Immediately upon the magistrate (Mr. Arnold) taking his seat on the bench this morning, a middle-aged man, of very shabby exterior, addressed him as follows ;—" My name, sir, is Wemyss Jobson. I have two applications to make to you, sir, while I claim your kind attention. I trust aleoyou will not be prejudiced by my miserable appearance, which has been caused by long incarceration in gaol. I have may just emerged from the House of Correction, after two years' coefinement, and now come here for the redrew to which I am entitled for the 'rouge I have endured. Mr. Arnold—What were you committed fer Applicant—For the publication of an alleged libel. But before proceeding to that, 1 beg to make application for some property taken from me at the time of my ap prehension. I have been much in America, and it is not unusual there to go about with a bowie knife. I had one while there which I brought to England, and was cutting some papers with it at the time I was taken. The officer took posaaision of the knife, which lies never beep restored to me. Mr. Arnold—You must apply to the police. Applicant—l have done so • but have been enable to recover it. I was told that t he e property taken from pri severs was sold at the end of every year, and that my knife had been disposed of, which is very unjust. Mr. Arnold—l must refer you to the police on that sub ject. Whst is your other complaint? Applicant—l want a warrant for perjury against the parties upon whose evidence I was consigned to a gaoL Mr. Arnold—Against whom do you want warrants, and under what circumstances? Applicant—l went warrants against Mr. Benjamin Dis raeli, Sir 1611101 Fergusson, his uncle, who is married to my niece and who has defrauded me of 40,0001., sod an inspector of police named Bray, who wee suborned to give evidence to suit their purpose. Mr. Arnold—Upon what occasion was this? Applicant—When Mr. Disraeli appeared u a witness against me. I now ask for warrants against them all. Mr. Arnold—l must have the information on oath of two witnesses in writing before I can act. Applicant—That is impossible. Mr. Arnold—Then I can do nothing. Applicant—l can prove what I have stated myself. Mr. Arnold—The law requires that complaints of this description should be supported upon the evidence of two penons, and I never grant warrants or summonses for per-. lury without the information in writing of two witnesses duly sworn before me. ..ipplicant—Tiave Mr. Disraelia handwriting u proof against himself, and I cap give evidence against the Oaten, had .urely that is sufficient. Mr. Arnold—lf you can produce documentary evidence which proves the case, it is sufficient, but I must decline to entertain any applimtion of this description, unless proved in the way I have described. Applicant—My sight is much injured by my long impri 'cement ; but I believe I am speaking to Mt. Arnold Mr. Arnold—Yes. Appi*X;;;:ll;en I shall call you u a witness. Mr. Amokl—Then I must decline to listen any further to Sour applications, and must refer you to another magis trate. Applicant—Then I shall apply to the Home-office to request the Secretary of State to induce you to do your duty. Mlr. Arnold— You will stand down, sir. Applicant—l wish still further to say— Mr. Arnold—l cannot listen to any more, I have told you what to do. Applicant—I shall apply to another magistrate, and shall certainly summon you as a witness, fur yon heard the perjury. Applicant then withdrew. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT ON THI TRAM Ef4. (THIS DoT.)—At as early hour this morning a melancholy accurreace took place some miles down the river, off Holy Haven. A veasel, called the Vesta, was heating op the river from Wales, when she went ashore near the Haven, and the crew immediately proceeded to put a kedge out in order to get her off. They lowered the boat, and were in the act of arranging the kedge when a smack cams foul of them. The boat was instantly capsized and two of the poor fellows were drowned. THE CONDEMNED PRISONERS, FLOOD AND HUNNl serr.—Up to the time of going to press (rye the Sussex Adrtrtior of to-day) no instructions whatever have bees received at the county prison either from the Home Secre tary or the high sherd! of the county relative to the moo nset, passed upon the above prisoners at the last Melia. The prisoner John Flood, it will be remembered, ints sentenced to death for the wilful murder rd another soldier. named O'Dea, at Brighton ; and the woman , lel Sarah Hunnisett, likewise received a similar sen tence for the murder of her child, at Mayfield. In her cam the jury accompanied their verdict with a moommendation to toerrY, and there are matins for believing it will have due weight at head quarters, and that her sentence will be commuted to penal servitude for life. In Flood's case no rdeh recommendation emanated from the jury, but strong efforts are being made, by means of memorials, tac., for a commutation of hie sentence. According to the Rents usual on these oecasiona, the execution will y take pl ace a b out Tuesday, the 26th inst., unless e HOMO B ccretary orders otherwise. Both prisoners are closely watched, and hare each two persons constantly in Wen- Mace upon them. The prisoner Flood, whose case is ex- • mail; so much interest, swim very penitent, and is stated to conduct himself in every respect in a maser becoming the awful position in which he is placed.

The second ordinary meeting of the shareholders ti held this morning at the offices of the company, No. 6, Victoriaotreet, Westminster; the Duke of BUCKINGHAM and CHANDOB in the chair. The report, which has already been published, was taken as read. The noble CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, recapitu lated the negotiations which the directors had commenced with the Poet-office, and afterwards with the railway com panies, and which bad ended in a proposal from the North Western Company to the following effect " The railway company engage to use the tube as WOO &A laid down, for so muc h of their traffic as they find they mu advmtageoudy transmit through it, provided the speed be not less than 15 mike en hour, the rate of charge per ton per mile for transit service to be agreed upon between the parties, not exceeding the present rate. The railway company also agrees to grant sites for sta tions at Camden and Easton, rent free. All the collecting, distributing, loading, and unloading of goods, would continue to be performed by the company, or its AMU, AS at present, the duty of the Pneumatic Despatch Company being limited to the transit service." The direc tors lied also entered into a very beneficial arrangement with Messrs. Pickford and Co. for the a tion of a sufficient portion of their premises in reshansatreet. The North Western Company had afforded the board every opportunity for ascertaining bow much of the traffic would be suitable for transmission through the pneumatic tf , s oi t and they found that a much pester amount of it i be available than they had anticipated. They had also satisfied themselves that they could easily, if required, reach a speed of 25 miles an hour. The Pcstmaater- General, while declining to bind himself to any polities, engagement, had expressed himself willing to avail himself of the tubes, if they HOTS laid down. The directors were much disappointed at not being able to in duce the government departments to agree to a general adoption of their scheme. They had no doubt, however, that the value of the invention would soon induce them to patronise it on a larger scale. It was proposed, in the first place, to lay down between Eustonaquare and the branch mat-office in Eversholtatreet the tube which was now at Battersea, and he hoped that that would be ready for use in two or three months. Captain HOISH seconded the motion. _ _ . . Peron did not think that the tube would answer for the carriage of parcels over short distemoss; and he protested against placing it on the premises of the railway or of Messrs. Pickford. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM said the statistics from which the calculation of the directors had been made only included the parcels sent direct from Easton-square to Eversholt street and Gresham-street. The Pneumatic Company would be able to collect and despatch parcels more expeditiously than anyone else, and they would therefore have the next best thing to guarantee—the means of competing on most advantageous terms with everybody who carried parcels to the Easton railway station. Mr. PENTON was still of opinion that the best thing the company could do would be to break up the whole concern and divide the money that was left, be that much or little. Mr. CORDON did not, of count, wish to throw cold water on the scheme ; but from a consideration of the finances of the company he did not feel sanguine of moans. The offer from the North Western Company really came to nothing. Captain Helen said the railway company no more wished to be in the hands of this company than this oompany wished to be in their. But they had shown the directors bow much traffic would go through the tube, and the price which they would Five for conveying it. With times data before them, the directors of this company were satisfied that the scheme would be a great stomas. After some further discussion, The motion for the adoption of the report was agreed to, and the retiring officers were reelected. LONDON AND BLACKWALL RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) The half-yearly meeting of this company waa held at noon at the London Tavern, Mr. J. N. Dairmx in the chair. The rePort, which has been already published, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN said there was much in the present posi tion of the company which he thought must be satisfactory to them all. They had hitherto dealt • good deal in prospect, but the seed they had sown with such difficulty for some time past was now producing fruit. He did not speak largely of the rocrentag dividend, because that was not of itself a matter of great importance, but he thought it was of importance when they considered that in the present year the general traffio car all railways had been so indifferent as to reduce the dividends on almost every railway in the kingdom. Asother point wee that the goods traffic, of which they had thought so much and for which they had made pre=tions so long, and which were now completed, had not carried out at all by the Midland, and in but • trilling degree by the Great Northern. The financial position of the company was satisfactory. He thought he might say that the whole of the 44 per cent. guaranteed shares were taken up, and 18,000 of them were paid in full, so that they wen in • fair way to put themselves right with their beaten, and to be more independent than when they were under the weight of • loan. He did not know that there was anything parti cular in the accounts which he need thee refer to, there mu • diminution in the exponent, but there was trot a great deal to be said on that point, because the expenses vaned. In conclusion, he moved that the report be received sad adopted. Mr. MACNAGHTEN seconded. Mr. Prawn thought they were not quite in so favour able • condition as the report made them appear to be. He thought there was still room for a considerable diminution in the expenses. He noommended the directors to abolish the system of return tickets, and said be thought the prospects of the line so good that thaw holders of ordinary stoat who had converted their stock into four-and-shelf percent. preference shares would soon regret that they had done so. The motion was then agreed to. A dividend at the rate of three per cent. upon 1,382,2101. consolidated stock and of 3e. per share, being at the some rate oa the new capital, ens then declared payable on and after Wednesday, the 13th. The CHAIRMLII thee moved a resolution converting into ordinary stock at la per share, in accordance with the coadltioas on whin' they were kilned, all the sew shares (1800$ which have not been converted into preferene ebeeee, sod ecovertieg into preference stock at Bt. 10a per share all than shares which have been converted from new shares (UM into preference shares. The neolutioa peered unanimeany. Mr. IP. W. Haigh was then sleeted • director is the plan of Mr. Jonah Wilson, demised: and a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors having been agreed to the meeting sepaisled.

The dividend on Caledonian Railway stock was officially announced yesterday at the rate of five per cent. per annum, being the sane as that declared for the corresponding period of 1861. The stock has not been affected in price. The subjoined circnhir was sent last evening to the shareholders in the Bank of Queensland. It disposes satisfactorily of certain adverse state ments which have received a hasty publicity. The preliminary expenses, as we are informed, will reach less than half the amount alluded to. The subscription for the shares in this hank was closed on Saturday, and amounts to considerably more than the total capital. The allotment will be pro ceeded with as soon as possible : TO THZ BOBSCRIZZES or ran 3LNE Or QUIEZNISLAND (crierrun). Gentlemen,—With reference to a ooneepondenoe whirls ham appeared in the Times between Mr. Mackay and myself, as secretary of the Bank of Queensland (limited), lam re quested by the board of directors to inform you that, being to no way responsible for statements made by Mr. Foster to Mr. Mackay previous to the formation of the board, they declined to enter into any explanations with Mr. Mackay beyond denying that they were cognisant of snob statements. Since, however, Mr. Mackay has thought fit to publish the correspondence, the directors have instructed me to state to you very positively that no donctur of any kind has ever been offered to them, that they have never agreed to pay anything like 10,0001. for the preliminary expenses of the bank, that they one and all repudiated the demand for this amount immediately it was brought before them, and further, that no such remuneration as 1,500/. was ever pro mised to, or asked by the broker. Under all the circum stances of the case, and with a wish for the ultimate pros perity of the hank, Mr. Foster has resigned his seat at the Ward, and his resignation has been accepted. —I am, &c., 8.

It is understood , that, in consideration of the un propitious state of the market, ' the Moldavian Rail way project is postponed. The deposits will be returned in full. _ . At a meeting yesterday of the shareholders in the Argus Life Office, held at the London Tavern, a resolution was passed by a large majority for alter ing the deed of settlement, with a view to an amal gamation with the Eagle Office. Amalgamations have latterly become very numerous amongst life assurance companies, and appear, in the majority of instances, to be highly advisable, having regard to the great competition which now prevails in this class of business, and to the material saving of working expenses which arrangements of this kind usually occasion. A meeting of the shareholders in the Great Luxembourg Company is called for the 19th inst. at the London Tavern, preparatory to a special meeting convened for the 28th at Brussels. The proposals to be decided upon are of an important character. _ _ _ _ _ ---.—..

THE WEATHER AND THE HARVEST. —A sudden and somewhat severe check has been given during the lest week to the very lovely summer weather which had just let in. Strong indications of a storm became apparent ea Wednesday, and on that afternoon and the following day the wind blew with a force almost amounting to a burnous. whilst the rain descended in torrents. Little or no rase, however, has fallen since Friday, and the temperature se maimed moderately high. Harvest may be now be said be be general throughout the county of Sussex. A considerable breadth of wheat has already been cut, and in a very fewdays, should the weather prove favourable, a good deal will have been cleared in good condition. TLe reports from differeat districts are very conflicting. From a careful analysis et the statements which reach us, we arrive at the unclad= that the wheat crop is not likely to exceed a fair average. Of barley and oats the accounts are generally far owe favourable ; the latter indeed are extremely well spokes 4 and the crops are said to be good in bulk sad quality. In exposed places the heavy storms of wind and m in of lest week have produced their natural results. As • rule, however, the damage has been lees then might have been anticipated, and the harvest ie se little advanced that the rain is held by many to have done, upon the whole, good rather than harm. The pastures have been considerably refreshed by the sinuses and look all the better for the soaking they have bad. From the hop districts there are varied accounts, aoceedieg to the localities. The Sasses reports are perhaps, o• the whole, the most satisfactory. There is still a remarkable absence of vermin and diseue, and although the heavy winds of the past week have in exposed situations battered the bine and blown down the poles, no permanent damage of any extent amens to have been sustained, while the effect of the eosins( rains has been undeniably beneficial. The eatiandel in East Sussex do not in any degree point to a kegs crop. On the contrary, a moderate growth only num anticipated, and there is admitted much slack bine. From some parte of Kent the reports are satisfactory, but is others the mould continues to spread and this will tell both as regards guilty and quantity. In Herefordshire and Worcester there are serious complaints, end the growers io the latter county appear almost to be themselves to • blight. tinder the combined influence these various circumstances things are looking up is the Borough, and there is an iacreasiog demand with better prima.--Sisesex ddeertiwr. Tux COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL—WiIIiam ICLeod, the only survivor from the foundered ship Host* dates that the ship had arrived at Falmouth with • gorge of sugar, from Bahia on the 4th. She received orders far Rotterdam, and left Falmouth between ii and 6 o'clock ea Wednesday evening, when the wind ens westerly. As she advanced op Channel it veered more to the southward, and blew very hard. The crew were in consequence called up shortly after 11 o'clock the same evening to reef topsails_ When they warehauliag out the reef-tackles of the fore-top. mil it warn split by. en the wind. The men had just finished irt*/a w towed wh those aloft mw a light approach neFinding that it was green (which indicated deem), they all went on deck. Ca in Nicholson called ties aft. but WLeod stopped a few seconds to leeward of the mainmast, "to see what the approaching ship was =4 . do." The Daphne struck the Moulin &hilt the tot and cut her right down to the main hatch. When the col lision occurred M'Leod clung to some of the gear forward. and by that means got over the Daphne's bow. He then turned to look oat, and within two minutes observed the wreck of his ship going down, and heard her ill-fated crew utter one fearful shriek, when all was over. The list of those lost is es follows :—Mordock Nicholson, master; Joba Stelburg, mate : Donald Nicholson, second mate ; Murdock Nicholson, appreotke ; David Blair, carpenter; Joseph King, cook and steward ; John M'Aulay, John Snuthooat, John Horne, James Hathaway, Philip Dupri, Henry Henrickeon, and Charles Butcher, able seamen ; and Charles Johnson, William Evans, and Charles Fife, ordinary seaman. Had the Moulin been provided with self-reeling topsails, which are speedily rolled or unrolled from the deck, it is probable that the approaching ship would have been sooner observed, and that the great loss of life would not have occurred. It often happens that while one pore tion of • crew is engaged aloft, those below are watching them, and that there is consequently no efficient lo* out. VY STRANGE, CASE or SUSPENDED ANIMATION.—A strange calm of this nature occurred a few days ago in Dab , lie, the sufferer being as old 1101111111 over sixty years of age.

The coroner ex amined the body, and moos found that there was a slight action of the heart, almost imperoeptibls. He immediately called for "weedy, warm water, sad towels, and directed those present to rub her limbs.
