POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
°HAUGE OF CAUSING THE DEATH OF A CHILD.—Mr. H.
Chapman, soda water manufacturer, of No. 29, Lanham-
street, Marylebone, was charged before Mr. Knox with
causing the death of George Shelley, seven years of age,
by driving over him with a horse and cart.
From the evidence of several witnesses it appears that
on Saturday evening, about 5 o'clock, the prisoner was
driving a horse and van along Langham-streat, when two
children (the deceased and a little girl) stepped from the
pavement into tho road. The hackney carriage attendant
on the stand, William Goff, called to the prisoner to stop,
seeing the danger the children were in, but too late, both
of them being knocked down and the wheels of the van
passing over them. They were immediately picked up
and conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital, where shortly
after one of them, a little boy named George Shelley, ex-
pired, the wheels of the van having gone over his chest,
and the other, a little girl, was found to be much injured,
but she was subsequently taken home, and there are hopes
that she will recover.

In answer to Mr. Knox all tho witnesses stated that
the prisoner did all in his power to pull up, that he was
not going at the rato of more than five miles an hour, and
that the occurrence was purely accidental, the children
running right under the horses' feet.

Mr. Knox said it was a terrible tragedy for the parents,
but from the evidence of the witnesses it appeared that the
prisoner was free from blame, and that he was not going
at an undue rate. Ile should remand the prisoner till
after the inquest, and would take his own recognisance to
appear again.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Tho supply of foreign stock on offer here to-day was only
moderate, and in but middling condition. Beasts ad-
vanced in price, but other stock was inactife.
'The arrivals of beasts fresh from our own grazing
counties was again very moderate, but in fair average
condition. All breeds sold briskly, at higher quotations.
The best Scot; crosses, &c., raalised 5s 8d to 5s 10d, and
even 6s per 81bs, and nearly the whole of the supply was
easily disposed of. The prospect of a war between Aus-
tria and Prussia, consequently of a considerable falling off
in the importations of stock from Germany, had great in-
fluence upon the trade to-day.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,200 Scots, crosses, and short horns ; from other
parts of England, 500 various breeds ; and front Scotland,
6 Scots. There were no arrivals from Ireland.
We were fairly supplied with sheep. The weight of
each brood was quite equal to last week. On the whole,
the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, at prices about
equal to this day so'nnight. The top figure for Downs and
half-breds was Gs per 81bs.
There was a steady sale for lambs, the supply of which
was moderate, at full quotations, viz., from 6s 811 to 8s per
81bs.

Calves declined 4d per 81bs, with a slow inquiry. The
supply was moderately good.
The demand for pigs was heavy, nevertheless price
were supported.

from all parts aro admitted, the only condition being that
they aro homeless and starving. The Manager &c.,

Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-

LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 18, 1866.

We learn by telegram from Madrid that the
Spaniards have at length decided upon abandoning
the contest with the South American Republics. In
spite of the unscrupulous and barbarous manner in
which her commanders have been instructed to
carry on the war, in spite of the bombardment of a
defencless city, the destruction of neutral property,
and the arrogant assumption which rendered it
impossible for Chili to come to terms without
abject humiliation—in spite of all this Spain has
been forced to abandon the contest in which at
first sight the advantages appeared so greatly
on her side. To extort froin the thriving
little Republics the means of recruiting the
exhausted exchequer of Madrid has evidently
been for some time past a favourite scheme with
Spanish politicians. Their first attempt with Peru
and the Chincha Islands was so far successful
that it encouraged them to make an attack
upon the liberties and independence of Chili.
'l
he excuses which the Spaniards brought
forward for the quarrel were so slight and II
frivolous that it was evident, from the very
first, that their purpose was to pick - a quarrel
with Chili, with the object of obtaining some
material advantages from her enforced submis-
sion. happily the gallantry and determination
of the Chilians has been the means of defeating
them. Though they had no reason to expect any
assistance from the Great Powers, though they had
learned by the painful experience of other countries
that a small state may be seized upon and dismenk_
bored without any active interference on the part of
bystanders, yet the Chilians promptly and unani-
mously resolved that they would defend the honour
and independence of their nation to the very last.
The Government was firm and resolute, and
it was fully supported by the populace. Be-
fore long Peru allied herself to her neighbour,
and both together resolved not only to defend
themselves against the
present attack, but never to
lay down arms until they had obtained some
security that Spain would in future respect the in-
dependence of the Republics. how far they have
succeeded in this Purpose we have yet to
see, but at any rate we have the intelligence
from Madrid that the Minister of Marine on Friday
declared in the Senate that the Pacific expedition°
was at an end. The bombardment of Valparaiso
has brought them no permanent advantage ; in
fact what they gained in Chili they lost in
Peru, and their discomfiture at Callao more than
compensated for their temporary triumph at Val-
paraiso. Since the matter was so nearly at an end
how much it is to be regretted that the English and
American commanders should not have refused to
permit the destruction of the city. The matter
was virtually in their hands, for the Spanish com-
mander would never have dared to embroil his
Government with England and America without
instructions. 'They need not have fired a shot if
they had resolutely remained in the harbour and
defended the town by their presence. As it is
we have given the world another proof of our
timidity and hesitation, we have suffered great in-.

TITA3IES.

ASSAULT ON A DOCTOR'S ASSISTANT.—Levy Isaacs, a Jew,
who described himself as a fruit salesman, of No. 2, St.
James-place, Houndsditch, was brOUght before Mr. Paget
charged with violently assaulting Mr. Richard John Bacon,
assistant to Mr. Budgett, surgeon and apothecary in
Back Church-lane, Whitechapel.

The prisoner made a purchase of a pennyworth of lint
at Dr. Budgett's shop on Saturday night; and ho com-
plained of the smallness of the quantity sold to him ; an
altercation ensued between him and the assistant, and the
prisoner threatened to put his finger up Mr. Bacon's nose
and told him to put that in his pipe and smoke it. Mr.
John Budgett, son of Dr. Budgett interposed, and requested
the prisoner to leave the place, which he refused to do, and
continued to act in a very disorderly and abusive manner.
At last an attempt was made to expel him from the shop,
and he struck Mr. Bacon a severo blow on the mouth
caused his lips to bleed, and loosened one of his teeth.
"'Lewis Tisley, No. 139 ff, said that Mr. Bacon's mouth
was bleeding when he came to Dr. Budgett's shop, and the
prisoner was extremely noisy and violent.
The prisoner, in defence, said that the complainant
struck him first and he retaliated.
Mr. Paget said he did lilt believe the prisoner, and fined
him 40s. In default 14 days improvement.
A DISHONEST WATCHMAN.--JAMOS Mayhew and James
M'Neill were brought before Mr. Paget, on remand,
charged with stealing a quantity of rope, the property of
the London and St. Katherine Dock Company, from their
premises.
Mr. Weatherhead, clerk to Mr. Thomas Beard, solicitor,
defended Mr. Gcmm defended Mayhew. The pro-
secution was conducted, for the Dock Company, by Mr.
Morgan, of the firm of Humphreys, Son, and Morgan,
solicitors. _

Mayhew was a watchman, and specially employed by
the Dock Company to protect the stores on the pierhoad of
the London Dock at Wapping. M'Noill was the con-
ductor of the fire-escape, opposite Wapping Church.
A few nights since a police-constable of the Ii
division, saw the prisoners near the fire escape. Mayhew
we: carrying a bag of rope weighing 661bs, which he
put against the fire escape. The constable asked him
where ho obtained it, to which ho replied that ho brought
it from a barge in the. London Dock. The constable
said he should take him into custody. The watchman said,
" You will not do that ; you know what business is." The
watchman was taken at the time, but M'Neill made his
escapa. lie had previously said to the constable, " Don't
take any notice of that ; it's all right." The rope was iden-
tified as the property of the London Dock Company, and
was stated to bo worth Ils.
Mr. Puget committed the prisoners for trial. .

Sadler's Wells Theatre.

On Saturday evening a very clever dramatic
adaptation of Mr. Charles Dickens's tale, " Our
Mutual Friend," entitled, " The Golden Dustman,"
was produced here with complete and deserved suc-
cess. It would be a needless waste of both time and
space to give even a brief outline of the plot, be-
cause the original work itself is so very widely
known and generally appreciated. It has been
said we cannot have too much of a good
thing, but in adaptation has proved to the contrary,
because in his desire to embrace as much as possible
of the original work he has made his play nearly a
couple of hours too long, and thus the piece which
would give incessant pleasure, if conveyed in a close
and compact form, becomes wearing when it is
spread over four hours and a half. However,
the length of a play is a very easy fault
to be remedied ; the adapter, doubtless,
was present on Saturday evening, and Is ith
the experience he then gained, aided by the stage
manager, a great deal of unnecessary dialogue,
which only impedes the action, can be at once
omitted, and the " go" of the piece will be greatly
improved. The " cast" was a very good one, and
in most instances the performers thoroughly iden-
tified themselves with the wonderful creations of
the Arch Enchanter, and the result was, as we have
already stated, a great success. The part of John
Harmon was confided to Mr. Swinbourne, and,
although it did not present many opportunities
for display, yet it was performed with a care and
judgment that calls for the highest praise. Mr. Bar-
rett, as Mr. Boffins, also went in for honours, and
came off most triumphantly. Mr. G. Belmore, as
Wegg, the sneaking and treacherous friend of Old
Boffins, gave another of those vivid representations
of character which have secured for him so promi-
nent a position in the profession. Mr. M'lntyre
earned very cordial praise for his powerfully
delineated imperionatiota of Rogue Riderhood.
The part of Lizzie Hexham was most charmingly
sustained by Miss Ada Dyas ; there was a natural
grace infused into the whole performance that ren-
dered it one of the great features of the piece. Miss
Fanny Gwynne as Pelter Wilfer also achieved a
great success ; and with a compliment to Miss Ada
Harland for her impersonation of Larry Wilfer, we
take leave of the performers.
The scenery merits the highest praise, the Sailors'
Home at 'Wapping and the Lock on the Thames
more especially calling for special commendation.
The dresses and appointments were quite up to the
mark ; in fact, the piece was put upon the stage in
the most perfect and complete manner, and we con-
gratulate the management on the success that has
attended their labours.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CHARGE OF CAUSING TILE DEATIL OF A CIIILD.—Mr. IL
Chapman, soda water manufacturer, of No. 29, Langham-
street, Marylebone, was charged before Mr. Knox with
causing the death of George Shelley, seven years of age,
by driving over him with a horse and cart.
From the evidence of several witnesses it appears that
on Saturday evening, about 5 o'clock, the prisoner was
driving a horse and van along Langham-street, when two
children (the deceased and a little girl) stepped from the
pavement into the road. The hackney carriage attendant
on tho stand, William Goff, called to tho prisoner to stop,
seeing the danger the children were in, but too late, both
of them being knocked down and the wheels of the van
passing over them. They were immediately picked up
and conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital, where shortly
after one of them, a little boy named George Shelley, ex-
pired, the wheels of the van having gono over his chest,
and the other, a little girl, was found to be much injured,
but sho was subsequently taken home, and there are hopes
that sho will recover.

In answer to Mr. Knox •all -the witnesses stated that
the prisoner-did all in his power td-pull up, that he teas
not going at the rate of more than .ive miles an hour, and
that the occurrence was purely accidental, the children
running right under the horses' feet.
Mr. Knox said it was a terrible tragedy for the parents,
but from the evidence of the witnesses it appeared that the
prisoner was free from blame, and that he was not going
at an undue rate. Ile should remand the prisoner till
after the inquest, and would take his own recognisance to
appear again.

WEST FLANDERS.

The report of the directors states that since the
railway had been handed over to the Societie d'Ex-
ploitation they had every reason to believe that it
had been kept in a very satisfactory condition, and
the receipts from traffic returns had continued to
increase. The accounts for the past half-year
showed that after providing for the fixed charges
there remained a balance of £B,BlB, out of which
the directors had proposed to pay a dividend of 4s.
9d. per share, payable on and after the 15th of May
next, and to carry forward a balance of £2,463.
This sum was not more than sufficient to pay the
call upon the company for bond interest and cur-
rent expenses accruing before the next payment
from the Societe d'Exploitation. According to the
report of Messrs. Hutt and Browne in 1864, 143
shares were then extant in excess of the statutable
number ; 78 of those had been received and can-
celled. The capital account showed that £599,655
had been expended.

DEMERARA.

The report of the directors states that a return
from the manager exhibited the increase in the
traffic which had taken place during the ilast four
years. In the year 1862 the quantity of goods
carried was 28,446 tons ; in the year 1863,
29,152 tons; in the year 1864, 32,319 tons, and
in the year 1865, 40,814 tons. The total num-
ber of passengers carried in the year 1862 was
136,654, in the year 1863 137,524, in the year 1864
181,444, and in the year 1865 189,816. The net
revenue for the six months ending the 31st of De-
cember last amounted to £6,420, to which was
added a balance of £216 from the preceding half-
year, making together £6,636. The preference
dividend would absorb £4,025 of this sum, and the
directors considered that, as the returns from the
colony continued favourable, the time had arrived
when a small addition might be made to the divi-
dend on the original stock. They therefore pro-
posed a dividend on this stock at the rate of 3 per
cent. per annum, leaving a reserve of £585 to be
carried to the next account. The capital account
showed that £252,4.02 harl,been expended. There-
venue account for the half-year ending the 31st of
December showed that £13,074 had been received
and £6,653 expended, leaving a balance of £6,421.
