The half-yearly general meeting of the share holders of this company was held yesterday, at the Euston Station; S. Morton Peto, Esq., M,P., chairman, presiding. On the motion for affixing the seal of the company to the register, Mr. CRADOCK inquired whether the register was open to the inspection of the shareholders ? The CHAIRMAN said the directors did not think they were justified in showing the respective holdings of the shareholders, and, as' he was at present advised, he should decline to allow the inspection of the regis ter; but a list of the shareholders could be seen in the company's office. Mr. CRADOCE observed that the Court of Queen's Bench had decided that the shareholders had a right to demand an inspection of the register. After a short discussion an amendment was made by Mr. CRADOCR, that the seal be not affixed, but it was lost on a show of hands. The following is an abstract on of the report which was submitted to the meeting:— "The statement of accounts forwarded to the share holders, shows that the net earnings , of the line during the half-year ending the 31st of December last, have amounted to 47,7101. 10s. 10d.;" the most satisfactory feacture in those accounts being, that the packet ser vice, which has hitherto been worked at a loss for the sake of the traffic which the steam-vessels brought to the railway, has yielded, after pay ment of the working charges, 3,1451. 9s. 7d. during the period under review, which amount includes the sum of 3121. 3a. 2d., received as salvage for services rendered to the Yorkshire, merchantman, wrecked off Holyhead. The settlement with the Post-office has now been com pleted, by an allowance to the company of 2,0501. 12e. I,od. for the two months not included in Mr. Roebuck's award; which amount, with 28,1281. adjudged to them by that gentleman, gave the company 30,178/. 12s. 10d. for the entire service performed. But the larger amount of 35,000/. calculated upon the basis of what the company would have been entitled to under the con tract, having been paid in advance by the General Post office, it became necessary to refund to that department the difference between that sum and 30,1781. 12s. 10d. (or 4,021/. 7s. 2d.), and the same has been deducted from the receipts of the several periods to which the over-payment in question relates. Upon the same prin ciple the amount due to this company on account of the reduction of charge for locomotive power by the London and North-Western Company has been disposed of, and the sum (1,5531. 16s. 3d.) credited to the period to which it belongs. By means of these arrangements, and by the adjustment of outstanding liabilities on traffic ac count, the directors have been able to close accounts which had been inconveniently kept open. " The accounts exhibit a net balance of 24,5274 Sc. 2d., from which the directors recommend the payment of a half-yearly dividend of Bs. 3d. per share on the first preference shares. Your directors have deemed ft necessary, fer the protection of your interests, to seek Parliamentary powers for the construction of an exten sion of the line from Chester to Birkenhead. In the B:11 introduced for this purpose, they have also sought release from annual payments to the Commissioners of her Majesty's Woods and Forests, on account of slope of embankment at Conway-bridge and Stanley Sands, and power! to convert the debenture debt of the company into stock, guaranteed by the Loudon and North Wes tern Company. By this last-mentioned arrangement, if sanctioned by the Legislature, the directors do not doubt that they should be able to borrow the sum now repesented by the debentures of the company, upon such term% as would considerably reduce the present heavy amount of interest, which forms the first charge upon the earnings of the line. Referring to the resolution of the general meeting of March in last year, and the report then pre sented to the proprietors, as to the establishment of an hotel in the neighbourhood of Bangor and the Britannia bridge, your directors have frequently had under their consideration the best manner of effecting the object of the resolution, without using the capital of the company, and feeling that the establishment and maintenance of the proposed hotel will be of very great value to the in terests of this company, they are prepared to assist par ties who may embark in that undertaking, by allowing a per eentage to them on all traffic brought to or from the hotel. In the report of the resident *ngineer (hereto at tacheds the works in progress and the state of the railway are satisfactorily mentioned. The arrears of calls on the 50/. shares amounted, on the 31st December last, to 36,6391. Since that date payments have been made, and others may be expected to the extent of 5,301/ 10s., reducing the arrears to 31,337 1 . 10s. With respect to this sum, 59 leshares, upon which 20,2451. remained un paid, have been already forfeited; and notices of for feiture have been given to the holders of all the remain. ing shares. The directors new request your confirma tion of a resolution of their board, declaring these 366 shares forfeited. They also solicit your authority to dis pose of these shares in such a manner as they may deem advisable. Mr. W. Jackson, ALL'., and the Hon. A. Kinnaird, directors, and Mr. John Lambert, auditor, retire by rotation. These gentlemen being eligible, offer themselves for re-election." The engineer's report is as follows :- 4. I belt to report, for your informatioh, that the branch to Port Penrbyn was opened for the slate traffic, from Colonel Pennant's quarries, the beginning of this year, and he is now making extensive alterations at the port for the traffic. Tho works of the Holyhoad Extension, including the jetty, cattle landing, and loading placcs and sidings, and the coal loading machine, are now ready for traffic, and the goods shed on the jetty will be ready next week. The goods sheds, and other works at the various intermediate stations, ordered for the full develop ment of the local traffic, have been finished, and the sidings, &c , for the through traffic, are in hand, and will be finished by the Ist of May next. An engine was taken over the Bangor and Carnarvon Railway, as far as Port Dinorwig, on the Ist inst., and the slate traffic from Mr. Smith's quarries commenced to-day. I fully expect that the hne to Carnarvon will be finished, and ready for traffic, by the middle of May next. The permanent way, works, and stations, both of the main line and branch railways, are in good order and condition." An abstract of the accounts has been already pub- lished in The Sun. The IIAIRMAN said, in mo v i ng th e a doption of the account S and the report, be felt it his duty to offer such remarks in elucidation of them, and also such in formation as to the whole state of the company's affairs, as would place before the shareholders the entire state of the undertaking; and if he failed in doing so, be would afterwards be happy to answer frankly and fully any questions which might be put to him. In the first place, he had to state that the ut most cordiality reigned in the board.—(Hear, bear.) From the time when, by an unanimous and cordial vote of the board, he was induced to accept the chairmanship of the company, now a year ago, up to the present moment there had never been the slightest possible difference on any one question.— (Hear, hear.) This would be a satisfactory announce ment, for, as practical and commercial men, they must be aware that no undertaking with a divided management could prosper.—(Hear, hear.) In the second place, he had great pleasure in assuring them that no difference of any sort or kind had arisen between them and any of their neighbours. He made - this statement more particularly with re gard to the London and North-Western Company; for, as he had mentioned on former occasions, he believed their prosperity mainly depended on the cordial concurrence and hearty co-operation of that company in all their undertakings for the de velopement of their traffic.—(Hear, hear.) They had not received from the board of that company simply a cold, formal recognition of everything they proposed, but the most hearty co-operation and most substantial practical aid which it was in their power to give, or for which this company aught con sistently to have asked.—(Hear, hear.) During the past year the extension for the temporary station, at Holyhead, to the end of the pier had been completed, and this, too, within the estimates and without any pay ment to the Government for the facilities given by them. By referring to the engineer's report, it would be seen that the goods' station would soon be ready; so that the goods traffic with Ireland might be commenced within a few days from the present time. The Bangor branch, :open ing upon Col. Pennant's quarries, had been finished within the last three weeks, and Col. Pennant was now constructing quays at Bangor, and also all the lines and sidings necessary forthe development of the slate traffic. The construction of this line had been carried out without any expenditure on the part of the shareholders, except for supplying materials for the permanent way. The line to Port Dinorwig, opening upon Mr. Ashton Smith's quarries, was opened yesterday, and the first cargo of slate from it had been brought over the line. The sidings throughout the whole of their lines requisite for the due development of the mineral traffic had been carried out, and those and the other necessary works would be completed by the Ist of May. So far they had, been placed in a position to develope thoroughly this part of their traffic. During the year the board had anxiously considered the best me ans o f develop ing the traffic in connexion with Ireland. They had always felt that if Holyhead was to be taken as the terminus of the line, the great object for which it was originally constructed would never be attained, and a dividend to the proprietors never paid.—(Hear.) They had, therefore, opened a communication with all the various railways in Ireland and England, and they had succeeded in perfecting a "through booking" arrangement, which would largely develope the traffic with Ireland. They had now eighty-three stations in England, Scotland, and Ireland, in which " through booking" had been established ; fifteen railway companies had entered into this arrangement. "Through booking" bad been extended to Bristol and London on the south, Grimsby and Hull on the east, and Edinburgh and Glasgow on the north. The " through parcels' " traffic in December last was only m established onth it had a tdo beenDubline x t a n n i d e •s itxo fourteen stations rteen on the London scarcelyd ou g s g oasi goods o m and en principal ta,n)dworwelml, Nor th - Western line, but since the 31st of cities that and towns in England - The stern had been found the present in Ireland.

If be sent from any one i s . tati o o r n p in arcel Engla : d l to Ireland, or from any station in Ireland FRIDA to England with one payment, including all charges, omitting the intervention of agents, and exclusive of the cost of shipping, and over a short route, there could not fail to be a great amount of additional traffic. Such a system only could properly develope the Irish traffic. If asked for a test as to the advantage of " through booking," as far as it had goee, he would point to the receipts for the boats during the first six weeks of this year, which showed an advance of 45 per cent. over the first six weeks of last year.—(Hear, hear.) The boats had maintained great regularity during the present year. In the first six or seven weeks there had been a degree of unpropitious weather, the occurrence of which on any previous occasion was not within the memory of any of their (Beers or naval men con nected with the Holyhead station, yet the regularity of transit by the boats was such that on comparing the arrival of the expresses at the Crewe station with the arrival of the boats at Holyhead it would be found that the boats were the most regular, of the two. He ought perhaps to refer to the highly efficient state of the boats, not simply to their state ' of repair, but to their excellent machinery and boilers, and the arrangements which conduced to the comfort and convenience of the public. All these mat ters had been constantly attended to. In the person of Captain Hurst, who was their steam super intendent, they had an officer not only capable of attending to his duty in these and other respects with zeal and efficiency, but the most correct and careful man with whom he had ever been brought in contact.—(Hear, hear.) In the present year there was a prospect of several important extensions being opened in Ireland. Among the most important was the railway to Belfast. In May it would be opened to Drogheda- They experienced the greatest cor diality and thorough-going amity in their connexion with all the directors of the various Irish lines. The increase in the company's receipts during the year was 17,6521. 13s. 4d., while the decrease in the expenditure amounted to 2,5131. 15s. 3d., making a larger sum applicable to a dividend this year, as compared with the last, of 20,1651. 18s. 7d.—(Hear, hear)—and this was with out a ny additio n f or th e m i nera l an d s l ate tra ffi c , an d any goods traffic being developed and con the Irish coast, a n d w ithout any of the h con nected advantages which he had already pointed out as nl i ov i te a i e eht l er tyodutwoitahccrue to the company. The increase in the charges for the half-year was 8571. 64. 2d. In advertising, printing and charges incidental thereto, they had expended in the half-year 1,1721. 9s. Bd. The " through -booking" arrangement could not be achieved without an agency, and that agency had been of the most efficient character possible. This ar rangement could not also be accomplished without extensive advertising and placarding in every town to The directors h a d s p en t 3,000/. in this manner, and had which the " through-booking " applied. charged the amount against revenue, though it ought to have been spread on the next four or five had engaged a gent l eman o f high standing and of great kno w l e d ge an d exper i ence to make preliminary accounts. Besides the agency in Ireland , they e y r e r a a r n s g ' ements for the slate traffic. In the last four or five months he had been in nearly every town of importance in England and Scotland for that purpose, and when the slate traffic was thoroughly opened, the inhabitants of these towns would be prepared to avail themselves of the increased facilities offered to them. The fact of the pre liminary expenses being charged against the the contrary, it revenue of the half-year proved that the di rectors did not desire to give the accounts the most favour a bleappearance—on showed that they charged against revenue all they properly could, whether the expense incurred was for the present or future benefit of the company.L. (Hear, hear.) If they had nor done so, they mi g ht have paid interest on the entire preference stock for the past year. He felt great dissatisfaction and dis appointment with regard to the result of the m e n award. They were obliged to deduct a sum of 5,0001, which the directors had calculated upon receiving in preceding accounts. ThelGovernment contract was 30,0001. per annum, and the directors were surely entitled to expect that no deduction would had b a e made t in consequence of the break at the Britannia-bridge. He considered that the companyta w ke h n i by the ch in neyany in grievous cause of complaint, inasmuch as they of money other had expended nearly a million country erection could ld aalonly stupendous be works, aader Govern ment, and the fact of their Government taking ad vantage of the difficulties thrown in their way, to seek a reduction in the contract, was most unfair and unhandsome.—(Hear, hear.) The company intended to proceed to Parliament for a Bill, but it did not contemplate any additional call upon the shareholders.—(Hear, hear.) The directors had thought it right to apply, in conjunction with the North-Western, for a separate entrance to Bir kenhead.—(Hear, hear.) The obstruction at this point in the mineral traffic to the Mersey caused a delay of four days. They also asked for powers to increase the tolls on a certain portion of the line, in consideration of the enormous cost they had been put to in erecting the Menai and Conway bridges.—(Hear.) They also asked for powers to issue perpetual preference stock, which would be guaranteed by the North-Western Company. That would effect a saving of 10,0001,, a year. The North-Western had readily consented ea, which would enable them to instead of 5 per cent. as formerly. raise They a ck a las t ao h e e ya s d ka e te b d3 e debentures, r h a exempted from a charge of which was That charge was utterly a the company by the Government,atpresent t the imp a o a s a e a d p u an p c o y n 03f66certain a s n l i n p u s m o , f disgrace to the Government, and an injustice to the company. He had thought that when the Govern ment spent some years ago three millions t o get a communication with Ireland i n thi r ty- s i x h ours th e y would not have fixed a p ermanen t c h arge o f that company kind upon a which, at an expense of four millions, had reduced the period occu pied in the journey to twelve hours.—(Hear, hear.) The only additional expenditure to be imposed upon the shareholders would be the con struction of sidings and other works for the stowage of slates, so as to facilitate the conveyance of that kind of goods. The only other additional expendi ture would be the increase of working stock, bat that had received the sanction of the shareholders at the former meeting. The Chairman next alluded to the construction of the hotel at Bangor, and said the plan proposed by the directors was to allow the person erecting it 25 per cent. on the amount of traffic received by the company at the hotel sta tion, and that this should continue up to the point when he received interest upon his outlay at the rate of 7 per cent. It was esti mated that such an arrangement would put 70 per cent. into their pockets on the additional virtually ne t i ncurr i ng a f art hi ng ' s In co nc l us i on , th e c h a i rman sa id e tr x a p ffi en e s , e, t — ho ( n H g e h ar.) his conviction as to the development of the traffic an the railway was precisely what it was at first—that he had seen nothing in the course of hie constant visits on the rail way to alter :that opinion ' and that he was sure all he had pointed out would be more than fully realized.—(Cheers.) Mr. HENSMAN said the directors promised last year a dividend of three per cent., but that promise was a being fulfilled as ever.: They had a ear, honest, and straightfor wardnriegwh right t o far expect from balance-sheet, but the one presented to the shareholders was not of that character. It was a fallacy to suppose that the balance of 24,0001., as set forth in the accounts was correct, because there was placed to revenue the net amount received from May, 1848, to December, 1851. Instead of being a balance of 24,0001. there was, after allowing a certain sum for paying up the preference shares, an actual deficiency of 119,000/., which was paid out of capital. No hope of any temporary advantage ought to induce the proprietors to blink at such a state of affairs. It was important to them as well as the public that directors should not' be allowed to " cook up" accounts so as to show either a balance or a deficiency —which ever suited their purpose. The CHAIRMAN said his .opinion that the rail way would Produce three per cent. to the old pro prietors was still, unaltered, and the increase of receipts during the last half-year showed that his expectationi had been 'partly fulfilled. The railway had been,rescued from the depth of misery, and had become one of a remunerative character.—(Hear.) A SHAREHOLDER repudiated the assertion that the directors either "cooked" the accounts or tampered with them.—(Hear.) In reply to some observations regarding the American S route, The CHAIRMAN said the Admiralty were now pre paring moorings at Holyhead to faciliate the landing of mails from American mail packets, and this was an evidence of the importance which the Government attached to the route by Holyhead.—(Hear.) The motion was then agreed to. A resolution, authorising the payment of a divi dend of Bs. 3d. per share, to be payable on the 18th of March, was next passed. A resolution was then proposed, approving of the erection of an hotel and grounds near Ban gor, and authorising the directors to assist in promoting the same, and the formation of a com pany for the purposes thereof; empowering the di rectors also to contract with such company for allow . e ing them 25 par cent. on t h e amoun t of b t fares, so that 7 p er cent. s h ou ld b e secure d on the cost of the hotel and grounds. t h e for- A resolutio n was a l so passe d au th o rising feiture of the unpaid shares. lected a .

On Monday night Mr. Josh Silsbee, an American comedian, whose popularity has been great in London, made his first appearance here in Jonathan Ploughboy, a part he played nearly a hundred nights in the me tropolis. ,Tne piece is entitled The Forest Rose, and is of itself a very trashy affair, though it serves well enough as ; a vehicle for displaying the comic powers of Mr. Silsbee. These are of the genuine Yankee order—Jonathan Ploughboy is a regular screamer. His humour is of the driest and broadest, and so abundant and spontaneous that its effects are ir resistibly. contagious ; the laughter it excites is general and continuous. There is not much wit in the words, but the extremely odd and characteristic style in which they are spoken, th e pecul i ar i t i es o f accent and expression with which they are dropt and slipt from Jonathan's lips affect the risible muscles of the audience in a marvellous degree. His strange dress and gro tesque attitudes are also no slight source of the fun his acting produces; every gesture is amusing and character istic; he appears as if filled w i t h i rrepress ibl e comic humour which flies off in electric s p ar k s a t all points—from the ends of his fiery re d h a i r to the soles of his Jonathanian boots. He draws amusement out of his hat as a conjuror d oes trinkets, and throws infinite expression into the collar and tails of his coat. In short of its kind the delinea tion is perfect—a caricature it may be, but essentially true to nature, i. e., Yankee nature, and a consummate work of art. Mr. Silsbee performs in another pi ece with almost equal spirit and humour, but his style, o f course, is the same. He appears every night t this we e k, and we may promise all who go to see him that they will be kept on the broad grin the whole time heis on the stage.—Scotsman. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Maidstone, March 11. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE and a Special Jury.) • THE QUEEN V. LORD R.ANELAGH. This was an indictment against the defendant for a common assault. . Mr. E. James, Q.C., Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Bodkin were conusel for the Crown; Sergeant Shee and Mr. Ballantine appeared for the defendant. Mr. JAMES said that this was a prosecution against the noble defendant by the South-Eastern Railway Company, on whose behalf he had the honour to ap pear; and they had felt it their duty to promote the pro ceeding in order to protect their servants in the execu tion of their duty. Lord Ranelagh was charged by the present indictment with having committed an assault upon a person named Price, who was a ticket-collector in their service, and the transaction which formed the subject of inquiry took place on the 3d of August last, at one of the stations of the company, and they had felt it to be their duty not only to their own ser • vents, but also for the protection of the public and of the property that ,was entrusted to them t o a very large amount, to institute the present proceedings. He said that it appeared that on the night in question Lord Ranelagh, Lord Alfred Churchill, and some other persons of respectability and distinction, were returning to London after having dined at Green wich, and, as was usual on a Sunday evening, there was a very great crowd of persons assembled at the station, and Price, the ticket collector, in the course of doing what ho conceived to be his duty for the prevention of confusion, was alleged by the present indictment to have been assaulted by the defendant. The case was certainly originally ono of a very trivial character, but subsequent proceedings that had taken place connected with it had given to it a great deal more importance, and he now thought it right to say that having, witti his Learn* d Friend, looked most carefully over the depositions, and seeing that Lord Ranelagh had pledged his oath to the fact that there was no foundation for the charge that was made against him, and that he had also instituted criminal proceedings against the persons who had pre- ferred the charge, and that his evidence was supported by the testimony of the highly respectable persons who were with him upon'the occasion, they were of opinion that there must have been some mistake in the matter, and be should therefore withdraw from offering any evidence in support of the present indictment. Sergeant &LEE said he had the honour to appear on behalt of Lord Ranelagh on the present occasion; and be begged to state that his Learned Friend bud done him no more than justice when he stated that his Lord= ship bad done everything that a gentleman and a man of honour could do to rebut the charge that had been made against him. Under these circumstances, after the course that had been adopted with regard to the prosecu tion by the South-Eastern Railway Company, he thought he should be acting in the best way for all parties by withdrawing from offering any evidence in support of the other indictments in which Lord Ranelagh was the prosecutor. Verdicts of Not Guilty Were then taken upon all the indictments, and the proceedings thus terminated. RANGER V. RUSSELL. This was a common jury case. The actiou was brought by the plaintiff to recover damages from the defendant, who was sued as a minor, for the seduction of his daughter. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Addison, were coun sel for the plaintiff; Mr. Sergeant Channell appeared for the defendant. Tho plaintiff in this action was a bailiff to a gentle. man named Penfold, and resided at Loose, near Maid stone, where he occupied a farm. He had eight children, the eldest of whom, Elizabeth, a girl twenty-one years of age, was the unfortunate subject of the present ac tion. It appeared that the father of the defendant, who, it was stated, is a lad under twenty, lived a short dis tance from Loose, and occupied a farm, and was also a cattle-salesman in an extensive way of business, about two years ago occupied a small piece of meadow land belonging to Mr. Penfold, the defendant's employer, and this led to the defendant going there occasionally to look after his stock, and thus an intimacy sprung up be tween him and the plaintiff's daughter. According to her evidence, the first time the defendant saw her he told her he should like to have her for a wife, and asked her to go out and walk with him, and she consented to do so, and after the intercourse had existed for a short time an improper intimacy took place between them, the result of which was the birth of a child in May last. It appeared that the mother of the girl had been ill for a considerable time, and thus the parties had facilities for keeping their connexion secret from the family ; and it was stated that the defendant used to come to the plain tiffs cottage and whistle, and the daughter Elizabeth used thenito go out and walk with him. When-she informed the defendant, however, that she was in the family way, his pretended affection seemed to cool immediately, and after a very short time he discontinued his visits alto gether. Sergeant CHANNELL addressed the jury briefly on be half of the defendant, and urged every topic that could be adduced in mitigation of damages with his usual ability. lie contended that it was idle to look upon this case as one of seduction, and said that the real fact was that it was a verification of the old son g , " Whi stle, an d I'll come to the e, m y lad; " and that both parties, al though they had no doubt acted very improperly in a moral point of view, were equally to blame, and that there was no seduction in the matter. He concluded by expressing an opinion that the case was one which frow its circumstances would have been much better disposed of by an application to a magistrate for an order of affi liation, and he said he felt assured that if the jury should be of opinion that the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict at all, that they would see that it was a case which called only for very moderate damages. Mr. Baron PARKE having summed up, The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 601. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) Thomas Brown, 23, a respectable-looking young man, was indicted for uttering forged 51. Bank of England notes. Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosecution. The offence imputed to the prisoner appeared to have been committed in a very ingenious manner. It was proved that ho had enclosed a forged 51. note in an en velope, addressed to the postmasters at Dover and Deal, asking in the name of an inhabitant of the town a post office order for the amount upon some place a short dis tance off. Tho note appeared to have been tolerably well executed by being traced over a genuine note by means of a pen, and they were all cut in half to give them the appearance of having been sent by post, and a piece of stiff paper was pasted at the back which partly concealed the watermark. The practice of the prisoner was to give the letter and its contents to any respectable -looking lad he met in the street, and in two instances ho obtained post-office orders for the forged notes. He then, it ap peared, proceeded to Margate, where he made a third attempt; but hero the fraud was discovered, and the pri soner was taken into custody, and on his being searched five other forged Si. notes were found in his possession, as well as the money orders that ho had received a Dover and Deal, and also a num b er of other letters ad dressed to different postmasters in the neighbouring towns, by means of whi c h h e , no doubt, intended to have carried on still further his:system of fraud. Tho prisoner told a very lame story in his defence of his having found the forged notes in a railway carriage; and ho said that believing them to be genuine to the expedient ho had adopted to get he resorted o rid of fearing that if he attempted to pass them the or d t i h n e a m r; way ho should get into trouble. and the pri - Tho jury returned a verdict of Guilty , goner was sentenced to be transported for 14 years. Cam b r idge, March 11 . NORFOLK CIRCUIT. The Chief Justice took his seat this morning at ton o'clock in the Crown Court, and having charged the grand jury proceeded to the Civil Court, where there placed that was an entry of two common and one special j ury cs, © for trial. His Lowman' , on o p e ning the court, intimated tinder the peculi ar circumstances in which he wmentione dst t a h n a d t t n h v e er ro ta ad tvh c ae a lu s n e aebxlte aasssiszi:ts: by the absence of his Learned Colleague, ho thought advisable at ence:hooeutiadte by us yesteaday.

The calendar contains the n ames o f 31 prisoners, c harged wi th five arsons, thre e burglaries, one stabbing, two highway robberies, ono housebreaking, on e s h eep _ stealing, one concealment of birth, one embezzlement, one forgery, and five cases of larceny. At eleven o'clock John Prendergast, Esq., Court, Q.c took his seat in the Crown ' when the following cases were disposed of. James Grant, aged 23, de scr ib e d as a banker's c in the calendar. pleaded Guilty t o an indictment lei charg ingr him with having stolen from his employers, Richard llanbury Gurney and others, bankers, at Wisboach, three several 100 1. h .ank-notes within the space of six calendar months, Mr. TOZER, on behalf of the prisoner, honed that the Court would deal leniently with him. He was of most r esPr4 , ,bl , 3 parentage, and had up to the tr,;,rctio , ' i't quti.tion burne an ext.::ie;:L . - sre:4.li.r. Tie east: LA 6, 1 - - cited great sympathy at Wishea c h an d it s v icinity, and a petition had been prepared on behalf of the prisoner, which was signed by 105 persons of respectability, in eluding five clergymen and one magistrate. Under these circumstances, he hoped the Court would take a merciful view of the prisoner's offences, for which he felt the greatest possible remorse. His LORDSHIP observed that the reception of peti tions was out of the regular course. The question was, would the prosecutors recommend him to mercy? Mr. D. BROWN, who appeared for the prosecution, stated that he was instructed to do so. The prisoner had been in the bank for eight years. The Conn' iuquired whether the prisoner had evi denced his contrition by doing all in his power to relieve the bank from the embarrassment which might arise from his misconduct ? The prosecutor stepped forward and assured his Lord ship that such was the fact, and he begged to plead for mercy. Mr. TOZER then called a witness, who gave the young man a good character. His LORDSHIP then having pointed out to the prisoner the magnitude of his offences, and the consequence which would have ensued but for the merciful interfer ence of his employers, whose confidence he had so much abused, sentenced him to one year's imprisonment, with hard labour, a sentence which could not but be con sidered as a most lenient one, under all the circumstances of his case. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Salisbury, March 11. CROWN COURT.—(Betore Mr. Justice TALFOURD.) James Cadby was indicted for attempting to strangle Mary Ann Cadby, his wife, at Melksham, with intent to kill and murder her. Mr. Hodgson was counsel for the prosecution. The poor woman was too ill to attend the assizes, and therefore her deposition, taken before the magistrates, was read. The prisoner, upon being called on for his defence, said he had only struck his wife once. He accused her of being unfaithful to him, and that it had made him cut of his mind, and he scarcely knew what he did. A policeman said there had been quarrels between the man and his wife, but he believed her to be a very virtuous woman. Tile Learned JUDGE having summed up, the jury re turned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Justice TALFOURD sentelaced him to be trans ported for 15 years. NORTHERN ChiGUlF.—York, March 10. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) The greater part of the day was taken up by two ac tions for goods sold and delivered, in the first of which the defence was that the goods supplied, a power-loom, was of no use, for it would not work; in the second, there was a plea of payment, and the only question was whether the payment bad been made to a person authorised to receive the money, the person to whom it was paid not having accounted for the receipt, or handed over the money to the plaintiff. In the first action the jury found for the plaintiff, in the second for the de fendant. CROWN COURT.—(Before r. Justice CRESSWELL Grace Atkinson, a respectably-dressed woman, appa rently about 45 years of age, was indicted for shooting at Francis Long, ou the 29th of January last, at Kirby with-Netherby, with intent to murder him, to maim him, or to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Pickering and Mr. Bayley appeared for the pro secution, and Mr. Bliss, Q.C., for the defence. It appeared from the opening of the Learned Coanurl for the prosecution, and from the evidence calh.d in sup port of it, that the prisoner is the wife of a carpeeter, living at a place called Nowker-hill, and that her hus band, being pretty well off, bad purchased some land from the prosecutor's father and built a house upon it, where they re4ded. The house being too large fur them, they tie.k in lodgers, and the' prosecutor, a good-look tug young man of 23 years of age, a cattle-dealer, had lodged with them for about three years, paying 6s. a week fur his lodgings. The prosecutor got into some considerable arrears on account of lAa lodgings; and, in cons , queuce of the prisoner's demeanour to him, and orher violent tamper, he resolved to leeve and pay off his account. In October and November of last year he mentioned his determination to leave; and on one occasion the pri soner took up a knife and threatened to stab him. He suspected also that his box in the house had been opened, as he could not find the settlement of his pre vious account, nor some title-deeds which- he had in his box. The latter, at his entreaty, were returned to him by the prisoner. On the Bth of December he paid his account (451.) to the prisoner, having some words with both her and her husband, as he believed, owing to the loss of his former settled account, he was overpay ing the prisoners 5/. He, however, then left the house, it being agreed that he should go there for his clothes on the Saturday following, but, except for that purpose, the prisoner's husband desired that he would not go near the house again. On the 29th of January following, as the prosecutor was getting some hay off a cart at a neighbour's named Sarah Morrell, the prisoner passed him, bat he did not speak to her. About three o'clock that day she came into his barn while he was there, and and nd er s her tan h d u f s a b r a m n i d n there e r e Sheah told him she had become heiress to a n estate i n K ent, and wished him to gowithher u manager, as ,they did not wished him particularly to go to her house, as she had something to tell him, and wished to explain to him about their going to Kent. The prosecutor told her she might as well explain it where she was. She said it would give him very little trouble to go to her house, and her husband was from home. Ile told her that made no difference, and she went away angry. He had left a pair of scissors at her house, which he wanted, and he sent Morrell for them, but she sent word back that he (prosecutor) might come for them himself. In the evening, at six o'clock, having to call at a neigh bour's about some milk, he went round to the prisoner's house, and knocked at the back door. The prisoner opened the door and asked him to walk in. He asked for the scissors, and went in and sat down. She then spoke to him about his going to Kent. He said he had no objection if she made it worth his while; but that she had used him badly about the Si. when they set tled, and asked her to repay it to him, as he had overpaid that sum. She told him she would pay it to him at the rate of 6s. each weak, if he would call for it himself. He refused to do anything of the kind, and got his cap to go away, when the prisoner went to the door, locked it, and put the key in her pocket, and then went to the front door and took the key and put it in her pocket. He, however, went to the door to try to get out, and she then said she had a Si. note upstairs, and she would give it to him if he would go up. lie told her there was no occasion for that; if she wished to give it to him, she could get it. She then said that if she wont upstairs he would go out. He said, "How can I when you have. got the keys?" She said, " You can go up; what difference does it make?" and gave him a push towards the stairs. Ele went up, fol lowed and when he go t to t h e room upsta i rs s h e door ' to and lo c k e d i t , an d said, " There, I pulled by the her, have He then went to t h e window and tr i e d too Ysptnmlnow. it, but " it was so fastened that he had consider able difficulty in opening it. At length he got it open, and on looking out he saw the prisoner on the door- step with a gun in her hand, and on seeing him she said, "It you come out there to-night I will shoot you dead." He told her she had no occasion to shoot, but she re peated the threat. The window was about fifteen f e et high, and he got out and hung by his hands by the sill, and tried to rea c h th e w i n d ow - s ill be low. Whilst doing so the prisoner took up the gun and pointed it at him, and he dropped on to the ground on his feet and hands with his face towards her. As he roso his head the gun was fired, the charge just missing his head and lodging in his thigh. She was then only two yards off. He went a few y ar d s be fore ho knew h e was shot, when he fell, cryi ng out , "Oh dear, get help, you have shot me." She then went and fetched a neighbour named Haven, and a Mrs. Dearlove, who was lodging there, crying, a n d appa rently in distress, saying that a man was shot. She did not to them deny that she had shot the prosecutor, but only said be came begging for 51. The prosecutor was taken to Mrs. Haven's, where his leg was obliged to be amputated. It appeared also that shortly before the 29th the prisoner had gone to the house of a person named Appleyard, when be and his wife were there alone, they having also formerly lodged with her, and had offered them a sovereign if they would go with her before the justices at Knaresborough , and swear that they haseen a d t . _ the prosecutor have connexion with her on the fla g s her house, which they refused to do, as it was not a 6 at true.

He said he had received a 101. note fro° Holmes. and I asked him under what circumstances ? He said Holmes owed him 31., and he (prisoner) gale him 71., and Holmes then gave him the note. Mr. biullens said this evidence completed one case of an extensive series of emeezzletnents under which head he bad classed the last case until he discovered it to be a clear one of forgery. He then proposed a further re mand, as there were so nesny transactions in which the prisoner was implicated with Holmes, that it required time to ascertain the extent of the frauds, which ha d been carried on for some time past. The prisoner was then remanded for a week. CLERKENWELL.
