GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.

After our report left yesterday,
A SHAREHOLDER, who contended that the company had
been ruined by branches, trusted that the proprietors
would not assent to the bill, but moist upon going to par-
liament to release them of their liabilities under existing
acts. _

Mr. You:cc reminded the meeting that if the Bargoed
line was not completed by June next they were liable to a
penalty of 501. a day. The present bill would extend the
time for making that line,and largely reduce the pecuniary
liability of the company for its construction. The bill
Empowered the company to raise the money by preference
shares.

In answer to questions,
The !KHAN said that such shares would not be issued
at a discount, and the bill provided that the priority rights
of all existing preferences should be saved. He moved a
resolution affirming the bill.
Mr. Woon, deputy.chair' man, seconded the motion, re-
peating the statement that the object of the bill wee to get
rid of or reduce existingliabiliries. The shareholders' coin.
mittee, who had held their meetings entirely independent
of the board, which had however given them access to all
books and documents, were satisfied that it would have
the effect intended, and recommended its adoption.
A SHAREHOLDER COMplailed that it WAR preposterous
to ask them to assent to so largo and complicated a bill
with the insufficisat information they now had.. Another
proprietor recommended that each railway should
be managed by three efficient men of business who
should be well paid, and that the existing board of
directors should be dispensed with.
Captain HOLLAND wished to move an amendment,
making temporary loans illegal under the bill.
After • discussion, the tone of which was generally
hostile to the bill,
Mr Gimi repeated that the committee bad gone closely
into the subject, and were of opinion that the bill was
wisely devised for the purpose of limiting the obligations
of the company. He did not imagine it would be ocintein-
plated to go to parliament for leave to repudiate their
St
engagements.RiHLDEß—What 12 the revenue to be derived
from this outlay!
Mr. GiLls—This is part of the engagements we cannot
repudiate. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. ARTHUR Mitts, who said that the bill was evidently
one in the direction of retrenchment, hoped it would be
affirmed without any division. (Cheers.)
The Chairman expressed confidence that, if they
limited expenditure to making sidings, providing
Jelling stock, and other matters necessary for de.e.
loping the traffic, and avoided branches and eaten,
sions, they would soon see the company out of its
difficulties. That would be the policy of the board. In
answer to Mr. Heath. he added that be was not prepared
to give an opinion as to the precise legal position of the 6
per cent. preference stock m relation to the other pre-
ferences.

DARING RTRIZT -COMMITTAL.

James Smalls, aged 20, described as of no occupation,
was charged before Mr. Barker with stealing from the
person of Thomas Crane a silver watch in the Farringdon-
road. _ _

The prosecutor was looking at a man selling purees, and
whilst there he felt something at his chain, but on looking
round be saw the prisoner with his (prosecutor's) chain in
his hand. The prosecutor said to the prisoner, " You
villain, leave go of my chain," and whilst he was peaking
to him the prisoner broke the chain and ran away with
the watch. He was pursued, and the prosecutor called
out " Stop thief." The prisoner was stopped by Mr. John
Parker, of 6, Constance-street, and whilst he was holding
him the prisoner threw away the prosecutor's watch.
He was given into the custody of Police-constsble
Goddis 179 G, who had great difficulty in getting the pri.
*oner to the station as he was exceedingly violent. The pri-
soner was known as the companion of notorious thieves and
prostitutes, but it was not known whether he had been
previously convicted of felony. It was stated that robberies
of this description were frequent in the crowds surround-
ing the low fellows in the streets selling puma pretending
that they were full of money.
The prisoner said he was guilty and asked the magistrate
to decide the case at once.

Dir. Harker committed the prisoner to the Middlesex
Sessions for trial.

MADRAS RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.)

The fifteenth annual general meeting was held
at 1 o'clock, at the London Tavern, M. J. Waisiza in the
chair.

The eittiamars, in moving the adoption of the report
(which has already been published), observed that it con-
tained a full and detailed account of the affairs and pro-
ms, of the company, Great part of the South of India
bad suffered severely during the past year from famine,
and though it did not prevail so much in the
Madras districts as in some others, still, great
sufferings had been undergone, and added to
the famine, the cholera, the collapse of commercial enter-
prise, and other circumstances had affected railways in an
unprecedented degree, and it was satisfactory, therefore,
that this company had succeeded in maintaining its own as
well u they had done. There was an increase iu the
gross and in the net receipts. The gross receipts in
1863 were 405,0001. . • and in 1866, 438,00 W. odd ;
showing an increase of 33,247/. The net receipts in 1863
wore 219,00 W. • and in 1866, Z 17,0001., showing an Mere..
of 18,7271. Tiers wan a considerable increase in the ex-
penditure, but this was accounted for by the increased
mileage (90 miles additional having been opened), and
the enhanced cost of stores, material, and labour.
He then referred to the other paragraphs in the re-
port, enlarging upon them, and in reference to
the one which spoke of the absence of accidents,
remarked that the railway bad been eleven years working,
during which period they had carried 11.000,000 pamengers,
and had never injured one. (Cheers, and cries of " Bravo.")
He thought this was a proof of the substantial character of
the line as well as of she cars with which it was worked. He
expected that the Great Southern of India line would be
able to effect a junction with the Madras lines in the
coming autumn, which would conduce to the advantage of
both companies. The percentage of working expenses was
49 1.10, which, under all the circumstances, he held to be
very moderate.
Mr. Aiterrinecrr seconded the motion, which was carried
unanimously, the chairman having first stated, in reply to
a question, that the second 500,0001. of the million of ad.
ditional capital authorised to be raised had been arranged for,
and the money would be forthcoming as wanted. The com-
pany had a balance of about 800,0001. now on hand, con-
sequently thPy were in a comfortable position.
The directory and auditors retiring by rotation were re-
elected, and the proceedings terminated with the cus-
tomary complimentary vote.

directors to pay an interim dividend.
The prospectus of the Anglo-Italian Mining Com-

situated in the province of Novara, Italy (and
other mining properties in Italy)." It is
stated that four large gold-bearing lodes have
already been found. It is a satisfactory feature
that the payment to the grantee, consisting of
10,0001. in cash or shares, is not to be made until
20 per cent. dividend shall have been paid to the
shareholders. There is also no promotion money.
The capital is 25,0001. in 12,500 shares of 21. each,

THE UOVILLNHINT TRIUMPH LAST NIGHT.

The Times, rejoicing in the government majority
last night, treats the debate as the culminating one on re-
form, and the division as proving that in the opinion of the
house the last propositions of the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer were at once just and practicable. After follow-
ing the debate in a sense favourable to its own views, the
Times concludes with a remark that the errors of the
ministry have now been repaired. A complete scheme
has been approved after exhaustive debating on its essen-
tial features, and we may hope that the remainder of the
work to be accomplished may be achieved in comparative
peace and security.
The vote shows, says the Daily News, that the House of
Commons is plastic in the hands of the skilful minister
who leads it. Whatever he chooses to insist on, as vital to
his scheme, it is certain to support. He has but to
whisper the word " dissolution," and all its doubts and
misgivings vanish. This magic phrase is more potent than
the exhaustive and minute research of Mr. Gladstone, the
keen logic and discrimination of Mr. Mill, the oratory and
common sense of Mr. Bright, or the sarcastic criticism
of Mr. Lowe. The bill is the bill of an anti-
reforming House of Commons and an anti-reforming
ministry. It is an attempt not to satisfy just
demands, but to get rid of a troublesome question.
The great majority of the liberal party regard the mea-
sure as in most respects radically bad, and are, therefore,
not only at liberty, but will be bound to renew the agita-
tion, until a sounder, more equitable settlement is arrived
at. The compound householder, it should be everywhere
known, is to be placed at a disadvantage in obtaining the
franchise, because compouml householders form three-
fourths of the occupiers below IW. in boroughs, and be-
cause, being found chiefly in the manufacturing towns,
they belong for the most part to the class of skilled work-
men, who are not readily amenable to influence.
The Post attributes the success of the government to
the anxiety to pass a bill of some kind, and the apprehen-
sion of a dissolution. The result of the adoption of Mr.
Disraeli's amendment will be to create an antagonism
between two classes which, of all others, the state has the
greatest interest in seeing living in harmony, namely,
landlords and their tenant,.

The Herald hopes that the overwhelming majority of
lad night has finally crushed that merely factious opposi-
tion of which Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright have been
the instigators. The Herald is especially delighted with
the " tonic bitterness" of Mr. Roebuck.
London, England, 1867-05-10

7111 CU r:M1311110

The MOM points out one feature in the happy settle-
ment of the Luxemburg question to which Lord Stanley,
in his short speech, did not advert, and which is not the
least pleasing part of the transaction, and that is the ad-
mission of Italy as a member of the Conference. The
Prime Minister, Itatt►zzi, aiutouneed on Wednesday, in
the Chamber of Deputies, that the Great Powers had in-
vited Italy to take part in the London Conference, and
the signature of the Marquis D'Azeglio will be added to
those of his diplomatic colleagues in a deed on which, it
is to be hoped, the peace of Europe will long rest. We
can easily understand how gratifying to the youngest of
European states must be such a participation in a peat
international act ; and we are glad that in this, as in all
other matters connected with the Conference, the honour
of the initiative belongs to Great Britain.
The !Jerald says the settlement will be satisfactory to
all concerned. We have ourselves incurred no additional
obligation, and France and Prussia, both accused of aggres-
sive designs, will join us in assuring the neutral position
of a territory which, coveted by both of theist, is best held
separate from both.

aided by the intelligence of other bankers, have re-
sulted in a new and very important contribution
to our banking and commercial statistics. It will
be seen from the annexed interesting communi-
cation that the figures of the bankers' clearing-
house are henceforward to be published every
week, on the same day with the Bank of Eng-
land returns. Were it posible to institute a com-
parison with previous periods, the value of such
figures would be greatly increased. The only
comparison practicable—namely, with the year
1839—as drawn by Sir John Lubbock, shows that
the clearance of cheques has increased tAree-fuld in
the interval. We have here some explanation why
the commercial community have been enabled to
carry on business in spite of the restrictions lm-
upon the note issues by the act of 1844.
The amount of the note issues has remained prac-
tically stationary, but the public have devised an
auxiliary currency of vast dimensions for them-
selves, or business would have been strangled :

Apart from their views of the step which Mr. Wal-

tribute on the part of the press to the high character
of the right bon. gentleman, and a cordial recognition of
the esteem and good will which be enjoys. The Times
describes him as an excellent, amiable, and honourable
man, but with little judgment. and with a sensitiveness

A summons had been issued against a gentlemen, who
it was stated held office in the church, but whose name it
would not perhaps be advisable to mention at present, for
having unlawfully obtained certain cheques, and also with
perjury, and the case was to come on for hearing to-day.
A member of the bar was present in support of the
summons ; and a aolicitor,who appeared for the defendant,
asked that the Cane should be postponed, on the ground
that the defendant was too ill to attend.

The Lord Mayor eked what wile the matter with him,
and a gentleman, who stated that be was the brother of
the defendant, said be was suffering from paralysis.
The Lord Mayor asked if he bad a medical certificate.

The officer who served the summons said that when
he served the summons the defendant appeared to be
quite well, and be told him, when be said he supposed he
was the party mentioned in the summons, that he was an
impertinent fellow.

AN All !CABLE PI KITLIN

brad Jato6a,oi Russell-street, Covent-garden, fruiterer,
who was charged on Monday with furious driving in St.
James's-park, when Mr. Vaughan declared his determina-
tion to commit him for trial, was brought up for the com-
pletion of the depositions, and formal committal.
At this stage, however, the prosecutor, Colonel Wood,
interposed, and represented to the learned magistrate that
the prisoner's father had agreed to pay a sum of Mt. to
that excellent institution the Cambridge Asylum for the
Widows of Soldiers, and the young man himself seemed
deeply to regret his conduct. He therefore hoped the
magistrate, instead of committing the prisoner for trial,
would deal with the case himself, and with all possible
leniency,
Mr. George Lewis jun., of Ely-place, who appeared
for the prisoner, said the young man was most deeply
thankful for his kindness, and deeply regretful for his
own conduct. He was only 16 years of age. He trusted
the magistrate would take all the circumstances into his
merciful consideration.

Mr. Vaughan said he certainly had resolved to commit
the prisoner for trial, for the act proved was of so reckless
a character, that it was a miracle it had not caused lose
of life. However, taking into consideration the fact that
he had given this sum of money as a sort of public compen-
sation. also his youth, and apparent contrition, be should
merely order him to pay, in addition, a fine of 40s.

Tae PRINCRSH OF WALISS.--SaLiffiCLOTT progress
has continued to be made by her royal highness during the

is gradually diminishing, and there is little or no pain in
the joint. Tedious aa is the course of her royal highness's
illness, from the prolonged confinement which has been
necessitated, and is still likely to be required, the present
condition of the joint serves to indicate a point of no small
importance. It is well known to all surgeons dealing
much with cases of this description that their tendency in
delicate constitutions is towards the formation of matter.
No such tendency has shown itself at any time in the pre-
sent case. The constitution of her royal highness may be
said, therefore, to have proved itself to be a very good one.
Had there been any marked delicacy it would have been
impossible for the affection of the joint to have taken the

THE PAPAL STATES.
ROME, JULY 18.
The Pope has sent some valuable presents to the
Sultan of Turkey and the Viceroy of Egypt, in re-
cognition of the protection accorded in their states
to Catholics. A body of Garibaldians, 600 strong,
hose appeared at different point* on the Papal
frontiers, but were prevented by the Italian troops
from making any attempt at invasion. Yesterday
55 deaths occurred in the city and the hospitals, of
which 22 only were from cholera. The Pope has
received the formal recantation of the celebrated
theologian, Passaglia, who leaves Italy for London
to assist Archbishop Manning. In consequence of
a note addressed to the French government by the
Papal See relative to 300 cases of desertion which
have occurred in the ranks of the Antibes Legion,
the French general Dumont, has arrived here on a
mission to investigate the matter.

LAMBETH.

Thomas Nugent!, 40, was charged, on his own eonfeadon,
with having escaped from a penal settlement. In 1845 he
was sentenced to ten years' penal servitude, and was
sent to Norfolk Island. From thence he was removed to
Van Diemmi's Land, where he escaped while out with a
pass, went to the diggings and obtained a little money.
which enabled him to return to England. He then enlisted
in the 64th Regiment. and served through the Persian
campaign and the Indian mutiny, but his constitution
being broken up he was discharged, and had since been in
so miserable a condition that he gave himself ur.
Remanded.

William Christopher Workman,n portly old man, of No.
4, William•street, Bethnal.green, formerly a muter ma-
liner, and afterwards a publican, was charged with ob-
taining money under false pretences.
He had obtained various sums of money from different
people upon the pretence that he was entitled to a million
of money, and that he had made a will in which he had
left them considerable legacies. He had the will in his
pocket, and produced it to his dupes, showing that their
names were down for sums varying from 2001. to 2,000'.,
mad in some cues he borrowed a small amount for what he
called a registration fee. A number of persons were pre-
sent who had lent him money upon this ridiculous story,
sad one of them bad last 101. by him.
Mr. Paget said it was evident that the prisoner had been
guilty of a most abominable deception. No one would
doubt that he was a cheat, and it was only surprising that
be should have met with so many silly dupes to lend him
money. He would, however, escape punishment, as he
bad managed to evade the law.

CRICKET.

Mann aßonn Ctrit AND (Mogan r. Tnit COMITY or Stuart'
—lt is exactly twenty yearn since the above metropolitan clubs
net upon their present footing. In the year 1847, two years sub-
sequent to the formation of the Surrey County Club, the H.C.C.
and Ground encountered them upon equal terms, and atter •
hard light the M.C.C. won by 0 runs only. Since that period on
many occasions the M.C.C. have met the Surrey Club with varied
encases, but not until the present year have they ventured to
play the county. The match this season was for the benefit of
Thomas Nixon, an old Notts mon, in his day a highly merito-
rious cricketer, and famed for his throwing capabilities. The
wind having changed from north-east to south-went, the tempe-
rature was most agreeable, and although rain fell for many
hours previous to the commencement of the play,
towards noon It looked and felt something like cricket
weather, although the wickets were necessarily dead
and heavy nom the copious downfalls of rain with which
the metroplis was visited within the previous forty-eight hours.
Surrey won the toss, and with commendable Judgment put their
opponents in, the first pair of ii.c.C. batsmen being Mr. Winter
and Tom Hearne, and the Surrey bowlers Mr. G. P. Greenfield
and Heartfield. The former began at express pace, but it was
not found to pay, and at 30 Sewell tried his hand. In his second
over be settled Mr. Winter, who appeared In good form, and
made 13 The first wicket thus going for 30, the second for 41,
and the third for 07. Alfred Shaw was missed thrice, once by
Heartfield at slip, again as bowler. and subsequently at point I

dilticult wickets, were bowled by lieartiteld, for which
he was deservedly applauded, and the M. C. C. Inn-
ings closed at five minutes past 4 for 120. Surrey
sent in Jupp and Humphrey, to combat the bowling of the
two celebrated "ground men," Grundy and Wootton, and the
fall of the wickets was rapid indeed. The Surrey "boys" each
obtained a single : the front wicket went with the score at one,
the second with It at 12, the third at 14, the fifth at 28, the sixth,
seventh, and eighth at 35, the ninth at 34, and the tenth at 87,
Poole), being the only one who gut into doable figures. Surrey,
being 11l rims in arrear, had the mortification of following on;
and the commencement of their second Innings was by no means
encouraging, Pooley being bowled by Wootton, and Sewell by
Grundy, for a total of 3: and such was the position of affairs
when the stamps were drawn at seven o'clock, Grilles being,
not out, 3 Play will be resumed this day at half-past eleven
o'clock.

THE FENIAN PRISONERS.

A telegram announcing that Burke's life would
be spared has caused an immense relief to the public mind
at Dublin. Amnions and angry feeling, which was deepen-
ing and spreading every hour, has given place to grateful
expressions of loyalty to the Queen. Burke received the
announcement that his life was spared with apparent
indifference. He said it did not make much matter, bat
perhaps it we. as well for his mother's sake.

THE GREAT METROPOLITAN HORSE SHOW.
(THIS DAY.)

The business of pleasure commenced at a very
early hour this morning, and before 11 o'clock there was •
very large attendance of the general public to witness the
parade of prize horses and the hurdle jumping. The latter
proves almost as attractive as any other feature of the
show on account of the certainty of amusement being
derived from the capriciousness or fear of horses,
or the awkwardness of novice riders anxious to
distinguish themselves before so large an assembly, by
which incidents of • lively and exciting character arepro-
duced. There are, however, a number of very excellent
riders in the ring, many of them professional, who take
the hurdles in • graceful manner, and change the burst of
laughter into rounds of applause. It has been decided that
the competition for the gold medal shall take place to-
morrow in presence of the Prinoe of Wales who, it is stated
on good authority, will be present with a view of
witnessing it. The programme for this afternoon is as
follows :—Miscellaneous jumping, stallions paraded, one
set of harness horses and ponies, parade of prize horses and
bunters jumped. From the returns just made of the
money taken at the door it appears that there is a decided
improvement in the attendance over last year. The at-
tendance yesterday (the second day) was considerably over
that of the corresponding day of last year. The entry list
for the gold medal will be closed this evening, and all
entries of horses not tendered before then will be rejected.
An amusing incident took place whilst the hunters were
being ridden round the ring. A hunter, that had most
persistently refused to take the hurdle, seemed and.
denly determined to leave so troublesome an arena, and
making straight for the barrier, went over it with • dying
leap into that part of the building where the horse stalls
are.
