GREAT INDIAN PENINSULA. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday at the offices in New Bond-street ; Mr. W. J. Hamilton, the deputy-chairman, presided. Mr. NICUOLSoN, the superintending director, read the report, an abstract of which appeared in The Sun, of yes- he fromrhoaTmi chairman t CHAIRMAN, omm obfa yt to company, in pn an n a i l y o b v : iowtoci servant g nhcmuot t v. e e easdslc:oot sbtfti hst adoption rtcohneftet hAi cenoopi the consequence the secretary, easelcenan r rqsyi report, p t, geaaa o nr i nnye • oftdde,, apologized for the absence of Lord Wharnclifili, the l r of ill health. The first portion of the line was opened, not a single accident had the line. Although they had had no accident on their w line, ho they was h a a dmlooss most efficient ebffiy o d i e e l a ; t t h they found it very difficult to fill his place. With regard to the number of persons conveyed on the line, it was very satisfactory, and far exceeded anything they had a right to expect. In the early calculations of traffic, lgoods were considered as the principal item of revenue, and the passenger traffic was not thought to be of any great importance. No goods traffic had as yet been brought on the line, and the working at pre sent was confined to passenger traffic. From the 17th of April, the day of opening the line, to the 4th of Septem ber, 154,000 passengers were conveyed on the line, which was 22 miles in length. The number of trains was two each day, and the average number of passengers per day was 1,100. This included a period of 20 weeks, during 14 weeks of which was the rainy season, a time when theco m n p : r ol a h t i e v r e l f y but ooffll during few persons ar og that period, travel, but and, of course, w o o l d aga considerably increase. The line was completed' up to Tannah, where they would have 'to cross an arm of the sea by means of a bridge, which was nearly completed. They expected to open the remainder of the line now under construction, from Tannah .to Callian, in about January next. The experimental line was to be ex tended 17 miles, from Callian to Shawpore, making a total length from Bombay of 50 miles. The section from Callian to Shawpore was divided into three contracts—one was let to an English contractor, and the other two to native contractors. It was proposed to extend the line from Callian, in a south east direction, to Poonah, and, in a north-east direction, from Shawpore to Kandeish and the great cotton districts. Some delay had taken place with regard to the proposed extensions, the lines for which had been surveyed—one by the Malsej Ghaut and the other by' the Bhore Ghaut, in consequence of the Government having determined to have the country re-surveyed, with a view to find better routes, and to form part of a gene ral system of railways for the whole of India. A me morial had been presented to the Government to carry a line from Shawpore, along the front of the Ghauts to Baroda, and thence into the cotton district. The pro- I j consideration , e ct was su bm i h t t e e d r e o t o o m L m o e r n d d e D d a l a h n o u e s x a i e , m a i n o d a , t i a o f a t e r o some f l the country. He entirely approved of the company's plans for carrying railways into the cotton districts, and for communicating with the Madras and other lines should they may be made. The Government had a great ob jection to ascending the Ghauts, as proposed, by steep gradients, and they were desirous of obtaining an easier route into Candeish and the cotton districts. He (the chairman) had no doubt that the extension line proposed by the company would be found the best that could be selected, and far preferable to that proposed by other persons, via Surat and Baroda. The climate was so bad in one part of the district towards Baroda that no European could bear it. With regard to the capital that would be required to com plete the experimental line from Calcutta to Shaw pore, they would not require more than 100,000/. be yond the 500,0001. already paid up, so that 1/. per share on the 100,000 new shares would be all they would re quire to call up, and the amount would be entitled to the same rate of interest as that guaranteed on the 500,0001., namely, 5 per cent. per annum. Mr. FRITS seconded the motion for the adoption of the report. Mr. FIELD said, it appeared from what the chairman had stated that it was not intended to call up the whole of the money on the new 51. shares, which he under stood were originally intended for the further extension of their line. The CHAIRMAN said, that I& per share was all they would require to complete the experimental line to Shaw pore, and the remainder would not be called for. The money required for the extension lines would be raised under a new contract, Mr. CRAWFORD said, he understood that the East India Company had agreed to guarantee 5 per cent. on 500,0001., and in case of money being required for any further extension, they were to guarantee the company 5 per cent. on a further sum of 500,0001., making the capital 1,000,0001., and upon which 5 per cent. would be guaranteed, but it now appeared that only a portion of the money was to be called up, and that required for the extension lines was to be raised at a lower rate of interest. Mr. FRANKLYN said, the contract with the company was to the effect that they should raise 1,000,000/. under a guarantee from the East India Company.of 5 per cent. per annum, and he hoped the directors had done nothing to alter it. (" No, no.") Mr. AYRTON, a director, explained that it appeared to him that as it was found desirable by the authorities to extend the line to the south-east and north-east, it was reasonable to expect, under the original contract, that they would call up the remainder of the second 500,000/. so as to complete the capital of 1,000,0001., at 5 per cent ; after which any further capital required for exten sions into the interior would be raised, as proposed, at 4t per cent. As to the 400,0001., which it was stated could not be called up, he considered it an open ques tion, and one to be decided in favour of the company whenever further capital became requisite for the exten sion of the railway. Mr. NICHOLSON said that no more capital would be required to complete the experimental line than had been stated. The whole matter was under the control of the East India Company, and, if they thought proper to relax the terms and to call up the remainder of the capital, they could do so. They could not pay any money into the bankers' of the East India Company without their consent. With respect to the matter in dispute, the chairman had stated a fact, and Mr. Ayrton had stated an opinion. Mr. RICHMOND considered that, according to the ori- ginal contract, the guarantee of 5 per cenCextended to the 1,000,0001. of capital. It was the duty of the direc tors to press the matter as much as possible on the authorities, as the shareholders had a clear right to the guarantee on the 400,0001. which it was now proposed not to call up. The CHAIRMAN said he could assure them that the directors had not neglected the interest of the share holders in any particular. It was intended by the di rectors of the East India Company that the rate of inte rest on further extension should not be more than 4 per cent. per annum. Mr. CRAWFORD suggested the omission of the words " experimental line" from the report. Mr. MooRE said that would be of no use. The only thing they could do would be to receive the report, and not adopt it. Mr. CRAWFORD said he entertained the most perfect confidence in the directors, and it was not with any wish to oppose them that he had suggested an alteration in the report. After Rome further observations, resolutions were passed, receiving the report of the directors, and adopt ing the statement of accounts. The meeting was then made special for the purpose of obtaining the sanction of the shareholders to the terms of a contract to be entered into with the East India Com pany, for the construction of the " extension lines," and for raising the capital necessary for the same. The CHAIRMAN explained, that the extension lines con sisted of one to the south-east from Callian to Poonah, and thence into the Sholapore cotton district, where it may unite with an extension of the Madras Railway, and another to the north-east into the Kandeish and Berar cotton-fields. The districts were now being sur veyed, and the Government authorities would decide on the course which the lines were to take after receiving the reports of the engineers as to the most eligible lines. It was proposed to issue shares, in the first instance to the extent of 1,000,0001. rateably among the proprietors under a guarantee of 4i per cent. per annum. He then read a correspondence with a view to show that the new capital for the extension lines would be independent of the capital for the experimental line. He concluded by moving a resolution authorising the directors to enter into contracts for the extension lines, and to raise the necessary capital. A long discussion then ensued, in the course of which it was contended that the public fully expected from the original agreement that the East India Company would guarantee 5 per cent. on 1 ,000,0001., should they extend the experimental line so as to require that outlay, and that any further amount that might be required to carry the railway into the interior would come under a fresh agreement. It was also thought advisable that the power of the directors to enter into contracts with the East India Company should be limited to some specified sum, but, as the raising of the money for further exten sions was at the option of the shareholders, it was con sidered unnecessary to restrict the directors in their negotiations with the East India Company. Mr. RICHMOND suggested that a rider should be added to the resolution to the effect, that the 1,000,0001., at 5 per cent., should be called up before raising any further capital. Mr. HESELDINE proposed an amendment, to the effect that the consideration of raising any further capital be deferred for six months. Mr. NICHOLSON, as a proprietor, would be sorry if such a resolution as that proposed by Mr. "Ckin depend should be adopted. The shareholders might upon the statement in the report, that would produce were to be taken to raise capital unless it produce a bonus to the shareholders. After some conversation Mr. Haeisseoldine withdrew withdrew his amendment, and the chairman motion. Mr. Moor proposed a resolution to the effect that the directors be authorised to enter into agreements or contracts with the East India Company for raising mo ney for the construction of extension lines to the south east and north-east of Callian, and to 11 extension shares for capital to the amount of 1,000,000 G. in r PRICIC SD. the first instance, and afterwards such further rim or sums as may be required, on terms to be sperzified in such contract, providing that the powers thus 'conferred on the directors be conditional on the East India Com- pally calling up the 1,000,0001. at 5 per cen l 6 . before the extension capital bo raised. Mr RICHMOND seconded the motion. After the rejection of an amendment by Mr. Field, to the effect " that such further Hunt • or sums ag may be required' be omitted from the resoiution," the motion was carried by :L large majority. Thc; proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. THE CHOLERA. ( From the General Board of Health.) SOHAM (CAMBRIDGESHIRE). Oct. 31.—Ten deaths from cholera, and two from diarrhoea, are reported as having occurred in this village since the 21st inst. Of the above, six from cholera, and one from diarrhoea, happened within the last 30 hours prior to the dispatch of the latest accounts. Upwards of 40 cases (some very severe in their character) occurred on the 30th alone. From 120 to 130 cases of choleraic diarrhoea are stated to have taken place in various parts of the district. Dr. Lewis has been directed by the Ge neral Board of Health to visit the locality immediately, to advise with the local authorities as to the adoption of precautionary measures.

FARTH—CARNWATH (LANARKSHIRE). Oct. 28.—Cholera (death) 1 PORTOBELLO (DIIDDINGSTON). The inspector of the poor of Duddingston has reported the outbreak of malignant cholera in the landward part of the above parish. One case (a -lad 7 years of age) ended fatally on the 28th inst. The father of the boy had been suddenly seized with vomiting and diarrhoea 3 days previously, but the worst symptoms had, at the last report, yielded to prompt treatment. Another member of the same family had also been attacked by the disease, though in a milder form. METROPOLIS. From returns made to the Commissioners of Metro politan Police by the Superintendents of the F, K, L, M, P, and R divisions of police, and transmitted yesterday to the General Board of Health, it appears that between the 18th and 28th instant, there have occurred in those districts 20 cases of cholera, of which 8 have resulted fatally. In one instance the patient died in thirteen and a half hours, and in another after only eight hours' ill ness. Five of these fatal cases had previously been reported as being under treatment. The report of the Board gives a detailed account of the cases of cholera which have occurred at Brentford, but which vary little from the accounts already pliblished in regard to other parts of the metropolis. The predispos ing causes were neglect of proper sanitary precautions. Taken altogether, there are few places which stand more in need of sanitary improvement than Brentford, and which would be more benefited by the adoption of the Public Health Act. A few days ago some particulars were made known by a local committee of the existing state of dwellings at Black heath, in a locality naturally very healthy. Another com mittee, formed of a number of the guardians of the poor and the inhabitants of the parish, on making a house-to house examination with the Rev. H. H. fSwinny, perpetual curate of Mortlake, gave the following examplification of the condition of much house property in another sub urban district in a site also naturally very healthy. It would appear that there is an almost universal negli gence about keeping down accumulation of sewage. Not less than sixty privies were found nearly full ; in some cases the soil was actually up to the boards, and oozing through the sides. As many as twenty cesspools were found full to overflowing ; large pools of stagnant filth, consisting of soap-suds, drainage from the cottages, and even from-pigsties, heingleft *noosed, and throwing off most noxious gases, to.be inhaled by the neighbouring inhabitants. In very many cases the drains which exist are either actually open or very ineffectually, if at all, trapped. In some instances pigsties are in use in close yards, near dwelling-houses, with most imperfect circu lation of air. Everywhere ash heaps are allowed to re ceive decaying vegetable and animal matter, without apparently any idea that the air is thoroughly poisoned by the process of their fermentation. As hitherto, there has been no escape for sewarage ; nowhere does there exist any system of cleansing or flushing drains, and no where is it customary to use disenfectmg precautions where manure or other accumulations are being re moved. In many cases it has been found that the in habitants cannot drink the water from the pumps or wells in their neighbourhood. Sometimes it is offensive to the smell and taste, sometimes turbid. This may in several instances be accounted for by the proximity of the cesspool, or from the ground near the well being ab solutely saturated with the drainge from manure heaps, &c. The soil in this neighbourhood, being generally gravel or sand, admits of the rapid percolation of any fluid matter. AMENDMENTS OF THE LAW OF LIINAOY.—Two acts o Parliament come into operation this day, which, with a third in operation on Saturday, will make some impor tant alteration in the law of lunacy. They were brought forward by Lord St. Lonards, and received the Royal assent shortly before the prorogation. The first is en titled "An Act for the Regulation of Proceedings under Commissions of Lunacy, and the Consolidation and Amendment of the Acts respecting Lunatics, so found by Inquisition, and their Estates." This act, which contains 153 provisions, took effect on Saturday. The second statute is "To Amend an Act passed in the Ninth Year of the Reign of her Majesty for the Regulation of the Care and Treatment of Lunatics," which comes into force to-day, containing 40 clauses ; as also the third act, "To Consolidate and Amend the Laws for the Provision and Regulation of Lunatic Asylums for Counties and Boroughs, and for the Maintenance and Care of Pauper Lunaticd in England." This act contains 136 clauses. By the first act the delays and expenses of proceedings under commissions de lunatico inquirendo will be dimished, and the per centage on the incomes of lunatics will be gradually and equitably charged. The fees on commissions, which are to be issued under a general commission, will be greatly reduced. Unless indispensably necessary, the Masters in Lunacy may in quire into the alleged insanity of a party without the intervention of a jury. Under the second act Bethlem Hospital is to be registered, and subjected to regulations like other hospitals ; and all workhouses where there are lunatics are to be visited. All persons ill-treating luna tics are to be punished, and patients are to be frequently visited. The third act has reference to lunatic asylums. Accommodation is to be afforded to pauper lunatics, and the Secretary of State can require counties to prepare such places. By this act wandering lunatics may be ap prehended and taken care of ; and lunatics not under proper care, orl cruelly used, are to have an asylum. Further, it is enacted that every pauper lunatic not in an asylum, registered hospital, or licensed house, is to be visited once a quarter, and lists of such lunatics are to be sent to the Commissioners in Lunacy. These acts of Parliament may be regarded as a codification of the law of lunacy. They relate to a number of persons in licensed houses, asylums, and hospitals. THE WALRUS.—A scientific gentleman here (Wick) has favoured us with the following extract from a letter, received by him from a friend in Peterhead :—" I have little news here to give you of strange matter, excepting the arrival, per the Commerce, Henry, from Spitzbergen, of a young stranger, in the shape of a walrus, or sea horse all alive and healthy. They brought two away. a male and female, both young—the male was killed somehow. It was the practice to give them a bath daily, by putting them overboard with a rope round them, and it was thought the male had struck himself against the ship while under water, as he came up dead. The other is to be sent to one of the Zoological Gardens in London or Edinburgh. The pleasure I had in looking at this curious, ugly, but very likeable creature was mixed with regret that you were not present to see it too. I bad seen many pictures of them, but never felt before how inadequate any picture is to give any one a correct idea of (not the form) but the manners and customs of an animal they never saw. It is in vain for me to try to describe it ; but the first thing that struck me was the illustration it affords of the sliding of one species of ani mal into another dissimilar ; for no two animals can be more unlike than a fish and a cow, yet this one is like each, and it is difficult to say which it is most like. I had a notion that the walrus was a ferocious brute, but this creature is gentle and affectionate, answers to the name of Toby, and knows the voice of the captain and mate, whom alone it will obey and follow like a dog. On the voyage home it fed on the fat of pork chiefly ; now it gets fish, limpets, and mussels, which it sucks in with great gusto. It gives a short loud grunt, something be tween the snort of a hofse and the grunt of a pig, in reply to the captain when he speaks to it. On my visit to it, I put my face to see its expression, and it turned round to me with as much seeming intelligence as a collie dog, to see what I had to give it or say to it, and when it got its mouth close to my leg, it seemed con tented,—John o'Groat Journal.

Lord Clarence Paget, whose appoint ment to the command of the 91-gun screw-ship Princess Royal, at Portsmouth, we gave a week since, was born on the 17th of June, 1811, is eldest son of Field-Marshal the Marquis of Anglesey, K.G., G.C.8., by his second wife, Lady Charlotte Cadogan, sister of Rear-Admiral Earl Cadogan, C.B.

Hodgkin son of the Desperate, 8, screw, Devonport, and P. Johnston, of the Sidon, 22, steam-frigate, Portsmouth, has been effected. The depot-ship Saturn, at Pembroke, Captain Super intendent Sir Thomas Pasley, Bart., is to be paid off and re-commissioned. A good sea-going screw-ship would be more suitable for this port. The steam-tender Lightning, at Woolwich, is to be sent to Port Royal as a tender to the Imaum, depot ship, to supply the place of the Alban. Frolic, 12, Commander Nolloth, is to relieve the Fan tome, 12, Commander Gennys, on the New Zealand and Australian station, the Juno, 26, Captain S. Fremantle, as we have before stated, relieving the Calliope, 26, Captain Sir J. E. Home, Bart., C.B. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 31. We presume heavy gales and seas have only been an ticipated as likely to visit this port on Wednesdays and Saturdays, as the steamboat which we reported yester day as having been granted to attend the officers and. liberty men in the fleet at Spithead is only ordered to be at their disposal on those days. The ridiculous nature of such a concession was fully exposed to-day. A strong sea, with a stiff adverse wind, has been running all the morning. Numbers of sailors, many of them drunk, have been on liberty (from yesterday) ashore, mostly congregating at Point, to the annoyance of the inhabi tants and the stoppage of business near. There was no steamer to take them to Spithead this morning, and their own boats, we suppose, could not weather it, so they remained ashore hours after they ought to have been aboard their respective ships. There were also three or four launches, full of dockyard artificers, struggling to get out to work on the Duke of Wellington, Arrogant, and other ships at Spithead. Those who ought to have been on board at work by seven o'clock were struggling with the adverse waves at twelve ; and we do not think they will all get aboard to their work before two. At 4.30 is their time for " knocking off" and coming ashore again. Now, calculate the time and labour and their value lost to the Government in such a single morning s work as this, and then calculate the consumption of coal as the chief cost of employing the port tug or any of the tenders to place these sailors and labourers on board their respective ships to their time, and we think the Crown side of the account will look rather ridiculous, and afford good ground for grumbling by those who grudge the amount voted for the navy estimates. And this state of things will certainly continue " for the time to come," as it has done from " time immemorial," unless the debtor and creditor view of the case is taken at DIRECT SOUTHERN. A meeting of parties interested in this scheme was held at Hastings yesterday, to consider the propriety of supporting a project for shortening the distance between Hastings and London. The Mayor of Hastings presided. Mr. HALY explained, that the promoters of the Direct Southern Railway proposed to construct a direct line from London as far as Tunbridge, at which place it would join th e H as ti ngs b ranc h o f th e South-Eastern Railway, and convert it at once into a trunk line. An hour would thus be saved in the journey between the latter place and London. The proposed line would cross the Thames over a new bridge, to be erected between Black friars and Southwark bridges, passing to the Elephant and Castle, and embracing stations at Kennington-com mon, Camberwell New-road, Herne-hill, and Dulwich, whence a short branch would convey passengers to the Crystal Palace by the shortest route out of London. The important villages of Beckenham and Bromley, and the beautiful district of the Cray Valley would also be served by the proposed scheme, which would pass through the Shotham Valley to Sevenoaks, and thence to Tunbridge, where it would cross the South-Eastern by a viaduct, and join the present Hastings branch. The estimates of the anticipated traffic showed the most re markable results. From the Elephant and Castle to ' Tunbridge, taking the distri c t f or one mile on either side, the proposed Line would be found to serve a population considerably larger than was traversed by all the other railways out of London, for the same distance, put to gether ;in fact, it had an excess of 81,000. He con tended that the scheme was of vital importance to Has tings, which ought to endeavour to attract the London merchants to make it a place of residence for their fami lies,_ as Brighton had already done. Mr. ROBERTSON, M.P., proposed a resolution, to the effect that great benefit would result to the inhabitants of Hastings and the owners of property in the district from the formation of the proposed line of railway from the Thames, at Bankside to Tunbridge, by which Hast ings and London would be put in direct communication with the metropolis. Mr. A. BURTON seconded the motion, which was carried. Resolutions were passed in favour of supporting the scheme ; and after a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting separated. MIDDLESBOROUGH AND GUISBROUGH. This line, ten miles in length, is t:1);;;;Iied for the carriage of goods and minerals on the sth. The arrange ments for passenger traffic are not yet completed. DIRECT PORTSMOUTH. The works have been commenced at Petersfield, and a large number of men are employed on the Buriton tunnel, which, it is expected, will occupy them five months. The only engineering difficulty is a swamp at Haslemere. EAST KENT. The works on this line have been commenced in the neighbourhood of Faversham. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

The sittings of the court for the October adjourned Quarter Session were resumed at the Guildhall, West minster, by adjournment from Clerkenwell, before Mr. Sergeant Adams, assistant-judge, Mr. Witham, Mr. Dodd, and Mr. Turnley. There were 67 prisoners for trial, 69 for felony, and 8 for misdemeanour. Beery James, a gentlemanly young man, was in dicted for stealing a Bank note for the payment of 101., the property of Sir Samuel Scott, Bart., and another, his employers. He pleaded guilty. The facts of the case were these :—The prisoner was a clerk in the banking house of Scott-and Co., No. 1, Cavendish-square, and it was part of his duty to make entries in the waste-book of the various sums of money paid in by customers. A sum in bank notes was paid in on the 31st of August, by Mr. Johnson, hosier, of Ox ford-street, and one of them was the note with stealing which the prisoner stood charged, and which he ab stracted from the parcel. He was discharged on the sth of September, and on the 15th he went to No. 9, Thavet-place, Burton-crescent, to see a young woman named Helen Morrell, whom he was in the habit of visiting, and after being there some time he asked the landlady to get him change for a 10/. note, which she did, the name of Lewis, 56, Harley-street, being en dorsed upon it. He sent for a bottle of wine and a dozen cigars, and after remaining some time he went away, but returned at nine o'clock at night, when he took Miss Morrell out. After remaining out some time they returned, and he stopped all night. The landlady got the not changed at a butcher's shop, and it was traced, through the hands of Lord Calthorpe's house keeper, to a milliner at Knight'sbridge. The prisoner was apprehended by Daniel Forrester, at his father's house in Bulstrode-street, on the 29th September ; and, on being confronted with the lanelady of the house in Thanet-place, and asked if she had not got change for a 101. note for him, he denied that she had done so, but he afterwards admitted to the officer that she had. Mr. Huddlestone appeared for the prisoner, who he said had borne a very good character up to the present time. He had been tempted to make free with a 101. note, the property of Messrs. Scott, his employers, but he had since given them information which might prove of service. Mr. Bodkin, who was instructed for the prosecution, confirmed this. The Assistant-Judge said this was a very serious case, a robbery by a banker's clerk ; but, after what had been stated, the Court would pass a very merciful sentence. He then sentenced the prisoner to six months' hard labour. BARNET SESSIONS.—Oct. 31. Henry Augustus Hope, a gentlemanly-looking elderly man, residing in Surrey-terrace, Old Kent-road, who for some years past has carried on an extensive business as hay salesman in Smithfield, was charged with having embezzled the sum of 40t. and upwards, the monies of the Barnet Hay Association, his masters. Mr. Robinson, for the association, made a long state ment in which he alleged that the prisoner had had the management of the association's affairs, and that his defalcations amounted to above 1,300/. Mr. Norton, the prisoner's solicitor, did not object to a remand, as he stated he had a complete answer to the charge. Mr. Robinson said he had no objection to good bail being taken for the prisoner. Mr. Norton said the association had 3001. of priso ner's in their bands, and sureties for 6001. more. After some discussion bail was taken, the prisoner in 3001. and two sureties each in 1001. THE LATE BRUTAL OUTRAGE AND MURDER. --- James McDowell was charged with having been con cerned with several other persons now in custody with having perpetrated a most revolting outrage upon the person of an aged woman named Rebecca Brogden, from the effects of which she died. The facts have been several times given, and the pri soner, who had been apprehended a short time back al Rotherham, was remanded. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL.—Mary Travers, a middle-aged female, was charged with creating a disturbance i n St. Bartholomew's Church, Moor-lane, during Divine ser- vice. James Stevens, a verger of St. Bartholomew's Church, said the prisoner on Sunday evening l as t came into church, and during the delivery of the sermon shouted out at the top of her voice and abused the minis ter in the most disgusting language, calling the congre gation a set of hypocrites, an d the otinister a preacher of lies. Several members of t hngregation were frightened at the awful language She made use of, and hastily quitted the church. Witness removed her, and disorderlay c con. on ultimately gave her into custody. therefore The prisoner said sh e was drunk, and did not kno w how she got into the e h r rch, Sir R. W.

He ran away with the wife of a licensed victualler (who subsequently committed suicide by hanging himself.) Applicant had not seen or heard of her husband ever since, and she was left in great distress with her children. Mr. Corrie said he had read something of the affair in the newspapers, and inquired what parish they re sided in. She replied St. Andrew's, Holborn. Mr. Corrie—Then you ought to apply to that parish. Applicant —I have done so, your worship.

The complainant, a slender female, wh'irdhadA ce i v ig a severe w oun d on h er nose , sa id s h e was passing along the Back r oa d, S t. G eorge -i n -th e E as t, on Sunday even ing, soon after eight o'clock, when she was met by the prisoners, and M'Carthy, without saying a word, and without receiving the least provocation whatever, struck her a tremendous blow on the bridge of the nose with his clenched fist, and at the same time tripped her up with his leg. She fell heavily on the ground and became insen- Bible, in which condition she renmined some time. The back of her head and elbow were injured, and there was a swelling on both. She bled for some time from the nose, and had been under medical treatment. Mary Adams, a respectable married woman, was with the last witness, and confirmed her statement, in every respect. Directly her friend was struck she went up to M'Carthy and attempted to catch hold of him, when be struck het on the cheek, and was about to hit her again, when a policeman came up and seized him. William Cockerell, a police constable, No. 266 K, was talking to a gentleman and saw the prisoners and another man coming down the Back-road, They were all rather tipsy. The women were walking along in the most quiet manner, when M'Carthy struck one of them. She fell as if she had been bit with a shot from a gun, and bled profusely. The other two Irishmen stood laughing at her, and 111`Ca,rthy tried to get away. He seized him and was leading him away, when Burke came up and laid hold of him, and tried to drag him away. A scuffle ensued and all three fell. His hat was knocked off, and a gentleman picked it up and gave it him. He then secured 111`Carthy, and was leading him away, when a person called to him, " Look out, he has got a stone," and h e saw Burke advancing towards him with a large stone in his hand. Fortunately at that moment a police sergeant and constable made their appearance, and Burke was taken into custody. He afterwards ascertained that M'Carthy had previously knocked down one or two other women in the street. The assault on the complainant Dungey was the most cowardly and wicked thing he ever saw in his life. The prisoners made a long rambling defence, and said. they were very tipsy, and if the women were struck they did not know the reason why, and then said the women were not struck at all. Mr. Ingham said if the prisoner McCarthy had com mitted such a violent assault on the young woman in his sober senses, he should have concluded that he did it from malicious motives, and should have passed a very severe sentence upon him. As it was he should not pass a light punishment. He was astonished how any one could have committed such a brutal assault even when drunk. He sentenced McCarthy to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for one month for the assault upon the complainant Dungey, and that Burke should pay a fine of 10s. for the attempted rescue. LAMBETH.—PhiIip Grinnell, a wheelwright, who stood remanded on a charge of cutting and wounding with intent to murder Elizabeth Grinney, his wife, at their residence, 35, Park-street, Kennington, on Mon day the 24th ult., was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, for further examination. It being intimated to the magistrate that the wife of the prisoner had not sufficiently recovered from the effects of the wounds in flicted by the prisoner to enable her to leave Guy's Hos pital, and attend at this court to give evidence, the 11,risoner was formally remanded till to-morrow week. THE WAGES' MOVEMENT. PRESTON, OCT. 31. Notwithstanding the closing of mills in the districts from which pecuniary, assistance has hitherto been de rived, the amount received by the Weavers' Committee yesterday was about the same as last week, viz., 1,7501. Although the number of unemployed has been increased by 1,000 since the last pay day, it was resolved to dis tribute 4s. per head, as before, the week's expenditure under other heads being curtailed to the extent of about 1301. This morning from 10,000 to 12,000 operatives assembled in the Orchard, when Mr. Walton was called upon to preside. • Mr. COWELL spoke chiefly on the municipal elections, urging his hearers to exert themselves to oust every cotton lord from the council-chamber. Referring to the Wigan riot, the speaker said he was very sorry the Wigan people had no more sense than to resort to a system of wholesale levelling. There was no sense in working people collecting together and destroying the property they had produced. The property never did them any injury ; it was the men who held the property that were the tyrants. Let them respect property and life, and by proceeding in a peaceable, orderly, and quiet manner, they might rely upon the struggle termi nating in their favour. Mr. GRIMSHAW argued that the operatives were jus tified in their present struggle, because the manufac turers promised that when trade revived (and when we had lately had every evidence of prosperity) they would restore the 10 per cent, taken off the wages of their hands in 1847. Mr. WALTON challenged the manufacturers to meet one or more members of the operatives' committee to discuss the question at issue ; and if the former could prove that the demands of the hands were unreasonable and exorbitant, and - that the state of trade would not admit of their giving the required advance, he had no doubt the leaders of this - movement would retreat until a more favourable opportunity. Mr. GRIMSRAW moved the following resolution : " That this meeting pledges itself to use all the legal and peaceable means in its power to return to the Town Council to-morrow the friends of the working classes." Mr. BROWN seconded the resolution, and it was car ried. unanimously ; as also was the annexed :—" That this meeting pledges itself at all times to support the au• thorities of Preston in maintaining peace and order." After several rounds of cheering - for Blackburn and Is allies, for their liberal contributions, the vast mul titude dispersed. THE WIGAN RIOT. The many people town was perfectly were erfect nt at theevening.ly p q r u e i s e e tuptolast plea surefair, A good which yesterday succeeded the cattle fair, but the pur chasers were mostly country people, a great portion of the townsfolk being too mu c h impoverished by the strike to lavish their money as they always do on such occa uthnreeaasten p h si a e o a v n c i s i g sh h T o e u h e l n e d r h e again be dis Y t . urbed, e i a s r d an t o fe e li n g someprevalent v o a f l e thent lest eol l i t e h r s e have l d y i e e r t s taken as a place. t There more serious disturbances tt than a t n h the s osour ce of security, " but," said a are people who point collier, who was talking one of these, " the colliers as a body are too ignorant ° and uninformed to calculate the risks of such a i collison ; a thousand s t rong able bodied m en m i g h t be cho sen from them who would do much mischief before they could be stopped, and that is all at present they think of." The prisoners taken ' on Friday night were brought before the magistrates at the Town-hall, at 11 o'clock, but the only evidence taken had reference to the riot generally, and no special evidence was given implicating them. The witnesses examined were Edward Birchall, police-officer in charge of the police office on Friday night, and Mr. Part, the clerk to the magistrates. The accounts given by these witnesses bear out all the princi pal statements already given, but Birchall gave more minutely the details of demonstrations made by the mob at the commencement of the riot, in front of the Town hall and of the Royal Hotel, where it appears that many stones were thrown at the police, in volleys, before they were driven from the front of the mob. The prisoners were remanded until Wednesday. Should the peace be preserved until to-day (Tuesday), the municipal elections may be expected to cause a good deal of excitement. All candidates for the town council obnoxious to the turn-outs will, of course, excite strong feelings should they be successful. WIGAN, MONDAY NIGHT. There has been an attack on the sawmills, where the Welsh colliers were lod g ed, at the colliery f Earl Bal carres, to-night. The people in charge fired, and a man is supposed to be wounded, or killed ; he was carrird off by the mob. The soldiers were called out from Wigan, but the mob had dispersed immediately after the shot. WARNING TO BOYS USING PISTOLS.--Last ral youths were amusing themselves near twheeekWseel Welsh bridge, in this town. by firing a pistol which they had on it was very mounted on a rude stock.

ATTEMPTED HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—We understand that another daring " cavalier" has been pursuing his perilous calling • in the neighbourhood of Brockley ; for on Saturday evening last as Mrs. Ford, of Nailsea, was returning with some other women from market in her cart, when on this side of Brockley Combe, a fellow rode up and stopped the vehicle, by calling out to the women, and as a means of enforcing hig mandate, firing a ball into the tilt of the cart. He then demanded their mo ney, but the women began shouting, so the fellow, scared by the noise, took to his scrapers. It is conjec tured to be the same fellow who robbed Mr. Hamlin on Thuriday night.—Bristol Times. DISMISSAL OF PROFESSOR MAURICE BY THE COUN CIL KING'S COLLEGE.—A painful sensation was created at King's College on Saturday morning, by an announce ment on the part of Dr. Jeif, the principal, that Pro fessor F. D. Maurice's lectures en ecclesisastical history would be discontinued. It is understood that Mr. Maurice has been definitively removed from his chair by the council of the college, in consequence of the doubts respecting his orthodoxy suggested by a volume of "Theological Essays," recently published by the rev. and learned ex-professor. The students of all depart ments, however, have taken up the matter very warmly, and will no doubt make a strong demonstration in favour of Mr. Maurice. The greatest excitement pre vails in the college, and expressions of indignation and regret are beard on all sides. ..-----°-- Li sa, ~1 1" £ ity LI-
