THE 817 N, LONDON, THITRSD A I EVENING, AUGUST 21, MIS.

with which I last addressed you that I now write to say that,
however strange it may appear to you. till after I received your
letter on Saturday, I did not for a long period look into my.
affairs, and that to my horror, on going over them with My
professional friend, I find that, instead of the income which I
was led to think I had, and which I led others also to think I
had, that from various circumstances my income had dimi-
nished down to 2401. a year, and my place, the heavy city
taxes on which amount to more than the rent of a moderate
house. This discovery at once altered my views as to the wis-
dom or propriety of drawing one whom I loved into the diffi-
culties which would certainly follow my marriage.
"I am free to confess myself most blameable and most un-
wise in not having investigated those things previously, but it
has been unfortunately too much my way through life. I had,
beginning the world, at my father's death, 22,000/. ; this, from
the circumstance of being in cash, and at nay disposal, dwindled
away to 15,000/. at my marriage, twenty-one years ago, and
this again has been reduced to 6,0001., with charges of various
kinds, leaving the balance as above.
" I must also say, that though not expecting that your
daughter had much, yet I did expect that there was some-
thing, and that from an observation of Mrs. Westropp's call •
ing her her child, and hearing that she had done handsomely
for her sister, I did think that there were expectations there
that might give us a lift ; but now, finding matters on both
sides so different from what I expected, I will put it to you,
as a man of the world, ought I to persevere in what would
naturally bring only poverty, and all its accompanying sorrows,
upon us ?
" She, as well as myself, have bsen accustomed to comforts
and station, both which must inevitably yield before the wants
of a family. I do, Sir, most deeply feel the awkward position
lam placed in. I sent my friend yesterday to Benjamin
Beamish, who felt warmly, and naturally so, on the subject.
1 met him afterwards, and again this morning, when, after a
very long interview, I promised to write this to you ; as he
said, were he her parent, be would act very differently, but
as he stood, he said he felt not entitled to agree to break off,
after your approbation having been given. He 'urged me
strongly on my honour; and while it grieves me sorely to have
any person able to lay anything to my charge on that point, I
also feel that 1 must look a little a-head, even late as it may
be, and that it would be more dishonourable in me to be forced
to undeceive her afterwards, than now to say that the pressing
state of my affairs renders marriage at present a most absurd
thing for me to think ef. I may be reproached, and deserve
it, for wounding the feelings of one who had gained so much
on my affections, but I am suffering myself that which my
folly deserves.
" I remain, my dear Sir, yours very truly,
" GEORGE NEWENHAM.

" To Thomas Little, Esq., Sligo."
Now, gentlemen of the jury, let me ask you, can anything
excuse or justify such a letter as that, almost immediately alter
he was accepted—after he had exhibited her to the public as
his intended wife—after all this, he writes this letter with such
flimsy excuses to afford him the means of violating his contract
But there was enclosed in this document further matter, which
was headed " postscript," and marked " private." Dr. Little
would not now produce this—nor would it ever have been seep
by other eyes, though, in point of fact, it was not private, and
ought not to have been, from what occurred ; still Dr. Little
would not have exposed it, hut that in point of fact it was not
private, for it was communicated to gentlemen who will be pro-
duced to you. Here it is—

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Two ladies entered the Court and asked Mr. Maltby, the
sitting magistrate, lkir advice in the following affair
The eldest of the two ladies said her companion was the
daughter of a tradesman, a foreigner, in Beak-street, Golden-
square. Her sister, a child about fourteen years of age,
had been taken away from her home by a gentleman who
had been on intimate terms with the family. The father had
discovered that the girl was a consenting party, and that
she had been taken to Liverpool, where she now was. The
person who had taken her from home had just embarked for
America, leaving the girl behind, and though the girl had
been applied to by friends to return home, she had refused to
do so. The father now wished to know whether he could not
obtain some legal authority to get his erring child back again
to her home.

Mr. MALTBY said, as the girl was at Liverpool, he had no
means of rendering the required assistance.
The lady said the father wished to know whether he had
not legal authority to compel his daughter, who was of such
tender age, to return to his protection. In case she persisted
in her refusal to return home, would he be justified in using
force ?

Mr. 111ALTBY said, the best course for the father to take
would be to proceed at once to Liverpool, and if he could not
persuade his (laughter to return with him, to apply to the
police authorities there, who would no doubt render him all
the assistance in their power.
The applicants thanked the magistrate, and retired.

Yesterday Martha Carter, apparently not more than 2()
years of age, was brought up in custody, and placed'At the
bar, before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Rawlinson, to answer
the following charges, preferred against her by her master, Mr.
N. B. Edmonstone, of 31, Sussex-gardens, Hyde-park.
Mr. Eldon attended for the prosecution.
Mr. Edmonstone stated, that the prisoner was cock in his
establishment for upwards of two years, and that she was in the
habit of paying his tradesmen's weekly bills. On the 7th of
May last, he gave her 131. 9s. 3d., in order that she might
settle various accounts, and, on Wednesday last, he ascertained
that several persons, whom he imagined had been paid, had
not received their money. He called the prisoner up into his
drawing.room, and on telling her that she had not paid the
sums as directed by him, she acknowledged the offence.
Mr. Thomas Green, butcher, 3, Little Sussex-place, Hyde-
pa.rk-gardens ; Mr. Benning, butterman, 82, Great Portland-
street ; Mr. Hembrey, milkman, 8, Davenport-mews, Pad-
dington; and Thomas Sadler, from the firm of De Castro and
Co., Piccadilly, appeared to g►ve evidence, and it was shown
that in many cases the prisoner had signed the names of some
of the said tradespeople to their books, and had thus for some
time deceived her master, who imagined that the weekly bills
were regularly settled.
Sergeant Walker, 5 D, said, that he took the prisoner into
custody, and on searching her boxes found therein two sheets
belonging to her master. On the way to the station-house,
the prisoner said she could not think what she had done with
ihe money which her master had given her, and asked witness
if he thought she should be transported.
_ _

The priioner, who had nothing to say in her defence, was
fully committed for trial.

Prosecutor said that he had been robbed by the prisoner to
a much greater amount than he had already stated.
CLERKENWELL.

John Roberts and James M' earthy were charged with cut-
ting and wounding Mr. Edmund C. Ward, a gentleman resid-
ing in Wilton-street, and police-constable 160 E ; also with a
violent assault upon Bridger, beadle of St. Giles's, and with
assaulting police-constable 49 E, and threatening to murder
him.

The prisoners are remarkably powerful men ; they have been
repeatedly convicted at this court, and were, when old St.
Giles and its " rookery" were in existence, the terror of that
neighbourhood.
It appeared from the evidence, that at three o'clock on the
previous evening these two fellows were observed standing at:the
corner of Bedford-place, Russell-square, pushing everybody
who attempted to pass along the pavement there into the street.
Bridger, the beadle, having seen them treat a gentleman in
this way, went up, but before he had time to say a word,
Nl‘Carthy knocked his hat off, Roberts then seized him by the
collar, and M'Carthy by the skirts, and they dragged him
about, knocked him down, and kicked him. Mr. Ward, who
chanced to be passing, seeing M'Carthy aim a blow at the bea-
dle, rushed between them, whereupon Roberts, letting go his
hold of Bridger, fell upon Mr. Ward with great fury ; he
knocked him down and beat him so violently about the head,
that he bled profusely from the mouth and nose, and in
court his mouth was so much swollen from the injuries
received as to render his articulation indistinct. The
prisoners, seeing assistance coming, ran away, but were
stopped by Police-constable 160 E, who manfully seized
them. This officer appeared in court with his head
and face plaistered, and he complained of great pain. He de-
posed that as soon as he arrested them they knocked him down
on the pavement, and kicked him violently on the head and
body. His head was laid open 'and Roberts kicked the con-
stable on the face with his strongly nailed shoes, and lace-
rated his nose in a shocking way. They kicked him so that
he was unable to stand, but he continued to struggle with them
until police-constable 49 E and other constables arrived. They
kicked the latter officer violently, and swore they would rip his
Vowels out. The police were at lent!th obliged to strap them
on stretchers, and so convey them to the station-house. On
their way thither they said all that could be done to them was
to be fined; that they would soon find the money, and then they
would serve out the b— beadle.

The prisoners put their hands in their pockets, and treated
the whole affair with jocular indifference.
They were fully committed for trial.

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

THE CORN TRADE.
LIVERPOOL, Atm. 19. The dull accounts from London
last week pat an extinguisher upon all life in the corn trade
here, and the few sales effected in Wheat were, rather in favour
of the buyer ; other articles remained steady in value. On
Sunday night considerable rain fell, and yesterday was showery
with a warmer temperature, being decidedly the most dangerous
day we have yet had. A great portion of the Wheat in this
district has suffered severely from wet, inclement weather, being
sadly discoloured, mildewed, and blighted, and we believe the
injury already sustained by the crops in this kingdom to be of a
more serious character than is generally supposed ; the last
two weeks the crops have made very little advance toward
ripening, consequently a September, if not an October, gather-
ing of the new grain is the prospect before us, with all the re-
tarding consequences of shortened days and lengthened nights.
The weight of the new Wheat cannot, even if hot continued
sunshine should visit us, equal last year's growth by two or
three pounds per imperial bushel. Exported to Ireland from
the 12th to the 18th inst. inclusive :-132 qrs. Indian corn. ;
Coastwise, 67 qrs. Wheat, 300 qr 3. Rye, 175 Ids. Oatmeal,
268 sks. and 120 brls. Flour. The weather is alarming, but
the lower account from London for Wheat prevented any ad-
vance here to-day ; holders, feeling certain that old Wheat
must increase in value, were more firm. For all other articles
we repeat our quotations of this day week.
Ano usx 20. —Last night was wild and wet; to-day has been
much like a cold, rough, and strong one in February. Specu-
lators and dealers also have been at work here to-day in wheat,
and trying in vain to get bonded flour at the late advanced
rates. Wheat made Id. to 3d. for 701b5., and in one instance
4d. over yesterday's terms. The prospect for the growing
wheat is gloomy in the extreme.

turday inclusively. All the accused parties appeared in court
except Mr. Drummond Baring. Emma Caye was even more
elegantly dressed than when she came before the Court of
Paris, and was the object of general curiosity, but she pertina-
ciously kept her veil down during the whole of the time, so
that her face could not be seen. The statement of the grounds
of prosenution and the evidence in support of it, and the argu-
ments of the counsel on both sides, were so nearly the same as
those which we have repeatedly stated, that it is quite unneces-
sary for us to give any further details of the circumstances of
the trial. We shall, therefore, content ourselves with announc-
ing that M. Frank Carre,, the president of the court, pro-
nounced the judgment, declaring all the parties to be guilty,
and condemning Lambert to be imprisoned fur five years,
Walker and Peyronnet fur three years, Fraser and Ogleby for
two years, and Emma Caye for one year. They were each ad-
judged to pay a fine of 50f., and made liable, jointly and
severally, to the payment of all the costs. Another appeal will
no doubt be carried up to the Court of Cassation, upon the
same grounds that produced the reversal of the former judg-
ment of the Cour Royale of Paris, which, however, had not
imposed so heavy a sentence as that now pronounced against
the prisoners Lambert, Peyronnet, Walker, Fraser, and Ba Sing,
having been condemned only to two years' imprisonment,, and
Ogleby and Emma Ca}e to one year.— Galignani.

ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN
R A ILIVA Y.—The recently-opened portion of the Northern and
Eastern Railway, on which the late appalling accident took
place, was the scene of another frightful occurrence on Tues-
day afternoon, of a somewhat similar character, and although
it was not attended with such a deplorable loss of life as the
previous one, yet several of the passengers have received serious
contusions, and the escape of human life may be truly consi-
dered miraculous. It is necessary to state, that since General
Pasley stated at the recent Coroner's inquiry, that it was
highly dangerous for trains to pass over the newly constructed
part of the road, viz., between Bishop's Stortford and Ely, at
the rate of thirty miles an hour until it was properly consoli-
dated, the Company very promptly lessened the speed ; and
which has been adhered to up the present time, making a
difference in the arrival of trains of about an hour at the
several stations. On the morning of Tuesday the usual day
mail-train left the Shoreditch terminus at half-past eleven
o'clock, and proceeded with safety to Cambridge. After
the necessary stoppage at that station the train renewed its
course, and on arriving about two miles beyond Waterbeach,
seven miles from Cambridge and the same distance this side
of Ely, the engine ran off the rail on the left side, dragging
the tender and the whole of the carriages after it. Fortu-
nately this part of the line is a perfect level ; and the en-
gine had not travelled more than thirty or forty yards over
the ballast before it completely turned over with the tender
into a drain partly full of water. The luggage-v: nby the
sudden jerk became detached, and the wheels were perfectly
imbedded, ar:d thus brought the remainder of the train to a
stand-still. The alarm that immediately ensued amongst the
passengers may be well conceived under the circumstances.
The head guard, who was in his usual seat, on the top of one
of the carriages, perceiving that the engine had run off the
line, jumped from his place on to the road. The step of his
seat was driken through the plate-glass window of a first-class
carriage, in which were seated three ladies, one of whom was
much cut by the glass. The cries of the females are described
to have been of the mast piercing character,, and it was with
some difficulty that their excited feelings could be subdued.
During the confusion a painful alarm was created for the safety
of the en ine-driver and stoker, as they were seen to be on the
engine when it capsized. To the surprise and gratification of
all, however, the poor fellows, evidently much terrified, were
seen wading through the water in the ditch unhurt. It ap-
pears that as the engine turned over they were thrown some
distance from it into the pool, and were accordingly pre
served. As soon as the affrighted passengers were removed
from the carriages, messengers were dispatched to Ely and
Waterbeach for the aid of pilot engines in order to replace the
train. In the meanwhile most of the passengers posted on to
Ely, and on the guard making a strict examination as to what
was likely to have caused the accident, they found about three
inches of metal cut off one of the outer rails at a joint, and on
searching about found the piece, which they took charge of
and brought it up to town yesterday, and delivered it into the
hands of Mr. Dowling, the superintendent of the line, in order
to assist the official inquiry which will be instituted relative to
the occurrence. On the arrival of the pilot engines, and a
number of assistants, active measures were adopted to raise
and place the carriages on the line, which, in the Aurae of a few
hours, was accomplished, and at four o'clock the train resumed
its journey to Norwich. To remove the engine and tender
from the ditch by the means then available was perfectly im-
possible, and they were accordingly left. They were both
embedded to a considerable extent in the ballast. It is said
they will remain in the same state until inspected by Major-
General Pasley. The guard of the train says that the speed of
the train at the time of the accident was from about twenty to
twenty-five miles an hour. The carriages were shattered by
the shock, but not to any extent, as they were capable of re-
suming their place in the train. The official report of the
affair states that no passengers were hurt, but on making fur-
ther inquiries we were informed that there were some, though
not materially. It is worthy of remark that the Company's
servants afforded every facility to collect the correct particulars
of the unfortunate event, and evinced not the least desire to
"hush it up."
The Cambridge Advertiser says, in reference to the above
accident :—" Most fortunately there were but ten passengers,
and we are able to state, notwithstanding the difficulty we have
had in obtaining authentic information, that no one was se-
riously injured, except one passenger, who received some severe
injuries in the face, although the shock was tremendous, and
for the moment every one was convulsed with horror and dis-
may. After two or three hours' delay everything was ad-
justed, and the train proceeded onits way, but it is impossible
to describe the mingled sensations of apprehension and horror
which this unfortunate accident has occasioned. It is not, of
course, oil: business to regulate the railway, but something
must be done, and that immediately, to insure the safety of
the public. Better, far better, will it be to return to our old
stage coaches, which, after all, were the glory and admiration
of our town and neighbourhood, till the safety of the railway
is completely and assuredly ascertained, than to have the lives
and limbs of those who are nearest and dearest to us continually
in peril."
ACCIDENTS ON THE NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY.--
An accident occurred last Sunday, at the Derby station, to
the mail train from Leeds, which, though fortunately not
attended with fatal results, was productive of serious injury and
alarm to the passengers. The train had reached the ticket plat-
form in safety, when the highly-reprehensible practice of de=
taching the engine from the front, and placing it at the back of
the train, to propel it into the station, was adopted. The
engine not having been stopped in time, or the break not
applied, the train was forced into the station-house with great
violence, smashing the first carriage and throwing it up on the
platform, and breaking the strong iron and wood balustrades
that are placed there to keep off the passengers. All the pas-
sengers were thrown from their seats by the violence of the
shock. Fortunately no bones were broken, but many persons
received severe cats and contusions—heads and faces were dread-
fully disfigured, and one lady was sadly shaken by the concus-
sion. Several minutes elapsed before any attention was paid
to the injured individuals, who were at length taken to the
infirmary, where their wounds and bruises were dressed, after
which they were enabled to proceed by the next train. In
this accident not the slightest palliative presents itself for the
recklessness of the railway people. The practice of placing
an engine behind the train has been so repeatedly condemned
by public opinion, that it seems an act of wanton trifling with
the lives and limbs of the passengers to resort to such a dan-
gerous mode of propulsion. We trust that a good inquiry will
be made into the affair, and that the culpable parties may be
dismissed from the company's service.
EXPLOSION OF A LOCOMOTIVE BOILER.—As the half-past
eight parliamentary train, or that which carries passengers at
Id. a mile, was standing at the Walton station on the South-
western Railway on its down journey yesterday, the engine
being then taking in water, and the engine-man beneath ex-
amining his engine, as is customary during a stoppage, a sud-
den explosion took place, and the steam rushed out at the fire
door in a direction so that the engine-man was severely scalded.
The fireman escaped unhurt. The only other person who
sustained injury was not a passenger, but a bystander. He was
struck on the back of his head by a piece of coke, but with no
great force.
ACCIDENT AT THE BRICKLAYER'S ARMS STATION OF
THE DOVER RAlLWAY.—Yesterday afternoon, about half-
past four o'clock, an accident occurred at the Bricklayers'
Arms station of the Dover Railway, by which a man named
Richard Smith, aged thirty years, sustained a severe injury.
He was engaged in removing one of the iron tables, a machinery
used for shifting carriages from one part of the line to another,
and whilst so employed his left hand became jammed between
the chains by which such movement is effected. From ap-
pearances it was feared that the whole of his fingers were cut
off, but on being conveyed to Guy's Hospital, it was ascer-
tained that the thumb and middle finger had been injured, but
from the nature of the injuries Mr. Forster, the house surgeon,
deemed it necessary to.remove a portion of the bone of each
member. The poor fellow suffered excruciating torments.
He is, however, doing well.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LANCASTER AND CARLISLE
RAILWAY.—An inquest was held on Tuesday last the 19th
inst., before R. Wilson, Esq., Coroner, at Borrowbridge, near
Boston, on the body of a man named Todd, who met his death
while working on that line of railway, at a viaduct near the
above place. It appeared from the evidence that there is
attached to the works a small stage, beneath which there are
conducting rods for the purpose of moving it to different parts
ss the operations require. On this stage is placed a small
crane, used for drawing up stones for the erection of the via-
duct. By some cause or other, not ascertained, these rods
broke, and the stage, being weakened, gave way with the crane,
from which was suspended by a rope a great block of stone.
There were two men on the stage, who were precipitated to
the ground, and there were three others below. The five
men were also very seriously injured. Todd (the deceased)
had his arm very dreadfully lacerated, his left thigh fractured,
and a compound dislocation of the ancle joint. He died, after
the most extreme suffering, on Monday morning last. Another
man, name Brown, had sustained a compound fracture of the
leg, the muscles and integuments being dreadfully torn, and
amputation above the knee was found to be immediately neces-
sary. , The other men are more or less severely injured.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.
The Lords of the Admiralty dined yesterday on board
their yacht, the Black Eagle, the establishment of Sir C.
Rowley, the Port Admiral, having been despatched to
Brighton in the Mercury tender to prepare for the gal-
lant admiral's arrival there.
The following notice was exhibited at the Royal Naval
College in the dockyard, and at the George Hotel, Ports-
mouth, last evening :
" The Earl of Haddington will see officers at the Naval
College at a quarter before ten o'clock to• morrow morn-
ing. _ _

Officers who have had an interview with his Lord-
ship since August, 1844, cannot be received at this
levee.
" The list for names is at the college.
" Admiralty-house, Monday, August 18."
We are sorry to announce, however, that last evening
the noble earl was afflicted with an attack of his old com-
plaint (palpitation of the heart), which has confined him
to the yacht the whole of thls day. The levee is conse-
quently postponed.
The following officers enterod their names for presen-
tation :
