In 186.3 the amount of capital proposed to be raised by 595 bills was 126,441,7081.; in 1866 it was proposed by the promoters to raise 175,490,6461. by 634 bills; in 1887 to raise 42,638.77,W. by :121 bills; and in the last session 25,207,3581. by 2214 private bills of all classes. The dininution in the number of bills petitioned for and the amount of capital proposed to be raised by them is more remarkable in railway bills than iu any other class. In some former years the railway bills petitioned for have been three-fourths of the whole number, whereas in the late ,session they have been less than half. They contrast also in this, that in former years a considerable majority of the railway bills have involved new works and powers to raise capital ; in the lute session the larger proportion of rail way bills petitioned for have been for extension of time to purchase hunt and complete works, for power to abandon authorised lines, for legislative sanction to share and dividend arrangements, or for some other purpose not requiring additional powers to raise capital. For the • • - there were ,^" • peunona presented for railway bill., of whieli 67 were of the 6488 referred to, awl made no rifoltion of ne w capital, and;! tnitaraced powers to raise capital by shares, or loans, or both. Of th‘ta: 103 bills 32 were either abandoned by the promoters or rejected by the officers and committees of the Houses of Parliament, the re maining 76 having received the royal assent. A considerable proportion of the 25,207,3561. now capital proposed to be raised by the bills of the recent session was included in the bills that have been dropped or rejected, and considerably less than 20 millions in all is authorised by the new nets.

'110,P47,886 Among the private bills passed in connexion with which the creation of new capital is autho rised the following may be named as including largest amounts :—The Thames Embankment two bills), capital 1,633,0001. ; Gas Lifsht and Coke Company, 1,487,5001.; Clyde Navigation, 600,0001.; Grand Junction Water,4oo,ooo/. ; and the Brad ford Waterworks, 360,0001.; all the other bills go for smaller amounts, down to as low as 7,6001. The aggregate capital in the bills petitioned for includes street tramways as well as railways. Of these there were three schemes for London, and one for Liverpool. Two of the London schemes failed to be read even a first time ; the third—the Metropolitan Tramways Bill—was put off for six months, on the motion for its second reading in the House of Commons. The Liverpool bill for a system of street tramways had the support of the corporation, on their obtaining certain clauses, and of many of the principal inha bitants, who gave evidence in its favour in the three days' contest on the bill in the Commons' committee. The omnibus interest, for sufficiently palpable reasons, opposed the bill, and the London and North Western Railway Company for reasons less obvious. The Liverpool street tramway will be on a sufficiently extensive scale, and will pass through thoroughfares of such width, and having such an amount of traffic as will fairly test the applicability of that sys tem of locomotion to the streets of our large cities and towns. The Tower Subway Bill, which has received the royal assent, should also probably have been classed with the railway bills, inasmuch as the new tunnel will be furnished with rails upon which the passenger car riuges will travel between the shafts at each end. These shafts are to be about 50 feet deep, and the tunnel 8 feet diameter. The carriages will be lowered and lifted, it in proposed, by hydraulic power. The passage of the river will be aocom plished, it is expected, in about three minutes from one shaft head to the other. The estimate is only 16,0001., of which it is proposed to raise 12,000/. by shares and 4,0001. by loans. The works will be completed, it is expected, in about eight months from the commencement. Mr. P. W. Barlow is engineer. • Three ere for street tramways to be worked by "animal power." Tann RAILWAY REPORTS.—The report of the (heat Southern and Western Railway Company exhibits an increase in the traffic for the half-year of 4,3821. se compared with the corresponding period of 1867. After paying the proposed dividend, at the rate of 61. per cent., there will remain a surplus of 2,7241. to be carried for ward against 6,7421. last year. The re po rt of the Dublin and Wexford Railway Company has been issued : The directors are able to announce a very encau in crease in the receipts from passenger traffic of 6, compared with the June half-year of 1867. The depres sion In the sulphur trade has, however, interfered with the mineral traffic, and the decrease under this head re duces the net increase in the half-year to 3,8361. The total expenditure shows an increase of 4,1671., but as there is an exceptional charge for compen.tation ain t ri arises from the Bray accident, of 6,3841., the o eexpenditure appears to have been slightly reduced. MORTON AND THE BRITISH ASSOMATION.— Yesterday atown meeting was held at Brighton for the purpose of ilf ac Te British Association to hold its 1869 meeting at that . The invitation is a joint one from the county ofSussex and borough of Brighton. The county invitation was doodad upon at a meeting held on Batted& , convened and presided ove r by Earl of Chichester, lord-lieutenant of the .

Arthur Williams. 30, sailor was charged on remand with entering Ifaher's hotel, Minoriee, and stealing a quantity of bedding. The prisoner was seen about a fortnight ago to enter the hotel by a back and private entrance, and suspecting bun, Anthony Monger, a City detective officer, went te the house by the front door, and found him cemdig out of one of the bedrooms on the ground floor. hi the room all the bedding had been tied up in a bundle, and ready to be taken away. When arrested the prisoner shammed being di unk. The hotel bad been entered twice before, and on one occasion the entire wardrobe of a young French woman, of the value of 201., was stolen. The prisoner was afterwards found selling one of her dresses. The prisoner addressed the court, and said be wan per fectly innocent of the charge. He had been a sailor for wavy yews, and had never done a dishonest action. Several City policemen said they knew him as selling spurious jewellery in the streets, and as having been con victed. • The case was adjourned to see if that was so, and yesterday. Sergeant Cox, of the It division of police, said on the Sth of July the prisoner was charged with burglary and stealing 121. worth of goods, and was sent for trial at the Middlesex sessions, where, by making an ingenious speech to the jniy of an hour's length, he wee acquitted. Since that time he bad been in prison for seven days. He bore a very bad character in Austra lia, and had been Ohm We. sided there. The Lord Mayor eta timed him to three months' hue labour _ _ . • GUILDHALL. Samuel kralltr, of 215, Fort-street, Spitalfielde, a oar. man in the employ of Mews. Shoobert and Co., of Swan yard, Bishopegate, surrendered to his bail before Sir B. W. Carden, to answer the charge of cruelly ill-treating gad torturing a horse by workiag it with sore knees. The chief constable of the Royal Society for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Animals was present. Joreph Brabner, 106, said that about two o'clock on Friday he saw a l one in Messrs. Shoobert's cart, and his attention was attracted to it by observing blood and matter running front under the knee-cape down its legs. He asked the defendant to step and then he took off the knee-cape, which were stained with blood and matter. There was a large wound on each knee, and blood and matter oozing from them. He took the man into custody, and the home to the Green-yard. Mr. Shoobert said the horse fell about nine months ago, and since then it had worn knee-cape in case it should fall again. He thought it very wrong of the constable to take thedefendant into custody. Sir Robert W. Carden supposed the knee-cape were put on to hide the sores. Mr. Shoobert said that was not so, for the old sores had been well a long while, and it was only from a fall the horse had while it was out that day that they were bad again. • Sir Robert W. Carden fined the defendant 10e. or seven days impiiscmment, The 'AM was at once paid. C'RAZOIt OP CHILD ITZALINO.

Clarke she had not, and not being able to dui the child she went home and told her husband. In re ply to Mr. Tyrwhitt, witness said she never gave the pr isoners permission to take the child away, nor had ele ever amused Mrs. Clarke of taking the child. In reply to Mr. Beard, witness said she spoke to the r °lice the night she lost the child. Was perfectly sober-- had some ale during the day, but was not tipsy. Nothing took place after the female prisoner said she shonia to have the little girl, except a little joking. Would not give her child to any one. The joking consisted in sag female prisoner saying that she would like to ha 0, the child, and that she would take care of it. i maa y a pi honer did not ask her to part with the ch" „A- raw her husband about; three hours afterwards et a a mimed-room, and told him of the late of the Aum saw an in spector of police, and made a P:Aveami to him.

Mrs. Chard, questioned by the magistrate, said—As her husband behaved so harshly towards her, she shoidil have been glad at the time to have found a decent home for her child. Did not know where the prisoners lived. When in the public-house the male prisoner took uo part in the conversation. Her husband had taken the child to the woman he was living with. Police-constable Chapman, K 167, said, when the child was brought to the court last week, she wore a black dress and mantle. Mr. Tyrwbitt remarked that the dress now of the child was very different. Mr. Beard asked the constable what character tho prisoners bore. The constable said they bore a very reepectable charac ter, and kept a decent home. He believed the child would have been much better off with the prisoners than with the father. _ _ _ . Margaret Clarke, Dudley-street, recollected going to the Crown public-house with Mrs. Chard. The child was left in her care by Mrs. Chard, and as she wanted to leave the public-house for a few minutes, she asked the prisoners to have an eye to the child. When she got back to the public-house the child was gone, and the prisoners also. On cross-examination, witness said she Sad taken a little drop. Asked the prisoners to take care of the child for a Jew momenta, as she thought from their appearance they would do so. Mr. Beard asked the magistrate if he considered the evidence was strong enough to satisfy a jury that the prisoners took the child away from the mother's control without the mother's consent, or whether the case was within the meaning of the act at all. The words of the act were " forte or fraud," but certainly neither had been emplged in this case to deprive the parent. of the custody of their child. Mr. Tyrwhitt said a higher tribunal ought to decide whether a woman could deprive her husband of a child by any consent of her own. The question was whether the mother and her friend, Mrs. Clarke, after having had plenty of drink, did not walk away, leaving the child with the prisoners, who had taken a liking to it. For his own part, after hearing the evidence, he was sorry the child had been discovered, there being no doubt that the greatest care had been taken of it. The case, however, could not be withdrawn from a jury. He must commit the prisoners for trial, but would take their own recog nizances to appear at the sessions. 3IARKRT.s. • TAiNI)(I2.I WEEKLY 1)()(1( RETURN. - A Ittiportd. two.it- W.

SENT (Rwrowg). - - imi• the return match to that played at Gravesend on the oth July, was commenced yesterday at Kennington Oval. It will be remembered that at Gravesend Kent obtained an easy victory, which was mainly attributable to the fine bowling of Mr. Lipscomb awl WRlsher. Kent's majority on that occasion was II 1. There were some departures from the published lists, and both teams were weakened by the abstraction of a good man, Sussex claiming Southerton from Surrey and Pay ne , from Kent, both of whom were play ing for therooluity 'proper" at Brighton against Middle sex. Kent had no less thanseven gentlemenplaying forher, and amongst themMr.Kilson,who received so severeabtow ' in a minor match at the commencement of 1867 that he has been unable until now, with a solitary exception, to take part in any of his county's contests. Mr. Mason's re-appearance on the " tented field " appeared to give great satisfaction to the backers of Kent, and to those who remember his brilliant performances in 1861, 1 8 65 , and 1866. On this occasion the " Home County " wen the toes, and of course elected to take first innings, send ing in as per usual Humphrey and Jupp at 12.25. Kent, on the other band, selected her " crack " bowlers, Mr. Lipscomb and Willaher, to commence the attack, and a very excellent commencement they made. Willsher started the bowling from the Pavilion end, and off his first over Humphrey gota 2 and a 3. InMr. Lips comb's subsequent over Humphrey gave a " chance" to Mr. Cooper at wicket, which was availed of (one for 5.) The Surrey wicket keeper made three singles, and then was bowled "slick" by Willsher (two for 12). Se joined Jupp, and carried the score up to 30, St e phenson Lipscomb took off Jupp's bails with a ball that struck him on the thigh, after he had madel7 by a four,six twos, do. (three for 30). Griffith, who succeeded, drove Will slier straight back (very hot and very high), bathe did not hold it ; he however pro str ated Ortinfha off stump with a " trimming" ball (four for 35). The first noteworthy biteffected by the new comer, Mr. Calvert, was a 4 off W illaher through the slips. Stephenson batted with extreme care, showing the face of his bat to every ball, and Willsher was in rare "form," but in endeavouring to hit a leg ball of 21r.Lipecomb'b he was a "shade" too late, and it landed in Compton's hands (live for 49). Mr. Calvert elicited a ganmne cheer for a brilliant drive from Mr. Lipsomnis for 5, and he speed il y rattled up, in his usually dashing style, 24—the highest score on Ins side— by a five, a four, three twos, Itc., when his career was suddenly cut short by an extraordinary catch, made by Mr. Troughton, who was fielding at mid-o ff , and who ran at least 20 yard; or nearly to mid-on, and received the ball while at full speed. This piece of brilliant fielding was rewarded, as it fully deserved, with a hearty round of applause (six for 76). At 77 Bennett went on bowling, and Sewell got a ball in his second over to the on side for 5. After each batman had had a narrow escape, Bristow was given out "leg before" (seven for 89). Just after Mr. Noble made a straight drive for 4, and Sewell, in attempting a run too many—was cleverly throwig out by Mr. Cooper (eight for 100). The colt Pratt (a Mitcham lad), made a successful Mut. He played several oven of Wanner's admirably, demon strating that he possessed an excellent "nerve," and to show that he could hit, he drove Ben nett nearly straight for 4. Mr. C. Noble also made a good drive for 4 to the on side from the same bowler. But Willsher, in his fourth over after luncheon, sent down a real beauty, which took out Mr. Noble's middle stump ; his 14 included two four's and two twos, well hit Street got a cheer fora good " crack "to long on from Bennett With the score at 129, Mr. Li comb again bowled, vice Bennett. Street drove Whisker very finely forward for 4to the Pavilion, and 130 went up amidst Surrey cheers. At length Pratt was bowled by Willsher with a ball that would have beaten many a veteran. Street carried out his bat for a well played 16, including a five, a four, and three twos. The innings closed at 4.50 for 136. The bowling analyses thus— Willsher, 49 overs, 28 maidens, 41 runs, 5 wickets ; Lipscomb, 32 over!, 7 maidens, 60 runs, 3 wickets. Bennett 16 overt', 6 maidens. 86 rims, 1 wicket. Kent began their innings with Mr. Rodger and Remnant at 66. They were bowled at by Street and Bristow—the former delivering the first over. Singles only were scored for some time, but at length Mr. Rodger after making 3 in the slips, cut a ball of Bristow's for 6—a real beauty. With the score at 26 Griffith went on, and 3 were made of a " no ball" he delivered. At 39 Street and Griffith " changed hands," and the„: first subsequent ball dissolved the union, Remnant's off stump being bowled (one for 39). Bennett soon showectus his old form, but lest Mr. Rodger, who was well caught by Pratt at a very forward cover point, low down (two for 41.) The next operator was Mr. Cooper. At 6.16 fifty were telegraphed, and after a wide hit or two, Mr. Cooper, who was in his best form, made a very fine drive for 6 off Griffith, who then made way for the " colt," but Mr. Cooper sent his second ball away for 6, then be made another grand drive to the on for 6; then Bennett got a .5 for a fine late cut admirably " timed." The colt was taken off at 90, and Sewell went on. Soon after Street put down a good one, which carried away Bennett's leg stump (three for 96). Bennett's 20 included a five, a four, a three, a two, &c. Mr. Troughton joined Mr. Cooper, and the score was elevated to 100 at 8.60. Hero Southerton was ranch wanted. At length Street caused an ominous "rattle behind," and Mr. Cooper had to retire, for a rare bitting innings of 46, including three sixes (2 added to one of these stems by the overthrow), a five, and 3 threes. It wanted three minutes to seven (time) when Willsher went in ; be made a angle. and at the first stroke of the clock the stumps were drawn, the score being as under: 81•1117.—First Innings.

On gaturday Mot :Stools, * tea pecker, was indicted for knowingly and unlawfully penonating a nd falsely assuming to vote in the name of Henry Hurley, at an election for a member to serve in parliament for the city and County of Bristol, at Bristol, on the 29th April. Mr. Justice Mellor, in his charge to the grand jury, referred to the case, which ill one of three. He said there were three charges of attempting to bribe and personate voters. The cases were shirt and very simple, and if the jury found that the prisoner who was charged with bribery did really offer a bribe to a person tovute in a par ticular, manner, they would ; but if they found that it was merely a case in which • good deal was said about voting and what war the value of votes, but that no money was really offered, they would not find a bill—it was a matter which depended entirely upon the judg ment of the grand jury and the construction they put upon what took place between tha parties. Then there were two cases of personation, and these also were tole rably clear. Hie lordship remarked that if a man per sonated another it was an offence of a very serious cha racter, because if it were done to a great extent it would make the election not only not an expression of the feeling of the inhabitants of the city, but it would be brought about by fraudulent means. Morris, who was first placed at the bar, pleaded not guilty. Mr. Norris appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ffooks for the defence. During the swearing of the jury Mr. Maks raised an objection to Win. Butcher serving as a juror. The Judge—On what grounds do you obj ect? Mr. Ffooks—On the ground that he holds very pro- nounced opinions on politics, and voted at the hat election. don't see anything in that objection. Everybody bolds very . decided opinions in these days, and vegrP. pronoun ced am instructed that his are more pro .. pounced than usual : . ............... case of a gentleman of the jury having expressed a . very strong pi on on the cam about to be tried there might be for objection ; but be cause a gentleman voted on the opposite side I cannot be lieve he would be influenced when on his oath. It would be very difficult in Bristol, or any other city, to find anybody who is not of pronounced opinions. Mr. Flocks—As I have expressed an opinion about that one juryman, perhaps he would allow some other gentle man to take his place. The Judge (warmly)—l shall not allow anything of the sort to tae Oace, Mr. Ffooks. I should be making a joked tie brisl if I allowed that. . 'After several iicinicali;gjectiOna bad been made and overruled, and formal evidence given, the case was proved by the following evidence :—Mr. Win. Henry Cork said: —I was Morley 's agent at the last election, and attended No. 7 booth, Bedminster. I saw the prisoner at the bar come to the booth. He put down a blue scrip. I heard the deputy-sheriff ask him the usual question*, and he answered them. I remember the number on the scrip—it was 3,090. I heard the oath put to him. Before he voted I protested against the vote, and said the man was at sea. The pnsoner made some remark about being at home now, which I did not exactly understand. Mr. FfoOke—Mr. Miles' agent also protested at once, I believe ? Witness—Yee. - Mrs. Harriet Hurley said—l am the wife of Henry Hurley, who resides at 96, Philip-street, Bedminster, when at home. He occupies the house, and has a vote. He was not at home on April 29th. To the beet of my belief he was at sea. I knew nothing at all of the prisoner. He is not my husband. No other Henry Hurley lives in Philip-street The learned Judge, in summing up s : t h g e t r te said that the learned counsel (Mr. Molts) bad the desir ability of this offence going unpuniehed w h en an election was over. Be confessed that he was of a vary different opinion. Offences of this description affected the into. gnty of the return of members to serve in parliament, and ought not to go unpunished. And he could not understand how it could be an " agreeable duty " for the jury to acquit a man if they had no doubt of his guilt upon looking fairly at the facts of the care. He a dm ittedthat there were very often charges of bribery made which turned out nothing at all. A man said loosely, " Cane with us, and if you vote you'll get something," and so on. Things like that were some times misconstrued, and in those cases in which merely a little excitement prevailed at elections he, for one, thought it was generally desirable to let the excitement die away. If the charge bad been one of making a disturbance or a riot he should base raid that the counsel's suggestion was a proper one. The sooner the excitement of a contested election was buried the better. But this was a very different thing: This was an offence which sapped the very foundation of an election altogether, if it was true. His lordship then proceeded to review the evidence, and, having done so t said he could not divine what reason or motive could induce the prisoner to personify another man. The question was, did he knowingly vote in the name of Henry . Hurley. If that was made out to the satis faction of the jury they must find him guilty, and if it was not they would acquit him, but not because it was au " agreeable duty, and not because, the election being over, there wu a bill of indemnity for every offence against the law. After abnef deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of Guilty. His lordship said that before sentencing the prisoner he should try the other cases. This morning William Cogan, described as a labourer, was indicted for having unLwfully and knowingly per sonated and falsely assumed to vote in the name of one John Hearth, at an election of a member to represent the city and county of Bristol m parliament, on the 29th of April last. Mr. Norris conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Wood ford. Ffooks the defence. _ _ Prior to the calling on of the cane, Mr. Ffooke applied to the learned judge to allow the hearing to be deferred for a little time, as he had been told that there was a clause in the Corrupt Practices Act of the lest amnion which bore upon it, and be had sent for the act. Mr. Justice Mellor said the learned counsel had bad all Sunda_ y and till 10 o'clock that morning to obtain the act. lie did not see how any clause in the act could apply to that case, and he therefore saw no reason for inter feting with the regular course of business. Mr. Noma then opened the case, witnesses were called, Mr. nooks addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, the learned Judge summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Justice Nam them directed Morris, who was con victed of a like offence on Saturday, to be placed along side of the prisoner for sentence. Each of the prisoners was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour. Mirka oteplieffs, a floor-cloth worker, was then indi c t e d for• having =lawfully offered certain money, to wit, 10a., to a certain voter named Albert Hawkins, to induce him to vote at an election for &member of parliament. In other counts he was charged with having offered sums of money to certain voters named Edward Bennett and Aaron Stiles, in order to induce them to vote. Mr. Munch and Mr. Norris prosecuted, and Mr. Ffooke defended the prisoner. Evidence having been given, the _jury, after a long con sultation, were unable to agree. Three jurors stood out for acquittal. and the 'udge, as we learn by telegram, at a late hour discharge d them.

David Neak, a dock labourer , was brought before Mr. Burcham for final examination, charged with being con cerned with another not in custody in stealing a waggon load of pollard from the warehouses at the Fountain Wharf, Bermondsey, the property of Messrs. Phillips and Co. Mr. Thomas Beard prosecuted; Mr. Edwin defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner bad been in the employ of the prosecutors as a labourer, but was discharged on the lath 'ultimo. He afterwards kept about the premises, and on the morning of the 20th he, by some means, got poseession of the keys at a very early hour. When the superintendent of the wharf came to business he found the place open, and he missed several sacks of pollard. From information afterwards received the prisoner was given into custody. Peter Pettit, foreman at the PoUary, Bermondsey Wall, opposite the prosecutors' wharf, said that about six o'clock on Monday morning, the 20th ult., he saw a van under one of the loopholes, and Neale and another man on the second floor of the warehouse lowering sacks full of some- I thing into the van. Knowing Neale to be employed there for some time he thought it was all right, and took no particular notice of them. A carman, in the employ of Mr. Duke, Curtain-road, Shoreditch, said that on the morning in question he was sent with a horse and van to Fountain Wharf, Bermond sey, where he met the prisoner and another man. The van was loaded with pollard, which he took to the pre mimes of Mr. Pain, in the Curtain-road, the father of the man who hired him. Henry Hayden, clerk to the prosecutors, said Neale had no business at the wharf, and had no authority to remove the pollard. Mr. Beard, on behalf of the prosecution, said that they had not been able to find the other man, but the whole of the property had been recovered from the person who pur chased it innocently. The prosecutors were therefore willing to forego further proceedings if the prisoner pleaded guilty. By the advice of Mr. Edwin he pleaded guilty, and Mr. Burcham sentenced him to six months' bard labour. AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS. The week opened with a moat brilliant day, and a clear Italian sky throughout. Monday was a fine breezy day, and a grmt deal of harvest work accom plished ; the corn going up in the finest possible condition. Tuesday win a hot scorching day, and every hand which could work was fully employed to do something in fur thering the progress of harvest. Our advice. on that day were as under from the West Biding of Yorkshire : " The dry weather continues, and the turnip crop is all but a complete failure, and getting daily worse. Cattle are on winter food, in a great measure, and sadly short of water in many places. Harvest operations are pro gressing favourably, and farmers should now push on, or the corn will soon shale in the field for over ripeness." From the East Biding it was remarked :—" Weather continues very dry and hot, and harvest in this district is now making rapid progress. South of the Humber a great portion of the crops is already housed ; the quality of the wheat this season is very fine and unusually heavy, and when tested by thrashing, the result has generally proved very satisfactory. Spring corn is very various, and on the whole must prove considerably below this average." From Suffolk—" Quality, weight, and general condition of the wheat superb, yield good. Barley being secured in fine order. This district promises well for this grain. Hot and dry weather ; rain very much wanted." Wednesday was a warm and splendid harvest day. From the east coast of Scotland our advices dated —" Harvest is now quite general in this district ; we have a continuance of very hot weather." From the falling state of the barometer and shift of wind to the 13.5. W., a change in the weather appmred close at hand, and on Thursday morning at Vain. a steady gentle rain set in, which continued for two hours or more, sad the remainder of the day proved shower,. This desirable change was everything for the parched country, and may give a little general relief wherever it was ex perienced ; while the temporary check to harvest opera tions would not prove unfavourable, and would be hailed by every agriculturist as likely to do more good than harm to any grain yet in the fi elds. Friday morning was showery, but not much rain fell daring the day. and har vest work would proceed again. Our advices from Devon shire stated the wheat crop was nearly entirely housed, and such was the case also in Cornwall, but in the latter county barley was not all secured. Some heavy storms bad been •ng during, the week. From the West Riding of Yorkshire our advice, were as follows :—" &nos Tuesday we have bad a slight shower or two, but hardly enough to lay the dust. Our harvest is going on steadily, but not fast enough, except where the r machines are in full awing, ex oars is 've l ey re : t ai and would be in daniZ o i l f a u st a ro c a re wind or rough should come on." our advices stated : " During the whole of yesterday heavy rain fell in all this district, and there has been more or less downfall in many pub of the country ; though cloud,y this morning we have only had occasional showers." From Lincoln shire, near Brigg, our information runs thus:—" No rasa yet falls in this diatrict, though and the glass have promised some. Th grams being stacked in very fine condition ; in fact it is so dry that great waste is the zonsequence; for the sheaves on being pitched into the waggons are eo dry that an enormous quantity of grain falls on to the ground. Much tarn has been last, es pecially barley, before it was cut: for the extreme heat ripened it rapidly, and then the high winds ' necked' it, though a great er loss must have resulted if the reaping machines had been unknown." The week closed with a breezy day, cloudy at times, but very little rain fell, and perhaps iu no w eek . during any previous harvest was ever so much gram 'Jocund, or in finer condition. The tanners thus fully oceupood have been unable to supply the markets, but the heavy weights of the new wheats are attracting much attention, and for theca sate misailmoberseleasesioss.--Aferk-istre Awes.. EAST LONDON RAILWAY. The seventh ordinary meeting of the proprietors was held _yesterday at the City Terminus Hotel, tannon street ; Mr. W. Hawse in the chair. The report (which has already appeared) was taken as read, and in moving its adoption, Mr. HAWKS said the directors had already iieuea a con siderable number of debentures. and were in negotiation with regard to others. At the same time they thought it undesirable to create a permanent stock till a subsequent period, when the works .would be completed, or approaching completion. The engineers' report was of a much more satisfactory character than any that had yet been ironed; and he really hoped that the line would be finished as far as the London Docks by the end of the year. The oompany's bill for extension of time and for making an improved junction with the Brighton lines at New-cross had been strenuously opposed by the Great Eastern ; but parliament, holding that the Great Eastern bad wholly failed, had granted the measure. The Great Eastern direction, in their report just lamed, charged this company with a debt of 600,0001.; but the real case was this. When the present company applied for its bill, the Great Eastern opposed it till this company consented to a clause prohibiting it from obtaining any land that the Great Eastern might want for its own lines. The bill having passed, the Great Eastern gave this company notice to prevent it from buying the property between Old Broad-street and Bethnal-green; and then an agreement was entered into by which this company was also to have the use of the land. This company immediately began its works; but when it had spent 36, 0 001. it discovered that the Great Eastern could give it no title at all, and the works were etopped. From that time till quite lately the Great Eastern had made no claim upon this company whatever. When its works were begun the portion of the land which it was about to use was estimated at 200.00 W., and as this company was to pay one-half of the value of the land for the easement, the amount really due would be 100,000/. The land taken by the Great Eastern was in some places for eight, and everywhere for four lines • and it seemed absurd to contend that this company, which only required two, ought to pay for half the land, which it did not want. Again; the value of the land which the Great Eastern ne ed ed was originally estimated at 600,0001. ; whereas now it was stated to be 1,000,0001. How was the difference accounted for P It was said that 100,000/. would go in an enlargement of the station • but still that left 300,000/., and it was admitted that 200 ,0001. was for interest on uncompleted purchases, and for law expenses. Surely it would be unreasonable to expect this company to pay half the expense entailed by pur chases which the Great Eastern could not carry out P When the Great Eastern were able to pay for the pro perty—which they had not yet been able to do ; to give a title—which they could not now give; and to get pos session—which they had not yet been able to do, they would be entitled to receive from this company half the purchase-money of the land over which this company had en easement ; and in the meantime he (Mr. Hawes) should be guilty of the greatest possible dereliction of duty U he surrendered the right of this company to that easement, and at the price stated. He denied that this company had shown any disinclination to meet the Great Eastern on fair terms. The exact con trary was really the case, Thus, the Great Eastern Board had requested Mr. Hawkskaw to devise a plan . by which expense might be saved to both parties. Mr. Hawksbaw had accordingly framed plans and spsed- Acations but the Great Eastern Board' had from that day to this never taken them into consideration. Again, he (Mr. Hawes) had sought an interview with them to talk over the matter, but in the meantime legal proceeding! had been begun ; and he could only . say that he should be happy to submit the questions in dispute to arbitration, or to iiioo any course that might lead to an amicable set tlement. (Hear, hear.) The board had cancelled the old contract, and had entered into a new one, which he be lieved would be profitablehoth to the company and to the contractors. The works were going on favourably ; they were admirably executed; and his confidence in the sue ases of the undertaking remained unabated. (Cheers.) After a little discusnoe, The Chisinnur said he mama admit that the board had 'spent 36,0001. on land to which they had no title ; but the fact was, they believed that the land belonged to the Great Eastern.
