Ross, and Glocester line remained uncompleted, these I
call payments were not prOductive of any return. This
circumstance necessarily depreciated the dividend of the
company, and would continue to do so until the Here-
ford line was finished ; but as the works on that line
were being pressed forward with great vigour, there was
reason to believe that the opening throughout would
take place in the summer or autumn of next year, and
this company, in common with the other shareholders
on that line, would then receive a dividend upon the ca-
pital therein embarked. The main importance, how-
ever, of an early through opening of the line to Here-
ford arose from the increase which would then take
place in the amount of rent receivable from the Great
Western Railway Company.
The CHAIRMAN moved the usual resolutions for the
adoption and printing of the report, the affixing the
seal to the register of the proprietors, and the declara-
tion of a dividend of 4 per cent, per annum, for the year
ending Juno 30. A fourth resolution re-elected Messrs.
G. Jones and W. H. K. Gibbon, directors, on retiring
by rotation. In putting these resolutions to the meet-
ing the chairman answered some questions put by one
of the shareholders. He explained that the Great West-
ern Company guaranteed a rent of 41,- per cent. up to the
opening of the Hereford, Ross, and Glocester line, when
it would be increased ; that 41- per cent. was now paid
to this company, and the reason why the shareholders
only got 4 per cent, was that the other half per cent. was
applied to pay expenses of management and loss of inte-
rest on the 15,6251. lent to the Hereford, Ross, and
Glocester Company. Although this company was re-
ceiving a rental, they were obliged to keep up an estab-
lishment and officers.
Mr. WHITOOMBR remarked, that the Great Western
Company did not guarantee this company a clear 41
per cent. There were certain expenses which the share-
holders had to pay out of it.

or educating the minds of the children ; and now she
had set on foot an institution that had been so well de-
' scribed as fitted for " children of larger growth." He
need only refer to her exertions in connection with the
school, and the display at the Hall that day, which
spoke so much for her kind heart and modest spirit ;
but these qualities were so well known to them all that
he felt it superfluous longer to detain them, and would
conclude by proposing "Health, long life, and prosperity
to the Most Noble the Marchioness of Londonderry."
(Great applause.) The toast was drunk with the greatest
enthusiasm.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, in acknowledging the ,
toast, said if anything could give her ladyship more
pleasure than another it would be the manner in which
her health, and humble exertions, had been received
among them. She might have momentary fancies, but
he could declare before God that her happiness was more
bound up in the people of Wynyard and Seaham than in
all the rest of the family estates. (Cliecri.)
The Rev. A. BETHUNE proposed "The health of Lord
Seaham "—a name and a nobleman whom it was unne-
cessary to comment upon to secure a warm reception.
(Cheers, and cries of " A canny fellow.")
Lord SEAHAM thanked them for the flattering manner
in which Mr. Bethune's toast had been received. It was
always a source of the greatest gratification to him to
be of service to any portion of the county, and it would
be his aim, when the good people of Seaham and the
neighbourhood were concerned, to follow the example
of his respected parents, for he believed that he could
say without exaggeration that such an object had been
with them their dearest idol. (Cheers.) And he would
at least be like them in this respect—tell candidly and
openly what he had to tell. He had closer ties to bind
him to Seaham than even the ties of birth • and he ex-
pressed a hope, that if he had gained Many friends
among his large constituency, he had not made a single
enemy. (Cheers.) His lordship would conclude by
proposing " Prosperity to the Seaham Harbour Water
Works." They had now got them in order, and he hoped
they would keep them in it. (Cheers, and laughter.)
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, in a few words, pro-
, posed "The health of Mr. Rutherford," to which that
gentleman responded. The water had been brought to
the town, he said, on the 2d of July, but the works
could not be said to be fairly completed till now, when
the shipping of the port was supplied with it. He con-
sidered the scheme in a position to bring a good per-
centage to the shareholders.
Mr. H. S. SPEED proposed, in appropriate terms,
"The health of Lady Seaham," to which Lord Seaham
responded.
Mr. W. WIGHT proposed "The Coal Trade," to
which Mr. HINDHAUGH responded.
Mr. WAKENSHAW proposed "Prosperity to the Lon-
donderry Seaham and Sunderland Railway," to which
the noble marquis responded. He was going, he said,
to take leave of them in a few days for another country,
which, he was glad to say, now showed signs of return-
ing reason and quiet. Radicalism and the ballot, tenant
right as opposed to landlord right, and other nonsense,
had all their day in Ireland ; but their ancient loyalty
was once more arousing them, and he hoped they would

THAMES.—Janes Boyd, a sawyer, of No. 7, Upper
Mary-street, Bromley, was brought up yesterday on re-
mand charged with assaulting his wife, Ellen Boyd, to
whom he had been married 18 years, and whom he had
frequently beaten in a most cowardly and savage man-
ner. The police had frequently interposed for the pro-
tection of the unfortunate wife ; but although he had
been brought to this court before, she had absented her-
self, and he was discharged. Last Thursday he struck
her with an adze and inflicted serious injuries upon her.
The prisoner had brought home a strumpet with whom
lie passed the night, while his wife and his children oc-
cupied another room, and this flagrant act of indecency
and immorality led to a quarrel and the prisoner vio-
lently assaulting his wife.
The prisoner, in his defence, said, his wife was an
habitual drunkard, and had committed adultery with
another man named James Pritchard, whom lie had
found lying on his bed on Sunday in the daytime.
This man was summoned as a witness, and he said he
had been invited to dine by the prisoner himself, and,
being sleepy, preferred a nap on his bed, on which lie
threw himself, and when he awoke the prisoner was in
the room having his dinner. He denied most emphati-
cally that any improper intercourse had taken place be-
tween him and Mrs. Boyd.
Mr. Yardley said, that although the woman was net
blameless, he must effectually deter the prisoner from
continuing to inflict such cowardly and savage assaults
upon her, and he sentenced him to four months' im-
prisonment and hard labour.

LAMBETH.—Mr. George Tyer, a young man of
gentlemanly appearance, who holds a lucrative situation
in a public office, attended, in discharge of his bail, to
meet a charge of stealing a diamond ring, of the value of
51., the property of Rachael Israel, of No. 9, Hanover-
court, Hart-street, Covent-garden.
From the evidence of the complainant, a fat, frowsy-
looking Jewess, it appeared that, while at V -
gardens, the accused invited her to have a with
him, and during the dance she felt her ring going off her
right hand. She accused the prisoner with taking the
ring, and gave him into custody on that charge, but she
did not wish to press it. In reply to the questions of
the magistrate, the witness acknowledged that the ac-
cused had not made the slightest effort to move away,
but, on the contrary, had offered to submit to a search,
and had assisted her in looking about the place for the
ring, believing she had dropped it.
Mr. Gunn, the clerk, drew the magistrate's attention
to the fact, that though the hand of the prosecutrix was
very fat and very coarse, yet the finger joints were very
small, so that the ring would have easily slipped off by
the pressure of the hand itself.
The magistrate was thoroughly satisfied the accused
was entirely innocent of the charge, and at once dis-
missed The a
itc.cused expressed his determination to bring an
action for damages against his accuser, and left the court
in company with hi:friends.
