CHARGE OF ROBBING AND ASSAULTING A BETTING MAN.—James Hennely, a carpenter, was charged before Mr. Beadon, with stealing a sovereign, and also assaulting William Neagle, of 23, Rathbone-place, described as a " betting man." The prosecutor, it appears, met the prisoner at the White Lion public-house, Hemmings-row, and after taking two small bets with him, the prosecutor offered to take one for a sovereign, which he laid on the counter with two half• crowns, that a publican had left this house about six months. The prisoner immediateiy took up the sovereign and refused to give it back to the prosecutor, who, on again asking for his sovereign, was struck by the prisoner a violent blow in the mouth. Prisoner was then given into custody. Prisouer asked the prosecutor if he " settled" with him, if that woulddo. He wished to " settle," and did not think the prosecutor was above doing that. Prosecutor refused. The proprietor of the White Lion was called, and said he refused to sanction any bets being made, and saw the pri soner take up the sovereign. They wished him to hold the sovereign, but he refused to do so. Mr. Beadon said after what he had heard, if the prisoner gave prosecutor back his sovereign, he would discharge him—otherwise he would send him for trial. Prisoner said he would give back the sovereign, but he won it. The sovereign having been given back, though very reluc tautly, the prisoner was discharged. OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT TO A FEMALE.—James Webb, 3, Harcourt-street, Marylebone-roai, a well-dressed man, was charged before Mr. Beadon as follows : Catherine O'Connor, a respectable looking servant out of place, living at 12, Brown-street, Grosvenor-square, said that about seven the previous evening she was in Duke street, having just left her home, when the prisoner and two others came up to her, and the prisoner, standing in front of her, held out his hand and asked her to shake hands with him. She refused to do so as he was a stranger, when, after making use of a vulgar expression, he pulled her clothes over her head. He appeared to have been drinking, but was not drunk, and knew what he was about. Sergeant Glass said two friends came to the station and offered bail, stating that prisoner was the wrong man. Jarvey, 200 C, said the female met him and told him she had been grossly insulted by the gentleman, and he went to Bell's public-house, at the corner of North Audley - street, and took him into custody. The prisoner was drunk —in fact, mischievously so. Prisoner said he was sorry such a charge was made against him, and that he knew nothing about it. Mr. Beadon said people were not to be treated in this way, and fined the prisoner £5, or two months in default. THAMES. A MOST UNLIKELY STOKY.—A poor woman, named Sarah Smith, dwelling in Poplar, came before Mr. Yardley and stated that, owing to the inclemency of the weather, and to her husband being out of employ, she was in great distress, and upon applying to one of the relieving-officers of the Poplar Union he refused to relieve her and her family. Mr. Yardley—Upon what grounds did he refuse f Applicant—He said there were too many of us. Mr. Yardley—How many children have you. Applicant—Seven, sir. The eldest is 15 years old, and the youngest 11 months old. Mr. Yardley could hardly believe that any relieving officer would assign as a reason for refusing relief the number of a family. It was a most unlikely story, indeed. If the relieving-officer had given as a reason for not reliev ing a man and his family that they were nine in number, he was a most inconsistent and unreasonable person. It was the first time he had ever heard of relief being denied to a man and woman in distress because they had a large family. That was an additional reason, in addition to the ordinary ones, of administering relief. He would write a letter to Mr. Jeffreys, the principal relieving-officer of the Poplar Union, calling attention to the case, and he was quite sure, if the family were deserving and the parents were persons of good repute, that they would be promptly and effectually relieved. If the family were in want he would give them something from the poor box fund. Applicant—l am in want, and my children have no food to eat. Mr. Tardley—Give her 25., Livingston. The woman received the money with thankfulness, and left the court with the letter. James Stanton, an infirm Irishman, who said he was in great distress, complained to Mr. Yardley, that on apply ing at the relieving-office in Poplar, he was ordered to go about his business, and one of the officers refused to take his name down or to bring his case before the Board of Guardians for their consideration. Mr. Yardley—l will write to Mr. Jeffreys about your case. The above applications created much surprise in court, far Mr. Jeffreys has always been distinguished for his humanity and attention to the poor, and has the reputation of being a very intelligent, careful, and kind-hearted man. ZX.ECUTION AT IVINCILESTER.—(This Day.) The execution of James Johnson, the soldier condemned at the recent Winchester Assizes for the double murder at Aldershot—where, on the 29th September, ho shot Serjeant Chips and Corporal Coles—took place this morning, over the area gateway of the county gaol. Since his condem nation Johnson enjoyed his meals and sleep regularly, and abandoned all further attempts at the simulation of insanity. Johnson is the sixth culprit who has undergone capital punishment at the new gaol. The others were Abraham Baker, who shot his sweetheart, in 1855, at Southampton ; Jones, the convict, who murdered Dr. Hope at Portsmouth in 1856 ; and the three Italians, Lagava, Barbalano, and Pettrick, convicted in the same year of murder on the high seas.

BA IL WAY INTELLIGENCE. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA, The London directors of this company state in their re port to the bond elders and shareholders, with respect to the present financial position of the company, that they are alrea3) aware of the inability of the directors to raise the £1,500,000 money as authorised by the shareholders at their meetings in London and Canada lest spring, which sum was required, together with the calculated proceeds of then existing assets, to relieve the company from pressing liabi lities, to defray the expense of additional rolling stock. sidings, and station accommodation necessary to work the line efficiently, and to meet during the current year the claims for interest on the bonded debt. As stated in the report of the London Directors of the 27th October last, the requirements, including the unpaid arrears of interest on bonds up to the present time, and after allowance for the depreciated value of assets unsold to liquidate existing engagements, amount in London in round numbers to £1,706,000 ; in Canada to £350,000 ; to which must be added, in order to place the road and rolling stock in effi cient condition, £500,000, making a total of £2,556,000. When the London directors were convinced of the impossi bility of obtaining in England, on any terms, the necessary funds for working the line with efficiency, economy, and success, they immediately called the attention of their col leagues in Canada to the necessity of applying any surplus receipts of traffic beyond working expenses in the mode specified by the Acts of the Canadian Parliament. The Canadian direction took, as was its duty, legal advice as to the proper application of such traffic receipts ; and in con formity with legal authority in Canada, which, however, is at variance with high legal opinions in England, employed the surplus, beyond what is considered in this country as strictly " working expenses," in meeting pressing claims for past expenditure in rolling stock, fuel, and stores, the settlement of which claims was deemed necessary to pre vent the stoppage of the road. There has not been a suffi cient surplus of income over working expenses (in which all legal authorities both in England and Canada unite to class the rents of existing leases), during this current half year, to meet the payment of the interest due on the Ist of January, 1861, on the first preference bonds ; and the absence of all remittances from Canada for this or for any other object forces upon the directors the painful necessity of leaving the interest due on the Ist of January in abey ance, pending the existing financial struggles of the com pany. All these facts combine to press upon all interested in the existence of the Grand Trunk road, whether in Canada or England, the urgent necessity of presiding promptly the means of preserving the undertaking from the ruinous confusion which must arise from the want of money and of credit, and from the conflict of various claims and protracted litigation ; and for that purpose, as the shareholders aro aware, the Cana dian Board of Directors memorialised last summer, the Government to take the present condition of the com pany into its early consideration, for the purpose of devising some plan by which the interests of all concerned, whether in England or Canada, might be protected from destruction. The Directors in London deem it to be their duty on this occasion to refer to that memorial, on account of the misconception of a portion of the Canadian press of the motives which dictated that address to the Government. It would be as absurd as false to pretend that the directors wero not guided in that step by the wish to save the capi tal invested in England in the undertaking from total loss; but it is equally incorrect to suppose that they wished to impose any additional burden upon the people of Canada. The directors have as little the desire, as the right, to dic tate or suggest any particular measure to the Canadian Legislature; but they believe that the relief prayed for, to restore the credit of this company, might be afforded with out any increase of the taxation of the Canadian people or any permanent addition to the debt of the province. the directors weeitld most willingly have avoided, if pos sible, any further appeal for legislative interference, and for that purpose would have recommended the shareholders to submit even to onerous conditions, had there beenmeans of raising the money required from the resources or credit of the company; but all efforts for that object having been exhausted in vain they venture to ask the Canadian people calmly to consider whether their interests are not so far identified with those of the company as to desire the continued.. operation of the road and its further development to meet the growing wants of the province, or whether it is preferable—by the re fusal of all further assistance to re-establish the credit of the company, which may cost the province nothing, but which may add incalculably to its further wealth and pros• perity—to leave this undertaking in a state of doubtful existence, and of most limited efficiency, and, by its sad failure, to check the influx of British capital into the pro vince for future public works, and for the further develop ment of its future resources. It is unnecessary to pause for a moment to explain that a direction, overwhelmed by an enormous floating debt, and met at every moment by discredit and litigation, cannot, economically or efficiently, deal either with the local wants of the province, or secure for it that transit trade with the Western States which has always proved a source of increasing gain to the mercantile, producing, and labouring population of the countries through which it passes. The directors, therefore, concur is the opinion recently expressed in the report of the Lon don Committee of Bondholders, that the obviously prudent course is to await the calm decision of the Canadian people through their Legislature, after the result of the provin cial commission of inquiry, and afterwards to appoint an English commission of investigation into the managerhent in Canada and the future prospects of the company. In the meantime they venture to suggest the propriety of united action on the part of all classes of bondholders and shareholders, and the abstinence from legal proceed ings, which they fear might injure all, to the permanent benefit of none ; and for that purpose recommend the appointment of a select committee to confer with the direc tors as to their choice of the commissioners to be here after nominated for the inquiry in Canada, and also to obtain preliminary information from the officials who are at present in England, and are able to furnish such infor m cation as to the details and mode of keeping tho accounts in Canada. Mr. T. E. BLACKWELL, vice-president, in his report to the London directors of the Grand Trunk Company, states that the line is in excellent working order, the permanent way as well as all the great works being in good condition. With respect to the traffic, his belief in the realisation of previous estimates is undiminished. At present the com pany's supply of rolling stock and extent of terminal accom modation and sidings are altogether inadequate, and would require a further expenditure of from £400,000 to £500,000. He also states that the traffic, which had for some weeks since the last harvest risen to an average weekly return of upwards of £16,000, has boon unfavourably affected by the general financial collapse in credit in the United States, and which has operated alike on the traffic and on the value of the securities of all the American railways connecting the Atlantic with the West. A Parliamentary committee having pronounced against the agreements entered into with the Great Western Railway of Canada and the steamboats, and legal authorities having declared both of them in their existing form to be illegal, it is obviously the duty of the company to have these ques tions decided at the earliest moment. He states that the " through " traffic falls short of the estimates which were prominently sot forth in the original prespectus on account of the inefficiency of the means and accommodation, and the want of that confi dence in the conduct of the business which a complete equipment of the railway would inspire. At the same time it was necessary and only fair that cities and districts and local and personal interests benefitted by the railway should unite with the company in providing for the conduct of their own business. Recent efforts of this nature had been made by some of the municipalities and private individuals, which could not fail shortly to prove of much real advan tage to the company and themselves. With respect to the working expenses generally, the best energies of every one have been exerted to promote economy, but the want of proper accommodation and facilities have prevented the carrying into effect the savings and arrangements he had calculated upon. The last winter's experience showed that the expenditure necessary for the renewal of the rails had been under-estimated. The total receipts for traffic on the line during the eight weeks ending the 24th November last amounted to £133,319, and the expenditure to £95,325, leaving £37,994. Tho receipts for the eight weeks averaged £l7 3s. 7d. per mile per week, the expenses £l2 ss. Bd., and the net revenue £4 17s. 11d, per mile per week. ISLE OF WIGHT EASTERN SECTION. The object of this company's application to Parliament is to extend the Isle of Wight Eastern Section to Newport, in th• Isle of Wight, and between Sundown and Newport, in extension of the lines connecting Ryde and Ventnor and the oast coast of the island. For this purpose the company propose to raise £BO,OOO on shares, and borrow £26,000. The works are to be oomplsted in four years. AUSTRIAN FINANCES.—On the 28th of December the Wiener Zeitung contained two Imperial ordinances, which are in direct contradiction to the " diploma" of the 20th of October, 1860. The first ordinance directs that the notes of the Austrian Bank shall circulate " as a legal in the Lomba r d o -V enet i an tender" (ala Zahlungsmitta) kingdom. The second that the coupons of the National Loan be paid in bank -notes with an adequate agio "until after the first of April, 1861." BREAKING VP OF ICE ON THE THAMES, AND ExTENsivß FLOODS.—Yesterday the immense fields of ice which extended nearly one-third of the width of the river from either shore, leaving only a nar row channel, were broken up by the increased velocity of the current on the ebb tide, caused by the swollen state of the river, aided by the land floods; the toes, and bergs of immense size, were extremely numerous, and being driven with great impetuosity, caused considerable damage to craft in the stream. One floe was of such large dimensions as to block up one of the arches of London-bridge for some time before it went to pieces. The accumulated masses of ice prevented the river steamers from plying, and were also an obstruction to the traffic by lighters and barges. The land-floods after the rapid thaw have caused the overflow of the Brent and other tributaries, by which the adjacent low-lying lands are laid infer water, and much damage has been done to property. The marshes in Kent and Eno aro overflowed, resembling large lakes. .~.~ THE CITINESE TREA. Tr. The following is the text of the English treaty : CONVENTION BETWEEN HER MAJESTY AND THE EMPEROR OP CHINA. Signed, in the English and Chinese Langua..ges, at Pekin, October 24, 1860.
