HULL AND HOLDERNESS.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held at Hull on Wednesday, Mr. A. Bannister in
the chair.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, congratulated the shareholders on the posi-
tion and prospects of the company. The revenue
of the company in 1857 was £6,855, but in 1858 it
was £7,069 ; while their working expenses for the
past year were less by £lO7 than in 1857. The
chairman thought if they got increased revenue
with diminished expenditure they could not be in a
better position.
The motion was seconded and carried unani•
mously.
A dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum
for the past half-year was then declared, and the
proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the
chairman.

BROWN,

This cause came on to be mentioned as to costs.

His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—The costs

the case in which he was successful, viz., that• part of the
colliery and mines in his possession subsequent to the date
of the indenture. And as to the second deed, the plaintiff
must pay costs to the defendant, and, quo ad ultra, the one
set of costs to be set off against the other.

CARDINAL CULLEN.

The Nation—orthodox authority—announces
that the rumour in the Times of Dr. Cullen's eleva-
tion to the College of Cardinals is correct. The
only obstacle to the most rev, prelate's accession to
this dignity has been for some time his great re-
luctance to accept it. Ile is to remain at Rome—
where lie ought always to have been—and be
attached to the Propaganda. Dean Kieran, of
Dundalk, who is named as the person likely to be
nominated coadjutor Archbishop of Dublin, is a
clergyman of moderate views as compared with the
ascetic successor of the late Dr. Murray, and has
been always regarded as a supporter of the national
system of education.

LAIV INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DA Y.)

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.)
IN RE BROADHURST AND ANOTHER-JUDGMENT.

His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—l have read
over the whole of the affidavits that have been filed on this
motion, and I cannot say that it has been satisfactorily esta-
blished that the bill is due. The opinion that I have
arrived at on the consideration of them is, that
the bill has been paid. The presumption arising from
the facts of the case, in the absence of evidence to the con
trary, supported by the Statute of Limitations, is that the
bill was paid. At the last settlement of accounts there was
a bill of costs due from Mr. Scanlewyn to Mr. Owen, his
solicitor, at the end of the year 1849, of £l9. In
1851 a partnership was entered into by Mr. Owen—
nothing was said of this bill—a counter claim
for work and labour done was due to Mr. Scanlewyn,
amounting to £35 ; and the presumption is that the one
debt was set off against the other, and the bill paid.
His Honour considered the evidence of payment satis-
factory, and ordered the bill to be delivered up without
costs.

well, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged withassault.
ing police-constable Richard Smith, 25.5 K.
The constable stated that on Saturday night he heard
loud cries of murder and police in Bluegate-fields, Shadwell,
and there was a general commotion among the inhabitants
of that dreadful place, and oaths, curses, and blasphemy
were intermingled with the shrieks and cries of the women.
There was a wake going on iu the house belonging to the
prisoner—a prostitute was lying dead there, and she was
"waked" by a number of disorderly persons, all of whom were
more orless intoxicated. A woman suddenly emerg-od from the
house, covered with blood, which was streaming from s.
wound on her head. The prisoner followed her, and he
attacked several women and the women attacked hiM. Ha
secured the prisoner, who made an attack upon him, and
swore he would kill him. After a violent struggle with
the prisoner he secured him. The prisoner then mado a
Plunge ati him with a knife, and he narrowly escaped. The
knife glanced by the side of his neck and inflicted a slight
wound. He called for assistance, and the prisoner was
secured.

Inspector Allison, of the K division, said that all the
people in Bluegate-fields had been drunk the last two days.
Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had been
convicted for assaults on the police, assaults on women, and
various other offences.

Mr. Yardley said the prisoner was a most disc sting and
dangerous fellow. Ho sentenced him to one month's im-
prisonment.

SALISBURY AND YEOVIL.

The directors of this company state in their re-
port that the portion of the line from Salisbury to
Gillingham would be ready for opening in the
course of a month. They would then proceed with
all expedition to complete the railway to Yeovil, so
as to open it simultaneously with the London and
South-Western Company's extension to Exeter, at
'the earliest practicable period. The company under
the proposed lease of the line to the South-Western
Company would be entitled to 571 per cent. of the
gross earnings, which per tentage must be com-
muted in the course of twenty years into a fixed
yearly payment, or, failing an agreement botween
the two companies, that amount must be settled by
arbitration. The capital account shows that
.060,711 had been received, and £346,630 ex-
pended, leaving a balance of £14,080.

stopped his obtaining any pecuniary reward for his
long, onerous, and expensive labours, especially at
a time when such agents were alone of any value.
Thus, at one blow, his two years and a half of fruit-
less and continuous endeavour to urge on our
Government to adopt his new system of warfare
(intended to be tried against the enemy's fortifica-
tions on a large scale and at his own expense)
were brought to a sudden and unexpected close.

DEATH OF THE DUKE OF BUCK-
INGHAM.

At a late hour we receive intelligence of the death
of Richard Plantagenet Temple Nugent Brydges
Chandos Grenville, second Duke of Buckingham.
The deceased peer, born in 1797, was the son of the
Marquis of Buckingham, who was raised to a duke-
dom in 1822. Politicians will remember him as the
author of the celebrated Chandos clause of the Re-
form Bill, by which occupying tenants were
enabled to vote at county elections, and the cha-
racter of the county constituencies was revolu-
tionised. The world will think of him as once the
hospitable and princely owner of Stowe, and regret
the want of thrift which laid the glories of that
noble estate low in the dust. The late peer was
Lord Privy Seal in the administration of Sir Robt.
Peel from Sept. 1841, to Feb. 1842, in which lattor
year he was made a knight of the garter. The
Duke occupied the privacy of his later years in
illustrating the history of the first 30 years of the
present century by the publication of family papers.
His " Memoirs of the Court and Cabinets of George
III.," consisting in the main of letters written by
the two brothers, Lord Grenville and Mr. T. Gren-
ville, to their elder brother, the Marquis of Buck-
ingham, set befoie us the observations of one of the
most sagacious politicians of the day upon the poli-
tical events which attended our struggle with the
great Napoleon, and within the last few days the
series was continued in " Memoirs of the Court of
George IV." the last publication of tho noble
author. The mother of the late peer was the sole
representative of Mary, Queen Dowager of France,
sister of our Henry VIII., whose issue under certain
contingencies were named in that Monarch's will
as successors to the Crown of England.
The late duke iff succeeded by his son, Richard
'Plantagenet Campbell, Marquis of Chandos, who
was a Lord of the Treasury in 1852, and has since
been chairman of the board of directors of the North-
Western Railway.

SEEDS.

Notwithstanding that the arrivals of linseed have been
been rather large, the market is firm, and prices are well

THAMES.

CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER. - James Dunmore, a
labourer, of No. 11, Three Colt-street, Limehouse, was
brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with cau ing the
death of George Washer, at the above-named place, yester-
day afternoon.

It appeared that the deceased was in the practice of
visiting a woman named Elizabeth Maynard, at No. 11,
Three Colt-street, where Dunmore and his wife were resid-
ing. Yesterday afternoon a quarrel took place between
the two men, which is believed to have originated in a boast
made by Washer that he had been very familiar with
Dunmore's wife, and had also slept with her, and
could do so again. From words they proceeded to
blows, and a general row ensued. The men fought
for a short time, and Washer fell insensible t
o the
ground. On being raised he was found to be quite dead.
A blow he had received under the ear is supposed to be the
cause of death. There were considerable marks of violence
on tbe body. The women were quarrelling and fighting in
the house after the fatal affray.
Police Sergeant Mossman, No. 2S, K said he took the
prisoner into custody at 9 o'clock last night. Information
had been given to the coroner, and it was expected that the
inquest would be held on the body to-morrow.
Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner.

DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA.

The half-yearly report states that the receipts of
the company for the last half-year exceed those of
the corresponding part of 1857 by £1,171, while
the working expenses exceed those of the corre-
sponding period by £352, thus leaving an increase
of £Bl9 in the net receipts of the half-year. The
net profits of the half-year, after paying working
expenses, interest on loans, and dividends on pre-
ference shares, amount to £17,561. Out of
this the directors recommend a dividend of 335. 9d.
on each £75 share, and 1 ls. 3d. on each £25 share,
being at the rate of 4-1- per cent. per annum. This
dividend will amount to £12,755, and leave £4,805.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. Feb. 19.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

(Sittings at Guildhall, before Mr. Baron Martin
and Special Juries.)
DALES V. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.

Mr. F. Smith and Mr. Littler were counsel for
the plaintiff; Mr. Phinn, Q.C., and Mr. D. D.
Keane appeared for the company.
This was an action to recover compensation in
damages by the plaintiff, who formerly was a porker
in the employment of the company, for false im-
prisonment.
After the case had occupied some time, the learned
judge said he was of opinion that the plaintiff had
no cause of action against the company, and directed
the plaintiff to be called.
He was nonsuited accordingly.
SOLOMON V. THE VINTNERS' COMPANY.

petitioner had supplied her relatives with property
belonging to the respondent. •
The jury returned a verdict for the petitioner
upon all the issues.

GROVES V. GROVES AND TOMPSON.
Mr. Laston appeared for the petitioner, and Dr.
Swabey for the respondent.
This was a petition for a dissolution of marriage,
presented by Edward Groves, a carman in Tower-
street, Waterloo-road, on the ground of the adultery
of his wife, Mary Ann Groves. They were married
in 1849, and have one child. In 1852 they went
to live with the petitioner's father, in Tower-
street. In the autumn of that year, in con-
sequence of disagreements between Mrs. Groves and
ber mother-in•law, Mr. Groves took lodgings for
his wife at a house in John-street, where he fre-
quently visited her. The inmates of the house
discovered in the course of a few months that Mrs.
Groves had more than once allowed a strange
gentlemen to pass the night with her in her hus-
band's absence. They communicated this fact to
Mr. Groves, who immediately separated from her.
She and her child have since lived with the co-
respondent, who is a gas•fitter in the Waterloo-
road.

Dr. Swabey, for the respondent, who pleaded a
denial of the two charges of adultery, first with
divers persons unknown in John-street, and
secondly, with the co-respondent, urged that the
evidence upon the first charge of adultery was not
so conclusive as to justify the jury in acting upon it.
The jury immediately found a verdict for the
petitioner on both issues.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—FRIDAY.
Some spirited betting took place upon the Lincoln Hands-
cap, Broadlands being the lion of the day, and closed de..
cidedly first favourite at 9to 1, taken freely. Orleans II
some time looked very "fishy," 10 to 1 being offered against
him, but subsequently that price became unobtainable.
For the Liverpool Steeplechase the Brewer was remarkably
firm, at any advance upon 9 to 1; for a time 100 to 9 W
currently offered against Jealousy, but closed at 10 to 1,
taken freely—a commission to take that price to £5O belog
unexecuted. 100 to 7 would have been taken about Littlo
Charley. 10 to 1 was taken to £25 about Little Agnes, for
the Northamptonshire Stakes. The betting, upon the
whole, is anything but brisk.

THE EAST.

We have received the Constantinople journals
and letters to the 9th, brought by the Euphrate.
The intelligence of the second election of Colonel
Couza, which reached the Turkish capital by tele-
graph, had caused the greatest sensation, as it was
considered completely contrary to the stipulations
of the Convention of Paris. The unionist party
had concocted a plan, the Constantinople journals
state, for electing M. Nicolas Golesco in both pro-
vinces, but when they found that M. Couza had
been successful in Moldavia, they substituted his
name. The French steam advice boat Salamandre
had left Constantinople for Alexandria, carrying an
imperial firman sanctioning the execution of thirty
of the sanguinary rioters at Djeddah. The Porte
had also been applied to, to levy an extraordinary
contribution of 900,000 f. on the town as a punish-
ment for the massacre, but no order to that effect
has been sent out by the Salamandre. A few months
ago the Porte ordered surveys to be made for the
draining of the extensive plain of Broussa, which,
but for the fevers prevailing there, would be an
inexhaustible source of agricultural wealth. These
surveys having been completed, the Porte has im-
posed on Broussa a contribution of two millions of
piastres for the expense of the draining operations,
of which that town will derive the principal ad-

vantages.

SERVIA.

It has been already mentioned that Prince
Milosch had issued a proclamation to the people.
It was as follows :

"Noble nation and dear brethren—Your old Hospodar
Milosch is again in the midst of you ; and he moistens with
his tears of joy that same country which he delivered with
you from oppression. Fate perhaps decided that we should
have been 20 years without seeing each other in order that
we might be better acquainted. When abroad I wished to
see my country, and you have been on your own territory
like foreign orphans. Thanks to a merciful Creator, my
life has been preserved in order that we, who have
never been separated in heart, might again come
together. You, my faithful nation, have again raised me
through the Skuptschina of St. Andre, to the dignity of here-
ditary Prince of Servia, with the hereditary rights which
had been formerly granted to the Obrenowitch dynasty by
the hatti scheriff issued to that effect. In greeting, by this
proclamation, my well-beloved nation, I once more declare
that during my life my only object will be to consolidate
its happiness and its prosperity, as I in my youth pursued
the object of its deliverance. I will deliver up this precious
inheritance to my son, the legal heir to the Servian throne
and your future chief, Prince Michael. I trust in Provi-
dence that my faithful Servian nation will in the future
support me and my successor with the same ardent love
that has hitherto led us to the happiness, the glory, and the
noble pride of the Servian nation."

LONDON : Printed and Published by MURDO YOUNG,

The discrepancies observable between the Parlia-
mentary papers relating to Indian finance, and the
statement submitted the other evening to the
consideration of the House of Commons by
Lord STANLEY, illustrate in a sufficiently
striking manner the necessity long felt for
one uniform system of currency. These dis-
crepancies the noble lord readily explained
yesterday on moving that the House do resolve
itself into a Committee upon the projected loan.
A glance at the contrasting figures, indeed, will
serve to demonstrate clearly enough the cause of
the apparent error of calculation. It will then be
manifest that much of this was attributable to the
different rates at which the rupee is convertible
into sterling money of our own coinage. The
rupee quoted in the Parliamentary accounts at
ls. 10Id. reduced the " total of the !gross
income of India in 1856-57 to £29,702,000. 'While
the rupee taken by Lord STANLEY in his own
account at 2s. raised the amount of the same
year's income to £33,303,000. The Secre-
tary of State maintaining that his estimate with
regard to the price of bullion was much the more
accurate of the two, acknowledged that this source
of discrepancy did not exceed a total of £2,081,000
—adding, however, that there was another cause
of discrepancy discernible in an omission in his
own account of which he was unaware at the period
of his statement. The Parliamentary accounts, in
fact, included items, Lord STANLEY observed yes-
terday, to the amount of £1,519,000—items which
the Secretary of State himself had not considered
as constituting a part of the public revenue. These
items, E for complete exactitude, we presume,
should have been given at £1,520,000, in-
stead of £1,519,000, the former total added to
the £2,081,000 resulting from the discrepancy in
regard to the estimated i value of the rupee,
making the exact difference of £3,601,000 apparent
between the total on the Parliamentary paper of
£29,702,000 and the total of .L 33,303,000
stated by Lord STANLEY to have been the actual
amount of the gross revenue of India in 1856-57.

After these very lucid and readily comprehen
sihle explanations last night by the Secre-
tary of State, the noble lore concluded this his
second luminous address to the House of Commons
upon Indian Finance, by maintaining the perfect
accuracy of the account already given by him of
the amount of the Debt of India—its sum
total—including the home debt as well as
that raised in India---being in point of fact, pre-
cisely £74,543,000. Sir CUARLES WOOD, on the
other hand, maintained that the liabilities of Hin-
dostan ought more correctly to be stated at
£90,000,000. An insufficient gloom, however, was
cast upon this vital theme to satisfy the morbid
anticipations of Sir ERSKINE PERRY, who in.
listed that the Indian debt ' absolutely amounts
at the most moderate estimate at no
