The early completion of the works of this great Railway
justifies the Company in making this additional issue of
Bonds, following the financial policy adopted at the outset,
of issuing securities to the public only after the actual pro-
gress of the Railway ha, secured the necessary income for
providing the interest. There will remain only the Second
Mortgage of the Ohio division, to be disposed of hereafter,
when the total of the Bonded Debt will be only £6,000 per

away, having enlisted as a marine. About Christ-
mas he deserted, and came down to the neighbour-
hood of Leominster.
For the defence it was contended that the act was
only one of manslaughter.
His lordship summed up with great care and
minuteness, and
The jury, after a short consultation, returned a
verdict of guilty amidst a deep silence.
His lordship then passed the awful sentence of
death in the usual manner.
The court was crowded all day, and the prisoner
bore the trial with great fortitude.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—TAUNTON, March 23.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin.)
James Howell, 32, labourer, was indicted for the
wilful murder of Susan Cleverly, at Bath.
Mr. S. W. Saunders and Mr. Bailey prosecuted.
The prisoner was undefended.
It appeared from the evidence of several wit-
nesses that the prisoner cohabited with deceased at
a lodging-house in Little Corn-street, Bath, and
early on the morning of Tuesday, the 16th of
February, cries of " Murder" were heard coming
from the room in which they lived. Marsh, the
man who kept the house, and Police-constable
James went to the room, and they found the poor
woman seriously injured, and complaining of the
prisoner's violence. The deceased at first threatened
to give him into custody, but subsequently declined,
saying that she should be murdered if she did. A
woman who lived underneath, and other wit-
nesses deposed to having heard noises in the pri-
soner's room, as of some one jumping upon another.
The deceased, who was pregnant, was removed to
another house, and she died on the Sunday follow•
ing. The post-mortem examination proved the
death of the woman to have resulted from internal
disease, caused by the external injuries which were
apparent.
The jury found the prisoner guilty of man-
slaughter.
It appeared that he had been previously tried for
the murder of a woman with whom he cohabited,
found guilty of manslaughter, and sentenced to six
years' penal servitude.
His lordship now sentenced him to penal servi-
tude for life.

TEETH.—Mr. ESKELL'S INVENTION in
the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following advantages :--A set of teeth, of excellent work-
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and tp answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the month without the
aid of a dentist. They arc not so liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comiort guaranteed. Trea-
tise explaining Mr. Eakell's Patent, &c., free for 7 stamps.

Royal Italian Opera, Covent-garden

On Taesday next Mr, Gye commences his ope-
ratic campaign, and the list of new engagements
alone show most certainly that during the recess
he has been most activelfengaged in searching for
and securing the services of artistes new to the
metropolis. We are to have no less than eight
first appearances, viz., Mdlle, Emilia Lagrua
(who will sustain the part of Norma on the open-
ing night), Mdlle. Destinn, from the Imperial
Opera, Vienna ; Mdlle. Giuseppina Tati, from
the Royal Opera, Lisbon; Mdlle. Garulli, from La
Scala at Milan; Signor Scalese, from the Theatre
Italien, at Paris; Signor Attri, from Florence;
and Herr Schmid, from the Imperial Opera, at
Vienna; and Signor Wachtel, whose appearance
may be considered as a debut, ho having sang but
three times at the Royal Italian Opera, in 1862.
The general company, and a most brilliant
one it is, will consist of Mdlle. Patti, Madame
Didiee, Mdlie. Antonietta Fricci, Mdlle. Marie
Battu, Madame Rudersdorff, Mdlle. Anese,
Madame Tagliafico, and Mdlle. Pauline Lucca,
Signor Mario, Signor Tamberiik, Signor Naudin,
Signor Lucchesi, Signor Rossi, Signor Neri, Baraldi,
Signor Ronconi, Signor Graziani, Signor Colonese,
Mons. Faure, Signor Tagliafico, Signor Fallar,
Signor Polonini, Signor Capponi, and Signor
Ciampi, with Costa as director. The arrangements
for the season, which will be found in another
column of The Sun, are most complete, because it
affords an opportunity to each of the recognised
favourites to delight their admirers with a repeti-
tion of many of the characters who have rendered

them famous. Pleasing and delightful as the an-
ticipation may be, we must not be unmindful of the
new works announced for performance. We are to
have Nicolay's opera, founded on Shakspere's
comedy "The Merry Wives of Windsor," entitled
" Die Lustigen Weiber Von 'Windsor," in which the
principal parts -will be sustained by Herr Schmid
and Mdlle. Lucca ; and Verdi's new grand opera of
"La Forza del Destino," written expressly for the
Emperor of Russia, and produced with the greatest
eclat at the Imperial Opera, St. Petersburg, last
year. Another feature in the attractive programme
is the announcement that Meyerbeer's grand opera
" L'Etoile du Nord" will be produced with the
utmost splendour. Altogether the season for 1864
bids fair to exceed all its predecessors both as re.
garde the number of artistes engaged and the im-
portant works to be performed, and we can only
echo the wish of thousands, viz., that Mr. Gye's
exertions may meet with that solid and substantial
reward which they undoubtedly deserve.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-WEDNESDAY.

There was a fair attendance at the Post-office Hotel this
day, and the betting, although not characterised by any
heavy outlay of money, was significant. For the Great
Northamptonshire Stakes Gardener remained firm, and 7
to 1 was scarcely obtainable against him at the break-up o
the rooms. Costa and Touch and Go were rather freely
supported ; and Dollar was backed to win £l,OOO, at 16 to 1.
100 to 3 was accepted about Blithfield to win £6OO, but,
subsequently, 50 to 1 was laid against him. Several horses
were invested on for Earl Spencer's Plate, but the tran-
actions were not important,—The betting on Chester Cup
is of a remarkable character. During the afternoon 1,000
t o 15 was laid against Golden Pledge, but finally 20 to 1
would have been taken about the facetiously-styled " lame
'un." Anfield found a backer at 20 to 1; and Oldminster
was in a little demand, at 25 to 1. Closing prices :

Ainsworth's New Story in "Bentley."

Another instalment of " Tce House of Seven
Chimneys" carries Mr. Ainsworth and his readers
well on in the track of Jack and Tom Smith, or, in
other words, of Charles the First when Prince of
Wales, and Babie Charlie's companion, old Kiog
Jamie's good dog Steenie, the handsome and high and
mighty George Villiers, afterwards Duke then
Marquess of Buckingham. The twain, distinguished
imply as Jack Smith and Tom Smith, and attended
by their trusty retainers (also disguised) may be
considered at last as fairly eff on their wild madcap
expedition from London to Madrid. Mistaken for
Highwaymen on Gadslaiil—that haunt of a Great
Humorist not alone in Falstaff's time, but more
than ever now !—Jack Smith and Tom Smith are
pursued by the officers of justice from Gravesend ;
and are actually brought to bay by Master Launee-
lot Stodmarsh, the Mayor of Canterbury. After
being lodged for a night—as guests, observe, simply
as guests—in Dover Castle, they cross the Channel
on the following morning, and ride post after-
wards from Boulognessur-Mer to Paris.
There we leave them graciously entertained by
the Due de Monbazon—preparing to attend a grand
banquet given by the Queen Mother (Marie de
Medicis) to the reigning sovereign—Jack and Tom
appearing there, of course completely incognito, but
arrayed with becoming splendour by M. Marolles,
the Court Tailor, and by M. Gaston, the Court
Perruquier, The scenes already depicted by Mr
Ainsworth's pen in this his new historical romance
are so pictureEqm and varied of their kind, that
we cannot but regret their being no longer as they
were wont to be, in the days of his" Tower of Lon-
don" and " Windsor Castle," illustrated by the won-
derful etching-needle of that Prince among all
artists of the etching-needle—George Cruikshank.

THE CITY DIARY AND ALMANACK FOR 1865,
published, at a shilling, by Mr CollingriJgo of
The City Press, comes forth, as it has done now
for some years past, very occi:ptably in December,
in anticipation of the advent of the new twelve
mouth. It is filled with useful and well-arranged
information. It is interleaved throughout with
blotting paper, It is of a convenient desk.sisP,
as
is the very thing for the entry of everyday me..

GIFT TO A CORPORATION BY SIR GEORGE

chair.

The CHAIRMAN said they had convened the meeting for
the purpose of obtaining the authority of the shareholders
to raise the capital requisite for the construction of certain
branch railways sanctioned by Acts passed in the last Session
of Parliament. The directors unanimously recommended
the shareholders to raise the new capital by the creation and
issue of a4l per cent, preference stock. Tho amount now
required was rather less than £230,000. He concluded by
moving a formal res ,lution, authcrising the creation end
issue of that amount of 4 per cent. preference stock, which
W,19 seconded and unanin ously adopted.

The CHAIRMAN said the next resolution he had to sub-
mit We 9 the subscription to the Portpatrick Railway of
£lO,OOO, which the directors had already paid, t nd he trusted
that the arrangement with that company would have the
effect of improving the position of the Caledonian Comp, ny.
Mr A. BUCHANAN seconded the motion.

Mr Meiklam, Mr Robertson, Mr C. Smith, jun., Mr
M`Gavio, end other shareholders opposed the motion. In
the course of a long discussion en amendment was proposed
end negatived, end the original motion was car,:ed. The
working agreement between the Caledonian end Portpatrick
Cornpenies was then approved, and the proceedings con-
cluded with a vote of thenks thechait man.

Federals and Confederates in Bristol.

A meeting was convened at Broadmead-rooms, Bristol,
yesterday to adopt an address from Bristol expressive of
gratification at the re-election of President Lincoln, and the
consequent continuance and extension of the anti-slavery
policy which the Federal Government has inaugurated
under his Administration; 61 and 2d were charged for ad-
mission. The room was crowded to excess.
Mr PowELL, a working man, in dumb show, moved that
Mr Warren, Town Councillor, should act as chairman.
Mr WARREN was unable to get a hearing, the audience
singing " We won't go home till morning," " John Brown,'
and other songs. Cheers were given for Jeff. Davis and
Lee, and groans fur Grant, Butler, and Lincoln.
At last arushwas wade on the platform. Me,ers Handel,
Cosshaw, and other intending speakers were ignominiously
routed.
Some Northern sympatisers remaining another charge
was made. The chairman's table was wrenched in pieces,
and the platform lift in possession of the friends of the
South.

The Letter of Muller's Father.

In consequence of the letter which appeared in
the limes of yesterday, addressed by the con-
vict Muller, while under sentence of death in
Newgate, to his father and other immediate rela-
tives in Germany, Mr Sheriff I)akin has felt it to be
his duty to hand to us, with a view to publication,
a letter written in answer to that communication by
the father of the convict. It should be explained
that the letter of the convict, whictt was written on
the Ist of November, a fortnight before his execu•

tion, was placed in the bands of Mr. Sheriff Dakin
on that day to be forwarded to its destination. The
Sheriff forwarded it without delay, and the reply,
having been received at Newgate on the 12th of
November, the day but one before the execution,
was immediately handed to the condemned man.
After the execution it plesed into the bands of the
sheriffs as the proper custodians of such a docu-
ment, and is now published with their sanction
and at their request :

"Unglucklicher Sohn,—Deinen Brief haben wir
erhalten den 6ten November. Aber, ach, wie tief
bist du gefallen ! Du verlangst Verzeihung von
uns. Wir vergeben dir, and wenn du schuldig bid
so :.:wird Gott dir such vergeben, and bist du
unschuldig so wird Gott dir deine letzten Stunden
erleichtern. Ich will schlissen ; meine Gedanken
vergchen mir. Gott sei mit dir. Amen.
"DEIN UNGLUCKLICIIER VATER.
" Langen Dembach, den 9ten Nov., 1864."

A translation, as nearly literal as possible, is

subio:ned

"Unhappy Son,— We received your letter on the
6th of November, but, alas! how deeply you have
fallen. You ask us to forgive you ;we do forgive
you, and if you are guilty, may God forgive you
also. If you are innocent, may God lighten your
last hours. I must conclude, for my thoughts
fail me. God be with you. Amen.
" YOUR UNHAPPY FATHER.
Langen, Dembaeb, Nov. 9."
The extreme brevity of the letter in comparison
with the length of that of the son to which it was a
reply, and its general tone produced an impression
on the minds of the Sheriffs and the authorities at
Newgate at the time that the convict had failed to
convince his father of his innocence.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
—The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher preached a "political
sermon" on the Sunday after the Bth of November. "Never
before," he exclaimed, " have Christ and Belial been more
clearly opposed, and thank God, Cbrist has beaten,"

beautiful public memorial had been offered to him: He ac-
cepted it with pride and satisfaction, and with the utmost
gratitude; and it would always be his endeavour to protect
and sustain it. (Applause.)
On the motion of Mr PRICE, a vote of thanks was
passed to the Building Committee, and the proceedings ter-
minated.

EAST INDIAN IRRIGATION AND CANAL.

The half-yearly general mceting of this company was
held on Wednesday at the London Tavern, Mr J. Thomson
in the chair.

The report, an abstract of which has appeared in ne
Sun, was taken as read•

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said the works had been going on in the most satisfactory
way during the past six months. Their great object was to
bring the works into profitable or eration as soon as possible,
and with that view they had concentrated their efforts on
such parts of the undertaking as were likely to yield re-
turns at the earliest period. They were informed by their
chief engineer that the present outlay and progre:s would
soon bring about satisfactory results. The works had
suffered to some extent from the recent cyclone, which he
believed was one of the severest that had ever been known
i❑ India; but they had not yet been informed as to the ex-
tent of the damage to the works ; they did not, however,
anticipate anything serious. Tho Oolaberish Canal was
opened for navigation on the let May last, and the result
was so far satisfactory; they fully expected that when it
was completed, in connexion with other works, it would
yield a good return. Some of their operations were in a very
forward state, and he had no doubt the undertaking, when
completed, would be very remunerative. There was a great
demand for irrigation, and the value of a good system was
fully appreciated in India. He trusted that they would all
ba spared to see the completion of their extensive and most
useful undertaking.

In reply to questions it was stated that they were assured
by the engineer that all the wurks now in progress would
be completed withi❑ the limits of the existing capital of the
company, and that they did not intend to make a further
call until next year, which would probably be about £3 per
share.

Resolutions were passed adopting the report and re.
elccting the retiring directors and auditor. A vote of
thanks to the chairman and directors concluded the pro-

ceedings.

WATERLOO BRIDGE.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at the Freemasons Tavern, Great Queen-street—Mr
Anders'm in the chair.

Mr I OWELL read the report, which stated that the tolls
for the last half year had amounted to £11,289, against
£11,d67 in the corresponding period of last year, being a
decrease of £278. The foot tolls had produced £5,453, and
the horse tolls £5,827. After providing for all current
charges, interest on bonds, and payment of a dividend of
4s 4d in the pound, there remained a surplus of £739, which
made the reserve fund £5,423. The bridge and its ap-
proaches were in a sound and satisfactory condition.
The CHAIR "-N. i.a moving the adoption of the report,
said that about two-thirds of the traffic receipts of the bridge
were derived from the 'Waterloo Railway station.
Mr BIRD seconded the resolution, which was adopted,
Messrs Hedger, Turner, Joyce, and Bennett, the retiring
directors, were elected, as
was also Mr Stuck@ as auditor.
A vote of thanks to the chairman coneladed the proceed-
ings.

Punch's Pocket Book for 1865.

Gilt-edged, bound in morocco with a tongue-and-
loop, having its usual folding coloured frontispiece
and its accustomed coloured vignette—both of these
latter, by the way, for the first time, by Charles
Keene, neither by them, alas ! for the first time,
by our delightful and gratefully remembered, but
now dead-and-gone, John Leech—Punch's Pocket
Book appears, once more, right hilariously. Mr.
Punch himself, it is true, seems to be offering it
on his title-page, rather demurely, but in the
comical illustrations that follows among the
letterpress, he may be said to be kicking
up his heels with all his wonted ridiculousness.
Mr. Tenniel has this season employed his pencil
most industriously in the adornment of the
Pocket Book with comical eats, some among
them, in their comicality, of the very first excel-
lence, The Allegorical Designs proposed by him
to be placed over Downing.street, over the House
of Lords, over the House of Commons, over the
War-office, and over the Exchange (and all of
them of course, alike, Over the Left) are con-
spicuous among these successes in the way of pic-
torial eccentricity. The embellishments contri-
buted by Tenniel to the Second Part of the Pocket
Book are to our thinking not nearly to clever—
with one solitary exception, however, when we say
this—namely, Tenniel'e sketch of Love Above-
board.
