The ordinary half-yearly general meeting of this com,•,ny was held yesterday at theAtul 'terminus. Tn., notice e divining the meeting having . :•een read, The ell SIIOIAN opei.til the proceeiling., and concluded by eilliut upon the secretary to read tie report, as follows: With respect to the revenue account, it must be re marked that cir . wnstonces of peculiar disaaventage have atle.:ted both receipt and expenditure in the half year. Luring the whole period, the tares of plumage.' and rates for goods over all the Great Western lines have undergone the compulsory reduction, consequent upon the opening of the Birmingham and Oxford Hallway ; nor has the full con side:ration fur that reduction even yet been received by the company, inasmuch as the Birmingham line remains iso lated from all connexion with the northern traffic, until the railway shall be opened into Wolverhampton ; and even the local trade in acad., which only partially commenced in the enon e. :.! February, is very much limited at present, by want of a direct communication with the canals of the dis trict. 't he wet season and the floods, while they have naturally diminished the Willie, have at the crow time increased the expenditure, especially in the necessary repairs to give greater solidity to the works of the railway. Under all these disadvantages, uncontrollable by your di• rectors, it is a satisfaction to present the accounts with a result which enables the proprietors to declare the usual dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, leaving a balance 17,760 f. 3s. id. slid to be carried over, subject, however, to a deduction not yet ascertained en account of the South Wales knee referred to in the auditars'report. That document conveys other general information in rela tion to the aceoines, which it becomes needless therefore to repeat. In consequence of payment being made for the pur chase of the Birmingham and Oxford, and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, end Bodity Railways on the day ap pointed, Tic, the lye of Aprd, 1843, the capital account of this company now comprises the whole sum paid or ea pend.d for those undertakings. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. " There are decided indications of improvement is the revenue storing the present half.year. During the lint six months of 18.53, for balance, the average increase of the receipts fur traffic over the corresponding period of 1852 was only 2,2701. per week, while the increase since the Ist of July, 18.13, boa averaged 5,1001. per week. The mineral trade from South Wales is only now commencing, and that from the Birmingham districts is still untouched ; bat everything leads the directors to rely upon considerable ec gelation of such traffic from both sources, awl they have already entered into engagements fur the conveyance Of largo quantities from South Wales, as soon as the proper means of communication for receiv ing and delivering the minerals can be completed. " Fur this and other purposts,it became necessary to under take the constrution of a new dock at Bull's bridge, with adiliti owl canal wharfage, buildings, sidings, and ether works in connection therewith, where coals and iron, as well as general merchandise can be coavenienily transferred to and loom bares passing to the leaver Thames, and the principal docks a London. Already this enlarged accom modation is in partial use, and the works will probably be completed before the winter. It well be necessary to pro vide also some cottages tor the men and stabling for horses at Sull'rehridge, Ibe estimates for the whole outlay not ex. ceeetng 25,0001 The terminal charges to be made for the use of the docks. will bring an adequate return for she money s) to be invested. Increased accommodation at Swindon for both rata and works is also indispensable to provide fur the growing business of the locomotive depart. meet, is consequence el the additional mileage of railway recently opened end about to be opened within the next eighteen months. The repairs alone of the engines will diem absorb ell the resources of that establishment for the labour and accommod scion of the mechanics, wad preparations fur meeting the exigency must be made without lose of time. The directors recommend that a sum of 2.5,0001. should be voted for that purpose at the present meeting. Additional stock in engines, carnage', and waggons, must be procured for the same purposes, and they estimate that orders imme diately to be given will involve an outlay of 150,0001. upon the plant indispensable for the new business to be under taken is 1551 The new station buildings for passeagers and for the engine houses at Paddington are advancing,wbich premises will be occupied for business probably at the end of this year. A resolution will be necessary for a further sum of 60,0001., to be applied in the additional 'station works, which are progressing for goods and minerals. With respect to these eeveral items of expenditure, it must be clearly understood that they are provided expressly fur new business accruing to the company; and that the cost will be recompensed by the eine mileage to be charged fur the employment of such additional plant, besides the in terest for terminal seconiniodetiou, and rents of cottages to be received by the company. •• he board have been anxiously considering the position of the company with respect to further portions of un finished railways, wiiich were actively commenced st one time, and then suspended in :be mason of financial difficul ties. Of such works it seems to the directors most de sirable, for various reasons, to resume and proceed, in the first instance, with the completion of the line between War minster and Salisbury; and it is recommended that the approval of the proprietors should be signified by a resolu tion to that effect. The sum of 130,0001. has been already paid for the land, works, and other contingent expenses, in respect of that railway; a further expenditure, estimated at 160,0001., with a single line of rails, will render about 20 miles of railway available for traffic. When the lied stock branch shall have been opened, there will be a con siderable trade in Somerset coals carried on over the Salis bury line, besides other traffic conveyed to the general sys tem of Great Western lines. "The directors of the Cornwall Railway Company having ascertain. d their financial ability to construct the broad gauge connection betwten Plymouth and Falmouth.. after abandoning some branches, re-comment vd their works lis year, and are carrying titer's on with great spirit. The Plymouth adapted to steamers of considerable size, are pritressing favourably, and wiil AMA great accommo dation for c.douial and fur. ;go trade at that port. Milford Haven, at the terminus of the South Wales Railway, is certain also to is•come a most important position for the largest class of ocean steamer•, which can there find ample space fur every purpose, in deep water, at all times of tide, with the peculiar advantage of obtaining their fuel at very low prices, direct from the steam coal fields in South Wales. The Eastern Steam Navigation Company, and the Austra lian Direct Steam Navigation Company, rid Panama, both having obtained their charters, have fized upon Milford Haven as their permanent harbour and station fur their basin, is. By the Great Western Act of the present session, au thority has been obtained to convert the deb e nture b onds or debt iato a mortgage stock or mortgage ' .. ...epetuai au nuities. The main object of such .inversion is to avoid 'le capture and obviat. • tor uncertainty incidental to • renewal of bonds, or reborrowing of money from time to time, in order to discharge loans made for a fixed period, when the debentures come to maturity. This operation is of course only to be effected with advantage at a time when the money market admits of issuing the stock at a mode rate rate of interest. The act, therefore, provides for the protection of the company that the interest shall, in no case, exceed 4 per cent. per annum on such securities. If the proprietors shall think proper to delegate to the board, by a special resolution, the right of issuing such mortgage stock or perpetual annuities to be created within the terms and provisions of the act (or a specified sum, they will avail themselves of every favourable opportunity to carry it into effect. " Under the advice of the auditors, notice of forfeiture was given in the month of March iast, to the proprietors then in ureter for calls during a period of two years and upwards, and as three months have since elapsed, it has be come necessary, in compliance with the provisions of the act, to obtain • coo firmation 01 the forfeiture of certain shares or stock by this general meeting, with an authority to the directors to dispose of the amount necessary to dis charge arrears upon them with interest and incidental expenses. " Mr. Dickinson, one of the auditors of the company, has addressed a letter to the board, which will be read to the meeting, resigning that office. in consequence of his in , ability to give continued attention to the labours of it. The board are desirous of recording their sense of the obliga tions of this company to Mr. Dickinson, for the perform ance of each responsible and arduous duties during a pe riod of five years, and their regret at his retirement from ogee. _ _ " It ss a source of the deepest sorrow to the directors that they have been deprived, by a lamentable accident, of the invaluable services of their late colleague and friend, Mr. James Gibbs, of Bristol, whuse death, while in the actual performance of his duty, must be dept red by every one to whom he was known. These sentiments cannot be ex pressed more appropriately than in the city of Bristol, where sympathy for the loss of one deservedly esteemed in relation of life has been so strongly manifested.— C. ltutscs.l., chairman. Paddington Station, August 17, Isd3." The Catenates then moved that the report be adopted. The Rev. Mr. N ictictLeos seconded the resolution. Mr. DALLOWAY complained that no statement bad been made of the parliamentary and legal expenses of the pan half-year, sad intimated his intention of moving an ad journment to the third Thursday in September, in order that an account of such expenditure might be presented, to gether with a corsectod statement of the balance mattr pay ing the award to the South Wales Company, and some information as to the course the directors in tended to take in regard to the hostile projects which were threatening them on every side. He feared that to continue the opposition with the London and North Western would result in • considerable lon in their western traffic. Ile complained, also, that the branch lines occasioned considerable loss to the company. The CIIILIKM4T4 said it was not the fault of the directors that the parliamentary and legal accounts were not pre sented ; those for the present session had not yet come in, and only a portion of those of the previous half-year. Mr. DALLOWAY would not press his motion, which was withdrawn. _ _ Mr. DALLOWAT moved that at any future meeting held at Bristol free passes should be allowed to London pro prietors holding stock to the amount of 1,0001. The CHAIRMAN reminded the Proprietor that the line originated with the people of Bristol. The set of parlia ment required that the alternate meetings should be held in that town, and the proposal which had been made and dis cussed before, would give ►n undue advantage to the Lon don proprietors, as against those who resided in other parts of the country. The resolution was not seconded, and couequently fell to the ground. A resolution declaring the forfeiture of certain shares on which calls were in arresr over two years was then passed, and the meeting having been made special, another resolu tion was agreed to authorising the Board, under the powers of the act of 1853, to create a new Preferential Stock in lieu of the Debenture or other debt of the compaty, to the ex tent of not exceeding 4,000,0001., at such times and on such terms as they may think fit, in accordance with the provi sions of the act of parliament, which limits the interest to be paid to 4 per cent. The CHAIRMAN, alluding to the correspondence that had passed between the Great Western and the North Western Boards, suggested that it should be taken as read. This suggestion was adopted and the meeting separated. "Although the results of the session just closing have been various, and this company has met with some disap pointment and delay in the settlement of questions sub mitted to parliament, the directors, upon • general review, have reason to be satisfied with the principal decisions of the legislature. The Mid-Western Railway between Ox ford and Breatforti and the Cheltenham and Oxford Bills were both rejected by the committees of the Rouse of Com mons. The Tring and Oxford BM, and the Stratford-on- Avon and Leamington Bill, both promoted to divert to the London and North Western lines the traffic of districts con nected with the Great Western system, were thrown out in the Rouse of Lords. On the other hand, the Devon and Dorset Railway Bill, promoted by the Bristol and Exeter, in conjunction with this company, was defeated before • committee under peculiar circumstances. The directors ad visedly refrain at present from making comment upon the past, or expressing any opinion u to the future policy of this company in reference to railways for the accommoda tion of those districts. An act has passed during the present session for incorporating a company to make • metropolitan railway between Paddington end King's.crose, by means of a subway under the New-road, which will form an important link in the communication by railway between the Great Western station and the City. Although your directors have taken no part in originating that undertaking, they are of opinion that it may become • valuable feeder to the line, and the promoters of it arc willing to effect • junction with the railway of this company, and to afford great facili ties for our traffic. Another company, in alliance with them, is engaged in carrying out a continuation of the North Metropolitan Railway, into the City, and it is the opinion of your board that advantageous arrangements may be mutually mails for the convenience of carrying on the traffic in a manner consistent with the interests of the three companies. All amalgamation bills were suspended during the seeeion under the resolutions of Mr. Cardwell's committee, and it is satisfactory to perceive by the final report of that select committee that the contemplated amalgamation of the Midland Railway Company with the Lundat and North Western Company involves a principle not likely to be sanctioned by par liament. Your directors entirely concur in the recommendation of the same committee, whisk proposes to secure compulsory P facilities over railways in respect both of goods and passengers for affording to ths public the full advantage of emivenient interchange free one system to another,' and to prescribe ems metlied enforcing the mauls:ions for it. They Mee nu need as opinion also that ' working arrangements Imitinea dillsrat companies for the regulation of traffic MA oat division of profits ought to be sanctioned under proper isenditions, and for limited periods and have admitted that in minor of special cases amalgamation bills may be allowed ' when the true and only object of such applications is improved economy of management, and consequent advantage to the public.' If the resolutions to faithfully carried out is future legislation, it is evident that the renewed efforts et the London and North-Western Company will be Masi tual to seclude the trsflic of this line et Wolverhamptot from the northern communications beyond it, but that access will be obtained by this company not only to the traffic of the Lancashire markets but of the more remote districts also, with the same active competition which the London and North Western have been earning on in the west of England, by combination with the Midland Com loany- " A correspondence has been recently published, from which it will be seen that the London and North Western Company still avow their intentwe to continue • course of de termined resistants to agreements made by this company with the two Sbrowsbary companies for the interchange of traffic i n the north; while they expect the directors of the Great Western Company, separately from their allies, to entertain proposals for being bound under penal ties, never to charge lower rates to the public than the London and North-Western and Midland Companies, without any compensating benefit to the proprietors of this Company, so long as they succeed in obstructing the ultras ponduig free transit of Foreseen and goode over the Great Western and Shrewsbury lime. This board must delibe rately decline to conclude any agreement of that character, which is subversive of the engagements into which they have entered with the Shrewsbury companies and the Duke of Brideeevrater's trustees, under the existing relations with those partite. It would be a source of much pleasure to terminate conclusively all differences by an agreement upon conditions which can be enforced upon all the com panies affected by them ; but nothing would be more fatal to the prospects of this company than to incur an obligation which may he used against themselves, of maintaining rates while the contest between the two companies is still to be carried on as threatened in Mr. Stewart's letter of the 6th August. The determination of the directors has been com municated to the London and North-Western hoard in a reply from the secretary, dated the 16th inst., to that letter. Your directors consider it to be the most expedient course Ittruirr.triox OP HEMP.—Yesterday a return to under all these circumstances, to do everything in their l' eat was printed, from which it eppean that in 1861 power to cement and strengthen their alliance with the two a e r ma re 1,301 - 488 cwt. of hemp imported, 1,194,181 cwt.

JIMICI The court this moruiog proceeded to try the ilillratt iealetea for the wilful murder of her larant child, William liodkinson, at Liverpool. The prisoner is a married woman, the mother of eight children, and has at times suffered from mental aberration. On the morning of the 4th August last the prisoner's hus band was alarmed at the prisoner awakening and com plaining 'hat she was dying and that the infant was dying ; but upon the husband looking he saw nothing the matter with the child. At 6 o'clock he got up to get his breakfast, and shortly afterwards heard one of his daughters scream. Ile went up stairs and found his wife standing on the door in her night-dress, with a knife in her hand, and the baby in bed with its throat cut. She said she had done it. She said that a Mrs. Kenyon a female who lodged in the house, had given her the knife, and asked her to cut the infant's throat. Her husband im mediately secured her. After hearing the evidence of the surgeon who had at tended the prisoner in several of her confinements, Ilia Lordship directed the jury to acquit the prisoner en the ground of insanity. Of course she will be confined during her Majesty's pleasure. blvirian, OF • SAILOR. Satan Campbell was indicted for the wilful murder of Wm. Goodfen, at Liverpool, on the 12th July. Mr. Blair appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Tindal Atkinson undertook the prisoner's defence, at the request of his lordship. The prisoner upon being called upon to plead, said, I cannot plead guilty, my lord, when I don't remember it." The circumstances of the case were as follows :—On the evening of the 12th July, the deceased, with two ether sailors, and s female, went into the Pall-mall vaults, when they had each a glass of ale. They were perfectly sober. In about twenty minutes after, the prisoner, who had been drinking, came in and said something to Ooodfen who told her that she was not wanted there. She made use of some vituperative expression, upon which Ooodfen gave her a slight back-hand slap on the face. She then sat down. In a abort time the sailors went out of the house, and presently a female shriek was heard, and Good fen came rushing into the vault, his neck streaming with blood. He was immediately taken to a druggist's shop, and from thence to the Northern Hospital, where he lin gered for several days, and then died. The principal wit ness for the prosecution was a female named Ann M'Orath who lived in Pall-mall-court,who stated that about 11 o'clock on the morning of the 12th July she saw the prisoner, who wee in liquor. The prisoner had a knife in her hand, and swore she would take somebody's life before night. On the same evening witness, with Goodlen and two other sailors, went into Taylor's, the Pall-mall Vault. The pri soner came in and asked Ooodten to treat her. He de clined to do so, and then she said, with an oath, I'ay me what you owe me." lie said, "My good woman, I owe you nothing; I don't know you." He gave her • slight tip on the cheek. She sat down, and, putting her hand into her pocket, said, " Is not that sweet ?" three times over. The sailors and witness bade Mr. Taylor good night and went out of the place. The prisoner followed them up the street, and reaching over witness's right shoulder, made an attempt to stab Ooodfen. She was asked to go away. Upon which she came up again, and striking Gloodfen with the knife en the side of the neck, said "Take that." ()oodles staggered against witness, who screamed out " Murder!" The prisoner ran off. Oa cross-examination by Mr. Atkinson, the witness said she lived in a brothel, nest door to the prisoner. William Gray, Police-constable 645, who was called to the spot, proved that he found Ooodfen bleeding in the street. He afterwards took the prisoner into custody. She said if she had stabbed him she had done it with her fingers, and she did not eare:how soon she left Liverpool. Witness afterwards got • knife from a lad named Morris. Wm. Handsome, another constable, proved that he took Ooodfen in • cab to the hospital. Wm. Morris, • lad living in Bonny-place, proved that he found • knife with bloat upon it, on the morning of the 13th July. Ann Edwards, of No. 4 Court, Pall-mall, with whom the prisoner lodged, said that the knife produced belonged to some sailors. She had never seen it in the prisoner's possession. Cross,examined—She had been drinking all the morning, and was in bed at the afternoon. Mr. W. B. Wall, the house surgeon at the Northern Hos pital, said that Goodfen was brought to the Hospital about 11 o'clock, on the night of the 12th July. He had been stabbed in the carotid artery, and was in a state of collapse. He gradually sank, and died on the 16th. Mr. Atkinson addressed the jury on behalf of the pri soner, contending,that, from the facts which had been proved, the prisoner was not guilty of murder, but guilty of the lesser offence of manslaughter. His Lordship briefly went over the evidence, explaining the law as applicable to casts of murder and manslaughter. The Jury retired, and after an absence of about twenty minutes, returned a verdict of " Guilty of Manslaughter. ' His Lordship, after an impressive address, sentenced the prisoner to twenty years' transportation. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT.-YESTEINDAT. Baroaslls. Haim YiArr. imp Ma. Juan= Tiarovan. James Coon, b2, smith, was indicted for cutting and wounding Harriet Sargent, with intent to murder her. Mr. Ewan prosecuted; Mr. O'Brien defended the pri soner. The circumstances of this case were of rather an extraor dinary character. It appeared that the prosecutrix was a young married woman, and that the prisoner was on in iimate and friendly terms with her and her husband. On the night mentioned in the indictment the prosecutrix met the prisoner accidentally, and he invited her to drink with him, and they had some beer together at one or two public ' houses, and it appeared that the prisoner made some im proper overtures to the proseesstriz, and pressed her to accede to his wishes. The prosecutrix did not appear to have resented this conduct, but continued to walk with him until they came to a field, across which the prisoner said there was a footpath, and they went into the field to gether. When they had gone a short distance, the proaecu trix stated that the prisoner suddenly seized her by the throat, drew a knife from his pocket and inflicted a very severe wound with it upon her neck. The prosecutrix, who was at first not aware of the injury she had received, asked the prisoner what he was about, to which he replied, You are a dead woman," and then ran away. She very speedily found herself covered with blood and 'seriously in jured, but she contrived to make her way to a house in the neighbourhood, where assistance was procured, and she was removed to the London Hospital, where she re mained for several weeks. Two days after the transaction the prisoner gave himself up, the police constable stating that his doing so was in consequence of something he had done on the Saturday before, and he added that be had cut the proseeutriz, but he was drunk at the time he did it. Mr. O'Brien, in his address to the jury for the prisoner, said he was utterly unable to account for his conduct, and the only point he could urge in his behalf was that he must have been in such an excited state from the liquor ho had taken, that he was not competent to form any distinct in tention at the time he committed the act, and if the jury were of the same opinion he said they would be justified in acquitting him of the more serious part of the chugs . Mr. Justice Talfourd summed up, and the jury, without any, deliberation, found the prisoner Guilty of the full offence charged in the indictment. Sentence of death was recorded against the prisoner, an intimation being given that the capital punishment would be commuted to one of transportation for lite. Thomas Garnal, 34, was charged upon a coroner's in quisition with the manslaughter of his wife, Martha Garnett. Mr. Platt prosecuted ; Mr. Doyle defended the pri soner . This was one of the cases alluded to by the Itecerder in his charge to the grand jury, and with respect to w hi c h h e expressed an opinion that there was no evidence to support the charge. It was admitted by the learned counsel for the prosecution, in his opening speech, that he was unable to show the commission of any act of violence by the pri soner towards the deceased, and it was sought to establish the charge by making out that the prisoner had neglected to provide his wife with sufficient food and nourishment. There was nothing like positive testimony, however, to establish this fact, and it appeared that although at times the family were in a distressed condition, yet that this was to be ascribed to the prisoner not being able always to obtain employment. The cause of death was clearly made out to be consumption, and Dr. (Jell, one of the medical officers of Clerketiwell pa rish, in which the prisoner and the deceased resided, stated that there was sufficient disease on her lungs to have ac counted for the death of twenty people. Baron Platt, at the close of the evidence, expressed his opinion that nothing had been proved is support the charge, I and he added that the prisoner ought never to have been placed in his present position. Mr. Doyle said that the coroner told the jury at the in quest that there was no evidence. Baron Platt said he observed that there was an endorse mint made by the coroner upon the depositions, stating that he had directed the jury that there was no evidence to support the charge of manslaughter, but that they, never theless persisted in returning thsit verdict. (A laugh.) The prisoner was ordered to he at once discharged from custody. NEW COURT.—YEsTEit DAY. Et runs Ist Cosmos assusairr. Job Coleman, • respectable looking max, surrendered to ' take his trial for forging and uttering a receipt with intent. Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Parry defended. I The fact. of the can, tibial appeared in evidence, wen briefly these. The prosecutor is a hay salesman and the pr:smcr is a cow keener in U.iion-etreet, Hackney. Pri soner was in the habit °ideating with the prosecutor fur hay, an l was in the rrosecutor's debt, paying for what lie had, And what he owed by instalments. In October last year he owed 121. Sc., and then purchasing some more, paid 4/. to a tenon named Whaley, who was prosecutor's agent. The debt kept running on until June it the present year, when moiecutor sued the prisoner in the City Sheriff's Court, and prisoner then produced the receipt in question for 12/. 21., which he said had been given him by Whaley, and that be had paid the money to prosecutor's wife. This was sworn to by the prisoner, who was then defendant, and examined on his own behalf, but being de nied by the prosecutor and his witnesses, a verdict was given in his favour, and the receipt ordered to be im pounded. The cross-ektmination as to the manner in which the payments had been made and the receipts given, leaving some doubt about the matter, The jury, after hearing his Lordship, acquitted the pri soner. THIRD COURT.-YEEITERDAT. Bvou R.Gcluiry, Eaq. , Q.C. Charles alias Frederick Henry Thompson, 31, hairdresser, ?leaded guilty to an indictment, charging him with having married with Constance Mary Nolin, his wife being alive. It appeared that all the parties were from the city of Nor wick, where both the marriages had been celebrated. Ten years ago the prisoner's first wife left him to live with ano ther man, and since then he had paid his addresses to Mary Nolin, who knew that he had another wile, and had got her to agree to the second marriage. Nolin married him four years ago, and had two children by him. After her mar riage with the prisoner, they lived together in the same house with the first wife. Mr. Gurney asked who prosecuted. The prisoner said his second wife ; it was a mere family affair, and done out of spite ; she wanted to get his thing away from him. The Commissioner said that the second wife had not suf. fared by the prisoner's conduct, and sentenced him to 14 days' imprisonment. George Roles, 23, labourer was indicted for a burglary in the dwelling-house of George Brook. and stealing thence two gold watches, some jewellery, Id sou. and a bank-note for 101. He was also indicted for receiving the same. Mr. Metcalfe prosecuted, and Mr. Parry defended. It appeared that on Tuesday night, the 19th of last month, the bedroom of the prosecutor, who keeps the !Ulu Castle Esher-street, Kennington-lane, was broken open, and the drawers forced and a quantity of money and jewellery stolen, and also the two watches—evidently taken by some one who had been in the bagatelle room. The prisoner keeps the Carpenter'. Arms beer-shop, High-street, West minster, and upon the day following the robbery, police constable Millermans saw the prisoner in the Broadway, along with two thieves, and showing them a watch, be followed him, and asked him what he had got? he said, "Nothing." The officer they took him in custody, and upon the way to the station he threw one watch which he had in his hand away, and tried to get rid of the other the same way, but that one the officer picked up. He struggled very violently to get away, but upon being got to the station several articles of jewellery belonging to prosecutor were found on him, also 201. in gold, besides other monies. The watch was picked up by another officer and identified by the prosecutor. Tht delence set up wa, that the things had been left at the prisoner's bar by a stranger for him to take care of. The jury found him guilty of receiving. The constable said he had been before convicted, and that his house was the regular resort of thieve'. He was transported for seven years. Jacques Maims, 31, miner, Henry Joseph, 25, florist, and Gabriel Martel, 25, comb maker, three dirty, repulsive looking Frenchmen, were indicted for cutting and wound ing Mary Ann Clancey, upon the Bth of August. The facts of the case have already been fully reported. The prosecutrix is an unfortunate female, and upon the night in question had been drinking with them. Joseph wanted to go home with her, and upon her refusing, he stabbed her in the back with a clasp knife ; and whilst she lay upon the ground Trialeuz kicked her. Joseph was convicted of unlawful wounding, and ordered to be imprisoned for twelve months, and kept t‘i hard labour. Trialeux of an assault, and sentenced to three months. Martel wu Acquitted. THE POLICE CO URTS. MANSION-HOUSE. iVilliwn Poles, cab driver, No. 6,115, was summoned before the Lord Mayor for having refused to take a fare in his hackney carriage on the 13th of August, in sing Wil liam-street. Mr. J. Haven, surgeon, said I happened to be in King William-street, on the 13th inst., and seeing the defendant's cab on the stand, I got into it, and desired him to drive to my residence in Bedford-place, Bloomsbury. The diiver said he did not mean to take me, and coolly observed that he wanted his tea. He then impudently asked mo whether I did not want mine. I determined to make him respon sible. Since the summons was obtained, the man called at my residence, expressed great contrition for his offen sive conduct, and begged to be pardoned. I enter tained no vindictive feeling towards him, but I refused to take the apology as a satisfaction, because I considered myself bound to the public to make the com plaint to your lordship. Had he told me civilly that he had been out all day and needed refreshment, 1 would willingly have taken another cab, and released him from the obligation to convey me home, but the expression of regret neaer escaped him until he found by the summons that I was is earnest. The defendant, who pleaded guilty to the charge, as sured the Lord Mayor that the fact was as he had told the gentleman, that he was in great want of refreshment at the time. The Lord Mayor—You are liable to the penalty of forty shillings for the refusal, and if the gentleman did not think proper to interfere to prevent me from giving a severe deci sion I certainly would consider myself bound to pass that judgment upon you. I call upon you to pay the fine of twenty shillings, and it you do not You that sum you shall go to prison for fourteen days. You no doubt calculated that the complainant would pave merely treated you with contempt, • sort of satisfaction which I am sorry to say too limy think sufficient. The fine was immediately paid, and at the request of Mr. Haven deposited in the poor-boa, together with the costs. Ten shilleags, the amount of a disputed account, were endoeied to the Lord Mayor for the poor-boa. Robert Greet was committed for trial for having stolen a coat, the Property of a printer named Ball, who lodged in the house with the prisoner. The prisoner was visited by a policeman while in bed, and in bis fob was found the duplicate of the coat. _ _ _ NAVAL. ADMIRALTY, ArG. 18. APPOINTMMTS. Com manders: 0. Ogle, to Arab, and R.

Thomas Hayden, a drover, of South Ockenden, was brought up on remand, charged with stealing five Scotch heifers, value 881. 16s. the property of Mr. Gco. Clark, of North Ockenden, in issex. The prosecutor havMg been sworn said—l am a butcher by trade, but I keep the White Horse in North Ockenden. On the 7th of Jul Watson,ut I bought five black poll Scotch heifers of a Mr. W at Gravesend market. I paid 171. 15s. each for them, and employed the prisoner to take them by the railway to North Woolwich, and then to walk them up to Smithfield and place them in the hands of Messrs. Walton and Eve, the salesmen, to dispose of. The prisoner returned on the following evening, and said the market was a very bad oae. Only 16/. 10s. each was offered for the beasts, and thinking they were worth more, he did not sell them, but turned them out to gazes in the Plaistow marshes, in tending to take them to Smithfield on the following market day. I told him it was wrong, as they were stalled beasts and would waste away if turned out, and the prisoner re plied that he had taken them where there was a very good feed, and if there was any charge made for them he would pay it. This was on Friday, the Bth of July, and on Wed nesday, the 13th, I saw the prisoner again, and he told me he had sold the heifers and that the money was lying at I Pocklington's bank. inquired who he got to sell the beasts, and he said it was a Mr. Playford. On Thursday, the 14th of July, I came up to London, and ascertained there was no money paid into the bank in my name or on my account. Cross-examined—A drover named Cumbers was present when I gave the prisoner instructions about the beasts. Cumbers is not a Partner of mine ; but we have been joint purchasers of cattle on several occasions. I always advanced the money, but I never got repaid except one 1101. In the present instance I bought the five heifers and gave Cum bers a 501. note, a 201. note, and the rest in sovereigns to pay for them. Mr. Walton said lam a [salesman. I never sold any beasts for Mr. Clark either on the 7th sr the Bth of July, or indeed on any other day that I recollect. I saw the prisoner on one of those days and he told me that he bought five heifers at Gravesend market for 17/. 151. each, and sold them to Mr.Playford of Diu, in Norfolk, for 181.8 s. each. On two occasions I have received beasts from the prisoner, bat 1 could not say whether they were his own property or Mr. Clark's. Mr. Watson said I am a butcher and salesman at Stroud, near Gravesend. I sold the five heifers in question to Mr. Clark, but Cumbers brought me the money. The prisoner did not buy any beasts of me. Mr. Lacy said I am a clerk in Messrs. Pocklington's bank No money has been paid in to Mr. Clark's account either on the Bth of July or since. The officer said he searched the prisoner and found on him 341. Gs. 82d. The prisoner was then remanded. MARLBORO GH- STREET. Andreas Raynatai,tlieYreaCilmaniTi;ii on Wednesday for unlawfully soliciting Prince de Joinville to conspire with bins in an attempt on the life of the Emperor Louis Napoleon, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having been found drunk in Penton-street, Haymarket, last night, and with having assaulted Andre Arnaud, a country man, who gave him into the custody of the police. As the prosecutor did not appear to press the charge, Mr. Hardwick ordered the defendant to be liberated. MARYLEBONE. A cabman named Thomas Croiwher was charged on a summons obtained &guinea him by Mr. George Scott. 52, Conduit-street, Regent-street, for not wearing his badge. Complainant deposed that on Friday evening last, about 9 o'elock, he got into defendant's cab at King s-cross, and desired to be driven to his private residence, 22, Alpha road, St. John's-wood. 'Upon arriving at his home, ho asked what the fare was, when defendant said that the dis tance was four miles. Complainant told him it was nut more than two, but as he maintained that he was right, he (complainant) held out to him in his hand some silver, desiring him to take his proper fare, and he took 2a. lie had no badge on ; and when asked for the number thereof, he reknit to give it. Complainant gave kim to under stand that he should summon him, and the reply he made wa. "You m.y suwm. ns me an I be d—d. — liefeuilant's a: ewer to the charge was that he had hit badge on, and tbat he received no more th..o ls. el, which be believed to be his proper tare. lle used no bad lan guage. tie hidno v icn. , and wris Ened lOs and c sta. . . Cousid‘Linant r,quested that what - he~was entitled to under the decision might go to the poor-box of the court. Charles Jackson, a cabman, was charged with having refused to take as Lis fare a gentleman named 31•Cortliy. Complainant's evidence was to the elect, that upon his arriving at the Great Western Railway terminus, Padding ton, he saw defendant with his vehicle, and told him to drive him to the Angel, Islington. He said that hie fare was 3s. 61. ; and when told that it was too much, he alleged that he was waiting for a gentleman, by whom he had been engaged. Defendant's answer was that Le had made no demand whatever of 3s. 6d. He was waiting for a gentleman, by whom he was employed to take him to the Minories. Other evidence was gone into, and the sUMMOLS was dig missed. MARKETS. COTTOM—LIVERPOOL, ArGrET 18.—The market clawed heavily, and prices are in the buyers' favour. Sales, 1000 bales-500 by exporters, and comprising 70 Pernams and Maranhams, Bid. to 70. ; 50 Bahia, 7d. ; 300 Egyptian, 62d. to 10d. ; 300 Surat, 3f d. to 41,1. ; 50 Sea Islands, Is, 10d. to 24 6d. MANCHESTER, ACHCST 18.—The market is very quiet, both for goods and yarns, there being very little business passing either for the home trade or for export. There is no change in prices, neither is there any pressure on the market, but every inc teems to prefer looking on to ope rating. This is partially attributable to the tightness in the money market. Home trade yarns are very scarce, hat the demand for them is not very active. The India de mand is exceedingly flat, and there is a good deal of stock offering. WOOL.—lluanroftn, Aug. 18.—There is no increased disposition to buy English Wool, and, from the high prices sought by the country dealers and growers, it would appear that they are unwilling to accept prices at which sales might be made. Fur Botany combing there has been more doing, and the market pretty well cleared. Nods and broke are without any change.—Bradford Obaerv:r. MANUFAC rt; RES. BRADFORD, Aug. 18.—Yarns : There is a fair demand for yarns, but the prices are too low to meet the price now demanded for wool ; and if the raw material cannot be had on better terms, either yarns must rise, or the production be lessened. Piece': There is a to lerably active demand, and in the warehouses, for finished good., an average business doing. The accounts from Ame rica are represented as favourable, so it is not improbable that, era long, we may again be busy for that market.— Bradford 06serrer. CORN.-11ntwitionsal, AVGE6T 18.-At Gloucester market, on the 13th, English wheat was 21. per qr. lower, and foreign declined ls. per qr.: at Worcester, the same day, English gave way 2s. to 35., and foreign Is. to 2s. per qr. Barley unaltered, with some inquiry for good qualities. Irish oats Gd. per qr. cheaper. On beans the turn was in favour of the buyer. Peas nominally unaltered. During the present week, the weather having become unsettled and rainy, we have more firmness in the wheat trade, and the tales made are at fully previous currency. Barley quite as dear, and good grinding scarce. Oats Gd. to lo per qr. lower, but this does not extend to Dutch or English. Beans and peas taken in retail, at former prices. At this day's market there was a fair supply of wheat, which sold readily at the currency of this day se'nnight. Barley less in re quest, and rather cheaper. Irish oats 61. to Is. per qr. lower, but Dutch and English were quite as dear. Beans and peas maintained their value, with a slow sale for both. BRISTOL, ALTOEST 18.-The weather has again been very unsettled, producing a firmer feeling as to future prices of wheat, yet on English we must note a further decline in the week of about 2s. per qr. ; foreign remaining nearly as before, but with limited sales. Flour Is. per sack lower. Barley in more request, at an advance of Gd. p er qr . O a t s , including new, Gd. to Is. per qr. lower. Beans cheaper. DEVIZES, Aug. 18.-We bad a large supply of Wheat for the time of year, and it was the best selling market we have had for some time. There were several new buyers from Bath and Bristol, and a brisk trade was done, last week's prices being fully maintained, and in some instances an ad vance on them being established : a good clearance was made. There were three lots of new Wheat pitched ; one of white Talavera, of very superior quality, was sold for 295. a sack ; the other two were red Wheat, and were sold at 264.

NEWARK, Aug. 17.-At our market to-day the attend ance was but small, owing mainly to the very unfavour able weather during the past night and this morning, rain having fallen for upwards of thirteen hours. Very little business was done in the Corn trade, nor was there any perceptible variation in price from last week's report. Two samples of new Wheat were shown but remained unsold. Ha operations are becoming general in this district, and it is hoped the produce will be good. Averages: Wheat, white, from 565. to 58s. ; red, 525. to 635. Bar ley, grinding, 30s. to 31s. per 30 stones. Oats, 245. to 255. per 24 stone. Beans, 445. to 4,55. per 38 stone.

WATERFORD, Aug. 17.-Without any arrivals of foreign ' grain since Saturday, our market has been exceedingly quiet for every article in the trade at the currency of last week. Prices, however, are pretty well maintained, and holders in general look forward to any early improvement. CATTLE.—NEWARK FORTNIGHTLY MARKET, Aug. 16 —There was a large show of stack this morning, and many sales were made. Prices about the same. There were 661 Sheep and 78 Beasts penned. Nzwastx, Aug. 17.—At market to-day there was a large attendance, on account of the wet weather. There was also a great quantity of stock in the market. A fair business was transacted, at prices equal to those of last week. 379 Sheep, 134 Beasts, and 77 1 were penned. EDINBURGH, Aug. 17.—The number of Cattle in the market this morning was 345, or 11 less than on this day week. The quality was still inferior, and prices were about 3d. per Dutch stone lower. Extreme top Price of the best Beef, 9s. ; current top price, Bs. 61 ; current price, 7s. 6d. to Bs. ; middling and inferior sorts, from 61. Gd. to 7s. per Dutch stone.

(From De (ardortes Mercantile latellipeneer.) KINOOTON, JAMAICA, JULY 26, 1853. Our market has been rather quiet than otherwise during the fortnight, very little speculative inquiry having been manifested. Indeed, with the exception of operations in flour and pork, trade has been almost entirely confined within the ordicary limits. The intelligence brought by the packet on Saturday and the prospect which it holds out of an early resumption of business by the legislature is, however, likely soon to give an impetus to business, inas much as speculators, looking to the probable re-imposition of im ,, ort duties within a few weeks, will come forward more confidently. Supt lies generally are very ample. In the produce market we notice a considerable rise in the value of sugar, particularly of the lower qualities, conse quent on the small stock in factors' hands. Holders of rum, of which there is a large quantity of the duty free article in the market, evince no desire to press their supplies on the trade. It is yet too early to expect any coffee or pimento at market, or to offer any positive opinion as to the extent of the coming crops. Some rumours have reached us of the unsatisfactory appearance of the pimento trees in the principal districts, but we do not vouch for their correct ness. The first shipment, of any importance, of copper ore from Jamaica was made last week. The schooner Lile has taken away 80 tons from the Metcalfe (Job's-hill) mines. Bitasifv.—The importations continue on large scale, but the receipts of inferior descriptions greatly exceed those of favourite marks. The market is consequently largely over stocked with the former, for the best of which nothing over Ba. petegallon can be obtained. Martell's and Hennessey's command lls. 6d. per gallon. CuaN.-200 sacks Mew Orleans have been moved at 3s. 3il. per bushel. Another parcel of 500 bags was placed at 31. There is not any South American in first hands. Fitestaftra.—A vessel has been taken up to load here and at an outnort for London, and to sail on the 10th or 15th August, at 4s. per cwt. far sugar, sd. per gallon for rum. Another for Liverpool, to sail at the same date, has been also chartered at 3s. 6d. for sugar. 11, N.—No sales of any importance have transpired. In tact, holders do not seem anxious to press their stocks on the market. The quantity now on hand is estimated at something like 000 puncheons, almost the whole of which has come in since the lapse of the limm Duty Bill. EXCIIANOEB.—Oa London.
