MATION.

A considerable sensation was caused yesterday, in Liver-
pool, by the intelligence of the amalgamation of the London
and Birmingham Railway Company with that of the Grand
Junction, a measure which involves important and valuable
consequences to the proprietors, and will, it is expected,
lead to results very advantageous to the public.
On a calculation of the respective interests of the par-
ties, it appeared, that while the London and Bir-
mingham line yielded the full dividend of ten per
cent., the Grand Junction was in a condition to pay twelve
per cent., so that the equalisation of the two properties, for
equal dividends in future, required that the Grand Junction
shares should be "written up" twenty pounds per share; and
it was, therefore, agreed that new shares, of twenty pounds
each, should be created free of cost, to be added to the
original shares, and the whole formed into common stock,
entitled to common dividends from the Ist October inst. It has
been determined, also, we understand, that on the London and
Birmingham line: the Company will now commence being
their own carriers, and that a considerable reduction will
at once be made in the charges for the conveyance both of
goods and passengers, so as to render the calculations upon
which any project of competing lines may be based extremely
unpromising. By arrangements in progress the consolidated
company will proceed to establish what has long been con-
sidered a desideratum, a complete system of trunk lines from
London to Glasgow (via the Carlisle and the Caledonian);
and from London to Holyhead; and across Ireland ; and they
have decided to encourage in every way the formation, into
such trunk lines 4 of the most direct lines subserving the trade
of the country.—Liverpool Mercury.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

Daniel Garrett, who stands charged with committing nine
robberies from railway stations, was brought before Mr. Al-
derman Hughes Hughes for final examination. The prisoner
looked pale and less at ease than before. He had been al-
ready committed on seven charges of felony.
Mr. Clarkson said he bad a little evidence to add in one
case, that of stealing a black portmanteau with its con-
tents, value 201., the property of Mr. Daniel, of Bath, who
was a passenger on the Great Western Railway, on the 29th
of July.
Collard, the officer employed to superintend the railway
police, produced a pair of Wellington boots, which he took
from the prisoner's feet at the last examination.
Mr. Daniel identified them as part of the contents of his
portmanteau. A further portion was found at the prisoner's
lodging.
The depositions were read and signed, and the prisoner was
committed on this charge.
The depositions, as originally taken, respecting the stealing
of Mr. Prance's writing case, and upon which Garrett is to be
indicted jointly with Maynard, the estate agent, were then
read over to the witnesses, and
Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES committed the prisoner
on this charge.
Mr. Nash, clerk to Messrs. Swain and Co., the solicitors for
the prosecution, in reply to a question, stated that some pro-
perty supposed to have been stolen had not yet been claimed.
Mr. Clarkson applied for a certificate, allowing the expenses
already incurred.
Mr. Alderman lIUGHES HUGHES said it was a case of the
utmost possible importance to the public, and therefore he
would grant the application.
The book-keeper at the Blossoms Inn appeared to answer a
complaint for not delivering five packages of fruit which
arrived at his inn, addressed to Edwin Price, No. 8, Three
Dagger-court, Cripplegate, within 24 hours after their arrival
It appeared that the goods were sent by a van in due
time, but the driver had directions not to deliver them until
he had the innkeeper's demand for carriage, &c., 225,
first placed in his hand. The carman obeyed his order.
Price claimed that the goods should be first delivered, but
exhibited the 225., and offered to stake the money in the
hands of the nearest publican ; but the carman was im-
moveable, and drove off with the goods.
The book-keeper claimed the right to bold goods for the
carriage due in respect to them.
Mr. Alderman Woon said it was necessary that he should
remove a misunderstanding upon the point. To prevent
frauds, and for the protection of the public, the law required
that the goods should be delivered within a certain time at
all events, and whether the carriage and porterage were paid
or refused. But the statute gave ample protection to the
innkeeper, for it provided that if a person received the goods
and refused to pay the proper charges, a warrant might be
forthwith issued by a magistrate, to bring the party before
him, and saddle him with costs for loss cf time. Ile there-
fore fined the defendant 20s. for non-delivery.

WORSHIP-STREE7'.
CRUEL CASE OF DESERTION.—Jaynes Panther, a middle-
aged man of respectable appearance, was placed at the bar,
before Mr. Broughton, charged, at the instance of the parish
authorities of St. Luke, with having deserted his wife and
five children, who had been for upwards of two years charge-
able to that parish.
Messrs. Blake and Gregg, the overseers, attended in sup-
port of the complaint, and said that they were instructed to
prosecute the prisoner to the utmost-extent, as a more heart-

less and aggra.vated case had never come under their cogni-
sance.

The prisoner's wife, a woman of very lady-like address_
and deportment,
herap
ohrnmstbaenndtin h
had forate c
ilt length
of
time at
aofslar held acommercialv
of 2001. per annum, and that they had lived
together in comfort and happiness until about two
years and a half ago, when she discovered that
he had formed a clandestine intimacy with a woman
of abandoned character. About a week after the fact had
come to her knowledge, the prisoner suddenly left home
under the pretence of being called into the country upon ur-
gent business, and she had never since seen or heard of him
until they met that day in Court. Having no friends to
apply to for assistance, herself and children were reduced to
the utmost distress; and they were at length reluctantly
compelled to throw themselves upon the parish, by which
they had been entirely supported for the last two years.

Mr. BALLANTINE—Not exactly, for in this case your client
has broken bulk and pawned the articles. In any ease which
looks like a felony, where these lodging-house keepers are
concerne', I shall certainly send it for trial. A law kill sou
come into operation which will act as some check upon them,
by compelling them to take out licences.
The fact of pawning was fully proved against the priscne-,
who was committed for trial ; Mr. Ballantine oliserving tha:
there was one peculiarity connected with it, namely, that ai
the prosecutor, being a witness, could not join ship, the
• advance note became valueless.
The ship's husband applied to know whether he could
not have the prosecutor committed to hard labour for thin v
days for not joining the Cumberland, but the idea Iv.s
scouted.

The tailor who sold the clothes (not worth 27.) for 41. CR.
then presented himself, and asked to have evidence heard for
the prisoner; but Mr. Ballantine told him a jury must deter-
mine the merits of the case.

The prisoner was then removed, with permission to put in
bail, himself in 801. and two sureties of 401. each. •

U PENING O}.ICHE NE NV PUSEYITE
CHURCH IN LEEDS.
Tha Puseyites are next week to commence a ne w
and forward movement in this town. It is known
that through some munificent donations of persons at a
distance, a church has been built in Leeds, of a very costly
and splendid architecture, and bearing many of the rerane ea
of the churches prior to the Reformation ; and that it is
designed as a model of the churches approved by the highest
Puseyites, and as an exhibition of the modes of worship
and of the doctrines approved by that stet of (Word
churchmen. The name given to this church by its un-
known founder was very significant of the al-
liance between Puseyite and Romish doctrine,
being that of the church of the Holy Cross. But
the Bishop of Ripon, notwithstanding his timid caution,
positively objected to consecrate a church bearing
that name ; and it has therefore been changed for the
name of St. Saviour's church—which title to us un-
learned Dissenters, has always appeared very absurd,
and as designed either to reduce the Saviour to the rank
of the Saints, or more probably elevate the Saints to
the dignity of the Saviour.
St. Saviour's Church, however, is, according to the
official announcement, to be consecrated by " the Lerd
Bishop of Ripon," " on the ensuing Feast of St. Sims n
and St. Jude ;" which be it known to those who are net
learned in Saints' days, falls upon the 28th of October.
And though the Lord Bishop is to preachin the morning
a sermon whichwilldoubtless be quite inoffensive, there is to
come on in the evening of the day the Apostle of
Anglo Catholicism or Semi-Popery, the Rev. E. B.
Pusey, D.D., of Oxford. All the world knows that
this gentleman was suspended from preaching for te 0
years, by the University of Oxford, for his sermon
on the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, which made
the doctrine of the Church of England, according
to his interpretation, hardly distinguishable from the
Romish doctrine of Transubstantiation. All the
world knows, too, that Dr. Pusey was the colleague of
the Rev. Mr. Newman and the Rev. Mr. Ward, writers in
the Tracts for the Times, both of whom, with &eve; al
others of the school, have since openly left the Church
of England and joined the Church of Rome. To Evan-
gelical Dissenters of every class the doctrines held by
Dr. Pusey, and propagated by him with ardent zeal, ap-
pear to contain all the essential qualities of Popery, and
to make a very near approach to an acknowledgment of
the Roman Church as the true and infallible church.
The real closeness of the connexion between Dr. Puse3's
Anglo-Catholicism and absolute Roman Catholicism, ism
evident from thn fact, that so many of the ablest cham-
pions of the former system have found themselves com-
pelled by their own principles to go all the way to Remo.
Several of the Evangelical clergymen in this town are
so scandalized by the bringing of Dr. Pusey, and by the
outrage which they conceive to be committed on the
Protestant feelings of the country, that they have de-
clined to attend the Bishop at the consecration of a ne w
church. Of course Dr. Book is not one of this number.
We perceive from the official announcement of the
services at the consecration, that a series of services is
to be kept up for seven days, on every onqof which (ex-
cept Sunday, Nov. 2) they are as follows :—" At 7 A.M.,
Prayers ;at half-past 10 A.M., Holy Communion and
Sermon ;at 3 P.M., Prayers ; and at half-past 7 P.M ,
Prayers and Sermon."
It' the above chrueh had been one avowedly Romsn
Catholic, we should not have noticed the fact, ex •
cept as a mere article of news, however much wo
might lament the spread of those doctrines. But
believing, as we do, that Puseyism is Popery in
disguise and treason to Protestantism, we feel not only
solemn regret, but that indignation which disguise
and treason naturally provoke. We regard this new
Church in the light in which we believe ail Evangelical
persons in and out of the Establishment look upon it,
namely, as an edifice from which substantial Popery is
to be diffused by public and private efforts, in the struc.
ture itself, and from house to house, through the town
and the country.—Leeds Huang/.
