THE PRINCE OP WALES AT WOOLWICH.-
REVIEW AND SHAM FIGHT.-(THIS DAY.)

From an early hour this morning the town of
Woolwich presented a scene of unusual animation,
many thousands of persons having arrived to wit-
s= • review of troops and sham fight in the
presence of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and
Prince's of Wales. About 10 o'clock the entire available
force in garrison assembled on the Common, each corps
with its band and colours, and took up • position near
the Military Academy, twenty-five rounds of blank am-
munition having been served out to each man. At • quar-
ter past 10 o'clock, his Royal Highness the Prince
of Wales, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses
Prince Arthur, and the Duke of Cambridge, the Field
Marshal commanding in chief, with • brilliant staff of
&Id officers, arrived at the garrison, and were received by •
royal salute from a battery of artillery, stationed near the
flag staff on which the royal standard was hoisted.
The battalion evolutions occupied about an hour. At
11 o'clock the infantry division commenced file-firing, and
the several evolutions of • sham fight will be carried out
during the afternoon.
Before leaving Woolwich their royal highnesses are at.
pecked to visit the Royal Military Academy and the Royal
ArseuaL

THE INDIAII THAMWAY COMPANY (LIMITED).
(THIS DAY.)

An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders
was held at 1 o'clock. at the London Tavern, Sir MACDONALD
STZPRZNEION in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN said the object of convening the meeting ■
was, as stated in the report which had been issued, 116,..
"to recommend the payment of interest for the past half- ;
year, and to obtain the sanction of the shareholders to al
commence operations at once, by constructing the short es
line, of about seventeen miles, connecting the im- et
portant town of Conjeveram, in the Madras Presideocy,
with the Ananias juoction of the Madras Railway." 12
These purposes were, it was believed, desirable for the ;
intonate of the company, and it was satisfactory to know as
that the commencement of the proposed operations would es
meet with no delay at Madras. 111
In reply to questions, BI
The CHAIRMAN said the payment of interest by the go- 85
verument did not cease after the line paid • profit of 5 per it
cent. The line being very short, could be constructed •
answer without a contract than with one, on account of the 154
great expense of sending out a staff. The board would not M
ask for any more capital until they were perfectly satisfied 11
with the terms offered by the government, which was not
the case at preeent.
The report was adopted, and interest at the rate of 5 per g
cent. per annum for the half-year was ordered to be paid ; 54
the chairman having stated that enough had been made to al
realise that payment out of the investments of capital.
A resolution for the payment of the same rate of interest 14
during the construction, was subsequently adopted.
The company's solicitor (Mr. Freshfield) stated that ano-
ther meeting would have en be held to confirm the last 2
resolution pared on that occasion.

THE ALZIANDBA.—The Liverpool Albion of to-
day says of themes of the Alexandra, which have been before
the Court of Exchequer this morning :—" A very large num-
ber of persons of all classes, men and women, bare been
sublicenaid to appear. All the holes and corners of the
town appear to have been searched for witnesses who
have been connected in any with persons having
had to do with the Alabama, Florida, Bahama,
and Alexandra. Among other witnesses on behalf
of the Crown is, we believe, • person named Young,
formerly • purser on board the Alabama. Messrs.
Fawcett, Preston, and Co. hem been subpcemed to produce a
their books and specifications for years put, as also hes 1
Mr. Priolean, of Fraser, Treaholni, and Co. The latter
gentleman, it is understood, will be examined se to whether el
he ever disbursed monies for the Alabama, Flo.ida, Bahama, 141
and Alexandra. The Bohm-nag nerved on these gentlemen el
are tantamount to what is legally termed ' • bill of die- 91,,,
emery! The case is certain to brink down, there not ;
being a tittle of reliable evidence against the Alexandra." •
A letter from Freywaldeau (Austria) says :—" An I
officer of the Austrian dragoons, Prince Windlicbgratz, who
has been here some weeks, drinking the mineral waters,
bus been found murdered in hie bed. His valet, who had -
killed him with a log of wood while be slept, has taken to
flight, carrying off the money and effects of the prince."
The fourteenth congress of the schoolmasters of
Germany has jug been held at Mannheim, the sittings having
lasted three days. Among the questions discussed were the
best methods of developing memory in children ; the
means of awakening in them • love of country ; the mina- r
tages resulting from a larder share being given to gymnastic
exercises in education ; the study of music, especially of na-
tional songs ; the necessity of teaching children, with the
greatest care, the history of their country, and especially
the great deeds and victories of the German people, fir.
The mooed sitting of the commas received a visit from the
Grand Duke of Baden, who uttered a few words of wel-
come to the assembly, and who was received with much
enthusiasm.
It appears from a parliamentary return issued
this morning that the revenue of the Court of Bankruptcy
in the year 1861 was 104.229/. 13s. 4d., and the expenditure
81.260/. Se. 9d. In 1562 the revenue was 124,5421. Is. Bd.,
and the expenditure 119,750!. 19s. sd.
THE SITE OF Sr. THOMAS'S EIOSFITAL.—A meet-
ing was held on Friday of the physicians, surgeons, and
other medical officers of St. Thomas's Hospital, to consider
the relative merits of the sites which are now ander coo -
sideretion of the governors u possible sites for the new
hospital. Among these sites there are, in the unanimous
opinion of the medical men, only two which are of first-rate
excellence, viz. :—The site now occupied by Bedlam ; and
the site which the Metropolitan Baird of Works is about to
create, partly by removal of present buildings and partly by 0.
embankment of the river, at Stangate, near the south end 60-
of Westminster-bridge,, and directly facing the Homes :
of Parliament They unanimously believe that
either of these sites would be admirably well
suited for the reconstruction of the hospital—that
either of them would be incomparably superior to
any third site which his been named for the purpose. Of -- •
the two, the Stangate site they believe b decidedly the No. I el.
superior. The entire medical staff of the hospital therefore *Va. It
desires respectfully to submit to the general court of wee 1110
governors its unanimous and most earnest recommends- 24,000 DO
tion that, unless unforeseen circumstances should reader

the object unattainable, the river-side site at &serrate be ir....?ua ss
chosen for the reconstruction of St. Thomas's Hospital. een tee

pending for nearly two years, and the evidence of all the Skeet 20
witnesses already taken, there was no substantial reason 10,000 100
for a postponement of the trial, and that a postponement M." 100

before the deputy-coroner for Mr. Bedford, relative to the 15, 100
death of Mary Anne Walkley, aged 20, who at the time of 6, 100
her decease was in the employ of Madame Eli's, court "

but on awakening in the morning was shocked to find her 6 0000 100

that death resulted from apoplexy, sod stated, in answer to 47":08a Ice
the coroner, that long hours of work io a crowded &penman,
and sleeping in • close, badly-ventilated room, would have •
great tendency to produce the symptoms which he described.
Mr. Clarke, surgeon. of Gerrard-street. concurred in the evi-
dence of Mr. Keys. He described the bedrooms, which were
divided by partition into small compartments, just large
enough to contain two beds placed end to end. If, as had
been stated, there were two young women in each bed, he
considered they were decidedly usflt places for anyone to
sleep in, and more particolnly in the state of health in
which the deceased had been. Blab, who had attended

the deesasa during the unavoidable absence of his primitive',
itro.saims,ax oreesed his opinion that the rooms in which the
d died were overcrowded and badly ventilated. The
jury retnroed the following verdict :—" That the deceased
died of apoplexy ; but there is too much reason to fear that
her death was greatly accelerated by working loos hours in
a crowded workroom, and sleeping in a clam badly veuti•
toted bedroom." The husband of Madame Elite said he
did all he could for the comfort and health of his young
people, and if the jury would tell him what he ought to do,
from he should be most happy to listen to their suggestions. The
Dart. I coroner replied that that was a question fora surveyor. The

railway market to-day, but prices generally
are well maintained, notwithstanding the fall
