street, is the Strand, and in consideration of there being two
persons with him is the cab, he gave him 25., being aware
that the legal fare was only half that amount. Shortly after,
hearing a disturbance, he was obliged to come down stairs,
and on gqnestloaiog the defendant upon what grounds he felt
diwatisged with what he had given him he beCIZOI exceed-
ingly abusive in his language, saying, " Do you think you
are acting like a gentleman ?—if you want the money I *h+ll
return it to you," at the same time desiring him to send for
a policeman if he thought proper ,• and, in order to remove
the 'minuses, he gave him the further sum he demanded.
In answer to the charge, the defendant said, the night was
very wet, and he thought the gentlemen would not inject to
give him the additional sixpence.
ldr. Henry told him he had been charged in the original
summons, which he did not attend to, with an overcharge ;
and, taking into nossideration the abusive language ha had
used in mating the demand, he would teach him to conduct
himself fa future mere cautiously by ordering him to pay •
floe of 40s. with costs, or be sent to prison for one month.

GUADALCANAL SILVER MINING

ASSOCIATION.

- -
The first general meeting. of the shareholders in
the mines of oaadsleanal (Spam) took plsee at the cMtoes
of the association, in Broad-street-building', yesterdny,
Mr. 0. A. HVILZY in the chair. A liege body of the

shareholden was pretest.
The Stomata read the report of the directors, which
stated that " the water heel been forked to the 30 fin. level
in Jammu last; that the necessary machinery havirg
bees erected in the diagonal shaft sad the engine
n at work, the water was by this date forked
again
to the 61 fathom level. Ia Marsh, twenty additional
miners were despatched to the mines from Corners 1, who
were now actively it work, and an assay. of ore found in the
30 fathom level had Oven • result of 0,666 ounces of fine
silver to the ton of 20 cert., equal to 161 ounces per cent.
The Bpsnish company of whom the mines are leased had
ailksred to pay one-third of the cost of 'rectal" dressing ma-
ddateey on the mines—a strong evidence of their (pintos' of
the ultimate prosperity of the undertaking.
The ac:oonta of the association had been audited to Mara
het, by which it appeared that to that date 6,6361. Bs. 611,
had been expended, leaving a balance available of
4,4641. lls. 7d. for the further eat of unwaterhig and de-
veloping the mines, for which purpoees it was deemed sad-
cient. The expenses at the mines are estimated at less theta
5061. a month, the salaries and expenditure in Enema yea,
light, and remuneration to the directors is deferred, at their
own suggestion, until the mines yield a profit."
This report was unanimously adopted, and ordered to be
printed and circulated. The thanks to the directors for their
attention to the interests of the association, and also their
zeal and economy in its matugemeat, were passed by 'eels-
matioa.
A letter was read from the captain of the mines, dated
May IS, la which he states that, on clearing away some
rubbish in the 31 fathom level of Pozo Rico, he bad met with
ground which had not been worked and broke away.
" 8-me good work and fine specimens; and," he adds, "if
the ioioersi be as rich as the samples, I estimate the around
of which 1 think there is • good deal here, as worth 301.
,per
fathom." Ile also state, as his opinion that " the main pert
of the lode from this place south has never been worked."
The directors Lava the fullest confidence in the richness of
the mines, and as during the uawsteriag all the prelims in-
format's has been vended In every step, so they rely most
fully in a satisfactory progress and an early and prosperous
result.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.

Yesterday was appointed by the Royal Thames
Yacht Club fora sailing match, the prize to be contended
for being two silver cups, the one for the first clue contain.
ing 80 sovereigns, and that for the second clam 40 sovereigns.
There were 10 yachts entered ter the nee. The memben of
the club and their friends had mustered in unusual free,
and at 10 o'clock a goodly company left the Adelaide-wharf,
i•elow Lyndon-bridge. The weather was splendid, end the
Stir steamer, which had been chartered for the occasion,
hastened on its way to Erith Reach, where the little ihet
was drawn out ready to start from its moorings. A signal
from the steamer warned each craft to prepare, and in-
s•antly the crews were seen clustering round the mast;,
or up aloft in the rigging. Another gun from the
steamer and up went the snow-white canvass like magic,
and people crowded to the near side of the Star to see the
race begin ; but then came the annoying fast, that the
sills, SO cool, so spacious and inviting, would nu fill—that
there was not a whiff—not a breath of sir stirrivg--and that
what progress each tiny vessel made depended entirely on
the strength of the receding current. Under circumatacces
FO unfavourable the provision boat and the collier might enter
into the race with some chance of success, sad their ungainly
forms were more than once seen mingled up with the light
and tapering outlines of the yachts. It was in vain that
immense gaff-topsails were spread, and that the river banks
were closely hugged, and that every manoeuvre and expe-
dient was adopted for catching any stray airs. Even the small
pennons et the mastheads refused to Butter, and the match
degenerated co a drift.
The start took place at six minutes past 12 o'clock, and at
a quarter-put two the little !feet had not reached Green-
hithe. When between Grays and that place the commodore
(Lord Alfred Paget) gave the signal for discontinuing the
match, and announced that it was postponed till Saturday,
the 16th of June.

FRANCE.

The National publishes the following correspondence
between M. Marlin, the president of the republic of
Venice, and M. Jules Bastide, when the latter was
Minister of Foreign Affairs in France :
Siz,—To a private letter addressed by me on the 20th
August last to Lord Palmerston, I have just received the an-
nexed answer, dated the 16th October inst. The minister
avows his designs with regard to Venice with the greatest
candour. Now, sir, a similar frankness I claim from your
known honourable nrisciples. It is just that we should
learn whether the Venetians who, from the commencement
of the revolution, have proclaimed the republican principle,
and addressed themselves to Prance, relying upon her aid,
are to be abandoned by France, and left henceforth
to their despair or their reliance upon God alone. It
is not the president of the little republic of Venice who asks
'this of the minister of the powerful republic of France—it is
the citizen who applies to the citizen—the honest man who
addresses himself to the honest man.
__

DANIEL MANILA,
President of the &public of Venice.
Paris Nov. 17, MS.
. .

Sir,—l know not what God has in reserve for mi.country,
but as long as I have the direction of her foreign affairs
France will not abandon the cause of Venice; for you are a
brave people, whom a noble-minded nation con never suffer
to perish. I consider that an attack upon Venice would be
on the part of the Austrians a violation of our accepted me-
diation ; it would be the same with a blockade conducted in
ouch a manner as to produce the forced surrender of Venice.
I have therefore taken all the measures in my power to re-
vent an attack or an effective blockade. The ships of our
statics in the Adriatic have been forced to withdraw to ob-
tain provision,. Others will immediately replace them.
There is, I know, a policy which wishes to make Venice a
ransom fur Lombardy. This is not my policy. Never will
I agree to a treaty of Campo Formic. If, then, I were sure
of remsising in power, I would say to you—have full coati.
dunce. But France is on the eve of a crisis which may
bring in other men, other principles. I can therefore an-
swer only fcr the good will of myself and my go ernment.
This is what I have to gay in answer to your candid qucs
Lion. Health and prosperity. Jt,LES BASTIDE,
Minister of Foreign Affairs.

The English fends maintained the same degree of
firmness at the commencement of business as was
manifested at the close on Saturday, when a few
heavy asks towards the close caused them to droop
a little, and they gave way 1.

a slight improvement in Russian and Mexican Stock.

The commercial advice' received from the United
States, by the mail steamer Europa, of which a
report was given in this morning's Daily News,
state that arrivals of gold dust from California, at
New York, had been considerable, and had made
some impression in the United State Stocks, and
Treasury Notes were at one time as high as 1171.
and were last sold at 116. Other state securities had
been similarly affected, and all stocks of reputation
were quoted considerably higher since the preceding

Money was abundant, and the exchange on London
was quoted at 109 to 1094, in which there was little
doing, and still less in continental exchanges. Banks
and capitalists were disposed to lend on first-clam
meantime at a moderate interest, and negotiations
had been made to some extent at live per cent, and
it is reported that svenlower terms bad been accepted
rather than hold money unemployed. The advises
from New Orleans stabs that the cotton market con-
tinued without alteration. The steamer, Crescent

STATE OF THE POLL.

At eight o'clock this morning the vicinity of Guild-
hall, and the booths in the several wards in the City, pre-
sented a scene of activity from the several polling clerks
taking their seats at their respective booths. As soon as the
sheriffs appeared on the hustings at Guildhall, Mr. Brown,
the secretary to the Conservative Association, applied to the
sheriffs to be allowed to serve on the livery, as they came up
and tendered their votes, a protest, which was refused, the
sheriffs considering that it interfered with the freedom of
election. Subsequently legal opinion was obtained, and, at
hall-put ten o'clock, the sheriffs admitted the right of the
party to servo the notice, when, as each voter entered, the
protest was handed.
The following is the opinion of 2.1. D. Hill, Q.C., in
answer to the protest :
" I am of opinion that the election of Baron Rothschild to
be a member of parliament (or the city of Locdon would be
a valid election, notwithstanding his religious faith and
opinions ; that such election is in no way effected by what
has taken place in the House of Lords or elsewhere ; that
whether or not the baron, if elected, shall think fit to take
such oaths as will entitle him to sit and vote, does not touch
the question of his right to be a member, and that any antics
to the electors that their votes will be thrown away in the
event of their voting for the Baron Rothschild, will be nuga-
Maenad ought not to be regarded.—M. D. RILL."

BADEN AND THE PALATINATE—The latest
intelligence from the seat of w.r is to the night sf the
29th ult.
All ace nuts agree in stating that there was a sac-
guinnry bottle on that day in the neighbourhood of
Malasch and Nluggensturat, small towns situated be-
tween Carlsruhe and Rastadt. The contest raged
from t'n in the moreng till nigh-fall; and even j mr-
awls favourable to the Prussians admit that the loss
of the latter was considerable. Some of those jour-
nals ass rt that the Prussians mice efled in re-
pulsing the revolutionary army, and even in
taking possees;on of the outer works of the
f *dress of Ras'adt. It appears that a num-
ber of the citizens of Rastadt are in favour of
the Prussians, but that ell attempts on the part of the
former to induce the Baden soldiers to desert the re-
volutionary cause have failed. The Baden soldiers,
it is admited on ell sides, fight deeper etely, so that
if an attempt he male to take Rastadt by 'torn, the
loss of Ifa on the port of the assailants will be very
great. It is uuderst 'od that the fortress is provisioned
to two months. On the evening of the 29. L, the
position of the Prussian troops was as follows :
The head-quarters of the Prince of Prussia (who has
15,000 men tinier his immediate command) were at
%hock), the advarcel posts iu Maggensturm, which
was taken by atom.
Lieut.-Gen. Trucker, on the port of the troops of
the empire, had taken Baden-Baden, in order to cut
off the retreat of the insurgents towards the !noun-

CHAItHE Or CHILD MURDER.

3lnry Anne Hoyden, 31, was placed at the bar to take her
trial upon en iudictme•nt charging her with the wilful
murder of her female child, by drowning it.
Mr. elarksan, who appeared fur the defence, said that he
was instructed to produce evidence to show that he prisoner
was insane; but in cuniequence of the opinion 01 Mr.
M'Murdo. the surgeon of toe gaol, upon that subject, he
apprehended it would be quite unneceesary that the cm-
should be gone into, as the evidence of Mr. M'Murdu would
sLow that at the present time she was insane, and was not in
a fit state of rci:al to pled to the isdiciment.
Mr. Justice Coltman then directed that a jury should be
empanelled to divot.e of the question u to the sanity or in-
sanity of the prisoner.
Mr. 21'M unto was sworn up( n the roire dire, and (hp teed
that, in his opinion, the prisoner was insane at the present
time, and incapable of understanding what was going on or
of pleading to the indictment.
The jury returned a verdict to that effect, and the prisoner
was ordered t e be detained in custody until she should be in

variation they closed at 91Z, at which the last trans-
actions were marked. ne Three per Cents. Reduced

DEATH OP SIR ROBERT WILSON.

We deeply regret to announce the detth of one of
one of our most disinguithed men. General Sir Robert
Thomas Wilson, treathed is last this morning, at
eight o'cirek, after a tn. f illness ; he rose at half-
rest sewn o'clock, and yin, shortly afterwaris expired.
Sir Robert Wilson, at the time of his death, was Colonel of
the 15th Bursars; en his tint entrance into that oorps be
was tone of a gallant band of young oaken who released
the Emperth of Austria from a poidtlon of &M-
-eshy. He afterwards served in Egypt, Spain, and Portugal,
and nieed and organised the Luitanian Won, with whiph
corps he rendered essential genial to our army in the
Psoinsula end was subsequently the British oath-
saiseloner with the Russian army during Napoleon's
eampeign • and it was he who and the Russians
egaimit a Leret plot for putting them into the lends of the
Fitach. Sir Robert represented Southwark in perliam.
He recently relinquished the governorship of Gibraltar. We
believe Sir R. Wilson was about 76 years of age.

ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A WOMAN

BY RBA HUSBAND.

At Banbury, on Monday, a desperate attempt Mae
made by a man, named James Laytoo, to murder his wile by
shooting her, and afterwards cutting her throat. The
parties are both Datives of Banbury, though fur some time
pot resident at Leamington, where the huabead wee a
builder, and had aermulaud some property, being ,the
owner of nine or ten bosses in that place. They have a
family of sir or seven children; and a son el the wife, Wen
previous to her starrier with Layton, resided with them.
Then appears to have beets some disputes recently about
this property, end Leta' moored his wife, her son, and one

defraud him of it. Oa Monday he set off with his wife to
walk to Basicity.
They were seen together upon the read six or seven age.
from ninny. Or man who saw them thought they were
"• sweetbserting," as lA3rlon had his era over his *A's
shoulder. When they reached the spot above referred to,
Layton put a pistol close to his wife's forehead, the poor
woman age he put it quite reel. her boort, and fled it.
An abler pro of lest with which it was loaded struck her
ea the forehead, mid the powder burnt her face ; ha then
teak eat a large table knife, with tibia he at her threat,
mad also warded bee She screamed, and se sane
porous being within hearing they ran to her usistance, end
several of them went is pursuit of Layton, who ran into the
fields. He was earated, and taken to the Bell, at Beat
Boartoe, a village about a quarter of a mile distant, to
which place also his wife was conveyed.
The following day (yesterday) one of the county =Nie-
-1 I Orates took he depo•ition of the injured woman, in which
she lauded the 11000Unt given above, adding that her
Whoa bed frequently threatened to shoot her. The man
was ezaidsed before the magistrates and remanded till

solved, without discussion, that it would proceed

Before )17. &spent Adams (aseruutt Judgej and a Busch of Mo.
ter.
The January adjourned sessions commenced yesterday
morning. The court was occupied in hearing widow and
appeals. There were 66 eases on the list of buns. is for the
day. 47 of which were parish appeals involving the ramoval
and settlement of paupers, which were as asufil devoid of
interest. The Windsor, Seines, and South Western Rail-
way Company bad four appeals against the poor's rate of the
partite. of Staines, Feltham, Ashford, and Twickenham,
hut they were struck out of the list —The Chelsea
Waterworks Company appealed against the poor-rate
of the parishes of St. Margaret and Bt. John the
Evangelist, Westminster. This cree, it appeared, had
been entered for hearing at the last Quarter Bee
lions, but it win not heard. &not then it was submitted to
arbitration, the result of which was that a valuation of 1961
above the armament (1 7001.) had been placed upon the pro-
perty.—Mr. Bodkin now applied on behalf of the above pa-
rishes for the court to make an order on the appellants for
the costs of the proceedings. The respondents, he said, were
satisfied to let the old assessment at 1,7001. stand good for the
present, but they had a ?Lin to be relieved from the costs.—
The court confirmed the rule, but refined the application for
C all.
