SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, NEWMARKET HOUGIITON MEETING. MUMMY. A drizzly rain, which increased as the day went on, gave a rather gloomy appearance to the Heath this morning. The first event over the severe B.C. was remarkable for the breaking down of two of t'ae horses engaged, Weatherbow and Lord in Waiting, allowing Ossian to beat The Reserve. Baron Rothschild's unwieldy horse, aptly named The Giant, had it all his own way with the very moderate Farce; and an outsider, Ethel, made a very good race of it with Kildare in the Sciling Handicap. The event of the day was the Free Handicap Sweepstakes, in which Fille de l'Air, Cambusean, Baragah, Master Richard, and Breezo were to meet on the A.F., and divide the question whether the mare could give 171 b to Master Richard. She was the favourite at evens, Baragah, who met her at Illb the best of the weights, holding second place. The rain had made the ground rather sticky, and this was of course against the top weights. Great animal as she un deniably is, Fille de l'Air had to yield under her weight, Master Richard winning cleverly by a length before Baragah, who was a head in front of the mare. Cambuscan, who was not pressed, was fourth, Of the other events there is not much to say. They were of the usual character, 10 soy sweepstakes and £5O plates, and doubtless fully answered the gambling purposes for which they are intended. Coup d'Etat gave us a taste of his quality in a Handicap Sweepstakes, T.Y.C., whore, carrying Bst 71b, ho shook off his knees at the cords and won with out being half extended. The ground was rather holding, and promises to be more so to-morrow. Sweepstakes of 100 soya each; for 4-yr_old colts, Bst 101b1 and fillies, Bst fib. The owner of the second horse to receive back his stake. B.C. 7 subs. Capt. 1 - Lindley's Ossian, Bst 101 b (H. Grimshaw) 1 Mr T. Hughes's The Reserve, Bst 10Ib .... (D. Hughes) 2 The Lord in Waiting and Weatherbow also ran. Betting —2 to 1 agst Weatherbow, 5 to 2 agst Ossian, and 5 to 1 agst The Reserve. Lord in Waiting made play,The Reserve going on second, and Weatherbow next, Ossian lying away some 50 yards. Half-way across the flat the loader gave way, having broken down, and the lead was then ,left with The Reserve, who carried it on to the Old Duke's Stand, where Weatherbow broke down so badly that Wells immediately dismounted, This left the issue with the two. Ossian, who had gradually made up his leeway, caught the leader half-way in the rails, and won in a canter by 15 lengths. Subscription Handicap Plate of £5O for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Baron Rezthschild's The Giant, 3 yrs, 7st. (H. Covey) 1 Mr Parker's Farce, 4 yrs, 7st 121 b .... (11. Grimshaw) 2 J. Grimshaw weighed for Mr Wood's Rose, 3 yre, Sat 31b, but the filly did not reach the heath in time to start.

HURON. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern ; Mr. P. Raw■ son in the chair. Mr SHORT, the secretary, read the advertisement convening the meeting. The report stated that the directors had taken steps to carry out the agreement with the Grand Trunk Company. They had nomi. nated Mr Brydges as the managing director of the company, thereby placing him in a position to con• trol the working of the two systems. A joint com mittee, consisting of two members of each board, would exercise for the present supervision on this side. The earnings of the Grand Trunk Company far the 12 months ending in June last would under the recent agreement have given to this company , from £45,000 to £60,000, according to the pro portion of the scale, which ranged from 13 per cent. in the first, 161 per cent. in the last year of its currency. The committee of bondholders, acting in concert with Messrs. Bischoff, Celle, and Bompas, at a mceting held on the 26th of August last, had agreed to re commend their co•bondholders to subscribe towards the new capital upon the following terms :--viz,, 12 per cent. of the amount of the mortgage bonds or two years coupons up to and inclusive of those falling due on Feb. 1, 1865, with an understanding► that this subscription was conditional upon the re. mainder of the amount required, say £OO,OOO (equal to £150,000 in all), being provided, as called for by the agreement with the Grand Trunk Company. The company's resources for this were the deferred bonds, and the unissued preference shares, for which options existed enabling the holders to take them up at the price of £5 per £lO share. Those options would expire in July next, and there could be no question that at such a price, looking at the improved prospects of the company, the shares would be duly taken up, whether by the option holders or by the public. Meanwhile the directors had made such arrangements with the Grand Trunk Company as were satisfactory in respect of the £75,000 covenanted for as outlay on the intern,. tional-bridge and third rail. The erection of the bridge would be commenced early in the spring of 1865, upon the subscription of this company and others being arranged. The capital account showed that it had been increared during the half-year by 87,176 dols. including 58,070 dols. PubEeription for the bridge. The revenue account showed that 281,306 dols. had been received and 212,309 dais expended, leaving a balance of 71,997 dols. or £14,794 ; but the exceptional charges amounted to £21,502, including £9,060 for reno real of iron and £6,659 loss on American currency. As compared with the corresponding period in 1863 the revenue showed an increase of £5,578, arising from hrough passenger traffic. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said it was a source of gratification to the directors that the agreement between the two companies was, working towards a satisfactory result. The working arrangements had been very favourably received in Canada. The completion of the third rail on their line would produce great re sults in the development of throngh traffic. The engineers would bo ready to commence the bridge in the spring. Theincrease in the traffi2, of the two lines was over 20 per cent. as compared with the corresponding period of last year. The net receipts of the united lines last year amounted to 1370,000. (NIL. M0r0n—£315,950.) Taking 13 per cent, of that amount, to which they would have been en• titled, it amounted to £48,100, and would gradually increase year by year to 161 per cent., or £61,000. Before they arrived at that per tentage of the ro■ ceipts the Buffalo company would have sufficient net income to pay the whole of their annual liabili- ties. (Hear.) The increase of traffic was going on rapidly in Canada, and long before they obtained tho full amount under the agreement they would be payicg a dividend on their old shares. The net proceeds of this year were estimated at £400,000 for the two companies, and many expected that it would be much greater. The working ex penses of the Buffalo for the past half-year were very heavy in consequence of certain renewals of stock and way before handing over the line to the Grand Trunk Company. They had a loss by ex changes and a loss by fire, which he hoped would not happen again. He then adverted to the agree ment entered into with the committee of bondholders which the directors had hoped they had brought to a termination. It now appeared that certain ob jections had been raises, notwithstanding the assur ances of the directors that they were prepared to carry out the agreement eo soon as the state of the money market would admit of it. Mr C, HOLLAND seconded the motion for the adoption of the report. Mr MORRIS, the solicitor, explained that every. thing had been settled, as it was believed, most satisfactorily with the bondholders, but it appeared :hat one of the bondholders had made a calculation by which he estimated, from the existing state of the money market, that the securities the directors had to raise the money upon would not be of suffi- cient value to effect that object to the full amount, and contended, therefore, that the agreement ought not to be carried out. He (Mr. Morris) honestly believed the securities would produce all the money they wanted. Tho bondholders had a most beneficial arrangement with the Grand Trunk Company, by which they were secured their interest, and if not paid in a few days after it was due they could exer cise all their legal rights; a larger concession could not have been made, and it was therefore absurd in one of the bondholders to talk of breaking off such an agreement. The directors were willing to do everything they could to carry out the arrangement for the benefit of the bondholders and all concerned• Mr. M'EwEN, Mr. IfoLLAND, and other directors contended that the securities in the hands of the Board were ample to produce 411 the funds required for the purpose of carrying out the agreement with the bondholders and Grand Trunk Company. Mr. MoxoN, on the part of some dissentient bondholder or bondholders, threatened that unless his requirements, involving as it appeared a new arr:ngement, were complied with, he would go to Canada and oppose the agreement of the two com panies and put an end to it, Resolutions were passed adopting the report, and re-electing the directors. The directors were then empowered to arrange with the preference shareholders, and propose u scheme for dealing with the interest in arrear. On the motion of Mr FILDES, the bast thanks of the meeting were presented to the directors for the prompt and vigorous steps they had taken to carry PRICE ...... ...4d; STAMPED ....sd. into Effect the arrangement with the Grand Trunk Company. CAPE TOWN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern,--Mr H. Watson in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The UIiAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said 14regretted being obliged to ask them to take a smaller dividend than they had reason to expect. They had not yet settled the amount with the contractor,en which the Government was to pay a guarantee. The traffic had not resulted in a profit owing to the extensive renewal of decayed sleepers. There was, however, a balance of £4,913 availL..ble for distribution, which would admit of a dividend at the rate of 31 per cent. for the past three months, leaving £230 for next account. He considered that the causes of a reduced dividend were only temporary, and that by the development of the traffic and the exercise of strict economy in work ing they would gradually succeed in establishing a dividend equal at least to the Government guaran• tee. The traffic in June, July, and August had been seriously affected, but during the first 17 days of September it had increased to £lOO a day. The Wynberg Company since the report had been issued had renewed their negotiations with the company. It appeared to him that the Colonial Legislature, having sanctioned a rival line to divert the traffic, had not only injured the Cape Town Company, but increased the liability of the colony. The amount of the company's stock held in the colony was only £15,600, while English capitalists had provided the remainder, amounting to about £634,000. The company had been led to rely on the co-operation of the Government of the colony, who were quite as much interested in the success of the railway as the company. He concluded by moving the adop tion of the report. Mr L. BROWNE seconded the motion, and ex. plained that the failure of the sleepers arose from their not being creosoted. They had been compelled to use uncreosoted sleepers by the Government refer ree, and this sad fact now entailed on them a cost of £BOO a month out of revenue, and this would continue until about half the sleepers on the line were renewed; The company had insisted on having the other half of the sleepers creosoted be fore they were sent out from this country. The traffic had fallen off in consequence of the great depression of trade in the colony, and the removalof the Parliament from Cape Tow❑ to Graham's Town. He then explained that the nature of the Colonial guarantee Wa3 a rate in aid of £30,000 a-year, in addition to profits. A capital of £70,000 had been paid as interest to the shareholders during con- struetion. Oat of the £30,000 rate in aid, they had first to deduct the loss on the working of the lice, next the interest on debentures and cost of manage. went, and the rest was available for dividend. The sum at present available was within £Bl of 4 per cent. per annum for the half-year. The report was then unanimously adopted, and an amendment was carried increasing the dividend from the rate of 3 per cont. to 4 per cent, per annum for the three months ending the 30th of June last. The retiring directors were re-elected, and also Mr. Alderman Dakin, the retiring auditor. It was stated that the directors and consulting engineer had ogreed to make considerable reduction in the sum allowed them for their services, and the meeting separated. Mr. Alderman Salomons and his Constituents A large number of the electors and non-electors of Deptford assembled last evening at the lecture hall of that town, to receive hem Mr. Saicmons, one of the represeetatives of the borough of Green• tvicb, an account of his pr)ccedings in Parliament during the last session. Mr Dural have been called to the chair, Mr Alderman SALOMONS commenced his address by remarhing that although be was alwa3s ell pleased to meet his coostituee's and to explain to them his conduct as their representative, yet the present occasion was the more interesting, es there could be little doubt but that it would be the last upon which he should have to address them before submitting his views to a more extended meeting as a candidate for re-election. The past Session had been a very quiet session, during which the Legis lature had been chiefly occupied in improving the laws. Measures had been introduced relating to almost every subject of social interest. A measure prescribing a stricter mode of treatment for crimi nals had been passed after much discussion. The proposition of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to establish a system of life assurance in connection with the Government had given rise to much con troversy, but ultimately, the general opinion being favourable to the scheme, it had been adopted. A new system of managing the public roads had been introduced, and a measure for the more effectual relief of casual poor by spreading the cost over the entire metropolis had been passed. All these mea sures were of a moderate and unpretending charac• ter, but it was well that the people should under stand that Parliament could not always be dealing with sensational schemes. The point had been reached that all great evils had been redressed, and it now became the duty of Parliament to observe the changes which occurred in the condition of the country, and to make such alterations in our laws as the progressive spirit of the age proved to be required. During the last Session there had been one great party fight upon the Danish question. lie should not enter into the merits of that question, for it would be difficult to say whe ther the Danes or the Germans were in the right, but probably they were both wrong. In that party fight the Government waa successful by a majority of 18. That was an important victory for the Mini stry, but it was also important to the country, as it mnst be understood as expressing the opinion of Par liament in favour of peace and non-intervention. (Hear, hear.) The result of that debate had, he believed, exercised a quieting influence throughout Europe, and he hoped that when Parliament met next session it would be found that fewer despatches had been written, fewer blue books would be printed, and fewer discussions upon them would be needed, so that more attention could be given to questions of greater importance to the country. There would be ample business for Parliament to deal with in the next session. In the first place there was a great outcry in the Australian colonies against receiving our convicts. It was true that Western Australia wished to have a supply of convict labour, but the neighbouring colonies objected that the criminals sometimea found their way to them. The objection ought to be treated with respect, especially as it was strengthened by an opinion on the part of the colony that the existence of a convict population among them or near them had a tendency to prevent many respectable and valuable emigrants from settling there. The colonies had remonstrated, but having done so unsuccessfully they now threatened stronger measures. lie hoped and believed, how ever, that the difficulty would be got ever by our not insisting upon sending convicts to Australia agaierft the wishes of the greater number of the colonies in that country. (Rear, bear.) Another great question in connexion with our colonies would have to be considered by Parliament in the next session. Canada, New Brunswick, and cur other colonies in Narth America were now considering the propriety of uniting in one confederation, and' the relations of sue k a confederacy with the mother country was a question of the deepest importance. The subject was the more grave because it was cone netted with the unhappy conflict now raging be. tween the two sections of what were until lately the United States of North America. How long that contest would continue no one could tell, how it would end no man could know ; but whether tbt. North succeeded in absorbing the South by depopu lating there fertile countries, or whether the two pasties should come to any kina of agreemeit, fact was patent, and it was ono upon _whiel l Englishman should reflect —that for - The ttnit tieea in history we should find across the Atlantic a great naval and military power, and it wrs impossible to say what might be the effect of those altered circum s t ances upon our establishments and oar future career. The hon, member concluded by claiming credit for the House of Commons in the last Session of having effected a redaction of tatation to the cx' tent of £3,278,000, making with previous reduc tions during the existence of the present Parliament a total of ten millions. In answer to questions, the hon. member said he was anxious to see more free bridges anj wider roads in this metropolis, and he took the opporte. nity of stating that the Common Council had that day agreed to open Southwark-bridge toil free for six or twelve months. With respect to Mr Law son's Permissive Bill, he was not aware that he had voted against it; but, as it appeared that he had done EO, his reason was that a great improvement had taken place in the habits of the richer classes, and be had no doubt that, with improved education, the working classes would follow the example, and thus put down drunkenness without the necessity for any coercive measure. (Hear, hear.) A resolution approving the statement of the hon. member and expressive of continued confidence in him was then proposed and carried unanimously. Another La Pommerais Case. A trial is now going on before the Assize Court of Berne, in Switzerland, which has some points of resemblance to the La Pommerais case, which made so much noise in Paris somo Pannitta Isselee-elisoseese are accused parties is Charles Hermann Demme, Doctor of Medicine, practising at Berne, and the author of several treatises on military surgery. The other, Sophia Elizabeth Trumpi, the widow of Gaspard Trumpi, of Glaris, merchant and banker, also of Berne, is charged with being the accomplice of Dr. Demme in the murder of her husband. It appears that on the night of the 15th of Fe• bruary last Gaspard Trumpi died at his country house at Vabren, in the neighbourhood of Berne. The day following his death rumour got abroad that be died by his own hand, and in consequence of this and of another report, that Trumpi had met with foul play, the Prefect—a functionary named by the Grand Council or the election of the people and Coun cil of State, and whose duties are to inquire into all the crimes and offences that may be brought to his knowledge —opened an inquest, and called upon Doctor Demme, as the family physician of the de cease, for a report of the circumstances relating to Trumpi's death. The report was sent in by Demme who deckred that the circumstances which he had observed in the case showed that the death was not owing to any extraordinary cause, but that Trumpi had died from .an apoplectic stroke. The Pro cureur-General of Berne ordered a post mortem examination by two experts—namely, Dr. Cherie. Emmert, professor of legal medicine, and Dr. Kupper, both of Berne. The experts were unable to find any outward signs of a violent death. As the head of the deceased had been previously opened by Demme, it Was not possible to detect marks of violence on that part ; the experts accord ingly proceeded to search for traces of poison in the organs that remained intact. The intestines were removed and put into vessels which were sealed, and handed over to two chemists, MM. Fluchiger and Schwalback. The result of their experiments was the discovery of the presence of over ten grains of strychnine, a quantity more than sufficient to cause death, and the physicians who made the post mortem examination concluded in their report that the death of Trumpi was the result of that poison. The Pre.. feet transmitted the report to the College of Health, or Medical Commission, whose duty is to exemine the reports of experts, and who in criminal cases like the present have superior jurisdiction, and re. paired them to see whether from all the circum stances death had been occasioned by others, or was the act of the deceased himself. Th© College of Health, before coming to a decision, transmitted in turn the report to the`experts employed by the Pre fect for their opinion. The experts !ejected tho notion of accidental death; neither wculd thy admit the supposition of self under, end they JP clan d that there was every probability of a crime baring been committed by others. As it was ascer tained Doctor D.mene had been alone in the heuee f the deceased the night he died, end moreover that a criminal intimacy had existed between him "and Methane Trumpi, the au!horitiessconsidcrcel themselves justified in issuing their warrants for the apprehension of both parties. In consequence of the suspicion that the poison may have been adminisa rered during the operation for an abscess two days before death, the body was disinterred, and the abscess and other parts extracted and submitted to chemical experiments. The experts found in them no trace of poison. The medical questions were again discussed before the College of Health, who came to the conclusion that the poisoning was not rccidental, that there were, however, some grounds for believing in suicide, and that as to whether death was the result of a crime committed by others, they declined giving an opinion, it not being within their competence, but that of the judicial authorities. It was finally resolved, on the sth of last month, that the case should be sent before the Assize Court, and left to the jury to pronounce on the guilt or inn°. cenco of the parties. The attention of the Court was particularly di rected to certain points set forth in the bill of in's dictment by the Procureur. Demme had been the family physician of the deceased. He was on the nights of the 14th, 15th, and 16th by the bedside of the sick man, who was suffering frem a tumour in the groic. Demme opened the tumour on the 14th, and he remained alone with Trumpi up to the moment of his death. The causes assigned by Demme for the death were not the same in the re. port he sent iu to the Prefect of Berne as in that which he drew up for the Procureur. In the one apoplexy was stated to be the cause ; in the other he attributed it to strychnine ; and besides this serious discrepancy he suggested certain causes which neither the experts nor the College of Health could accept. Several allegations on the part of the accused, bearing upon the essential points of the affair, were equally inadmissible. Moreover, his manner of acting as physician during the illness of Trumpi laid him open to the gravest suspicions. Madame Trnmpi confessed that improper intimacy had subsisted between her and Demme both before and after the death of her husband ; that Demme had many times urged her to leave her husband and accompany him to some foreign country ; that she and her husband had lived on very bad terms ; and that on one occasion Trumpi had thrown a lamp at her which occasioned the loss of an eye. fa the preliminary examination she made certain. statements which she afterwards retracted. In her depositions she tried to dissipate the suspicions which rested on Dename. While in prison her manner was that of a person whose conscience was ill at ease, and she attempted more than once to lay violent hands on herself. In addition to these cir cumstances was the fact of the marriage contract between Demme and the daughter of Madame Trumpi, which took place after the death of the father, doubtless with the view of removing from the public mind the suspicions which the intimacy between the accused had raised. Nevertheless the Procureur could not but admit that there were some circumstances in the case in dicating suicide. Several witnesses deposed that they had heard Trumpi declare his conviction that his death was at hand. lie was also known to have uttered menaces of suicide; and the depression to which he was of late subject, in consequence og losses in business which had nearly ruined him, lent probability to this view of the cse. Tb e , cureur also admitted that the indictment he had framed was neither substantial nor precise ; end he quite agreed with the Criminal C ourt that it was expedient to add nothing rnciT, bnt to rest the wl.ole ease on tho document:lly and Oral f yid' nee that would be laid before it. It w St ate cl, besiaes, that the accused had in other respeets borne a good character, and that this was the first time either of them had appeared in a court of justice. The examination of Witnesses was then proceeded with. Demme is about 30 years old, of fair complexion, above the middle height, and of an agreeable and distinguished exterior. Madame Trumpi is fiGnie• what under th e ord i nary h e ight; her features are deheate cat; agreeably rather than handsome, not• withstandin g the loss of her cye by the bre,tal 1:04 feats et ht..t. husband.
