TO TIM 21YITOR OF TIM Minim Slit,--Sporting men have been sorely tried during the past week, whether they love the turf, the trigger, or the willow • and the rcarcity of grouse will uev,r be more sorely felt ihan it was ma Mooday, Tuesday, and Wednes day last, when some easy work would hive been really appreciated. But if your crack shot is anything like the cricketer in temper the extraordiumy heat must rather have warmed him to his work, the innings of 413 made by • Sussex eleven against Marylebone on the two most scorching days. and at scorching Brighton being something en_ Icing even to read about. It was bad enough from all accounts to base to stand out in the open at Egbiou or Wolverhamptou races, or even at the far-north Stockton on the first day, and had not a relief come of Thursday tb ne is no calculating how many turfites would have been lost to society , what with the vil e drinks they " refresh " them with ou smite racecourses, and the hot blood that must have been brewed with the temperature °verso much above fever heat. Mr. Welsher and his attendant band of brigands evidently got excited on the banks of the Runnymede, and the local police being no match for a few real London prigs, a noble band of them attacked and demolished the ready-money " lista," which are gradually galling their old game in the ring, as the armies! backe: can now speculate his money in safety, if be ha. only sense enough to look about him. This week " welsher." will have to work the oracle at West Drayton, or Hastings, or the little-go at Dover, for they dare not go as fur north as York, which old-fashioned city will be all alive up to Saturday next with busy men, thanks to the yearling sales at Fairfield on Tuesday, and in York towu itself on the three race days. Those who go iu for the sport alone will find plenty to do from the time the bell is rung for the Zetland trial on Wednesday until the scramble fur the express or special on Friday after aeon, some nine races per diem being on the canto , even allowing for half a dozen in the programme to go " off." There is nothing but the Emily filly, apparently, to put in an appearance for the tramhain Park Stakes, the Duke of York in the Burgundy being similarly blessed, whilst, onleu the Little Rover can show, Mayflower will walk off with the Old Produce Stakes, and the 100 soya. Sweep stakes cannot well produce a race. The Juveaile Stakes is not so easily disposed, of. as it is not quite • certainty Herald can beat the Yorkshire filly, tlyaotis, and I rather incline to the latter. The northern stables baste nothing to do with the Black Duck Stakes, which Mr. Merry might pick up with one of bis Thoriaaubys, the son Sunbeaie having more in him than came out at Bath ; and for the rei asining two-year-old event, the Con vivial, the south-country men will have to supply all the goo 1 things that are known to fame , Court Mantle, Treoagle Pyrenees, and Melia not being had represents tine of Newmarket.

ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB REGATTA. There is a good sprinkling of young poults from the black cock and grey hen this season in Berkshire. These birds are Scotch game, and their introduction to Berkshire was occasioned by the attempt some few years ago to establish them in the royal preserves at Windsor, which was unsuccessful. They have got scattered about, and have sought their own localities. They breed pretty freely, and are strictly preserved on the manors they select ; but many die in the winter, and nothing like • good stock of birds can be sustained. AirtlLZfeli Ravawoz.--Jack Fisher writes to Land and Water:—" Sir,—l have been in the habit, for some wears, of visiting occasionally • river some distance from London for the purpose of enjoying a week's angling. I have just returned from one of these tripe, and was greatly disappointed at finding that a very free use of the nets had quite spoiled all angling with • rod. The barge men and others who drag this river never take the trouble to throw in the small fish, but leave them on the bank to die. It being better to act than to grumble, I bought 18 butter firkins at 4d. each, and 3.. or 4s. worth of tenter hooks. I bad these hooks well boiled in grease and then driven into the casks, taking can to have them clenched inside, and to have plenty of hooks nailed arotukt.the edges. These we carried, two at a time in a sack with a whisp of straw sticking . out to make it look very like chaff,' down to the river, and with a shovel filled them up with stones, headed them up, and dropped these small casks from a boat, in the deep places where the nets had hitherto been so successful, thus leaving • `rod' in pickle for the neta,' and I sin in great hopes that I have, by so doing, spoiled ' their worry poorty sport,' as the men who I assisted to drag the river termed it, and that I shall find I this beautiful river very different as to fish in the course of a short time. If other brothers of the rod would do the same, I fancy they would not have so much disappoint. meat in their favourite sport as they are accustomed to meet with. Captain Tyler, RE., has left London for Paris, to negotiate with the French Post office authorities re specting the transmission of the Eastern mails through France and Italy to Brindisi.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE ELECTION DISTURBANCES. Thomas Taylor Pearce, fanner, and °florins Long, eteerard to Lord Fitahardinge, both powerful men, were indicted for having, on the 29th of jnly, at the pariah of Berkeley, assaulted Heory Bailey. Mr. Motteratu prosecuted, and Mr. Cough and Mr. Streeten defended. The defendants were unwilling to stand in the dock, but were obliged to do so. For the prosecution eight or nine witnesses were called. Their evidence was to the effect that on the day of the polling for West Gloucestershire, Mr. dtailey, • farmer and an elector, was w ith o th ers a t the .Swan Hotel, Berkeley; and he assisted in convey ing conservative voters to the poll. About eight o'clock in the evening they left the hotel, Mr. Bailey intending to return home. Outside they found • great crowd of people, chiefly of the yellow h par i t l y, and by t eggs, hem athndyst7l7..'l7,l".; an d O back and head several times. The crowd gradually increased, and began to close round him. Mr. Ootavius Long was beading the ob, and encouraging them to follow. He caught hold of Mr. Bailey's collar, and almost stunned him by a tre mendous blow from his fist on the beck of the head. Pearce then came up and took his stick from him, put his left arm round his neck, and hammered at his face with his fist till he was blind from the blows. He broke some thing in his nose, and the blood spurted out two feet. He committed other outrages, until his daughter-in-law drove along in a trap, and picked him up. He was confined to his bed for three days. - In cross-examination Mr. Bailey said—Pearce and I have been neighbour. and very good friends. I was driven forward by Mr. Long like a sheep going to the slaughter. If I'd been a convict they could not bays treated me worse. . A surgeon proved that when he saw Mr. Bailey on the same night one side of his face was so swollen that his eye eould hardly be seen. He was bleeding from the mouth, eye, and nostrils, and blood was coming from • deep cut between the bridge of the none and the corner of the eye. Below that were two abrasions, apparently caused by blows struck downward, and there was a bruise at the back of his head. He was suffering from partial concus sion and was much excited. The single policeman who was present, trying to protect Mr. Bailey, said that he heard Pearce say, " Stand aside ; let's kill the old --!" A boy proved that Pearce said to some friends, " Didn't I kick the old nicely If I'd gave him two or three more blows I should have finials' him." The Rev. Sir Edward Colt, Bart., and other witnesses, stated that Mr. Bailey was sober, and did not defy the mob. It transpired that up to this time Bailey had been a wbig. For the defence, Mr. Gough celled three or four respect able men who were present to prove an almost entire denial of the charge, and that Bailey wag exciting Ind defying the crowd by waving his oak stick at them • that when Pearce went by, the old man turned upon him and struck him with hie stick in the face, and that Mr. Pearce had then to struggle in self-defence, and that there wee a hand-to-hand fight between them. 1 The jury, having retired for a quarter of en hour, folmd a verdict for &common assault, recommending the priionets to mercy because of the excellent character given to Chem, and the judge sentenced them to these months' iqpri sonment without hard labour. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Lrvaßpodc, Am. 17. CROWN Couirr.—(Before Lord Ch .f Justice Bovill.) CHARGE OF ARSON AGAINST A SHOPKEEPER'S ASSISTANT. Edward Ryder, a ahopman, was indicted for vetting ire to the shop of Mr. Roger Wallwortb, of Scotland-road, Liverpool, who was his employer. On the evening of the 11th July last the prosecutor and prisoner secured the shop, which was a " lock-up " one, and the prisoner took the keys. About 11 o'clock the same night Ryder mane down &gain to the shop, although he hod no business to do so, and shortly afterwards a fire broke out on the premises. The prisoner immediately told Mr. Wallworth of the Are, but when asked if he had been to the shop since it was locked up he denied that he had. Evidence, however, was called to show that he was at the door shortly before the fire broke out. _ _ His Lordship stopped the case, and the prisoner was Arquiued, his counsel saying that if it had gone on he could have proved one of the strongest alibis he ever heard. The grand jury returned a true bill against Messrs. Rankin, ironfounders, on an indictment charging them with obtaining the sum of 10,0001. by means of Wee pre tenses from Mr. Pearson.

SALISBURY AND YlOl,ll RAILWAY.—The report of the directors of the Salisbury and Yeovil Railway Company to the ordinary half-yearly meeting of the shareWders, to be held on Friday, the 23rd day of Au gust, 1867, at 1 o'clock, gives the following statement"; of I the capital and revenue wore for the half-year ending June 30 1867 : — The gross earnings for that half-year averaged 311. 10.. sd. per mile per week, or 32,7811.9 x; the earaings for the corresponding half-jear of 1866 were 331. 8a per mile per week, or 34,8381.'95. Id.; showing a a decrease of 2,056/. 14s. Id.; of which 1,1401.3 a. 3d. wu on the arching, and 916/. 101. 10d. on the goods traffic. The foregoing statement, it will be seen, exhibit! a de crease in the traffic of the last six months, ee tome4mured with the receipts for the corresponding period of the *re view year. This line, however, has only sherd, in oem mon with others, in the effects of the general depression of trade which has so materially a ff ected the receipts of railways throughout the kingdom. The receipts fee the year ending 30th June, 1867, are equal to 351. Oa. 7d. per mile per week, or 74,214/. ss. 2d. ; while the trails tar the previous twelve months averaged 341. 19a sd. per mile per week, or 72.751 1 . 18.. Bd. ; the increase being 1,4621. 6s. M. It will be observed that a sum of 6,5971. les. 2d. (subject to deduction of working expenses, &a), is brought to the credit of revenue in the accounts of the present half.year. This represents the claims made from time to time upon the London and South Western Company, up to 31st De ember, 1865, in respect of coal terminals, waggon hire, terminals on through tra ffi c, and sundry differences, and which, having only recently been admitted by that con pany, could not sooner be brought into account. India ing the balance from this source, and after de ducting working expenses, passenger duty, interest, andel other charge., the accounts for the half.year, r now Bab. mitted, show a sum available for dividend of 15,6331. 7s. 9d. The dividend on the 5 per cent. preference shares (1800), amounts to 3,750/. ; that to be paid on the 5 per cent. pre ference share issued under the act of 1864 will require 487 N.-5,6251. Balance, 10,0081. 7s. 9d. ; out of which the directors recommend that a dividend be declared on the ordinary capital at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, which will absorb 9,796/. 10a. 2d. ; leaving 2091. 17s. 7d. ; which, added to the balance from last half-year, 3,582/.135., will make the balance to be carried forward to the credit of the current half-year's account 3,792/. 10s. 7d. It is proposed to make the dividend warrants payable on and after the 26th instant. NEW WELSH RAILWAYS.—Within the last week two new lines of railway—one of considerable length and importance—have been opened in Wales. The first, the Manchester and Milford, runs from Aberystwith to Caermarthen, and by completing a link in the western chain of railways running through the principality, opens up • new route between the manufacturing district of South Lancashire and the mineral district of South Wales. The length of the line la 41 j miles, and, running througn the rich mineral district of Cenintanahire, it is claimed fer it that the benefits which its completion will bestow upon the oountry are incalculable. On Wednes day, the long deferred opening of the deviation line of the Cambrian Railway, near Aberdovey, took *me, end will prove • great boon to the public. Hitherto, pas sengers from the midland district travelling to Towyn, Barmouth, and other towns on that section of the coast railway, have been obliged to change carriages at Twyslas, and crow the Dewey by steamer. The opening of the deviation line will do away with this inconvenience, and afford an unbroken route between Aberystwith and Carnarvon. This line forms a portion of the system con structed by Mr. Lavin, the well known contractor, and in the arrangement by which it has at length been thrown open to the public, it is stipulated that such opening is for time, by the permission of the landowners, upon certain terms agreed upon between them and the company for the working of the line for the benefit of the landowner; such opening and working not to prejudice or affect the existing rights (by injunction or otherwise) of the landowners, or be deemed a dedicating of the railway to the public." The Dines liswddy Railway, running through portions of Merionethshire and Montgomeryakire, and forming • junction with the Cambrian system at Cemmaes•road, will be opened for traffic early in next month. HULL AND SELBY RiaLwAy.--On Friday the haltyearly meeting of the proprietors of the above now. pony was held at the Station Hotel, Hull ; Mr. John Alder, chairman, presiding. The halancesheet showed an available surplus of 34,34 W. &Aid., and • dividend of 21. 9s. 6d. per whole or 50/. share, and pro rota for half and quarter shares, was declared. Votes of thanks to the chairman and directors concluded the business, which only hated about five minntes. On Saturday afternoon three inquests were held by Mr. Richards with respect to children who bad come to untimely ends by accident. One little creature, only eight months old, had been placed in a chair, from which be rolled, fatally striking his head against the fender as be fell. The second, a girl two years old, slipped through the bars of her oot, and hung strangled by the neck for four hours. The third, also a girl, three years old, while left alone in the kitchen for live minutes, fell into a tubof meter, and was drowned. NORTH-EASTERN RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this company was held on Friday in the De Grey Booms, Yerk ; H. S. Tnomrson, chairman of the company, presiding. - 1 1'he ChLtranan mid that, in the remarks he should have to make upon the results of the working of the past half-year, he was happy to assure the shareholders that he had not to make any startling revelations, that he had not in store any of those unpleasant surprises which in the case of some important railway companies within the last few menthe had come upon the shareholders when they least expected it. (Hear, hear.) The North-Eastern was a stoady-geing company, and long he hoped might it remain so. But even the steadiest company, like all other com mercial undertakings, must feel more or less the ups and downs of trade. When the trade of the district was pros perous, the company was prosperous also, and when the trade was depressed, the company must suffer. And it was to him a great proof of,the essential soundness of the posi tion of the North-Eastern Company, and of the extensive resources di the district it served, that the company had not suffered more than it had done during the last six months, when one of their staple industries, the iron trade, had been in the very languid state in which they had seen it. The net result of the half-year's working was that the gross recei had increased 10,1581., whilst the expenses were increased by 17,174/., so that the net available income of the company had been made less by 7,0161. The in crease in the working expenses was the point fiat re quiring explanition, and to that he would address himself. The first item in these expenses—the largest in working all railways—was that of locomotive power. That item amounted to no less than 306,588/., and showed an increase on the half-year of 5,6101. Out of the large tam be had mentioned one third was the cost of supplying fuel—coke sad coal, in which there was an immense of 15,6301. The increase in the cost of the quantity used was 2,2461., and the increase which was due to the rise in price was 13,3841., so that if they had bad to pay the same price as formerly on the fuel used, their net income, instead of showing • decrease of 7,0001., would have shown an increase of 5,610/. During the year the increase in the price of coke and coal had been each that had no increasetaken place there would have been a saving upon the working of the line of 30,0001. —• sum that would have enabled the directors to pay one third or one-quarter per cent. more upon the Berwick and Darlington section, and one-half more on the York and Carlisle. He had great pleasure in stating, however, that the prior of coke and coal had apparently reached its highest point, as in the last contracts they had made there was a slight diminution in the price. In commenting on the soundness of the company, as displayed by the position of the passenger, goods, and mineral traffic), the Chairman referred to the strike. and abated that out of 1,080 engine drivers and firemen who left the employment of the company 174 had been re instated in their service. After the successful termination of the strike several gentlemen sent subscriptions for those men who had stuck to the company in their difficulty, aqd the directors bad thought it right to add a certain amount, , so that a satisfactory bonus might be given to those MCI. (" Hear, hear," and applause.) He concluded by moving the adoption of the report. After some discussion the report was adopted, and the dividends were declared at the following rates :—On the Berwick Ordinary Stock, 5 per cent. per annum ; York do., 44 • Leeds do., 2i ; Carlisle do., Of ; Darlington do., 7}- Think and Melton Stook, 4 per oeut. annum. A vote of thanks to the chairman t the proceed ings to a close. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. The half-yearly report of the directors of this company was Issued on Saturday. It save:—"Tito accounts of the company for the hail-year to 30th June, 1887, are submitted herewith to the proprietors. It will be observed that the form in which they are now presented differs from tbjt adopted in previous years. The alterations have been made on the recommendation of the auditors. The re ceipts on capital amount for the half-year are 560,5657., derived from cells paid on the permanent preference stook of '1866, and term the proceeds of the sale, by tender, of a lane portion of the wtallotted balance of that stock. The expenditure is chiefs for works of constructioa sad on account of subscriptions to other lines. The Linoola and Heoingten line was opened for traffic on the 15th April, the Doneasternad Geineborongh line on the 15th July, and the March and Spalding line, for keel goods traffic poly, on the Ist Aprils The Edgware and Highgate line has geen unavoidably delayed by circumstances beyord the control 'of 'the company, but it will probably be approved by the Board of Trade before the end of the current month. The construction of the Cheshire lines .17 the Midland, Great Northers, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire asenpardes jointly is progressing, and some of the land for -the Liverpool eel station has been acquired. Mort gages to the amount of 62,3001. have been paid off, and 11,6001. has been re-borrowed at a reduced rate. The attention of the directors will be given to the act passed In this session to facilitate the abandonment of authorised lines, with the view to consider how far that act can be availed of to reduce further expenditure of capital without detriment to the interests of the company. The traffic receipts exceed those of the corresponding period by 31,5861. The expenses having also increased by 17,830/., the additional net profit L 13,736/. The commercial de premien prevalent during the past six months has affected the receipts from merehaadise traffic on this, as on most other railways. The coal traffic has, however, been satis factory. The expenditure in the engineer's depart ' meet is leas by 1,7001. Nearly thirty miles of single line have been relaid, as compared with twenty-two miles in 1866. The additional expenditure of the locomotive department is chiefly attributable to the advance in thereto of wages, and to the increased cost of fuel: 307,073 Additional miles have been run, and the average mileage cost is 12.390 per mile, as compared with 12.925 per mile in 1866 ; 435 goods wagons have been en tirely rebuilt, and the carriage and wagon stook has been thoroughly maintained. In the law and parliamentary expenses are included the aairid of the unsuccessful appli cation toperliament, in the recent session, to abandon the Kaaba and Littooln line ; with the expenses of ap pearing *afore the committee on the London, Chatham, , 1 and Despebilis is protection of this company's interests ; es well 1111/W the preliminary costs of the Goole end Haney was not proceeded with last year. The following is a summary of the aooonute of the half-year as compared with those of 1866 :--Groas receipts, 1867, 992,373/. ; 1866, 960,7831. ; grew expenditure, 1867, 544,193/. ; 1866, 526,3451. ; excess of gross receipts over expenditure, 1867, 448,1801. • 1866, 434,4.38 ; granary re ceipts, Including balance, 1867, 6,1991. ; 1866, 12,5741. ; net revenue, 1867, 434,3791. ; 1866, 447,012/. ; fixed and preference charges, 1867 290 . 4261.;1868, 271,459 i. •; balance u ordinary dividend, 1867, 163,9334;1866,175.553/. This balance will enable the proprietors to declare a did dead at the following rates :-41, 10a per cent. per annum on the original stock, giving for the balf-yess-2/. se. to the original stock; I/. 10s. to the A stook ; 31. to the B stook.

HARDWARE.—BrawiNnwof, Arcrar 17.—The state of trade in this town continues to be one of extreme quietude; in mine few instances manufacturers are & little better off for orders, bat at best there are very few on the books ; and at present nothing whatever is being done ip the class of goods usually in demand at this season on ac count of the autumn trade. The country thopkeep:rs show nolisposidon whatever to make up stocks, except to • very limited extent, and cotoplaints as to the difflculiq experienced in getting in accounts are almost as general as they were early in the year. So far as this affects business concerns in this town, such long-oentinred =:r his never before been experienced. In the metal this prevails almost without exception ,• the electro platers, tin-plate workers, wire drawers, and pa fitters, all report the total absence of animation. In the foreign department KIM slight improvement his been ex perienced. COTTON. —Ltvxuroox, AUGUST 17. —We have had a fair demand to-day, and the market has been rather quieter in tons ; but prices remain unchanged. The sake are 10,000 bales, of which 2,000 are for export and specu- lation. COTTON GOODS.—ll•ffellmeres, AUGUST 17.—1 n the early part of the week we had • cheerful and rather active market for moat descriptions of yarns and cloths. The low prices of last week had caused some activity, and the purchases of yarns and cloths for India had been sufneiert to relieve stocks a good deal, so that at the commence meat of the present week sellers were disposed to put up prices. Home trade yarns, on Tuesday, were quoted id. per, lb. higher. Sines that day business has fallen off, and there has.been • drooping tendency in prices. Yarns and cloths have lasi at least half of the advance pined on Tuesday, and, worse still, the demand has fallen off, so that we have very little doing. In, yarns there is very little business offering for India and China, and the demand for the continent and the Levant is (pile.. For the home trade yarns are id. per lb. lower than on Tues day. In cloths there is some businesa for the better class of ahirtlnp, but buyers are offering rather lower rates. Martinis, madapollams, mulls, and jaconets for India are in very little demand. Some failures in the Bauer at Calcutta are alleged as discouraging the trade with India. The home trade demand for cloths continues limited, though perhaps rather in excess of what it has been. On the whole the market may be regarded as languid, with drooping prices as compared with the quotations of the early part of the week. WOOLLEN.—Leens, Arm:sr 17.—The markets this morning have presented a more satisfactory appearance. The attendance of manufacturers and merchants has been tolerably good, several buyers from town. at si distances having been present, and a greater amount of speculation has been evident. The demand in the coloured cloth Lill has been mostly for steel, bluemixed , and brown tweeds, which have *hanged hands to a fair extent, although the transfer of this class is not so Wendy' as it was last autumn ; there is, nevertheless, • ready sale for goods I brought into the market, and stocks are not alMwed to accumulate. Coatings have also met with more en -11" oouragement, the inquiries have been more numerous, and. the amount of business done has been upon the increase. TIN sale of plain cloths in this market has not been large, • few parcels of blue and black cloths have chang e d heads, though limited in amount. In the white market the inquiries for heavy goods continue steady. Beavers still hold the first position. Witneys in the finer makes of double plains have also been in tolerably good request, whilst the lower qualities have been neglected. A few parcels of medium priced pilots in imbossed patterns and plain mates have, in some quarters, been inquired after. Hairlists hove met with purchasers to a larger amount than we have lately been able to report ; attention having been chiefly directed to the better descriptions. Prices remain without change. WOOL AND WORSTED.—Beeneoen, Atmore 17. The unsettled state of the weather since Thursday last has tended in some degree to repress the disposition pre viously manifested to operate rather more freely in wool Under the influence of the improved feeling considerable sales of wool were in some instances effected at the early partof the Week, though the general demand did not materially increase. Prices, though the turn dearer in' the *pantry, are generally about the same as hurt week, although in a few rare and eroeptional cases a frecEen advance has been obtained. Fine haired wools still oon tinue meet in demand, while luster wools are neglected. In worsted yarns there has been rather more inquiry on foreign account, but there has been no appreciable change in tbe home demand, which is of an average character. In the formes department some lustre yarns (chiefly 40'e) for Au/debase been bought, and a little more has been done in two-fold 36's. Prince are fully as low as they have been. There has been rather more business in pieces, chiefly on home aceount. The home merchants have ex perienced more inqairy for autumn goods, the effect el which, however, is not felt by the manufacturers, who have already supplied stocks of such goods. The America& merchants have operated sparingly, chiefly with a view to assort docks, The continental trade remains torpid. Prices throughout are as low as ever.

Yesterday was dull, but re mained dry ; to-day looks threatening, with wind from the south. At our market this morning we bad a good supply of wheat from tbe growers, but from the coast as well as from other quarters, the receipts proved mode rate. Fresh thrashed samples, being wanted, were cleared off early at fully last week's vices, but from the stand. few transactions resulted, holders for the most part being unwilling to accede to the decline generally demanded, but, when it was compulsory to sell, rather lower rates had to be submitted to.
