PIPIT OP THE PUBLIC JOITILIIALS, atay not bad government in the matter of Ireland, the Time asks, be reversed by the sizple process of undoing what has been done, and retracing our steps to the point where we went wrong? That, indeed, is the way Mr. Bright puts it ; and he assumes, not that we can make a new Ireland, but that we can unmake the old one. He gives us to understand without any reserve that this unravelling process is to be applied to the land as well as to the Cburch, and that as the British Government formerly placed the land in few and safe hands, so we ought now to interfere with a strong hand to place the soil in numerous hands, and those as much as possible of the old race, going its own ways, holding its own traditions, and carrying out a grand national idea. On no occasion whatever had Mr. Bright so often to deal cautiously, if not ambiguously, with nature inferences as last Tuesday at Limerick. But if undoing the bad may seem to be the proper sequel to the stage of national repentance, and if, after con fession, there should come restitution, we may yet ask what it is we are to undo. Are we to undo the " Planta tions? " Are we to undo the confiscations ? If so, which of them, and how far back ; and where are we to find the ultimate reversionaries in this interminable, this complicated, this multitudinous suit ? Or are we to con tent ourselves with simply undoing the laws under which all the soil of Ireland, whether planted, confiscated, or still in the old families, has come to its present state of holding and possession ? The least that can be asked for is some explanation on these points, affecting, as they do, the soil of this island as well as that of Ireland. But whatever it is that Mr. Bright has in view, it is still only a fresh variety and a new phase of strong and exceptional government for Ireland. The Post observes that few men ever more signally belied /he expectations formed of them than President Johnson. Elected by the voices of the extreme Republican party, he has proved himself a staunch defender of Democratic rights. On his first appearance as Vice-President in the capacity of chairman of the Senate, his demeanour and his language rendered the senators and the public (and neither the one nor the other are particularly squeamish) heartily ashamed of him. It was said that he was intoxicated when he took the chair in the Senate on the day of his inauguration ; and if he was not, it is certainly conceded, even by his friends, that his conduct amply excused any mistake which might have been made by spectators on this score. When, only a month later, the murder of Mr. Lincoln raised him to the office of chief magistrate, many and serious were the apprehen sions which were entertained respeCting his future career. That he would be a violent Republican no one doubted ; that he would be a statesman, or even an ordinary prudent politician, no one believed. Assumption and apprehensions were, however, equally destined to prove unfounded. Whatever Andrew Johnson may have been before his election to the office of Vice• President, or even in the first moments after he entered upon the duties which pertain to it, it must be admitted that when he suddenly found himself the ruler of the Republic he rose to the occasion. Since the eventful morning succeeding the murder of Mr. Lincoln, on which he was ;worn in as President by the Chief Justice,hehas never demeaned himself in a manner which any one, however straitlaced, might have reason to be ashamed of. His policy may not have commanded universal approval, but it has been frank, straightforward, and fearless. He was the first person in high office in the United States who hacl the courage to declare that the offence of rebellion, though great, was not inexpiable, and to maintain that the popu lation of the Southern States were entitled to enjoy the privileges of a free people. The Standard, in an article on the bombastic letter of Mr. Seward, in the matter of Warren and Costello, says If Englishmen or Irishmen choose to abjure their alle• gianca to the English throne, and to invest themselve,t with the character of American citizens, well and goon we shall be but too happy to give them up and regard them henceforth as foreigners ; but they cannot be pert mitted to put on and take off American citizenship as they please; to use it in order to assail England, and then to claim again the rights of English citizenship either for the same purpose or to enjoy in ease the profits they have made by that hostility. The Englishmen and Irishmen who chotss. to abjure their character of British subjects must know that they take a step which is not revocable. Altogether the arrangement of the question which the Government and the Congress of the United States have raised in a not very dignified manner will require considerable care and much time. For the present they may well be satisfied with the assurance of Lord Stanley that the English Government agrees with them in principle, and as Congress is about to adjourn, and holiday time is coming on, to be succeeded by an election in which he has no par. ticular object to serve, we may hope that Mr. Seward will write no more buncombe despatches, and wait for a request of Congress when it reassembles before publishing anything he may write." The Daily News says the arguments for and against the Foreign Cattle Markets Bill lie upon the surface, and if the matter were talked about for weeks no material altera tion would be produced in the opinions of the contending parties. It may suit Lord Robert - Montagu to say that the question does not involve the issue of protection or free•trade. But to anyone who understands the meaning of the words protection and free trade, it is per fectly obvious that the present bill affects the food supply of the community. All the arguments urged in favour of the bill before the House resemble very closely those by which the protection of the home-growers of corn was defended more than twenty years ago. In the main, as Mr. Newdegate bluntly and honestly avowed, the measure was defended as a counter-mine against the policy of free trade. And this being so, as the Govern. ment themselves admitted some weeks ago, it was natural enough that the great majority of the Liberal party, with the exception of some members connected with agricul tural interests, should oppose a measure so retrograde and dangerous. The Telegraph call., attention to the fact that, after some delay, a large amount of negotiation, or what the irreverent would term " higgling," and as air ple disci a sion by raen of opposite views on the select corn ratee, the Electric Telegraphs Bill of the Government has at length made decided progress. The preamble was passed a few days ago, and now the provisional agreement made with the various telegraph companies has been sanctioned on the basis of twenty years' purchase of their net profits. It may be anticipated, perhaps, that the opposi tion made to the terms of purchase by Mr. Goschen and Mr. Sandford prefigures a further hostility in the House of Commons from an economical point of view. The Chan cellor of the Exchequer has brought up the report of the committee, and will take the next stage on Monday evening ; but, considering the large amount of detail still to be arranged, it is hardly to be supposed much more will be done this session. Nevertheless, the Telegraph feels satisfied. The agreements with the companies and the railways, which, thanks to Mr. Scudamore's in defatigable exertions were so promptly settled, are, after all, the main points. With the cessation of hostility from that quarter, little further difficulty is to be dreaded ; the question of compensations is mainly a matter for the arbiter or arbiters who may be chosen, and the recommendation of the select committee will have due weight with Parliament, and all the more since it entirely coincides with the deliberate opinion of the country. The advotes of economy may shew fight over the difference between sixteen and twenty years, but there is no proba bility now of the measure's being wrecked on that point, whether the discussion takes place this session or not. During the year 1865 the daily loss of service occasioned by " contagious diseases" in the royal navy was equal to 468 men. The total number of cases of sickness from this cause amounted in the twelvemonth to 4,313, and of these 130 men were invalided.—Lanett. VIOLATING A GravE.—An extraordinary out rage has been committed at Cardiff. A young woman recently died there, and a report was circulated that a considerable quantity of jewellery was buried with her. On Sunday night the husband and brother of the deceased went to visit her grave, and found a man there removing the coffin. The man made his escape, but the police have s i nce apprehended the gravedigger, who had absconded. MATERNAL AFFECTION.—Governor Merrill, of l owa , has pardoned Catherine /SrArdle,who was sent from Jackson County four years ago to the State Penitentiary for life. She confessed to the murder of her husband, and was sentenced to be hanged, but her sentence was com muted by Governor Stone. It was afterwards found that she was entirely innocent, and that her son was the guilty person. To save him from the gallows she had avowed that she was guilty of the crime. Booxs.—Tlie official gauge of literature is its weight, and viewed by this dull and prosaic test it would *pear that the demand for English books abroad is extending. In 1853 they were exported to the extent of 32,781 cwt.; in 1830 the total had risen to 35,128 cwt.; and in subsequent years they were as follows :-18'1, 30,863 cwt.; 1862, 27,726 cwt.; 1863, 32,892ewt.; 18°4, 34,087 cwt.; 1865, 39,528ewt.; 1866, 48,581ewt.; and 1867, 49,906 cwt. ST. SwiTruN's DAY. —On St. Swithin's Day (Wednesday) great quantities of rain fell between Winch field and Fleetpond, on the South-Western line. There was also much thunder and lightning in the same part. At Hartley Row, in Hants, it rained all the afternoon. A building by the side of Winchester Cathedral, where St. &within lies buried, was struck I y lightning, an , l in some parts of the neighbourhood cf Winchester much rain fell. THE ORANGE DEMONSTRATIONS IN IRELAND. The Orange anniversaries have not in one instance passed off bloodlessly. The riot that occurred at Monaghan , a few nights ago was more serious than was at first an nounced, one man having been killed and several wounded. Both the Belfast News Letter and Northern Whig, the leading Conservative and Liberal journals of Ulster, concur in stating that it was the Roman Catholic party who were the aggressors, and that the Orangemen for bore, until driven to it in self-defence, to use firearms' The Northern Whig gives the following version of the occurrence :—" The state of excitement in which all classes here appear to be this evening renders it difficult to give a correct outline of what led to it. The facts appear to be these :—The Orange Lodges in the country districts around agreed to spend this holiday in the town, and for this purpose, it appears, the members of one or two lodges were about entering the town, having with them two drums and a banner furled up on the flag-staff, and were quietly and peaceably proceeding to their rendezvous in the town, when a mob rushed upon them, and brutally assailed them with stones, brickbats, &c., and wantonly broke one of the drums. The party, not anticipating any opposition, were unprepared for such a meeting, and ' made the best use of their legs to reach a friendly house for shelter. They were followed, yelled at, hooted, and pelted with stones by the mob, which was composed, I re gret to say, of persons who might have been much better employed. The party ultimately reached the house of a shopkeeper named Bcard, when their position became so serious, that being hedged in now by two mobs, the latter attracted from the centre of the town, and several wounded from blows of stones, &c., they took refuge in Beard's, who allowed them to occupy his house. The mob surrounded the house, and called for ' the face of an Orangeman to come out,' &c. This eliciting no response from those inside, who wished the affair to pass off quietly, the mob commenced smashing the windows and front of Beard's house, which so exasperated some of those within that they fired out upon the crowd, who very speedily dis persed, but not without leaving a man named Hughes dangerously wounded behind them, who is now reported dead. The constabulary force of the town, not being much increased beyond the ordinary number, found it difficult to maintain the peace, but they managed admirably. It was deemed advisable, however, by the magistrates, as the more prudent course, to send telegrams for additional force, which was expected late on Tuesday night or early next morning. Some unimportant arrests have been made, but no clue has appeared or satisfactory evidence been offered, so far as reported, as to the persons who fired the shots out of Beard's house. The affair was to be thoroughly investigated by the magistrates at petty sessions gin Wednesday." LORD DENBIGH AND THE SU,ePkYSORT BILL. Lord Denbigh, who is a Roman Catholic and a staunch Conservative, has written a letter to Lord Derby explain ing his reasons for voting in favour of Mr. Gladstone's Suspensory Bill. He says he could not but lament the mode and time of bringing forward the measure, but he could not refuse to accept it when once presented to him. He believes the disestablishment of the Irish Church to be a necessity of policy as well as one of justice, and there fore, when the Government hoisted the flag of "No sur render," he was compelled to support his principles in preference to his party. He goes on to affirm that a Protestant State like England must do one of three things : it may, first, endow all religions within its dominions on equal terms ; or, secondly, leave them all equally unendowed ; thirdly, it may establish that form of religion which is professed by the largest communion in that country. To do otherwise would be unjust, and to establish the communion of the minority is unhesitatingly declared to be " indefensible, tyrannous, and elsewhere unheard of." The Protestant Church in Ireland is viewed by the Catholics "as the ever-present badge of servitude, and the last imprint of the iron heel of the conqueror and oppressor of former days." In answer to the statement that the Irish care more for the land question than they do for that of the Esta blished Church, he asserts that the Protestant ascendancy is at the root of the land question. He believes that the Ministry had a band fide intention of dealing honestly with Irish grievances ; but " they have retreated, one by one, from each position they had occupied ; have attempted to disclaim those sympathies which they really had at heart ; and, frightened at the step they had taken in advance, rushed back in alarm to the arms of their main support—the bishops, clergy, and the ultra-Pro testant public, whom they have endeavoured to pro pitiate by allowing the banner of ' No Popery ' to be once more displayed." Referring to Lord Derby's speech some time since, at Liverpool, in which he stated that the Catholics ought to be the natural allies of the Conserva tives, the noble lord alludes to the fact that Mr. Disraeli has since raised the cry of "No Popery !" How, then, can the Catholics support the Conservative party? After ridiculing the idea that any statesman of the present day would ever conceive the notion of establishing the Protestant Church in Ireland, Lord Denbigh makes some stinging remarks on the present state of affairs. He says : " You have taken your 'leap in the dark.' You have lowered the franchise, by which many more Catholic voters will be brought to the poll than here• tofore. You know not what may occur ; but if we may judge from the signs of the times, the democratic element is getting daily more and more power ful. I appeal to you, and to all thoughtful men on both sides of the House, whether the great enemies which the Constitution of England has now to dread, are not infi delity and lawlessness, the fruitful parents of revolution. These are what England has most to fear, and not `Popery ;' nay, I will say more, and I will boldly assert that there is but one body in the world which can now give an uncompromising and organised resistance to them, and that is the Roman Catholic Church ; for until other churches can show that they are capable of expelling from their communion dignitaries and ministers who preach infidel doctrines, I cannot call their spasmodic efforts to uphold truth an organised opposition to error. The time may not be far distant when the Crown will have to seek for defenders. 'Where will it ever find any more reliable than its Catholic subjects, who, at all times, through evil report and through good report, have, as all his tory testifies, been staunch supporters of their sove reign, except in Ireland a blot which it behoves England to wipe away? Is it wise to allow any impediments to interfere with the free expansion of their loyalty? Rather, would it not be well to hold out the hand of fellowship to them, and banishing from our memories (as, thank God, they are from our hands) the axe, the faggot, and the halter—employed, alas ! but too often on either side—endeavour henceforward rather to win our way by the practice of those Christian virtues which will best testify to the truth which we profess to hold, and join in arms against our common enemy ? I pass by with scorn the allegation that Catholics are not to be trusted because they own a double allegiance. They own, it is true, spiritual allegiance to him whom they regard as the Vicegerent of Christ upon earth, but they own temporal allegiance to none other than the sovereign of these realms, and if any dare to question her right, their arms will be the first raised to defend it. In one word, they are taught to render to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are G o d's." ACCIDENT AT BELFAST.—At the swimming matches on Wednesday night at Belfast Lough, a small boat was run down by a schooner, opposite Hollywood, and seven persons immersed in the water, three of whom were drowned, and another not expected to recover. THE SHOEBURYNESS EXPERTHENTS.—OH Thurs day the Illillwall shield was subjected to a very trying experiment. Thirteen rounds were fired, two of which were from the heavy American smooth-bore gun. The shield stood the firing in a manner which elicited the wonder of those who witnessed the trials. REMOVING A JUDGE.---The unusual step of re moving a judge has been taken in the case of Chief Jus tice Beaumont, of the colony of British Guiana. The local Court of Policy presented a memorial to the Crown, impeaching the Chief Justice on seven charges, the most important of which were improperly and intemperately holding up the Executive Govern. ment to hatred and obloquy ; vexatiously taking occasion to embarrass the colonial administration; administering harsh and vindictive punishments ; using offensive, intemperate, and calumnious language ; illegally exercising arbitrary power ; and improperly interfering with the judicial records. The case was argued for several days before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, and, at the recommendation of their lordships, the Crown has just issued an Order in Council removing the Chief Justice from his office. ATTEMPTED MURDER. IN A CHAPEL. —A singu case was heard at the Waterford Assizes on Tuesday. A woman, named Mary Russell, pleaded guilty to the charge of wounding with intent to kill. It appeared that the prisoner, who is a tall, strong young woman, was attached to a young man in the parish of Clonea. The course of her "true love" was not an excel). tion to the general rule, and after some time the object of her affections abandoned her for another young woman in the neighbourhood. The prisoner determined ou vengeance, and during the most solemn part of the mass in the Roman Catholic chapel of Clonea she plunged a knife into the neck of her rival, inflicting upon her a most dangerous gash. The latter has since recovered from the effects of the wound. On being called to plead, the prisoner admitted that she was guilty of the charge, but declared at the same time that the wounded woman had not got half of what she deserved. She was serLtir.c?l to 18 months' imprisonment with hard labogr THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 17, 1868. RAILWAY AND OTHER COMPANIES.

MEE7ING OF MIDDLESEX MAGIS- TRATES. A meeting of the magistrates of the county of Middlesex was held yesterday at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell. ELECTION OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COURT. Mr. Kemshead, in the absence of a chairman, took the chair. Mr. ARMSTRONG moved that Mr. Henry Pownall be elected for the next twelve months. Mr. JAMES BENSLEY said he had much pleasure in seconding the motion. The resolution was put and carried unanimously. Mr. POWNALL, in returning thanks, said it was the twenty-fifth time they had yearly elected him chairman of the court. They had known him so long and so well that he hoped they would not measure by his feebleness of expression the strength of the feeling with which he received that renewed proof of their confidence. Ile thanked them most sincerely for this renewed mark of their favour,and, under God's blessing, he hoped to labour with them for a few years longer. which contained £695 in notes, the numbers of which corresponded with a telegram he had pre viously received. Mr. Devalle, cashier at the St. James's branch of the London and Westminster Bank, said a person named henry Allen had a deposit account at the bank. It was the practice when money was de-• posited to give receipts for the amounts depos'itart On the side of each receipt was a cheque, yr - Mai had to be signed by the depositor on drawing out the money. On the 27th April the female prk. oner produced the deposit receipt for £9OO with the cheque on the side, signed " Henry Allen," and stamped. The body was not filled up, as the inte rest had to be calculated. Witness asked the pri soner how she would take it, and she named •the notes, and he gave them to her. He compared the signature to the deposit note with the signatw e in the deposit book, and they appeared to be tive ziame handwriting, but having had his attentiora more particularly drawn to the last signature„ The was of opinion it was not in the handwriting of the depositor, Henry Allen. had seen the pr isoner at the bank three or four times before the 27th of April, but he could not say whether she virx; with her husband or not. Believed her to be the wife of the prosecutor. By Mr. Froggatt—Two of the £5 no ten, and several of the £lO notes, were part of the notes given by him to the prisoner. had never I aid any order of the prisoner's before. Mr. Walter Read, clerk at the bank, saki when henry Allen opened an account he signed the book iu the usual way, and asked him to fill up the ad dress, Latimer-road, Hammersmith, which he did. He should say that the signature to the receipt note was not like that on the books. By Mr. Froggatt—Would not have paid the note on the ,signature. Had seen the prisoner at the bank, and might have paid money out to her. Mr. Chabot, of 25, Southampton-row, an ex pert, had made handwriting his study. Had compared the signature to the two documents, and was satis fied they were not written by the person who signed the book at the bank. The signatures to the documents he considered were unmistakably forgeries. By Mr. Froggatt—llad not disagreel several times with other experts. Was employed by the Crown in the case of Ityves v. the Duke of Cumber land. Mr. Bennett, salesman-butcher at the Metropo ;an Cattle-market, was called, but he did not answer. Mr. Poland said his evidence was material, as he had changed one of the £lOO notes for the prisoner Prince. The witness could attend at the trial. Mr. Froggatt said the £lOO-note was changed by the prisoner at the request of Mrs. Allen. lie had an important witness to call before the prisoner was finally committed. Mr. Poland intimated that he should not go into any charge against Prince with respect to the forgery. Mr. Knox considered that the charges of larceny against Prince and uttering a forgery against Allen were sufficient. Mr. Froggatt applied for bail to be taken, and also that the money found on Prince might be given up. _ Mr. Knox could not accede to the application for bail, neither for the delivery of the money, as it might be part of the £.1.00-note changed by the pri soner Prince. DUNABURG AND WITEPSK (LIMITED). An extraordinary general meeting of this com pany was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Mr. Mitchell is the chair. Mr. S. 11. Godefroi, the secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN stated that the two former meet ings of the company recently held were for autho rising certain alterations in the articles of associa tion, and for confirming the same. This meeting was for the purpose of obtaining the sanction of the proprietors to certain modifications in respect of the capital of the company, for reducing the nominal amount of the shares, and making them transfer- , able to bearer. The reduction of the capital was in consequence of the railway having been completed for less than the original estimate. After some discussion, the following resolutions, moved by the CHAIRMAN, and seconded by Mr. GOSCHEN, M. P., were agreed to unanimously : " 1. That in the opinion of this meeting it is desirable to exercise the powers conferred by the Companies Act, 1867, in the following particr.lars —that is to say, by the reduction of the nominal capital of the company from £2,600,000 divided into 26,000 shares of £lOO each, to £2,080,000 divided into 26,000 shares of £BO each ; by the subdivision of the 26,000 shares of £BO each into 130,000 shares of £l6 each ; by the issue of share warrants to bearer in the place of registered shares fully paid up at the option of the holder. " 2. That the Board do communicate the fore going resolutions to the Imperial Government of Russia, and request their approval thereof ; and that on receiving such approval the Board do prepare resolutions and take all steps necessary for giving the same legal effect." In reply to a question it was stated that the traffic receipts showed a considerable increase over those iu the same period of last year, and that when other lines in connection with it were completed the traffic would still further increase. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN. The traffic receipts on this company's lines amounted for the third week in June to $92,043, and for the corresponding week last year to $90,825, showing an increase of $1,218. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA. The traffic receipts on this company's lines for the week ending the 27th of June amounted for the conveyance of 26,949 passengers to £9,116, for 1,80-1 emigrants to £1,735; for mails, &c., to £1,233 ; and for live stock and 22,735 tons of freight to £14,949 —total £27,083, and for the cor responding week last year to £22,613, showing an increase of £4,170. The total receipts from the Ist of January to the above date amounted to £648,522, and for the same period last year to £62l,9o3,showing an increase of .026,619, or about 44 per cent. MADRAS. The receipts on this company's lines, 645 miles in length, amounted for the week ending the 23d of May to £13,612, and for the corresponding week last year _on the same mileage to £8,567, showing an increase of £5,045. VA RNA. The traffic receipts on this company's line for the week ending the '23d June amounted to £Bl9, and for the corresponding week last year to £1,389, showing a decrease of £570. RAILWAY BILLS. Yesterday, in the House of Commons, in Mr. Dodson's committee, the Isle of Wight (Newport Junction) Railway Bill was passed, with amend mends, and the consideration of the Devon and Cornwall Railway Bill was adjoarned. In Group No. 9, the Cambrian Railways (revived line to Dol gelly) was fully considered, and again adjourned. GENERAL CREDIT AND DISCOUNT (LIMITED). The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the City Terminus llotel, Can non-street; Mr. J. Bramley-Moore in the chair. Tne report stated that, notwithstanding the con tinued dulness of business and cheapness of money, the profits made during the current year enabled them to make the payment on account of dividend authorised by the articles—viz., "at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum," for the six months ended the 30th of June last. The directors regretted to state that the provisional arrangement made with the late Portuguese Ministry in October, 1867, for a settlement of the claims of the South. Eastern of Portugal Railway, would not receive the sanction of the Cortes. The question, however, was now before that body, with a view to a settlement on another basis. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said they were restricted by their charter from dividing more than 23- per cent. for the first half of the year. The business of the company was steadily increasing, and they were able to pay the dividend which had been fairly earned. The active capital of the company had to do duty for itself as well as the capital that was locked up. To show the confidence of the public in the under taking he mentioned that the deposits, which stood at £123,455 on the 30th of June last year, had been iccreased this year to £1,509,796. This had been done by the aid of their shareholders, who had thus greatly benefited the undertaking, and he hoped they would continue those efforts which could not fail to benefit the concern still fur ther. With regard to what he might call the " lock ups" there was the money lent to the South Eastern of Portugal Railway, but he hoped that the recent crisis in Lisbon would result in benefit to the com pany. He had every confidence that some reason able course would be adopted by the Government. The Duke de L'Aunay, a man of high honour, had been requested to form a new Ministry, and unless overruled by the democratic element, he had no doubt that some plan would be devised for the settlement of the company's claim in respect of the South Eastern of Portugal Railway that they could accept. The claim had been urged on two successive Governments, including both sides. He then alluded to their claims on the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, and said, although a bill in Chancery had been filed by them against the Chatham Company, in March, 1867, no answer had yet been put in, but they would soon be compelled to do so, as the 24th inst. was the latest time they could put in answer. The di rectors were still confident in the justice of their claim on the Chatham Company, and that the final issue must be in favour of this company. Mr. G. Worms seconded the motion for the adoption of the report, including the interim divi dend, and it was carried unanimously. The proceedings concluded with thanks to the chairman and directors, and also to Mr. J. Mac donald, the general manager.

SWIFT, of which notice had been given as follows :—" That, in considera tion of the Roman Catholic priests attending the House of Correction at Westminster, a salary of £2OO per annum be awarded to each under the provisions of the Prison Ministers' Act, 1863, as a reasonable recompence for their ministrations to the Roman Catholic prisoners confined therein " was, after some consideration, adjourned to the October county day, and the other business of a miscellaneous character having been transacted, The Court adjourned. THE CHARGE OF FORGERY AND ELOPEMENT. Catherine Allen, of Bleclayden-mews, Notting hill, the wife of a horse and cattle dealer, charged with forging an order on the London and West minster Bank for £902 Os. 3d., and Charles Prince, master butcher, \Valmer-terrace, Notting-hill, were brought before Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough street Police-court yesterday for final examination. Mr. F. Lewis appearel for Mr. Allen, the hus band ; Mr. Poland appeared for the London and Westminster Bank ; and Mr. Froggat for the pri- soners. Mr. Lewis said the original charge against the prisoners was forgery; but as there was another charge against Prince for the larceny of the prose cutor's goods, and as the female prisoner coul i not be tried on a joint indictment with the male pri soner, he proposed to complete the case of larceny against the male prisoner, his friend Mr. Poland proposing to prosecute the female prisoner for for gery on the London and Westminster Bank. Patrick Mahony, one of the Irish constabulary, proved that he went on board the City of Cork steamer when that vessel arrived at Queenstown, and found the two prisoners together. He told the prisoners there was a charge of forgery against them, and cautioned them against saying anything, except of their own free will. He found on the pri soners £7O 10s., a si l v er wat ch and gold chain, and gave en witnessa t the policeoan prisoner t n eh d r a that she that might she have a ring. On coming ashore, and office, Prince told the female Na b vb e h t oi t uc c ht r h ce h or a .n n t d arri nohevede femaler 16, 5 anything iprisoner bank notes, and a joint passage ticket for New York. Before taking the prisoners into custody he hid received a letter con taining the numbers of the notes, which he found to correspond with the numbers of the notes in the bag. The male prisoner pointed out several boxes as their luggage; the boxes were labelled "Prince." The prisoner Prince said the property belonged to himself and wife. Cross-examined by Mr. Froggatt—The labels were rubbed off while the boxes were in transit to Scotland-yard. Had a telegraphic message to arrest the prisoners, but no warrant. 1 Henry Allen said he was married on the 27th of June, 1853, at Harefield Church, near Uxbridge, to Catherine Hurd, the prisoner. Had known the that the coming to to h prisoner male prisoner for abo ut three years , het having house. The been in theprisoner i habit son e r p of r occasionallyinee knew th was his wife. Discovered, on returning home from Thorney Fair, Cambridge, that his wife had left his house the night previously, at which time he had given her £3O to take care of for him. Had seen the boxes produced by the police, and found them to contain property belonging to him, con sisting of silk handkerchiefs, bed-linen, and other property. There was also a pair of shoes which he had sold to the prisoner Prince some time before. The property in the boxes was worth £2O. Cross-examined—Never, to his knowledge, had told his wife she might go away and leave him. When he missed her from home he thought she had gone to her father's, and rode 20 miles to see if sbe was there. Mr. Lewis said that was the case against Prince. Mr. Froggatt said he would reserve the defence ; but he hoped the case would be sent to the Middle sex Sessions, and bail would be taken. Mr. Knox said it was a heinous offence, and he could not comply with the application. There was evidence before him that the prisoner Prince ran away with another man's wife, and that the goods of the husband were found in his possession. As the woman, if committed, must be tried at the Central Criminal Court, the male prisoner must also be sent there for trial. Mr. Froggatt wished that the husband should be prevented from annoying his wife. The prosecutor denied that he had any intention of annoying his wife. The case against Catherine Allen was then pro ceeded with. She was charged with forging a de posit note for £9OO on the London and West minster Bank. Mr. Poland said the prisoner was charged in the first instance by her husband with having forged the order to receive the money. The London and Westminster Bank thought it was their duty to take up the matter. There was a difficulty in the case, inasmuch as he could not examine the husband against his wife. If, however, he proved that the particular document was not in the handwriting of the husband, he considered he should have estab -1 lished a prima facie case for sending the wife to trial. Patrick Mahony repeated his evidence, and proved that he received a bag from the prisoner TREATMENT OF CHOLERA AND DIARRHCEd. Sir Thomas Watson, Bart., whose lectures on medicine have most influenced the practice of this half-century, writes this week in the British Medical Journal:—" I find it necessary to modify considerably some advice which I formerly gave my auditors as to the treatment of a disorder which appears to be again increasingly prevalent through out the country." The form and features of this dreaded pestilence have, he says, " been the same in all its visitations to this country." " Must we still, as heretofore, make the mortifying confes sion that our art is unable to cope with it success fully ? Not so, I trust. Among the many and discordant experiments which have been brought forward, and fairly tried, for the cure of cholera, one long since suggested, and almost scorn fully rejected, has emerged of late into cleirer sig nificance and more intelligible and ascertained value. I mean the method—recognised as legiti mate and reasonable in various other maladies—of elimination of which the main advocate has been Dr. George Johnson, Professor of Physic in King's College." After commenting upon the facts and principles involved, Sir Thomas Watson lays down the following rules in language partly his own and partly that of Dr. George Johnson : " Diarrhoea ought not to be neglected, even for an hour. " One important and guiding rule of treatment is, ' not to attempt by opiates, or by other directly repressive means, to arrest a diarrhain, while there is reason to believe that the bowels contain a consi derable amount of morbid and offensive materials.' " The purging is the natural way of getting rid of the irritant case. We my favour the recovery by directing the patient to drink copiously any simple diluent liquid water, or (cold or tepid), toast-water, barley-water, or weak tea ; and we may often accelerate the recovery by sweeping out the alimentary canal by some safe purgative, and then, if necessary, soothing it by an opiate. Castor-oil, notwithstanding its unpleasant taste, is, on the whole, the safest and best purgative for this purpose. It has the advantage of being very mild and unirritating, yet withal very quick in its action. A tablespoonful of the oil may be taken, floating on cold water, or any other simple liquid, which may be preferred by the patient. A mixture of orange-juice or of lemon-juice with water forms an agreeable vehicle for the oil. If the dose be vomited, it should be repeated immediately, and the patient should lie still, and take no more liquid for half an hour, by which time the oil will have passed from the stomach into the bowels. Within an hour or two the oil will usually have acted freely. Then a tablespoonful of brandy may be taken in some thin arrowroot or gruel ; and if there be much feel ing of irritation, with a sense of sinking, from five to ten drops of laudanum may be given in cold water. These means will suffice for the speedy arrest of most cases of choleraic diarrhoea. If the patient have an insuperable objection to caster oil, or if the oil cannot be retained on the stomach, ten or fifteen grains of powdered rhubarb, or a tablespoonful of the tincture of rhubarb, or a tea spoonful of Gregory's powder, may be substituted for the oil. " If the diarrhoea have continued for some hours, the stools having been copious and liquid ; if there be no griping pain in the bowels, no feel ing or appearance of distension of the intes tines; the abdomen being flaccid and empty, and the tongue clean—we may conclude that the morbid agent has already purged itself away. There will, therefore, be no need for the castor oil or other laxative ; and we may immediately give the brandy in arrow-root, and the laudanum, as before directed. The rule in all cases is, not to give the opiate until the morbid poison and its products have for the most part escaped ; not to close the door until ' the enemy' has been expelled. While there are some cases in which the evacuant dose is not required even at the commencement of the attack, there are many more in which the opiate is un necessary in the later stages. In some cases of severe and prolonged diarrhoea, it may be ne cessary to repeat the oil and laudanum alter nately more than once at inter(als of three or four hours. Practical skill and tact are required to discriminate these cases. It must be borne in mind that, ►vhen the choleraic secretions are being :active!y poured out from the blood-vessels, the blood, though it may have been completely emptied by a dose of oil, may quickly again be come filled with morbid secretions, and hence the need for an occasional repetition of the evacuant dose." " If the diarrhoea be associated with vomiting, this should be encouraged and assisted by copious draughts of tepid water. The vomiting affords re lief, partly by the stimulus which it gives to the circulation, but mainly by the speedy ejection of morbid secretions." " If there be nausea without vomiting, and more especially if the stomach be supposed to contain undigested or unwholesome food or morbid secre tions, an emetic may be given—either a teaspoonful of powdered mustard, or a tablespoonful of com mon salt, or twenty grains of ipecacuanha powder, in warm water. " In all cases of severe diarrhcel, the patient should remain in bed." 7HE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS BILL. The Select Committee upon this bill resumed their discussion of clauses yesterday. In the chair was the Chancellor of the Exchequer. On clauses D and E, affecting the Caledonian Company, Mr. Scudamore explained that the company let their public business by agreement, but they had a rever sion, for which it was proposed to compensate them. In other cases the claim to a reversion would have to be shown before it could be entertained. Mr. Goschen asked whether if a company claimed under D it could also claim under E ? Mr. Blenkinsopp replied in the negative. A company would have to decide whether they would claim for loss of way-leave under clause 11, or compensation for not being able to carry on busi ness themselves after the agreement had terminated under clause E. A substantial agreement had been come to with the North British Railway Company on the dis puted points to which attention had been previously called. Mr. Coates introduced the question of the com pensation to employes who had been engaged on yearly salaries. Mr. Baxter urged that the words " five years" in the employ of the company were sufficient to entitle to compensation. If a literal interpretation of the words " yearly salary" were insisted upon there would not be more than twenty persons who could claim, if their services were not required. The telegraph companies, for their own conveni ence, had been paying their salaries fortnightly or monthly. The Chairman asked Mr. Baxter for a list of their servants, with the terms of service. Mr. Baxter said he could not furnish it that afternoon. He hoped that the committee would deal liberally with the employes, as they bad already settled the purchase of the whole system. The Chairman denied that he agreed to compen sation being given to employes of five years' stand ing without the limitation of a yearly salary. Atter some discussion it was ultimately agreed that the principle of compensation should be seven years at a rate of £75 per year, or five years at a yearly salary. In reply to Mr. Leeman, Mr. Baxter said all their clerks in charge did not get £75 per year. Mr. Goschen said it would be wise for Mr. Baxter to submit the return which had been asked for in time for the discussion which would take place in the House of Commons, so that no unin tentional injustice might be done to any one. Mr. Leeman urged that £5O should be the limit. The committee divided upon the question, and it was decided that the limit should be £75. In the clause which referred to contracts with newspapers, it was agreed to insert words so as to include clubs, exchanges, and news-rooms within the meaning of the clause. Words werealso added that no proprietor or publisher of a newspaper should have priority in obtaining news, or a pre ference in the rates charged over any other pro prietor or publisher. Several other clauses of minor importance were discussed, but no alteration of any consequence was made. Counsel, on behalf of Bonelli, asked whether they would have the privilege of going before the arbitrator, and the Chairman said they clearly would. Mr. Sargood said they could of course go be fore the arbitrator, and the promoters would then argue that they had nothing to dispose of. The committee then proceeded to the scheduling with less or more of opposition or explanation, of agreement between the Postmaster• General and the following railway co:npanies : —The Great Western, the South-Western, the London, Chatham, and Dover, the South-Eastern, the North-Eastern, the Bristol' and Exeter, the North British, and the Caledonian ; and batween the following Telegraph Companies : The Submarine, Neuter's, the Atlantic and Anglo-American, and the Universal Private Telegraph Company (Limited). The promoters of the bill propose that the arbi trators—to whom, in the many transactions to be taken into their Consideration, so much is entrusted should be appointed by the Lord Justices of her Majesty's Court of Common Pleas. The committee then terminated their labours, and the bill will be reported in due course. HORRIBLE CHILD MURDERS AND MU TILATION.-7HE POLICE AND THE CORONER. List evening Dr. Lankester held three inquests at the Elephant and Castle, King's-road, St. Pancras, relative to murdered and exposed children. The first case was one of a horrible character, and had been adjourned for the attendance of the alleged mother. The surgeon, however, yesterday gave a certificate that the suspected woman could be removed, which the police took advantage of, and she was placed before the magistrate, and sent to the House of Detention under remand, thereby frustrating the view of the coroner's jury Charlotte Dalton, the alleged mother of the deceased, was in service at BelithaVillas, Barnsbury Park, but left there on the 30th ult., going to a Mrs. Barber's, at No. 30, Thanet-street,' St. ', ane w. She asked Mrs. Barber to throw some water down the water-closet, when the litter saw a child there. She tried to get it out of the pan. She accused the woman Dalton of being the mother of the child and having deposited it there. Dalton said it was born on the Sunday night. She said it was born dead, and she did not like to tell anybody about it. She said she was quite alone at the time of the birth, and the child fell on the floor. She also said she had thrown the placenta down the closet. Dr. J. T. Paul was called in, and examined the dead child. He found a piece of merino over the head, tied tightly round the neck, with two separate ligatures. It was a very fine child, and was fully developed, the lungs floating freely in water. The cause of death was fracture of the skull and other injuries. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." The second case was on the body of a child found near Bedford-square Chapel. It was wrapped up in a parcel, and the cause of death was effusion of blood on the brain. Verdict, " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." A third case was that of a packed-up child which was found in Dean's-place, Somers Town, in the front garden of a dwelling-house. This child had not fully lived, and therefore a verdict of "Still born" was returned. Mr. Bedford, the Westminster coroner, held an inquest the previous evening at the Sessions-house, Broad Sanctuary, on the body of the illegitimate male chill of Mary Jane lleath, a general servant at Storey's Gate Tavern. The mother of the child was confined in the water-closet, and she wrapped up her offspring in her apron and placed it in the coal cellar. She denied till the last that she had been delivered, but the child was found alive, and so continued for four hours. The skull was frac tured after birth, and there was effusion of blood at the base of the skull. There was also a jagged cut near the temple, over the left orbit. The cause of death was exhaustion from the pressure of extra vasated blood on the brain, produced by fracture of , the skull. - - . - Verdict—" Death from fracture of the skull, but how caused there was not sufficient evidence to show." All receive with satisfaction the announcement, that in consequence of the Reduction in Duty, Horniman's Pure Teas aro sold Bd. per pound Cheaper. 2,500 Authorised Agents—Confectioners in London and Chemists in the provinces—supply liorniman's Tea only in Packets. THE OVERLAND MAIL. The Overland Mail arrived last night, bringing despatches dated Bombay, June 16 ; Madras, June 11; Hong Kong, May 29 ; Adelaide, May 23 ; and Sydney, May 20. The following are the principal items of intelligence in the Bombay Gazette :—" The Bombay Bank Commission was opened publicly, pro forma, on the 10th inst., and adjourned till the 20th, the commission to be occupied meanwhile in going over the papers of the bank. The exporta tion of silver coin from Persia has been prohibited, but that of gold is still allowed. Paymaster (Cap tain) Lawes, of the 90th Light Infantry, at Suba thoo, is about to be tried by a court-martial for defalcations amounting, it is said, to about 10,000 rupees. Considerable reforms are to be carried out in the Indian Telegraph Department, charges being lowered, and alternative lines erected. The Bhunnoo Expedition is reported to have been abandoned for the present for want of funds. Capt. Sladen's official designation has been altered to that of Political Agent at Mandalay. Sir S. Northcote has given Rs. 2,000 to the Calcutta Uni versity, to be awarded in the form of four prizes of Rs. 500 each at the entrance examination of 1869. Ile has male donations also to other Cal cutta institutions. The annual hadj to Mecca i 3 reported to have passed off satisfactorily. The Go vernment of India has decided not to do anything towards establishing female normal schools unless in every case there be native co-operation and ini tiation, an exception being made of the Presidency towns, which are to receive Its. 12,000 each per annum for five years, in order to establish such school experimentally. The Madras Chamber of Commerce has protested against the abolition of the Madras Mint, on which the Government of In dia had resolved. From an annual report as to the Calcutta volunteers, it appears that there are 205, 150 being effective. Some adverse criticism has been excited by the severity of a sentence in a re cent suttee case at Cawnpore. Fourteen men were transported for life, and 30 for ten years ; and 11 others were to be imprisoned for five years. The inhabitants of Lahore have adopted an address to the Queen apropos of the Australian event. The French bark St. Bernard has been wrecked at Ma dras, and serious damage has been done to the Ma dras pier by her coming against it. The Overland China Mail, in its summary of news, states : There is but little news from Japan. The FA- Shogoon, Stotsbashi, has submitted to his sentence and gone into retirement. Two powerful Dahl:dos of his party are, however, still in arms. The con cession at lliogo is described as i 4 san dy a nd swampy ;" lots are, however, to be put up at $1,500. A proclamation has been issued at Shanghai by the Chinese authorities, warning natives against swind lers who profess to collect money for the suppres sion of piracy. The Che-heen of Shanghai has pub licly invited detailed accounts of all persons who fell in the Taiping rebellion, in . order that an authentic native account of the movement may be written. Mr. Cooper, the explorer, has reached the confines of Wee tern China. Ile was within five days' jour ney of Thibet by last advices. A beacon has been erected on Block. House Spit in the Yangtsze. The rebels have retired from Tientsin. Great uncer tainty prevails as to their intentions. A local rising is said to have broken out in Anhwey, owing to disputes between former occupants of land before the Taeping rebellion, and those who subsequently became possessed of it. Consuls Winchester and Medhurst have visited Chinkiang to report on the desirability of keeping open or closing it as a Trinity Port. Result of their visit is not known• The Chinese officials at Shanghai have prohibited native women from "aping foreigners in dressing their hair. Gen. Li is in much disfavour with the authorities, despite his alleged victories over the rebels. The recent movements of the latter do no t seem to indicate that they have met with a yell severe check. _ _ Three criminal informations have been filed by the Attorney-General of Hongkong, on the part of her Majesty the Queen, against the proprietor of the China Mail, for alleged libels, against the King of Portugal, against Sr. Amaral (late Governor 01 Macao), and against Sr. Horta (the present Gover nor), all in connection with the coalie trade 3t Macao. " Not guilty" and justification are de fendant's pleas. There is nothing of interest from Australia. SHIPPING RETURNS. The Commissioners of Customs have to rePe A r6 that the number of new vessels built a n d registere d in all parts of the British empire in 1867 shows 3 considerable falling off; the number is 2,180 ves sels of 465,899 tons, a decrease of 554 vessels all' 270,600 tons in 1867, as compared with the rig ni ; ber of new vessels in 1866, and of 769 vessels e. 510,951 tons as compared with 1865. The de crease is chiefly in the vessels built in the Dr i ; tish plantations, which have declined from 1, 262 to 852 ; but there h as been al s o a falling e"4 of more than 100 in the vessels built in t he United Kingdom, and those built in the Chann el Islands have been reduced to less than one lA , ; This decline in the shipbuilding trade is attribute' to there not having been time for its recovery frel the depression of 1865-66, from which nun3erel and disastrous failures occurred, but notwithstai i `i: ing the depressed state of the trade in 1867 (whic h has been more observable on the Thames and Afelle•T than on the north-east coast of England and in t he great Scotch rivers), and notwithstanding the ni losses at sea, the total number of registe r, , vessels on the registry books in 1867 is larg er than in 1866, being 40,942, as against 40,912 vessels. This arises from many foreign ve ssclo having changed hands, and now appearing in °u,r registry books as British property. These trap ; fers occurred to a great extent with the Anier ie .,. s o shipping during the war ; and since its concl usiv _a the heavy taxes imposed on all manufacttlo_ products, together with the scarcity of skilled labo. have almost entirely checked shipbuilding opera tl °b, in America, and tended still more strongly to vilYtif draw from this country the competition of e o f greatest rivals, and to throw into the hand s tho British shipowners an increasing proportion of e ig carrying trade. In 1861, 4,139 American ve °s 3 4 entered and cleared at the ports of the ife l 4601 Kingdom ; in 1862, only 2,773 ; in 1 863 , 11 in 1864, 956 ; in 1865, 819 ; in 1866, I,ooolbPer that in 1866, the latest return available, the ntle 3 of vessels was less than one-fourth what it O S the year of the commencement of the war.
