MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. TIM RECTST TILTATRICAL SCIND.S.L. Mr. F. B. Lewis, addrtesitm the presiding judge, said : Allow me, my lad, to make an application in the matter of •gentleman of the name of Bateman, who is charged with memniting a lady named Bristow. The lady instituted there proceedings for the purpose of protecting her dsughter's character, sad after the apology the gentleman kiwi made in a letter I will read, I think you will hare no objection to granting the application that the recognisance.; be dis charged. The letter was ss follows : _ _ ______ . " August 20, 1864. "Madam—As my attentions and acts of friendship to your daughter have been so widely misrepresented to you sad so greatly misunderstood, I deem it but proper to assure you on the honour of a gentleman that as far as I am con cerned I have Dever acted in any other way than a gentleman should do. I declare solemnly that Do improprieties what ever have taken place, and I regret extremely that you should be under the contrary impression. I may also add that the sole reason of my meeting your daughter on the evening of the lit August was to dissuade 'her from ful filling her engagement at Paisley without your oonseut. " lam only too anxious to convince you that your ideas us erroneous, and I hope you will consider that I have done all in my power to do so, especially for the sake of the young lady herself. I have further testate that I regret to learn that you gill labour under the impression that I assaulted you. I eau quite understand bow, in the excitement of the moment, you may have so imagined. If, indeed, accidentally touched you, thus causing such erroneous impression, I an have no hesitation in expressing my regret that even that occurred. " H. L. BAITILIN. "Tn Mrs. Bristow." Mx. F. H. Lewis went on to state that after this, and the eath of her daughter art nothing improper had occurred between her and Mr. Bateman, she did not consider herself justified in further prosecuting the matter ; and it was only slue to Mr. Bateman to state that, reports being rife as to 4he matter being settled fora mosey consideration, be, on the pert of Mrs. Bristow, begged to give such reports the most positive denial. Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for Mr. Bateman, said that after the letter which had been read and Mr. Lewis's statement, he could have nothing to add, and should therefore apply to the court that Mr. Bateman be discharged from his recog nisance+. Ain Lordship said be mad nee no reason to the contrary. The recognisance' were accordingly discharged. And thus ended the Adelphi drama. Thomas Chit-V.11,39, was placed at the bar charged with stealing two silver waiters, 1 silver coffee-biggin, 1 silver teapot, 14 silver tablespoons, 24 silver forks, and other articles value 16W., the property of John Nelson, his matter, in hie dwelling-house. . . . . This . case caused a deal of excitement in court from the extraordinary and rather indecent behaviour of one of t►e wiissesse—Henry Hutchins, assistant to Mr. Day. pawn broker, of Oxfordetrtet. In cross-examination by the eounsel for the defence the witness behaved in a most un seemly manner. His lordship said that if be did not behave himself be should be compelled to commit him. The witness said he didn't care a— if he did. He would see him (his lordship) before he would bold his tongue. He must go home, and be did not care what they did with him. His Lordship told him to stand down. The ease was thee proved against the prisoner, who was sentenced to five years' penal servitude. His Lordship thee ordered the waxen to stand up, and amid to him, that with the concarreoce of the other magi.. Irides on the bench he should commit him to the House of Correction for costampt of court, where ha will probably re seals till the and of the sessions. The witoess again said he dial not care a —, sod pulled est some tobacco from his pocket and put a piece into his sea* and said he should like some dioner. Sleigh advised him to make ■o humble apolory to the court, which he relneed to do, with another oath. When eoeveyed down stain to the cells he assaulted Roberto, the gaoler._ Edwin Pryon, as assistant to Mr. Debris, pawnbroker, of Gilbert-street, Orford•sttest, was also dead up and measured by the court tor his babavioar ia the wibose•box. THE P - OLICE_ COURT& CU-REF-NI WELL. • - A gentleman attended this moruzig, and said that having seen ID the newspapers an application 1111111t1110 to Messrs. Wyche and Co., of No. 1, Camden.street, Islington-amen, who described themselves aa general business sod employ• meat agents, ha had to say that a friend of his had paid "the inn" 51., arid had received the name of the Rev. E. Gibbs, se the Royal Marine Library, Ryde, as being in want of a companioe. He wrote to that address, and receiving no answer he had written to the police of Ryde, and the answer he bad received was to the effect that no such person as he Rev. E. Gibbs lived at Hyde. The magistrate said he had no doubt that publicity would be given to the facts, aad tuns the matter terminated for tie present. E.. 1711 I NST'EE.. Abner Allen, a respectable looking young man,wu charged with robbing his employer. Mr. William Cordy. of 346, King's.road, Coolies, grocer, said that prisooer was porter in his service. One of the other man in Lis establishment having told prosecutor that prisoner was robbing him he determined to ascertain whe ther it was correct, and desiring the shopman to leave at eleven on Saturday night prosecutor watched prisoner, who wee left alone to the shop, from the polar window. Prisoner looked round, and boding himself able welt to nee of the tills and put his hand into it. When he left the till prosecutor opened the parlour door softly, and suddenly seizing the prisoner, found 134. in the hand he had just taken out of the till. Prisoner said he hoped his UM, Sef would forgive him and let him go. A poliosnian was waiting outside, and prisoner was given into his charge. Mr. Arnold—How long has he been in your service*: Prosecutor—A month. . _ Mr. Arnold—What wages had he! Prceecator—Five &hilltop pa week and his board and William Allen, TX A, said he was Galled in and took the prisoner in charge. He entreated the master to forgive him. Mr. Arnold (to pronecutor)—Did you have a character pith him? Prosecutor—Yea, • very good character. Hr. Arnold—You say one of your men told von that pri mer wee robbing you. What did be particularly ? Prosecutor—He told me he had seen :he prisoner go to the till two or three times, and that induced me to watch. The prisoner win remanded. THAMES. John Jacola, Patrick Barry, and Henry Barton, the eldest A the youngest 20, were charged with violently maultang a police-constable named Linton, 166 K The policeman, who was in great pain, and whose head wad face were bruised, aid that on Saturday night, at belt past twelve o'clock, two lads were fighting in the White 'impel-road, and upwards of 300 disorderly Arsons—who bed recently mute out of the neighbouring public-b 005.., beer-shop, and concert-rooms—were assembled near them. Be told the lads to desist, and parted them. Barry said they should have another rotted. He begged of him not to interfere. Barry said he would interfere, and punch his Leaf. At the same time Jacobs struck him a violent blow on the face, which caused bin nose and mouth to bleed. He collared Jacobs, and they lied a violent struggle. Both fell on the ground, and while they were rolling over each other Barry said, " Look at the murdering swine," and kicked biro twice on the hip. Jacob. called out, " Give it him," and he was severely kicked about the bead and body. Two gentlemen interfered sod kept the mob hack He asked Jacobs, who was on the grand, if he would be quiet if be allowed him to get up. Jacobs said, " No, I won't. I will kill you if I eau get et you." He was struck and kicked by several other s , an d should have been killed if other assistance bad not arrived. His hat was lost, and kicked about the streets- Henry Itosenburg, a clothier, stated that he saw Barton kick the constable when he was down, and told lim be should mark him. He pointed out the prisoner among the people collected outside the station-house, and he was cap tared. Mr. Paget said the police-constablea in his district had • deogerous and difficult duty to 'perform, sod moat be pro tected. The prisoners had committed a cowardly and wage result on the coostable, for which he aimateeced them Jobe prisosed for two mouths and kept to bard labour. The imatrimit of Rcesoburs was deearviog of great praise. He viMal all civilians would act the lame menus, when the police were ill•used. THE lIARVIIIT tf YoleialllMM—Acting on the plan of former years, we have been at sure pains to ob. Lin from our correspoedents in Yorkshire ratable report+ et the harvest prospects in their respective localities. With the exception of the root crone, which have suffered greatly from want of moisture, there seems to be so ground for despondency as regards our food primped.. Wheat appears to have =penally the merit of being of good quality, and though much lees abundaut than last year, the yield will in most cases not fell far, if anything, short of an averagn produce. The repot la of the barley and oat crops vary considerably. 0. dry lands especially both have been =favourably affected by the lot( drought, but on most soils they in man► cams look exceedingly well and prom= to yield • crop both excellent and abundant. In some donnas, however, oats will be only • moderate crop, sod short io the straw. In not • few instances turnips present • miserably thin and dwarfed appearance. The complaint against potatoes is chietly that of smallness, the result of a levig continuance of dry weather, by which the root crops generally have been situated and retarded in growth. The parched state of the ground has also been exceedingly detrimental to the growth of the after-grass Mace the bay harvest.—.,ends Idereary. ACcIDENT AT WOOLWICH AI:rENA4—A sLocking seeident occurred yeatarday to a youcg man named Knight, employed at the storekeeper's department of Woolwich Animal.

Ur Writ -] !e:7? 0,4 - • ' TEI RAMAN AND NORSIGN CORN lAA= nikestatioa, epee se eppertioniant ef say through rates Sxed by the Loads) Chatham, and Dover Company. The Midland Raihrey Company, who lied already 'Atoned permeates to make an in dependeet line into London, have also, during the last seesioe, seemed powers for effecting a Jason= at Kfr g ererar with these additional lines, and these a sway nano to believe that that important com pany will. upoe the completion of these railways, be ready so avail th emselves el the access to the dietricts south of th e Thames which the Loodoo. Chatham, _ and Dover link between King's-cross and Earl-street will afford. The di rectors feel that they con safely predict a very peat admin. tags to the interests of every den at proprietors in metropolitan eatenions, and in the general from the results of this application to par li amm u Z ier = the importance of this small lengthof railway, in its relation to the London, Chatham, and Dover system, can scared y be overrated, and in the opinion of the directors fully justifies them in having persisted in ita construc tion, tot withetanding the mug obstacles raised and the greet expenditure necessarily involved in the none of a railway through the heart of London. Parliament has also authorised the construction of a short line from the neighbourhood of the Stewart's.lane station, near the company a new works at Battersea, to the South Western Company's lines at Clapham Junction. This line will be made at the joint exposes of the Chatham and Dover and South Western Companies; and the Chatham and Dover having acquired the power at running into sod making use of the Clapham Junction stationorill be enabled to afford to the public easy and direct communication between all places on the system of the company and plans on the South Western lies, such as Kew, Richmond, Windsor, Southampton, frt. An agreement entered into with the South Eastern Company, under which powers were granted to that company to run to the Crystal Palace, in exchange for powers given to the Loader), Chatham, sad Dover Railway to run over the North Kent line to the favourite districts shout Blarktu.h, Lee, Lewisham Charlton, and Woolwich, has been coo. ' firmed by parliament, and the company have been authorised to confront the necessary junction for giving mutual anus for the purposes of this agreement. These are the chief matters of legislation in which the company have been directly interested. With respect to the various schemes for metropolitan communication, the directors are happy to ny that parliament has sanctioned certain extension of the Metropolitan Railway, u well as the project known sa the Metropolitan District Railway. This latter will run from the termination of the Metropolitan Railway in the neigh bourhood of Kensington, and will in its course pais near ti to the Victoria nation and under the company 's line at Earbstreet. At the instance of the directors classes were I inserted in the act under which the Metropolitan District Company are bound to provide, both at Victoria and Earl. street, suitable excbange stations, for sublime panniers to pass conveniently between that railway and the Landon, Cliatleun, and Dover Railway ; and the directors anticipate peat mutual advantage from the facilities which will thus he afforded to the public in getting to and from Victoria j and Blackfriare. A project called "The East London Railway," which had for its object the construction of a railway at two lion Daly, to connect, by mean' of the Thames Tunnel, the railways south of the Thames with the Great Eastern and Finsbury lines, was opposed by the company in parliament, and the directors are glad to say that the opposition offered by themselves, in conjunction with other interests, secured it rejection. Al though brought forward as an independent line, it had practic ally passed into the hands of the London and Brighton, and London and North Western Companies; and if sanctioned in the form in which it was presented to parliament, would have had the effect of handing over to those two companies the absolute control of all the traffic, between the outer circle of lines south of the Thames and the Eastern part of London. The directors consider that as the lines of the London, Chatham and Dover Company form a most im portant link in this communication, it would have teen as inimical to the interests of the com pany and of the public as contrary to the recom mendation and spirit of the report of the special committee of parliament appointed to consider the metropolitan schemes, to have allowed sun powers to be vested in those companies. The safety and convenience of the public, and she interests of all parties, require that any line between the railways sorth and south of the Thames at the east end of London should he designed on an adequate scale, and should be available upon fair end proper terms to all the parties interested in the circle of railings south of the river. Reports of the engineers in reference to the pro. grew of the work, authorised and under construc tion are annexed. The directors feel satisfied that everything is being done to sawn their earliest possible eompletion. The works between Earl-street and the Me tropolitan station are already in a vary advanced state, so as to justify the hope that the traffic may be carried on to the new station at the bottom of Ludgate-hill before the end of the year, and to the Metropolitas Railway early in next London s rThe works on the Greenwich Extension and South lines are also well in hand. The South London and Crystal Palace Railway is making rapid program, and there is every indication that the time fixed by the directors of that company for the opening of the line to the Crystal Palace in May next will not be exceeded. (From the Merit Lau Izvreth) The continuance of fine weather for another Week (Satur day escaped) has permitted the gathering of an immense =oat el areas, in the finest pomade coaditem. • *.rod It would seem that in point of quality there will be no falling off from the meat favourable sewn. Indeed, the rued weight of the samples ban exeseded eakalation, thus proving that when the frost took the wheat is bloom, the blight on the ears was surly thtel. The yield, however, remains yet in abeyance. Bat the inference suggested by the superiority of the grain is mare favourable than the first estimate. Hitherto supplies have been but small, there being no in ducemsokin prices to hurry up the produce. In tact, the drought We made such havoc with tongs, and so sent up the value of cattle-feed, that farmers may prefer feeding their cattle with corn to making • greater 1111131i6Ce. Rates have therefore bet little clanged. The starting price of new wheat, u is usual, has not been maintained, and old bee somewhat receded lovable. But at the close of the week more coofidence in prices was exhibited, and unless farmers change their minds and ovet power the markets, we may seesoine rally, and that shortly. In FllllOll the harvest has been preluding apace, and but • 1.31121 portion comparatively remains to be gathered. The quality and yield on the whole seem better than expected. la Germany they have bad some quantity of rain, which, in certain places, has caused fears for the gatherings ; but the rye slowed is well spoken of, both u to quality and quantity. Spain anthem to suffer from drought, which boa newly emptied the canals and stopped the manufacture of flow. The same sultry weather bas ruled in America, and though the quality of the wheat havested there has turned out fine, • large deficiency is expected. Prices generally have undergone but little change. The arrivals off the coast since the 12th inst. were 93 of which 21 canoes were wheat, 59 make, and 11 arguer, Business transpned at the following rates : ; Markeopoli wheat to 39e, lid. ; Berdneaki, 40s- ; Chinks to 375. and 39a. ; ember Amerman, 40s. 6d.: make to 275. 3d. and 295. 6d. ; barley to 22a. 6d. and 2k. I id. per qr. The Wee of English wheat noted last week were 93,411 ; we. at 435. 6d., against 65,189 qn. in 1863. The London avenue were 44a. Ild. on 1,807 qrs. The imports into the Eisgdom for the week eating 13th August were 118.537 qrs. wheakaod 62,fift7 cwts. flour. For the mouth of July they were 578,118 qn. wheat, and 315,931 cots. flour. Monday in Mark-lane commenced on • small English and ; good foreign wheat supply. Not many fresh samples were sent up from the near counties during the tool uiog ; bet more than enough for the demand. It war principally new, of fair quality, and sales ;of such wcgreesed slowly at a reduction of about 2s. per quarter. bite old was again la. per quarter cheaper to sell. Very little was doing in forego, and that little was at en equal decline upon old English. With 'amerces arrivals on the coast, sales were slow, at rather kw money. On Wednesday there were 250 quarters per coast, and 3,750 _quarters foreign. The samples of Eng li sh, both new and old, went off quietly at the prices of the previous day, the demand being chiefly for the former. The foreign trade remained limited for all descriptions without variation in prices. Enday's returns were 660 qt;arters coastwise, and 3,750 quartets Less war then o ff ering than on the previous market day, and business was more easily transacted, with more coefi dance in prices. The foreign trade was slow for parcels arrived and in granary ; out there was • large trade in float ing cargoes, at some reduction. The arrivals of country flour on Monday were below the average, and there wan but • moderate supply of American barrels. The trade was partly is sympathy with wheat, and sales wen slow at former figures. Barrels were only in moderate request at unaltered rates, and the quotation of town-made first quality still stood at 40s. per sack. Oa Wednesday them was but little per coast ; but 3,840 barrels foreign. Trade I. country sane wag steady, without varia tion in values ; and it was the same with American barrels and other foreign. Friday's returns were 450 sacks coast win, and 3,840 barrels foreign. Little was dointk i tt , prices were maintained both f o r cou n t r y make and extra States bein g held at 225. per barrel. The supply of barley on Monday with very small, both British and foreian. A few more good new samples of Eoglish appear 4 but usiltaters seemed little disposed to purchase at the prime asked—so that quotation@ were but oominal. The value of the beat heavy foreign was. how ever, rather lowered, and th e sake of grinding were but on • moderate scale. On Wednesday there were so arrival per coast, and 2,390 gra. foreign. The trade was then on • small scale for alkalis, and the tendency of the prices of medium and grinding foreign wee rather down than other wise. Friday's returns were nothing coastwise, sod 2,960 qrs. foreign. No change could then be soled, there not being enough English on show to make a market. Grinding foreign ruled at from 23e. to 244. 6d. per qr. The malt trade was less active than of Lite for the best qualities ; but prices remained mush the same. The week throughout was dull, and rates for anything but fine barley mistimed. There was a very heavy supply of Russian oate--eity about 50,000 qrs. ; but in other descriptions there was no excess. Raman descriptions, when out of order, very light, or duty, were about 6d. per. qr. lower ; but the best heave qualities were little altered in value, u was the cue with other foreign, or of home-growth. The arrivals on Wednesday were 60 qrs. per coast., 1,400 qrs. Irish, and 17,460qr5. fogyism. With this good foreign arrival, there wu still a fair business in Russian sorts without any dimi nution in prices. On Friday there were 60 qrs. coutwiso, 1,400 qrs. Irish, and 39,570 qrs. foreign. The demand was still good notwithstanding the supply, and prices of all sorts were fully maintained. The Bean supply was very small, and nearly all of home. growth. The upward tendency was checked by the very low price of oats and other gram. No subsequent change could be noted. CETerAL PALACE AND SOUTH LONDO?i JUNCTION RAILWAT.—The directors of this company, in their report, congratulate the shareholder, on the rapid progress which had been made in the constructioo of the works during the put ball-year. The contractors were now in possession of the whole of the land required, and the directors had no doubt that the line would be opened for traffic' in the spring of next veer. The report of Mr. Turner, the engineer, stated that the station works bad been commenced, and were now in active operation, especially at the Crystal Niece, where, on sooount of their extent and the time necessarily occupied in their erection, no opportunity had been BM of pushing them forward with the view to the early opening of the line. The capital account showed that 719,4891. bad bees expended, leaving a balance of 1,0511. NORTH AND SOUTH WESTERN JUNCTION RAIL NAT.—Thwart of the directors showed the result of the past half -c a working to be • net balsam to the credit of revenue of 3,7671., being an Increase of 1,111/. as soap pared with the correspooding period of the previous year. The disposable bilance, after payment of debenture interest, is 3,224/. 13s. 7d. from which your directors recommend that the sum of &a be placed to the credit of normal fried, and that from the remaining sum of 2,6 W. a divi dend be declared on the entire share capital of the nom ppoy, at the rate of six per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of t... 11. 18s. sd. to be carried forward to the cur rent half-year. The bill promoted by this company is the last session of parliament has, as regards powers for the parttime of additional lairds and the creation of farther share capital to the extent of 10,0001., received the royal assent ; but as respects the proposed extension litre to Richmond, a preference was given to a competing lies, promoted by the London and South Western Company, a right of user on satisfactory terms being, however, secured to this company. A resolution will be submitted to the proprietors to mention the creation of the additional capital above referred to, by the Mae of new shares, which will, in the first instance, be offered pro rata to the holders of other stock of the company. BLTTH AND TYNE RAILWAY.—The report of the directors states that the company had participated in the pre vailing prosperity of the district, sad the increased revenue would secure the mime dividend as heretofore, although they had a large amount of additional capital upon which to pay in tereetaad dividends that had not yet become productive. Since the opening of the line into Newcastle on the 27th of Jam the traffic had been very satisfactory, cad this portico of the line had every appearance of being highly pr uctive. The act extending the time for the construction of the company's works was passed without opposition. The directors had always considered the construction of deep -water docks at the month of the 'ryas us of great importance to the com pany, and they were glad there was 0011•Varj incepted of that work being accomplished. le order to commence the undertaking it would ta necessary that the company should mite with other public bodies in providing a guarantee, to a limited extent, for the payment of the interest on the capital to be expended on the docks. The directors nom mended the company to guarantee' the interest on 50,003/. of the required capital. The gross revenue of the company for the half- ea z was 48,0141. ; and the expenditure, in cluding way leaves and interest on debentures, 30,1511. ; leaving a balance of 17.8621. applicable to dividends, out of which the director recommend the payment of dividends on the 10 par cent. preference stock, and on the per cent. preference stock, aced at the tote of frt per cent. per annum on the ordinary stock and shares of the company. BRECON AND MERTHYR Tt DYIL JCIriTION NAlL war.—The report of the directors states that the earnings on the line were highly satisfactory. Owing to proceedings is Chancery by certain landowner the junction of the shorthorn with the southern maim of the company's Bees had not yet been effected, although the proceedings had beea successfully tertniosted. Contrary to the expectation of the board, the Mid Wales Railway, connecting the com pany's line with the Hereford, Hay, and Brecon Railway, though apparently complete, and worked over by mistral trains, had not yet leen opened, but the usual notice to the Board of Trade having been given, it was expected that it would be opened in the course of next month. The direct/es expressed satisfaction at the result of their labours in the late session. The trains might DOW run through from the \'ale of Neath Railway at Aberdare to Newport. and by the ooestruction of but a few miles of railway, and with a comparatively trifling increase of capital, they would shortly be able to pass to the docks at Cardiff, thus ambling them to carry the steam coal from the Aberdare district to those ports and elsewhere oo economical term,. The capital account of the general undertaking Mewed that 375,572/. had been expended, leaving a Warms of 2,4871., I and of the separate undertaking to 102,6501., haviag a Mimics of 95. W. The supply of English peas on Monday was improved ; but there were no foreign. The prices of all sort, were sup ported ; but they were not much in demand. No change in business tom( place on Friday. There was very little linseed reported, and prices were very firm, the demacd for cakes being very bnsk. But little was pulling in seeds generally, yet holders ware firm for cloveneed, trefoil, and iodeed all kinds of agricultural produce. For new winter tares 12s. per bushel was asked. The rePorts of the country markets differed very little from those of the previous week ; indeed, in edge places there was a fair trade at fully aa much money. This was the case at Stamford, Newcasile-on-Tyne, Birmingham, aid Hell. Bat some markets gave way la : per qr., as Glou cester, Bristol, Newmarket, and ßteektoe ; while at Ro chester the downward movement was Is. to 3. Liverpool was rather cheaper oa Tuesday. Spring COlll generally was much as during lest week. At Edinburgh wheat and oats were rather cheaper, barley being bnak, and been, firm. No change in wheat was Doted is Glasgow ; but barley and white peas were up 6d. pee The want of water at Dublin 'till 'topped business in wheat and maize. Some new earn appeared, in bee con dition. The Paris dour trade has been dull through the week, sad closed If. par 157 kilos-say Bd. per 28011 n. cheaper. The rams of prices was 49f. to 51f. per 157 kilo. (29.. 6d. to 32e. lid. per 2801bs.)for the Met qualities. The six marks, alter selling at fitlf., finally closed at 49f. 75c. per 157 like. (31.. 10d. per 2801 be.) for the current =oath ; for the lest four mouths they were quoted 51f. (325. Bd. per 2801 he.) for four months from January ..it 53f. (ray 345. per Mho), and type-Paris, for August. 30f. 51.10. per 11.10 kilos. (Ms. 6d. per 280 Its.) The sale .1 wheat has bees very limited ; farmers have preferred taking beck their samples to accept * the low prices bid. The decline for the week is fully 500. per 120 kilos. (94. per qr.); but at this reduction tales were little more thee nominal-say 27f. to 30f. per 130 kilos (41s. tid. to 45e. 9d. pr qr.)

The wheat trade in the country bed generally decheed 50c. per becto., or is. 3d. per qr. ; but it Galindo° it was double as much. Bordeaux and Marseilles, without quoting a lower range of prices, were very calm. Is Belgium, markets were either quiet or somewhat lower. Antwerp made no difference is price, though the imports were much increased. Liege was down about 7d. per qr. on wheat and rye. At Maestriclit there wee little armee, but the new wheat was he'd as of lees value has the old, Dew being as high es 433., old 445.

Wooccoires in the chair. The retort, of which the following is an abstract, Wag adopted. The dilution had determined, under the advice of loan eel, to traufer from the revenue account to the capital ac count the sum of 12,6191., the amount of interest which had been, under roiseperehensioe, debited to revenue daring previous pen ; and to transfer the sum of 2,5121., received for premiums paid to the company on shares lined, which bad been placed to the credit of capital instead of revenue. Those correction reduced the deficiesey Oa revesuaccount to the 31st of December bud, from 50,7161. to 35,5841. The total amount of the general working expenses during the half-year wee 24,993/., being 5, 36 91. increase on the torrespooding half of 1863; but the traffic receipts were 44,0041., sod the increase over the correspond • ing half of 1863 had been 8,9721. That. had been con sequently an inmost' in the net receipts of 3,6021. The earnings per nine had been at the rate of 672/., as cora -1 ured with 632/. dories the corresponding half of 1£11F3.. Under the advice of counsel, and after full consideration b y all potties, it bed been speed that the 90 00 01. advanced I by the associated companies—the corrected deficiency of 35,565/. to the 31st of December, and a further aim of 24,0151. to rout future contingencies, making together 149,6001 advanced by and due to the associated companies, should be secured by the name of the 7,480 Biz per Coot. Preference shares created an the 28th of February, 1861, and those shares had been accordingly boned to the respective companies. The china clay works in the vicinity of the line had furnished an increasing traffic between Burngallow and Par during the past half-year, and 40020 quantities of china clay had been coaveyed to the Falmouth docks for shipment. All assurance had been received from the West Cornwall Board that they had already commenced taking steps to fulfil their parliamentary obligations to lay down the broad gauge, and thus to remedy the great inconveni• ence of a break of gauge at Truro. The capital account showed that 1,747,5751. had been expended. Mr. P. P. %writ, the solicitor, explained the financial arrangements which it war proposed to carry into effect. In addition to the 650,0001. worth of preference shares which had been guaranteed by the emaciated companies—the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and South Devon—the Canaan Company had power to raise 149,6001. worth of 6 per cent. preference shares, uoguaranteed. It bad been found, however, that, while the guaranteed shares were eagerly taken up, the unguaranteed 6 per erste. wen not marketable. To relieve the Cornwall Company from their difficulties the associated companies agreed to advance 90,0001. upon the hypothecation of these shares. They also advanced 35,5841. to pay off the deficiency which had arises as the revenue account up to the 31st of Dumber last. These two sums, with an additional amount of 24,0154 for the future requirements of the company. made up the 149,000/. which it was now proposed should be guaranteed by the associated companies, at the rate of 41 per out. per annum. With reference to the 400,0001. wmth of guaranteed perpetual shares issued fora period of seven years, the term would shortly expire, and it was proposed to create new stock or shares to the like amount, to be also (manatee(' by the associated companies. The effect of the whole of the financial arrangements would be that they should be able to convert the 149,0001. worth of 6 percent. unguaranteed pre ference shares into 4i per out. guaranteed, the 82,90401. 5 per cents. into 41 per cents., and to reduce the 400,0001.5 per outs. to 41 per cents. ' Resolutions were unanimooolv passed enabling the direc tors to issue the shares above referred to under the guaran• We of the associated companies, an arrangement which the Chairman maid would reduce the interest payable by the Cornwall Company about 2,0001. per annum. LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER. The directors' report to the meeting on Friday states that the gross receipt" upon the general undertaking for the last half year have been 125,2071. lon. 2d. The gross receipts for the corresponding periods of 1662 and 1863 were 56.5211. 10e. and 82,318/. 3e. lid. respectively. Although in each of these periods the number of Mike of the general undertaking opened for traffic has been the mate (72j), the receipt. of the last half-year show a total in ertial. of 52 per cent. over those of 1863, sod of 121 per rot. over those of 1862. The gross receipts moo the Metropolitan Extension for the last half-year have been 31,3561. Is. 5d., and for the correepoeding period of 1863 were 10,106/. 4.. 11d. The receipts of the List half year show an increase of 210 per cwt. over those of 1863. During five months of the last half-year the line was open from Beckenham to Herne-hill, and from Berne bill up to Victoria, and to Elephant and Castle ; and in June, to Blackfriarahridge ; whilst for the corresponding period of 1863, the line was only open from Herne-hill to Victoria, and Herne-bill to Elephant and Cutts • the line between Hence-hill sad Beckenham not laving bees opined until the let July, 1863. The working expenses of the last half-year have ananuoted to 100,2171. 9a lld.. in cum prison with 81,1101. Itia 10d. in the !iorreepoeding half year of 1863 ; and with 54,3381. OP. lid . in the cormspooding half -year of 1862. The increase in the aggregate amount of working expenses ta attributable to several canoes the mileage maintained at the tort of revenue in the put half- year has exceeded by 111# miles that of the corresponding period of 1863 ; and the establishments at Penge, Sydee bam-bill, Dulwich, Borough-mad, and Blackfriars etatioes, sone of which were copse in the corresponding half-year in 18e3, have also materially increased the expenditure. Be sides this, the director", acting upon the suggestion of the auditors, and having instituted a careful inquiry into the question of the renewal of the permanent way, have deter mined to charge revenue with an adequate amount under thiy bead in each half-year ; and the amount expended on this account in new rads and sleepers, arid charged to nitres during the put half-year, has beset 2,3491. 12s. 4.1, The directors have tertian considered it to be their duty to spare no expire in bringing up to, Red maintaining the line and stock in the highest possible state of effi ciency, and they believe the proprietors will tally agree with them is the wisdom of this policy. In explanation of the apparently high percentage of work ing expenses to receipts, it is necessary to remark that it includes there's working "sperm net aloe. of the ger ral undertakieg:Mit alai of the Metropolitan Exterien, end the different branch railways worked by the company ; and that it ii brought into comparison with that portion only of the pais receipts which is applicable to the general nader taking, after the amours payable to the Metropolitan Ex. Mission end the various branch lire have been •pportiosed to them in accordance with the working Kree1134.12111. If the gross working expenses are compared with the gross receipts of all the lines worked at that cost, the compari sea is by no means so unfavourable. These receipt. haying, in the last half -year, amounted to 156 127/. Is. fkl., it fellows that the actual per outage of expenditure to receipt has been 64 per cent. The directors having given much attentive to this subject, are Wired that Dever again can the comparison of the working expenses to the receipts of the general undertaking show so unfit , yourable a result. They ground this opinion upon the con viction that the traffic upon all the lines worked by the company, and more particularly upon the Metropolitan Extension and the Kent Coast Railway., has been hitherto only partially developed, and that a considerable and cou• suet yearly increase. both is the local and through traffic of those line., rosy be eoefidently anticipated. The proprietors will have already heard of the orioles of the Rae from the Elephant and Castle to the new station at the south side of B'ackfriars-bridge, which took Place on the let June last. That opening was immediately followed by a very large OCCell6oo of traffic, both upon the Metropo litan Examinee lire sad upon the lines of the general un dertaking. Notwithstanding the drawbacks always attend ant upon the oommencement of business at an important metropolitan audio') before all the necessary works and arrangements have been entirely completed, it is manifest from the results that the public have very much appreciated the additional ooneenience offered to them by this exten sion. The number of passeogers passing in and out of the Blackfriars station (exclusive of season ticket holders) since its opening has averaged considerably over 60,000 per week ; and it is a very significant fact that the amber of passengers who have, during the same period, paned in and out of the Elephant and Castle statioc, has fallen off in a very unimportant degree as mannered with the time when it was the terminus of the line nearest to the City. There can be no doubt that upon the further epaulet of the line to Ludgate-hill, which may be expected to Ulm place not later than the end of the year, a like result will follow, and a still further development of the company's traffic will be expefteoorl. The works respected with the goods station at Blackfriars, although being premed forward as much as possible, are not yet sufficiently advanced to enable the directors to make use of that station for goods business. It u fully hoped that as soon as they are able to dose, the exceedingly convenient politica and the ample emommodatioe provided will lead to a marked improvement in the goods traffic. The great num ber of .cliemes brought forward in the last session of perils meet for furnishing metropolitan communication have been a source of considerable anxiety to the directors, who have devoted their best energies to the careful coneideration end watching of there schemes, with the view of securing and protecting the compaai'm interests. The haft promoted by the company themselves were only those absolutely rose eery to carry out and perfect the [invent system of the Cbetbare and Dover Railway. in accordance with agreements with other companies ; sad the directory have the gratifica• tins of announcing to the proprietors that their applicatioes to parliament for these neesseary powers have, notwith ✓eeding serious opposition, been most encosesful. The fuel in importer. is the act empowering the construction as a separate undertaking of the altered link bee between Earl street and West-attest, which is to connect the lire of the company with the Metropolitan (Underground), Great Northern, and Midland Railway.. This eat has confirmed the agreement under which the Great Northern Carole have subscribed 300 0[0/. at 3i per rot. towards the capital of the link line, se well as the arrangements for through booking and interchange of traffic between the two comprise It has also secured to the company the gratuitous use of the passenger statics and conve niences of the Great Northern Company at King's-crass. A further satisfactory result of this applicatio• to parlia ment has been the sanction obtained for facilities mid hater change of traffic between the Metropolitan (Thidergered) Railway sod this °emery. Under theee arrangements the Metropolitan Company bane Rodertaken to construct two additions! lines of railway between their juactioe with the Louden, Chatham. end Dover lime atWeetotrest and Kiwis- Irma station, and bane ceded to this oreepsay the right el THE SCOTCH CORN suns. Another week of choice weather has enabled firmer' in the earlier &stride of Sootland to make • favourable commencement of the harvest ; sad a number of barley fields are now in stook, sad give fair promise of • good result both as to yield and quality. Some portion of the new crop will be brought to market this week ; but it is as yet too early for any large quantity to be offered, and little can therefore be yet said with certainty &bent the quality or the probable production. A few fields of wheat have be= cut in the Lothnoa. These look thin, but the bead is mid to be large, and the grain plump and well coloured. As the harvest advances, the impression cos tumes to deepen that the crop as • whole will not be bulky, and will not be even up to an averse in bolls, though, if the season continue dry little grain will be lost; and though the quality will often prove unequal and variable, it will be available for consumptive purposes. The wheat and barley of the new crop brought forward at the leading English markets exhibit considerable variety. The large proportion of Essex and Kent samples is fine, and shows ninny fine panels of red and white wheats, ranging from 621 b. to 6Mb.per bushel ; but the Suffolk, Cambridge shire, Norfolk, and Lincolnshire samples give indications of much greater variety and • nuns of weights from 581 b. up to 651 b. per buaheL Barley is also in these counties in con siderable variety. Many choice rune are exhibited from the Lilo of Thanes and the favoured districts to the south of and round about London, but in the great barley growing county of Norfolk this crop a very unequal. Much of it is:really of fine colour and heavy weight, but there is also • good deal thin, steely, rather wane, sod not very suitable for brewers' cur. poses. The oat crop seems by genets! admission to be , short and thin in almost all diaoricts of the country. Lincolnshire is the only place where it is well spoken of ; but the quantity raised in England is small as compared with the Scotch production, which latter is this year certain to be coneiderably under the usual average, and ceetaisly very greatly under the yield of last year's crop. Beans and peas seem generally pretty well reported of, though the dry weather has very much affected them in some of the English counties. Turnips than are generally a very poor crop; bat in Scotland they now look well, and with little more rain would prove • fine crop. The early potatoes eat well, and as yet very little dream* is observable ; but the yield is very chiaPPotratott. and the bolls per acre will be much short of former years. The favourable harvest time has • deprasieg influence on the grain trade, sod business in wheat is almost at • standstill. Buyers seem very reluctant to come forward, and only take off as much as satisfies their immediate requirements. Prises are again the turn lower, and factors have bees com pelled, whoa they have had to sell ex ship or sheds, to lower their rates about la. per quarter. Generally, however, there is sot much grain pressed cm the market. Holders seem still &simile to wait for • better opportunity, and very little of the wheat in loft is therefore as yet offered for isle. Barley is still Deeded ; and as little can be bad for grinding or distilling purposes, the prices of last week are wall supported. Oats are dull, and rather difficult to quit, except for the Inset qualities of Scotch, which sell noddy enough at former rates. White pesos and bras are still in fair demand at full rates, but the upward tea. decry of these articles seems checked. The arrivals at the leading peeta of the country this week are only moderato. At London they amount to 7..!6,606 qrs. wheat, 1,706 qrs. barley, 77,2110 qn tota l and 7,866 barrels and 50 sacks flour ; at Liverpool, to 17, 794 qrs. wheat, 6,134 qrs. Indira con, and 1,360 sacks and 3,763 barrels flour ; at Leith, to 2,351 gra wheat, 29 qrs. barley, 2,507 qrs. eats, 824 qrs. beans, 277 tin pease, bed 2,544 sacks and 3 barrels flour. The Trench crops are now said to be somewhat disappoint ing, and seem to have suffered considerably by excessive drought. The yield, it is acid, will be under the estimate formerly made, ad will certaiely be under an average ; but the principal objection now made is as to quality, which, for all kinds of grain, will be much inferior to the crop of 1863. The wheat—indeed, all the cereals—bas ripened too rapidly, and there has besides been such a want of sunshine as to affect the colour and smoothness of the wheat and barley crops especially, which often show • rough, dry, and steely sample. In the Baltic provisoes the complaint within the past weak is of wet and somewhat boisterous weather; and accounts from Dantsic, Konigsberg, and Stettin state that the bad weather is seriously interfering with harvest operations, and is likely, unless • change to better weather come quickly, to do severe damage to all the cropa—Crortish Farmer.

Wind NICE Thermometer 72 degs. Barometer azo in. Tuesday was • dull day, bus it held up fair, and our advioes oo that day ware, from the Fast Riding of York shire, running thus :—" Weather continues as favourable*, possible for harvest, and tatting is going on in all dim. tams in good earnest. Seldom or ever was • finer seems experiment for the ing•thering of the crops, and in the southern counties • good portion in already housed." From the West Biding of the tame county it was re marked—" We have to report, a continuance of dry warm weather, and the cutting of grain is proceeding well ; bet little yet carried. Wheat and i barley are well spoken of as to samples of weight; but the barley would be better no doubt for a few Me showers. Potatoes are advancing in per, and many mall are found this year. Turnip, and =mel ee:ma are still drooping for want of rain. A great deal of wheat will be carted m the DODCWiIIf districts before the end of the week, if the weather continues fine." From Nor folk the manse day it was stated :—"The weather continues brilliant, and hornet work is rapidly proceeding. The root crops are suffering severely from want of moisture." From Suffolk it was stated : •' We have a menet:moos of warm, dry weather ; and harvest operations are progressing rapidly." From Lincolnshire it was remarked —" The weather during the pest week has hem all that could be desired for harvest operations, and great progress has been made in these districts." From Lancashire it was stated Harvest work is now pretty general in West Lancashire. The= though somewhat partial, have assumed • rich arid x livery, generally associated with the idea of abundance. Barley and oats protons large yields. Yr heat by no unease equal to last year, but rather fair ; cutting and carting is the order of the day, very little field room being neemary. Potatoes are abundant, aud of excellent quality. Turnips, other roots, and pastures are failures for want of Mill. olhr i Wednesday it was rather cooler, bet eo rain, sod harvest work was being pushed on most vigorously." From Nottinghamshire the advises were A considemble I quantity of grain has been eut and carried since ' last week. As regards the wheat crop the mounts vary; in some places it is pretty good, while in others there will be a deficiency. Barley looks well, but the grain would be benefited by a few genial showery Oats are • light crop ; beans vary ; pastures and root crops are in • very poor state." From Suffolk on Thursday, near the coast they were : " The weather commies hot and parchieg, but with very cold nights ; the glass falls a little, and shook the wet of Northern Europe be travelling to oa, those who secured their crops during a dry and warm atmosphere will Dot repent. Harvest is fast progressing around us ; ott the early leads the wheat is all secured, sad • portion of the barley. The quality of the new wheat does not improve in estimatioe, sad, with some eseeptious, is far inferior to last year." More inland in the same county it was remarked : " Availing themselves of captioned fine weather, farmers are pushing on with harvest work, and bring very little genie I. market. A large breadth of wheat has been secured, sedate* barley. Samples of both mops are exhibited, quality ranging from very One tornadoes*. Repartee( yield ominous tong." Friday wan a dry day, and much awn was secured—wind, ; thermometer, 64 deg. ; barometer falling steadily down to 29.60 in., threatening a change.

Today is dull, and • speedy change is indicated. A good deal has Wes done is reaping and carrying daring the week. Some samples of new Yorkshire barley were shown, quality rather hard and steely."

Spinners are not reosiving fresh orders, and where contracts expire easier rates may be obtained. This, bow. ever, refers more particularly to single yarns. The piece trade is beginning to show symptoms of greater flatness than has hitherto been reported.
