THAMES.

As ACCOMPLISHED RUFFIAN.—John M'Donald, aged
20, and described as a labourer, of No. 3, Devonshire-place,
King-street, Limehouse, was brought before Mr. Paget,
charged with violently assaulting Alfred Reed, a police-
constable 97 K, and Henry Philpot 168 K.
. . .

It appeared that the prisoner had wantonly, and with-
out provocation, assaulted a respectable man and his wife,
in Emmett-street, Poplar, and they appealed to Reed for
protection. He saw that the man who was assaulted was
bleeding, and the woman was crying, and asked why she
should be struck by a ruffian in the public street. Reed
immediately took the villain into custody, and
was leading him away to the station-house when
he struck him and tripped him up. A severe struggle
took place, in the midst of which Philpot came up, and the
prisoner turned round upon him and knocked him down,
and when down kicked him. Philpot got up, and the pri-
soner, who used diabolical language, made a kick at the
lower part of his person,
which partially took effect, and
hurt him very much. A terrible struggle occurred, and
the prisoner was eventually subdued and taken to the sta-
tion-house. It was proved that the prisoner had been in
custody several times and convicted for assaults, drunken-
ness, and disorderly conduct.
Mr. Paget commented on the savage and malicious con-
duct of the prisoner, and sentenced him to three months'
impriso'nment and hard labour—one month for the assault
on Reed, and two months for the assault on Philpot. Con-
stables had difficult and dangerous duties to perform, and
must be protected.
ANOTHER SAVAGE OUTRAGE ON POLICE CONSTABLES.—
Thomas Clark, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget
on a charge of assaulting Richard Walter and Thomas Cliff,
constables of the K division, in the execution of their duty.
This morning, at two o'clock, the prisoner was making
a disturbance in Salmon-lane, Limehouse, and abusing a
person there. He was requested by Walter to go in doors
and not make a noise. He threw a quart pewter pot at his
head. It fortunately missed hitn. Cliff arrived directly
afterwards and attempted to secure him, and the prisoner
got away from him, rushed into his house, and returned
into the street directly afterwards with a soda water bottle
filled with pickles iu his hand, with which he struck Cliff
on the helmet. The blow fell on the peak of the helmet
and touched his nose, but did not injure it. The bottle
was broken into many pieces.
Thomas Melrose, a working man, of No. 9, North-street,
Limehouse, confirmed the statement of the policeman.
Mr. Paget said that, fortunately for the prisoner, the
blow inflicted with the bottle was not attended with the
consequences which could be expected from so savage an
assault. It was a case, however, deserving of severe
punishment. He sentenced the prisoner to one month's
imprisonment and hard labour for the assault on Walter
and two months and hard labour for the assault on Cliff,
in all three months' imprisonment.

THE INDIAN BUDGET.

In reply to Mr. J. B. Sion;
Mr. STANSFELD said that communications had taken
place, and the financial accounts would be presented to the
house about the t4th of May, and he should bo in a posi-
tion to proceed with the Indian budget as soon as it would
be thought convenient by the house after that date.
RAILWAYS AND THE LABOURING CLASSES.
Colonel WILSON-PATTEN asked the President of the
Board of Trade whether they intended to bring forward a
measure they had proposed last session, for the protection
of the houses of tht) labouring classes against railway de-
moliticn, and which was dealt with in the resolution
which the hon. member for Lambeth had given notice of
with h
Mr. GIBSON said it was the intention of the Govern-
ment
to e
d nibnigill,n: it forward next week.
and they were in communica-
tionof with the Metropolitan Board of Works on the subject.
The bill would not quite meet the resolution of the hon.
member for Lambeth, for his resolutionAvould embrace
removals for all kinds of works, whilst the bill of the Go-
vernment would only relate to metropolitan railways.
Colonel PATTEN asked whether the right hon. gentle-
man would introduce his bill before the resolution of the
hon. member for Lambeth was taken into consideration ?
Mr. M. GIBSON replied that he would bring the bill in
in a few days.
PARLIAMENTARY OATHS BILL.

In reply to Mr. IiEwDEGATE,
Sir G. GREY said he did not intend to proceed with
the Parliamentary Oaths Bill on Monday next.
THE REFORM BILL.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said thak
on the 12th of March he should move that that part of the
Queen's Speech relating to the constituencies of counties
and towns should be taken into consideration with a view
of asking for leave to bring in a biil founded thereon.
(Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) With respect to the elec-
toral returns, they were very voluminous, and were under•
going:revision ; he could not say they would not be then
fore in the hands of members as early as he could wish.
Viscount CRANBOURN asked whether the bill would
be road a first time before the returns were produced ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
should only move for leave to introduce a bill. It would
be quite competent for any member to take the sense of the
house as to the first reading of the measure.
THE DEVONPORT ELECTION PETITION.

On the order fur going into committee of supply,
Sir J. PAKINGTON rose, and having remarked that he

and expressed his regret at finding that it was not so, drew
attention to the manner in which certain dcckyard work-
men, who were voters for the borough of Dovonport, had
been examined with reference to their intended evidence

The Arundel Society.

A special general meeting of the members of this
society took place at its rooms, 24, Old Bond- street,
on Wednesday, for the purpose of considering a
scheme for enlarging the basis of the society's opera-
tions. Mr. Layard, M.P., a member of the council,
was called to the chair.

The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, con-
gratulated the members on the prosperous state of
the society. The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of obtaining power to admit members who,
under the existing rules, could not enjoy the privi-
leges of subscribers. The number of subscribers
was limited to 1,500, and there were now 330 asso-
ciates waiting to fill the vacancies that might occur
by death, resignation, or default in the list. On re-
vising the list in January it was found that there was
a slight excess in the limit of 1,500; there was, there-
fore, no hope that any associate could be admitted
for two years. In the meanwhile these associates
were increasing at the rate of 200 per annum. Under
these circumstances the council now proposed a
scheme for enlarging the basis of the society's opera-
tions, and extending the advantages of subscrip-
tion to a new class of members. The council did
not propose to multiply the copies of the society's
works, but to issue more subjects. It was pro-
posed to form two classes of annual subscribers, and
to issue two sets of annual publications, the same in
character but distinct in subject. All the associates
now on the books will be invited to join the
new class, but they will still succeed in order of
priority to the old or first class. The present sub-
scribers will be invited to, join the new class, so that
by paying £2 2s. per annum they would have two
sets of annual publications, one in the spring, the
other in the autumn.

The SECRETARY having read the details of the
proposed scheme,
Sir E. HEAD, Bart., proposed " That the meet-
ing approves of the proposed scheme for enlarging
the basis of the society's operations, and extending
the advantages of subscription to a new class of
members."

Mr. C. J. D u PEE, M.P., seconded the resolution.
After remarks by Mr. J. B. Atkinson, Mr. Tebbs
and Mr. Barton, the resolution was put to The meet-
ing, and carried unanimously.
Mr. E. OLDFIELD, the treasurer of the society,
having explained the positive advantages offered in
the new scheme to each subscriber and associate,
proposed " That the council is hereby authorised to
revise the existing rules of the society, in accord-
ance with the scheme approved by the preceding re-
solution ; and the rules so revised be submitted for
final adoption at the annual general meeting to be
held in the ensuing spring."
Mr. TUCKER seconded the resolution, which was
carried unanimously.
Mr. J. STEPHENS proposed " That copies of the
revised rules be printed and circulated among the
members before the annual general meeting."
Mr. A. ASPL&ND seconded the resolution, which
was carried.

FURNESS.

The•half-yearly meeting of this company was held
on Tuesday at the officer Old Burlington-street ;
the Duke of Devonshire in the chair.

The SECRETARY read the report, which stated that
the traffic of the line had very considerably increased,
and the directors were enabled to recommend a
dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum,
leaving a balance of £5,000 to be carried forward.
Several bills had been introduced into Parliament
this session to enable the company to construct
branch lines, and make working agreements with
other companies. The total expenditure on capital
account was £1,599,230.

The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report,
which was agreed to, and the dividend at the rate
of 10 per cent. per annum was declared on the ordi-
nary stock for the past half-year.

The Duke of Buceleuch, Lord F. Cavendish, Mr.
11. S. Thompson, and Mr. Ramsden were elected
directors of the company, and Dr. Kennedy was re-
elected auditor.

The meeting was then made special, and theex-
penditure on the steamboats was confirmed.
A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the
proceedings.

,NORTII AND SOUTII-WESTERN JUNCTION.

The half-yearly meeting was held at Euston
station on Tuesday ; llr. 11. Tootal in the chair.
The report stated that £7,432 had been received
during the half-year, against £G,536 for the cor-
responding half of 18(34 ; the net balance was
£2,821, out of which a dividend at the rate of 5.i
per cent. -per annum was recommended.

The CHAIRMAN said he had no doubt the opening
of the new line to Broad-street would bring a large
accession of traffic to their line. The number of
passengers carried on the company's line for the last
three years was as follows :--in 1863, 304,672 ;
1861, 300,876 ; 1865, 343,010. Looking at the un-
dertaking in all its bearings, and to the friendly
manner in which the directors were now working
with the large companies, there was every pro-
spect of the company being a great success.
The report was adopted, and a dividend of ss. 6d.
per share, being at the rate of 53- per cent. per
annum, declared.

The retiring directors and auditor were re-elected,
and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the pro-

ceedings.

COCKERMOUTH, KESWICK, AND PENRITH.
The half-yearly meeting was held on Wednesday
at Keswick ; Mr. T. A Hoskins in the chair.

The SECRETARY read the report, which stated
that the accounts with the contractors were not
yet adjusted. They had been placed in the hands
of Mr. Bonch, the engineer, for final settlement.
The traffic receipts for the half-year were £10,680,
and the expenditure £7,235, leaving a balance of
£3,445. After paying interest on debentures, &c.,
£1,723 remained, out of which the directors pro-
posed to declare a dividend at the rate of £1 10s.
per cent., less income-tax. The development of the
mineral traffic was retarded in consequence of the
Marrow branch of the Cleator line not being yet
opened. The directors hoped the line would be
shortli- opened, and also the loop line at Red Hills.

The CHAIRMAN said that though the dividend
was a small one very few of the West Cumberland
lines had paid a larger one within so short a time of
their opening. Nothing could be more promising
than their mineral traffic. Some of the iron ore
had passed over their line all the way to Newport.
If the arrangements in progress were carried out,
he expected that they would have a continuous line
not only to Workington, but to Whitehaven.
The report was adopted, and a dividend of
103. per cent. was declared.

LYNN AND SUTTON-BRIDGE.
Yesterday this short line of communication be-
tween Norfolk and Lincolnshire was opened for

ton, Terrington, and Walpole. The contractors
were Messrs. Waring Brothers and Eckersley.

LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS (LIMITED).

The report of the directors states that they pro-
posed to add from the profits of the half-year £2,500
to the general reserve fund, which would then amount
to £30,000, which, added to the present amount of
the leases renewal fund, £11,866, would give a total
of reserve funds amounting to £48,966. The direc-
tors had purchased the stock in trade of the Rich-
mond Conveyance Company for the sum of £5,180
on Nov. 26 last. The gross receipts of the company
during the half-year ending Dec. 31 last amounted
to £321,829, and for the corresponding half of 1864
to £309,753, showing an increase of £12,076. The
gross expenditure amounted to £294,549, including
improvement of capital stock, and £27,520 for Go-
vernment duty; and for the corresponding period of
1864 to £279,027, showing an increase of £15,522.
The number of passengers carried during the half-
year was 22,641,624, being 637,362 in excess of the
number carried in the same half of 1864, and £11,711
in the receipts. The number of miles run was
6,340,087. The average number of omnibuses work-
ing daily was 604, and the number of horses 6,451.
The average receipts per mile run was Is. per mile,
and the fare per passenger 31d. The gross earnings
per omnibus per day averaged £2 17s. 101 d. The
available balance for dividend was £33,320, which,
after deducting £5,000 for first establishment charges
and reserve fund, left a balance of £28,320. Out of
which the directors recommended the usual dividend
of 5 per cent. per annum, and a bonus of ls. per
share, equal to 7l per cent. per annum, free of in-
come tax, leaving £5,619 for the next account.

The half-yearly meeting was held on Tuesday,
at Fenchurch-street terminus ; Mr. C. J. Eley in
the chair.

The report, an abstract of which has appeared in
Tire Sun, was taken as read.
The CHAIP.MAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said with reference to the proposed Thames
Haven works that he believed that the company
would carry over their line a very large portion of
the cattle coining from Rotterdam to London.
The Cattle Plague Act would, of course, put a stop
to their cattle trade ; but that was not of so much
importance, as the proprietors were in the receipt
of 6 per cent. from the lessees. The stoppage
would probably be only temporary.
The report was adopted, and Mr. Finney was
elected a director in the place of Mr. Cope, who
resigned.

report stated that contracts for the construction of
the section of the railway from Scot's Gap to Roth-
bury had been let for the aggregate sum of £44,498,
exclusive of the materials for the permanent way.
The whole of the land on this section had been ob-
tained for an annual rent charge in lieu of by pur-
chase, thus leaving the subscribed capital available
for the construction of that portion of the line,
which it was expected would be opened for traffic in
about 12 months. The report was adopted. Sir J.
S winburne, Mr. Hodgson, and Mr. Grey, the retir-
ing directors, were re-elected; and also Mr. Foster,
the retiring auditor.

and debenture interest had
been duly received from the

had arisen with that com-
pany- in reference to the doubling of the. line, and

expended, to have 5 per cent, preference stock
of the London and North Western. The
ediectors
recommended this proposal should be accepted.
Mr. ACKRILL opposed the proposition.
A dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum
was declared for the half year ; and Mr. Brown and
Mr. Bailey, 1%1.P., were re-elected directors.

LLYNVI VALLEY.
The half yearly meeting was held on Tuesday at
the Royal Hotel, Paddington ; Mr. Macgregor in
the chair.
The report stated that the traffic receipts amounted
to £11,218 against £10,716 for the corresponding
half of last year. The working expenses, with in-
terest chargeable to revenue, amounted to £6,688,
leaving a balance of £4,529. Of this sum £3,744
would be required for dividend, at the rate of 5 per
cent, on the preference stock, leaving £785, to
which the directors proposed to add £596 from the

reserve fund, in order to pay a dividend on the
ordinary stock at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum.
The reserve fund would then amount to £2,728.
The capital expenditure was £319,513.
Resolutions were passed adopting the report, and
declaring the dividends recommended therein pay-
able on the 10th of March.
London, England, 1866-03-02

GREAT WESTERN AND BRENTFORD.

The half-yearly meeting was held on Tuesday;
at the offices, Victoria-street, Westminster ;
P. Davey in the chair.

Mr. C. E LEY, secretary, read the report. It stated
that the traffic carried over the railway during the
past half-year, according to the returns furnished
by the lessees-, showed a total of 55,315 tons of ge-
neral goods, and 30,493 tons of coal and stone,
being a decrease of 2,555 tons of the former, and
an increase in the latter of 6,638 tons, as compared
-with the preceding half-year ; and it was hoped from
the exertions made and the general reduction in the
coal rates from South Wales by the Great Western
Company would go on increasing. The arbitration
which had been so long on hand had been com-
pleted by the delivery of the umpire's award, which
confirmed in every way the view taken by the
directors of the agreement between the two com-
panies. The amount at the disposal of the share-
holders was £2,718, which, after paying dividends
on the preference shares, allowed a dividend of 2
per cent. per annum upon the original share capital,
and left a small balance.

The CHAU:MAN, in moving the report, stated
that he anticipated that in the course of time the
whole of the enormous coal traffic from South
'ales would be sent to London per rail. The
Great Western had reduced their rates so consider-
ably that when the cost of marine insurance was
taken into account coal could be brought nearly as
cheaply by rail as -by sea ; in addition to which
there was the great advantage of certainty and re-
gularityin the delivery.

Mr. IloßATio DAY-(deputy-chairman) seconded
the report, which was unanimously agreed to, and
the dividends were declared.
The retiring directors and auditors were re-
elected, and a vote of thanks to the chairman and
directors concluded the proceedings.
