PlttOtt. THE BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL (1110/1 001 91.1CIAL COIRESPONDOIT.) BIRMINGHAM, &maw'. This great triennial music meeting came to a tritunpliant close on Friday night, with a fine per formance of St Paul ; of which we must speak after noticing the production of the new cantata, The A titieng Mariner, at the concert of Thursday evening. Coleridge's romantic legendary poem offers so many opportunities for picturesque musical effects that it is somewhat surprising it should have re mained unappropriated to such purposes until its present setting by Mr. J. F. Barnett. This clever young musician, we need scarcely re mind our readers, is the nephew of one of England's best composers, John Barnett. The attempt to embody in music the series of vivid pictures which Coleridge's poem suggests is a bold one—a task, indeed, scarcely to be thoroughly accomplished by any but a musician possessed of original imaginative genius as well as practical art acquirement. Mr. Barnett's cantata has no overture, but opens with a short instrumental introduction. A unisonous passage of five bars leads to a cantabile phrase for the violoncellos, accompanied by synco pated chords—the unisonous passage recurring in intervals a fourth higher, leading to a continuation and prolongation of the flowing melodious subject for the violoncellos, afterwards relieved by inter spersed "wind points," containing some chromatic progressions somewhat in the manner of Spohr ; altogether producing some good effects of relief and contrast, short as the movement is. A few bars of two-part writing for the choral tenon and basses announce, in a brief and simple strain, the presence of the Ancient Mariner and his interruption, as a fated narrator, of the guests on their way to the wedding feast ; some strains of a light and piquant cha racter announcing the festivities in bright relief to the gloomy tale of the predestined man. A few more introductory passages lead to the " Mariners' chorus," "The ship was cheered, the harbour cleared," a graceful and flowing piece of vocal writing very effectively contrasted with the rippling motion of the accompaniment. The melodious theme of this movement is again used in the course of the cantata, with the evident ob ject of giving an effect of unity of design to the whole work. The " Bridal Chorus," " The bride hath paced into the hall," for female voices, is light and tripping in character, and distinctly marked in rhythm. The chorus, "And now the storm-blast came," is a clever effort at the picturesque expression of dramatic effect, in which the orchestra is used with much skill. Although not open to the charge of positive plagiarism, this movement is somewhat reflective of Mendelssohn's Walpurgis- Nadi& The solo for soprano, "The fair breeze blew" (in which the composer seems to emulate the style of Weber's dramatic scenes), is effectively accompanied by a murmuring under-current of violin passages, with occasional contrast of those reiterated chords for the wind instruments which Mendelsaohn has made such frequent and happy use. This solo, magnificently sung by Mdlle. Titiens, produced a strong impression. The short tenor solo, " Down dropt the breeze" (ad mirably given by Mr. Sims Reeves) has no special character beyond a gloomy monotony, which may be held to be appropriate I. the supposed situation. The chorus, " about, about, in reel and rout," aims at a certain weird-like effect by its broken deetato vocal passages in detached response. This movement, which well sustains its character of dispersion and agitation, was greatly applauded and encored. The short recitative, " The steersman's face," admirably declaimed by Mr. Santley, leads to a quartet, " The souls did from their bodies fly," descriptive of the ghastly scene on board the doomed ship. This movement is ushered in by the strain previously heard in the instrumental introduction, hero given to clarinet and bassoon— occasional phrases being left to the unaccompanied vocal quartet. In this piece occurs one of those confusions of sense inevitable in the appropria tion of a personal narrative to the pur poses of music of combination. Thus we have the four voices all singing the mariner's own indi vidual statement, " And every soul it passed me by, like the whiz of my cross-bow." This parti cular instance might have been avoided by giving this verse to one singer instead of to four voices. The air, " 0 happy living things" (encored), con tains some smooth vocal writing, well suited to the voice of Mr. Santley, by whom it was admirably sung. The sustained cantabile of the vocal phrases is well contrasted with the broken and re-iterated chords of the stringed instruments—a favourite device with Spohr. The slumber song, " 0 sleep it is a gentle thing," is a plaintive melody in G minor, with occasional obbligati passages for the corno Inglese, charmingly played by M. Barret. This air derived much significance from the expressive singing of Madame Patey-Whytock. The chorus, " The upper air bunt into life," is a , movement of some length, in which a certain rest les+ agitation is well maintained to the close, together with sonic brilliant and effective instru mentation ; here again we find some reflection of Mendelasohn's Walpnrgis nac,t. The quartet, " Around, around," an animated and piquant move ment, was sung with admirable point and precision by Mdlle. Titiens, Madame Patey-Whytock, Mr. Sims Reeves, and Mr. Santley. The duet for the two voices in the air," contains some fanciful nstrumentation in the use of the muted violins and the passages for flutes and clarinets, contrast ing effectively with the flowing phrases for the "two voices," admirably represented by Mdlle. Titiens and Madame Patey-Whytock. This move ment was at once called fur again and repeated. The next piece is a recitative and air, " Swiftly, swiftly," in the form of a dra matic scene, with variations of time and rhythm—the bold declamatory passages of the commencement being afterwards well relieved by a recurrence to the tranquil strain of the opening chorus ; the whole working up to a very effective climax, with some very brilliant and sonorous instrumentation—the coda, in which the splendid upper notes of Mr. Bentley's voice were conspicuous for their resonant and beautiful quality, bringing to a close ono of the best written pieces in the cantata. Nothing could be finer than Mr. Santley's performance of this elaborate scans. A graceful, although not very striking air for tenor, " The Harbour Bay," somewhat in the notturno manner, accompanied by some delicate details of instrumentation, was sung in that smooth, cantabile style of which Mr. Sims Reeves is as great a master as he is of declamatory grandeur. The chorus for female voices, " This seraph band," with soprano solo rising brightly above the general combination of orchestra and chorus—the stream ing effect of the harps added to the ordinary orchestral accompaniments—produced a good effect of contrast and variety, the brilliant voice of Mdlle. Titiens being prominent through all. The 1. . THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2, 1867. final quartet and chorus, " What loud uproar," heralded by a fanfare for the brass instruments, expresses the burst of festive revelry of the wedding guests, changing to some flowing cantabile phrases for female voices, recurring to the festive movement, and then subsiding into the tranquil and graceful theme of the opening chorus, closing with the beautiful verse of the poem commencing " He prayeth best," in phrases of a religious character combining chorus and solo voices, with reiterated chords for the orchestra, wrought up to an effective climax which produced a burst of long-continued applause that certified to the unequivocal success of Mr. Barnett's new work, which was conducted by himself. Of this cantata, as of Professor Sterndale Bennett's Woman of Samaria (produced on Wed nesday morning, and already noticed by us) we shall doubtless, before long, have something further to say on their repetition in London—an event of which there can be little doubt. The closing performance on Friday evening—the oratorio of St. Paul—formed a worthy climax to the Birmingham music meeting; the festival ap propriately terminating, as it had commenced, with a work by a composer whose name, as we have before observed, will always be associated with these occasions. As the festival began with Men delssohn's Elijah, originally produced at Birming ham in 1846, it closed with his earlier oratorio given at Birmingham in 1837 ; both occasions having been conducted by the great composer, whose premature death occurred a year after the former date. Notwithstanding the fatigue of the executants from their incessant exertions during the previous days, the performance of St. Paul on Friday evening was in every respect a very fine one. In spite of the restrictions as to applause at oratorio performances, a strong demonstration took place in recognition of Mr. Costa's valuable efforts as director and conductor of the festival—some ebullition of a like kind having previously burst forth in admiration of Mr. Reeves' singing of " Be thou faithful." The returns for the closing performance on Fri day evening were as follow:-1,150/. 155., making, with the amount already recorded for Friday morning, a total of 3,2261. Os. Bd. for that day. *purttng Intelligente. --..._ THE WEEK BEFORE THE BELLINGER. KENT COAST RAILWAY. The 20th half-yearly meeting was held on Satur day, at the Offices of the Company 2 , Great Winchester street-buildings ; Mr. Mauves', Mi'. , in the chair. Mr. JOHNSON, the secretary, having read the 'iota* call ing the meeting, the report was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said he much reirretted that be came before them, with the company neither able to pay a dividend, nor the interest on the de bentures. Pending the appeal which had now been made against the course taken by the London, Chatham, and Dover Company, it would be impolitic for him to express himself fully on the subject ; but if the agreement which had been made with that company was not binding, no railway agreement could be held as secure. The terms were as fair and equitable as anything could be. The Chatham Company was to get 50 per cent. of the profits up to 00,000/., and 75 per cent. of all in excess of that sum. The proceedings taken by the debenture holders was most imp_olitio. Mr. Itictom seconded the motion. Captain MOTHAN traced the progress of the litigation be tween the company and the London, Chatham, and Dover, andexpressedhiscoaviction that the presentdifficultiesof the company arose from the careless mannerin which the agree ment had been drawn up. Ho suggested caution on the part of the directory in going on with litigation upon the agreement itself, and pointed out that if satisfactory arrangements could not be made for the working of the line with the London, Chatham. and Dover, it would be quite practicable to enter into arrangements with the South Eastern. The company had the command of 100,0001. of traffic, and was therefore a valuable concern to either of the companies. Up to the present time there had been no opportunity of coming to any compromise with the London, Chatham, and Dover, but he trusted that ultimately some arrange ment of a satisfactory character would be made. In answer to • question put by • proprietor, Mr. MAYNARD, the solicitor of the company, said that for the period between October and June the amount paid into court by the London, Chatham, and Dover Company as the proportion of the Kent Coast earnings, was between 17,000(. and 18,0001. That was not the amount to which the Kent Coast thought they were entitled, but their claim to that extent at least was virtually established. Under the arrangements which now existed the Dover Company would have to pay into court from time to time whatever amount may become due under the award of Capt. O'Brien as soon as it was made. He objected to any attempt on the part of bondholders to repudiate the agreements of directors. Having looked very carefully into all the matters connected with the agreement, he was prepared to contend that it was really a very desirable one for the Chatham and Dover Company to enter into. At the time it was made the onl& c railway communica tion between London and A te and Ramsgate was in the halide of the Sou Eastern Company. But by inducing persons to come forward and provide means for making the Kent Coast line, they gave to the Dover Company not only • competitive route to Margate and Ramsgate, but • route so much shorter than that by the South Eastern, in point of fact it threw into the hands of the Dover Company the through traffic between Lon don and those places. Having obtained possession of that traffic, the Dover Company was enabled to treat on very much better terms with the South Eastern for a share of the continental traffic, and the result was that they did actually obtain an agreement by which, if they had not already one-half, they shortly would have one-half of the whole continental traffic. (Hear, hear.) Objection bad been taken to the agreement on the ground that the Kent Coast claimed under its provision one-fifth of the through traffic of the Chatham and Dover. But the fact was that while the whole of the through traffic of the Dover was 500,001. a year, more than 100,000 L or one-fifth was due entirely to the Margate and Ra msgate traffic. (Hear.) The claim to the fifth of the receipts of the traffic was, therefore, a perfectly fair and legitimate one, and the agreement to pay that proportion was not an improvident one on the part of the Dover Company. A suggestion had been made about compromise in the matter, and that some agreement might be made between the Kent Coast and the South Eastern. That was • matter upon which the least that was said the better, until the question with the Chatham and Dover Company was settled. He held to the agreement, and repudiated altogether the idea that supposing the agreement to be held to be valid the Dover Company should be permitted to evade the effects of it by seeking to turn the Margate and Ramagate nape into the South Eastern line. The agreement ought tolie observed and carried out in its integrity, and he should be greatly surprised if the Chatham and Dover Company could get out of the obligations which it involved. After further discussion, the report was unanimously adopted. Mr. KILEY then moved • resolution to the effect that it was not desirable that the Kent Coast should make any compromise or arrangement with any other company ex cept upon terms to be previously submitted to • general meeting of the shareholders, but, after explanations, the resolution was withdrawn, and • cordial vote of thanks to the chairman and directors brought the proceedings to a close. METROPOLITAN RAILWAY. Dranta. With the opening of September the theatrical season, which flags during the month of August, generally revives, and managers put forth their programmes and prospective announcements. The Adelphi Theatre will be closed for one month or more, and Mr. Webster, if he listens to good advice, will have it cleaned down, and the stock, scenery, dresses, and properties put in order. The Olympic is announced to be let to any enterprising person ; the New Queen's Theatre in Long•acre (late Si. Martin's hall) is progressing favourably, and Mr. Alfred Wigan, the lessee, has engager.: Mr. J. L. Toole to appear at or before Christmas. The New Royalty still enjoys its extraordi nary career of prosperity, the little drama of Meg's Dircraion having been performed one year all but six weeks, and the burlesque of Black-Eyed Susan having entered on its thirty-ninth week. The Victoria Theatre has been taken by Mr. J. Arnold Cave, lessee of the Marylebone Theatre, who knows how to manage such a house with advantage to himself and the public better than any man in London. The Marylr bone is announced to be let. Sadler's Wells will re-open on Saturday, Sept- 14, with a strong dramatic company, and •revivalof.dzaa ftheProdiged. The principal performers will be Miss Marriott and Mr. H. Loraine. The Surrey Theatre will re-open on the Name night with a new drama by Mr. Watts Phillips called Ifolody's Chad, with scenery by Mr. William Cancan. Mr. Cheswick will perform the principal character. Mr. Andrew Halliday's Drury lane drama, the Great City, has gone to the Grecian Theatre. The Royal Amphitheatre and Circus has added to its many and varied ring attractions a new monkey ballet. The Lyceum will re-open for a short season under Mr. Pechter's management on Saturday, September 14, when the Lady of Lyons will be revived, with Mr. Pechter as Claude Melnotte, and we believe Miss Carlotta Leclercq as Pauline. To-night (Monday) the Princess's will re-open with a temporary revival of the Streets of London, in which Mr. Vining will play his original character of Badger, and on Saturday, Sept. 14, Mr. and Mrs. Boneicault will reappear at this house in a revival of Arrah-na•Pogue. To-night, also, Mrs. Scott fliddons will return to the Haymarket, and appear as Rosalind in As You Like It. To-night, also, Mr. Maacabe will appear in his deservedly popular entertainment, a la Mathews, at the Egyptian-hall ; and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Paul will open the Strand Theatre for a fortnight with their equally popular vocal and comic entertainment, which includes some of Mrs. Howard Paul's most striking impersonations and much of her remarkable singing. Amongst the rest she will give her well-known imitation of Mr. Sims Reeves, and her not so well-known, but quite as extraordinary imitations of Mdlle. Theresa, the late idol of Perla. We cannot close this brief summary without drawing attention to Mr. Anson's well-deserved benefit, which will take place at the Adelphi this week, as announced, with a host of special and legitimate ettractiocs, and to a propo sition that his just been brought before the public to build a joint-stock amateur theatre on the site of part of the Strand Hotel property. The site is good, but we believe the crown have some idea of taking the whole of this block of buildings under parliamentary powers, in which case the projectors of this scheme will have to look out for another locality. • 1 EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN • CHITECH.—eIII, extraordinary service was held on Friday night, at the Church of St. Michael and All Angels, Shore'litch. It was " within the octave of the Dedication Festival," and the preacher was Dr. Gray, Bishop of Capetowu, or, as the announcement issued by the parochial clergy styled him, " his Grace the Metropolitan of Capetown.' There were at least fifty lighted wax candles upon the altar, two large candelabra, one on the north, the other on the south aide, in addition to • long row of lighted candles on the rood screen, and an abundance of gas jets.: There were flowers also. The hour appointed for per. vice was eight o'clock. It was commenced with • pro cessional hymn, at the first note of which there came from the vestry at the north-east corner of the church a youth habitat' in a bright red cassock, having over it what ap ware(' to be two slips of cambric, one in front and one behind. He held on high • large golden cross. He was followed by a long train of surpliced choristers, two abreast, men and boys, bearing banners containing various emblems, other youths dressed in red and cambric, three or four clergymen whose hoods showed them to be Bachelors of Arts of the University of Oxford, one a D.C.L., who wore • crimson and scarlet hood, and one who bad • simple black hood, who appeared to act as chaplain to the bishop. The bishop came last but one, followed by a deacon who bore a white flag, on which there was a representation of the cross. The procession moved from east to west along the north aisle, and then west to east down the nave to the altar, where all took their places according to their I rank. Before the bishop's sermon began, an extraordinary incident occurred. " Father lgnatium," after service in the church of St. Bartholomew's, Moor•lane, and a prayer meeting in the schoolroom, told the congregation that he should like them, as Bishop Gray was preaching at St. Michael's. to show their admiration of the bishop for his bold defence of the truth against the errors of Dr. Colenso by going in a body to think bin) for it, and to ask his blessing ; those who were in favour of doing so were to hold up their hands. All consenting, Mr. Lynn sent word to the bishop of their intention, and then they went in procession to the church, men walking two sod two first, the women following, to the number of over two hundred. They arrived at the church about the middle of evening prayer, and greatly i frightened the churchwarden, who took them for a body of rioters come to attack the church. However, his fears were moon dispelled. At the conclusion of the prayers the Bishop of Capetown entered the pulpit, and informed the congregation what had taken place, expressing his pleasure at the demonstration and williognes to give them his episcopal blessing. As these people bad already attended service, and could not remain to bear his sermon, many of them having a long distance to go, he should give his blessing at once. The regular congregation, who would receive his blessing after the sermon, he desired to stand up, while Ignatius and has people were to kneel down. This being done, the bishop, who appeared greatly moved, then solemnly gave hie blessing. After • few minutes' silence, Father Ignatius and his congregation retired from the church, and the sermon proceeded. CRYSTAL PALACE. HALT-A-CROWN DAY.— SATURDAY, AUGUST 31.—Admissions on payment, 1,883; ditto by season debits, 4,513: total visitors. 6,396, TO THI MOTTOS OP THI ZLPRIPB. SlR,—Small fields, indifferent plating, a great quantity of welshing, and occasionally some strange " per formances," have been the characteristics of the half dozen holiday meetings held since my last, which have not touched upon the St. Leger in any way, nor any other great race forthcoming, supposing a Tibthorpe were abroad woring for the admiral's autumn handicaps, that are to make their appearance next Thursday. Very few will dare to perform at Warwick on Tuesday and Wed nesday with an eye to these latter, and hence the current week will be another dull one, unless something serious should happen to the St. Leger favourites or the in ventors of canards are in the humour for work. Already, to enliven the " dead season " (peculiar to the honey as well as the outer world), we have had faint rumours of frightful catastrophes, the favourite "place" investment for the northern blue Abend, Julius, and even Achieve ment, being set down as the victims, fora few brief hours, of the ills horseflesh is heir to at hard times. But they are going on with Hermit just well enough to keep all others from dreaming of running in the first three, and much better than Vauban or Challenge, who are each taking a rest that will not be good for those standing them to do the trick on the 11th of St. Partridge unless they can go into strong work Instanter. Poor Plaudit is in the sale list, Marksman and D'E.tournel are both very " dicky," and Taraban is not to be trusted, consequently there areonly Fervacques and Van Amburgh, after Achievement, Hermit, and Jdius, to talk about se riously, and I am greatly afraid his lionic majesty, for all is now breathing the same air as Surplice did, will not be so fit as at Doncaster hero ought to be. His trainer knows his business too well to rattle a horse of his frame along if there were twenty Bellinger, in perspective, and Van was so backward at Goodwood and Brighton, that without he could stand severe work, his case was hopeless. Such as he and Challenge, or Vauban, or Julius, or perhaps Marksman, may make • " sensation" at Warwick one way or the other ; but in these fast days operators need not wait until a race meeting before they " cooper a favourite," and their doings under the wing of Mr. Samuel Merry will only be of the " bull" and " bear" kind, supposing no brnik down or defeat in a trial should actually happen on either day. Penciller, will have quite enough to do to operate on the event, in the programme, • bakers' dozen of the sixteen advertised having already come to a head, and it will be sharp work to " tumble" to some of these, though the paddock is so handy to the ring that any one can see for himself what horses are fit and well, or merely out for an airing. These are ticklish times, nevertheless, for a poor " prophet," when the weights for so many race, fortunes can be won over are just due ; and to add to the difficulties of dealing with the principal feature of the week, the Leamington Stakes, there are two trainers with lota of five each, among the acceptances. John Day's string all belong to the Marquis of Hastings, whose Lecturer is handicapped with old Moulsey, as though the Brighton and Bath Cup results should be set at naught, at the seine time that John Davis, Redcap, Mir Havelock, and Red ltiband are all " well in." The latter is of no account, and Redmp , must stay better than he did with O poponsx at the meeting by the sea" to carry home even his light impost, whilst Miss Havelock might be in keeping for the Cesarewitch if her Lewes defeat is to be ignored ; so that, John Davis having done quite enough this season to make him stale, it is hard to say what will carp the red and white hoops. Alexander Taylor's five consist of Mr. Payne's Bradasnante, Pintail, and Safety, with Lord Ailesbury'm Whalebone and Lord Paramount ; and we may have both colours represented, Whalebone and Pintail sawing good reason to cry content. The mare is really favoured, and if in form will be an awkward antagonist for the champion of John Day's, even should Miss Havelock carry the heavy metal. The latter is receiving 13 lb from Beeswing, who appears to be Mr. Heathoote's representative, in prefer ence to Monitress at over two atone less ; and Rama gives her 121 b, too, a feat so difficult for him to perform after his Lewes running, that Mr. Chaplin should depend on Mail Train if he hopes for nooses. The pair are both in the Cmarewitch, with Blinklioolis, and until the weights are issued for that their owner may not expose one of his good horses; but should Mail Train be wanted here, he must about win, being almost as well in at 7st 71b as Regalia is at Bet 2lb on her best form, and this is good enough for anything. Retrousse has not been out all the year, and whether he is fit to run I know not, no more than I do whether Lord Westmorland's lighter weight, Thalia, can stay, or Broadlands is the good horse some people set him down. Dr. Syntax or the Lizard are bound to run well for Danes Inn with their light weights ; aevertheless, on this year's best form Pintail looks like beating all the turned loose old crocks, and she might tnumph if Mail Train is not to start, as neither Beeswing nor Miss Havelock may be able to give her the weight, supposing they do perform, and Regalia will always be too uncertain to trust implicitly over • long course now. Mr. Ten Broeck will be there" in all the minor handicaps of the first day, and with following every time his colours are seen ; and he will not be idle in the second day's, though Drum or Delby may be too much for Batthyany in the County, and Mr. Angell or Confederate in the Grand Stand Plate Mr. Bayley, again, having Mariner nicely in the Nursery. The weight for age items are not vastly important, Veda having only to dispose of the Earl to win both the Castle-park and two and three-year-old sweepstakes, and the Cup being certain not to attract more than two or three of the good horses entered, the most likely one to do the trick being Beeswing. The Welter Cup, either Redcap or Black Prince can quaff, though the first day's results may almost spoil the race, and at the same tune throw • great light on the Mem bers' Plate. Margate natives and visitors have their " bit of fun"on Monday and Tuesday, and I pity those who may run up to Shottendane for a quiet day, if the gentry who patronise the cheap excursion train are anything like the gang who " dial" Yarmouth and the Ipswich refreshment room on their way dorm—last Tuesday. The racing will be lees than insignificant, and the two meetings that follow on to Warwick, occupying Thursday and Friday, will not be far removed from plating form, though there are some good animals in the Trial and prin cipal two year old event at Abindon. Orion is in both, and may cleverly win the Abindgdon Stakes, unless Formosa has thoroughly recovered from the illness she was suffering under at Goodwood, albeit Volunteer must " tie him up" ;or the TriaL The principal handicap is a dead failure, so overdone are we just now with little races, and the minor ones must not be looked at until the curtain falls on the Warwick proceedings. These will have a pretty considerable say with reference to the events in the Leicester bill of fare, upon which I can remark no further than that Lady Highthorn should win tho Skeffington Park Stakes, and Success prove himself well-named in the Leicestershire Handicap, unless his party mean busi ness with East Lancashire instead, neither of Mr. Chaplin• being quite so formidable as he is, much as little Bartle may like the mile and a half. One or two very " small potatoes" help to swell the current week's list of fixtures, that are not worth even naming, professional racing men not saving themselves for Doncaster having enough to do to assist first at War wick and then at Abingdon or Leloester.—l am fie., ➢LKrEOR. BETTING IN WNDON.-SATCRDLT. The muster of members to-day was se.anty, and the betting that took place was of a meagre character For the Leamington Stakes Beaming wan the only one backed, 5 to 1 being accepted pretty freely about her, but she was not entrusted with much, sod, in fact, there were very few to lay. For the Great Yorkshire Handicap Laneret and Seville were each supported for a little at 100 to 7, and nothing else was mentioned. Hermit continued to im prove his position for the St. Leger, 35 to 40 being the highest offer against him, while 6 to 4 would have been gladly taken.

"Tae Finar."—Partridge shooting, which was " due" yesterday, and will be in full force to day, pro mises to be at least of an average quality. In Surrey the birds are numerous and strong on the wing. In Sussex, Hants, and Berke, the manors and farms are abundantly stocked ; the coveys vary from fourteen to eighteen in number ; and in Kent partridges are numerous and in very forward condition. In Essex there is a good prospect of sport; birds are plentiful, ■nd there are more than an average number of red legs or French partridges ; but as the latter hare such propensities for running, and will not lie to the doge, few sportsmen try to bag them. In Herta and Bucks birds are said to be of fair average, but in most counties much corn will be outstanding next week, and will harbour partridges. In some isolated instances mutual arrangements are made to defer partridgeshonting for a fortnight. Hares are very plentiful, and rabbits swarm the warrens and coverts. There is a good stock of pheasants in most counties. _ _ Mr. lieanland, a master baker, of Newport, has been committed for trial on a charge of perjury. The offence arose out of a squabble with another tradesman. Two correspondents of the /n.mrness Couricr say that a slight shock of earthquake was felt at Lochbroom Liat week.

I think it right to inform you in the meantime that our physician, who is also physician to the Great Western Railway Provident Society, some time since certified to me that in the year 1866 the average rate of sickness amongst the servants employed upon the Metro politan Railway was leas than half that of the servants em ployed on the Great Western Railway. I may further eters that at the present time none of my men are on the sick list, and that most of them have been employed since we commenced to work the railway in 1863.—1 am, &c., MYLES FENTON, General Manager.

SHREWBBERT AND HEREFORD RAILWAY.—The forty-third half-yearly meeting of shareholders in this company was held on Saturday. at Shrewsbury, Sir C. B. Boughton, Bart , in the chair. The report stated that the dividends for the last half year, at the rate of Gt. per cent. per annum on the consolidated stock of the company, and on the amount paid on the new shares, and also at the rate of at 10s. per cent. per annum on the preference shares, had been received from the lessees, and will be paid tothe share holders to-day. The interest on sums paid in advance of calls up to the 30th of June last was paid to the share holders entitled thereto on the 15th of July. The clauses relating to this company which were introduced into the bill promoted by the Great Western Company in the late session were withdrawn by the promoters. The chair man, in moving the adoption of the report, said that in reply to a communication made by the directors the lessees of the line had stated that no fresh capital was needed, and that no intention existed on their This to call up the unpaid portion at an early date. This reply did not, however, seem very satisfactory to the board, and they had submitted a case for counsel's opinion, and on receipt of that opinion would, if necessary, communicate its pur port to the shareholders. The report was then adopted. CENTRAL WALES RAILWAT.—The half-yearly meeting of shareholders in this company was held on Saturday at Sbrewsbury. The report of the directors stated that considerable progress had been made during the half-year towards the completion of the station ac commodation, and the line generally had been put in con dition to meet the requirements of the through traffic, which would be thrown upon it on the opening of thu Central Wales Ratension line to Llandwery. The extenaion line was opened for traffic to Llanwrtyd in May last, and the works on the remainder of the line are so far advanced that it is confidently expected the line will be opened throughout to Llandwery m January next, in which event the Central Wales and the Knighton Railways will become amalgamated. The chairman (Sir Chs. Rouse Boughton, Burt., moved the adoption of the report, the resolution being seconded and carried unanimously. Two platelayers on the London and North Western (Hill and Clare) were committed for trial by the Liverpool magistrates, on Saturday, for breaking open bales and eases on luggage trains and stealing goods. They bad committed robberies in this way to the extent of between 3001. and 4001.

The outgoing American and Canadian mail steamers this week are the City of London for New York on Wednesday ; the Nestorian for Quebec on the following day ; and the Russia for New York on Saturday. PRZCOCIOUS.—An lowa paper tells the following : —" A few days ago, in Keokuk County, a babe six months old was crying lustily, and the mother was perplexed to know what the trouble was. At last, after it seemed al most exhausted, it spoke with startling distinctness these words—' Give me • drink of water Of course the mother was frightened, but she gave the water, when it immediately went to sleep. The infant had never spoken before, nor has it since. We can vouch for the truth of the above, as we are personally acquainted with the parents o f child.—lino Yeti. Times, August 20. THE POLICE COURT& 9[ANSION•HOUSE. A respectable looking man, named Edward Reader, was brought before Alderman Sir R. Carden, in custo d y of Chula. Brown, a detective officer, charged with steahng a valuable gold watch, the property of Alderman Carter, which be had been entrusted with by that gentleman to Mail% Henry Christie, foreman to Alderman Carter, who carries on business as a watchmaker in Cornhill, stated that the prisoner had been in his employment for about nineteen months, and he was employed upon the premises in doing repairs. In July last he gave him a gold watch to repair, and after some time be asked the prisoner for the watch, and he said he had brought It down stairs, and that it must have been mislaid. Inquires were made which left no doubt that the prisoner most have made away with the watch, and on Thursday witness went to the residence of the prisoner accompanied by Alderman Carter's son, and he again asked him what had become of the watch. The prisoner at tint stoutly denied knowing anything about the watch, but when he was told that this was of no use, and that they were certain that he bad taken the watch, he admitted that he bad pawned it, and said that the duplicate was inar e d ar ze in the back room, and he found it there, and it to have been pledged at the shop of Mr. W , a pawnbroker in Clerkenwell, for 6! . . . The prisoner said that he was promised forgiveness if he told the foremen what had become of the watch. Mr. Christie denied that this was so, and said that what took place was th►t be told the prisoner that if he did not give them any trouble, he would intercede with the alder man to deal leniently with him. The prisoner promised to come to see the alderman on Friday, but he did not do so, and directions were then given that he should be taken into custody upon the present charge. The prisoner re ceived a very good character when he came into the service of the alderman. Alfred Lewis, ahopman to Mr. Woods, a pawnbroker, in Clerkenwell, proved that the prisoner pawned the watch in July, and received 61. upon it at different times. He said he had known the prisoner several months, and he was constantly in the habit of pawning and redeeming watches. Sir R. Carden asked the witness whether he did not con sider it suspicious that a person like the prisoner should be dealing with such a large number of watches? The witness said that it did not create suspicion, be cause he considered the prisoner was a watchmaker in • small way of business. Sir R. Carden told him he could easily have ascertained whether this was so or not, and that by the course be had taken great facilities were afforded for offences of this de scription. He added, that if the employer of the witness had been present be should have made much stronger ex pressions to him than he had done. The prisoner being asked whether he desired to have the ease sent to the Old Bailey, or be dealt with at once, said that he would rather hare it disposed of at once, and he would therefore plead guilty. Sir R. Carden said that it was • very sad thing to see a man who appeared to have borne a good character placed in such a position, and, taking into consideration the con sequences that would necessarily follow, the sentence would not be severe as it otherwise would have been. He then sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for four months. MARKETS. HARDWARE.—Brimittoux, Actium 31.—The re- 1 ports in reference to the state of trade in this town are of • more encouraging character ; it is not that there is any display of animation, but the tone is better, and indica tions of • further reaction are apparent. The county shop keepers are showing • disposition to make up their stocks of goods suitable to the autumn trade, and the factors' travellers are sending home decidedly better-filled order sheets. In the metal trade a reaction has been experienced ; the edge-tool trade is also much better, and the tin-plate workers speak more favourably of the state of business in that breech : the button trade a for the most part inactive, and the jewellers and others who are engaged in the fancy trades report that there is still much room for improve ment. In the foreign department orders are given out with more freedom ; in the 00%110 of the week • fresh sup ply of orders has been given out on account of North America and the United /States. OOTTON.—Lrvgarom, Atiover 31.—Quiet, without quotable change.

COTTON GOODS.—MANCTIESTIR, Avower 31.—The market has been inactive all the week, with prices con stantly tending downwards. On Tuesday yams had de clined id. to td. per lb. from the rates of the previous week, and values have since that s om ewh a t f ur th er de clined. Yesterday and this morning there has been a good deal of business in yarns suitable to China, at the de. r rates, but for all other markets there is very little t business offering. For India and Germany there is no demand. Cloths are dull of sale for all markets, and a decline of prices has taken place nearly in the same pro. portion to that which has affected yarns. Buyers are offering very low prices, and are evidently chary of opera ting. WOOLLEN.—Leans, AUGUST 3L —There was a moderate attendance of buyers at the cloth halls this morning, in cluding a few representatives of Manchester :and London houses, but their operations have notbeen very extensive. The demand has been of a miscellaneous character, and has embraced a sprinkling of most descriptions of goods. There has not been any particular attention paid to goods of any special make, and, with the exception of the trans fer of tweeds, the selections have been entirely of a sort ing-np character. The demand for tweeds, however, continues good, several average parcela having changed hands. Stocks are, nevertheless, on the increase, and a greater variety is now shown in the market than hat pre viously been the case. Coatings and other makes have met with purchasers to a very limited extent. Beavers remain without much alteration ; the better descriptions are still in tolerably fair request. The finer qualities of witneys also meet with purchasers, though not in large quantities. There have been a few good transactions in the better qualities of hair-lists, but the transfer hunt been general. Prices retain their recent position. WOOL AND WORSTED.—Rmoroan, Auoverr 31. Though there was a somewhat cheerful feeling pervading the market at the beginning of the week, there has been little disposition in any department to do business beyond the supply of immediate requirements. Indeed it has been said that the trade was rally less active in the open ing days of the week than it has been for many weeks past. On the whole, however, there has been a steady consumptive demand fur choice sorts of fine haired wool. There has been no change in prices, which are pretty firmly maintained. No advance can be obtained. The fine harvest weather tends to remove anxiety and to give more oonfidence. The worsted yarn branch exhibits no sign of greater activity. Spinners complain of the very unsatisfactory state of their business. Shipping merchants have made more inquiry, but the prices offered are so low that they are hardly remunerative. The transactions in most classes of yarns are very restricted. There has been a slightly improved tor.e in the piece market, without an appreciable improvement in the amount of actual business done. Merchants operate very cautiously. Manufacturers are pretty easy to deal with when there is a prospect of doing business. The American merchants have bought slightly, chiefly from stocks. There is little more doing for Germany. The Lome department is the best. CORN.—CAMBRIDGE, AIRE/IT 31. We had s very small market, and wheat in good supply sold at about last week's prices. Wheat. 545. to 625. Beans, 425. to 445. Oats, 26e. to 30s. CARLISLE, Accuar 31.—The market was thinly attended to-day, many of the farmers of the district being engaged with the harvest.

I.tieesrmt,•ArcrOT 31.—1 n this county harvest work is progressing satisfactorily, and during the past week a large breadth of wheat has been cut. On the light soils the yield of wheat is expected to reach an average, but on heavy lands it will bo deficient. A moderate breadth of bar ley has been cut.andthe crops promise to be tolerably good. Oats are up to the aver age. The grass lands are in a eatia factory state. There was a limited supply of old wheat at to•day'a market, and a moderate sprinkling of new samples. The demand was steady at a reduction of tally la. per qr. Old white made 67a. to 74a. ; old red, 60s. to 67a. per 36 atone.

Fine flour, Ma. to 53a. ; seconds, 45e. to 48a. per 20 stone. NEWCABTLI-ON-Treys, ACCOST :31.—The weather has been Ir/interruptedly fine this week, and the crops making rapid progress towards maturity.

NORWICH, AUGUST 3L—There was only a fair supply of wheat at this market to-day, and with • tolerable de mand prices advanced Is. to 24. per qr. upon all the best conditioned samples. A few rubbed out samples of barley appeared, various in quality ; prices are not fixed. With the exception of a refreshing rain on Monday and Thursday evenings, the weather in the past week has been fine, with • drying wind, enabling farmers to secure the larger portion of the wheat crop in fine order. But few barleys have yet been harvested ; still cutting is now for ward, and should next week prove fine, they will be got up in good condition, • fair proportion proving heavy in weight. White wheat (weighing 62Iba. to 63114.), 645. to 70s. ; red ditto (weighing 60114. to 631ba.), 565. to 625. per qr. Flour, 46.. to 474. per sack.

Since last week the scythe, sickle,and reaping machineehaveMeenactively at work,and • large breadth of all kinds of grain has been cut. In some parte of the county there wiU be some excellent crops of wheat, but in others only moderate. The quality of the new barley is variously reported of, but it is generally admitted that there will he some good malting samples. Oats will yield about an average. At our Corn Exchange to day there was a moderate show of both old and new wheat. The former met • dull sale • the latter we. in demand at 2s. to 3s. per quarter declin e. New whits made 645. to 68e.; new red, 60e. to 64a.; old white, 60a. to 75e.; old red, 6.5 e. to 70s . per 36 stone.

The show of oats was tolerable, and old sorts were disposed of at late rates ; for new prices were the turn easier—old, 35e. to 38e.; new, 2lis. to 31s. per 24 stone. There was a moderate inquiry for beans, which were taken off at unal tered rates—new, 46e. to 50s. per 38 stone. Peas as last week. Super flour, 51E. to Ms. ; fine, 475. to 495. per sack. 011011 D, AUGUST 3L — Harvest operations again caused this Corn Fachange to be thinly attended ; and in err queues of farmers bang unwilling to reduce prices, very little business was transacted. From the remarks made at the market ordinaries respecting the wheat crops, it appeared to be the general opinion that there will not be an average one, and that, therefore, the anticipations of thaw who looked for a great reduction rimp will nosh.) realm/1 Quotations were as follows : -Old wheat, 66e. to 725. per quarter ; new wheat, not much offering, 66a, to 66a. ; new barley, a abort supply, 41s. to 465. ; brine, 465. to 50s. ; ors (old), Ns. to 3.1 e. ; oats (new), 2.55. to 30s. ; flour f.seeonds), 481. per sack .

Some samples of barley, weighing 561bs. per bushel, sold at 425. per qr. READING, AUGUST 31.—Although there was • good attendance of dealer' in the market this morning trade was dull. The samples of new wheat was of a varied character, some very good, whilst others were considerably blighted. Some transactions wore made at last week's prices. The price of last week for barley was maintained, se were also the prices for oats, in which a little business was done. Yogi, AUGUST 31.—We have had another week of magnificent weather, and in this large county the harvest is being conducted rigorously. The crops have ripened wonderfully fast, and in the lower districts a fair quantity of corn has been carried. On the high lands, however, operations will not be general for some days. New cora has been stacked in the more forward places. Some of the barley and oat crops have been laid, but no material damage has been done. The wheat crops promise pretty well. The supply of wheat at our corn market to-day was small. Business quiet, and rates must be quoted la. to 2s. lower than on the week previous. Prices for white were from 645. to 70e; for red, 665. to 665. per 36 stone. Of barley, very little came to hand, and the demand wee moderate, the rates of last week being obtained ; grinding, 38e. to 40s. per quarter. There was a limited show of oats, the quality of which was about as usual. Business was rather slow, but the rates of lest week were realised; new, 2fis. to V.s. per 24 stone.

Malt, 665. to 68a 280 ; rye, 425. per qr. ; flour, 49e. to 50e. per sack of lbs. Winesce Auocer 31.--The farmers are so busy in the harvest field that we have but little business doing hers to-day. Several samples of new wheat and oats offered. The wheat is various in quality, some fine, sonic good,, others thin, and varying from 365. to 665. per qr. Oats are good, and value Lid. to 14d. per stone. The harvest is proceeding with great rapidity. The yield is spoken of as being below an average, but it is too soon to give as opinion. Woactaren, Aucear 31.—At this day's market there was a less supply of nearly all of the new crop, which sold readily at the currency of this day week. Barley scarce, and fully as dear. Oats only taken in retail. Besos. peas Is. per qr. lower. WATIEFORD, AUGUST M.—Two cargoes of maize and one of wheat have arrived from abroad. Without much ac tivity, there hari been a fair amount of business transacted here this week. Sellers lowered their prices for foreign produce, and this induced buyers to operate more freely. For foreign wheat a reduction of 9d. to Is. per barrel led to • much bettor inquiry. Irish—a few samples of new at market, condition various, and prices irregular. Indian corn—The fa advance of Saturday last has been lost. Black oats—very little to hand the past few days, and late rates would now be paid. Flour unchanged. The weather con tinued wet this week, and in almost every way unfavour able for the securing of the crops. Imports this week : Maize, 2,728 qrs.; wheat, 3,373 ; dour, 8 sacks. Exports this week : Oats, 956 brls. ; dour, 7racks ; oatmeal, 50 sacks. TRAFFIC RETURNS. Mlles Pas- Mer- Total, To 118., ILAIWAYS. upon. saninity. eltandias. 1687. 188/. Week cueing August 15.
