ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. ROME CIRCUIT.—GonDroaD, Arocsr 11. (fl. fine Berm Martin and Special Juries.) VILLIAIL,ON r. THE LONDON, BILIONTON, AND SOUTH WANT RAILWAT. This was a new trial to recover damages from the defend ants for injuries sustained by the plaintiff in consequences of the terrible accident that took place loan excurmou trim io the CLiyton tunnel, in August last year. The amount of damages claimed by the plaintiff was 2,0004, and the de ' &indents raid 400/. into court. Bernant Shee, Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Butler Rigby wen commie for the plaintiff ; Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Mr. Lea man, 4.C., and Mr. Hansen appeared for the company. The plaintiff in this action is a young WAD about twenty-five years of age, and who at the time the accident ooeuned was in the service of a pianoforte manufacturer, named Bateman, in London. He and his brother were in the train when the accident took place, and theyboth brought actions against the company, and they were tried at the last March manes at Lewes, when the company agreed to give the plaintiff's brother 2501. damage, In the case of the plaintiff they paid 400/, into court, aml in the coune of the trial they offered to give • further *urn which was not accepted, and on a pro position being made and agreed to that the plaintiff should be examined by a medical gentleman on behalf of the ONO. limy, that gentleman was examined, and in the result the *y gave a verdict that the .400/. paid into enact was the. Went compensation for the injury the plaintiff received, which was of coons tantamount to • verdict for the &- fondest*. An application was subsequently made for a new trial, which was granted, and it appears that the com pany then nude an application to the O'Mara attorney to .lbw the plaintiff to be examined by some eminent medical men in their behalf to eadeavour to ascertain his actual 000dition. The plaintiff's attorney consented to this being done upon the condition that other eminent medical men might be present at the time the plaintiff was examined on his behalf, and that whatever the result of the examination might be the company should pay all the expenses that were invurrral. The company would not accede to these terms, and an application was made to Mr. Justiee Willes to mats an order that the examination they requured should take place, but that learned judge refused to make the order, and it was then &immured that the case should be sent down for trial at these amine. Mr. &will, when thec;Me;;;;;ille4lOn --- appliedto Mr. Baron Martin to postpone the trial in order to afford an opportunity for the plaintiff to be examined by some medi cal gentleman, whose attendance had been obtained by the company for that purpose. Baron Martin said that a sitcilar application had already been made to Mr. Justice Willea, and refined by him, and be should not revers* that decision. The case for the plaintiff was then proceeded with, but as all the facts were given very fully at the last trial and at the time the aecident occurred, it will be unnecessary to de tail them at any length on the present occasion. It will be remembered that on the 25th of August in last year three trains started from Brighton for London, two of which were excursion trains, and the third the regular train from Brighton, and it appeared that they were all my much be hind at starting ; the one in which the plaintiff and his brother were, which was an excursion train, being twenty-five minutes later than the proper time for starting. Upon arriving at the Claytoo.tunnel, all the trains came up nearly together, and in consequence of one of them backing out of the tunnel, a frightful col lision took place. by which a great many persona were and a number of others received serious injury ; and seventeen actions were disposed of at the March Assizes at Lewes, arising out of the accident. The case on the part of the plaintiff was, that in consequence of the accident he received some severe contusions ; but the most serious injury of which he complained was alleged to have been occasioned to the spine, from which be was represented to lave suffered very severely ever since the accident happened, and from which. according to the evidence of Dr. Marshall, Dr. &gaud, Dr. Jones, and other eminent medical men, it was doubtful whether be would ever recover, end Dr. Marshall, who appeared to take the most favourable view of the case, expressed an opinion that, under any circum stances, the plaintiff would not be restored to health in less than five years, and probably longer, and that it would doe' micessary, to give him a chance of recovery, that be should sot do work of any kind, and that he should be nursed with she greatest care and attention. The plaintiff, who appeared to walk with extreme difficulty, and who stated that he was suffering great pain. gave evidence as to the accident, and the consequences that had resulted from it, and although be was cross-examined at some length by Mr. Bovill, sabres was elicited that appeared to affect the evidence he bad given in chief. Mr. Bovill addressed the jury in an able speech for the company, who, he said, bad all along been desirous to do what was right said give full compensation to all the parties who had suffered by this unfortunate accident ; but believing that the plaintiff bad in reality not sustained so nisch injury as was represented, and that the sum they had Paid into court was an ample compensation for the injury • had actually received, they felt it to be their duty to mat what they considered to be an exorbitant demand that was made upon them. A number of eminent medical gentlemen, among whom were Mr. Lawrence, formerly President of the Royal College .[Surgeons, and senior surgeon of St. Bartholomew's Hos pital ; Mr. Hilton, of Guy's Hospital : Mr. Skey, of St. Bartholomew's Hospital ; Mr. Adams, senior surgeon of the London Hospital ; and Mr. Hall. a physician practising at Brighton. the latter of whom saw the plaintiff immediately after the accident happened, were then examined, and they stated, that although the spine might have received some injury, still that it was not of a permanent character, and they all expressed • positive opinion that in twelve months, sad probably even is a shorter period, the plaintiff would be perfectly recovered, and they also said that the satiety consequent upon an undecided lawsuit, like the one in which he had been concerned, was very well calcu lated to retard his recovery. Mr. Hall also stated that in January last be met the plaintiff in the King's-road, Brighton, and that he was walking vigorously and strongly, as though he was not suffering any pain, and be said that be took particular noticed him. because he was aware that he had at this time brought an action against the company, acid was seeking to recover 500/. damages from them. The jury retired at 30 minutes to 7 o'clock to consider their verdict, and in about lye and twenty minutes they returned into court and gave a verdict for the plaintiff— damages 1,0341., being 6341. in addition to the stint paid into court. (Before Baron Bramwell) r. NIXON. This was an action to recover damages for a breach of an rneut that had been entered into by th e d e f en d an t, s 7 u ' m in dispute, as it appeared, being one of about twenty shillings. Mr. Laxton was for the plaintiff ; and Serjennt Parry and Yr. Needham for the defendant. The plaintiff, it appeared, was the tenant of the defen dant, and occupied one of his houses, at a certain rent, with the understanding that the latter was to pay all rate* and taxes. It seemed that a sum of fifteen shillings was not paid for property tax. and the consequence was that a ensure took place, and the plaintiff had to pay about five killings expenses, and for this trumpery matter the present action was brought against the defendant. Rerjeant Parry, at the close of the case for the plaintiff submitted that there was nothing to go to the jury, and that property tax was not one of the taxes included in the agreement. Re contended that it only applied to the usual rates, and that the property tax was a tax created by a special act of parliament, and the plaintiff ought to have paid it and deducted it from his rent. Baron Bramwell said he was very glad that he felt himself *tilled in giving effect to the objection that had been taken by the learned counsel. It was scandalous nay, almost in famous, that such an action should have b een brought, and be was very glad that he was able to say that the plaintiff could not recover the guinea, which was the whole amount a dispute, because he was of opinion, that by his agree ment he only undertook to pay the usual taxes, and that property tax was not included in them. The plaintiff was then nonauited. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—WARWICK, Aroma . 11. atowx Coon.—(Before the Lord Chief Baron Pollock.) THE WARWICKSHIRE HURDKR. George Gardener, • ploughman, was indicted for the wilful murder of Sandi Kirby, • fellow servant to whom he had leen paying his Addressee, on the 22nd of April last. Mr. O'Brien and the Hon. E. C. Leigh were for the pro secution ; and Mr. Stephen for the defence. The prisoner, a short, thick-s.t young man, with • dogged east of features, was employed as waggoner at an isolated farmhouse a few miles from Henley-inArdeo, and in the road to itedditch. The deceased, who was employed at the time farm-house in the capacity of maid servant, eight months prior to the murder complained to the housekeeper that Gardener had made several fessucceesful) attempt. to kiss her ; he was in fact dextrous of paying his addresses to the girl, who was extremely good looking, and moreover pious, het his attentions were a source of annoyance to her. Gardener's master remonstrated with him on the subject, and nothing further was beard of the matter, though one of the fellow servants noticed that he was in the habit of watching deceased through a little crevice which separated their bed chambers. The night previous he vent in drink ing, and on the morning of the murder he *Thal wildly to his fellow employi's about killing somebody, and add deemed would not draw him any beer-she deserved to be shot. His master was absent at a neighbouring cattle fair, and, taking advantage of this circumstance, prisoner speedily carried his design into execution. His tin **peeling victim drew him she "beer" he said be required, and then retired to the! washbouse, whew she was engaged. The primmer soon afterwards asked her to fetch the master's double-barnslled gun out of the house. She did so readily, knowing be was la the habit ef "bootie( rooks with it. and else returned to her washing. Be took the percussion off one nipple and nicked it, in order **when it was discharged it might not hang fire. He then pot on the cep again, and as the girl was stooping over rise weshree tab he fired at her, the charge entering the spine just below the seek. The poor girl fell back and died ' budimitly. The defies, was that the firing of the gun was purely accidental, and that prisoner had - never thought of injuring the deceased. No witnesses were tolled. and The jury found the primer Guilty of wilful murder. He was sentenced to death, without the slightest hope of enerey. He did not manifest the slightest feeling through out the trial. THE EXPRESS, THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE A midille.o4eill man , who gave the 'opposed fictitious name of 171,,5, les West, of Wernigate, York, was brought up on muted, charged with stealing a diamond no;, value 81., from the shop of Mr. Cockayne, 154, Fenchurch-street, , jeweller. Mr. Warmed, solicitor to the Society for the Prosecution of Shoplifters, &c., was instructed to prosecute ; Mr. Lewis, jue., defended the prisoner. The facts of the cue were given upon the last examina tion. The prisoner went into the shop of the prosecutor ' and asked to see a pearl ring which was among some others in • tray in the window. He wss shown the ring by the assistant (Alfred Collins), and Le asked for a card, which was given to him. He that said he wanted the ring for his sister, and he would go and bring her at noon. The witness Collins, however, happened to look at the nags in the tray, and from one compartment he noised a diamond ring, worth W., and found in its place a common paste ring very similar to the one he missed. He said nothing to the prisoner, bat left the tray on the counter and went to the door to send for an officer, and on his return the spurious ring was gone and the mining ring was lying loose on the tray. An o mo er took the prisoner to the station, when he was searetisel, sod all the money found upon him was 3jd. The spurious ring was not found. The prisoner, who said he had not touched the ring, was remanded that inquiries might itmade, and to uoertain whether the descrip which he bad given of himself was cornet, and yesterday, when he was brought up, • letter was handed to the sitting magistrate, which had been re ceived by the poliosat Ludes. from the police authorities at York. It stated that there was so such name as the prisoner gave known at Waruigate e the only No. 10 beieg empty, and bad bees so for some tome—and that no hatter was ever known to be established there—it being the resort of, the word classes of thieves in that town The prisoner was committed for trial upon that charge, sad he was then further charged with having stolen • diamond ritg, worth 171- 175., from the shop of Mr. Burton, of Church-street, Hackney, under precisely similar circumstances, and the loss was not discovered until the 'text morning, when the window was drewed, when it was discovered that • fine stone diamond ring was miring from the tray, and in its plans was found a common pare ring, almost valuator, but exactly similar to the one whisk was missed. The prisoner was positively identified by Mrs. Burton as the man who west into the shop and asked to look at an opal ring which was in the tray, and which was the only ring that was not marked. Mr. Burton was out, and she did not know the exact price, and the prisoner said he would all the next day. He was the only perm to whom that tray of rings was shown that day. A police constable who was on duty sear the shop like wise swore to having sees the prisoner in Church-street with • man and • woman, and also that he saw him go into the shop and come out. He took particular notice of the prisoner, as he thought his manner was rather suspicious, but he did not see anything wrong. Another witness also swore to the prisoner as the man who looked at the ring—in fact there could be no mistaking him, as he was so much pitted with the small pox as to draw attention. The prisoner, who stoutly denied being the man, was com mitted for trial upon that charge a/ao ; and Monger, a de tective, said there was another clear 'came against the pri soner, but the witnesses not being present, be applied for a remand, which was granted. Virtor Bargie was charged with entering the premises of Dr. Ellis., 63, Sloane-street, on Sunday morning. He had been previously cooricted of burglary. l'ohee-constable 209 B said that at a little before three o'clock on Sunday morning he had reason to believe that some one bad gone over a wall. He accordingly searched the buildings iu the neighbourhood until he found the pri soner lying behind the door of Dr. Elliss's surgery. He had endeavoured to conceal himself under a quantity of clothing, but witness dragged him out and conveyed him to the station, where a knife and some matches were found upon him. -- Inspector Butler—l visited the prisoner in his cell yes. terday, at two o'clock, having suspected him of committing a robbery in Cadogen-terrace on Friday morning last. I searched him, and found a pair of socks upon him. Charlotte Short—l am servant to Mr. Charles Reeks, 6, Cadogaa-terrace. I identify the socks produced as my master'..

Yesterday Constance Wilson, alias Catherine Taylor, ....gain brought pp at Lambeth Poliee-coart for farther examination in relates to the charge of having named the death by poison of Yrs. Somata in October, 1856. Mr. Chipper&ld, as on the former ocomions, attended for the prosecution ; and Mr. Neale for the defence. The deposition of Mrs. Niche having been read over to that lady. she suggested several amendments, which were accordingly made, and in reply to Mr. Norton she said that at the time of her mother's death she did not suspect the Kisoner, but that after the alleged robbery, which witness believed at the tune to be fictitious, she hrd her suspi cions like her uncle, Mr. Barnes, who had always expressed his suspicious against the prisoner. In reply to lir. Chipperfield, Mrs. Niche said that on the Friday before her mother's death the prisoner went out of the house, and was absent at least two hours. She did sot say what she was going out for. In the course of the Thursday or Friday witness did not see her mother empty the slops. Her mother 000ld not have done so, as she was too ill to get out of bed. She saw the prisoner empty them on the Thursday, for her mother was too ill to more. Mr. Chipperfield— Now it has been said in this court that either you or the prisoner told Dr. Whidbonroe that your mother had lent a large sum of money to a man she met in an omnibus, somewhere near the Angel, at Islington, and to whom she was to be married. Was it you that made that statement to the doctor? Witnees—No, air ; nor anything to tf at effect. Nor did I say to Inm that my mother had been poisoned, or any thing about poisoning ; and if Dr. Whidbourne has heard anything of that kind it was not from me. The prisoner took possession of my mother's keys and all other things belonging to her. My mother wss accustomed to keep her receipts on a file, And her money in a cash-box. I cannot say how soon after her death I looked for the cash-box, but when it was found there was no money in it. On the day after the death, namely, the Saturday, the keys, together with my mother's purse containing one shilling, were brought downstairs to me into the front kitchen by some person that Ido not remember. The cash-box was generally kept in one of the drawers of a chest of dra wers which stood in the kitchen. In crone-examination the witness said she remembered the apartments the prisoner had occupied on the lint door. They bad been occupied by a lady and gentleman named Haddon before they were let to the prisoner, and she had no recollection of a robbery having been committed there before the prisoner came. It was Dot true that there were duplicate keys of the rooms of the bones 27, hut there were two keys to each of the rooms of the house No. 13, one for each lodger and one for themselves. She did not remember the prisoner complaining of her having lost something from I her room, and that the police were called in on that coca ' Mon. She had never heard her mother talk of getting mar , ried again, but she had heard the prisoner and her mother joking together about marriage ; and when she spoke to her mother about it she said, If there would be any good to you both (meaning her Meter and herself) then it might be." There wee Do particular person mentioned. At the time of this conversation her mother spoke in • joking tone. She never knew on any occasion of the prisoner hay ing borrowed any money from her mother. The prisoner paid her rest regularly. The ten pomade demanded of me on the promissory note was paid in two paymeota, the last about a fortnight after my mother's death, out of money I had borrowed from my uncle. In reply to Mr. Norton, the witness said that the promissory note was entirely in her mother's handwriting. With respect to the prisoner going out on the Friday, she had not mentioned it on her former examination because she had not been asked about it ; but she was sure it was on the Friday the prisoner went out be cause on that day she (witness) was settling with her mother, and she could not recollect who it was who brought her down the keys to the frost kitchen. The depositions of Mies Sarah Sonnies were here read over to that witness, who, in farther examination by Mr. Chipperfield, said that she bad written to her uncle, Mr. Barnes, about this prosecution, immediately after she had reads report in the newspapen of the vitro! case. Mr. Norton inquired the meaning of the " vitri o l mime' Mr. Chippertield replied that it was • ease in which the pri soner had been tried at the Central Criminal Court, for admi nistering vitriol or sulphuric acid to a Mrs. Fanell, and on that charge she had been acquitted. The fact had been elicited in the course d the cross-examination of the witness, and it was therefore admissible on the present deposition. Mr. Norton—Certainly. Examination resumed-IWitnees only saw one bottle of medicine. On the Wednesday evening after the witness had gone up with the prisoner, the latter cams down stain again alone in about a quarter of an hour, and brought with leer a. pork-pie, which she mid had been sent to her from the oonatry. On the Friday preceding her mother's death the prisoner many times told her that her mother was very much better, but her mother said, in the prisoner's hearing, that she did not feel at all better. She did not my anything to Dr. Vilidbouree about her mother haring heat 80f. to &woe man she met, nor did she my anything to him about her mother haring taken poison. She never saw any th ing in the manner of b e e mo th er t o indi cate that she wished to destroy herself. On the contrary, on the Thursday her mother told her to mend her petticoat, in order that it might be ready for her use when she got hotter._ The &mealtime were thee signed by the two witnesses, who were respectively bound over to appear and give evi. degas against the prisoner cat the charge of wilful murder, at the sessioes of the Coated Criminal Court to be holden on Monday, tied September next. Mr. Miele complained of the absence of medical evi deaeer withontwAiehthire was so cue for committal. Mr. Olapperesid mid the medical oviduct* would be rap. plied at the nest extuniestioo, for which purpose he asked for a further reused . Mr. Norton rested the application, and intimated that at the dose of the awe he should certainly commit the prisoner far trial. TUESDAY EVENING, THE MURDER IN THE ISLE 07 &HIPPY. The inquest on the body of William Elliott; who was found deed under eircumstaums which left little doubt thut he bad bees brutally , murdered, wu resumed peter day before Mr. Thomas Hills, coroner of the county, at Mu I Halfway public-house, Minster, near quienaborough, isle of Sheppy. It will be remembered that at an early hoer on the morn ing of Wednesday, the 30th ult., the body of • man was foiled lying in a wheat field, at • place called Pheamente-field, about • mile front the Halfway-house, with marks of gunshot wounds on his face and chest that had been recently made. The matter being pet into the bands of Mr. Superintendent T. M. Green, of the ' Kent county constabulary, the corpse was at once identi fied as being that of • man named William Elliott, about 30 years of age, and who was a single man, in employment at Sheerness Dookyanl. At the opening of the inquiry some merely formal evidence was taken, and no clue was at that time found to bring to light the perpetrators of the frightful deed, but the activity of the police resulted in the arrest, on suspicion, on Monday, the 4th inst., of two men, William Johnson, a corn dealer and small farmer, re siding at Sheerness, and his son, Edward ithElloo, living at the same plus with his father. The prisoners were taken before the sitting magistrates at Sitting bourne last Tuesday, and several witnesses were ex amined, but it was considered advisable for the fur therance of the ends of justice that the details of the examination should Dot be made public . Tke evidence, however, was purely circumstantial, but so far con clusive as to warrant the bench of magistrates In remand dig the prisoners to Si. Augustine Gaol, and to refuse the bail which was offered by Mr. Johnson, the solicitor, of Faversham, who attended on behalf of the accused. At the sitting of the court yesterday the learned coroner read ever the evidence taken on the previous oomaion. John Cheeseman, • boot sod shoe maker, living at Sheerness, identifted the deceased. _ Mr. Edward Stride, surgeon, stated that he saw the body of the deceased man a little after one o'clock on Wednes day, the day of the supposed murder, and found on exa mination external marks of gunshot wounds on the right side of the chest, as well as some on the forehead, and the whole of the face. On the right side of the chest the shots bad nearly all entered the lungs ; one of the shots had passed through the eye, and those in the face had it deeply. Death had been occasioned by the shots pees. tratiog the lungs, and the shot& had doubtless proceeded from a gun held on a level with the chest of the deceased. There were no other marks of violence on the body, nor any • that the deceased bad been engaged in say struggle Superintendent T. M. Green stated that he found the body of the deceased os thke i ll i v referred to in Pheaaaut's.beld— about eight or nine • train the fence separating the field from the road. deceased was lying on his be* with hie hands by his side. There was some blood no the side of the fence next the road, as if the deceased had been dragged through the fence, and then was also blood in the road. Within about three yards of the Noce these was more blood, as if the body had been left there for a short time, and marks were then visible of its having been dragged on the back in • semi-circle to the spot when it was found, about five yards from the blood he referred to as being in the field. ---- George Elliott, brother of deceased, said the deceased lodged with him, and he last saw him alive about 8 o'clock on the evening of the 29th ult., when witness went out, leaving the deceased at home meudiug his jacket. Witness did not beer of the murder till the next morning. He had had no quarrel with his brother. Withal/ did not take a gun out with him an that night, neither did the deceased do so, as far as be knew. _ George Curtis, 14, residing at Queenbormigh, deposed to , on the night the murder was committ ed a man crouc along io • field by the side of the Toed. Them a wee dressed is • white smock frock, but was not the de ceased, who afterwards wished witness •• Good night." Os reaching his home witness heard a gun fire.

After walking some time he got up into the cart. Frederick Alfred Lem, the son of a former, also deposed to meeting the elder Jamison and his son ia a cart on the night in question. Sergeant Koski, d the Kent county police, said be asked the two Johnson' if they had been near the spot where the murder was committed oo the night in question, when they admitted they hod.

It appears from the financial statement of this company for the half-year ending the 30th of June last that 13,755,495/. had been received on shares, aid 11,102,9821. on debentures, loans, Sm., making the total remipte oa capital account 24,858.4771. The total expenditure oa capital account in respect of the various railways, works, and plant belonging to the company amounted to 21,938,3341., and in subscriptions and disbursements for ether undertakings to 2,199,8221., making together 24,138,1561., and leaving a baleen, of 790,3211. The capital account of the Shrewsbury lines now belonging to the Great Western Company shows that 3,647,015/. had been expended upon them. The joint capital account of the Greet Western and West Midland Companies shows a total outlay of 695,272/. The koint revenue account of the Great Western and West Midland Railways for the belf.yeer ending the 30th of Julie shows that 1,244,7281. had been received, sad 618,4061., or 49438 per . cent. ex pended in working the traffic, hr. ; 31,7061. paid for rent charges on 11 branch railways, also 16,3471. for interest on capital expenditure on joint account, and 88,2501. for fixed rent and allowance for plant, da., of South Wales Railway, leaving a Mimes of 541.202/. for division between the y two companies. Of this the Great Western receives 82i per cent., or 446,4921., and the West Midland Com pany., 174 per cent., or 94,7101. From the 446,4921. received by the Great Western they first deduct 2,5001. towards parliamentary and legal expenses, and 1,5001. for doubtful debts, leaving 442,4921. To this is added 10,4241. brought forward from the preceding half year ; 12,0001. a portion of balances reserved from revenue account prior to the 30th of June, 1861 ; and . 12,4381. for dividends oa abates in other companies, makes the total 477,3541. From this sum is deducted 20,1804 for versa teed annuities to Wilts, Somerset, wad Weymouth Railway, and Rennet and Avon Canal ; 20,666/. for rent-charges of the Gloucester and Dean Forest, the Here ford, Roos, and Gloucester, Breathed Dock, Wyeombe Railway, and trustees of Packlingtee &tete ; 65,638/. in respect of interest and dividends ow the Shrews bury hoes ; and, finally, 347,4401. for lutenist ea loans and preference shares (exclusive of 12.7991. charged in joint account), leaving a dimmable sum of 23,4201.—0ut of which it is proposed to tay a dividend at the rate of • half per ' cent. per annum, being for the ball-year aiding the 30th of June last, 20,59.3/. ; leaving a balm°, of 2,8271. At the corresponding period of 1/461 the disposable sum was 95,0691. ; the rats of dividend 24 percent. per annum, being for the half-year 92,6691., leaving a balance of 2,4001., ' showing a decrease in the disposable sum of 71,6491., and an increase in the balance carried over of 4271. This com parison is Dot of much use, because the circumstances of the 'Great Western are quite different now from what they ! were at the corresponding period of 1861. Oa the Ist of July, 1861, the Great Western sad West Midland commenced I working together on joint account, and at the end of the half-year, December 31. the total receipts were 1,212,2011., and the portion divisible between the two companies we. 714,3101., of which the Great Western took 824 per eent.or 589,4711., and the West Midland 17 4 per met. or 125,0 39 1. The result was that the Great Western Company had a die ' ramble balance of 133,9831., out of which he, declared a dividend at the rate of 3 per rent per minim, which eh- eorbed 123,5501., and left a balance of 10,4241., with which they commenced the past year. On the lit of January last the two companies jointly commenced to lease and work the South Wales Railway, paying the latter a minimum rent of 170,0001. a-year, and also me ' Min allowances for plant and expenses. The payment to the South Wales Company under this arrangement for the past half.year ending the 30th of Jane amounted to 88,2501.

AUGUST 12, 1862. nu BRITISH AND FOREIGN CORN TRADE. (From the Mark-lane Express.) The splendid weather of last week has given place to • decided change, there baring been many heavy showers throughout the country, with Thursday nonsually rough. Stel the estimated damag hiherto is light, as evinced by the little di ff erence in the b ut t London market. As respects the essulesta and grasses, much benefit must result ; but without areturn of settled weather the condition of the ce reals is endangered where they are cut, and some wale must ensue from delay. The winds having been fresh, and the sod dry, but little harm seed yet be apprehended. The accounts of the probable yield wallow, very conflicting ; but they are not so as regards stocks, which, both in the country and shipping ports, are very low, insomuch that any disaster could not fail to send up prices smartly. The Cogolden time experienced here has also been enjoyed on the ntioent. French farmers have gathered in much, and gen rally Seem satisfied, sod willing sellers of their new produce. It is the same in Belgium and Holland, where prices have lowered. All over Germany they have either begun cutting wheat, or are Dear it; but it is not so well spoken of in Poland, where accounts, till lately, were most favourable. Prices have been generally . shaken by the late fiue weather ; and a timely fall of ram in the Danubian principalities has saved the crop of maize. with every prospect of abun dance. It is to be hoped, too, that the beneficial showers have reached to Italy, if not too late. At New York, the duller deices from Europe and reaction in the value of gold have brought about • reduction in brew:lista& ; but huge shipments have been made, which will serve to feed the markets here till the new corn cornea in plenty. From the !rimier of stocks, every cargo that has quality in it will be wanted, either for grinding by itself or for mixing. The arrivals off the coast since the let of August were 71 of which 36 cergoes we wheat, 13 maize, 11 t ar e ir ' dr re and the rest miscellaneous. The busbies, reported was as fellows :—Ohirka wheat at 45a. 3d. to 465. bard Taganrog at 44e., Danube at 395. 3d. to 41s. 3d., Egyptian at • 7s. 3d., irdwitukie at 475. to 475. 6d., amber at 48a. to 48e. 3d., maim at 29e. 3d. to 305. 6d., barley at Zia to 245. 9d., Egyptian beans at 315.9 d. to El.. per qr. The sales noted last week were 52,750 qrs. wheat at 575. &1.. against 65,137 qrs. in 1861. The London averages wen 60s. 4d. on 1.927 qrs. ' The import, into the United Kingdom for the week ' ing the 2nd of August wars, 206,079 qn. wheat, and 147,749 cwte. flour. Monday commenced in Mark-lane on • good foreign supply of wheat, though there was very little of home growth. There were vary few fresh samples from Kent and Eager during the morning, and none of the new crop; but the, weather having been splendid, business was very languid, and millers bought but slowly, at about former rates. The foreign trade was exceed ingly dull. Fine parcels is granary were not offered at less money ; but where sales were made ex ship, lower prices were taken for quantities ; and all inferior &empties' were down le. to 2s. per qr. The floating trade was in calm, but cargoes were not offered cheaper generally. On Wednesday there were 220 p.. per coast and 6,280 cps. foreign. This was • quiet day, the weather continuing superb ; but the small quantity of English on offer kept prices at their former range. The business done In foreign was on • small scale at former rates. Friday's returns were 540 qrs. per coast, and 10,570 qrs. foreign. The heavy rain of Thursday, and still doubtful aspect of the weather, gave more firmness to holders of Essex and Kinitish samples, which sold more readily. It was the same with foreign, and, though the Wm:ldris* was thin, more business was transacted. _ _ There was a fair average quantity of country floor on Monday, and • heavy arrival from America. Norfolk', though nominally the same, were scarcely saleable. Barrels, unless very choice, were fully 6d. per barrel lower; bat town rates were unchanged. On Wedosedaythere were 890 sack' per coast, and 130 sacks 7,270 kis. foreign. This was a very dull day ; but holden of Norfolks did Dot propose lower terms, nor did foreign factors in their offers of American qualities. Town pnces remained firm. Friday's qualities coastwise were 1,150 lacks, with 1,130 sacks 11,120 brie. foreign. The rain that had fallen kept up the Take of country sorts, and there was more inquiry for barrels at fully the former quotations. There was scarcely any British barley on Monday, and but a moderate arrival from abroad. The few parcels of new English on show were not enough to make • market; but the heavier and sweeter descriptions of foreign rather hardened is value, old grinding selling quietly on former terms. On Wedn esday there were no arrivals, English or foreign. The weather being exceedingly fine, no increased value could be realised in the sale of either English or foreign samples. Friday's quantities were only 10 qrs. par meat. The change to unsettled weather did sot enable fac tors then to realise any improvement in prime ; but there was a more ready sale. The malt trade remained quiet, with prices unchanged. At the week's close there was lees difficulty in plating maniples. The oat trade was well supplied in consequence of the arrival of plenty from Archangel, which alone reached to 30,000 qrs. This abundance of one sort satiated the de mand, sad produced • quiet state of trade for Rtil•1110 qualities ; but sweet corn from the Baltic fully maintained it. value, being very scarce. On Wednesday there were only 10 qrs. per coast, nothing from Ireland, and but 17,250 qrs. from abroad. Fresh Baltic sorts, such as Swedish and Danish, still sold well ; but there was rather boa demand for Russian qualities. Friday's returns were 10 gm per coast, 1,170 qrs. Irish, and 21,720 qrs . foreign. This fur supply of foreign more than counterbalanced the change of weather ; and prices of Russian costa were scsumly so reli able as at the beginning of the week. The supply of native beano on Monday was small, and not very abundant from abroad. Egyptian sorts, both of the old and new crop, were held rather higher, and all descrip tions were firm. There was no change on Friday. There were but few English peas on Monday, and sot many foreign. The new duns that appeared were fine, and worth 365. to 38e. Foreign white, for feeding, were not much in request. Priem remained unaltered at the week's end. . . . . The linseed supply was moderate, and half taken for export. Prioee therefore were still pointing upwards, and even cake participated in the movement. On Friday the prices of linseed were rather higher. Bed cloverseed was firm. rain being wanted for the crop. White also and trefoil were steady, and canary (a very short breadth being reported) rather gained in value for good qualities. Other seeds much the Name. Though the weather, up to Thursday, had been all that could be desired, and the country wheat markets were gene rally but poorly supplied, very few noted the least improve ment, and that only amounted to Is. per qr. in rare in stances, and more especially for white wheat. In fact, the agreement was such that specification seems mine emery. Liverpool oe Tuesday had bat a retail inquiry for wheat, on the previous week's terms, some pleasing bolder, taking it to 2d. per cental less. Spring corn was unchanged in value, beans excepted, which were slightly lower. On Friday the change of weather made no difference, excepting that maize was Gd. per qr. dearer. Barley, oats, beans, and peas this week were generally without change. At Edinburgh wheat gave way Sd. to Is. per qr. ; but fine oats improved aa much. Scotch wheat of doe quality maintained rte value at Glasgow ; but low American de clined Sd. per boll, and floor 3d. to Gd. per brL Oats were 3d. to 6d. per boll higher, and pea@ advanced as much. At Dublin holders of foreign wheat asked more money ; but failing in this, made large sales. Maize and flour were not so brisk. FOREIGN. The Paris flour market, though dull, bag undergone little change during the past week. the lowness of the waters making the manufacture difficult ; no that millers have been careless sellers. Priem have ranged for first qualities from 59 to 63 francs per 159 kilos. (equal to 38s. 6d. to 41s. per 2801ba. English.) Four the four sad six marks 61f. 50e.

Old barley remained dull at the low rates-15f. 150. to 16f. per 100 kilos. ; and no new was on show. Oats, being well reported, were fully 1 franc per 150 kilos. cheaper, the best not being over 28f. 50c. per 150 kilos. Rapeseed sold freely at 43 to 45 franc, per 101 kilos., and trifolium incarnatum had advanced to 82 francs per bolt The country wheat market' were all tending downwards for wheat, from 30 centimes per beet. to If. 110 c.

At Antwerp there was a very moderate oonsumptive demand, at fonmerprioes, Stettin wheat moving off in retail at 61s. 641. Courtrai noted a reduction of Ss. 6d. per qr. Liege was down 21. for wheat, sad le 3d. for rye and oats ; the top price of wheat was 61s. Rapid progress had been making with the harvest in Hol land. Prices were scarcely sustained at Amsterdam, the new con having become plentiful in the interior. Rye wars neglected, but holden did not offer at less money. A change to beautiful weather at Ramberg bad lowered rates. The rye harvest was far advanced, and well reported as to yield and quality • so that prices were Is. tok wl 6 4 :l l . per qr. down.

The business in wheat was sleeked by pretensions of holders, but since the completion of certain shipments on baud a earn bad ensued.

Tosalay noising was threatening, with • little rasa at 6 a.m., but it cleared up sad was • boisterous warm day. Thermometer up to 70. From the east coast of Yorkshire, oar advice. state that "the weather, with the exception of a single day, has been all that could be desired for the crops, and in the southern counties bar vest has already commenced. The accounts vary from almost every locality as regards wheat, but smog non ' is generally spoken of with more confidence." From Suffolk the manse day it wee remarked—"pistons weather for ripening the pals since our last. The harvest for wheat and peas in all Use early districts is now general, and • few samples of the sew crop of wheat and many of the new per were on sale to-day. Lead sad universal are the complaints of the wheat, eves more dis appointing than we expected. We do sincerely hope the sample of wheat sold do not repreesat the crop, indeed we do believe they can do no more than of the very early sown, or • deplorable time is before the Suffolk farmer." From another part of the county it was *barred, " Our farmers continue to take gloomy views of their wheat crops. Cut ting in this immediate locality will commence in a week or ten days." Slight showers fell occasionally on Wednesday, but upon the whole it turned out • tolerably favourable day. From Nottinghamshire it was remarked, " The weather since last week has been of a highly favourable character, and the growl's; mops have made wanks's! prOIPSOL " Some very heavy showers fell at intervals throughout Thursday, with severe of wind from the S.W. Braved work would be generally, wherever such weather was experienced, and it appeared to extend to very may counties of England. la the neighbourhood of Lincoln them are some fair crops of mart articles, and harvest will be pretty general in some districts in the course of next week. From Worcestenhire, it was remarked, "The weather the last few days has been very unsealed ; very heavy storms and high wind. The late barley is teach improved." From Suffolk, our correspondent writee—" Up to lut evening the weather continued uninterruptedly file; since then we have had frequent showers, with • strong breeze. To-day is wet. Farmers have cut their early awes of wheat and barley, a portion of which is already secured, and is • few more days harvest will be general. Ae yet we have no cm tain reports, bat tbe appearance of the samples of the Talavera and white wheals does sot iodieate a good yield." Again, from the coast of Suffolk, the advice, say—" The weather has been warm and sessonable. To-day we have chewers, with a strcmg gale of wad ; sin was mach wanted, and will do good. As the cutting of wheat progresses, opinions of the crop do not improve; all the early whisk ' are undoubtedly very defective, and therefore very inferior in quality, and it is feared that the crop generally will vary greatly both in quality and yield. The very unfavourable reports of the new crop caused a better feeling in th e trade for line old qualities." Our advice. from Soaked Nay— " The improvement is the weather has had • very marked effect on our corps. Turnips have due more during the last few days than in as many weeks. We had much heavy rain ; it has been unsettled to-day and threatening, still it is warm and growing. On Friday some heavy showers fell at intervals, and bet much harvest work would be dom.
