Revise laid in a stock of provisions they, in company with Richard Roberts, the owner of the boat, sailed from Millie, on Sunday, the 9th inst., at G a.m. They reached the Start about 11 o'clock the sense morning, and arrived at Guernsey in the afternoon of the following day, wile's they were becalmed. Their arrival at that place , was welcomed by • large number of persons, who expressed astonishment at their perilous undertaking, On Tues day morning. at eight o clock, the little party . set sa il for Jersey, which place they safely reached early in the after noon. They remained on the island until the following Friday morning, when the White Horse 'gale got under weigh for the homeward voyage. The boat bad been at sea several hours when very rough weather set in, end she wee driven from her course. The gallant trio, how ever, made Selcombe in 24 hours after leaving Jersey. The gentlemen, finding their voyage somewhat weariso me, . landed in Saloomhe harbour, end proceeded vii Kingsbridge to Plymouth by train. In COLSIXIMOOIII of oottrary winds the waterman was obliged to remain at Seloomhe for two days. On Tuesday morning last there was still a strong breeze blowing from the north-west ; but being tired of waiting. Roberts resolved to set out for Plymouth that day. He accordingly did so, but the roughness of the weather sem after carried away the sprit of his boat. No other damage was occasioned, however, sod he arrived safely in Plymouth Sound is the afternoon.

(Won Mr. Duos Bramwell sad a ElpsaislJarY.) WOOLLEY y. POLL--IXTRAM!DINART TRIAL. This van an action to recover 4,0001. from the Sue Fire office upon a policy of aseuranos evilest fire effected in that The defendants plaided several plea, but only two of them were material, and they involved a question of very considerable importance, as by one of them the plsintiff IMO alleged to have made a henduleut claim le respect of the property that was represented to bare been destroyed, a i i:d .d hy the other be wee charged with having wilfully n the fire that wee the subject of the ioquiry. Mr. %will, Q.C., Sarjeant Ballentine, Mr. Mereweether, and Mr. H. James (these gentlemen being specially retained), and Mr. Boeher were counsel for the plaintiff ; Yr. Lush, Q.C., e the Cl. Denman. Q.C., and Mr. Garth were connd for the definalants. _ _ — This ceass sweated • gord deal of interest, on account of the amount at stake in the inquiry, which is altogether nearly 30,0001., and also on amount of the pleas which the delsodsats had felt themselves justified in placing upon the record.. _ _ _ As the case was expected to last for several days, the gentlemen who bad been summoned to serve on the special Tory wen very anxious to be excused from being sworn, Bramwell excused some of them, end even tually the learned counsel on both sides agreed that the case should be tried by ten jurymen only. A very well executed model of the premier was planed upon the counsel's table to enable the jury mote easily to nodeiatand the points in the case. Mr. Bovill, in opening the case to the jury, said that they were about to enter into an inquiry of a very long and troublesome description, but when they reflected upon the nature of the very serious character of the imputations that were cast upon the plaintiff, be was sure they would not consider any amount of time ill bestowed in much au in vestigation. Me object of the present action was to recover the sum of 4,0001. upon • policy of insurance against fire effected by the plaintiff, and when they considered the ' nature of the issues that were raised by the company, they would see that it was impossible for the plaintiff to remain under such imputations for a single moment longer than was absolutely necesuiy, and the outs bad therefore been seat down for trial at these assizes. The plaintiff bad m elded for • greet many years at Camden-house, Kensington, which war represented by the model that was upon the table, and those gentlemen of the jury who looked at this model, and who had teen the extent of the reins, would be able to form a very good idea of the character of the buildings. As he had before stated, the plaintiff had resided at Ounden-hones slue the year 1847, and down to the snowing of Sunday, the red of Marsh, 1862, on which day th e whole of the premises, with the exception of some of the outbuildings, sod ' they contaieed, were entirely consumed by fire. U question to be decided merely had bees hi reference to the insurance for 4,0001, it would not have occupied an hour in being disposed of ; but he was booed to tell them that beside' this policy for 4,0001. upon which the present action was tempt, other insurances had been affected that altogether amounted to 29,0001. This suns m igh t appear to be a large one, but he believed he should be able to satisfy them that, large as it was, it would be utterly iesuffieient to restore the building and its content, to its former position. The learned counsel then went on to explain that the policy for 4,0001. now claimed upon, was effected on the 16th of August, 1855, in the Seta office; in 1859 another in lay's°, was effected in the same office for 8,0011/. ; and anotberpolicy for 2,0001. was effected in the Hand in Hand, making the total sum for which the building aloe* was in sured, 12,0001. Another policy was effected subsequently upon the fixtures sad fittings, In the Sam for 4,000/., and in the Bead in Hand for 3,000!. A policy for 6.000!. was also effected with the Sam upon boasehold china, glass, he., and also • policy for 5,0001. was affected with the Atlas upon pictures ; so that the whole sum that was undoubtedly involved in the iaquiry was nearly 30.0001. He bad informed them that the ire took place in March, 1862, and the whole of the building and its contents were e ntirely destroyed, and in doe course the usual application was made to the insurance offices with which policies bad been affected. The first dispute that would seem to have arisen between the parties was with regard to the policy upon the furniture. and an action having referent* to that subject was set down for trial in Loaders ; bat owing to the of busies= in the courts of law there, it was pease d that it could ant be tried, and it was therefore arranged that the present action should first be disposed of, as Mr. Woolley was determined not to rest under the im putations that were cast upon him • single moment longer than was absolutely necessary. The defendants, as they had heard, had placed several plug upon the record, but it was impossible not to see that the real ground of defence was, that the plaintiff had calmed the destruction of the building and the property contained in it by his own wilful act. The - amount for which the building was Insured was 12,0001., and to any one at all acquainted with the nature of building operations be said that with reference to this part of the case, it was obvious that this sum would he totally insuffi cient to rebuild such extensive premises, and indeed, he did not believe that any dispute occurred betimes the sun urn of the plaintiff sad those appointed by the company upon the point, but, on the oontrary, he believed that the surveyors had arranged plus for the rirerectioe of the home at the time the transactions occurred that had led to this action being brought. It appeared that the first , subject of discussion was as to the contents of the mansion and the value of those contents, and the companies insisted upon having the most minute information in reference to this subject. Some delay was occasioned in giving this in formation, from the fact that Mr. Woolley. who narrowly escaped with his life at the time the fire broke out, was ill, and coaseqtmotly unable to give them information, and when this information was completed, he jury would be able to form some idea as to the extent of the property by the fact that the inventory filled a volume of considerable size, and it contained • thousand items. The learned coun sel went on to say that while these discussions were going on upon the subject of the furniture, it appeared that some rumours had got afloat about the fire, end these rumours at last got to the ears of the insurance companies, and they, and other per moue, some of whom be believed thought that it was impos sible for any fire to be accidental, at once jumped to the conclusion that this fire at Camden-house had been caused wilfully. The result of this was that the plaintiff was re quired to give • full account with regard to the furniture and where it was bought, and what price was given for it. He was unable to give complete &newer, to these enquiries, for the reason that • great deal of the furniture eoseisted of old and rare articles, • great many of which had been par. chased abroad, and at every place where old and valuable curiosities could be obtained. The plaintiff, however, did give them all the information in his power ; he allowed them to examine his servants ; nothing was conosaled ; end after all this the insurance companies turned round upon the plaintiff and said that the whole transaction was a fraud on his part, and that he had wilfully destroyed the property ; and upon these grounds they came forward and defended the present action. It was imporlle to conceive that • more serious charge than this could be made against any man, and it was one for which only • few years ego his life might have been forfeited ; and this being the case, the jury could easily conceive what the feelings of Mr. Woolley must be at having such • charge made against him, and could understand his determination to have the matter fully investigated at the earliest possible momenta If there had really been any foundation for such • serious charge against the plaintiff, it would have been their duty, as it appeared to him, to have hal the matter investigated by a magistrate, but they had not done so, and down to the present mo ment the plaintiff was utterly ignorant of the grounds upon which the Son Fire Insurance Office and the other com panies, who were, no doubt, all acting in concert, felt them selves justified in bringing forward this eerie= charge. The plaintiff, Mr. Woolley, would be called before them. He was told that be was to be cross-examined upon every incident of his life; bat he would be placed in the box, and would fearlessly face • cross.examination with which he was threatened. He had not at this moment the slightest notion what the circumstances were upon which the charge that was made against him was founded. They did know that the defendants had made inquiries in every direction, and one of these inquiries, be believed, was whether Mr. Woolley was in the habit of sleeping is • night shirt. (A laugh.) He believed that in the hurry of escaping from the fire Mr. Woolley did put on a dayahin, 'ad this was one of the points, so far as he could learn. upon which the charge of arson was to be supported, and if this should prove to be the case it would only show what miserable ex ped lents the defendaets were compelled to resort to. He would observe at this part of the case that ten months were suffered to elapse after the fire before the slightest hint was given of any suspicion beim& entertained that the fire was other than accidental, and it was not until the plaintiff had expressed • detennina lion to enforce the policies that he was met by the charge that he bad wilfully caused the destruction of the property. The learned counsel then proceeded to inform the jury that Camden house, the place is question, as they were probably aware, was a very old mantic.., built more than two cen turies ago. It was formerly occupied by Lord Camden. The "Merry Monarch" had held some of his revels there, sod it had alum, several otheroocuiona bed the honour of enter !sluing royalty. The plaintiff, after he became pareesed of it, took a pride in fitti ng it o p i n th e mat splendid and magnificent manner. There was a theatre attached to the building, which was dedicated to the purposes of amateur performances and concerti; and be might state that the whole of the proceed* were devoted to charitable p and that between 3,010. and 4.0001. had been ex u ed in this manner. The place was go beautifully fitted up, and con tained so many rare and extraordinary articles of art and vertu, that it was considered a most interesting exhibition. . and it was visited by persons of the highest rank and statics, many of whom were induced to take drawings of some of the more remarkable turtle's' of it. (The learned contused here exhibited to the jury • number of the draw. ' logs to which he referred.) He then said the jury would be enabled to judge from these drawings what the character of the building and its decorations really were, and they would at the earns time be able to form their owe cooolu ' sions as to whether the amount for which the property was insured we an Onftillediehie. or as eXerefegnee on. The fact was that it was Mr. Woolley's hobby, or if they liked , to term It so, his folly to decorate this place in the meet ' extravagant and gorgeous manner, and his brother-is-law, Captain Cope. and his sister, seemed also actuated by the Sense views. He might mention, u an instance of the lengths to which Mr. Woolley went to gratify his feelings in this re spect, that apes one coreehre, beraidefirom to parches, woe rvvi. I No, AUGUST 26. 1863. ra* carries work that was in au old farmhouse in Essex, and finding that the owner would not allow it to be removed. I I be actually bought the estate, in order that be might ob tain possession of it, and haring done so, it was taken out and pieced among the other curiosities in Camden-bouee. In feet be was justified in saying that Mr. Woolley was • very extraordinary man. Although perused of consider able wealth, he kept no borer or carriages, and even the servants, who were dressed up in silver and bine livery on great occasions, were not his own servants, but waiters and hirsons who were living in the neighbourhood, who were red for the purpose. In fact be spent all the money be could get in beantifyiog and decorating Camden-house in the way he bad stated, and had borrowed • large sum of money of hie brother and sister-M.la,, upon mortgage of the property, the whole of which was devoted to the ptir poem be had alluded to. The learned counsel then proceeded to state that it appeared that in November of 1861 Mr. Woolley took a house at Brighton, and he believed an attempt would be made to show that be had removed a portion of the property from Camden-house to Brighton, but he should be able to prove to them by the most satisfac tory evidence that there was not the slightest foundation for this suggestion. With regard to the supposition that the property had been destroyed wilfully be should be in • position to prove that although the amount of insuruce that was effected was certainly very considerable, still that in point of fact if the whole sum were paid the plaintiff would in reality obtain little or no benefit, for the 12,0004 for which the baildiog was insured would not cover the ex pense of its re-erection, and nearly the whole of the re mainder would go to the mortgagees. He might also state that the surveyors of the fire offices had had the fullest op portunity for looking over the property and ascertaining its value, and that they took pretty good care of their own in terest In the matter by declining to take the risk except upon a doubly haaardoto premium, which was 4e. 6d. per tent, and the amount of the annual premium was 1301. Mr. Bovill next proceeded to state that the plaintiff had at one period occupied Tunbridge Castle, and during his absence his wife was unfortunately drowsed. It was I supposed that she was feeding the swans, and that she fell into the water ; but it was never known bow the accident actually happened. To show ' however, the course that had been taken with regard to the plaintiff acid the un founded assertions that were made respecting him. he might state that " they " had actually circulated a report, founded upon the fact to which he bad alluded, that Mr. Woolley bad murdered his wife. Mr. Lush said be did Dot know who his learned friend meant by " they," but on the part of the defendanta be most positively denied that they were any parties to such a sugges tion. Mr. Banll said that the statement bad come round to them, and the plaintiff was well aware of the soma from which it emanated. He then proceeded to give a detail of the carcuestuces under which the fire occurred. The per sons in the house at the time were Mr. Woolley, his butler Cruder, and a man named Temple, and his wife and son. Mr. Woolley Wept in one portion of the house, and his butler oc c upied • room not fu from it. He was awoke by some now, and epos his opening hie bed-room door he toned the house was is flamed. He awoke his butler, and he at first attempted to give an alarm to the men Temple and his family, but the fire prevented himfrom doing so, and be and Crosier were compelled to make their escape by • back stairoue. They then proceeded to give the alarm to the other inmates of the house, and Mrs. Temple in her fright jumped out of the window, and was seriously injured, and her husband and son got out from the burning mansion by means of the fire escape. Mr. Woolley had nothing on at this time but his shirt, and be was removed to a neighbouring house, and is consequence of his exposure to the cold and wet—for it was raining at Mistime the fire happened—be was rendered seriously ill, and this to • certain extent prevented him from giving the information that was required by the insurance companies so quickly as they wished it. Baron Bramwell asked the learned counsel whether he intended to give the jury any information with regard to the origin of the fire. Mr. IBovill said they bad no information whatever upon the subject ; all they knew we that no one was in the house but the persons be had mentioned but the man Temple had stated that on the evening previous to the fire he had been mimed in frying sausages in what was called the green-room of the theatre, for his supper. and this might account for the fire, as the flue of the chimney of that room communicated with • beam that had been found to be on fire on • previous oocsaioo. In these old houses, however, it was very difficult to tell how • fire happened, and be was not in a position to give the jury any further information as to how the fire in question originated. He added that the whole family were examined ; everybody about the premises was subjected to a searching inquiry by persons connected with the insurance companies, and he submitted, therefore, that if there bad really been any ground for supposing that Mr. Woolley bad been guilty of the serious crime imputed to him, the course they should have adopted would have been to have given him into custody, or have had the matter fully investigated by a malistrate. They bad not ventured to do this, and it was clear, in Us opinion, that having got hold, by some means or other, of the knowledge of some circumstances which in their opinion amounted to something like suspicion, they had resolved woo defending the present action in the hope that they might induce the jury to give them • verdict. The learned counsel then proceeded to narrate some of the other circumstances he proposed to give in evidence, and coo- chided a mom clear and able speech, by observing that the . on issue the jury had to decide was whether the plainti ff , without the slightest motive, had wilfully destroyed that property which it appeared to have been the sole object of ilde to obtain possession of. The following evidence was then adduced : Ides Anne Barker said—l am the sister of the late Sir George Barker, and I am acquainted with the plaintiff, and became so shortly after the death of his first wife, in the winter of 1859. Mee Cope, the sister-M. law of the plaintiff. and her brother, Captain Cope, were living with Mr. Woolley. I had Ward that some drawings of portions of Camden .house had been takes and sold for cbari table purposes, and ! myself made nomedrawiep which were sold for theseme purposes. Some of the drawings that have been produced were made by me, and some by Lady Belcher. Very little furniture appears in my drawings, and my meson for leaving out the furniture from them was, that the drawing would less appeared confused if the furniture had been introduced. For the same :sewn I left out chandeliers and vases in some of the drawings. I was well acquainted with the home, sod it was so extremely beautiful that it was a pleasure to go over it. There was • large quantity of statues, pictures, lied beautiful carving and gildrog all over the house. The • were also a number of old pictures, and a great many more in wools in the drawing-room and library. The furniture wee very rich, and all in character with the &moralities of the house. There was • great deal of very rare and valuable embroidery in some of the rooms, and the carpets were also of • most valuable descriptioo. There was • theatre at the back of the house. I played there • great many times; the performances were amateur, and were got up for pis of charity. The lint I played at was got up by Lord Benham. Upon one omission MM. was re ceived, which was devoted to charitable purposes, the pro oseds of one performance being givers to the Warehousemen and Clerks' School. There was plenty of scenery for the purposes of an amateur theatre. Mr. Woolley took very great interest in his house. I never maw any one take so much interest in an establishment. It was all the amuse ment be appeared to have, and he and Miss Cope were cos. staidly engaged in makingalteratioue in the different rooms. There was no alteration in the furniture or anything else at the time the fire happened. lam quite mire that none of the furniture that was in Mr. Woolley's house at Brighton hod been brought from Camden-house. There were two very large looking-glues in the ball-room and the drawing room. There was a profusion of valuable looking-claws all over the home. I last saw Camden-house in November, and at that time I did sot men anything. Cross-examined—lf the large glees in the drawiog•room bad been removed it would have been missed immediately. I first went to Camden-hones about three or four years uo. Everybody who went there was always shown all over the house ;at 'alit into all the showrooms. I was introduced to Mr. Woolley by Mn. Milner Gibson. In the year letil I was constantly at Camdemhouse. A great many of the pictures were portraits. They consisted of portrait, of saints, Madonnas, and holy families. I should think there were three hundred pictures altogether. I think that the chandeliers in the drawing-room were intended for candles. I have seen u many as five hundred persons present at moms of the parties that were given at Camden-house. The guests bad supper, wine, and the usual refreshment.. The season at Camden-hones lasted as long as the London season, but it was of no use to give parties when there was no one to go to them. I was aware that Mr. Woolley was in town at the time the fire happened, but I did not see him at Camden-house. I met him at Mrs. Mlloar ()themes three or four days before the fire happened, and he told me he was only going to stop in town a few days. It bad been arranged that there should be an amateur per formance at the time the fire took place. I knew Crozier, the butler, as one of the servants of the family. Re-exarnined—Mr. Woolley's sight is very had, and he is obliged to hays some one to accompany ham when he goes out after dunk. Lady Belcher said—l have been aNuainted with Mr. Woolley since 1848, and I knew his wife before she waa mar ried to him. I was is the habit of going to Camden-house down to the period of the Bre, sod I concur iu what was Mated by Mims Barker as to the character of the furniture sad the decorations. The house was crowded with (oral tare. Some of the pictures were very good, particularly the portraits, and many of them were by old Italian masters. Lady Belcher then identified some drawings of different portions of the musical as copies of drawings she had her self made, and said that they were quite correct. Croerexamined —The pictures I oonsidered the most valu able were those by the old masters, and there were, per haps, about twenty of them. I beard Mr. Woolley say that he brought some of these pictures from Florence. Kr Jobs Burgoyne said—l am a general officer is the army and Inspector of Epitomes. I have known the plain tiff. and have been on what I call terms of friendly intimacy with him for a great many years. I have been frequently to Camden-house, and I agree with the two last witnesses that it was meet magnificently furnished. It appeared to he quite a mania on: • the part of Mr. Woolley to have everything in his house of the most richerchi chancier. Everything wee meet beautiful. . . . . CrOss.elaminsd—l have been to the theatrical perform ances at Can.des-house on several amnions. Coast Helier de Wools° said—l have brown Mr. Woolley eleven or twelve years, sad I have stayed at Camdea•hoose oa several oacarioas. I apes with the last witness= as to the insprificoot obirasator of the furniture. I ranorabor 11r. Woolley going to Brighton in November, 1861. At that time there was no &thrums in the state of the furni ture. Mr. Woolley was to have breakfaated with me on the morning after the fire, but I received • letter from him, and taw him the same morning at Dr. Hamilton's, io Graftonotrest, and that gentleman wan attending him. He appeared to be very ill. Cross-examined—l was at Camden-house three or four' days before the fire. I only saw Temple. the man who had the charge of the house. Mr. Woolley was not at home. It I maw Mr. Woolley at Dr. Mimi!. ton's he appeared in • very excited state. Colonel Alexander Macdonald said—l have known Mr. Woolley eight or ten years, and I frequotly used to go to Carodon•house formerly, but I have not done so for the last two years because I have been abroad. Everything in the house gave one an idea that they were articles of great rarity and value. There was an abundanee of furniture, in fact, the house appeared to be crowded. One or two other witnesses were examined, who gave evi dence to the Mlle effect, and the court lien adjourned. THE POLICE COURT& GUILDHALL. GemDe *lama LangkV, an omnibus driver, in the employ of Mr. Edwards, was brought up on remand charged with causing the death of Charles Thomas Fox, a conductor in the service of the General Omnibus Company, in Holborn. Mr. Beard, on the part of the defendant, expressed a desire that the marl might be sent to the amnions, to which no objection having been made, The witnesses who had given evidence in the came before Alderman Allen were then bound over in the usual non mizancee to appear and give evidence. MARLBOROUGH STREET. A food-looking, well-dreseed young female applied to Mr. Tyrwhttt for his advent under the following oireutn steam : The applicant (in an undertone) said that for the past two years she had kept company with a young man who had " vowed to marry her," and things went on pretty well till last Sunday evening, when she met the young man walking with another girl. Some words ensued, and the young man said, notwi th standing his vows, tha: he should have nothing further to say to her. In consequence of the young man's promising to many her—in fact, the marriage eereroony was fined totake plans doling the present month— she had left her situation, and made preparations necessary for snob an occasion. She therefore wished to know what she wee to do. Mr. Tyrerbitt said he could do nothing for the applicent, but she had better consult a solicitor and bring an action for a breach of promise of marriage. The applicant thanked the magistrate for his advice, and left seemingly pleased having an opportunity of being re venged on her fickle lover. Le MBETIf. Maryaret Neale ' a well.dreseed young female, who refused to give her addres s, was charged before Mr. Elliott with attempting to Meal a boodle containing eight pairs of trousers from the 'Mop of Mr. William Hurfook. James Haas. a detective *Meer belonging to the P dirt don of police, No. 320, said that on the evening before, while peening aka* the Walworth•road, he sew the pri mmer standing is frost of the prosecutor's shop, and, observing her fem. and having some knowledge of it, he determined to watch her. He had not been doing so more than a moment or two when be saw her get hold of a bundle of trousers banging up at the door, sad make two or three attempts to remove the string from an iron bolt to which it was attached. He (wit sass) walked behind her, shoved her into the shop and charged her with attempting to steal the bindle oetrou. sere, when elm replied, 'Oh dear no, I never thought of such a thing." William Cavanagh, shopboy to the prosecutor, said that on the bundle of trousers after the prisoner had been pushed into his master's shop he found them in a dif ferent position from that in which they, a short time before, were placed, and it was evident that an effort had been made to break away or remove the string. Mr. Elliott—ls the priaoser known? It appears to me that she has bees charged here before. Police-conetable Pike, 95 L—Yee, your worship.

STRATFORD-ON-AVON RAILWAY. The report of the directors states that the amount payable to the Great Western Railway Company, in respect of uncompleted weeks, ►nd the cost of the lunatics and sidinp at Hatton has been arranged, and charged I. the accounts for the peat half-year. All other amounts now due on account of construction, which can be ascertained, have also been included, and the directors consider that 500/. will be amply sufficient to meet any future claims, until the time arrives for making the fork line at Hance (whenever the receipts from tralbc amount to 25f. per mile per neck), and the completion of the purchase from the corporation of Stratford•on-Avon of hod, taken for the purpo a of forming the junction of Stratford-cm-Avon with the West Midland Railway. In the amount of 5004 abovs•meotioned is included a portion of the coat of a telegraph between Hatton and Stratford on-Avon, which is now nece•ry to enable the Great Western Company properly to conduct the traffic: two thuds of the out have to be defrayed by the Stratford-on- Avon Company and one-third by the Great Western Company, and the whole of the receipts analog from messages sent by the public are to be pieced to the credit of the Stratford-on-Avon Company. At the termination of the working arrangement the Stratford-on-Avon Com pany will bare to pay the amount advanced by the Great Western Company, that company maintaining the tele graph. The supplemental agreement with the Great Western Company has been completed, and it is satisfactoorryy to report that the increase of traffic during the past ha year lose principally arisen from through traffic brought upon the line u contemplated by such agreement. The amalg►mation of the Great Western and West Midland Companies has been sanctioned by Parliament, and takes effect from the let of the prosiest month, and at the same time the agreements (which have also been sanctioned by Parliament) between those amalgamated companies and the Midland and London and North•Wes j tern Companies come into operation. By these agree meats routes for traffic h►ve been defined, sad sidings and junctions are to be made at Leamington, Banbury, and Oxford ; and the directors feel assured that from the natural position of your railway, and the lines tot railway on either aide being under ou system of management, • further increase of traffic, arising from the stations on the amalgamated system of the Great Western Railway, as well as to and from the east and west. may be fairly relied upon. On reference to the accounts sad the comparative statement of traffic, interest., and expellees. it will be sees that there has been an increase in the traffic of 417 f., and • set in crease of 169 f. upon the past half-year as compared with the correspoodieg half year of 1862. The balsams to the credit of the revenue, after paving all charges, amounts to 3751. 9s. 3d., which would permit of • dividend being declared at the rate of 2s. 3d. per share on the ordinary shares • but the directors recommend that the declaration of a dividend may be postponed until the next half-yearly meeting. IRISH NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY. The report of the directors shows the gross receipts for the past half.year amount to the 811/21 of 45,7191. 64., as against the nun of 46,1791. 16s. 114. for the coerespooding half-year ending 30th Juno, 1862 ; a decrease on the receipts amaantag to the slim of 420 i. 10a Ild., has, therefore, takes place. The balance available for dividend, as shown by the accounts', only amounts to 7701. 9e. 5d., and the directors, therefore, regret that they do not feel themselves in a position to recommend the payment of any dividend on the present occasion. This sum will be added to the Wanes of 4,9781. 16e. 3d. in favour of re venue et the end of the preceding half year, making a total of 5,748/. lfie.

MANCHESTER, SHRTFIRLD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAiLWLT.—The total expenses of this company's railways, including rents, tolls, duty, &0., from July 1 to August 16, 1863, amounted to 42,217/., as against 42,4541. for the corresponding period of 1862. The proportion of the South Junction receipts accruing to this company from July 1 to August 16 amounted to 4,8111., as against 4,4164 for the corresponding period of 1662, and the ex penses to 1,7961., as against NORTH AND SOUTH \YR./TERN JUNCTION RAIL WAT.—This ordinary half-year y meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Euston Station. Mr. Henry Tootal in the chair. Mr. Mansell, the secretary, having read the report, which him already beau published, the chairman, in moving its adoptieo, congratulated the 'Wins holders upon the position of the undertaking. The traffic was increasingly progressive, and all circumstances tended to show the stability of the line. The workings expenses had been slightly increased from the necessity for placing the permanent way under repairs, it hark.' bean in constant use for nearly twelve years, and there had been some special expenditure in enlarging the station accommodation at Ac ton, ;blowing two bridges over the Great Western line, and erecting additional signals at the junction, but he thought the money had been well laid out, as all chances of accident were much lessened by the alterations. Having referred at some length to minas items in the accounts, he concluded by expreasing his entire satisfaction at the result of the working operations of the line for the past half-year, by which the directors were enabled to pay a dividend of 5 per cent. fairly out of the earnings, more than many lines with much greater pretensions were capable of doing. Mr. Mangles seconded the adoption of the report, which after a brief 4:Damsons was agreed to ; and a divi dend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum was declared payable on the 28th last.
