Frances F.liza heth Ldley,who was run over and killed in the Now North rend. The deceased was the widow of a solicitor's clerk, and resided at Nu. 2, Alma-grove, Islington, and on Saturday uvi.tlia A , the :nil inst., while crossing the New North-road ou h r way home, she was knocked down and run over by a horse and cart. Iler skull was crushed and she was killed on the spot. A postman asurod iieUrge rillCklingile11081:11 before the magistrate, that the ileceaseil was run over by a tea cart belonging to a Mr. H.. wley. of Islington, and driven by John Attwood. A wan..nt was issued for the apprehension of the latter and lie was apprehended, but he was bailed out pendirg the inquest. At the opening of the inque4 the evidence of Suckling was contra dicted by three witnesses who swore that the ilecemied was killed not by the tea cart, but by a yellow cart on which the words, " Manch e st er B o ttl e d Ale Company" were painted. Dr. Ireland states' that be came up while the deceased was still lying dead in the road, and the driver of the yellow cart then admitted that it was he that 'trove over her ; the court was therefore adjourned in order to find out the driver of the bottled ale cart, who Rai apparently the real culprit. Upon the resumption of the case today it was stated it was found that a yellow cart, carrying bottled ale, belong ing to Mr. Mitchell, Hackney Brewery, had driven through the New North-road on the night in question, and two drivers were therefore aummoned, but they de posed with apparent truth that they knew nothing of the Ali of Lie deceased, and Dr. Ireland could not identify eitherof them.A policesergeantsaid that every effort had been made to trace the owners of a cart with the words "lii cbe.e r Bottled Ale Company" written on it, but without avail. On Saturday last they stopped a yellow cart iu the New North - road belonging to the " Lancshire" &dad Ale Company, but I.)r. Ireland said the driver was not the min that admitted he was the man that ran over deceaP, 1. There being no chance of obtaining any further evidence, The jury returned a verdict " Th.tt the deceased died irom fructure of the skuU caused by being knocked &ma mid run over by a horse and cart, the owners and driver of which are unknown." CHARING-CROSS HOTEL COMPANY, LIMITED. (THIS DAY.) The half-yearly meeting of shareholders was held at I,..lfigot 11 of the hotel ; the Hon. J►MES Bum in the elude. The following report was presented :—" It affords the director. pleasure to congratulate the shareholders upon the eatisfactory result of the business of the hotel during the pa-t half-year, as, notwithstanding the extreme com mercial depression and other causes prevailing, it has not deem... 4 A to the extent which might have been antici pated. (in referring to the annexed accounts it will be observed that the trade receipts from all sourer during the six months ending the 31st Iheemlicr, 1 s6e, were 33,7441. Ils. tel. ; and that, after 'dieing 2.000/. t o the credit of the reserve fund for depreciation and renewals, and charging 2;144/. 12s. tld for interest on , lebentures,k.c., there remains6,7l6f. 4s. lid. as net profit ou the half-year, which, together with 1,3381. 14s. 11,1. brought forward from the 30th June, leaves a balam e of 8.074 f.

Your directors, therefore, recommend that a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum be declared free of income tax, which will leave a halanee of 74f. 19s. 101 to be carried forward. In order rut to increase the capital expenditure, the directors have determined upon charging the reserve fund with the cost of the South Shades, distributing it however over two years, so that the capital account inay not be augmented. After the ordinary general meeting has been held, a special resolution em powering the directors to declare interim dividends will be 'imposed in conformity with the Companies Act. 1862. During the current year it is expected that there will be a tonaidemble increase in the hotel business, in consequence of the great c u mber of visitors passing to and from the Exhibition ; and, therefore., from the commanding Position of this hotel as the west-end terminus of the booth Eastern Pailway, a good result may be anticipated." The Cumituas, in moving the adoption of the report, eleenv.lthat the simple object of the meeting was to de clvre a.l interim dividend A resolution would be pro posed %bleb would obviate the necessity for such a meeting ni hem-.

Con.,nce 1,2•2 i flair .. 1,151 CREDIT FONCIER AND MOBILIER COMPANY, LIMITED.--(THIS DAE) The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held at noon at Exeter-hall, the governor, Mr. JAilLs in the chair. The attendance, though nut so numerous as that at the last meeting, was sufficient to mire n room of unusual size. 'the report. which had been issued and published some time before, having been taken as read, The CHAINJIAN wooed its adoption. He commenced by saying that on the last occasion he reviewed the disasters of the preceding spring and congnstulateil the shareholders that nut only was the capital intact, but the boanl had been enabled to add to it Y. per share. The events of the autumn were no less calamitous than those of the spring, and their effects were touch more lasting. Scarcely a month passed without some important collapse, and a loss of less than a million hinny attracted attention. The distress was re ' fleeted on the markets of India, China, and the colonies, and was reflected back thence to this country. Every where there was a sort of paralysis. Whence did this striae ? (Loud cries of " The Point !') A SHAREHOLDER thought the chairman ought to be heard without interruption. (Cheers.) The Cri ‘IRVIAN continued—What he wanted to point out was that the difficulties of the last six months were such as made it almost impossible for joint stock companies to melba a profit. The policy of the boon! during the last half-year hail been conservative and protective, and to avoid gigantic operations, in order that they might be in a position to take advantage of any future improvement. The emit , ationa laid before the last meet ing were lower than would have been justified by facts. These valuations bail been again reduced, in order to provide for all possibilities ; and the profits of the last six months were sufficient to cover all depreciations. Many of the company's operations were far from being corm pleted, and their value would, of course, increase in propor tion as completion came nearer. He thought they would all agree that the report was as full as it possibly could be, and he del not expect any complaint on that score. The list of securities in the balance-sheet were all of a safe character. They consisted of freeholds, debentures, government concessions and shares ; and the calls left unpaid on the last of these amounted only to 7,000/. (Cheers.) The object for which that companywas originally formed was to artist industrial undertakings. Several of the companies had during the late calamitous disasters been unable to raise capital as they desired; and the board had felt it the duty and interest of the company to afford them assistance. The course they had pursued was in accordance with the spirit of Vice-Chancellor Manna's opinion that a large pro portion of the capital should be paid up, and the liability reduced to a small point. Some persons had objected to the reduction of the liability on the shares. In illustra tion of this kind of opposition) he referred to the Chan cery case of " Seaton v. Grant." The board took great credit to themselves for haring kept the capital intact, notwithstanding all the attempts to depreciate the company's property, and for having had no kisses which were not covered by profit and interest. Many sins were laid to the charge of financial com nies of which they were not guilty. (laughter.) Was there not a panic in lsil7, and were they responsible for that' He denied that the value of shares was at all re presented by the market value, especially es the shares held by the company were taken at a large discount. Ad verting to the resolutions of which a shareholder had given notice by way of amendment, he deprecated their adoption as tending to the injury of the company. The board represented 4,000 shareholders, and if their policy was sound it ought to be supported. The gentleman who had given notice of these resolutions was an old acquaint ance —Mr. Culverwell . (Laughter.) Among the proposals of that gentleman was one to the effect that any shareholder should be at liberty to inspect at any time the books of the company, a state of things which could not but tend to the injury of the concern. It was not the intention of the directors to take commission on anything until the shareholders re ceived 10 per cent.- teheers)—and as they remained at the office three or four hours three or four clays a week the remuneration which they received was, he contended, very moderate. Recurring to the value of the shares held by the company, he observed that it was taken in the balance sheet at 23 per cent. below the market value ; adding, that since the company was established the profit divided amounted to nearly 19 per cent. (" Gut of capital," and " no, no.") In con clusion, he congratulated the shareholders that the ship had not started a spar nor rent a sail, and expressed con fidence with regard to the future. (Cheers.) Mr. K WAesse, M.P., seconded the motion. _ . Mr. CULVERWELL, the shareholder alluded to by the chairman, then rose, amid great interruptions, to address the meeting. He contended that it was desirable that the shareholders should elect some new directors instead of having only beard composed of self-elected gentlemen. As regarded the remuneration of the board, be said nine directors were dividing 7001. per annum each for doing nothing. (" Igo , no.") As to the report, it was a tale of fiction and not • reality. (Laughter.) The board would not admit any new share holder among them because he believed there was some thing behind which they wished to conceal. (Cheers and expressions of dissent.) He would move that seven addi tional names should be added to the board, in order, he said, that the shareholders might be fairly represen ted. (" Oh, oh !") He had too large a stake in the company— = shares—to desire to do it any harm. (Great interup. tion.) _ _ _ This CHAU/MAI begged that the speaker might be fairly beard. Mr. etuszumrt.t. went on to argue that the qualification for the direction—namely, 400 shares—was too high, 56 shareholders only being now qualified under that regula tion. Mr. BALDWIN seconded the motion, the passing of which was, he maintained. necessary to restore confidence in the management. As the articles of association now stood, the number of directors would up to 1870 be a thing front 8 to 16, at the pleasure of the boa r; and besides this the directors were to be at liberty to vote any remuneration they pleased to each other for extra ser vices. (Laughter.) The proprietors ought to have • much larger share in the management of the concern. He advised the shareholders not to give way to panic, but to stand steadily on their guard. As to the directors, he admitted that they were men of ability and integrity ; but they were the only men who made a farthing profit out of the concern. (Cheers.) The board were indemnified by past gains against the contin gency of future loss ; and he asked them now to give the proprietors a reasunable share in the management of their own undertaking, so that if the concern should fall it might at least fall with honour. (Cheers.) Mr. GEORGE STEPHEN/40N denied that the shareholders had taken 700 f. a year each for doing nothing. They had saved the ship, and brought it safely through the late crisis. (A voice, " No, no, I have lost 2,0001." Laughter.) If that great man Mr. Grant had acted like the directors of the Joint-Stook Discount Company and thou of Overend and Gurney, he might well be blamed ; but that was far from being the case, and if Mr. Grant had been on the direction, those companies would not have come to ruin. (Cheers.) He deprecated any want of confidence in the direction as tending to the injury of the shareholders. A SHAREHOLDER inquired of the chairman whether the proposed alteration could, under the articles of association, be legally made ou that occasion. (Hear, hear.) The SoLiciroa (Mr. F. Heritage) said it was impossible for the resolution of Mr. Culverwell to be carried out at ' once, but if any such resolution should be passed, th e directors would, of course, take the steps necessary for giving it effect. (Cheers.) Mr. Sorsa supported the resolution ; at the same time expressing his confidence in the manager, Mr. Grant, than whom, health!, be did not believe an abler tuauager was to be found.

Secretaries to the East-end Central Relief Committee write :—" The committee are plead to bear their testimony to the general good conduct of the distressed during their long and severe sufferings. Many families have been obliged to pawn their household goods, and oven their own and their children's clothing, to obtain food. We have to thank those kind friends who have sent us clothing, and feel assured that our request for further contributions of clothing, blankets, and bedding will be re. sponded to in a manner that will enable the committee to clothe many families that now go about almost naked. Many children are kept indoors in consequence of being absolutely nude. An impression prevails that the destitu tion is on the decrease. We believe it is, but the decrease is ou so small a scale as to be barely perceptible. The committee assure the public that the moneys received by them are distributed among those who are destitute from causes over which they have no control." TESTIMONIAL To MR. W. A.

MONEY MARKET. -(THIS DAY.) Owl (0011 xx. The stock markets generally are dull to-day, with little business. The suppression of the Fenian disturbances in Ireland and the arrival of about 200,0001. in specie by the West India packet tend to prevent speculative sales to any im portant extent, but, on the other hand, there are very few purchases, owing chiefly to the anticipated introduction of new loans. It is also understood that several of our principal railway companies will require a large amount of addi tional capital shortly. The funds are offered, and have declined 1-16 to per cent. Some of the foreign securities have given way, while Italian Bonds of 1861 are inquired for, upon the announcement from Florence that the ministry has been reconstructed. English railway stocks are better in several cases, Lancashire and York shire showing especial firmness. Miscellaneous shares are inactive, but a slight advance has oc curred in Hudson's Bay. The applications for discount are upon a mode. rate scale, but the supply of money is less plen tiful. The rate for choice bills is 21 to per Cent. Consols are now quoted 901 to 4 for money, and 901 to 91 for the account (March 7). Turkish Bonds remain fiat, and those of 1862 and 1865 exhibit a fresh reduction of 1 to 1 per cent. Spanish Certificates have also receded 1, while Italian of 1861 have improved } ; and Greek, 1. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 551 to 561 ; ditto of 1865, 301 to ; Greek, 141 to 15 ; Spanish Passive, 221 to ; ditto Certificates, 14/ to 1 ; Italian of 1861, 531 to 1 ; Mexican, 17g to i ; Russian Scrip, 21 to 4 prem. ; and Chinon Scrip, to I Prem. United States 5-20 Bonds show no variation, at 731 to 4, but Erie and Illinois Central Railway shares have declined to 1 per cent., the present prices being 371 tog and 771 to 781, respectively. Anglo-American and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference shares are quiet ; the former are quoted 151 to 1, and the latter 21 to 1. International Financial shares are quoted 21 to 2, 1 z dis. ; London Financial, 18 to 17 die. ; General Credit, 2;! to 21 dis. ; Credit Fancier, toy} dis. ; National Discount, 81 to prem., ex div.; and Hudson's Bay, MI to 164. HALF-PAST Thais o'CLocc. Consols lave improved per cent. since 1 o'clock, the present quotations being soi to 91 for money, and 91 to for the account. About 10,000 sovereigns from Egypt have been sent into the Bank. At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rented, opened at 60fr. 57c., showing no change of im portance. The prospectus of the new Danubian Loan will be issued this evening. On Saturday, a Queensland Government Loan of 5::::),000/. was announced, and the expected Danu bian Principalities Loan of upwards of one million will, it is said, be brought forward this week. Even if these new issues of stock do not cause sales by existing holders, they have at least the effect of diminishing the absorption of old securities by investors. it is said that the unsatisfactory appearance of affairs at Florence has led lately to sales of stock by Italian holders, especially in the Paris market, which is the less able to bear any sudden influx of stuck, on aooount of thu sensi tiveness felt there with regard to the political schemes attributed to the Emperor. Those capi talists in England and France who have supported the Italian government in its hour of need seem to be strongly of opinion that the time has arrived when a line ought to be drawn, and the constant deficits in the Italian budget ought once for all to cease, by means either of retrenchment of ex pendicture, remodelling of taxation, or both mea sures combined. The government of Queensland have appointed their late colonial secretary, Mr. R. G. W. Herbert, their financial agent in London, and have an nounced a further issue of their six per cent. loan to the extent of 550,0001. The debentures are to he issued in sums of 100/., 2501., and 5001., and bear interest from the Ist of January last. The minimum price is openly stated at 91/. Applica tions will be received till 1 o'clock on the 27th inst., and the tenders will bo opened at the Union Bank of Australia, in Old Broad-street, the bankers to the Queensland government. It is inti mated that the revenue of the colony for the current year is computed at 813,0001., and the expenditure at 680,0001. The first ordinary general meeting of the Impe rial Land Company of Marseilles (Limited) will be held on the 28th inst.

Amongst others, a considerable amount of securities of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway are to be offered without reserve, and in cluded in these are twenty-eight 1,000/. " share guaranteed debentures." With reference to these, the particulars given in the catalogue are as under : —" leaned July 2nd, 1866, redeemable at par in July, 1871, or at any time previous at flip option of the comp►ny. Interest 10 per cent., payable half-yearly as per coupons attached. 1001. per bond payable in July next." As most persons were unaware of the existence of such securities, it seems desirable that sonic official explanationshould be at once afforded by the railway company.
