A special meeting of the proprietors of this company was held to-day at the Waterloo-station, for the purpose of empowering the directors to apply to Parliament for a bill sanctioning the arrangements made last session for working the traffic of the line from Wimbledon to Ep som ; far concluding the arrangements for a lease with the Salisbury and Yeovil Railway Company;for acquiring some additional land at Exeter, in connection with the Yeovil and Exeter extension line ; for constructing a branch railway to Topsham for connecting tha railway to Exmouth, exclusively with the South-Western system, and for authorising a junction between the main line at Northam, and the Southampton and Dorchester line, and also for the purchase of several small plots of land for improving the station accommodation on various parts of the line, —W. Chaplin, Esq., in the chair. The advertisement calling the meeting having been read, The SzcaeTenv (L. Crombie, Esq.) read the report, which has already appeared in The Sun. The CHAIRMAN, in asking the approval of the meeting to the points mentioned above, said the report mentioned no less than nine small requests ; to some of them the shareholders had already given their assent ; and the reason of the present meeting was, that as they were unable to comply with the standing orders last session, it became necessary to make fresh application. The Salisbury and Yeovil Rail way was proceeding vigorously ; and although they had concluded a lease for a time it was desirable the agreement should be regularly completed, and thereby prevent the inconve nience arising to either parties. The report next stated that there were various small plots of land which it was desirable, for the sake of economy, the company should acquire ; so he did not think that that would occasion any discussion. These plots would be pur phased without the necessity of an act of Parliament, but it was thought the best and wisest course to purale to have the authority of an act of Parliament. The branch to Topsham was the most important, as by its means a vast amount of seaborne commodities woull be brought upon the South-Western. The inhabitants of Topsham were about to make a line to join the South Devon, but immediately the South-Western project was announced, they instantly abandoned their original in teation and embraced it. The South-Western Company have agreed to work the line from Topsham to Exeter at 50 per cent, per annum—the cost of the line will be about 50,0001. The Chairman concluded by moving that the report just read be received and adopted, that the proceedings of the directors be approved, and that the necessary powers be given for application to Parlia ment. 81 Count ETRE seconded the motion. In answer to a shareholder, the Chairman said, in making the proposed railway, there was no intention of entering into a rivalry with the broad gunge iiyatem. A. short discussion ensued with respect to the advisa bility of making the Topsham project, which ended in an amendment, moved by Mr. Fooks and seconded by Mr. Campion, being proposed, viz.—" That that part of the report respecting the Topaham extension be not agreed to." The amendment was put to the meeting and negatived, and the original motion for agreeing to the report was then agreed to, and, after the usual compliment to the chairman, the procedings terminktsd. LAW INTELLIGENCE.— k This Day.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENOIT. Lord Camplot-11, on taking his seat on the bench this morning, stated that in consequence of the long list of causes entered for the Guildhall sitting, it would be necessary to open a second eaurt. To. , norrow morning Mr. Justice Erie will preside in the second court, and continue sitting until the list was disposed of. No case of interest had occured up to the time of our despatch lei I leaving. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. :Before lir. Baron Bramwell and a Common Jury.) The Court was occupied in hearing a case relative to the purchase of a quantity of timber, of no interest but to the parties concerned. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings at Guildhall, Nisi Prius.—Mtforo Mr. Justice Crowder and a Common Jury), ATKINSON V. ALLEN. This was an action to recover the amount realised for certain goods sent to the defendant's sale-room for sale by public auction. It appeared from the plaintiff's evidence, a publican, proprietor of the Horns Tavern, Fetter-lane, that in March, 1856, he sent a quantity of hounehol 1 furniture to the defendant's for sale. The articles cast about 1001. ten years sinoe, and he valued them, when sold, worth about 501. The goods were partly sold at two sales, and the remainder had not been returned to him, After the sale he met the defendant one day in Oxford-street, and asked him for an account and to settle with him. He said the goods had only realised 141. or 151•, and offered plaintiff 81. on account. He refused to take it, and plaintiff had been unable to obtain a settlement, The defendant, who did not defend the action, had paid 71. 103, into Court as the sum realised by the sales. The jury returned a verdict for 15/., including the 71. 10a. paid into Court. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE HALL. The bankrupt was described as of Alberuarle.street, Piccadilly, poulterer, and now came up for his certificate. Mr. Jones appeared for the assignees, and said that the creditors generally were exceedingly well satisfied with the bankrupts conduct, and as far as they were at liberty to express an opinion they considered it a case in which they might recommend that the certificate should be of the first class. Mr. Park, for the bankrupt, said, that after the observations of the solicitor to the assignees he had little to say, except that the bankrupt had been forced into the court through one creditor, for a small amount, putting in an executi on ; and had it not been for that, the bankrupt would have been enabled to pay 203. in the pound, but even as it was, the dividend would reach Hs. in the pound. His Honour observed that in 1856 the bankrupt could not take up two bibs. It was time they were smaller in amount; but he ought to have called his creditors to gether immediately. Mr. Pook said there was no pressure by the creditors, and the bankrupt hoped that he would rrtrieve himself during the "London season." His Honour said that the only faot against the bank rupt was that he had not placed himself in the hands of his creditors when he found himself involved, and bad their opinion as to the propriety of his going on; he could, therefore, only gr an t a certificate o f th e secon d class. IN RIC PASSIIO3IE. This bankrupt was described as of King-street, Smith field, licensed victualler, and came up for his certificate which was granted of the second class without opposi tion.

THE SUN, LONDON, THITRSDAV EVENING, D;EiCEMBER 10, 18'57. THE INDIAN MUTINY. "Further papers" (No. 5) relating to the In dian Mutiny have been just laid before Parlia ment and printed. These papers cover a space of some 100 pages, and consist exclusively of formal letters from the Governor-General of India to the Court of Directors of the East India Com pany, enclosing copious local details of events already known, the dates of the narratives ex tending from the 15th of August to the 7th of October last. We gather from a perusal of these papers, that it was found necessary repeatedly to censure the Commissioner of Patna for the meagreness and unsatisfactory nature of his reports and the repeated non-fulfilment of his reiterated promises to furnish detailed information of import ant acts and events, many of which are to the pre sent hour unexplained ;" for his keeping the Go vernment completely in the dark as to the grounds and intentions of some acts of a very questionable nature, and for his general gross inattention to the directions of the Lieutenant-Governor to keep him au courant of every event of moment. The Col lector of Chuprah was censured for quitting his post unnecessarily, and for the exhibition of a discreditable degree of pusillanimity The rising at Patna on the 3d of July is thought to have been of a purely religious character the cry of " Deen, deen," w as ra i se d , and the property of the Catholic mission was destroyed, but was nothing stolen or removed. The Burkun danzes (in the Burdwan division) are stigmatised as hopeless cowards, utterly useless for protective purposes. The Sikhs of Soree behaved remarkably well, and volunteered their aid most freely and gallantly. It is stated that at Patna a plot was life for months before the revolt, and that money was distributed and men regularly paid to excite the people to fight " for religion and the Padi shah of Delhi," while the letters found in Peer Ali's house disclosed an organised Mussulman plot to re-establish Mussulman supremacy and to overthrow the British Government. The Patna rising was directed (as it is thought) from Oude. On the 30th of June the Lieutenant-Governor sub mitted to the Government a proposal for the im provement of the police of the lower (Bengal) pro vinces, and on the 17th of July his minute was (in the district of Behar) partially carried out. In the Patna division there was a "religious" diffe rence between the Mahomedans and Sepoys a 3 to the day for the outbreak of the revolt, the Dinapore mutineers wishing for Sunday, and the Mahome dans for Friday, their own sacred day, which latter was selected. The abandonment of the out stations in the Behar division (in the last week of August) under instructions from the Commissioner of Patna, Mr. Taylor, was strongly disapproved, and censured as " disgraceful" by the Government, and it is further stigmatised in these papers as an " unfortunate, unnecessary, ill-judged, and per haps disastrous step." In the case of Gya, it was " utterly without excuse or palliation," and the Commissioner was at once instructed to revoke his orders. Mr. Taylor was, in the sequel, removed from his post. The courage and good conduct of Messrs. Money and Hollings at Gya ate warmly acknowledged. The gallant defence of the garrison of Arrah comes in for a fair share of notice ; it is of course anticipated by past reports. Captain Sissmore's strange flight from Chytbassa, which was then left to the protection of the Rajah, is de nounced as " derogatory and unnecessary," so much so that his services were placed at the dis posal of the Commander-in-Chief, and he subse quently resigned his civil appointment. The Rajah of Doemraon, in spite of his protestations, is lcokei upon as a " time-server," and he was to be clo_ely watched. On the 16th of August a fellow calling himself the " Bishop of Bagdad," but whose real name is Sped Hossein Shubber, was lodged in the gaol of Calcutta. His letters and paper 3 proved that he was connected with the ex-King of Oude and his Minister Ali Nukke3 Khan. Tha prisoner forth with prayed the Government to inquire into his case. A large sum of money, with trinkets, was found on his person. The Mahomedan Associa- t:en at Calcutta behaved admirably during the late Moburrutn, and forwarded a loyal address ti Government at its close. Mr. Horne, the col lector and magistrate of Azimghur, ha s been cen sured for his want of energy in allowing the bead station to be insulted for days by a rabble of armed insurgents. Ho was to bo replaced by a better man. There isa short correspondence between the Govern went of India and the Company on the subject of the late press law, which the Company appears to have approved without entering into the general question of the freedom of the press in India. The late Etucessc s at Delhi and Lucknow aro briefly alluled to in a despatch of the 7th of October, as to be noticed in the " Military Department." Such are a few of the more S. ali+ - 2nt features of these papers, which generally refer to matters of local detail. MESSRS OVEREND, GURNEY, c 47 CO. (Front the limes' City Artiale.) The following has been received from Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co.:— " Lombard-street, Deo. 9. Sir,—The observations in your City Article this day relating to our house render it incumbent on us to make a reply, and we are glad of the opportunity of doing so as most unfounded misrepresentations have been in circulation upon the subject. " We may state, then, briefly that we did not ask the Bank for any more than we absolutely required on the 12th ult. to meet the extraordinary demand arising from the failure of Messrs. Sanderson and Co., under a very excited state of the money-market, and concurrently with it an enormous drain for Ireland. The amount quoted is considered beyond the sum taken. " As to our applications having been made at different times of the day, this arose simply from the continu ance of the demand upon us. " There is no truth in our having stated that we had been to the Bank in vain ;' but, in reply to a question wade by a banker who called on us at the time, we stated we had not got an answer to our second application. This was caused by the Governor being in committee. "As to the insinuation that we have added to the paper, it is absurd to suppose we shoul I do anything so contrary to our interest ; but we may state confidently that we have exerted ourselves to the utmost to render every assistance in our power throughout the crisis to support public credit.

THE HIGHLANDERS IN INDIA.—The following extract of a letter from India will show the extraordinary effect produoed on the native mind by the appearance of the Highlanders :—" The sepoys on this side of India have never seen them. At first they took them fir women sent out to avenge the massacre of the ladies at Cawn pore. The battle of Onao disabused them of that idea, and the Highlanders were pronounced petticeated devils.' Still they were a puzzle. The sepoys could understand the existence of devils, but could not com prehend why they should be barelegged. At last the truth came out. The devils were barelegged in order more ccnveuiently to break sepoys across their knees ! A sepoy of the 731, who happened to be i❑ Calcutta on their arrival, reported on his return to his regiment that the English were sending out monsters, with legs like elephants, faces covered with hair like wild beasts, and blood-red eyes. The Highlanders are, in truth, a singular c.mtrast to the people of the low country. On the arri val of the 42d a Sircar or Bengalee clerk had occasion to ao on board the vessel. A Highlander etepped up to him, and looked at him long and curiously ; then catch ing him by the waist, he held him above his head, exclaiming, with a chuckle of amazement, "Sandy, be thae the things we're to fecht wi'?' A sepoy is very different from a Bengalee, being usually taller than an Englishman, though he weighs less." Tbirb Vaition SUN OFFICE, Seven, o'Clocic. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OP LORDS.—(This Day.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at 5 o'clock. TRANSFER OF LAND. Lord ST. LEONARDS brought in a bill for simplying the transfer of land. The bill was read a first time. The Earl of SLIAFTESBURY preset ted a petition from the Indian Christian Association of Edinburgh praying that in any measure for the future Go ernment Npf India, steps will be taken for the complete removal of All Government encouragement to caste, all public sup port of idolatry, and all obstruction to the profession of Christianity by the natives, or the free promulgation of the truths of the gospel. BANK ISSUES INDEMNITY BILL. On the order of the day being read for the second reading of this bill, Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said, as there was a general understanding that the discussion of this bill was to be taken on Friday, he should simply move that the bill be now read a second time. Lord. DERBY said he was not present when the arrangements with respect to the second reading were made, but he did not feel disposed to offer any opposition at the presentstage. There was one point however to which he would just allude, namely, the keeping up the rate of discount to 10 per cent, for so long a period of two months as was laid down in the bill. It was a very difficult question now from what had arisen when per mission was first given the Bank to exceed its legal issue. In his opinion, the Government would act wisely in leaving a discretionary power with the authorities at the 8.,,nk to reduce the interest if, in their opinion, such a step could be taken with safety. The bill was then read a second time. TRANSPORT OF TROOPS TO INDIA. Viscount DUNGANNON moved for copies of any correspondence that may have taken place during the present year between the East India Company and the Board of Control. Earl GRA.NVILLE said as a committee of inquiry was about to he moved in the other house on this subject, and as alb:the papers connected with the subject would be laid before that committee, he thought it would be inexpedient at the present moment to agree to the motion of the noble viscount. Viscount DUNGANNON said under these circum stances he should not press his motion, but he withdrew it on the understanding that the papers be had moved for should be laid before the committee. ASSASSINATION OF MR. SULLIVAN. Earl POWIS asked the noble earl the Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether the Government had received any information concerning the assassination of Mr. Sullivan, our Minister at Peru, and also what steps the Government had taken is consequence ? The Earl of CLA.RENDON said that in the month of August last information was received from the consul at Lima that Mr. Sullivan had been dangerously wounded by an assassin in Peru. On the folio s ing day, Mr. Sul livan died, bu - , before his death, that gentleman said he could not account fur the circumstance, as be did not know of having a single enemy in Peru, which turned out to be ti ue, from the inquiry that had taken place. The escape of the assassin was effected by several confederates, and the Peruvian Government had not yet succeeded in capturing Lim. He should do an in justice did he not say that the Peruvian Government Lad expressed the greatest regret at the circumstance, and had used the utmost activity to discover the per petrator of the deed. By the last accounts the Peruvian authorities had information of the place to which the assas,in bad fled, but whether he had been arrested Le at present knew not. One of the accomplices, however, had been taken into custody, and recognised by Mr. Sullivan as the person who held him, while the other man stabbed him. The Peruvian Government has offered a reward of 3,000 dollars, which Lad since been increased to 10,000, and to which the British Government had added 3001. for the apprehension, of the murderer. The Peruvian Go- vernment felt satisfied that ultimately the villain wculd be discovered. There was nut the slightest fault to find with the Peruvian Government. BANKS IN IRELAND AND SCOTLAND.

Mears, the bell-founders I Sir C. WOOD said that Mr. B. Denison had been kind enough to undertake the recasting of the bell. He would communicate Mr. Denison's explanation of the above question. That the gentleman said that the cause of the cracking of the bell had been correctly stated in the newspapers, and the reasons for paying Messrs. Warner. (Hear.) They could not be charged under the circumstances wi.k the recasting of the bell, The new bell would be cast according to specill cation, and would be ready by the 19th Feb. next. No additional demand would be made for its paymeLt, be cause in the original estimate a sum large enough was taken to meet such a contingency as the present. CIRCUITS OF THE JUDGES. In reply to a question from Mr. S. WARREN, Sir G. GREY said that as soon as he received the report of the Common Law Judicial Commission, he sent a letter to the Lord Chief Justice respecting the proposed change in the circuits.

Sir G. GREY said that after the recees he should move the appointment of such a committee. PROBATES AND LETTERS OF ADMINISTRA- TION (IRELAND). Mr. DEASY asked the Attorney-General for Ireland when it was intended to bring into operation the act of las:: session relative to probates and letters of adminis tration in Ireland ; and also, whether it was intendedto provide for the sitting of the New Court of Probate in the immediate vicinity of the Four Courts.

Sir B. 11A.LL said a report had been received [ran t Mr. Garney, and he would lay it on the table of the I house, TELEGRAMS PROM INDIA. Mr. LYGON asked the President of the Board of Control on whom rested the responsibility of providing that the intelligence transmitted by electric telegraph to this country from the East Indies should represent as accurately as possible the detailed information conveyed by the mails ! Mr. V. SMITH said, in consequence of some confu sion arising in the first instance in the transmission of telegrams from India, instructions had been sent to the Governments of Bombay and Calcutta to transmit them which was now done, and sometimes by the Con suls. CONVEYANCE OF TROOPS TO INDIA. Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the First Lord of the Treasury -1. Whether it was true that Lord Stratford de Redcliffe telegraphed to her Majesty's Government that he had obtained a firman from the Sultan for the passage of troops through Egypt to India, and if so, what was the date of-that communication !2. Whether it was true that Lord Elphinstone telegraphed to Lord Canning that he had steam vessels at Bombay which he could send, if desired, to Suez, to facilitate the convey ance of troops overland to India. 3. What was the date of the friendly offer made to her Majesty's Govern ment by the Emperor of the French to permit British troops to pass through France on their way to India ! Mr. V. SMITH, in the absence of Lard Palmerston, answered the second question to the effect that Govern ment had no information of such a telegram having been transmitted for the purpose named, and his private correspondence led him to believe that no such telegram was transmitted. Lord PALMERSTON afterwards answered the other question, to the effect that Lord Stratford applied to her Majesty's Government to know if he should apply for the permission, but that at the time, 30th June, it was inexpedient for him to do so, arising from a variety cf causes, principally the period of the year, when the heat would have been injurious to the troops, and the want of transports at Suez to carry them on, THE CLIVE FUND. Sir J. PAKINGTON asked, " What was the present state of a fund of 70,0001., created by a donation of Lord Clive in 1765, who paid a legacy, which he received to that amount, into the East India Company's Trea sury at Fort William, to be at interest for the support of European officers and soldiers who might be disabled or decayed in the Company's service in Bengal, and for the widows of officers and soldiers who might die on service there ? Mr. V. SMITH said that he had not yet been in formed by the East India Company, but referred the right hon, baronet to the evidence of Mr. P. Melville, given in 1852, which stated that the Clive Fund was absorbed, and that the East India Company paid the pensions granted under it out of their own revenues. TROOPS FOR INDIA. Mr. ADDERLEY asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any more regiments than the 95tb, 89th, and 13th had been sect from the Cape to India; whether the 95th was not under orders for New Zealand, and the 89th relieving them ; whether the two regments so deducted from the forces at the Cape were all the set-off against the addition of the German Legion on full pay, equal to four regiments in strength ; and, whether the total result of an increase of forces- at the Cape by two regiments, was wholly at the expense of this country. Mr. LIBOUCHERE said that he proposed to-mor. row to lay on the table of the house, papers that would give information relative to the conductof the governors of colonies i❑ the immediate vicinity of India. He thought that it would then be found that they had done everything they possibly couli to send assistance to India—(hear)—particularly the governor of the Cape of Goad Hope, who bad anticipated tha direction of the home Government, both in the supply of troops and horses. So anxious were the people of Cape Town to send troops to India that they volunteered to do garrison duty to enable the governor to spare them, notwith standing the town was full of Kaffir prisoners. MILITARY AUDITOR. G,n. CODMINGTON asked whether, in the office lately established—viz., that of " Military Auditor," attached to the troops in China, any separate authority was given independent of, and with financialcontrolover, the general officer in command of the troops ? whether the expenditure required on active service in the field must not necessarily, as heretofore, be decided on the sold responsibility of the general aheer I whether those per sons employed in the office of military auditor with the troops in China were amenable to, or independent of, the provisions of the Mutiny Act ?" Sir J. RAMSDEN said that the appointment of a military auditor would not interfere with the authority of the Commander-in-Chief. He would be subject to the Mutiny Act. THE RUSSIAN PORTS IN THE BLACK SEA. Mr. WISE asked the First Lord of the Treasury, whether the regulations for admission into the Russian ports of the Black Sea had been framed in a spirit favourable to the development of c3mmercial transac• tious ; and to what ports in the Black Sea English Con s•ils bad bee❑ sent by her Majesty's Government I Lord PALMERSTON regretted that at present the Russian regulations had not been so much in accordance with the spirit of the treaty of Paris as be could have wlslie3. lie believed there were only three ports at which custom-houses had been established. ME STADE DUES. Mr. FENWICK asked the First Lord of the Trea. eury whether Her Majesty's Government had been in negotiation with the Government of Hanover, with a view to the extinction of the Stade Dues ; and if so, whether any progress had been made iu that negotiation ; and whether any assurance could be now given of an early and satisfactory settlement of the question I Lord PALMERSTON said that these dues partook much of the character of the Sound dues that had been abolished, but in consequence of having to consult so many Governments in reference to it, he could not hold out a speedy abolition of the dues. FAIRS AND MARKETS (IRELAND). Lord F. CONYNGHANI, asked whether it was the intention of Govirnment to introduce a measure for the regulation of the fairs and markets in Ireland I Ir. IL HERBERT slid it was the intention of the Government to introduce such a measure. OATHS OF AI3JURATION. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, the house re solved itself into committee to consider the oaths of allegiance, supremacy, and abjuration. That having been done, the noble lord entered into the various modes that had been proposed, with a view to meetiho religious scruples of the Jews, and said that in the bill he proposed to introduce he only in ended to alter the oath of abjuration in respect to Jews. It would remain as at present for Protestants and Ca tholics, but omit the words "on the true faith of a Christian" for Jews. 3 He moved for leave to introduce the bill. Sir F. THESIGER, next addressed the house, ob. serving that no objection would be made to the intro duction of the bill, on the understanding that it would not be proceeded further with till after the recess. He proceeded to eater at great length into the proposed change in the law. He stated, however, that he should oppose the bill at every stage, believing that by admitting Jews to a seat in that house they would give a fatal blow to Christianity, which was so intimately interwoven with our valuable institutions. Mr. DILWYN supported the introduction of the measure. Mr. BENTINCK thought the bill ought not to be introduced, and be was prepared to vote against the motion.

FAREWELL OF THE JUDGE OF THE PREROGATIVZ COURT.—Yesterday being the last day of the last term allowed to the court by the recent act of Parliament, there was an unusually large attendance both of advo cates and proctors. As soon as Sir John Dodson had taken his seat, the Queen's Advocate rose and said, that as this was probably the last occurrence upon which the bar as a body would be in attendance before the learned civilian as Judge of the Prerogative Court, he begged leave on their behalf, and by their unanimous desire, to express the sincere regret they felt at parting with him. Sir John Dodson (who spoke with great emotion) re turned his most sincere and heartfelt thanks for the favourable opinion which the Queen's Advocate had expressed kindness,siedofhisc and bide themonduct.Hesin f c a e r r e e w ly eli. thanked them for FACE, AND - P rE e cr airsor ße tv; n e —S l On as Trz e ß ne7 opticians, 39, Albemarle. a ti sil D F F_ L a T s i T.
