The report, an extract of which has already ap peared, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said that since the last half-yearly meeting, which had for its object the raising of £lOO,OOO on account of the coast section, and £47,000 for the inland line, it was necessary that the assents of three fourths of the shareholders should be obtained. He was happy in being able to inform the meeting that those assents had been obtained, and though there probably were very few railways which had been subjected to so many difficulties as the Cam brian had to contend with, there was now a pro spect of increased prosperity for the line. (Hear, hear.) They were met there to appoint two arbitra tors—one for the inland section and the cther for the coast section, and also two directors in the in terest of the coast section. These elections would .be made in conformity with an act passed last ses sion, and which, brought before a committee of the House of Commons by parties belonging to both sections, had, after certain necessary alterations, been adopted by the Board. He trusted and hoped that, with this prospect of a settlement of their difficulties, the proprietors would forget their several grievances, and that they would all set forth with renewed energy in the direction of a concern which, he believed, would, with proper manage ment, prove to be a prosperous undertaking. Mr. BANCROFF, deputy-chairman, seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. FYNNEY (London) then proposed, and Mr. APE wEN (Manchester) seconded the motion of Mr, Bancroft as arbitrator for the inland section. Mr. Bc.);:ur (Liverpool) said that without mean ing the slightest disrespect to Mr. Bancroft, he would like to know whether his position as deputy chairman did not disqualify him for the appoint ment. Earl VANE said the matter had been fully dis cussed before the resolution was drawn up, and there was no objection whatever to Mr. Bancroft's appointment. The resolution was then unanimously carried. Mr. MORRIS proposed and Mr. QUILTER seconded the appointment of Mr. J. S. Ford as arbitrator in the interest of the coast section. Mr. MORRIS proposed and Mr. MANS seconded the appointment of Mr. J. A. rhilpots as director in the coast interest. Mr. MORRIS proposed and Mr. QUILTEIt seconded the appointment of Mr. J. A. Mann as the second coast director. These several resolutions having been unani mously carried, Mr. BANCROFT said he would take that opportu nity of drawing the attenfon of the shareholders to the advantage of investing in the £47,000 of pre ference debenture stock which the act of the pre sent session enabled them to raise. It was desirable the stock should be taken up in large sums, and with this view the Board had decided that all persons investing £lO,OOO and upwards in this stock should have an allowance of los. per cent. The interest on the whole sum would not exceed £7,000 a year, and as the net receipts of the company would ex ceed £50,000, there was not, he thought, a better investment in the country. The Earl of Fowls then moved a vote of thanks to the chairman, the deputy-chairman, and their colleagues on the Board. Mr. FYNNEY seconded the motion, and the pro ceedings terminated. TOTTENHAM AND HAMPSTEAD JUNCTION. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Westminster-chambers — Mr. F. Carbutt in the chair. The report stated that the railway between Highgate-road and Fenchurch-street was opened for public traffic on the 21st of July last. It was being worked by the Great Eastern Railway Com pany, at cost price, until some arrangement could be made for the construction of the junction with the Midland Railway at Kentish-town. The directors regretted to find that the traffic was at present very inconsiderable, and feared there was little prospect of any substantial increase until the connexion with the Midland Railway system was effected. The difficulties alluded to in previous regard to the land purchases and other liabilities were still pressing most heavily upon the company, and without the assistance and co-operation of all parties interested, whether as creditors, debenture-holders, or shareholders, it was difficult to see how it could be retrieved from the unfortunate pecuniary position in which it was placed. The company's bill of last Session for authorising an increase of £lOO,OOO to the share capital received the Royal assent in due course. Vacancies had occurred at the Board by the death of Mr. Cutbill, and in consequence of Mr. Reed, Mr. Pain, and Mr. Whitelock having parted with their interest in the company. Two of the vacancies had been supplied by the election of Mr. J. J. All port and Mr. S. Swarbrick as directors. The capital account showed that1£329,967 ;had been received and £472,130 expended, leaving a balance against the company of £142,163. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN the report was adopted, and two vacancies in the direction having been filled up, the proceedings terminated. FATAL CRAB ACCIDENT. —On Saturday at the Cricket-road coal pit, near Sheffield, a dozen men were stationed at a crab to regulate the descent of soma timber, weighing about two tons. When it was partly lowered, it overcame the resistance of the men, and the two arms of the crab were whirled round with great velocity, throw ing off and striking the men, one of whom, Richard Binns, was killed almost instantly, and four or five others were more or less injured. .~ t ,~ THE. SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 30, 1868. POLICE INTEL.LIGENCE-- This Day. THE PUBLIC IIEALTII. MARLBOROUGH STREET. A ITEM PTED S UIC IDE —4'atrick Hanley, a de jected looking man, was charged before Mr. Tyr, whitt with attempting to commit suicide by cutting his throat. rt — ifiPeirs from the return issued by the authority of tlie r Registrar-General, that In the week that ended on Saturday, the 26th September, 4,500 births and 3,123 deaths were registered in London and in thirteen other large towns of the United Kingdom. The annual rate of mortality was 25 per 1,000 persons living. The annual rate of mortality last week was 22 per 1,000 in London, and 28 in Edinburgh ; 19 in Bristol, 20 in Birmingham, 31 in Liverpool, 35 in Manchester, 42 in Salford, 23 in Shef field, 32 in Bradford, 34 in Leeds, 22 in Hull, 25 in New castle-upon-Tyne, and 28 in Glasgow. The rate in Berlin was 38 per 1,000 during the seven days ending the 17th inst. The excessive mortality from summer diarrhcea,, principally infantile, which recently prevailed, has nearly disappeared. The deaths referred to this disease in the eleven large English towns, which exceeded 900 both in the last week of July and the Ist of August, had declined to 228 in the week ending last Saturday. During the ten weeks ending last Saturday the annual death-rate from diarrhoea in the several towns was 4 per 1,000 in London, Bristol, and Newcastle, 7 in Bradford, 8 in Liverpool, Sheffield, and Hull, 10 in Manchester, Salford, and Leeds, and, highest, 11 per 1,000 in Birmingham. More than 6,000 deaths were referred to this disease in these eleven towns during the ten weeks, thus raising the average annual death rate by 6 per 1,000 persons living. In London the births of 1,062 boys, and 1,069 girls, in all 2,131 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years, 1858-67, the average number, corrected for increase of population, is 2,085. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,327. It was the thirty ninth week of the year ; and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,285. The deaths in the present return exceed by 42 the estimated amount, and exceed by 107 the number recorded in the preceding week. Police constable John Marshall, 172 C, said that on the 26th July last he was called to a house in Littl3 Compton-street, and found the prisoner lying on a bed iu a state of insensibility, with his throat cut, and on a table by the bedside he saw a razor covered with blood. Ile took the prisoner to the Middlesex Hospital, and he had remained there ever since. Inspector Harrison said the prisoner had refused to give any information as to his friends. Mr. Henry Case, house surgeon to the Middle sex Hospital, said that the prisoner was admitted to the hospital on 26th July last with a wound in his throat four inches in length, the trachea being di vided. The prisoner had bee❑ very weak from the loss of blood, but was now convalescent. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, Mr. Case said that the wound was a very dan gerous one. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner ought to feel very much indebted to the gentlemen at the hospi tal, as he had had a narrow escape. Mr. Case said the prisoner had no home to go to, and still required looking after, as he was in a very desponding state. Mr. Tyr whitt remanded the prisoner for a week, stating that he would be taken care of in the mean time, and by that thee it would be seen whether anything could be done for him. ASSAULT ON A POLICE SERGEANT.—James M'Laren, a baker, living in Richmond-street, St. James's, was charged with disorderly conduct and assaulting Sergeant Fox, 22 C. Sergeant Fox said that on the previous evening he was called to Silver-street, and on going there found two men fighting. lie requested the men to go away, and put his hand on one of them with the view of urging him to go away when the prisoner said, " what the - have you to do with it," and gave him a drive, and on his attempt ing to take him into custody, tried to strike him in the face, but did not succeed, and directly after that he(Sergeaut Fox)was surrounded by a number of the prisoner's companions, and knocked and kicked about. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the prisoner what he had to say in answer to the charge? The Prisoner—Oh, I was drunk and don't know anything I was doing. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had no doubt the prisoner was one of those who wished to continue the fight, and would have put up his Mall even if be was dying. He should fine the prisoner 20s. or 14 days.

UNWOMANLY ATTACK.—Hannah Wilson, a stout powerful woman, was charged with the following unwomanly outrage. Jessie Elizabeth Ward, a young woman whose left eye was entirely closed and face much swollen and contused, said that the injuries she bore had b, ea inflicted by the defendant without any pro vocation. After her day's work as a laundress she went into Mr. Parkinson's, the George and Dragon, near Paradise-row, Chelsea, and after taking some refreshment, left. She had not proceeded many yards when the defendant pushed up against her, and after that struck her a violent blow in the eye. As she had before been insulted by the defendant on one occasion she endeavoured to get away, when the defendant followed and again attacked her. A policeman fortunately came up. Mr. Arnold asked the complainant if she could account for the prisoner's conduct in any way. Complainant replied that she could not. Mr. Arnold asked whether the defendant was intoxicated. Complainant replied that she had been drinking, but certainly appeared to know very well what she was about. A policeman said that he heard cries for help, and on going to the spot found the complainant suffering from the injuries she now hati. Defendant said that the complainant was jealous of her, in consequence of a young man who was keeping company with her having spoken to de fendant. When they met they had a fair fight in which she (defendant) was marked as well as com plainant. The magistrate said that he could not see the marks. Complainant declared that she never struck a blow. Defendant was remanded. THAMES. DARING HIGHWAY ROBBER Y.--T% illiam Johnson, a youth, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being concerned, with others, in assaulting and robbing a man named Roche, a German sugar baker. The complainant, who gave his evidence through the medium of Mr. Wintgen, an interpreter, said that last night at 12 o'clock he was in Alie-street, Whitechapel, and he saw the prisoner and two or three other "young chaps" standing against the railings of a house. As he was passing them the prisoner left his companions, struck him a heavy blow on the head and snatched his watch. He saw the prisoner caught by a police-constable. His watch was worth 50s. He was quite certain the prisoner was the man who snatched his watch. Philip Bradley, a police-constable of the 11 division, said that he saw the prisoners and others running. The•prisoner was the foremost runner. He caught the prisoner. He could not find the watch ; there were several persons about the pri soner and he might have given it to one of them. Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner till Saturday for inquiries, and said the reason he did not remand him for a longer term was that he should not pre side in the court next week. HOW PEOPLE ARE KILLED IN THE STREETS.—A man, who gave the name of Robt. Gardiner Grimes, coal merchant, of the Grove, Stockwell-green, at the station-house, and John S. Manning, of the New Cross, Deptford, confectioner, in the court, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with furi ously driving a horse and cart on Stepney green, and injuring Mrs. Sarah Jacobs, of No. 2, John-street, Stepney-causeway. Mrs. Jacobs was passing along with a boy, and the defendant drove recklessly and rapidly along. She had barely time to pull the boy out of the way and prevent his being killed. Her dress was torn by one of the wheels, and the wheel went over her foot. The screams of the unfortunate woman brought several persons to her assistance, and the prisoner was given into custoiy. He was asked at the station -house for his name and address, and he took out a card, on which was printed " R. Grittier, coal-merchant, The Grove, Stockwell green," and said that is my name and address. An old and intelligent officer, named Dillon, 19 K, police-sergeant, said inquiries should be made on Stockwell-green. The prisoner then said that the card was not his, that his real name was Man ning, and that he was a confectioner living at New- cross, Deptford. Mr. Paget—Which is the prisoner's real name and address? Dillon—Manning, of New-cross, Deptford, con fectioner. There is no name or address on the cart. This is the second case of the kind brought to this court recently. A lady, named Mason, had her foot run over in the Bow-road by a wine and beer merchant's cart a few days ago. Mr. Paget allowed the prisoner to make an arrangement with Mrs. Jacobs, and after he had compensated her he was again brought into the court, on which Mr. Paget mid the prisoner was liable to a fine of £5 for furious di lying, but as he had contrensated the injured party he should reduce the fine to 40s. THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.—At the half-yearly meeting of shareholders, ! . hold at Glasgow yesterday, the report was unanimously adopted, with the exception of the recommendation of a dividend on ordinary stoc k which could not be paid, owing to Mr. Glen's interdict. The mooting adjourned till Oct. 13. TIIE " FRASER" GUN. The Pall _Nall Gazette says: The failure which took place at Woolwich on Friday last of a 9-inch 12-ton Woolwich gun of the " Fraser," or latest construction, is a matter which ought to receive the gravest attention. The issue is not wrapped up in the question whether the steel tube was flawed or not, or whether a hundred guns or so of that pattern have previously passed proof satisfactorily. We have very little doubt that the flawed steel tube was the proximate cause of failure ; but how about the explosive character of the burst ? The gun burst as badly as any cast-iron gun could do ; and we have always been led to believe that the one conspicuous merit of the Wool wich guns is that they are not liable to burst explosively. Hitherto, with few exceptions, their bursting, when it has occurred has been of a harmless nature ; a mere giving way or opening of the structure. But • here is a real burst of a very alarming character. We trust that a careful inquiry will be instituted as to the cause of this behaviour of a Woolwich gun. Can it be traced to any abnormal circumstances, and satis factorily explained ? We sincerely hope that it can, and that it cannot be guaranteed against for the future. But if it cannot, the question will arise whether the particular construction is in fault ; or whether we must make up our minds that wrought-iron gnus are, after all, not so , very much better than their neighbours in this respect. Even supposing this to be established, there will, it is true, still remain to the wrought-iron guns one great advantage, viz., that they do not give way without warning. In this case no warning could be given, as the gun went at the first proof round ; but of course on service we should have a different condition of things. The argu ment that a large number of these guns have passed proof satisfactorily, and that many of them have since fired 500 and GOO rounds would be somewhat to the purpose if we could only get rid of the recollection of the fact that this argument, when advanced on behalf of other guns, has generally been met with, " Ah, yes ! that's one of the bad features of the system, its uncertainty. You may fire 2,000 rounds from one of the guns without acci dent ; and at the 2,0015 t round it would fail you." Therefore, we find little consolation in the fact that several guns of this construction have before stood the proof well. What we want to be satisfied about is : Are the Woolwich guns, or are they not, liable to burst explosively? or is this accident quite exceptional and due to exceptional causes? At any rate, it is important that the subject should be exhaustively investigated, and that we should thoroughly understand the position. Dean Close, of Carlisle, has just returned from a holiday of some months, and Las evidently come back pre pared to defend tha Irish Church with increased vigour. lie preached on Sunday, in Carlisle Cathedral, and, defending cetuLli.hoJ churches generally, wc.t so far as to say that a nation without such an iustitution was a nation without God. An application Las been made to Mr. Burcbam, at the Southwark Police-court, for au order for the destruc tion of a cargo of rotten potatoes about to be distributed among the costermongers. Having examined a cart load as a sample, the magistrate immediately gave the order, re marking that the inspector has perhaps arrested a frightful disease. A telegram from Jerusalem announces that the re construction of the great cupola of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which has been executed under the auspices of France, Russia, and Turkey, is entirely finished. The de corative part even is on the point of completion, and the demolition of the temporary roofing has commenced. The removal of the woodwork, &c., henceforth useless, will take place before the end of the mcnth. An addition has been made to the number of women who have succeeded in passing the ordeal of the Re vision Courts. In the Ormskirk district, seven duly qualified "persons" of the female sex were put upon the list. They were objected to, but the objections were pronounced in formal. The Court, therefore, decided that it had no power to strike off the names. The case will be taken into the supetior courts. Messrs. Wintersheim .and Co., of Paris, who have just taken the contract for printing the 2lloniteur, have ordered five of Marinoni's new printing machines, which will be used for this purpose. These machines are more simple in construction than the machines in general use in England, and are used in France for papers of the largest circulation. Every afternoon 280,000 copies of Le Petit Journal, a halfpenny newspaper, established at Paris, are printed by these machines. The revising barrister at Tynemouth has adopted a view of the law which will result in an extensive dis franchisment of the small tenants. His decision has some relation to the case decided a short time ago, and known as the Sunderland rating case. The overseer had put upon the register the tenants of houses let off in • flats, and while giving the privilege of the franchise, of course made them liable to the payment of rates. This course was declared to be illegal. it was decided that the landlords ought to be rated, and that the tenants were, therefor e, improperly on the register. This decision, it was announced, would disfranchise 2,000 claimants in Tynemouth alone. A MAN GORED BY A BUFFALO.—An accident, which it is feared will prove fatal, has occured at the Zoo logical Gardens, Phoenix Park, Dublin. It appears that one of the caretakers, named Mullins, was employed in the cage in which the buffaloes are kept, when one of them suddenly turned on him, gored him severely in the thigh, and otherwise injured him. The animals had hitherto been considered harmless. The caretaker was able to walk home after the occurrence, but he has since had a succession of epileptic fits. The unfortunate man is at present under medical treatment, and is scarcely expected to recover. A YEAR'S WILLS.—In the year 1867, in which 471,102 persons died in England and Wales (probably half of them minors, and about half the others women) 37,497 probates of wills or grants of letters of administration were issued, 14,623 in London, and 22,874 in the English and Welsh provincial registries. The number is, of course, ever increasing. The increase in 1867 over 1866 was only 285, but 1867 was a year of lower mortality than 1866. The personal property of these 37,497 deceased persons was sworn under £92,302,570—viz., £54,111,975 in the cases disposed of in the London Court of Probate, or registry, and £38,190,595 in the cases in the country registries. In the year 1866 the property happened to be rather larger, reaching £93,184,794. The sums under which the pro perty was sworn in 1867 were equal to £196 for every death in the year, reckoning the deaths of men, women, and children. SUICIDE BY MISTAKE. —Mr. Coroner Heath held an inquest at Mansfield, Notts, on Monday, touching the death of Mr. John Greenwood Walker, shopkeeper, of that town. The evidence went to shew that latterly the deceased had lived uncomfortably at home, partly, it seemed, in consequence of his mother and sister, who were opposed to his marriage. On Thursday he deceased, .his wife, and mother, had some words, and on Saturday morning when he came downstairs he appeared depressed, and after being absent in the yard a few minutes he returned to the house. His breath smelling of laudanum, his wife accused him of having taken some. He said, "Oh, no more than a quarter of an ounce, just to kill the pain in my head." During the day, however, the deceased grew worse, and died the same evening. The jury found the following verdict :—" That deceased died from mis- adventure, to wit, from the effects of laudanum, taken with the intent of frightening his mother, sister, and wife, so as to produce a better state of feeling at h9me, and not witk the intent of taking away his life.", ( U - 111th ED Hi ON SUN .OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK.

MALTA AND ALEXANDRIA CABLE. Telegraph Construction Company (Limited), 54, Old Broad-street, Sept. 30. Captain Sherard Osborn presents his compli ments to the Editor of The Sun, and he has much pleasure in informing him that by a telegram re ceived from Sir Samuel Canning, dated this morn ing from the Scanderia, that the expedition employed in laying the cable from Malta to Alexandria was then off Ros Sem, on the coast of Tripoli, long. 22, east. The submergence of the cable over the deepest water section of the route has therefore been successfully accomplished, and the whole work will in all probability be completed by Friday. 'This t?legram left Malta at 8 this morning and was received at 9.36. VICTORIA CLUB BETTING—Tms DAY.

Charles VII. is re ported to have arrived at the Spanish frontier. HOLLAND'S COAT AND BADGE.-THIS DAY. The coat, badge, and freedom presented by Mr. W. Holland, the proprietor of the Canterbury Music-hall, for competition amongst the watermen of the river Thames, was this day contended for by no less than twenty-one scullers. The weather in the early part of the day was by no means pro pitious, there being a strong and occasionally heavy showers of rain. However, by one o'clock the wind somewhat abated, and hopes were entertained that fine weather would prevail. The course was from Westminster to the Railway Bridge at Pim lico, and the first man in each heat was to contend in the grand struggle. Johnson (blue), and Weede (magenta), started from Westminster-bridge for the first heat, the water being anything but suitable for a sculler's rowing matcb. Johnson obtained the lead, his opponent being but a couple of boats' length astern, rowing very much like a winner, but it was a complete trial of strength against the ele ments. There was little alteration in the race until the men arrived opposite the Government stores at Pimlico, when Weede became waterlogged, and Johnson, of course, won the heat without further opposition. Four started for second heat, the course on this, as on the succeeding, being from Pimlico Bridge to Westminster. It was scarcely a race at all, as Tagg won very easily The third heat was by far a better race—Maison, f Bermondsey, and Hardinge making a capital struggle, which terminated in the first mentioned gaining the pride of place. This was a very ex cellent heat, and repaid every admirer of good rowing for the inconvenience and discom fort occasioned by the pelting showers that fell during the afternoon. The fourth heat was far more exciting than the preceding, Har dinge and Westbrook making a gallant struggle, and such was the closeness with which both arrived at 'Westminster-bridge, that the decision of the re feree was called for, which gave it a dead heat, directing that both men should row in the final co n test. The competitors, therefore, for the grand heat were Johnson, of Bankside ; Tagg, of Moulsey; Maison, of Bermondsey; Westbrook and Harding. FINAL HEAT. R. Hardinge (81ue)... Tagg (Pink) . The celebrated Harry Kelley, the champion of the Thames, had the whole management of the match, and his decision received the unanimous approval of those who occupied the different seats on board the special steamer provided by Mr. Holland for the accommodation of his friends. The prize will be presented to the winner on the stage of the Canterbury Hall this evening by the enterprising donor. RACE oI'• 100 YARDS BETWEEN A HORSE AND A MAN.— A novel ►ace came off on Tuesday on the Okendeu cricket-ground, between Fred. Iloundsell, the pedestrian, and a horse belonging to W. W. Burrell, Esq., 100 yards, to start fair and even. Oa the word being given, the horse made a false start, being chocked in his spring by the per son holding the bridle, but on the second start he sprang away, and in a few strides passed the runner, who slackened his pace, making a poor race of it, the horse winning by 20 yards, doing the distance in 7} seconds, r fdden by the groom, Ben Bleach.—Surrey Standard. e, fie by P le 75 at ei]. era be -be we 'Ye ate )01 ing Ole 6rid t er Aid eft 'it- itil ow ov the are re- c ar, 13 131 ) ard 2G, aosv. gun idaY the I en' eig,ll L the e his ' ,tea Ou r ' if 0 11 Ld off after cool; 1 313` f I scare
