LONDON, HOUNSLOW, AND
WESTERN RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.)
A spacial meeting cf the scripholders if this Company was
belt! to-day, at twelve o'clock, at the King's Arms Inn, New
Palace-yard, in pursuance with the resolutions recently agreed
to by the House of Commons. The chair was occupied by
Mr.:Barkly, M.P.

The SECRETARY having read the advertisement calling
the meeting,

The CUAIRMAN explained the object of the mectine:, which
was to ascertain the sense, of the scripholders on the Bill
submitted to Parliameit, and whether it was their desire to
proceed.
An irregular discussion ensued as to whether the merits
and present position of the Ccmpany should be discussed.
The CHAIRMAN was of opinion the or ly business that
could be entertained was the specific business stated in the
advertisement. What they had to do was to take the
amount of the scrip present, and whether the holders ap-
proved of proceeding with the Bill. The directors had came-
fully considered the resolutions of the House, and a solicitor
and counsel were in attendance, under whose advice they
were acting.

Mr. COO7iE, the barrister, stated that if only ten scrip-
holders were present it constituted a meeting. After the
vote was taken it was competent to adjourn, when the final
vote would be taken ; and if the number then was not suffi-
cient to constitute a legal meeting the Company would be at
an end. If the full number were present, and the majority
decided against proceeeing, the Company would equally be
closed. The business should be confined to the special ob-
ject of the meeting.
Mr. Mv.csoN, of Leeds, wished to know something of the
state of the Company; especially he wished to know how
many of the provisional directors had taken up the shares.
After some rather warm altercation,
Mr. llAttaasoz explained that the Board of Management
had each taken up 200 shares, which they paid on when they
were at a discount; several of the provisional directors had
not taken up their shares. The whole number of shares taken
up was 2,220. The original number of shares was 33,000.
A SHAREHOLDRiI wished to know the amount of expense
incurred. •

The ClimaxAN thought it would not be prudent just then
to state the amount, as it might be made a handle for the
opponents of the line. The old companies were now buying
up the scrip of the new companies, with the object of break-
ing them up. In the coarse of a week all the information
required would Le given.
Mr. MEGsos said a gentleman in Leeds had ascertained
from the secretary that the expenses had been 161., with
other liabilities.

The CHAIRMAN said that statement was not made with
authority.
_ _

A EIIARELIOLDER wished to know how the Company
stood before Parliament.

➢lr. llAnnzsox said most favourably. The Staines and
Richmond line bad broken down. The Great Western pro-
ject was destroyed yesterday, and they had every prospect of
success at present before the Select Committee, which be
expected would meet in another week.

After some discussion, of rather an exciting character, the
votes were taken and summed up, when there appeared,
Votes prestnt

Assents for proceeding with the Bill 12,340
Against it

Majority for proceeding
The CHAIRMAN said the assents were L.ore than sufficient
for compliance with the resolutions, 8,709 being sufficient
for that purpose, whereas they had upwards of 12,000.
After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting
separated.

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, OXFORD,
AND BL ETC HLEY JUNCTION RAILWAY
COMPANY.—(THIS DAY).
A special general meeting of the scripholders of the above
Company was held this afternoon, in pursuance of the ses-
sional orders of both Houses of Parliament, at the London
and Birmingham Railway Station, Euston-squaw., for the
purpose of approving or otherwise the following Bills, now
before Parliament, namely—a Bill for making a railway from
the London and Birmingham Railway, at Aldbury, in the
county of Hertford, to Banbury, in the county of Oxford
(Tring to Banbury); a Bill for making a. railway from Ox-
ford to the London and Birmingham Railway, at Bletchley,
in the county of Buckingham (Oxford to Bletchley).
The chair was occupied by Sir Harry Verney, Bart., but
a good deal of time being taken up with registering the
scrip, it was long after the meeting had assembled before
the business of the day was entered upon.
The CHAIRMAN said, that the first Bill on the list was
the Oxford and Bletchley, which had already passed the
Committee of the House of Commons. The line had great
intrinsic merits, but independently of that it was supported
by the landowners cf the district, and aided by the co-
operation and assistance of the London and Birmingham
Company. He was sure that the meeting would have
no hesitation in agreeing to the resolution to
proceed with the Bill, and he begged to move
one accordingly.
The resolution having been seconded by the Hon. Mr.
PIEREPOINT, was put to the vote and carried unnanimously.
The Honourable CHAIRMAN said, that the next Bill was
for making a line from Tring to Banbury: it had not yet been
committed, but it stood in a group, which was appointed for
Tuesday, the 19th. He had no doubt, but that like the
other it would be carried, for the two schemes that were op-
posed to it were already defunct, and the other scheme in
the Committee in no way competed with the present line.
The resolution was then carried unanimously.
Mr. I.Ewm MosEt.v moved a vote of thanks to the Chair-
man, which having been acknowledged, the meeting sepa-
rated.

EAST LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY

(THIS DAY.)
A special general meeting of the scripholders in this un-
dertaking, was held this afternoon, in pursuance of the
sessional orders of Parliament, at the Crown and Anchor
Tavern, in the Strand, Lord Worsley, Chairman of the Com-
mittee of Management, in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said there could be no doubt as to the
merits of the line, for it received the support of nearly every
influential person and landholder of the various dis-
tricts through which it passed. The preamble bad
already been proved before a Committee of the House
of Commons, and in his opinion it would be madness to
abandon a scheme with such magnificent prospects. He
regretted, however, to state that there was not a sufficient
quantity of scrip in the room to constitute a meeting, but if
any shareholdtr present required any information he should
be most happy to give it.
A SHAREUOLDJU asked what expenses had been incurred
by the Company.
The CHAIRMAN replied is. 6d. per share; and, considering
the opposition they had had to contend with, that was con-
sidered vely small.—(Bear, hear.)
A vote of thanks having been passed to the chairman, the
solicitors, and the engineer, for their past exertions, the
meeting was adjourned till Wednesday next.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius.)
BEALE V. MOULDS AND OTHERS.
This was an action taken by the plaintiff to recover the
amount of a steam-boiler, made by him for the use of de-
fendant, who contended that there bad been a breach of con-
tract, inasmuch as that the boiler was not made at the time
agreed up or.
The jury found for the defendant.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
Several cases were disposed of in this Court to-day, but
none of them were of the least interest. One was an action
for slander, taken by a police superintendent in Leeds, for a
letter written of him, in which he was charged with conduct
unfit for publication ; but the case was held over for the
appearance of defendant's counsel.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi P,ius.)
HENDON V. STRAY.
This was an action for assault and false imprisonment.
The plaintiff was a dancing master, and the defendant a
tailor. They had had mutual dealings, and upon the
plaintiff demanding the balance in his favour, defendant used
ill language to him, assaulted Lim, and gave him in charge
to the police.
The jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 403.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

WILSON V. BARFORD.

This was what is called a " running down" case. The
plaintiff was an omnibus proprietor and the defendant the
owner of a rublic coach. A collision took place between the
two on the night of the Ist of January last at Woodland-
street, when the plaintiff alleged that his vehicle sustained
considerable damage.

(The case had not closed when our report left.)

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner BumocK.)
NAGLE V. TR PP.

This was an action to recover 013 small sum of 2/. ss, for
work done for the defendant.

Mr. RYLAND stated the case. Both parties are pianoforte
makers, and the defendant had been employed to repair a
grand piano for a lady named Defolie, for which he charged
18!.. Plaintiff had been engaged to do a particular portion of
the work, for which he charged 2/. ss, and it was not until
after the action was commenced that the defendant offered
to pay 2!. without costs.
Witnesses were called who proved that the work had been
cone, and that it was worth more than the sum charged.
AR attorney was proceeding to address the jury, but was
stopped by the Learned Commissioner, who said that he
could not be heard, as he was not the attorney on the record.
The attorney said that he had retained Mr. Thomas as
counsel.
The COURT—But you could not do so. No person has the
privilege of retaining counsel but the attorney on the record.
The defendant had appeared and pleaded in person, and
ought to have attended the trial in person. No counsel
would, in a civil suit, take a brief except from the attorney
on the record. _ _

Mr. RYLAND said he would not press the case strictly, but
admit• the attorney to be heard.
Ultimately the jury gave a verdict for the full amount
claimed.

E CSO RED SE
RS,
WANTED AN ALDERMAN—A SCENE IN COURT.--ThiS
morning, at ten o'clock, the grand jury were called, but the
Court could not proceed with business, as there were only
two Aldermen on the bench. After waiting for an hour, the
jury complained of being detained so long. They considered
it a great neglect of duty on the part of the Aldermen, and
it was high time that some strict rule should be laid down;
and they hoped the neglect would be exposed, and the sub-
ject taken up by the public press.
One of the petty jury asked whether their names could
not be called over, so that those not required might leave?
The COURT said they could not. It was necessary that
the grand jury should be sworn in first, and that could not be
done until the Court was sitting, and that could not be until
another Alderman arrived.
A juror—Then must we all wait because one Alderman
does not attend? Ile ought to be called on a penalty, as we
are —(Laughter.)
One of the petit jury—If there, is no Court, there is no
power to compel us to stay, and if the grand jury will leave,
we will.
Several took their hats to leave, when Sir Wm. Magnay
enter( d.

Alderman Gums said the observations of the jury were.
very unpleasant. Sir Wm. Magnay was a volunteer in this
Case.

The names on the list for the day were Aldermen Kelly,
Sir J. Ley, Giblv, lituopherY, Hooper, Hunter, 4n4 Moon.

After hearing two or three cases of assault, Alderman
Magnay left. The parties not being ready on the appeal
cases, _ _

The RECORDER said the cases must stand adjourned.
Amongst them were Alderman Moon v. the Poor-rates of
Mildred, Cornhill, and the Committee] of Lloyd's in a
similar case.

BOW-STREET.-{THIS DAY.)

THE ATTEMPTED MURDER IN DRURY-LANE.

John Graham was brought before Mr. Henry this day fur
the third time, when he was again defended by Mr.
Humphreys.
Mr. Dancombe, the surgeon of King's College Hospital,
said that Blewitt was in a very weak state, but he had still
some hopes of his recovery. There was no mortification, but
a great discharge of matter.
Mr. Humphreys said lie was very glad to hear this ac-
count of shat he thought, from public report, was otherwise.
Mr. HENRY—The grand jury meet cn Monday. It is rot
likely they will bdidischarged till Thursday. I will remand
the prisoner till Wednesday, and by that time, if he is still
alive, and it is still uncertain whether he will recover or not,
the prisoner must be again remanded; otherwise, there will
still be time for the sessions, and I will fix it at 12 o'clock, in
order to be sure of being in time.

GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND RAT LwAY.-T his
ll:east-re is now in committ(e—witnesses, counsel, estimates,
and traffic tables being in great demand. We subjoin from
The Sun (in which paper particular attention is given to
railway proceedings) a report of the evidence hitherto ad-
duced. The Perth and Inverness agents are preparing for a
similar struggle, and the witnesses have again been sum-
moned to London.—lnverness Courier.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, MAY B.—We have to
report:a large supply of wheat, and fair of other grain. To-
day there was a very thin attendance of millers, and the de-
mand for wheat was limited to their immediate wants.
Prices of all descriptions of wheat must be noted Is. to 2s.
per quarter lower. Considering the advanced state or the
sason, fine barley met with a good inquiry at previous rates.
Beans sold easily en fully as good terms. Oats and shelling
each in slow request at barely former rates. Malt firm.

The exportation of donlieys has commenced. As in
former years, they are intended for a Dutch settlement in
the West Indies. The Emerald Isle, for Rotterdam, on Wed-
nesday, took out five speciniens of the English breed.
COLOSSAL STATUE OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—
Preparations- have commenced at Hyde Park Corner (oppo-
site Apsley House), for the erection of Mr. Wyatt's eques-
trian statue of the Duke of Wellington. The metal weighs
50 tons. The: Duke will appear in a field marshal's uniform,
and a small military cloak.
Prince Albert has fixed Monday next for laying the
first stone of the Seamen's Church in Dock-street, and on
that occasion the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, the
Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and other public authorities, will be
in attendance to receive the Prince. The service will be per-
formed by the Bishop of London, and a very considerable
number of the subscribers and friends to this important un-
dertaking will be present. A large marquee has been erected
to cover the area, which is calculated to contain 600 persons.
IMPROPER USE OF FIRE-.ARMS.-011 Thursday af-
ternoon the family of Mr. Field, a gentleman residing at
No. 3, Ladbroke place, Notting-hill, were thrown into a state
of indescribable alarm and confusion by the following occur-
rence. It apeears that shortly after five o'clock, just as Mr.
and Mrs. Field, who have a family of children, had risen from
the dinner table in the front parlour, they were alarmed by
the sudden report of fire-arms, and the instant crash of glass
proceeding from the parlour window, the blind of which was
down. Mr. Field immediately rushed into the street to as-
certain the cause, when he found that Mr. Henry Adridge
Rice , a gentleman residing at No. 2, Ladbroke-place East,
which is nearly opposite Mr. Field's residence, had fired a
gun loaded with shot at a cat which was on the wall of his
garder, the charge from which had entered the window of
Mr. Field's house.

CITY OF LONDON GENEBAL PENSION SOCIETY.--
The Worshipful Company of Drapers have presented, through
the master, Thomas Dickinson, Esq , the munificent gift of
50 uineas to this charity. The Grocers' Company have
ccnt ;hated 50/.

ooT liAcE —Yesterday the running match between
Mills and Doverty was run at Turnbam-green, and won by
the latter. The distance was live hundred yards, the
stakes 101.

PUGILISM—On Thursday night (after the choice of
ground for the contest of Norley and Gill had been decided),
ten pounds a side was deposited for a fight for 400/., to take
place in three months, between John Perry, the Nova Scotia
black (who defeated Burton of Leicester). and a man to be
named by Broome, at the signing of the articles, on Thurs-
day next (May 14th). We may observe that, by mutual
censent. (;aunt was excepted, and no small speculation has
been excited in pugilistic circles to know who is the heavy
weight prepared to enter the lists with the stalwart sable
gladiator.

REDUCTION OF THE HOURS OF LABOUR.-011 Thurs-
day night a numerous meeting of the garment dyers of
London was held at Caldwell's Assembly Rooms, Dean-
street, Soho, for the purpose of memorialising the master
dyers, for a reduction in the hours of labour. Resolutions to
that effect were adopted.
STEAM-BOAT ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning as the
Waterman steam-packet No. 2 was getting under way at the
Woolwich pier, with passengers for London, the Niobe, an
opposition steamer, which left the lower pier at the same
time, in attempting to pass, ran into the Waterman, and
forced her athwart-hawse of the bulk lying off the deck-
yard. The Waterman's paddle-box, fore stancheon, and rail
were carried away, and several passengers were knocked
down by the concussion. The Waterman was crippled by
the collision, and the steamer, No. 1, belonging to the same
company, took out her passengers, and conveyed them to
Loudon. The Niobe, which caused the mischief; did not sus-
tain any material damage.
RUSSIAN TREATMENT OF BANKRUPTS.—The Emperor
of Russia has, by an ukase dated the 20th of April, promul-
gated in the form of a commercial code, a law upon failures
and brankruptcies. The law is borrowed from the French
code, the only essential difference being the severe punish-
ment inflicted on bankrupts,who are condemned to perpetual
banishment to Siberia.

RAILWAY ACROSS GREENWICH PARR.-The Lords
of the Admiralty have at length given their consent to a
railway passing across Greenwich Park. Such a scheme,
however; cannot obtain Parliamentary sanction this year, as
the South-Eastern Company, in despair of obtaining the per-
mision of the Admiralty, had abandoned that part of their
line to Woolwich. The objection at first urged to a line of
railway across the park, was the apprehended disturbance
of the observations at Greenwich Observatory by the vibra-
tion of the passing trains; but subsequent experiments are
said to have proved that the vibration cannot produce any
sensible effect at the distance of the proposed railway from
the Observatory.
An accident of very common occurrence to children
happened to his Royal Highness Prince Alfred a few days
since. His Royal Highness was leaving Buckingham Palace
for an airing in one of the royal carriages, when his hand got
accidentally caught in the door, by which two of his fingers
were slightly lacerated.
THE MONUMENT TO SOUTHEY.—A tardy act of jus-
tice has been done to one of the greatest men of his day by
the erection of a motaiment to Robert Southey, in Westmin-
ster Abbey. The monument, which was completed yester-
day, consists of a plain entablature, containing the name of
the poet, the periods of his birth and death, and surmounted
by his bust. It is but an appropriate compliment that this
monument is placed near that of Shikspere, and, of course,
amongst those of the greatest English poets. This tribute
to the memory of Southey is conspicuously placed in West-
minster Abbey, as the tribute ought to be to ene who so
truly served the cause not only of literature, but of religion
anal the Church.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON BOARD HER MAJESTY'S
Situ' TRAFALGAR—On ➢ionday last, when the crew •of the
Trafalgar, now lying at Spithead, were engaged in weighing
anchor for a short cruise in the presence of the Lords of the
Admiralty, the capstan made a charge, striking to the ground
with great violence all the men employed at it and seriously
wounding no less than seven persons. One of the sufferer!
had both thighs fractured in a frightful manner, the splintered
bones protruding through the skin. Two sustained fractures
of the ribs. Another was much hurt in the back, and the
remainder were injured about the head. The men were
quickly removed; and in the afternoon they were sent to the
hospital. Fatal results are feared in one or two cases.

A CONFIRMED DESERTER.— Matthew Byrne. dmsed
in the unform of the ioyalArtillery, was taken on Thursday,
at Chatham, under an escort of the 65th, and placed before
the county magistrates at Rochester as deserter from the
44th Regiment. The prisoner deserted from the 44th Beg''
meet at Dublin on the 20th of September, 1845, and enlisted
into the 65th, and on the march with a batch of recruits, t°
join the head-quarters at Chatham, the prisoner deserted and;
enlisted again, in March last, in the 7th battalion of the Roym-
Artillery, at 'Woolwich, from which corps he deserted again
on the 6th of April, and went to Chatham about three weeks
ago, and delivered himself up, as being a deserter, to Sergeant
Thomas Hawkins, of the 65th. The prisoner has been con"
fined ever since; and the reason for his not being brought
before the magistrates ere this was on account of a corres-
pondence entered into by the 65th to the Horse Guards and
tho Board of Ordnance respecting hint. The prisoner was
committed to Maidstone Gaol to await an order from the
Horse Guards for his removal to his regiment (the 44th),
which is stationed at Newry.

ticket, which each pauper is expected to exhibit on making
application for their allowance. The Mayor, therefore, inti:

observed—Your conduct in the case of this poor woman, Dlo'f

The Committee of the London and York Shareholders, finding
that the Directors without consulting the Shareholders, or calling a
public meeting to, ascertain their senthnents, have entered into ar-
rangements by which the Shareholders will be sacrificed unless they
protect themselves, beg to call attention to the following terms of
amalgamation which they have arranged with the Eastern Counties
Company, subject to the approval of Parliament.
let. That if the London and York Bill shall not pass into a law,
And the Extension line to York of the Eastern Counties Company be
sanctioned by Parliament, in the present or next session, the share-
holders In the London and York Company who shall assent to the
amalgamation prior to the decision of Parliament on the Bill, shall
be entPled to one Eastern Counties (York Extension) Share of 151.,
in respect of each 50/. share in the London and York Company, and
of each two Loudon and York Extension Shares of 251.
That each such Share of 151. shall, when so issued, be credited
with the deposit of ten shillings, as having been paid thereon.
The Committee with the greatest confidence appeal to the Share-
holders, collectively, sad individually, whether the terms of this amal •
gamation be not far preferable for their interests to those announced
by the Birectors of the London and York Company on the sth of
May, as having taken place with the Direct Northern Company.
The advertisement of the London and York Company, calling for
the Scrip to be brought in and indorsed with the terms of amalga-
tion with the Direct Northern Company, is evidentlY for the purpose
of informing Parliament what number of assents to that amalgama-
tion have been given. In like manner, and for the like purpose the
Committee request the Shareholders to produce the Scrip to their Com-
mutes, at

EYE-BROWS, MOUSTACHES, and WI-lis-
t:A KERS produced in a few weeks by using an essential Spirit
drawn from choice Aromatic Herbs, the peculiar properties of
which are known only to the Inventor, and although perfectly inno-
cent in itself, will produce new Hair on bald places, caused by weak-
ness of constitution, or where Nature has not bestowed this orna-
ment of the human figure. It has been known to many of the Nobi-
.ity and Gentry upwards of eleven years, some of whom the Inven-
tor most sincerely thanks for their attestation of its merits, in the
certainty ef restoring Hair and giving it additional lustre and
strength. Its virtues are manifold—it prevents the Hair from fall-
ing off or turning gray; a few drops on the crown of the head will
remove the most distressing pain in that part produced by or at-
tended with faintness; and is acknowledged by the Faculty as the
only specific known to cure that disease of the head called Porigo
de ealvans (which causes the Hair to come oft in patches) ; a few
applications remove' dandruff. This wonderful discovery is fully ex-
plained in a pamphlet, containing testimonials to its regenerating
new Hair upon bald places, entitled, " Three Minutes' Advice on the
Growth and Preservation ef the Human Hair," by W. Grimstone,
Inventor of the Aromatic Regenerator for the Growth ef the Human
Hair, and a certain preventative of headache and fainting ; also a
toilet perflime—bearing the Inventor's signature, Herbary, High-
