WHAM RACES.-WEDNrumy.

This pleasant meeting concluded most suceersfully, the
sport befog good, and the company very large, greatly in
emcees, indeed, of Tuesday. The weather was again bril-
liantly fine, but the bait was too oppressive to be enjoy-
able. Much better time was kept than on the opening
day, and altogether the gathering passed off with n success
that must lave been highly gratifying to the promoters.
Details of the sport will be found appended, and we
can, therefore take leave of the meeting by remarking that
the " welshing" division were in such force that the re-
spectable persons who had taken the "lists" were sub-
jected to all sorts of indignities, and eventually they had
to take refuge in the ring. The police in attendance did
their duty well, but they were not powerful enough to put
down these pests of the race-course.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

1101KE CIRCUIT. —CROYDON, Aucrwr 14.
(Before Mr. Justice Blackburn end a Common Jury.)

CROGICH r.
The plaintiff in this action was a teacher of music at
the east end of the town, and be sued the defendant, the
celebrated player on the cornet-i-piston, for damages for •
breach of a contract he had made with him to play et a
concert given by the plaintiff at the Beaumont Institu-
tion Mile-end.
. . . . . .

Pdr. Tall;iid Salter appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Shaw far the defendant.

The case for the plaintiff was that be had got up • con-
cert at the above institution, which was to take place on
the 27th of May ' • and on the 17th of that month he wrote
to the defendant to play at hie concert, offering him two
guineas fur one solo on his instrument. The
defendant declined to make this arrangement,but said that
he would play twice during the evening for three guineas.
This proposition was acceded to, and bills were issued by
plaintiff announcing that the defendant would be ono of
the artists. This created the greatest excitement, and
the plaintiff anticipated • great profit. The defendant,
however, almost immediately after the engagement had
been made, wrote to the plaintiff to inform him that he
had got an engagement to play at Bristol, by which re
should make 120 f., and that it would, therefore, be impos-
sible for him to play at the concert on the day fixed.
however, offered to play on the 25th, or any other night;
and in an interview which subsequently took place be-
tween the parties the defendant expressed his regret at
disappointing him, and offered to play for nothing on
sore subsequent occasion, but be said that he could not
break the country engagement, and that it would be 250
guineas out of his pocket if he did so. The plain-
tiff said that it was impossible for him to change the day,
and another gentleman, named Be olds, was engaged to
play the corret-a-piston instead of the defendant. The
public did not appreciate the new arrangement, and the
consequence was that the concert, instead of yielding a
profit, turned out • loss to the plaintiff of something like
SOL and the present action was brought to recover
damages for the breach of the contract.
Mr. Shaw, on the part of Mr. LevT, admitted that he
bad made the agreement to play at this concert, and that
he had broken it, and that the plaintiff was consequently
entitled to some damages, but ho urged that a very small
amount would meet the justice of the cue, and that the
matter ought to have been disposed of in the Whitechapel
county-court instead of being brought down to the Croydon
assizes.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

GREAT EASTERN.

A meeting of the East Anglian proprietors was
held yesterday at the London Tavern, Blahopsgata-etreet,
in pursuance of the Great Eastern Railway Act. 1862, for
the election of a director in the room of Mr. W. T.
Makins, who retired by rotation. bnt being eligible,
offered himself for re-election. Mr. LIGHTLY 81lIPHOX
occupied the chair.

The CHAIRMAN, In some opening remarks, said he be-
lieved the course adopted by the representatives of the
East Anglian interest at the Great Eastern board would
be perfectly satisfactory to the meeting, and that East
Anglian securities would now rank amongst the best in
the kingdom of their description. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. (3AMBI.E moved, and Mr. CHAMPNERS seconded, the
re-election of Mr. W. T. Makins, whom they represented
as a man of integrity, ample fortune, and great industry.
Mr. Gamble said he had had more than 20 years) expe-
rience in the management of railways, and had never met
with a more promising director than Mr. Makin.
A PicoeingToit urged that the only hope of redeem-
ing the falling fortunes of the Great Eastern Company
was the adoption of a rigid policy of economy, and he
advised the East Anglian directors to advocate it even to
the cutting down of small things. The concern had
"overrun the constable," and what was done "i all such
cases should be pursued here, economise wherever it was
practicable. (Hear' hear.)
The motion was unanimously adopted.
Mr. NIAKINs, in returning thanks for his re-election,
assured the meeting that there was 'veil disposition at
the Great Eastern board to reduce expenditure, and as a
proof of that he mentioned some improvements now going
on at Stratford and elsewhere, but particularly at Strat-
ford, which must tend greatly to lessen the expenses of
working the undertaking.

doubt that the estimate of 5,060 t. • mile would cover
everything. (Hear.) He hoped good would result from
Mr. Campbell's negotiations in regard to the Nulbatee
line, and until those negotiations were concluded he
recommended that they should hold their Nulhatee
stock. The shareholders would have the privilege of pay-
ing up their shares in full, and they would then become
guaranteed stock. The Nulhatee tram • separate stock
upon which there was no further liability. In reply to
questions he added that the Secretary of State had ac-
cepted the entire expense less 50,0001. on account of the
Nulhatee line, which be hoped would not eventually turn
out so heal as was at one time expected. There were no
calls now in smear. _ _

Yr. R. W. KENNARD, h.P., seconded the motion,
which after some conversation was carried. _ _

The following resolutions were also adopted
" That the execution by the directors of a deed
of contract with the Secretary of State for India,
securing to the company a five per cent.
tee on a capital of 4,000,0001. for the followingua
lines of railway in Oude and Rohilkund be approved, viz.,
• main line from Buser, on the East Indian Railway, to
Mooradabad, or such other point in Rohilkund as may be
determined upon, 430 miles ; Cavrnpore branch, 81 ;
Bemires do., 76 ; Fyzabad do., 14 ; Nynee Tel do., 71 ;
total miles, 672. That the name of the company be
altered from the ' Indian Branch Railway Company
(Limited)' to the' Oude and Rohilkund Railway Com-
pany (Limited).' That the capital of the company be
increased from 1,000,0001. to 4,010,0001., 3,000,000/. of
which to be raised in shares to be offerd from time to
time preferentially to the existing shareholders' and that
out of such increased capital povision be made for the
amount required to meet all mortgage bonds or debentures
of the company. That the sum of 50,0001., being the
portion of the capital of the company excluded from the
guarantee of interest on account of the Nulhatee Railway,
being exactly 10s. per share, be formed into • stock to be
called Nuihatee Railway stock, and that certificates be
issued to the shareholders standing on the register of the
company on the 7th August, 1867, for the proportion
which they may be entitled; and further tha. the
directors be authorised to adopt such measures as they
may deem expedient for disposing of the Nuiliatee
Railway either by sale or lease ; and failing either, they
be authorised to abandon the line and utilise the
materials for the benefit of the shareholders. That the
board be authorised to issue, from time to time, with the
sanction of the Secretarry of State, debentures for five
years to the extent of 300,0001., to bear interest not ex-
ceeding 5 per cant. per annum, and with such powers of
renewal and conversion as they may see fit."
The directors and auditors retiring by rotation were re-
elected, and the usual acknowledgment to the chairman
and directors concluded the procW.ings.
