The weather underwent a delightful chaise, for after • drenching rain during Tuesday night a frost set in, mid the morning was as bright as a summer's day. Although the racing was not of wadi an important aka:notes am on the opening day, it had many interesting features, and specu lation was very spirited. The events of the previous day were dismissal, the g. aural opinion being that although Treasure Trove was e oomparative outsider, his victory wee not en unanally good ens for the ring, meat of the book makers having hid. Opinions were divided as to the merits of Problem and the Sacrifice filly, who bad such a severe shoals, in the Brocklesby, some asserting that the filly would have won but for her stumbling in the last stride. The snoozes of Mr. Chaplin called forth the wildest demonstrations of joy from the "natives," with whom he is especially popular. Mr. Chaplin and Captain Machold both won good stakes, and many of the gentlemen also stood the " rase jacket" The racing oommeneed today at 1 o'clock with the Blank ney Handicap, nine of the 'lateen homes on the Gard going to the poss. Barker, the boy who rode Treasure Trove so admirably in the Lisoolashire Hand,map, weighed to ride Credulity, but Mr. !Marne havidg reported him foe disoliediesee at the post on Tuesdey, he was summoned before the stewards just previous to this rsoo, and bein s uspended from riding 'gain during the Stone meeting, Stone was substituted for him. The bookmakers oonuneuoed the day very auspiciously, for Tragedy, one of the outsiders in the betting won easily. The backers were more fortunate in their nert attempt, for Pneumatic, the favourite, won the Juvenile Selling Stakes. The City Han dicap, the chief event of the day, brought out but eleven runners of the forty-air on the card, Musician and East Lynn being very - hot favourites, the honour of first favouritism alternating between the two, but just before the flag fell the last named had a alight mil, to 1 being accepted. Historian and Reindeer were each backed freely at 6 to 1, and Gamma at;,7 to 1 was also sup ported for good money. The race requires little de scriptioo, as the winner Indian Star, had them all beaten half a mile from home, and won very easily by a length ; Lord Westmoreland won a Mae stake, although the horse was apparently friendless at 100 to 8. Eight numbers were hoisted oa the telegraph baud for the Grand Steeplechase. West End The Beau, and the Rogue were backed for most mosey, bridegroo m being Namely mentioned. The winner ran in *plan style and finished with rare speed, making the Rogue literally stand still. Bridegroom singularly enough won this race last year with - 41 be less weight. He was admirably ridden on this mos eon by Hr. R. Walker. We regret to my that an nnfor innate accident occurred during the moo to Hr. Wilmot, •wkserode Contralto ; the borne came down heavily . and so injured bin rider, that he was conveyed to the tadimary on a stretcher.

Tnere war, however, an item of expenditure is suspense amounting to 75W., which might slightly affect the next division unless it could be made up in the mean while by receipts from the off lettings. The theatre would be opened fur opera sad ballet dnrng the London season, a period of the year when the house ought, never to be closed. Mr. Deputy Tegg having moved, and 31r. Sharp seconded, the adoption of the report, the chairman took the opportunity of recalling to mind that a few years ago the ground rent payable to the Duke of Bedford by the proprietors of the theatre was seven quarters in arrest. At the present time there was only one quarter unpaid. Four years back the renters received 41. 15e. per oent., then 61., then 61. 65., and now the rate was 71. Previous to these dates the division seldom ex ceeded 21. per cent., but wee more often nothing at aIL The report was unanimously agreed to • and a scission then took place upon tilt expediency or cb additional precau tions being taken in the fittings of the theatre against tire. It was suggested that an iron curtain upon a modern prin ciple, which was now in use at the new theatre in Edin burgh, to protect the auditorium from a fire occurring on the stage, might be judiciously adopted in this theatre, while • spiral staircase leading to the Rya, and built of wood, might be advantageously replaced by an iron tantalum Colonel Challooer remarked that one great warm of confusion in case of fire had bees found from experience to reside in the doors of public buildings opening inwards instead of out wards.

We are requested to contradict rumours which have been circulated to the effect that Forum agents at Woolwich havesucareded in indueingeoldiers to desertto the Irish Prelims, that a number of Fenian' had assembled at a public-house near the Royal Arsenal, and that the sus pension of the Habeas Corpus Act and the deseatch of Royal Artillery to Dublin has led to rieta of a serious character amongst the Irish population of Woolwich. The mi li tary and pollee authorities at Woolwich have no information leading to the belief that any Fenian agents have visited the town, and the number of desertions from the several corps has been for some time below the aver age. With regard to the supposed Fenian meeting, we are informed by the police authorities that about a week shift a man, named Rogers residing at Plumstead, called at the station-house, and said that a number of Fenians had asesailled in the taproom of the .

With regard to her foundering, Mr. Martyr thought it pro bable from what he had beard that the stoke-bole plates, in being washed about, bad damaged some of the pipes, and I that thus water had been admitted into the vessel. In this opinion Mr. W. Campbell, shipwright surveyor, and Mr. W. C. Taylor, engine surveyor, concurred. The sur veyors spoke in the highest terms of the ships beloog ing to Messrs. Papsyanni (owners of the Amelia), and is answer to a question by Mr. Bataan, Mr. W. O. Taylor said that he had no fault to find with the construction of the Amelia. It was admitted by the witnesses that the ship had probably been overladen, and in reference to that subject Captain Harris asked their opinion se to a load line being marked on the ship. The witnesses said that such a thing might be feasible, but that there would be an outcry against it on the part of the owners.

Serjeant Bel- ex p a nd ed the mc'e t offen t i v e Terttena of wne required Lail was at one forthcoming. and the pro lantana in continuation, argued that it was perfectly clear, aeons thew terudnated, notwithstanding the form in which the article appeared le the magazine, what charge it was intended to convey against Mr. Sothern, who was • married man living happily with his wife cad children down to the time when these calumnies were made public, and it was unnecessary for him to rya word upon the misery and mischief that eueh an accusation was calculated to occasion. With regard to the defendant Mr. Kent, he should show that the work bad been advertised in the Times and Daily Telegraph to be sold at hie place of business, but that the advertisement had been stopped on account of the libel Wag complained of, and that notwithstanding this, copies of the work had been sold so lately as Monday last, and, under these cir circumstances, it appeared to him that Mr. Kent was equally as amenable to the law as the author of the libel. Several wit:seems were then called to prove that they had purchased copies of the Spiritual Magazine at the defen dant's office in Paternoster-row, and that these copies were paranoid last Monday. Mr. Edward Morgan, a clerk in the advertising & ment of the Daily Tekgraph, proved that proceedings being threatened in consequence of —&-; advertisement that had been referred to having appeared io that journal, he went to the defendant's office sad asked if they were responsible for it, and he was informed that they were not, and that they were merely the publishers of the magazine, and all the advertisements were mot by the editor. The person to whom he spoke sad he would give him the name and address of the editor, but he corrected himself, and said that he had better leave him to hike his own course and find out what be wanted. Mr. &theta was then examined. He rid—l am an actor, at present performing at the Haymarket Theatre. I am an American, but I am now permanently established in this country. I have read the article contained in the Spiritual Magazine, and it applies to me. lam • married man, and have four young children, and I have always lived on terms of perfect comfort and affection with my wife. She would barn bees present to-day you (Serjeant Ballengee) had sot expressed your opinion that it was noneeemary for her to attend. Serjeant l3allantlite—ls there a single word of troth in the charge contained in this article of your having acted in the manner stated to any young actress? Mr. Sothern—There Is not the slightest shadow of a foundation for such • charge. Mr. Chamberlain then addressed the court at some length on behalf of Mr. Kant, and he said that he deeply regretted having been the means of publishing the libel, but he really knew nothing whatever of the coctente of this magazine—no mote than he did the contents of four or five hundred similar ones, which be merely published upon a small commission. As to the advertising of the work, that also was a matter he had no ooguisanoe of, and it was always done by the editor or the proprietor. and all he knew of matter was the sale of the work when it was asked for. Mr. Chamberlain added that the summons was only served on Saturday, and Mr. Kent at once consulted him, and the sale was immediately stopped. Under these cir cumstanceshe trusted that Mr. &thorn would not press the charge against his client, and subject him to the an noyance and inconvenience of having to appear at the Old Bailey. The Lord Mayor said that as the charge was pressed be bad no alternative bat to send the tam for trial, but he would take Mr. Keats own recognisance in 1001. for his appearance at the sessions. The ease against Mr. Coleman was then gone into. Serjeant Ballantine briefly addressed the Lord Mayor, and he put in a letter written by the defendant to the Times newspaper, in answer to one that had been mint to that journal by Mr. Sothern, complaining of the libel, in which he admitted that he had published it, and stated et the same time that he was in • condition to prove the truth of the allegations contained in it. Mr. Lewis, when the learned serjesnt had concluded, submitted that there really ought to be an adjournment, to give him an opportunity of obtaining materials for cross examioing Mr. Bother& Serjeant Ballantine said that if the adjournment was only for the purpose of enabling Mr. LIMB to cross-axe mine Mr. &Ahern, he should take upon himself the respon sibility of not calling him, bat should leave the case where it was. Mr. Lewis said if this was done he should submit that there was no case at all, and that there was nothing to show that the article applied to Mr. Sothern at all. Alter some dimension, the Lord Mayor refined to adjourn the inquiry, and Mr. Lewis said that he should cross-exa mine Mr. Sothern upon the materials with which he was at present furnished. Mr. Sothern was accordingly recalled and cruse-examined. He said—My name is Sothern. That is my real name, but I have been known by the name of Douglas Stewart. This was is America. I belonged to a theatrical company io America during the years 1854, 1855, and 1856. Mr. Lewis—You were formerly a spiritualist, I believe ? Mr. Sotheru—l was, and I endeavoured to induce others te believe in spiritu alis m I did so for a period of two years. There were several other gators who were associated with me in these proceedings. We did not make any charge to the public for the exercise of our powers. (A laugh.)

Not only have the large importettons of men stook from Indeed and Scotland, oia Peterborough, for the ciowity of Norfolk, in coesequestoe of the orders tamed by goveenmest with the view of checking the celemity, been Srei stopped but also the whole of the markets and fairs out the Great Eastern territory have been par dilly Cattle eilesnama, graders, asd others oosnectsd with egrieniture therefore make lees use of the facilities afforded by the market and other trains ; besides which, there bee been less demand for commodities maser-led with the feeding of stook. The directors feel that it is only fair to the new board. and just to the propitiated, sot only that the whole of the current charges against the revenue should be brought into the amounts, bat also that all sneers should be got rid of, so that the present board may be in • position to oommence their administration with an min cambered balanee-shest, en m fro the lat Jan led ; this in the former mu they believe bee beat da m,and it will now be the duty of the directors, half-year 17 half. to see that every charge applicable to revenue m so debited yeer, , whilst at the lame time they will most zealously ascertain how far expenses now existing may be reduced, due regard being had to that efficieeey and punctuality which are so essential to give necessary accommodation in working the traffic. The condition In which the late board left the finances of the convey rendered it imperatively neowry that no time should be lost by the new board in taking the most energetic steps to meet the prude& liabi lities, and, in feet, this subject has moupied their daily at tention, and they have now to report that after great con sideration and anxiety they are able to express • hope that arrangements have been made by which this object will be obtained, bet in order to carry them folly into effect, the shareholders will be asked at the conclusion of the business of the half-yearly meeting to give their sanction to the rais ing of the repeal for which this mummy acquired pule nmetary powers is 1895. The report made to the share holders at the bell-yearly meeting in August lad contained • copy of the heads of three agreements, which the late directors had entered into, nantl i = 1.

" Heads of agreement between the Great &stern, Nucleate', Sheffield, sad Lincolnabire, and Great Northern Companies ;" 3. " Heeds of easement between the Great Eastern and Manchester, Sheffield, and Linoolnahire Companies ;" but in consequence of there not having been • sufficient amount of stock repre sented to constitute the meeting, at which such report wee submitted, no action was taken by tie proprietors in respect of such heads of agreements. The late committee of inves tigation stated in their report, under date the 19th January last :—" Upon the proposed arrangement between this company and that of the Great Northern Railway Cero pany, the committee consider that an arrangement, if founded upon sound oommemial principles, would be highly desirable for both parties; but they would suggest that for the present, considering the large outlay necessary, and the uocertaia character of the ad vantage@ supposed to be secured to this company, any proceedings for giving e ff ect to it should be suspended. The board of dine ors adopt the views enneciated by the committee of investigation, end have formally made known to the Great Northern, aed Manchester, Sheffield, and Linooloshire Companies, that in the present position of this company it is undesirable to proceed with the bills as deposited ; and have also expressed their opinion that be fore the board can moommen i their shareholders to adopt the agreements, the terms will require further considera tion. There are three vacancies in the direction to be filled up at this meeting consequent on the resignation of Mr. James Goodson, M.P., Mr. Samuel Anderson, and Mr. George Parker Bidder.

Henry Archer or .Frair, 18, an impudent looking fellow, was indicted for attempting to steal divers keys, belonging to a certain female, whose name is unknown, from her person. Mr. Montagu Williams prosecuted, Mr. Pater defended. Mr. Montagu Williams stated the facts to the jury. Sergeant Cole, 23 0, wee on duty near Scotland-yard plain clothes on the 6th of February, the day her Majesty opened parliament, when he observed the prisoner put his hand through a hole in hi pocket into amoral persons' pockets. Charles Oole, police sergeant 23 0, wee called and ex amined. lie stated that be showed Mr. Flowers, the magistrate at Bow-street, the hole in the prisoner's pocket, Mr. Pater cross-examined Sergeant Cole et some leogtb, and the prisoner showed his coat to the jury, who failed to find any hole or trace of a hole in the pocket. (One of the jurymen was said to bee tailor.) Sergeant Gale endeavoured to explain to the court and jury that the hole was not in the pocket but in the lining of his coat ; the aperture being made at the top of the pocket, the prisoner would put his hand down by the side of the pocket, and out of the bottom of the lining. Mr. Montage Williams mid it had been elicited in the other court bef o re the learned Assistant-Judge, that the prisoners had opportunities of sewing up holes in their clothes. Mr. Pater dissented to this. Mr. Mintier' Williams said he believed that it was so, and if there was say officer of the prison present he should like to ask him whether it was so or not. Warder Tinnoch, of the House of Detention, proved that if the prisoners required needles and thread they would be supplied to them upon application to the go vernor. After e very eloquent address from Mr. Pater, The jury Acquitted the primmer. THE POLICE COURTS. THAMES. A poor, thinly-clad, and wretched-looking woman, named Mary Ann Lome, came before Mr. Paget to complain that ahe had been defrauded of 20.. by the " St. George Co-ope rative, Provident, and Industrial Society (Limited), stores, 20, joha-street, Cannot-street-road East, 1, Oatheries street, Oommercial-road East, store and bakery, 4, John street, Old Gravel-lane, St. George-in-the-East." Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, explained that the poor woman came before Mr. Partridge on Tuesday, and said that her husband. • journeyman shoemaker, of No. 7, Wells-yard, Peters - court, Rosemary-lane, had invested 20a. in the co-operative society, which he paid by three penny and sixpenny instalments, and that he had applied and given notice to withdraw his money, bet no notice whatever was taken of his application. Mr. Partridge dis covered that the book of printed rules and regulations con tained • clause referring all disputes to arbitration, sod advised her to serve a nodes on the secretary, demanding arbitration. The applicant—l went there last night by the advice of Mr. Partridge. The place is looked up. Mr. Paget—Yoe must put up with it if you join such societies as these, where the magistrates have no juris diction. Let me see the printed riles and regulations. Mrs. Loans banded the book to the magistrate, and while he was perusing it said the committee who got up the concern were very poor at the commencement, sod bad become tolerably rich men. Her husband had subscribed 205., a few pence at a time, on the assurance that he would get ioterest for his mon ey and obtain his provisions cheap. No interest had been pai d, and the provisions were dearer at the company 's co-operative stores than elsewhere. She pond 24d. for a half pound of sugar, which she could obtain of as good quality at a grocer's for 2d. Candies were • penny a pound dearer at the stores. When her child died and her hus band wanted the money to assist io defraying the expenses to bury it, he was told by the committee that it must be buried by the parish. She and her family were not the L only sufferers. Mr. Paget put an end to the impassioned declamation of the poor woman by returning the book, and saying—" cannot help you.• There were other poor individual' who had invested small . auras in the society waiting with great anxiety the decision . of the magistrate.. TRH CASE or SHOOTING IN PADDIIITOTOW.—At the Marylebose Police-murk yesterday, Joseph Ward, 28, residing in a boat, was charged with shooting Thomas Liffey, a bootreaker, living at 16, Woodfield-place, Pad dington.

On looking over the parapet he saw the figure of a man on the towing path, and he was qoarrelling with a woman in the boat, and both man and woman were min foul language. The man then stepped into the boat, and bad a scale with the woman in the cabin, which drew forth remarks from some persona on the bridge, upon which the man said, " I will fetch something that will reach you ' a good way off."
