A great improvement on the weather induced a larger company to patronise the meeting than on the opening day, while the ring and grand stand were crowded. The sport was very good, the fields being of more than average ntsength, and the meeting concluded so succeesfully that there is every probability of its increased importance next year.

The weather to-day wee more favourable than that of yesterday, honsequently there was a considerable accession to the company. Prior to the commencement of the races, and indeed. until several of them had been decided, there we. some sensation in the ring consequent on its trans piring that Mr. Smith, the owner of The Squire, who ran second to Lady Hester for the flutings Plate the previous day, intended to lodge en objection against the winner on the ground that the competitors had only gone half a mile instead of six furlongs. It was given out that there was a likelihood of the backers of Lady Hester losing their money, but their team were allayed by the official notification that no objection had been made in accordance with the laws of racing which stipulate that it should be lodged within a quarter of an hour after the race. Mr. Smith being made aware of the law by Admiral Rous, he allowed the matter to drop. It was clearly ascertained, however, that the horses had only gone half a mile instead of the advertised distance. To-days' rasing was more favourable to the beakers, for although sae or two favourites were bowled over, the winners were always backed for a lot of money.

ELRVtIe AP LORD LYTTELTON'S FAMILY V. BROM S -oneve GKA 1111 A IhtiCH 001. —A match, noticeable from the compoaition of the winning eleven, was played this week at Stagley-park, the seat of Lord Lyttelton, Lord- Lieutenant of Worcestershire. The match was between eleven of the Bromsgrove Grammar-school and eleven of the Lyttelton family, compoeed of his lordship, his brothers, the Hon. and Rev. W. H. Lyttelton and the Hon. lipeneer Lyttelton; and his lordship's eight sons— the Hon. C. G. Lyttleton, the Hon. A. V. Lyttelton, the Hon. N. G. Lyttelton, the Hon. S. G. Lyttel ton, the Hon. A. T. Lyttelton, the lion. R. H. Lyttelton, the Hon. K Lyttelton, and the Hon. A. Lyttelton. The Bromagrove eleven went to the wicket first, and put toGether a good score of 150, in the course of which Lord Lyttelton made a verydithealt catch, holding the ball, though he fell and rolled over on the ground in the attempt. His lord ship and the Hon. Charles Lyttelton commenced .he bat ting for the " bononrables, but were soon parted, a straight ball taking Lord Lyttelton's wicket before any figures stood against his name in the scorees book. The Hon. Charles Lyttelton was then joinal by his brothers in succession, when some very good cricket was played, the last wicket falling with a total score of 191. The Broms grove eleven then went in, but were less fortunate then in their first innings, scoring only 51, thus leaving the Lyttel tons only 11 to make to win. These were made without the loss of a wicket, by the Hon. N. 0, Lyttelton and his brother Edward, and at the conclusion of the game the total score stood thus :—Bromsgruve Grammar-school, first !linings, 150 ; rmond innings, 51—total, 201 ; Lord Lyttel ton's eleven, first innings ,191 ; second innings, 12—total, 30(1, with 10 wickets to fall. ertbal aft infliticr2. CHATHAM, AUGUST 30. POnTPONIMENT OP THE SIEGE OPERATIONS.— The siege operation, which were intended to have been carried out by the Mita Engineers on Monday next have been postponed, in consequence of the whole of the arrange ments not baying been completed. A portion of the metropolitan volunteer corps will, it is understood, take part in the contemplated operations and review. An ceder has been received at the head-quarters of this division of Royal Marine Light Infantry, directing the standard for recruits for the Royal Marines to be raised from 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 61 inches, in ooasequence of the whole of the divisions having been recruited to their full strength. PORTSMOUTH, Avocet 30. The Fancy, screw gunboat, attac;ied to the steam reserve at Portsmouth, went out of harbour to-day, ender the command of Captain W. Chamberlain, to try her speed at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, after having bun fitted with a simple contrivance, which is designed to in crease her speed, to lessen the vibration, and to protect I the screw. It consists of a simple drum or rim of plate ' iron, shoat two feet wide, which encircles the screw, and is fastened with angle iron at the upper and lower parts of the aperture in which the screw revolves. The drum extends from the leading edge of the screw to the rudder post, leaving a clear space between the screw and the dead wood of the ship for the rush of water into the drum. The idea is not a new one, aa is shown by a reference to Bourne's treatise are the screw propeller ; but this is the first time, we believe, that it has been tested in the British navy, having been adapted by Mr. Whetham, who is employed in the mast house at this dockyard. The Fancy made a trial of her speed last week under the usual conditions, for the purpose of companion with the speed obtained with the drum affixed, and she realised a mean of 7.958 knots as the re sult of six runs. Six runs were also made to-day under very favourable conditions, and the mean =Lobtained was 7.799 knots, and a total e of vibration ; the revolutions were lea with the drum than without it. If the same number of revolu tions could be kept up with this drum attached to the screw there is no doubt that the speed would be the same. There was very little disturbance of the water astern of the %mull to be seen in comparison with what thereusually is in a gunboat when under weigh. The Hesper, 2, iron screw store ship, Staff Commander James C. H. Thain, arrived at Spithead yesterday after noon from China, and sailed this morning for Woolwich. On Thursday the Admiralty yachts Enchantress, Staif•Couuander John E. Petley ; and the Black Bias, Said-Commander Thomas J. Whiffler, took the Lords Commissinners of the Admire t 7 and . . . sults to Portland, where the Channel 1141 lay moored. The yachts left their moorings at Portsmouth at five o'clock on Wednesday, and the Enchantress, followed by the Black Eagle, steamed out of Portsmouth harbour on her voyage west ward. The Admiralty yachts brought up off Cowes to await the arrival of the Right Hon. Lord Henry Gerdes Lennox, M.P., First Secretary. At 7 o'clock the Fire Queen, S ta ff Commander Frederi ck W. Paul, approached the yachts from Southampton Water, and Lord H. Lennox went from thence on board the Enchantress. Both vessels then steered westward, the Black Eagle following. Between eight and nine the Needles were passed, but it was not until half past ten that St. Alban's Head was left astern. The Enchantress by this time was some three or four miles to the westward. The Wivern, turret ship, armour plated, Captain Hugh T. Burgoyne, was seen steam ing at about eight knots an hour for Portland, as the yachts made for the roads. The Lords of the Admiralty, desirous of having a good view of this ship in a sea way, brought to for the purpose of criticising her movements. Amidst a salute of 19 guns from the fleet at Portland, they rounded the point and entered the breakwater at about eleven o'clock. The ships at anchor are the Minotaur, 34, iron ship, armour-plated, Rear Admiral Frederick Warden, C.R. ; Lord Clyde, 23, armour-plated, Captain Roderick Dew, C.B. • Bellerophon, 14, iron ship, Captain Reginald J. J. G. ' Macdonald ; Achilles, 26, armour plated, Captain Edward W. Vansittart ; Pallas, 6, armour-plated corvette, Captain Matthew Connolly ; also Boscaweu, 20, training ship for boys, Captain Macleod B. Cooke:aft ; and Helicon, despatch vessel, Commander Edward Field. In the meantime the Black Eagle over hauled the Wiveru, and left her a considerable distance astern, as the former entered the breakwater at a quarter to twelve, the Wive= following her course, and anohonng with the iron squadron. The first business at Portland was an inspection of the iron-clad squadron, at anchor within the unfinished breakwater. Notwithetanding the exertions made by the local authorities to make Drogheda ii permanent station for the military, as formerly, an order received a few days ago for the removal of the detachment lying there since March was carried into effect. The detachment was sent there immediately aster the Fenian rising. Tar Moose. —The Marquis of Waterford, with a very large party, have had some excellent shooting since the opening of the Irish shooting season. 127 brace of grouse and GO hares fell to the guns, and in no instance was disease found to be prevalent. It is gratifying to hear that, notwithstanding the disappointment en generally experienced by sportsmen in the Highlands this fission, in consequence of the disease among grouse and the cold spring weather at the hatching, in some localities good sport has been obtained. On the moors between Loch Rannoch and Loch Tay some very fair bags have been made. At the Meggarnie Castle shootings in Olen Lyon above 900 braise of grouse were shot by Mr. Smith.. and party during six days' sport, besides wild duck, snipe, ptarmigan, golden plover, bares, rabbits, roe deer, and black game. Two hundred and fifty hares were bagged in one day's drive. On Thursday last Mr. B. Britten, one of the guests, succeeded in killing s fine salmon of over 201 b., in good condition, with a trout rod, and on hie return to the castle he shot a deer with his rifle. BLOVKADS RONNERS FOR Currs.—Not dis heartened by the loss of the blockade-runner Arkadi, the friends of the Ctetans in this country have again set to work, and in the course of a few days two of the most powerful and raid iron paddle -steamers will be in Greek waters. Both these vessels were built towards the closing days of the struggle in the United States, and are looked upon as the finest of their class ever constructed in Liver ol. po A few days ago as s farm servant at Aldborough wee passing through a foldysrd, in which a bull is kept, he was suddenly attacked by the animal, and immes diately, without any previous warning, tossed into the air. Fortunately he fell under a rack in such a position as the furious animal could not reach him with his horns. In this dangerous position he lustily called for help, and by the assistance of a lad and some women who reside in some cottages near, the savage beast was driven from his attack, and the man enabled to from his perilous position. He was mush brained and titth Intelligente. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—ArGuer 30. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE WART ANN !SPRAWL-APPLICATION TOR RELEARN. The bankrupt, who describes herself as of 8, Trevor terrace, Knightsbridge, spinster, of no business or occu pation, petitioned the court in consequence, as abe alleges, of great pressure from creditors, and being over charged by them. She had been arrested at the suit of Mr. V. Gallimore ' of 17, Montpelier-street, Brompton, and now applied to be released from custody. The debts are stated at 1,796/. . . Mr. Dobie, who supported the application, said that this was not the cue of a debtor petitioning in form/. pauper's, ea over 3001. worth of furniture had been taken poaer~on of by the messenger. The debts had mostly been contracted by the bankrupt in connection with a boarding-house which she kept, and were principally for balances, considerable sums having been paid to the creditors on ►ccount. Mr. Peverley, for the detaining creditor, did not oppose, and His Honour granted the release. SHERIFFS' COURT.—Auckusr 30. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) MUM" V. THE reusravi OF THE LITER FRIENDLY SOCIETY. JUDGMENT UNDER THE FRIENDLY SOCIETIES ACT. This was an action to recover a sum of money under cir cumstances of some importance to all members of benefit societies, and which are fully explained by the following judgment delivered by Mr. Commissioner Kerr for the rommon Serjesnt, who originally tried the case. In this case the plaintiff sought to recover the sum of 51. 7s. 9d. from the defendants. A Mr. Black was insured with the said society in a sum exceeding 501. The plaintiff, in accordance with a common practios in the society, ap plied for and obtained at the office of the society a form of nomination, which was duly filled up by the assured, witnessed by officers of the society, and lodged with the secretary. By this document the plaintiff was appointed nominee of the assured, and thereupon he paid the money sought to be recovered by way of premiums upon the seamen. The bye-laws of the society contain no provision as to nomi nees, but the Friendly Societies Act, 18 and 19 Viet., chap. 68, no. 31, enacts :—" That when on the death of any member • ram of money not exceeding 501. shall become payable, the same shall be paid by the trustees of the society to the person directed by the rules thereof, or nominated by the deceased in writing, deposited with the I secretary (such being the husband, wife, father, mother, child, brother, sister, nephew, or niece of such member)". The plaintiff is not one of the relatives specified under this I clause, and could not, therefore, be a nominee within the I provisions. Moreover, the amount of assurance exceeding 501., then is no power to appoint • nominee at all. Under these circumstances I am of opinion that the contract is utterly void, that neither the society (whose powers are prescribed and limited strictly by the act of parliament, and by their own bye-laws), nor the assured, nor the plain tiff, could enter into any such agreement, and that the plaintiff is entitled to recover from the society all moneys paid by him upon this pretended nomination. Mr. Buchman, who appeared for the plaintiff, applied for costa, which his Honour allowed. Mr. Carpenter said that as a point of law had aripen, it was understood that • case should be granted for the superior court. His Honour mid be had no power at present, bat on the Ist of January, when the new act came into operation, the court would have the power to grant an appeal. If the parties chose to agree, the case could stand over till the lit of January, upon the money being paid in, and the defendants giving security. The case then stood over formally. sue T. fIOGEI2,-1111 TALLY SYSTEM.

THE POLICE COURT& MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Mercer, •youviireini; theii;i3loy of Means. Cook, watchmakers, of No. 29, Wardour-street, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing 31., the moneys of his employers. Mr. Owen Cook said that on Tuesday night he gave the prisoner, his porter, 3/. to get him his plate license, and be left and never returned. Having communicated with the police, the prisoner was taken into custody. In answer to Mr. Knox, The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had only been in his employ two months. He came to him with a written character from Coventry. The prisoner, in answer to the charm said that he went into a public-house to have a glees of U.m. and fell in with a female • and whether she put anything into his beer or not he alibi not say, but he believed she did, as he fell asleep, and on waking up he missed the money from his pocket. Police-constable Farwell, 105 0, proved apprehending the prisoner in Orasehopper-court, Finsbury, and on telling him the charge he said that he had had a drop or beer with a female, been drugged, and lost the money. He was apprentioed at Coventry. Inspector Bowles said that there was no difficulty in communicating with the police at Coventry as to the prisoner's character. Mr. Knox remanded him for that purpose. TRAWLS. Mr. Ellis, solicitor, and vestry clerk of the pariah of Holy Trinity, Minork• came before Mr. Benson and asked him for a distress warr ant to enforce the payment of 2:751. owing by the London and North Western Railway in respect of the occupation of premises in Hsydon-square, Minories. Mr. Benson supposed the railway bad some reasonable ground of objection to the payment of the rate. Mr. Ellis said the question was whether the company were liable to be rated for that portion of their warehouses and premises is Haydon-scptare burnt down some time ago. Mr. Benson said that was a very substantial ground of argument, and asked if it was at all necessary to ask for a distress warrant against the company. Mr. Ellis said the claim of Tad. was made for • poor este upon an assessment of ltd. in the pound. He had offered so argue the case before the magistrates in petty sessions or in that court, but the company would not ap peal or appear in that court to contest the matter. Mr. Benson was reluctant to make an order until the secretary or solicitor of the company was before him. Mr. Ellis said, if the magistrate would make the order for payment he would give notice to the company, and not enforce payment for a week. He was most anxious the matter should/be fairly discussed, and did not wish to take any unfair advantage of the railway company. Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, said it was now too bite to appeal, and that the only course for the magistrate to adopt was to issue a distress warrant against the rail way cionipanT. No order could be made. Proclamation was then made in due form, " Does any body appear for the London and North Western Railway Company?" The service of the summons by Stubbings, 111 H, an officer of the court, the publication of the poor rate, and the demand on the company. were proved. Mr. Benson said, on the proof given, the warrant to distrain on the company must issue. He would postpone his signature for a few days. He hoped the money would be paid without the netessity of • distraint. RBADING on HORSEBACK. —A lamentable acci dent occurred between 8 and 9 o'clock on the morning of Saturday last, to Mr. Preston, miller, of Gooderstone. He was riding on horseback in the village, and had beento the prat-Milos and other places, and was returning home when it is supposed that the horse stumbled and threw him to the ground, where he was discovered in a state of uncon sciousness. A newspaper was found open, which he had doubtless been reading while riding, and his letters were scattered about the road. He was conveyed hoote with as much care aa possible in a gig. The poor fellow's jaw is much fractured, his head is severely cut, and he has re ceived other injuries. He still lies in a very precarious state. Much sympathy is expressed for Mr. Preston, who is much esteemed in the village and neighbourhood.— Norfolk News. Yesterday intelligence was received in Liver pool that the small boat Thomas T.

David Jackson, the young man who has been some time in custody upon the charge of having feloniously caused certain plates to be engraved for the purpose of fabricating forged 5/. notes of the Union Bank of Scotland, was yesterday binught before Sir R. Carden at the Man sion-house for final examination upon that charge. As upon the forme.. occasions, the case, from the singu lar circumstances connected with it, and the extent to which the prisoner intended to have carried out his pro jected fraud, arrangements having been in progress for procuring paper sufficient for engraving forged notes to the amount of 30,000/., seemed to create • good deal V interest, especially in banking circles. This is almost the only occasion when an attempt has been made to pro cure the engraving of plates for the purpose of committing forgeries upon an English bank, the endeavour by the parties concerned in this branch of crime generally being to procure the means of forging the notes circukting in Russia or Poland. It ix to be hoped, therefore, that the detection that has now taken place will prevent such an attempt being again made. Mr. Rees, barrister, instructed by Mr. Mullen., the soli citor to the Bankers' Association, conducted the prosecu tion ; Mr. Buchman appeared for the prisoner. The evidence taken on the former occasions, which prin cipally consisted of the testimony of • man named Richard Smith, an engraver and die sinker , t wu read over. This witness proved being employed byhe prisoner and • man named Ze ll mann, who has abscon , to engrave the plates in question, and who spoke to the various interviews that took place between them upon the subject He also spoke to his being sent to Birmingham to procure the paper upon which the notes were to be printed, and to oona,der able sums of money having been given to him by the priso ner, and which, it appeared, he divided with the man Zallmann. In cross-examination by Mr. Buchanan, this man stated that he had been an engraver for more than twenty years, but he did not thoroughly understand engraving balk note plates. Although be had stated in the fret instance that he engraved theme plates, it was • mistake, as he had em ployed some one else to do the work under his superin tendence. He said that, of course, the prisoner thought he was doing the work himself. He had known Zellmann for • greet many years, but he had never had any business transactions with him until the present time. He bed never had anything to do with engraving forged Russian notes. Upon one occasion he was charged with copying some dies, which was • very usual thing in the trade, but he was convicted for doing so, and sentenced to nine months' hard labour. He considered that he was only doing what was usual, but after his imprisonment he made up his mind not to do it again. (A laugh.) Mr. James Read deposed that he had been connected with the Union Bank of Scotland for thirty-seven years, and during the lest eleven years he had been one of the cashiers. The head-office of the bank was at Glasgow, and it was empowered to issue its own notes. The 51. note now produced, which was the one given by the prisoner to Smith for the purpose of engraving • copy of it, was • genuine note of the Union Bank. The engraving upon the plate, also produced, appeared to be a copy of the genuine note, but the prisoner had no authority to cause such • note to be engraved, and he was an entire stranger to him. William Green, the detective officer, was then cal -1 mined, and be gave • rather extraordinary account of the surveillance to which he bad subjected the prisoner and the other parties. He said that on the 29th of June he received instructions to watch three persons—the prisoner, Smith, the engraver, and a third man, Zellmann, who went by the name of " Sam." Soon after 8 o'clock in the evening of that day he saw all three come out of Smith's house, in Smith-street, Clerkenwell, and they proceeded to • public-house in the neighbourhood, where they remained about ten minutes, and they all then proceeded to the Eagle Tavern, in the City-road, and he watched them until they returned home and he saw them go into their different habitations, all of which were in the same neighbourhood. On the morning of the 2nd of July he saw the prisoner come out of his lodging and go to a coffee-shop in the City-road, where he was joined by ZeUmann, and he followed them and UV them go to four different bullion offices in the City. (The objet: of these visits was not stated, but it will probably transpire is the course of the inquiry.) The prisoner went alone into the offices, and the other man " Sam" stopped outside. The witness went on to say that he repeatedly saw the prisoner, Smith, and Zellmann together, and he followed them to the Euston station on the 6th of July, when it will be remembered Smith stated in his evidence that he was sent down to Birmingham to procure paper for the purpose of making the forged notes, and he said be saw the prisoner purchase • newspaper and give it to Smith after be had taken his seat in the railwar carriage, end Zeilmenn and the prisoner shook hands with him as the train started. Upon another °coulee he saw the prisoner aod Zellmann go to the telegraph-office in Lothhury, from which it was afterwards ascertained they sent an order for Smith to be paid 101. at Birmingham. The witness then went on to state that on one or two occasions the prisoner and Zell mann rode in an omnibus, and he rode with them in the same vehicle and watched all their proceedings, confirming in several important particulars the evidence given by the witness Smith. During the progress of these proceedings he said he followed the prisoner and Zellmann to the office of the Cierkeuweil New, in Myddleton-street, in which it will be remembered Smith stated that the prisoner told him that he had inserted en advertisement for some litho graphic presses, and be said that he saw the prisoner come out reeding a letter, and with several others in his hand. He read these letters u he walked along, and then tore them up and threw the pieces away, and the witness picked up some of these pieces, and they formed a letter which he produced, and which appeared to be an answer to the advertisement for the presses. The officer west on to narrate various other particulars, showing the intimate connection that existed between the prisoner and Zellmaan, and although he appeared to have been almost constantly upon the track of the prisoner for more than • month, the precautions taken by him seemed to have effectually prevented them from entertaining the least suspicion that they were being watched. Mr. Brookes, the keeper of a coffee-shop in the City road, proved that the prisoner, Zellmann, and Smith had been constantly in the habit of owning to his house during the last three months. He bad only known the prisoner during that period, but he never heard whet his name was. He was always called " Scotch Charley." (A laugh ) A clerk from the telegraph-office was then called noon to produce the telegram that had been sent by the prisoner to the witness Smith at Birmingham. He stated that he had brought it to the court, but his instructions were not to produce it except under the order of the magistrate. Sir R. Carden said that this was a proper regulation of the telegraph company, but it was necessary for the ends of judos that the dominant should be given in evidence, and he therefore directed the clerk to produce it. The clerk accordingly produced the telegrams directing that the witness Smith should receive 101. from the Na tional Provincial Bank at Birmingham. The prisoner, it appeared, paid in 101. to the telegraph clerk at the time this telegram was despatched. Some further evidence of a corroborative character was then adduced, and this closed the case for the prosecution, and the prisoner, who, by the advice of his solicitor, re served his defence, was fully committed for trial. A FINIAN INFORMER IN LIVERPOOL.—Corydon, who earned each unenviable notoriety for the part he played in connexion with the Fenian movement and sub sequent trials of the prisoners, has, despite the threats of vengeance that have been held out to lam by the brother. hood, ventured from his retirement in Ireland and paid a dait to Liverpool, one of the places where his chief ex- ploits took place. It seems that he left Dublin some time ago, visited London, and proceeded to Paris end " did " the Exhibition. in Paris he is said to have made it his business to see Stephens—no doubt at • safe distance— and he describes the ex "head centre" as being well. From Paris he came to Liverpool. One of his first steps was to crll upon hie old friends the police. He was ac companied by Detective-Inspector. Horn and Carlisle, and shown through the police courts. He was introduced to the reporters as a distinguished visitor from Dublin, and one of the gentlemen present, who is a native of ' Ireland, shook hands with the stranger from "the old country." The gentleman little then thought that he was fraternising with the ootorious govern- ment apy ; and some time after Corydon had left the court those who had been speaking to him were considerably surprised when they were informed of the stranger's true character. Corydon did not seem by any means to avoid publicity. In fact, he rather regarded himself as a sort of lion, and seemed to consider the scrutiny to which he was subjected as a matter of course. After remaining about the police courts for some time, be suddenly left the town for parts unknown. Whether his hasty departure is to be attributed to the fact that the Pentane in the town had become aware of his presence has not transpired. It soon, however, became bruited that Corydon had visited Liverpool, and several persons called at the detective office to satisfy their curiosity, to see a person who had become so notorious. If Corydon's statement is to be believed, the Fenianathrough out the country are busy at their work again. He is 1 1 stated to have seen severs' " centres " in London, and to have learned by some mesas that they were busy. This, however, is exceedingly doubtful, for, after the part , that Corydon played in reference to the late outbreak, it is not at all likely that be would risk himself in the corn- piny of men who certainly would not communicate any to him, and who would in all probability not be slow to mark their sense of what they consider as treacherous conduct towards their friends.—Li errpool Mercury. An application was yesterday made to the Liverpool magis trates for a warrant against the above-mentioned person, who, when in Liverpool on the previous day, had called upon a shopkeeper named Smith, in Whinichapel, and would have shot him with a revolver bad not a woman in the shop interfered. His animosity to Smith arises from the latter having sent a contribution to the Makatea newspaper re flecting upon the Fenian informers generally. The Poor-law Board having disallowed the re freshment expellees incurred la the Camberwell officials during the recent re-assessment of the parish and passed by the auditor, the pariah officers of 186a-6—Messrs. Pew, Crimfurd, and Howard, churchwarden', and Mears. Walden, Bartlett, and ThornhUl overseers—have been required to pay the amount (1501. by Wednesday next.

GREAT WESTERN. yesteA long discussion took place after the close of our report rday. The CHAIRMAN in replying mid it would be wrong in him to make auy intimation ae to the mode of paying the next dividend, not being positive on the subject. The amount of debentures taken was not sufficient to enable them to pay off the temporary loans and it would depend upon the state of the money market. He denied that the rolling stook was in a bail condition generally speabing the fact being they were gradually replacing the brold by the narrow gauge. The stook ia general wee not going down. They w ere making no alteration in the Weymouth stook. He should cordially welcome Mr. Thompson on the board, but he, like other good men, had declined to serve, and it was with great difficulty Mr. Smith was induced to take • temporary seat at it. With regard to the rent charges, they were mentioned es part of the liabilities. A certain number increased till they got to a maximum—the figures put down were the result of • careful calculation. Though they might look • large MUM of money it was the worst, and they would not be added to. With respect to the 550,000 k liabilities the committee had called for, the five yearn liabilities being the whole of the liabilities, none of the obligations had been entered into recently, and the bulk of them were very old ones. It would be their duty to postpone the new works where 'pueblo. They could not avoid carrying forward in the Vale of Neath account a small balance just the lama as in other cases, and they weld have declared • larger dividend, but preferred carry mg i!r. ve latn • ted t that the balance of the Great Western was the bal ance of a working railway, while that of the Vale of Meath was a banking balance, and they were nut getting the balance they were entitled to by the act. The CHAILDAN said that practically it was of no conse quence ; and if the interest of money should be high again next year the Vale of Meath might not have 5/. per cent. It might have happened that a few persons did or could not take up their dividends in six per cent. stook. He should adhere to the policy be had commenced of all capital accounts, except what had been authorised,i the works of which were in progress. The directors would incur no future liability without coming before the proprie tors. He quite agreed with the sentiments of Mr.Mirdoch with respect to the substitution of debenture stock for de bentures. He most say that Mr. Mitchell bad laid before the board his figures. No doubt if they doubled their charges, and retained the same traffic, they would double the earnings, but the passenger rates were at their maxi mum already, and parliament would not sanction any in crease. They should not raise their rates unless other railways did. The matter had been carefully ooruddered, and however pretty in theory the plan might be, it was really impracticable. He hoped that the hon. proprietor would withdraw the amendment, which really did not alter the state of things. In reply to Mr. Pluca, The CHAIRMAN said that the new capital was entirely for new rolling stock. The amount of rent charge men tioned in the report of the committee was for the whole year. The sum voted by the proprietors to the directors was 6,0001. a year, which had been reduced by the board to 5,0001. a year, which was very small considering the work of the directors. Mr. TuceelT, in reply, said that he had brought forward the motion on account of the distress that would accrue to many poor shareholders who relied on the dividends as a portion, if not the whole of their living, and refused to withdraw the amendment. The amendment was then put and lost, and the report was unanimously adopted. The CHAIRMAN then moved the adoption of the report of the consultative committee, which was seconded by Mr. Giles, who explained the course which the committee had taken, and stated that they had strictly investigated the matters brought before them at a cruel loss of time. He totally denied that they had acted with partiality in aspect to the selection of the board, and that they had only tamed out the West Midland directors. The fact was, that two Great Western directors voluntarily retired, they had refused to recommend the re-election of four others, and one South Wales one. The only question before the committee in selecting directors was not whether they represented any particular section, but whether the men whom they selected were cal culated to promote the best interests of the Great Western Railway. (Cheers.) He gave great praise to the officers of the company for the mode in which the accounts had been kept, and said that every farthing properly chargeable to revenue had been so charged. He admitted that some of the broad gauge carriages were in a bad condition, but so far as the narrow gauge carriages were concerned the line was as well equipped as any line in the kingdom. The resolution was agreed to. The CHAIRMAN next proposed a resolution for the pur pose of carrying out the 4th and sth Gleams of the report with respect to the payment of dividend by a preferenes stock. Mr. Wow), in seconding the resolution, pointed out that the fact of the reduction of the temporary loans would give coefidenoe to the shareholders and the public, while eventually the proprietors would be greatly benefited. Mr. Pawn complained that they were putting the share holders at a disadvantage with the general public by the mode in which they proposed to pay the dividend. He asked the board whether it would not be better to issue the dividend in 5 per cent, stock instead of 41 or G per cent. stock, at the option of the shareholders. The CHAIRMAN explained that they felt their posi tion financia ll y was so much stronger that they were en titled to get money at 44 per cent. The 4; per cent. was at 95/. in the share list, and the 8 per cent, wee SQ., so that practically the 41 was the best investment. At the same time the shareholders could take which they iked. _ _ In reply to a SttAiteitotrien, The CHAIRMAN stated that they had about 60,000/. 5 per cent. debenture stock, but it was the wish of the board to reduce all their debentures to 4i per cent., and this was a step in that direction. The amendment of Mr. Price was rejected, and the ori ginal resolution adopted. Mr. Gmrs then proposed the election of a committee to select auditors, similar to the committee of the London and North Western, which was agreed to. Resolutions for the transfer of certain debenture stock into Great Western stock, to convert debentures into de benture stock, and for the purpose of consolidating stocks and rent charge► generally, were also agreed to. A unanimous vote of thanks was then given to the con sultative committee. . . Mr. BRAIISIEV, in responding, stated th►t they declined to take anything for their services. (Cheers.) A similar vote to the chairman and directors brought the proceedings of the meeting, which lasted nearly four hours, to a clues. LONDON AND BRIGHTON. After the despatch of oar iesterday's report, Mr. FILDER recommended thee the remuneration of the directors should be reduced from 2.800/. to 1.80 W., and that the solicitors' bills should be referred to the m asters of the several courts of law for taxation. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CONLEGMAII desired to impress upon the directors the importance of attending to the develop ment of their traffic, and characterised as a mistake the reduction of the duration of return tickets from Friday till Monday to Saturday till Monday. Mr. Codex complained of the amount of the working expenses, and recommended that the company should apply to parliament for power to increase their fares. He seriously questioned the propriety of the proposed arrangement .eith the South Eastern, whose affairs he contended were not in so favourable a position as repre sented by Mr. \Vatkin. Mr. WEST said that the proper means of extricating the company from its difficulty was to increase the fares. No one could object to the addition of one shilling to the first class fare to Brighton. Mr. E. J. Hga.trarn was no advocate for high Gres, hut be thought that in the condition of this company the director. ought to charge as much as they could get. (Hear, hear.) The working expenses could not remain at the amount of the last half year, and he was certain that in ordinary times the preference dividends would be covered. Mr. SAMCDA congratulated the directors upon the course which they had adopted in abstaining from the pay ment of the prefers ice dividends and in charging to re venue all the expenditure unde rtaken upon its account. He protested against the South Eastern arrangement se unfair to this company, and asked the directors to give • pledge that they would never send out any more proxies. Mr. Wrremmt recommended • general amalgamation of all the railways in this part of the country, but deprecated the increase of fares upon the London and Brighton line. Mr. Gartnerr asked what the directors intended to do , with reference to the non-paying branches? Mr. Leers said that the impropercharges against capital were made for the benefit of the ordinary shareholders, and that, therefore, the loss of dividend occasioned by restoring the balance as between the capital and revenue accounts ought to fall upon the ordinary shareholders, and not upon the holders of preference stock. He recom mended the board at once to recognise the position of the preference shareholders by granting deferred warrants, accompanied by certificates of indebtedness, and above all things to avoid litigation. (Hear, bear.) Dr. EVA/118 said that the proceedings of the board bad been altogether in favour of the ordinary shareholders, and easiest the holders of preference stock. The CIL/161UL in replying, repeated the explanation which be had given as to the mode in which the directors had dealt with the preference shareholders ; and added that at the end of the year they might consider whether they should apply to parliament for power to issue de ferred warrant.- a power which at present they did not MrThey should endeavour to do what was equitable chases of shareholders, and probably in any appli cation to parliament they might seek to provide some means by which the holders of preference stooks should be aliowedto takepart in the management of the concern. He believed that in many instances their single fares were too low, but they could not be raised without an alteration of the parliamentary maximum. The abolition of the Friday return tickets was not the work of the present board. He declined to consent to the disuse of proxies, but suggested that the shareholders might by the appointment of an audit committee strengthen the hands of the auditors and obtain more complete control of their affair'. He premised login, this matter his most serious consideration. He expressed his opinion that the question of the remuneration of the directors—with which he had nothing to do, u be received a special vote of 2,5001. per annum—ought to be left to those gentlemen themselves. (Hear, bear.) After some experiense of pubs affairs he had Dome to the conduit* that railways were, of all concerns, the most di ffi cult t o manage, and he wee certain that the directors were not o_veTaid, but (Featly underpaid, for their servi ces . Finay, be explained that the solicitor's bills were &lira). taxed. The immolation was then put end agreed to, u were also other resolutions, providing for the conversion of certain ' stooks.

The half-yearly moan of this company was held yester clay at MhAriad Kr. J. Brewster in the chair. The chairman, in moving: e t to e adoption of the report, Sr the regret of the , that owing to the @Ugrian state of the company, they were unable even to meet ' debenture interest, and the revenue did but just meet the working expenses. He also regretted that they had not before then the novenae account for the past two years, in consequence of their not having been sent in by the contractors, Sir D. Gooch and Mr. Sperling, but roughly speaking, he believed the earnings for the hall year amounted to about 3,2001. In this state things, which he admitted to be as bad se bad could be. i had been suggested that they should call upon the tyres Eastern Company to work the line, according to th e ac t o parliament, at 50 per cent., but the majority of the direr tors were opposed to this, and preferred to wait, hoping to better times.
