John Cox, a man about 35 years age, and describing himself a. a hawker from Itasibul, Berkshire, was brought up on remand, before Mr. Maude, charg Al with gaining ad mittance to the house of Mr. John Kensington, • gentle man residing at Charlton, for an unlawful purpose, under pretence of having been sent to look at the gas. From the evidence given it appeared that on Friday afternoon last the prisoner rang the door bell, whim was answered byYarb Stiles, the servant, to whom he stated that be had been sent from Woolwich to look to the gag. The servants wore engaged at the time in pecking up the furniture, the family being about to remove, and on the prisoner being admitted he proceeded into the kitchen, where under pretence of wishing . to see the lady of the house privately, he succeeded i n getting rid ef the servant for • short time. On the return of the servant and the gardener, • parcel was observed packed up reedy fur removal, which had not been observed previous to the prinoner admittance into the home, and as it appeared the servant had been called back when about going to tell her mistress that she was wanted, the prisoner made another ...plicatin to see Mrs. Kensinton, and af terwards severel,d in making his escape. lidermation was then given to the police with • description of the prisoner, and OLI the following, morning police-constable Moore, 164 it, apprehended him at Lewislmm, when on being told the nature of the charge against him, he denied having been In the neighbourhood of Charlton at the time stated, or in any person's house. The prisoner now admitted being at the residence of the prosecutor, but denied that he said he had been sent to look at the pa, The witness Stiles said she could nut be mistaken in what she had stated, fur the prieouer told her twice that he had been sent for that purpose, before she admitted him. Mr. Maude said that had it been clearly proved that the property found packed up in the kitchen had been so packed up by the prisoner he should certainly have felt it his duty to have committesi him for trial. As it was, there was no doubt in his (Mr. Maude's) mind that the object be had in view was an unlawful one, and he would therefore be ire prieened sod kept to hind labour in Maidstone gaol for three months. The prttooer, without making may remark, wee thee removed.

A bill for making railways between the London, Brighton, and South Coast and Direct Portsmouth Railways and Hayling Ferry, for the construction of harbours and docks, and for other I RMRAIRRAN, in opening the proceedings, said that the bills No. 3 and No. 6 were not yet in a fit state in parlia ment to be submitted to the meeting, and that No. 7 had been abandoned ; while, regarded the regard the others, the fullest explanations had Leen given at a general meeting. The solicitor of the company, Mr. FAITHFUL, then read the heads of bills Nos. 1,2, 4, and 5. lu answer to questions, the CH•trinan stated that by the first Lill power was given to do certain works which were deemed necessary for the purpose of improving the com pany's communications, that the clauses were permialiee, that the expenditure authorised was 350,00 W., and that he thought the whole of that amount would be required. A resolution approving of the bill was passed nasal mnusly. In moving that the second bill be approved, the Crtanutsai observed that the branch authorised by it would be very advantageous to the company, would be five miles in length, and would cost about 100,00 W. It was proposed long ago, sal hod at length been sanctioned in parliament. The reo.lution was unanimously adopted. As regarded bill No. 4, the CHAIRMAN remarked that the line was to be made in conjunction with the South Western Railway Compauy, and that consequently there could be no competition. The bill was approved, as was also bill No. 5. The meeting was then adjourned till Thursday: the 21st of June, at 1 o'clock, for the consideration of bills Nos. 3 and 6. . . . . A special meeting was then held for the purchase of the Lewes and ("eh&ld mid Micl.fiuseex Railways, which ware already !sisal iu perpetuity at 4 per cent. per annum. The CHATRIIAN having explained that what was proposed was simple a subetitution of a preferential dividend of 4 per cent for the existing rent charge, so that the lines would become the actual property of the London and Brighton Compaey, Resolutions for carrying out the object were adopted wassilmonsly. In reply to a question, The Cruntirtn sank that every branch line which the cow. parry latdconstrueted paid quite as well as,if not better than, the min tine. He furthermore observed that there was no truth in the rumour which had been circulated that he was shoat to resign the chairmanship of the board. The proceedings terminated in the usual !sinner.
