SITENSIVE FRAUDS ON MARINE INSURANCE COMPANIES.-THE SCUTTLING A SHIP AT SEA. MANSION-HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.) Joseph Stanfield Dean, a well-dressed middle aged man, described as being a eommisidon agent, residing at No. 35, Malpae.street, New-cross, Deptford, was brought up before Alderman Lusk, M.P., in custody of Detective Sergeants Henry Webb and Jobe Mark Bull, charged on a warrant issued by Mr` Alderman Mania, " for that he, with others, did unlaw fully conspire, combine, confederate, and agree together by false and fraudulent pretences, and subtle devices to acquire and obtain to themselves of and from the London and Caledonian Marine Insurance Company, having offices to Cornhill and at Liverpool, the monies of the said com pany, with intent to cheat and defraud them of the same." This case it appears arose out of the scuttling the ship lawn, off the Cape de Verde Islands, in the month of May last, as reported at the examination at the Mansion bone a few days ago of Webb, the chief mate of the ship, c harged with that offence. Mr. George Lewis, instructed by Captain William Down yard on behalf of Lloyd's Salvage Association,appeared fcr the prosecution. From the opening statements of Mr. Lewis it seemed that the prisoner effected a policy of insurance on certain goods alleged byhim to have been shipped on board the lost ship, the Serena, aril whieli geed* never had been shipped. though the amountel the policy, 1,,b00/., had been demanded and paid. A reward had been offered for the apprehen sion of the prisoner, and also for another person implicated in the transaction, but the latter had not been captured. Mr. Lewis added that the ends of justice required that he should simply offer such formal evidence as would justify a remand until the prisoner Webb, charged with scuttling the ship, should be brought up for further examination. These formal proofs having been made, the prisoner was remanded. THE DISPUTE IN THE IRON TRADE. WOLVERHAMPTON, Mosney Naar. A conference of ironworkers was held here today. There were 30 delegates present. After con lidera:de discussion, it was decided that henceforth there shall be only one executive and one code of rules for England, Scotland, and Wales. The Brierley-hill district was not represented. The millmen will not amalgamate, but they have voted 5001. for the north. The conference was adjourned till to-morrow. ANOTHER CASE OP SUPPOSED CHILD MURDER. DiQIIIIST.-(THIS DAY.) This afternoon Mr. Humphreys, coroner, held an inquiry at the George and Dragon Tavern, Shadwell Nr'gh•atreec, relative to the supposed murder of a female Alexander Higgs, 1, Labour-in-Vain-street, Shadwell, a saddler, said that hist Friday evening while walking past the animal charcoal works near Gravel-lane, he kicked his foot against a parcel. He found that it was a brown paper parcel, tied with string, and contained the body of a child. He saw no one about, and he went to the police with the child. Blake, 66 K, said that he received the parcel from the last witness, and he immediately instituted inquiries. He found that a woman had been seen loitering about the ptee of the charcoal works, but nothing more could be learued. The spot where the body was deposited wax very dark at night. Dr. Daniel R 033 said that the body was that of a full timed female child. It had fully breathed, and its death vat caused by a strong pressure on the nose and over the mouth. He could not, of course, state positively that the child had had a separate existence at the time it received the fatal injuries. There was certainly no skilled atten dance at the birth. The Coroner said that in the absence of proof that the deceased had had a legal separate existenoe the vereiet should be an open one. The jury returned a verdict, " That the female child in question was found dead iu the public street, but whether the said child bad a separate existence and was born alive the evidence fails to prove." 8 L.Y.

A large number of working men availed themselves of the privilege of attending the lectures, the fee for the course of six being six_pence. DEATH OF MR. CHARLES DAVIS. —The death of Mr. Charles Davis so soon after Mr. James Mason was rather singular, for both were perhaps the most elegant horsemen of their day. A more loyal servant than Davis the sovereigns of England never possessed, and it was a proud reflection to him to know that they estimated him so much. Mr. Davis's father, so says " The Druid," in his entertaining volume of " Scott and Sebright," was in the household of George the Third, and it is stated in proof of the long existing connexion between his son Charles and the court that when he was a lad of 18 he rode side by side with anotherlad with abrace of horsepistols, with the King, whose horses being knocked up after a terrific run from Alder maston to Reading, rode home in a butcher's taxed cart, and talked of nothing but crops and stock by the way. The only emblem of royalty on this and other occasions of • similar nature were the yeoman prickers. Hobby, • bay horse, was the King's last and best hunter, and by the royal order no hand but Mr. Davis's was permitted to shoot him, and his ear is still kept anion.; that great huntsman's treasures. with the first hare (a white one) he ever saw killed. Mr. Davis's appointment as huntsman was gazetted in 1822, when George the Fourth, with whom be bad always been a great favourite, wrote to him himself, saying, " It delights me to hear you have got the }wands ; I hope you'll get them so fast they will run away from everybody." As • hunstman he never had an equal, and it is saying something for him to state that he got on well with all the different masters of buckbounds under whom he served, as • visit to his house at Afoot Heath will show, • for it contains no end of testimonials from them. In the royal procession up the New Mile at Ascot, which he always headed, he was one of the meet conspicuous cha raiders ; and the grace with which he sat his famous grey horse, The Hermit, was, when once seen, never to be ; forgotten. In Sir Francis Grant's picture of " The Royal I Hunt," which was painted for the late Lord Chesterfield, he is portrayed to the very life ; and there is another very good portrait of him in circulation, taken on another favourite horse called Traverser. On his retirement from ! office last year a handsome pension was granted him, and he was allowed to remain is his house. By the Queen's • express command also, • riding -hone was kept for him so that he might amuse himself when he felt iodised to do so ; and I may say, without risking contradiction, that no • royal retainer ever died more regretted than Charles Davis.

ITALIAN IRRIOArioN CANAL COMPANY. (THIS DAY.) A meeting of shareholders of this company was held at 1 o'clock, at the London Tavern, idr. W. F. SPLATT in the chair, to receive from that gentleman a report of his visit to Turin, and investigation of the works of the canal, sad to take such steps as might be deemed neoes- Nag to rescue the company from its present condition. The Soucrros of the company (Mr. Burton) observed . that none of the English directors were present; adding I( that they thought it desirable that the company should if be reconstitut ed , and had authorised him to place their 5 resignation before the meetink. (Cheers.) Tbs CHAIRMAN then proceeded to read his report. He commenced by alluding to his large interest In the con- ; cern, and then went on to say that he was clearly of opinion that the concession should never have been ac cepted on the terms offered, as none of the Italian canals paid under the present system. The fees of the Italian directors amounted to about 10,0001. per annum, and there had been great extravagance in the management This was the real cause of the com pany's difficulties. The Italian government had refused to pay the guarantee on the ground that the canal was not finished. At a meeting held recently at Turin the directors there asked for a vote of thanks for their past services, de claring on their honour that they would resign if such a vote were passed. This could not be acceded to on the part of the English shareholders ; but the meeting was managed on behalf of the Italian directors. The Italian directors did not hold a large interest. It was remarkable that the Italian solicitor of the company was out of the way at the „ time of the meeting, the inference being that it was ; desired to avoid questions. If the company were reconstituted, and some capital found to complete the I works the concern might still right itself. He could not believe that the Italian government would allow their interests to be sacrificed when their money had made se veral thousand acres of useless land valuable. (Cheers.) In reply to a question, The CHAIRMAN said from 60,0001. to 100,0001. would be sufficient to finish the •-orks. A SHARRHOLDIR remarked that the chairman had 80,0001. embarked in the concern, and was well deserving of confidence. The Italian directors were opposing every obstacle to improvement, having but little s tand snug berths of 2501. a year. Mr. YOUNG (liquidator of the Imperial Mercantile Company) observed that the guarantee was given upon obligations and bonds to the amount of 3,200,0001., but it was now necessary that the guarantee should extend to a million more. The government had assented to the appointment of a commission to ascertain what was required to complete the works so as to entitle the shareholders to thegnarantee, and he believed there would soon be a report favourable to the company. I He had no doubt that the Italian parliament would ratify the guarantee. In - reply to a question, The CHAIRMAN said that the company would be allowed some years to finish the subsidiary works. The 100,0001. which he had said might be required was wanted for the canal itself. In reply to questions, The CHAIRMAN said the guarantee of 6 per cent could not, under the concession, begin to take effect before the 15th of lass April, and the whole revenue of the canal this year did not exceed 12,000 f. A discussion having ensued as to the safety of the guarantee, Mr. EVANS deprecated questions which tended to injure the interests of the shareholders. The bonds were issued on royal authority, and he could not believe that the Italian government would not act properly in the matter. He con cluded by moving the following resolution : " That this meeting expresses its acknowledgments to the committee for their services on behalf of this coin pany, and especially tenders its thanks to W. F. Splatt, Esq., as well for his arduous labours in Italy as for his able repot t ; and this meeting believe that an entire change of the administration is imperatively called for, and earnestly requests all share holders to forward their proxies to the secretary without delay as already requested by the committee." The resolution having been seconded, A SHARRHOLDER inquired whether there was any time fixed for the completion of the works in order that the guarantee might he secure. (" Don't say.") The CHAIRMAN had no objection to state that the time would expire on the 27th of February next. The resolution was adopted, as was also one requesting the committee to continue their services.

Is. 11—London, Oct. 29, 1866. . , The committee decided yesterday that the Stock Exchange shall be closed, as usual, on the Ist of November (Thursday next), the day fixed for striking the half-yearly balance at the Bank of England, where the transfer offices will likewise be shut. . . . . There were no transactions in bullion at the Bank yesterday. The Shannon has arrived from the West Indies with 264,0001. in specie, and the Teutonia, from New York, with 10,0301. The report of the directors of the Great Indian Peninsular Railway Company, to be presented at the half-yearly meeting on Friday next, is unusually interesting, because this is the first occasion on which an Indian railway com pany has shown a clear surplus profit over and above the government guarantee, and accordingly yielding to the shareholders a profit beyond the guaranteed rate. After all deductions, the half-year's net receipts were 423,9961., and, deducting from this sum the half-year's guaranteed interest, amounting to 364,3011., the surplus profit, after entirely reliev ing the government from all charge on ac count of the guarantee, was 69,5551., being equal to 11. 4s. per cent. per annum on the paid-up share capital. This is the more remarkable because, in consequence of a large portion of the company's system being still under construction, a part of the capital may be regarded as at present comparatively unproductive. The fact that the Great Indian Peninsula Railway has earned a total net profit on its share capital at the rate of 6/. 4s. per cent. per annum, is full of encouragement to the share holders in Indian railway companies generally, and can scarcely fail to stimulate the government to deal liberally in the future with those who are engaged in the great work of supplying our Indian empire with the means of communication so essential to its progress and development. Inas much, however, as, by the terms of the contract, only one-half of the surplus profit is divisible amongst the railway proprietors—the other half being applied to reimbursing the government for the sum already advanced by it for interest—the amount to be received by the shareholders on the present occasion is limited to ss. per cent., which will leave a balance to be carried forward to the next half-year's account. Reference is also made to the sanction lately given by the Secretary of State for India to the company's raining one million sterling on Guaranteed Five per Cent. Debentures, which are now being offered to the public. The receipts of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, for the week ending the 29th ult., were 34,3261. sterling, being 5321. less than last year ; and those for the week ending the Gth inst., were 29,632/., being 2,156/. leas than last year. An extraordinary general meeting of the Mer chant Shipping Company (Limited), is called for the 14th November, to confirm the directors' pro posal with reference to the surrender of shares, as lately described. The South Eastern Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1,586/. over last year. We are requested to state that Mr. It. B. Starr has joined the board of the Amity Investment Com pany (Limited). With reference to the growing crop of cotton in America, the following is from the circular of Messrs. Neill Brothers and Co., dated New York, the 16th inst. : Our advice, on this subject are, as a whole, of pre cisely similar character to those published in our last. The average Southern estimate is about 1.500.000 bales, while the more candid and cautions admit that, in spite of all the damage which the crop undoubtedly sustained by tbe Sep tember rains and worms, a yield of 2,000,000 bales is yet far from im, robable in case of a late frost and a conti nuance of such favourable weather for picking as the planters are now generall enjoj.ing. The receipts are increasing, giving this week by telegram the respectable total of 25,000 bales, and there is every prospect that the necessities of planters will make them ready sellers of, at least, the first half of their crops. Ii is therefore not to be expected that prices will he l ong ma i ntained on this side, as at present, above the parit) , of Liverpool. Either that market must advan c e or quotations must fall on this aide. MONDAY EVENING.

PARTICIPATION OF THE MILITARY TN POLIYICAL DISPLAYS. —The attendance of the band of the 3rd Buffs at the political banquet to Sir Hugh Cairns on Fiiday evening I.st has been the subject of much comment, and it is nut unreasonably regarded as a grave scandal. The instruments are the property of the officers of the regi ment, who also, we believe, defray the expenses of the bandmaster ; but the men themselves are the servants of the nation which pays them, and should never be made to play the part of politi cal partisans. It is impos sible to conceive of • proceeding more subversive of military discipline, or more calculated to destroy public confidence in the military, and to engender. bad feeling between them and their fellow-countrymen, than the employment of soldiers to lend velar to the celebra tion of the triumphs of political parties, whether they be whigs or conservatives, tones or radicals. We should like to bear what Sir Hugh Cairns and his Blends would say if a military band were to attend the banquet to Mr. Bright to-morrow evening. One Can fancy the answer Lord ntrathnairn would give to • request for the presence of a band at that gathering. It was bad enough that the band of the 3rd Buffs should attend a political banquet to the late Attorney-General for Eng land, but their presence there was a greater outrage ea courtitational feeling and public decency, when that baa quet was converted into an undisguised electionairiag caucus " on behalf of Mr. Charles Ls non, whom Sir Hugh Cairns spoke of as " a candidate soliciting the suf frages of the electors of Belfast," and in response to the toast of whose health as such the band played " nee the conquering hero comes." The public are likely to bear more of this matter, for we understand it will be brought under the notice of H.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge as commander-in-chief.—Northern Whip. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CANNON-STREET RAIL WAY.—Lest evening Mr. William Payne, the City coroner, held an inquiry at Guy's Hospital respecting the death od Charles Gale, aged 32 years. Robert Gale, 21, Little Queen-street, Westminster, father of the deceased, said that his son bad been sergeant in the 13th Light Infantry. He was an instructor of musketry. His hearing had be come affected by the sound of the cannon while be wee fighting in the trenches in the Crimea at the time of the fall of Sebastopol. He had seen service in India daring the mutiny. He left the army when his time was up, sad returned from India. On the 28th of last month he entered the service of the South Eastern Railway Com pany as a signal-lamp lighter and point-cleaner. Thome Wild, foreman of plate-layers, said that on Fri day last, at about ha lf--iast 4 o'clock, the deceased was oiling the points at the Borough-market junction of the Cannon-street branch of the South Eastern Railway. He was standing in the " 4 part " of the up line, and an up train came along at the rate of ten miles an hour, and the buffer beam of the engine struck him on the head. He was knocked down, and the whole train passed over his body. The deceased had had his back turned to the engine, and the driver attempted to call his attentive to his danger by giving the " short chopping whistle,* which means " clear the road." There was at the thus a down train passing on the down line, but the driver of that engine gave the " long shrill whistle," which means seal not down," and the deceased might have beams* confused between the two whistles. He tiled from hb in juries. Mr. L. Pemba said be had instructed the dammed his duties, and he bad cautioned him never to work with his back to an approaching train. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."
