EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT,

--- -
MANCHESTER, MONDAY.—This morning a young
man, named Evan Prince, whose connexions are
highly respectable, was brought up at the Bofeugh
Court, before Daniel Maude, Esq., the stipendiary
magistrate, charged with having embezzled the large
sum of 3,5001. from his employer, Mr. Daniel Per-
cival, woollen draper, of King-street, in this town.
No suspicion had attached to the prisoner until
lately, and then it originated not with his employer,
but in another quarter; and Mr. Beswick, the chief
superintendent of police, made a communication to
Mr. Percival before Christmas. No steps were taken
to apprehend the prisoner until Friday last, when
Mr. Beswick sent Mrs. Chell, the wife of the keeper
of the Town-hall, with 21. 12s. 6d. in marked money
to Mr. Percival's shop, with instructions to purchase
some cloth from the prisoner. Mrs. Chell did as she
was directed, andlook the cloth to Mr. Beswick, who
then sent Mrs. Chell's daughter with marked gold
and silver, to the amount of three guineas, to pur-
chase a further quantity of cloth. She bought six
yards of cloth, and gave the prisoner the money,
and had just left the shop when Mr. Beswick entered;
and the prisoner, knowing him, said " Can I serve
you with anything ?" Mr. Beswick told him that he
wished to speak to him in private, and went with him
into the counting-house, where Mr. Percival was
waiting. Mr. Beswick then told him that he was
suspected of robbing his employer, and he must be
searched. In his pockets were found 71. in gold, and
1/. in silver. Two of the sovereigns were identified
by Mr. Beswick as part of the money which he bad
given to Mrs. Chell and her daughter. The prisoner
was then taken into custody, and Mr. Beswick pro-
ceeded to his lodgings, and in his bed-room found gold
and silver to the amount of 1501. This discovery was
mentioned to the prisoner, who admitted that he had
robbed his employer to a serious amount, alleging
that he was ill, and as it was not likely that he would
be able long to follow his business, he had re-
solved to make a provision for himself. Mr. Bes-
wick then told him that he had reason to suppose
that he had a considerable sum of money
at Chester and in Wales. The prisoner ad-
mitted the fact, and said that his banking-book was
at his father's house at Mold, and that it would be
found in a hat-box under his sister's bed. Mr. Bes-
wick, accompanied by Mr. :Percival, at once pro-
ceeded to Mold, and apprised the prisoner's father,
who is a draper, &c., there, of the object of their
visit. The old gentleman declared his entire ignor-
ance of anything wrong. The bed-room of the
daughter was searched, but no hat-box could be
found. In the cellar, however, a savings'-bank book
was found, from which it appeared that the prisoner
had 1431. 13s. lid. in the Mold Savings' -bank. Upon
making further inquiry, it was found that the pri-
soner's hat-box had been sent by his sister to the
house of a gentleman named Hancock, in Mold, and
was in the possession of that gentleman's servant.
Mr. Beswick and Mr. Percival at once went to Mr.
Hancock's, and having obtained possession of the hat-
box opened it, and found in it 500/. in gold, wrapped
up in various papers; banking books containing a
statement of deposits by the prisoner at the North
and South Wales Bank, Mold; the Royal Bank or
Liverpool, Messrs. Devon and Wardle's, and Messrs.
Granvilles, at Chester ; a mortgage deed and a pro-
missory note for 70/.
The following is a list of the amounts recovered,
and expected to be recovered, nearly all of which the
prisoner has acknowledged to having embezzled :

The ..bove facts were stated in evidence by M.
Beswick, Mrs. Chen, her daughter, and Mr. Perci-
val, and tIK, priioner, who &dined saying anything
in his defence, was fully committed to the _assizes
for trial,

It appears that Mr. Percival was not in the habit
of taking stock, and had little suspicion of what was
going on.

POISONING AT UXBRIDGE.
COMMITTAL OF THE ACCUSED.
Yesterday Thomas Dickman was brought up for
final examination before Messrs. R. H. Cox and T. T.
Clark.
Frederick William Shouring examined—l am a
shoemaker, and live in the house of the prisoner's mo-
ther. The prisoner frequently visits his mother. I
and my brother, who lives with me, are in the habit
of using oxalic acid in our business, to take stains out
of the soles of boots. We have only had two separate
pennyworths since we lived ;,there, the first about
eight weeks ago, and the • second, about midday on
the day (Wednesday) on which this occurrence took
place.
Police- constable Beechey, TlB2, examined—Shortly
before five o'clock in the afternoon of Wednesday last
I received information that the prisoner had been seen
to enter his mother's, house, and I immediately went
there and found him. with his mother at tea. I told
him I wanted him about the poisoning of his wife
and child. The prisoner said he was innocent, and
asked me to allow him to go to his wife's lodgings
before I took him to the station-house. I went with
him to his wife's lodgings, accompanied by the witness
Shouring. The prisoner saw his wife, and said to
her, "You've done a fine thing for me." That was
all that passed. On the way to the station I heard
the prisoner say to Shouring, " I have done it ; can
you tell me which way to get out of it ?" I asked
Shouring what the prisoner meant by what I had
heard him say, and Shouring said he did not know,
but he thought the prisoner meant the marriage with
his wife.
Shouring recalled—Recollected the prisoner saying
" I have done it ; can you tell me which way to get
out of it ?" but thought he meant the observation to
apply to his marriage with his wife. The prisoner
had before asked my advice about his wife, as she had
sent him to prison for deserting her, and I told him
to go for a soldier. I cannot take upon myself to
swear that the prisoner mentioned the word marriage
in any way.
Beechey recalled—l swear most positively that the
prisoner in no way mentioned anything about his
marriage which could have induced the last witness
to consider his observations to apply to that.
Mr. William Rayner examined—l am a surgeon,
living at Uxbridge. I received from Inspector Cooke,
on Thursday last, about midday, the sugar, as he has
stated. I tasted it in the first instance, and found it
extremely acid, but I could then form no opinion of
what acid it was. I have since subjected the same
sugar to analysis. I discovered by that analysis oxalic
acid in the relative proportion of one to twenty-five
parts. Every test I have applied proved the existence
of oxalic acid.
By the MAGISTRATES—There is no certainty as to
how small a quantity of oxalic acid would destroy life.
I do not think that a spoonful of sugar mixed, one part
of oxalic acid to twenty-five parts of sugar, would de-
stroy life in an adult, but it would in an infant. Had
the wife taken a second or a third cup of the coffee,
with a teaspoonful of the sugar in it mixed in the
proportions of one to 25 parts, I consider that it would
endanger the life of an adult person.
The MAGISTRATE asked the prisoner if he wished to
say anything in answer to the charge
The prisoner, with great vehemence, said, " I wish
to say nothing at all. My counsel is not here, and if
he was I should not be committed." The prisoner
was then committed to Newgate for trial.

NANTYGLO IRON Woßßs._One of the largest
sheet rolling machines in South Wales has been started
at these works. The engine is on a peculiar principle,
working expansively. Three sets of rolls are now in
operation with shears, punching machines, and saws.
Two more sets are to be got ready as soon as poisible,
and when they are " aiding and assisting," they will
greatly increase the make of iron. This splendid me-
chanical instrument has been designed and erected under
the immediate inspection of Crawshay Bailey, Esq. ; it
acts admirably. When finished, the expense of the erec-
tion will not be less than 26,0001.—Cambrian.
CLASS LAW-MASING.—We need only give two
short and simple instances to show how the landholders
have made laws for themselves. A carrier pays assessed
taxes, I Is. for his horse, and Bs. 9d. for his dog; but the
farmer pays not one farthing for either his ride horse or
dog. The carrier pays turnpike toll for conveying goods,
but the farmer pays not one farthing toll for manure,
draining-tiles, &c., &c. This " class' law-making has
been for the purpose of enabling the farmer (at the ex-
pense of others) the better to pay his rent. Landholders'
tricks are now plainly seen, and they have, by those
tricks,_ placed themselves in no enviable position.
A SORROWFUL WEDDING DAY.--A most distress-
ing accident occurred in Keighley-green, on Tuesday
last. A wedding party, which had come to dine with
the bride's brother in the park, were descending from
their conveyance, when the horse took fright and
dashed down the hill, kicking and plunging at a furious
rate. The splashboard was shattered to pieces,
and the bride, who with some others had not left the
carriage when the horse set off, had her leg broken.
A person of the name of Richardson sheceeded in
catching hold of the reins, and arresting the animal's
progress. The unfortunate woman was taken to her
brother's house, where she is doing as well as can be
expected,—Preston Guardian.
BURGLARIES IN SUSSEX.—Burglaries have been
committed in this county almost nightly during the last
month, and yet not a single person has been detected.
Twenty houses, at least, have been broken open, and the
, gang are becemo quite a terror to the country people.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY.
DERBY, MONDAY AFTERNOON.—This afternoon the
halt-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of the
Midland Railway was held at the railway station. Mr.
George Hudson, chairman of the Directors, in the chair.
There was a very full attendance.
Mr. BELL, secretary, read the report of the Directors,
which stated that the accounts, up to the 31st of Decem-
ber last, exhibited a balance in favour of the company
sufficient to pay three per cent. on the consolidated stock,
three per cent. on the preference stock, and 2/. 6s. 3d.
per cent. on the Birmingham and Derby consolidated
stock. The increase in the receipts of the three com-
panies had amounted to 42,078/. for the last half year.
There had been a considerable decrease in various items
of expenditure. It was with deep pain that the Direc-
tors adverted to the late accident at Nottingham. It
had caused them the deepest concern. They had
done all in their power to alleviate the affliction
of the parties who were the principal sufferers, and were
convinced that the accident had been occasioned by an
extraordinary error of judgment. The Directors expected
a considerable increase in the mineral depaitment of their
carrying trade, and had already ordered 250 additional
waggons, which would shortly be ready, and which
would better enable them to accommodate the increasing
traffic. The Directors of the London and Birmingham
Railway had agreed to a mileage rate on goods passing
to and from their line to the line of the Midland Com-
pany, and the former company had commenced the car-
riage of coals on the whole length of their line, which
would open up a large traffic ; and the Directors of the
Midland had, in consequence, given orders for more en-
gines of increased power. The new railways and
branches which had been started by the Midland Com-
pany had been based upon the principle of affording the
best railway communication to towns which were at pre-
sent destitute of that accommodation. The Directors
relied with confidence on the justice of the Board of
Trade, and believed that these proposed lines would re-
ceive the sanction of the Legislature. The balance-
sheet showed a receipt of 276,1291., and an expenditure
of 123,3361., leaving a balance of 152,7391.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
congratulated the meeting on the flourishing condition
of the Company. The sum of 12,0001. had been ex-
pended on the capital account to give increased accom-
modation at the stations, and this outlay, it was ex-
pected, would yield a return of 1,000/. per annum. The
arrangement with the Birmingham Company with re-
spect to heavy goods, would greatly increase the traffic
on the Midland line. Adverting to the late melan-
choly accident, he denied that there had been any
neglect of duty on the part of the Company, or
that it was to be attributed to a desire to screw
down the expenses ; for both he and his col-
leagues considered that no expenses were too great to
give a security to the public. Steps had been taken to
remedy any want of punctuality on the line, which did
not rest so much with the Midland Company as with
persons above York. The Syston and Peterborough
line, which the Company proposed to construct, was 47i
miles ' • and the capital required for its construction
would be 700,000/. It would reduce the cost of coal 50
per cent. in the district, and could not, he believed, be
successfully opposed. The line from Nottingham to
Lincoln would 1.,e 34 miles, cost 12,000/. a mile, and re-
quire a capital of 400,0001. Both lines had exceedingly
good gradients. Then there was a short line of thr, e•
eighths of a mile, to effect a junction between the Shef-
field and Rotherham and Manchester and Rotherham
Railways, which would cost 36,000/. Then there were
branches from Darfield to Maisborough and from Dar-
field to Elsicar, which would cost 65.0001. The pro-
posed line from Swinton, via Doncaster, Gainsborough,
Lincoln, Boston, Spalding, to Wiabech, was 124 miles in
length, and would join the Eastern Counties Railway at
March. It would cost 1,612,0001., at 14.000/. a mile ;
by means of it they would be enabled to travel quicker
than by the line proposed by the Manchester and Leeds
Company. They had then a branch from Swinton to
Wakefield, and on to Sheffield and Rotherham, and by

this line a distance of 40 miles was saved as compared
with the London and York line. After entering into an

examination of the merits of the proposed London and
York line, which he contended would never receive the
sanction of the Legislature, the Hon. Gentleman con•
eluded by moving the adoption of the report, which was
carried amid applause.
The dividend having been declared, and the three re-
tiring Dircetor, (Mr. Beale, Mr. Paget, and Mr. Teo)
having been re-elected, the meLtiug separated.

KENTISH LINES.—TUNBRIDGE, MONDAY.—To-day, a
meeting was held at Tunbridge, to oppose the proposed
exts usi. it lines from London to Tunbridge direct, and
trough csntral Kent. (None' Austen, of Kippington,
eceupied the chair, and gave his strenuous opposition to
any further railway schemes in that part of Kent, consi-
dering that alt the facility for travelling. and traffia whisk
was required by Tunbridge was afforded by the pi
sent line.- 'A fresh one, either from the Croydon or the
South-Eastern, was entirely unnecessary. He con-
demned the attempts of the parties as a destruction of
property for no useful purpose, and as an encroachment
on existing interests. After some other remarks to a
similar effect, a resolution was proposed, pledging the
meeting to oppose the projected lines. Mr. Alderman
Lucas. as a landowner on the line through which the
South-Eastern extensions to Kent would pass, felt it his
duty to support the measures of the South-Eastern Com-
psny, who had been driven to the making their line
a circuitous one from the opposition they
had received from the landowners in their
original project of carrying it from Ttln-•
bridge in a direct line to Maidstone. They had been
forced into the Weald of Kent, through a thinly popu-
lated district, when they might have gone through a po-
pulous one. He himself had opposed them in their direct
line, but had since had reason, from their desire to ac-
commodate the public, to repent of that conduct and re-
cant. The Maidstone people held similar opinions. The
South-Eastern Company. had evinced a desire to benefit
the public, and he would support them in their just and
legitimate right of connecting with the main line the
traffic of the adjacent country. The opposition arose
from the fear of injury to the Medway Canal Proprie-
tors, who dreaded the South-Eastern Company should
compete with them in the coal trade. The proposed
line of the South-Eastern would go through land be-
longing to himself, but he told the Company that he
was ready to support any line which had a tendency to
shorten the distance between London and Dover. The
motion was then put and carried, Alderman Lucas vot-
ing against it, and a Committee was appointed to oppose
the progress of the measure. Previous to the meeting,
several landowners and occupiers on the line intended to
be passed over by the South-Eastern applied for admit-
tance to the meeting, for the purpose of supporting that
Cenapany in their projects. The numbers were superior
to those of the meeting; but on being asked if they were
in opposition to the proposed railways, and declaring
they were not, they were refused to be admitted.
PROPOSED LINES THROUGH SOUTHWARK.—Yesterday
a public meeting of the rate-payers was held in the ves-
try-room of St. George's Church, in pursuance of a re-
quisition presented to the churchwardens, to take into
consideration the effect of the proposed railways through
this and the adjoining parishes, and whether the same
would not be injurious to the trading and other interests
of the parish, and tend to lessen the income from the
rates. The Rev. Mr. Horton, the rector, in the chair.
Mr. Cope, in moving the first resolution, contended that
the formation of, or extension of, railways through so
populous a district as the parish of St. George, with
their terminus contiguous to the bridges, would ma-
terially affect the interests of the inhabitants, and,
without affording any corresponding advantages, con-
siderably decrease the poor and other rates of the parish
by the destruction of houses that would be required, and
the removal of their occupants. In addition to this, the
surrounding property would be greatly deteriorated in
value, and injury would be inflicted on the trade of the
district. He called upon the meeting to use all the means
in their power, by petitioning Parliament, and appoint-
ing a committee to watch the progress of the Bill, and,
it necessary, opposing its fusing into a law; and moved
a resolution to that effect, which was seconded by Mr.
Marten. A discussion took place, in which the Rev.
Chairman, Mr. Boxer, Mr. Chester, Mr. Beetor, and
others took part, contending that the evils apprehended
by Mr. Cope would not arise by the extension of the
railways ; that it would not be politic for the parish to
interfere ; and that it did not follow that, because the
Board of Trade had reported in favour of the Bill, that
Parliament would adopt the recommendation. Mr.
Boxer moved, as an amendment, " That the vestry-
clerk should be directed to watch the progress of the
several Railway Bills affecting or cutting through the
parish, and to report thereon from time to time to the
parish officers." The amendment was carried by a large
majority.
ORAYESEND AND ROCHESTER.--This line, connecting
Gravesend with Chatham, Rochestar, and Strood, is now
completed. It is a single line of seven miles in length,
and has been constructed under the superintendence of
Mr. Rastrick, the engineer, and Messrs. Henderson and
Fox, the contractors, upon one of the banks of the
Thames and Medway Canal, without a special Act of
Parliament, there being a clause in the Act incorporat-
ing the Canal Company, enabling them at any time " to
fill up, alter, or convert the canal into a carriage way,"
and consequently into a railway. Operations were com-
menced in February last, and the works were completed
on the 28th ult., at which period the line would have
been opened to the public, but for some apprehension as
to the safety of a tunnel, constituting part of the canal,
of two miles in length. A short time since General Pas-
ley, the Government Inspector of Railways, tested its
security by firing cannon at the different sections, to
ascertain whether the chalk through which it is exca-
vated required bricking, and he recommended the addi-
tion of some masonry and works. On the 4th instant he
made his final inspection, and reported to the Board of
Trade. The railway runs along that bank of the canal
on which formerly was the towing-path, but the opposite
bank will henceforward be used for that purpose, thus giv-
ing a locomotive line for passengers, and acanal transit for
goods. As there is only one towing. path, through that
portion of it will be by steam-tugs, The run between
Gravesend and Rochester will occupy about twenty mi-
nutes. It is proposed to place the terminus at the former
town, in connection with the new pier, now erecting at
the Terrace-gardens.
SALISBURY AND YEOVIL.—On Wednesday last a meet-
ing of the inhabitants was held at Yeovil, in support of
this line, Mr. G. Edwards, the port's eve, presiding,e
Resolutions proposed and spoken to by Mr. J. T. Yino.;.,
Mr. Matthews, Mr. Mayo, Mr. Hanham, and others,
were passed unanimously in favour of a junction with the
South-Western Railway. Mr. J. Batten stated that the
Directors of that Company had no intention of abandon-
ing the undertaking, notwithstanding the unfavourable
report of the Board of Trade, but that, on the contrary,
they were prepared to carry it out if the towns upon the
route gave them support.
WILTS AND SOMERSET.--A meeting of the Committee'
of this Company was held at Trowbridge on Tuesday
last. Mr. walter Lone, M.P,, was in the chair. The
report of thy Board of Trado was read and highly ap-

proved, and a pledge was given on behalf of the Gress
W. and the and Somerset Com t
lea that
Billestern shall be brought Wilts into Parliament in the ensuing Yeah
for the purpose of making a better approach to Bat;
The precise line will be determined by the probable %
pense of executing it, and the probable repayment inntmik
shape of traffic. All the shares were allotted."—Pa
