ALLOTMENT OF SHARES.

---- -
In Vice-Chancellor James's Court a motion was made
on behalf of a gentleman named M'lllwraith to restrain
the Dublin Trunk Connecting Railway Company from
taking action ac'ainst him in respect to 500 shares in that
company. By the prospectus it was stated that before the
shares should vest in any allottee one-fifth of the amount
should be paid. The plaintiff did not comply with that
condition, as he was applied to for payment of the arrears
due on his shares, and it was stated that in the event of
his not doing so legal proceedings would be adopted
against him ; but he wrote denying that he was a share-
holder, or that he had given any authority to have his name
entered as such. An action was commenced againt him,
but was abandoned. Other legal proceedings were taken
against the plaintiff, and to them the present motion
was made. The defence was, that the plaintiff had
signed proxies for the scrip he had received. The Vice-
Chancellor granted an injunction until the further hearing
of the case.

A. collision occurred a few days back at Charleroi,
on the Great Central Railway of Belgium,. between a pas-
sengers' and a goods train. The two engines and several
waggons were crushed to pieces, and one carriage was
thrown down the embankment, fifty feet high. Two
persons were killed, and several others seriously hurt.
The Epoca, of Madrid, states that the Queen of
Portugal has gained great popularity among all classes at
Lisbon, because she is believed to be hostile to Marshal
de Saldanha. But such is not the case with her husband,
King Louis. As to his father, Don Fernando, he keeps
himself completely apart from politics.
TUE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH TO INDIA.—Last
evening a large assembly was held at Mr. Pander's resi-
dence, A rlington-street, Piccadilly, to inagurate the
opening of the submarine telegraphic communication
between England and India. The Prince of Wales
honoured the party with his presence, and invitations
were issued to the whole of the foreign Ambassadors and
ministers in England, to a representative of every country,
and to some hundreds of the aristocracy. During the
evening messages were forwarded to the Viceroy of India,
the President of the United States, and to many leading
persons in Europe, to which replies were returned in a
brief period.

rADVERTISEMENT.- Holloway's Ointment and Pills.--
Colds, Influenza-- ntil within a very few years these
complaints were treated with blood-letting, blistering,
and emetic. Now a more rational method of cure has
been adopted. Holloway's Ointment and Pills purify,
heal, and strengthen. They never weaken the body, nor
disconcert the nervous system. Depletion doubtless
arrested these diseases, but at the same time it took away
nature's means of restoration. Holloway's remedies, on
the contrary, while working the cure are laying the foun-
dation for perfect recovery, not only of the afflicted, but
every other organ. Holloway's preparations are also the
best preservatives against the whole list of winter ail-
ments ; they throw out impurities and preserve the vital
principle from disease, or lead it back to health.

THE ACTION AGAINST GOVERNOR EYRE.
Yesterday the Court of Error, composed of the Lord Chief
Baron, Barons Martin and Channel', and Justices Willes
and Smith, gave judgment in the case of Phillips v. Eyre.
It will be remembered that this was an action for false
imprisonment and for personal injuries sustained by the
plaintiff in the island of Jamaica during the insurrec-
tion. The defendant was governor of the island, and the
persons acting under his authority had arrested the
plaintiff when the island was in a state of
rebellion. An Act had been passed which
gave an indemdity from civil process to all parties who had
acted in good faith to suppress the rebellion. The question
now before the court (and on which the Court of Queen's
Bench had given judgment for the defendant) was whether
a right of action lay against the governor for injuries sus-
tained by the plaintiff.
Mr. Justice Wines delivered a verylong and elaborate judg-
ment in which the Court unanimously affirmed the decree
of the court below in favour of the defendant. By
the common law it was the duty of every citizen to do
his utmost to maintain order ; and whatever
he did honestly and in good faith, his acts would be sup-
ported and justified. A person entrusted with the
government of a colony and preserving the lives and pro-
' perty of the people had a most hazardous task to perform
when open rebellion broke out, and to hesitate or tem-
porise might bring about disastrous consequences. By
acting at once a governor might save life and property
out of all proportion to the mistakes he made. The
danger once over, every measure he had effected might be
challenged as violent and unnecessary at the suit of indivi-
duals, and the Governor would have to establish the legality
of his action. That might be hazardous and ruinous to the
Governor ; but it was perfectly within the competence
of the Legislature to declare such acts legal ; and this
was what had been done in the present case by the act of
indemnity in question. The learned judge then went
into all the authorities, and after disposing of the objec-
tions raised by the counsel for plaintiff (Mr. Quain,
Q.C.), his lordship announced the judgment of the
Court below to be right. Governor Eyre is thus released
from all pains and penalties.
