Cooke prim cirmlia, True lu the C re , which WM first produaril at the Surrey Theatre Lid September, has been transplanted to the Princess's, and was represented for the Scat time on Saturday night. This drama and its accessories gave great 'adduction to Burry amiiences, before whom it was performed for acrcral months, and even greater satisfaction to the master and wardens of the Royal Dramatic College, for whose charity it made the noble mum of 600/. In these days of exceptional theatrical profits, when authors like Hr. boaricautt get between 2,000 i. and 3,4..0tit. starling fur the right of acting a drama like Figimbgred in the English provinces fur only one year, it sounds like a satire to call the paltry 100 f. which Mr. Sloes obtained for his work a " prize ;" bat Mr. T. P. Cooke was an ohhfashionerl man at the time of his death, and not an author but an actor. The drama ahowsto advantage in a compact theatre with • tolerably well•behaved audience, and Mr. Cteawick has only onefaultas the hero—the detestable style of elocution affected by all tregediane. The Jesuit spy is still played by Mr. Henry Marston, and Wallets, the pedlar, another 'mystery, is peraonated by Mr. Henry Yorrester. The drama wan very enthusiastically tecehed, and there is a good prospect of its having another lengthened run. RTRAND. A " comedy-farce," in two acts, called Our portestira, which may be described as a new version of Iliyh Life Belem Stairs, was produced at this theatre on 64turday night with well-deserved PUCCONS. The author is Mr. F. Hay, who has vastly improved as a dramatic author since be produced a little farce called The Rene* Txti'dtion at this house. His dialogues full of humour and happy turns of expression, and his characters are grotesque, without being violent or unnatural. Oar Domestics, of course, has very little plot, the fun being maintained by showing how • number of male and female servants impose upon and laugh at • master and mistress, who are not particularly strong minded, and who are troubled with a romantic daughter. No illegitimate means are used to excite a laugh, no horse play or destruction of property, and yet the audience are thoroughly amused from first to last. The piece was excellently acted, Miss B. Johnstone and Mr. 1.). James entering thoroughly into the characters of an impudent cook and a more impudent valet, who are not without a certain fear of their master. Mr. l'arselle played the master or victim, and the rest of the parts were well sup ported by Mr. Thorne, Miss Harland, Mr*. Mandell, and others. THE REFORM' LEAGUE. The following letter was rend at the executive meeting of the Reform League at their weekly meeting on Friday evening last : Mortimer, Reading, June 11, 184;7. To the Secretary of the Reform League. —Sir. In reply to your circular 1 send a contribution to the funds of the League. It is impossible to doubt that the popular move ment so effectively, and at the lame time so legally and peacefully conducted by the two combined associations has been the main instrument in turning the present holders of power from the opponents of the limited Reform Billet last session into the advocates of household suffrage and something more. I say of ponwthing more, because the lodger franchise plainly interdict. and must in the end break up the restnctive principle of the present bill. The plagiarist of reform may call its real authors "obsolete incendiaries and 'pouters of stale sedition ;" but this is only the expression, in language habitual to the servant of an oligarchy in speaking of the people and their leaden, of the speaker's consciousness that the measure which bears lii. zu , tne is not his own. Agitation ought of course to cease as soon as its object is secured. But organisation will still be necenary to complete the victory and reap its fruits, to defeat whatever of stratagem and subterfuge may still lurk in a bill originally compounded of those element., to pet the new voters on the register, to stimulate them to the exercise of their right, and to scud up, with their aid, • renovated, purified, and more national Howse of Commons. The head of the Tory government seem■, from his last speech, to have borrowed from the genial imagination of Ibis friend and guide the p►triotic idea of perpetuating class government on a new basis, by decoying the working mien, who a few months ago were being reviled &might the vociferous cheers of the Tory party, into an alliance with theToryoligarchyagainst the Middle and Commercial class. But I trust that, however zealously Lord Derby may act Ids new part, it will be found that he has once more mis understood the people, and that the government of which be is destined to be the involuntary founder will not be the government of any class or of any sinister confedera tion of classes, but a government of and for the whole satiou.—l am, air, your obedient servant, _ _ GOLDWIN Sinre. BISHOP Ham's 0111AVR. —The Rev. T. Foulkes, elaplain of Vepery, Madras, when chaplain of Trichino poly, found that the pave of Bishop Heber was marked only by four trowel lines in the chunain of the chancel Moor, without an inscription, anii with.int even • slab to never it. A inane was erected to the bishop's memory in the cathedral of Calcutta, and • similar one in M►dras Cathedral ; and • plain marble slab was placed on the wall of the chancel of the Trichinopoly Church, stating that he died at that station, but not where he was buried. Mr. Forikes wishedte raise Ga. for a memorial brass to lie placed over the grave, and he has received half the sten. It is a sadly interesting circumstance that Bishop Cotton sent a donation towards it from the yacht in which be wits sailing a few days before be met with his own me lancholy end—one similar to that of Bishop Heber.— Ilom,ward Moil, June 15. Mr. Martin, the telegraph superintendent of the Und..n and North Western Railway, in conjunction with Kr. Varlet', Las invented a very useful instrument which, when fixed in a signalman's box, will show the elate of gh.. semaphore arms or lighta on a distance signal. It eonaiats of a dial furnished with oscillating indices so that the doalman can, at a glance, see if the signal be has int,tied should be put on, is really on or not. As an sd ditional safeguard in the working of traffic it is invaluable, APPOTting THE HAMPSHIRE WEEK. CRICKS?. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 17, 1867.

SHOCKLAC MURDER OF A WO.VAN IN KENT. THE it•NIPIoN .1 Nl' I:ElriftriN PAILWAK— Ith:No/.7 vie THE Co.II.IIiTTEE flt . 11.411 UN. T .e report of the Comumittee of li.vestigation of the Brighton Railway Company was issued some hours after the close of business on Saturday evening, and, as was expected, furnishes another melancholy chapter in the history of railway mismanagement. The committee do not impute to the boatel any acts of criminality, but they charge them with de liberate and prolonged deceit of the moat flagrant character, and state broadly that the members of the late board ought to be held individually and pecuniarily responsible fur large sums of money which have been improperly applied. The com mittee start with a history of the company during the last 17 years, and, contrasting the period of Ave years of Mr. Laing's chaiiimuiship, from 1849 to 1854, with the results arrived at during the sub sequent 12 years, draw conclusions strongly ap proving of the former, and condemning the later policy. They say that had the policy of the last ten years not been arrested by the force of einem stamms, and by the action of the committee, the Itotal increase of capital since 1854 would have been 11,165,0001., of which upwards of 10,300,000/. would have consisted of additional preference stock and debentures, and a gross tragic of 1,300,0001. a year would have been required to pay preference charges alone. As a result of 8,000,0001. added to the capital outlay, and 3,000,000/ to the company's liabilities, they say that there has been a " mere insignifiant increase in the bona fide net income," so that " nothing but a timely reversal of the old policy could have saved the shareholders from utter ruin." Of this outlay of capital 435,2141. has been paid to the proprietors in the form of interest on outlay on works in progress, " thus relieving revenue and increasing dividends." Glancing next at the e x penditure on improved terminal accommoda tion in the metropolis, amounting during the last ten years to 2,300,000/. by the Brighton Company, 4,000,0001. by the South Eastern, and several millions by the London, Chatham, and Dover, the committee remark that, had the whole of the rail ways of the South Eastern district been united in one system, " the public might have been equally well accommodated for less than half the cost." Next they refer to the Brighton Company's country branches, which they set down as almost "an entire loss, as there are few of them which even pay their working expenses." Between the country branches opened and those to be abandoned, " the company must be considered to have incurredadead loss of upwards of 3,000,000/." The next matter is a review of the Surrey and Sussex, Chichester and Midhurst, and West Sussex Junction Rail ways. Hereupon the committee recite the evidence upon which they arrived at their previously declared conclusion that these schemes, represented by the old board as put forward by "independent" parties, were really framed by persons connected with the Brighton Company, with a view to saddling that company with them. They charge the board with deliberate deceit from the very outset, and refer to the extra ordinarycourse taken by the directors, who, panic stricken at the turn affairs have taken, have trans ferred their shares in these concerns to nominees, and have caused deeds of indemnity to themselves to be drawn up and sealed with the company's seal, contending that they acted in the whole matter merely as agents on behalf of the Brighton C puny. These deeds the company's solicitor has stated are utterly worthless. The capital and borrowing powers of these three companies " for which the directors had secretly undertaken to be come liable," is 1,359,6001. ; the amount which they led the shareholders to believe would be the limit of their contribution was 595,0001., and the amount actually expended is 332,0451. The committee declare that the Brighton Company are neither legally nor morally bound to take over these three lines, and they express their opinion that, " by the misrepresentation and concealment which has been practised, there are solid legal grounds for holding that the directors who have obtained by false repre sentations and suppression of the truth these large sums of money " are " bound to repay those sums to the Brighton Company," but whether it will be better to appeal to litigation or adopt some com promise is left a moot point. The next matter reviewed is the transaction with Mr. J. T. Mac kenzie, and the breach of faith committed towards that gentleman. An agreement has been come to between the parties, and the committee hint an opinion that the directors are liable to indemnify the company for any loss that may be incurred through this " illegal and irregular transaction." The capital and revenue accounts are next probed. Of the 214,612/. paid as dividend at 4 per cent. on the ordinary stock for 1866, the committee state that " by far the greater part, if not the whole of that sum was improperly distri buted," and they specifically enumerate sums amounting to 116,652/. which ought to have been otherwise appropriated out of revenue " before declaring any dividend." In addition to the law charges stated in the revenue accounts, the law and parliamentary costs charged to capital in the last Ave years or now outstanding represent no less ' than 237,905/. Other charges to capital account are challenged, including 175,178/. so charged in 1866 alone as interest upon expen diture on works in progress. The loan account of the company with their bankers has been systematically dealt with in a manner de signed to deceive, and the committee wind up this ' portion of their remarks with the general declara tion that "it will be clear to the shareholders, from what has already been stated, that for many years past the directors have systematically sanc tioned the manipulation and cooking of the ac counts, for the purposeof making things pleasant,' and to fulfil what the directors must have felt to be a necessity of their position, the payment of a di vidend under any circumstances, whether it bad been honestly earned or not." Reviewing next the present position of the company, the committee state that 2,000,0001. of further capital is required to liquidate the whole of the company's liabilities, I assuming the Surrey and Sumex and other sus pended lines to be abandoned. Of this, one-half requires urgently to be met, and must be provided at once. Fortunately no difficulty is experienced as regards the renewal of mortgage debentures. Availing themselves of the company's unex hausted powers, the committee think 400,0001. may be raised by debentures and by sale of surplus land, and 1,600,0001. by an issue of preference stock. Looking forward, the corn ' mittee think the revenue ought to suffice to meet all preference charges, and in two years they anti cipate a balance equal to 2f per cent. dividend on the ordinary stock. The mode of raising the capital required, however, has yet to be determined upon. As likely further to help towards bringing the com pany's stock backto its original value, an agreement with the South Eastern Company, the full terms of which are given, is recommended. The com mittee conclude by recommending that a new board, consisting of Sir Chas. Jackson, and Messrs. S. Laing, M.P., Chas. Stewart, C. B. Cardew, Ralph L Lopes, and Jonas Levy be at e once appointed, and that Mr. Goer., whose great services are recognised, be asked to accept the post of auditor. On Saturday, Mr. J. N. Dudlow, ono of the coroners for West Kent, held on inquest at the village public house at Trolley, which is situate a Alert distance from the main road between Msidstoae and Sevenoaks, sod about midway between those places, on the body of an unknown woman which had been found in a small cop pice at the side of the road, and from the appearance of the body and its surroundings it was evident that • brutal murder had been committed, stud that it had been preceded by outrage. It appeared that two labourers, who had to pass the place daily to their work, had their attention drawn about a week ago to a very offen sive smell, but they took no notice of it, thinking it proceeded from some dead animal. Lest Thursday, however, it had become so offensive that they decided upon visiting the coppice together in the evening to find out the origin of the smell, and at a short distance within the coppice they found the body of a woman, appa rently about forty years of age, lying upon her hack, with her legs extended, and her clothes turned up all around her. The head and face were completely enveloped in a shawl which was tied tightly round her throat, sad fastened by two knots in the fleet, the ends being turned in. The police were at once nommnnic•ted with, and on the following day a more minute inspection of the place was made, hut in consequence of the large number of per sons who had visited it, the body not having then been removed, all traces of a struggle which one of the men who found the body said had sppeartd to have taken place at that particular spot, were trodden out. At the feet of thebody were the marks of the toes of a man's boots deeply pressed into the ground, sad those, with other circumstances, left little doubt as to the outrage which had preceded death. In sonic great about • dozen yards from the body there were evident signs of • struggle, end there *constable picked up a quantity of hair which was suppose,l to have been pulled out of • man's whiskers by the roots. The surgeon who was examined said that it would bete been useless for him to have made a post martem examina tion of the body, as decomposition was so far advanced that bruises or marks of violence, if there bad been any, could not have been detected. lie supposed that the body had been lying there for • fortnight at the least, and his opinion was that death was caused by suffocation. It was in the bounds of possibility for the woman herself to have tied the shawl, hut it was exceedingly improbable. A woman, whose appearante corresponded with the deccesed, was seen in the neighbourhood about three weeks before hawking small wares, and about that time a boy found • small box containing a few such articles in • ditch close by where the body was found, so that the date of the occurrence can be arrived at with some degree of certainty. The jury returned an open verdict of " Found dead," and it is to be hoped that the mystery surrounding this shocking affair will soon be cleared up by the county police. Et VLESIASTICAL QUESTIONS IN PARLIAMENT.—NO fewer than six ecclesiastical questions stand in the order book of the House of Commons for consideration this week. To-morrow night Mr. Fawcett is to move " that it is un desirable that the fellowships and foundation scholarships of Trinity College, Dublin, should be exclusively appro priated to those who are members of the established church." The third reading of Mr. Coleridge's University Tests Abolition Bill, which is to be opposed, stands for the moue evening, as dues also the committee on Mr. Mill's West Indies Bishops and Clergy Bill. On Wednesday Lord Amberley's Sunday Lectures Bill stands for a second reading, and at the name sitting the Church Rate Abolition Bill will be discussed in committee; Mr. Hubbard's Church Rates' Regulstion Bill being also on the paper. Some other ecclesiastical subjects have to be dealt with next week. THE FATAL RIOTING IN WATERFORD.—WATER- Tom), June IC —The city was in a state of riot last night. Four of the men who landed at Dungaree° lately were sent here from Cork. They arrived by the 8.45 p.m. train. A guard of four mounted and twelve foot police met them, and escorted them to Lady-lane lock-up. A large crowd collected on the way, shouting and groaning. All the approaches to the lock-up were tilled with an excited mob. Head-constable Barry, who was in command of the con ' atabulary, sent for reinforcements, and on their artival pro ceeded with the prisoners to the county gaol. The crowd had meanwhile greatly increased, and it was with difficulty way could be made. The mob stoned the police in Patrick street, when nearing the gaol. The police cleared • passage to the prison doors, and got the prisoners, who had also suffered from the stones, in safe. On returning, the police were again stoned—brickbats, paving stones, &c., flew like hail, cutting and wounding the men dreadfully. They were compelled to turn and charge the mob to save their lives. One man named Walsh, a salter, was stabbed near the breast and killed ; another, named Keenan, was severely stabbed, and his life is despaired of ; about twenty others were wounded. The horse police rode through the crowd. A desperate fight took place for some minutes. The hone police eventually cleared the streets. About 11 o'clock the city was again quiet. It is said an inquest will be held to-morrow on Walsh. The police acted with great forbearance. Several of the men are laid up with wounds. They arrested one man only ; be was among the mob, and made himself very conspicuous. The Dungarvan prisoners' names are—Patrick Carr, alias P. F. Cane, John Care John Donovan, alias John Warren, William Palmer, Wiwi William Nagle. Keenan is yet alive, but is nos expected to live till night ; he is wounded in the lungs. An inquest will be held to-day or early to-morrow on Walsh. Keenan has a wife and five children. Great consternation prevails. Expressions of disloyalty were freely used last night. Cheers were given for the Fenian* and the Irish Republic, and groans and hisses for Great Britain. One policeman, Constable Mercer. received very bad treatment, and is laid up ; the others suffered from cuts on the head received from stones.—Dubin Evening Mail. THE TRADES rNION INQUIRY AT SHEFFIELD.— This inquiry was resumed on Saturday. The first witness called was Dennis Clarke, alias " Tucker," whore isemliar characteristics woe, his forgetfulness of events which had taken place. Witness said that after coming of age he was employed by Mr. Wilson, and when he left the latter place eight or nine years ago he with others (Amongst dein Shaw) joined the union. He had been intimate with Shaw ever id. oe. He had never been employed by the secretary to do any kind of business for the union. Neither Mr. Broadhead nor anyone else had employed him. Was not aware if people watched the Inewbets to see if they conformed to the rules of the union. He was never set to du this that he knew of. Had been on the box, but he was not aware how long. He had received ed. lately for scale, but he had previously received 17s. 6d. per week; that was when be hod four chil dren—now he had only two. Mr. Overend—Then you had 17s. 6d. per week fur four years for doing nothing. He milled for work during that time, but there was a list of unemployed for the inspection of masters, No one is at liberty to apply for a work man unless his name was on the list, but he bad never been sent to a master for employment. Had only paid contributions when eniplojed. The men in the union now paid sa. per week, but formerly it was 3s. 4d. to the pound. When he was working tie emmid from 30s. to 21. per week. He was paid scale during the time he was working for his father, his brother, and himself. There were about eighty of them on the box. Did not go to seek work, because he did not want any. Witness and Joseph Martin used to go to Broad head's " when he was dry." He was sometimes working and sometimes on the box. Had seen him many times going about doing nothing. He went to America about eight weeks ago. Witness joined the union because the others did. He paid 51. to join, which was deducted weekly hem his scale. Mr. Overend Why, Mr. Chance tells me you have had about .lA/. out set the union for which you had paid nothing. Now have you d,.ne no ser vice daring the time you have been on scale? Witni se — Not one. Had never been asked to do anything for Mr. Broadhead during that time. Broadhead had never sent him to any master to obtain work. The remainder of this witness's evidence tended rather to throw darkness than light upon the subjects under investigation, and the other evidence taken was mostly of a negative character. +lle inquiry was adjourned till to-day. It will be seen from this summary that the com mittee recognise the undoubted elements of hope still presented by this property, and that, with the capital account closed, and the liabilities liqui dated, any suspension of dividends ought to be merely temporary. Should this financial pro gramme be carried out and adhered to, the Brighton Railway property will ultimately be placed upon a stronger foundation than it has ever occupied yet. Yesterday morning the Bishop of London held a general ordination in St. Paul's Cathedral. There was a full choral servioe, and the bishop was attended by the Rev. Dr. Lightfoot, of Trinity College, Cambridge ; the Rey. A. R. Campbell, M.A., rector of Aston, Yorkshire; the Rev E. H. Fisher, LA., Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge; the Rev. C. W.

In the south, the Vixen colt has made friends for the great New castle contest by his triumph in the Surrey and Middle sex, and clues race with Regalia in The Mate, at Hampton. beset er, 1 cannot say he has really improved utast' his Amos form, as Zenobia would probably have beaten him, giving 711. more weight than at the "royal" meeting, hart Ifib- Gerd not been compelled to stop her close at house, in con sequenire of her swerving, whilst in the Queen's Regalia wan nearly down at a most critical point, and twisted one of her plates besides. If the lulls penalty dues not diapoae of the son of Vixen, Zenobia must be a much better mare than I take her for ; and be will have all his work to do to hold his own among the rubbish in the loodwood Stakes. "The Admiral" has made one of his peculiar handicaps for this event, the top weights being seemingly shut completely out; and yet the talent an, not certain to " find the pea," at any rate not until all the money is down, when it may turn out that the representative of the Finder' interest (my fancy is that Master Willie is Letter than the Vixen cult for such a race), or of the St. Vincent-Betill stable (herein we have Usurper, Cannon Ball, and Lucifer) or the sister to Ve dette will he the best business, one or two of the medium weighted three-yerw-olds, such as Tynedale and Blink hoolie, being really more formidable than the apparently favoured few. Many of the above named are engaged at Stockbridge, and the tactics pursued with them will be worth watching, although the talent may find too much to interest them in the two-year.old races for the handicaps to receive much attention. They will be as well left alone, perhaps, in most instances, the weights at the minor a ff airs being so comically adjusted that, what with the many interests in each being bound to amalgamate, and the " reservation' " some gentlemen will make, I at least have no business meddling with them now, even though Lady Hester, Comm, Historian, Ther mometer, Ac., are handicapped from 141 b to 2141 b easier in 'erne races than others. Matters look better for Odihain to-day ; but here the Danebury stable can spoil a lot of calculations, and I can only , surmise they will be pretty 'cute to beat Lictor in the Hurstborne Stakes, Vigorous (" if wanted ") in the (Milani Handicap, and Chivalry and Lily in the Dognierstield. On Tuesday - , the Bibnry Club held their meeting at Stockbridge, and to strengthen their card three great two-year-old events are taken out of the prograinine of the " open " gathering, which makes no ea rth ly dif ference, ea the ground run over is all the MUM. These three juvenile items, supposing they come to • head, will be worth a good eight thouthuil guineas in the aggre gate, and the Marquis of Hastings having some crack things in each of them, there will be something additional banging to their results. These are not the only great baby contests to be decided, several others having to come off before Friday is over ; and as most of the two-year.uld celebrities, whether of public or private repute, are en gaged in them, the returns will be vastly important. In our of the 1,000 soya. sweepstakes—the Donnington— etwe have Manicluke, who is rumoured to b e much bter than Lady Elizabeth, which character be can sustain if he is capable of beating Sr Joseph's elected champion, Blue Gown, or Rosicrucian, to say nothing of Innerdale and the Doke of Newcastle's birds of proud.r. As the course is only five furlongs, there is a chance of Blue Gown taking the rich prize away froniStookbridge, and Danebury is not ' quite certain to retain the richer one, the Hamilton Sweep stakes, for fillies, Melia being a " rum'un"foreven Athena to tackle, and she might stay the five furlongs be.S. Innerdale will be more at hone in the Biennial, for which, however, Mat Dawson baa also three of the Duke of New castle's to choose from, and It is the selected of the stable that will have to be backed (supposing, of course, the Marquis of Hastings does not " play" with either Melina or Mameluke) against the Duke of Beaufort's Herald or Europa, Mn Chaplin's high-priced St. Rotten, Sir F. Johnstone 's Michael de Basco, or Banditto, Mr. Merry's Parson, Mr. Thellussou's Black Diamond, or anything else. IThese areal] animal, of repute, and in giving the prefer ' epee to the Beaufort Loops it must be a d m itt e d th ere is ' not much to feel confident over. Just to worry • poor "prophet," thereat. Europa, Banditto, St. Ronan, &c., in the Champagne Stakes on the sante day again, opposed to Speculum (81b extra), See Saw, Ra hman, Jenny, the Faun, and I don't know what else ; but here See Saw might have to defend the home interest, Europa being penal ised 41b, and if so there can be nothing better worth following. Difficulties accumulate as we advance further into the week, the Eltham Plate (another of Mr. Blenkiron's gifts, and • new feature in Wednesday's bill of fare), having Herald, St. Ronan, See Sew ' Manieluke, Athena, Lady Elizabeth, Blue Gown, The Parson, and several others that are engaged on Tuesday among the 81 sub.., in addition to Pace, Thunderstorm, Glenderg, Cap-a-pie, and the fates know how many other dark " flyers," By the time the card is out, however, it might be pretty safely determined what will win, and the only question left fur settlement may be whether the Marqui s of Hastings can beat Blue Clown with the best of his clippers. His lordship has Lady Elizabeth looking comfortable enough in the Coventry Stakes, the ('rome, another produce stake, being a more open race, though M. Dawson might supply the winner in Innerdale or Contempt, if the Herald does not previously prove a first-rater. The latter is half brother to Vauban, who, in the absence of Hermit, will have a pretty easy part to play in the three-year-old Biennial. Lozenge has a chance given him in the Bibury Handicap (for which Master Willie and Lucifer may not perform), though • man may get more out of Orne than Kenyon did at Manchester ; and Tumbler is so much at home over five furlongs that he should do Lord Vivian good service in the five son. Sweepstakes • these being the only handicaps I dare touch, fi.r reasons before stated, except the Beaufort and Nursery, for the former of which Julius or Bradareante may just do for the best of the Days, whilst Formosa should run them close in the last day's item. Thursday's Stockbridge Cup, an all-aged weight for age race over seven furlongs, may tempt Lionie out, even against Lord Lyon (9st 131 b), Knight of the Garter (Sat 10lb), Oatreger (9st Friponnier (9st 21b), and the like, for her present weight is only fiat, and Dun dee won with fist 121 b against a good "old 'un" (Wet more) carrying only get 31b. But the klottisfont is nearly as valuable • prize, and a much easier task for Uonie front present appearance°, so that she might leave the Cup to Lord Lyon, who ought to beat Ostreger in despite of the 91b disadvantage, looking at the running of the pair with Moulsey, albeit that line must not be hung upon too implicitly. Lady Elizabeth, Maineluke, See Saw, Herald, Europa (all these belong to the Duke of ' Beaufort or the Marquis of Hastings), St. Ronan, Inner dale, Rosicrucian, Michael de Basco and Banditto, the Parson, Black Diamond, Itabican and others that have prior engagements, are in the T:4 ; so that it is not for me to guess if the hoops can beat the cherry, as the " tip" will be pretty plainly given beforehand, the two Sweepstakes with Manscluke and Athena in them being in the same predicament. On Friday we have three events apparently at the mercy of the Marquis of Hastings, with Lady Elizabeth and See Saw in the two Sweepstakes, and Lecturer in the Ilurathourne Cup, Savemake being scarcely in • condition to compete with the reliant little Ascot hero yet, even with 101 b. the best of the weights. Nothing else olaima any great attention, the Beverley Cup having only to tempt &lien and the Bishop Burton Stakes the best of Watson', (who has Meteor end Stella) for these to be nearly over ; and it is easy to discover Capitola is • capital thing for the Grimaton Plate.—l am, Lc, METEOR. BETTING IN LONDON.—SATuRnAr. The sale of yearlings at Rut Anton Stud Farm was probably the cause of the thin gathering at the clubs, and Lice consequent dearth of specubdlon.

EQUITY COURT.—JUNE 15. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood.) THE BAN K OF LONDON. • Mr. Kay, ().C., and Mr. tiwanston4peared in support of an adjourned summons for the purpose of waking a call upon the shareholders of the company, now in the course of being wound up. Mr. Druce, Q.C., for shareholders holding 13,000 shares, asked that the summons might stand over for a fortnight, on the ground that a scheme was on foot for the resusci tation of the bank, which was said to be supported by con. tsibuteries to the extent of 24,000 shares, the only dissen tient contributory being Mr. Kays client. The scheme was further said to be supported by 372 creditors to the value of 234,2701., the total amount of debts being :ttt9,tino/. Mr. Kay, 4.1. C., and Mr. fiwansten opposed further delay. The resuscitation scheme was by no means matured. liOxburgh, Q.C., for creditor amounting to '2A 9 000/. and Mr. Speer for creditors to the ',lane of 71,00 W., also op ooed the application. Mr. Druce, Q.C., in reply, referred to the case of the Agra and Masteries's'. Bank. Mr. G. M. Gifford, Q.C., and Mr. indwell appeared for the liquidator. The Vice-Chancellor said he did not think be should be justified iu acceding to the application. The summons had been taken out in February last, and was adjourned into court as far back as six weeks ago. The matter was not at all in the position of the Agra Bank, where the scheme was matured and the deeds were ready to be executed, and where the proposal was assented to by an enormous majority of creditors. His Honour could not apply that authority to a case where there was a very far leas propor tion of caseating creditors, who had waited with great patience since February. It had been said that if further time were allowed more adherents would come in, but that was nut a legitimate ground for delaying the call. There could be no question as to the proper course fur the court to take when shareholders themselv. s were desirous to have this order made, in order eitherto accelerate or facili tate proceedings by raising a proper sum by way of call. His Honour thought the creditors couhl not be reasonably asked to accede to any further delay, and the matter must be referred back to chambers to settle the amount of the call. COURT OF EXCHEQUER-JUNE 15. Bitting* in Bens.—(Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Martin and Channell). SLADE r. /MAIM The Lord Chief Baron asked the Solicitor•Ceneral whether the plaintiff bad come to any decision as to what course he would adopt after the judgment of the court. The Solicitor-General said he had not had any com munication with the parties. Mr. Baron Martin—l think before the plaintiff does anything you should read the judgments which have been delivered. The Solicitor-General—l have read them. The Lord Chief Baron—Let it be understood that we shall do nothing unless an intimation is made to us with the concurrence of both parties, or an application is made on the part of your client, who alone has the right to ask that Mr Baron Pigott's judgment he withdrawn. The Solicitor-General—l repeat that I have seen nothing of the parties since the delivery of the judgments. For all I know they may be discussing the matter among themselves, and Ido not think there would be any in superable objection to the question being postponed until next term. The Lord Chief Baron—Then we will do nothing unless some intimation be made to us. Mr. Baron Martin—Since Thursday we have heard of something of which we were not then aware. The conversation then dropped. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. Morita W. Bond, 57, described as a cab master, and T. Nye, 40, grocer, were charged with maliciously and felo niously setting fire to a dwelling-house, with intent to defraud the London Assurance Company. The prisoner Bond appeared to have taken possession of the house in question, which was situated in St. John's-terrace, Dept ford, in the month of July last, and he at this time repre sented himself to have been a farmer in Norfolk, and said that he had just made a fire on his farm, and had lost pro perty to the amount of 1,60 W. He signed an agreement for threeyears,and was admitted into possession of thepretuises, and he effected an insurance with the London Assurance Fire-office for 1:101. upon the property which he represented to be in the house. The fire took place on the night of the :Nth August, and shortly afterwards the prisoner Bond made his claim upon the fire-office for the property which he represented to have been destroyed. The story be told at the time was that he had left the house in charge of a person named Noble, having been compelled to go into the country ou business, and that he could not find this person, and was therefore unable to give any information as to the origin of the fire. The insurance company, it appeared, were not at all satisfied with the prisoner's story, and they put several questions to him, and he ad mitted that he bad had several other fires within a very short period, and this, of course, did not tend to allay the suspicion that existed, and the company refused to settle the claim without having an opportunity of seeing the man Noble, who was represented to have been in the house at the time the fire happened. The other prisoner, Nye, was then introduced as Noble, and the agents of the company put some questions to him, but he professed himself unable to give any information as to how the fire happened. On the result, however, the claim was settled by the payment of 501., and after that had been done circumstances occurred which led to the apprehension of the prisoners and the present charge being preferred against them. . . _ Some further evidence having been adduced, Mr. Justice Willes summed up, and the jury returned • verdict of Guilty against both prisoners, with a recommendation to mercy on the gerund that they believed the prisoners bad been the dupes of some third party. Mr. Justice M'illes concurred with the finding of the jury, and sentenced Bond to penal servitude for seven years, and Nye for five years. MARKETS.

Spinners continue to purchase to supply cur, eat wants, although the aggregate quantity required for this purpose D not large, and less than . last week. A considerable quantity of new wool has come to market. and holders have been somewhat eager to sell at last week's rates. The sales at the country lairs and markets command rates higher than can be realised in this market. The demand for wonted yarns has been ....Amoy meagre. The holidays have tended to some extent to make the torpor which prevails more marked. A triging business has beendone for shipment at low rates. Business can. not bevione at higher quotations.

HARDWARIL - Sfeingelteg, Jrwz IL—The reports relative to the state of trade in this town are still most unfavourable, and mach of this is attributable to the languid condition of the country trade : manufacturers who can ender almost any cir cumstances commend a steady supply of order. are sow as eagerly seeking after them as those whose poeition Is not so pool in any respect.
