They are a pastoral people, sad, their country is liable to frequent and long-con tinued droughts. They require an extensive terri tory for their cattle, within which they may shift from place to place when water dries up and herbage is consumed.

The eassequenee was, unicer xol of which the malcontent chiefs did not hesitate to avail themselves. The une.t rentarkahle circumstance about the recent outbreak in K offirland is the obstinate wilfulness with which Sir II sKRT Seim and his official subordiades chews! their eyes and cars against every symptom of impending danger. Colonel Ildalustrax, Captain NI-wl.l. %N. and Mr. Fe tit, all three observed a gene red misettleiiwnt of the minds of the Kaffir* as early us Awieit List. In July Sir ANDAIMI STOCKENKTROII had bluntly . and earnestly warned the governor that pyry.i,biare w his kolic7 must inevitably lead to blood shed. In 1 lictober.

According to this, therefore, in the opinion of the committee, the board were nut duly attending to the in terests of the company. Tile meeting of the 12th Mardi concluded its sitting by a resolution of the majority, that further consideration of the report of the directors, and the report of the committee of inquiry, be adjourned to the 4th day of April, and that the directors be instructed to pH a special meeting of the company for the purpose of adopting or refusing the offer of the Lando" and Worth Western Railway Company, and for condensing and de termining whether so much of a bill then is parliament promoted by . the Shrewsbury and Chester Company as affecting the interests of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company should be opposed ur supported, and to consider and determine all other matters included in the report of the committee of inquiry. While things were in that state the Great Western Company on the 20th March filed their bill for specific performance. It was sworn in the affidavits of the plaintiffs, and not contradicted by defendants, that this wee done in concert with the defendants. On the same day the Great Western Company obtained leave from the court to give special notice of motion for the injunction. On the same day the Shrewsbury and Chester Railwa Com pany filed their bill, and made the same application. I f} all this was done against the wishes of the shareholders what course were they to take ? By the Companies' Clauses Act it wee enacted &at five weeks must expire before a special meeting could be convened. Before that period could expire the orders, consent to which it was sought to restrain, might be obtained, and the company be irrevocably bound. The only course let was, as in the Exeter and Crediton Company r. Buller, for certain of the shareholders to file their bill trusting to its being afterwards ratified by a meeting of the shareholders. Mr. Stuart was heard in reply. His Lordship said that the application, though of a formal character, involved a principle of some importance. In the common ease of a bill tiled without due authority in the name of an individual • motion to take it ff the file with coats, to be paid by the party filing it, was of course. But bow did the rule apply to a case like the present ? under' the Companies Clauses Consolidation Act the parties who IMO pima facie alone entitled to take legal proceedings in the mama of the company were the directors. For this' prawns they were entrusted with the seal of the coin gong. , and were authorised to proceed either at law iw in equity, as they might see fit. But in that as in every other act they were subject to the control of a reel meeting of shareholders. To the exercise of this eestrol an obstacle might sometimes arise from the fact that gars weeks must elapse before a meeting fur the purpose could be convened. The act which it was desired to con trol might, in the meantime, be done, and mischief appre hended therefrom arise. What then was the proper course to be pursued under such circumstances? The case of the Exeter and Crediton Railway Company led, he thought to the conclusion that Lord Cottenham meant to lay down a general principle applicable to the companies in this position; and to say that cases might arise in which parties interested as shareholders might take on themselves with greater or lets authority to file a bill in the name of the company, relying on the subsequent ratification of their act by a meeting of the company. What the lord Chan cellor meant to say in the Exeter and Crediton case was that circumstances might exist in which if a shareholder took upon himself to tile a bill in the name of a company the court would not interfere brevi menu, as in the case of suits between individuals, to take the bill off the file, but would wait till an opportunity is given to convene & meeting, amine whether it will sanction the suit or not. The principle upon which the court would so proceed was intelligible enough. It flowed from the legal maxim, Omnis rati habitio retrutrahitur et mandato priori aspiparatur." In other words, " That a subsequent assent given to what has been already done has a retrospective effect, and is equiva lent to a previous command." If that might be done in some circumstances, the question was whether the circum stances of the present ease were such as to warrant tho application of the principle. He thought they were. His lordship then recapitulated the facts of the case= mi l Mr. Wood in his argument, and which he e as the true result of the evidence in die OMB. Did those facts authorise the application of the principle? Was there a probable reason for supposing that the share holders would have approved of the filing of the bill ? If the plaintiffs were right in saying that the majority of the shareholders were oppoeed to the acts of the directors—end that appeared to be the result of the evidence—they were right in filing the bill in the name of the company. That set, though commenced without authority, would, in case of their obtaining the sanction of the meeting of shareholders so the 4th April, become, by the retrospective effect of that sanction, an authorised act. It appeared to be clearly a proper course to pursue. The general principle upoa which the court acted was that where conclusion of proba bility arises from acts done by the shareholders, that the pa comny would have filed the bill if it had been possible to do so in legal course, there a shareholder may tile a bill in Ithe name of the company by anticipation, and the court in each a case will not take the bill oft the file until an oppor hmity bad been afforded to the parties tiling it of ascertain ing whether the shareholders will sanction it er not. Act ling upon that principle he would follow the course taken by Lord Cottenham in the Exeter and Crediton case, and direct the motion to stand over till the first day of next Term, by which time the sense of the meeting of share holders called for the 4th of April would have been made known. Buono Tica.Camicau.i.a Extort Baum ATTORNEY-GENIIS:IL r. GREAT NORTHLICI RAILWAY C . lINJCNCTION. Mr. James Parker and Mr. Mesaiter brought on again' this CAW., which, it may be remembered, was an applica tion for an injunction to restrain the defendants from interfering with the use by the inhabitantsuf Offord d'Arcy of a portion of the river Ouse. The motion had stood over till some questions of fact and law were decided in an action. Mr. Wigram and Mr. Denison were for the company. The Vice-Chancellor said that two matters of fact which had been in dispute were now established : first, that there Was a public highway from the road to the river; secondly, that the river was a navigable river. It seemed also estab lished that iu point of law the defendants were en titled to interfere with the navigation of the river. Ilia Honour was, however, of opinion, that the defen dants were nut entitled to obstruct the use of the landing place. lle held that preventing such a. use of the landing-place was altering the course of the river iu a way which the defendants were not entitled to do. There fore he thought that the existing state of things ought not to be permitted to remain ; and as the defendants had un dertaken to deal with their works at or near the landing place in such manner as the court might direct, they must be ordered to restore the way in some manner that would reasonably satisfy the plaintiffs, or he should certainly feel it his duty at once to atop the railway. The particular language of the order might be the subject of future dis cussion, and his Honour recommended the informants to be reasonable in their demands. They would not find much favour from Min if the company made a fair proposal and they rejected it. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL. (larks Jennings, driver of the omnibus 6,927, was sum moned for causing violent injury to a passenger by his con. vcyanee. Mr. .1.

On reaching the end of his journey he was getting out, when, while he was still gentling on the step of the vehicle, defendant called out " all right," and the horses went on. Complainant was thrown to the ground, and catching the handle of the door in his descent, was dragged along the ground through the mud, and received numerous severe contusions.

RETIREMENT OT THE WASTER OF TILE ROLLS. This was the ma sitting of his lordship in the Rolls Cyan prior to his resignation. And after all the consent petitions were disposed of, and as the court was about to 161, Nr. Turner, on behalf of the bar, addressed his lord ship to the following effect—lle expressed the great regret it the bar that the state of his lordship's health made it oeseueery for him to resign the office which he had fur so many yeses so ably filled, and their sincere hope, that MUNI retirement which he was about to seek, his health might be restored, and that be might continue to enjoy many years of happiness. It was not his intention to enter into a Meg examination of the manner in which his lordship had difteharged the duties of his office for years. He should on the one band be betrayed into flattery which would be alletssive to his lordship, or on the other should fail ade quately to express himself in commendation of it. He would merely notice the constant endeavours ofhis lordship to improve the practice of the court and to diminish the delay and expense of its proceedings. The public and the bag equally owed him a deep debt of gratitude ; and, on behalf of the bar, he desired to express their heartfelt Maier towards him. His lordship, during the delivery of this 'damn, was 'web all;:eted, and in reply spoke to the following effect : He said he was deeply affected and much gratified by this kind feelings which the bar had expressed towards him. The only merit he could claim for himself was that it using his best endeavour to discharge the duties of his office, and no one could be more conscious than he wee et his shortcomings in the performance of those duties. He could only attribute the approbation which had been so kindly expressed of his conduct to the indulgence of the her towards him, and their disposition to put a favourable con struction upon his acts. At a cooler moment there would he a stricter scrutiny of his conduct, which would have to be tested by the reports and his history, which would show Um he hail perforated his duties. They would show also bow greatly he had been assisted by the learning and ia tegrity of the bar who had practised before him. Andhra, he would add that every man, in whatever department et the profession he might be, had it greatly in his power to contribute to the due administration of justice, and had little could be done by the judge without such aridenen No one had enjoyed more of that assistance than Itionekt. EQUITY COURTS.—YESTERDAT. Damn twos essswesno ChM Cossrsuwal• INS BONOMeanie( AND BIagIINOMADI RAILWAT COS PANT ti, WILLIAM WILMA'S Gone AND 011111 AS. 1 The bill in this case was filed in the name of the com pany against the governing body of directors, alleging that the defendants, in opposition to the wishes of a majority of 1 the shareholders of the company, had affixed the seal et the company to two agreements, owe dated in July, 1860, with the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway Compani, and the other, dated in January last , with the Great Western Railway Company : that such agreements were considered improper and injurious to the interest of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company,by the greater portion of the proprietors thereof; that on the 20th March, 1861, tho Shrewsbury and Chester Company, and the Great Western Company filed their bills against the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company for specific performance of their respective agreements ; that it was desirable to resist to the utmost any decree being made in such suits ; that never theless the defendants, the directors of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company, had appeared for the company in such suits, and intended, in the name of the company, to consent to orders prayed, and for which notice of motion bad been given, in such suits for injunctions to restrain the company from the violation of such agreements ; that the directors were thus proceeding in opposition to the wisher of • majority of the proprietors, for the pmpose of benefiting the Great Western and Shrewsbury and Chester Companies to the absolute detriment of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company. The bill prayed for an injunction to restrain the defendants from ortneenting in the name of the company to any orders upon such notices of motion, or to any other orders in the aid suit instituted against the Shrewsbury and Birming ham Company in reference to the said agreement, and from defending said suits except under direction and sanction of the shareholders of the company obtained at a general meeting thereof. The bill having been put on the file by Mr. Scott and Mr. Webster, two of the shareholders, in the name of the company as a corporation, but without having previously obtained the sanction of a general meet ing of the proprietors specially convened for the purpose, as application was now made by the directors on behalf of the company to take the bill off the file, on the ground that it had been placed thereon without the authority of the company. They asked also that the costs occasioned by filing the bill might be paid by the parties filing it. Mr. Stuart, Mr. Itolt, and Mr. Hardy, in support of the motion, contended that the bill had been improperly placed on the file in the name of the company. A company was incapable of filing a bill unless with the sanction of a reso lution previously parsed at a public meeting specially eon- vened for the purpose, and unless by the agency of its own' solicitor duly authorised under seal. No such resolution had been passed in the present ease, and the solicitor em ployed to place the bill on the file was not the duly math°. need solicitor of the company. It was true that in the "Exeter and Crciliton Railway Company o. Buller" (11 Jurist, 532), _an application like the present had not been attended with success, but in that case there VMS • contention amongst the body of proprietors as well as amongst the directors themselves, amounting to a complete disorganisation of the governing body. Such was not the case here. The defendants were the governing body. They were unanimous in favour of the agreements sought to be impeached, and until their functions were superseded by the resolution of a general meeting of shareholders, they were entitled to be considered the sole managers of the affairs of the company, and the sole parties entitled to act in the matter of such agreements. Mr. Wood and Mr. T. V. Prior, for the plaintiffs in the bill, in opposition to the motion, said that in July, 1660, the contract with the Shrewsbury sad Chester Compauy was entered into. In September its tams were submitted to • general meeting of the y and drew down a general expression of hen. On that occasion no further prommike was taken. The chairman, in the name of the Glitter& amide% i twelve of whom were present, gave a solemn pia* sit Is enter into further contracts without obtaining the sanction of a general meeting specially called for CV. pose. Relying upon this, the shareholders took no Mss to what had already been done. Notwi C i pt s alg e , the directors, on the 10th January tobeethig, mitered into the agreement with the Great Western Itsil way Company mentioned in the bill. At the half-yearly meeting tithe company, held on the 12th February following, the diregen disclosed by their report that the agreement had ► t ex iiiii into in violation of the pledge given to the . Upon this, the shareholders being greatly as ad and dissatisfied, passed • resolution to the effect pimalato : "T ha t the further consideration of the report' of Ad ts he postponed, and that the meeting being bbealided with the poaitioo and management of the each of the eempany, • committee of shareholders be appointed to implosions the truth of the statement of accounts, and into Am any of the acts of the directors and their officers, I width mop be brought under their notice • and into the I mew sod validity of all agreements made by them, and ply into the necessity fur entering into • perma- neat agreement with the Great Western Railway Company 1 ea the eve et • general swain, in violation of: 1121 1 diLle with power M inquire for ab the circuastaeces . with seek egetement, allitglgli IM inquire into the set each of the sward bells disk the et:Teton are now prem. eating in j=lle= moil whether the some or any and which Of be supported or approved by the slarehebbmi s red with power to napes nemetbmons with the Lenin dna North Weotent Cempseig, fie ibe purpose sr a k at el : uell 'aka*/ end eggsmiallth" On the 816 1151, dr imemlitee mode their re- Pis% se the a nipeeded &dr egisemost to _Ow Wears 011111,11114 11'10 sea Menet " With vollessee lli r s it.

St, at the instance of Mr. Redgrave, Sub-Inspector of factories, for offending against the act relating to labour in factories, by employing Charles Matthews, a young person under the age o(18 years, after the hour of seven o'clock on the even ing of the 13th day of March. Mr. Redgrave gave evidence to prove that he visited the defendant's manufactory at half-past seven o'clock in the evening of the 13th day of March, and fouud the boy Matthews at work the rule of law W 341 for them to leave off work at seven o'clock. The defendant had once before infringed this rule with some girls in his employ. Defendant admitted the fact that the boy had worked to the time described, but it was in consequence of one of his tenants taking in a large quantity of coals on that day. Charles Matthews, the boy, confirmed the evidence of Mr. Redgrave. He generally worked from 7in the morn ing until 7 in the evening. Mr. Combo remarked that there ought to be some rule or system adopted, so that the boys and girls employed in th• manufactory should leave off work at 7 o'clock in the even ing. The government had been at great expense, and there were various reasons why the act of parliament had been passed. The penalty was 3/., or not less than 11.

The deaths, which increased to 1,247 in the beginning of March, and subsequently rose to 1,401, amounted in the week ending last Saturday to 1,412. Taking for comparison the ten corresponding weeks of 1841-50, it appears •that the highest number was 1,197, and occurred in 1845 (in a week when the mean tempera ture had fallen about ten degrees lower than usual), and that the average mortality was 997. This average, it cor rected according to the supposed rate of increase in the po pulation' amounts to 1,088 , and the increase above it exhi bited in last week's return is 324. The sickness which now prevails is common, aa already shown,to all periods of life, but it deserves notice that, whereas the total mortality returned in either of the last two weeks is nearly the same, the deaths of rung persons under 15 years shows a decrease from 593 (in the week ending 15th March) to 566 last week, while those which occurred in the middle period of life rose from 442 to 456, and those in the still more advanced stage (or above 60 years) rose from 365 to 390. In the last week the deaths attributed to influenza—simply, or in conjunc tion with bronchitis, inflammation of the lungs, disease of the heart, or other malady—are 65 ; in the previous week they were 39; whilst the average of corresponding weeks does not exceed It The cases classed under bronchitis have decreased from 171 to 1.56, and are still at least double the average; those from pneumonia or inflammation of the lungs remain about 125 whilst the average does not exceed 87. The cases ascribed in the Table to asthma are 39, which is also more then usual; phthieis or consumption numbers 166 in both weeks, while the average, though cor rected for increased population, isles. than 150. Hooping. cough carried off 81 children,while the average number in cor responding weeks is 48, and croup 12. Amongst the epi demics, besides hopping-cough, that arc incident to child hood, measles shows some disposition to prevail ; but it is satisfactory to observe that small-pox is less fatal than it was a few weeks ago, and has declined to 16 deaths. In stances of the neglect of vaccination, or of determined op position to it, are still subject of complaint on the part of those whose professional aid is required in the treatment of the disease. Last week the births of 824 boys and 756 girls, in all 1580 children, were registered. The average of six corresponding weeks in 1845-410 was 1431. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean daily reading of the barometer decreased to 28.842 in. on Saturday. The mean of the week was 29.351 il3. The mean daily tempe- Tatum was generally above the average, and on Thursday and Friday exceeded it by about 6 degrees. The mean': of the week was 44 .9 deg. The wind was general) yin the south-west. Rain fell in the week to the depth of 1.13 inch. TILE DIRECT LONDON AND EN MEE RA B.W AY.- It is understood that the only di sentient director to the proposed compromise in this matter is Mr. Shairp.
