The above Company is formed for the purpose of conduct ing this old-established hotel, long and favourably known as reuillacle's, and then patronised by many families of distinc tion, situate in the Opera Colonnade, Charles-street, Hay- Market, a lease of which has been obtained on very advan tageous terms. The situation is, without exception, the best for the purpose in London, taking into account its central position, proximity to the Opera, theatres, and places of public amusement, and ready approach to the Houses of Parliament, clubs, andprin- Opal squares and thorou g hf ar es o f th e wes t ern me t r opolis. As an instance of the success attending properly managed enterprises of this description, it may be stated that the Great Western Hotel, which has been established since 1851, has attained a success far surpassing the most sanguine ex pectations of' its projectors—having paid dividends of over 30 Per cent, per annum on the capitaremployed, besides carrying over aconsiderable amount towards a reserved fund. The Ground Floor of the premises will be used as a Restau rant, capable of dining 600 persons daily. The upper part Will be used for the Hotel Department, comprising a coffee room, private rooms, and about 60 bed-rooms, and in both departments fixed moderate charges will be the rule.. he APplicants for shares will be required to pay to thebankers of t Company, or to the Directors, a deposit of 10s. per share on the number of shares applied for ; and in the event of the Directors allotting to the applicant a less number than applied for, the amount paid in will be appropriated towards the deposit-of £2 per share, payable on those allotted ; should no allotment be made to the applicant, the money lodged at the bankers will be returned free of deduction.

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 more graceful out line, as well as to effect a great saving in wear ; the latter adv.lntage is considerably enhanced by the application of a peculiar and neatly stitched 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 ►lain figures, at a fixed moderate price, and is of the best ma..erlals. In London, the NEW REGISTERED PALETOT can alone be had of 11. J. and D. NICOLL, 114, 116, 118, 120, Regent-street, and 22, Cornhill. A NEW DEPARTMENT FOR YOUTH, Arc. T_T J. and D. NICOLL recommend for an out -1-1- • 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 on, 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 elaztic 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 seml-sleep , , - s, and thus leave the arms_ at liberty ;gat 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' ittendants may also be seen for I'antalons 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. THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- It is only a short time since this singulaily 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, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain.habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages o f life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to m odern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and .who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be v i o l a t e d without incurring g,rievon4 penalties, and w h en wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self how those penalties may be mitigated, how the be removed, and how the evil m be avoided, d bo an , a ve all, that and its consequences In Y of h steal infirmii functional' y or there is scarcely an): degree P Y aid of science cannot apply derangement to which the timely of their bitterness a may by J Allen, 20, Warwick-lane, Paternoster-row, Published J.

They are not, however, aperient on/v, but have a peculiar and specific influence upon the 'blood, which they at once purify and enrich. It is well known that the liver and stomach always sympathise with each other, and that the liver is never much disordered itself without causing cone surtax disturbance or impediment in the organs of digestion. These truly wonderful Pills act powerfully and simultaneously on both the liver and the stomach, and thus the double cause of what is called bilious Headache is subdued at once. _Yesterday a special- Waterloo-bride meeting of this com pany was held 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. W. J. Chaplin, Esq., was in the chair. The special report, which has already appeared in The Sun, was then taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, after 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 become owners of our branches, either by constructing them ourselves or purchasing them outright. But ; railways must look in the face varying influences which are brought to bear on them. They have to meet the requirements and convenience of localities, the tender and untiring care of professional gentle men, and all those other agencieS which have con tributed to 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 corn-' pieta, and have become facts whieh 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 th e i r 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 eon 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 iiroposed 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 Portsmouth, 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_restles_ Spirit among them, re sulting in attempts to procure another route from Guildlord to London, and relations with other com panies, thus disturbing the entire district, (in which we, being the largest shareholders, would naturally be the largest sufferers .: whereag, 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 h ave seen th a t i n s pite 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 th e p resen t at a ll events 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 th a t we ma y n ot suffer the like by i theintervention 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 an d my colleagues have thought will show the necessity of taking this Ip,ase. Mr. HERAPATII—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. (L aug ht er .) Mr. HERAPATII—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. HERAPATII 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 P- The CHAIRMAN—I beg to ask you, do you con sider the Brighton Company has any claim on this line—is it in OUT district or not ? - - Mr. HERAPA'TH 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 advocating the in terests of the Brighton Company, or this ? Mr. HERAYATH, 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. TITE, 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 sharehold er i n th e 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 hoyieless. 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 result 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 line 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 ne 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 a fortnight's delay, in order to obtain a full and fair discussion with tb.e Brighton Company, and to originate peace, and security, and safety. (Hear.) It had been stated, although he did not credit it, that a 'breach of faith with the Brighton Company had been committed. beenp o s of eany nytheb reach question of DER —Let B tt r hu ig esr h dies ton Company ? our u r f Ab agreementfaith O r s L w t l) . Mr. CASTLEMAN (a director) thought it would be better to leave the board to fight out any question of good or. bad faith. The only question was one of policy. Mr. ADDISON, although a Brighton shareholdei, must Say that in dealing withthe question of policy they must not consider the interests of the two com panies alone, but these of the public and the'eo vernment, and the demand for a direct and conve nient access from the metropolis to our naval and military arsenals, in which was involved the ques 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 soing to Portsmouth instead of two—(hear)—inducang .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 Aan 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 th e South Western proportionably weakened—(heitr)-- 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 throwing 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 Gwcedore 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 from the church of Myra, within 41 miles of Dunfanaghy, accompanied by his wife and daughter, and not far di s t an t from his place of residence, fell a victim t• 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 out 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 1 0 priests. M . Nixon affirmed that his lands were l et at low r that eu m his t a n tenants ee s tba than they e then had beenin m o s r e e m comfortable and years .ts, be circumstances . He the d eas alai s itry afterothattli tberelev emae sanTtteme wasdgof sfotorcekby peasantry granted, and that the money placed at the disposal of the Roman Catho lic p riests 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 mon_ one unlikely to act harshly towards his tenantry. Yet his life has been ruthlessly sacrificed, either because he dared to tell the truth, or it may be exercising his legal rights' as a landlord. Since the Romish clergy haye 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 extr pate that n4arious conspiracy which has caused the life-blood of so many of our fellow -countryme n to stain Our fields and highways.. Instead of removing the extra police from Donegal, it must now be increased, even though the population should be made to feel in reality the privations and suffering which their spiritual guides so pathetically described from imagination. " Tuesday morning, half-past 2 o'clock.—We have heard that Mr. Nixon is still alive." A correspondent of the Freeman's Journal gives an account of the outrage, of which the following is an extract :—" Shortly after 3 o'clock this (Sunday) evening our neighbourhood was thrown into dread ful excitement by the arrival of a servant of the Rev. A. Nixon, at Falcarragh, for the doctor, an nouncing that his master had been shot at on his way from church, and quite close to the gatehouse of :the avenue leading to his own house. Subse quently the particulars of this melancholy event became better known, and they are as follow : While the Rev. A. Nixon, in company with Mrs. and Miss Nixon, were proceeding homeward in a covered car, after being present at Divine service, he was met quite close to his gatehouse by three persons dressed in the garb of women, one of whom seized the horse by the bit, while another proceeded towards the window of the car which was opened, and, aiming a pist o l a t Mr. Nixon's head, lodged its contents in the jaw of the unfortunate gentle man. I have heard it stated that had the shot (which was of slugs) taken effect a few inches higher his case would have been hopeless ; but, as it is, I am happy to be informed his condition is not considered beyond recovery. Dr. Brady, of Fal carragh, and Dr. Eames, of Dunfanaghy, are in at tendance; but, of course, at the present stage it is folly to offer an opinion howso sad and terriblea case may terminate. Many causes are assigned as having led to this act of desperation." Immediately on the intelligence reaching Dublin the Lord Lieutenant issued 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 Atlantic 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 at Galway capable of accommodating the Tranatlantic traffic which is being developed by the new line. o f s t eamers b e t ween th a t p or t and. America. Surveys are ordered, and estimates will be prepared of the expense. The company propose to make the service weekly ; and the principal advantages set forth by the promoters, are, that it will sa v e 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. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—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 hir 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. 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--If 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. Colemanlt is always "G. G." Those ini tials are on the watch, although the name is changed when he proposes marriage. Miss —, the young lady referred to by Mrs. Geer, came forward and said she had been asked three times in church, and E day fix ed 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 he was most anxious t hat the propert y should be entirely settled upon me in case he should pr ove a aende heartrally bad husband to me. (A laugh ) The Lord May or—Men of his stamp of b g only men begin in that way. It is who commence in that strain. Miss —After promising me marria g e he was a way 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 eircumstances 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 bands if be comes into them, I feel deeply for the , -------,.' - -- - -- - --7 - -T, ;..- - \e n V, 4( r74:3 1-4 . 1 .„, Z - i .'i-4 -- Sitriv —.- situation of Mrs. Geei ) ,- Miss --- upon h a e l :" cl ie c i li i i in nef \. a. te C \ •"__ -- 1 4C;7 s(;:ti4the ab:l4-4)S lating GUILDHALL.—WiIIiam Lemoe broker, 4, Austin-friars, was placed be fore -Alderman Carter, charged with , having re ceived from Miss Caroline Adelaide 1 l anee, of c)titii . 'iants, ... 'f £5,000 to invest in cer tain securities, and t...- - sfully converting . 01 2 same to his own use. Mr. Bodkin, instructed by Messrs. Desborough, Young, and Desborough, attended for the proserat tion. He said the prosecutrix was a lady who), having derived her property from the estate of tas deceased relative, was induced to entrust £5,000 to the prisoner, to invest half in Canada Government Bonds and the other half in Great Western of Canada Bonds, and the account of the investment of which, in the handwriting of the prisoner, he produced. Th e or di nary account of the purchase of these bonds had been previously rendered, and after deducting the £5,000 received from Miss Danca she would still be indebted to the prisoner in the sum of £B, which by subsequent transactions the prisoner had repaid himself. Since January last the dividends had been regularly transmitted to Miss Dance, so that she had no reason whatever to doubt that her money had been properly invested; but from circumstances which came to her know ledge she was led to demand the sec urities pur chased in her name. The prisoner, however, evinced such reluctance and so much shuffli ng that application was at length made t o th e Londo and County Bank, where the prisoner was sup posed to have deposited the securities. Wh en pressed to sive them up he said they were in a box in possession of the London and County Bank, and that he could not get them without giving notice. The friends of this young lady coming up another demand was rra le 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 he would go down to Southsea and see Miss Dance ; but that lady's friends again interfered and brought her up to town, and then urged upon the prisoner that there was no occasion to go to Southsea -as-Miss Dance was present, and there was, therefore, no further excuse for not giv ing up the bo n d s . He, 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 then 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 public 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 him, giving him directions 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. She also received another letter, dated the 14th January, and replied to it agreeing to the proposal contained in it for depositing the securities at the London and County Bank. Another letter was subsequently received from the_prisoner, dated Jan. 23, forwarding schedule of Canadian bonds, with numbers and value attached, 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 bance, 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. 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. Mir. Martin the chief clerk, then read ove r th e evidence of Miss Dance. Captain Philip Sohn Haymes, RN., 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) said it was all right, and asked him at what hour he would call again. He (Captain Haymes) said, " Why not sign the order at once, and I will go back with you ?" He said it would be necessary to give the bank notice of his intention to withdraw his ease 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 custogy 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 th© 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 sec ur iti es 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 Mr. 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 t•erious. I cannot make any distinction between him and any other prisoner. The case was then adjourned. JOINT-STOCK BANKS.
