Yesterday the examiners held sittings at the llouse of Commons before Mr. Frere. The Rathkeale and Newcastle Junction was postponed till the Bth of February, and the Airdrie, Coatbridge, and Wishaw Junction was postponed till the 12th Februry. The standing orders were complied with in the case of the Bradford Canal.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE. The directors of this company have decided on recommending the proprietors at their next meeting to declare a dividend for the past half-year out of the net revenue at the rate of 6 per cent. per an num, less income-tax. clearly so, and sentenced the prisoner to 12 months' imprisonment, with hard labour,in Lewis Naval Gaol. The Jaseur, 5, screw gunvessel, Commander W. 11. Grubbe, which arrived at Spithead on Tuesday from the 'West Coast of Africa, was under orders to sail again from Spithead last evening for the Nore, for dismantling and paying out of commission. The Speedwell, 5, screw gunvessel, 428 tons, 80 horse power, Commander James E. Erskine, ar rived at Spithead on Wednesday from the West Coast of Africa, and waits orders at Spithead rela tive to the port selected for her dismantling and paying out of commission. In addition to the ironclad frigate Hercules, 12, 5,226 tons, 1,200 horse power, and the turret ship Monarch, 6, 5,100 tons, 1,100 horse power, build ing at Chatham, the Lords of the Admiralty have directed a double screw steamer, to be named the Beacon, to be laid down at that establishment, and built during the present year. The new vessel is to be constructed on the composite principle, the frames being of iron, and the planking and other parts of wood. The only entirely wooden vessels now build ing at Chatham dockyard are the Blanche, 4, 1,268 ton; 350 horse power, and the Myrmidon, 4, 695 tons, 200 horse power, both of which are nearly completed for launching. The line-of-battle screw steamer Bulwark, 81, 3,716 tons, 800 horse power, remains on the stocks, about half completed, pend ing the final decision of the Admiralty as to her conversion to an armour-plated ship. In consequence• of the numerous models which have been in preparation for some months past at Chatham dockyard for the French Exhibition in Paris not being completed by the date originally fixed, a special order has been received enlarging the time for their being transmitted to Paris from the Ist to the 16th inst. The Virago, 6, paddlewheel sloop, 1,0b9 tons, 200 horse power, Commander 11. M. Bingham, ar rived in Sheerness harbour on Wednesday morning, and was anchored off the west shore. The Virago has only been in commission about two months, be ing ordered for particular service on the west coast of Ireland. While there she encountered a severe gale, which broke the main shaft connecting the paddles and inflicted other injuries. She has now returned for the purpose'nf making good the da mage, and it is probable the crew will be tempora rily turned over to another ship. The Eclipse, 4, screw gunvessel, 700 tons, 200 horse powei, which arrived is Sheerness harbour on Monday from the Australian station, was yesterday morning brought alongside the basin, and com menced unloading her stores. As soon as the Barrosa is removed to make room for her, she will be taken into the basin, where she will be dismantled and paid out of commission. The Pylades, 21, screw corvette, • 1,278 tons, 350- horse power, is placed in No. 2 dock in Sheerness dockyard, where she is to be brought forward for commission. The Viper, 2, new armour-plated gunboat, 737 tons, 160-horse power, fitted with double screws, has been brought from Woolwich to Sheerness, where she is now lying in the basin preparatory to being brought forward for commission. Eight 40-pounder naval guns, slides, carriages, and appurtenances were yesterday despatched from Woolwich Arsenal to the Thames Ironworks and to Messrs. Wigram's establishment at Blackwall, to form the armaments of her Majesty's new Indian troop transportsSerapis and Crocodile, built by those firms, and now fitting for service. The manufacturing departments of Woolwich are now engaged incessantly night and day in push ing forward to completion the heavy amount of work included in the present year's financial esti mate. Several hundred additional hands have been taken on in the Royal Laboratory, to expedite the manufacture of the new Boxer cartridges (which are now thoroughly organized) required for present issue. The Royal gun factories are equally actively engaged in hastening the construction of the large number number of guns demanded urgently by the Board, and which are principally on the system in troduced by Mr. Fraser, Deputy Assist.-Superin tendent of the Department. Two hundred and fifty guns on that principle have already been manufac tured, and have undergone the most severe and satis factory proof of endurance, &c. Col. Campbell, Superintendent of the Department, has received in structions from the Secretary of State for War to confine himself in future to the exclusive manufac ture of all guns, both for land and sea service, on the above-named method. The next examination of candidates for commis sions in the medical department of the army will commence at Chelsea Hospital on Monday, the 11th instant. Capt. W. S. Jemmett, late adjutant at Milton barracks, has been ordered to join the depot of the 2d battalion of the 15th Regiment, at Chatham, on his promotion to a company. Yesterday morning the whole of the depots com posing the 3d Depot Battalion at Chatham garrison, under the command of Lieut.-Col. the Hon. J. J. Bourke, were drawn up in front of their respective quarters, within St. Mary's casemated barracks, for the purpose of undergoing their first inspection by Major-Gen. Freeman Murray, commanding the Chatham district. The troops, who were in heavy marching order, consisted of the depot companies of the Ist and 2d battalions of the 10th Regiment, 2d battalion of the 14th Regiment, Ist and 2d bat talions of the 22d Regiment, 34th Regiment, and 45th Regiment. On the arrival of Gen. Murray, attended by the officers of his personal and the gar rison staff, the customary salute was given, and the battalion having been formed in columns of corn panics, the inspection of each corps was made by the Major-General, who afterwards witnessed the troops go through a few manoeuvres. At the close of the inspection of the troops, Gen. Murray went through some portions of the barracks in which some important alterations and improvements have been made in course of the last few years, to render them better adapted for the accommodation of officers and troops—a purpose for which the build ings were never originally constructed. The following appointments were made on Wed nesday at the Admiralty:—Lieut. Henry J. Hesketh, to the Vestal ; Lieut. A. de C. Crawford, to the Bristol ; T. E. Cochrane and W. A.

At the Innishannon Petty Sessions, in the county of Cork, John Moore, 20 years of age, one of the boys in the Upton Roman Catholic Reformatory, has been sent for trial at the assizes for stabbing with a penknife Mr. IN , Toblett, the prefet of the establishment. He refused to take off his coat when ordered, and when about to be stripped of it and locked up in a cell, he resisted and com, mitted the assault. He also struck Mr. Noblett on fi e face. In his defence the prisoner said that one a tho brothers struck him on the head with a guttapercha, stick till he fell, and struck him also with the tongs. The wit ness accused of doing this hesitated so much in his, evidence that the magistrates expressed their surprisA and said there was something they could not understu.nd. At length the witness became ill, and could - not proceed. The manager, the Rev. Mr. Pinlong, ascribed his hesitancy to nervousness. The Reformatory is, of course, supported by the Stato. There aro no printed or written rules on the subject of punishment in the establishment. DUBLIN, Thursday Evening. The Cork Examiner announces the death of Mr. George R.

The following circular despatch has recently been forwarded by the Bavarian Government to its re presentatives at Stuttgardt, Carlsruhe, and Darm stadt : Munich, Jan. 9. The fundamental treaties of the Germanic Confederation aro virtually set aside by the events of last year, and while North Germany is constituting itself anew as a Confedera- tion under the leadership of Prussia, a similar attempt has not yet been made upon the part of the South German Governments. The King, my august master, is too tho roughly aware of the:difficulties opposing the establishment of a new Federal Constitution between Bavaria and the remaining German States, and especially with the Govern ment to which your excellency has the honour to be ac credited, to desire at present to depart from the attitude of expectation hitherto observed, and to enter into discus sion of the bases for such now Federal Constitution. In one direction alone the King's Government considers itself urgently bound by the duty of self-preservation to operate at once, so that other, and, if possible, better fun damental arrangements, may be substituted for those set aside by the force of circumstances. The war Federal constitution no longer exists. For the protection of Bavaria and the remaining south-western States, —viz., of the kingdom of Wurtemburg, the Grand Duchy of Baden, and the Grand Duchy of Hesse, so far as the latter does not belong to the North German Confede ration—against external and internal dangers, it is high time to agree upon another war constitution in the place of that which has hitherto existed, and to make use of the important lessons of the past year in its establishment. Discussion and agreement by the above four countries as to the necessity and upon the bases of such war consti tution is the more urgent, as public opinion in all of them most justly demands a reorganisation of the military force, and for that very reason the necessity for a revision of the laws as to formation of the army has been recognised by the Bavarian as well as by the other Governments, and a prospect of this revision is held out. But great danger exists that this revision should be effected by the above-named countries in different ways, preventing their united military constitution at any future period. This danger especially prevails in Bavaria, where a complete draught of the military constitution has been already drawn up and submitted to the Ministerial councils for deliberation. The King's Government considers the conclusion of an agreement settling the bases of a common, or at least similar, military constitution by the above-named four States, reserving the assent of the Chambers, would be the most efficient way of obviating this danger. A con ference of the Ministers for Foreign Affairs and War of the four States in question appears to the King's Govern ment the mode calculated most rapidly and securely to overcome the difficulty of execution. Your excellency is therefore desired to invite the Go vernment of to take part in such a conference, which will at the same time pass resolutions respecting the ar rangements to be adopted as to the late Federal fortresses, Ulm and Rastatt. Stuttgardt is proposed as the place of meeting, and, owing to the pressing character of the circumstances, the end of January, 1867, as the time.—Receive, &c. After receiving a provisional acceptance of the invitation contained in this despatch, the following points have been proposed by Bavaria as subjects for discussion : 1. The assembled representatives recognise it as a ne cessity of the time to increase the defensive forces of the countries, and to organise them in such manner that they may be capable of common action upon an imposing scale. 2. They unite, therefore, reserving the co-operation of their Estates, for the increase of their defensive strength as greatly as possible, upon a plan modelled according to the principles of the Prussian system. 3. The main features of this defensive system, which is to be common to the four States, shall be as follows: (a) Entrance into the army upon the principles of general liability to service, with abolition of drawing by lot, ex change, and substitution, and with the obligation to serve the entire time necessary for complete military education. (b) Transfer of men who have served their full time into the reserve, with three months' drill during the period of ser vice, and employment in war time like the line. (c) Sub sequent entry into the reserve battalions to be formed in administrative districts with a short annual drill in time of peace, dispensation from which may be obtained, and em ployment like the line during war. (d) Application of the remaining male population capable of bearing arms as landwehr to home and local service in two divisions, one of which (the younger) may be employed within the country in case of war ; the other (the elder) only at the place of residence. Married men are liable to landwehr service. During the regular period for service iu the line marriage and migration are forbidden. Due provision will be made for keeping efficient non-commissioned officers. 4. The conference will have to . 11x the minima, below which no State shall go, with regard to the per-tentage of the population liable for categories a c of sec. 3. 5. regards the organisation of their armies, the dele gates acknowlodgo the principle that they shall be divided and equipped in such similar manner as may be essential for common action. 6. They will have to agree as to the instructions to bo given to a military commission for the parpose, to meet as early as possible under the presidency of Bavaria. 7. Resolutions as to the future of the fortresses of Ulm and Rastatt shall be postponed until the close of the nego tiations for the division of tho Federel property therein contained, which are to bo accelerated as much as possible. Upon these bases the conference, in which the Bavarian Minister for Foreign Affaira and War intend to take part, will be opened at Stuttgardt upon the 3d February next. CHARACTERISTICS OF INDIAN CRIMINALS.—The following interesting details regarding Indian prisoners aro taken from -a paper read before the Statistical Society by Dr. Mouat, Inspector- General of Gaols in the Lower Presidency of Bengal :—" Heinous offence; since its an nexation, are said to be comparatively uncommon in the Punjab, thuggee to be extinct, and gang robbery nearly unknown. Riots and affrays are not numerous, and, when they happen, usually arise from passion and impulse, seldom from premeditation and revenge. Murder is the most common of the heinous crimes, not for purposes of spoliation, but from the uncontrolled impulse of a people peculiarly sensitive to injury, and ready to revenge it. The same nnay be said of the rajpoots, and many of the higher castes and classes in Oudh, and even of some classes of the population as low down as the province of Behar. Among all these people— woman is usually an interminable cause of crime—jealousy, and the rage consequent on it, ending too often in the murder of the weaker party. In Lower Bengal wife-murder is probably as frequent, but from no chivalrous impulse. Cattle theft, again, is an endemic crime in all the pastoral districts of India which afford facilities for its commission, and consequently present difficulteis in its detection. In the Punjab it assumes the dignity of an honourable calling, in proof of which an eminent authority on the subject has re corded that boys are taught to earn their first turban by the theft of a buffalo or a cow. In that province, under the vigorous rule of the Lawrences and Sir R. Montgomery, it has been the subject of special legislation, and a combi nation of fine, flogging, and imprisonment is said to be rapidly reducing it. The bulk of the criminal population of most parts of India consists of burglars and thieves, and the cause of this is easily determined. Houses Are ex tremely insecure, there being usually but a mud or aremat wall to oppose the entrance of a robber. Money iscaeiY ever invested—probably never by the bulk of commu nity—anditahe theform of coin or of gold and silver ornaments, or th the wealth of the majority is which the crucible of the receiver of stolen goodes ng is el always ready. The temptation to steal, from the facility of con cealment and ease of execution, is conse q uentl y irresistible kept m a t l ie s to the idle and dissipated, who abound in most Indian communities, and are nowhere more w Lower Bengal. The rivears fresh -water pirates, are also Eastern than in stern numerous Bengal, who may fairly beregarded numerous, a source of much mischief to river traffic, and difficult to apprehend a nd convict. The class of profes sional beggars is a l so numerous, and I believe usually travel a fakuiers or religious mendicants. As a r ule, in Bengal, the s majority of perso ns convicted of misdemeanours are agriculturiete or landed proprietors." LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER. The committee of B and C shareholders of the Metropolitan Extension undertaking of this company state in their report that the first point to which they gave their attention was the actual amount of cash realised' out of the various amounts of capital authorised by Parliament to be charged on the me tropolitan section, which was found (including £748,883 103. transferred from the common fund capital account, and £200,000 received from the London rand South-Western Railway Company) to amount to £4,612,318, and that the actual cash payments were £4,329,019 ; leaving a balance of £283,229, exclusive of £128,074 which the com mittee claim to have been improperly debited to the Metropolitan Extensions. The claims for land unpaid for on the Metropolitan Extensions were £124,936, and for costs £67,114, together £192,050; which, had they been paid, would still have left a balance of £91,248 in favour of the Metropolitan Extensions. The money received for the Metropolitan Extensions was, by the several Acts of Parliament, directed to be applied only for metropolitan extensions ; and the committee there fore found that it had been misapplied to the ex tent of £283,229. The balance of £58,902, due for metropolitan traffic to the 30th of June last, was also retained by the late directors, or misap plied by them, instead of being made available for the debenture interest then due, and the committee anxiously await the adjustment of this balance. To preclude a repetition of wrongs and for the protec tion of the Metropolitan Extensions, the committee had suggested for the consideration of the directors that provision should be made by the bill now pending in Parliament : " That these Metropolitan Extensions shall be distinctly and effectually represented at the Board. That the liabili ties of each section shall be distinctly confined to such section. That the liability to interest on any money bor rowed shall be confined to the money actually expended on each section, That the through tolls and short traffic tolls shall be rearranged in Parliament; these tolls having originally been fixed on an estimated outlay of £2,200,000, whereas the outlay sanctioned by Parliament has been £5,733,000. That the cash duo to the Metropolitan Ex tensions shall be recognised by the pending bill as a debt due to the Metropolitan Extensions, ',and shall be secured accorlingly ; and that such other provisions shall be in troduced in the-bill now pending as the counsel for the committee shall consider necessary." The Committee stated that they had 'received the distinct assurance of the Board of their concurrence in those views that the Metropolitan Extensions should be protected against any greater amount of liability than for the amount expended on or for the purposes of the Metropolitan Extensions. The Committee felt convinced that it was to the in terest of the B and C shareholders that the Board of Directors should be supported in every legitimate way ; that should the proposal of the directors be defeated, then that the deben ture and shareholders in the Metropolitan Extensions should apply to Parliament for authority to raise by preference, stock a sufficient amount of money to discharge the liabilities of the Metropoli tan Extensions, and for the severance of the Metro politan lines from the general undertaking, on the ground of the unparliamentary and reckless issue of their capital, the misapplication of their moneys, the mismanagement of their affairs, and the inability of the general undertaking effectually to work the line, giving to the general undertaking running powers into London, but subject thereto, authorising the Metropolitan Extensions to enter into a working agreement with the Great Northern, the South- Western, the Great Western, the Midland, and the Metropolitan for the user of the Metropolitan lines, and to which the Brighton Company might also be admitted. The Committee impressed upon the B and C shareholders that the present net earnings of the Metropolitan lines were now equal to paying 4 per cent. on all the debentures charged on the Metropolitan section ; that they were induced to subscribe under false representations, and that £2,075,860 of the shareholders' capital was absorbed in rebates. The Committee, after considering the claims of B and C shareholders against illessrs. Pcto for the interest accrued on such shares to the 31st of December last, had thought it their duty to pro ceed against Messrs. Peto, and proceedings had been instituted accordingly. The Committee appointed by the main line share holders (Beckenham to Dover) have also just issued their report. It states that the late board of directors and the alleged agents had involved the main line by improper issue of capital, unauthorised expenditure, and likewise in serious claims, 'for which the share holders could not be held responsible. The Kent Coast and Sevenoaks agreement for working leases did not appear to have been properly entered into. The Committee were of opinion that, but for the new engagements contracted by the late directors in and subsequently to the year 1860, the original shareholders might at the present time have been in the receipt of a satisfactory dividend. The commit tee believed that much might be altered and ad justed, as the shareholders were not legally bound to continue some of the existing arrangements. The committee could not discover any parliamen tary sanction or authority for the issue of some of the capital in the manner specified in the report of the late Committee of Investigation, and state that some of the recitals in the Acts of Parliament for obtainingcapital powers werepositively untrue. The committee had already taken steps towards the preparation and introduction of a bill into Parlia ment to authorise certain necessary changes, and for placing the management of the main line under the control of the shareholders. The committee be lieved it would be entirely in the interest of the various sections secured upon the main line to assist them in their efforts, and that it was especially so of the debenture holders secured upon any portion of the main line. In the contemplated bill in Parlia ment provision was intended to be made for autho rising a full inquiry into the past management of the company, and for adjusting the rights of the Metropolitan Extension and other sections in a satis factory and expeditious manner, and also to provide for raising the means for completing the unfinished parts of the undertaking. The committee agreed with the directors of the company in thinking that each section of the undertaking could best regard MADAME TIISSAIM'S EXHIBITION, BAKER-STREET. CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS.

JOHN WHITE, Manufacturer, 228, Piocadillyj IRELAND. DUBLIN, Jan. 31. The Drawing-room at the Castle last night was most numerously attended. Seldom if ever has St. Patrick's-hall been crowded with a more brilliant assembly of the aristocracy from all parts of the kingdom. A man named Farrell was arrested last night for laying fog signals on Cork-hill, one of which was exploded by a carriage on its way to the Castle. The election of a member for the borough of Armagh, in the place of Mr. S. B. Miller, who has been appointed one of the judges in the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Court, Dublin, took place yester day morning. At 10 o'clock, Mr. J. Vance, the late member for the city of Dublin, accompanied by many friends and supporters, entered the court, and was received with great enthusiasm. Mr. A. Craig, High Sheriff, having read the writ, Mr. W. Paton proposed Mr. Vance as a fit and proper per - son to represent the borough in Parliament. He was no novice. He had sat in the House 14 years. He promised to maintain the constitution and the institutions of the country, and Mr. Paton thought they should return him without any pledge. Mr. Boyd seconded the nomination. No other candi date being proposed, the Sheriff declared Mr. Vance duly elected, amid loud cheers. In returning thanks, Mr. Vance spoke at consider able length on the subject of Parliamentary Reform. He made the following reference to Mr. Bright : " Mr. Bright supported the Representation of the People Bill brought forward by the late Government, not from any love of the measure itself, but in order to give an op portunity for bringing forward one of his own, the effect of hich would have ultimately been to make the House of Commons the solo goveraing body in the State, to overawe. and overwhblm the House of Lords, and to have deprived the Queen of all her prerogatives. He would have thoroughly Americanised our institutions, and paved the way to his object—the formation 'of 4 model republicupon the system of the United States of America. I believe that, notwith standing his character there has been a covert understand ing between Mr. Gladstone, Lord Russell, and himself with respect to his support in the House of Commons. But it was reserved for the banquet in Dublin to display the coali tion really existed between certain members of her Majesty's late Government and Mr. John Bright. That banquet was shunned by nearly all the gentry of any station in Ireland, and by all the mercantile men in Dublin with one or two exceptions ; but it was attended by the Attorney and Solicitor Generals of the late Government, thereby showing the understanding that existed between the late Government and Mr. John Bright, whom they find it con venient sometimes to repudiate." Having noticed various measures which were ex pected to come before Parliament in the approach ing session, the hon. member thus concluded : , 4 I have to ask a favour at your hands. Lord and Lady Abercorn give this evening their first drawing-room. There will be a considerable attendance from the north of Ireland, and as I shall not be able to attend at the second drawing room, for your business will interfere with that, I am anxious to be present to-night ; for this purpose I must ask your permission to leave you at an early hour this after noon. lam desirous of receiving the congratulationspro bably of his Excellency, at any rate of my friends, on the high honour you have this day conferred on me." There was a most important public meeting of a highly representative and influential character held at the Mansion-house yesterday to consider the subject of railway reform. The Lord Mayor pre sided, and in his opening statement gave a clear view of its character and objects. His lordship said : "The meetingwas convened in compliance with a requisi tion addressed to him—a requisition as numerously and influentially signed as any ever drawn up on any subject concerning Ireland. He wasproud to see present so many who were eminent in every part of the country by their position, in connection with agriculture and commerce, and with all the great industries of Ireland. He was truly proud to see them there to advance a step nearer to suc cess, in a matter which he thought lay at the root of much of the future of Ireland's prosperity. This was the third, meeting that had taken place in the Mansion-house on the subject, and the same principle had been insisted on by all the resolutions, viz., a change in the system of railways in Ireland, which, while it would not interfere with private property, would facilitate transit and develops the com merce of the country. He thought the present meeting one for the assertion of principles, which he took to be—first, that the Government should purchase the Irish railways ; secondly, that they should work the lines themselves, or lease them; or, thirdly, that by loans advanced on advan tageous terms they should assist the existing lines, and make and maintain lines to develops the traffic of the coun try. He trusted that before Parliament was long assem bled they would have an explicit statement from the Go vernment that they meant to undertake this matter, and that not in a niggardly spirit, but in one consonant with the wishes of the whole country." These positions were set forth in a series of resolu tions, which were ably supported by a number of speakers, particularly Lord Dunboyne, the Mayor of Limerick, Mr. Tait, Mr. Joseph Pim, Mr. M'Carthy Downing, Sir John Gray, Colonel Knox Gore, Mr. Dennehy, and Mr. Edward Fox. The meeting was also addressed by Sir Benjamin Mor ris, Mayor of Waterford ; Mr. J. L. Naper, Mr. O'Hara, D.L., Galway; Mr. Lyons, Mayor of Sligo, Mr. Greene, Mayor of Wexford ; Alderman Rey nolds, Mr. Lanyan, M.P., Mr. Pim, M.P., Mr. Galway, Sheriff of Waterford ; Mr. Marcus Good body, Mr. Bloomfield, Mr. Bagot, and Mr. Barring ton. The resolutions were all passed unanimously, and the meeting was most harmonious. A memo rial to the Lord-Lieutenant was adopted, and also one to the Prime Minister. The speaking was re markably argumentative and judicious, and great confidence was expressed that the Government would comply with the prayer of .the memorial— which it will be certainly hard to refuse, especially as " begging" was unanimously and strongly repu diated. Mr. William Dargan still survives, but his death is hourly expected. The report of the directors of the Munster Bank, which has just been issued, shows the concern to be in a highly , prosperous condition. The profits of the half-year, in cluding £4,031 10s. received in premiums on shares, amount to £21,512 17s. 4d., and after providing for all expenses, bad debts, &c., there remains a sum of £10,567 18s. 3d. for division among the shareholders. The directors propose to pay a dividend of 6 per cent., and to write off 10 per cent. of the preliminary expenses, which will absorb £3,512 125., and to carry the balance, £7,055 6s. 3d., to the reserve, which will raise the amount of the undivided profits to £28,608 4s. 2d.
