MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BRUTAL ATTACK ON THE POLlCE.—Eugene Stack, a rough fellow, was charged, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with stealing some articles, the property of Edward Hinds, of 22, Fitzroy-market, and violently assaulting police-con stable Rogers, 87 E, and Robertson, 70 E ; and James Smith, a powerfully-built young man, was charged with violently assaulting the same constables, and attempting to rescue Stack. Caroline Hands, of 22, Fitzroy-market, said—Yesterday afternoon I saw Stack coming from my kitchen with something under his coat. I afterwards missed a shirt and other articles. I afterwards went with 87 E and gave Stack into custody. He then knocked the constable down and kicked him violently. John Rogers, 87 E, said—About six o'clock yesterday evening I was called to take Stack into custody, on suspicion of stealing a shirt. Ho said it would take the loser all his time to find the article. Ho then went a little way quietly, but afterwards said ho would go no further, threw himself on the ground, pulled my feet from under me, and threw me back, and my head came in contact with the kerb. I got up and we had a struggle, and he then knocked me down at least a dozen times, and kicked me all over the body. Smith then came up and took hold of my armlet, and pulled me away from Stack several times, got my truncheon from me, and struck me several times with it on the arms, covering them with bruises. Another person not in custody then came up and got his hand down my stock and nearly strangled me. The struggle continued for about three-quarters of an hour, and on another constable coming up, Stack became more violent than before, knocking us down several times, and Smith and the other man jumped on our backs. Our hats and belts were taken from us. At last several constables came to our assistance, and the prisoners were taken to the station. The following certificate was handed to Mr. Tyrwhitt : "This is to certify that John Rogers 87 E is suffering from contusions, and is unfit for duty. "GEORGE Ross, M.D., Surgeon To the E Division of Metropolitan Police. " 11, Hant-street " Edward Robertson, 70 E—Seeing that 87 E was being badly used in John-street, Tottenham-court-road, last night, I went to his assistance. I found they had got him down, and were knocking him about and kicking him. I caught hold of Stack, when he struck me on the forehead and got me down and kicked me in the ribs. Smith then jumped on my back, and I had to leave go of Stack, and then Stack kicked me several times. At last the prisoners were got to the station. A similar certificate to the one above was here put in. John Burgess, 83 E, corroborated a great portion of the above evidence, and said there was a crowd of at least 800 persons assembled, and the staff and belt of Rogers were taken away. He took Smith to the station. Mr. John Burrows, of 76, John-street, Tottenham-court road, house decorator—l saw Stack and Rogers down Stack ill-used Rogers by kicking and striking him, and trying to bite him. I assisted in holding him till assistance came. I was knocked down several times, and saw Smith active in hDunding on Stack's associates to illuse the constable. Smith pulled the constable from Stock several times, and had the constable's staff and belt in his hand. 1 got the staff and belt from him, and took them to the station. Mr. Tyrwhitt—The magistrates are always obliged to the inhabitants who come forward in these cases. It is for the sake of the constables as well as the inhabitants. Mr. W. Barton, of 3, Hanley-grove, Pimlico, having given similar evidence to Mr. Burrows, Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoners, both of whom, it was stated, bad been several times in custody for violent assaults on the police.

Two special general meetings of this company were held yesterday at the Bridge-house Hotel, Lon don-bridge, at which the Hon. J. Bynrs, the chair man, presided. _ _ Mr: Smiles, the secretary, read the first notice convening a special meeting in accordance with the stv nding orders of the House of Lords, for the pur pose of considering a bill for authorising the South- Eastern Railway Company to make new• lines of railway by way of extension of their railway at Greenwich, and thence to Woolwich and at Cran brook respectively, to acquire additional lands, to raise further moneys, and for other purposes. Mr. Toogcod, the solicitor, read the heads of the bill. The CHAIRMAN, in moving a formal resolution, approving the bill, explained that the project had met with some opposition in Parliament, in the course of which the authorities of the Admiralty had indicated the course of a line to which they would not object, and consequently the committee on the bill had sanctioned both ends of the line, leaving the suggested deviation from the objection, able portion of the line at Greenwich-park to be settled hereafter between the authorities and the company. Mr. WATKIN, M.P., seconded the motion. Mr. ADAMS moved an amendment to the effect that all further proceedings with respect to the bill be postponed. On a show of hands the CHAIRMAN declared the amendment lost, and the motion for the approval of the bill carried. He said it would be necessary to take a poll, which would be commenced imme diately and closed at 4 o'clock. The result would be declared the next day at noon. Mr. G. Smith and Mr. S. Kerr were appointed scrutineers. The CHAIRMAN said that the second special gene ral meeting of which notice had been given, was to be held in compliance with a requisition signed by Mr. J. J. Hamilton, and nearly 200 other proprietors. A requisition signed by 30 proprietors, holding £2,000 stock each, or altogether £60,000 ordinary stock in the company, would have been sufficient ; but in consequence of the circulars issued by the proprietor at the head of the list, 197 proprietors out of the 4,860 constituting the company had signed it, some of them being large shareholders, and representing in the whole about £300,000 stock in the company. The Secretary then read the second notice, which ,stated that the meeting was convened in compliance with the terms of a requisition presented to the Board signed by the legal number of proprietors holding an ample amount of stock, for the purpose of appointing a committee of investigation to in quire into the following transactions—viz., the sale of the steamer Eugenie, the purchases of the steamers Victoria, Albert Edward, and Alexandria, the sale of the steamer Queen of the French, the contract for the construction of the line from Lewisham to Tunbridge, and the traffic arrange ments with the London, Chatham, and Dover Rail way Company. The CHAIRMAN remarked that owing to the state ments and persistent course adopted by Mr. Hamil ton in his circulars and letters to the shareholders, it appeared that many persons had been persuaded that something must be wrong in connexion with the company's affairs. The Board thought it de- Bitable that some of the largest propri , Aors who had supported Mr. Hamilton's requisition by their signa ture should be also on the committee of inves tigation, and he hoped the shareholders would agree to it. There were legal proceedings now pending against Mr. Hamilton and others in respect of very serious allegations made against some of the direc tors and officers of the company, and it was there fore desirable that nothing should be done by the proprietors which would interfere with those legal proceedings. The directors were anxious for the most searching and ample inquiry, which he trusted would convince every reasonable person that there was no ground whatever for these allegations. It was proposed, in accordance with the requisition, that three of the largest holders of stock in the com pany should be appointed a committee, including two proprietors who had signed the requisition, to undertake the inquiry, and report the result of their investigation to a future meeting of the company, so as not to interfere with orprejudice legalproceedings. Mr. A. BEATTIE, a director, said he would second the motion, and stated that they had been= legally advised to postpone the appointment of the committee, but the directors were anxious that these unfounded charges should be completely refuted. The CHAIRMAN then read a telegram from Mr. Wood, of Liverpool, who held £5,000 stock in the company, expressing an opinion that the Board should demand the most ample investigation of the libels and allegations that had been urged against them and the officers of the company. Mr. BEAVIS, a large holder of shares in the com pany for 20 years, said he believed that Mr. Hamil ton was entirely mistaken in his views, and that the result of the inquiry would prove the whole thing to be a cock-and-bull story. He trusted they would appoint a committee of six or seven, instead of a committee of three, as proposed. Mr. G. SMITH said that so far as he could ascer tain from the books and accounts of the company, and he had gone through them very carefully, to say the least of it, the allegations were a tissues of mistakes. He had verified the statements in the books, which showed how every penny had been dis posed of and placed to the credit of the company. He had also verified the items by access to the books of respectable houses with whom they had done business. Mr. limn then proposed that Mr. Bibby, of Liverpool, who, with his brother, held £150,000 stock in the company, and had not signed the requi sition, and Mr. C. Haig, of Rochdale, who held £BO,OOO, and Mr. J. Chadwick, of Manchester, who held £30,000 stock in the company, both hav ing signed Mr. Hamilton's requisition, be appointed the committee of investigation. Mr. HAMILTON said he preferred appointing his own committee, particularly as he had been intrusted with 1,200 proxies, representing something like £2,000,000 of capital in the country. He concluded by moving that a committee be appointed with full powers to investigate every matter and thing speci fied in the requisition, and to examine persons, books, &c. Mr. ADA3IS seconded the motion. After some observations by Mr. Claypole and other proprietors in favour of a full investigation, Mr. WATKIN, deputy-chairman, gave a full ex planation of the various libellous matters that had been published and were now pending legal pro ceedings. He said this was a time in the history of the company that required the utmost care and at tention en the part of directors and shareholders with regard to the proper conduct of their affairs. They would soonhave a total capital of £20,000,000 to deal with, and so would the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company soon have their lines completed, and. also a capital of £20,000,000. It was therefore of the utmost consequence that agree ments between the two companies should be very carefully framed, so as to be mutually beneficial, and that the directors should be enabled to do the best they could for the proprietors under the cir cumstances in which Parliament had placed the com pany. _ _ _ The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution for the ap pointment of a committee consisting of three of the largest shareholders, two of them having signed the requisition to investigate thetransactions mentioned, and to make their report so soon as in their opinion it would be desirable to do so, considering the legal proceedings pending, Upou which Mr. HAMILTON moved his amend ment ; but on a show of hands the original motion was carried. Mr. HAMILTON demanded a poll, which was opened at once, the result to be declared at noon this day. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings. RAILWAY BILLS. In the Commons yssterday, before the Committee of Ways and Means, the Ognore Valley and Ely Valley Extension, the Blane Valley, the North of England Union, the Strathspey, the Great North ern (junctions at Newark, &e.), the Swansea and Aberystwith Junction, the Ogmore Valley, No. 1, and the South= were passed. In Group 9, the case of the Midland (Barnsley to Kirkbarton) bill was opened, and evidence for the promoters taken. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English wheat were small. Owing to the fineness of the weather and the favourable accounts respecting the crops, the trade was very inactive both for red and white produce. In prices very little change took place, but their tendency was decidedly in favour of buyers. With foreign wheat the market was fairly supplied. Generally speaking, sales progressed slowly, but prices ruled stationary. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at late rates. The market was very moderately supplied with barley, yet the trade ruled quiet on former terms. Malt was in slow request at late rates. The supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. Good and fine qualities were firm in price, otherwise the trade was dull. Beans and peas ruled firm, at full currencies. There was a steady demand for flour, at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.

The Diamond Company's steamer Kaffraria, Captain Cummings, arrived here this evening from the Cape with 53 passengers, a general cargo, and a mail. She left Natal on April 27 ; Algoa Bay, May 3 ; Table Bay, 6 ; and St. Helena, 15. The war excitement along the frontier has proved to have been the consequence of a false alarm. The uneasiness at Grahamstown, however, was so great that the members of Parliament in that city urged the Governor to move to the frontier at once, and to postpone the assembly of Parlia ment, which was summoned to meet at Capetown on the 27th April. Sir P. E. Wodehouso replied that all the information received of late went to show that the frontier panic was unfounded, and that the excitement caused by it was dying out. The Government, he said, did not believe that the Fingoes, if they were not molested, would rise against them. For some weeks increasing efforts had been made to agitate the public by rumours and misrepresentations. The proper place for his explanation was, he said, in Parliament, and he declined to create more distrust and cause incon venience by postponing the meeting. The Gover nor's reply created another excitement in Grahams town, and an indignation meeting was held at which resolutions deprecating the course followed by his frankly rl x naal excellency l ad l lot e yepi n sve c seint y naea w tdtffeh e cia oe r i ehrncecolony , adopted. l:roheneay s,o2ne7 ast shf t disapprovedo AaThenhrdar having west.

Arbuth not, both of the Home-office, but without extra salary. The late Sir Joseph Paxton. The announcement of Sir Joseph Paxton's death will be received throughout the country with sincere regret. He rose from the ranks to be the greatest gardener of his time, the founder of a new style of architecture, and a man of genius, who devoted it to objects in the highest and noblest sense popular. England is the nursing mother of self-made men, and in this generation the milliner of them has been greater than in any former age. They bring them selves to the front by their natural force, often in spite of many obstacles due to defective early training and education. Society benefits enormously by their achievements, and would, perhaps, be grateful if it knew how; but as a class they are difficult to deal with, and there is something to be said for the indif ferent treatment which they too often receive at its hands. Paxton's great good fortune threw him among persons and engaged him upon objects which made his case from the commencement excegiond in this respect. Though humbly born, he was still a young man, and in the employ of the Royal Horti cultural Society, when he attracted the attention of the late Duke of Devonshire; and it is a striking example of the opportunities which men of high rank possess of winning reputation that thelouse of Ca vendish should have had a sensible addition made to its lustre by the judicious selection of a gardener. Under the skill of Paxton the wild Derbyshire region in which Chatsworth stands became the wonderful place which drew visitors from far and near, and set the example of that princely development of grounds and pleasances which now marks the country homes of the great English families. Its fountains and Italian terraces ; its rich woods laid out with such marvellous care ;_ its hothouses, where the Victoria Regia was first compelled to blossom ; and the great conservatory, which was the precursor of the Crystal Palaces in Hyde Park and at Sydenham—all are now become familiar objects of admiration. But while Chatsworth attracted the loftiest personages as visitors, its grounds were still left freely open to the dense manufacturing popula tions close at hand, and Paxton used always to dwell proudly upon this trait in the character of " my Duke," as he called him, who was willing to share with the humblest of his countrymen his own pas sion for flowers. It was as a gardener that Paxton first made a name for himself ; but it was in the large sense of the word, as one who by a kind of in stinct had the, beautiful in nature at command to embellish the landscape, and without the ordinary processes of scientific study had practically all the laws of plant life at his call. In these delightful pursuits a vigorous, kindly, and sensitive disposition expanded congenially. He had many friends, but they belonged to no set, or party, or clique ; nor was there any thing narrow or sectarian about the man in his rela tions with other men. Friendship was a plant which he loved to cultivatewherever it would grow —among the nobly born if they sought him ; among literary men and artists, with whom he had close and cherished relations ; among the great captains of in dustry, who appreciated and were proud of him ; but most of all among younger men than himself whom he could help or cheer on their path through life. When the scheme of the first Great Exhibition threatened to fall through for want of a suitable building, this was the man who stepped forward to solve the difficulty. The architects and the engi neers had brought matters to a dead lock, and a great national fiasco, the most humiliating thing that could happen to a practical people like ours, seemed imminent. Then Paxton came with his simple but comprehensive design, and all difficulty vanished. The genial gardener was so clearly and unmistakeably right in what he proposed, and he had so many backers in every direction, that, as if Pro spero's wand had waved, opposition vanished. The fairy structure was erected, and, as all the world well reme'nbers, the greatest triumph of the Great Exhi bition was loudly proclaimed to be the building. So scrongly was this felt at the time that a vigorous effort was made to retain it permanently where it stood, and in this Paxton, now Sir Joseph Paxton, strenu ously joined. But the effort failed. The House of Commons would have the Park restored to its pre vious state, and there can be no doubt now that the House decided wisely. While at Kensington the Commissioners of 1851 and the Horticultural Society are struggling with the almost hopeless difficulties of a garden no longer suburban and closely hedged in on every side with chimneys, the old Crystal Palace, removed to the first slope of the Surrey hills, and re constructed there amidst terraces and fountains, and a landscape of surpassing beauty and extent, is a thing by itself in the whole world. It has cost a mil lion and a half of money, but bit by bit its self-sup porting character becomes more firmly established. The railways are every day making it more and more accessible to the huge population of London. Music is getting reconciled to a glass and iron home there, and all this has been done with the money of the people, for their own instruction and recreation, mainly by Paxton. He had many fellow workers, and he was not the man to deny any of them their share, but he was the foremost among them, and we best show our estimate of his performance when we take foreigners there to see and wonder. This was Paxton's " magnum opus," and will now be his monu ment. He built several great country houses; he was a director of the Midland Railway, and engaged in other commercial and industrial undertakings. Dur ing the Crimean War he organised a Navvy Corps, which did excellent service in road-making and other works for the army. Ho was also a Member of Parliament, having represented Coventry, as a Liberal, since 1854. But in none of these respects does his name claim more than a passing notice. His real title to the regrets of his contempararies and the regard of those who come after, is the work which he did as a gardener and garden architect, the impulse which he has given to the love of the beautiful in nature, especially among our great town populations ; above all, the English breadth and genuineness of his character, which made him the object of affectionate regard to so many friends. Sir Joseph died yesterday morning at 8 o'clock at his house, close to the Crystal Palace. He had been very ill there for some months past, but his end came suddenly at last. He was not more than 62 years of age, and was a native of Bedfordshire. The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday comprised an influx of £15,000 in bar gold, and the withdrawal of 150,000 sovereigns for shipment to the Brazils by the Oneida, which takes out £165,480. • The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap pointed Monday, the 12th June, a special settling day in the Imperial Ottoman Five per Cent. Loan 1865, which is to be officially quoted as Scrip and fully paid-up Scrip. During the last few days there has not been much animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Sugars have In some instances declined about 6d. per cwt., while superior qualities of coffee have fully maintained previous rates. Tea has been neglected, while few dealings of importance have taken place in rice, fruit, or wines. Tallow has remained inactive, with little variation to re port as regards value for either present or forward delivery. Notice has been given by the Atlantic and Great Western Railway Company that the coupons of the New York division First Mortgage Bonds, the Pennsylvania division Second Mortgage Bonds, the Ohio division Second Mortgage Bonds, will be paid on the Ist July, at the rate of 4s. to the dollar, by the Consolidated Bank. The new Belgian 4f per cent. loan of GO millions for public works is to be issued on sealed tenders, a minimum being however fixed by the Minister of Finance. The interest will date from the Ist of May, and the pay ments be made in four instalments —on the 15th June, lst November, 1865, Ist May and Ist November, 1866, a dis count of 21 per cent. will be allowed on payments in anticipation.

The SPZUCER took the chair at half-past 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed —Glasgow and South Western Railway (Additional Powers), London and North Western Railway (Additional Powers, England), and South Wales and Great Western Direct Railway. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were con sidered and agreed to :—Belfast Gas, Bristol and Exeter Railway, Bristol Joint Station, Carnarvon New Water, Great Eastern and London and Blackwall Railways, llam mersmith.and City Railway, London and South Western Railway (New Lines in Surrey), London and South Western Railway (Pirbright, Aldershot, and Farnham Junction), and London and South Western Railway (Tor rington Extension). PRISONS' BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. The remaining clauses were agreed to. On the schedule relating to punishment, Mr. 11113NDAY thought that power should be given to inflict severe punishment on women, more than was done at present. He proposed an amendment, allowing the hair to be cut short in extreme cases. Mr. BRISCOE opposed the amendment. Mr. BARROW said that extreme cases did sometimes occur. He knew of a case where a woman of the most violent temper was confined in jail, and the authorities were powerless to prevent her screaming and singing obscene songs at the top of her voice. Sir D. LEIGHTON said he was aware of a case where a woman was so violent that it was necessary to put her in irons and handcuffs to protect the prison officers from her violence. She remained in that state for fourteen days before she begged pardon. On another occasion she threatened the matron, and told her she had not the power to flog her. However, the matron, who had just at this time resigned her appointment as she was going to be married, hearing the woman going on in the most disorderly manner went into the ward and gave her a sound flogging, and she never created a disturbance again. The conduct of the matron was illegal, that he knew, and she would have been discharged had matters been different ; but the matter showed that severe punish ment,had its virtue. A division, however, took place on the clause, the original amendmout having been withdrawn fn favour of inserting some words suggested by the hon. member for Northampton. Ayes Noes 39 Majority The amendment was negatived. With respect to the religious instruction of prisoners, Sir G. GREY said the provisions of the Prison Ministers Act was embodied in the bill under discussion. According to which each prisoner on entering a prison was called upon to state his belief. There was no compulsory attendance required at particular periods by all prisoners at one place of religious instruction. The schedules and preamble were then agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be reported to the house with amend ments. The report was ordered to be brought up on Thursday next. The sitting of the house was then suspended. SPORTING NOTES. THE FRENCH GRAND DE PRIX. It is currently reported that Chat-and-no-go is going to run for the above valuable stake, and that the horse is very likely to win. It is to be hoped, for the honour of the English Turf, that the rumour is without foundation; forif Chattanooga should defeat Gladiateur in France, what will they say in England in regard to the way the horse was performed on in both the Two Thousand and Derby ? However, there is no accounting for the wonderful things that take place nowadays on the turf, as Blink Bonny, be longing to Mr. I'Anson, run nowhere in the Two Thou sand, won the Derby and also the Oaks, beating Imperieuso by nearly half a mile, but the latter beat the former easily in the St. Leger. The same happened with File de l'Air, who ran nowhere in the Two Thousand, but won the Oaks easily. A FRESH MAN.

HANDEL FESTIVAL.—The last but one of the chorus rehearsals of the London division of the Handel Festival Choir takes place at Exeter Hall this evening, when the choruses of the Selection day will be rehearsed. THE COUNT OF PARIS AND THE LATE PRESIDENT LINCOLN.—The following is a translation of a letter addressed by the Count de Paris to Mr. Sumner, relative to the death of President Lincoln :—"You were at the death bed of the good man so cruelly snatched from the affec tion and confidence of a great nation in the fatal night of the 14th April; you received the last sigh of him in whom all the friends of America saw the worthy representative of its free institutions. You will, then, understand why I ad dress myself to you to-day, and why, after having read the sad details of this frightful tragedy, I want to speak to you of my profound emotion, of my deep grief. I would not pretend to mingle my voice with all the testimonies of sincere sympathy which Europe is unanimous in offering to your citizens if the personal relations which I had with Mr. Lincoln, and which will henceforth be one of the most precious recollections of my youth, did not add in my case to the greatness of this public calamity. My brother and I shall always recall with gratitude the manner in which he received us, four years ago, in the Federal army, the oppor tunity which he then offered to us of serving a cause to which we were attached by our family traditions, oursym pathies as Frenchmen, and our political convictions. Those who knew Mr. Lincoln in those times of trial, in which everything seemed to conspire against the safety of the Republic, will not forget the simple and serious coun tenance of the honest man who, without personal arabi tion, ever sustained by the profound sentiment of his du ties, merited the enviable title of great citizen. And when the terrible crisis, during which the destinies of America were in his hands, shall belong to history, and the bloody trace of it shall have been effaced by the rapid develop ment of a reinvigorated nation and a regenerated society, men will remember the benefits which have survived him, of slavery destroyed and liberal institutions preserved, and do honour to Mr. Lincoln. In the contest against slavery his name will remain illustrious by those of the indefati gable apostles who fought before him and who will finish his work. But it will be said of him that he assured the maintenance of the Union, and passed through civil war without departing from the respect due to liberty and legality; and that in the hour of danger he was the first magistrate of a people prompt to recognise in the full exer cise of the largest liberty the inexhaustible source of the national energy and perseverance. Pardon me, Sir, this letter, a little too long, perhaps, but inspired, as you know, by sentiments which fill my heart, and believe he, I pray you, affectionately yours, LOUIS PHILIPPE D'ORLEANS." A Paris correspondent of the Journal de Oenve says that within the last few days Prince Napoleon, according to the statements of his friends at the Palais Royal and Meudon, " has returned to better sentiments, and that, instead of wishing to brave the Emperor, he i prepared to recognise the fault he has committed. He persists nevertheless in his resignation of the vice-presi dency of the Privy Council (which assuredly no one will object to), but ha will retain his functions as President o the Universal Exhibition. The resolution is all the more proper, inasmuch as the Prince of . Wale s, as president of the English Commission, would be forced to resign if Prince Napoleon did not again place himself at the head of the French Commission, the Print of W ales being unable to act on terms of equality except with a member of the imperial family. M. Landau, who represents at Turin the house of Rothschild of Paris, paid on the Ist June into the offices of the Treasury, on behalf of the Railway Company of Upper Italy, a sum of 25 millions, as the first instalment of the purchase money of the State railways. 100 1 0 1 , 0 10 100 47 } 851 6 9
