METROPOLITAN.

A iVharnc,iffe meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the London Tavern ; Mr. J. Parson in
the chair.

The secretary having read the heads of a bill to
confer additional powers on the Metropolitan Rail-
way Company, to enable the company to alter and
improve portions of their authorised works, and to
acquire additional lands to extend the time for com-
pleting certain works.
The CHAIRMAN explained that certain alterations
and improvements were to be made at Bishop's-road
and Finsbury. They had to improve the stations
and ventilate them, which became the more neces-
sary the greater number_of trains they ran. They had
to enlarge the stations at Baker-street, Gower-street,
and Portland-road. Their traffic had doubled, and
the increase was still going on. He moved a formal
resolution approving the bill, which was carried.
The meeting was then made special for confirm-
ing the agreement between the Metropolitan and
Metropolitan and St. John's-wood Railway Com-
pany. _ _

After a discussion the agreement was confirmed,
and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the

proceedings.

The International Horticultural SocietY'

It will doubtless afford the highest gratilieatioo
when it becomes generally known, that through ht of
exertions of the executive committee, the length I
time for keeping open this truly wonderful flora
exhibition has been prolonged. Originally it sc3,,s
intended to close to-morrow with a " shilling daY,',.
but the new arrangement is to keep open until the
end of the month, the admission to remain at the
magic shilling. Yesterday, the half-guinea €l3/'
was a great success. The company was quiet
equal to the opening day, and the weather
splendid. Wkat the attendance will be when the
admission is lower, so as to admit every
lover of the pure and beautiful, we eanl3°-
say, but that it will be extraordinary is h:
yond doubt. Amongst the ingenious contrivance
the exhibition there are one or two t'l4t

than the portable ground vinery of Mr. w ell}

and artificial heat altogether dispensed with. d..

LAW INTELLIGENCE

(This Day.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn.

and Justices Blackburn, Mellor, and Shee,
CLARK V. BURCHETT AND OTHERS.

Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., moved for a rule calling
on the defendant to show cause why a conviction by
justices of peace of Heston, in Middlesex, should not be
reversed, on the ground of misconstruction of the law. It
appeared that the plaintiff was a brick moulder, and was
employed by the defendant, who is proprietor of brick-
fields at Heston, in common with others, to work for
him at a certain price, which contract was reduced to
writing, and he also made a parole promise to
raise the wages of the plaintiff to the same rate of pay-
ment as might be made by the proprietors of adjoining
brickfields, providing they were increased. This ho re-
fused to do, and the consequence was that the plaintiff and
other workmen left his employment, upon which he laid
an information, and they were severally convicted and
sentenced to a month's imprisonment. The warrant for
their committal was, however, suspended, and the facts as
declared by the learned counsel were admitted on the part
of the defendants. He founded his application on the
ground that the magistrates had misconstrued the law in
respect to the circumstances, the oral and written contract
being a part of the engagement, which being infringed the
plaintiff had a bona fide right to quit his employment.
Rule granted.

THE PRIVATE EXEC UTIONS.—Dtinn, the bush-
ranger, was executed within the walls of Darlinghurst gaol
in March. The Sydney Herald states that he had gained
upwards of a stone weight in gaol, and that, judging from
his improved physical condition, his mind could not have
been much disturbed by the fate of his impending doom.
He had slept well during his last night, ate a hearty break-
fast in the morning, and apparently enjoyed the pipe he
smoked afterwards. He was perfectly resigned to his fate,
mounted the steps of the scaffold without assistance, and
in a moment " the young outlaw" had ceased to live ; there
was not the slightest movement after the fall. Thera
were between 60 and 70 persons present to witness the
execution. In the same month the murderer Jones was
executed at Ballarat. To the last he denied that the murder
was a sin at all, and said that his victim was not fit to live.
The Melbourne Argus states that on the morning of the
execution the entrance to the gaol was mobbed, and when
the door was opened to admit persons who had a right to
be present a number of ruffians forced their way in. The
culprit came out of his cell looking pale and subdued, but
not timid. When the bolt was withdrawn a convulsive
twitching and shuddering of the body were perceptible for
more than five minutes, and it was understood that the
pulsations of the heart were felt for some time.

EASTERN BENGAL.

Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this
com-
pany was held at the London Tavern_mrl J. L.
Leith 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 undertaking was steadily progres-
sing. The receipts for the half-year ending Dec. last
showed an increase over those of the corresponng
half of 1864. They were fortunate in being able to
tallow such a result, considering the failure of the
jute and rice crops in Bengal. It was on the jute

goods to the river, and they would then Le enabled
to carry teas of India from the tea d'stricts which
had formerly been carried by water, and which would
then be carried by their line. They were building
stores also for receiving goods and exporting them.
The steamboat service had been working favourably,
and they brought from various parts of India goods
on their railway which otherwise could not reach
them.
The report was adopted, and a vote of thanks to
the chairman terminated the proceedings.

National Choral Society.

Last evening a very attractive concert was gi's'en
by this society in Exeter Hall, under the direction
of Mr. G. W. Martin. It consisted of a variety (/'
ballads, part-songs, and glees, the solos being 51114
by Madame Maria Vilda, Miss Franklein, and
Leigh Wilson, and the glees, &c., by the metal 7:
of the Orpheus Union. The great successes a the
evening appeared to be the performance of the Po
singing, as the remarkable precision with which t,ll i
,a,
were given undoubtedly elicited the most en''. h
siastic applause. The Message by Mr. icflte
Wilson, the Lark by Miss Franklein, and the v—e,
Diva by Madame Maria Vilda, were highly aPPArej
ciated by a very attentive, delighted, and crow
audience.
We have to congratulate Mr. Martin on theti;

THE FIGH r FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP,
London, England, 1866-05-24

National Choral Society.

Last evening a very attractive concert was given
by this society in Exeter Hall, under the direction
of Mr. G. W. Martin.- It consisted of a variety of
ballads, part-songs, and glees, the solos being sung
by Madame Maria Vilda, Miss Franklein, and Mr.
Leigh Wilson, and the glees, &c., by the members
of the Orpheus Union. The great successes of the
evening appeared to be the performance of the part
singing, as the remarkable precision with which they
were given undoubtedly elicited the most en thu:
siastic applause. The Message by Mr. Leigh
Wilson, the Lark by Miss Franklein, and the Caste
Diva by Madame Maria Vilda, were highly ap'Pre;
ciated by a very attentive, delighted, and crowded
audience.

We have to congratulate Mr. Martin on the suc-
cess of his miscellaneous concert, and -doubtless from
the favour with which it was received he Will be
tempted to give one or two more of the WI •
description.

Collard's Concert Boom.

Signor Gustave Garcia and Mr. Walter Bache
gave their annual morning concert yesterday, sviuca
attracted a very distinguished audience. The gre"
feature was a selection from Wagner's opera " T 311,11:
hauser," and the pianoforte performances of 3-Lii
Bache. The vocal portion of the entertainteelle
was well sustained by Signor G. Garcia, Miss, Whse
Hersee, and Mdlle. Linas Marlovelli. Mr. Bae
performed in the most brilliant manner 0201.11
" Allegro de Concert," and the " March" fro
" Tannhauser," and altogether the concert was °nef
„
of a very delightful description. Mr. Benedict, of
course, conducted in the most admirable manner'
and fortunate indeed is the artist, either VOCaI or
instrumental, who has the pleasure of performing
under his direction.

THE SUR, LONDON, THURSDAY 141VE1ING, MAY 24, 1866.

OVEREND, GURNEY, AND CO.

A meeting of shareholders convened by Messrs.
Sheppards, Pelly, and Allcard, was held yesterday
at the London Tavern, for the purpose of forming a
new company to preserve the goodwill of the late
establishment; Mr. Miles Coventry, a holder of 40
shares, was called to the chair.

Mr. SHEPPARD said he had a plan to propose which
he hoped would meet with the support of all present
with a view to preserve the goodwill of the busi-
ness. He had consulted with a number of share-
holders, and his firm felt that, as brokers to the old
company, they ought to do everything in their
power to benefit the shareholders. The company
had given £500,000 for the goodwill of the business
of Messrs. Overend and Gurney, and there could be
no doubt that it was a good business, and he be-
lieved it was well worth what they had paid for it.
He had sent circulars to the 2,300 shareholders, con-
sisting of bankers and others, with a view of obtain-
an expression of opinion as to what should be done.
They had received assurances from several that the
deposits when realised from the old company would
be handed over to the new company. He had no
doubt that if the new company were carried out on
a proper basis it would be successful. They had
already put forth a prospectus for a new company
under the Limited Liability Act. The capital was
proposed to be £1,000,000 in 100,000 shares of £lO
each. The sum of £1 per share to be paid on ap-
plication, £2 on allotment, £2 at three months, £2
at six months, and £3 at 12 months, so that the
capital would be paid in full, no additional calls
could be made, anedcarnoeffullurythienrtrlioadbuiclietdy
