GOODWOOD RACES. THIS DAY. GOODWOOD CUP. Nancy Coarack enacua UNITED MEXICAN MINING ASsOClATlON.—Yes terday the half-yearly meeting of this company took place at the es, Einsbury-eircus. Sir John Easthope, Bart., in the chair. A report was read, which commenced by al luding, in terms of regret, to the loss the company had sustained in the! death of Mr. Shoolbred, their late manager ; the directors had, however, during the illuess of that gentleman, opened a negotiation with Capt. Farrell, whom they had since elected to the office, and it appeared that he had reached Vera Cruz, on the 31st of May last. It then alluded to the instructions given by the directors to their new manager, which it was not deemed advisable to publi-li at present. The Rayas Mine continued to yield good mturns, but the lease expinng in December next, the manager had been empowered to receive proposals fur ex tension of the tense. In reference to the Promontorio Mine, the report observed that the owners were not prepared to deliver over to the company the whole of the ground afi stipulated, and therefore the memory notice of abandonment bad been given. The Aldana mine had caused a considerable disappointment from the grout amount of capital expended, but it still required a further outlay. In the Jesus Maria mine the sinking of the shaft has being proceeded with u speedily as possible. The surface works of the Trinidad mine were already com pleted. The Mina Grande, which formerly yielded good Tetanus, would, it was hoped, with a little more expendi ture, still prove satisfactory. Tile expenditure on the five above named mines from October 18.50, to May 31, 1861, amounted to 80,263 dollars. The receipts from the Hayes was 71,622 dollars, thereby causing a balance of outlay of 8,641 dollars. Every effort bad been made to come to some amicable lenient with the Zacatecas, and the direc tors hail laid the cue before Lord Palmenton, who had personally communicated with the Mexican mi nister, and his excellency had promised to use his influence with the government. The scesunts in London showed that the receipts for the six menthe had amounted to 18,7241. Is. Id., and the payments to 906 f. Es. 4d., leaving an asset of 17,7281. 18e. 10d., which was subject to auxiliary capital amounting to 6,4388. Ids., thus maids/ea available erste 11,:901.35. 10d.

Almost the only topic of the slightest political in terest at present here, is the Limenck election. The utmost excitement on this subject prevails, and the result appears to be a matter of doubt with even the most sanguine of both parties. There was a rumour that Mr. Russell intended to retire, but this turns out to have been without any foundation, and he appears, on the contrary, resolved to fight the battle man fully. The correspondent of the F'rermon says, that the Hon. Col. Prendergast Vereker, eldest son of Lord Gort, has tendered his services and interest to Lo^d Arundel. This accession surprises every one. His Excellency Sir Gaspard Lc Marchand, Gover nor of Newfoundland, with family and suite, arrived on Monday, at Queenstown, from North America, en mite to London. At a meeting of the "Catholic Committee" held yesterday, it will determined that the aggregate meeting, which has been so long promised, shall taco place, not on the Gth of August as originally in tended, but on the 19th. It is expected that Arch bishop Cullen, or some other member of the Roman Catholic hierachy, will preside; and about the same time a public dinner will be given in Dublin to some of the leading members of the " Irish brigade." Letters from Lord Stourton , and M r . Bicidnlph Phillips, promising co-operation, and enclosing sub scriptions, have been received by the committee. At Kilkenny, Baron Pennefather has adjourned the assizes to some time in the vacation, not yet fixed, for the trial of persons charged with the mur der of a man named Ball, whose skeleton, it is sup paned, was found buried in a garden attached to the prisoners house. The charge is a curious one. It Is supposed that the murder was committed about three years ago, the supposed murdered man being the brother-in-law of the principal prisoner (Walsh). A woman, named Bridget Dwyer, recently came forward, and stated to the police that under a wall in Walsh's yard a skeleton would be found, and that the remains were those of Ball ; and in the place she indicated a skeleton was discovered. 'there were two fractures on the skull, and a dark fluid mixed with the brain, which in his opinion was blood. A woman named Fleming states that she MN returning, from Waterford, and saw a body in IValsh's house, and the prisoners standing over it. The statement was only communicated to the authorities recently. The prisoners' defence will be, that persons have seen Ball alive since the period at which it is stated that he was murdered. The Banoterif Ulster says: On Monday, an outrage of a most daring and desperate character was committed at Downpatrick. It appeared that two persons, named M'Mullau and Spence, brick moulders, residing at Ballyinacarrett, were parties litigant in a civil bill appeal, tried before Judge Ball, and that Spence, against whom his lordship's decision was pro nounced, immediately on leaving court attacked M'Mullan, knocked him down with a seven stroke of a stone on the head and lice, and, having otherwise grossly ill-used him, drove of with all speed to Belfast. M'Mulbm was at once removed to the hospital, where his life was declared to he in danger; and informations having been sworn before Mr. M'Canct•, Head-constable M'lntrre was despatched in all speed with a warrant for Spence s arrest. At a late hour last evening that active officer succeeded in capturing the offender, at his residence in Ballymacarrett, and immedi ately afterwards had him conveyed under escort to Down patrick, where it is supposed his trial will take place to-day. Tim GREAT EXIIIBITION.—Yesterday the receipts at the doors of the building amounted to 2,8351. fn., the number of visitors being 458,382. EMANCIPATION OF TUC JEW:l.—Last evening a public meeting, convened by the executive committee at the National Charter Association, was held at the National Hall, Ilolborn, to consider the subjects of the emancipation of the Jews, and the right of free thought. It was an nounced that Sir Benjamin Hall, M.P., had been requested to take the chair, and that Damn Rothschild and David Salomon., Esq., had been invited to attend, but these gentlemen did not make their appearance, and letters from them were read expressing their regret that previous en gagements had prevented them from giving their attend ance. Mr. 1). W. Huffy then took the chair, and, in open ing the proceedings. ooserved that the question before the meeting was, whether any constituency ought to be de prived of its representative, simply because he would not allow himself to be bribed by any creed or paltry• oath. A resolution to the following effect was then proposed That the meeting pledged itself, by every means in its power, to support the electors of the City of London and the borough of Greenwich against the attempt which was being made to disfranchise those constituencies in conse quence of their elected members declining to take an oath in a form opposed to their consciences. Several speakers profaning chartist doctrines addressed the meeting in fa vour of this resolution, and an amendment was proposed to the effect that the meeting, sympathising with every re ligious denomination, and acknowledging the rights of the people to elect for their representatives persons of every religion, without any distinction whatever, considered it was not to the interest of the working classes to sympa thise with usurers and capitalists. A long and noisy discussion ensued, in which it appeared that there was a considerable division of opinion upon the main subject before the meeting. The amendment was ultimately put and carried, and after some further speeches of a somewhat violent character, the meeting separated. _ TUE ROBBERIES ON TUE SOUTH-WESTERN RAIL WAIL—Since the conviction of l'amplin, the gold dust robber, at the Winchester Assizes, information has been de rived which is likely to secure the apprehension of the whole of the extensive gang of expert robbers who have carried on their operations en the South-Western Railway. A large number of individuals, supposed to be connected with the gang, have been under the surveillance of the police fur some time put. There is reason to believe that the gang would have been apprehended before, had not the South-Western Railway Company and the police laboured under an impression that the rob beries were not effected on the railway. The railway company have only been charged the cost price, 1201., of the bale of French merinoes, which was stolen some months since, and which amount has been paid. Some of the stolen goods were heavy, and must have required cart• age. The railway company arc building carriages specially fur the conveyance of the treasure landed at Southampton by the West India and Brazilian steamers. Until they are ready tor use, the West India Company have required some of their higher class officials and officers of the packets to accompany the treasure to London. These gentlemen place themselves in the treasure waggons on their passage from Southampton to London, and never lose sight of the gold and silver until it is safely lodged in the Bank of England. FATAL BOILER EKPLOMION NEAR OLDIIAM.—A boiler explosion, by which three men lost their lives, took place on 'fuesday morning, on the premises of Messrs. James Rhodes and Brothers, cottonspinners, at Hey, near Oldham. About nine o'clock in the morning the boiler, which is cylindrical in shape, of 42 horse power and almost I new, burst near the dusthole at the bottom. The steam rushing out with tremendous torte carried away a small portion of the flagged floor of a willow machine room, which was over the firing end of the boiler. Two men, named Jona Brierley and James Winterbottom, were working at the willows, and another named Samuel Lord, was at the lap machine. The men, hearing the explosion, ran towards the door of the room to escape, and the steam concealing the aperture it had made in the floor, they un fortunately fell through it into the steam and boiling water in the boiler house below. They were killed almost in. tautly. Upon examination it was found that one of the =I the upper part of the flue, immediately over the had been rent by the explo.ion to the length of 18 inches. The boiler was not moved from its position, nor was there any other damage done to the machinery or the building beyond the throwing down a wall in the front of the in-place. The cause of the accident has not yet been aseartalned. An inquest will be held this day (Thursday), on the bodies of the men who were killed. THE CASE OP A WOMAN KICKED TO DEATH AT MANCKINT6II.—We have already given in the Express the particulars of a shocking case of brutality, in which a boatman named Wick killed a female at • brothel, and severely injured another, by kicking and beating them, ender the belief that they had robbed him of four half. crowns. The sewer's jury land a verdict of " Wilful metier" owlet Wilk an Ttenday, but complained that they Mk wit bees Amid is boon the prisoner before them.

The question is giving rise to some alight agitation in Manchester, and the co ' otter's juries appear to sympathise with that functionary. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 31, 1851. RAIL WAYS. THIS DAY. Two O'CLOCK. The final settlement of the account, which has been in progress to-day, shows, as was anticipated. ' that the balances are decidedly against the spe culators for a fall, who have pushed their operations so extensively of late, and the upward movement developed a few days ago, has in cense 9nenoe acquired much more strength, supported as it is by the favourable appearance of the traffic returns (as noticed in another column). To day a very marked advance has taken place, in which nearly every description has participated, the rise being most considerable in Caledonians, Mid lands, Great Westerns, and Lancashire and York shires. A fair amount of business is going forward. WARM AND ATOM UNGIOARANTEND. awing prio Yesterday. Wes to-day up to 1 o'clock.

Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of the share holders in this company was held at the station at Stoke upon-Trent, Mr. Riceiteo, M.l'., in the chair. The attendance of proprietors was limited. The seal having been affixed to the registry of share holders, The CHAIRMAN rose to move the adoption of the report. He paid that he had not much to add to the report, in which was fully set forth the exact position of the company ; but some fault having been found with the working expenses as excessive, and statements having appeared to the effect that these were 561 per cent., he thought it proper to state that, taking into consideration the amount they received from the London and North Western Company, the expenses were little more than 50 per cent. of the earnings of the line. Their expenses had gradually declined with the in crease in their receipts; for the half-year up to June, 18-50, the receipts were jo,oool. on the railway, and the expenses 38,0001., being GS per cent. ; on the railway and canal together they were ol per cent. ; for the half-year ending December, 1860, on the railway and canal the expenses were 61 per cent.; this half-year onthe railway they were 60 per cent., and on the railway a n d canal they were 481 per cent. ; they had also, it must be borne in mind, a working staff able to conduct • much more extensive traffic. During the half-year just ended their rec e ipt s had increased by 11,4601. over the corresponding half of last year ; this was an average of 4101. per week, to which must be added the 1401. per week excess over the amount remised fres the London and Needs Western Company ever the first half of lest year ; this amounted to 1401. a week, and actually increased their weekly receipts 5801. per week. Hu thought that this was most satisfactory, and now that the line was out of the danger of not paying its working ex penses, as some persons for their own purposes appeared to wish, he thought there was a fair prospect of the rail way becoming ultimately remunerative to the share. holders. The hon. geutlentan referred to the disputes with the London and North Western Company, which were still under arbitration, that company still withholding those facilities for their traffic to which the North Staffordshire railway was entitled by virtue of existing agreements. The directors thought that if they had trains running from Colwich to Stoke and other places on the line there ought to be trains at Macclesfield to take on the passengers, especially as this could be done without any difficulty by the North Western Company The arbitrator had, however, stated that he did not at present think he WAS called upon by the terms of the agreement of arbitra tion to alter the train ; he hail, however, intimated that he would consider this, and although he (the chairman ) was so far disappointed, not dissatis fi ed, with the a rbitrator, he hoped that:they would be able to show him sufficient grounds to alter his decision. The line possessed groat resource., and would be really of great value so soon as a legitimate outlet for its traffic was obtained ; the directors were not content to sit down with a 11 per cent. divideud, but it was satisfactory. to know that, with all the obstacles they had encountered, they were in a position to report a surplus at all. The hon. gentleman concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. MAMMON II was so dissatisfied with the manage ment that he should no longer support the directors. He moved that the places of those directors who retire from the board be not filled up at the board. Mr. HALL, of Newcastle, seconded the motion. Before this motion was put, the Chairman put one to the effect that " the report " should be adopted, which was carried unanimously. Dr. WILSON, of Neweestle, said that if the present number of directors was only just sufficient, it would be the height of insanity to reduce them. The CHAIRMAN explained that, considering the canal was reptesented at the board by three directors, and that at Manchester, Liverpool, Derby, London, and at this place the line required to be represented, he thought it would be quite evident that the number of gentlemen sitting at the board was anything bat too numerous. Moreover, lie re ferred to the tart that within the last year the directors had voluntarily reduced their allowance to themselves one half. To remove the four directors going out would derange the whole constitution of the concern. Mr. BRAMLEY MWItS, of Liverpool , said that the practical etfrct of carrying the amendment of the lion. proprietor would be to deprive the company of the head of the concern, n well as two mint valuable director,. ; and in his opinion there waa no man at the board fit to take the place of the chainnan. The CHAIRMAN then put the amendment, and one hand only was held up in favour of it. The motion was, therefore, declared to hc lust. _ The retinug directors were re-elected ; and a resolution sou also pamed, declaring a dividend of 2s. 6d. per ',hare. Mr. S. Child, 7d.P., was elected a director on the part of the preference shareholders. The meeting then broke up, it having been one of the most harmonious that boo been held since the eompany was incorporated. CAMERON'S COALBROOK STEAM COAL, SWANSEA AND IM:GlIOR RAILWAY. Yesterday, the half-yearly meeting of this com pany was held at the offices in 3toorgate street, City. E.G. Wisirmuor, EM., having tak e n th e c h a i r , M r . Hownes, the secretary, read the report, from which it appeared that the delay in the payment of the arrears (deans had impeded the completion of the railway to Llanelly, but so little re mained to be done that it might be completed in six or eight weeks. Tho directors had successfully resisted the claims of Mr. W. J. P. Cameron, the granter of the property, both in respect of his shares and the 8,0001. claimed as part of the purchase money. This had settled a great difficulty. Mr. Cameron now agreed to assist the company in raising pre ference shares to complete the railway, by postponing the interest on his remaining shares till those shares should be paying 8 per cent. A bill had been brought into parlia ment for the object of completing this arrangement, but it was successfully opposed by two shareholders, who were de faulters to the extent of 1,0001., and was therefore lost for the present session. The calls in smear amounted to nearly 3,0001., for the recovery of which the directors had taken legal proceedings. The following balance-sheet was read to the meeting : " I)r.—to capital stock, being the amount paid up on shares, 180,7981. 10s. ; this amount includes 11,970 shares having 101. paid up thereon, received by Mr. Cameron, on account of purchase money ; to sundry creditors, via., bills ' payable, on loans 6,7331., 9s. on sundries 5,2011. lls. 34.; to sundries, including contract for Llanelly line, 6,5021.95. 2d.; to royalty claimed, 4,5001. Total, 203,7381. 19s. bd. Thu claim of Mr. E. M. Elder on on account of costs is under taxation, and until further examination and taxation, the directors are not prepared to state how the balance between him and the company may stand. " Cr.—By mining property, 118,0001.; by working stock and permanent works, valued at 2,875/. 7s. 5d.; by line from the company's works to the port of Swansea, by act of parliament obtained for the same, which ultimately would, it is considered, be of much larger value than the cost as under : law and parliamentary charges incurred in obtain ing act, engineering expense, surveying, &c.,9,3371. 12s. 6d. ; by parliamentary charges, cash advanced, and costs in re ference to the two bills lx fore parliament this session, and other matters, 2,0221. 16s. 61. ; by line to the port of Llanelly, general engineering, cost of land, way -leaves, &c., 2,5741. bid.; by cash at bankers, and bills and balances , on overdue bil's and accounts, MI . 13s. llid. ; by balance at debit of profit and loss, 38,6001. bs. 6d. Total, 203,738/. 19s, 5d." Mr. Atkinson 's report (the engineer) was read, who gave it as his estimate that 460 tour of coal could be raised daily from the mines, as soon as the winning was com• plete, the expenditure for which might be extended over two or three years. At present prices, he calculated this , would pay a dividend of 8: per cent. upon the capital of I 79,410/. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the re • port, advised the shareholders to contribute the small sum now required to finish the railway to Llanelly, when means would be adopted to obtain the capital necessary to open the coal mines, and act the company profitably at work. He thought this much preferable to dissolving the company, for it could saly be done at an immense expense, delay, and litigation. (Hear, hear.) The report, after some discussion, was adopted unanimously, and the retiring directors and auditors were re elected, when the meeting adjourned. WINDING-UP OF JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES. TILING, READING, AND BASINGSTOKE RAILWAY.— Yesterday there was a meeting in this matter before the Muter in Chancery Richards to consider the claim of Menus. Hill and Everell, the late solicitors, for 4,0001. Mr. Roxburgh, counsel for Mr. Wryghte, the °facial ma nager, opposed the claim, upon the ground that it had already been disallowed by Mr. Commissioner Fans when this company was before the Court of Bankruptcy. Mr. Everell contended that he was at liberty to go into fresh ' 1 evidence before the Muter, who, however, after a discus 'ion, decided that Mr. Everett must either apply for a re- 1 hearing before the commissioner or take the debt as die allowed. LANCASHIRE, CHESHIRE, AND STAFFORDSHIRE RAlLWAY.—Further proceedings in this matter have, with the consent of the parties, been adjourned to next term, to allow of negotiations for a compromise being carried out.

RELIANCE MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. —Yesterday a general meeting of the members of this society was held at their offices, in King William-street, City, when the retiring directors and auditors were unani mously elected. The accounts submitted showed a pre mium receipt of 10,0431. 170. 7d. within the year, to which may be added 221/. I Is. 941. in respect of assurance accepted before the close of Juno and since completed, and 1,4751. 19s. 3d. for interest on invested funds. The claims on the society, which wero stated to have been all promptly discharged, amounted to 1,8.301., in respect of four lives deceased, being about 50 per cent. of the estimated risk. After deduction of all outgoings, the improvement of the funds of the society for the period under consideration were estimated to exceed 6,300/. CoM MON LIMO ING-lIOUSES.—Ati act of parlia ment took effect front Thursday last, when it received the royal a4sent, for the well-ordering of common lodging houses. The preamble declares that it would tend greatly to the comfort and welfare of many of her Majesty's poorer subjects, if provision were made for the welTorderiug of common lodging-houses. Within the metropolitan police district the commissioners are to execute the act, and local authorities in other places. Notice is to be given within three months to all common lodging house keepers to register the places, and a register is to be kept of the num ber of lodgers authorised to be received therein. After one month of giving such notice, lodgers aro not to be received in any common lodging-house until the same has been in spected and approved for that purpose, by some officer up- I pointed on that behalf by the local authority, and been rogikt.rod. Regulation may be made for such houses. Keepers of common lodging-houses are to give notice of fever, and at all times to be open to ,free inspection, and when required have the place thoroughly c l eanse d . Penal 'ties are to be recovered tor offending against the act. The new law has operation throughout all parts of the United Kingdom, with the exception of the City of London oc liberties, and except as to Scotland. FEUDALISM IN GY.IO4ANY.—Wo learn front the Bavarian part of Swabia that the abolition of local and oeignorial jurisdiction (decreed in 1848) has in most cases remained a dead letter. As an instance of the continued as sumption of feudal power on the part of "the reigning knights sad counts" we have received a copy of the following penal imam, which the proprietor of a largo domain in Bavaria pas imposed upon the schoolmaster and the infant popula tion of his village. The decree is as follows:—" 1. No child of the village shall for the future dare to enter the garden, the ceurtyurd;or the castle of his Erksochr. De linquents in this respect shall be subjected on the spot to the severest corporal punishment. 2. Whereas the children of the village are in the habit of forgetting to uncover their heads on the approach of his Erlaudif the schoolmasters are by these presents instructed to censure the said chil dren for their disrespectful conduct, and, in case of its repe tition, to visit them with the severest castigation. 3. If, however, in contempt of this present decree, any child, or any number of children, should dare to refuse hie ErfaucA4 the respect due to his high position, the schoolmaster shall be punished by a line, to be levied on the corn to which he is otherwise entitled from the Else of his Erlaucht." This remarkable document is signed by the count, and it bears, moreover, the counter-signature of his responsible bailiff.— Natter Zeitung. A GREEN ROSE.—We recently noticed the pro duction of a blue rose at Paris by artificial crossings. - The Ro/Mgh (N.C.) Register, in copying our notice, says: " We Can add to this the green rose of North Carolina, which, though not the creature of science, is sufficiently well known In parte of this state to claim a rank among the shove coral novelties.
