A banquet to celebrate the return to parliament el nine liberal members for Surrey wee held last (minim la the County end Borough Hall, Guildford. Colonel Caawasaa, who some years op unstroceesfally °attested she representation of the county, presided, end was sup ported by Mr. Liven!, IL P. , Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs ; the Hon. J. P. Locke Ring, M.P. ; Mr. C. Bux ton, M.P. ; Mr. J. I.Brieeoe, M.P. ; Mr. Guildford Onslow, M.P. ; Kr. T. Hughes, M.P. ; Mr. G. Jameson Gower, Y.P. ; Slr R. Colebrooke, M.P. ; the Hon. Captain Bger ims, the Roe. G. B. Wriottesley, Mr. R. D. Mangles, Captain Mangles, and a large Dumber of local celebrities. The customary loyal and patriotic toasts haring been drunk, The OBAIRMAN proposed the health of her Majesty's Ministers, empliNg with the toast the name of Mr. Layer& Mr. LAYLED, in responding, said—Of coarse you cannot expect me here to divulge any secrets of the govern ment. I will not do so far one good reason, namely, that lam sot acquainted with them. (Laughter, a n d cheers.) At the same time, I am certain that whatever he does, Lord Russell will do in • liberal spisit, and every use is convinced that the time has come when that elms of oar citizens who have most raised themselves daring the last century—the working class—alionld have • due share in the suffrage. (Loud sheers.) With regard to foreign policy, you know what Lord Russell's policy has been already, and as head of the government you must know that it will continue to be ounded upon literal opinion.. As to the foreign policy of the liberal government, I will merely mention that daring their tenure of office the liberals have concluded commer cial treatise with Frame, Italy, Belgium, Turkey, and leek if net lout, with Andric We have actually seen Austria felling in with our 'Totem of tree trade. (Cheers.) As regerde the administration of my own department, we have endeavoured—l think successfully—to conduct it von a more satisfactory principle then existed formerly. Young mini do not now undertake diplomacy as • mere idle amassment, but they are thoroughly educated for the service. I have seen the reports of our secretaries of lega tion and attaches, and I koow that a greet light has bees thrown by them epos the condition of our trade, and that they have received most favourable notices from the press. Last summer, when the exhibition at Moscow of the arts and products of the country took place, a deputation, headed by Mr. Samson Lloyd, proposed to go to Moscow to examine the manufactures of Rama and to bold intercourse with the manufacturers of Russia, her Majesty's government entered warmly into the scheme, and sent Mr. Mitchell to sooomoony them. Mr. Mitchell's report will soon be laid before parliament, and I hope it will give you • good impression of the way in which a junior member of the diplomatic corps can d.schsrge his duties. Yen will see from his report how minimally the principles of free trade are getting hold of all mankied. I know that quoting sta. tilde' is • disagreeable thief/, especially in the presence of ladies, withal* not supposed to know anything about figures, bat only wish to mention two facts. In 1842 our exports anri imports amounted in value to 179,000,0001. ; last year they amounted to 496,000,0001. la the wesetime, the Chan cellor of the Excheqner has been able to reduce taxation by 184 millions, and the revenue instead of Wive impaired has increased by neerly 500,0001. per annum. (Loud cheers.) These figures, I think, say more than any eloquence of mine mild for the manner in which the public affairs of the country have been conducted, arid I trust there is no liberal in the country who wishes tome a different policy inaugu rated. (cheers.) As regards our foreign alliances, they are in the most satisfactory position. With Frame in par ticular, we are on the best of terms, and if any country can be termed our national ally, it is that greet country on the other side of the 1 ethanneL I hops the time is far distant when this country will hays to go to war, and I believe that so long as Eng land and Francs remain united a great war is imp osible. hut that the happiness of the human race will be pro moted and civilisation advanced. At the present moment England and France are nulling to prevent a war breaking oat on the southern coast of America, and I trust their efforts will end in bringing the unhappy quarrel which has sprung up between Spain and Chili to • peaceful issue. (Chests.) The policy which I have described has been the policy of a liberal government which has bees carried out in spite of the strongest oppositios. Many of our greatest measures—a cheap press, flee trade—and every great measure which has tended to promote .the - liberty of the country and the happiness of the people have been carried by very small majorities against tte determined opposition of the other side. (Loud cheers.) Hop ng that you will always bear that great fact in mind, I beg to thank you for the patience and kindness with which you have heard me. The recnaloing speakers—including Mr. Briscoe, Sir B. T. Colebrook, M.P., Mr. Locke King, M.P., Mr. Buxton, M P., Mr Otalow, M.P., Mr. Lacks, M P., Capt. Mangles,. sod Mr. Hughes, M.P.—all enlarged upon the Bioassay for reform, and impressed their confidence is the sincerity of the gormnunt, and their belief that a measure descrying of support would be introduced.

These were two actions to recover damages for an ell Pied libel, which had been published in the West London Observer, sad there was a pleaot justification that the sup posed libel was true. Mr. Rib-ton and Mr. Eyre Lloyd app aced for tit+ tiff ; and Mr. kluddleston and Mr. Brandt for the defendants. . The plaintiff bad been • butcher, in business at Notting hill, and the actions were against the sewspaper and Mr. Lovett, the sanitary inspector of the district. The alleged libel was • letter written by Mr. Lovett to the paper, which referred to a report which bad been published of the plaintiff having, "accompanied by two medical gentlemen, attended before Mr. Ingham, the Polio, magistrate, to compla , n of Mr. Lovett, the eaoitsry inspector, for having made him return the money for a piece of meat which be (Lovett) declared was unfit for human food, one of the medical gentlemen stating that the meat was most wholesome, sod that opinion was endirsed by two inspectors of Newgate-msrket." The letter then went on to state the eiicurostanoes which had occurred, the sabidasos of the statement being that the meat was, in fact, stinking, maggotty, and unfit for food. and that the plain tiff had substituted another piece of beef when he procure d the opinion of the doctors and the inspectors of Nswgate market. • t' The pI ain ars case was that imbed been obliged, in conse quence of the statements, to part with his bus; oess, which was a small one, and a great deal of evidence was given on each aide upon the question whether the statements in the *ter were or were not true. _ . Mr. Justice Ryles, io summing up, expressed hie regret that two actions should have t Jen brought when one would have been sufficient ; he went in detail through the evidence, and left it to the jury to say whether or not they thought that the statements is the letter were true. The jury found for the defendants upon the plea of justi fication. COURT OF DIVORCE.—Fas. 2, (Before Sir J. P. Wilds.) CONRADIN /. CONRADIN AND /LANDMAN. After our report left yesterday, Boma Golder deposed to having been closely intima'e with Mrs. Conradin, sod to various acts of drnekeneeits and lewdness committed by her in the presence of Flashman, Elisabeth Frost, and witness. It was elicited in cross examination that the witness at the time she was speaking to was upon the streets. Mrs. Knowles. a lodging-house keeper, deposed to Mrs. Conradin being at her house with a man whom she could not identify. Berjeant Atkinson said the evidence of the last witness was so coeclusive as to the adultery of the respondent that he should no leoger contest the point. The Queen's Advocate then called evidence in support of the charge of adultery against the petitioner with "Limy Frost," and eventually, after disclosing circumstances sur rounding the case of the grossest immorality, Rio Lordship said that the adultery of Mrs. Conradin with Fischman was proved, but that the adultery of Mr. Conradin with "Lissy Froet"was also prayed: the petition, therefore, must be dismissed. With regard to costa. Flash man must pay all the coats incurred in proving his adultery. EATS 0, KATE AND KELLY. The hearing of this case bad proceeded for some time when his lordship said he had to attend a meeting of the Royal Commission on the Laws of Marriage. The taint must therefore be adjourned till to-morrow. THE LOSS OP THE LONDON STEAMER. Yesterday the official inquiry instituted by the Board of Trade isto the circumstances attending the fano done& of the steamer London was resumed at the Green wich Police-court, before Mr. Traill, the district stipendiary magistmte, and Captains Harris and Baker, the nautical unmoor,. Mr. O'Dowd, es before, conducted the case on behalf of the Board of Trade. Mr. C. Wigram, of the arm of Wignim and Sons, the owner, of the London, was present, and a large number of persona were mumbled in the body of the court, it haviog been stated by Mr. O'Dowd, the previous day, that the engineers of the ill-fated steamer would be tendered for exammotion at an early hour. John Jones was examined by Mr. O'Dowd. He deposed— I reside at Camberwell. I was chief engineer of the London. I have A certificate of competency from the Board of Trude. After leaving London on the 28th of December our machinery worked without giving us the slightest trouble until we had got as far as Plymouth. We were in charge of a Trinity-house pilot. Mr. Greenhill, and Mr. Moline, the sound and third engineers, were with us when we sailed, as a'so a lesdieg stoker, a tune-keeper, six firemen, and three coal trimmers. The metes were working when we were leaving the docks, the number of evolutions being about 30. When the weather became rough off Dungeness the engines worked well. We were loin; six or seven knots off Dawning. We kept a log-book in the engine-room, but it was lost. Everything went well in the engine department between London sad Plymouth. Wale we were at Plymouth nothing occurred that would require attutioe. We took in fifty tons of coals in London, and we had five or six tons on getting into Plymouth. We left Plymouth shortly after midnight of the bth of January, previously to which we had replaced the coals which bad been consumed on the voyage from London to Plymouth. The coal was stowed toned the en glee-room hatch sod the steam chest. I don't think we had twenty tow of coals on the deck on the 11th of January. Some of the coals were washed away on the 11th. To Mr. was disabled dUring the gal; by beiog thrown spinet the snapper. To Mr. O'Dowd—After leaving Plymouth we deemed about eight knots an hour. The weather was very mild on our leaving Plymouth, and continued so during the 6th. The weather freshened on the 7th. I think the London kept her course under steam on the 7th, and she had not, as far as I know, made any water up to that time. The weather increased almost to a gale early on the morning of the Bth. About 8 cm. Captain Martin gave orders to stop the engines, lift the screw, and pat the fires out. The weather conti nued the same until about 5 o'clock in the evening, when it moderated, and we got up steam again. The wind began to increase about midnight of the Bth, and continued increasing up to the time the ship went down. On the morning of the 9th, I think, one of the life boats was carried away. I went on deck and saw the fore topmast, topgallantmut and royal mut hanging down. I did not go forward to observe the gibboom. I did not see the spars secured. The London had steamed up to this time with her head to the wind. She shipped a little sea on the 9th. The engine -room was clear of water on the 9th. The engines worked until the fires were put out by the sea early on the morning of the 10th. At 3 a.m.. Captain Martin ordered Mr. Greenhill, the second ugineer, to go at full speed. I went into the engine -room at half-past 4 o'clock and found everything going on well. My watch was from half-past four to half-put 8 o'clock. At half-past four the ship was in full speed and continued le that speed up to the end of my watch. At half-past 8 o'clock I was re lieved by the seeped engineer, and did not go on watch again until half-past four o'clock in the afternoon. After my secondiwatch I went to my cabin. I was around at half. past ten by the big sea breaking the skylight of the engine-room. I went to the bottom of the ladder leading to the engine-room, and found the second engineer standing near the engines. The room was flooded. I ran on deck, and saw that the whole of the skylight had gone. I returned to the esgine-room and found the fires oat. We then shut up the after bulk-heads, and went upon deck. The ship was labouring very heavily, and con. tinually shipping sae. Tarpaulins and canvas were brought and laid over the apertures, sod the sailors got the fly ing jibboom to put under these, but the men and materials were washed into the tee•scuppers. Mr.O'Dowd—How did the men week Witness—Very well. Many of the passengers assisted at the pampa, and baled out the water with buckets. The salons passengers assisted as weU as the steerage peasengers. I cannot say what canvas the ship carried at this time. I was going with my breakfast when a sea struck the @hip, that I was thrown into the lee scuppers. I had no bone broken, but I suffered from pain. Things remained io the same condition until the lOth. I went on deck early on the morning of the 11th. I noticed that the ship Swam in • most disabled condition, sod was rolling in the trough of the sea. I wee on deck about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. I ran across the deck and over the poop-deck, and jumped Into the port-cutter. I believe I was the lest person who mitered the cutter. 3dr. O'Dowd—Did you see the captain before you entered the boat ? Witaaes--Yes. Mr. O'Dowd—Where was he? Witness—Betwee n the decks. Mr. O'Dowd—What was ho doing? Witness—He was going towards the saloon. He asked me how I felt, and I replied, " Not well." That was the only observation of his that came under my notice. This was about an hour before I got into the boat. Mr. O'Dowd—How did the passengers appear Witness—They were preaching asd praying, and seamed to be as much composed as possible under the circum stances. There were no loud sounds, but than was sub dued groaning. To Mr. Traill—l had been only about four minutes in the cutter when the ship went down stern foremost. To Mr. O'Dowd—Our provisions in the boat consisted of a few biscuits and some raw vegetables. There was no water, wine, or spirits to my knowledge. We were drifting about 20 hours, when we descried a valet That was nine o'clock on Friday morning. We bad five oars. We hosted an old shht on the top of a pole, and as soon as the barque observed us her men waved their hats and cheered us on. As soon as we got near, the log-line was thrown towards us. and other lines of a thicker descrip tion were afterwards thrown out. There were 19 in the boat, three being passengers. To Captain Harris—l believe the boat was principally governed by the oars. To Mr. O'Dowd—The Dame of the barque was the Marianople. , In the broadest sense of the word the captain behaved with the greatest kindness. John Greenhill, second engineer of the London on her last voysge, was then examined. He said— At 2 o'clock Captain Mattis ordered the port cutter to be lowered. That was done safely with common tackle. The boat belonged to me as second engineer. The captain came to me at five minutes to 2 o'clock, and said the boat was ready for lowering. I sad I did sot think there was any use in lowering the boat. He replied, "There is no chance for the ship, but there is some for the boat." He shook bands with me, and wished me God speed. I then went into the boat, and the first engieser end others fol lowed. We pushed off, seeing the ship was going down. About four or five minutes after le►ving the ship I saw her go down stern foremost. - To Mr. Traill-1 heard nothing said shoot the a ipinio pin into the boat. Ooe of the sailors called out before the boat was lowered, and asked the captain what was the mune. The captain replied, " E N.E., 80 miles to Breit.' To Mr. O'Dowd—We had no hope of saving our lives in the boat in such a sea. To Mr. Traill—The sea broke into the boat, and we baled it out with tie cans and a bucket. Our dr nking water got mixed with salt water immediately after we left the ship, and we bad to throw it away. To Captain Hanis—The conversation between Captain Martin enil me took place in the front of the poop. Both of the lifeboats bad been lost, one having been stove in sod the other washed away. When we lowered our boat there wee only one hanging on the deck. Several attempts had been made to lower the other phloem. They might have got her out, but they seemed regardless is the matter. After our boat had got off, I saw a rush to the remaining phloem About noon on that day the square foresail was set, and the ship kept before the wind, but fieding she took more water, she was again brought to the wind. Every time the ship lurched to leeward, she took in the water in tons over her bulwarks. I thick the substance of thebulkhead to which the sliding door was fixed was 5-Bths iron. The ship made very little water until she was struck with the heavy sea that carried away her engine -room hatch. If the ship had taken is any water in the main bold I would have seen it running into the engine room through the sluice valves. I beard nothing 'it'd by Captain Martin about the height of the barometer. Captain Martin spoke to me re peatedly daring the night of the 10th. He bad hopes of saving the vessel, as he thought the weather was moderat leg. Efforts were made to clear the ship by buckets, and the donkey engine was set to working the chain pump during the morning of the Iltb, and was working when the ship went down. The coals were thrown overboard in seek■ after the fires were put out. I was aware the ship would go down by the stern some boors before I left her. The screw bad not been hoisted when I left the ship. I found the stuffiog box at the sod of the screw abaft per fectly tight. I never heard that the topgallastmut had come down and broken the skylight. To Captain Baker—The last time, looked into the engine room was at one o'clock on the 11th, and there wee thee 19 feet of water is the room. When we hove to after the attempt to run before the wind I think the wizen staysail was set, but lam not certain. We bad no difficulty in lowering the boat in which we got away. TM court then adjourned, it bents five o'clock. Di/WATCH OF TIM Wray INDIA MAIIB.--13017111.

Leyland, Gres;; Winchester-street, was summoned for unlawfully detaining a quantity of cigan, the property of Charles Walborn. It appeared from the statement of the complainant. who is a German Jew, that a short time back be bad borrowed 201. of the defendant upon his depositing with him a num ber of boxes of cigars as security. He bad since applied to the defendant for the loan of a further sum of motley upon the deposit of other cigars, and they were taken to the defendant's office, and he placed them outside on the land ing while he went in to speak to the defendant. He was asked into the Milos, end when be came out he saw his cigars were gone, and the defendant bad since refused to deliver them up. Mr. Miller, a solicitor, who attended for the defendant, put some question to the complainant, in answer to which be admitted that the cigars he originally deposited with the defendant were only British manufactured cigars, not worth more than 9s. 6d. per lb. • but the boxes bore the brands of La Mathilde, Henry day, and other choice brands ; but he said he was not responsible for what the makers of the boxes chose to put upon them. The com plainant likewise admitted that the cigars be now sought to have delivered up, and upon which ha had endeavoured to obtain a second loan, were of the same description as the others, and that they were also in boxes bearing appezently choice breeds. Mr. Miller, on behalf of the defendant, said that so far as the complainant was concerned, the transaction was nothing more nor leas than a swindle. He went to Mr. Laylsnd, and asked him to advance him 201. upon the security of what he represented to be a number of boxes of choice cigars, but it turned out that the brands were false, and the cigars contained in them were nothing better than rubbish. (A laugh.) He tried it on • second time, but the defendant having discovered how he bad been cheated, got possession of the second lot, and held them as security for the money he had advanced, but he was willing to give up the whole quantity if the complainant would pay him the amount he hid advanced, and he would not take any interest? Sir A. Carden said this seemed a f.ir proposition, and he asked the complainant whether be would agree to it. The complainant (laughing) said he did not want the first lot of cigars back—he was quite satisfied with that trans action. (A laugh.) Sir R. Carden said be supposed these cigars were not worth more than the amount that had been advanced on them? Mr. Miller said they were not worth one-MALI of the money that had been advanced upon them. (Laughter.) Sir R. Carden laid it appeered to him that the com plainant and the defendant were both very sharp people, and, under the circumstances, he should not make any order. If the complainant paid the money that bad been advanced to him he would bays his cigars delivered up. Mr. Miller said that his client would be very glad to restore the cigars upon this condition, and the summons was then diannasod. THE SHROPSHIRE MURDER, —Yesterday, Mr. John Meredith, farmer and miller, of Dudlick, Shropshire, wee breath% up at Cleobury Mortimer, charged with the murder of his nephew, Edward Edwards, under the circum. stances already given in these columns. Dr. Taylor was not present, there having been insufficient sunshine since the prisoner's blood-stained clothes has bees in his posses sion, to enable him to complete his examination of the garments. The evidence taken at the first inquiry was read over, and other witnesses were examined, but much of it was irrelevant, and nothing transpired calculated to shed much useful light ea the mystery in which the terrible crime I. shrouded. At five o'clock the examination was again adjourned. THE REV. S. HAWORTH'S CASE—ID the case of the Rev. B.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT • RAILWAY STATION.— Yesterday Dr. Larikester held an inquest at the Mason's Arms, Titehborne-street. Edgware-meld, relative to the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Righfield, 713 years of age, who died from injuries received from falling off the platform at the Spa-road Metier) of the South-Eastern Railarsy, the deceased , imputing blame to the company that sufficient light was not given for the safety of the passengers. It appeared that the demand lady took a second-class ticket at the Bps-toad station of the South-Eastern Railway on the evening of the 26th alt., sad while on the platform without, about a dozen other ticket-holders and other passengers weeded the stairs. A porter called out, "Third-class behind," and the deceased lady, in moving to allow some passengers to p -se her, fell off the platform on her back on the line. fibs was assisted up, and while leaning against as iron pillar com plained to a lady that the station was not sufficiently lighted. She was then taken home to Titchbornectreet, Edgware-road, where she complained as she had previously dond of a pain in her back, the lady alluded to who accom panied her having pressed her hand against her back during her ride home. The following medical certificate was put in :—" I hereby eerily that I attended Elizabeth Rich field, aged 70 last bi , thdey. I last saw her on the 26th of January, 1866, sod she died the following day. The cause of death was ao accident from falling from a railway plat form on to the rails, whereby she fractured three ribs, fever was consequent, and death ensued from the injury. (Signed) B. G. Bahntoros, M.D., &c." Mrs. Annie Wilton deposed to seeing the accident, and rendering assistance to the deceased lady. He said the platform eras generally complained of, not so much for Mee want of light as platform accommodation. Through Mr. Stevens several of the railway officials were examined, who all agreed that the platform was deficient in accommoda tion ; that the Main came up between two Ems, leavieg a spies on each side of the staircase on the platform of over 2 feet, Out the platform itself was seedy 9 feet wide, emend in the centre with an iron roof, and well lighted.

Matthew Orr appeared before Mr. Alderman B,lomo, s, at the Cu lelhaLl Police -court, yesterday, in answer to two 111103E10. Bfs taken oat against him by J. L. Watkins and George Bailey,tor obtaining Ramey hem them by false prvtem:ese It appeared that Mr. Orr had openei certain registry offices fur clerks, ;art.-re, travellers. &c., sod advertised to get situations for applheyntr oo peymeut of one peony foe a orm. The complatesets, it wee averred, with about 50 other persons, had paid the money, and on filling op certain forms were than required to pay an extra shilling. This being dons, they we.e sent away and no situation found for them although the advertisement stated that situations would be provided for them within two days, and it seriously warned all persons aisiust the impositions prac tised by other registry offices. The false pretence was ►lleged to be the receiving the tees on the pretence of ob taining a situation when it ass not in the defoodent's power to procure one, ►ed be d d not do so in the time stipulated in his advertisement or at any other time. lie carried on the business of hi offices at 181 and 183, Fleet street, under the lame of Smith and Co. On the summon, being called on. a gentleman who at tended from Mr. Thome. Beard's office applied for the sum monses to be post; onedon the ground that the defendaut'a daughter, who would be a most materiel witness in the case, WY too ill to appear, and produced a medical certificate to that effect. _ _ Alderman Salomon—There are numbers of persons who are cow here, aid who have lost some days about this sum mons, and in justice to those whom 1 may say have been taken in daily by your advertisement, I cannot ask them to attend another day at your request unless you pay them their expenses ; sold I must also say that I receive many letters from persons who have paid their fees to you, and oomplaia that they have been swindled. The letter from the medical man which you produce is not addressed to the court, and if I acquiesce to your application youniust pay the expenses, as the oomplaiosats in such a case as this deserve more consideration than you do. Mr. Orr—l will be most happy tops,' them for their day's etteudaoce if you will adjourn the ow. Alderman Salomon-1 think it only just that you should do so, es these pe-ple who are taken in are poor, and it is bard for them to lose either their time or money. Mr. Orr—l sin only eunimoned by two persons. Alderman Salomons—Yes. that is very true, Lut there ate over 22 more behind them, all of whom have paid you money, and not one of them has yet obtained a situation *rough your mewls. I have heart so much of these office' that I cannot give them their class of business any other then the proper name, which is nothing else than swin dling. Wben you receive money under the plea of getting them situations, cad, as it would appear, in no ina'ance do so, you ought at least return all of them the money whioh you have so improperly received from them. The landlord of the house in which the defendant lived here stepped forward and said—My son let the defendant the premises about three weeks ago, and I finding to what purposes they were put, save him • written notice to quit, but be said be should not leave, and would not give any reason for doing so. I have Woos taken proceedings against him in order to compel him to give up possession. The scenes outside the offices of this man which daily occur are very deplorable, as there we numbers of poor women of the Clara of domestic servant., whose money ham been taken, sad who are crying outside the door. Defendant —lt is false ; there is nothing of the kind. I have never taken a fee yet from a domestic servant. (The following advertisment has appeared in some of the morning papers " Domestics servants of every class, town and country —Give up registry offices. fiend • stamp for our form, fill it in, and in two days a situation awaits you, at good wages. No fees to psy.—Smith and Co., reformers in the employment system, 181 and 183, Fleet-street.") • Alderman Salmons—This is • public nuisance, and I am determisattorhave it put down, as the system takes the money from those who can least afford to low i•, poor crea tures in fact out a situation, with little or no money, and who think when they deposit the fees demanded that • situation will be obtained for them, instead of being de frauded of that which is to them at the time of importance. You must shut up this shop of yours, sir ; ant if you do not do it, I will do it for you, for I will communicate at once with the Commissioners of Sewers, and see what steps can be taken to abolish such • nuisance. _ _ The summons ssu then adjourned till Tuesday next, on Mr. Orr undertsk.ng to pay the expenses of the com plainant'. BRUTAL TREATMENT OF A SERVANT. On Thursday afternoon last, Frederick Thomas Gumb, and Anna Maria Gumb, his wife, were charged be fore the county magistrates at ilberbi rine wish having neglected to supply proper food to Emily Fox, a servant, whereby ber life was eodsngered, and prisoners were further charged with violently awaiting Emily Fox. The cam excited considerable interest, and the roust was crowded. Mr. F. notlams, ;sewn law comezi.rloper, watched the case on behalf of the Poor-law Board ; Mr. S. Watts, of Yeovil, defended the prisoners. The facts of the cam will appear from the follow ing evidence. Emily Fox was first sworn. She pre sented a ghastly appearaooe. iler face was much dis figured, and she appeared a perfect skeleton. She bad to be supported by the nurse daring the whole of the inquiry. She said—l am now living in the Sherbert). union. I was formerly a resident of the union. About eighteen months since I left the workhouse to enter the service of Mr. and Mrs. Gumb. During the time I was in their service 1 never received any money. Mn. Gumb gave me three articles of clothing —a pinafore, a pair of stockings, and e pair of Maya. I was 14 years of age last October. I looked after the ohildreo, and sometimes did • little washing. From the first I had cold cabbage and potatoes for break fast. 800101i111811 I had water-broth (bread soaked in water). and occasionally there was a little fat in it. For dinner I had cold cabbage end potatoes. Occasionally I bad meat for dinner. For tea, I had sometimes dry-bread, sometimes bread and butter, end sometimes broth. I never had anything after tea. I wait to bed between 10 and 11 o'clock, and usuarly got up at 6 o'clock. I slept alone in a room upstairs. I had to I.e on ! r straw mattress. There was oo sheet or blanket upon the ! mattress. I bad • sheet end a counterpane to cover me, but never a blanket— not even in winter. The cabbage end potatoes were sot cooked every mrraing. A quantity suffi cient to last me three or four days was cooked at a time. The potatoes were neither wished nor peeled before being cooked, and when they were given me to eat they bad their rinds on. The cabbage was boiled just as it came from the garden. It was never washed. I have fre quently been beaten by my mistress. Sometimes she struck me with a ground ash stick. Mrs. Gumb once struck me across the face with a stick, and she afterwards told me! that abe bad broken the bridge cf my one. My nose bled whenever mistress struck me on the head. She has struck ' me in the mote h and loosened my tee. h. On one occasion ' after knocking me upon the floor, she kicked me in the face. On one occasion I was endeavouring to carry a boiler to Mr. Willmott's. I could not do so, and Mrs. Gumb struck me with a stick across the left etre My ear was cut, and she sewed it up with a needle and cotton. It gave me' great pain whilst she was sowing up my ear. She has several times struck me on the head. On, night she broke my head open with • stick. She ' then put on a piece of white 800'1.1 plaster. aed dis colour the plaster with ink. I never complained to any one. I never west into the town alone. I once or twice camplaitied to Mrs. Gumb that I bad not enough food. During the whole time that I wain the prisoners' service I never went to a church or chapel on a Sunday. I received blows from Mrs. Gumb heroes my loins and back, sod occa sionally she kicked me. The skin was sometimes broken, sod they bicsnie cores. Mee. Gumb sometimes struck me when master was at borne, sod he grumbled at her for doing so. Dr. Highmore attended me about tines martin linos for sickness. I was ie bed whoa he attended me. Prisoners took their breakfast in the kitchen. They gauntly bed fried bona and potatoes for breakfast; meat and vegetables fir din ner ; end tee and supper. The master of the Shinbones Milos deposed to the healthy state of the girl when she entered HIS prisoners' genies, and to her frightful ooedi tion when she was seat back, which latter evidence was confirmed by a physician. The prisocen, who reserved their deforms, were committed for trial at the amius. Bail in 4001. was accepted. The male pri.oner is the fore nun of Messrs. Willman's silk factory. AN EXTRAORDINARY COM PROMISE. —At Durham aselz•ii • deaf old lady, who had brought an 'Leticia for damages agaiest her neighbour, was being examined, when the judge suggested a compromise, and instructed optimal to ask what she would take to settle the matter. "His lordship wants to know whet you will take?" asked the learned mussel, bawling as loud as he could in the old lady's ear. " I thank bis lordship kindly," asswerad the easitnt dame; "sad if it is no inconveoirnee to him, I'll take• little warm ale."—Skftleld Independent. HAMMEN/MITE AND CITY RAlLWAY.—Yesterday the half-yearly meeting was held at the Paddington Sta tion of the Great Western Railway ; Mr. T. R. Peaks is the chair. The report, which was unanimously adopted, recommended that a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, less income tax, be declared for the tall-year on the original stock of the company, and r•n the 5 per an•. pre ference shares of the 14ta April, 1861. non dividends an receivable from the Great Western sod Metropolitan Railway Companies, in accordance with the arrangement, approved by' the tors in February last, for the trawler of the undertaking. The draft of the deed by which that transfer is to be affrcted wee not yet is the hands of the directors, although they bad made repeated applioatioes for its completion. Ms directors were in formed that the del., was attributable entirely I. the great amount of business with silk& the counsel entrusted to draw the dead had been pressed, bat that the transfer would be completed almost immediately : The Great Western Company bad introduced a clause ,in their bill for the approaching session of parliament to dissolve WM eons pany, and should She bill pass, the company woaM setae to h►ve a separate corporation, sad the dividends would thenceforward be paid direct by the purchasing companies without t h e intercalation of the directors.
