MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Dowling, Deputy Assistant Judge.) Frederick Dodd, 21, was indicted for stealing Is. 4d., the moneys of John Wilson, his master. Mr. Collins prosecuted. The prosecutor is a baker, living inßath-street,iit. Luke's, and the prisoner was in his employ, and suspicion being entertained of his honesty money was marked and put into the till. Police-constable Charles Clay, 26$ G, was in the house on the 20th of August watching the prisoner, and while the prisoner was alone in the shop selecting bread to take out to the customers he was observed to put his hand in the till and take out money, which he put into his pocket. Having left the house the constable followed him and brought him back, and told him to turn out his pocket. He put 9s. 6d. on the table, and on being asked if he had any more he said he hadsome layman in the bakehouse. In Übe= was found 11.10 s. in silver and copper, and amongst it a Spence and • fourpenny piece which Mr. Wilson had marked. The constable asked him for the key of his box, and in that found 81. in gold and 3/. 17s. 10d. in other moneys tied up in • handkerchief, which he could not account for. A key that would unlock the till was found in the prisoner's possession. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The Deputy Assistant-Judge sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 12 months. (Before Mr. Payne.) Henry Leery , 16, servant, was indicted for stealing a pair of boo ts of the value of lt., the property of Frederick Holroyd. The prisoner, who is what is called an " area sneak," is one who creeps into areas, and when servants are not in the way steals anything he can lay his bands on. When called upon by Mr. Hodgkinson (the clerk of the court) he said he was not guilty. Henry Bradley, of 17, Market-street, Marylebone, said he met the prisoner, who had a pair of boots in his hand, and he asked him if he would be kind enough to pledge them for him, and ho consented to do so. They went to Mr. Reeves's, pawnbroker, in Chapel-street, and the boots were pledged. Albert Frock, servant, at 8, Sussex-square, identified the boots as his master's property. They were taken from the pantry window. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The prisoner had been in prison before. Mr. Payne sentenced him to eight months' imprisonment with hard labour. • Henry Radford, 18, a miserable-looking man, was in dicted for stealing a coat of William Woods, a carpenter. The prosecutor, who lives at 5, Old Church-row, Step ney, said he lost the coat from the works at Millwall, where he had been engaged. He followed the prisoner, and asked him if he knew anything of his ooat,and he said, "Oh ! yes ; I have got it on." Prosecutor said, " Well, I shall give you, my chicken, into custody, so come along with me." A constable then camo up, and the prisoner was given into custody. The jury found him Guilty. Charles Wilson, a constable in the West India Dock, said he was present at the Middlesex Sessions in July, 1865, when the prisoner was convicted of felony and sen tenced to six weeks' hard labour. He was again present at the sessions at the following November, when he was again convicted of felony and sentenced to six months' hard labour. Mr. Payne sentenced the prisoner to 18 months' impri sonment, with hard labour. Thomas Gill, 19, baker, was indicted for stealing two towels and other articles, value 1/. 75., the property of tiff ui. Gower, from tho person of a little boy named Wallace Atkins. Wallace Atkins, a boy, 9 years of age, said he was sent to Mrs. Gower's, 5, Gray's-inn-passage, Gray's-inn•road, for a bundle of clothes, and as he was going there the prisoner stopped him and asked him where he was going to, and he told him to fetch some clothes. He fetched the clothes, and the prisoner met him again and snatched them from him and ran away. Another little boy, 12 years of age, gave confirmatory evidence. Thomas Barnes, police-constable, apprehended the prisoner in a crowd. He stoutly denied any knowledge of the robbery. The jury, without hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Payne said the prisoner was an impudent thief. It was a bad offence to take advantage of youth. The sentence upon him was that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 12 months. THE POLICE COURTS. LAMBETH. 17i:aheth Aldridge. a middle-aged married female, was charged before Mr. Elliott with shoplifting. Thomas Jones, sbopman to Mr. Goodall, draper in the Walworth-road, said that on the evening before, from what had been told hint, he went into the street and saw the prisoner a few doors off, carrying a piece of print which she had stolen from his master's shop. lie pursued and caught her, when she dropped the print, and he brought her back to the shop and kept her there until a constable arrived. Police-constable John Smith, 132 P, said that on taking the prisoner into custody she pretended to be drunk, and said that if she had not been so she should not have attempted to steal the print. Mr. Elliott—Was she the worse for liquor at the time? Witness—Not at all, your worship. Mr. Elliott—la she illown? Witness—Yes, she is, sir. There is a constable present who has had her in custody for a similar offence. l'olice-constable Patrick Weston, 17 P, said that on the IGth of April, IW4, he had the prisoner and another female in custody for shoplifting, and they were both com mitted to Wandsworth House of Correction for three months each. . The first witness was recalled, and said that the piece of print measured 40 yards, and was worth 2!. The prisoner begged hard to be let off, on account of her four children, but she was fully committed to take her trial at the Surrey Sessions, at present being holden at Newington Sessions House. THAMES. David Pere:eal, n illiant Kitr r, William Allen, and Charles Galk6t•it, mechanics, were bronchi before Mr. Partridge, chtirgetl with violently assaultmg Police-con stable Hawkins, No. 224 K. The complainant, who has been very severely injured, said he found Percival in the East India-road, Poplar, at one o'clock that morning, and he laid down on the ground and appeared to be quite helpless. He raised him, and told hint to go home. The prisoner immediately kicked him. The other prisoners then came up and in stigated Percival to ill-use him. King kicked and knocked him down, and while be was down Allen came behind him and struck him repeatedly with his fist. After struggling with two of the prisoners on the ground he managed to ri.e. Percival struck him again, and he then drew his staff, and knocked him down with it. Allen then resumed his attack, and he also knocked him down with his staff. A man came up and sprung his rattle, and as sistance came. A shower of stones was then hurled at them, and one of them struck him on the helmet, and an other on the back. _ . William Cole, shoemaker, of No. 25, Upper North 'beet, Poplar, heard a rattle sprung, and went into the East India-road and saw a row. He could not swear to either of the men. . . Edward Layton, a police-constable, 290 K, heard cries of "Murder. and saw the prisoners upon the constable Hawkins. He heard King say to Gallafant, " Give it hinp ; serve him out." Both men kicked him. He assisted Hawkins and others in arresting the prisoners. Percival was very drunk. The other prisoners were also the worse for liquor, hut know what they were about. The prisoners, who made light of the charge, said they were drunk, and that they had been knocked about by the police. A witness, named Ann Rent, was called for King, and said the prisoner had lived in her house, No. 8, Park-place, Poplar, for two years, and she knew him to be a very steady and honest man. Mr. Partridge, after a long investigation, said this was a case which must be severely dealt with. A savage and dastardly assault had been committed on the constable Hawkins, who was engaged with a drunken and violent maw, and the prisoner not only instigated that man Percival to illuso the constable, but brutally attacked him. One of the prisoners, like a coward as he was, came behind the constable, and hit him while he was down. Two of the prisoners were knocked down by the constable, who had a right to use his staff after he was ill-used. There was very little dif ference in the guilt of the prisoners ; if ant, there was a shade in favour of Percival, and he should give him the option of paying a fine. He sentenced him to pay n tine of U. to the queen, or be imprisoned for one month. He sen tenced the other prisoners to ono month's imprisonment and hard labour. All the prisoners were mechanics, earning good wages, and he felt quite ashamed of them. Percival paid the fine and was liberated. SOUTHWARK. - - • - - Frediria: Wright, a eal:(Kiter7;tl;a brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with driving over Olive Bromley, eight years of age, and causing her death. Thomas Rayner, a hatter in Suffolk-street, said that about eleven o'clock on Saturday night he was passing along that street when he saw an empty omnibus pass him, and some children were on the steps. The prisoner fol lowed the 'bus with his cab, and all of a sudden be beard a cry that a child hail been run over. Witness turned round and saw the child lying in the road. The prisoner had pulled up and took the child to Dr. Stammers, and afterwards to Guy's Hospital, where she died. Inspector Morrison here informed his worship that he did not think there was any blame attached to the pri soner. He was driving his cab (a Hansom) slowly behind the omnibus, and could not have seen the children on the step. He understood that the child slipped, and fell under the cab. Mr. Gill, the house surgeon of Guy's Hospital, said that the child was admitted on Saturday night and died shortly afterwards. He had not yot made a post-mortem exami nation, but he believed death was caused by being run over. The prisoner, who said it was a pure accident, was re• mended until after the inquest. Etimin Cteri., under hdtler to Lord J....,tha? Knight Bruce, of Itoehampton, was brought up for further exami nation, charged with being found in possession of a newly born infant at the South Eastern Railway terminus, Lou don-bridge. The infant was brought into court by one of the naves of the workhouse, who pronounced it to be very healthy, and getting on well. The removal from its mother had not dons it much harm. Mr. Woolrych asked if the medical officer was in attendance ? The constable replied that he could not attend that day, as he was obliged to go into the country. Mr. Woolrych accordingly remanded the prisoner until Monday, accepting bail for his appearance. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 5, 1866. THE ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT OF £lO,OOO. At the Mansion-house, yesterday, Mr. William Charles Haddon, an elderly man, who for many years was employed as the manager of the London establishment of Messrs. Russell and Sons, the proprietors of the Crown Iron Tube Works, at Wednesbury, in Staf fordshire, and who has been in custody for some time upon the charge of embezzling a large sum of money, the propertT of his employers, was brought up before Alderman Sir It. Carden for final examination. Mr. G. Lewis, of Ely-place, again attended on behalf of the prosecution ; and Mr. Wontner, jun., of Bucklers bury, appeared for the defence. The whole of the voluminous depositions that had been taken at the previous examinations were read over by one of the clerks, and it will be remembered that the main facts that appeared to be established were that the prisoner had received very large sums of money from various cus tomers on account of the prosecutors, and that, instead of remitting the whole amount he so received, he kept back considerable sums, and paid the cheques to his own private account at the Alliance and the Metropolitan and Provin cial Banks. It was also proved that with reference to one cheque for 101/. 5e., which was made payable to order, that the prisoner signed the endorsement of Messrs. Russell and Sons to this cheque, and had thus rendered himself amenable to a charge of forgery. Mr. Silas Guy, the accountant to the prosecutor, and through whose examination of the books of the prisoner the alleged defalcations were discovered, was recalled at the request of Mr. Wontner, and questioned with reference to the alleged forgery of the endorsement to the cheque for 1011.5, In answer to questions put to him, he said he was not prepared to state upon his oath that the prisoner would not have had authority under certain circumstances to endorse the name of Mr. Russell to a cheque he received on account of the firm, but he said he was able to state that he had no authority to do so with regard to this particular instrument. Mr. Wontner then put a letter into the witness's hand, and asked him if it was not the handwriting of Mr. Russell. He replied that it was. Mr. Wontner then put the letter in evidence, and it was read. It was dated December 7 1865, and was to the effect that the prosecutor bad su stained a great deal of mischief by reason of the bill transactions in which he had been engaged with the prisoner, and expressed a fear that the latter was devoting more attention to his own specula tions than to the prosecutor's business. The prosecutor also requested the prisoner to dispose of certain shares as well as he could, and return some bills of exchange before they became due, and stated that he must get out of the bill transactions as quickly as possible. The prosecutor likewise stated in the letter that the prisoner was aware that he was heavily indebted to his bankers, and that in consequence of the largo amount of bills that were out standing in his name inquiries were constantly being made by parties interested, as to whether his firm was in a condition to pay so large an amount as was represented by the bills in question. The letter went on to state that such inquiries were calculated to make his hankers auspicious, and he urged the prisoner to sell the shares, and to use the power he possessed to receive money by drawing and endorsing bill, of exchange to raise the necessary amount required for the purpose of returning the other bills before they arrived at maturity. The witness, after hearing this letter read, stated that he still persisted in the answer he had previously given, that at the time this cheque came into the possession of the prisoner he had no authority to endorse it with the name of the prosecutor. In answer to questions put by Mr. Lewis in re-exa mination, Mr. Guy stated that the shares referred to in this letter were shares in the Hanoverian Petroleum Company, which the prosecutor had purchased through the earnest representations of the prisoner as to their value. The subject of these shares had nothing whatever to do with the charges that were now made against the prisoner. There was a considerable loss on the shares in question, hut that loos was in no way mixed up with the alleged de falcations in the prisoner's accounts. Mr. Lewis then said that this was all the evidence he proposed to offer, and he asked that the prisoner might be committed upon the charge of embezzlement, and also upon the one of forgery, in reference to his having placed the endorsement of the prosecutors upon the cheque for :;s. without their authority. Mr. Wontner, addressing the alderman, said that he should now, as he did on the former occasion, submit that without the evidence of Mr. Russell no case of embezzle• ;tient had been established against the prisoner. He should be glad to be informed why Mr. Russell had not been put into the witness box. Mr. Lewis Because he cannot prove anything. It has been proved that the prisoner has received large sums of money on account of his em ployers, and that he has not only not paid them over, but that lie has appropriated them to his own use by Ipaying them into his own private banking account. If his earned friend wished to examine Mr. Russell, he was pre ient, and he might call him as a witness if he thought Proper to do so. Mr. Wontner said he should take care to call him at tho proper time, but at present what he had to contend was that, in the absence of his evidence, there wan nothing that would justify the magistrate in coming to the conclusion that the prisoner had committed any act of embezzlement. It was not enough to show that a servant had not pail over certain sums that he was alleged to have received, but it must also be shown that in point of fact the master had not received the money. He said he thought he was justified in stating that the letter that had been read threw a food of light upon the character of the connexion that existed between the prosecutor and the prisoner, and that the prosecution were bound to call the former 11,1 a witness, and he could not at the same time help ex pressing his opinion that it was a scandalous proceeding for Mr. RIIM6JII to be seated in court during the whole of these proceedings and not be called to give evidence. Mr. Lewis denied that there was any intention on his part to prevent Mr. Russell from being examined, and he npeatol that the only reason he did not call him was that he really knew nothing stall about the matter. The accountant, Mr. Guy, who had been examined, had the entire manage ment of the accounts. Mr. Wontner said he should be prepared to show at a future time that Mr. Russell knew all about the matter, and he urged upon the alderman that without his testi mony there was no proof that any act of embezzlement had been committed by the prisoner. Sir R. Carden said he bad listened carefully to the whole of the evidence that had been brought forward against the prisoner, and he was clearly of opinion that it was his duty to send the case before a jury for them to decide. Mr. Woutuer then said that he trusted that under all the circumstances the prisoner would be allowed to go at huge upon bail. He was about to adduce sumo arguments in support of the application, when he was stopped by Sir R.Canlen, who said it would be quite useless for him to do so, as he had made up his mind that the case was one of such a nature that he should not be justified in accepting bail. The prisoner, by the advice of his solicitor, when he was formally asked whether he wished to say anything, re plied that he should reserve his defence, and he was then fully committed for trial upon the charge of embezzlement and of forgery also. EASTERN EXCHANGE BANK.—The half-yearly i meeting of shareholders was held in Liverpool yesterday, Mr. Patrick Hunter in the chair. The report (which has been published) having been taken as read, the chairman briefly summarised its contents, and said that it had hap peued most unfortunately that since the bank started they had encountered every kind of difficulty both at home and fibroid. Fortunately they had been enabled to keep their capital intact, and he thought they had now every prospect of a successful future. They had come to the conclusion to abolish the system of cre d its and to confine themselves solely to their exchange banking business, which he had no doubt would result satisfactorily to the shareholders. They had made no bad debts worth 'peaking of during the half year, iu spite of the severe financial crisis, and during the very worst period they had maintained their credit in the market so as to get their bills discounted at the lowest prevailing rates. He moved the adoption of the report. This was seconded by Mr. Eirkell, of Leeds, who congratu lated the shareholders upon the prudence which had been manifested by the board. He did not think, as some share holders did, that there was the slightest necessity to wind up. After some remarks from other shareholders, including Mr. Bigham, on the necessity of economy in working ex penses, the report was adopted. EXPORTS "sox LIVERPOOL.—The total value of British goods exported from Liverpool in the month of July, 1866, was 6,811,7611., against for the corresponding month of years ISGS, 1844, and 1663, 6,393,1681, and 5,096,937/. The declared value of exports from this port to the United States in the month of July, 1864, was 1,880,6071., against for corresponding month of years 1865, 1864, and 1863, 1,426,066/., 1,186,1611., ana 1,1 22 ,1191. To the Australian colonies for the month of July, 1866, 134,7201., against for corresponding month and ISO, 249,2921., 131,014/.. and 166,6741. With regard to outward freights, Messrs. Plate and Co., of Liverpool, report that the dullness for most parts is continued, and that for India and China freights are scarce, and tending downwards. In the Mediterranean a better feeling prevails, and a slight advance has been obtained.

In tins, at Is. lid. ; 111 x, 2s. 9d.; Ma., ; Übe., 4tl.—Eadvertisementj THE LONLON, OHATHAM, AND LOVER RAILWAY. Yesterday at the Sheriffs' Court, Red Lion square, the case " Grissell r. the London, Chatham, and • Dover Railway Company," came on for hearing before Mr. Under-Sheriff Hall and a jury. The proceedings were under a writ of el egi t, founded on a judgment obtained by Mr. Thomas Grissell, the plaintiff, and the levy was for 5,320/. 9s. lld., with interest of 4 per cent. from the signing of the judgment in the Court of Common Pleas on the 20th ult. Mr. Lanyon appeared as counsel for the plaintiff, and a clerk from the aloe of Messrs. Baxter, Rose, and Norton represented the company. Mr. Lanyon informed the jury that ne would call before them Mr. Vigers, one of the auctioneers of the company, and he would, no doubt, satisfy them that there was sufficient " surplus property " in Middlesex to satisfy the claim of Mr. Grime% who had obtained& judgment against the company. ... Mr. Robert Vigefd was called. He said he was, jointly with his brother, auctioneer to the company. They bad been instructed to sell certain pyperty, and had advertised the same. A copy of the Tuna of the 23rd ult. was handed to Mr. V . igen, and he was questioned as to the value of certain property therein descnbed in Hugh-street, Pimlico, which was to be sold by auction during the pre sent month. The property was advertised as the " sur plus" property of the London, Chatham, and Dover Rail way (Victoria station improvements). They had been instructed by Mr. Forbes and others to sell for the com pany through Messrs. Freshfiehh, the then solicitors to the company. On examination Mr. Vigers declined to give a valuation of the several plots of property described in the advertise ment. Mr. Lanyon said he only wanted a " rough" valuation. It was necessary that some value should appear in the present proceedings. Mr. Vigen said he must decline to give what was called a " rough valuation." He would make one if required. Mr. Lanyon went through the list, and inquired the value of each. Mr. Vigers said one was worth about 500/. and 3/. a year rental of another portion worth about 901. The site of St. Michael's School was likely to fetch from 5,0001. to 6,0001. The property was in Hugh-street, Pimlico:abutting on the wall of the railway. Besides the property men tioned, there was other worth about 10,0001., and two houses in Belgrave-road which were worth about 3,000/. each. Mr. Under-Sheriff Hall asked whether the leasehold pro perty, as it was both leasehold and freehold, would be taken as tenant by elegit, or whether it would be taken absolutely. Mr. Lanyon said the best course would be to hold it as tenant until the claim was satisfied, and not to take it at once. The learned tinder-Sheriff observed that the property described was more than sufficient to satisfy the demand of Mr. Grissell. . . . Mr. Vigers expressed a hope that it would cover five or six times the claim. Mr. Linyon thought it would be advisable to confine the inquisition to the freehold property, and not to reckon the leasehold. He subsequently said in a case like the present the best course would be to take the value of the freehold and leasehold. The clerk from the office of Baxter, Rose, and Norton suggested that there was no evidence that the property in question belonged to the company. Mr. Under-Sheriff Hall thought the evidence of Mr. Vigers showed it. He did not see how the company had aPI ocus standi on the present occasion. The learned Under- Sheriff told the jury that they had to find as to the value of the freehold and leasehold property, in order that a re turn might be made, and they could not do better than act on the evidence of Mr. Vtgerai as to the value. Verdict accordingly. THE MANCHESTER STAMP-OFFICE ROBBERY. Yesterday the two men (Charles Batt and Charles Leeson) apprehended in London on suspicion of being connected with this robbery, were brought before the Manchester magistrates for examination. A military meseenger,whose station is outside Somerset-house, identified both of them as having been in company on the day when Batt called at the spoilt stamp-office. The case was remanded for further evidence. During the morning a man was ap prehended in the gallery of the police-court, who is be believed to be an associate of the prisoners, but at present the police appears uncertain whether they will be able to connect him with the charge. ACCIDENT ON THE GREENWICH RAlLWAY.—Yes terday morning an accident occurred near the Spa-road station of the Greenwich line, which, though occasioning serious injury to several persons, has not, as far as we can at present ascertain, been attended with any fatal result. It occurred to the nine o'clock train, which was proceeding to Greenwich. At the Surrey Canal Junction, near the Commercial-road Station, there is the Bricklayers' Arms siding which runs on to the main line to Greenwich. An engine was upon this siding, and it was the duty of the driver to remain until the pass signal was given for him to pass on to the down line. The signal, it is said, was not given ; but in spite of this the engine driver proceeded with his engine, and thus came into collision with the passenger train. Eight or nine carriages were in all knocked off the line, and many of the passengers were seriously braised and hurt, though fortunately none were killed. Those who had received injuries were immediately sent back to London, and after about an hour's delay the traffic of the line was resumed. FATAL ACCIDENT AT WOOLWICH DOCKYARD.— A fatal accident occurredyesterday to a workman employed at Woolwich Dockyard, named Philip Shapland. It ap pearedthat the deceased was at work with other men upon lio steam-troop ship. Megmra, now in the harbour pre paring for sea, when he fall into the water, and was drowned, although every effort was made for his rescue. The body has not yet been recovered. SINTERS OF CHARITY IN THE LONDON WORK moutsrs.—Last evening there was a very full attendance of the guardians of the Strand Union, at the usual board. meeting, to consider a motion placed on the agenda papers by Mr. Storr, with respect to the offer made by the All Saints' Home Sisters, in Margaret-street, Cavendish square, to undertake the nursing gratuitously of the sick wards of this workhouse. The newly-appointed Poor-law Inspectors, Dr. Markham and Mr. Corbett, were present. Mr. Wilkinson presided. Mr. Steyr, in the course of his speech, referred to the scandalous treatment of the sick by the pauper nurses, which had been exposed by the late inquiry, and said he had very little faith in the system which had been adopted by the guardians, namely, of having paid nurses at 151. a-year, to watch and tend the sick. A noble offer had been made to the guardians by a body of Christian ladies to undertake the duty of tending the sick, and he thought if that offer were accepted, all connected with the workhouse would benefit. The sick would benefit in increased care; the paupers would benefit by the example of duty performed as a Christian virtue, and voluntarily; and the guardians would benefit by knowing that there was a body in the house, apart from the lead officials and the paupers. He read a letter showing the great good these ladies had done at the Charlton Union, in Lancashire, by nursing the sick on a terrible outbreak of fever there, which crested a panic among all other nurses ; and then proceeded to urge the importance of having impartial witnesses of the working of the Poor-law in the workhouses, by raying that there had been no proper inspection of those places. One official inspector could not look after 40 London workhouses as well as be occupied at the Poor-law Board in writing letters, and it was only a pretence to call the guardians' visits inspections, for they were only two hours inspecting the house throughout. He moved that inquiry be made with respect to the manner in which the nursing had been carried out at Choriton Union Workhouse by the sisters of charity, with a view to accepting their services in the Strand Union Workhouse. Mr. liedgcock seconded the resolution, which was sup ported by Mr. Ennever and another guardian. Mr. Corbett, in response to a question, bore testimony to the great good these ladies had done at the Chorlton Union Workhouse. An excited discussion took place upon the question, and the proposal was denounced as a scheme to get in the thin end of the wedge for Roman catholic prosleytising purposes, and eventually an amendment that the question stand over for six months was carried by a large majority. UNITED GENERAL GASLIGHT COMPANY.—The half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders of this I company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Mr. IR. Hudson in the chair. The report of the directors stated that the profits for the half-year ending June last amounted to 10,1011. Is. lid. At Dublin the increase of business had been satisfactory. The returns for coke had not realised so large an amount as was obtained during the corresponding period last year. The reorganisation of j mains and services had been completed . There had been a considerable diminution of leakage during the half-year. The directors applied for an act of parliament during the I last session, which did not, however, pass the committee of the House of Lords, but it was intended to apply again during the ensuing session. The increased demand for gas at Dublin required an extension of retort power, together with new roof to retort-house and additional settings, involving a j moderate outlay ; these would be completed in time for the next winter's operations. At Limerick, the improve ment on both rental and sales of coke bad been satisfac tory. An opportunity having occurred for the sale of the lase of the Austinfriars premises, the directors disposed of the same, and new offices had been taken in Jeffrey's square. The profits, added to the dividend reserve fund of 2,9031. 12s. 9d., made a total of 13,0541. 14a. Bd., from which the directors recommended that a dividend of 20s. per share and a bonus of 3s. per share, amounting to 10,3501., both free of income tax, be declared payable on and after 2nd October next. Three of the directors, Mr. Hudson, Mr. Stephenson, and Mr. Wheeler, and Mr. Wheeler, jun., one of the auditors, went out of office by rotation, and, being eligible, offered themselves for re-election. The chairman, in moving that the report be adopted, stated that the concern would be handed over to the Alliance Gas Company on the 29th inst. The report was agreed to, as also the dividend recommended therein. The retiring directors and auditor were re-elected and the proceedings terminated. CRYSTAL PALACE. OWE SHLLLING DAY.

The Orontes only arrived from Canada on Tuesday last and she immediately received orders to prepare for sea, no repairs being undertaken ex cepting those that were imperatively necessary. The Tamar, screw troop ship, preceded the Orontes last week to embark the 53rd regiment for conveyance from Ireland to Quebec. The Orontes also takes out a large q uantity of ammunition, chiefly consisting of Wadley ds' cart ridges, the total weight being about 1 40 tons. The troops are under orders to embark on Thursday morning. It is understood that these rapid movements are the result of an urgent demand on the part of the Canadian government for reinforcements in anticipation of another Fenian raid upon the frontier. VISIT OF THE LORDS OF THE ADMIRALTY TO PLYMOUTH.—PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 4.—Sir John Pakington, the First Lord, held the usual official levee in Devonport Dockyard on Monday. The hat board had for several years limited the number of officers admitted to these levees, on the last occasion the number being reduced to 30. The result of this was that only those who were early in the field and were the first that gave in their names had a chance of seeing the first lord. On the present occasion, however, no limit was placed to the attendance. Every officer in the district who desired to see Sir John had the opportunity, and 83 availed themselves of it. A deputation from the Devonport Sailors' Home also waited on the First Lord, to solicit a grant for that estab lishment. The other members of the board employed the day in inspecting the vessels in harbour at Devonport. The new ""Wavish " light, for signals at sea, was also in. imected. During the day several of them were lit, and hoisted on board the guard ship, and left until dark, in order that their lordships might witness their effect s after being several hours without trimming. In the evening their lordships dined with the Commander-in-Chief of the Western District, Major-General Spencer. On Tuesday various further details of the arsenal were inspected. In the evening their lordships gave an official dinner, and during the night were to proceed to Scilly, Queens town, and Milford. _ - DEATH OF VICE-ADMIRAL RICH.—We have to announce the death of Vice-Admiral C. Rich, which took place yesterday afternoon at his temporary residence in Pall Mall from the effects of an accident. It appears that on Sunday night the gallant admiral, in descending the lower flight of steps of the goad staircase at the United Service Club, made a false step, and came with great violence on to the marble pavement, sustaining a severe cut on the head, besides other injuries. He was imme diately taken to his lodgings a few doors from the club, but in the meantime had bled profusely from the injury on his head. Medical aid was promptly obtained, and his wound dressed, he being at the time perfectly conscious. About 4 o'clock on Monday morning a sudden change took place, when he lost all power of speech, and became unconscious, from which state he never rallied, and died yesterday afternoon between 12 and 1 o'clock. He entered the navy in November, 1801, and was continu ously employed afloat up to 1829, and went in the coast guard in 18:37, until he obtained post rank the year fol lowing. Hie commissions bore date as follows:—Lieu tenant, 28th June, 1810 ; commander, 27th January, 1816 ; Captain, 28th June, 1833 ' • retired rear-admiral, 10th September, 1857 ; and vi - admiral, 9th February, 1864. MILITARY REINFORCEMENTS FOR CANADA.—Yes terday the Admiralty agents at Liverpool completed their negotiations with the Cunard Company for the trans port of troops to Canada. They have taken up the steamers Europa and Tarifa, which will in all probability sail about Thursday week, and will convey to Quebec the kith Hussars, with their horses, and a number of troops of other arms of the service. THE CATASTROPHE AT OTTERY ST. MARY. The inquest on the eight persona killed by the falling of • chimney on Sunday evening was held at the King's Arms Inn on Monday evening, before Mr. S. M. Cox, coroner, when the following evidence was adduced : Isaac Cox, mason, of Ottery, said--About half-past seven on Sunday evening I came up Mill-street, Ottery, and crossed Bioad-street. I saw a crowd at the corner of Tip hill. A woman was standing on the wall preaching, and the crowd listening to her. She was the cause of the crowd. I should think there were 50 or 60 persons in the crowd when I first saw them, but they increased to 150 or WO whilst she was there, which was about a quarter of an hour. They 'increased from persons coming from the Inde pendent Chapel meeting-house and other p laces. She said something about the rocks and stones falling on us. She mentioned this many times—l believe in reference to the day of judgment. I saw her also preaching in the same place about four o'clock in the same afternoon. After I had been in the crowd a quarter of an hour or 20 minutes, and was standing with my back to the preacher and face towards the building, I saw the chimney begin to vibrate. It turned over in a solid body, and did not fall to pieces until about two-thirds of its way to the ground, when it broke. I shouted the moment I first saw it move, but It fell on the crowd, killing some and injuring others. I saw Emma Hake, whose face was covered with blood, and I helped to carry her home. I saw Jane Lang in the crowd before the accident, and afterwards saw her dead at the Lamb and Flag. The house to which the chimney belonged was burnt down at the late fire. It is the property of Mrs. Catherine Sanford, widow. It was occupied by Mr. Windover, saddler. I have heard that he agreed to buy it, and I saw him clearing out the rubbish about six weeks ago. It was a tall chimney, and appeared likely to fall with wind. It seemed to be in perfect condition, but it was unattached. A great many other dangerous chimneys were standing, many more dangerous than the one that fell. I have seen nothing done to the chimney lately. I think uo one was touching the chimney when it fell. I heard a horse and four-wheel carriage pass by about • minute before the chimney fell. There was considerable wind blowing, and there had been heavy rain in the morn- The crowd caused an obstruction in the highway, so mmuch so that Mr. Salter was obliged to stop his carriage whilst the crowd separated to allow him to peas. The chimney stood about 15 feet in from the road. Catherine Sandford—l am the owner of the property to which the chimney belongs. The house was burnt doWn in the late fire, and the chimney was, I believe, left stand ing alone. It tever °conned to me that it was dangerous, and no one ever told me so or asked me to have it taken down. Mr. Windover occupied the house at the time of the fire as my tenant, and he was about arranging with me for its purchase. We had fixed the price, but we found that I could only sell it for my life. He never took possession as purchaser. I think Mr. Windover claimed the premises, and walled up the bricks. This may have been in contemplation of purchase. William Windover—l was tenant to Mrs Sandford, landlady of the house to which the fallen chimney be longs. I had verbally agreed with her to purchase the house after the fire, about two months ago. I cleaned up the bricks and packed them back, with the view to re building after I made the agreement. This was about six weeks ago, and about that time I found out she had only a life interest, and could not sell, and it was then and ever since well understood that the bargain was off. I pur chased other premises about • fortnight ago. I thought the chimney was in • good state, and I meant to leave it to serve as a chimney for the house to be newly built. It was of brick, and was perpendicular and straight, but not supported by any walls, and never was, but it had parti tion work adjoining, and was surrounded by the wood work of the roof. I spoke to Mr. John Digby, mason, when I bought it, and he said the chimney would do very well for the new building. I did not ask him, nor did he say, whether it was safe as it stood. A regular pond of water got round the chimney in consequence of the rain on Sunday morning. Charles William Whitty, M.D.—About 8 o'clock last evening I was called down into Yonder-street. When I came I found Elizabeth Kellow, Mary Ann Bishop, and Elizabeth Davieslying on theground, and labs, saw Gilham taken out from the ruins. They had all serious injuries about the head. I had them put on doors and taken to their homes. I subsequently saw Emma Row, Jane Lang, Emma Hake, and James Lang. Kellow, Bishop, Bowe, Jane Lang, and Gilham, all died within one hour of the accident. Mr. Edwards also attended, and Dr. Jerard and Dr. Mayne from Mennen. I did not notice the state of the ruins. All the eight persons clearly died front the effects of the accident. Samuel Norrington—l am the surveyor of highways and inspector of nuisances under the local board. I consider it part of my duty to notice buildings that are dangerous to the public. I had seen the chimney that has fallen, but I did not consider it to be dangerous, and for that reason I gave no notice. I understand that Mr. Digby, as a builder, would allow the chimney to form a portion of the new building. I had all the chimuies I thought dangerous knocked down. I had several knocked down last week ; I should always do so if my attention were called to them. The room was cleared, and the jury consulted together for a short time. On the re-admittance of the public the coroner said the jury found a verdict of "Accidental Death" in all the cases, and they wished him to state that the number of deaths was greatly increased by reason of • concourse of people stopping to hear street preaching from a woman named Eliza Hawker.—Ezeter Gazette.
