EXTRAORDINARY AND DOUBTFUL CllAßGE.—Francisco de Caplain, a well- dressed foreign seaman, who gave the address Sabloniere Hotel, Leicester-square, and Johnson's Coffee-house, Ratcliffe-highway, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt as follows : John Smith, a private of the 2d battalion of Coldstream Guards, said that last night, about nine o'clock, he was in the New Inn, Edgware-road, when the prisoner came in and spoke to him about some of the men in his battalion. He asked the prisoner to drink, and the prisoner asked him. Shortly after the prisoner said that as he was going to Sloane-street, .and it was in the same direction he (pro secutor) was going, he would walk across Hyde-park with him. They went into the park together, and when they had got about half way across the prisoner asked him to sit down, and then he.struck him in the face. As the prisoner promised not to repeat his conduct he went on with him till they get to the Gun publichouse in Knights bridge, where the prisoner paid for some beer. He told the prisoner that he should like some tobacco, and the pri soner paid for some and afterwards for some more beer, and as they were going along near Lowndes-square the prisoner again assaulted him. He then seized the prisoner, and held him till a man came up. The man asked him what was the matter, and on his telling him the man said he was a police officer, and took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner said that he spoke to the soldier in the publichouse as he know some of the men in his battalion, and afterwards paid for some ale and tobacco for the sol dier. He walked across the park with him, and when they got near a square (Lowndes-square) the soldier said he wanted money to get beer in the morning. He gave the soldier some, but because he did not give him enough he threw it into the road, and said he would give him in charge for assaulting him. He positively denied doing anything of the kind. M'Kenzie, 66 B, said, that seeing the soldier and prisoner struggling together he went up and the soldier gave him into custody. On the way to the station the prisoner said, "If I had committed such an act why did you afterwards con tinue so long in my company ?" and the soldier made no reply. The prisoner said the soldier had demanded money of him, the and soldier said "Yes, and you gave me 2id and I throw it in the road." He found on the prisoner the soldier's address, and on the soldier the prisoner's address. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner, who reserved his defence, for trial. THAMES. DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE.—Thomas Higgins and John Smith, who were stated to be Yankee Irish seamen, and to have lately arrived in the port of London from New York, were brought up on remand be fore Mr. Partridge, charged with highway robbery, accom panied with brutal violence. On Monday night last, between 12 and 1 o'clock, a sea man, named Michael Magennis, whose ship went down to Shields on Tuesday morning, was entering a coffee-shop in Ratcliffe-highway for the purpose of seeking a lodging, when the prisoners accosted him and said they would find him a place to get some thing to eat and to sleep in. He joined their company, and they took him "round the corner" to a very secluded place where they were joined by three other Yankee Irish. The prisoners grasped Magennis by the throat and nearly strangled him, while the others " booted him" and struck him with their fists. His trowsers pocket was torn out. It contained a purse with 3s. in money. Directly the pocket was torn out the prisoners and their companions ran away. As soon as Magennis recovered his breath he called out murder and police. William Ambridge, a police-constable, No. 192 H., saw the prisoners run away, pursued them, and, with the aid of others arrested Smith, who dropped the prosecutor's purse and money. The same constable afterwards took Higgins into custody, close .to the place where the robbery was com mitted. Neither of the prisoners made any explanation or defence, and they were clearly identified. Mr. Partridge said he had remanded the prisoners to give the police an opportunity of apprehending the other men concerned in a very savage outrage and robbery. He asked if the prisoners' confederates Lad been traced ? Ambridge—So, sir; I have not been able to trace them. Mr. Partridge—l am sorry thoy aro not in custody. The prisoners are committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court for highway robbery with violence. WESTMINSTER. THE WAY CRIME IS ENCOURAGED.—Anne Pearse, a young woman of the town, was charged with stealing a gold Albert chain horn the person. William Maitland, a carpenter, of 12, Cornwall-street, Fulham, said that at half-past 12 that morning he vt as returning home near Buckingham Palace, slightly ine briated, and met the prisoner, who accosted and walked some distance with him. Ile found all on a sudden that his watch chain was gone, and gave prisoner into custody. It was found on her. Charles Farwell, 521 A, said ho was on Constitution hill that morning, and the prosecutor gave prisoner into custody. When he went to take the prisoner the chain was in her pocket, and she threw it on the pavement. Ho took her to the station. The prosecutor had his watch in his pocket, and said the prisoner took that also, but when asked for it she threw it on the pavement, and he picked it up. Prisoner denied the statement of the constable ; said the prosecutor had dropped the watch and chain, and she picked them up only returning the watch. This the prosecutor denied. Prisoner then said she was ashamed to say how she came by the chain, Mr. Selfe cautioned her as to her future conduct, and, after telling her she would get in trouble next time, dis charged her. MARKETS.---This Day. MARIK LANh. The market to-day was fairly supplied with new Eng lish wheat, in generally speaking, good condition. The trade was quiet, and all qualities changed slowly at Mon day's decline in the quotations. There was a goodsupply of foreign wheat on the stands. The transactions were chiefly in retail, whilst the prices realised were about equal to those current at the close of Monday's market. Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request at about late rates. Barley, although in but moderate supply, commanded but little attention ; nevertheless, no change took place in the currencies. In malt very little business was passing, at about sta tionary prices. Large supplies of oats were on :sale. Five parcels were disposed of at full quotations; otherwise, the trade was dull on rather easier terms. Beans and peas met a slow sale at drooping prices. The flour trade was quiet at late rates.

The Danes were in very fair con - dition, and tit° "going" tolerable. The first race was appointed for two o'clock, at which time the course was lined with the fashionables of this watering place. Tho winner of the first race was never backed for a farthing, and the race proved an easy victory. The stable com panion, on the other hand, ,Was backed. T? Was wAG.4O.. ~.oval Tartan Great !way. MEErING TIIIS DAY. The ordinary half-yearly general meeting of this com pany was held to-day at the Railway Station, Paddington —Mc. C. A. Wood, deputy chairman, presiding. The report having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said that her Majesty had congratulated the country on a great event of national importance. Her Majesty had, with much taste, addressed the , President of the United States, the subject of that address having for its object the completion of the telegraphic connection of the Old and New World by telegraphic communication. (Hear, hear.) They had lent their chairman (Mr. Gooch) to the Great Easton Steam Company, which was the reason of his inability to attend the present meeting. Mr. Gooch had received so muss kindness and consideration from the directors generally that he came to the resolution of not going on the board of the company in question, but to de vote himself entirely to the interests of the Great Western. But it was considered that it was rendered necessary that he should superintend the vessel across the Atlantic, and the shareholders of the present company had consented to his accepting the important duty on board the great vessel. Very shortly before the sailing of the vessel the chairman of this company entered upon his duties. Ho had to state that indulgence of the share holders would, he trusted, be extended towards him (the deputy chairman), for there would be an increase in the expenditure and a decrease in the dividend. However, in accordance with the recommendation of their late chair man, Mr. Potter, they laid out a large sum in increasing the quantity of their railway stock in order to carry out their policy. It was indispensable they should carry out their policy of the extension of their stock as their increased expenditure was very largely increased. In July, 1865, £3,113,000 the company received on account of revenue, and there was an expenditure of £1,786,000 ; but in July, 1866, there was £3,619,000, and there was an expenditure of £2,176,000. It was necessary that them should be a large amount of heavy expenditure, in order to carry out the suggestions of Mr. Potter. He referred to the London and North-Western Railway, which he said was one of the best managed railway companies, and the chairman of that company, Mr. Moon, was most indefa tigable in promoting tho interest of that company. However, that company had expended lid. per mile, while the Great Western Railway had expended only id per mile, which contrasted more favourably with the London and North-Western Railway. Having adverted to the proceedings before Parliament during the past Ses sion, ho went in detail through -the different items in the report, and contended that the state of the company's affairs indicated a very favourable condition, notwith standing .that the dividend for the half-year did not at present exceed more than 2 per cent. per annum. Mr. POTTER seconded the motion , which, after some dis cussion, was agreed to. The meeting was then made special, for the purpose of sanctioning the transfer cf some short leases to the com pany, and for other purposes. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. Lord Aberco• n on the State of Ireland. Lord Abercorn was presented on Saturday with an ad dress from the Corporation of Dublin, in which various measures were urged for the improvement of Ireland. The following is a report of the main portion of his Excellency's reply :—" Tho absence of ordinary crime which was so generally noticed at the recent assizes is most gratifying and affords convincing proof of the steady improvement that is taking place among the people. I deeply regret the existence of the formidable conspiracy which in the early part of this year rendered necessary the passing of a bill for the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act. I rejoice, however, to think that indications exist that the treasonable movement which has inflicted such incal culable mischief upon Ireland is gradually declining. It has never received countenance or encourage ment from any of the influential classes of the country, and it is satisfactory to know that during the whole time the Fenian Society had been in existence, no man of rank, wealth, position, or public character, has been enrolled amongst its members. Denounced by the ministers of every religious creed, condemned by all men of patriotism and knowledge, supported almost entirely by funds contributed in foreign lands, it can only influence those who seek disturbance, riot, and plunder, or those whom ignorance and credulity enable designing and unscrupulous agents by misrepre sentation and falsehood to mislead and betray. That a movement so produced, and so supported, could exist for any length of time was impossible, and it will be a matter of groat satisfaction to me if, finding that treasonable prac tices are no longer attempted, I shall not bo compelled to exercise those extreme powers which Parliament has placed in the hands of the Government. The topics to which the greater part of your address refers belong to the province of legislation. They have been repeatedly discussed in Parlia ment, and much difference of opinion exists with regard to each and all of them. It will be the duty of myself and col- leagues fully to inform ourselves and carefully to deliberate upon those most important subjects, and when the proper time arrives to submit our views to the consideration of the Legislature. The course which the Imperial Parliament has taken with regard to Irish questions during the present generation, the numerous beneficial laws that it has passed, the generosity which in times of distress it has shown in providing for the wants of the Irish people, the ability and earnestness evinced by many of our representatives in regard to public affairs, the freedom with which political subjects _ _ are discussed, and the anxious desire expressed by men of all parties to do justice to this country, induce me to believe that measures proposed for the real benefit of Ireland will always receive from the Legislature respectful considera tion, and can scarcely fail to be adopted if supported by a preponderance of enlightened public opinion in this na tion at large. I can assure you that there exists amongst her Majesty's present advisers the most earnest desire to promote the welfare of Ireland, and they will consider themselves ;indeed fortunate if any measure that they find it possible to propose shall have the effect of securing to the tenant compensation for bona fide improvements with out infringing on the right of property, of encouraging manufacturing, railway, or commercial enterprise, of allay- ing or softening sectarian differences, and of more fully ex tending to all classes the inestimable blessings of education Trade with the Shans, Western Chinese : Laotians, &c. Referring to the notice in our issue of the 14th inst., of the renewed efforts being made by the principal commer cial chambers and associations of the kingdom to bring the Government to take the necessary measures to open up commerce with the above populous and productive por tions of interior " Asia beyond tho Ganges," by tramway from Rangoon, we stated that the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce had recently sent up to her Majesty's Minis ters their fourth, and the Liverpool East India and China Association their fifth, memorial, in earnest advo cacy of the peaceful project. We also then published, in extenso, the third memorial to Government on the same subject of the Huddersfield Chamber, and ex pressed the hope that such reiterated appeals from the commercial community of the country would receive that attention from the new Government which the late Ad ministration failed to extend to it. Witt much satisfaction, therefore, we now state that the Manchester Chamber has since forwarded to the Early of Derby, as the First Lord of the Treasury, a no less energetic appeal (its third also) in favour of this long-desired new Eastern trade; and that the Halifax Chamber has passed a resolution pressing the pro ject on the earnest consideration of Ministers. We hope that the other chambers throughout tho United Kingdom who addressed the late Government in 1860 and 1863 in favour of the scheme, as well as those which may not have yet shown an active interest in the matter, will follow the example thus again set by the chambers above named, and secure to themselves the future satisfaction of having done their part in assisting the ultimate realisation of what cannot fail to prove an enduring benefit to the manufacturers, merchants, and shipowners of the country generally. This—the pro posed new trade—must prove, both as regards the opening up of new fields, wherefrom to draw large supplies of various products in which the countries in question abound, and which are daily becoming more and more necessary to this country, including cotton, silk, dyes, gums, oils, wax, tea, gold, silver, lac., and in which to dispose largely, in ex change for such products, of British goods of various de scriptions—cotton and woollen goods in particular. Not any of these have yet found their way to the multitudinou s populations of the countries referred to, owing to theirtihne land positions, and to the fact that until we took from and King of Ava, in 1852, the maritime provinces of i n o o g route Martaban, on the east side of the Bay portion of was available to England by which her o n i f e j3 rc ° l lF i n a s t ' s , of India, could approach tho largo and P°Pnuew British pro- Asia situated to the north-east of those oject to Govern vinces. The renewed submission odfitebseapsi or those the chambers of ment notice by such influential btho e matter on the autho commerce now taking action 'received from India -if pro ritative information of rlactheanibers, cannot fail, we think, perly supported by to ensure a careful conside ration Parliamentth li whole e tgoatiin subject.mee Liverpool Cotton Market—'This Day, The market opens quiet.
