Royal Dramatic College.

The subscribers to the Royal Dramatic College enjoYcl
yesterday, a very pleasant and satisfactory evidence of a
good resu!ts of their arduous and praiseworthy wide'
taking. " The place to spend a happy day," which is so cot
tinually suggested to us by the Posters of Rosherville, Wt
discovered yesterdry, at Woking, and to Mr J. W. Aos°l
the spirited Secretary of the Royal Dramatic College,
due the chief merit of the discovery. At half-past elevl
about a hundred and forty ladies and gentlemen start'
trom the Waterloo station in a special train courteollg
provided for the occasion by the directors of the Lend
and South-Western Railway Company, whose cc
dial sympathy with the good cause was liberal
manifested by the reduction of the fares to 11
the usual rates. The main object of the excuret
was to enable those who had contributed their money
see how it was expended ; and to all the result of the vi
must have been satisfactory. The well-designed cent
hall, though not yet quite finished, needs only a few towel
of decorative detail to make it complete, and there are 11;
twenty residences furnished and fit for occupation. rt
of these are already tenanted by as many families--1

The gardens, refreshed by recent rain, were bright a

guests. M. Riviere's band lent their aid on the occasic

These worn-out servants of the public had good proof of
affectionate interest which is felt in their welfare by th
who love and revere the art to which they devoted 1
labour of their lives. The veterans all looked well) g
seemed as happy as their most ardent well-wishers co
desire, and the day was evidently for them one of uncoi
enjoyment. Refreshments of excellent quality were sup?]
by Mr Percy, of the Albion Hotel, Woking, and at a 9.t
ter before five the visitors started for London, leaving bet
them a most agreeable impression. The gay meetini
yesterday, which will, in all probability, be only the fire
a series of annual festivals, reflects great credit upon its
rectors, and the friends of the Royal Dramatic College 1J
cause to rejoice in the success of their admirable uOl
,eking.

ADELPIII THEATRE.—The annual benefit of
popular manager of this theatre is announced
take place on Saturday next, when the nightly attract
will be varied by the revival of Planche's comic drs
" Who's your friend ?'' in which Mr Webster will aP
in his original character of Giles Fairfield. The other
tertainments will comprise the successful novelty C
" Stephen Digges," which has served to impress the
going world with a mach higher sense of Mr Toole's
trionic powers than they have heretofore entertained,
the welt-known burlesque by Mr Byron of" The Bab
the Wood." So liberal a programme would, under aO)
cumstances, be a guarantee for the attendance of a n'
roue auditory; but when the additional fact is consid
that the performances are to be given in honour of a
matic artist who has achieved a high honour in the I
character of author, manager, and actor, there can I
doubt that Mr Webster will—as he always and desert
does on these occasions—receive a large mead of P'

patronage.
THE OLYMPIC THEATRE.—We are authorise
contradict the report that the Olympic Thcatre will in f
be under the direction of a Limited Company. Mr 11
Wigan has obtained a lease of the properly for ate'
years, and will shortly reopen the theatre for the bead'
sole lessee and manager.

EXTRAOLDINARY TURN OUT AT MIDD
BOROUGll.—Yesterday the whole of the work
employed by Messrs. Bolckow and Vaughan, irony:ls'
Middlesborough, struck work, owing to the fore
George Bushel, refusing to allow the men to les°l
works on the occasion of a workman, named Taylor,
fatally injured by machinery. Bushel was Eaobbt
the men and hcoted. They charged him with rsf
necessary assistance to the injured man, and threates
.
take his life. The excitement spread with great raPl
and caused considerable alarm in the town. Two 001
men struck. A monster indignation meeting 'ass

and a deputation was appointed to insist on his disc.'
Last night a mob perambulated the town, calla

SUDDEN DEATH.—When the omnibus run
from the railway station of Montbord to Sanlieu (Cote,
arrived at Montigny Mertfort, two mornings since/
the passengers, a gentleman, was ascertained to be
dead. Oa his person were found bank-notes and sec.,
to the value of 20,000 fr., and also papers which secr
identify him as a resident of Sanlieu. All the oileil
sengers were ladies; they had observed that the goat
looked ill, but had no idea that y 9 was dead.

A
further sum of £33,000 in gold was taken into
the
Bunk yesterday.
..T_ The failure has been announced of Messrs. Saab.
Ie
i„,ldßrothers, connected with the trade of Leeds.
feir difficulties are supposed to have been pro-
un
oei through their relations with the Leeds Bank-
ing Company.
The bills of Mr. John Abraham, of Alderman-
bury, engaged in the Leeds woollen trade, were
returned this afternoon.
a The failure has been announced of Mr. C. Dose,
large cotton speculator at Havre. The liabilities _ are stated at £40,000, and the assets are thought to
be considerable.
It is feared that the statements current yesterday
that
the affairs of the Leeds Banking Company are
likely to prove less unfavourable than was at first
VlPPesed will not prove to have been well founded.
At is now said there are bills for about £2,000,000
under discount, bearing the company's endorse-
ment, of which a very considerable proportion will
come back upon them. Under these circumstances
there is no reason to apprehend that the liquidation
will be a long and expensive one, and that heavy
calls will have to be made on the shareholders. It is
further affirmed that the bank has been insolvent
for a long time past, and that the distress of the last
Month or two was only the natural and inevitable
result of financial measures of more than doubtful
character, which have extended over a long period.
The biddings for £300,000 in bills on India took
place yesterday at the Bank of England. The pro-
portions allotted were—to Calcutta £177,700, to
Bombay £120,000, and to Madras £2,300. The
minimum price was, as before, ls. 111 d. per rupee
on Calcutta and Madras, and ls. lltd. on Bombay.
The applications within the limits amounted to
£980,000. Tenders on Calcutta and Madras at 2s.
will receive about 23 per cent., on Bombay at 2s. id.
about 60 per cent., and all above these prices in
full. These terms indicate a diminished demand
for remittances to the East. Ou the last occasion
the lowest of the successful tenders was 2s. lid. on
Calcutta and 2s. lid, on Bombay, and the applica-
tions amounted to £1,300,000.
The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap-
Pointed the following special settling days :
Monday, 26 h of September, in the European Cen•
tral Railway, for bargains entered into on and after
the 23d of April ; Tuesday, the 27th of September,
in the Bank of London New £lOO shares; and in
the Imperial Mexican Railway, for bargains entered
into on and after the Ist of September, all of which
are to be quoted in the official lists. The following
eccarities are likewise to be marked in the twioe•a-
Week lists, viz., the Indian Tramway Company, and
Ihrnmersmith and City Railway Original and Pre-
ference Shares,
The directors of the South Eastern Banking
Company have made a call of £5 pet share, £2 10a
payable on the 15th of October, and £2 10a on the

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day.

OLD COI:RT.
(Before Mr. Baron Pigott.)

THE CHARGE OF ILLEGALLY RECEIVING A LUNATIC.

Henry Wilken, a surgeon, surrendered to answer an in,
dictment charging him with illegally receiving a young lady
named Eliza Mitten, a person of unsound mind, without
having any authority or license from the Commissioners
of Lunacy, under the statute of the Bth and 9th Vict., for
the better protection of persons of unsound mind.
Mr Gifford appeared for the prosecution ; Mr Metcalfe
defended. _ . .

YV
It appeared that the lady in quesfion was of weak in-
tellect, and having become a patient of Dr Wilkin, he
received her into his house, and kept her under restraint
and confinement, and treated her as a pereon of un-
sound mind. But she contrived to make her escape, and
was found wandering about until taken care of by the
police, when Dr Wilkin claimed her as his patient, and
the present proceedings were instituted under the
statute against the defendant for not having complied with
its provisions. A number of witnesses were now called,
who spoke to the kind and humane manner in which he ban
always treated the young lady.

The Jury found the defendant Guilty.
1 he learned Baron ordered judgment to be respited until
next session. The defendant then entered into his own re•
cognisances in £2OO to appear on the 26th of October to
receive judgment, and left the court.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This day.

CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER.
Elizabeth Haggis, a young girl 19 years of age, was in-
dicted, under the coroner's inquisition, for the wilful mur-
der of her illegitimate male child.
It appeared that the prisoner had given birth to the child
at the residence of her mother, a widow and charwoman at
Hackney, early in Augut. The child was discovered by
the mother lying dead and wrapped up on a table. A post-
mortem examination had shown that the child had been
born alive, and that the death was caused by strangulation
horn pressure of the windpipe by the thumb and finger.
The learned Judge having
summed up,
Tho jury acquitted the prisoner, who vt as ordered to be
diecharged.

WESTMINSTER.
BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A WOMAN.—John Barry, a cos-
termonger, was placed at the bar charged with feloniously
assaulting and wounding Hannah Springall, an unfortunate

girl,
Complainant's face was frightfully disfigured, and one of
her eyes completely closed, besides which she had some
wounds on the back of the head. Sbe stated that the pri•
Boner had lived with her for a short time, but that she had
left him on Sunday last in consequence of his repeated bru-
tality. On Tuesday he met and beat her with his fists, and
at an early hour this morning committed the assault of
which she now complained. Ile broke into her room, and
beat her about the head with a piece of iron and a looking-
glass. He struck her several times, and afterwards com-
mitted an assault upon a soldier. She was taken to the
hospital where her wounds were stitched up.
Mr Arnold—Was the prisoner intoxicated ?
Complainant—l can't say he was sober.
Mr Arnold—Did he inflict all the injuries you now bear ?
Complainant—lie did.
Mr Arnold—now do you mean ho beat you about the
head with a looking-glass ?
Complainant—lle broke it about my head.
The soldier assaulted did not press his charge against the
prisoner, but gave some evidence in support of the state-
ment of prisoner's brutality to the woman.
George Stickle, 95 B, said he was called to St. Ann-street
at one this morning, and there found the woman bleeding
from the injuries-she had recaivtd. On examining the
pieces of glass he found some blood and hair on one of
the pieces.
Prisoner NI as remanded until Monday.

At the usual weekly meeting of the executive com
mittee, held on Tuesday, Sept. 20, a letter was read.
dated Government House, Antigua, West Indies, Auguir
26, stating that his Excellency, the Governor-in-Chief o
those Islands, has joined some gentlemen in au experi'
meat to grow cotton on an abandoned sugar estate, with
a view to induce proprietors generally to enter into the
cultivation. The first 100 acres will speedily be planted ;
the outlay is not more than 30s per acre ; the seed used is
from the island of Anguilia, where cotton has been most
successful, and whence it is said the American planters
procured their first seed. Satisfactory specimens of Antigua
cotton have already been sent by the governor through the
Board of Trade, and sanguine hopes of further success are
entertained. A letter was received representing that the
Haytian Government has raised the export duty on cot-
ton. A letter was read stating that Count Livachuff,
principal aide-de-camp to the Grand Duke Michael, is
desirous of introducing the culture of cotton into the
Caucasus, where the short Bukhara cotton has already
been successfully cultivated, and requesting such infor-
mation and assistance as the association can render. A
cottonletter waswhich received,
the
British enclosing Consul,
Mr Balfour Baikie, a small sample of African
has forwarded to Mr Bazley. A letter from the
honorary agents of the association at Calcutta,
states that cotton has been cultivated very
extensively, but the out-turn cannot be relied upon,
and in some districts will probably prove a failure, owing to
the long continued drought. Many natives have been in-
duced to purchase exotic seed, both Egyptian and Ameri-
can ; the Rajah of Benares has taken a quantity of the lat-
ter. A letter was received from Wellington, Madras,
enclosing a sample of a supposed kind of cotton fibre,
obtained from a tree on the Neilgherry Hills, of which
numerous specimens have at various times been forwarded,
but which have never been found available. The honorary
agents at Bombay report that they have recently supplied
Egyptian, New Orleans, and Sea Island seed to the deputy
commissioner of Chandah, and have applications from Seore
(13hopal), the deputy commissioner of Wurdah, the settle-
ment officer,Sukkur (Scinde),and others in Marcara (Coorg),
and elsewhere. Consular despatches, forwarded by the
Foreign-office, were received from Salonica, Thessaly,
Adrianople, Smyrna, the Morer, and Madeira. In the let-
ter island no cotton is grown, nor is there any prospect that
its cultivation would afford satisfactory results. The consul
of Salonica reports that in Macedonia 50,000 acres were
planted with cotton in 1863, and about 140,000 acres in 1864 ;
that in the former year 8,000 cwt of exotic seed, chiefly Ame-
rican, had been used, and that this year 40,000 cwt, all Ame-
rican, have been sown. The crop, which amounted to 90,000
cwt in 1863, is expected to yield 350,000 owt this year,
As a proof of the energetic measures for the destruction of
locusts taken by Akif „Pacho, the Governor-General of
Salonica, who offered a reward of a few piastres for every
oke of locusts collected, and visited in person the localities
most subject to their ravages, it is stated that as many as
1,600,0001 b weight of locusts were brought to Salonica and
paid for. At the time they were collected they were so
small that as many
as 5,200 of them only weighed one
pound, showing how vast an amount of mischief has
thus been prevented. This was not effected without con-
siderable difficulty, arising chiefly from the prejudices
of the rural population who consider it a sin to de-
stroy locusts. The returns supplied by the vice-consul
_ of Larissa and Volo show that in Thessaly 6,500 acres
were planted with cotton in 1863, and about 25,030 acres in
_ 1864; that 7,2501 b of American seed have been used this
year, being four times the quantity sown the previous
year, and that the produce, which in
1863 was 55,0001 b,
will, it is estimated, amount to betwoell £1,650,000 and
£2,750,0001b this year. The crop of the last two years has
been shipped from Volo to Marseilles by French steamers.
The expected cession of Government waste lands rent free,
and the suspension for a term of
years of the levy of
tithes, have not been realised. The system of farming
and selling the tithes of the whole province to the highest
bidders, who in their turn refarm and resell at a profit to
other speculators the subdivisional portions of tho several
districts, remains unaltered, and is said to be productive of
infinite abuses, injustice, and vexation to the trader as well
as to the grower. The want of roads is a great inconve-
nience, and adds considerably to the cost of transport.
The crops everywhere present a most promising appearance.
The cultivation of cotton in the pashalik of Smyrna has
increased from 29,000 acres in 1863 to 63,750 acres in
1864, and the produce which in the former year, ex-
clusive So., was 43,000 bales, is expected to
reach of Adana,thisyearlo,ooo bales, or 303,000 cwts. In many loca-

three times; later on the plant was attacked by a small Cleo-
patra grub, which injured the first shoots, but as the plant
had time to make fresh and more numerous shoots, it is
supposed that the crop has been much improved by this
novel method of heading. It is generally expected that the
cotton ground will be much extended next spring, in the
district of Adrianople, the vice-consul reports that the pro-
duce per acre is 300 to 3201 b, and in the districts of Uzun-
kiupru and Dimotica, 4201 b to 4351 b ; that cotton is

urgently required. In Elia, in
_the Mores, 250 acres were
planted with cotton in 1863, and 875 acres in 1864 ; a small
quantity of American seed has been used, and an increase
of produce from 50,0001 b. in t eformer year to 200,0001 b.
in the latter is expected. The cultivation being poor,
pecuniary advances and assistance in procuring seed and
machinery are needed. In Messenia and Laconia, in the
Mores, the Vice Consul reports that 2,500 acres were
planted with cotton in 1863, and 3,000 acres in 1864, and
that the produce, which in the
former year was 550,0001 b.,
is expected this year 825,0001 b. Whilst high prices con-
tinue, an increased production of cotton may be expected.
