New YORK, July 12.-In pursuance of
call issued by the Erie Protection Com
mittee of London, meeting of stOckhold-
erS of the Erie railroad was held to-day, at
which there was a large attendance. Mr..
John Livingston, who represents large
number of foreign stockholders, occupied
the chair and delivered a lengthy address,
in which he stated that complaint
had been made there was a great
deal of voting at elections by proxies.
He reviewed the transaction of March 4,
1872, at great length, saying the road was
captured from Jay Gould at the time by
Bischoffheim ami GOldschnidt, and that
$T50,000 were paid as bribes TO several of
Gould's directors. It was finally agreed
that challengers should be appointed at the
election tomorrow, to see that ne voting is
done by proxy, and that the election is
carried on fairly in every respect.
Daring Robbery.
At noon to-day two we'll dressed men
obtained admission 10 the house of Matthias
NJ. Danser, No. 30 Eleventh street, by rep
resenting themselves TO be CrotOn water
tax collectors. They had no sooner entered
when they seized Mrs. Danser,
who was alcne, bound, gagged and
handcuiied her, and then admitted
five other cOnlederates, when all proceeded
to ransack the house from top to bottom.
They obtained $4,000 in Virginia State
bonds, but overlooked 1000 in New y YOrk
Central securities. After the departure Of
the robbers, Mrs. Danser succeeded in at
tracing the attention Of passers-by, and
she was rescued from her painful position.
No clue To the thieves.
The Attitude Of Queen Victoria DU
ring the War Between the states.
The Tribune tomorrow will publish
letter from ThurlOw Weed, in which he
atfirms, on Trustworthy information, that
on three occasions during the first year of
The rebellion, Queen Victoria attributed
essentially to the preservation Of peace
between this country and England.
On two occasions she discOuntenanced
sugges lions from the French Government
which meant war. The first was 4 prOpO-
sitiOn for joint Intervention OF France
and England, the object being 4 recOgni-
lion of the Confederate government. The |
next was the introduction into Parliament, |
after an interview by the mover with |
he French Emperor, Of 4 resolution
our blockade. The popular |
feeling in England was so strongly in favor |
IF the Confederate States that our friends |
in Parliament and in the Cabinet but for |
he conviction that their course was tacitly |
approved by their sovereign, would have |
Ound themselves unable 10 successfully re- |
iist these hostile measures. When the dis |
patch demanding the surrender of |
Mason and Slidell was read by Lord |
to the Queen and the cOnse-
Iuences of a refusal were explained, Her |
Majesty was startled and distressed at the
dea Of war with America. Taking the dis |
)atch TO the Prince COISOTt who, then in /
his last illness was sitting in his apartment
he Queen asked him TO read il, saying, |
he thought the language and spirit were
larsh and peremptory. The Prince con-
.urring in the opinion with Her Majesty, /
the dispatch 70 erasures and in
in which amended form it
7as returned to the Premier. In relating
his incident to Sir Henry Holland, the
queen added that that was the last tin
he Prince used pen.
