The CHAIRMLN in moving the adoption of the rePortr observed that there wav very little difference between the earnings of 1862 and 1861, but on the other hand the ex• pewee showed an increase, principally in wages, of about 5,0001. Seven thoussod more tone of good" were landed, and that accounted at once for the rise in wages. Moreover, they had been obliged toeless all their good; aid that of coarse involved considerable expense. Another item of increase was rates, the charge being 3,000/. odd more than in 1861. There was a thither increase of 1,70 W. in interest, arising from the renewal of debentures at 4 and 4 instead 3j and 31 per cent. As regarded the sum of B,IOW. he had referred to the necessity of such an outlay on pre- Viooll occasions. Had it not taken place, a greeter expense would have arisen from the 0011111300. The rest had bad the benefit of the long delay of 33 yeah, and the board therefore considered it only fair that the rest should bear the burden. There was an evident increase of business ; and although there had been no increase of earnngs, it was not owing to any neglect on the part either of the board or the officers. Reference had been made before to some arrangement by which two or three cloak cowpoke might work together. Several conferences had taken place on the subject. They had first to deal with the London Dock Board, and they had brought all the points to • successful issue except one. The proprietor, might rely upon it that no arrangement would be entered into which was not fair to that company. (Hear, hear.) The report was adopted, end the dividend recommended was declared. 17&:17Cri a sarzii.7. 1 mew N. I; lli as Pr I 8 Ms 4 v. l a. Deiklaiiidt._. — .7. - .: Dolma at rasa ed.

The facts are briefly these :—Yesterday afternoon, a poliosoonstable named Davey, of the T Division, while on duty in the neighbourhood of Acton, met two brothers, named respectively Isaac and Jobs Brooke, the first a bricklayer, and the latter a labourer, laden with • quantity of fence palings which they had broken down and stolen. He appears to have stopped them, and made them put down their spoil, but unfortunately not to have then arrested them, probably being unable to do eo single handed. He reported the circumstance to the inspector, telling him where the Brooks's lived, and it was arranged that after Davey bad eaten his supper be and the inspector should together apprehend the brothers. Davey went to No. 1, Pemberton vil/as, a house of which he had charge for a gentleman, sad was in the act of taking supper when a loud knock was heard at the door. Mrs. Davey opened the door, when a abuse man, with a gas in hie hand, said, "Is Davey within?' She replied in the affirmative, and called her husband. The moment Davey came to the door the man deliberately presented the gun at him and fired, blowing the roof of his head completely off. The blood and brains of the unfortunate man were splaahed over his wife, who was standing at his side. He of course fell instantly dead. The murderer made off and Mrs. Davey was rendered too bubo to follow him. Owing to the dark:nem she could not recognise the dastardly mandrel, bat she states.that she oan swear to his voioe. The three inspectors of the division initially made every inquiry over the district, and they learned that one of the Brookes. had been seen with a gun within 30 yards of Pemberton-villas, just before the murder, and that both brothers had been seen together immediately before. This morning Inspectors Scott and Searle went to the boom where the brothers lira and ordered them to get up, making Isaac if he had any fireorms. The man replied that he never had any ; but the inspector, on pulling up the mattress, found a gun which had only been recently diacharipd. Both men were conveyed to Hammersmith, where they will undergo examination this afternoon. The unfortunate dowsed had been twelve years in the lone, and sever had a single report made against him. He was a particularly mild and inoffensive man. The business of the Bathgate Town Council wee interrupted au Thursday night, by a myeloid Millie, who nog the whole of the members out of the room.

That which had so long veiled hie cleverness Ism the' knowledge of mankind wee the repulsive oaten of the science at which he laboured. Man morn be. fore him had suffered themselves to bring craft into politics. Many more, toiling in humbler grades, had applied their cunning skill to the conflicts which engage courts of law ; but no living man, perhaps, except Prime Louis Bonaparte, had pared the hours of a studious youth, and the prime of • thoughtful manhood, in contriving how to apply stratagem to the science of jurisprudence. It was not, perhaps, from natural basemen that his mind took this bent. The inclination to sit sad sit pleasing for the attainment of some object of desire—this indeed wee his nature ; but the inclination to labour at the task of makiog law an engine of deceit, this did not coins per force with his I blood. Yet it came with his parentage. . . For years the prince pureed his strange calling, and by the time his studies were over, he had become highly skilled. Long before the moment had come for bringing his crooked science into use, he had learnt how to frame a constitution which should seem to enact one thing and really enact another. He knew bow to put the word " jury" io law, which robbed ma of their freedom. He could set the snare which he called "universal suffrage." He knew how to strangle a nation in the night time with • thing he called a " Plebi scite." who speak of him sa void of all idea of truth. He understood truth, and is eoeversation he habitually preferred it to falsehood, bit hie truthfulness (though not perhaps costrive4 for such an sod) sometimes became a menus of deception beelines after generating conadeoce it would suddenly br eak down under the pressure of a strong motive. He could maintain friendly relations with a man, awl speak frankly and truthfully to him for seven years, sod then suddenly deceive him. Of course men findiag themselves ensnared by what appeared to be honesty in his eliameter, were naturally inclined to believe that every semblance of a good quality was • mask ; but it is more onnsistent with the principles of human nature to believe that a truthfulaess continuing seven years was a genuine remnant of virtue, than that it was a mere preparation for falsehood. Hu doubting and undecided nature was a help to oossoeslment ; for men got so wearied in following the °sciaticas of his mind that their suspicious in time went to rest ; and then, perhaps, when he saw that they were quite tired of predicting he would do • thing, be gently stole out and did it. —King/saes History of the War in the Crimea.

Occasional transactions continue to take place in good bills at 34 to 31 per cent., and although many diswunters alike, owing to the pending uncertainty as to whether any further action by the Bank of England may become ueocesary, there is • growing impres sion amongst shrewd advautage of higr alicins rates to th p at laceitwill be money o w n e t li for t. long periods, in consideration of the improbability that, in the present state of trade, any stringency can be more than temporary. The death of the Viceroy Said Pacha is likely to prove beneficial rather than detrimental to the inte rests of the foreign bondholders of Egypt. The late Viceroy, as is well known, was a man gi*n to pro fuse expenditure ; whereas his nephew and sue cessor, Ismail Pacha, is one of the richest princes in the country, and is distinguished for his clever management of his own large property, as well as for his general prudence. It is beved, therefore, that his Highness's accession will be marked by re treochnient of the public expenditure, and by s termination of the system of foreign loans. In any case, no future appeal is likely to be made to the European money marketa, except on the most legi timate grounds. Ismail Pacha is the eon of the talented Ibrahim Pacha, and is stated to be about 40 years of age. The adviser from Candentiasople affirm that the National Bank negotiations were rapidly approach ing completion. About 500001. in gold was purchased from the Bank yesterday for the Continent. The supplies from America also continue to be taken for that quarter, and any remittance from Australia which may arrive during the next week or two would doubtless follow. The amount of specie engaged for transmission to the East by the Ripon to-day is limited to 130,5981., of which 31,7001. is for Alexandria, 7, 3551 . for Madras, 50,0001. for Calcutta, 21,9331. for Hong Kong, 16,6101. for Shanghae, sal 4,0001. for Singapore. 43,0661. is gold, and the rest silver. The present quotation (ss. 41d.) for Maxima dollars is the hi gh est known for • period of about forty years. It is merely a nominal price, yet it is questionable whether any more dollars could be obtained at the same rate. The continuous advance in the value of this coin has been caused by the very moderate extent of the supplies from Mexico, combined with a certain though limited demand for Chins. The remittances of silver from Mexico GI late have consisted almost exclusively of hare. The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap pointed Friday next a special setting day in the shares of the &undo, Puniaub, and Delhi Bank Corporation, and the South African Irrigation and Investment Company both of which are to be marked in the official list.
