(Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) THE LANDED INVESTMENT COMPANY LIMITED-PETITION FOR WINDING UP. A meeting was held for proof of debt and for declaring a call on the contributions of the company formed in April, 1660, and carried on in Sergeant Inn, Fleet-street. The petition wan presented by Mr. S. L. Seckham, of the City of Oxford, architect, and a creditor. The capital was proposed to be £lOO,OOO, in 10,000 shares of £lO each, but only £2BO had been allotted to eight shareholders, and the project was abandoned. The business of the day was almost a matter of form, as there were no creditors to prove, and, after a brief discus sion as to the call it was adjourned until the return of Mr. Commissioner Fane in October. TUB LADES OF KILLARNBY. Although actually one and the same body of water, one lake in a great measure supplying the others, still they are divided into parts—Lough Leane, or the Lower Lake ; Muckross, Tore, or the Middle Lake—and the Upper Lake—with a river called the Long Range, two and a half miles in length, running from the Upper to the Middle Lake. The Lower Lake is five miles long by three miles broad ; the Middle two miles by one broad ; and the Upper Lake, two and a half miles by three quarters of a mile in breadth. Besides a num ber of smaller cascades, there are four parti cularly worthy of notice :—The Tore Cascade, about four miles from Killarney town, said to be the finest of the Lake Waterfalls; Derri cunnihy Cascade, eight and three-quarter miles dis tant; Esknamucky, six and a-half miles distant; and O'Sullivan's Cascade, four and a half miles ; the last mentioned visited from Ross Island, by boat; the other three may be visited by road from Killarney. The bosom of the Lower Lake is dotted with islands of various size and form, some of them connected with the surrounding shores and with each other by bridges constructed so as to appear in keeping with the surrounding scenery. On the Lower Lake there are 30 islands, on the Middle four, and on the Upper six ; but none of the last are of a large size. It is said the circumference of the entire is about 30 miles. The Upper Lake is in its level five feet higher than the Middle or Lower Lakes, which are only separated from each other by a narrow strip of land projecting from Muckross island ; the Upper Lake is two miles distant from the nearest point of the Middle Lake. From the immediate vicinity of the town, a chain of mountains fully 40 miles in length is distinctly visible ; those in the immediate vicinity of the lakes are very imposing in their appearance, varying as they do from 1,100 to 3,400 feet in height above the level of the sea. The principal of these are M'Gillycuddy's Reek, upwards of 3,400 feet ; Man gerton, 2,700 Purple Mountain the same height ; Tomies, 2,400 ; the Devil's Punch 133w1, 2,200 ; Torc, 1,750; and the,Eagle's Nest, 1,100. As Ross Castle is likely to become a point of great interest, from the fact of its having been the Queen's point of embarkation on her first visit to the Lakes, the following details respecting it may prove interesting : Ross is more properly a peninsula than an island, being separated from the mainland only by a narrow cut through a morass, which it is more than probable was a work of art, with a view to strengthen the fortifications of the castle. The island, for so it must be termed, is the largest island of the Lake. It contains about 80 plantation acres, richly and luxuriously cultivated; a portion of it is converted into a graceful and carefully kept flower garden, where seats are placed so as to command the more striking and picturesque views ; and in every part nature has been so judiciously trained and guided, that the whole scene is one of surpassing beauty. The castle is a fine remain ; much less in jured by time than the majority of its co-mates in Kerry county. It is a tall, square, embattled build ing, based upon a limestone rock, sustained at the land side by a plain massive buttress ; from the north-east and north-best angles project two machicolated defences. It contains a spiral stair case of cut stone. It was erected by one of the earlier chieftains of the O'Donoghues. Of course the several legends connected with the name of the O'Donoghue have their source in thi4, his castle of Ross. The peasantry will point out the window from which he leaped into the lake when he exchanged his sovereignty on earth for that of the waters under it. He was endowed, they say, with the gift of transforming himself into any shape, and his wife requested him to exhibit some of his transformations before her. He warned her that if he did so, and she displayed any symptoms of fear, they would be separated for ever. She still persisted in the spirit of female curiosity, and in perfect confidence that she could look on unmoved. On his assuming, however, some very terrible shape, she shrieked with terror. He immediately sprang from the window to the lake below, and remains there an enchanted spirit, his enchantment to continue until, by his brief annual ride, his silver shoes are worn out by the attrition of the surface of the water. Ross Castle forms a conspicuous feature in the landscape from every part of the Lower Lake. During the war tl e outbuildings were fitted up as a barrack. The castle is famous in Irish history as being the last in Munster to hold out against the Parliamentary army. In 1652, Ludlow, the succes sor of Ireton, assisted by Sir Hardress Waller, laid siege to it. It was defended by Lord Muskerry with a sufficiency of troops, and an amply supply of provisions ; yet the castle, so well prepared for de fence, surrendered upon articles, without striking a vigorous blow. The circumstance is attributable to the terror that seized upon the garrison when they beheld war-ships floating on the lake, in fulfilment of an ancient prophecy, which foretold the castle could be taken only when an event occurred-- almost as improbable as that " Birnam Forest" should come to " Dunsinane." Although it is very unlikely that Ludlow had heard of this tradition, or would have heeded it if he had, it is certain that, having considered it wisest to attack the castle by water, he had constructed boats for the purpose ; " and," as he says, " when we had received our boats, each of which was capable of containing 120 men, I ordered one of them to be rowed about, in order to find out the most convenient place for land ing upon the enemy, which they perceiving, thought fit, by timely submission, to prevent the danger that threatened them."

A NEW REAPER.—A very remarkable reaping machine was tried a few days ago in a village not far from Newcastle. Its weight does not exceed 871 b.; one horse can draw it, and yet it does as much work in as little time as the ponderous vehicles that require the assistance of three horses. The inventor is the son of a Northumbrian farmer.—Newcastle Chronicle. HIGH FEES IN HIGH PLACES.—The House of Commons has published its " Standing Orders," corrected to the close of the Session. The table of fees would sur prise persons unacquainted with Parliamentary business. The rate varies according to the sum intended to be laid out upon the undertaking to be sanctioned. If a town deter mine on a great public improvement, on which a million and a half of money is to be laid out, the first step is to de posit a petition for leave to bring in a bill before the House —but the House cannot see the petition unless there is a £5O note in it. On the first reading of the bill, on the second reading, on the report from the select committee on the bill, and even after approval by the select committee, on the third reading, too, down to the time when the house has to part with the bill, it can see no merit in t unless on each of these steps £l5O be paid before the bill is put to the vote. These are parts of the price which " the powers that be" charge for n Act of Parliament, THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. YORK RACES.—(This Day. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) COLT SAPLING STAKES.

The two women, Johnson and Wilson, who were fully committee for trial for imposing on the Rev. Mr. Strug• nell, were placed at the bar again to-day, in order that other charges might be preferred against them, and also for the purpose of hearing what was known of them by the Men dicity Society. Inspector West said the gentleman of whom h/ spoke the other day was now in attendance, and he could prove another robbery by the prisoners. Mr. Carlyle, of Berners-street, said a few days ago the prisoners called at his house, and, after detailing a most sorrowful case, applied to him for an admission into the Lying-in-Hospital. His suspicions were aroused that they were imposters and determined to keep them in view while in his house. Notwithstanding the greatest precaution, after they had left the house an umbrella was discovered to have been stelbn, and as Johnson was the one who stood near the hihind umbrella stand, he was of opinion that she was the Marty who stole it. Johnson—That's a lie. Witness—The umbrella was safe a minute before they entered the house, and was missed immediately they had quitted it. Johnson—Oh, your worship, don't believe him ; he must be mistaken. Inspector West—They are both very bad characters, your worship. Another gentleman from Somerset House is also in attendance to prove a case against them if ne cessary. Johnson--Another gentleman! Oh you villain, you're trying to transport me, and you're getting up all this evi dence. What chance does a po.)r lone woman stand against a policeman. I've got a good character, your worship, but you don't seem to think so. The Mendicity officer produced the record of a number of convictions against the prisoners. Johnson (howling and crying very loudly)—He's another nice article. All the convictions are mistakes. Oh, your worship, don't believe him ; think of a poor lone widow— think of my poor babies. The Magistrate said he should commit them for trial, also for stealing the umbrella. Johnson (still crying very loudly)--Oh, don't do that ; think of the children. The Magistrate—Yes, I shall. Johnson (to Inspector West)—Wait till we come out, old fellow ; we'll serve you out for this. It's all through you we go to sessions. We won't forget you. Only wait till we come out, we'll be one with you. Both prisoners were then with some difficulty removed from the bar. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTING TO ROB MEMBERS or THE JUNIOR UNITED SERVICE CLUB.—Three young men of low ap pearance, named Dennis Regan, James Tucker, and James Barrett, were charged with attempting to pick the pockets of several gentlemen leaving the Junior United Service Club, the previous night, about 10 o'clock. Gordon, 336 A, said, about 10 o'clock the previous night, while in Regent• street, he saw the prisoners standing near the club-house, and, on a gentleman leaving, they all fol lowed him into Charles-street, where he saw RegE.n attempt to pick his pocket. He then returned to the club-house, and followed another gentleman and attempted to pick his pocket. They then returned and followed a third gentleman, and also tried to pick his pocket. They tried to escape, but he caught Regan behind an omnibus, and having handed him over to a constable, went after the others and took them in Regent -quadrant. Sergeant Holmes, F division, said he know Regan had been soldiering for some time, but before then he was a thief. Ho had only been back a few days. Tucker had had three years in a reformatory. He knew nothing of Barrett whatever. Mr. Yardley—Have you been a soldier, Regan ? Regan—l was in the Royal Horse Artillery as a driver, but being kicked by a horse in the side was discharged. Mr. Yardley—Where is your discharge ? Regan—l have lost it. Mr. Yardley—l suppose then it was not a discharge worth keeping ? Regan—Well, that's about it, it was not a very good one. Tu3ker—l was in Redhill Reformatory. Mr. Yardley—l will remand Barrett, but commit the others for three months each with hard labour. CLERKENWELL. Joseph Williams was placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyncourt, charged with stealing a quantity of railway bills from the offices of the Great Northern Railway, King's- cross. The defemlant denied stealing the bills in question; he said he had been engaged by a person, who described him self as a clerk on the railway, to deliver the bills to the public. The magistrate was not satisfied with the account given as to the possession of the bi ls, and fined Williams 20s. for not being able to give a satisfactory account of how the bills came into his possession. Helen Hunt was committed to prison for two months, for stealing a lady's reticule from a stationer's shop. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE fO.l . ASSAULT.—WiIIiam Evans, a ,boultseller, in JUbilSifratreet, Stepney, was brought bekriS,Mr. Woolrych,; titfged with indecently as saulting SoPhia Smeed, a girl aged ten years. Mr. Gomm, from the office of Mr. Charles Young, soli citor, defended the accused. The prisoner is a pale-fa ced slender young man, and his parents keep a large bookseller's shop in the Cambridge Road, Bethnal Green, near the Salmon and Ball, and are very respectable people, appeared much distressed at the odious charge preferred against their son. The investiga tion commenced yesterday afternoon, and which terminated this morning went to show that the prisoner had im properly assaulted with his hands only, and exposed 14 person to three little girls, the sisters of the com plainant, and aged respectively seven, four, and two years, and he had been severely reprimanded by their mother for doing so. In spite of these remonstrances the girl Sophia Smeed, who was 10 years old last May, was invited into his shop oa. Wednesday afternoon, while she was nursing a baby. He said he would show her a picture-book. She went into the shop, and he produced a large and bulky volume of " Arts and Sciences," and exhibited to her the plates illustrat;ng the article midwifery, which were very numerous. The book, a quarto volume of the "Dictionary of Arts and Science," vol. 2, was produced and laid before the magistrate. The prisoner, after showing and describing the engravings to the girl, said, " Mind my shop while I go down stairs. He was absent a few minutes, and returned with his clothes in disorder, and exposed himself in a very im proper manner to the girl. He then proceeded to commit the assault complained of with his hands. It was an out rage of the most gross description, and which the girl re sisted as much as she was able. Mr. Gomm cross-examined the girl, and was proceeding to put questions with a view of proving she was a consent ing party, when Mr. Woolrych said Mr. Gomm was pur suing a dangerous course ; and added, " The prisoner is a nasty fellow to show the girl the engravings in that book. He is a person of ill-conditioned mind." Eliza Smeed, wife of a warehouseman, and mother of the girl, said her daughter came home to her and related what had taken place. She then gave the prisoner into custody. Esther Lunn, a very respectable and intelligent girl, said she went into the prisoner's shop with another girl, on Wednesday evening, and saw his clothes in disorder, his trousers down, and his linen hanging out, and the little girl Smeed seated on a chair nursing a baby. Mr. Gomm said the prisoner met with an accident a year and half ago that injured his head, and since he had been suffering from want of memory, hallucinations, and night walking. He would call witnesses to make out the defence. Mr. Woolrych—A jury must decide this case. The depositions having been completed by Mr. Rowdier, the second clerk, the prisoner was committed for trial. THE WRECKED STEAMER BALTlC.—Captain 0. Russell, who was despatched to the wreck of the Baltic screw steamer (of and from Hull for Riga, which got on hhore near Dago), by Lloyd's Salvage Association, to pro tect the interest of the underwriters, reports that, up to the 13th inst., 360 bales of sound cotton had been saved from the wreck, likewise the threshing machines, portable en gines, iron, and, indeed, moat of the cargo.

The report of the directors, which was unanimously adopted, stated that the number of messages sent by the company's lines during the half-year ending the 30th June last, amount to 104,593, while only 79,503 were transmitted during the corresponding period of 1860, being an increase of 25,090 messages. roe total re ceipts in money are, however, less by £1,236 tb an those of the six months ending Dec. 31, 1860, whieJa deficiency arises chiefly from the reduction of tariff, and notwithstand ing the large increase of business, the directors have, by a judicious economy, been enabled to reduce the working ex penses in the past half-year, by about £9OO. A QUA TICS. DEAL REGATTA. 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 was 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 far 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 Miter, 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. Crout, 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. Grout is under the care of It. Bain, of Lambeth. DISAFFECTED SLAVES.—Many of the negroes in Richmond are at present idle on account of the tobacco fee t oriesfehlt in re aving been cl ose d , and there is considerable uneasi nessgard to them by the wbite population. The patrol and poli.te force, which parade the streets day and night, always have their guns loaded, so as to be prepared for any emergency. The negroes are kept well informed of the course of events by the coloured waiters at the vari ous hotels, where the officers, over their wine and whisky, discuss military affairs with more freedom than discretion. A short time ago, three negroes were passing down one of the streets of Richmond, when one of them complained to the others of the treatment he had recently received from his master, to which one of his companions replied "Well, never mind ; Massa Lincoln will be here soon, and deg it will be all right." This conversation having been ' overheard, the negroes were arrested, and each received thirty-nine 1 tshes. On another occasion our informant saw a negro drilling, in the outskirts of the city, after the usual military fashion, some forty or fifty negroes. He asked him what he was drilling the negroes for, to which he replied, " Oh I everybody learnin' to be soldiers now ; why not de darkeys, too ?" Not satisfied with this answer he repeated the interrogatory, when the negro said, " Well, really, massa, I don't like to say." It is a general com plaint among the whites that the negroes are much more impudent than usual, and but little disposed to cheerfully submit to the restraints which were formerly imposed upon thern.—Philadelphia Press. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—Another great ele ment of our present civilisation is beginning to make s i g ns of its existence in the South Kensington Museum. We allude to the electric telegraph. Bakewell's copying ma chine is one of the most interesting of this class, as it brings before the public eye the means that can be employed to write with a pen thousands of miles in length. If the At lantic cdble were in working order, for instance, a man through its instrumentality could sit down to write a letter in London, and feel certain that a fae-sitnile of his hand writing was at the same moment coming out of the tele. graph office at New York. The manner in which this astounding machine works is as follows :—The message is originally written on a conducting material, such as tinfoil, with resin or some non-conducting ink. Over the face of this letVer, which is placed on a cylinder, a point of meta revolves—this point is in connexion with the conducting wire.; at New York, say, a piece of Chetniqatiy-prepared paper is placed on a like cylinder to receive tine message; both cylinders are made to move round by clockwork. As the point at this end of the wire passes over thy© non-con ducting resin writing no current passes; hence the point which moves synonymously with it at New York does not change the colour of the paper, but all the other surface of the writing tablet being a conductor, the currents pass and deepen its colour by a ch em i cal action o n the far distant recording tablet. The receiver thus obtains a perfect fac simile of his correspondent's handwriting done in white upon a blue ground.
