LARGE CAPTURE OF BETTING MEN.

At the Marylebone Police-Court this day Thomas
Russell, 9, Bird-street, Oxford-street, betting man
and beer-shop keeper, Henry Clissold, Charles
Harvey, Richard Cooper, Thomas Lucas, Thomas
Raimel, Thomas Walker, George Greaves, George
Best, Richard Pattison, John Rayson, and Samuel
Hall, the first charged with keeping a betting-house,
and the others for being there for an unlawful
purpose. . _ .

- Superintendent Draper, D Division, watched the
case by order of the Commissioners of Police.
Mr. Sleigh defended Russell.

Superintendent Draper said—About a quarter to
ten on Saturday night he went with Inspector
Ilinde to Russell's beer-shop. Behind the bar were
Russell and Harvey. Russell had a betting-book in
his hand, with notices of diff.:rent r.tc s. I took
it and told him nay business, and I had to search
the premises. lie gave it quietly. Oa the counter
was a list of cardi with the names of horses on
them ; five or six of the others standing looking
at it. The othern were also looking on. They
were all taken into custody, and went quietly
to the station-house. They were all admitted to
bail as soon as it was got. Russell said he would
not give the sligh eat trouble.

Inspector Howland, D division, said he found a
betting book on Rayson relating to different races.
Some bets relating to the last Derby. Found nothing
on the other prisoners.

Inspector Hindes, 1) division, said he searched
the drawers in Russell's bar anl found 64 betting
books and thousands of betting tickets.
Sergeant Ford, 17 P, deposed upon several occa-
sions last month in private clothes he visited Rus-
sell's house and saw several bets made.

Mr. D'Eyncourt considered the case against Rus-
sell proved, and, as it was his second offence, he
must pay the full penalty of £lOO, or be committed
for 3 months. The others would be discharged.
The fine was paid.

ANOTHER CASE.—William Clarkson, 83, Edg-
ware-road, and Annie Lustin, a young woman, were
charged, the former with keeping a betting house,
and the latter with assisting him.
Similar evidence as in the last case was given,
and Ford, the officer, proved seeing several bets
made, and upon one occasion saw the female take
money.

As there had bee❑ no former conviction, Mr.
D'Eyncourt order him to pay a fine of £5O and the
female 20s.

These fines were paid.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

STABBING A WlFE.—Dennis Sullivan, an elderly
man, described as a shoemaker, was charged before
Mr. Knox with stabbing his wife, Hannah Sullivan.
The prosecutrix said—Last night, about eleven
o'clock, I was standing at my door in Dudley-street,
wishing my brother and his wife, who had been to
see rae, good night, when my husband (the prisoner)
came up and said, " How are you getting on 2" and
then stabbed me in the face with a knife.

Mr. Knox—Did you see the knife ?
Prosecutrix—No, but the doctor said it was a
knife.

Mr. Knox —And the injuries on your face are the
result ?

Prosecutrix.Jrhey are. A young man came up
and secured the prisoner till a constable came.
Mr. Knox—Are you living apart from your hus-
band ?

Prosecutrix—Yes, and I have been for three
years.

Prisoner—Was not your face injured before I
saw you ?
Prosecutrix —No.

Dennis Carney, a young man living in Mon-
mouth-court, Seven Dials, said —I heard the prose-
cutrix cry out, "I am stabbed," and saw the blood
pouring from her face. The prisoner, who was then
about twenty yards from her, ran away, and I went
after him and held him till a constable came.

Mr. Knox—Did you see a knife ?
Witness—l did not. A piece of metal was found
on the prisoner when he was searched, but the doctor
at the hospital said the injuries were done with a
small knife. The prisoner said he did not do it.
Henry Mason, 23 F—l saw the pris.mer running
pursued by the last witness. I took him into cus-
tody and charged him with wounding his wife with
some sharp instrument, and he denied having
done so.

Mr. Knox—Were both parties sober ?
Constable—They were. I took the proseentrix
to Charing-cross Hospital, and the doctor said she
had been stabbed with a knife.

Prisoner—A. man who was with my brother-in-
law did it.

Mr. Knox—The prisoner will be remanded for
the attendance of the surgeon.

WESTMINSTER.

ASSAULT UPON A PUBLICAN.—James Ryan and
Mary Ryan, husband and wife, both Irish, were
charged with violently assaulting William Milsom,
landlord of the White Horse, Orchard-street.
The prosecutor, whose head was bandaged, stated
that yesterday afternoon he went to the prisoner's
house for a can which he had lent them. Seeing there
a half gallon can belonging to another publican in
the neighbourhood he took it away with the inten-
tion of roturning it to its owner. the male pri-
soner followed him to his house, and afterwards
came in front of the bar and abused him, when
witness turned him out. The female prisoner
then came in, and being very abusive, witness
threw a glass of water over her, and then ejected
her from the house. The female prisoner picked
up a stone and threw it at the prosecutor, cutting
his head open and almost rendering him insensible ;
the male prisoner then closed with him, threw him
down, and kicked him. He believed he would have
been murdered if assistance Lad not arrived.
The female prisoner was sentenced to fourteen
days' hard labour, and the male prisoner to seven
days, without the option of paying a fine.

VIA HIES.
OVERBOARD HE WENT.—Joseph Walker, a tall
and athletic man, well known on shore as a
labourer, and touter, was brought before Mr. Ben-
son, charged with attempting to commit self-
destruction. porter,

Thomas J. Biker, locksman in the service of the
London Dock Company, stated that on Saturday
evening, at a quarter past 6 o'clock, he saw the
prisoner walking along the pier head, Shadwell,
and whei he got to the edge of the pier he jumped
into the lock. A bargeman put out his pitcher (a
long pole with a hook at the end), and got him out
of the water, and hoisted him on beard over the
rudder. He assisted in getting the prisoner on
shore.

Mr. Benson—And he was very glad when he
reached dry land again, no doubt.
Witness—He was, indeed.

The prisoner, a strong-lunged-fellow, here said
—Please your worship, I never attempted to drown
myself. I should not like to dio that way. I was
drunk on Saturday evening, and went to the dock
to ascertain whether my ships were coming in, and
my foot slipped and overboard I went. Why it is
only six months ago I pulle I a man out of the
water who made an attempt to drown himself, and
it is not likely I should attempt to drown myself.
Mr. Itmson—The witness says you jumped in.
The Prisoner—No, I slipped in ; overboard I
went.

Mr. Gee, inspector of the K division, said the
prisoner was very drunk indeed.

Mr. Beason —Tnat i 3 eonsiiteat with his state-
ment, and that he slipped in.

Inspector Gen said that a witness who was out-
side the court a few minutes ago saw the prisoner
deliberately jump into the lock, an l when he was
pulled out he began swearing at his rescuers. The
prisoner deliberately jumpd into the lock directly
after he left the person he had referred to.

A huge fellow, about 45 years of age, who is
called the Man Mountain, here steppe 1 forward, and
said the prisoner was his son, and a bad boy. He
was tipsy on Saturday evening, and slipped into the
water, in fact, overboard he went.

Mr. Benson--You never attempted to drown
yourself, I am sure ?

Witness—Certainly not. I want to live as long
as I can. My son has no reason to drown him-
self.

Mr. Benson hoped the prisoner did not attempt
to do such a wicked and rash act as to drown him-
self, and as there was some doubt on the subject
he would give him the benefit of it by discharging
him

RAILWAY IN7ELLIGENCE.

LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN.

A special general meeting of this company was
held on Thursday at the Waterloo station ; Cap-
tain Mangles in the chair.
The Solicitor read the heads of a bill to extend
the time for completing certain of the authorised
works of the company. The principal objects of
the bill were to extend the time for completing the
Kensington and Ric:nuond and the Aldershot Rail-
ways, to mike a oirciage road near Brook wood station
to reduce the comp tny's capital with reference to the
abandonment of the Ilfracombe Railway, to extend
the eotninny's powers for acquiring land for
general purposes, and to confer on the company
powers for the improvement and disposal of their
superfluous land, but not to raise adlitional capi-
tal. (Hear; hear.)

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the approval of the
bill, hoped the proprietors would consider it unob-
jectionable.

The motion was secJnded and carried unani-
mously.

Another special meeting was then held, at which
a report of the directors was submitted. It explained
that in consequence of the promotion of the Work-
ing Union Bill by the South-Eastern and the
Brighton Railway Companies, the directors peti-
tioned against it, which resulted, as regarded the
Charing-cross Railway, in the directors making an
arrangement with the South-Eastern Company to
the effect that the latter would erect a station on the
Charing-cross line at Waterloo, would efficiently
work it, charging in respect of the traffic joining or
leaving the Charing-cross Railway there the fares
of the latter for the time being. The working was
to commence as soon as possible. Should any points
of difference arise the duke of Richmond was to act
as umpire. The directors congratulated the pro-
prietors on this result, which they did not doubt
would operate greatly to the advantage of the com-
panies and the public. With regard to the London,
Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company a
general review of existing relations between the
two companies ensued upon this company petitioning
against the IVorkicg Union Bill, which terminated
satisfactorily, and when the bill came into operation
those relations would be obligatory on the compa-
nies in union in the same manner as they now
bound the London, Brighton, and South Coast
Company. The directors, in conclusion, asked the
proprietors to authorize the Board to borrow
£53,330 under the Aldershott Railway Act, 1865.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, the report was
unanimously adopted, the articles of agreement
with the Brighton Company were approved, and
the directors were authorised to exercise the bor-
rowing powers to the extent of £,53,330 for the
Aldershott line.

The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks
to the chairman and directors.

GREAT INDIAN PENINSULA.

The half-yearly general meeting of this company
was held on Friday, at the City Terminus Hotel,
Cannon-street; Mr. H. C. E. Childers, in the
chair.

Mr. T. R. WATT, the managing director, having
read the notice convening the meeting, the report,
an abstract of which appeared in The Sun, was
taken as read.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said the accounts were presented in an im-
proved form, being shorter and clearer than usual,
to which they had added a balance-sheet. The re-
venue of the company for the past half-year
showed an increase of £69,550, as compared with
the same half of 1866, the expenditure an increase
of £43,890, and the net receipts an increase of
£25,660. The balance placed to the credit of in-
terest account was £128,000, against £102,000 in
hesame
averaged
0f8512
86m during the half-year,
1866, The
The mileage open for
traffic
against 777 miles in the corresponding half of
1866. The mileage of passenger trains was 556,000
miles against 531,000 miles in the same half of
t
1866. The total number of p tssengers conveyed
during the half-year was 1,756,000 against
1,459,000. The cost of coke and coal was 16 I. per
mile against 181 per mile in the preceding
year. Their best endeavours would be directed
to working the line with economy, and to reducing
the cost of fuel. The gross receipts of the year
1865 amounted to £1,175,000, the expenses to
£694,000, or 59 per cent., and the net receipts to
£840,000. The gross receipts for the year 1866
amounted to £1,202,000, the working expenses to
£716,000, or 57 per cent., and the net receipts to
£536,000. The gross receipts for 1867 amounted
to £1,486,000, the expenses to £828,000, or 55}
per cent., and the net receipts to £658,000. Com-
paring the total capital expended on both produc-
tive and unproductive works with the net receipts,
the latter would yield a dividend of £3 Bs. per
cent. for 1865, of £3 7s. per cent. for 1866, and
£4 per cent, for 1867. But on comparing the capi-
tal expended on productive works only with the net
receipts the latter would yield a dividend on it of
£6 Is. 9d. per cent. for 1865, of £5 14s. 6d. per
cent. for 1866, and of £5 19s. 9d. per cent. for
1867. He was not quite satisfied with those re-
sults, but they showed progress, and perhaps ought
to be considered satisfactory. The state of some of
the works on the line had cansed considerable
anxiety to the directors, and immediately after the
last meeting they sent out Mr. Berkley, their con-
sulting engineer, to India, with full instructions to
investigate the whole matter with a view to preveut
such disasters in future as the failure of bridges
and viaducts. Her Majesty's Government had met
them in a liberal spirit ou this subject, and it was
agreed that the surplus revenue for the first half of
1867 should be placed to the credit of an account
for the restoration of the defective works, and all
expenditure beyond that surplus should be charged
to capital. The company's loan powers were
£5,000,000, on account of which they proposed
immediately to offer £600,000 of 4 per cent. de-
benture stock to public tender ; the minimum
price would be fixed by himself and the Secretary
of State for India. They would thus gradually
convert the outstanding debentures into a per-
petual 4 per cent. debenture stock. On accepting
the office of chairman he had determined to go out
to India as early as political matters would permit,
with a view to make himself thoroughly acquainted
with the railway and works of the company. (Ilear,
hear.)
Mr. J. G. FRITH seconded the motion for the
adoption of the report.
Mr. CAMPBELL, Chief Commissioner of the Cen-
tral Provinces, said he had charge of the country
where the recent failure in the company's works
had occurred. In laying out the line there ap-
peared a desire to make it too economically. The
waterway of bridges and culverts was too narrow,
a mistake no doubt made in good faith, but not
suitable for a great trunk line. The company's
officers were now doing all they could to rectify
those defects, and in the renewal of works.
After some observations by Mr. Fenn, Mr.
Spilsbury, Dr. Beattie, and Mr. Ilill, the report
was unaimously adopted, the establishment of a
provident fund was agreed to, and the retiring
directors and auditor were re-elected.
The meeting was then made special, and the
directors were authorised to create and issue a 4
per cent. debenture stock, as and when required to
pay off existing debentures to an extent not exceed-
ing in the whole £5,000,000, under the sanction of
the Secretary of State for India. The proceedings
concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman
and directors.

We learn from Naples that the appearance of the
country is now magnificent, the crops exceedingly heavy,
and the harvest promises to be a more abunlant one than
has been known since 1810. Around Salerno and Pmitum
in another fortnight the wheat will be nearly ell gathered,
and we may shortly look for a great reduction in the prices
of all the necessaries of life. Hay-making in that district
has already commenced, but with the exception of the
pianura d'aoli there ld little hay grown ih that part of
Italy.

NG, JUNE I, 1868.

SPORTING NOTES.

.The
.general public have good reason to congra-
tulate themselves on the success of one of the
favourites for thellerby, who, thanks to the straight-
forward and manly conduct of his popular owner,
have " landed" an amount bf money from the book-
makers which ought to keep them on the right side
for at least twelve months to come. Sir Joseph
Hawley's proceedings are in marked contrast to the
policy adopted by the Marquis of Hastings and his
advisers, who on the principle, I suppose, that
" every one has a right to do what he likes with his
own," thought proper to strike out the Earl the
night before the race was run, although the horse
had been brought to Epsom in magnificent condi-
tion, and up to the last moment was supported by
some of the roost influential patrons of the Turf.
At present no other excu,e has been made on behalf
of the 111.trquis, who will certainly lose the sym-
pathy of many of his best friends through such an
ill-advised proceeding. The E.trl, lam convinced,
likes a distance of ground. and would probably have
beaten Blue Gown, as he did in the Biennial Stakes
at Newmarket, or, at anyra,te, rnn i❑ the first
three. As regards the different competitors, King
Alfred's form in obtaining second place and
beating Suffolk an immense distance, is another
proof of the fallacy of private trials, and ought to
convince the veriest Tyro that public form is always
the best to depend upon. (Mon is evidently more
fitted to travel successfully over a short distance of
ground, and Paul Jones is more likely to win a han-
dicap than a weight for age race, where he has first-
class company to contend against. Rosicrucian and
Green Sleeve were by no means as fit as they will
be made later in the season, but neither of them, in
my opinion, will ever be made better than Blue
Gown. I expect to see St. Ronan do Mr. Chaplin
good service before the year is out.

Racing during the present week takes place at
West Drayton, Manchester, and Croydon, and, as
the first-named meeting commences to-day—Whit
Monday—a lot of the holiday folks are likely to be
attracted there.

On Tuesday, UNDER THE CLOUD, if he starts,
will take a deal of beating for The Handicap Hurdle
Race.

For the West Drayton Handicap ROMNEY and
LADY GLENCORA attract my attention most, whilst
KING OF SPADES iS equally well in for the Village
Plate.

Manchester also takes place on the same days,
and will be held over the new course with Mr.
Richard Johnson as Clerk of the Course, and Mr.
M•George as Starter. It was quite time that new
blood was infused into the management, and there
is now every prospect of a speedy restoration of
these races to their palmiest days. The De Trafford
Cup has thirty-six nominations, of which Knight
of the Garter, Corporal, The Clown, Feodor, and
Chivalry appear the most trustworthy, and of these
I expect the winner will prove to be THE CLOWN ;
and if beat I think it will be by Mr. Haugh ton's
representative—FEODOß or CHIVALRY. The Cope-
land Stakes should be won by WHINYARD.
FLYING JIB must represent me for the Philips'
Handicap, and Orromax for the IVestmoreland
Handicap.
The Tradesmen's Cup will be run for on Thurs-
day, and I believe the race will lay between FEODOR
and MINSTER BELL, of whom I prefer the first-
named. In the Beaufort Stakes, although PALMI-
TINE has incurred 31b penalty for winning at Shrews-
bury, I shall stand her, and next to her my choice
is KING OF THE HOVERS. I should think SEAMAN
would prove good enough to win the Selling Handi-
cap. I see nothing to beat KICKSEY WINKSEY for
the Donniogton Plate, and Mush is favourably
weighted for the Enville Narsery Plate. The City
Handicap Plate will be won by Wadlow's represen-
tative, SALLIET Or PARMA.

Friday's events wiil be considerably influenced by
previous running, as many of the same horses are
engaged over again. Should CHIVALRY not have
incurred a penalty previously I prefer his chance to
anything for the Wilton Handicap. He is, how-
ever, very well in for the Salford Borough Cup, and
way be reserved for that, but if THE COLT BY
ROMULUS OUT OF ATTACK can gallop a little bit he
should have no difficulty in winning. The Trafford
Park Stakes will go to UNCAS or EVELINA.
THE EARL will win the Grand Prix (no obja
d'Art), the gift of the Emperor, and 4,000 f.
given by the city of Paris and five railway compa-
nies of France, next Sunday.

guineas, after winning the Durdans Stakes, at Epson; on

ASH'S PATENT FILTERING REFRIGERATOR. —A
great improvement upon the refrigerator or ice-box
hitherto iu use has been effected by Mr. Ash, of No. 315,
Oxford-street, which must certainly entirely supersedes
those already in active service. The great novelty of the
new Filtering Refrigerator is that all kinds of food, includ-
ing fresh meat and cheese, can bo kept on one side, whilst
the wine and champagne occupies the other. It has hitherto
been impossible to keep food within the refrigerator on
account of the moisture given off, but in the arrangement of
Mr Ash this great drawback has been entirely surmounted,
and that in the most successful manner, by a very in-
genious contrivance perfect ventilation is kept up, and thus
all fear of one article tainting another isavoided. Another
great feature is that the refrigerator is in fact
a filter, which is a very different thing to a refrigerator
with a filter. The dissolved ice by Ash's patent
is converted into the most brilliant and delicious water by
its being passed through charcoal, an arrangement peculiar
to the "Filtering Refrigerator." Another of the inven-
tions of Mr. Ash, the " Piston Freezing Machine," is a de-
cided luxury to every house, as by its aid block ice, either
clear or flavoured, can be produced wiili the greatest
certainty under any circumstances in a few minutes.
The cook, therefore, is enabled to dolor pre-
paring her dessert ices until the first portion
of the dinner is actually on the table, whilst to those resi-
dent in hot climates the Piston Machine cannot but be of
the greatest importance. The la'est novelty, however, is
a new arrangement of the coffee-pot, by which the coffee
itself is rendered really beautiful. After it passes from
the " kaffeekanne" it is of exquisite flavour and remark-
able brilliancy, two very important matters in the prepa-
ration of coffee ; but perhaps its greatest recommendatio❑
is that the operation is at once certain and simple. The little
machine is to be purchased at the price of the ordinary
coffee-pot, and no trouble is entailed by its use, so that
Mr. Ash may fairly count upon an enormous demand for
the last of his very ingenious contrivances, because the
admirable manner in which it performs the work for
which it has been made cannot fail to GAUSO it to be most
stroragly romtunded.

LATEST WEST-END BETTING.
SATURDAY, Midnight.

After the excitement and turmoil of the Epsom week a
profound calm reigned throughout the day on Saturday
amongst racing circles. Usually one of the busiest days
of the week at the Victoria Club, there was not the
slightest disposition evinced on the part of any of the few
members that looked in to speculate on future events, the
subscribers generally being occupied in preparing their
accountsin anticipation of the heavy settling to be com-
menced this afternoon. At night matters were equally
dull and spiritless. At at advanced hour the• Grand Prix
was introduced, and ono or two bets laid thereon. sto 4
was at first laid against The Earl, but afterwards even
money was accepted about him. The only other backed
