WESTMINSTER.

A DRUNKEN CABMAN.--William Dean, a cab-driver, was
charged before Mr. Arnold with being drunk and incap-
able of taking care of himself in Victoria-street.
It appeared that on the previous evening about 10 o'clock
police-constable 205 A saw the prisoner in the Victoria=
road driving a cab. A man in a cart laden with confectionary
was going in a contrary direction. The prisoner, who was
drunk, drove his cab against the cart, which was upset,
and the contents were thrown into the road. The driver
was knocked down and the cart nearly broken to pieces.
The prisoner was thrown off his cab, while his vehicle
was also much damaged.

The driver of the cart said that he was much hurt, and
that the pastry was all broken to pieces, and not fit for
sale. The value was about .£4.

Mr. Arnold—What was the amount of damage to the
cart?

Witness—About £l2, your worship.
Mr. Arnold--Then, I have no power to adjudicate.
The witness said that he was going at a pace of about
seven miles an hour, and that the prisoner was going at a
very rapid rate.
Mr. Humphrey observed that the owner of the cart was
not present.
Mr. Arnold remarked that he had only power to act if
the value did not exceed £lO. He would adjourn tho case
for the attendance of the owner of the cart.
The prisoner was remanded.
London, England, 1865-08-02

ration of the diseased animals : this is a very
necessary step to be taken ; but, like many others,
might with advantage have been done earlier.
It has been very properly suggested that it would
be well if some steps were taken to prevent the im-
portation of foreign cattle into this country in an
unfit condition. Inspectors should be appointed to
I decide upon the health of the animals, and thus
prevent the fearful effects produced by these afflicted
creatures coming into contact with those of our
own markets. Professor GAMGEE has written a
letter, which contains valuable information for
those concerned in the management of cattle and
sheep. He says that the present high price of meat,
so greatly complained of, is owing to the diminu-
tion of our stock by disease since the first
importation of foreign animals in 1842.
I Although not averse to free trade, the Professor
wisely affirms that some mans should be adopted
by the farmers of this country to effect a proper
regulation of foreign and home traffic. Small-pox
is now on the Sussex downs ; and in this letter much
useful information is given respecting the treatment
of the calamity. The present time is a dangerous
one for the community to be put upon short allow-
ance, and for anything like 'diseased meat to be
taken ; and the thanks of the public are due to
those who endeavour to mitigate the evil and put a
stop to the spread of disease by the inculcation of
truths that should be generally known, and the
enunciation of facts that cannot be too much dwelt
upon by those who are concerned inthe traffic of cattle.
When fe consider the mischief that is wrought by
mistakes in these matters, and the great ignorance
that prevails in many quarters among responsible
individuals, it is doubly important that right in-
formation should be obtained, and that those con-
cerned in the affair should not fold their hands in
idleness, but follow the course which reason directs,
and seek by the appliances of science, when they
can be obtained, the means of remedy, and where
they are of no avail to adopt the only possible
means of arre9ting the evil. It will not do to let
things alone until the harm that inattention occa-
sions has spread through the length and breadth
of the land, and a whole train of evils have to
be encountered whose progress it will be difficult
to stem.

Charge of Forgery against a Shipbroker.

At the Mansion-house Police-court yesterday a well-
dressed young man, named Ellis Hugh Jones, described as
a shipbroker, was brought up on remand before tho Lord
Mayor charged with feloniously forging and uttering a bill
of exchange for .£173 108., with the intent to defraud Messrs.
Cunliffe and Co., bankers, Bucklersbury.
Mr. Muliens prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh, Jim., appeared
for tho prisoner.

DESPERATE ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—Catherine Robert-
son, of No. 30, Norfolk-street, Middlesex Hospital, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with violently assaulting
Harriett Hutson, a married woman, residing at No. 20,
Davies-street, Manchester-square.
The prosecutrix (who gave her evidence seated, she ap-
pearing to be in a very weak state, and her face frightfully
disfigured) said—Yesterday afternoon I went into the
Queen's Head public-house at the corner of .Titchfield-
street with a man named Cex and had a glass of porter.
The prisoner made some remark about tailors, and I said
that one trade was as good as ax other. The prisoner then
left the house, and as she was doing so she said to me " I
do not get my living as a common prostitute." I went
after the prisoner, touched her on the shoulder, and asked
her why she had said what she had. I then returned to
the house, and just as I was piing in at the door the pri-
soner struck me a violent blow on the nose with a saucer•
My nose bled a good deal, and hung in pieces. I was very
faint, and was taken to the Middlesex Hospital, when a
pieco of china was taken out of my nose, and it was sewn
in three places. I shall have to attend the hospital for
some time to come.

Mr. Moses Abrahams, from Birmingham, but staying in
Riding-house-street, corroborated the prosecutrix in every
particular.

George llimes, a young man, peed taking the prosecu-
trix to a doctor's, then fetching a constable, and afterwards
going with the prosecutrix to the hospital.
A constable said that when ho went to the spot the pro-
secutrix was bleeding fearfully from her nose. He took
the prosecutrix to the hospital and the prisoner to the
station.
The prisoner—l did it in self-defence.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—There is no answer whatever to the
charge. I shall remand you to see what the result of the
injury will be; but, under any circumstances, you will be
thoroughly punished.

The Price of Gold.

♦-

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mile pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.17 i per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of Z 3
7s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
rather more than 1-Itth per cent. dearer in Paris than in
London.

By adrlca from Hamburg the price of gold Is 428 per marl
and the short exchange on London is 13.71 per £1 stcrlin:.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 108,1 to 100 per cent. At these rates there is
no profit on the importatio4 of go'd from the Un►ted states.

NEWPORT PAGNELL,

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the office, Westminster-chambers, Vie.
toria-street--Mr. neatly in the chair.
The report stated that the progress of the works
had been so satisfactory that it was expected the
line would be ready for opening in the autumn. An
act for the extension of the line to Olney was passed
last session, and the directors believed that it would
prove a valuable feeder to the main line when.com.
pleted.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, the report was
adopted.
The meeting was then made special, and the di.
rectors were authorised to raise an additional capital
of £BO,OOO by the issue of 5 per cent. preference
shares, for the construction of the extension line •
anti the proceedings terminated. 7

ABERYSTWITH AND WELSH COAST.
A special meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at the office, Bank-buildings, Lothbury ; Mr.
Banks in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN proposed a resolution authorising

the directors to raise an additional capital of
£120,000 by the issue of ordinary or preferential
shares, and to borrow on mortgage a further sum or
240,000.

The motion was carried unanimously, and the-
proceedings terminated.

BURY ST. EDMUNDS AND THETFORD.

It appears the directors of this company have
made arrangements for the construction of the
works with Messrs. R. Sharpe and Sons, who are to
receive payment to the extent of one-third in shares
of the company, and they undertake to pay interest
on the capital at the :rate of 5 per cent. per annum
during construction, and to guarantee a minimum
dividend of the same amount for the first 12 months
after the opening of the line.

SPILSBY AND FIRSBY.
The works of this line are expected to be coin•
menced in the autumn.

PROVINCIAL JOINT-STOCK BANKING.
The annual meeting of the shareholders in the
Birmingham and Midland Bank was held yester-
day at Birmingham. The net profit forthe year was
declared to have amounted to £52,750. A dividend
of £5 per share (£5O paid) for the half-year was
declared, this being an increase of 10s. per share on
the previous half-year, and the surplus (19,835) was
added to the guarantee ;fund—making £178,688.
The paid-up capital is £249,150. The Midland
Banking Company (limited) has occasionally been
mistaken for this bank, from the circumstance of
that company having adopted in part the title of
this. The directors are anxious that, through the
medium of The Sup this misapprehension should, if
possible, be removed. The dividend and bonus de-
clared by the Birmingham Banking Company is at
the rate of 20 per cent. per annum.

THE MILLS AT WORK.—The amount of cotton
goods exported during the last six months has
been 942,871,056 yards• Taking the circumference of the
earth at 24,876 miles, or 43,781,760 yards, it follows that
our manufacturers have already during this year thrown
off as much cotton as would encircle the earth 21 times,
with as many millions of yards over as would make a bag
to cover up tile moon.

STRIKE OF CUBITT'S WORKMEN.

This bankrupt was describe 4 as formerly a general
dealer of Cromer-street, Gray's-inn-lane, now of Hammer-
smith, out of business, and to-day was appointed for proof
of debts. The claims already on the file are £220, and the
cause of bankruptcy is stated to be " badness of trade and
the striking of Cubitt's workmen." It appeared that the
bankrupt's principal trade was with the various workmen
employed by Messrs. Cubitt and Co., and upon the recent
strike, the men being obliged to curtail their expenditure,
the present failure resulted.

Debts were proved, and the case adjourned.
(Mr. Registrar Winslow.)
IN RE CAPTAIN CURGENYEN.

This bankrupt was described as a captain in the Military
Train, now stationed at Woolwich, and to-day was ap-
pointed for the adjourned order of discharge. The debts
are £5,207, and the deficiency £3,043, the failure being
caused by the high rate of interest paid by the bankrupt
upon bills. The expenditure had been £7OO per annum
up to 1863, and £1,200 for 1864—such being considerably
in excess of the bankrupt's pay as an officer.
The case was adjourned in order to afford the bankrupt
an opportunity of making some arrangement with his
creditors.

SHOREDITCH COUNTY COURT.
(Before C. Coleman, Esq.)
THE CARRIAGE OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS-FITZGERALD V.

THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

This was an action to recover £4O damages, alleged
to have been sustained by the plaintiff, who is a gentleman
of large property, and a J.P., residing at Boulge Hall,
Suffolk, in consequence of the careless manner in which a
certain organ had been carried by the defendants, who
paid £lO into court, pleading never indebted as to the
rest.

Mr. Churchward appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Burnand
representing the company.
The evidence went to show that the organ had got wet
in transit, and the wooden pipes were so damaged that
the tone of the instrument was entirely gone.
"His Honour, in giving judgment, observed that in musi-
cal instruments, more especially organs, the tone was
everything. In this-case it appeared that the company
had sent an organist to look at the instrument after the
damage had resulted. Now it was quite impossible for that
organist to say what was its original tone. The plaintiff
had sworn that the original tone was very beautiful, and it
remained for the Court to say if, looking at the damage,
the £4O claimed was too much. His Honour thought it
was, but that the company had also paid in too little. If
the tone of the musical instrument was injured by a rail-
way company in the carriage, the company were clearly
liable in damages. Tho verdict of the Court would be for
£l5, in addition to the £lO in court.
Verdict for the plaintiff for £25 (in all) and costs.

THE PISTON FREEZING MACHINE
(ASH'S PATENT) is rapidly becoming a part of the
cuisine of every gentleman's establishment. becau4e it is by
far the quiake,t, most economical, and easy method of
freezing known. It is only by the piston process that des-
sert ices, iced puddings, &c., can be made at once in moulds.
ready for table (avoiding the double operation of freezing and
moulding afterwards). It is the very best apparatus for
icing wines, and produces the purest block Ice. Its complete
success, when used with the chemical freezing powders (in
lieu of ice) in hot climate., on board ship, etc., is testified by
reference to patroas in nearly every part of the world. Price

HAMMERSMITH AND CITY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the office, Bedford-street, Strand ; Mr.
T. E. Foakes in the chair.

The report, an abstract of which has appeared in
The Sun, was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said he had very little to say in addition to
it. The Great Western and Metropolitan Railway
Companies had remitted to them the stipulated pay-
ments due on the Ist of July. The directors recom-
mended that a dividend be declared and paid at the
rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the amounts paid
in respect of the 5 per cent. preference shares, and
at the same rate on the original stock. The deed of
transfer was not yet prepared for their approval, as
it was only since the 19th of June last the Metro-
politan Company were in a position to deal with it.
The matter would be forwarded as soon as possible,
at the same time they were in receipt of the sum
for dividend as if the whole was signed or sealed.
An accident had occurred on their line in conse-
quence of the nature of the soil and a subsidence in
one or two of the arches of the viaduct, which had
the effect of stopping the traffic on their line for two
days. The cause of the subsidence had arisen from
the nature of the soil and from some defects in the
workmanship. It appeared that Mr. Rummens, the
contractor, was not liable for this circumstance after
the 13th of June last, but Mr. Rummens said that
he was prepared to do what was necessary to put
that portion of the line in good order at his own ex-
pense. He (the chairman) thought it was right the
shareholders should know the liberal manner in
which that matter was dealt with by the contractor.
(Hear.) The Fulham Railway Company had ob-
tained an act for extending the Hammersmith line
to the Thames, and he believed the Great Western
and Metropolitan Companies were prepared to take
up that project on similar terms to those of the
Hammersmith line, with a view to carry it out.
Lieut.-Colonel WARD seconded the motion for the
adoption of the report, and it was agreed to. The
dividends, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, less
income-tax, were declared on the preference and
ordinary shares, and the proceedings terminated.

have had before them offers to purchase securities,
the proceeds of which would cover the balance.
They have, however, considered that the great in-
crease in the company's revenue justified the expec-
tation that higher prices would shortly be realised.
The net balance on the current hall-year's working
up to the 30th of September last was £94,045, as
against £57,125 for the corresponding month of
1864. The board are happy to announce the Par-
liament of Canada has confirmed the settlement of
the postal question made by the existing Govern-
ment. The accounts with the Canadian Government
from 1858 to this date are now being discussed ;
with a view to striking a final balance, and the Grand
Trunk Company will be indebted to the postal
bondholders for certain sums received in account
since 1862. So soon as the accounts are settled the
balance due from the Canadian Government will be
remitted to the account of the trustees of the
" Postal and Military Service Bonds," at Messrs.
Glyn, Mills, and Co., and a dividend will be de-
clared on or about the 31st of December, 1865 ;
subsequently all moneys received on account of
postal and military services will be remitted on re-
ceipt, and will be divided rateably at the end of each
half-year. The accounts, including the• Buffalo re-
ceipts, in each ease show an increase of gross re-
venue (taking the American currency at par in
both periods) over the corresponding half-year of
1864 of £31,847 ; but the charges against revenue
have increased by £34,493, mainly in the locomotive
and traffic department. The company's executive
report that the increase of working expenditure
arises mainly from exceptional causes. The increase
in the gross receipts from traffic from all sources,
including Grand Trunk proper, the leased lines, and
the Montreal and Champlain, and Buffalo and Lake
Huron lines, as compared with the corresponding
half-year of 1864, is equal to 5.40 per cent. Preli-
minary arrangements have b6en made in concert
with the Atlantic and Great Western Company with
a view to the early construction of an international
-bridge to connect the company's system at Fort Erie
with the City of Buffalo and the New York Central,
Erie, and Atlantic and Great Western Railways.
The net revenue of the company in 1859 amounted
to £73,357; in 1860 to £102,684; in 1861 to
£142,492 ; in 1862 to £170,233 ; in 1863 to
£315,036 ; and in 1864 to £349,487.

LAW INT

.This Day,

COURT OF DIVORCE.
THORNLEY T. THORNLEY.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
This was a suit instituted by the wife for dissolution of
marriage on the ground of adultery and desertion.
From the evidence it appeared that the respondent had
been a merchant at St. Petersburg, and married the peti-
tioner, who was a native of Hambro, at Bristol, in 1856.
After the marriage the petitioner was introduced into the
respondent's family until he left with his wife for St.
Petersburg, at which place he proposed to reside. They,
however, returned to this country for the pur-
pose of visiting the Exhibition, after which it
was deenied advisable that the wife should take
up her residence in Italy. The respondent regularly
transmitted remittances about the beginning of 1863, when
they suddenly ceased, and it was afterwards discovered
that the respondent had formed an improper intimacy with
a young girl in St. Petersburg. The petitioner had re-
ceived a letter from the respondent, expressing contrition
for his desertion, and requested her to abandon a name
which he had disgraced.
A number of witnesses having been examined, who
proved the allegations of the petitioner,
His Lordship pronounced a decree nisi.
HUTCHINSON V. HUTCHINSON AND BARKER.

This was a suit instituted by the husband for dissolution
of marriage, on the ground of adultery with the respon-
dent, a twine spinner at Hull.
From the evidence it appeared that the petitioner was a
seafaring man, and by great exertion he had raised himself
to the position of a master in the mercantile marine. In
1858 he discovered that his wife was carrying on an adul-
terous intercourse with the respondent, and afterwards the
present proceedings were instituted. In explanation of
the length of time that had elapsed between the separation
and the application to the Court, the petitioner said the
duration of his voyages, ho being engaged in the India and
China trade, prevented him.
His Lordship pronounced a decree nisi.
JARVIS V. JARVIS AND FULL.

This was a suit instituted by the husband against the
wife. The petitioner was in the Royal Marines, and during
his absence from England with his regiment in the West
Indies the circumstances occurred which led to the present
proceedings.
His lordship pronounced a decree nisi, with costs.
