~ I CANADA. UERAI IYESTIfka RAILWAY CONEA.VI UP Annexed are passages from the report of the directors " It will be remembered that in the report to July 31, 11.57, it was stated that arrangements having been concluded with the pro incial governs:ma fir the repayment of the advance made to the company, etc amount hitherto reserved as a sinking fund bad been traneferred to revenue account, and which, •iels the undiritle balance of last half-year, amounted to 68,2791. 16e. 3d. The director, have thought it right at once to carry to the debit of this surplus revenue the whote cost incurred and compositions actually paid for the Deejenlins Canal accident last year, amounting to 30,031. Is. 10d. ; and, in addition to which, bonds maturing at vari ous dater from one to Ilve yeere have been given fur an aggregate sum of 9,822/. Its. id , which will be placed again.t revenue as they mature. There ate still three cc for unsettled cases, but the directors do not ant;eipate that the amount to be paid will be large, the heavy claims having loon already disposed of. The whole cost of replacing the compound rails by lish jointed T rails hoe also been canted this half year to the debit of revenue to the extent of 21,897/. 10.. 3d. The urgent necessity of removing these defective rails was adverted to in the engineer's report to July Slat,' 1857. The directors here therefore written oil these two item instead of spread ing this outlay over several half-years. A further unusual amount is also carried to the debit of revenue this half year, 63871. Se. 7d., being so much traMc receipts overstated erroneously fur the half-year ending July 31, 1856, daring the period that the audit-office books were under the direction of the late accountant, and it ie therefore nem eery that this sum should be deduced from the pub lished earnings of the railway. These three items together amount to 56,7371. 17e.

Therms. de , eased truffle, ea compered with the correspond ing. period tof Ito year, require, afew words of explanation. o son, the dote of the last report, the commercial affairs of the Amer,can c,ntinent have bees shaken to their founda tions. With few exceptions, all the banks in the United States were compelled to suspend specie payments ; a vast tuniber of mercantile failu-es took place; fur several mouths nfidenoe wane' mpletely paralysed, and a wild and resistless panic cloud it ,to one end of the continent to the other. The nature' rtatin of this has been a complete prostration buinese, end when to this is added a mutinies(' decline in the value of the staple productions of the comely, it is not surpridogtbat the trot!!: on railways bar suffered a very heavy decrease. Ihe constant fall in the price of wheat and It our in the E tett rn markets hes chedied the transport of these articles-the impossibility of effecting sales of produce ha. prevented Western merchants and others from meeting their engagements, and consequently the quantity decode put c hued for coftannaptioa in th t W es t h as b een entirely you.

The value hitherto placid upon lend and other property haa bet n proved to be absurdly extravagant, and the price of agriculturel land must now fall to a point which will attract the clam of settlers most wanted in this country, and thereby add materially to Ler prosperity. iteviewing the commercial dismayed of last autumn, and considering their effect upon the business of the American continent up to the present time, the directors feel they are fairly entitled to congratulate the shareholders that in such a trying period the Great Western Railway has proved that it powers movers sullicient to yield a profit in the working of the half-year equal to a dividend upon the cost of the line of upwards of Si per cent. per annum. They consider that this feet is a conclusive evidence of the soundness and intriaaie value of the property, and of its future prosperity, when the boner.. of the mastery shall hove agar revived.

It Is impeded to complete and open this branch fur trafflo beet,: the elm of the present year, and it is hoped by the spring of 1919 the exrenaion from Port Huron, in e.nnection with the Detroit and Milwaukee Railway, will alto be in operation. The expenditure on account of the Galt and Guelph Railway now amount. to 110,012 L 161. 2d. The line was opened for public traSe on the llth September, 1857. Immediately after the resolution peered by the share holders st the meeting in London on the Ph of October last, in regard to the Detroit end Slihrenkie Railway Company the direeturs (-surd a careful examination to be made late the statements furnished by that cenipeny. as to Its &gram sad accounts, and the result of a complete and thorough inveatiga•ion showed that the sum 1.1 1.50,0001. sterling would be sufft ient to meet the duo • ef the secured creditors, and leave enough to open the line end provide the nemeary mliisg et.ck.

" The value to this comptay of the connexion with the Detroit and Milwaukee Railway the directors consider as roost important, and they look forward consequently to the Neese train of the Great Western Railway receiv ing a great weenies of bushiest tom that source. To complete the eystem of railways in Michigan. oven which this company relies for ea large an addition to its through business, there has also to be considered the imp,- tane Irak of about 90 mile., connecting the Detroit mid Mil waukee Reilway from Owoost with Port Huron, which is immediately emonsits to the terminus of the Sarnia branch of the Great Western Railway.

S ono of that numerous class afflicted with • nightly horror of casualties by fire, I beg to thank you for the prompt and valuable suggestions which you have offered in reference to the reedit IM:ul catastrophe in Bloomsbury. So fearful a loos of life caused by such • petty conflagration aftrela a startling illustration of • great and daily hazard which must, one would think, call immediate attention to the necessity for remedial measures. This casualty, however, belongs to that class of occurrences which make us " wise after the event," and I take advantage of it to deal your attention to a threatened calamity the probability of which WM some time since foretold in a leading article in your own columns—l allude to the awful risk of human life incurred by the inadequacy of the egress at Exeter-hall. Although • " fanatic° per la music," I have recently avoided the mat. nificent concede given at that plat*, because any enjoyment derivable therefrom *,a, in my cue, completely destroyed by the unavoidable contemplation of tho horrible result which must follow any panic occurring among that imprisoned and pent-up mass of between three and four thousand human beings. The construction of this gigantic " trap" is such that more than half an hour is frequently consumed in the quiet dispersion of the assembled throng. What then would be the effect of a sudden rush among that dense mass—choking up the three or four narrow doorways—impelled by the frantic energy of a modal terror P It must be borne in mind that it does not require • born: fide accident to happen : a piece of plaster falling from a cornice—an unfounded alarm of fire—any ill grounded pink raised by imaginative timidity, or speculative rurality, may, in a few seconds, cause the loss of hundreds of lives. If it be said that I belong to disclose of nervous alarmists, I can justify myself by what really hap pened at the Surrey Gardens Music-hall. Only a few weeks before that fatal accident I was present at • crowded concert there ; and on expressing to some I elands my apprehension. of what a panic might oc casion, I was treatU. as • nervous alarmist. The result, however, justified my fears—l trust I may not prove to bees true a prophet with respect to Exeter-hall. Should a catas trophe, however, take place there, let it now be distinctly placed on record that the propriettwa of the building have hen long since forewarned, and are well aware that a com paratively trifling outlay would provide sufficient facility of urns from their room. As, however, they refuse to incur this cost, it may be reasonably inferred that their estimate of the value of human life is evremely low, and their stale of moral responsibility proportionably smalf.—l am, &c, City, April 1. L . H. 7421,1 L COLLISION IN THE IRISH CHANNEL A collision of an alarming description took place early on Sunday morning last in the Irish Ch a nnel, near the Mull of Galloway, by tae running down of the brig Albion, Captain Starkey, master, bound to Belfast, by the Tubal Cain, screw nesturr, front Westport for Liverpool. Captain Butler, commander of the steamer, made the fol lowing report yesterday to Lloyd's, respecting the unfor tunate occurrence —" The Tubal Csia left Westport on the 25th ultimo; at 4.45 a.m. a Sunday, the 28th , was off the Mull of Galloway, it bearing S. and by W. about four miles' distant; the wind was moderate, blowing from the 8.W., smooth water, but weather rather foggy. The steamer was steering S.E. and by ; she had the usual Admiralty lights exhibited, and was going at the rate of about di knots per hoar. Suddenly the lookout on the port fore gangway sang out, ' A sail, on the port bow.' Immediately ordered the helm hard a-port, which was done, and the engine* stopped and reversed. Saw the vowel at the same time. She ap peared to be • schooner or a brigantine, on the port tack, and that she was cowing up in the wind ; and is order to do this her helot must have been starboarded. She had no light of any description exhibited. Almost Instantly the vessels came Into collisio the port bow of the steamer striking the vessel near the starboard fore rigging. Her crew, who seemed to be all on deck at the time, immediately scrambled on board the steamer, all succeeding, except one mat, who it is supposed fell overboard in the attempt, and met with a watery grave. A boat was In a few seconds lowered from the steamer, but nothing wee to be discerned of the vessel—she had disap peered, but whether in the fog, or had foundered, they were unable to ascertain. The steamer remained near the spot till daylight, by which time the fog Lad cleared off and the weather was quite clear. The schooner, however, was not to be seen, Waving no doubt but that she had gone down." SHOCKING MURDERS AND SUICIDE AT LBRWICIC. (From yesterday's Seotsmats.) On Thursday morning last the inhabitants of Lerwick were appalled by the intelligence that Mr. Peter Williamson, for many years en influential and enttrpriatng merchant, proprietor, and farmer, had destroyed the lives of his wife, a son aged 14 years, • daughter aged 12, another aged four-and-a-half years, and that he had completed the terrible tragedy by committing suicide. The manner in which the unfortunate man accomplished his apparently de terminal and premeditated purpose was by the use of • hammer or cleaver and razor, with the former of which he stems to have wormed his victims, and thereafter cut the throat of each, commencing, eats supposed, with his wife, and then killing his eldest girl, who was is bed unwell, sleeping with her mother. Leaving their apartment, he seems to have entered a room in which his youngest girl slept, and by the same dreadful process destroyed her. Proceediog thereafter to an upper room whtre be had slept the previous night with his two boys, be succeeded in killing the youngest; but the eldest, alter being severely cut about the throat and head, managed to escape and conceal himself in another mom. The unhappy man, having thus effected the destruction of his wife and children, appears to have returned to his wife's bed room with his youngest girl's body, and there destroyed him self by cutting his throat in the most frightful manner. These shocking murders are supposed to have commenced about half-past five o'clock, while all the inmate■ were asleep, as shout half-an-hour after Mrs. Williamson was found still in life, although she died Immediately afterwards, her husband lying not far from her quite deed, and his youngest girl placed between hie knees with her head nearly severed from her body. Fortunately one of the family, a boy, was at the time alas log in the country with some friends, and thus escaped she general slaughter. The eldest son, about trixteen years of aim,who made hisescape from the murderous assault of his parent, although now lying in • very precarious condi tion, is thought likely to recover. It is stated that at a late hour on Wednesday evening Mr. Williamson transacted business with two or three comfier ( ial gentlemen, none of whom observed anything unman! in his conduct. As he was understood to be in comfortable cir cumstance., no reason can be assigned for the perpetration of this fearful crime, although it is conjectured that hie mind had been aff,eted for some shun time past. The day for the interment of the bodies up to Monday last was not fixed, the authorities having been &Wrote. to make a searching investi gation into the shocking occurrence. 002EA0E8 BF 413111Eradir MAIL/MEM LIFER. lIML.—ONI MAN MILLED IND ANOTIIIR 8107.

This was an action to recover damages for Injuries sus tained by the plaintiff while travelling upon the above rail way, in consequence , as was alleged, of the negligence of the defendants. Mr. B. James, Q C., Mr. Bevil', Q.C., and Mr. Baddeley, were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Hawkins, Mr, Rocbfort Clarke, and Mr. Honeyman, were fur the company. The point involved in this cause was a rather different one to those usually in question in actions o f thi s description. The accident that was the subject of inquiry occurred on the 13th of August, 1867, when, it appeared, there was a terrific thunder-storm, accompanied by torrents of rain. The plaintiff was a traveller by the mail down train, and upon its arrival at Newark there was a tremendous flood, the con sequence of which was that the embankment of the railway was to a certain extent washed away, the train fell In, and the plaintiff received very serious injuries —indeed so serious, that it was doubtful whether he would not suffer from them to the end of :his existence. It was contended on behalf of the company that there was no negligence on their part to render them liable for the consequences of the accident, end that it was purely owing to the sudden flood, over whic h they had no control. The inriniturned • verdict for the plaintiff—dsm•ges 1,6001., some points of law being reserved for further con sideration.

Isaac Hearn was indicted for sending a threatentag letter to Thomas Bruges, of Semington, to which he plc mid not guilty. Mr. Swayze prosecuted. The letter in question demanded an explanation respecting some deeds which appeared to have had no existence, and threatened to kill the Fomenter in the event of such expla• nation not being forthcoming. Mr. Kenrick, a surgeon, gave it as his opinion that the prisoner was insane at the time ; end The learned judge accordingly directed the jury to return • verdict of bee Gulley.

The deceased was • market gardener, and the prisoner was in the habit of taking the produce of her gardens to the neighbouring markets.

He took hold of the deceased, and in t struggle that ensued she fell to the ground and shortly afterwards became insensible. A medical man was meat for, but the poor woman soon expired. The evidence went to show that the fall was accidental, and the jury, at the direction of his lordship, Acquitted the prisoner. George Marhant was indicted for the manslaughter of Ann Coombs.

This was an action brought by a young female, order 20 years of age, lately employed as a stewardess on board the steamer, Ti t er, trading 'between Hull and Hamburg, against the captain of the vessel. In April last year the Tiger wee lying at Hamburg, when the plaintiff, accompanied by two of the engineers, went out one night to some places of an:l[lW ment, and did not return on board until after midnight. The captain was in bed s and he had locked the cabin door in such a way that the plaintiff could not open it, although she had a key. She contrived, however, to get to her berth through the window of the emoking•nom. Next morning, according to the plaintiff's are, the captain abused her for stay ing out so late, threatened to discharge her, and soon afterwards came to her and insisted upon her leaving the ship at once. She declined doing so, believing that her reputation would be injured, but the captain still insisted, and ultimately callad the police. The girl refused to go, and the police tied her hands, and removed her. Her hands were bound so tightly that the blood started, end they were much injured. Tho captain told her he should place her on board another vessel, the Hannon* but she declined to be sent home th us , an d begged to be allowed to remain and return on board the Tiger. She was removed, however, by the police, and being still ob stinate In her refusal to be transferred to the Harmonia, was taken Snit to the consul's office, end then to gaol. During her detention by the police she struggled a good deal, and ' was repeatedly struck by the officers. It was for them assaults end alleged false imprisonment that compensation was sought by the preprint action. For the defence it was urged that the plaintiff was insubonlinate, negligent of duty, and impertinent to the captain; that the assault, complained of she bad brought upon hermit by her awn violence; and that, after tolerating her misconduct as long as he could, the defendant had done all in his power to procure her another ship, and had actually paid her wages up to the time of her dissatisfied, and also her passage home. In crosa•examination the captain admitted that he had indulged in a criminal intimacy with the plaintiff, though his wife was onboard at the time. A derument was put in, beings copy of certain pro.ved lags end exatninationp taken and made bete.* the Hamburg authorities, which tended considerably in the captain's favour, and showed that the plaintiff had acted in a most violent and outrageous manner, while, on the other hand, the captain had done all he could to induce her to leave the ship quietly end go on board another vessel. After sddreesea from learned counsel and the summing up of the judge, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 601. THE POLICE COUR2B.

Solicitor. appeared on both aides, Mr. Joseph Clayton, of 26,5, Strand, on being sworn, sold —I eat an adrertiairg agent, in partnerehip with another, trading under the name of the Mammoth Advertising Company." The prisoner entered my service on the sth November, 1858, as collector of advertisements, at a Wary of 3/. per week. It wan his duty simply to collect advertise ments, and be wee never anthorised to receive payments. Some time in 1856 be brought en order from Mews. Cra mer and Beale, of Regent-street, which was duly sweated. The amount upon that order was 51. 18a. On the 14th March following the prisoner was discharged from oar rervice. At no time was the prisoner authorised to receive moneys; In fact, he wax prohibited from doing so. He was consequently not authorised to receive the amount the subject of es pre sent inquiry. He bad never accounted for the same. In answer to the prisoneea ' , elicitor, Mr. Clayton said he had taken proceedings against the prisoner at Bow-street about MIL weeks ago. On that occasion the prisoner was charged with fraud. The prisoner proposed the scheme of the Arlwrtising Company to me, and afterwards introduced Mr. Dimond. Would swear the prisoner wee never to have a share in the Widow. It was arranged that if prlareer's service, turned out well end successful, they were nibs taken into onseideration. When he was dismissed our employ he claimed fora fortnight's notice. When the rase was brought before Mr. Hell, at Bow-street, it wee reommended that an arrangement should be some to. Mr. John Blame., clerk in the berme of MOW.. Cramer and Beale, said the primmer bronchi to bim the bill produced for 51. IRs.. on the 25th March, 1857, and he indoreed it to the wider in the nand way for payment. Mr. Robert Watson, rambler to the last-mentioned firm, paid the amount in potation to the Derwin presenting the order, and obtained a receipt signed "J. Edward.. Sergeant Crocker, 9C, apprehended the prisoner, who asked on telling him the charge, why they were going to try that matter over again f The defendant', solicitor said if Mr. Dimond were present, he could clearly ;how that his client at no time considered himself dismissed. Mr. Dimond here stepped forward, and on being sworn, said—l am an advertising agent, and have known the pri soner slightly between five and six years. In 1856 he sub mitted to me a scheme for advertising upon canvas to be put up in vacant owes over the metropolis. I approved of the scheme. and on going into the country some short time after wards the prisoner wrote to me for 251., which he said was to go on with, and if not successful the mousy was to be re turned. I let blot have the maw. On cons-examinstion the witness said, the prisoner had the 25/. on condition that if the scheme turned out sucosetful a deed of partnership was to he drawn up. In November, 1856, he joined Mr. Clayton in partnership. Defendant's solicitor contended that it was clear from the evidence his client had never been dismissed. and that he always considered himself a partner ' • that like many other Pawnee, the misnner, who bad been the originator of this, had been regularly shouldered out alit. Ile considered there had been no ground whatever for the course which had been adopted in giving his client Into custody. Mr. Beadon said be had given every attention to the evidence, and was cloarly satiated the cam had not been msde out. He certainly should not send it for trial; the defendant must be discharged.
