Dr. Soinks, v.('., and Mr. Inderwick, for the plaintiffs ; rr R. ('ollirr, Q.C., and Dr. Tristram, for the defendant. The defendant propounded the substance of the will of l'rineis James, late of Penzance, a retired master of a :,.-rehaut vessel, who died in July, 18601, at the age of 75. e plainti(l , 4 pleaded that the will had not been duly i‘ecuted, that the alleged substance of the document was •• its real contents, and that it had been revoked. The deieudmit (the executrix and principal legatee), in reply, ..reneJ that if it had been revoked the testator was not of 1..,;(n.1 mind when the act was done. ..... The te,tator had begun life as a common sailor ; but be F .,,. hs frionled by Mr. Richards, a brewer and merchant at Penzance, who appointed him the master of one of his sviet.. In this capacity he continued for 20 years, and in it he ..ssed some hundreds of pounds. At length he re tin,sl upon his savings. Mr. Richards took him for a 4101 t time into his brewery, but eventually the te.tator married Mr. Richardis illegitimate daugh te-.

After his death it was given out that he had died intestate ; but rumours afterwards got :,:last that there hail been a will, and that it had been de stroye 1 while he lay dying of paralysis. This led to in quiries. and then it was explained that the plaintiff had Atka! his brother if he had madc his will. The testatormade signs that he bad.

The will was then brought, and, ait was alleged, he four times rased hi. hand as an affirmative sign to the question whether it should be cancelled. The will wan then destroyed, and under these circumstances the case came !adorn the court. (The cue is likely to last all day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Harlin.) IN RR mu, FILM, AND CRAMITON. . . The bankrupts, Sir Samuel Morton Teto, Bart, 31. P., Edward Betts, and Thomas Russell Crampton, were de scribed as contractors for the construction of public works, and builders, carrying on busineu at Great George-street, Westminster. The adjudication was made on the 3rd inst. upon the petition of Messrs. Warden and Sons, of the Railway Iron Works, Edgbaston-street, Birmingham, and the fir,t meeting for proof of debts and choice of assignees I ra. now held. The court was crowded. Mr. Ernest Reed, Mr. R. Griffiths, Mr. Maynard, Mr. John Linklater, Mr. Lowrance, Mr. Kearsey, Mr. Brandon, Mr. Clark, and Mr. Chidley, appeared on behalf of the creditors and parties interested. Mr. Linklater, who represented the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, said he tendered a claim for 6,661,914/. against the bankrupts' estate. (Laughter.) Mr. Linklater said he observed that the figures caused a smile, but the circumstances under which the claim arose were not of a nature to call for laughter. The object of the company was to place their claim in course of judicial inquiry, which they were quite entitled to do. He wished to state, in justice to the share and debenture holders, and the public, that the company intended to prosecute the claim now made to the uttermost. It was due to the bankrupt, to state that they disputed the claim, and alleged that the sum of 343,0001. was due to them from the company, but those conflicting claims could be adjusted after assignees had been ap pointed. He would suggest the desirability of appointing assignees without delay, as interests of great magnitude were involved, and the creditors might be prejudiced if the sitting were adjourned. He proposed that the Chatham and Dover Railway Company should be allowed to enter a claim upon the proceedings, upon the understanding that it should form the subject of future consideration. Mr. Lawrence said that as representing Sir Morton Peto and Mr. Betts be agreed with his friend Mr. Linklater that it was very desirable assignees should be appointed without delay, in order that the interests of all parties might be properly represented, but he objected to a claim being placed upon the proceedings on behalf of the Lon don, Chatham, and Dover Railway. Mr. Linklater—l must object - to Mr. Lowrance being beard. Mr. Lawrence—Then I object to your objection. (A laugh.) I submit that where a claim of this nature is made against the estate the bankrupts, if they dispute it, hare a right to object to its being placed upon the pro• seeding,. Kr. Reed, on behalf of creditors who had proved also, objected to the reception of the claim in any other form than as a statement, as the rights of the creditors ought sot in any way to be prejudiced. He said he could not understand upon what ground Mr. Linklater's suggestion with regard to the choice of assignees could have any weight, as be did not yet possess any locus standi, and it wu most important that independent assignees should be appointed, as interests of vast magnitude would be com mitted to their care. Mr. Linklater said he must decline to receive back the claim after it had been tendered in proper form, and, if necessary, he was prepared to establish it by evidence, but be did not wish to take that course unless compelled. Mr. Maynard remarked that the reception of the claim would seriously affect the position of the creditors in the matter of dividend. After some further discussion the claim was entered Upon the proceedings, ► note that it was disputed being entered in the margin. A number of proofs were then tendered and discsured, and in answer to Mr. Kearny, Mr. Maynard said it was proposed toappoint as assignees the three inspectors under the deed, namely, Messrs. Bishop, Fothergill, and Rolt. Sir Morton Peto was then examined as to certain bills of exchange which bad been accepted in the names of Pete, Betts, and Co. and Peto, Betts, and Cramp. too. He said that the firm of Peto, Betts, and Crampton tame into existence in Ified, and was formed for the purpose of curling on the works of the Chatham and Dover Rail. way Company and other contracts. The firm of Peto and Betts had been previously established for about 18 years. All the liabilities in connexion with the Chatham and Dover Railway to the amount of about two millions had been incurred by Pete, Betts, and Crampton. The liabi lities of the firm of I'eto and Betts would amount to at least 500,000/. In answer to the Registrar, Mr. Reed said the object of the examination wee to ascertain whether certain of the claims which had been made against the firm of Pet*, Betts, and Crampton, whose estate alone was being administered in the court, ought to be admitted. The Registrar maid it would be more convenient for all the disputed claims to stand over for discussion before the eceamissioner, and that course was assented to. In answer to further questions sir Morton Peto stated that Mr. Christie, the cashier of the firm, had the manage. went of the financial departments. Messrs. Baring Brothers, who tendered a proof for 16 .0n0f., held securities in the shape of bills of exchange. Several other proofs were under discussion when our 'nod left. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Payne, Deputy Assistant Judge.) J CRT AND COCNBEL. C e'rfr BrArn, 40, seaman, was indicted for attempting to stab Janie* Grant. kibton and Mr. Ingham prosecuted, and Mr. Mon tap Williams defended the prisoner. From the evidence of numerous witnesses it was elicited that the prisoner, in company with a seaman named Moran, tot.red the King'sArnos S badwell , and asked Mr. Grant, E.° landlord. to lend him half a sovereign. The landlord o fused, and the prisoner and Moran left, uttering threats. T 1 then intuited some poor women outside, and on remonstrated with they smashed several persons, and finally a knife was drawn, and the prisoner was eeen to attempt to strike Grant whilst the knife was in his h and. The police came, and Moran was taken into custody. Th. prisoner followed him to the station, and was also ni,en. This was on the sth of July. The jnry, without waiting to bear the counsel finish his roPle, turned round in the box and began to consider their venliet. This occasioned considerable surprise, and Mr. M. Williams said, in order to save time, if the jury re tonrl a verdict for a common assault, he would not address them. The jury consulted for some time longer, during which mosidendile impatience was shown by the counsel, and the judge suggested that the case should go on in the noel manner ; as the consultation continued for some time the judge explained the difference between a common lk. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 24, 1867. assault and an assault with intent to do grevious bodily harm• After some further consideration, during which the words •qualify it" wars heard from some members of the jury, the foreman was asked if the jury had con sidered their verdict. Foreman—Yen, we find him guilty of en aggravated assault. Williams -Then, gentlemen, I must address you. I will not accept that verdict. I have been betrayed in this case, the same as I always am in this court. The jury again consulted, and finally agreed to find him Geifts on certain counts in the indictment, which were equivalent to common assaults on four different persons. Thomas Moran was then indicted for assaulting and beating Dennis White, and also with attempting to stab John Healey. Mr. Itibton again prosecuted. The jury acquitted the prisoner, as it appeared that he was first assaulted by White, although whilst attempting to strike White's father. Brown was then called up for judgment, and the judge laid that he had committed four separate and serious assaults, besides attempting to use the knife, bad he suc ceeded in which he would have been sentenced to penal servitude. The sentence of the court was that he should receive three months' imprisonment for each assault, making in all 12 months' imprisonment. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) GUILDHALL . 14ERIOUH . AHAAULT BY A CHILD. Sown Ca/nu, • child only 12 years of age, was placed at the bar before Alderman Cotton, charged with wounding • married woman named Men Connor by striking her on the head with a chopper, and inflicting grievous bodily harm. Mr. Ring appeared for the defendant. Kra. Connor, who appeared in • very weak condition from the effects of the wound, and whose head was enve loped in surgical bandages, mid that she lived at No. fi, Apollo-court, Fleet-street, and that the defendant lived at No. 5. There had been some disturbance in the court, and she went to bring in her little girl, when she saw the defendant about to strike her child with a chopper ; she pulled her child away, and received the blow on her own head which was meant for her little girl. She immediately lost her senses, and was at once taken to the hospital. The witness was in so weak a condition that Mr. Ring was unable to put her under a cross-examination, and Alderman Cotton ordered her to be taken immediately in a cab to the hospital. Two other witnesses were examined, from whose evi dence it appeared that the defendant was chopping wood at her own door, and standing by her side were two more girls. Iles. Connor's child, came up the court and the two girls urged the defendant to beat her; the child ran into No. 2 for protection and was followed by the defendant and the other girls. The defendant threw wood at the complainant's child, and she threw back sand, which she had in her apron, at them. Mrs. Connor, finding the position her child was in, ran down to protect her, and when she got into the passage of No. 2, the defendant threw the chopper at her, and in dicted the injury of which she complained. The witnesses were cross-examined at considerable length, and some discrepancy appeared in the details of their evidence, at the conclusion of which the case was adjourned, and on the application of Mr. Ring the defen dant was admitted to bail on the father's recogniaances for her to appear. WORSHIP-STREET. PORSIMONO BAD /Id CAT. —OOlll ITTAL TO PRI RON. Charles Geary , a licensed slaughterman, carrying on business in Essex -street, Whitechapel, answered a 111111111101111 preferred against him by the sanitary autho rity of that parish for having in hi possession, and for the purpose of dressing for human foal for male, a cer tain quantity of meat, namely beef, the same being unfit for consumption. The prosecution was conducted under theNnisanoesße moral Act amended for 1865, whereby a penalty is em powered not exceeding 20/., or at the discretion of the magistrate an imprisonment of three month. without the option of any fine. Mr. John Burroughs stated that on the 15th inst. he saw the defendant on the premises mentioned dress ing • bullock. There was an abscess on the hind part of the animal, and matter was pouring from it. The horns of the animal had been just cut off, and cor ruption was flowing from those parts also. He pointed all this out to defendant, who replied, " I shall dress it ; it is good and sound, and belongs to Mr. Raymond, of WhiteobapeL" He refused to let witness remove it, it was therefore seized, brought to this court and condemned by Mr. Ellison, the magistrate, and the present process obtained against the slaughterer. Dr. Thomas Barris., the district surgeon, deposed to having seen the meet in question ; it was totally unfit for human food, and bad been since destroyed. Mr. Hopwood, &butcher in Newgate-market, called for the defence, must have somewhat disappointed that side, as he declared that he knew nothing whatever of the beast; and George Raymond declared that the animal h e h a d driven was quite sound and could walk. The authorities begged the magistrate to send the de fendant to prison. He bad been three times convicted in penalties of RW. and Si;. and they were always ready, moreover they always woul d be, for he (defendant) did not sully funds. ti indignantly and at length remarked on this and much offences—a beast one mass of corruption, being dressed for the food of man. Not any fine would be inflicted, but instead an imprisonment of three months. Defendant was astonished. WESTMINSTER. TAM IMPARTIAL ADMINISTRATION . 01 , JCIITTCZ. ... Inspector Horton, of the B division, stated to the magistrate that Julia Grantham, of 4s, Taohbrook-street, was charged on the Brampton pollee-sheet with being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself. She was subsequently bailed ; but was not now present, it being stated that illness prevented her attendance, which Mr. Dickenson, a medical gentleman, was now present to prove. Dr. Dickenson said he had just left her, and she cer tainly was not in a fit state to attend before the magistrate. Mr. Arnold—What is she? Dr. Dickenson—She is a lady. Mr. Arnold—A real lady, or — A gentleman who accompanied Dr. Dickenson—She is really a real lady, and cannot attend, as stated. Mr. Arnold—As she is really a real l►dy I must see her here. I can't let a person off who is drunk and incapable because she has the good fortune to be a real lady. She must appear here the same as any person of low degree. Inspector Horton—She was brought to the station by a cabman who did not know what to do with her. He had taken her up at the Victoria railway to drive her to Bramp ton when be found her lying at the bottom of the cab. Mr. Arnold—Had you any doubt of her condition when you saw her ? Inspector Horton—Not the least. Mr. Arnold—Was she drunk ? Inspector Horton—Clearly drunk and incapable of taking care of herself. Mr. Arnold—There is no reason because this woman is in a better condition of life that she should not attend here like any other person. I shall extend the recog nisancesuntil she is able to attend. Extended formally till Tuesday. The Manchester Guardian states that Mr. Mit chell, who was for many years the proprietor of the Ship ping Gauttc, and has identified himself actively in several important public enterprises connected with the mercan tile marine, is about to receive the honour of knighthood, " as a recognition by the government of his benevolent and intelligent activity as a friend of the seafaring classes." A curious report was made by the Mayor of Man chester to the General Purposes Committee yesterday. It appears that the Belgians who are visiting that city narrowly essaped finding themselves in Manchester with out anybody to welcome them on the part of the munici pality. The mayor was ill in bed, the town clerk was in London, and it was only in consequence of two members of the local committee calling at the town-hall on Monday morning that a dinner was hastily prepared for the visi tors who were then on their way hither. The mayor complains that the committee gave him no notice of the expected arrival of the Belgians. A general meeting of the schoolmasters of the Austrian empire is to be held at Vienna on Sept. 6. The first question it will have to study is the following :—" Is primary instruction in Austria what it ought to be ; and if not, what are the measures that should be taken to reor ganise it?" Madame Ristori itas left Paris, where she has been studying the r6le of Marie• Antoinette. Two days past she visited the chapel and the cell in the Concierzerie where the ill-fated Austrian lady was immured. We read in Gatignani :—"Blondin has been com pelled to break his engagement at Asnieres from causes not very creditable to his rivals. On closely inspecting his rope the other day, he discovered that it had been sawn asunder, so that one fibre only remained, which his weight would have broken. But for the timely discovery this diabolical attempt would have succeeded." Since 1836 there have been established through out the world 160,000 miles of telegraph lines, comprising 400,000 miles of wire, and working through 14,000 stations. The total length of submarine cables laid is 19,923 miles. It is a curious fact, says an Australian paper, that all the fighting nations of ancient times have died out or fallen into remarkable desuetude. They seem to have been consumed by their fierce internal passions. Some of the most fertile parts of Honduras are filling up with emigrants from the southern states, who are purchasing lands and engaging in the cultivation of the sugar-cane. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock. The Lord Mayor of Dublin appeared at the bar in his official costume, and handed in a petition from the Dor ponition of Dublin, praying the house to take into con sideration the wants of the Roman catholic population of Ireland in respect to collegiate and university education.

The stock markets are again dull, with a farther relapse in prices, as well in the funds as in railw.iy stocks and some other securities. The accounts of the state of the crops from all parts of the country are favourable, and there is no confirmation of the warlike rumours that me prevailing on the Conti nent, except such as are as indefinite and unsup ported as the rumours themselves. A certain sense of uneasiness has, however, been created by them which has led many persons not only to close their accounts, but to reverse their operations by selling instead of buying. No great importance is, how ever, to be attached to the speculative operations of the morning. The discount market is unaltered. The terms in Lombard-street remain at 11 to 2 per cent, for the best bills, while at the Bank this morning business is simply wit. Advances on the Stock Exchange are quoted at 11 per cent.

The first ordinary general meeting of the share holders of the New City Club Company (Limited), was held to-day at the Club House, George-yard, Lombard-street. The directors, in their report, congratulate tho members on the successful working of the club since its opening on the Ist June, 1866, and the unprecedented position it had attained in so short a period. The report was unanimously adopted, after which the meeting was made special, and a resolution was passed authorising the ap pointment of a committee of 20 members to assist the directors in the management of the general concerns of the club. In quarters where the true muses of the evils now besetting railway finance are rightly appre ciated much satisfaction is expressed at the an nouncement that the committee of the House of Lords have decided against the principle of creating railway pre-preference stock. This decision may at least be accounted as one benefit arising from the present collapse of this great interest. Had the pre-preference principle been sanctioned by the legislature all confidence in railway property would have been at an end. For example, how would bankers have been justified in lending money even upon specially secured railway stock, when they could have no confidence that its privileges would not be overridden by a subsequent creation 1 An act conferring the power of overriding existing mortgages upon land would scarcely have been a more outrageous proceeding, and would certainly not have involved a greater degree of self-stulti6• cation on the part of the legislature. Railway proprietors of all classes may therefore be congra tulated upon yesterday's decision of the Lords com mittee, because it is essentially a conservative one, and is calculated, while interfering with the rights of no class of investors, to donne the relative posi tions of all. Holders will now be consoled with the assurance that if, through mismanagement, their property should unfortunately be plunged into difficulty, parliament will not make the confusion worse confounded by sanction ing confiscation of previously acquired rights. To say truth, however, a belief has all along prevailed that these pre-preference proposals would be rejected, and to this conviction is doubt less to be attributed in no small degree the per sistent unwillingness of the public to sell railway stocks, in spite of the numerous instances of mismanagement and jobbery which have been pre sented on every side. The jobbing element must be eliminated from railway boards, and a better system of management must be substituted. All this will come in time, though perhaps not until after much loss and suffering. The amount of gold bought by the Bank yester day was 29,0001. The Transatlantic Company's steamer Ville de Paris, from New York, arrived yesterday at Brest with 204 passengers and 637,000 dole. in specie. The directors of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company have announced a dividend at the rate of 1 per cent. annum against 2 per cent. per annum for the corresponding period of 1866. The balance brought into the account is 12,9001., and the amount carried forward 3,0001. The Metropolitan Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 4611. over the correspond ing period of last year, an I the Brighton an increase of 4,6681. The annual general meeting of the shareholders of the New Zealand Trust and Loan Company (Limited) was held yesterday. The accounts showed that the balance remaining at the disposal of the directors was 5,7841. lis. 7d., out of which 5,000/. was appropriated to the payment of a dividend for the half-year of ss. per share, equal to 10 per cent per annum, and the remainder, 7841. 17s. 7d., was carried forward to next account. The report was unanimously adopted, and the retiring directors and auditors were re-elected. At a meeting of shareholders in the Socite• Financibred'Egypte, held yesterday in London, the report, already agreed to at the meeting of Paris shareholders on the 29th of June, was adopted. The following is the report of the directors of the City Discount Company (Limited), to be pre sented at the general meeting on the lit August : The directors are happy to be able again to report the satisfactory progress of the company, and they bare much pleasure in laying before the shareholders a statement of the company's affairs, in the annexed balance-sheet, made up to the 30th June last, and duly audited. The direc tors recommend that , out of the balance of 4,14.'40.11e. Sd., a sum of 5001. be written off preliminary expenses ; a divi dend of 10 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, or 3s. a share, be declared, and the balance, amounting to 1,4961.165. Sd., be mulled forward to the next account. The traffic receipts on the Atlantic and Great Western Railway for the last week in June were 92,504 dots., against 111,762 dols. in the corresponding period last year, showing a decrease of 19,258 dols.

Business, as well as prices, in the mining share market is little more than nominal, and, as usual under such circumstances, the tendency is down wards. No variations of importance have, how ever, been established. Beyond a statement of this condition there is nothing to report.

It was mentioned in the Express of yestertiab that the committee of the Mining Exchange had ordered the shares of the Roasa Grande Mining Company to be quoted in the official list. The statement should have been that the committee of the Stock Exchange had ordered the shares to be so quoted. The Mining Exchange do not issue an official list. [For today's Shale List see page 4.1 NEW MEMBER. JACKSON took the oaths and his seat as member for Coventry. The hon. member was introduced by his father and Mr. Clive. TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN. The adjourned debate on the motion of Mr. Fawcett (18th June) "that in the opinion of this house it is unde sirable that the fellowships and foundation scholarships of Trinity College, Dublin, should be exclusively appropriated to those who are members of the established church" was renamed by Mr. BRUCE who said his objection to the motion of the bon. member for Brighton was that it would give offence to a considerable portion of the people of Ireland. one of the principal objects in view when Trinity College was founded was the proselytism of the Roman catholic.. That object had failed. What they had now to consider was how they could best extend the benefits of collegiate education to the people of Ireland. His own opinion—an opinion which he had arrived at after much consideration—was that a Roman catholic college should be established in Ireland, and that the state should aid in giving a start to such an institution. The Roman catholic population had raised 120,0001. for the purpose of founding and endowing such a college. The members of the established church had Trinity Col. , lege, where they could be educated and receive degrees. The Queen's Colleges had not the confidence of the Roman eitholics. He thought, therefore, that some provision should be made for the latter. As this could only be done bj the adoption of the denomi national system, he should vote for the amendment of the right hon. member for Limerick (Mr. Monsen). He thought that Trinity College should be separated into a board of examiners, and that the same system should be carried out in the University of London. It was most desirable that the Roman catholic people of Ireland should have the tame means of eau:Awn as they had in France and Germany. After the declaration of the noble lord the Secretary for Ireland, it was impossible tlutt*the ques tion should remain as it was, and he hoped some other member of the government would declare in the course of the debate what they intended to do. Mr. O'REILLY was in favour of one university for Ireland, where the students of Trinity College, the Queen's Colleges, and the Catholic University could be examined and obtain degrees. An honourable emulation would be created, and the cause of education promoted by the adop tion of such a system. He should vote for the amend ment ; but if that were lost he should vote for the ',ion of the hon. member for Brighton. Mr. PIM said the only way in which this question could be satisfactorily settled was by placing all denominations on a footing of perfect equality. He preferred the mode of attaining that end indicated in the amendment of the right hon. gentleman the member for Limerick to that pointed out by the motion of the hon. member forßrighton, and therefore he should support the former. [Left sitting.] NATIONAL DISCOUNT COMPANY (LIMITED). (THIS DAY.) The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held at noon at the London Tavern ; Mr. F. W. RussuL in the chair. The report, which had been issued some time before, having been taken as read. TherCHAremstr moved its adoption. He said he trusted the accounts were considered satisfactory. The events of the last six months explained why the dividend was 17 in stead of 20 per cent. The falling off in business extended to other establishments besides their. ; and nothing would induce the directors to put forth any statement which would not bear strict examination. lu the opinion of the director. a dividend at the rate of 17 per cent. was, under the circumstances, very satisfactory. (Cheer..) Mr. CHAYTOR (deputy-chairman) seconded the motion. The motion was adopted without anyprevious discussion. A dividend at the rate of 17 per cent. per annum was then declared. A vote of thanks was given to the directors. A SHAREMOLDER having proposed a vote of thanks to the manager, Mr. Webber, Mr. CHATTOII, in seconding the motion, stated, in proof of the care with which the a ff airs of the bank had 'been managed, that the total amount of bills discounted from the commencement was 194,000,00 W., and that the loss sustained was otly 101 d. por 100/. (Cheers.) The motion was then adopted, and the proceedings, which occupied only about ten minutes, ternunated. PORE-STREET WAREHOUSE COMPANY ( LIMITED).-( THIS DAY.) The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held this afternoon, at the London Tavern; Mr. W. SMITH in the chair. The report said:—" The net profits of the half-year ending June 30, after payment of interest, income tax, and every other expense, and making %Bowan.), for bad and doubtful debts, amounted to 21,5M1 2s. Id., which, with the balance from 31st December, 1866, 5,5731. Ti. Id , make • total of 27,166/. 9s. 2d., whic h it is recommended shall be appropriated as under : To the payment of a dividend (free of income tax) at the rate of 10per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital, 18,0001.; interest at 5 per cent. per annum on sums paid in anticipation of calls, 48/. 13e. 10d., making 18,048/. 13s. led.; carrying forward to next account, 9,117/.154.4d. The directors regret that the net earnings of the last six months would not admit of the payment of the usual divi dend on the entire capital of the company, without tres passing on the balance of 5,573/. brought from 1866, and in view of the past and present stagnation of trade throughout the world, the directors think it more prudent to increase rather than diminish their reserve. They believe that the shareholders will endorse this opinion and look upon • dividend of 10 per cent. per annum in the present day as a satisfactory result of the business. The meeting will be invited to adopt • formal resolution authorising the issue of debentures for 120,0001. to Mr. Morrison in lieu of the two instalments of 60,000/. each, payable to that gentleman on the Ist April and lit October in the current year. Mr. Brown and Mr. Slater are the directors who retire from office by rotation. They offer themselves for re-elarion. Mr. Fairbairn is likewise willing to act as auditor if re-elected. The dividend warrants will be issued on the 3rd prox." . . _ The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said, as regarded the dividend, the fact stated with respect to the stagnation of trade must appeal to every gentle man present. The directors had taken care to make a pro portionate diminution of stock, which was now valued at 60,000 f. less than it was at the List meeting. He could only say that every effort would be made to extend the business, and the company would participate in any re vival of trade. _ _ A SHAREHOLDER hoped that in future a portion of the receipts would be applied to pay off the 60,000/. charged for the goodwill. A certain anioni.t ought to be carried forward every half•year until the whole was wiped off. In reply to a question, The CHAIRMAN observed that there would be no call during the present year, but there would probably be one in the spring of next year. The report was adopted, and a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum having been declared, the proceed ings terminated in the usual manner. To-morrow the Earl of Kimberley will move the second reading of the Teats Abolition (Oxford and Cam bridge) Bill. The Lord President will move that the bill be road a second time on that day three months. The Earl of Harrowby has given notice that he intends to-morrow to " present a petition from Miss Shedden, praying for investigation into certain frauds alleged by her to have been committed in regard to docu ments which are now in the custody of the house, and are of essential importance to the appeal now waiting for hearing." In the Representation of the People Bill the following clause is to be moved in committee by the Earl Stanhope to follow clause Cl :—" Whereas great inconve nience may arise from the enactments now in force limiting the duration of the parliament in being at the demise of the crown, be it therefore enacted that the parliament in being at any future demise of the crown shall not be de termined or dissolved by such demise, but shall continue so long as it would have continued but for such demise, unless it should be sooner prorogued or dissolved by the crown, anything in the act passed in the sixth year of her late Majesty Queen Anne, chapter seven, in any way not withstanding." Mr. Wilbraham Egerton will ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department to-morrow whether he intends to carry out the recommendation of the committee on the Factory Act Extension Bill, that a royal commission should issue to inquire into the operation of the Bleaching, Dyeing, and Printworks Acts. The estimated sum required to defray the charges which shall come in course of payment in the year ending the 31st March, 1868, on account of the increased pay to be given to the non-commissioned officers and privates of the Royal Marine Corps amounts in all to 50,0001., : for increased pay to non-commissioned officers and privates of Royal Marines serving afloat, 24,4001. ; for ditto serving as shore, 25,600/.

ARDY.—We have to record the death of Mrs. Mira Abdy, • lady who has long been well known for her poetical writhigs. Her earliest contributions appmired in the pages of the New Monthly, under the sature of " M.A. " and she subsequently became con nected with the Meiropontan, while it was under the edi torial care of Thomas Campbell. Her poems have been col lected in five volumes. The mother of the deceased was the sister of Horace and James Smith, the authors of the " Rejected Addresses." MR. ERNEST JONES AND THE REPRESENTATION or ELturas.—On Monday • public open-air meeting was held in fruit of the Town Hall, Halifax ' to consider the steps deemed necessary to be taken at the next general election. The evening being fine, there was • very fair attendance. Mr. John Smith, carpet weaver, Stannary, was elected to the chair. Mr. George Webber moved the first resolution, which web, "That in the event of Mr. Ernest Jones not becoming a candidate for the city of Manchester, this meeting most cordially invites him to allow himself to be put in nomination as one of the Liberal candidates for the borough of Halifax at the next general election." In answer to a ques tion as to which of the present representatives Mr. Webber wished tot see displaced, be declined to say. Mr. F. Wright, president of the Halifax branch of the Re form League, seconded the motion. He expressed himself as strongly opposed to anything to endanger Mr. Stansfeld s seat. If he thought the present movement would end in displacing Mr. titansfeld, he would not lift his hand. Mr. Joseph Greenwood, stuff finisher, moved as an amendment. "That this meeting has full confidence in our representa tives Mr. Stansfeld and Mr. Akroyd." Mr. Thomas Akroyd, Halifax Corporation Reservoir keeper, seconded the amendment. A rather irregular discussion followed, in the course of which a rider was proposed that the meet ing had full confidence in Mr. Stansfeld, and that a vote be taken singly on each name before the meeting. This was accordingly done, and the show of hands was declared in favour of Mr. Stansfeld and Mr. Jones. THUNDERSTORM NEAR BOLTON. —Yesterday after noon, about 1 o'clock, • tremendous storm, accompanied by heavy thunder and vivid lightning, fell over the dis trict of Little Lever, near Bolton. In Hall-lane the electric fluid played a singular and somewhat destructive freak at the house of Mr. John Greenhalgh. Mrs. Greenhalgh and two of her children were in the kitchen. One of the latter, • little girl 6 or 7 yearn old, went upstairs to see if the rain had penetrated the ceiling, when almost immediately came • tremendous crash. The mother rushed upstairs, and found the child lying helpless, and apparently dead. It, however, shortly recovered, and was found not much injured. It was then discovered that the lightning had knocked down the chimney, having descended by the chimney into the bedroom, thence into the lower parts of the house, where it forced a cornice from its position, and smashed the ornaments upon it ; it then flashed round the room, swept the pictures from the wall, and passed out at the door, most providentially without injury to any of the inmates. A cat, which was lying on the hearthstone, was struck dead. The gable of the house was much shaken, and most of the window frames damaged, the house being rendered untenantable. After raging about three quarters of an hour with terrific violence, the storm ceased. So other damage, excepting what has occurred in various qaarters by fl oa t, is reported. THE FRENCH WOREPEOPLE AND THE GOVERN MEKT.—It was thought a happy hit to get foreigners to spend • million and a half sterling amongst French arti sans and mechanics in completing and fitting np their respective departments of the Exhibition. But 'he regular demand for hands not being suspended, the extraordinary demand simply added about 206,000 more to the army of proktaires quartered in and about the capital, and placing the government very much in the condition of the en chanter who was compelled to find employment for the spirit he had raised, under the penalty of being torn to paces. When the laws of political economy agree with common sense—and they are sadly misnamed when they do not—they are never long transgressed with impunity. As most of the large towns, Lyons, Marseilles, Bordeaux, &c., have been emulously beautifying already, they afford no outlet, and imagination is let loose to discover what fresh marvels of expenditure will suffice to prevent or pro crastinate the crisis. Is the noble faubourg to be the next victim to punish it for its legitimist recollections! or is the Latin quarter, with its unruly students, to be treated like the Faubourg Saint-Antoine ?--Qaarterly lie view, new number. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. MARK-LANE.-(716 pey.) Fresh up to our market to-diy the arrivals of English wheat were again very limited. For both red and white parcels the tr ale was firm and Monday's advance in prices was established. The quantity of foreign wheat on the stands was tolerably good. Pine parcels commanded full currencies with a fair demand. For other kinds the mar ket was quiet. The floating cargo trade was steady in tone, and a fair average business was concluded. There was a moderate supply of foreign barley on offer, but no English. The trade was firm for all qualities, at very full currencies. Malt was steady in price. A moderate quantity was dis posed of. Large supplies of oats were on sale. The trade was quiet. Fine parcels realised late rates, but inferior Rus sian were rather eas . .er to purchase. The supply of beaus was only moderate; nevertheless, the inquiry was limited, on former terms. Peas moved off slowly at late rates. Flour was firm at the recent enhancement in value. Linseed and r toeseed were steady, but agric.2taral mewls met with very little attention. CUILAIMT MILTS. IrmourlL Per Qr. Weflu?. S. s. isle; Yout, rstl.
