POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

THE OUTRAGE IN BURTON CRESCENT.—John
Seates, who stood remanded with being concerned
in the outrage on Police-constable Saunders, in
South Crescent-mews, wiz brought up.

Superintendent Searle said the evidence he had
to offer on that occasion would be merely corrobo-
rative testimony relative to the evidence already
given, that of the constable who apprehended the
prisoner, and that of the divisional surgeon relative
to the condition of the injured man. He, how-
ever, was in a position to say that if another re-
mand was granted he should be enable.' to bring
forward some evidence of a very important nature
in connection with the case.

INIr. Vaughan sail, after such a communication,
he would have no hesitation in remanding the pri-
soner, and, therefore, the police-sergeant who
apprehended the prisoner ha I better give his evi-
dence.

Sergeant Chown, of the 2nd division, sail—On
the morning of the 29th of October, about a quarter-
past 11, he was watching the house No. 7, Bruns-
, wick-street, in which the parents of the prisoner re-
sided, when he saw the prisoner come up to the
street door, which he opened with a key. When
he got into the passage witness asked him if his
name was John Scates. He said " yes," on
which witness told him he was a police-con-
stable, and that he should take him into
custody on suspicion of being concerned
in the assault of George Saunders, a police-con-
stable, in North-crescent Mews. He said—" It's
not me you want. I'm not the man whot shot the
policeman. I've just been to Charlton fair, and I
have just come from Draper's-place in order to see
Jack Thomas, and ascertain if I could get a night's
lodging. Not succeeding, I went to the mews to
sleep that night, and as I was about to get into the
van 1 heard the shot fired. Iran to the con-
stable's assistance, and asked him if he would allow
me to spring his rattle, which he refused to do."
Witness said he had been watching the house ever
since the morning of the assault, until he took the
prisoner into custody on the 29th ult.
Mr. Vaughan asked the prisoner if he had any
questions to put to the witness, but he made no
reply.

In reply to the magistrate, Dr. Paul, the divi-
sional surgeon, said the injured man was quite un-
able to attend, and if any statement at the present
time was taken from him he did not think it could
be relied upon.

Mr. Vaughan said the present evidence taken
in :connection with that already given, was quite
sufficient to justify him in remanding the prisoner.
It was then arranged that the prisoner should be
again brought up on Wednesday next.

LONDON, FRIDAY, NO V. 1, 1867.

The Conservatives in the provinces are deter-
mined to bestir themselves, and to show that the
movements recently made by their leaders in Par-
liament do not fail to reflect their sentiments
generally. The fact is that there has been gradually
springing up in the country a large class, whose
opinions failed to find representation either among
the Whigs, Tories, or Radicals. They are ambitious
to share in the government of the country, at least
by the choice of fitting representatives, but at the
same time they have no desire for wholesale and
violent changes. If they thought the whole system
of our Government defective and erroneous, they
would scarcely be so eager to participate in it.
On the other hand, seeing their own vast in-
crease in numbers and intelligence from year to
year, they naturally believe themselves capable of
forming a sound opinion on matters of public in-
terest and national concern. They cannot fail to
be sensible that there are many abuses which needed
reform, many grievances calling loudly for redreEs.
many interests insufficiently or improperly repre-
sented. The resistance which the old Tories, pro-
perly so called, offered to any kind of change, was,
therefore, most irritating and irrational in the mind
of this class, while as for the Whigs it was diflicult
to say what their policy has been for the last ten
or fifteen years, unless it be summarised as precept
without practice. Modern Conservatism, therefore,
which takes its stand upon household suffrage and
social reform, and declaring it to be their great
object to uphold and to consolidate all those time-
honoured institutions to which our tradition-loving
population are deeply attached, have come forward
to fill up the vacancy. The strong line of demar-
cation between parties which existed up to the last
generation has been nearly obliterated, and it is by
no means impossible now to find that men of pro-
fessedly different sides of politics unite for one
common end.

The inaugural banquet of the York Working
Men's Conservative Association represented this

WEST FLANDERS.

The half-yearly general meeting of this company
was held yestcrlay at the offices, Moorgate-street
—Mr. R. T. Frere in the chair.

The report, an abstract of which has appeared in
The Sun, was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said the line was in good order, and the
lessees were in a flourishing condition, which was a
guarantee for the payment of the rent. The line
from Nieuport to Dixmude was nearly finished.
As to the financial condition of the company, out of
the balance of £7,514 it was proposed to pay a divi-
dend of ss. per share, which would leave a balance
of £824. This dividend was an increase of 3d. per
share upon the dividend of the previous half-year,
and 6d. per share upon the dividend preceding that,
and ls. per share upon the dividend of November,
1865. The company had no liabilities and was free
from debt, and he did not think in future there
would be any sudden diminution in the dividend.
The line was leased to the Societe d'Exploitation
under certain conditions. They were—that the
company should repair damage caused by earth-
quakes, revolutions, wars, or floods. They were the
usual clauses inserted in all leases in Belgium, and
of course it was impossible for the company to avoid
them, and while the condition existed the company
was not entirely out of danger. To meet this it was
proposed to put by a small sum to form a contin-
gent fund.
Capt. GREIG seconded the motion for the adop-
tion of the report.
Mr. S. HERAPATH remarked that there were items
amounting to £7OO which would not appear in the
next account, so that if the profit remained the same
they would have that amount to the good.
In answer to a question, the CHAIRMAN said they
might reach the dividend of 13s. 3d. per share in
1871.

The report was then adopted.
The directors were then authorised, whenever the
dividend for the half-year reached 5s per share, to in-
vest in a contingency fund a sum not exceeding £5OO.
This investment was to remain the property of the
original shareholders, and to cease so soon as the
reserve fund provided by the statutes should come
into operation.
The resolution was carried.

The election of Mr. R. Tufnell, a director, was
confirmed ; and Mr. Frere and Mr. Edwardes, the
retiring directors, were re-elected.
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks
to the chairman.

MAIU LAND.

Fresh up to-day the arrivals of English wheat, coast-
wise and by land carriage, were very moderate. The
show of samples was therefore rather limited. The busi-
ness doing was by no means extensive, nevertheless Mon-
day's advance in the quotations was well supported.
The imports of foreign wheat having been seasonably
extensive, millers operated in all kinds cautiously. In
prices, however, we have no change to notice. Tho sup-
ply on offer was rather extensive.

The transactions in floating cargoes of grain were only
moderate. In prices very little change took place.
Both English and foreign barley was in short supply and
fair request, at last week's currency.
The malt trade ruled steadily, on former terms. The
supply of malt was rather limited.

Oats moved off steadily, at previous rates. The imports
have been tolerably good.

Both beans and peas wore steady in price.
Thu flour trade was inactive, at Mouday's prices.
In the value of seeds and cakes very little change took
place.

to accomplish what ten years' time was granted for
I,y that act. The gross receipts of the line since
1862 had exceeded expectations, but they had failed
in realising the net result. As to the policy of plac-
ing the permanent way and the rolling stock in a
condition to carry all the traffic to be had, there
could be no doubt if that were the case they could
now earn £50,000 a week ; and gentlemen could
easily see what a difference that would make for the
next eight or nine weeks to come on the aggregate
receipts of the current half-year. Speaking for him-
self, he did not lose faith in what the ultimate re-
sult of the line would be if provided with ample
means to carry the traffic. The disastrous harvest
of last year, which extended over the whole of the
North American continent, had seriously affected
their receipts. Now they had a good harvest, and
would experience the advantage of it. The loss of
the greenbacks could, of course, only come out of
their profits. Ile thought there was no difference
whatever between the interests of the directors and
those of the shareholders and bondholders.

Mr. MERCER said he had supported the policy of
the Arrangement Act in 1862, and could not see
what right any one had to disturb his priority as an
equipment bondholder. He had every confidence
in the directors, and trusted they would do what
was right.
The CHAIRIIAN said he was not going to answer
all the observations that had been made. He had
taken a note of the proceedings and would report
the matter to the board. The existing equipment
bonds would remain as they were. They paid a
royalty to entitle them to use steel rails, but nothing
had been expended in the purchase of steel rails.
He would call an early board meeting and submit
the grounds upon which the meeting were opposed
to the new bill, and of course they would decide as
they thought best for the interests of the company.

After another long discussion it was agreed that a
deputation, consisting of Mr. lloyes, Mr. Prance,
Mr. Smith, Mr. Ritter, and Mr. Mercer, should re-
present to the board the views of the proprietors
present with regard to the proposed bill. The meet-
ing was then adjourned to the 19th iust., and the
proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the
chairman.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ASSAULT IN REGENT-STREET.—WIn. Harris and
Abel Cornwell, two young men,were charged before
Mr. Knox as follows :
Mr. Win. Stevens, a retired tradesman residing
in Stafford-street, Lisson-grove, said that he was
passing through Regent-street about one o'clock in
the morning in company of his brother, when two
females accosted them. He zequested them to go
away, and as they did not do so he pushed one of
them away, upon which she gave a signal, and one
of the prisoners came across the road and struc k
him. He retaliated, and then the other prisoner
came across and struck him, and also his brother.
One of the females took his walking stick from him,
and one of the prisoners took it from her and struck
him a violent blow on the cheek with it.

particular disease, but exercise so powerful an influence
upon the whole system es to protect it from the recurrence
of the same affliction. They impart tone to the Stomach,
restore the appetite, give strength and flesh, and make the
patient feel quite a new being. Being composed of vege-

don bim in favour of a man who goes more strongly
for their party. The greater the Republican de-
feats the more tenaciously will they cling to the
General, and Wei believe whatever may be the drift
of opinion, that GRANT will be next President, if he
lives, and does not decisively reject the offer. In a
recent conversation on this subject the General said

f it should seem to be the will of PROVIDENCE and

the desire of the American people that he should be
PRESIDENT, he would not feel at liberty to resist
the one, nor to disappoint the other.
The Nova Scotia brings news of a mass meeting

[LEFT SPEAKING. I

lIOUSE OF COMMONS—LAsT EVENING.
THE REPORII BILL.
Lord IL 3IONTAGU asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer whether the Government would endeavour, as
early as possible in this session, to bring in a bill which
would carry out whatever resolutions might be passed by
the committee, on the Act 2 and 3 William IV., c. 45 ?
The CIUNCLLLOIt of the EX.cllE4T.7lilit said the

A

hon. member for Nottingham (Mr. Osborne) had a ques-
tion relating to the same circumstance, therefore he would
answer them bath. The inquiry of the hon. member for
Nottingham was founded on a misconooption. The main
object of the Government, by the resolutions they had
submitted to the house, was to obtain the sanction of the
house to the principles upon which the bill, which' he
hoped to have the honour of introducing in the event of
the resolutions being agreed to, would be founded. - Het
was not prepared at that time to enter into details of the
resolutions, but in case they were passed the Govrnment
were prepared at once to introduce a bill founded
thereon. The intention of the Government for proceed-r
ing, as ho had indicated, was that the house might come
to some general understanding as to the principle of the;
bill, and he did not contemplate being called upon
to enter into details. What the Government
wished was that the principles involved in the resolu-
tions should be sanctioned, and then the Government
would at once introduce the bill. That was the answer he
had to give to both questions. If, after the house had
adopted the resolutions, Government were not prepared
with a bill, he should consider that to be trifling with the
House of Commons. (Cheers.)
Lord R. MONTAGU reminded the right hon. gentle-
man that he had not stated whether the Government
would bring in a bill founded on the resolutions passed by
the house, whatever they might be.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, if the
house agreed to resolutions which the Government could not.
carry out, he presumed they were entitled to the privilege
of free men, and decline to proceed. The resolutions the
Government proposed were the basis of the bill. The Go-
vernment did not suppose that in passing these resolutions
is would he looked upon as tantamount to passing the bill.
Mr. OSBORNE asked the right hon. gentleman when ho
would name the exact sum at which he proposed to adopt
as the qualification for boroughs and counties. (Hear,
hear.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said—lf
the house agreed to the resolution stating that it was ad-
visable that the qualification for the franchise should be
lowered, and also those others in connection therewith, a
bill would at once be introduced, and then he would enter
into the whole details of the measure. (Hear, hear, and
laughter.) The Government were desirous of proceeding
as speedily as possible. They were not at all in favour of
delay. (Hear, hear.)
