THE FRENCH MEDITERRANEAN SQUADRON. The Constitutionnel states, that the report addressed by the Prince de Joinville to the Minister of Marine, on the operations of the Mediterranean Squadron placed under his command, was divided into two parts. In the one the Prince examines the capabilities of the steam ships, and, in the other, those of sailing vessels. " The steam-ships employed in our squadron," says the Con statuntnel, " were not constructed on the mixed system, in which sails are combined with the steam force. We had not even in that squadron a single -vessel propelled by the screw. The English have anticipated us on those two points, and the experiments they have made in that respect have presented the most interesting results. Our steamers could only be regarded as tug-boats and avisos, and as such they were of great service to the squadron. Their mission as tug-boats consisted in placing the ships against the wind in the line of battle assigned to each by the Admiral. They accomplished that object to the great satisfaction of our officers. The steamers Descartes, Aseeedea, Magellan, Cuvier, and Pluton were most efficient in that respect, and brought up the ships to their line of battle at the rate of three and even four knots an hour. As avisos, the steamers executed their service with all the rap;dity desirable. They might act, if necessary, as the scouts and advanced guard of a naval army. Lieutenant Nourrit de la Ronciere, in a recent publication, compares steamers to the cavalry of an army. That comparison, repeated in the very remarkable pamphlet of Baron Dunin on the law granting an extra ordinary credit of 93,000,000 f. to the navy was ,justified by the attitude of our steamers. In a word, the squadron composed of ships of the line and steamers navigated and manoeuvred much better than if it had been formed of sailing vessels only. "As respects the sailing ships, it appears that the Admiral had not generally to complain of the manner in which they manceuvred, with the exception, how ever of the two 100-gun ships, Hercule and Jemmapes. " In the first place, in respect to the force, it would he incorrect to look on them as being equal to one hundred guns, for in this number there are many guns which are net available for oblique pointing; if a commander of a ship is engaged with another ship against which he wishes to fire a whole broadside, it is necessary that the fore and aft guns should be obliquely placed, so as to make them converge to the same point of aim. It follows that instead of being upon a ship having 60 guns, attributed to the second rank, one has a ship which is properly placed in the class to which she belongs in re spect to her size, but which is, in fact, by the calibre of her guns, below a ship of the fourth class—that is, of the lowest class. This is a very great inconvenience, and this is what frequently increases it. When the weather, without, however, being very bad, is such that the sea is not smooth, the lowest tierof guns must be closed, because the ports are too near the floatinc , line. I► is true this inconve - nience in like manner applies to all vessels, but it is com • paratively experienced in the highest degree in 100 gun ships. Thus these ships of this kind lose the use of the guns which are not available for oblique firing, and on the other hand one-half her guns paralysed at the least breeze. It seems that as to sailing capabilities nothing worse could have been conceived than the build of 100- gnn ships. The sea capabilities of a ship are usually estimated according to her speed and her tacking about. Now, it is well known that in fine weather and with a speed of six miles an- hour the Hercule and the Jem mapes seldom succeeded in tacking about, whilst this was done without difficulty by other vessels in company. This is a matter of the highest importance, for suppose a ship being near the coast or a shoal of rocks at sea, is obliged to veer, that is, wind a-head instead of aft, she is lost if she cannot do this quickly. 100-gun ships are extremely slow in luffing up to the wind, because the ac tion of the helm is not sufficiently felt. Up to this time a three-decker has been looked upon as being the heaviest and the most difficult to manage. The naval science of our time has invented a ship which is not only less manageable, but whose sailing power is wholly in ferior ; for sailing in a squadron the Hercule and the Jemmapes have always been the last. Surely here are more reasons than necessary for laying up in ordinary 100-gun ships ;it is, therefore, not to be wondered at that the Jemmapes and the Hercule on their arrival at Toulon were half unmanned, which is equivalent to a disarming. The plan on which these ships were built, as far back as 1824, was, therefore, an unlucky innovation. If however, the evil could be repaired by taking two ships from our fleet, already so limited ! But there are on the stocks 11 ships building on the same model, and which are too far advanced to be modified. We have in this state, at Toulon, the Eylau and the Navarin ; at Rochefort, the Turene and the Ulm ; at Lorient, the Wagram and the Fleurus ; at Brest, the Tage ; at Cherbourg, the Hannibal, Austerlitz, Duquay-Trouin, and Henri IV. The Minister who has already too much in these 11 ships, out certainly not to have laid it down as a principle in his ordinance on the effec tive force of the fleet, that there should always be ten 100-gun ships afloat. Other observations have been made in respect to 74-gun ships, which are, by the by, some of the beat models that have come out of the yards. Therefore it has been proposed to razer the poop and forecastle of these ships in order to place pieces of the heaviest metal on swivels, such as those on the largest steamers. It is thought that this alteration, which is easy of execution, will greatly increase the strength of these ships, and will also add to their sail ing capabilities. Such are the chief observations to which the last cruise of our 'evolutionary squadron has given rise. It now is well known to what use steam ships in a squadron mew be put, as also the relative value of line-of-battle ships. The time is assuredly come when we ought to make the experiment of mixed vessels, built for sailing as well as steam." DREADFUL OUTRAGE ON THE CONTlNENT.—Par ticulars have been sent to the Hue and Cry of a most daring robbery that has been committed at Cracow. It seems that when everything was quiet, three notorious offenders got into the grounds by force, broke through a treaty that stood in their way, demolished everything of value they found in the houses of legislature, turned the whole concern topsy-turvy, and have not left a ves tige of the old place standing. One of the offenders. who is well known to the police by the name of Austria, is still in possession. His two confederates have been content with their share of the booty, and have re turned to their old haunts. Their designations are Russia and Prussia. No means have been taken as yet for the restoration of the stolen property. It is sup posed that the authorities are holding back in the hopes of a reward being offered.—Punch. THE BRAZILIAN SUGAR TRADE.—A cargo or two of new Brazilian sugar, imported under the new law of last session, may be expected in Liverpool very shortly. This will be the beginning of a new trade, which will probably continue to extend until the country has be come it depot for the principal part of the sugars of Brazil and Cuba.—Liverpool Courier. DEATH FROM SYRUP or POPPIES.—On Wednesday Mr. C. J. Carttar, the Coroner for West Kent, held an inquest at the United Service Tavern, Woolwich, on the bodies of two infants, named Charles Simcox, aged five months, and Goldfinch, who, it was alleged, had died from the effects of an overdose of syrup of poppies. The inquiry had been adjourned several times, but the fol lowing is a brief statement of the facts of the case : Some weeks since the infant child of a woman named Goldfinch was rather indisposed, and, on the advice of a neighbour, named Anne Simcox, she gave the child a dose of syrup of poppies from a bottle which MN. Simcox had in her possession. The child was taken ill immediately, and upon a medical gentleman, a Mr. Timpson, being sent for, it was found to be labouring strongly under the effects of a narcotic poison, and, notwithstanding every remedy, it died the next day. In the conversation that ensued on the arrival of Mr. Timpson, Mrs. Simcox reproached herself for re-!orn wending the mother to administer the poison, stating that it had cause d the death of her own child about eight months previous, but that she thought a little of it would not hurt the deceased. Mr. Timpson refused to give the certificate, and hence the present inquiry. Evidence confirmatory of the above having been given, the jury, after a long deliberation, returned a verdict in the case of Charles Simcox, "That the deceased died, but from what closes there was no evidence to show ;" and in the case of the child Goldfinch, " That the de ceased died from a dose of syrup of poppies, administered by the mother in ignorance." CITY OF LONDON ASSOCIATION FOR. THE RELIEF OF THE POOR.—Wednesday evening the annual meeting of the subscribers and friends of the above Association, established for the purpose of supplying the necessitous poor of the city of London with coals and potatoes, at a reduced price, during the winter months, was held at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill; the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided, supported by Aldermen Wilson. Kelly, and Gibbs ; Deputies Bedford, Brown, and Corney; Revds. J. Harding, Munro, Ste. The report, read by the Secretary, stated that the Association had been established more than half a century. Last year the City Kitchen opened on the sth of January, and closed 27th of March, a period of twelve weeks, during which was distributed 25,640 cwt. of coals, at the rate of 6d. for 1121bs. each ticket. Notwithstanding a grant from the City Corporation of 2001., the balance was On l y 71 6s. 2d. The balance-sheet stated that the donations amounted to 1,2221.; cost of coals, 1,4391.; produce of sale, 6411.45.; expenses, 131. 16s. 9d. The report, on the motion of Mr. Alderman Wilson, was unanimously adopted and ordered to be printed. On the motion of the Rev. Mr. Harding, it was resolved, that acting on last ye ir's experiment of the comforts to the poor in giving them a more ample supply of fuel, coals only should be distributed during the ensuing winter. Thanks having been voted to the Lord Mayor, the meeting broke up. HIGHWAY ROBBERIES.—On Saturday evening last two robberies were committed in the outskirts, and an attempt was made at a third. The first was between sit and seven o'clock, and was committed on Mr. Howell, of Broad -street. He was going along the road at the back of the Temple, when two men came behind him, and gave him a blow which brought him to the ground and stunned him. They then rifled his pockets, from which they took several keys, a gold watch, and a steel purse, containing, as he supposes, six or seven shillings, and then left him. Mr. Howell immediately proceeded to the T own h a ll , and gave information of the robbery, and Mr. Ch ase sent up an officer, who, on going to the spot, found the purse, a half crown, and a shilling, and the chain and seals belon g to the watch. About en hour after t his robbery occurred, a youth, named El ward Galata, was pro ceeding alon g Clif ton -hill , wh i ch is near when the sam e spot, he was attack e d b y two men, w h o knocked him dowtt and rifled his pockets, taking about 12s. They also took f quantity of paper bags of Gillam's manufactu re , whic h wh om t l in ic ra e h a lp sells to fruiterers and others. About half- of is i) r clock the same evening, a w.iStitreven's porters, was a man named Brown, one s b po as t it h e y t of g oin g to Mr. Bright Smith' when he was attacked near the stunt man who laid hold of his basket, and said, "Give one e Brown called out, and a gentleman who was onmli home in Montpellier-crescent, hearing him, ca l m s n wa t y , his assistance, on which 69 thief made off.—Brigheon Guardian. CONFE-SION OF A RAILWAY ROBBERY. The following is a statement made by Daniel Garratt, who was prosecuted on several charges, to Mr. Nash, and may be usefully made public.— These dishonest practices began with me about 13 months ago, when I was living in idleni. s close to the railway station, and used to go on to the platform to see the trains come in, and there it was I got into conversa tion with the people of the railway, and joined in con nexion. My first parcel was a carpet bag, which was taken on the arrival of a train, as if I was a passenger; but that mode of acting became dangerous, as, on several occasions the owners intercepted their property, and, but for the timely assistance of a confederate, I should not have escaped so easily. Other methods were hit upon, which, if made known, may prevent such practices in future. Mr. Hartley's box of scrip, valued at 40,0001., and supposed to have never reached the line, was not taken away from the train till we reached Wolverton; and if passengers will go away from their luggage, without having it labelled, or seeing that it goes with the train, or leavh, it at a refreshment room, they must expect to lose it. I was not a thief by profession; I had been a valet and confident of several noblemen, travelling with them, and never wronging them of a shilling. This scrip sorely puzzled us. My first impulse was to go to the continent, where my extensive knowledge would disguise me. That was oppose d, and we determined to wait. A reward was offered: but difficulties presented themselves, and in the dilemma, Maynard's services of fered, and he introduced a friend of his, a chemist from the neighbourhood of Brunswick-square, and they con cocted the correspondence and fictitious names with Bush and Mullens; but they were very anxious to get posses sion of the scrip, anfi I believe that Mr. Hartley is in debted to me for its restoration. The earnest' of our power to restore was shown Mr. Hartly by returning him his keys, which were the 'first instalment.' Mr. Bush paid the 150/. in gold—no notes—and was grateful to Maynard, and shook hands with him. He came to his house in his carriage. This gave us boldness, and when the box of papers (Mr. Prance's) turned up, we had less hesitation. " Maynard negotiated, but unguardedly, and I told him so; but he was headstrong, priding himself on his position' and appearances. He arranged, and went to his lawyer friend to draw out the necessary papers for the restoration. He and I then went to the City together in a cab. He left at the Blossoms Inn, and went on to Guildhall to settle the affair. I waited some hours, and then went home to my lodgings, from which we bad started. I felt quite safe, as I was only known to six people in connexion with Maynard, and they were in the mess, and there was nothing against me to show that I had not found it, as was said. In the evening I was fetched out by Maynard's man, and went to his lawyer friend about it and Maynard's arrest, but we all agreed that nothing could be done to him for negotiating a reward. I went to him next morning, with his ' man Friday,' to assure him of support, and again went to him and provided a criminal lawyer, but finding myself watched I did not go again, but took means to prevent any evidence against myself, and felt secure in my in cognita and change of dress every day. When the dis covery of other matters, and especially Bush's, was made, and I was wanted' (as I thought), but not known, I resolved to leave England. and began quietly to realise; but then came the squabbles between the agents of the companies, and their disapproval of what had been done and stoppage of any other investigations. That gave me confidence, and I determined to remain, forsook my lodgings and old pals, and traded myself on several lines, even under the very eyes of the police who wanted me, yet did not know me except as a gentleman's ser vant, and above suspicion. * " Respecting the man Farr, he also goes in the name of (as Lee said) Billy-go-Faster. Lee told me that Farr was in the Cambridge affair, and the Blackheath, as well as Mr. Woodhead's box from your railway and ethers. Lee is not in the same ship as me. Parr lives at Pim lico, but is not known. " DANIEL GARRETT." Lee was transported in 1845 for robberies. Farr was not apprehended until May, 1845, when several robberies were brought to light; amongst others, three on the Bir mingham Railway, two on the South-Eastern Railway, one on the Brighton Railway; also, the robbery of the Post-office letter-bags, &c. He was convicted on five indictments, and sentenced to twenty years transpor tation. _ _ _ William Farr, who was convicted of several railway robberies, and sentenced to twenty years' transportation on several indictments preferred on behalf of several railway companies) made the following statements to Mr. Nash, who acted in his prosecution :—" I was i❑ respectable employ as valet to a gentleman. Drink turned me. I left and took a beer-shop at Deptford. A fracas with Dalton, who was transported with Garratt last winter, sent me to gaol for some months. I came out changed and dissolute. It was at the stations all the mischief was done. lam not the only one:left. * * If a disconery was made at a station I put it to mistake, and as I was not known to the police I could work with boldness. When I heard of Maynard's arrest I crossed the water, I returned when I saw that Maynard and Garratt were not to be prosecuted, and began again. Mrs. is innocent of my acts, she knew nothing of them. Dr. Robert's papers were destroyed ; I did not have them, another party had. Too many cases were brought up against me, some I had only second-hand, but escape was hopeless. The whole of Mrs. —'s property has gone to defend me, about 801., and more wanted ; she is now ruined." POLITE HIGHWATMEN.—A. highway robbery, at tended with circumstances of extraordinary audacity, took place on Tuesday evening, on the road from Bourges to Chateauroux. The diligence of MM. Gher tier and Co., between those towns, and having at the time ten passengers, and a sum of 44,500 francs, in five franc pieces, 33,000 francs of which were for a banker at Chateauroux, 10,000 francs for the iron-works at Cla- vieres, and the rest belonging to a merchant at Bourges, had arrived, at about 10 o'clock, at the part of the road called Les VaHies, when the horses were stopped by a barricade of stones, raised up for the purpose. At the same instant several men made their appearance, took the horses by the head, and desired tie conductor to alight and deliver up his keys. The conductor, in his fright, not being able to alight at the moment, he was forcibly pulled down, and one of the ruffians stabbed him with a knife three times in the shoulder. They then forced open the chest in which some of the money was placed, and made the passengers alight, two of the robbers standing over them with levelled muskets. Having taken out the 10.000 f., they said they were sure there was more money, and they got up on the roof, where they found the larger sum. They then desired the passengers to resume their seats, and allowed the diligence to go on. Whilst they were robbing the diligence M. Lebrun, a notary, at Charost, and his wife, came up in their cabriolet. The ruffians ordered it to stop, and when they had finished the plunder of the diligence, were about to examine the cabriolet, but Madame Lebrun uttered such loud cries that they desisted, and even took the pains of leading his horse through the barricade. M. Lebrun, it is said, had a large sum of money with him. On arriving at St. Florent, the passengers of the diligence made their declaration to the authorities. They stated that the number of robbers was six, armed with pistols, knives, and fowling-pieces, and wearing masks or false noses to disguise their faces. They injnred no other person than the conductor, and his wounds are not dangerous. The gendarmerie instantly went in pursuit, but up to Thursday no trace had been obtained of the robbery.— Galiortani. MILITARY EXPERIMENTS AT CHATHAM.—On Tuesday, the lst instant, the Royal Sappers and Miners, under the command o! Colonel Sir Frederick Smith, K.H., repaired to the field-works near to the Casemate Barracks, at Gillingham, where they have been for a considerable time forming works, mining and counter mining, representing the actual siege of a citadel. The day was densely foggy and cold, and very few persons were present, the only officer unconnected with the military on the ground was Captain ' Sir Thomas Bouchier. K.C.8., Captain Superintendont of Chatham , Dockyard. The commencement of the experimental operations was that of the first parallel, where two four gun batteries are erected, and upon two different prin ciples, for the purpose of testing the difference of their rivements, one with fascines, and the other with gabions, filled with earth. The first firing commenced with a 12-pounder gun from the field battery, when the embrasures were formed with fascines, and after firing 20 rounds, the cheeks began to budge from the pickets that held them, and the continual firing at length caused the fascines to give way. The firing party then retired, and commenced firing from the other battery, when a 24-pounder gun was placed at one of the embrasures, its rivements being formed with gabions filled with earth. Here were also fired 20 rounds. The repeated firing shook the cheeks on each side, and from the repeated flashes of the gun caused some of them to ignite. The gabions are pronounced to be decidedly the best, and will stand longest in actual service. These experiments were for the purpose of showing the young officers the practice of firing guns through these r o rive ments. The fi r i ng b e i ng concluded, Colonel Si r F . S m i t h , with thet o f officers Prince and Frederick's pr o a e n e d ed t e h d e up Duke th of efi field works in Cumber land's bastions and a ravplin ' and commenced the opera tion of breachi ng a double stockade for the purpose of effecting a passage f or troops. The stockade was about 20 feet in width, and firmly built with oak timber and fir balks; each pin of timber was 12 feet out of the ground, and 4 feet in, firmly united with earth, and held together at top and bottom by ribands of oak plank, secured by 10-inch spikes Owi ng tO . the immense strength of this stockade, and to effect 'an entrance of the outside line of the erection, two charges of gunpowder of 601 b. each, in bags, were placed' on the ground, close to the building. On the top of them was a large sand-bag, and two others were firmly jammed against the charges. Everything being ready for firing, a fuse about 6 feet in length was fixed to the charges, which allowed three minutes to burn, giving time to the party to retire, when an explosion took place which shook the earth for a considerable dis tance, smashing the balks of timber into fragments. Some of the pieces of timber were thrown up into the air, and fell about 300 feet from the spot. Some of the splintered timber was forced into the interior line of the stockade. A breach was made 12 feet wide, and the in terior line was driven out of its perpendicular 2 feet 9 inches, and one of its ribands forced out. One of the officers commenced taking a sketch of the ruins. The result of the operation was very satisfactory to the Co lonel. Another stockade is to be immediately raised. THE STRIKE AT KEIGHLEY.--We understand that the woolcombers' strike at Keighley has terminated by an amicable at rangement between the masters and the men.—Leeds Intelligencer. The steamer Antwerpen, Captain Jackson, arrived here v er y ear l y yester d ay morn i ng, h av i ng made her Passag e f rom Antwerp in twenty hours with wind and tide against her. The Baron de Hoehepied Larpent and family were passengers by her. . THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY ETENING, DECEMBER 4, 1846 METROPOLITAN SEWAGE MA- body—a British corporate body—the Court was of opi nion that the presence of some foreigners in the corpo ration was not a sufficient ground to refuse the regis tration, and the mandamus must therefore be made peremptory. NURE COMPANY. appeared to be to bring the court of directors into con tempt, rather than seek for inquiry. Mr. Gordon confessed it was his object to bring the court into contempt, he being a friend to the people of India. The adjourned general meeting of the shareholders in the above company was held yesterday, at No. 7, Waterloo place, Pall-mall, in pursuance of the resolution passed at the meeting held on the 17th September last; J. C. Blair Warren, Esq., the chairman of the company, in the chair. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 3. LEES V. NICROLSON-SOUTRERN COUNTIES UNION RAILWAY. Mr. Alderman WILSON asked if he had ever been in India ?—Mr. Gordon said he had for twenty years ; he was a mariner and a merchant, but he had been expelled from India. Mr. Alderman WILSON said he did not know what course the directors might choose to take in respect to the placard, or the assaalt on their servant. Could he without inconvenience find two sureties in 501. for his appearance at the next sessions? The defendant doubted whether he could find such sureties. The SECRETARY read the supplemental report, also an epitome of the previous proceedings. The report stated that the directors had great pleasure in meeting the proprietors in their own offices for the first time, and that the applications for shares greatly exceeded the number to be allotted. Since the last general meeting applica tion bad been made to the Thames Navigation Com mittee for permission to lay their mains in the line given by the Act of Parliament, but their application was met with a polite but absolute refusal. The duty then devolved upon the directors of conveying the water by some other means from the King's Scholars' Pond into the metropolis. After anxious inquiry, the adoption of a tunnel-sewer, to commence at the Parliamentary sta tion, near Skew-bridge, and thence to pass by the public way to Stanley-bridge, standing over the Counter's Creek sewers, was resolved upon. This plan would be attended by important advantages. It would intercept the water of all the lesser sewers of the district, secure an abundant supply in the dryest weather, and make provision for the future extension of the company s works. Large steam-engines in the heart of the metropolis will be unnecessary, the cost of distribution will be considerably less, and mains will pass at once through a district abounding in market gardens. The public thoroughfares and traffic would not be interrupted, thus avoiding the great objections urged against the laying down of pipes. In order to carry the plan into effect, the sanction of three-fifths of the shareholders will be required in ac cordance with the standing orders of the House of Lords ; and a meeting will be duly convened for the purpose. The directors have taken the necessary steps to enable them to apply to Parliament for the requisite powers, and, amongst other things, to enlarge the capital by issuing an increased number of shares. Mr. KYME moved the adoption of the report, and in doing so congratulated the company on the improved prospect of their affairs, but regretted the refusal of the Thames Navigation Committee. But he thought that refusal would redound to their advantage. Mr. Dx.sn seconded the proposition. A PROPRIETOR urged upon the attention of the erectors the advantage of the tunnel-sewer over the main sewer line. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL, on the application of Mr. MARTIN, ordered the plaintiff to be non-suited, inas much as there was no evidence as to the responsibility of the defendant. The decision of the Exchequer in " Wyld v. Hopkins" was the ground upon which the ap plication of Mr. Martin was founded. Mr. Sergeant BYLES tendered st bill of exceptions to the ruling of the judges. The complainant said he - did wish, though his mouth was still bleeding, to press upon the gentleman. He would be content with his undertaking not to conduct himself in that way again. The defendant hesitated to make a promise so contrary to his sense of duty. Mr. Alderman Wu.soN said he was indebted to the forbearance of the complainant in not pursuing the charge of assault, and he should dispose of the case by taking the defendant's own recognisance in 1001. to keep the peace for twelve months to all her Majesty's subjects. Mr. Gordon said he was much obliged to him, for this restraint would relieve him from a most painful and onerous duty which he had felt himself bound to perform. The defendant was bound over, and discharged. WORSHIP-STREEE A person of respectable appearance, named William Richards, describing himself as a land surveyor, residing at Stoke Newington-common, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Bingham, charged with indecently exposing his person with a view to insult several members of the family of Mr. Simonds, a gentleman living in Great Chart-street, Hoxton. The details of the case cannot be further stated than that at half past eight o'clock that morning, as Mr. Simonds's niece (a young lady named Nunn) was look ing out at the dining-room window, the prisoner so im pudently stared her out of countenance that she was obliged to leave her position ; and, on returning, when she thought he had gone away, she found him standing on the opposite pavement, conducting himself in the most indecent and offensive manner. Ann Stratford, the prosecutor's servant, entered the room at that moment to dust the blinds, and was being cautioned by Miss Nunn as to the insult she was likely to receive if she did so, when the prisoner, after looking carefully round him to see that he was not observed, deliberately unfastened his dress, and in the most open and intentional manner perpetrated the offence complained of. Both the young women instantly left the window, and the prisoner quitted the street ; but the same afternoon, between one and two o'clock, returned t o th e sp o t, and,, stationing himself opposite to the area window, was supposed to be about to renew his misconduct, when the servant ap pealed to her master for protection, and Mr. Simonds went out after him. The prisoner instantly hastened away and was followed by the prosecutor, until he took refuge in a publie-house, when Sergeant Lambert was informed of his conduct, and took him into custody. Upon hearing the nature of the charge against him, he positively denied it, and, On being now called upon for his defence, he said, that being compelled to stop at the spot in question for an exigent purpose, he might have accidentally given ground for the allegation against him , but he could assure the Magistrate it was purely unintentional, as he had not seen either of the witnesses, and was the last man who would knowingly be guilty of such infamous conduct. One PROPRIETOR said be could not blindly go into the scheme without consideration. A conversation then ensued which resulted in its being said that the directors had been guided in their decision by the engineering report, and at the request of several proprietors these reports were read. They were merely a mass of details, the substance of which was contained in the directors' report. After some further conversation, the latter was unani mously adopted. The CHAIRMAN, in conclusion, congratulated the company on the stage at which they had arrived, and was glad to observe a disposition on the part of the public to support them. Mr. BUCHANAN thought the silt getting into the tunnel would sink the middle and raise the two ends, and thus produce great inconvenience. Mr. MILNE said it would be their duty to prevent the silt getting into the tunnel at all. They would want the silt for the purposes of their undertaking. A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. Both the young women, however, ga►e the most posi- tive contradiction to this statement, and declared that the act, which was more than once repeated, was unmis takeably wilful, and WATERLOO BRIDGE COMPANY. The half-yearly general meeting of the bridge proprie tors was held yesterday, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern. Mr. i3INGHAM, who considered that it was impossible, with such testimony to come to any other conclusion than that the prisoner had been guilty of the offence he was charged with, sentenced him to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for three months, and kept to hard labour, as a rogue and vagabond. The prisoner was removed to the cells, but still pro - tested his innocence, and that the whole was the result of a serious mistake. Mr. BEDENELL took the chair at one o'clock. The SECRETARY read the Committee's report on the state and condition of the undertaking. It stated that the tolls for the last half-year, ending the 23d August last, had been 7,643/. 2s. 10d., showing an increase over the income for the same period of the preceding year of 294/. 18s., and that from the 23d of August last to the 2d December instant, the tolls for horses and carriages were 4,8051. 9s. ld., the amount of the corresponding period last pear being only 3,2781. 9s. 6d., which the committee accounted for by the clos ing of Westminster-bridge, adding, however, that pre vious to that, and since the reduction of fares, there had been a steady increase. Formerly the horse and car riage tolls were not more than one-fifth of the foot tolls, but were now more than a half. The committee fur ther informed the proprietors of various notices which had been gives of intended applications to Parliament for the erection of various bridges across the river, and for the construction of various railways in the neighbour hood of their property. The accounts showed an income for the last half-year of 8,295/. 18s. 6d., and an expenditure of 1,117/. 18s. 6d. The report and accounts were unanimously approved and confirmed by the proprietors, and the retiring diree r tors and auditors were re-elected. Mr. BINGHAM requests us to acknowledge his receipt of a letter from a gentleman residing in Paradise place, Stoke Newington, whose signature, which could not be very clearly deciphered, was either " W. Trewheeler," or "W. W. Wheeler," enclosing 5L for the poor-box of this Court, the funds of which are now nearly exhausted, and which contribution the benevolent donor desired might be noticed in the papers. 7 NAMES. Mr. Moss and Mr. Shaward, tradesmen residing in Whitechapel, came before Mr. Ballantine for the pur pose of handing to him the sum of 11. 12s. 2d., the re sult •f a penny subscription opened at the Gloucester Arms, Commercial-road East, for Thomas Nott, who was falsely accused of a robbery, and convicted at the Clerkenwell sessions, on the evidence of a girl named Evans, who, it afterwards appeared, bad perjured her self. Nott underwent five weeks' imprisonment before he received a pardon, and has since received various small sums from benevolent persons who sympathised with his sufferings. Mr. BALLANTINE said the subscription did much credit to the feelings of the persons who had promoted it, and he had no objection to take charge of the money until Nott came to the Court to receive it. The meeting, after a vote of thanks to the chairman, then adjourned. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Dec. 3. A RAILWAY TATERN RILL.-BASANT T. GREY. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. M. CRADIBZRB held, on behalf of the de fendant, that he was not liable to pay the demand of the plaintiff, and he should show that the surveyors who used the house were sent there by Mr. Higgins, who had contracted with the company to defray all the expenses of the survey, and those incidental to it. The ordering of the champagne by the defendant, and its ommission from the bill, showed, at his request, that he did not wish it to be confounded with the bill of Mr. Higgins. When the surveyors first went to the house, the defendant was in Staffordshire, so that it could not be held that they were sent by him. The plaintiff himself had admitted that Mr. Higgins was liable; he attended a meeting of his creditors, and claimed the amount of his bill; so that it was quite an afterthought to turn round and demand the amount from the defendant, and first of all he claimed only 671. Bs. 9d., then the amount for which the action was brought. He then called the following witnesses in support of his csse The money was soon afterwards handed to the poor fellow, whose health was much impaired by his impri sonment. He is in great distress, and the donation was received with gratitude. The following correspondence has recently taken place on the subject of Nott's conviction:— "TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR GEORGE GREY, SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT. `• Sir,—l beg leave respectfully to lay before you a statement of my case, which is one of peculiar hardship. I was convicted on the 29th of September last, at the Clerkenwell Sessions, of felony, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. The only wit ness against me was Mary Ann Evans, a girl aged 14 years, the servant of the prosecutor, who subsequently endeavoured to fix a charge of robbery and assault on a poor woman named Mary Swift. A statement was afterwards forwarded to you by my prosecutor, Mr. Still, by the Commissioners of Police, and others, ex posing the perjury and wickedness of the girl Evans, and clearly showing that I had been unjustly convicted, and was innocent of the crime laid to my charge. After an imprisonment of five weeks I received her gracious Majesty's free pardon, and was liberated by virtue of an order, signed by you, and forwarded to the governor of the prison in which I was confined. My health has been greatly impaired by the imprisonment I underwent, and my wife and family were reduced to great distress in consequence of my incarceration and long absence from home. The wicked and unprincipled girl Evans, who endeavoured to ruin two innocent persons, and par tially succeeded in one instance, is still at large. I am unable to defray the expenses of a prosecution, and un less the case is taken up by the department over which you have the honour to preside, the girl will escape that punishment which she justly deserves. I therefore humbly pray, that you will be pleased to direct a prose cution at the public expense, and that you will also be pleased to take my case into your favourable considera tion, and order such compensation to be made for my false imprisonment and losses as in your judgment may be deemed fit.—l am, Sir, with great respect, " Your very humble and obedient servant, "THOMAS NOTT. "2, Gurney-place, Lucas-street, Commercial road East, November 30." Mr. Boyman, the secretary to the railway, examined by Mr. JAMES—He said Mr. Higgins was the engineer of the line, and received about 1,0001. from the com mittee for the purpose of paying the survey and sur veyors. The committee had nothing further to do with the expense of it. The plaintiff called on him on the 3d of December, ar.d stated that Mr. Higgins had informed him that he (Higgins) had enclosed his (the plaintiff's) bill to him for payment. The account was received with a letter from Mr. Higgins, requesting a cheque on account of the expense of the survey, The bill he sub sequently returned to the plaintiff, telling him that Mr. Higgins was the person to look to, as he had contracted to furnish the survey. The plaintiff, in reply to ques tions, stated that Mr. Higgins sent the surveyors to his house, and that the articles charged were supplied to his order and to his account. A few days after the defendants called with the plaintiff and told him (wit ness) that he was very apprehensive that Mr. Higgins would not be able to pay his bill, and hoped that the committee would pay it for him. The bill was given back to him in order that he might make out two sepa rate bills, that the board might know what he had sup plied to the account of Mr. Grey. The whole of the first bill was made out in the name of Higgins ; he made no claim in my presence upon Mr. Grey for the bill. To this communication Nott received the following reply : Cross-examined—No authority was given to Mr. Hig gins by the committee to incur tavern bills on their account. " Whitehall, Dec. 1. " Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir G. Grey to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 30th ult., complaining of having been convicted and imprisoned on the false evidence of a witness (from which imprison ment you were afterwards discharged by means of a par don), and petitioning Sir George Grey to direct a prose cution at the public expense, and to order compensation to you as haring suffered false imprisonment. " Sir George Grey directs me to inform you, that as soon as he had ascertained, by inquiry, that there was good reason for believing the evidence produced against you to be false, he recommended the grant of a pardon, and at the same time gave directions for a prosecution against the witness for perjury, in case the law officers of the Crown should be of opinion that a prosecution would be advisable ; and lam to inform you that Sir George Grey, having since fully considered the question, thinks it would not be advisable for the Government to institute a prosecution in this matter. lam further to inform you, that compensation is never made by the Government in such cases, and that Sir George Grey is not able to comply with your request in that particular. —I am, Sir, your most obedient tumble servant, S. M. PHILLIPPS." Addressed " Mr. Thomas Nott," &c. Mr. Bickerton, railway agent, of Cannon-row, West minster, deposed to a conversation taking place at Gerard's Hall between a Mr. Hill, the company's solicitor, the plaintiff, and the defendant, in which the defendant offered him 10/. in addition to the 6L lent, and 31. for champagne, to give him a discharge ; but the plaintiff declined to accept it, saying that if he took it where was - he-to look for the balance of his account. Both Flint and the defendants admitted owing some thin.. for themselves and their clerks. _ _ _ Mr. Illidge, the defendant's partner, deposed to having been present at a meeting of the creditors of Mr. Higgins, which was held at the Law Institution, Chancery-lane, and the plaintiff claiming 1201. from his estate. Mr. Nichol, an engineering surveyor, living in Duke street, proved sending several persons to the Boar and Castle by Mr. Higgins's order. Murphy, he thought, was one of them, but he did not send him by Mr. Higgins's order. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Gagent, surveyors, gave similar testimony. This was the case for the defence. Mr. Sergeant SHEA, in his reply, explained that the different sums applied for by the plaintiff arose from his being induced by the defendants to believe that Mr. Higgins was liable for part of the ac count, and that finding he could not get any part of it from either—that, in short, he had been misled, and that the defendant was clearly liable—he now brought the action for the full amount of his claim. He held that the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict on the evidence adduced. Mr. Justice ERLE told the jury that they ought to find for the plaintiff if they believed the contract was made between him and the defendants; and for the de fendants, if they believed it, was made with Mr. Hig gins. It was for them to say whether there was or was not a reasonable presumption to believe from the evidence, and particularly from the personal conduct of the defendants that he was liable for the refreshments supplied. The jury, after deliberating about half an hour, found a verdict for the defendant.

TAKING TUE VEIL. —Wednesday the imposing ce remony for the reception of two postulants to what is termed the Order of Mercy, took place in the chapel adjoining the Convent of Mercy, in Parker'a-row, Ber mondsey. It having been known that the Hon. Miss Middleton and Miss Byrn were about to seclude them selves from the world by taking the white veil of th•s order, long bef Ire the appointed hour a very numerous assemblage, including several of those ladies' friends, had tilled the body of the chapel. Shortly before twelve o'clock the wax candles on the high altar were lighted, and immediately after the tolling of the convent bell announced the approach of the sacred procession. The usual ceremony, service, &c., was then performed, and the novices invested with the white veil and cloak. The ceremony, which commenced at twelve, did not con clude till two o'clock, and the young ladies, who looked in remarkably good health and spirits, each answered the interrogatories of the celebrant with an exceedingly firm and clear voice, and bore, without apparent fatigue, the very long and somewhat arduous parts they had to bear. BAIL COURT, Dec. 3. THE QUEEN V. ARNOLD. In this case a writ of mandamus — had been issued ordering the defendant to register a certain vessel belonging to the Pacific Steam Navigation Company. To this the defendant had demurred, on the ground that the vessel was partly owned by foreigners. Sir F. Thesiger was heard in support of the demurrer, and Mr. Hill in support of the mandamus. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in giving judgment. said that the object of the mandamus was to coispel an officer in her Majesty's Customs to register a vessel be longing to the Pacific Steam Navigation Company. That was a corporation by charter. It was not attempted to be denied that the corporation was a British one, but the question was whether it was qualified to own British built vessels under the statute 8 and 9 Victoria. It had been stated that several members of the corporation were foreigners, and not British subjects. and consequently the vessels did not belong exclusively to British subjects, required by the sth section of the Act. These persons, as individual members of the corporation, would not be enabled to have privileged vessels registered with their names as the owners, but being only members of one corporate THE SCOTT MortumENT.—We understand that the corners of mouldings and pieces of corbel heads in seve ral of the galleries of this splendid work of art have been chipped off, while letters have been rudely carved into the atone in different parts of the building. We caa scarcely find words sufficiently strong to denounce the conduct of the individuals who have been guilty of such Vandalism—Caledonian Mercury. HUGHES V. RASTRICX. An arrangement was come to in this case, and a verdict entered for the plaintiff by consent. SHERIFFS' COURT, Dee. 3. WILLIAMS V. CHAPLIN AND OTHERS.—THE IRON STEAM BOAT COMPANY. This was an action brought by Mr. Charles Williams, an extensive coal. merchant, against the defendants, William Chaplin, John Sweeting, &c., the directors of the London and Westminster Iron Steam-boat Com pany, to recover the sum of 7841. 85.10 d., the balance of 1,2871.55. 10d., for coals supplied for the use of the said company. Mr. Bodkin, M.P., with Mr. Hawkins, appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Bramwell for the defendants, who, by allowing judgment to go against them by default, ad mitted that something was due to him. The case lasted the entire day, but from the evidence on the part of the plaintiff it appeared that up to the 15th of July last the plaintiff had been supplying the company with coals at 235. 6d. per ton. From that time to the 31st of the same month 311 tons more were delivered; but for these, in consequence of a great scarcity, 325. 6d. was charged, the plaintiff's agent, a man named Cripps, telling the secretary to the com pany that if any more were required 40s. per ton would be charged for them, on account of increasing scarcity. Ns objection was made, and plaintiff supplied 230 tons more between the Ist of August and the 15th. In part payment a bill for 5001 was given, and on the plaintiff making application for the money the company refused to pay, on the ground that the price of 325. 6d. and 40s. per ton for coals was most exorbitant. On the part of the defendant a tender of the plaintiff offering to supply the coals at 245. per ton all the year round, which was not accepted, was put in, and wit nesses examined to prove that the prices charged during the months of July and August were extremely high ; but, on their cross-examination, it was elicited that the market price fluctuated so much at that period of the year that it was almost impossible to give a fair average price. Mr. BODKIN having replied, The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF summed up, telling the jury the only question for their consideration was the amount of damages the plaintiff was entitled to for the goods he had sold. It was entirely a question for them to say whether 325. 6d. and 40s. was a fair price for coals during July tinactikvist. After retiring for-a short time, the jury returned a verdict for theylaintiff—Damages, 7842 Bs. 10d. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, MANSION-HOUSE. A young man named Henry Ford, was charged with having committed a burglary in a public-house, into which he bad been taken as a pot-boy from charitable motives. On Wednesday .morning, at a little after seven, Knight, No. 437 of the City police, saw the prisoner pass along Bread •street with a box, of the possession of which he gave so unsatisfactory an account, that it was found necessary to take him before a magistrate. Upon a little inquiry it was ascertained that the fellow had been about a fortnight, employed by the owner of the Castle public-house, in Little Trinity-lane, who, as he was taken in unrecommended and unknown, except for his necessities, did not allow him to sleep in the house, and that having left the house at half-past ten on the night before, to go to his lodgings, he returned, got in at the window, and stole the landlady's work box, which contained some silver and receipts, &c., and was kept at the bar. The prisoner made the old excuse, that he had received the box from some benevolent person in the street, whom he had never seen before. The prisoner was committed for the burglary and robbery. THE ROCHESTER OYSTER REDS.—Burford, a mem ber of the Rochester Oyster Fishery Association, was charged before the Lord Mayor with having violated the Act of Parliament by dredging in the beds of the associa tion, when he was not entitled so to do. The foreman of the association, who had been ac quainted with the fishery upwards of 50 years, and several of the principal members attended; the question being one which interested a great number of poor fami lies in Rochester and its neighbourhood. Mr. Wire appeared as solicitor to the company, and stated that they had been at infinite pains to establish the beds of the native oysters in the Medway ; and that by the regulations the members had certain appointed times for dredging, and that no member was allowed to dredge out of turn, so that the benefit was properly felt by the whole number. It had been ascertained that the defendant, who must have been perfectly cognisant of so necessary a rule, had violated it ; and four bushels of native first-rate oysters were yesterday morning seized by Mr. John Goldham, jun., in Billingsgate Market while on sale in his possession. The LORD MAYOR—The breach of a regulation so necessary for the protection of the fishery, is a serious offence, and I am surprised to hear such a charge against a member of the society. There was no proof that the defendant had been seen dredging. The defendant said he had not touched an oyster in the beds, for he knew his turn had passed by, but he had caught them out of the limits, where every one was allowed to fish or to dredge. The company could not show that he had been amongst the beds, and he was therefore entitled to a full acquittal. The LORD MAYOR—The Acts of Parliament says distinctly, " that if a person accused of such an offence do not prove satisfactorily to the magistrate that he has - possessed himself lawfully of the goods, he is liable to two months' imprisonment, as well as to a penalty of 51. It is not necessary for the company to prove anything but what they have proved, that you are in possession of a quantity of the native oysters without having legally dredged in the beds for them. The foreman said, in answer to a question from Mr. Wire, that it was quite impossib!e for a man to get a large quantity of oysters out of the limits of the beds, although a few were occasionally to be had in the sea or the deep water. Here samples of the oysters found in the possession of the defendant, and of those which were just brought up from the beds by the Company were produced, and they were all declared to be of the same family, and worth two guineas a bushel at the present moment. The LORD MAYOR asked whether the Company suf fered much from the unfair dealings of which they com plained? The Foreman—Your Lordship would be sur prised at what we have endured. We are obli ge d t o keep perpetual watch, and the most desperate attacks have been made upon our men by the plunderers of the beds. Perhaps four fellows would steal a boat with which they would row to the beds, and one would dredge while the fourth, who is armed with a sack full of stones, would pelt our men and desperately injure them. In one instance one of our men was almost killed. The LORD MAYOR.—WeII. Are you disposed to pro secute this man to the utmost, or will you be satisfied as he is the first person who has been brought before me, and you seem to have no reason to think that he has been engaged in any irregularity as a member of your body if I admonish him. Mr. Wire, a fter consulting the comp l a i nants, said they were satisfied with what had taken place, and that in every future case they should go for the whole penalty in both ways. The LORD MAYOR—You may depend upon my most prompt assistance. _ GUILDHALL. Mr. Peter Gordon, of Barnshury-street, Islington, was brought before Mr. Alderman Wilson and Mr. Alderman Farncomb, charged with assaulting Mr. Saunders, the keeper of the door of the court-room at the India-house. The complainant stated that yesterday morning, find ing the defendant in the hall of the India-house, exhi biting a placard in large characters, with " Justice denied. Patronage sold. No inquiry," he mentioned the fact to the chairman, and, acting under his directions, he requested the defendant to desist from exhibiting the bill, and if he did not he must be put out of the hall. The defendant continued to exhibit the placard, and the complainant took it away from him. He immediately received a smart blow on the mouth from the defendant, for which assault he was taken into custody. Mr. Alderman WILSON asked if he had seen the gen. tleman before ? The doorkeeper said—Yes ; a hundred times. He was one of the proprietors of East India Stock. Me. Alderman WILSON asked if he had any business to attend to or to transact there that morning ? The complainant said he believed not. There was not a meeting of proprietors. Mr. Alderman WILSON invited Mr. Gordon to explain his conduct. Mr. Gordon said he was a proprietor of East India stock. On the preceding evening he attended a meeting at the Hanover-square Rooms respecting the deposition of the Raja of Sattara. He received a tract there, and, having read it, he felt it to be his duty to attend at the India-house next day to obtain the co-operation of other proprietors and insist upon an inquiry. He seated him self in the ,hall near the board where the company ex hibited its notices, and he held up his placard. The com plainant came up, and, without any warning, seized his placard, which he considered an assault, justifying the return he made. Mr. Alderman %Leon asked him if be was not warned to desist before the placard was taken away ? Mr. Gordon replied, not that he could recollect. The complainant repeated that he told him he must not exhibit the placard there, or he would be turned out of the house, and the defendant made no remark. Mr. Alderman FARNCOMBE obser►ed that the defen dant must see he had no right to do what he had done, even with a view to obstruction, for if he bad a right to stand with a placard and draw a crowd round him, 20 or 50 other proprietors might claim to do the same thing, and with statements and counter- statements the place would become a scene of confusion, and the ordinary business would be obstructed. Mr. Alderman WILSON said the doorkeeper did not commit an assault in taking away the placard. He was obeying the directions of the chairman. Had not this matter been already brought under the consideration of the proprietors? Mr. Gordon said it had been under inquiry for eight years. Mr. Alderman WlLsow said the object or the defendant RA IL WA Y INTELLIGENCE. BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY. BRISTOL, THURSDAY EVENING.—A special meeting of this company was held at the Assembly Rooms, Princes-street, this day, to take into consideration the proposed extensions of the line. Mr. Brown having taken the chair— ___. The Secretary, Mr. BADHAII, read the report, which stated that the chief purposes of the proposed lines were, first, the establishment of the best and shortest high way between Exeter and Lond in; and, secondly, in creased accommodation for Midland. Somerset, and Central Devon, combining with the latter a convenient transit to Cornwall. The first was intended to be secured by a railway from the trunk line, near Taunton, to join the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, at Castle Cary. There were two other schemes for lines between London and Exeter: the Exeter Great Western, by way of Yeovil, and the South.Weer e en scheme, by way of Ba-ingstoke, Salisbury. and Yeovil. By the line from Taunton to Castle Cary, the distance between London and Exeter was shorter than by either of those two; and, instead of an expenditure of a million and a half of capital, it would not require one-fourth of that amount ; as out of 58i miles between Exeter and Castle Cary, 36i were on their trunk line, leaving very little more than 22 miles of new railway to construct. To afford accommodation to Midland So merset, it was proposed to make a line from Bteadon, near the southern end of the Uphill cutting, to Axbridee, Cheddar, Glastonbury, and Street, there to fall into the line above mentioned. The length of this loep would be 2.3 - miles. The directors felt it to be their duty to call the attention of the shareholders to the country west of Exeter, with a view to the construction of lines through that district into Cornwall; the abandonment of the North Devon Railway scheme, and the revival of tilt Devon and Cornwall Central by the South •Western Company, having left them no alternative but to carry operations into those districts, and they had therefore caused the necessary plans and documents to be deposited for the lines extending from Crediton, in the county of Devon, by way of Okehampton, to aunceston, in the county of Cornwall, a distance of 36 miles, and from Launceston to near Liskeard, 18 miles—there to meet the Cornwall Railway The CHAIRMAN apologised for the absence of Mr. Gibbs, the chairman of the company, which was caused by that gentleman's not entirely concurring in the schemes which the directors felt it their duty to recom mend to the proprietors. Hitherto they had worked most cordially with the Great Western Company, but that company had recently thought fit to promote a scheme between Exeter and Yeovil, which, if successful, would divert the most impot tent traffic from their hue, that of the through traffic to London. The directors, therefore, felt bound to promote the schemes then before them, for the purpose of protecting their interests, when their lease to the Great Western Company expired, which it would in two years. The Chairman concluded by moving a resolution approving of the report, and authorising the directors to take the necessary steps for carrying out the proposed lines. Mr. VATCHER seconded the resolution. Mr. MORTIMER asked whether Mr. Gibbs had seceded from the direction, The CHAIRMAN replied in the negative, and the resolution being put, was carried unanimously. Another resolution, authorising the directors to make the Parliamentary deposits, was also carried ; and after a short conversation, in the course of which Mr. Gregory, the new engineer, explained the course of the line, the meeting separated. WARWICK, WORCESTER, AND RUGBY. The shareholders in this defunct scheme assembled yesterday at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, to consider what steps were most advisable to adopt, in order to wind up the affairs of the company and divide the balance of the capital among the proprietors. Mr. Ward, M.P., was called to the chair, and briefly stated his regret that their prospects were not of a more en couraging nature. In compliance with the expressed desire of the shareholders, the directors had amalga mated with two other companies, but he regretted to say, that owing to the inefficiency of the plans they were unable to pass the Standing Orders' Committee. There was now in hand, after setting aside a consider able sum to meet the expenses of a Chancery suit, in which one of the amalgamated companies had become involved, the sum of 6,7901., which would afford a re turn of 7s. 6d. per share. By the financial statements it appeared that 43,9111. had been received as deposits upon 20,910 shares at 21. 2s. each, and that the entire disbursements amounted to 38.0001. Mr. Spackman and several gentlemen afterwards addressed the meeting, and urged the necessity of declaring the company bank rupt, as if such step were not taken, it would be impos sible to obtain any revelation respecting the company's affairs. They believed the affairs had been grossly mis managed, and that a much larger dividend would be returned, if the meeting decided upon declaring the dis solution an act of bankruptcy. After an angry alterca- tion, Mr. Spackman, Mr. Samuels, and Mr. Clarke were appointed scrutineers, to register the shares. Upon investigation, however, it appeared that there was not a sufficient number of shares represented to constitute a meeting. The proceedings were, therefore, adjourned until Wednesday next, in order to obtain the requisite number of votes. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, DECEMBER 3.
