LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE LORD THOMAS PELHAM CLINTON.

An application was made this morning by Mr. Whiting,
an attorney, of London, for an adjudication in bankruptcy
against Lord Thos. Pelham Clinton, at present described as
of Paris. It was sworn under an affidavit that Lord Clinton
had full notice of the present application, and his Honour
granted the order, but advising Mr. Whiting to be very
careful how ho acted upon it, as there was a case now
before the:House of Lords upon this very question.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

FORTUNATE CAPTURE OF A DARING TRIEF—ROBBERY AT
A WATCHMAKER'S.—John Perkins, described as a clerk,
but who refused his address, was charged beforo Mr. Knox
with stealing a gold chronometer, of the value of £7O,
from the shop of Mr. Charles M'Dowall, watchmaker, of
No. 2G, Jermyn-street.
Mr. M'Dowall said that on the previous afternoon the
prisoner came into his shop and asked to be shown some
gold watches, stating that he wished to purchase a gold
chronometer. He showed the prisoner several, and he
then said he would call again, and just as he (prosecutor)
was putting them back, the prisoner bent over the counter,
took up one of the value of £7O, and started out of the
shop. An outcry was raised, and the prisoner was pursued
and caught by a constable.
Police-constable John Holman, 326 A, said that on the
previous afternoon he was told by a man that three men he
,pointed out had-robbed a watchmaker, the man stating
that the prisoner was the one who had the property.
He pursued the prisoner, and after a severe chase over-
took him and took him into custody, and while on the
way to the Vine-street police-station he threw the gold
chronometer, produced, down an area, and it was subse-
quently given to him by a person who picked it up.
George Randell, a paper hanger, of Sutton-street, Com-
mercial-road East, proved seeing the prisoner while in
custody of the constable drop the chronometer down an
area. He picked it up and handed it to the constable.
Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, stating that he had no
doubt it would be found that he was known.

TAFF VALE.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
Bristol on Tuesday ; Mr. J. Poole in the chair.
An abstract of the report has appeared in The Sun.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
congratulated the proprietor on the results of the past half-
year's proceedings. Although the revenue had not been so
large as that of the corresponding half of 1863, he had no he-
sitation iu saying that the decrease had arisen from excep-
tional causes. In the early part of the hali-year great dissa-
tisfaction arose between the working colliers and their
masters, and they restricted the hours of labour, and conse-
quently the supply of coal. Succeeding that there was a dis-
pute between the ironmasters in Staffordshire, and a large
amount of traffic whichwould have come to Cardiff had been
taken northward, and thus interfered with the traffic of the
line. No sooner was that difficulty removedthan the severe
weather interfered with the arrival of vessels at the port of
Cardiff, and that accounted for the difference inthe revenue.
That was the gloomy side of the account, but on the other
side the prospects of the company were as bright as ever
they had been. He then adverted to the Dare Valley Rail-
way, the proposed Aman Vale Railway, to the Penarth Dock,
&c., and pointed out the great traffic which would be
brought upon the Taff Vale line from those undertakings.

A long discussion ensued relative to the accounts and the
mode of electing directors, and after explanations from the
Chairman the report was unanimously adopted. The divi-
dend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum was declared,
and a vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro-
ceedings.
The half-yearly meeting of the Taff Vale Waggon Com-
pany, and the Llantrissant and Taff Vale Junction Railway
Company were subsequently held, when the reports of the
directors were adopted without discussion.

WHITEHAVEN, CLEATOR, AND EGREMONT.
The report states that, notwithstanding a reduction of 10
per cent. on the gross tolls for iron ore, commencing on the
Ist of July, there had been a considerable increase of re-
ceipts as compared with the corresponding half of last year.
After providing for all charges against revenue, there re-
mained a balance of £10,486, out of :which the directors
recommended the payment of a dividend at the rate of 12 per
cent. per annum. Arrangements had been entered into with
the Whitehaven and Furness Company, whereby they had
led the directors to postpone for the present the contem-
plated extension of the line southwards ; but the directors
had applied for power to construct a branch from the Big-
rigg iron ore fields to join the railway near Moor Row. The
construction of the Marron Valley Extension, for connect-
ing this line with the Cockermouth Railway, progressed
rapidly.
London, England, 1865-02-23

SOLWAY JUNCTION.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Tuesday at Whitehaven, Mr. A. Brogden in the chair.
Mr. C. J. Tahourdin, the secretary, read the report, which
stated that the construction of the railway would be accom-
plished at the expense considerably within the engineer's
Parliamentary estimate. The works would commence early
in March. The proposed works for crossing the Solway still
occupied the attention of the Board of Trade.

The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report. The
shareholders, he thought, would consider that the directors
had exercised great discretion in suspending proceedings
during the late state of the money-market. They had not
lost any time, but had made good use of it, as by going
carefully over the plans and sections with the engineer they
had been able not only to improve the line, but to economise
the outlay necessary in its construction. The requisite ex-
penditure, in fact, had been brought down £5, 000 below the
Parliamentary estimate and the share capital which it was
proposed to provide for its construction. Parliament this
Session had decided that they should make the line from
Abbey Holme to Brayton, and the North British were ac-
corded running powers over that portion of their scheme,
while negotiations were pending with the same company
to grant the Salway Junction running powers over their
line from Kirkbride to the Abbey. Though they had made
apparently no great progress last year the directors had
been engaged in maturing the scheme as passed in Parlia-
ment. A very satisfactory arrangement had been made with
the contractors, Messrs. Waring Brothers and Eckersley,
for the construction of the line, and the works would be
commenced at once and carried out vigorously. The works
as at present arranged would cost something like £300,000,
including land and stations, or an average cost of £12,000
per mile. It was calculated that they would require a re-
ceipt of £lslos. per mile to enable them to pay a dividend
of 5 per cent.

Mr. J. DEES seconded the motion, which was carried.
A. vote of thanks to tho chairman concluded the proceed-
ings.

GREAT EASTERN.
It appears that every exertion is being made to push
forward this company's metropolitan station in Liverpool-
street and the suburban lines in connexion with it. In
some cases satisfactory arrangements have been made with
landowners and owners of house property for taking imme-
diate possession. Contracts for the works have been let,
and instructions given to proceed with the utmost vigour
in order that no time may be lost in affording the accom-
modation and convenience so much needed to develope the
resources of this company's railways. The present station
at Shoreditch is to be made available for the accommoda-
tion of goods and mineral traffic.

ALLEGED AftUCTION OF A NUN.

Mr. CAVE moved an address for a copy of official cor-
respondence with her Majesty's Government relative to the
abduction of a nun named Mary Ryan. .

THE OFFICERS OF THE GREENWICH UNION.
Mr. MAGUIRE asked the President of the Poor-
law Board whether his attention had been drawn
to the acts of illegality brought home to
the paid officers of the Greenwich Union in connection with
the cases of Mary Moriarty, Julia Hannon, and others ;
and, if so, whether any and what official cognisance had
been taken by the Poor-law Board of the conduct of
the officers concerned. And whether the circum-
stances connected with these and similar cases of re-
moval to Ireland do not call for amendment of the law ;
and, if so, whether the Government were prepared to pro-
pose such amendment without delay ?
Mr. VILLIERS said that in 1860 the law on this subject
had been amended, and instead of Irish paupers being
merely deposited on the coast of Ireland, they were con-
veyed to their native parishes. The cases alluded to arose
from a departure from that amendment, and had formed
the subject of an enquiry.

WESTMINSTER.

►SHAMEFUL AND UNPROVOKED ASSAULT UPON A SHOP-
KEEPER.—WiIIiam Goldsmith, a rough looking man, was
charged With the commission of a very serious attack upon
a tradesman in his own shop.
Mr. William Bull, butcher, Broadway, Westminster, said
that at five o'clock last evening defendant came into the
shop and asked for a beef steak. He served him with it and
asked for the money, eightpence, and then defendant said
that he should not gay more than sevenpenco. Com-
plainant repeated that the price was as stated, upon which
the defendant struck him a violent blow on the face, from
the effects of which he staggered to the other side of the
shop, and he bled profusely. A policeman was sent for,
and he was taken into custody.

Michael Slack, a young man, who went into Mr Bull's
shop at the moment, confirmed the complainant's account.

Defendant—There were some words between us because
he threatened to put a knife into a dog in the shop.
Mr. Arnold—Was it your dog ?
Defendant—No, it was not.
Mr. Arnold—Then it could be of no possible interest to
you ; what do you say to the assault ?
Defendant—Well, I am very sorry.

Mr. Arnold—And so you ought to be. You go into this
tradesman's shop, and because he wants the price for his
meat at which he sells it you commit this disgraceful as-
sault. I shall send you for ten days to prison:

harvest of death.. • ,
It was this maakathnous -spirit:which
sustained him in the confidence that Nie-phoulditfininpkill
the end. We have been chastened and na4 bearain. 4Let
us profit by the lesson reverses are designed to teach, that
we are not to serve a friend merely because he is such, or
strike an enemy when we might serve the country. The
President here said that his failing strength admonished
him to close his remarks, but he yielded to loud requests to
'go on.' We must, he said, lock shields together and go
forward to save onr country, or sink together to honour-
able graves. (Loud applause.) He was not of those
who had expected no discord and no parties, but if our
disagreement result from passion we must exercise it, and
make the good of our country our sole aime If we will all
do our duty we shall reap a brilliant reward. If the ab-
sentees from our armies will return, and if the local assist-
ance be rendered which may be readily afforded, the noble
army of Northern Virginia will read General Grant a yet
severer lesson than it taught him from the Rapidan to the
James ; while the gallant Beauregard will cause Sher-
man's march across Georgia to be his last. We had,
said the President, in the conduct of the enemy wherever
they had gained temporary rule over our people, the signs
of what they would do in our :subjugation. Thus
warned, we were forewarned. Happy in such a case would
be those who had fallen in the fight; the miserable would
be the survivors. In conclusion, the President said
he had gratifying proofs of the spirit which animated
the people whom he addressed. He had even seen the
old men upon duty, careless alike of the piercing blast
and whistling bullet, and your women have declared that
they will fight the battle if you should recoil. God bless
' your proud spirit and manly fortitude. History will de-
light to dwell upon your praise. The law and the officers
of the law could not accomplish everything. There was
much that could be effected only by a sound public opinion.
Public opinion must make it a shame and disgrace for a
man to skulk from his duty or to inquire not what he is
able to do, but the law will make him do. Our women
must take broomsticks and drive absentees and stragglers
to their duty. (Loud cheers) We have one cause to sus-
tain, one country to defend. He who falls on the soil of
Louisiana or sheds blood on the soil of North Carolina or
Virginia is alike an honoured martyr. The inquiry among
us must be not what service we can escape, but, instead of
that, a generous rivalry among citizens and States which
shall do most andgive most to the cause. (Loud applause.)
"The President resumed his seat amid loud and enthu-
siastic cheering."

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 23, 1865.

Railway and other Companies.

SALISBURY AND YEOVIL.

The directors of this company have agreed to recom-
mend a dividend on the ordinary shares at the rate of 5/
per cent. per annum for the half-year ending the 31st of
December last.
London, England, 1865-02-23

STAINES, WOKINGHAM, AND WOKING.

The report of the directors states that there had been no
receipt or payment on capital account during the past half-
year. There was a small increase in the amounts of deben-
tures at 5 per cent. and 4f per cent., owing to the high rate
of interest which had recently prevailed. The increase on
passenger traffic during the past half-year amounted to
£142, and on goods to £46. The directors trusted that the
extension of the London and South-Western Railway into
the heart of the city, and probably also to the west-end,
combined with the speedy construction of the Sunningdale
and Cambridge-town Railway, and Chertsey and Virginia-
water branch, would produce a more rapid increase of their
traffic. The balance now standing to the credit of profit
and loss account was £2,782, out of which the directors re-
commended the usual dividend of 5 per cent. per annum on
the preference shares, amounting, less income tax, to
£1,219; and a dividend of 2s. 6d. per share, being at the
rate of per cent. per annum on the ordinary shares,
leaving a balance of £8 for the next account.

The military news brought by the Peruvian is
not of great importance,"with the exception of the
further details of the ill-success of GRANT'S move-
ment at Ilatcher's Run. The modern ULYSSES was
in such haste to
make a demonstration on the con-
clusion of the peace conference that his forces were
in motion almost before the full tale could have been
told at Richmond. The failure
was evidently complete of the movement
account were estimated at , the losses, -which by the first
100 men, have now risen
to "upwards of 1,500." That upwards will probably
bring the actual sum total much probably
3,000, for if
a first return only gives us one man out of fifteen
we may reasonably suppose that the second calcula-
tion has only reckoned one man out of two. The
Confederates lost, according to their own account,
but few men, but among them was General PEGRAII.
The movement on GRANT'S part was intended, it is
said, to cover TERRY'S advance on Wilmington
with 30,000 men which was begun on the same day.
The Confederates .are evidently making active pre-
parations on their side, and are concentrating their
forces southwards. We learn from Nashville

small committees should be elected in each parish,
and that the duty of such committees should be to
obtain all the information they could as to cattle

List would order the county police to watch all the

ascertain where they had come from, and for whom

breeders of cattle in the neighbourhood, warning
them to see that the cattle they purchased were free

Several fresh cases of the murrain are reported
to have occurred in the vicinity of Canterbury. The
committee appointed at the meeting of East Kent
farmers on Saturday have drawn up and forwarded
to the Privy Council a memorial setting forth that
all importation of cattle without due inspection
being prohibited in the port of London, the county
of Kent is in especial danger from the landing of
diseased stock in the different ports throughout the
coast, and that the existing state of the law does not
give any power to stop the transit of diseased stock
on the public roads, nor to any public market,
whereby the disease is liable to be indefinitely spread,
and praying that the same system of inspection
be instituted at all ports on the Kentish seaboard ;
that steps be immediately taken to stop as far as
possible the progress of the disease, by prohibiting
the landing or transit of any diseased cattle ; and
that the committee be empowered, in co-operation
with the Government inspection, to take any means
they may consider desirable to stop the progress of
the disease where already commenced. They
have also appointed Messrs. Crowhurst, veterinary
surgeons, of Canterbury, inspectors of stock for East
Kent, but particularly the Canterbury district. Mr.
Lord, veterinary surgeon to the Cavalry Depot, at
the Canterbury Garrison, has suggested to the com-
mittee the propriety of establishing an hospital for
diseased cattle, and, in the event of one being formed,
is willing to render all the assistance in his power
gratuitously. The committee are disposed to enter-
tain the suggestion if funds can be obtained. Mr.
R. Fur]ey, secretary to the Ashford Cattle-market,
has written to say that Mr. Fordham, veterinary
surgeon, has been appointed to examine the stock
sent for sale to that market.
