The secretary read the reports of the director, and the eagiorer, an abstract ofwhiol bat already appeared in ear columns. On the motion of the chairman the report and accounts were adopted. The chairman then moved- - "That this company be and is hereby authorised under the powers of • The Cornwall Railway Act, 1561; to borrow ea mortgage such further sums, not emending in the whole, theludins the company's pretest debt of 375,0204, the sum el 458,000/.. via., the sum a 82,9001. And that the direr. tors be and are hereby authorised sad empowered to borrow the same according on behalf of the company, at and for such times and rates of interest, and on such terms and conditions, as to them may seem expedient."

The following resolution was afterward, agreed to :—" Haying regard to the heads of arrangement between the iloretonhampateed and &nth Devon Railway Company of the first part, the South Devoe Railway Company of the second part, the Greet Western Railway Company, the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company, and Us Cornwall Railway Company of the third pert, which were confirmed by tbe Mormonestopeteed and South I >evon Railway Act, kW—Resolved, That the liability of this company to allow the rebate provided for by the tenth heed shall not be in any way affected by any arrangement from time to time made between the South Devon Railway C 01719615/ and the Moretoubampeteed and South Dana Railway Compsuy, with reaped to the applkation of all or any of the 1110111 CM from time to time receivable, in et wardsnee with the heads, by those two companies or either of them." LONDON. CHATHAM, AND DOVER. The directors report to the shareholders that the traffic receipts during the pest half-year have been Betide& tory, showing an hie-ream in the coaching of 45 per cent., and is the goods of 40 per cent. over the corresponding period of 1842, and that, notwithstanding the falling off in the eiratineutel traffic, which was unusually large last year, is consequence of the Exhibition. The directors, however. regrets° ai.y that this macrame has not benefited the revenue, in oonseijoance of the large amount which was necessarily expend= in earning it. This was owing principally to the facts that the company had no City terminus, that they had to pay tope sums to the Brighton Company for running Over their West-end line, and that having only a tempo rary goods terminus at Battersea, they were put to so tattle so expense in carting goods to the City, as quite to absorb any profit that might have been expected from that traffic. The company have also been obliged to organise a large establishment for the accommodation of the traffic win= may be expected when the system is completed, arid • very large aili!ittemal traffic may be carried on without increasing the expense in anything like the same proportion. The directors have sneeseded in effecting a ociiraiderable reduc tion in the expenditure, a subject to which they have given their earnest attendee. The receipts on the metropolitan extensiots have ale* been satisfactory considering their in eompleteneen ; for, although only opened for traffic between Victoria and the Elephant and Castle, the receip= have averaged above 901. • =lea week, for the six months. Since the open ior to Beckenham, the receipts have averaged above 1.731. • mile • weak, and last week they reached nearly 1501. The metropolitan extension was opened from Beckenham to Victoria sad the Elephant and Cards on the Ist July last. It was hoped that the Blackfriare station would have been completed by the Ist September amt, but some un foreseen difficulties have arisen which will delay the opening for ashen period. The bridge is being carried on with an menu which leaves so doubt of its completion in the awing of next year. The directors are informed that the second line of rails from Faversham to Herne Bay, sod the doable line from Herne Bay to Margate will be opened on the 21.1 proximo, and the line to ilsoiapte is the following mouth. Arrangements have been made at once to com mence the junction between the company's line at Earl street and the Farringdoo statiou of the Metropolitan Rail way, and to complete the same by Jane of next year. The bill they introduced into parliament for improving the approaches to Victoria station, and also for constructing • line to Greenwich, has received the royal assent. The pro. prietors will remember that the Brighton Company have agreed to subscribe 120,0001. (being one-half of the coed towards the construction of two additions] heed of railway from Victoria station to the south side of the river, in eluding a new bridge over the Thames. Upon their com pletion the existing lines will be handed over to the Brighton mpany, and the new lines will be devoted exclusively to the traffic of this and the (heat Western Company. The Great Western have agreed to contribute in the shape of sent to the ooastracSon of the proposed lines, in proportion to their user of them. 'rite board have given orders Inc making the working surrey and peeper* the notice plans, and no time will be lost in conimmicang Si. works. The engineer has also been instructed to make the working sur vey and prepare the notice place for the construction of the Greenwich line. This line will be made with capital raised exehuively on the security of the line itself. By strums meets with the South Eastern Railway Company the board have secured running powers over ,that company's line to Blackheath and Woolwich, so that • large traffic from those places, as well es feces Grerearrich and Lewisham will be brought over the company's railways and into their Vicrona and Blackfriars static= The sha-nholders will remember that the directors intro duced a till into parliament last session for constructing a line fr,ra their Metropolitan Extension at Herne-hill by Streatham to Sutton and Epsom, the Brighton Company promoting a line in the same direction. By agreement with that company this company's bill wee withdrawn, Si. Brighton consenting to arrangtineata for through booking, without change of carriage, for traffic from Spawn and the intermediate places. Mr. Hoiroyd having !missed the office of aacretary to the company, the directors, with Si. view of still securing the terriers of that gentleman, beg to suggest to the proprietors that he should be elected to the vacant seat at the board. The board have appointed Mr. Johnson. late the acconatant of the company, to be secretary la the place of Mr. Holroyd. KaNT COAST RAILWAY.—The directors report that the traffic on the opened portion of the line between Faversham and Hens Ray has been most satidactory, showing an Increase of 4021. over the cor responding half-year of 1813, or at the rate of 373 permit. The double line between Beene Hay and Margate and the second line of radii between Favenham and Berne Day will be opened on the lit proxhno, am originally eastern. ed; but the diroctore re,prot wends that for m a y beyond ooetrol the line to Ramsgate will not be completed by the same period, but the directors anticipate that the delay in opening this portion will not exceed a month. Upon the eompletion of the rulsay to Margate and Ramsgate the Imee to the London, Chatham, and Dover Com pany rouse into operation. The engineer reports that during the past six mouths the works at all points hove been carried on with great energy. On the first section (Favenbam to Herne Bay) the second line of permanent way has been laid sod the ballasting is in a forward state, the only other work necessary to complete the double line being the platform sod arrangements at Whitstable ; them &moos tabbed. Between Herne Bay and Margate the whole of the wenn are, complete, the 1 permanent way laid and partially ballasted, and the stations are rapidly ap proaching completion. Oslo' to the repeated modifications required by the enriceer to the Bowl of Trade in the plans submitted to him for the sea wall at Ramage* the coo tractors have been seriously retarded at this point ; and as the material required for the Ramsgate station ;trotted and esplanade had to be obtained from the tunnel, the last.oamed work was necessarily delayed until the arrangement, were complete. From the time that the engineer was enabled to give, the contractor, kid instructions in the matter they have made the meat etrenuotis exertion; and would, it was believed, hare finished the work by this time had it not here for the difficul'v of obtaining men at this period of the year. There still remains a coosielerable quantity of chalk is the side, of the tunnel, to remove which and com plete subsequent operation of laying and ballasting the . neat way will require some weeks. No difficulty is ris opening the line as far as Narrate on the let proximo. Unusual mottos to inspect the line havingbem meet to the Board of Trade. SET ia/OAKS, MAIDSTONE, AND TONBEIDOE RAIL wAT. —The directors report that the traffic during the past half-year has been sitisfaeory. Thu total receipts for the put year, being the first year of working, amount to 5,17 u/., betcg at the rate of rather more than 12/. per mile per week, and this from the traffic only between Sevenoaks and the west end of London. NVlen the City and goods termini of the London, Chatham, and Dover Compeer are completed a large secession of receipts may be expected, and these will fie stAl further increased when the Lewisham sod Tonbridge use of the South Resters is completed, by which a large pwtiou of the traffic from Hastier., Toobridge, and Toshrhige Walls will be brought over the company's railway. Up to the present time the London, Chat. ham, and Dover Company have worked the line et cost price, but the double line haring been completed and banded over to the London, Chatham, arid Dover Contrary os the lot instant, that cornany will in future receive only raper tent. of the gross receipts to cover all charges except rater trod taxes end direction soil office expenses. A mango- Inee'r ..rc is progress for commends; the junction lice with theSunth Eastern Railway, so that it may be completed at the same times' that compiny's line from Lewisham to Tor bridge now in coarse of construction. The directors farther repots that Mr. Hoiroyd has reeigned the office of seeretary to the company, and in order to retain that gentleman's valuable services beg to suggest to the pro. orient" that he should he elected to fill the vacant neat at the bawd. Immediately after the proceedings of the genii meeting sr* concluded, the meeting will be made special for the purpose of raising the sum of 96.000/, under the powers of the Simenoaks Railway Act, 1862.

HOME CIRCUIT.—CIoypox, Avousr 24. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell aml a Special Jury.) . LEFTWICH r. SMTTH. This was an action to recover damages from the defendant for having made false and fraudulent representations with re gard to the Inuiotaa of &public-6°in*, whereby it was alleged • that the plaintiff had bees induced to give a much larger sum for it than it was really worth. Mr. Lush, Q.c., &leant Salentine, and Mr. Talfourd Salter were for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C. and Sir G. Hooyman were for the defendant. This cause commenced on Saturday, and occupied nearly the whole of to-day, but the details were not of the slightest interest to the public. The house in question was the Black Horse, Tower-bill, a sailors' house, and it appeared that the defendant had purchased the premises in 1858, and the old house was pulled down and a much larger and more commodious one erected in its stead. He was desirous to let it in 1860, bat nothing was done at that time, and in 1862 the present plaintiff was desirous to purchase the property, and eventually did so, and paid 5,7501. for the goodwill, lease, Ac. According to the case for the plaintiff the defendant re presented that his takings were considerably over 4.000/. per annum, and he also represented that more than 1501. a year • was received from the billiard.room and the letting of beds. I It appeared, however, from the evidence of the plaintiff and his witnesses, that the supposed receipts had been very much exaggerated, and that during a period of eight months the average amount par month was not more then 2401. A great many witnesses were called is support of the plaintiff's case, and it wee proved that he had conducted the business in a most respectable manner, and that, not withstanding all his exertion*, the result was as above stated. He, therefore, claimed damages from the defen dant for having, as was alleged, induced him to part with his money by representations as to the amount of the business that was carried on, which he must have known to be false. . . Mr. Chambers, on behalf of the defendant, endeavoured to show that no fraud had been practised by him, and that the unprofitable result that bad been arrived at was pertly owing to the plaintiff having changed hie brewer, distiller, and other tradesmen, and to hi having conducted the how; in a manner that was not suited to the neighbourhood. The defendant and Lis wife were examined, and they de nied is the most positive manner that any fraudulent repro metations as to the amount of the Wilhite' had been mid. to the plaintiff. Tbey both swore that the amount they represented was actually received every month, and they produced a book which purported to contain an eatery of every day's takings, and they declared that every entry wee correct. and made at the Inns it was represented to have taken place. This book appeared to be materially relied upon by the defendant in support of his cue, and he sod his wife were subjected to a rigid croassixannaation by Mr. &clout Ballanties with reference to some of the items that wave contained in it, and he succeeded in pointing out one or two rather remarkable discrepancies in some of the entries. ..."1 . 117111 %Unwell, in eammiag up, briefly explained the "attire of the action, and said the jury would of cowne I understand that oo one was entitled to ask for daemon bemuse it might turn out that be had made a bed bargain, or that the result of the transaction in which be bad parted with bin money proved unfortunate. The only question they had to consider was whether it bad been made out to their satisfaction that the defendant had induced the plaintiff to take this business by false representations as to the amount of the takings. They had beard the defendant's evidence upon this point, and if they believed the book that bad been prodneed really motained panine entries, it world' appear to establish his case, and be was afraid that if they should come to the conclusion that the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict, they could only do so upon the supposition that this book had been manufactured for the purpose of amwering the present action. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaiotiff —damages, 1,1501. There was some 'podiw in the court when the verdict was delivered. - - . _ _ . In the Cu.

AGRICULTURE IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA. A copy of the agricultural statietice of South Alainlief°, theyeereed March 31,1863, continues toshow its agricultural pro-eminence over the neighbouring colo nise It may perhaps be remembered that on the discovery of gold in IN ew South Wale. and Victoria, its was threatened with annihilation by Ms getter rult n to the diggings that then set in. It is observed that the go vernment land sides at the upset prim of 11. per acts have reached 2,500,000 acres, being at the rate of more than 184 acres per head of the population. The amount of land enclosed is about four-fifths of the amount purchased. The pastoral tenure extending to fourteen years, there is • nameable inducement to fence, and this improvement ap pears to take place principally where large squatters have purchased large portions of their rues. In the south. eastern district, bordering on Victoria, there are nearly 800,000 acres enclosed by the squatter., but only 250,100 acres of this are purchased land, and not more than 10,000 acres are under cultivation. The land is rich, and there are some agriculturist. in the neighbourhood ; but the greater portion of the land was bought by squatters when their inns were surveyed for sale. 'the whole district Mamma the Murray and the Victorian border mataine 4,000,000 of arms and carries 800,0 W sheep and 50,000 head of cattle. Though the southern half of the district writable good land, the eortheru ball is principally occupied by mallet scrub. The enclosure of land last year proceeded to the extent of 231,000 acres, of which nearly the whole was for pastoral purposes , not above 8,000 acres being for agriculture. Agriculture, however, shadily ad. venom The increase in acreage under wheat was 9,524 acres, or an advance of three per cent. on the previous year, and, the mason being favourable, the crop amounted to 3,841,824 bushels—an in. Icrease of 431,000 bushels over the previous year. Next to whilst the colony promises to blooms famous for Its wine, and vines are being rapidly pleated. The increase over the previous, year amount. to 25 per mat. The vines in bearing number very nearly 3 000,000, and there are about as many not yet in bearing. The (mangy of wine made was nearly 473,000 Villein, or about 50 per cent. Maness oa the medusa, of the preceding season. The principal drawback to the production of a superior quality of wine sans to lie in the fact that the demand is so great that there is no keeping the wine till it is properly matured. Besides what was consumed in the relay, 20,000 pikes were shipped last year. It is this demand which is idiom. lating the multiplication of vineyards. The live stock returns show that the number of sheep amounts now to 3,431,000, an increase of nearly 400,000 en the previous year. Sheep, it appears, are be&nieg slowly to displace cattle on the runs of the far north. Cattle number some what over a quarts? of • million, and show no increase in their numbers, but rather • decrease on the previous year. Homes number about 50,0 W, and about 500 as. annually shipped to India. JUDGES' Cumossas.—To-day Mr. Justice Bytes will attend at Chambers, and continue to attend on Tuesday sod Friday is every week till the end of the " loeg vacation." HUSPICTBDMITRDER.—An inquiry wan opened on Saturday, at the Uaioa lou, Teigupsce, about 2j miles from Newton, by F. B. Coming, Seq., corour of the die. trict, touching the death of John Mews, aged 31, whose body was found in the water in the marshes at Teigiabridge, on Friday. The coroner said that the case they was met to inquire into was likely to be an important cue. It would seem by the appearance of the body that the deceased had been meet violently assaulted sad injured before death. He therefore considered it consistent with his duty that such 'serious inquiry should be adjourned for a few days, in order that the police, who be understood were in posses ! don of some important facia respecting the death of the deceased, should make the fullest iequiries into the circumstances of the case, so that the jury might h come to i a ad, infor per ted the usion . P. C. that if anti who m h ant te raps ook place he should be prepared at the next tapir" with some impor tant Grahame, which would no doubt throw light on the affair. The inquiry was them/ors adjourned until Thursday next. Mr. Hillard, surgeon, of Newton, who was in attend ance, was requested, with the aseistence of another medical man, to make a post etcetera examination of the body in the meantime. The jury then proceeded to view the body, and the place where the deceased was found, which is about a mile from the ion. The deceased, who was a mar ried man, was a motive of Ashburtos, and was employed as a dreams at the Bovey Pottery. He is stated to have at tended the Newton races on the evening of Thursday, the 1301 indent, in corm:may with a fellow-werkman named Coleman, and the last time his was seen alive waists late hour on the night in question. The place where the I doomed wu found wee one of the large pools of water, shoat 8 feet in depth, under one of the arches of Tejo i bridge, on the old Exeter road from Newton. .Oa each aide of the bridge are marshes, but there are no paths through them. The parapet of the bridge is 4 feet high from the road ; from the coping of the wall to the water is about 14 feet. It would seem, from the position in which the deceased was found, that he must have either climbed, fallen, or been thrown over the wall. On Wednesday the deessiaed's asp was found by a led named Trust in ooze of the marshes adjoining the road. rad about 20 yards from where the deceased was found. There were marks when the cep was found as of a severe struggle having takes place, and a track as of some heavy weight having been &Wad along the gees io the direction of the water. The body presented a frightful appearance, and the general belief is that the deceased was brutally beaten and afterwards thrown into the widen—Western Moriti brews. SHOCKING lAr3B Op LIFE IN THE RK ll C ANE..OKNT' —An inquiry was held by Mr. john Humphreys, the Mid dlesex COTOUOT, last eight, rapectiog the death of H 61217 Hyde, aged 10 years, who was drowned in the Regent's Canal on Friday last. It appeared from the evidence that deceased jumped into the water for the purpose of swim. ming. He sank almost immediately and was drowned, near the Cricketers' Tavern, Old Ford-road. Robert Rummell, the lock-keeper, said that he was got out in 25 minutes after im morales. The present made the 200th body which he Lad , himself got out of the Regent's Canal during the last 40 yeas. He had taken the greatest number of them out of the water within the last 20 years. A juror aid that more 11 lives were lost in that caul than on any railway in the kingdom. It was scandalous not to have the canal pro , pert, protected, as the railways were compelled to fence m their lima The coroner having summed up the jury re turned a verdict of Accidental Death, and recommended that the Canal Company should take some means of pre. ' I venting, by hieing or otherwise, the present sad lose of human life. FATAL ACCIDENTS WHILE BATHING IN THE GRAND SMUT CANAL.—On Sunday ahem:am at four o'clock, two yearn( mea (cousins) met their death by bathing in this mad. Notwithstanding the notices againet such practices, two young men named George Jones and William Jones, ages respectively 19 and 21, persisted in stripping on the bank near the Glengall-bridge, and plunging in the water. They bad scarcely reached the opposite hank, when one of the othcen, whose duty it is to range the basks, appeared, and William Jones attempted to recrces and dress before the officer came up. and in hastening to swim acmes we, seized with cramp. His cousin, George Joule, immediately plunged in to his assistance, but had so 110011111 reached him, than he was clutched by the drowning man, sad is the death struggle both sank to the bottom, and not withstand. ing the crowd of oe-lookers, no immediate assistance was rendered, and on the son-appearance of the men at the surface the dregs were fetched and the bodies recovered. Both were of course dead. Pawn/m.l4'nm. &CAPE OF AN EXPRPNB TRAIN.— Yesterday morning no accident happened to the 7.16 a.m. express from Birmingham to Paddington, on the Grist Western Railway. Whilet raining at full speed between Hatton and Warwick, the hind axle of the engine snapped, and one of the wheals flew off. The driver, feeling the jerk, immediately applied the break, but was unable to bring the than up until it bad run upwards of two miles. The engine left the metal at the womaut of stoppage. but fortunately the carriages kept the line, sad the whole of the passengers escaped without the slightest injury. Had the accident occurred upon the narrow gauge th e mum , quences would have been most serious, as the escape of the train is wholly owing to the remaining wheel of the broken axle gliding along the longitudinal sleepers which are used by the Great Western instead of the ordinary transverse ones. _ A BYTOM& GORED TO DEATH BY • BELLOCE.—A melancholy occurrence has jut taken place at !Marlborough, Wilts, Mr. Stephen Stroud, a butcher, residing in that tuns, having been gored to death by a bullock. It ap pears that Mr. Suomi wan about to bleed a bullock in his slaughter-bones previous to killing it, sad that the animal suddenly turned upon him and gored him, his born enter. lag the thigh of the unfortunate man. The wound, which was a serious one, war at sew bound up by a surgeon, but the injuries were so great that Mr. Stroud sank under them.

Mark-lane Expreu.) • - - The change to colder weather, with a little rain, though still useful to the gatherinp in the southern paste of the kingdom, hoe somewhat delayed the northern harvest where the corn wanted ripening. With so large an instal. meat safe, some warm rain would be a great benefit to the grass lands and roots ; and this is now becoming a serious want in many parts of Barone, especially for the crop of lodise corn in Italy, Hungary, and the Principalities. The sudden appearance of samples of the fine new crop in many markets has this week materially affer:ted prices—aay on an average 3s. per qr. ; and when the quality of the wheat is considered , this is an immense benefit to the country. Report* are more and more cosfirmatory that we have ' much beyond an average both in yield as well as quality ; and io very navy instances but year's poor return, hero been doubled. The country, therefore, as well as the farmer, has to be congratulated ; and if the prices in some foreign porta keep a little longer at their present gunge, we may be able to give them a turn in the way of export, with out fear es to the flour produced by British samples. Poli tically, too, in these martial times, it is as well to have a good store of breadstuff'. as well as powder, not only to feed the • n, but to keep the cash more at home. France r the near couutriee are still gradually declining ; but Danzig, from failures at home and fulness abroad. con sents to abandon • crown per quarter, without restricting the decline. At New York there is a moderate tendency that way ; and it is to be hoped that, for the rake of anent.. ing the custom of the South for breadstuff@ (likely to be in creasingly heavy), the military method of maldng* brotherly arrangement will be abandoned. The arrival' off the coast since the 14th inetaat.were 104 cargoes, of which 42 airgom were wheat, 88 maize, and 2 barley. The prime paid, we asfollows :--Gbirks wheat, 38s. to 38a. 7 ; American red, 375. to 41a. 9d. • amber, 40s. to 42a. 6 , & ; white, 46e. ; maize, 28s. to 28e. 3d. per qr.

The imports Into the kmeom for the week ending 15th of August were 175,246 qrs. wheat, 139,219 ewt. dour. - - - • • • The Leaden market on Moeday opened with fair arrivals of English and a moderate supply of foreign wheat. There was a good show of caw this morning ou the Emu and Kentish stands, though very little old. The coetianance of fine weather made millers extremely reserved, though a re duction of 3s. to 4s. wu &scripted on new qualities of white, and 2s. per qr. on red, and much remained unsold. Old was quite neglected, and the little business passing in foreign was done at Is. to Is. per qr. less money. Cargoes afloat were slowly placed at lc per qr. decline. On Wed nesday there were 340 qes. per coast and 7,710 qrs. foreign. Some progress was this day made in the coverlets samples of Monday at the previous rates, chiefly in new samples. Bales remained vary limited in foreign qualities, at about the same prams. Friday's return, were 1,150 par rout, and 27,810 qrs. foreign. With few fresh sam of English au show business was slow, fi ne weather sti ll ruling, 'but the prices both of English ad foreign ware much the rune as at the beginning of the week. There was a moderate show of estuary flout on Monday, though plenty from America. Barium" was very dull, and Norfolk' were Is. per sack lower. Little was done in bu n* though holders were willing to take 6d. per bd. rtelnc• tioo. The top price of town•made was reduced at the clue of the market from 475. to 43e. per sack, it having been quite nominal before. On Wednesday there were 230 sacks per coast, 70eacks, 14,340 brim. foreign. Vary little was doing, but no change of value could be noted either in country. made or foreign samples. The previous reduction on town made was confirmed. Friday's returns were 340 sacks coast wise, 70 sacks 18,920 brie- foreign. This was again a quiet day both for Norfolk' and American barrels, the heavy arrivals having some influence. - Very little barley, either British or foreign, was reported on Monday. Some of the new malting appeared of better quality, though little was doing io those sorts. Medium and low foreign sold slowly, at about the previous currency. On Wednesday there were 170 qrs. per easel, 3,010 qrs. foreign. A quiet trade then obtained in all qualities, both English and foreign, at unaltered quotations. Friday's quantities per coast were 170 qrs., with 3,520 qrs. foreign. Thom was thou no quotable change either as to values or the state of business. The malt trade remained very quiet, but quotations were much the same. No alteration subsequently took place. There was a large foreign arrival of oats on Monday, with much improved supplies of home-growth, as well as from Scotland and Ireland The trade ruled very dull, and gave way 6d. per qr, on all qualities, slots especially on light Marian, which were premed on the market to save the ex pense of landing.

Prior then continued much on the Berne Kele both for those of home growth and the foreign arrivals ; but business was slow. There was but a moderate show of homegrown beans on Monday. though the foreign arrivals were fair. Holders were asking rather more for choice qualities, but only about the same prices were realised both for English and foreign. The week flinched with prier much the same as at the commenoement. _ _ The supply of peu was altogether moderate. With the usual slow demand of the season, prises of all deseriptioos wereimuch the same. Friday was a dull day, without alters. tion of values. The linseed supply was moderate, and prices firm both for seed and cake. Bates were fully supported at the I close of the week. Ckiverseed was less inquired for on foreign account. Trefoil was steady as to value, as well as fine canaryseed. The few new winter tares showing are not very fine, and as yet attract but few buyers; 7s. 6d. per bushel being mired. The harvest being finished in some places, and only commencing in others, many markets also being small, exoepting in the southern counties, where fair quantities of new were exhibited, the accounts must necessarily he irregular as to values, but in general it may be stated all were lower; where only old was on show it wan down fully Is, per qr., and where new appeared in quantity it was 2s. to 3s. per qr. down. Liverpool, oe Tuesday, made no change from the previous day's rates for wheat or other grain. Mixed maize was sold at 265. 6d. per qr., and white at 295.

Great heat was seriously complained of at Berlin as in jurious to vegsitatioo. All grain was cheapening from the favourable opinion of the crops. Harvest-work had been rapidly proceeding in the neigh bourhood of Konigsberg In consequence of fine weather. The rye was safe, and the wheat partly so. The demand for Finland and Sweden having subsided, prices of grain were declining, especially wheat and rye. No barley was coming to hand at present.

On the first day el the week a heavy shower ' fell in the forenoon, but it afterweads dewed up, and was ' fine and breezy throughout the remainder of the day. Slight showers were experienced in the forenoon of Monday, ' tine at intervals afterwards, but with some heavy rain at 5 p.m. On Tuesday the temperature was lower, the ther mometer being down to 56, and the barometer standing at 20.75. Wind N.W. Oar &deices on that day from Spalding state :—" Sinai my last report the weather has been all that mould be desired for harvest operatioas, and peat progress has been made in these districui. Two-thirds of the grain are out, but only • small portion in stack." From Newcastle the same day it was stated :—"Theweather since our last 'sport has for the most part been fine and favourable for the crops, with winds from the east and north-east. Wind to day north-west." From Hull oe the same day it was :—" The weather has continued as fine las could be desired, the occasional rains having had no injurious effect upon the crops. The harvest is now general in this district, and, with a continuance of gm weather, will very soon be satisfactorily secured." On Wednesday • steady rain was experienced for the greater 'part of the day—thermometer 62 dep., barometer 26.70 is., wind south-west to treat. This would put a stop to harvest work wherever it was prooeediog. From Nottiogharoshire OD that day it was remarked :—" The weather was very fine up to,Mooday, but since then we have bad refreshing showers, and the root crops have been greatly benefited ; the pastures will also be considerably improved. The corn crops on the whole are very well reported of. Wheat is • splendid crop, and the yield and quality of barley will be good. Oats have been gathered in excellent condition. Beans var. r " From Norfolk on the same day our advice, state " • have had showers yesterday and to-day, otherwise the weather has been fine, and harvest °pentane have gone on freely ; about two-thirds of the wheat midi one-third of the barley are secured in fine order, but them showers will sow interfere with the condition of the rest." On Thursday rain fell .at intervals ; the thermometer was dews to 60 dep.. barometer 30 iodise, and rising ; wind N. to N.W. From the West Riding of Yorkshire on that day our adnces state :—" I have been around to reconnoitre, and found splendid crops of wheat and barley, all ready for cutting, in fact ; a great deal is cut, but not much carted. We have had several showers during the week, and it is yet gloomy, so that I scarcely expect our farmers will be able to get their corn up io the lame condition ea it has been got in the south." From Suffolk, on the same day, our &deices say :—" Since Sunday the weather has been cold and cloudy without rain, until last evening, when heavy showers fell. The bulk of the wheat in this district is secured in excellent order, and the yield is reported as most satisfactory. On the forward Wide, a large breadth of Miley bout, stair proportion secured ; and Hassan:mice shown, although varying in quality, promise well for thegeneral crop." Again, from the same county, on the coast it was remarked : ' - `The weather here Las continued fine and dry until last evening, when we had several hours' most refreshing rain, the • very polish' required for our barley crop. The wheat harvest is mealy over with us, and the barley rapidly pro- gressing, but the rain of yesterday will stay carting awhile --quauuty and quality, with some exceptions, will be highly satisfactory, and 1868 undoubtedly will be deemed as one of the finest growths of grain on record." Friday proved a fine dry day—wind N.W., thermometer. 62 deg., barometer inches—and a good deal of grain would go up in fair condition, although generally, we thick, DO grain has been secured in such fine order in this as during last week. Wheat simples will not handle so dry, but the barley will be all the better for this moisture—im proving its malting properties materially, whilst there has not been sufficient rain to discolour the sample.

THE MOORS AND FORESTS. hrmettirrnuar.—The sport on the moors has this season not turned oat so good aa was formerly anticb pated. Oe the bills in the immediate neighbourhood grouse are not scarce, but from the favourable hatching time enjoyed they are strong on the wing, adexceed ingly wild. Many of the young birds are so well grown that it is difficult to distinguish them from old once. The bags generally are much the same as that of last year. Mr. Miller has had good sport on Leithen hopes, the bags reusing from 10 to 20 brace of grouse daily to two guns. On Cardrona, the baits of Mr. Williamson and friend averaged about 11 brace of game during the past week. On the 12th, Mr. Reeks°, of Ediuburgh, bagged 14 brace on the Traquair hills, but the sport has rather grown worse than improved since. Last year the Mesas. Rankin made the best begs in Peeblesehire on the same hills. On Mr. Brown's shootings on Elibank moor, 165 brace of grouse were killed the first day. Mr. Tennant bas not yet returned to the Glen from Germany, where he has been for several weeks. On the moors in the upper part of the county the sport has not been nearly so good. The stock of grouse was so much reduced by sickness last year that although the coveys have been large this year, the birds are still scarce. On the Stcho moors, Sir G. Graham Montgomery has Ulla year, as last, limited the begs to 10 brace daily. Mr. James, of Eiintomb, along with some friends, has Leen out on the Glenrotho hills, but we bare not heard with what results. CRIEFF. —The weather during the whole of the past week has been all that could be desired for prosecuting sport on the moors, end the number of grouse and other kinds of game killed daily since the shooting season opened is almost unprecedented in this district of Perthshire. The late broods of grouse have improved much during the past week, with the refreshing showers of rain and bright suoshine. His Royal Highness the Maharajah Dhuleep Singh bagged on Loeb Reamed range, Grandtully, to his own gun, oa the 20th and 21st, 135 brace of grouse, besides blackcock and other game. Mr. Henry Russell shut at Garrams, on the 21st, 35 brace of grouse. On Thursday and Friday, the Hon. A. C. Dander and son killed on the moors of Corrie muckloch 80 brace of grouse and a few brace of blackcock. At A uchnafree, on the 20th and 21st, Mews. Laecellea. Abner, and other two guns hogged 80 brace of grouse, 170 head of romustazo hares, and a number of blackcock. The Glenquoich moors were opened on Wednesday by Mr. Web ster, who shot 12 brace of grouse, and has been very success. td sham. WATERFORD AND LIMERICK RAILWAT.—The directors report that there is little difference in the re. oeipts from those of the correeponding half-year of 1862. in which the amount received was 3 2/. I6s. 3d. while in the last half.year it has been 32,933/. 18.. Id., showing an increase of 491. After providing for the interest on looms and dividends on all our preference stocks, the net avnilable surplus is 2,400/. Ils. 11d. The directors recom mend a dividend of ss. per share on the original capital, being the same amount which has been paid, on the last three corresponding half-years. Asslysing the traffic, we find that during the past half-year there hes been in first and wooed-class passengers a decrease, but a considerable increase in third class ; there has al so been a decrease in receipts from military ; but this is an item not in any way within our control. In goods traffic there bas been decrease, but an increase in cattle and pigs ; while we have received 9531. additional for the carriage of mails. The legitimate traffic from almost every town on our line, to and from the town of Waterford, is steadily maintained, and we feel confident, under favourable auspices, is destined largely to increase. The works of the new termi nus adjoining the bridge at Waterford are now considerably advanced, and we expect it will be open early next year. affording a great amount of convenience to pawners, and allowing us to leave the present narrow and ill-constructed road to the cattle and goods traffic of our line, for which, with the ordinary Intercourse of a high road, it is barely sufficient. Parts of the premises which we do not at pre. sent require have been advantageously let, and the smell additional amount we shall have to put on tickets (not ex ceeding threepence on first•class, and two-pence on second claw), will, we believe, be willingly responded to by the public.

COLONIAL AND FOREIGN WOOL SALES.—These mks °peed, as morel, with a very large attendance of bores and fore** buyers, and the prices realised at the commence. meat showed an advance of ed. to 18. per lb. Of the average rates of the previous series. This rue we. mainly to be attributed to the eagerness displayed by continental buyers, in their competition with English coo/ewers, whothad run out of stock when these sake °Dammed. About the second week, the apprehension that a European war might arise oat of the Polish question mused a cemition of par. chases for the Continent, and prima receded to the average of May rates. This fall, however, was very temporary, for S soon became evident to our English staplers and mann. factures. that notwithstanding the large proportion taken by foreigners out of the preceding sales, they were again baying to almost the same extent. From this time to the dose the competition each day bas been more spirited both by home and continental buyers, the latter having taken above oat-third of the quantity offered, and we may now quote the advance as fully id. per lb. oe the average prices obtained in May. Considering the present exesumption of wool in this country and the prospect of an abundant harvest (which an unusually hot summer has, up to the present time, enabled farmers to secure in good condition) we think the prices paid are fully warranted and will leave a good re suit to purchasers. Port Phillip.—There hes been a very small proportion of good clean deem and a much huger quantity of scoured than in usually sold at this seams. Sydney. —An average assortment has bees offered, which has been eagerly competed for.
