NBNV QUAY AND CORNWALL JUNCTIOX.

The first ordinary meeting of this company was held on
Friday at St. Austell—Mr E. Willyams occupied the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said it was calculated that something
over £10,500 had been already subscribed, and at the next
meeting of the directors ho should propose that a portion of
the road be staked out and a contract invited. With respect
to the prospects of the undertaking he said that between
60,000 and 70,000 tons of china, china clay, and other ma.
terials were annually carried in carts over the course the
new line would take, It now cost from 2s 6d to 3s a ton to
convey these matters to Aurngullow, the point of junction
with the Cornwall line. When the new lino was made they
would be enabled to carry for about Is per ton. He argued
therefore that if they could carry7o,olo tons yearly at is per
ton the proceeds would be £3,500, and allowing 50 per cent
for working expenses £1,750 would remain for dividend. To
that would have to be added the receipts from passenger
traffic, and also from coal, lime, and timber. The landowners
and merchants were now called upon to complete the capi-
tal without delay.
The report was adopted, and the proceedings concluded
vith a vote of thanks to the chairman,

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris ls about 21 per mine pm., and
the short exchange on London ir t. 30 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the ;',;;list' Mint price of X.,
17s. 10/d. per ounce for standard gold, it appes.re that gold is
nearly 3-ICths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark
and the short exchang on London. is 13.51 per £1 stall ti-;
standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
3-10ths per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills et
0 days' sight is about 2St per cent., and the premium on
gold is 157 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the
importation of gold fro tilt United StAm

DISGRACEFUL STATEMENT 'UPON °ATM—Charlotte
Moody was placed at the bar charged with feloniously
assaulting and wounding Margaret Hartwell by striking
her on the head with a jug.

Complainant said that she was in the neighbourhood of
Peter-street, Westminster, last night, when she saw the
prisoner and her brother-in-law quarrelling, and separated
them. In an hour or more after this the prisoner came and
struck her on the head with a jug, and she became sense-
less from the effects of the wound.
Mr Arnold—What made her do this ?
Prosecutrix—l am sure I can't tell at all.
Mr. Arnold—Had you not said or done something to
provoke her ?
Prosecutrix—Nothing ; I never spoke to her, good or
bad.

Mr Arn,Ad—Then there was no reason whatever for her
doing it?

Prosecutriz—Not the least.
Mr Arnold—Was she sober ?

Prosecutrix—l can't tell.

Police constable Feshlay, 112 B, said that at half past 10
last night he saw a crowd of people in St. Peter-street, and
found the prosecutris attacking the prisoner. The prisoner
wanted her to go away, but the prosecutor challenged her
to fight. Prisoner refused, and the prosecutrix then went
into a public house and remained a few minutes. When
she came out she rushed upon the prisoner, seized her by
the hair of the head, and began striking her. Witness did
not see prosecutrix receive the blow with the jug, as they
were surrounded before witness got up. Witness had pro-
secutor's wound dressed at the hospital.

Mr Arnold said that prosecutrixhad deceived him by the
grossest falsehoods, and he should merely require the' pri-
soner to enter into a £5 recogninee to keep the peace.

ONz O'CLOCK CLOSING.—James Falcher, a tall and
powerful man, was brought before Mr Pagot charged with
violently assaulting Mr Speck, the landlord of the Three
Mariners public-house, Itopemaker's-fields, Limehouse.
It appeared that shortly before 1 o'clock this morning
the prisoner called at the Three Mariners, and was supplied,
but reluctantly, with a half pint of porter, to which another
customer added a glass of ale. Mr Speck requested the
prisoner to drink his beverage and depart at once, as the law
required him to close his house at one o'clock, and he
wished to obey the law. The prisoner said he did not care
for the law, and swore and raved loudly. Ile called
Mr Speck by the most vile names, and when the land-
lord attempted to put him out of the house he made a
furious attack upon him, tore his shirt off his back, struck
him on the eye, and knocked him duwn. Speck was seri•
ously injured, and his trousers were split. Mr. Speck then
got rid of the fellow, and closed his house. The landlord
and his wife were in their bedroom, about to go to bed,
when the prisoner returned, and, to use Mr. Speck's lan-
guage, "assaulted the house." Mrs. Speck looked out of
the window and expostulated with the prisoner, who used
the most filthy language towards her. A constable named
Hackstep, No. 293 K, arrived and took the prisoner into
custody, Mr. Speck added that he wished to observe the
law and close precisely at one o'clock, but unless protected
by the law he could not do so.
Mr Paget—You are quite right; I am glad there is such
prompt obedience to the law.
The evidence of Mr Speck was fully confirmed by Mrs
Susannah Bell, a neighbour.
The prisoner—l have nothing to say.
Mr Paget said there had not been a single case of viola-

Hon of the new law in the district since the passing of the
Act of Parliament closing the public houses and refreshment
rooms from Ito 4 o'clock. The assault was a most savage
one, and he sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprison-
ment and hard labour in the House of Correction.

The Wife Murder atSheffield.

Iteating.)
LEEDS TOWN BALL.
Yesterday Jo(sßeepfhorMe I%yierrsj,utasbtilcee-knife grinder, was placed
at the bar charged with the murder of his wife. Nancy
) breathed heavily, and
slight cough. In a weak voice he pleaded
not guilty to the indictment,
sMuyffeerrse. d H
frome wasa evidently very weak

Mr Blackburn stated the case. The prisoner had been
married for some years to Nancy Myers, and they lived
together at Sheffield. He was about
4' years of age, and
at the time of her death the deceased Was about 44. They
had several children, but at the period in question only two
of them resided with them. Ott the 10th of June, about 9
o'clock, the deceased went down stair., dressed, with the
exception of one boot. Shorly afterwards her husband went
down with the boot in his hand, and threw it at her feet.
The deceased made use of an expression to the effect that if
he did not like it he might put the boot down his throat,and
this appeared to be the only angry expression made use of
by her. Nothing further was then said, and the prisoner
went out. Presently afterwards Mrs. Myers went out, but
ultimately returned to her own house, and was seen by a
neighbour stooping down by the staircase leading from the
house part up to the chamber. The next thing was that the
prisoner was seen to go into the house and to stab his wife
suddenly and rapidly two or three tiros. The poor woman
was on the ground, but she jumped up, and a woman named
Hoole, attracted by the cries and the mufti), observed that
the deceased was bleeding from the throat and face, and
that the prisoner was cutting his (ran throat with a table
knife. The deceased was taken by Mrs Hoole to the house
of Mrs Marshall, but died in a few minutes.
After the examination of a number )f witnesses,
Mr Middleton addressed the jury fo- the prisoner.
His Lordship summed up the evidence, and the jury con•
suited together for about three minutes, and then found the
prisoner guilty of murder.
His Lordship passed sentence in a nest impressive man-
ner, and the prisoner was removed, aparently little affected
by his awful position.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2i per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.30 par £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Hint price of £3
17s. 10Id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 3-lithe per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark
and the short exchang on London is 13.5: per £1 sttrlin4.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
3-10ths per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 28L per cent., and the premium on
gold is 157 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the
importiiticin of gold fro tlw United States,';

NORTH DEVON.

The directors' report states that the available braance on
revenue account of £2,776 enabled them to recommend the
payment of a dividend at the rate of 168 per cent per
annum on the ordinary stock, at the rate of 18s per cent per
annum on the A stock, and at the rate of £3 12s per cent
per annum on the B stock (tree of income tax), being the
same as that declared for the previous half-year. The
amalgamation of this company with the Londcn and South
Western Railway Company in pursuance of the provisions
contained in the act would take effect on Jan. 1 next, when
the proprietors would be entitled to receive the ordinary
stock of that company in exchange for the several denomi-
nations of stock of the North Devon Railway Company in
the following proportions—viz., £l9 12s South Western
stock for every £lOO North Devon A stock ; £9B South

The Lord Warden target, which recently underwent such
a severe battering during the late trials of ordnance at
Shocburyness, was landed at the Anchor-wharf, Chatham.
Dockyard, yesterday tram the naval transport Dove. Since
the trials the target has been taken to pieces by a party of
mechanics sent from the dockyard, and the two C.-inch
iron plates as well as the inch and a half inner plates
and the teak backing have all been returned to the yard.
A. careful examination of the armour plates was made by
the officials of the department yesterday, in order to as-
certain the quality of the iron of which they are formed,
upwards of 1,000 tons of exactly the same kind of plates
having been received at the dockyard to be bolted to the
aides of the Lord Warden and the Bellerophon iron-clad
frigates now in progress.
The plates, as they now lie on
the wharf, exhibit the extraordinary effects of the shot and
shell upon each. Twenty shots appear to have struck the
two plates, one of thorn receiving eleven of that number.
Of these, eight appear to have passed completely through
the target, the remaining three causing only indentations.
It is, however with the quality of the iron that the offf-
cials are more particularly concerned, and in both
plates, which were taken promiscuously from a stack f
smeviiewraaliihulnrdonredcs
Company's
pthaneys:tomvire doerksscr:ption, sent in frcm th
the
iron was found
to be as nearly as possible perfect in quality, whierh
proves in a marked degree the rapid advance made by
our principal iron companies during the last few years in
producing serviceable plates, As already observed, the plate
to which most attention was directed yesterday received no
less than 11 shots, nearly all of which passed completely
through it. Notwithstanding the concussion to which tb
plate mast have been subjected not a crack beyond a coup le
of inches. and that close to the apertures made by the shot,
Can be detected throughout- its- surfeeer-wlsde-the eleser

usually excellent quality. The plates were of rolled. ron,
and for some distance along the edges of each the tine]; mess
of the various folds of metal can be easily determine 3d by
openings of greater or less extent. It is as yet undecided
what course will be adopted with the damaged plates., there
being no machinery at Chatham dockyard with whica they
can be manufactured.

The Arethnsa, 35, 500 horse power, Mr V. F. Johnson,
master in charge, attached to the steam reserve in the Med-
way, is ordered to be taken into No. 3 dock at Chatham, in
order to be brought forward for commission.

The Amethyst, 26, attached to the sailing reserve aqua I-
ron in Chatham harbour, has been lent by the Admiralty to
the Atlantic Telegraph Company, to be vsed in shipping the
Atlantic cable on board the Great Eastern. The Iris, !2G,
which was originally lent for this service, was subsequers tly
found not to adapted for the duty.

THE WAR IN DENMARK.
The Earl of MALMESBURY, seeing the noble earl the
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in his place, begged
to ask him whether he had received any information touch-
ing a declaration that had been published at Berlin with
respect to Denmark. The noble earl then referred to a
statement on the subject, which appeared in the Morning
Post of that day.
Earl RUSSELL sail he was sorry the noble earl had
not given him notice of his intention, as it would have
enabled him to answer him more correctly. What
was stated was, that the Commander-in-Chief of the Army
had no orders to send troops to Duppel, and it was not his
intention to do so; that afterwards, when the Danish troops
were on the frontier they took up a position on
their front, and the Prussians thought they were
then justified in crossing and occupying the
fort. No order had been given them to enter Jutland, and
the conduct of the officer who had ordered the troops
to do so had not been approved. With regard to
that part of the noble earl's question, based
upon the report in that morning's paper, what he
understood the Prime Minister to say was, the intention of
the German powers was to make the war local in order to
obtain what was called a material guarantee, but the
Danish Government in giving orders for the seizure
of Prussian and German ships had made the war general,
and that if those ships were seized, the Prussian Govern-
ment must demand compensation, net for the general ex-
penses of the war, but for the value of the cargoes of those
ships, and retain the material " guarantee" until the claim
was satisfied.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH asked if there had
been any communication from Austria, or whether the
matter was purely Prussian ?
Earl RUSSELL said it was entirely from Prussia. He
had not founded his remarks on anything like a despatch,
but was simply gathered from a conversation with a Prus-
sian Minister. Ho had reason to believe that the Austrian
Government would endeavour to moderate the action of
their Generals,

answer he had received on this subject last evening, he

country to interfere with the construction of a maritime
canal across the Isthmus of Suez by the French Govern-
ment.
