CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COUR7:

(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSuN nud Mr. Juatica WIGHT
MAN)

MURDER..—Guiseppe lienwrino, an Italian, aged 20,
described as a sailor, and Emanuel Ant°la, another
Italian, aged 22, also described us a sailc• were indicted
for the wilful murder of llamas Marley.
• Mr. Bodkin, with whom was Mr. Clarke, conducted the
• prosecution; tied Mr. Parry appeared for the defence.
It appeared from the opening statement of the Learned
Counsel for the prosecution, that some few weeks ago,
on a Sunday night, the 30th of May, the two prisoners
and the deceased were at the Three Crowns public-
.house, in East Smithfield, near the docks, and while
they were there the deceased accidentally upset some
liquor, but he retired in ordei that . there should
be no disturbance, as the two prisoners
seemed disposed to quarrel with him. He
therefore repaired. to the One Crown public-house,
• which stands at the corner of One Bear-alley, it pi aea of
a very low description, and occupied by neforiously-bad
characters. Thither the two prisoners followed him,
and some women coming upon the scene a row ensuiel in
consequence of one of the prisoners having threatened
to spit in the face of a female cohabiting
with 'a men named Tenison. Tenisois, however,

who was drunk, was bodily carried into the
• street by a friend named Connelly, assisted by
the deceased. The prisoners were soon afterwards
aeon in the street, and another disturbance takicer
place, the police came up and drove them
away. It was late at night, but, in,vertheless,
• after the police had disappeared Tenison returned to the
court and joined the prisoners again. They renewed
the previous quarrel, and Connelly once more interfered
to get him away, but the prisoner Antole, who had
armed himself with a poker, felled him to the ground,
as he was in the set of taking Tenisen with both arms
round the waist. The deceased, Marley, who
witnessed the terrible assault, rushed upon An-
tole, to prevent his repeatieg, the blow, and
while he was restraining him the other pri-
soner, Remorino, advanced to the spot, when Antola
handed him a huge clasp-knife, which Remorino opened
and deliberately stabbed the deceased in the lower part
of the abdomen. The prisoner then decamped, while
the deceased fell senseless to the ground. He was,
, however, taken up by some of his companions, and as
he was found to be dreadfully bleeding from the wound
which the knife had inflicted, he was conveyed to the
London Hospital, where he lingered for a few hours in
great agony and then died. It would seem that
all the parties were drunk at die time of
the occurrence, and in the early part of the
night the deceased and one of the prisoners had
a stand. up fight about some drink which had been given
to a prostitute, and in the course of the encounter the
prisoner received a severe punishment and a black eye.
Counsel having addressed the jury for the prisoners,
The Learned JUDGE summed up, when
The jury, after deliberating for a short time, retired
and returned into coast with a verdict of Manslaughter
against both prisoners.
,7;;The COURT then sentenced them to two years' impri-
sonment with hard labour.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
NORFOLK. _

A special meeting or aTe shareholders of the above
company was held yesterday at the offices, Guildhall--
buildings, for the purpose of considering the expediency
of creating debenture or preference shares under the pro-
visions of the Act of Parliament passed iu the present
session, and to create such shares, or such number
thereof, as might be deemed expedient, and on such
terms as might be determined at such meeting. Mr. S.
M. Peto, M.P., was in the chair.
The notice by which the meeting had been convened
having been read by the Secretary,
The CHAIRMAN said—You may naturally suppose
that to a matter of the kind to which the advertisement
calling this meeting refers—one so seriously involving
your interests in perpetuity—your directors have
given their most serious consideration. Although
they see their way perfectly clearly to the
course of action brought under your notice, they
have been induced, from having the pleasure of recog-
nising amongst the names of their shareholders those of
gentlemen eminently qualified to give the, best practical
advice on the subject, to come to the determination of
suggesting to you to appoint a committee of consultation,
with a view of adjourning this meeting to the 28th inst.,
and I would therefore profose," That the following pro-
prietors be requested to act as a committee to confer
ith the directors as to the terms on which the prefer-
ence or debenture shares to be created under the pro-
visions of the recent Act •• of Parliament shall
-be issued, and to report thereon, in conjunction
with the directors, to an adjourned meeting:—
J. D. Bassett, Esq., D. B. Chapman, Esq., W. M.
Coulthurst, bir J. W. Hong, Bart., Joseph Lie.
rence, Esq., E. W. Mills Esq, Francis Mills, Esq.,
John Norbury, W. IL C. Plowden, Esq., M.P.
and est. A. do Rothschild." These gentlemen are all
large proprietors, and it appears to your directors a very
wise and desirable thing that they should be associated
with them in considering a question which so materially
affects your interests as the creation of debenture shares
in perpetuity to supersede the debenture capital. I am
the more induced to suggest this course iu consequence
having received letters from proprietors, no two of whom
'appear to take similar views as to what should be (Julie,
and also from the fact that as chairman of the Chester
and Holyhead Railway I have found no difficulty in re-
newing at 3} per cent. 147,0001. of the debentures of
that company. Ile then formally moved the resolution
as given above.
Mr. A. BARBER seconded the resolution, which was
carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN then moved the adjournment of the
• meeting to the 28th inst.
The motion having been seconded,
Tne CHAIRMAN said he would, before the resolution
Was put to the meeting, take the opportunity of Us-
serving (as he tied received letters from shareholders
• respecting the matter), that the order of preference
Shares would be the same as settled in the Act of Parlia-
ment—viz, the first steer the debenture shares to be
• -created was the Lowestoft 4 per cent.; the, next, the 5
Per cent. extensions; then the si-; the 6 per cent.; and
Wavecey 5 per cents.
A PRoPRIETOR inquired the respective amounts of the
Preference capital.
The CHAIRMAN said it was as follows:
Lowestoft Four per Cent., 1845
Rive per Cent. Extension, 1846 300,000
I'ive per Cent. ... . . ... 105,000
Six per Cent. 120,000
Waveney Five per Cent. ... 36,980
. It was explained that the Act obtained by the company
during the present session converts the whoje of their
Preferende capital into prefsreece shares, which will, in
'fact, extinguish the debenture debt.
A PROPRIETOR requested to know when the bonds
fell in? - • .
The CHAIRMAN said they were as follows : •
Bonds due and falling due during present year £391.,250
In 1853 ••• ••• ..• ..• ..• 22,300

This motion for wThurnment to the 28th instant was
carried, and this meeting broke up.

WATERFORD AND KILKENNY.—The directors of this
line are using their best exertions to have it opened.
They have had many difficulties to overcome, but it• is
stated that the permanent way is being laid down be-
tween Jerpoint and Knockwilliam, and the progress
that has been made in the works between the latter
Place and Dankett during the last few weeks is ♦ery
great.

CoartwALL.--We understand that at a large meeting.
of the boat d, on Saturday last, which was attended by
the representatives of the Associated Companies, it was
olved to request Mr. Brunel to prepare his plans as
clu'ckly as possible, for the purpose of olitaininK wade, s
tor the construction of the bridge across the Tamar at
Saltaah.—Deronport Gazette.
TriE STOUR VALLEY.—It is gratifying to know
that this line is at length about to be opened, and
that the greatly desiderased accommodation of Wolver-
hampton and the district is about to be afforded. In
vain have meetings been held and reports published, de-
putations been sent to the Board of Trade, and speeches
been made, for all failed alike to bring the directors of
the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Companies to their
senses, and induce them to allow the Stour Valley to be
Opened; but the moment two plain, honest, common
sense, business men, like Messrs. Glyn and Clive, met
together, the matter which presented such difficulties be-
fore became simple end easy, and the whole affair was
settled in the twinkling of a gnat's eye.— Wolverhampton
