It is proposed that a meeting of Main Line and Western Extension share holders shall be held at the London Tavern, on Monday, the 3d December, at ono o'clock, for the purpose of ap pointing a committee and taking such steps as may then be deemed expedient.

Dr. Paterson said he resided in Cavendish-road, St. John's-wood, and he had consulting rooms in Welbeck street, and his only medical qualification was his diploma from the College of Physicians, in New York, and ho had seen the diploma of Dr. Hunter. _ Do..

B stock 117 119 25 27 5 11 1.4 il6 124 125 Evidence was then given of the absence of a gentleman named Leo Contorso being absent from the country, and whose testimony was considered to be material. Dr. Henry Melville mid he was a physician, and had taken his degree at Edinburgh. He knew Dr. Hunter at New York in 1853. Dr. Hunter's practice as consulting physician in pulmonary diseases was SL) large that he had employed himself and otlker medical men to as;;Lit Ile remained with Dr. Hunter until 1854, when ho went to Canada. He renewed his acquaintance with Dr. Hunter in this country in 1864, and again assisted him in his prac tice. He was intimately acquainted with Dr. Hunter's theory, and wrote the preface for the fifth edition of his work. The medicines were the same as were found in the ordinary pharmacopeia used by medical students, and consisted of stimulants, sedatives, and alteratives. The Lord Chief Justice —This was a new theory, and the question is whether this ingredient could be introduced through the throat into the system of the patient by ordi nary men from the instructions in Dr. Hunter's book ? Witness—His experience for 12 years showed him that an ordinary practitioner could apply the ingredient with out difficulty by inhalation. The theory of inhalation was not a novel one, and was known to Hippocrates and Galen, and practised by some eminent physicians of modern times. The book of Dr. Hunter was quite intelligible to medical practitioners, but perhaps, if he had written for medical men only, he might have introduced this formula. The book was intended as a popular exposition, and he consi dered that its principal merit was its being efficiently systematised, as regarded the mode of inhalation, which was a very delicate operation. The Lord Chief Justice said that what ho wanted to know was whether Dr. Hunter's book contained such in structions as would enable the ordinary practitioner to treat a patient, according to the system of Dr. Hunter ? Witness—He should certainly say so. Some medicines could be more easily volatilised than others. Dr. Hunter's theory was based on the practice of inhalation, as adopted by some of the most eminent physicians. Dr. Hunter hada large practice in this country, and he was very suc cessful.

Witness —Certainly, the patient himself. He gene rally saw the patient, and when that could not be done he and Dr. Hunter acted on the best information they could obtain, and sometimes they acted on the diagnosis of tho disease as supplied by the patient himself. That was in conformity with the practice of the profession. The medi cines he used were furnished by Corbyn, were of the best quality, and contained no ingredient that was not used by the profession generally. The case was proceeding when we went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.---This Day.' MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STRIPPING CHILDREN. — T WO girls named Emma Richard son and Caroline Foster, were charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with stealing several articles of wearing apparel from two children named Clutterbuck, residing in Upper Rathbone-place. Mr. Robert Silman, of No. 43, Foley-street, said that about four o'clock yesterday evening he was passing by the Middlesex Hospital when he heard some children down a mews crying. On going down the mews to ascertain the cause, the prisoner Foster ran away from the children, leaving Richardson putting the children's clothes in order. Richardson said that Foster had been attempt ing to rob the children, and that she was going to take the children home. He told Richardson to stop with the children while he went after Foster and she promised to do so, but on his return with Foster she was gone. Mrs. Emma Clutterbuck identified several articles of clothing as those the children had on when they left home, and one of the children had told her that on 3 of the girls wanted to get her frock off ; but on telling her that her mother would beat her if she went home without it, and beginning to cry the girl desisted. Mr. Silman said the children had been promised some sweetmeats by the prisoners. A constable of the E division said that when Foster was brought to the station she gave the address of Richardson, and on going to Stroud's Vale, King's-cross, and taking Richardson into custody, she said that it was not her who stripped the children, but Foster. Mr. Tyrwhitt remarked in remanding the prisoner that it was a shame two little children could not be in the streets without being robbed by two girls like the prisoners. - -- 'EIIAAIES.

It is a childish and unseemly procedure, on the part both of electors and elected ; and, in its political as well as its personal aspect, it is ono among several recent proofs of the hopelessness of tryingto under stand Irish politics, or rather Irish politicians, with their incongruous mixture of fury and frivolity. With a differ ence there is much teaching to the same purpose in the spectacle of Belfast, the most prosperous and progressive town in Ireland, returning a representative without name, services, or any other recommendation than being dull and obstinate in the bigotries and feuds of 150 years ago, and returning such a representative under the pressure, not of purblind aristocracy, but of a democracy more fierce as well as more foolish by far than was ever swayed by an English demagogue. _ Why , was Mr. Kavanagh " triumphantly returned" for the county of Wexford ? Not on account of .his opinions, but rather in spite of his opinions. Even if his opinions had not been notoriously different from those of the mass of the constituency, the other candidate was of the same opinions, and could utter his opinions with excessive ease, while Mr. Kavanagh could not utter them at all—besides which it cannot be doubted that the county contains other men of the same mind and of less painfully incomplete body. Not on account of his assumable fitness or effec tiveness—for he is fit only for one function of a member of Parliament, and is less fit oven for that than any other man. He could not appear to speak even at the election ; the rules and customs of the House of Commons will have to be suspended to enable him even to listen ; and, in order to enable him to vote, devices hitherto employed only in rare and extreme cases will have to be employed on his behalf in every division. It is then on account neither of his principles, nor of his powers of giving his principles effect ; that this gentleman has been returned to Parliament on the coritrary, his principles are unpopular, and he is impotent to promote them. What, then, is the grand counteracting weight ? what was the claim which he put forward and the electors ac knowledged ? Simply that he was without arms and legs. That is the simple fact, and it is a very discreditable fact. He claimed and was chosen on account of his defects— calamity was treated as merit, and peculiar unfitness as a recommendation. Such a procedure is discreditable to the taste and the sense both of him who asked and those who gave. Mr. Kavanagh's strange and dreadful bodily de fects entitle him to the sympathy of his less unfortunate fel low-creatures ; and it is pleasing as well as curious to hear of the success of his efforts to some extent to overcome his misfortunes, and render his private life tolerable or even agreeable to himself. To scorn or ridicule a man thus struggling with such a position would be not only senseless and cruel, but brutal. But there is a vast dif ference between giving to the victim of such afflictions the sympathy which is his due, and giving him honour and reward—reward which he cannot earn, and honour which ho cannot worthily wear. Mr. Kavanagh as a pri vate gentleman, claiming the sympathy and goodwill of his friends and neighbours, is in quite a different position from Mr. Kavanagh as a public man claiming the admira tion of Courts and Parliaments. As a private man, labour ing under terrible physical defects, Mr. Kavanagh cannot help himself, and so cannot be blamed—but when he goes to care and cost in order To exhibit himself on the most public platform the country affords, then, if he does not turn his misfortunes into faults, ho does something to for feit sympathy and provoke criticism. It may seem a harsh thing to say—but is itnot a plain fact ?—that the character in which he goes to Parliament is that of a curiosity. It was bad taste in him to seek such a position—it was both a frivolity and a cruelty in the constituency to give it him. Dramatic, Equestrian, and Musical Sick Fund Association. WANTON CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—Martin Young, aged 25, a carman, of 40, Carolina-street, Ratcliff, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with cruelly beating a horse. Mr. Love, of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, attended for the prosecution. It appeared from tho evidence of Stephen Emmerton, a police-constable, No. 483 K, that there was some confusion and delay among the horses and carts, and other vehicles, in Ilatcliff, near the water side, yesterday afternoon. A horse and Van belonging to the Midland Counties Railway Company were near a gateway, and caused a partial block. The prisoner, who was in charge of another horse and cart, wantonly, and without necessity or provocation, made a savage onslaught on the Midland Counties Railway Com pany's horse and beat it over the head and nozo with the butt-end of his whip. E mmer ton interposed, and took the prisoner into custody. Mr. Partridge—Did he strike the horse very hard? Witness—As hard as he was able. Mr. Partridge asked the prisoner what ho had to say in his defence, and he muttered a few words to the effect that he was very sorry ; on which the magistrate said he had no right to touch the horse at all, and that it was under the care of another man, It was a most impolitic, unwise thing to strike a horse upon the head and nose, and was also very cruel. Ito fined the prisoner 405., and in default of payment one month's imprisonment. ANOTHER CASE.—Stephen Rowell, aged 35, a tradesman of No. 2, Eliza-terrace, Tredegar-road, flow, surrendored before Mr. Partridge to answer a charge of cruelly torturing a horse by working the same in poor condition. Mr. Love also attended in this case on behalf of the Royal Society. This case was originally before Mr. Paget last week, and it was then proved by Police-constable Nicholas, 30 IT, that the defendant was working a horse in a cart. There were several raw wounds on the animal, and it was suffering dreadfully. The horse could scarcely draw the cart to which it was yoked, and was in an exceedingly poor condition. The prisoner said he had swapped another horse for the one the magistrate had looked at in the sta tion-house yard, and had been cheated in the exchange. Mr. Paget said the horse was in a shocking condition, it was torture to work it in the state it was in, and it was only fit for the knacker's yard. It was no excuse that the prisoner had been cheated into the purchase of an unsound horse full of wounds that he was to work it and torture it. lie would remand the prisoner on his own recognis ance, and it would depend on what was clone in the interim whether he should inflict a fine or not. Nicholas, the constable, now stated that the horse had been killed. The prisoner said he had been a very groat loser by tho horso. blr. Partridge said the prisoner had acted properly in causing the horse to bo killed, It was monstrous to work the horse in the state - it was represented to be. He should now discharge the prisoner, MARKETS.--This day. MARK LANL, Fresh-up to our market to-day the arrivals of English wheat were only moderate, and in but middling condition.

The eleventh annual meeting of the members, patrons, and subscribers of this society, took place yesterday in the Grand Saloon of the Theatre-Royal, Drury-lane, which was kindly granted for the occa sion by Mr. F. B. Chatterton. Mr. "B. WEBSTER, the president of the association, occupied the chair. The report, which was read by Mr. J. W. Anson, stated that the committee had' during the past year made considerable improvements in the working of the institution, which would in future add consider ably to the annual profits, which during the past year had amounted to £lO5 6s. 2d. ; making total cash balance at the society's banker's of £1,633 7s. 2d. In conclusion the report congratulated the members l i on being, happily through the past year, which had been one of great difficulty, distress, and sickness, and referred with gratitude to the legacy of £54115. Id., left to the charity by the late Mr. W. Field, and soli cited such kind remembrance from other friends. The CHAIRMAN, in the course of his remarks, al luded to the pleasure it gave him in advocating the claims of any institution which benefited his profes sion, more particularly of this society, which met ne cessities that the funds of none other provided for, namely, assisting persons in endeavouring to obtain situations ; and many of its benefits were also freely accorded to non-subscribers; he therefore urged upon those present to push forward the good wcrk with vigour, in order to still further assist those who were struggling to obtain a position in their profession, which he trusted they eventually would do. They all had the battle of life to fight, and if they went ear -1 neatly to work they would stand the best chance of prospering in the end. (Cheers.) Mr. J. W. ANsoN, the hon, secretary, said that the wants of the society were felt far and wide, and the applications for assistance were met in the most liberal manner ; and in many instances in which members of the profession were overtaken by sickness, whether residing one or 100 miles away from the offices of the society, the same post carried the means of alleviating their distress. During the past year they had granted 29 loans for journeys, relieved 31 cases of distress, administered to 860 days of sickness, and made allowances for 7 funerals ; and during the 10 years just ended they had granted 446 loans for journeys, relieved 254 cases of distress, and administered to 6,190 days of sickness. (Cheers.) In conclusion, he begged to move that the sum of £5 ss. be granted as a donation to the sufferers by the late fire at the Standard Theatre, none of whom, unfortunately, were members of the society, which in the event of such being the case, would have had the power of granting the same amount to every individual mem ber who was a sufferer. The vote was unanimously accorded, and the re port having been unanimously received and adopted, the officers of the institution for the ensuing year were duly elected, and the proceedings terminated with the customary votes of thanks. TIIE EQUALISATION OF THE METROPOLITAN POOR RATES.—Last evening, at the usual weekly meeting of the guardians for the Strand Union, the subject of the equalisation of the metropolitan poor rates was brought under discussion. Mr. Wilkinson occupied the chair. Mr. Bonham, who had given notice of motion on the subject, moved "That the board, as the guardians of the Strand union of parishes, should enter upon the minutes a resolu tion agreeing with the justice of equalising the poor rates in the metropolis." He said it behoved the guardian's to take action in this matter, as there could be no doubt that iu the next session au alteration would be attempted in the poor-law, and this question would form part of the subject which would come before Parliament. Mr. George seconded the motion, which was supported by Mr. Iledgcock, Mr. Cornish, Mr. Winter, and othergentlemen, and was agreed to unanimously.
