THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10, 1867. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. —F I. IVAN', A ..t's? 9. la the Ht 11.20: of loans yesterday, the Duke of MONTLOSI: laid on the table the 14,441 tonvention with the United states. lie stated that it effected $ reduction of the postage front l l 1. t-6 Cd., and he busted it would lead in a short time to a daily eumnitinieation. The United Stati government bad shown the utmost anxiety to f;.,i:itat c the com munication with the British colenie4. There was no idea of throwing the control of the postal ser vice into the hands of any foreip government. Th e rumour that they would do so was utterly ernmeous, aud arose from a suggestion made in the committee of the other house that the govern ment should avail themselves of the Messageries luneriales. . . . "hie Factories Extension Bill was rcad a second Cute. The Earl of PERKY fired Monday next for the consideration of the course taken by the House of Contmons with respect to the amendments of their lordships on the Representation of the People Bill, and said he would then make a statement on behalf d the government. The' Marquis of WesrintsTit said in consequence of the pressure of public business he would post pone his motion for a select committi.e to inquire into the reporting arrangements the house, but be renewed his complaints that his speeches had nut been reported, and that improper ::moorage had been used with respect to him. - . - The Earl of DERBY was glad the motion was withdrawn, for in his opinion the inquiry was un called for. He bore his testimony t' the general aceuracy and impartiality of the reports, but if there were any systematic agreement to ignore the noble marquis's speeches it would Le a breach of privilege. It appeared that impruper language had been used with regard to the uobie marquis by oue member of the press, but he did m 4 think the noble marquis was at all indebted to the friend who reported it to him. The Marquis of WESTMEATH said !te did not so much complain of the ribald language used towards him as of the threat nut to report ima.which might convey a stigma on his public character. The Factory Acts Extension Bill was read a second time. Several other hills were advance l a stage, and the house adjourned at 25 minute past seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Fainsv, Arcuwr 9. s the Houma of Connows, at the ruing sit ting, the reasons of the house for disagreeing with the Lords' amendments on the Representation of the People Bill, drawn up by the omiiiiittee ap pointed for that purpose, were brought up and agreed to. Mr. I:LAWMAN z gave notice of his intention next session to introduce a bill for the abolition of com pulsory church rates. The thisncsm.on of the Exi-nEor!.r. stated, on a renewed question put to him by Mr. F.twerrr, that the government do not contemplate any scheme touching university education in Ireland without previously consulting parliament. The Church Temporalities Orders (Ireland) Vali dation Bill, the Railway Companies Advances (Ireland) Bill, and the Merchant shipping Bill, were respectively read &third time and passed. The house then went into committee of supply, and several votes in class 4 (science and art) were agreed to. The sitting was suspended at ten minutes to 7 o'clock. The house re-assembled at nine o'clock, and again weld into committee of supply. On the vote of 25,0001. for the entertainment of foreign potentates, some discussion arose, Mr. AVRTON objecting to' the vote, which he maintained was practically in augmentation of the civil list. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the civil list had nothing to de With the vote. The visit of the Sultan was a national one, as was also that of the Pacha of Egypt. The vote was agreed to. The debate on the Irish education vote (344,7001.) was resumed by Sir J. GRAY ' who addressed the house at some length, contending that the mixed system had failed, and maintaining that denoniinat.onal grants should be made in Ireland, as in En4land. He moved the reduction of the vote by 23,500/., the amount asked for the model schools. The debate was continued by Mr. Powell, the O'Conor Don, Mr. Pollard - Urquhart, Mr. Whalley (who wandered into the teaching of the confessional, for which he was called to order), and Lord Naas, who stated that the royal com mission which it was proposed to ibsue to inquire into the state of primary education in Ireland, would not confine their inquiries to the education given in the national schools. The amendment was then withdrawn, and the vote was agreed to, and a sum of 7.;• 0. for the salary of the secretary and expenses of the office of the Commissioners of Education in Ireland, which was the last vote in supply, having been also passed, amid cheers, the house resumed. Some other business was disposed of, and the house adjourned at ten minutes past two. PAIRS ON THE VOTING PAPERS CLAUSE. r. tit nOrgraggler. Mr. it. rieuyon Mir P. Egerton Mr E. irKeill Mr. W.

HOME ClRCUlt—Csovhos, AUGUNT Baron Martin has been engaged during the day in dis posing of several special jury cases, but nearly the whole of them were either referred or otherwise disposed of without going to the jury. (Before Justice Blackburn and a Common Jury.) cuLtusai +. MOORE. —THE CIIRICTV Tios WAS an action brought by the plaintiff, a Pole, who carries on the profession of • sculptor, to recover twenty five guineas from the defendant, Mr. George Washington Moore. who is the celebrated " Bones" in the troupe of Christy's Minstrels, for • statuette, and twenty-five copies thereof, which he had m►de under a contract with the defendant. Serjeant Parry and Mr. Inderwick were counsel for the pl antiff ; Mr. Pearce appeared for the defendant. The ca.ai on the part of the plaintiff was that the de fendant in April last employed the plaintiff to make a statuette of him in the character of " Bones," and that the charge for this was to be five guineas, and he was besides to make twenty-five copies of the statuette in plaster, for which be was to be paid one guinea each. The plaintiff, it appeared. had asked the defendant after the second sitting, to pas hint half the five guineas, which he represented was the usual custom. but the defendant refused to do so, or to pay any money until the statuette was completed and delivorAd. The defendant, it appeared, would not give the plaintiff another sitting, and he was, therefore, unable to finish tl.e statuette, and the present action was brought to recover the amount to which he considered he was entit:ed under the oontract which be alleged he had entered into with the defendant. _ _ _ The case on the part of the defendant, and which he was called as a witnuis to prove, was that the plaintiff had first introduced himself to him and the troupe by repre- senting that be had had the honour of being intimately acquainted with the late much lamented Artemus Ward, and that this had rocured him the privilege of taking a bust of the deara and that he was in a condition to supply correct copies of that bust. The defendant rind several others of the minstrels troupe were on vary inti mate terms with the deceased gentleman, and were on that account most anxious to posse.. copies of the bust, and • number were ordered an paid for. On this it was alleged that the plaintiff induced the defendant to give him an order for a statuette of himself ; but at the time the plain tiff applied for the half of the amount that was to be raid. It was discovered, or at least it was alleged, that the plaintiff had never even seen Artemue Ward. far lass taken • bust of him after death, and the defendant then refused to pay until the completion of the statuette, in order that he might judge whether it was a correct likeness or not before he parted with his money. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for five guineas, and Serjeant Parry applied for a certificate to entitle the plaintiff to costs, but the learned judge refused to grant one, and each party will consequently have to pay his own costs. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.— NORWICH, Acuvsr 9. (Before Mr. Justice /Wes.) Hur:,arl Limgles, 22, ! a woodman, was indicted for the wilful murder of Benjamin Black, at Barton Bendish, on the 17th of May last ; he was also charged with the tame offence en the coroner's inquisition. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Drake appeared for the prosecu tion ; and Mr. Sims Reeve defended the prisoner. This case, which appeared to create great interest, was commeneyesterday, and occupied the whole of the day. The trial was resumed this morning, and the court was again densely crowded. About forty wit neseea were called on behalf of the prosecu tion. but the facts of the case were simple, and shortly as follows. The deceased, who was the prisoner's uncle, resided at Barton Bendish, and was head woodman on an estate belonging to Sir Hanson Barney, the prisoner being a woodman under him. At about 4 o'clock in the moruilig of the 17th May, he got up and went as usual to a wood mar his house, and after he had been absent from hi, holm for about the time that it would take him to rea..ll the wood, his wife heard the report of a gun in the direction of the wood, and it was also heard by several other persons. At about aquarter past 6 some labourers who were going to work found the deceased lying dead just inside the wood, and he was still bleeding from shot wounds in his face and left side. The prisoner had on the previous day been working mar the wood, and when the men called he came to them from his work, which was about 300 yards from where the deceased was lying, end though be ought to bus been at work cleaning out a wet ditch, they noticed that his shovel was quite clean. He exhibited great die tress at finding that his uncle was dead. At the time the deceased was found be had nopurse or money in his pocket, and his watch chain was broken, but the watch was left in the pocket. There were no appearances of a struggle, but the gate was pulled off its hinges, and a broken bottle was lying close by, to which the prisoner called attention. and it was suggested by the counsel for the prosecu tion that these things and the broken watch-chain were left so by the murderer to induce the belief that there had been a violent struggle. To connect the prisoner with the murder it was shown that he had repeatedly threatened the decimeed, end that he bad astrongobjection to his being head woodman, and bad often complained of his treatment, and threatened to do for him. This apparently created sus picion against him,and onthe following day he was askedby a policeman where his gun was, and after denying that he had a gun at all, he said that it was at the house of another uncle He was taken to the house and pointed out a gun which he said was his, and on his uncle denying this fact, and stating that the gun was his own and had been out of the bowie, the prisoner was taken into custody. After he bad been in custody a short time he said that as 50 people knew he had a gun he would show them where it was, and he accordingly pointed it out to the policeman concealed in the wood a very short distance from where the deceased was found. It had an ' exploded capon it, and had evidently been recently fired off. To explain the concealment of the gun the prisoner said that as soon as the men called him and he saw that his uncle was shot, be felt that having • gun with him would raise a suspicion against him, and that he therefore went and hid it; but several of the witnesses for the prosecution said that they never lost sight of the prisoner after the body was found, and that it was not the fact that he con cealed the gun at the time be said he did. On further search being made in the wood, a powder flask belonging to the prisoner was found concealed in a hollow tree, and caps corresponding with that on the gun were found at his house, and also a shot flask containing No. 4 and No. 5 shot mixed. It was proved that two days before tbo murder the prisoner purchased some shot from • grocer in the village—that be asked for very large shot, and selected No. 2, which are larger than are used for ordinary purposes. These shot were wrapped up in what is called sugar paper, which corresponded exactly with • small piece of paper found about a yard from the deceased, and on a post mortem examination being made 15 No. 2 shot were extracted from the body. In addition to this it was proved that shortly after the murder the prisonerexpreased a wish to purchase part of • pig killed by a neighbour, but said he had no money. The deceased when he left his house had a purse and at least Ai. Gd. in his pocket, and it was shown that during the day of the murder the prisoner spent various sums, which with 3s. Bjd. after. wards found upon him made up tia. 3d. The prisoner when before the magistrate made a statement to the effect that he did not like to let it be known that he bad a gun as his muter did not allow it ; that he had kept the gun a long time unknown to anybody but his wife, and that on the morning of the murder, while the witnesses were searching about in the wood, he became alarmed lest he should be suspected, and concealed the gun where it was found. _ . Mr. Sinirßoeve addressed the jury for the prisoner, and contended that the case rested entirely on circumstantial evidence,snd that manylinks in the chain of that evidence were wanting. His Lordship summed up with great care, and The jury, after an absence of about 20 minutes, re turned a verdict of Umilly. ... . . His Lordship, in passing sentence, earnestly exhorted the prisoner to pay attention to the religious instruction which would be given him, and which alone could fit him to meet his impending doom. NORTHERN CIRCUIT. —MANCHERTZR, Aro. 9. NIII Pairs Cogs?.—(Before Chief Justice Buell.) NEWNAN, ADMINISTRATION, r. LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAT COMPANY.-RAILWAY ACCIDENT. Mr. Serjeant Symon and Mr. Pope were for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Quain and Mr. Higgin for the defendant. the plaintiff is Mrs. Priscilla Newman, widow of Mr. R. B. Newman, senior partner in a firm of importers of meerschaums, sticks, Ice., from the Con tinent, and she sought compensation for herself and children for loss sustained through the death of her husband, which is alleged to be in consequence of the negligence of the defendants' servants. In February last Mr. Newman was returning from the Staffordshire Pot teries. and when, in the evening, the train arrived at the station in Manchester (according to witnesses who were in the train) the carriages stopped for a moment or two, and then started again, with a jerk, and went forwent several yards. At the time the train first stopped Mr. Newman got out on to the step, and the jerk of starting again threw him off, and he fell between the train and the platform. lit was badly hurt, and died in hospital. For the defence a number of witnesses were called to show that the train never stopped till it stopped finally, and that the accident was in consequence of Mr. Newman getting out before the train stopped. The evidence of a stoppage was strong for the plaintiff, a person in the same compartment as Newman stating that before Newman got out, not only had the train stopped, but seve ra l persons bad got out before him. One wi'ness (Mr. Phillips, the comedian) stated that lie was about to get out when New. man obtained precedence, and that witness was thrown down upon a seat by the jerk caused by the train starting again, and which caused Newman's death. Nearly a dozen witnesses, porters, cabmen. and setvanta of the company, on th e c ontrary, swore that the train never stopped and went on again, though one of them admitted that he sig nalled the driver, so that be slackened speed by shutting off steam, and then had to turn the steam on again.

The most brilliant weather was accorded to the meeting which was inaugurated to-day on the beautiful undulating downs of Lewes, than which there are few nicer course* in England. A cool breeze swept over the spot, anti tempered the hot sun which shone forth on the gay carriage company which lined the course on either side. The well filled programme which was issued by Mr. Verretl was enough to ensure a large attendance, lode pendently of the natural &Wartime of the Lewes meeting and the patronage which was likely to accrue from it, follow ing In the wake of the Brighton meeting. As will he seen from the appended return the fields were large, and the major parts of the contests close and exciting, one of them, the Selling Nursery, terminating In • dead heat between Rampart and Lily.

CASTEARURY, ArarsT 9. MAITMOttit CLrfs v. COUNTY or Kern (twelve a aide .—The first bell rang for clearing the ground at half-past eleven this morning, and a few minutes later the M.C.C. were at their re spective places in the field, and Mr. Money, the "not out" o f last night, was faced by Mr. Alexander, the Eton captain. The bowling was commenced by Mr. Grace, who finished his lover to Mr. Alexander. Mr. Rose trundled from the opposite wicket, and delivered five oven for one run—a single, by Mr. Money. Mr. Grace bowled three oven for one run of the bat ; then Sir. Alexander opened his shoulders, and drove him Baty to the off for three, all along the ground. In Mr. Rose's sixth over, Mr. Money got the first hall to leg for two, and in Dr. Gram's seventh over he carried away Mr. Alexander's leg stump-4 for 40. Next on the order was Bennett, who, after getting • single to slip, made two flue leg hits off Mr. Rose fee a couple each, and fohowed them up in Dr. Grace's next over, with an on-drive and • leg hit each for two. With the score at 57 Captain Campbell— after infringing law 14—went on at Mr. Rose's end, and started with a wide. The next bell proved fatal to Bennett, who was well caught at slip by Mr. 11'Corralck-5 for 58. The promising Kent colt Palmer, now became associated with Mr. Money, who carefully defended his stumps. Palmer cut a ball hard, which glanced from Mr. Grace's hands at point to Mr. Fellows at cover point, but Mr. Nicholson put down the wicket without having the hall in hand, and so he escaped being run out. He now got one of Captain Campbell's well to leg for two, and off the following ball was caught by "Sr. Mitchell sully at mid-on—a bad hit—S for 641. Mr. Thornton, as per usual, hit away at once, commencing with a lour to square leg off the Captain. He then got • two off Dr. Grace in the slip, and in his next over an off-drive for four and a single. Mr. Nicholson in Captain CampbelPs following over, very cleverly stumped Mr. Thornton, who had put on 13, while his partner only booked a single. 'this made the seventh Kent wicket for 82, the county being still 72 to the bad, when Willsher went in. Most of the nuts were now got off Dr. Grace, Captain Campbell bowling at this time sixteen balls without any score being made off him. Villisiber got two to leg from the Captain, and In the same over made two good hits, a cut, and off drive, which were finely fielded by Captain Rose and Mr. Mitchell respectively. Dr. Grace's next over was a barren cue, but Willsher "camped" the second hall of the Captain's away to long off for four. Mr. Money disposed of one cleverly to leg for a single, and of another for two at the opposite wicket. Willsher next made • fine leg hit for three off Captain Campbell, and then be was adroitly stumped by Mr. Nicholson • very close thing-8 for 97. Carroll now joined the H a r row , being his seventh partner. Dr. Rose soon fri a l t eused him to go in at a slow, which failing W "cover," he, of course, had to pay the usual penalty-9 her 67. Mr. Money had yet another partner, in the person of Meaty, the Kent wicket keeper—at which juncture Mr. Fellows went on bowling at Cap : fain Campbell's end. Henty mule a single to the on-side oft Dr, Grace, which cswied three figures to be ppososted. 11° t hen I got a Ito otr lw bawler co g tDCTelrltailtlll.7 ln abi l steiceet_. In trllngtsome mil to leg, he put one up which the wicket keeper took care of 10 for 103. The last of the Kent twelve. and Sir. Moneys ninth partner, was Mr. Lipscomb, who drove Mr. Grace to long on for 2, and in the same over was very finely caught with the lett hand, high up, by the bowler. Mr. Money ;who went In first wicket down) carried out his bat for nineteen runs, fifteen of which were singles. Ills defence—beck play especially— was very fine. Thus at 1.30 the match terminated for 105 runs, Kent being beaten inn single innings by the Marylelsore Club— who played a very strong team—by 59 nuns. The M.C.C. bowling in this innings comes out as under:—Mr. Rose, B) oven, 9 maidens, 23 runs, 1 wicket, and 1 wide : Dr. Grace, 43 oven, 19 mabiens, 48 runs, 7 wickets: Captain Campbell. 17 oven, in maidens, 19 runs, 3 wickets, and 1 wide ; Mr. Yellows, 8 oven, 4 maidens, Y rues—a good bit of bowling. OENTLEIIII3I or KENT V. 1 ZINOARI —A new wicket was soon pitched. and Kent having won the toss, the third snatch was commenced at a few minutes before two, Messrs. Money and Ottaway being the lint pair of ',stamen, and Messrs. All'or mick and Campbell the bowlers.

Frederick Crump and Ricbani Mattison surrendered to their bail o an indictment charging them with stealing • small quantity of cooked meat and some biscuits, the prorertof the Westminster Buildings Co-operative Club. Mr. Montague Williams prosecuted ; Mr. Taylor de fended Cramp, and Mr. Lewis Ingram the prisoner John Ilyland said he was a member of the Co operative Stores, Westminster-buildings, Tye-street, Westminster. For four or five months they had had a deficiency in their stock. The books were examined and found correct. The secretary had retired, and a store-keeper had been die. chsi g t : d • . Andrew Wm. Glynn said he was secretary and store beeper of the club, and lived at No. 1, North Wing, B flat. He was employed to watch the store-house on the night of Friday, the 2Sth June. He wee in the shop between 11 and 12 o'clock, and after watching about three-quarters of an hour the door opened from the club room into the store, and the prisoner Mallison came in from the club keeper's room. Crump was the club keeper. Mallison walked over to the counter where there was a dish of boiled meat, some of which he took and then turned to where the cheese was, and afterwards to the bread. While he was there the prisoner Crump came to the same door and whispered, " Here, in this corner the biscuits are kept," and he saw him (Crump), stretch his hand over and take a handful, and then went into the club keeper's room, and Mallison went in after him. He opened the door and came into the store a second time and went over to the same shelves, but he (witness) could not say whether he took anything, as having a cold he coughed when Mallison left and spoke to Crump in the club room. Ho (witness) then left and communicated with Mr. Hyland. Manson was a member of the club, and also a shareholder. John Hyland, recalled, said he went back with Glynn a little before 1 o'clock and charged Crump with the offence. Crump was a member, but not • shareholder ; members of the club were not necessarily shareholders. Mallison had held office, and was then an officer. He was in charge of the store about three weeks, during the illness of the then storekeeper. The deficiency was tint discovered about six months ago, during another secretaryship. Mr. Ingram objected thatidallison being a shareholder, the indictment must fail on the ground that • man cannot rob his own partner. The Judge overruled the objection, and the jury found both prisoners Guilty. Mr. Montague Williams said that inconsequence of these peculation the society had been brought to a state of bankruptcy, and was in fact now winding up. It had been going on for the last six months, and innocent men had been discharged under the suspicion that they were the guilty parties. An attempt had been made to shift the blame on to innocent shoulders, which he thought made the case worse. Three months' imprisonment. THE POLICE COURT& THAMES. Mr. Ralph A. Benson, the Recorder of Shrewsbury, who has been appointed to succeed Mr. Partridge, officiated for the first time yesterday morning in his magisterial capa city. The learned gentleman was called to the bar b the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple on the 2filh of January, 1854. Mr. Partridge, who has gone to the Southwark Police-court, has been a stipendiary magistrate of Brighton , Wolverhampton, and the Thames Police court for upwards of 15 years. James Pain, artist in fireworks, of the Pyrotechnic o ffi ce, No. 10, Albion-place, Walworth:road, appeared before Mr. ' Benson to answer an information and summons preferred by the General Steam Navigation Company, for unlawfully sending by a certain ship called the Stork, certain goods of a dangerous nature, to wit, fireworks, without distinctly marking the nature of the said goods on ,the outside of package containing the same, or otherwise giving notice in writing to the muter or owners of the said ship at or before the time of sending the same to be shipped, by which he had incurred a penalty of 1001. The defendant pleaded guilty, and said he would throw himself on the mercy of the court. Mr. Cooper, barrister, instructed by Mr. Pearce, solicitor, said he appeared for the General Steam Navigation Company to prosecute in this case under the 320th section of the Merchant Si.ipping Act, 1834, and remarked on the very dangerous nature of the offence to which the defendant had pleaded guilty. He was afraid it was not the first time defendant had been guilty of a similar offence, and a severe example ought to be made of him. A long case was shipped on board the Stork, belonging to the General Steam Navigation Company, for Edinburgh, as a case of rods. On the arrival of the ship in Edinburgh some sus picion was entertained that the case did not contain rod., but that it contained a coffin with a corpse in it, and that to avoid payment of the usual freight the body had been shipped as rods. On opening the case, however, it was found to contain sky-rockets and other fireworks. Had the fireworks ignited on the voyage the ship on that part of it where the case was stowed away would have been blown up, and the lives of the passengers, 100 iu number, and crew, would have been imperilled. Mr. Benson—What was the weight of the case Mr. Cooper—Two cwt. three qrs., and a great deal of ex plosive matter in the rockets. The defendant—But not all gunpowder. Mr. Benson—No ; but you knew as well as I do that roc kets contain other explosive substances quite as dangerous Al gunpowder. The defendant—There are rockets and blue lights on board for the use of the ship. Mr. Benson—That is a very nonsensical remark. Rockets and blue lights are on board for their own use, and are carefully put away beyond the reach of danger in a certain part of the ship. The captain knew where to find them if he wanted them. The defendant said he forwarded the good'. to Edinburgh by the Stork bemuse she was a fast vessel, and they ware required immediately. Mr. Benson fined the defendant M. and said if the offence was repeated a very heavy penalty would be in flicted. be *r i F et o e o r r—l believe, air, a lees penalty than 251. cannot Mr. Benson—Yes, the Police Act gives a general power to mitigate penalties to any amount. The fine was paid. THE SUSPECTED MURDER .AT LIMEHOUSE. John Wiggins was yesterday brought up before Mr. Benson, at the Thames Police-court, on remand, charged with the wilful murder of Agnes Oakes. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, stated that ho appeared for the prisoner. A coroner's jury, on the termination of the inquest on the body of the woman, returned an open verdict, and, as far as they were concerned, had relieved the prisoner of the charge of murder. An investigation was commenced on Thursday last at that court, before Mr. Paget, and it was expedient that it should be con tinued before the same magistrate. He, therefore, asked that the prisoner might be remanded until Wednesday next. Mr. Benson—l have no objection. Let the prisoner be remanded until Wednesday. COMMENCEMENT OP THE LONG VACATION.— Yesterday the Chancery summonses were disposed of, , and the long vacation commenced, and will not terminate . till the 28th October. To-d a y the common law vacation begins, and ends on the 24th October. CHANCERY ORDER.—Yesterday a notice was issued that during the vacation, commencing to-day, all applications which are of an urgent nature are to be made to or at the chambers of Vice-Chancellor Malin/. All applications exparte are to be sent by book post or paroel prepaid, accompanied with the brief of counsel, and endorsed with the t erms o f th e order applied for, tie. On applications for injunction or writ of ne exeat regno, there must be sent in addition a copy of the bill, &c. The papers sent to the vice-chancellor will be returned to the registrar. All applications for leave to give notice of motion only may be made to the chief clerk at chambers. The chambers of Vice-Chancellor Malin* will be opened on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in every week. FLOOOINO GAROTTER:I.—The punishment of the cat was on Thursday indicted upon two prisoners named John Smith and John Crawley, in one of the yards of Newgate, in the presence of the governor, the sheriffs and the under-sheriffs. Both these cases were very bad , ones. Smith was convicted of being concerned with others in a most brutal attack upon Mr. Begbie, a soli- ' eitor residing in New Ormond-street, Bedford- square , while he was upon the steps of his own door about 10 o'clock at night, and during the attack the prosecutor had , his shoulder dislocated, and was otherwise seriously in jured, and was under surgical treatment for a considerable time. This prisoner was also convicted of an offence of a similar character in company with the other man Crawley, the robbery being committed upon a gentleman in Percy street, King's-cross, in the sight of a policeman in plain clothes. The prisoners were tried by the Common Serjeant, who sentenced Smith to undergo twenty ! lashes with a cat-o'-nine-tails, and then to be kept in penal servitude for ten years, and the other prisoner to receive the same number of lashes, and then to be kept in penal servitude for seven years. The t punishment was inflicted by Cslcmft, and the culprits shrieked violently during the operation. It will be recol lected that another prisoner named George Dundee, who was convicted of a robbery with violence upon a gentleman named Thorne, one of the collectors to Messrs. Young and Bainbridge, the brewers at Wandaworth, was also sen tenced to receive the puni s hm en t o f flogging ; but it ap pears from inquiries that have been instituted since his conviction that there are strong grounds for believing that ° he is innocent of the crime with which he was charged. In consequence of this the infliction of the punishment of ' Bogging has been suspended by order of the court, and it appears to be probable that the prisoner may receive a pardon from the crown. 10101.r.sit's CoD LIVER OlL.—The First Prize, and only sliver Medal at the Paris Exhibition, ihu been given to Peter Moller, for his purest Norwegian Cad Liver Oil.

The report of the directors of this company has been issued. The half-yearly accounts to the 30th June, 1867, show the net revenue for the six months, after de ducting interest on loans and all other preferential charges, to be 145,1771. 15a. ; add the su rp lus at December, 1866, 2,2 1 3 /. lila. 94 - ; balance available for dividend, 147,4011. 14s. 4d. From the above sum the directors re commend that a dividend be declared at the rate of 3i per cent, per annum, payable on the 2nd September, amount ing on 7,772,6411.46.5 d. of paid-up capital to 145,737/.oe. 5d., leaving to be carried over to the current half-year 1,6641. 13s. Ild. The grow revenue for the half-year ending 30th June shows • slight increase as wavered with the amount for the corresponding half-year of 1866. The passenger traffic during the past half-year has been very unsatisfactory, from causes which have affected the traffic of nearly the whole of the railways in this country, and the general contraction of trade has also been felt in the goods traffic, the increase in the receipts in that de partment being less than what, under ordinary circum stances, would have been realised. The average rate of interest on the mortgage debt has been but slightly in creased, it standing for the last half-year at 4.40 per cent. as compered with 4.31 for the corresponding period of 1866. On comparing the accounts of the two half-years it will be seen that the anticipations of the directors in August, 1866, of effecting a reduction in the expenditure, has been partially realised, and would, indeed, have been to a still larger extent but for the unavoidable increase in wages, which has told unfavourably on the working expenditure of the half- year. The train mileage in the half-year will be found to have been reduced by 128,140 miles, notwith• standing the increased length of railway (2l mile') worked by the company over the half-year of 1866. The whole of the details of the locomotive and carriage expenditure will be found in the superintendent's report annexed hereto. The permanent way has been maintained in go o d wor ki ng order, and materials have been provided for relaying por tions of the main line in the London district and on some of the branches. Steel rails are being introduced near some of the stations and on portions of the line where the traffic is heaviest, as experience has Amen the advantage of their adoption in such localities. The doubling of the line between Whitchurch and Andover, and between Porton and Salisbury, is being steadi ly carried on. The earthwork and bridges are completed, and the line is partially ballasted to receive the permanent way. The new goods shed on the site of the old locomotive shopa at Nine-elms has been finished, and is now ready for the goods tra ffi c. The engineer reports that on the Ken sington and Richmond Railway the contractors have nearly completed the works between Kew and the Iliunmeramith and City Railway at Hammersmith. Between this point and Kensington the work has necessarily been delayed by the negotiations which have been pending, but are now completed, with the Great Western and Metropolitan companies. The works on the Aldershot Railway and on the Kingston and Wimbledon Railway are progressing ; on the latter line they will be complete► by the time the traffic can be earned over the Tooting, Merton, and Wim bledon Railway, with which this railway is i n connex i on . The Tooting, Merton, and Wimbledon line is nearly com pleted ; but the finishing of a short piece of railway be tween the junction with the new line of the Brighton Com pany and Knight's-hill is necessary before the traffic can be commenced. These works have for a time been SUS peoded by the Brighton Company, but they are about to be resumed, and on their completion, together with • short connecting line between Knight's hill and the Chatham and Dover-line at Herne-hill, this company will be enabled to make full use of the Chatham and Dover Railway from the main line as well as from the loop line at et worked via Clapham Junction. The Seaton and Beer Railway, connecting Seaton with this company's Exeter line at Colyton, the construction of which has been under taken by an independent company, is nearly ready for inspection. As the advantages to be derived from the opening of a new watering place in connexion with this line cannot be disputed the directors have entered into working arrangements with the company, upon terms which they believe to be satisfactory, and which involve no outlay of capital. The line is 4i miles in length, and is to be worked at 55 per cent of the gram receipts after . payment thereout of government duty. A resolution in reference to these arrangements will be submitted to the proprietors. The directors have little to report respecting the proceedings in parliament daring the session which is now closing. The company, as was announced in the last half-yearly report, were at the commencement of the session promoters of one bill only, which comprised but one new work,viz., a ! short railway near the Wimbledon station, and this, in consequence of the decision come to at the Wharocliffe meeting in May last, has been withdrawn. The bill has subsequently passed, but brings the company under no new engagement. Its principal objects are the better definition and regulation of the company's existing capital and lbw. rowing powers ; further powers foe enabling the compUy's earlier exercise of the running priviletes, which in 1865 were purchased of the London, Chatham, and Dover Com pany, and the extensions of time for executing such por tions of new railway as the company were authorised, in the session of 1865, or previous thereto, to execute. The Ilfracombe Railway has been • subject of frequent report to the proprietors, this company being, since 1864, under engagement to provide half the capital for its execu tion, and the Devon and Somerset Railway Company the other half. The latter company had, in fact paid nothing, and under these circumstances the Ilfracombe Company applied to parliament in the present session to extend the time for making their railway, whilst the Devon and Somerset Company made application to be relieved from their engagement respecting it. The committee to whom the bills were referred considered that the Devon and Somerset Company were unable to find their share of the capital, and ought to be relieved from their liability upon paying or satiafactorily securing the payment of half the past and future expenses of the Ilfracombe Company, and that the Ilfracombe Railway acts should ins future session be repealed. The Ilfracombe Company's bill for an exten sion of time was hereupon withdrawn, and there is no reason to doubt that in the next session en act will be passed for putting an end to this company's Ilfracombe engagements. In their report to the last half-yearly meeting the direc tors brought under the notice of the proprietors the suc cessful progress so far of negotiations between the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and the South Devon Companies on the one hand, and this company and the Devon and Cornwall and Central Cornwall Companies on the other, for the establishment and statutory recognition of relations from which mutually advantageous results were anticipated. The proprietors approved what was then submitted to them, and gave the directors large dia -1 cretionary powers with reference to these very important arrangements. A hill had at that time been introduced into parliament at the joint instance of the Associated Broad Gauge Companies and this company, by which it was proposed to place the whole arrangement under the sanction of parliament, but it was understood that any of the companies might call for the withdrawal of the bill, if it shout l appear to them expedient to do so. The Bristol and Exeter Company having made demands on this com pany (not part of the arrangement included in the bill) which the board could not approve, and having, on this board's refusal to accede to them, decided that they would proceed no further with the quadruple treaty the whole came to an end, and the bill respecting it was withdrawn. There is no doubt that the contemplated arrangements comprised much that would have operated beneficially, and it may be hoped that the day is not far distant when the negotiations may, to some extent at least, he renewed and brought to a successful termination. In the mean time their suspension will not have been without benefit to this company, inasmuch as the directors are of opinion that the terms which had been provisionally settled were in some respects less beneficial to this company than those which on any resuming of the discussion ought to be in. sided on. No new railway or other work opposed by this company has received the sanction of parliament in the present session. - - - " BALANCE ORDERS AGAINST CONTRIBUTORIES. Yesterday 27 balance orders were granted against " ninety live" shareholders in Barned's Bank, and on the pre ceding day upwards of " one hundred" against parties indebted for calls in the National Savings Bank.
