LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Ronny.) IN THE MATTER OF COLSTON'S HOSPITAL.-FROM CHAMBERS FOR JUDGMENT. place on the premises of Mr. Wilkshire, in the Whitechapel road, on the night of the 12th or morning of the 13th of January last, when property to the amount of £675 was stolen therefrom, _ _ His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—This is a ques tion whether the charity, known by the name of Colston's Hospital, should be removed from St. Augustine's Back, a place in Bristol, where it has remained since its foundation, to a place called St. Stapleton's-park, in the immediate neighbourhood of Bristol, about three miles from its present station, and about two and a half miles from the centre of the town of Bristol. His Honour, on review ing the evidence on both sides, was satisfied that the trans ference from the old to the new site was for the benefit and advantage of the charity. It had been urged in favour of the present site, by gentlemen residing in the city of Bristol, that this charity erection was a great ornament to the city ; that it had a great effect, not only as an adorn ment of the place in the original erection of this charity, but it was a perpetual testimony to Mr. Colston, the founder of the charity, who was one of the citizens of Bristol when he founded this charity. To the inhabitants of Bristol it was a matter of the greatest importance to retain it in its pre sent site, not only as an incitement to benevolence, but also in respect of its utility and convenience. His Honour con sidered he was not entitled to give effect to these local sen timents in opposition to the real interest of the charity. He thought it was for the benefit of the boys to transfer the building from the old to the new site. They would have better air and more healthy exercise, and would be enabled to attend the annual birth-day processions in Bristol, in com memoration of the founder, the same as formerly. He thought the transference from the old to the new site was beneficial for all parties, and he was supported in this opinion by the opinions of a large majority (almost unani mous) of the governors, managers, and nominees of the charity and most of the influential citizens and burgesses of Bristol. He regretted, however, that there was a respect able minority, and in particular the heir of the family of the founder, who was in favour of the present site ; but the preponderance of evidence was greatly in favour of the trans ference to the new site. His Honour decreed the removal of Colston's hospital from St. Augustine's Back, Bristol, to St. Stapleton's-park, near Bristol. A reference was made to chambers to consider the best mode of carrying the order into effect. No costs on either side, but the nominees will have their costs and the Attorney-General his costa. Two persons, named Jacob Ferrier and Caroline Parker, upon whom 11 stolen watches were found, have already been committed for trial for the burglary and robbery. Joseph Brown, a police constable of the City force, stated that yesterday afternoon, in consequence of information, he watched the prisoner in Fleet-street, and saw him come out of a pawnbroker's shop with a watch in his hand. He asked him where he obtained it, to which he replied that he bought it of a man named Reynolds. He asked him where Reynolds lived. The prisoner said "He used to live in Charles-street, Commercial-road, but I don't know where ho lives now." He asked the priitner the number of the house, and his reply was, " I don't know the number, it is from 2.5 to 30." He then told the prisoner he had informa tion that the watch was stolen. The prisoner said " I was not aware it was stolen; I had it from Mr. Reynolds for a debt he owed me." He took the prisoner to the station, where he repeated what he before said, and said to the inspector, " I have another watch in my pocket, perhaps you will say that is stolen." He found two more watches, and they were both identified. Mr. George Wilkshire, jeweller and watchmaker, of No. 245, Whitechapel-road, said his house was broken into on the night of the 12th of January, and watches and jewellery to the amount of 1675 stolen. A hole was made in the wall in the cellar of an adjoining house . . He identified two of the watches produced as his property. They were stolen on the night of the burglary. He knew the prisoner, who had once offered to sell him some watches. _ _ COURT OF BANKRUPTCY THE BLANDFORD BANK. To-day was appointed for the adjourned meeting for con sideration of the certificate of Messrs. Oak and Snow, bankers at Blandford, but it was further adjourned by consent until the 6th of May, as meetings have been called with a view of effecting a compromise with the credi tors and superseding the bankruptcy. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE E. BODY. This bankrupt was described as of Ramsgate, furniture dealer, and this was a meeting for proof of debts, and choice of assignees. The balance-sheet, by Messrs. Hart Brothers, shows debtor to creditors, £1,259; to ditto, holding securities, £1,078. Assets, property, £370; ditto, in the hands of creditors, £1,480 ; good debts, £157 ; doubtful, £3l. (Before Mr. Commisioner Evans.) IN RE CHRISTMAS. This bankrupt was described as of Sheerness and New Brompton, coal merchant, and passed his examination on accounts by Messrs. Hart Brothers. ➢ir. Lawranee was for the bankrupt. IN RE MESNARD. This was a meeting for consideration of the certificate of the bankrupt, a cutler, in George-street, Hanover-square. The accounts, by Mr. March, showed but a small amount of debts. Doria submitted that the case was one of unavoidable loss and misfortune, as the bankrupt had been deceived himself in trade. His Honour said the bankrupt might take a certificate of the second class. SIIERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) SINGULAR BETTING CASE.-IMPORTANT JUDGMENT.- BOLTON V. MARSHALL. Plaintiff and defendant are fellow-servants, at the Auc tion-mart, Ludgate-broadway, and the amount sought to be recovered was 55., alleged to have been lost to defendant as a bet. The circumstances are somewhat peculiar, and the cause arises out of " chaff." According to plaintiff's account, one night defendant came into the wareroom, and, instead of going on with his work, offered to bet with any body, upon anything, and to any amount. Plaintiff refused to bet at first, but, after some joking, he accepted the fol lowing curious wager :—Defendant laid one half-crown to two that he would finish his work before plaintiff made out all his accounts. Plaintiff declared that he only took the wager to humour defendant. "In fun," he put down 55., which defendant took up, and handed to a third person, with his own stake of 2s. 6d. This being somewhat beyond a joke, rather alarmed Mr. Bolton, and he demanded his money back. Defendant said, " Oh, no—a bet's a bet and must stand." As defendant had been devoting some of his leisure time to a sacrifice at the shrine of Bacchus, plaintiff humoured him still further, and went on with his accounts. At twelve o'clock plaintiff had not finished his work, and defendant claimed the stakes. Plaintiff told the stakeholder not to hand over the money, but defendant said he had fairly won the money, and have it he would. The money was then handed to him. Defendant denied that he had been imbibing from the flowing bowl, and declared that he was perfectly sober. The bet was a unanimous one, and he (defendant) did not hear plaintiff demand his money back. His Honour (to plaintiff)—Will you swear that you de manded your money from the stakeholder ? Plaintiff—l do. Mr. J. R. Collins, of the East India-road, identified a third watch taken from the prisoner. It was stolen on Monday last from a young gentleman, named George Fowler, in the Commercial-road East. The young gentle man was now at school in Morden, Surrey. Mr Elliott remanded the prisoner for a week. His Honour—ln that case, as either party can withdraw from a bet at any time, it must be a verdict for plaintiff. OUT OF COURT.-SCHOENEG.iN Y. 110 W. This was a case that had been "settled out of court" after plaintiff had paid the hearing fees. Mr. Buchanan, who appeared for the plaintiff, called that person, and said that the plaintiff and defendant had come to terms out of court, and that all plaintiff now wanted was his hearing fees and costs. His Honour—l could not think of such a thing. Plain tiff was out of court. (Laughter.) Mr. Buchanan—Oh, no ; he is in the boa now. (Laugh ter.)he is there, certainly, individually; His Honour—Ye s / but in law we can't see him. He should have settled for his costs with the debt. Mr. Buchanan—Well, I can only act up to my instruc tions. You have our hearing fees, though you won't see us. (Laughter.) BILLINGS V. SIMMONDS-CAUSE FOR DISMISSAL. This was an action for wages in lieu of notice. Plaintiff admitted that he had been absent on two or three occasions from the office only in the morning. On the last occasion, upon arriving, he found a note directing him to leave out his key and leave the office. Defendant said he had warned plaintiff several times about leaving the office unattended, and had told him that the.next offence would be punished with summary dis missal. On the morning in question defendant found that plaintiff was not at the office by 11 o'clock, and he (defen dant) discharged him. Verdict for defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS--FEB. 23. :Before tho Lord Chief Justice, Sir A. Cockburn, and a - Special Jury.) GARDNER Y. GODFREY. This trial was resumed this morning, the court being, as on all former occasions, crowded to excess. The learned judge having summed up, The jury retired at 20 minutes to four, and after an ab sence of one hour, returned a verdict for the defendant, but stated that they fully exculpated the father and son from the calumnies that had been uttered against them. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(T-FIIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PICKING POCKETS AT THE ST. JAMES'S HALL.—George Jones, 14, address refused, was charged with attempting to pick pockets at the St. James's-Hall, Regent-street, andalso with having in his possession a gold watch, a purse con taining £1 lls. 4d., and a railway pass, supposed to be stolen. Sergeant Gideon Crocker, 9C, said about half-past 11 on the previous night he was standing at the foot of the prin cipal staircase as the audience was coming out, when he saw the prisoner following a gentleman said two ladies. Seeing him pass from right to left, he followed him into Regent-street, when the ladies and gentleman having got into a cab ho saw the prisoner stand on the kerbstone and begin crying out for " Mrs. Payne's carriage." He asked whathe was bawling fur, whenhe said, "My mamma is in the hall and I'm getting her carriage. I reside in the Regent's park." He then began crying, and said he was respectable. The gentleman who had entered the cab interceded on the prisoner's behalf, but he told him he would not give him up till he saw the lady the prisoner spoke of. On search ing him he found 18s. 101 d. in two pockets, and on asking him how he accounted for themoney, he said, "My mamma gave it to me for pocket money." On a second search, at the station-house, he found lls. 101 in a purse, a rail way pass in the name of Budd, and a lady's gold Geneva watch, with the ring broken, fell from the lining of his coat. The prisoner said he found the things. Mr. Inspector Steer asked for a remand, which was granted. On the prisoner was afterwards found some accounts, in the name of "D. W. Davis." THAMES. THE LITE EXTENSIVE BURGL.iItY IN THE WHITE CHAPEL-ROAD.—Peter Johnson, an old man, who, up to the time of his apprehension, was dwelling in a small and dirty room at No. 39, Collingwood-street, Bethnal-green, was brought before Mr. Elliott charged with being con cerned ha the extensive burglary and robbery which took ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

James Romilly 3,311 Majority for James.. 5,376 WORCESTERSHIRE (EAST). The result of the poll turns out to be even more favourable for the Liberal candidate than had been announced on Tuesday night, and the following statement was admitted by the friends of Mr. Pakington yesterday to be correct : Polling Places. Calthorpe. Pakington. Shepston-on-Stour 67 .. .. 115 Evesham Pershore Droitwich 163 .... 220 Stourbridge Dudley 360 .... 182 Halesowen Kingsnorton Bromsgrove 245 .... 233 Total 2,291 , 1,958 Majority for Mr. Calthorpe, 333. Mr. Calthorpe's committee vary the above num bers slightly, and only claim a majority of 321 ; but, whichever side is correct, there can be no doubt that the result is what neither party expected. Both parties have all along claimed a majority of promises. but it was never supposed that the ma jority on either side would exceed 150 or 200, and bets were heavily laid on that event. The great strength of the successful (Liberal) party was in the manufacturing districts of Stourbridge, Hales owen, and Dudley, while the agricultural districts of Droitwich, Evesham, Pershore, and Shipston polled in favour of the Conservative candidate. The votes in the Brom3grove district were pretty well equalized, and here the near balance of parties led to some breach of the peace in the course of the evening, and apprehensions of a riot were enter tained. It commenced by a scramble for some halfpence, thrown out of the committee room of Pakington at the Old Crown Inn. The halfpence were thrown by the crowd at the inn windows, and this led to other missiles of more formidable size being also projected. The windows were broken, a portion of the mob broke into the hotel, and it was not until the Riot Act was read by a magistrate that the crowd began to disperse. The few police on the spot could do little to quell the disturbances, and the military having been sent for a troop arrived from Birmingham about nine o'clock at night, but by that time the town was in a state of comparative quiet. An extra body of police also arrived about the same time, but their services were not required. The total number of voters on the register is 5,924, and it will be seen that 4,249 recorded their votes. This is fully as many as were expected, in conse quence of there being a great many doubly regis tered, and the numerous deaths and changes of qualification that had taken place. The declaration will be made by the High Sheriff at Droitwich to-day (Thursday.) BURY ST. EDMUND'S. No address has yet appeared from any candidate for the vacant seat for Bury St. Eimunds, but it is confidently stated that Lord Alfred Hervey, brother of the present Marquis of Bristol, will be returned unopposed. The funeral of the late Marquis will take place to-day (Thursday), his lordship's remains having lain . in state at Ickworth yesterday ; and some movement will probably be made by Lord Alfred Hervey when the interment of his father has taken place. Some of the Liberal electors have held a meeting to consider what steps shall be taken by their party, but the conference only re sulted in an adjournment, and, from the respect in which the Hervey family are held in Bury, it is not considered probable that a second candidate will be brought forward. Lord Alfred Hervey's politics are Liberal Conservative. STATE OP TRADE. LEICESTER, Feb. 23.—There continues to be a l tolerable amount of business doing in hosiery for the period of the year ; the demand, however, ex tends principally to goods of a useful and general character, the fancy trade being dull. Upon the whole, business is healthy, and the operatives generally employed. Trade in the country districts remains without material change. Yarns continue in fair request, spinners being well employed. All superior descriptions of work are dear. NOTTINGHAM, Feb. 23.—The lace trade improves very slowly, and there is by no means the same quantity of business as is usual at this period of the year. The goods in request are still principally of a plain description. The fancy cotton trade con tinues flat. In silk goods the market is very quiet. The hosiery trade is in a very healthy condition. All branches producing goods of a useful character are busy, and indeed have been so for some time past, with every prospect of a continuance in the demand. Some excellent orders are on hand, and some departments have not been so actively em ployed for several years past. At Sutton-in-Ash field, Mansfield, and other country hosiery districts, business continues active, and the o peratives are well employed. Yarns have an upward tendency; in silk no material change. DEATH OF A FEMALE BY FIRE.—On Tuesday evening Police-constable Felstock, East, was called to the house, 7, Northumberland -street, Greenwich, which was supposed to be on fire. O .landlady of n the street doo r hor bein usg forced open, Mrs. Kemberley, thee, was found lying in the passa ge with her clothes enveloped in flames. The husband, who had just returned home, with the assistance of some neighbours, succeeded in extinguish ing the flames, and M r. Co g an, a medical gentleman resid ingintheneighbourho?d, was sent for, who, on arriving, pro nounced life to be extinct, the body presenting a shocking spectacle. It appears that the deceased had been left by her husband about an hour previously, she being at that time considerably under the influence of liquor, and sitting at a table on which was placed a lighted candle, against which it is supposed the ill-fated woman must have fallen and set her cap on fire, tho flames communicating to other portions of her dress on her rushing into the passage. The body of the deceased, who w ax in h er forty-fifth year, awaits a, coroner's inquest. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. LINCOLN RACES. (THIS DAY).

Lord STANLEY of ALDERLE Y said ho observed that the report of the commissioners upon manning the navy which was now in the hands of their lordships was not accompanied by a copy of the commission itself, and he also saw that the report was not signed by the whole of the commissioners ; there being an absence of the name of one gentleman possessed of con siderable knowledge upon the subject of the navy. H e should like to know how it was that the report was not signed by the whole of the commissioners. The Earl of HARDWICKE stated that a copy of the commission would appear with the appendix to the report in the course of a few days, together with a paper by Mr. Lindsay, containing his reasons for not affixing his signa ture to the report. THE lONIAN ISLANDS. Earl GREY asked the Government whether there would be any objection to lay upon the table of the house a copy of the resolutions laid before the lonian Parliament by the Lord High Commissioner, together with Mr. Gladstone's address. They were merely formal documents which had already been made public. The Earl of DERBY said it would be hi hly incon venient to lay on the table the documents respecting the lonian Islands, as it would open the door for a discussion of the whole subject, and he therefore thought it would be best if they were not produced before the whole question could be discussed. He had received a telegram from Mr. Gladstone, announcing that he would arrive in Paris on the 9th of March, and if the noble earl would postpone his motion respecting the consti tution of the lonian Islands from the 7th to the 14th of March; all the papers relating to the subject would in the meantime be laid before their lordships. Earl GREY said he would, under those circumstances, postpone his motion. PRE-PAYMENT OF LETTERS. Lord MONTEAGLE complained of the recent order enforcing the prepayment of letters. He objected most strongly to it, and moved for certain returns connected with the order. Lord COLCHESTER said he should have no objection to produce the papers ino-red for. He believed still that the order was one calculated to facilitate the business of the Post-office, and well adapted for the public good. In con sequence of the feeling that had been shown against the regulation in so many places he had decided on giving orders for its withdrawal. (Hear, hear.) The Duke of SOMERSET thought some plan ought to be adopted by which letters addressed to large commercial towns should be delivered at a much earlier period in the morning than they were at present, such an arrangement would be a great convenience to a large number of mer cantile and commercial gentlemen. After a few words from the Duke of ARGYLL the subject dropped. THAMES WATERMEN AND LIGHTERMEN'S BILL. This bill was read a second time. ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS AND REGISTRIES BILL. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE moved the second read ing of this bill. Lord CRANWORTH said he had no objection to the bill, although he thought as the bill had only been delivered yesterday there had been scarcely sufficient time allowed to become fully acquainted with its provisions. He had himself a short time ago introduced a bill on the subject, but it was objected to by the ecclesiastical bench, and now the object he sought to attain by one bill was about to be effected by two. The Bishop of OXFORD entered his protest against the bill. The bill was then read a second 'time and ordered to be committed on Monday. RXAMINATION OF PRISONERS. Lord BROUGHAM laid on the table a bill to enable accused persons in criminal cases to be examined on oath if they desired it. The noble and learned lord said when he introduced a bill with the like object in civil eases, it had been said that perjury would be encouraged, but the actual result - had been directly the opposite. He thought it but justice that all persons accused of any offence should have an opportunity of per sonally making their defence. Lord CAMPBELL opposed the bill. By the measure just introduced, persons accused of high treason could, if they chose, demand to be examined on oath. He viewed with alarm any such provision. His noble and learned friend wished to introduce into this country that most objection able system now adopted in France. Lord BROUGHAM denied that there was the slightest analogy . between his bill and the French system of examination of prisoners. He thought the change he suggested would work most advantageously, and be a great improvement to the criminal law. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS EVENING).

Colonel BIDDULPH moved that the petition of George Hammond Whalley, complaining of statements made to the select committee on standing orders by the opponents to the Ruabon and Denbigh Railway (Llangollen section) Bill, be referred to the select committee on standing orders; and that it be an instruction to the committee to inquire whether an allegation contained in such petition, that a cer tain wood, stated in the said statement to be an ornamental wood, is not a wood of that nature, is well founded ; and whether, in the event of such allegation being well founded, it is expedient to dispense with the standing orders in re spect of the said bill. That the report of the said committee of the 17th inst. on the said bill, the petition for leave to bring in the said bill, and the report of the examiner thereon, be referred back to the committee. —Agreed to.

THE WAR OFFICE. Capt. VIVIAN gave notice that he would move for a select committee to inquire into the working o f the War office, and to the best means of securing the greatest amount of efficiency in the military service combined with economy. THE WAR ESTIMATES. Mr. WILLIAMS gave notice that on going into com mittee on the war estimates, he would m ove that such esti mates be referred to a select committee. MEDALS AND PRIZE MONEY FOR THE NAVY. Sir G. B. PECHELL asked the medals and of t Ad miralty, if it was intended to award medal:3 ad money . to the officers and seamen of her Majesty s Navy for those gallant and successful operations in China which had been the means of bringing that war to a satisfactory conclu sion ? Sir J. PAKINGTON said it was not intended to distri bute any prizes to the naval officers and seamen engaged during the war in China. Ho would not then make any sta t emen t relative to prize money. SEIZURE OF THE HERALD. Mr. AYRTON asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what steps had been taken by her Majesty's Government respecting the seizure of the Herald re b l y at t m. h g e Portuguese authorities, and whether the papers thereto would be laid upon the table of the house. Mr. S. FITZGERALD said that the matter had been under the consideration of the Government. Some infor mation had been received, but it was necessary to make some further inquiry. THE NAVAL MEDICAL SERVICE. Sir E. PERRY asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, on going into the navy estimates on Friday next, he would be enabled to state the decision of the Government as to the claims of the navy medical ser vice to be placed on a footing of equality with the army medical service in point of rank and other advantages, such as they enjoyed before the issuing of the Royal war rant of October, 1858. Sir J. PAKINGTON said that it appeared he had been misunderstood in -his reply to a similar question the other night. He repeated that when he brought forward the navy estimates he would state his general views on the sub ject. THE NAVY. Sir C. NAPIER moved for returns of the steamers on the home station in commission and manned, their force and steam power ; of the first reserve, and the men borne on their books ; of the ships in the second reserve, and their state ; of the steamers abroad ; of the steamers in the third reserve, and their state andof the steamers building; of the steamers converting, the probable time they will be ready ; of the ships built and broken up since 1851, specifying those never at sea, and of the ships altered. Mr. WALPOLE stated that the documents i h n question were not yet prepared, b ut when they wer ready e would lay them on the table. THE NAVY ESTIMREATES.—PARLIAMENTARY FORM. Sir J. PAKINGTON said, with reference to th e Navy Estimates which he proposed to bring forward to-morrow e y e nipg, that at the noble lordthe member icr Tiverton had given notice of his intention to submit a motion to the house which would review the question of foreign policy, and probably lead to a debate. The hon. member for Montrose, and other hon. members, had notices of mo tion for to-morrow evening, and it would be difficult for him, wider the circumstances, to state what course he would pursue ; but if he could not bring forward the estimates by Friday, he would postpone them till Monday, and the Chancellor of the Excehequer would have to postpone hi s motion on Parliamentary reform. Lord PALMERSTON said, so far as his motion was concerned—he could not speak for others—he did not think that it would materially interfere with the introduction of the estimates. But the right honourable gentleman (Sir J. Pakington) stated that he would not bring forward the estimates after eight o'clock,lbut when he (Lord Palmerston) was Seecretary for War he brought on estimates at amuchlater hour in the evening, and hethought the fact was the right hon. gentleman merely wanted an opportunity to postpone the motion on Parliamentary re form. (Cries of " Hear, hear," and "No, no.") EDUCATION AND CHRISTIANITY IN INDIA. Mr. WARREN, in stating that he withdraw the series of resolutions of which he had given. notice on this subject, en t ere d i n t o a l eng th ene d statement as to the motives that induced him to do so, and stated that being pledged to bring the subject forward ho would not have accepted the office of Commissioner of Lu nacy if he had been precluded from doing so that evening ; but there were other circumstances than his acceptance of the office in question that induced him to abandon his in tention. The learned gentleman then stated that he was retiring from the house, and took farewell of the members. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. Mr. CAIRD moved the following resolution :—" That it would be advantageous to the public interests that Go vernment should ascertain and publish periodically the agricultural statistics of Great Britain, in so far as they relate to the extent of acres under the several crops of corn, vegetables, and grass. He contended it was most de sirable that the information in question should be collected with the census, and presented in that form to the public. Then there were no difficulties in obtaining this information that could not be surmounted, and they could obtain the estimate when the crops were being gathered. If the Government would only take up the subject earnestly, they would be sure to succeed, and they could enlist the police as an efficient agency in obtaining the necessary information which would prove most beneficial to the agriculturist, the merchant, the banker, and the shipowner. The necessity for securing all the information they could on the subject was most im minent. They might be on the eve of a continental war, and it was a fact that the source from which they derived one fourth of their supply was dried up. He meant America, from which country he did not think they would receive any more corn, or other grain, till August next. Mr. GARNETT said that from personal knowledge of ;he subject he had no apprehension of any injurious result from collecting the proposed statistics, and he would second the motion. - Mr. BENTINCK, in opposing the motion, said that it would be impossible to carry out the principle of any bill on the subject without the introduction of the compul sory clause. He considered that the hon. member (Mr. Caird) had not studied the subject sufficiently, and he (Mr. Bentinck) could not see what class would be benefited by a bill founded on the motion. He hoped under the circumstances that the house would not accept the motion of the hon. member, or adopt an abstract motion. Mr. PHILLIPS opposed the motion, which he thought would do injury than benefit, in consequence of its being an affectation of accuracy where accuracy could not be ob tained, and therefore likely to mislead. Mr. HOLLAND and Mr. MILLS also opposed the motion. Mr CAIRD replied, and read letters from distinguished farmers in this country and Scotland in favour of his Views, and stating that the farmers generally were not adverse to agricultural statistics. [LEFT SITTING.) SOUTH-EASTERN RAIL WA I. HALF-YEARLY MEETING-(THIS DAY). The ordinary half-yearly meeting of proprietors was held this day at the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge— Byng, Esq., in the chair. The report, which has already appeared in The Sun, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN said it was gratifying that the gross re ceipts for the past half-year had increased by upwards of £18,500 compared with the corresponding half year of 1858. The hon. gentleman then alluded to other items mentioned in the report, which stated that the total outlay on capital account had been £26,860 ss. 4d. ; the principal items of expenditure having been incurred in providing additional goods waggons and in erecting permanent instead of timber stations at Maidstone and Margate. New stations have also been provided at Belvedere, on the North Kent line ; at the North Camp, Aldershot; and at Wellington College, Sand hurst ; the expenditure on these accountshaving previously received the sanction of the proprietors. An expenditure of £578 13s. 6d. has boon incurred in providing a slipway at Folkestone harbour for facilitating the repairs of the com pany's steam packets ; and the sanction of the proprietors is requested to this outlay. The directors are proceeding with the sale of the company's surplus lands as favourable opportunities occur; the amount realised from this source during the last half-year has been £7,601 17s. Bd. Mean while, from the remainder of surplus property undisposed of, a satisfactory rental continues to be derived. The pro vision of a convenient West-end terminus for the passenger traffic of the South-Eastern Railway has been repeatedly brought under the notice of the proprietors. At the special meeting held on the 9th of July, 1857, the directors informed them of the pledge which they had been required to give by the committee of the House of Commons that they would " recommend their proprietors to promote, or concur in the prosecution, in the next session of Parlia ment, of such a scheme as should effectually supply access to the West-end of London, and so complete the syste:n of railway communication for Kent and the Continent." At a subsequent meeting, held on the 25th of February, 1858, the extension of the South-Eastern lines of railway from London-bridge to Charing-cross was dis cussed; and the proprietors were then informed of the pro bability of a company being formed for the purpose of carrying out this object. Since then a company has been formed, plans of the projected railway have been prepared and deposited, and the necessary steps have been taken to proceed with the bill in the present session of Parliament. The provision of such a terminus would, in the opinion of the directors, not only fully satisfy the requirements of Par liament with reference to a convenient West-end terminus for South-Eastern purposes, but would materially strengtho n the - position of the company, and largely increase its traffic, by bringing the railway into direct , contact at many new points with the population of the metropolis ; and the direc tors recommend the proprietors to authorise the subscrip tion by the company of such an amount of capital in the undertaking as will enable them to secure for South-Eastern interests the full advantages to be derived from the forma ; tion of the proposed railway. The report, after some discussion, was agreed to. 5 After the other business mentioned in the report had :• been disposed of the proceedings terminated. TIIIS D..4.Y 'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE.

THE EPPING FOREST MYSTERY.--The police have at last succeeded in tracing, to some extent, the wan derings of the unfortunate woman whose body, with that of her child, was found in a pond in Epping Forest. It appears that, after leaving her situation at Tottenham, she proceeded to Hackney, and from thence to - Uxbridge. At the last-named place she made inquiries as to the nearest route to Norwich, and on being informed, retraced her journey to B ren tf or d . H ere f or som e time she subsisted by begging. She then proceeded to Woodford, and was seen going towards Epping. About two miles from Woodford is the pond. Here the last sad act of her life was played out. Being penniless, and despairing of assistance from her worthless seducer, there is every reason to suppose she use driven to commit the rash act which deprived he rself and her child of life.—Zssex ,5..~ ~ Tease
