AURTRALIAN MINING COMPAWL—The adjourned
annual meeting of this company was held yesterday at the
London Tavern, Hist:tomato-street, for the purpose of
taking the votes of the shareholders, by ballot to decide
whether Mr. Cyrus Legg or Mr. Frederick eoilior should
fill the vacancy in the direction caused by the death of Mr.
T. S. Cutbill. The chair was occupied by Colonel Palmer,
the chairman of the board, who stated that favourable
amounts continued to be received from the colony of the
working of the mines; and Mr. Charles Whartham and Mr.
A. Cutbill were appointed to act as scrutineers. The poll
was kept open from 12 till 4, and shortly after its aloes the
scrutineers reported the result to be as follows. via.: for
Mr. Collier, 409 personal votes, representing 2,661 shares,
and 281 proxies, representing 1,880 shares, making a total
of 660 votes and 4,.11 shares. For Mr. Legg, 97 votes in
person, bolding 493 shares, and 286 proxies, representing
1.433 shares. together 383 votes and 1.928 shares ; thus
giving Mr. Collier, who was afterwards declared to be duly
elected, a majority of 277 votes and 2,613 shares. A vote
of thanks was accorded to the scrutineers for their labours,
and the proceedings concluded with a similar compliment
to the gallant chairman.
THE CHURCH IN MADRAIL—A new newspaper
is to be started here at the beginning of next month, to be
conducted on " mound church principles." It is intended
as a corrective to the Obrperrer, which, although not pro.
fessing to be conducted on " unsound church principles,"
is looked upon es the organ of the extreme low church
party. We do not think that there are many people in
Madras who belong to either extremes of the church, or
on whom innovations from one side or the other bays
much effect. The extreme ritualist can only get up a ',D-
idion among two or three people at a time, and there is
only a small party among whom a "new light" can pro.
duce much effect. The tropics do not seem favourable to
the development of religious excitement among the
Anglo-Saxon race. A rise or fall in the price of cotton,
sad to say, affects them much more than a variation in the
number of candlesticks on the church altar.—lifadras
Athena**, July 18.
Loss or A Baia. —On Saturday night the brig
Alliance, Captain George Greenfield, belonging to Mr.
Greenfield, Sunderland, was lost about twelve or fourteen
miles south-east of Flamborough Head, hut the crew were
saved. The brig left Sunderland on Friday afternoon at
four o'clock, laden with coals for St. Valery, and bad a
good passage to Flamborough Head. About 8 o'clock on
Friday night she toot a hoed sea from the southward, and
was kept off till three o'clock the next morning, when they
tacked the ship to the westward, and reefing topsails about
eight o'clock on Saturday night they tacked ship again to
the southward. The vessel by this time bad
made a little wiser and was pumped out about
an hour after. James Owen, mate, went to bed,
and about ten o'clock was roused by water
under the cabin floor. He at once went on deck, and re-
ported to the captain. The pumps were rounded, when
about six and a half feet of water was found in the hold.
The boats were then pat out. By the time all hands, five
in number, got into the boat, the coveting board was level
with the water, and the brig was filling fast, so that there
was no time to save a thing. She went down out of sight
half an hour after they left her. A little after 12 o'clock
the same night they were picked up by the schooner
Friendship, of Hartlepool, and remained on board till
about five o'clock on Sunday morning, when they were put
on board the screw lona, of Leith, which vessel brought
them to Sunderland Roads in the afternoon about two
o'clock, and a Shields aphis put them on shore. They all
reside in Sunderland.
The action brought against Messrs. Guion and
Co. by the West India sad Pacific Steam Navigation
Company, for shipping oil which exploded ea board one
of their vessels, terminated last night. A general verdict
wee returned for the plaintiffs.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(Before the Recorder.)
Edward John Bradtkr, 64, described as an accountant,
and John MeatA, clerk, surrendered to take their trial upon
an irdictment which charged the first-mentioned de-
fendant with having attempted to defraud his creditors by
concealing a portion of his estate from his creditors, after
having been adjudicated a bankrupt, and the other with
having aided and assisted Brashier to commit the offence.
Both the defendants were also charged with conspiracy.
Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Begley conducted the prosecution;
Mr. Giffard, Q.C., was specially retained with Mr. Sleigh
to defend Heath and Mr. Lille; and Mr. Straight appeared
for the other defendant, Braahrer.
The case occupied the court for several home, and the
evidence appeared to be of • very complicated character.
The defendant Brashier, it appeared, had carried on for
several years the occupation of an accountant and money
lender in the neighbourhood of Maida-hill, and he filed
• petition in bankruptcy on the 20th of July, 1866,
his debts being represented to amount to 1,3801.,
and there being practically no assets whatever. The
defendant, at the same timer represented that his ex-
penses for the two years previous to his bankruptcy bad
been at the rate of 3001. a year, and the creditors, of
course, were not very well pleased with such a state of
things, and inquiries were instituted which resulted in
the present charge being preferred spinet the defendants.
Heath, it appeared, had acted as the clerk to Brashier,
and the case, on the part of the prosecution, was that the
two had conspired together to conceal from the know-
ledge of the creditors the existence of a balance at the
banker's of 95/., and • bill of exchange for 621. 10s., and
that they had also concealed the fact that Brashier was
interested in two life policies for 1001. each, that had
been effected with the European and the Argus offices. A
great deal of documentary evidence was adduced in the
case, and amongst it were the examinations of the defendants
at the Court of Bankruptcy. It was also alleged as against
the defendant 'trashier, that in the month of March, pre-
vious to the bankruptcy, he had concocted a fict4tious deed
of release, for the purpose of tying the hands of his
creditors, and preventing them from taking any proceed-
inp against him until the bankruptcy worldly took place. '
The defence that was set up to the charge was that, so
far as Heath was concerned, there was nothing at all to
s'iow that he had ever contemplated any fraud, and he
had merely acted in the capacity of clerk and that all be
did was done in that capacity. Ae regarded the other de-
fendant, Brashier, it was argued that in his case also there
was no evidence that he had been guilty of any fraud in
the transactions referred to. _

Several witnesses were examined, who gave both the de-
fendants a good character.
The Recorder summed up the whole of the evidence very
carefully, and the jury, after a short deliberation, Ac-
quitted Heath, and found the other prisoner, Brashier,
Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account of his
sfre•
Sentence was deferred.
