MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCB, TWELVE O'CLOCK The condition of the Money Market remains un altered. Supplies are not quite so abundant, and the demand has rather increased. A continuance of this state of affairs is expected until after the payment of the dividends, when there will no doubt be larger accounts at command, and by some it is thought that a farther reduction of the Bank rate will then probably take place. At the Bank of England yesterday there was an influx of £l,OOO from Paris. The Giant's Causeway has arrived from Mel bourne with gold to the amount of £53,500. A circular has been issued by the committee of investigation of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway stating that, since their appointment on the sth March, they have devoted their earnest attention to the financial position of the company, but they find it will be impossible to present any report until they have made fuller investigation. They make an appeal to the holders of Divisional Bonds to retain for the present their coupons maturing on the Ist proximo, and their drawn Bonds, payable at the same date ; active legal proceedings have been instituted in America with a view to the protection of the property. With reference to the coupons on the Consolidated Bonds the committee will make further communi cation when they have completed the necessary arrangements, and in the meantime request the bondholders to return their coupons. The great failure of Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited) still exercises much and injurious influence upon the investing public. It is likely that the liquidators will be able to bring the winding up to a more satisfactory conclusion than was at one time expected. This, and indeed every other fact, in con nection with the history and condition of the com pany is lucidly set forth in a pamphlet by Mr. W. H. Wreford, of Old Broad-street, City. Moving in the inner circle as it were of monetary affairs, and among men of financial operations, Mr. Wreford had occa sion to watch the course of this company in its forty weeks' career, and to make himself acquainted with the various questions which have arisen before the Courts of Law, and between the shareholders and creditors, or at least that section of the shareholders called the Defence Association. A complete view of the whole case may be taken upon the pages of Mr. Wreford's pamphlet,who has done good service to the commercial and investing public by its publication. It contains a report of the great meeting of credi tors, the most full and particular that has yet ap peared, which will be useful to the shareholders, as well as the creditors, for future reference. During the last few days there has been very little animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Sugar has remained at about previous rates, while in tea scarcely any business has been transacted. Rice, however, has been in better de mand, and owing to the short supplies in the hands of importers prices have tended upwards. In tallow the operations have only been to a moderate extent, without, however, any material alteration in values. Two O'CLOCK.

The proceedings were taken under the 106th section of 24 and 25 Vic., cap. 134, relat ing to lunatic prisoners for debt. The detaining creditor, Mr. Sydney Smith, who arrested the bankrupt in Oct., 186 G, for £lO3, did not oppose, and the application was granted. The order for the bankrupt's removal to a lunatic asylum was then made ont. POLICE INTELLIGEME. — This Day, MARLBOROUGH-S TREE P. BEGGING CIIILDREN.—P. Delany, 9, J. Piper, 8, IL Yates, 10, and J. Wallace, 12, all decent looking boys, were charged liefore Mr. Tyrwhitt with begging in Oxford-street. C. Barnes, 83 0, proved seeing the boys, accompanied by two others a little older, going in turn to different public houses and coffee-shops in Oxford-street, for the purpose of soliciting alms, and ho afterwards saw them stop per sons in the street and beg, and he then took them into custody. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the constable stated that the boys said they were led away by the boys who escaped. Three of the boys had been bailed out, and were now better dressed than last night. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the boys said they were not sent out to beg by anybody, but tho two boys took them. The boys' parents, all respectable looking people, stood forward. The mother of Piper said her boy bad no occasion to go out to beg, his father being a sober and industrious man, and there being a good home. her boy was at school till fivo o'clock. Delany's father said his boy attended school, and had no necessity to beg. Wallace's father said he had a good home, but unfortu. natoly his wife having absconded his boy was loft with. oxt any ono to look after him while ho was out. Mr. Tyrwhitt said ho did not know what had led the boys to act as they had done. He would let thorn go home this time, and ho hoped their parents would correct them for doing what they had done, but if they were brought beforo him again he would send them to prison —a place which he did not suppose they would much like. rho boys then loft the court with their parents. THAMES. SMUGGLING EXTRAORDINARY. - Catherine Dodder, a Dutch woman, was charged with smuggling foreign manu factured cigars. The prisoner was a passenger on board the Waterloo from Rotterdam, and upon her arrival here on Saturday night Mr. Thomas Smith, an examining officor of Customs, received from another and subordinate officer a quantity of cigars which he said he found in the sleeping berth of a lady. Smith searched the berth, and discovered 14 large belts between the bed and the mattress. They con tained cigars of foreign manufacture. A lady's dress on the top of the berth was "overhauled and rummaged," in Customs phrase, and the breast part of the dress was filled with cigars, which Mr. Smith said would give the wearer of the dress the appearance of a full-breasted woman. The female searcher described the prisoner as having very little bosom. A rush basket was also found in the berth It contained cigars. The prisoner came on board yesterday to remove her things, and sho admitted that the dress with the "false breasts" in the front of it, the bolts, and the cigars, were her property. Mr. Smith valued the cigars at 365. The evidence, having been interpreted to the prisoner by Mr. George Wintjen, interpreter to the court, she said it was the first time she had ever done anything in the smug gling way, and that an Englishman put her up to it. The prisoner was fined 725., the double value of the cigars, and, in default of payment, was committed to pri son for a month. A SWEDISH SMUGGLER.—Aguste Andersen, a Swedish sailor, was charged with smuggling 81b. of manufactured ,obacco. The prisoner was leaving his ship off Limehouse-hole at 6 o'clock yesterday evening, and a Custom-house officer named Chason searched him, and found in his po , :,ekts 81b. of tobacco. The prisoner said he had been to Gottenborg, and that he bought the tobacco there. The value and duty of B]b. of tobacco amounted to 40s. The prisoner was stated to be the carpenter of the English ship Mary, trading between London and Gotten berg. The prisoner was fined the single value and duty, 40s. and in default committed to prison for 14 days. WESTMINS TER. TRH ORGAN-GRINDING NUISANC;.—RiCardo Eugennie, an organ-grinder, was charged with being drunk, and as saulting a gentleman who had requested a companion of his to move away from the neighbourhood of his house. Mr. Thomas C. Scome, residing at 14, Stanley Villas, Brompton, said that Mrs. Scome had been for some time in a very delicate state of health, and felt much annoyance from organ-grinders. Yesterday evening one of these men came to the corner of the street, opposite a house where they wore in the habit of receiving encouragement, and commenced playing. Complainant went out and told him to desist, and would have given him a penny had he done so at once, but he continued playing. Complainant was. standing perfectly quiet a little way off, when the defen dant, who had an organ at his back, came up and said something in reference to the other man who was playing, and because ho had not given him a penny knocked him down in the dirt by a violent push. Complainant's clothing was produced, covered with mud. An interpreter having communicated to defendant what the gentleman had said, Defendant replied, through the same means, that ho Was drunk, and did not remember what had occurred. Mr. Arnold—Although a' foreigner, he must be fully award that such outrageous conduct as this was would not bo permitted anywhere. Ile is committed for a month. LAMBETH. A DESTITUTE BOL—Henry Clifford, aged 10 years, was charged before Mr. Elliott with begging. Ho had boon soon on Saturday night last begging and receiving halfpence from persons in Dulwich. When questioned ho denied having any father or mother, but afterwards said it was a falsehood. The police constable who took him into cus tody said he ho was not only begging fur halfpence, but crying out he was starving. Mr. Elliott remandod him for further inquirios to be made. lIUNTINGD ON, Monday.—The re-election of Lord Robert Montagu, whose seat was vacated by his accept ance of the office of Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education, took place this day without opposi tion, the usual formalities having been gone through. APPRENTICES IN THE MERCHANT NAVY.—In tho nine years 1858-66 the number of apprentices bound and registered in British ships ranged from 5,451 in 186 G to 5,880 in 1862. The apprenticeship is most commonly for four years, but a considerable number wore bound for three or five years, some for six or seven years, and a few for still longer terms. The gold and silver product of the Pacific States and Territorites for tho year 1865 is estitn.ated at , $106,000,000. THE SUN, LON EON, TUESDA Y E VENING, MARCH 26 1867. I SSE, 6 6 1 if THE JAMAICA PROSECUTION. PROCEEDINGS AGAINST EX-GOVERNOR EYRE. MARKET DRAYTON, Monday. The proceedings against ex-Governor Eyre were commenced this morning before a special bench— Sir Baldwin Leighton, M.P., Colonel G. T. Hill, Egerton Harping, Esq., Major Broughton,- Henry Reginald Corbet, Esq., and John Tayleur, Esq. Mr. Fitzjames Stephen and Mr. T. Horne Payne instructed by Mr. Shaen (Shaen and Roscoe, solici tors to the Jamaica Committee), appeared on the part of the prosecutioti'; and Mr. John Anderson Rose, solicitor, attended on behalf of Mr. Eyre. The court was much crowded. • At the sitting of the Court Mr. Twemlow, the senior magistrate, said that having subscribed to the Eyre Defence Fund he did not think it right to act as a magistrate. The ordinary bench had requested Sir Baldwin Leighton to attend, and he would pre side. Mr. Fitzjames Stephen sail he had to apply for warrant, on the part of Mr. John Stuart Mill, the member for Westminster, against Mr. Edward John Eyre, the late Governor of Jamaica, for the murder of George William Gordon, at 11orant Bay, Jamaica, on the 23d of October, 1865. The learned counsel was proceeding to go over the same line of argu ment as he adopted at Bow-street police -court re Nelson and Brand, when the Chairman stopped him, as the bench thought that the whole of the matter would more properly be before them if the warrant was granted. Mr. Stephen had better, therefore, call evidence as to the facts. Mr. Fitzjames Stephen then called the following evidence Dr. Alexander Fiddes (examined by Mr. Stephen) said—l am a member of the Royal College of Sur geons at Edinburgh. '1 kneW the late George Win. Gordon. I believe him to have been condemned to death on no proper evidence to - warrant such an act. I believe it to have been illegal, and to have been murder in the contemplation of law, and those who were connected with it. I believe 11r. Edward John Eyre was a party to it. Mr. Edward John Eyre was the late Governor of Jamaica. Gordon was a civilian. SHARE MARKETS—This day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Railways.

The unfortunate disagreement was brought to a crisis this morning. The directors remained firm to the terms of the above circular, and the conse quence was that the firemen and drivers refused Ito resume work this morning. Such a circum stance, of course, caused the greatest incon venience; but the directors called all the available resources of the locomotive superintendents de partment into requisition, and they were thus en abled to prevent the entire suspension of traffic on the line. The great object with the directors was to keep the main line open, and in this they succeeded, but the trains were, of course, all delayed, and the mail bags from the different stations were not all delivered at the Post-office at 12 o'clock. The suburban traffic suffered the greatest amount of inconvenience ; and the immense number of gentlemen. holders of annual tickets, were unable, in many cases, to reach their offices until 12 o'clock at noon. The Crystal Palace traffic was damaged materially, as with the limited means at the command of the company they were compelled to make the despatch of trains in that direction according to circumstances. The com mencement of the races to-day at Epsom brought an immense number of persons to the station, but they were compelled to avail themselves of the facilities presented.by the South-Western Railway, and thus a great strain was put on the arrangements of that company. The arrival and departure platform at London bridge presented a very unusual appearance in con sequence of the unusual number of engine -drivers and firemen, many of whom formed themselves into little groups, and discussed the matters in dispute. At about one o'clock to-day the attendance became so large that orders were given to clear the plat forms of all persons not holding tickets, and thus the questions under discussion by the various groups were at once put an end to. 'Whether matters will be arranged during the day is more than doubtful, as the directors seem determined to adhere to their proposal, and the men themselves say they will not return to work until their demands are conceded. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. (This Day.) Market opens quiet. Sales probably 8,000 bales. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WARWICK SPRING MEETING.-MONDAY. This protracted meeting was at last put an end to this day, three steeplechase events being the last of the pro- - gramme. Notwithstanding the limited number of items, and one of them ending in a walk over, what there was of the sport was highly interesting. The big race (the Grand Annual) produced a field of fourteen runners, and was well worth witnessing. Shakspeare won easily at the finish, to the astonishment of all who believed that stay ing was not his forte, especially when the heavy state of the . grotind was taken. into consideration. -The Elk was backed by the duke's party on the faith of - a good Oita with Cortolvin, but failed to land their investments. BA ling on future events during the short sojourn on the course was remarkable chiefly for the rush of Foresight in the City and - Suburban cootat:ons, odds ns low as 7 to 1 being taken, which had . the effect of driving his stable companion, Thalia, to 100 to 3.

Fugloman, at the same fence, came to grief, and although instantly remounted, was virtually out of .the race. Gameboy, jumping magnificently, maintained his lead to the end, and won in a canter by sib lengths from Accident, Fugleman walking back to the enclosure.

The Doctor was first off, and led over the fence, but when they had fairly settled in their places Philosopher took up the running, closely attended by Hornet, Garus, Knave of Trumps, and Chimney Sweep, the others run ning in a cluster with the exception of Shakspeare, Sea King, King Arthur, and Fan, who brought up the rear. At the fence preceding the water jump Garus refused, and could not be persuaded to continue the contest, but the others all got well over, and took the water jump in the following order—Philosopher leading about a length, fol lowed by Hornet and Chimney Sweep, next to whom came Sea king, The Doctor, Clansman, and Hall Court, nearly abreast; Knave of Trumps, The Elk, Shakspeare, and Farnboro' in close company, being a dozen lengths in advance of Fan and King Arthur. With the exception of Philosopher increasing his lead, and Knave of Trumps refusing at the hill house fence, there was no material variation in their respective positions all round the course, the water jump being taken by the leading division the second time in precisely the same order as above, Farnboro' and King Arthur, at least twenty lengths in rear of everything, being judiciously stopped as they ascended the hill. Chimney Sweep, who had been going well, began now to give way, and before reaching the hill house fence he had disappeared from the front rank; Hall Court, on the other band, rushing through his horses, took up the running, followed' by Philosopher and Hornet side by side, but when they appeared in sight ou the far side Hornet had taken the lead, Philosopher, Hall Court, The Elk, Shakspeare, and The Doctor lying well I up with him, the remainder being now beaten off, the only ones persevered with being Clansman and Sea King. At the three-quarters of a mile post Philosopher. was beaten, the mher fivo lying in close company, .Hornet maintaining .the lead until fairly in the straight, where Hall Court and The Doctor gave way, Shakspeare lying wide on the right, Hornet next the rails, and The Elk in the centre of the course, commencing a desperate finish from the distance, but Mr. Goodman nursing his lors3 fora final effort, called upon him resolutely opposite the stand, and won by two lengths. The Elk defeated Hornet by a length for second money ; Hall Court was fourth, the Doctor fifth, Sea king sixth; Clansman seventh, and Philosopher walked in next. Chimney Sweep and Fan both pulled up when pursu was Lopeless. A Handicap. teeplechase of 5 Bove each, 2ft, with 50 added . . penalties and allowances. Two miles. 29 subs.

EPSOM The rain of yesterday has not rendered the course so heavy as was expected, for the wind was high during the night, and this morning the going was pretty satisfactory, which probably would not have been the case but for the chalky and absorbing na ture of the Downs. William Day was out early with Armourer, who followed Historian in a nice steady mile and a half gallop. Joseph Dawson sent Little Rover a mile and a quarter fast, and Qui Vire went uncommonly well. Goodwin did plenty work with Hatty, Prima Donna, and Panacea ; and William King with the Skipper and British Tar. Bates sent Deceiver nearly two miles, quietly though. Amongst William Goater's team were Longdown, Foresight, Timolaus, Ulphus, and Miller's Maid, all of whom galloped a mile and three-quarters freely, Longdown going as strong as a lion. The home lot did more or less work, ac cording to their requirements. John Dawson gave Mount Palatine and Rus in Urbe one mile fast, and the two-year-old .Gloire de Dijon cantered only. Henry Goater galloped Abcrgeldio and Defiance all a mile and a half, and both 'went beautifully. Mat DawsOn merely trotted Wild Agnes about, but Novice led Ninny and Osprey a mile pretty speedily. Sam Rogers vas paying great attention to Sydmontou and also gave Red Comyn a mile gallop. Jennings took Plutus a mile and three quarters gently. Dover gave the pretty and fast Hatchment three quarters of a mile spin. Bloss rattled Broomielaw along, and the horse moved beautifully. His temper has evidently improved. Shepherd's Treasure Trove attracted attention by the freedom with which he moved ; and so did Hayhoe's Jasper, who followed Tourmalin and Camilla a mile and three-quarters, the lot look ing very fit, as did Suffolk. The Amanda colt cantered freely, as - did the Irish horse Fitz-Ivan. Overture led the Mayonaise filly a mile and a half, and the latter moved superbly. Neither Clarice or Spes" took"iwith the "watchers." Moulsey and Jezabel did a mile and a quarter at three parts speed ; but we did not see Conundrum. In fact, the above were all that we noted that were active. PLARKETS.—This day. HAY. SMITHPIELD.—Meadow hay, £2 Iss to £4 153; clover, £4 Os to £5 lOs ; and straw, £2 Os to £2 6s per load.

WHITECHAPEL.—Meadow hay, £2 15s to £4 12s ; clover, £4 Os to £5 12s Od ; and straw, £2 Os to £2 6s per load. Supply tolerably good. COLONIAL. TEA.-,Business has been very dull, and there has been no material change to report in prices. _ _ _ SUQAlt.—The demand for West India, descriptions has been very moderate, and but few sales have been effected at barely previous rates. In the refined market there has been a moderate inquiry, but without any material altera tion in value. COFFEE.—Thero has been a moderate enquiry for colonial descriptions, and as the stocks on hand are stil below those of the corresponding period of last year prices generally aro well sustained. , RICE.—The demand has boon to a fair extent for cleaned descriptions, and prices generally aro well supported. TALLow.—There has been but little business doing in the tallow market during thO week, and prices weroa trifle more in faVour of the buyers. The demand from the home trade has fallen off very considerably. There have, how ever, been a few trifling orders for export, but' at low figures. The market is quiet at St. Petersburg at 411 silver roubles, the exchange 32 31 - 15. The recent advance here had induced a few purchases, but the market was again quiet. To-day the market is steady at 43s Gd. Buyers for that month and April to June, 435 941 ; and 44s to 44s 3d October to December On the spot 43s 9d is paid for new y. 0., and 43s 3d old: RAILWAY AND TELEGRAPH INTELLI GENCE. The Maine Legislature has passed the bill relin quishing in favour of the European and North American Railway the claim of the State to $150,000 worth of public lands, subject to the debt due from Maine to Massachusetts. The railroad enterprise has already secured the investment of over ten and a half millions of capital, of which the British provinces have taken over nine millions and Maine the remainder. The stockholders of the Housatonic Railroad, at their annual meeting at Bridgeport, Feb. 22, elected John Z. Goodrich, of Stockbridge, Massachtsetts, president; David Leavitt, of Great Barrington, Mas'sachusetts, vice-president ; and Charles K. Averill, of Bridgeport, secretary and treasurer; and, including the officers, the following as a board of directors :—Nathaniel Thayer, of Boston, Mas sachusetts ; George W. Peet, of Falls Village ; Daniel Marsh, of New Milford ; Samuel IVillets, of New York ; William 11. Barnum, of Lime Rock ; and JOhn L. Stuart, of Bridgeport. The contiustion of the St. Stephen's branch rail way is now far advanced. It is eighteen miles long, and a link in the chain intended to connect New Brunswick with the United States. A bill has passed the New York Legislature granting $250,000 towards the construction of the proposed Whitehall and Plattsburgh Railway on the west side of Lake Champlain. The new road will give the country between Kingston and Pres cott a shorter route to New York than is now fol lowed, and will bean important feeder to the Grand Trunk Railway. 081 91 SECURITIEs. 99 101 1 98 :00 100 102 , 83 v 0 r 7 s 104 105 lu7 lu2 DI ;3 1 1 ,3 ItAi 1 25 102 0 4 ,05 IC3 0.11 105 1 07 ICO CO y 8 91.

CASE OF ACCIDENTAL POISONING AT HUNSLET.— A rumour of a painful character, since verified, is in cir culation in Leeds, to the effect that a sad case of acciden tal poisoning had occurred at Hunslet. It appears that two children, named Greenwood, have died from poison—. arsenic, it is stated—taken in some gruel. It is also said that other two of the children iu the family were ill, but in their case the poison did not prove fatal. How the deadly mixture came to be administered has not been ex plained. The authorities are of course making an in vestigation. By the Chairman—Kingston was the residence of Gordon. By Mr. Corbet—Gordon's chief residence was at Cherry Garden, in the parish of St. Andrew, about six miles from Kingston. Gordon was a patient of mine. Augustus Walter Lake, who was a reporter in Jamaica, said ho knew the late George William Gordon, who was hung at Morant Bay on thci 23d of October, 1865. He (witness) saw him hang till he died. He was tried by court-martial, the court consisting of Lieut. Brand, Lieut. Errington, and Ensign Kelly. Col. Nelson was the military com manding officer at Kingston. Dr. Alexander Fiddes, re-called, said Gordon was arrested by Governor Eyre at Headquarters House. The Governor said it was necessary to have him apprehended. Gordon told Mr. Eyre he had come to meet any charge there might be against him. Mr. Eyre said it was necessary to arrest him, and he must not leave unless accompanied by an escort. Dr. Bowerbank, the chief magistrate at Kingston, took charge of Gordon. By Colonel Hill—That was on the 17th of October. Gordon went away in Dr. Bowerbank's carriage, and witness never again saw him alive. By the Chairman-1 think Mr. Eyre was guilty of murder as an accessory before the fact, as he per sonally apprehended him and took him to Morant Bay, where he was executed. The Chairman said the Bench thought it was necessary to have the prosecutor before them. Mr. Stephen said that as Mr. John Stuart Mill was not at Market Drayton, he would cal] Mr. Shaen, who would take upon himself the responsi bility of prosecuting. The learned counsel then called Mr. W. Shaen, who said—l am a solicitor, at 8, Bedford-row. I have good reasons for believing that Edward John Eyre was an accessory before the fact to the murder of George William Gordon, at Morant Bay, on Monday, the 23.1 of October, 1865. I apply for a warrant to arrest Edward John .Eyre on that charge. Caleb King, police-constable, proved that Mr. Eyre resided at Adierloy Hall, and was at Market Drayton on Saturday last. After some consultation as to the mode of proceed ing, the Bench decided to grant a warrant, which it was arranged the chief constable should serve so as to inconvenience Mr. Eyre as little as possible. The Court then adjourned till 10 15 a.m. on Wednesday. IRELAND. DuBLIN, March 25. I ,telegraphed last night the following legal ap, point►nents consequent upon the resignation of Mr. Blackburne :—Lord Chancellor, Right Hon. A. Brewster ; Lord Justic e of Appeal, Hon. Justice Christian ; Justice of the Common Pleas, Right lion. Michael Morris ; Attorney-General, Hedges Eyre Chatterton ; Solicitor-General, Robt. Richard Warren. The new Solicitor-General has been distinguished as an advocate of the Church Education Society, and consequently as an opponent of the system of edu cation founded by the present Prime Minister, against which Mr. Warren has delivered many au able and elaborate speech. Mr. Chatterton, who sneceeds to the Att orney -G enera l s hi p , w ill b e re turned again by the Dublin University. The Solici tor-General will probably have to do without a seat in Parliament for some time, unless Galway, which has been so useful to the present Government, should return him in the room of their distinguished townsman, whose elevation to the bench the electors have done so much to facilitate. The Galway Ex prese has heard the names of several local gentle men mentioned, and intimates that one related to the senior member will offer himself. The magistrates, at their first petty sessions held in Kilmallock since the late Fenian outbreak, passed resolutions expressing their warm approval of the conduct of the local constabulary, and of Sub-In spector Milling and the ten men of the Kilfinane police force, who proceeded to the assistance of the Kihnallock police. They have also initiated a sub scription, to which they invite the residents of the locality to contribute, in order to raise a fund for the reward of the constables whose courage they so strongly appreciate. • On Saturday morning the Tipperary flying column (48th, 4th Royal Irish, and 6th Carabineers), all under the command of Colonel of the 48th, accompanied by some members of the local consta bulary as guides, arrived in Kilfeacle, just as the small hours of the morning were breaking. De tachments of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoons and 6th Carabineers were posted on the different roads be tween Golden, Kilfeacle, and 13 allyhurst. All having been arranged to prevent the possibility of escape or attempt at rescue, a general search was instituted for parties against whom informations had been lodged, it is said, by an approver. The result of the search was the capture of four men named Cornelius Fogarty (brother to O'Neil Fogarty), Thomas and John Carroll (brothers), and David Farrell. Later in the day the whole police force was engaged in escorting them to Cashel, where they were examined before the Hon. M. J. Ffrench, R M., and remanded to Cashel Gaol on a charge of high treason. Great credit is due to the authorities for the capture of those men. At Wexford, on Saturday, Patrick W. Keough, a farmer of Taghtnon, having been remanded for the third time as a suspected Fenian, was discharged, there being no sufficient evidence against him. At the Nenagh Petcy Sessions, on Saturday, Timothy Gleeson, an elder brother of " General" Gleeson, was brought up and ordered to be detained under a warrant from the Lord Lieutenant. Michael Gleeson, the father of the general, who had been arrested for boasting that he was the father of seven rebels, was discharged, the prisoner having urged in his defence that he was drunk at the time, and did not know what he said. lie was cautioned by the chairman, and was ordered to find bail, himself in £5O, and two sureties in £25 each, to keep the peace for two years, but on_ his intimating to the court that he could not find persons in Nenagh to go bail for him he was let out on his own recognisance in the sum of £5O. The Glencullen and Stepaside stations have been again occupied by the constabulary. The B troop of the ROyal Engineer train, under the command of Lieut. J. Gore Booth, consisting of an officer, two sergeants, six corporals, one trumpeter, 44 men, with 40 horses, arrived in Dublin from Liver- pool at three o'clock a.m. yesterday, and proceeded, on embarkation, to Portobello Bar racks, where they remained last night and will march to the Curragh Camp to-day, there to be sta tioned for the present. The troop is fully equipped with pontoons and all other appliances necessary for campaigning. Strike of Engine-Driv3rs on the Brighton Railway. We are requested to state that in consequence of the strike of a large number of the engine -drivers and firemen on the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway, the time tables must be considered as in abeyance. The utmost possible endeavours will be made to carry passengers to their respective destinations, but a large number of the trains must be taken off, and the speed of those run materially diminished. The following notice has been issued by the company : The directors were not without hope that the reply which they had given to the memorial presented by the enginemen and firemen - would have solved the pending difficulty ; but they must now inform the public that the majority of the enginemen and fire men constituting the staff of this railway have noti fied their intention of retiring from the service, un less their deinands are satisfied. At a further interview to-day satisfactory explanations took place, and au agreement was come to as regards shed days, Sunday work, the number of miles to be run as constituting a day's work, amounting in the aggregate to not more than 750 miles per week—all beyond that number to be counted, and paid for as extra. The board also, though deeming the demand unreasonable, and not for the permanent interest of the men, conceded that each day should be counted as ten . hours, instead of as a tenth of 60 hours ; although, in practice, the day's work on this line is limited very frequently to less than five hours. The rate of wages paid by this company is so liberal that no permanent loss will result in conceding the scale asked. The directors were therefore willing that the minimum pay of drivers should be 65., progressing up wards to 7s. Gd. per day, and the minimum pay of firemen 3s. 6d., advancing to 4s. 6d. per day. But the demand that all engine-drivers and firemen shall be advanced to the maximum scale of wages, after a few months' service, without reference to their ability, is so wrong in principle that the board cannot reconcile it with their sense of duty to consent to such a demand. Should the engine drivers and firemen act on their notices and retire, the directors will at once reduce the number of trains and the present speed, so as not to exceed in any case a maximum of 20 miles per hour, and they will make available' all the resources and means at their disposal for safely working as many trains as practicable, and will spare no exertion to replace the staff at the earliest possible period.—By order, ALLEN SARLE, Acting Secretary. London-bridge Terminus, March 25. What took place yesterday on the subject may be briefly stated. The drivers and firemen waited upon the Brighton board, at the London-bridge terminus, an understanding having been come to on Friday week lnst the notices to leave the service of the company on the following Tuesday should not be acted upon, and that the men would con tinue to ork their trains until yesterday, in order to give the board time for considering the whole question of the dispute. It appears that the scale of wages which the directors proposed to pay to the drivers was an increasing one of 6d. per day every 12 months until it reached a maximum of 7s. 6d. per d:iy ; and that the pay was to commence at Gs. per day. Tue proposition of the men. was-that the increase of 6d. per day should take place every six months, they stating that they would be satisfied to receive - 7s 61 per day after two years instead of 18 months' service. A very - strong objection was made by the men that the proposed increase of wages would take place at the option of the loco motive superintendent, and that objection was sup ported by statements made by them that such a system would encourage favouritism, of which they had complained for a long time past. With the exception of these two points the require ments of the men were acceded to. The depu tation, which waited upon the board of directors yesterday, refused to some to any compromise, and left the board-room stating that none of the men would run a single train this morn ing. At eleven o'clock last night the men had left their place of meeting in Tooley-street, and un less a special agent should be sent down the line with an intimation that the men's terms were acceded to, the probability is that this morning traffic will be in a great measure, if not wholly, suspended. On Saturday 968 engine -drivers and firemen of the Newcastle, Leeds, York, and Malton sections of the North Eastern Railway —but not including the Stockton and Darlington section—sent in their notices to cease work on the 20th April next, unless in the meantime the demands of the men were con ceded by the board. The men have taken this step in consequence of the non-acceptance by the board of the "scale" system of wages proposed by the men, although they yielded 6d. per day in their de mands, and were satisfied with the directors' con ceaions as to the number of hours' labour being reduced from 12 to 10. The Stockton and sDarling ton men are expected to support their comrades of the other sections, inasmuch as they supported the Darlington men during their grievances some time ago. 10:i gi BER.
