THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 1, 1866. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) IMPORTANT TO ONNIBUB RIDZRS. Ofkrtie Darer all, of 20, Barnanl-terrace, Holloway, was summoned by Alfred Ray, a conductor in the employ of the London General pmlidnia Company, for refusing to pay him 034., his lawful fare. From the evidence it appeared that the defendant rode in the complainant's omnibus, a Favorite, plying between I Brompton and Holloway, on Sunday evening, the 14th ; inst. After 8 o'clock on the Sunday evening all persons are charged Cal. whether they ride the whole or a portion of the distance. At Tottenham-court-roadthe defendant hailed I the complainant, and as the defendant was getting in the I omnibus the complainant told Lim that the fare was Cal., on which the defendant said, " A shilling if you like." On coming down the Euston-roal the defendant was very abusive to the complainant, who, however, took no notice of it. When the omnibus got to the corner of the St. James's-road the defendant got down, and he then refuse to pay anything, and it was not until the police were called that the conductor cluld get the defendant's name and address. The conductor, not wishing to be harsh with the defendant before he took out the sum mons, sent round to his house to know if he would pay the fare, bat as he refused the present proceedings were taken. The magistrate ordered the defendant to pay the amount of the fare, tid., and 10a. costs ; or, in default of payment, five days' impriaonment. The money was at once paid. MARLBOROUGH-MEET. WANTON MISCHIEF. Wm. Parry, described as a stableman without any home, was charged before Mr. Knox with wilfully smashing a large pane of glass In the shop-window of Mr. Higgs, chemist, No. 3.5, Piccadilly. Mr. Higgs said—Last night, about 9 o'clock, I was in my parlour, and hearing a crash of glass, went out and saw the prisoner standing in front of my shop. The prismsr stepped up to me and calmly said, "Pm the non who did it. I wish to be given in charge." I sent for a con stable and gave the prisoner in charge. Mr. Knox—What is the value of the glass! Mr. Higgs—Three pounds. Mr. Knox -Are you Insured! Mr. Higgs—l am not. Police-constable Sethbricige, 58 C, said, on going to Mr. Higgs's shop and asking the prisoner why he had broken the window, he said that he could not get a night's lodging, so he broke the window to get one. The prisoner had been to the Vine-street station to get an order for the work house, but they were all gone, and the prisoner left saying he was determined to have a lodging, and went into Jer -Iqm-street, and having provided himself with a piece of brick went back and broke the window. Prisoner-I've no questions to ask. I did it to get a lodging for the night. Mr. Knox—lf that was your object, you ought have broken a smaller window, at any rate. The unfortunate gentlemen (Mr. Higgs) never did you any harm. It is wanton and atrocious piece of mischief, and I shall send you for the full term of two months, with bard labour. WORSHIP-STREET. A JUVENILE HOUSE-STRAUB.. Edward Seckree, a rough-looking boy, under 12 years of age, living with his parents at 4, Albert-street, Honierton, was charged with stealing a black horse, the property of James Capps, a cow-keeper, of Tudor-grove, llennertou. Baker, 1:35 N, said that early this morning he saw the boy leading the horse out of the road running from Hackney Marshes, and asked him whose it was. Prisoner replied, "My father's." 'Witness doubted this, and told him so on which the boy said, " Well, if it is not his, it's so much like it that I don't know the difference." Witness took him to the address given, and ascertained that his father had not any horse. Prosecutor now elsimed the animal, which he had left on the marshes to feed. He know nothing o' tie; p 1., u, The constable added that prisoner haul wi.li hi, .1 saddle and bridle. Prosecutor said that he knew 'totting of those articles. and it was pretty certain that au older hand was engaged in the robbery. The prisoner cried, and only promised not to do such a thing again, if forgia en now. The Magistrate observed that he should certainly not part with bin, until further information was obtained ; and the young prisoner, declining to be more communica tive, was locked up. SOUTHWARK- CAI: FARE DISPUTE. — THE CHILD QUESTION AGAIN. Mr. Edward Dante, a gentleman, residing at 14, Boun dary-road, Kilburu, was summoned by George Charles Jewell, cab driver, badge No. firs?, for neglecting and re fusing to pay him the sum of lid., being the remainder of the fare due to him. The complainant, a very civil man, said that on the 23rd ult., he was called otf the cab stand at Kilburn to go to the defendant's house in the Boundary-road. lie then took up the gentleman and two children, one about nine, and the other ten yearsof age, and drove them to the Water loo Railway terminus in the Waterloo-road. The distance wasbeyond six w ilea from the esibsststrul at Kilburn, souse quently he wasentitled Utre,and.l.l. for theextraehild. The defendant here said that he was of opinion that the complainant was not entitled to be paidfor the second child. He bail no luggage, and as there was only himself and the two children the latter ought to be considered as only one person. Both children were under 10 years of age, and he believed it had been decided that they could only be charged BS one fare. The magistrate told him he must have misunderstood the decision given by the court above in a case granted by the magistrate at Marlborough-street, on the :ird of June, 11e62. In that ease the cab-driver was charged with exacting Cal. beyond his fare. He had three adult persons and a child ten weeks old. The magistrate did not con sider that the driver was entitled to charge for the child. consequently he convicted him. A case was then asked for and granted, and came before the full court for argument. The decision of the judges was that the driver was entitled to the fare for the child, and they reversed the judgment given by the magistrate. Taking all the circumstances of the case and the decision of the courts above into consideration, ho (Mr. Partridge) was of opinion that the complainant was en titled to the extra lid. for the second child, therefore the defendant must pay him that sum, :ts. for the cabman's loss of time, and 2s. costs of the summons, making alto gether roe. ficl. Mr. Doyle informed Lis worship that Le only defended the case on public grounds. believing that he was right. He, however, most cheerfully bowed to the decision, and as the driver had beau exceedinglycivil, he should give him an extra tis. for his trouble in bringing the case to the court. WAN DSWORTH. PAINFUL RESULT OF A COMMITTAL. On Tuesday last, a carpenter, named Urorge Stone, of Gay-street, Putney, was committed to prison for 21 days with hard labour for violently assaulting Stephen Farmer, assistant bailiff at the Wandsworth County Court. The evidence in the case went to prove that the com plainant was put in possession by Mr. W. Goff, the bailiff of the court, who had a warrant to levy on the prisoner's goods for a sum of 51. 2s. :id. When the prisoner returned home he tore the warrant and struck the complainant several times in the face. The complainant went away, but returned with a constable and gave the prisoner in charge. After the case was heard and decided the prisoner was removed to the Wandsworth House of Correc tion in the usual way mud on the fact being made known to his wife who was near her coufinement, she became painfully excited and was attacked with convulsions. Medical aid was obtained and it was found that she was dangerously ill. The friends of the prisoner then waited upon Inspector Usher at the IS andsworth police station with a view of obtaining the man's release from custody. The inspector having no power to interfere advised them to make an application to the committing magistrate. They proceeded, accordingly, to the Hammer smith police-court, where they made known their applies tion'to Mr. Ingham, who informed them that he could not interfere, and advised them to petition the Secretary of State for the man's discharge. On Wednesday Mr. Ingham was informed that the wife had died, leaving six young children totally unprotected. The magistrate then ordered Mr. Andrew. the clerk, to copy the evidence in the case from the minutes and forward the papers to the Secretary of State, with a view of inducing him to direct the immediate discharge of the unfortunate hus band. In the course of the afternoon the papers were for warded to the official residence of Mr. Walpole. C. , MMITTAL FOR HORSE-STEALING. Alfred ;Ph itt„n farrier. was finally examined on a charge of stealing three horses from ettpliamconnuon, and selling them to Mr. Wallis, a horse-slaughterer, in Garrett-lane, Wandsworth. The prisoner, who gave a false name when disposing of the homes. admitted selling three, and said he bought them. He also said thate reason he gave a false name was that he thought he should obtain more money f , .r the horses. Mr. Hayman committed him for trial. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE :CORTI' LONDON RAlL WAT.—YesterdAy a very shocking and fatal accident hap pened at the Bow station of the North London Railway. It appears that an engine cleaner, named Samuel Line, was about returning to his home at Poplar, and as a goods train was passing the station at the rate of be tween eight and nine miles an hour, be made an attempt to get into the break van next to the tender. In doing so, he missed his hold and footing, and instantly fell down amongst the trucks which were rattling along. The engine-dri%er saw the poor creature fall, and did his utmost to stop the train. Most of the waggons passed over the body, and two of the trucks were I jerked off the rails. The death of the unhappy man was of course instantaneous. His remains weie found to be frightfully mutilated, the body being cut in two. They were removed to the dead-honse at Bow-church, and as inquest was to be held to-day. The deceasedhadouly been three or four weeks in the service of the company, having formerly followed the sea. In attempting to get into the break of the goods train when in motion he acted in dia. obedience of the company's rules. RUN OYER AND KILLED BY AN OMNIBUS. Last evening, Mr. Wm. Payne, the City coroner, held an inquiry at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, respecting the death of Thomas Warton, aged 9 years, The deceased was the son of a printer, living at No. 38, Leonard-street, Finsbury, and on Wednesday morning he was swinging ou the top of the " tail board' pin "of a van that was being driven at a rapid rate through Fins bury-square. He suddenly let go his hold, and fell in front of the bursts of a Chelsea omnibus. William Packer, a coach-builder, said that be wax riding on the front part of the omnibus at the time , and he called out to the driver, J. liraythwaite, and the horses were at once pulled up, but they "skidded" their feet along the ground, and pushed the deceased before them. One of the horses raised his foot and kicked the deceased on the head, who instantly stretched out his body and extended his arm. The horse then walked upon him, and the omnibus wheel passed over his body. The boy was then picked up and taken to the hospital. Mr. T. Cunningham, house surgeon, said that the deceased expired on Saturday last from the effects of a fracture of the spine. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death," and they added that there was no blame attached to the omnibus driver. - - ----- TERRIBLE COLLIERY EXPLOSION. TWENTY-FIVE LIVES LOST. Yesterday morning a fearful explosion of fire damp, causing the loss of twenty-five lives, occurred at the Felton Colliery, a pit-working about nine miles south west of Newcastle-on-Tyne, and five miles from Durham. The Pelimn Colliery is not a very extensive working, and is owned by Messrs. Hutchinson and Co., who have ever been known by the card they take in looking after the proper ventilation of their pit. Latterly, a new seam, called the Button Bank seam, has been opened, and an additional number of workmen engaged therein. Between 2 and 3 o'clock on Wednesday morning, thirty men and boys went down the shaft to work the night shift in the new seam, and they pursued their vocation for about two hours, when an unusual smell of gas was noticed. This, how ever. created no aerie••• apprehensions among the colliers at the thee. Shortly ait...r 5 o'clock in the morning a terrible explosion was beard, not only in the pit, but throughout the whole neighbourhood above ground. Immediately dense volumes of smoke and dirt were vomited forth from the mouth of the pit, end the whole district became panic stricken. Crowds of people, many of whom had relatives in the pit, rushed to the bank to learn what had occurred, and as soon as the nature of the appalling catastrophe became known, the scene was heartrending. A number of volunteers quickly set to work with a will, to render aid to those down below. The viewer and under-viewer took the direction of the volunteers, and in the course of an hour or two a score of men had descended the bloat. At first the stithe was too overpowering to allow of the men doing much, but when this had been partially cleared away, the volun teers were enabled to reach the scene of the explosion. It was then discovered that not fewer than twenty-five poor fellows had met their death, either by the explosion itself, or the equally deadly after-damp. Their bodies, some shockingly burnt, others in a quiet, calm, and placid sleep to all appearance, were scattered all over the seam. and the sight was almost too appalling for the volunteers who had descended the shaft. The search was then proceeded with to discover the living, and up to a late hour yesterday three persons had been found alive. Then the work of sending up the bodies began, and as the relations of each identified a father, a brother, or kinsman, they were carried to their homes in the village close by. Owing to such a large crowd having assembled on and about the mouth of the pit, the ser vices of .1 body of constables had been called in to keep clear a space for the workers. Messrs. Hutchinson are doing all they can to alleviate the sufferings of the widows and orphans of those whose lives have been thus momen tarily snatched away. There is yet one more of the bodies to be found, As up to 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon twenty four had been sent up the shaft. Every inquiry will be made as to the muse of the explosion, and the government impeder of mines is already busied about the workings. Such a fearful explosion has not been known in the county for sonic years. What makes the explosion more strange is the fact that the owners of the colliery not long since erected a ventilating apparatus on a gigantic scale, which . has hitherto been found to work very well. ho., . engage,' at stable duty until 7 o'clock, has had but a short hour to s p en d nu t o f t h e barracks.

The Bank of England rate of discount is still per cent., the directors having decided, at thei r I , weekly court this morning, to make no change for' the present. A reduction to 4 per cent. was anti cipated in many quarters yesterday, owing to the moderate extent of the applications for discount at the Bank during the week, and to the fact that 304,000 i. in gold had been sent in since the date of the last return. It is inferred that the directors l:A:tate to reduce the official Mintlll44M in cense qnellee of the prospective active demand fur silver fo: the East, as well as for gold for France. There i is now a moderate inquiry for bullion fur expel- tation to Paris, and, with a further slight decline in the exchange, increased amounts would doubt less be taken. Shipments of sovereignsto Alexandria will still also be made, while the total in Anstralhoi gal known to be on the way to England is only P.:2,090/. The mail from Melbourne, the arrival of which at Point de tlalle has just been telegraphed, wiil, however, report fresh remittances. There is no new feature al the discount market to-day. The supply of money is still large, while few bills are offering. The general rate is 4 per cent, but occasional transactions have occuivcd The Stock Exchange is closed to-day, according to custom, and we have, therefore, no transactions to report in stocks and shares.

' The subjoined circular has been forwarded to the shareholders in the Northern Railway of Bueno s Ayres Company (Limited) : geti, Gresham-house, Old Broad-street, London, E.C., 30th October, Sir,-1 am instructed to inform you that at a conference held recently between the directors and several large holders of shares in this company, the full board being present. also Mr. Morris, the company's solicitor, the chairman stated that the pressing and urgent claims upon the company amounted to about 7,:a*/. After disetithion awl deliberation on the subject, it War; au :Nested by an influential shareholder, and unanimously resolved,—That the directors should apply to the share holders to advance the above sum by a sultscripton of 10a. per share. A special general meeting of the shareholders will therefore be held at the London Tavern, Ilishopsgate-street. on Thursday, the sth day of November next. at 1 o'clock precisely, to consider and decide upon what terms and conditions the nt tem...try funds shall be raised for the purpose of discharging the pressing tool urgent claims upon the oompany. By the Inn 11 last received, the directors are glad to learn Mt. Thompson, the company's representative in Buenos Ayres, is taking the necessary ati.ps for indticin the president there to deal equitali'y with the company's claim in regard to the guarantee. and he expects to receive the co-operation of the representa tives of the Central Argentine and the great southern lines in referent.: thereto, as if au erroneous or unjust principle be adopted it would affect their companieti as well as our oa n. The directors have not yet received copy of the Commis sion'a report recommending that a large deduction should be made from the company's claim, but the enclosed cx' tract front the Stamford and Rinr Plak ors of the 12th ult. (a leading journal in Buenos Ayres) will be read with interest, and shows the erroneous views entertained by the Commissiett as to some items which they think ought not to I.e chat ge.l to roo•ouo• account. I am directed to add that the traffic receipts. from the end of March to duly inclusive, show a satisfactory increase, vie., about 3I per cent. as compared with 1210.1, that the working expenses in Buenos Ayres for the sante period have been diminished by about 11 per cent., and that it is confidently expected that for the current year there will he a surplus from the working of the company's line.—l MO, sir, your obodivnt servant, E. RES, Secretary. Many of the original holders of the Anglo- A nierican Telegraph shares availed themselves of the recent speculation and rise in price to part with them, and tin speculators who bought them have been disappointed at finding the public slow to take them up. It is evident that, though the public are disisosed to think Very favourably of the future prospects of the undertaking, this sort of property is so new that they have yet to realise its conaitions, and meanwhile the occasional inter ruption to the working of the land lines on the further aide proves that something has yet to be done, and some capital to be raised and expended, before instant:tneona communication between Lou don and New York will be secured. A favourable impression was pr sluced in financial circles yesterday by the unusual success which has attended the placingof the 100,1011. of New Zealand Govenintent Six per Cent. Debentures just offered. The fact that this amount was applied for more than tell times over indicates how large is the amount of capital available for investment in really sound securities. The price of issue was fixed at 921. ss. per cent., and applications were received for no less than 1,034,6001. All persons who ten dered for a smaller sum than 1,000!. will receive no allotment, and the distribution to the rest will be rather below one-tenth. This arrangement has excited some surprise, as it has been usual, when the applications, as in this instance, largely exceed the amount of a loan, to award to subscribers for 1 small amounts, who are usually the best class of holders, an allotment in full, and to give a eons ! parativelv limited proportion to applicants for larger amounts.

SLADE.—This case, involving succes sion to the baronetcy and the family estates in Hemet shire and Somersetshire of the late Sir Frederick Shute, Q.C., not be tried e. the ...i.e.. het will be argued as a special case next term before one of the superior courts at Westminster. The evidence is now being taken before Mr. Herbert, as special examiner. The point directly in volved is the validity of the marriage of the late Sir Frede rick Slade, the well-known Queen's counsel, of the Western Circuit and of the parliamentary bar, whose son, Captain Sir Alfred Slade, V.C., won his Victoria Cross at the at tack on the Redan, and is the defendant in the present proceeffings ; the plaintiff being Major-General Sir Marcus Slade, lately Governor of Guernsey. It appears that the lady whom Sir Frederick Shale married had been 'inf. viously married at Milan to a protestant Austrian officer, who was alive at the date of her second marriage; but it is contended on behalf of Sir Alfred Slade, her s o n, that, owing to the absence of some necessary formality, the previous marriage was invalid. It is understood that the late Cardinal 11 isennin and other authorities on the civil law which wax the law of Austria at that time confirmed this opinion. Sir Frederick Slade and Sir Marcus Slade were twin brothers, and were the third and fourth sons of the late General Sir John Sliek, Bart., G.C.11., who com manded a brigade throughout the Peninsular war, and died in 1859, at the age of 97.

THE QrseEc FIRE.— The governments of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, by their representatives now in London, have voted 10,000 dole. towards the relief of the sufferers by the great time at Quebec ; and the Anglo- American Telegraph Company very handsomely placed their line yesterday at the service of the governments for the communication of this fact to the Canadian autho rities, per General Fenwick Williams, at Halifax. The following sums have been forwarded in aid of the sufferers :—Messrs. M. Spartali and Co., 52/. 10s. ; Messrs. Banbury and Ringlaud, 10/. ; Mr. W. G. Lyle, sf. sa. A ; Working Man, Is., stamps. NORTH BRITISH itamwaY.—The committee of investigatio a into the affairs of this company, we under stand, have now finished their inquiry ; and their report will be in the hands of the directors on Thursday, for which day a meeting of the board has been called. The report, we believe, is likely to prove of a startling and in teresting nature, and to justify tilt anticipations as to its gravely unfavourable purport which have found currency. Among other matters, if we are correctly informed, the statement of the accountants will show, with respect to the capital accounts, a deficit of considerably over a mullion sterling ; and will represent a deficit for the last half-year of fetich dimensions as to swamp not only the promised dividend of 1 per cent., but to encroach seriously on the payment of the dividends on some of the preferential stocks. The report, it is understood, will principally or in considerable part be directed against proposals made by the direction to, and sanctioned lay, meetings o f the share holders, with reference to the carrying of sums to " con tingent " and other accounts. We believe that all or nearly all the directors—not, however, including the chair man, Mr. Hodgson—have already placed their seats at the disposal of the shareholders.—Scotamon. B.EUENT'S CANAL COMPANY.—The ordinary half yearly meeting of the proprietors in the above undertaking was held yesterday at the offices, City-road Basin, Mr. W. Parker in the chair. Mr. Abbott, the secretary, read the report, which stated that the traffic for the past six months had been 849,524 tons, and the net profit was 19,385/. Ils. fig., making, with last half-year's balance, a sum of 19,7901. 15s. sd. After appropriating 656/. 12a. sd. for interest on calls on new shares, and placing 969/. :is. Gh to the reserve fund, the director. recommended a dividend of 13s. per share, which will absorb 17,561/. 14s, leaving a balance of GU. 3a. lid. to be carried forward. The amount received on account of the new shares in 31,754/., and the expenditure 39,521/. Ba. M. The directors recommended that the 4,31 5 new shares not yet takes be offered to the proprietors generally, interest of five per cent, being paid on the calls. Messrs. S. Steward and F. M. Wilson have been elected directors in the room of Mews. J. Filcher and C. H. Plowden , deceased. The pro prietors were recommended to take their coals from the mer chants on the line of canal. The Chairman moved the adoption of the report in terms congratulatory of the wound position of the undertaking. Colonel Wilson seconded the resolution, which was adopted, and the dividend (free of income tax) declared as recommended. A resolution was also agreed to, empowering the directors to allot the 4,315 new shares in the manner the might deem most desirable. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. • LAND AT NIGHT. m from the 12 o'clock to. r the purpose Gentlemen, Id be if I had 11n occasion o f "CroPb of thl Yon refer to the cause of hat I suppos e n public life, any year, of • the world what Roy •pesze t o b e the opt n i o , nake them, I aurae that it we you have._ lan's If A great deal de e history back ;thing of, w e 'hat their law s la, from a 'my Ult laws SWIM )eople living in [dared and well rhich they lir e .

(Hear, hear.) 14. Bright visited Cardinal Cullen to-day. A Dublin correspondent of the Times writes : "Those who undertook to get up the banquet to Mr. eight worked hard to mute the demonstration successful, e sdit must be admitted that they &I not work in vain. so far 03 the arrangements were concerned nothing could be non satisfactory. I have never seen anything of the kiwi in Dublin so well ca ,„ ads, I or so systematic, and ea arrangements were corn- :1 out admirably. For this mu & credit is due to the committee, and to the a naemia band of stewards, but most of all to e a r chief, Mr. A. M. Sullivan. When we m ooed former political demonstrations in which the m embers of the Young Ireland party were concerned, we n ot be struck with the vast improvement in the way of crier and self-control, as well as with the change of senti soda iu relation to England. Political action, instead of wig repudiated, was earnestly slashed, and instead of separation, the talk was all of union and co-operation be tween the peeple of the two nations. Considering also tho b e gerogneous elements of which the assembly was com- D oW, as harmony was something wonderful. Fenianisin load no utwrance, and the ardour of Young Ireland was re mained within bounds of moderation. The speeches dna t) Donoghue, viewedlin this light, excited the aux rise of everybody, while their appropriateness and the oily, they displayed were much admired. The meeting via of a very complex character. The Roman catholics, of course, preponderated ; but every protestant denomina tiga Wel represented by some of its most respected mem lers. No doubt the desire to hear Mr. Bright induced wise to attend, though at the cost of 255. a ticket. But those who expected from the hon. gentleman & vehement and face style of oratory were much disappointed. He was re markably calm and deliberate ; his quiet manner, how ever, wn evidently due in part to the state of his health, for he spoke at times with great difficulty, evidently la bouring under a bronchial affection. He, at all events, lad every noon to be gratified with the demonetration. mSh a tribute was never before paid to an English com ner in frelazuL The assembly was remarkably good hanioumd, and appeared tolerant to everything but Sondem. The presence of hundreds of ladies in the [vil lain was also a remarkable feature in the grand picture which the round room of the Rotunda presented on this occasion." According to a correspondent of the Star Mr. Bright's speech at tint ()cautioned some alarm and regret. " For because immediately evident, and more distinctly and dittres.ehgly so as he continued his observations, that ho ins decidedly unwell. Hit throat was quito unequal to the strain of speaking long in a large room ; and his voice, more or less affected by hoarseness throughout, was occa &malty given forth with difficulty, apparently almost with gain. Except at intervals, too, there was an unwonted air of languor and constraint over him which told of weariness sad mental stream. He spoke at less length, too, than has been his habit at these gatherings. But, in so far as it was caned by the sense that it was an excess of labour, dan gerous seal exhausting, the speech was above praise. On the conclusion of Mr. Bright 's speech he felt, it would ap pear, so exhausted, that he was unable, as had been ar ranged, to propose The O'Donoghne's health, which duty devolved on the Mayor of Cork." THE CASE OP THE LATE MR. SNIDER. The Times City article of this morning contains greet letters written by Mr. Snider to a private friend, tod dated respectively Sept. 27, Oct. 3, and Oct. 18, tying a detailed account of the treatment which he had received from the government. As regards the allegation, the truth of which is denied by Mr. Clode, the soli citor to the War-office, that he was sued by the government for the sum of 11. Is. 11., he says in the first letter that in 18.19 he was called upon by the War Depart meat to convert two Eufields upon tho Storm system of breech-loading ; that be was required to make the trial with government powder and bullet ; and that a demand was soon after made upon him fur the sum of 1/. Is. 2d. for the material thus furnished, for which amount he was sub requently sued, and judgment obtained by the govern mut. The official demand of the money is mime (randy mentioned as being enclosed, and Mr. Snider , adds. would send you the writ, &c., but I cannot at present give active search enough among tny Topers to find it; but I have it somewhere with many notes urging payment." In the same letter the writer remarks that he was fur 18 months at intervals occupied is briuging the Storm system to the position it bad at tained, not that after the expenditure of thousands of muds and eight years of arduous labour, thought, and expense, he had never up to that time received from the government any remuneration. In the letter of October 3 Mr. Snider stated that, in answer to a request of Loot Hsrtington in June last, ho sent a letter to the War-office, naming' ,700/. as the amount he claimed for expenses, and for his services during the time he was troployed by the department, and that he afterwards saepted 1.0001., because he was made to understand 414 he would otherwise get nothing, and was harrasoed by tdsuients, and fears of being dragged from bed to prison. Mu amount all went to creditors, and had he had " two pond legs - under him, he would not have accepted it, it having beeu intimated to him that when he was well 'cough to present himself at the War-office the matter wonld be reconsidered. It is ridded that the *Meet of " reward for my services" wu still an open emit-ion with the government, and the writer hoped they would " soon come to judge it with a higher sense of jus tice and reason." In the last letter 111 r. Snider, se nerving to a statement that "in all countries where patents :.re conferred the governments have the legal Power to use such inventions free of cost," remarks that the L'idted States government reserves to itself no such tight Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to grant a pension of 75/. per annum to Mrs. Coulton, widow of the late David Trevena Coniton, who edited the rm.'s newspaper during one of its most brilliant periods.

THE RECENT ROBBERIES ON THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY. FURTHER PROCEEDINGS.-(THIS DAY.) This morning at the Stratford Police-court. Caroline Buckle, a very respectably-dreamed middle-aged woman, wife of Henry Buckle, who stands committed for trial on two charges of being concerned intl.* robbery of property Irons trains on the Great Eastern Railway, was brought up in custody of Inspector Standage, of the K divi sion, charged withtfelonionsly receiving goods known to have been stolen from trains on the above named line. It may be remendscred that the husband of the prisoner kept a clothier's and drapery shop in Stratford New-town, near to the company's works, and in consequence of recent numerous robberies on the line, and information which came to the knowledge of Superintendent Russell, the company's superintendent of police, that officer, with Inspector Standage, visited Buckle's shop, and seized a very large amount of property which is supposed to have been abstracted from the goods trains. The goods consisted of rolls of linsey, cantlet, velvet, cloth, a large number of boots awl shoes, and other articles. Amongst the property found were some rolls of linsey and cloth which were stated to have formed part of a bale which had been sent by Messrs. Kerr, of Cannon• street, to Mr. Stevens, of Wisbech. There were also a number of boots And shoes which had been forwarded by Mr. Winter, of Norwich, to Mr. Starling, of Sawbridge , worth, and of course never delivered. Yesterday Mr. Russell, the company's superintendent, and Mr. Inspector Standage, apprehended the prisoner, Mrs. Buckle on suspicion of being concerned in the rob beries. It appeared that at the former search of the prisoner's house three ostrich feathers were found by the officers, and in answer to inquiries she stated that they had been given to her, but by whom she declined to say. It was stated that these feathers were sent by Messrs. Parsons, of S. Paul's Churchyard, to a person in Swaffham, and that the box in which they were packed was broken open. On the second visit of the officers they found an instrument called a syphon enema in the pri soner's place, and it was proved that this article was one of those which had been forwarded by Mr. Bailey, of 4154, Oxford-street, to a Mr. Hunger, of Swaffham, the box having been burst open in the course of transit. Mr. Russell, the company's superintendent, said he had to ask that the prisoner might be remanded and brought up for re-examination with her husband, against whom there were several charges of receiving stolen property. The prisoner denied saying that the property in ques tion belonged to her, or that she refused saving the name of the person who gave them to her. The magistrate (Mr. King) accordingly remanded her for a week. It was stated that the police had seized another large amount of property at the prisoner's shop. tiona have been limited, and the closing price is 77 to 4, half a dollar under last week ; but for Erica there has been renewed inquiry, and they have advanced to 511 tog .

THE ManougnaNs or INDIA. --There are luke warm and indifferent Mehomedans, there are sceptics and unbelievers among those who ::re numbered with MA bomedans, just as there are the same classes of charac ters among . those who " profess and call themselves Christians.' Millions prefer their ease, their safety, and their immediate worldly interests to their religion, even with Mahomedan ascendancy superadded and we rejoice in the knowledge that while the faith of Islam, as inter preted by bigote, is held to enjoin the extermination of infidels, there were not a few among the Malioniedens of I India whose conduct during the mutiny was governed I rather by their natural sense of right, or by a feeling of Gratitude and affection towarl. individual Chri, than by the Koran, or by intensifies' glosses put u g a lsps dogmas by fanatics. For the Koran does not enjoin the destruction of " men of the book," as Christians are. At any rate, whatever the motives, this much is certain, that from the outbreak to the suppression of the mutiny, and from one end of India to the other, thousands upon thou sands of Mahomedans, high and low, rich and poor, • princes and servants, soldiers and thrillers, not only re. trained from lifting a finger wind the British govern meat, or any Christian individual, but rendered active and most useful service—at the hazard often of their lives : and fortunes—to both it and them. —Edinburgh Berens, • I new number.
