The annual general meeting of the members of 17nitremity College, London, was held in the college yes terday afternoon ; Lord Burn, vice resident, in the chair. The report trem the souse% wllsh was • very l doom mat, seated that the number of pupils sod erient daring the session of 1866-67 amounted to 1,042, being en increase of 147 over the number during the pre vious session. Of these 591 wore students in the oxbow and 461 were pupils In the school. Of the students, 249 belonged to the faculty of 'medicine, 102 being new students ; and 340, of whom T. 33 were new students, to the faculty of arts and law. The highest number of boys in the school during any one term was 367. The gross amount of fees received during the year was 14,9961., being 1,0471. more ;than in 186346, and the sum paid to professors, teachers, and masters was 10,8241. 17s. 2d. 1,688/. 81. was received for clinical instruction at the hospital, and bad es usual been surrendered by the medical Akers for the benefit of the charity. The amount showed an apparent excess of expenditure for the year of 461,,i his. 6d., but 165/. had been paid for six months' pat6sbial taxes, which became due in 1865-66, and there was really, therefore, a surplus of receipts of about 1101. For the current session the entries up to the present date were, in the faculty of medicine, 204, of whom 57 were new students ; in the faculty of arta and laws, 305, including 94 to the evening elem., of whom 188 were new students ; and in the wheel 370, of whom 50 wens new pupils. As compared with the entries up to the same period of last per there was an increase of 5 in the medical faculty, 10inarts and laws, and nine in thesehool. The new students in medicine were less by seven than last year, but there had been a marked decrease in the new entries in all the London schools. In the (amity of Arts there had been • decline of 80 in the new entries. Upon the motion of Mr. J. Heywood, seconded by Mr. Mo °Atli, the report was received, and ordered to be circu lated. Lord Brougham was re-elected president, Lord Belper vice-president, and Mr. G. Grote treanurer. The following gentlemen were elected members of the council: —Messrs. H. M. Bompas, W. Fowler, J. C. Gooden, C. Z. Macaulay, H. Matthews, and J. Tyndall ; and Mr. A. Tyler was chosen auditor. Mr. Coons-Hardy proposed en amendment in the bye-laws regulating the appoint ment of fellows of the college, the elfeot of which was to require the council every alternate year to oousider the propriety of electing new follows ; to limit the number to be appointed in one year to six, three of whom should be graduates in medicine and science, end three graduates in arta and law, all having poised with honours at the Mol l examination for • degree in the University of London, and to provide that no graduate should be elected a fellow more then ten years after he had taken his bachelor's degree. Professor WILLIAMSON objected to the requirement that fellows should have taken a degree in honours in the Lon don University ; and Mr. R. H. Hurroe to the ten years' limit. After a short conversation, in which these views found a good deal of favour, the proposed bye-laws, and an amendment moved by Professor Williamson, were both withdrawn, upon the understanding that the council would reconsider the question with reference to the desirabilitp of improving the proprietary of the college. The proceed. inp closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman and the council. REVISION OP THE PRAYER•BOOK. —At the recent conference held at the offices of the Society for the Revi sion of the Prayer-book, Feb. 19, the president, Lord Ebury, is the chair, the following resolutions were adopted :—Moved by the Hon. and Rev. E. V. Bligh, M.A., vicar of Billing, Kent; seconded by Mr. F. J. Hamel, That the evils from which the church of England is at present suffering cannot be effec tually removed without a revision of the Book of Common Prayer; and that no legitimate opportunity shoeld be omitted of calling attention to the prieciples and objects of this association." Moved by the Rey. Carr J. Glyn, M.A., rector of Witchampton, Dorset ; seconded by the Rev. H. • Carrow, M.A., 4, St. Leonard's-terrace, Maidahill: —" That a consultation be had with members of the Hoare of Com mons friendly to the principles of this association, with the siewof obtainingtheiropinion astothepromiety of attempt ing a discussion in the houseupontherevision of the Liturgy, se to the best method of dealing with the evils arising from the present attempt to carry this country to the church of Rome. Moved by the Rev. Samuel Minton, M.A., Minister of Eaton Chapel, Pimlico, S.W. ; seconded by Mr. Alex ander Beattie, Seuunerhill, Chislehurst, :—" That, considering the strong desire which to large a number of the faithful members of our church are manifesting for trying the state of the law with regard to the Rubrics referring to vestments and other matters connected with public worship before having recourse to measures in any other direction, and influenced by the paramount import ance ad union among all who value the principles of the reformation, in face of the perils with which the church of England is now threatened, this conference deems it a duty to give a friendly support to the operations of the Chute Association. ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY. —The director's. of this ooinpany, as well an the overwhelming majority of shareholders who supported the resolutions submitted to the meeting on Tuesday have, in consequence of the tuft expected results of the pall se ansesseed yesterday, twee with a disappointmeat which, for the present, has com pletely baffled their efforts. Mr. Burt (solicitor), who was said to have acted in the intermits of the opposition party, was appointed one of the sort towers on Tuesday, and, in the wares of his labours, he ascertained that proxies favourable to the directore's scheme, and representingepwerds of 10,000 votes had been sent in between the first messing and the adjourned one, and that they were, therefore, technically and legally inoperative. The striking off of so 'ergs a number of votes does not leave three-fourths of the share holders in favour of the motion, and so far the board are checkmated. It appears that for the resolution there was 31,051 votes, of which 27 2 29 were prordm, and 3,822 re corded by shareholders who attended the meeting, where as the votes against it only amounted to 8498, of which 186 were proxies. The votes which were struck off repre sented 223,4201. of stock, end the remaining 20,298 votes represented 426,8151. of stock. The stock attached to the votes recorded by the opposition arnonntstol7o,o7sl.,wisieh is a trifle more t h an a fourth of the whole. The chairman ' after announcing the result of the poll, expressed the de ' termination of tbe direction to get possession of their own proerty. Mr. But, referring to some remarks of the I chairman, denied that he had acted in the interest of the Anglo-American and Telegraph Construction Companies. ) The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the ' cheirmen, who, in acknowledging the compliment, stated ) that the directors would 'barfly - call a meeting of the pro prietors to determine the future action of the company, DISPIRATH RHOOUNTIM WITH BURGLARS.

The sixth ardinesy general meeting et this arra paw was held yesterday at the 9liy Teemineis Motel, Om mesi-eirent. Mr. W. Hamm (the chairman), hawing the adoption of the report (oforMeh the salient mints have Men =, said it was very natural that the feel some disappointment berme mine magmas bed not been made in the works. Bat the dieeppoint. meat was net without alloy, Menus they mould new leek forward with great eonlidesee S. the construction of the line on better terms than might have been the ease had the construction peweeeded at railway speed as was originally cootemplated. The difficulties tinder which the Great Eastern Company laboured had not decreased during the past six month', and negotiation with them was impossible. The Hest London Company might now see that they had a natural ally of even greater importance in the North London line, which mold give them a through connection with the London and North Western. Ement events had been eminently favourable to the development of all metropolitan railway traffic, and the constant omnibus traffic to and from north to south, with the long through traffic, could not fail to pro duce a very remunerative income, if the company were kept intact. • The board had been obliged to prepare a bill for this swim to procure an extenuou of time for the exercise of compulsory, powers in taking land, and, if necessary, to modify existing arrangements with the Grist Eastern Company. It was gratifying to be able to state that all the expenditure of the company had been paid in oath, and he hoped they would always routine to do so. In September authority was given to issue shares at a discount to supply the forfeited scrip. An assurance) was then given that no shares would ho issued at a lower price than was proposed by the directors without further einsulling the shareholders. Up to this time 13,225 shares had been taken, leaving 10,862 to be issued, with 41. per share, or little more than 40,0001., to be paid upon them before they could be mistimed. He sincerely hoped these shares would be taken by proprietors, and not allowed to go out of the company. It was necessary to the speedy completion of the line that these shares should be at ones subscribed for. During all the recent disasters lin the railway world it was gratifying to know that their prospects ware not only untouched, but increasing fa , brightness every day. The works on the south side of the Thames were in a forward state, and the line had been brought within 150 yards of the junction with the main line of the London and Brighton, near New-oross, and from that point northward s there was now unintarrupsed communication as far as Berkeley-threet,l RotberMte. The chairman, in conclusion, again urgeek the shareholders to subscribe for the new shares, but on the understanding that the whole number was to be takes. Mr. W. Bane seconded the adoption of the report, and said he was so satisfied with the position and pros pects of the company that he should not hesitate to invest in purchasing some of the new shares. Mr. Muroran expresied some dissatisfaction with the progress of the works, and wished they had been pushed through to the other end of the Thames Tunnel. He had never seen work less slowly done, and was et opinion that if more energy had been shown the line would have been opened long ago. He was prepared to move the appoint went of a committee to examine the works, and confer with the directors to see whether greeter efforts mold not be made to complete the line on the south side of the Tom neL (Hear, hear.) Mr. liairramon was also • dissatisfied shareholder, and having his doubts as to the prospect of the railway and the completion of the works, should not subscribe any more capital until he knew where it was going to. He wanted more information, and had bad no reply to same questions he bad written to the office. Information might be got by applying to Chancery. (" Oh, oh," and hisses.) The longer they went on as they were going, the worse would things Monne, until the company was as bad as the London, Chatham, and Dover. (Oh, oh.) - - - • Mr. BILST spoke in • more hopeful tone of the line, and regretted the remarks of the two previous speakers ; at the game time he thought the shareholders would have more madden's' in the undertaking if a day were ap pointed upon which they might go sad visit the works. Questions were asked by Mr. Gallant, Mr. Engiand, and Mr. Galsworthy, the letter of whom reproved Mr. Hart ridge for speaking unfairly, and thereby misleading the shareholders. The CHAIRMAN, in reply, said the re-opening of ques tions settled y7eeasrsn ago was most Injurious and unfair. As to the espenditura, there had been in absolute outlay— excluding the heavy preliminary expenses, for which the circumstances of tire times and not the directors were re sponsible—nothing that had been done which would not bear strict investigation. They had pined 410,001. In land, and there wee no metropolitan company that had effected land purchases at less prise. There were now from 700 to 800 yards of covered way complete, sad there wee only 200 yards to Ithish the ocessetion with the Tun nel sad therefore with the Wapping ride of the river, and then but 40,0001. was wanted to get to the London Docks. He denied refiring any shareholder in formation ;.said the low figure at which the shares stood on the sure list was a matter over which the directors hod no sentsei UMW .nay ahmeheider is t p the works whenever he pleased; end esplained why had been a temporary stoppage in some portion of works. If the new shares were all taken up, and the directors were rumbled to lye their borrowing powers,the line would be opined to Wapping in the summer.

The learned counsel for the promotion, fa arming Er me its the jam explained to them that the Aerie effilifd Ide rimers me not one of theme teekaisally demilied as Velma felony, bug they were simply acme& of having ad ministered an illegal oath with the MUM is wry out as illegal object. He then monde& at some length to narrate the circumstances under whisk ebe charge was made against the prisoners, and which will be found fully Mated in the evidence of the withers, who were ex amined. He said that the me would principally depend, undoubtedly, upon the evidence of • man named Boutall, upon whom, no doubt, • good many observations would be made, but it appeared to him that the evidence given ley this witness would be materially corroborated by other testimony. Mooed* to the evidence of this witness &a l oath of • treasonable character was administered by the *Amen to • man named Daniel O'Leary, and the matter haying come to the knowledge of the police, the prisoners were taken into custody. An inveetigation took place before a magistrate, and be felt it his duty to commit the pH- I goners for trial. The grand jury bad returned* true bill, and is now devolved upon him to lay the evidence befor the jury, who would have to decide whether the charge against the prisoners had born substantiated. In conclasion, he said that although possibly the jury might be of opinion that no treasonable intentions were really entertained by the prisoner's, still ha felt assured that they would agree with him that it was • most mischievous said dangerous proceeding for • number of ignorant men to band themselves together by oaths for any purpose. The evidence for the prosecution was then proceeded with, and at the request of the counsel for the prisoners all the witnesses were ordered out of court, and examined separately. A long statement that was made by the prisoner Rich ardson when under examination before the magistrate was then put in and read. It was to the effect that they were all innocent of the charge, and that Boutall had repre sented himself to be • Fenian, and that their object in having any intercourse with him was to find out what he really meant and hand him over to justice. Mr. Poland said this was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Willis said that he should have to make two speeches, and he proposed, as he had some witnesses to call for the defence, to examine them first, and then address the jury. The following evidence was then adduced for the defence : Dennis M'Cartbysaidthatlie was brother of the prisoner M'Carthy, and was by trade a shipwright. He had never seen the prisoners Lyttleton or Richardson before the 19th lof January in the present year at the King William pub lic-house. The witness Boatel' was present. He was in ono of the compartments in company with .• group of men, end he was praising America. Some man who was present, and who be afterwards heard -was O'Leary, asked him for • prayer-book, and he lent him one. Boo tall after this put some questions to him about America, and then invited him to have some gin, and they all went into • prints room. The persons who went into the room were the prisoners Boatel' and O'Leary, and Boutall took off his cost and laid it on the table, and said that he bad cut it himself. He then said. " May this arm be paralysed if I am • detective ; I am with you, boys ; I will take an oath or do anything." Every one then left the room but witness, Boutall, sad O'Leary, and the latter produced the book witness had tent, and he asked Boutin bis name, and added. "I, James Benton, do solemnly vow." Witness then suspected that something was wrong, and left the MOM, and Boutall and O'Leary followed. He did not hear Lyttleton propose any oath to O'Leary. Crosinexamined—To the best of hie knowledge the door was not looked at any time, but it might have been. So far as he knew, however, the door was not locked at any time. He saw • book in Lyttleton's hand while he was is the room, whisk appeared to be a note Gook, cad Lyt• Mateo wrote something in it, when Boutall said that he was sot • detective. When O'Leary borrowed the book of him, he said that any sort of book would do, sad he did not tell him what he wanted the book for. Witness thought there was something wrong when he heard the words " 'salami/ vow," and that something illegal was going Ge By tit; learned Judge—He was aware that Boutall was taken into custody by his brother, bet he had not the slightest ides what he was charged with. Witness had been in America, and the prayer-book he had with him was presented to him in Anemias. He had been to chapel that mains, and that was how be happened to have the book with Wm. The man O'Leary was an entire stronger to Man, andbe did not know *bet bad become of him. Mr. Joseph Willson deposed that he bad known the wit ness Boutin many years. Mr. Shea asked what was his character ! Baron Bramwell said he had never heard • question like this put before. It was clearly not • proper question to be pin. Mr. Shes then asked the witness whether, from what he knew of him, he would believe Boutall on has oath. and he replied that he would not. In 'Rawer to questions put by the learned judge, the witness said that he formed this opinion from the general knowledge he had of the witness during a period of twenty yealll. Another witness who, like the fernier, resided at St. Node, gave similar evidence. He admitted, however, that the witness owed him 21. 19s. when he went away to America, and that he was very angry with him in cense cluence. Upon being pressed as to his grounds for stating that he would riot believe Beaten on hie oath, be said that one reason was that he was always looked upon as one of the most notorious liars in St. Needs. (A laugh.) Mr. Willis then proceeded to address the jury . on behalf of the prisoners. He said that although owing to the change that had been made in the law the offence imputed to them was no longer capital, still it was one of • most serious character, and the interests of the prison ffs were deeply involved in the present inquiry. In this country they had for so long a period entered the blessings of social order, that the mere mention of sedition was calculated to create the strongest prejudice, and he, therefore, entreated them not to allow themselves to be led away hymnal sfeel iog from the real facts of the cm, and hastily oome to the conclusion that the prisoners were guilty of the offence imputed to them. He then proceeded to refer to the svMaise that had been adduced for the prosecution, and reminded the jury that the case rested almost entirely upon the evidence of one witsees, the man Boutall, and that, even scrawling to his own showing, the story was • most improbable one, and one that could not be believed for a moment. He re minded the jury that Boutall, the informer, admitted that he had 11000 i 041 i the prisoners in the first intone, and be argued that all the facts of the ease tended to show that he was acting under the instructions of his mein, ' the detective, and that he had endeavoured to establish same sort of minis against the prisoners. It appeared to him that all the evidence that bad been adduced tended will , to show that Boutall was really a Fenian, and that the pawners were endeavouring to bring him to justice in the proceedings they adopted, as that they were guilty of the asses now imputed to them. He then remarked egos the absurdity of supposing, if the prisoners really were connected with any treasonable . proceedings, that after they had e ff ected their object and Induced Booing to take the oath, they should at onee have Maud round upon him and given him into custody. The leased counsel than referred to the fact that it was proved that Banal' was the person who obtained the key of the roam where the oath was represented to have been administered. and he appeared to ha the principal mover throughout the • el - the proceedings and he argued that no other Joelooneea mad reasonalily be arrived at than that he had trumped up the charge a gai nst the prisoners in sonjuseMen with his relative, the detective, for his own embaded • most abh address thy earnestly reepliso p a ss men of ad te as Male likmatikahtard. wssldsg wider eaadderation, upon .* ** almost euesupPie s bed Islievey of an informer.

Frogptto sdidher, Argylosilreet, roodueted the numeration ; and Mr. Clasp Lewis. jun., appeared for the defence. It will be recollected that the pteseenUiz, Mrs. Char lotte Curry Feed. residing at Adelafdeeottsgas, Pease, 'striated the defendant with the conduct at her busbies ea the faith of his repaesctati.s that he was an atecorner. It subsequently turned out that he had i si m ii t i gped hie examination, although his articles had been with the 'numerated Law Society, and it was that he had misappropriated large sums which bad been given him to pay certain acoounts, besides inducing the peweeutrix to execute in his favour c mortgage deed for 33 31. u • lien upon her property in ease she might die indebted to him. ItkUrd Harris, a clerk in the employment of Kean. Valiance and Penance, solicitors to the Louden and South Western Bank, produced the mortgage deed referred to, and said it had been lodged at the bank as security for monies advanced to the defendant. . . . Sir Robert Carden committed him for trial, and the do fendant,who stated that be was perfectly innocent of the charge, reemved his defence. Joan Penal:coed, 58, John Toe, 61, and James /easel/, were committed for trial on the charge of conspiracy, and ' obtaining from the India-rubber and Cutts Percha Tele graph Work' Company 901. worth of goods by false pre tenoes. It will be reeollected that the prisoners profaned to carry on Wainer in the west-en das painters and deco rators, and ordered goods to he sent to them at an address in Hyde-park-place, the good. so supplied being imtnediasely pledged for about half their value. Evidence was given by Mn. Barber, of 13a, Dorset street, Glourester- square , who stated that the prisoner Fennell came to her at Christmas, 1865, and rented • room on the ground-floor. which he converted into two offices, bet he never paid the tradesman's bill. Be pro fessed to carry en business as " • general merchant, wine merchant, and importer and exporter of foreign produce," but all the foreign produce which she saw was • lot of oranges. (Laughter.) She gave him notice to quit la 1866, but did not get him ejected till July, 1867. He then owed her about 20/. for rent, and it cost lier 31.105. to get him out. She employed a broker, but there was no thing in the office to levy upon. (Laughter.) The prisoners reserved their defence. Michael Conan a care-worn looking man, of respectable ep was charged with attemptingtto commit suicide. tI appea/ed that he bad laid himself down on • line of rails at Cannon-street station quite close to the wheels of an engine which was shortly to start with an express train. His perilous position was observed by an inspector, who gave him into custody, and on being searched there were found on him a phial containing poison, and three letters, one addressed to Mr. Payne, the coroner, • second to his brother, and • third to Mr. Walter, pro- prietor of the Times newspaper. Sir Robert Carden opened the letter addressed to Mr. Payne. It was written by the prisoner, stated that he had been • printer in the Times newspaper office for 15 years, bui having worked part of the time in a damp room, he had contracted disease of the heart, and ultimately had to leave work, receiving an allowance from the Times sick fund for 17 months. He had been at ono time re commended to go to Australia, and with his savings bad bought • passage and a small annuity for his mother, but as his legs became weak be was unable Le proceed, avAl latterly the only income of himself and his mother was 55., the proceeds of the annuity he had bought her. The mother appeared in court, and said she believed her son's mind was affected. Sir Robert Carden remanded him for • few days, and told the mother, who earnestly desired that he might be given up to her , that be would be placed in the bands of • doctor, arid be well taken core of. TRW DISTRESS IN THE EAST OF LONDON. The adjourned meeting of the united executive committee for relieving the spacial distress in the east of London was bald at the Mansion-hour yesterday, the LORD MAYOR presiding. It will ho recollected that the committee adjourned from Monday, in order that inquiries might be made as to the alleged strike of thirty carpenters in the employment of Mears. Nagler and Wood, at Miliwall. Mr. Scaurror, the secretary of the East Central Relief Cornmittse, now attended to afford explanations, and stated that he bad bid an Interview with %see of the men, and their saaessacins was that they went to work about three weeks ago, upon the agreement that they would receive Is. 61. per day, and some of them on three, and others on two Saturdays worked up to four o'clock. Oa the Saturday before last the work was sufficiently ad vanced for some brialayers to be employed, and they came from a London arm on certain terms—namely, that they should haveBd. an hour, and knockoff at one:on Saturdays. Upon thia the carpenters did note.° why they should have to work up to 4 o'clock, and they socordingly represented the matter to Mews. Pantile: and Wood, who agreed to let them have Is. extra for working till 4, but the man ex pressed a . preference for leaving o ff work at I, and told Mr. PonUfex so, and he left the matter in the hands of his foreman, who told them they could do as they liked. On Saturday last they left at one o'clock sad returned as usual on Monday morning, but to their surprise they were told that their samosa would not be further re quired, and that they might take their back pay and leave. The Rev. Mr. ROWSRLL remarked that their statement was that there was no strike at all. Mr. SAMODA said the explanation produced upon his mind the impression that it was a distinct strike, and a very objectionable strike. Mr. Scaurror said the men stated that there was no strike at all , and that they believed they bad simply for f eited the shilling. Mr. awtime. observed that there was a distinct and absolute dribs by these men, and such a strike as be or any other employer of labour would have resisted. These men had been at work for three weeks at sa. 6d. a day, but it appeared that their regulations required them to leave on before 4 o'clock. Mr. ficaurrox said they were not trade union men. Mr. SAMODA remarked that notwithstanding this they combined and took an objection to the employment they were reeeiving, with the object of extorting terms from their master. They diamond the matter and said to their enastere, " We will hare la. for the extra work on Satur day," sad it was remarkable that this was done only after the wriest of the bricklayers. He considered that these men bad entirely failed to remove the bad imprandon from his mind that this strike was totally uncalled for. Mr. Scaurroit said they were led into the matter by one man, who came from Bromley, and it came to be a question of voting. A portion of the man who would rather have worked till 4 aid received the extra shilling were led to join with their comrade', not having the strength of mind to resist • Mr. SAXODA—If you put the matter on another footing that is a totally different thing. The Bev. Joinr KINNLDT—I would like to ask a ques tion. Did the men demand Bd. an hour 1 Mr. Scausroe—The Bd. was discussed, bat I do not think it ever came pr om inently forward. They do not appear to have demanded it. The Rev. Mr. HANSARD said Mr. Pontifex promised them la., and then somebody else broke that agreement Mr. Samara—They broke it themselves, by going off work before 4 o'clock. In reply to Mr. Crimes, Mr. BORWITOT and the engagement with the men was that they were to receive ss. td. per day, and to work till four on Saturday. At this siege a number of the men lately in the employ ment of Mews. Poetess and Wood attended before the committee, and Mr. B. Applegsrth, cemetery of the Amal gamated Sonny of Oaremeten and Joiners, read • E bytate ment of 'Jaen" in their behalf, which was signed l4 or 16 of the mem. It was in subsumes the same as reported above. ' Questioes were then put to the men by Menet mew bus of the committee, and their replies were to the effete that they agreed W work at ss. 6d. per day on the under standing Lit it wend be a general thing ler and all ; that they Aid oak for Bd. an hour; th tde a k e l = wandered le was optional to leave work at one or receive the shilling ; end that this was not • ems a resir • re duction of wages by a trade union ; so far from that beteg the owe, they should be glad to work for Is. 6d. a obre even up 1411 four en Saturday.
