Naval and Military Intelligence. VALETTA, June 15.—There is very little news to report since the departure of the mail on the 10th inst. The Naval Commander-in-Chief had not re turned to Gibraltar on the 9th, but was daily ex pected in the Psyche from Cadiz. The Caledonia (flagship), the Arethusa, and the Trinculo were awaiting his arrival. The Galatea, Capt. his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, had arrived from Dlarseilles, en route to Madeira, Rio Janeiro, and the Australian Colonies. Her Majesty's ship Victoria is reported by the captain of the English screw steamer May Queen to have been met on the 2d inst. off Cape Finisterre, standing to the north-east. Here at Malta we have the ironclads Prince Con sort and Royal Oak. The former vessel has not yet completed fitting her guns, the latter is quite ready for sea, and she may be ordered off any day to join Lord Clarence Paget's squadron of escort for the Sultan. Some very good theatrical performances took place on board the Prince Consort last night, the performers being the officers of the ship. The quarter-deck was tastefully decorated and brilliantly lighted up, and the entertainment, which concluded with a dance, proved a great success. The Cruiser, 5, from Beyrout, and the Tyrian, from Candia, are daily expected here. The cholera is making progress in Sicily. At Caltanisetta, in the interior of the island, 30 or 40 cases occur daily, about 20 termi nating fatally. It continues very bad at Girgenti, and a few cases have occurred at Palermo. All ar rivals from Sicily and Calabria Ultra are now sub jected here to 15 days' quarantine. Ia Sicily there have lately been copious showers, and some heavy rain has fallen here during the past week ; but, un fortunately, as regards Malta, tha showers were not general or of long duration. The greatest distress continues to be felt by the poor people in the coun try and in the Three Cities for want of water. The experiment of sinking a shaft in the sandstone, by which means Mr. Bateman promises to procure an abundant supply of water, is being made. Some serious doubts are expressed, however, as to the qua lity of the water to be obtained in this manner, owing to the vicinity of the sea, and the fissured and broken character of our rocks, even should there be any certainty of a large supply, which is also considered by some local geologists as very problematical. A condenser for the use of the dockyard, capable of producing about 100 or 120 tons a day, is now hard at work, and two others have been ordered out from England. Up to the present moment the popula tion and garrison are remarkably healthy. The epidemic in Tunis has been declared by nine mem bers out of 11, composing the Tunisian Board of Health, to be cholera. The Egyptian steam yacht Fayouni leaves to-day for Toulon to join the flotilla of the Viceroy. The 29th Regiment, it is expected, will leave about the end of this month for Canada in the Tamar, which is to bring out the 31st Regi ment for this garrison. The first detachment of the 3d Brigade Royal Artillery, under orders for Canada, will embark later in the Simoom, on her arrival from England." The following regulations relative to the exami nation of candidates for the appointment of as sistant-surgeon in the Royal Navy have been pro mulgated : " Admiralty, May 7. " The Right Hon. the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty are pleased to direct that the follow ing regulations, relative to the examination of can didates for the appointment of assistant-surgeon in the Royal Navy, shall in future be adopted :-1. That a candidate for entry into the Royal Navy shall make a written application to that effect, ad dressed to the Secretary of the Admiralty, on the receipt of which application he will be furnished with the regulations and a printed form, to be filled up by him, to show if he possesses the required quali fications. 2. As vacancies occur the number of candidates required will be ordered to attend at the Admiralty-office on the first Tuesday in alternate months, commencing with Tuesday, the 21 of July, 1867 ; but it is to be observed, that no person can be admitted as an assistant-surgeon in the Royal Navy unless he can produce satisfactory evidence that his name has been placed on the Medical Register as legally qualified to prac tise both medicine and surgery according to the regulations established by the Medical Act. And, further, he will be required to make a declara tion that he is free from any mental or bodily disease, defect, or infirmity which could interfere with the efficient discharge of his duties as a medical officer in the Navy. 3. Each candidate will be required to produce a certificate of good moral character, signed by the clergyman of the parish or by the magistrate of the district. 4. A certificate that he is not less than 20 nor more than 28 years of age. 5. That he has received a preliminary classical edu cation. 6. Subsequent to the age of 18 he has actu ally attended a recognised hospital for 18 months, in which the average number of patients is not less than 100. 7. That he has been engaged in actual dissection for 12 months, and that he has performed the principal capital and minor operations on the dead body under a qualified teacher. The certifi cates of practical anatomy must state the number of subjects or parts dissected by the candidate. 8. On producing the above certificates he will be examined before a board of naval medical officers specially summoned by their lordships on the following sub jects—viz., anatomy, surgery, physiology or insti tutes of medicine, practice of medicine, chemistry, materia medica, midwifery, and botany. 9. Al though the above are the only qualifications which are absolutely required in candidates for the appoint ment of assist.-surgeon, a favourable consideration will be given to those who have obtained the degree of M.D. from any university in the United Kingdom, or who, by possessing a knowledge of the diseases of the eye, or of any branch of science connected with the profession, such as medical jurisprudence, natural history, and natural philosophy, appear to be more peculiarly eligible for admission into the service, ob serving, however, that lectures on these or any other subjects cannot be admitted as compensating for any deficiency in those required by the regulations. 10. Such candidates as shall have been found in all re spects competent for the appointment of assistant surgeon will be forthwith nominated to one of her Majesty's ships, or to a naval hospital at home ; or, should their services not be immediately re quired, their names will be duly registered for early appointments as vacancies may occur. But it is distinctly to be observed that candidates ad mitted into the naval medical service must serve in whatever ship they may be appointed to ; and that in the event of their being unable to do so from sea sickness their names cannot be continued on the Naval Medical List, nor can they, of course, be allowed half-pay. 11. By the rules of the service no assistant surgeon can be promoted to the rank of surgeon until he shall have served five years, two of which must have been in a ship actually employed at sea, after which he will be required to pass an examination before a board of naval medical officers, assembled at the Department of the Medical Direc tor General of the Navy. 12, Assistant surgeons at home, after completing the stipulated five years' service, may, if the public service will admit, be granted two months' leave of absence on full pay on condition of their resuming their studies at a medi cal school or hospital. 13. Their Lordships have been pleased further to direct that a limited num ber of those candidates who pass the best examina tion on entering the service shall be promoted annually to the rank of surgeon at an earlier period than would occur under ordinary circumstances, and that these promotions shall be awarded as fol lows :—The candidate who passes the best examina tion of his year after five years' service ; the candi date who passes the second lest examination after six years' service ; the candidate who passes the third best examination after seven years' service ; provided, however, that their second examinations are passed in an equally creditable manner, and that their conduct during the whole time they have been in the service has in all respects been satisfac tory.---.By command of their Lordships, 44 HENRY G . LENNOX." The Orwell, screw gun vessel, was commissioned yesterday at Portsmouth by Lieut. A. S. Marescaux for service on the coast of Ireland. Major-General J. 0 . Travers, In'spector- General of the corps of Royal Marine Light Infan try and Royal Marine artillery, attended by Capt. J. M. Lennox, aide-de-camp, arrived at Forton barracks, Gosport, on Tuesday afternoon, for the purpose of commencing his summer inspection of the Portsmouth division. General Travers was received by Colonel Commanding W. S. Aslet, Col. Second- Commanding W. F. Foote, and other officers of the divisional staff ; the men, being drawn up in line, presented arms on his arrival. The afternoon was devoted by General Travers to the inspection of the men's kits, arms, &c., as well as the schools and barrack accommodation. Yesterday the Royal Marine forces of Artillery and Light Infantry were brigaded on Southsea common. The brigade of Artillery was under the command of Col.-Commandant G. A. Schomberg, C. 8., and consisted of two battalions under the command of Lieut.-Col. J. W. C. Williams, and Lieut. G. S. Digby, C. 8., forming 12 companies of 35 officers and 576 rank and file from Fort Eastney, with the band of the corps. The brigade of Light Infantry crossed over by floating-bridge from Gos port, was under the command of Col.-Commandant W. S. Aslet, and consisted of two battalions, under the command of Lieut.-Col. J. C. Symonds and Lieut.-Col. F. J. Richards, also forming 12 com panies of 35 officers and 576 men, with the band of the corps—the whole being formed in line on the Common. The Inspector-Gen., attended by Capt. Lennox, A.D.C., and accompanied by Col. and Se cond Commandant Foote, Lieut-Col. Butcher, and Capt. Elliott (who acted as Brigade Major), arrived on the ground at 11 o'clock, and was received by a general salute, after which the General rode along the line and then repaired to the saluting point, when the whole of the corps marched past in re view order in slow and quick time. Fifteen rounds of ammunition having been served out to the men, au extended course of Light Infantry and other field manoeuvres followed, bringing the inspection to a close about one o'clock. Major- G en. Travers briefly addressed the colonels command ing and colonels of battalions, expressing his great admiration of the appearance of the corps, and the excellent marching, as well as the manoeuvring, say ing he was highly pleased with the day's proceedings and thanking the commanding officers of the bat talions and staff, as well as every officer, non-com missioned officer, and private, for the strict atten tion they must have paid to theirdrill, and concluded his remarks by saying he felt proud of being the Inspector-General of such a corps as the Royal Marine forces. The General and Staff left the ground with the division of Light Infantry and pro ceeded across the floating bridge to Gcsport to con tinue his inspection at Forton barracks. The Royal Marine Artillery returned to Fort Eastney, which was to be the subject of the General's inspection this morning as well as the gun practice. The A and E batteries, belonging to the Bth bri gade Field Artillery, in command of Capt. Whin yates and Brevet-Major Andrews, and also a bat tery of the Depot Royal Artillery, quartered for some time past at the encampment on the heights of Woolwich-common, near the Old Dover-road, yes terday shifted their quarters to the Royal Artillery barracks, to make room for detachments shortly ex pected at head-quarters ; and the B battery B bri kade Horse Artillery, in command of Brevet Lieut.- Col. W. E. Reilly, C. 8., marched into garrison at Woolwich yesterday from Brighton, having slept on the previous night at Epsom. The strength of the battery consists of (in addition to Lieut.-Col. Reilly) Second Capts. Rideout and Magenis, Lieuts. Sande mau and Prior, Assist.-Surg. Griffith, and 175 non commissioned officers and rank and file. They were met at Lewisham by Major Hay, Brigade Major, and other mounted officers from the garrison and the Horse Artillery band, and were played along the high road to their quarters in the East-square. On their arrival they were vhited by Prince Arthur, who walked down from the Royal Military Academy, accompanied by Major Elphinstone, V.C., C. 8., Royal Engineers, his governor; Lieut. Pickard, V.C., Royal Horse Artillery, in special attendance, and other officers. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Charles Alder and Lieut. Albert M.

The report of the directors states that during the half-year ending Dec. 31, 1866, the traffic on the railway, notwithstanding the serious interruption caused by the unusually heavy rains which fell in the month of August last, contrasted favourably with that of the corresponding period of the pre vious year. The total traffic receipts on the line from the 13th May, 1861, to the 31st Dec., 1866, amounted for passengers, &c., to £74,591, and for goods to £386,651, total £461,245. The working expenses amounted to 5402,:357, or 87.23 per cent. of the receipts, leaving the net revenue for the five years and a half £58,888, or 12.77 per cent. of the gross receipts. The traffic returns for the year 1866 amounted to £100,348, against £82,818 in the year 1865, showing an increase of £17,530. The work ing expenditure amounted to £83,268, or 82.98 per cent., against £78,425, or 94.70 per cent. in the same half year of 1865, showing an increase of £4,843. The result was regarded as satisfactory, when it was considered that the traffic was almost entirely suspended from the sth August to the 13th Sept. last, nearly six weeks. During the half year ending Dec. 31 last, the gross receipts amounted to £46,478, and for the same half of 1865 to £43,456, showing an increase of £3,014, the weekly average being £1,787 against £1,671 in the same half of 1865. The traffic receipts for the past half year averaged £l6 7s. 11d. per mile per week, and the receipts per train mile were Bs. 61-d., the number of train miles run having been 108,566. Since the commencement of the present year a great improve ment had taken place in the traffic. The receipts for the quarter ending the 31st of March amounted to £34,184, or an average of £2,629 per week. In the week ending the 20th of January, the re ceipts amounted to £4,355, being nearly £l,OOO in excess of the highest sum realised in any previous week since the opening of the line. The total goods arriving in and forwarded from Kurrachee by the railway during the past half year amounted to 64,998 tons, the down traffic being 38,113 tons and the up traffic 26,885 tons. The number of passen gers carried was 70,171, against 52,613 in the cor responding half of 1865. The working expenses amounted t0£40,127, against£39,462 in the corres ponding half of 1865. The expenses of the locomo tive department were still excessive, being nearly half of the whole expenses. The area of Kurrachee harbour had been increased since 1858 from 70 acres to upwards of 100 acres. The population of the town and camp of Kurrachee in 1854 was 40,776, and in 1865 it had increased to 60,000. The capital account showed that 1,810,037 had been expended. The company's steam flotilla on the Indus during the past half year maintained its accustomed regu larity ; there had been 34 voyages in all made by the vessels of the flotilla. The total receipts of the steam flotilla :for the past .four years and eight months amounted to £36,398 for passengers, and to V 89,280 for goods, &c.—total, £325,678; Ithe working expenses amounted to £239,218, or 73.45 per cent. of the receipts, leaving the net revenue £86,460 or 26.55 per cent. on the grow receipts. The net revenue was subject to a deduction of 17 per cent. per annum on the eitimated cost of the working fleet for insurance and depreciation. The expenditure of the steam flotilla on capital account amounted to £568,016. DELHI (U3IRITSUIZ , TO f•ELIII). The directors of this company iq their report an nounce that the first section of the railway from THE SUN, LON LION, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 20, 1867. Ghazeeabad, the point of junction with the East Indian Railway, opposite Delhi, to Meerut, a dis tance of about 28 miles, was opened for public traffic on the 18th of April. The country traversed by this section was in a high state of cultivation, and formed one of the richest and most populous districts in India. The Meerut section was being worked by two trains each way daily ; the passage of - the trains between Ghazeeabad Junction and tho station within the city of Delhi, a distance of 11 miles, was performed by the engines of the East Indian Railway. The progress of the works generally throughout the line continued satisfactory. The Meerut and Moozuffurnuggur and the Moozuf furnuggur and Seharunpore sections, the former 31 miles and the latter 37 miles in length, are not in so forward a state as might have been anticipated ; but, on the other band, the progress made with the section from Seharunpore to Umballa was very sati ifactory—so much so that it was expected that the line from Delhi as far as Umballa, a distance of 162 miles, would be ready for traffic about this time next year. At the Umritsur extremity of the rail way the works had been pushed forward as rapidly as the arrival of materials would permit. By the end of January the permanent way had been laid for about 121 miles, and it was ibelieved that the section from Umritsur to the Beas, 27 miles in length, would be ready for traffic in July. The traffic upon this section would not become greatly developed until the completion of the large bridges along the line, and the establishment of through communica tion with Delhi ; but there were numerous large villages along the banks of the river Beas, from which a considerable traffic might be expected to come to the railway in native boats. The contrac tors, Messrs. Brassey, Wythes, and Henfrey, were prosecuting the works of the several large bridges with commendable energy. The financial state ment shows that from the commencement£l,669,l99 had been expended in India to the 30th of Sep tember and in England to the 31st December, leav ing a small balance of £3,000. The total amount received for interest was £206,622. THE SHEFFIELD TRADES' UNION COMMISSION. THE MURDER OF LINLEY-EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN COURT. James Hallam, the saw-grinder, who was com mitted to prison a short time ago for contempt of Court, in refusing to give up the name of an ac complice in an act of rattening, was brought up yes terday morning for re-examination, it being under stood that he was prepared to confess all he knew of trade outrages of every sort and kind. It turned out to be as was anticipated, and Hallam made as extraordinary a disclosure as ever, perhaps, was made in any court of justice. The repeated offer of personal immunity from civil or criminal conse quences failed to reassure him ; his conscience was alive, and the vivid recollection of his crimes over powered him to such an extent that, after trembling violently from head to foot for some minutes, he fainted away, and was unconscious for a time. When he came to himself he proceeded with his confession, which was interrupted by sobs and groans. He exacted from the Court a promise of immunity for any person he might implicate before he would con firm the confession he had made some time ago to Mr. Fretson and Mr. Jackson, and retract the denial of that confession which he made on his last appear ance before the Court. After confessing to the rattening of one Taylor, in company with Samuel Crookes, and th e bl ow i ng up of Wheatman and Smith's place with gunpowder, also in company with Crookes, the powder being bought with money supplied to Crookes by Broad head for the purpose, Hallam made the following statement with reference to the murder of Linley. Mr. 0 verend—No w I have to ask you a question. Do you recollect the time when Linley was shot— about the time ? Witness —Yes. Now, on the Saturday night before Linley was shot were you not seen in Wilson's snug with a pistol in your pocket ?—(No answer ; the witness showed signs of distress : his breathing became heavy, and his face bore an expression of anxiety.) Say yes or no?—After a slight pause the witness collected himself and answered—yes, I was. (Sen sation.) Where did you get that pistol from ?—No answer. You know, if you tell the truth, you have no thing to be afraid of. You will be entitled to your certificate if you tell the whole truth. Now, I ask you for what purpose did you buy that pistol.? --No answer. Witness looked fixedly at Mr. Overend for a few seconds, and then, trembling so violently as scarcely to be able to support himself, he rose from his seat, staggered up to Mr. Overend, and whispered something which could only be heard by the examiners. Mr. Overend—Ob, we will give you the in demnity if you tell the truth. Witness—And the party that was with me, too ? Mr. Overend—And him, too, if he will tell the truth. Now, I ask you for what purpose you bought the pistol? The witness attempted to stagger back to his seat, but was unable to guide himself to it, and Mr. Jackson supported him. After sitting a se cond or two in the chair, trembling more violently than ever, he leaned back and fainted quite away. Ile was laid down upon the floor, and the usual means of restoration were applied, his hands being chafed, a smelling bottle applied to his nostrils, and brandy poured down his throat. In about five minutes he opened his eyes, made a convulsive snatch at his throat, and relapsed into unconscious ness. He was then carried iuto an adjoining room and laid upon an ottoman under an open window. Stimulants were applied to him, but it was some minutes before he awoke out of his stupor, and then, as before, his first act was to clutch at his throat, and this time he did it repeatedly, and with such pertinacity and force that it required the strength of two or three men to keep his hand to his side. After about a quarter of an hour he was led into court again, weak as an infant, and trembling like an aspen in every limb. His chair was placed op posite Mr. Overend, and the short-hand writer and reporters were obliged to approach quite close to him to catch the faint and husky whispers that fell from his lips. At times he was only preserved from fainting by the prompt administration of brandy. Mr. Jackson kept close behind him, helping him to sit upright in his chair. Occa sionally he was quite unable to speak, and aban doned himself to tears and sighs. Resting his head on his hand, and partly shielding his face from the gaze of the bystanders, he gave, with downcast eyes, and a distress painful to witness, the following melancholy details of the murder in which he had taken a leading part::— Mr. Overend-- Will you tell me for what purpose you bought that pistol ? Witness, sadly—To shoot Linley. Was there anybody associated or joined with you in shooting Linley ?—Yes. Who was it ?—Crookes. Who shot him, did you or Crookes? The witness was unable to answer this question for a moment ; recovering himself, he said, in all but inaudible whis per, " I compelled Crookes to shoot him. He shot him with an air-gun." Had anybody set you to do this ?—At first the witness gave no answer ; after a pause he said, "Not to shoot him." Had any person set you to do a n ythi ng to him ? some doingconversation with LlnleY' with me next day. i sDuild yt —Witness, faintly and with some r e l uctance : Mr. Bioadhead (great sensation). I asked and himhe said one he day e if I remembered the c onversat i on o f i w wouldbea askedhe have w m a the previous day. I told him I did. He asked me what I could do with him. I t o ld him I would make him (Linley) as he couldn't work an y more . how you would d o i t ?—No. I He asked what I sho uld wa nt for doing it. I asked him oif d £2oou think wouldel n .be too much. He said no, he h ohtim 1 then said I wou l d do it. saw Crookes on the following day. I told him I had got the job to do Linley. H e asked me who I had seen. I told him I had seen Broadhead. I told him we were to have £2O. Here the witness was obliged to drink brandy and water to enable him to support the examination. Well, what did he say to that ? —He said that we should not get £2O. I saw him again the week u f o llowing, and we went to Bro a dh ea d' s to see w h a t we were to have. Crookes saw hi m a l one . Wh e n he down camYes?—eT hen h I esaid went wep viere gi t v % . have £l5 ; that was all ho (Broadhead) would Well ? —Broadhead told me he could not get above £l5, and I agreed to do it for that. I got £3 of him, and I bought a revolver. Well, what did you do, you and Crookes? When you had arranged this matter, how did you do it ? We followed Linley from one place to another. We found there was no chance with revolvers, and Crookes got an ai r - gun. H Very well, now, you say you followe d him. ow long do you thi n k you followed Linley before he was shot—between the time you saw Mr. Broad head and you shot Linley—how long do you think elapsed ?—I cannot tell exactly. Five or six weeks. And how often did you go, in these five or six weeks, after him, for the purpose of finding an op portunity of shooting him ?—Nearly every night but Sunday night, He was shot in Scotland- street in the back room of the Crown Inn. What did you do ?- —I went into the back yard to look. Well, and could you see from the back yard into the room where Linley. was sitting?--Yes, \\There, wa.; he sittinrr ?—lle was sitting vith his left hand to the win,loti;•. What time at night ?—lt was about nine o'clock, but I cannot say exactly. Where was Crookes?—Crookes was in the street when I saw hi.n. When you saw Lira what did you do?—I told Crookes he was there. Was there no other person in the room ?—Yes. When you told Crookes he was there, what did Crookes do?-1Ie came and looked at him. Well ?-lle refused to shoot then. _ Yes ? (The witneis was unable to speak for emotion, and appeared as if he would faint. Brandy and water was given to him.) Jr, Overend told him not to be in a hurry, and repeated witness's words—He refuscd to shoot then, and said-- Well, did he dc” anything? Where was the gun? Had he the gun with him or not ?---Witness gasped, and end eav oured in vain to speak. He had the air-gun with him, and what did he do with it ?—Na .answer. What did he do. with the air-gun ?—The witness sighed heavily, and leaned back as if he were about to faint. Mr. Overend (goftly)—What did be do ? Witness (in a _husky whisper)—He would not shoot. There was no exit. What ! no exit 6 om the yard ?--Yes. Well, what did you do ?—I went through the yard, and found a. - way out. Yes ?--Ile said there were too many people about. Yes ? (A pause;). What did you say ?—No answer, and witness appeared greatly agitated. What did you say to him ?—(With an effort) : I told him he must either do it or I would do him (sensation in court.) When you told him that, what did he do ?—He said there was no chance. What did you say ?—I told him I would do it myself and take the risk. Yes ?—He told m.e—(a choking in witness's throat prevented him from finishing the sentence). What did he tell you ?—He said I must not attempt, I might miss him, and he would risk it. Well, when he said he should risk it, what did he do ?—(No answer ; the witness evidently unable to answer.) What did he do when he said he would risk it ? (In a faint whisper) : He shot him. (The witness was again almost overcome.) After he had shot him, what did you both do ? —(No answer.) You ran away ?—Yes. Which way did you run ?—Through the alley into Pea Croft. Where did you separate, if you did separate ? At Crookes' (nearly two miles off). Where did Crookes go to ?—I do not know. Where did you go to?--To Winterbottom's. Well, now when did you next see Crookes ? The following morning. I saw him by agreement, in IViley's in the Haymarket, and got a 'sovereign from him. I did not see Broadhead for some days. What did he say to you ?—He told me I had bet ter not go there too much. _ Did he say anything else besides that ?—No. Did he say anything about your having shot Linley, and whether it was right or wrong ?—No. Well, now have you ever had any conversation with Broadhead about Linley being shot since then ?—No. Have you received any money from Broadhead since Linley was shot ?—No. What did you get for shooting Linley ?-17 10s. Who paid you the money ?—Crookes gave me £4 10s. And who gave you the £3 ?—Broadhead. Did Broadhead give you the £3 after Linley was shot or before he was shot ?—Before. Now, I believe Linley lived a good while, did ho not, after he was shot—several months, did he not? —Yes ; when he died there was an inquest, and the jury found a verdict of murder against some person unknown. I saw Crookes frequently after the inquest. Did he ever say anything to you about the ver dict ?—Only a few passing words. Did you pledge yourselves to keep it secret, or anything of that kind ? Did you bind yourselves by any oath, or anything of that kind ?—No. At that time I did not think we should need it. The witness was then examined as to why he had refused to give up Crookes's name on a former oc casion, and why ho had denied his private confes sion, which he had now publicly repeated. He said be did it to save Crookes, and thought to take the whole blame on himself. He charged himself with instigating Broadhead to these things. He did not know Linley at the time he agreed to shoot him ; never spoke to him in his life, and only shot him on account of Linley's dispute with the trade. He also confessed to having knocked a man on the head with a life-preserver, at the instance of, and for pay from, a deceased secretary of the pen and pocket blade grinders named Bromehead. After one or two cases of rattening had been gone into, Samuel Crookes, who had been sent for by a policcmxi, was brought into the court, and was sworn by Mr. Overend. He appeared to be very calm and self-possessed: Immediately after he was sworn, Mr. Broadhead shouted out to him, " Tell the truth, Sam ; everything." Before his examination was commenced, Mr. 0 verend intimated to him the nature of the evidence which had been given by Hallam, and he advised him to be very cautious as to what he said, because, unless he obtained a certificate from them, he would be liable to be tried for his life. He then admitted an act of rattening which had been spoken of by Hallam, and he also admitted what Hallam had said about the share he took in the attempt to blow up Wheatman and Smith's place. He confessed that they were paid by Broadhead to do the deed, but he denied that they intended to blow down the chimney. The reason of their attempt to blow up Wheatman and Smith was because they were erect ing a new kind of machine. Mr. 0 verend then, addressing Crookes, said—l do not know what you heard, but I will tell you what he (Hallam) had said, because I think you ought to be made acquainted with it. He says that you and he were employed by Broadhead to do an injury to Linley. He says that you and he met together, that you had an air-gun ; that you went following him about for a long time from place to place—for nearly five or six weeks, having been promised £2O by Broadhead to do this deed ; that you then, having followed him into a public-house in Scotland-street, you with your air-gun shot Linley in the head ; and he says he told you to do it—that you were unwilling to do it, but that he compelled you to do it ; that he was by you at the time you did the deed and saw you do it. Ido not know whether you have heard the statement ? Witness—No, I never have. But that is what he says—that he has sworn to this morning. It is about yourself ; and I want to caution you, for if you are guilty of this you are guilty of murder, and if you are guilty of murder you are in danger of your life. If, however, you make a clean breast of it, and give a full and candid disclosure of all you know, we have the power to grant you a certificate which will pro tect you even from such a deed as that ; and that is the only protection you have for your life. Now, then, it is for you to say if you did that deed or not. The witness, after a slight pause, said in a firm and quick voice, and with perfect composure, Yes, I did. (Tremendous sensation in court.) You did shoot Linley ?—(With the same quiet self-possession) Yes. The witness admitted that he never knew Linley before, lie did not intend to kill him, but he could not help hitting him on the head, from the position in which Linley was sitting. His mo tive for shooting him was that he was doing a great injury to the trade. He could not say whether Broadhead suggested the murder, but he paid for it. After some hesitation the witness admitted that Broadhe a d p a id after the murder was com mitted. It was he that bought the revolver, but Hallam paid him either 50s. or £3 for it. He bought the revolver in a pawnbroker's shop. At-the close of the evidence of Crookes the Court adjourned.

The directors of this company state in their report that the receipts on the railway for the half-year ending December 31 last amounted to £41,433, or £3,828 in excess of the amount realized in the same half of the previous year. The average weekly receipts were £1,594, being £6 ss. 11d. per mile. The gross receipts per train mile were 4s. ld., and the trains ran in the half-year 202,521 miles. The aggregate traffic receipts from the 10th April, 1862, the 31st December, 1866, amounted, on an average length of railway open of 118 miles, to £92,374 for passengers and to £98,236 for goods ; together £190,610. The gross receipts during the year 1866 amounted to £31,443 for passengers, and to £62,651 for goods ; together £94,097. It was evident that until the great trunk line from Kotree to Mohan, along the Valley of the Indus, was completed, the advantages afforded by the railway, as compared with the means of transit afforded by river, must be greatly restricted. The total expenditure on capital account amounted to £2,362,043, and the amount received for interest ou paid-up capital was £524,808. RAILWAY BILLS. Yesterday the Committee on Group 12 proceeded with the London, Chatham, and Dover Bills. The Bill No. 4 was entered into, and the committee came to the conclusion that the preamble was not proved. The London, Chatham, and Dover Bill (No. 1) was adjourned, as were London, Chatham,. and Dover (No. 2), and London, Chatham, and Dover (No. 3). In Group No. 13 the Great Eastern (Finance) Bill was proceeded with and adjourned ; and the llayling Railways Bill, being unopposed, was re ferred to the Committee of Ways and Means. The Disturbance in St. James's Hall and the Reform League. The council of the Reform League met last night at their rooms, Adelphi-terrace. The CHAIRMAN, Mr. J. Guedalla, referred to the disturbance which took place in St. James's Hall, on Monday night, and denied that the exe cutive council of the League took any part officially in that meeting of the so-called Working Men's Conservative Association. The resolutions propose 1 to be passed at the meeting were in point of fact the gauntlet thrown down to the League, and it was no wonder that the members of the League attended the meeting to vote against the resolutions. (Hear, hear.) No physical force was intended to be used, and the Leaguers had no reason to use it because they were a clear majority. The Conserva tives used violence first, and then force was used in return. Mr. MANTLE—And they got wallopped. (Laugh ter.) Me. W. MANTLE said the fact was that there was no such body existing in London as a Conservative Working Men's Association. To put it in plain language, a number of Conservative swells from the Carlton Club, who had drunk a gool deal of wine, and had a good deal of courage, got into a corner of St. James's Hall, and fought like lions in trying to hold a meeting, the object of that meeting being to slander the Reform League and tell the most con summate lies. (Hear.) The course of these gen tlemen began by ordering members of the Reform League to the back seats, so that there should be a wall of Tories between them and the front of the meeting. If that meeting had been permitted to pass quietly the Conservative press would have trumpeted the success all over England, and the re pudiation by the meeting of the principles of the League. (Hear, hear.) That would be a fine thing, but the Conservatives could never do that in London. (Cheers.) It was very well that the Tories should know that the men of the League had got tongues, and —when violence was used—fists to use. (Hear, hear.) When Mr. Fowler came on the platform he distinctly refused to take the chair un less he was voted into it by the meeting, and it was a mere farce to say that the members of the League had no right to vote. What was the use of asking them to vote if they had not the right ? If the Tories had defeated the men of the League he (Mr. Mantle) would have bowed to the decision, and let them have their own way. Mr. Langley was voted to the chair, and it was then the Tories tried to throw him and his friends off the platform; but if the police had not been sent for the men of the League would have put them out into Regent-street and into the Carlton. (Cheers.) He believed it was the duty of the council to prevent any sham association from endeavouring to speak out in the name of the working men of London. (Cheers.) The members of the League carried a Reform League chairman, and prevented a political swindle from being foisted on the people of the country. There could be no doubt what occurred would have its effect in the provinces, so that if there were any Conservative Working Men's Associations there they could hold their meetings fairly and honour ably, but any attempt at foisting a swindle on the country would be laid bare in the provinces as well as in London. (Cheers.) Mr. BENNETT thought that Messrs. Mantle and Langley were unwise in interfering with the meet ing. After a very warm discussion, Mr. HAWKER moved, and Mr. ELLIS seconded :—" That the St. James's Hall meeting fully proves that the Work ing Men's Conservative Association is an arrant sham, and that the attempt was a simple effort by Tory squires to bolster up an expiring faction. Resolved, therefore, that the thanks of the council and delegates be given to the Reformers who, on Monday night, maintained the legally elected chair man against the violence and brutality of an edu cated mob." The resolution was carried. Mr. GOLDRING moved, Mr. BRISK seconded, and it was agreed :—" That as Mr. Fowler, who was to have been chairman of the projected meeting at St. James's Hall, thought proper to assert that the Reform League were afraid of discussion, the council of the Reform League hereby resolves to challenge Mr. Fowler and the representatives of what pur ports to he the Conservative Working Men's Asso ciation to meet the representatives of the Reform League, and publicly discuss the questions and principles involved in the resolutions that were to have been submitted to the meeting at St. James's Hall," The Compound Rating Question. Tuesday afternoon a specially convened confer ence of the local authorities of the metropolis was held in the Court-house, Marylebone-lane, for the purpose of receiving and acting upon the report of the committee appointed to consider the proposed alteration of rating occupiers of small tenements in stead of owners. There was a very full representa tion at the conference, and Dr. Bachhoffner (of Marylebone) was elected to preside. Mr. Green well (vestry clerk of Marylebone) read the report of the committee, which, after relating the circum stances of deputations to the Poor-law Board and Mr. Gladstone (reports of which are published), submitted as the result of the deliberations of the committee the two following propositions, one of which the House of Commons, it was suggested, should be asked to embody in the Reform Bill in the form of a clause :—" That in all cases in which the owner of any premises is now liable by any act or acts to be rated instead of the occupier, the name of the owner for the time being shall be placed upon the rate books, together with the name of the occupier, and such owner shall be liable to the payment of two-thirds of the rate in case default is made by the occupier for two months after the making of the rate, and all the powers of the act or acts under which such owner would be liable to be rated if this act had not passed may be put in force for the purpose of en forcing such liability to the extent of two-thirds of the rate. That it shall be sufficient in the rate books and in any legal proceedings consequent upon non payment of the rates to designate the occupier of any premises for which the owner is jointly rated, whose name may be unknown as the occupier with out name or further description stating such name to be unknown, and such name shall be noted in the rate books as soon as the same shall be ascer tained, without prejudice to the validity in the meantime of any rate duly made." " That the occu pier for the time being shall be liable only for such proportion of the rates as accrues during the time of his occupancy; that when the owner of any dwell ing house or other tenement lets the same upon con dition of the occupier paying the rates, and the owner pays any portion of the rates in pursuance of this act, he may add to any rent due or occurring due for the occupier in respect of the said dwelling house or other tenements any amount paid by him on account of the rates to which he may be rendered liable by the act." In the above propositions the committte had set forth their views, but they sub mitted that the mare simple and practical method of saving the parishes from loss, which was the consi deration with the committee, would be by rating both the owner and the occupier of tenements let at a rent not exceeding £2O by the year, or for a less term than a year, or where the rent was received at any shorter period than three months. The occupier would thus be personally liable for payment of the rates, and on payment by himself or by Lis landlord, who would be deemed his agent, would be entitled to the vote. The committee, therefore, recom mended that the above two propositions be placed before the metropolitan members, and that they be requested to consider which of the two would be most acceptable to the House of Commons. After considerable discussion, both propositions were adopted, the following rider being added to the second :—" But in rating such tenements, an allowance or deduction shall be made from the rateable return for the water rates, landlords' taxes and rates, and collection of rates incident to such class of tenements." THE PUBLIC HEALTH. (From the Registrar-General's Return.) In the week that ended on Saturday, June 15, the births registered in London and 12 other large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,470 ; the deaths registered, 2,567. The annual rate of mor tality was 22 per 1,000 persons living. In London the births of 1,121 boys and 1,041 girls, in all 2,162 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of 10 years 1857- 66, the average number, corrected for increase of population, is 1,968. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,094. It was the twenty-fourth week of the year, and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,256. The deaths in the present return are less by 162 than the estimated number. The mortality in the metropolis was lower last week than in any week since that which ended on 12th July, 1862, when 1,065 deaths were registered. The deaths from zymotic diseases last week were 210. Twenty-six were caused by smallpox ; of which 12 occurred in the south districts. The deaths from whooping -cough were 33 ; 7 in the west, 6 in the north, 3 in the central, 10 in the east, and 7 in the south districts. Thirty-three deaths from typhus, 19 from measles, 16 from scarlatina, and 31 from diarrhoea were recorded. Kensington (St. Paul, Hammersmith).—ln Ship lane, on the Bth of Jun; the son of a labourer, aged four years, " English cholera" (46 hours). Ber mondsey (St. James's)—At 8, Alfred-place, Salis bury-street, on the 14th June, the daughter of a ropemaker's labourer, aged five months, " choleraic diarrhoea (six days), convulsions (20 hours)." The deaths of two persons who were killed by vehicles in the streets were registered :—A black smith, aged 39 years, run over, died on the 6th of June in the London Hospital (inquest). The son of a smith, aged 7 years, run over, died on the 31 of June in St. Thomas's Hospital (inquest). The annual rate of mortality last week was 19 per I,oooin London, 28 i n Edinburgh, an d 2 8 in Dublin ; 21 in B r i s t o l , 19 i n Bi rm i ng h am , 26 in Liverpool, 27 in Manchester, 24 in Sal ford, 23 in Sheffield, 25 in Leeds, 25 in Hull, 28 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 24 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 30 per 1,000 during the week ending the Bth inst., when the mean temperature was 11.7 deg:Fahrenheit higher than in the same week in London, where the rate was 19. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.941 in. The barometrical reading decreased from 30.14 in. on Tuesday, the 11th of June, to 29.66 in. on Friday, June 14. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 59.9 deg., which is 1.4 deg. above the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). Ihe highest day temperature was 82.1 deg. on Wed nesday, June :12. The lowest night temperature was 44.4 deg., on Saturday, June 15. The entire range of temperature in the week was, therefore, 37.7 deg. The mean of the highest temperature of the water of the Thames was 62.4 deg. ; that of the lowest was 61.0 deg. The difference between the mean-dew point temperature and air tempera ture was 9.5 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 71, complete saturation being repre sented by 100. Rain fell during the week to the amount of 0.06 in. According to a return furnished by the engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works, the average daily quantity of sewage pumped into the river Thames at the Southern Outfall Works, Crossness, was 46,333,379 gallons, or 210,514 cubic metres, equivalent to about as many tons by weight. The Water Com panies during the last month gave more than their average supply. The Rectistrar-General has to acknowledge the courtesy of the London Water Companies, who have furnished him with the average daily quantity of water supplied for the month of May, 1867; thus, according to their account, 99,865,339 gallons, or 453,734 cubic metres of water, equal to about as many tuns by measure, tons by weight, were sup plied daily ; or 1,031 auras, rather more thin a ton by weight, to each housc, and 147 litres (-132 gallons) to each person. SHEEP-BREEDING IN PRUSSIAN POLAND.—Some of the principal landowners in the Grand Duchy of Posen have •lately bestowed much attention on the breeding of sheep, and their efforts in this direction have been so successful that at an agricultural exhibition which took place at Breslau last spring, the superiority of the system which they had adopted was officially acknow ledged. This opinion was fully borne out by the result of the international sheep-breeders which has just closed at Paris. M. Casimir Chlapowshi and Count sheep-breeders in Prussian Poland, obtained the first prize on this occasion, and their sheep was much admired for the fineness and purity of their wool, Meeting of the Trades' Delegates. is r The adjourned meeting of delegates from the London trades in support of the operative tailors was held:on Tuesday at the Sussex-hall, Bouverie street, Fleet-street; Mr. George Potter in the chair. The chairman having opened the business, and ex pressed hispleasure at seeing delegates present from several trades not represented at the previous meet ing, Mr. Druitt, the president of the Operative Tailors' Association, rose to explain the exact posi tion of the strike at the present moment. The dele gates would have seen by the letter of the president of the Masters' Association, published in the papers this week, that the masters still refused any arbi tration on the matters in dispute. This, he thought, ought to disentitle them to that amount of public sympathy they boasted of possessing. The reaso n assigned for this refusal now was that they had a large number of men working for them who were quite satisfied with the terms on which they we re working. This fact he denied. Their real root' in so persistently refusing arbitration was their de sire to break up the union of the men. Now, as re garded the number of the men they had obtained to workfor them after putting forth all their efforts, and lavishing a large sum of money during the last eight weeks, he would state a fact which would show the delegates how much truth there was in t he letter published with the signature of the President of the Masters. At this season of the year Mr. Poole had usually 500 journeymen at work; at the pre sent time he had but 24. Mr. Smallpage's usual number was 60 ; he bad now 16. Mr. Pulford s 120 ; he had now 4. Mr. Hill's 150 ; he had nog' 16 ; and he might go on through the whole list of the shops on strike. He could positively state that in the whole 90 shops struck, where nearly 2,800 men came out, there were not at most 20 0 men at work, and that the majority of those men would not obtain employment at these sheo in the ordinary course of trade. He also could state from positive knowledge that the majority of these men were not employed in the making of new gar ments, but in altering and putting into a fit shape for wear those which had been put together in the \Vhitechapel sweating shops. He then gave the names of several firms where this was daily being done. In the name of the operative tailors he thanked the trades generally for their generousae sistance, and if that aid was continued a short t ime longer he believed they would come out of th e i struggle successfully. The masters had postpon e d their meeting intended to be held next Saturday He looked on thatas a sign of weakness on theirpart' Several delegates having spoken, the delegate from the tinplate-workers moved, and a delegate from th e joiners seconded, the following resolution:—" lll3 _ this meeting learns with regret thatthe master tail ors remain obstinate in refusing arbitration, and, ha s '', ing heard the statement made by the president e the Tailors' Association, hereby recommends t he trades generally to continue their pecuniary suppo rt e to the Operative Tailors' Association until the pre,, sent struggle is brought to a successful termination' The resolution was agreed to unanimously. Amo n g s a large number of subscriptions announced in su m of from £1 to £lOO were : —£loo f rom Edinburgu 9 £5O from South Yo r k s hi re m i ners , £5O from th e shipwrights of London, and £25 from the engine ers. The meeting was adjourned for a fortnight. COUNTRY MARKETS. HULL.—T UESDAY. At our market to-day there was a good supply of Ong, lish wheat, which sold readily at the full prices week.
