In conse9uence of theprosecation Mr. Fisher had resigned his position, but he (Mr. Foster) did hope that Golonet (Abe would reinstate him when be became aware of Use real facts of the cure. In summing up the case his Lordship said that it was pert's etly clear that the prorecutimi had originated from very unworthy motives. False entries of matters con nected with resonation were very serious, and it was the duty of the properly authorised persons to undertake ]corerutionsin connection with them, and not that of private parties. Although he could not doubt that the prosecution bad been instituted from malicious motives, they had to try the question without regard to the manner in which it came before them. The jury almost immediately found a verdict of Not Guilty, at the announcement of which there was some a) plauee. His Lordship, after directing that the defendant should he discharged, ,aid--1 think, as I have said to the jury, thiv is a most unworthy prosecution, and one the costs of hick I do not feel disposed to allow. Those who pro moted it ought to tsar the cost themselves ; those wit nessee who are bound over and innocent witnesses I will allow for, but not for those who are in any way concerned in the prosecutien. 'those parties must pay their own cats, as it is entirely got up for private purposes, and not upon public grounds at all • and the attorney for the prosecution must take care to get the costs from those who employed him. NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—lpswion, AUGUST 11. Mr. Justice Keating got through the cause list yester day, the en]; cafe of any interest being an action by commercial traveller against the Great Northern Railway Company, to recover compensation for injuries sustained in an accident which occurred at Bandy, in Bedfordshire, when an express train ran into some goods trucks which were across the line. The only question was all to the amount of damages, the company having offered 1,0001., and the plaintiff claiming 1,5001. A number of witnesses having been called for the plaintiff, and the counsel for the defendant having addressed the jury in mitigation of damages, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff— damages 750!. Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., and Mr. Merewetber appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Bulwer, Q.C., and Mr, etcalfe for the defendant. A carman, named Jaws Seymour, was charged with cruelly tortiaringt, hone by working it in an tanflt state, and was remanded till yesterday, when Mr. Cherry, the government veterinary surgeon, who had seen the home, described the wounds and sores over its holy.

Mr. Chore, of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to animals, who attended to watch the ease, fully corrotoratcd Mr. Cherry. Some further evidence was given, clearly showing that the master, John Peters, of Colliers End, near Ware, Hertfordrhire, hay and straw dealer, sent his carman (reymour) out with the horse, knowing it was glandencl. Seymour kew it was too bad to be at large.

(Before Baron Bramwell.) ♦ "CAREFUL AND DISCREET VERDICT." - - late last evening en action brought by Mr. Grauhen chief constable of Bradford, against Mr. Myers, a manu facturer, for slandering him, was concluded. The case has created a good deal of local interest, not only on ac count of the position of the plaintiff, but also because an unusual number of witnesses were concerned in proving or disproving his sobriety on a particular occasion. The plaintiff's case, as represented by Mr. Overend, Q.C., was that the charge made generally by the defend ant against Mr. Grauhan was that, at a fire in Thornton road, when in the discharge of his duty, he was drunk. Up to that time Mr. Orauhsn had borne a very high character. On the 11th of February he was in London, and he returned to Bradford that evening at 7.46. On his arrival he was so cold mud exhausted that he went into an inn, and called for a glass of cold whisky and water, he having had nothing to drink that day but a gins; of sherry before he left Lon don. A gentleman who was at the bar said to him, " Have you heard that there is a fire in Thornton-road,' and on hearing that, instead of drinking his whisky, he went direct to the police-office and gave directions, and then went forward to the fire, and took an active part in effecting its extinction. When he arrived at the fire the de fendant was there, and he found him interfering a good deal. He told Mr. Myers that he must not give orders, be cause his was not the correct_ _judgment as to what things he:doue. " Oh," said Mr. Myers, " I have been di recting the whole thing." Mr. Orauban replied, " I have ar rived now I have the whole thing in my charge . , and I pro hibit you from interfering at all. By 10 at night the fire was subdued, and Mr. Grauhan went home. On the 22nd of February the watch committee received a letter from the defendant, in which he alleged that at the fire in Thornton-road the chief constable was the worse for liquor, and that his conduct on that occasion was such as to a ll for remarks not at all creditable to Mr. Gmuhan or conducive to the sobriety and good order of the town. He requested that the committee would investigate the matter, and that was done, the result being that a resolu tion was passed declaring that in the opinion of the com mittee the charge made by Mr. Myers was without foun dation. Defendant subsequently demanded a further inquiry. The inquiry therefore was re-opened, and witnesses was 'plied on both sides. The committee finally reported that the evidence was so very various and conflicting that it was scarcely possible to come to a satisfactory decision. This left the decision nowhere, and knowing that he was perfectly sober, Mr. Orauhan felt bound to have the matter investigated by a jury. Evidence was given by merchants, tradesmen, and police officers that the plaintiff was perfectly sober on the night in question. Mr. Seymour, Q.C., addressed the jury on the other side, and witnesses in support of the defendant's case were examined. The evidence of the two sides was of the most conflicting character. . _ The trial having lasted two days, after a deliberation of two hours and a quarter, the jury found a verdict which was one for the plaintiff, with 4615. damages. They found that though the plaintiff was not drunk he wee not entirely free from the influence of liquor, but was com petent to discharge hie duties. The judge said it was a very careful and discreet ver dict, and the case a proper one to be tried by a special jury. (Before Mr. Justice Lush.) AN 17NWORTIPT PROSECUTION. In the Crown Court, Ann Gran/dwell, a person of re spectable appearance, was indicted for making a false entry in the registration of the birth of her child at Wake field on the 21st of May. The prisoner wan indicted under the 36th section of the 24th and 2dth Vic., chapter 98, which enacted that, "Whosoever shall knowingly and un lawfully insert or cause, or permit to be inserted in any such register any false entry of any matter relating to any birth shall be guilty of felony." The fact, of the cane were peculiar. The real prosecutor in the case was the wife of Inspector Fisher, of the West Riding constabulary. They were married about 19 years ago, but a few weeks after the marriage, separated. About four years ago, however, Mr. Fisher allowed his wife some maintenance, and com menced to cohabit with prisoner. In the month of April, 1864, the prisoner, whose name really was Ann Ground well, had a child, of which Fisher was the father. The registrar attended allemande at the house where the pnsoner and Fisher lived, in order to have the birth registered. He saw the prisoner, who gave him the information necessary to fill up the book, and signed the aocoment, and in that declaration she stated that the name of the child was Jane Elizabeth, the name of its father James Fisher, and the name of the mother Ann Fisher, formerly Ann Groundwell. Before the entry was made, the registrar asked the prisoner what her name was before mamage, and she said Ann Groundwell, when that actually was her name at that time, as she could not be Fisher's wife, since his real wife was living. In that register she stat ed, in the place provided for the name of the informer, that the name was Ann Fisher, and upon these entries the charge was made. It was contended that the section under which the charge was brought really applied to the registrar him self, and not to other people. Some discussion ensued upon the point, and Mr. Justice Lush, having consulted Mr. Baron Bram well upon the point, said — l am of opinion, and my brother Bramwell agrees with use, that this is not a case within the 36th section. This is not a case in which the prisoner inserted, or caused to be in serted in the register, any false entry of any matter re lating to a birth. She did not cause it to be inserted; she did not go to the registrar, in order to induce him to make this insertion • but she gave the information to him, as she was obliged to do, and upon that he made those entries relating to the birth. All that she does is to sign her name in that column which requires the informant—the person who gives the information—to sign the name. 'The statute does, therefore, clearly distinguish between giving information and insert ing it in the register. I therefore think that this is not a case within the 31st section, but that it is one within the 41st section, which is peculiarly adapted to this particular case, and which says, " giying information to a register of matter relating to a birth, and which information is not true." I think, therefore, upon the indictment for felony the jury must find the prisoner not guilty. Such a ver dic t was returned and the case was immedi ately proceeded with an a misdemeanour. 3h. James Fisher deposed that he had lately resigned, in consequence of this prosecution ; and that the pro ceedings had been brought really to throw him out of his situation, and not to pu n i s h the woman. The cause of the proceeding was, that he had been obliged to report two officers, Hockaday and Wetherill, for grog' misconduct. His Lordship—Has this proceeding cost you your situa tion I' Mr. Fiaher--It has, my lord. Colonel Cobbe, the chief constable of the riding, was aware of my relations with the defendant, as was almost every member of the force. About six or seven years ago I compi tined about the con duct of these officers, and in Consequence they brought my wife over, and took her before the chief constable, THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. 41exassdrr meetly carrying on Reiriasoa, business at No. 1. Glut Bt. Helen's, in the City, was Nought before the Lord Mayor, on remand, on the charge of having fraudulently uncoiled his property, after ad judfestion as • bankrupt, with intent to defraud his medflon. this hearing was appointed for the purpose of rending over the depositiceis to the various witnesree. The cir cumstances of the case were fully reported last week, and it will be remembered that the prisoner was mule n Irink rupt in the year 1867. His amounts were alleged to have been unratidectory, and in February . of the following year his examination was adjourned s ine die, and he hail a six weeks' protection order. At the expiration of that time he went abroad, and did not return to this country until May, 1866. On his arrival a suit was instituted by revert,' gerrons againrt him in the Admiralty Court, with refer( nee to a flop which he was stated to have acquired while abroad. The official assignees to the estate hearing of this, interposed, and obtained a sum of money by way of compromise. Subeequen_tli t at their instance, he wee apprehended and lodged in Whitecrom-strect Prison, and on being brought before the Commissioners in Bank ruptcy he (refused to give any information relative to his property, and was committed for contempt of court. Ile wee now charged, under the direction of the Court of Eankruptcy, with concealing and embezzling his pro petty, contrary to the 221st section of the Bankruptcy Act of 1861, and he was brought up on a writ of habeas corpus from the debtors' prison, to answer the charge. Evidence was given to show that when he came back to England he was possessed, besides the ship, of about 3,0101. in money, with part of which he bought &number of foreign bonds, on the interest of which he had been living in Whitecroes-street, but the prosecution had been unable to recover any portion of the money or bonds. The depositions having seen read and signed, Mr. Oke, the chief clerk, told the prisoner the charges on which he would be committed for trial. The prisoner made a lengthened statement, in the course of which he characterised the opening speech of Mr. Murray, the counsel for the prosecution, as a tissue of falsehoods. Re asserted that some extraordinary and secret influence was brought to bear upon him, and that the whole of the proceedings against him were based on fraud. Eventually he was remanded until to-day (Thursday). GUILDHALL. The ban in the case of Edwin Ye!land, who stands remanded on the charge of obtaining money by false pre tences, attended before Alderman Carter, to substantiate. Mr. Buchanan appeared in support of the bail, and Mr. George Lewis, len., on the part of the prosecution. Dr. Abiathar Bmwn Wall, of 4, Bishop's-road, Bays water, was the first gentleman who tendered himself for bail; Captain Ben. Charles Jonas was the other bail ; and bcth havmg answered the questions put to them, Mr. Lewis said he could not obct to the bail, and in the course of the day the prisoner Yelland was liberated, the required sureties having been entered into. George lbetdr, aged 23, a rough-looking fellow, of 3, Tingay's-buildings, }England, labourer, was charged before Mr. Cooke with violently assaulting Pollee-con stable Frank Briers, 217 N, in the execution of hie duty, and rescuing a prisoner from his lawful custody, in Cock and Castle-lane, Kingaland. He was further charged with damaging a uniform helmet and assaulting Police constables Benjamin Keene, 409 N, and Thomas Quinney, 28 N Reserve, at the same time and place. On Tuesday night, as Police-constable Briers was taking a soldier to the police-station on •charge of desertion, and was passing through Cock and Castle-lane, he was set upon by a number of roughs, headed by the defendant, who hustled him, and got the soldier away. The con stable, in endeavouring to hold the soldier, fell to the ground, and was kicked very severely on the back by the defendant. When tho soldier had got away the defendant and his companions ran off. About an hour after, as the same police-constable was conveying a man to the police-station, the defendant with hie companions pounced upon the constable and rescued the man. The defendant got behind the constable and struck him a violent blow with a stick on the head, and damaged his helmet. He looked round, and saw the de fendant in the act of striking him again with the stick, when he caught hold of him and told him that he would have to go to the police-station. The defendant became very violent, and had not Constables Keene, 409 N, and Quinney, 28 N Reserve, come to his assistance, the defendant would have been rescued. On the way to the police-station the defendant kicked the two last-named constables on the leg, and it was with great difficulty he could be got there. The defendant said hehid beenworkingwith the soldier, I and he did not try to get him away, because the constable let him go. He was at the place, but he did not inter fere with the police in any way. The constable, in answer to the magistrate, said he did not let the soldier go, for he was rescued from custody. Mr. Cooke said if it had been clearly proved to him that the defendant struck the constable with the stick ho would have punished him severely. As the case stood, it was a very bad one, and for the assault and rescuing the two prisoners from Constable Briers, he (defendant) would have to go to prison for one calendar month, without the option of paying a fine. For the assault on the other two constables he would be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for seven days. The defendant, who wee surprised at the decision, was removed to the cells. WESTMINSTER. - - . John Mark Edmonds, a carpenter, was charged with assaulting his wife. Complainant, a poor aged woman, whose attenuated appearance indicated the ravages of chronic disease, said that rhe had mainly supported her husband, who was an idle, worthless fellow, for a dozen years. Duriug the last twelvemonths she had through illness been obliged to give up the work she had been in the habit of taking in, ever since which she had been subject to the most cruel perse cution and ill-treatment from the defendant. He called her the vilest names, used the most serious threats, broke open her door repeatedly when she was in bed, and had stood over her with a knife and poker in his hand. He abused her vilely on Tuesday night, and she got up in order to put him from the room as well as she was able. when he struck her a blow with his fist on the chest, and she fell on the back of her head, which was cut by coming in contact with the ground. The defendant said he thought he ought to be the com plainant. He was what was called being " victimised" by a conspiracy. He in general terms denied the ill treatment imputed to him, but admitted that he had not done much work during the last two years, as they had some money to live upon. Mr. Selfe said he should commit the defendant for one month to herd labour, and require him to find bail for four months for his good behaviour. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.. Join Howe, silversmith, Wells-street, Oxford-street, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt for final examination, charged with causing the death of Thomas Price. The evidence at the first examination was that on Satur day night last the prisoner was seen to knock down the deceased, to lift him up, and knock him down a second time. The Mau Rae taken to the hospital, but he died in a few minutes afterwards. Mr. George Lewis appeared for the defendant. Mr. Henry Case, house surgeon to the Mithilece4 $Oll - said on Sunday morning a man named Thomas Price was brought to the hospital, and he died in about three minutes afterwards. He assisted in making a post modern examination the next day, and ascertained that death was caused by effusion of blood on the brain, the effect of violence of some kind, more likely from a fall than a blow with the flat. There was a bruise on each aide of the face of the deceased. Richard Banks, No. 43, Union-street, said he had known the deceased for some time, and identified the body. Mr. G. Lewis said he wished to call witnesses on behalf of the prisoner. Henry Parker, No. 26, Wells-mows, said on Sunday morning he was coming up Wells-street, when he saw a crowd of persons near the Tiger public-house. and a man lying in the road with three or four persons about him, the prisoner being one of them. He asked what was the 'natter, and was told that the prisoner had knocked a man down. He said, " Well, don't let the man lie there," and got some water and brandy to give him, the prisoner pay ing for the brandy. The man was then placed in a sitting position leaning against a man's legs. An altercation took place among the bystanders, the man moved aside, and the deceased fell back wards on his head. The fall was • very violent one, the deceased coming very violently onhis head. The prisoner went to the hospital with the deceased, and seemed much put out at what had happened. John Keeling, potman at No. 33, Castle-street. said on Sunday morning, shortly after midnight, he saw several persons in Wells-street round a man lying in the road. He asked what was the matter, and was told that the prisoner had knocked the man down had picked him up, and knocked him down a second time. He told the prisoner not to go away and leave the man, and the pri soner replied that he certainly would not. Mr. Lewis applied for bail. Mr. Tyrwhitt would grant the application, but he must have good bail, two sureties in 501 each, awl him self in 1001. Bail was put in and accepted. MARYLEBONB Hairy Weeley, a cab-driver, was summoned before I[r. Knox for refusing to take a fare, and further summoned for refusing to give a ticket when asked for. At half-past six o'clock on the evening of the find of this month, Hr. BoWet Hatton, a gentleman residing at Lewisham, arrived by the Holybead mail train at Easton station, and hired defendant's cab, and had hie l placed on the roof. He directed defendant where todrive —Charing-cross. Defendant said he could not take him, as belied been previously engaged. He then took the luggage from the roof. On being asked for a ticket, he with abusive language said he would not give otie. Com plainant said he had taken it up on public grounds, and hoped that such conduct might he made known. Mr. Knox said that it was one of those eases that occurred too often, whets some cabmen attempt to im pose upon persons arriving in London after a long journey. For refuting to take the fare he (prisoner) would have to pay a penalty of 405., to pay a penalty of 10s. for re fusing to give a ticket, and /a. testa—in default six weeks' imprisonment. • BENUMB STUMM AGATES'S A TRADESMAN. John Fmk, a confectioner, was charged with a rape upon Ann Maria Kennington. Mr. Cherry and Mr. Graham appftred for the prose cution ; Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., Mr. Metcalfe, and Mr. Sims Reeve for the prisoner. This was a case which excited considerable interest in this town, in consequence of the position of the prisoner, who keeps a shop in Tavern-street, the principal street in the town, and who has relatives who are also tradespeople in Ipswich. The prosecutrix is a young girl sixteen years of age, and in the early part of this year she went into the pnsoner's service as • general servant. On Sunday the Bth of March last the prisoner's wife went to London, and the prosecntrix was left alone in the house with the prisoner, and according to her account he asked her to take tea with him in the evening, and after tea committed the offence with which he was charged in the room upstairs in which they were sitting. Two females slept in the house that night, but she made no complaint to them, nor did she complain to the shop-woman or the laundress who were at the house the next morning, but she saw her aunt in the afternoon and told her what she alleged had occurred, and she took her away from her place. In cross-examination the proeecutrix contradicted many of the statements she had made before the magistrates, and it was elicited that some overtures had. been made with a view to a compromise. Mr. O'Malley addressed the jury at great length on be half of the prisoner, contending that there was no truth in the girl's Amy ; and after a very careful summing up the jury Acquitted the prisoner. CROWN COMT. —Avner It (Before the Lord Chief Justice.) ELNILIIIPICY The Lord Chief Justice sat this morning and disposed of the last case, which occupied nearly the whole day. George Gosling was charged with several offences under the Bankruptcy Act, the charges mainly relied on being that he, having been adjudicated bankrupt on his own petition, made a fraudulent and untrue statement of the amount of his pr ; and that shortly before and after his adjudication he of his property, with intent to defraud his creditors. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Graham appeared for the prosecu tion ; Mr. Reeve defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was adjudicated bankrupt on the 14th of July, 184,6, and that he then swore that the value of his property, including cash in hand, was only 201. The proceedings in bankruptcy were not proceeded with at that time, and it was not until early this year that he attended before the county court judge to pan his examination. It then appeared that on the 7th July he was in on of money and goods to the value of nearly 1 06/., and on the 9th of that month everything was cleared out of his shop. The county court judge there upon directed this prosecution to be instituted. The case was very clearly proved against the prisoner, and the jury having found him Guilty, The Lord Chief Justice made acme strong remarks on the dishonesty of such frauds as these, which he said were calculated more than anything else to injure the commer cial community, and he sentenced the prisoner to twelve calendar months imprisonment. This case concluded the business of the Norfolk Circuit. INCENDL2IBX.-NELVY BENTICWE. ----- Isaac George ration, 22, was indicted for setting fire to the farm premises of Mr. Thomas Henry Clements, at Lavenham, on the 4th of July last. Mr. Mayd appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Cockerel] defended the prisoner. About half-past two in the morning of the 4th of July last the prosecutor was awoke by the noise of fire, and discovered that all his buildings were in flames. Nine hones, 20 pigs, and upwards of 100 fowls were burnt, and a number of stacks and all the farm buildings were destroyed, but the house, which had also caught fire, was saved. The care against the prisoner was, that he had been discharged from the service of the prosecutor about two years ago, and that although he had on several occasions asked to be employed again he had met with a refusal. Two witnesses proved that on two separate occasions—once lest Michae lma s and again in May—the prisoner had made statements to the effect that he should like to see his old master in flames, and that he would not help to get him out. On the night of the fire he was shown to have been at a place between ten and twelve miles from the spot at 9 o'clock. but a witness was called who proved that he met a man whom from hie peculiar mode of walking and other circum stances he believed to be the prisoner within a mile and a quarter at about 11 o'clock the same night. The prose cution also relied on the fact of the prisoner ou the Satur day and Monday after the fire volunteering statements to the police officers and other persons with a view of accounting for his whereabouts on the night of the fire, and showing his innocence, all of which statements were proved by several witnesses to be false ; the most mate rial of these statements being one to the effect that be had slept in a barn about eleven milos off on the night of the file, and that preceding it, with a man named Ward, who was called and proved that although the prisoner did sleep at the place in question on the night preceding, it was not true that he slept there on the night of the fire. The jury after a few minutes' consideration returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to 20 years' penal servitude. OXFORD CIRCIIIT.--th.ouczatin, Atm. 12. Csowir Couirr.—(Before Mr. Justice Pigott.) . . Txx . 111711D721 BY ♦ SOLDIER IN BARRACKS. John llaskell, private in the 3rd Buffs, was c with the wilful murder of Robert Synon, at Ho b r a ffrt on the 30th April last. Mr. Sawyer appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Motterara for the defence. This trial occupied the greater part of the day. The air eumstances, as narrated by a number of witnesses, chiefly privates in the 3rd Buffs, wore briefly as follow. On the 30th April last the accused was in that regiment, and had on that morning complained to his officer of something that had transpired with reference torn unpaid or over pa id letter. About ten o'clock in the mom ing—bro hours after wards—several shots were heard fired in the barrack-square, and they were found to be fired by the prisoner. The people in the square ran out, and the deceased, with Private Lewis, wee retreating to some steps opposite the sergeants' mess when the former fell, and the next moment, just as Eynon had passed him and was going up the steps, another shot was fired, and Syron fell dead. The prisoner was seized and put into confinement. The witnesses differed in opinion as to his condition when arrested. Mr. Motteram then addressed the jury for the prisoner. He admitted that it was by the band of Maskell that the deceased lost his life, but be contended that there was nothing like evidence of any malice on the part of the prisoner, or any idea of murder. The jury, without retiring, after a few minute s con sultation, returned a verdict of Guilty of manslaughter. Re was sentenced to ten years' penal servitude.

'"'""w*--EAdv.l • „MIDLAND RAILWA Y The directors report an increase in the following description of traffic carried npon the railway during the past half year ; the receipts from which, compared with those of the corresponding period of 1867, show the fol lowing result, viz.:- an increase from coaching of 16,112/.; from cattle of 2,5771. ; from merchandise of 47,9171. ; increase, 66,636/. But from this amount the sum of 13,138/. has to be deducted, owing to the dermas.° which has taken place in the mineral traffic during the half year, so that the total increase is 63,498/. The directors had looked for a much larger increase in the traffic than this, but their expectations have been disappointed, partly fr , m their inability to avail them selvt aof the new line between Bedford and Lond in for the passenger traffic, and partly from the severe di:- premien in the iron and coal trades, which ham existe 1 during nearly the whole of the half-year. To the gross amount of traffic for the half-year 1,419.3.511.. 47,0001. has been added, being a further portion of the hitherto undi vided balance due to revenue from the English and Scotch traffic, obtained under the decision of the Court of Chan cery in 186 G. The balance available for dividend is 607,932/. Ifie 3d., of which die foam of 12.0691. 12a. led. is the balance brought forward from the account of the pre vious half-year, and the directors are enabled to recom mend the declaration of the following dividends (leas in come tax), payable on the Ist day of September next :- 21. 10s. upon each 1001. consolidated stock ; 11. 10s. 3d. upon each 1001. consolidated Birminzharn and Derby stock; 31. upon each 1001. consolidated preferential stock; 31. upon each 100/. consolidated Erewash Valley stock ; 2/. 51. upon each 1001. consolidated 4i per cent. preferential stock • 21. upon each 100/. Lciiiester and Hitchin preferential stock ; 21. Zlii. upon each 100/. con solidated irredeemable 4} per cent. preferential stock; 2/. 101. upon each 100!. A 5 per cent. preference stock ; 2/.los. upon each 100/. B 5 per cent. preference stock ; 4s. 6d. upon each W. share, at 5/. per cent. per annum; Kn. per share upon each 181. five per cent. preference share, being half year on 16/. per share, at S per cent. per annum ; 6e. 1 Id. per share upon each Di/. inconver tible 5 per cent. preference share, being half year on 12/. per share, and 167 days on 2/. per share, at 5 per cent. per annum ; 3s. 9d. and two-fifths per share upon each 221. five per cent. preference share, being half year on 4!. and 140 days on 41. per share, at .5 per cent. per annum ; leaving a balance of 3,4391. 3s. 6d. to be carried to the account of the current half-year. The dividends recommended above are lens by se. per cent. upon the open stock than those declared for the corre sponding period of 1867, and the reduction has been occa sioned by the bad state of trade, and the continued large outlay upon lines and works, some of which at present produce but little, whilst others are entirely unproduc tive of revenue. The report of the auditors states-In addition to our certificate of the accuracy of the accounts of the past half year, given in terms required by the Railway Companies Act, 1867, we have much satisfaction in further stating that the premiums received on shares issued by the com pany, amounting to 116,1851. 3a. 10d., is now carried to capital amount. That the increase in traffic shown by the published weekly statements at 24,583/. proves to be 63,498/. in actual result; that this latter amount is correct, and haebeen earned during the half-year coding 30th June last. That interest on all unproductive capital has been charged to the revenue of the past half-year, and that there are no arrears of any kind chargeable against future years. That there is still a balance of 34,989/.165. remaining as a revenue credit unappropriated of the English and Scotch traffic, after placing 47,0001. to the credit of the revenue account of the past half-year. We regret to find so large a sum as 27,986/. 17e. lid, chargeable against revenue for " compensation for accidents and losses " during the past half-year. The greater part of this (19,400!.) is for personal injury. We beg respectfully, but urgently, to press upon the attention of railway share holders the necessity for seeking, at the hands of parlia ment, some alteration in the law by which the liability of railway companies for compensation for personal injury may be put upon a more equitable basis than now exists. The enormous amount paid this half-year for " compen sation " by the Midland Company is equal to nearly one-half per cent. for the half-year upon the open stock of the company. TRAFFIC RETURNS.

C. Boulder eon (late of the Madras Engineers) in the chair. The dirCtors stated that the first pond for the artificial reception and ultimate preaertation of the oyster " spat" is completed, and was opened on the had July. The work appears to be substantuil and good, and the directors have every reason to be satisfied with the despatch and anxiety manifested by the contractor, Mr. Pritchard, to complete the work to the extent required to enable the directors to commence the operations for the actual breeding of oysters, and it is y his exer tions alone that they have been enabled to do so. The work of enclosure for the formation of the ponds was commenced very late in the season, yet by the efforts that have been made they have been enabled to lay the broody oysters in pond No. 1, in sufficient time, they hope, to secure this season's fall of "spat," or young oysters. The manager, Captain Kulback, has laid down in the pond many thousands of broody oysters, and has adopted several of the moat approved methods for collecting the " spat." The work of constructing the embankments in the formation of the ponds has been a much more difficult and necessarily more expensive matter thee tide a_teectom contemplated. The entire west When completed will enclore a spans fully three times tArger than the size of the pond already completed. The directors are glad to be able to report that since the starting of the company several of tbe residents in the vicinity of the oompanys operations have become shareholders, and they expect that as the highly interesting character of the undertaking becomes more fully known others will follow their example. The report was adopted. SWIMMING IN TEL SERPEICTINE.—Yesterday a handicap race of 600 yards for second-class swimmers, the prizes bring two silver medals, presented by the West London Swimming Club, took place in the Serpentine, in the presence of a large number of persons. Out of nine entries seven came to the post, and went off as follows, the figures denoting the number of seconds start each had :—W. Bapley, 40; A. Baldock, 20; G. Davis, 20; E. Bapley, 20: F. Dowse, 16 ; B. Giver, 5 ; and E. Bricable, scratch. They took water respectively at the word of Mr. I. Kent, and when 160 yards had been got over the order was—Dowse, 1; Davis 2 ; Diver, 3. Bumble in the next 100 yards caught the lad two named, but Dowse held his own admirably, and led by 20 yards at the green boat-house. He kept about that di sta nce ahead of Brimble, and so won. CHVOT was third. 10 yards behind Brimble. and 5 before Davis, who was fmirth man. E. Replay was fifth; A. Baldock, sixth; and W. Bapley had a fine view of the finish. Brimble and A. Baldock would swim faster if they talked less while in the water. There was a strong head wind, so the time was slow, 10 min. 38 sec. Mr. T. Morris was judge, and presented the medals after the race.
