LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF EXcHEQUER.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius before Mr. Baron Martin and a

Common Jury.)
ATKINS V. HIND.

The plaintiff in this case is a lace manufacturer of
Nottingham, and the defendant is a bill-sticker of the
same place, and the action was brought to recover
damages for malicious libels which the defendant had
published against the plaintiff by pasting bills about the
town reflecting on the plaintiff's conduct as a master.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages
1501.

ABERDEEN RAILWAY COMPANY.

HALF•YEA.RLY MEETING TFIIS DAY.

This afternoon the half-yearly general meeting of the
shareholders in this company was held at Radley's Hotel,
Fleet-street ; Mr. Alex. Pixie, deputy-chairman of the
Board, presiding.

The report, which has been published, was taken as
read.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said that he felt happy to state to the proprietors that
the preamble of the bill with which they were now before
P..r:iaraent, was yesterday proved, now the amalAamation
between the Scottish Midland and the Aberdeen com-
panies would take place, the Dundee and Arbroath
line being worked between them. He was happy
to state that there had been a continually increasing
revenue every halt year ; but he regretted to add, that
during the past half year that had been absorbed with
the exception of 5001. by the necessity that had arisen
for providing new engines, &c., the Scottish Midland
having refused any longer to work the Aberdeen line.
After some further remarks on matters of detail, he
concluded by moving the following resolutions :-
1. That the report of the directors and statement of
accounts be received and adopted.
2. That the directors be authorised to pay a dividend
at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum upon the six per
cent. preference stock of the company for the half-year
ending 30th April current, and that the said payment
be made to the holders of such stock on the 15th of
May ensuing.
3. That the directors be authorised to issue deferred
dividend warrants to the holders of the 7 per cent, pre-
ference stock of the company, for the half-year's dividend
falling due thereon on the Ist of May ensuing.
Mr. STERLING having seconded the resolutions, they
were unanimously adopted ; and the meeting, which oc-
cupied only a few minutes, then separated.

THE ATTEMPTED MURDERS IN
RUPERT-STREET.

FRIDAY NlGHT.—During the whole of the day the
police connected with every metropolitan division were
actively employed in endeavouring to apprehend the in-
tended assassin, but without success. Nearly every cat 6
in the metropolis wee visited and inquiries made as to
whether any one resembling the accused had applied the
previous night to be accommodated with lodgings, and
during those inquiries it was ascertained that the fellow
lodged at the house of a widow lady named Burton, No.
40, SJuth-street, Hercules-buildings, Lambeth, imme-
diately facing the public house known as the Marquis of
Wellington, the property of Mr. G. Hills.
It has since been ascertained that the man the police
are in search of, after committing the dreadful deeds,
proceeded at once to the above public house in the com-
pany of another Italian, and having rapidly pushed by
several persons standing at the bar, they took their seats
in the parlour. One of the two called for a pot of porter,
and Mr. Adamson, the beadle of Lambeth, noticed that
the man was greatly excited and tremulous, and could
scarcely hold the measure in his band. After sitting in
the room for some time the man left, and proceeded
direct to his own lodging, and got up about a quarter to
eight, and left without making any particular remark to
his landlady. Who the man was who accompanied him
to the Marquis of Wellington is not known ; but it is
believed that he was a fellow-workman of the accuse I,
who is stated to have been in the employment of the
same gentleman—viz., Mr. Bernau, patent-envelope
manufacturer for wine bottles, near the Westminster-
road. The landlady of the house in which the man re-
sided, not knowing anything of the dreadful crime com-
mitted by him, according to her usual custom ever since
the man took lodgings at her house, commenced to get
his dinner ready; but not finding him return at the usual
hour, she happened to make a remark to some persons
living in the street of that circumstance, and found,
for the first time, the cause of his absenting him-
self. It has also been ascertained that he never
went to his employment yesterday ; and from the
inquiries since made it is strongly believed that
he is located somewhere about Francis-street,
Westminster-road, or in the neighbourhood of Gerard-
street.
The police, apprehending that it is possible he may,
during the night, return to his lodgings, three detective
police-officers in plain clothes have been placed on duty
in the large club-room of the Marquis of Wellington, so
as to be a►►le to keep a good look-out in the event of the
assassin making his appearance in the street so that
they can at once pounce upon him, and take him into
custody.
From all the inquiries that have been instituted it ap-
pears that the deed was premeditated, and that it com-
menced in what is termed by some persons an affair of
honour, arising oul of card-playing. The assassin fre-
quently stated that be had been wronged whilst playing,
with the injured men, and what he terms his confede•
rates ; but no threat was ever held out by him to indi-
cate at the moment that he contemplated killing any of
them. But after the manner he acted on Thnrsday
night, and the desperate means he adopted, there can
be not the least doubt but that the crime had been long
premeditated ; the mere fact of carrying on his person
such a deadly weapon as a stiletto clearly proved that he
contemplated the destruction of human life.
Last night a better description of the accused than ap-
peared in our journal was published by the police. It states
that ho was about 24 years of age, 5 feet 8 inches high.
Hair, brown ; small moustache ; small beard, and
whiskers rather short. Was dressed in a grey paletot,
very short ; black trousers, and brown waistcoat ;
and a black felt " wide-a-wake" hat, which he left
behind.

Ile had been living up to the last three weeks in an
Italian-house, in Baldwin's-gardens, Leather-lane, and
is well known to his countrymen in that locality, so that
if the principal sufferer should die, and a reward should
be offered by Government for the apprehension of the
guilty person, there is ne doubt he will be quickly
pointed out to the police.
An escape by the steam-boats or railways is next to
an impossibility, as policemen have been despatched to
every seaport town and railway station to watch whether
any one answering to the above descriptio❑ attempts to
leave London or any of the seaports in the kingdom.
No event that has occurred for several years at the
west end of London has created such a fearful amount
of excitement as the present.

LATEST PARTICULARS.
On inquiring at Charing-cross Hospital this afternoon,
at two o'clock, our reporter was informed that Carlo
Rouelli was considerably better, and that the other
three wounded persons were progressing favourably.
Up to two o'clock the police had not succeeded in
capturing Foschini.

LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS COMPANY.—This Com-
pany, by way of introducing the French omnibus "cor-
respondence" system to the inhabitants of this metropo-
lis, commenced it on Monday morning last upon their
Barnet line. The Royal Mail omnibuses (formerly the
property of Mr. M`Narnara) ply between the Post-office
and Barnet four times a-day, via Aldersgate-street,
Johne3ireet-road, Islington, Highbury, Holloway, High-
gate, Finehley, and Whetstone. Hitherto passengers
have been carried by them on the direct line only, at
Is. 6d. for inside and ls. for outside places, and any per-
son desiring to go to any other part of town than that
in the immediate route of the Barnet omnibus has had
either to walk or take another vehicle and pay a further
fare. By the new arrangement the 18. 6d. and
L.
includes the right of conveyance to Chelsea, Picca-
dilly, Westminster, Strand, any part of the New-road,
or City-road, London-bridge, or Fenchurcb-street, the
only stipulation being that the passenger asks for a
"correspondence ticket" when he pays the Barnet con-
ductor his fare. The changing stations from the Barnet
omnibus to those for Strand, Westminster, City-road,
Loudon-bridge, and Fenchurch-street, are at the com-
pany's (late Wilson's) yard at Highbury ; and for Re-
gent-street, Piccadilly, Chelsea, or New-road at the
Angel, Islington. The system of tickets adopted is
similar to that used on railways. We understand that it
is the intention of the company to test the system on
this line of road for a short time, with a view to its in-
troduction at an early date in connection with the Ed-
monton, Woodford, and other suburban districts.
THE NEW IRON AND GLASS MUSEUM AT BROMPTOI;
—This museum is 266 feet long, 126 feet wide, and is in
three equal spans, covered by three elliptical roofF, all at
the same height from the ground,.like three huge boilers
placed side by side. The shell is formed of flat iron
uprights, filled in with boarding. Its ugliness is unmiti-
gated ; never was a beautiful sward, where the dasies
blossom and trees and shrubs put forth their leaves and
branches and flowers in forms of beauty unapproachable
by man, so vilely disfigured. We
.know nothing with
which to compare it. No squatter in the back woods,
no New Zealand sava,ge, would erect a structure so
utterly and indefensibly ugl.y. If the Marlborough-
house authorities retain their Chamber of Horrors—
their examples of " what to a,void, when they get into
their new quarters—Mr. Coles. first act must be to have a
model ma de of this museum itself.—The Builder.
CURIOUS DISCOVERY.—On
.Thursday last, as the sex-
ton of Worksop Church vas digging a grave near to the
porch, he found, about two feet from the surface, a
human skull, having an arrow-head, very much cor-
nded, 21 inches in length, inserted on the right side.
It appears to have penetrated the skull full two inches,
the socket of the arrow, about three-quarters of an inch
long, alone protruding from the exterior. On exposure
to the air a greater portion of this fragment of mortality
dissolved and mingled with ita kindred clay ; still, how-
ever, sufficient remains to render it an object of inte-
rest to the curious and contemplative mind. How long
this seat of thought—this human crown of one of our
forefathers, has been removed from time's mighty con-
flicts, and from what cause it was laid low, cannot be
ascertained ; it is probable centuries have elapsed since
that period. The skull may be seen on application to the
sexton,—Doncaster Chrontae.

Despatch from General Sir W. Codrington.

( Front the London Gazette of last evening.)
WAR DEPARTMENT, APRIL 16.
Lord Pannier° has received a despatch of which the
following is a copy, addressed to his Lordship by Gene-
ral Sir William Codrington, K.C.B.
Sebastopol, April 1.

My Lord,—There is nothing particu?ar to report, ex
cept the continuance of the well-being of the troops.
Even under the circumstances of a month as severe in
point of change and cold as any that we have had, there
is no material increase in the number of sick. Though
the numbers are higher, your lordship will ramember
that drafts to the extent of 4,060 men have latterly been
sent up from Malta. Yet the whole of the month of
March has been very cold and trying, from northerly
winds and frost almost every night, and the thermometer
occasionally down at 13 and 18 degrees ; and yesterday
morning 'he ground was for a short time white with
snow.

Having received the signature of General Luders to
the armistice agreed upon by the Allied Generals, the
continuation of it has been prolonged till further orders.
A boat from her Majesty's ship Leopard entered the
harbour from the sea yesterday, under a flag of truce,
to carry on the communication across the harbour 'from
our side. We had only one old and heavy Russian boat
for this purpose. The conditions of the armistice did not
permit to either party to use the harbour ; and the entry
of the boat of her Majesty's ship Leopard was the re-
sult of communications between General Luders and
myself.
The Artillery continue to move the Russian guns
from Sebastopol, as well as those damaged ones of ours
from the batteries of attack ; 718 are already embarked
for England.
There have been recovered from below the water of the
Dockyard by Mr. Deane, the Submarine Engineer, 11
pieces of field artillery, with their limbers and waggons.
I have, &c., W. J. CODRINGTON,
General CoMmauding.
The Lord Panmure, &a.
