Hurst and Blackett, Publishers, 13, Great Marlborough-street. Provided with Patent Hook and Needle Guard, which prevents the breaking of thread and needle, is the only really A remarkable case came on for trial on Monday in the Court of Queen's Bench, Dublin. The plaintiff was a Roman Catholic clergyman, the Rev. Mr. O'Keefe, P.P. of Callan, County Kilkenny, and the defendant, the Rev. Mr. Walsh, was one of his own curates. It was an action for slander, and the words complained of were uttered at the altar in the plaintiff's chapel- Some misunderstanding arose between the plaintiff, his congregation, and his bishop in reference to the maintenance of national schools in the parish and the manner of appropriating a sum of £2lO collected at the doors during a special mission by the Oblate Fathers. The plaintiff made a statement in ex planation, which the defendant afterwards contradicted in strong terms, and stated that he was authorised to do so by the Bishop. The plaintiff complained of being charged with falsehood in the presence of his congregation, and having failed to obtain the satisfaction which he demanded from the Bishop, he brought an action against his diocesan. When it came into court the Bishop swore that he gave no authority to utter the words, and the plaintiff was nonsuited. He then took the present proceedings against the curate, after having, as he al leged, made other efforts to obtain redress. In the course of his examination he stated that since the action com menced he had been threatened with suspension if he persevered with it, and having been pressed by the de fendant's counsel he produced the following letter which he had received : SILENT LOCK - STITCH' SEWING MACHINE Admission, ls., or by Guinea Season Tickets.

Robert O'Keefe, P.P., Callan, " Rev. Sir,—From a subpoena served on me, and in other ways, I have become aware of your action at law against the Rev. John Walsh, to be tried before the Court of Queen's Bench, in Dublin. It is my duty to tell you that your proceeding is a grave offence against the sacred canons. Of course Ido not find fault with the lenient and impartial judges who preside in the court referred to, but, in common with every Catholic, I feel that respect for the discipline of your 'own Church should keep you from bringing your brother priest before any lay tribunal. Some communications already received from you leave me no grounds to hope that you will desist from your present pro ceeding by reason of any mere remonstrance of mine. At the same time it is my duty to employ the powers which I possess to stop it if I can. Therefore, I hereby command you to withdraw the case of the Rev. Robert O'Keefe against the Rev. John Walsh, in the Court of Queen's Bench, under pain of suspension ab o f ficio et beneficio, to be ipso facto incurred the moment your counsel begins to state the case to the Court and jury. —Your obedient servant, To avoid confusion on the day of publication, early orders are particularly requested, F.

The plan adopted has been to seek the wanderers in the streets of London and gather them together at the midnight hour, when short and faithful addresses have been given. During the present year the Meetings have been held nearly every week in some of the most frequented districts of the metropolis. The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have been most successful in effecting a great moral change in many fallen ones.

The establishment of an Engineering College at Cooper's Hill, Surrey, under the orders of the Secretary of State for India in Council, to which we referred a few clays Since, is, the Times says; an experiment, but one which, it may be maintained, has been proved necessary by the inexorable logic of facts. The annual outlay upon public works for the improvement of India now exceeds seven millions sterling ; and as the system of State rail ways has only just commenced, and the greater part of the country is yet without means of irrigation, while there is an almost unbounded demand for roads as railway feeders, the expenditure will probably continue at that rate at least for an indefinite time, whether supplied from the Imperial revenue or from local cesses. The staff of the department originally consisted wholly of military officers, principally of the Engineer Corps, but the demand outstripped the supply, and the civil element began to be introduced a quarter of a century since. The Roorkee College, established in 1847, sent forth a small supply of young engineers, European and Indian —principally the former ; and in 1856 the Calcutta College of Civil Engineering was established, the students of which have been almost wholly Bengalese. Subsequently other colleges on a small scale have been founded at Poona and Madras for training native subordinates. Owing to the scantiness of the supply it was found neces sary before the Mutiny to send out from England engineers of experience, selected at the nomination of leading professional men; but in 1859, when Lord Stanley was Secretary of State, a new plan was adopted. It was deemed undesirable to continue sending out men of mature age, unaccustomed to the climate and unacquainted with the language (,f the country, and to make the requisite invi dious supersessions on the sudden introduc- tian of a number of experienced persons. It was then determined that the department should be recruited at the bottom by the appointment of young men, to 133 selected annually by competitive examination, who, on arrival in India, should proceed to an engineering college, there to undergo a course of instruction in surveying and engineering until reported qualified for the public service. This last part of the scheme was soon abandoned; the probationary engineers have for some years been posted to works immediately on their arrival in India, and no steps taken to insure their receiving the need ful professional training before going to India. The scheme is now to be replaced by one under which the preliminarytest for the candidates' qualifications will be of a more general character than heretofore, and the subjoined technical instruction is to be given in England instead of in India, and at the student's expense instead of that of the State. Admission to the service is still to be determined in the first instance by open competitive examination. The jwhole matter is explained and discussed in some :official papers which have been submitted to the Secretary of State for India, pre pared by Major G. Chesney,R.E., and Mr. W. T. Thornton, secretary in the Public Works Department. It appears that the staff of the Indian Public Works Department comprises 237 Royal Engineer officers, 126 other military officers, and 533 civil engineers, making a total of 896, and that at least forty or fifty civil engineers must be sent out yearly from England to maintain the department at its present strength. No very large supply can be expected from qualified natives of India. Everywhere but in England systematic educa tion of engineers is the rule ; and the party iu the profes sion is daily increasing who view with alarm the strides which the better educated continental engineers are making to surpass ours. The scheme now adopted, it is expected by its authors, may widen the field of competi tion. The test for admission to the service is to be in general subjects of education (including mathematics), and not in technical ones, and is to be open to all corners. The successful candidates will then enter on a course of study and training at the college, extend ing ordinarily over three years. There will be periodical examinations, and the qualifying standard of proficiency fixed for each year is to be attained by the student at the end of the first and second year, failing which he will not be allowed to remain at the college. The final examina tion will be held at the end of the third year, and will comprise engineering, mathematics, physical science, and languages ; and all who attain the prescribed qualifying standard will be despatched to India as assis tant engineers of the second grade the salary of which grade is 4,200 rupees (about £420) per annum. Part of the last of the three years will be spent under a civil or mechanical engineer, whose fee will be paid by the Indian Government, the student receiving an allowance of ss. a day for lodging money and in lieu of commons. Having had the advantage of two years' study of the theory of engineering and preparation in drawing, he will be in a position to turn his opportunities of practical work to full advantage, and effectual guarantees will be taken for his making good use of his time. This is the course for students who enter the college with no previous knowledge of technical subjects, and whose professional education will be wholly obtainep while there. There will be a reduction in the require ments in the case of those who have already received a more or less complete engineering education, and candi dates sufficiently advanced on admission may even proceed at once to the final examination, which will include various exercises in surveying, designing, and so forth, performed under supervision, and extending over several weeks. The fees payable at the college are at the rate of £l5O a year, which includes the charges for board and lodging. The salaries in India range from the 4,200 rupees, with which these assistant engineers will commence, to 30,000 rupees for chief engineers of the first class. Promotion is wholly by select ion ; me r e seniority is considered to confer no claim to it. Such is the scheme now determined on. Its main object is to secure competent men for the service ; and it is hoped that there will be produced among such a body as this an esprit de corps, a pride in the service, a dread of doing anything to disgrace the corps, which will be of inestimable value. Mr. Thornton anticipates that the public benefit arising from the existence of such an exemplary body of Government engineers in India will not be necessarily confined to that country, and that the fame of their high character may extend to England, and contribute sensibly to the moral regeneration of the whole en gineering profession. ATTEMPTED WIFE MURDER.—At the Central. Criminal Court, William Mead aged 47, shoemaker, was charged with maliciously wounding Susan Mead, his wife, with intent to murder. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to five years penal servitude. The Bishop of London's Christmas Ordination will be held at St. Paul's Cathedral on Sunday next. Amongst the candidates for holy orders who have presented them selves is the Rev. Brewin Grant, the well known Dissenting minister, repudiated by his congregation in the North for opposing the disestablishment of the Irish Church. CHARGE OF MURDER.-A t the Central Criminal Court, James Leary was charged with the wilful murder of James Gordon Keenick. It appeared from the evidence of Archibald Pinktray that he lodged at the house of a man named APGill, near Fitzroy-square, with the prisoner, deceased, and another man named 111`Gill. The lodgers slept in one room. On the 6th November, APGill and his wife, the prisoner, and de ceased, went to a supper party at the house of a friend, and on their return called at two public houses, after which they quarrelled. Evidence was ad duced to prove that the accused had illtreated Keenick most unmercifully, ultimately stabbing him in such a manner that he died. His lordship addressed the jury, and after a short consultation, they returned into court with a verdict of " Manslaughter,"—His Lordship passed on the prisoner a sentence of 10 years' penal servitude, THE EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR IN ENNISKILLEN. At the Enniskillen Sessions on Monday, the case arising out of the outrageous assault upon an officer was heard before the magistrates. The court, the Freeman's Journal (from which we extract the following additional particulars) says, was densely crowded with officers, gentry, and townspeople. Lord Crichton was present in one of the galleries. Mr. Porter sat beside his solicitor, Mr. Joseph Alexander ; Mr. Archibald Collura conducted the proceedings as Crown Prosecutor at the instance of Captain Poynter, late of the 16th Regiment. The accused were John Grey Vesey Porter, John Oldcraft, jun., William Clingen, sen., William South, William Maxwell, and William John ston. Captain Poynter proved to having been sent for three times, Oldcraft being the messenger, to see Mrs. Porter who particularly wanted an interview with him. He declined each time, but at last said if he could make time he would go, and did so. The messenger was coining into town a fourth time for him when the captain was going out. Kilhevlin, the place where Mrs. Porter was said to be waiting, is about a mile from town, with an avenue from the Dublin road to the house. When the captain proceeded about a hundred and fifty yards up the avenue five men rushed out from some laurels, tied and gagged him with a strap, and carried him face upwards to a boat at the shore, in which Mr. Porter was waiting. A rug was thrown over him, and in this way they pulled to Belleisle. On the way Poynter made an effort to shout, and Mr. Porter threw water on him, called on one of the men to reach him a scissors, and he cut off his hair, and part of his moustache. When cutting his hair Mr. Porter said—" I am going to put the Belleisle oti you, Perhaps you would like to send a lock of your hair to your lady friends in Enniskellen." When arrived at Belleisle the captain was loosed and allowed to walk to the front of the house, where there were two trestles and a plank laid across. Mr. Porter desired his bandmaster to sound the assembly, which was done, and a large bell was wrung to gather the people, but none came except those about the place. The captain was tied to the cross beam by a rope under the arms, which raised him on his tip-toes, and Mr. Porter had two carriage whips brought to him, which he applied to the tied-up captain. The two whips were used one after the other, as the first was either broken, or 'it did not please in the lashing. Mr. Porter, ' when all was over, asked him if he would take a glass of sherry, but there was none. He was offered claret, but refused. He gave one of the men some money, and he got whiskey, and Mr. Porter sent him to Lisbellaw on his car ; when the captain was brought to Belleisle he said he had heart-disease, and Mr. Porter said he had given him a queer heart-disease ; he called the people who were at Belleisle and said he had got the blackguard English officer and would flog him ; he told him also that men had often been shot for less than he had done on him ; told him also in the boat that his wife had confessed that she had compromised herself with him. In cross-examination it came out that the captain went to Killyhevlin in expectation of meeting the lady ; would not swear positively who caught him on the voyage ; none of the men did anything to him ; Mr. Porter called him a blackguard and spoke something of his wife ; he could not swear positively, but it was to the effect that something had taken place between him and his wife, and the lady had con fessed. Mr. Porter here interrupted, and said " You are a blackgard." A man namel Neill was examined. Mr. Porter desired him to tell the truth from the beginning, which the witness did. It partly confirmed the officer's Statement, only as regarded the throwing the water on the captain when in the boat, this witness said that Mr. Porter sprinkled the water on his face and breast when he said he was getting weak. Mr. Porter told them before landing at Killyhevlin that they knew the villainy that had been brought on him, and he was going to catch an officer and bring him to Belleisle and flog him. Oldcroft was to get ten pounds and the others five. Dr. M`Kenna proved to marks having been on the captain's eye and arms. His cheeks were swollen and mouth sore. The magistrates decided on sending the case to the assizes, binding Mr. Porter in five hundred pounds bail, and two sureties in £250 each, and all the men also on a charge of conspiracy to waylay, bail for each being £lOO, and two sureties of £5O each.—Mr. Porter's solicitor said that he was anxious to take the whole responsibility of , the affair on himself.—The captain denied having had any communication with the lady, and Mr. Porter called him " a blackguard" more than once. The laity and clergy of Nottingham have resolved. to invite the Church Congress to hold their meeting next year in that city. A marriage is arranged between Algernon, third son of Mr. IL Brinsley Sheridan, of Frampton Court, Dorchester, and Miss Motley, daughter of the late United States Minister. The Council of the Royal Dublin Society have made arrangements for the admission of ladies as well as gentlemen at three out of six of their forthcoming evening scientific meetings, when discourses will be delivered by several eminent professors. It is reported from New York that Canada will withdraw the use of the Welland Canal from American vessels in case of the adoption of President Grant's-Tecom mendation, that' the present system of commercial inter course should be suspended. According to handbills which have been circulated, " a great Republican demonstration " is to take place next Sunday in Trafalgar-square, "for the Solemn recognition of the French Republic by the peopl,:, and the condemnation of the policy of the British C overn malt." The Cork Herald mentions that Mr. William Leader, of Clonmoyle, is in command of the 20th division of Franc-tireurs, at present attached to the Army of the Loire. He was placed in that responsible position on account of the military skill and great personal bra'. ery he displayed. rage. " Mr. W. Evill has written a lively and agreeable account of `A Winter Journey to Rome.'

" Italy has been described to the reading world again and again, and, therefore, the charm of Mr. Evill's book is not the charm of novelty, but it has a charm. There is a fresh, inge nuous manner, that appeals to the reader.

The exterior and interior of Milan cathedral are put before us in glowing terms, and the long ceremonies of the opening of the (Ecumenical Council are forcibly described. His description of Venice is excellent. Mr. Evill's word-painting is far above the average of such descriptions.

PROSPECTUS The object of this Company is to acquire and work as one con solidated undertakjng two separate Metropolitan Tramways, incorporated under special Acts of Parliament passed in the two last sessions, viz., those of 1. The Metropolitan Street Tramways Company (the first Company which obtained an Act for Tramways in London). 2. The Pimlico, Peckham, and Greenwich Street Tramways Company. The Two Tramway Companies before mentioned are, by their present Acts, empowered to construct and work Tramways in nearly all the main thoroughfares on the south side, and extending to Victoria Station, Pimlico, on the north side of the Thames, comprising 25 miles of street, partly single, but principally double lines, making altogether about 45} miles of Tramways. The accompanying map shews the authorised Tramways marked red, from which it will be seen that they traverse very populous districts and are important, not only as local, but also as trunk lines. The Metropolitan Company has constructed and opened for traffic the lines from Brixton and Clapham to near the south end of Westminster Bridge, by direct cash outlay, and these lines are, by the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, to be made over to this Company by the exchange of the Shares of the Metropolitan Company for Shares in this Company at par. The Pimlico Company engages to hand over their portion of the'lines completed to this Company in sections free of all ex penses, risks, or contingencies, at the same mileage cost as that of the Metropolitan Company. The total estimated out lay on all the authorised lines on this basis, including equip ment, will be provided by the share capital of £250,000 and an intended issue of debentures £70,000, leaving an ample margin for working capital. The first section of the Greenwich line, viz., from Blackheath Hill to New Cross, has been opened for traffic, and the continua tion of that line to East Greenwich is under construction, and will be in operation by the end of the year (1870). By this and the above arrangements, the capital will be remunerative as soon as called up. The returns from the working of the fragmentary portion of the lines from Brixton to Kennington, which alone has been opened for any length of time, have been audited by Mr. Broom, of the firm Qf Broom, Son, and Hays, public ac countants, and Mr. Tendlt•en, who are the auditors, and for the first three months of the opening were found to yield a net return at the rate of ten per cent. per annum on the capital expenditure. The subsequent results are equally satisfactory, and the traffic is steadily increasing. The only other experience of Tramway working in London is the fine which is now open between Whitechapel and Bow, and the result, from the audited accounts, shews 12 per cent. net profit. Street Tramways, although but little known in this country, have been in very profitable operation for many years in most of the large cities of America and Canada. and also on the Conti nent of Europe, in St. Petersburgh, Vienna, Brussels, Copen hagen, &c., paying dividends generally of not less than 10 per cent, on the Capital invested, and the shares command good premiums. The Capital Account of most of the American Com panies shews an expenditure per mile greatly exceeding that required by this Company, and with the easy gradients in the Metropolis (a most important item in the economy of working), and by the judicious administration which experience has brought to bear, there can be no doubt that Tramways will prove highly profitable here. By the improvements effected in construction by using the groove rail, the objections previously existing to the American Tramways have been removed. Last Session the whole subject of Tramways was investigated by Select Committees of both Houses of Parliament, and in the result a General Act was passed under which local authorities can purchase Tramways in their district on a valuation (ex cluding goodwill) at the end of twenty-one years, but in the case of the Companies above mentioned, this period is extended to twenty-eight years, in consideration of their having been the pioneers for the introduction of Tramways into London, and as an equitable equivalent for these exceptional privileges, and in consideration of these Companies transferring their interest without goodwill, there is reserved to the original Shareholders one-half of the surplus profits of the Company after payment ota dividend of six per cent. per annum, so that the originators of the scheme continue ;interested in the undertaking, and are remunerated according to its success. Important extensions of the existing lines are being applied for, the benefit of which is made ovor to this Company. ) If no allotment be made the Deposits will be returned in full. The Acts of Incorporation and the Agreement for Amalga mation can be inspected at the Offices of the Solicitors of the Company. The Agreement is dated the Oth day of December, 1870, and the names of the parties to it are as follows :—The Metropolitan Street Tramways Company and the Pimlico, Peck ham, and Greenwich StreetTramways Company of the first part, John FouLston Hunt on behalf of this Company then intended to be formed of the second part, and certain Shareholders of the Pimlico, Peckham, and Greenwich Street Tramways Com pany of the third part.
