TUALLER.-Arthur Cooper, aged 34, the landlord of the
Barley Mow public-house, Cannon-street-road, Ratcliff-
highway, in the parish of St. George-in-the-East, was
brought up on a warrant by Merritt, 296 K, an officer of

held a promissory note for £25 drawn by the prisoner in
favour of the lady, and she deputed Mr. Wilson to wait
upon the prisoner and request payment. Mr. Wilson went
to the prisoner's house with the promissory note, and also
with a letter from Miss Powell authorising the prisoner to pay
the money, and Mr. Wilson to receive it. The prosecutor
civilly and quietly stated his errand to the prisoner, who
asked him to let him see the promissory note and letter.

prisoner, who immediately walked into his parlour and
put both papers in the fire, pressed them down with a
poker, and destroyed them. Mr. Wilson asked for an ex-
planation, and the prisoner would give none, but he had
since written a letter to Miss Powell avowing what he
had done, and tendering an apology.

RAILWAY COMPENSATION CLAIMS.

A curious instance of the disparity which exists
between the real and supposed value of premises
which a railway company are required, under their I
parliamentary powers, to take,
was given by a case
which occupied the attention of the high bailiff of
Westminster, and a special jury, at the Guildhall,
Westminster, during the whole of yesterday.
A claim was made by Messrs. Neil and Under-
wood, under the advice of Messrs. Toplis an.]
Roberts, for £3,392, in respect of
.their interest in
No. 21, r, ,ton-street South, whiajkgauired to.
be taken for the purposes.aithe railway. The claim;,
ants. were dealers in objects of vertu, old china, and
same pictures,

siness.eT from Ther

they
carried shop
paisr,edlt6er67a
at
a rent
of £BO per'
annum, and they had underlet portion of thepre-
aCi
mises at a rent of £75 for a term` of seven years,
determinable at the end of any year by the tenant.
The claimants denied all knowledge of the in
tended railway at the time the lease was taken, in
April, 1865, although it appeared that the parlia-
mentary notice was given in November, 1863, and
stated that as soon as their. lease had been granted
they prepared to erect a gallery in the rear of the
house, in order to extend their business premises ;
but when the notice to treat was served in July,
1865, they stopped building the gallery. A letter
was put in from the solicitors of the claiinants'
landlord, dated April, 1865, and offering to give
them a lease for 42 years at a rent of £lOO. This
the claimants refused, and took the shorter term at
£BO a year.
The rent of No. 21 was stated to be £45 a year,
and it was mentioned that another house in the
same street, No. 18, had been to let for many months
at a rent of £l2O, with a premium of £4OO, witho9t
finding a tenant.
The witnesses, for the claimants valued the lease-
hold interest at £759. They claimed £75 for the
tenancy and £BG for fixtures, and the remainder of
the claim was made up by the compensation which
they asked for the injury to stock by their removal
from NO. 21 to No. and for the interruption to
business.
The books were yW, imperfectly kept, so much
so that the elaimantsF:'Own accountant could not
come to conclusions satisfactory to himself as to the
amount of their net profits. . . .

The retiring address of Mr. Miller and that of
Mr. E. K. Karslake, Q.C., the Conservative can-
dicate, for the vacant scat, have been issued simul-
taneously. Mr. Miller, who writes from St. Leo-
nard's, says, in consequence of failing health he feels
his duty to resign into the hands of the electors the
important trust which for nearly 10 years has been
reposed in him. lie expresses grateful than ks for
the support he has received during that period ; and
expresses his earnest hope that the entire Conser-
vative body will accord to Mr Karslake that generous
confidence which he considers him to fully merit.
Mr. Karslake, after referring to the opportuni-
ties be has already had of making known his political
sentiments, adds the assurance :--" In returning me
to Parliament you will return one prepared to give
a cordial, but an independent, support to Lord
Derby's Ministry, and, above all, one determined
to maintain the Established Church. Upon the
important question of Reform I can only say that
I am in favour of such an extension of the franchise

of those numerous important measures which must
come before Parliament in the ensuing Session. I

TEWKESBURY AND MALVERN.

Au extraordinary meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the Westminster Palace Hotel ;
Mr. Beeston in the chair.

It was stated that the share capital authorised in
1860 and 1862 was £265,000, making, with
£BB,OOO of debenture stock, £353,000. An agree-
ment wr.s made with the Midland Company to work
the line for 50 per cent. of the gross receipts, with
n additional payment for station accommodation,

The line was opened in 1864, and had cost at the
rate of £31,104 per mile. The receipts had been
during the two years and 41 months from the open-
ing of the line £8,370, which, deducting 50 per
cent. for working expenses, left a net return of £2
7s. 6d. per mile per week.

Mr. MANN moved resolutions to the effect that
certain of the directors be called upon to resign, and
that others be elected in their place ; that the direc-
tors be requested to forward to all interested in the
line a plan for a compromise—namely, that the de-
benture-holders should have 4 per cent., the Lloyd's
bondholders 2 per cent., the landowners and other
creditors a 5 per cent. preferential stock, and the
shareholders to receive per cent.

Mr. M'ANDnEw seconded the motion.
The CHAIRMAN defended the directors from the
charge of neglecting the company's interests. They
hat threatened the Midland that they would com-
plain to the Board of Trade as to the manner in
which the line was managed, and the answer made
was that the lir.e was in an incomplete state, want-
ing stations and goods depots ; but as the company
could not obtain more money the directors were
powerless. As to the cost of the line, great difficul-
ties bad been experienced in raising money to make
it. As to the directors being called upon to resign,
it would relieve them of onerous duties, for which
they had no pay whatever.
After a long discussion, themotion was not adopted.

PROJECTED GAS BILLS.

Mr. J. F. BONTEMS, chairman of the special gas
committee, presented a report respecting authority
to take the necessary steps to oppose the Gas Light
and Coke Company and the Imperial Gas Bills
now before Parliament. The Gas Light and Coke
Company's bill empowers the company to raise new
stock to the amount of £650,000 by issuing new
shares, to capitalise £360,000 in respect of profits
alleged to have been expended on their works, and
borrow £477,500 on mortgage or bonds. The com-
mittee said they last year succeeded in obtaining the
rejection of a bill containing powers of a less ex-
tensive kind than those in the present bill. The
bill, they said, might also in some respects be con-
sidered antagonistic to the Metropolis Gas Bill about
to be introduced by the Government. As to the
Imperial Gas Bill, there was a clause in it which
might enable the company to lay down mains and
pipes through the City to connect the different
works of the company. The committee were of
opinion that they should be empowered to take
steps to secure a modification of this clause, and
prevent any of the mains or pipes of the company
being laid in the City.
The report was agreed to, and referred back to
the committee for execution.

ANDOVER.

Mr. Humphery having retired from the represen-
tation of this borough, Sir John Burgess Karslake,
the Solicitor-General, has offered himself as a can-
didate. In his address he says he is in favour of a
well-considered scheme for the extension of the
franchise ; but it is his earnest desire that any mea-
sure brought forward in Parliament for the amend-
ment of the representation of the people may be
such as, while it admits a large number of the in-
telligent and educated persons who at present do
not enjoy the franchise to the privilege of assisting
in the choice of a representative, will have the effect
of settling this long vexed question on a fair and
equitable basis, without unduly disturbing the bal-'
ante of political power. Measures of great import-
ance are about to be brought forward for the amend-
ment of the law, and these would receive his most
careful and attentive consideration in their progress
through Parliament. He is an advocate for the
maintenance of the army and navy in a state of
efficiency, convinced as he is that by being prepared
for war we adopt the best means of securing peace-
ful relations with foreign Powers. Sir John Kars-
lake is now in Andover, and was to meet the elec-
tors at the George Hotel last evening.

CONSUMP7IOIV OF TOBACCO 1N FRANCE.

The consumption in Prance is increasing with
a great rapidity, as proved by the following admi-
nistrative returns :—ln 1789 the revenue produced
by the sale was 30 millions, which snm in 1811 had
declined to 16. Since the latter date, however, an
uninterrupted improvement has taken place; thus, in
1815, the amount was 32 millions ; in 1825, 44 ;
1835, 51; 1845, 82 ; 1855, 113 ; and in 1865, 175.
The quantity of tobacco sold in 1815 was 8,981,403
kilogrammes (2 1-5 pounds avoirdupois° each) ; at
present it is 80 millions of kilogrammes. In calcu-
lating the consumption, according to a population of
38 millions, approximatively, and supposing that the
use of tobacco commences at 15 years of age, the con-
sumption of each individual may be estimated at 2
kilos. 144 centigrammes. The ten departments in
which the number of smokers and snufftakers is the
largest, are the Bouches-du-Rhone, Seine, Seine-et-
Oise, Rhone, Var, Haut Rhin, Bas-Rhin, Alpes-
Maritimes, Finisterre, and Seine-et-Marne. In
general it may be said that the departments which
contain the largest garrisons and the greatest num-
ber of seamen consume the most tobacco. Besides
Algeria, fifteen departments are authorised to
cultivate the plant ; namely, the Alpes-Mari-
times, Bouches du Rhone, Dordogne, Gi-
ronde, Ille-et-Vilaine, Lot, Lot-et-Garonne,
Meurthe, Moselle, Nord, Pas-de-Calais, Bas-
Rhin, Haut-Rhin, Haut-Saone, and Haute-Savoie.
The annual produce is from 20 to 21 millions of
kilogrammes, in addition to 3,400,000 from Algeria.
The consumption being greater than the production,
the difference is principally furnished by the United
States, which produce annually 130 millions of
kilogrammes, and export to all parts of Europe.
The States most renowned for the quantity and
quality of their tobacco are—Virginia, Tennessee,
North Carolina, Maryland, Connecticut, Kentucky,
Missouri, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Cuba, Porto
Rico, and the Philippines produce the tobacco the
most esteemed after that of Kentucky and Mary-
land. About 50 millions of cigars are imported into
France annually from Havana and Manilla.

The Emperor Napoleon will remain at Salzburg
on the Bth, 9th, and 10th of August. M. de Moustier and
rrinoo Alottornich will aceempany the Emperor.
