Ace.-rdiegly Captain Plaskett, with one or two Mends, repaired to Ediaburgh. In entering on the negotiations they at One* admitted with respect to some heavy liabilhies incurred by *he directors, that the committee hay's; bad those I* Wakes under their consideration, bad acquitted the directors of all moral and tr.rsonel blame, and that it was right • that pert , * concerned should be made to release these from their responsibility. With this view the enmities suite, sled that a certain number of gentlemen representing the Loudon shareholders should the admitted into the board in lien of the same numbs , of ;the existing directors, a given number of the old directors remainiug at the board to watch over the proceedings which a ff ected th eir own interest, bat with the understand ing that they should net exercise any discretion or give say vote in reference to the geoenl manage :a. at of the company's affairs To this the oireetors distal; replied that it would sot be consistent with their characters at sondem* to stand in that position ; that they could not sit there fettered with regard to the morn important matters ; and that, as they would be opposed to the majority, such • state of things might have the effect ot &ludic' the public with regard to the constitu tion of the board. He therefore said, with the unanimous consent of his cAleagues, that the only direct and straight forward course open to the directors was that of retinae alb-getter, and leaving the election of new directors in the heads el the diarsholden. He bad been messed of a west of madear is his former statements with regard to the Barrhead and Neilson The facts of the ease were them.

Q.C., called attention to the fourth paragraph, to the retention of which ho objected, on the ground that it would bind the. . company to defend the directors against the consequences of their own mis deeds. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON, M.P., said it was about twelve =oaths since he accepted the office of • director. He was perfectly willing to retire ; but before doing so be implored them as men of business to weigh well the conse quences of their acts en that or:mime. (Hear, hear ) lie warned them that a contest in parliament would be attendesi net only with a vett deal of trouble and anxiety, but a:so with enormous expense. (Hear. hear.) Although the cooduct cf the directors might have been wasteful and extran3ant, yet there was no blot on their integrity. (Cheers) He hid been glad to hear Capt. Plaskett declare that in his judgment no moral t-int attached to the board. Let the shareholder now turn their efforts in a practical direction. Liaoilities to the extent of 2,000,0001 had bean reduced to about 410,0001., and a capital of 6,000,0001 bad been reduced in the seine proportion. Without great care it would be of little use to elect Lew directors, for tieir af fairs would bo thrown into Chancery. It the interest or. the debenture* caning due a few months hence were not paid, the concern would go into the baues f Co ocery, and • receiver would be appointed. (H-ar, hear.) Under such circumstances the proper course would be to let bygmrs be by. gone.. (L mghtes.) Lientlernea might laugh, but slew months might bring the realisation of his prophecy. (" Wo cannot be verve.") Ye. they might be wove. (Hear, beer.) Their property was in great jeopardy. (A laugh, and a voieeth• It is gone.") He would suggest that the meeting should 'recant two or three gentlemen to communicate with the central committee, with a view of forming from that committee, and the direction, or the body of the share holders. • board which would secure confidence and stability to their property.

He said that his first nun was hypothetical. lie begged to put it to Mr. Aiderman Thompson whether he would accept a seat at the board.

THE SUSPECTED POISONING OF A MAN BY 1118 WIFE Yoterday morning, at 12 o'clock, the adjourned inquiry was messed ier the third time, at the Fountain Tames, Upper Cliptos, relative to the death of James Mer ritt, aged 34 years, a turnoteek in the employ of the East London Water Company, who died en Thursday, the 24th alt., hem the effete of arsenic, alleged to have been adsni nisteted se kin by his wife Ann Merritt, who stands re maudoel imtU Saturday ant, charged with having caused her Imebstere ffeat. Tha Carom said Whirs he proceeded in examining the numerous witnesses he would inform the jury that since their last meeting he had noticed a communication from Mr. Andrew*, the summoning officer, that the deceased's father had died suddenly, under precisely similar cinema stances, and that auspicious had arisen that she had poi ooed her father-in-law, as well as her husband. He had thers• fore deemed it neormary to order the disinterment of the body, a postmortem examination, and oleo an analysis cf the contents of the stomach, to ascertain if possible it there was any foundation for the rumours. He did not intend to call witnesses in that 4889 at the present inquiry, but should empanel a fresh jury at a future time. ' The following additional evidence was then adduced : Impeder Janus Coward, cf N division, doomed, that on Saturday morning, about half-past 9 o'clock, in consequence of a ansiausileadost he received from Mr. Grounds, jun., the son of a chemist, in Hackney, be re sired to the deceased home, accompanied by Mr. Grounds, jar., and eolinsmostable Clarke. Witness left Mr. Grounds outside the house and then seat for several respeetablo married women, for the purpose of being present at an interview with Mrs. Merritt. On their arrival witness asked Mn. Merritt it the diseased had used any minis in his business, or if she wee aware that there bad been gay in the house lately. She replied that there bad bean none is the house sins the death of her poor dear fatheria-law. He had some in a p ekes, which he destroyed, and which she believed he threw dawn the water closet. Witness asked her if she had purchased any merit latterly, to which she mid certainly not. Mr. Grounds was then coiled in, and the instant she saw him, she turned dreadfully pale, and was extremely agitated. Mr. Grounds immediately recognised her as being the person who bad purchased two-oen'iworth of arsenic at his shop, about two weeks since. She then said : . I did purchase the arsenic, and I'll tell you for what purpose." Wilms' left bar in the custody at poliss-consteWe Claske, and on his return in • few minutes afterwards, he told her she must go to the police station. Oa her way to the station the volun tarily said: " tell you what I purchased the arsenic for. I bought it for Myself, and I intended to take it. My poor fellow (mewing the deceased) was very fond of soda and acid end Mr. Totting la aware of it." :N4 liners then asked her it she had not taken the arsenic, what bad become of it ? She answered that she emptied one of the packets into the other, and placed it in a cupboard in her room, end burnt the paper, which contained one of the packets. She further added that a female residing down the Loa Bridge•road, to whom her husbaad owed 10L, bad told her that the deceased frequently said he was eo troubled at times that he had a great mind to jump into the canal, or Claptot. pond. From what witness had beard, he asked her if she had purchased either of the packets of arsenic for her sister, and the replied, certainly not. Mr. Frederick W. Grounds, said he was an assistant to his father, a chemist, in Church street, Hackney. About a fortainht since Mrs. Merritt entered the shop, and asked for twopenny worth of &nude, which witness refused to serve her with. She said, I want it to poison rats and mice, and I have frequently had it from your father. If ye.o mention my name to him you will find it all right." She then guys him her name, and witness then served her with what she required. By the Coroner—While witness was serving her, she wised him to put the arsenic up in two different packe.s, as one was for her sister, who was infested with mice, and that she could not obtain any arsenic in the neighbourhood where she was living. Witness put up half an ounce of wLite arsenic in each packet, and attached to both a label, marked " Poison." Mary Gillett, the wife of a labouring man, residing in the adjoining house to the deceased, said that she knew the deceased's father, and saw him alive on Saturday the '29th of September last. lie died on the following Cay, and for the last few hours, previous to his death, he was suffering from paias, and under similar circumstances to the deceased. By the Coroner—The deceased belonged to a benefit society, and early on the morning of his death Mrs. Merritt 'polled to the society for the burial money, and received M. 155., a p.irtion pith's= she was entitled to on the death of 11.. r husband. By the Jury—Witness could not undertake to say that the deceased's father belonged to the society. Other witnesses were examined, but their evidence was of no importance. The Coroner said some further time was accessary to enable the polies to make further inquiries, and it won!d therefore be necessary to adjourn again. In the interim the body of the deceased's father would i.e thoroughly examined, and the results laid before soother jury. The inquiry was accordingly adjourned until Monday next. Mid street, GI THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUBB. Foaling Lonaulge.-11e. Charles Ilatistnond, of No. 76.

Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prose maim, and Mr. Huddlestone for the defence. The justice. room was crowded by gentlemen, who were drawn together in consequence of the surmised mischiefs arising from the occasional encouragement given to such speculations in this *matey. Mr. Bodkin, in addressing Alderman Humpbery, said—l appear hare in support of the summons which be. been just read, by the direction of the Secretary of State for the Home Department, it being the determination of the govern ment to suppress that which is in reality a lottery, and calcu lated to inflict all the laiuries of speculations of this kind, although it purports is be a plan merely for the promotion of the arts and Irdormen. Representations hod been made to the g vornment to the effect that an evil which had been already by law abolished wu In danger of being revived, and brought into operation under another form, and the police force bad bens censequently ordered to adopt mea sures for its effectual removal. In the first instance, biters. Wolstenholme and Co., the firm employed in London by the proprietors of the foreign lottery, bad been applied to by en emissary for a ticket, but they stated that they only sold tickets by wholesale, or in limeys' Millets; they however retorted the applicant to Mr. Hammond, a Customhouse agent, as a person who could accommodate him with a single ticket. Mr. Hammond, upon learning that the customer was referred to him by Mears. Woletenholtne, sold him a ticket, upon which he paid the first lusts:- cunt of fie. ed. Now this ticket was issued, or pretended to be baud, on behalf of the state lottery of Berlin, and there eon be no doubt that such lottery is a lottery within the meaning of the 6th Geo. 11 , cap. 35, sec. 20, which enacts that any person convicted of the offence of selling tickets, thereon shall forfeit the sum of 2001. for every such offence, and imprisonment for 12 months. My friend Mr. Huddle stone has intimated to me that thesummons has been served upon Mr. Hammond, jun , 'legend of that gentleman's father, end therefore I cannot support it. I should, under sock circumstances, apply for a new summons, but that I am instructed to lay that the government are satisfied that the accused is a nuns( respectability ; that he was not aware that in Wiles the tickets he was attic" in violation of the law, sad that he hes given up all intention of again trans ironing. I therefore beg to suite, upon the part of the government, that it is not intended to proceed mg dust Mr. Hammond, but it is necessary that the public should be made acquainted with the fact, that it is the determination in every future case of the kind to follow up the prosecution, the penalties seeing from a consiction in which were severe and incapable of the slightest mitigation by the magistrate. It is the hope of the government, 1 am bound to add, that this intention upon their part will be through the ruse made universally known through net the country. Mr. Iluddlestone—My learned friend is right in designs t:ng my client as a person of respectability. Ile is a gentlemen commenting business with a highly respectable connexion, and was concerned in hie tra,le in the shipping of articles ref. reed to in this Idtery. M. ears. Wolstenh.lme were not, it is proper that I should say, at all aware that the sale of tieke's i.t the time was au illegal act, anti the defendant's father was Hut as ignorant of its illegality, but recily considered that by selling tickets he was contributing to a certain extent in diffusing the advantages of commercial enterprise; end the moment he had learned that as act was In force against the practice, he gave directions that not one more ticket ',cold be sold. Aldermen Humphery—Then I am to understand that the defendant and his father underteke to stop the sale altogether ?--Mr. —Certainly. Mr. Bodkin—The government adopted a coarse similar to that upon which 1 think it necessary to act respecting the sweepstakes, which have canoed so much speculation and comment, end which have bee n, it not altogether aban doned, materially diminished. Alderman Hamphery—l trust the ge:Alemen to whom Ithis cue refers will he thankful for the kindness shown to them by the crown, and use their best endeavours to put a stop to everything of such a tendency. 1 more particularly request their attention ;to this hint, as I have just received rose the Lord Mayor some letters which were addressed to his lordship from the country, enclosieg ecrip headed original certificates of a grand money distribution, sanctioned and guaranteed by an imperial government. Now if ever any case of this kind be brought before me-, I shell immediately enforce the penalty, and feel satisfaction that it wet rot be in my power to miti3ate it, but that I shall be compelled to vindicate the law.

ROBERTS, BAlltr.:o7 - CiLDA - CitE - -tEOVI - E - TO RECOVER THE . , VALVE OP ♦ RACI4HORII. This was an action of trover to recover the value of a rase hone called " Tenby." The plaintiff, Sr Thomas Rabi', sent the horse in question, last May, to the stables of the de fenJant, who keeps the Bull Inn, at Barleselen•green. It was attended by a groom in the plaintiff's service, and both the horse and groom rem sined at the defen , dies until the following September. The plaintiff, who had shortly Defoe become an iusolvent paid 101. on account, and 011 the 4th of fi.pzember, in an interview with the defendant, in the presence of en artist named Buckingham, it was admitted that the defendant was entitled to a balance of 171. 10s. for the keep of the kine and groom. The plimitiff tendered that sem and demanded the horse but the defendant refused to let it go until be was paid a fu rther sum of 19s. 91 for shoeing, and also U. for staki s which the defendant alleged he had paid the clerk of the Barnet run, ;for which the horse had been entered. Tenby" lost that race as lie had many others. Sir Thomas Roberts refused to pay either of the sums claimed, on the ground that he Mote was responsibis to the fattier, and the clerk of the races and that the defendant should not have paid either without the plaintiff's previous authority. The horse was ultimately sold at Tattersall's at a very low figure. It was now ma tended then it was worth at least 70 or 80 guiLeas, but it was suggested on behalf of the defendant that it could not have been so valuable, as it was purchased in March, 1149, by the plaintiff for 141. from one of his assignees, the Insolvent Coati having assented. The farrier who shod the horse whilst it was at the defendant's stables, deposed that he hid never heard of Sir Thomas Roberts, and that the work bad been done on the credit of the defendant, who had paid the witness for it last October. As to the stakes. it appeared the plaintiff wished his horse to be entered for the Edgware races but that he could not do so according to the rules of the turf, while en, entrance fee remained unpaid, and that there was an entrance fee of 61. due by Lim to the clerk of the Barnet races. It therefore became necessary to have that fee paid in order to carry out the plaintiff's desire to enter the /three. The Lord Chief Baron, in summing up, Kid the only question was, whether the defendant was lewdly entitled to demand more than 17i. 10s. when that sum wee tendered in the month of September last, and whether he wu entitled to detain the horse, as the additional sums had net been . . The jury remained in consultation for two hours end a half, and ultimately returned a verdict for the defendant. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. NEW COURT.—YiiiiTEADAT. Baum ras Cosmos SLUE/JOT. BIOAIIY. Thomas Broom, 34, plasterer, pleaded guilty to an indict ment for bigamy with Catherine Wilson, his wife being then and now alive.

The witness shook her head, seeming very much to doubt his lurdsh.p's authority as to her right and title.

The advice. from the western coast of America— ' from Lima and Velparatiao—speak of all descriptions of plain cloths as especially in abundance, ll arge supplies having been transhipped to these places which hail been emit out last year In antkipatton of a more considerable demand from California.

Under these circumstances we have had but a quiet market ion exports; and though spinners and manufacturers have been well voider contract for the home trade, orders arc running out and getting scarcer, and producers seem again more helloed to bold oath, from an opinion that .he cotton market will give way.
