Tax Shareholders of this Railway have not ao cepted the recent decision of Vice-Chancellor Woon with the gratitude due to a Judge who has saved them from the consequences of irregularity and disorder, and we suspect that if the sentiment of the meeting on Wednesday could have found expression, it would have been unfavourable to that learned personage. Although every one pre sent knew full well that any sum the payment of which as dividend the Vice- Chancellor had restrained would still remain the property of the shareholders, to add to the per m•nent value of their estate, the consideration has not reconciled them to its first and more obvious effect. No explanation of this compara tive indifference of shareholders to the future value of their line as a working property would be complete without reference to the enormous speculation which has been going on in the Company's stock ; at the same time there is not a railway in the kingdom, however sound its condition and fair in its prospects, the price of whose stock would not be seriously affected by a judgment affecting its dividend. In time, perhaps, we may see the property of our large railways held as firmly and its value as little liable to fluctuation as that of a gas or water company, as without doubt the great mass of it is at present, but until then variations in the amount of dividend will powerfully affect prices. It is on this account, and because con stancy of value and steadiness of dividend are im portant to so ninny railway shareholders besides speculators, that we distrust three violent remedies just now vehemently demanded in some quarters, which require the obliteration of the permanent and natural distinction between capital and revenue charges. Without denying that there are cases in which it may b wise consciously to set aside that distinction for ,time, and to pay out of revenue even for probable additions to the earning power of the company—or, in Mr. LAING'S words, for " new " objects which are to bring in a new revenue" —we must continue to hold that that is the best managed railway in which the balance between capital and revenue is held with an even and steady hand, neithor sacrificing the future to the present nor the present to the future. And since . we cannot be sure that • judge will always at a critical conjuncture intervene to set right what has gine wrong, the only security for a prudent adannistration of our railways is the general acceptance of sound principles of railway finance, and the fullest publication of all facts which affect the interests of the shareholders. (mar ma OWN OORIRRPOWDAern., CORK, SATURDAY MORNING. The most important arrest in connection with Fenkinisma since those which followed the rising in Mir& hurt was that effected iii this city last night.' The police have at length got hold of the redoubtable Captain Mackay, the leader of the dis4lested in this quarter, and the prime mover 'in the alarming exploits they have lately under taken. Ilia capture was rather cleverly accent p • • • For several months past the police had . .. to believe that Mackay—who is an Irish can—was . in'. the south reorganizing the red circles, which had almost given up in despair • th e hope of making another msg. Mackay is described as a man of extram dinilky energy, mental and physical, as well as of gni* daring ; and his presence and personal hi.' enema was, it is said, producing a marked effect szedngst hi:party here, whom he had succeeded to a t extent in rallying and reinspecting. The • were most anxious for his capture, regarding at one of the most formidable opponents veerwhom they had to deal ; but until Tee lately they had not even a alas to the' baillty in which he was to be head`;' eo ca =r lo 7 his movements, and so lnizarnishled the intelligence received in regkelYo theist, that he seemed to be übiquitous. The man was as skilful as he was bold, and for a long time he sue- , needed in completely battling the authorities. It seems to have been part of his plan to conduct a series of small raids in the neighbourhood of the city, for the purpose, as I have stated in a previcius later, of creating panic, and giving confidence to his followers by what seemed- to be so many trivaphs over the police, and in this he was exceed fortunate. From what is known there is very little doubt that he directed, if he did not aullyoonduct, the surprise of the Martell() Tower at oaty, where the leader, it will be remembered, was described as an Irish American, who gave the name of Captain Mack, and whose appearance, as described by the inmates of the tower, tallied pretty closely with that of the captive. The viaits tion and plunder of Allport's shop was also attri buted to the enterprising rebel, and he is supposed to have been the Yankee officer who so calmly chaffed Mrt Allport while the revolvers weretaken away. As yet Mackay has not been confronted with either the Allports or the tower people ; arid it is impos sible to say whether these surmises as to his identity with the leader in the two raids are accu rst& It was only within the past fortnight the police had certain information of Mackay.' preseuce in this city. They then learned that tor the past two yeses Cork had been hie head-quarters, from which he made periodical visits to the various other lo- , catlike in the • south in which branches of the I organization were. On receipt of this intelligence I attache* were made in different parts of the city 1 where it was expected he, or some trace of I his presence, would be found, but without effect. The capture made last week seems to have been for the police the proof of their fortunes. With that thei got a clue to the whole organization of the lute Lards, and, better still, the lurking place of the 1 leader. The searches were repeated, this time on surer information, and on Wednesday morning the pollee visited and examined the houses in an entire next to that in • which Mackay was ata d last night : But Mackay had got and had . changed his quarters. It umi be mentioned here that when this u se was made Mackay had only just re t from Macroorn, whither he had gate to or-, gl r t y h a e t zst daring feat he had yet aMenspSeil, ' ny •k h e termite e profound impression o • - tend. Thil eftir Villewefeure UMW croon Castle, to which I have alluded in a previous letter as the subject of an apparently authentic rumour. The castle is the headquarters of the. West Cork Artillery 3lilitia, as well as the residence of Colonel White Hedges, and the Feruans sup posed that it contained the arias of the regiment. Mackay's design, we are informed, was to collect a party of fifty men armed with revolvers to sur , prise the castle, overpower the militia staff, and select and carry off as many of the arms as he I could. He managed to collect his men fur the purpose, but at the last moment they quarrelled, and the enterprise was abandoned. Mackay, dis gusted with their cowardice, walked back to Cork the same night, the distance being about twenty ' four miles. Yesterday morning the police at length got certain and definite information as to where lie was to be found, and arrangements for his capture were made on a very extensive and complete scale. Knowing their man, the police determined to spread a net through which he would have little chance of escape. The plan of operations was kept secret until a late hour of the evening, when in structions were issued for several parties of men from the city stations—numbering in all upwards of a hundred—to take up positions at the further extremity of every avenue leading from Market street, au that it would be impossible for any one to leave it unobserved. The street communicates, by several narrow lanes with the North Main-street en one side, and with the quays and a quarter inhabited by very poor people on the other. At the end, near Patrick-street, it forms a narrow neck easily guarded, and at the other extremity the bridewell commands the approaches. Every one of ' these points was closely guarded. Most of the' policemen employed were fully armed a rescue being apprehended—and with them were a large number of detectives. At ii o'clock, when the cordon ha& been drawn, Head-constables Geale and Walsh, sad Constable usy, all dressed in plain clothes, walked carelessly up to a public-house owned by a nmaminied Cronin, in 3larket-street, close to l'ortnefs-lane, entered, and at once shut the door ; at the same moment three other con-' stables in plain clothes Mud from the lane and stood before the house. The head-constables in side walked straight into a parlour behind the shop, in which there were four men, Captain Mackay ; Cronin, the owner of the house ; Man nix, fisherman, a and a man named Walsh or lateter. Ceale produced a revolver and seized Mackay. The other constables, who were also armed, arrested his three companions. Mackay stood for a moment overwhelmed with surprises •, then recovering hbnaelf, he wrenched himself from the grasp of the head-constable, and made a dash for the stairs. Geale rushed after him, and caught him in his arms as he had reached the hall. Both were muscular men, and a desperate struggle ensued. Genie, though ad vanced in years, was the more vigorous of the two, and pinned his prisoner against the wall. Casey then came to Geale 's aid, and Mackay, seeing the odds against him contrived by a desperate effort to The Bremen 'steamship Weser, from New York get his hands free, and drew from his breast a re volver. Geale caught the pistol, and, whirling his pis H on the 30th, arrived off the Needles at 8 ate. yesterday, with 59 pathengers, 39 sacks of mils, li.ooo doll. for Hog- saner rounds they both fell on the ground. itaoluq land 101,300 dole. for France, mad I 200 doll. for Bremen. struggled to regain control of the weapon , and in tike has nude a very quiet: passage. having been detained ' this struggle it went off, having either been fired by at New York until 5 p.m. on the 30th inst., waiting the ! him at G e ale, o r ex pl o d e d accidentally.

The Vice-Chancellor has been commended for prevent ing the payment out of capital of interest upon unproductive expenditure, that expenditure being the outlay upon an extension under taken by the directors and shareholders in the belief that it will be profitable. We refrain from. &Naming the judgment, bennee iu a complete form it is not before us, and, moreover, it has been stated that there are facts in dispute which it would be necessary to settle, before a sound conclusion could be formed upon the whole case. But the principle involved in the action of the Metropolitan Directors is worth examining, be cause it is of very wide application. A very little reflection, we think, will show that so far front the interest on works in progress being an im proper charge to capital, the capital account is that to which it naturally and appropriately belongs. Wo do not discuss the question whether the funds employed in works in progress ought to bear inte rtst, because until somebody pre-vents himself with money which 1m is ready to supply for a longer or short,: time without interest that qosstion will not arise. We assume that it is within the competence of a railway company to raise the money required fur it:, extension upon the most advantageous terms, and that for this purpose it may be desirable, as a matter of economy, to pay interest upon the out lay on new works while they are in course of eoustructiou, and therefore, before they have become profitable. Parliament has sanctioned such' payment again and again. Capital procured on these terms comes into the concern with this charge, so to speak, upon its back, and then the iatereet upon it is just as much a part of ithe coat f the railway as is the purchase price of the laud for the lice. It is in that case not au additional and extraneous charge suPerileneeed upon the undertaking, but an integral part of it. 1 0f course it may be separated; the Shareholders may, ff they choose, pay the interest out oc: revenue, and it may be wise to do so. We should hesitate very much to say that the 20,0001. which the Shareholders of the Metropolitan expected to get as dividend and have not got, is not better • applied to making their extension than iu raising a tel per cent. dividend )0. .1 . 312 t should be understood that seek a 1 ion is a direct aid given by. revennet;evWsexpendi ture. Upon just the same principles, revenue might be made to pay for the rails or bridges of the new line : and that, too, might be wise. lAs to the general position of the Metropolitan Railway, we have no opinion to offer here ; we simply point out that, so far as the matter we have discussed is concerned, the Court of Chan eery has interfered, not to regulate a question of accounts, but to take a direct and positive share in the management, said it will be a curious and instructive tact if it should turn out that a Vice- IChanoellor and hia Chief Clerk can manage a mil -1 way better than its own proprietors. We shall wait the result without prejudice.—Deily News. AlibrrioNAL.] • ; Eiti o iiiPfib` bayonet, stab in the hip, Whicli necreeitated hie removal to r the intimacy.

PL. — While the mysteries, disappearance of the Rev. It. ftpeke is being discussed with great interest by the Lowlon pew, and by numerous correspondents, it may not Le ,11./1.41 to call attention to a similar case, in which. a men of souse mains vanished from amoogst uc so completely that nut a trace of him was ever afterwards discovered. • We allude to the case of Mr. Charles Janes, of BalatoL Mr. Jones was an old mw of eighty years of age-a thin. light man, of active habits. He resided at Stsidephouse. Upper Easton, and on the 7th December, 1866, he loft his house about eleven in the moulding, for the purpose of calling on a man named Nethisoiel Ramadan, who keps a beer -0111.• 04liellb`a4 -41160aisma" _ _ in Ilial,TisilliTs purpose of outainiug payment of the suns of Md.. which was slue to him flow Mr. RAM,. den. Mr. Jones was seen to enter HanealeiCe house about three in the afternoon. He was afterwards seen in the yard adjoining the beethouse about • quarter to 5 in the afternoon, hut from that tame to this he has been searched for in vain. The police marched the mljoinisgl preintsea (where :hero were a limekiln and furnsaa.. used for melt . fat, kc.), a government reward wes offered, the aver was dragg ed, but not th e slightest evidence con hi le a obtained to show what Lad becotue of the tingeing man. Two days after Mr. Jones disappeared the lansilord of the tavern, Mr. l:amaelen, called on Mr. Athmeasi, snr veyor, who had on some o=l.lio/14 acted as agent to Mr. JOINS, 111311 said be had an appoinement to meet Mr. JOlll.l at Mr. Ashwesal's office. Ile then stated that he had mid Mr. Jones the money he owed him Cljeg.), and mad made a mistake and paid him MX, being BY, to., mush, and he was to have this lb!. back again. At the same time Hamden produced a slip of paper purporting to be a re , wipe for the Sat. Mr. Jones never called at Mr. Ash. mead's office, and, as we have stated, be has never been seen since. We reproduce these facts simply to show that it is possible for a man to disappear without lowing a tram to indicate what has become of him. This week a local solicitor, Mr. Atchley, moved, by counsel, the Court of Probate to make a grant of administration in the estate of Mr. Jones. Some very extraordinary affidavits wets' sub mined, and the court, regarding Mr. Jones as dead, panted the powers soeght. This case in, perhaps, more singular than that of - the Rev. B. Spoke. 'The latter I gentleman was lost in the world of London, and the nearest indication of the locality was found in the wide word " Westminster." But Mr. Jones was towed to a par itiettlar house where be was said to have had large money transactions. The police made a most active investigation, bat they were completely baffled, and Jones's case is likely for ever to remain, what it is now, a mystery not to be ex plained. We see, therefore, that a man way leave his house well in • morning, in this well-guarded country, and be 'completely lost the same day. This was Jones's case ; it is also the Bev. B. Spoke's ans. Such disappearances are suggestive and they ate anything bat plea to con template. T hey show that there are dangers under the surface of ordinary events which are at once tennis's:ring and inserutable. Where is Mr. Junes, or his body, at this momeat?

I ... r ALS& IMPRISONMENT OF A REPORTED:.—An action for damages (1,00014 was tried last week in the Court of Common Pleas, Dublin, brought by Mr. Matthew Tracy, a reporter of the Cork herald, against Mr. Daniel J. Cruise, resident magistrate at Killarney, for false imprisonment. Mr. Tracy, during the Fenian excitement of last winter, when representing his paper in Killarney, presented a tele gram at the telegraph office, there to be sent to Writ, in 1 the words, " Rumoured disaffection in the troop.. An officer heard civilians and men singing seditious soup. Civilians removed by police. Military seat to quarters. Fourteen moldier. missing. Wirth eat last night at Clem. mahon." The telegraph clerk washed to leave out the word "disaffection." The plaintiff refused. On Lang brought before the magistrate and naked Lis authority for the statements he wished to pulffish, he also refused to give it. In consequence be was plaited in gaol, where he lay for three days, and was three times searched. Ultimately Mr. Tracy was released. on giving hail. The charge on which he was, was that of having " writes* and ptffillabed a false and malicious libel on certain of her Majesty's troops at Killarney." It was contended that if Mr. Tray had in the Dist instance indicated the source of his infeml 'nation (he had it from " • priest whom he met in the I hotel," and two brother reporters), he never would have bsea arrested. .The ease excited mom interest among military men, sad General Sir A.
