THOMAS HOOD'S GRAVE.—The publication is Eliza's Cook's Journal of "lines written at Kensall-green °Mall'," has induced numerous readers to express an earnest de sire to assist in raising a fund for the purpose of placing a memorial over the remains of "Poor Hood." Many a burst of merriment has echoed above " Hood's Comic Annual," from the lips of all classes. For many a year he cheered our Christmas firesides with racy humour, that never wearied by its frivolity nor effended by its coarseness. Far and wide was he known as the Poet of Mirth: but the higher development of his genius and the nobler purpose of his muse were shown in such glorious hymns as " The Song of the Shirt" and the " Bridge of Sighs." Those who have read either of these poems will acknow ledge that such a man deserves to have a mark upon his sleeping- Place, so that it may be found without the help of a grave-yard servant, and all who have laughed at his inimitable wit, or sighed over his human tenderness, are now earnestly solicited to spare what they can in aid of a purpose which is alike praiseworthy in the living and due to the dead. iFer the furthering of this design, the following gentlemen, mem bers of the Whitting`za Club, have formed themselves into a Com mittee : Mr. J. Balfour Mr. R. W. Roberts Mr. Campbell Clarke Mr. W. Strudwicke Mr. Edward Copping Mr. 11. Roscoe St. John Mr. J. I'assmore Edwards Mr. George Waller :!.7r. 11. C. Maguire 1 Mr. John Watkins, and Mr. C. S. Middl e t on 1 Mr. G. W. Yapp. At the request of these gentlemen, Miss Eliza Cook has consented to be Treasurer to the fund, and Mr. John Watkins to be Honorary Secretary. Subscriptions will be received by Mr. William Strudwicke, at the Whittington Club, Arundel-street, Strand ; at the office of Eliza Cook's Journal, 3, Itaquet-court, Fleet-street ; by Miss Eliza Cook, 54 + Great Ormonde-street, Bloomsbury ; and by Mr. John Watkins, 34, Parliament-street, Westminster.

The treatment wined is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated ,cools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. rLit: results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under egarrsonal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and ho t, studies to this important branch of medical science.

But he had one more point to mention, Mr. Barclay was directed, and very properly, not to confine his attention solely to the engineering part of the question, but also to take measures to form a judgment of the commercial part, the amount of traffic that might be expected, and he found that the traffic by the Tutghaul at the present moment amounted to no leas than 78,000 tons per annum, and by the Boorgheut, independent of passengers; of whom there was a great number, 32,000 tons. Now, taking the traffic at only these amounts, he had not had time to go into the calculation himself, but Mr. Nicholson had gone into it, and ho said that the Talghaut would produce a revenue of 7 per cent., and the Bhoorghaut 6 per cent. Mr. Chapman, he believed, estimated the total amount from both passes at 180,000 tons per annum brought into ' ono stream. The motion was then put and unanimously carried. A SHA.REHOLDRR asked if the guarantee extended to a line through any of the Ghauts? The CHAIRMAN replied that technically it applied only to the Mslsej; but he apprehended-if they were to make it through one of th e o th ers, i t wou ld b e b e l ow th e dig nity of the East India C ompany to ma k e any of that sort. A vote of thanks to th e c h a i rman an d di rec t ors , an d a special vote of th an k s t o M r. Nicholson, t h e secretar y, objection were then severally agreed to, which closed the business. DENIERA.RA RAILWAY COMPANY. Yesterday the ordinary general half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at the London Tavern, Sir J. R. Carmichael in the chair. The report and statement of amounts wore read by the Secretary. The following are the principal features : ' " In accordance with the resolutions passed In August last, That the railway be finished as expediously as possible, but that- no lease- -of the, undertaking be granted until the line is completed,' and That in the event of Mr. Manifold's, or any other, proposition to lease the line, being abandoned, the committee will recommend to an adjourned meeting of the proprietors a further con frtt bt railway t ianthyou an witht,h a t a o vene b a o lce a d erm.a s d an e dda,t Manifoldt o aenn t d h d e at nrh p ne r f otoufrdeeirrteeshnenet directors ocj a reo l :en! have fekv completion ie ' oa a nra l n l oc n efg e i vt g t hheodee rom line ts .

This ordinance for creating the preferenti a l s t oc k h as passed the Court of Policy, and will probably be sent home for her Ma jesty's approval by the next packet. On the second reading, the amount to be raised was, on the motion of a member of the court, increased to 50,0001., which will be more than su ffi cient to co m pl ete the railway to Mahaica,and meet all the liabilities of the company. Since the last meeting of shareholders ono of your directors and largest proprietors, Mr. W. Brand, has p rocee d ed to De merara on his private affairs ; he will, however, on his arrival in the colony,place himself in communication with Mr. Porter, and the board expect that much benefit will be derived from MaPorter being enabled to consult with a gentleman of Mr. Brand's local knowledge an d groat personal interest in the railway. The accounts lately received from Mr. Porter are of a much more satisfactory pr more annum. han The traffic receipts for the carriage of goods and nature, as in a letter, dated 24 th August, he states That, the line is in very much better order than it was ho also mentions that the goods traffic has very consider ablyt increased, and that when the line . open . to Mahaica the upwardsgros s receipts 7 0 11 0 be e 2 a ,nodoO ful l y/. p erm developed , eh, or pas sengers from January 1 to August 31 last, amounted to 7,688/, ; while the corresponding period of last year onty produced 6,648 1 . Before concluding this report, your directors must in justice to themselves draw your a ttention to the very general feelings of regret that have been expressed in the colony and elsewhere , at the share holders declining to lease the line to M r. Manifold. Not withstanding the discrepancies of statements on various ma tt ers connected with the railway which existed be tween Mr. Manifold and Mr. Porter, the la tter gentle. man has, in every letter received from h im, such a urged on your directors the advantages of completing desirable arrangement ;' and at the dat e of hi s last communication to the board, the 25th of September, having received the report of the proceedings of the pro ceedings of the special general meeting of shareholders, he expressos his regret that Mr. Manifold's proposal has been rejected ;' he concludes his letter by strongly urging' on the directors the expediency of leasing the line. The late deputy-chairman, Mr. Naghten, retires from the board.' The accounts show an expenditure of 13,059/, 4s. 4d., including cost of working the line, pur chase of land, carrying on new works, interest, and other charges, and receipts from traffic, amounting to 5,6321. 15s. 10d. The CHAIRMAN wished to offer one or two observa tions before moving the adoption of the report.. The r , .niyriatory pkr,Thnli ....walla/it that evieenetbey embarked in this undertaking in 1846, it was estimated ma& bee out lay required to make the line to Mabaica would be 250,0004 The actual expenditure, allowing a liberal amount for the completion of the line to Mahaica, and including every item of outlay, as interest to share holders, and all other charges, would be 275,4711., no very great increase on the original estimate. (Hear.) He might mention, with a view to afford some basis for esti mating the probable returns, that the population of Bri tish Guiana had increased since they embarked in this speculation 30 per cent., that the orops of last year of those estates along the line which were now using the railway (that was those estates for which the line was now carrying) amounted to 5,810 hhd s , and this year it was estimated they would amount to 6,750 hhds; and the estimated crops for the present year of the estates not now using the railwaY, but w hi c h there was every reason to believe would use i t t h e mome nt it could no commodete their traffic, amounted to 8,500 hhds. Taking the cost of the railway at the sum h e h a d stated, it would amount to 13,1171. per mile ; th e wee kly tra ffi c was 15/. per mile, which it was fair to calculate wouldibe doubled when the line was made through to Mahalea: and, taking ten of the principal English and Scotch lines, he found the average coat per mile had been 50,9841,, while the mean traffic was only 521. per mile. The resolution was carried unanimously, and a vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the business. RAILWAY RETURNS. ANGLO•CALIFORNIAN GOLD MINING COMPANY. The annual meeting of the shareholders in this com pany was held yesterday at the Freemason's Tavern, Geo. Edward Cottrell in the chair. The report of the directors, which had already been circulated among the shareholders, was then read. The CHAIRMAN, in rising to move that the report be received and adopted, observed that at the last meeting every resolution was passed unanimously, and expressed a hope that the same unanimity and good feel ing would prevail on the present occasion. The diffi culties against which they had to contend were numerous, but they had all been got over in a manner comparatively easy, owing to the directors and shareholders being on the very best terms. He had great pleasure in inform ing the meeting that a dispatch was received late on the present evening from California, containing intelli gence of the most gratifying nature. The principle parts of the dispatch were embodied in a brief supple mentary report just published, whioh stated:— "We have the pleasure to inform you that, last evening, while the board was sitting, we received a dispatch from Sir H. Huntley, relative to the Dioksburg property (dated the 15th of Sept.), announcing the gra tifying fact of the completion of the purchase. The fol lowing extract from the dispatch will be received with much satisfaction by the shareholders:—' The whole property was examined by Captain Davies, and the quartz of every lode tried. Each trial gave a satis factory result, and some of them were extremely rich.' There can be no doubt that the Anglo-Californian Company have now a location second to none in the country ; it is held under the best tenure existing, namely, property purchased from American citisens, who have recorded their possession of it according to the mining rules of the district ; and these rules are supported by legislative enactment, and are recognised by the courts of law throughout the state. Of the apparent richness of the lodes Mr. Davies has already given his report, and it is only necessary to say that his opinions are founded upon forty years' experience in the mines of three different nations." A SEIARELIOLDER—Is the Dicksburg property per- chased in fee? The CHAIRMAN replied in tho affirmative. The SHAREHOLDER—That is so far satisfactory. A SHAREHOLDER observed that the other lands in the possession of tho company had only been obtained for a period of five years. He wished to know if there was any right of renewal, as the company might be put to great expense in erecting buildings and machinery on the land ? The CLIAIRMLN said Sir H. Huntley had found that it was impossible to bind the American company for a longer period, but than was this advantage that at the _ . _ _. . end of the five years they were perfectly free, and could ... _ give up the mines if unsuccessful; while, if the contrary should happen, in all probability they would have an opportunity of either purchasing the land, or of renew ing the lease for a much longer term. (Hear.) Th 6 SIIA.REHOLDER said it appeared from the accounts received from California, that great hopes were enter tained that the local legislature would abolish the re striction limiting the duration of leases is t 4 •cir next session. The CHAIRMAN said, whatever that might be, he had no doubt that satisfactory terms would be made with the American company at the expiration of the term. On the whole, he thought the directors had to present to the shareholders a most satisfactory state of things, and not the least ground for congratulation was the feet that this company was established under the salutary provi sions of the Joint Stock Company's Act, which afforded a great protection to the shareholders. Some of the ad- vantages of being registered under that Act, it might be right to mention. The shares could be transferred with out the slightest difficulty, and no shareholder could be made responsible for the liabilities, except in company with all the others. Then the management of the whole affairs of the Society were virtually placed in the hands of the Shareholders, the Directors forming merely the executive to carry out their commands, and if they did not fulfil the requirements of the Act they would be subject to the pains and penalties of misdemeanour. Every transaction was carefully entered in the Company's books, :and if any of the shareholders entertained any doubt as:to the conduct of the Directory, all they had to di) .10 I. nrnetirtl reteatince anti b.,. oil 13.4 u 'books placed before them. These, he conceived, were very great advantages. There might he some who thought that unnecosaary delay had taken place in com mencing mining operations in California; but on that head he considered the details in the report were suffi cient to satisfy any reclaimable person. It sometimes happened, that most fallacious ideas wore entertained in regard to gold mining in California. It was supposed by many, that as soon as the machinery was landed, the yield of gold would commence. That was, however, a mistake. Many things had to be done before they could begin crushing rock. First, the land had to be selected, and ready money sent out for its purchase. Then a groat deal of legal matter had to be got through, which oc cupied as much time in California as in this country; and finally, the necessary buildings had to be erected for carrying on their operations. Ho had no doubt that at the time ho now spoke, everything was complete, and that in November, or as soon as the weather per mitted, the crushing of rock and the other proceedings would go on with the same rapidity as ' i n the mining districts of England. At the outset, they (the Directors) thought the delays that had taken plave would be preju dicial to the company; but a change had since come over their minds, for they were of opicion that if they had had commenced crushing quartz, instead of, in the first instance, looking about for a property which the com pany could call its own, they would now have been in a muoh less favourable position. (Hear.) The purchase of theDicksburg estate had 'been a most successful trans action. Comparisons were said to be odious; but, with out wishing to act invidiously, he could not refrain from drawing a comparison between this and two other mining companies in California—the Nouveaux Monde and the Carson's Crook Companies. He was quite satisfied that those companies would be most successful, though dif ferently constituted to the Anglo-Saxon Company; but while he said this, he was equally convinced that the latter company would be much more succesaiul. A SHAREHOLDER—For the reason that we have no American shareholders to divide the proceeds with us. The CHAIRMAN said the hon. proprietor was perfectly correct. Take, for example, the Carson's Creek Com pany. When they acquired any gold, 40 per cent. had to be given to the English, and 60 per cent. to the Ameri can shareholders. Now, by making an absolute pur chase of the Dieksburg property, the whole of the pro fits would go to the shareholders in this company. A SHAREHOLDER asked if the land was subject to any royalty? The CILAIRMAN.—Nono whatever. The Carson's Creek Company, and he believed with perfect truth, anticipated making 78,0001. a year by their mining operations; of that 38,0001. would go to the shareholders in England, and the remaining 40,0001. to the American shareholders. The calculations made by that company were based on the number of tons they could crush in the year, and the average yield of gold in each ton. The yield varied from 30oz to 2oz a ton. We oetimated that the Anglo-Saxon Company, after paying for the Dicks burg estate, would have nine-tenths of the profits left for division among the proprietors. The Nouveaux Monde Company, by the terms of their arrangement, would have to pay the American Company, from whom they hold their land, 30,0001 a year before they could declare any dividend. But this company was not fettered by such a partnership, and therefore, after paying the ex penses of working, the remainder, as ho before intimated, would be entirely their own. (Cheers.) lie attributed their good fortune in obtaining the Dicksburg property entirely to the zeal and activity of Sir H. Huntley, to his undoubted high character, and to his long experience in California. (Cheers.) It be (the Chairman) were not wholly misinformed, iu less than two years, the property would be worth at least 50,000/, which sum they would have no difficulty in getting s h ou ld they be disposed t o sell the land. (Cheers.) lie concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. ASHTON seconded the motion. Mr. RICHARD BARKER, of Whitehaven, congratuleted the shareholders upon the satisfactory nature of the report. For twenty years he had been more or loss en gaged upon mining speculations in Cumberland, a n d h e could, therefore, speak from experience upon many points connected with this company. He was rejoiced eo hear that the machinery was rapidly approaching com pletion, for that circumstance would enable them to crash for others as well as themselves. He came now? to t h e question of royalty. Ile was glad to hear that the tenure of their mines was fixed and certain, and he had but little doubt that with honest and energetic eeenagers, the property would ultimately prove highly, remunerative. According to the best calculations, the yi e ld of ge ld i n quartz varied from aid. to 3s. ld., but 'no would take the lowest figure, and, allowing 50 tons a day by the ma chinery, with 200 working days in the year, they would get an annual return of 320,0001. That might appear to be a large suns; but, according to the best authorities. Californian quartz yields from four to 25 pounds of gold in a ton, and if they took the. lowest of these figures as the basis of their calculations, the profit would be equa to 40,000/. a year. Thera could be no question, however, that the gold improved as the mines got deeper into the earth ; in fact it extended even to veins—and, from let ters which he had received from California, he was con vinced the return of profit would be much greater than he had just estimated. (Cheers.) He, therefore, con gratulated the shareholders upon the stato of their pros- peas, and thasked the directors moat heartily for the clear and impartial report which they had issued to the proprietors. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said he should be happy to answtr any questions before he put the rosolution. Mr. JENNINGS was rejoiced to that the exertions of Sir IL Huntley had been so successful. Too much cau tion, however, could not be used in their early opera tions, and he should be glad to know if it was intended to use all the machines at once. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN said they certainly were in possession of most valuable machinery. They had ono engine of 50 horse power, fitted up with &tampers and crushing mills. The rollers of this engine would crush 10 tons an hour. Mr. JENNINGS said he did not want any details. He repeated that he was glad they had the machinery, be cause it would enable them to crush the dirt found in the gold rivers, without running any risk r. hatever. He hoped, however, that the Carolina mine, which could not be worked at present, or alone, with great advantago, would not bo sacrificed. The CHAIRMAN said certainly not. The company had three engines, and three sets of crushing mills. The Dicksburg milt was worked with water power, and they were therefore in possession of more machinery than they actually wanted, Under these circumstances, Sir H. Huntley had determined to keep the Carolina mine in operation, so that the machinery might be constantly in use. (Hear, hear.) Mr. PARKER asked what vas the relative position of these two mines? The CEJLiamiN said the Caroliva mine was about 20 miles from Dicksburg, and two were about equi-distant from the point where the steam power ceased. A PROPRIETOR-Whitt is the distance from the Sacri mento? The CHAIRMAN said it was about 60 miles, but there was a good road, and no diffieulty would be boated in getting the machinery there. After the CHAIRMAN had given some explanation re lative to the balance. sheet, of a technical nature, A PROPRIETOR remarked that, although Sir 11. Hunt ley had the opportunity of making other advantageous purchases, he considered that the directors had adopted a wise course in not extending their operations too much, however tempting the opportunities of acquiring fresh property might be. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN remarked that six months could not elapse without solving the question whether the mining could be carried on successfully or not, and then would be the time for the directors to consider tho propriety of extending their operations. (Cheers.) A PROPRIETOR wished to know what was the state of the share capital. The CHAIRMAN said that 78,000 shares were regis tered; but that a deposit of 10s. a share had been paid back upon 10,000 shares. A SHAREHOLDER—Have you any intention of issuing farther shares? The CHAIRMAN hoped not. The Directors were the largest shareholders in the company, and of course it was their interest not to increase the proprietary; and, if close driven for money, it was satisfactory that they had the power of increasing their capital by borrowing. But it would not be right to ask the directors to pledge themselves to any positive course in this respect. (Hear, hear.) All he said to-day was that if new shares had to be issued they would not be thrown on the market—the present proprietary should have the first offer. (Hear, hoar.) A - PROPRIETOR wished to know how the company stood in reference to the legal proceedings which cer tain allottees had instituted against the Directors? The CHAIRMAN stated they considered that they had, in effect, succeeded in the actions brought against them, and he had no apprehensions for the future. At all events the expencos on this head had been nearly brought to a close, and in a short time ho hoped the company would be entirely free from litigation. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MAsSEY DAWSON (a Director) explained the origin and nature of actions brought against the com pany. They were merely speculative actions, the attor ney taking the chance of the costs; and this at least was certain—though he could not say other actions might not be brought—that they would see no more speculative actions. Tho CLIAIRMAN took the opportunity of that discussion to conttadiet the assertion which had been made, that certain shares had been forfeited by a trick of the di rectors, in not giving the shareholders sufficient time to register. Six clear months was given to every shareholder to sign the deed, and the directors did all they could to induce these allottees to sign in the first instance. They refused however to do so, until more than six months had expired, and the shares had reached a premium, when they became particularly anxious tr., be allowed to join the concern, but the Direc tors thought it only just to those who had signed the deed ; in due course, not to admit them. (Hear, hear.) The adoption of the report wa s then p u t from the I Chair, and carried unanimously. 1,1,. - 13_ , J , ll, one cf tho retiring Dirooters. inti mated that it was not his intention to offer himself for ro-election. Re lived in Cornwall, a great distance from town, and his attendance at the Board would in future be a source of great inconvenience to him. Besides, the services he could render the Company would not be com mensurate with the sacrifices he would have to make on his own account ; and as he had full confidence in the prudence of the rest of the Board, he was desirous of being relieved from the office he had hitherto filled. The Company was going on swiraingly, and could easily spare him; indeed, he might say that their net was now fully spied upon the waters, and all the Directors would have to do in future would be to draw it in from time to time, and take the luck which Providence might vouch ed° them. (Cheers.) Nothing could be more gratify ing than the present position of the Company. They were in possession 01 machinery equal to any to be found in Cornwall, and capable of crushing a hundred tons a day, while in addition to that, they held a pro perty in fee, respected by all the recognized laws of the country, not even excepting that of Mr. Justice Lynch (a laugh), which they had obtained at a mere nominal price ; and he was thoroughly con vinced that in a very short time the venture in which they were all embarked would prove a most complete success. (Cheers.) With these observations he begged leave to move the re-election of the retiring directors, viz., Dr. Barker, Mr. Hinoks, Mr. Parker, and Mr. Felder. (lieu, hear.) Mr. LEWIS seconded the resolution. A SHAREHOLDER said he believed their friend, Mr. G. Dawson, had not stated the real cause of his resig nation. The fact was, Mr. Dawson had recently dis patched his son to California, and he had received such glowing accounts from him of the extent of gold to be found there, that he had determined to send out another son, with a quantity of machinery, to speculate en his own private account. (Hear, hear.) This, of course, would take up some of his time, and he could not well attend to their interest and his own too. (Hear, hear.) Mr. G. DAWSON said he had hims e lf correctly stated the reason of his resignation, and the hon. shareholder was somewhat out of order in making the statement they had just heard, though he readily admitted that the statement was not altogether devoid of truth. At tho instance of Mr. Richard Barker, a discussion arose upon the propriety of reducing the number of di rectors from ten to seven ; but the chairman gave de tailed reasons why the larger number was required, and the sense of the meeting being against the suggestion, it was not pressed. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. It was then proposed and seconded that Mr. M'Leod of Dover, and Mr. Ommaney of Charing Cross, be elected directors in the room of Sir C. Rumbold, and Mr. George Dawson. Mr. G. BARKER moved an amendment to the effect, that the sum awarded for the expenses be reduced from 1,9.00/. to 8001.; but on a show of hands the proposal was lost. Mr. Barker stated as his reason for urging this that until a dividend was declared, the most rigid econo my ought to be practised. The amendment was univer sallyrejected, and the above gentlemen wore then elected to the Board. Mr. Charles Spooner of Leamington, and Mr. C. P. Cottrell were elected auditors. Dr. BARTLETT proposed, and Dr. BARKER seconded a cordial vote of thanks to Sir H. Huntley and the other officers of the company in California, which was carried with acclamation. A vote of confidence in the chairman and directors was passed with the same unanimity; and thanks having been voted to the secretary, the meeting which was largely attended, then separated. THE Cor.oms.—Advices have been received from Mauritius to the 1001 of September. The general screw steamer Harbinger had arrived with the mails from England to the I.4th of July and 30,0001. in specie Document bills bad been negotiated at 4 per cent. dis count, and, proviou.sly to the receipt of specie from London and India, it was fully expected that even for the present muil rates would have further declined.

Atmore have little more to do than to place, once for all, beibre the public, in a brief form, the accredited results of the late investigations and recorded experience of those in ,i,,nitable authorities. , Meas..s. '4, 0 s Pale or unquestionably vouched to be " a very agreeable and efficient tonic, as a general beverage both for the invalid and the robust; and as tending, from the pure and wholesome nature of the ingredients em ployed, the moderate proportion of alcohol present, and the very considerable quantity of aromatic anodyne bitter derived from hops alone, which they contain, to preserve the tone and vigour of tho stomach, and to conduce to the restoration of that organ when in a state of weakness, debility, or irritibility." In all cases in which Malt Liquors are suitable, none meet the de sired effect more certainly, none are prescribed with more confidence by the Faculty. " The careful manner in which the fermentation is conducted, causes them to assimilate to Foreign Wines more than the ordinary ales of this country ; and on this account they do not occasion that acidity of stomach created by the less perfectly fer mented ales." " These Bitter Beers differ from all other prepara tions of malt, in containing a smaller amount of extractive matter, thus being less viscid and saccharine, and consequently more easy of digestion. They resemble, indeed, from their lightness, a Wine of Malt rather than an ordinary fermented infusion ; and it is very sa tisfactory to find that a beverage of such general consumption is en tirely free from every kind of impurity." ' Fortified by such opinions, expressed in the above terms, verbatim, by the most eminent authorities, Messrs. ALLSOPP & SONS do not feel themselves called open to go into any further vindication of their justly popular beverage, from the aspersions of malicious and inte rested parties; but eantent themselves by announcing that they have commenced supplies frmn the Brewing of this Season.

Mr. John Jones, the prosecutor, deposed as follows: I _ _ am a watchmaker and jeweller, living at 308, Strand. Oa the night of October 9, a large quantity of stock, con sisting of gold and silver watches and jeweller; ,was stolen from my premises. I offered a considerable reward for the property. Yesterday evening (Thursday) a man named Ashley called at my shop. I had a partial remembrance of him, from his having applied to me for work on a fer nier occasion; but 1 had no other knowledge of the man. He showed me four silver watch-eases, without either the movements or glasses belonging to them. They strongly resembled a portion of the stolen property, and I consequently took them to one o f my wor k men. From information given to me by Ashley respecting the watch cases, I was induced to confer with Mr. Pearce, the superintendent of police, whom 1 afterwards accom panied to the house of the prisoner Casticborg, at 23, Newcastle-street, Whitechapel-road. We found Cas tleberg there. Mr. Pearce produced the four silver watch cases, and showed them to him separately, at the sumo time asking if he had ever seen either of them before. He said, " No." Pearce then asked him if ho know add ing, " watch "that a done little job s f or him." Pearce asked him if ho had ever given the fou r silvern a an h Ashley cases named to Ashley, or either of them? The Asli c le cyas? ion He al ly replied had o prisoner replied " No." Then Pearce said to him, " I am a police officer, and I c harge you with having stolen i w mat property in your possession," subsequently announcing his intention to search the house. The prisoner then asked who I war, and who the other parties were (my workman and two police-constables) who accompanied us? Pearce told him that I was M r . J ones , upon which he exclaimed, " Oh, Mr. Jones, I am a watchmaker; the slum as you are." Pearce began s ear chin g about the shop, and presently opened a d ra w er ,_ in which we Aaw the inside works (or movements), a nd th e g l as s, be longing to each of the watch cases. I t o ok u p the movements, one after the other, and fitted them into the oases which I had received from Ashley. I can swear that the works found in the prisoner's drawer belonged to those cases. The Attorney for the prosecution Can you also swear that they ere part of your property? Mr. Jones—That requires some explanation. In their present state I cannot swear positively to the movements. Upon my examining them minutely, the prisoner Castle berg said, " I am only a workman, Mr. Jones, and those watches wore brought to me in pieces, ready gilt and engraved, for me to pat together and get the cases polished. " I asked him, " Who gave them to you?" He said he did net know the name of the man, but that ho would be calling at his (Castleberg's) shop the next morning at 10 o'clock, so that if we watched for him we might take him. I said to him, " Tell the truth, like a man," or words to that effect, " for you must know who brought them to you." The prisonee then said, "The man's name is Hart," I inquired if it was Levy or Aaron Hart, and I understood him to reply that it was Robin Hart. I asked him where Hart lived, and he said that he did not know, but could take me to the place. The officers present agreed to accompany him to Hart's resi dence, and I remained in Castleberg's shop with his workman, a Polish Jew, who could not speak English. Mr. Jardine—Will ,you explain the alteration which you say has been made in the works since they were in your possession? Mr. Jones—The movements have been tiled down much thinner, and the names and numbers erased from throe of them, and the plates re-coloured. I can tell this from my knowledge and experience as a watch maker. With respect to the fourth watch, the plate :s also much reduced in thickness, owing to the erasure of the original maker's name. Another name is now en graved upon the plate, and the number of the watch has been altered. A figure 7 has been prefixed to the ori ginal number, and the figure 1 has been altered into the figure 4. On looking at the watch with my eye-glass I am prepared to say that the original number on the plate was 1,610. It now appears to be 71,640. If you look with the eye -glass at the fig ure w hi c h h as b een made into 4 you will see that the up stroke of a figure 1 still remains. (The magistrate examined the watch, and appeared to concur in this opinion.) On reference to my stock book I am enabled to say;that a silver watch, No. 1,610, was among the property stolen, and I believe that the watch now produced is the same. Indepen dently of the obvious alteration of the figures, and of the self-evident fact that the figure 7, prefixed to the original number, is engraved deeper than the old figures, I am confirmed in this impression by the character of the watch, which resembles the one that was stolen. Cross-examined, by an attorney who attended for Castleberg—My stock-book is here, and I find, ea re ference to it, that the watch in question (No. 1,610) was taken into stock in September last—the maker's name being Betty and Co. I cannot refer to cuy entry respect ing tnc eraser watches, because the names and nawbors upon them have been altered. For the same reason, I am unable to swear that they were in my possession on the day previous to the 9th instant, when the robbery took place; but I may mention tho fact that the cases are made by my case-makers and the springs by my spring-makers. The name of "Setty and Co." has been obliterated from the fourth watch, and none other sub stituted. Any watch-maker could tell that the name plate had been thinned by the operation. Mr. Jardine—Would not 71,640 be a monstrous num ber to be upon a watch—it it indicates the number of watches made by the manufacturer ? Mr. Jones—The number is a large one, no doubt, but sometimes numbers are put on capriciou s l y. Mr. Jardine—Oh, that's another matter. Superintendent Pearce, of the F division, after con firming the evidence of the prosecutor, said—When the prisoner Castleberg was asked where he obtained the four watches, he replied, " The person who gave them to me told me not to say where I obtained them from, if any inquiry should be made." By the direction of Castleberg, I accompanied Pocock and another officer to Hart's house, 4, Hann's-place, Whitechapel. We waited for him some time. He returned home at about half-past 12 o'clock at night. I told him I was au officer, and asked him if he knew Castleberg. He bai I, " yea." I asked him if he ever worked for Castloberg. Ho replied " I have occasionally done a job for him." I asked him if he had any of his watches with him at that time, and he said, "No ; I have none in hand." Wo went up stairs, and Pocock pulled out a box from under his bed. It contained a quantity of articles iu pearl, electro-Plato, &c., but nothing which Mr. Jones could identify as belonging to him. Hart said ho was a tailor. This morning (Friday) I was standing in the yard at the back of the police-station when Hart came out ,of his cell. The other prisoner (Castleberg) ehex claimed, on seeing him, " That's the man I bad the watches of." William Gallington, journeyman worked for I live at Henry-street, Limehouae, and have wa t c hmaker, said— have beenin the habit Mr. Jones about eight years — an d five years of the timo on the premises, 3 08 , Strand. I I know the watches produced of repairing watches. very well, and can identify throe of them positively. I e ks age in a the possession of Mr. t() the other watch Jones, and saw theta fo l a a r m or to fi l v e e weeks certain also. The movements were given to me originally to take to pieces and to repair, and new eases were to be made for them. Finally, I delivered them into the hands of Mr. Jones's sister. (The witr t ese described the altera tions and erasures upon the name-plate, as already deposed to by the prosecutor.) Cross-examined—l would not swear that it was not rather more than five or six vvooks ago; It might have been two months ego since I saw them last. No doubt " &My and Co." have made and sold a good many watches, but I remembered the watch in question more particularly, because I had never met with the maker's name before. All Mr. Jones'e watches do not puss through my hands; but this sort generally doer.

Yesterday the sixth half-yearly general meeting of proprietors of this railway was h o ld a t th e i r o ffi ces , - - Now Broad-street; Lord WHARNCLIFFE, the chairman of the directors, in the chair. The report, which has already appeared, having been read, The CHAIRXAN, in moving that the report be adopted, expressed his satisfaction at once morn finding himself presiding at their meetings. He would call their atten tion to the statement of the accounts. They would find hat they had up to the time at which the accounts were made up a sum of 485,1851. capital paid into the East tdomeanv's treasury, and for which they were re ceiving interest, anu bum °Mance herefore at that time left botween the actual stun paid in and the total amount of capital, which was 500,0001. That small difference, however, arose entirely from tho absence of specific reports of the last payments in India which had been received, he believed, at a subsequent date. Ho might therefore now announce to them, as mentioned in the report, that tho entire capital:of 500,0001. required for the execution of the first portion of the line had been paid into the East India Company's trea sury, and was now available for their purposes, and this company was now receiving the interest which had been guaranteed upon it. But he thought there were more satisfactory features in these accounts than oven that which he had particularized. They would observe that up to the time the accounts wore made out, the expenses amounted to only 193,521/., leaving no loss than 291,0001. in hand for the prosecution of the works of the company. Ile thought that might be taken as a very favourable state of affairs, considering how long they had been engaged in their undertaking. But even this was not as satisfactory as the statement which ho had yet to make to them, for it was now satisfactorily ascer tained that although 500,000/. was the capital required originally for the completion of this lino, the contracts proved that they would be able, without any doubt, not merely to construct the line, but to provide the neces sary plant for working it for a sum loss by one-fifth below the capital. lie believed Mr. Nicholson (the secretary) would confirm him when he stated that they had now a certain prospect, arising from the actual com pletion of contracts and a perfect knowledge of the ex penses to which they should bo put, that they should put the railway in a working state for 400,0001., leaving 100,0001. of their capital applicable for any other pur pose, though this included a branch and a double line, which ho believed was four or five miles in length, which was of course an additional expense. He would now proceed to the other main feature of the report and of their undertaking iu general, namely, the great question as to the prolongation of the line, because although they were all aware that they were greatly interested in the limited portion on which they were now employed, which was in tho first instance to solve the great pro• blom as to the introduction of railway enterprise into the Indian territories ; nevertheless the undertaking would be a very incomplete and insufficient one if they could not look with some confidence to its extension to other districts. In the first place, then, they had not only the prospect of having the line opened soon within the island of Bombay, but the additional contracts to carry it on had been actually made and the work con- 1 siderably advanced. He had, moreover, to state that he believed there was little doubt, from the information received from the engineer, that the portion up to Canna would be actually open and in operation—that was to say, in the main island, iu February next. With regard to the Malsejghaut, Mr. Barclay satisfied himself that it was liable to very serious objections. First of all it would be very expensive. There would be four or five miles of tunnelling, and gradients of 1 in 40 for, he believed, 13 miles, and, in consequence, Mr. Barclay stated that the works could not bo executed under 10 years, and the total expense would be alarm ing. Mr. Barclay then proceeded to examine the others, and he found that of the three passes the most favour able was the Tulghaut, and it was also the most favour chic in a commercial point of view, as it would bring them into the heart of the country. lie found that the gradients and the nature of the work were unexpectedly favourable. Ho ascertained that the line could be made with no more tunnelling than about 900 yards, and that the worst gradient in the whole line was 1 in 37 for only six miles and a half. Now, when it was recollected that in this country they run trains daily on the Bristol and Birmingham line on an incline of precisely that gradient, though not for such a distance, it appeared to him that that was no insuperable obstacle. The other gradients were more easy. Then there wore very few viaducts of any consequence, only 176 yards, and the result of his calculations were, founding them upon con tracts already entered into, and upon the experience ho had gained during his residence in India as superinten dent of the company's works, that this line might be made for a sum not exceeding 10,0001. a mi1e.10 7 411, then, he said, if they were able to surmount this chain of mountains, and attain a summit level of not loss than , 2,000 f e et, to execute these wor k s w i t h gra di ents o f no t pmornonseo f than to 1 oiono. a 3 1 7fo m r il s e o , tsbheoyrta sh ould distance, accomplish and a a tan w work which had no parallel, ho believed, in any other part of the world.
