THAMES. r ag RETRAORDINART CASE OF SEDUCTION.-COMMITTAL OP THE PRISONER& (Ins' topher Ole,su, a native of Holland, aged 65, and a p i c kle merchant, of Crispin-lane, Spitalfields, and lately des/ling in Tredegsz-place, Bow, and Ellen Houghton, ki ed 34, of No. 17, Stafford-row, Tredegar-road, Bow, were w ei ght before Mr. Paget for final examination, charged, s pan' the 55th section of the act relating to offences avast the person, with the abduction of Mile Elizabeth Tam under the age of 16 years, from the custody of her pants. yr. Charles Young, solicitor, again conducted the pro secution ; the prisoners were defended by Mr. Bailey, the barrister, and Mr. Stoddart, solicitor for Houghton alone. yr. H. Allen, the prosecuting officer of the Associate Insti tution for Improving and Enforcing the Laws for the Pro tection of Women, to which society; Mr. Tolley originally applied, watched the case. The evidence did not materially add to the facts already published. There was no doubt that the prisoners had entered into a conspiracy to induce Miss Tolley to leave her home and proceed to Paris, where Okius was to marry her, and that he bad promised to re ign • divorce from his wife, who, he said, wee living away t e m him. On the other hand, the able cross-examination d Xt. Bexley revealed the fact that the young lady was a l a* instrument in the hands of the prisoners. She said it ass by her express wish and desire Mn,s Houghton s acmpanied her to Redhill, Folkestone, Boulogne, sad Paris. She received several letters from Mr. Olefins. None were so affectionate as the letter ' , i d yesterday. Mr. Olefins never said anything improper t o le, either by letter or word of month. He never used s e improper word to her. Mr. Henley wished the words " be has never used an indecent or an immodest word to me "to be put down. Xr. Paget said that Mr. Pyer, the chief clerk, had tats down the words of the witness very correctly, bet the words suggested by the learned counsel might be added, with the words also expressed by the witness "in my opinion." He (Mr. Paget) was of a different opinion. A man of 70 who had sent twice ten thousand kisses to a 'tang lady of 15 had made use of very improper words. Mr: Braley—He is not 70. He is 54.. Mr. Paget—That don't materially alter the matter. Mr. Charles Young—He is 65 and bald headed, and talked about marrying the girl while his wife is living. Inspector Kemeny, of the K division, produced kid gloves, white cuffs, and a handsome valentine, presented by Olefins to Miss Tolley. _ . Mr. Bexley—The flowers in the valentine are forget•me nota Very appropriate. In answer to Mr. Staidart, Miss Tolly said that the pri - Kw did or said nothing to induce her to leave home. The depositions were then read, and Mr. Paget committed the prisoners for trial. WANDSWORTH. IMPORTANT CASE UNDER THE BUILDING ACT. Mr. A. Smith, of the British Flag, in Culvert•road, Bat tersea, appeared before Mr. Dayman to answers summon' at the instance of Mr. Taylor, the district surveyor, for erecting a wooden building, contrary to the provisions of the Budding Act. The building complained of was a skittle-alley shed, 34 by 12, placed on a vacant piece of ground close to a public road, and just opposite the British Flag beer-house. The defendant at first disputed that it was a building, and said it was a carriage, which could be removed on wheels. Mr. Taylor's clerk explained to the magistrate th►t the building was a skittle alley, and its use had been com plained of by the vestry. Mr. Hayman pointed out to the defendant that he might put a house on wheels, but by doing so it would not cease to be a house. He also said that, according to the present mechanical contrivances, anything could be moved, even to St. Paul's Cathedral. The defendant then stated that he constructed the building for sale. He described it as a portable skittle alley, and he wanted time to enable him to dispose of it. Mr. Hayman Said a man could not be permitted to endanger other buildings while lie waited for a customer. He (Mr. Hayman) had no doubt it was a building within the meaning of the act. It appeared to him that the defendant first violated the law, and then asked for an indulgence. He ordered him to take down the building within three days, and told him that in the event of his not complying he would render himself liable to a penalty of 20/. a day during such default. The defendant said he could not remove it in three days. He should take the roof off, and convert the remainder of of the shed into a fence, and then it would not be a building. Mr. Nyman said his order would be to take the building down in three days, and to pay 2s. coats. The defendant complied at once with the latter part of the order by paying the 2a.

The debate on the second reading of the Repre sentation of the People Bill, which has now lasted four nights, will be resumed at the sitting this evening; but the hopes generally entertained that a division would be taken this week are not likely to be realised. If the debate goes over Monday, there is little hope of getting private members to make way for it on Tuesday— s° that it could not be resumed until Thursday, aad maY quite possibly not be concluded until Friday (27th). ELECTION COMMITTEES.--(THIS DAY. )—Before the Brid;water committee to-day the evidence in favour of the sitting member was proceeded with, and fresh wit nesses were examined by the Maidstone committee. The Emperor Napoleon, on learning the attempt made on the Emperor of Russia's life, at once sent off by telegram the expression of his satisfaction at the Czar's Pe. Cardinal d'Andrea, whom the Pontifical govern ment has frequently censured for remaining away from his cPizeopsd see, at Subiaco, has written a letter to Mgr. Bericoli, the legate of the Province of Frosinone, in which Subiaco is situated, expressing his willingness to return if the governor of the provinoe would only guarantee him against an attack from brigand/. Mgr. Pericoli replied rehuing to give any guarantee of the kind. Cardinal d'Audrea immediately published the legate's letter, and of mune continues to reside in Naples. " The Spanish ambassador at Paris," says the Siede, "is now carrying on negotiations with the view of B *u joining the arrangement entered into between Pace, Belgium, Italy, and Switzerland, relative to the circulation of coined money. This would necessitate the adoption by that date of a currency of the same value se that adopted by the four powers just mentioned." THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 20, 1866. THE SICK POOR IN SHOREMTCH WORKHOUSE. INQUEST AND SPECIAL VERDICT.--(THIS DAY.) SHARE L. !is DAY.) Owz o'CLocic.

The inquest was held in compliance with the request of the child's father, who made a written application to the coroner, stating hat he and by wife had been driven by poverty to enter the Shoreditch workhouse and that although his wife was in a state of extreme ex haustion from her recent confinement and absolute want of food, she got no nourishment fit for her condition, not evens cup of tea, until she fainted away and could nurse the child no longer, and that after that occurrence the child was so neglected that it died from that cause. Edward Griffiths being sworn, said that he entered the Shoreditch Workhouse on the 27th March. He was a boilermaker's assistant by trade. For two or three days before he and his wife underwent privation—his wife had no food. The deceased child was only six weeks old when it died. When witness's wife went into the house she was in a very weak state from want and privation. She suckled the child till about six or seven days after she went into the house, when she fainted away from exhaus tion. She was taken sway then to the Infirmary. The - child was left in the care of an inmate nurse. Witness had frequent opportunities while working about the house, 81 Of seeing the child. When he saw it no care was being sa taken of it. It was left lying down and quite cold. He 24 used to take its little cold hand in hie, and it seemed SI to like the heat. The child was too weak to 84 4 make a noise, and it got very little attendance in consequence. Him wife told the workhouse doctor when she entered the house that she bad been suffering from want of food. Her diet, however, was only 12 i tr:tl ca. s of c! t ee i t o a t pint a Fru three :: ; suet pud oo di d ni ° twi t_ twice vegetables (potatoes).) She had no b li es: or 'tea or sugar. The cause of the child'. death was neglect on the part of the doctor and the nurse. It was the matron's duty to see the child daily, but he believed she never saw it. If he had stopped out of the house he believed that the child would be now alive. Witness had got a little out-door relief-3a. and two quartern loaves In a fort night—but on the day he went into the house upon his applying again for relief he was told that the board would rve no more out-door ratkf, and be should come into the o we, which he did. Wither had never illtreated his wife. He had another child, 4 years old. In the year 1857 he had enlisted in the army. Ann Griffiths, a weakly-looking woman, said that she i t remembered her huabsnd going on the 27th March for si some relief, and his coming back, saying that they would Si give him nothing but an order to come into the house. lc She continued to suckle the child, though very weak, 1( until she one day fainted. The doctor said that it l, " was an idle excuse," when she said that she could l a hardly suckle the child from weakness. She only had meat 24 once before she went into the sick ward, but now she I had it every day. She had been in the house • week and St a day before she went into the sick ward. The nourish- F, ment she got was not sufficient for her. (With the exoep yt - tion of the allowance of meat three times • week, the wit- i t nese corroborated her husband's evidence as to the is quantity of food she got.) The child was neglected in the St feeding of it. Before going into the sick ward witness got St neither milk, tea, nor sugar. She got gruel twice a day. Her husband did not Muse witness before the child was ; born. He did what he could fur her. st By the Jury—Witness saw the matron once before she it went into the sick ward and twice after. Witness saw It her child three times in the sick ward. At the end of the St first week it was still very well St Elisabeth Grosvenor , a pauper nurse in the nursery, sa id a l that when Ann Griffiths came in there were 14 children st and 11 women in the nursery. Some of the children had St no mothers. Witness was the only nurse, but women were 81 sent to mind children during the day. The child, Edward St Griffiths, was fed on bread and milk and arrowroot. The ', B , master ordered it to be fed on bread and milk, kc. A 1 , 1 breakfast cup full of arrowroot was served out since s t yesterday week. Before that time the children were fed st on break and milk and beef tea. The children so fed were it 10 months, 11 months, and two years old. Witness was SI not paid anything, but she got ball a pint of beer, tea, sugar, and meat daily, as extras. The dead child was not neglected. It was placed on • bed, and covered with a blanket when asleep. When it awoke witness nursed it. 8 Lest Friday the child fell ill, and the doctor saw it. The 1 arrowroot was given to it after it fell ill. The matron visited Vie nursery daily. The child died on Monday last. It received proper medical attendance. Mr. S. Andrews, relieving officer, said that Griffiths came to him on the 25th February, and witness visited the case in Dorset-street, and gave relief, and a work order. The man came twice drunk. On the 3rd of March the woman was confined, and witness gave relief. The hus band had then left her some days. On the 27th of March witness saw the man again drunk, and, finding the woman . in a state of great neglect and want, he thought the beet thing for her would be to take her into the workhouse. 14 The work order was for breaking atones, at which a man 1: oould earn 2s. or 3s. a day, and would then get an extra It quartern loaf gratis. 11 Mr. Jonathan Hutchinson, surgeon to the London Hos 11 - pital and three other hospitals, said that he made a post- lt mortem examination of the deceased. The body was some what emaciated. The left eye was gone. The child was healthy. There was no organic disease. Death resulted from diarrhoea. The mother when suckling the child should have had more nutritious diet than she hail. With proper diet she might have suckled the child, and then the diarrhoea might not have taken place. Mr. J. Clarke, surgeon to Shoreditch workhouse, said that he saw the woman on the 29th of March. He (lid not order her extra nourishment, because it was necessary to go on gradually, aa she had been suffering from want of food. He treated the child, and did his best to save it. The Master of the Workhouse said that the woman Grif fiths was wrong in stating that she got meat only once during the first eight days she was in the house. The regular allowance was meat three times a week. The Coroner said that the charge of neglect of the child rested entirely on the allegations of the father, and was hardly borne out. But it certainly did seem strange that the mother of the child, entering the house almost in a state of starvation and suckling her child, should not have got extra nourishment until she actually fainted away while endeavouring to perform her duty as a mother. The jury, after deliberating, returned a verdict, " That the deceased child, being an infant of tender age, died in Shoreditch Workhouse, from natural causes ; and the jurors are of opinion that the diet ordered by the surgeon to the mother of the deceased, on her admission to the workhouse, was not sufficient for a woman in her condition.' WEST FLANDERS RAILWAY.-{THIS DAY. The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held this afternoon, at the company's offices, 61, Moorgate street ; the President, Mr. It. TEMPLE FRERE, in the chair. The report of the directors states that since the railway has been banded over to the Societe d'Exploitation they have every reason to believe, in accordance with the report of the Directeur-Gerant, that it has been kept in a very satisfactory condition, and the receipts from traffic returns have continued to increase. The statement of accounts for the half-year shows that after providing for the fixed charges there remains a balance of 8,8171. lfis. 4d., out of which the directors propose to pay a dividend of 4s. 9d. per share, payable on and after the 15th May next, and to carry forward a balance of 2,4631. Os. 7d., which is not more than sufficient to pay the call upon the company for bonded interest and current expenses accruing before the next payment from the Societe d'Exploitation. In accordance with the resolution passed at the last meet ing, the agreement with the Societe d'Exploitation as to the reservation of certain number of bonds for distri bution amongst the shareholders has been rescinded. Ac cording to the report of Messrs. Hutt and Browne in 1964, 143 shares were then extant in excess of the statutable number,. 78 of these have been received and cancelled. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, observed that it had reference mainly to the manage ment of the Societe d'Exploitation, to whom the line had been leased. That company appeared to be looking to the future as well as the present, and at the same time there was a gradual increase of traffic. The arrangement made with regard to the bonds was all that could be desired. As to the balance carried forward, though large, it was not too much for the requirements of the company. Without such a reservation the board would not be able to meet accruing debts, and hence they deemed that course preferable to an increase of dividend. The number of shares in excess of the atatutable number, after the cancelling of the 78 referred to in the report, was 6.5. They had in their chest sufficient to meet that number. which would be issued as the 65 came in. The excess did not arise from any fraud, but from an additional number which was discovered to have been issued in the , ar rangements with the Belgian government. In con clusion, he stated that it was intended to ' reduce the number of directors to four, the board reserving to themselves the right of increasing the number here after to five, if they considered that necessary After a short discussion, the reportw e rMpted, and a dividend of 41. 9d. per share declared. On Tuesday next Mr. Buxton will present a petition from the civil servants employed in the Revenue Department, for the removal of the political disabilities under which they at present labour. This morning wan issued for the information of parliament a return, occupying 147 pages, of the annual amounts of the several manufacturing establishments under the Wer-ofßee for the year 1864-5. A blne-book was published to-day, in which is contained an Admiralty order for assembling a committee of naval &Boers appointed to examine the design of a sea going turret ship submitted to the Admiralty by Captain Coles. The committee was composed of Vice-Admiral the Earl of Lauderdale, Rear-Admiral Yelverton, Captain H. Caldwell, Captain J. J. Kennedy, and Captain H. B. Plullintoes.

MINES.-(THIS DAY.) Oars o'CLocz. The mining market is quiet to-day, and the variations in prices are few and unimportant. Some of the present quotations are subjoined : Chiverton Moor, 51 to 6 ; Great Vor, 24} to 254 ; West Chiverton, 72} to 75 ; Wheal Seton, 260 to 210 ; Bryn Gwiog, 14 to 16 ; East Grenville, 2} to 3 ; and West Caradon, 81 to 9, call-1/.

The directors of the Otea Copper Mining Com pany (Limited) have made a call of ss. per share, payable by the 14th of May. Accompanying the aW letter is a circular affording particulars re specting the company's position and prospects. The Virginia, a new opera, in three acts, by Mercadante, was produced for the first time et the flan Carlo, in Naples, on the 7th inst. It is described as being eminently successful. The artists were called before the curtain fifty-three times during the representation. General Prim has taken his departure from Paris for Italy, leaving his wife, the Marquise de CastMejos, with his mother. He is said to be gone to be present at military InallCeUVrell about to take place in Italy,_ HAMBURG BRANDY V. CHARENTE.—We have heard that the city of Hamburg derived its name from the graphic, but not elegant, word " humbug," from the fact of all articles being counterfeited in that city. Our readers have heard sufficient about the vile decoctions of " Hambro' wines," but probably few are aware how " Hambro' brandy" is imported here. It that vessels are chartered at Hamburg and half appea rs with hogsheads and cases containing— Well, we will not say what ! but this we do assert, that the greater ports° . a is the commonest potato spirit, the re mainder of the cargo being made up with grain. Thus freighted she starts for Pardllac if the half-cargo con sists of wlne,but for Charente if with brandy. At Charente the grain is unloaded, and a few auks of brandy are pur chased. The agents of the vessel obtain the neemary papers and she sails for London, where the " Hambro' brandy" is landed as direct from the vineyards of Charente. Wise Trade Review. ONE o'CLocz. The transactions in stocks and shares to-day are not large, but prices generally are steady, not withstanding the somewhat unfavourable character of the Bank of England return. The market is still supported by numerous small investment. in the funds, and by the satisfactory tenor of the news from Germany. Consols are quoted the same as yesterday, and the same re mark applies to most of the British rail ways and foreign stocks. Amongst the latter there is a good demand for Turkish Bonds of 1862, which have further improved. Financial shares are unchanged, with the exception of a slight fall in Imperial Mercantile. The shares of the discount companies are rather lower. American securities have also given way to an unimportant extent. Grand Trunk of Canada Railway stock remains heavy. The demand for money to-day is moderate, and the supply large. The rate for the best paper, however, is firm, at 5i to 6 per cent. In the Stock Exchange short loans on Consols are still obtainable at 2 to 3 per cent. The Bank of France return shows this week an increase of 268,0001. in the coin and bullion, and of 546,500/. in the bins discounted. Consols are now quoted 86A to 87 for money, and 1 87 to i for the account (May 9). In the foreign stock market there is a good de mand for Turkish Bonds of 1862, which have ad vanced 1 per cent. Spanish Passive have also im proved i, while Turkish of 1865 have declined to the like extent. Mexican, Italian, Greek, and Spanish Certificates have been dealt in at steady quotations. The prices are as follows : Greek, 131 to ; Mexican, 201 to 21 ; Spanish Passive, 251 to 26 ; ditto Certificates, 151 to ; Turkish, 1862, 66 to 67 ; ditto, 1865, 34 to 1 ; Brazilian scrip, 21 to 21 dis., ex div. ; and Italian, ' 1861, 5.31 to 1. United States 5-20 Bonds, and Erie and Illinois Central Railway shares have declined per cent. The present prices are as follows :-5-20 Bonds, 691 to A ; Erie Railway shares, 531 to 541 ; and Illinois Central, 74 to 801. London, Chatham, and Dover Railway scrip is quoted to 1 prem., and the Viceroy of Egypt' s Loan, 1 to 1i prem. International Financial shares are now quoted to die. ; General Credit, to prem. ; London Financial, 4} to 31 die. ; Imperial Mercantile, 21, 1 to 2i die. ; Credit Fonder and Mobilier, 17 1 to lf prem. ; Overend, Gurney, and Company, 17 1 to 11 die. ; and National Discount, 71 to 8 prem. Amid the dismay which has been caused by the recent instances of collapse amongst joint stock companies, there is, perhaps, some danger that the balance may not be struck fairly between the advantages and disadvantages of the joint stock system. Even the suspension of Barned's Bank ing Company affords an illustration of the safe guards by which the public, regarded as creditors, are environed. A private concern may continue business, and live upon its creditors through many years of insolvency, as was the case with Messrs. Puget, Bainbridges, and Co., the pri vate bankers ; but a joint stock company is com pelled to come forward with a statement of its po sition at the end of every six or twelve months. In this periodical publicity there is a great element of safety, as speculative tendencies must inevitably be brought to the test of a comparatively short reckoning. But another main advantage of the modern joint stock system consists in the fact that, while the • position of the shareholders, besides being one of their own deliberate choosing, is clearly defined as regards pecuniary amount, espe cially under the law of limited liability, the cre ditors in nearly every instance on record have en joyed complete immunity from loss. So great is the glut of money in the Consol market, in consequence of the large investments by the public, that the rate for loans from day to day has fallen to 2 to 3 per cent. In some cases the dealers yesterday were glad to lend on Consuls fur nothing, in order to get possession of stock where with to meet their contracts. About 8,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank yes terday. The steamer Bremen, from New York, has brought 32,0001. in specie. The silver market is fiat, with little or no demand for the East, andbars are unsaleable at ss. lid. per ounce, being id. below the recent highest quota tion. There is also an absence of inquiry for Mexican dollars, and the price is nominal at ss. Oild. per ounce. The recent shipments of silver were mostly to Calcutta, and were exceptional. The demand for Bombay, on account of 'cotton, is not likely to revive for some time to come, especially considering the present state of the cotton market. The steamer Poonah will take to-day only 20,1211. in specie for the East, chiefly for China. The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed Monday, the 23rd instant, a special settling day in the English scrip of the Seven per Cent. Loan of his Highnesalsmael Pasha, Viceroy of Egypt, which is to be marked in the official list. The price closed t47)-day at to 14 prem. It is announced that Mr. William Dent, late chairman of the Joint Stock Discount Company, has found it necessary, on account of his connection with that mismanaged undertaking, to resign his seat at another board—that of the Credit Foncier and Mobilier of England (Limited). The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 3,5101. over last year; the North Eastern, an increase of 1,317/. ; the London and South Western, a decrease of 8071. ; the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, an increase of 548/. ; and the North British, an in crease of 1,1501. At the meeting yesterday of the shareholders of the Bank of British Columbia the undivided profits were stated at 17,2861., and a dividend was de clared at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, in addition to a bonus of se. per share, being together at the rate of 121 per cent. per annum for the half year. The amount carried forward is 1,6611. The City Offices Company (Limited) have made a call of Si. per share, payable in two instalments of 21. 10s. each, one on the Ist June and the other on the Ist September next. Warrants have this day been posted for payment of the half-yearly Seven per cent. Guaranteed Interest on the paid-up capital of the Central Argentine Railway Company. A petition for the winding-up of the Sea and River Marine Insurance Company (Limited) is to be heard before Vice-Chancellor Eindersley on the 27th inst. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, April 18, compared with that for the previous week, shows the following changes : Circulation issue Circulation active 22,303,795 Increase 258,440 Public deposits 4,045,459 Decrease 11,559 Other deposits Government securities in banking department 10,644,254 No change.

The India Five per Cent. stock continues in great demand, and has again risen. There was no change in Exchequer Bills, the March being quoted Bs. to 3s. dia., and the June be. die. to par. There were fewer transactions in the foreign stock market, but the tendency of prices was awn rather favourable. Turkish Bonds of 1858 and 1862 were in demand, and rose 1 and per cent. respectively. Those of 1865 also improved 4, Russian of 1862 4, and Mexican of 1864 and the Viceroy of Egypt's Loan, On the other hand, Confederate declined 4, and Mexican (old), Spanish Passive, and Certificates, 4. Danubian Bonds are without recovery from the late fall, being last marked 62. the amount of 406,1 W., have been repaid to the Bank, the decrease in the reserve becomes 603,4461. There is also a decrease of 345,006/. in the coin and bullion, and as the sum withdrawn for export during the week, on balance, did not exceed 150,0001., evidence of an internal drain is afforded.

There was only a limited supply of English wheat on sale iu our market to-day. For good and fine qualities l the demand ruled steady, at prices quite equal to Mtm . All other kinds moved off slowly, at late rates. We a slow sale for foreign wheat, the show of which moderately extensive ; nevertheless, the quotations were supported. The transactions in floating cargoes of grain were limited, on fmmer terms. The supply of English barley was rather limited ; of foreign extensive. The trade was in a sluggish state, at 'shoat stationary prices. Malt was in herd supply and fair request, at full cur rencies.' The show of oats was a full average, and sales progressed slowly, at last week's quotations. Beans were tolerably firm in price ; but tho inquiry for them was far from active. In peas, very little was doing. Prices, however, wee firm. Both English and foreign flour was very quiet at Mon day's currency.
