THE WANDERING MINSTRELS.—A concert was
given at the Hanover-square Rooms on Saturday
night by this celebrated troupe, in aid of the building fund
of the Female School of Art, Queen-square. Tho school,
which has for its object the education of women in the arts
of design, is capable of containing from 150 to 200 students.
It has had to struggle with a building and house debt of
about £I,OOO, which it has reduced to about ono quarter
of that amount, having brought its income to within £3O of
its expenditure. Much of this progress appears to have
been owing to the active exertions of the superintendent,
Miss Gann ; and no doubt a further advance has been made
by the result of Saturday's concert. The distinguished
amateurs were under the active superintendence of their
conductor, the Hon. Seymour J. G. Egerton, and among
their performances may bo specified the overtures to " Masa-
niello" and" Guillaume Tell"—both given with considerable
spirit and brilliancy. In the latter piece the commencing
violoncello solo by Lord G. Fitzgerald, and the solos for
corno Inglose and flute by Mr. T. Selby and 11. Lo Patourel
were conspicuous.

TILE IiEFOI2II LEAGUE.—Last evening there was
a small gathering of people in Trafalgar-square, in
response to a call by the Reform League, to commence a
series of agitations at this spot for Reform. The placard
calling the meeting was worded thus :—" Manhood Suf-
frage. Monday, March 4, 1867. Half-past 6 p.m., Trafal-
gar-square. Who stops Reform ? Disraeli. Who and
what is he ? He comes from a race that for ages past has
been the most cruelly persecuted of any by the aristo-
cracies of the world. He is now conspiring with those
same persecutors to prevent you and me, my brother
workers, from becoming free in our native land. You who
would strike a blow for freedom attend this meeting." As
there were so few persons present it was resolved to ad-
journ, but before doing so, Mr. Bradlaugh, who lectures
under the name of Iconoclast, addressed the meeting. Ho
dwelt with seine bitterness upon the remarks of Mr. Lowe
as to the failure of these demonstrations, and said the bon
member and those with him would find that the men with
the white staves were not afraid to meet in that square and
march the people down to the very doors of St. Stephen's.
The speaker was much cheered, and subsequently the
meeting was adjourned. The proceedings were orderly.

Atlantic and Great Western Railway
Meeting—This Day.

A very large meeting of the bond, debenture, and share
holders, and other creditors in this undertaking was held
to-day at the London Tavern, for the purpose of consider-
ing what steps should be taken to carry out the recommen-
dations of the committee of investigation; Sir W. Russell
in the chair. _ _

The CHAIRMAN said they had met there that day to con-
sider the best course of action to be adopted in the
present unsatisfactory condition of their property. They
were all deeply interested in this meeting, which had been
grossly mismanaged. (Hear, hear.) He did not despair
that by good management it was quite possible to restore
the railway to that position which it ought to occupy, and
also to snake it in a condition to give a fair return for the
capital invested. In appointing a committee to carry out
the wishes of the meeting, the one great duty of that com-
mittee would be to reduce their expenditure to the lowest
possible point, and to bring down the cost, which was most
extravagant and excessive. (Hear.) Tbe present expenditure
was 78 per per cent., instead of what it ought to be, viz., 55
per cent. They had ten men engaged in place of six on
every mile of railway, and they had other companies feed-
ing on their capita], which ought to go into the pockets of
the creditors. (Hear, hear.) The committee would also
have to take active steps to develope the traffic, which has
never yet been properly done. Another of the objects the
committee would have to keep steadily in view was to
take care that the whole of the receipts came into their
possession, and it would be their duty to see
that it was distributed amongst those who had
a legal priority. The provisional committee over which
he had presided recommended that there should be a com-
mittee of investigation appointed, to act for the different
interests of the parties vitally interested, viz., the consoli-
dated bondholders, the debenture holders, the debtors, and
the general creditors. It was thought that if ono gentle-
man was appointed to act for each of the interests he had
mentioned, the result would be that their property would
be restored to prosperity. He concluded by moving a re-
solution to the effect ho had stated.

Mr. CAVE seconded the motion, and said he would only
impress on the gentlemen who might be appointed the
importance of avoiding as much as possible becoming in-
volved in legal matters. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. MORING said he felt that no good could be done until
the whole of those now forming the board were removed.
(Hear, hear.) Thera wore those in America who had no
other than their own interest to look after, the debenture-
holders and creditors in this country being entirely over-
looked. (Hear, hear.) If they sent over honest men to
America they would soon see that a favourable change
would take place in their present dark prospects. (Hear.)
Mr. CUNNINGTON said he had just been presiding over a
meeting of debenture and bondholders, and ho thought it
would be better that three gentlemen instead of one should
be appointed to act for the different interests, because if
they only sent one he might from a variety of causes be-
come unable. from acting, and then the interest ho had to
look after would be unrepresented. (Hear, hear.)
A SHAREHOLDER said he should like to know who got the
£lO,OOO a year for the lease of the Frankland Railway.
There were enormous salaries paid, and no one seemed to
know who received them. (Hear, hear.) They had a
bond of contract, and he thought ho ought to know who
got the money. (Cries of " Sir M. Poto," and hisses.)
The CHAIRMAN said the question of who received the
rent of the Frankland Railway was a very plain question ;
yet, as he had only been ton days in making inquiries, he
could not tell tho►n.

Mr. BIRD was understood to say that Messrs. M'Henry
and Ferrand received the amount of the lease of the Frank-
land Railway.
A very stormy discussion ensued, during which amend-
ments were moved and all sorts of questions were asked
the chairman. Some of the shareholders wished to know
whether Mr. M'Henry and his committee in America would
have power to control the action of the committee to be
appointed. Others condemned the accounts and the con-
duct of the board of control as being disgraceful.
The ()lummox said he had been asked whether the un-
secured creditors rank as mortgagees ; that was a, legal ques-
tion, but, as at present advised, he believed not. If they
seized the lino they would do so, subject to all the mort-
gages. With respect to the power of the committee being
subservient to those in America, it was of tho utmost im-
portance that the committee should have unlimited power,
and to take the entire control of the railway. They would
get that amicably if they could, but if not then there was
machinery that could be put in motion, which would
secure them tho power at very little outlay. (Hear, hear.)
With respect to the manner each interest would be dealt
with h 0 could only say they would be treated in
every way that they were legally entitled to. The other
questions relative to leases and agreements would all have
to bo inquired into. (Hear, hear.) He was not there
Dither to condemn or whitewash anybody. They ought
first to inquire, then state all that followed. It was of the
utmost importance that all should pull together. (Hoar.)
A SHAREHOLDER said ho should like to know what Mr.
M'Henry would do under the circumstances; would he
oppose the inquiries, or would he render them all the
assistance ho could give ? As the gentleman was present,
ho bogged to ask him the question.
Mr. MAIENItY said he should throw all the power he
had into the committee. The only hope of getting any-
thing for the shares he hold was the making them of some
value. _ _

A SHAREHOLDER would like a more definite answer.
Mr. 31‘11ENnv said all his prophecies with respect to the
railway had been fulfilled. Enough was earned to pay
every shilling of the interest, if they could only get it.
(Loud laughter and cheers.) lie begged to stato that all
the powers he ever had, or should have, would be at tho
disposal of the committee. (Loud cheers.)
The amendments were then withdrawn, and the original
proposition of the Chairman, viz., the appointment of a
committee of four, was carried unanimously.
It was then moved that the committee of investigation
consist of Sir W. Russell, M.P., Thomas Cave, Esq., M.P.,
John Filders„ Esq., M.P., and Crawshaw Bailey, Esq.,
M.P.
The motion having been seconded, was carried unani-
mously.
The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the
chairman.

THE USE OF GREENWICH HOSPITAL.—A most
influential deputation from the Seamen's Hospital Society,
with reference to the occupation of Greenwich Hospital,
had an interview with Lord Derby yesterday afternoon at
his official residence in Downing-street. The deputation
was accompanied by Mr. Komball Cook, the secretary, and
introduced by Admiral Sir William Bowles, K.C.B. It
consisted of the Right Hon. G. J. Goschen, M.P., many
members of the House of Commons, and of the comniittee
of the society. Admiral Bowles shortly explained that the
Seamen's Hospital Society, being urged by sanitary con-
siderations to remove the hospital from a ship, had pur-
chased a site for the erection of an hospital ashore, but as
Greenwich Hospital had becomo nearly empty they begged
to prefer a request for the loan of a portion of that build-
ing for the purposes of the society. Lord Derby, who was
accompanied by Sir John Pakington and Sir Stafford
Northcote, stated in reply that her Majesty's Government
were perfectly willing to grant the loan of a part of Green-
wich Hospital to the Seamen's Hospital Society. The
deputation, having returned thanks for tho satisfactory
mower they had received, withdrew.

The Prosecution of Mr. Eyre.

In reference to the letter from Mr. Eyre's attor-
ney, which appeared in the papers on the 14th ult.,
the following letter has been sent to Mr. Rose by
Messrs. Shaen and Roscoe. We are informed that,
in consequence of Mr. Eyre's declining to come for-
ward to share the responsibility of the charge upon
which Colonel Nelson and Lieutenant Brand have
been committed by Sir Thomas Henry to take their
trial at next session at the Old Bailey, an application
for a warrant against Mr. Eyre will be made at the
next petty sessions to be held at Market Drayton,
in the neighbourhood of which—viz., at Adderley-
hall—Mr. Eyre is now residing
"8, Bedford-row, London, W.C., Feb. 22.
"Dear Sir,—A few weeks ago I informed you that I c-l-
-pected shortly to be in a position to commence proceedings
against your client, Mr. Eyre, in reference to the recent
outbreak in Jamaica ; and I asked you whether, when I was
ready to commence, you would leave me to take proceedings
as I might find it possible to bring him within the jurisdic-
tion of the magistrate, or whether, upon my giving notice to
you, you would arrange for him at once to come forward
and meet the charge, and so avoid being looked after by 3
policeman. In reply, you said that you did not wish him
to be annoyed by proceedings in his own neighbourhood,
at Adderley, in Shropshire, and that if I would inform VII,
when 1 proposed commencing proceedings, you woulu
bring him to town for the purpose of meeting the charge:
" In consequence of this conversation, Mr. Stephen said
on the Gth inst., at Bow-street, from my instructions, that
Mr. Eyre's solicitor had said that upon notice he would
come forward at once, and would be most ready and will-
ing to meet any charge that might be brought against biro'
On the afternoon of the same day I called at your office
and finding you were not that day at business, I left word
that I had commenced proceedings and that I should bs
glad, in accordance with our arrangement, if you would
send for Mr. Eyre to come to town.
" On the Bth inst. you wrote to my firm, in a letter which
you published in the papers on the 14th, as follows: I
have read with astonishment in the daily papers the state-
mant made by Mr. Stephen, on the occasion of Mr.
Dill
and Mr. Peter Taylor attending before the magistrate at
Bow-street, to apply for warrants against Colonel Nelson
and Lieutenant Brand for murder, that I had undertaken
that Mr. Eyre should attend where and whenever the
agents of the Jamaica Committee should require him. I
need scarcely say I never gave any such undertaking, or
ever expressed any desire or intention to aid the Jainaie3
Committee in their prosecution ;' and, after some further
observations you add, ' Mr, Eyre declines the invitation to
attend at Bow-street.'
" At first sight, this letter appears inconsistent with 91oe
views you expressed to me as above stated, and upon whit.
I instructed Mr. Stephen ; I am told, however, by a c°°."a
,
mon friend that your explanation is that when you °l
me you would bring Mr. Eyre to town to meet any ebarei
wbeu I should bo ready to prefer one, you believed that .
was intending to proceed under the Colonial GovereoB
l.
Act, and not under the Criminal Law Consolidation Act,
or, as you phrased it, the Murder Act.' If so, I can "i,
reply that in our conversation not a word was said asote
the nature of the contemplated proceedings, or as t
Oo_
Act under which they would be taken ; and I think, tb
'h
fore the astonishment expressed in your letter of the c
of February is itself somewhat surprising. of
" With regard to the position you have now taken uP7
course neither I nor my clients in any way complain of i
your taking any steps on behalf of your client which
may be advised are for his interest ; but as you have 1?:-•_'11
licly imputed motives to the Jamaica Committee WI
have no existence, I take this opportunity of explain]. IO
their view of the matter.

derive from the evidence of Mr. Eyre, and whether they

difference ; but they certainly would wish that the pre

WILFUL DAMAGE.—Henry Blades, of No. 3, Savile-
street, Maryleboue, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with
being drunk and wilfully breaking a pane of glass, of the
value of £4, the property of Mr. Samuel South, of the Earl
Russell, Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital.
Mr. Stephen Cully, manager to Mr. South, saw the
defendant, who had been drinking, in the house, and who
wont to sleep. He tried to rouso him, and while doing so
some of the defendant's companions threw some water on
the defendant, upon which the defendant began abusing
him (Mr. Cully). He put up with defendant's abuse for
80M0 time, and then put him out of the house, and as soon
as he had dons so the defendant took tap a stone and
throw it through a pane of glass of the value of £4.
The defendant said ho was thrown out of the house, and
his head dashed on the stones.

Mr. Cully denied this, stating that the defendant fell on
the stonos.

Mr. Henry Gibbs, decorator, 55, Wells-street, proved
seeing the defendant throw the stone through the window.

The defendant said that ho took up the stone in a passion,
but did not mean to throw it at the window.
Mr. Tyrwhitt--The defendant will have to pay the
damage £4 and a fine of £1 or a month.

The defendant—What if I don't pay tho money?
Mr. Tyrwhitt—A month's imprisonment.
The defendant—Then I'll go to prison.

THAMES.

DRUNK AND INCAPABLE.—A majority of the cases
brought under the notice of Mr. Partridge this morning
were, in the phraseology of the police-sheets, "drunk and
incapable," and, with two exceptions, the offenders were
married women. Mr. Partridge repeated the observation
of his colleague made yesterday that ho regretted to find
so much drunkenness among females. Mary Ann Taylor
and Susanna Jane Jones wore fined ss. each. Johanna
Canby, an Itishwoman, made a very good defence in justi-
fication of being drunk and incapable :—" The wind took
fast hould of her last night, and some brandy flew to her
head, bekase she was not accustomed to that same, and she
stumbled and fell. She was unable to get up again until the
policeman raised her. She had five young childer at horne,and
if the magistrate would forgive her, never a drop of brandy
would she ever put to her lips again."

Mr. Partridge—lt is very disgraceful of you to get drunk.
I will excuse you this time. Go home to your children.
Mary Ann Mitchell, a woman about 30 years of age, was
charged with being drunk and incapable. for face was
bruised, she had a fearful black eye, and there were other
indications of her having been brutally treated on her head
and face.

John Chester, 23 FI, said hs found the prisoner helplessly
intoxicated in Leman-street last night.

Tha prisoner—My husband has ill-used me for the last
seven years. Look how he has served me.

Mr. Partridge—Because you get drunk, I am afraid.
The prisoner—No, sir; my Hie is wretched; he has
driven me to drink.

Mr. Partridge—Where did you get that terrible black
eye ?
Prisoner—My husband struck me and knockod me about
last Wednesday night.

Mr. Partridge—lf he has been in the practice of ill-using
ycu, why not apply to a magistrate for protection ?

The prisoner—l have taken out summonses against him,
and he has never attended to them.

Mr. Partridge —Then you could have had a warrant, and
he would have been brought here in custody.
Chester said that ninny police constables know the pri-
soner to be a respectable woman.
Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had
been several times to the court to complain of the bru.s.lity
of her husband.

Mr. Partridge—How very foolish of you to give way to
drinking habits. Keep sober in future. Y3ll aro dis-
charged ; and I will let you have a summons against your
husband. If you are brought here again you will be
punished if you aro found in this disgraceful position.
Eliza Clark, an elderly woman, was charged by police-
constable Church, 304 K, with being drunk and disorderly
last night in the etation-house adjoining the court. Church
said the prisoner came to the station-house inebriated, and
demanded an order for the casual ward of Mile-end-old
town Workhouse. She was told to stand aside, and that
she would be attended to in a few minutes. She then
uttered a volley of abuse, obscenity, and blasphemy, and
instead of an order 19r the casual ward, was locked up.
Mr. Partridge fined the prisoner ono shilling.
