Cams Sam—(Before Heron Bramwell.) MUM" 1101111311 T. Allred Murray, 22, and Paine/ Wood, 30, were charged with feloniously aseatilting and robbing Arthur Chandler of a gold watch and other property. Mr. Hasse conducted the prosecution, and in opening the eau he said that it was one of those garotte robberies that bad of late been of such frequent occurrence, and Which had created so much alarm in the public mind. Mr. Arthur Chandler deposed that he was a solicitor, and resided et Umbel-tenses. Os Sunday evening, the feth of July, about half-peat eleven o'clock, he was near his beau oa his way home, and just as he got clots to his own deer be heard footsteps behind him and was aud: s l4 asked round the throat, his breath wee nearly st sad he was &boost strangled. He was held by two mos, and a third men OM* up in front of him and jerked his wade out of hie pocket, at the serne time saying "choke" et "kill the he is too strong." He had apl tin view of Ike man who hag his throat, and was quite we it was the prisoner Murray. He also recognised the other prisoner as or of the party, but he had not an opportunity o f see i ng biro so well Y the other. Witness was forced to the ground and for a short time was needy unconscious, and when he had slightly recovered, he saw the three men crossing the road, and one of them had his bat in his band. The primer Murray was taken into custody on the following worming. and be recognised him immediately. The other pruner was not apprehended until the following Wedges au. He added that he war unable to call out for assistance, en account of the manner in which his throat had been compressed. The prisoner Murray put some questions to the . prosecutor with a view to show that he was mistaken as to his identity, but he persisted in saying that he was positive he was use of the men who attacked him. Thomas Macaulay, police constable, proved that about the time the robbery was committed be was on duty io Kennington-road, when he saw three men running very fast in a direction from the place where the prosecutor was attacked, and he identified the prisoners as two of thaw men. He heard of the robbery about two o'clock the 1111111110 morning, and he apprehended Murray in the course of tie day. He subsequently apprehended the other at a Inetliel where he lived, and the prosecutor identified them Os moment he saw them._ _ _ Both prisoners when called upon for their defence asserted that they were innocent, and Wood went into a Wog date moot, in which he argued at considerable length upon the probability that the prosecutor or the policeman could have identified him when they bad only so abort on opportuaity of seeing him. Baron Bramwell having summed up, the jury Acquitted the prisoner Wood, and foaled Murray Guilty. Lewis,GNryn 2l, tailor, was charged with a airruler offeece upon Francis Judd. Mr. Dukie prosecuted. This case was sunder in its circumstances to the last. The prosecutor was passing along Bermoudeeystrest, on his way Lame, about eleven o'clock at night, when he was wailed by three men, one of whom seized him by the throat, and his watch wee then snatched from him, and he wee also robbed of 2s. 9d. The melt then ran off, but a constable who was coming in an opposite direotion stopped the pri soner sod one of the men, and after a short struggle he was neared, and the prosecutor came up and identified him. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, declared that be was innocent, and said that he heard the alarm and be was running after the thieves when the constable slCd him jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Ackroyd, a constable of the F division, produced a art/. Bats of the oeariction of the prisoner at the Middlesex Benign is 1060 of • similar robbery, when he was sentenced to two years' hard labour, end he had only been a very abort time out of prison when this offence was committ ed. At the time he was so convicted it appeared that there were several other convictions for felony proved spinet him. The other prisoner, Murray, was then placed at the bar, and la answer to inquiries made by the leveed judge, it ap peared that he was Dot known to the police, and he most eassestly asserted his innocence. The learned judge in purling sentence said, that then) offences it err of the most atrocious character, and people IMO almost afraid to went in the streets at sight is come =of them. It was absolutely that they be rapreseed by severe punishment, with regard to the prisoner Lewis, he felt it his duty to sentence bite to ninety yeare' penal servitude. As to the o th er prisoner, be bad been convicted by the jury, and he was bound to pan a sentence upon that conviction, but if hereafter he abould be able to show that he had beau improperly con. viand, he would in all probability have en opportunity of dens so. At present, howeven be had no alternative but to sentence him to tea years' peed servitude. Murray left the bar scathing, and declaring that he was innocent, but the other prisoner (Lewis) was very violent, and threatened the pulioe-oMosir who had given evidesos spinet him, that when he got out he would " hang" for This concluded the criminal balances.

PIRACY, MURDER, AND BURNING OP A SHIP. (From the WesternMerisisig New.) We are enabled to place before our readers some details of the mist atrocious case of piracy, murder, and burning of a ship that has occurred for missy years part, at least in European waters. Captain Grove, of the &esti brig Suss nab, who Arrived at Falmouth on Wednesday, has folly narrated the appalling circumstances to our eorrespoutlent at that port. It appears that about 8 a.m. on the 9th of July last, when about 16 talks S.E. of Malaga, Captain Grove observed the American barque Reindeer, with her ensign down, and the mails flying about as if she was adrift. Be was thou some distabos from her, but he immediately lowered his quarter ggiigg and (with four of his crew) proceeded towards the Reindeer. Gas arriving alongside, Captain Grove observed a man with his head partly over the mil. Smoke was issuing from the poop of the barque. Before getting on hoard, Captain Grove spoke to the half-murdered men on deck, and en deavoured to obtain some particulars of the disaster ; the poor fellow was only just strong enough to say that a part of the crew had been murdered by two Spaniards, who belonged to the Reindeer, and that after murdering or disabling the crew, they had set fire to the ship, stove one boat, and taken away the other, and had mule their escape. The captain and crew of the Susannah went on board, sal were horror-struck on seeing the state of the vessel. The appearance of the mutilated men on board, the quantity of blood on deck, the routings of the captain and men, were horrible beyond description. The steward was on the deck half murdered and Tying in his blood ; his face and head bad been so out and disfigured with • knife 1111 to make it wonderful that he should have survived. He was very weak through loss of blood, but just able to move. The muter of the Reindeer ( is J. W. Hewitt) was on the main batch, covered with • groaning most *tidally, intangible. It seems that he was attacked whilst oaken in his cabin ; his head was partly severed tremble body, and it issupposed he weskit for dead; one-half of his left ear was entirely cat off, end when he awoke and was • little sensible the cabin was full of smoke, but he has no recollection of any of the circumstances of the horrible outrage. The first mate bad also been at and was out with a knife very severely in the neck, seriously injured. The sewed mate, Tata H. Barmy, of Liverpool, and • seaman named Hoary Frost Janes, of Cardiff, were both murdered whiled asleep in their berths. Captain Grove saw them lying there, and thinks that their deaths must have been instantsaums they were in the same position as if asleep, but the quantity of blood around them formed a large pool ; the hearts of both men were visible through the severe knife cut in their sides, and it would seem as if they had been struck on the head by some instrument, and then immediately stabbed in the left side, near the heart ; their features did sot appear to have been altered; the ship's boy on board was also attacked by the ruffians, and having received a cut from • knife, be jumped oven board and swam forward to the bob-stay, where he quietly remained until the murderers left the 'semi The ear putter and cook were murdered whilst on deck, and throws overboard ; the boy saw these two attacked and killed, and their bodice thrown out. The others of the crew who had up to this time escaped, seeing the frightful state to which matters were approaching, climbed to the fore-top and cut the top-pliant studding-sail halyard- 1 block, to protect themselves. The ruffians did not venture aloft, sod it would seem that they were short of powder, as, although they had pistols, they did not fire. Amongst the crew of the Reindeer were two Spaniards. They were not in the same watch, and on the night of this horrible act one of them contrived to borrqw a knife from each man of the watch, raying that he %sated to cut some meat to eat. At this time the other Spaniard was supposed to be asleep. After having obtained the knives frost the whole of the crew of that watch, sad deprived them of their usual means of protection, these two cold blooded murderers set to their work in a business-lib manner. They Ant provided themselves with two pistols each sod a meal Rader one arm, and attacbed knives to their sides. A pistol was presented to the first mate several times, but it snapped and did not discharge. Thus he was spared his life, but received some severe cuts and injuries from knives. Some little time after Captain Grove had been on board the Reindeer, the American ship Minstrel, Captain Clifford, came to her assistance, and every en deavour was made by these two ship-mastan sad their crews to save the barque from burning. She had bees set on fire fore ad aft ; they battened everything down to pre vent any air reaching the fire, and cut holes hi her deck, and for • time the fire appeared to be somewhat sub dued ; when, however, it reached the transom, the flames broke out with much foroe at the stern. The Rein deer was • ship of about eight hundred tons. Captain Grove and Captain Clifford having consulted together, they thought it best to take the whole of the crew on board the Minstrel, and in doiug so expeneoced some difficult/ in getting the wounded from the ship ; they had to lower them down over the Bide of the vessel, Captain Hewitt at the mule time being senseless. They left the Reindeer at about 5 p.m. Captain Grove remained close to her dudes the night, and maw her go does about 8 a.m. the next morning. When on board the Reindeer Captain Grove noticed • log-book, which had been kept by Jones, one of the murdered men, from which it appeared that he shipped on board the Mary Ann in Cardiff, In 1861, and ran from her. Three watches were carried off by the murderers, as well es 400 dollars. Cap tele Grove has in his possession three of the knives need on the occasion, with the blood of the poor murdered and mutilated crew of the Reindeer still about them. During the night after the murder, and whilst the Susannah was in • calm, and only a short distance from the burning ship, Captain Grove maw a boat with four hands and • litter palling close to the Susannah. Sus pecting that there was more mischief at work, be mustered the whole of his crew on the quarter deck, and armed them, in the belief that the boat consisted of pirates belonging to the same party. When the boat came sear his vessel, Captain Grove fired • shot across the boat's bow. On this they pelted away as quickly as possible, and he saw no more of them. A Spanish felucca was also in the immediate locality at the time, and it is the opinion of Captain Grove that the men be saw is the boat were the murderers, end that on his firing across their bow they went on board the Spanish faluoes, as he never saw her afterwards, a/thomik she had for three days previously been in company with him The insgainde observed that however painful it naght be to him to decide io such cases, where persona had such an moodiest chanteter as the prisoner received, yet as then mould not be the alightset doubt io the mind of &Ryan who had board the evidence of the prisoner's guilt., it was his duty to pass the sentence of the court, that the primmer be committed to the Howe of Correction for three calendar months. George Delkr and ✓ohn Spencer were brought up on re mand charged with stealing • watch and chain of the value of 124, the property of Yr. fluot, of the Queues Arms public boa's, Briztoo-kill, o• Tu esd ay last. From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor placed his width hod chain on the table in the beck parlour, add on subsequently missing then suspicion fell ou the priamera, but they etoutly denied it, but the property was subs,- quently found in pawn, and Spencer w•s found to be the pawner. Both the prisoners ware committed for trial. THZ GMAT STICX AHD UHREELLA QUESTION. At Westminster Police-court, yesterday, Henry Belk, commianionnaire 295, appeared to a summons charging him with assaulting Mr. Lamer Fredlander, merchant, at the Exhibition, Mr. F. H. Lewis, barrister, 000doeted the complaint; Fladgate, solicitor to the commweioonairee, attended for the defendant. . _ Mr. Lewis, in opening his can, said that his client had felt it his duty to bring the comp/slat forward upon public grounds to protect other@ from the indignity which had bed committed upon him. He had taken the proper course, at the moment. of complaining to the 'distant se cretary, but had received no redress, and had deeded brought the matter before this court. Mr. Fredlander said—On the Ist of August, between 3 and 4 o'clock. I entered the foreign picture gallery at the Exhibition with my little son. A hen I had advanced Ave or six yards into the gallery the defendant placed himself before me, and said, " You mod sot walk through here with • stick. " I had my walkingstick in my hand at the time. I replied, " Why not! 1 don't see any harm in walking with my dick through here." He repeated what be bad before said, adding, " You must go out, or I must turn you out." I again said that I could not see I was doing any harm in walking through there with the stick in my hand, wham upon he collared me. I said, " Take off your hada. How dare you collar me! You may do it to the pickpocket, but not to ma." He then took hold of me with both hands, and by main force pat me out of the picture-gallery. I said that that was vary shameful behaviour, end be replied that ha bad only dune his duty. I laid, " You have exceeded your duty," upon which be observed, " You sre no gentleman, and if I had you outside I would give you • good thrashing." I was in the presence of several ladies and gentlemen whew this indignity was committed upon me. I have been in the English picture-gallery with my stick, and my wife with her parasol, two or three times without objection. Cross-examined—l am sot aware of any regulation re spective season ticket holders Lavin their umbrellas and sticks. I did not know that it had been prohibited. I have hindsight or nine times in the Exhibition with my stick. I invariably walk with it. I rely upon my stick for support. Defendant did not point out a paper of regulations to me when he stopped me. I did not rub on ; I stopped se tinily. If he had allowed me time I should have given up my stick or walked out, but he collared me immediately. 1 did not say to defendant, " I defy von, or any oommisaioner, to turn me out." 1 did not shake my stick at him. lam quite certain of that. By Mr. Arnold—Defeedant said, " You must not walk with your dick through here." He did not ask me to give it up. Albert Yredlander, • little boy eight years of age, son of the complainant, was called to confirm his statement On crodexaminatioe, be said his lather was very angry when put out of the gallery, and spoke loud, but did not slide hi. stick at the defen dant. Polies-wadable 166 X maid—l was in the picture-gallery. I saw complainant about four or five times in the gallery. I was on duty there. I have orders not to interfere about sticks and umbrellas. Defendant and °then are placed there not to allow sticks, umbrellas, or pumas. I saw the defendant go up to the complainant. Complainant gave the same account immediately afterwards to the assistant secretary se he has given here to-day, but it is not correct in all particulars. I saw defendant take hold of him and put him outside the gallery. Before that he several times told him that it was the commimioners' order there should be no sticks or umbrellas there, and pointed to • board with • notice on it to that effect. He pat his hand on each arm and forced him out. The board mys sticks, umbrellas, and quails are not admitted into the picture gallery Cross-examined-1 heard him repeatedly tall the clod plainant sticks were not permitted here, and that that was the Commissioners' order. Complainant got very excited, and taking up Lis stick shook it at defendant. Then de feodant said he bad served his country honourably 25 years, and would Dot mid giving him a thrashing. Complainant caused a great crowd to assemble. Defendant said if he had behaved so to him outside he would not have minded giving him a thrashing. 1 don't think defendant said, "You are no gentleman." By Mr. Lewis—Complainant was much excited, and shook his stick in defendant's face outside the gallery, saying, "How dam you do it ?" By Mr. Arnold—Defendant, besides pointing to the board, told him four or eve times that he mast not be there with • stick. Mr. Fladgate said it would be a question of law rather than of fact upon which the case would turn ; for, if the defendanl. was authorised in putting the complaisant out, it would be quite clear there we. no more rioleoce used is doing so than was neressary. Mr. Fladgate then quoted the case of " Wood Y. Ledbetter," wherein the former was expelled from the Doncaster °mod &and, and was about to use other arguments to show that the commissioners had a right, sod were under an obligation to the public to ex clude umbrellas sticks, Bc ., from the picture gallery, when Mr. Arnold observed that there was no question about it. The commissioners had a right to do so ; be could not enter tain• doubt that the commissioners bed fall power to lay down such regulations as they considered neesiseary for the protection of the valuable property is thee charge. The be question for him to decide would one of fact—whether the defendant need excess of violence and had conducted himself in a rude and overbearkg assort. Mr. Lewis urged that def end ant might have had a right to prevent has entering the gallery with a stick, but had no right to remove him when there. He might have taken the stick from him perhaps. Mr. Arnold differed is opinion ; be dearly considered that if the defendant had a nght to prevent his admission he had a right to remove him when there. Mr. Fla Math observed that it was quite clear complais ant had lost his temper, and when he shook his stick is defendant's face it could hardly be wondered at that an old English soldier should say that if he were outside—not in the building, where be was employed—he should like to give him a thrashing. Thomas Frogged*, another commissionaire employed in the gallery, was called for the defence, and proved that complainant defied defendant or the commissioners to pot him out, as be had a messes ticket. Witless otherwise sup ported the defence. Mr. Fladgate was about to call another witness, when the magistrate said there wee so necessity, as he had quite made up his mind. He thought the complainant had bees very ill-advised to bring the matter forward, as the exer cise of a little cool reflection should have convinced him that be was in the wrong. He (Mr. Arnold) must repeat that he had so doubt the commissioners had a right to lay down rules for the protection of the valuable pro perty in their charge, and it was a well known and understood thing that the public were prohibited taking sticks or umbrellas into all picture galleries. All who went to the Royal Academy and other such exhibitions must be well aware of the rule, and he should have thought common these would have suggested that it was the mine at the picture gallery of the Exhibition as elsewhere; bet to prevent all dispute or doubt, the commissioners hid adopted the prudent course of baying the prohibition posted up Persons were employed there to prevent others entering with sticks or umbrellas, bat it might easily happen that they got in with them. The complainant did so ; he had only just got in when the defendant accosted him in the exercise of his duty. There was oo doubt that complainant thought it an improper and officious inter ference with him, and resisted it. It was very likely be was not aware of the rules, and was very much annoyed, but if defendant had not stopped him be would not have discharged his duty. Complainant need strong language, and they both got into an altercation. and complainant was so much out of temper that he shook his stick in defeedant's face. He (Mr. Arnold) bad no doubt that the complainant had spoken the truth to tho very best of his belief, but his temper had got the better of his memory, and he led forgotten pert of what bad occurred. It would be better that a sharper look out should be kept, and that persons should not be admitted within the gallery with the prohibited articles. la this case there was no ex treme or unnecessary violence used ; if complainant had no right to be there, be was liable when found there to be put out, and be (Mr. Arnold) could °sly repeat that it was much to be regretted the case had boon brought there at all. Defendant was then discharged.

GRAND TUNS RAILWAY OP CANADA. In yesterday's report was announced the fact that there was a majority in favour of the motion for the adop tion of the Arrangemeote Act, recently passed in the Ca nadian legislature. The arneodmeot of Mr. Cooybears for an adjournment was ultimately se con d e d by M r . Ch a p man . The following is a detailed account of the subsequent pro ceedings t Mr. SALIBBIIIti at some length combated the views of Mr. Cooybeare, and supported the views of the directors. Mr. W•rire, in compliance with a general call upon him, entered in detail into the advantages all classes of holders would derive from the adoption of the proposal, and pointed out the great reductions which had already been effected in the expenditure of the company and the improved prospect for the future. Mr. BUBFILS hoped that Mr. Conybeare would withdraw his amendment ; which that gentleman expressed his wil lingness to do, but his seconder not aseenting, Mr. WATICIN said be would hold up his hand against the motion from the chair, in order that the votes of the meeting and the proxies which had been sent in might be recorded, so that the public and the government of Canada might be informed of the unanimity with which the pro position of the board was received by all classes interested. The °HAMA* consequently declared that a poll would be opened at once to receive the votes, and stated that the result would be declared at one o'clock to-morrow (this day.) The following resolutions were then moved by Mr. Cater 10614.and.carried _ "That in the opinion of this meeting it is desirable that immediate measure, be taken to establish a domicile and seat of management of the company in London, and that the London directors be requested to give their earliest attention to this object, and to take all needful step to accomplish it. "That the best thanks of the bondholders and shareholders of the eompany ars due, and are hereby offered to Mr. E. W. Watkin, for his callable services to the company during the past twelvemonth. "And further, that this meeting desires to express an earnest hope that the company may continue to have the great advantage of Mr. Watkin's tried ability sad taped- "That the Loudon directors be requested to mettle and discharge all claims for costa and expenses under section 37 of the Arrangement. Act, 1862. "That the sum of 500.0001. for equipment purposes shall not be raised except by a vote of the majority of the votes represented at a special meeting called for the purpose. " That this meeting deeply regreta to learn that the postal arbitration proposed by the late, and acted upon by the present, government of Canada, his, notwithstanding, bees recently rescinded by the Cloveroor•Generel in Council, and, regarding this act as tending to destroy confidsooe in the official acts of the province, this meeting directs the I board to memorialise the Oovernor•General in council on the subject, not doubting that a measure of such impolicy and injustice will be recalled." A vote of thanks to the committee, the chairman, and directors, concluded the proceedings. NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE RAILWAY. Yesterday, the half-yearly meeting of this com pany wu held at Stokempon•Treat ; Mr. BBODIUCL, the deputy chairman presided. The report of the directors wee taken ea reed. The CHAIMMAN in moving the adoption of the report, entered into the usual review of the position and prospects of the company, in the course of which he alluded to the parliamentary contests in which the company had been en gaged in the late session ; is their opposition to the Stafford and Uttoxeter line they had been defeated, though they bad offered to promote next session a line in every way better suited to the wants of the locality. In their oppo 'Rion to the Wellington and Silverdale line they had been sumemful in the House of Lord ; this bill bad bees ' promoted by the Great Western company, sad, in opposing it, he regretted that they had been brought into outman- I rem with the chamber of commerce in the Pot teries ; at the same time he denied that the tolls on the North Staffordshire line were in any way oppressive. 1(r. Brodrick next alluded to the dividend pro posed. He admitted that it was low, but he spoke hope fully as to the future as soon as the present exceptional con dittos of trade bad passed away. The earthenware trade had fairly located itself here; It was advancing as an artistic manufacture, and the arm trade of the dis trict was rapidly developing itself, and he hoped they I were recovering from the shock they had sustained in common with other districts by the American war. With reference to the future, the hoc. gentleman said that lin the five weeks of this half-year their receipts showed aa increase as compared with last year of 5001. per week. He hoped that this would continua, and that at the end of the current half-year they would have a more eatisfactory re port to present to the shareholders. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Lieut.-Colonel PIARIKIN seconded the motion. Mr. ANDERSON, of Aberdeen, who stated that he reeve. nested one-fourth of the sharecapital,end beldll,oooproxies, complained of the system pursued in the general mamas meot of the property. He suggested that the management should be entirely reorganised with the view to increased economy. Under the present system their increased reve nue had been followed by decreased dividends ; and at the expiration of 12 years' working it was found that the line had gone to wreck, and the shareholden bad been called on to provide the means to renew the permanent way. With economical management, he believed their dividends might have been increased 2 per cent. The CHAIRMAN replied to the various objections urged by Mr. Anderson ; he denied that the line was a wreck ; that expression was (he said) altogether unjustifiable ' • and the plan which had been adopted for raising the funds to the permanent way was the same as had been adopted by other companies. As to economy in the management, that would never be lost sight of. Mr. A DAIITHWAITI said it appeared to him they had bass paying dividends out of capital, otherwise the 205,00 W. DOW required to repair the permanent way would have been gradually reserved from the time the line was opened. Mr. Ricardo had given • distinct pledge that the Si. 6a. 44. would never be called up. Mr. WOODMOUSZ asked what they propoeml to do when the permanent way now to be Maid required renewing? They would have no uncalled sum of WOW., as they sow had. He contended that from the moment the line was opened there ought to have been • certain sum set apart for renewals, which was the course pursued by the London and North Western Company. The CRAIIIIMAII denied that Mr. Ricardo had ever gives any pledge that the 21. 6a. 4d. would never be milled up. On the other hand be had always contended that the fact at the shares being liable to • call depressed their market value. — Tie motion for the adoption of the report was put and carried.with two dissentients. _ _ Thedivideod at the rate ot 3 per 88at.pu annum was declared, and the retiring directors re aieated. BEDFORD AND CAMBRIDGE RAILWAY. Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of the share holders was held at the Eireteeatation, W. W. R. WeIT• saw) in the chair. The CIFIAIRMAYI in moving that the report be received and adopted, congratulated the shareholders on the present position and future prospects of the line. Then wee one matter on which they were to be especially congratulated am it was a thing unprecedented in the history of railway enterprise in this country; they had succeeded in completing the line within the original cost as estimated by the en• Kinser ; and not only was that the case, but the contractors had handed it over to them in a finished state three mostly; earlier than they were by their agreement bound to do. (Hear, hear.) The motion was unanimously approved of. iscr uN lT tw A h ß eske . 1 - wod :rh: tuu.c. venir e Pvito lkiti fIiUM LAST WIUB?t GAZETTE. nga ll oAfug A:ll ,s i , • IANKRUPT6. or . p.e. m. bro p 7 r io c o o i t i . n7 e A u FL ad ric : :, (NAMES OP SOLICITORS AID Porrillb PAIITICULALS TOO OVUM= AT TH.
