(Sittings in Banco before the Lord Chief Baron and Baron Pigott.) EAST GLOUCESTERSHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY V. BA RTHOLOM O.W AND OT HERS.--.IMPORTANT TU SHAREHOLDERS. This was an action brought by the East Glou cestershire Railway Company to recover the amount of calls on some shares in that company, held by the defendants. The case was tried at Croydon, at the last assizes before Mr. Justice Black, when a verdict was given for the defendants. During the present sittings in term a rule was obtained for a new trial and to set aside the verdict. It appeared that the point of law to be decided was whether the defendants were qualified so as to be legally termed shareholders, or whether they were merely contributories or subscribers. It wes acknowledged that the defendants had paid upon three calls, bat it was contended that it was only one-fifth at each call ; that the company were not justified in putting him on the register, inasmuch as the register was a list to show what responsibility the company really had at its back. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Jones and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., were counsel in the case. Rule absolute. COURT OF PROBATE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde.) PEARSE V. PEARSE AND OTHERS. The further hearing of this cause was resumed this morning. A number of medical witnesses were called, who stated their opinion that Mr. Pearce was suffering from softening of the brain, and al though it was not noticeable during the period when his mind was occupied with business matters, still, looking at all the surrounding circumstances of his domestic life, they could not do otherwise than con clude that it was so. The post-mortem examina tion also conduced to this supposition. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. At the conclusion of this evidence Mrs. Pearse was recalled and questioned as to the authenticity of a letter from her late husband, and which stated that he had as a last resort put into writing what his determination was with regard to a separation ; and, farther, complained of the wretched life which her unkindness had inflicted upon him. This letter Mrs. Pearse acknowledged having received. The learned counsel on both sides then addressed the Court on behalf of their respective clients, and reviewed very minutely the whole of the evidence. The Court reserved judgment. LIFEBOAT SERVICES. LOWESTOFT, Nov. 18. During a very strong gale from E.N.E. yester day morning a torchlight was seen burning as a signal of distress from a vessel ashore on the New combe Sand, near this place (reports Capt. Preston, R.N.) The Lowestoft lifeboat in connection with the National Lifeboat Institution was at once launched, but in consequence of the wind being nearly full on the beach, the boat could not be got off for some time. Ultimately she was enabled to proceed to the sands, when the brigantine Medora, of Yarmouth, was found to have parted from her anchors. The lifeboat took off the two men left on board the vessel and brought them safely ashore. The remainder of the crew, three in number, were unfortunately drowned before the arrival of the lifeboat. BACTON, NORFOLK, Nov. 18. Early this morning (states Mr. W. Cubitt) guns and rockets were discharged from the Hasborough Sands, off this coast, indicating that a vessel was in distress there. The three lifeboats of the National Lifeboat Institution, stationed respectively at 'Mu n desley, &Leto]; and Hasborough, were soon afloat and on their way to the sands. The first-named boat being four miles to windward, was the first to reach the floating light, and is now seen in the off ing towing in a boat, supposed to contain the strande I vessel's crew. The post is starting, so I am unable to .give you any further intelligence at present. BEMBRIDGE, ISLE OF WIGHT, Nov. 18. A :brig was observed to anchor in a dangerous position off Sea View, Isle of Wight, on the after noon of the 16th inst. (says Captain 111‘Donald, R.N.). The crew of the City of Worcester life boat, of the National Lifeboat Institution, which boat was only stationed hero last month, were at once mustered and kept in readiness in the event of their services being required to the vessel, as the wind was blowing a pie from the E.N.E. right on shore. On the following day it was decided to send off the lifeboat to attempt to get the vessel under weigh, and acting under the advice thns sent him, the master rau his ♦essel for Bembridge Har bour, where she "arrived in safety. A vessel had previously gone to her assistance, but had failed to reach her. The endangered brig was the Bessie, of Sunderland, bound to that port from Southampton, in ballast. DOVER, Nov. 18. Mr. C. Marsh supplies some further particulars of the very prompt and gallant first services of the Royal Wiltshire lifeboat on that station. Ile says that during the heavy gale from the eastward on Sunday morning, two schooners brought up in the bay, and as the gale and sea increased they let go their second anchors, which held them for a time, but at last the vessels commenced to drag, especially the one to leeward. The sea oc casionally broke over the bows of the latter vessel and completely swept her docks. She was anxiously watched from the shore, and as she was seen to be fast approaching near to and within the line of the Admiralty Pier, and to be thus in a most dangerous position, the Royal Wiltshire lifeboat, of the National Lifeboat Institution, was got ready to go to her assistance. The sea was now running heavily, and breaking, with severe force over the pier, and as it would have been impossible for the crew to row the boat round the pierhead and up to the vessel in the teeth of the wind, tide, and sea, the aid of one of the mail steamers of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (then lying with steam up under shelter of the pier), was solicited, and readily given by Captain Clark. The lifeboat was then manned and lauuched•—a large concourse of people cheering her gallant crew—and taken in tow by the steamer. Although the Royal. Wilt shire was several times struck by heavy seas which almost submerged her for a time, she rose again buoyantly, and behaved remarkably well, affording the crew the greatest possible confidence in her capabilities. The steamer having got t o wind ward of the schooner, cast the boat off, when she was soon pnt alongside the vessel. The master then requested that the boat would remain by him, in case his cables parted or his vessel drove nearer the pier, as in either event he should then seek safety in the lifeboat. The boat rode by the vessel some time until the tide permitted her to slip from her anchors, w h en , w ith the ass i stance of a steam tug, she was safely taken into harbour. The boat then returned to shore, and with some little diffi culty was hauled up and placed on her carriage ready for further use if necessary. The crew were thoroughly drenched, and were much exhausted by the cold and wet, but their wants were speedily attended to at the Dover Sailors' Rome, the Rev. W. Yate having made every preparation for them. Although the lifeboat was not ultimately required, still this service was a most important ono, as in the absence of the boat, had the vessel gone against the pier probably not a soul of the crew would have been saved. She was the Kennedy, of Initstable, bound to Dover with coals. "Dear Sirs,—l was for years a great sufferer from dyspepsia, accompanied with heartburn, spasms, and severe cramps and pains in the stomach, for which I tried a num ber of medicines to no purpose, until a friend persuaded me to try your Pain Killer, which gave me immediate re lief.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.--This Dar OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Channel].) CHARGE OF FORGERY AGAINST A SOLICITOR. Edwin Francis Hill, 36, solicitor, was indicted for feloniously forging and uttering a certain power of attorney, to transfer a certain share and interest in certain stock and annuities, to wit £lOO per Cent. Consolidated Batik Annuities, standing in the names of John and Matthew Bartlett, with int mt to defraud the Bank of England. From the evidence it appeared that a sum of 93- wards of £6OO in Bank of England stock was teld in trust by Messrs. Bartlett for their rist Mary Ann Hill, the defendant's wife. The defe a dant had been a solicitor in Victoria, Australia, a, c d had expressed himself anxious that a portion of the stock should be sold out in order that he might. be enabled to bring his wife home to England, but Mr. Matthew 'l'. Bartlett refused his con sent to the necessary power of attorney Subsequently, however, the defendant presented a transfer for £lOO of the stock to a firm of stock brokers and obtained the proceeds of the sale, but Mr. M. 'l'. Bartlett declared that the writing pur porting to be his signature to the document was a forgery, and it was likewise shown that the defen dant had applied the money to the payment of some debts. The examination of the two brothers Bartlett occupied a very long time in consequence of their deafness, which required every question to be re peated to them through one of the ushers of the court. The defendant denied altogether the charge, and the jury had not returned their verdict when we went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. THE POLICE AND THE FOREIGN PROSTITUTES AT TILE WEST-END.—Sylvine Convell, Amantine Caen bergh, and Emma Merthe, three foreign prostitutes, were charged before Mr. Knox with behaving in a disorderly manner in Regent -street. Sergeant George Appleton, 26 C, said that shortly after 11 o'clock last night he saw the three prisoners standing at the corner of Regent-circus, by the County Fire-office. Having cautioned them several times against annoying gentlemen, and seeing them annoy four or five as they passed to and fro, he took them into custody. Mr. Knox asked if any of the inhabitants were • present to complain. Sergeant Appleton replied in the negative, and said that the prisoner Amantine had only just re turned from Belgium, and had not given the police much trouble. Mr. Knox told the prisoner Amantine that as the police said that she was a comparative stranger here, and was not much trouble to them, he would discharge her, but ho would caution her not to get into such a scrape again. The prisoner Sylvine said she had just come from Australia. Mr. Knox told the sergeant that he should like some of the inhabitants to come forward and make complaints as they used to do. Sergeant Appleton said that it was difficult to get the inhabitants to come, as what took place was at a late hour. Mr. Knox said the sense of the Act was that where an inhabitant or passer-by was annoyed they should come forward and complain, and not leave it to the police. It was not a safe precedent for him to act in the matter. When Mr. Dolby and other gentlemen came forward and complained, he (Mr. Knox) put the law in force, and a stop was put to the nuisance. ft was a duty cast upon the inhabi tants and passers-by who were annoyed, and they should come forward and protect themselves. If any inhabitant thought proper to come forward and com plain, he (Mr. Knox) would put the law in force. He did not think he should be justified in acing in the present case, and should discharge the prisoners, but would advise them not to get into a scrape again. Flora Brown and Cecilia Rosines were charged with a similar offence. Brailall, 158 0, saw the prisoners at the County Fire-office making a disturbance and annoying gentlemen, who refused to go to the station, and he then took them into custody. Sergeant Appleton, 26 C, said that he had known Brown for years as what was termed a " Driver," that was a woman who drove young women about for the purpose of making them accost every gentle man they passed. Mr. Knox dis charged the prisoners for the same reason, as above stated. Blanche Lenor, a young Frenchwoman, was charged with a similar offence. Mr. Knox said that some time ago the inhabitants of Regent-street waited on Sir R. Mayne, who referred them to the law, and told them that they had only to interfere themselves. It was a monstrious evil, but it was one which would cure itself. If the nuisance went on all the inhabitants would have to do would be to in terfere as they did before, and clear the street. He doubted his powers under the clause of the Act of Parliament, and he thought as the law was left the inhabitants must appear, and he should therefore discharge the prisoner unless an inhabitant -ap peared.

HIRED BRAVOES —EXTRAORDINARY CASE. —T wo rough-looking lads, one about 18, the other 16 years of age, named Thomas Drummond and Edward Lundy, shoeblacks and the associates of thieves, were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with as saulting and robbing Julia Schwarkenbeck, a native of Germany. The complainant, a very respectable and modest young woman, is the wife of a sailor, and dwelling at No. 103, Ratcliff-highway. She was passing along a street called Bluegate-fields, leading out of the highway, yesterday evening at half-past five o'clock, when she was suddenly attacked by the prisoners, who tore her chignon and hair net from her bead, and tore her jacket. She screamed and called out " Police, police, police, murder. " The prisoners ran away with her chignon and hair net, leaving her on -the ground. Her own hair remained on her head uninjured. The police were immediately communicated with, and Drummond was arrested the same evening at the Bull's Head publichouse, lligh-street, Shadwell, and the other at a house of bad repute in Perseve rance-place, Ratcliffe-highway. The prisoners told the police constables Itobgent and Long, who took them into custody, that they were told by a woman named Nortiman, a boarding-house keeper, in Albert•street, Shad well, to rob prosecutrix of her wig, and give her two black eyes. They were to be paid ss. for their trouble. It was explained by the complainant that she formerly lived with Mrs.Norti man, ani that they had quarrelled. The prisoners denied that they intended to rob Mrs. Schwarkenbeck, and admitted they were hired by Mrs. Nortiman to pull the corn! lainant's wig off and give her two black eyes, and the reason they attacked her was that Mrs. Schwarkenbek had pro mised them 21. for breaking Mrs. Nortirnan's windows. Two respectable witnesses said that M rs . Schwarkenbeck went out with her chignon secured in the usual manner, and she returned without it, and with her dress turn. Mr. Paget acquitced the prisoners on the charge of robbery. It was evident they were prepared to receive 2s fir breaking Mrs. Nortiman's windows or 5s to blacken Nlrs. Sehwarkeubeek's eyez. 'i h e complainant had fortunately preserved her eyes from injury. A gross and unjustifiable assault had been committed on the complainant by two young ruffians. lie sentenced the prisoners to one month's imprisonment and bard labour for the assault on the complainant, MADAME TUSSAUCS.—A very finely-executed portrait-mode], life size, of the late unfortunate Emperor Maximilian, attired in a fac-simile dress to the one he wore on the morning of his execution, has been just added to Madame Tussaud's exhibition, Baker-street. The likeness is unquestionably most striking, the model being from the only painted portrait el the Emperor. BRITISI4 Cam. Consol.

She brings 36 passengers, specie to the amount of sBBl,746—consisting of $119,728 'in gold, $162,018 in silver, pearls valued at $11,500, diamonds valued at $3,375, 290 serons Indiarubber, 236 serons indigo, 195 bales tobacco, 59 casks of coffee, 75 bales cascarilla, 212 serous bark, and 106 packages of sundries.

During her passage home one death took place on board the Douro, a man named Pett. No cases of yellow fever had occurred.

THOMAS, Nov. 5. On the 19th ultimo St. Thomas and the sur rounding islands were visited by a severe hurricane. At St. Thomas great damage was done among the shipping, about 80 vessels being sunk or blown ashore. In the town houses were unroofed, and in many cases thrown down by the gale, and by three shocks of earthquake which occurred at the same timo. Business was completely at a standstill for several days. Tortola was also visited by tire hur ricane, and several houses were blown down. The report of its being submerged is contradicted by the captain of the Solent, which vessel lay about two miles from the town. He states as his belief that not more than 100 lives were lost on that island, and those only by the fall of houses. The Royal Mail Company's steamship Wye was totally wrecked on Buck Island while at tempting to put out to sea. Out of 70 men only 13 of her crew were saved. Among them were five whites, including the captain, the chief officer, and the boiler maker ; all the rest were drowned. The captain was on board the Tyno at the time. The Rhone was wrecked off Salt Island, about 25 miles from St. Thomas, while endeavouring also to get out to sea. She was driven on to a reef and broke up. The captain and all the officers were lost, and only one passenger and 23 of the crew were save. The Conway was blown ashore at Tortola, where she lost her funnels and masts, but was otherwise uninjured, and may be got off. The Derwent was blown ashore from her moorings in St. Thomas's harbour and much damaged. The Tyne and Solent rode out the gale at Paper Island at anchor, with her engines working ahead. The Tyne lost her foremast, and the Solent three masts. None of the crews of the Conway, Derwent, Tyne, or Solent perished. The following are the crew of the Rhone who were saved :—George Sherwood, boatswain ; Geo. Olderman, captain of the hold ; Charles Mudie, boatswain's mate.. Able seamen—J. L. Eaton *Kean, George Wallace, Frederick Hannaford, John Pihner, Charles Brunswick. Ordinary sea men—John Bailey, John Askell, John Manns, Henry Buckle, David Reece, John Jones, Thomas Tugnarn, Frederick Pearie, Francis Buowen, Charles Berrie, Robert Barter, Auguste Jaurion, John Bryan. During the hurricane the Vasco Nunez de Bilboa, a Spanish war vessel, was dismasted in St. Thomas' harbour, and otherwise damaged, but was able to steam about the harbour, saving as many lives of the other damaged vessels as possible. _ H.M.S. Doris arrived at St. Thomas Nov. 5, and the Niobe was expected. The following are among the further damages done to the shipping at St. Thomas's :—The West Indian and Pacific steamship Columbian was sunk in St. Thomas's harbour alongside other wrecks. The steamer Robert Todd was ashore much damaged ; the Agnes Lamb dismasted and much damaged, the barque Howard ditto, Her Majesty ashore and a complete wreck, R.

The Douro experienced unfavourable weather throughout the voyage —strong north -easterly winds, often amounting to a gale, with heavy sea., The Conway is again afloat. The Tyne went to windward with the Douro's out mail, and the Solent to Jamaica and the Isthmus. The Tarnar brings the next home mail. IMPERIAL FARM AIUNri: HOUSE OF LOR7)S—Tins EVENING.

CECIL gave notice to move for a Royal com mission to inquire into the state of military education in this country, and also to inquire into the system carried on at Woolwich and Se.odhurst. UONS ULCAMERON Colonel SY:i.ES asked the Secretary of State for War whether Consul Cameron had a commission in her Ma jesty's army at present, and whether ho formerly held a commission ; and if so, what were the alleged reasons for his retirement ? Sir J. PAKINGTON said Consul Cameron did not at the present time hold a commission in the army. He had on a former occasion held a commission as ensign from 1846 to 1851, and he then sold out in consequence of his being unable to obtain promotion under the purchase system. He afterwards settled at Natal and served during the Caffre war, for which services he received the Cape war medal. He afterwards served under Sir F. Williams at Kars, holding the local rank of captain, which rank of course ceased on• the close of the war. Ho had received testimonials from General Williams with respect to the services of Consul Cameron, all of which spoke in the highest terms of his bravery and ability. (lioar, hear). SALE OF CATTLE AT FAIRS. In reply to Mr. HODOKINSON, Lord It. MONTAGU said there would be no objection to grant sale licenses to fairs under certain regulations. Mr. HODGKINSON asked whether cattle could be sent to those fairs with passes. Lord R. MONTAGU replied in the affirmative. THE RIVER THAMES. Mr. CRAWFORD asked the Vice-President of the Board of Trade whether it was true that the navigation of the river Thames was in danger of being obstructed by the formation of mud banks near the outfall of the main drainage sewers at Crossness and Barking Reach ? Mr. CAVE said iu the summer an obstruction occurred near Barking Reach, and a survey was ordered by the Board of Conservancy, which reported that there were mud banks six feet in height off the main drainage outfall at Barking Reach. A portion of the deposit had been sent to Dr. Letheby, whose opinion was, that the mud was decidedly the deposit of sewage in an advanced state of decomposition. The conservancy had given directions for the removal of the inudbanks, and during the op , rations there need be no fear of the navigation of the river being interfered with. There was, however, some difference of opinion between the Biard of Works as to the liability of the latter to perform the work. There would be no objection to lay the papers connected with the subject on the !able if required. ABYSSINIA. Mr. CRAWFORD Ta:kecitleSdcrotary of State for India whetherany arrangements were being made for con necting by telegraph the port of disembarkation of the expeditionary force on the coast of Abyssinia with the ports of Suez and Aden. Sir S. \ORTHCOTE said no arrangements of the kind had been made. A proposal had been made to him by the Telegraph Maintenance Complay which ho could not entertain, and he bad on that made a counter proposition to the company, but he did not think there was much hope that the proposal would be accepted. STAFF APPOINTMENTS. Sir P. O'BRIEN asked the Secretary of State for War when the returns relative to staff appointments, ordered in June last, would be laid upon the table. Sir J. PAKINGTON said he hoped to be able to lay the reports on the table in a few days. THE CASE OF MAGUIRE. Mr. WATKIN, in reference to the case of Maguire, who had received an unconditional pardon with respect to the conviction that had been obtained against him at Man chester, said the man. had served 13 years in Her Ma jesty's service, and he hoped he would not be deprived of the benefits of that service, because if so he would suffer great injustice. Sir J. PAKINGTON said he would state what was to be done in the course of a few days. Mr. CORRY said perhaps his hon. friend would allow him to make the announcement that Maguire had been restored to his position in her Majesty's service. (Hear, hear.) THE METROPOLIS REGULATION BILL. Mr. HARDY said it had been found that a certain clause in the bill, which received the sanction of Parlia ment just before the close of last session,. if put into full operation would work with great injustice to a large number of industrious people. He therefore had to introduce a bill to remedy that state of things. (Hear, hear.) The measure he now had the honour to lay on the table was a very short one, with but one clause, which was to the effect that the section in the Metro polis Traffic Act should not apply to costermongers, street hawkers, and street traders so long as they complied with the regulations laid down by the Commissioners of Police. (Hear, hear.) Mr. AYR VON said the present bill was the result of hasty legislation, but whilst so much consideration was paid to the costermongers, some consideration should be given to the shopkeeper, who paid rates, while the costertnonger did not. There were many other matters in the bill which required reconsideration, and he hoped the house would not agree to pass the bill now introduced until some other matters which required consideration were disposed of. Sir G. BOWYER said that when they were considering the matter something ought to be done to limit the powers of the Commissioners of Police, and if no one else felt dis posed to take the matter up he would, and he should be prepared to propose a remedy, and also to make the Com miesioners of Police responsible for what they did. Alderman LAWRENCE said there were other persons besides the costermougerswho hadhardships to complain of There were the cab drivers and cab proprietors. They were by the bill to provide lamps to their cabs, which would entail very great expanse on them, without any material benefit to the public. Ho hoped their. grievance would not be overlooked. Mr. HARDY said the grievances of all parties could not be redressed at once, and if it was proposed so to do it would be impos ibis to pass the bill during the present shot% session. With respect to the grievances of the cab proprietors, he did not think their grievances had been so fully proved. They, in fact, when they waited upon him, wished for a consolidation of the law. The instance of the lamps he did not think a great hardship because nearly every Hansom cab, previous to the passing of the bill, carried one, but which they put out immediately the bill passed, because, ho supposed, they objected to any compulsory enactment. The lamp of the Hansom cab was very ad vantageous, because it enabled them to be hailed seine distance away; and with respect to the four-wheeled cabs he thought a compromise might be made by their placing one lamp on the splash board, which might very easily be arranged. The subject then dropped, and leave was given to in troduce the bill. THE CONDEMNED CONVICTS. Mr. MAGUIRE moved the adjournment of the house, in order to make an appeal to her Majesty's Govern ment to delay the execution of the four persons now under sentence of death at Manchester. He said there were circumstances connected with the trial which loudly called for delay ; the evidence had in one case broken down, and if the men were executed before all the judges had iull3 reconsidered the whale of the evidence, the most lamentable consequences would result. lie thought the whole of the judges should be called upon to consider the point of law that had been raised at the trial, he called upon the Government to du that, and not perpetrate that which might be called legal murder. Mr. FAWCETT thought some differonel ought to be made between the man Allen, who actually fired the shot, and the other three ineil who had not committed so great a crime. Sir G. BO W YER thought the execution of the men ought to be suspended until the pciut of law had been de cided by all the judges. Sergeant GAZELLE, and other members, urged for postponement. Mr. HARDY said ho was placed in a most painful position, because to do as the hon. gentleman opposite required, he called upon him to do an illegal act. The point referred to had ho believed been fully considered, and Mr. Justice Blackburn had he believed consulted the whole of his brother judges on the point raised, and from not one had he received an opinion adverse to the judgment be hail formed. Mr. M. CHAMBERS thought the point should be refer red to the whole of the Judges for consideration. Mr. GLADSTONE thought the expression of such an opinion by so eminent a legal authority as his hon. and learned friend, deserved the deepest consideration. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said Mr. Justice Black burne bad consulted the whole . of tho judges b9f9re 11 9 decided the point ,raised was untenable, -- The houge then adjourned, here 20 st st 100
