SERIOUS ROBBERY.—During the hours of church
service on Sunday evening last, the house of the widow
Wrightson, who carries on the watch and clockmaking busi-
ness, at Walham-green, Fulham, was broken open and robbed
of the following valuable articles :—A silver hunting watch,
maker's name, "Geo. Allen, London, No. 2,990 ;" silver
ditto, " Bird, London ;" ditto, " Wm. King, London, No.
99,398 ;" ditto, "Geo. Grayden, Dublin, No. 12,598 ;" ditto,
" J. Morland, London, No. 121 ;" silver double-bottom watch,
without name or number ; ditto, No. 122, maker's name un-
known, "I. C." engraved on the inside case ; metal watch,
the name unknown, but it is supposed to have been made in
Wigmore-street, Cavendish-square • silver watch, name un-
known—" George Moore" engraved the outside case ; three
empty silver watch cases, and an empty hunting-case, with
glass in the centre ; and a pair of silver spectacles. A young
man named Yates, who resides in the neighbourhood, and
who was observed loitering about the house at the moment
Mrs. Wrightson quitted the premises on her way to church,
has been apprehended,and held in custody until Friday, when
he will be examined before the magistratesat Hammersmith.
WILL OF LADY HOLLAND.—The statement which
first appeared, in the Observer, and was from thence copied
into several other newspapers relative to Lady Holland's be-
quest to Lord John Russell, is incorrect. The facts are
these :—Her Ladyship has left her Brixton property (the
value of which is estimated at about 1,500/. a-year to Lord
John Russell for his life. At his death 500/. per annum out
of the same property is to be paid to his Lordship's children,
the remainder reverting to the offspring of her Ladyship's
daughter, the present Lady Lilford. We understand that
her Ladyship's other children and grand children are very
slightly remembered, if at all. Her page comes in for an an-
nuity of 150/. a-year, in addition to 501. per annum left by the
late lord Holland to the same individual, and all the mem-
bers of her Ladyship's establishment are more or less pro-
vided for. Mr. Metcalfe Babington. her Ladyship's medical
attendant, receives a legacy of 1,500/. and an annuity of 501.
To Mr. Macaulay her Ladyship bequeaths a legacy of 1001.;
to Mr. Luttrell, one of 3001. ; and smaller sums to many of
her personal friends. A picture in Holland House is left to
the Queen, " if her Majesty will deign to accept it ;" and
the Hon. W. Cowper receives her Ladyship's collection of
• " H. B." caricatures.—Post.
Liu PorATo DisEAso.—A communication from
the Poor-law Commissioners was laid before the Hertford
Board of Guardians at their last sitting, authorising them to
lemploy the poor in the workhouse in extracting the flour or
starch.from diseased potatoes, free of expense to any poor
person who should send them to the house for that pu 110 !
—Chelmsford Chronicle.

After considerable manifestations of impatience by
the gentlemen present, Mr. Healy, accompanied by 1)r.
Costello and several other of the requisionists, came into
the room, when Dr. Lane was called to the chair.
The requisition calling the meeting was then read. It
set forth that the provisional committee and shareholders
would have submitted to them matters of great import-
ance. Another document was next read, which had
been forwarded to the members of the managing corn-
, inittee, calling on them to attend, and to bring with
them all the minutes and account-books, and other docu-
ments relating to the company's affairs.
Mr. Iloeuxoswonem stated that he attended, es the
solicitor of the Company, on behalf of the Provisional
Directors. He might inform the shareholders present,
on their behalf, that previous to the advertisement being
issued by Mr. Healy and his frieeds, calling the present
meeting., the Directors had stated by advertisement that
immediately after the 30th they would convene the share-
holders and fully explain all -matters to them. At the
present time every one officially connected with the
Company was engaged, body and soul, night and day,
working to get every thing ready against the end of the
month. The Directors, therefore, deprecated the offi-
cials of the Company preparing documents for the share-
holders, when every moment of their time was required
in getting ready far Parliau.ent. The 30th was on Sun-
day, so that they would really only have to the 29th.
The Directors considered they had much more important
work to do than to come there to discuss matters arising
out of a private pique or quarrel. They are of epiaion'it
showed no want of respect to the shareholders that, under
the circumstances, they did not think proper to attend.
The sense of the Directors had been signified by the notice
circulated among the gentlemen as they came into the
room, which was to the following effsct:—That the pre-
sent meeting was without their sanction, and that on the
30th one would be convened by authority. Let the
shareholders wait till after the 30th, and he had ea
doubt every necessary explanation would be given. At
present they were not prepared to go into these matters.
Mr, HEALY denied that there had been any advertise-
ment issued by the Board of Management of the kind
stated by Mr. Hollingsworth, and challenged him to
produce it. An advertisement had appeared, stating
that the deed had been sent into the country to be signed,
and promising that after it returned and was executed
the Directors would give a fair and satisfactory explana-
tion. Nothing was said about the 30th of November
then. He (Mr. Healy) mentioned that no company of
integrity would have issued such an announcement.
They had had plenty of time to prepare a proper state-
ment fur the shareholders, but by their conduct they had
brought matters to such a pass that now the whole
kingdom looked upon the company as little b Iter than a
bubble. (Mr. Healy was proceeding in a very intempe-
rate tone, accusing the Directors with being ashamed to
attend themselves, and of sending an attorney to repre-
sent them, when he was stopped by a loud and general
expression of disapprobation, and at length, amidst
great confusion and uproar, retracted the Off n,ive ex-,
pression applied to Mr. Hollingsworth.)
Mr. CLARKE wished to know if Mr. Healy was a sub-
scriber to the company.—(Uproar, and cries of " let him
go on.")
Mr. HEALY spoke at some further length in depreca-
tion of the proceedings of the Directors, contending that
the advertisement which they had published, referred to
by Mr. Hollingsworth, was not such as he had represented
it to be, and that that gentleman had given it a distorted
construction, so as to make it tell in their favour.
Dr. COSTELLO wished to address the meeting, as he
was one of those concerned in impeaching their repre-
sentatives in the committee of management with neg-
lecting the interests of the Company. From the time
the Company was first announced, up till the middle of
September, no advance had been made by them in push-
ing the Company forward beyond issuing some adver-
tisements. No offices were secured in the City ; no
traffic tables constructed ; no . practical steps take n to
give vitality to the Company. They were sitting in a
room in the Quadrant, when they should have been in
communication with the great interests of the City. At
this juncture of their affairs a gentleman was introduced
to them, whose position and abilities, joined with his
connexion with the press, were calculated to give the
Company a great impetus. Offices, in consequence of
this gentleman's (Mr. Healy's) connexion with them,
were provided in the City ; regular minutes V all pro-
ceedings were kept ' • everything was put into a regular
shape of business. Yet mark the treatment which that
gentleman had received at their hands. With to.pect
to himself, he (Dr. Costello) had in an early stage
of the proceedings been considered one who could
render efficient services to the line, from his bring a
reAdent on it. lie was promised that if ha exerted
himself he should have a place on the board. At first it
was only a vague promise, hut nt last a period for this
was named. It was to take place immediately on the al-
lotment of the shares, when meetings would be held along
the route of the line. Though he had thus been pro-
mised, and though he had exerted himself much for the
company, that appointment had never been cenfirmed.
He cared not for himself, but when he saw another gen-
tleman, who had used great exertion and great ability
and influence in their favour, treated in the manner he
had, lie (Dr. Costello) could not avoid expressing him-
self in the manner he had done, especially when, coinci-
dent with these proceedings, two or three parties had
been introduced to the directory who had never been
heard of before, and one of them, a baronet, who had
not made any exertion, or used any local influence in
their behalf, placed in the chair. And what had been
the consequence of that appointment ? The aban-
donment of the extension to Falmouth—a sus-
picious circumstance, when it was considered that that
same gentleman was connected with the opposing
line (the Cornwall and Devon Central Railway).
Mr. Ilealy had opposed that proceeding, and
had hence excited the ill feeling of certain parties.
He (Dr. Costello) did not accuse the Directors
of bad motives, he: only said they had cruelly mis-
managed the line. They had given up the extension to
Falmouth, they had permitted the rival line to that ex-
tension to which it had referred, to amalgamate with
others in connexion with the South-Western Railway at
Basingstoke ' • so that they would have a direct com-
peting line the whole way to the Land's-End. On the
other side, they had allowed the Great Western Com-
pany to build up its opposition without taking the least
defensive measures whatever. These were points of
arraignment against the Committee ; and the question
with the shareholders was, would they allow the line to
go to the dogs, or, by the infusion of fresh blood, save
it from absolute ruin ? He would, therefore, take leave
to move the following resolution :—" That under the
present circumstances of the Company, the Directors be
requested to add the following gentlemen to the Com-
mittee of Management :—The Hon. Cecil Lawlese, Mr.
O'Moore, R. H. Fisher, Thomas Paul, W. A. Hill, Dr.
Love, Dr. Costello, Richard Power, and A. Abraham."
Mr. R. H. M`KEeinE seconded the motion.

The motion was put and carried with four dissentients.
Mr. HEALY then proceeded to give a long explanation
of his connexion with the board of management, in vin-
dication of himself, and in inculpation of the Directors.
The substance of his address, which was in many parts
too personal to admit of reporting, was, that when he
was introduced to the board matters were managed in a
very irregular manner. He was instrumental in putting
the office into proper order, and in getting regular
minutes kept. He had previously opposed the appoint-
ment of two parties as secretary to the company—the
one from incapacity, and the other from being a member
of the provisional Directors, and a medical man in prac-
tice. These matters had occasioned antagonistic feelings
to be shown him by many of the Directors. He attri-
buted, however, the recent treatment he had met with,
and his removal from the board, to his opposition to the
extension line to Falmouth, which, through the influence
of the latter, had been abandoned. Seeing, therefore,
that be could get no redress from them, be determined
to convene the present meeting, and call upon the Direc-
tors face to face to meet him on the charges he had to
make against them.
Mr. CLAAKE--It is all a private pique.—(" Chair !
chair!" " Order! order!") He maintained it was so,
and had nothing to do with the shareholders.
The meeting was here thrown into great uproar by
several gentlemen attempting to speak at once, and it
was with considerable difficulty the Chairman succeeded
in restoring comparative order. This done,
Mr. PAUL moved a resolution—" That after hearing
the statement of Mr. Healy, this meeting feels bound to
reprobate the conduct of the Managing Corunin no, es,
wards that gentleman.—(Loud cries of " No; ;
yes," and " Chair, chair.")
Dr. CoSTELLO seconded the resolution.

ters stated inconjunction with the Chairman of the Com-
pany which were of the greatest importance. For his
part he (Mr. Parry) did not that gentleman's
connexion had been of any advantage to them. Above
all things the Directors ought to have been present that
day, so that both sides could have been heard. In jus•
tiee to Mr. Healy, he would support the resolution.
A scene of great confusion ensued, in which the reso-
lution was put, and declared by the Chairman to be car
Many gentlemen protested against the decision as
unfair and incorrect, and wished the show of hands to be
again taken, but the Chairman refused, and abruptly dis-
solved the meeting.

WEYMOUTH, Nov. 24.—An immense quantity of
herrings was caught this morning in Weymouth Bay. From
inquiries made from the fishermen, I learn that there were
upwards of 500,000 caught in the space of a few houre. One
net in a single haul brought to shore from 150,000 to 200,000,
and• it was with some difficulty they secured them without
breaking their net. Two or three small sailing vessels ha\ e
taken large quantities to Portsmouth, from whence I pre-
sume many of them will be dispatched to London; others
have gone inland. They are said to be fine fish, and are
selling at Is. Gd. per hundred. —Front a Correspondent.
