Parliamentary contests for a fresh railway line
from London to Brighton will still be carried on.
Another is now proposed by Mr. James Samuel,
M.1.C.E., of Great George. street. It is to start
from the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway at
Penge station, and follow the course of the line for
which an Act was obtained in 1866 by the Chatham
and Dover and South-Eastern Companies (but
since abandoned) for a distance of about 12 miles
to the end of the Tatsfield Tunnel. Thence it pro-
ceeds to Ortead, crossing the main line of the
South-Eastern Railway a little beyond Godstone
station. It then crosses the East Grinstead line
about two miles to the west of East Grinstead,
thence by West Heathley in a nearly direct line to
the west corner of Chailey-common, crossing the
Keymer Branch Railway near Chiltington, and the
Lewes line near Falmer, running nearly parallel
with the latter and terminating close to the Grand
Parade of the North Steyne at Brighton. The
length from Penge to Brighton is 451 miles, from
Ludgate-hill_to Brighton 524 miles, and from Vic-
toria station to Brighton 52k miles.
The Brazilian Minister of Public Works, in the
course of an interesting report on Brazilian Rail-
ways made to the General Assembly, suggests that
the whole burthen of the guarantee of 7 per cent.
on their capitals should be assumed by the Impe-
rial Government, and that the 2 per cent. of the
guaranteed interest of 7 per cent., which the
Provinces are now liable to, but which the Im-
perial Government, as a matter of account, pays
to the companies, should be released to the Pro-
vinces, " the latter undertaking to employ its
amount in the construction and maintenance of
provincial roads that would feed the great arteries
of communication."

The Anglo-Austrian Bank have begun to carry
out the financial operations undertaken by them
for the Kaschau-Oderberger Railway. These com-
prise the issue of shares to the amount of 10 mil-
lions of florins, and of debentures to the amount of
about 38 millions of florins. The price of the shares
is 170 florins per share of 200 florins, or equivalent
to 85 per cent., with a State guarantee of 6 per
cent. in silver.

Lord Clarendon has addressed a communication
to Mr. Gerstenberg, chairman of the Committee of
Venezuelan Bondholders, conveying a letter to Mr.
Eastwick to the effect that that her Majesty's Chargé
d'Affaires at Caracas will- be instructed to afford
him all the moral support and assistance he properly
can render ; that application will be made to the
Government of his Majesty the King of the Nether-
lands for a despatch to the Dutch Minister at Cara-
cas, and to the authorities at Curacao, requesting
them to assist him as far as may be in their power,
and that the Board of Admiralty will be requested
to afford him such facilities by way of passage, but
not of interference, as may be at their disposal.

The shares of the Don Pedro Brazilian Mining
Company suffered a serious fluctuation yesterday
through an adverse report received from the mine.
It sets forth that owing to a large accession of
water heavy and expensive machinery will have to
be employed, and consequently a marked decline in
the value of the shares took place.
Friday next, the 9th inst., is the last day on
which applications can be received by the Metropo-
litan District Railway Company for the 7 per cent.
new preference shares, specially reserved to the
original shareholders of the company.
One principle involved in the plans of Mr.
Samuel consists in the introduction of the system
he has long advocated of improved light and fre-
quent trains, by which he believes a reduction of
from 20 to 30 per cent. can be effected in the work-
ing charges. There would be no difficulty, however,
in the adoption of this system by the existing
Brighton Company.
Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have received
the following remittances on account of New
Grenada dividend :—From Baranquilla, £522 ;
Santa Marta, £160; Cartagena, £l6O, making a
total of £842. Owing to some unaccountable delay
no remittance has been received from Bogota up to
this time.

7HE TRIAL OF OVEREND, GURNEY,

AND CO.

At the sitting of the Court of Queen's Bench
this morning, the Attorney-General, with whom
was Mr. F. H. Lewis, said :—He was instructed
in the case of the Queen v. Overend, Gurney,
and .others on the part of the prosecution,
though not in his official character as one
of the law officers of the Crown, to apply to their
lordship to postpone the trial until the sitting after
next term, on the ground that it was now impos-
sible to try it at these sittings.

The Solicitor-General said he did not know if
notice had been given to the defendant on this ap-
plication, but if the case commenced to-morrow, it
could not be finished by Saturday night.
The Attorney-General said he was informed that
if the case should be postponed he would be in-
structed to conduct it.

The Solicitor General said that being the case lie
should not resist the application.
Sir John Karslake, on behalf of Mr. Gordon, ex-
pressed a strong opinion that it would impossible
to try the case at thes sittings. Ilii client deeply
regretted the postponement, and, in fact, had been
pressing the trial forward to get rid of the charges
hanging over him. It was a matter of life and death
to him. _ _

The Lord Chief-Justice said it was very lament-
able that the case should have to be postponed, and
he was sorry that it could not be tried at these sit-
tings.
The case was then postponed until December
next on the above understanding.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7MB Day.

WESTMINSTER.

AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE UNDER TILE MATRIMONIAL
CAUSES ACT.—Mr. W. D. Smythe, solicitor, Rochester-
row, applied for a protection orier for a very genteel-
looking young married woman. He said that the appli-
cant had been married on the 22d of June, 1867, and lived
with her husband until February last, when he suddenly
deserted her after subjecting her to a great deal of ill-
usage. She had since then entirely supported herself by
her own industry as a milliner and dressmaker, and now
applied to have her earnings and property she had ac-
quired by her industry protected. She had recently
learned from her husband, who was now living in adul-
tery with another woman, and had been guilty of a shame-
ful act. He had redeemed his wife's jewellery, which had
been pawned, and had used it to decorate the person of his
mistress. He had, further than this, had the effrontery
to proclaim his shame. He had written, "It may be a
satisfaction to you to know that I am well, and that I am
doing well—so well that I have got all your things out of
pawn. Your necklace and your ear-rings are now being
worn by one who is not a pitiable cur." This was in the
husband's band writing, and addressed to a woman whom
he had repeatedly beaten, and then deserted. Inquiry
into the character of the applicant was courted if the ma-
gistrate deemed necessary.
The young woman was examined, and deposed to the
truth of the above statement.
Mr. Dayman immediately granted
the required order.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A Row AT A LOAN OFFlCE.—Charles Scenes was charged
before Mr. D'Eyncourt with wilfully breaking a pane of
glass at the Commercial Loan Office, 84, Wells-street,
Oxford-street.
Mr. George Brodie, the secretary of the loan office, said
that yesterday evening the defendant came to the office in
reference to an application he had made for a loan, and for
which he had paid 6s. 6d. for inquiries. He told defendant
the surety proposed was not of sufficient stability, and he
must have another name. The defendant then asked for
his 6s. 6d. back. He told the defendant that he could not
return the money, as it was for inquiries which had been
made, and the defendant then took up an inkstand from
the counter and threw it through the window. To
appease the defendant he gave him his 6s. 6d. back, and
lie then said that he would break all the windows ; and as
he was very excited and appeared likely to carry ont his
threat he gave him into custody.
The defendant said that he offered a gentleman as
surety who was worth thousands, and also offered a bill
of sale on his furniture, which had been seen. He paid
Gs. 6d. for inquiries, although the inquiries were made
within a mile of the office, and then his surety, as was the
practice, was objected to, so that he might be charged
another 6s. 6d. for inquiries respecting a second, and find-
ing that he had been swindled his temper got the better
of him.

Mr. Brodie said that he believed the surety proposed
by the defendant was already on his books.
The defendant said that when he went into the office
there were seven men indulging in a pot of half•and-
half.
In answer to Mr. D'Eyncourt the witness said they
charged 20 ix r cent. for their money. They wore obliged
to be particular as to their sureties, as many of their cus-
tomers were very shifty.
Mr. D'Eyncourt said that must be expec:ed, as none but
persons driven to the last extremity, would ever think of
going to an office for a loan at 20 per cent. The defend-
ant would have to pay ss. for the damage, and a fine
of ss.
The defendant said he hoped the press would take
notice of the case for the protection of others.
