NORTH DEVON.

The report of the directors states that the provisions of
the Act passed in the last session authorising the amalga-
mation of the company with the London and South West-
ern Railway Company 'came into operation on the Ist of
January last; accordingly notices have been sent to the
registered shareholders for the conversion of their shares
into ordinary consolidated stock of the South-Western Com-
pany in the following proportions:—For every £lOO North
Devon ordinary stock, £49 of the South-Western ordinary
stock ; for every £lOO North Devon A stock, £l9 12s of the
South-Western ordinary stock ; and for every £lOO North
Devon B stock, £9B of the. south-Western ordinary stock.
The directors had been engaged in winding up the com-
pany's affairs, and there were now only a few outstanding
matters which would be settled as early as practicable,
when the company would cease to exist. The balance on
revenue account was £2,751, out of which provision must
be made for the necessary current expenses, and the re-
mainder would be distributed as final dividend to the pro-
prietors. A dividend at the rate of 13s. per cent. would
absorb £2,004, and leave £747 to meet various expenses.
The capital account showed that £503,995 had been ex-
pended, leaving a balance of £347 to meet costs relating to
land purchases.

LEEDS, NORTH YORKSHIRE, AND DURHAM.
A large and important meeting was held at Helmsley on
Tuesday, and a still larger meeting was held at Kirby-
Moorside on Wednesday, to further the views of the pro-
moters of this undertaking. At the Helmsley meeting Mr.
M'Laughlin (agent to Lord Feversham) presided, and at
the Kirby meeting the chair was taken by Mr. Jos. Smith.
Messrs. Featherstone, ,Phillips, Hall, and other speakers
dwelt upon the several advantages this line possesses over
the North-Eastern loop scheme, and resolutions were una-
nimously carried to the effect that every exertion should
be used to promote the formation of this line. Peg-anus to
Parliament were adopted in both cases, and signed by most
of the gentlemen present. It was also resolved that simi-
lar petitions should be laid for signature at all the towns
and villages on the route.

NORTH LONDON.

The report of the directors states that the traffic receipts
for the past half year amounted to £93,832, as compard
with £90,453 for the corresponding period of the previous
year, showing an increase of £3,379. The working expenses
for the same period were £51,331, as compared with £49,084.
The principal causes of increase in expenditure were repairs
and renewal of engines, carriages, and other rolling stock,
which amounted in all to £13,703, against £10,626 in 1863.
The interest on debentures, issued in respect of the City,
Extension, formed an additional charge of £3,062 on re-
venue, while the capital upon which dividend Itad to be
calculated was increased by the sum of £104,021; called up
during the past half year. The net balance to the credit

HER MAJESTY.

WINDSOR CASTLE, June 26.

The Queen, accompanied by her Royal Highness
Princess Louise, drove in the grounds yesterday

afternoon.
The Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, Sheriff
and Alderman Dakin, Sheriff and Alderman BesleY,
and the City Remembrancer Corry, had the honour
of an interview with her Majesty to take her Ma-
jesty's pleasure as to receiving the City address.
A deputation from the Lieutenancy of London,
consisting of Mr. Charles Reed, F.S.A., and Mr.
Thomas Parker, F.S.A., the mover and seconder of
the address from the Court of Lieutenancy, acconl- ,
panied by Mr. Henley Smith, clerk and treasurer,
had also the honour of an interview to take her
Majesty's pleasure as to receiving the address of the
Lieutenancy of London.
Her Majesty was graciously pleaed to fix three
o'clock on Wednesday for the reception of the ad-
dresses.

Cavendish were the lord and groom in waiting.

BANBURY.

The electors have had an interview with the Con-
servative candidate, Mr. Bell. In his address to
them he took credit for the Conservative party that
to them the country is mainly indebted for the mea-
sures which have passed in the reformed Parliaments
of the last 30 years. He treated the extension of the
suffrage as an uncalled-for measure, and stated that
any man might acquire the franchise if he desired.
He invited questions, but none of any importance
were put. His supporters gave him a hearty cheer,
which the Liberals met, though not in an uncour-
teous manner, with counter demonstrations.

one, and deserved the serious attention of the house,
and so the house considered. (Cheers.)
The uproar continued for some little time longer
in consequence of the gentleman desiring to speak
again and the meeting refusing to hear him; and
Mr Cox having answered various questions, a reso-
lution was proposed to the effect that the member's
past services and &traightforward address entitled
him to the support of electors, and that those present
pledged themselves to use their best exertions to in-
sure his return. _ _

This was carried amid loud applause, and the
meeting separated.

AYLESBURY..

The interest in the forthcoming Parliamentary
election for this borough is greatly on the increase,
and the aspect of affairs has somewhat suddenly
changed. The Conservatives had announced that
their two sitting members, Messrs. Bernard and
Smith, would again seek the suffrages of the elec-
tors ; but up to Saturday only Mr. Smith had issued
his address, Mr. Bernard, whose Parliamentary
career has obtained the respect of even both parties
of politicians, not having as yet stated officially his
intention to again come forward. This silence has
been, and still is, viewed by the Conservatives with
no small concern, and regarded by the Liberals
as a token of the hon. gentleman's intention to
retire into private life at the close of the
present Parliament, and the latter have been
entering into negotiations with a second Libe-
ral candidate to contest the Tory seats, in conjunc-
tion with Mr. Nathaniel M. de Rothschild. The
result of their deliberations will be made known in
a day or two.
London, England, 1865-06-27

FLINT SHIRE.

The present sitting Liberal members, Lord R.
Grosvenor (county) and Sir J. Hanmer (boroughs),
will be returned unopposed. An opposition was
spoken of respecting the boroughs, and it was said
that a Conservative county gentleman, already sit-
ting for an English borough, was to be brought
forward in opposition to Sir J. Hanmer.

CALNE.

The Right Hon. Robert Lowe has issued the fol-
lowing address :
" I venture to solicit at your hands a renewal of the trust
which you confided to me six years ago. The period which
has elapsed since the last general election has been upon
the whole a time of great material progress and domestic
tranquillity. Our material progress I attribute to our steady
adherence to and development of a sound financial and
commercial policy, to our abstinence from foreign wars,
and to the unwearied energy and growing intelligence of
the nation. Our tranquillity and content I attribute to a
well-founded conviction on the part of the people that jus-
tice is fairly administered, and the business of Government
and legislation conducted in a spirit of equity and impar-
tiality to all classes of the -community. So long as this
shall be the case, I see no great reason for great organic
changes in institutions which, though partaking largely of
the imperfection incident to all things human, and suscep-
tible, doubtless, of great improvements as our experience
widens and ripens, have combined order and liberty, sta-
bility and progress, in a greater degree than the institu-
tions of any other nttion. Any one who points out a prac-
tical evil in the working of our constitution is entitled to a
respectful hearing, and any one who suggests an efficient
remedy for such evil shall have my earnest support ; but I
attach too much importance to the blessings we already
enjoy to risk them in pursuit of ideal perfection or even
theoretical improvement. At the same time, gentlemen, I
believe that the tenure by which we hold our happy con-
stitution is the willingness of the Legislature to inquire
into and remedy, without fear or favour, every practical
abuse, and its ability to represent fully and faithfully the
wishes and feelings of the nation. It was the want of these
qualities in the then House of Commons that brought
about the reform of 1832, and Ido not doubt that a simi-
lar cause would in these times produce a similar result.
You will therefore find me, as I have hitherto been, always
ready to give my aid to peace, economy, and legal reform,
and to forward to the utmost of my power whatever tends
to abolish invidious distinctions and disabilities founded on.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO COMMIT SUlClDE.—Margaret
Macarthy, a large, red faced, and masculine Irish woman,
was brought before Mr. Ellison, charged with being drunk
and disorderly, and attempting to commit self-destruction.
Frederick Greenfield, a police-constable, No. 495 K,
stated that yesterday morning he was on duty in the Com-
mercial-road, near the Cannon-street gate, and saw a mob
of 400 or 500 about and near the prisoner, who was drunk
and making a great disturbance. She was desired to be
quiet and go home, which she refused to do, and on his
attempting to remove her she struck at him and at every
one within her reach. Slie raved and swore fearfully,
threw herself on the ground, and was removed on a
stretcher to the station-house, followed by a boisterous
mob, and to the scandal of the well-ordered and moral
portion of the community.
William Stutch, a police-constable, No. 696 A, stated
that in the course of the night he visited the cell in which
the prisoner was confined, and found her stretched on the
bench with a handkerchief fastened very tightly round the
neck, and with two knots in the handkerchief. She could
not speak, and he had much trouble in unfastening the
knots and releasing her. After she was recovered he left
her. In 10 minutes afterwards he again visited her. The
shawl she was wearing was then covered over her head
kneck, and face, and a portion of it thrust into her mouth.'
She was quite insensible, and he had more trouble than
before in recovering her. He was compelled to watch her
for the remainder of the night.

Mr. Griffin, inspector of the K division, said that the
prisoner was a woman of infamous character, and kept a
brothel in a low neighbourhood, called Queen Ann-street,
Limehouse. Sho had given much trouble to the police.
The prisoner, in defence, said that she put the handker-
chief round her neck to protect herself from cold, and the
cloak over her head to keep it warm.

Mr. Ellison said he did not put any credence in the pri-
soner's *story. She had been drinking heavily, and in her
excitement made two attempts to commit self-murder. Ho
should order her to be remanded for a week.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

WILFULLY DESTROYING THE LIST OF VOTERS FOR
WESTMLNSTER.—John Baker, a shoeblack, was charged
before Mr. Mansfield, with wilfully destroying the list of
voters for members of Parliament, placed on the parish
church of St. James's, Westminster, the property of Mr.
Scott Turner, the high bailiff of Westminster.
Mr. Buzzard, the vestry clerk of St. James's, appeared
to prosecute the prisoner, the proceedings being taken
under the 6th Vic., chap. 18, sec. 25, which enacts that
every person who shall wilfully destroy, mutilate, efface,
or remove any notice, list, register, &c., affixed on a
church shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding 40s.
Lethbridge, 58 C, said that while on duty about half-
past two that morning, he saw the prisoner pull down the
list of voters from the church door and take it away. Ho
stopped the prisoner, who was given into custody by
Warren, the messenger at St. James's vestry:

In answer to the charge the Prisoner said he was very
ignorant, and he was very sorry for what he had done.

Mr. Buzzard wished to state that it was an offence con-
stantly occurring.

Mr. Mansfield said that however ignorant the prisoner
might be, ho must be well aware that when public notices
or papers were put in such places they were not intended
to be pulled down. He would, therefore, have to pay a
penalty of 405,, or be committed for a month in default.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls.)
IN RE STRAND MUSICK HALL COMPANY (LIMITED)-

JUDGMENT.

His Honour delivered judgment in this case, which
came before the court on summons, and which had been
argued at considerable length. He said that the European
and American Finance Corporation held bonds and other
securities for the sum of £lO,OOO and £5,000, ,for which
they had advanced respectively £5,000 and £2,700 to the
Musick Hall Company in question, and they further
claimed interest from the 7th of March, 1865. The only
question was as to the validity of claims put forth by the
corporation as creditors of the company, and whether the
latter proved a flourishing concern or a failure had nothing
to do with the matters in issue. Having referred to the
78th and 35th clauses of the company's act, he said he
considered that according to a correct interpretation of
their proyisions, the directors wore empowered to increase
the amount borrowed to £30,000, and they accordingly ob-
tained the first sum of. £5,000. They afterwards applied
for the £2,700, giving the bond and a policy on the Pliconix
Life Insurance Company as collateral securities, in addi-
tion to a promissory note. But prior to the latter transac-
tion the management had borrowed over £28,000, and there
was no authority by the shareholders to enable them to
increase the money raised beyond the £30,000. He was of
opinion that the Corporation were entitled to receive the
£5,000 with three months' interest. With regard to the
other amount, it was clear that there was no instrument
binding on the company for its repayment, however the
Corporation might have been deceived by the statutory
declaration shown them, and the suppression of the fact
that the company had borrowed nearly £30,000 previously.
He had no power to grant relief as against the company in
respect to the £2,700, though they had evidently been the
victims of a fraud.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Register Winslow.)

This bankrupt was adjudicated when he was on the
continent, the debts being heavy. The matter has been

frequently taken place in consequence of the non-filing of
the accounts. To-day was appointed for the order of dis-
charge, but it was understood that the case had been again
adjourned sub silentio.

BITCKINGHAMSHIRE.

Up to the present time no Liberal candidate has
come forward for the borough, and it is likely that
the course will be "walked over" by the three Con-
servative members, Messrs. Disraeli, Du Pre, and
Harvey, all of whom have issued their addresses
soliciting re-election. Several names were mentioned
as likely, if solicited, to contest the seats for this
county, among them being the eminent counsel, Mr.
F. Calvert, Q.C., and Mr. Lush, Q.C.; but as to
the former gentleman, he has not yet stated his in-
tention; and with respect to the latter, it has
been ascertained by Dr. Lee, the adviser of the
Liberals, that he would have declined to accede to
the prayer of a requisition if one had been pre-
sented to him.

COLONIAL SIIIPPING.—At the close of the year
1864 the colonies and possessions of the United
Kingdom had 12,146 vessels of 1,458,487 tone registered at
their ports—an increase over the previous year of above
1,700 vessels and above 160,000 tons. The return from the
Bahamas is, however, of an exceptional character, owing to
the ill wind which has blown them some good; five years ago
there were registered at the Bahamas 208 vessels of 7,022
tons, and at the end of 1864 the vessels were 660 and the
tonnage 56,487. The North American colonies had at the
close of the year 1861 7,567 vessels of 883,189 tons. India
and the Asiatic colonies had 218,347 tons, and the Aus-
tralasian 174,417 ; Calcutta registering 78,900, and Mel-
bourne 57,531 tons.

for this borough has declined to do so, and the two
Conservative members, Col. Williams and Col. Knox,

LANCASTER (SOUTH).
There was a meeting of the Liberal Committee
for South Lancashire at Manchester yesterday,when
it was agreed to put forward for this division the
Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr. Thompson, a
son of Mr. Samuel Thompson, banker of Liverpool.
A third candidate had been named in the person of
Sir J. Kay Shuttleworth, but it appears that Sir
James is unwilling to offer himself.

HUNGARY.

FLORENCE, June 24.
General Turr has addressed the following letter
to the Opinione, which that journal publishes in its
impression of to-day :
" Sir,—According to the intelligence published
by some journals, General Klapka was on the point
of declaringesthandhimself
of discouraged by the late events
t rabstaining from politics.*
at
" The news from Pesth is certainly not of a plea-
sant character for those having the dignity of their
Rot necessary to give it
anexaggerated The correspondent of
private news confirm it), an eye-
country
importance but it
the Times (and
eye-
witness of the arrival of Francis Joseph in the
Hungarian capital, states that the reception was
good, but not enthusiastic ; in the royal palace of
Buda about 300 of the great civil and military officials
and magnates of the Conservative party, headed
by the Cardinal Primates, awaited the Emperor,
but the Liberal party had no representative. This
testimony of a correspondent and a journal favour-
able to Austria gives me the just measure of the
value to be attached to the recent demonstration at
Pesth, even did I know nothing of the organisation
of such festivals, in which young ladies in the white
costume de rigueur scatter the accustomed flowers
of ingenious homage and gratitude before a Prince
who has as yet done nothing except to condemn
their fathers, mothers, and brothers—guilty of
patriotism. Moreover, I am convinced that a
people as strong asi, the Hungarians will not allow
their liberty of action to be enchained by the pusil-
lanimity of any fraction of men by humiliating com-
promises from whom no country can boast itself
free.

4‘ Nevertheless, the reception of the Emperor at
•Perth has produced a painful impression even upon
myself, since it affords a proof of the degree of
temerity which the Hungnrian Imperialist faction
has reached in consequence of the general apathy
now prevalent in the Liberal camp throughout Eu-
rope, which leaves to the retrograde party an uncon-
trasted activity. I am greatly grieved to see that
true patriots, infected by the malady of indolence,
have permitted a party to speak in the name of the
country which in no way represents the national
aspirations, and from which nothing is expected but
Imperial crosses and donatives for the connecton of
a fraction of the Hungarian nobility, without regard
to the enormous sacrifices to be hereafter made by
the country, in order to negative the injury done by
such Imperial gifts.

But though we may be indignant at what has
been tolerated at Pesth,we must not be disheartened.
1 feel that we must redouble our activity is propor-
tion to the discouraging events. Hopes may vanish
sometimes, but faith should never abandon the man
who has the consciousness of working for the good
of his country. This is the moment to strengthen

TEWKESBURY.

Mr. Wm. Dowdeswell, of Pull-court, will come
forward in the Conservative interest in this borough,
in conjunction with Mr. Reginald Yorke, the pre-
sent Conservative member. It is generally under-
stood that Mr. Martin, the Liberal member, will
again offer himself, not with any expectation of being
re-elected, but for the purpose of keeping his name
before a constituency which his family have so
long represented. It is admitted on all hands
that the Conservatives have a large majority on the
register, and that the return of Messrs. Yorke and
Dowdeswell is a certainty. It will be the first occa-
sion since the passing of the Reform Bill that this
borough has been represented by two Conservatives.

GOVERNMENT ANNUITIES BILL.

Sir M. FARQUHAR asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer what progress was being made in insuring lives
and in purchasing Government annuities under the Act
27 and 28 Vic. cap. 43 ; and also what number of con-
tracts had been entered into by the Postmaster-General in
pursuance of that act ; at how many post-offices such
business had been transacted ; and whether such business
was carried on at any and how many of the old savings
banks ?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the act
had only so recently come into operation that he could not
give his hon. friend the information he required in detail.
A long period of time bad elapsed between the passing of
the act and its corning into operation, so that it had not
been in operation, as was expected in some quar-
ters, immediately on its receiving the assent of
Parliament: They had appointed and opened about 400
offices for the transaction of business, but it had been found
impossible, up to the present, to extend them over the whole
of the country, but no time would be lost in increasing those
offices at the earliest moment. No arrangement had been
able to be come to with the old savings banks for carrying
on the life insurance business. Some hundreds of trans-
actions have been completed by the offices already
in existence, and it would be gratifying, no doubt, to the
hon. gentleman to know that Mr. Scudmore, of the Gene-
ral Post-office, was quite satisfied with the transactions up
to the present time ; and it was also most important to
know that the rules all work well. He hoped he should be
able very shortly to give the hon. gentleman further infor-
mation on the matter.

THE HIGHWORTH "UNION.
Mr. TORRENS asked the Secretary to the Poor Law
Board whether any steps had been taken by the Board to
ascertain that Dr. Kennard, medical officer of the High-
worth Union, had discontinued to employ his assistant,
which was animadverted on and forbidden in the Secre-
tary's letter to Dr. Kennard, dated April 19, 1865.
Viscount ENFIELD said an inquiry had been made into
the matter, and Mr. Kennard had been informed of tie
feeling of the board. The duties of medical officer, he be,
lieved, were now exercised exclusively by Mr. Kennard.
No complaints had been received since the guardians of the
poor had been in communication with Dr. Kennard, and
that being so, it was to be expected that the duties of the
office were now being strictly attended to.

AYLESBURY.

The interest in the forthcoming Parliamentary
election for this borough is greatly on the increase,
and the aspect of affairs has somewhat suddenly
changed. The Conservatives had announced that
their two sitting members, Messrs. Bernard and
Smith, would again seek the suffrages of the elec-
tors ; but up to Saturday only Mr. Smith had issued
his address, Mr. Bernard, whose Parliamentary
career has obtained the respect of even both parties
of politicians, not having as yet stated officially his
intention to again come forward. This silence has
been, and still is, viewed by the Conservatives with
no small concern, and regarded by the Liberals
as a token of the hon. gentleman's intention to
retire into private life at the close of the
present Parliament, mid the latter have been
entering into negotiatidns with a second Libe-
ral candidate to contest the Tory seats, in conjunc-
tion with Mr. Nathaniel M. de Rothschild. The
result of their deliberations will be made known in
a day or two. •
