The directors of this company intend, to pay a dividend for the year ending 31st of December last at the rate of 14f. per share, payable on and after the 7th of May. POTTERIES, SHREWSBURY, AND NORTH WALES. In the exercise of the powers conferred upon them by the Railway Companies Act, 1867, the directors of this company have, with the approval of the share holders, filed in the Court of Chancery a scheme of arrangement with their creditors, including provi sions for raising new loan capital and for completing the line. The mortgage debt and some capital of the company already issued amount to £1,113,190, and with the proceeds the line from Llanymynech to Shrewsbury was constructed, and in 1366 opened for traffic, but after being worked for a few months the rolling stock was seized by the Sheriff's officer, and since then the line has remained closed and in possession of a receiver appointed by the Court of Chancery. For the purposes of the scheme of ar rangement the directors divide the railway into two sections, the first consisting of the completed por tion of thelink which connects it with the Shrews bury and Birmingham (Great Western) Railway, and the second of the uncompleted portion to Market Drayton. The directors propose to raise, by the crea tion and issue of debenture s t oc k b earing inte rest at a exceeding exceeding 5 per cent., a sum no t in orde r t o put the constructed portion of the railway in good working order, to complete the first section up to the junction NI ith the Birmingham and Shrewsbury R a il way, and to p a y the purchase money of the land taken and the i nc idental expenses incurred in the management and working of the line. This is to be called de benture stock A, and is to be a first charge on the first section of the company's undertakings. The existing mortgage debts are to be converted into and exc h a nged for an equal sum in debentu re s t oc k, bearingthe sper cent. interest, thi s t o b e a second charge revenue of the first section. A sum of £69,890, due to the contractor of the line, is to be met by the issue to him or assigns so entitled of 6,000 ordinary shares of £lO each, fully paid up, and £19,800 debenture stock bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. All the existing debts of the company not provided for otherwise are to be covered by the creation of debenture stock bear ing interest at 5 per cent. The remaining portion of the scheme deals with the raising of new loan capital in order to construct and open for traffic the second section of the railway. The amount re quired is £200,000 (of which £106,600 is already authorised), and this sum the directors propose to raise by the issue of 10,000 ordinary and preference shares of £lO each, and £lOO,OOO debenture stock, bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent per annum. The scheme provides for the strict division of the earnings of each section of the railway, and for the application of the separate revenues to the liquida tion of each section's liabilities as set forth in the scheme. TENDRING HUNDRED. The half-yearly meeting of this company has been adjourned in consequence of the Court of Chancery having, on the application of a debenture-holder, appointed a receiver. The furniture of the Board room and various materials along the line are to be sold to-morrow (Friday) under an execution from, the Sheriff of Essex. The rolling-stock on the line could not be seized, as it belongs to the Great Eastern Railway Company, and is used by them to work the traffic. The Price of Gold. The course of exchange at New York on London for bil:s at 60 days' sight is about 109,{ per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States. the quotation of gold at Paris to about at par, and the short exchange on London is M. 17,t0. per LI sterling. On cJinparing- these rates with the English Mint price of LS 12s. bow. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about the same price in Parts and in London.

The attractions of the Spring Handicap, notwithstand ing the attendance, showed a marked falling off from that of the first day, although the weatller was more agreeable and the sport again good. The fields were considerable, the principal event of the meeting bringing out no loss than 15 starters, of which Leases was made the favourite. For tune, however, favoured the fielders, the winner of the big race being Vampire, an outsider. Pevensey, who was pe nalised for winning at Eastbourne, was second, two lengths in front of the second favourite; Muezzin, and the remain der of those backed, cut up very badly. The fist race of the day—the Innkeepers' Plato—for which 16 ran, was won easily by the top weight, Sei ingapatam, the favourite, Ventnor, never allowing prominently in the race. The following sweepstakes was a hollow affair for Mr. W. G. Bennett's Hammerton, who scored his, maiden win, and who, when brought out again later in the day for the He-- ter Skelter Handicap, was only just beaten, after a splen did race, by Traveller. But ye) y few bets were laid ou future events, and they presented no features of interest. The Innkeepers' Plate of 40 sovs. T.Y.C. (about 5 fur.) Mr. 'P.

The further cross-examination of Mrs. Lyon, the plaintiff, was proceeded with this morning. She said she never believed that Home was her son, and the reason that she wrote to hi►n calling him her son was because her husband's spirit told her he was his son. She never felt that Home was in reality her sou. She couldn't think so, because she had only seen the man three or four times. She could not give another reason for concluding her letter to defendant " Your loving mother" than that she must have been exceedingly stupid. (Laughter.) She could only say as an explanation to the many ridiculous things she had written that she was at a loss to imagine how she could have dono such ridiculous things. In all that she did to Home it was because her husband's , spirit told her that Daniel was her son. She had no affectionate feeling for Home's Eon, and she did not see any reason why she should entertain such a feel ing. She knew that Home's answer to the action was entirely false. She recollected once having had a vision. She once dreamed that her guardian angel appeared and showed her a loCk, and told her that none but her son could open it. She also saw in that dream a little boy which she had called her son. The boy opened the lock, and she told Home what had been done, and he said it could not have been so, as he was her son. She at once had a feeling that she was to have a son who was to be a superior being. The lock she had referred to Home told her was the lock of spiritualism—it was a very common• looking thing. The boy she had seeu in a dream addressed the people, but she could not tell now what he said. The profile of the boy was like that of her husband. She never recollected saying that Home was like the boy she had seen in her dream. She did not choose to tell her age—if it was required, it could easily be ascer tained. She never told anybody she should have done as much for Home as she had done had he not been a medium, as she so loved him. She con sidered Mr. Home a darling merely because she did not wish to act in opposition to the spirit of her husband. She was surprised now at many of the letters she had written ; . they were too loving by half to a man she had seen but so few times as she had Mr. Home. She recollected once giving him an empty purse, which formerly belonged to her husband, and when Home was at Malvern he wrote to her asking her to come down and stop with the Gullys. She thought she had better stop at home. She after wards had some recollection about writing a letter to Home, expressing great regret she did not fill the purse. In the letter she asked what money he then wanted; she sent him a cheque for £2O, but that was because he wrote to her for that amount. She never had any parti cular affection for Home; it was solely to please her husband's spirit, which had told her to love Daniel, as he was his son. She had done so solely in con sequence of that revelation, and that was the explanation of all the remarkable things she had written. When she wrote to him about the bright prospect he had before him, she meant the development of his spiritual gifts. She was not alluding to the change she had made in his worldly circumstances by her gifts. That was her deliberate opinion. She was, as she.-had said, alluding to his becoming powerfully spiritual, and nothing else. She had written many things that now. surprised her ; one of them was that she had signed herself Home's child'sgrandmother. Mrs.Clutterbuck was the first person that wrote to her about some money gift she had made to Home. She sent with it the newspaper containing the paragraph. The letter expressed a hope that the statement Was not true, because, if so, she must be under im proper influence. When Mrs. James Fel lows told her she was under improper in fluence she thought such was ridiculous, and that all was right at the time. She told Mrs. Fellows that in all she was doing she was acting in accordance with the direction of her husband's spirit. She spoke to others about the matter, but she told them all the same story, and which was the truth. She never contemplated leaving her lodgings at Mrs. Key's and taking a house ; she was certain of that. The letter just handed to her in her hand writing stated that such was her intention ; but for all that she never seriously entertained such an in tention. Mrs. Hall was continually teazing h er about leaving her apartments, as she did not think they were good enough for her. The case was not concluded when we went to press.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at 12 o'clock. BURIALS (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. MONSELL moved the second reading o f this bill tho object of which was to remove certain restrictions which at present existed in Ireland. By the law as it at present stood a Roman Catholic priest or Dissenting clergyman was prevented from performing the rites of burial in parochial churchyards without the consent of the incumb get, anl it was to do away with this practice that the bill was introduced. Mr. NEWDEGATE moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months, as it was but another step to be given to Roman Catholics t the detriment of the members of the Church of E egland. It was a measure in his opinion which was brought forward in the hope that the present state of iroland woul 1 prevent the house re fusing its assent on the ground that if it did se it might load to disturbance. Mr. O'BE[RNE sapportod th 3 soend reading of tho bill. Mr. BRUCE said the bill, although by Roman Catholics, was not pressed forward by them, but by the Protestant Dissenters. Ile hoped the bill would receivo th 3 s 'action of th 3 houss. After a brief discassioa Cho heti*, diridid, whoa tlcr,3 appeared— .

THE FENIAN TRIALS. (Continue,olfrom our First Elition of yesterday) To Mr. Baker Greene.—Had sail before Sir Thomas Henry thtt -William Desmond was very like the man who had fired the barrel. Also said the man who lighted the match had a red beard. At Millbank had said O'Neil was the man. To Mr. Baron Bramwell—Was sure that Barrett was the man. To the Lard Chief Justice—Saw that a reward was offered the Sunday after the explosion. Could not identify any one on the Saturday. It was after the reward was offered that he identiaed him, but had not thought anything about the reward. The evidenca of this witness was exciedingly contradictory, and it was only by a series of ques tions from the Lard Chief Justice and Mr. Baron Bramwell that his real meaning cauli be ascer tained. Thomas Wheeler, a boy 12 years of age, idea ified B trrett as the man who h%d lighted the squib in the barrel. By Mr. Baker Greene—When taken t 3 Bow-street was told to pick out the viva ha knew. He first turned away without recognising any one. To the Lord Chief Justice —The maq lightad the squib with a match. He struck two or three matches before he got a light. Had a thumb and finger blown off in the explosion. John S.nith, a lad nine years of age, gave evi dence to the same effect as the last two witnesses. The man who put the squib in the barrel came down the court, and the box from which he procured the match to light it was thrown to him across the road. The first sluib would not light properly, so the man threw it away, and witness picked it up. lie ran away, and the explosion shortly afterwards occurred. James Cape, warder in the House of Detention, was with the prisoners, amongst whom was Burke, at the time the men were exercised on the 12th of December. At a few minutes after four o'clock a white india-rubber ball was thrown i n to the yard from Corporation-lane. While Burke was in his charge, he was visited daily by the woman Barry. She - used to bring him food and underclothing, and take away his dirty clothing. It was his duty to examine the parcels carried in and oat. The Attorney-General was examining the wit ness as to something which he had discovered o one occasion in some stockings brought for Burke, when an objection to the evidence was taken by Mr. Baker Greene. The nature of the evi iencu wis my 13 known to th3LlnlChief Justice in writing, and having looked over the document, his Lordship said he, should wish to consult Mr. Baron Bramwell, who had left the bench. The Court then adjourned, the jury being locked up for the third night. THE FENIANS AT 13UCKINGH.131 PALACE. The following appeared in our Latest Edition of yeeterisy evening:— The two men who were apprehended on Monday undercertain suspicious circu instances were placed at the bar before Mr. Vaughan this afternoon, at Bow street Police-court. They gave th 3 naln3s of Edward Barry and Michael O'Keefe. They were charged with having in their pos session an explosive substance with iutent to com mit a felony. Police-sergeant Campbell said I am a sergeant in the police, and in accordance with directions from Inspector Williamson I went to Buckingham Palace about 8 o'clock on Monday night. I saw the two prisoners under very suspicious circumstances. O'Keefe had a basket on his shoulders. I asked him what he had got, and he said he did not know. I told him I should take him into custody when a scuffle took place, and he (Campbell) had to draw his revolver. The pri prisoner, O'Keefe, struggled very much. Langley took Barry into custody. The prisoner was told he had Greek fire with him, but he said he did not know what the hamper contained. The basket, it was found, had in it a tin can which would contain about two quarts of anything. Langley took Barry into custody after resistance. Inspector Williamson—l am an inspector of the detective police force. I despatched the two officers to watch the neighbourhood of Buckingham Palace. I gave directions for the prisoners to be taken into custody, and after that was done the hamper was taken to St. George's Barracks. The prisoners having been secured, the basket was opened and a tin box bound round with straw was found in it. I took the packet this morning along the Birdcage-walk in a cab when so much smoke at once came from it that water had to be procured to extinguish it. It ha sine?, hem placed in safe custody for examination. Mr. Vaughan—Do you know either of the prisoners ? Inspector IVilliam3on—Yes, sir. I know Barry to be a member of the Fenian Brotherhood, and I have now to ask for a remand, in order that the contents of the case may become known. Mr. Vaughan—Certainly. The prisoners are remanded. O'Keefe and Barry seemed to treat the matter with indifference, but on their being conveyed to the van at the close of the examination a great crowd which had collected in the froit of the court received them with hisses and groans.

(From Wilkes' Spirit of the Tines.) EDWIN BOOTH is thirty-eight years old by a Frodhaul stop-watch held over him from his start by his affectionate brother Junius Brutus Booth, the'lovely and accomplished husband of the dignified and athletic Agnes Perry. The watch is from Tiffany, who advertises in our columns. Edwin booth is till, lean, and has long black hair, sweep. ing down behind long white ears. His eyes are large, liquid, tender, expressive, and strongly reminds one of moons beaming o'er a lake. Wears good clothes when he isn't travelling, and has a secret grief not totally uncon nected with a young woman. Drinks tea, studies hard to make up for the time he lost in cutting up shines with umbrellas at fancy balls in San Francisco. Is worth say one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and is one of the most cultivated, unaffected gentlemen in "the profession.' Has been married, but wife is dead. Mr. Booth is not to blame for that, however—as usual. We regret to leant that Mr. Booth prefers Boston to New York. GEORGE BONIFACE is about thirty-five years of age, and looks as though ho was conscious that the eyes of Delaware were on him.' Ile is chiefly entitled to notice in these columns for having played Hamlet recently to an audience composed principally of the orchestra and the machinists of the theatre. Is not rich, but gets a good salary—when he can. Plays Sir William Wallace, the Hero of Scotland, with immense effect. His broadsword combats are gems of art, and he is much envied for his skill by "the profession." Is married to a sister of Miss Kate Newton, and we believo his domestic relations are as unruffled as the fair bosom of a silver lake on a still sum mer's day. Husband to be commended for that, as it is un usual. CH -morn CusmrAN is the original of Walter Scott's Meg Merrilies, and is a resident of Rome, Italy. She played throughout the United States until she had acquired about a hundred thousand in metallic currency, and then settled down in the Eternal City, built a house on the Rock of Ages, and inaugurated those charming conversaziones whose fragrant memories have been embalmed with the literiry remains of Horace Walpole and Charley Sumner. Miss Cushman is a woman of remarkable talent—bakes, brews, stews, sings, paints, sculps, embroiders, keeps her own bank-book, and, like Mrs. Fanny Komble-Pierce- Butler, keeps doing it bettor and better every year of her useful and well-regulated existence. She discovered the circulation of the blood by squeezing a young man's hand a good many years ago. His name was Harvey—hence the erroneous idea that Harvey made the discovery. Chemi cally considered, Miss Cushman is a success. She possesses ferruginous properties, which make her an exceedingly difficult woman to borrow money from. For that reason she has never been thoroughly popular in " the profession," and it is said that Garibaldi looks coldly upon her. Taking twenty as a representative number, Charlotte wears two parts of her own hair and eighteen of another woman's. When playing Meg Merrilies, the proportion of the other woman's is increased. Eats maccaroni with Parmesan cheese, .from a recipe given her by Aloe Stetson ; reads Emerson, and has inscribed on the panels of her coupe, "If the red slayer think, ho slays." Miss Cushman is not married—and for all this the men are to blame. Her post-office address is Rome, Italy, care of Cardinal Antonolll. BILLY BIRCH. is bald and fifty-six years of age. Lives on Washington Heights, next door to the New York. Herald, in which paper the S. P. Minstrels are daily ad vertised free gratis on account of the neighbourly feeling existing between tho Groat Hinnourist and the Great Misanthrope. Birch is of Turkish parentage, whence he dories many of those peculiarities which have made his photograph so common in young ladies' albums —smoking, sitting cross-legged, Oriental aversion to alc3holic stimu lants, and superhuman calmness while his personal pro perty is being destroyed by fire. Is four ft. high and three thick, but not iu the head. Ile e a rns about 61,000 week, which he is saving up to establish a H o me for Old . Ladies. Mr. Birch's costume in th e street is singularly quiet and modest. A broad-brinun P 41131113 hat, tastefuly set off with a pendent Bismarck ribbon; a blue coat,swallow-tailed, with d o uble-breasted violet vest , - worked withthreads of gold ; green p lu s h trousers ; Cho delicate braes plates; rokeo Mocca.sine, worked iu four colours ; a diamond cluster as big as a skillet ; white cotton gloves long in the fingers and short in the wrist, complete the unassuming attire of the famous minstrel. Mr. Birch is married, but doesn't mind it much. Drives a pair of bays and light trotting wagon, and drives theta tolerably well. Is ad dressed through the Personals' of the Herald as 'Montagu Mentressor.'
