(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) PRINCE OF WALES STAKES. Hippodamia Humming Bird Bannerdale .. 3 THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. HALF-YEARLY MEETING-(THIS DAY.) The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the shareholders and directors of this company was held this day at the London Tavern. The attendance of shareholders was not very numerous at tho commencement of the proceedings. Horatio Love, Esq., chairman of the directors, presided. The report, which has already appeared in The Sun, and minutes of the last meeting having been read, _ _ The CHAIRMAN rose to move the reception and adoption of the report. He said, before he went into an explanation of the accounts he thought it was his duty to refer in a very prominent manner to a letter that had been received from Messrs. Quilter and Ball ; and, before doing so, he would have the letter read by the secretary, in order that the shareholders might be in possession of every fact known to the directors on the subject. That having been done, he should. be ready at the proper time to answer any question that might be addressed to him on the subject. The Secretary then read the correspondence that had taken place between the Messrs. Quilter and the Secretary relative to the acoounts of the locomotive department, and particularly pointing out an error in the sum set down for stock in store, which the Messrs. Quilter, the official audi tors of the company, stated to be "a deliberate perversion of matters of fact." _ _ The CHAIRMAN said he had no doubt that anybody who had listened to the reading of the letter would come to the conclusion that there had been some tampering or malver• sation of the funds of the Eastern Counties Railway ; but all the auditors were in the room, and he defied any of them to pub their finger on one item that was not honestly entered in the company's books. (Hear, hear.) The directors had, in fact, felt it right to deal with the accounts in one way, and the Messrs. Quilter had come to the conclusion that they ought to have been dealt with in another, (Hear, hear.) With regard to the first charge of Messrs. Quilter and Bail, he might remark that many heavy demands had been made for renewals of permanent way, and the directors thought that instead of charging the whole of the sum of £34,000 to one half year, it would be better to spread it over two—(hear, hear), espeeially as that one-half year had been somewhat less productive than usual. The head and front of the offend ing of the directors was that they had not taken the opi nion of Messrs. Quilter and Ball on that subject. He was of opinion that the directors had done right. (Cries of " Yes, yes," and " No.") The second charge of Messrs. Quilter was with reference to the locomotive department. The directors, looking at the depreciation of the locomotive plant and its obs olote character, and looking also to the prospects next year, a con siderable amount had been in course of delivery during the last two years. The directors had thought proper not to charge all the plant to the present half-year, and de termined to postpone £50,000 to the next half-year. As to the "running on the line," he might remark, that course had been taken in order to test the efficiency of the new articles supplied. (Hear, hear.) The whole question was one of allocation of an account, and not one of tampering with the property of the company. The next point was a charge of omission of the debt due to the Norfolk Company of £30,000, towards which, it was said, there was no provision except about £7,000. This was a matter which did not come properly under the notice of Messrs. Quitter as auditors. The present was not the proper time to fix upon the revenue, and arrangements had been made to meet it, but it was not a matter neces sary at present to be introduced into the account. With regard to other matters, he might say that Messrs. Quilter had been mistaken in reference to the unliquidated balances. This company did business to the amount of £60,000 in goods a year, and no company in such a posi tion had so small an unliquidated balance as the Eastern Counties Company. Such were the charges made by Messrs. Quilter and Co. ; as to their opinions he took no heed of them, believing that he was able to prove as sound a judg ment as they were. Turning to the general business of the company the Chairman went rapidly through the ac counts, and various items of the report, and concluded by moving its adoption. Mr. GOODSON seconded the motion. Mr. AINSLIE complained of the manner in which the contracts of the company had been entered into, and said said that he knew many honourable men who would not stoop to sweeten the under servants, and therefore they never succeeded in getting any portion of the work of the company. _ _ Mr. ADAMS said, according to the accounts in the report, one thing was very evident, and that was, that there was a decrease of receipts and an increase of expenditure, and he did not think that such a circumstance should be al lowed to continue. He wished to know whether the regis ter of the dividend account hal been examined indepen dently of the chairman, as last year they had been examined by the chairman's clerk. He thought there ought to be some different way of examining the register. Messrs. Quiltar and Ball were very eminent accountants ; and he thought that some inquiry by the shareholders should be instituted, and if he could get a seconder, he would move that a committee be appointed to take into consideration the last paragraph of Messrs. Quitter and Ball's communication Mr. Box agreed that it was very necessary that a com-' mittee should be appointed. If in after time anything un pleasant should occur, they (the shareholders) would only have themselves to blame. Mr. CHRISTIE said it appeared to him that Messrs. Quilter and Ball thought they should not divide anything until all their debts were paid. The motion for a committee was then put and negatived. Mr. SOPER called on Messrs. Quilter and Ball to explain why the letters were written. The CHAIRMAN ruled that Mr. Soper was not in order. He then put the motion for the adoption of the report, which was carried. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceed ings. BANK OF ENGLAND.

EXTENSIVE ATTEMPTED FRACD AT MESSRS. SWAN AND EDGAR'S.—Leopold Kropp, described as a singer, and native of Pesth, Hungary, was charged with endea vouring to obtain a quantity of shawls and silks of the value of £l4B 125., by false and fraudulent pretences from Mr. Wm. Edgar and others, silk mercers, &c., 10, Pic cadilly. Mr. arrand prosecuted on behalf of the Association for the Prosecution of Shoplifters, &c., and said prisoner called at Messrs. Swan and Edgar's, and stated that he had been sent by Mr. Tom Taylor, to request that some shawls and silks might be sent for approval, and it was out of that circumstance the charge arose. Mr. Edwards, of the shawl department, said—Yesterday the prisoner called at Messrs. Swan and Edgar's, about two. He asked to see some shawls, saying he wanted a shawl worth £l5. He said they were for Mr. Tom Taylor, writing down the address, 8, Richmond terrace. I wrote Mr. Tom Taylor's name on it. I selected four shawls, prisoner saying he did not understand them of the value of 15 to 18 guineas. Prisoner said Mr. Tom Taylor wanted to make a present to a lady. He also said Mr. Taylor wished for .a grey silk dress and a black silk dress sent with the shawls. I gave the shawls to Mr. F.,skey, one of the managers. The value of the goods is £l4B—the whole pieces of silk being sent for selection. Mr. Albert interpreted the evidence to the prisoner. Prisoner—Did Mr. Tom Taylor buy a dress five years ago for a lady ? Witness—l cannot tell. Mr. Benjamin John Balding, assistant to Messrs. Swan and Edgar, said—l took the parcel of goods now in court to Mr. Tom Taylor's office, in Richmond-terrace. I saw the hall-keeper, Mr. Owen Owen. I said I had brought a parcel for Mr. Taylor, and left it there. On going back a second time I saw the prisoner going in, and he said he had gone back for the parcel, as Mr. Taylor was in a hurry. This was near 5 o'clock. I asked him if he had come for the parcel, and he said " Yes." I told him the parcel was inside, and we went in and the hall-keeper recognised him as the same person who had called before. I asked him where Mr. Taylor was, and he did not give any answer; but on asking where the order was he had just taken to Swan and Edgar's, and he said he had no order. On ask ing him again where Mr. Taylor was, ho asked for a person who could speak German. I asked in French where Mr. Taylor was, and he said if I went with him he would show me. I told him that would not do, and wanted his address. He then said Bedford-square, but that Mr. Tom Taylor was at Messrs. Swan and Edgar's. After some further evidence, the prisoner was remanded for the attendance of Mr. Taylor. THAMES. THE LATE ToM SPRING'S WIDOW.—Mr. Stocks, the builder, of Wapping parish, applied to Mr. Woolrych to receive the legal examination of a poor woman named Winter, who had been for some time chargeable to the parish of St. John, of Wapping, in the county of Middle sex. The woman, who was in the garb of a pauper, and who turned out to be no other than the widow of the famous boxer, Tom Spring, the renowned champion of Eng land, who won so many battles in the prize-ring, was intro duced and sworn. It is well known that the real name of the late champion was Winter, and he adopted the name of Spring when he became a member of the ring. Mrs. Winter stated that she was married to the late Thomas Winter at St. Peter's Church, in the city of Hereford, in 1823, and that her late husband died in the year 1851. Her legal settlement was St. Andrew, Hol born, above the Bars, in which parish her husband occu pied and resided in a distinct dwelling-house called th• Castle Tavern, well known to the sporting world, and which was situated No. 25, High Holborn. Her husband succeeded the famous pugilist Jim Belcher in the occu pancy of the house, and the rental was £BO per annum. Her late husband was charged and raced to the poor rates of the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, above the bars, for and on account and in respect of the Castle Tavern for the term of one whole year and upwards. Mr. Woolrych signed the necesary papers, and Tom Spring's widow will be forthwith removed to the workhouse of St. Andrew, Holborn, above the bars, in which pariah the brave and gentlemanly Tom Spring entertained so many thousands during his long occupancy of the Castle Tavern. The poor widow, who is about 60 years of age, appeared to be in good health and spirits, and was recognised by many persons in and about the court. THIS RAPS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE.

The annual regatta at Deal took place on Monday. Eight boats put in an appearance for the principal prize. Amongst them were two crews from Hastings, one from Newhaven, Deal, and Sandgate, and Bain's crew, of Lambeth, who rowed in the Ariel, of Dover. The race was fixed for three o'clock, and shortly after that hour a good start a as effected ; but the race was never in doubt, as the Londoners took the lead and kept it to the end, winning by more than 15 lengths. Distance, four miles. Time, 23 minutes. The winning crew then proceeded to Dover to row for the Lord Warden's prize. There were nine entries for this prize, amongst which was Bain's crew, of Lambeth, who were so successful last week at Antwerp. Only three boats put in an appearance, viz., Hastings, of Hastings ; the Widgeon, of Newhaven ; and Bain's crew, who rowed in the Ariel, of Dover. The latter, although the worst placed, were the favourites at starting. The Hastings crew took the lead, but the Londoners only played with them, as when they were near home they drew away from them, and at last won any way they pleased. The following are the names of the crew :—Alfred Hop kins, Edward Carter, James Chapman, Robert Bain, stroke, and J. Hill, coxswain. Distance, three miles and a half; time, 20 minutes. After the match with T. W. Creut, jun., of Woolwich and John Young, of the same place, on Monday last, the friends of Young were so annoyed at him being defeated so easily that they again challenged the winner by matching C. Webb against him for £25 a-side, which was at once ac cepted. They are to row from Putney to Mortlake, on the Bth of October. £lO a-side is already staked. Crout is under the care of R.

On Monday evening Carlo De Rudio, one of the men who joined with Orsini in the attempt to assassinate the Emperor Napoleon 111., in January, 1858, delivered a lecture in Birmingham on the con spiracy and the subsequent sufferings of the lecturer, as a prisoner at Toulon and Cayenne, together with his escape from the latter place in a small boat, on the 9th of December, 1859. The attendance was not large. The chair was taken by Mr. Henry Dorman, who, in opening the proceedings, said he knew the people of Birmingham would, when ad dressed by a man who done well for his country, and for the world at large, listen to him, and bid him God speed in his noble and heroic enterprise. They had not come together in secret to conspire, but had met openly to listen to the history of one who had done and suffered indescribable things, in consequence of struggling for our common humanity ; one who deserved well of his country, and who deserved well of the inhabitants of Birmingham. (Cheers.) As Englishmen it was our glory to have a stand up fight, to face our opponent, tell him our wrongs and demand our rights, but he could conceive the possibility of the case of a man, or of the case of a nation, being such as to be driven to the very last act of desperation, and to either have an honour able death or a glorious and permanent victory. (Applause.) Mr. Dorman then entered into a long dissertation on the character and intentions of the Emperor of the French, suggesting as a possible explanation of the coolness reported to exist at pre sent between France and Austria a desire on the part of Napoleon to learn whether, by picking an other quarrel with Austria, he would be able to get the Island of Sardinia. He concluded by introduc ing to the audience M. de Rudio, a young man of pleasing appearance, who was received with loud and prolonged applause. M. de Rupio commenced by giving a brief sketch of his early life up to the 14th of March, 1848, which found him a student in the Milan Military Academy. On that day the people of Milan rose against the Austrians. Rudio was one of the first Italian students to join the, insurgents, and after five days of continuous bloodshed, the Austrians were driven from the city, and he afterwards went to Venice and Rome as a volunteer in the cause of Italian liberty. After the struggle for liberty had been defeated he joined Mazzini, by whom he was employed on many missions of danger into the cities held by the Austrians in Italy, of which the reward would have been death or torture by the Austrian police, if discovered, while if there were other missions in which there was no danger, and a chance of filling one's pockets out of , why there were always good patriots ready enough to take them. It was in 1853, when hiding from pursuit in the Julian Alps that he first con ceived the idea of ridding the world of the man who he thought had been the cause of all their troubles, for had Napoleon not interfered in the affairs of Rome the fire of liberty would in a short time have made such a conflagration that all the tyrants in Europe could not have quenched it, andltaly would have been free, not from the Alps to the Adriatic only, but from one end to the other. In 1854 he was taken at Zurich by the Swiss authorities, and for a second time expelled from Switzerland and shipped off to England, where he arrived with six pence in his pocket. He suffered much, as a letter he had written to Mazzini, asking that the Repub lican Committee should be directed to assist him, was not even answered. Mazzini was thought in England to be a true patriot, but in Italy it was known that his motives were not pure love of his country; while his cruelty was shown by his treating in such a heartless manner one who had been his most faithful and well-proved assistant. The lecturer passed briefly over the period intervening between the end of 1857, when Bernard met him, and he was informed of the project of Orsini. Upon its being agreed that if he fell his wife and child should be cared for by the committee, he left Lon -1858, for Paris, where he met don on January 9, Orsini ; Bernard having only given him fourteen francs and a ticket, though he had a larger sum that he ought to have handed over. Bernard was expected in Paris, together with some other men, to Join in the attack, but like many men who thought they were conspirators, and who would join the secret societies and take the oath, when the hour of danger came he was absent. On the evening of the 14th o f January, Orsini, Pierre, Gomez, and himself, each having a bomb, a poignard, and a loaded revolver, set out on their enterprise, and though there were only four of them instead of ten came forward, had not one of the four been a fool, and another a coward, the " butcher of the Boulevards" would have met his death. Pierre got apprehended before the carriage came, .Gomez threw the first she ll too soon, and out of time he threw the second shell, and after about two minutes Orsini threw the third. He (Rudio) then cocked his revolver, and creeping towards the carriage of the Emperor on his hands and knees, determined that if he had escaped the shells he would shoot ' down " the curse of Rome," when he heard the sound of approaching cavalry, and a regiment of Lancers came rapidly along the street. To escape b e ing t r odden under the horses' hoofs he had to stand back - , and the carriage was at once surrounded by troops. He (Rudio) then thought it was time to look out for his own safety, and he went to the place of rendezvous, but found there none of his companions. He then went to the railway station, where he in tended to take the train to Bordeaux, and thence eo by sea to Oporto, but the train had just gone. He then went back to his hotel, where he was taken into custody. The lecturer went into the details of his examinations and trial with great minuteness, and stated that it was not until the executioner had made his toilet and he was preparing to walk to the guillotine that he was informed his punishment had been commuted to transportation for life. He was afterwards imprisoned for six months at Toulon, where he was treated in the most brutal manner by the governor. At the end of that time he was pro mised his liberty on condition of giving up the names of the other conspirators, but this he refused to do, and he was therefore sent to Cayenne, where he arrived in December, 1858. At this point Rudio paused, and a man named Thomas Wright said the subject of the lecture had been associated by some with assassination, but that was wrong, as it Was tyrannicide and not assassination to destroy a man who intended to destroy the lives and liberties of thousands of his fellow-creatures, and it was right to take the life of one man if it would save thousands. The CHAIRMAN here interposed, upon which Mr. WRIGHT said that there were " dirty tools of tyranny in the town," who had exercised all their influence to prevent the hall from being used for the purpose of the lecture. The mayor and the French consul had exercised all their influence with the committee of the hall, but he was happy to say they had not succeeded. (Cheers). M. de RIIDIO then described his sufferings at the Silver Mountain and in the Island of Salutation, and his escape, on the 9th of December last, with. several companions, to the English colony of Ber bice, whence they worked their way to London, where he arrived on January 29. In conclusion, he said he admitted the conspiracy, but all persons who could see further than the limits of Britain must know that for the Continent there was no way to obtain liberty but by conspiracy. Ordi nary means were of no avail, and men might rise by thousands only to fall into the hands of their tyrants. It was only by revolution that free dom could be secured, and conspiracy was the mother of revolution. The liberties of England, of Switzerland, of America, had all originated in conspiracy; and so the Italians, Germans, French, and Russians, must obtain their liberty. The inte rest of European Kaisers and Kings was directly opposed to the emancipation of their subjects, and yet it was supported by so large a number of those subjects that the only possible solution of the diffi culty was a sanguinary one. Consequently the man who could conceive a plan of preventing a general danger by killing one guilty party only must be a benefactor to the human race. (Applause.) Such was Cromwell, and such is Garibaldi ; and feeble as was his brain, and weak as was his hand, compared with those of the two great men he had named, yet his motive was the same. For this cause he had sacrificed family and freedom, and had risked his life. Napoleon was one of the foun tain heads of wickedness and crime, and had he (Rudio) succeeded in his pc. ose he would have been honoured in life and death. He knew that the views of many Englishmen were opposed to such means being taken, but they should remember that no land in Christendom had witnessed so many martyrs for the cause of liberty as their own. He was no partisan of assassination in the vulgar sense, but occasionally he did approve of tyrannicide. He admitted the principle of private vengeance only when nationality and economy of life were at stake; in such a cause he had done what he had done, and in such a cause he would risk his life anew. And he knew enough of Englishmen to be able to say that if their country was suffer ing from the treacherous conduct of one individual they would rise as one man—(applause)—and endea vour to exterminate him. And if Englishmen would do that, why should not Italians, Frenchmen, and Germans ? He and half a score others had taken that duty upon themselves, and were they right or not ? (Applause.) He knew their answer would be in the affirmative. Rudio then resumed his seat. On the motion of a gentleman in the meeting, it was resolved that Bernard should be written to for an answer to the charges that had been made against him, and it was afterwards decided that, as a mark of respec` to Rudio, a subscription should be made at the door. The seconder of this latter proposition stated that the reason there was not a larger audi ence was that detectives had been employed to pull down the bills announcing the lecture. OIL SPRINGS. Numerous advices appear to confirm the great value of the oil springs lately discovered in the United States and Canada. The question as to the duration of their yield remains to be settled, but it seems probable that, owing to the extent of the regions in which they are found, the supply will last many years, and that a proper organisation of railway facilities will alone be needed to cause the production to be among the most important in modern commerce. In the United States the princi pal deposits are understood to be close to a station on a new railway—the Atlantic and Great Western —which will render their conveyance to New York comparatively inexpensive. In Canada they are about 12 miles from the Wyoming Station of the Great Western of Canada Railway, and some ar rangements will be necessary for the transit over that distance, the existing roads being of the worst description. At the site of the principal wells the ground was two years ago covered by an almost unbroken forest. Now there is a resident and constantly increasing population of upwards of 500. During last winter the coaches took an average of 50 people daily to the spot from Wyom ing, and many bought land and remained. There are several inns filled to overflowing. Two good hotels are in course of erection. Houses and shanties are rising on all sides, and the greatest activity is everywhere apparent. At present there are about 100 wells in full operation, all yielding oil. The land is held in large blocks, the owner leasing acres and half acres for 99 years, The term usually are 300 dols. for the privilege and on third of the oil drawn from the wells. The well are sunk and cribbed to a depth of from 40 to 60 feet till the rock is reached. In many cases surface oil is found before reaching the rock, but it is of rather inferior quality and doubtful yield. After arriving at the rock, the wells through the earth being from 4 to 7 feet square, they drill to a depth of from 40 to 70 feet, between which distances oil is almost sure to be discovered. Wooden tanks, varying from 500 to 2,000 gallons capacity, are con structed close to each well. The oil is pumped into these, and afterwards drawn off into barrels to be sent to market. The cost of a well is very small. Parties ave in the distriet making contracts for sink ing wells. Their charge is for sinking through the earth 21 dols. per foot, and for drilling through the rock 21- dols. per foot. A well after being com menced usually yields oil in less than 30 days. At these prices a well can be sunk, a tank for 100 gal lons made, and a pump and all necessary appliances provided for a sum equal to about £lOO sterling. When oil is found, one man at 45. a day can readily pump 100 barrels, or 4,000 gallons a day. The csst of the oil, including every expense, and cal culating the reimbursement of every outlay in curred in one year, and also calculating a yield of 15 barrels, or 600 gallons a day, is, it is alleged, absolutely less than a halfpenny sterling a gallon delivered into the tank alongside the well. Very few attempts have yet been made to pump by steam at the place where the oil i s most extensively found, nearly all the labour being by hand. This is partly to be attributed to the badness of the roads, preventing the possibility of getting heavy loads into the district, and partly to the yield of the wells being on an average about equal to the quantity a man can easily pump in a day. A moderate average yield for all the wells now in operation (100) is 15 barrels, or 600 gallons, a I day. At the rate at which privileges are being disposed of and parties are preparing to sink wells, there will be 500 in operation before Christmas. Taking the present 100 wells only, however, the result is extraordinary. Thus -100 wells yielding 600 gallons give 60,000 gallons per day, 360,000 per week, or 18,720,000 per annum. A trustworthy observer remarks :—" Such a yield seems almost fabulous, and yet I believe, from personal observa tion and inquiry on the spot, that it is within the truth." SOUTHAMPTON, Wednesday.—The Hamburg- American Company's screw steamer Hammonia, Captain Schwensen, sailed hence for New York this afternoon, t a king out the usual mails, upwards of 300 passengers, 20,000 f. in specie from Havre, and a large cargo. She has no specie from England. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Avon, Captain Reeks, left this afternoon, at four o'clock, for St. Thomas's, to be placed on an intercolonial station. THE STRIKE IN THE IRON TRADE.—The ex tensive strike among the puddlers in the north of England has not been arranged. At the monthly meeting of the ironmasters, held at Middlesborough on Tuesday, it was determined not to allow the men to go in unless at the full 10 per cent, reduction. On Saturday, in consequence of the continued depression in the iron trade, the Bishopwear mouth Ironworks will close, and this, combined with the bankruptcy of Mr. Oswald, the iron shipbuilder, will throw 2,800 men out of empleyroent at that place. The Lord Chief Justice has appointed Thomas. Hull Terrell, Alfred Hanson, and Henry S. Maine, Esquires, of the Chancery bar, to revise the lists of voters for the metropolitan boroughs, the city of London, ani the county of Middlesex. A MEM. FOR LORD NORMANBY.—The Turin correspondent of the Temps relates that during the pr ov i n cial government of the .a.'tnilian provinces in 1859 Colonel Frapelli, on officer of remarkable energy, was engaged in r aising with the utmo st des p atch a national f orce; but the question was how to dress and equip the recruits as fast as they were rais ed. In this emer g enc y a contractor sent in a tender to fit out the whole force at a very moderate figure. The contract is placed among the official archives. The contractor was the Duke of Modena himself, treating with the usurping Government through the me dium of a well-known banking-house. Nor was the specu lation a bad one ; for either the usurping Government would last and pay its way, or the Duke would have his own again, and sink the clothier and contractor in the sovereign. PAINFUL SCENE AT A FIRE.—A fire took plate on Tuesday morning at the premises of Mr. Pritchard, in Conduit-street. Eleven persons were at one time in great danger of being burnt to death, but were saved by a fly :0 - escape, under Conductor Bailey, who behaved with g" teat courage. I A
