DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE.—Thomas
Higgins and John Smith, who were stated to be Yankee
Irish seamen, and to have lately arrived in the port of
London from New York, were brought up on remand be-
fore Mr. Partridge, charged with highway robbery, accom-
panied with brutal violence.
On Monday night last, between 12 and 1 o'clock, a sea-
man, named Michael Magennis, whose ship went down to
Shields on Tuesday morning, was entering a coffee-shop
in Ratcliffe-highway for the purpose of seeking a
lodging, when the prisoners accosted him and
said they would find him a place to get some-
thing to eat and to sleep in. He joined their
company, and they took him "round the corner" to a
very secluded place where they were joined by three other
Yankee Irish. The prisoners grasped Magennis by the
throat and nearly strangled him, while the others " booted
him" and struck him with their fists. His trowsers pocket
was torn out. It contained a purse with 3s. in money.
Directly the pocket was torn out the prisoners and their
companions ran away. As soon as Magennis recovered
his breath he called out murder and police. William
Ambridge, a police-constable, No. 192 H., saw the prisoners
run away, pursued them, and, with the aid of others
arrested Smith, who dropped the prosecutor's purse and
money. The same constable afterwards took Higgins into
custody, close .to the place where the robbery was com-
mitted. Neither of the prisoners made any explanation
or defence, and they were clearly identified.
Mr. Partridge said he had remanded the prisoners to give
the police an opportunity of apprehending the other men
concerned in a very savage outrage and robbery. He
asked if the prisoners' confederates Lad been traced ?
Ambridge—So, sir; I have not been able to trace them.
Mr. Partridge—l am sorry thoy aro not in custody. The
prisoners are committed for trial at the Central Criminal
Court for highway robbery with violence.

The half-yearly meeting was held at Newton on
Saturday. The Earl of Devon, in moving the adop-
tion of the report (an abstract of which has appeared
in The Sun) congratulated the shareholders on the
fact that the railway was opened for passenger
traffic on the 4th of July last, and on the extent
opened the public had availed themselves of the
accommodation thus provided. The arrangements
for general traffic would no doubt be completed by
the end of October, and by the close of the year
the capital account would, he believed, be closed,
and the entire liabilities of the company ascertained.
But few of the land purchases remained unsettled.
The report was unanimously adopted.

ERIE RAILROAD.

On inquiry at the London Office of this Company we I
are informed that the usual half-yearly dividend will not
be paid. The interest on the Preferred Stock will be paid
during the present year, but not at present. The above
was received from the President of the Company by the
Atlantic Telegraph.
We have to report a very large amount of business in
the London market for American Securities. By the
Atlantic Telegraph advices have been received of heavy
shipments from New York of United States 5-20 Bonds,
which has caused a slight reaction from the highest quo-
tation (691) since our last. The Bonds, however, have
been well bought on Continental account, and the closing
quotations 681 to I is the exact price reported this day
week.
In both Illinois and Erie Shares the transactions have
been of considerable magnitude, largo purchases having
been made for exportation to America. Illinois Shares
remain without alteration at 741 to 751, but the announce-
ment that no dividend would be paid on Erie Shares this
half year has had a prejudicial effect on the Stock, which
closes 40/ to 41, or about 62 lower. In the case of both
Illinois and Erie Shares our market is now relatively
somewhat lower than New York.

WESTMINSTER.

ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Jane Head, a genteel-looking
young woman, was charged with stealing a quantity of
miscellaneous property from the house of Mr. Williams,
Sloane-street, Knightsbridge.
Mr. Williams said he kept a lodging-house, and the pri-
soner was in his service from the Bth of May to the 20th
of July last. During the time she was, there several things
were missed, and amongst them two.,gold rings belonging
to a gentleman staying in the house. As the prisoner wab
leaving, she was asked whether she knew anything about
them, and replied in the negative ; but on search being
made, one of the rings was found in her pocket, and she
soon produced the other. On her saying that she had not
taken anything else she was permitted to go at large, but
subsequently a great number of other things were missed,
and stops taken to apprehend the accused.
_ _

Peter Smith, 163 B, said that he went to Peterborough,
Northamptonshire, last night, and apprehended the pri-
soner. He there found a leathern bag, some lace, a pearl
necklace, and other articles.
Elizabeth Bally, lady's-maid to Mrs. Pechell, identifi3d
the things produced as belonging to that lady.
It was stated that prisoner's father is in prison for felony,
and there is a charge of a similar description against the
mother.

Prisoner pleaded guilty.
She was committed for four months to hard labour,
having been recommended to mercy by the prosecutor. '

By a despatch through the Atlantic Telegraph,
which reached us at an early hour this morning, we

1581. Cotton, middling upland, 35} cents. Five-
twenty United States Bonds were at 109 ; Erie,

THE EXPENSES OF NEW YORK CITY—NEW YORK,

county expenditures for 1866 are $18,000,000, of which
$16,500,000 are to be raised by a direct tax. New York
city pays $3,000,000 of this tax.
I. ADVERTISEMENT.
.1—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
These wonderful productions have now become so appre-
ciated in every part of the world that they form a complete
household treasure ; the worst cases of ulcers, wounds,
and every variety of skin diseases, for which so many re-
medies have been tried without effect, readily succumb to
their power. They act so miraculously upon the system
as to be considered a complete phenomena in the healing
art. For this reason they are advocated by many modern
practitioners, after everything else has proved unsuccess-
ful. Those complaints especially which affect the seden-
tary and studious give way, as mist before the rising sun,
to the influence of the Pills. External wounds are as
readily healed under the Ointment.
