THE I . • LATEST SPORTING INTtoditoENCE THE STAMFORD MRETINO. TO YIIE znrroit or TIIF. EINUM. Sne,—lt is warmly necessary to touch upon any of the bminess done at Poutefnsct or Reading, which aves the Clooilaood Stakes and Cup "as they were." and I proceed at once to a review of the programme of the aristocratic meeting at Stamford, held on Thursday and Friday. It is not improbable that this will have its influence on the future, Goodwood, St. Leger, and Derby homes being eugageil ; and three find-clan 2-yr-olds am in the bfl Soca Sweepstakes, cis. , Ryshworth, Tenedos, and Candidate. Whether they will meet is another matter, and Ryshworth will probably leave Tenedoi to give Candidate the 71b. a very difficult task, I am thinking. Mr. Chaplin having only to back his colt for him to win, the stable possessing a pretty accurate measure of Moslem's brother. The Stamford St. Leger must fall to Speculum, as The Earl is not likely to start, and the declining of Orimston awl Naiveté will leave the Welland to Haymaker. The Burghley Handicap is booked a certainty for Lucifer; but Emigration will run much better than she did at Hamp ton, and presummg Alicia cannot get the distance, she should at least beat all the others, if his sulphuric majesty i. too much for her. The minor handicaps are soon dins reed of, as it is easy to give the Welter to Armourer, the Westmoreland Plate to Airdrie or Snowdrop, and tho Bo rough Members• Plate to Betty or Carlotta, and it is suffi cient to note that the same horses are in the Ketton Stakes and Tenth Biennial as I make favourable mention of for the St. Leger and Fifty SOTS. Sweepstakes. There is not one good known youngster in the Milton Stakes, and they are all bad ones in the N'mth Biennial, Angus being about the best of the bunch, and the moderate Citron far from the worst. It is impossible to my what will go for the Stam ford Cup, still Blinkhoolie is not a very likely starter, and as Speculum must show for his two "certainties" he may try this too, and perhaps have nothing better than Blueskin to fear. Lure is about the best looking in the Nursery, whilst for the Clifden Cup commend me to Knight of the Garter and Lozenge. The pleasant meeting at Wiliam on Thursday I cannot touch upon, and all I can say until to-morrow concerning the Liverpool event is that Fervacques or The Deau should win the Cup on Saturday.—l am, &c., METEOR.

NOTIINGI At a quarter past 12 to-day these celebrated elevens resumed their match at the Oval, the weather being quite as hot as any we have experienced during the summer. Daft with 18 and Summers with 42 were the " not outs" of last night, and they were to-day opposed by the bowling of Southerton and Griffith. Daft drove Griffith's first ball to the off for 4, and by very careful play the score was increased to 100, which elicited a cr from the Notta sympathisers. With the total of 106, Griffith gave up the ball to Sewell. THREE 0 . CLOCK. Daft and Summers kept together for some time, but at length were separat, and after their departure no further stand was made by the Notts men, so that shortly before half-past 2 the last wicket fell with the score at 166, or 76 in arrear of that of Surrey.

LATLOSIO2i OF d LOCONOTIVE.-THREE NEN HURT. Yesterday morning, between six and seven o'clock, a powerful engine on the Lancashire and York. shire Railway exploded at Sowerby Bridge tunnel, scalding John Perry, the driver, of Ruskin-street, Liverpool, and Frederick Thistlewaite, the stoker, of Liverpool, and likewise injuring by the shock the guard, William Hargreaves, of Awton. The men were in charge of a luggage train from Huddersfield to Liverpool. The train, a heavy one, reached Sowerby Bridge shortly after six o'clock, picked up a few waggons, took in water, and then proceeded. The train, however, had not got above three hundred yards when the boiler of the locomotive exploded in the tunnel. The shock appears to have been tremendous. The engine was rent into pieces, the brass cupola being blown quit* awn y. Some plate/Ayers, who were in the tunnel at a hundred yards distance, were thrown down by the concussion, and a tree knocked down at the end of the tunnel, 200 yards away. Over the tunnel is the cemetery of the Sowerby Bridge Local Board, and a rockery in it was thrown down. People in Sowerby Bridge were woke from their sleep, and hurried into the streets to ascertain the cause. For a time the tunnel was so tilled with steam that no one could enter. The poor men inside, however, managed to get out, some at one end and some at the other. The guard complained of being hurt on the head and chest, as though he had been struck or fallen. Perry and Thistlewaite presented a blackened and sickening spectacle. They were shock ingly scalded on the face, head, and arms, Thistlewaite being the worst. Mr. Turney, surgeon, was soon on the spot and rendered valuable assistance. Hargreaves was able to proceed home. but the other two men were con veyed to the Halifax Infirmary. The cause of the explo- ston is supposed to have been too high pressure of steam. The structure of the tunnel does not appear to be much injured, nor the train damaged, but the engine is de stroyed.—leafs Nereery. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) WiIYSIPDAY, JULY If,, S AM.

The annual general meeting of the shareholders was held at noon, at the City . Terminus Hotel; Mr. P. Nomissi.t. LAMM', governor, in the chair. The report and balance-shed wore as fellows: "'!he directors have to report that the net profits of the bank for the six months ending 30th June last, after pay ment of all charges (including the sum of 66,8174 13s. 11d. for interest paid and due to customers on their cue ent and deposit accounts), and masking full provision for all bad 'and doubtful debts, are 99,569/. 13s.

Id.; total, 110,760/. 3s. 5d." The Cnantwaw, in moving the adoption of the report and amounte t =premed his pleasure at the satisfactory reception which had been given to them by the meeting. Considering the remarkable depression in trade they had no right to expect such a result. The home trade had been worse than in the preceding six months, contracts haying been completed, and other matters settled. The connections of the bank abroad spoke in more hopeful terms. This time lad year a dividend was announced at the rate of 221 per cent. Of course the proprietors had not expected such a return now. The aggregate of the new business, which had been most satisfactory, had made the totals in &a, equal to those of 1867, He then referred to e railway accounts, and congratulated the p roprietors that they were in a sound position. The Great Eastern interest had been paid up to the 30th of June. The preference stock of the London and Brighton Com pany was taken at 90, and he had no doubt that the com pany would be enabled to pay the interest for the last half-year. The board entertained no doubt as to the value of that investment. As regarded the arrears of interest, the board were advised that a large amount had been debited to revenue which ought to have been charged to capital. The question involved was a vexed one, but Sir Charles Jackson stated that in his opinion there was an overcharge of expenses to the extent of 58,0001., and resigned his seat at the Brighton Board in consequence of his views not being concurred in, and legal promoting.s were afterwards taken in the interest of the lank. He added that in estimating the profits of the last half-year, no account had been taken of the preferential interest due from the Brighton Company. After a short discussion the report was adopted, and a dividend at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum declarod. The proceedings terminated in the usual manner. LONDON AND WESTMINSTER B4.VE (THIS LAY.) The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held at 1 o'clock l at the Bank, Lothbury ; Mr. W. Trrx, M.P., in the chair. The SaclzTißT (Mr. Shipp) read the following report and balance-sheet: "The directors have to report that, after making provi sion for all bad and doubtful debts, paying the income tax, and setting apart 2,0001. towards the buildings of the bank, the net profits for the last half year amount to 162,396!. 7a. 4& This sum, added to 10,104/.

U. 3d. has been deducted, being the interest to the 30th June, 1868, on 749,160!., the amount received on account of the issue of new capital. The income tax on the interest on new shares will be paid by the bank. The directors now declare a dividend to the shareholders at the rate of six per cent. per annum, and by way of farther dividend out of the profits, a bonus of 11100 per cent. upon the paid-up capital of 1,000,000!. After these payments are made, there will remain 26,404/. 12c, which the directors have carried to profit and loss account for the current ball year.

The Citartmaia, in moving the adoption of the report and accounts, observed that the sum re preeented as due by the bank on deposit ac counts, &e., &c., was 19,915,000 t ; whereas in July last year it was about 4000,0001. The explanation of the reduction was obvious. That bank was to a large extent a deposit one, and, the rate of interest being very low, many withdrew deposits in order to obtain a better return. If, however, the ac counts had been presented up to that day, the 1211,te of deposits would have been stated at 1 00 . 0,100/. The bank had 400 more customers on its books now than it had this time last year. (Cheers.) The total amount of bad debts made since the bank was established, 34 years ago, was 364,000/., while the total amount of proilts during the same period was 4,700,0001. (Cheers.) The bank had never made large advances to railway companies and the whole amount advanced to such companies at the present time was 100,000!., the companies being some of the beet in the kingdom. (Cheers.) In reply to a question, The Outlaw( said the investments of the batik in government stock were bought on the average below the present market value. The report and accounts having been adopted and a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, and a bonus of 9 per cent., having been declared, Mr. Fir/sin:Aix moved a vote of thanks to the direc s. The motion ens. seconded by Mr. F. Vw.i.ronr, and carried unanimously. The ClisildlAN briefly returned thanks ; after which he proposed a vote of thanks to the general manager, Mr. V s . F.wings, and the other managers of the bank, which was carried by acclamation, On the motion of Mr. Wipers, thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting then separated. / EVENING., JULY 11 EXPLoSIoN AT A FIRMWORK MANU- PACIYM r.

TIIK FENIAN PROSECUTION.. (17118 114 E) At Bow-street, this afternoon, James Wilkinson, 0141 Cooke, and John Blake, were brought up on remand, before Mr. Vaughan, upon the charge of treason felony. The prosecution was oonducted by Mr. Poland, in structed by the Treasury solicitors ; and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Merriman. Ihe witness Corydon was re-called, and continued his evidence. Before Cooke and Waydock went to Drogheda witness had sane conversation with Cooke about a box or trunk. Waydock, Beecher, Burke, and others were present. Cook said that he had a box containing copper mallets and other implements, for the purpose of Meshing into the powder !flagellum in Ireland, and that they were at the hotel where he was, which was Mat thews'. lie said he got these things in America. He mentioned the inagerme in the Min-nix-park, in Dub lin, as the principal. As n soldier, I knew that copper mullets wore used, because they will not ignite Pp steel or iron would. It would be a dangerous thing to break into a powder magazine with iron mallets. He also said he hail a green cloak and a green silk cap. I gave information to Head-constable Maher, of the Irish constabulary. I was then at Liverpool. Upon that information Cook and Waydock were arrested about the 24th or 25th of November. I saw the box of mallets removed from Matthews' Hotel by MDer mott, a Fenian who was afterwards arrested at Liverpool. I saw him them in custody. I gave information of the removal of the box to Head-con stable Maher. The box was taken to a house in Chris tian-street, where McDermott lived. It was in his house that it was found. I did not see Cooke after he sailed for Drogheda till last Saturday. Witness was acquainted intimately with Roberta, of New York, who was president of the Fenian Brotherhood. There was a split between him and Mahony, the former pendent, and they then became presidents of the tWo branches. Mr. Robert Gardiner, sub-inspector of the Irish con stabulary stationed e at ee Drog he rain la ni — o On 25th N rmation ovember, 1888, n Castle and a description of two men. In conse quence of this information I went with a party of police to the quay at Drogheda, and then waited for the arrival of the steamer Brian Born. That was shortly after 1 o'clock on Sunday, the 25th. I watched the paseengers leaving that vessel. I went on board and searched the vessel, but could not And either of the men. After the pas sengers had left I found two men concealed in the engine mom, regaling themselves with whiskey, apparently to give a colour to their staying behind, and they answered the description so well as to enable me to arrest them at once. They gave the names Cooke and Waydock. I had them handcuffed and removed to gaol. They were searched. Some money was found on them, including some greenbacks. Patrick Mullany, the well-known Fenian approver, deposed to having seen the prisoner Cooke at Cavanagh's public-house in Potter-street, and witness was told that the prisoner was an agent of Roberts, and a head centre of Dublin, sent over to London to reorganise. Maurice Donoghue was present. Cooke stated that he had money in hand for the purpose. Ultimately the prisoners were remanded to Tuesday next. Mr. Merriman applied for make's admission to bail, which Mr. Vaughan refused. ARREST OP MURPHY 47 BOLTON. During the past week considerable excitement has been caused in Bolton, in consequence of Murphy having taken land to erect his tent and deliver his lectures. The land taken is a yard situate at the corner of Bridge street and St. George s-street, and Mr. Eckeraley, the person from whom he rents it, occupies the house adjoining. Ac cording to the announcement, Murphy was to deliver his first lecture lastnight, hie subject being "Freedom," and as the time approached for Murphy's appearance the excitement increased, and extraordinary precaution was therefore taken by the authorities to meet any emergency that might arise. Yesterday, 158 constables of the county constabulary from the divisions of Manchester, Bury, Chorley, and Rochdale, arrived in the town, part of them being stationed in Bridge-street schoolroom, near where Murphy's tent is erected, and the other portion in a schoolroom adjacent to the Borough Polies-office. The whole of the borough polio. foroe-70 in number—were also kept in readiness, also the fire brigade, and upwards of 600 special constables were stationed in various parts of the borough, furnished with staves. Many of t l e he s s es lice also wore enthuses. In the afternoon a special of the magistrates took place, when Mr. Luke 21' draper; Mr. Ellis Boaclman, contractor; Mr. William Bronnley, boot and shoe maker; and Mr. John Warr, publican, gave information that, if Murphy were allowed to lecture, such was the state of party feeling in the town that a breach of the !peace would in their opinion take place. The result was the issuing of the following pro clamation :—" Borough of Bolton.—The mayor and magistrates. considering the peace of the town of the greatest importance, have resolved to pro hibit Mr. Murphy's lecture, and they earnestly request all persons to abstain from congregating in the public streets.—Tama Rea Low, Mayor." Handbill,' were also plentifully distributed to the following effect:—"Borough Court, Tuesday.—The mayor and magistrates suggest the propriety of the works in the town receiving additional watchfukees during the excite ment attending Mr. Murphy's visit." Several of the placards were posted on the paling surrounding Murphy's tent, when one of Murphy's assistants im mediately came out of the house, and, in a spirit of bravado, tore them down, and threw them to the ground, amidst the yells of the people who were assembled around. A warrant had been issued for the apprehension of Murphy, and at a quarter to 6 o'clock a cab drove up to his lodgings, containing Superintendent Beech, of the borough police force, Supinternlent Scott, of the Bolton division of the county, and Superintendent Milne, of the Bury division, and they proceeded into the house, secured Murphy, and drove him off to the Borough Police-office, amidst the yells and hooting of the crowd. The apprehension was effected with the greatest secrecy. A large body of police was within call, but their ser vices were not required. On arriving at the police station where the magistrates were sitting, Murphy was ushered into the office of Superintendent Beech, and the magistrates deliberated for upwards of an hour what course they should further adopt. At length they agreed to liberate Murphy on bail, himself in 500/., and two sureties in 2.50/. each, for his appearance on Friday morning, to answer the charge preferred against him, Murphy undertaking, in the mean time, not to lecture. Mr. Eokeraley, with whom Murphy is lodging, and A. Willis of Ashton, joiner and builder, were his bail. Colonel Bruce, of the county constabulary, was in town during the proceedings. On Murphy being liberated he was driven away in a cab to his lodgings, accompanied by Superintendent Beech and Inspector Holgate, and it having become generally known by that time that he had been arrested the streets on the route were crowded. Murphy's reception by them was far from being complimentary.—Manelteater Examiner. SHIPALVO INTELLIGENCB.-(THI8 RAE) (BY nazoiazz.) Lex we July lfe—iWiad at coca light airs 'ad gas dear weather.
