LONDON AND CROYDON RAIL-

WAY.-(THIS.DAY.)

A special general meeting of the Shareholders in this
Railway, was held this day at the London Tavern, Bishops-
gate-street, for the purpose of receiving from the Solicitor to
the Company a draft of a Bill about to be introduced to Par-
liament, for the purpose of extending the railway to the West-
end of London. _ _

From the prospectus submitted to the meeting, it appeared
that the object of this measure (promoted by the South Eastern
and Croydon Railway Companies), is to afford better aecommo.
dation for the merchandise, cattle, &c. , conveyed along the Croy-
don, Dover, and Brighton Railways, from the counties of Surrey,
Kent, and Sussex, and also to provide for the convenience of
the public residing at the western parts of the metropolis, tra- ,
yelling on these Railways, especially those who have with them I
their own carriages and horses. Already serious complaints
are made by passengers on the Brighton Railway, coming from
the West-end of London, of the inconvenience and loss of
time to which they are subjected by having to proceed to
and from the present station, through the crowded streets of
the City and Borough ; and it is scarcely necessary to add that
such station neither is, nor can be, adapted to the accommo-
dation of the whole of the extensive traffic in cattle, hops, and
general merchandise, from the counties of Sussex and Kent.
The present application to Parliament is, therefore, made to
provide for these important objects. It is intended to form a
roadway or approach, from the Grange-road (near the Green
Man turnpike, in the Old Kent-road), to the Croydon Railway.
near Corbetts-lane. The length of the proposed road is about
one mile ; it proceeds through an open district, interfering
with but one or two buildings, and those of a very inferior
description. The line has been carefully surveyed under the
direction of Mr. Cubitt, the engineer of the South Eastern
Railway Company.
The Solicitor to the Company having read the Bill to the
meeting, the following resolution was proposed and passed :
" That this meeting approves of the object of this Bill, and
of the same passing into a law, subject to such alterations as to
Parliament may seem meet."
The meeting then separated.

LAW INTELLIGENCE

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
Lord LANGDALE sat to-day to dispose of some few short
causes remaining on the list. None of them were suited to pub-
lication.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
Lord DEN MAN sat at Nisi Prius with a Middlesex Common
Jury, and disposed of several undefended causes in the early
part of the morning. No case of any public interest had been
called on up to the time of our going to press.

EX CHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

CORLETT V. LEWES.

This was an action for the recovery of a sum of 2001., the
amount of a bill endorsed by the defendant, who was a clergy-
man in Wales. The plaintiff was the representative of the
North and South Wales Bank, by which the money had
been advanced. The defendant was but one of se-
veral endorsers ; and it was stated that he had merely
signed the bill for the accommodation of a friend, and
that he had received no portion of the money. It was attempted
to be shown for the defence, that due notice had not been
given of dishonour, and next, that an arrangement had taken
place between the parties, by which it was agreed that the
Bank should stay any further proceedings in the case. The
first objection was overruled ; and upon the second paint it ap-
peared that the only compromise agreed to on the part of the
Bank was, that they should allow the defendant a certain time
to pay the amount of the bill. That time bad, howover, since
expired.
The jury immediately found a verdict fo the plaintiff.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

WALTER V. BUTEMAN AND OTHERS.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff for the purpose
of establishing the validity of a patent he had taken out for a
carding machine for wool. The case had not concluded when
we went to press, and there is every probability of its lasting
two or three days.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURi'._

George Porter, 26, labourer, and William Garwood, 40,
labourer, were indicted for stealing on the Ist of April, 651 b.
weight of hay, and other articles, consisting- of sacks, the pro-
perty of Joseph Samuel Lesher, and others.
The prosecutor is the landlord of the Rising Sun public-
house in Eastham. The prisoner Garwood was his ostler,
and the other prisoner was a carter. On the slay in question
the prisoner Porter was at the Rising Sun with his cart. He
was observed by a policeman to place a quantity of hay in his
cart, and the two prisoners left the premises together.
The evidence was deemed not suffic►ently conclusive ag:;inst
the prisoner Garwood, and the jury, therefore, acquitted him,
but they found the other prisoner guilty. He was sentenced
to six months' imirrisonmer.t.
The•other cases t0...1ay were of trifling importance.

ANEW DISCOVERY in TEETH—Mr
HOWARD. Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet• street, has in-
introduced AN ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIPTION of
ARFIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or H-
gatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth, as not
to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer;
they will NEVER CHANGE COLOUR OR DECAY, and
will ba found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any
painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that
are loose, and are guaranteed to restore articulation and
mastication ; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be
within reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges
at the lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound
and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At home from
Ten till Five.

NEW YORK MARKETS, APRIL 19, 1842.
AsHEs.—Since our last about 60 barrels of pots have
been sold at 6 dol. a 6 37k- dol., and 30 of pearls at
5 60 dol.

COTTON.—The news per the Great Western has had
the tendency to make the market quiet, buyers claiming
to have a deduction, while sellers are only willing to
operate at previous rates.
FLOUR.—The weather has been unfavourable yester-
day and to-day for the operations in the Flour Market,
and we have heard of no transactions. We quote Canal
at 6 37i dol.
(From Bicknell's Philadelphia Reporter of April 19.)
THE MONEY MARKET.—We notice with pleasure an
improvement in our Money Market. The rates, although
still high, are assuredly lower than they were a fortnight
ago, while the prospect for the future is more en -
couraging. The periods for the largest payments of the
spring have gone by, with much less difficulty than was
at first apprehended. The failures have been few and
far between, the resumption of specie payments has
been fully successful, and our banks have more specie
and specie funds on hand at the present time, than they
had the day the resumption was attempted. The banks
are discounting, but with no alteration, and in few in-
stances, beyond their daily receipts.
None of the suspended banks have yet re-opened. We
hear, however, that the Mechanics' and the Mopamensing
are both making vigorous efforts to such an end. We
trust that they may prove successful, but are not suffi-
ciently acquainted with their assets and liabilities to au-
thorise the expression of a confident opinion.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA BILL.

On the motion for the third reading of this Bill,
Mr. HUME said that the management of the Bill was
most extraordinary ; it would actually be a sacrifice of
240,0001. of public money, and it had passed through
none of its stages till after one o'clock in the morning.
One clause gaye away altogether 59,000 i. It tppeared
to him altogether a most monstrous proceeding. . He was
astonished that the Government could sanction so great
a waste of pablic money. The Hon. Member then pro-
posed that the Bill be read s third time that day three
months.

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious metals called Nickel and German Silver
supplanted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
ALBATA PLATE. C. WATSON (late ALDERMAN)
41 and 42, Barbican, aided by a person of science in the amal-
gation of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the
most beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich-
ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardness
—with its perfect sweetness in use--undergoing, as it does, a
chemical process, by which all that is nauseous in mizedmetals is
entirely extracted—resist: ng all acids, may be cleaned as Silver,
and is manufactured into every article for the Table and Side-
board.

C. Watson begs the Public will understand that this metal
is peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from
Gold, than his metal is from all others ; the Public will there-
fore have no difficulty in discovering the animus which directs
the virulent attacks snide against him, by a party who is daliy
suffering from the unparalleled success which has marked the
progress of xis New Plate since its introduction. C. W.,
unlike this party, courts comparison, feeling confident that the
result will establish its pre-eminence.

CEMENT

TO ARCHITECTS, BUILDERS, rind Others.
The PATENT STUCCO PAINT CEMENT. Its
extraordinary qualities are rapidly becoming well known and
appreciated. It will adhere to any substance or surface—no
Wet or Damp or Frost can have any effect on it—Time
hardens and improves it—a House covered with it becomes
encased in stone. The cost is trifling—the intention is a
fortune to Builders, and to all who are interested in House
Property, old or new.

LIFE ASSURANCES.

The additions made to the life policies granted by this Cor-
poration for the last seven years 'vary from 41 to 65 per cent. on
the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent„ or two per cent.
per annum on the sums assured—a result, it is believed, more
favourable than any other Company (mutual or proprietary )
has hitherto accomplished, when the low rates of premium
charged by this Company are taken into consideration.
The next division of life profits will take place in December,
1846, being an interval of five years, and persons entering be-
fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional
rating, and rank at next division of profits for fire complete
years.

To facilitate lean transactions a reduced scale of rates with-
out profit has been adopted. The rates and other particulars
may be ascertained at the above offices, or at any of the Com-
pany's Branch Establishments throughout the kingdom.
