This ease was tried yesterday. It was an action to "Dover damages ter the bite of • dog, and the plaintiff was nonsuited by Mr. Justice Smith, upon the ground chat there was no evidence that the defendant knew that the dog was accustomed to bite. Kr. Prentice, Q.C., now moved for a rule to enter a verdict for the plaintiff, and stated that although there vs no evidence that the defendant himself bad been told that the dog had bitten other people, yet thee was dence that his wife was told four years ago that the dog bad bitten a boy named Gibson. The wife lived upon the premises where the dog was kept, managed the household a ffairs, and sometimes superintended her husband's busi es' of a milkman. The plaintiff was seized by the dog when passing through the defendant's yard to deliver a s ewage in reference to a supply of milk. Under these gircumstances, the learned counsel contended that notice • the wife was notice to the defendant. The Lord Chief Justice—You say that because the was MI agent to manage his business she was also his agent *receive notice as to a dog kept in the course of that to Yr. Justice Willes—A man's house is the proper place to leave a message for him, and you give it to whoever comes to the door, a servant or the wife. In this case the wife came to the door and received the notice. Rule granted. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) RUE C. BCE.

The cohabitation was at Stonehouse, near ' Plymouth, but it continued on friendly terms for only Moat a year, as in the following summer the respondent formed an adulterous acquaintance with one Jenny Her nial. This led to quarrels and a separation. The respon dent agreed to allow the petitioner a pound per week, but he did not pay it very long, and the petitioner being d es titute went back to him, and insisted on his providing for her. Rue then dismissed Harrison for • short time, and the lawful cohabitation was resumed ; but the her re ipoodent beat the petitioner, and even turned oat of his house. Dane nisi, with costs.

The bankrupt had obtained a lure compensation for his premises from the Metropolitan Railway Company, hut he alleged that thin was due to his former partner, his father. After hearing Mr. Godwin for the bankrupt, His Honour directed an adjournment for inquiry. IN RE' W. E. WILLIAMS. The bankrupt was described as a gentleman, of Guild- hall-chambers, Hasingball-street, and managing director of the London awl Northern Assurance Corporation (Limited), f Cannon-street.

His Honour was of opinion that he had no power to in terfere ; the order of discharge being granted, would of course operate at the end of 30 days to give the bankrupt his release. Mr. E. Reed appeared to oppose the application, and stated that the assignees contemplated an appeal against the decision of the court granting the order of discharge. After hearing the bankrupt in support of his own appli cation, His Honour decided that he could not entertain it. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUG H-STREET. •T[LYYFET) IC I DE THROUGH THE LOSS OE A WIPE. Cilia Campbell, 56, a shoemaker, wan charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting to commit suicide by taking a quantity of laudanum. John Campbell, son of the defendant, said that hearing his father had taken laudamim he went upstairs and found three empty bottles and learnt his father had taken two three-pennyworths. In answer to Mr. Noakes, the chief clerk, the son stated that his father had been in a state of despondency since the death lately of his wife. Sergeant Allen, '2O C, said that on asking the defendant why he had taken p2iskia, he replied, " I wanted to sleep so that I should wake no more.' lie understood the de fendant had previously attempted to destroy himself by opening a vein in his arm. The defendant said he was sorry for what he had done. Sir. Tyrwhitt remanded the defendant fora week. WORSHIP-STREET. RERIOUR CHARGE BY A POLICE CONSTABLE.. Sophia Porter, :ii, respectably attired in mourning and Assaibed as • dressmaker, living with her husband at t 2, Ware-street, Kingsland-road, was charged by police s:Getable Hanson, 418 N, with soliciting prostitution, and unloving passengerein Kingeland-road. This cue occupied a considerable portion of Mr. Par- - ledge's time this morning. The evidence went to show that the constable, according to the statement of the acting inspector (Sergeant Crisp, SN) accused and brought . the prisoner to the station-house about 1 o'clock this 1 morning on the above charge, stating that he had wen her soliciting several persons, that be cautioned her, and on a repetition of her conduct apprehended her. By the evidence of the constable himself now before the magistrate, he had seen her speak but to three, bad heard her make use of some arch words as "My dear" to one of them, and that when he cautioned her, she replied, " I am od i looking at the stars." lr. Partridge asked the constable how he could account for the discrepancy with respect to the number of persona be had said she had addressed. The constable replied that the sergeant must have been mistaken. Mr. Partridge remarked that the words of the act are "importuning or soliciting to the annoyance," &c. There did not appear to have been anything of that kind, nor had the constable spoken to one of them, or they to him. A lady came forward and spoke in behalf of the pri soner ;as also her hu s band, who is a tailor. After which, Mr. Partridge (addressing the young woman) said— Prisoner, you are discharged. (She, on hearing this, sank late the arms of the gaoler.) Constable, I do not pass any opinion whether the evidence you have given is true or false, but it is un somoborated, and there is an important discrepancy in it. Ido not say that you have sworn falsely, but if so, Yoe have incurred a most fearful responsibility before your Gol. Your sworn testimony does not satisfy me. A respectable lady, named Susannah Milwood, residing at No. 1, Devonshire-terrace, Kingsland-roul, states that prisoner took her home • dress at 11 o'clock last night, si rd to supper, was perfectly sober, and left about 12 k for her home. Without making any further remark, as I said, I .lischaree the prisoner. The magistrate marked the police-sheet to this effect at 'mirth, for the consideration of the Commissioners of Pollee, NEW RATLWAY TO THE LASES.—Last season the Furness Railway Company applied for and obtained power to construct a line of railway from Plumpton (close to I :lverston) to the foot of Windermere Water. A few days since the first sod of the new line was cut at Plumpton, but the first stage in the actual working took place on Monday at Haverthwitite. This line, when completed, will be . one of the m os t pl easan t mu t es t o th e l a kes, and tourists will find it rather more convenient than the stage coaches. FISHING AT Kr-swics.—ln consequence of the late heavy rains the rivers in the neighbourhood have been briet fall and large quantities of salmon are seen daily leaping the weir just below the railway bridge, some of them very large ones. Numbers of people have been highly amused in watching their attempts to get up. The fliers have not been known to be so full of salmon for several years back, and a strict watch is kept for their pre aervation.—Camterland Pacqud. Nabs ..„ —129.63 . 391 W.

RAILWAY PROPERTT.—It is instructive to core pare the current prices of the ordinary stocks of the leading tritish railway companies with the corresponding quota tions in the second week of November, 1863.

The Lancashire and York shire has advanced 14 per cent. and the Great Southern and Western of Ireland has remained stationary, but in every other instance there has been a decline, which has been especially marked in the case of the Great Eastern, the London, Brighton, and South Coast, the London, Chatham, and Dover, the London and South Western, the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, the North British, and the South-Eastern. This comparison was instituted between the prices current on the 10th of November, 15/16, and the 10th of November, 186.3. During the last day or two it is right to add that prices have somewhat improved.—Tinses. Sea W.

I( (THIS DAY.) u 1, The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held at 1 o'clock, at the Loudon Tavern, Mr. T. CAVE, BLP., in the chair, " for the purpose of considering the expediency of winding-up the company voluntarily, and of taking the necessary proceedings to bring such winding-up under the supervision of the Court of Chancery." The CHAIRMAN in moving • resolution in accordance with the notice, proceeded to give a history of the company from the period when be joined the direction in October, 1865. He said the board bad kept steadily in view a set tlement of the company's affairs with the least pos sible Ices. Their first efforts were directed to the obtaining time from the creditors; in this object they sue- U ceeded, and from that moment to this they had had no serious difference with the committee of creditors. This agreement was partly owing so their selection of 3 the solicitors of the creditors, namely, Messrs. Ashurst g and Morris. On the 30th of April, at • meeting of the Si shareholders, the board reported that they expected to RI receive 1655000/. on account of the Sardinian Railway ; but, unfortunately, the late war prevented the Italian •, government from carrying out its intention. There ; were other sources of pecuniary weakness, among which were retentions of 10 per cent. temporarily on account of the contracts. At the present moment the Mexican Railway Company owed them 55,000/., and they were prepared to hand over to them that amount in 8 per cent. bonds. At the moment when they appeared in the Court of Chan cery they had obtained from some of the largest creditors their consent to sign • document setting the shareholders free from calls, in consequence of its having been made plain to them that it would be useless to make calls ; the board undertaking that the company should hand over all the assets to the creditors. Unfortunately Mr. King in stituted proceedings which were much to be regretted, and which led some of the creditors to refuse to sign ; but he still hoped the creditors would see that the course proposed would be the best for their interests. An official liquidation meant an immediate call of 30/. per share. The available assets were very small indeed. An official liquidator, coming into the position of the board, would not think of borrowing money to carry on contracts, and the directors were unanimously of opinion that an official liquidation would involve l an immediate call of 30/. per share, so as to realise a small cash dividend. On the other hand a voluntary liquidation simply meant a continuation of the quiet mutual realisation whit had hitherto been going on. lie was happy to say that the creditors had consented to the appointment for that purpose of a coin mittee consisting equally of creditors and shareholders, and he believed that would be best for both parties. Mr. King had suggested that there should be a public accountant associated with the liquidators, and the board proposed that Mr. John Young, of the firm of Coleman, Turquand, and Young should be appointed. (Cheers.) Mr. Thom esoN, in seconding the resolution, expressed his deep regret at the course pursued by Mr. King in oppo sition to the directors. In replying to a question as to when the contracts were likely to be completed, The CHAIRMAN mentioned several cases in which works were completed or nearly completed, and observed that when the Imperial Mexican Railway was finished tho com pany would have to receive 230,0001. In reply to a further question, The CHAIRMAN said the total amount received for mills up to the present time was 129,000/., exclusive of the first payment of 5/. per share. A Sul iiiellot.Des—How much is owing? The CHAIRMAN—About 170,000/. The Siiaitenotiieu—ls that good? The CHAIRMAN—No. ASH REHoLDER—Has Mr. King paid his calls? (Hear.) The CHAIRMAN replied in the negative, adding that Mr. King was protected by the Court of Chancery, and that the solicitors had done ell in their power to enforce the payment of the calls generally when overdue. A SHAREHOLDER inquired why shares in arrear upon which payment could not be obtained had not been for feited. The CHAIRMAN observed that the creditors would not allow the forfeiture. The SHAREH4 4.1 , ER could not 'understand that, as under the articles of association, even if shares had been for feited, a call could still be enforced. The CHAIRMAN remarked that that was true, but the parties would not be liable fur any future call. Mr Kist; expressed surprise that none of the directors bad rised to reply to his published statements respecting the origin of the company, which he must, therefore, assume to be true. (The meeting was proceeding when our report left.] WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.' WEDNESDAY, NOYEIDER 14, 8 A.Y. H. 'l'. 1 W. f. 14 Y. MONEY M, PAINFUL SUICIDE OF A WOMAN IN THE THAMES. An inquiry was held by Mr. W. J. Payne, the deputy coroner, last evening, at the vestry-room, Fair street, Horeelydown, respecting the alleged suicide of Elizabeth Bentley, aged 30 years. Mrs. L. Hodges, No. 1. Arbour-street, Stepney, said that the deceased was her sister. She was unmarried, but shehad been living with a gentleman. Lately the deceased and the gentleman were very unhappy together, and she went to live with witness. Wheo she returned home about a fort night ago she said, " What an unhappy wretched girl I am." On last Thursday night witness and the deceased went out for a walk together, and after they had been out some time the deceased asked witness to return home and set the supper, and she said that she would follow her. Witness did not know that she was keeping company with a captain. The deceased never returned home, and on Friday witness thought that she had met a female friend ; and that she had gone home with her in order that they might go to the Lord Mayor's show. Witness heard of her sister's death on Monday. Mrs. Louisa Bentley, No. 38, Bexley-street, mother of the deceased, said that her daughter was a good-tempered girl. Of course she was not happy with the person she lived with. Mrs. F. Taylor said that after the quarrel the deceased had to sell some of her clothes to get money to live upon. She said to witness " I feel I could go and make a hole in the water." She often mentioned a young man's name, and the; quarrel with him appeared to prey upon her mind. William Gomel' having been sworn, said he was stopping at the White Huree, White Horse-street, Step ney. He had been in business as an ironmonger in that street. Witness continued—A fortnight ago I separated from the deceased. I had been living with her for 11 years. After that she knew where I was and she had the privilege of stopping with me. On Saturday week, when I was parting with tier, I gave her 2s. Gd. She had a bail temper, and on that day she struck me on the head. I was the only person she lived with. A juror—Did she ever ask you to marry her? Witness (laughing)—We talked it over. The juror—Did your not marrying her make an impres sion on her mind ? Witness—Well, it did. I should have married her only we had been living together. She asked me to marry her. The juror—You have heard the evidence of her sister ; do you know anything against the deceased? I wish this to be investigated for the sake of her family. Witness-1 had suspicions. but I have no proof. I know nothing against her. On Saturday week she was like a mad woman. I wrote to her last Saturday not knowing that she was then dead. A juror—Do you not think that your refusal to marry her made her commit suicide ? Witness—Oh no, I don't think that. I know marriage is all right. I believe her mania for going to the Thames at L'attle-bridgeatairs was that her poor father died eight months ago in Guy's Hospital. He had been five yearn in Coluey-hatch Asylum. When I was in business in White Horse-street, the deceased tried to poison herself. Jones, a private policeman at Ileale's Wharf, said that at 2 o'clock last Friday morning, in the rain, he heard a person struggling and beating about in the water. As he could see nothing is the dark, he gave no alarm. Joseph W. Johnson, a waterman at London-bridge-stairs, said that at 8 o'clock on Friday morning he found the dead body of the deceased in the Thames, near Ileale's Wharf. The woman was dressed, and lying on her face. The Coroner said there could be no moral doubt that the deceased had committed suicide in consequence of Mr. Gosncll's refusal to marry her. The Jury returned a verdict "That the deceased was found drowned in the Thames, but ender what circum stances she became drowned there was not sufficient evidence to prove." We (Galigrumi) are informed that Mr. Dove-Dove has recently been received into the catholic church at Paris, by the Abbe Rogerson. Mr. Dove-Dove is well known as one of the Puseyite party, and was a very efficient clergyman. COURT or ALDERMEN. —A Court of Aldermen was holden yesterday in the Long Parlour at the Mansion house, at which the Lord Mayor (Alderman Gabriel) pre sided for the first time. After a few appropriate remarks from the chairman, the usual resolution of thanks to the late Lord Mayor for the very able sod dignified manner in which be had performed the duties of his office (luring the past year was passed. Alderman Stone, the chairman of the General Purposes Committee, brought up a report from that committee recommending various alterations in re. ference to the mode of summoning jurors in the City of London to serve upon special and other juries. the present system having caused great dissatisfaction. The principal alteration appeared to be that the deputy and alderman of each ward should take measures to obtain a cor rect list of persons liable to serve on special and other juries, and that the ward beadle should be instructed to go to every house and office in each ward and obtain the names of all persons who were liable to serve as jurors. The alderman said that hitherto it bad only been cns tomary to have the name of one member of a firm upon the jury, but which was undoubtedly illegal, and the effect of the proposed alteration would be that the lists would be mach more complete, and the persons liable to serve on special and common juries would be properly dis tinguished- The report was agreed to. Considerable dis cussion took place in reference to certain defective arrange ments in placing guests, kc., which it was alleged pre vailed on the occasion of the Lord Mayor's banquet on Friday last, and the matter was referred to the Committee of Privileges, and the court shortly afterwards adjour ned.

Ozi o'CLuctx. There is a good demand to-day for moat securi ties, and prices generally are firm. The public are still investing, owing chiefly to the low rates of in terest now allowed by the banks and discount esta blishments. Another circumstance in favour of increased buoyancy in the Stock Exchange is the small supply of shares to be de livered at the settlement to-morrow, thus clearly showing that most of the recent sales were specula tive. The funds continue in request, and exhibit a fresh advance of i per cent. Some of the foreign bonds are also better, including Turkish of 1865 and Mexican. The rise during the last few days in English railways is maintained. Amongst the miscellaneous shares, the principal feature is a relapse in Anglo-American. The demand for money to-day is very moderate, while the supply is large. The charge for good bills is n per cent., with exceptionable transactions at 3i. Short advances from day to day on English government securities are obtainable in the Stock Exchange at 3 per cent. Consols are now quoted 89 1 1 to 90, cum div., for money, and 88i to ij, ex div., for the account (6th December). Foreign stocks are firm. Mexican Bonds are in chief demand, and have risen per cent. Turkish of 1865 and Spanish Certificates have likewise advanced *, and Passive *, but Italian of 1861 have declined *.

Anglo-American Telegraph shares are fiat, and have declined 10s., viz., to 141 to 15 ; but Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference are un changed, at 4 to 41.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. MARK-LANE.—(THIS DIY.) • The demand for English wheat at Mark-lane, to-day, ruled steady, and fine parcels, both red sal white, were easily disposed of at fully the late advance. Secondary and inferior qualities, although less freely operated in were unaltered in value. The quantity offered was by no means extensive, and the general condition of the supply was rather unsatisfactory. In foreign wheat, a fair average business was passing whilst high rater were realised for all descriptions. Floating cargoes of wheat changed hands to a fair extent, at full prices, and maize, owing to tte shortness of the supply, was very fi rmly held. For other descriptions of produoe, afloat, the trade was in a healthy state. Fine malting barley found buyers at extreme quotations. Grinding and distilling sorts met a slow sale. Malt was in fair request at late rates. ' Fine oats moved off freely, other kinds slowly, at the prices current on Monday last. There was a steady demand for beans on former terms. In peas sales progressed steadily at late rates. The flour trade ruled firm, and pri.ies were well sop. ported. On the whole, the inquiry quiet. for seeds as well as cak.i was CI:altENl Elm Per Qr.

Ma. RusAr.u. GURYET, Q.C.—A correspondent writes :—" It may be true that in the legal chanrs that are about to take place the solicitor-generalship will be offered to Mr. Russell Gamey, but it is not at all likely that that gentleman will accept of it. He has fee some considerable time past given up his practice at the her; he is the Recorder of London, which is a permanent appointment worth 4, 000 /. a year , an d he holds an influen hal position in several great mercantile companies. It is most improbable, therefore, that Mr. Gurney, at his time of life, will resume his practice at the bar and resin the Reocadship of London to east in his lot with a political sanainittration. ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The chrysan themums in the Orchard-house entrances to the gardens at South Kensington are fast approaching their greatest beauty, which, indeed, they will probably attain about the end of this week.
