Henley, of North Wool wich, and forms one of the links of the Great Northern Telegraph Company, the prospectus of which was issued the day before yesterday by Messrs. Hambro and Son. The length of the cable laid is 265 nautical miles. A bill introduced by Mr. Sheridan, M.P., called the Joint Stock Companies Arrangement Act, has passed the House of Commons, the purport of which is to enable creditors and shareholders representing two-thirds in number and value,to enter into com promises in cases of companies in liquidation, with the sanction of the Court. The sixth instalment of 2s. 6d. in the pound, making, together with previous payments, 15s. in the pound, has been paid to the creditors of the Im perial Mercantile Credit Association (Limited), by the liquidatom The total amount of this instal ment is about £260,000.

The creditors of the Madras Coffee Company (Limited) are required to send the particulars of their claims to the liquidators by the Ist November. The committee of Confederate Cotton Bond holders have issued their third report, in anticipa tion of the meeting called for to-day. According to the novice published, this meeting is convened " for the purpose of protesting against that portion of Mr. Sumner's speech which refers to their inte rests, and likewise for the purpose of petitioning the 'lonic of Commons not to grant compensation for the satisfaction of claims arising out of the late war in the United States between the Northern an Southern States until all claims have been adjudi catcd by an impartial tribunal according to the princip!e s of equity and international law." Manchester advices announce the failure of Messrs. Samuel Brierly and Son, co:ton spinners and manufacturers, of Rochdale, with liabilities to the amount of £15,000, and very moderate assets. Messrs. R. and W. Jackson, in the same way of business, have also stopped. At the annual meeting of the South Australian Company, the directors' report was adopted, and a dividend declared at the rate of 8 per cent. The ordinary meeting of shareholders in the Mexican Railway was held yesterday ; Mr. R. W. Crawford, M.P., in the chair. The chairman in moving the adoption of the report said that arrange ments were being made for the payment of A Mort gage Bonds, and, in order to procure the money for this purpose, it was proposed to issue B Mort gage Bonds. The traffic for the year was being kept up at its average rate, and was satisfactory, con sidering the unsettled state of the country. The report was adopted and Mr. Adams elected as auditor.

Mrs. Turner. he Dean of York, assisted by the Rev. Eldon Bat k 4, officiated. The presents were very numerous and costly. POLICE 11VTELL1GENCE.—?his Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE HAYMARKET AND ITS VISITORS. —Two young men named James Costello and William Shilling, were charged before Mr. Knox with attempting to pick pockets in tho Ilayrnarket. Police-constable Walker, a plain clothes officer of the C division, said that shortly after one o'clock that morn ing he was on duty is the Haymarket, whoa he saw a large crowd hustling the police about— Mr. Knox asked what was the meaning of it. Inspector Wade said it was only what occurred every morning after the refreshment houses turned out their customers. In a distance of 500 yards, he could positively state that he that morning saw 150 prostitutes, and about an equal number of well-dressed young men with them ; and although there was not such disorderly conduct as to call for the interference of the police, yet there was such conduct as he considered ought not to take place, caused by a mixture of young gentlemen, prostitutes, persons selling things, and persons like the prisoners. Fortu nately not many persons slept in the Haymarket, or ther was no doubt that the police would receive many in ore complaints. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners for inquiries. T TIAMES. UNFOUNDED CHARGE,—EIiza Cooney, ag-d 31 years, a pauper in the Stepney Union, was charged before Mr. Paget with stealing a metal teapot, value 2.+. Gd., the pro perty of Mary Murley, of No. 31, New Gravel-lane, Shad well. The prosecutrix, to the surprise of everyone in court, said that the prisoner was not the person who stole the teapot. Alr. Paget—And that is the reason you gave her into custody. Pros-cut rix —Yes, sir. (Laughter.) A ro!ieentan uamed Barton, K, said he had raid tho faro from Shades, II to the Stepne3 Union house at Bromley out of his own pocket. Mr. Paget—The woman who has misled you ought to repay you. I am sure you cannct afford to lose the money Stimpson, a p lice sergeant, No. 21 K, said the woman who committed the robbery had just slipped out of court, and she it was who informed the prosecutrix that the pri soner was the person who stole the teapot. Mr. Paget told the prisoner she was discharged, and that she might if she thought proper bring an action for fahe imprisonment. THE COMIC PAPERS. (From Punch.) THE VICEROY OF EGYPT'S FAVOURITE GAHE. Pyramids. QUITE OUT OF HER LlNE.—Perhaps the most furious talk against the Irish Church Bill and Mr. Gladstone has come from the Pomona Gardens, Manchester. Rather hard this upon Pomona, who has never before been accused of having anything to do with the apple of discord. QUITE RlGHT.—William Tite receives knighthood. it is not much of an honour, but Wren got no more, at least from Royalty. But as it is meant for an honour, Mr. Punch is glad, for Mr. Tite is a worthy gentleman and an eminent architect. Which of the Orders of Architecture is it to be? Surely that of the Royal Exchange. A SUPPLEMENTARY PARAGRAPH.—If there really be any disciples of Rochefoucauld who " find in the misfortunes of others something not altogether unpleasing to them- selves," let them " Spend a happy day," as they say at Rosherville, by investing a shilling at the Supplementary Picture Exhibition, where they will see how Genius can be neglected, and Industry go unrewarded. The " Rejected" have done right in making an Exhibition of themselves, and the Royals ought to be pleased also that next year's Hanging Committee will insist, as a matter of fairness to their brother artists, that more time be allowed them for the consideration of works sent for approval, and so hang and not gibbet such meritorious productions as are to be found amongst others on the walls of the Supplementary Exhibition. " THE NOBLE GAME Or GOOSE WAS THERE IN VIEW." —Goldsmith.—ln a recent police case the witnesses spoke of one " Lord Hamilton " who had been scrambling away his money, at a low public in Shadwell, with the sugges tive sign of the " Paddy's Goose." More than one noble young British sportsman has been frequenting very ques tionable publics lately for the same spirited pastime. But in these cases the goose is rather the sign of the customer than the public, and the nationality of the weakminded bird is not limited to one of the British islands. We have had " Johnny's goose" and " Sawney's goose" in the person of the Duke of Newcastle and the Duke of Hamil• ton ; for if ever what the Scotch call " dukes " were geese, it is in the case of these two amazingly silly boys ; and in both instances, we fear, the goose may be said to have been cooked. done brown,.and cut up, by this time.

Tile second bottle was found on a chair near the santo bed. AORIVEGIAN CHURCIML4NSHIP We spent a Sunday at Odde, and were fortunate enougtl to witness - a service. It takes place once in three weeks. The rector is the brother of the Minister 'of War, and has several other churches to look after. This arrangement is in accordance with the principle adopted at the Reforma tion, by which several parishes were amalgamated into one district, so as to provide a good income for one clergyman. This was thought better than maintaining each parish a separate cure as before, and having a poor clergy. The result of this arrangement is that the Church privileges of the laity are greatly restricted, but the clergy are the wealthiest class of the community. On the Norwegian Fjords the boat takes the place of the carriage in England, A whole fleet of small craft lay drawn up on the beacn. Sometimes a large boat called the church-boat is used to convey a numerous party. The women handle the oar as well as the men, and will often pull five or six miles with out stopping. In Norway, as in most other countries, the women have contrived to monopolise costume. The men are hardly distinguishable from English peasants, but the married women are a gorgeous spectacle. Upon their heads they wear a large expanse of plaited white muslin, in shape like the bell of the calceolaria flower. Over their bosoms they display a bodice of the most elaborate beadwork. The maidens do not don the cap or the beaded bodice. The younger girls wear the hair in two long pigtails, others more advanced in years twist the hair with a scarlet snood. The latter mode is very becoming. and with the dark skirts, the scarlet and white bodices and snow coloured aprons and collars, make -ap a most charming costume. Inside the quaint and rudely decorated church, the men sat upon the right side, the married women upon the left, and the girls stood or knelt in the aisle. Nut a few of the sterner sex remained outside the church, and took no part in the service, for the _Norwegians are by no means a religious race. The priest wore a elose.fitting hack robe stud a whita ruff. There was no Communion, and so his surplice was laid upon the altar. Very long psalms were sung to p!aintive chants much out of tune. The priest stood all the while before the altar with his back to the people ; the precentor leading the singing. At the close of it the priest mounted the pulpit, made an extempore prayer, followed by the Lord's Prayer, and then began his sermon. The celebration of Holy Communion is attended by a good deal of ritual. - Non-communicants remain and group themselves around the communicants as the elements are administered. Great care is taken that no one communicates who has not previously made his C'ontinunion's-adrift. This is the only form of confession required in the Norwegian Church. The utmost importance is attached to confirmation. The candi dates are prepared most carefully for six months by the parochial clergy, and each clergyman administers the rite to his own parishioners. A fatherly relationship is thus established between the two, such as can never exist between the candidates and the Bishop, whom they have never seen before and may never see again. Confirmation as a necessary qualification for all public offices and for most private engagements, implies not only a religious, but a secular, education, and the inference would be in the case of a young man or woman passing the usual age for confirmation without being confirmed, that they were in. tellectually deficient or morally unsound, and therefore were not capable of undertaking any duties.—From " Fjeld, Fjord, and Foss," in the Churchman's Shilling Magazine for July. Liiza Loyerage, of Hosier-lane, opposite th.i house of the deceased pers,i s, sail that she kt,w the family, and saw tl,e children on Sunday morn ing whist the nindow was half open. They were at breakfast, but sl.e did not see Air. or Mrs. Dug gan. She spoke to her she believed once. The children appeared as if they were in a very poor state. She want out and returned home at eleven o'clock at night, and at twelve o'clock she could see a light i❑ the room. About ten minutes before four o'clock on Monday morning she saw a light as if a fire was burning. It was then broad day-light. She knew nothing of the family herself. She did not s Duggan go out that morning. Wm. Vorvey, wholesale chemist, of King-street, Snow-bill, said he did not know Duggan, and did not remember having ever sold him anything. Witness produced a book having an entry in it of selling 2 ozs of prussic acid to a man named Fearon on the 14th of June. He did not think the two bottles produced were the same as he sold. He had seen the body of the man Dugan, and did not believe that he was the man he sold the acid to. On Tuesday morning the police and Mr. Brett came to him, and he told theta that he had sold two bottles of prussic acid to a man who had been a customer for two years. He had not seen the dead body at that time. Prussic acid was used by silversmith's and electro-platers in their trade. There was a great quantity used by them. He never sold prussic acid to any one without he knew the party well, and 'le then entered the sale in a book kept for that Sacramento papers give a long account of the funeral of John C.

One of the dead boys came to his house at 11 o'clock on Sunday night and took a stone bottle containing a pot of fourpenny ale away with him. CRIME IN IRELAND.—The assize for the county of Leitrim has been opened at Carrick - on-Shannon. The Lord Chief Justice, in charging the grand jury, congratu lated them on the state of the county. The cases for trial only amounted to one-half of the number at the last assizes. His lordship remarked that the constabulary returns shewed that serious assaults were the offences most frequently committed in that county. Intoxication was the stimulating cause in most of these cases, and he expressed a hope that the gentry and clergy would exert themselves to put down this disgracvful vice—" the parent of crime." Sergeant Goodeve proved finding the bottle in a cupboard in the house which smelt of ale, but not as if it had had any acid in it. Dr. Willson, of Farringdon-street, said he was called on Monday last by the poliCe, and repaired to the house. He saw the body of the eldest boy in bed dead. He had been dead several hours. The Witness minutely described the positions he found the other bodies, which have already appeared in this journal. The man and the woman did not ap ',ear to have been dead so long as the children. The bodies of the man and woman were quite warm, and bad probably died about the same time. There might be this inference, that the children might have been poisoned whilst asleep. He found acid on the lips of one of the children. His opinion was that the man died last, and he thought that the woman had either taken it herself or bad it administered to her after she was in bed. The reason he believed the man died last was, that he died in one room and the female in the other, and he could not have walked from one room to the other after taking the poison. How THE COMMONS REJECTED A BILL. Tb.t: Speaker was examined at the last sitting of the Com mittee on House of Commons' Witnesses, and gave evi dence in favour of a statutory power to examine witnesses at the bar. The right hon. gentleman, referring to the traditional jealousy of the two Houses, said that in 1772 Mr. Burke complained bitterly that he had been kept three hours waiting at the door of the Lords with a bill sent up from the Commons, and that the latter were so indignant that shortly afterwards, when a bill was brought down from the Lords to impose a bounty on corn, the House rejected it by a unanimous vote. The peaker then tossed it across the table on the floor, and a number of members rushed forward and kicked it out of the House. Communications are now made through the officials of both Houses.-00. THE MEMBERS FOR SOUTHWARK AND THF TEE TOTA BURS. —ln reference to the remarks made by Mr. Locke, M.P., in the House of Commons, reflecting on a certain class of temperance advocates alleged to be in fluenced by mercenary motives, and the promise of Mr. Layard to establish a restaurant in Victoria Park, a meeting of about 300 people (chiefly teetotallers) was held in the Borong,h-road Congregational Church on Wednes day night, to protest against the conduct of their parlia mentary representatives, and to form a committee to take action in favour of securing members in future who would support the closing of public-houses. The meeting was addressed by the Rev. G. M. Murphy (chairman), Mr. Jabez West, and Mr. Otway. In addition to the avowed object of the meeting the advocates took an opportunity of pushing their favourite doctrine, in support of which they quoted numerous statistics. Mr. Layard and Mr. Locke, who had been invited to attend the meeting, sent letters—Mr. Layard, apologising for unavoidable absence, and Mr. Locke declaring that he had no explanation to give, nor did he know that his recent remarks differed from his previous declarations. This last statement was received with hisses.

Mr. G. Wm. Adams, silversmith, 15, 16, and 17, Hosier-lane, deposed that the deceased had given him notice to leave his employ on the 3d of April last. On that day he said that he was ill and unable to continue his situation, as his lungs were affected, and a homoeopathic doctor had told hint that he must seek other employment. Witness wanted him to stop, and said, "Look at me, I have lived 21 years with only one lung. Con sider your wife and children." Since that time he drooped, and he lost all spirit. The jury,after a shortdeliberation, returned a ver dict "That the six de.cmsed children died from the effects of prussic acid, administered to them by Walter James Duggan, and Emma Char lotte Duggan, and we find that they are guilty of wilful murder in each case, and that they afterwards destroyed th e i r own li ves w h i l e in an unsound state of mind."

Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. Eykyn, said the m of the prosecution in this case had been fully consid in the cabinet, and the result arrived at there was nothing in this case that should re, it from those of ordinary cases where the secution is left to those who had been sufferers. only precedent was that of the Royal British Bank, the prosecution was carried on at the expense of the vernment, but that was a case to be avoided rather followed. The Government had been applied to to nish funds for the prosecution of the directors of the I Bank, but that application had boon refused, it was thought quite impossible to furnish f to carry on a prosecution, the conduct of c would not rest in their bands. He was quite aware it would be said there was an inconsistency in the vernment prosecuting Madame Rachel and refusing so in the case of the directors in the case Overend, Gurney, and Company, but the que in the former was totally different from that in the I, In Madame Rachel's case the question was whether a ticlar judge bad jurisdiction to try the case, and upon the previous conviction and sentence of five years servitude depended, and so great public impor attached to the determination of the que that the Government felt bound to take master up. The Lord Chief Justice had decided tl prosecutor could not in that court conduct his case in and he thought it would bs admitted that he v competent authority on the point. The Governm having fully considered tho whole of the matter, we opinion that the circumstances of the case of Ove, Gurney and Co., did not afford sufficient reason for m, any exception to the general rule. Mr. EkRYN gave notice that to-morrow he shoule the attention of the house to the subject. (Rear, hes Mr. FAWCETT asked if it was competent for a citor to conduct the prosecution ? Mr. BRUCE could not say, as he was not well-info on the subject they practice in law courts. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.
