Lichfield kept up the charter for wet weather to-day, rain falling with but slight intermission throughout the afternoon. but the majority of the visitors were fully prepared for it, and the enclosure was a forest of umbrellas. The attendance was not numerous either within or out side the enclosure, but the leading patrons of the turf who had " Assisted " at Derby, honoured Mr. Sheldon 's gather ing with their presence, and there being plenty of both bookmakers and backers present, the various events de. aided between two and five o'clock produced some liv ely ne:titer, more than one favourite being bowled over. first race—the Hastings Plate—Lady Hester had a sorrow squeak, and bad not the Squire stumbled, it is doubtful whether she would have won.

Following in the wake of Canterbury helped to sontri• bats to the morons of this meeting, which is celebrated within a few minutes' walk of ski town and railway station. The course is surrounded by some wonderfully charactsrlelto KenNalt scenery, but unfortunately it did not appear to great advantage, the weather being heavy and dull. The rain, which threatened all the afternoon, however, did not descend, so that the large company pre sent were enabled to enjoy the racing with greater comfort than they would if the sun had shone with great brilliancy. The sport was of an average character, and all the business arrangements of the meeting were complete in every detail.

They ran in this order until reaching the stand, where Her Ladyship dropped to the rear, hut the positions of the others were unaltered until approaching the half-mile post, where Dayrell was beaten, leaving Hilly with the lead, but she was immediately joined by Nabocklish, who momentarily showed in ad vance. Maly, however, again assumed the command, Nabocklish lying at her quarters, closely followed by Pakrita, Pevensey, and Her Ladyship, till rounding the last turn, where both Hilly and Nabocklish ran out, letting up Pevensey, Pakrita, and Her Ladyship, the favourite having a slight lead to the half distance ; dying away, however, Her Ladyship headed him, and won very cleverly by half a length.

Sultana made play, followed by Merry Andrew, Apron Strings, Election, and Peninsula, till rounding the first bend, where the favourite took up the running, Sul tans running very wide. In the straight the issue became • match between Merry Andrew and Apron Strings, the former winning cleverly by • neck. Sultana was • bad third. Peninsula • worse fourth, and Election fifth. After they had gone about two hundred yards, Beautiful Star struck into the heels of something and fell, knocking down the Hind of the Forest filly. Borden was very severely shaken, being insensible for some time, but Deacon was more fortunate, escaping with but slight injury. EXTRAORDINARY STRIKE OP UNIONIST STONE MASON:. —A strike which at one time threatened to prove a serious impediment to the progress of the extensive works at the new railway station at Leeds, now in course of erection by Messrs. George Thompson and Co., the con tractor' for the North Esetern Railway Company, took place a few days ago amongst the operative masons em ployed there. Several of the foremen who are non-unionists were objectionable to the men on account of not being con nected with their society, and the latter waited upon one of the members of the firm and demanded that they should either be compelled to join the union or be dismissed from the job, intimating at the sure time that the whole of the masons would leave the works if this demand was not com plied with. He was amprised at the suddenness of the de mand, and desired the men to wait until the following morn ing in order that he might take it into oonsideration, but to this the men would not consent, and required their imme diate discharge. This he declined to comply with, and within ten or fi fteen minutes afterwards the whole of the memos of whom there were upwards of a hundred, stopped work, notwithstanding that they were read% ing We. a week wages, whereas the ordinary wages of the town are only 30s. Subsequently the men offered to re same work if their demands were acceded to, but the Messrs. Thompson steadily refused to do this, and the men who struck lain remain out. The position of the con tractors has been considerably fortified by the conduct of the directors of the company, who on being informed of the step taken by the men, at once adopted the resolution by which they granted an additional twelve months for the completion of the contract, and expreesed their willing ness to extend the time if it should be neoterary. A large number of the men on strike have been replaced by non unionists, and the contractors are sanguine that they will ere long be able to secure their full complement of hands. LINDLEY 9 MURDER DEFENDED.—The following threatening letter hsa been received by the *barman of the Sheffield Fdernakers' Association :—" Near Bakewell, August 21. 1867.—Sir,—A man must be very ignorant of the trade of Sheffield who does not regard the policy of T. T. and Co. as vulgar, dishonest, if not walicious. It is • policy adopted by the moat vulgar and dishor es: men, such as the late Lindley; and has never beenadopted but with the same result. It has always robbed and degraded workmen. Thirty years ago I was sent as one of • der tat on to • man who was taking six or seven apprentices (under advice and promise) in my trade ; we pointed out to him how it would injure his fellow-workmen; but the result has far exceeded our prophecy, and from that time I have ever regarded those who adopted that policy as thieve,— vulgar thieves. No men, however steady and respectable, can stand against it. It is es bad as playing with weighted dice. If government won't protect men, men have aright to protect themselves, and if the Ts, Ms, fcc. bring upon themselves injury they will have nobod y to blame but themselves. No man has a right to inflict an injury upon 800 men. The mar ufacturers seem to me to want the men to adopt Cain's principle, ' Am I my brother's keeper ?' I think if the examination had be.n impartial it would have led to the conclusion that where the protectionists have killed one, the screws have murdered ten. There are several ways of murdering people ; let us mind we are not placed at the bar of God as thieves aud murderers. Lindley was not murdered, the assertion oft repeated that he was is gross hypocrisy ; ' murder is the delibe‘mt e taking away the life of a man, woman, or child who does not deserve to lose it.' L'ndley deserved to lose his—the children starved to death during the last ten years did not deserve to lose theirs. I very deeply regret the Tartans have adopted such • regular, dishonest poliey.—PAUL THE AGED." THE SHEFFIELD LNUNDATION.—At the Sheffield county court judgment has been given by Mr. Ellison in several eases, the material points in which were identical, relating to the Sheffield inundation of 1864. Immediately after the bursting of the reservoir, numbers of people being suddenly reduced by the destruction of their furni ture, working tools, tcc., to complete destitution, a relief committee was formed, and the suffe-era assigned their claims against the water company to the then mayor, Mr. Jcasop, in consideration of the sums paid to them by the committee for the damage they had unstained. At the same time an active trade was being done by speculators in discounting claims against the water company. In many cases persons who had assigned their claims to the mayor sold their claims to other persons, and were thus paid ti ice over. The speculative buyers naturally failed to recover upon already invalidated claims, and numerous actions have arisen in consequence . A batch of such cases was disposed of on Wednesday by • judgment in which the judge said that the seller of the claim was bound to make known the circumstance to the buyer of having previously sold it to the relief committee, and hie honour being satis fied that this had not been done iu the cases at issue, gave udgment for the Elaintiffe. A short time ago the sea, in washing away portions of an embankment in Orkney, exposed to view a quantity of human bones. Among the remains a skull was picked up which excited much curious interest, as a linnet's met was found inside.

THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 30, 1867. FORGERIES OZ THE RANK OF ENGLAND. After the el , )se of our rep,rt yesterday of the case at the Mansion-house against Wm. Henry Hodgson, on the charge of forging a transfer of Consols, the follow ing evidence was given : Mr. William Whysall said—l reside at 190, Fleet-street, and am assistant to Mr. Pedler, a chemist, carrying on his business at No. 190, Fleet-street. I know the prisoner from his having been fellow.assistant with me in the same establishment, but he left about twelve months ago. The prisoner has called upon me since that time. On the Rird and 26th of July he oame to me and asked me to lend him some money, and I lent him 71. On the 10th of August I purchased 227.1. of Consol Stock through the Union Rank, and on the 27th of August, after this purchase had been made, I met the prisoner in Oxford-street. We bad some conversation together, and be told me that he had had some money left him, and that be had purchased some Consols, and he also said that he was a money-lender. I told him that I was short of money, and he gave me 54 of the money he had borrowed of me. At this interview I told him that I had purchased the 2251. Como' Stock, and gave him all the par ticulars. The prisoner called on me at my em ployer's shop on the same afternoon, and told me that I should have my dividend in October, and I replied that I thought it would be in January that the dividend would be paid. I never authorised him to trans fer the 225/. stock. The signature to the transfer in the books of the Bank of England is in the handwriting of the I prisoner, and also the signature to the stook receipt. The name on the beck of the cheque for 2121. 15s. 6d. that was paid for the stock is not in my handwriting, but I believe it to be the prisoner's. Mr. Wontner, in answer to a question put by Sir R. Carden, said that he had nothing to ask the witness. Mr. Roger Mortimer said—l carry on the business of a stockbroker in Old Broad-street. The prisoner called at my office last Tuesday, and said he wanted to sell 7251. stock. He at first said it was New Three per Cents., but afterwards that it was Consols, Stock. I toed him I could not do business of that kind for a stranger, and that I must have an introduction. He then mentioned the names of several gentlemen, and I accompanied him to WWI. Dodd and Williams, jewellers in Comhill. They both shook bands with him when he went into the shop ; but I said that I must be particular, as I should be called upon to identify Mr. Whysall. I cannot say whether they heard what I said, or beard me mention the mune, but I certainly understoo d them to identify the prisoner as Mr. Whysall, at all events that was the impression conveyed to my mind, sod I told the prisoner I would sell the stock for him. We returned to my office, and a transfer was prepared, and I identified the prisoner as Mr. Whysall at the Bank of Eng land, and the stock was transferred by the prisoner, and I handed him a cheque for 2121. 15s. 6d., which was the produce of the sale. That cheque has since been paid by my hankers, the Imperial Bank, and it bears the name of William Whysall endorsed upon it. The prisoner called again at my office on Wednesday, but I did not see him. He came about anothertransection. Mr. Fresh&ld said it was only fair to Meun. Dodd and Williams to state that the witness believed that they did not hear the name of Whysall, but merely thought they were identifying the prisoner by his real name of Hodgson. A clerk at the Bank of England proved the formal transfer of the stock, and he identified the prisoner as the person by whom the transfer wan signed in the books of the Bank. Fresbfield said this was all the evidence he proposed to adduce on the present occasion, but he should h►ve to prefer another charge against the prisoner of having coin. witted a similar forgery in respect to the transfer of a sum of 150/. in the New Three per Cents. Mr. Wontner aid that the prisoner desired to have all the evidence that was now ready brought forward at once. Mr. Freshfield said he had no objection to this being done, and be called Mr. W. J. Bentley, who stated that since the month of September, 1861, he had bad a sum of 1 5 01. in the New Three per Cents. standing in his name in the Bank of England. He had known the prisoner for some time, and on the 12th of August he called upon him and asked him to recommend him a stockbroker, as he had some money to invest, and he at the same time asked him for some in formation upon the subject, and witness gave him some explanation, and showed him the stook receipt for what be had purchased. The witness went on to state that he never gave the prisoner any authority to transfer his stock, and that the sign►ture to the stock receipt and the signature to the transfer at the Bank of England were forgeries. One or two other witnesses were examined for the par. pose of giving some formal proofs, and the prisoner was remanded for a week. THE PRIVILEGE OF THE POST-OFFICE. Edward Smith, the messenger, lately charged with delivering letters, contrary to the privilege of the Postmaster-General, appeared before Sir Thomas Henry, at the Bow-street Police-court yesterday to answer the ad journed summons. Mr. Peacock, on behalf of the Post-office authorities, conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Templeman appeared for the defendant, ha ring been retained by Mr. Eyre, the manager of the company. Mr. Manual Eyre, the virtual defendant, came forward, and stated that he was now the sole proprietor of the buainess carried on under the style or firm of the London and Metropolitan Circular and Pamphlet Delivery Companies." He was described in the circulars as manager. Mr. Brydone, described as secretary, was, until last week, his partner in the concern, but had now left. The dissolution of partnership was not actually completed, but was being negotiated. He read the circular, which offered the public great advantages in the cheap and punctual delivery of circulars, at the same time declaring that " no letters would be taken on any pretence whatever." The same system he observed had been carried on in Glasgow, where the company was employed by the Board of Inland Revenue to deliver their tax papers, which he was rare the board would not do if they believed the proceeding to be illegal. He had taken the opinion of the Lord Advocate upon the question. Sir Thomas Henry said if the opinion were before him, with the owe on which it was given, he might be better able to judge of it. But the mere verbal statement of that opinion could have no weight with him. He did not even know that the law was the same in Scotland u in England. In answer to questions, and after the usual caution that he was not bound to criminate himself, Mr. Eyre grated that the lowest rate charged for delivering circulars was one farthing each, but the rates varied according to circum stances. Farthing and halfpenny stamps were issued. They were atiud to the envelopes in the same manner as the postage labels were affixed to letters. He consi dered that w hile the Queen's head showed the docuicent to which it was affixed to be a letter, his stamp allowed it to be a circular. In some caste the stamps were ob jected to on this very ground, and then they were for warded without any stamp, though the game rates were charged. In fact, the stamp was • trade mark, chiefly in tended to advertise the companies. It bore the inscription " Circular Delivery Companies," and the amount, one farthing or a halfpenny. He had never intended any in h:ngliment of the law. He had sent a copy of the circular to the Post-office in the drat instance, believing honestly that he was not infringing the law. Mr. Peacock said the only object of these proceedings vets to protect the revenue • and they were instituted under the direction of the At torney and Solicitor GeneraL For a definition of the word letter he referred Mr. Tem plemen to Webeter's Dictionary, in which it was stated to be • written or printed message from one person to another. The penalty of W. wu Incurred by the person delivering these letters, and those who employed him were liable to • penalty of W. for every letter, and when the practice was habitual to 1001. for every week during which it was oontinued. He was bound to may that if it was continued it would be considered to be the duty of the Pos.-office to enforce the penalties in every case. Sir Thomas Henry said he was quite satiated that these circulars were letters within the meaning of the act, and came within the privilege of the Postmaster-GeneraL He had given the matter his most careful consideration, and he most declare it to be one of the clearest cases be had ever been called upon to decide. The defendant was liable to • penalty of sf. for delivering the lettere, and Mr. Eyre, who employed him, would be liable if proceedings had been taken against him. Defendant mutt pay the fine of 51. _ Mr. Templeman—For delivering • letter! Sir Thomas Henry—Yea. Mr. Templeman—Then, pray sir, how do you define a circular Sir Thomas Henry said that was not a part of the ques tion he was called upon to decide. Mr. Templeman said the practice of delivering circulars was carried on by several other companies, such as the Corps of Commissionaires, and the Post-office had never interfered i.tth them. Sir Thomas Henri said he considered they were all liable to the same penalties if they did the same thing. There was an appeal, or a case might be stated under the Criminal Justice Act ; it would, however, be important for Mr. Eyre to consider that if either of these courses were taken nothing could be done until November. It would, then be a most serious thing for him if, the decision being confirmed, he found himself liable to penal ties of 1001. a week for every week during which he carried on the business in the interim. laii:iiresaidl;(7aConianot carry on the business in opposition to the magistrate's decision, but would take care to forward no enders but what were sent to him open. Sir Thorns, Henry—Now, take care. This is a most stringent act, passed on purpose to protect the privilege of the Paet-offix, and it cannot be evaded in that way. You have been keeping a sort of little post-ollice, and I have no belitation in @eying that you have not the right to do it, and that no one has the right to do it. This terminated the proceedings. LAUNCH OP THI CAMBRIA. —Yesterday there was launched from the shipbuilding-yard of Meads. Bowdler and Chaffer, at Seacombe, near Liverpool, a splendid iron ship of 700 tons register, for the West Coast trade. She is named the Cambria, and is condemned on the most proved im principles both as regards retrying ospasity and speed. MIDDLESEX SESSION& SECOND COURT. (Before Mr. Payne.) Barth*lonely Head, 20, a boonnaker, was charged with stealing sixteen pairs of boots, the property of Henry Lewis, his master. The prosecutor Is a bootmaker, living at 33, Radnor street, St. Luke's, and in the early part of this month the prisoner came to him and begged for work, as he was hard up." Prosecutor consented to employ him, and almost the first job he gave him was to take the sixteen pairs of boots, which formed the subject of the indict ment, to St. John's-street-road. Prisoner took the boots away, and absconded with them. Prosecutor said he was not a rich man ' and could ill afford to be robbed. He met the prisoner some days after and asked him what had become of the boots, when he said be had pawned them. He was fold Guilty. Sentence—eighteen months' im prisonment. Richard Egg!, 20, was convicted of shoplifting from the doorway of Mr. Steggall's shop, No. Xi, Fulham road. _ The prisoner stole three pieces of calico, worth 30a, from Mr. fiteggall's shop, and ran away with them, but was `ollowed, apprehended, and given into custody. Some previous oonvictiora having been proved against him, the court sentenced him to be kept in penal servitude for seven years. EXECUTION OP THE WOOL VECTOR MURDERER. - - George Britten, who murdered his wife and burned 1-er body, was banged yesterday morning in front of the gaol at Taunton. Since the trial the convict behaved as became one in his awful position. Strenuous efforts were made to obtain a commutation of the sentence, on the grounds that the act was committed under great provocation, and in a fit of jealousy. On Sunday the con demned sermon was preached by the Rev. F. Howse, the chaplain, who took for his text the 143rd Psalm, 2nd verse, " And enter not into judgment with thy servant. for in thy sight shall no man living be justified" OnTuesday morning all hop the reprieve vanished, a com munication ha been received by Mr. Meyler, solicitor, Taunton, the Home Secretary,. to the effect that he saw no sufficient grounds to justify him in advis ing her Majesty to interfere with the due °ourse of the law in this ease. The convict received the announcement ap parently without emotion, and evidently had made up his mind for the worst. It being popularly believed that the execution would take place on Tuesday hundreds arrived in Taunton by rail on Monday evening, and took up a posi tion in front of the gaol, where they remained until long after the hour when persons are hung at Taunton. Cal craft arrived on Tuesday evening and a crowd of persons were again disappointed on Wednesday morning. Yes terday morning at an early hour crowds began to assemble, and the Shire-hall grounds in front of the gaol were speedily filled with upwards of three thou sand persona. Britten was visited by the chaplain on Wednesday, and listened with much earnestness to the exhortations of the rev. gentleman. At an early hour on Thursday morning the chaplain was again with him, and he appeared to be deeply penitent, and hoped God would forgive him his great crime. At 9 o'clock a procession was formed, and in a moment there was a subdued hush in the crowd. The prisoner now mounted the scaffold with • firm step and stood under the beam, accompanied by the chaplain, the hangman, and several of the prison officials'. Whilst the chaplain was concluding the burial service, Cslcraft adjusted the rope, and having shaken bands with the doomed man, who also took a last farewell of the chap lain, he was left alone upon the scaffold. He swayed to and fro, and appeared as if he would fall. In a moment the bolt was withdrawn. He fell a considerable dis tance, and died after a fearful struggle. As Chief Justice Bovill was proceeding to Wigan on Saturday, after his day's work at the anises, a rather amusing circumstance occurred at the Lime-street station. His lordship bad got into a carriage, with his eldest son, and Mr. Dickenson, the high sheriff, the three being the only occupants, and the compartment being lockedto secure them from intrusion. Just as the train was starting a gentleman, well known on the Exchange flags, came to the door of the compartment, and, finding it locked, requested admission, in evident ignorance of the parties seated therein. Being informed that the compartment was enmed, but seeing only three seats occupied, be got very inftriant, and assured the occupants that be would soon have the door opened. " Not," added he, " that I set any value on your company, but to check ignorance, insolence, and presumption. 'THE GREAT EASTERN.—Sir Robert Phillimore has given judgment in the case of the Great Eastern, which was reported in our issue of yesterday. The question was whether the Steam Ship Company should be allowed to appeal from the decision of Dr. Lushington as to the jurisdiction of the Court of Admiralty to entertain olainia for " damages " for the dismissal of the crew when the ship wee arrested at Liverpool, or whether there should be an appeal on the question to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council before the claims were referred to the registrar and merchants. The judge has granted an ap peal to the Judicial Committee, and there will be no sittings until the latter part of November, and probably the appeal will not be heard till nest year. THE TRAGEDY IN LlMEHOUSE.—Yestertisy John W' • , aged 35 years, • lighterman, charged with the wilful murder of Agnes Oakes, and with cutting his own throat, on the morning of Wednesday, the 24th of July last, was again brought before Mr. Paget, at the Thames Police-court, on remand. Mr. Poland, for the prosecution, said the court would no doubt recollect that the solicitor to the Treasury appeared for the first time last week, and requested another remand for the purpose of making fuller inquiry into all the circumstances of this remarkable case. Those inquiries had not been completed, and, in asking the magistrate for another remand, the prisoner would not be at all injured, for the next sessions would not be held in the Old Bailey until Monday, the 23rd of September. After • long discussion, and on Mr. Charles Young declaring his inability to attend any day next week, it was finally arranged that the prisoner should be remanded till next Thursday, and then again remanded till Tuesday, the 10th of September, when the case would be finally disposed of. THE KITILAGEDINAILY ATTEMPT TO MURDER IN DIEBVINIRE.—At • special petty sessions at Belper yes terday George Needham alias Spendlove, aged 16, was brouglA up charged with shooting at, with intent to mur der Mary Titterton, aged 61, housekeeper to the Rev. L. L. fod, 'Unitarian minister, Belper, on Sunday morning, the 1 1th August. Although the police had been most active in trying to trace the prisoner, who absconded after the act, they had been unable so discover his whereabouts, but yesterday morning his parents surrendered him. It will be recollected that prisoner went to Mr. Lloyd's house to deliver milk, and that he there deliberately pointed and fired • pistol at Mrs. Titterton, the housekeeper, end then decamped. It is supposed that he has been wandering all over the country since he committed the rash act, and a few days ago rambled back to his parents in • half starved state. Evidence was given showing that the pistol wits loaded with No. 9 shot, and that on the same morning while delivering his milk at anotherhouse he had shot at a boy. He was committed for trial, for unlawfully and ma liciously wounding. THEOLOGY UNDER THE Gaisoms. —The theo logians, as well as the saints of our era, are surely the condemned murderers, and if the reporters will but be active, the parishes may save the expense of clergymen. The Philadelphia Ledger treats us to a dialogue between Winnemore, who is to be banged for murdering Mrs. Dorcee htegilton, and "one of a few visitors." The doctrinal investigation was conducted in the Socratic form, with question and answer, and is so reported in full. Take this, for example:—Q . . Do you believe that our spirits in the future world will be purged from their guilt by punishment, and that our punishment will not be eternal? A. I believe it will not be eternal It will be in ourwer to purify ourselves. As long as a human being in th e future state has • disposition to sin, so long will be be punished. Q. You mean, then, that if be will renounce his sin, end free himself from it, be will be free from further punishment? A. That is my idea. This is • specimen of • long colloquy, which makes one lament that persons capable of giving out so much theological light should be cut off from giving it by the intervention of the gallows.—New York Times. THE AMENITIES Or LIFE IN THE STATES.—The Springfield (Mass.) Republinan tells this story :—" There was a noteworthy, illustrative incident on a nil-car out of Springfield the other day. A big, black, but clean and well-dressed ' coloured brother' entered, and sat down by one of the—at least formerly—' ruling race.' The white man looked venom at the black one, and hissing out, ' Do you suppose I am going to sit by a black nigger like you ? Let me out!' squeezed by into the aisle, and took a vacant seat in front, by the side of • small Yale student lad from Springfield. The latter looked at the new corner, and saying, Do you suppose I can sit by you, sir? Let ' me pass out ; got up and went hack to the seat just vacated near the black man. The party of the first part grew pale with added feeling, and rid, 'Do you prefer to sit by • nigger?' ' I prefer to sit by • gentleman." Do' you dare say I am not a gentleman ?" A gentleman never swears, nor insults a man beans of his colour.' You I shall be taken care of, you impudent jackanapes.' When the black brother, stalwart and suggestive, spoke in, ' I will take care of him, sir,' there ensued ' a splendid pas sine of silence,' and the car went on, and there was no assault and battery for the Worcester police court." THE MIMING SHIP SLIEVE DONARD. —Much un easiness has been felt in Liverpool in connexion with the East India !trader, Sieve Dowd. The Slieve Donard sailed from Calcutta for Liverpool on the 25th of March last, since which time no tidings of her have reached Li verpool. Yesterday 30 guineas premium were paid upon the ship and cargo, which sionista of 6,327 bales of cotton. The Slieve Donard is one of the finest ships sailing out of Liraupool.

CRYSTAL PALACR AND SOUTH LONDON • ✓UNCTION. The tenth half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of this company was held yesterday after rooa at the offices ' Winchester-street-buildings, London wall ; Mr. J. E. lAvEsorr-Gowia., chairman of the com pany, in the chair. Tl , e report, which had been already published, was taken ss read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, called the atten tion of the shareholders to the circumstance that sine the lut meeting there had been an entire change in the board of ;direction. Everyone of the old directors had left—ihear, hear)—and the board which now managed their affairs was altogether a new one. The old dim-tore had retired because their increasing engagements pre vented their giving to the company the time which was needed. From letters which he had received he had gatheied that one of the subjects which had attracted most attention was the settlement of the oontraetore' accounts. Their solicitor had advised them that there were no grounds upon which the company could enforce the payment of the interest upon the B shares ; but he did not think that individuals were precluded from claiming against the estate of Mears. Peto, Betts, and Co., and he rcco amended that the B shareholders should appoint a committee to attend to the matter. Having since he joiir-d the board inspected the line, he was convinced that the works had been well executed, and he believed there was no railway that was in better condition. Their relations with the London, Chatham, and Dover Company were in the same position as they were six months ago ; but considering the high character of the gentlemen who now formed the board of the latter company, he hoped that they would be able to come to some aatiefactory am angement. One of his correspondents had inquired whether he thought that the company would ever be able to pay anything upon the B shares. This was of course a matter of opinion, but for his own part he did not despair of receiving his divi dend upon his B shares, and he trusted that the A share holders would some day get a dividend. Thole anticipa tions he founded upon the tenacity with which the London, Chatham, and Dover Company clung to the line, upon the moderate cost of the railway, acid upon the position of their terminus at the Cryste` Pa lace . Their position there was perfectly unassailable. They occupied the whole front of the Palace, and no other high level station could ever be construetid. The directors were unable to say what the London, Chatham ' and Dover Company made by the working of this line. They had twice applied to the receivers appointed by the Court of Chan eery for the s mount, bat they bad not received it. In conclusion he said he believed that with the support of the shareholders the directors would be able to pima the company in a much better position than that which it oecr ned at present ; and be had no doubt that this would be ore of the first comer= to derive benefit from that re rival of railway enterprise which he trusted would soon occur. Mr. E. HINIBT seconded the motion. After some diacussion, in tl-e course of which Mr. MA1741111) mentioned that sorra of the bondholders contemplated filing a bill in Chancery for the appointment of a receiver, and Mr. Horitam said that he believed that the loss upon working the line during the last half•year was under 2,0001., The report and accounts were adopted, and the proceed ings terminated with a oordial vote of thanks to the chair man and directors BRISTOL AND SISTER. On Wednesday the sixty-second half-yearly meet ing of the proprietors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company was held at Bristol ; the Right Hon. Earl DEVON, chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. The report having been taken as read, The noble CH.trau•ri, in moving the adoption of the report, said during the last half-year they had paused through& period of very considerable anxiety—an anxiety felt more or leas deeply by all persona connected with rail way property. As regards the receipts from traffic, there was an increase of 512/. under the head of passenger', and an increase of 1,3011. under the head of goods and cattle, and 160/. under that of parcels, horses ' kc., and under the bead of interchange of carriage stock there was • considerable difference in their favour, consequent upon the large additions they had made to the carriage stook belonging to the company. Passing from pecuniary remits to tonnage, it was gratifying to know that there was an increase in the tonnage of goods of no lees than 20,0001. The total increase under the head of traffic was 4,7591. ; and he must take this opportunity, before he pissed on to other points, and before he quitted the subject of traffic, to state that as regards the traffic for the current half year, so far as these returns enabled them to form a judg ment, for the last eight weeks, up to the 25th of August, the traffic returns showed an increase of upwards of 4,0001., or an average of 561/. a week. (Hear, hear.) With regard to that which was to be set against the tra ffi c receipts—the working expenses—he should state that the increase on the working expenses amounted to 850/.—an increase which he trusted the shareholders would not think unreasonable, looking to the fact that they were now running over eleven more miles—the Chard line. Looking to the total receipts from all sources of the revenue account there was an increase shown of 5,745/. The result was that thedirectors bad been enabled to declare a dividend for the half-year at the rats of four per cent. per annum. Mr. M. Casne (deputy-chairman) seconded the motion. The report and accounts were adopted unanimously, after which 4 per cent. dividend was declared. Mr. NASH thought that the directorate ought to be' lessened, and that it would be good to bave some new blood on the board. The rote for raising 219,0001. new capital was agreed to. SEVARN VALLRY. The half-yearly meeting of shareholders was held yesterday at the offices, No. 4, Victoria-street, Westmin ster; Mr. J. reasorti in the chair. The report stated that during the past half-year a further portion of the ass:..• of tl•e company had been realized, and appropriated in reduction of the liabilities. Since the 30th June, the forfeited shares which were authorised at the last general meeting to be resold had also been disposed of, and the direc:ors hoped that the proceeds together with the cam. pany's other assets would be sufficient to meet the few outstanding liabilities, and that they would be enabled by the end of the present year to close the capital account. From and after the 31st January next, the office business of the company would be undertaken and carried on by the Great Weitorn Railway Company, in exercise of the tion eszelthem for that purpose by the West Midlan d and Valley Railway Companies Act, 1862. The war rants for the dividend for the half-year ended 10th June last, on the preference shares at 44 per cent, per annum, and on the ordinary shares at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, would be issued immediately upon the reoespt from the Great Western Railway Company of the requisite moneys. The directors very much regretted the delay in the issue of the warrants for the last dividend, which was occasioned by the postponement of thepayment of the rent due to this comps for the half-year to 31st December last, but they ho that in future the proprietors would receive their dividends with punctuality. Tte CHAIRMAN, without making any comments upon the report , moved its adoption. The motion having been agreed to, and the dividend declared, the proceedings terminated. FURNESS RAILWAY.— The half-yearly general meeting was held yesterday, at No. 14, Great George street, Westminster ; Mr. Ramsden, the managing director, in the chair. The report stated that the receipts, with the addition of the balance carried over last half-year, amounted to 138,1871., 10e. 9d., and the working expenses, debenture and preference share interest, to 103,192/. ILL BgL; leaving a balance of 34,9911. 19s. out of which the directors proposed a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum. A large amount of capital expenditure, exceeding 300,0001., on which a guaranteed divi dend of 5 per cent. was paid out of the revenue of the half-year, was still unproductive, owing to the unfinished state of the works. The Furness and Midland line was opened in June, and the directors had reason to expect a good return for the expenditure, besides the increased traffic that must accrue to the main line and to the Barrow Docks by more direct communication with Yorkshire and the Eastern districts. The report, on the motion of the chairman wu adopted, and the dividend recommended declared. A resolution, authorising the directors to raise by mortgage or bond the sum of 100,000/., under the powers of ,the Furness Railway Act, 1866, was agreed to, and the proceedings terminated. STRATFORD-ON-AVON RAILWAY.—The half-yearly meeting of the shareholder of this company was held on Wednesday ; Mr. Richard Greaves, the chairman, presiding.

Al. though many staple= report that they could move readily wore stooks at old rates ; there are others who state quit e the reverse. The demand for wool is far from general, and otzinners cannot be induced to purchase beyond their waste. Choice wools especially of the tine-habbi class, alone are wasted ; inferior aorta continue quite is much neglected as hitherto. Prices may be reported , steady, without any actual change.

The coin. nested demand still continues on a most limited seals Very low offers are made, but they cannot be The home trade is also much quieter. Prices are= any chasms.

Whenever they place orden they are for speed d elivery , Although there is a slight improvement for this quarter, it is only as yet very partial, and confined to semis sorts of goods. A few masufac toren are still busy for the home trade. A little more busi ness has been done for German , but the aggregate sans* very wall. Those with the trade are is hope that the fine weather and the better harvest will ban the result of removing the long torpor which lass existed. Peas are fully as low as they have been. CORN.—BIAIMIOHLY, AMOUR? 29.—At this day's market there was a fair supply of wheat, chiefly of the new crop, which was cleared off early at a reduction of 21. to 3s. par quarter. Barley scarce and higher. Oats held for previous rates. Beans and pea. le. per quarter lower. BRISTOL, At:looff 29.—The weather through the present week bee been on the whole favourable for harvest work, which has been making rapid progress in this district.
