With reference to the criminal proceedings
against the directors of Overend, Gurney, and
Co. (Limited), it appears that the whole of the
defendants must lodge their pleas at the Crown-
office by the first day of Easter Term, the 15th
inst. Shortly afterwards an application will be
made to fix a day for the hearing of the trial in the
Court of Queen's Bench, the object being to get
the case disposed of as quickly as possible.
With regard to the rumours which have been in
circulation for some weeks regarding an amalgama-
tion or arrangement between the Great Northern
and Sheffield Companies, we learn that no official
negotiations have taken place on the subject. The
rumours have arisen from the fact that certain large
shareholders are agitating to bring about such an
arrangement, on the ground that it is both natural
and desirable.

The Manchester Examiner reports the failure of
Messrs. Passmore, Smith, and Co., of Bombay.
Their liabilities in this country are believed to be

In the Frankfort correspondence on Saturday
reference was made to a " new issue of 600,000
preference shares of the Lombard Railway reported
from Paris," but advices from the latter city state

that it is believed that no financial measure will
be adopted till the meeting of the shareholders on
the 28th inst.

The statement that Senor Olozaga will go to
Lisbon " to offer the Crown of Spain to the ex-
King Ferdinand" has produced scarcely any effect
on Spanish stock. Neither in political nor commer-
cial quarters has anything yet been allowed to
transpire here on the subject, and it should prove
that negotiations have been carried on successfully,
an almost unprecedented amount of discretion must
have been exercised for the preservation of secrecy.
Bonds are now at 311 to 1.
A further communication has been received, in
which it is still contended that, making all allow-
ances for contingencies, &c., the results of the re-
venue account of the Atlantic Telegraph Company
should be very different as regards the old Atlantic

speech of the chairman. The point, however, is
one on which those who have access to the books
can alone speak with authority.

CEN 2 RAI. C RIMIN AL COURT—(this Day).

In accordance with an application his lordship fixed the
trial of Rumbold and Gambier (the latter a clerk in the
Admiralty Office), on a charge of conspiracy, for Friday
morning.
OFFENCE AGAINST THE BANKRUPTCY LAWS.

John Reed, a dealer, aged 46, was charged for "that he,
being a bankrupt, unlawfully did conceal and embezzle
one watch and one ring, and divers moneys, value £lOO,
with intent to defraud his creditors.

Mr. Sergeant Sleigh and Mr. Warner Sleigh appeared
for the prosecution. •

The prisoner road a written defence, in which he had
set down his biography, and he commented in no measured
terms on the repeated misdeeds of the witness, Mr. Stan_
ley, who indignantly repelled the accusations.
(Before Mr. Justice Brett.)

THE EXTRAORDINARY MUTILATION CASE.
Ellen Cook, a very robust-looking woman, 44 years of
age, was indicted for feloniously wounding her husband,
James Cook, with intent to murder him.
The first witness was Inspector Turpin, who described
tho state of the room in which tho crime was perpetrated,
and produced a rope and a large table knife, on which there
was blood, and which he found in the room.
The prosecutor was then brought into the witness-box
in a chair. His head was bandaged, and he seemed very
pale and weak. He had been brought from Guy's Hospital,
to which he was taken lack after being examined.
The witness described the outrage that had been co:n-
mitted upon him, which was of a more diabolical nature
than can well be conceived. The prisoner afterwards fell
upon him and attempted to gouge out his eyes, and then
went away cud he managed to free himself, and was eon-
veye.l io the hospital.
Mr. Montague Williams addressed the jury for the de-
fence, and contended there was no evidence on which the
jury could convict the prisoner.
The learned judge then summed up, and the jury imme-
diately found the prisoner guilty of the second count.
Shewas sentenced to 15 years' penal seriitude.
THE ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT BY THE ACCOUNTANT OF THE
METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.
Mr. Metcalfe stated that as the case had been already
fully investigated the Metropolitan Board had instructed
him to withdaw from offering any evidence in support of
tie other indictments against the defendant.
