MEDITERRANEAN EXTENSION TELEGRAPH COMPANY .-( THIS DAY.) The half•yearly meeting was held at 1 o'clock, at the London Tavern ; Mr. H. MOOR in the chair. . . The report said " the improvement in the revenue has been such ms torenderit anew:weary for thecompany to apply to her Majesty's government for assistance under the guarantee. This improvement would doubtless have been more fully go-eloped, bad the inten aptinn not occurred on the Malta sod Alexandrian line. As, however, it is believed that that interruption will only be bmporary, the directors do not an ticipate any serious diminution in the receipts for the current treat. The company's cables still continue in excellent corking order. Since the last report the cable therein Alided toss being about to be laid by the Italian govern ment has been Innuendo! ly submerged, and the trans mission of messages between Malta and Greet Britain has been, ea was anticipan-d, very materially accelerated. The directors recommend the payment of the usual dividend on the preference shares and the game dividend on the diereses was paid last half year. They also recom mend that a sum of 5441. 18s. 91., being at the rate of 10/. per east on the receipts, be added to the reserved fund?'

Owing to the fracture of the cable between Alexandria and Bengazi ' the com munication between this country and Malta had been interrupted, but there was very little doubt that it would soon be restored. Since the hurt meeting the cable had been laid between Marsala and Cape Carbonate, in Sardinia, which had greatly facilitated the transmission of messages. The report was adopted, and the usual dividend declared. The proceedings terminated with the usual vote of thanks. SERIOUS FMK& —(rii is DAY.) —At an early hour this morning • fire broke oat in the extensive premises of Mr. John Garmison, linen-draper and silk mercer, Noe. 133 and 134, Tottenham-court-road. The fire. when first discovered, was raging in the side windows, amongst the stock of linens sue silks there. These were entirely destroyed, and the met of the stock and She liztorei in the shop seriously damaged. The loss will fall upon the Sun fire•office. The origin of the fire could not be saoertained. The stock of Mr. Holmes, • tea dealer, No. 1 3 2, is also damaged by smoke. A fire also broke out in the premises of Mr. F. Priestly, pianoforte maker ' No. 15, Berners-street, Oxford-street, which wee mused by au escape of gas. Considerable damage wax done to the valuable contents in the show•ronm, and the upper part of the building. The loss will fall upon the Westminster-office. ANOTHER DEATH FROM FIRE THROUGH CHINO LING—INQUEST.HTHIS DAT.)—This afternoon Mr. John Humphreys, Middlesex coroner, held an inquiry at the Linden Hospital respecting the death of Mrs. Mary Anne Collies, aged 58 years, who expired this morning from dreadful injuries sustained from fire last night. Deceased resided at No. 29, Henry-street, Jubileostreet, and was last night in the kitchen airing some clothes at the fireplace. By some means, while her back was turned to- wards the fire, her dress, which was distended by crinoline, got between the ban of the grate and instantly blazed up. Her cried brought in the neighbours to her assistance, but before the flames could be extinguished she had been frightfully injured over the whole body. She was conveyed to the hospital, where she expired between 12 and 1 o'clock this morning in great suffering. The coroner having remarked upon the melancholy nature of the case, the jury returned a verdict of "Death by acci dental burning." SHOCKING ACCIDENT IN A CHURCH.—An inquiry was held at the Grasehoprer Tavern, Charlezetniet, end, by Mr. John Humphreys, Middlesex coroner, last night, respecting the death of John Mahoney, aged 29 years, who was killed under the following shocking circumstances : —lt appeared from the evidence that oo last Saturday the deceased and others were engaged in settling the plaster on the walls in the interior of St. Ann's Roman catholic church. Altertatreet, Spitalfields. The ladder on which be stood was 40 ft. long, and should have been placed with the bottom end only six feet from the wall, but he, notwithstanding the remonstrances of his fellow.workineo, and the Rev. Hr. Lefrorst, placed it sixteen feet from the wall. He incanted to the top and cried out, " Safe enough ; " when just at the moment the ladder broke suddenly, and be was pitched headlong to the ground, nearly falling upon the clergyman in his descent. He was frightfully mjnred, his rib being driven into the lungs, and he expired almost im mediately. The coroner having summed up, the jury re tuned a verdict of "Accidented Death." NARROW ESCAPE ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—The train on the Great Western line from Loudon. doe at Warwick on Wednesday evening at 6.18 p.m., did not arrive until a minute or two before 7. There was an unusually large number of persona on the platform at this station , in consequence of the mime, and much anxiety was felt. On the arrival of the train loyalties mede of the guard elicited the answer that the delay had occurred at Diticet, but the real muse was made more apparent when a few minutes afterwards the train left Warwick ; it bad not proceeded more than three quarters of a mile when the ashpan of the engine dropped out and lay across the line—the train, of course, MON to a stand, and most of the passengers alighted ; it was then seen that the iron composing the upper part of the pan was literally worn through, sad was an almost as bad • state as it could be. Had the train got on two or three miles further, and acquired • greater velocity, the conse quences of this casualty must have been very serious, and the company could have urged no excuse for permitting an engine to travel with an silvan in such a t ad condition. SCIENCE LSD ART DEPARTMENT.—The report of the Science and Art Department for the past year states tact 2,543 persons have bent under instruction in science duals taught by certified musters, and, besides, about 870 students at Glasgow and Manchester, taught by uncertifi eated masters, have bun examined by the department. At the examination, held at 56 local centres, 1,239 vinous were examined, 1,943 papers were worked, and 1,480 passed. The students of seven Irish schools, numbering only 374, were successful in obtaining 149 prizes and 12 medals out of total of 689 prizes and 35 medals. There are now 127 car tented science teachers, all educated without any expen diture of public money by the department, except five or six who were trained before the minute was passed. A minute has been issued assimilating the *id granted to navi gation cleans to that afforded to general science classes, with doe regard to the peculiar nature of navigation schools, and aseouregieg a sounder system of instruction. As respects art, the department consider that the time has se rved when the load schools have become sufficiently ad vanced in t',eir studies to enable them to train andiron for elastsealdps go to a certaio grade of competence, sad a minute hie, therefore, been passed by which no further payments in Leaden will be made to Assist students to take the first entificate for a mastership. On the other hand, it is pro posed to revert to the system of scholarships in the neutral Khoo!, which had been somewhat prematurely established in the schools of design- These scholarships will be open to competition to the advanced studeou of all schools, and the holden of them will have the opportunity of making practical use of the collections of the Art Museum. In 1862 P.,v96 children of the poor schools in London wen taught throuth the agency of the central school. The total number of schools of art now open in the United Kingdom is 90. In the notral schools 15,908 persons received instruction in the year, in the public schools 71,423; 4,672 payments were mad; to schools of art is respect of result. of examinations. Pa) meats on results have for the rut ten years formed part of the system by which art masters have been remunerated, and the working of the system has been such as to justify its complete adoption ; minute* have accordingly been pre pared extending the application of this principle to all the instruction given in or through the means of art schools. These minutes will also tend to restrict the aid of the state to those claws that are unable to provide such education for themselves. In the last year 87,389 persons were taught drawing through the agency of the department, the fees paid In them amounting to 18,0171. Of this sum 5A381. was paid by evening students, who are almost wholly artisan, paying sot wore than 6d. a week for three luaus. Several foreign governments, from a sense of the great infirmness of the science and art department on the industrial progress of this Country, have made application foe detailed information of the working of the department—a proof that the en lightened views of the Pnoce Consort in founding the South kingdom, Museum have been appreciated, not oily in this g loßdom, but by other nations.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A WILTSHIRE MAGISTRATE. —On Tuesday last an inquest wu held at Blandon Abbey, Wiltehire, on the body of Captain Clayton de Windt. of ' the 15th Hussars. and a magistrate of the county of Wilt shire, who was killed on the previous day by his horse falling upon him. It appears that the gallant gentleman wu ntling along the High worth.road, and the Stanton toll gate keeper (who bad instructions to keep the bar closed until vehicles approached. as several persons had made it a habit to pass through without paying) opened the bar. This appears to have frightened the horse on which the gallant gentleman was riding, for he was thrown into the ditch, and the animal fell upon him. The accident wan witnessed at the toll-bar, and assistance was promptly obtained. The unfortunate sufferer only spoke once, and then became insensible. He was conveyed to the house and a surgeon f r om Ifighworth arrived In half-an-hour, but life wee then extinct, Several ribs had been fractured, and other severe injuries bad been received. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." but they expressed an opinion that a CPtoll -gate should be provided and a competent keeper precsad there, stating that in their opinion if this had been the Mee the present unfortunate occurrence would not have mu. place. The demand wu 48 years of age. A monument to Captain Conk the greet navi gator. is about to be erected In the Saudwich Islas& EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 7, 1863. SHARE GISTS.-(TBIS DAY.)
