THE S DIioUTH RAILWAY AND HARBOUR OM rANT. Mr. rdall showed anise against a rule which had been obt.dned against the defendant for a seine facia against a rrhulder in the company named Charles William Whitby, of Ottery St. Mary. Mr. Whitby was the holder of live 10f. shares, for which 15f. had been paid, and the object of the present proceeding was to compel him to pay the remaining .151. in satisfaction of a j , td;ment obtained by a creditor of the company. There was. prima facie a case for issuing the writ, but Mr. tniithy said that 30 guineas were due to him by the COM vany as auditor ; that be sent in a claim for that sum, and that the secretary entered it as a payment by him to the co.opany. The actual sum, therefore, due by him for the purpose of making up the entire amount of pai.bup capital on his shares was only 3f. 10s., which he had handed over to the solicitor of the chiniant. Coder these circumstances, the learned counsel untended there wee no unpaid-up capital upon Mr. \l baby's shares for which the aci. fa. could go. Mr. Baron Martin sail the learned counsel was asking thh_ court to decide upon the affidavits upon one side eherher the whole money had been paid. The usual pi.ctice was, when a prima facie case was made out, to sci. fa., and they would not now depart from it ; it would be open to the shareholder to plead payment .1.1 defence to the action. i:ule absolute.

In 1563, being •1:r:: 19 years of age, and apprenticed to his brother, a sr:erinary surgeon, at Hereford, he married the respon. drvt, who was a women of 26. The match was unknown to 'cis friends.

Dr. Spinks, Q.C., ant Mr. Serb °, for the petitioner ; the reeron,fentin person. The petition;r was an actress, and in 1864, while shewas Caying at Liverpool under the name of Fanny Gwynne, ,e was married to the respondent, who was then a cotton f-nicer, and who had since been a broker in Mincing-lane. Vhile the parties were living in London the petitioner had ' engagements at the Princess's and other theatres. 'ley lived at Camden-cottages, in a house taken for them the petitioner's father. She alleged that the respon .• -et had been guilty of various acts of violence and un ,sdness. Thus on one occasion he threw • jug of water rer her while she was in bed, and refused to tether change er diets. The result was an attack of bronchitis. In . zbruary, 1866, he struck her in the mouth with his fist they were returning home in a brougham from a ball. The reason he assigned for that act was, that he was ° talons of her because she bad danced three times with fue same gentleman. Having read some story of a man . - ho had killed his wife, by tickling her feet, be via continually trying to experiment on petitioner; . nil on many occasions—always when he was ;artially drunk—be cruelly beat and ill-used her. At length she left him and took lodgings in Great Percy ,treet, Pentonville. She gave him 30e. before she went way and sent him 30.. or 21. afterwards ; but when they ad lived apart for about a month he brought two men with him to her lodgings and took possession of all her things. At first be said she might stay with him, but if she went away she must go just as sbe was, without ven a bonnet. She said she would do so, but at the intercession of the men (one of whom said he would have nothing to do with the matter, and went away) be let her take a bonnet and shawl. He also threatened to draw her eatery. A week afterwards, he came to her at the stage door and insisted on her going home with him. She refused, but be dragged her about the streets for about an hour, took off ber hat, thouf . Lt a was raining, and at l as t com pelled her, `beer fatigue, to go home with bim. The next morning he told her that she had condoned all Lis acts, and she stayed with him for some weeks. At :lest his conduct was better, but after a time he began ill treating her as much as ever. On one occasion be insisted f , earebing her. She refused to let him, upon which he tore her dress, bit her shoulder, tried to set fire to her ir, and finally struck her on the face with the candle stick, which gave her a black eye and cut her cheek. This in the presence of a friend of his, named who went and informed the petitioner's friends. The petitioner's brother came, but be locked her up, and refused to let her brother see her. Then her father came, and took her away. This was in September, 1866 ; and ahe had since at times lived at his lattices at LiverpooL Since the final separation he bad attempt e d to regain forcible to.session of her ; but he promised that if she would give Lire 3i. a wee k ( s h e was earn i ng 41.) b e would let her , :one. One night he met her at the sage door at .I,tley's, and insisted on knowing where she was.

Owing chiefly to a large purchase for invest ment, stated to be on account of a leading in surance company, the English funds are rather firmer. Consols have improved 1-16 per cent., and the Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents, I. Home railway stocks and foreign bonds are without alteration of impor tance, the transactions being upon a very limited scale. Peninsular and Oriental Steam shares have advanced IL, viz. to 67 to 58, in consequence of the satisfactory provisions contained in the new contract with the government. The fortnightly settlement will commence on Wednesday, and meanwhile there is little desire on the part of speculators to enter into fresh dealings. The discount market is quiet to-day, but the quotation for the best bills is maintained at I to 13 per cent. Consols are quoted 944 to 1, with div., for money, and 93 to 1, ex div., for the account (December 5). The Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents are at 921 to 4. Railway stocks exhibit few changes. Berwick is in demand, and has advanced 1 per cent., viz. to 97 to 98. Great Eastern and London, Chat ham, and Dover are 1 to 1 better, at 301 to 4, and 17: 1 to !, respectively, but Great Northern A has declined /,the present prices beinglloltollll. Great Western is quoted 44 to 1; Metropolitan 118 to 1 ; London and North Western, 1124 to 113 ; Midland, 1111 to 112; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 121 to 1; Caledonian, 74;; to ; South Eastern, 65i to 1 ; Great Northern, 1064 to 1011 ; North British, 32 to 33 ; Brighton, 561 to 51 ; and York and North Midland, 891 to 901. The foreign stock market shows firmness, but prices generally are quoted the same as yesterday, in the absence of business. Annexed are the pre sent quotations : —Turkish of 1862, 614 to 62/ ; ditto Five per Cents. of 1865, 32l to u ; Greek, 12 to 1 ; Spaniah Passive, 22 to 1 ; ditto New Three per Cents., 331 to ; ditto Certificates, 18 to 1 ; Italian of 1861, 451 to Egyptian, 1864, 82 to 84 ; and Mexican, 141 to 4. The scrip of the new Egyptian loan is steady, at par to 1 prem. Only a few transactions have taken place in American securities. The 5-20 Bonds are inquired for, and have then t per cent., viz., to 70:1 to 71. Erie Railway shares are quoted 4J to 47 ; and Illinois Central, 85f to f, showing no change. Atlantic Cable shares are steady. Anglo-Ame rican are quoted 18k to j ; and Atlantic Tele ' graph Eight per Cent., 31 to 4. - _ There is still an absence of demand for Bank shares, and the tone of the market is dull. London and Westminster have declined 11., viz., to 67 to 69. Alliance are at 12 to 11 dis. ; Imperial Otto man, ton dia. ; London and County, 50 to 51 ; Union of London, 33 to 34 ; and Chartered Mer cantile of India, 26 to 28. The shares of the financial companies present no movement. International Financial, 2K to 2i dia. ; London, 24 to 23 dia. ; General Credit, 24 to 21 dia. ; and Credit Fonder, 61 to 4 dia. The Council of India will receive tenders on the 4th proximo for bills on Calcutta and Madras to the amount of 200,000/. The mail from Guayquil has brought a remittance of 5291. Is. 9d., on account of the dividends on the debt of Ecuador. A special meeting of the Pacific Steam Naviga tion Company will be held on the lith proximo at Liverpool, " to receive a report from the di rectors as to establishing a line of ateam-ships be_ tween Liverpool and Valparaiso under a mail sub sidy from the Chilian government." The numbers are published of debentures of the Land Mortgage Bank of India, which have been drawn for redemption at par on Jan. 1 next. Two O'CLOCK. Consols are unaltered, at 944 to with div., for money, and 93 to !, ex div., for the account. Great Western stock is prejudiced by the decision that the recent issue by this company of preferential stock, in payment of dividends, is illegal ; and the holders of this " dividend stock," which was re cently quoted at 90 per cent., naturally consider themselves much aggrieved. From the fact that the transactions in it have been very numerous, and conducted of course in a bend fide belief that the company had legal powers, complications are likely to arise. Some of the holders seem disposed to try whether they have not a legal remedy. About 20,000 sovereigns from South America were sent into the Bank yesterday, while 10,000 for Egypt were withdrawn. About 736,0001. in Australian gold is now on the way to this country, including 468,000/. just announced as having been shipped from Melbourne during the month of October.

Seymour and Elwyn : INDIAN SECURITIIN.—The government Five per Cents. have now riser. to a point that purchases are checked, and public attention is diverted to the guaranteed rail way stocks. The latter, although at a much relatively lower price, enjoy au equal security, pay the same rate of interest, subject, bnwever, to increase as the profits of the line may increase—an advantage which has been already gained by at least two companies. Again, if in other matters government supervision is often intrusive and sometimes hurtful. the shareholder of an Indian railway knows that he is as perfectly sure of receiving his five per cent. minimum interest to the day for the next twenty years as he has regularly received it for twenty years back, no matter whether times were good or bad. Toe present chaotic state of our railway system must likewise tend to bring into favour a similar security, which possemes wore than all the advantages, and pram timidly none of the risks, attending on our home stocks. ENGLISH RAILWAY ST,ICKM.—This market has expo rienced some violent fluctuations, especially as regards Caledonian. The changes in this description have been se considerable as any witnessed in the memorable Stock Exchange panic of 1:539. As a consequeuce, other rail ways have fallen in sympathy. It is undoubtedly hard for permanent stockholders to find their property daily depreciated by general distraint, or perhaps only marks* rumours. Nevertheless, the good will be done that di rectors will be deprived of the power of borrowing ad lib- Nom. Perpetual loans are sure to foster perpetual extrava- gance. AS a may also anticipate that shareholders will be particularly jealous of further additions of capital, and in sist that all currtut charges, including full maintenance of way and the like, shall be paid out of revenue. Dividends will be lowered ; in the too many instances where they saw dotitinus, will be extinguished altogether; but railway proprietors, if they peneaere to the end, will find honesty sad openness to their advantage in the long run.

SfIOcKINC BoILER EXPLOSION. —Ttirst Lose NEAR CNIPTENHAN.—A dreadful accident has taken ace at Long Dean Paper Mills, five miles from Chippen ham. It appears that some potatoes had been placed to roast in the ashes beneath the fire-hole of the boiler of the engine used fur driving the machinery, and as one of the u.en employed at the mills and one of the women servants were taking these out, the boiler suddenly burst. The man and woman were killed on the spot, and two other men employed on the premises had their legs brolsen. besides receiving injuries about the head and face. The youngest child of Mrs. Watts, the proprietor, a little boy, about ten years old, was thrown by the force of the explosion through a tree, co:uing into contact with which his scalp and brains were left hanging to a bough. To make matters worse ne medical man could be procured, either at Long Dean. Ford, or Castle Combe. The windows of the house adjoining the mill were broken. awl other damage done. It would wpm, that on Wednesday the gauge was removed from the boiler and not replaced, and care wasnot taken to ascertain how much water it contained ; and to the wart of a suM ciency of water in the boiler the disaster is no doubt owing. Iht injured men were removed as soon as possible to thew own honies,awsiths,g medteal attendance.— Witt, Standard. GUN Corrirx. -- On Wednesday the Gun Cotton Committee assemble at Shoeburyness to resume their experiments with gun cotton as • violently explosive agent, as • bursting charge for shells instead of gunpowder. Some eighteen months ago the last es perinieut took place with this object. It was then found, by the premature explosion of the shell in the gun. that no safe method of manipulating the gun cotton hail berm devised, and the whole attention of the committee hes been since devoted to this object. The s on esed on Wednesday was a wrought-iron shunt ri:*.ed made by Sir William Armstrong and Cu., I. l .intila calibre, and 7 tons in weight. The shell in which the gun cotton was tightly packed was of steel, weighs rifts., the bursting charge of gun cotton within the shell being estimated equal to. 01ba. of gunpowder. The gun charge was 30Ibs. of gunpowder. Bvtry care being taken by the Shoeburyaeu Experimental hoard to eider all under cover, the gun was fired, and burst explosively. with great violence. into sevensl bandied fragments. asses f the pieces being found at 400 yards distamo frotu tb battery.—Arety amid Nary Gaulle.
