AN ITALIAN WIFE-BEATER.

On Tuesday st the Gla ‘w Police Court, to gen-
tleasauly looking MM. as I with molutsche, named
Giovanni Patting', wag drags& with usaalting his wife, a
pretty little young Ihelabwanaa. Oa the preceding evening,
on the platform at tie float .Western Railway Station.
It appeared that the Italian is a gentleman living in Scot-
land upon the proceeds of property he has in lime, and
was only married to the young lady on the 27th of June
last. Ile is quits ignorant of the English language, and his
wife of the Italia., and they can only very imperfectly under-
stand each other by an occasional word, and b gestate. On
Monday night they were on their way to Dumfries, and
bargained with a cab-driver to be driven from Anderston
Quay to the Railway Station at Eglinton-street for a
shilling. On crossing the bridge, an extra twopence
was demanded for toll, which wee refused, and on
arriving at the door of the station an alterca-
tion took place about the twopence, the woman
using all her powers of interpretation to make
her husband understand that the extra sum was
lastly due. But he would not pay, under a conviction that
it was an attempt to impose on him. Time was thus lost,
and the Italian got excited lest he should lose the train,
and, jostling his way through the passengers on the plat-
form, actually wreaked out his anger upon his young wife,
by kicking her repeatedly ; and such was the nature of the
assault, that the enraged Italian, instead of being permit-
ted to go into the carriage, was conveyed to tile police-
dike. Of coarse this did not improve his temper, and then,
although he produced plenty of money, he refused to allow
two sovereigns of it to be recognised as a pledge for his ap-
pearance next morning, and allowed himself to be locked up
In court an interpreter appeared, and the formerly iras-
cible Italian wee cool and collected. The wife thought the
whole affair, which had put her to much annoyance and in-
convenience, bad resulted from her husband being under
the impression that the extra charge was an extortion, end
from the difficulty of getting him to understand whit she
meant. She was far from desiring that he should be
punished. Bailie Gilmour cautioned him, through his in-
terpreter, to be more careful of his temper in future, and
dismissed him, and both politely left the cond.—North

CHARGE AGAINST COLLIERS OF OPENING THEIR
SAFETY LAMPA.—At the Wonky petty sessions, Lanw-
shim, two colliers, named John Oreenhalgh and Richard
Barry, were charged with breaking the rules of the
colliery on the estate of the late Duke of Bridge-
water, by removing the tops of their Davy lamps whilst at
work, to light their tobacco pipes. The charge was proved
by Mr. Ridyeril, inspector of the Worsley coal mines, who
bad found them in the act of committing the offence on
Tuesday when he entered the mine. He produced a copy
of the printed rules, and said the prisoners having been fined
three times for this offence before, it was desirable that
they should he made ant sample of in a more public man-
ner. The observance of the rules was absolutely necessary
for the preservation of the lives of the miners, and yet they
were so reckless as continually to break them. A good deal
of convenation took place upon the question in court, but
the case was ultimately disposed of by the offenders agree-
leg to sign a form of submieeion,to be made public, atknow-
lod2ing their fault, and 'premising not to offend again on
condition of forgiveness.

Yesterday the half-
-read meeting of the pro-
prietors took place at the Bridge House Hotel, London-
bridge;
reMporr.tiTan. Md
aceoun
•cuant,o Pn, M.., in the chair.
an abstract of which appeared
in the Erprest, of Sept. 10, were taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in an explanatory speech, moved that
the report of the directors and statement of accounts be re-
ceived and adopted.
Mr. Ransititw, deputy chairman, seconded the motion.
Mr. HAMILTON read a written speech containing Canoes
charges against the directors. He tint charged the direc-
tors with having brought up into the room a number of
servants of the company for the purpose of influencing the
proonediage aad then desired to be informed how soon
after writing a letter finding fault with the board Mr.
George Smith received a lucrative order to supply the
Lord Warden Hotel at Dover with glass and earthenware?
(Laughter )
Mr. STAINSIIVAT rose to order, protesting against Mr.
Hamilton's being allowed to read his speech.
The Cuttawas considered Mr. Hamilton to be in order ;
and thought that course of proceeding would be accelerated
by listening to him.
Mr. liallthvoX then read from the paper complaints of
the violent fluctuations of the shares, and of the purchase of
the Reading, Guildford. and Reigate line ; the latter he
stigmatised as damning to the chairman. Ho also inquired
why the sum of 6,0001. was added to the capital account for
additional engine, when no corresponding addition ap-
peared to have been Made to the stock. With regard to the
receipts he observed that with an increase of 36,0001. in the
half year, only f3d. per share was added to the dividend.
He condemned this low tariff of passenger fern to Rams-
gate aad Margate as ruinous and unnecessary, and attri-
buted the running of a late night train to the fact that
the chairman himself livid 17 miles down the line, and
therefore, he supposed, wished to be wafted home by it
after his senatorial labours, (Cries of" oh, oh.") Under
the present management he despaired of anything like
prosperity, but with a proper state of things the line would
be second to none in the kingdom.
Thil gave rise to an animated discussion, after which,
I,lr. WILSON moved as an amendment that the report be
adopted, with the exception of the debiting 2,6001. to enpi-
lel in respect of the expense of opposing the East Rent
line.

On the question being put, 12 hands only wan held up
for the amendment, and the original motion wee curled
by a large majority.
A dividend of Bs. was then declared.

The CHAIIIIILN then motel that the directors should
be authorised to raise 500,0001. under the powers of the
Whitby and Canterbury Railway and the Steam-boats'
Purchase Bill.

Mr. Rnzesnow seconded the motion.

Mr. thimicrow read another written address, amid great
interruption, many proprietors protecting against that mode
of delivery. Ilia chief object appeared to be to obtain, for
the inspection Milts shareholders g Ily, an account of
t►e holdings, an well as the names of proprietors.
The CHAIRMAN said the question involved had been sub-
mitted to two counsel, who differed in opinion on the point.
A list of proprietors had been published not long ego, in
which an asterisk was placed against the name of 'miry
proprietor of 6001. and upwards, and any ono could have it
for Is.

The resolution was thea carried.
Authority was then given to borrow 40,0001., to effect the
contemplated junction between the Reading, Guildford, and
Reigate line at Reading and the Great Western line.
The Cxatasux observed that whatever niightbe thought
of the Reading and Reigate line, it was at all events im-
proving. The traffic increased from 11,0001. in the that
half-year of 1862 to 19,0001. in the last half-year.
A raorairroa then moved th►t Mr. Wetham should fill
the vacant auditosehip.
The CHAIRMAN said the beard bad taken the opinion of
Sir Fitzroy Kelly and Mr. Welch, which was to the effect
that the vacancy could not be tilled up till the next
meeting.
After some conversation, Mr. Wetham withdrew.
The meeting was then made special, to authorise the pur-
chase of the Canterbury and Whitstable Railway, and of
the steamboats, as proposed in the report : and on the mo-
tion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr. 0. Smith, a motion
for that purpose was agreed to, there being only °as dis-
sentient.

A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro-
ceedings.

NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY.

The half-yearly general meeting of this company
took place at Edinburgh on Wednesday. Mr. BALFOUR.,
of Winningham', chairman of the company, presided.
After the usual preliminary business,
The CHAIRMAN proposed the adoption of the report. In
doing so, he congratulated the company on the improve-
ment which had taken place during the past half-year in
the traffic on the line. '1 hat this traffic was not so large as
could be wished for there was no doubt, but it was satisfac-
tory to know that it was steadily increasing, and that in no
item whatever had it decreased. The total increase on the
past half-year bad been about 7.oool.—the goods depart-
ment being the one on which the increase chiefly arose,
and on which the increase stall continued, amounting last
half-year to nearly 5,0001. of the whole. But he regretted
that, while the traffic held net these satisfactory prospects,
the expenditure during the half-year had not shown that
decrease they could have wished. With regard to the
new bill which had been obtained last session of par-
liament, the directors had anxiously looked forward to it,
as enabling them to pay off the liabilities due by the com-
pany, and to put a stop to the litigation whice had taken
place between different classes of the shareholders; and it
was a matter of great satisfaction to them to be enabled to
obtain it in the form, or very nearly in the form, in which
they applied for it. They hoped the shareholders would
agree with them in what they proposed, namely, to issue the
new stock at 5 per cent., and thus enable them to obtain a
sufficient premium to pay off the arrears in the prefer-
ence stock; and be hoped, also, they would be still
further able, by the premium that would accrue, to lay by
something for the future wants of the company. If they
did approve of the report and the scheme proposed, he felt
confident that in a short time they would be aisle to pay
off all the liabilities of the company ; and, free from pees•
niary difficulties, they would then be able to turn their
attention more to the development of the resources of the
line, so as, he hoped, not only to pay off all the dividends
accruing on the preference stock, but also to place this con-
cern among the list of those enabled to pay something to
the original shareholders.
Mr. Senor, deputy chairman, seconded the motion.
After some further remarks, the report was adopted ;
and the discussion oa the question of to whom the arrears
should be paid was continued, the Chairman submitting •
motion in terms of the report, that the arrears due on
shares whisk bad sot been transferred since the register
was closed sn As tad September, IEO2, should be torth-
with paid, mil dot the arrears on those which had changed
hands shed* be Wool in bank till the question between
the former sod present holders was decided.
Mr. EDDOES (Shields) moved, as an amendment, that
the whole of the arrears should be immediately paid to the
present registered preference shareholders, as the only
parties to whom the directors were responsible.
This motion was eventually carried, with the opulent of
the directors. _

A dividend at the rate of six per cent. en the guaranteed
stock was proposed and agreed to.
Boise discussion took plate on a claim of the preference
shareholders to 9831., being the amount of expenses in-
curred by them in aiding the carrying of the company's ast
of last session, which claim was eventually agreed to be paid
by the company.
The meeting was then resolved into a special one, and
the directors were empowered to raise 180,2001. by t►e crea-
tion of new shares guaranteed 5 per cent. to rank, pan
plain, with the other guaranteed stock of the company ; and
to raise 150,300 t. on mortgage.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE MANCHESTER,
SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY.

On Wednesday a melancholy accident happened
on this line, which resulted in the death of Mr. Hugh
Edwin Strickland, a gentleman of some literary and scien-
tific attainments, son of Mr. Henry Eustatius Strickland,
and grandson of Sir George Strickland, of Boynton, York-
shire. Mr. Strickland arrived at East Rctford, on Wednes-
day morning, from Bull, having attended the recant meet-
ing there of the British Association, of which he was a mem-
ber, and which eland its sittings on Monday night. Mr.
Strickland was attached to the geological section of the
associat'on, and in pursuance of his practical investigations
in that science he proceeded, on Wednesday afternoon, to
examine the strata of the deep cuttings, on each side of the
Clarbrough tunas)), on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lin-
colnshire line, about four miles distant from Retford. A little
after four o'clock, a boy at work in the fields observed
him standing between the two lines of rails, near the mouth
of the tunnel, on the Gainsbarough side, with a pocket
book in his hand, apparently engaged in making notes.
At this time a coal train was approaching on the down
line, to avoid which he stepped oil the " six feet " on to the
' up-line, but unhappily he did so just at the moment the
Great Northern passenger train was issuing from the
tunnel, and the approach of which he does not seem is
have perceived. The train dashed upon him, and the next
instant he lay a shattered and shapeless corpse. Informa-
-1 tion of the disaster was at once conveyed to the Retford
' station, whence an engine and tender were despatched for
the unfortunate gentleman's remains. At first these could
tint he identified, but ultimately the body was recognised
by Mr. J. S. Piercy, as that of Mr. 11. 0. Strickland,whom
Mr.Piercy had formerly known. His pocket-book contained
a pencil sketch of the strata of the Clarbrough Hills, and a
memorandum as follows :—" Waterstonu at Clarbrough cut-
ting, between Retford and Gainsbrough u:so at Gains-
brougb, lies between Gainsbrough and Blyton." The glass
and lace of his gold watch were broken, and the hands had
stopped at 29 minutes past 4, which was, no doubt, the
exact time when the accident took place.

IRELAND.

Denim, Barr. 13.
The following exceedingly gratifying communica-
tion, intimating the very favourable impression left
on the minds of her Majesty and her royal consort
by their late visit to Ireland, was received yesterday
by the Lord Mayor of Dublin:—
Whitehall, 12th September, 1853.
My Lord—lt is with much satisfaction that I immane-
nt* to your lordship, by command of the Queen, the ex-
pression of her Majesty's entire satisfaction with all the ar-
rangements made for her reception on the occasion of her
late visit to the city of Dublin. The enthusiastic loyalty
displayed by her Irish subjects, and the order and good
feeling which universally prevailed among them, have let
upon the minds of her Majesty and of the Prince, her royal
contort, the most agreeable impression; and I am com-
manded to convey this &mune* to your lordship, in the
name of the Queen snd of the Prince.
1 have the honour to be, my lord,
Your lordship's obedient servant,
PALMBRITOX.
The Rieht Hoe. the Lord Mayor of Dublin.
I regret to say that notwithstanding the sanguine
hopes that had been raised on the subject, very un-
satisfactory accounts of the potato crop have begun
to reach us from several quarters within the last
two or three days. The blight has set in more or
less extensively in every part of the country, and in
some places it has already inflicted very serious
damage. We might Satter ourselves with the hope
that these accounts are exaggerated ; and no doubt
some of them are to a great extent ; but:unfortn-
nately there is but too palpable a testimony in their
support brought under our own eyes, a very large
portion of the potatoes exhibited for sale: in the Dub-
lin markets for the last few days presenting the
symptoms of the fatal disease. The beat qualities of
potatoes are still, however, nearly exempt, and the
crop has been so abundant, that it is to be hoped
enough will remain for consumption even after the
destruction of a large quantity. The following har-
vest note appears in the Limerick Chronicle, received
this morning:
There will not be a field of wheat throughtat the county
Limerick left standing at the close of this week, the greater
part having been already out and stacked, if not prepared
for immediate market. It is, however, the smallest crop of
grain in this as in every other Irish county, oats occupying
considerably more ground upon every farm than wheat
and barley together. In the district of Fenny, from the
inquiries making by the police, it appears the potato crop
is decaying fast, but the farmers have nearly completed
their hay and corn harvest, which is very productive.
Farmers have cause to exult in the market prices of their
eons this harvest, compared with that of last year. This
time twelve months new wheat sold at lid. to 14d. per
stone; do. oats, 7d. to Bd. ; do. barley, 7d. to 9d. The
prices of new wheat this week are 18d. to 181 d. per stone;
oats, 91 to 91d.; and barley, lid. to llid. Last September
first flour was only 225. 64. per sack, and it is this month
465. Prices of butter in September last year, 70.. to 765.,
and this month it is up to 92a. and 945. per cwt.
Yesterday there was a sale of the goods and chat-
tels of William Burke Kirwan, whose property be-
came vested in the crown, upon his conviction for
the murder of his wife at Ireland's Eye. The sale
took place at the convict's late residence, 11, Upper
Merrion-street.

The following paragraph appears in Saunders's
News Leiter:

A few days sines Constable Sherwood found a white silk
pocket-handkerchief, much faded, thrust into a hole, and a
lump of stone jamming it in, as if for concealment. This
was near to where the body of the late Mrs. Kirwan was
found. There was a knot on one end of the handkerchief,
and the wuberwoman of the Kirwan.' is stated to be fully
able to identify it as their property. There are no lettere
or marks upon it, and none of their handkerchiefs bore any
marks. It is a remarkable fact, that the " Body-rock" on
which the corpse of Mrs. Kirwan was found has been totally
carried away is email fragments by the tourists who visited
Ireland's Eye during the season.
Sir George Nicholls, the orginal organiser of the
poor law system in Leland, has made the following
entry in the books of the North Dublin Workhouse,
which he visited this week:
I have inspected the workhouse and the establishment at
Olssnevia with great pleasure. Not only are cleanliness,
good order, and good health observable generally amoni
the inmates, but their useful employment ie fully attend
to, and the training and education of the children appear I
me perfect, and reflect the highest credit on the guardians'.
and their officers. I have found in the North Dublin Work-
house all that I ever dared to wish or hope for as the re-
sults of the Irish Poor Law; and it is to me a source of
much happiness to be enabled to record this testimony.

Three ladies, whilst reading on a reef of rocks at

which rolled in fast, completely submerging the ground
and carrying them out to sea with its rapid reflux. Imme-

dashed into the sea after tho drowning ladies, and with
much difficulty and at great ri-k to their own lives, brought
them safe to shore, where they lay insensible, surrounded

sufferers, hastened with tho utmost despatch for Dr.

mediately applied himself to restore animation. Under
such skilful treatment his patients gradually recovered, and
ho had them conveyed at once to the bath-house, where a
warm immersion perfectly restored the natural warmth,
and the ladies were soon after escorted home by their

A 111 Ax Suor.—A man named Leo a short time
ago paid a sum of monnewc to a tenant on Lord Ormonde's
estate, heavily in arrest and who has since gone to Ame-
rica) for the so-called g -will of about four acres of land
at enotehill, near Windgap, in this county. This was done
contrary to the talcs of the estate, and without the
sanction or approval of his lordship or his agent, and
after the parties had been repeatedly cautioned to the
contrary. Li,' persevered in keeping possession, and on
Wednesday last the matter was investigated in Lord
Ormonde's presence, who decided that the money ori-
ginally agreed upon for the goodwill of the former holder
should Ire returned to Lee, and the land given to another
tenant, in the centre of whose land those four acres lay,
allowing Lee to take the crop he bad planted, free of any
charge. On Saturday last a bailiff named Hurley was
sent to have this arrangement carried out, when, in con-
sequence of some altercation, Hurley borrowed a gun from
a gamekeeper near, and went on the lands in dispute.
Subsequently a scuffle ensued, and unfortunately liurley
fired at and badly wounded Lee, who now lies in a danger-
ous state. Hurley is in eustodv.—Kilkenny Moderator.

Oaly a partial settlement was made in the morning ; the
general settling will be as usual at Tattenall's on Monday
next. So far as the business was conducted the proceed•
ings were satisfactory. A good deal of money having been
" shifted" a few hours before the race, several parties stood
comparatively harmless. The " Leviathan," by earns for-
tuitous circumstances, was a winner. The principal parties
who are " bit have, it appears, ample pecuniary stren3th
to bear it.
