For several days Mr. Benjamin Edgington's men have been employed in deco rating the Charing-cross station with flags, whilst Mr. Edgington, of the New Kent-road, has been engaged in fitting up the new station at Cannon-street. The directors mustered at an early hour in tho morning, and they pro ceeded by special train over the new line, but unfortunately one of the trains ran off the metals and caused consider able delay, but no one was ininred. This portion of the line promises, from the increasing traffic of the City, to be one of the most remunerative belonging to tho South- Eastern Company.

CAUTION TO WORKMEN CARRYING TOOLS IN THE STREETS. SMITH V. EMERTON. This was an action to recover 6s. damages, sustained by the plaintiff through the negligent conduct of the defen dant. The plaintiff stated that he was walking in the city on a recent occasion, and ho met defendant, who was carrying a small plane, called a plough. Apiece of sharp iron projected over defendant's arm, and caught the sleeve of the plain tiff's coat, tearing it, so that it was necessary to have a new sleeve. Plaintiff considered that defendant was carrying the plane in a careless manner. Defendant said ho carried the plane as safely as he pos sibly could. There was a particular way that he and his fellow workmen carried the tool, and he thought it was the plaintiff's duty to have avoided it. His Honour —How were you carrying it on the day of the accident? Defendant—Just as I hold it now ; the iron will project a little .way over the arm. There was plenty of room on the pavement for plaintiff 0 have passed without touch ing me. His Honour—l do not think you carry the tool in a safe position. - Plaintiff—l may say that defendant offered me sixpence, so that I might get the coat repaired, but I told him I should want a new sleeve. Defendant—l did not offer anything. I only said that it would not cost more than sixpence to repair the coat. Plaintiff produced the coat, and his honour said it was quite clear there must be a new sleeve. Ile was clearly of opinion that plaintiff was entitled to recover. It was the duty of workmen carrying tools in the public streets, especially in the City, to take care that no injury was done to passengers. Defendant should have a bag for his tools as carpenters had, or ho should cover them up so that they might be safely conveyed through the public streets There was no doubt he had not done so in the present case, and therefore plaintiff would have a verdict with costs. POL ICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BOW-STREET. GOING TO MEET A FRIEND.—George Marshall, who re fused to state his address or occupation, was charged with creating a disturbance at the South-Eastern Railway Sta tion, Charing-cross, and assaulting Inspector Bengough. The Inspector stated that the prisoner entered the sta tion shortly before the arrival of the Margate train, and was walking along the arrival platform, when witness stopped him and told him he could not be allowed to go that way. Tho prisoner said he wanted to meet a friend who was to comp by the Margate train. Witness told him that was the wrong side, and p6inted to the place where the train would arrive. The lamps were lighted at that part of the platform, but where the prisoner stood it was in all in darkness. The prisoner went to the proper place and waited till the train came in. After the train was cleared ho again came up to witness and said, "Do you know what I could do to such a thing as you ? I could knock you down and jump your inside out,'' at the same time striking him in the face. A struggle ensued, but with tho help of a porter and a police-constable he was at once removed to:the station-house. He used a great deal of bad language, Thomas Archer, the aace porter, said that when he came to the inspector's assistance tho prisoner struck at him, but he warded off the blow. Cyrelius DuLiman, F 81, who took the prisoner to the station, said that he continued to use the same sort of lan guage as was mentioned by the inspector, not only on the way to the station, but in the cell during tho greater part of the night. Inspector Brennan said the prisoner was the worse for liquor. The prisoner admitted that he was the worse for liquor, and had said more than he ought. He thought he was entitled to go to meet his friend, and he was irritated at being interfered with. He denied that he struck the in spector, who, however, knocked him down. The inspector said there was no objection to the prisoner going to the part of the platform where the train was to arrive. But it would be dangerous to allow strangers to go blundering about in the dark in parts of the station not open to the public. He denied that ho struck the prisoner, but they fell together in the course of the struggle. Mr. Flowers said with the evidence of three witnesses before him he could not doubt that the prisoner struck the inspector. The prisoner denied it, and though ho was not on his oath lie (Mr. Flowers) paid every attention to what he said, being reluctant to believe that a man would tell a lie under such circumstances. _ _ _ The Prisoner—lf I bad struck him I would freely own it. I would not tell a lie about it for £5. Mr. Flowers—Then why should he ? A young woman named Margaret Humphrey here came forward and tendered her evidence. She said she went to the station with the prisoner to meet her husband, an d went down the platform a little in advance of him. She turned round to see if he was following her, and saw him lying on the platform, the inspector having knocked him down. She would swear that he did not strike the inspec tor. Mr. Flowers—How can you know that if you had your back turned? Witness—Oh, it was not a minute. Mr. Flowers•—lt was long enough fcr him to be knocked down. G. W. Humphrey, husband of the last witness, hero came forward, saying that he saw the whole affair from the beginning. Mr. Flowers—They did not seem to know that you had arrived. The witness replied that he did not come by that train, but by one that arrived at London-bridge an hour and a half earlier. In the meanwhile he had been. home, and finding his wife was gone to Charing-cross he followed. He described an extraordinary scene of confusion, in which 14 or 15 porters joined in knocking the prisoner about; and when he remonstrated with them for their brutality two of them seized him, flung him on the ground, kicked him, and told him that was all he got by inter ference. Mr. Flowers said it was extraordinary that his wife said nothing of all this. Tho prisoner • must pay 10s. or be imprisoned seven days. He was liable to a fine for going there drunk at all. Mary-street, Bromley, was brought up 012 remand charged with violently assaulting his wife, Jane Hall, who is 7 months' advanced in pregnancy, and has received serious injuries. The evidence given on the first examination proved that 'an atrocious atrage was inflicted on the unfortunate woman. Her husband, a dissipated fellows came home one night intoxicated while sho was lighting a fire in the kitchen, and ho commenced grumbling, and complained that the fire was not lighted earlier. He knocked her down and kicked her, and knelt upon ter chest. He was pressing her body against the floor and beating her head on the boards, when two women, named Newman and Hogan, entered and interposed. They asked him if he in tended to kill the woman, on which he turned his abuse upon them, and said it was no business of theirs. The complainant went to the door and fell down in the street, She was raised and staggered a few paces, fell again, and was insensible for some time. She was attended by Mr . Foster, a medical practitioner, who declared on his oath that she had received a kick on the lower part of the spine, and was in danger. She was carried in and out of the court in a state of great agony. She now appeared won derfully recovered, and addressed the magistrate with great volubility. She said that sho was not hurt at all, that she had no marks, and that the prisoner was a very good hus band to her except when ho '• broke out" now and then. If he was sent to prison she and her children would starve. It was all her fault. The imprisonment which her hus band had undergone would be a warning to him as long as he lived. Mr. Partridge requested Mr. Nairn to read the deposi tions, and while he was doing so, the complainant said it was all wrong, tho women Newman and Hogan saw nothing. Mr. Partridge said the complainant had been very bru tally assaulted by her husband , and she was now endea vouring to screen him. Ile could not pass over such an atrocious case as this, and the prisoner must be punished and with great severity ; no woman would be safe \ if ho was to discharge the prisoner. He sentenced him to be imprisoned four months and kept to hard labour. If the complainant and her children wore in distress they must apply at the workhouse. The Bishop of London in the Cholera Districts. Yesterday afternoon the Bishop of London visited the East of London for the purpose of con ferring with the clergy of the rural deaneries of Spitalfields and Stepney, comprising a large"num ber of densely populated parishes and ecclesiastical districts, as to the best mode of applying the cholera funds, as to providing for convalescents, orphans, &c., and to consult on the present state of the East-end parishes generally. The large pa rochial school-room in Brook-street, Spitalfields, in which the meeting was held, was completely filled. The Bishop of LONDON, in opening the proceed ings, said it was a matter of great thankfulness to Almighty God that the sore disease with which those districts had been so severely afflicted was decreasing. The thanks of all were surely due to those clergy who, at the risk of their health and life, had been labouring in ministering to the phy sical and spiritual wants of their families. Times like the present were overruled for good, morally and h p be to the poor, a n d no t on ly to them, but physically, si to i d ly' others also. The w h o l e - o f soc i e ty t mg to pause and con s id er w h a t cou ld a i s c a al be done for the welfare of those who were liable to such sore sicknesses. He trusted that this visitation would also prove a blessing in refe rence to the establishment of suitable convalescent hospitals. There was a large sum yet at the dis posal of the Mansion-house Committee, some of which and other funds might be obtained, so that suitable houses and lands might very speedily be ob tained. in d. The clergy o s might receive g ran t s f rom th e metropolitan iation to send c onva l escen t pa tients these houses, care b e i ng t a k en th a t e t o any oafsc the patients were not likely to carry infection with them. It would be well to ascertain, so far as pos sible, how many patients could be found. On these points he should be glad if the clergy could assist him with any statistics. The case of the orphans was an important one, and one of great pressing necessity. Letters which had been sent to him from those districts seemed to show that many of the children had lost both parents, while others had lost only one. It would therefore be desirable to know how many there were, iu order that provision might be made to prevent the necessity of their settling down in the workhouses. Of course, many of the children who had the misfortune to lose their parents were of a class that ought to be received into the workhouses, and he thought it ought to be kept in mind that the benevolent efforts now being made must not relieve parochial authorities from their plain duty in this matter. Nor must they sanction the idea that the instruction of children could not be properly administered in workhouses, and that children ought consequently to be removed from them. It would be fatal to confess that it was im possible to bring up children carefully in the work houses, for in m any of them the instruction and management of the children were very good. Many of the boys on attaining to the proper age were draughted off to the army and navy, or other occu pations were found for th em . With th e g i r l s th ere was necessarily much more difficulty. Many of the persons who had been afflicted with this disease would a few weeks ago have considered it the greatest calamity that could befall them to be sent to the workhouse. Alany of them were skilled workmen and persons earning fair wages. That their families had been placed in great distress, was, he considered, a fair ground of appeal to the benevolent to step in and place them in such a posi tion as they would have maintained if their parents had lived. That a large number of orphans would have to be provided for by private charity could not be denied. As to the vexed question whether the present orphanages were quite sufficient to meet all the calls that might be made, he thought it might be postponed for the present. The fund with which he was connected, and he thought the Mansion house Fund, would follow, in the matter of orphans, the same rule as was applied to convalescents, not to take in hand at present the 'foundation of any new institutions, or supplementing existing institu tions, but would, as far as they were ape, assist orphans by giving something to their maintenance either with their own friends, or in any institution that might be selected. He should like therefore to have returns from various parishes in reference to those children who had lost both father and mother, as well as those who had lost only one parent. A great deal was to be said in favour of those chil dren being sent to friends, but nothing could be said against their being provided for in other ways. In the house at Claptou which Mrs. Gladstone had se cured girls would be received, and boys above seven at the institution founded at Pimlico. On these matters full information could be obtained of Capt. Helbert, 11, Carlton-terrace. At Fulham Mrs. Tait had procured a small house where 12 girls would be received. Any clergyman might receive informa tion from Mrs. Tait on the subject. Much information on matters of detail was given by the Bishop in reference to administration of funds in answer to several clergymen who put questions to him. Th e Rev. I. TAYLOR, Incumbent of .St. Matthias, Bethnal-green, gave some information in reference to the means he had adopted for providing convales cent homes for cases which had occurred in his parish. To most of the existing homes there seemed to be some fatal objections. Some were inconvenientlysituated, some were full, and some were so far away that they could only be reached at they a great wantedexpense. But for theea places near at hand, and where there was no party religious stof London some teaching. (Hear, hear.) They wanted some place within a shilling railway fare, or w i t hi n a sh i ll i ng cab fare from their own neighbourhood. He spoke of a capital house which he had seen, but he feared it would be difficult to obtain it on account Of the timidity of the managers, who were afraid of the opposition of the neighbourhood. The Rev. W. BAIRD, of St. Gabriel's Mission, thought it would be a great blessing if an institu tion could be provided for those children who had lost their mother's protection. The Rev. ISAAC TAYLOR suggested that it would be of great assistance to the clergy if a short state ment could be drawn up showing what orphanages were available and circulated among the clergy. At present a vast deal of their time was employed in writing to various institutions for particulars. The Rev. I'. PECKSTON, chaplain of Bethnal green Workhouse, said he feared it would be neces sary to have a large increase of the funds placed at the Bishop's disposal to meet the cases that would probably arise. There were a large number of orphans in Bethnal-green, and he as a workhouse chaplain looked upon the matter in a very serious light. At the present moment his district was not altogether free from the disease. Therefore they ought to be very cautious, for they did not know one moment from another what might occur. Even now the ratepayers must feel very severely the bur deg of the rates. fie himself bad paid £2 2s. Bd. for the last half-year on a £25 year's rental, and that was a very hard thing to bear. Presently he was afraid they would have to pay £l5 or £l6 a year in Bethnal-green on a similar rental, a thought which was positively alarming. Many of the rate payers, he feared, would have to go to the work house themselves. The Rev. G. IL• arGill, incumbent in Christ Church, St. George's-in-the-East, the Rev. A. 11. Sitwell, incumbent of St. Peter's, Stepney, and the Rev. J. Cohen, rector of Whitechapel, spoke in favour of homes for convalescents. The Rev. S. B. BURNABY, rector of Wapping, strongly urged that the surrounding parishes should assist in keeping up Wapping workhouse, which was about to be closed, as a cholera hospital. The parish was entirely free from Zymotic diseases. The Rev. C. F. LOWDER, of St. George's-in-the- East, strongly urged that an application should be made for a portion of the funds of St. Katherine's Hospital, which had been removed from the east of London. He had made an application to the War office for an unused barrack, but was refused on the ground that if cholera broke out among the troops it might be required. Probably if a little pressure were put upon the War-office it might be secured. The Rev. A. STRUGNELL, minister of St. Jude's, Bethnal-green, hoped that false security would not be encouraged by reports that danger was at an end. In his district there was one fatal case yes terday, and one on the day previously. The Rev. J. PATTESON, rector of Spitalfields, the Rev. G. Eastman, chaplain of Whitechapel Work house, and other gentlemen gave the result of their experiences in their districts. The Bishop of LONDON said that at a meeting at the Mansion-house on the previous day there was a very cordial expression of a desire on the part of the authorities to co-operate as much as possible with the managers of the fund over which he pre sided and the clergy through whom it was distri buted. A very cordial desire was also expressed that the clergy should co-operate with the local committees in the general measures taken for the prevention and cure of the disease. In the Metropolitan Relief Association they took great care to communicate with the Mansion-house committee with respect to grants, and the Mansion house committee communicated with them, and it was desirable that the same good feeling should exist among the agents through whom the relief was administered. He might mention, not for the clergy, who knew it well, but for the public gene rally, that the Metropolitan Relief Association,while it distributed its alms on this and every occasion through the district visitors, made it a distinct and marked rule that religious distinctions were not to be recognised as a condition of relief, and there was no clergyman in that part of the country, ire was sure, who would not give to a poor Irish Roman Ca tholic, or to a dissenter, as willingly as to a member of his own communion. Obviously from what had been said that day, there were two things to be con sidered, viz., the permanent improvements in Lon don which might result from this great visitation, and the immediate improvements required to meet immediate wants. There might be much diversity of opinion as to the permanent machinery, and it was not unnatural that while one gentleman should have a scheme for the equalisation of poor-rates, another about St. Katharine's Hospital, they should be desirous of seeing them carried out. But in pro viding for convalescents he thought no time should be lost ; and the same remark applied to orphans. His lordship ably reviewed all the suggestions that had been made, and said he should be glad to have further details upon them, so that they might be put into a systematic form and acted upon without de lay. He thanked the clergy for their attendance, and for the reliable information they had afforded him. A cordial vote of thanks was then awarded to the bishop, who dismissed the meeting with the bene diction. IRELAND. D ÜBLIN, Aug. 31. The new Viceregal Court has arrived in Ireland at a very opportune time to relieve the dulness of the autumn holiday period by giving au impetus to social life in the Irish metropolis, which was becom ing somewhat languid. Already several Viceregal dinner parties have been given by the Lord-Lieu tenant, while Court balls, drawing-rooms, and levees are held out in promise for the future. The Lord Mayor of Dublin, tno, who has very hospitably supported his year of office, has announced his in tention of giving shortly a banquet at the Mansion house,at which Lord Abercorn is to be the honoured guest, and as Mr. Lane Joynt, the citizen upon whose shoulders the mayoralty robes fall next year, has also given promise of munificence in dispensing the hospitalities of his office, a very pleasant winter season is anticipated by the Irish metropolis. Ad dresses of various kinds and of the usual nature are still being presented at the Viceregal-lodge—some being complimentary and others didactic. Among three just presented is one of some general interest. It came from the International Rifle Association, and requested the Lord Lieutenant to permit him self to be constituted the guardian of the famous Irish trophy of the last Volunteer rifle meeting at Wimbledon, where his Excellency presided over a contest ending in Lieut. Hopkins carrying off the Challenge Prize by a single point from his compe titors, Mr. Waterman for England, and Mr. Plen derleith for Scotland. The Lord-Lieutenant com plied with the request with pleasure, and has given permission for the public exhibition of the trophy at the Dublin Winter-garden Palace. The usual Irish exhibitions of cattle, agricultural implements, fruits, vegetables, and the more attrac tive but less generally useful objects of horticulture, have been going forward with undecreased vigour. Yesterday, a very excellent display of fruit and vegetablei, combined with an horticultural exhibi tion, in which objects from the gardens of Lord Meath, Lord Powerscourt, and Lord Monck ob tained prizes, was held in Bray, under the direction of the Rathdown Horticultural Society, a society carrying on its transactions very much on the plan of the Royal Horticultural Society of Ireland. At Kildare a cattle-show took place on the previous day, and at Maryborough another agricultural dis play was opened a few days since. The mainte nance of such displays is considered of special value in Ireland, from the immense importance of every thing bearing on the agricultural products of the country ; also from their presenting a common ground on which every class may meet without ap pearing incongruous, and on the basis of a mutual interest compete fairly in producing a perfection useful to all. Mr. Joy, Q.C., and Mr. Chatterton, Q.C., are understood to have stated their intention of coming forward for the Parliamentary representation of the University of Dublin, should Mr. Walsh, the Irish Attorney-General, be called on to resign his seat through any appointment consequent on the filling up of the vacant Mastership of the Rolls. Sir A. C. Weldon's sister, a young lady, lost her life while driving on Wednesday in the neighbour hood of Mountrath, owing to the animal, attached to a phaeton in which she was seated, running away with and finally upsetting the vehicle. She survived the injuries Fihe thus received but a few hours. A circular from Colonel Wood, Inspector-Gene ral of Constabulary, has been issued from his office, Dublin Castle, announcing that the regulation granting increase of pay to the Irish constabulary had come into operation, and would date from the Ist of April last. BIG BOQUET FOR PATTL—During the perform ance of the Barber of Seville, a few days since at Ilomburgh, Miss Alice Riggs, of New York, sent Patti a boquet larger than a corn basket, and which the pretty singer was unable to carry, and had to get assistance to remove it from the stage, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES AND BY MEANS OF FORGED ORDERS.— B.enry Aston, a young man, was charged, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with obtaining some cloth from Messrs. Scott Adie, Scotch woollen merchants, Regent-street. It appears that the prisoner, who was formerly a clerk in the employ of Messrs. Mackay, Burke, and Wheeler, military tailors, No. 120, New Bond-street, but left about eight months ago, went on the 28th of last month to Messrs. Scott and Adie's and asked for two lengths of cloth, and the assistant, believing that the prisoner was still in Messrs. Mackay, Burke, and Wheeler's employ, allowed him to take them away. Information reaching Butcher, 137 C, that the prisoner was obtaining goods by similar means from different tradesmen, Butcher called upon Mr. Mackay and ascertained that the prisoner had no authority to go for goods in the name of the firm, and a warrant was then applied for, and the prisoner taken into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner. 'Thos. Hiatt, 82, Gray's-inn-road, described as a writer and grainer, was charged with knowingly uttering forged orders for the dolivery of a quantity of paper hangings, of the value of £lO, with intent to defraud Mr. Silas Tucker, of 234, High Holborn. Mr. O. W. Denney, assistant to Mr. Tucker, proved that the prisoner brought the different orders for goods, the order being signed " Thos. Hiatt," and believing the pri soner had been sent by his father, who was a customer, he allowed him to have the goods. On making inquiry at the father's address in London-street, Fitzroy-square, he ascertained that he was out of town on the day the order bore date. Mr. Mackay said ho believed the order taken to the last witness was written by the prisoner in the previous case. The prisoner was remanded, it being believed there will be several other cases. WESTMINSTER. ASSAULT WITH A FORK AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE WITH A KNlFE.—Charlotte Turner, an unfortunate woman, was charged with stabbing Susan Perkins, another unfortunate woman, living at 9, Union-place, Orchard-street, West minster. Prosecutrix said she quarrelled with a woman with whom she lived, the latter taking refuge in the prisoner's room, whither sho went with the intention of persuading her to come baat with her and have some tea. The pri soner would not open her door, and witness went . to the window to speak to her friend, when prisoner rushed out and struck her on the eye. She struck prisoner back in the face, and directly she did so, the prisoner fetched a three-pronged fork, tried to stab her in the head, but wounded her severely in the shoulder. Rosin& Bishop, a married woman, corroborated. She, with others, seized the prisoner and took the fork away with her. Neither the prisoner nor prosecutrix were sober. Mary Ann Watts, a labourer's wife, corroborated as to the assault, and said that when she was prevented stabbing prosecutrix she took up a knife and tried to cut her throat, and she succeeded in making a slight cut. The people screamed, and the prisoner, who was drunk and excited, rushed into her own room, but did no mischief to herself. Prisoner said she was made drunk by the prosecutrix, and did not recollect anything except that the prosecutrix struck her first and aggravated her. Mr. Se]fc remanded her for a week. This is not the first time that the prisoner has stood in the dock at this court charged with attempting to commit suicide. THAMES. TIIE FORGLVING WIFE AND BRUTAL HUSBAND.--Geo. Hall, a labourer, aged 43 years, and late of No. 5, Lower Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co. Yestterday afternoon applications were made to the chief clerk, Mr. Peake, at the Vice-Chancellor Stuart's chambers, Lincoln's Inn, for orders grant ing permission to certain parties to inspect the vari ous books and documtnts relating to this firm, now in the custody of the official liquidators, Messrs. Turquand and Harding. _ _ Mr. George Lewis appeared 'for a large body of the shareholders ; Mr. Burcham for Messrs. Kings cote, Grissell, and Oppenheim, the committee of supervision appointed at a meeting of shareholders Mr. Mackenzie for Messrs. Halford, Abbot, and others ; Mr. Maynard for the official liluidators. Mr. Lewis said that, on behalf of his clients, he applied that the inspection of the books should be made by Mr. Howell, of the firm of Walker, Red dall, Nix, and Howell, accountants, of 39, King street, Cheapside. Mr. Wright, who represented shareholders to the extent of 4,000 shares in the north of England, con curred in the application of Mr. Lewis.' The Chief Clerk thought there must be an inspec tion, but wished to make such an arrangement as would prevent half a dozen persons interfering. Re specting the application on behalf of the committee of supervision, he did not think it was necessary that he should make a specific order, but only that he should endorse his opinion on the summons that they were entitled to the inspection. Mr. Mackenzie had clients who were opposed to Mr. Oppenheim seeing what amounts they had in Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co. Mr. Turquand replied that the materials objected to had been prepared for the committee, and per haps the objection was not now necessary, owing to the alteration of the market. The Chief Clerk observed that the committee had a right to know, and he did not see how they could object to their seeing the books. Ho considered that his endorsement on the summons to that effect would be sufficient. Mr. Turquand—Yes. lie was sorry that the committee should have thought it necessary to ask for an order. There was a time when certain per sons were exceedingly desirous that the facts re specting them should not be known, and they re ceived several applications to that effect ; but per haps the alteration in the times had rendered that unnecessary. _ _ The Chief Clerk—Any information derived from an inspection of the books must be considered as strictly private. He merely said that as a matter of caution, not that he believed it was requisite he should say so. Mr. Grissell would so consider it. Mr. Lewis proposed that Mr. Howell should in spect the books under his direction. Mr. Turquand would object to any person hav ing access to the books. The Chief Clerk—l only gave them permission to take Mr. Howell with them. It would be very dis astrous to have any person examining the books, and their going and talking and saying, " I saw such and such a thing." Anything discovered in these books should be kept strictly private and not divulged to any one, except in any application to the court respecting them. He proposed that these parties should have liberty by their agent to make the inspection at all reasonable times, and after due notice. He would not specify the books. The agent would have liberty to take Mr. Howell with him. Mr. Lewis—And to make copies ? The Chief Clerk—Yes. Some other summonses relating to the matter were ordered to stand over. The Eyre Defence and Aid Fund. The first meeting of the committee of " The Eyre Defence Fund" was held on Wednesday, at No. 9, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall—Mr. Thomas Carlyle in the chair. Mr. CARLYLE, on taking the chair, considered that the committee should be presided over by some nobleman of power and influence. As he (Mr. Carlyle), • however, considered it to be a solemn public duty on the part of every man who believe that Governor Eyre had quelled the insurrection in Jamaica, and saved that island, to come forward and boldly proclaim such to be his opinion, he would gladly consent to take the chair at the pre sent meeting. Mr. HAMILTON HUME (the hon. secretary) read several letters from noblemen and gentlemen ex pressing disapprobation at the word "Testimonial " being used. They were all of opinion that a fund being raised for the defence of Mr. Eyre was in itself a testimonial. Mr. ALLAN LAMBERT (of the firm of Messrs. Cottam and Morton, West Indian merchants) said' that he spoke on behalf of his own and other West India firms, who were prepared to come forward and contribute largely to the fund, for they had reason to believe that, in losing his official position, Mr. Eyre had lost everything. Mr. S. C. HALL, F.S.A., believed that the pro secution of Mr. Eyre would never be attempted, but at the same time it was well to be prepared. Mr. THOMAS CARLYLE considered that it would be advisable to meet the wishes of all well-affected parties, and he therefore proposed that the title of the fund be altered from "The Eyre Testimonial and Defence Fund " to " The Eyre Defence and Aid Fund." In his opinion the amount of money subscribed, though an important, was by no means the most important point. The main object of the committee ought to be to attack resolutely, by all fair methods, the fallacy (for such he could not but believe it to be) that these noisy denunciations of Mr. Eyre were the deliberate voice of the people of England's opinion about Mr. Eyre. It was ultithately agreed that the fund should henceforth be entitled the " Eyre Defence and Aid Fund." Mr. HENRY KINGSLEY proposed, and Mr. S. C. HALL seconded, the following resolution :—" That immediate and vigorous steps be taken to increase the number of the committee." The names of several noblemen and gentlemen were recorded, to whom the honorary secretary was requested at once to write. _ _ It was resolved that the list of the committee, when completed, should be published, and that in the meanwhile the public should be invited to con tinue their subscriptions to " The Eyre Defence and Aid Fund." Captain WALROND CLARK (late 10th Hussars) proposed, and Captain W. PALLISER, R.N., se conded, a vote of thanks to the chairman. The proceeJings then terminated. The Niobe, steam sloop, 1,081 tons and 300-horse power, built at Deptford, has been hauled out of the fitting basin at Woolwich, and placed in dock for examination and completion preparatory to her being commissioned for service. The Zebra, 17-gun sloop, after a thorough course of overhaul and repair, was yesterday placed under the north sheers in basin at Woolwich, to be m asted and rigged down, and will be sp eedil y completed for the pennant. The paddle-wheel steam - s loo p Virago, , 6220 - horse power, having undergone some heavy repairs to fit her for service w ith the first division of the Ch a th a m steam reserv e, in readiness for commis sion, commenced the shipment of her coals i the s t ea m basin yesterday, preparatory to mlki n ng a preliminary tri al of her engines. The direct- acting eng ines formerly c onstructed for the Virago by Messrs. Bolton and Watt have been removed since the steamer has been under repair at Sheerness yard, and in their place has been fitted the machinery lately belonging to the Rhadamanthus. During the time the Virago has been in the shipwrights' hands—a period of several months—she has under gone some very extensive repairs, and has been almost rebuilt. She is intended for immediate commission, for service, it is understood, on the West Coast of Africa. The Supply, store vessel, Staff Commander Baw den, from Malta and Gibraltar, has discharged her cargo of returned War Department and dockyard stores at Woolwich, and will have to be docked to make good some defects. By the death of Gen. Sir C. Menzies, K.C.8., K.H., Colonel of the Royal Marine Artillery, Col. J. -H. Gascoigne, C. 8., becomes Major-General, and a general promotion takes place throughout the corps. Tit D E DITION. SUN OFFICE, 6 o'CLocK. GREECE.

The screw steamer Rodney, 78, 2,770 tons, 500- horse power, in No. 3 Dock at Sheerness Dockyard, is undergoing repairs at the hands of the shipwright staff, in order to bring her forward for commission. The estimate of the repairs required to this fine ship —one of the old class of screw two-deckers, the building of which is now discontinued—was about £17,000, but, from the nature of the alterations and repairs required to adapt her for the service fow h e h m she is intended, it is probable that even this sum may be exceeded. Her copper has been stripped off to enable an examination to be made o planking f the below her water-line. The decks have not deck planking will require yet been ripped up, but her upper to be renewed. The Rodney will be in the ship wrights' hands for some months before she is com pleted for commission.
