THE DAY'S NEWS.

A meeting of the shareholders of the Liverpool
Borough Bank was held yesterday. it was of a
• merely routine character, but the following
resolution was passed unanimously :—That all acts
arid proceedings done and taken by the liquida-
tors at the adjourned General Meeting, held on
the 12th of N. inst , beaind the same are hereby,
• adopted .and confirmed. • •
A case of alleged attempted 'wife poisoning
came before the stipendiary. magistrate, Mr. Mans-
field,yesterday. A man named John Guy, a master
carter, residing in Cheapside,- was 'charged
with attempting to poison his wife. These two
'parties had been married about four years, but
lately they lived in a very unhappy state. Same
days since. the wife took unwell, -and went to Dr.
Gaines's shop and obtained some medicine. The
medicine at the first proved of great good, but on
Sunday, after taking a dose, the women felt very
uuwalt. Evidence was given that nothing deadly
or paisolious had been given. by the assistant of
Mr. Games, and after some time • the further
investigation of the ease was adjmirned for seven
days.
We have not yet received any telegraphic news
from India, but are in hourly expectation of it. It
. will, no doubt, be of a most interesting character,
and we do hope to see some of the statements put
forth in several of the private letters just published,
disproved. One of these letters says, that Lord
Hodgson, after capturing the sons and grandson
of the King of Delhi, had them denuded of-theii
finery—ordered them into their own carriage, and
then he {Lieutenant Hodgson) deliberately shot
one after another of these rebels. We really
-catannt believe' this statement. If it is true, it is
43. old-Weeded murder. Why not have had them
shot in the regular course, or have hanged them ?
but for the in:la:who captured them to have d-
prived them 01 life, after shutting them ue
in a carriage;' and that carriage their own, is a
moat diabolical proceeding. If there is-any reason
. .to put the least taith in the letter we allude to, and
-it is published in a Scotch paper, the Ayrshire
Ezpress; we do look forward with the hope that Sir
A. Wilson will direct a court martial to be held
concerning the conduct of the officer in question ;
and, if he is not summarily disposed of, he ought
to be drummed 'out of the ranks of her Majesty's
army.
It is now stated that Lord Palmerston is very
much disposed to promote great changes in the
future administration of India, and would even go
- so far as at once to abrogate the double govern-
ment system ; and it is intimated that if such be
not proposed by the Ministerial Bench, when
Parliament meets, the fault will not be with the
first Lord of the Treasury. A London cotemporary
is, however, rather inclined to believe that such is
far from being the case. It says :--" We, as well
as the public at hug-, would be very glad ,to
know that such is, indeed, the feeling of the
P for:flier; but our own information, which we believe
to be well-founded, leads us to think that the
rumour in question has no foundation whatever,
except io the natural anxiety that it should
be true. On the contrary, we are informed,
that the First Lord, -in opposition to the
wish of not a few members of the Cabinet, wants
to perpetuate the old system in India, if for no
other purpose than to teach foreign nations that
our Eastern Empire has not been mismanaged.
But it cannot be doubted that the Minister will
throw the East India Company overboard, if lie
find that the country will be against him unless he
do so."
We:learn that yesterday the. Hon. W. Leveson
Gower issued an address to the electors of Paisley,
offering himself as a candidate for the representa-
.tion in Parliament of that borough.
. Several very curious cases have just been before
the London Police Magistrates. In one ease two
respectable architects were summoned for having
indecently interred and dug up the dead bodies
and portions of dead bodies of human beings, and
permitted the said dead bodies to be ex nosed,
whereby decency was outraged and health
endangered. It would appear that these gentle-
men were architects and contractors for the
erection of a Roman Catholic School, which was
to be built on the site of a recent burial-ground ;
such ground, however, was • required to be
thoroughly excavated. and in doing so the bodies
Were exposed. But this was not all complained of.'
A quantity of the bones had been sold to a marine
store dealer. The inquiry was adjourned.
The . British Bank again ! At the Court of
'Queen's Bench, yesterday, Mr. 1). Seymour ob-
tained a rule calling on the Attorney-General to
show cause why Mr. Cameron's trill should no
be postponed. till next term, on the ground that
he had no time to prepare his defence.
A.t the London Court of Bankruptcy, yesterday;
the case in re Syera, Walker, and S 3 ers, bank-
rupts, who had carried on in London and Liver-
pool as ship-brokers, , came up for a further
hearing. The failure was to a large amount, the
liabilities la!ing upwards of £250,000, and the
assets about £33,000. Mr. .Poole opposed .on
behalf of Mr. Farwig, a creditor, and Mr. Law-
rence for others; Mr. Roxburgh appeared on
behalf of Messrs. Syere, and Mr. Bayley- for
'Walker. The case was now further adjourned by
consent for a week.

The Chartist body have not been satisfied with
their recent demonstration at Birmingham, and
they issue therefrom of a sort of political creed. At
London, on Monday night, they held a meeting to
take steps to promote the movement for Parlia-
mentary Reform. It was resolved to call a public
meeting at the London Tavern.

A. terrible boiler explosion, at Huddersfield, has
terminated in the loss of eight lived. At Aspley,
Huddersfield, is situated the cotton factory of
Mr- Charles Kaye, and at this place the explosion.
took place, a little after two o'clock p m., on
Monday. The cause is at present unknown.
Mr. Kaye had recently had a new steam engine
Laid down of 16 horse-power, the old one being
sight horse-power. but till boiler was about two
years old. The engine house is at the side of a
goit at- dam, and over it were two rooms, in which
a portion of the manufaeture was carried on. The
force of the explosion cast these rooms down; and
one part of the boiler, and six persons (four women
and two men), were blown over the goit—the men
into the dye house of Mr. Mitchell, a distance of
42 yards. These persons were killed, and so were
