EASTERN BENGAL.

A special general meeting of this company was held on
Saturday at the office, Gresham-street, to consider whether
they should accept or decline the proposal of the Secretary
of State for India to construct an extension line as tar as
Jamoona, as part and parcel of the original line, under a
guarantee of 41 per cent. per annum on the necessary capi-
tal ; Mr. J. F. Leith in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN explained that the directors had offered
to give the facilities of the Bengal Company in carrying out
the extension by a separate company, but with the view of
working the two lines ultimately together, but on the dis
tinct understanding that the capital of the new line should
be kept distinct, and the dividend distinct. This offer was
subsequently declined by the Secretary of State for India,
who insisted that the new line should form a part and parcel
Of the original undertaking. The traffic on the original line
from Jan. 10 to the end of June amounted to 332,548r5.
The weekly returns now averaged about 20,400 re, and when
they reached 25,000 rs ho believed the 5 per cent. guarantee
would be covered.
After some observations by Mr. Morgan, Mr. P aul, and
other shareholders, resolutions were passed to the effect that
the meeting declined to accept the offer of the Secretary of
State for India to carry out the extension to the Jamoona
on the guarantee of 41 per cent. "as part and parcel of the
original undertaking, and not separated ;" and authorising
the board to negotiate with the Secretary of State for India
for the proposed extension to the Jamoona, provided it be
carried out as a distinct and separate undertaking.
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the
chairman and directors.

ANOTHER MURDER IN BIRMINGHAM.

A murder was committed yesterday morning, in a court
called Trafalgar-place, in Bissell-street, Birmingham,
within a stone's throw of the spot where Alice Hinckley
was murdered by her lover, in December last. Amongst
the occupants of the court were a man named George Hig-
nett, a workman in a tobacco manufactory, and Thomas
Jefferson, a man 32 years of age, who was employed as a
brassfounder. Both men were considered respectable, and
been on friendly terms until a few weeks back, when they
quarrelled in their cups, and Hignett, as a means of re-
venging himself to some extent, and humbling Jefferson in
the sight of his neighbours, told them that he had been pay.
ing for Jefferson's beer for some time. This annoyed him,
and a quarrel ensued, which quarrel Hignett, who knew his
immense physical power, offered to settle by an appeal to
blows, which Jefferson declined. Matters went on thus
until Saturday evening, when, at about half-past 12 o'clock,
Hignett and his wife, who had only returned to him a week
after a long absence, commenced another quarrel, blows
being freely struck. The people in the court, aroused by
the disturbance, rose from their beds and came down to the
yard, where, attracted by the noise, a large number of per-
sons had assembled, Jefferson being amongst the number.
Several remonstrated with Hignett upon the cruelty of his
conduct, and Jefferson, with the old quarrel no doubt still
rankling in his mind, told him not to hit his wife and chil-
dren, but to come into the yard like a man and fight him
(Jefferson). To this Hignett seems to have vouchsafed no
reply beyond a warning that if Jefferson came into his yard
he would " make it warm for him," or words to that effect.
Jefferson disregarded this threat, and, wishing to defend
Mrs. Hignett and wipe off the fancied insult to himself,
at the same time insisted, in spite of remonstrances, on
going within the paling. Ho had no sooner done this
than Hignett, who had retired to his house, came out,
and was seen by several persons to strike savagely at him
with some weapon, which he had brought from the house,
The first blow was across the shoulders, and the second,
which caught him on the back of the head, caused
him to fall heavily to the ground. When Hignett saw the
extent of the injury which he had committed, he retired
into this house, and locked the door. Several people went
into the yard and raised the wounded man, who was bleeding
fearfully, from the ground, whilst others went in search of
the police. The man was taken to the hospital, but in spite
of all exertions ho sank and died from his injuries shortly
after raid-day. Hignett was apprehended, and bail for his
appearance was tendered at Bradford-street, but was re-
cused.—Birmingham Post.

Colonel M‘Murdo on Volunteer Discipline.

On Saturday Col. M'Murdo inspected the St.
George's Rifles in High Park, and at the close, in
the course of a very complimentary speech, he re-
marked on the subject of Volunteer discipline, in
connection with which he took occasion to refer to
the recent accident at a Volunteer review in Devon-
shire. He said :
" I will tell you what happened at Haldon, in
Devonshire, the day before yesterday. I saw
nearly 3,000 men of all arms pass me. As they
were wheeling at the moment of marching past
the grand stand, on which were seated some 200
of their dearest relatives and friends, gave way
with a terrible crash. Those dear friends
were, I myself thought, precipitated into eter-
nity. Men of St. George's, what was the effect
of discipline on those 3,000 Devonshire Volunteers
who were then being inspected ? At that awful
moment not a man moved out of his rank. Although
the hearts of those brave men must have sunk
within them at the thought of some near relative or
friend being crushed to death, like good soldiers
they kept their ranks, trusting their commanding
officers would do all that was possible for the relief
of these so dear to them. (Much applause.) They
knew the best way of rendering assistance was by
remaining firm, and being employed under the
direction of the commanding officer. I ordered a

Not a sound was to be heard amongst them. (Great

on. I therefore
say it is most creditable to the volunteers that,
when tried under such painful ci •
rcumstances as
those, they showed the good effects of their ' d. •
isci-
pline. (Hear, hear.) But there
is another trial
that may come by and by ; I
mean that time
when the volunteers are
brought
in front of an
enemy. It is almost like child's play now com-
pared with the realities of that time when you
would be going into action. But a
man in judici-
ously rearing his children teaches them so that they
may be best prepared for the stern experiences
f
after-life. I tell you this: if ever you are o
brought
in face of an enemy, and you see your dear friends
falling around, and your hearts prompt you to fall
out of the ranks to help them, don't do it. Never
forsake your own post. Let the man lie where he
falls. You must stand to the point in which you
are placed, so that you may achieve the object for
which you are there—victory for your glorious
country. (Applause.) And when victory is secure
it will enable those who are specially appointed to

render the greatest service to those who have been
wounded. Your gallant officers who have medals
on their breasts--(cheers)—can bear me out in say.

magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.

Butcher, 137 C, deposed that about a quarter to seven
that morning he was in Princes-street, Regent street, with
Dawson, 301 A, when he saw Sanders open the shop door
of Mr. Cox and beckon Goodman in. Goodman went in
and remained about five minutes, and on coming out
he (Butcher) noticed chat he had something very heavy in
his pockets, and followed him to 25, Union. street, Middle •
sex Hospital, and on following him into the house, and
elling him he was a police-officer, and asking him what
he had in his pockets, he replied " That's my business,"
and walked upstairs. He (Butcher) followed him up, and
on looking in his (Goodman's) coat pockets (most extensive
ones) he found a large quantity of fat, and 311 searching the
room he found a large quantity of fat similar to that con-
tained in the pockets, and a piece of salt beef 221bs. in weight,
and on a further search he found secreted under a crinoline
a quantity of mutton. Goodman said the meat had been
brought to his house the previous evening by a man named
White, afterwards said the fat Lund in his pockets was
from Mr. Cox's. _ _

Mr, Knox inqured the value of the fat produced, and was
informed it was worth 34d a pound. _

Dawson, 301 A, said that on asking Sanders what the
other prisoner was doing in the shop, he said that he came
to speak to him about a horse he backed the previous day,
and that whatever he had in his pockets when he came into
the shop he took away with him. He said that he had
given Goodman no fat, although he (Dawson) had said
nothing about fat.
Mr. Benjamin Cox, an invalid, said that in consequence
of being laid up with an injured arm: he could not identify
the whole of the property, but could the beef. It had been
going on while the foreman was at market.
Mr. Knox said it was a serious matter, a case for trial,
and he should remand the prisoner.
The prisoner applied to be admitted to bail, but Mr. Knox
said he should distinctly refuse it.
Mr. Cox said he had no doubt ho had been robbed to a
large extent.
