UNIVERSAL PRIVATE TELEGRAPH COMPANY.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was
hada yesterday at the Aloes, 446, West Ettraad ; lltr. Alder.
man Bsionons in the chair. . .

-----
Tin report stated that the empeny had sew entaldiehed
their system in the metropolie, and a esseiderable area was
traversed by its lines. In Glasgow lime had been established
with marked success, enkindle( as far as Greenock,
Paisley, Berrhead, Busby, Campine ad the Vale of the
Leven' between 20 and 30 miles distant. Operations
were also proposal in Dundee and Edinburgh. The
company bad recently commenced the development of
an extended system in and around Banchester, and
the whole of the manufacturiag districts, where the
advantage of private communiostion wee highly appreciated.
In Liverpool, Birmingham, Nevada*, sad on the banks
of the Tyne, extension works IMO also proposed. The „„c•
can attending the operations so far, and the estimation is
which the system WWI held by those adopting it, were such
that there was no doubt that a large and increasing business
would yearly advance the commercial prosperity of the cora
' piny. The difficulties of introducing long circuit, had been
overcome, and the future extension of the lines might be
regarded as based upon the most perfect system at present
available. The financial result of the company's operations
to the end of August last showed a net revenue over ex.
peoditnre sufficient to declare a dividend of 5 per cent.
The Cturaitur said up to August last the compaoy
had been very sucoserful, and as the aoconnts were only
made up to that time, and having each an extraordinary
arnoust of busineee, he thought it better that the meeting
should be adjourned, in order to give time for the proctor,
Sion of further accounts.

siisTike system had worked very well
in Glasgow, and the rennin were delighted with it, and

The bankrupt was • horse-dealer, of Hollaed•park, Ken-

6001. This was the adjourned examisatioa sitting.
Mr. Bagley supported; Mr. R. Griffiths appeared for the
assignees ; and Mr. Doris and Mr. Bargood for creditors.
The assignees did not oppose ; but it was urged, on behalf
of opposing creditors, that the accounts were unsatisfactory,
and that the bankrupt had not accounted for the whole of
bisdirofes r

be should be glad to have the opinion of the appellate jurisdic-

DRAMA.

A little faros was produced at this theatre last
night under the title of My Znackledaster, which is ob-
viously bend ma the now almost forgotten) garotte panic,
and which gives Mr. Rogers aa opportunity for what we •
may call free and easy acting. As a Mr. Smith from Man-
chester, he takes lodgings at a lately house in some part of
Highgate, and suffers from all those terrors which bare
already been made the most of at the Adelphi by Mr.
Toole. The dialogue might be a tries more reined without
losing much in humour, thank we are bound to say that
the general audience seemed highly satisfied with it. Mr.
Rogers can scarcely appear in any part without amusing
his audience as long as he remains on the stage, and in this
ease be was well supported by Mn Poynter. The trifle is
announced as from the pan of Mr. L. Crawford Wilson, a
gentleman who is almost new as an aspirant for dramatic
fame.

°RECUR THEATRE.
A well-conducted minor theatre, standing in the
heart al • populism district, giving a well-selected, wall get-
up and well-executed dramatis entree/amend, is worthy at
far more critical tpprecitlien that it usually gate The
tiresian Theatre, in the City-road, has all these merits. Its
dramas are generally put upon the stage with an attention
to details that would do honour to a leading Westarl

mimeo. This year the subject chosen for the Christmas
piece is "The Spider and the Fly," and it gives Mr. George
Conquest, tbe son of the lessee and one of its coo:meterss
peculiar opportunities fur display as a pantomimist. He
plays Render Nip in • styleiwhich for fantastic activity
eclipses anything that has been seen of the kind since the
death of Mr. Wieland. For more than an hour he
sustains • most arduous performance in which he
is constantly appearing and dieappearing in all poaitiona
through more than twenty trap-doors Axed in different parts of
the stage. This ex tisordinary agility reaches its extreme height
is a scene called "the phantom fight," in which he is ably
assisted by Miss M. A. Victor and his sister, Xis Laura
Conquest. The bitter young lady it very pleasing is person
and manners, and is • most accomplished dancer. Miss
Victor has great versatility as an actives, tad's well versed
in all the varied business of burlesque acting, having been
for some time a prominent member of Miss Swanborough's
company at the Strand. A burlesque Dundreeti7—the
caricature of • caricature—is played with much breadth and
humour by Mr. H. Grant. The harlequinade is spirited
and well supported, the scenery is carefully painted, the
ballet is well arranged, the trandornation scene is designed
with much taste, and the whole does credit to a theatre
which was long the home of Mien Carlotta Lecleroq, Mr.
Flexmore, and Mr. Robson.

SPAIN.

In the sitting of the Spanish Chamber of Depu-
ties on the 30th ult., the Minister of Finance, in
reply to a question pnt by M. Calve Asenno, said
that the lode of the church property would be oom-
plated so soon as the proper formalities had been
gone through in all the different dioceses. The
government, he said, was deeply interested in the
measure, as on the principle of the sinking fund
reposed numerous and important public services.

A fancy dress ball at the Tuileries is to take place
on the 9th.

Tim Prince-Biehope of Brien and Trent and
seven other priests have moved m the Tyrolese Diet that
the house do decree that no protestant community shall
be formed in the Tyrol. This is in direct 000tradiction to the
Patent Law of 1861, and also to the Act of Confederation.

inhabitants of that district felt with the principles of the

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST SIR ROBERT
GYLL.

Yesterday a case came before the bench of magis-
trate' at petty somionz sitting at Hampton. in which Sir
Robert GyII, of feltham, near Stamm was the defendant,
and • young girl named Hannah Crow, aged 16, was the
complainant, wherein she charged the defendant with com-
mitting a violent and indecent ammilt upon her on Saturday
the 6th of December last. Hannah Crow said she was 16
years old, and ow the 6th of December she went to Sr
Robert Gyll's hoer at Fathom, for some money owing for
needlework. It wee about 12 o'clock in the day. Lady
Gyll told her to go down to fetch some machetes which
had been promised to her (complainant's) mother, and on
going dowa the garden she saw Sir Robert digging. He
mot the gardener away, sad then gave her two pieces of
cake, and asked her to have some wine, which she at first
refused, but on being premed took a little, which he poured
into a glass from • round bottle. He then asked
her if she had a sweetheart, and took hold of
her frock, and attempted to take indecent liberties with her.
She cried out and threatened to smack his face, when be
let go of her frock, and she held out her apron, into which he
pat some artichokes. She went home, told her parents what
bad occurred. She trembled very much when she got home,
and afterwards became very iIL A medical man attended
her, and she did not leave her bed for a fortnight. The girl's
father and other witnesses having been examined,
Seejeant Salentine, for the defendant, urged that
the girl's tale was inconsistent ; Nat./yen if the bench be-
lieved it they would not send the case for trial, but consider
thmimposition of sane sufficient to meet the ends of justice.
The beech deliberated for some time, and the chairman (Sir
Joha Gibbons) said—We have very carefully considered
this ere, and it is the opinion of one of the bench that
the defendant should be sent for trial. Amongst the other
five there is a great difference of opinion as to whether we
should send the defendant to prison without • fine, or Mi-
-1 pass the highest fine the law allows. The majority (three
out of five) are for that course, and we therefore tine the
defendant the sum of W., with all coats. I may say, for
my own part, that I should have sent the defendant to
prison without the option of paying any fine. The fine and
mote, amounting to 71. 141. 6d., was then paid, and on
leaving the court the defendant mai lakes with • violent
fit, and required medical airieraeo.

BOW-ESTREKT.

Charles Henry Mason, cleric to Mr. Rickman Oodles,
barrister, was chirped with embezzling fees due to his em-
ployer, and also with forgery.
Mr. (iodise said that the defendant bad been is hie em-
ploy for 23 years. It was his duty to receive fear from soli-
citors. Os the 26th of January the prisoner said to him,
" I am • defaulter." He afterwards made a list of
defalcations amounting to more than 500 guineas which he
bad received and had not handed over. That list included •
cheque toe 81. Bs. in his favour. It was endorsed R. Oodles,
but was not his handwriting, and he believed it to be the

(lam of the value of 41., sad also with assaulting Mr. James
W. Thurston, of the Prince of Wales Tavern, 15, Charlotte.
street, Portland-place.
From the evidence of Mr. Thereto°, it appeared that
on the previous evening the primmer went into the
°atm-roan of the tavern and began beget; of some gen-
tlemen. They refused to give him anything, seeing hie
condition, be being under the influence of drink. The
prisoner then made use of very disgusting language, and
on being put out by Mr. Thornton, broke a pane of glass
of the value of 41. in Mr. Thurston's face, the consequence
being that his face was very badly cut, and he lost a gooddeal
of blood. The prisoner then made off, but was pursued and
secured, and given into custody.
Mr. John Thurston, brother of the prosecutor, and Mr.
Hyde, builder, of 1, Weymouth.street, were called, and the
former deposed to seeing a knife in the primmer's band
during pert of the affair, while the latter spoke to the pd.

turning round sharply she saw the prisoner by her side and

out "Step thief !" and saw him afterwards apprehended.
The praetor hers denied having made any attempt os

PARIS, FILIDAT EVXNIIIO.

I bad thought that the system of "enormous
lying," which the government journals act upon in
all, or at least most things, was used up so far as
regards the congress ; but I was mistaken. The
Pays to-night impudently pretends to believe that
after all the congress will take place, and asserts
that England is the "only power which has refused
to join it." This misrepresentation, which will de-

wive nobody out of France, can only play a very
transient part here. It is well known that the ac-
ceptant. " in principle " of all the great powers is,
in reality, as practical a refusal as that of Eng-
land. It is only in France—and there but for a
few days at most the congress of the Em-
peror's speech is not regarded as dead and buried.
The Constitutionnei makes the Schleswig-Holstein
difficulty an excuse for an argument in favour of
the now exploded congress. The Opinion Nationale
says very truly that the explanations of the
Contlitutionriei explain nothing, and that the very
word congress would exasperate Germany, which
desires above all that foreign powers should not
interfere.

M. Darcy, the Minister of Public Instruction, has
written a circular to inform the inspectors of public
instruction that from and after January 1 the
Journal des Inststuteurs will have no official cha-
racter. This is a communication as remarkable as
excellent. I do not remember another admission
of a minister that journals do exist which are
paid to applaud the government. Of the payment
hitherto received by the journal in question, there
can be no doubt, because the minister states that
its subvention, 160,000 fr. (a very large sum, 6,4001.
sterling) will hereafter be employed for the benefit
of schoolmasters whose salary does not exceed 400 fr.
The Bourse is much disturbed by rumours of •

PARIS, Nov. 28.
The Conatitutionnel of to-day contains an article
signed by its chief editor, X Limayrac, entitled
"England and the Congress." The writer says
"By a refusal to attend the congress England
would afford grounds to those who assert that her
greatness and prosperity are founded upon
the misfortunes and ruin of other na-
tions." X Limayrac expresses grievous regret
"to see a policy parading itself for liberalism, in-
spired by sentiments of mean jealousy and the
rivalry of England, continually put back the friendly
hand which we extend to her, and make obstacle
to all that appears generous and opportune." "It
is not only at Rome but also at London," eon-
tinues X Limayrac, "that the non pournbus doc-
trine is made a political dogma."
The article then recalls England's refusal to
favour the national movement in the Danubian
Principalities, to protect Montenegro, Piedmont,
Mexioo, America, and Poland, and reminds its
readers bow loyal and sympathetic the French go- i
vernment has shown itself towards England, and
how little it has received in compensation.
" In the present state of things," continues K
Limayrse, "if France has reason to feel offended at
the want of concurrence on the part of England, it

is Europe that will be wounded in her most serious
interests. Free from all personal ambition, France
calls with good faith upon all the powers. If troubles
and conflagrations should arise in Europe, as it is
only too easy to foresee, the entire responsibility
would fall upon those who have rejected the work
d peace and conciliation."

BANK OP WALIB.--(THIS DAY.)

This day a meeting of shareholders in this under-
taking was held at DOW at Guildhall Coffee-house, to
take into consideration the best ;mune to be adopted with
retlto the position of this bank.
STMINE took the chair, and stated that they were met
to consider whether there we. any probability of establishing
the bank on a satisfactory beak, and if not to endeavour to
get their money back. He proposed that they should call
upon the present directors to resign, and that the
call of 51. per share they had made, which he des-
cribed u suicidal, should not be persisted in,
and farther that the election of directors should
be left in the hands of the shareholders. For himself, be,
se the holder of 250 shares, would rather throw the whole
concern into Chaomuy than submit to the call. He also
suggested that the directors should be required sot to buy
or sell shares on amount of the company. He charged the
directors with having broken faith with the ehareholdera.
Mr. NU= suggested that they should adjourn the meet-
ing and after the general meeting tomorrow, when they
would bear what the directors bad to say.
Another SHAILEHOLDICII asked, why not throw the affair
into Chancery at owe ?
The Oiranutut remarked that no bank started with a
better prospect than the Rusk of Wales, but that prospect
hed been rained by the iticapuit of the doctors.
In reply to Mr. Squires the AN sdded that the
whole sum received by the directors on deposit for shares
*as 10,0001.
Hr. Borns apprehended that no bank could expect to
carry on with 10,C)01. capital only. If they had confidence
in the directors the Si. call proposed was not exceseive.
(Hear, hear.)
. . .

The. enxiaitrar—That is what it is. It is a matter of
want of oni&lenos in the directors. Bat what we want
is the public's money to trade with—not the capital of the
shareholders. Them' is an offer of 40,0001. from one of the
most respectable banks if we are prepared to go on ; but
at present the directors have not oommenced business, nor
have they taken premises.
A kin and somewhat noisy discussion ensued, in which
some personalities were exchanged between the chairman
and several of the shareholders. Ultimately a resolution
. .

wee moved by Mr. Hoopin, requirhig the directors to reacied
the 51. eell, which the Chairmen wooded, end it wee car-
ried.

A sound resolution, proposed by the same gentleman,
inviting thu directors to resign, met with considerable op-
position on the ground that it was in effect condemning
them unheard ; and ultimately an amendment, adjourning
the meeting until Wednesday next, at 12 o'clock, wan put
and carried.

Dr. AnnatuitcoqulTed Of 174 a; liarrip;o, as cite of the I
reptwtstirw of the City in the Metropolitan Board of
Works, whether it was a fact that that board intended to
apply to parliament for an extension of their borrowing
powers for the completion of the main drainagescheme?
The original sum that they were empowered to raise under
their act e parliament wan 3,000,0001. It now, however,
seemed that as additional 1,700,0006. was required to carry
out the works. He complained that the Metropolitan
Board of Works had made what be thought was gross ails-
' calculationgof the sum that would probably be required.
Mr. Deputy HARBISON replied that it was quite true that
the Board of Works intended to apply for an extension of
their borrowing powers for the completion of the works to
the extent of 1,200,000/. A further sum of 500,0001. was
required for covering and putting into proper repair the open
sewers and for the completion of those work.. This latter
amount be undergood was not included is the original
amount named in the act of parliament. However, a state-
meet of the facts would be shortly published, and he was of
opinion that until it appeared it would be advisable that no
steps should be taken by the commission with reference
to it.
The matter was then dropped.

An important inquiry is ordered to take place on
board the Victory, flag-abip, at Portsmouth, ia nascence to
the conduct of • captain and lieutemat (whose names we at,
present withhold), while serving on bowl a screw-oorvetta
on the West India station. The precise form and details of
the charges against these pikers have not been promulgated,
but in substance they are to the effect that the
captain sod first lieutenant did, by their orders, cause •
fint.clus boy to be flogged with a rope's end, and to be
scrubbed with sand, and that they did permit other cruel
practices opposed to good discipline and order. We under-
stand that there is also • charge agaiost the captain of CUM-
bag improper entries to be made in the defaulters' book in
reference to the maid boy. The officiating Judge Advocate,
R. Hoskins, Esq., will also act as prosecutor, sod it is
stated that there are 30 witnesses to be examined for the
Ki=tion. It is not probable that the court will sit before
