FREIGHTS.

Freights have risen since our last, ansl may now be quoted
at 31. 10s. to London, and 31. 7s. 6d. to Liverpool. To China
the rate is rs. 15 to 16 per candy. Tenders were a few days
since invited for the convayance to England of her Majesty's
13th Regiment, but the exigencies of the public service ren-
dering it necessary that the corps should remain for the pre-
sent in India, the vessels which had tendered were left to seek
other employment. This caused freights, which had mean-
while advanced, to decline again to a trifling extent.
MONEY MARKET.
There is no change whatever to notice in the prices of the
different Government securities, which may still be quoted
as under :

the present rates being, for six months' bills, at Is. 9id. to

THE YARMOUTH MURDER.
We learn from the Norwich Mercury that the prisoners
charged with this atrocious offence were re-examined on
Thursday last, but the public and the reporters were
excluded.

The Mercury says :—lt was expected at this examina•
hen that the prisoners would be fully committed to stair
their trial at the Spring Assize, in which case they will
be immediately delivered into the charge of the Count}'
Sheriff.

The magistrates who attended the examination were
the Mayor, S. C. Marsh, G. D. Palmer, W. D. Palmer,
J. F. Costerton, W. Yetts, A. Palmer, J. C. Smith, J.
Clark, and E. H. L. Preston, Esqs.
The witnesses examined were police-constables Job?'
son and Waller, Sergeant Willarnent, Mr. H. Worship,
surgeon, and a man named Sayer.
Of the prisoners examined, Mrs. Yarham, wife of the
male prisoner, was discharged, and no evidence appear)
to have been received up to a late hour last evening tcl
warrant the committal of such of the prisoners as bad
been examined. Yarharn has not yet been brought up.
The exclusion of the reporters appears to have greatif
surprised some of the magistrates, and we are no leg)
surprised, because we know that at some of the examina'
tions Mr. Samuel Palmer, who ceased to be a magistrate
on the 9th of November fast, and therefore was but one
of the public, was permitted to be present.

WEST YORKSHIRE.

We are authorised to contradict a rumour that George
Hudson, Esq., has " backed out" of tho West Yorkshire
Railway. Mr. Hudson stands in precisely the same po-
sition at the present time towards this Company as when,
as Chairman of the Leeds and Bradford Board of Di-
rectors, the guarantee of four per cent. from that Com-
pany was given t', the West Yorkshire. And we can
further assure the Shareholders in this undertaking, that
on the meeting of Parliament the invaluable aid of Mr.
Hudson will be rendered to obtain the Bill.—Bradford

London, England, 1845-01-04

the fear of the Affghans on the one side, and the Eng-
lish on the other, the Seikh chiefs, wearied NI ith nearly
two years of almost incessant bloodshed and intestine
quarrel, may feel desirous of endeavouring to preserve
the peace. Sir Henry Hardinge exhibits no disposition
to attack any of our neighbours without provocation—
or to conquer new countries without justification. Our
home contemporaries, who boast of the pre-eminent ex-
cellency of their information, and the vast value of their
vaticinations, and who, ever since the reserve army as-
sembled in Sirhind, have been assuring us that in a few
months more the flag of England would wave on the
citadel of the Seikh capital—will find that they have still
to bide their time. Let them not despair : if they pro-
phecy long enough they are sure to be right at last.
The Punjaub will some time or other be ours if we find
it worth taking, or are furnished with a Governor• Gen-
eral sufficiently warlike to overlook in the love of Con-
quering the price or justice of a conquest.

AFFGHANISTAN.
News from Affghanistan continues confused and un-
certain. It seems evident that Dost Ilahommed is
perfectly able to collect the revenues, and maintain the
government in peace—a state of matters which never
obtained for a single month while the Shah Soojah had
five thousand British troops to help him on. The Ameer
seems to have adopted " the silent system," which was
so anxiously and so ineffectually st iven after by a late
ruler in India. There had been some fighting in Kohis-
tan, in which Akram Khan had been successful. The
Candahar Sirdars are still, it is said, apprehensive of
the presence of our armies in Sinde--not apparently
aware that our occupation of their country was more
injurious to us than to them. The history of the period
f►om 1839 to 1842 must have become forgotten by the
time a British army seeks again to ascend the Bolan or
the Khyber Pass. Nothing had been heard at Caubul
from Dr. Wolff, though it was known that he had long
since left Bokhara. It seems generally believed that
there is some sort .of communication in progress be-
tween our Government and the Caubul Sirdar, and that
should any misunderstanding occur with the Seikhs,
such as to lead to our advance on the Punjaub, Dost
Mahommed would gladly lend us his aid on the side of
Peshawur.

TOWN.

It may be well to observe that the Residence to be let has just
arrived at its completion ; it has been created at an immense ex.
pence under the guidance of Mr. Beasley, the celebrated Architect,
and completed by Mr. Reynolds, who has justly acquired so much
fame and celebrity in kis erection of the Kensington Park Villas at
Bayswater; it is titted up in the most perfect order throughout, and
for tact and elegance the ensemble claims to have no successful rival
in' Brighton. There is a double Coachhouse, 4-stall Stable, and four
convenient rooms for the male portion of the establishment over
the same. The Rent for 14 or 21 years, 250 guineas a year It
is fitted through, ut with elegant massive Statuary and other
marble Chimney-pieces and corresponding stoves In every roots,
with a kitchen apparatus most perfect.
The following is a short summary of what will be conspicuous
within :—Thero are 4 superior Bed chambers, 5 smaller ditto,
and 3 Dressing-rooms ; 2 noble Drawing-rooms, with elegant
Conservatory, Balcony and Verandah, 2 excellent Dining Par.

ment is faultless—it includes Housekeeper's Room with bed.room

NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE.

Considerable alarm was felt on Saturday last by a
report reaching the town that the short tunnel on the
Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, near Corbridge,
had that morning fallen in. On the managing com-
mittee repairing to the place, they found that a
small portion had given way, which, although it will
for a few days cause a lice delay in the arrival
of the trains, was aot attended with any accident. The
promptest measures were immediately to be taken, by,
placing omnibuses and carts, so as to render the incon-
venience as trifling as possible ; and it is expected that
within less than a week the passage will be opened, and
the traffic, which will be in the meantime fully provided
for, be resumed in the ordinary way. The public
are aware that, for the safety of the passen-
gers and in consequence of the great increase of
traffic, the Directors are having the whele line of rail-
way doubled, which has been done with the excep-
tion of this tunnel, now in the hands of the contractor.
The enlarging of the tunnel is a work requiring consi-
derable skill, a drift above it being to be driven, by
which the wider arch is made before the older one is re-
moved. In shifting some of the machinery by the con-
tractor's men, a hole was unluckily made through the
present roof before the new one was finished, which let
down some of the superincumbent earth and stopped the
passage.— Tyne Mercury.

VRT OF SEWERS.
The Court of Sewers for estrnmster and part of
Middlesex-met yesterday,, in their office, Greek-street,
Soho-square, Thomas Leveriou. popakisqn, Esq., in
the chair.

The only business.of any interest was the nomina-
tion of a chairman in the room of Mr. Donaldson, whd
retiree.

Mr. Broirowrow, the- magistrate, had great plea-
'propOSing Edward Willoughby, Esq., as' a
-gentleman every way qualified to succeed their present
chairman.- His experience of the business: of the
Cbmmission extended over a period of ten years ; his
eminent legal qualifications' well fitted him for the'
office';; and, being of independent property, be Would
be the better enabled to devoie ihe time necessary for-
the efficient discharge of its, duties:: ,Whilst his busi-
ness habits were of a first-rate order, his courtesy
could not be-eiceeded ; and the general esteem of the
members of that Court Was abundant evidence that
their proceedings would, Ander his control, be, marked
by xegularity and good order. .
C4gruiußsouv, R.N., had great pleasure in second-
ing the nomination of Mr. Willoughby. He (Captain
Bague) knew all the members of this Commission,
and hd not think another could ,be found so well
qualified' as that gentleman.
The CHAIRMAN, while thanking the Court for the
forbearance exhibited on many occasions towirds him-
self, bore witness to the many estimable virtues
which 'Rade:Mr. Willoughby esteemed wherever. he
was known.

A few Hon. Commissioners joined in the-conger.
sation. There was no other candidate, and the elec,
tion was appointed (in terms of the 17th bye-law:
for a future Court day.
The Court then adjourned.

NORTHUMBERLAND.

The railway by Alnwick being now found practicable,
by actual survey, Messrs. Gandell and Brunton, the
eminent engineers, are preparing sections and plans
to lay before the Board of Trade, with the memo-
rial of the inhabitants and others interested. The
committee appointed at the meeting held in the
Town-Hall, Alnwick, on the 4th of November last,
having persevered and overcome every difficulty so
far, notwithstanding the great opposition they have met
with, there is no doubt but when the plans are finished
and presented with the memorial, they will show the ad-
vantage of the line, not only as commanding a greater
amount of traffic, accommodating to a much greater extent
the inhabitants of the middle parts of Northumberland,
but also saying a distance of two miles on the main mail
line, and at a little expense.—Tyne Mercury.
RAILWAY INDICATOR.--There has just been published
in Paris an account of an instrument for indicating the
speed of trains, and registering any undue excess ; this,
it is expected, will act as a wholesome monitor to engine
drivers, and lessen the risk of railway travelling, by ren-
dering it impossible to escape detection,where a dangerous
velocity has been attained. This contrivance consists in a
' governor, such as is commonly used in steam-engines, and
set in motion by the customary gearing from one of the
axles of the locomotive. To the vertical sliding portion
of the governor an index is attached, which passes along
a graduated vertical scale, and, by the height to which
it reaches, shows the degree of speed attained ; any
excess of speed produces a further elevation, and brings
into play a second index, which is unconnected wi.h the
first, and which, on the fall of the governor, remains
at its maximum height—a standing testimony against
the negligence and recklessness of the engineer.
As a further precaution, it is arranged that one
of the balls of the Governor carries a hammer, which
strikes a hell, and loudly calls for the attention of the
driver. To prevent tampering with the indications of
the instrument, the second or tell-tale index is locked
up, and the key remains in the possession of some supe-
rior officer, who alone, at the termination of a journey,

COAL-PIT EXPLOSION.—On Friday morning last an
explosion of fire-damp took place at Vobster Marsh
Colliery, in the parish of Mells, by which one man was
killed, and five others very much burned; but it is hoped
that these may all be restored. It is uncertain how the
accident occurred, but it is supposed that one of the
safety lamps was not properly secured.— Wiltshire In-

TO CAPITALISTS, COLLIERS, AND IRON MASTERS.
3,11-R. F. GLOVER will SELL by AUCTION,
on WEDNESDAY, the Bth day of January, 1845, at the
Mackworth Arms Inn, Swansea, at One o'clock precisely,
That valuable MINERAL PROPERTY, known as the Gwaun
Cae Gurwen Anthracite Colliery, situate at Gwaun Cae Gurwen,
in the parish of Langwicke, county of Glamorgan, extending
under 717 acres, and held for an unexpired term of 91 years, at
the very low royalty of 7d. per 1 ton 2i cwt. mineral. The col-
liery has been established at a very great outlay,and the main shaft
sunk to a depth of 90 fathoms, intersecting various seams of coal
and winning the big or Milford vein five feet three inches thick,
which is now working of the most pure and best anthracite in the
mineral basin of South Wales. The works are connected by rail.
way with the well known shipping port of Llanelly, distant 18
miles, at which place the produce of the colliery is delivered at
the low rate of led. per ton per mile, inclusive of locomotives,
waggons, &c. They are also distant from the flourishing port of
Swansea 14 miles, and of which distance the Swansea Canal ex-
tends eight miles, and a branch railway has been commenced from
the colliery at a cost of about 4.0001., which from various facilities
may be completed at a moderate outlay, and a junction made with
the Swansea Canal, only distant six miles, which on completion will
connect the colliery with the best shipping ports in Glamorganshire
and Carmarthenshire. The iron ore is of the very best quality
and in abundance. and the taking offers ens of the most eligible
sites for the erection of iron works and for the purposes of smelting
and manufacturing iron in the kingdom, there being plenty oflime.
stone in the vicinity. The machinery and plant are nearly new, of
the beet construction, and in excellent order.

HOOD'S MAGAZINE.

The " Tales of the Colonies," and " The Chronicles
of the Fleet," are continued in the present number.
" Symbolic Money, No. X 11.," treats of the currency in
connexion with the railways. The writer proposes that
every railway director should be authorised to issue
what he calls " Railway Exchequer-bills," based upon
the security of the railway property, such bills to be
tak ti by the railway company in payment of calls, de-
posits, fares, and every other payment made to them :
" And with respect to the mode of carrying out this plan,
although it is not necessary to go into all the details of a
system the working of which will be obvious to those ac-
customed to consider such matters, .it may briefly be sug-
gested that a railway sornpany has it in its power to divide
the amount of its shares into as many receipts as it may con-
sider serviceable for its views :—that is to say, a share of one
hundred pounds may be divided into a hundred receipts, or
into a larger number, which would possibly be desirable.
These receipts, by a system of mutual agreement between all
the projected railway companies, to which those finished
might, advantageously to themselves, be added, would be
receivable, those of each company by all the rest, to an
amount to be fixed by common consent, and exchangeable at
a central bank in London or elsewhere, which would exer.
cise functions analagous to those in operation at the bankers'
clearing-house in Lombard-street."
Such is the ingi.mious plan by which it is proposed to
make the new railways pay for their own construction,
without disturbing the currency of the country. The re-
maining articles of the Magazine are of avi rage quality.

GEORGE CRUHCSBANK'S TABLE-BOOK
No. XII.

This number brings the Table-Book to a conclusion,
and, when bound up, it will form the most mirthful of the
comic annuals. We were rejoiced to read the an-
nouncement, at the conclusion of the work, that such had
been the success of the Table-Book, that on the Ist of
January -Air. G. Cruikshank would commence a new
work, to be called Our Own Times.

SPURTING REVIEW.

The illustrations to the Sporting Review are an en-
graving by Hacker, from Batemae's beautiful picture,
" Gone to Ground," which was exhibited in May last at
the Royal Academy's exhibition, and " Freshwater
Fare," a picture of some splendid perch, painted by
Niemann, and engraved by J. Wesley. One of the most
remarkable among the papers in this number, is that
entitled " A few Observations on the Arguments of the
Game•law Repealers;" which the author, while pro-
fessing to answer the arguments of the repealers, takes
no notice whatever of the grand argument on which the
others all rest, but taking it for granted that game is
property, argues that it ought to be protected by law in
the same manner as all other property. Now, this is a
mere begging the question. The contention on the part
of the repealers is, that game is not, properly speaking,
property ; and we should certainly be glad to learn why
hares, pheasants, and partridges, should be considered
as property, when thrushes, blackbirds, and sparrows
are not.
