Full ti ear than the lines and their present position are reu at length in the statement annexed, which, with the ''' 3 . u leziou. - show the routes of these lines and those in ..0 e • onsidering this Stock as an investment, the principal Cults for consideration are, first, the amount of Stock to t7,,.7,„ di vidend upon ; secondly, the probable receipts ; re ru3 7 , the mi n i mum di v id en d per cent. to yield a fair pon the price of issue.

This multiplied by the mile e.ie of the Metropolitan Extension Lines of the London, 4.nathara, and Dover Railway Company would give a re deducted of £489,944 per . annum. From this sum must be estimate. 40 per cent. for working charges, which is a liberal '!claie. The net results from passengers only may be estimated therefore at £293,966 per annum. z , The large goods traffic, which these lines will enjoy alike Irona the admirable position and number of the stations as from the arrangements made for working the traffic, will certainly augment the receipts by at least £40,000 net per annum ; which, in that case, after paying interest on de bentures on the B and C Stocks, would yield a dividend of 5 per cent. on the whole of the £2,425,000 A Stock (in cluding the present issue), which, at the price it is now Offered at, would be equal to 10 per cent, per annum. The price at which the A Stock is now offered must be , c onsidered most advantageous to the investor if only one nail of this result isattained; when, however, the increased ILeceipts would permit a dividend of 5 per cent., the Stock 'last certainly rise to par, which would practically be a Profit of upwards of 47 per cent. above the price of issue. fi I t is considered that results approaching the above pres will be reached in less than two years, and that a w . k e VY increase may b e f ur th er l oo k e d f or f ro m that time. t oti a .„ c gements have therefore been made with Sir S.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE MARYLEBONE. Last evening an adjourned meeting of electors connected with the Liberal party was held at the Apollo Tavern, Tottenham-court-road ; Mr. J. R. Collins, of Haverstock-hill, was again called to the chair. The chairman explained that the meeting had been adjourned on the previous occasion because they were in a state of uncertainty with regard to Lord Fermoy offering himself for re-election, but which had now been set at rest by his lordship having issued an address declaring his intention of again doing so. They were, therefore, now in a different position, and it would belor them to say what their opinions were. Mr. Freeth said it was his intention 'to propose a'resolution which was to the same effect as that they had carried on the last occasion in favour of Mr. Harvey Lewis. He moved, " That the meeting pledges itself to support Lord Fermoy at the next election for the borough." Mr. Crane seconded the resolution. After a long discussion in which Messrs.

This important metropolitan railway will connect the Dublin and Kingstown Railway at Sandymount with the terminus of the Great Southern and Western Railway near the Phcenix Park. It will join a system of tramways in connection with the docks on the south side of the River Liffey, and the har- bour and shipping at the North Wall, and will connect itself with the line from Dublin to Drogheda and Belfast, and also with the Midland Great Western Railway. The proposed line will be seven miles in length: It will form a direct communication between the Midland and Great Western and Dublin and Kingston Railway ,• and it will in like manner directly connect the Great Southern and Western with the Dublin and Droheda Railway, and will become the main route for all the traffic between the Northern and Southern parts of Ireland. It will thus not only be a suburban omnibus line for the city of Dublin, but it will occupy the remarkable and unrivalled position that the whole of the interchange traffic between the great trunk lines converging in Dublin (viz., the Dublin and Drogheda and Northern lines, the Midland Great Western, and Dublin and Meath Railways, and the Great Southern and Western Railway), together with the through traffic on these lines to and from England, and their traffic in goods and minerals with docks and harbour, will, of necessity, pass over the whole or some part of it. By the formation of this line the mail service between England and Ireland will be considerably accelerated, and passengers willl be enabled to travel to and from the port of Kingston and any part of the Irish railway system with out changing carriages. It is proposed to have a station at the New Cattle-market in Dublin, and thereby to develope the tradein connection with that extensive branch of traffic. It is an important feature of the proposed line that the advantages of deep water at all. states of the tide at Holy head and Kingston will be rendered available for the traffic in cattle, goods, and minerals. From its position in relation to these ports and to the port of Dublin, this line will effect a considerable saving in the cost of transshipment and carriage of coal sent into the interior of the country, and a large development of coal traffic may confidently be anticipated as the result of these increased facilities. The London and North-Western Railway Company cordially approve of the undertaking, and will afford their fullest co-operation in developing the traffic between their system and the Irish railways over the proposed line. The act for this line was obtained in the last session of Parliament, after a most searching and careful inquiry of 22 days, before a Select Committee of the House of Com mons, which unanimously adopted it as the best of five competing schemes that had been under its consideration, for the purpose of supplying Dublin with a metropolitan railway communication effecting a connexion between the railway systems having their termini in that city. It is well known that the Metropolitan and Suburban Railways of London have produced results exceeding the most sanguine anticipations of their original promoters, although the cost of construction , including the purchase of properties, has been greatly in excess of any other railways in the kingdom. In the present instance the position of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway, of which the proposed line is practi cally an extension, furnishes the very best data for esti mating its future traffic.l The Dublin and Kingstown line has cost about £60,000 per mile. Its traffic is confined to passengers only, from which it derives an income yielding an annual dividend of about 10 per cent., and the £lOO stock is selling at about £2OO at the present time. It is estimated that the Dublin Trunk Connecting Rail way will cost about £37,000 per mile, and in addition to its suburban omnibus traffic, and the through passenger traffic, it will be the receiver of an extensive traffic in cattle, goods, and minerals. There is, therefore, just ground for expecting that the Dublin Trunk Connecting Railway will be at least quite as successful as the Dublin and Kingstown line, or, in other words, that it will become one of the very best and most remunerative railway properties in the kingdom. The works have been undertaken by the eminent firm of Messrs. J. and C. Rigby, the contractors for the harbour and other works at Holyhead. On registration of the Scrip, of which due notice will be given, the Certificates for £5O will be divided into five Shares of £lO each. In the event of no allotment being made. the deposits will be returned in full. Should a less number of Shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposits will be made available towards the payment on allotment, and the balance (if any) returned to the applicant.

The Assam Company, the first established far the culti vation of tea in India, being desirous of concentrating and confining their operations to the Southern Division of Upper Assam, and thus centralising the management of their extensive properties, have determined on selling it to the Northern Assam Tea Company (Limited), whose estates are contiguous, the whole of the northern and eas tern division of their property in Assam, instead of adopt ing the alternative of promoting a new company to carry them on, or placing them under separate management. The present extension of capital, therefore, is for the purpose of purchasing direct from the Assam Company the whole of their outlying es t a tes in the neighbourhood of the Tingrie and Deehing rivers in Upper Assam, forming their northern and eastern division, and consisting of the following gardens : The Tingrie Mookh, Hoogrie Jaun, Kehung, Naholia, Cato, Tippum, Hook= Joorie, Towrock. These comprise some of the fine old indigenous gardens, respecting which so much has been written, and which only require opening out to insure their profitable exten sion. They are at present producing the finest tea and tea seed in Assam—the latter in sufficient quantity to enable the purchasers to plant out any extent of new land with out further cost on this head. The area at present under cultivation is about 1,000 acres, of which over 500 are in full bearing. The Gardens are surrounded by lands for which grants have been ob tained to the extent of 10,000 acres, all of which is very superior and suitable for the growth of tea. The Assam Company's right to the whole of this pro perty, together with all buildings, plant, implements, tools, boats, and live stock, will be handed over to the Northern Assam Tea Company for the sum of £lOO,OOO, to be paid as follows :- Bth June, 1865 £30,000 15th July, ~ 15th August, „ 15th November, „ £lOO,OOO The crop of tea of this season, and any further grants of land that the superintendent or agents of the Assam Com pany may have acquired up to the date of completion of this sale, together with all cultivation commenced during the current season, commencing Ist November, 1864, has also been contracted to be transferred to this Company, on payment of the sums actually disbursed since that date. No commissions or promotion money have been paid or allowed. In the allotment of shares a preference will be given to shareholders in the Northern Assam Tea Company and the Assam Company. The Assam Company in 1863 disposed of their outlying estates in the district of Cachar, fin- the purchase of which a company was formed in Calcutta, called " The Central Cachar Company," the shares of which company are readily saleable at 25 per cent. premium. Those of the Assam Company are at above 150 per cent. premium. The success of tea-growing in Assam is now thoroughly established. Indian teas are rapidly increasing in favour and value, owing to their great strength and pungency. Further, it may be stated, that the recent reduction of the duty has already caused a considerable advance in prices here, and the supply is still inadequate to the demand. In reference to the quality and capabilities of the lands proposed to be purchased, the following extracts are taken from the last reports : The Resident Secretary in India of the Assam Company, in his report on the property contracted for, says : "The lands in this part of the province are the finest for tea cultivation in Assam. The soil is not only the very best, but the forests contain the most splendid timber, inex haustible in extent, which is not the case in the Southern Division. It needs no foresight to predict that the pro perty the Company holds in this part of the country may be made within the next ten years equal, if not superior, to that which they will be in possession of at that time in the Southern Division." The following are also extracts from a report made to the Directors of the Assam Company by their Chief Superin tendent in January last, when he visited the property : " That the land is first-rate there is no question or doubt, but to effect such an object (that is, work it to full advan tage) it must be divided into a distinct field, and the management given to the person residing on the spot. " I have now got the Deputy Commissioner to accept three applications near Tingrie, for probably an area of about 7,000 acres, including the land between Tingrie, Hoogrie Jaun, and Kehung, along the banks of the Tingrie river ; and this, with what we have already secured in other quarters between the Deehing and the Tingrie, will bring the Company's holding up to at least 10,000 or 12,000 acres ; and I would recommend the extending in this quar ter for the reason, that the land is very superior, and the position likely to be much more healthy than any other portion of the Northern and Eastern Division. " The present gardens, if worked up to their capabilities, would yield 2,000 maunds of tea. " The plants in the nurseries, which were put down last year for the purpose of planting out, have come up , very well, some of them 18 inches and others 2 fee t hi g h." The estates have been frequently visited by the Manag ing directors of the Northern Assam Tea Company during the last 13 years, and as lately as March last. He fully confirms the favourable views above expressed, and is of opinion that with comparatively small outlay the indi genous plants alone can be worked up to an annual yield of 4,000 to 5,000 chests of tea. Since the contract for the purchase has been concluded, the Assam Company have received from their Managing Director in India, and from a large Shareholder in both Companies now visiting Assam, valuations of the property greatly in excess of the price agreed to be paid. On the above grounds, therefore, the acquisition of these estates will render the Northern Assam Tea Company one of the Most influential and profitable in India.

A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the" Aedical Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet The reader of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. Lie has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of o,rtain Quacks, frau dulent ani noisome, who obtain money by false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion, from green young men. For their names, which " Punch" would not advertise, he has refers ed his readers to the lower corner of the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Sir." Punch's" contemporai les, especially'in the country, may still be enu mera t e d. But now he begs to pub lish the into, mation that a nom i na l list of these iniscreants. with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, n-edful to be knOwn, will be found in the pamphl t above ref,rred to, which is entitled " Bevelatkns of Quacks an 1 Quackery." and is to be had at the "Medici' Circular" Office, 20, King William -street, Strand, W.U. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are iully set forth in " Revelations of Quacks a...d Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are publishe I.

Serious Charge against a Beer-house Keeper, Yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock, at the police station, Windsor, Wm. Adolphus Robarts, landlord of the Prince of Wales Tavern, Church-street, was brought before Mr. W. R. Harris, the Mayor, and Messsrs. Driver and Cleave, borough magistrates, for further examination, upon suspi cion of seriously injuring the young woman Adelaide Dun ton, who now lies in a very dangerous condition at the Windsor and Eton Infirmary. Mr. Long, the magistrates' clerk, was in attendance, the examination taking place in the magistrates' room. Dr. Pearl was also present Police-sergeant Noble stated, in addition to his former evidence, that later in the day on Tuesday he proceeded to a room in the prisoner's house, which the latter had locked prior to his being taken to the station. He sent to the prisoner for the key, and ho sent some keys back, but none of them unlocked the door. Witness sent again to the prisoner, and said that unless he sent the proper key he would break open the door. Prisoner then gave up the key, and, going into the room, witness found on the floor beneath the bed a stick broken in two pieces. Witness was induced to make the search because when he first wentinto theroom with the prisoner he saw the latter kick something under the bed, where he subsequently found the two pieces of stick produced. (The stick which was then in court was a thin piece of willow.) Mr. Brickwell, house surgeon at the Windsor and Eton Infirmary, deposed that a girl was brought about 10 minutes to 8 o'clock on Tuesday morning to'the infirmary. When he first saw her she was lying on a bed, and the nurse was cleaning her body from the dirt. The girl was insensible, and he examined her. He found she had a lacerated wound of the scalp on the left side of the skull. The left side of her face was considerably swelled and bruised. There was a lacerated wound on her left cheek bone, whence blood was oozing freely. There was also con siderable swelling on the upper part of the left thigh, and the skin on the left hip was also grazed. There were large wheals on her right leg, hip, back, and shoulders—in fact, nearly all over her body, with the exception of her face, apparently caused by a severe caning. These, from their appearance, were quite recent. The girl was insensible, suffering from severe concussion of the brain, and breath ing heavily and slowly. Yesterday she had, however, re covered her consciousness. Mr. Long at this stage of the proceedings asked if a magistrate could go to the infirmary and take the girl's deposition without endangering her safety. Mr. Brickwell and Dr. Pearl thought it would be desirable to do that at once. The prisoner was then asked if he had any questions to ask Mr. Brickwell, and replied in the negative. At 1 o'clock Mr. Alderman Hanson and Mr. Driver, two of the borough magistrates, proceeded to the Windsor and Eton Infirmary, and took the de positions of the injured girl in the presence of the pri soner Robarts. In answer to the interrogations of the magistrates, Dunton stated that on the morning in ques tion (she being undressed, and having only her night dress on) the prisoner commenced beating her with a stick. To avoid his violence she first ran downStairS in order to get out into the street, but being pursued by the prisoner, again ran upstairs to the bedroom, and threw herself out of the window to escape from his brutality. Under these circumstances, and considering the precarious condition of Dunton, the magistrates remanded the prisoner and refused to accept bail. Robarts accordingly remains for the present in the hands of the police.

Mr. Alderman Lusk, another candidate, has not yet addressed the constituents, but is actively canvassing ; and the third, Mr. Wm. Phillips, addressed a meeting the other evening, and a vote was passed, though not unanimously, that he wis a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament. The opposition excited against Mr. Cox by the ultra-Democrats with respect to the Mazzini affair has nearly died out, and there is now no talk of opposing the sitting member's return. BIRKENHEAD. Mr. John Laird, M.P., has issued his address to the electors of Birkenhead, briefly setting forth his views on the leading public questions. BODMIN. Mr. C. Locock Webb, of Lincoln's Inn, has been for the last two or three days prosecuting a personal canvass in the borough, and his friends contend that the result shows an excellent chance of success. Mr. Webb is a Liberal Conservative. No steps have yet been taken by the sitting members, the Hon. F. L. Gower and Mr. Wyld, but the Liberal party appear to think that both seats are safe, and a notion is entertained that the nominee of the Carlton Club may not go to the poll. CARDIFF. Mr. H. S. Giffard, Q.C., of the South Wales Cir cuit, is announced as the Conservative candidate for the Cardiff boroughs. It is not yet known w hether Colonel Stuart, the present member, will seek re-election. In the event of his retirement, it is probable that Dr. Nicholl Came will be brought forward by the Liberals, and he will have the great influence of the house of Bute on his side. The con stituency numbers nearly 1,000 electors. DORCHESTER. Sir Henry Drummond Wolff has issued the fol lowing address to the electors of this borough : " The speedy dissolution of the present Parliament and the very unsatisfactory state of your ancient and constitutional borough have induced an influen- tial section of your body to invite me to offer mysel as a candidate for the honour of your, suffrages at the approaching election. Permit me at once to assure you that I greatly value the high honour you thus confer upon me, and to state , that I am ready to accept the responsibility, and to fight for you the battle of the Constitution, as an independent and Liberal Conservative. I fully appreciate the views that have been expressed to me as to the present state of your representation. I perceive, however, from the invitation I have received, that you are alive to the dangers and anomalies of the position, and prepared to avail yourselves of the wholesome provisions of the Constitution, which do not impri son the electoral choice within the narrow circle of local connexions. In case of my return I would offer no personal or factious opposition to Lord Palmerston, whose name and career I greatly re verence ; but I could not, on that account, support any measures emanating from his Government un less founded on sound and Liberal-Conservative principles. In foreign affairs lam an advocate for the principle of non-intervention, both in external and internal affairs of other countries, great or small, except where the interests of England are directly and manifestly concerned. lam anxious to pro mote economyin every branch of public expenditure, and to lighten the taxation of the country as far as is compatible with efficiency and . safety. I consider the Church as an essential element in our, constitu tion, and I would repel to the last any endeavour to separate Church and State. I shall always feel a special interest in the prosperity of Dorchester, and shall gladly assist in the development of those local institutions which afford comfort, advantage, ox pleasure to the people. On all occasions I shall endeavour to make myself master of your opinions and wishes, so as to give effect to them to the best of my power. I shall shortly pay my respects to you individually, and seek an opportunity of ex plaining at greater length my political views." HALIFAX. An announcement which had for some time been expected by those who are in the secrets of political movements in this borough was made on Wednesday. On that day the Liberal Registration received a letter, addressed to Mr. John Crossley, from Sir Charles Wood, .who has been one of the representatives for this borough since the passing of the Reform Bill in 1832, informing them that he does not intend to offer himself for re-election. There are two rumours as to this decision—one is that he is about to be elevated to the peerage, and the other is that he is to be a candidate for the representation of one of the divisions of the West Riding. During the time he has represented Halifax Sir Charles has been elected 12 times, and eight of the elections were contested. He has, in different Liberal Administra tions, filled the respective offices of Chancellor of the Exchequer, First Lord of the Admiralty, and Secre tary of State for India. A short time ago Mr. E. Akroyd, a moderate Liberal, and a gentleman o f great local infl uenc e, put out an addres s to the elec tors, announcing tliat he would offer himself as a candidate for their suffrages at the next election, and it is now probable that he and the present Liberal member, Mr.' Stansfeld; Will be 'elected with out opposition. Mr. J. Akroyd; the father of Mr. E. Akroyd, was an active politician of the Liberal school, and lie fell dead at the feet ,of Sir Charles , Wood on the exciting occasion of the election of 1847. Mr. Akroyd formerly represented Hudders field, having defeated the late Mr. Cobden, and he himself was defeated in 1859 by Mr. Leatham, the present member. Her Majesty's ironclad screw corvette Pallas, 2,372 tons burden, built on Mr. Reed's principles, and launched at Woolwich on the 14th of March last, was yesterday taken out of basin, with the greater part of her armour-plates on her sides, and was brought round to the mouth of No. 2 dock to be admitted for. completion. Her draught of water was 14ft. forward and 21ft. aft. A delay having taken place in bringing her out of basin, the tide' showed signs of ebbing before she had fairly, gained the stream. Moreover, the vessel, with her own steam up, was brought clown in-shore instead of in mid-channel, and was consequently impeded in her course by the shoals of mud and refuse which en cumber the offing near the mouth of the dock. •The docking was therefore unsuccessful that day. Every precaution had been taken by the dockyard autho rities with regard to her trim, and about 500 smiths and shipwrights were ordered to man the fore part for that purpose ; but it was found impracticable to get her over the " apron," or bar of the dock, and she was backed out by the assistance of a couple of steamtugs and made fast to the Hebe hulk until to day, when another, and doubtless a successful, at tempt will be made to bring het into dock alongside the bending shed, where her armour-plating and interior fittings will be completed. The War Department steam storeship Lord Pan mure has returned to Woolwich from the contrac tors, Messrs. Watkins and Jackson, in the City Canal, where she has undergone repairs and altera tions in her machinefy, &c. She has been fitted with the boilers saved from the sister vessel Balac lava, wrecked off the coast of Wexford. Her Majesty's screw corvette Miranda, 15, 1,039 tons, 250-horse power (nominal), Captain R. Jenkins, C. 8., from the Australian station, was yesterday floated into the steam basin at Sheerness to be dismantled and put out of commission, after nearly five years' service. The whole of her shot, shell, guns, and other War Deipartment stores have been transferred to the Ordnance Department transports, and landed at the gun-wharf at Chat ham. From the length of time the Miranda has been in commission, she will require an extensive repair before again hoisting the pendant. The ironclad frigate Bellerophon, 16, 1,000-horse power, has been placed in No. 3 dock at Chatham for the purpose of having the remainder of her armour-plating fixed to her sides, and to be fitted with her engines and machinery and equipped for sea. Before settling down on the blocks her draught of water aft was 19ft. sin., and forward 10ft. 6in. A considerable portion of her engines and machinery has been fitted on board by Messrs. John Penn and Sons, the contractors, and the entire machinery is expected to be complete in about six weeks from the present time. There is still much work remain ing to be completed on board in the way of armour plating and otherwise preparing her for sea, which will detain her at Chatham until the 23d of Sept., the date by which she is to be entirely completed and out of the hands of the dockyard mechanics. The preparations for the launch of the ironcased frigate Lord Warden, 24, 1,000-horse power (no minal) at Chatham, to-morrow afternoon, were completed last evening. . The paddlewheel steam-sloop Gladiator, 6, Capt. Francis 11. Shortt, with the gunboat Charon in tow, from Pembroke, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Wednesday evening. The gunboat Foam, from Falmouth, arrived on Wednesday night at Plymouth, and left again yes terday (Thursday) morning for Portland. The screw steam-sloop Amazon, 4, of 1,081 tons, and engines of 300-horse power, was launched at Pembroke on Tuesday. The Edgar, 71, screw steamship, Capt. G. T. P. Hornby, carrying the flag of Rear-Admiral Sydney C. Dacres, C. 8., in command of the ships forming the Channel squadron, left Spithead on Wednesday evening under steam for Portsmouth. She was fol lowed on Thursday morning by the Trinculo steam tender, Lieut. Creagh. The Salamis, paddlewheel steamer, Commander F. G. Suttie, left Portsmouth yesterday for Port land, to be attached to the Channel squadron. The Liverpool, 39, screw frigate, Capt. Rowley Lambert, returned to Spithead yesterday from Ply mouth and Portland. Thenlilitary invalids already announced as having arrived at Spithead in the hired transport Conflict, from Calcutta, were removed yesterday morning by a Government steamer to the Royal Victoria Hos pital, Netley. The Conflict subsequently left Spit head for London. Yesterday afternoon Major-Gen. Lord George Paget, her Majesty's Inspector-General of Cavalry, visited Canterbury to inspect the cavalry depots sta tioned there. His lordship first visited the hospital, and thence proceeded to the riding-school, where the recruits, the non-commissioned officers, &c., were put through a course of riding drill. At three o'clock the whole of the troops in garrison, amount ing to about 900, were paraded on foot in the Cavalry-square, and put through a series of review movements, which they executed with the greatest precision. Previous to leaving, Lord George Paget, who was attended by Capt. Fraser as aide-de-canip, expressed himself to Col. Custance, commandant of the garrison, as highly gratified 'with the result of his inspection. Col. J. R. Anderson, C. 8., commanding•the 4th Brigade Royal Artillery at Woolwich, having re ceived instructions from the Field-Marshal Com manding in Chief to proceed to the northern coun ties to hold an inspection of the regiments of 31ilitia, has commenced his duties at Liverpool. The following appointments and promotions were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. R. H. Swinton to be lieutenant and commander of the Charon, commissioned ; Henry C. A. Morshead, naval cadet, to the Caledonia ; Alfred W. Whitley, assist.-surg., and James A. Gaven and Ernest W. Hudson, acting-assist.-surgs., to the Princess Royal, as supernumeraries ; Patrick G. Lambert, chief en gineer, to the Aboukir; J. Harwood, chief engineer, to the Cumberland, additional, for the Cornwallis; Albert Martell, promoted to be engineer in the fleet; and Francis M. C. Richards, promoted to be first class assist.-engineer. I (SLAVE VESSELS CAPTURED:—In the last five years 96 vessels have been detained by her Majesty's ships attached to the slave trade squadrons, as being engaged or suspected of being engaged in the slave- trade. Ninety. on© were condemned (87 in the Vice-Admiralty Courts, four in the Mixed Commission Courts), and five were'released. NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENTS IN AgERICA:—A newspaper reporter, named B.;S. Osbon, is now being tried before a military commission in the city of New York, charged with " having given intelligence to the enemy." It appears that in the ordinary discharge of his duties lie sent from the front where he was stationed all the information he could procure as to what was going on to his employers, not necessarily for immediate publication, but to enable the editors to form an enlightened judgment' of events as they transpired, and to be published when not detrimental to the public service. The news which Mr. Osbon is c harged with send ing was published by the Philadelphia Press, an Adminis tration organ, but tho journal is not interfered with or blamed in the matter. Mr. Osbon objects to the jurisdiction of the Court, but his objection is overruled, although the best legal authorities in the States sustain his objection. The richest part of the affair is that Howard, who was im prisoned in Fort Lafayette for forging the Presidential Proclamation, has been appointed official reporter ,of the Court. TRURO. Mr. Au gustus Smith, the present Liberal repre sentative, having concluded a personal canvass, is of opinion that, on account of disunion among the Liberal party in the borough, his chance of sueeess at the next election is hopeless. He will therdoie retire at the end of the present Parliaiient. There is every probability that there will be no contest; the Liberals sending to the House the Hon. Captain Vivian, who is very popular with his partzonclAbe Conservatives Mr. F. Williams. - WAREHAM. Mr. J. S. W. S. Erle-Drax has issued an address to the electors of Wareham, in which he states that it is his intention to - offer himself for re-election. He says that he is " still in favour of progress, but tempered with sound judgment and a due regard to the welfare of the country at large." "In the Earl of Derby," he considers, " the country would find a Minister who, while he improved what required amendment, would not destroy the Constitution," and he is " opposed to measures which tend to swamp the existing constituencies." There will be a contest for the seat. Naval and Military Intelligence.
