REPLY TO THE ASPERSION ON MR. ROE BUCK AT SHEFFIELD. A very large meeting was held in the Guildhall, Bath, yesterday, to take into consideration the possibility and necessity of reducing the present enormous expenditure of the country, end the substitution of en equitable system of direct taxed= for the present mode of raising the rev*. nu by taxes upon the necessaries of life, the. Admiral GORDON took the chair, and in the course of his remarks in opening the business of the meeting, ex plained that the immediate object of the present meeting was to oonsidor the possibiity of redwing the present expen diture of the country, and plaang their system of taxation upon a more equitable footing. The present system of taxa tion was unjust in principle, and oppressive in operation; and the enormous expenditure of the country was unscrupu lous and wasteful. It was to show that this had been the case for many years, sad to petition parliament to relieve the intolerable barthen, that they had then met. He would content kimsrlf by leaving the further discussion of the (motion in the hands of the many able speakers who were to follow. The Rev. T. SPENCER rose, amidst loud cheers, to pro pose the first resolution : That lathe aphelia of this meeting, the alarming amount of path =misim% awl dlimatent, in the country must be largely and. le Mitaammene taxation inflicted upon the people —a taxa tion realm by an minion' than that of 1833, and that this taxation ought to le illitimritn reduced. The rev. speaker, at considerable length, entered into particulars showing the large amount of our expenditure and its unjust bearing on the industrious claws, and sat down amidst continued cheers. Mr. G. EDWARDS seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously.

A Kremer calumny was never heaped on man than that on Mr. Roebuck by Mr. Waddy. The learned speaker was enthusiastically cheered. Mr. T. BOLWELL seconded the resolution.—Carried unanimously.

MONDAT. . The Craven—once a very popular race, bat new, like the Riddlesworth and many other old-fashioned stakes, feat going out of repute—did not fill, and two other rams having gone off in forkits, the list was " deprived of its fair propor tions," its events detindliag down to six in number, of which Emolade's race alone was calculated to excite any interest beyond the moment,. Owing to this falling off and the wretched state of the weather, the heath was vary thinly attended, speculation was on a limited scale, and there was altogether a lack of that. animation that might fairly have been expected to distinguish the opening of the campaign at Newmarket. The result of Escalade's race had the imme diate effect of sending Nunnykirk to 10 to I, Vanguard to 1,000 to 45, and of bringing the Firefly colt into the betting at 1,000 to 30 and 30 to I. Of the transactions on future' events we may dispose in a few words. The only bets laid this morning were 10 to 8 eget Fernhill, and 8 to 1 each aget Hornpipe and Tisiphone for the Newmarket Handicap ; to 4 eget Loupgarou for the Sensersetahire Stakes; and 1,000 to 25 art Indus for the Derby.

The magistrate observed that she might have met with her death owing to the refined in the first instance to receive her. TRAMIEL—ammo AND WOIINDING AT fins.—H. Hamer, muter, and L. Wilson, chief pilau of the schooner Seabird, were Mistily examined on the charge of tatting and wounding a man of colour, named John Hughes (one of the seamen belonging to that vessel, who, sines the case was first beim the court, on the 20th of January last, has been con fined on board the Dreadnought hospital-ship in a very dan gerous state. When he first appeared to give evidence, though suffering under several severe wounds, be was • fine athletic fellow ; but, yesterday, when supported into court, ho was a complete skeleton. The complainant, who stated himself to be a native of New Orleans, said be joined the &sable as able mamas, in the Gambia. On the Ilth last , the vessel being then at sea, the mate came to his berth at 12 o'clock and ordered him en deck. Com *hunt, :who had been worn out by ten hours' bard labour, and whme dodos were wringing wet, said, " Very well, sir ; I am genies way." The mate at once exclaimed, " I'll wait nolesuper," mailman to cut at him with a endue. The pain et his wounds sink him jump up, and he ran on deck, the mete pursuing him with the cutlass. Complainant held for awhile by the galley-door, and then crept into the galley, but was Immediately followed by the mate, ae oompankd by the captain. The latter wiled him by the hair of has bead and kicked him, while the mate conti nued to cut at bin with the sabre, wounding him in several places. He was then sent to work at the pump, when he continued for ten minutes; but being faint from loss of blood, he returned to the hrecutle. The mete again followed him there ; but seeing how he was bleeding, said, " Go to bed ; I won't hurtle's any more." When the ousel arrived at St. Intherise Ded4 complainant proposed to go ashore, but the mans istused le remit hint, and he was not at liberty to make Ids amplahat till the constable Fraser came on board. In his mesa examination by Mr. Pelham ( who appeared he the priessers), the complainant admitted that he was in rrazt Rambla, but not kr attempting to " gouge " a captain. He had never threatened Captain Hamer with a knife. On ens occasion, whilst he was using a knife below, Captain Hamer j umped down with a cutlass, and cried est, " I have a bigger knife than you." He never threat- ened the captain or mate. He was too much afraid of them fee that. He had no knife in his hand on the night when he was stabbed with the maths.. There was a heavy gale, but be bad worked very bud that day. Framer, 73 Thames, stated that he bearded the vessel about five o'clock on the Friday evening in consequence of hearing that a man bad been wounded on board. He saw Hughes is a bad state, but the master was not then present The other prisoner, Wilson, was on board, and when charged with wounding the man be admitted having done so, and said it was because he had refused to do duty when the ship was sinking. The mate said he kept Hughes on board by the captain's directions, but witness at once took him on shore to the divisional surgeon, Mr. Ross, of Shadwell, who is apected and dressed the wounds. Mr. Rose said Hughes was brought to his surgery en the 19th of January, suffering from several wounds in various parts of the body, one of them, a very dangerous wound over the outer part of the left elbow, and about two inches' in ex- tent. A heavy pointed cattail was here produced, and, in answer to the magistrate , Mr. Rousaid it would be es'eulated to inflict such wounds. Mr. Pelham said he would reserve his defence, as his wor ship seemed reeolved to mend the case for trial, and none of the men who formed the crew would now be brought for ward.

Mr. Hudson : I had no interest whatever, either directly or indirectly, nor did I gain one shilling by the purchase. Mr. Clayton : With respect to the sale of shares by you, Mr. Hudson, to the c mpauy, did it that there was an impropriety in your taking a part in fixing the price at which those shares should be purchased? Mr. Hudson : No, nor do I think so still, provided I had fixed a price at which it was advantageous for the company to purchase at ; I considered it nothing more than the dis counting of the company's bill, which must be paid in July, 1650 Although I feel that I was justified In the course that I took, yet, before the statement of accounts was made up of the Great North of England purchase, it did occur to me that it was possible that some objections might be taken to the sale, and, although not then conscious of any mistake, I stated my intention to Mr. Close to have the accounts made out at the prima the shares actually cost me, as near as he could ascertain ' • but some few days after, upon a careful consideration of all the liabilities which I was under of a personal nature for the e mpany, having an action pending of 5,0001.. and also having advanced 16,5001. for West Durham shares, both of which liabilities, so far as they exist, I came under solely and entirely for the benefit of the com pany, I felt, that in Justice to my own protection I ought not to give up that which I believed fairly beloeged to me, but I believe when the mistake is corrected !shall not be a gainer of 1,000/. on the whole transaction. Mr. Prance: Are you not aware that the 85th clause of " The Companies Clauses Consolidation Act" specially enacts, that 'No person holding an o ffi ce or place of trust or profit under the company or interested in any contest* with the company shall be capable of being a director, end no director be capable of being interested in any contract with the company during the time he shall be a director "? Mr. Hudson: I think in this case, the set ef parliament compelling the company to become purchasers, I had no recourse than eventfully to sell to them, as in the case of a railway having power to take a director's land, the sale Is compulsory in both cases. Mr. Love: But therein the peculirrity in this transaction, that you purchased these shams after the wait g of the Great North of England Act, requiring the sale of them to the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Company, on or before J oly, 1850. Why, therefore, did you not purchase them in the first instance for that company, of which you were chair man, Mats ad et for yourself ? Mr. Hudson : I had no authority at that time tl purchase them. Mr. Love: Can yet put in any evidence of the cost to you of the sham you sold to the company ? Mr. Hudson : I cannot do so at present, but will endeavour to do so before the committee closes. Mr. Prance: In connexion with the question I last ad dressed to you, is not clause 85 of the Railway Clauses Con solidation Act also in harmony with the general principle of English law, that no trustee shall deal fur his own benefit with the property of his cestseipue trust, and also with the general law of broker and principal? Mr. Hudson • I em not a lawyer, but your question does not in my mind apply, as I am not only a trustee, but also ss a large shareholder in the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Company, one of the eesteisgue trust, and, therefore, act ia both capacities; end the act leaves me no option bat compels me to act in both. MONDAY, MARCY 12, 1849. itemisation resumed. (Sundry accounts en. hibited.) Mr. Love : Are these the accounts current of certain trine actions with Mr. Allhusen ? Mr. Close: Yes. Mr. Love: Do they contain full particular of the entire sale, by Mr. Allhusen, to the company ? Mr. Close: Yes; I believe they do. Mr. Love : And do they contain particulars of all pay ments to Mr. Allhusen ? Mr. Close: They do not contain a payment of 2,0001. made on the bth of May. 1847; one of 1,0001. made on the 18th of May ; one of 8501. made on the 21st of May ; one of 1691. 10s. made on the 31st of May. Mr. Love: Have you Mr. Allhuien's receipts for then four items? Mr. Close: Yes; I produce them. Mr. Love : Have you any contracts of sale from Mr. All husen to the esmpany. Mr. Close : I am not aware of any ; but I will look through the correspondence with Mr. Album. Mr. Prance : Have you received any reply to your letter to Messrs. Laurence, Cazoncve, and Co., sek;ng for dupli cates of the original ca/insets? Mr. Close: I have not. I , lr. Love : Would you be so good as to inform tbis com mittee whether the payments alleged to be paid to C. All huwn of 6,0001., June Bth, 1848, and of 2,5001., 11th March, 1848, Sr. entered in the ledger of the Great North of England Purchase? Mr. Close : Yes ; in pagee 26 and 26 in the ledger. TUESDAY, MARCH 13. Mr. George Hudson's reexamination resumed. Mr. Prance : In our examination yesterday of the account of Mr. C. Sattertbwalte, a letter from him was presented to us, stating that the amount that he received for 2.50 Greet North of England 301. shares was 16,6001., viz., for the , shares 16,5001., and 1001. for stamps ; whilst the bos of the company describe the transaction thus : s. 250 301. shares Stamps lOO 0 Commission lOO 0 Mr. Close's £16,662 10 pan Cu ? you explain to the committee this apparent discre cy Mr. Hudson: I bought of Mr. Satterthwaite 250 shares at 6W per share; he brought them to my louse at Albert-gate; I gave him my own cheque on Glyn and Co. for the money ; and I am almost as unable to account for the mistake as Mx. Clam The only probable solution of the meter I can give is, that I recollect that, at about that time, having requested him, Mr. Close, to pay 1001. to my amount, on account et travelling expenses. I find. from a search of the books, that I have not, for the last fifteen or sixteen months, received eau sixpence on that account from the company; so that, in point of tact, the mistake is 371. 10s. against me. There was un doubter4 no comm;ssion paid. Mr. Close's examination resumed. Mr. Love: Who gave you authority is nay the nut of 16,6821. 10e. on the sth of April last to Mr. Hudson, and on what account was that sum paid / Mr. Close : I took my directions from Mr. Hudson, and gave s cheque of the directors for the amount. It was paid to Mr. Hudson's private account at the York Union Bank— viz , 16,6621. 10.1. on the 6th of April, and 1001. on the 12th of May. I understood it to be for Mr. Satterthweite's shares. Mr. Love : Are you aware that Mr. Hudson purchased these shares when in London, and ;slid for them there; and, if so, ars you certain that the order to pay the sum of 16,6621. 10i. was given verbally or by letter? Mr. Close: Mr. Hudson gave me orders verbally, I am certain of that. Mr. Love: And did yon In accordant. with such orders so enter the pnrchsse in the books of the company' Mr. Close: Yes ; it was on such verbal order that I did so enter it. Mr. Prance: Proluce to this committee all the correspon dence between you and Mr. Satterthwaite on this subject. Mr. Clots: I produce copies of my letters to Mr. Satter tkwaite, sad his original letters in reply thereto. The following is a copy of the correspondenee thus ex hibited : " Feb. 24, 1840. Sir,—Mr. Hodson purchased through you 260 Great North of England 301. shares In March last or in April; may I trouble you to mod me a sale note, and also a receipt for the amount of purchase ; it becomes necessary to have formal receipts for the committee which are about to investi gate this account next week. " I am, sir, your °Wiest servant, (Signed) " Joitx Ciosn." " To C. Satterthwaite, E.q., 38, Thrntronertnn-afrort Elatisawaite's reply : "Landon, Feb. 26, 1849. " Sir,—Youn to hand, I did not make the uouel motes of isle as in the este where I obtained a eomedision, bevies. I treated Kr. Radom merely as a dealer in the tomasetios. RAILWAY NEws. MONDAY ETENINO. The appearance of the report of the committee of investigation of the York, Newcastle, sad Berwick Railway Company, and its discussion in the Stock Exchange, has largely engrossed the attention of the denial' to-day. We regret to say there is but one opinion on the subject on the Stock Exchange, viz., that the report is quite condemnatory of Mr. Hudsm, and reflects great discredit upon his colleagues for their negligence in the direction of the affairs of that in The want of confidence which this has again en gendered, together with the fall in Console, has de pressed the price of shares in general, but more par ticularly those with which Mr. Hudson is connected. York and North Midlands fell 21. per share ; York, Newcastle, and Berwicks, 20e. to 30e. per share; Mid lands, IL per share; with a very general dulness over the market MAZE LlBT.—Lontoi, APRIL 9.
