LAW INTELLIGENCR. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner HolropL) His Honour sat in chambers, and disposed of a abort list applications. Several trader debtor summonses, which tarn taken out with a view to bankruptcy, came on •er he iring - the point mainly involved being whether 4 Let the alleged debtor should enter into a bond .1, eider that the creditor might be secured if he succeeded ;,„ ,i.h.hing hi. claim. In one case the claim was in of " ditfenmces" arising out of Stock Exchange t e e..i,tieue, and the debtor having filed an affidavit of g .. defence upon the merits the summons was dismissed, to abide the event of the action. In another case tl e. rtiticate of registration of a deed which the debtorhail uteri was produced. and it was contended that the re direr was bound by the deed. His Honour said that t 1... debtor anti either admit the demand or make a p.eetion that he had a good defence to it, the creditor at liberty to take such proceedings as he in.; ht he advised in order to test the validity of the deed. An ..l placation was also made on behalf of a dissenting fur leave to examine a lady who bad executed a eI. the contention being that the instrument was fa.s.did. In answer to the application it was submitted it it ought to have been made earlier, but this e hjection being overruled, an affidavit was read .hosing that the lay was suffering from illness, and his It in granting leave to examine her, directed the ills.intruerit for the purpose to be postponed for two u.mths. _ _ _ Mr. Lucas, Mr. Doris. and Mr. Denny applaud as two...A in the various cues. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) BOW-STREET. THE TOYH' 40E THE HAT. Heal, a respectable-looking young man, who de scribed himself as a linundraper, was charged with as *aulting Henry Maunder, one of the porters at the Gower street station of the Metropolitan Railway. The complainant stated that about a quarter past 6 o'clock last evening he was on duty at the station, when the prisoner came on the platform with some friends, eat down upon a bench and began coughing violently. It was Out like a person coughing naturally, hut a forced and ludicrous coughing, intended to give annoyance. When remonstrated with by his own friende, he said, " Ile could not bear the atmosphere"—(a laughl— and continued to cough 60 loudly that he might have been heard in the street. Witness told him he really must desist, as he was creating a disturbance at the station. The prisoner still persisted, and witness said if he could not keep quiet, he (witness) must eject him from the station. As the prisoner still continued the annoy witneu proceeded to remove him. He then seized witness by the beard, and tore it out by handfuls. (The witness here added, ruefully, that he " had" a large beard. As now seen it was somewhat scanty, but a great quantity of hair was produced by another pater as having been collected on the plat form It was so obvious that a grievous amount of torture must have been suffered from the wholesale tearing of the hem) from the ioota,that a sort of shudder passed through the crowd of spectators.) The prisoner, who was quite drunk, was ultimately removed from the station, and given in charge. John Woodman, another porter, corroborated. Isaac Burcliani, police-constable 45 E, who took the pri soner into custody, stated that the latter, on the way to the station-house, said, " It is a had job for me ; I ought to have known better." The prisoner admitted that he was drank, but said he we, really suffering from a cough, and did not wilfully exaggerate it. It was by pure accident that he tore the complainant's beard by laying hold of it to save himself from falling. The complainant said that nothing of the kind occurred. Mr. Vaughan believed that the cough was a mere pre tence. The prisoner bud been some time in court and hail shown no *ism of any such affliction. It was a must brutal and cruel assault, for it would be difficult to conceive any thing more painful than tearing the hair out of a man's beard. He must pay a fine of 31. , or be committed for 21 days. Thu fine was immediately paid. WORSHIP-BTREET. .111 ROWING STONES AT .A_TRAIN.-00/11117TAL. William Baxter, a lad of 17, was charged on remand with having, on the 21st of July, flung a stone at a railway train, while in the course of transit from Str a tf or d t o Vic toi2a:park-station. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Shore, solicitor to the Great Eastern Railway Company. From the evidence given by James Hird, an engine driver in the employ of the company, it appeared that on the 21st of July he was dewing a passenger train from Stratford to Victoria-park, when, as he ap proached a viaduct, he observed a number of boys running about the line and embankment. On his sounding the whistle, they all cleared otf, as the train passed the prisoner flung a stone at the engine, but it missed the sum, struck the first carriage, and rebounded on to the embankment. The train was stopped and the guard pursued the prisoner, obo was captured after a smart chase. When he was caught a stone was found in his hand. He said he was very sorry, but he did not do more than the others. Corroborative evidence having been adduced by the gaud, the prisoner declined to say anything in answer to the charge, and the m a gi s trate fully committed him to the Sessions for triaL CRUELTY TO AN APPRENTICC. Jots Rawlins, a cabinet maker, of 78, Hackney.road, appeared to a summons wherein he was charged with hosing on the Ist of August last assaulted, beaten, and illdreated one Thomas Craig, his apprentice by indenture. The evidence went to show that complainant had on occasions when his master found fault with him been subjected to personal violence on the back, in conse quence of which he was laid up for fi ve weeks. FairaU, the warrant officer, said that when application was made for the summons five or six bruises were dis tinctly discernible from one end of the boy's spine to the other. He should think that they existed still. The magistrate directed an examination, and on per ceiving that such was the cue directed the defendant, who Is a very heavy man, to pay a fine of 205., 7s. lid. a week (his wages) during the five weeks of the boy's illness, a_d the expense of the summons, and also ordered the in dentures to be cancelled. SOUTHWARK. CLEVER CAPTURE OP • HOUSEBREAKER. Edward Johman, a well-dressed man, was charged with attempting to break into the dwelling-house of Mrs. Tay lor, hairdresser, Great Suffolk.street, Borough. Sergeant Ball, a detective officer of the M division, said that ab ou t half-past 10 on Wednesday night he saw the Whetter and another well-known character loitering shout Great Suffolk•street, and suspecting their intentions he watched them. The prisoner went op to Mrs. Taylor's door several times and appeared to be trying the lock, while his companion kept on the look out. Witness vent nearer to them and saw the prisoner put some thing into the lock, and on his approaching, the pri soner turned round, withdrawing something from the lock. He at oboe seised hold of him and found a double site letup key produced. Witness directed another constable to secure his companion, but he contrived somehow to esom n pe. I answer to Mr. Burnham witness said that Mrs. Taylor only occupied a shop and parlour in the house, the re mainder being a jeweller's shop, which was only divided off by a wood partition. He had no doubt that the pri soner's intention wu on gaining an entrance to Mrs. Tay lor's to break his way through that partition and strip the leweUer's shop. Res. Taylor and her sbopman proved seeing the pri soner and his companion try the door two or three nights previously. The prisoner had also been shaved two or three times at the shop, and Lad an opportunity of ex amining the partition. The magistrate asked if the prisoner wu known to the police. Sergeant Ball replied that he wan, and on • future axe ion he should be able to show that he hail been previously convicted. Tie prisoner , who decli ne d to say anything a t this rise of the p roc eedings, was remanded until Thursday next. 11 1t - YIPICENCE OF A SOMMTOR.—Mr. William Dackmore, e the firm of Duncan, &matey, and Black score, solicitors, of Liverpool, bag just made a munificent pit to his native city of Salisbury.

(7.4 ii s it i. ) An extraordinary general meeting of share. holders was held this afternoon at the London Tavern; Sir C. LAIIPSON, the vice-chairman, presiding. The following report was presented to the company : "The business of the present meeting is confined to the declaration of a dividend, in orcLr that the warrants may be is•ned with as little delay as possible. It may perhaps, however, be necessary for the shareholders again to be celled together during the autumn. The large sum of 205,3171. has been earned by the cables during the past year. Towards the close of the financial year, the revenue has had to bear the expense of two accidents to the cable of 1866, both it is believed the result of crushing by icebergs. The last accident, now being repaired, occurred only four days before 27th July. The Anglo-American Company have deducted 21,891 W. 16e. from the revenue in respect of these two events, and this charge not having as yet been agreed to by the Atlantic Company, has for the present been carried to a suspense account. Notwithstanding these large deductions, there remains to the credit of the revenue account a balance amounting to 28,1331. its. 5d., and out of this the board propose to declare a dividend for the year ended 27th July, at the rate of 4 per cent. free of income tax, upon the First Eight per cent. Preferen tial stock, p►yable on and after the 30th instant. The directors of the Atlantic Company in pursuance of their proposed policy, which met the approval of the shareholder, at their last meeting, arranged an interview with the Anglo-American directors a few days after the end of the financial year, for the purpose of discussing reduction of tariff. The directors of both companies present agreed upon a scheme to be recommended to their respective boards, and on the sth of August the Atlantic Telegraph Company wrote to the Anglo- American Company setting forth the proposed reduction of tariff, and strongly recommending its adoption. They are sorry, however, to state that these concessions to the public were negatived by the heard of the Anglo-American I Company. The Atlantic Company have also subsequently failed in their renewed endeavours to induce the Anglo- American Company to unite with them in the adoption eitht rof the proposed, or say other practicable form of reduction." _ _ In moving its adoption, the VICII•CHAIRMAN expressed hie deep regret at the absence of Mr. Wortley through indisposition, and apologised also for the rest of his brother directors, who had all left town. The present financial situation of the company was as follows : —The net earnings of the company for the year bad been 153.1341., Aber deducting 7,0141. for back interest on bonds issued in 1864, which charge would not occur again. The sum of 153,000/. would pay an interest of six percent. on 2,400,000/. (which would be about their capital if they paid off the Anglo-American Company) and leave 16,0001. fora reserve fund, taking into account the amount charged for the two accidents—contingencies which it was hoped would not soon occur again, azel the 7,014/. for back inte rest. The net earnings without these deductions would have shown about 182,0001., which would pay 7 per cent. on the 2,400,000/.,leaving for the reserve fund 14,0001. ; and had the company been in possession of their cables even the 153,000/. of earnings would have paid 8 per cent. on the 600,0001. first preference stock, and 8 per cent, on a second preference stock of 1,200,000/., being 14 per cent. for the 600,000/. of old shares. The result of the year's proceed ings had shown the great advantage of having two cables; and he thought that the occurrences which had led to the !eying of the second bad on the whole turned out well for the company. The Seenrraer, at the request of Sir C. Lampoon, then read the voluminous correspondence which had taken place between this company and the Anglo-American on the subject of the modification of the tariff. The ViCE•CHAIRNAN, resuming, said that the prefixal of this company was to allow 15 words to be sent or 5 guineas, instead of the present rate, which was 101. fur 10 words, the press being charged half price. The Anglo-American proposition was to charge 7s. lid. per word, the effect of which would be to reduce the cost of an average message to about 2/. 10s. He believed that such a proposal would not receive the sanction of the Anglo-Amencan shareholders ; and at all events he thought the Anglo-American directors should be more considerate of the interests of this company. The traffic varied very greatly. In one month it bad averaged 1,180/. per diem, and in another 6531. He believed that the redaction proposed by the Anglo-American would diminish their earnings to an extent that would barely leave that company their own dividend of 25 per cent. He trusted that something would be done to put down the system of packing messages, which he conceived might easily be done if the Anglo-American would only take the proper pre caution. He congratulated the meeting on the passing of an act of parliament which Would enable them to raise any amount of capital they might need, and he trusted that an opportunity would, before long, offer of availing themselves of it. (Cheers.) In answerto a SR ARIHoi.ngP, Sir Cowls added, that the difference between the two proposed tariffs was that the Anglo-American proposed to reduce the charges to 7s. 6d. per word, whereas this com pany would reduce it to 7s. ; but this company did not wish to take any message for less than five guineas. (Hear, hear.) He wished also to say that he considered the charge for repairing extravagant ; and the directors had accepted the sum paid over to them with prejudice to their claims. Mr. CATOR said that if the tariff bad been reduced to 5/. be should himself have sent five messages for the one he now sent. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Cater also added that be bad reason to believe that the company was losing • great deal of money by the packing system. In the mean time he was satisfisd that they would lose thousands a year unless the two oonspanies' could find some way of pulling better together. (Bear, bear.) Sir C. 'AMMO( said the directors had offered to amal gam►te at the market price of the respective stocks, and to retire altogether from the management of the concern ; but the Anglo-American Board had not the slightest dis position to meet their views. . A SkIAREHOLIMR thought that no good would be .lone to thin company till it had got rid of the Anglo-American Company. (Loud cheers.) After some further conversation, the resolution was agreed to; end • vote of thanks to the chairman and directors concluded the business. DREADFUL MACHINERY ACCIDENT.—Geo. Sykes, a single man, t 1 years of age, working for Messrs. George Mayall and Co., cotton spinners and manufacturers, Wesley Brow, Slossley, woe killed in a most dreadful manner in the mill about 10 on Monday morning. It seems the deceased was engaged in taking a strap oil • shaft in the cardroom when he was caught and hurled round the shaft for about two minutes before the engine could be stopped. The shaft makes 70 revolutions per n.inute, so that the doomed would be hurled round the shaft 140 times, and he wee of course quite dead when released. THE SULTAN'S Toys. IN EUROPE.—The keeper of the Hotel Zinn Rieeen, at Cobleatz, where the Sultan made a short stay on his homeward journey, has been deco rand with the Orde r o f th e M e djid i a, an d his wife has re ceived a valuable brooch.

THE INTERNATIONAL WORKING MEN'S CONGRESS. —The International Working Men'sCongresiwas opened 'on Monday last, at Laumanne. The first congress was held last year in Geneve. The report from the central counoil in London was read. It stated that the French government had in every way thrown obstacles in the way of the cir culation of the report of last year's proceedings, but that the association had nevertheless made great progress in Frazee, branch associations having been formed in Paris, Lyons, Bordeaux, Rouen, Auch, Orleans, Nantes, Mar seilles, Caen, Havre, &c., and even in Algeria and Gu►de loupe; the association madeprogress also in Belgium ,Switzer land, Italy, and Germany. The trades unions of Illinois and New Jersey were in communication with the central council. Much indignation was excited in the congress when it was announced that an English court of law de cided that stealing from the funds of a trades' union was not an offence punishable by the law of England. PROPOSED DINNER TO MR. DISRAELL—We are glad to hear that a movement Ia in progress to entertain the Chancellor of the Exchequer at a public dinner in Edinburgh towards the end of October. The proposal, we believe, meets with very general support throughout the country.—Edinburgh Courant. THE REPRESENTATION OF BELFANT. —A CANDI DATE CONNITTLT) FoR TRIAL.—The report that Mr. Win. Johnston, of Ballylrilbeg, intended to become • can didate for the representation of Belfast (says the Northern Whin) turns out to be trite. The new can didate for the honour of representing the borough is extremely indignant with the present government, and decla . es himself not more the upholder of protestantisin than the champion of freedom. Mr.'Johnstone, as we learn from the same paper, was on Wednesday, with Z 3 other persons, committed for trial at the Down assizes on a charge of having been concerned in an Orange demonstration at Bangor on the 12th of July. When Mr. Johnston left the court, • large number of persons met him outside, and lustily cheered him. He was accompanied to the railway station by • large crowd, and on the route severa l orange handkerchiefs were displayed. At the railway station cheers were given for Mr. Johnston, " the future member for Belfast," and epithets of a very uncomplimentary character were used respecting the magistrates who had officiated at the investigation. An exhibition of fine arts, natural history sub jects, curiosities, and industrial productions, was open d on Wednesday in the Sunderland Working Men's Club, by the Earl of Durham, lord-lieutenant of the county. The club in question has been several years in existence, and numbers about 1,300 members. THE DUBLIN EXHIBITION BUILDING.—At the adjourned meeting of the Exhibition Palace Company, held yesterday, a report was read from the committee of investigation appointed at a previous meeting recommend ing that the building be sold. An offer of 80,0001. had been made, bet was withdrawn. After a long discussion, it was resolved to postpone action for a month, and, if a fair offer is not made in that interval, a general meeting is to be called to sanction the sale of the property by motion. LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT AT CARTLETOWN.—On Wednesday a lamentable accident occurred at the Isle of Man. Mr. G. Webster, registrar of births and deaths for the Kirkdale district, Liverpool, was on a visit to the island, with some of his family, and he went to bathe. The sea was rough at the time, the tide running out strongly, and the deceased, though • good swimmer, was carried out to sea. An alarm was raised, and the life boat was manned, but though search was made for an hour and a half, the body was not found. Deceased leaves a wife and eight children.— Mande/kr Guardian. THE PASSAGE OF BRITISH TROOPS THROUGH Boner.—The Nil of Alexandria writes as follows respect. ing the arrival and passage of British troops through Egypt:—" The most contradictory statements are current regarding the approaching arrival of English troops in this country. It was generally understood that these troops before leaving for their destinations, whether in England or India, would remain for a ce rtain period of time in Egypt, where some said that they would put up at certain parts of Gabari or at the hospital at Suez, while others represented that they would encamp under tents at Ramleh. We are enabled to state that British troops passing through Egypt will only land at the moment of traversing the isthmus on their way to their destination. Five vessels have been chosen for the transit service of the English soldiers to and from India ; two will perform the service of the Mediterranean, and three that of the Red Sea. The latter vessels have already left by the way of the Cape of Good Hope. Each of these transports is fitted up to ac commodate 2,000 men. Troops fresh from England on their way out will remain on board for one or two months in order to become acclimatised, and they will only land for the purpose of crossing Egypt by rail, and embarking at Suez in the transport which is to carry them to Indi. Troops arriving from India will be treated rice tenet. It will be seen, therefore, that there is no intention of hous ing them in Egypt with arms and baggage, and England will he no better treated in this respect than France, which keeps its troops on their way to Cochin China on board its guardship at Alexandria." LAUNCH OF THE " LICENSED VICTUALLER" LIFE BUT AT 01:NSTANTON. —Yesterday a lifeboat, the gift of some members of the Society of Licensed Victualler,. was launched at Hunstanton with great eclat. A party of excursionists left London early in the morn ing to be present, and the procession, which was of an imposing and interesting character, was headed by theband of the Lioensed Vietuallers'Schoole Mr. Winter botham, President of the Liocused Victuallers' Association, in an appropriate address presented the boat to Captain Ward, as the representative of the National Lifeboat In stitution, Mrs. Winterbotham broke a bottle of wine against it, with the words, " I name this boat The Licensed Victualler ; may God prosper her." The boat moved off to sea amid a burst of hearty cheering. She was, with some difficulty, capsized, in order to display her sell-righting qualities. THE MEDICAL ASPECTS OF AN ABYSSINIAN CAM PAlGN.—Assuming that the report of the release of the prisoners may turn out to be false, the Lancet has, under the shore heading, a long article, from which we extract the following :—" The meteorological phenomena of the country present nothing in themselves to awaken any vei y serious apprehensions. Massowah, it is true, is one of the hottest places in the world. In July Ferret and Gslinier found the temperature 127 deg. in the shade, and in November it was 93 deg. at noon, and 86 deg. at 9 p.m. The nights are cold, characterised by heavy dews, and blankets are required. The rainy season in the highlands lasts from May to September, and a little rain falls in November ; the temperature is mild ; the nights are cold, particularly at great elevations, snow existing on the tops of the highest mountains. The diseases incidental to Abyssinia are touched upon by various authors, but by none are they more graphically or sagaciously described than by Bruce himself. Mainly, they are these:—Malarial fevers, ranging in severity from a continued to the tertian intermittent type ; dysentery, the common con comitant of these fevers ; the parasitic diseases, to which we referred last week ; and a few others—elephan tiasis and skin diseases among them—are mentioned by authors, but these need not detain us. With regard to the parasitic causes of disease, we are ignorant of the extent to which these may prevail in the particular localities which oar troops will traverse. There is no reason whatever to fear any sudden breakdown from this cause, however; besides, they are to • great extent preven'able. Rn at we may state that a large ant is mentioned lay some of the writers on Abyssinia as particularly destructive to all articles of clothing and tent equipage ' and as inflicting very disagreeable stings on man himself. The fevers are by far the most important item in the list of diseases incidental to the climate ; but these are, after all, mainly confined to the lowlands, and to the highlands in certain localities and during certain seasons. The Taeazzy, one of the principal rivers, is a large sad rapid stream, varying, however, remarkably in these respects, according as it is the rainy or dry season. Bruce says that, from the falling of the first rains in Marsh till November, it is death to sleep in the country adjoining it, both within and without its banks." The article concludes with some practical suggestions for the consideration of the autho rities. MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) Oyu o'Owar.. In the absence of any confirmation of the news of the release of the Abyssinian captives, the English funds are offered to-day, and have expe rienced a decline of kto 3-16 per cent. Prepara tions for the monthly settlement on the 10th inst., which have already commenced, indicate that some large speculative transactions are open for a rise, and this circumstance has contributed to the flatness of Consols. The further increase in the resources of the Banks of England and France has had no favourable influence. British railway securities are without change of importance, but foreign bonds have further advanced. Bank of England stock is heavy, in anticipation of the declaration of a reduced dividend at the meeting to be held shortly- Very few dealings have been recorded in banking and financial shares. There is no new feature in the money market, and the rates for discount of bills and for ad vances in the Stock Exchange on English go vernment securities are unaltered. The purchase to-day by the government broker for the sinking fund comprises 21,0001. Reduced Three per Cents., at 93k, ex div. Consols are quoted 944 to 3 for money and next Tuesday's settlement, and 944 for the Bth Oct. Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents. are called 93 to 1, ex div.

The half yearly meeting of the Great Western Railway Company of Canada will be held on the 9th of October. At a special meeting, convened for the same day, the shareholders will be asked to consent to an agreement entered into on the 12th June last with the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada. About 19,0001. in gold was purchased by the Bank yesterday. The Queen of Nations has arrived from Sydney with 27,0001. in gold, and the Denmark, from New York, with 17,0001. Telegraphic advices from Calcutta state that the directors of the National Bank of India (Limited) have declared a dividend for the half year ending the 30th June last, at the rate of three per cent., and a bonus of one per cent., making a distribution equal to eight per cent. per annum. The reserve fund has been increased by 8,0001., and the sum of 1,4001. has been carried forward to the next half year's account. By the unanimous resolution of the shareholdem it has been arranged to transfer the direction of this bank from Calcutta to London, and to register the'company under the English Com panies Act of 1862. It is said that an influential board has already been formed in London, and will enter upon its duties as soon as the necessary arrangements are completed. The Great Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1,5771. over last year ; the London and South Western an increase of 2,0811. ; the London, Chatham, and Dove-, including the Metropolitan Extension and branches, an increase of 2,879/. ; the Metropolitan Exten sion, separately, an increase of 4101.; the Limes shire and Yorkshire an increase of 2,5351. ; the North Eastern an increase of 5,1911. ; the North British an increase of 1201. ; and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Li-icolahire an increase of 1 , 5651. At the meeting yesterday of the Merchant Bank ing Company of London (Limited) a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum was declared for the half-year ending the 30th of June last. At the meeting of the general board of the Queen Insurance Company, held on Wednesday, Mr. Clare Sewell Read, M.P. for Norfolk, and Mr. W. Dalglish, of the firm of James Dalglish and Co., merchants, of Liverpool, were elected directors. The traffic receipts on the Atlantic and Great Western Railway for the second week in August amounted to 119,016 dots., against 131,088 dols. in the corresponding period last year, showing a decrease of 12,072 dots. Annexed is the return of the paid clearing cheques and bills for the week ending September 4.
