Sittiap in Beam— (Before the Lord Chief Jostle' Betfil, and Justices Wilke sad Smith.) RICNARI/MON V. THE METROPOLITAN LOMAT comrANT. This was an action to recover damages for injuries sus tained while the plaintiff was • pager oa the &lea dints' line, and on the trial in the Lord Mayor's Court the jury found for the plaintiff damages WI. Mr. H. James now moved pursuant to leave reserved by the Recorder, for a rule calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why a verdict for the defendants era nonsuit shoved not be entered. On the 17th March last the plaintiff got into a carriage on the defendants' line at King's-cross, but finding some difficulty in getting a seat, he remained standing for some half-minute, who. the guard called out " Take your seats," and Milt the door. The plaintiff at this time had hold of the jamb of the door, and his thumb was pinched when the door closed. It was submitted that these facts showed that there was no negligence on the part of the guard, and at all events that the plaintiff by his own negligence contributed to the accident. A abort time ago a majority of the judges of this court held the Brighton Railway Company liable for having pinched a inane hand in the doorway ; but the ground of the judgment was that the door was closed before the passenger had time to seat himself. In the present cue, however, there was ample time allowed, and there was no reason for the plaintiff keeping his hand in so dangerous a position. Rule granted. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.

The petitioner, a merchant, married the respondent in 186 U, and cohabited with her in Madras and at Clieshunt till istiG. The co-respondent was the medical attendant and an intimate ftiend of the family ; and it was alleged that he Lad abused Lis position in both capacities to debauch the petitioner's wife. The ease rested almost entirely 041 the testimony of servants. The respondent pleads. 114 denial, and alleged cruelty and neglect, yet but little evi dence was given to make out these charges. The jury this morning, with scarcely a moment's delibe ration, found for the petitioner on all the lames, and assessed the damages at 1,500 f.

IRThH-AMERICAN FENIAN. J(1711/1 , Bennett, 29, described u a stoker on board a steam•vessel, was indicted for assaulting SAmuel. Yco, Thomas 011ett, Simon Carpenter, and Benjamin Jtiery, constables of the Metropolitan Police, in the execution of their duty. Mr. Cooper prosecuted. Samuel Yeo, police-oonstablo 137 A R, said, on the night of the I.lth of May be was on duty in Bear-street, where be saw a crowd of thieves and prostitutes round a barrow of oysters, and he told the man with the barrow to move on. Upon this the prisoner suddenly made his appear. ance from a public-house, and asked bim what be had to do with it ; but witness told him to go away and mind his own business. He said be was an Mali-American, that be was a Fenian, and had come over to this country to shoot some of thorn. On that witness walked away, but the prisoner followed bim, using threatening language, and then struck him a violent blow. He then 'kicked him, and became very violent in his conduct. Some constables came to witness's assist ance, but the prisoner struck and kicked at them, and it was with great difficulty he was gut to the station-house. He was quite drunk. Corroborative evidence was given, and the prisoner was sentenced to four months' imprisonment with hard labour, POLICE COURTS.-(THIS DAY.) BOW-STREET. 'nu 1) BY A PARCELS DELIVERY CARMAN. John Crowson, a carman io the service of tho London Parcels Delivery Company, was charged before Sir Thomas Henry with embezzling six shillings, received on behalf of his employers. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Roberts, who stated that it was part of the prisoner's duty to collect parcel, from the receiving -houses kept by agents of the company, and convey them to the central depot in Rolls buildings. In going his rounds with the cart, he:was accompanied by a boy named Young, who bad been some eighteen months in the employ of the company, ' bat hitherto had worked with other carmen, and had only been two days with the prisoner, when they agreed to perpetrate the fraud with which the prisoner was now charged. After hearing the opening statement, and the evidence of the boy Young, Sir Thomas Henry said it was a question for the con sideration of the prosecutors whether the boy ought not to be charged with the prisoner, and both indicted for con spiracy. There was nothing to show that the boy was not the instigator. Mr. Roberts thought from the way the boy gave his evidence the inference that he was so seemed the more probable. Sir Thomas Henry—To give you time to consider the question I will remand the prisoner on recognisanoes. WESTMINSTER. BRUTAL OUTRAGE BY A DAUGHTER UPON HER NOTRE". R4Piga Carron and Mary Canes, two young women,were charged with violently assaulting the mother of the latter. Elizabeth Canes, whoop face was dreadfully disfigured and band tied up, said that she had been most cruelly beaten by her daughter and the other girl last evening. They had, besides the injuries she bore, inflicted others which were not visible. One of them had kicked her in the jaw and knocked two of her teeth out. Canes—Then you should not have taken ninepence and my apron. I had not gut a halfpenny left to go to market with. Canoll—l tried to part them. The policeman said that that was true in the first instance. but after that she helped in the attack. Defendants both said they had all been drinking to gether before they fell out. . . . . - . The polioema n said they were all affected by drink. Mr. delfe committed the defendant Canes for ex weeks to hard labour, and Carroll to seven days. Another batch of rioters who took part in the recent disturbances at Ashton-under-Lyne were committed for trial by the Ashton magistrates yesterday. It will probably be regarded as an indication of the impartiality of the action of the police that the same number of Irish menand of Murphyites—seventeen—have been committed for trial fur complicity in the Ashton riot. Wit.l.s AND Bmaymms.—The will or Scotch con firmation of Lieutenant-Colonel James Framer, K.C.8., Wm sealed, in the London Court of Probate, under 12.000/. personalty; and that of Captain Thome Chrystie, n,N„ under 5,000/.

TRADE AND NAVIGATION. This morning the accounts were published re lating to the trade and navigation of the United Kingdom fur the month ended on the 30th April, and fur the four months ended also at the same date. The total value of enumerated imports in March last was 21,449,424/., which not only shows a very considerable increase yin the returns of the two 11111111111Lutouths, an inereaseepon the at turns made in the corresponding periods of 1866 and 1867. The total declared valua of British exports in April last amounted to 14,575,152!., which was 254,0971. less than the declared value of the previous month, and 791,262/. less than that of the corresponding month of 1866. It, however, shows an excess of 770,244/. over the returns for April, 1867. GREAT INDIAN PRNINSULAR RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) The hal&yearly meeting of the shareholders was held at noon at the City Terminus Hotel, Cannon-street, Mr. CHILDERA, M.P., in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has already appeared, having been taken u read, The CHAIRHAN moved its adoption. He commenced by calling attention to the accounts fur the last half-year, and to the new form in which the accounts were presented. The reventte of the last half-year was 69,550/. iu excess of that of the corresponding half of the previous year, while the increase in the expenditure was only 43,890/., showing a difference of 25,61101. in favour of the last half-year. If productive and unproductive capital were kept distinct the result of a comparison of the earnings of the last three years would be as follows:-1855, 64. Is. 9d. per cent.; 1864, s'. 14s. bid.; 1407, IW. 19s. 9d. After alluding in detail to the accounts presented, he referred to the steps taken by the directors in order to secure the works being put in a proper condition. For that purpose the government and the company aban doned their respective moieties of the surplus profits for the first half of 1407, and a fond was to accumulate to the extent of 250,0001., in order that ample provision he made for future casualties. Mr. Berkley, the company's consniting engineer, whew's sent to India on behalf of the board, had recently returned,and would make an exhaustive report on the subject. The board expected that the line toJ übbulpore would be opened by the commencement of the work!ng season in 1470. Referring to the proposed creation of debenture stock, in substitution for debentures, which had been lately autho rised by parliament, he spoke of the advantages likely to attend such a change. The heard proposed that such stock should bear 4 per cent. He believed that it might be issued either at par or a very small discount and the result would be an immediate saving of about half per cent. It was contemplated to submit 600,0001. shortly by tender, the minimum to be fixed by the Secretary of State for India and himself. In conclu sion, he spoke of a visit which he hoped to pay to India in the autumn, provided the dissolution of Parliament should take place—if not, before the early part of next year. Mr. J. G. FRITH seconded the notion. The report was adopted. EASTERN BENGAL RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.) The 20th ordinary general meeting was held at the Guildhall Coffee-house, Mr. J. F. LEITH in the chair. _ _ The report of the directors has been published. The eIIAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, congratulated the meeting on the steady increase in both the merchan dise and passenger traffic. The latter bad been effected by the famine and floods in Lower Bengal, but bad now recovered, showing that the condition of the people in that locality was materially improving. The receipts for general traffic, including the flotilla and steam service for the half-year, as compared with the corresponding period of 18441, bad increased by 13,4001. or 12'44 per cent., hut the expenses had Increased, owing to some exceptional charges, as compensation, &c., to shout the same ratio. Upon the whole, however, the working expenses (lid not exceed those of moat of the other Indian railways, and were much lower than some of them, and the nett earnings were equal to 419 percent. The increase in the goods traffic was especially satisfactory, seeing it was being diverted from the old-established channels of water carriage by which it bad hitherto been conveyed. The increase of merchandise traffic for the half year ending December, 1867, was over 17 per cent, as compared with the corresponding half of 1866. The report was adopted, and the usual formal business having been transacted, the proceedings terminated with thanks to the chairman and directors. On Tuesday week Mr. Stansfeld will call the at tention of the house to the report of the Schools Inquiry Commission, and move, "That, in the opinion of this house, the recommendations of that report deserve the early and favourable consideration of her Majesty's go vernment." Mr. Dixon intends to bring forward, on the 9th prox., a bill to amend the " Act for preventing the adul teration of articles of tood or drink, 1860," and to extend its provisions to drugs. The Select Committee on Public Petitions have agreed to the following special report :—" Your oommittee having, in the course of their examination of signori/urea to certain petitions for restricting trade on Sundays and far alteration of the law respecting weights and measures, observed that, in nearly every case, the signature on the akin or sheet on which the petition is written is obviously not in the handwriting of the person whose name is ap pended, but of one and the same individual, who has affixed the different names to the different petitions for the purpose of giving them a genuine appearance, thereby nullifying the orders of the house respecting signatures to petitions ; your committee are of opinion that such a breach of the orders of the house ought not to Le allowed so peas without some special mark of disapproval." According to the New South Wales special cor respondent of the Panama Star and Herald the Duke of Edinburgh was to leave Sydney in the Galatea on the sth or 6th of April for England via Cape Horn. The Galatea is therefore N 1 days out. The mail of the 23rd of April, from Sydney, via Sues and Marseilles, will be due in Lon don on the 17th proximo. Some ancient British remains have just been discovered at Maiden Coatis, in Dorsetshire. C•Lenarr, ran HANOMATC. —The following letter has been addressed to the Daily Telegraph :—" Much has been said to prejudice the public mind against poor Ca/craft, whose only crime is that he is the minister of justice and the dread executor of the rigour of the law. I happen to know she man as the minister of the church in which he worships, and • more worthy creature does not exist. To stigmatise him as a bard-hearted cruel, low lived, crouching, fawning wrettii, which some of the papers, in connection with his duty as public executioner, have done, is utterly wide of the fact. He is • good and tender hearted man, an habitual frequenter of a church of Eng land place of worship, where his whit* bead and venerable appearance is pleasingly conspicuous, though his identity is not generally known among the congregation. The execution of his duty is no pleasing topic of conver sation with him ; he takes no delight in gratify ing curiosity by enlarging on the dismal scenes in which he takes so necessary a part ; he is modest and unassuming. He is by trade • shoemaker, and you might deal with him all your life, and have no more idea that be was the common hangman than that b e wee the Grand Lama of Thibet. Hu is • very devout attendant upon public worship, and • man of very simple and atraightforward wind, fulfilling all the relations of domestic and social life in • kindly and affectionate manner.

Although the road was largely patronised this wending by Epsom visitors it looked the bustle and naltement of last Wednesday messing. The *Mee were far lam numerous, the crowds of special= =seder ably less, and the bright clear atmosphere was *besot, the air being heavy and sultry. There was, however, no lack of life and gaiety. From 9 until 12 o'clock there was a continuous stream of vehieles, selloient to give animation to the moans, but not so =mem, as to occasion any block or inconvenience. There was also a marked ab moos of that boisterous fun so characteristic of the Derby meaning. Before 1 o'clock a violent thunder storm broke over London, with much rain. (BY TELEGRAPH.) THE RACE.

The stock markets opened this morning with ex treme firmness, and a further important rise was observable in prices. A relapse, however, has since occurred in many instances, owing chiefly to a large sale of Consols for cash, statpd to be on banking account. The announcement from Paris that a bill has been presented to the Legislative Body for calling out 100,000 men to recruit the army and navy, and the dulness of the weather, have also induced sales. The English funds were first quoted 961, with div., for money, and 941 to 1, ex div., for the account, but have since declined to 951 to 1 and 941 to respectively, being per cent. worse than yester day. Foreign bonds, although flat at the present moment, in sympathy with Consols, are in many cases better than yesterday. The changes in rail way stocks are not important. The settlement will be completed this afternoon. The discount market is unaltered, and the rate for advances in the Stock Exchange is still 1 to 11 per cent. Compared with the last prices of yesterday, Lon don and North Western, Great Western, and Midland stocks show a rise of per cent., while Metropolitan, Great Northern A, and Loudon, Chatham, and Dover have declined 1 to 1. Annexed are the prices :--Caledonian, 741 to 75 ; London and North-Western, 1154 to 1 ; Great WestessAlfte 54; Midland, 1061 tolo7/ ; London and South Western, 91 to 93 ; Great Eastern, 35 to ; Brighton, 52 5 to 1 ; South Eastern, 77 to 1, ex new ; Metropolitan, 1111 to 1121; Great Northern, 103 to 1 ; ditto A, 97 to 98 ; London, Chatham, and Dover, 201 to 4 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 1281 to 1 ; York and North Mid land, 94 to 4 ; Berwick, 1021 to 1031 ; and North British, 331 to 34.

About 105,000 t. in gold has been sent into the Bank. The Russian government has authorised the issue of obligations to the amount of 17,000,000 Dutch florins for the construction of a railway from Jelez to Orel, being a continuation of the line from Jelaz to Griasi, and consequently a sec tion of the grand line from Riga to Barstow. The length is 177 versta. The Russian government guarantees 5 per cent. interest, receiving the capital so that the subscription becomes really a loan. The obligations, deducting the allowances, are issued at 741 to 741 per cent., the subscriptions extending to November next, while the interest is payable half-yearly, at a fixed rate of exchange, in Berlin, Amsterdam, and London. The obligations are redeemable at par in 81 years, commencing in 1870. _ _ The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit tance of 1,222/. 6s. 2d. on account of the divi dends on the debt of Ecuador. About 151,0001 in bar gold was taken to the Bank yesterday, while 25,000 sovereigns were with drawn for Lisbon. The Erinhas arrived from New York with 11,0001. in specie. The amount despatched from that port yesterday for Europe was 200,0001. The Shannon has reached Lisbon from Brazil, with 6,0641. Of the 490,000/. by the Douro, from the West Indies, 420,0001. consists of Mexican dollars, 30,0001 of bar silver, and 40,0001. of gold. The Catherine sailed from Otago, N.Z., for Lon don, on the let of April, with 25,0001 in gold. The bills have been returned of Messrs. Bassett, Green, and Hewetson, hop and seed factors, of the Borough. The firm, which is respectable, carried on business for many years under another title, and has been established under its present form about five years. The liabilities are stated not to be very large, and the estate shows about 15s. in the pound. Their difficulties have arisen from the depreciation in the value of hope, of which they are large holders. Complaints are made of evidences of a disincli nation on the part of the authorities at Florence to carry out arrangements that have been entered into with English companies. This policy, a per sistence in which could not fail to give a serious blow to Italian credit, is the more difficult of com prehension, because it appears front the published letters that at the present time the Italian go vernment is In a position to carry through the parliament any well considered measure. 3 The traffic of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway fur the first week in May amounted to 82,137 dole., against 103,828 dole. in the sone sponding period of last ycar, showing a decease of 214391 dole. Means. A. Young and John Ball, the liquidators of the Imperial Mercantile Credit Association (Limited), notify that, in accordance with the 4th clause of the arrangement made by them with the creditors in June, 1867, they are prepared to pay, on the let of June, under discount at the rate of 6 per cleat. per annum, the promissory notes issued on behalf of the association which become doe on the 30th of that month. They therefore request the creditors to present such notes for payment at the Bank of England on the tat of June, the Bank having instructions to pay all such promissory notes as shall be presented on or after that date, less discount as above fur 29 days. Mr. Arthur Cooper, the liquidator of the Ori ental Commercial Bank (Limited), has announcvd a second dividend of Is. in the pound (making 3a. 6d. paid) as payable to the creditors on the Ist and 2nd of June. At the meeting yesterday of the Madras Irrita tion and Canal Company, the directors' report, which has already been published, was adopted. TM Chairman, Mr. Janice Thomson, remarked that the progress made since the last meeting is emi nently satisfactory, end the more to be depended upon as not being showy, but a steady and solid advance. The prospectus is being privately circulated of the Tower Subway Company, the object of which is to establish under the Thames a subway between Tower-hill and Southwark. The public announce. ment of the project is apparently to bo deferred until the company's act of incorporation shall have been finally obtained. Meanwhile a commu nication on behalf of the promoters informs us that " tenders have been made to complete the tunnel and shafts for 10,0001., which is capable of con veying one million of passengers annually from one side of the river to the other." The allotment letters of the Anglo-Mediterra nean Telegraph Company (Limited) wore posted last evening.

The weekly return of the Bank of France shows the followingchanges : Coin and balks' 4 " locrease De2o,olsl Bills discounted' lncrease 113,:,o0 Notes in circulation Private deposits Advances Treasury balance The chief feature is the further large increase in the coin and bullion, by which the aggregate is raised to the astonishing and wholly unprecedented amount of 47,913,0001. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, May ../;', compared with that for the previous week, shows the following changes • Circulation issue Circulation active Public deposits Other deposits Government seem ides in banking department 13,21 4 ,557 Incrra•e Te Other securities in banking department 19,172,314, Decreuee tr. ,4UB Coin and bullion in both departments Seven day and other bills 467,179 Mauve 12,545 The Rest 3,113,531 Increase 2,053 Notes in reserve Total reserve (notes k coin) in banking department 12,609,957 Increase 741,144 These changes are again very fi.vourable. Owing to the large increase of deposits, toge ther with the diminution in the Bank's advances on private securities, the reserve shows an increase of about three-quarters of a million. During the week the Bank received from abroad 391,0001. in gold, after allowing for a withdrawal of 150,000 sovereigns for Egypt; and, as the in crease above shown in the coin and bu:lion eacetals half a million, there is evidently a retina of coin from the provinces.

The flashes of lightning were frequent and vivid, and torrents of rain fell intermittently. The storm continued wady two homy. A tire near Barnsley, yesterday afternoon, at the bobbin manufactory of Messrs. Wilson and Newman, did, damage to the extent of 10,000?. A large number of hands will be thrown out of employment.

GAME PROSPE•Ts. —This is a stage in the ',talon : when it is most difficult to speak with ricythieg like certainty of the coming seasons sport. The grouse are nested, and several nests we have heard of are well filled. The season has been very favourable hitherto, and in the south of Aynhire. when the ' grouse were pairing, there was a very toe show in beautiful plumage. No appearance of weaknese or disease. Much will depend on the weather duriug the next six weeks. A number of gamekeepers from different districts have all made the same observa tion, that there is something singular in the conduct of the partridges this year. The hens should all have been sitting on eggs three weeks ago, and yet hen and cock are seldom seen separate morning, noon, and evening. This has been a favourable season for hares ; end as for rabbits they seem to be rather prolific on agricultural farms, in ail seasons.—Ayr Advertiser. ARRIVAL OF TUE Curs.

SERIOUS FIRE AT OREENWICK. This morning a: fire 'broke' out in the premises of Alessi.. J. and G. Rennie, boiler makers, Greenwich. It was discovered in one of lithe factories containing a number of partially finished boilers andlother valuable property ; and, owing to the comparative scarcity of water, the efforts of the firemen were not effectual in preventing it from spreading to another building of the earns size and character. These factories, or sheds, which were 140 feet long, and of considerable width, were burnt out, and their valuable contenta consumed. The value of the property destroyed is roughly esti- mated at several thousands of pounds. EAST WORCESTERSIIIRE ELECTION. lay TELEGRAM) POLLING.—(THIS DAY.) DROITWICH, FRIDAY MORNING. ELEVEN O'CLOCK.

Coastwise as well as by rail the supply of home-grown wheat wu very moderate, but more than equal to the de mand. The continuance of fine weather and the satis factory account from the agricultural districts caused considerable heaviness to prevail in the trade for both red and white parcels, and business was with difficulty con cluded, at barely Monday's reduction in value. With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. The transactions were on a limited scale, at the late decline. Floating cargoesof wheat commanded but little attention, at drooping prices. Other kinds of produce afloat were dull of sale. _ . _ There was only a moderate quantity of barley on sale. The demand was inactive, at late rates. Malt was dull, but no change took place in the quotations. Beans were quiet, on former terms. No change took place in the value of peas, the inquiry for which was limited.
