The report was tan. n itP read. The t HAIMMAN moved the adoption of the report and a, counts. With regard to the revenue of the past half-year, he thought if it was not pre-e minently satisfactory, yet .0 omparison with other e ompaniee their proprietor; had mach reaeon for congratulation upon the progress they had made. The depressi on of trade and the dearness of food had no doubt deprived the working classes of the means of travelling to the extent they otherwise would, but taking their revenue with all these drawbacks, it was better by 110.000!. than in the corresponding half of last year. The working expenses by which they had been enabled to earn this extra sum, hail only increased at the same time by 13,000/., or' 26 per cent., so that they had beau enabled to add per cent. to dividend, after leaving a balance to be carried forward to surplus of more than 4,000!. The passenger traffic had increased to 10.753,304 paasengers by the several classes, as asphaltlo,tt,;,sl.i. 10,21.5,j15. The receipts from the merchandise tzaffic also showed an increase of 25,875/. On the other hand, they had spent 74,9.12?. in mainteluniee of way, against 66,8821. ; but a portion of this increase was rendered necessary for the improvement of the viaduct at Preston. The running expenses hail been 86,602/. against 89,7691. last year, and were less by 3,169/. But the cost of renewals hail been 56,601/., against 41,844!., being snore by 11,757/. The charges for locomotive power were 139,652!., showing an increase of 10,381/.. which wasattri l.utable to a number of engines having been rebuilt, and others largely renewed, but they had spent no money out of capital amount for renewals. The amount paid for compensation had been 17,14(W., against 31,09'21. last year, and 11,4871. in 1860: and he complained that in giving compensation no respect was paid to the amount of fare, but companies had the same amount of responsi bility where the fare was represented by almost the smallest coin as by a greater, which he thought was un easonable. The traffic expenses ware 230,3171., against 234,644/. The total working expenses were 554,0211., against .141,8941. In glancing at the progress of the company since the amalgamation, he said the revenue at that time (18.19) was 1,754,0811., while in the your ending June, 1868, it was 2,b41,667/., an increase of 78,,586/., or 45 per cent. The capital in 1859 was 18,471,4941., and it was now 22,933,396/., an increase of 4,461,902/., showing that the companies had not acted upon the dog-in-the-manger principle of occupying a district without expending libe rally to supply its wants. In the same period—from 11,59 to 1868—the dividends of the company had increased from 4'. to t per cent., and he contended that in the future similar management might be expected to give similar remits to those which had placed this company in its present proud position. Mr. DrODALE seconded the report, and it was adopted. A motion was_ adopted passing the dividend recom mended by the board, and made payable on the let Sept. The meeting was afterwards made special, and autho rised the raising of capital under the Chorley Act. SOUTH E.ISTER.V. The report of the directors states that the gross receipts exhibit an increase over the first half of last year of 12,769/.

After providing for all outgoings, as well as dividend and in terest on all loan and preferential capital, there remains 99,097/. 4s.

There has been an increase of 625 in the number of passengers carried, and 21,5651. Bs. sd. in the amount received, notwithstanding the addi tional earnings derived from the Exhibition at Paris in the corresponding period of last year. In the merchan dise traffic there has been an increase in the receipts, as compared with the year 1867, of 3,633/. 3e. &l.,whialt awn Las been earned at the small increased expenditure of 1571. In the working expenses, on the whole expenditure there has been a diminution of 8,796/. Os. 3d. The dimi nution in the number of passengers conveyed by the steamships, as compared with 1867, is attributable to the opening of the line between Calais and Boulogne, and to the akence of the Paris Exhibition traffic. In accord ance with the powers given to them by the resolution of May 16, 1867, the directors have created 4,359,263/. of de benture stock, to be used iu the extinction of the old bond debt as such falls due ; and they have allotted to the holders of original stock, debenture stock at par amount ing to 3,818,4401., of which 3,294,350/. h as b een ta k en up. 255,000/. has been issued to capitalists, who joined in guaranteeing the issue, and also 28,6001. to ,hers (not directors) entitled to a n allotment ; thus 3,677,850/. out of 4,369,2631. created, has been issued. The directors have offered the remaining amount to the debenture and preference stockholders, as well as to the holders of con solidated stock, at a premium of ten per cent. The directors propose to appropriate the premiums on this stock ex it is disposed of by them to the reduction of the sapital account. CORK AND BANDON RAILWAY.—The report of the directors shows a deficiency of 289/. Ile. 4d. iu the tveffic receipts as compared with the corresponding period of last year, which is attributed to the general depression of trade throughout the country. GOVERNMENT CON-TRACT FOR Rum.—Tile Admi ralty has accepted the following tenders for the delivery of ram to Deptford Dockyard within the next three weeks:—Henry White and Co., 37,800 gallons; T. Lowndes and Co., 15,000—total, 52.800 gallons. An inmate of Lan caster Asylum has drowned himself in a brook 11 inc Les deep. He was only out of the keeper's sight for five minutes, and was found lying facie downwards in the shallow stream, quite dead. INTERESTING CEREMONIAL AT A WELL.—The rector of West Toft (the Rev.

PI6EON RACE FROIL DOVER TU LONDON.— Yekerday morning a pigeon -flying match took place, in which twelve London pigeon fanciers agreed to fly a pigeon race home from Dover for a sweepetake of one guinea each. The pigeons were tossed tip at stipulated periods at intervals of five minutes. and on their fa - rival home were produced at Southwark-bridge. The bird found to have accomplished the journey in the least time was declared to be the winner. The quickest pigeon. a blue akinum , the property of Mr. H. Brooks. performed the route in two hours and six minutes. the second pigeon occupied two hours and eleven minutes, and two other birds came the distance in two and a quarter hours. The distance is about eighty miles, and the winning pigeon must have flown at the rate of one mile in one and a half minute. The weather was hazy, the air heavy to fly through, and a drizzling rain impeded the progress of the Pigeons. The body of a wan in an advanced stage of decomposition was found among the trees in Chesnut wood, at Borden, Kent, on Tuesdav evening. It was identified a, the corpse of a shepherd, whose disappear ance a few weeks ago caused some excitement in the neighbourhood. It is thought lie died of exhaustion.

Rain fell during th e w hole night, and continued mire or low heavily up to about 11 o'clock, when the clouds " lifted" a bit, and a couple of hours later the sun shone through. The ground was, however, to wet and slippeiy, and the whiltets were so "roildraed," that any attempt to play at the advertised time was entirely out of the qua-tam—so, although the rain kept of, it was determined not to commence opera tions until half-past three, at which time the bell runs/stud the sti ouud was cleared. Sawdust ad libitand was useilubout the wickets, the foothold being wretchedly bad. Hum yyhtey and Jupp took perversion of the wicket', the former mg made 2 overnight. Willeher began the bowling for England, and off the third ball Humpluoy made a tingle to the on side. He then got two twos and several Aught', amounting to eleven, while Jupp only booked a single. Then Humphreys elevated a ball of Mr. Grace's, which Silcock ran to from mid-on and secured—one for 11. Jupp, who had been in nearly three-quarters of an hour for a single, at length got Mr. Grace down to the Press tent for four, which brought out • cheer, and Pooley made • couple of threes. It was the pursuit of cricket under difßculties. A cut for five caused a great clapping of hands, and 30 were telegraphed. Jupp was shortly after given out leg before wicket, he having been altogether an hour at wickets for eleven runs--two for 36. Mr. I. D. Walker now faced the Surrey wicket keeper, who, however, had to retire without addiug to his more, as Mr. Grace gave him ono a little too good, bowling down his off stump—three for 36. Another wicket (Mr. Greets) went with the first ball from Wilhher—four for 36. Then came Mr. V. E. Walker to the retcue; the light was again indifferent, Willeher wise bowling well, as usual, but of amen got no help whatever from the ground. Mr. I. D. Walker cut Mr. (trace finely for three, and then he nearly played a hail "on." Mr. V. •E. Walker placed a ball of Mr. (lace's well on the slips, and then that gentle- MD retaliated by bowling his off stun five for 49. The game was now in an interesting phase, exactly half the runs for a moiety of the wickets. Her. Stephen eon went in and effected an off-drive for 2 from Mr. Grace. It was Mr. I. D. Walker's fate to dispatch himself. as an over or two later heplayed a ball of Willsher's on—six for 51. Hearne drove Willsher bravely to the off, the ball being finely fielded by Summers, and Southerton just saved his wicket. He then had a cheer for a good drive for 3 from Mr. Grace and another for a 4 from ll Wieher, which he propeLeed to leg. He did all the batting just now, Ins next effort producing 3 from • grand crack to square leg ; this, however, was too hot to lust, for Ileanie in doing Mr. Grace in his favourite wiry, was very well caught by Silcock, who was lying deep—even for la; the next man in was Grif fith, but after making a couple, Willeher bowled his wicket " all over " eight for 72. litephenson's defensive quali ties were again brought into requisition ; then he drove Willsher straight for 2, and Southerton drove Mr. Grace to the off, and the next ball to the on—each for 2. The game now became exciting, and every hit was cheered; 80 went up. The Sussex man got a 2 bard on the on side from Mr. (}race. Windier bowled several good overs, and they were well " played," and six ovens were bowled for a siugle run. Southerten got a single from Mr. Grace made with a 2 by an overthrow-90 up. (Cheers.) Southerton batted admirably, but Mr. Grace got at Stephenson's leg stump when eight were wanted to win. Steplienson'a was a most patient innings of 13, for which he was at wickets an hour and twenty minutes. Hewitt "cracked " Mr. Grace to long on, but Charlwood, strange to ray, missed the catch, and two were booked intdeatt ; he made also a single off the next ball. The shouting and clapping of hands was tremendous when he got a two to leg. He then made the winning hit, a very fine off drive from Mr. Graec; and so the " Counties" won thin fine match by one wicket, amidst great excitement. The spectators endeavoured to hoist Southerton arid Hewitt on their shoulders, and the cheering lasted for some time. Southertou's not out 11 was a isipital inniugs; and too much credit cannot be given to Howitt, who went in "on the pinch" to win the match, and "brought it off." The bowling reads thus, Wilisher's figures being remarkable, to wit :-44 overn, 28 maidens, 28 runs, 4 wickets. W. G. Grace : 44 over,, 14 maidens, 67 runs, 5 wickets : ENOLAND.

Asko Bemis, a private in the Soots I Loafs surrendered to take his trial for manslaughter. Mr. F. 11. Lewis prntecuted ; Mr. Itibton defended the prisoner, who, by hie advice, pleaded guilty to the charge. Mr. Justice Lush raid he had read the depositions, and it appeared to him that it was not a case that called for puuudinient. The decciiied appeaied to have okallenged the prisoner to fight and he declined, and endeavoured to gut away from Tam, and the deceased went utter him. Re did not find there was any evidence that the prison.er had kicked the deceased, and, although the blow he struck might have aoceleiated his death, he t`..ought that justice would be satisfied by his ordering the prisoner to be fur ther confined for anhour. • The effect of this sentence, of course, was that the prisoner was discharged. Witham C6ok, 21, wan charged with the manslaughter of Hobeit Blackett. Mr. E. I'. Wood prosecuted ; Mr. Metcalf Wlll counsel for the defence. . The prisoner was the driver of a pleamire van, mid ou the llith of July be wee on his way home with two other vehicles of the same description, when, according to the ewe fur the prosecution, the prisoner attempted to piss the other two vehicles, and in doing no he ran against the deceased, who was wheeling a barrow by the side of the road, and knocked him down and ran over anal killed him. It waa urged on behalf of the prisoner that he wits not driving fast at the time of the accident, but that, at the moment he was paining ono of the other vans, a band that was in it suddenly commenced playing, end fright ened his horses, and that this was the cause of the mis chief. The learned judge intimated hie opinion that, upon the facts before the court, the.cavo aviitmed more the Perm of an accident than a criminal act, and the jury (oak the eame view of the matter, and returned a verdict of Ad • - - - - - - - - Joke Cravireaua, 49 f tailor, was chiogerl with felonionsly attempting to murder his wife, Mary Crurnmens, by.throw ing her out of a window. Mr. Harris prosecuted. The prisoner and his wife occupied a back room on the third floor of a house in James-street, Oxford-street, and on the night named in the indictment screams were heard issuing from the prironer's room in a woman's voice, and also cries of " Murder!" and " For Clod's sake, don't!" Almost immediately afterwards the preeeeutrix came out of the window head foremost, and she fell upon the leads underneath, a distance of 19 feet. Immediately the woman fell the window wan shut, and an alarm was given, _and the police went to the pri soner's room and knocked at the door. After some time the prisoner opened the door, and the room was found to be in great disorder, and there was a great deal of blood on the floor. The prisoner was thea asked where his wile was, and he said he did not know. He was then charged with having thrown his wife out of the window, and he replied that he was innocent. The effect of the fall upon the unfortunate woman was to dislocate her left hip, break keverul of her ribs, and came her other serious inpiries, and her body was covered with bruise., either by rough handling or by blows from some blunt instrument. At first it appeared that she was considered in danger, but she was now ccnvalereent. The statement made by the prisoner before the magis trate was to the effect that when he went home he found hie wife drunk, and he locked the door and went to bed, and he did not know that she was out of the window till the police came. lie now told the mane story in hie defence. The jury found the prisoner Gallfg of committing the act with intent t& commit murder. It was stated that on a previous occasion the prisoner had made another attempt to throw his wife out of the window. The priscner wag fientenced to 2.1) year° penal servitude. (Before the Recorder.) Francis :Varian, a respectably dressed man, wu indicted for stealing four sheep. Mr. Poland and Mr. Besley conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Montagu Williams and Mr. Straight were for the defence. Upon this charge the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner was then indicted for stealing twelve sheep on the 16th July. Mr. John Court, a cattle dealer, of Northampton, was the prosecutor in this case as well as in the last, and it appeared that on the morning of the 16th of July, at 7 o clock, his shepherd counted fiT sheep, including a number of white-faced ones, in the field which was hired from-Mr. Taylor. Next morning, on again counting the sheep, the shepherd found that twelve were missing. The evidence connecting the prisoner with the robbery was to the effect that he-end .his eon were seen in the field about noon on the 16th July ; that they drove some sheep towards the gate of the field, and that they were after wards seen driving 12 white-faced sheep by a circuitous route to Southall. It was also proved that the prisoner requested permission from the landlady of a public-house to drive the sheep through a field by a private way, but wee not allowed to do so, and that on the morni n g of the 17th he sold the carcases of several sheep in Newgate market. The prisoner was apprehended on the charge on the 'Mb of July. On the part of the defence, two witnesses were called. The first was the prisoner's son, a boy, who stated that a week before the 16th, his father bought 30 sheep, that some of them were killed from time to time, that there were 16 remaining on the 15th of July, and that they were turned out to some building-ground at the back of the house from which they were missed on the morning of the 16th. He proceeded to date that the butcher in his father's employment went to look for them, but did not succeed, and that afterwards he and his father went in search of them. They went, he said, into Taylor's field, but did not find any of the missing sheep there, and they did not drive any away ; they then went into a lane close by, where they did find some of the sheep, and others they found a little farther on. Among them were some black-faced ones. This evidence was partly corroborated and partly contradicted by the butcher who first went in search of the sheep. He deposed to fifteen sheep being missed, and to their being brought back by the prisoner and his son in the afternoon of the 16th July, but he said that the whole of them were white-faced, and that they did not form any part of the 30 which had been bought in the previous week, as these had all been taken direct to the slaughter-house and killed. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty. The Recorder, in passing sentence upon the prisoner, who, it we. stated, had only been in the neighbourhood for about seven months, said it was impossible to have come to any other conclusion than that which had been arrived at by the jury, and the case was aggravated by the prisoner calling his son to tell a story he knew to be false. The sentence upon him was that he be kept in penal servitude for five years. tebrisarr IShaslie --------- -were stolen Pewter Platter } tutl, Fla.

At Camlough a body of Roman eathol, marching in procession to the music of fife and drum, endeavoured to force their way past the police into the protestant district. The intention of the proeesbionista was frubtiuted by the exertions of the constabulary, who were aided in the most praiseworthy manner by several Roman catholic clergymen, and the Roman catholies were obliged to retreat to their own neighbourhood. One priest was so enthusiastic in his efforts to keep the drum ming parties back that he actually kicked in the ends of three drums. CRYSTAL PALACE. -- ONR SHILLING DAY.—.

Robert aril Burin was brought before the Lord Mayor for further examination on the charge of embezzling a large sum of money belonging to his employens, Messrs. M'Alpine, and Co., calico printers, Cummersdale, Stead. Mr. Humphreys again appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Merriman, of the firm of Merriman and Buck land, for the defence. It will be recollected that the prisoner wee the London agent of the prosecutors at a salary of 2801. a year, and that having engaged in private trading he appropriated about 4,600/. out of the moneys passing through his hands as agent to Messrs. Stead, M'Alpme, and Co. On his defalcations being discovered he gave up a list of securi ties, but a warrant was subsequently applied rg for and he was given into custody on the present Yesterday some further evidence was given as to the payment of money to the prisoner which he had not accounted for, and the case for the prosecution was then closed. Mr. Merriman, for the defence, said he would ;wove that there had been a suppression by the prosecution of some most material facts connected with the case. On the sth or 6th of. December, 1867, it was discovered that the prisoner had been guilt of defalcations, or alleged defal cations, and he that his conduct had been highly improper, and that he might with justice have been given into cust ody. But the prosecutors did not then give him into custody ; they received from him a statement of what he (Mr. Memman) called his assets, and so far they treated the affair purely and distinctly as a matter of account ; and the prisoner attended upon Mr. Harper, the accountant of the firm, for about two months, piing through the accounts with him, and giving him every possible information. The firm also ob tained from him. through Mr. Bailey, who acted in the double capacity of attorney for the prosecutors and the prisoner, the property of his other trade creditors ; and it was only after that, on the 24th of February, that they instituted criminal proceedings against him by laying an information which conveyed but a partial statement of the circumstances. To a grea t extent the securities handed over by the prisoner had been realised ; and he submitted that, after the witnesses he should call, ad verse though they were, no jury would convict him of the charge which had been brought against him by the prosecutors in the ease. He expected that Mr. Stead would have been present, but as he was not here he stoked for a remand, in order that he might have an oppor tunity of putting him into the witness box. In compliance with this request the prisoner was again remanded until this day (Thursday) week.

To 'make the case properly understood, it my be stated that during the past two or three years between 300 and 400 sheep and lambs and some bullocks have been stolen from and around the metropolis, the principal robberies taking place in the northern suburb& On 114 28th at lIAMATEUSMITH, St,e,y, the keeper of the Globe teershop, I:corge stricct, Notting-hill, was inimmoned for Sunday trading. Two police-constables, named Swatton and Peek, pivi% ni watching the defendant's house between 10 minutes past 7 and 1 o'clock on Sunday morning, the 2nd inst., +ur•l during that time they saw 149 persons go in and come out of the font door, 33 more went into the back and leave by the front door, and eight bottles and one jug were handed in and retuned. They also saw 93 other persons go round to the hack of the house, but they were unable to state whether they entered or not. Mr. Martin, who defended, called two of the defendant's lodgers, who stated that the bar was locked up on tile morning in question, and that the defendant said he would not serve for a sovereign. He also stated that the defendant had a number of lodgers, that a large num ber of brickmakers were in the habit of lounging about the neighbourhood, and that on the morning in question many persons were attracted to the defendant's yard by his having a horse for sale. One of the witnesses explained that bottles were passed for water. The police then called Acres, one of the summoning officers of the court, who stated that on rending the sum mons to the defendant he ' , aid he must do a trade sonic time as he had to live. . . Ingham thought the police had made out a stmng case, but the evidence of the lodgers gave a sort of ex planation. The evidence of Acres, however, had given a tuniing-point to the case. He (Mr. Ingham) had no doubt about it, and he fined the defendant 51., and Li. costa. WANDSWORTH. N,. Colliugloterne, a pawnbroker, carrying on business in the High-street of Wandsworth, was summoned under the following circumstances. The complainant was Elisabeth Berry, who pledged a new silk dress for Be. only, it having been lent by a friend who was in mourning at the time to raise the money, us she was not in a position to lend her any. On the dross being redeemed it was found to have been worn and spotted with grease. The defendant's foreman, who attended with the dress, said it bad never been out of the warehouse. Mr. Ingham looked at the drew, and saw marks of perspiration under the arms. It was also examined by persons in the court, and they all declared that it had been worn. The owner of the dress, who is in service, came forward and said she never wore the dress, the material of which cost her ftve guineas. The complainant also mid she never wore the dress. She took it, as she received it, to the pawnbroker. Mr. Ingham had no doubt that the arms had been worn, and recommended the foreman to take it and pay the five guineas. The foreman then raid that pawnbrokers were not liable for any damage to property in their care. Mr. Ingham said they were. If any pledge became of lees value, he had the power to allow a reasonable satis faction. The owner now estimated the dress at 541. Ultimately Mr. Ingham orderedthe dress to be delivered up, and the defendant to pay 21. 2a. RITrALISTIC OFFENCE AT BARROW-IN-FCRNEii. —On Tuesday, at the Ca lisle Consist°.iy Court, applies. tion was made by Thomas Carter Baynes, 'brazier Barrow in-Paniess, and now a churchwarden of St. Ge orge, Bar. row, for a decree monishing the Rev. Tuffnell Samuel Barrett, M.A., incumbent of that church, to remove. or cause to be removed, the brazen cross now placed on the ledge or super-altar at the back of the communion table of the said church, and also to remove certain screens, and replace the communion rails.

That the said cross still remains in its said posi tion. That two moveable screens, covered with coloured drapery, have been recently placed, one behind the said cross and the other in front of the communion table of the said church ; and that the said eczema still remain there. The said screens are constantly covered with a succeasion of cloths, embroidered and decorated in a !anodel man ner, and which cloths are varied at different seasons of the year.

That the communion rails have been removed from their position in front of the communion table, and placed at and across the entrance of the chancel of the said church. That the said cries and screens have been intro duced into the said church, and the alteration in the reading desk and communion rails have been made by the said Tuffnell S. Barrett, the perpetual curate of the said church, without any lawful authority, and that the same are offensive to the religious feeling of a large number of the inhabitants of the said district." The case was ad- Led for a month, in order that the allegations might . duly filed in full.
