He knew them all as old thieves and burglars, especially Clark, who had beta traosported for a burglary, and Edward', whom he knew by the sobriquet of "Country Joe." He watched them to Birdcage-walk, where he lost sight of them. Being convinced that they had gone out to commit a burglary, he went to the station-house, and obtained the assistance of Ackrill, 48 F, with whom he returned to the " Five dials." to watch for their return. Clark came back first, catryiag two pictures under his arm, one, a Madonna and Child ; the other in the Dutch school, boors drinking and smoking.

Mr. Wakeliog appeared for the prisoner. The evidence already taken went to show that the pri saner had had a quarrel with • prostitute, with whom he cohabited, and in consequence she informed the police that the prisoner had been engaged in the desperate affray and attempted robbery. Her statement was to the effect that the prisoner returned home on the night in question in an excited state, his boots and stockings being bespattered with blood. In answer to her questions, he told her that he had attacked a poeitman and endeavoured to rob him, but he being too strong, he and his companions had to throw him on the pavement and kick in his skull. He also told her that he had left the man for dead.

This day the first annual general meeting of this company was held at the Loudon Tavern ; Sir MACDONALD ararnessom in the chair. _ _ _ In their report the directors congratulated the share holders on the satisfactory nature of the communications they hid to make. The whole of the first issue of shares was taken up immediately on the publication of the company. The unemployed capital was profitably em ployed, and the securities in which it was invested were worth considerably more than their original oast Managers were despatched to Madras, Bombay, and Calcutta in March last, and since then another bad been sent to the important town of Anaheim& Their exports confirmed in every res pe ct the anticipations with which the comperry was formed. The goverrimeitt authorities in India promised every aid and as genuine, and the railway authorities without exception showed the utmost desire to aid in promoting the esta blishment of the company. General business in the Madras presidency commenced on the 18th of August, and would have commenced about the same time in the Bombay presidency, but for the illness of the manager. It would commence in October at Calcutta. The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, which was agreed to. Auditors were appointed, and the outgoing directors were re-elected. FRIGHTFUL TRAGEDY AT BONNY. The following (says the Liverpool Mercury) is an extract from a letter received by a gentleman in Liverpool from Captain John Finley, of the ship Faith, which, at the time of the horrible occurrence below detailed, was lying in Bonny river : We had a fearful tragedy here last week : one of the na tives killed what they cell a creekman (that is a man who lives some eight or ten miles from Bonny, and who was at Bonny selling yams, as the creekmen are farmers in a way). The Bonny men wanted to kill this native, and at a meeting it was they should kill him. But first catch your hare is an agreed maxim. When the fellow heard that sentence of death was passed upon him, he shut himself up in his house with all his slaves, wives, and children, loaded all his guns, large and small, then dug a trench round and about, and filled it with small kegs of gunpowder, and set the chiefs at defiance. Things remained in this state for two or three days, nobody daring to venture near the house with hostile intentions. At Wt the chiefs offered two puncheons of oil to anyone who would fire his house. A slave took the money,fired the house to windward, and the sparks falling upon the house of the be sieged, soon set it on fire. When the murderer of the creek man saw this he gathered all his slaves., wives, and bairns within the trench, applied the mach, and in a second more nothing was to be seen but mangled bodies amidst the ruins of their former home. There were 35 in number altogether. They lay exposed for three days, then were pat into sacks and thrown into the river." SERIOUS FIZZ AND LOSS OP LIFE. --(TH IS DAY.) This morning great alarm was caused amongst the aged in mates of the Marylebonealmahouses, St. John's-wood, by the noise of a policeman's rattle. The poor people rushed out the best way they were able ; some almost in a state of nudity. A few seconds showed that the fire had commenced in the house numbered 9. in which resided • female named Mary Smyth, aged 82. For anyone to attempt to enter the place was then an impossibility. The fire men were unable to get the fire extinguished until the building and contents were destroyed, but fortunately the fire was prevented from reaching the adjoining honest. As soon as the ruins were sufficiently cooled search was made for the wor woman, and after some time her remains were found by the firemen. How the catastrophe occurred at present remains • mystery. LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS COM PANT. —The award of Mr. 13arstow, the arbitrator in the long-pending suit between the l ate Metropolitan Saloon Omnibus Company (Limited) and the London General Omnibus Oompaey (Limited) was delivered yesterday, and was in favour of the latter company. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AND CLEVER C•PT URE. Oa Friday afternoon last detective officer Labium, of the Lincoln police force, saw three women in the streets of the city whom he suspected to be thieves. He determined there fore to keep his eye upon them,and watched them into several shops where they offered combs for sale. They afterwards went to the postoffios and obtained a post-office order for 31., and then went to the top of Water-lane. Here one of the women, whose name is Waterhouse, left the others and proceeded down the lane, and was absent • few minutes. On her return the three women went in the direction of the racecourse, Lilburn still following them, and on reaching • bye-lane they stooped down and. commenced to break open a cashbox. Lilburu at once obtained assistance, pounced upon the women, and took them and the cashbox to the station-house. Shortly afterwards Mr. Hiley, currier, of Water-lane, entered the office and gave information th;., a cashbox ' containing 501. and papers which he valued at 5001., had been taken from his office, and on the cashbox found in the possession of the women being shown to him be at once recognised it as his property. It would appear that the woman Waterhouse entered the office during the time her two companions were at the top of the lane, and, seeing no one about, made off with the cashbox. On Satur day morning the three women, who gave their names as Mary and Margaret Montgomery and Eliza Waterhouse, were charged with the robbery before the city magistrates, and were committed to take their trial at the sessions then being held. They pleaded " Guilty," and the recorder (the Hoe. G. C. Vernon) sentenced them each to three years' penal servitude. The recorder awarded Lilburn two guineas for hie clever capture, and Mr. Riley also made him the " liberal" present of one guinea. BEAGLES KILLED BY A TRAIN.—A floe brace of beagles, the property of Mr. J. Caffro, was killed on Satur day by the Horsham train, the Whet-green crossing ; the roads being on a level, and the train being ekes at hand, a lad, wham the dogs were following, had the precaution to take a puppy up in his arms, thinking the older ones would take care of themselves, but probably , their attention being drawn away from the approaching danger led to their de struction.—Sussex Express. SINGULAR UPIIEAVING OF PART OF A MEA DOW. The heavy embankment, which, in carrying on the works of the Mid-Sussex. Railway, is forming at the foot of the Arundel causeway hill, for the turnpike-rani traffic over the hoe, has been attended by the singular occurrence of its weight raising bodily up some six or eight feet, part of a meadow near, and five large elm trete. The trees, which, as might be supposed, have lost their equilibrium, are standing at all recta of angles, and will, doubtless, soon be uprooted altogether. —Sussex Express. EXTRAORDINARY EWAN!. —OE Sunday morning, as the ten o'clock fast train on the North Kent line was nearing Frith station on the way to Stroud, the eogine driver maw a boy, of about 12 or 13 years of age, being pur sued by a bull from the adjoining marshes. The boy got on the line, calculating that the animal would not venture on the metals. He judged wrongly, however, for the animal dashed over the fence, and had just reached the down metals, when the noise of the whistle caused it to hesitate for a moment and incline its bead towards the engine, and, at the instant, it was struck on the right shoulder by the near buffer, and the guard-iron in front heviag entered the body, tore it up in a manner that death must have been instantaneous. The engine passed on uninjured, and the boy had been fortunately delivered from his danger. AN UNFORTUNATE ACTREEt —The Nourelliste de Roues announces that Mn,.. Defreysoles, well known as a clever actress, and who was performing at the principal theatre in that place, was on Friday soddenly seized with madness. Shelled played the night before in the Testament de Cesar Gimlet, and was greatly applauded. Some time after her return home, at about two in the morales, she went down stairs,. and, proceeding to the post of the suspension -b ride, asked for me aid, saying that she felt ill. The dicier de sand on service perceived at mos that her mind was wavering, and had her taken home. The unfortunate lady I then barricaded herself in her apartment, and opening the I window spent her time in alternately approaching it and . drawing hack, so that several persons of the neighbourhood who had collected on the news of her madness, were afraid ; she would precipitate herself ou the pavement from the third story. At last, the police being informed of what was going on, ordered a carriage to be brought, and succeeded caryiog her off to a lunatic asylum. Her fixed ides, it appear', was that she was to be poisoned by the emelt of ' flowers, and all her efforts were made to guard against such I I a death, but what determined her sudden attack of mad sem is not known.

Bozorroa or GREENWICH. —Mr. Alderman Salo mon. will address his constituents on Thursday evening, at the Lecture-hall, Greenwich. REPRESENTATION or EAST KLINIT . —ln our last we copied • paragraph from the Canterbury papers to the effect that Mr. Diodes would not stand again as a candi date and that Sir Norton Kuatchbull was prepared with Sir Brook Bridges to contest the division in the conservative iuterest, against Sir E. Dering and Mr. Knatchbull Huges len in the liberal interest. We have it on the best authority that this statement is altogether premature. Mr. Deedes has not intimated his intention to retire, and there is no truth whatever in the statement respecting Sir Norton Knatchbull. There is, however, • general belief in most political circles that two candidates, and probably the two gentlemen abovenamed, will be put forward in the liberal interest, and also that in case of a contest Mr. Deedes would certainly retire. From this, no doubt, has arisen the paragraphs we have alluded to.—Maidstone Journal. THE VICAR.AOII OF LOWESTOFT. —The important and valuable vicarage of Lowestoft, Suffolk, rendered vacant by the resignation of the Rev. F. M. Cunningham, has been conferred by the Hon. and Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Norwich on the Rev. Charles Herbert, late vicar of Buralem, Staffordshire, • strong " Evangelical." THE FERNCH OCCUPATION or ROME.—A public meeting of the working men of Marylebooe was held last evening at the Cleveland Institution, Cleveland-street, ' Fitzroy-square, Mr. Nicholay in the chair, for the purpose of protesting against the French occupation of Rome. The meeting was a very united one. The first resolution was moved by Mr. Washington Willis, declaring that the occu pation of Rime by the Emperor of the French was • viola tion of the principles of non-intervention, and ought to be put an end to. The resolution was seconded by Mr. Mackay, and carried with about half a-dozen diesentienta A second resolution was adopted—" That her Majesty's government be memorialised to use their best influence with the French government to withdraw the French troops from Rome." Mr. Nicholay, in returning thanks for • vote passed to him for presiding, said • movement was going on amongst the ratepayers of Masylebone for a requisition to the vestry to grant the use of the Court-house for a further meeting on the Roman question, and he had no doubt that the vestry would grant the use of the building for that purpose. BISUOPSOATE YOUNG MEN'S Socigry.—The fifth annual session of this association, which was established to afford the young men of London the means of intellectual recreation and improvement after business hours, was com menced, under the presidency of the Rev. J. Sidney, M.A., , on Saturday evening, with a lecture, exhibiting considerable talent and great research, by Mr. J. Simpson, of Edgware, on " Marriage Customs and Ceremonies." The lecture hall was filled to overflowing, and the audience were highly pleased. Altogether the commencement was • perfect success. NATIONAL TEMPERANCE LEAGUE.—On Sunday hat 47 sermons were preached in connexion with this asap. elation ; nine in London, three at Manchester, and the re. mninder at Gloucester, Bristol, Swansea , Cardi ff , Chester, Worcester, Bandar', Walsall, Newcastle-on-Tyne, South Shields. Spalding, Louth, Peterborough, Bedford, Luton, St. Albans, and nineteen other places. Fifteen of the preachers were churchmen, sixteen baptists - nine indepen dents, four methodists, ancithree_preSbyterians THE END OF THE LONG VACATION.-011 Friday next the long vacation will terminate, when the several common law offices will resume bindings in preparation for the coming Michaelmas Term, commencing on the 2nd, or rather Monday, the 3rd proximo. The Chancery emotion will not end for some days later. But for the Judges' Chambers sitting two days in each week there would have scarcely been any indication of life in the legal profession. Proceeding,' in actions have slumbered for some time, but arrangements meat be made before the 24th instant, or parties will be entitled to costs for declarations, and after so long a rest attorneys are not inclined to forego their privi leges. The arrears in Chancery and in the common law courts are not considerable. _ . -------- PATENTS AND PATZNTEn.—It is not long 1111100 • number of men, more or less prominent, were declaim ing against patents and urging their entire abolition. In yentas, we were told, were not entitled to monopolies, and really needed no protection. " Sweep away the patent laws,' said Sir William Armstrong and him disciples, and the prestige of successful invention will sufficiently reward the inventor." It is not exactly shown how an investor was to realise a fortune from an unprotected invention, nor was it, indeed, shown in what " prestige" really consisted. Sir William rid in substance if not in so many words, " Look at me ; I am an inventor ; I have succeeded with. out protection." But be was not an inventor, and his success has come rather through fortune and worldly wisdom than through the recognition and appre ciation of his merits by the public at large. The No odled Armstrong gun in no more his invention than it is that of Lord Dundreary, and it is now more than question. able whether, if Sir William had really invented it, it could do him soy great credit. There were circumstances which plowed him in a goad position with the late Sir Benjamin Hawes, sod a premature knightlood and a fat contract are the results. Sir William has no right to speak for inven tors. He is not of them, albeit he has shown great aptitude in assimilating inventions, and respeztable mechanical skill in working them into shape. Even the many failures of the Bhiwick and Woolwich guns do not disentitle Sir Wil liam to the rank of a first-class mechanical engineer, but an inventor he is not, and, indeed, his famous attack upon the rights of inventors was inconsistent with any notion to the contrary.—/Nrinivr.

SHARE LISTS-(THIS DAY.) Two &Oxon. In the absence of business the railway market remains quiet, with few variations in prices. As re gards the principal stocks, the only alteration worthy of notice is a rise of per cent. in South Eastern. London and North Western stock is now quoted 924 to 1; Great Western, 67 to ; Midland, 1284 to ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 1084 to 1; Caledonian, 1114 to f ; South Eastern, 84 to f ; Great Eastern, 46 to ; Great Northern, 123 to 124 ; and London and South Western, 99* to 100.

The stock marketa to-day are very quiet and inactive, and the alteration in prices is of little importance. The English funds have not varied from yesterday's quotations. The firmness of the Paris Bonnie continues to form an encouraging feature. English railway stocks are perfectly unaltered. With the exception of a slight improvement in Turkish secu rities, foreign stocks are unmarked by any move ment of striking interest. At Paris this morning, according to Kr. Reutees telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 71fr. 45c., showing a rise of t per cent. since yes terday. _ _ _ Consols are now quoted 931 to ; both for money and the 6th of November. The official business report is as follows :-Thres per Cent. Consols, for money, 931, 4, ; ; ditto for account, 931, ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 921, 92 ; New Tbree per Cents., 91/, 92 ; Bank Stoek, 236 ; India Five per Cent. stock, 109 ft, 1, ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1863, 1011 ; ditto Bonds, 325. prem. ; Four per Cent. " enfaced " rupee paper, 94 ; ditto Five-and-a-Half per Cent., 112/ ; Exchequer Bills, June, 205., 235. prem. ; ditto March, 215., 18e. prem.

Of the 260,0001. in gold by the Scotia, from New York, a portion, consisting of sovereigns, has been sent into the Bank of England, and the residue taken for the continent, principally to pay for silver. The remittances of silver to Bombay by the outward steamer of the 27th inst. will be heavy, and as the supplies in the market are not sufficient, recourse is necessarily bad to the continent.
