WESTMINSTER.

THREE WEEKS AFTER WEDLOCK. —An exceed-
ingly well-grown young woman, who described her-
self as only 19 years of age, applied to the magis-
trate this morning for protection.
Mr. Arnold inquired what had occurred.
Applicant—l am very much ill-used by my hus-
band, and I have not been used to it.
Mr. Arnold—How long have you been married ?
Applicant—Three weeks to-morrow we were
married at Lambeth church, and he has used me
shamefully.

Mr. Arnold---it seems to be the formal condition
of marriage in this neighbourhood, but he has begun
very early at three weeks.
Applicant—He began at the end of the first week,
your worship. I bought a nice joint of meat, and
first he threw it in the fire, and then under the
grate.

Mr. Arnold—What does he do to you ?
Applicant—He refuses to give mo any money.
Mr. Arnold—What else? as I cannot interfere
with that.

Applicant—He locks me into the room and takes
my clothes away.
Mr. Arnold—That's to prevent you going out, I
suppose ?
Applicant—Yes, but Idid'nt marry to be shut up
in a room.
Mr. Arnold—has he assaulted you in any way ?
Applicant—He has terrified me very much. He
swears he will cut my throat, and he is constantly
talking of the horrible things he has done. He says
he has been committed to prison seven or eight
times. I am very much afraid of him ; he is so
violent, and the language ho uses is horrible. I
hope you will protect me.
Mr. Arnold granted her a summons to be served
forthwith.

Operations in the general discount market have
been on a rather limited scale, and the rates de-
manded show no material alteration.
Gold to the amount of £lO,OOO has arrived by
the Ballarat from Melbourne.

The gold operations at the Bank of England yes-
terday consisted of an influx of £75,000 in bar

sovereigns for the Brazils.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben-
tures remain firm at 32 34, and the Consolidated

The East India Irrigation and Canal Company
have received intelligence to the effect, that the
cause which operated to prevent the cultivators in
Orissa irrigating their lands from the Company's
canals has been removed, the Government of India
having renewed the present land settlements upon
the same terms for twenty years more, and un-
dertaken at any future settlement not to charge
mere for irrigated than for unirrigated land;
also, that with a view to give more extended em-
ployment to the suffering population, and to expe-
dite the extension of irrigation by the company, the
Governor-General had offered to advance as much
money as the company can expend, in addition to
their own regular outlay during the current year,
and that such offer had been accepted by the com-
pany's manager.

The inspectiOn report of the Delhi Railway, by
Major W. E. Warrand," R.E., deputy consulting
engineer to the Punjaub Government, concludes in
the following satisfactory terms :—" The quality
of the work is everywhere very good. It is to be
hoped that every endeavour will 'be made to insure
a proper supply of rolling stock for the Delhi end
of the line ; the traffic will be very great, and no
help will probably be obtained from the Lahore end
for a couple of years after its opening."
. A contract has just been made by Mr. Frederick
C. G. Ritso, of Austinfriars, acting on behalf of
the International Ocean Telegraph Company of
New York, with the Indiarubber, Guttapercha, and
Telegraph Works Company of Silvertown, for the

A report has been issued by the liquidators of the

be presented at a general meeting to be held on the
27th inst. It states that the total estimated
ties in March, 1866, were £789,268 ; and that since
that date nearly the whole of these liabilities have
been discharged, or have run off ; and that the
claims on the 27th ult. were estimated at £8,721,
and the assets at the same date represented
£281,620, showing a surplus of £272,899. As
regards the final result of the liquidation, the

further returns equal to 14s. per share on all the
shares of the bank.

Tire Rating of Schools and Charities.

~-.f

A public meeting took place yesterday at Willis's
Rooms, King-street, St. James's, to adopt steps to
secure for schools, and charitable institutions gene-
rally, continued exemption from rating. The Earl
of Shaftesbury occupied the chair, and amongst the
more distinguished persons on the platform were the
Earl of Harrowby, the Earl of Shrewsbury and
Talbot, Mr. Vanderbyl, M.P., Mr. 'Cite, M.P.,
Archbishop Manning, Rev. Mr. Owen, Dr. Aldis,
Mr. Baines, ALP., &c. Deputations from various
provincial towns were also in attendancel and let-
ters were read from the' Arobbiattop of Canterbury,
the Bishops of Winchester, Lichfield, Worcester,
Ripon, Chichester, and Rochester, Mr. R. Gurney,
lion. A. Kinnaird, M.P., and Mr. B. Cabbell—all
expressing their entire concurrence in the object of
the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN said that, in addition to the letters
which had been read, he bad received a communica-
tion from the late Lord Chief Baron Pollock stating
that he rested his objection to the measure upon the
simple justice of the case, and he was most emphatic
in his protest against it. The contents of the letter
showed that the writer possessed all the vigour of
youth in his 85th year. (Hear, hear.) His lordship
having spoken at some length in favour of the ob-
jects of the meeting,
The Earl of HARROWBY proposed the first resolu-
tion :--" That it is most impolitic and unjust to im-
pair the usefulness of the hospitals and dispensaries
of England by subjecting them, for the first time,
to the payment of poor and local rates, when the
relief they,administer to the sick and destitute poor
materially lessens the burden of parochial rates."
The resolution was seconded by Mr. FOSTER, the
treasurer of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, who said
he was authorised to enter a protest on behalf of
that institution and Christ's Hospital also.
The resolution was supported by the treasurer of
St. George's Hospital and carried unanimously.
Archbishop MANNING moved the second resolu-
tion That the recent decisions of courts of law
on the Act of 43d Elizabeth, cap. 2, rendering
schools and charitable institutions generally liable to
the payment of rates, is-contrary to the spirit of the
act itself and of recent legislation, and tends greatly
to discourage educational effort, and to the conse-
quent increase of improvidence and pauperism.
The Hon. and Rev. G. YORKE, rector of Birming-

ham, seconded the resolution, which was supported
by Mr. BAINES, M.P., and was carried unanimously.
Mr. TITE, M.P., proposed, and Mr. BARCLAY,
M.P., seconded the third resolution—" That such
steps be taken as may be deemed desirable, and that
a deputation do wait on the Prime Minister to ascer-
tain the views of the Government on the subject."
The resolution was. supported by Mr. 11. L. Keel-

ing, as the representative of members of the Jewish
persuasion, and was cordially agreed to.
On the motion of ..the Earl of SHREWSBURY and
TALBOT a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman,
who said he had never seen in all his experience a
more unanimous meeting.
