SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. - - EGHAM RACES.-TUNIDAY. The Egbam meeting was only lately one of the most Mirsecond-class meetings of the metropolitan circuit, was favoured yesterday with brilliant weather and large crowds of pleasure people. Professional racing men Lad all enjoyment marred by the utter mismanagement observable in all deportment& The races were tediously delayed, the hoisting of the numbers was scandalously con ducted, and the weighing room was the scene of such con fusion as might only have been expected at places of sport where the reward of the winning horses' was a saddle or a bridle. Admiral Rosa did all in his power to mend matters but could not turn the tide of disorder, which had made the whole thing a mere shipwreck.

Ancha Reeves, aged 19, a servant, was placed in the dock before Mr. Ingham, charged with stealing 61b. of loaf sugar, N and 61b. of moist sugar_, value ss. 3d., the property of Mr. W. F. Windham, of O. 3t, Upper Weetbourne.terrace, n. Pa r. n tyre, from the office of Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Martin for the prisoner. . . . It appeared froin the evidence that the prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Windham as housemaid for two months. On Monday, Mr. Chattel!, of Upper Seymour-street, who bad served the prosecutor with grocery for the last three months, sent some goods to Mr. Windham's house, among which were the two parcels of sugar. On the same day a little girl, who worked for Mr. Windham's charwoman, went to the house to inquire for her mistress, and the prisoner answered her. She also told the girl to wait, and brought up the arra steps the two parcels of sugar, old gave them to her, requesting her at the same time to fetch a cab. The girl, thinking something was wrong, declined to go for • cab, and remained outside with the sugar. Mr. Windham bad his attention drawn to the transaction, and he called • con stable, who went to the girl and took the sugar from her. Mr. Windham informed the constable that be had dis charged the prisoner. He gave her into custody, and the prisoner told the officer that she had ordered the sugar of • grocer to take home to her father, and that she always took him something when she went home as a present, and he returned it twofold whenever she left her situation. At the station a large bunch of keys was found in her pocket, and she afterwards stated Mrs. Windham gave them to her to throw away. Mr. Payne said the keys opened every place in the house, and that since the charge had been given other things had been missed. prisoner The said Mrs. Windham never locked up any thing from her. She also said that when Mrs. Windham went to the theatre she never locked her jewel box, and if she (the prisoner) had wished to be a thief she had every opportunity of being one before. She denied having been discharged, and said she gave notice to leave. Mr. Chattell was called to prove that he sent the two parcels of sugar as part of the order for Mr. Wiodham. Mr. W. F. Windham stated that hie wife engaged the prisoner about two months ago. He had had suspicion of her. One of his servant, informed him that two parcels had gone out of the house, and he then called a constable. Since the prisoner bad been taken into custody he had made an examination of his honor, and had mimed plate, and a murk. bar ,of different things. The keys found upon the prisoner opened his plate chest and the di ff erent drawers in his wife • room. Among them was a duplicate key of his cellar, from which he had missed wine. Croes-eiuunined—l behave the prisoner acted as lady's maid to my wife u well as being housemaid. I never inter fere with the women-servants. The prisoner was in the habit of ordering grocery and other things for the house. Mr. Martin-31re. Windham was very kind to her. I behave she gave her agold watch. Windham—A watch worth 61. 10n, foe which I paid. She win a great deal too kind. . _ Mr. Ingam (looking at the keys) —I must remand the prisoner for a week. I shall not accept bail. HAMPSTEAD. Mark Woodward, dressed is a very clean smock frock, and whose jolly looking appearance gave him the look of a country farmer of former days, was charged before Mr. J. Marsh and Mr. R. Prance with being • begging.letter impostor. Francis Bowden, abarrister, residing at No. 5, Well walk, Hampstead, deposed—On Thursday last, a little before 9 o'clock, the prisoner came to my house, and asked if Mrs. Bowden was at home. Being informed she was, he (the prisoner) gave the servant • begging petition, and a book with • lung list of names purporting to have subscribed to it. Among the names were those of Mies Tallemache, Colonel C. Doherty, and Admiral Leigh. The petition was—" Kind ladies and Gentlemen—l have had my stable broken into, and my horse lamed and disabled from work. It will be more Christian feeling to let him rest than to work him when not able, and one horse dead. The smallest donation will be thankfully received in the time of need, and the Lord Ihe will return you double reward." I took the book and petition to prisoner, and said, " What is all this about r He said, " I have been a greengrocer." I said, "Where do you some from r I understood him to reply, " Not many miles away." I told him I was about to leave home then, but if be would call in the morning I would see what could be done for him. This morning prisoner called again,. and said his horse was out at mass, and gave me so many different accounts, that I was confirmed in my first impression of his being an im postor, and gave him into custody of a mendicity officer, whom I had sent for. James Fryer, an officer of the Mendicity Society—l went to Mr. Bowden's by appointment this morning and appre hended the prisoner. On the way to the station prisoner wanted me to have some brandy. On searching him I found 3/. 10s. in gold, and 3s. 6d. in silver. On coming to the Petty Seasion House prisoner offered me one pert of the money, if I would let him off. Inspector Webb, S division, said he had ascertained prisoner bad been in Hampstead five days, at a very re spectable tavern, where he bad passed himself off as a retired farmer, living on his means, and travelling about from place to place for pleasure ; that his conduct at his lodgings was everything which might be expected of a man power ing very comfort►ble means. Mr. Bevis, landlord of the King of Bohemia, where pri soner had been lodging, corroborated Mr. Webb, and said that the other night prisoner was annoyed because he could not have a bot beefsteak and potatoes for supper. Mr. Webb applied for a remand, as he had no do THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 27, 1862. THE MURDER OF A POLICEMAN AT ASHTON. The case was renamed yesterday, when, after additional evidence. Mr. Digby Seymour roes to address the jury on behalf of Ward and Hipwell. The learned gentleman said that sal. dour had • jury in St. George's Hall been called to thread their weary way through such contradictions and difficulties as the case for the prosecution presented. He bad watched the case carefully to see how the Attorney-General would prove the facts alleged ; and was bound to say that the learned gentleman had signally failed to prove his allegations. The Attorney-General had said that if • number of men went with a common consent to perform some unlawful deed, all were guilty ; but Mr. Seymour besought the jury to consider carefully whether they would consign to death men who, though combined for one purpose not lawful, had no hand in the murder perpetrated. The eight men who had spoiled the bricks, under the influence of that foolish excitement which machine-made bricks had engendered, were returning quietly, without any murderous intention, when the police came into collision with them. Those officers in the exercise of their duty laid hands on one of the party, and after that a scuffle ensued, when the mischief and murder were done. The learned gentleman admitted that the heel-print was that of Ward, and produced a placard blued by the police immediately after the murder. On that placard it was stated that a person (not two) had fired twice, and by one of those shots the officer was killed. Then the prosecution spoke of a murderer, and used the singular number ; now the plural was adopted. There was no evidence, the learned conned contended, against Ward as to anything more than the assault upon Harrop. Mr. Seymour did not deny that Ward had taken the course alleged, but he had a right to say it was likely that a man who had been engaged in an encounter with the police would wish to escape as quickly as possible, but that did not prove that his client was the perpetrator of the crime alleged. The learned gentleman then went through the evidence adduced by the prosecution, dwelling with great earnestness on what he designated its discrepancies. On the confession of Johnson, Mr. Seymour animadverted severely, and blamed Superintendent Pickering in going beyond his province in receiving the statement of that pri soner while he was bordering on delirium tremens ' from a long-continued debauch. In speaking on behalf of Hipwell, the learned couosel contended that there was no reliable evidence before the jury is to anything manacling = in relation to the murder of Jump. Mr. Seymour's occupied about an hour and half. Mr. Tory, after a short adjournment of the court, rose to speak on behalf of Michael Burke. After • lengthened exordium the learned gentlen.an began to analyse the evi dence adduced against Burke. The main facts of the case were glanced at by the learned gentleman, and he drove to chew that the object of the prisoner in bearing arms and bludgeons was to defend themselves from any in t/Throws with their purpose of destroying the bricks in Clifford's field. The men were passing along • public road, and the officer had no right to arrest men under circum. stances spoken to by the prosecution. Even if Harrop and Jump had known (which they did not) that the men in questionhad spoiled the 18,000 bricks, they had no right to arrest any of the men eogsged in that act, because 'polling bricks was only a misdemeanour, and not • crime for which a man is subject to apprehension, before a hearing in a ma gistrate's court had taken place. When the eight men were retiring from the brick-field, they indulged in • jocularity, which proved that they had no malicious intention ; but when they met with the unwarrantable interference of the officers they became irritated, and in a moment of passion an act might have been done, which, however, could not be construed into murder. Mr. Tory went on to show that there was no satisfactory evidence that Burke was the man who fired the shot that killed Jump. That statement which Burke bad made against himself was, the learned counsel said, " a thous of lies," which a das tardly spirit bad prompted him to utter with a view of saving his own life at the expense of his companions. The paper found in the bullet holes of the deceased man was, according to Hipwell's confusion, given by Burke to Ward, so that the shot which was supposed to cause death was not fired by Burke. . . . . Mr. Email' Jane* rose to deliver an address an behalf of Johnson, who was charged with harbouring Burke and Ward after the murder of Jump. It was stated by Burke that he went to Johnson's miler, and told Ward that Jump was dead, but there was no evidence that Johnson beard that announcement. He was drinking almost con. steely, and at the time in question was in such a morbid condition of mind as to prevent • due appreciation of the crime attributed to him. _ The learned judge commenced his summing up at 3.50. His lordship told the jury that the duty they had to dis charge was a most important one. Thu must not be led away by any speculative theories set up by learned counsel, but judge according to the evidence, and, regardless of consequences, do their duty as indi viduals. The law was, his lordship said, of Each a nature as to make all the persons agreeing to accomplish any act guilty of that act, although only one of the party should strike • fatal blow in furtherance of the common object. The learned judge then went most carefully through the evidence against each prisoner. The testimony of Barlow should be looked upon with caution ; the statements of the prisoners should also be looked upon as worthier against any person but tree who made them. The jury found Burke and Ward Guilty of murder, with a recommendation to mercy. Both were sentenced to death. Johnson was found Guilty of harbouring, and was sentenced to eighteen months' impneonment. Hipwell was Acquitted. prisoner bad been carrying on this s — yrtism of deception acme time part. • - _ .

PLYMOUTH, TOMBDAT. The structure destroyed here yesterday was a large framework of timber erected on the Shovel Bock in the Sound, to assist in constructing the foundation for the fort proposed:to be erected just inside the breakwater. This foundation is to be a massive piece of masonry, formed of large blocks of concrete made to dovetail in each other in courses faced with proportionate blocks of stone. also dove tailed together, and to be carried up to within a few feet of low water mark. Large works have been erected at Lairs on the border of the Cstwater, about threel miles from the site of the fort, for the preparation of these blocks of concrete and stone, which were to be taken out to the site all ready to be lowered into their places. For several months a large number, sometimes amounting to 190, have been employed in preparing the rock, and in February last the erection of the scaffolding that has been destroyed was commenced. It was to consist of a circle of piles driven in the rock round the foundation, the piles to be about 70 feet in length, and formed of balks' of timber bolted together with iron shoes ai inches Ignore , 1 and 3 feet in length ; th e piles supported by guys carri e d to Lewises ; suitable fasteninp also driven in the rock. Large pieces of timber, technically termed " longitudinals," to be &stoned a long scroes the piles as ties and braces. Along the top tramways to be laid for the trollies or travelling cranes, from which the blocks were to be lowered to their places in the foundation. Up to yesterday the piles had been driven, the guys secured, and the men were employed in laying the longitudinal', having reached to about the water's edge. At low water, stout 40 feet of the piles wars exposed to the action of the wind and waves, without having been consolidated by the courses of longitudinal', that were yet to be erected, and the tramways. A strong easterly wind prevailed, and at about low water some of the eastern piles and guys gave way, and almost a destruc tion of the whole of the rest of the structure within a few minuted was the consequence. The piles broke off, nearly all at their shoes, and floated to the surface. There were about seven men on them at the time of the accident, who fortunately all escaped with an immersion, and two of them being rather severely bruised. Mr. Brown, the foreman, also bad a narrow escape with an immersion, being in a pinnace, which was crushed and sunk by a falling pile. Another boat was also destroyed, but its occupants also escaped. By this aces. dent the laying of the foundation stone has been retarded at the earliest for several months. It was hoped to have been ready to have laid it on the coming birthday of the Prince of Wales. The contractors, Messrs. Lee sod Son, of London, are also heavy losers, the whole six months' labour having been sacrificed, in addition to the damage done to the materials.

HEALTH OP LONDON. It appears from the weekly return of the Registrar-Goneral that the deaths in London now exhibit that increase which is usually seen in the bills of mortality at this assure when diarrhea or summer cholera is a pre vailing comp laint. In, the week that ended last Saturday they rose to 1,254. If the deaths from epidemic cholera in the thirty-fourth week of the year 1854 are excluded from the returns on which • comparison is hued, it may be shown that the mortality of last week exceeded by 60 the average mortality of corresponding weeks in 1852.61, after correc tion of the latter is made for increase of population. In the first week of the current month the deaths from diarrhou were 89 ; in the second, 116 ; last week they were 123. A large proportion of these 12;3 cases occurred to infanta ; for yl5 deaths from diarrhoea were returned as having occurred to persons above three years of age. The disease wu fatal in 6 cases in the sub-district of St. John, Marylebone, in 6in the west sub-district of Islington, in 5 in the Milo-end Old Town west, in 8 in Poplar, and in 5 in the second sub-district, Waterloo-road. Besides the deaths referred to diarrbrea, 7 from "cholera" or " choleraic diarrheas" were returned, and these also were chiefly amongst children. A man, aged 36 years died at 374, Caledonian road, of " Dubai; cholera," alto; seven days' illness. A child, aged four months, died of "scurvy ; hydrocephalus since birth." There were 9 deaths in the week from small-pox, two of which were those of adults. Typhus and scarlatina were fatal in nearly equal numbers of cue', the former in 69, the latter in 68 ; diphtheria numbered 16 deaths ; measles de clined to 39. Lest week the births of 942 boys and 908 girls, in all 1,850 children, were registered in London. in the ten correapon ding weeks of the years 1832-61 the avenge number (c0r m,!4.).".!1+77.2: At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.803 in. The reading rose from 29.65 in. on Sunday to 30.04 in. on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 59.6 deg., which is 1.1 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years as determined by Mr. Glaisber). The highest day temperature was 74.8 deg. on Tuesday; the lowest night temperature wsa 46.8 deg. on Saturday. The range of the thermometer in the week was 28 deg. The mean daily range was 17.1 deg. The range on Sunday was 5.4 deg. ; on Tuesday it was 25.4 deg. The difference between the mean dew point temperature and air temperature was 3.5 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 89, complete saturation being represented by 100, which point was attained on Sunday. The wind was in the north on the first two days; afterward' in the south-west and west. Rain fell to the amount of 1.57 in., of which no lees than 1.27 in. fell on Sunday (the 17th). On that day there was rain almost without intermission till midnight. The ther mometer in the sun rose to 122.7 deg. on Tuesday. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thaw was 64 deg. ; the mean of the lowest was 61.8. deg. NARROW ESCAPE OF A LADY.—One day last week a lady, named Williamson belonging to Coventry, was rambling with some friends amongst the ruins of Kenilworth Castle, when she fell over a precipice into the gardens adjacent to the highest accessible portion of the ruins, from a height of about 50 feet. A s s h e d escen d e d , her as, which was extended by crinoline, caught in the ivy which grows so luxuriantly upon the walls of Kenil worth, thereby breaking to a great extent the force of the collision. On being taken up she was found to have sus tained bat little external injury. The Court of Assizes of the Seine tried on Satur day a man named Eapargiliere ' the keeper of • coff ee .b ouse on the Boulevard Sebastopol, on the charge of wilfully wounding, with intent to murder, a young man named Dodos, who bed formerly been in his employ as a waiter. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner was exceed ingly jealous of his wife, whom be suspected of an illicit connexion with Duclos ; and having, on the 18th June last, discovered in his wife's poesession • letter which she had written to Duclos, apparently making an appointment for • meeting, he determined to wreak his vengeance on the latter. For this purpose he engaged a room in a furnished hotel of the Bus des Bons-Enfanta, and sent a person to Duclos, to inform him that • lady wished for a short interview. Dudes went at the hone fixed, but he had no sooner entered the room than the prisoner struck him several blows on the head with a loaded cane, discharged a pistol at him, and stabbed him with a knife. The explosion of the pistol having given the alarm, two nta de ville forced an entry into th e room, and found lying insensible on the bed, having fainted away. He soon recovered, however, and explained what had occurred. Espargiliere was according) y arrested, bat protested that he had never intended to kill Dacha, he only wished to disfigure him ; and he repeated the same state ment in court. Mdme. Espargiliere was also examined as a witness ; she asserted that she bad never had any improper connexion with Ducks, sad that the letter was only to re quest the latter to calla her, as she wished him to enter their establishment again as a waiter ; but she admitted that the language of the letter was rather warmer than it ought to have been. The jury seemed to think so too, for they immediately brought in a verdict of not guilty, an d the court oared the prim*? to be set at batty. ALLEGED WILFUL DESTRUCTION OP SHIPS. Our readers may remember that about a week ago a person named Jamieson was committed for trial for ludo(' written a letter to • merchant named Buxton, in which he stated that he would expose their " joint vii/any" in connexion with the destruction of some ships, unless Buxton paid him • certain sum of money. The case excited considerable interest, u it was thought important disclo suree would be made when the trial came off at the arises. Yesterday the case came on for trial before the Hon. Mr. Liddell, Q.C., in the second Crown Court of the Liverpool Assizes. Mr. Bliss, Q.C. (attorney-general for the county), together with Mr. Ddghton, prosecuted .; and Mr. &'s Q.C. and Mr. Potter, defended the prisoner. It appeared th at the prisoner and prosecutor in the year 1857 were the,joint owners of a ship called the Roscoe, and that this vessel was lest during a voyage from Liver pool to Smyrna ; after which they purchased another vessel, the Merino, which was soon afterwards lost in the Torres Straits. The prisoner held a mortgage deed upon the Merino, which, after the loss of the vessel, the prisoner should have given up, but refused to do so, and actuallytook proceedings in the courts at Westminste r to recover money upon it from Buxton, but failed. After the loss of the Merino Buxton had no further dealings with the privatise ; but the • ner called upon him several times, and en dear to obtain money by threats and otherwise. Upon Buxton refusing to give the prisoner money on one occa sion, the prisoner said, "I will waylay you if I lose my head for it." After this the prisoner called several times at Buxton's office, but, failing to obtain any money, he did not again make his appearance until the 12th of August in the present year. On the 11th of this month he sent a letter to Mr. Buxton, in which be enclosed an advertisement cut from the Liverpool papers, which stated that 2001. would be paid and a free pardon given so any person or persons who should give such information es ' would lead to the conviction of fraudulent shipowners and others connected with the wilful destruction of ships, and in the letter be said, "Now, my intentions are that I must either have • settlement or I cannot lose the opportunity it (the advertisement) gives me of exposing oar villas y when you reaped all the reward." On the following day the prisoner called with another letter, which was as follows : " It is no use to mince matters : I am determined to proceed ' • therefore if you do not think it necessary to reply to this I will put it out'of my bands by 3 o'clock to-day." When Mr. Buxton received the first letter, he consulted hie soli citors, and the prisoner was requested to give an apology, but he refused to do cc, and, addressing Mr. Rextoc, he said, " By Buxton, unless you give me 150/. I will go to Major Creig (the chief constable of Liverpool) and swear you burnt the Roscoe." Mr. Buxton then gave the pri sooer into custody. When at the polioe-office he said he wished to see Mr. Kehoe, the chief superintendent, and when Mr. Kehoe came he made a statement to the effect that Buxton bad told him that if anything happened to the Roscoe not to bring her into port as it would be ruination to them, and that in previous voyages he had been ordered to bring the vessel in safe, as she was not sufficiently insured ; that Buxton had told him to " knock out the beams " of the ROllOO6, and if he could not do that to set her on fire ; and that for the pur pose of enabling him (Jamieson) to set the Roscoe on tire he had a quantity of turpentine put on board. He bad also been told by Buxton to " knock the beams out" of the Merino, and had been spoken to relative to obtaining good insurances. Mr. Buxton underwent • severe exa mination by Mr. Brett. He said that since 1858 he bad owned about eight ships, six of which had been lost, but were insured. He was a bankrupt in 1858, and had only paid his creditors 2s. in the pound. He had given a man named Bettie, the commander of a ship called the Howe, ' which was lost, 2001., but lie gave him the money because he had promised to insure some of his effects and had not done so, and also owed him souse commissions. Bertie bad never told him that he (Bertie) had a letter which be (witness) would not like anyone to see. The prisoner had always claimed money from him in respect to the mortgage upon the Merino, and had brought an action upon the covenant of the mortgage deed. He had five ships about a week ago, but since then he bad mortgaged three of them to his son. In answer to Mr. Bliss as to the reason why he mortgaged the ships, the witnees said he did so to secure his son against lose, as be was security for him in some business transactions. He be lievedthe Roscoe had &chronometer belonging tothe prisoner on board when she went to sea, and that the psi. sour had received insurance upon it. In examina tion by Mr. Bliss the witness said he had never given Bertie instructions to cant away the Howe, and the 2001. was not given as • reward for destroying the vessel. He had never given instructions to the captains to lose any of the ships. John Patrick, detective police officer, described Mr. Bar ton coming to the police station and laying the charge against Jamieson. He (the officer) went to Duke-street, and there charged Jamieson witbltaving scuttle° threatening letters. Jamieson replied, " Yee, I did send the two letters, but it was for money due to me by Mr. Buxton," and the officer then took him into custody. The learned Judge, in summing up, said, the question for the jury would be whether the letters were written for the purpose of extorting money, or for the purposing of obtain ing a settlement of a bona fide claim which the prisoner might have against Buxton. The Jury acquitted the prisoner. WRECKS ON THE BRITISH COAST. The Board of Trade return of the wrecks and casualties which occurred on and near the coats of the United Kingdom in 1861 bas just been published. From this report it appears that the number of casualties is greater than that reported in any of the preceding nine yeas, and 261 in excess of the annual average of the last six years. The numbers (exclusive of collisions) were, in 1857, 866; in 1858, 869 ; in 1859, 1,067 ; in 1860, 1,081; and in 1851, 1,171 ; and the increase is ascribed to a great extent to the gales of January, February, and November, in 'which alone there were 465 casualties, exclusive of collisions. The num ber of collisions, again, though slightly in mane of 1860, is under the number of 1859, the three years 1859, 1860, 1861 haviog the respective numbers 349, 298, aid 323; and on the whole the increase in the number of collisions is not proportionately so great as the increase of other casu alties. In the number of lives lost there is a large increase as compared with last year, mused by the gales of January, February, and November, which increased the number of casualties. In 1860 there were 536, while in 1861 there were 884, but this number is less than the numbers in 1854 and 1859. The comparatively small number of lives lost in 1860 and 1861 is owing chiefly to the absence of the loss of any large passenger ship oe the coasts. From a table appended, showing the force of the wind, it appears that nearly one-half of these casualties happened with the wind at and under force 8, or " fresh gale," or under circum stances in which a ship, if seaworthy, and properly manned and sound, ought to be able to keep the sea. Appended to the report are various other tables oompar ins past years with the present, and clarifying the casual ' ties in various ways. The most important of these shows the geographical distribution of the wrecks. According to this. the three most fatal districts are from the Fern Islands to Flamborough Head, from Flamborough Head to North Foreland, and &arras and Lembay to Fair Head and Mull of Cautire. In the former district, in 1861, there were 40 ships wrecked, with a tonnage of 5,129 tons, and 244 men ; and the loss was, totally wrecked, 31; partially, 9 ; and the number of lives lost, 147. In the second district the figures are—ships, 24 ; tonnage, 3,998 ; men, .189; total wrecks, 18 ; partial, 6 ; lives lost, 111. And in the third—ships, 28 ; tonnage, 5,832 ; men, 216 ; total wrecks, 22 ; partial, 6 ; lives lost, 1 4 4. This, in the et two districts, is greatly above the aver age of the last 12 years, which, for the one district, is 5510.12, and the other 89; but this is probably accounted for by the increase of the number of casualties to ships of the collier class, through the prevalence of N. and E. to B.E. winds. In the third district the average of the 12 ran, 1331-12, is but slightly exceeded. The number of lifeboats under the management of the National Lifeboat Institution has increased from 124 in 1856 to 179 in 1861, and as compared with 1860 the in ertias is six. The number of lifeboats under other manage ment was 59 as compared with 63 in 1860. Out of the whole number, 106 are subsidised by the Board of Trade direct, without the intervention of the institution ; and of those remaining 14 are maintained by the institution, and 54 by local bodim. During last year the Board of Trade and Admiralty have supplied the crews of some of the Coast-guard stations with Captain Ward's life-belts and Wellies, the use of which will diminish the risk they run in putting to sea. To the mortar and rocket apparatus sod lifeboats, as means for saving life, great credit a given ; and from a tabular statement of the lima saved by assist ance from the coast during the last seven years, it appears that the numbers have increased from 1,098 in 1855 to 1.516 in 1861. The sum paid to the Lifeboat Institution in 1861 is 2,8771.:8. 2d. The payments by the Board of Trade direct for rewards and gratuities and for services at wrecks amount to 1,2921. Is. ed. The expenses of maintaining the mortarand rocket apparatus is 2,2461. 6s. 4d., being a total payment of 6,415/. lls. for saving and endeavouring to save life during the year 1861. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.-011 Sunday last whilst five gentlemen were proceeding homewards from Twickenham towards Chelsea, in • four-oared cutter, the coxswain on raising himself in the boat missed his footing amid fell overboard, causing sanely a ripple on the water, sad neveragain rising to the surface. The name of the un fortunate deceased is Brown, for many years holding a clerk ship in the Merchant Seamen's Office, and at the time of the melancholy occurrence secretary of the New South Wales Emigration Society. His body has not yet been reco vered. He leaves a widow and large number of friends to deplore his untimely end. A letter from Verdieres (Var) relates the follow ing Waage and not very probable incident :—" A singular circumstance occurred hem on the Emperor's fife day. The mayor had organised a shooting-match, and offered a hand ' some double-barrelled gun as the prize. A good number of sportsman, legal and illegal, had entered their names to compete, but, alas ! none of them won the prize, for just as the sport was about to begin, a thunderstorm buret over the town and the lightning struck the target in the centre. On approaching the target after the storm, it was found that the gun (which had been set against it, wreathed with laurel) had disappeared, and that a few splinters of wood end frag ments of iron were all that remained. It would not be easy to describe the surprise and chagrin of the competitors in thus disoovering that an unexpected rival had stepped in and borne off the prize without waiting for the usual for. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. SBNT COAST. The tenth half-yearly meeting of this compaz was held yesterday st the Mee in Victoria-street, W Muster, Mr. E. J. }limos is the chair. _ _ report, which has already ai re r Cinntman mill he hail to congratulate the share holders on seeing something like a definite prospect of one of the most important lines that have ever been projected being carried out at an early period. The &Meters had made arrangements with Mean. Peto, Betts, and Cramp. ton for doubling the line between Herne Bay and doubling the hoe from Faversham. He had also to congratulate the shareholdtes that the clinician had been enabled to effect an arrangement with the Board of Trade for carrying out tramways to Baunagate her hour. This was an important matter, for it Ina has opinion that tramways would open a traffic to the harbour to an extent they could hardly contemplate. It was his count tion that those tramways would yield great profit to the company. The shareholders would have learned from the report that the works were proceeding satisfactorily. He could personally hear out that statement, having recently been over the line. If they had a mild and dry winter, he saw no reason why the line should not he opened in Sep tember, 1863, but at all events they would open the line to Margate by that date. He concluded by moving the adop tion of the report. The motion having been seconded, after some conversa tional discussion, was unanimously agreed to. Certain shares which had not been paid up in full were then declared forfeited. The meeting wee then made special, for the purpose of considering the propriety of rasing additional capital, required for the works about to be executed. The CHAIRMAN then moved " That, in pursuance of the powers panted by the Rent Coast Railway Act of 1136 X, the directors be empowered to create and issue new shares in the ordinary capital of the company to the amount of 964,0001., and also to borrow on mortgage, or otherwise, any sum not exceeding in amount &5,0031." The resolution was seconded and agreed to. A vote of thank' to the chairman concluded the pro ceedings. SEVENOAKS, MAIDSTONE, AND TUNBRIDGE. The sixth half-yearly meeting of this oom pany _ was held yeeterday at the o ffi ce in Victoria-street, Welt. minder, Earl Ammar in the chair. The Sacarraar read the report, which stated that the line was opened as a single line on the 2nd of June last, and as far as can be judged from so short an experience the amount of traffic has been most satisfactory. A bill was introduced into parliament in the last session for extending the line to Maidstone and Tunbridge, while th e South Eastern Company promoted a bill for making a line from Lewisham by fievenoaks to Tunbridge. The board were able to affect an arrangement with that company, by which the expense of a parliamentary contest was avoided at the same time that& largeaccession of traffic was secured to the hoe. By this arrangement the company are to make the extension to Maidstone And the South Eastern their line to Tunbridge, but the company are to form a junction at fieveneaka 'nth the latter line, and the South Eastern are to book passengers and goods over the line of the company between H i Tunbridge Wells, and Tunbridge, and the stationso s M Loudon, Chatham. and Dover Railway at the City and Westend.• The bills for effecting these objects have re ceived the royal anent. In anticipation of the additional traffic to be derived from the extension to Maidstone, and also from Tunbridge, Tunbridge Wells, and Hastinp, a double line is being laid over that portion of the maned which is already open. The Quinn/Jr, in moving the adoption of the report. con gratulated the shareholders upon the improved position of the line since the last half•yearly meeting. After conside rable exertions the directors had succeeded in effecting an amicable arrangement in respect of the proposed compel* lines with the South Eastern Company, by which muck HU gation and expense would he avoided, and the traffic at the line considerably extended. This he thought mint be very satisfactory to the shareholders : - Mr. HILTON seconded the adoption of the report, which was agreed to. The meeting was then made special. The CHAIRMAN said the arrangement he had alluded to in moving the report would render necessary the laying down of a double line of rails over a great portion of their line, and tortilla additional capital for that purpose he had mow to propose• resolution which he trusted would meet the ap• proval of the shareholders :—" That in pursuance of t h e power of the Sevenoaks, Maidstone, amid Tunbridge Railway Act of 1862 the directors be authorised to raise additional capital to the amount of 75,0001. by the farm of 3,750/. new or preferential shares of DX each, such shares to be entitled to a dividend at the rated 6 per cent. per annum ; and that further, under the power of the said act, the directors be empowered to borrow on mortgage or bonds a sum not exceeding in amount 25,900/." Mr. taros seconded the resolution, which was unani mously agreed to. Mr. W REFORI3 moved a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors for the satisfactoryarrangement they had made with the South Estero Company and their general attention to the grain of the company. The resolution was carried, and the proceedings termi nated. LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOTER RAILWAT.-.-011 Moods y the metropolitan extension at this line, between Victorie.statioa, Pimlico, Battered& Park, Clapham and Herne.hill, was opened for public traffic. The line is four milesin length, pawing through a pretty and populous subur ban district, which will be accommodated with four services of trains each way daily. All the trains are first, second, and third class, but at present passengers cannot be booked between Victoria-station and Battersea, the latter being a station of the Brighton Company. The line is in course of being further extended to Beckenham, and when completed, will have the effect of considerably reducing the existing distance between the west end of London, Dover, and the continent. The new permanent front of the Victoria. station has also jest been completed. with spacious pas. longer accommodation and offices for the company overhead. Mtn-KENT RAILWAY.—BROMLEY TO ST. MARY CRAY.—The half-yearly meeting was held yeetezday.st the offices, South Sea House, Mr. W. Dent in the chair. The report, which has been published, was taken as read. The chairman, in moving the adoption of the report and state ment of accounts, congratulated the shareholders on the improved position of the company, which was owing in a great measure to the very able manner in which their busi ness had been conducted through the severe parliamentary controversy wh Lib the company had been subjected to since its establishment in 1836, between the London, Chatham, and Lover, and the South Eastern companies. He hoped the time was not fez distant when they would be able to declare a larger dividend than 3 per cent. per annum. The re port was unanimously adopted. The chairman moved the adoption of the dividend at the rate of 3 per cent. per an num, free of income tax, which was agreed to. Mr. Brown moved. "That the best thanks of this meeting be gives to the Newmarket directors for their services for the last four years, for which they had received nothing ; and this meeting is of opinion, and it accordingly recommends, that provision be made at a future time foe their remuneration." Mr. Ferris seconded the motioa, which was carried. The meet ing then separated.
