voyage from Cani.ff to the Mauritius and • bask.
It was earl that pri-oner had without any provocation
made quarrels with the complainant and aslaulted him.
On the 23rd of May last the prisoner threw a pot of boiling
hot coffee over him. "On several occasions," said tha
complainant, "he tried to murder me." One day the
complainant was sitting down on deck having his break-
fast, when the prisoner knocked him backwards, and then
attempted to force his eyes out.
Mr. Benson—Bow did be do that P

Complainant—He forced his fingers into each corner of
my eyes. My agony was very great, and my eyeballs
were sticking right out of my bead. I called to a ship-
mate called Scotty, who pulled him off me. The prisoner
hit nic again andlococked me down. I was blind for five
days and off duty.

AN INFANT POISONED RI A CHILD FOUR

YEARS OLD.

Mr. Richards, deputy-coroner, held an inquest
at the Castle Tavern, Church-road, Tottenham, last even-
ing, relative to the death of James William Gilbert, aged
eight months, who was poisoned by his little sister, aged
four years.
Mrs. Gilbert, Love-lane. Tottenham, said that last
Friday afternoon the deceased was left asleep in her bed
in a room upstairs,. Witness sent her little daughter
Harriet upstairs to see if he was awake. In a minute or
two the baby screamed dreadfully, and witness ran up-
stairs to ascertain the cause. She found little Harriet
crouched, terrified, under the bed, and the deceased on
hia back unconscious. A bottle of opodeldoo, labelled

"poison," was kept on the high manteiheff, and the little
girl said at the inquest that she got upon a chair for the
bottle, and then put it to baby's mouth.
Mr. J. S. Webb. M.R.C.S., said that he found the baby
suffering from the effects of strong irritant poison, and
he treated it accordingly. It died on Sunday. The opo-
deldoc was composed of liquid ammonia and opium.
The jury returned a verdict that deceased died from
poison administered by his sister, a child of tender age,
who was ignorant of its nature and effects.

LATEST SPORTING INTELLIGSNOE

THE ROYAL WINDSOR IiRETING.

TO THIS =mos OP TIM IMPIIIIIIIII.

Despite the poorness of the sport genc.-
rilly on Cie first day of the Wolverhampton meeting,
there were some rather startling " incidents" the result
of the Stakes, setting men wondering as to how Ilium
very neatly won the Goodwood Stakes, beating Melia
and EcarG, such a long way. But the greatest surprise
is how Isis party should have pulled him out to-
day, with the Ebor Handicap before them; and
they may some day deem it to their advantage that ho
ruiecil bringing them off their intended nr:p through a
" slip up " at the last turn, whereby King's Cross was
enabled to retain to the end the lead he took the moment
the competitors got into action. However, the prize
would scarcely have gone north, if more use had been
made of Ecarti., whose pilot took what was
anything but a "judicious " when he
had the race w hand, for his tactics are
pretty certain to get the colt heavily weighted in future
handicaps. Looking at the day's results "on paper,"
there is 'li-thing rosy now about any of the Ebor Handi-
cap favourites; nevertheless from the foregoing remarks
it is easy to discover there is a great deal under the surface,
and if one could only be satiellcd Ecartil did his best in the
Gi oclwood Stakes, there would he a strong argument in
favour of Tabouret and Ilium at once. But more
light may be thrown on the subject when the
wcci;'s racing Li over; and in the meantime

A second and final dividend of 88. Bd. in the
is now payable to the unsecured creditors of the
Xeres Wine Shipping Company (Limited), at the
offices of Messrs. Cooper Brothers and Co This
dividend is paid under an arrangement with the
secured crethtors, by which the appeal to the
House of Lords, sanctioned by Vice-Chancellor
Malins, against the recent decision of Lords Justice
Wood and Selwyn, has been abandoned. Underthia
decision the secured creditors are entitled to prove
for the whole amount of their debts, irrespective
of the securities they hold or have realised during
the winding up of the company, and the unse-
cured creditors would receive only about 4d. in the
pound instead of es. Bd.
The directors of Hodges' Distillery Company
(Limited) have issued their report in anticipation
of the meeting called for to-morrow. After
referring at some length to the past difficulties of
the undertaking, they state:
It is a Ter/ difficult teak to work up • business which
has been going back for the last twelve years, but your
directors believe that time and economy will very mate-
rially Improve your property. They suggest for your
considaran that one of the following two courses should
be agreed upon, viz. :-1, to continue carrying on the
business of the company with the present reduced expen-
diture as in operation for the last three months, and with
other judicious alterations in the management ; 2, to wind
up the company volunfitrily, giving the liquidators power
to carry it on until a suitable offer be obtained, and then
to sell it as a going concern, subject to the ratification of
such sale by the shareholder.. The directors recommend
your adoption of the first course as most beneficial for
your interests, because, apart from the fact that profit,
however small, is now bong made, if the Chancery suit
against Messrs. Doulton and others is decided in your
favour, and which there is every reason to believe it will
be, a large amount of capital will be brought into the
burins, to your great advantage.
At the meeting of the West India and Pacific
Steamship Company, held on Monday at Liverpool,
a dividend was declared at the rate of 6 per cent.
per annum.
With reference to the Recife and Sao Francisco
Pernambuco Railway Company (Limited), it is
notified that the overdue deferred dividend war-
rants for the two half-years ending June and De-
cember, 1867, will be paid on presentation at the
company's bankers, Messrs. Roberts, Lubbock.,

'The pp:Cretin of the French Atlantic Telegraph
Oemparry, ineorporated under the Companies Acts
of 1862 and 1867, ander the title of the Sooiet6
du Cable Transatiantique Franeais(limited), was
Issued
and work a direct line of telegraph between the
continent and the United States, in accordance
with the concession granted by the French go-
vernment to Baron Emile d'Erlanger, of Paris
and Mr. Julius Reuter, of London. This comes-
Cies, which is dated the 6th ult., confers the pri-
vilege of laying and working submarine telegraphs
between France and the United States ; and the
French government has bound itself not to grant
any other concession of a similar character during
a period of twenty years from the Ist of September,
1869. A concession granted by the State Legis-
lature of New York has been secured for
landing and working cables between that
State and Frame. It appears that arrange-
ments have been made with the Submarine
Telegraph Company for the exclusive use of one
of their wires between England and Dieppe, from
which plane the French government will construct
a special wire to Brest direct for the company. The
valuable eo-operation of the Submarine Telegraph
Company has consequently been secured, and an
uninterrupted route from England to the United
States will be established. It is intended to charge
2/. for a message of ten words, and at this rate it
is expected that the lino will find constant em-
ployment. The steamer Great Eastern will be
employed in laying the deep-sea portion of the
cable. It is mentioned that the cable will be of
the best construction, and that the weight of cop-
per in the conductor has been increased from
30011 n. to 4001bs. per knot. The company
have secured the services of the gentlemen
who contributed to the success of former
expeditions. The conoreaionaires transfer their
tights to the undertaking for five thousand
pilitatc Audi; to bosollottod to fans mbare
ever the cable shall have been successfully laid,
and shall have continued to work satisfactorily for
thirty days. They will also be entitled to
receive one-fifth part of the surplus not profits
in each year, after setting aside a reserve
fund equal to 5 per cent. of the net pro-
fits, and after payment of a dividend of 10
per cent. to the shareholders. The concessionaires
look, therefore, only, to the success of the concern
for their remuneration. The capital is 1,200,0001.,
or 30,000,000 francs, in 60,000 shares of 201., or
500 francs, of which 10,000 are to be issued as
fully paid up shares. The Union Bank of Lon-
don will now receive subscriptions for 1,000,0001.,
in 50,000 shares of 201. each. 11. is to be paid on
application, 41. on allotment, 31. on the 15th of
October, 31. on the 15th December, 31. on the 15th
of February, 1869, 31. on the 15th of April, 1869,
and 31. on the 15th May, 1869. Subscriptions
will also be received in Paris, Berlin, Hamburg,
Bremen, Frankfort, Amsterdam, and the United
States. The directors in London are the Bight
Hon. Robert Lowe, M.P. (chairman), Mr. Cor-
nelius Grinnell (Messrs. Grinnell and Co.), Mr.

—An enthusiastic demonstration took place on the arrival
of Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone at Penmaeonniawr railway
station, near Conway, on Monday, on their way to Pleat.
y-mawr, where Mr. Gladstone intends to reside with his
family for the next two months. They were mat by a
large number of workmen from the neighbouring quarries,
who :Insisted on dragging their carriage from the station
to the house, which was done amidst enthusiastic cheers.
On arriving at their destination, Mr. Gladstone ex-
pressed himself highly gran/led at this unexpected mark
of kind
and goodwill towards himself and Mrs. Glad-
stone.
A LILLIPUTIAN YACHT RAC IL—An exciting
yacht race between lillipntian craft took place in a
timber pond at Bootle, near Liverpool, on Monday. The
largest vessels were 68 inches long, and the prises were a
bu a mirror, and apmal case. The emend match
was between yacht. 64 inc.fiea long, the fleetest of which
won a silver tankard for her owner. In the other
matches vessels 46, 42, and 36 inches long contested.
There was a gentle northerly breeze, which, however, was
suildent to cause some swift sailing. The regatta was
under the auspice& of the Model Yacht Qub.

A FATAL WAGER.----Tießury PORI gives an ao-
count of an inquest held at Brame, near Eye, on the body
of a labourer named Crawford, who made a wager that be
would drink a bottle of rum and work afterwards. He
drank the rum and died the same evening.
TAB ;OAT Horn OF COYXONI3.—The regult of
all this is that the next House of Commons will contain
a much larger proportion than usual of moneyed men.
Whether this is a gain or not is a point we are not dis-
cussing now ; we only wish to point out the fact. There
is no indication whatever of that influx of needy adven-
turers which we were confidently told would be the fruit
of an enlarged franchise ; on the other hand, there is as
little promise of that accession of new blood which was
held out to us as one of the chief benefits of lowering the
suffrage. The new parliament will, in fact, be composed
of similar materials to its predecessors; and though, as we
have explained, we believe the practical policy of our re-
prountativee will be immensely influenced, whether for
Utter or for worse, by the changed character of their eon-
stituaneies, we have no doubt their normal tandenctes will
