The site chosen for its erection is at the west end of Wellington-square, Ayr, in front of the County-buildings. An accident occurred a few days back on the railroad from Maestricht to Landau, Belgium, at a short distance from the latter place. The train of travellers came suddenly upon a goods train which was standing across the line, the engineer not having been able, by reason of a curve, to perceive the obstacle in time to apply the brake . effectually. The goods train was literally cut in two; but the travellers in the other carriages escaped with onlya fow bruises and contusions. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING GENTLEMEN'S PORTMANTEAUS FROM PRIVATE LODGING-HOUSES.—Edward Woodhouse, alias " Land," alias " Captain Harper," a young man of respectable ap pearance, and who refused his address, was charged be fore Mr. Knox by Sergeant Shillingford, 4 C, with stealing a portmanteau and other articles of the value of £l6, the property of Mr. Edward Holland, M.P., residing at No. 7, Suffolk-street, Pall-mall, and the prisoner was further charged with stealing from No. 34, Sackville-street, a portmanteau and other articles, the property of Colonel Farris. Harriett Coles, cook to Mr. Chandler, the keeper of private lodging-houses at 34, Sackville-street, and 16 and 17, Pall-mall s said on or about the 10th of July a cabman drove up to No. 34, Sackville-street, and handed me the following note : " 16 and 17 Pall-mall—The colonel has been taken seriously ill in the street, and has been brought in here by a gentleman. The doctor says we are not to remove him to Sackville-street, but to put him to bed at once. He wants his luggage brought down at once. You must therefore put his things together, and give them to the cabman to bring them down. "MRS. CHANDELLES." The name was spelt incorrectly. I gave the cabman the portmanteau, which was full, and a railway rug with a strap round it. Charles Dunn, errand boy in Mr. Chandler's employ—l was present when the portmanteau was given to the cab man. I was afterwards in Piccadilly, and saw the cab going along with a man sitting on the box, and lam almost certain the prisoner is the man. I had seen him at the house three or four times before, as he came after a situation. Prisoner—What time in the day was it when the lug gage was given up ? Witness—ln the evening. Prisoner—Are you quite sure it was me on the cab ? Witness—l believe it was you, but lam not quite sure. Sergeant Shillingford, 4 C—Yesterday I saw the prisoner in Cheapside, and followed him to a pawnbroker's in Theobald's-road, where I saw him take & pencil-case out of his pocket. I saw him receive a duplicate from the pawnbroker, and afterwards redeem a silk dress. The prisoner then left, and I followed him to Lambs' Conduit street, where I saw him tie up the parcel and then go into the Working Men's Reading-rooms in the street and come out with a portmanteau. I asked him where he got the portmanteau from, and he said, "from the reading-rooms." He also said it was his property. I then took him back and asked the proprietor of the place if the portmanteau was the prisoner's, and he said it was, and that it came to the house by the Parcels' Delivery cart. On the port manteau was a lable written—" John Land, 11, Lambs' Conduit-street ; to be left at the luggage-station, King's cross, till called for." The portmanteau has on it the initials "E. H." Those initials corresponding with those on the one stolen from Mr. Holland, M.P., by means of the following letter : " Reform Club. " Madame,—l received a telegram last night from Brighton, announcing the death of my sister, which has brought me to town so early this morning. I am going to Brighton by the early train, and will return to London on Thursday morning. If any letters should come please send them to me, Marine Hotel, Brighton, and please to give the cabman my luggage as quickly as you can, and oblige yours, respectfully, "HOLLAND, M.P." Directed 7, Suffolk-street. (The letter was certainly in its appearance not such a one as a person would expect to receive from a member of Parliament.) The Sergeant, in continuation, said—l charged him with stealing the portmanteaus from Suffolk-street and Sackville-street, and then took him into custody. In two purses which I found in his possession I found several duplicates for silk, silk dresses, coats, earrings, and a brooch, and also upon him a gold watch and hair guard. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, at the same time de siring the sergeant to endeavour to trace out the cabman, that he might appear as a witness. THE stusT, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER- 14, HEE, BANX OF ENGLAND. The royal yacht Osborne, Commander d'Arcy, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from Woolwich, having been in attendance on the Prince and Princess of Wales. His Majesty the King of the Netherlands' steam sloop-of-war IVatergeus, Capt. Geerling, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from New York. She subse quently went into the harbour, as she will require to be docked to make good some defects in her machi nery. Capt. Geerling landed in the afternoon, and, accompanied by the vice-consul (Chevalier Vanden berg), paid his respects to the naval and military authorities. The Terpsichore, 18, attached to the sailing re serve in Chatham harbour, is to have the whole of her useful fittings and stores removed, preparatory to being sold out of the service. The Cornwallis, GO, 1,800 tons, 200-horse power, having had the whole of her machinery and engines removed, and her upper deck taken off, has been re moved out of dock at Sheerness, and is now moored off the entrance to the steam basin, near the jetty, where it is intended to sink her, in order to lengthen the dockyard jetty, by which additional facilities will be obtained for docking and undocking ships. The screw gun vessel Griffin, 5, 80-horse power, attached to the third division of the Chatham steam reserve, has been placed in dock, where she is under going a very complete repair. Her Majesty's screw steam frigate Arethusa, 35 guns, 3,141 tons, 500-horse power, Capt. R. J. J.G. Macdonald, made final trial of her machinery at the measured mile, off Maplin Sands, yesterday, before her departure from Sheerness for foreign service. It will be remembered that on several previous oc casions the Arethusa had been out for trial, hut that owing to some supposed leakage or defect in the surface condensing tubes satisfactory results had not been obtained. These condensing tubes, which are upwards of six miles in length, and con sist of more than 2,500 tubes, were originally secured to the tube plates by indiarubber washers placed round the tube, and in a recess in the tube plate. From the action of accumulated grease, or some other cause, the indiarubber washers had be come defective, and allowed an air leakage into the condenser, owing to which a proper vacuum could not be obtained. Since the last trial of the vessel, lon the 11th of August last, the indiarubber washers have been removed, and the tube ends secured with stuffing boxes and tape packing, and from the working of the machinery during the trial yester day there is every reason to believe that the con nexions are perfectly tight, and likely to remain so. The detention of the Arethusa at Sheerness has not been in consequence of the results of the late fire which occurred on board, the damage from which was made good in three days at a cost of a few pounds, but has arisen from the fact that for each of nearly 5,000 stuffing boxes, a screw had to be tapped into the tube plates, and screwed glands and tape packings made. On the trial, yesterday, it was found that the machinery worked very satisfactorily, there being an entire absence of priming and hot bearings. The vessel left the harbour about 7 30 a.m., the draught of water being 21ft. forward, and 23ft. Gin, aft, and her load on the safety-valve 251 b. Captain Randolph, of the Sheerness Steam Reserve, super intended the trial and had command of the vessel; Mr. Matthews, of the firm of Messrs. John Penn and Sons, the makers of the engines, was in attendance to watch the results of the alterations on behalf of the firm. The engines were in charge of Mr. George Tucker, Inspector of Machinery Afloat, at Sheerness, and Mr. Fabian, chief engineer of the ship, together with Mr. Dinnen, Inspector of Machinery, specially in attendance from the Admiralty. Six runs were made on the measured mile with the following result : First run, smin. 58sec., averaging 10.651 knots per hour; second run, 6 min. 47 secs., averaging 8.845 knots ; third run, 5 min. 53 sees., aver. aging 10.843 knots ; fourth run, 6 min. 20 secs Naval and Military Intelligence. HALF-YEARLY MEETING—(THIS DAY). The ordinary hall-yearly meeting of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England was held this day in the Bank Parlour. Henry Launcelot Holland, Esq., the gover nor, presided. The GOVERNOR said he had to acquaint the Court that that was one of the quarterly general courts appointed by the charter, and that it was also one of the half-yearly general courts appointed by the 13th bye-law of the com pany for the making of a dividend ; that the net profits for the half-year ending 6th August last were £704,269 4s. 6d, making the amount of the rest on that day £3,733,945 3s. Id., and that after provid ing a dividend of 5 per cent., the rest would be £3,006,295 3s. Id. The court therefore proposed that a half-yearly dividend of interest and profits be made on the 10th of August next of £5 per cent., without deduc tion on account of income-tax. He said he was quite satisfied that most of those present must, have been pre pared for a smaller dividend than the last, but he felt cer tain that the proprietors would be quite satisfied with the result of the half-year. He therefore moved that the divi dend for the half-year be at the rate of 5 per cent. without deduction. The resolution, having been seconded, was carried unanimously. The GOVERNOR said the dividend warrants would be payable on the 11th of October next. Mr. Moxox said, before the business terminated, he should like to make a few observations. Last year some of those present would recollect that he asked a question, whether the directors intended to allow interest on deposits, and the Governor said the mat ter was under consideration, but the directors had not made up their minds on the matter. There was now an other matter which deserved some attention, and that was the state of the debenture debt of the railway com panies. It was said out of doors that the directors of the Bank of England were holders of debenture debt to the amount of X 8,000,000 in some of these railway companies. If the Bank had used the power they had, he should like to know. Under any circumstances he hoped the matter would receive attention. The GOVERNOR, in reply, said the hon. proprietor must have misunderstood the observations of his predecessor in office. What•was said was that the matter was every now and then pressed upon their attention ; that they were fully awake to the importance of the subject, but that they were not then prepared to take action in the matter. Such an arrangement involved a much wider sphere than many persons imagined. There was no saying what turn banking might take, but for the present the bank directors were not prepared to allow interest on deposits. With respect to the other subject alluded to by the hon. gentleman, he had to inform him that the Bank certainly held a certain amount of the debt of some of the railway companies, but the figures he had mentioned were considerably beyond the amount in possession of the Bank. The debentures held by them were those only of the best companies. The direc tors did not go into loans with railway companies or any body else without a clear examination of the titles and securities, and, in acting for themselves in such matters, the directors were only acting for the.body of the general proprietors. With respect to the state of the debenture debt of railways, he thought that a question for the House of Commons, not the Bank of England. He might, how ever, before resuming his seat, inform the hon. gentleman that he had greatly overstated the amount held ; half the amount he had mentioned would be nearer the mark. Mr. MoxoN said he should like to know whether the Bank held any of the Great Eastern debt ? The GOVERNOR said they did, but it was not of large amount. The amount of debt held by the Bank in the whole would amount to about £4,000,000 amongst 15 or 16 of the railway companies, but there was no very large sum in either of them. Mr. CAVE moved, and Mr. BOTLEY seconded, a vote of thanks to the governor and directors for their exertions during the past half-year. The GovEnsoß having acknowledged the complimen the meeting terminated. The Marriage of Miss Crosse and her Father's Groom.—This Day. Wandsworth was all life and bustle to-day in conse quence of it becoming generally known that Miss Crosse, whose case, in connection with that of George Smith, her father's groom, was to be married to her lover. The Rev. Mr. Crosse had wisely consented to the match, and with the aid of a special license flys ceremony of marriage was performed to-day, and thus the adven turous lovers became man and wife. The Rev. Mr. Gower, curate •of the parish, performed the rites. The youthful couple returned after the marriage to the house of Mr. Job George to receive the congratulations of their new friends. The church was crowded, and the street outside was literally blocked 'up with some hundreds of people, who could not gain ad mission, and many carriages, carts, and waggons were assembled, such was the excitement and curiosity which was creatsd b3^ this singular incident in real life. The bride was dressed very simply in a pale pink silk bonnet, black shawl, and light dress. She is taller than her husband, and evidently the master mind. He is a small young man, with fair complexion and regular features, and looks a mero boy. On quitting the church the bells rang the usual peal, the crowd fol lowed the young couple to Job George's door, cheering them heartily all the way, and flowers were thrown over them, and many were heard wishing them long life and happiness. averaging 9.396 ; fifth run, 5 min. 44 secs., aver aging 10.465 knots ; sixth run, 6 min. 10 secs., averaging 9.737 knots. The mean speed of the ship was 10 knots per hour ; revolution of engines, 65 ; pressure of steam, 25 ; vacuum, 26k. The circle was turned in 8 min. 2 sec., the angle made by the helm being 21 deg. to port, and the diameter of the circle GOO yards. The engines worked throughout a period of eight hours, with perfect ease and smoothness; and it is thought by the officials that when the bottom of the vessel is cleansed from marine accumulation a still more sa- tisfactory working of the ship will be obtained. The troops in Woolwich garrison yesterday as sembled at an early hour and commenced their march to Dartford-heath at 7 a.m., taking various routes as arranged by their commanding officers. The B Brigade Royal Horse Artillery marching by the Herbert-road, Plumstead-common, Bostall-hill, Bexley-heath, and Crayford ; the C Brigade Royal Horse Artillery by the Lower-road, along the Arsenal wall, turning off at the right of Bostall heath, &c. ; the field batteries, the 4th and Depot Brigades by the Dover-road, Bexley-heath, &c. The Riding Establishment Commissariat Corps and Military Train also marched by the Dover-road, the Riding Establishmentkeeping 500 yards in advance. The infantry column, consisting of the sth Brigade Royal Artillery, and the division of Royal Marines, took the route over Shooter's-hill, through Crown woods and Bexley. On their arrival at the heath a company of Royal Artillery and a company of Royal Marines were detached off for picket duty. They were divided into three reliefs, and were extended in line of double sentries, and videttes were de tached from the Riding Establishment to watch over the line of pickets. Several hundred tents were pitched with extraordinary expedition. His Royal Highness Prince Arthur, accompanied by Major Elphinstone, C. 8., honoured Gen. Warde with his presence, and partook of refreshments in the head- When the happy pair arrived at the house of Mr. George, the baker, who, it will be recollected, was one of the bail for Smith, they made their appearance at once at the first floor window, where the bridegroom took off his hat, and bowed repeatedly to the crowd beneath. However, that appeared not to satisfy his friends, and he then opened the window, and addressed the crowd with a few appropriate remarks. He thanked his friends sincerely for all their kindness and sympathy shown to him since he had been in Wandsworth, and he hoped they would al live long and be happy. Thi s sho r t speech was received with tremendous cheering, and it was some time before the police could clear the streets and restore order. It was understood that the happy pair intended to travel for a short time. Thus finished one of tho most exciting cases that had ever startled and so deeply interested the good folks of Wandsworth. Attempted Murder of a Man by his Wife. Late last night considerable excitement was caused in the immediate neighbourhood of the Whitechapel-road, in consequence of a report being raised that a man had been murdered by his wife in one of those miserable courts which abound in that great thoroughfare. Upon making inquiries it was ascertained that a man named Coombes had a quarrel with his wife respecting some domestic difference, and, during the affray, the woman stabbed her husband in the head. The aid of the police having been obtained, • the man, who was bleed ing profusely from the head, was taken to the London Hospital, where the injuries were strapped, and the police were ordered to take him quietly home, but to the no small astonishment of all the crowd that had assembled outside the gates of the hospital, the man suddenly darted across the road between several vehicles passing at the time, and could not be found. Whether the injury to his head had caused a fit of dilirium, or whether he wanted to shield his wife from punishment by keeping out of the way, is at present unknown. quarters' marquee, at which Mrs. Warde presided. On account of the heat of the weather, knapsacks were ordered to be left in garrison. The march was intended as a substitute for the ordinary drills, and was looked upon by officers and men as a healthful recreation. The various sites for the encampment were judiciously allotted by Captain Naugle, D eputy -Assist. - Quarterm aster - General, who was mainly asisted in the arrange ments of the camps by Dr. White and the me dical officers in attendance. Fifteen rounds of ammunition per man and ten rounds per gun having been issued on their departure, a well-sustained con test with an imaginary foe commenced on the heath Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day Market firm. Sales, probably 10,000 bales. AN AWKWARD AFFRAY. - ---it was discovered on Sunday last that, during the previous night, the vinery of H. Lisle, Esq., in Bailiffgate, Alnwick, had been entered and robbed by some persons unknown. The police authorities were informed of the circumstance, and accordingly on Monday night, Police- sergean t St uar t and Police-constable Stevenson went to th e pl ace t o ma k e readilyb observations ed by e entered a r s to thedepredators, some stay, as it was considered not imp ro b a bl e th a t t h e thieves might return. It was about 11 o ' c l oc k ; th ere te mannerintending also to make in which it w ou ld mos t was as yet no moonlight; and the shadow of the surrounding trees added to the darkness which pre vailed. The policemen stationed themselves about fifteen yards apart, and had not waited long when they heard the footsteps of two men ascending the steps that led from the lower garden. The man who was in advance struck Stevenson a blow on the arm with a heavy stick ; the second man, who was also provided with a stick, fol lowed up the attack by knocking him down with a stroke on the head. The policeman, thus taken at a disadvantage, struggled gallantly with his assailant. He caught hold of the second man's stick, and the two rolled over each other, each striving to get possession of it. Sergeant Stuart at the same time came up and closed with the other man. The struggle in this case was equally des perate. Stuart was severely injured ;he received three scalp wounds, besides several contusions on other parts of his body. He would, iu all probability, have received even worse injuries had not Stevenson, who had at length wrested the stick from his antagonist, and effectually disabled him with a tremendous blow on the head, came to his superior's assistance. And now at length Stuart recog nised in his antagonist no midnight thief, but Mr. Lisle's head gardener, who in turn discovered that the unknown individual whom under a mistaken impression he had so fiercely assaulted was one familiarly known to him ; nor could they have failed to recognise each other but for the darkness of the night. The other man proved to be an assistant of the gardener's. They had been watching, like the police, for the reappearance of the nocturnal plunderers, and thus the mistake of the two parties of watchers had been mutual. The wounds of the police -sergeant and the gardener's assistant are unfortunately most seyere.— Northern Express. • at 6 o'clock, and was kept up for an hour with much vigour, the extent of the heath admitting of the complete details of a warm skirmish. The troops returned to quarters at Woolwich at 9 o'clock. Inspector-General of Hospitals, John Forrest, M.D., C. 8 ., died at 10, Queen's-parade, Bath, on the 10th inst., agst 61 years.

Terrible Colliery Accident at Wigan—Eight Persons Killed• - An appalling colliery catastrophe, by which eight men and boys were deprived of life with only a few seconds' warning, occurred late on Tuesday afternoon, at the Cali fornia pit, situated at Pennington -green, between three and four miles from 'Wigan. The colliery forms part of the extensive works of the Kirkless Hall Coal and Iron Company. It has been in existence for a considerable time, and though only one seam—the Arley Mine, is worked, the yearly " out-put" has been for many years as great as at any pit in the Wigan coal-field ; while the accidents, and particularly those of a fatal character, have been re markably few in proportion to the number of men employed. When the pit is in full work, between 300 and 400 colliers and drawers are engaged ; but on Tuesday morning only 277 lamps were given out on the pit-bank, the reason being that the previous Saturday was " pay Saturday ;" Monday consequently was " play Monday ;" and on Tues day, when the fortnight's work is commenced, the whole of the men are never ready to begin their labour. On Tuesday two full hours are seldom made, and though the men descended the pit at the usual hour in the morning, the operation of winding them up the shaft began soon after 3 o'clock in the afternoon. At a quarter to four about 100 of the men had been con veyed safely to the surface, and eight more colliers and drawers were placed safely in the upper portion of the two decker cage by the hooker-on to ascend the shaft, a dis tance of about 315 yards. The cage was within about 45 yards of the top, 21 strokes of the engine, when suddenly, and from some cause at present totally unexplained, the rope slipped off the cone-shaped drum on to the shaft ; and, though the engine was immediately checked, the cage fell down the pit, snapping the steel wire in two like a thread, and then dashing along with its living freight at a fearful rate to the bottom, a fall of fully 270 yards. The work men at the pit eye had fortunately sufficient time to get out of the way of the cage, which, moving with extraordinary velocity, crashed through the boarding which covered the dib-hole, and was hidden in the seven feet of water which it contained. For a short time the utmost con sternation prevailed, but those . , on charge on the pit bank were not long in making preparations to learn the extent of the disaster. The capstan was soon in order, and about five o'clock four men, named James Smalishaw, Roger Taylor, Peter Reyes, and Daniel Higson, were lowered in a basket by its means. They found the shaft had been very slightly injured, for the cage had been held in its po sition by the rods and the rope, some hundred yards of which it had taken with it in its fall, and had lodged safely on the top of the ascending cage. Considerable damage had of course been done at the bottom, but the workmen who had been waiting to ascend were safe, though much alarmed. There was not the slightest possibility that any ono of the eight men in the dib-hole could be alive, and it was deemed the wisest course, as the rope on other side of the shaft was uninjured, to proceed with the winding up of the 160 men who were still in the pit. The news of the accident was soon disseminated for miles round, and a constant stream of relatives and friends of the men employed was quickly moving to the pit from every direction. Of the 100 who had been drawn up some had not reached home, while of course it was impossible to say on the pit-bank who were the 8 out of the 160 down whose lives had thus been sacrificed. Whilst, therefore, all of the great crowd rhich soon assembled had good reason to hope that their friends had escaped, still there could be nothing like certainty, and it was most affecting to see the eager glances of anxious watchers at the black faces of each party of workmen as the cage reached the surface, and to notice the hearty welcome which was ac corded to some few of the latest arrivals, who Were received as if they had risen from the dead. At 20 minutes past six, after the cage had made about 20 journeys, all the living were out of the pit, and then, under the direction of Mr. Samuel Lancaster, who was assisted by the underlooker of the pit, preparations were made for the recovery of the bodies. The cage was soon fastened to the ctrong capstan-rope, and in 20 minutes it was easily raised out of the dib-hole. It was completely smashed, and the bodies, all of which were inside, were fearfully crushed, though all were identified without difficulty, as in only one case was there any con ziderable disfigurement of the features. The bodies were carefully wrapped up at the bottom and sent up in couples to the top, where carts were in readiness to convey them to . the Running Horse Inn, Aspull, there to await the coroner's inquest. The names of the deceased are as under :—James Ramsdale, 23, Hindley, collier, single ; John Dunn, 18 Hindley, drawer, single ; George Ingham, 19, Hindley drawer, single ; John Holland, 20, Ince, collier, single ; William Bradshaw, 18, Hindley, drawer, single ; Robert Fletcher, 12, New Springs, pony driver ; Robert Eatock, 46, Hindley, collier, married and six children ; Edward Anderton, 27, Ince, collier, married and two children. The cause of the accident rests at present unexplained, but some light may perhaps be thrown upon it at the in quest, which will probably be opened to-day. The rope, which wag of steel, and about 3f inches in circumference, had been on the drum since the 13th of May, and was in good working order. It was calculated to resist a strain of 10 or 12 tons, but this, of course, would be nothing com pared with the force of the jerk by which it was broken. The drum was of conical shape, and the slipping of the rope which caused the accident would be a circumstance very similar to the slipping of a lad's string when he winds his peg-top. The Government inspector, Mr. P. Higson, paid a visit to the pit and examined the machinery yesterday.

TIIE NEW LAW COURTS.—The " late" Insolvent Debtors' Court has been fitted up for the commis sioners appointed by her Majesty to "advise and report" on the erection of the now law courts and their accommo dation and internal arrangement. The place is ready for the reception of the commissioners, and about the end of the long vacation the first meeting will be held. The matters to be advised and reported upon will be divers and important, both as to the extent of the site and the ex pected outlay. The commissioners are to consist of three officers of the Court of Chancery. The judges of the various courts and the legal profession are to be fully re presented. The first question to be solved by the commis sioners will be as to the site—the displacement of some hundreds if not thousands of persons—and then the ques tion to be considered will be whether the outlay will exceed the amount provided.

CUTTING AND WOUNDING.--Julia M'Kay, a pale-faced, wretched-looking woman, about 30 years of age, of No. 2, Turner-street, Commercial-road, was brought before Mr. Paget on a charge of cutting and wounding Jane Smith, a married woman, of No. 6, Robert's-place, Commercial road. The complainant, a little, slender woman, in a very weakly condition, said—She was married, and had been out nearly the whole of yesterday, drinking with the pri soner. In the evening she went home with the prisoner, and had a quarrel with another female. The prisoner in terfered, and they scuffled together. She recol lected nothing more until she found herself in the London Hospital, bleeding from a wound on the head, and under the care of a surgeon. She was stabbed on the head, and lost a good deal of blood. Mr. Paget asked if there were any witnesses in attend ance who saw the wound inflicted? James Loker, 344 K, who had charge of the case, said more than one person saw the prisoner use a knife. He put in a medical certificate, which stated that the prosecu trix was treated for a lacerated scalp. Mr. Paget said that the witnesses must be produced, and the case further inquired into. He remanded the prisoner. SERIOUS • CHARGE AGAINST A POLICE-CONSTABLE. —A man, named Thomas Marshall, a deal porter, who appeared to have been terribly punished, applied to Mr. Paget for a summons against a police-constable of the K division, who assaulted him last night in Three Colt-street, opposite the end of Limehouse parish church. There was a large surgical plaister on the top of the complainant's head, and he had lost a good deal of blood. He said he went into Five Bells public-house in Three Colt-street last night at nine o'clock. He went off to sleep and at ten minutes past twelve o'clock Mr. Wright, the landlord of the Five Bells, woke him up, and said, "Now, York (his nick name), you must leave," and on his refusal to do so called in a police constable, who struck him on the tip of the nose, hit him in the arm and nearly broke it, and then struck him on the head with his truncheon. He received a dreadful wound, and the people who looked out of the windows called out " Shame !" Mr. Paget—Why did he do this ? Applicant—The constable was drunk. I went to the station this morning and could not see the constable. Mr. Paget—Do you know his name ? Applicant—l do not, but I have his number. Mr. Paget—The men are paraded when they come off duty. Mr. Livingston—Yes, sir, and before they go on:duty. Mr. Paget addressed Police Sergeant Manning, No. 15 IC, who was acting as inspector for the day, and directed him to assist the applicant in ascertaining the name of the con stable on the beat, and the name of the constable who was alleged to have beaten the complainant. He supposed there would not be any difficulty in the matter ? Manning—None, sir, if he has mentioned the right hour and place. Mr. Paget would grant a summons; and he directed Manning to request the attendance of the inspector who saw the constables on parade last night and who paraded them when they came off duty this morning. SOTJTHWAJIK. THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER.—An elderly female, named Eliza Mason, was charged before Mr. Burchara with com mitting an assault on Ann Nightingale. The complainant, a respectable-looking woman, stated that she was a widow, and that she had for a considerable time been subjected to annoyance from the conduct of the prisoner, who lived in her neighbourhood, the Westminster road, and who had become jealous of her from an unfounded suspicion of an intrigue between her and her (prisoner's) husband. She had occasion to bring her before the court for assaulting her previously, and the present offence of which she complained was com mitted on the 19th of last month. She was going along Joinder-row, Westminster-road, when the prisoner came up to her, and, without the slightest provocation, struck her three or four times, and she also threatened to " do for her." She was in, fear that the prisoner would do her some serious bodily injury. The prisoner said that on the evening in question she saw the complainant and her husband walking arm-in -arm, and that, overcome by her feelings, she shook the former. Her grounds of suspicion of an improper connexion be tween the complainant and her husband were not un founded. Mr. Burcham said that when she was before the Court on the last occasion the complainant was stated to be a very respectable person, and it appeared that there was no ground for the prisoner's jealousy. Mr. Edwins, the chief clerk, said there was no doubt the prisoner was not legally married to the person she called her husband, and she had been before the court charged with bigamy. The prisoner was ordered to find a security in .£lO for good behaviour for one month, which, not being forth coming, she was locked up. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN THE POLICE-CELL.--,l ane Smith, a dissipated-looking woman, was charged with attempting to commit suicide. Police-constable 82 M said that the prisoner was brought to the station last night on a charge of being drunk and incapable, and was locked up. About one o'clock this morning he went into her cell, and found her lying on the floor in a state of insensibilty, and black in the face. A string was tied tightly round her throat, and unless she had received prompt attention she must have been suffocated. The prisoner expressed great regret for what she had done, and, on her promising not to repeat the offence, she was discharged. On Tuesday Mr. W. H. Gladstone, M.P., gave a treat to the villagers of Ilawarden, amounting to 1,100 per sons, as an acknowledgment of the reception which was given to him on his arriving at Hawarden on the day he was elected to Parliament. Tea was provided for the young in the flowa garden on the terrace opposite the Castle, and dinner was served to the adults in a spacious pavilion. The Chancellor of the Exchequer presided, and Sir Stephen Glynne occupied the vice chair. The streets of the village were decorated with arches and evergreens, and the day was observed as a general holiday. ITIES. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE —This Day.

An extraordinary meeting of the directors and share holders of the Atlantic Telegraph Company was held this day, at the London Tavern, for the purpose of reporting to the shareholders the present position of the undertak ing, and the measures recommended by the board for the resuscitation of the Company's existing cable in connec tion with the manufacture and submersion of a second cable. The business commenced by the Secretary reading a report from the directors detailing the present state of the company, and the steps taken to ;attain the object of the directors, viz., electric communication between England and America. The failure of the attempt last month had compelled them to enter into a fresh contract beneficial to all parties. Under this contract the Telegraph Con struction Maintenance Company undertake for the sum of £5OO, 000, which has been agreed on as the cost price, at onee to commence the manufacture of, and during 1866 to lay down, a now cable between Ireland and Newfoundland. The contractors, if the said cable be successful, but not otherwise, are to have in shares and cash a profit at the rate of 20 per cent. upon such cost. The contractors also undertake, without any further charge whatever, to go to sea with sufficient cable, including that now left on board the Great Eastern, and all proper appliances and apparatus such as experience has shown to be necessary, and to use their best endeavours—in the success of which they en tirely believe—to recover and repair and complete in working order between Ireland and Newfoundland the pre sent broken cable. The CHAIRMAN, in his opening remarks, referred to the present position of the company, and said that the inten tion, in the first instance, was to raise certain capital upon certain terms; but instead of that they intended merely to ask the shareholders to receive the report of the directors, and to leave the question of the terms upon which the new capital should be raised for further consideration of a meeting to be held next month. All that was now sought to be done was to let the public see that the directors were not idle, that they were not beaten down, that they were not discouraged, and that they were as earnest as ever in their desire to see their great object accomplished. (Hear, hear.) The company had surmounted many difficulties, but now, he was happy to say, the greatest unanimity pre vailed, and that every person connected with the company desired to complete the work which had the universal sup port of the English people. The failure of the last attempt was now a matter of history, and he would let byegones be byegones, and iu preference to dwelling upon that he would say that the new contract entered into by the company would prove as highly beneficial to them as it was honourable and spirited to the company that had under taken its construction. The hon. chairman then went on to state that the various objections against the lay ing of a telegraph had all been proved groundless. They had showed that it was possible to lay a cable the entire length. That was proved in 1838, yet notwithstanding that he believed there were some who still believed that no message over was transmitted from end to end of the cable. He could only say he should be happy to show such persons that at least 60 messages were received before the communication ceased. The mode of issue of the new capital no doubt had shocked some of their old shareholders. They, no doubt, said—Are we to be altogether sacrificed to a new class of proprietors ? He could only say the course proposed was inevitable. He did not think it could be said that the proposal would be throwing good money after bad; on ethat he the contrary, h e thought it would be investing a further sum of money which would revive and t an y o co w give directors value to thatre advisedwhich was u a l d t issue s u d e i 8 1 e r p e t r . cent. shares over the 8 per cent. shares. If they did nothing their shares would further deteriorate ; if they abandoned their prospect the property would become almost valueless. With respect to the matter of charge for messages on the completion of the work, he had to say that the charge would not be .C 1 a word. The paper containing that statement had to be put forward to prevent a great rush of business in the event of success, but it was not issued with the view of being the permanent charge of the company. If they completed their work they would have two powerful arms to embrace their American brethren with, and become possessed of one of the grandest properties that ever existed. (Cheers.) Mr. LE BRETON seconded the adoption of the report. Mr. TAYLOR thought it would be advisable, before fur ther money was laid out, to ascertain that they were in the right groove. He thought a lighter cable might be more easily laid than one of the weight which had proved un successful. One made of gutta percha and copper wire alone might be easily manufactured and conveniently stowed on board ship, and thus the great difficulty of weight would be altogether got rid of. H e thought it was also advisable to think over another route—the northern one, for instance, by the Faroe Islands. There the greatest length of cable would be required-400 miles—which was a circumstance greatly in its favour. He had the greatest confidence in the hon. chairman, and he hoped he might in a short time reap the reward of his great exertion • • to bring this company to a suc cessful issue. The CHArßivasT said he had no faith in the route men tioued by the hon. proprietor. Ho thought the country altogether impracticable for such a purpose. Alter a short discussion the report was adopted. The CHAIRMAN said he would not detain them any fur ther on that occasion, but he hoped to have the pleasure of seeing them at the next meeting to bo held next month. The proceedings then terminated.
