Russell had a betting-book in his hand, with notices of diffaent rac s. I took it and told him my business, and I had to search the premises. He gave it quietly. Oa the counter was a list of car Is with the names of horses on them; five or six of the others standing looking at it. The others were also looking on. They were all taken into custody, and went (pie ly to the station-house. They were all ad:nittel to bail as soon as it was got. Russell said ho would not give the slightest trouble.

Mr. Knox—Did you see the knife ? Prosecutrix—No, but the doctor said it was a knife. Mr. Knox —And the injuries on your face are the result ? Prosecutrix —They are. A young man came up and secured the prisoner till a constable came. Mr. Knox—Are you living apart from your hus band ? Prosecutrix—Yes, and I have been for three years. Prisoner—Was not your face injured before I saw you ? Prosecutrix —No. Dennis Carney, a young man living in Mon mouth-court, Seven Dials, said —I heard the prose cutrix cry out, "I am stabbed," and saw the blood pouring from her. face. The prisoner, who was then about twenty yards from her, ran away, and I went after him and held him till a constable came. Mr. Knox—Did you see a knife ? Witness—l did not.. A piece of metal was found on the prisoner when he was searched, but the doctor at the hospital said the injuries were done with a small knife. The prisoner said he did not do it.

ASSAULT UPON A PUBLICAN.—James Ryan and Mary Ryan, husband and wife, both Irish, were charged with violently assaulting William Alilsom, landlord of the White Horse, Orchard-street. The prosecutor, whose head was bandaged, stated that yesterday afternoon he went to the prisoner's house fora can which he had lent them. Seeing there a half gallon can belonging to another publican in the neighbourhood he took it away with the inten tion of returning it to its owner. The male pri soner followed him to his house, and afterwards came in front of the bar and abused him, when witness turned him out. The f ema le prisoner then came in, and bei n g ver y a b us i ve , witness threw a glass of water over her, and then ejected her from the house. The female prisoner picked up a stone and threw it at the prosecutor, cutting his head open and almost rendering him insensible ; the male prisoner then closed with him, threw him down, and kicked him. llc believed he would have been murdered if assistance 'had not arrived. The female prisoner was sentenced to fourteen days' hard labour, and the male prisoner to seven days, without the option of paying a fine. Witness—CertainlY not. I want to live as long as I can. My son has no reason to drown him self.

The principal objects of the bill were to extend the time for completing the Kensington and Richmond and the Aldershot Rill ways, to make a c trriage road near Brook wood station to reduce the comp ny's capital with reference to the abandonment of the Ilfracombe Railway, to extend the comp ivy's powers for acquiring land for general purposes, and to confer on the company powers for the improvement and disposal of their saperfluous land, but not .to raise additional capi tal. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN, in moving the approval of the bill, hoped the proprietors would consider it unob jectionable. The motion was seconded and carried unani mously. Another special meeting was then held, at which a report of the directors was submitted. It explained that in consequence of the promotion of the Work ing Union Bill by the South-Eastern and the Brighton Railway Companies, the directors peti tioned against it, which resulted, as regarded the Charing-cross Railway, in the directors making an arrangement with the South-Eastern Company to the effect that the latter would erect a station on the Charing-cross line 7. • NNiterloo, would efficiently work it, charging in respect of the traffic joining or leaving the Charing-cross Railway there the fares of the latter for the time being. The working was to commence as soon as possible. Should any points of difference arise the duke of Richmond was to act as umpire. The directors congratulated the pro prietors on this result, which they did not doubt would operate greatly to the advantage of the com panies and the public. With regard to the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company a general review of existing relations between the two companies ensued upon this company petitioning against the Workicg Union Bill, which terminated satisfactorily, and when the bill came into operation those relations would be obligatory on the compa nies in union in the same manner as they now bound the London, Brighton, and South Coast ,Company. The directors, in conclusion, asked the proprietors to authorize the Board to borrow £53,330 under the Aldershott Railway Act, 1865. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, the report was unanimously adopted, the articles of agreement with the Brighton Company were approve 1, and the directors were authorised to exercise the bor rowing powers to the extent of £53,330 for the Aldershott line. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. GREAT INDIAN PENINSULA. The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held on Friday, at the City Terminus Hotel, Cannon-street; Mr. H. C. E. Childers, in the chair. Mr. T. R. WATT, the managing director, having read the notice convening the meeting, the report, an abstract of which appeared in The Sun ; was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the accounts were presented in an im proved form, being shorter and clearer than usual, tohad added a b a l ance - s h ee t . T he re venue which they ofthe company fo r th e p as t h a lf- year showed an increase of £69,550, as compared with the same half of 1866, the expenditure an increase of £43,890, and the net receipts an increase of £25,660. The balance placed to the credit of in terest account was £128,000, against £102,000 in the same half of 186 . 3. The mileage open for traffic averaged 852 miles during the half-year, against 777 miles in the corresponding half of 1866. The mileage of passenger trains was 556,000 miles against 531,000 miles in the same half of 1866. The total number of p tssengers conveyed (luring the half-year was 1,755,000 against 1,459,000. The cost of coke and coal was 161. per mile against 181 per mile in the preceding year. Their best endeavours would be directed to working the line with economy, and to reducing the cost of fuel. The gross receipts of the year 1865 amounted to £1,175,000, the expenses to 1 £694,000, or 59 r 2 .1 1e gross receipts for the year 1866 amounted to per cent., and the net receipts to £840,000. £1,252,000, the working expenses to £716,000, or 57 per cent., and the net receipts to £536,000. Th e gross receipts for 1867 amounted to £1,486,000, the expenses to £828,000, or 55} per cent., and the net receipts to £658,000. Com paring the total capital expended on both produc tive and unproductive works with the net receipts, the latter would yield a dividend of £3 Bs. per cent. for 1865, of £3 7s. per cent. for 1866, and £4 per cent. for 1867. But on comparing the capi tal expended on productive works only with the net receipts the latter would yield a dividend on it of £6 ls. 9d. per cent. for 1865, of £5 14s. 6d. per cent. for 1866, and of £5 19s. 91 per cent. for 8 tl6b7e c on sidered satisfactory. The but was not quite satisfied ttthey sh owe d with those re sults,,ahnedstpaeterhoafpssoontitegloltf the works on the line had caused considerable anxiety to the directors, and immediately after the last meeting they sent out Mr. Berkley, their con sulting engineer, to I n di a , w ith full instructio ns t o investigate the wh o l e matter w i th a v i ew to prevent such disasters in future as the failure of bridges and viaducts. Her Majesty's Government had met them in a liberal spirit on this subject, and it was agreed that the surplus revenue for the first half of 1867 should be placed to the credit of an account for the restoration. of the defective works, and all expenditure beyond that surplus should be charged to capital. The company's loan powers were £5,000,000, on account of which they proposed immediately to offer £600,000 of 4 per cent. de benture stock to public tender ; the minimum price would be fixed by himself and the Secretary of State for India. They ,mould thus gradually convert the outstanding debentures into a per petual 4 per cent. debenture stock. On accepting the office of chairman he had determined to go out to India as early as political matters would permit, with a view to make himself thoroughly acquainted with the railway and works of the company. (Hear, hear.) Mr. J. G. FRITH seconded the motion for the adoption of the report. Mr. CAMPBELL, Chief Commissioner of the Cen tral Provinces, said he had charge of the, country where the recent failure in the company's works had occurred. In laying out the line there ap peared a desire to make it too economically. The waterway of bridges and culverts was t oo narrow , a mistake no doubt made in good f a ith, b u t no t suitable for a great trunk line. The co m p an y' s officers could to rectify those defects, works. After some observations by Mr. F enn , M r . Spilsbury, Dr. Beattie, and Mr. Hal, the report werean now d doing in the all renewal t hey of was unahnously adopted, the establishment of a provident fund was agreed to, and the retiring directors and auditor were re-elected. The meeting was then made special, and the directors were authorised to create and issue a 4 per cent. debenture stock, as and when required to pay off existing debentures to an extent not exceed ing in the whole £5,000,000, under the sanction of the Secretary of State for India. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. We learn from Naples that the appearance of the c)untry is now magnificent, the crop; exceedingly heavy, and the harvest promises to be a more alma lant one than has been known since 18N. Around Salerno and Pay turn in another fortnight the wheat will be nearly all gathered, and we may shortly look for a great reduction in the prices of all the necessaries of life. Hay -making in that district has already commenced, but with the exception of the ,piatzura tlim littio hay grona in that Bart of italp NG, JUNE 1, 1868. SPORTING NOTES. The general public have good reason to congra tulate themselves on the success of one of the favourites for the Derby, who, thanks to the straight forward and manly conduct of his popular owner, have " landed" an amount of money from the book makers which ought to keep them on the right side for at least twelve mouths to come. Sir Joseph Hawley's proceedings are in marked contrast to the policy adopted by the Marquis of Hastings and his advisers, who on the principle, I suppose, that " every one has a right to do what he likes with his own," thought proper to strike out the Earl the night before the race was run, although the horse had been brought to Epson in magnificent condi tion, and up to the last moment was supported by some of the most influential patrons of the Turf. At pre , ent no other exeu , e has been made on behalf of the M:uquis, who will certainly lose the sym pathy of many of his best friends through such an ill-advised proceeding. The Earl, lam convinced, likes a distance of ground, and would probably have beaten Blue Gown, as he did in the Biennial Stakes at Newmarket, or, at anyrate, run in the first three. As regards the different competitor , , King Alfred's form in obtaining second place and beating Suffolk an immense distance, is another proof of the fallacy of private trials, and ought to convince the veriest Tyro that public form is always the best to depend upon. Orion is evidently more fitted to travel successfully over a short distance of ground, and Paul Jones is more likely to win a han dicap than a weight for age race, where he has first class company to contend against. Rosicrucian and Green Sleeve were by no means as fit as they will be made later in the season, but neither of them, in my opinion, will ever be made better than Blue Gown. I expect to see St. Ronan do Mr. Chaplin good service before the year is out. Racing during the present week takes place at West Drayton, Manchester, and Croydon, and, as the first-named meeting commences to-day—Whit Monday—a lot of the holiday folks are likely to be attracted there. On Tuesday, UNDER THE CLOUD, if he starts, will take a deal of beating for The Handicap Hurdle Race. For the West Drayton Handicap RomNEY and LADY GLENCORA attract my attention most, whilst KING OF SPADES is equally well in for the Village Plate. Manchester also takes place on the same days, and will be held over the new course with Mr. Richard Johnson as Clerk of the Course, and Mr. M.George as Starter. It was quite time that new blood was infused into the management, and there is now every prospect of a speedy restoration of these races to their palmiest days. The De Trafford Cup has thirty-six nominations, of which Knight of the Garter, Corporal, The Clown, Feodor, and Chivalry appear the most trustworthy, and of these I expect the winner will prove to be THE CLOWN ; and if beat I think it will be by Mr. Haughton's representative—FEODOß or CHIVALRY. The Cope land Stakes should be won by WHINYARD. FLYING JIB must represent me for the Philips' Handicap, and OTTOMAN for the Westmoreland Handicap. The Tradesmen's Cup will be run for on Thurs day, and I believe the race will lay between FEODOR and MINSTER BELL, of whom I prefer the first named. in the Beaufort Stakes, although PAULI TINE has incurred 31b penalty for wiuning at Shrews bury, I shall stand her, and next to her my choice is KING OF THE ROVERS. I should think SEAMAN would prove good enough to win the Selling Handi cap. I see nothing to beat KICKSEY WINKSEY for the Donnington Plate, and Muss is favourably weighted for the Enville Nursery Plate. The City . Handicap Plate will be won by Wadlow's represen tative, SALLIET Or PARMA. Friday's events will be considerably influenced by previous running, as many of the same horses are engaged over again. Should CHIVALRY not have incurred a penalty previously I prefer his chance to anything for the Wilton Handicap. He is, how ever, very well in for the Salford Borough Cup, and may be reserved for that, but if THE COLT BY ROMULUS OUT OF ATTACK can gallop a little bit he should have no difficulty in winning. The Trafford Park Stakes will go to UNCAS or EVELINA. THE EARL will win the Grand Prix (on olja if Art), the gift of the Emperor, and 4,000 f. given by the city of Paris and five railway compa nies of France, next Sunday. A FRESHMAN.

Little Coates, 2 yrs, was sold to Mr Villiers for 165 guineas, after winning the Durdans Stakes, at Epsom, on Friday. ASII'S PATENT FILTERING REFRIGERATOR.--A great improvement upon the refrigerator or ice-box hitherto in use has been effected by Mr. Ash, of No. 315, Oxford-street, which must certainly entirely supersedes those already in active service. The groat novelty of the now Filtering Refrigerator is that all kinds of food, includ ing fresh meat, and cheese, can be kept on one side, whilst the wine and champagne occupies the other. It has hitherto been impossible to keep food within the refrigerator on account of the moisture given off, but in the arrangement of Mr Ash this great drawback has been entirely surmounted, and that in the most successful manner, by a very in genious contrivance perfect ventilation is kept up, and thus all fear of one article tainting another tsavoided. Another great• feature is that the refrigerator is in fact a filter, which is a very different thing to a refrigerator with a filter. The dissolved ice by Ash's patent is converted into the most brilliant and delicious water by its being passed through charcoal, an arrangement peculiar to the "Filtering Refrigerator." Another of the inven tions of Mr. Ash, the " Piston Freezing Machine," is a de cided luxury to every house, as by its aid block ice, either clear or flavoured, can be produced with the greatest certainty under any circu:nstances in a few minute:J. Tho cook, therefore, is enabled to defer pre paring her dessert ices until the first portion of the dinner is actually on the table, whilst to those resi dent in hot climates the Piston Machine cannot but be of the greatest importance. The latest novelty, however, is a now arrangement of the coffee-pA by which the coffee itself is rendered really beautiful. After it passes from the "kaffeekanno" it is of exquisite flavour and remark able brilliancy, two very important matters in the prepa ration of coffee; but perhaps its greatest recommendation is that the operation is at once certain and simple. The little machine is to be purchased at the price of the ordinary coffee-pot, and no trouble is entailed by its use, so that Mr. Ash may fairly count upon an enormous demand for the last of his very ingenious contrivances, because the admirable manner in which it performs the work for which it has been made catillOt tali tp calisv it W bo most P49515171c9010111ti0l THANIES. OVERBOARD HE `VENT.—Joseph Walker, a tall and athletic man, well known on shore as a porter, labourer, and touter, was brought before Mr. Ben son, charged with attempting to commit self destruction. Thomas J. Miker, locksman in'the service of the London Dock Company, stated that on Saturday evening, at a quarter past 6 o'clock, he saw the prisoner wfaking along the pier head, Shadwell, and when he got to the edge of the pier he jumped into the lock. A bargem-tu put out his pitcher (a long pole with a hook at the end), and got him out of the water, and hoisted him on board over the rudder. He assisted in getting the prisoner on shore. Mr. Benson—And he was very glal when he reached dry land again, no doubt. Witness—He was, indeed. The prisoner, a strong-lunged-fellow, here said —Please your worship, I never attempted to drown myself. I should not like to die that way. I was drunk on Saturday evening, and went to the dock to ascertain whether my ships were coming in, and my foot slipped and overboard I went. Why it is only six months ago I pulled a man out of the water who made an attempt to drown himself, and it is not likely I should attempt to drown myself. Mr. 132nson—The witness says you jumped in. The Prisoner—No, I slipped in ; overboard I went. Mr. Gee, inspector of the K division, said the prisoner was very drunk indeed. Mr. Beason—That is consistent with his state ment, and that he slipped in. Inspector Gee said that a witness who was out side the court a few minutes ago saw the prisoner deliberately jump into the lock, and when he was pulled out he began swearing at his rescuers. The prisoner deliberately jumped into the lock directly after he left the person he had referred to. A huge fellow, about 45 years of ago, who is called the Man Mountain, here stepped forward, and said the prisoner was his son, and a bad boy. He was tipsy on Saturday evening, and slipped into the water, in fact, overboard he went. Mr. Benson—You never attempted to drown youuelf, I ar4 No ? SPOH.Tii\ G IN TELLIGEN.CE. LATEST WEST-END BETTING. SATURDAY, Midnight. After the excitement and turmoil of the Epsom week a profound calm reigned throughout the day on Saturday amongst racing circles. Usually one of the busiest days of the week at the Victoria Club, there was not the slightest disposition evinced on the part of any of the few members that !poked in to speculate on future events, the subscribers generally being occupied in preparing their accounts in anticipation of the heavy settling to be com menced this afternoon. At night matters were equally dull and spiritless. At an advanced hour the Grand Prix was introduced, and one or two bets laid thereon. sto 4 was at first laid against The Earl, but afterwards even money was accepted about him. The only other backed was Vale Royal, about whoin 100 to 30 was taken. Tara ban, who had elsewhere been ba , _;ked earlier iu the day at 8 to 1 for the Nortlinniborlan l Plat-, was again sop portal at the same price. Closing GRAND PRIX IIE PARIS..

The continuance of fine weather and the steady progress of the wheat crops towards an early and abundant harvest, has increasing effect upon the trade, and prices are declin.. ing perceptibly. From the country markets the reports speak of renewed heaviness, and with even moderate supplies prices are 211 to 3s per qr. lower on the week. At Mark-lane this morning there was a moderate attend ance, and for wheat tho tone was depressed. _ _ _ The arrivals of English wheat ware not heavy, but sales were not to be effected easily at 2s per qr. decline. Of Foreign Wheat supplies were liberal, and it was ex tremely difficult to sell, at 2s to 3s per quarter decline. On the coast there are some 36 cargoes, for which it is difficult to find bidders. Flour in better supply, anu decidedly cheaper to sell. Barley a quiet sale, without much change in price. Beans and peas remain without material change. Oats in steady request, at previous rates. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. With good supplies of stock and dull accounts from the dead meat market, prices this morning suffered general depression. Of beasts there were 34 from Scotland, 2,806 from various parts of England, and 1,380 from the continent, The beef trLdo ruled very heavy at a decline of fully 2d per stone. Of sheep and lambs the supplies include 4,500 from abroad. For mutton the sale was very slow, and to sell lower prices have been taken. Lamb also still on re• duced terms. Of calves 198 arrived from abroad. Tho trade was heavy and sales depressed. Pigs sold slowly at late rates. At mark-t: Beasts, 4,220 ; sheep and lambs, 28,740; calves, 204; pigs, 300.

By skilfully availing themselves of the mutual jealousies and dissensions of the native princes, Clive, Warren Hastings, and the Marquis Welles ley, laid, broad and deep, the foundations of the Anglo-Indian empire ; while their successors, by open war or covert wile, gradually built up the towering and stately edifice, not less the object of envy to Continental nations than of pride to Englishmen. Were mankini moved more by reason than by passion and sentiment the people of India could not do otherwise than rejoice at the change from an un stable, vicarious, and capricious mode of Govern ment, to a system that holds prince and peasant as equal before the law, that affords impartial protec tion to person and property, that maintains peace, and fosters plenty throughout the length and breadth of the land. Men, however, are neither mere machines nor seraphim. They cling to old associations, to the customs of their forefathers, to the prejudices of youth, to ancient tradition— whether religious, political, or social—and, above all, to national independence. It may be true that nationality, as we understand the word, did not exist in the pre-English era—at least it was in applicable to India as a whole, though each frag ment had a nationality of its own. Thus the Mahrattas were, so to speak, a nation ; the Sikhs likewise; the Rajpoots, most decidedly; the Mysoreans, the Bengalees, the people of Oudh, were all distinct nations. It is the British Government that has effaced these dis tinctions, and bestowed a certain homogeneity upon the most heterogeneous agglomeration of peoples on the face of the globe, not even excepting the Austrian empire. This process of fusion will, no doubt, prove ultimately in the highest degree beneficial to the various populations of India, though fraught with the elements of extreme peril to the permanence of British supremacy.—Saint Paull, edited by Anthony Trollope.
