THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 28, 1868: ELECTION INTELLIOENCE. Mtn-Smuttx. - A crowded meeting of the elec tors was held on Wednesday last at the Lecture Mali, Rich mond; Mr. W. J. Maxwell, J.P., in the chair. The Chairman. after a brief address. called upon Mr. Gold amid, who addressed the meeting at considerable length. Several electors having asked questions as to tU candidates views upon trades unions, the equalization of poor rates, abolition of the ratepaying clauses of the Reform Act, the ballot, &c., and receiving satisfactory replies, Dr. Selfe moved and the Rev. George S. Ingram seconded a vote of confidence in Mr. Goldsmid, and pledg ing the electors present to use their best efforts to secure his return. The resolution was carried with but one or two dissentients, amidst enthusiastic cheering and after "three cheers more" for Mr. Gladstone, the meeting separated. BILA.DFORD.—Mr. C. Miall began last evening to go the round of the wards to explain his political views to the electors. The first meeting was held in the east ward, and Mr. Titus Salt, the well-known manufacturer, of Saltairo, occupied the chair. A letter written by Mr. Miall to Mr. B. Kell, in reply to some aspersions on his course in reference to national education, has been pub fished. Having reviewed his whole course in reference to the educational movement, he adds:—" Be it remembered that when, by the passing of the Reform Act of 1867, and months before a vacancy in Bradford was anticipated. I saw that the people would have political power to mould their owu educational system, I withdrew my opposition, and announced my intention of aiding them to the utm ost of my power and influence in obtaining a really national system of education, undenominational in its character, based on local rates, and regulated by local management. Not my sectarianism, but my detestation of sectarianism, moved me to a great extent rn ' the opposition' I offered to what is called a national, but what in reality has been a clerical, system of education." BURY.—Viacotatt Chelsea, eldest eon of Earl Cadogan, has consented to place himself in the hands of the conservative party of Bury ; and • meeting will be called as early as possible to determine respecting his can didature in opposition to Mr. R. N. Philips, the present liberal member. CAMBRIDGESHIRE. Lord Royston has just issued a second address to the electors of this ciunty, and thus refers to the church of England in Ireland now threatened with demolition:—" I am opposed to such a measure as against my religion. I cannot support it as a political act. Ido not think we would conciliate Ireland by robbing her of her church property; it will, moreover, stimulate agitation, for it will offend our protestant brethren without satisfying the wants of the bulk of the Irish people." Coe Kinmotrrit.—The Earl of Mayo announced to his supporters at Cockermouth on Wednesday night that he had accepted, after due consideration, the Governor-Oeneralship of India. His brother, the Hon. Henry Bourke, will be the conservative candidate for Cockermouth. Major Green Thompson, M.P., will retire. DEVON (Sotm).—Lord Amberley's supporters had a most successful meeting at Holeworthy, on Wednes day. Mr. George Cobam presided. About 2,000 farmers rallied round his lordship, who delivered an energetic speech, which was followed by a tremendous uproar. Questions prepared for the occasion, on paper, were handed to the noble lord, chiefly having reference to the Dialectical Society. Lord Amberley declined to answer the questions. He threatened legal proceedings against repeating the calumnies which had been brought against him. A regular fight was then commenced in the crowd. A resolution, however, in favour of Lord Amberley was carried by an immense majority. A similar meeting was held at Hatherleigh the previous day. HACKNEY. —Last night Lieutenant-Colonel Dickson addressed a crowded meeting at the Norfolk Arms, William-street, Bethnal-green. The gallant colonel had a vote of confidence accorded him. Norm LzicEsTratsmas.—Lord John Manners has issued his address. The noble lord claims credit on behalf of the government for the suppression of Fenian bin, the increased efficiency of the army and navy the success of the Abyssinian war, the foreign policy Of the country and its tendencies to the maintenance of peace, the union of the North American provinces, the adminis tration of the poor laws, the ext en sion of thegactories Acts, and lastly, the Reform Act of last year. NEWC.IBTLZ-MiDER-LYNE.—At a numerously attended meeting of liberal electors on Wednesday even ing a resolution was passed in favour of bringing for ward a second liberal candidate for this borough. It was stated that there were about 1,600 to be added to the voters of the borough, about three-fourths of whom were liberals. The names of several gentlemen were mentioned whom it would be desirable to select, including that of Mr. Morley, editor of the Fortnightly Review, who had written to a gentleman in the town to express his readi ness to visit the borough. It was, however, decided to first invite Mr. M. D. Hollins, manufacturer, of Stoke upon-Trent. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCZ-/THIS DAL) (BY TELEGRAPH.)

Mr. Uniacke Townsend, a passenger by the train, gave a very clear amount of the catastrophe. Ile .aid that when the surviving passengers left the scene after the col lision, they were not aware that anyone MRS killed. They hoard of the stoker being mining—that was all. The im pression that prevailed was that the fire proceeded from the goods in front, and it was impossible to see a yard ahead. Mr. Hone, a passenger, confirmed the ltatoment of Mr. Townsend. Both say, with a view of disproving the evi dence of Mrs. Dickens, that it was impossible to approach the burning carriages and speak to the occupants. The court, at its rising, will adjourn till Tuesday. LONDON, CHATHAM AND DOVBR RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) The half-yearly meeting of the mortgagees wan held at noon at the Vict,)ria Station, Pimlico, Mr. POW6LL in the chair. The report having been taken as road, The Cif ADMAN commenced by referring to some of the principal items . As regarded the expenditure, no doubt, he raid, it was very heavy, but that admitted of expla nation. The . expenditure of the last half-year was 207,000/. against 200,0001., showing an apparent increase of 7,000/.; but that arose from renewals which were ab solutely neoemary for the public safety. The out lay was, too, an economical one, inasmuch as on the extensions steel rails were being substituted for iron ones, and heavier rails were being laid down on the main line. As to the past legal ex penses, they had been incurred most usefully. In the case of the Kent Coast Railway the course pursued had led to a saving of 26,0004 a year, and in the ease of Sir Morton Peto's estate there was a saving of 600,0001., and 10,000/. had been already received in dividend. (Hear, hear.) The expense of working the metropolitan ex tension was 89 per cent. That was a high rate ; but there were a certain number of miles of railway that must be maintained and renewed, and the stair and other considerable expenses were sufficient for a much larger traffic. If the traffic were 600/. a week instead of 3001., the general result would be a dividend. He could not hold out a hope that the working expenses would diminish very much in amount. There was a net revenue of 82,0001., out of which many charges had to be met before any payment could be made for deben ture interest. These charges, amounting to 34,0001. odd, left a balance of 47,0001.; but even that balance was subject to various demands. He then mentioned various items of charge, including a payment of 7,0001. to Mr. Churehward, for sealed obligations, the violation of which would involve a seizure of vessels. Payments of that kind must be met either as they had been or by the issue of fresh stock. Personally he would rather forego debenture interest than have any increase of stock ; but, looking at all the cir cumstances, he thought the board was right in contemplating the issue of the "A ' . stock. He then stated that he wished it to be understood that he did not give his own consent to the issuing of the stock in question. Adverting to the late increase of fares, he re marked that he thought the writers in the pre had not treated the question in a fair spirit, wring as they had done, as though railways were the property . of the public, and directors its servants. Nearly all the increase of the Great Eastern Railway revenue was owing to the raising of the rates for goods. Eighty per cent of the passengers on the London, Chatham, and Dover line were third-class passengers; and the directors had arrived at the conclusion that the revenue would be increased by raising the fares. As to residential traffic, the construction of suburban railways had greatly hene fitted landowners and houseowners, while it had done little to benefit railway companies. (Hear, hear.) They were carriers, and the question was simply one of supply and demand. (Hear, hear.) Any de crease of receipts which had yet been seen in their own ease did not arise from increase of fares. (Hear, hear.) Where the farm had been raised it had been almost impossible to find any appreciable decrease in the amount received. Mr. Duos, a director, seconded the motion. In the course of a long address he said he did not intend to sign away his own priority for the purpose of raising capital, andintimated that he would advise other mortgagees not to sign away theirs. Mr. RICHARD Honosos (a debenture director) contended that the report was too favourable, and alluded to certain items in support of this view. One or two debenture holders protested against the course which Mr. Hodgson was taking, but the Chairman ruled that as a debenture holder he had a right to pursue it. Mr. HODGSON then continued his criticisms in the mine strain as before. The deficiency for the year 1866-7 was, he maintained, 240,0001., and, adding to that the low for the past year, there was a total deficiency of 532,0001., while the proposed issue of 600,0001. of A stock would involve a further charge of 30,00 W. a year. He believed that the moment the prospectus for this purpose was issued there would be • fresh flood of litigation. He quoted from the "opinion" of counsel in support of this statement. The CHAIRMAN remarked that Mr. Hodgson had quoted only such parts of the "opinion" as suited his purpose, the general tendency of the " opinion," which was that of Mr. 11. Lloyd, being in favour of the proposed issue of dock. Afr. SHUN moved as an amendment that the report be referred back to the directors, particularly as regards the City line. After some discussion the report and accounts were agreed to. IMPROVED INDCS27tIAL DWELLLV(7B C'OM .PANY ILINITBD).-ITHIB DAr.) The half-yearly meeting of the members of this company was held this davit the Cumon-street Terminus Hotel : Sir S. H. WATERIAJW presiding. The report, of which we have already published an ab stract, having been taken as read, The CHAIIIILAN proceeded to move its adoption, and referring to the state of the various properties possessed by the company mentioned that at that at Wapping the competition of other tenements at a lower rent, want of employment for the people, and emigration from the district had somewhat reduced the amouht of theil rental, but rather than that the dwellings should not be fully occupied it was contemplated to reduce the rents. The alteration in the system of levying local taxation, consequent upon the passing of the Reform Act, had largely increased the rates, which the company had de termined to continue to pay themselves for the protection of tenants who rather than come in contact with the col lector would give up their houses for inferice acoommodation elsewhere. He hoped parliament would either go back to the old compounding system or revise the whole basis of local taxation which pressed unfairly upon the working classes. Negotiations were in progress for the purchase from the Marquis of Westminster of a site in the upper part of Upper Ebury-street for the purpose of providing dwellings for servants in Belgravia, who were unable to obtain decent places to live in near to their business. The directors bad spoken to the loan commissioners with re ference to the heavy charge of the government solicitor who examined the titles before loans were granted. After a short discussion, the report was adopted, and the usual dividend was declared at the rate of a per cent. per annum. TEE SINGULAR AND FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT AT BLACIFRIARS-BRIDGE. An inqu iry ittha was held last evening, at the Crown Tave s rn, h h-str eet pman,, Shadwell, ear& touching the death of Mr. Sara ag 29 Mr. Chas Chapman, ed 70, Br y oad-wall, Lambeth, said that the deceased was his wife. He was captain of a barge. On TuesAay, the 18th inst., he was taking hie wife and five children down to Sheeniete in a sailing barge, As they were going through Blackfriare-bridge his wife sat on one of the hatches with the child, aged 14 mouths, in her arms. There was a rope lying across the hatchway, and part of that rope was merging over the side of the barge, and there was a hook attached to the end of it. The hook caught in one of the chains that was fastened to the piles of the new bridge in course of construc t i o n . As thep went on the rope was tightened, and it swept th e dec ea sed off the deck into the water. As she was falling over she threw the baby out of har arms on to the dock, and by that means saved the child's life. Witnesse jumped into a small boat, but his wife was carried away. 8. Manna, boatman, said that he found the body of the deceased floating down the river near the London Docks. 'the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."

Coastwise, as well as by rail, the arrivals of wheat from Essex and Kent were only moderate, but of excellent quality. Scarcely any old produce was on sale. The demand for both red and white parcels was inactive, at the late decline in prices. Full average supplies of foreign wheat were on sale. Very little business was passing in any description, at the rates previously current. The market for most kinds of grain afloat off coasts was quiet, at about late rates. The show of barley was good, but very few homa-growo samples were included in the supply. Fine qualities were firm in value, otherwise prices had a drooping tendency. Malt changed hands quietly, on former terms. With oats the market was well supplied. The demand was only to a moderate extent, at previous quotations. Beans and peas, the supply of which was short, found buyers at full prices. Flour was quiet, at Monday's quotations. Linseed and rapeseed were in limited request, but agri cultural seeds moved off freely. Cakes were inactive. ARRIVALS OP mum, Rc. INTO LONDON BY WATER FROM AUGUST 24 TO AUGUST V, BOTH INCLUSIVE.

The stock markets continue in a moat inani mate condition, and in the absence of all buainess except that connected with the final adjustment of the account, the tendency of prices is slightly downwards. In some cases, however, especially in Metropolitan Railway stook, the dispo sition is more marked, and prices are flat; while in some others an improvement eetab lished yesterday has been partially lost. Foreign stocks are dull in nominal quotation, and without any pressure of sales a decline has taken place. The funds are about the same as yesterday, rather weak than otherwise. There is a good demand for money, and rates are firm. The quotation is maintained at If to II per cent., but lees business is done at the minimum, while transactions have taken place at 2 per oent. The bank, however, has not experienced, at pre sent, any particular accession of business. Consols are dull at 931 to 94 for money and 94 to 1 for account. New and Reduced Three per Cents., 941 to 1; Exchequer Bills, 16s. to 20s. prem. ; Bank Stock, 244 to 246 ; Indian Govern ment Securities are steady ; the Five per Cents are quoted at 1141 to 115; and ditto Bonds,lo4l to 2. English railway shares are rather flat, and busi ness is extremely quiet. Great Northern (A) is 1 per cent. lower, and the ordinary stock 1. London and South Western is flat at 88 to 90. London and Yorkshire steady at 1261 to 127, ex div. ; Midland, 105 to 1, ex div.; South Eastern, 74 to 1, ex div. ; Great Western, 481 to 491 ; London, Brighton, and South Coast, 51 to 1; Metropolitan, 1081 to 1094, ex div. ; and London, Chatham, and Dover, 181 to 4.

The only change in bank shares is a rise of ss. in Anglo-Austrian, viz., to 61 to 7 prem. Imperial Ottoman are quoted 1 to 1 prem., and Consolidated I to J Prom. Miscellaneous shares have been dealt in to a moderate extent, at yesterday's prices.

FOUR O'CLOCK. • I Console are steady, at 931 to 94 for money, and 94} for the account. About 37,000/. in bar gold has been sent into the Bank to-day. There being no export demand for gold, the large amount of 145,000/. in bars, part of that brought from Melbourne by the Essex, has been sent into the Bank. The decrease in the receipts of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company for the week ending August 23, for passengers, parcels, and mails, was 2,3701. 19s. 10d. On the other hand, there was an increase of 4431. 6s. 2d. from the goods traffic; the net decrease is, therefore, 1,925/. 13s. Bd. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Company's receipts huve increased 2241.; and there is a falling off in those of the North - Ea stern Rail way of 1,9341. By an accidental inversion yesterday the traffic returns of the Midland Railway were made to show a decrease equivalent to the amount of actual increase. The increase in the week ending August 23 was 2,6221., and on the eight weeks ,298/. With reference to the guarantee due by the Ottoman government to the Smyrna and Cassaba Railway Company, the Porte has paid to that company the stun of 9,6001. The directors of the United Kingdom Electric Telegraph Company (Limited) have resolved to re commend the declaration of the following divi dends for the past half year at the ensuing ordinary general meeting, at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum on the 10 per cent. preference, at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum on the 6 per cent. prefe rence, and at the rate of 6 per ant. per annum on the ordinary shares. It is understood that the directors in this country of the Atlantic and Great Western Rail way have now received from America the requi site papers and powers for the completion of the proposed arrangement for the Consolidated Mort gage Bonds, and that application will at once be made to the comtnittee of the Stock Exchange for their quotations ex coupons. The following is the official return of the cheques and bills cleared in the Bankers' Clearing-house for the week ending Wednesday, August 26 : Thureday„ August 20 57,994,000 Friday, August 21 9,812.000 Saturday, August 22 Monday, Aust 24 Tuesday, A ug ugust 26 9,920,000 Wednesday, August 28 8,682,000 5.5.6,369,000 JOHN C. Pocock, Deputy Inspector. Bankers' Clearing-house, August 27. This aggregate is 17,030,0001. below that of last week ; but the reduction is explained by the fact that no settlements occurred to create an extra ordinary increase. Making allowance for this condition the return is not unsatisfactory. The weekly return of the Bank of Prance shows the following changes (the exchange being taken at 25fr. to the pound) Coin and bu llion Bills discounted Decrease 1,366,000 Notes in circulation Decrease 666,000 Private deposits Treasury balance lncrease 600,000 Advances The principal feature in this return is the large falling off in the discounts. It indicates continued inactivity in trade, while the reduction in the cir culation points to the same condition. No effect of the operations connected with the new loan can be traced in the return. By the further addition to the coin and bullion the stock is raised to the unprecedented amount of 52,396,0001. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, August 26, compared with that for the previous week, shows the following changes Circulation issue £34,617,335 Increase 821,420 Circulation active Public deposits 2,979,410 Increase 115376 Other deposits 19,838,880 Decrease 333,414 Government securities in baikingdepent : 13,790,131 No change. Other securities in bank. Coining derartmeat in both 16,697,078 Decrease 677,107 sad bullion 20,774,101 Increase 38.900 Seven day and other bills 602,963 Decrease 7,727 The Beet Notes in reserve Total mem (notes& coin) in banking department 11,818,471 Increase 323,680 The Bank has strengthened its position with respect to the stock of bullion and the reserve of notes and coin, while the falling off in the circula tion and deposits shows a diminution of liability. But the inaction of business is manifest from the large reduction in the private securities, whereby that item is now brought to the lowest point of the year. Next to these, the most remarkable feature Is the small amount of the public deposits. Within five weeks of the end of the quarter they do not reach to 3,000,000/. It is many years since such a state of things occurred at this period of the quarter.
