REPORTS OF MINING COMPANIES. WALLED. GOLD WINE. The directors of the Waller Gold Mining Com pany have just published and circulated amongst the shareholders the plan and sections of their mines, drawn up by Mr. Gregg, the resident engineer. We I make the annexed extracts from the accompanying remarks of the directors : The directors avail themselves of this opportunity to in. form the sharrholden that since the publication of Mr. bugg's former report, his letters to them are of the most enmeraging nature. Rehab now thoroughly examined every part of the property, and discovered nine veins, in addition ti thaw mentioned in the prospectus issued by the company, end known to their vendors. In order that the shareholders may folly oppreciate the advantage of these discoveries, it may ha Mated that whilst many companies were formed in Lentos for working • few hundred feet on single veins, not Noel in thickness to the seeress of the 16 on the Willer I...ate, the aggregate length of the veins on their property is not leas than 11 miles, and that they are contained in an eases of about 440 acres only, so that works and machinery legated, are available fur wuria.ng this great leogth of p Id-bearing veins. The whole of the veins recently &covered have been fully proved, and hare given on slay by Mr. Gregg exceedingly satisfactory results • qiianuty of ere, comprising average samples from the ve nous veins, is now on its way to England. • • • The directors, although placing the fullest reliance in these statements, hesitated to wad out mochinery which would not be available fer the general purposes of the mine, until folly convinced that the extent of the deposit would justify the oslay, but they have now the pleasure to state that their resident engineer, after • careful examination, has rood the existence of an extensive deposit of Cascalho and ferrugisous sand, lying in the hollow bed near the centre of the estate, which will be awn by reference to the ',thetas takes over the Waller and Ooochland Veins. Fully sassible of the great impirtance of taking advantage of this discovery, the directors have had machinery constructed on the model of that employed by the Russian government in wa,bing the gold sands of Siberia, and this apparatus, eart's of washing 40 tons per day, will bo immediately set to work, and the geld extracted made available for au early dividend. The sand will be collected like gravel from a pit, and thrown into the machines, which are self. acting, and so Maple and inexpensive is the entire process, that the cost of working will cent exceed 2. per ton. The erection of the different buildings, and the machinery, is steadily proceeding ; and having means of making conside rable returns fur a long time to come from the deposit above mentioned, the directors recommend the concurrent proszention of the works upon the veins in a miner-like system, :nil on such a scale of magnitude as their great cx teat cad richness demand. In conclusion, the directors fed themselves fully justified in anticipating that, before many months elapse, the whole of the veins will be brought lam a state of profit, aid that, by the end of the present year, the company whose affairs they have now the honour to watch over, wi l l ' have, in compli ta operation, one of the heist and most productive mining establishm ents is the world. LAS INFANTAS SILVER LEAD MINE. The directors of the Las Infants, Silver Lead Mining Company have received the following report from Capt.

This was a petition of John Booth, the brother and com mittee of a lunatic' named George Booth, praying the era firmatiew of the lluter's report under the following circus:- stances :—Tbe lunatic was one of three sons of John Billiard Booth, a 'landsman of fortune' residing at Crouch-end. The lunatic was born in 1809 and became of unsound mind in 18!3; and always lived with hie father. In January, 1387, his mother died, leaving a fortune of 120,0001., of which, under a power of appointment, she devised 38,0001. to her husband, and the remaining 90,0001. to be divided between her three sons. An application wse made to the court in March, 1838, that 6001. • year should be allowed to the lunatic, out of the proceeds of him share of his mother's legacy for his maintenance, but nothing wee then sail about part maintenance. In 1840, his father applied to Lord Cottenham to be allowed payment, at the rate of 6001. a year, for the period which elapsed between the time of his mother's death, in January, 1837, and the making of the order for maintenance in March, 1838, and a reference was directed to the Muter to find what was due, which wee to be prosecuted at the applicant's (the father's) own expense. This order was never prosecuted during the life of the father, who died in 1849 ; but two or three years afterwards it was carried on by the exe cutors of his' will, by which he left all his property, not to his children, but to strangers. The Master found that nothing wee thee for this period in question, and It was his report the eswiemation of which was now prayed. Mr. Malin and Ms. Shabbeare appeared in support of the petition, and aassead that there was no pretence for seek an epplicatiee, cane separate establishment had been kept up for the lunatic, and the only ground alleged was the keeping of another carriage for his par.icnlar use; besides which, the length of time which had elapsed before the order for a reference to the Master was prosecuted was tantamount to its abandonment. Mr. Bacon and Mr. Hardy, for the exeenton, opposed the petition, contending that the principal part of the father's means were derived from his wife, and that his circumstances were much altered b her death; besides which, he was a large debtor to t he estate', on which the forune of hie wife, and the I.gacies to his sons were charged, and that he had arranged to set off his debt against the lunatic's meintanance ; and that there had been DO abandonment of the order, but only delay in prosecuting it. Mr. Kenyon appeared for Mr. Phillip Booth, the nest of kin, to ask for costs. heir Lordships were of opinion that there was nothing in the special circumstanoes of this case to take it out of the rule that the father of an infant lunatic could not be allowed anything for past 'maintenance after an allowance was wade for the lunatic's support oat of his own estate, the very question in this case having been raised before, and settle! by Lord Eldon SO years ago. The petition was therefore allowed, the respondents to I pay the custa. 112011 TIM XAVIR Or TN! 11011 i ESTI O. 11111111. This was a suit for the reocerer of 2,0001. under the fol lowing singular circumstances. In 1803 Mr. M. L. Este, a British officer, who had returned from the Egyptian cam- , paiga, met, in Perk, Min Lanka Caroline Smyth, and renewed an sequsintanee whieh he had previously had will her. It was agreed that they should marry, that a Freak contract of marriage should be prepared, and that Mr. IBMs &could resign his commission and commence business es a banker in Paris with his brother. The euntrect, which was dated 23rd March, 1803, was accordingly executed, and is it the lady's fortune was stkted to be 168,000 francs (7,0001), 6,0001. of which she was entitled under the marriage settle ment of her parents, and to t's remaining 2,0001. under the will of her father. Of this sum 7,000 trance only was to go " into community," aid by the mirth article the wife wee to have the disposition ei the separate property after the expiration of the .. ip," as it was termed in the contract, weenie.al s die death of the husband or wife.

The husband, however, amstsoled that he wee entitled to the exclusion of the son, that the marriage wee valid, bat that the contract in France was invalid, and that therefore the property of the wife beeeme his on her death. His Honour in giving jedgment, said he considered the Vil valid, and that the contract so far as it related to property was valid also. There was no law to pre agreeing that after marriage their property shonlrr :egulated &cocain to the laws of France or tht s o; any other country, though it might be singular should so determine. Here the circumstances ex plaiaed why they so acted. Holding the contract to b' valid, the same the question of construction, and acoord big to the evidence which had bees laid before the court of the Preach law, it appeared that the wife was entitled to Armee by will of her separate estate.

MAUVE LOAINIT --- The Attorney- General, on behalf of the Hon. Francis Scott iuid seven other gentlemen, directors of the South' Western Railway Company, renewed the application he had made on the last day of last term, fora rule for a criminal information against William Harrison, the printer and pub lisher of the TIRO newspaper, for an article published in that newspaper on the fled November last, most tenses', reflecting on the character ant conduct of those gentlemen. In order that the court might understand and appreciate the meaning of the article, he would briefly state the cir cumstances which had given else to it. In the early part of 18.53 it was intimated that the Great Western Railway Company intended to apply to parliament fur a bill to enable them to make a line between Dorchester and Exeter. The South Western Company ware the proprietors of the railway from London to Southamnton, and from South ampton to Dorchester. The Great Western Company also bad a Use striking off from their main line at Bristol, through Somerset, Willa, and Dar et, and the two com panies had long been competitors for the line between Dorchester and E . Great contests had been carried on between them before parliament in 1846 and 1847, i which terminated in favour of the South Western Coen . -- patsy ; but, in ousequesos of the state of the money mar ket linos that period, they bad not completed the line. In 1853, the Great Western Compan being about to apply again to parliament, the South Western directors called the attention of the shareholders to the contemplated invasion of the rights of the company at the general half yeuly meeting, in February, 1853. A resolution was then passed, requesting the directors to watch carefully the pro ject of the other company, and to take suck steps as they thought expedient to protect the intern's of their own corn pony. Tbe bill of the Great Western Company was brought began parliament, and the directors of the South- Western Compemy them evened a special emend meeting en the 20th of May, at which they pointed out in their 1 report the genres which they considered the company ought to adept—vix., to proceed with the construction of the narrow gauge extension between Dorchester and Swiss. The meeting then passed a resolution, authorising the dime:wale pledge the company to apply to parliament, at the earliest period, for powers to construct the Dor chatter and Exeter line, as the interests of the company were deeoy concerned in theirrailway being extended to Exeter. Tin number of votes polled in favour of this re solution was 20,616; against it, 3,44 l—the majority being 17,206. TM value of the stock polled in favour of the Ithethithin was 3,774,4401.; inst it, 570,5801. —majority, =rWhen the Grea Western bill came before par , Mr. &vit, as chairman of the South-Western Ompsay, wont before the committee, and on behalf of the them to apply to parliament next session r i s ill irol= Ohm to make the line from Dorchester te=ster. At the dare of the chairman of the committee. he pat the promise into writing, sad the committee reported ' to the house that, although they thought it desirable to have the line made, they thought it ought to be a uniform gauge, and therefore (cave the preference to the South-Western selisme, and rejected the Great Western bill. This was yowled to the next half. early meeting of the shareheithu he when a rcoeootion was unanimously vaned, mow Oahe whet bed been awe by the directors. Another ler ad posed maim wit convened on the 15th November, le elder to eeeskies what further steps should be takes; bat le the meantime a great change had, from tome cause ar another, taken place in the sentiments of a majority of the shareholders, for the directors then met with consider able opposition. Adverse resolutions and amendments were proposed, and the result wail, that the number of votes polled for an amendment against the resolution favourable to the extension of the line was 13,914, against it, 13,911, being a majority of three sgainst the extension line. The value of the stock polled for the amendment was 2,050,5691. ; against it, 2,673.8291. Majorityi of stock in favour of the resolution, 623,2601. No one could doubt that it was com petent to a majority of the shareholders to give their votes exactly as they pleased, or that a question involving the in terests of a great public body like the South-Western Com pany was a fur subject for public discussion in the columns of public journals. Lord Campbell•—Railway directors may be considered as public functionaries whose conduct may be canvassed and tenured in the same way as the conduct of judges and other public functionaries. The Attorney-Oenerel—Every man invested with public functions was amenable to public opinion, but a journalist, while he had a right discuss the conduct pursued by pub lic functionaries, was not entitled to ascribo to them unwor thy or dissroditable motives unless his observations MEN Masud on truth. The learned Attorney-General then read the article complained of, which was of considerable length. It onanasamodi by commending the spirit and prudence of the shareholders in taking the managent of their attain into their own bands, and not allowing their line to be extended. Ice eamemating upon the vote of the meeting which sanc tioned the extension, the following passages occurred : " We have surely heard of such a thing as tampering wiih some votes and creating others of a fictitious character for the purpose of carrying out a scheme on which the directors have set their hearts." "If the Hoc. F. Scott made it (the pledge) in defiance of the wishes of his constituents, of course the transaction is a mere swindle, and there is an end of it." It was also said that the directors had probably acted under the influence of the "demon of speculation, but it was to be hoped that it was no worse." Putting on one side all that related to the policy of the proposed exten sion, he complained of the motives here assigned to the conduct of the directors. It was said that in order to carry oat a scheme on which they had set their hearts, they had tampered with some:votes, and created other fictitious ones, and that the pledge they had given to parliament amounted to nothing more nor less than a swindle. Lord Campbell said there did not appear to be any direct and positive charge against the directors. The Attorney-General said there could be no doubt that the intention of the article was to convey the impression that the directors bad tampered with votes, and made a pledge to parliament in bad faith. Lord Campbell—Giving the most ample scope to the pri vilege of commenting on the conduct of directors, there are expressions here that admit of a construction that traud and fraudulent conduct are imputed to them, and therefore we think you may take a rule to show cause. I suppose you have affidavits from Mr. Scott and the other directors? The Attorney-General said they entirely denied the im putations OUT upon them. Rule nisi. THE EUZIN V. CLATTON.—CRIMINAL INFORMATION. In this case a rule nisi hal been obtained for a criminal information against Mr. O'Shea, a surgeon in London, and Mr. Clayton, the London agent of a Dublin newspaper called the Weekly Telegraph, for a libel which bad appeared in that journal, containing serious imputations upon the prosecutor, Dr. O'Connor. The article appeared in the shape of 'letter from Mr. O'Shea. Mr. Lush, who now appeared for the defendants, said that the article arose out of an angry political correspon dence, and imputed to Mr. O'Connor that he had assumed the title of M.D. without having any right to it. Mr. O'Shea now stated that although at the time of writing the letter be believed this to be true, he had since disco vered that it was utterly unfounded, as Mr. O'Connor was sot oaly an M.D., bat also a laseniser of the College of Surgeons of London, end of several other learned societies. He had, therefore , 'greed to write a letter, which would be inserted in the seat Wash/ Telegraph that would be published. Ike learned a then read the letter,which contained the faint possible retraction of, and apology for, the charges which the writer, Mr. O'Shea, had brought against Dr. O'Connor. This apology Dr. O'Connor had consisted to main on the usual terms as to costs. Mr. Clayton had also apologised for having assisted in circa lanai the libel. The editor of the newspaper would also insert a paragraph, expressing his regret fez having allowed the libel to appear, and his disbelief in the charges it con tained. Mr. Woolett having, on behalf of Mr. O'Connor, accepted the retraction and apology which had been made, Lord Campbell said, Dr. O'Connor was folly justified in applying to this court for protection; but there Ud been a very ample retraction and apology, which were very credit able to those who had given them ; and Dr. O'Connor bad done well to swept them. Rule discharged on payment of costs. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—YzerziwAY. =MOS at ain PIM at W10110311M1. - 10011 pa. IMION MATT AND • MOPS MIT. WISTOW 0. CALlelilit.—BlLL DISCOI:NTING.

Yesterday morning an inquest was held at Rifling, on the ►odies of Kamen, Hipponon, and Smith, who were killed in the recent collision between Heeling and Thetford. The circumstances of the cam are, of course, those which came nadir the notice of the jury whose verdict was yes- terday reported. The coroner, in summing up the evidence, remarked upon the fact of Howard having brought his train from Thetford upon the wrong line of rails, at ante of something like 20 miles an hour, instead of four, and without having a signal mast walking 600 yards before him, in contravention of the 71st regulation of the company ; how far a criminal offence had been committed was s subject for grave consideration. All the people examined stated that there were exceptions to their rules, and it always would be so, until government took the matter up, they might depend upon it. As to the train which had proceeded from Thet ford upon the up•line, Mr. Howard bad elear:y violated his own orders, that nothing should proceed upon that line, but, having taken upon himself its superintendence, and given orders at the other end,hs no doubt considered himself justified in doing so. Mr. Ashcroft, on his part, had been informed at the Harting station that the snow between that station and Thetford would take two or three days to clear away, and therefore, although a good deal of exaggeration always 'aids in such cuss, could not suppose the obstruction to be then cleared away, although such was actually the fact, and if Ashcroft had taken Briggs away with him he might have stopped a passenger train then nearly due, and which could not have gone on without Briggs as its pilot. Mr. Ashcroft no doubt considered that the Lae was blocked, and could not be cleared without the help of the men whom he had with him, and therefore went on. In conclusion, it was to be observed that Mr. Howard, Mr. Naylor, Mr. Ash croft, end Yr. Lathan had all risked their own lives, if there wee say risk, and be put it to the jury if it was res- mutably to he mimed that they would hays dose eo if they had supposed any danger to exist. He thought they had made every reaeoaable inquiry, and believed them selves to have takes every necessary precaution, and he thought it would be • pity that men similarly circum stanced should in future be deterred from doing their duty from feu of being subjected to • criminal prosecu tion. The room was then cleared, and the jury baying re- mined in deliberation for about an hour, returned the fol lowing verdict:—" That we, the jury, are cumeinteudy of opinion that Mr. Amhoroft and Mr. Lathan are both guilty of manslaughter. The jury feel it a duty incumbent on them to suggest to the directors in future the absolute necessity of a rigid and strict °hareem* of the ruin and regulations prepared foe the plisses of the servants of the company.

The Coroner said the last words of the jury were quite unnecessary, se be was gaits sure, after their verdict, that no company would keep its Unit open under such circum stances. At the same time he intimated that as two or three days would elapse befere the verdict could le missed, he should not In the mescals' issue his warrant for the apprehension of the persons affected by the verdict.

It was ',turned to the plaintiff marked with the ominous words "no funds." Mr. Calisher had been frequently applied to for the pay went of this money—the 751.—he refused, and although he still had the brooch be defended this actinn. If he proved all these facts so he was iostructed he could, he was at a lose to conceive what defence Mr. Calisher could set up to the just claim of the plaintiff. The plaintiff was :hen called, and corroborated the state ment of the learned counsel relative to all that portion with whieh he was immediately connected, namely, the advance of 2501. at the request of Sir Arthur Rumbold fur the re demption of the brooch, and the return of the dishonoured cheque for 751., so that he had not received more than 1601. altogether from the defendant. Crothexamined by Mr. Watson—He believed Sir Arthur Rumbold was now abroad. He had advanced the money because Sir Arthur had said that the brooch was worth more, but he would not have advanced the money if Mr. Calisher had not promised that he would par back 2501. whenever the brooch was returned. He bad never seen Mr. Calisher before, and he would be very glad if he had never seen him. (Laugher.) Mr. Watson-11'e are _greatly obliged to you fur colon teering this statement. You regret the introduction. per haps. Witness-1 do indeed, sir. Charles Romer examined-1 am a professor of music, and am the plaintiff's brother-in-law. I took the brooch to Lady Alice Peel, on the let of September, at her residence at Richmond. and her ladyship baring declined to give 4001., I took it back to Mr. Calisher. I was accompanied to Mr. Calisher's by Sir Arthur Rumbold. Mr. Calisher said he would give me the money in a few moments, but having kept us waiting two hours he said he world only advance 2251. on the brooch. Sir Arthur said I had better accept the offer, as he would make up the 251. He gave me 1501. in cash and a cheque for 751. on Birmingham. Mr. Watson objected to the cheque being received in evidence, on the ground that it did not bear a stamp, which it should where it was made payable more than fifteen miles from the town in which it was drawn. _ . Baron Platt—lt I.iitia)Tiriningiate, and I shall hat u prima facie evidence that it wu drawn there. . Watson—But the witness has stated that be saw the dant draw the cheque in town. . Baron Platt (to witness)—Did you is. the cheque a in town. I did, my lord. Mr. Baron Platt—Oh! what a case. Mr. Watson—Your lordship has not heard the cue. Mr. Baron Platt—l have heard this much, that an ob jection is taken by the defendant to the admisaion of a document drawn by himself. Mr. Watson—Your lordship can receive or refuse the document as You think fit. Mr. BaronTiatt—i must do u the law commands, but I asset but express my astonishment that any man should instruct his counsel to adopt such a line of defence. You must take it, Mr. James, that you received IdOl. and nothing Ulm Mr. James—Well, we will take it so, my lord. Examinatim continued—l applied several times for the money after the cheerio was dishonoured. The defendant said he held an I 0 L of Sir Arthur Rambold's for 301., and if I would take it, and 45i. in cash, he would pay me. I at first retused, but then I thought I should better secure the interests of my brother-in•law by taking the 451. in cash. and by relying on the honour of Sir Arthur Rumbold rather than on the word of Mr. Calisher. I therefore said I would accept hi. offer, and ho said he would send for the money. I again waited for some time, and he then offered me a cheque on Chatham. which I declined. Mr. James—You had quite enough of the other cheque. Witness—Quite enough, indeed. Cross•examined—l saw no documents signed during the interview. I wrote a letter to the defendant, stating I was directed to apply for the amount of the dishonoured cheque by Sir Arthur Rumbold. I did so because he was mixed up in the business. I have no recollection that Sir Arthur Rumbold obtained the draft for 751. on the promise that he would on the following day pay an I 0 U of his for 301. The case for the plaintiff having closed, Mr. Watson submitted there was no case to go to the Mr. take t Mr. jury. Ht. Ludehip overruled the objection, but took a note _ _ of it. Mr. Watson then addressed the jury at considerable length for the defendant, contendicg that he had had no transactions with the plaintiff, but with Sir Arthur Rum bold, who had promised to pay his I 0 U the following day after he obtained the cheque for 75/., and on his failing to do so the payment had been stopped. Julius CaHeber, the defendan - , was then examined, as follosse—l advanced to Sir AttilUT Rumbold the sum of 2501. on a bii: of exchange, and received from him as col lateral security an opal brooch, surrounded with about 30 diamonds. This was on the Ist of August last year. On the 30th of thst month Sir Arthur Rumbold. accompanied by the plaintiff, came and paid me the 2501., and I de livered up the brooch on receiving the following receipt: " Received the within-named brooch, the 30th of August, 18.53. The bill fur 2501. to be returned.—Arthur Rum bold." The plaintiff was present when this paper was written. and it was read over in his presence prior to its Whig signed. The bill mentioned in the receipt was that which I had discounted for Sir Arthur Rumbold, and the reason that I did not return it en this occasion was that I had myself been obliged to get it discounted on my own ea count. During this interview something was said about an opportunity Sir Arthur had of disposing of the brooch to a lady, and be asked me if I should be inclined to take bask the brooch in the event of its not being disposed of and to advance the same sum on it. My reply was, that no doubt I would do so. The money was Raven to me at this meet ing by Sir Arthur. He placed it in my hands and I gave the brooch to him. The plaintiff asked me what I con sidered the value of the brooch, anti I replied it might be worth 1501., 2001., 2601., or 3001., if sold by the hammer, but that I could not exactly say. I had no further conversation with the plaintiff on the subject at this time. Ile did not ask me if I would ad vance 250/. on the brooch, at some future time. Nothing 'of that sort was said on the occasion. Lsdy Alice Peel was the lady, who, as Sir Arthur expected, would buy the brooch. On the Ist of Sept. Sir Arthur again came to me in Norfolk-street, and he was then accompanied by a person named bomer, whom I had not previously seen. Sir Arthur offered to deposit the brooch with me, Lad wanted me to lend 2001. again, taking the brooch, as before, as additional security. I declined to do this, hut said I had no objection to lend 2251. Sir Arthur agreed to this, and I thereupon gave him 1501. in cash and a cheque foe 751. Sir Arthur then signed this paper in the presence of Romer. It bears date September lot, 1803. " Sir I hand you a brooch as a security for a sum of 2401. for money advanced to me, and unless redeemed within one month I authorise you to sell the same to the best advantage, end to repay yourself.

I said that 1 must deduct that amount. but Sir Arther requested me not to do so , for he would eall the following day and pay that sum. I gave a paper to Sir Arther, dated Sept. let, 1853 to this effect. ' I hold an opal brooch, surrounded with thirty diamonds, as colla teral security for the sum of '2401., and unless redeemed within one month from this date.

They would have paid the cheque if I bad not written to them not to do so.
