There were two seem of murder, one in which a wife was charged with poisoaiog her hus band ; and the other where a woman was charged with the murder of her offspring, and, without desiring in any manner to prejudge the inquiry, it appeared to him that if the facts should he made out to the satisfaction of the grand jury, it would be their duty to put both these cues in a train to undergo fall inquiry before the petty jury. There was another case of a most 'melancholy character, ii which Sr. unhappy woman was charßed with attempting to destroy her three children and also herself; and, with regard to this tam, it we his duty to toll them that, although the dices stances of the ease might very reasonably produce the im premien that at the time such an act was committed the party committing it was not in such a state of minds a to render her criminally responsible, yet the grand jury hail no power to act upon such an impression, and it would be their duty, if the evidence made out the charge to their satis faction, to triettnit the awe to the petty jury, who alone, by a special enactment of the legislature, had the power to die ts:4e of the question of the sanity or insanity of the person amused, either upon the seraignmest of the prisoner or upon the evidence that was produced in: the coarse of the ease. His lordship, then reigned to one or two other cane la the Wender, after which the grand jury retired. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. THIS DAY. GUILDHALL. - - --- --- CRAIO3 OP Ito 88888 AND AbiIAPLT. —C.

The export of the precious metals from the port of London during the week ending Thursday lut was only 23,000 ounces of silver, in bars, shipped to Belgium. We have to record soother week of depression in the share market. The decline in prices which fol lowed the publication of the London and North Western accounts a fortnight ago has since continued with little interruption, and has received additional impetus from same rather considerable bong fide sales of stock thrown open the market by a few of the more timid holders. The distrust thus evinced, eembined with the general absence of buying on the part of the public, and the cha racter of the half monthly account, which, sostrary to general expectation, turned out to be on tivearable to an improvement, must be regarded as the sure proximate causes of the continued decline noticed in the value of railway property during the week. Yesterday and to-day, however, the market bas been decidedly better in tone, and hopes appear to be entertained in well-informed quarters that most descriptions of railway shares are now at their mini mum point of value in the market. The fall which has lately occurred in Berwieks is owing to rather heavy sales caused by a rumour that the forthcoming dividend will not exceed 2 per eent. per annum. The decline in Midland stock is said to be caused by sales on account of some of the Scotch banks; but the comparative steadiness of the SOL shares is attributable to the announcement made by the chairman at the meeting on Wednesday, that the call 0(51. will be postponed till July, and the belief that the directors are not unfavourable to a proposal for converting them into NI. shares, giving a gua rantee of 41. per cent. on the 201. uncalled. It is stated that the Lancashire and Yorkshire dividend will be 3 per cent., which will leave a surplus of about 3,0001. The amount of the railway call, this month is 1,315,3271., distributed as follows : Amt. per Share. 211,139 i i Due Already Number Da* paid.

At the adjourned half-yearly meeting, on Friday, the directors canted their point in resisting the attempt to place auditors over their heads by giving them access to the minute-book and acts of the board without subjectiag them to the responsibility of directors. The CHAIRMAN, having declared. unequivocally, the determination of himself and some of the other directors to resign rather than submit to 'course which implied suspicion and distrust, Mr. BLACHLOCK (one of the auditors), after tome hard words had been let slip from individual shareholders, advised that this point should not be insisted on, Ile said, had the auditors been appointed with powers merely to audit the accounts they might perhaps have dose it without insisting on seeing the minute book; but he contended that an examination of the minute book would have been neces sary to enable them to cony out their instructions. He said the company, however, was not in a state to afford the resignation of their directors ; and though they might have committed errors of judgment he believed they were actu ated by the best feelings for the interest of the dmpany. Mr. WRIGLEY (one of the directors) said he was one who would not be content to have this matter slurred ever, but would have it settled on principle. While he admitted the rights and privileges of shareholders, he contended that directors also had rights, and he demurred in the remarks of the chairman. For anything that was in the minute-book, it might lye exposed to public view in the fish market ; but to i t upon it lying open to the auditors or a consultation committee implied suspicion. If they suspected the directors, let them appoint a committee of investig ation — let that com mittee examine every document in tke company if they liked; but for God's sake let them prenonnce a verdict when they had done so. A continued inspection would W O O 7 continued suspicion and distrust of directors which would drive all men from the office except mere hirelings who might be content to hold it at any price. Under these circumstances, the parts of the directors re port excepted from approval at the last onetime were adopted, together with the accounts, and the resolution re commended by the committee for the appointment of a new committee of consultation was not pressed. Mr. Wm. Leaf, of Manchester, was appointed a member of the board ; and Mr. Blscklock (one of the auditor') and Mr. J. R. Kay were elected to ti;i up two other vacancies; Mr. Bromley Moore, of Liverpool, was invited to fill up the other vacancy : A meeting is to be convened on the 26th March to receive Mr. Moore's answer, and to give authority to raise the new capital by preference shares. YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK. The report of the directors of this line, to b- pre sented to the shareholders at the half-yearly meeting in York, on Thursday next, affords the following information on the affairs of this company : The accounts for the half year er.ding Dec. 31 show the result of the working of the railway for that period to have been as follows:—Receipts for passengers, mails, goods, cattle, and mineral traffic, and from miscellaneous 11011KIMP, 318,3361. Is. Id. Disbursements : debenture interer, and rents to Great North of England and Hartlepool Railways, 120,9741. 14s. Id.; waylsavee , government duty, ttter, and taxes, 21,2851. 15e. 2d.; working expenses, 135,6831. is. lld.; total, 277,9481. 14s. 2d. Leaving • net balance of 78,3871.65. Ild. In the third report of the committee of investigation, which was adopted by the shareholders, the ruin of 24,1372. was proposed to be deducted from the revenue account end ing the 31st of December in each year, in order to provide for the replacement of the permanent way. - 'Phis .am must therefore be deducted out of the balance of 7F,3871. Gs. 1 l d., unless the shareholder shall be of opinion, with the dire*. tors, that the 50,0001. recovered frem Mr. Hudson ehoulti be appropriated to that purpose. Tee directors state that they have given their best con• 'iteration to the mode in which the sum of 50,0001. re covered from Mr. Hudson, chiefly in respect of the premiums realised by him on the Newcastle and Berwick shares, can be made available to all daises of shareholders equitably entitled to participate in it, and they have come to the unanimous conclusion that the proper mode of dealing with that sum will be to employ it as • fund for the replacement of the permanent way, which will render unnecessary any deduction from the earnings of the railway for more than two years to come. As to the dividend the report says :—" Assuming that the shareholders adopt the opinion of the directors, and resehe to meet the first two years payments towards the permanent way fund cut of the 50,0001. received from Mr. Mitchell, it will leave available the 78,3571. 6s. Ild. net earnings of the half-year, out of which your directors recommend a dividend of 21 oer cent., which will amount to 67.5171. 9.., and leave a balance of 10,2211. Bs. 11d. to be carried to the credit of the next half-year, after paying 6481.9,. for interest on calls paid in advance on the extension stock." Since the Committee of Investigation made their final re port, founded on that of their accountant, Mr. Cotten', showing an available surplus of 7,968 i. 13s. 7d., on the 30th June, 1849, it has been ascertained that certain revenue debts, of considerable amount, which were represented to their accountant as good, may prove to be irrecoverable, and for which 8,0001. is set apart, and that certain charges against revenue which were then owing had been overlooked. It has been deemed advisable to keep these old accounts separate from the revenue accounts of the last half year; and. accordingly, they have been included in • supplementary account, which has been debited wilt all the known liabilities of the company, forming • charge against revenue, and credited with the above surplus, the interest due on calls applicable to the ue of the former half year, end dividends due to Mr. }badmen, which by the agreement made with him have bee ,me the property of the Company. Against this latter rum has been net off the expense. leathered by the committee of investiga tion and by the preliminary committee, as forming a proper charge against the sum recovered. A sum of 5,8001. is set apart to meet income tax claimed for former years, and sill unsettled, and 1.4741. for law expenses, applicable to the revenue of former years. It will be seen from the account refitted to that there will be fonds to meet all these old claims without interfering with the earnings of the past or future half years. It is highly desirable that the proportion of debt on which the company is paying interest at a per cent. should be re duced as early as practicable, and your directors will seek to' effect this as the existing debentures fall due. The value of this company's debentures is undoubtedly equal to that of any other railway in the kingdom, in as much as by the arrangement with the Great North of England Company, the debt of this company, up to 1,300,0001. (of which only about 1,000,0001. has been raised) is to take priority over the security to be issued to the Great North of England pro prietors. For this reason, your directors feel justified In looking to a gradual diminution under the head of interest upon debenture debt. The board are anxious that the capital account should be closed with the least possible delay ; and they hope this may be socomplished for all practical purposes on the 30th of June neat. The directors an not sufficiently convinced of the necessity for the Tyne Docks to recommend their formation at pre sent, believing that the pressure of shipment at South Shields may be relieved to a considerable extent by the erection of additional staiths at that harbour; and as the contract for these docks was entered into at • time when materials and wages were very high,' they deemed it ad visible to deter mi ne that arrangement by an amicable cons promise with the contractor. The directors think it right to mention, that in a few weeks the connexion between the Great Mardian and York and North Midland H uilways will be so far completed as to give • new route from London end the eastern did:date to the north of England and Scotland ; and in 01111 lOU's, of di simmer this route will be still further improved. This must have the effect of causing an accession of new traffic over thin line of this company. The completion of the high level bridge and station if Newcastle, and the permsneet bridge at Berwick, will afece facilitate traffic by the eastern line. The Sunderland dock to expected to be open in about two months, and the thereasedl mespaponryt,,swiihni.ch will be highly steitticia. be questions in dispute, between th is co Abgru m oasi pa ithi n itety y moot an fvnect d roat t olsh i s e t:c d or i l rectors of the Sunderl and Dock Cont. pany, has been effected on terms which are expected th prove mutually advantigeous. The directors have given much consideration to the posi tion of those shareholders who have paid up in full thein Great North of England purchase shares; and tit. y have come to the conclusion, that although those parties have nit strictly legal claim to any preferable dividend, yet, tithing all the circumstances into account, it would be fair to them, and not unjust to the other shareholders, to allow then interest at the same rate as will be payable to the Oust North of Zealand company, viz., 4 per cent. per annum oft so much (Atha shares as *hall continue to be paid in advance; and the ort:inary rate of divi lend on the amount call it up from time to time, until the whole amount of the calls be paid. RAILWAY RILLS ON STANDMO Ottesitc.—The stied committee have decided in the cue of the Rut and Weed India auks and Birmingham Junction Railway, that the proving of certain matters before the railway commissioners prior to applica'ion to parliament may be dispensed with. and that the standing . refers may be dispensed with in the case of the Caledonian and Edinburgh end Cilsegow Amal gamation; second readirg to be exteeded to the 18th inst.
