GREAT INDIANPENI.VSULA RAILWAY

(]O iII 4.V 1.

The report of the directors, to be presented at the
evrenth half yearly general mi eting of shareholders, which
will be held at the offices of the company to-morrow,
states that the directors have the satisfaction to state
that, in accordance wi h their anticipations, expressed
is the last half yearly report, the first portion of
the railway—from Bombay to Taanah, 21 miles—
would be opened for traffic on the ith of the present
month. This being the inauguration of railways in India,
there can be no doubt that the public generally will unite
with the proprietors of this company in congratulations
upon the event, which may be expected to form the com-
mencement of a new era in India, and lead to incalculable
benefit" in all the relations, not only between Great
Britain and her Eastern Empire, but between the different
provinces of India itself. The works of the several contracts
between Tannah and Callian arc proceeding satisfactorily,
and the directors have no reason to doubt that this further
portion of the line will be ready for traffic before the
termination of the present year. The proprietors are
aware that, under the contract wth the Honourable East
India Company, the ° Experimental Line," so called, for
which 500,000 L capital is already provided, was designed to
extend (rem Bombay to Callan (including a brinch to
Mahim), together thirty-five miles. But, by a subsidiary
contract. recently entered into between your directors and
the Honourable Bast India Company, this "Experimental
Line" is to be prolonged, in a north-easterly direction,
to Shaw r, on the Thull Ghent road, about eighteen miles
beyond being shown that this first section of the
railway cannot exhibit • fair commercial result until the
traffic prom eding from the Thull Ghent, which is the prin-
cipal thoroughfare in the district, shall have been brought
upon the line. By the subsidiary contract referred to, it is
provided that whatever portion of the present paid-
up capital remains unexpended betweeen Bombay and
Calk's, shall be appropriated to the construction of the
section to Showpoor, thus ruperadded to the " Experi-
weal Line," and whatever additional capital may be re-
quired fur this prolongation will be raised among the
holders for the time being of the existing shares, and be
paid intolhe treasury of the Honourable East India Cont.
pany, and interest is to be allowed as the same at the rate
of five per cent. per annum, all other the terms and
eoadi-
tions being in exact accordance with the terms and condi-
tions of the original contract. A formal resolution will be
submitted to the proprietors at the present meeting to con-
firm the aforesaid agreement and ecetraet. The directors
are not yet able to report the emselneion of the arrange-
ments fore the extession line or lines over the ()haute into
the interior of the country. The pleas sad estimates for
about two hundred miles of railway have been submitted
foe the consideration and approval of the government of
India, and the directors hope that these plans will very
shortly receive the thectios of govern ntent,when after making
the necessary preliminary arrangements with the Hon. East
India Company, the 'board will immediately summon as
extraordinary meeting of the proprietors of this easpany to
take powers for fasting the necessary capital for this ad-
ditieaal portion of the railway. The directors who, at this
period, retire frees office are Mr. A. W. Kennard, and Mr.
W. Nicol (of London) and Major Swanson (of Bombay), all
of whom are eligible for re-election. Dazing the pest year
Captain H.P. Barr, and Mr. J. R. Hadow, both of Bombay,
have been elected by the board as additional directors of
the company in India. Mr. Anderton, one of the auditors,
goes oat of office on this occasion, sad is eligible for re-
electies. The statement of accounts up to the termination
of the half-year ending 31st December last, will be found
appended to then pOn. This statement, together with the
books of account', have been examined by the accountants
of the Honourable East India Company, in addition to a
minute audit by the company's auditors.

CUTIBILL'S DIVOICt.

Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Honey-
. man, said he appeared for the petitioner, Mr. Alfred
t Richard Catbill, in support of a bill fot divorce from his
wife. Mr. Cutbill was the manager of the Commercial
; Bank in Moorgate-street, and we. married to Elisabeth
, Miles on 16th May, 1835, by whom he had four children,
the eldest ot whom was a son now about sixteen, the snood
, a girl about fifteen, the third a boy of twelve, and the fourth
, a child born subsequent to the adultery, and on behalf of
whom his learned friend Mr. Kerr appeared, Mr. Cutbill
' having some doubt whither the effect of the bill would not
be to bastardise that child : but no such object would be
pressed or was desired by him. The adultery was com-
mitted •in February, 1843, with Mr. Edward Higley, for-
, merly of Demerara, and now of Constantinople. It would
be necessary to advert to the length of time which had
elapsed before applying for the divorce; and to state that
the time the adultery was committed Mr. Cutbill had just
become connected with the Commercial Bank, which had
been recently established, and was not possessed of
sufficient means to take proceedings to obtain a
divorce " • vinculo matrimonii." He however insti-
tuted proceedings is the Eccle-iutical Court, and
obtained a decree of separation a menu et thoro in May or
June, 1843. Mr. Cutbill had since, by the advice of the
late Mr. Talbot, commenced an action against Mr. Higley,
on which, on a writ of inquiry before the sheriff, a verdict
had been submitted to for 5001, damages. Another reason
why Mr. Cutbill had not sooner taken proceedings for a
divorce was that he had only recently been appointed ma-
nager of the bank, which by his skill and enterprise had
succeeded in becoming a very prosperous undertaking, and
if the fact of the adultery was made more public he feared
it would injure his prospects. The circumstances under
which the adultery was committed were peculiarly distress-
leg, for Mr. Higley was paying his addresses to a sister of
Mr. Cutbill ; and, although that gentleman was opposed to
the match, Mr. Higley took advantage of the opportunity
he enjoyed from his intimacy in the family of Miss Cutbill
to seduce the wife of the petitioner. It would be proved that
Higley came home late on the evening of 25th Feb., 1843,
with Mrs. Catbill to her husband's in Moorgate-street, when
he occupied apartments over the Bank. On that occasion,
MIS. Cahill sent both the servants out on trivial pretexts,
and Higley remained alone with her till eleven o'clock.
Oa another occasion, Higley was with Mrs. Cutbill at the
house in Moorgate-street, and the servants were again sent
out on trivial errands. On the 25th March, Mr. Cutbill had
gone to a public dinner' and Mrs. Cutbill bad arranged to
pass the evening at her husband's father's, but she did not
go there, and circumstances which came to their knowledge,
induced the sister of Mr. Cutbill to go to Moorgate street,
where they saw Higley secreted in a doorway, opposite the
Bank. Mrs. Cutbill came out and joined him, and they
walked together towards Finsbury-square. Miss Cutbill
followed and accosted theta, when Mrs. Cutbill was much
agitated and excited, and gave no reason for Higley's being
there. Those circumstances having been communicated to
Mr. Cuthill, en inquiry was instituted, which ended in a
distinct and positive confession by Mrs. Cutbill to a Mr.
lmrie, a gentleman who was the godfather of one of the
children ; that on the occasions above stated, when the ser-
vants were sent out, she had been guilty of adultery. She
had also written a letter to her husband, which had been
received about March, 1843, and which was as follows :
" I most positively declare I have never seat any letters to
Providence-row, or any others than I have acknowledged.
I cannot saki:nay. express my thanks for your kindness
in sending the dreams ease. Ido not deserve the extreme
kindness I have received from one I have so much iejured,
but may God look down upon a penitent sinner and grant
me forgiveness for my dreaaful sin in injuring you so much.
I have read with great pain the letter sent by your mother
this morning. I know the burning of your brain and the
grief at your heart, which a wretched-hearted woman who
you have treated with every kindness, has caused you—one
who has lost all, even her own esteem. That you are
suffering dreadfully I know. Oh, how sincerely I repeat
you cannot imagine. May God bless you and my children ;
they are not conscious what a disgraced being they have to
call mother. I repeat in this later I have nothing mom to
confess. Good bye. God bless you, and grant forgiveness
to one who trembles to sign herself,—Your Wife,
" &Italian."
This was written after she made her confession to Mr.
Innis. From that time Mr. Cahill had ceased to hold my
communication with his wife, who had been residing with
her father and mother. Mr. Cahill had been doing his
bast to educate and being up his ehildren, and it was of
importance to his position that the present proceedings
'Maid be takes.
The following evidence was then given.
William John Helager, clerk to the solicitor for the pe-
titioners, proved the usual service of the orders on Kr.
Cutbill, and produced the certificate of the marriage of Mr.
Catbill with Elisabeth Miles.
Mr. John Soyer, wain of Mr. Catbill, stated that he had
identified Mrs. Cutbill for the last witness.
Mary Ann Carr lived in 1843 in the service of Mr. Cut-
bill. Was there in March, 1843. Mr. Cutbiil's family oc-
cupied the upper part of the bank in Moorgate. la the
latter part of February, 1643, one 'Teeing Mr. Edward
Higley came home with her mistress about 10 o'clock. She
was sent out to the butcher's. Was absent half an hour.
Mary Ann Williams, another servant, was there. Elbe was
not sent out. Mr. Cahill was aot at home. Mr. Higley
was there when she returned. She went to bed by.her
mistress's order, as did the other servant. She left Higley
with her mistress. There was a sofa in the room. She
brought some meat from the butcher's. It was not cooked
that night—it was wanted for the next day, it being Sun-
day. Did not know when Higley left, or white her muter
same home. Higley cams on the following Monday about
seven in the evening. Mr. Cutbill was out. Higley went
into the drawing-room to her mistime. No one was with
them. Did not remember seeing him go. She went to
bed at eleven. He was there then. Her master was
out. She did not go into the room that evening.
Received no directions to go to bed that night. Mi.
Higley came about a fortnight after. Her mistrees went
out, and he returned with her. Mr. Cattail had been
absent from town for a day or two. Mrs. Cutbill brought
Higley back about • garter before eight. They went into
the drawing-room. He went away in about three quarters
of an hour. Did not remember seeing him at the hones oa
any other occasion. Was examined at Doctors' Commons.
Cross-examined by Mr. Kerr, who appeared for Mrs.
Cathill—Reoolleeted Mrs. Cahill going away with her
father and mother on the 3rd of May. She remained in
the home till then.
Mrs. Bell, wife of Thomas Bell, silk manufacturer, of
Coventry, sister of Mr. Cutbill, was present at the marriage
of Mr. Cntbill, at Hackney church, in 1843. Knew Mr.
Higley.' He was paying his addresses to witness In January
and Fishnet y. 13b• met hiss at a friend's, a Mr. Tillete.
Mr. Cutbill knew of his paying his addreme;, bat did not
approve of it. Mr. CUM did not receive Higley at his
house. Wham saw am at her mother's. He met Mn.
CatbiU at her ameba's. On one maxim she observed
Higley put his hand tas Mrs. Cutbill's bosom. This we.
at lor brother's beme at the Bank during her brother's
absence, who had not invited Higley there. Wit
nese told him it was very improper, and told Mrs.
Cutbill the same. She laughei it off as if it was
nothing. Witness broke off with Higley after that. On
25th Match, 1843, witness, from what the had heard, went
with Miss Soilleux to Moorgate-street, and stood opposite
the Bank. Her brother was gone to see his son at school.
Mrs. Cutbill had sent to witness's father's to say she should
not come oat, as she was unwell. Mary An Can came
out and told witness if she stood there she would see Mrs.
Cutbill come out; which she did. She crossed over and
, met Higley, who was waiting opposite the Bank. He drew
his arm in hen, and they walked towards Moorlields.
Witness Mowed, sad mini where they were going. Mrs.
Cahill said she was paw Se her mother's. Witness
, addle was as mead aneetrag. Mr.. Cutbill said it way.
Witness reminded her of her saying she was not going out,
and Am said she had altered her mind. Witness did not
sale sa this to her brother. She did not like to dui so as
Ma. Cahill mil it should
thought it would he discontinued.
Maths An Cutbill, sister of Mr. Cutbill, was present at
hie marriage, 18 years ago next 16th May. On 25th March,
1643, witness wee residing with her mother. Remembered
Cutbill maim to her mother's that evening ; she had
just sent to say she could not come. She rune about 8
o'clock. She was very. pale and agitated. She said she
had met witness's sister, who had behaved strangely
to her. Witness asked the reason. She said nothing
about Higley then or at any time. There was a knock at
the door, and Mrs. Cutbilll said it was witness's aster, and
she begged her to send her upstairs. Witness went up soon
after, and heard Mrs. Cutbill say if what had occurred was
told her husband she would destroy herself. Wines' did
not tell her brother, but eid tell Mr. Hingston and Mr.
Imrie, friends of the family. Higley was paying his ed-
dy...sato witness's sister, and had on several occasions met
Mn. Cahill at her mother's home, and gone Imo with her.
Mr. belie, of Streatham, wholesale stationer, amain of
Mr. Cutbill, was intimate with his family, and godfather to
one of the children. In March, 1843, a communication
wee made to him by Mr. Cutbill's deters about Higley and
Mn. Cabal. Witness had visited at Mr. Cutbill's, and he
and his wife appeared to be happy. Witness saw Mrs.
Dahill several times on the subject, but he had no idea
things were 00 bad as they were till she suddenly announced
it to him. He told her at first that he thought things were
not so bad as they were represented, but he was sorry to
bear rumours of a criminal nature. She said she was a
guilty creature. She was much overcome by her feelings,
and said she had been guilty on two occasions in her own
drawing-room when her husband was at Maidstone, and
when the came home with Higley from her mo-
ther's. It was quite voluntary on her part, and
he held out no inducement to her, as he was de-
arose until then that then should be a reconcilia-
tion. Mr. Cutbill was greatly distressed, in estate of mind
bordering on frenzy, when witness, who thought things
had passed all hope of reconciliation, told him Mr.. Cutbill
had left lee husband in consequence of the rumours, and
it was at her mother's house she made the confession. From
that time Mr. Cutbill had discontinued all communication
, with her. The children were being educated by Mr.
, Cutbill.
