Offices :-13, Little Queen-street, Westminster, London, and Taunton, Somerset. Messrs. Field, Wood, and Haynes, in bringing this Stock before the public, call their attention to the following facts : The Devon and Somerset Railwa. 42 miles in length (shewn on the accompanying map, coloured red), commences at Norton, near Taunton, Somerset, forming a Junction with the Bristoland Exeter Railway there, and terminates at Barnstaple, Devon, crossing by a direct route from east to west, Milverton, Wivelis combe, Bampton, Dulverton, North and South Molton, Swin bridge and Landkey, saving nearly 42 miles on the existing route from the West of England to Bristol and the North, and bringing the entire district traversed, within much easier reach of the Metropolis. The Devon and Somerset Railway possesses peculiar advan tages as regards traffic, as, from the great saving of distance, it will not only command a remunerative passenger and goods traffic, but, in addition, an important coal and mineral traffic from the surrounding districts which this Railway will open up, there being to the northward of this line, and between It and the Bristol Channel, upwards of 400 square miles of rich mineral and agricultural country, unprovided with railway accommodation, and to the southward, upwards of 200 miles, more than half of which is similarly unprovided. . . The present route from the north, mirth-east, and east, to Barnstaple and the West of England is (as a glance at the map will show) round via Taunton, by Exeter, a very circui tous route. When the Devon and Somerset Railway is open, a saving of nearly 40 miles in distance, and consequently economy of time and expense will be effected by all traffic between the Metropolis and places north of it and the large district which will be served by the Devon and Somerset Railway, 'such traffic then proceeding by the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways to Taunton, and thence by the Devon and Somerset Railway direct, passengers and goods being booked through by those companies. By special agreement, confirmed by Act of Parliament, the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company are to work the Devon and Somerset Railway in perpetuity, and pay over to it half yearly 50 per cent. of the gross receipts. Arrangements have also been made by which the Midland Railway Company is under agreement to allow the Devon and Somerset Railway 10 per cent. rebate on the traffic passing over their line ; and the Bristol and Exeter Company have agreed to allow a similar rebate of £5 per cent. on their line. The traffic of the Devon and Somerset Railway, there is no doubt, must be large, having regard to the important towns it unites, and to the rich agricultural and mineral district it will accommodate, as well as the saying of distance from the Metropolis and North. There will also, it may be confidently expected, be found a special element of great future advantage, in the facility it will offer for summer and excursion traffic to the beautiful and favourite scenery of North Devon and Cornwall. The attrac tions of this district bring numbers, which are rapidly increas ing every year, to the West of England ; and the Devon and Somerset Railway will offer to the whole of the manufacturing districts of England, the readiest and far the shortest route, and will traverse some of the most picturesque parts of North Devon. With reference to the estimate of the probable traffic, it may be observed that the North Devon line, running to Barnstaple from Exeter, has a traffic of £22 per mile per week, and the South Devon line from Exeter to Plymouth, £49 per mile per week ; and the Directors have received a reliable estimate that the traffic of this Line will reach £24 per mile per week, and will ultimately be considerably more ; the receipts of the North and South Devon lines together average £35 10s. per mile per week. The amount required annually to pay the interest on the A De benture stock is £16,200, and on the B Debenture Stock £8,300 per annum, so that, on the above estimate, the anticipate]. re venue would considerably exceed the sum necessary for such in terest, to which must be added the additional receipts from rebates of traffic before mentioned, thus rendering the invest ment one of ample security. Towards the construction of the 42 miles of Railway of which the Devon and Somerset Railway consists, great progress has been made, the works being now rapidly proceeded with : the Ist Section, from Taunton to Wiveliscombe, 10 miles, will be completed in about 28 days, and by the arrangements with the contractor, for the due performance of whose engagements se curity has been given to the satisfaction of the Board of Directors of the Company, the following periods have been fixed for completing the entire line for traffic 2nd — Section, Barnstaple to South Molton, 12 miles .. j on 15th Feb., 1871. grd and last Section, 20 miles .. on 30th June, 1871. To ensure the punctual payment of the interest during the last mentioned period upon the stock applied for, as well as for a further period, up to 3 years, viz., to 30th October, 1873, an amount sufficient for the purpose will be invested in Govern ment Securities, in the names of JOHN ARTHUR LOCKE, ESQ., North Moor House, Dulverton, Somerset, Deputy Chairman of the Devon and Somerset Railway, and EDMUND HAVILAND BURKE, Esq., M.P., 13, Arlington-street, London, who have consented to act as Trustees, and who will apply such amount thereof as may be necessary to ensure the full and punc tual payment half-yearly to B Debenture Holders of such Interest as it falls due, thus affording to the Company the most ample time to develope its traffic after opening the line. As a safe investment, English Railway Debenture Stock is well known ; it possesses at once the advantage of a fixed income, and that of rapid increase of value, and consequent augmenta tion of the capital invested. _ These featu'res apply specially to the Stock now offered, the accompanying Table of the relative values of existing Railway Debenture and other Stocks yielding 5 per cent. interest, as compared with the 5 per cent. B Debenture Stock of the Devon and Somerset Railway, now offered at £75, showing that when the line is completely open for traffic the Stock must greatly increase in value.

OPERA COMIQUE. Grand' Entrance, 299 Strand. Messrs. LicsiaN, STEELE, and NORTON, Lessees. Opening Night this SATURDAY 29th. even a foregone conclusion such as this is an astounding event. The ruin of the French military forces is absolutely without precedent. It is more than a revenge of Jena, for in 1806 the Prussian forces were comparatively not great, and one battle comprised all the very serious fighting of the cam paign. In 1870 more than a dozen engage ments of great magnitude have been fought, the operations have covered a vast area, the bodies of men employed were enormously great. Yet, in three months' fighting, the French have not won a single important action, whilst a quarter of a million of their soldiers are prisoners, and the remainder so completely swept away that only a few demoralised battalions remain of the Regular troops. BAZAINE, like all the other Imperial generals, displayed little capacity for the greater operations of war in the movements which led to his strange im prisonment. When Woerth and Spicheren gave the Germans the initiatory advantage of the war, BAZAINE fell back upon Metz with about 130,000 men— the remainder being dispersed at Woerth or concen trated at Chalons. The Marshal did not choose to give battle to the enormous hosts of Prince FREDE RICK CHARLES and STEINMETZ, and yet he seemed loth to quit the neighbourhood of the fortress. He lingered there so long, in fact, that the German leaders altered their design. They had proposed to unite all three forces and move forward, driving the French towards Paris ; but Von MOLTKE now saw an opportunity of employing the First and Second in enmeshing BAZAINE. On the 14th of August, a portion of the French army, which remained on the east of I:,fetz, was driven into the fortress, and in the meantime the Germans pushed across the Moselle to the south ward, the plan being to wind round in a semicircle at a respectful distance from Metz, and intercept BAZAINE'S columns as they proceeded upon the great road leading due west from the stronghold to Verdun. The Marshal devined this project, but not until too late. His best plan was to assail the extended German line as it was winding awkwardly round the fortress. Such a bold attack might have been successful, and could not have ended more ruinously than the course actually adopted. But BAZAINE contented himself with an attempt to run away. He marched straight for ward on lie road to Verdun. On the 16th a small German force just managed to complete the semicircle and strike at the head of the French columns, • keeping them in check until greater forces came up. The battle of Mars-la-Tour shews how excellent was the chance of of gaining an advantage by an assault on the straggling German army. Though the the invaders greatly outnumbered the French, they were weaker at the point of contact, and suf fered tremendous losses. Indeed, it is now ascertained that BAZAINE, by making one more effort to push forward, could have won that desperate fight. There was, however, good reason for not making one more effort. The French ammunition was exhausted. It remained only to fall back. By the next day the Germans had come up, and occupied the whole space barring the way to Verdun. On the 18th the greatest battle of the war was fought. At Grave lotto the French held a fine position, but the Germans had now greatly the advantage in numbers, and by storming the hostile situation at all points, they gained another costly triumph. After that day came the waiting game. Entrench ments were erected all round Metz, and the Germans made themselves as comfortable as possible. They could not take Metz, but neither could BAZAINE get out. It was simply a question of how long the food inside the place would serve to feed the garrison, the army, and the population. It proves to have been seventy days. This period was occupied in many a gal lant bat vain sortie, and at length the time expired,and starvation brought about the surrender of the first fortress in the world, without the necessity for firing a single siege gun at its works. The military effects of such an event are obvious. The German troops around Paris are by no means too numerous for their work, and they will now receive the needed. increase. So large is the army under Prince FREDERICK CHARLES that reinforcements can be sent to Paris, and yet leave a strong body to penetrate into the interior, and destroy the • elements of resistance there forming. If there ever was the slightest gleam of hope for the French, it was in gaining some success by a new army, whilst Metz and Paris yet held out. It is now too late for any enterprise of this kind. As to the political censequences of the surrender, it of course immediately suggests itself to every English mind that the French Government must now perceive the utter hopelessness of continuz ing the contest. But the proof that no chance of success remains is but a shade stronger than it was at any time since Sedan. The Government have failed to appreciate the situation hitherto, and there is but too much reason to fear that their obstinacy will not cease. It is to be hoped that the result may be different, but the disposition now shewn at Tours is not promising. TOPICS OF THE DAY. WANTED(A DIPLOMATIST. So difficult is it to get a suitable Am erican repre sentative at this court that in many quarters it is thought likely that Mr. Motley will be asked to re main. The London correspondent of the Scotsman says he was removed only because the President was desirous to shew the world that Mr. Sumner's influ ence was not what it had been. "Mr. Motley, in fact, was struck at, not so much because he had per sonally given offence, as because he happened to be Mr. Sumner's friend. That Mr. Motley's action on the Alabama question had nothing to do with his recal is certain, from the fact that his action was nil. He was ro strained from moving in the matter by his instruc tions, and, as far as our Government was concerned, scrupulously abided by them, though I fancy he gave his own Government to understand that the matter was by no means so difficult of settlement as they chose to pretend." It will be rather odd, indeed, if Mr. Motley remains after having been " struck at " to spite Mr. Sumner. He will be a strange being if he puts up with such treatment.

IT is reported that the splendid aurora borealis which appeared this week caused much affright amongst the uneducated people at Tours, who re garded it as a portent of some great calamity. There is no connection between one of the most beautiful of natural phenomena and human disaster, but no doubt the superstitious at Tours, will be confirmed in their delusions by the event which followed. The capitulation of Metz is another fearful blow to the French nation. Never before was there such a military event as the surrender at Sedan. In this war the Sedan catastrophe has been repeated. Half the whole regular army of France was captured at one place, and now the other half has fallen. The event, has long been expected, but the fulfilment of THE PROPOSED ARMISTICE. Lorc,l Clanricarde has written to the Times on the subject of the proposed armistice. He regrets that our Government should have applied to Prussia to grant an armistice,on the basis of a surrender of her conquests. Under existing circumstances it was not reasonable to make such a demand, and it could only have the effect of encouraging the pretensions of the French leaders. While sympathising deeply with France, he cannot see upon what historical precedent we can urge Prussia to accept these terms. It is prepos terous for the French to maintain that the soil which has once become a portion of her Empire should be inalienable for ever after. M. Guizot suggests that reasonable limits should be assigned by the neutral Powers to the resistance of one belligerent and the , claims of the other, but the Government of Paris are not likely to examine German claims. It is not an extravagant proposition, to outside observers, that the French should cede some por tion of the territory of which the Prus sians have possession. Lord Clanricarde is surprised that M. Guizot should seek to draw a dis tinction between the Imperial Government and the nation which elected and supported it for so long, b e cause such a notion would render all international acts void in the event of a revolution taking place. The true friends of the French will seek to convince them that the territorial question before them is how much should be restored of what they have lost by the fortune of war. MR. C. BUXTON, M.P., ON THE WAR. Mr. Buxton M.P. has delivered an address at Cromer, from which it appears that he, like many others, accounts the Emperor Napoleon responsible for the war. It was perfectly clear, argued the member for East Surrey, that had the Emperor meant peace, the French people would have acquiesced in a pacific policy ; one could hardly imagine, he observes, greater guilt than that of the man who could deli berately doom to death or horrible suffering some 200,000 of his fellow men and in flict such a calamity on his country. It seemed to be regarded as an excuse for the Emperor's conduct that he thought the war would increase the security of his throne. " But surely," exclaimed Mr. Buxton, " a motive so utterly per sonal and selfish rendered his conduct worthy of abhorrence." The speaker expressed his contempt of those members of the French Cabinet who, disap proving of the war, had not the manhood to resign their offices. He thought the celebrated proposal of the Times, which has excited so much ridicule, that the basis of peace should be the dismantling of the strong places of Alsace and Lorraine, and that the neutral Powers should enter into an engagement to join either belligerent against the other in case an attack were made without first submitting to arbi tration, was worthy of deep consideration. LORD ELCHO AND AN ARMY RESERVE. An army reserve, according to Lord Elcho, is a need too clearly admitted. In a letter to the papers he refers to different periods of our history in proof of the fact that through a scarcity of men trained for service our war power has been crippled and limited, and often, too, in the midst of our best military successes. As he looks upon legislation in the matter as inevitable, his lordship summarises the attempts made of late years to form reserves, and he enters into the causes of the failures on such occasions. Such unsatisfactory results as have here tofore attended a movement in this direction, ought to make us more intent . upon assuring a certain and sufficient supply of men for our regular army ; a supply which we certainly have not. Our system of recruiting, Lord Elcho considers, is the chief blemish in the military system. It ought to be at once remodelled. Costly as it has always been, it has ever proved itself insufficient to command the man market. There are but two ways, he holds, of obtaining a supply of men for the Army or Army Reserve—compulsion or temptation; in other words, conscription or pension. The new Enlistment Act adopts neither. It eschews conscrip tion, and gives no pension to the soldier on the completion of his twelve years' engagement for army and reserve service. The plan which appears to Lord Elcho to give most promise of success is the one suggested by Sir Hope Grant, and brought last year before the House of Commons. It rests, his lord ship observes, on a system of pension that cannot but be gratifying to the troops, and it combines long enlistments with short periods of service. THE GOVERNORSHIP OF MADRAS. The Governorship of Madras will fall vacant on the expiration of Lord Napier's term of office, though, according to the Indian papers, there is a strong desire for his reappointment. Should he retire, however, Sir Hercules Robinson, now Governor of Ceylon, is spoken of as his successor, and speculations are rife as to the future Governor of Ceylon. Mr. Pope Henesay, now at Labuan, Mr. Ayrton,. and Mr. Gregory, M.P. for Galway, are among the can didates mentioned, but it is improbable that a Liberal Government would select the first, and the second is said to remain constant to his Tower Hamlets constituency. Mr. Gregory is, therefore, considered the more likely candidate. Mr. Ayrton thinks he cannot well be spared, and certainly his absence would produce a calmness in the Lower House which would seem remarkably strange after late experience. He is not easy to get rid of. The Government may wish to transport him to Madras or anywhere else, but two parties are needed to a bar gain of the kind. THE NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. Dr. Lankester protests against the principle that only those persons already acquainted with the details of the present educational system should be placed on the new school boards. When we are told by the Bishop of Manchester that a full third of our present schools are useless, if not pernicious, he thinks it is high time that the whole system of education should be looked into by those who will come fresh to the inquiry, unencumbered with the ideas that have led to such disastrous results. The class of persons wkom Dr. Lankester would like to see in power over schools, would be those who are best known as cultivators of science amongst us ; and taking this view he praises the selection of Professor Huxley and Miss Elizabeth Garrett as candidates for one of the most populous London districts. Among the ques tions that will have to meet with earnest attention from the governing bodies of the new schools, if they are to be an improvement upon the old, Dr. Lankester maintains will be the sanitary condition of the institutions, the times of study set apart for young and untutored heads, and the course of instruction to be pursued in the different localities. ft is only men and women of skill, and thought, and culture, who can be expected to grapple with such subjects. THE APPROACHING ECLIPSE. The refusal of the English Government to appoint an expedition for the purpose of observing the coming total eclipse of the sun has created much dissatisfaction in scientific circles. Arrangements are being made, it is said, for a deputation to wait upon Mr. Gladstone in order to urge the importance of carrying out the expedition. The illiberal conduct of the Government is contrasted with the generous behaviour of the American Legislature, which has appropriated £6,000 'for the purpose of taking observations which will prove highly valuable. The American astronomers will be divided into two parties—one will observe in Sicily and the other in Spain. The decision of the English Government is the more regretted because of the inability of France or Germany under existing circumstances on the continent to furnish expeditions. A FRAUDULENT COAL-DEALER. Thanks to the vigilance of two police-constables, a coal dealer at Glasgow has been prosecuted for sell ing bags of coal which were understood to contain a cwt. each, but which fell short of that quantity by 151 b. The dealer had a cart holding 40 bags, and it was admitted in the court that the greater portion of them were short of the proper weight. The magistrate inflicted the full penalty, namely, 405., with the alternative of 60 days' imprisonment A few such zealous officers in every town would speedily check the system which is notoriously pre valent in the coal trade, of giving short measure when that article is purchased in small quantities by the poor. But here the old difficulty presents itself. If the coal-dealer had a large trade in bags 151bs. short, he would soon recoup himself the amount of the fine. The penalty must be heavy, in order to counterbalance the profits of a fraudulent trade ; and unfortunately, the Legislature has not yet resolved to make it heavy. PERPLEXITIES IN ROME. The report is prevalent in Rome that Victor Emmanuel may be expected in that city on the 18th November, immediately after the great military reviews in Lombardy and Piedmont. Signor Sella, the Minister of Finance, is thought to be very anxious to vanquish the King's repugnance to take possession of Rome in person. The Italian Govern ment is suspected of wishing to render the Vatican too hot to hold the Pope, and so forcing him indirectly to leave the city. Sella, especi ally, is of opinion that nothing can be done till Pius IX. has left Rome, as the diplo matic body remaining accredited to the Ponti fical Court is an insuperable obstacle to the scheme (which Sella favours) of reducing the. Pope to the level of a mere Italian bishop, subject to the Crown of Italy. This is the design of the Left of the Florence Chamber, but of course the Catholic party is strongly opposed to it, and the French and Ger man Catholics altogether repudiate it. The Pope has refused the 50,000 scudi of the civil list offered him by the Italian authorities, and has notified the Roman Bank that the month's allowance clue in November will not be drawn. • A CONVICT'S IDEA OF EQUITY. In the Connecticut State Prison, a few weeks since, a prisoner named Wilson fell upon a warder in that institution and murdered him. When put upon his trial the homicide declared, in very cool language, that he and his companions had for a long time been treated with intolerable cruelty and violence, and that he had only killed the warder "in tho interests of humanity." The accused altogether conducted his own case, and although he was ulti mately sentenced to death, a marked effect was pro duced upon the jury by his ability in speech. One of the man's expressions to the Court was the follow ing : "It is one of the clearest deductions of common sense," said he, " that when a law ceases to protect a man, it ceases also to be binding as a rule of his conduct. It has been proved to you that there is no law to protect a prisoner in the Connecticut State Prison from cruelty. They have actually been starved to death ; they are made to work eleven lours a-day, and are allowed nine cents (40.) a-day for their subsistence. . . . a man in crossing the yard does but turn his eyes to look at the flowers, or raise his eyes to behold God's glorious sun, you pronounce him guilty of a crime 2 and for that you sear his back with a bloody ltish, and throw him into a filthy dungeon. Spain, that barbarous old mother of the terrible Inquisition, has abolished the lash ; but Connecticut, with all her Christian sympathies, cherishes it. The warden and directors forced me to take life in my own defence ; it was an appeal to the highest law known to man." THE FRANCO-IRISH AMBULANCE CORPS. ALLEGED BREACH OF THE FOREIGN ENLISTMENT ACT. At Bow-street Police-court, Joseph Patrick Macdonald was brought up on remand, under the 6th Section of the Foreign Enlistment Act, charged with having violated certain of its provisions. Mr. Poland prosecuted, on behalf of the Government. Evidence had beenlprevionsly given by a sailor named Page, who stated that he went to Bolt-court, in Fleet-street, and saw the prisoner and a man named Colter. He was told by the prisoner that he would be wanted to go out with the Franco-Irish Ambulance Corps, and that his duty would be to carry the wounded off the field. On the fol lowing Thursday he sailed with seventy others in the ship John Bull, from St. Catherine's Docks. Colter and O'Hagan went with them as far as Havre, when they were informed there was no Ambulance Corps, and that they would have to fight for the French. Witness objected to this, and returned to England with the help o f the British Consul. On the continuation of the case yesterday, before Sir Thomas Henry, evidence was adduged to identify O'Hagan, Macdonald, and Colter as being engaged in the alleged conspiracy. Joseph Simpson proved that Mac donald came to him and took the shop in Bolt's Court for the purpose of receiving subscriptions in aid of the sick and wounded. From information he received when he sent to clean the offices he had the doors bolted against malcon tents, who threatened him with legal proceedings for so doing. A witness named Flannery proved being engaged by the prisoner and being taken to St. Catherine's Docks. On the following day s the 6th of October, he went on board at nine o'clock with ninety others. Macdonald and Sheagh and the two Colters embarked at the same time, but the two Colters only went on to Havre. Before leaving Macdonald called the men he had embarked in two batches, and addressed them.. He told them he would have to get out at Gravesend, but that the elder Colter would lead them on to glory. Some of them asked what he meant by leading them on to glory. He said it was a glorious and humane mission, and he shuffled about it. He said he would see they were used all right when they arrived there. After this they sailed to Havre, and got there about nine o'clock. Both the Colters and another man went ashore first. They came back again, and all went ashore together. When they landed Colter paid for some brandy, and ordered them to be there on the following morning, when a boat would be ready to take them to a place called Caen. A man named Costello was also there, and he expressed his opinion that there wasno such a thing as an ambulance, and that they would all have to shoulder their ' rifle. Witness then spoke to the younger Colter, who said it was no such thing. They went to Caen, reaching there on the following morning. When they landed, young Colter marched them towards the barracks, and when within a hundred yards, a man who came over with them in the boat, said, " Halt, there's no such a thing as ambulance. We are all going forsoldiers. " They were then taken to the barracks,. and a row ensued, when Colter called on th e guar d a nd ordered one man to be arrested. They all stood up, and he was not arrested. This was inside the canteen. O'Hagan, who in France was called Colonel Dyer, said those who chose to go with him could, and asked those who wished to go home to stand out, and they should have their fare paid. About fifty did. The others seemed willing to join the foreign legion. Those who elected to go home were to go to Tours. O'Hagan then went away, and they were put under the hands of Costello. They remained there from Sunday to Friday. O'Hagan then came back and said a boat was waiting to take them to Havre. They went back by boat to Havre, were about the streets some hours, and were sent home, by whom he did not know. By Mr. Merriman : When they arrived at Caen no musket or sword was put into their hands. There was an order which stated that they must become soldiers, and through a spokesman, they declined. Between London and Gravesend Macdonald said " It's a glorious work you are upon.. It's a work of love and mercy." Re-examined : Never got the eight shillings I paid at Bolt's Court, back again. William Costello, analytical chemist of Hatton Garden, said in October he saw a paragraph in the Observer or the Globe. He went in consequence to Bolt-court. On going into the office he saw a bill for strong able-bodied men to join an ambulance corps. The elder Colter was acting as clerk. Witness asked what equipment and pay would be given. He referred witness to the secretary who was not in ; witness left a letter for the secretary. This letter offered witness's services and stated his qualifications. When prisoner read the letter he wrote to know if witness had a diploma. Witness said he had not, but he thought he was competent to undertake the duties alluded to. Prisoner then stated that if witness wished to go he could only send him out under the same conditions as other men. No doubt, however, on witness's arrival at Havre the head surgeon there would appoint him to his proper position, and as far as his pay and equipment was con cerned he would be fully satisfied. Witness then paid the eight shillings demanded, and agreed to go. On arriving at Havre witness went to Colter the elder, who said he was in the same position as himself, that he would put him in the way of inquiry. They went to the prefec ture, and were directed to the Central Commissary's office, where they were informed the ambulance was at Fres cut's Hotel on the beach. A gentleman told them he was one of the English Ambulance Corps, but could get no in formation as to the Irish Ambulance Corps. Witness and Cotter then returned to the men, and Colter ordered some brandy for them. During this a carriage drove up with Mr. O'Hagan, who shook hands with witness, and read his letter of application, and he appointed to see him at his hotel in the evening. O'Hagan gave some money to Colter to distribute four francs to each man. He said the ambulance would be organised not at Havre but at Caen, and that they should proceed there next morning by steamboat. On the following morning they embarked, and O'Hagan was there, and smilingly said " Well lads or boys, what a pleasure to fight for France." On arriving on the quay they remained while O'Hagan communicated with the authorities as to accommodation. The elder Colter was introduced to Captain Thierry, a French officer at Caen, as Captain Potter. At this stage of the proceedings the case was further adjourned. Application for bail was refused. - 26 ,r0 C tAt 'near HER. MAJESTY, BALMORAL, OCT. 28. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Beatrice, re turned from the Glassalt Shiel yesterday afternoon.
