This bankrupt was a warehouseman in the city, and his
release was opposed on the ground that he was connected
with a person named Edwards, and gave him a reconamen •
dation, on which he obtained goods, which soon afterwards
found their way to Barton's sale rooms.
His Honour said he would not interfere until after the
meeting for choice of assignees.

THE HIGHLAND SOCIETY

A general court of the Highland Society Was
held yesterday, followed by an excellent dinner, at

he Freemason's Tavern to celebrate, nccording to

usual custom, the victory of Alexandria. Nearly a
hundred gentlemen sat down to dinner. The ban-
ners of the principal clans were hung round the
room, and these, combined with the Highland
dresses of many of the company, gave a lively and
agreeable appearance to the banqueting hall. In
the absence of the Duke of Manchester, the chair
was taken by Mr. Malcolm of Poltalloch, and he
was supported by Sir John Heron r%laxwell, Colonel
Sykes, M.P., Captain Forbes, R.N., Captain
Speke, Captain Forbes, 78th Highlanders,
Captain Sir A. Mackenzie, Mr. J. C.
Goode, Sir Stuart Donaldson, Mr. Biggs,
Captain Jay, R.N., Captain Browne, Captain
Maxwell, Captain Mackenzie, Major Maclay, Mr.
Carlisle, Mr. March, Dr. Halley, Dr. Cumming,
Mr. G. Bain, &c.

" The Health of her Majesty " was drunk with
the most lively demonstrations of loyalty; and the
toast of the Prince of \Vales (Duke of Rothsay and
Lord of the Isles), the Princess of Wales,
the Prince Albert Victor of -Wales, and
the rest of the Royal Family," was received with
great cheering. The toast of " The Army and Navy,
and Volunteers," was responded to by Colonel
Sykes, M.P., Captain Forbes, R,N., and Captain
Mackenzie (London Scottish Volunteers). " The
Health of the Duke of Manchester, President of the
Highland Society," was drunk with Highland
honours. The toast of " The Memory of Aber-
cromby and the heroes who fell with him in Egypt,"
was prefaced with a deserved eulegium on the
valuur of the gallant general and the Highland
troops under his command. The other teas' s pro-
posed were—" The Chiefs and Clans ;" "The Ladies
who have honoured us with their presence ;"
" Highlands, shoulder to shoulder ; " " The Sword
and Banner ;" and "The Pipe, and Plaid." Each
and all of these toasts were drunk with great en-
thusiasm and a most lively display of netional

feeling.
During the evening the Queen's piper marched
round the room, and performed on the bagpipe a
number of Scottish airs. The dinner was admirably
served, and the wines were excellent in quality.

THAMES.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON ♦ WIFE.--A FORGIVING
WOMAN.—John Buttormure, an Irish labourer, was
brought before Mr. Partridge, on remand, charged with
violently assaulting his wife Ann.

The wife's lace was terribly bruised, and her eyes were
blackened. She stated on the first examination on Satur-
day that her husband never beat her at all, that she got
drunk and fell on the fender and cut her face. He was a
good husband, as good a man as ever lived. It was all her
own fault. Her husband earned money. Gave it to her,
and she made away with it in drink. She implored of the
magistrate to release her husband. She made a false charge
against her husband.

Mr. Partridge—l shall not release him until the case is
investigated. _ _ _

A police-constable, No. 6 H, said that he was called into
a house in Three Compass-court, Whitechapd. The wise
was bleeding front the nose and mouth, and she was ter-
ribly bruised. She said her husband had beaten her, and
he did not deny it.

The wife—Cleh, yer honner's wortchip, he did not bate
me at all.
The prisoner said his wife had been continually drunk
since Christmas-day.

Roche, the gaoler of the Court, said the prisoner was a
sober, hardworking man, and his wife was not only a
drunken woman, but a very dishonest woman, for she had
been in custody for felony, and convicted.

The wife—That is all true; he earns 3s Gd and 4s per
day, yer huiner's wortchip, and he gives it me, and I get
stone-blind drunk with the money. I hurted myself, yer
homier.

Mr. Partridge said he did not believe the woman inflicted
the injuries on herself, and remanded the prisoner for the
attendance of the officer who took the charge.
This morning Sergeant Williams, No. 12 H, attended,
and, after the Eight charges were disposed of, the prisoner
was again arraigned in the dock, and Williams stated that
the prisoner was charged by his wife with beating and kick-
ing her. She also said he came home intoxicated, that she
was in bed with her two children, and that ho dragged her
out of bed and beat her. She also said she was fearful he
would murder her, and that she was in danger of her life.
Thu prisoner said that what his wife had stated was quite
right.
Mr. Partridge had no doubt of the correctness of Roche's
statement, and he bad no doubt the prisoner beat his wife
in a very savage manner. The wile wes a very dissipated
woman, hut title was nor to be killed by her husband. The
woman had some good reeling about her, by endeavouring
to save her husband from punishment. He could not,
however, listen to her entreaties. The prisoner must be
punished for the aggravated assault to committed on his
wife. He sentenced him to be imprisoned for three months,
and kept to hard labour.

ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

It appears that the scientific committee appointed to
consider the best form of cable for submersion between
Europe and America have recommended the one prepared
by Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co., No. 46. The conductor
consists of a copper strand of seven wires (six laid round
one), each wire gauging 0.144 of an inch, and the centre
strand 0.444 of an inch, and weighing 3001 b per nautical
mile, embedded for solidity in Chatterton's compound.
The conductor of the old cable of 1858 consisted of six
wires laid round one, being about half the gauge of the
new one, and weighing only 1071 b per nautical mile.
The insulator of the new cable is to consist of gutta
percha, in four layers, between each of which is to be a
thin layer of Chatterton's compound, making a diameter
of the core of 0-164 of an inch, weighing 4001 b per nautical
mile. The insulator of the old cable was formed of three
layers, and weighed 2611 b per nautical mile. The external
protection of the new cable is in two parts—first, the core
is surrounded with a padding of soft jute yarn, saturated
with a preservative mixture ; next this padding is the pro-
tective covering, which consists of ten solid wires of the
gauge 0.095 of an inch, drawn from homogeneous iron, each
wire being surrounded separately with five strands of
Manilla yarn. The whole of the ten strands thus formed
of the hemp and iron are to be laid spirally round the
padded core. The external protection of the old cable con-
sisted of 18 strands of charcoal iron wire (each strand was
composed of seven thin wires), laid spirally round the core,
which latter was previously padded with hemp saturated
with a tar mixture. Each wire strand was of No. 14 gauge,
and entirely unprotected from the action of the sea water.
The weight of the new cable is to be 354 cwt per nautical
mile, while that of the old one was 20cwt. The breaking
stain of the new cable 7 tons, and of the old cable 3i tons.
The strength of the new cable is to be equal to 4.64 times
its own vertical weight in the deepest water (2,430 fathoms),
while that of the old cable was only 2.05 times the strength
requisite for the deepest water. The scientifi3 committee
recommend various precautions to be adopted for testing
the core, the joints, and other parts of the cable during its
manufacture and when completed, so as to insure, if pos-
sible, the utmost success.

KAYE'S WORSDELL'S PlLLS.—These Pills
are a purely ve,retable preparation, and may be taken
nt any time by either sex without fear or danger. They act
upon the bowels mildly yet effectually, and by their floe tonic,
aromatic, and aperient properties, they remo. e all oppressive
accumulations, regulate the secretions of the liver and bowels,
strengthen the stomach, and purify the blood. Unlike many
remedies, they do not induce liability to take cold or esta-
blish a necessity for the habittra use of purgatives, and are
thus strongly recommended as the BEaT FAMILY

ROYAL CALEDONIAN ASYLUM,

The annual meeting of the governors and guar.
dians of this charity was held yesterday at the
Scottish Hospital, Crane-court, Fleet-street—Sir
George Clerk in the chair.

Mr. DANIELLS, the secretary, read the report,
which stated that the charity was in a sound and
prosperous condition, but that the constantly in-
creasing numbers of deserving candidates for ad-
mission into the asylum rendered it important that
there should be a large accession to its funds. Dur-
ing the past year 111 children had been maintained
and educated in the asyium, and at the election in
June next five boys and four girls would be elected
from a list of 23 approved candidates. Tae annual
subscriptions for the past year had been £65 in
excess over those of the previous year, alai
£7OO had been invested from the flailing balance at
he bank, making the total tam now invested
£20,000. The donatians at the la:st anniversary
dinner had amounted to about £l,OOO. Too report
concluded by expressing the desire of the committee
to admit a much large; number of children as soon
as the state of the funds would warraut such a
Course.

Tae CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, congratulated the meeting on the improved
condition of the charity within the last four years.
He was happy to be able to state that the Duke or
Argyll had consented to preside at the ensuing
annniversary in Juno next, and that the Caledonia❑
Bill in aid of the funds would also take place at
Willis's Rooms in the same month.

Sir. J. H. MAXWELL seconded the motion, which
was agreed to.

Sir G. Abetprornby, Sir James Mackenzie, Cap.
rain Conway, Dr, D:nry, and Messrs. Cargill, M.P.
Dundas, Grant, and GJerk, were elected on the
clmmittee, in place of the gight members retiring
by rotation,
The proceedings terminated with A vote of thanks
to the chairman.

A general court of the Highland Society was
held yesterday, followed by an excellent dinner, at
the Freemason's Tavern to celebrate, according to

LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 13, 1864.

The intelligence of the decision of the Chicago
Convention has been watched for with keen inte-
rest in this country. Speculations were rife as to
the name of the successful candidate, and the im-
portance which always attaches to the assembly at
),hicago Convention is this year doubled by the
vital interest attending the great question, Is it to
be peace or war ? The answer, according to Chicago,
is apparently to be peace, and it is no wonder that
the great nation, so long torn and distracted by in-
ternecine strife, should begin to weary of the :lopee
less conflict. Murmurs are heard on every hand,
while, plentiful as Mr. CHASE'S greenbacks may br,
they cannot compensate to those not directly profit-
ing by the war for the terribly high price of every
commodity of life. Civil liberty is virtually at an
end ; and the free-Spoken democrats of New York,
who carried their licence of speech and action of old
to somewhat unwarrantable lengths, now look suave
anti speak with a thought of Fort Lafayette.
Certainly the great Frenchman never expected
that his namesake would be put to such
unworthy uses by the inheritors of the hard-
won liberties of 1783. The wretchedness and desoe
lation that has been spread throughout the hones
of the States may be less apparent than the political
results of the war, but they are no leas to be counted
among its direful effects. The people have not ENE'
the glory of military successes to cheer them. As

826, last night, about 11 o'clock, saw the prisoners in the
Haymarket. They walked as far as Charing-Cross, and
stopped a gentleman and spoke to him. The gentleman
walked on, and the prisoner then went back to where Daw-
son first saw them, and afterwards to Regent-street, when
they stopped in front of the prosecutor, and asked him the
way to Soho-square. Dawson walked towards the pri-
soners when be saw the prosecutor seize them and call out
" Give me my watch—polico." Tho prisoner Steed having
while speaking to prosecutor drawn his watch out of his
pocket. Dawson then took Steed into custody, and Gavin
was taken by Shriver ; and while on the way to the station
Steed, by a sudden jerk, released himself from the hold of
Dodsworth, 338 A, to whom he had been given ov,r, and
s' ruck him several violent blows in the mouth with his fiat
evidently with the intention of making his escape.
Mr Tyrwhitt said ho should send the prisoners for trial,
and perhaps a bill might also be preferred against Steed for
the assault.

Steed, in a most impudent tone, said that perhaps he
should have to prefer is bill against the police.
Mr Tyrm hitt asked the prisoners whether they wished to
say anything ?
Steed replied " It ain't no use."
Mr Tyiwhitt committed the prisoners for trial.
Dawson said that Steed had undergone penal servitude
and was at large on a ticket-of-leave.

The prisoners, who are well dressei mon, are, from their
determined demeanour in court, evidently very dangerous

fellows.

ALLEGED EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A CONFIDENTIAL
SERVANT.—Reuben West, having the,management of the
business of Mr Edward Pratt, hatter, &c., of 37, Old Bond-
street, was charged before ➢lr Tyrwhitt with stealing 80
hats and 4 umbrellas of the value of £5O, the property of
his employer.
The evidence was far from perfect, and Mr Tyrwhitt re-
manded the prisoner for a week, and consented to take bail
for the prisoner's future attendance.

LIFE BRANCH.

The progress of the Life Branch, as shown by the New
Business transacted in the last year, is most promising, and
the advances made, year by year, in the amount of New In-
surances effected, show clearly the estimation in which the
Company is held. The following is a statement for the last
five years :
Net Sum Assured on New Policies
after deducting Guarantees. Net Premiums.
1859
1860
1851
1852
1863 .. 752,516 18 10
This rapid growth, amounting to 73 per cent. on the Sum
Assured, and upwards of 80 per cent. on the Premium re-
ceived in the course of five years, may justly be considered as
larger than any which could have been reasonably exr ected.
The first half of the current year 1864, however, far outstrips
the ratio of increase indicated by the figures ju.t quoted, as
the sum assured for that period of six months only actually
exceeds Half-a-Mil ion sterling.
The rate of Mortality, likewise, still presents highly favour-
able features, and augurs well for the result to be shown by
tle quinquennial investigation, which is to take place when
the present year is ooncluthd.

ATTEMPTED lIOI7BE ROBBER' EY A TICKET OP
LEAVE MAN IN SIIADWELL.—John Wilson, a ticket of
leave man, was charged before Mr Paget with entering the
house No. 52, lEol.st:cot, for the purpose of committing
a robbery.
Sergeant Cox, K 46, stated that yesterday evening, in
consequence of information, he went to the house in ques-
tion, Kith another constable. Whe❑ he got in he saw the
prisoner, who instantly ti lid to conceal himself, Witness
at the same time saw another man, who, upon observing
witness, ran upstairs. He was followed by witness into a
room. When he got into it he jumped through a window
on to the roof of a shop, and then leaped off to the ground,
a depth of about 20 feet. Witness went after him through
the window, but no further. He then ran across a garden
and was attacked by a dog. He, however, got away. The
prisoner was taken into custody by another constable.
Police-constable 4SB A, who took him into custody, pro-
duced several skeleton keys, a jemmy, a pallet, which were
found on the prisoner.

Mr Paget asked if the prisoner was known, when the
constable stated that ho was a ticket-of.leave man, and that
ho had received siz years' penal am vitude, and had only
been out of prison two months. He believed it was the in-
tention of the prisoner to get into the rector's house, which
is adjoining.

The priSo nor:was sent for three months to the House of
Correction,
