LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY.

In answer to Major Hinman,
Sir S. NORTHCOTE could not say that his attention
had been officially directed to the London, Chrthain, and
Dover Railway, but he had learned from the usual mimes
of information that that very important line was in a very
peculiar position, and that, in point of fact, a receiver had
been appointed by the Court of Chancery. The agent of
the company had called upon him the other day, and had in-
vited his attention to a clause which was proposed to be
inserted in a bill at present before the House of Lords, the
effect of which would be to enable the company
to raise by preferential shares a sum of morey
which would be sufficient to cover the amount
now owing with respect to land which it bad purchased.
According to his account, there was a large amount of land
which the company had bought, but which it had not paid
for, and for which it was indebted to the extent of 700,000 i.
If the landowners could not get their money it was sug-
gested that they might exercise their right of taking pos•
session of the property, for which they bad not been paid,
and u the land happened to be material to the whole un-
dertaking, connected as it chiefly wao with the Metropolitan
Extension Company such a step would be inconvenient to
the public and prejudicial to those who were connected
with other portions of the line. The company, through its
agent, ask e(1 whether the Board of Trade did not consider
that that clause would be desirable, as it would give the
means at raising the neeessery money and enable it to
carry out its works ; and whether it would not be ad-
vantageous both to the public and to the share
and debenture holders, because the receiver after
providing for the working expenses would be bound to
apply the surplus revenues to pay off the percentage money
of this land ; an object which mould take him several
years to accomplish. The Board of Trade were of opinion
that such an arrangement as was suggested, if it could be
carried into effect, would bee desirable one ; but be (Sir S.
Nortbeote) had sine* been informed that an objection had
been raised to the clause. He did not know what was its
nature ; but he believed that whatever arrangement was
adopted there was little dooht that the traffic of the line
would be continued. Whether it was carried on under
arrangements convenient to the public or not, he did not
apprehend that there would be any stoppage of the line.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND THE

lIINIAI-IitISONERS IN CANADA.

The following despatches are published in the
American journals :
Department of Slate, Washington, Oct. 27, IW.
D. Thurston, Esq., United States Consul, Toronto, C.W.
Sir,—For your information I enclose a copy of a note of
this date which I have addressed to Sir Frederick W. A.
Bruce, the British minister here, upon the subject of the
conviction and sentence of James Lynch and John
M'Afahon, by a colonial court of Canada, on the charge of
complicity and participation in the late attack on Fort
Erie. _ .

In acoordance with the purpose expremed in that com-
munication, you are expected to procure, without delay,
for the use of this department, a oopy of the record of the
trial and conviction of Lynch and Widahon, and also of
all further trials and convictions of a similar character
which shall take place in Canada, with the lent possible
delay after their termination.—l am, sir, your obedient
servant, Wrimait Eitsivaaa.

yet bad time to enlarge the budget of their pri-
vate charity in the same proportion as the rest of
their expenditure. But the principal cause is to be
looked for in that general looking to government
for everything, and the small number of great
landed proprietors. Fortunes invested in the
funds and other stocks do not feel that they owe
anything to anybody. They have no solidarity
with the less fortunate classes, and this is one of ,
the obstacles which the whole system of French
society presents to large-handed charity.
. The Bourse has been very good to-day. It
opened with a rise on almost all descriptions of
securities, and dosed without any relapse. Rento
opened at 69fr., a vigorous effort to bring it down
failed signally as it closed at 69fr. 15c. for cash and
gefr. I2ic. for account, a rise of 15c. and 20c. The
group of the companies connected with the Credit
Mobilier was equally favoured. The Mobilier was
quoted 615 fr. and 613 fr. 75c., an improvement of
90fr. and 21fr. 250. ; the Mobilier Espagnol,
317 fr. 50c. and 320 c., being 7fr. 50c. and 13fr.
higher than yesterday. It is understood that a
new emission of shares of the Compagnie Immo-
bake, contrived by the Credit Mobilier, with a
lottery attached, is the reason of this rapid rise in
the prices in all the companies connected with the
establishment presided over by MM. Periere.

THE POLICE COURT&

MARYLEBONE.
Two youths, each of whom appeared to be about 17 years
of age, named Joseph Powell and Frederick Balky, caster-
mongers, and living in the neighbourhood of Limon-grove,
were brought up and charged with having maliciously
wounded and killed a horse belonging to William Henry
Palmer.
Mr. Johnson appeared for the prisoners.
It appeared that the horse was tee property of a general
dealer and carrier named Palmer, who sometimes employed
PowelL On the 30th ult., the prisoners were in the stable
where the horse was, a d from the violent movements of
the animal it was suspected that they were doing some-
thing to it. A girl named Leman looked through • hole
in the wall, and saw Powell poking at the animal with a
stick and putting lighted paper under its nose, and another
witness entered the stable in time to see the horse rolling
about in convulsions and die.
Robert Moore anti Thomas Henley, in the employ of
Mr. Stronach, horse slaughterer, said they examined the
horse, and on opening it found the skin of the belly
broken and torn. There was a quantity of coagulated
blood in the inside. Something bad been forced along the
inside, and scratched the spine of the back, but did pot
reach the kidneys quite. Found • clot of blood by the
liver. The horse had been healthy, and in good condition
for an old one.
Mr. Arthur Cherry, the police veterinary surgeon, said
he was certain the injuries were the result of extreme
violence, and not from the spontaneous rupture of any
bloodveasel. It appeared to him what he might term a
smaahing up of the bowels. The whip-handle produced )a
thick heavy one, brass mounted) would cause such injuries.
Mr. blansfield discharged Batley, and said the case was
so clear against Powell, that lie must be committed for
trial. lie refused to accept bail for his appearance at the
sessions.

THE FENIAN TRIALS.

DUBLIN, PimAy NIGH?.

Andrew Kennedy pleaded guilty, and was sen-
tenced to five years' penal servitude. The Attorney-
General stated that it was not his intention to
bring forward any more cases at the present com-
mission. The court had now been sitting without
intermission since the 27th November until the
present time. They had tried 41 cases, 36 pri-
soners had been convicted, and five acquitted ; and
in one case only had there been a disagreement. All
the leaders of the conspiracy, with the exception of
James Stephens, had been found guilty, and with
respect to the rank and file the crown had no
desire to pursue them if they returned to their
allegiance.
Judge Keogh congratulated the grand jury on
the termination of their labours, and complimented
the counsel for the crown on the calmness, modera-
tion, and firmness with which they had conducted
the prosecutions. He expressed the pain which he
felt at the conduct of the wicked men who were
now reaping the consequences of their folly. They
had brought upon themselves and their families the
most tereible punishment, and had frustrated the
best hopes, and paralysed the energies of the
country. He concluded by expressing a hope that
peace and industry would yet prevail in the land.
Judge Fitzgerald expressed his concurrence in
what had fallen from his learned brother, and said
that the decisions of the juries in the several cases
brought before them amounted collectively to the
verdict of the intelligence of the country against
this wicked, disastrous, and insane conspiracy.
The commission then closed.

TWO SHOCKING DEATBS BY FIRE.

Mr. Payne, coroner, last evening held two
iwlsests at Guy's Hospital relative to the deaths by fire of
Ellen Went, aged 25 years, and Elizabeth Hainwash, aged
9 jean.
The woman Ellen West was the wife of a general
dealer living at No. 8, Webber-street, Lambeth. On last
Teesday night ahe returned home with her little daughter,
sad was then nearly drunk. She went to bed with the
little girl and pet the candle on the bed. In a few minutes
she was set en tire and she rushed downstairs in a body
ci flame, scrc..ming wildly. After some delay the fire was
extinguished, end she was conveyed to the hospital dread-
fully charred all over the body. She died from her injuries
is a few hours. _ . .

In the caw of the girl Elizabeth Hainwash, it was proved
that she was the daughter of a labourer living at 10, Wal-
pole-place. Woolwich. On Wednesday evening last, while
in a neighbour's house playing with the children, she set
benelf on fire by standing on the fender to get something
off the niantlefilielf. She was burnt in a frightful manner
before the dames could be extinguished. A doctor was
sent for, and he ordered her removal to the hospital. The
garish relieving officer hail to be called in, and he gave 2s.
to, pay for her carriage by the railway up to London-
bridge. She died the next day.
In each CaAt a verdict of " Accidental death by fire
wu returned by the jury.

THE FENIAN INVASION.-If certain rumours
which have reached us from a most credible source be well I
founded, it would appear that Head Centre Stephens'a de-
elarations in America touching an early visit to Ireland
are something more than mere idle rhodomontade. It is
said that her Majesty's government are perfectly cognisant
of the fact that Fenians in large numbers are arriving in
Ireland every week, and have made arrangements which
will ensure for those interesting visitors the proper amount
of hospitality and attention. In view of such a state of
things, it is not at all likely that the amount of military
force stationed in Ireland will be diminished during the
lament, or even in the ensuing year.—United Service

Mr. Huddleston, Q.C. and Mr. H. F. Lewis appeared

it was the same. The defendant and his daughter per-

performance.

THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS.

BERLIN, Nov. 16.

In the Chamber of Deputies to-day, the Finance
Minister brought in a bill regulating the pensions
and allowances to the leaders of the Prussian army
during the late war. The Minister also asked that
one and a half million thalers might be set apart
out of the war indemnities for disposal by his
Majesty the King. After a lengthened debate, the
bill was referred to a special committee.
The house resolved that the President should
conduct the preliminary debate upon the budget,
and that no reporters should be appointed for the
different branches of the budget.

THE SAXON CHAMBERS.

DRESDEN, Nov. IG.

At the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies to-
day, State Minister Von Friesen declared in the
most positive manner that Saxony had concluded
no alliance with Austria either before or during
the war. The minister added that Saxony had
faithfully observed the promise to that effect given
by Baron vuu Beust.
London, England, 1866-11-17

THE WEEKLY PRESS.

The bills of indictment against Ramsay and
others, charged with murder, have been thrown out
remarks the Examiner, by a Jamaica grand jury:
not sithstanding the judge)! most distinct and emphatic
instruction that there were grounds for trial. Ramsay
bad hung a man sentenced to be flogged, and inflicted the
capital after the other punishment. There could be no
doubt about the crime, but the sufferer was a negro, and
the grand jury were whites, and such whites as the un-
happy state of society in Jamaica produces. The denial of
justice does not in the least surprise us. When it was
announced that the principal culprits charged with murder
or cruelties were to be prosecuted in the colony, we ex-
pressed our conviction that the spirit of partisanship
would render any proceedings • mere mockery of justioe.
The worse tho case the greater the favour it would find.
The antipathies riot in Jamaica. It was the systematic
denial of justice that led to the murderous outbreak at
Morant Bay, and if it were wished to make another Hayti
of the island, to make the black population despair of
redress for wrongs would be the surest mode of bringing
about the horrible object. How justice is to be had in
Jamaica we cannot pretend to say, but certainly it is not
to be had by trial by jury with an Eyre in every
juryman.
The Examiner says that the fate of the Fenian' under
sentence of death in Canada should be decided without
any regard for the construction that may be put on an act
of grace. Let the criminals suffer suitable punishment
for their unprovoked outrage, but not the penalty re-
served exclusively for murder. If they had done on our
own shores what they had done on the Canadian frontier
they would h►ve been shot and bayoneted on the field,
but when captured they would not have been hung by
process of law. A long term of penal servitude would
satisfy justice and keep her on good terms with hu-
manity.
The Saturday Retina, discussing the armies of Europe,
thinks the report of our own recruiting commissioners one
of the most extraordinary of the military reports which

the present crisis has called forth. Our military system
is so bad, it is ea hampered by its relations to the roya
family, so paralysed by divided authority, and possesses so
few attractions for deserving men, either u officers or
private soldiers, that probably no change will take place
in it until change bee been forced on us by a great dis-
aster. But, at any rate, let us comfort ourselves by
