The re su lt o f thi s app li cat i on is reported Witakee been highly satisfactory, as a considerable sum s Peedily collected, which is still held for the pur ttie, of defraying time necessary expenses in connection h e ir' t he proposed actions. The committee, although th e e viog the amount in hand will be sufficient for itacylMrpose, at the same time complain that it would We re b een much larger but for certain rumours which ti ett i ';'eely circulated amo ng th e s h are h olders, par e°'n a llY in the neighbou r ho o d o f N ott i ngham and s e l ves , to the eff ec t th at t h e li qu i dators them intended to c arr y on ac ti on aga i nst Messrs. th e rn eY, Barclay, and the rest of the directors, at th e 1.

The is J ul had hoped to get the first case disposed of as last, but found that utterly impossible ; and, oh ta . e long vacation is now on, no decision can be th ea i ned before November next.

Account, Oct. 6 JUSTICE AT LANCASTER.—On Saturday a young man, named Liver, was brought before the county justices at Lancaster, charged with entering a field to gather mushrooms, and doing damage to the amount of a penny. A witness was called to prove that the lad was in a certain field, picking up mushrooms, twenty yards from the field gate. The accused denied that he had been in prose cutor's field, and called a witness, who swore that he had not been farther than two or three yards from the gate. The magistrates, however, sen tenced the lad to fourteen days' imprisonment in Lancaster Castle. A fortnight ago a farmer was brought before the same bench, charged with as saulting a boy who had been gathering mushrooms in his field. The lad bore traces of the violent treatment he had received—his face was severely bruised, and both his arms swollen with blows from a heavy stick, and it was proved that the poor lad was found in the lane, weak and almost unable to walk from the effects of the assault. The same bench that sent a youth to prison for damaging a field to the amount of one penny tined the farmer one shilling for a violent and—as the chairman de scribed it—unjustifiable assault. After the farmer got his summons for the assault, he took out an other against the lad, charging him with damag ing a fence, and the lad had to pay one shilling and costs, in addition to the severe thrashing he got. BRIGANDS ENTRAPPED.—The Giornale di Roma says :—" Beneath Verdi, a Pontifical town built like an eagle's nest on the summit of a sterile mountain, extends the estate, admirably cultivated, of a Roman noble. The proprietor having been summoned by the brigands to send 4,000 scudi (20,000 f.), to a certain spot, applied for the pro tection of the gendarmery. An arrangement was made that a vice-brigadier, dressed as a peasant, should proceed to the place indicated, provided with a revolver and 400 scudi, and followed at a distance by a patrol of his men. On his arrival he found the chief and lieutenant of the band. My master can only send you,' he said, 'this sum at present. Money is not easy to find. In a few days you shall have the rest. In the meantime, for my discharge, count what there is.' 'While the two robbers were stooping down to comply with the request, the other drew out his pistol and shot them both dead. Their companions, who were posted in a neighbouring thicket, seeing them fall, rushed out to take revenge, but the gendarmes also hastened up, and after a short resistance put to flight the malefactors, who left three wounded and two dead on the ground. The non-commis sioned officer was mentioned in the order of the day, made a brigadier, and decorated by the Pops with the Grand Med d." ORGAN PLAYING BY ELECTRICITY. - Organ players are perhaps the very last class of persons who have expected to have their enjoyments doubled through the agency of electricity. Until now the one great drawback to the pleasure of organ playing has been the necessity of sitting close to the organ itself, a position most unfavour able for the hearing of the sounds given forth by the multitude of pipes immediately in front and above the head of the player. Not only are the endless delicacies of the quality of the various stops in the instrument thus obscured, but that magni ficent roll and volume of tone in which the organ is unrivalled is scarcely to be felt. in the few cathe drals where the pipes have been placed in the tri forium of the choir, while the player sits below in the stalls, the evil is but slightly remedied, the sounds being still completely above the musician's head ; while on the rare occasions when the keys have been temporarily brought forward to a dis tance of some yards from the organ, the necessary mechanism has seriously interfered with the ac tion of the keyboard. Now, at last, all diffi culties have been overcome, and by the action of a cable of insulated wires the player is enabled to perform upon a keyboard placed at any dis tance from the body of the organ, with as much ease as if he was seated within a foot of the pipes. TILE DOG-STEALING NUISANCE.—At Greenwich, yesterday, Mr. Morison, a solicitor, applied for a commons against Superintendent Griffin. The complainant stated that all the stray unmuzzled dogs which the police caught were fastened up in a yard continuous to his house; and they howled all night so that he and his family could not sleep. There was an officer to look after the dogs, but he shouted at and thrashed them, which made the noise worse. The magistrate declined to grant the summons; and the superinteadout proraieedto do all ialtiapovor to abate the nuisance; LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS.

A TUE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1868, POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. SPORTING INTEL LIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—John Mur phy, a trimmer, residing at No. 3, Carnaby-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with violently assaulting Jane Jones, a young woman who de scribed herself as a dressmaker. After some evidence had been taken, the pri soner was fully committed for trial. SHAMEFUL BRUTALITY.—Joseph Clayton, a car man, of No. 8, Lower Queen-street, Rotherhithe, appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt charged by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for cruelly working a horse while in an unfit state. From the evidence of Inspector Temperley, of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, it appeared that he saw the prisoner driv ing three horses attached to a waggon laden with timber. One of the horses shuddered a good deal, and the prisoner set to severely beating it and also the leading horse with a heavy whip, and a maa who, he believed, had something to do with the prisoner, came up and kicked one of the horses. On examining the horse he had just seen the prisoner beating he found it had a large sore on its throat and another on the withers, and the harness was pressing into both of them. Mr. 'Thomas Ralysh, residing at Walworth, de posed to seeing the prisoner severely lashing his horses. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner's conduct was a mixture of brutality and cowardice, and he would like to know what he would think if a person treated him with similar brutality to that with which he had treated his horse. He should fine the prisoner 20s. or 14 days. SHARE LIST. ,i;DINARY dHAitiCf3 AND BTOCIth ~~at~w:;,yr s.LdLui auu tjxeter .;arnbrian ..... _ornw4ll.

THAMES. A TICKET-OF-LEAVE CONVlCT.—Elizabeth Drum mond, a woman about 25 years of age, who has a ticket of leave which does not expire until October, 1869, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with robbing a seaman, named Henry Hicks, of 10s. The prisoner, who was convicted of a railway robbery with violence five years and a half ago, and was sentenced to seven years' penal servitude, was released six months since with a ticket of leave. She was subsequently brought before Mr. Benson twice on very serious charges of robbery, and on the second occasion she would have been committed for trial if the prosecutor had not, in the course of her week's remand, gone to sea.. A month since she was brought before Mr. Paget, charged by In spector Gee, of the It division, with violating the conditions of her license in getting intoxicated, keeping bad company, and dwelling in a house of bad repute. Inspector Gee also mentioned that the prisoner had been twice charged with robbery since she had received her ticket of leave. Mr. Paget, who was mercifully inclined, thought the charge ought not to be pressed, and did not like to send the woman back to a convict prison for 14 months. His humane sentiments were conveyed to the Commissioners of Police, and had the effect desired. On the second investigation the prisoner was discharged, and Mr. Paget admonished her to lead a good and industrious life, and leave the haunts of vice. She made the most solemn promises of amendment, and Mr. Paget said she was indebted to the Commissioners of Police for their lenity, and he hoped never to see her again. The prisoner has been leading a vicious life since her discharge by Mr. Paget. Yesterday she was in a beershop called the Star hotel, in Dock-street, and the sailor Hicks, who was drinking there, knocked a pint pot on the table to command atten tion, and called for a pot of beer. The prisoner made her appearance, and the sailor, believing her to be a waiteress, repeated the order for a pot of beer, and gave her a half sovereign, with which she immediately absconded. The sailor gave informa tion to the police, and the prisoner was taken into custody an hour afterwards half a mile from the Star, and with 7s. in her possession. She at first denied all knowledge of the sailor, but afterwards admitted she received a half-sovereign from him. She also said she intended to bring back the change. Mr. Benson said the prisoner had committed a very distionpat act, but it did not amount in law to a felony. lie should remand the case till Satur day, when his colleague, Mr. Paget, would preside and give his opinion on the matter. EXTRAORDINARY RECOVERY.—The Constitutionnel publishes a letter from Dr. Guyon, the Academi cian, of which the following is the substance. At the battle of the )Matta, one of the disastrous en counters the French troops had with the Arabs during the early part of the conquest of Algeria, a corporal, named Gaudry, was hit by a bullet which passed clean through the nape of the neck, frac turing a spinous apophsis. Ihe French being in full retreat, Gaudry remained lying on the ground, and an Arab stabbed him twice with his yataghan. Strange to say, the first time the weapon went straight through the wound inflicted by the bullet, it could not have done so more accurately had it been intended ; the second stroke cut the ex tensor muscles of the right side of the head in two, almost laying bare the carotid artery. Gaudry, notwithstanding these fearful wounds, came to himself again after the Arabs were gone. A mule, belonging to the French army, just then happened to pass close by. Notwithstanding his loss of blood, the corporal, who was of a herculean stature, hoisted himself on the animal's back, and was then taken back to the French lines, holding up his head all the way with one hand, or both when he could I His comrades were so astonished at his condition that they called hiin St. Denis ; indeed he himself said that he felt as if his head were rolling off his body. Gaudry was laid on a bed, and his head kept extended as much as possible the borders of the gash being repeatedly brought together as much as possible. With much care and nursing the corporal at length recovered ; but there remained a groove on his neck sufficient to admit a finger laid on it horizontally ; the vertebra had nothing but the skin over them. The scar of the second gash was deep likewise, and adhered to the carotid. His head leaned forward, and it was with difficulty he could raise it a little ; otherwise his general health was good. He would have been well satisfied with the Cross of the Legion of Honour, but unfortunately he belonged to an African battalion, and those corps seldom obtain such favours. The Berlin letter in the North Eastern Corres pondence says that there are both a peace party and a war party now in Prussia. To the former belong the King and the Conservatives ; it is from them that have proceeded the late overtures for a rapprochement with Austria, with the object of isolating France, in the hope that she will not make war if she finds herself without allies. The war party, says the letter, consists of the " national Liberals," and Count Bismarck. The Count be lieves war to be inevitable, and even necessary to Prussian interests. He holds that it is by means of a war only that the rule of Prussia can be ex tended to South Germany ; that Austria is rapidly recovering her strength, and that Prussia cannot afford to wait until her old adversary is strong enough to attack her as the ally of France. Austria, he says, is no doubt interested in preserv ing peace for the present, so as to be able to in terfere with the more effect at a decisive moment ; but when that moment arrives she will certainly not take the side of Prussia. He is therefore of opinion that there would be no advantage in at tempting to avoid a war if France endeavoured to provoke it. LIFEBOAT SERVICE.—CAHORE,IRELAND, Sept. 13. —The coal la-len schooner Vivid, of Wexford, at anchor off this place, exhibited a signal of distress this morning (says Captain D'Olier George). The lifeboat of the Na tional Lifeboat Institution on this station was promptly launched through a heavy sea and rescued the crew of 5 men. The vessel subsequently parted her chain and came ashore. THE EQUESTRIAN STATUE IN CAVENDISH-SQUARE. —The statue in the centre of Cavendish-square, repre senting William, Duke of Cumberland, the hero of Cullo den, being in a rapid state of decay, was yesterday taken down to be modelled and cast. The inscription is re markable:—" William. Duke of Cumberland. Born April 15, 1721, died October 31, 1765. This equestrian statue was erected by Lieutenant-General William Strode, in gratitude for his privatefriendship, in honour to his public irtue. &ivabor 19: 8;1110 Don~iai 1770.

The tendency of the trade continues rather favourable, although without any appreciable change. There was a moderate supply of English wheat at Mark-lane, which was held for fully Monday's ratos, and taken off quietly. Foreign wheat was also quite as dear, with a moderate demand. Floating cargoes are inactive, there being but a small and indifferent assortment off the coast ; buyers hold off in ex pectation of arrivals, several consignments being now overdue. The flour trade is quiet, without change in prices. Barley meets a slow sale at Monday's rates. Beans and peas unaltered and firm. Oats, of which there is a good supply, find a moderate sale without variation in price. Linseed cake meets a better inquiry, and rates tend against buyers. COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. Sugar—There is still a very quiet market, and the rates paid in some cases tend in favour of buyers. Coffee —This market is not brisk, but there appears to be rather more disposition to buy at yesterday's reduc tion. Tea—The sales are progressing very unevenly, but not at any further reduction in price than the decline of id to ld for common Congou, and 2d to 3d for new teas esta blished yesterday. Rice—There is a moderate inquiry at late rates. Saltpetre continues to meet some demand, and is firm. TALLOW. The market is quiet, at 45s 6d spot ; 43s 3d to 45s 6d last three months ; 45s 9d December ; 46s to 46s 3d spring. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL. Meat.—The supplies have been very much increased, principally of country killed meat, and prices are down quite 4d per stone; beef, 3s 2d to 4s 6d; mutton, 3s 2d to 4s 4d ; veal, 3s 8d to 4s 4d ; pork, 3s 8d to 4s 4d ; lamb, 3s 4d to 4s per stone of 81bs by the carcase. Poultry. :-Supplies moderate, and trade steady at late rates. COTTON MARKET. LIVERPOOL, Sept. 16.—Sales, probably 8,000 bales or more. Market steadier. Better inquiry. The Price of Gold, Tae quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 251.22 X. per £1 sterling; on imnparing these rates with the English Mint price of ~s.loid. per ounce for standard gold, it appe4re that gold is about 240ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 0 days' Eight was on the last date about 1 9i per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United states, According to the last official return giving the statistics of crime in France, it seems that out of a population slightly above 38,000,000 among which there are 48,000 more women than men—of 4,551 criminals convicted of serious offences 3,853 belonged to the male, and only 698 to the female sex. Crimes against the person amounted to 1,777, and those against property to 1,899 ; consequently . crimes against the State, such as smuggling, coin ing, smashing, conspiracy, disturbance of public order, press offences, &c., must have been nearly 900 in number. Of those convicted of crimes against the person 191 were adjudged guilty of murder, 201 of infanticide, 6 of homicide, and 115 of manslaughter. Six of the foregoing murders were committed by criminals under twenty-one years of age. It seems that throughout the whole of France there were 27,000 individuals convicted of crimes and misdemeanours involving imprison ment during the year, and that of these 19,000 were adults and 8,000 under age. Among the juvenile criminals, 600 were orphans without either father or mother, 82 were between nine and ten years of age, 394 between ten and eleven, 1,100 between eleven and thirteen, 2,000 between thirteen and fifteen, and 2,200 between fifteen and seven teen. Between nineteen and twenty-one they were under 500. Her Majesty's ship Forte, 29, screw frigate, 2,354 tons, 400-horse power, Capt. John H. J. Alexander, C. 8., having saluted the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir Baldwin B. Walker, K.C.8., sailed from Sheerness to-day. The vessel will call at Devouport en route to her station in the East Indies.

Frank Fortescuo Cornish, M.A., of Exeter College Oxford, re ceived a similar appointment. DEATH BY STRANGULATION.—On Monday night Mr. Carttar held an inquest respecting the death of Mr. Kreekeler, a saddler, of Greenwich. The deceased, who was a remarkably tall man, was in the habit of B ing down on his bed in the afternoon, and it was supposed that while divesting himself of his clothing the deceased who was known to be affected in the head, had slipped, and his handkerchief, catching in the ironwork of the bed stead, had produced strangulation. The verdict of the jury was that death had resulted from strangulation, but whether' by aecideikt or by saLLie there was 110 aired ovidonoo to prow. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE —This Day.
