The annual general meeting of the members of
17nitremity College, London, was held in the college yes-
terday afternoon ; Lord Burn, vice resident, in the
chair. The report trem the souse% wllsh was • very
l
doom mat, seated that the number of pupils sod
erient daring the session of 1866-67 amounted to 1,042,
being en increase of 147 over the number during the pre-
vious session. Of these 591 wore students in the oxbow
and 461 were pupils In the school. Of the students, 249
belonged to the faculty of 'medicine, 102 being new
students ; and 340, of whom T. 33 were new students, to
the faculty of arts and law. The highest number of boys
in the school during any one term was 367. The gross
amount of fees received during the year was 14,9961., being
1,0471. more ;than in 186346, and the sum paid to
professors, teachers, and masters was 10,8241. 17s. 2d.
1,688/. 81. was received for clinical instruction at the
hospital, and bad es usual been surrendered by the
medical Akers for the benefit of the charity. The
amount showed an apparent excess of expenditure for the
year of 461,,i his. 6d., but 165/. had been paid for six
months' pat6sbial taxes, which became due in 1865-66,
and there was really, therefore, a surplus of receipts of
about 1101. For the current session the entries up to the
present date were, in the faculty of medicine, 204, of
whom 57 were new students ; in the faculty of arta and
laws, 305, including 94 to the evening elem., of whom
188 were new students ; and in the wheel 370, of whom
50 wens new pupils. As compared with the entries up to the
same period of last per there was an increase of 5 in the
medical faculty, 10inarts and laws, and nine in thesehool.
The new students in medicine were less by seven than last
year, but there had been a marked decrease in the new
entries in all the London schools. In the (amity of Arts
there had been • decline of 80 in the new entries. Upon
the motion of Mr. J. Heywood, seconded by Mr. Mo-
°Atli, the report was received, and ordered to be circu-
lated. Lord Brougham was re-elected president, Lord
Belper vice-president, and Mr. G. Grote treanurer. The
following gentlemen were elected members of the council:
—Messrs. H. M. Bompas, W. Fowler, J. C. Gooden, C.
Z. Macaulay, H. Matthews, and J. Tyndall ; and Mr. A.
Tyler was chosen auditor. Mr. Coons-Hardy proposed
en amendment in the bye-laws regulating the appoint-
ment of fellows of the college, the elfeot of which was to
require the council every alternate year to oousider the
propriety of electing new follows ; to limit the number to
be appointed in one year to six, three of whom should be
graduates in medicine and science, end three graduates in
arta and law, all having poised with honours at the Moll
examination for • degree in the University of London, and
to provide that no graduate should be elected a fellow
more then ten years after he had taken his bachelor's degree.
Professor WILLIAMSON objected to the requirement that
fellows should have taken a degree in honours in the Lon-
don University ; and Mr. R. H. Hurroe to the ten years'
limit. After a short conversation, in which these views
found a good deal of favour, the proposed bye-laws, and an
amendment moved by Professor Williamson, were both
withdrawn, upon the understanding that the council would
reconsider the question with reference to the desirabilitp
of improving the proprietary of the college. The proceed.
inp closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman and
the council.

REVISION OP THE PRAYER•BOOK. —At the recent
conference held at the offices of the Society for the Revi-
sion of the Prayer-book, Feb. 19, the president, Lord
Ebury, is the chair, the following resolutions were
adopted :—Moved by the Hon. and Rev. E. V. Bligh,
M.A., vicar of Billing, Kent; seconded by Mr. F. J.
Hamel, That the evils from which the
church of England is at present suffering cannot be effec-
tually removed without a revision of the Book of Common
Prayer; and that no legitimate opportunity shoeld be
omitted of calling attention to the prieciples and objects of
this association." Moved by the Rey. Carr J. Glyn, M.A.,
rector of Witchampton, Dorset ; seconded by the Rev. H. •
Carrow, M.A., 4, St. Leonard's-terrace, Maidahill: —" That
a consultation be had with members of the Hoare of Com-
mons friendly to the principles of this association, with the
siewof obtainingtheiropinion astothepromiety of attempt-
ing a discussion in the houseupontherevision of the Liturgy,
se to the best method of dealing with the evils arising from
the present attempt to carry this country to the church of
Rome. Moved by the Rev. Samuel Minton, M.A., Minister
of Eaton Chapel, Pimlico, S.W. ; seconded by Mr. Alex-
ander Beattie, Seuunerhill, Chislehurst, :—" That,
considering the strong desire which to large a number of
the faithful members of our church are manifesting for
trying the state of the law with regard to the Rubrics
referring to vestments and other matters connected with
public worship before having recourse to measures in any
other direction, and influenced by the paramount import-
ance ad union among all who value the principles of the
reformation, in face of the perils with which the church of
England is now threatened, this conference deems it a duty
to give a friendly support to the operations of the Chute
Association.
ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY. —The director's.
of this ooinpany, as well an the overwhelming majority of
shareholders who supported the resolutions submitted to
the meeting on Tuesday have, in consequence of the tuft
expected results of the pall se ansesseed yesterday, twee
with a disappointmeat which, for the present, has com-
pletely baffled their efforts. Mr. Burt (solicitor), who
was said to have acted in the intermits of the
opposition party, was appointed one of the sort-
towers on Tuesday, and, in the wares of his
labours, he ascertained that proxies favourable to the
directore's scheme, and representingepwerds of 10,000 votes
had been sent in between the first messing and the
adjourned one, and that they were, therefore, technically
and legally inoperative. The striking off of so 'ergs a
number of votes does not leave three-fourths of the share-
holders in favour of the motion, and so far the board are
checkmated. It appears that for the resolution there was
31,051 votes, of which 27229 were prordm, and 3,822 re-
corded by shareholders who attended the meeting, where-
as the votes against it only amounted to 8498, of which
186 were proxies. The votes which were struck off repre-
sented 223,4201. of stock, end the remaining 20,298 votes
represented 426,8151. of stock. The stock attached to the
votes recorded by the opposition arnonntstol7o,o7sl.,wisieh
is a trifle more than a fourth of the whole. The chairman '
after announcing the result of the poll, expressed the de-
' termination of tbe direction to get possession of their own
proerty. Mr. But, referring to some remarks of the
I chairman, denied that he had acted in the interest of the
Anglo-American and Telegraph Construction Companies.
) The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the
' cheirmen, who, in acknowledging the compliment, stated
) that the directors would 'barfly -call a meeting of the pro-
prietors to determine the future action of the company,

IlliT LONDON RAILWAY.

The sixth ardinesy general meeting et this arra-
paw was held yesterday at the 9liy Teemineis Motel, Om-
mesi-eirent.
Mr. W. Hamm (the chairman), hawing the adoption
of the report (oforMeh the salient mints have Men

meat was net without alloy, Menus they mould new leek
forward with great eonlidesee S. the construction
of the line on better terms than might have
been the ease had the construction peweeeded at railway
speed as was originally cootemplated. The difficulties
tinder which the Great Eastern Company laboured had
not decreased during the past six month', and negotiation
with them was impossible. The Hest London Company
might now see that they had a natural ally of even greater
importance in the North London line, which mold give
them a through connection with the London and North
Western. Ement events had been eminently favourable
to the development of all metropolitan railway traffic, and
the constant omnibus traffic to and from north to south,
with the long through traffic, could not fail to pro-
duce a very remunerative income, if the company were
kept intact. • The board had been obliged to prepare a bill
for this swim to procure an extenuou of time for the
exercise of compulsory, powers in taking land, and, if
necessary, to modify existing arrangements with the Grist
Eastern Company. It was gratifying to be able to state
that all the expenditure of the company had been paid in
oath, and he hoped they would always routine to do so.
In September authority was given to issue shares at a
discount to supply the forfeited scrip. An assurance) was
then given that no shares would ho issued at a lower
price than was proposed by the directors without
further einsulling the shareholders. Up to this time
13,225 shares had been taken, leaving 10,862 to be issued,
with 41. per share, or little more than 40,0001., to be paid
upon them before they could be mistimed. He sincerely
hoped these shares would be taken by proprietors, and not
allowed to go out of the company. It was necessary to
the speedy completion of the line that these shares should
be at ones subscribed for. During all the recent disasters
lin the railway world it was gratifying to know that their
prospects ware not only untouched, but increasing fa
, brightness every day. The works on the south side of the
Thames were in a forward state, and the line had been
brought within 150 yards of the junction with the main
line of the London and Brighton, near New-oross,
and from that point northwards there was now
unintarrupsed communication as far as Berkeley-threet,l
RotberMte. The chairman, in conclusion, again urgeek
the shareholders to subscribe for the new shares, but on
the understanding that the whole number was to be takes.
Mr. W. Bane seconded the adoption of the report,
and said he was so satisfied with the position and pros-
pects of the company that he should not hesitate to invest
in purchasing some of the new shares.
Mr. Muroran expresied some dissatisfaction with the
progress of the works, and wished they had been pushed
through to the other end of the Thames Tunnel. He had
never seen work less slowly done, and was et opinion that
if more energy had been shown the line would have been
opened long ago. He was prepared to move the appoint-
went of a committee to examine the works, and confer
with the directors to see whether greeter efforts mold not
be made to complete the line on the south side of the Tom
neL (Hear, hear.)
Mr. liairramon was also • dissatisfied shareholder, and
having his doubts as to the prospect of the railway and
the completion of the works, should not subscribe any
more capital until he knew where it was going to. He
wanted more information, and had bad no reply to same
questions he bad written to the office. Information
might be got by applying to Chancery. (" Oh, oh," and
hisses.) The longer they went on as they were going, the
worse would things Monne, until the company was as bad
as the London, Chatham, and Dover. (Oh, oh.)
- - - •

Mr. BILST spoke in • more hopeful tone of the line, and
regretted the remarks of the two previous speakers ; at
the game time he thought the shareholders would have
more madden's' in the undertaking if a day were ap-
pointed upon which they might go sad visit the works.
Questions were asked by Mr. Gallant, Mr. Engiand, and
Mr. Galsworthy, the letter of whom reproved Mr. Hart-
ridge for speaking unfairly, and thereby misleading the
shareholders.
The CHAIRMAN, in reply, said the re-opening of ques-
tions settled y7eeasrsn ago was most Injurious and unfair. As
to the espenditura, there had been in absolute outlay—
excluding the heavy preliminary expenses, for which the
circumstances of tire times and not the directors were re-
sponsible—nothing that had been done which would not
bear strict investigation. They had pined 410,001. In
land, and there wee no metropolitan company that had
effected land purchases at less prise. There were now
from 700 to 800 yards of covered way complete, sad there
wee only 200 yards to Ithish the ocessetion with the Tun-
nel sad therefore with the Wapping ride of the river,
and then but 40,0001. was wanted to get to the
London Docks. He denied refiring any shareholder in-
formation ;.said the low figure at which the shares stood
on the sure list was a matter over which the directors
hod no sentsei UMW .nay ahmeheider is

works whenever he pleased; end esplained why had
been a temporary stoppage in some portion of works.
If the new shares were all taken up, and the directors
were rumbled to lye their borrowing powers,the line would
be opined to Wapping in the summer. Everything pos-
sible was bang &see to execute the marks oa the north

hem of the °barge, and in some of them the whams were
charged with committing the Yee set with Meat to die-
, turb the publics peace. •
Mr. Mend and Mr. Beasley toadneled the pressealioot
Mr. Willis and Mr. Shoe appeared for the pricers.
The learned counsel for the promotion, fa arming Er
me its the jam explained to them that the Aerie effilifd
Ide rimers me not one of theme teekaisally demilied as
Velma felony, bug they were simply acme& of having ad-
ministered an illegal oath with the MUM is wry out as
illegal object. He then monde& at some length to
narrate the circumstances under whisk ebe charge was
made against the prisoners, and which will be found fully
Mated in the evidence of the withers, who were ex-
amined. He said that the me would principally depend,
undoubtedly, upon the evidence of • man named Boutall,
upon whom, no doubt, • good many observations would be
made, but it appeared to him that the evidence given ley
this witness would be materially corroborated by other
testimony. Mooed* to the evidence of this witness &al
oath of • treasonable character was administered by the
*Amen to • man named Daniel O'Leary, and the matter
haying come to the knowledge of the police, the prisoners
were taken into custody. An inveetigation took place before
a magistrate, and be felt it his duty to commit the pH-
I goners for trial. The grand jury bad returned* true
bill, and is now devolved upon him to lay the evidence
befor the jury, who would have to decide whether the
charge against the prisoners had born substantiated. In
conclasion, he said that although possibly the jury might
be of opinion that no treasonable intentions were really
entertained by the prisoner's, still ha felt assured that they
would agree with him that it was • most mischievous said
dangerous proceeding for • number of ignorant men to
band themselves together by oaths for any purpose.
The evidence for the prosecution was then proceeded
with, and at the request of the counsel for the prisoners
all the witnesses were ordered out of court, and examined
separately.
A long statement that was made by the prisoner Rich-
ardson when under examination before the magistrate was
then put in and read. It was to the effect that they were
all innocent of the charge, and that Boutall had repre-
sented himself to be • Fenian, and that their object in
having any intercourse with him was to find out what he
really meant and hand him over to justice.
Mr. Poland said this was the case for the prosecution.
Mr. Willis said that he should have to make two
speeches, and he proposed, as he had some witnesses to
call for the defence, to examine them first, and then
address the jury.
The following evidence was then adduced for the
defence :
Dennis M'Cartbysaidthatlie was brother of the prisoner
M'Carthy, and was by trade a shipwright. He had never
seen the prisoners Lyttleton or Richardson before the 19th
lof January in the present year at the King William pub-
lic-house. The witness Boatel' was present. He was in
ono of the compartments in company with .• group of
men, end he was praising America. Some man who was
present, and who be afterwards heard -was O'Leary,
asked him for • prayer-book, and he lent him one. Boo-
tall after this put some questions to him about America,
and then invited him to have some gin, and they all went
into • prints room. The persons who went into the
room were the prisoners Boatel' and O'Leary, and Boutall
took off his cost and laid it on the table, and said that he
bad cut it himself. He then said. " May this arm be
paralysed if I am • detective ; I am with you, boys ; I will
take an oath or do anything." Every one then left the
room but witness, Boutall, sad O'Leary, and the latter
produced the book witness had tent, and he asked Boutin
bis name, and added. "I, James Benton, do solemnly
vow." Witness then suspected that something was wrong,
and left the MOM, and Boutall and O'Leary followed. He
did not hear Lyttleton propose any oath to O'Leary.
Crosinexamined—To the best of hie knowledge the door
was not looked at any time, but it might have been. So
far as he knew, however, the door was not locked at any
time. He saw • book in Lyttleton's hand while he was
is the room, whisk appeared to be a note Gook, cad Lyt•
Mateo wrote something in it, when Boutall said that he
was sot • detective. When O'Leary borrowed the book of
him, he said that any sort of book would do, sad he did
not tell him what he wanted the book for. Witness
thought there was something wrong when he heard the
words " 'salami/ vow," and that something illegal was
going Ge
By tit; learned Judge—He was aware that Boutall was
taken into custody by his brother, bet he had not the
slightest ides what he was charged with. Witness had
been in America, and the prayer-book he had with him
was presented to him in Anemias. He had been to chapel
that mains, and that was how be happened to have the
book with Wm. The man O'Leary was an entire stronger
to Man, andbe did not know *bet bad become of him.
Mr. Joseph Willson deposed that he bad known the wit-
ness Boutin many years.
Mr. Shea asked what was his character!
Baron Bramwell said he had never heard • question like
this put before. It was clearly not • proper question to
be pin.
Mr. Shes then asked the witness whether, from what
he knew of him, he would believe Boutall on has oath.
and he replied that he would not.
In 'Rawer to questions put by the learned judge, the
witness said that he formed this opinion from the general
knowledge he had of the witness during a period of twenty
yealll.
Another witness who, like the fernier, resided at St.
Node, gave similar evidence. He admitted, however, that
the witness owed him 21. 19s. when he went away to
America, and that he was very angry with him in cense-
cluence. Upon being pressed as to his grounds for stating
that he would riot believe Beaten on hie oath, be said that
one reason was that he was always looked upon as one of
the most notorious liars in St. Needs. (A laugh.)
Mr. Willis then proceeded to address the jury. on behalf
of the prisoners. He said that although owing to the
change that had been made in the law the offence imputed
to them was no longer capital, still it was one of • most
serious character, and the interests of the prison ffs were
deeply involved in the present inquiry. In this country
they had for so long a period entered the blessings of social
order, that the mere mention of sedition was calculated to
create the strongest prejudice, and he, therefore, entreated
them not to allow themselves to be led away hymnal sfeel
iog from the real facts of the cm, and hastily oome to the
conclusion that the prisoners were guilty of the offence
imputed to them. He then proceeded to refer to the
svMaise that had been adduced for the prosecution, and
reminded the jury that the case rested almost entirely
upon the evidence of one witsees, the man Boutall,
and that, even scrawling to his own showing, the
story was • most improbable one, and one that
could not be believed for a moment. He re-
