Seeing there a half gallon can belonging to another publican in the neighbourhood he took it away with the inten tion of roturning 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 female prisoner then came in, and being very abusive, 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. He believed he would have been murdered if assistance Lad 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. VIA HIES. OVERBOARD HE WENT.—Joseph Walker, a tall and athletic man, well known on shore as a labourer, and to u t er , was b rought b efore M r. Ben son, charged w i t h attempting to commit self destruction. porter, Thomas J. Biker, 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 walking along the pier head, Shadwell, and whei he got to the edge of the pier he jumped into the lock. A bargeman put out his pitcher (a long pole with a hook at the end), and got him out of the water, and hoisted him on beard over the rudder. He assisted in getting the prisoner on shore. Mr. Benson—And he was very glad 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 dio 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 pulle I 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. Itmson—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 —Tnat i 3 eonsiiteat with his state ment, and that he slipped in. Inspector Gen said that a witness who was out side the court a few minutes ago saw the prisoner deliberately jump into the lock, an l when he was pulled out he began swearing at his rescuers. The prisoner deliberately jumpd into the lock directly after he left the person he had referred to. A huge fellow, about 45 years of age, who is called the Man Mountain, here steppe 1 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 yourself, I am sure ? Witness—Certainly not. I want to live as long as I can. My son has no reason to drown him self. Mr. Benson hoped the prisoner did not attempt to do such a wicked and rash act as to drown him self, and as there was some doubt on the subject he would give him the benefit of it by discharging him RAILWAY IN7ELLIGENCE. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN. A special general meeting of this company was held on Thursday at the Waterloo station ; Cap tain Mangles in the chair. The Solicitor read the heads of a bill to extend the time for completing certain of the authorised works of the company. The principal objects of the bill were to extend the time for completing the Kensington and Ric:nuond and the Aldershot Rail ways, to mike a oirciage road near Brook wood station to reduce the comp tny's capital with reference to the abandonment of the Ilfracombe Railway, to extend the eotninny's powers for acquiring land for general purposes, and to confer on the company powers for the improvement and disposal of their superfluous land, but not to raise adlitional capi tal. (Hear; hear.) The CHAIRMAN, in moving the approval of the bill, hoped the proprietors would consider it unob jectionable. The motion was secJnded 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 at Waterloo, 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 IVorkicg 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 approved, 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. Th e 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 C HA IRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the accounts were presented in an im proved form, being shorter and clearer than usual, to which they had added a balance-sheet. The re venue of the company for the past half-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 hesame averaged 0f 85 1 2 86 m during the half-year, 1866, The The mileage open for traffic against 777 miles in th e correspon di ng half of 1866. The mileage of p assenger tra i ns was 556,000 miles against 531,000 m il es i n t h e same half of t 1866. The total number of p tssengers conveyed during the half-year was 1,756,000 against 1,459,000. The cost of coke and coal was 16 I. 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 £694,000, or 59 per cent., and the net receipts to £840,000. The gross receipts for the year 1866 amounted to £1,202,000, the working expenses to £716,000, or 57 per cent., and the net receipts to £536,000. T he 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 Is. 9d. per cent. for 1865, of £5 14s. 6d. per cent. for 1 866, and of £5 19s. 9d. per cent. for 1867. He was not quite satisfied with those re sults, but they showed progress, and perhaps ought to be considered satisfactory. The state of some of the works on the line had cansed considerable anxiety to the directors, and immediately after the last meeting they sent out Mr. Berkley, their con sulting engineer, to India, with full instructions to investigate the whole matter with a view to preveut such disasters in future as the failure of bridges and viaducts. Her Majesty's Government had met them in a liberal spirit ou 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 would 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. (Ilear, 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 too narrow, a mistake no doubt made in good faith, but not suitable for a great trunk line. The company's officers were now doing all they could to rectify those defects, and in the renewal of works. After some observations by Mr. Fenn, Mr. Spilsbury, Dr. Beattie, and Mr. Ilill, the report was unaimously 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 , 00 0, under the sanc t ion o f 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 country is now magnificent, the crops exceedingly heavy, and the harvest promises to be a more abunlant one than has been known since 1810. Around Salerno and Pmitum in another fortnight the wheat will be nearly ell 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 pianura d'aoli there ld little hay grown ih that part of Italy. NG, JUNE I, 1868. SPORTING NOTES. .The . general public have good reason to congra tulate themselves on the success of one of the favourites for thellerby, who, thanks to the straight forward and manly conduct of his popular owner, have " landed" an amount bf money from the book makers which ought to keep them on the right side for at least twelve months 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 Epsom in magnificent condi tion, and up to the last moment was supported by some of the roost influential patrons of the Turf. At present no other excu , e has been made on behalf of the 111.trquis, who will certainly lose the sym pathy of many of his best friends through such an ill-advised proceeding. The E.trl, 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 anyra,te, rnn i❑ the first three. As regards the different competitors, 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. (Mon 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. Haugh ton's representative—FEODOß or CHIVALRY. The Cope land Stakes should be won by WHINYARD. FLYING JIB must represent me for the Philips' Handicap, and Orromax for the IVestmoreland 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 PALMI TINE has incurred 31b penalty for winning at Shrews bury, I shall stand her, and next to her my choice is KING OF THE HOVERS. I should think SEAMAN would prove good enough to win the Selling Handi cap. I see nothing to beat KICKSEY WINKSEY for the Donniogton Plate, and Mush is favourably weighted for the Enville Narsery Plate. The City Handicap Plate will be won by Wadlow's represen tative, SALLIET Or PARMA. Friday's events wiil 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 way 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 (no obja d'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.

GRAND PRIZE OF PARIS.—AII Mr. Merry 21 horses—viz., The Parson, Sunstroke, and Phoebus—were struck out on the 27th ult. at 1.45 p.m. Green Sleeve was strulk out of the Oak on Thursday May 28, at 2.20 p.m. Lord Stamford's Regula, 2 yrs, was sold to Mr. Chaplin for 360 gaineas, after winning the Manor Stakes, at Epsom, on Wednesday, and Mr. J. Nightingall claimed Rhododeu_ dron in the same race. Esher, 2 yrs, who won The Horton Stakes, on Tuesday, was sold by aution to Mr. Chaplin for 300 guineas. GOODWOOD.—The entries for Stakes and Cup at this meeting close to-morrow. Mr. H. Goater has named his colt by Mildew out of Beauty (2 yr.,) Lainstone. FORFEIT Lisr.— The forfeits of the following horses have been paid :—Chifney and Veto. ASCOT. —The weights for the Acot Stakes and Royal Hunt Cup will ba published to-day. Lord Durham's colt by Thormanby out of The Nymph, 3 yrs, has been named Apollo. Wild Blood, 3 yrs, was bought by Mr. Potts, for IG2 guineas, after winning the Tadworth Stakes, at Epsom, on Thursday. Little Coates, 2 yrs, was sold to Mr Villiers for 165 guineas, after winning the Durdans Stakes, at Epson; on Friday. ASH'S PATENT FILTERING REFRIGERATOR. —A great improvement upon the refrigerator or ice-box hitherto iu use has been effected by Mr. Ash, of No. 315, Oxford-street, which must certainly entirely supersedes those already in active service. The great novelty of the new Filtering Refrigerator is that all kinds of food, includ ing fresh meat and cheese, can bo 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 isavoided. 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 wiili the greatest certainty under any circumstances in a few minutes. The cook, therefore, is enabled to dolor 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 la'est novelty, however, is a new arrangement of the coffee-pot, by which the coffee itself is rendered really beautiful. After it passes from the " kaffeekanne" it is of exquisite flavour and remark able brilliancy, two very important matters in the prepa ration of coffee ; but perhaps its greatest recommendatio❑ 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 cannot fail to GAUSO it to be most stroragly romtunded. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. 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 looked in to speculate on future events, the subscribers generally being occupied in preparing their accountsin anticipation of the heavy settling to be com menced this afternoon. At night matters were equally dull and spiritless. At at advanced hour the• Grand Prix was introduced, and ono or two bets laid thereon. sto 4 was at first laid against The Earl, but afterwards even money was accepted about him.

Tho continuance of fine weather and the steady progress of the wheat crops towards au early and abundant harvest, has increasing effwct upon the trade, and prices are dachn. ing perceptibly. From the country markets the reports speak of renewed heaviness, and with even moderate supplies prices are 26 to 3s per qr. lower on the week. At Mark-lane tbis morning there was a moderate attend ance, and for wheat the tone was depressed. The arrivals of English wheat were not heavy, b u t 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 soma 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 Weady request, at previous rates. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. With good supplies of stock and dull accounts from the dead meat market, prices this morning suffered general dopression. Of beasts there were 34 from Scotland, 2,806 from various parts of England, and 1,380 from the continent. The beef trade 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. Lain'e also still on re duced terms. Of calves 198 arrived from abroad. The trade was heavy and sales depressed. Pigs sold slowly at late rates. At market: Beasts, 4,220 ; sheep and lambs, 28,740 ; calves, 204; pigs, 300. Quotations : Beef, 3s 4d to 5s 2d ; mutton, 3s 4d to 58 ; veal, 3s 4d to 5s 2d ; pork, 3s to 4s 6d ; lamb, 5s 61 to 6s 10d. 13RI7ISH RULE IN LYDIA. By skilfully availing themselves of the mutual jealousies and dissensions of the native princes, Clive, IVarren Hastings, and the Marquis IVelles 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. Alen, 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 , t hou g h each frag ment had a nationality of its own. Th us so to speak, a nation ; the Sikhs likewise; were, the R:ijpoots, most decidedl y; the Mysoreans, t he Beu g alees, the people of Oudh, were all distinct nations. It is the British Government that has effaced these die ' auctions, 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 Fuels, edited by Anthony Trollope.
