VALE OE LLANGOLLEN.

At the half-yearlymeeting, on Saturday, at Llangollen,
Colonel Tottenham ii the chair, the report was adopted.
The chief points in the report were that the railway had been
safely and satisfactorily worked by the Great Western Rail-
way Company; that goods were now added to the passenger
traffic, and that the accounts warranted a dividend at the
which had arisen as to the terms of the working agreement
with of 3 per cent. ; Mt until the adjustment of a question
hth the Great Western Railway Company the directors
considered it expedient to postpone the declaration of a
dividend. The question only applied to the pant year.

GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
Aberdeen on Friday, Sir D. 11. Elphinstone in the chair.

The report was &ld as read. -
The CHAIRMAN said that the traffic returns for the past
half-year showed that the company was in au exceedingly
favourable position. The increase was something like
£1,700 notwithstanding the very bad harvest of last year.
There had been a falling off under the head of agricul-
tural produce of £7OO. Since last meeting the compeny
had entered the Clearing-house for a considerable portion
of its traffic, and next month they would enter for the
whole, so that they would be able to obtain through rates
on much easier terms for all goods sent by through traders.
He then referred to the opening of the railway from Forres
to Perth, and expressed his conviction that if that line
interfered with the traffic (southwards) of the Great North,
it would only do so temporarily. Alluding to the meeting
held a fortnight back in connexion with the opening of the
Highland line, and the gentleman who then presided, he
said, although he differed from Mr Ellice iii many matters,
he always looked upon him as one of the leading men in
h country, who guided the affairs of the country in
the e most
delicate crisis to which it was ever tsub-
jected, and had left a name which was an honour to Aber-
deenshire. •
After some remarks by Mr. Stewart, the vice-chairman
of the company, expressive of the willingness of the direc-
tors of this line to enter into amicable arrangements with
the Scottish North Eastern Company towards effecting an
amalgamation, the report and statement of accounts were
approved.
The following dividenis were then declared,—upon the
new shares at the fixed rate of £1 lOs per cent. per annum ;
the new preference shares (B) at It lOs per cent per annum;
the preference stock at Z 7 per cent. per annum ; and the
original stock at the rate of £7 per cent. per annum.
A vote of thanks to th 3 chairman terminated the proceed-
ings.

THE ARMY.

The I battery of the 4th Brigade of Field Artillery
will commence its march from the Ili sea Artillery
Barracks at Portsmouth this morning, for Woolwich,
to embark for service in New Zealand. The fol-
lowing officers accompany the battery, Lieut.-Col.
Barstow in command :—Capts. Betty and Martin ;
Lieuts. Toogood, Robson, and Donnythorse. It is
a very creditable fact, and also suggestive of the
present serviceable state of the field artillery of
England, that within one hour of the I battery re-
ceiving its orders to prepare for embarkation for
foreign service, it was complete in all respects, even
including its tent equipage, and could have been
embarked.

Full benefit of reduced duty obtained by pur-
chasing Horniman's pure Tea; very choice at 3s. 4d. and
4s. " High Standard "at 4s. 4d. (formerly 4s. Bd.), is the.
strongest and most delicious imported. Agents in every
town supply it in packets.

ATTEMPITD SUICIDE.—On Su❑day an attempt
at suicide was made by a woman named Caroline
Murray, living at No, 3, Woodin-street, Cornwall-road.
It appears she had taken the best part of a bottle of a com-
pound mixture used for French polishing. She was taken
to Guy's Hospital, where the stomach-pump was used by
the houso surgeon, but she remains in an insensible con-
dition.

[ADVERTISEMENT].—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Fear Not.—Though surrounded by circumstances disad-
vantageous to health, these remedies, properly applied, will
cut short fevers, influenza, inflammation, diptheria, and a
host of other complaints, always lurking about to seize on
the weak, forlorn, or unwary. The superiority of Rolle-
way's medicines over others for subduing disease has been
so widely and fully proved, that it is only necessary to ask
the afflicted to give them a trial, and if the instructions
folded round them be followed no disappointment will ever
ensue, nor dangerous consequences result. In hoarseness
arid ulcerated sore throat the Ointment should frequently
Le rubbed on the neck, and top of the chest; it will arrest
the increasing inflammation, allay disquietude, and gra-
dually cure.

feature created by the incidents of modern warfare.
These ships are steam rams—that is to say, ships
constructed for the purpose of destroying
other
ships by the impact of their iron prows. The,'
carry, therefore, their armament in their very forts
and build, and are virtually armed vessels before
they have got a single gun on board. This brings
them, according to the advisers of the Crown, even
while empty, within the scope of the law; but,
though Lord Russell, in reviewing all these circunr
stances, promises that right shall be done, he de''
clares in the plainest and most uncompromising
language that not the slightest concession or sur-
render shall be made to threats. "We will net
adopt any measure that we think to be wrong. We
will not yield a jot of British law or British right
in consequence of the menaces of any foreign
Power." These words, which were received by tho
audience with the loudest applause, should be proof
sufficient that the honour of the country runs ne
risk in the hands of her Majesty's Government',
But the feature of his lordship's speech which will
commend itself most readily to the public is the
homely common sense and practical hones ti
which pervades every portion of the argument:
Though the Foreign Secretary cannot preteri,
to neglect the letter of the law, Lord Russel'
is far more solicitous about its spirit. His rule
is evidently sought not so much in the pages
of jurists as in the golden maxim of rnoralitil
"Do as you would be done by." He puts England
in the position of the Federal States, and asks what
we, if we were so circumstanced, might be expected
to do. Having satisfied himself on that point, be
proposed that the Federals should be allowed to cici
the same, and when the Americans are capable C,
forming a calm and unbiassed judgment of ell'
policy they will give us credit for these good inter'
tions. At present, unhappily, they are in 110 itir
partial mood, and it is seldom, indeed, that a Mini'
ster of State has been compelled to speak of the
opinion of a foreign country in language so stroll
as that used by Lord Russell in describing the
speechee and writings of Americans. He acknow:
'edged the impartiality of the Federal Governraen!
and the reasonableness of Mr. Seward himself, but
of American orators in general, and of Mr. Sumner
in particular, he could only say that their aforte
directly tended to plunge two great countries int°
war. Of that contingency the Americans may nelq
learn our thoughts from the mouth of a Minister
whose words will find a faithful echo in the breasts
of his countrymen. England will use every effort
for the preservation of peace ; she will do " evil;
thing which she thinks just and right" toworet,
Americans, but she "will be really to meet attac.o.
if unjustly attacked, and ready to bear her part I°
the contest, if contest there must be."

VALE OF LLANGOLLEN.

At the half-yearly meeting, on Saturday, at Llangollen,
Colonel Tottenham in the chair, the report was adopted.
The chief points in the report were that the railway had been
safely and satisfactorily worked by the Great 'Western Rail-
way Company; that goods were now added to the passenger
traffic, and that the accounts warranted a dividend at ihe
rate of 3 per cent. ; but until the adjustment of a question
which had arisen as to the terms of the working agreement
with the Great -Western Railway Company the directors
considered it expedient to postpone the declaration of a
dividend. The question only applied to the past year.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-MONDAY.

For the Great Eastern Railway Handicap Poland was
made the favourite, and the next in request was Summer_
side. The selected one of Lord Stamford's lot was Cas-
sidle. 25 to 1 was laid agat Gemma, but upon the receipt
of the news of what they were doing in London, 10 to 1
was the highest offer against her. The little done on the
Cesarewitch was almost confined to Umpire, Hurricane,
and Myrtle. Any slight advance upon the quotations
would have been readily taken about either of the three.

deceased, as is well known, carried on a verfixteti
sive business as a wharfinger, and was the owner
of the large property known as Hibernia Wharf at
London-bridge. In this business he succeeded his
uncle, the late Mr. David Humnhery, who was for-
merly the occupier of Hay's Wharf in Tooley-street,
which was destroyed by the great fire .at London-
bridge which occurred about two years ago. In the
year 1832, during the mayoralty of SirPetee• Laurie,
Mr. Humphery was chosen by the livery to fill the
important position of one of the sheriffs of lit'ndon
and Middlesex in conjunction with Mr. Ric} and
Peck. After this, further civic honours were en a-
ferred upon him, and on the 17th December, 183'i),
he was elected alderman of Aidgate Ward, and this
position he retained until his death. lie waS sub-
sequently elevated to the position of chief megistrato
in the year 1842, and filled the effice in a most
exemplary manner. The deceased was not, however,
merely content with the position he had acquired
in the City; for he was chosen by the electors of
the borough of Southwark to represent them in
Parliament, and for about 20 years he retained this
position, and was always a stanch supporter of
Liberal principles. He retired from the representa-
tion in favour of Mr. Apsley Peliatt. The deceased
alderman also filled the offices of Master of the
Tallow Chandlers' and Clothworkers' Companies,
and was, at the time of his decease, governor of the
Irish Society, director and treasurer of the Argus
Life Office, director of the Paris and Strasburg
Railway, &c. His death was somewhat sudden, as
he had within a brief period paid a visit, in com-
pany with the rest of the members of the society of
which he was the head, to the estates belonging to
the Corporation of London in Ireland, and upon his
return to town he appeared to be in robust health.
Some time afterwards, however, he complained of

ill health, and he gradually sank, until yesterday,
when he expired. It was found, by the medical
gentleman who attended him up to the time of his
death, that he was afflicted with diabetes.

THE ARMY.

The order for the annual distribution of medals
and gratuities to those non-commissioned officers
and men of the Chatham division of the Royal Ma-
rines Light Infantry to whom they have been
awarded by the Lords of the Admiralty for long
service and meritorious conduct has been received at
head-quarters. The non-commissioned officers and
men selected for decoration with the good service
medal are :—Sergeant J. Senior, «ho also receives
a gratuity of £l5 ; Sergeant E. Mordy, who is
awarded a gratuity of £10; and Corporal S. Leete,
Private J. Charge, and Private W. Southan, each
of whom will also be presented with a gratuity of
£5. The whole of the non-commissioned officers
and men to whom the good conduct medal and gra-
tuity have been awarded have been in the corps of
Royal Marines upwards of 21 years, during the
whole of which period they have born an irreproach-
able character.
We have to record the death of Col. G. D. Will-
son, C. 8., who died on Sunday last, at Romford,
in his 83d year.
Colonel Wilson entered the
army at an early age and was present with his
regiment, the 4th (Ring's Own) on the expedi-
tion to the Helder in 1799, and afterwards at
the siege of Copenhagen in 1807. He subsequenTly
went to the Peninsula and served under Sir John
Mooie at the battle of Corunna, where he was
wounded. After taking part in various actions, he
was present at the storming of Badajoz, where ho
was again wounded. He was aide-de-camp
to Major-General Pringle at the battle of Sala-
manca, and present at the capture of Madrid
and the Retiro, the siege of Burgos, the battles
of Nivelle, Nive, St. Pierre, Olthes, and St.
Palais. Ho commanded the 4th Regiment
at Waterloo, where he was again wounded. In re-
cognition of his services he had received the gold
medal for Badajos, and the silver war medal with
six clasps for the other engagements in vi hick he
took part in the Peninsular campaign.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Before Justices! Wightman, Crompton, and Mellor.)
CLEVELAND RAILWAY V. FOSSETT.

Mr. Kimpton moved, on behalf of the plaintiffs, for the
modification of an order that had been made at Chambers
by Mr. Justice Crompton. The action was originally
brought for the recovery of certain calls, and the defendant
pleaded never indebted. The order granted by the learned
judge gave a power to inspect all subscription contracts,
transfer-book, cash-books, and all documents whatsoever,
there being, in fact, no limit to the order.

Mr. Justice Wightman thought the learned gentleman
had better make an application to Mr. Justice Crompton at
Chambers to make some limitation.
On the other side, it was said that information on other
matters than those spoken of was the object of inspection.
The Court suggested that some arrangement should be
made by the learned counsel on both sides as to inspection.
This course was assented to.

BAIL COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Blackburn and a Common Jury.)
WILLIAMS V. PHILLIIS.
This was an action for illegally entering the plaintiff's
premises, and injuring his furniture.
From the evidence it appeared that the defendant was a
wardrobe keeper, in Albany-street, Regent's-pack, which
had been let to Mr. Samuel Vagg, otherwise Collins, tha
Irish vocalist. Collins was under :ome obligation to the
plaintiff, and in September last Vagg agreed to let the
house to the plaintiff until the end of the term in Decem-
ber, at the nominal rent of 58. Collins gave notice of such
intention to the defendant, and sold his furniture which
was in the house to the plaintiff. The plaintiff went to
take possession of the premises, but found the door I.cked,
and Mrs. Phillips refused to admit him. The plaintiff then
broke the door open, and got in, and having seated himself
on a :ofa, commenced smoking. The defendant shortly
after this came in, and ordered Williams cut of the
place, and threatened, in the event of his refusing to go, to
kick him out. He then dragged the plaintiff over the fur-
niture, by which considerable damage was done, and also
hurt the plaintiff by the violent manner in which he seized
him. During the cross-examination of the plaintiff, he said
he was neither friend nor acquaintance of Collins, and how
he was under obligation to him N3,as that he had lent him a
certain sum of money.

A number of witnesses were examined, and it was con-
tended an agreement had been entered into between the
parties relative to giving up possession of the premises in
consideration of law proceedings being stopped.
The jury, after a short deliberation, found a verdict for
the plaintiff, with one farthing damages,

THE YELVERTON CASE.

The following correspondence appeared in the
Scotsman:—

Chambers, 60, Hanover streets
Edinburgh, Jan. 12, 1863.

Sir,—My attention has just been called to the London
Examiner of Saturday, the lota inet., in which there ap-
pears an excerpt from a letter written to the editor by Mrs.
Forbes, who claims to be the wife of Major Yelverton.
This letter contains statements which are untrue and
grossly offensive towards the Hon. Mrs. Theresa Yelver-
ton, my client. These cannot be allowed to pass without
retractation and apology ; but in the absence of Mrs,Yelver-
ton from this c untry, I refrain from doing more than to
make this public intimation, through you, that ulterior
proceedings must necessarily follow upon such a libel as
this.

I wish that this lady had adopted Mrs. Yelverton's
example during her long four years of anxious and
trying endeavours to establish her rights in tho courts of
law. Though she has been most grossly calumniated by
Major Yelverton's friends, she has never retaliated by one
word, even of remonstrance. She has been content to bear
patiently the remarks of the public and the press as the
consequence of her being engaged in a public suit ; anti
the only thing that she has done, in order to set herself
right NI ith the public, and to correct the impe, feet and par
tial knowledge of the press—seeing that they will continue
to offer comments on her case—is simply to print in extenso
those letters which, when read in the shape of garbled
quotations, have been tortured to her discredit. She has
never said one word against the woman who has been put
into a position by Major Yolverton'e conduct only a little
less painful than her own ; and I regret that, when these
proceedings are now drawing to a close, this other incident
should have occurred to add increased bitterness to the dis-
pute.—i am, &c.

JAMES Somizuvnix,
Solicitor for the
Hon. Mrs. Theresa Yelverton.
