PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAM

coal PA NY.

The annual meeting of this company was Also
held yesterday, Mr. B. Wilcox, M.P., in the chair,
when the report was adopted and a dividend de-
clared of 3 per cent., together with a distribution
of 34 out of the underwriting account, making a
total of q per cent., free of income-tax. It was
stated that since the last report four unserviceable
or small ships have been disposed of, while orders
are now being executed for three large iron
steamers. The Mooltan, the last new
steamer,
which had been fitted with superheating apparatus
and other mechanical improvements for the saving of
coal, has made two trips between Southampton and
Alexandria, and has attained a highly satisfactory
rate of speed with a consumption of only half the
ordinary quantity of fuel. This result is of the
more importance owing to the always heavy ex-
penditure for coal, as much as £BOO,OOO haring
been spent for this item in one year. The whole
service, including that with Australia, has been
worked with efficiency and punctuality during
the past twelvemonths, and no casualties have
occurred, although the aggregate distance an-
nually traversed by the company's ships exceeds
1,260,000 miles. The commercial operations• of
the year have been generally encouraging. The
ordinary revenue has been well maintained, but
a diminution is shown in the total receipts, a
falling off having taken place in the necessarily
fluctuating revenue from the carriage of specie.
Annexed is a list of the company's fleet, in addition
to which there are three screw steamers build-
ing, of a total of 6,400 tons and 1,300-horse
power, and eight transport store and coal ships,
of 10,277 tons, making a total of 83,385 tons and
17,771 horse power

LAW INTELLIGENCE--(This Day.)

COURT OF PROBATE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.)
DOOLAN V. LEIGH.

This was a suit instituted by the plaintiff, Mary Doolan,
for the purpose of establishing the validity of a will exe-
cuted by her mother, Mrs. Mary Leigh, an aged lady, who
died at Bristol in 1861. The will was disputed by the son of
the testator, who pleaded that the document was made
under undue influence.

Dr. Phillimore, Q.C,, for the plaintiff, stated that the
testatrix was an aged lady in comfortable circumstances,
having two annuities, and the interest arising from £1,200,
which she had the power of disposing of, and which formed
the subject of the will in dispute. A previous will to the
one disputed had been executed, by which the testatrix had
left her property to her three children in equal proportions,
but this document was cancelled by another, drawn up by
Mr. Gregory, by which she left the whole of her property
to her daughter, with whom she had been living some
time, as she thought that what she had done during her
lifetime for her two sons had been sufficient. The sur-
viving son, Nathaniel, disputed the present will, and to ob-
tain probate of which the present suit was instituted.
The following witnesses were then called :

Sarah Bidder said—l reside at Bristol. In Nov., 1858,
I was in the service of Mrs. Leigh, and continued so until
the time of her death in 1861. Mrs. Leigh told me that
what she had she intended to leave to her daughter, and
she wished it was a great deal more. Mrs. Leigh said she
was very glad the business of signing her will was done.
The testatrix told me she was very much annoyed that she
had been said by some of her relatives to be childish.
Cross-examined—Mr. Gregory used to call nearly every
day. I don't know that Mr. Gregory was engaged to be
married to Mrs. Doolan, but I suspected so from the con-
duct of the parties.

Mrs. Mary Doolan—l am p'aintiff in this cause. I am
the daughter of the testator. I had a brother George; he
died in Oct., 1858. I have another brother living, Nathaniel.
I married the son of Colonel Doolan. I went to live on
Durdham Downs in 1848. After my brother George's
death, my mother came of her own accord to live entirely
with me. She came in Nov., 1858, and did so down to the
time of her death. I am acquainted with Mr. Gregory, of
Bristol. While my mother was .living, he was in
the habit of visiting me. I was engaged to
him and I still continue so. At that time he was my mother's
solicitor. I recollect Mr. Gregory seeing my mother in 1858.
When the subject of the will was being talked about I
left the room. Somewhere about this time Mrs. George
Leigh called. My mother received her very coldly, and I
recollect Mrs. George, during the conversation, told my
mother she was foolish and childish, which very much
offended her. Mr. Clerk and Mr. Gregory were afterwards
sant for in order to sign a new will in my favour. My
mother was at this time in a perfectly sane and sound state
of mind.

Cross-examined—My mother was very fond of her son
George. I have been engaged to Mr. Gregory for a num-
ber of years. Twelve or 13 or 14 years if you like. I was
not intimate with Mr. Gregory during my husband's life-
time. I was living with my mother when 1 first became
acquainted with him. My mother knew of the engageroont.
There were various reasons why the marriage did not take
place. I should have lost some of my property had I mar-
ried. I cannot tell when my marriage will come eff, as
everthing is uncertain in this world. The amount I should
lose by marriage would be £lOO a-year.
Mr. Gregory was next examined. His evidence was to
the effect that the testatrix, when she signed her will was
in a perfectly sound and sane state of mind.
[The case was proceeding when we went to press.]

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SCENE IN THE HAYMARKET.—NIGHT HOUSES.—
Julius Tennesen, of 9, York-terrace, St. John's-wood, was
charged with breaking a table, at the Turkish Divan, in the
Haymarket ; also with committing several assaults.

Mr. Matthew Tho Tas, landlord of the Turkish Divan,
53, Haymarket, said the prisoner came into his house, with
some others, at 5 that morning, and asked for some coffee,
and shortly after got fighting with another person. Some
of the persons were a lit le drunk, and some were " sen-
sible." He told the prisoner to leave, and the police then
came in. During the fighting some plates and chairs were
broken.

Sergeant Silverton, 16 C, said that 1 earing a disturbance
at the house, he went there and saw about a dozen persons
standing in the room. lie asked the prisoner to leave, and
after the prisoner had knocked a constable down he knocked
him (the sergeant) down. (The sergeant is a tall, power-
ful man.) He (the sergeant) observed some broken things
about the place.

Mr. Knox said it was by no means clear to him that the
prisoner did the damage, and if a person kept such a house
as the Divan, and encouraged disorderly persons there at
5 in the morning, he must take the consequences.
Lees, 241 A, then proved being assaulted by the prisoner.
Mr. John Henry Fuller, traveller to Messrs. Palmer and
Pulbrook, Tower-street, corroborated the police.
Prisoner said he was insulted in the room, and after
having struck a person he fell on the table and broke the
things. Tho keeper of the house seized him as did the
police, who nearly strangled him, and all he did was to try
and flee himself.

Mr. Knox—The fact is you young gentlemen think it a
trifling matter to assault the police.
Prisoner—l was not drunk.

Mr. Knox—l could almost, if the expression is properly
understood, wished you had been. If you, Mr. Thomas,
keep a house and have disorderly persons there, and damage
is done, that is your affair.

Inspector Webb—The complainant has other houses, and
they are kept open till six in the morning, and the other in-
habitants are driven from the place in consequence of their
quietude being destroyed,

Mr. Knox (to the prisoner)—l hope what lam going to
do will be a warn ng to you. Nothing can be more dis-
gusting than to see a young gentleman like you in the
dock under such circumstances. I shall fine you £5 for
each assault on the police, or £lO, and in default two
months.

AMERICAN OUTRAGE ON THE FRENCH FLAG.—
Capt. Guichon, of the French merchant brig Jules et Marie,
just arrived at Havre, reports that, on the 3d of November,
when about 20 miles N. of the light-house of Matanzas, he
was boarded and overhauled by the American frigate San
Jacinto, in addition to which considerable damage was done
to his vessel by the frigate running into her, and carrying
away her masts. The San Jacinto fired a gun to bring the
brig to, but hoisted no colours. The brig showed the
French flag. Immediately on reaching Matanzas, Captain
Guichon reported what had taken place to the French Con-
sul, and drew up a protest against what had been done,
setting forth the circumstances of the incident, and de-
claring that he had been required to show his papers, &c.
The brig was bound from Liverpool to Matanzas with a
cargo of coal.

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT.—MANCIIESTER,
TllESDAY.—Business is quite at a stand in this market.
Since the outrage committed on the Trent operations h ve
been entirely suspended, excepting some speculators' lots,
which have been offered at ex:eedingiy low prices. Spin-
ners and manufacturers do not attempt to press sales ; the
general feeling seems to be to wait for some definite news
as to the intentions of the N orthern States Government.

66,708 16,471

The Governor-General of Algeria has, by a deci-
sion dated from Tlemcen, relieved the Echo, of Oran, and
the Seybouse, of Bona, from a first warning given to them
in August last, and has done so for the reason that, since
the warnings were given, those journals have, in their ar-
ticles, observed propriety and moderation, and also to show
that his intention is to allow the local press all the liberty
compatible with order, moral prosperity, and public tran-
quillity.
