On Thursday last, an alarming fire broke out in
mill situated near Troyes. The whole of the corn, flour, anu,
machinery were destroyed, and the loss is estimated $l.
200,000 francs.—On Monday the commune of Quincarnon
was the scene of a violent conflagration. The flames burst
forth in a building next to a smith's forge, at four in the day,
Eight houses were consumed, with a quantity of furniture, an
some cattle, and it was twelve o'clock at night before the fire
could be got under.—On the 12th a fire burst forth at Beßingo'
hausen, near Wursburg, in Germany. The dryness of the
season rendered it impossible to obtain water, and the inhabit-
ants being in the fields, forty houses were consumed before
the flames could be extinguished.
The Journal des Chemins de Fee of Saturday pub'
lishes a letter, addressed by Mr. Brunel to the Royal Railroad,
Company from Genoa to Piedmont, and to the frontiers 0'
Lombardy. In this letter Mr. Brunel summarily states the,
result of his surveys, undertaken in order to determine the best
line for the projected road. After the most minute incestigle
tions, he has acquired the conviction that the railway offers si°
difficulties which his experience cannot easily conquer. I,°
the distance which separates Genoa from the frontier towards
Milan, and which may be evaluated at 120 kilometres (3,0,
French leagues), 25 only run through a rough and difficult
country, and out of this number 15 at most present serious
but not insuperable obstacles. The remainder of the line will
pass over the most favourable ground. Thus the passage °
the Apennines, the name of which, as Mr. Brunel remarks.
sounds so awfully to an English ear, is formidable only to sit
inattentive and unskilful observer, and all the conditions for
the inclines and curves will be accomplished without extraor-

their arrangements the trustees of Gurney wrote to the de-
fendant, informing him of what had taken place, and request-
ing the payment of the above amount, as they had undertaken
to pay their prinicipal's losses at the ensuing Houghton Meet-
ing-. The result of this communication was, that the defendant
gave four several bills, payable at different periods. Of
these bills the one forming the subject of the present action
was one, the first of the series having been regular* paid
on its arrival at maturity. Between that period, however, and
the day on which the present bill had become due, the de-
fendant had been informed that the trustees had failed in their
performance of the agreement with respect to the payment of
some of Mr. Gurney's bets, and he, consequently, having
given the bills upon the faith of that promise, declined to ho-
nour the second of the bills.
The main ground of defence was—first, that the plaintiff
had not given consideration for the bill ; and that if he had,
then that he had done so with the full knowledge of the cir-
cumstances under which the bill had been given. The witness
who was called to establish these facts, however, distinctly
proved that the plaintiff had discounted the bill for him, re-
taining only the amount of interest, at the rate of 5 per cent,;
and he further stated that the plaintiff, at the time of the dis-
count, was totally ignorant of the nature of the bill, or under
what circumstances it had been given—namely, that it had
been given in part payment of a gambling debt.
The Jury, the defendant having thus failed in proving his
pleas, under the direction of the Learned Judge, returned a
verdict for the plaintiff for 3071., including interest.

TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN
SIR,—I take the liberty of sending you the follow-
mg circular, in order that the public Press may see
the view which the Yorkshire coal masters take of
the Bill now in Parliament respecting Mines, and, in-
vite your observations thereon; at the same time I
oeg to express a hope that y?u strongly deprecate the
hasty legislation observable in passing this Bill. To
show that the coal masters and colliers am not all the
degraded set that they have been represented to be,
I beg to refer you to Mr. Symon's Report, pages 201,
272, and 290.—1 remain, &c.
HENRY BRIGGS.
Overfon, near Wakefield, June 18, 1842.

At the sitting of the Court of Assizes for the Vos-
ges, held at Epinal, on the 9th inst., a shepherd, who
was known by the name of Jacob Mayer, was tried
for robbery, attended with an attempt to murder,
under the following circumstances :—On March 15,
Francoise, the wife of a wooden-shoemaker, named
Corniot, living at Miclrevaux, set out alone early in the
morning to walk to Neufchateau, to make some pur-
chase. As she passed along she was observed by Mayer,
' who was keeping his sheep near the road, and, judging
from her appearance that she was richer than she
really was, determined to waylay her on her return.
Between four and five in the afternoon he saw her
coming back, and immediately, and without ad-
dressing a word to her, gave her a violent
blow on her head with his crook, and knocked
her down, continuing to beat her, not only
with the same weapon, but also with large stones
picked from the road,. and, finding that he had not
yet killed her, he stamped upon her chest with his iron
shod shoes. Having thus reduced her to a state of in-
sensibility, he dragged her off the road to a retired
spot, took from her person all the money and other
articles of any value she had about her, and left her,
believing her to be dead. Night coming on without
her re-appearance'at home, her family became alarmed,
and went out in search of her. At eleven o'clock they
found her lying where Mayer had left her, covered
with gore her head, her hands, her arms,
and her whole person exhibiting the effects of
the violent treatment she had received, and the strug-
gles she had made in her own defence. Still she
breathed, and was carried home. With great skill
and care she was restored to her senses, and, after
a time, was able to relate all the circumstances above
related, giving an accurate description of her assail-
ant. Two shepherds were arrested and brought into
her presence ; she recognised Mayer, who was de-
tained, and the other man released. On further exa-
mination, the blouse ofMayer exhibited stains of blood,
and also spots from some syrup of gum, evidently from
a bottle of that liquid, which Francoise Corniot had
brought with her from Neufchateau, and was broken in
the conflict: Fragments of the bottle were found on the
spot, and also marks of the liquid were perceptible on
some of the stones used by the assassin to consummate his
crime, and, particularly on one he had placed on her
cap, which had come off in the struggle, to prevent
its being blown back to the road, and thereby betray
the spot to which he had dragged the body. It was
also observed that the iron of his crook had been
newly filed, either to take out some notches made
by his desperate use of it, or to obliterate the
traces of blood. All these concurring circum-
stances, added to the depositions of Francoise Cor-
niot, were so damning, that Mayer, at length,
confessed his crime, and pointed out the place where
he had concealed the money of which he had robbed
her. This confession, he repeated at his trial ;
Francoise Corniot also appeared as a witness against
him, being sufficiently recovered to go into Court,
but still in a state to convince all who saw her that
her health was ruined for ever, and probably her life
shortened. Yet, such was the stolidity of Mayer,
that he did not show the slightest sign of remorse
on seeing the lamentable condition to which he had
reduced her. The jury pronounced him guilty, but
added that there were extenuating circumstances,
and consequently the Court could only sentence him
to hard labour for life at the hulks. He received his
judgment with the same insensibility he had displayed
throughout.

THURSDAY'S SALE.

This sale closed yesterday, at Mr. George Robins's rooms,

Among the works of Hogarth the only subjects calling for
notice were—

CIRCULAR TO MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT.

Wakefield, June 14, 1842.

As the organ of the Coal and Iron Masters' Asso-
ciation of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it becomes
my duty to transmit to you the following observations
on the subject of:the Bill now before Parliament, for
regulating and. restricting the employment of females
and young persons in Mines:
Anxious as the owners of mines in this district are
to co-operate with Parliament in remedying acknow-
ledged evils and abuses, they are, at the same time,
alarmed at the prospect of the inevitable hardships
and distress which the Bill, in its present shape, will
occasion ; and they earnestly entreat your attentive
consideration of the following statements, which are
founded on the experience of practical men, and which
embody the opinions both of the employers and em-
ployed.
The majority of the coalowners of this district have
long lamented the practice of employing females and
very young children in mines : and while they are
fully sensible of the temporary suffering which must
necessarily be occasioned by their exclusion, yet they
have felt it to be their duty to discourage, as much as
possible, the introduction of wom?n, and of very
young persons, of either sex, into the pits. The fol-
lowing extract, from a Report agreed to by the
owners of coal and iron-stone mines, assembled at
Wakefield, on the 21st of May, 1841, shows that the
good intentions of Parliament were actually in some
degree anticipated, more than a year ago, by the
masters themselves :—" They recommend. the adop-
tion, by the whole body of the coalowners, of such
measures as are within their power ; and amongst the
first, they would point to the exclusion of females and
of children under eight years of age,"—and this re-
commendation has lately been followed up by a specific
resolution.
With respect to the,age at which males should be
admitted into mines, the members of this Association
have unanimously agreed to fix it at eight years ;
and they appeal to the testimony of numerous wit-
nesses in the Commissioners' Report, to prove that
colliers seldom attain the requisite proficiency in their
trade, unless they enter the pits when young. In the
thin coal-mines, it is more especially requisite that
boys, varying in age from eight to fourteen, should be
employed, as the underground roads could not be
made of sufficient height for taller persons without
:ncurring an outlay so great as to render the working
of such mines unprofitable.
Appendix B. of Mr. Symon's Report, shows that
out of eighty collieries inspected by him, forty-four
were worked in seams of three feet thick, and under,
tnd in such seams, a majority of the persons employed
nust necessarily be of low stature.
By the enactment of clause 2, in Lord Ashley's
Bill, on referring to the statistical table in the Corn-
fnissioners' Report, it will be found that 99 females
and 246 males, in every 1,345 persons employed in
this coal field, will be thrown out of employment;
tnd in the thin coal mines the proportion will be
ouch larger ; for in one particular concern near
Wakefield, in which 431 persons are employed un-
lerground, 89 are females, varying from nine to forty
/ears old, and 82 are males under thirteen years of
.ge. In this instance, therefore, (and it is only one
ase amongst many), 171 individuals, out of 431, will
,43 deprived of their employment by the proposed
'3ill, and left without any other apparent means of
obtaining a livelihood. • .
At the present moment, a majority of the coal mines
)f this district are working not more than three or
our days in each week, and the population are, con-
equentLy, in a state of great poverty and distress.
What, th m, would be the condition of a miner's fa-
nily, if deprived, by the Legislature, of the weekly
wages produced by the industry of the boys, in addi-
tion to thdse earned by the females ?
The coalowners fully admit the vast importance of
noral and intellectual training, as a means of im-
troving the social condition of the population, and
hey would be rejoiced to see it more general ; but

BAIL COURT, June 25.
(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
THE EARL OF CHESTERFIELD V. COUNT BATHYANY.
Mr. PLATT applied to the Court to postpone this
cause, which stood second on the list, on the following
grounds :—lt appeared by the pleas that Eleanor Sutor
had an annuity of 3001. a-year conveyed to trustees for
her benefit, and that she was the real plaintiff in the
cause. Her evidence therefore became necessary, and a
subricena was issued to bring her before the Court, and
also Mary Ann Smith, who was another necessary witness.
This subpcena was placed in the hands of a person
named Croly, on whose affidavit the application was
founded. He swore that on the 17th of June, he went
to Miss Sutor's house, 13, Bolton-street, Piccadilly, and
the servant having taken up his name, came down and
told him that Miss Sutor was ill in bed, and that as his
business was known, she would not see him. He called
again on the 23d of June, and was informed that Miss
Sutor was eta of town in Devonshire, and would not
return for some days. Under these circumstances he
(Mr. Platt) hoped the cause would be postponed.
Mr. THESIGER, for the plaintiff, said he did not think
there were any just grounds for the postponement of
the trial. It was very near coming on yesterday, before
Mr. Justice Coleridge, and it was never hinted that such
an application was to be made. Notice ought to have
been given of the intention to !nuke this application, and
then ho would have been prepared with an answer.
With regard to Mary Ann Smith, he believed she was
now in attendance, and with regard to Miss Sutor, he
believed she was to be seen every day on horseback, in
the parks, and therefore there were no good grounds for
postponing the trial.
Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—The nature of the plea is
such, that she might be a material witness, and it is sworn
that the servant said she was gone to Devonshire. You
must, answer the affidavit in the course of the day.
The cause cannot be tried to-day.
The Special Jury summoned on the case, were then
discharged till further notice.

A NAVAL FIELD MARSHAL.—The Moniteur of
Tuesday publishes a Royal ordinance, instituting a post
of Field-Marshal in the Marine Department. This
officer is to be commissioned by the Minister of Marino
to inspect at least once in two years the corps of In-
fantry belonging to the navy employed in the military
harbours of the kingdom or in its transatlantic establish-
ments. By another ordinance of the 16th inst., the
King raised to the rank of Naval Field-Marshal de la
Fitte de Soucy, Colonel of the "Marine Infantry" (for
such is the title of that arm in France).
STATE OF TILE NOTTINGHAM TRADE.—The bob-
bin net trade, both of fancy and and plain nets, is in a most
lamentably stagnant state, and scarcely any nets can be dis-
posed of, except the very best fancy patterns. The lace trade
is rapidly leaving Nottingham. Never at any time was the
exportation of machinery so extensive; as, from the best in-
formation we can obtain, eleven machines will leave for various
destinations this week. We have a letter, signed S. Bishop,
from Calais, dated June 20, assuring us, that in Calais at the
present time; there are no less than sixty men in the lace trade
out of work, many of whom have left decent situations in Not-
tingham, with an idea of getting work there.—Nottinghain
Review.
SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—(Proma Correspondent.)
—Mr. White's large boa constrictor, which escaped from the
menagerie, and was missing for seventeen days, returned to his
cage at half-past eleven o'clock on Friday morning. The wall
he got over is twenty feet high. The keeper thinks he slept in
the long grass in Hyde Park, and at night climbed the trees.
Mr. White, the proprietor. sent several of his servants to search
the sewers and drains in the Park. The Humane Society men
were also on the look-out for the stranger, in expectation of a
large reward. A soldier at the Magazine said he saw him at
the barracks in Hyde Park, but was so frightened that he lost
all power to take him. The length of the boa constrictor is
eight fret. • • •
BEHOLD THE PERFECT MAN !—On Thursday tnere
was presented to the House of Commons, a petition thus de-
scribed in its Votes:—" Blasphemy—Petition of Charles
Bradley, for a law declaring it blasphemy in any, one who
shall teach anything contrary to sound doctrine. Who is
Charles Bradley ? And, oh ! tell us what " sound doc-
trine." Rome says she is infallible, and has it: The Pro-
testant denounces the Romanist as an idolater, Ind, thrusting
an Act of Parliament in your face, vows his is the "sound"
doctrine. SCotland kicks off Episcopacy, and proclaims it to be
there. The Unitarians, towering above them all, proclaims,
" I have found it—l have found it!" De not let it be sup-
posed that we treat the glorious truths of Christianity with the
remotest irreverence; but, while we cherish and held fast by
the sacred volume, we trust it may not yet be blasphemy to
smile at Charles Bradley's prayer fur another page of ridiculous
legislation.—Morning Advertiser.
LIGHT/GOLD Coml.—Since our last publication a
change has been made in this place much to the public advan-
tage relating to light gold. The Branch Bank of England at
Leeds has been empowered by the Directors of the Bank of
England to receive sovereigns and half-sovereigns that are not
of due weight, at the value of 3/. 17e. .101 d. per ounce, and
it is found that on an average the sovereigns are worth in this
way 19s. 9d., and the half-sovereigns 9s. 10d., so that the loss
does not exceed 3d. each upon the former and 2d. upon the
latter. For some time the Branch Bank only received this
coin from the other banks in payments amounting to 3,000
sovereigns, and from shopkeepers and others in sums amount-
ing to 50 and upwards, and that only from their customers ; but
now they receive as small amounts as 20 sovereigns and up-
wards, giving in exchange either Bank notes or gold of proper
weight. In this way the light gold will find its way back to the
Mint without any very heavy loss to the holders, and we
hope without any further interruption to trade. The other
banks not having the same facilities as the Branch Bank of
England, receive the light sovereigns at a deduction of 6d.
each, and the half-sovefeigns in the same proportion. The
practice of tradesmen is various, but it is probable that the
deduction will not generally, now that these facilities are
afforded, exceed 3d. in the poun4. Sovereigns are not required
to turn the scale ; they are weight if they are an exact balance
with it, and cannot be legally refused at their full value of 20s.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, Juiii 24.—There has
been no animation in our market, and the sales have
been to a limited extent only, the show having consisted
almost entirely of Barbadoes. Prices remain firm. The
unnatural flatness in most branches of trade, and the
universally disastrous state of the country, is manifestly
seriously affecting the demand for sugar, sustained at an
exorbitant price to support a destructive monopoly, the
classes who principally consume it becoming daily more
straitened in their means of purchasing so expensive a
commodity, Two cargoes, 600 hhds. from Trinidad,
and 500 hhds. from Jamaica, have been received during
the week.—Bristol Mercury.
The Belfast Northern Whig says that, after all, an
attempt will be made by the manager to "settle up"
this ugly affair on the terms of the compromise, by which
Mr. E. 'ferment will still be secured his seat. Mr.
O'Connell should look to this.

GUILDHALL.

JUVENILE PICKTOCIETS.—Two diminutive-looking boys,
apparently under twelve years of age, were placed at the bar
before the sitting Alderman, on the charge of picking pockets
in Fleet-street.
t IThe constable stated that, about 10 on Saturday morning, he
observed the prisoners following a gentleman up towards Lud-
gate-hill, and knowing them to be thieves, he watched them
until he saw the elder take a handkerchief from the gentleman's
pocket. On perceiving that he was observed, he immediately
passed it to the other, who ran away up St. Bride's-passage,
but, after a smart chase, was taken on Blackfriars Bridge.
The gentleman who ownedthe handkerchief came to the station-
house, and promised to attend to prosecute, but he was not at
present in Court.
Tho worthy ALDERMAN having been informed that they
were known far some years to the police as pickpockets and
" area sneaks," committed each of them to Br►dewell for three
months.

On Friday morning a fine young woman, twenty-
one years of age, named Jones, residing with her mother, a
laundress, living in Swan-lane, near London-bridge, expired
from having swallowed a large quantity of arsenic on the night
of Monday last. The matter has been kept a profound secret
by the family, and there is not the slightest doubt but the body
would have been interred without any inquiry taking place, had
not information of the case reached the ears of the proper
authorities, who lost no time in waiting on the City Coroner-
who has issued his warrant for holding the inquest. Not

The Lady Mary Wood arrived at Southampton
on Friday, from Lisbon.. The mails were landed at Fal-
mouth, and will be delivered on Monday. The advices
from Lisbon are to the 20th inst. The elections for
Deputies to the Cortes had commenced on the preceding
day. The Government candidates had been returned in
Oporto and the two Douro distridts, in the Beira Alta
and Baina, in Tras-os-Montes, and in the Algarves. The
Estremadura (Lisbon district) elections were most
vigorously contested, and it was quite impossible to pre-
dict the result, either at Lisbon or at Evora, although,
on the entire elections, the Government, it was said,
would have a majority of three to one. The commercial
and slave-trade treaties remained still unsigned, the delay
being attributable to squabbles about the force of cer-
tain words and phrases in translating the English
draught sent from Downing-street into Portuguese.
On Tuesday the Duke of Orleans and Prince Ber-
nard de Saxe-Weimar visited tIM Depot-General of the
War Department. Lieut.-General Pelet, the Director-
in-Chief of the establishment, accompanied by the heads
of the several sections, accompanied them through the
building. In the room which contains the archives and
correspondence relating to the various wars of France,
Louis XI V. downwards, Prince Bernard examined with
great interest several of the documents relating to the
Grand Army and the Emperor Napoleon, having himself
served with the, French troops at that period. The two
Princes afterwards visited the military library, which
each officer in the French service is entitled to consult
on all matters relating to the art of war. The room in
which the new map of France is executed—from the re-
duction of the scale in which the surveys are made to
the engraving on copper—excited great interest, and
sets of the principal maps hitherto completed were pre-
sented to the illustrious visitors. The collection of maps
and plans in manuscript, some relating to fields of battle
and others to the various countries in Europe, as well
as those made during the expedition to Egypt, were also
aninuteli, inspected. BOth visitors'expressedthemstlres
highly grsdned with their visit.

slightest reason is at present given for the rash act.
The Minister of Commerce, on the application of
the Prefect of the Ardennes, has granted 6,000 f. towards the

The adjourned meeting under tho fiat of bank-
ruptcy issued against Mr. Edlin, late landlord of the Gloucester
Hotel, was held at the Town-hall, on Thursday, and after the
bankrupt had undergone a further examination, the Commis-
sioners expressed their intention of allowing him to pass.
Previous to this, however, it was necessary that the bank-
rupt should go througn the form of giving up his watch and
what money he had on his person. This he did, and laid his
watch c,n the table. As the assignees were not satisfied with
his conduct, the article was retained ; but, on examination, it
was found to be of very inferior value to the watch which had
bee❑ given up by the bankrupt at his first examination, and
which had been returned to him. Under these circumstances,
the Commissioners determined on delaying the final passing
of the bankrupt till the audit meeting in December.—Brighton
Herald.
litArLwAy Axucs.—At a recent meeting of the
Institution of Civil Engineers, Mr. C. Hood, in a valuable
paper which he read, broached boldly an original view of the
causes of fracture of railv:ay axles, and hence the cause of many
serious accidents on railways. It was contended that any bar of
iren, even of the most fibrous and tough character, being sub-
jected, when cold, to percussive action, would assume a crys-
tallized texture, and eventually break ; that this would be mate-
rially hastened by the effects of partial heat and magnetism ;
that the effect of vibration is most sensibly felt in the imme-
diate proximity of the cause of it ; that this tough and fibrous
character of wrought iron is produced by art, and in all the
changes that have been described we see an effort at returning
to the natural and crystalline structure common to a large
number of metals, and that the rotating of railway axles ren-
ders them peculiarly subject to this influonce. The arguments
were illustrated by many practical examples and specimens of
iron broken under various circumstances.

BRISTOL, FRIDAY -..The inquest on the body of Roberts was
adjourned at six o'clock last evening till twelve o'clock this
morning, when the Coroner read over the whole of the deposi-
tions, commenting on those parts of the evidence which ap-
peared to inculpate any of the prisoners, and explaining that
the law especially protected police constables, end more parti-
cularly when they were in the execution of their duty, as in
this case, and that, therefore, the crime was one of wilful
murder. It would be for the Jury to consider how far the
evidence tended to exculpate sonic of the prisoners from having
participated directly in the attack on the deceased, but if they
were satisfied of their having been present at the time, the law
considered them equally guilty, unless they had merely joined
in the disturbance after the police were knocked down and in-
jured; in that case they would be dealt with by another tri-
bunal. The Jury having retired, in about two hours returned
a verdict of ss Wilful Murder" against C'iarles Dwyer, and
Jeremiah aid William Driier, as accessories ; and acquitted
Gallagher, Donovan, and Regan, who will appear before the
Magiatralee to answer the charge of assaulting the police in the
ezecution of their duty.

On Wednesday last, a young man, dressed
with elegance, entered the shop of a hair-dresser, in the Fau-
bourg St. Antoine, and, after having been shaved, placed him-
self before a glass to hare his hair dressed. Whilst the hair-
dresser, who had been curling his hair, had stepped for a
moment into the bacl—room to fetch some water, tee young
man seized a razor and cut his throat. On the return of the
hair-dresser, he obtained assistance, and the young man was
conveyed to the Hospital Saint Antoine, but with slight hopes
of recovery. He was able, however, to write down on a paper
that h 3 was a Belgian, named Louis Dertresse, and that he
had been driven to the commission of the act by domestic
callunity.
