quirements of the Metropolitan Railway as to
locomotive power, the construction of the car-
riages, and the working of the traffic. It was re-
quisite that the trains should stop in the shortest
possible time, and start so as to acquire full speed
immediately after leaving the station, so that the
trains should be enabled to stop at every station,
which averaged about half a mile apart, and at
the same time to accomplish the whole distance
much sooner than omnibuses could. Their trains
had usually five carriages, which were so con-
structed as to carry more than 12 ordinary railway
carriages, and to occupy very much less station
room. They were made as light as possible consisot
tent with the requisite strength ; and had a smaller
amount of " dead weight" in proportion to the num-
ber of passengers carried than any other railway.
They had also laid down solid steel rails, which
stood the traffic admirably, and they had since
added steel tyres to the wheels of the carriages as
well as to the wheels of the engines. lle did not
think they could, do anything better than they had
done to insure economy and efficiency in working
the metropolitan traffic. (Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN said they would endeavour to
improve future reports, and they proposed on the
❑ext occasion to send out with the report a small
map of the line coloured with an explanation.
The report was then unanimously adopted, the
retiring directors were re-elected, and also the re-
tiring auditor.

On the motion of Mr. BEST, a vote of thanks
to the chairman and directors concluded the pro-
ceedings.

ARBROATH AND FORFAR.

The report states that the balance at the credit
of revenue was £14,002, out of which the directors
recommended a dividend of 6 per cent. for the year
on the whole of the paid-up capital, payable on the
Bth of Apiil, leaving a balance of £571.

DUNABUEG AND WITEPSK.
The directors in their report propose that the
dividend should be £2 per share (less income tax),
being at the rate of 5 per cent, on the nominal capi-
tal of the company. The final result of the opera-
tions of the company was that the whole undertak-
ing had been completed for less than £BO per share,
instead of £B3, as originally estimated. The ex-
penditure on capital account amounted to £2,222,000,
buc this was reduced by £157,211, received from
the Russian Government on account of the guaran-
tee, to £2,068,463.

WESTMINSTER.

A CONFIDING CABMAN.—A fine specimen of the
old school of cabmen applied to the magistrate this
morning under the following very uansualcircum-

stances.

Applicant said that he was hired by a gentleman
yesterday week, and after driving him about for
seven hours, he set him down at 2, Chandos-street,
Borough, when he said he bad no money, but would
pay him if he came and took him out the following
day. Ile drove him for 11 hours en the Friday, when
the gentleman said he was very sorry, but he could
not pay him then, but desired me to come on the
following day. On Saturday applicant carried him
about for seven hours, but still did not get his
money. The gentleman, however, gave him two
"I 0 U's," one for £2 and the other for £l.
Mr. Benson—Who is the gentleman ?

Cabman—He gave me his name " Captain John
Clansey," and lives at 2, Charles-str...,et, Brompton.
Here are his " I 0 U's."

Mr. Benson—When did he you give these valuable
pieces of paper.

Cabman—After that I had driven him on the

Saturday.

Mr. Benson—Where did you take him ?
Cabman—He was always driving about for
money, he said.

Mr. Benson—And did not seem to get it?
Cabman—No, he was very unfortunate. (Laugh-
ter.) I drove him about besides the three days.
Mr. Benson—You must be very fond of driving.
The cabman, amidst repeated laughter, went on
to describe that he had carried the gentleman every
day since, and had not had any money, and had
yesterday been told, as usual, to meet him to-day.
Mr. Benson—Well, you have come here just
within the time that the law can help you. These
1.0.U.'s are good for nothing. You had better put
together all these amounts carefully, and you can
take a summons for the whole sum.

BILLS IN PARLIAMENT.

A bill has just been printed " to amend the lawitFelating I
to places for holding petty sessions, and to lock-up hobies,
for the temporary confinement of persons taken into
custody, and not yet committed for trial." It is backed
by Sir James Fergusson and the Home Secretary.
Simply, its object is to enable two or more districts to join
together in building a sessions-house and lock-up, and to
maintain it jointly. Machinery is, of course, provided for
carrying out this object.
Another bill just printed is Messrs. Ewart, Bazley,
and Baines's attempt to establish the metric system of
weights and measures in this country. It seeks to have
prepared by the Board of Trade a measure of length the
same as that used in Paris, having the word " Metre"
engraved upon it, this length to be the unit standard
henceforth for the United Kingdom. The unit
standard of surface is to be the square of ten metres, and
to be called an arc. The unit of capacity for liquid and
dry goods is to be the cube of the tenth of a metre, and to
be called a litre. The unit of weight is to •be the
" gram," a thousand " grams" to make a " kilogram." The
kilogram is to be prepared and kept in the custody of
the warder cf standards; copies and models of the standards
are to be made and sent to all places where they are
required to be kept, and other copies may be made by
magistrates, &c., for reference. All the provisions as to
rectification, &c., applying to Imperial weights and
measures apply to the metric system. The Imperial and
local systems are to be abolished in time, and no other
weights may after a certain number of years be used.
Until the expiration of that period the metric system is
to be voluntary. The permissive "Act of 1864 is also
repealed.

UNITED KINGDOM of GREAT BRITAIN and IRE-
LAND do hereby give Notice, that on TUESDAY, the
14th April next, at Two o'clock, they will be ready to trea

establishments. Private charity is doing much
to relieve for a moment the more pressing cases
of distress, but any private attempts at help, how-
ever well organised, must . necessarily be of trifling
avail in stemming so terrible a calamity. When
crowds of workmen are alrea.ly discharged from our
private shipyards and engineering establishments
what hope of work can be entertained by the thou-
sands of men now being discharged from the Royal
dockyards? It is understood that these men are
being discharged to enable the Admiralty to appro-
priate the sum saved from the Naval Estimates of
1868-9 in the form of wages to the commencem.nit

of the building of two or three ironclads. If this
is really the case, a very serious blunder has been
cotninitted by their Lordships and their financial
advisers. It is certainly ni.cesiary to the cont.).-
try's defence that its ironclad squadrons should be
kept up, but this even must not be clone at such a
fearful sacrifice. The only possible perinanint re-
lief that can apparently be given under the circum-
stances would be for the Admiralty to reconsider
that portion of the Naval Estimates relating to
the reduction of hired mechanics and labourers,
and re-enter those men who have been so sum-
marily discharged from the several yards. If the
men discharged from the various dockyards are. not
re-entered, some thousands of men, with their
families, must become permanent paupers.
The Colonelcy of the 63d Regiment of Foot is
vacant by the death of General Sir Thomas Kenha,
K.C.8., early yesterday morning, at the great age
of 86 years. The deceased entered the army in
August, 1799, and the same year served with his
regiment in Holland. In 1801 he served in Egypt

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
THE WAY STREET ROBBERIES ARE EFFECTED,

James Williams, a fellow well known to the police,
and Annie Dunbar, were charged before Mr. Knox
as suspected persons loitering in Carlton-street,
Regent-street, for the purpose of committing a
felony.

From the evidence of Gordon, 33 C, it appeared
that about nine o'clock the previous night, while
in companyof two other officers, Shrives, 82 C, and
Cave, 33 C, all in plain clothes, he saw the pri-
soner and another man and woman loitering about
Carlton-street and St. Alban's-place, Regent-
street, and saw the woman stop several gentlemen
and speak to them, the men standing a little way
off. Having watched them for some time, the party
walked away into Charles-street, where the woman
stopped a gentleman, and Williams then walked
up, and moved his hard as if about to take
something from the gentleman, but seeing him
(Gordon) approaching the prisoners and their com-
panions all made off, but the prisoners were subse-
quently caught in the Haymarket after a sharp pur-
suit.

The constables Shroves and Cave having given
similar evidence,

Mr. Knox asked if anything was known of the
prisoners.

Gordon said that the woman was charged once at
Guildhall, and both prisoners belonged to a gang
of notorious thieves os the Surrey side of the
Thames.

The male prisoner, while admitting that he was
known to the police, was very anxious to have the
matter settled at once.

Gordon opposed this, stating that there had been
several complaints lately of robberies effected by
men and women working together.
Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners.

The Price of Gold.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills
at 60 days' sight is about 109 q per cent. At this rate there
is no profit on the importation of gold from the United
States.

Tne quotation of gold at Paris) le about at par. and
the short exchange on London is 25f. 15c. per £1 sterling.
On omparing these rates with the English Mint price of
£3 i;i3.10/1. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
Vold is about cue-tenth door in Paris. than in Loaclgn.

in his judgment on the Bth inst., said
" That the Capsules are not used merely for the purpose
of ornament, but that they are servicable in protecting the
Beer from injury and insuring its genuineness."

DUNABURG AND WITEPSIE.

The directors in their report propose that the
dividend should be £2 per share (less income tax),
being at the rate'of 5 per cent. on the nominal capi-
tal of the company. The final result of the opera-
tions of the company was that the whole undertak-

ing had been completed for less than £BO per share,
instead of £B3, as originally estimated. The ex-
penditure on capital account amounted to £2,222,000,
but this was reduced by £157,211, received from
the Russian Government on account of the guaran-
tee, to £2,068,463.
