CAMBRIDGE, Sees'. 1.
TrlNirr COLLEGE.—The senior fellowship at
Trinity College, vacant by the death of the Rev. Professor
Grote, has been filled up by the appointment of the Rev.
William George Clark, M.A., one of the tutors of the col-
t and_public orator.
nl VACANT PROFESDOILDHIPS.—There are new two
vacant professorships in the university. Mr. Thompson,
since his appointment to the mastership of Trinity College,
has resigned the poet of Regius Professor of Greek, which
he has held since the death of the late Professor Schole-
field, in 1833, and with it his canonry in Ely Cathednil.The
Council of the Senate present to the professorship, the en-
dowment of which, exclusive of the Ely canonry,isso/. a year,
so that at Cambridge as well as atOxfordtbe Greek chairis
not in itself a very lucrative position. It is generally un-
derstood that the election will fall on Mr. Shilleto, of
Trinity ; Mr. E. M. Cope, senior fellow and classical lec-
turer of Trinity ; or on Dr. B. H. Kennedy, of St. John's,
the late head master of Shrewsbury School. The second
vacant professorship is that of Moral Philosophy, of the
value of about 1:301. per annum ; and it will no doubt be •
matter of difficulty to place in the chair a man of Mr.
Grote's erudition and thoughtful character ; and as Mr.
Grote's predecessor was no less a philosopher than the late
master of Trinity, the electors will be particularly anxious
that the appointment may fall on one who will be a worthy
successor of both these great men. Moreover, it will be
remembered that moral philosophy is a study which is
gaining ground fast in Cambridge, and that the professor-
ship will probably increase in importance to a correspond-
Dsg extent. The electors to the professorship are the Vice-
Chancellor, the Regius Professor of Divinity, the Lady
Margaret Professor of Divinity, and, the Master of St.
Peter's College.

BALMORAL, Aucus? 31.
The Queen, accompanied by Princess Beatrice,
drove out yesterday morning,
In the afternoon her Majesty, accompanied by Princess
Louise and Prince Leopold, drove to the Lynn of Mulch.
Princess Louise. attended by Lady Churchill and the
Hon. Emily Cathcart, went to Abergeldie in the evening.
and was present at a ball given by the Prince and Prize
of Wales.

SEPTEMBER 1.
The Queen, accompanied by Princess Louise, went out
in the grounds yesterday morning.
In the afternoon her Majesty, accompanied by Princess
Louise. and attended by Lady Churchill, drove through
Csetleton to meet the Prince and Princess Christian of
Schleswig-Holstein, who travelled to Perth by the mail
train, and then posted over the Spital of Glenabee. On
their royal highnesses' arrival at Balmoral they were re.
ceived bytbe tenantry and servants of her Majesty, who
had erected a floral arch close to the bridge, where they
presented an address congratulatinst their royal highnesses
on their first visit to the Highlands, and giving them
most cordial welcome ; after which the carriage proceeded
at a foot pace to the Castle, preceded by the royal piper,
and accompanied by the tenantry and servants.
Lady Susan Melville and Colonel Gordon were in atten-
dance upon their royal highnesses.

THE CorET IN THE HIGHLANDS. —Since the ar-
rival of her Majesty and the other members of the royal
family in the Highlands the weather has been most fa-
vourable for out-door rambles and sport. The Queen has
therefore been enjoying daily drive% to the favourite places
about Balmoral and Braemar, while the Prince of Wales
and the Duke of Edinburgh have been busy and successful
among the deer and grouse. The Court at Balmoral were
joined on Friday afternoon by their Royal Highnesses
Prince and Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein and
Prince Arthui, who made the journey to the Castle,
after leaving Perth, through the Spittal of Glenshee.
The Braemar gathering of the clans —the Duffs, the
Farquhamons, and the Forbeses—for competition in
Highland games of strength and fleetness is fixed for
Thursday next, the Gth of September, when the company
present, including moat of the royal party now in the
Highlands, is expected to be more distinguished and nume-
rous than it has been since the lamented death of the
Prince Consort. Braemar and Ballater never were so full
of strangers, for Deeside appears to be yearly growing in
favour with summer tourists and holiday searchers after
health. The little parish church of Crathia is quite •
sight of a Sunday at present, strangers from all party of the
world who may be sojourning in this country evidently
making it a point to see her Majesty and her Mart worship-
Ong after the simple form of the Scottish Kirk. Yester-
day the Rev. Principal Talioch, of St. Andrew's, wen to
preach, and next Sunday. the Rev. A. K. H. Boyd, the
well-known essayist, is mentioned as likely to conduct the
services.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—DERBY, DEC. 13.
(Before Mr. Baron Channell.)
Daniel Marsh, aged Di, nailer, was charged with killing
and slaying Alfred Gibson on the 22nd October hat, at
Belper ; also with wilfully and of his malice aforethought
killing and murdering Alfred Gibson, on the 21st October
last, at Duffield.
Mr. Mellor, with whom was Mr. Horace Smith, ap-
peared for the prosecution ; Mr. Buzzard (instructed by
Mr. Borough) for the defence. Prisoner pleaded " Not
Guilty."
On the application of Mr. Buzzard, the witne►
sides were ordered out of court.
Mr. Mellor opened the case with some preliminary
observations upon the distinctions drawn between the
crimes of murder and manslaughter, and proceeded to
give the history of the caser which has been twice placed
before our readers. He said that the medical testimony
would be that the gun must have been held a foot or
18 inches from the body, the wound being a roundish
one, but the shots were somewhat scattered in the
body. The question to be considered was whether the
prisoner had the intention of causing the death of Gibson,
whether the death was an accident, or whether sufficient
provocation had been received by the prisoner to reduce
his offence to manslaughter. Now, a woman seeing the
prisoner with the gun pointed, came up, and threw her
arms round him, and said, " Don't," thereby proving that
she had a fear of his intention. The gun, which would
be produced, would be shown to have a stiff lock—one
which would not go off on half-cock—and it would, there-
fore, be the inference that it was discharged strung act of
the primmer. The jury would observe that prom-

IN RE E. LA.LOR.

---
The bankrupt was a doctor of medicine, of Mecklen-
burgh-street, Gray's-inn-road. This was an adjourned
sitting for discharge. The debts are 73ti/. ; no assets.
Mr. li. Griffiths opposed. The bankrupt had brought
an action for slander against his client, Mr. Job Cauldwell,
bookseller ; and on the verdict going against him he had
come to this court in forma paupers. Altogether there
were 17 creditors.
The bankrupt admitted that he had not been sued by any
creditor. He had been ten days in prism at the suit of
Mr. Cauldwell. He had given a bill of sale of his furniture
to the Mutual Loan Fund Association in 1864 for a loan
then made to him.
Mr. Griffiths urged that the bankrupt had since con-
tracted debts with tradespeople of different kinds without
probable means of payment.
After hearing Mr. Scott for the bankrupt,
His Honour said the bankrupt appeared to be one of
those advertising doctors of whom the public had heard a
great deal lately. But for the advance be obtained from
a loan society he must have been wound up long ago. The
' \ debts had clearly been contracted without probable expec-
' tationof payment, and the order must be suspended for
I six months, with protection (renewable) for three months.

THE COLLIERY CNTASTROPTIER.

Some of our contemporaries express this morning the
sympathy and horror which fi'l the public mini at
the intelligence of the fresh colliery calamities in York-
shire and Staffordshire. More lives than have furnished the
sacrifice of some famous battles hare been destroyed, auil
this, all agree, must appeal irresistibly to the humanity
and charity of the county. It will be seen that the Lord
Mayor of London has already begun to organise a Relief
Fund, and the example, there can be no doubt, will at
once be followed throughout the land.
It it observed that the same colliery was, ex►ctly
twenty years ago, the scene of an accident in which more
than 70 people lost their lives. The public mind, it is
added, will not be satisfied unless the inquiry into this
particular accident is soon supplemented by a general
investigation into the whole subject of mining discipline,
conducted by an efficient commission. It has long been
held as a truth amongst the men themselves, that the
present government inspectors, although eminently scien-
tific and conscientious officials, do not suffice to perform
the amount of examination and supervision required, and
that their hands ought to be strengthened by the appoint-
ment of several subordinates, men practically acquainted
with all the details of life in a mine.

UNIVERSITY REFORM.

Attributing its doe impel Lance in the educational pro-
cess to the social intercourse which enters so largely into
the Oxford system, the Doily News points out that there
are counter-balancing disadvantages which interfere very
seriously with the primary purpose for which Oxford has
been supposed to exist—such as the time occupied in pby-
sical training and recreation, and in luxurious and expen-
sive amusements. The advocates of university extension,
therefore, refuse to consider it an unanswerable objection
to their schemes that they involve some sacrifice of the
social training which Oxford has so long given. The
method which seems to the Daily News to meet
most thoroughly the growing need, is that laid down
in the report of the committee upm extension
by affiliation which has just been printed, and the
substance of which is that any chartered college in
England and Wales may, upon certain conditions, be
affiliated to the Univeasity of Oxford, regular attendance
at a college so affiliated during the first two years of the
undergraduate course being counted as residence at
the university. For that part of the student's education
which give* a special character to the university course,
and requires the special appliances of a university pro-
fenoriate, be will still have to go up to Oxford. The
difference will be that the duration of hie university career
will be shortened by one half, and that by this change
more than one source of expense, or temptation to extra-
vagance, will be removed from his path. Among other
arguments which may be mentioned is favour of the
scheme, are the beneficial influence it will exert on the

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

The Times regards the new Greek war as localised
in the Island of Crete, and thinks the Eastern question
has a chance of still slumbering for a while. The Greeks
seem an irreclaimably nomadic people, and the experiment
of conferring upon them the privileges of what is called
autonomy must universally be acknowledged to have
turned out a failure. At all events the experience of the
past will prevent any of the protecting powers from un-
dertaking in future to make people happy in spite of
themselves. The examples of Greece, of Mexico, and
other states have taught us not to meddle with
our neighbours' business even for the sake of humanity.
The Greeks will be left to follow their own destiny ; and
to associate to the same destinies as many of their own
brethren of Crete and other provinces as have both the
will and the power to cast in their lot with theirs. But
the Eastern question cannot be brought on by Greece. The
Turk must eventually be driven from the Bosphorus, hut
he will die hard, and his last hour will bode no good to the
Greek. Such a convulsion of the globe will follow on the
retreat of the Crescent across the Straits, such a trampling
of races, such a shock of armies, as are far more likely
utterly to disperse and tread down the Greek than to set
him on that pinnacle of greatness to which his idle ambi-
tion would aim. .

The central difficulty of the situation in Holland,
observes the Daily News, is that the public opinion in the
country cannot secure its own representation in the
government, owing to the divisions of the Chamber and
of the liberal members who compose its majority. It is
to be iegretted that the conservatives have chosen
to place the issue before the country as one between
the King and the Chamber instead of between the
two great parties in the state. The elections are to take
place next Tuesday, and in the meantime the country is
convulsed with the strife. The King is personally exceed-

ingly popular, and a huge number of ;lectors, especially

. . . .
in the country districts, will vote for the conservatives in
the belief that they are sustaining the throne. It is not
doubted, however, that the next Chamber will contain a
large majority of liberal members.
The Post instances as among the trifles which turn the
scale of enterprise and provoke opposition by the mistrust
which they justify, the prohibition by the Prussian go-
vernment of a subscription in Schleswig for a wedding pre-
sent to the Princess Dagmar. If the government which
aspires to lead Germany cannot permit the poor &hies-
wigers to congratulate the fair daughter of their nation-
ality they must experience apprehensions which a strong
government could not entertain, and which a weak go-
vernment should not feel.

TIII DZATII OF MIL SNIDE&

A melancholy episode has intervened in the Snider con-
troversy. Yesterday the unfortunate inventor of the
breech-loading gun, which is now being placed in the
hands of our soldiers, breathed his last, prostrated, the
Star says, by the physical calamity which more than
any other results from overtaxed mental energies.
The gun, it seems, was vested in Lieutenant-Colonel
Roden as trustee for Mr. Snider, Mr. Clare, and himself ;
and since August Colonel Roden's solicitor has been in
correspondence with the War Department upon the sub-
ject of the remuneration to be awarded by the government
for the adoption of the patent, so far as it applies to the
conversion of the guns in store. It appears that only
yesterday morning, before Mr. Snider's death was known,
Colonel Roden had an interview with General Peel, and
his solicitor says he has every reason to believe that the fl
question of remuneration will be arranged before the close
of the present week.
The Daily Newt, commenting upon the course taken by
the War-office, observes that, considering that the patents
confer no rights as against the government, it is not easy
to see why the government should feel bound to make
them the sole basis of its transactions with an inventor to
the extent of enabling his eo-proprietors to deprive him of
the right of receiving the reward of his ingenuity. This
rifle, whatever its merits, was not the result of a moment
of happy inspiration ; it was slowly built up upon the per-
sonal observations, inquiries, and experiments of eight
years, in the course of which its author was necessarily
withdrawn from other profitable occupation. .I. it exactly
fair, having adopted his wesponand declined to acknowledge
his patent as giving him rights against the government, to
turn that patent against himself The impression which
the special pleading in this part of the ease, and also in
their treatment of the late Mr. Snider's claim for personal
services and expenditure, leaves on the mind is that there
1 is still far too much love of technicality at the War-office,

ville.
The complainant said that a little after ten o'clock
night she was walking along Coventry-street, when
prisoner came up to her, and witFout saying • word
gave her a severe blow in the face, and he then seized her
by the throat and held her tightly till a constabi
came up.
Mr. Tyrwhitt told the prisoner that be was a fair spe-
cimen of a class of savages who haunted London. It was
an unprovoked attack on the complainant for nothing at
all. For picking pockets persons were committed for
three months, but what was picking pockets compared
with a brutal *smolt ? Nothing at all. He should com-
mit the prisoner for three months with hard labour.

ITALY AND GERMANY.

The Nord Deutsche Zeitung publishes the text of
a note addressed by the Italian Minister of Foreign
Affairs, Visconti-Venosta, to Herr von lisedom, on
the receipt of the notification of the treaty of peace
between Prussia and Austria. The note terminates
thus :

The government of the King of Italy is agreeably affected
by the wishes which the government of his Majesty the
King of Prussia expresses for the continuance of the a" i-
ance between the two states after the present period, and
his own views are warmly the same in this respect. We
attach great value to the ties of sympathy and common
interest which are destined to unite the German and
Italian nations. These ties will only be the closer in that
pe'iod of tranquillity which the union of Venetia to Italy
sill bring about.
A letter in the Debatie of Vienna says that pre-
parations are actively going forward for the re-
moval from Venice of the property which belongs
to the crown of Austria. The furniture in the
Imperial Palace at Venice is already packed up.
The objects of art, the documents in the
Palace of the Doges and in other places
which were bought by the government
are also ready for removal. The transport of the
large quantity of materials in the arsenal of Venice
to Pole has already commenced. In short every
preparation is made when peace is signed and its
conditions fulfilled by Italy, for the immediate
evacuation of the foi aesses.

A BARMAN CHARCTII WITH ROBBING HIB ENPLOTRR.

Benjamin Price, a young man, barman in the employ of
Mr. Edward Williams, of the Two Ships Tavern, Old
Compton-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the
following robbery :
Mr. Williams said the prisoner had been in his
employ about a week, as barman. Last night he
discovered two shillings and two sovereigns in •
part of the till where they ought not to have been,
and th'nking the circumstances very suspicious,
he replaced the coins with marked ones of a similar kind.
The coins remained in the till all night, and that mot-ring
he followed the prisoner down stain. After the prisoner
bad cleared out the till, that being pail of his duty, he
went down to the cellar, and on coming up again
he (Mr. Williams) looked in the till and
fle'n7 the marked coins gone called the prisoner into his
bar-parlour and tamed him with robbing him. The pri-
soner wi'd he had only taken one shilling, and that he hid
never done an) biirg of she kind before. He then asked
the prisoner to let 114-n see what money he had got about
him, and the pr'soner then took from his pocket the whole
of the mark -d money and two sixpences besides, and he
then gave him ilto custody.
Win. Williams, oellarman to the prosecutor, proved
marking the money, and seeing the prisoner take it from
his socket.
Tnos. Davis, 227 C, said that on taking the prisoner into
custody he said he was very soriy, and that he had never
done anything of the kind before.
The prisoner wished the case settled at once, and pleaded
guilty.
Mr. T),•whitt said for the sake of two or three shillings
the prisoner had forfeited his character, and would be
imprisoned with hard labour for six weeks.

THE OCCUPATION OF ROME.

The Monde, referring to a report that the occupa-
tion of Rome by the French troops might be pro-
longed for two years more, says :
It is extremely doubtful whether Pius IX. can live in
Rome with Victor Emmanuel. The primitive church is
cited as an example. But the example shows the im-
possibility of the joint habitation by the martyrdom of so
many Popes for three hundred years, and by the
voluntary exile of Constantine to Byzantium. And it is
in the name of liber4 that persecution is offered
as an ideal to the church ! If it be a pat: of
the arrangements of Victor Emmanuel to leave the Pope •
portion of Rome, that portion will be lessened every day,
and Pius I& would be about as free in the Vatican as was
Louis XVI. in the Tuileries or the tower of the Temple .
A resides.). at Malta would secure to both him and the
cardinals more complete liberty. The Pope will consult
the interest of the church alone, but should he ask France
to keep her troops at Rome for a year or two longer, it is
probable that France will not refuse, were it only to dispel
the dark aloud which the exile of Plus IX. would cast
over the Exposition of lea.

In another placo the Monde utters the follow-
ing cry of despair :
We cannot see indeed what is to prevent the Italian re.
volution from ascending the capitoL France abandons
Rome ; Austria makes advances to King Victor Em-
manuel : all the catholic powers become more and
more entangled in revolutionary embarrassments
under the pretext of escaping from the embarrassment
of the Roman question. Christian princes seem
mere disposed to ally themselves with the re►olution
than to rise in defence of the Holy Father and the
catholic church. Rome then for one reason or another le
realty abandoned by men. It h quite natural, therefore,
that the Cialdinis, Rinasolis, and Garibaldis should pre-
issaethtdr instal mesas for taking possession of it. The

The rains of the past week have refreshed the plant on

desired to mature the crop already formed. fn moat of
the best grounds the plant has made a wonderful advance
during the past fortnight, and should we be favoured with
sunny weather this week, the difference both in the quan-
tity and especially the quality of the crop will be very
great."

THE LAW AS TO FINDINO PROPERTY,

Elizabeth Davis, a young woman, WY charged with deal-
ing a sovereign under the following peculiar circumstances.
Mr. John Wright, a traveller, of 2, Lower Calthorpe-
street, Gray's-inn-road, said that about 12 o'clock at night
be met the prisoner in New North-street, and whilst speak-
ing to her he accidentally pulled a sovereign out of bra
pocket, and dropped it on the pavement. The prisoner
picked it up and ran off. He pursued her, and when he
crime to a policeman she stopped and gave him the money.
Nothing improper had happened between him and the
prisoner, and both of them were sober.
The magistrate (to the prisoner)—How do you say!—are
you guilty of stealing the sovereign or not!
The prisoner—l am not guilty ; I did not steal the coin.
The magistrate—lf you saw it dropped, and, picking it
up, did not restore it, that is stealing.
The prisoner —You may, but I don't see it. (A laugh.)
It is not like taking the money out of his pocket.
The magistrate—lt is not like a case of finding the
money. It was always in the prosecutor's pomession.
The prisoner—Well, you may see it in that light, but I
don't. (A laugh.) I picked the money up, and how can
you get over that? Suppose I ran away with the money
for a lark, how would that be You know it can't be
dealing.
The magistrate said be would not send the case for trial,
though the prisoner might so be sent. She would now be
discharged, but she had better be careful how she picked
up money and ran away with it for the future.
The prisoner—Thank you, my lord, for discharging me ;
and she then hastily left the dock.

SURREY SESSIONS.

(Before Mr. Johnson, Chairman.)
Edward Brown, 38, a signal-man in the service of the
London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, was in-
dicted for that he, being a servant of that company, was
found drunk while employed upon the said railway at
George the Martyr, Southwark.
Mr. Straight, instructed by Mr. Church, appeared for
the prosecution ; the'prisoner was undefended.
It may be recollected that the prisoner was signal-man
at the Borough-road station of the railway, and about
eleven o'clock at night of the 14th ultimo was found
drunk in his signal-box by Mr. Saunders, superintendent
of the Blackfriani and Ludgate-hill stations. At that time
a collision had taken place near the Elephant and Castle
station, by an ordinary train running into an empty Crystal
Palace train, and not only caused some alarm, but did con-
siderable injury. The case has been so recently reported
that it will be unnecessary to go through all the evidence.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and
The Chairman sentswoad him to two months' bard
labour.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Mary Ann White, a young woman of deoent appear-
ance, was charged before the Lord Mayor with steal-
ing the sum of 13e. 3d., the moneys of Jenkin Davies, from
his person.
Mr. T. Beard appeared for the prisoner.
From the evidence of the prosecutor, a carpenter by
trade, it appeared that on Saturday afternoon, between
4 and 5 o'clock, he, in company with a friend named
Thomas James, went to a public-house in the Minories,
where they were followed by the prisoner and two °the'
women, who asked the p-osecutor and his friend tc
treat then. They refused, and the prisoner came in front
of the prosecutor, and stole from his waistcoat pocket th'
sum of 13s. 3d., with which she was walking away. Thr
for followed, and charged her with robbing him.
he denied it, but be threw her back and took from hr
left hand the sum of 12a. 9d., and at the same time a six-
pence fell from some part of her dress, making up the total
amount of money which the prosecutor lost from his pocket
on the occasion in question. He added that his frieni
James saw him take the money from the hand of the
prisoner.
In hie cross-examination by Mr. Beard the prosecutor
stated that he was quite sober at the time, but that his
friend, who was a nautical man, was the worse fo- liquor,
and that both had asserted that they had no money. It
was further elicited from the prosecutor that they bad
gone into the public-house with another woman, who had
been drinking with them before the prisoner and her
female eompanions came into the public-house.
In reply to the Lord Mayor the prosecutor stated that
his friend Captain James was not in attendance to-day '
state what he knew of the transaction.
Mr. Beard urged upon the Lord Mayor that from thi
first the prisoner had denied any participation in the rob-
bery imputed to her, and her innocence she now use.-

rated.
The prosecutor said that on that morning be bad been
offered 3/. by the friends of the prisoner not to appear
against her.
Mr. Beard said that of this offer the prisoner knew ne
thing, and be further mentioned that the prisoner was not
known to the police.
The Lord Mayor said that, as the prosecutor was uncor-
roborated, he should give the prisoner the benefit of the
doubt he entertained. The prisoner was then discharged
with a caution.

MONEY MARKET.--(THIS D4Y.)

thrs o'Cwas.

The stock markets to-day are heavy, and there is
an increasing tendency to reaction from the late rise.
To this state of things two causes chiefly contribute,
—namely, realisations by recent speculative buyers,
and the dull weather. The funds have fallen i per
cent., being further prejudiced by preparations
I for Thursday's settlement. In most of the prin-
cipal home railways the reduction is Ito per
cent. In this department, South Eastern stock
is prominently depressed to-day, in consequence of
the weekly traffic return, showing a decrease of
2,8051. compared with last year. Foreign stocks
are likewise more offered, but the reduction is not
important, with the exception of a fall of 4 per
cent. in Greek, and in United States 5-20 Bonds.
The discount market to-day is well supplied with
money, and good three months bills are readily
taken at 5 to 5i per cent.

Consols are now quoted 89i to I both for
money and next Thursday's settlement, and 89,1 to
. .

for the October account.

Foreign stocks are likewise flat, and a slight re-
duction is observable in most of the principal spe-
culative securities. One of the chief movements
is a fall 1 per cent. in Greek Bonds. Spanish Pas-
sive and Turkish of 1865, have declined
. Italian stock of 1861, however, is firm.
Turkish Bonds of 1862 are now quoted 50 to 52; ditto
of 1865, 27/ to 281 ; Greek, 141 to 15; Spanish Pas-
sive, 221 to 23 ; ditto Certificates, 151 to 16 ;
Italian, of 1861, 55 to 1 ; and Mexican, 16k to 17.
United States 5-20 Bonds have fallen per cent.,
being quoted 72$ to /. Erie and Illinois Central
Railway shares present little change, standing re-
spectively at 46/ to C, and 791 to /.
International Financial shares are quoted to
1 dia. ; London Financial, 131 to 121 dis. ;
rleneral Credit, 11 to 1k dis. ; Credit Fonder,
3 to 21 dis. ; and National Discount, 91- to
_ i prem.

Anglo-American Telegraph shares are quoted 13i
to 14, and Atlantic Telegraph 8 per cent. preference
4to per share.
The late depression in British railway stocks ap-
pears to have b.2en mainly due to speculative opera-
tions, the public, as usual, having manifested no dis-
position to sell in anticipation of the dividends. The
favourable change in the money market has caused
these accounts for the fall to be closed, and hence
the recent rise. There seems reason to believe,
however, that the improvement has now reached
its limit, especially since the public abstain from
increasing their investments, owing to the =satis-
factory position of several of our leading compa-
nies, as disclosed at the recent meetings. Vile
continued issues of new capital, of which there
seems a never ending and constantly augmenting
supply, also exercise an unfavourable effect. Both
these features are therefore considered not to justify
permanently increased confidence in this class of
property.

About 87,000!. in bar gold and 30,000 sovereigns

LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS COMPANY

( LIMITED).--( THIS DAY.)

This afternoon the half-yearly general meeting
of aharehoklers was held at the chief oelee of the company,
6, Finsbury-square; Mr. F. J. Law (the chairman of the
company) presidia:.
The report, of which the substance has already appeared,
was taken as read. It stated the gross receipts of
the half-year at 308,1121. as compared with 302,9561. in
the corresponding period of 1865, but against this there
was an increase of expenditure amounting to 24,988/. The
directors recommended a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent.
per annum, free of income tax, leaving 310/. to be carried
forward to the next account.
The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the adoption of the report,
regretted that the directors were unable to recommend
the same dividend as on the three previous occasions, but
it was consoling to know that this did not miss from any
falling off of business. There was an increase in the half-
year of 5,0001. in the receipts, as eompaved with the cor-
responding half-year of 1865, and they had carried
65.9,000 more paatiew:ers. But they had had to pay
20,0C3/. more for provender and food for bore's than in
the former half-year. They had had also to compete with
additional railways, but that c;-curestance had not
diminished the receipts, and, in b;s opinion, whatever
railways might in future be developed in the
metropolis there would always be a large omni-
bus business to be carri-d on, though its nature
might be somewhat changed. From reduced prices
of provender, and fr nn the boon they had received from
the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, he
hoped to be able to report by the next meeting
a more satisfactot f state of things. They had had also
to pay 1,000 guineas in compensation, in consequence of an
accident to a gentlemen of t/ stone, who would insist upon
tiding outside an omnibus. He concluded by moving the
adoption of the report, and the dividend of 24. per share
free of income tax.

In rely to a Shareholder,
The CHAIRLot stated that the saving to the company
from the removal of the turnpiketolls was about 15,000/.
year, and the reduced duty, of which they would obtain
the benefit before the next meeting, would give them
.19,00 W.
Auo:her SHAREHOLDER moved u an amendment that
the dividend should be at the rate of 3?. per cent., contend-
ing that the company had not earned even that amount
daring the half-year.

Six,—With the view of allaying any unnecessary
sensational excitement of the public mind as to the Bolivar
(just seized in the Medway) being "a Fenian privateer," I
desire to state that I fitted out the vessel in question for
the government of the United States of Columbia. The
national flag, accidentally overlooked with a few other
things in sending down the stores which I supplied, was
subsequently taken from my warehouse by Captain Little.
the steamer's duly commissioned commander, and doubt.
less would have been hoisted on his arrival on board, had
not the vessel's seizure taken place in the interim.
The stowing of shells beneath coals (construed into an act
of concealment) is simply following the usual practice of
placing the heaviest portion of a ship's freight at the bot-
tom of her hold ; a course which, in this instance, was even
more necessary, as the coals would have to be consumed on
the Bolivar's voyage out to Panama.—l am, k.c.,

OUTRAGE TN THE GOLDEN HonN. —During, the
storm on Saturday night last Captain Kinnoch, of the
English steam tug Brothers, being on shore and anxious
for the safety of his vessel, took a boat at the bridge,
and ordered the boatman to row him out to the vessel,
which lay out in the Horn off Tali-kiosk. On reaching the
old coal bulk off Monmhaneh the boatman pulled up, and
told his passenger he must pay him. The latter there-
upon handed him over a liberal fare in piastres, on which
the fellow, hearing the jingle of silver, said he must have
more and more. Captain Kinnoch accordingly gave him
a dollar, but the ruffian. not satisfied with this, struck his
passenger over the head with the boat's tiller, and before
the latter recovered consciousness from the blow, rifled
his pockets and threw him overboard. Happily the vic-
tim of the attack was an excellent swimmer, and the
plunge at once restoring him, he struck out vigorausly for
& neighbouring ship, which happened to be an English
one, and which on hearing his hail at once lowered a boat
and picked him up. Complaint of outrage having been
addressed to the police through the Consulate next morn-
ing the boat and her owner were found, but the latter,
who was not Captain Kinnoch's attempted murderer, pro-
fessed himself unable to give any clue to the ruffian. The
police consequently were, or professed themselves, help-
less to find the rascal, and up to last evening we have not
heard if any trace of him has been discovered.—Lerant

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.
Mr. Benjamin Gore Booth, the late deputy receiver and
cashier to the governors of the ancient corporation of
the Charterhouse, was yesterday brought before the Lord
Mayor, in charge of Sergeant Fennell, the detective officer,
for further examination upon the charge of having em-
bezzled and misappropriated various large sums of money,
the property of his employers, while engaged in the above
calu'.7;eshfield, jun., one of the firm of Freshfield, Son,
and Newman, the solicitors to the Bank of England, again
attended to prosecute, and Mr. Buchanan appeared for
the preoner.
The evidence adduced an the farmer occasion went to
show that it was the duty of the prisoner to receive rents
and other monies belonging to the governors of the
Charterhouse, and to enter every amount so received in a
book which he hap. far that purpose, and then, at certain
internals, to pay the whole of the mosey he had received
