SECONDARIES' GO if T, A:if,. 27.
(Before Mr Secondary PUTTER,)
FCRNE.O V. SMITH.
A PF.LICATE AFFAIR.—This w:is an action to recover the
sum of 111. I9s. 8d for rent.

Mr. THOMAS, who appeared for the plaintiff, said that the
defendant was a partner in the firm of Payne aryl Smith,
hanktrs. The action was to recover the amount of rent of
apartments. The defendant had pleaded that he never
was iLdebted, payment, and set oft. It was difficult
to say which defence would be depended upon,
but he understood the r. al defence was, that he
was not liable, that the apartments were occupied by a female
who passed as his wife, but who was Lot so in fact. it was,
however, clear that in law if a person allowed a female to pass
under his name he was responsible for the debts she might
incur. Ile (the Learned Counsel) trusted that, for the sake
of honour and decency, such a defence would be repudiated by
the jury.
Mr. Scale deposed that a Mrs. Heathcote lived at plaintiff's
house in Pratt-street, and afterwards in Kings street, Camden-
town. Defendant used to be there four or five days a week,
and lived with her as his wife. He used to ask if his wife was
at home. They always conducted themselves in a very be-
coming manner. The house was a very respectable one, and
he had not the slightest idea that they were not married.
Mr. Ilaitittsori then addressed the juty for the defendant.
He did nct deny that there had been an intimacy between de-
fendant and Mrs. Heathcote, whose real name was Cousins,
and contend•,d that she took the lodgings herself, and therefore
that the defendant was not liable; that plaintiff knew very well
that the woman was not married, and vet, that the defendant's
name was not Heathcote but Smith, and had actually bor-
rowed money of him, and signed a promissory nate for
the amount, promising to repay hint in the name of Smith. As
to the law of the ease, it had been held by Lord Ells nborough,
that to render, a person liable the female must not only pa's
under his name, but reside under his roof as one of his family.
In this case it was clear that the woman Lad never passed un-
der the name of Smith, and that the defendant was only a
casual visitor, for an immoral purpose, wi h the knowledge of
the plaintiff.
Catherine Isabella Cousins was then called, and swore she
took the lodgings herself, and paid the rent. She was in arrear
when she lett, and hail been called upon several times to pay it,
and believed she had paid all. Mr. Smith used to call about
twice a week. She never lived with him as his wife. Never
passed as a married woman. but it was hot a fair question to
ask who had supported her. Plaintiff knew her before she
went to live at his house, and must have known she was riot a
married woman.

Mr. THOMAS contended that the plaintiff had no knowledge
of any impropriety, and that the plea of payment had not been
made out, even if the witness had spoken the truth. He consi-
dered the defence, under any circumstances, was very dis-
creditable.

The Learned SECON na RY left the caw tothe jury, who gave
a verdict for the amount claimed.

A combination of int,rests between certain Midland
and Northern Railways, said to be meditated, gave a stimulus
to operations in the shares of all the several lines and projected
lines in question, and it being unders.ood that the Direct Lon-
don and Manchester Railway, laid out by Alt. Rasiriek, which
has the active support of a powerful body of manufacturers, is
to be included in the confederacy, the shares of the latter line,
not yet issued, were done at the high price of 31 prem. for the
coming out. They were last quoted at 2i prem. Thcee of
the rival, or Remington'?, line were heavy at *to prem. ;
Teen and Dove Valley closed 1 to 1 prem. ; London, War-
wick, and Kidderminster, 11 to 2 preen ; Rushy and /len-
tingdon Junction, to 1,4 prem. ; Leicester and Bedford, 21 is
4 prem. ; London and York, 4 to * prem. ; Great Luxemburg,
* to a prem.—Morning Post of yesterday.
PRICE OF GOLD —1 be premium on gold at Paris
is 12 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s.
10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25 45 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short tieing
25 55, it follows that gold is 0.39 per cent, dearer in London
than in Paris. By advices front Hamburg!' the price of
gold is 434 per mark, which, at the English inns price of
3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange
of 13 91; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at
short being 13 104, it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent.
dearer in London than in Ilambure,ll.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON WEsTMINSTER-
Tuesday a poor old woman, named Elizabeth Clark, ':.'to aas
above seventy years of age, expired in the Westminster Hos-
pital, from dreadful injuries she received en Westminster-
bridge. The unfortunate woir-Sii was a native of Dublin, and
had for some time resided in Old Py e•street, Westminster.
As she was proceeding across the carriase- way of Westminster-
bridge, a fly belonging to Mr Newman, of Tulse-hill, Briren,
was going slowly towards Bridee-street, and the driver called
out to her, but she apparently did not hear him, and being
knocked down by the horse, both wheels went over her. Pe-
lice-constable Johnson immediately conveyed her to the hos..
pital in a nearly insensible state, and it was discovered that
several of her ribs and her hip were fractured. She expired.
yesterday from the t ffects of the injuries.
LYNCH LAW IN V essratlNSTeß.—A short time,
since, a woman, named Smith, was committed on the coroner's
warrant, on the charge of manslaughter of her child, aged four
months, by wilful neglect. In consequence irt some detect in
the med cal testimony, she was acquitted on Saturday at the
Old Bailey. She returned late the same eight to her old quar-
ters in the Almonry, at. Westminster : but as soon as it became
known, the other int absants of the. neighbourhood attacked her
en masse, and but for the interkrence of the police her Irks
would have been in great jeopardy. She was obliged imme-
diately to remove from the }dace.
HALF •YEARLY EXCHANGE OF THE QUARTERS OF
THE HOUSEHOLD TROOPS.-011 AlODaity, by order of his
Grace the Duke of Wellington, the Commas der-in-Chief, the
following alterations are to be made in th- stations of the three
regiments a Foot Guards : —The first battalion of Grenadier
Guards, under Colonel Lascelles, from St. John's Wood to the
Wellington Barracks ; the second bay talion of the same regimes t,
Captain Boldero, from the Tower to Windsor; Colon," Fer-
gusson, with the third battalion, moves from Portman-street
to St. George's Barracks ; the first battalion of Fusilier
Guards proceed from the Wellington to St. John's Wood
Barracks, and the second from St. George's, Charing Cross, to
Winchester; the first battalion of Coldstream Guards from
Windsor to the Tower, and the second from Winchester to
the Portman-street Barracks. The recruits remain at Croy-
don. The cavalry regiments change but once a year, the
Life Guards being at Knightsbridge and the Blues at the
Regent's Park Barracks.
MERCHANT SEAMEN.—MOrdIy next a part of the
Act of last session"for the protection of seamen entering on board
merchant ships, will come into operation. It seems that thee
men have been greatly imposed upon by persons undertaking
to procure them strips, and the object of the Legislature has
been to afford them proteetion from future impositions. The
Board of Trade is, from the Ist proximo, to license persons
to procure seamen for merchant ships. " And every lieen-e
shall be granted for such period, and upon such term:, and
upon such security being gleen, and shall be revocable upon
such conditions as the Lords of the said Committee may at
any time or times appoint." There are penalties for offences
against the Act. The other provisions are to take effect from
the Ist of November.

THE RIVER PLATE.—New:; is said to have been
brought to Cadiz by a vessel whteh sailed from the River Plate
about the mirt.ile of June last, whereby we are given to under-
stand that General Rosas had acceded to the demands of the
English and French Governments, and had consented to with-
draw the Buenos Avrean troops from the territory of Monte
Video. The terms of the pacification are said to be—that both
the rival candidates for the presidency of the republic of Uru-
guay, Generds Oribe and Rivera, should be passed over, and
that anew election fot president should take place immediately.
The authenticity of this news is mere probable, inasmuch as it
agrees with the terms which England and France have proposed
and insisted upon It was also represented that the Govern-
ment of Monte Video had issued a general amnesty to all
parties who would come in and submit themselves within
twenty days. The repot t further adds that Government paper,
which had been so much depressed, was rapidly rising in value.

TIIE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BRIGH-
TON RAILWAY.—The man Ridley, who met with the accident
beneath the shed of the B:ighton terminus on Sunday nigiir.
whereby his leg was broken, underwent the same night, under
the skilful direetii n of Mr. Lowdell, house surgeon of the
h spital, amputation of the leg. We are glad to hear he is
doing well.

MARVELLOUS EFFECTS OF GUANO AND E LEC -
TRICITY.—A Yankee lad, whose father was a farmer, went
into a barn to play a short time ago, and being detained a pri-
soner by a thunder storm, he fell asleep on a bag of guano,
The old gentleman, when the storm was over, went into the
farm-yard to look after his son, and met a giant, eight feet high,
coming out of the barn. " Hallo ! who are you ?" he cried ;
" what are you doing here ?" " Why, father," squeaked the
Goliah, " its me ; don't you know Tommy ?" " You I" the
astonished parent exclaimed; " why, Tom, how on earth did
you get stretched out so long in so short a time 2" " Why,
father," replied the boy, looking down upon the gaping old
man, " I slept upon them bags of guano as you put in the
barn, and that and the lightning together has done the busi-
ness."

SEittous ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE WINDSOR
EAST INDIAMA N.—A very serious accident occurred on.

Captain Furnell, commander, on its arrival from Calcutta at
Gravesend. on Saturday forenoon. When the vessel arrived

T E r_,LIG.ENCE

i
t r)RT 47"1N x'lll 17 T. Li,e-pool, Aug 25.
li",;s67ll?!cal'ey was ii_iieted for robbing James O'Brien,
a' ALtrichelter, t,ir,v, at the thue of the robbery, personal
riole.,ee towards him.

Mr. R. o..ster ,onducted the prosecution : the prisoner was
defended by Mr.. Wilkins.
It appeared that nn the night in question Me. O'Brien, the
prosecutor; who is a turner, was proceeding alsng Jersey-street,
Alanchetter, w Lett he was met by several men ranning. One
of them pusleti s4ain4 him and thrust him against the rails of
Mr. Heevor's cotton-mill. He tried to recover himself, but
one of the men bit him on the hand and on the chin with some
instrument which projected an inch or so from the heel of his
hand. and the prosecutor fitially became insensible. He ha,l,
however, recollection sufficient to feel one of the men opening
his waistcoat and taking., away his watch. The guard was
broken or en', and at the moment it gave way he heard some-
thing click like a pair of pincers. He must have lain there some
little time until he was roused by a woman, who shook him and
bade him get up. He partially recovered his senses and got
home. The prisoner at the bar was in appearance similar to
one of the men that robbed him.

It appeared that the nest morning the prisoner offered a
watch in pawn to a pawnbroker at Ashton• under-Lyne. He
was asked some questions about it, in answer to which he
stated that he had had it for several years. 'The pawnbroker
was not sathtied with the answers, and the prisoner said he
could bring a doz:n men who knew it to be his. He went
nut, and came back with a man who said it belonged to the
prisoner. He then went out a second time and brought an-
other, who al-o said he knew the prisoner, and that the
watch was his. While this was going on the constable, who
had been secretly sent for, arrived, and the prisoner then
endeavoured to make his escape. The man who was with him
was a resident in Ashtou, and said the prisoner had come to
Lim in the street and asked him to vouch for his lawful pos-
session of the watch, promising, as a reward, should he (the
prisoner) succeed in pawning it, to let the other have a day's
fuddle out of the proceeds.
The prisoner was found Guilty. To be transported for 15

year

Joseph Moran and George Murray were indicted for a bur-
glary in the house of George Webster, at Manchester.
Mr. Monk eonftleterl the prosecution ; the prisoners were
not defended by cnungel.

Moran, who was but 17 years of age, pleaded " Guilty."
The pro,ecutor, it appeared, kept a clothier:* shop in
Ilauging-diteh, in Alanchester. On the night of the lath of
July 1 zst the polleeman on du'y passing the shop, observed'
that tr e d was open, and on going in and procuring a light,
found Al ran secreted under the counter, and a quantity of
clothe- at the door ready.to be taken away. He pretended to
have been sleeping, and expressed great displeasure at being
disturbed by the policeman. He was taken into custody and
removed to he ivtlic, .effice. The officer then went in search
of lintr-ty, chum he had lately seen in Moran's company, and
f..und him coming out o' an entry about ten yards off the shop.
He apprehended him, and on examination it proved that he
had on hitn a nt.w coat under a Taglioni, which did not fit him,
and had on it the private mark of Mr. Webster. Another coat
vt,s found concealed in a dungheap at a little distance.—Verdict,
Guilty.

Moran was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment,
and Aturray. a± art old offender, to be transported tor ten years.
Peter Ro. bertson was indicted for a burglary in the house of
Tn,tru,s Harris, at Liverpool, on the Bth of slay last.
Toe prise,ntor, it appeared, kept a public-house, and about
flaw o'clock nu the night in question, the police-officer on the
h-at, perc.avio, a light in the cellar kitchen, laid himself down
on the flea to reconnoitre. He saw the prisoner with a candle
in his hand ..•eairhily ',loving about the kitchen anti examining
