Yesterday the half-yearly general meeting of pro prietors was held at the offices, No. 5, Finsbury Circus, Mr. M'Kollop in the chair. The report after detailing the remit oondition of the mines, stated that although the Whirs of the company presented no masked features of prosperity. they showed an aspect which inspired hopes for the fat are, he Mexican accounts for the year 1852 showed receipts to the amount of 41,7bil dole., and as ex- penditure of 4b,771 dull., leaving a lose of 3,1 0 /1 dale. The amount expended on the new mines of Aldana, Jesus Maria, and La Trinidad, amounted to 71,753 dole.

They had aot been able to get the vein at Li Trinidad u vion as they ex ported, although they had &wooded 14.) of the 200 Tam indicated as the depth at which they might hope to find it. The Zacatecas question might be considered as settled, the g eeeee meat of Banta Anna having confirmed the agree ment of the previous Mexican government, which agreed to give 190,000 dots. for the debt of 223,000 dubs. due to the oonotay. The report was agreed to. Mr. IR. Biddalph and Mr. Morris were re-elected directors, and Mr. Hibbert was re-elected auditor. Mr. J. Philips pointed oat the de 'arability of opening new ground instead of proceeding to work the old mines, and inquired whether the directors had mitered into any negotiations fur the purchase of the Los Locos mien, which were situated between their own. The' Chairman, in reply, said that the works cf the company were limo entirely new ground. They bad not heard a tangle word on the subject of the Los Lagos mine', nor were they aware that any such mines were is the market.

The foaming . _ la the report of the directors, to be submitted intim f-yearly meeting of the company, to be held at ffesime-upes-Trent to-morrow " The at with the London and North Western Company bt been carried out according to the roma osen4atieo tithe arbitrators, appointed for the settlement of all differentia between the two companies, the director, have little to announce to the shuttles:len beyond the pro sal to declare the stipulated dividend of - - re. 3d. per share, being at the rate of 3 per centum per annum for the first year, in pursuance of the sward of Masers. Stephenson and Hope, and in acoordsate with the aceosats sow submitted. It may be as well again to re peat that the dividends secured will be increased to 3i per cent. in 18.54, and 31 per cent. in and all future years. The directors had hoped that they would have been able to inform their proprietors that the 'suc tion of parliament to the bill introduced for the amalgama tion of the two companies had been obtained, but the int lion of Mr. Cardwell's committee has for the pre sent prevented the passing of such measure. The report of that committee is now before the pubi.e, and the directors do not anticipate any difficulty in carrying the bill is the ensuing session. Under any circumstances the very large increase in the local traffic of the line, averaging upwards of a thousead pounds per week, is a sufficient guarantee of the prosperity of the undertaking, and, if not promising an immediate security equal to a 31 per cent. preference stock of the London and North Westin' Company, at all events demonstrates its safety and value as ea investment. In the mean time both companies will act in strict conformity with the arrangement already sanctioned, and it will be the duty of your directors to neglect no precaution to provide against all contingencies ; under the Fest nt circumstances, how ever, and with a bill before parliament which has been so prominently referred to in the amalgamation committee, they deem it advisable in the interest of the undertaking to *void, as far as possible, entering into details. The amicable relations subsisting between the two companies have, under the advice of +heir j riot committees appointed fur the purpose, led to arrangements of traffic operating much to their mutual advantage, as well as to the increased convenience of the public, and further trains for both passengers and goods will be passed over the North Staffordshire Railway, so soon as the details neces sarily connected with such changes can be completed. The permanent way, the rolling stock, the stations, and other buildings on the railway are in a satisfactory state of effi ciency ; sal the directors have the pleasure to make an equally 'gratifying report of the state of the canal and sU connected with the navigation depLrtment. There are still claims that will be chargeable when fettled to the pre vious half-year, and which, therefore, prevent the division of the small surplus carried over born the revenue of 31st December lost."

IN THE MATTER Or RICHARD DCHN. This else again came before the learned commissioner, and attracted a crowded court. The former proceedings were reported on Saturday. It was understood that Miss Burdett Coutts would he ctlled as a witness, and public curiosity, from the details already given, was ticked. Mr. Cooke appeared, as on the preceding occasion ' Icy n Miss Burdett Con', and the insolvent was himself his own attorney and mist cite. The case was specially fixed for 12 o'clock, and at that hour Mr. Commiss:oner Law proceeded from his own court to the court of the Chief Commissioner, to whom the case had been allotted. Every part of the court was soon filled, and Lord Barrow by and Lord Charles Wellesley had seam on the bench. The insolvent announced that although he had issued subvenas for flies Burdett Coutta and Mr. Majoribanks he had not served them, on which Mr. Cooke observed that they were in attendance. Miss Bursle.t Cuutts entered the court accompanied by a lady and the noblemen mentioned. and being accommodated with a seat on the bench, the case proceeded. Miss Burdett Coutta was examined by the insolvent. She stated that she wes at Harrogate in 1538. She received two letters, signed Richard Dunn, and she applied to • magistrate of the peace for protection. She saw the Rev. Mr. Rhodes who was • magistrate there. Mr. Majoribanks did not stow her and• of his (insolvent's) letters, or she should have declined to have read them. If he had aid he had a communication train MIA COUtts it would have been a falsehood. The laminae referred to some letters which be said be had reeeivrd from Mr. Majoribanks, requesting an inter view with Ma. The letten were road, and continual re marks were made as tho case proceeded. Miss Coutta had to bear a number of letters read and obeervations made by the insolvint. Ths learned Commissioner repeatedly inter • . tered, in order that the examination might proceed in a proper manner. bliss Burdett Coatis, in reply to other questions of the in selvent, said Mr. Majoribanks bad told her generally what passed. That gentleman was now in court. The insolvent asked Miss Coutts what was her opinion as to a lady receiving letters from a gentleman Mr. Cooke objected to the question. Mr. Commissions r Law said it was a men waste of time. The insolvent insisted he had a right to pat the qusstioa. He would hate the question answered. Mr. Commissioner Law decided that the lady had liberty to answer or not the question. Mr. Cooke recommended bliss Coutts not to answer. Min Cosine said she did not think a lady was called upon to answer the question. Some more interlarded remarks were made by the insol vent, who referred to some papers, and was requested over and ever again by the court to proceed with the gamins lion of the lady before the court. The insolvent wished to refer to a letter from Sir Francis Burdett, her father, and said he did not wish to hurt her feelings. Miss Burdett Coutts, in reply to questions, said a stranger had got admissi,n to Sir Francis Burdett, and he did not know who he was til: he waggons. The insolvent wished to put in a letter of Sir Francis Burdett. Mr. Cooke submitted that it was not evidence. Mr. Commissioner Law said it was not evidence in any shape or way. In answer to other questions put by the insolvent, Miss Burden Comets stated that she recollected when the insolvent was belie, the magistrates in Yorkshire, she re collected generally what passed, but not the details. The insolvent said he would read what passed. Mr. Commissioner Law told the insolvent he would not be allowed to read from the pamphlet he held in his hand. Miss Burdett Cuutts stated in answer to the insolvent, that she stated that she was alarmed by being addressed by a stranger. She did not recollect what he (the insolvent) had said to her. The insolvent wished to know what he had done to frighten her or put Ler in fear. lle declared that he had never done anything of the hied. He met her in the fields and took off his hat, say;: e i ng he s. was very sorry if he had don. anything to hurt her Miss Burdett Coutts was then examined by Mr. Cooke— She stated that she never knew the gentleman till he came to Harrogate. She told any of her servants to give him any encouragement to come down. She received two letters signed by this person. She went down to Harro gate for her health. She went to a hotel there. She heard that Mr. Dunn Lad taken apartments there, and from what she had heard she was apprehensive of danger, which mad* her apply to • magistrate. She had before visited llarrogate without being annoyed. The eir eurnstance she had mentioned occurred about August, 1833. She applied to Mr. klajetibanks, and he came down. Mr. Dunn was committed to custody to the Petty Sessions. She left lierrogate, and took no further notice of the matter. After Mr. Dunn's release he came to London, and continued his annoyance. She was obliged to have a policeman in her house. She could not visit • plane of Divine worship. She went to a chapel near her house, because she thought it would be more safe. She understood this person was there, but she did not see him, and the clergyman took some steps to prevent this annoyance. She had applied to a magistrate in London to protect her. Mr. Cooke asked the lady whether she had ever written to the insolvent. Miss Burdett Coutta declared that she never bad writ ten to him, or authorised any letter to be written. The letters she had received from him she handed to her at torney, Mr. Humphries. Further, Miss Conn", in her examination, said she sent the letters to her attorney, with the view of being protected from the insolvent's annoyance. She never authorised this pawn to draw on the bank in the Strand. She had been examined before Lord Denman, when be was indicted for perjury. The authority, as it was called, to draw the bill for 100,0001., beginning " Send to Coutes your bill, then's lots in the till," was banded to the lady, and she stated that she did not authorise him to write it or anything like it. She had exhibited articles of the peace against him in London. The re-examination of the lady then commenced, and continued for some time. The insolvent read some doggrel and made observations. He called for mime letters, which be said he had received from Stratton -street, and Mice Ciotti was all the time seated on the bench. Mr. Commissioner Law interposed several times, re questing the insolvent to fioiah his examination of the lady. Mr. Cooke several times asked whether she might retire. The brelvent further read some correspondence, which be sell be had received and which he answered. ILL Olatiaissioner Law at length said only one more letter abissid be read. — Veer asme farther examination the lady was allowed to retire, bombe bees la court nearly three hours. la armee le the mutt, the insolvent admitted that the letter settles the authority was a " queer " one, but not inch as est thee a lady would not write. Mr. Makelbeeks was examined. He told the insolvent the authority was not in the handwriting of Miss Coutts, and Mr. Robinson, a clerk, also said the same. The insolvent then gave his evidence, and made churn amts. He had acted bona fide in the matter, as be believed the letters were written by Miss Ceuta. He alsocomplained of the manner in which judgment had been obtained against Mr. Cooke addressed the court, and at 6 o'clock the in solvent begged an adjournment, as he was unable to reply at that late hour. The cue was adjourned to Saturday, and as the reply is not given, the complaint of the learned counsel is re served. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE NORFOLK CIRCUIT.-IPSWICU, JULY 27. Coors Curier.—Bavosz Stu khans. ---- ---.— --..—.— CIIAROZ or STIALITC! o•3.—Tus COMMITTAL or • iVngiss: William Cook (on bail),••;;ber of the Ipswich cor poration, a paving and lighting commissioner, and • plumber and gas fitter, carrying on an extensive business us this tows., was charged with having, on the Ist of March, stolen 50.00 cubic feet of gas, the property of the Ipswich Gas Light Company. The manager of the works and the foreman were requested to remove the meter from the closet where it was fixed in in the cellar if the prisoner's premises, take it down to the gas-works, and test its accuracy. This was done, and the result tamed out to be that the meter was correct in every particular. The meter was ordered to be taken back by Sidney Smith Themes, • workman in the service of the company, to replace it from where it had been taken. A workman of the company, when in the act of fixing the prisoner's meter, discovered a secret pipe, what is tech• nically called a bye-pass pipe—a pipe which secretly conveyed gas to all parts of the premises, thus enabling the prisoner to consume gas belonging to the company, without passing through the meter, thus defrauding the Gas Company. Atter the secret pipe was discovered, on the lfitia instant, it was soon after partly removed by 80111 P one on the prisoner'a premises, the ends of which were bat tered up, so that the gas would pass from the company's pipe, and then through the meter. It was also shown that a cooking-stove, heated by gees, and which was also seen in the prisoner's house the same time as the secret pipe was discovered, was removed a day or two afterwards. Mr. VAlallsy, in addressing the jury for the prisoner, said he could not dray but that • large portion of the gas consumed upon the prisoner's premise, had not passed through the meter, and, consequently, had not been paid for to the company. The question then arose, had the pri• senor a guilty knowledge of the gas being fraudulently ap propriated ? lie then called far the defence, Charles Farrow, the fireman of the prisoner, but be . fore this witness was sworn, ..

The prisoner was accordingly taken into custody. John Creasy, who was in the service of the prisoner in 1851, proved that he made the joint on the secret pipe by the order of Farrow. The following gentlemen were next called to speak to the previous character of the prisoner :—Mr. J. D. Burroughes, a borough and county magistrate ; Dr. Beck, Mr. C. Burton, a borough magistrate ; Mr. J. A. ltansonse, of the firm of Winsome and Sims ; Mr. John Ansell, of Hadleigh ; Mr. J. Head, a member of the Society of Friends; Mr. George Mason, and Mr. J. Jennings, some of whom had known the prisoner for upward, of IS yokes, and gave the prisoner an ' excellent character up to the time of his committal. Mr. Prendergast having replied upon the evidence ad dueed for the defence, The Judge summed up the evidence, remarking that while he was Attorney-General Escise cases had come before the court in which parties had been charged with having a private still upon their premises. The defence in those cues had generally been, as in the present, that the servant had done it. But as in those cases so in this—who got the benefit I Having remarked upon the prisoner retaining She witness Farrow in his service after he had confessed himself to have been guilty of felony, he con cluded by leaving it for the jury to say—after reminding them that the station of the prisoner in life must not weigh for one moment on their minds—whether they believed, from the evidence adduced, that be was aware of the secret pipes having been laid on, either at the time of their being fixed, or at any time after. The Jury, attar consulting ha about three minutia, re turned a verdict of Guilty, with a recommendation of mercy. The Judge said he quite concurred in the verdict, and after strong observatious upon the prisoner calling Farrow as a witness, who beyond all doubt had committed perjury, he sentenced the prisoner to 12 months' hard labour. After a short interval Charles Farrow was placed at the bar charged with stealing gas, the property of the Ipswich Company. The prisoner pleaded Guilty, and he was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment with bard labour. NORTH WALES CIRCUIT.-OARNARVON, JVLT 26. THZMITIIDiIt RIAU CONWAY.-SINFENCE OF DIATII. John Roberts, aged 2.5, labourer, was charged with the wilful murder of Jesse Roberta, teacher in the British School, Conway. The murder took place on an isolated part of one of the nr,untains near the village of Roe, near Conway, in May last, and the circumstances will be fresh in the memory of our readers. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. A number of witnesses were examined, and their evi dence fully ce:acided with that given on the inquest. The prisoner, who during thn entire trial had put on the appearance of a maniac, made his defence in Welsh, to the same effect as when before the coroner, namely, that de ceased shot himself in the act of falling • that he lifted him up intending to carry him home, hut had not the necessary strength, and so left him on the grass, with his bat lying beside. He accounted for the possession of the deceased's watch by saying that he bad previously bought it from him. He said " his heart was too heavy to inform deceased's friends of the accident. The Judge in summing up pointed out the discrepancies between the prisoner's statements and the facts incontro vertibly established upon evidence. The wounds by which deceased met his death were from gun shot lodged in the beck of his head ; and his hat was perforated behind. The body also was not found lying on the prase, but was hidden, being closely jammed into a rocky cleft, at the complete back of which his hat had also been thrust by some long instrument. The deceased was in possession of his watch, and had been seen to look at it. Verdict—Gui/ty. The Judge, in passing &tutelars of death, held out no hope of mercy, and said that a more barbarous murder had n been committed. This closed IDDLESKIE SESSIONS.-YESTERDAY. BOORt MI.

The prisoner and one or two other lads had a quarrel in Underwood•street, Mile End, on the ith inst., and being aggravated by them to desperation, he threw a atone at one, upon which the prosecutor, a bigger boy than the prisoner, interfered. The prisoner run into his father's house, and came out with a table knife in his hand, and dared the prosecutor to molest him further, and then with the view of depriving him of the knife, the prosecutor rushed at him, and received a cut on the left aide of the face, extending nearly from the nose to the lower jaw. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of a common assault, and the court sentenced him to 14 days' imprisonment. THE POLICE COURT& MANSION-HOUSE. John Morley and James IVilson were brought before the Lord Mayor for final examination, charged with having at tempted to pus forged couatry bank notes. The following is the additional evidence against the pri• wnets, who it will be remembered had been followed by the police, and were co-operating in the endeavour to pass • forged note in the shop of Messrs. Cory and Williamson, cheer...mongers, in BO'tomato-street. Mr. George Wade, clerk in the York Union Banking Company, at York, slid—l have been clerk in the banking company 14 years. I sometimes countersign the notes issued from our beak. The note produced, purporting to be a U. nets, is made apparently to resemble one of our notes issued within that period. I know nothing of either of the prisoners. My name upon the note is a forgery. Mr. T. IL Smith, manager of the Nottingham and Not tinghamshire Basking Company—The note produced, pur porting to be a fig. not* of that beak, is a forgery. I sign the notes of our beak. The signature to this note, T. H. Smith, is not mini. There Is no other person of my name connected with the bask. Little (City po lice), upon apprehending Wilson, saw him take something out of his pocket and put it into his mouth, but, with the assistance of another °film, made him dis gorge the morsel, and found that it caudated of the two forged notes. The prisoners, upon being asked whether they wished to say anything in answer to the charge , said " No, no," and appeared to be anxious to be committed at once. They were then committed for trial. Henry Sims was brought up for final examination, charged with having been found in possession of a number of Bash notes, and with having attempted to impose upon Captain Patrick, of the brig Itiga, of Dundee. The prisoner had fixed his eye open the prosecutor, as a flat, and had followed him up for some time, seconded by another sharper, no doubt, in the hope of robbing him of some money, which he had drawn from the Bank for the purpose of paying his crew. The prosecutor was in vited to take some refreshment by the generous strangers, who not only said they had plenty of money but exhibited what appeared to be bank notes and gold, but he was not quite so raw as they supposed him to be, and he headed the prisoner over to the care of • polleenum, who had been observing them just as the prisoner was becoming very urgent in his invitation, and when the accomplice had re tired with the view of p ting suspicion. Two:persons attended upon the part of the prisoner, and said they had known him about two or three years ago as a respectable man, doing business in the name of Williams. The Lord Mayor committed the prisoner to Bridewell for 21 day*. BOW-STREET. Mr. Acton, of Queen Anne-street, waited upon Mr. Jardine, to ascertain if the New Hackney Carnage Act enabled a cabdriver, who was hired by time, to charge 2s. for the fraction of an hour. The applicant stated that having hired a cabman for one hour, he had °erasion to detain him • few minutes over the time. Ile consequently gave him 2.e. Bd.—that is, 2s. for the hour, and Gil. for the overtime, which, being within fifteen minute., was all, he conceived, that the driver was eatitled to charge for. The man, however, demanded 45., on the ground that, when engaged by the hour, drivers can claim 2s for every fraction of time exceeding the hour. He (Mr. Acton) was rather startled at this interpretation of the act, but, being in ignorance on the point, thought it best to pay the demand, and apply to his worship for information upcn the subject. Mr. Jardine was of opinion that the cabman was right.' On looking at the schedule of the act it was clear that a cabman, hired by time, could claim an additional two shillings, if detained even for a minute only beyond the hour. The only doubt that could arise might have been suggested by the term, of the 4th section, which admits of a division of the time, and directs • payment of sixpence for every stoppage of fifteen minutes; but this section only referred to fares by distance, and was intended for the protection of cabmen, who, being engaged by the mile, might be detained at intervals during the hiring. There could be no splitting of the hour under the now act where the hiring was by time. Mr. Acton—The feet is, then, that I am bound to pa 41. under the new act, instead of le. Bd. (or at the most 3a) under the old act. (A laugh.) Mr. Jardine—l am afraid that is so. Mr. Acton said his only object in making this application was to put the public on their guard. Ile, in common with so many others, had derived a great deal of useful in formation upon the subject from reading the polite reports, but this was a point he had not yet seen mooted. He hoped the ta Lrees would take notice of it for the benefit of the WORSHIP-STREET. Caroline Harr's, a neatly dressed child, who was stated to be only e: ght years of age, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hammill, charged with having uttered two counterfeit shillings. The child offered the base coin to a tradesman it pay. went fiir brandy. When the fr►ud was discovered the prosecutor hastened after the prisoner and found her at the corner of the street in conversation with a well dressed woman, who started off as soon as he made his appearance. The prisoner also darted away with the rapidity of a deer in an opposite direction, but alter a sharp chase extending over at least half a mile, be at length overtook her and gave her into custody. On being questioned by the magistrate, the prisooer, with an appearance of truthful simplicity, repeated her form, r statement that she had received both the shillings from her mither, who •was the wife of a hair dresser in comfortable circumstances, residing in Caroline•street, Hackney-road. The constable who took the girl into custody was directed by the magistrate to proceed with her to the above address to request the immediate attendance of her parents, but lie reported on his return that no such persons were known in the street, and that ho had been unable to obtain any in formation whatever respecting the prisoner. Mr. !lemma! said it was perfectly obvious that the pri , lamer had fallen into the hands of designing persons, who had employed her as a tool for their criminal purposes, and notwithstanding his reluctance to commit a child of such tender years •o prison, he felt it his duty to remand her to afford en opportunity for the detection and,apprehension,of her more wily contederates. SOUTHWARK. Charles Thomson, a respectable looking young man, was charged with intirmarrying with Constance Mary Nolin, his first wife being then and now alive. The second wife, a young woman with en infant in her arms, stated that in the early part of 18.19 she became ac quainted with the prisoner in the city of Norwich, and they kept up a continual correspondence until October, when they were married at the Superintendent Registrar's-office in Norwich. She afterwards came up to London with the prisoner, and they lived very comfortable together until lately,when he took it into his head to beat her and treat her in • cruel warner. She could not live with him any longer, and she was induced to give him into custody on the pre vious day, being aware that his first wife was living. When she married him he told her that he was married, and that hs wu net comfortable. Mr. A'Beckett—Then you married him with your eyes open, well knowing that your marriage could not be legal? Prosecutor—He told me his first wife was nothing to him, and he wanted me to elope with him. I thought it was alt right, therefore I consented to be his wife, end we were married in a room at Norwich shortly afterwards. Prisoner—l acknowledge having a wife when I married the prosecutris. She and my first wife were in the room at the time with some friends, and a mutual agreement took place between us, and we were married by the Super intendent Registrar.—The prisoner was remanded. TILE CORN TRADE. Intelligence affecting the corn trade being at pre sent invested with extreme interest, we annex an extract from the circular issued yesterday evening by Mr. 0. Dorn busch. The views of the writer respecting the crops at home and abroad, and foreign supplies, are en many respects striking The weather now reigns supreme on the corn market, even the portentous limo-Turkish question varnishes in the background. The weather during the last eight days was changeable and cool for the season, with a preponderance of wet, and on the whole unfavourable to the growing crops. In addi tion to the backwardness of the season—to the smallness of Ilse breadth of wheat-sown-ground—to the floods and storms during the wheat-blooming period—we now hear of red rust, blight, and mildew, and insect in the wheat plant, as a consequence of the late humidity, and most accounts agree in representing the standing crop of wheat in this country as one of the worst seen for many years. Barley and oats present a fair appearance, though the let. heavy rains have laid the crops in many fields. Turnips appear well. The accounts relating to the hay harvest are dis,ressing, whole fields of bay were swept clean by the late floods ; the price of hay has since risen nearly 60 per cent. Potatoes in England are reported to show unmistakeable symptoms of extensive disease, but it is yet beyond human prevision to see the extent to which the blight is likely to spread. In Scotland the crops are reported light, and therefore net much injured by the late rains ; the retarding ripening process is the thief cause of complaint there. From Ire land the accounts respecting the growing crops are on the whole favourable ; although a considerable quantity of rain had fallen, the potato fields are described generally in good condition, and only in partial cases the disease is spoken of. The opinion is that this season it will be less violent and more circumscribed than in former years. The latest accounts from abroad confirm that France is likely to want this year a large importation of foreign corn. The government has provisionally suspended th e prohibi tion to import from any European British possessions grain, the produce of a foreign country (for instance, Polish Odessa wheat from England). The price of wheat has already risen in France to a height which will reduce, on the 6th August, the import duty of foreign wheat in the north of France to the minimum, that is, to 25e. per hec tolitre (about Eid. per quarter). The accounts respecting the ....Its of the present harvest in Italy state, that in thrashing the wheat, only half a crop is found, and in some parts even less; hence, priors of grain have risen lately in most Italian markets from 20 to 30 per cent., and upwards. The Indian corn plant, which in Italy forms one of the chief articles of the people's food, and ripens later than the wheat, is now suffering from want of rain, and should also this crop fail, theu, indeed, the consequence must be very disastrous. The crops in the north and south-east of Europe are, on the whole, with few exceptions, satisfacto ril spoken of. The supplies of home-grown corn appear sparingly in our markets. From abroad, the arrivals into London continue to a fair extent, the bulk from the south of Europe. Off the coast there have been this week numerous arrivals, making a total, from the 15th June to 25th July, of 6.52 cargoes, which constitute the greatest part of the Mediter ranean spring shipments. It is probable that soon the sup plies from the south of Europe will fall off considerably, on account of the few shipments made since May, in conse quence of the war rumours and the excessive high freight. About 225. per quarter has been paid for wheat at Galata. 15s. at Odessa, Ca. at Dantaig, for the United Kingdom, The excitement of Mark-lane at the commencement of last week spread over all the country, and caused an almost general rise of 2s. to 3s. per quarter of wheat. ELOPEMENT. We noticed in our lut week's paper that an officer of the 35th Regiment had run off with the wife of a baronet, residing in the north of Devon, under circum stances of a very disgraceful character. We regret to state that there is no doubt of the truth of the statement; the officer is Captain Berkeley, of the above-named regiment, and hie unfortunate companion in guilt Lady Wrey, wife of Sir Bourchier Wrey. It appears that this man is now with his regiment, and still wearing her Majesty's uniform, though it is currently reported that he will be obliged to leave the army : and the lady, it is said, is in London. The North Devon Jounsal of the 14th inst. in noticing the dis graceful circumstance, says Sir Bourchier Wrey, Bart., has recently been staying at his marine residence in Barnstaple. For some few weeks put, Captain Berkeley, of the 30th, son of Sir George Berkeley, had been visiting at the house of the honourable baronet, whose hearty hospitality is only surpassed by high-minded and uasuspecting candour. This town became agitated on Friday with the startling end pitiful intelligence that this guest of the hon. baronet's— the man who had been receiving his hospitalities—had taken the opportunity of domestic intercourse thus afforded to him, to draw from her conjugal duty the wife of his friend ; that she had, in fact, that morning eloped with her I paramour. They drove off, it would appear, about half past one that morning, to Barnstaple, and from thence to I the Tiverton station of the Great Western Railway. Their course from this point we are not curious to trace. Teat this lady should have left in such a manner, and for such a man, a home replete with all the earthly good that earthly wealth can furnish, a husband dotingly fond of her, and without a shadow of the causes usually assigned in such cases, is an aberration of conduct only to be charitably covered by a verdict of temporary insanity. Report says that already has the dreadful hallucination passed away, and reconciliation been sought. We give, of course, sim ply report, but it is highly probable that such is the ease, as we know that such must be the course the moment the mind recovers its equilibrium. Sir Bourchier returned that UM, evening to Tawstock Court.—rlymoath Herald. DIVIsIONs IN • RAILWAY COMPANY: We (Wol verAamptox Chronicle) hear that on Saturday morning last Mr. Ackroyd, of Stourbridge, and Mr. George Robinson, solicitor, of this town, while comparing a list of the proprie tarylof the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Company with the transfer books, made discoveries of a nature which induced them to hare the books sealed up, and which, it is said, are likely to cause a further resort to legal proceed ings. On Monday morning Mr. Geach, who is a director of the company, Mr. It. Scott, Mr. Ackroyd, Mr. Collis, and Mr. G. Robinson, met at the company's offices, and demanded that the books should be delivered to them, as they said, for further examination. Mr. Bill, Mr. Joseph Walker, and Mr. Knox were, we hear, at the offices in the course of the morning, and the further inspection of the books was refused by Mr. Knox, no order from the board of directors for that purpose haying been obtained, and without this order the inspection could not, it was alleged, be permitted. In consequence, Mr. Geach and his friends sent for Mr. Hunter, foreman to Messrs. Chubb and Sons (who required a written indemnity), and directed him to open the safe containing the key of the closet in which the books were kept. This was done, and the safe containing the books opened. The books were at first deposited with the police, but afterwards transmitted to London. Colonel nogg and some of his officers were called in, in order to prevent any breach of the peace. This remarkable proceeding has given occasion for many rumours. _ • TIIE ROYAL DOCKYARD CORPS. DEPTFORD, JULY 27.—The drill of the Deptford brigade of this corps ceased for the season on Tuesday last, when the infantry battalion, under the command of Major Moucbet (store keeper), was paraded for inspection, and afterwards cm.- plead in the drills with carbines, at the field batteries, and garrison guns, in the presence of the Colonel Commandant of the Brigade (Captain Superintendent George B. Martin, C. 8.). The artillery battalion, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Pears (master attendant), was inspected by the Colonel Commadaal on the moires day. MARKETS.

General Post-office, July, 1653.
