LONDON, FRIDAY, FEB. 28, 1868.

The public will learn with satisfaction the deci-
sion of Sir THOMAS HENRY in refusing to issue a
warrant against Mr. EYRE for the murder of GOR-
DON. It is, indeed, surprising that after this lapse
of time, and the many previous attempts that have
been made in this direction, a new endeavour should
have been witnessed to bring the ex-Governor of
Jamaica to justice ; but there is no accounting for
the infatuation which possesses people when they
take up notions and persist in them without regard
o the suggestions of reason and the experience of
time and place. A magistrate never had a better
reason for refusing such an application than had
Sir THOMAS HENRY ; for it will be remembered
that the case of General NELSON and Lieute-
nant BRAND was brought before the LORD
CHIEF JUSTICE and the Grand Jury of Middlesex,
and the result was that the accused were discharged,
a true bill not being found against them. Mr. EYF.E,
on his part, was brought before a bench of magis-
trates, in Shropshire, and they dismissed the appli-
cation as groundless. It is not advisable, at the pre-
sent time, to go over the old ground of the Jamaica
controversy. Opinions will remain divided on this
matter, and they have hitherto been, but we must
protest against the course pursued by the Jamaica
Committu. Notwithstanding all that has been
said on the subject of their extreme proceedings,
and the general expression of public opinion on the
matter, it is, indeed, out of character that a new
prosecution should start up, and that Mr. EYRE should
be again annoyed by the evidences of their misguided
zeal and ill-directed energies in the cause of the
revolted negroes. It is still open to the prosecutors
to prefer a new bill before another grand jury if
they think fit, but we should hardly think they

GREAT WESTERN AND BRENTFORD.

The annual general meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the offices, Victoria-street; Mr.
P. Davey, M.P., presided.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, called attention to the diminution in the
goods traffic. In 1863 the tonnage of general goods
amounted to 133,320 tons, and last year the quan-
tity was only 106,023 tons. The diminution was
attributable to the financial difficulties of 1866,
which seriously affected the iron trade of South
Wales, and to the great competition among the
larger railways, which had diverted the traffic to
other channels. lie felt, however, that when trade
resumed its wonted activity the shareholders might
look for some improvement. The coal traffic had
been fully maintained, and there was every pros-
pect of a larger traffic in this department. The
directors, notwithstanding that debenture securities
were not so popular as formerly, had experienced
no difficulty in disposing of those they had to offer.
The revenue for the half year left an available
balance of £2,934 ; after deducting £1,727 for pre-
ference dividends there remained a dividend on the
ordinary shares of 21 per cent.
The report was adopted and the dividends were
declared. Air. 11. Donkin was re-elected a director,
and Mr. Wyatt an auditor, and the proceedings
terminated.

by drink and excitement, she had not been able to control
desire to throw herself out of window. She was removed

1112 REV. MR. SPEKE.

• -
This gentleman on his arrival in London *as well I
advised in at once placing himself under medical care. bt.
Gull and Dr. Tuke, the physicians consulted, recommend
an entire cessation from clerical, duty for some time longer,
rest of mind and body, and change of climate. Mr. Speke
will therefore proceed in a few days to the South of France,
probably with his relative Mr. Murdoch. The late
mysterious disappearance of Mr. Speke from London was
not altogether a sudden impulse, but rather a deliberate
determination arising from erroneous impressions which now
seem happily removed. The fact that he has been travelling
on foot during the last few weeks through the wildest
parts of Devon and Cornwall accounts for his ignorance
as to the excessive extent of the public alarm and anxiety
as to his fate, and for his silence, which he now regrets. It
was singular that during his journey he should have only
once heard his name mentioned ; and by this circumstance
he was confirmed in his belief that he would soon be alto-
gether forgotten. We are enabled to state on undisputable
authority that there has never been any accusation of mis-
conduct brought against Mr. Speke, and that he is much
loved and respected by his parishioners. We trust he may
soon be restored to his life of usefulness. The immediate
cause of his illness was probably the mental shock he ex-
perienced in the melancholy death of his much-loved
brother, the distinguished African traveller.—Lancet.

COMPENSATION CASE.—At the Guildhall, West-
minster, yesterday, a compensation case, Daldy v. the
Metropolitan District Railway Company, was heard before
the Deputy High Bailiff, Mr. Toogood. The claim was in
respect of Daldy's coffeehouse, in Tothill-street, both for
the leasehold interest, and the loss of business consequent
on removal. The special jury made a personal inspection
of the premises, and after their return the matter was
settled, and a verdict recorded by consent for £1,200. Mr.
Lloyd, with whom was Mr. Barron, appeared for the
claimant; Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and. Mr. Tatham were for
the company.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

TIIE COURT OF PROBATE.
(Before the Right Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde and a
Special Jury.)
PEACOCK AND PEAKE V. LOWE AND LOWE.

It will be remembered that this is a suit instituted
to test the validity of the will of a Mr. Moore, a
solicitor in Lincolnshire. The facts of the case
were, that the testator had one daughter who
had married against his wish a Mr. Cowauce,
from whom she separated in eleven months, and
subsequently eloped with a Colonel Lowe. A
divorce was obtained, and she married Colonel
Lowe. The testator stated that he would not leave
her anything, and made a will, now in dispute, by
which his property is left to his wife's sisters, the
plaintiffs.

The case was not concluded when we went to
press.

THE IRISH FENIAN TRIALS.

landers, and a troop of Dragoons are in town.

MARKETS—(2 his Day.)

CORN,

The general tendencies of the market are not materially
changed. Arrivals of English grain are light, and of foreign
modertte.
In the provinces the trade is steady, Birmingham alone
showing any depression in prices.
From the Continental markets the reports show con-
tinued steadiness in price.
At Mark-lane there was a fair attendance, with a quiet
market generally.
The small supply of English wheat realised Monday's
rates.
Foreign wheat *as also held for late terms, but the sales
were quite of retail extent.
Flour is steady in value, but only in limited demand.

three floating cargoes have sold at 34s 6d to 35a 6d, f. and
c. for Danubian.

• MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—Feb. 27.

The February sessions for the transaction of
county business was held to-day at Clerkenwell ;
Mr. Pownall in the chair.

THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION AND THE HOME
SECRETARY.

Mr. Nicholson, the Clerk of the Peace, read the
following letter from the Home Secretary as to the
condition of the House of Correction, Coldbath-
fields :

" Home-office, Whitehall, Jan. 13,_1868.

" Sir--I am directed by Mr. Secretary Hardy to
acquaint you for the information of the Court of
Quarter Sessions for the connty of Middlesex, that
it appears by reports which have been submitted
to him by the Inspectors of Prisons that no effec-
tual measures have been taken for rendering the
county prison of Coldbath-fields efficient under the
provisions of the Prison Act, 1865, and that de-
fault has been made in this prison in not complying
with the requisitions of the said act in the fol-
lowing r espects—namely, the number of certified
cells is still far from sufficient for the number of
prisoners. I am, therefore, to request that the
Court will furnish Mr. Hardy with any explana-
tion which it may have to offer on the subject, and
to add that, unless some satisfactory reason is as-
signed for non-compliance with the provisions of
the law in regard to this prison, he will feel it to
be his duty to certify such default to the Lords
Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, in order
that no contribution shall henceforth be paid out
of moneys provided by Parliament towards the ex-
penses of maintaining any prisoners in such pri-
son until it has been brought into conformity with
the requisitions of the said act.—l am, sir, your
obedient servant,

" ADOLPHUS F. 0. LIDDELL.
" The Clerk of the Peace for the County of
Middlesex, Sessions-house, Clerkenwell-green."
Mr. KEIISHEAD said this communication was not
very courteous to the magistrates of this county,
and he thought it would have been well had they

been first asked what they proposed to do—any-
thing or nothing—befor.e such a threat had been
held out to them.

Mr. TURNER thought these observations unjust,
as there was a large expenditure then going on in
this prison ; and the magistrates of the county had
neither stinted their own trouble nor the money of
the ratepayers to effect this object.
The communication was referred to the Commit-
tee of Visitors of Coldbath-fields Prison for consi-
deration and report.
