MANSION-HOUSE.

ALLEGED RonnEux BY A QUONDAM WAITER.—Thomas
Hunt was charged before Sir R. Carden with having un-
lawfully in his possession several pipes and pipe-tubes,
some of which were very valuable, the property of Mr.
Frederick Nex, salesman, corner of Liverpool-street.
Thomas John Nex, who is in the employment of his
brother, the prosecutor, said that the prisoner came to the
sale room about four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and re-
mained there for some time inspecting different articles.
From the information he received from a neighbour, he
took hold of him by the hand, and charged him with
having stolen some of his property. The prisoner said
nothing, but endeavoured to escape. He searched him,
and found the pipes up his coat sleeves, upon which he
called a policeman and gave the prisoner in charge.
Wm. Goodman, an engineer, said he was in the sale-
room yesterday, and shortly after four o'clock he saw the
prisoner come in. He went first to where the infbrior
pipes were kept, but he noticed nothing particular until he
reached the best quality of pipes and tubes, when he saw
him take up several and, after looking about him, thrust
them up his sleeves. He informed the last witness what
he had seen. Ho had never seen the prisoner before, but
ho could swear positivety to his identity.
The prisoner, who declined asking the witnesses any
questions, said that he had been a waiter at the Britannia
Hotel, Burlington, near Hull, where he had been employed
for six months, and had been a week in London to-day.
He left his place because he did not like it.
Sir R. Carden—Most probably you left because you were
not liked, and I shall remand you until the proprietor of
the hotel has been communicated with, for he as well as
others may want you.
The prisoner was accordingly remanded until Wednes-
day.
EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CLERK.— George Franks was
charged with embezzling three sums amounting to £24,
the property of his employers, Sampson, Copstall, and
others, the extensive warehousemen in Bow Churchyard.
John Greene said that he was a cashier to the firm in
question, by whom the prisoner had been employed for 12
years. It was a part of the prisoner's duties to pay the
workmen on Fridays and Saturday mornings, the witness
giving him the money, and the prisoner accounting on tne
Monday for any balance that might remain. Last Satur-
day he gave him £43 13s. 4d., but the prisoner rendered no
account, and on Wednesday, when asked to make up the
books he said he would do so, but witness told him it
would do the following morning. Yesterday the pri-
soner brought him the book in which the payment of
the workmens' wages was entered, and ,he questioned
him about the money which he was charged with em-
bezzling, and he said that, acting under the instructions of
Mr. Osborne, one of the partners of the firm, he had ap-
plied the amount to a particular purpose. Not feeling
satisfied with this statement, he made inquiries of Mr.
Osborne, and discovered that he had not given any in-
structions such as the prisoner stated.
After some further evidence the prisoner was remanded

LONDON DISTRICT TELEGRAPH.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the offices, Cannon-street—Mr. R.
Taylor in the chair.
The report stated that had it not been for the
storm of January last there was no doubt that the
receipts for the past half-year would have shown a
considerable surplus, as the number of messages
were daily increasing. A considerable portion of
the company's property had been renewed on an im-
proved and secure system, with the exception of a
short distance in the south-eastern district, and the
result was that, instead of having three-fourths of
the system overhouse and. unprotected there was
now only about one-third so constructed, the re-
mainder being underground, or equally well protected
by the new routes adopted. The private wire con-
tracts continued to increase, several new lines having
been ordered by Government and the Metropolitan
Board of Works.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said he stood in the very disagreeable posi-
tion of not being able to recommend a dividend. It
was believed that when the company was started
that it would be a success, but it bad not yet turned
the corner of success. The time, however, would
come when it would be the agreeable duty of the
chairman of the company to announce a dividend.
At the present time the company was in negotiation
with the Post-office, the Board of Works, the Fire
Brigade, and the London Salvage Corps, which would
eventually result in a profit to the company.
Mr. STEWARD seconded the motion for the adop-
tion of the report, which was carried.
Mr. Reales was appointed auditor in the place of
Mr. Earmes, resigned, and a vote of thanks to the
chairman concluded the proceedings.

COMPENSATION FOR INJURIES INFLICTED BY A
DRUNKEN MAN.—A farmer named Matthews, living near
Boroughbridge, was sued at the Leeds Assizes on Monday,
before Mr. Justice Mellor, for compensation for injuries ho
had inflicted upon the plaintiff. The plaintiff is a black-
smith and wheelwright at Cowton, near Tadcaster. On
the 19th of October, 1861, the parties were at a sale, and
afterwards went into an inn. The defendant being in liquor
became quarrelsome, and attacked the plaintiff, inflicting
upon him a wound in the cheek, penetrating to the jaw-
bone, and another under the ear, very near the jugular vein.
The defendant had been indicted for the offence, and sen-
tenced to 12 months' imprisonment, which he had under-
gone. The plaintiff now claimed compensation for the
personal injury he had sustained. Before the occurrence
ho had been able to earn from 50s. to £3 per week, but
sinco he could only make 12s. or Hs., and had had to pay
a doctor's bill of ten guineas. The jury. found a verdict
for the plaintiff for £lBO.

In the course of the day the committee also made
grants proportionate to the amount of distress in
each locality from Chelsea, to local committees in
the parish of Rateliff, the parish of St. jude's,White-
chapel, and in Stratford New-town, in all of which
there is great suffering and destitution.

Yesterday Messrs. Byass and Son generously pre-
sented a pipe of port wine ; Messrs. Brown and Mar-
tin six dozen of port; " L. L." 20 bottles of brandy;
and Mr. Clement a box of West India arrowroot, to
be disposed of by the committee in relieving the pre-
vailing sickness.

TIE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17 1866.

the acquirements of our men of science. Surely,
then, we need not rest contented with boiling impure
water when there is no lack of running streams in
England.

The provisions of the new Sanitary Act are very
useful and important, and it is to be hoped that our
various local authorities will avail themselves to the
full of the extended powers conferred upon them.
Every one who has inquired at all into such matters
must be aware how much divided authority inter-
fers with the practical working of the laws hitherto
in existence, and how often a question of routine
or etiquette may lead to serious mischief. The first
ten sections contain important provisions with
respect to efficient house drainage ; the eleventh
gives power to the local authority to supply its
district with water by digging wells, making reser-
voirs , &c. This is a valuable provision, especially
at the present time, and we hope that it will be put
into active practice. Another clause empowers the
chief officer of police to deal with the nuisances of
a district, if .the nuisance authority is proved to
have neglected his duty, but the police may not
enter a house for this purpose without the consent
of the occupier or a magistaate's warrant. To the
list of legal nuisances is added houses overcrowded,
dirty, ill-ventilated factories and workshops, and
furnaces not consuming their own smoke. All
these are fruitful sources of mischief, and their being
placed under the control of the nuisance authority
is a great public good. Among the other provi-
sions are clauses for the disinfecting of houses after
contagious sickness, the provision of carriages for
the removal of the sick, the reception of the corpses
of those who have died from a contagious disorder,
and empowering the local authority to provide tem-
porary hospitals. Penalties are to be enforced
against persons letting houses or driving hackney
carriages known to have been used by persons suffer-
ing from contagious sickness without previously
disinfecting them, and altogether due care seems to
have been taken for guarding the public health
against some of the dangers to which it is at present
exposed without interfering with the liberty of the
subject.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS,
For the year ending 30th June, 1866, read at the ANNUAL
GENERAL MEETING, 10th August, 1866.
CHARLES CHATFIELD, Esq., in the chair.
The have the satisfaction of reporting to the
proprietors that, in pursuance Of the resolutions unani-
mously passed at the Special General Meeting held in
April last, the amalgamation of the National Mercantile
Assurance Society with the Eagle has been carried into
, effect, and two of the directors of that society—Mr. Wil-
-1 coicon (heretofore the chairman), and Mr. William Fre-
derick De la Rue—now occupy seats at the Eagle Board.
The following account exhibits the increased income
and outgoing of the year arising from the junction, which
it may be remembered takes effect retrospectively, and the
balance-sheet shows the assets as they existed on the 30th
June last, augmented by those just transferred.
By the Surplus Fund account it will be seen that the
total income from premiums and interest is £483,376 Os.
11d., and the total outgoing £414,790 13s. 6d. The dif-
ference, £68,585 78. 51, and the surplus fund contributed
by the amalgamated society, viz., £151,545 Bs. 6d., increase
the surplus fund of the company to £899,095 Bs.
The premiums on new assurances are considerably
less than those of the foregoing year; but at the same
time a much smaller portion of them has been devoted to
re-assurance.
The change in the financial position of the Company
precludes an exact comparison with former years. The
expenses of management of the Eagle for the year are al-
most identical in amount with those of the last. The ax-
penses of the National Mercantile Society will, of course,
henceforth cease.
Deducting the several items payable on demand, or at
an early maturity, the realised assets, as set forth in the
balance sheet, amount to £2,559,135 4s. Bd. Of this sum
£178,340 belongs exclusively to the proprietors, £1,481,699
16s. 81* exclusively,to the policy holders, and £899,095 Bs.
partly to the one and partly to the other. The last two
items subject, of course, to exact adjustment at each quin-
quennial investigation.
It remains only for the Directors to mention that, since
the last annual meeting -the Company has lost, by the de-
cease of Sir William Gore Ouseley, and by the retirement
of Mr. Gould, the services of two of the members of the
board. Both gentlemen were much respected, and it is
with great regret that the directors have to make this an-
nouncement.
* £5,880,163 14s. 4d., less £4,398,463 17s. Bd.

this history the august writer has taken for the
foundation of his recital, as often as he could, the
text of Cmsar himself. That brief, summary prose,
haughtily rapid, where the idea is of the action, and
where the author speaks of him only in the third
person, may perhaps be discussed, annotated, ex-
plained, but not ornamented. It is complete ; and
those hasty notes, written or dictated every even-
ing, have the imperious force of the absolute. Cicero,
who was a good judge, said that " Cmsar had writ-
ten memoirs worthy of every praise. Deprived of
all oratory art, his style is similar to a body without
clothing—naked, straight, and gracious." The his-
tory of the campaigns of Cmsar in the Gauls opens
with elevated political considerations upon the neces-
sity, the bearing, and the value of that war. Caesar,
according to the illustrious author, employed on it,
from pure patriotism, a long portion of his life,
which he could have rendered useful in a more di-
rect and rapid mode for the profit of his personal
ambition. Had he been covetous of military glory,
the East offered him more easy triumphs and a
richer booty. M. Gautier proceeds to remark upon
the strategic plans of Caesar, and explains the inci-
dents connected with his passage by the Alps to
France on the left bank of the Saone. The criti-
cism is altogether remarkable, and characterised by
elegance and just appreciation.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE ATTEMPTED MURDER IN THE TOTTENTIAM-COURT-
ROAD.—Titnothy Nolan, a rough-looking ycung man, de-
scribed as a labourer, of No. 5, Beaumont-place, Euston-
road, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being acces-
sory to Joseph Gairdilli, before and after he stabbed and
wounded Win. Paul, alias Alfred William Granger, on
the 13th inst., in the Tottenham-court-road.

Amelia Brophy, a young woman living at Ogle-street,
Ogle-mews, said—On Sunday night last (Monday morn-
ing) abut half-past 12, I was at the corner of the Totten-
ham-court-road and Euston-road. I saw Paul and others,
eight altogether. I saw Gairdilli stab Paul, and draw out
the knife and then throw it to the prisoner. The
prisoner caught the knife, wiped it across his
coat sleeve, and then shut it up and put it into his pocket.
The prisoner then said to Gairdilli, " Charlie, you have
done it—sling your hook" (run away).
Mr. Tyrwhitt—How far off was the prisoner at the time ?

Witness— About three yards. Gairdilli then ran away,
and the prisoner followed him till he got out of sight, keep-
ing his hands in his pockets all the time. I saw no more
of either of them.

The prisoner (in a tone of voice evidently intended to
intimidate the witness)—Did you see me there ?

Witness—Yes.

The Prisoner—You are telling a false lio.

Mr. Tyrwhitt (to whom it had been mentioned that
some of the witnesses bad been threatened by the pri-
soner's companions)—l give notice that if the slightest
threat is held out to a witness in this case, and any of the
persons brought here,l will deal with them with the utmost
severity the law allows. The prisoner will be remanded
and bo brought up next week, along with the person who
used the knife.

The prisoner was taken into custody this morning about
five o'clock, at No. 17, Brook-street, Euston-road, by
Carter and Bootleotou, two ofeloorti 91 the 4 diyigien, and

DISCOVERY OF ANOTHER. FENIAN STOREHOUSE.-
Another Fenian arsenal was discovered at Kilmallock,
county Limerick, yesterday evening, when 500 ball car-
tridges with bullet moulds, cartridge filling machines, were
accidentally found in some ruins. Three respectable far-
mers have since absconded.

AN AFFECTING INCIDENT.—On the occasion of
the late fatal accident on the London and Brighton Rail-
way, and just before the collision between the two trains
occurred, and when the driver and fireman of one of the
engines perceived that it was too late, the following words,
according to the Express, passed between them :—" Joe,"
said the fireman, " there's no help for it ; we're right into
ono another." "yes," rejoined his mate, the driver, "but
I can see nothing but my wife and children at home !"
The words were hardly spoken when-the dreadful encoun-
ter ensued, with the results we 114YQ before reported.
