Alhambra Company (Limited.)

The half-yearly meeting of the directors and share-
holders of the Alhambra Palace Company was held this
afternoon, at the offices of the company, in Leicester-

square. -
The balance-sheet showed that the profits for the half-
year amounted to £5,135 7s. 3d., out of which the directors
recommended a dividendat the rate of 20 per cent. per an-
num, for the six months ending June 10th, payable July
18th, which will absorb about £4,700, the balance it was
proposed to carry to the next half-year's account.
The report was adopted unanimously.

HIGH TEMPERATURE BY GAS.—In the paper
addressed to the Academy of Sciences, M. Schlcesing de-
scribes an apparatus of his contrivance for obtaining tem-
perature of extraordinary intensity from illuminating gas.
The conditions necessary for this purpose he states tobe
—l. Combustion without excess of air or gas totally effectedsup
within the space to be heated ; and 2, a rapidity of . n
ft:-

but the burnt gas must have a proper outlet from the fur-
nace. suppose it be required to raise the temperature of
a porcelain tube to a white heat ; a flattened floozie is
added to the extremity of the blowpipe and placed between
two bricks, secured together by iron wire. By this means
the flame assumes the shape of a flat sheet issuing through
a slit not more than two or three milimetres wide. The
operator will take care not to bring the porcelain tube too
near the sheet, for the porcelain would be infallibly melted
along the whole length of the flame. On each side and at
both ends of the slit four pieces of brick are placed, im-
prisoning the flame within a space two centimetres broad
and five or six deep ; the porcelain tube is put a little
above, and surmounted with bricks properly shaped ; the
ignited flame surrounds the tube and escapes above. By
this arrangement, modified in the case of a crucible, the
inventor has been enabled to melt a piece of iron, weigh
ing 400 gins, in twenty minutes.

lish wool has been in limited request., at late rates. The
imports of wool into London last week were 4,072 bales
from Sydney, 1,661 Port Philip, 3,561 Melbourne, and
7,500 bales from Now Zealand.

THE RESCUE SOCIETY wishes to add another
home to the 12 now in operation. Last year no fewer
than 455 poor, friendless, young females were rejected from
want of FUNDS and room, making a total of 3,087, who have
been sent away in five years.
The new home the Committee wish to form would be for
young girls, almost children, from the age of s to 16, who
have been led astray from the path of virtue.
Contributions will be received gratefully by the Secretary,
Mr. Daniel Cooper, 85, Queen -street. Cheapside; or by Messrs

Adelphi Theatre•

The long-promised English version of Offenbach s
comique opera, " Belle Helene," was produced here
on Saturday evening, under the title of " Helen, or
taken from the Greek," with complete success,
judging it by the standard of burlesque. The classic
story has been dished up to suit English taste by
Mr. Burnand, but his task has been a laboured one,
and the doggrel stuff he has put into the mouths of
the characters is perfectly innocent either of wit or
humour. The music, however, sends the piece along,
and the talents of the actors engaged in the repre-
sentation completed the success of the performance.
Mrs. Mellon as Paris, Miss Furtado as llelen, Mr.
Toole as Menelaus, Mr. Paul Bedford as Colchas,
and Mr. It. Romer as Philocomenos, gave a very
good impersonation of their respective parts, and
the effective manner in which the orchestra, under
the direction of Mr. Riviere, supported the per-
formers was exceedingly praiseworthy. The dresses
were pretty and tasteful, and doubtless the English
reputation of Offenbach will induce large audiences
to assemble at the Adelphi for some considerable
time to come.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SERIOUS AND UNPROVOKED ASSAULT.—CharIes Markant,
a cabinetmaker, was charged before Mr. Knox with the
following violent assault on Michael Hay, a labourer, liv-
ing in Grafton-court, Marylebone.
The complainant (who was compelled to walk with a
stick) said—Last night, about half-past 11, I got off an
omnibus at the corner of Tottenham-court-road, having
my uncle and other members of my family with me, and
while walking up the road the prisoner ran against my
uncle. I asked him why he did so, and he went a short
distance and then returned and knocked the pipe out of
my mouth, and caught hold of me and swung me round,
throwing me into the road, and then kicked me severely
on the ankle, injuring me so much that 1 could not walk,
and was obliged to be taken to the University Hospital in
a cab.
Mr. Knox—Had you given the prisoner any provocation ?
The Complainant—Not the slightest.
Mr. Knox—Was the prisoner drunk ?
The Complainant—He was not quite sober.
Mr. Knox— You were attended to at the hospital ?
The Complainant—Yes, sir.
The Prisoner—lt was accidental.

Thomas Boyce, 55 saw the prisoner running up
Tottenham-court-road, followed by a number of persons.
I took tho complainant to the hospital and the prisoner to
the station.

The constable handed the magistrate a certificate signed
by Mr. Morrison, cno of the surgeons of the University
Hospital, to the effect that the complainant's anclo was
injured. . . _

Tho complainant—l have lost my work through it.

Mr. Knox—l think it a very cruel matter. A man is
coming home peaceably with some members of his family,
and a drunken man runs against ono of them and then as-
saults the complainant and injures him severely, causing
him to lose his work, and to be lame for some time to come.
I shall remand the prisoner for a week, and I would advise
him to make the complainant ample compensation, and if
he does not I shall deal with him severely.

YORK-SATURDAY.

Our corn market was sparingly supplied with wheat to-
day, and samples were taken off slowly, rates being rather
in sellers' favour. There was nothing doing in malting
barley ; grinding was in short supply, and maintained pre-
vious terms. Of oats there were only a few samples at
market, and these commanded full rates. Beans were
sparingly represented, and held at a small advance.
New white wheat, 56s to 60s ; new red, 54s to 58s per 36
stone. Barley, for malting, 32s to 34s per qr. ; grinding,
32s to 34s per 30 stone. Oats, new, 28s to 30s per 24 stone.
Beans, new, 48s to 50s per 38 stone. Malt, 66s to 68s.
Flour, 40s to 43s per sack of 2801bs.

NOT T INGHAM—SATURDAY.
The show of wheat was fair, but the demand was dull,
at fully late rates. Grinding barley was in small supply,
and the demand was fair at extreme prices. The supply
of oats was small, and the tone of the trade was firm at
rather over late prices. Beans were scarce, and sold at
top prices.
Old white wheat, 60s to 69s ; old red, 56s to 61s ; ne vv
white, 58s to 68s ; new red, 52s to 60s per 36 stone. Oats,
old, 328 to 36s ; new, 26s to 33s per 24 stone. Beans, old,
52s to 51s ; new, 46s to per 50s 38s stone. Fine flour, 389
to 42s per sack.

Marshal Benedek.

A writer in the Nord gives a long sketch of this
commander's career, but we confine our extract to
the portion relating to his present command :—" It
may be said that he was nominated to the head of
the army by acclamation ; his appointment was, in
fact, imposed on the Government by public opinion.
The Marshal bears the most popular name in Aus-
tria ; and he has gained that popularity less by his
strategical talents than by his adventurous
bravery. Hitherto he has only been a bril-
liant General of the advanced guard ; it re-
mains to be seen whether in a new post he will
display the qualities required by the chief command
of a great army in face of the enemy. He is sixty-
two years old, but looks younger. At a sitting of
the Reichsrath I examined him at leisure with a
good glass. His countenance is one of those which
are never forgotten. Two things in it strike yon
particularly—the eye and the moustache. The look
is that of command ; under thick lashes sparkle two
black eyes full of vivacity. He would be no soldier
were he not to attend carefully to his moustache ;
he wears it waxed in the Hungarian fashion and
hooked by the ends. His face, embrowned by
the Italian sun, has become longer than it
was; thin whiskers turning to grey form a
sort of frame, and an aquiline nose imparts to his
features a character of great vigour. The Marshal
is rather short than tall, and rather thin than stout.
For a man of his age there is a wonderful suppleness
in his movements, which are rapid and full of vigour.
The ensemble of his person is not exactly seducing
for those who are not partial to military carriage ;
but be strikes and commands, if not sympathy, at
least attention. Besides, to be correctly estimated,
he should be seen in a picture with another back-
ground ; not the benches of a Parliamentary assem-
bly, but on horseback, and in the midst of the smoke
of battles.

CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—SUOCKING
Stephens, a contractor for scavongering, of Green-bank,
'Wapping, and Thomas Porter, a carter in his employ,
appeared before Mr. Paget on a charge of cruelly ill-
treating and torturing a horse by striking it on the head
and working it in an unfit state.
_ _

Mr. W. Love, of the Royal Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, conducted the prosecution.
The case was originally before Mr. Paget on Saturday
ntorning, when Porter only was charged. A police-con-
stable named John Shephard, No. 43 H, saw the prisoner
driving a horse and cart. He was beating the animal over
the legs with his whip, and after he had done so he struck
the horse repeatedly over the head and nose. Shephard
remonstrated with the prisoner, and asked him what was
the matter with the horse that ho should use it in that
manner, to which he replied, with a profane oath, " I wish
tho would drop." The constable, on removing the
horse's collar, found extensiyo soros on its back, and its
sufferings were great. 11Ir. Paget examined the horse in
the yard adjoining the court ou Saturday, and its appear-
ance excited horror and disgust, He ordered a summons
to issue against Mr. Stephens for sending the horse out to
work in a cart in the state it was in. Mr. Stephens now
attended to the summpns, and the case was again gone
into.

Mr, Paget said tho conduct of Porter was very improper
and absurd, and that it was not the way to get a horse
along to beat it over the head and nose. Ile fined the
prisoner I.os,

- The case against Mr. Stephens was then gone into, and
Porter was called as a witness, and said his master desired
him to take the horse out, and knew the condition it was
in. He called his master's attention to the state of the
horse on Friday night, and he was told to work it in the
usual manner in the streets,

Mr. Stephens, in defence, said the hair was over the
wounds on Friday night, and he did not know the horse
was in the bad state in which it now seemed to be. The
hair had been rubbed 'off by mismanagement. If he had
known the horse had been so bad he would not have al-
lowed it to be worked.

Mr, Paget wished the owners of horses should know
that he had the power to send them to prison for three
months and to be kept to hard labour for cruelty to ani-
mals and for sending out animals to be tortured, for it was
torture to work a horse in the state in which the poor horse
was. If he found cases of this kind continued, he would
not inflict fines, but send owners and contractors
to prison and to hard labour, without the option of paying
any penalties. The defendant Stephens was the contractor
for this district, and had set a bad example to his men.
The defence set up was false and absurd. The wounds on
the horse had existed some time, Ii e never saw a horse
in such a frightful condition, no fined the defendant £5
and costs. It was the first case against the defendant. A
second conviction for a similar offence would end in im-
prisonment,

WSTMINSTEIi,

A FATHER CORRECTING A DISIIONEST SON,—Stephen
Lay, a stone-mason, was charged with violently assaulting
his son.

The police said that the boy was in St, Qeorge's hospital
unable to attend.

Timothy Lynch, 43 B, said that a quarter past four this
morning ho was on duty in Sloane-square, Chelsea., where
he found the boy sitting down crying, Ito was much
bruised and bleeding from the back and from the chin, and
witness took him to the hospital, whore he was detained,
Witness afterwards wont and apprehended the father upon
the charge of assaulting his son, the latter having stated
that his father had inflicted the injuries he then:bore, when
the father admitted it.
Mr. Arnold —What did ho say ?

Witness—He said he had beaten the boy with a strap:
w hick ho produced from his pocket, and which I have now
hero ; ho admitted that ho struck him with the buckle end,
A leather strap about wide, with a buckle at the
end was produced,
Defendant said—l punished him in a passion. On Sa-
turday afternoon ho was sent out on an errand with half
a sovereign, and no more was seen of him. I was going to
work this morning when I met him, and having the strap
in my pocket, beat him. It's hard for a hard-working man
to bo robbed by his own child. I was coming down to the
station to take other means with him.

Mr. Arnold—lt is a pity but what you had, as your cor-
rection was so excessive that your sou is in the hospital.
You must find one security in .£45 for your appearance this
day week.

METROPOLITAN.

On Saturday the broad gauge section of this lin.,
between Aldgate-street station and the Moorgate
terminus, was fully inspected by Mr. Myles Fenton,
the general manager, Mr. Burnett, the resident
engineer, and other officials, preparatory to its
being opened for passenger traffic. This portion
of the line is about a quarter of a mile in length,
and by means of it the Great Western trains will be
enabled to run from the main line and the Ham-
mersmith extension to the City at Moorgate station
without impediment. Over this section and into
the same station the Midland and Great Northern
trains are also to run as soon as the arrangements
are completed ; while the rails on the north side of
the line will be used for the Metropolitan trains
proper and for the traffic of the inner circle.

WEST NORFOLK JUNCTION.
This line was officially inspected on Friday on the
part of the Board of Trade, the inspecting officer

being accompanied by some of the directors and
members of the Great Eastern Board. Traffic will
be shortly commenced upon the line wl ich runs
from the Heacham-station on the Lynn and Hun-
_
stanton to Wells-next-the-Sea.

EBBW VALE IRON.

The second annual meeting of this company was
held on Friday at the London Tavern, Mr. J. A.
Turner in the chair.

The report stated that the net profit of the year
ended 31st March amounted to £194,155, which,
with a previous balance of £18,369, made an avail-
able total of £212,524. From this sum, after pay-
ment of expenses and interest to vendors, the direc-
tors recommended a dividend of 15s. per share, free
of income-tax, which with the interim dividend
already paid of 10s. per share,was equal to about 81
per cent. per annum. They also proposed to add
£26,000 to the reserve fund, making it £50,000,
nd £1,806 to the rail guarantee fund, bringing
t up to £5,000, and carrying over £19,170 to the
next:account. The produce of the works had been
986,575 tons of coal, 165,812 tons of pig iron, and
100,066 tons of rails and finished iron. A call o f
£3 per share had been made.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said he thought that the amount of profit
must be satisfactory, and yet, from some cause or
other, the shares of the company were not appre-
ciated by the public. He believed that false rumours
had been disseminated with regard to the property.
There were two items on the credit side of the ac-
count standing as assets. The first was the large
amount at which they placed the value of the pro-
perty—£l,729,4Bs. That was composed of two
sums—one the purchase of the property, £1,579,733,
which was considered a very low sum at the time,
and £149,752 expended upon it since in the shape
of new works. The other item was £549,376, cre-
dited to stocks on hand. No doubt many looked on
that as excessive, but they must recollect that where
there were 15,000 workpeople employed over their
extensive works the stocks of coal, ore, pig and pre-
pared iron, &c., must necessarily be very large. He
doubted whether they should ever be able to bring
it much under £300,000 or £350,000. £150,000 of
this stock consisted of rails all finished and ready
for delivery ; but since then that amount had been
diminished by over £70,000.
Mr. G. PHILLIPS seconded the motion.

Mr. J. HEDLEY, who had valued the property, cor•
roborated the whole of the chairman's statements.

The report, accounts, and dividend were unani-
mously adopted ; the retiring directors, Mr. Platt,
M.P., Mr. C. K. Anderson, and Mr. Turner were
re-elected, and also Mr. A. Darby, as managing
director, and the re-election of the auditors brought
the proceedings to a close.

Two ROMAN CATIIOLIC PEERS have been recently
called to the House of Lords, viz.—Lord Campden to the
Earldom of Gainsborough, by the death of his father, and
the Earl of Dunraven, created a peer by the title of Baron
Kerry, of Kerry, in the county of Limerick.

control of the railway. This railway, secured to the
Commander-in-chief, has enabled the latter, during
the three days of combat, to concentrate the corps
of his army, and to complete the preparations for a
decisive battle. It has been under these conditions
that General Gablenz has sustained an unequal
struggle with a corps of 25,000 men already tried
by the last actions, and with which he has, with a
valorous self-denial, resisted all the efforts of an
enemy who had at his disposal fresh troops which he
could renew almost to any extent. At the last
moment the Prussians received the succour of 30,000
of the Guard, their best troops. It was before these
formidable forces that the 10th Corps for a long
time maintained its position, allowing itself to be
crushed and falling at its post in order to assure in
any event the execution of the orders of the Com-
mander-in-chief. This noble sacrifice insures now
the position of Marshal Benedek, who remains with
his forces skilfully grouped, ready to carry out the
plan which has long since been prepared. The con-
fidence which the old General inspires to all his
army is such, and discipline is so severely enforced,
that secrecy is religiously observed as to all military
operations ; and the officers of the Army of the
North abstain from all correspondence upon the
subject, even with their families."

A FATHER CORRECTING A DISHONEST SON.—Stephen
Lay, a stone-mason, was charged with violently assaulting
his son.

Tho police said that the boy Was in St. George's hospital
unable to attend.

Timothy Lynch, 43 B, said that a quarter past four this
morning he was on duty in Sloane-square, Chelsea, where
he found the boy sitting down crying. He was much
bruised and bleeding from the back and from the chin, and
witness took him to the hospital, whore he was detained.
Witness afterwards went and apprehended the father upon
the charge of assaulting his son, the latter having stated
that his father had inflicted the injuries ho then:bore, when
the father admitted it.

Mr. Arnold—What did he say ?
Witness—He said he had beaten the boy with a strap,
which he produced from his pockot, and which I have now
here ; he admitted that he struck him with the buckle end.
A leather strap about lila. wide, with a buckle at the
end was produced.

Defendant said—l punished him in a passion. On Sa-
turday afternoon he was sent out on an errand with half
a sovereign, and no more was seen of him. I was going to
work this morning when I met him, and having the strap
in my pocket, beat him. It's hard for a hard-working man
to be robbed by his own child. I was coming down to the
station to take other means with him.

Mr. Arnold—lt is a pity but what you had, as your cor-
rection was so excessive that your son is in the hospital.
You must find one [Security ill. £5 for your appearance this
day week.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.-
The fear of pain and dread of ope*ation inherent to all
deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TENTH are of
vital importance from availing themselves of the services of
a dentist. In s practice founded in 1830, and now extending
over greater pate of the kingdom, an experience unequalled
has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi-
tive suflerer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute
freedom from pain, a specialite uertaining only to our prac-
tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters
patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all
stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac-
tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas-
tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so
that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of
pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur-
able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced.
Consultation free. Teeth from sa. Sets from 5 to 25 gs.,
warranted.

For the efficacy, utility, and success of this system, vide

DISCOUNT.

Mr. WATKINS said he was sorry the Chancellor of
the Exchequer was not in his place, as the trading and
commercial community were anxious to know whether
the concessions allowed by the letter to the go-
vernors of the Bank of England were to be con-
tinued ; and whether the Bank of England, having a
reserve of £15,000,000 of bullion, and the Bank of France
with £20,000,000, the former was to be allowed to retain
its interest at the rate of 10 per cent. Although the Bank
was allowed to hoist the storm signal, they should not
allow them to keep the signal hoisted so long after the
hurricane had passed. He moved that the house should
adjourn until to-morrow, in order to see what could be
done in the matter.
Mr. CeIILDERS said it was quite understood that the
house was only to meet to-day pro forma, and that no
public business was to be transacted.
THE MEETING TO-NIGHT IN TRAFALGAR-

SQUARE.
Mr. D. GRIFFITHS asked the Home Secretary whether
the Commissioners of Police had taken steps calculated to
preserve the public peace, on the occasion of the meeting
in Trafalgar-square that evening ?
Sir G. GREY—Yes, they have. (Loud laughter.)
The motion for the adjournment of the house was then
agreed to.
The orders on the paper having been disposed of, the
house adjourned.

LEICESTER-SATuRDAy.

The show of wheat at our market was moderate. Buyers
purchased cautiously, and sellers found it hard to realise
any advance. Of barley very little came to hand, and the
prices of last week were fully realised. The supply of
oats was exceedingly scanty, and prices were the turn in
sellers' favour. Beans met a steady sale, and prices quits
as high as last week.

white, 55s to 60s ; old rod, 50s to 56s per 36 stone. Bar-
