REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF SHARE• HOLDERS TO THE GENERAL BODY OF PROPRIETORS. At a general meeting of the proprietors in the Crystal Palace held at the Bridge House Tavern, London, un P t:l u n e:9:th August, 1855, the following reso lutions were 1. "That the dreport: be received and adopted, and that a committeeSubea'r azolointed to confer with the direc tors in selecting in shareholders to be recommended to fill the office of directors and report e e plae e of those who have re signed • to ascertain tho port on the accounts and the outstanding liabilities of to examine the books and ' A c c r a P o anYr with the power forf the company ; also to frame and report on a scheme i d. o he future regula tion and management of the undertaking, " That the committee consist of followingthtl Francis pro prietors, namely—Alex.

'1- " That the committee be requested to consider and report , en propositions submitted to the meeting by Mr. Fuller and Mr. Sotheby." Messrs. Samuel Courtauld and Henry Waite declined to set, on the ground that their engagements would not allow them to devote the requisite time to th e work, bet the o tiler members of the committee immediately en tered labour upon their d u ti e s : an d after having devoted much and attention to the consideration of the matters referred to them by it, submit the following report :- -, yTnou%AcioCCmOUnIN:tSeeAND LIABILITIES OF THE COMPANY. part of their directed their first attention to this the general inquirymeeting :. and allegations have been made at had been m a d e in a e l l Mr. l4yon that incorrect entries counts were inaccuratelyco mpany's bo o k, and that the kept,.theyac o aff or d e d hi m e very hi facility to make good charges, but after seeral lengthened interviews With l the satisfied , committee and unre stricted access to the book s , failed to sus• t a in them ; and your committee ' haveentirely a re ti y sfied themselves that your books are intelligibly and faithfully that not l. puts tion w hate ver reale upon.them or kept, and pon our accountant, Mr. Fasson, under whose superintendenceu that department is carried on. With regard to the ou standing liabilities on account of the construction of thet must be a large source of additional profit. Your com mittee are, moreover, of opinion that the inducements to visit the rystal Palace may be greatly increased. Thus, two or more flower and fruit shows instead of one appear quite practicable ; the multifarious, beautiful, and inte resting objects within the building and in the grounds are capable of being placed more prominently before the public mind, and a system of exhibitions may be gradu ally organised se as to be of substantial use, and promote the realisation of important ideas in agriculture, manu factures, trade, education, and social progress ; and not only attract visitors, but considerably increase the re venue of the exhibitors' department. Your committee will only advert further to the great advantage that must arise from the completion of the West-end railway. SPECIAL SUBJECTS REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE. The recommendations of Mr. Fuller, Mr. Sotheby, and others, may be divided under a few heads, of which the chief are—The immediate issue of life-tickets, with a view to a grea's reduction of capital ; a method of Sun day opening, profitable to the company, and not con trary to law, and the change of the reserve day from Seturilay to some other day. The plans suggested by Mr. Fuller involving the re servation of Thursdays and Fridays for season and life ticket holders, the reduction of the charge for admission on Mondays to 6d., and the creation of various classes of life-tickets with distinct privileges, the committee are not prepared to recommend. The establishment of two reserve days, your committee believe, would be very detrimental ; and should the issue of life-tickets be de termined upon, it appears to them they should be so regulated as not to sacrifice revenue without effecting a proportionate reduction of capital. Your committee are unable at present to recommend any plan for reducing the capital by the issue of life tickets in exchange for shares, as they are informed le gal objections exist thereto ; they, however, feel the im portance of having the capital reduced if practicable, and they therefore recommend that the question of doing so by means of the issue of life tickets in exchange fur shares should undergo full and mature deliberation, and that any legal difficulties should be removed as soon as possible. With reference to the question of Sunday opening, your committee aro fully alive to its importance. They believe that a Sunday opening would be a great educe, tional advantage to the public, but they could recom mend nothing which involved the risk of a forfeiture of the company's charter. By that charter none is to be "admitted on the Lord's Day in consideration of any money payment, whether made directly or indirectly, unless the express sanction of the Legislature shall have been obtained ;" and the question of what constitutes a direct or indirect money payment depends upon the in terpretation that might be given to the 21st Geo. cap. 49. So uncertain is the application of this act that the directors of the Crystal Palace received in 1854 an opinion of the present Solicitor-General advising them that even the admission of shareholders was a "subject of very serious doubt," and adding, "I therefore recom mend that no such step should be adopted, because I am of opinion that it might endanger the validity of the charter." Your committee consider that, under these circumstances, the only course for those who are in fa vour of Sunday opening, is to adopt the regular consti tutional means to obtain an alteration of the law. As regards the expediency of changing the reserve day from Saturday to any other day, the following ques tions naturally occur. ]Would those classes f rom whom the season-ticket holders came be satisfied with the pro posed change ? Is any other day as well adapted dapted to their wishes and habits as Saturday We think not. Season a ti n e d ke i t ea s s a u r r e e liik or el f y re t q o u b e e n t ta v k ie e i n te —the gentry, money professional, and mercantile classes. It is aristocracy, is well known with that Saturday is a favourite day, and among professional and mercantile men the custom of closing business earlier on that day is exceedingly com mon. The statistics of season ticket holders during the six months from April to September in the current year afford some interesting results—thus, it appears that ex clusive of the two special days (the opening flower show and the concert) the average visits paid per month by season ticket holders has been 21,464, which is nearly equal to the whole number of persons holding such tickets. This conclusively shows that season tickets are not purchased to procure admission upon grand days only, but that the class of season ticket holders take a Permanent interest in the attractions of the palace. The average nurnberof season ticket holders who have visited the palace on days other than Saturdays, has been, ex cluding theday of the concert, 6&2—while excluding the Queen's birth-day (which fell on Saturday), the number of season ticket holders visiting the palace on Saturdays has been 2,206, or between three and four times the number on other dais. The occupations of persons en gaged in retail trade and the habits of the working classes preclude the idea that they would visit the palace as much on Saturdays as other days if the price were the sa me, and this was prey e d b y the fact that on the Queen's birthday, Saturday, May 18, which was a fine day, and when most shops were closed, the visitors amounted to only 10,201—a number often reached on other days without the help of a public holiday ; nor can it be said that the reduction of price on that day Was not well known. The average number of persons who have paid ss. for admission on Saturdays, during the six months ending with September, has been 496, giving an average of 124/. If the sum paid by the season „„--eas esciset holders, Thomas Parker, the stoker of the same train, gave evidence to a similar effect, On being asked his opinion as to the cause of the acci dent, The Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, Mr. C)rbellis, Q.C., the Hon. A. Plunkett, and Mr. Bey tagh, appeared for the prosecution. Mr. O'Hagan, Q.C., Sir Colman O'Loghlen, and Messrs. J. A. Curson, Kiernan, and J. Coffey, ap peared for the travereers. The Hon. Judge Crampton and the Right Hon. Baron Green, the presiding judges, took their seats at a few minutes after 10 o'clock. The indictment charged in the first count, that the tra verser, disregarding the laws and religion of the realm, and devising and intending to bring the Holy Scriptures of God, in the authorised version in the English language, appointed to be read in churches, and generally received by her Majesty's subjects professing the religion of the united churches of England and Ireland as by law esta blished, into disregard, hatred, and contempt aeriang the people of the United Kingdom, on the sth November, at Kingstown, by causing a certain printed copy of said Scriptures, in the authorised version, &c., consisting of the Old and New Testaments of our Saviour, to be con temptuously burnt, profanely and in the presence of divers of her Majesty's subjects, and with a view to the destruction of said copy did cause and procure to be thrown,' and did cast and throw said copy into a certain fire until it was burnt, to the high displeasure of Almighty God, and the great disrespect, discredit, and dishonour of the religion established by law. There were seven other counts, one of which charged the tra verser with intending to bring the united churches of England and Ireland into contempt ; another referred to the Holy Scriptures, irrespective of particular version; and another charged the burning of a New Testament. The Attorney-General having opened the case, Christopher Duff was then called and examined by the Solicitor-General —He deposed that he knew Father Pecherine ' and that in pursuance of a request from bias he took a barrow to the father's lodgings on the sth of November for the purpose of wheeling away some books. Another boy was also there with a barrow, and a num ber of books were put into the barrows by the servant at Pecherine's desire. He saw a " Family Herald" and a " History of England" among thee books ; and he saw a book which he thought was a Testament ; did net cpen it ; (lid not look to see if there were printed words on the back. His saying he thought it was a Testament meant that he guessed it was such. Got directions from Father Peeherine to bring the books to the chapel yard. He wheeled them there. In the chapel-yard he sat oa the books in the barrow, waiting for Father Pet cheline to come. Some boys upset the books out of the barrow on the ground. When Father Pecherine ar rived he said the books should be lit. While he was wheeling his barrow away the books were lit. Did not see who lighted the fire. Father Peeherine went when he said they should be lit, and then went away in the direction of the chapel vestry. He came back again in about 20 minutes. The pile of books was then burning. Did not see Father Pecherine do anything. Cross-examined by Mr. O'Hagan—lt occurred about 8 o'clock in the morning. The boarding-house is a good way from the chapel; some of the books were tied toge ther, and some of them were loose. I helped to toss them into the barrow. There were about ten little boys about my size with him. When the books were put into the barrow they were wheeled away. Was a good while in the chapel-yard before Father Pecherine came, and a crowd of persons collected when they saw the books. There were a good many people present when Father Pecherine came, and when he said the books were to be lit he went away. He west towards the chapel. After he went away the fire was lighted. He was away for half an hour, an I when he came into the yard he said nothing. The books were burning. The books were tolerably well burnt when Father Pecherine came back. Some numbers of the " Mysteries of London" were handed to witness, who said he saw great numbers of these books in the fire ; saw also numbers of " Rey nolds's Miscellany." Never read those publications, but looked at the pictures in them. Henry Lawson, a labourer in the employment of Mrs. Gibson, also deposed to the burning of the books in the chapel-yard upon the day in question. Among the books he saw Byron 'a Poems, some tracts, a small Testament, and a small Prayer Book. Did not take up the book. A hook was taken up by a man of the name of Neal. Saw it was a Testament. Neal laid down the Testament again. Saw the title-page of the Testament. He saw also an old Bible. Saw the words " Holy Bible" printed on the back of it. A policeman lifted up that Bible. His name is Ilalpin. Knew Father Pecherine, and saw him there when the fire was burning. He had some papers in his hand which he was tearing. He threw them on the ground, but could not say whether he threw them near enough to the fire to be burnt. Charles Lawson, brother of the last witness, confirmed his evidence. Mr. W. T. Darkin, sub-inspector of factories, and Police-constable John Halpin, deposed to seeing a Bible and Testament among the books that were being burnt; and the Rev. R. Wallace produced a portion of the books of Deuteronomy and Joshua, which Ile bad rescued from the fire. Several other witnesses also spoke to the fact of there being parts of the Holy Scriptures among the books de stroyed, although the majority of the books appeared to be of a different description. The case for the Crown having closed, Mr. O'Hagan p roc eeded t o addrees the Court at gr ea t length in behalf of the accused. He asserted that hie client had only endeavoured, in the discharge of a reli gious duty, to put an end to the circulation of immoral publications, fur which purpose he had required them POLICE INTELLIGL.VCE—Dec. 8. Witness said—My opinion is that the points were right for the Bricklayers' Arras branch, or the engine would have got off the road, and that they were changed before the whole of the train bad passed through them. If the points had remained as they must have been when the engine and the first part of the train passed through them nothing would have happened more than the train run ning on a wrong line, and being consequently compelled to shunt back on the proper line. Robert Bardin said—l was head guard of the North Kent train which left Woolwich for London last Friday evening at 5.26. The train consisted of an engine (No. 42) and tender (Driver Heron) and 13 carriages in point of weight, but 10 in number —namely, the safety car riage, small second, break, second class, a saloon eight wheel counting as three, a first and second class (teak) also counting as three, an open third class, a parliamen tary, another third class, a second break, and a small ditto. After leaving New-cross we ran towards Lon don at our usual speed—namely, about 20 miles per hour. I could see the signals at the Surrey Canal Junc tion when we had got about half-way. The up signal for London was against us when I first saw it, but was afterwards turned to "All right." I did not hear the driver whistle, and conclude, therefore, that ho did not, as it is only usual for the whistle to be sounded when the danger signal is up too long, and consequently causing the steam to be shut off. I was in the last car riage but one of the train, and before my break bad arrived at the points I felt a jerking, as if something was off the line ; in fact, so sudden and Revere was the first of the several jerks which occurred that I Was puttin noc mg me oon knockedmy y down break, in my ioooosebgroeaenko. ofe I hadthe no s chance ho,k knoc kin g about so much.

Mr. Duncombe attended for the prisoner. The evidence went on to show that on Saturday last a great crowd had assembled near the Great Western Rail way station to obtain a sight of the King of Sardinia, and that amongst the said crowd was the prosecutrix, from whose packet the prisoner was seen to abstract a sovereign, but on his noticing the officer, who was stand ing close to him, and who had been watching his move ments, ho hastily replaced the coin in the pocket from which he had abstracted it. He was then taken into custody and conveyed to the station-house. Mr. Duncombe, after some further evidence had been adduced, contended that not sufficient had been proved to justify a conviction. The prisoner, however, ultimately pleaded guilty, rather than be sent for trial, and he was dealt wi t h sum marily by being committed to the House of Correction for four months.

They consist principally of two Sphinxes of white marble of large proportions, nearly equal to those at the fountains of the Chateau d'Eau, but with this essential difference, that the Russian Sphinxes have the heads of women instead of those of lions. They have been temporarily placed in the first room of the Assyrian Museum, facing the Rue de Rivoli. THE LATE TRAGEDY AT BRIGHTON.—At a meeting of the Brighton Medical S )ciety, held on Thursday even ing, at the Dispensary, the unfortunate and mysterious affair of the deaths of Dr. Franck and his son Hugo was introduced, and led to a long discus , ion, by Dr. Carter, the medical gentleman who gave evidence at the inquest, reading a paper on the subject. The meeting was largely attended by the medical profession of B rig hton, and i from neighbouring towns, who took a deep interest in the proceedings. Dr. Carter in his paper defended himself against the attacks which had been made upon him, i citing numerous authorities and cases n support of Vie opinions given by him in evidence before the coroner's jury, and ferictlyadhering to them in every particular. The general tone of the speakers, , with one or two excepti ons , was in support of Dr. Cart er s views, viz., that the father killed the son by strangulation, and afterward s , i n a fi, of monomania, destroyed his own life by jumping out of the window. The meeting broke up after sitting i ear th ree hours, and passed a vote of thanks to Dr. Ca r t e r for hie interesting paper.
