but that was an error on the part of himself. The
solicitor for the London General Omnibus Com-
pany had evinced a disposition to purchase the
goodwill of the company's omnibuses. It was ridi-
culous to say that some of the company's horses
were not worth £lO each. There had been no
execution in the company's premises, except by the
superior landlord who had no claim. The company
had been sued by Lloyd John Aysford, Borsley,
and the London General Omnibus Company.
A statement was read showing that the com-
pany, so far from having lost three-fourths of its
capital, had a surplus of £5,400. There was also
a patent, and a claim upon the London General
Omnibus Company for£lo,ooo for injuries sustained,
as referred to Mr. Barstow, barrister, before whom
100 witnesses had been examined.

It was here stated that the petitioner estimated
the company's assets at £2,800, and the debts were
£6,000 and upwards.
The Commissioner said nothing would be more
unfair than to value the stock with which a business
was being carried on according to the sellins price.
The stock of the greatest brewers in the kingdom
would, perhaps, if sold, not produce one-tenth of
the value. He thought the fair valuation was on
the side of the company, and that three-fourths of
the capital had not become lost or unavailable.
The petition would be dismissed with costs.

ANNUAL MEETING THIS DAY.

The annual meeting of the Provincial Bank of Ireland
took place this day—Mr. 0. Parrer in the chair.
The report stated that owing to the late rate of interest
during the past year the net profits had diminished, but
they had, nevertheless, amounted to £110,157 18s. 10d.,
which, added to the former balance, raised 'the undivided
profits in Marh 26, 1869, to £236,521 9s. 10d. ; from which
the directors proposed to pay, in addition to the usual divi-
dend, an extraordinary dividend of 30s. per £lOO share,
and 12s. per £lO share ; making the amount to be thus
paid—L2 10s. on each £lOO, share, and £1 on each £lO
share.

There was some discussion in respect to the state
of Ireland and the financial state of the company when the
report was adopted, and the usual vote of thanks was
passed to the directors.

POLICE IN.7'ELLIGEIVCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ILLEGAL DISPOSAL OTWATCHES.—SEVERAL CHARGES.
—John Nicoll, an elderly man, a watchmaker, residing at
26, Castle-street, Oxford-street, was charged 'befre Mr.
Bingham with illegally disposing of a gold watch.

There were several other persons in court ready to prefer
charges of a similar nature against the prisoner.
Mr. Richard Brady, of Fitzroy-street, said at the end of
December last he entrusted the prisoner with a gold watch
of the value of £3 10s., to repair, and he had since made re-
peated applications for its restoration ; on every occasion
prisoner telling him it should be returned in a few days.
He had since ascertained that it had been left with a person
named Graves, who had advanced some money on it.
George Graves, shopman to a tobacconist of 10, High
Holborn, proved that the prisoner left the gold watch with
him, he advancing £3 on it by way of loan, and the pri-
soner leaving the watch as security.
Shillingford, one of the warrant officers of the court, said
on searching the prisoner at the station he found 16 dupli-
cates on him relating to gold and silver watches, gold
Albert chains, &c., pledged for various amounts, from £2
10s. to £7—in all to the amount of £42. He wished for a
remind, as he thought other parties would come forward.
Mr. Bingham said he would go into no further charge at
present and remanded the prisoner.

RUSSIA.

The Russian forces which are to protect the
provinces bordering on Austria," says the Ital.
pendance of Brussels, " are becoming very considers
able. Our correspondent at St. Petersburg has
mentioned the mobilisation of two corps d'arillee-;
the 3d and 4th—presenting an effective strength
of 70,000 men, and afterwards of the sth, 111
Bessarabia, amounting to 26,000, and be now
states that similar orders have been given for te.
corps which occupies Lithuania, and another
whichlll
Poland. These particulars, the exactness of
we think we can guarantee, complete and rectify
a telegraphic despatch published in the Bu t°
journal the _Nord, and dated from Berlin. The
mobilisation must, according to that despatch,
comprise all the corps d'armee from the Ist to the
6th. That is an error. The 3d and 4th corps
ought not to have been mentioned, because they
had been previously mobilised. As to the 6th corps?
that of the central army, the headquarters of which
are at Moscow, it is very rarely, if ever, mobilised.
The five corps which have been, or are about to be,
mobilised, constitute together a force of more than
200,000 men. This measure, although it cannot
fail to produce some sensation in Germany, has
nothing but -what is perfectly natural, and is only
what is being done both by England and Prussia.

The British barque Canrobert, of Bristol, which
has been at Gibraltar for some time past effecting
repairs, grounded off Punta Mala on the afternoon
of the 6th, while in the act of beating out of the
roadstead to move her berth. The captains and
crews of the American ship Hope, Prussian barque
Kanningun Elizabeth, and of eight British vessels
in port, went immediately to the assistance of the.
Canrobert. She was got afloat on Saturday after-
noon without damage, having grounded on a sandy
bank.

The British barque Glenain, 18 days from North
Shields, with coals for Port Louis, arrived at Gib-
raltar on the 3d. Richard Stevenson, late master
of the ship, fell overboard on the 27th ult., in lat.
40 N., long. 14.30 W., and was drowned. The
vessel lost part of her bulwarks, &c., and suffered
other damage.
The following is the report of the master of the
brig Lively :
" On the 24th of April, the Lively, Joseph Ham-
shaw, from Swansea for Gibraltar, blowing hard
from the S.E., sprang a leak, and was obliged on
the following day to signalise the Russian barque
Lubinka for assistance. On the 26th (the barque
still in company), the leak gaining upon us, not-
withstanding all hands being continually at the
pumps, we were obliged to leave our vessel and go
on board the barque for the preservation of our
lives, in latitude 43.58 N., longitude 11.18 W.,
Cape Finisterre bearing by compass S.E. by S.,
distant 108 miles. On the 3d of May we were
abreast of Gibraltar, and at nine a.m. put on board
the Prussian brigantine Rosina, in which we were
brought to this port (Gibraltar.)"
The schoonerlndustrious, of Dartmouth, while on
her voyage from Liverpool to Rio Grande de Sul,
with a general cargo, experienced very severe
weather and sprang a leak, which increased so much
that the master (Couch) and crew were'obliged to
abandon her on the 30th of April, and got on board
the Norwegian barque Norna, of Stavanger, in
which vessel they arrived off Gibraltar on the 3d
inst., and landed the same day in their own boat.

I rre(roleirci-oThis, however, assi EW S PAPER
that the great bulk of disease is now as n
distributed among different districts as it was -du - rr
•4\i,4
ing those years to which my former report rela
and that the excess of general death-rate in tow 1-
districts is now, as it was then, essentially dep
dent on the very great development of prevratab _ /
diseases, That more than half of our annum'" mer. n • s
tality results from diseases which prevail wiell'a
very great range of difference in proportion as stini-
tary circumstances are bad or good—that, according
to the latest available evidence, some of these
diseases prevail twice or thrice, some of them
ten or twenty times, some of them even forty
or fifty times, as fatally in some districts as in •
other districts of .England; that _the result _of
their excessive partial development is to render the
`mortality of certain districts from N to 100 per
cent, higher than the mortality of other districts,
and to raise the death-rate of the whole country 33
per cent. above the death-rate of its healthiest parts
—these are the broad facts which I respectfully
submit for your lordships' consideration to illus-
trate, so far as existing information permits, the
present average state of the public health. In con-
clusion, I beg to observe that, even in the very dis-
tricts to which provisionally I refer as standards of
health, there are deaths of a preventable-kind ; not
many, indeed, but enough to satisfy your lordships
that the healthiness of those districts, as compared
with perfection, is but of moderate excellence ; and
enough to show that, if in these districts the popu-
lation had exhausted all known means for remoying
the cause of disease, their death-rate would have
contrasted still more strikingly with that of the
unhealthier districts."

STATE OF TRADE.

LEICESTER, 13Th.--There is not much change in
the hosiery trade, business for the most part being
exceedingly quiet ; a change for the better is, hcw-
ever, expected shortly. In the country districts the
hosiery trade is dull. There is no important change
in the price of material, superior- wools realising
good prices.

NOTTINGHAM, 18n1.—The lace trade is quiet,
and although some of the warehouses are doing a
fair stroke of business, manufacturers, generally
speaking, are very indifferently engaged. In the
home trade there is rather more doing, and more is
expected to be done shortly for export. Some small
failures have taken place during the last few days,
Some orders have been receired for mosquitos and
plain nets, and mechlins are still in request. The
hosiery trade is still brisk, and while the demand
for home consumption is steadily on the increase, •
manufacturers have orders on hand for the Ameri-
can market. There is very little change in the
price of material.

FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION.

A fearful fatal boiler explosion, unfortunately
attended with loss of life and serious injury to per.
sons and property, occurred on Saturday last, about
a quarter past one in the afternoon, at the works of
Messrs. Taylor and Shepherd, at Holling's Wood,
Oaken Gates. The boiler, a very powerful one,
had been at work during the whole of the forenoon,
and whilst the men were engaged in their ordinary
occupation a sudden explosion took place, the end
of the boiler being blown out, carrying ruin and
destruction to everything around. At the time of
the accident one of the workmen, named Thomas
Fereday, was talking to Mr. Lewis, the manager,
when he was struck with a portion of the iron
plating, and carried to a distance of 15 yards ; his
death was instantaneous, whilst the escape of the
manager was most miraculous. Others engaged
about the works were unhappily not so for-
tunate, as we learn that from ten to twelve
men and boys were more or less seriously in-
jured,; some of whom are not expected to survive.
An inquest was appointed to be held on Monday
afternoon, on the body of poor Fereday, who, we
regret to say, has left a wife and family to deplore
his loss. The damage to the works is very great,
and will involve the :firm in considerable expense.
We learn that at the moment of the explosion a
train was passing along the Great Western Rail-
way, close to the scene of the catastrophe, but for-
tunately the wreck of the boiler took a different
direction, and thus, in all probability, prevented a
still more serious accident. As it was the line was
strewed with slates, bricks, and pieces of iron.
There was, it was stated, an ample supply of water
in the boiler at the time the explosion took place,
and many conjectures are in circulation as to the
cause of the sad calamity, but we have no doubt
that a full and careful investigation of all the cir-
cumstances
connected with the melancholy occur-
rence will be instituted by the jury as well as the
proprietors of the works.—Birmingham Post. •

GLAMORGANSHIRE.

In various parts of this county active steps are
being taken to organise rifle corps. At Cardiff a
public meeting, largely attended, has been hold, at
which the Mayor, r, C. Q. Willl=3, presided.
In opening the proceedings the chairman observed
that the progress of events during the last 20 years
showed the necessity of forming an efficient protec-
tion to the shores of this country, and lie raped a
good fighting cars wclUld bo established in the
town,

On the motien of Mr. BIRD, solicitor, it was
resolved those Wll9 WerP of joining
should transmit their names to the town clerk, who
would afterwards convene a meeting to consider
and settle the required rules and regulations far the
go-eminent of the corps. Jt was svitecl to the
uniform, arms, and accoutrements of .the Exeter
Rifle Corps would be the best to adopt, the total
expense not exceeding £8 2s. 6d., including the
new Enfield rifle. Since the meeting a consider-

OXFORD.

A numerous body of graduates and undergradu-
ates, interested in the establishment of a rifle club,
met in the hall of Jesus College; in consequence of
a requisition that had been sent to each common
room. The senior members chose the following :
The Provost of Queen's ; Mr. Tyrwhitt, Christ
Church; Mr. Dyke, Jesus; Mr. Evans, Pembroke;
and Mr. Du Boulay, Exeter ; the undergraduates
selected Mr. Lane, Christ Church; Mr. Askell,
Pembroke; Mr. Cullen, Brasenose ; Mr. Brassey,
University ; and Mr. Griffiths, Wadharn, to form a
joint committee of management. The -joint com-
mitttee subsequently transacted some preliminary
business, having elected the ProvOst of Queen's
chairman, and Mr. Cullen secretary. The feeling
which generally prevailed was in favour of esta-
blishing a riffle club, which might exhibit a ten-
dency of merging into a corps.

ONE HUNDRECIg P(gr.TOT REWARD ON

The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious Imitations of
DU BARRY's invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA
LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and,
upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of
Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred Hooper
Nevill, and his agents, under a penalty of £5,000, from selling
any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du
Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro-
prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above
reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor-
mation of ' any breach of the injunction. An intelligent
public requires no admonition to shun all shopkeepers who
may attempt impositions. London : BARRY DU BARRY

APPEAL.-JUDGMENT.-FOWLER V. FOWLER.

This was an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor
Kindersley, dismissing the plaintiff's bills. Plaintiff, by
his bill, asked to reconstruct or reform a deed executed by
him in June, 1842, on the ground of mistake, including his
father's property, whereas he contended that he was
entitled to the sum of £20,000, provided for him by this
deed out of his mother's property alone.
The Lord Chancellor considered that the plaintiff had not
made out such a case of mistake in the preparation of
this deed as to entitle him to reconstruct it. The deed
referred to a schedule containing his father's property, and
another schedule containing his mother's property, and he
was not entitled to say that he executed this deed in igno-
rance that it did not refer to his father's property. Tiff
lordship affirmed the decision of the Vice-Chancellor, and
dismissed the appeal with costs.

SPORTING NOTES.

FROM BATH TO HARPENDEN.

The Bath Meeting was a great success. The
character of the sport was of no ordinary descrip-
tion, for amongst the animals that entered the lists
during the two days were a third favourite for the
Derby, a first favourite for the Derby, 1860, and a
prominent favourite for the Oaks. The returns of
the racing which have been daily published, how-
ever, have already made the reader acquainted with
the most prominent incidents of the sport ; I shall,
therefore, place before him a few rough notes on
the Derby Doings. The firm attitude assumed
by the supporters of Promised Land has seemingly
discouraged his opponents. No attempt was made
to shake his position. During the three days he
could not have been backed for less than about
£3,000. Strong hostility was arrayed against
Musjid, and it appeared at one time calculated to
produce a most damaging effect upon his position,
but the confidence of his friends revived yesterday.
Trumpeter has quite superseded Marionette in the
betting, and he seems a horse to be trusted. I
am not alone in the opinion that he is the best
looking and the best goer that we have seen out
this year. The fuss which is made about
his queer leg is absurd, and I fully expect
that he will not only " stand" till the
Derby Day, but that, as " Argus" would say, he
will be " painted." Electric is not over steady,
albeit a slight demonstration was made in his favour
yesterday. Highwayman was convicted of roguish
propensities on Tuesday, and Ticket•of-leave is in
little request. The outsiders are sometimes men.
tioned, but no one appears inclined to give them
support. Enfield is only nibbled at. This after-
noon, at the Corner, however, some important
changes may be effected in the price current.
The pleasant and crowded meeting at Harpen-
den, where tramps and show folk halt en route to
Epsom, will come off to-morrow, and the sport will
be interesting and abundant enough to draw a
large number of bookmakers and others from " The
Corner." For the Handicap, Minster and Catherine
may run forward, and the Two Year Old Stakes
would seem a gift to Mr. E. Hall's slashing filly
Seclusion.

PLYMOUTH.

A public meeting of the inhabitants, Mr. Skar-
don, the Mayor, in the chair, was held on Wed-
nesday in the Town-hall, which was nearly full.
Mr. Hawer, whose father raised a regiment of
militia in Plymouth in the present century, pro-
posed the following resolution, which was carried
unanimously :---
"That this meeting is of opinion that it is highly
desirable to form volunteer corps throughout the
country ; and in accordance with this opinion
pledges itself to assist in forming a corps of volun-
teers, to be called The Plymouth and West Devon
Volunteer Battalion.' "

It was subsequently determined to form prelimi-
nary committees and to raise voluntary subscrip-
tions.

During the discussion Lord VALLETORT, the
newly-elected member for the borough, Strongly
urged the propriety of forming artillery corps 'for
places situated like Plymouth. The fortifications
mounted 300 guns, and would require 2,000 artil-
lerymen. Volunteers might be told off in detach-
ments of seven men to each gun. Much powder
need not be used, for on board the gunnery ship
Cambridge, in Hamoaze, rifles were fixed in the
guns, and although in point of ditance the exercise
might not be so advantageous, yet considerable
facility was obtained. No doubt the Government
, would appropriate some of the guns in the fortifica-
tions to the use of volunteers. At the battery on
Picklecombe Point every accommodation' had been
afforded, and four guns apportioned to the 28 men
selected from the labourors on the Mount Edge.
combo estate. His lordship concluded by moving.
a vote of thanks to the Mayor.

GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE.

Two gifts have just been placed at the disposal
of Government—the first, the Chairmanship of the
Sessions of the county of Clare, void by the death
of Mr. William Malor, Q.C. ; the second is the
Solicitorship to the Board of Excise, about to be,
vacant by the retirement, after many years' service,
of Mr. Mark Anthony Saurin, a son of the late
Right Hon. William Saurin. The office has been
conferred upon Mr. John George Smyly, Q.C. ; the
emoluments are reported to be about £1,600 a-year,
and the duties by no means onerous. Mr. Major
had attained the patriarchal age of fourscore
years, and retained all his faculties to the last.
The Evening Mail gives the following as legal
rumours :—" Mr. Sergeant Rowley, who is spoken
of as the probable recipient of promotion, is a
Roman Catholic, and in the present state of rela-
tions between Cardinal Wiseman and the Derby
Government the learned gentleman's elevation to
the Bankruptcy Court could not take any party by
surprise. It is rumoured that the Hon. Patrick
Plunket, one of the Judges of the Court of Bank-
ruptcy, is about to retire. Mr. Plunket has been
for some months incapacitated by severeillness
from attending to the duties of his office, and it is
therefore probable that he his been called upon to

The committee appointed at a Public meeting on
Monday last met yesterday to devise practical
measures for the organisation of a volunteer rifle
corps in that town and neighbourhood. Sub-
committees were appointed for the various districts
comprised in the hundred of Wirral, and a deputa-
tion was chosen to wait upon the Lord-Lieutenant
and the Secretary of State for War,
