Offices : 9, Billiter-street, London. and The Directors give notice that, in consequence of the great . undiminished demand for Steam Vessels upon th e Indian rivers, and the wide field presenting Itself for their profitable V ii Ployment, they have resolved to double , the capital o f the enipany. ...The Directors have the satisfaction of announcing that the steamers and barges, consisting of twelve vessels in all, which the forwarded from this country in August last , have now awed safely in India, and will commence plying upon tha r ivers without delay. An equal number of vessels of still greater power is at present In preparation, and will be sent out as soon as possible. Before embarking In the present undertaking the Directors had not only satisfied themselves of its eminently profitable bature, but they had secured for it the marked co-operation of the Indian Government, by the acquisition of a subsidy; and the Government, both by the gift of land for stations, Workshops, and depots, of wood for fuel, and in every other Way, has rendered every possible aid to the present under taking. At the same time the Directors have insured cora *Leto exemption from Government control and interference ; and this is the only Company so distinguished which pos sesses any Government support. The Directors have the satisfaction of finding that not only the Reports of the Company's servants in India, but the Whole concurrent testimony of the advices received from that country, through whatever channel, completely confirms the favourable anticipations they long since formed of the profit able character of the present undertaking. It would be im possible, however, within the limits of an advertisement, to r ecapitulate the numerous evidences of this truth which the Directors are constantly receiving ; and they content them "lves, therefore, with giving the following quotation from a rent leading article in the "Times," which shows that simi lar information had been reaching that paper throug h its Indian correspondents. From the 'Times,' Jan. 29, 1859. "It is not only Government but the whole nation that seems te aliss. Any day during the last year we might have filled our columns with the complaints of shipbuilders at the de tittle of their trade, owing in a great measure to the happy te rmination of the Russian War. But what do we now hear from India ? They wonder there what our shipbuilders are about. Month after month they are expecting the steamers that 1 " to come. The Indian General Steam Navigation Company declare this month,' says our correspondent, a dividend r l OO and upwards per cent. The Home Government had aen requested to send out. six river steame r s , and it had sent t only one, which, it said, would be enough.' 'Next month,' continues our informant, 'the Indian Government had to en tage all the freight of six for two trips at a price which would ave bought the new vessels wanted twice over. There is _ Leorn and work, we are told, for 300 steamers on the Ganges alone, flowing, as it.does, through a territory with a popula °,„n of 350 to the square mile , with an e x p ort trade of -I' o ,ooooooo, and an internal trade beyond human ca lculation. et, with this vast opening before us, there are found men in th e Prime of life, neither schoolboys nor dotards, who can Waste their time in holding meetings and memorialising Go vernment to find them customers for their shipping. Many 'Virile ere this has war ministered to peace, infusing a quicker clement enterprise and its idle, dreamy soul. To this Mutiny , p erha p s, Iv' e owe the real opening of the Indian nav i g ation to British er and the railways which are certain to follow. But verbum sat ; we have said enough to start our shipbuilders and shipowners, if they are Englishmen." The Directors have all along felt that neither the vessels which they have alreidy sent to India, nor those which they Bare at present in preparation, could do much to satisfy the great want of Inland Steam Navigation which exists in that country. But they have also all along felt that the only safe way of entering upon such an undertaking was not to rush into it with sanc.cuine precipitation, but to advance with gra dual and cautious steps, and without being dazzled by the l arge prospect of profits it holds out. The first steps, how ever, having been successfully taken, the whole of the exist ing' Shares in the Company having been allotted, and being at a premium in the market, and the field being so large as to require a large capital to work it in an efficient manner, the Directors are of opinion that the time is come when the capi tal of the Company may be advantageously increased, and they have, therefore, resolved to raise the capital to half a million sterling without delay. Applications for the new Shares must be forwarded to the Directors, at the offices of the Company, 9, Billiter-street, London, on or before the 28th day of February next. A deposit of two shillings per Share to be made on appli cation, and the Bankers' receipt for that amount to be for- Warded with the application for Shares. The New Shareholders will stand on precisely the same terms as the Original Shareholders, and will participate in the dividend as goon as it is payable. Calls will not be more frequent than once every three months nor for more than £2 per share, at any one time. Five per cent. will be paid upon all calls until the dividend is de clared, and upon all payments in advance of calls. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

An erroneous impression exists that public announcements en these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point of great importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are equally requisite. In the new edition of Self-Preservation,' facts of para mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the Prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation. In cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habitat indiscri minate excesses, improper diet, :hardship, or by iniudicious treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had been pronounced impossible.

His lordship thought he was not, at least up to the time when he took the benefit of the Act; but since that time he had been concerned in trans actions which his lordship said he would wish a friend of his rather to avoid. (Laughter.) Hi s lordship, however, did not find that he (the plain tiff) derived any benefit from them, or that he had defrauded others. He did not rig the market, as some had done, and then sell his shares. Still it would have been better for him if he had continued an inspector of nuisances. His lordship did not think the case was one for merely nominal damages —but the jury would take care that they were not excessive. It gave him (Lord Campbell) great pain to see a journal which had established a character of respectability open its columns to the private enemy of the plaintiff. In so doing it had departed from the system which gave the journal its charie ter, and had done what a journal ought not to do. But if, under pretence of establishing commercial purity, the defendant had opened his columns to the private enemy of the plaintiff he must bear tho burden. His lordship again cautioned the jury against giving the plaintiff vindictive damages, and hoped they would give only what was mode rate and reasonable. The jury, who from the commencement of the trial appeared to have taken a strong view in favour of the plaintiff, retired to consider their verdict, and in a few minutes returned into court and found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages £2OO. SECOND COURT. (Sittings at Nisi Prim, at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice Erle, and a Common Jury.) HANCOCK V. SOAMES. Mr. Rigby Seymour and Mr. Lloyd were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Raymond for the defendant. It appeared that defendant was a gentleman of fortune residing at Lewisham, and the plaintiff was his footman. On the 7th of September, after dinner, at which the plaintiff had waited, he went up stairs to light the lights in the drawing-roam. While doing so the defendant entered the room and asked the plaintiff where he got his drink from. Plaintiff said he did not know what he meant, upon which the defendant pushed him down. The plaintiff got up and seized the defendant by the arms, and held him for some time. The defendant got loose, and then threw the plaintiff over a chair, and hurt him very much. The plaintiff then ran down stairs ; defendant followed him, but did not again strike him. The next morning he showed his arms to the defendant, who said he was sorry for it. The plain tiff then told him he should get a summons against him, and left the house. The defendant told him be . might do what he pleased. The plaintiff swore he was not drunk. The plaintiff then obtained a sum mons, and the parties went before Mr. Traill, and after hearing the case the magistrate told the plain tiff he had better go to a superior court. In cross-examination the plaintiff said—Mr. Traill did not say that I deserved what I got on account of my conduct—not exactly - those words. He said my violence to my mistress was worse than my getting drunk. Fwas out with the carriage that day on the box. My mistress said, " James, are you asleep ?" I said I was not. She said, " Then sit up properly." I said, "I am oSliged to shake about as the carriage shakes," and I said, when she was get ting out of the carriage, " I beg your pardon Ma'am, but if you want another servant you had better get one made for you." I don't consider that imper tinence. I was perfectly sober at the time. I waited at dinner. I did not stumble at dinner, but I had a bad toe ; it just touched a chair, and I flinched a bit. I had only had two glasses of mild ale during the day. I felt very ill, and spoke to an attorney, and he told me to go to a doctor. This was the day after going . before the magistrate. Re-examined—l handed some onion sauce to my master, and he said " D—n that stuff." I had a character of two and a half years. Mr. Warren, an attorney, said he attended before the magistrate with the plaintiff. Evidence was PRICE 4 D • STAMPED, 5D had never been impugned. It was printed without his sanction, but be said he stuck to it to-day that the mineral value of the clay was £lOO,OOO an acre." I know a gentleman named Mingay. I did not tell him the estate was not worth £lO,OOO, that the island was not fit to live in, and that the clay was only fit to make pipes for sanitary purposes. I did not say that, as to what the mines would pro duce, they were almost worthless. I have not said that by that report I had enabled Col. Waugh to get money from Mr. Jolly. I was not told that by that report Col. Waugh had got several thou sands from Mr. Jolly. The witness was then cross examined as to the Kingston Chemical Works, another projected company. When Col. Waugh went to Spain he asked me to sell some copper sent from Spain. I visited Col. Waugh in Spain, and got him to make the affidavit for which I charged £lOO. I after Wards called the attention of Mr. Isaacs to some Portuguese mines. In 1858 I had some offices in Birchin-lane. The three mining companies named by counsel were not carried on there. lam secretary of one of them. I assisted in preparin g the prospectuses. lam secretary of one and joint secretary of the other two. Mr. Davis was a shareholder m one. I did not know he had been convicted before Mr. Justice Williams. I was living at Rosemary -cottages Islington. I had given a bill of sale on my furniture. I. occupy offices at No. 27, Lawrence Pountney-lane. There are three companies carried on there. Mr. Barnard was about to re-examine the plain tiff, but The Foreman of the jury rose and said they were quite satisfied with the plaintiff's straightforward answers. Mr. Hawkins then rose and addressed the jury for the defendant, and undertook to prove a justifi cation of the whole of the libels. He denounced the plaintiff as a scheming adventurer, who, from his ex perience, must have known that the speculations in which he engaged, and which, brought before the public, were such as no prudent man ought to em bark in. He had prepared schemes which he must have known to be false and fraudulent. The Sunday Times, knowing that, would not have done their duty to the public if they had not come forward and exposed him. Lord Campbell observed that the defendant had a' perfect right to make any fair comments on the trial; but there was no duty resting on him to inquire into the whole history of the parties, or to bring a charge against them like a public prosecu tor. At the same time the defendant was at liberty to prove all his statements. Mr. Hawkins said his learned friend (Sergeant Ballantine) had eulogised the conduct of the Times, Daily News, and Morning Herald for the comments which they had made on the matters brought for ward at the trial in relation to Colonel Waugh, and, if so, surely the Sunday,Times had an equal right to comment on the conduct of the plaintiff, who had been mixed-up in Colonel Waugh's trans actions. How was it 'that Colonel Waugh defrauded the public ? Was it not by putting forward speculations in which he had been aided by the plaintiff ? The learned counsel proceeded to describe the plaintiff, as he now appeared, accord ing to his own evidence, and to show that the evi dence to-day fully bore out the description given of the plaintiff in the libel of which he complained. He became insolvent in October, 1852, and he no sooner got out of Lancaster Castle than he adver tised himself in the Mining Journal as " Stephen Neal, Esq.,, of No. 23, Charlotte-street, Bedford square." He became insolvent, and had no assets but his ‘! boot and overcoats," and other excepted articles, worth only a few pounds, and with that capital he came to the metropolis, and allowed him self to be advertised as " Stephen Neal, Esq.," living in a fashionable quarter of the town, the fact being that he had nothing in the world and was living in lodgings on a second floor. He then passed himself off to the public as a "civil engi neer," with an office in Parliament-street, and then as a " chcmico-civil engineer," though it was mani fest that he was never anything more than the getter up of bubble companies. The nature of the plaintiff's principle might be seen from the letter which he admitted he had written, in which he ridiculed and sneered at Mr. Beavan as a lover of truth. The letter was dated March 13, 1856, and contained these words : "Mr. Beitvan is probably with us; but he is a very stern man, and quite immovable from the strict letter of truth ; he seems not to understand what expediency means. Ho says the only way for us is, to compel compliance with our engagements and legal and equitable demands in a bold and fearless manner. To Mr. Hall his advice and assistance will be of the utmost value. Oh, how beautiful is truth; it 'scapcs a thousand snares and entanglements, and leaves no leeway to be fetched up." The learned counsel then read an extract from the letter which the plaintiff had written, addressed to Colonel Waugh, in which he took credit to himself for having, by his report on Branksca Isle, enabled Col. Waugh to get several thousand pounds from Mr. Jolly, and contended that that fact was proved by his own written evidence in opposition to the evidence which he had given to-day on his oath. The learned counsel then proceeded at great length to comment upon the various-charges contained in the libels, and said he should show by evidence that every one of the charges which they contained was true ; and he concluded by calling on the jury to find their verdict for the defendant. The learned counsel then called the following witnesses: — Mr. Braham, examined by Mr. Denman said—l was attorney for the defendant in the case of "Neal v. Isaac." I was present at the trial. Mr. Chambers was stopped in his cross-examination of the plain tiff. The plaintiff admitted that he received £25 from Col. Waugh'&agent before going to Spain. In the plaintiff's schedule there is a claim for £25 as wages. • Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—The schedule was not read at the trial. I gave up the papers shortly after to Mr. Isaac. Mr. Acland, a mining agent, was at the trial. I know nothing of the writer of this article. Mr. Freeman, examined by Mr. Denman, said — I am engineer to the Board of Works for St. Leo nard's, Shoreditch. At a meeting of the Delarue Company on the 30th July, the plaintiff wanted me to enter the acts of himself and Mr. Montgomery as those of the board, and I said " No." The letter of the plaintiff to Hardy of the 13th March, 1856, was here put in evidence. Mr. Walter, examined by Mr. Denman, said—l am a licensed victualler in Shoe-lane. In 1855 Mr. Hurst introduced the plaintiff to me. They wanted money—Ll2, on a bill drawn by Neal on Hurst. I gave them the amount. The bill was paid. Mr. Hurst had £3B, which he has not paid. Mr. Neal, the plaintiff, was here recalled, and asked whether a letter of the 6th April, 1858, and addressed by him to Col. Waugh, was in h is hand writing ? He said it was, and that it was pro duced at the last trial by Isaac. Mr. Mingay, examined by Mr. Denman, said—l remember having a conver sa tion with the plaintiff in November, 1858, respecti n g Branksea Island. I asked him for information respecting Branksea Island, and he said, "As to the purchase of the estate, it is not worth more than L 10,000." He went on to say that the island was not a fit place to live upon, at least for six months in the year, in conse quence of the damp. He also told me the castle was dismantled, and the mines were not worth anything to work upon, and that the clay was not fit for any thing but to make pipes for sanitary purposes. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Ballantine--He did not show me a report that £BO,OOO had been offered for the estate. I gave information of this a month ago, to Mr. Stevenson, who was in Mr. Neal's office. I don't know how it came to the knowledge of the Sunday Times. Mr. Grant said—l was secretary to the Glouces tershire Coal Mining Company. I wrote the letter referred to in the third libel. The bill of sale on the plaintiff's goods was here produced by the plaintiff. Mr. H. Stevenson said—l was one of the regis tered shareholders of some Welsh mines. I was promised to be secretary. I do not know that I had a conversation with the plaintiff on the subject. Mr. Manning said—l took shares in the CarreF hove, Mining Company. I did not know the plaintiff till two or three years after. I never made anything of my shares. It came to an end in 1856. Mr. Hawkins then summed up his evidence, and Mr. Sergeant Ballantine replied upon the whole case, and in so doing said he never in his wh ole life saw such a miserabl faihire of evidence as had been exhibited on this occasion. He called upon the jury to mark their sense of the defendant's conduct by giving the plaintiff substant ial dama g es. Lord Campbell, in summing u p the e evidence, ce said that on former occasions he had laid it down that comments ought not to be made upon a trial while it was pending ; but when itivasover it was a fair subject of comment. But, though a fair comment on a trial was permitted, it was not allowed to make charges on the parties which were not brought forward at the trial, and about which the writer could know nothing, unless he was either a party to the suit or the facts were supplied to him by other parties. In the present ease the most serious charges were made on the character of the plaintiff, and if they were proved 'to be true the given. The Judge said where magistrates had heard the complaint the Court did not interfere. The certi ficate concluded that the magistrate had heard and determined. It was at the peril of the magistrate not to do his duty. This Court had no right to interfere with it. Witness continued—The magistrate examined the witness as far as he thought fit, and would not allow the witness to interfere. The certificate was not mentioned until after the parties had left the court, but it was granted immediately after the parties had left. The magistrate's certificate being put in, The learned Judge said he should not admit further evidence for the plaintiff, but held the cer tificate to be a bar to the action, and directed a verdict for the defendant. jiiillW COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings at Nisi Prius in London.—Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) HUGHES V. MACNAMARA AND ANOTHER.-OMNIBUS ItIVALIY The declaration in this case charges that the plaintiff, being an omnibus proprietor, carrying on his business upon the road from Islington to Brompton, the defendants entered into a conspiracy to annoy him in his business, and to ruin him; and that they put omnibuses just before and behind so as to deter people from entering them, and to prevent the plaintiff from having a fair use of the highway ; that they drove and placed their omni buses before, upon, and against the plaintiff's omnibuses and servants in such a manner as to harass, damage, and injure his servants and omni buses, and to prevent the doors being opened ; that the plaintiff was so obstructed in his business that he was obliged to abandon it. There was a second count similar to this, except that no conspiracy was charged. The defendants p'eaded not guilty. Mr. Knowles, Mr. Edwards, and Mr. J. Br( -n appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant l3ah lantine, Mr. Hannen, and Mr. Poland for the defendants. Mr. Knowles, in opening the case, said that the plaintiff sought to recover damages for an injury of a somewhat peculiar description; he charged the defendants with combining between themselves and with other people to injure him in the exercise of his lawful trade by resorting to means which he trusted the law would say were. unlawful. It was unimportant Case, for though it seemed immediately to affect the plaintiff only, yet when the case was proved the jury would see that the conduct of the defendants went to the root of everything like fair competition in the line of life in whilst,. the plain tiff was enfraged ; and if the defendants and those who acted with them were to be encouraged and supported in the line of conduct that they had pur sued, he kacw not how any man could be fairly - said to be sure of his existence as a tradesman. The plaintiff had his stable in White Lion-street Isling ton, and his omnibuses started from the White Lion some distance beyond the Peacock, from whence the company's omnibuses started . As soon as one of •the plaintiff's omnibuses app eared, somebody who was on the watch at the corner of White Lion- street, gave a signal to the company's timekeeper, who communicated with the omnibuses of the com pany, that stood on the other side of High-street, Islington. The course that followed was that one of the company's omnibuses got to the White Lion before the plaintiff's omnibus, which was, conse quently, obliged to take the second turn. A third omnibus belonging to the company then came up, so that the plaintiff had an enemy behind and before. The police regulation Wag that a single omnibus was allowed to star fl_T l e . minutes, but three were not allowed to stay a t all. The police would order the first two on,:_o the plaintiff was deprived of the privil,e,f omnibusese i that ta y _ ing any time at all.

He trusted that the verdict of the jury wo'ild put an end to what he contended was a great monopoly, and contrary to law. The plaintiff's counsel then proceeded to - call evidence in support of his case, and it was stated that the trial was likely to last several days. A consultation between the parties, however, took ;place in the course of the day, and it was arranged that a verdict should be entered for the plaintiff for £4OO.

Last night, in the House of Lords, Lord Stanley of Alderley very properly drew attention to some irregularities attending the presentation of the Report of the Commission on Manning the Navy. Where was the evidence ? Why had not the com mission itself been printed, so that it might be seen whether the report was that of all the mem bers ? Where was the separate report of Mr. Lindsay, and why was it not laid before Parliament ? The replies of,the Earl of Hardwick° to these questions were very inconclusive and unsatisfactory, and it is evident that there is a secret history of this report which needs to be unveiled. Taking up theconsideration of the report at the point where we interrupted our observations yester day, we beg now to call attention to the proposed plan for obtaining an adequate and constant supply of trained seamen. It commences with a recommendation to enlist adults at once from the short voyage traders, and, for the future maintenance of the force, to rely on boys, specially . trained, in conformity with the practice long since adopted with so much advantage to the service. The new body, it is suggested, might be called the "Royal Naval Volunteers," and, as inducements to join, it is recommended that they should be paid at short periods—receive remuneration while being trained, and pensions on attaining the ages of 50 and 55—be admitted from time to time into the Coast guard, and finally participate in the advantages of Greenwich Hospital. The obligations on the part of the corps would be to practise gunnery and to serve at sea in case of emergency. Conditions would also be imposed securing their coming for ward to serve on board ship at any time on short notice. With respect to the future supply, the proposi• tion is that at each of the large ports a training ship should be established, with accommodation for from 100 to 200 boys, half of - whom should be maintained by the Government, and that these vessels should be under the superintendence of the Board of Trade, the main intention being to train boys for the merchant service. However, after the period of instruction has passed, the boys are to be inspected, a limited number only having the option of going into the navy. It is presumed that these training ships would furnish annually 1,200 able bodied lads, and that the different seaports would yield • as many more. to the maritime occupations of the country, all of whom shipowners would be willing to take ; contributing at the same time a small annual sum in aid of the Pension Fund. It seems that an annual contribution of la from the age of 14 would secure to the sailor a pension of £l2 a year by the time he attained 50 ; of £l5 from 52 to 53; and of £lB at 55. It is therefore recom• mended that £5 be paid quarterly to the seamen themselves, so as to secure their appearance at short intervals, and that the State, moreover, should con tribute £1 per annum to the Pension Fund for every man. The total annual cost of these school ships, including training in gunnery, wcPild probably be £200,000 per annum. Recapitulating, then, briefly, the whole of the recommendations in the report, the country would by their adoption acquire a reserve of 60,000 men in addition to the 5,000 marines, suggested as a judicious increase to that force, and in addition also to 5,000 volunteers, who would probably be absent on leave in the merchant service. For the alleged increased security thus obtained the country would have to provide an annual sum altogether of £598,821, or in round numbers of £lO per man, for these additional levies. Admitting that anything like absolute immunity could be thus guaranteed, the charge cannot be deemed excessive, when we regard the enormous amount of insurance, the premium on which is thereby repre sented. The question is, would the adoption of all the recommendations embodied in the report meet every probable exigency? We think not; and, as we have already observed, we consider that the scheme is not only likely to prove abortice, but far from being sufficiently comprehensive in its provi sions. No doubt the problem to be solved is a diffi cult one ; but apart from all ulterior considerations it really amounts to this—How are we to have always an ample amount of reserves in time of peace, capable of being instantly available on the occur rence of a sudden emergency, without unnecessarily crippling in the meanwhile the industrial resources of the community ? We have now seen the result of the aggregate wisdom, after long inquiry and mature deliberation, of a body, composed of peers of the realm, members of the legislature, admirals, and shipowners. At the same time it must be borne in mind, as already stated, one Commissioner, Mr. W. S. Lindsay, whose opinion as a plain prac tical man and as an extensive shipowner -would have been most valuable, declines to append his signature to the report. He must obviously have stated his reasons for adopting such a course, yet no clue whatever is afforded as to his grounds of dissent. . _ Again, the report is entirely silent upon a very material topic, one which in the opinion of all ex perienced nautical men is at least as important as any that have been touched upon—namely, the means of insuring an adequate supply of officers in case of war. The public at large no doubt suppose —considering the long roll of officers of all denomi nations comprised in the Navy List—that there is enough, and more than enough, to meet any crisis. But this is a complete fallacy. Let us select, for instance, the lieutenants whose names stand on the roll for Jan. 1, 1859. The total number is 1,038, of whom 67 per cent. are n s o s v important, actually leaving engaged on various services more or le 350 to meet all contingen cies. But of these how many would prove effe ctive? Some ten or a dozen of them are, it is true , afloat, l but mostly on board ships in ordinary. The lieu tenant who heads this list has held his commission for nearly half a century, and must therefore be past 70, while the most juvenile must be some where between 40 and 50, consequently almost past the time when the greatest amount of physical ability can reasonably be expected of him. Of the last 500 on the list, there are 365 afloat, so that -only 17 per cent. of those in the prime of life are left by way of reserve. There were, on the Ist January, about 250 ves sels of all classes in commission, including 32 ships of the line. Now, supposing a sudden and serious emergency to occur, whence are we to obtain a requisite number of efficient officers, under the grade of commander ? We have surely seen enough of late, without specifying instances, of the ill effects of entrusting important posts to superan nuated veterans ; is it wise to run the risk of a recurrence of similar mishaps ? Still, no sugges• on has as yet been offered to meet the very paten. defect above indicated. It is possible that impor tant advantages might be secured to the country by some approach to an amalgamation between the Queen's and the merchant service. In professional education, in social position, no less than in general attainments, the majority , of officers in the mercan tile marine are scarcely, if in any respect, inferior to their brethren in the Navy. If an opening were afforded whereby, those who had distinguished themselves professionally on board merchant ships could, upon passing a suitable examination, become eligible for commissions in the Royal Navy, not only would a higher tone be speedily infused into a fine body of gallant and enterprising young men, already trained to a sea life and to a certain extent disciplined, but the Government would be relieved of what must necessarily prove a formidable em barrassment on the first breaking out of hostilities. Whether this suggestion be adopted or not, it might be a wise course to throw open the advantages of Greenwich Hospital to well-conductedseamen who have served meritoriously for specified periods on board merchant ships. The income of that noble institution is now £140,000 a year, a sum which, if more judiciously expended, would provide a com fortable as for a far greater number than are benefited by the relief it provides, at the same time that, as a home in old age, its hospitable shelter would be eagerly sought, instead of being, as under the present regnne, shunned. With respect to minor matters, there are many, well known to all naval men, to: which we have scarcely space to advert just now, but they include a better organised system of payment, the abolition of the present obnoxious practice of flogging, as also the establishment under suitable regulations of libraries on board ship for instruction and amusement. We are upon the eve of great changes in the navy, changes that have been long imperatively called for, and the sooner the reformation of all admitted abuses is set about in earnest, the better it will be for the service. Far more is needed than is embodied in the report just printed. Indeed, as that document stands, we have little hesitation in expressing a conviction that it will never be acted non. SYMPTOMS OF THE END OF THE SEPOY REPEL. LloN.—The berths on board the homeward Indiail packets for several weeks to come are all taken. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Feb. 24 COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before Lord Campbell anda Special Jury.) NEAL V. SEALE. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Barnard ap peared for the plaintiff; Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and the Hon. G. Denman for the defendant. The plaintiff in this action, Stephen Neal, de scribed himself as a mining engineer and secretary to three mining companies, and he sued the defen dant, Edwin Wilmot Seale, the proprietor of the Sunday Times, to recover damages for three libels published in that newspaper, imputing to the plain tiff that he was a getter up of bubble companies, &c. The defendant pleaded the general issue, and also a plea of justification, alleging that the matters complained of were true in substance and fact. ntine, in opening the case to the jury, said the plaintiff had acquired some taste for mining affairs at Matlock, in Derbyshire, where he was born, but, having left his native place when 18 years of age, he went to Manchester, where he became inspector of nuisances, and afterwards, for a number of years, held the appointment of chief constable of Salford. In the course of last year he brought an action against a Mr. Isaac, of the firm of Isaac and Campbell, in Regent-street, and the jury found a verdict in his favour. The cause itself was of little interest, but it so happened that the trial excited a great amount of interest, from the circumstance that the plaintiff had been mixed up with the doings of the notorious Col. Waugh. The trial was reported at length in the daily papers, and was commented upon with great force in the Times, Daily News, and Morning Herald. But the Suizday Times, without publishing any report of the trial, on the Sunday following, viz., on the 19th of Dec., 1858—published an article in which they made their first attack on the plaintiff. The article was headed "Raising the Wind," and the learned sergeant proceed to read the greater portion of it, passage by passage, saying as he .pro • ceeded that he should prove that the libellous porfions of it were entirely without foundation. As the article was afterwards read at length we insert it here entire. It was as follows : " RAISING TILE WIND. " It is incredible how infinite is the variety of expedients whereby personal ingenuity draws upon public credulity for the means of subsistence—in this Babel of active and ener getic-life—from the modest inquiry of Jeremy Diddler, Hive you such a thing as 10d. about you ?'—to the mag nificent delusions of a Sadleir or a Waugh. • " The recent trial of ' Neal v. Isaac,' which at this mo ment occupies so large a portion of public attention, and which has elicited the editorial indignation of the Times, Daily Hews, and Morning Herald, against the fugitive colonel of Eastern Bank notoriety, may be turned to more practical use as a caution against the bubble mongers and bubble schemers who infest society. These harpies exist, and sometimes thrive, upon the weaknesses of their fellow-creatures. Their business is to delude the unwary, that they may realise a golden crop from the seed of im pudence which they have sown broadcast upon the soil of ignorance and greed. " Theigentlemen of the scheming genus are of divers grades, from the crow to the kite ; and it is amusing to note the thousand expedients by which they feed themselves upon the tiny worm as its pokes its inquiring nose above the ground, in the purlieus of Bartholomew - •lane, or upon the elephantine capitalist, who, obtruding his proboscis within the sanctum of Capel-court, falls a victim to the - violent designs of more voracious cormorants, and becomes mere carrion for the fattening of the ignoble vultures. " Recurring to the trial in the Queen's Bench on Monday last, we - would observe that the verdict was found upon evi dence which was short of the whole truth ; and it is an ano maly in our courts of judicature, that when the jury is sworn to give a verdict upon the evidence, the judge should presume to interpose his imperious authority in prevention of the whole truth (pertinent to the inquiry, and essential to the attainment of a just verdict) being told by the wit ness and heard by the jury. " In his summing up, Lord Campbell left the question as one of credibility, and seemed to have forgotten that when the learned counsel for the defendant endeavoured to elicit evidence touching the devices by which the plaintiff sought a livelihood, he had dictatorially intervened in protection of Mr. Neal from the possible consequences of such iuves tigation. Without impugning the conscientiousness of the jurors—for they only formed their conclusion upon the evi dence which was permitted to reach them—we think it extremely possible that, had they been better informed as to the position and pursuits of Mr. Stephen Neal, they would have returned a verdict more in accordance with the merits of the case, and much more conducive to the interests of the community." - - - - Mr. Hawkins said he did not intend to justify that passage. (Lau . p;hter.) Lord Campbell said, he should not complain. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said, it was impossible for the defendant to justify that paragraph, for the fact was that Mr. Isaac's counsel (Mr. Chambers) never was stopped in his life, and, moreover no ex ception was taken to his lordship's ruling, and no application was made for a new trial. Lord Campbell then addressed Mr. Hawkins and asked him whether he meant to justify the whole of the article. It could not be said that it was a fair comment on the trial. -- Mr. Hawkins said he meant to rely on the plea of justification. Lord Campbell said the learned counsel would have a formidable task, as he would have to go through the whole of the plaintiff's life. The plaintiff, Stephen Neal, was then called and examined by Mr. Barnard. He said—l am the plaintiff in !this action. I reside at Islington. I am a mining engineer, and secretary to three mining companies. lam also London agent for a Man chester house, Messrs. Kershaw and Co. I have been connected with mines and miningtransactions since I was a boy. I was born at Matlock. I left at 18, and was in employ at Manchester for many years. I was at first warehouseman, and then superintendent of nuisances for 12 or 14 years. In 1848 I became chief constable of Salford, and re signed that office in 1852, and shortly afterwards left Salford for London. I was the plaintiff in the action of " Neal v.lsaac," tried in this court on the 13th of Dec. before Lord Campbell and a special jury, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff for £347 ss. _ _ Cross-examined by Mr. Hawkins—At 18 I had got my living at mining. I have been connected with, 'I should say, 10 mining concerns. I wGuld not swear I have not been connected with 25 or 30. There was one called the Haslam Pipe and Shining Rock Company. That was my father's property. I was a proprietor, and worked at the mine. lam 48 years of age now. In the action against Mr. Isaac I claimed £2,035, and my verdict was £34 1 1 ss. I claimed £l,OOO for going over to Spain to get an affidavit made by Col. Waugh. I swear Mr. Isaac promised to give me that sum. Mr. Isaac, on his oath, denied that he had made that promise, and the jury, after hearing us both, gave a verdict for £347 ss. I was insolvent in 1852. My debts were rather over £5OO, My assets were, excepted articles, " over coats, boots, &c.," valued at £9 4s. I had some mining shares of no value. My creditors have all been paid. I married the widow of a chemist and druggist, and carried on the business for 12 years. In June, 1853, I had become connected with the Delarue Silver Lead Mining and Smelting Company that was to carry out some mines in Sweden. My name was advertised in the Mining Journal as Stephen Neal, Esq., 13, Charlotte-street, Bedford-square. That company is now in existence under another title, paying handsomely, I am told. It only existed five months and was sold. I did not endeavour to sell shares of the company. The directors never arrived at the stage of paying any thing on their shares. The committee paid the expenses. The shareholders did not threaten to sue, to my knowledge. Mr. Freebody was the secretary. I never to my knowledge asked Mr. Freebody to record his acts and my acts as the acts of the board. In 1856 there was a company pro moted, calledthe Gloucestershire Colliery Company. No annual return was made to the Registrar of Joint-stock Companies. I was shareholder and honorary secretary for probably six months. It was registered in 1855 as the London Coal Con sumers Company. I attended most of the meet ings, and paid £250. The name was changed ; no returns were made under the Act. In March, 1856, I was in communication with Mr. Beaven, a solicitor of Bristol, in reference to this company. This letter is in my hand writing. (Read.) The letter referred to other pro perty, intended to be put into another 1853 companyhe That company was never forme d. In ter was a company promoted called tleearreg ova Copper Mining Company. I never dealt i in shares h in that corn pany. I may h a ve asked a person named Crow to dispose of sha res. Its name . has been changed to the Denbigh Mining Company. There was another company called the Cardiganshire Silver Lead and Copper Mining Company. I was printed in the prospectus as the secretary of that company. It was never registered under the new name. It was not carried out. My duties as secre tary were not light. I was paid secretary. I was not connected with the Clew Bay Copper Mining Company. At the close of 1856 I b ecame acquainted with Col. Waugh. I formed one of a deputation to him from a railway company. I met him at the London and Eastern Bank. On Feb. 2, 1857, I prepared a report on the Branksea property. My place of business was at 16, Parliament-street. I did not pay for the room. I. was there as a civil engineer. It was at Messrs. Toogood's. (The re sport on the Branksea Alum Works was here put l in and read.) The witness said "his report had been _examined into by many scientific men and e, 12, astle, , the .M.'s bast gved thip- Yd, 112,
