At a meeting of the Queensland Sheep Invest-
ment Company the following report was presented
to the shareholders :—" In accordance with the un-
derstanding at the meeting of sth October last, the
directors have obtained the opinion of counsel as to
the legal disposal of the sum of £2,400, derived
from forfeited shares, which is as follows :—`As the
Articles now stand, the £2,400 must be retained
and employed as capital ; but I see nothing con-
trary to the letter or policy of the law in amending
the Articles by special resolution, so as to ad-
mit of its being distributed as a dividend.'
The directors, at the same time, also took the oppor-
tunity to obtain counsel's opinion as to the legality
of carrying to profit and loss account the estimated
value of the increase of sheep and cattle, which is
as follows, viz. The directors can legally carry
to the credit of the profit and loss account of the
company the estimated value of the sheep and cattle
on the station, and presumed to be there on the 31st
March, 1865, but they cannot declare and pay a
dividend in anticipation of its realisation ; but that
the proper course, if a dividend is now to be made
on the strength of the presumed profits, will
be to declare it at once, but with a proviso,
postponing its payment till the profits have been
realised.' In accordance with these opinions, and
the resolution of the meeting of the sth October,
the directors present the amended accounts to 30th
June in London, and 31st March, 1865, in Austra-
lia, showing a credit balance of £3,503 ls. 4d. The
directors, in consequence of the legal opinions ob-
tained, cannot recommend the payment of a divi-
dend on this occasion. The directors believe they
have acted for the benefit of the company in not
selling any stock, the station being represented as
capable of carrying
more sheep ; and, by advices
received_last mail, the cattle had advanced in price."

TAY DISTRICT SALMON SPAWNING SEASON.--
Accordin to reports by the watchers in the Tay
district fish were numerous in the Tay, and both salmon
and trout are upon the spawning grounds both above and
below Aberfeldy. In the Earn, about Orieff, fish were
running upon all the dykes, and a few trout had been ob-
served upon Turret Dyke. In the smaller streams and
burns trout had never been seen in larger numbers during
a spawning season for many years past. On Monday, the
Tay and tributaries were a good deal swollen by the sleet
and rain of Sunday.

IN RE LEATHER.

This bankrupt was an attorney, of Lincoln's Inn-fields
and Leeds. To-day was appointed for the last examina-
tion and order of discharge. The debts are £32,000, and
the deficiency is not stated.
Mr. Sorrell, of Mark-lane, for the bankrupt, said that
arrangements were now pending which might result in
the case being taken out of this Court; but before every-
thing was settled he (Mr. Sorrell) would bring the matter
again before his Honour.
Tho case was then adjourned.

Gallery of Illustration.

Another of those pretty trifles which have now
become so popular has been produced at Mr. Ger-
man Reed's elegant establishment, entitled " Love
Wins the Day," the words being by Mr. Finlayson,
and the music by Signor Bucalossi. Of course, as
the title would imply, love is the theme upon which
both gentlemen build their little opera, and the in-
cident, although not positively new, are so nicely
handled that an air of novelty is imparted to the
plot, which, briefly told, is as follows :—A certain
magistrate has a pretty daughter, Nelly, who is
the object of an ardent passion in the breast
of Captain Spark ; but the father is adverse
to having a soldier for a son-in-law, so he
does not look with favour on the suit. The man of
law repels the advances of the gallant captain, and
congratulates himself on having completely driven
the foe away. Such is not the case ; the captain
infuses some tartar emetic into the coffee of the
village magnate, and who soon feels the effect of the
unpleasant mixture, and imagining the worst sends
for Dr. Rosy, the physician. The doctor pro-
nounces a cure impossible, but the captain comes to
the rescue, disguised as a quack doctor, and tells the
justice he can cure him on condition that he will
give him hisdaughter in marriage. This the justice
agrees to, the cure is effected, the captain marries
Nelly, and all ends merrily. Miss Henderson, Miss
Emily Pitt, Mr. Whiffin, Mr. Wilkinson, and Mr.
Shaw represent respectively the daughter, the wife,
the lover, the physician, and the justice, and each
deserve unstinted praise for their performance.
Although there is nearly an absence of part-singing,
there are a number of pretty and taking melodies,
all of which prove the composer to be a gentleman
of undoubted ability and skill. The petite opera
has been mounted with all the taste and elegance
which distinguish Mr. Reed's management, and
doubtless it will be found to attract large audiences,
at least until Christmas.

SOUTHWARK.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY A MERCHANT.-Mr. Jeremiah
F innigan, described as a general merchant, was charged
before Mr. Burcham, this morning, with assaulting Isaac
Solomon, a member of the Hebrew persuasion, carrying on
business as a clothier in the Borough.
The prosecutor stated that he and the prisoner lived in
the same house, 92, Windsor-terrace, Dover-road, South-
wark, the prisoner having brought a woman, whom he
said was his ,wife, and a child. Ho (prisoner) was not more
than a fortnight in the house, and there had been no inter-
course between them. Shortly before 11 o'clock last
night, while he was in bed, the prisoner burst into his
room with a poker in his hand. He jumped out of bed,
and was about putting on his trousers, when the prisoner
struck him a terrific blow with a poker on the
arm, which was severely bruised, and which
ho could scarcely move. There had been no altercation
between them, and the assault was totally unprovoked.
Mr. Edwina, solicitor, who appeared for the prisoner,
cross-examined the prosecutor at some length. His bed-
room was on the second floor, and the prisoner had to come
upstairs to get into it. He swore positively that he gave
the prisoner no provocation whatever, and not a word
passed between them on the occasion in question. The
prisoner was drunk. He knew nothing about the prisoner
further than that he was a lodger in the same house, which
belonged to his (prosecutor's) mother-in-law. Nothing
further was elicited.

42 M said that about 11 o'clock last night he heard the
cry of " police," and went to the house in question and
succeeded in getting an entrance. Ho saw tho prisoner
with a poker in his hand strike the prosecutor, who had
come down stairs. He kicked witness.
Mr. Edwins said that he was not instructed to make any
defence on tho part of his client, further than that he was
very drunk at the time he committed the assault, and
mistook the prosecutor for another party. He trusted tho
magistrate would afford the prisoner an opportunity of
settling with the prosecutor, and he was authorised to say
that his client would make an ample apology, and not
enter Mr. Solomon's house again.

of the night, and assaulting him in the savage way de-

was present on duty. I convict him of the assault, and
sentence him to pay a fine of £5, or bo committed for ono
month, and also to find surety in £2O to keep the peace for
three months.
The prisoner was then removed from the bar.

RUSSIA.

We take the following from the Journal de St.
Petersbourg of Oct. 29 :
" A letter from Karsoun (district of Simbirsk),
addressed to the Russian Gazette at Moscow, says :
" On the 9th Oct. so much snow had fallen that
all the winter roads are prepared for sledging ; the
cold is 10 deg. All this is not satisfactory, as it has
become necessary tci house the cattle, and provender
is not abundant; moreover, a fearful scourge is de-
vastating our country. The cattle plague is destroying
horned cattle by hundreds, sheep bythousands. The
disease which destroys them is quite unknown. The
beast becomes depressed, hangs his head down, his
eyes become dim, and within an hour all is over.
No attempt is made to stop the plague ; the super-
stitious people here look upon it as a judgment of
God. Of the fine herds and flocks of Gorenki, Pos-
selki, Stanitchnoe, and other large villages, not one-
tenth remains. _

"' At Kozlow, a town in the Tambow district,
snow has also fallen, and the winter roads are ready,
The cold is 10 degrees.'"

MARKETS—This Day.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The supply of beasts here to-day was tolerably good as
to number, but very deficient in quality. All breeds moved
off freely, and Monday's quotations were well supported.
The top figure was ss. 4d. per 8 lbs. The show of sheep
was rather limited; nevertheless, sales progressed slowly,
and, in some instances, prices had a drooping tendency.
The best Downs and half-breeds realised 6s. 6d per 8 lbs.
Calves were in fair average supply and moderate request
on former terms, viz., from 4s. Gd. to ss. Gd. per 8 lbs.
There was only a limited business done in pigs at 2d. to
4d. per 8 lbs. less money. Mulch cows were very dull a'
late rates.

NEW MUSIC•

Messrs. Robert Cocks and Co., of Newßurlington-
street, have just published three of Madame Lem-
mens Sherrington's songs, all of which are remark-
able for sweetness of melody. The first is the
" Liquid Gem." It is set in A flat, the words by J.
Streaks, and the music by W. T. Wrighton ; the
second is " Shylie Bawn," in F, the words by Mrs.
Crawford, and the music by the same composer as
the above ; and the third is "Oh ye tears," in C,
the words by Dr. Mackay, and the music by Franz
Abt. It is impossible to select from the trio the most
graceful of the productions ; so we recommend the
whole, feeling certain they will form a very pleasing
addition to the portfolio of every young lady of taste
and ability.

THAMES.

A DISORDERLY LINENDRAPER.—Luke King, a very
smartly dressed young man, was brought before Mr. Part-
ridge, charged with being drunk and disorderly and break-
ing a window at the H division station-house in Leman-
street.

Daniel Higgins, a police-constable 60 H, stated that last
night at ten o'clock the prisoner was making a groat dis-
turbance outside the station-houso in Leman-street, and
when remonstrated with he became very violent, and
rushed into the station-house-yard, where he broke a pane
of glass. The prisoner was proceeding to futher violence
when he was captured and takenbefore the inspector. Two
constables were compelled to hold him while the charge
was being taken.

The Prisoner—l dare say what the policeman says is all
true, but why was I locked up all night ? The police might
have sent to my employer at No. 79, High-street, White-
chapel, and he would have bailed me.

Mr. Partridge—What do you say to the chargo of being
drunk ?

The Prisoner—That was an accident.

Mr. Partridge—You are fined ls. for breaking a pane of
glass, Is. 6d. the value of the glass, and 20s. for being
drunk and disorderly, and, in default, 14 days' imprison-
ment.

A VERY SINGULAR CASE.—Mary Ann Tisson, a married
woman, well-dressed, who appeared to be labouring under
great mental anxiety and suffering, and who fainted during
the proceedings, was charged with being drunk and die-
orderly, and threatening to throw her child into the Re-
gent's Canal, near the Globe Tavern, in the Mile-end-road.
The prisoner was seen in the Mile-end-road last night
with her little girl, aged seven years. She inquired of a
young man named Hunett where she could obtain a lodg-
ing. He directed her to Bath's coffee-house, in the road,
and said if she was not successful there she could obtain a
lodging for herself and child at the Union Workhouse.
Directly afterwards he heard the
_prisoner talk about throw-
ing her girl into the water. •He walked a few yards and
heard the girl scream'and call out for help. The girl was
labouring under great terror, and said her mother intended
to throw her into the canal, and clung to the young man.
The prisoner was given into the custody of Carter, a police
constable, No. 78 K, who was informed the prisoner had
thrown another child into the water and drowned it. The
prisoner, who is thirty-nine years of age, quarrelled
with her husband, a corn porter, last night. He
found only a handful of fire in the grate when
he came home, and no supper. He ordered her to leave
the room, and she went out and seated herself at the
door with her child for an hour, and then strayed away
from her home. Her husband said she was addicted to
strong drinks, and .he believed she was not quite right in
her mind. He lived at No. 24, William-street, Bethnal-
green, and was employed in Camden-town.
Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoner for a week to in-
quire into her state of mind, and whether there was any
truth in the statement that she had drowned one of her
children.
London, England, 1865-11-02

SALISBURY.-TUESDAY.

There was about an average attendance of farmers,
millers, and dealers at this market to-day. A moderate
supply of wheat was offered, but some of the samples were
out of condition. A decidedly improved feeling was ex-
hibited in the trade, and an advance of 2s per qr. was esta-
blished for best dry! qualities, and from is to 2s on secon-
dary sorts. Barley also more active. Secondary lots 2s
per qr. more money than last week. Oats in some cases
advanced ls. Beans likewise also advanced ls.

The following are the quotations :—Wheat realised from
36s to 52s ; barley, 36s to 39s ; oats, 22s to 30s ; beans, 40s

London, England, 1865-11-02

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBERY AT THE ST. GEORGE'S BATHS AND WASH-
HOUSES.— Elizabeth Ayres, a young woman, was charged
before Mr. Barker with the following robbery at the St.
George's Baths and Washhouses, Davies-street, Berkeley-
square.

Mrs. Sarah King, of 21, Luton-street, Lisson-grove, said
that having missed a sheet from off a horse at the baths,
and suspecting the prisoner she went after hor, and see-
ing her in the street outside the baths she lifted her shawl,
and under it found the sheet she had missed, and which
was of the value of 7s. Gd.

Police-constable Iretticar, 171 C, said that on taking the
prisoner into custody at the St. George's Baths, she said
that she was very hard up, and had taken the property, as
she wished to get to Oxford. She also told him that she
had lived at Mr. Webb's, a butcher, near Leicester-
square, and on going there he heard a rather unfavourable
account of the prif,oner, several articles being missed.
Mr. Baker asked the prosecutrix whether she was aware
if such robberies were frequent.
The prosecutrix said they were.
Mr. Baker asked the prisoner whether she wished to say
anything.
The prisoner said sho was guilty.
Mr. Baker said that persons using the baths and wash-
houses must be protected, and committed the prisoner for
three months, with hard labour.

views the merit of originality. He did not put them
forward as his own ; for they had long been advo-
cated by great men connected with the industry and
the education of England ; but they were views
which had been brought into a focus, and applied
more especially by that illustrious personage whose

COUNTRY MARKETS.


GAI/sTSBOROUGII—TUEADAY.
Our corn exchange to-day was very thinly supplied with
English wheat. Millers and factors were eager purchasers
at 2s per qr. more money for all mixed samples, and from
about 2s to 3s advance for fine white sorts. Barley is
dearer. Other descriptions rather better to sell.

" Disturbances continue on the East Coast.
" The Colonial forces and friendly natives have
been successful against the fanatics.
" The pah was stormed by the colonial forces.
" The expedition captured the natives who mur-
dered Volkner and Capt. Close.

" The Governor has confiscated land in Tara-

BRISTOL AND NORTH SOMERSET.

The half-yearly meeting was held at Bristol, yes-
terday—Mr. Colthurst in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said that looking at Bristol as the northern
end of the line, and going south through the mine-
ral and agricultural districts of Dorset, and the
upper part of Somerset, they had a right to obtain
the powers they sought. The result of the Parlia-
mentary contests of the last session was that,
although they did not succeed in carrying their own
bills, the measures promoted by their opponents met
with practically a similar fate, while the committee
of the House of Commons gave an expression of
opinion most faiourable to the future success of the
southern extension of the Bristol and North Somer-
set line. The works at present going on were
making satisfactory progress, and be hoped that the
line would soon be completed and opened for traffic.
Mr. SMITH, deputy-chairman, seconded the mo-
tion.

The resolution was carried unanimously.
Mr. W. COATES moved a resolution requesting
the directors to take immediate steps for the com-
pletion of the railway and for its junction with the
Somerset and Dorset and other narrow-gauge lines
of the south of England, in accordance with the
original design.
Mr. FRY seconded the motion, which was car-
ried unanimously.
Mr. W. Nicholls was elected auditor, and a vote
of thanks to the chairman and directors terminated
the proceedings.
