T, creation of £1,500,000 stock, "to take priority over 411 other stock and debentures, and to be a first charge on til ° whol eo f the undertaking, " will involve a new charge t 475,000 a year, in addition to the £35,000 a year for the jetftia-station improvements about to become chargeable "Pon revenue which together represent an expenditure LMore than one-half the net amount of earnings for the a w ar e nding 30th June last o n th e w h o l e o f th e under to—Lngs• It will never do for the main line shareholders Permit this expenditure of £1,500,000 to be entirely t linde r the control of mere representatives of the metropo dtau extension or other sections, contributing little or nothing to revenue. It appears to be the intention of the to place th e debentures o f the eastern section and Y " l ines on an equa l footing with the main line deben ilti,reN and to p rov id e f or payment o f two years ' interest on are "se equally w i t h the others. These payments of interest "PeCted to absorb aut L 300,000 out of the —1 ,500,000 . If trustees are bo : appointed to control the expenditure of the portion for which this section may become liable, it would appear to be very much in the to of th e b on dh o l ders secured on the main line capital (° consent to the priority over them and the delayed pay kent of their principal sums. The creation of the deben ture stock conditionally and for purposes of conversion O nly would likewise be advantageous to them. The effort to take the affairs of the company out of Chancery and to au sliend litigation should certainly bo made, and might be ucc omplished if the new capital be obtained. The funds t ° be raised should be under the control of trustees for the pu rposes and maintenance of the proportions assigned to e ach section. The trustees should be selected from the representative bodies of the several sections. But the pro posal . to make "all future" debentures and the deben- L ur e stock to be a charge pan/ passu on the whole of a." 46 un dertaking," would appear to be most objectionable, of W hy should new debentures, chargeable on the whole t : Lae undertaking s , be givento the holdersof Eastern Sec :" Debentures, who will be unable to contribute any re nue to the income of the company, their bonds being at ere % . , nz secured only on their particular undertaking . ?

No sanction should be hope en to the Parliamentary scheme until the shareholders under their consideration the scheme for amalgam ,.,ll of the sections with the general undertaking therein ete•••.. • b ., 'AIM to, It is impossible otherwise to understand the I,are and extent of the powers sought to be obtained from tiLartuainent for these purposes. A very serious and tilti ng element in determining the questions am ti th e , the shareholders at present arises from met that the various Acts of Parliament confer powers 8 VC% the h olders of the Metropolitan Extension and other th e to vo t e on a l l questions affecting the interests of of ° ' n ein line shareholder; and it is understood that so me Sli ps finance companies, money lenders, and representa -1/4: of the estates of ruined speculators, are holders of a mounts, and that their support is pretty well as oF'd to the new b oard as representatives of those sections eattlo u ndertaking; on the other hand, the main lin e it 4 41 generally is i n th e name o f b ona fide holders, and unite ca "les the m ore urgen tl y necessary th a t th ey s h ou ld and it tld be represented equally with the debenture holders other portio ns o f th e un d er t a ki ng w hi c h ha ve ad eit;t7 inte rests and voting powers. Besides tho watchful revellecessary on the part of the main line . shareholders i n bag th t . t ° Parliamentary and Chancery proceedings affect bet interests, interests, there are most serious questions existing Ory eta l l the main line and the Kent coast, Sevenoaks, and et r i et Palace and South London Thtilways, demanding 0 4% 14411 7.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) HUNTER V. SHARP-LIBEL. The hearing of this case was resumed this morning, and the following evidence in addition to that of the plaintiff, which was concluded yesterday, was adduced. Dr. Paterson said he resided in Cavendish-road, St. John's-wood, and he bad consulting rooms in Welbeck street, and his only medical qualification was his diploma from the College of Physicians, in New York, and he had seen the diploma of Dr. Hunter. Evidence was then given of the absence of a gentleman named Leo Contorso being absent from the country, and whose testimony was considered to bo material. Dr. Henry Melville said he was a physician, and had taken his degree at Edinburgh. lie knew Dr. Hunter at New York iu 1853. Dr. Hunter's practice as consulting phySician in pulmonary diseases was so large that he had employed himself and other medical men to assist him. He remained with Dr. Hunter until 1851, when he 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, arid 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 he 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 had a large practice in this country, and he was very suc cessful. The Lord Chief Justice—Was the success on the part of the physician or the patient? (Laughter.) Witness —Certainly, the patient himself. He gene -rally saw the patient, and when that could not ho done he and Dr. Hunter acted on the best information they could obtain, and sometimes they acted on the diagnosis of the disease as supplied by the patient himself. That was iu 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 again adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. A Political "Biffin." The Scotsman of Monday contains the following extraordinary comment upon the preference shown by the electors of Wexford for Mr. Kavanagh, for whose sake Mr. Pope Hennessy was (to very gene ral regret) rejected. The House is certainly begin ning to number up its curiosities. It now com prises among its members an Albino of rhre genius, both as an orator and as a statesman ! A Blind philosopher (one physically blind, that is) in the person of Professor Fawcett ! [Pity it could not include a few Dumb members by way of variety !] And now—to judge from this distressing article copied by us from the Scotsman, it adds to the number of its curiosities one only describable with anything like terseness and accuracy as a Political " Bitlin " The return of an armless and legless man as the Parliamentary representative of one of the greatest Irish counties is an event worthy of more note than has been bestowed upon it, both for what it is in itself and for what it indicates or symbolises. 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 even 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 contrary, his principles are unpopular, and he is impotent to promete 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 hoar 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 duo, and giving him honour and reward—reward which he cannot earn, and honour Which he 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, he does something to for feit sympathy and provoke criticism. It may seem a harsh thing to say—but is it not a plain fact ?—that the character in which he goes to Parliament is that of a curiosity. It MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STRIPPING CHILDREN.— Two 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 Hoepital 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. Re 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 one 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. 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 Assocation. (THIS DAY). NEWMARKET. 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 'ion by Mr. F. B. Chatterton. Mr. B. WEBSTER, the president of the association, occupied the chair. The report, whicT 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 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 £54 11s. Id., left to the charity by the late Mr. W. Field, and soli cited such kind remembrance from other friend's. 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 nou-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 nestly 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 funeral: ; and during the 10 years just ended they had granted 446 loans for journeys, relieved 254 cases of distress, and administer ed 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. THE 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 guardians to take action in this matter, as there could be no doubt that in the next session an 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. Hedgcock, Mr. Cornish, Mr. Winter, and othergentlemon, and was agreed to unanimously. MORE RELICS OF SIR JOHN FRANKLIN._A letter just received from St. John's, New Brunswick, states that a part of the crew of the American whale ship Antelope, lost on Niantelik Island, October 6, had just arrived on the steamers Wolf and Lion. The officers of the Antelope bring interesting information of discoveries made by C. F. Hall respecting the Franklin expedition. Mr. Hall Las in his possession a gold watch, some gold spoons, and other relics, supposed to have belonged to the Franklin party. He also learned that the remains of some of Franklin's mon were lying under a boat in Committee Bay, where they had been placed by the natives after death. The na tives would not permit Mr. Hall to go on to examine them, but as several vessels will winter in Repulse Bay, it is be lieved Mr. Hall will secure assistance, and push his way where the remains are situated.—New York Tri6une,l,rov.l3.

WANTON CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—Martia Young, aged 25, a carman, of 40, Carolina-street, Thttcliff, 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 tho horses and carts, and other vehicles, in Ratcliff, 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 oh the Midland Counties Railway Com pany's horse and beat it over the head and nose with the butt-end of his whip. Emmerton 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 he 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. ll° 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, Bow, surrendered beforeMr.Partridg e 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 H, 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. He would remand the prisoner on his own recognis ance, and it would depend on what was done in the interim whether he should inflict a„fine or not. Nicholas, the constable , now statedthat the horse h a d been killed. The prisoner said he had b2en a very groat loser by tho horse. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner had acted properly in causing the horse to be killed. It was monstrous to work the horse in the state it was represented to be. He should now discharge the prisoner, MARKETS.---This clay. MARK LANh. Fresh-up to our market to - day the arrivals of English wheatwemil and moderate, and in b u t m i ddl i ng condition.

The Grand Metropolitan Steeplechase, one of the last great races of the season, has just added an other laurel to the many obtained this season by the writer in The Sun. So nutnerous have been his successes in spotting winners of great events, that those who have followed his p re di ctions must be on the right si le of the ledger. There has not been a great handicap ran this year but in the first three he has selected the winner turned I T . In the Derby, the Two Thousand, the One Thou sand, the Oaks, the Ascot Cup, Goodwood Cup, and Doncaster Leger, he his named the, winner. In the Chester Cup, Ascot Stakes, Goodwood Stakes, Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire Stakes, he named the winners ; and, to close the season, he has actually placed the first and second to-day for one of the most uncertain races of the ,season. Mostly the whole of the Loudon prophets are " floored to a man." To show that genuine and exclusive information is to be got, we will conclude by quoting " The Fresh Mau's" prophecy of last Monday, when it will be seen that he actually placed the first and second : The only other one with any attraction for me is Globule, who has been reserved to do a good thing, and may be successful here.

A Surgeon, dating from Sloane-street, thus wrote the other day to the Times:— At midday to-day, in the public street, in front of my own house, and in view of a crowd of horrified spectators, was enacted one of those brief, but awful, tragedies of which crinoline has been the too fruitful author. It being generally the lot of mem- hers of my profession to make their appearance at a later period of the drama, suffer me, Who on this occasion was almost at its commencement, to tell you what happened. I had just alighted at my own door at 12 this morning, when I heard two or three piercing cries in the street, and on running round the corner I saw a young woman standing on a doorstep so en tirely covered with flames that only her uplifted hands and her feet were visible. With the aid of a rug and a great coat instantly given by a passer-by we got the poor young creature down on the pave ment, and in a few minutes every spark of fire was crushed out. We then doubled up a blanket, and with the tender help of one or two strong fellows I took her as on a stretcher to a cab close at hand. The cabman refused to take the poor girl, and no remonstrance of mine or of others would induce him to open his door. As no time was to be lost (and no policeman naturally was at hand), I immediately cleared out my own brougham, and, gently laying the miserable, half-charred girl on the knee of the man who helped me to extinguish the flames, I mounted the coach-box and drove to St. George's Hospital. There I immediately obtained admission for her, and we softly placed her in bed, scorched and blistered from h ea d t oo foot. She was--need I say it ?—in horrible agony, but conscious, and gave her own simple account of the event perfectly clearly. ller half-burnt rags of clothing were care fully cut away ; and, covered with cotton wool, dressed and swathed after the kindest and skilful lest method, she lay an awful wreck of what half an-hour previously had been a handsome, well grown young woman. This was the work of a few terrible minutes at mid-day, and I have this even ing just been to see the poor young thing die.

Then, when we had her on the pavement, it was for me to learn how hard a matter it is to put out all a woman's burning clothes. I found no difficulty in putting out the blaze, but her poor limbs lay in a heap of red-hot tinder. Only resolute pressing out was of any avail, and I was obliged to get several me in squeezing out the horrible fire whi c h clung i t s o t what was left of her clothes. What was iliterally left ?
