rttrb 13tittionf SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. TATTERSALL'S. (THIS EVENING.) Owing to the absence of several of the leading sub scribers, no doubt attracted to the grand gathering at Goodwood to-morrow, the room was very thinly at tended, and not a bet wait laid calling for special men tion. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT ROUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS EVENING.) ROYAL COMMISSION. The Royal assent was given, by commission, to the following public bills ;—Gaming Houses ; Indemnity ; Insurance on Lives ; Abatement of the Income Tax Continuance ; Poor Law Board Continuance ; Union Charges Continuance ; Linen Manufactures, &c. (Ire land) ; Ecclesiastical Courts ; Commons Inclosure (No. 2) ; Dublin Carriages ; New Forest ; Savings' Banks ; Middlesex Industrial Schools. The Royal Assent was given also tb a considerable number of private bills. The Lords Commissioners were, the Lord Chancellor, Earl Granville, and Lord Stanley of Alderley. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE gave notice that on Monday next he would ask what were the intentions of the Government with respeot to the continuance of the Encumbered Estates Court in Ireland. REPLY TO HER MAJESTY'S MESSAGE. The Royal message having been read by the clerk at the table, The Earl of ABERDEEN said he felt quite sure that the house would concur in the desire expressed by her Ma jesty. Whatever:differenceefopinion there might be am ong their lordships on the subject of war, he assumed there would be entire agreement in the necessity of adopting all such measures as were best calculated to carry it to an early and successful termination. (Cheers.) He assumed, likewise, that such a result was mainly:to be produced by the activity and energy of England and France, in concurrence with the other powers. (Hear, hear.) It was likely the present session would not be long delayed, and it was probable contingencies would arise which it might be of the highest importance for the Government to be able to avail themselves of, and turn to account. It was therefore intended, following the precedent on similar occasions, to ask Parliament for a ♦ote of 3,000,000/. sterling—a large sum, undoubtedly, and the disposal of which some might possibly prefer seeing placed in other hands ; but he was unwilling to believe that any such wish would interfere in any de gree with their desire to promote and assist, as far as possible, the efforts of the Government, in con ducting the war to a successful termination. The House would clearly understand that this money was alredy voted, and provided for by Parliament that there was no question of any new burden on the people —no new loan—no new tax —no loan—the Government only wished to be authorised to employ the funds already provided for, but which had hitherto not been appropri ated by Parliament. The noble earl concluded by moving an humble address be presented to her Majesty, expressive of the cheerful concurrence of the house in the measures necessary for making due provision for any additional expenses which might arise in consequence of the war. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH did not object to this vote for the future expenses of the present just necessary and politic war, but urged strongly upon the Government the necessity of the most searching economy in the civil departments of the State, on which the suc cess of the war in no degree depended. The Earl of HARDWICKE was ready to give the Government all the necessary powers for conducting the war, but reminded them of the responsibility which would rest on them if, after raising the expectations of the people to the highest pitch, by sending such enor mous forces to the seat of war, the campaign concluded without any great deed of arms. Earl of FITZWILLIAM considered that this and the other house had been placed in a singular posi tion by the Government. The noble earl (Earl Aber deen) would forgive him for saying that never was a speech made on such an occasion of which it might be truly said that it conveyed scarcely a single idea to Parliament, as to what was the existing state of the war. the noble earl had used the very ominous expression, " with the concurrence of other Powers," which would lead to the supposition that what was now going on in regard to other powers, was involved in some kind of mystery. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE thought that after Parliament had voted money for the war, with un exampled liberality, it was unusual to come forward and ask for an additional sum without giving some informa tion as to the war. [LEFT SPEAKING.] 110 USE OF COMMONS—(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at one o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' Amendments to the bllowin,c; bills were considered and agreed to :—Ambergate, Nottingham, and Eastern Junction Railway (Working arrangements with Great Northern Railway) ; Electric Telegraph Company) No. 2 ; Great Western Railway (Berks and Hants, &c.) ; North Shields Quays and Improvements ; Selkirk and Galashiels Railway ; Stockport, Disley, and Whaley Bridge. The Millbank (North Shields) Estate Bill was con sidered and ordered for a third reading. THIRD READINGS. Tne Merton College Bill, Mitiord's Estate Bill, and Wilkinson's Estate Bill, were read a third time and passed. ADMIRALTY COURT BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. LAND REVENUES OF THE CROWN (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. DUCHY OF CORNWALL OFFICE. On the order of the day for the third reading of this bill, Mr. WISE, as a representative of the people and a tax-payer himself, objected to the passing of this bill, which asked for a sum of 17,0001. to build a new office in Pimlico for the Duchy of Cornwall, while there was ample accommodation for the purpose at Somerset house. Sir W. MOLESWORTH said he should fully explain the necessity for this bill being passed when the house went into committee of supply. Mr. W. WILLIAMS thought the house ought to resist the passing of this bill till they had a full explana tion respecting the reason for erecting such a building, while the Government had Somerset-house, and such a number of other public buildings. Mr. HENLEY objected to the bill beingpassed hastily through the house without hon. members having had time to consider it, as the bill was only distributed to hon. members on Saturday last. The house then divided, when the numbers were— For the amendment. Against it 79 Majority The third reading was accordingly postponed till Thucrsday. HIGHWAYS (PUBLIC HEALTH ACT) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. BRIBERY, &c., BILL. On the order of the day for this bill, as amended, to be considered, Lord J. RUSSELL. move d t h e i nser ti on o f the fol lowing clause .—" And whereas doubts have also arisen as to whether the gi ving of refreshment to voters on the day of nominati on or day of polling be or be not accord ing to law, it is expedient that such doubts should be removed. Be it declared and enacted, that the giving, o n r ati ca en uei o n r g th t.: y b o e f given , poili to any voter on the day of nomi- E l tecon y nt m o e f at s , u about polling, drink,e h or havingenter tainment polled, or bein g of r to efre o s b r i a o m i l :en an t, f or any mo ne y by way refreshment, shall be held or ticket to enable such voter treating, at the and be taken to amount to b case may be, within the meaning o r f y tl7 Mr. FRESHFIELD opposed the clau se, on ground that refreshments might be given to a voter without any corrupt intention. Mr. HENLEY thought this clause, if passed, Wou ld so absurdly t bsur go much further than hon. members a t presseant thought o f; and he believed that by enacti ng law s tringent they should bring their legislatio n t e mpt, instead of putting down bribery or corrupt ot' con . ea treat ing. What they wanted to strike at was the people r who gave suing of money to induce a man to vote or toel:- stain from - voting, not cases where a man got a pint of beer at a private house, or a sixpence to buy it. (Hear.) He therefore thought it better to leave the law as it was at present. After a few words from Mr. SPOONER, The ATTORNEY -GENERAL said the clause passed on Saturday included reasonable travelling expenses refreshments only. But he thought that giving to a man coming a distance to the poll ought not to be con sidered illegal treating. He never intended the present clause to reach such a case as that indicated by the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Henley) ; but he thought the house ought to decide whether refreshments given to a man for voting, and notoriously because he had so voted, or intended to vote, came under the heal of corrupt treat ing. He was himself strongly of opinion that the voter ought to be perfectly free from all obligation to the can didate, even for refreshment, and he wished the house to deride the question one way or the other. Lord R. GROSVENOR spoke in favour of the clause, though he hoped when the bill came to committee the penalties would be made less severe than they were at resent. Mr. G. BANKES opposed the clause on the ground of its excessive stringency. Mr. HILDYARL) wished to know whether, if a can didate, meeting his constituents after the election, or when he goes down to give an account of his steward s ipp to constituency, an d . * -- ...„ 2 -vitgribertB . d.t? any su gave them a dinner, or each dinner, would be illegal or cor /4„;.

(Hear, and laughter.) -;" ' -- ~' '"-- I ', - - r '•rtoy - AL COMMISSION. , gr", PIKKA,N, the Deputy-Usher of th e Bl ack Rod, .., , , here appeared at the bar, and summoned the house to attend at the House of Lords, to hear the Royal assent given by commission to various bills. The Speaker and a number of hon. members immediately left the house for that purpose. On their return, , Mr. HILDYARD resumed by saying he did not mean to deny that in many places most disgraceful scenes occurred at elections ; but he believed, if they could get at the truth of the matter, it would be found that the voters were not to blame, but the publicans, who gave drink to all who asked for it, and charged the candidates ten times as much as was really consumed. He therefore regretted that the house had not adopted a clause which would enable a candidate to distribute to the voters tickets for a moderate amount of refresh ment. Lord J. RUSSELL said if the house considered the question as it now stood they would see that the clause only referred to giving refreshment on the day of the nomination or the day of polling. It did not seem to him that any great inconvenience could arise that for two days once every three years it should not be lawful to give refreshments to voters. (Hear.) He therefore thought the house might safely adopt this clause. Sir F. KELLY thought some little modification of the clause might be effected, which would allow the voter to receive a moderate amount of refreshment at the election, which were strictly incidental to the occa sion. (Hear.) Mr. V. SMITH said the house had decided that they would not legalise any species of refreshment, but his noble friend (Lord J. Russell) said no incon venience could arise by proclaiming a general fast of two days once in three years—(laughter)--but the Attorney-General seemed to take quite a different view of it. Let the decision of the house be positive and well defined one way or the other. (Hear.) After a few words from Mr. KNIGHTLEY, Mr. KNIGHT, and Lord A. VANE, against the clause, it being then a quarter to 4 o'clock, The SPEAKER interrupted the hon. gentlemen, by intimating that the debate must be now adjourned. Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the debate be ad journed till 12 o'clock to-morrow. Agreed to. The sitting was then suspended. The house resumed at 6 o'clock, and was [LEFT SITTING.] THE WAR. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. On Saturday afternoon the town of Deal presented a scene of gaiety and festivity on the occasion of the de parture of the French transport screw steamer Prince with the 3d Regiment of French infantry of the line for the Baltic. The Prince had anchored in the Downs, in consequence of having received some injury. The yard ;vas crowded with thousands of spectators who thronged there to witness the happyunion of England and France. The band performed several celebrated airs, after which Mr. Beaks, the ex-Mayor, came forward and made an appropriate address to the alliance of France and Eng land, concluding with three cheers, in which the specta tors joined, for the Emperor Napoleon, &c. After the last piece, composed in honour of the union of the two countries, had been sung and played with great enthu siasm, " God save the Queen" was repeated, and fol lowed by loud shouts of " Vive Victoria." The band then adjourned to a spacious building in the yard, and partook of an English entertainment. After the repast they paraded the town arm-in-arm with our English sol diers. At 8 p.m. they commenced embarking for the screw steamer Prince, amid loud cheering and waving of hats and handkerchiefs from the crowd assembled along the beach to witness their departure, the band playing " God save the Queen." On Saturday notice was given by the High Marshal of the Court of Admiralty that the undermentioned ships taken breaking the blockade of the Gulf of Finland would be condemned within 20 days by the High Court of Admiralty, as lawful prizes to their captors—namely, the De Vrow Alada, Liver late master, prize to her Ma jesty's steamer Archer; the Steen Bille, P. H. Beck late master, prize to her Majesty's steamer Conflict; and the Annechina Jantina, Simoe J. Oostra, late master, prize to her Majesty's steamer Archer. The following Russian ships taken in British ports sailing under simulated papers, will forthwith be con demned as droits and perquisites to the Admiralty : The Amalie, Alroe late master ; the Baltica, Pygelstrom late master ; and the Aolus, Ludivech Schildwach late master, seized at Leith; and the Ernest, Merk, taken in the port of Hull. The notices required by the Court of Admiralty in re 'pect to the Russian ship Oton, F. Voss late master, , rize to her Maj e sty's st ea m e r Alban, having expired, She, with her cargo, will be sold for the benefit of her saptors. The following officers, taken in the Tiger, will be ex- changed for the Russian prisoners carried to Odessa in the Fury—namely, Lieutenants A. Hamilton and Wills E. Stone ; F. Egington, Master ; Lieut. Ansel!, of the Marines ; the Surgeon, Mr. Domville ; Paymaster Lance ; the Mate, Mr. Wilkinson ; Second-Master Sol flat ; and Midshipmen J. E. Scudamore, T. Sullivan, Wood, Kent, Beatson, Hammond, Rowden, Nind, and Robinson ; and warrant officers Quin, Delaney, and Beckford. The Waterloo, 120 guns, flag-ship, Captain Lord Frederick Kerr. The officers and crews of vessels de tained under charges of having broken or attempted to break the blockade, continue to arrive at Sheerness ; on Friday evening last eleven officers and seamen were sent to the Waterloo to await further instructions. On Saturday morning last Captain Beck, late in command of the Danish schooner Sterne Bile, was sent up in charge to be examined in regard to the seizure of his schooner. They are all to be shifted over to the Devon shire to-day, and she is to be berthed at No. 7 mooring on the west shore, being at all times under the notice of the guard-ship in ordinar, and flag-ship. The screw steamship - Exmouth, 91, having received her boilers and machinery, left the floating basin at Key ham on Thursday, and•was taken in the middle of the day, in the presence of Rear-Admiral Stopford, Mr. W. Edye, and other officials, into the new basin dock, so long under construction in the Devonport Dockyard. The Exmouth is to be fitted by the riggers of the yard. On her being taken into the dock, three hearty cheers were given by the artisans—it being the first ship placed in the new dock. The Hornet, 17, Captain Campbell, sailed for Yar mouth on Saturday going eastward. ; she is intended to reinforce the White Sea squadron. The Vulture, 6 guns, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, Capt. F. H. H. Glasse, on Saturday last took in more than 30 tons of shot and a large number of live shell, in addi tion to which she takes the new projectile gun with a bountiful supply of shells for it. She is so deeply laden with ammunition, &c., that she draws 18 inches water beyond fier usual marks. Her mails were made up on Saturday at the Post-office, Sheerness, and she only awaits her orders from the Admiralty to leave direct for the Baltic. Her crew were paid wages on Saturday. Mr. Henry William Grose assistant-engineer of the third c l ass , h as ta k en up his commission and joined this ship, vice Mr. D. H. Bennett, on sick leave of absence. The United States sloop of war Preble, 18, Commander Thomas T. Craven, from Norfolk, and last from Ply mouth, arrived at Spithead on Saturday morning, and saluted the national flag, the Port-Admiral, and the United States Consul, Mr. Pappalardo, by whom the commander has been introduced to the naval and mili authorities to pay his respects. The Preble has 36 naval cadets on board, who will be practically instructed in all the duties of seamanship on the voyage, and will sail from Spithead to-morrow for Cherbourg and Brest, and thence to the United States. The Industry screw steam store-ship, Master-Corn mender Bradley, arrived in Plymouth-sound on Friday evening with her coal bunkers on fire. On her passage from Woolwich she narrowly escaped the fate of the unfortunate Jasper, and, but for the fine weather and the presence of mind of her commander, would most likely have been destroyed. When off Margate smoke was observed rising from the top of the boilers, and holes for the admission of water were immediately cut in the deck each side of the funnel, and the engine set to work. This had the effect of suppressing the fire, but, whenever extra power was neces sary, it recommenced. The Industry is iron -built, of 640 tons, and was originally intended to carry coal, for which purpose she has a large hold forward. Her two oscillating engines, by Bolton and Watt, are of 40-horse power each, and capable of obtaining 42 revolutions per minute at full speed. They do not appear suitable to the requirements of the ship. The stoke room is at all times exceedingly close, the thermometer having been, it is said, from 118 to 120 on the trial trip off Queen hithe. The midship plate of the coal bunker, instead of being five or six feet, is only two feet from the funnel, and the deck is much too close to the boilers. When ever there was occasion to force the necessary pressure in the engine-room something took fire, and through this the leggings or linings of the boilers were consumed and the coal in the bunkers was ignited. On Saturday afternoon, after being surveyed, she left Plymouth sound for the dockyard, where she was inspected by Admiral S uper i n tendent Stopford, Mr. Turner, and other officers, when fife was again discovered in the engine-room, to which the dockyard hose was immedi sbpalicahete,osi:nitte:eforoonnnsettitht:iensnmeevaoes aztely conveyed.

Baker, iwnerwehich em. ployed placing deals for roofing the new shop in cours e o f erection, was discovered to be on fire. The engines from Keyham - yard, and two from the magazine, under O) direction of Mr. Streeter, the foreman of the works, were speedily brought to the spot, and in full play. Every assistance was rendered by the workmen, who exerted themselves in the most praisworthy manner to arrest the flames, but without success, until the shed and its contents, including a very large number of valu able deals, were entirely destroyed. But for the exer tion of all present, the loss, however, would have been much more serious, as at either end of the shed was a stack of deal with which the fire communicated, but which, through the persevering efforts of the men, were mostly saved. The . shed was situated in the vicinity of the offices and residence of the time-keeper, storehouse, and stables, and had the fire occurred a few hours later, when ready assistance would not have been available, these would undoubtedly all have been de stroyed, and possibly the magazine in the immediate vicinity might have shared the same fate. However, everything was favourable ; there was little wind up, the supply of water was good, and in about an hour the fire was completely subdued, with a loss, we understand, of property to the value of about 3001. The origin of the fire is not known. The Calcutta, 84, Captain Stopford, was towed into the Sound yesterday afternoon by the Pike and Confi ance steam-tugs. The flag of Rear-Admiral Stopford, superintendent of the Victualling yard, was struck on board the Calcutta, on Friday evening at su n s e t, a n d re-hoisted on board, pro tem., the Plymouth pay yacht. Lieutenant Holmes took up his appointment on board the Meander, 40, frigate, yesterday, vice Leigh, sen tenced by court-martial to be dismissed the service. The Sea Nymph and the Industry, hired steam trans ports, arrived here on Friday evening, to take provi sions to the East. The Avon, steamer, Veitch, master, arrived yesterday morning from the eastward, and sailed again in the evening for Falmouth, to enter men for the navy. The Andromache sailed yesterday morning for Pem broke, where she will be used as a powder magazine. Mr. Brown, assistant master attendant, and a party of riggers, navigates her to that port. She was towed out of harbour by the Confiance and Pike steam-tugs. His Netherlands Majesty's brig of war sailed again this morning for a cruise, for the exercise of her crew. She is an instruction brig. Still's irr HAMOAZE.—lmpregnable, 104, flag-ship ; Calcutta, 84 ; Mannder, 44 ; Indefatigable, 50 ; Sylph and Confiance, Hamoaze, Tortoise, Camel, and Aid, lighters.

Mr. Melvin, leading man, lent some time ago from the factory at Woolwich Dockyard to the new factory at Kevham, is appointed permanently to the latter establishment. WOOLWICH, JULY 22. Mr. John Trickett, chief engineer of the factory at Keyham, has been ordered to proceed to Manchester to purchase tools for the new factory connected with De vonport Dockyard. Mr. Hughes, assistant to the chief engineer at Somer set House, left London on Saturday evening for Paris, to examine some new machinery. The Jason, screw steam-ship, is daily expected at Woolwich, to embark field-batteries of the Royal Ar tillery for service in the East. MILITARY. At 6 o'clock on Friday morning two detachments of the 63d Regiment, consisting of 1,000 men, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Swyny, marched from the military barracks to Merchant's-quay, Cork, accom panied by the band of the 91st Regiment, and a large number of soldiers from other corps. Three of the river steamers, the Prince Arthur, the Prince, and Royal Alice, were then moored to the quay, and in a short period the whole of the men were placed on board. Both bands then struck up " Auld Lang Syne," and the boats moved from the quay amid the hearty cheering of the assembled multitude. On their arrival at Queens town the troops embarked on board the Avon, trans port, which is to convey them direct to Varna. Second Captain J. M. F. Brown, Royal Engineers, at present stationed at Kilkenny, is ordered to join at Chatham. A general order has been issued that in each com pany, of every regiment, from 10 to 12 of the privates shall be instructed :in the manufacture of cartridges. On Saturday the sentences of the garrison court-mar tial held on Friday at Sheerness, and confirmed by Col. V. P. England, P.A., Commandant, were promulgated. William Smith, gunner, for desertion, and Geo. Oswell, private, for striking a gunner (not a sergeant) when off duty, were each sentenced to 56 days' confinement at Fort Pitt, under the military discipline of that depart. ment. THE HIMALAYA. LIVERPOOL, July 22.—The Himalaya arrived in the Mersey yesterday evening from Kingstown, havingon board two detachments of Scots Greys, with 158 horses, 64 of which were remounts for cavalry in Turkey, and the following officers : —Major Sullivan, Captains Wil liams and Freeman, Lieutenant Buchanan, Cornet Pren dergast, and 70 non-commissioned officers. The Himalaya left Kingstown at 5 a.m. yesterday, and steamed to the Bell Buoy in nine hours, making on the average, by fair steaming, 134- knots, or 15 statute miles, per hour. She was obliged to remain outside for water, which prevented her from making her appearance in the river till about 7.30 pm. yesterday. It was intended to take her into the Welliugton Dock basin to-morrow—an arrangement however, which the low state of the tides will preclude. She will therefore remain in the river until an early hour on Tuesday morning, when she will be laid alongside the floating landing stage, at George's pier, where the main body of the Scots Greys will embark. The bulk of this fine regiment still remains at Manchester. They will leave that city on Monday, and proceeds as far as Proscot, where they will probably billet for the night, renewing the march hither at an early hour on Tuesday morning. After embarking the whole of the troops and horses the Himalaya will immediately take her de parture for Varna, which she is expected to reach in about 12 days. MILITIA. The Hampshire Militia is to be embodied. It is un derstood that the Marquis of Westminster, in conse quence of ill health, intends to resign the command of this regiment. The - Bedford Militia muster for permanent duty on Tuesday, August 1 ; they go into garrison at Ports mouth. On Wednesday the men of the East Suffolk Artillery Regiment of Militia, having completed their 56 days' training, were dismissed to their homes. They were re viewed by Colonel England, of the Royal Artillery, on the two previous days. The gallant colonel expressed his admiration at the men as a body of militia, and con gratulated the Colonel-Commandant, Col. Adair, and his officers, upon the efficient training of the men, and also paid a compliment to the men themselves for their good behaviour while enrolled, and for the martial efficiency they had displayed. COURT-MARTIAL AT WINDSOR. SECOND DAY. On Saturday the court re-assembled at eleven o'clock. The cross-examination of Lieutenant Perry was re sumed, when he stated that he might have struck the prisoner more than nine times in the affray. He did not know (the candlesticks which were placed on the table were both broken, and one was battered and smeared with blood) that he had not been engaged in play for money since he had been in the regiment more than twice or so. Had not been engaged in gambling trans actions in Cork. Had merely played at billiards for small points with a friend, a civilian. Considered playing merely for 6d. was not gambling In his cross-examination by the Court witness said that the affray took place at the Sheet-street Barracks, Windsor, on the night of the 28th of June. That he did not go into Lieutenant Greer's room on his own accord. He went at the invitation of the prisoner to drink sherry with his woman. That the prisoner first proposed play whilst he was there. That he won of the prisoner a large sum of money, when he became excited. That at billiards prisoner won of witness 6s. ; but at ;prisoner's request to play double or quits witness won 51. Th• large sum of money was afterwards won of the prisoner in his own room. Witness had not been to prisoner's loom more than three times in his life, and was only on this occasion engaged in play with him. He went into the room without the most remote idea of playing ; the game played when he won the large sum of money was with a small roulette box. He considered prisoner was not drunk or sober. He had seen him on duty in a worse state. Esther Major, the dressmaker, deposed to the follow ing effect—She was in Lieutenant Greer's room between twelve and one on the night in question. Mr. Perry came into the room whilst she was there. Heard Mr. Greer ask Mr. Perry to get a pack of cards. Mr. Perry went out of the room, and shortly afterwards returned, say ing he could not get any. Mr. Greer then took a sma ll roulette box from the dressing-table and asked Mr. Perry to play, who said he did not understand the game, w h en Mr. Greer said, " It's easy enough," and they began playing. Mr. Perry won first, and then Mr. Greer got quits within 51. Mr. Perry then left, but was fetched back by Mr. Greer. They played again, and Mr. Greer was the loser. During the time he was losing, he called Mr. Perry names, and used bad language. Shortly afterwards Mr. Perry left the room again. Mr. Geeer followed. Afterwards heard them laughing and talking in Mr. Perry's room, and then heard them talking in anger. Heard a scuffle, and ran upstairs and saw Mr. Greer leaning against the waststand, and his face stream. ing with blood. She said, " Pray don't." Mr. Greer groaned, and she ran away. On her cross-examination by Colonel Garrett, the prosecutor, witness, in answer to a question, whether the language of Lieut. Greer to Lieut. Perry was of a provoking, insulting, and disgusting nature, said that Mr. Greer called Mr. Perry "A fool, &c," and when he was in Mr. Perry's room, she heard him call Mr. Perry, before the scuffle, by a horrid name. On the prisoner being called upon for his defence, he called Assistant-Surgeon Dempster, who deposed to finding the prisoner leaning against the dressing-table in Lieut. Perr ) ' s room, his face and head almost covered with blood. There were nine wounds on the scalp, and a slight wound over one of the eyes ; there was a contused and lacerated wound near the temple, and another also of a serious nature. The others he considered trivial. It was impossible to say with what degree of force the wound near the temple was given. wasT his concludedo ts e u n r g o , eo c i n o c ' s k e t v h i i d s e n d c a e y , , a yr nd he t n h t e h C e Court soner will conclude his defence. RAILWAY INTELLIGENC E. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN. A special general meeting of the proprietors of this railway was held on Saturday morning in the Assembly rooms, York-road, Lambeth, to consider the Salisbury and Yeovil Railway Bill. The attendance of share holders was pretty numerous. Mr. Chaplin, the chair man of the company, was in the chair. The SECRETARY read a report, narrating the circum stances attending the progress of the Salisbury and Yeo vil Railway Bill through the House of Commons, and the proceedings taken in regard to it by the directors of this company, and containing the following statement as to the agreement proposed to be made between the two companies : "The arrangement, which it is proposed that this company shall make with the new company, on their obtaining their act without the objectionable running powers against which the company petitioned, is to make them an allowance in respect of all traffic brought by their line on to the South-Western line at Salis bury, provided such traffic be brought from a point on the Salisbury and Yeovil line, distant ten miles at least beyond, or west of Salisbury, and, also, that such traffic be conveyed the whole distance over the com pany's line to London, or within ten miles of London. It is proposed that such allowance shall be 25 per cent. on the gross receipts by this company from such traffic, not in any year to exceed 5,0001. And that it shall cease altogether on the new company's gross traffic, on their own line, reaching 40,0001. during the time it is a single line ; or 45,000/. if the new line be made a double line ; and the term of such arrangement is limited to ten years, in conformity with the provisions of the act." The SOLICITOR read the clauses of the Salisbury and Yeovil Railway Bill affecting this company. These clauses empowered the Salisbury and Yeovil and Lon don and South-Western Railway Companies to enter into arrangements for various purposes, and to renew such arrangements upon their expiration. The CHAIRMAN was surethat the intelligence of the meet ing would shiny them that the construction of the Salis bury and Yeovil Railway, joining this line at Salisbury, must increase the revenue of this railway, and the result would be attained without any cost to this company. He moved a resolution expressing the approval of the meeting of the Salisbury and Yeovil Railway Bill, sub ject to amendments. He also read, at the request of the meeting, a second resolution, expressing approval of the terms of agreement recommended in the report. A PROPRIETOR seconded the resolution. _ _ _ Mr. SNELL objected that the Salisbury and Yeovil Company was not one of such substance as would war rant this company in entering into close partnership with it. To a great extent that company was a fictitious one, and its shareholders sham shareholders and dummies. In confirmation of this assertion he referred to the report of the committee of the House of Commons, and the evidence adduced before that committee. [These refer ences excited a great deal of opposition, and for a short time much disorder prevailed.] Several persons who had subscribed as shareholders of the Salisbury and Yeovil Company had stated before the committee that they had an agreement with the solicitor of the company that they should not be responsible. The capital of the company was short of what would be required to make the line, and the company would therefore require ex traneous assistance. He doubted whether this line would bring as much traffic upon the Scuth-Western line as was supposed, and at the same time he re minded the meeting that the proposed line would compete with three branches of this railway. That unsupplied districts should be supplied with railway commu nication was very desirable, but it ought not to be done at the cost of existing railways. It was urged that this undertaking was of national importance. If that were so, then go to the national exchequer. This company had led the railway world in opposition to extensions, and if they had remained firm to that prin- ciple, the Government must come forward to provide railways for the unsupplied districts. He concluded by moving an amendment disapproving of the clauses, and instructing the directors to oppose any clauses conferring running powers upon the Salisbury and Yeovil Railway Company. The amendment was seconded by Mr. WOOD. Mr. CASTLEMAINE supported the original resolution, and contended that the solvency or insolvency of the Salisbury and Yeovil Company had nothing to do with the question under discussion, because if that company fell through, the proposed arrangement would fall through too. By that arrangement the income of this company could not suffer, because it was only asked to pay to the Salisbury and Yeovil Railway a certain portion of a cer tain new revenue which that railway was to bring to this. Mr. MORTIMER recalled the attention of the meeting from the proposed agreement to the first resolution ap proving of the clauses. He recommended the meeting to adopt these clauses, and warned them that if they did not do so it was probable that more objectionable clauses would be inserted in the bill. Mr. HERAPATH also supported the clauses and the proposed agreement. Mr. TITE hoped that the meeting would agree to these clauses, which were the price of peace, and recommended Mr. Snell to withdraw his amendment. This company was in bad odour with Parliament. If there was an in clination in Parliament to be harsh towards any com pany, that feeling was entertained towards this one ; and if these clauses were rejected, the bill would be passed ' with clauses most perilous to this company. Before concluding, Mr. Tite referred to a rumour that the Great Western fought its battles in that room—(cheers)—and paid the expense of the contests. In answer to catego rical questions, Mr. Snell contradicted both these insi nuations. Sergeant GASELEE appealed to Mr. Snell not to use proxies which lie had obtained upon a representation that the agreement might be sanctioned by a bare ma jority, now that a provision had been inserted requiring the sanction of three-fifths of the shareholders to such an agrement. It did not signify to the South-Western Company whether or not the Salisbury aad Yeovil were a good company. He was convinced that the company could suffer no injury from these permissive clauses, and warned the meetinc , that if they rejected these clauses, Parliament would ' probably give the Salisbury and Yeovil Railway Company much more objectionable powers. Mr. PUNCHER recommended Mr. Sneli to withdraw his amendment. Mr. SNELL said that he should himself vote against the clauses, but he felt that, under the circumstances, he should not be justified in using the proxies which he had obtained. After communicating with the seconder of his amendment, he consented to withdraw it, and not to oppose the motion. resolution was then put, and a gree d t o w then moved The CsAi one E dissentient. The senthtiee moved the second resol u ti on , with h he o nly original approving of the agreement set forth in the report. After some rather irregular discussion, is Mr. PUNCHER desired that the agreement should be printed and circulated before the shareholders were called upon to decide upon its rejection or acceptance. (No, no.) Mr. SNELL, thinking that it was not necessary to con sider the terms of the agreement, which had not been accepted by the Salisbury and Yeovil Railway Company at present, moved the adjournment of the meeting for a fortnight. Th e CHAIRMAN explained that, unless the Salisbury and Yeovil Company had some security for what they were to receive from the company, they would not be satisfied with the clause which the meeting had just approved. Mr. TITE urged the immediate confirmation of the agreement. Sergeant GASELEE recommended the meeting to sanc tion the agreement, as the least onerous which they could make. Mr. LoCKE informed the shareholders that he did not approve of the terms of the agreement. Mr. SNELL withdrew the motion for adjournment. The resolution was put and agreed to. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the proceed ings terminated, having lasted three hours. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST. The report of the directors to be presented at the ensuing half-yearly meeting states that the capital ac count for the half -year ending 30th June, shows that the amount of capital raised to the 30th June, 1854, is 7,439,61 51 ., consisting of mortgage debt, 1,786,3851. ; 037 5961. ; consolidated stock, 4 615 634/. ; total, 7,439,6151. The total amou nt ex pended during the half-year has been 95,1581. of which 65,2421. has been expended on the f ourth line and the Crystal Palace branch, and on the Lo ndon-brid g e t er minus ; 12,515 o n add i t i ona l rolling stock ; and 15,1701. on works rendered necessary to provide for the safety and convenience of the general traffic, which is so rapidly increasing. The act authorising an increase of the capital of the company to ;800,000/. having received the royal assent, a specia l meetin g of the pro prietors was held on th e 21 s t June last, at which resolu tions were passed, empower ing the direotors to raise 252,0001. by the creation of a new 5 per cent. stock, to be offered rateably among the proprietors, and 107,0701. b pondin half-year of 1853, which , acted upon, and th e di rec tors anticipate no difficulty y mortgage. These re solutions have been in raising the amount o f capital which is at present required. The gross re venue for the half - year has been 318,6931 ., s h o wing an increase of 46,7481. over the co rres it may be observed, was g 23,13 61 . in ex cess of the cor responding half -year of 185 2 . Th e increase of the pas senger traffic of the line amounts to 36,2691., a consider able porti on o f which ar i ses from the Crystal Palace traffic, and f rom the grea t development of traffic on the Croydon an d E sour line, caused indirectl y b y the con struction of th e Crystal Palace. The g oods traffic shows p an increase of 10,5881. over the amount for, the corres ponding half-year of 1853. The details of the expenditure for the half-year are fully given in the usual comparison with the preceding and the corresponding half-year, which shows that in the half-year ending the 20th of June, 1853, the total traffic receipts, excluding cartage, were 265,1431. ; the expenses, including 6,696/. for cartage, were 125,3641 . In the ne x t half-year the traffic receipts, including cart age, were 353,9271. ; the expenses, including 8,3281. for cartage, 148,3411. ; and in the last half-year the traffic receipts, also excluding cartage, were 307,366/. ; the ex penses, including cartage, 147,3341. The princip a l causes of increased expenditure arise from the grea t amount o f work done, which has been even in a high er ra ti o than the increase of receipts, most of the a dditi ona l tra ffi c h a ving been carried at low rates ; and, also, from the general rise i n the p ri ce of coals,iron, and all articles which enter largely into the consumption of a ra il w ay company. It only re ma i ns f or t h e di re ctors to congratulate the pro prietors on the genera l p r osperity of the company, and more especially on the very favourable results, which may be considered as already realised, from the policy of aiding the establishment of that great national undertaking, the Crystal Palace, in the vicinity of this company's line of railway. The net amount at the credit of the revenue account for the half-year is 174,1181. ; whereof- is ap propriated for interest on the mortgage debt, &c., 39,7421. ; for dividend on preference capital, 27,907 : total, 67,6491. ; leaving a balance of 106,4691. Out of which the directors recommend a dividend of 21. Os. per cent. for the half-year, amounting to 106,1601., leaving a balance to the credit of the currant half year of 3091. STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON. A special meeting of this company was held at Dar lington, on Friday, Mr. H. P. Smith in the chair, for the purpose of taking steps to raise 200,0001., as au thorised by the company's act of the present session. The CHAIRMAN briefly explained the object of the meeting, and The SECRETARY read a series of resolutions autho rising the creation of 8,000 shares of 251. each, the amount to be payable by instalments of 21. 10s. every half-year up to February, 1859. The shares are to be offered to the present holders of ordinary shares who are to be at liberty to pay in advance of calls, and recive 5 per cent. interest. The instalments called up are to receive equal dividends with the ordinary shares. The resolutions were passed, and the meeting se parated. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—SATURDAY.

HALIFAX MARKET, July 15.—For some kinds of wool a little more money is asked, but generally we cannot quote decidedly higher prices for either yarn or the raw material. [ADVERTISEMENT.] Her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent, for valuable and extraordinary improvements in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race course, Opera, and Perspective Glasses (glazed with Munic German Glass), to know the distances of objects viewed through them—of great importance to the army, navy, and others. Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Observe—opposite the York hotel.—These telescopes pos sess such extraordinary powers that some 3i inches, with an extra eye-piece, IN ill show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars; with the same tele scope can be seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant, and an object from 12 to 14 miles. They are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers accordingly.—The Royal Exhibition, 1851.—Valuable, newly-invented, very small, powerful waistcoat-pocket glass the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known 1i mile distant; they answer every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera-houses, country sce nery, and ships are clearly seen at 5 to 6 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists.
