The general scheme and objects proposed to be embraced by this Company may be thus described, viz.:—The con struction, maintenance, management, . and working of such works of irrigation, water transit, and water sup ply in India, with their auxiliary undertakings as may, from time to time, be found to be of a profitable character, after the necessary sanction of Government has been secured to each project. - The works selected for first operations, and intended to be immediately entered upon, have been examined by en gineers of the highest attaintments and Indian experience, who urgently recommended them for construction by Go vernment as being, in their opinion, amongst the most mportant, and in promise the most profitable of their character in India. These works will consist of :-- Firstly,—lrrigating and Navigable Canals, with all sub sidiary works throughout the rich and extensive alluvial Deltas of Orissa, and the adjoining districts, receiving their ,supply from the copious and never-failing waters of three great rivers, the Mahanuildy, the Byturny, and the Brah many, which, with their affiuents, intersect and command the trade and commerce of countries, together much larger in extent than England and Wales, and abounding in agricultural and, mineral wealth. The land in Orissa alone, capable of being thus affected, is estimated to amount to about 2,000 , 000 acres. Secondly,—A main Irrigating and Navigable Canal, con hecting the above works and districts with the port and city of Calcutta starting from Balasore and passing by Midna poor to the Hoogly River, opposite to Calcutta, with all subsidiary channels necessary to irrigate about 2,500,000 acres of good land contained in the surrounding country. The present Secretary of State for India, in Council, is March last, addressed to the Government of India an official, communication calling attention to the im portance of constructing these works, and stating that her Majesty's Government were prepared to carry them into effect as soon as the plans and estimates were approved by the local Government. A desire to see an nnguaranteed Company established led, however, he states, to their con ession to this Company. The main sources of profit will be : Pirstly,—The sale of water to the Government for the irrigation of land. Secendly,—Tolls levied in respect of the use of the Canals and Water-ways by the public. To these may be added as available but subsidiary means f a Iditional returns :- I.—The working of the Canals by the Company by the conveyance of Passengers, Artiinals,' and Goods thereon. 2.—Rent and other income derived from mills and factories established on the banks of the various channels. 3.—Cultivatien and sale of timber and other produce raised upon the land of the Company. And, 4.—The supply of water for general purposes. Although these latter are now put forth as secondary only, they should by no means be lost sight of—the first of them has been already ascertained to be highly productive in India, and by the official accounts of the existing Canals in the North-western provinces of Bengal the profits derived from mills, timber, and bank produce, represent a large par tentage upon outlay. It is proposed to limit' the issue of capital in the first in stance, to the sum of £1,000,0 00 , divided. into 50,000 shares 'of £2O each, and to take a first deposit of £1 per share only, with a further payment of £1 per share when the final agreement has been concluded ; this will, it is believed, suffice to support effective operations for the first twelve months. Of all subsequent calls, full and timely notice will be given to each shareholder. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to those applicants who are shareholders in the Madras Irri gation and Canal Company, to the extent of the number of shares held by them in that company, and all future issues of shares in England will be distributed pro rata amongst such of the then existing shareholders in the present com pany as may be desirous of taking them. A full Prospectus and form of applications for shares may now be had upon request at the Company's Offices, 27, Can non -street, E.C., London ; or at the Company's Bankers, Messrs. Ransom, Bouverie, and Co., 1, Pall-Mall East. MO GUN MAKERS' AND OTHERS.— HURST'S (registered) EBONITE RIFLE PROTEC TOR prevents i►jury to Muzzle and Barrel while loading. Price is. each.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter." — Dublin Medical Press. - - • • London : H.

The prisoner, when last before the magistrate, hating been given into custody by Mr. Jones, a newsagent, on• suspicion of having stol e►n the papers in consequence of his selling them at oxe-fourth their price on the day of publication, explained that he received the papers over his proper quan tity by mistake at the T imes office. He now per sisted in that line of defence, and it was sug gested that the mistake was one of frequent oc currence, and that all newsvendors—including even Mr. Jones—occasionally received other papers instead of their own at the 7imes office. Mr. Jones, however, emphat: cally denied the assertion, and stated that he not only never heard of such mistakes occurring, but that he had never in his life received a single sheet wrong from the office of the 2 Imes. PRICE 4D STAMPED, 5D • member for Buckinghamshire, and on the 2d of June last I received.the letter now produced. _ (The letter which was referred to in the opening of the learned counsel was then read.) Cross-examined by the defendant—l never heard of such a person as the Rev. Ebenezer Grubb, of New York. (A laugh.) Defendant—Are you a Jew now, or not ? Mr. Disraeli—l am what I always was —a Chris tian. Alderman Abbiss said Mr. Jones was . perfectly justified in the course he had taken in giving the prisoner into custody, for, although there was some le al doubt in the case, he had none mith regard i , t thy - prisoner's conduct. According 'to his own a count, he had-acted very dishonestly in not tak irig the papers hack to the Times office. His giving thorn to Viottair-bny to sell for him and the price at which they were offered were evidence of his know ledge of the _guilty, way in which he hid acted. It appeared, however, that the papers found on the prisoner had not been identified as the riame copies left at the limes office by Holloway, foccr the news agent in Mark lane, and the prisoner would there fore have the benefit of the doubt, and taking into consideration his tender years, and that he had already been locked up all night, her would dis charge him, and he trusted the narrow escape he had had would be a caution to him, as well as other boys engaged in the newspaper trade. The defendant proposed to ask several other of fensive and irrelevant questions of Mr. Disraeli, but the Recorder would not allow them to be put, and said he would not allow a court of justice to 'be made the medium of insulting any one. The defendant (to Mr. Disraeli)—Have you ever received any other letters from me ? Mr. Disraeli—l have received a great many from you since the year 1852. They were at length of such a character that; coupled with your conduct, it was considered advisable that you should be put under the surveillance of fae police. Defendant—What did I do that induced you to take this step ? Mr. Disraeli—You were constantly in the habit of haunting the public offices and the House of Com mons, and you behaved in such a manner that it was charitable to advise the police to have their eye upon you. Defendant—How many letters do you say you have received from me ? Mr. Disraeli—l have received personally about twenty from you, but at last they were of such a character that I would not receive any more. I believe that you' have sent altogether 120 letters to me. _ MARYLEBONE—CharIes Long, residing in Warner-street, Stingo-lane, was charrd with a violent assault on his wife, and waa sent for a month to the House of Correction. SOUTIIWARK.—WiIIiam Williar is, a power ful-looking man, 30 years of age, the upper part of NOlose head was one mass of bruises, timid his eyes swollen to such an extent that he could, barely dis tinguish any object before him, was charged with causing the death of George Mitchell ill. a pugilistic; encounter in Battersea-fields, on Sunday last.; and William Davis, 29, and Henry Walker, 37. were charged with aiding and abetting in causing the death of the said George Mitchell. Mr. Fletcher appeared to prosecute in behalf of the relatives of the deceased, and Mr_ Edwin de fended the prisoners. Mr. Fletcher said that the prisoners Williams and Davis, as well as the deceased, were engineers in the employ of Messrs. Easton and Atrws,'Govern meat contractors, of the Grove, Gni! dford-street, Southwark, and the prisoner Walker ha understood to he a congreve-maker. They, however, were all acquainted, and on Sunday morning la.-0 praceeded to Battersea-fields, where a pitched battle took place between Williams and the deceased, the other prisoners acting as seconds. The fight lasted a long time, and was furious on both sides, but he thought he should be able to show thxt there was great malice against the unfortunate deceased, and that he was unfairly treated. After the fight he was taken home to his lodgings, and died from the effects of the violence on Monday afternoon. He called John Kay, who said—l eau an engiL, neer, and work at Messrs. Easton and Amos's. I knew the deceased, and he worked there up to Saturday, as also did the prisoners Williams and Davis. On Sunday morning last I was with others in Battersea-fields, and witnessed a battle between the prisoner and the deceased. The latter was beaten and conveyed home. The prisoners Davis and Walker acted as seconds, and they parted them. The deceased was conveyed to his lodgings, No. 2, Cottage-place, Castle-street, Southwark, where he died on Monday afternoon. Mr. Edwin—Was it not a fair stand-up fight between them ? Defendant—Were you not aware that I had some conversation with Lord Malmesbury about making a draft of a Reform Bill that would be satisfactory to the working classes ? (A laugh.) Mr. Disraeli—l never saw you in my life until I saw you at the police-office. The defendant then asked the right hon. gentle man whether the sole cause of his appearing against him was not on account of his having represented him in an illustrated newspaper as a conjuror in a bottle ; and several other absurd and irrelevant questions, and— Mr. Giffard interposed, and said that in the in terest of justice he felt called upon to protest against such a course being proceeded with. The Recorder told the defendant that he could not be permitted to pursue such a line of cross-exa mination. The questions he had asked were totally irrelevant, and had nothing to do with the inquiry, and were only calculated to insult the witness, and he would not permit that to be done. The defendant then asked Mr. Disraeli whether he had not written a letter to him, thanking him for " cutting up" Lord Palmerston ? (A laugh.) Mr. Disraeli—Certainly not. Lady Edith Fergusson, said—On the 9th of June I received the letter containing the verses now pro duced. I afterwards sent it to my husband. - Cross-examined by the defendant—l•never heard that you had expressed your. regret that the letter had ever reached me. _ Le Brument, one of the warders in the West minster House of Detention, proved that the de fendant gave him a letter, addressed to Lady Fer gusson, which contained some verses. He read a portion of them, and showed them to Captain Hill, the governor of the prison, and he refused to send the letter. By the defendant—Witness always considered that he was perfectly sane while he was in prison. Captain Hill, governor of the Westminster House of Detention, deposed that when the verses were shown to him he considered they were very im proper to be sent to a young married lady, and he refused to allow the letter to be sent, and it was returned to the defendant. _ _ _ Witness—l believe it was, sir. Mr. Edwin—Did not Williams want to leave off long before the termination of the fight ? Witness—l don't know that, as I was not near enough to hear what was said. I did not hear de ceased say that he would go on, but he might have said so. In answer to questions put by the defendant, Captain Hill said he believed that upon. some points he was labouring under a delusion. Defendant—Did I not acquiesce in the verses being returned to me? Captain Hill—You had no alternative, because I refused to send them. (A laugh.) The defendant asked witness whether he did not receive instructions from the prosecutor to starve him, so that he should not be able to bear up and conduct his deflice ? _ _ Mr. Edwin—Now, did you not hear deceased say, " Have I won ?" after they were separated ? Witness—Yes, I did, but that was three quarters of an hour afterwards. The deceased then said, " Let me go on again." Mr. Combe remanded the prisoners, and refused to accept bail fir either of them. Captain Hill said the question was too absurd to require an answer. _ _ _ The defendant put a great many other irrelevant questions to the witness, and the Recorder was frequently obliged to interpose, and request the de fendant to confine his attention to the question before the Court. Mr. H. Fergusson deposed that he was uncle to Sir James Fergusson, and a writer to the signet in Scotland. Witness married a daughter of the de fendant's sister, at least he believed she as. By the defe ndant—l w had never seen you until I saw you yesterday. I have no reason to believe that my wife is not your sister's child. Sir James Fergusson was then called. He said —I am the member for Ayrshire. I was formerly lieutenant in the 3d battalion of Grenadier Guards, and afterwards captain of that regiment. I served in the war in the Crimea, and was present at the battle of the Alma, and 1 was slightly wounded at Inkerinan. I was elected for Ayrshire while I was in the Crimea. I received the letter now produced at my hopse in Scotland on the 21st of December, 1859. On the 13th of February I received another letter from the de. fendant, and on the 23d of March I received a third. I afterwards received a copy of the verses addressed to my wife. Cross-examined—l have never described you as a lunatic or an assassin, but iu conversation I have certainly said that you were an impostor. I never influenced the editor of the limes to write an ar ticle against you and describe you as a madman. In answer to further questions put by the de fendant, Sir James Fergusson said he had received many other letters from the defendant, but he de stroyed them all, except the one of the 21st of December, in which the demand was made for money. The defendant then put some questions involving charges of gross immorality against some members of the family and other persons. The Recorder interposed, and said that he really would not permit such matters to be gone into. It was a most infamous abuse of the privilege of cross examination to attack absent parties, and they really had nothing whatever to do with the inquiry before the court. This was the case for the prosecution. The defendant then proceeded to address the jury in answer to the charge. He made a long rambling speech, in which he referred to his lite rary productions and other matters that had nothing whatever to do with the case. Tho Recorder, in summing up, said that as the defendant had not pleaded a justification, it must be taken that the defendant had admitted there was no foundation for the charges he had made against the prosecutor, and the only questions the jury had ' to consider were whether the letters and the verses were libellous and defamatory, and whether they were published with the intention to extort money. The jury almost immediately returned a verdict of guilty, but recommended the defendant to mercy on account of the state of his health. He was then ordered into custody, and the Re corder said he would consider what sentence should be pronounced. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 15, 1860.

The traffic as compared with the corresponding half of last year showed an increase; it was-not much, but it was an increase. Owing to the state of the weather in May and June last they had had scarcely any pleasure traffic, but he hoped they would have some increase from that source in the current half-year. He trusted that the result of the goods traffic wfiich they were preparing to accommodate on their line would not fail to be of great advantage to them. The gentlemen connected with the Midland, Great Northern, and London' and North-Western Railway Companic3 would not have made such arrangements for goods traffic and expended their money unless they saw their way to having a good and remunerative truffle. Mr. J. WILSON, a director, seconded the motion for the adoption of the report. Mr. G. SMITH• thought that the shareholders should have had some explanation in respeot of the sums to be guaranteed by the different companies using their line, so as to induce them to subscribe to the new capital. _ The CHAIRMAN said it was proposed to issue the new shares at £6 10s. each, and, when consolidated into stock, they would rank as £lO shares - the result would be to give th e su b scr ibers something more than 5 per cent., while at the same time, the outlay would have the effect of increasing the traffic generally, and gradually augmenting the dividend on the existing shares of tho company. They would be allowed interest at 5 per cent. on the outlly for the branch to the docks, and 6 per cent. on the cost of the station and siding accom modation, which would be appropriated during construction to dividend on the new shares; and when the works contemplated were completed and £6 10s, paid the new shares would be consolidated on the terms mentioned, and participate in the general dividend. Mr. SMITH estimated that the new shares would yield, even at the present rate of dividend, a return of more than 6 per cent. per annum to the sub scribers. He looked forward to increased dividends for some years to come. A PROPRIETOR thought they ought to be well satisfied vvith their prospects, and that they had a fair chance of ultimately obtaining a remunerative return upon their capital. s • s Resolutions were passed adopting the report, declaring a dividend at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum for the past half-year ; authorising the directors to raise £300,000, in shares of £6 10s. each, which were to be consolidated into stock at £lO per share, and the new shares would be offered rateably to the proprietors in the propnrtion of one new share for each £3O stock held by them. The deposit of £1 10s per share was to be paid in Sep tember next. The CHAIRMAN then announced that there were two candidates for the office of uditor. It was a question upon which the directors would not vote ; Mr. G. Smith and Mr. Radcliff were both qualifiea to fill the office of auditor. Mr. TITE, M.P., remarked that if they wanted two excellent auditors, the gentlemen proposed were the men to elect, but as Mr. G. Smith had done good service to the company on various occa sions, and was well acquainted with the affairs of the company, he thought they would do well to elect him to fill the vacancy. On a shew of hands 75 appeared in favour of Mr. Smith, and a much smaller for Mr. Radeliff. The chairman declared that Mr. Smith was elected auditor by a large majority. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. SUMMER ASSIZES. HOME CIRCUIT.-GUILDFORD, Aug. 14. It was understood in the town on Monday even ing that the High Sheriff had received the com mands of the judges to be in attendance yesterday morning in the court in which Mr. justice Black burn presided. Accordingly the High Sheriff, in court dress, came into court, and was quickly fol lowed by Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and Justice Blackburn in their robes, escorted by their mar shals and officers. The Lord Chief Justice then called upon the High Sheriff to state whether the placard that had been posted outside the walls of the court had been placed there by his authority ? The High Sheriff replied that it was., The Lord Chief Justice then inquirecl what ex planation he had to give for'such a proceeding? The High Sheriff then rose, and bowing to their lordships and tl,e bar, of whom there was a full attendance, he said he was glad to have that•op portunity f offering an explanation of the course he had pursued in publishing the placard which was now the subject of remark. That course he had not taken without deliberation, and he was bound, with the greatest respect and deference to .their lordships, to affirm that he believed that he had dis charged his duty to the county of Surrey as the high sheriff appointed by her Majesty. He pro ceeded to say that Mr. Justice Blackburn had ordered the court to be cleared of several of the audience, and that the officers effectually executed the command. This he respectfully contended was an illegal act, and had the effect of invalidating the verdicts which had been afterwards returned, and this being so, be considered it obligatory on him to do what he believed the duties of his office required at his hands, viz., to assert the illegality of the course pursued by the learned judge, and to command his officers not again to obey such orders from the court. The High Sheriff then stated that he had left the town on Thursday with their lordships' sanction, that he had departed in terms of amity and good feeling with their lordships, and he now distinctly (Hs.; avo wed ou his honour as an English gentleman the least intention to offer any personal insult to Mr. Justice Blackburn. (Mr. Justice Blackburn bowed his assent to this remark.) He would say, in con clusion, that he desired to treat the court with all respect and submission, and that the step he had taken was taken upon a sound conviction that in ordering an English court of justice to be cleared of the auditory, the learned judge had assumed an illegal authority, and one which he (the High Sheriff) felt bound to disobey as the chief officer of the county. (Some slight applause occasionally greeted the High Sheriff's observations.) Their lordships having briefly consulted, The Lord Chief Justice, amidst breathless silence, said that the court had heard with anxiety and sorrow the statement which the High Sheriff had addressed to them, amounting as it did to .an entire justification of what their lordships, as her Majesty's judges of assize, sitting as the represen tatives of the sovereign, felt to be a most improper, unlawful, and unseemly contempt of their office, and of the administration of justice. The High Sheriff had most unquestionably mistaken his law to the dtmost, and he (the Lord Chief Justice) now declared that the power and authority of her Majesty's judges, acting in pursuance of her Ma jesty's commission, were perfectly well defined and establishe3, and that the course taken by his learned brother was one which he had the most undoubted right to adopt. His lordship said that he at once conceded that English courts of justice were open to the public in the fullest sense, and he trusted they ever would remain so ; but it was going far beyond either law or necessity to avow, as the high sheriff had done, that there was no power reposed in the presiding judge to order such modifications of the arrangements of the court as were indispensable to that which it was"the office of a judge to carry out, N;Z., the efficient adminis- , tration of justice. His lordship then adverted to the great structural inconvenience of the courts in which the judges had presided, and to the fact that his learned brother had ordered the lower part of the court open to the street, and - not the other parts of the court, to be cleared, because the examination of witnesses in criminal cases, when prisoners were standing on their trial, were inaudible to the court and jury, and this was surely a transparent neces sity for the order which his learned brother had conveyed to the officers of the high sheriff. His lordship then observed that the high sheriff had not made the least complaint or remonstrance be fore he left the assize town, and stated that the court were nevertheless perfectly assured that the high sheriff, who was an honourable English gen tleman, neither had intended, nor was he capable of offering any personal indignity to her Majesty's judges ; but the course the high sheriff had pursued was clearly a painfully contumacious contempt of the court as such, and a most serious reflection upon the authority of the judges' commission, which emanated from the throne, and demanded, espe cially from the high sheriff, as one of her Majesty's important officers of justice, obedient and respectful observance. ' The Lord Chief Justice then fined the high sheriff £5OO, and the fine was immediately recorded. The business of the assizes was brought to a con clusion late last night. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY CHEAP EXCURSION to WEYMOUTH, Diprchester, &c.—On SATURDAY, August 25, an EXCURSION TRAIN will leave Paddington at 3.30 p.m., and Reading at 3.40 p.m., for Chippenham, Melksham, Trowbridge, Westbury, and Promo (lares,l6s. and 65.), Yeovil (11s. and 7s), Dorchester and Weymouth (128. and Bs.) Returning on TUESDAY, August 28, from Weymouth at 7 a.m. . BAILW AY INTELLIGENCE': MIDLAND. The half-yearly meeting was held yesterday at Derby—Mr. S. Beale, M.P., in the chair. An ab stract of the report has appeared in The Snn. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he had only a few remarks to make upon the accounts, which he believed were clear and explicit, and from the communications he had received he thought they were satisfactory. The result of the six months' hard work had been a large increase ofitraffic ; but of that amount about £6,000 or £7,000 was exceptional, and arose from the fact of there being an extra day in the half year. The goods traffic had largely increased— about £2,000 a week, or £50,000 in the half year; there was also a great increase in the coal traffic, which arose, in all probability, from the continued cold weather. To the items under the head " charges" he would call the attention of the pro prietors more in detail, because he wished to con vince them that the dividend had been fairly earned, and to thoroughly satisfy the proprietors on that head, because it was most desirable that they should never be eating into the substance of their property, but that the line was, as it ought to be, in a better state at the end than at the commencement of the half year. Upon maintenance and repair of per manent way they had spent £20,000 more than in the previous half year; in part that increased ex penditure had been rendered necessary in conse quence of the bad state of the weather and. the greater wear upon the road. A plan had also been followed which had been adopted some time since of repairing wooden bridges with stone or iron as circumstances might require. Revenue had also borne the cost of new buildings, extensions of sid ings, &c., so that it could not be said that the pro prietors were getting a dividend by pinching the repairs of the road, or by adding necessary expen diture to the account of capital. The locomotive power had not been increased anything like in proportion to the amount of work done; there had been 500,000 more miles run, and 25 additional engines at work night and day; and the circum stance of their being able to do all this work was the best proof of the accuracy of the reports which had from time to time been made by Mr. Kirtley. He might notice, too, that in doing that additional work they had had less complaints on the subject of detentions than they had ever had before. They had expended considerable sums out of the revenue in the purchase of horses, vans, tarp a ulins, & c ., and as under their new management more stock of that kind would be required they were prepared to apply another £5,000 from revenue for that purpose. In fact he had no hesitation in saying that they had made revenue suffer for the benefit of capital. Some years since they incurred a large expenditure in making their line commensurate to its work. In doing so they created a suspense debt, which it was agreed should be paid off in five years and a-half. He was happy to say that this would be cleared off within four years of the time the obligation was contracted. (Hear, hear.) He mentioned these facts in order to show that the property was in a sound state, and that the shareholders were entitled to every shilling it was proposed to divide. They were working in harmony with other companies ; there was less spirit of aggression among railway companies than formerly existed ; they were all getting richer, and, he supposed, more Conservative. There should be a free interchange of traffic be tween different companies, and the more of that sort of thing there existed the better it would it be for themselves and the public. An arrangement, which had for some time existed between Messrs. Pickford and Company and Messrs. Chaplin and Horne and this company had been brought to a close, its continuance being incompatible with the agency which those firms had with the London and North-Western Company ; but no unfriendly feeling existed, and in the towns where the interests of the two companies did not clash both the firms named would still continue their connexion with the Mid land Company. As to the future, he might state the opinion of the board, that so far as they could see there was nothing to indicate anything else than the steady and progressive improvement of Mid land property. He had never predicted very great results, bat that which had taken place had ex ceeded his most sanguine expectations. Too much of prosperity was not desirable; they must tame care not to be led by it to make too many new lines, and thereby to increase capital, but they must at the same time take care that no adverse interests crept in to punish them. (Hear.) It would be as dangerous to altogether refuse to make extensions on the one hand as to be excited into their con struction by prosperity on the other. It was their duty to consult both the public wants and their own interests carefully and cautiously. He con cluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. HUTCHINSON, the Deputy-Chairman, se conded the motion. _ _ _ A PROPRIETOR asked whether those shareholders who held the 41 per cent. Preference Stock, and through inadvertence neglected to concert it into original stock, might now remedy the error. The CHAIRMAN replied that the time for conver sion was restricted to the 29th of June last, and that the shareholders had no power to alter the law by the extension of the time. The motion for the adoption of the report was then carried unanimously. Resolutions were next submitted declaring a dividend of £3 ss. per cent. upon the old stock, and upon the other stocks as recommended in the report. Votes were next taken for the expenditure of various sums on account of new works. Resolutions were also passed converting certain shares which had been fully paid up into Midland mortgage preference shares • also the £6 preference shares paid up into an irredeemable 41 per cent. preference stock ; and for the conversion of deben tures to the amount of one million into a 4 per cent. preference stock. The meeting was then made special, and the di rectors were empowered to raise a further capital of £930,000, by the issue of 160,000 new shares of £6 4s. each pro rata, one to the holder of every £lOO original stock, and to rank therewith. The first call on these shares of £1 4s. was to be made on the Ist of October. A cordial vote of thanks was passed to the chair man and directors, which concluded the proceed ings. was Mr. J. N. held yesterday at the London Tavern ; Daniell in the chair. The half-yearly meeting m AN ee p tin ß g L o A f e th K is W c A om li p L a . ny • on of the Theile s report, an a a s n ta a k h e s n tr a ac s t re o a f d w . h ieh has appeared in T The CHAIRMAN, in moving . the a do pt i on report, said the propositions therein mentioned, when car r i e d ou t, wou ld go f ar towards establish ing a new traffic on the line. The passeng er traffic, as a whol e , h a d b een as goo d as c i rcum stances would permit. Th e great di f fi cu l ty h a d b een to get a goods traffic on thei r li ne , an d a ft er l o ng and con siderable exertions, the directors had succeeded in getting one or tiro companies to use their line for goods traffic to the river and the city. He wis glad to say that other great railway companies were following the example, and adopting the means of sending goods traffic over the railway to all the docks, with the exception of the St. Katha rine Docks. Goods stations for those companies were being erected on the line, and the station for the Great Northern Railway Company would be ready in a fortnight. They had obtained powers to make a branch line to the London Docks, a goods station for the Midland Railway Company and other , works, for which they would receive in terest on the money expended, and also a rent for the space occupied. The new capital would be raised on shares issued at a discount, so as to give a sufficient inducement to the proprietors to find the necessary capital for the completion of the pro- NORTH LONDON. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Euston Station, Mr. J. Scott in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he had but few observations to make. Before the new capital could be raised some of the proprietors had subscribed £6,344 in anticipation. The directors had since been able to place all the new shares, liquidating £72,000 d ue on loan, an d replacing .ClO,OOO which had been borrowed from revenue. The whole of the rails on the line had been in use nine or ten years, and they were now being replaced by a better kind of rail, which ad mitted of their being fished at the joints. The bad weather had much affected their passenger traffic, so that in June there was a falling off in the receipts of £974, as compared with the corresponding month of last year. They had, however, done well with the coal an.d goods traffic. Since the last meeting they had had five very superior engines delivered for the conveyance of the goods traffic, and their rolling stock had been much improved. Mr. CREED seconded the motion for the adoption of the report. Mr. HERAPATH wished to know whether in re laying the line, they had laid down heavier rails : the fishing was a great advantage, and he hoped the effect of the expenditure would be to improve their line considerably. He thought the traffic on the line was going on well, and that the report was very satisfactory. Mr. CHUBB explained that the old rails were " bull-headed" and could not be fished, but the new rails were double-headed and fished at the joints, which would make a much better line than the old one. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, de dazing a dividend of 10s. per cent. for the past half-year on the consolidated stock of the company, and authorising the directors to borrow any sum or sums of money not exceeding in the whole £50,000. On the motion of Mr. Iferapatb, seconded by Mr. Saunderson, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman and directors, and to Mr. Chubb, the manager, for their great attention to the interests of the company. EAST ANGLIAN. The adjourned special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern to receive the result of the poll upon the motion for a com mittee of investigation. Mr. Bruce in the chair. The CHAIRMAN read the report of the scrutineers, which stated that there were recorded against the resolution for the appointment of a committee of in vestigation 2,692 votes, representing £202,228 of ordinary stock, 548 votes representing £14,600 of A 5 per cent. stock, 373 votes representing £4,048 of 7 per cent. stock, 2,746 vote 3 representing £53,222 B stock, and 1,017 votes representing £17, 932 of C stock.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT-LIVERPOOL, Aug. 14 Mr. Baron Martin took his seat on the bench in ,he Crown Court this morning at 9 o'clock. WIFE MURDER IN LIVERPOOL. Thomas Raw•linson, aged 41, carter, was indicted on the coroner's warrant with the wilful murder of his wife, on the 15t of June last. Mr. Preston appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Pope defended the prisoner. In this case the prisoner and his deceased wife lived in a cellar, in Mason street, Wapping. The prisoner was a carter, and the deceased was an ha bitual drunkard. On the day in question, the de ceased and two women (each of whom were called as witnesses), were drinking in the cellar at 10 o'clock in the morning, Mrs. Rawlinson being at that time in an almost helpless state of intoxication. The women left about 11 o'clock, and the deceased went to bed in a back cellar. About half-past 12 o'clock the prisoner went home to get his dinner; knocked at the door several times, but received no answer, and then inquired of one of the women (Holland) where his wife was. The reply given was, " She is again drunk in bed." The prisoner then went again to the door, and his wife opened it for him. He asked his wife what there was for dinner, when she made use of some flippant and foul expression towards him. He said, " It is a very hard thing for a man to come home after a day's work and find nothing for him." The deceased then ran into the back cellar, and the witness saw him strike her on the forehead with a saucepan, and she fell. The prisoner, after that, was very anxious about his wife, and had her washed and put to bed, but later in the day she was conveyed to the Southern Hospital, where she died. In the cross examination all the witnesses admitted that the prisoner was a steady, sober, and industrious man. The jury returned a verdict of guilty of man slaughter, with a recommendation to mercy. His Lordship, in passing sentence upon the pri soner, said the jury had found the only verdict they could under the circumstances. There was no doubt the deceased came by her death from a blow with a saucepan, under the moet miserable circum stances. It was very wrong to use such a weapon, and, as he could not look over the offence alto gether, he should sentence the prisoner to one month's imprisonment. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—A two 14, OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) David Wemys Jobson, a well-dressed man with a large black beard and moustache, surrendered to take his trial for misdemeanour, in having threat ened to publish certain libellous matters reflecting upon the character of Sir James Fergusson, with a view to extort money. In other counts of the in dictment the defendant was merely charged with publishing a libel. The defendant merely pleaded not guilty. Mr. Giffard and Mr. Poland conducted the pro secution ; the defendant conducted his own case. Mr. John Allen Quintin, a gentleman connected with the publication called 7 he Leisure _Hour, was then examined, and he deposed that the defendant had been in the habit of contributing to it, and he called for some money and wrote a note to the secretary, the work being published by the Reli gious Tract Society, which was produced and read. It contained a statement to the effect that the de fendant was compelled to ask for money in conse quence of his having been robbed by Sir James Fergusson, and. he alluded to that gentleman in a most offensive manner. . _ The witness was cross-examined at considerable length by the defendant, but he did not elicit any thing that at all bore upon the case. Mr. Disraeli was then sworn. He said—l am POLILT INTELLIGENCE-Aug. 14. MANSION-TIOUSE.—David Foster, a tailor, 33 years of age, living in Rose and Crown-court, Half-moon-street, was charged with an assault upon his wife. The Lord Mayor told the prisoner it was a brutal and unmanly assault ; besides, he appeared to have treated her so ill that she was compelled to leave him a few months after marriage. The sentence of the Court was that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two calendar months. His lordship ad vised the wife to go to the union with her child. The Lord Mayor has received from a lady, sign ing " C. P.," is. 6d. for the four Irish boys, or phans, who recently applied for relief to the court in a state of distress. In the case of James Lee, a decayed actor, who was brought before the court on Friday, charged with begging, and who, in consideration of a state ment he made as to his age and infirmities, was discharged with an admonition, his lordship took occasion to say that he had since received several sums of money for his use from benevolent persons, but that, in consequence of a commu nication which had been addressed, to him from a quarter where Lee was well known, to the effect that he was not a person deserving of sympathy or charity, he (the Lord Mayor) should reta in the mone y until he received the directions of t he donors as to its dis posal.

SUSPECTED DEATH FROM POlSON.—Yesterday afternoon an inquest was opened by Mr. Wakley at the Board-room of the Marylebone Workhouse, touching the death of John Conway, aged 45, a bootmaker, who resided in Marylebone-court, and which is suspected to have been caused by poison. It appeared from the evidence of John Conway, the deceased's son, that his father was a member of a burial club, from which the sum of SS would be paid for the expenses of his funeral. He died on Friday night after a sudden illness of less than twenty-four hours' dura tion. He Lad always been a very sober man. Dr. Clapp, the parochial medical officer, stated that he attended the deceased two or three hours before his death. In conse quence of information which he had received he had felt it neoessary to perform a post mortem examination of the body, which had led to the conclusion that death had been caused by acute peritonitis. He found a dark fluid and dark patches in the stomach of an unusual and suspicious character. He had, however, made a pathological exami nation simply and not a chemical one, and he should ask for an opportunity of making the latter. The coroner said the case was a most suspicious one, and it was . very desir able that course sho u ld be adopted, and the i nquiry was ' accordingly adjourned.
