ATTACK ON A SHERIFF'S OFFICER AT TILE ALHAMBRA.— Albert Griffith and Alfred Stone, two waiters at the Al hambra, were brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a warrant by Paice, 72 0, one of the warrant officers, charged with assaulting Henry Nathan, an officer of the Sheriff of Mid dlesex, he, the said Henry Nathan, being then and there in the lawful execution of his duty as such officer. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prosecution, and Mr. Lawrence for the de fence. Mr. Lewis said the complainant, an officer of the Sheriff of Middlesex, now intrusted with a writ of ca sa to execute at the Alhambra Palace, and having executed it, the defend ant amongst others, attempted, and eventually succeeded, in rescuing the person, and the complainant was grossly ill treated by the defendant and others. Ho should simply show to-day that the defendants wore two of the persons engaged in the assault, and then ask for a remand. The Complainant said he was bailiff of the Sheriff of Middlesex. On Tuesday evening last ho went to the Alhambra for the purpose of making a caption inpursuance of a writ given by the sheriff: He made his caption, and eventually the person was rescued—several persons taking part in the rescue, 20 or 30 in all—and ho was assaulted. The defendant was amongst the persons. Ho was seized, and struck with clenched fists. Mr. Lawrence said as there Was to be a remand he would reserve his cross-examination, but he was informed that the defendants were not even in the room at the time. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the complainant said he explained to the person that he had a warrant. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the defendants, taking bail for their future appearance. THAMES. SwimErta, ROBBERY.—Mary Graydon, aged 30, and Elizabeth Stewart, 26, of 40, Devonshire-street, St. George's-in-the-East, were brought before Mr. Partridge charged with being concerned with another woman not in custody in stealing a purse containing £l7 lfis. from the person of Robert Gill, mate of a ship, and residing at No. 12, Norfolk-place, Stoke Newington. On Friday, the 3rd of the present month, the prosecutor met the prisoners in the Minories, and they induced him to ' accompany them to an infamous place, No. 17, Devonshire-street, where they managed to hocuss him with some narcotic drug, infused in his liquor, and robbed him of his purse, containing £l7 10s. in gold and some silver. When ho recovered his senses and missed his purse from his coatpocket, Stewart was alone in the room, and ho said, referring to Graydon, that girl has got my purse. She said "No, it can't be," and pretended to look about the room for it. He went out to look for a police constable, and, on his return, Stewart was gone. There was a girl in the room lighting the fire before the seaman was hocussed and robbed, and she was also missing. The prisoners were subsequently taken into custody. On the way to the station-house Graydon dropped a handkerchief. It was picked up by a man named Gattiff. It contained four sovereigns. The pri soners had be en s p en di ng a goo d d ea l o f money, and making expensive purchases in the interim between the prosecutor missing his purse and contents and the appre hension of the prisoners. Mr. Partridge conunitted the prisoners for trial. THE LATE GOVERNOR OF JAMAICA.—WO are re quested to state that Mr. Eyre's present address is Bolton row, Mayfair, London.

The ordinary half-yearly meeting of this company was held to-day at the Euston-station Terminus ; Mr. Richard Moon, the chairman, presiding. The report and statement, which have been pub lished, were taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving their adoption, said that he trusted, on the whole, the shareholders would be satisfied with the result as developed in the report. It must be remembered that the rail way interest had to contend with very adverse cir cumstances during the past half year in respect to the depressed state of the money market and in crease of wages, and, what affected this company specially, the state of the iron trade. Their traffic had increased, and the expenses had also consider ably increased, even to the extent of lid. per mile per train. That increase had taken place notwith standing that every effort on the part of the ma nagement had been made to keep it down consis tently with the efficiency of the working of the company's line. There was nothing peculiar in the increase of the expenses of this company, for it was common to all the railways throughout the United Kingdom. The results of the past half-year enabled the directors to declare a dividend of 6 per cent. per annum for the past half-year. £15,000 has been carried to the reserve fund for the past half-year, while on the preceding half-year the amount had been deducted from that . fund. He then proceeded to contrast the financial position of the company with other corres ponding periods, and drew a favourable inference as to the progressive prosperity of the company. (Hear, hear.) The increase in the expenses to which he alluded were general, and as regarded the perma nent way £40,000 had been expended during the last five years on that item of their outlay. Out of 60 miles, the rails of which had been constructed of steel, the cost of 28 miles necessarily came out of the revenue account. They had also to contend with an expense of £15,000 arising from the rate on the importation of cattle in consequence of the cattle disease, which was a new charge on their funds. The motion was seconded. Mr. MORGAN, a shareholder, complained of the practice which had been adopted by successive directors of keeping up the dividend at a fixed rate, instead of allowing it to be regulated by the profits on the income derived from the profits of the half year, which would be the most straightforward course, and which would enable the shareholders to know the real value of their stock. He expressed his approval of the course adopted in Parliament by Lord Redesdale in attempting to oppose a check to the joint-stock companies applying to Parliament for sanction when they had not the probability of bring ing their schemes to a successful issue. He ex pressed himself satisfied with the statement of the chairman and the report submitted to the meeting. The CHAIRMAN said that the accounts of the company were kept in the most satisfactory manner, and, with reference to the £15,000 taken from the reserve fund last year, it was rendered necessary for a special purpose. A larger amount of receipts from the English and Scotch traffic had been rea lised than was originally expected. He stated (in reply to another shareholder) that it was necessary for the efficient working of the company to keep a large stock of stores always on hand, but the ex pense arising from that item had been kept as low as possible. The motion was then agreed to. On the motion for the payment of a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, Mr. FIELDING strongly objected to the share holders, who were Dissenters, being called on to contribute to the building of a Church of England chapel at Crewe. The CHAIRMAN deprecated anything like a re ligious element being imported into the proceedings. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The management considered that they were justified in having a place of worship at Crewe, and as the members of the Church of England formed the majority of the country, they thought it only right that the chapel should be for the members of that denomination. The motion was agreed to without further dis- The meeting was then made special for the pur pose of creating new capital, the amount of £447,910 in pursuance of the London and North Western Railway (New Works and Additional Powers) Act, 1865, for the construction of diffe rent branch railways, and other works connected with the company. Rssolations sanctioning the proposed creation of capital and other objects were agreed to. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the Chairman and Board of Directors. LORD DERBY, who has been in office barely six weeks (says Public Opinion), has had the nomimations to four judgeships, a bishopric, two garters, and two lord lieutenancies, while ho has created six peers, three baronets, and a dozen privy councillors. THE EPISCOPAL PALACE AT MAYFIELD.—The Palace at Mayfield, which has been visited by the members of the British Archaeological Association, has been restored by Mr. Pugin within the last few years at a cost of £4,000. Tho " mitre formed of roses," which Sussex people have so thoroughly believed in, is stated by Mr. Pugin to be " simply the panel at the back of what was the principal seat in the hall, and which is diapered with floriated patents." • • NEW COMEDY.—A new comedy, which in literary merit is far above the average of new pieces, was produced with great success at the Prince of Wales Theatre, Liver pool, by Miss Marie Wilton's London company, last night. The comedy is from the pen of Mr. T. W. Robertson, the author of "Society" and " David Garrick," and is a con firmation of the high anticipations formed some time ago of that gentleman's dramatic abilities. LAVENDER WATER.—The lavender crop of this season is unusually fine. At Hitchin, in Hertfordshire, on the well-known lavender farm of Mr. Perks, the plants aro of unusual size and fragrance. Such fine heads have not been seen in England for many years, and the weather has permitted the flowers to be collected fresh and with their bloom upon them, the conditions on which the goodness of the lavender water of any season depends. MURDER IN BIRMINGHAM. —A shocking murder was perpetrated in Hurst-street, Birmingham, yes terday morning, by William Smith, one of the scene shif ters at Day's Concert-hall. The deceased Elizabeth Smith resided with her husband, and thay had for a lodger a young woman named Catherine Bradworth, fog signal maker. There appears to have been some misunderstand ing between deceased and her husband for some time past, and on the latter returning home on Wednesday evening about 12 o'clock some words ensued, which resulted in a quarrel, when the husband took out a knife, and attacking his wife furiously, attempted to strike her. She escaped from him out of the house, but he overtook her in the yard, and cut her throat in a frightful manner. Catherine Bradworth, who witnessed the commencement of the quarrel, followed them out to interpose between the wife and husband, and in the encounter received a severe gash across the left eye. An alarm was raised, and Inspector Spear, with one err two officers, were promptly on the spot. Bradworth was taken to the Queen's Hospital by a man who was passing at the time, and her wounds were promptly attended to by the house surgeons. While the medical officers were attending to her, the body of the murdered woman was taken to the Queen's Hospital by a policeman. The murderer was taken into custody. At the station he said ho had no knowledge of the trausaeitiey on. A purse, amongst other things, was found on the boc f the deceased, but it was so filled with blood that n it uta was scarcely possible to decipher the tickets it Bradworth lies at the hospital in a very dativg:nrcotuas,siunaltre: The accused assigned as the cause of the s o ref arising by ome cases of out of his wife's unfaithful t n b e a s The Secolo I:A.11E11m annonn.enetsary. pital of that cholera have occurred in the nu city. 1 state t h a t cholera has ap- Letters from NaP-es p eare d with considerable sever ity in that city, as man y as 50 death s a day b e i n g reported.
