NICOLLS' NEW REGISTERED PALETOT has all those advantages which secured such general popularity to Messrs. Nicolls' original paletot, that is to say, it avoids giving to the wearer an outré appearance, so that professional men and all others can use it during morning and afternoon in or out of doors. Secondly, there is an absence of unnecessary seams, well known to secure a mo-- - e graceful out line, as well as to effect a g - .. - eat saving in wear ; the latter advantage is considerably enhanced by the application of a peculiar and neatly a:ltched binding, -the mode of effecting which is patented. Great exertions are being made to supply Messrs. Nicolls' agents throughout the country and the colonies with an assortment of this new garment, simulta neously with the display . in. London, but it is necessary to in form the public that all Messrs . Nicolls' manufactures may be distinguished by a trade mark, consisting of a silk label attached to each specimen ; to copy this is fraud. and may be thus detected. If the garment is dark-coloured, the label has a black ground, with the firm's name and address woven by the Jacquard loom in gold-coloured silk ; if the garment is light-coloured, the label-has a pale drab ground, and red silk letters. E...ch paletot is marked in plain figures, at a fixed moderate price, and is of the best ma:krials. In London, the NEW REGISTERED PALETOT can alone be had of. H. J. and D. NICOLL, 114, 116, 118, 120, Regent-street, and 22, Cornhill. A NEW DEPARTMENT FOR YOUTH, &o. HJ. and D. NICOLL recommend for an out • side Coat the Havelock; and for ordinary use the Cape Suit, such being well adapted for young gentlemen, as exhibiting considerable economy with general excellence. Gentlemen at E;7on, Harrow, Winchester, the Military and Naval Schools, waited on by appointment. ' A great variety of materials adapted for the Kilted, or Highland Costume, as worn by the Royal Princes, may be seen at WARWICK HOUSE, 142 and 144, Regent-street. FOR LADIES. NICOLLS' PATENT HIGHLAND CLOAK is a combination of utility, elegance, and comfort. No Lady having seen or used such in travelling, for morning wear, or for covering full dress would willingly be without one. It somewhat resembles the old Spanish Roquelaire, and has an elastic Capucine Hood. It is not cumbersome or heavy, and measures from 12 to 16 yards round the outer edge, falling in graceful folds from the shoulders ; but by a mechanical contrivance (such being a part of the Patent) the wearer can instantly form semi -sleeves, and thus leave the arms at liberty ; at the same time the Cloak can be made as quickly to resume its original shape. The materials chiefly used are the soft neutral coloured shower-proof Woollen Cloths manu factured by this firm. The price will be two guineas and a half for each Cloak ; but with the Mecanique and a lined Hood a few shillings more is charged. This department is attended to by Cutters, who prepare Mantles of 'all kinds, with Velvet, Fur, or Cloth Jackets, either for in or out door use. These at all times—like this Firm's Riding Habit—are in good taste and fit well. Female - attendants may also be seen for Pantalons des Dames k Cheval, partially composed of Chamois. As no measure is required the Patent Highland Cloak can be sent at once to any part of the Country, and is thus well adapted for a gift. H. J. and D. NICOLL, Warwick House, 142 and 144, Re gent-street, London. rrHORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE. It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &a., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. °N INCAPACITY.PRTSI PHYSICAL AND IMPEDIMENTS DISQUALIFICATIONS, T RIAGE. 0 1MIKE IIAR RATIVE by Steel, just New and improved Edition, enlarged to 196 pages, illustrated 100 Anatomical Coloured Engravings on pub lished, price, free by post, ls.

The. pris.oner, however, evinced such reluctance and so much slinfiling that application:was at Length made t o the _tendon and County- Bank, where the prisoner was sup posed to have deposited .the securities. When pressed to give them up he said they were in a box :n possession of the London and County Bank, am', that he could not get them without giving notice. - The friends of this young lady coming up another demand was n Lie for the securities, and the prisoner was then asked to sign the order to ob tain them from the London and County Bank, but he refused, and said ke would t ;a3l doVi'n to Southsea and see Miss Dance; but that lady's friends again interfered and brought her-up to town, awl then urged upon the prisoner that there was no occasion to go to Southsea as Miss Dance wazi present, and :there was, therefore, no further excuse for not giv ing up the bonds. Tie, however, said he had reasons for not giving up the - securities; and upon that,. and having previously_ ascertained that they had no been deposited at the -bank at all, the prisoner was given into custody. He (Mr. Bodkin) was not then in a position to do more than to advance this case in its preliminary stage, and he should there fore merely give evidence of the purchase of these securities for Miss Dance, and then ask for a re mand in order that it might be traced what had beCome of the money or the bonds. Miss Caroline Adelaide Dance was than exa mined. She resided at No. 12, Queen's -terrace, Southsea, Hants. At the death of her uncle' she beceme entitled to . a share in the property. ;She was desirous of investing some money in the pubi'le securities, and in January last consulted the pri soner with regard to the investment of £5,000. She received a letter from him recommending various securities, and upon its receipt wrote to hiin, giving him directlons to invest half the £5,000 in Great Western of Canada Bonds and the other half in Canada Government Bonds. She afterwards received a letter enclosing the notes of the purchase of these bonds. Sic also received another letter, dated the 14th Januaarf, and replied to it agreeing t o th e p ro p osa l con t a led in it for k depositing the securities at the London a,..qa County Bank.

Many causes are assigned as having c ' led to this act of desperation." Immediately on the intelligence reaching Dublin the Lord Lieutenantissued a proclamation offering £lOO reward for the discovery of the assassins. GALWAY PACKET STATION. The Admiralty have issued orders for moorings to be laid down at Galway for the convenience of the Northern Atlarif ic Steampacket Company's vessels in the harbour of Galway. The following statement appears in the Dublin papers :—" The Government has, we hear, decided upon construct ing a harbour atGalway capable of accommodating the Tranatlantic traffic which is being developed by the new line of steamers between that port and America. Surveys are ordered, and estimates will be prepared of the expense. The company Rropose to make the service weekly ; and the principal advantages set forth by the promoters, are, that it will save 480 miles in distance and from 35 to 48 hours in time to passengers, and, owing to its telegraphic facilities, will enable messages to pass between London and Wash ington in about six days • that the dangers of the Channel are avoided ; that there will be a saving of insurance as well as of wear and tear from the re duced sea distance ; that the Government on both sides of the Atlantic will grant mail contracts ; and that the requiste vessels, owing to the serious de pression in the value of steamships, have been pur chased for extremely small sums." Another letter was subsequently received' from the prisoner, dated Jan. 23, forwarding. schedult2 of Canadian bonds, with numbers and value attachea,• and stating that he had deposited them at his banker's—the London and County Joint-Stock Bank, and that they were deliverable solely to the order of Miss Dance, countersigned by himself. The witness went on to state in detail the cir cumstances under which her application to the pri soner for the securities was made, and his refusal to deliver them up, notwith standing her written in structions to that effect, as referred to in the speech of Mr. Bodkin. POLICE IN7'ELLIGENCE—Oct. 27. MANSION-HOUSE.--Mr. E. H. Coleman, clerk to the registrar of seamen, Board of Trade, Adelaide place, London-bridge, attended at the justice-room for the purpose of calling the attention of the Lord Mayor to the practices of a miscreant whom he had every reason to believe had married several wives, and after living with them for a few days, had deserted them. Mr. Coleman said—Numerous inquiries have been made a t our office within the last eight months for a person describing himself as master of a merchant ship, who assumes various names, but the initials in every case have been " G.G.," those letters being engraven on the back of a gold watch which he usually carries about his person. He is about 35 years of age, five feet two inches in height, has light hair, wears a profusion of whiskers and moustache, and very delicate hands. He states that his vessel is at Southampton, and that he makes short voyages. He is often known to be perusing medical works, and says that he once acted as an accoucheur on board a ship, and that his watch and £5 were given to him for saving a life at sea. The inquiries at the office have invariably been made by females, who frequently refuse their names and addresses, but marriage in each case appears to have been the subject which brought them to the office. On the 3d of May last this man married at St. George's Hanover-square, a young lady in the name of George Geer. He left her five days after wards under the pretence of joining his ship, and has not since been seen by her. Another young lady, named Miss , lately called and made inquiries respecting this man, and I then learned that she had been asked at St. George's, Borough, on the 14th August, and was to have been married to him in the course of a few days in the name of Gardner. Not having seen or heard anything of the party, she applied at our office for particulars of his ship, &c., when I in formed her that he was already a married man, and sent her to the lady who is now desirous of expos ing his wicked acts, and of ascertaining, if possible, whether she is his lawful wife or not. She is also desirous of putting other females on their guard, which can only be done by the particulars of the case being made public. The Lord Mayor—Do you believe the man to whom you refer to be the master of a ship ? Mr. Coleman—No ; I believe he is either doctor or purser. Mrs. Geer, who appeared to be about 22 years of age, and was possessed of considerable personal attractions, stood forward, and, in answer to the Lord Mayor, said that the man who had married her told her that he was going to Southampton to join his ship, but he never returned. He only lived with her five days. The Lord Mayor—How did you become ac quainted with him ? Mrs. Geer—l accidentally met with him. I know that I acted with great imprudence, and I never before made acquaintance with a stranger, but he followed me home and insisted upon becoming acquainted with me and upon being introduced to my friends. He told me he had no relations in existence except an uncle, and that it was not con venient to take me to that relative's house. The whole of the documents referred to in the evidence of Miss Dance were read by Mr. Bodkin in the course of the examination. Mr. Bodkin—l have nothing further to ask Miss Dance. Mr. Richardson, a solicitor, here entered the court, and said—l appear on behalf of the prisoner, and although it is not my intention to ask this lady any questions at present, I should like to hear what evidence has been taken. Mr. Martin, the chief clerk, then read over the evidence of Miss Dance. Captain Philip John Haymes, R.N., was then called, and confirmed the statement as to what passed with the prisoner in reference to giving up the securities. At an interview with the prisoner at his counting-house, he gave him Miss Dance's letter and the order. He (the prisoner) rail} it Ims all right, and asked him at what hour he would call again. He (Captain Haymes) said, "Whys not sign the order at once, and I will go back with . vou?" He said it would be necessary to give the bank notice of his intention to withdraw his case from thence containing these securities • if he would call again at his counting-house at half-past three o'clock he would have all the documents ready for him. He returned at that hour, but did not find the prisoner there. It then appeared from further evidence that the prisoner in the meantime had telegraphed to Miss Dance that he would prefer delivering the secu rities to her personally. Miss Dance, together with Captain Haymes, subsequently waited upon him, but he still refused to give them up, and was given into custody. Mr. Bodkin—Previous to giving the prisoner into custody had you had any communication with the manager of the London and County Bank ? Captain Haymes—l had, sir. Mr. Bodkin—You have told us that earlier in the day you gave him the note from Miss Dance, and the order for him to countersign. Did you leave those:documents with him, or take them away with you? Captain Haymes—l left them with him at the first interview. Mr. J. Grey said—l am chief accountant at the London and County Bank. lam acquainted with all the securities deposited for safe custody with us. Mr. Bodkin—ln January last did the prisoner deposit with you for safe custody the securities mentioned in the schedule , produced ? Witness—He did not, sir ; nor at any subsequent time. Neither did he deposit any securities on ac count of Miss Ada Dance. Mr. Bodkin—That is all I have to trouble you with to-day, sir, and upon this evidence I have to ask for a remand. Mr. Richardson—Will your honour be kind enough to order that M r . Oliver be taken to the prison in a cab, instead of going in the prison van ? Alderman Carter—Certainly not. It is a most flagrant case. and the respectable position of the prisoner renders the offence even more serious. I cannot make any distinction between him and any other prisoner. The case was then adjourned. Mr. Coleman—This lady only heard of him through me, because of other inquiries. The Lord Mayor--You do not know whether you are his legal wife or not ? Mrs. Geer—No, my lord. The Lord Mayor—lf he treated you in this man ner, he may have treated a hundred more in a similar way. Mrs. Geer—No doubt. The Lord Mayor—He is a good-for-nothing fel low. There is every reason to conclude that he has married others besides you. Mrs. Geer—My lord, another person is in court whom he was about to marry, in the name of Gardner, at St. George's Church, Borough. Mr. Coleman—lt is always "G. G." Those ini tials are on th e wa t c h, although the name is changed when he proposes marriage. Miss —, the young lady referred to by Mrs. Geer, came forward and said she had beenaskcdthree times in church, and a day fixed for her mar riage to Geer. The Lord Mayor—Did he expect to get any pro perty with you ? Miss Yes, but he appeared so honourable a man that nobody could doubt his word. He said m e in case he should prove a he was most anxious that the property should be entirely settled upon bad husband to me. (A laugh.) The Lord Mayor—Men. of his stamp generally begin in that w . ay. It is only men of bad heart who commence in that strain. Miss —After promising me marriage he was away for nearly three weeks, and during his ab sence I learnt from Mr. Coleman that he was already , a married man. The Lord Mayor—l wonder the fellow got tired so soon of his marriage with you, Mrs. Geer. He must be a hard-hearted wretch, to run away after only five days of married life with you. I wish I had him here. If I could do with him what I should like, he never should have another wife. I should not mind hanging such a fellow. I think if ever a man deserved hanging it is for deceiving a woman, particularly under such circumstances as have been disclosed here to-day. It is the vilest act of which a man can be guilty. It will be some satisfaction probably to each of you to see him in the dock on a charge of bigamy. I cer tainly should like to see him tried upon that charge at the Old Bailey. I trust that what has occurred here to-day will appear in the newspapers, and' I have no doubt that its publication will bring half . a-dozen other young ladies here. I will lend every assistance I possibly can to bring such a vile wretch to justice. He will have no mercy at my hands if he comes into them, I feel deeply for the Zr -- -~ JOINT-STOCK BANKS.

LONDON AND MUTH-WESTER* - Yesterday a special general meeting of this com pany was h e ld a t -th e. Waterloo-bridge StatiOn, for the purpose . of 'considering and determining as to the expediency of the.company taking leases of the respective 'undertakings of the Staines and Woking ham Railway Company,. and of the Portsmouth Railway Company, and as to the'terms and :condi tions of such leases. We J. , Chaplin, ESq., was. in the chair. The Speeial report, which has . already . appeared in- The Sun, was then taken as read. - •• The CIJAIR3iAN, nfter asking the indulgence Of the meeting on the ground of his suffering from ill ness, proceeded to 'say :=-Our report has informed you of the object of -our meeting—an - object novel to this -company—for we have hitherto liecome owners - of our branches, .either by constructing them ourselves or 'purchasing them . outright. But railways_ must-look-in the face varying inflnences which are brought tobear bn them. They have to, meet the requirements and convenience of localities, - the tender aiia untiring care of professional gentle men; and all those Other agencies which 'have cOn tributedto produce the two undertakings now offered to you on lease. We could have perhaps dispensed with both of them ; and from this reason, and also from _a due deference to your repeatedly expressed wishes that we should avoid extensions, we have throughout rigidly abstained from all pecuniary as sistance, :directly or indirectly, to either scheme. Now, however, as the report. states, they are com pleted, and have become facts which must be dealt with. With regard to the former, the Staines and Wokingham Railway, it opens a new district, and affords a prospect as a tributary to our present line at Staines. The experience of the London and South-Western in working the line since 1857 has shown that it can be worked not only without liability and loss, but with a prospect of profit ; and with such facts and prospects for the future before you, I feel confident of your approval of the pro posed lease, already sanctioned by their proprie tary at a public meeting, and also by Parliament. I propose to take the opinion of the meeting on this part of the question in the first instance, and I beg to propose the following resolution :—" That the lease of the Staines and Wokingham Railway un dertaking agreed upon between the Staines and Wokingham Railway Company and the directors on behalf of this company be approved and ac cepted, and that the directors be authorised and re quested to do all such further acts as they may con sider necessary and proper for ratifying and con firming the same, or for completing it with such modifications (if any) as they may think conducive to the interests of this company." After a short discussion, in the course of which it was explained that there would be no increase to the capital of the company, and that the sum gua ranteed was placed at the amount proposed in order that this company might work the line at a cheaper rate, the resolution was agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to say—The second portion of the report deals with a project of a more weighty and serious character, viz., the lease of a section of a direct line to Portinsouth, extend ing from Godalming to Havant, a distance of 32 miles. Although the terms proposed are as mode rate and fair as we could, after much trouble and care, obtain, or indeed expect to obtain, yet I must urge you to consider, not so much the monetary value of the lease, as its bearing on our general policy and security. We have, in conjunction with the Brighton Company, a considerable amount of yearly traffic between London and Portsmouth, Gosport, and the Isle of Wight, producing annually nearly £lOO,OOO. This traffic is threatened by a new route, shorter by_ 20 miles or more than by the'existing lines. To work it for its proprietors would prove difficult, and would be productive of much jealousy, since they.would be aware that we occupied the original route, which would still remain open to the public. To leave it to itself would be an equally hazardous course, followed probably by competition and reduction of rates and injury to our other traffic to a very con siderable extent. Further, although the proprie tors of the Portsmouth line might not receive a large dividend, this would be no security against the existence of a restless spirit among them, re sulting in attempts to procure another route from Guildford to London, and relations with other com panies, thus disturbin 0- the entire district, which we, being the largest shareholders, would naturally be the largest sufferers : whereas, according to the plan now proposed, we at any rate secure the traffic which may be attracted by the shorter route for 34 miles on our own line between Godalming and London. And I would here take a wider view of the question, which I consider to be equally tenable, and I hope tkat I may be pardoned for alluding to other railway companies, a practice which I have always avoided, although one cannot be blind to the contingencies which befal them. Most of you are aware of the disturbed state of the railways north of London, and have seen that in spite of the lofty position deservedly occupied by the North Western, the original route northwards, that the company, in the absence of some close and binding arrangement either by the aid of co-operation or participation of capital, or other available means, has from some causes or other suffered a disruption from its tributary railways, some 700 miles long, which' for the present a t alievents have transferred their traffic to another company. I allude to the North Staffordshire, the Midland, and the Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire. Now, I ask you coolly to consider that map, Who will be bold enough to say that we may not suffer the like by the intervention of lines from Godalming to Lether head, and Petersfield to Southampton, by which the whole produce of this district may be lost ? I repeat, then, that the precise amount of rental is unimportant in comparison with the secure posses sion of this traffic. These are the heads on which I have thought it important to address you, and which I and my colleagues have thought will show the necessity of taking this lease. Mr. HERAPATH—I beg to ask one question. Is the board united on this subject ? The CHAIRMAN—I have heard that your paper says we are not. (Laughter.) Mr. HERAPATH—I am here, and am not the paper. I should like an answer. The CHAIRMAN—There may be two or three who differ from opinions I never expressed. Mr. HERAPATH urged that this had been offered to the Brighton and South-Eastern as well as to this company ; that the works were not satisfac tory, and the gradients excessive. The chief thing, however, was the position in which the company would be placed in reference to the Brighton Com pany. If they got into collision with the Brighton Company by taking this line, the result would be as bad as it was represented to become if it were not leased. There would arise a fearful competi tion between the two companies. Had any terms been made with the Brighton Company ? The CHAIRMAN—I beg to ask you, do you con sider the Brighton Company has any claim on this line—is it in our district or not ? Mr. HERAPATH understood the argument to be that the line would not be taken without the consent of the Brighton Company. Now, the Brighton Company had a line to Portsmouth, which was worked by agreement with the. South Western on a division of profits—could they consent to lose that traffic ? A SHAREHOLDER — Are you advocaling the in terests of the Brighton Company, or this ? Mr. HERAPATH, after some further remarks, handed in a protest against the leasing of the Ports mouth line, on the ground that it had only one line of rails, was badly laid down, and the gradients excessive, and also on the ground that it would be a violation of an existing agreement with the Brighton Company. Some objection was made to handing in a protest before any resolution was agreed to, but Mr. CASTLEMAN, a director, said that there were statements in the protest which required an answer, and requested that it might be handed in. Mr. 'KITE, M.P., said that this was as grave and important a question as had ever been discussed by the company. He wished, in the first place, to state that he was no longer a shareholder in the Brighton Company. His feeling was against all guarantees. No doubt the guarantee of this com pany of £lB,OOO a•year was as good as Consols, and would be advantageous to the Portsmouth proprie tors. He commented on the circumstance of the opposition to the construction of the Portsmouth line having stopped at a time when it might have been successful.. -_ The Solicitor to the company explained that the opposition had been always kept up until it was found to be quite hopeless. Mr. TITE proceeded to consider the main ques tion. The point of difficulty was this—the South Western had kept up friendly relations with the Brighton Company, and had come to terms with regard to the working of the Portsmouth traffic. Now the South-Western was about to guarantee a line that must obtain its earnings as much from the Brighton as the South-Western Company. (No, only its fair proportion.) The Brighton could not avoid doing, the best for themselves, and the resolt would be that they would have a new line from Three bridges, through Horsham and Pulborough _to Arundel, and thus there would, in fact be four lines to Portsmouth instead of three, involving a ruinous competition. He deprecated any disturb - ance ,of the friendly relations existing' with . the Brighton Company. Was it not possible to come to terms with the Brighton Company ? It must be 'admitted that where the public and,' great arsenals. were concerned, .the Portsmouth li ne .which had . been made could not be shut up. The question was how it was to be dealt with, so as not to cause any bad faith with the Brighton Company. -He did not . wish to meet the. resolution .of the board with a lie-, gative, but he only wished-to show that it would be bad policy to be on bad terms with the Brighton Company.' .He should; not move an adjournment of the meeting, as' he understood that the majority of the proxies held by the board were favourable to their proposition ; but he would suggest afortnight's •delay, - in order to obtain a full and _fair dismission with the Brighton Company,and to Originate peace, and security, and safety.. (Hear.) It had been stated, - although he did not credit it, that a breath of faith with the. Brighton Company had !been _ committed. b q re u a e c s h tio o i f i Hasl.; et th u e S r di e s'as n e o a f n t y he of A bad Sl-I fai ß th Elr fi O r L st p . Eß our agreement . with thelirighton Company ? Mr. CASTLEMAN (a director) thought it would be better to leave the board to fight out any question of good or bad '!The ()illy question was one of policy. - •• ADDISON, although a Brighton sharehOlder,- mnst say that in dealing with the question of policy they must not consider the interests of the two com panies alone,..but those of the public and the Go vernment,nnd the demand for a direct and conve nient access from 0 - ie metropolis to our naval and military arsenals, in Which was involved the ques 7 tion of the defences of the country. Do what they would the line in question must be used, and the point was whether it should be used hostilely or incorporated in. the South-Western Company's sys tem ? He thought they should get the line at once, and then enter into a' fair arrangement with the Brighton Company. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN—We have offered - the Brighton Company a third. of the Portsmouth traffic, as be fore. Mr. CASTLEMEN said that the board was anxious to continue on amicable terms with the Brighton Company ; and with reference to the line in ques tion, the threat was greater against the South- Western than against the Brighton. The South- Western was prepared to give the Brighton as much as they would get by the possession of the line. If it was allowed to go into the hands of any other company it would threaten the Southampton traffic —and it might go into the hands of the South- Eastern Company—(hear, hear)—and so there would be three companies going to Portsmouth instead of two—(hear)—inducing a violent competition. He admitted that £lB,OOO a-year was a large sum to pay to parties who came into a line of country where they had no business to come, but the stan dard to take was not that of advantage to them, but of damage to the South-Western, if the line was made independent of the latter company. As to an adjournment, the directors were actually in treaty with the Brighton Company, and were about to make a proposal to them, which, unless their object was to obtain an aggressive line, no one could say was not fair, and rather to the disadvan tage of the South-Western than to them. If the meeting was adjourned it would go forth that the Brighton Company was not fairly treated, and in the negotiations that would follow the hands of that company would be strengthened and those of the South Western proportionably weakened—(hear) — when the board was prepared to do all that was fair and liberal to the Brighton Company. 'He wished to add that Mr. Herapath had handed in a protest containing a paragraph stating that the proposal to purchase the lease of the Portsmouth line was a job concocted for private purposes and not for the public good. The only way to treat such gross charges was this—(tearing the paper and throwint , it on the ground). Let Mr. Herapath name the persons he accused; or if not, let him withdraw his charges, and express his regret for having made them. (Hear, hear.) After some discussion, The CHAIRMAN put the following resolution " That the directors be authorised and requested to proceed with and conclude such an agreement with the Portsmouth Railway Company for a lease of their undertaking as authorised by Parliament, or of any part of it, upon such terms and conditions (consistent generally with those reported this day by the directors to the proprietors) as they may consider right and conducive to the interests of this company." Mr. SNOW, a proprietor, supported the resolution at length ; and having inquired what the conditions of the proxies in the hands of the board were, The SECRATARY read a statement that the num ber of voters for the lease was 986, the capital held being £2,267,486, and the number of votes 13,898. Against the lease the number of voters was 100, the capital held £171,524, and the number of votes 1,282. The resolution was carried by a large majority. Among the dissentients were two of the directors. The following resolution was also agreed to : " That for this purpose the directors are authorised and requested to take and concur in such measures in Parliament as to them may appear expedient, the South-Western Company working the Ports mouth line in the meantime." The proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. IRELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION IN DONEGAL. The wretched Gweedore dispute is likley to bear bitter fruit. One of the landlords, whose name in connexion with the district has been frequently before the public, has ere this probably perished by the bullet of the assassin. Late yesterday evening a hasty report reached town that the Rev. Alex ander Nixon had been fired at and badly wounded on Sunday last while leaving church, in company with his wife and daughter. Other accounts state that the shot had proved fatal, but a despatch dated Tuesday (last) night says that the unhappy gentleman was still living, but that no hopes were entertained of his recovery. The ball passed through the neck by the mouth. The Derry Guardian of yesterday gives the fol lowing version of the dreadful affair :—" According to a report which was generally circulated in this city yesterday, the Rev. Alexander Nixon, when returning in his carriage fpm the church of Myra, within 41 miles of Dunfatiaghy, accompanied by his wife and daughter, and not far distant from hir place of residence, fell a victim to the bullet of an assassin. The only particulars that we have heard respecting this sanguinary tragedy are that three men, disguised in female attire, were observed on the road along which the carriage was passing, and from their conduct it was supposed they were slightly intoxicated. As the carriage drove up one seized the reins and stopped the horses, while another commenced singing, and the third began to leap and fling himself about. The rev. gentle man, with the view of ascertaining what was the matter, opened the window of the carriage, but no sooner had he put his head tout than a pistol was discharged at him, a ball from which is said to have entered his mouth and passed transversely close to the opposite ear. Our report states that he was killed on the spot, but the latest account that reached us is that he lived till yesterday morning, in great agony, and then expired. We have not learned whether or not the murderers were pursued, or any efforts made to take them into custody. The worst of it is that there is too much reason to believe that the peasantry of the surrounding district would rather screen than de liver up to justice the perpetrators of this cold blooded murder. The deceased, it will be remem bered, was one of the witnesses examined before the Parliamentary committee appointed to investi gate the state of Gweedore, being . himself a land-owner in the district, and his evidence was totally at variance with the statements contained in the appeal' of the 10 priests. Mr. Nixon d thataffirmed his that tenants his landswerrents, f er t a a h n l e more comfortable than they had been some years be we th e e r n e fore. He stated also that there was a hiding of stock by the peasantry after the committee was granted, and that the money placed at the disposal of the Roman Catholic priests was disbursed in some cases among undeserving persons. Judging from his answers to the interrogations put to him on that occasion, we should regard him as a fear less, ,just, clever, and good-natured inv n —on e u nlikely to act harshly towards his tenantry Ytt his life has been ruthlessly sacrificed, eithe r because he dared to tell the. truth, or it may be exercising his legal rights as a landlord. Since the Romish clergy have not used their influence to repress crime in the locality, the strong arm of the law must be employed to put it down, and to extir- ___.~ agell° knell, lyde -4•, of treett Gar- Pew Shag• kink? a -st. p ldati, NG? 11% *r of 4
