Henry Buckle and his wife, Caroline Buckle, were brought from Ilford Gaol for re-examination on charges of receiving goods which had been stolen from trains on the Great Eastern Railway. The male prisoner has already been committed on charges of receiving stolen property, and both were remanded to complete other cases. The female prisoner was now committed for being concerned in the robbery of two ostrich feathers and a syphon enema, which were proved to have been stolen while in the care of the railway company. A fresh charge was gone into against the pri loners, that of being concerned in the robbery of some pairs of stays, and on the application of the police they were remanded. The prisoners were accordingly taken back to Ilford. The wife, who appeal s to have been respectably brought up, seemed to be much affected. FATAL FIRE IN SPITALFIELDS. INOTTEST.—(THIS DAY.) This morning Mr. Humphreys, the Middlesex *Honer, held an investigation at the Black Eagle Tavern, Spite!fields, into the origin of a tire at No. 6, Pelham street. by which Robert Dukes, aged 18 years, lost his life, and Nicholas Simlick was seriously if not fatally injured. The jury viewed the body of the decased, which waa literally reduced to a cinder. William Dukes, 6, l'elham-street, Spitalfields, said that the deceased was his brother, and he lived with wa rless at 6, Pelham-street. The ground floor of the work shop attached to that house was occupied by Mr. Siinlick, a match-boxmaker. On Tuesday morning last at half-past 6 o'clock, while sleeping in the same room as the deceased, he was awoke by loud cries of " Fire !" He and the deceased jumped up, and they found the two story workshop to the rear of the house in flames. Being anxious to save the property of Mr. Lucas, the occupier of the upper floor, who was their stepfather, they both, de ceased and witness, went into the building and began to throw some of the furniture out. The heat and the smoke income so great that witness to save himself had to get oat at the window. He believed that his brother intended to do the same, but was overpowered by the fire before he could do so. The deceased was a carver by trade. The Ire originated to all appearance on the ground floor. After other evidence, T he jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death by WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) THURSDAY, NOYEMBER 1&, 8 A.M. ,V.

Simpson) the schooner Margaret Caldwell, of this place, was at anchor in the Skerries Roads, when the banme Cariven, of Londonderry, running for the same anchorage, got foul of her, and carried away the jibboom and cutwAer. Both vessels commenced to drag, and the schooner showed signals of distress. The life boat Zelinda, of the National Lifeboat Institution, was thereupon promptly launched, and on arriving alongside the vessels found that their anchors had fouled. The life boat put some of her crew board the barque, and they assisted in hauling up the chain cable from the locker, as the crew of the barque were unfit to do the work, being quite exhausted. The lifeboat rendered other efficient help to the barque, and then boarded the schooner, anti at the requ es t o f h er crew o f s i x men th e lif e boat brought them safely to land, after having secured the vessel as well es possible. The scene on shore when the schooner was observed to be dragging her anchors and drifting on a lee More, was very exciting, as the master end all the men anon Fed to Portrush, and the cries of their wives, mothers, and sisters were heartrending in the extreme. THE EXPRESS, trituRSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 15, 1866. WEST GLOUCESTERSHIRE ELECTION. (THIS DAY.) (M =craw TILIOZAPH.) This morning the Attorney-General, Sir J. Rolt, Was re-elected for West Gloucestershire without oppo sition. LONDON AND SOUTH AFRICAN BANS. (THIS DAY.) The half-yearly meeting of the directors was held at noon at the London Tavern ; Colonel JAMES HOLLAND in the chair. The following report or circular was submitted by the directors to the shareholder; : " The directors beg to submit herewith the audited balance-sheet and profit and loss account for the half-year ending the 30th June, 1866. Notwithstanding the depressed state of trade in the South African colonies, the profits of the half-year enable the director, after carrying 5,0001. to the amount held against previous losses, to make a payment to the shareholders of per share, or at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, in an of the yearly dividend. The directors regret that so little progress this been made in realising the assets in the various insolvent estates, it being thought injudicious to preen sales until • sh. further improvement in the colony has taken place. The shareholders will observe that since the publication at. of the balance-sheet to the 31st December last, the depo sits have been reduced by 105,1971. 3a 11d. This arises „ o ° s solely from the director' having declined to renew deposit receipts at ahigher rate than five per cent., being convinced that • large amount of borrowed money cannot, in addition M. to their capital, be safely employed at the preeent time. 100 The hills under discount have been diminished by a cor- 100 responding amount. The liabilities o f the ban k have ?,!.- thus been materially reduced, whilst, in the opinion of the directors, its position has been ag. strengthened. No lose whatever has occurred to St. the bank through the recent financial crisis in 84. London. The colony is gradually recovering from the late 1 .11. commercial embarrassments . , . sonents, and it is believed that the "‘t improved state of affairs will induce a renewal of nierean st tile transactions of a safer and more satisfactory character 8.. than has lately prevailed." From a statement of accounts which accompanied the 8$ foregoing circular, it appeared that the paid-up capital 8 1- was 500,000/. ; that the deposits amount to 343,2861. ; that the revenue fund amounts to 18,1811. ; and that the gross profit during the half-year ending on the 30th June last et was 35,7771. at. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said he had M. but little to add to what was contained in thecircular. He 90 - did not pretend to say that the statement presented was of l i tt a perfectly satisfactory character. The financial crisis to which had recently prevailed bad been as severely to felt in South Africa as in any other quarter ; 100 bat there were unmistakeable signs that the lie clouds were disappearing, and that the usual ac- 10 tivity of business was returning. There was one unfa vourable circumstance in their present tion, namely, st that the overdue bills, which at the period of the last meet. 26 ing amounted to 130,0001., new reached the sum of 144,0001., at. But overdue bills were not necessarily all bad bills, and 8t the directors bad set aside on the:. account a sum of 31 . 80,000 E, which if no unexpected difficulties arose would be sufficient to meet the total amount s t. under that head. It was fair to state that a large a portion of the assets put down as good would have to be 11 obtained from dividends on bankrupt estates, but the 16 investigations made justified the directors in anticipating to satisfactory results. They were enabled to declare but a small dividend on this occasion •, but prospects were et . brightening and he hoped that when they next met the Bt, state of things would have improved. 81. Mr. HODKENSON. after criticising the balance-sheet, pro- 66 posed an amalgamation with the Standard Bank of British at Bt. South Africa. So The 'notion having been seconded, 9t. Mr. PARAVICINI moved, and Mr. CHURCH seconded an is amendment that it was not desirable that any such sing- St. cremation should take place. 10 After some discussion the amendment was put and car ried by a large majority. A dividend of Bs. per share was then declared, and the proceedings terminated with a cordial vote of thanks tothe chairman and his colleagues. Ll* THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY. Yd. I MAILWAfg. MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS.—(THIS DAY.) This afternoon, in accordance with the resolu- S► tion passed at a private meeting of shareholders in the 31 . Great Eastern Railway Company, held at t h e instance kr of Mr. John S. Weare, on the 7th inst., a larger meet- 20 ing of assenting shareholders invited by that gentleman et, took place at the London Tavern, "for the purpose of fit. forming a Great Eastern Railway shareholders' defence 100 association, and of appointing a committee of 100 shareholders, and for other purposes connected rog therewith." The circular describes as follows No the objects sought to be attained—" To obtain for 100 every shareholder without partiality that information 100 about his affairs which is necessary to enable him to 100 form his own opinion on questions where he is re- 1 00 sponsible as master for the profit and loss. .To encourage observation and reflection among the proprietors on what 20 I means are calculated to rescue and improve their pro- la perty ; and by correspondence on these questions, to find R. among themselves the men best qualified for seats on the St direction. To bring all abuses which demand correction, s t , and all sensible suggestions for the improvement of the 20 1 property, under the attention of the directors." 100 The CElAlitliaN (Mr. Weare), by whom the meeting was too convened, opened the proceedings with some remarks in re- to ' lation to the object. The movement had, he said, already re- U. calved the support of GOO shareholders, representing 44, 1,500,000/. of stock, this being the response to two letters t,i, addressed by him to the shareholders. He had not com- 50 menoed the movement for the purpose of agitation, but 10a simply to secure for the shareholders that information 100 to which they were entitled, and to restore the credit of st. the company. The late speech of the chairman st of the company was sufficient to destroy any- St one 'a confidence in him, especially on accouut qt of the instability of his opinions in reference to dividends, st which he hail now postponed to an indefinite period. The question of dividends was left in the air for five years hence. The working expenditure was unjustifiably high, and this had helped to depreciate the stock, while the attempt to - obtain three-and-a-quarter millions of additional capital which could not be successful, had further damaged the company. The shareholders had a right to know why the agreement with this Great Northern Company was broken off. It was their interest to get to the north, and the liability which would have been incurred for that purpose was only about 50,0001. a year. The Great Northern net revenue in the last year was 430,000/., a large portion of which arose from London coal traffic in which the Great Eastern Company might participate. All secresy should be done away with, and, together with that, the abuse of the free-pass system, which he believed was greater on the Great Eastern than on any other line. He read a letter from Mr. Thomas Ridley, chairman of the London and North-Western Shareholders',Defence Association, in favour of the course pursued by the chairman. Mr. Serjeant SPINKS moved the following resolution : " That this meeting, having heard the explanations of Mr. Weare and other gentlemen, is of opinion that an association should be forthwith formed consisting of such shareholders of the Great Eastern Railway Company as shall be willing to join the same, and that such association shall be called " The Great Eastern Shareholders' Defence Association."

The funds continue in demand, and have attained a fresh rise of 4 per cent, but English railway stocks and foreign bonds are rather dull. Banking and financial shares are neglected. General Credit have declined 55., not- 1 withstanding the favourable character of the report I just issued by the directors. The transactions ge nerally are limited, attention being almost exclu sively directed to the completion of the fortnightly settlement. The demand for discount to-day is very moderate and the rate for choice bills is still 3/ per cent. The directors of the Bank of England, at their I weekly court just held, have decided to make no change in the rate of discount for the present. No alteration was expected to-day, although it is stated that the accounts of the establishment present a further improvement. Consols are now quoted 90 to 1, cum div., for money, and 881 to 1, ex div., for the account (6th December). Foreign securities are offered for sale, and show a drooping tendency. Turkish of 1865, Greek, Spanish Passive, and Italian of 1861 have receded 1 to per cent. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 58 to 59 ; ditto, 1865, 321 to 1 ; Greek, 131 to 14; Spanish Passive, 211 to 4; ditto Certificates, 14 to 1 ; Italian of 1861, 541 to ; Mexican, 171 to 181.

A memorandum from the committee of Confede rate Bondholders states that they are actively engaged in bringing their claims to the atten tion of government, with a view to a consid. - ration of them, as against or in common with those of the American government, in relation to the Alabama and other claims. About 20,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for Alexandria. This is the only amount taken out for exportation during the week, while 77,0001. has been sent in during the same period. The Allemania, from New York, has brought 26,0001. in specie fur England. The directors of the General Credit and Finance Company of London (Limited) yesterday issued the expected report to the shareholders. The expose of the position of the company contained in 811 it appears to be a frank one, and ought to be re ceived with satisfaction by those interested, if only on account of the improved position of affairs which it describes by contrast with the valuation put upon the company's property by the current quotation in the Stock Exchange. The shares have improved to-day, yet the present quo tation of 11 diadount represents on 250 , 000 sha res an assumed loss of no less than 375,0001. of the company's capital ; and if to this be added the 175,0C0/. of reserve, a total loss of 550,0001. is indi cated ; whereas the directors state that they feel themselves justified in considering the share ca pital intact. But this is not all. The General Credit Company is judiciously made to follow the example of the numerous companies which have deemed it advisable to defer to the universally ex pressed wish of the shareholding body for a reduction in the nominal liability on the shares. It is understood that the arrrangc ments proposed with this object have met with more than usual deliberation on the part of the board. The liabilities to the public have been Drought within satisfactorily small limits, while, as regards the largest item in the list of assets, viz., the 282,661?. of " bank and mercantile bills in portfolio," it is said that they are of so good a class as to be almost equivalent to cash. It will also be noticed that the company, when reconsti tuted, will hold itself open to tr:uisact discount business, for which a good field seems to be now presented. In future the meetings are to bo held half-yearly. An extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders is convened for the 27th inst., at the London Tavern, to sanction the proposed arrangements. A petition for the winding up of the Bank of Hindustan, China, and Japan (Limited), under the supervision of the Court of Chancery, was pre sented on Tuesday, and is to be heard before \ ice- Chancellor Stuart on the 23rd inst. As may be inferred from the fact of its being presented by Mr. Joseph Mackrill Smith, the chairman of the Company, the petition is a friendly one, and de signed to protect the company's property in the common interest. Vice-Chancellor Stuart has to , day appointed Messrs. Arthur Cooper, Frederick Maynard, and David Chadwick to be provisional official liquidators. At the meeting of the Merchant Shipping Com pany held yesterday resolutions were passed in favour of the proposed plan for diminishing the liability of the shareholders. An extraordinary meeting of the new City Club Company was held yesterday, when the following resolutions were passed unanimously : 1. That the qualification of new members of the club of the company be the payment to the company of the sum of 311.5,., to he appropriated as follows :—For entrance fee, 26/. ss. ; for one fully paid-up share in the company, N., and the acceptance on allotment of such one share. 2, That the annual subscription for all present and future members of the club shall be as follows :—For town members, 9 guineas ; for country members, 5 guineas. Subsciiptions at these rates to be paid on the lst of January, 18417.

Her 'Majesty will, it is said, in Dublin shortly confer the honour of a baronetcy on the Right lion. Joseph Napier, and he will be swore in one of her Majesty's Privy Council in England. It is believed that Lord Weatbiny and the new baronet will conduct the business of the Judicial Committee of that right hon. body. ALRAMBRA.—The lobbies, staircases, and saloons in front of the building have been entirely reconstructed with the view of providing for the increased adety and comfort of the public. In addition to te e/ great centre' entrance, two new side entrances, righ a left of the centre, Dave been made, each leading into a spacious crush-room elegantly furnished. From these crush-rooms on the ground floor spring two new aznl noble fireproof s t a ircases le ,ding to a large lobby on the level of the " reserved seats " just below the first balcony. These staircases formerly descended into the pit of the house—an objectionable arrangement. On th is lobby is fi xed one of the glove bazaars. The staircases arc continued from this lobby, right and left, leading to the first balcony. At the back of this balcony a new saloon, 100 feet long, has been erected, which differs from theatrical saloons rne-ally in thia respect, that from one half—the centre half—of its pro menade, a splendid view of the stage can be obtained. The new supper-room on the ground floor has been elaborately decorated ; the lavatory a rrangements above and below ground have been perfected, the heavy chandelier in the dome has been removed, and that part of the building is no w lighted by a graceful ring of arabesque lights and a email but effective central light, planned and fitted by Mr. Weston. The architectural alterations and decorations have been executed by Mr. Chaffin, under the direction of Mr. Rowley, the architect of the Alhambra Company. The new entrances and exits enable an audience of 4,000 to leave in one minute. The auditorium ban been completely re covered with 600 yards of new Brussels carpet and an almost equal quantity of linoleum. On the stage, two new drop curtains and proscenium borders, painted by Mr. W. Callcott in the Moorish style, have been added to the other scenic attractions of the building. Tullork,- wring, the new Scotch ballet, is the eighth ballet that has been produced at the Alhambra &inns the present year, and the scenery of one of these ballets, by Mr. Call oott, has been sold to the 'Proprietors of the Porte St. Martin Theatre, in Paris, and is now being nightly repre sented in the Parisicas a Losdrea.
