There was once a court known as the Court for the relict of Insolvent Debtors, and he thought the powers of that court were vested in this, but if such a plan was carried out as now sought, it would soon become a tribunal for the release of the rich debtor and not the poor one.

The Commissioner said the debt of Offord must be more satisfactorily explained, and the examination adjourned. Mr. Aldridge, the crown solicitor, 'concurred in an ad journment, which was ordered accordingly. THE POLICE coma. ciiJA,birALL Henry Mars, alias Edward Henry Doris, alias J. B. Ward, alias Wed mid Co., a respectable-looking young man, who had bees brought from Hull on a warrant by Baker, the detective officer, was charged before Alderman Final with obtaining goods by fraud of various wholesale balsas in Loodoo and the country by simulatiog the names of respectable and wall known retail firma. Mr. Warrand conducted the prosecution. Edward Tompkins, managing clerk to Mr. Frederick Goodyear, of Si. Purs-churchyard, stated that on th e 3rd of August en order was received by post, purporting to come from E. H. Davie sod Co., of 76, Great Thornton street, Hall. They had a customer, • very respectable firm, of that name in Hull, but the address ant being the same, suspicions were aroused and measures taken to de tect the fraud. The order was for two dozen ostrich feathers, but only a part of the order was executed. Charles Baker, • city detective °Moir, said he saw the ostrich feathers packed and delivered at the booking-office for transmission to Hull on Thursday last, and he then pro ceeded to Hull by the mail train to await the arrival of the goods train on the following day. He accordingly watched the delivery of the parcel at the railway station to the carrier named in the order, and accompanied him to Market street, Hull, where the firm of E. Dann and Co. carry on business. The carrier's cart stopped in front of their shop, and, at the same moment, the prisoner came forward as though he had just come out of the shop, and asked the car man if he had • parcel for him. The carrier gave him the parcel containing the ostrich feathers, and the prisoner signed the wbill, and as be was going away with the goo ds he tore the address off. Baker followed and took him into custody for obtaining goods under false pretences. The prisoner said "be could not see that," meaning that the acts alleged him did not amount to • criminal offence. On ssarohing the prisoner be found on him two writs in the name of J. B. Ward, issued at the suit of City firms against the prisoner while be was following the same line of business at Boston, Lincolnshire. He also found in his possession a letter addressed to Mr. Goodyear, containing • further order for twelve dozen straw bonnets ; also three pocketbooks, one of which con tained the names of about twenty different wholesale firma in London, to whom the prisoner bad applied for goods under some one or other of his numerous aliases. The rune book also contaioed the names of a number of firms in different parts of the country and lists of goods ordered, or to be otderd , of almostevery description of manufacture, Baker accompanied the prisoner to Boston, where he was identified u the same person who had carried on business there twelve months ago in the name of Ward, bat his right name was Hicksn, and wittier had ascertained that be was the son of a highly-respectable lace manufacturer of Notting ham. The superintendent of police, ;who, with the whole of the authorities, had rendered Baker the greatest possible assistance throughout, informed him that no leis than from fortytlf2 inquiries had been made of the police at Hull with to the prisoner, who admitted that he sent the first orde r, and that his wife wrote the second. Mr. Warrand bare applied for a remand, and said that although the amount is this case was small, he should, as soon IPA it was publicly known that the prisoner was in custody, be prepared with • host of other charges, from which he proposed selecting three or four of the clearest upon which to prosecute the prisoner. Alderman Finnis remanded the prisoner until Thursday next. the building, and the drop is at the south-west end. On the west side it is obscured from view by the high boundary walls, nor can it be seen on the north aide of the gaol, but on the south and cost the view of the drop is uninterrupted. The condemned convict strenuously denies that he had anything to do with participating in the murder of Mary *hits, at Bucklaud Monnehorum, in October, 11352, and as he is now but 28 years of ego, there does not seem to be much foundation for the rumour which baa been for some weeks in circulation, to the effect that Corbel. and this man were accomplices in that murder, for he could then have been but 18 years of age. The last days which Doidge will spend on earth are disturbed as little as possible, and with the exception of those no maims when he receives the ministration of the chaplain, the Rev. W. Everest, be is left for the most part to the gloomy companionship of his own thoughts. As • very alight footfall ran be beard in the corridors of the build ing, no prisoners are allowed in that part of the gaol where the wretched man is confined. The execution is to take place on Monday next at noon.—Weatern Morning Neva. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. NORTH LONDON. Yesterday, the half-yearly meeting of the share holders of this company was held at the offices, in the Eustotiequare station. Sir AWRY WOOLARTON &Aug in the chair. The substance of the report of the directors has been already published in our journal. The CHAIRMAN, in moving that it be received and adopted, said he was happy to be in • position to congratulate the shareholders upon the result of the working of the line during the past six months. In almost every respect the accounts for the peat half year presented a favourable aspect The traffic on the line, notwithstanding the general depression of trade, had maintained its position, and the reeeipts amounted to 8471, in excess of those for the corresponding period of the previous year. The mast material feature in the transactions of the half year ass the careful management of the locomotive dewt went in all its details, by which the directors had been enabled to effect • considerable saving in the amount of the working expenses. There was another point which should not be panted over in silence—be meant the retirement of their manager and secretary, Mr. Chubb, and he (the chairman) only spoke the sentiments of all his colleagues in the direction when he said, that they deeply regretted his leaving them. (Hear.) Mr. Chubb had been coonected with the North London Company from the time of its formation, and had in every particular shown himself an attentive and efficient officer. His value, however, had been seen by others as well as by themselves, and the con sequence was that most liberal offers had been made to him by another corporate body, offers which they could not emulate, and which he, in justice to himself and his family, could Dot refuse to accept. He was sure the proprietors would join with the directors in expressing their regret at the retirement of Mr. Chubb, accompanied by their best wishes for his success in the new sphere to which he was about to be removed. Mr. R.D.MANGLES seconded the motion. • - The CHAIRMAN, in reply to Mr:Oeyona stated that the saving in the locomotive expenses was noarly 3,000 t., and more than compensated for the falling off in the coal traffic. The whole locomotive stock was in a most efficient state. Mr. ONTONB said the report was one which must prove most satisfactory to all the shareholders. He wished to know if there had been any mistake in the calculations for the City branch? The Caaisw replied that there had been none what ever. The motion was then agreed to, and the dividend at the rate of 21. 10.. for the half-year declared, and made imme diately payable. Mr. ONTONS then moved a resolution expressive of the regret of the company at the retirement of Mr. Chubb, and voting that gentleman a testimonial of the value of one hun dred guineas, in appreciation of his faithful and energetic services on behalf of the company. The motion was seconded by Mr. SACNDZISON, and sup ported by Mr. R. D. MANGLE& who expressed &vat satis faction at the circumstance that the presentation of the testimonial originated with the shareholders. He bad been from the very first a member of the board, and could bear testimony to Mr. Chubb's uniform courtesy, his real, his talent, and his ability. The motion was then put from the chair, and unani mously approved of. Mr. Coven returned thanks for the honour which had been conferred on him, and the proceedings terminated in the usual manner. of 350 i. Coder such circumstances it is gratifying Woe to be able to recommend the usual dividend at Use rate d five percent. par annum on the wont half of the year. Shortly after the last half-yearly meeting we entered into a coo. tract with Mr. &goal for the construction of the works of the branch from &acres through Nesegh to Bird. hill. We are in possession, rod have paid for, a large por tion of the land required, and have purchased the requisite quantity of rail, and sleepers. The works are now being rapidly proceeded with, sod we have no doubt the line will be constructed for the sum estimated. The bill for the put dame of the Limerick and Castleconnell Railway, promoted by this company diming the last session of Parliament., was rejected by a committee of the House of rds, being op posed by the Waterford and Limerick Railway Company, sod several parties interested in the nay' taco of the River Shannon. We are of opinion that this decision will sot in any material degree affect the interest, cf this soaps . The new line of railway from Cliarleville to promoted by an independent company, was opened for traffic on the tat instant. We have entered into arrange manta with the directors to work the line for a period of five years. The extension of the Bagnalstown and Wexford line to Bidlywilliam waa opened, for poisoner traffic on the 17th of March last. This line, se you are already aware, is worked by this company. Tbe proposed juocticia at Cork with the railway to Youghal and Queenstown ham received our best attention, but up to the present time no plans have been laid before us which have not been open to serious objections, both an regards the gradients and point of junc tion. We shall be glad if these difficulties can be removed without incurring too large an expense, sod we shall not lose sight of the subject. DUTCH RHINISIN RAILWAY.—Tbe receipts for the fortnight ending July 15, 1862, amounted to 9,720/. se. 9141., and for the corresponding period of last year to 9,602 L ss. 11d., showing no mamas of 1171. 19s. 100. in favour of the present year.

This was an action of a novel character, it being what is called an action of prohibition, the jury being empannelled by direction of the court above to try a certain question of fact, namely, whether at &vestry meeting of the parishioners of Plumateed, after a particular resolution had been car ried by show of hands a poll was demanded. Serjeant Shoe and Mr. J. Browne were fer the plaintiff ; Mr, Bovill, Q C., sad Mr. J. White were for the defendants, who were the churchwardens of Ph, instead. This cause arose out of certain proceeedings that have been the subject of litigation upon several occasions in the superior courts, the real question at issue being the validity of a rate that was mule in January Id6o, for the purpose of making a new burial ground, the old churchyard at Plum stead having been closed by order of the Secretary of State. The issue the present jury was empannelled to try wan whether, in point of fact, a poll had been demanded or not, the cue on the part of the defendants apparently being that although a poll was undoubtedly demanded thin had reference to the question of adjournment, and not to the rate that was the subject of dispute. A great number of witnesses were examined, and at seven o'clock the cause was adjourned. (Before Benxi Bramwell and a Common Jury). SCOTT V. WAIL/31. This vu as action to recover damages from the defen dant for false imprisonment, to which be pleaded that he was a medical man, and that he was called in to attend the plaintiff in that capacity, and that he found that he was suffering from delirium tremens, and that he was a dan gerous lunatic, and that it was necessary to restrain him, and also that what was done was done with him consent. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Prentice, were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Serjesnt Parry and Mr. Lloyd ap peared for the defendant. This cause commenced on Monday, and was adjourned until yesterday morning, and, as will be gathered from the form of the action, the case was one of a very peculiar character. The plaintiff in the action, it appeared, had formerly been in the naval service, but be had become possessed of considerable property, and at the time the transaction took place be was living with his wife in Brook-street, Lambeth. The defendant is a medical gen tleman living in the same neighbourhood, who holds seven! public appointments, one of which was that of surgeon to the late Queen's Bench Prison, and he also holds the name appointment to the L division of police. The transaction that was the subject of inquiry took place on the 10th of February, and it appeared that upon this day the plainti ff had been drinking sod was a little excited, and it was alleged that the defendant, who had attended upon the plaintiff professionally a short time before, but who was not his regular medical attendant, went to the plaintiffs house, and, according to the case for the plaintiff, he sent a man named Street to the house to take charge of him, and he remained with him all night, and this was the false im prisonmeot of which the plaintiff complained, and for which be now sought to obtain damages. It was admitted that the plaintiff was in the habit of d.:nking freely, but it was said that he was not violent when be was in • state of in toxication, and upon the day in question be was merely slightly excited from drink , but that be had made arrange mental to go to the Princess's Theatre in the evening, sod that his carriage had been ordered, and it was said that if be had been suffered to remain quiet, he would soon have perfectly recovered. The plaintiff, himself, his wife, and her sister, and some other persons, were called as witnesses on his behalf, and they all stated that the plaintiff had never been guilty of any vio lence towards them, and that he had also never exhibited any symptom of insanity, although it was admitted that when the plaintiff had been drinking he used to talk very loud ; but the witnesses said that he only acted in this respect like other seafaring men, who were occasionally rather boisterous. It also appeared that the plaintiff kept • six-barrel revolver in his b ed room, and that be also bad a pair of other pistols ; but all the witnesses declared that he had never made any attempt to use these weapons. After the examination of the defendant, his partner, Dr. Constable, and a police -sergeant, named Walls, Berm Bramwell, in summing up the evidence, said be was marry to be obliged to state that it appeared to him that, from the nature of the evidence that had been given on one side and on the other in this case, it was impossible to come to any other conclusion than that either th e witnesses for the plaintiff, or those for the defendant,' had deposed to facts which they must have known were not true, and it was impossible that the contradictions that ap peared in the tes'irnony could be the result of mistake. It was alleged on the part of the defendant that he was sect for to the plainti ff 's house, and that when he arrived he found him in such a state that he felt it necessary for his own protection and the Lately of those about him that he should put him under some restraint, and if this was the fact he would be jusi,ified in acting as be did, and was entitled to their verdict On the part of the plaintiff, however, it was positively sworn that the de fendant was not sent for at all, and that the plaintiff was perfectly quiet when he arrived, and consequently has in terference was quite uncalled for and unjustifiable ; and the jury would have to consider 'bathe.. the evidence for the plaintiff or that which bad been adduced for the defendant was the most entitled to credit. The jury. after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff.— Damages ono farthing. Mr. Boron Bramwell deposed of several other common jury causes, but they were all of an uninteresting character. OXFORD ClRClllT.—Gweczanne, Auouer 12.

THE MURDER NEAR DURHAM. Dr. Hudson, of Chester-le-Street, assisted by Dr. Linton, of the same place, male a postmortem inaminatiou of the body of the unfortunate old woman on Holiday. They found that the injuries she bad sustained were much I greater than were revealed by a superficial examination. The wounds on the head were of the most deadly descrip- Son ; and it was found that four of her ribs had been broken, from which it is inferred that her brutal assailant or assailants must have jumped upon her. Other extensive injuries were exhibited upon various parts of her person ; and, as previously stated, ber left arm was broken above the elbow. It is scarcely Ile to conceive a more brutal and horrible ease of ity than is pre muted by the body of the poor ino ff ensive old women. It appears that she had of late years been very religious, and the tea party at which we mentioned she had been present on the Saturday evening was in connexion with a prayer meeting of the denomination to which she belonged. In the course of yesterday, Colonel White, chief countable of the county, visited the spot He was attended bySuperinten dente Squire and Johnsoo, and other officers. They remained there throughout the day, busily engaged in investigating the case, and the whole of the witnesses were privately exa mined before Colonel White. The result, of course, was not allowed to transpire; but a report found its way into 'circulation that the ease wore • very serious aspect as regarded the two prisoners. The two cottages, in one of which she resided, stand on a gentle eminence, immediately overlooking the re sidence of her husband, and also the village of Nettles worth, which is situated about a couple of hundred yards off, in the direction of the road leading to Chester-le-Street A few yards from the cottage is a quarry ; and at the said of the old woman's cottage is • stable, not at present, we believe, used by any one. The cottage contained merely one room, on the ground floor, with a loft above. This loft is lighted by a small window of four panes—at least, there have been four panes, but they bad at some time pee -1 viously been brakes, and their place had been supplied by a couple of rough deals, to exclude the wind and wei,. The appearance of this window at once dispels the notion that any one could have entered the cottage thereby, the size of the window frames being too small, and there is no appear ance of their having been interfered with. An exami nation of the window inside showed that some one had made au attempt to give colour to such a notion, one of the deals having been forced off. On the floor underneath the window fragments of lime and rubbish had in course of time eccumulatcd. It did not exhibit the slightest appear ance of having been disturbed, ea must have been the case had anyone really entered the loft by the window. Further, however, to favour the idea that some one had entered by that way, the opening in the floor, looking into the room below, had been interfered with. This opening had been closed up with sacking to exclude draughts t one end of the sack ing had been pulled down sufficiently far to present • hole large enough for • man to drop through on to the floor below. The interior of the room was vezy scantily furnished. The bed on which the old woman's remains were laid stands with its foot opposite the window. It was heartrending to look upon be aged features, cruelly disfigured by the barbarity of her assailants. The bed clothes were the same as she bad used during life. They were neat and clean. The bed was hung with white dimity curtains. On the side near the fire, between which and the bed foot the body was found lying, there was a long patchy stain of blood upon the curtain, the appearance of which was like what she might have made by seizing hold of it while struggling with her murderer, her hand at the time being stained with ber own blood. Near the head of the bed, on the side near the fire, is a small chest of ma. hozany drawers, the commits of which showed signs of having been ransacked. On the opposite side of the bed was the chest which is said to have contained her linen. A small table stands beneath the window, and on it was found the candlestick of the deceased, just where she bad left it on retiring to zee:. On the wiodow-sill is • small pile of books, and in one of them is written " Allll Halli day, born November 11th, 1779, aged 73 years. &ode mime, near Durham." This appears, therefore, to have been written when she was 73 years of age ; at the time of the murder, the date of her birth shows her to have been in her 83rd year. From • nail in Qs wall her little stuff spree was still suspended, just as she had taken it off oo retuning home on Saturday, and near it were bung two small bags, such as are commonly used in country planes to contain odds and ends. The house of the suspected persons is rather superior in its accommodation as compared with that of the old woman. The room above was used by the family, having a stair leading up into it. A bed stands down-stairs, but the bedding has been removed, and there le a quantity of it lying upon the floor. The ashes are 'trove over the floor, having apparently been carefully searched by the police in the hops of finding anything &ree nacted with the murder. The bedclothes, we suppose, had been removed with the same object —Newcastle Chronicle. The inquest on Hrs. Halliday, says the Leeds Mercury, was opened yesterday. The evidence given by the polies officer and other witnesses was of a material character, and very strongly inipliceted the man Coo and his wife, who lived next door, and who are now in custody oa stupidest of murdering the old woman. THE CONDEMNED CONVICT AT BODMIN. I The criminal, John Doidge, who was on Thursday last sentenced to death by Mr. Justice Williams for the murder of Roger Drew, at St. Stephen's by Launceston, continues to manifest the sams stoical demeanour as that which characterised him both before and during his It is true that he talks of the disgrace which he has brought upon himself, but he has said nothing which would iodinate contrition for his fearful crime. It is a remarkable fact that from the first moment of his arrest he has never denied that he murdered the old man. He eats, drinks, and sleeps as natal ; in fact there is nothing in his conduct or manner of passing his days and nights which would lead one to suppose that he was so rapidly ap preaching the termination of his life. There is no general specified rule aa to bow long after the trial of a culprit for murder his execution shalljtake place. Usually be is allowed two Sundays alter the judges have left the assize town, but various customs prevail in the, different counties. Thus at Winchester, these present swims, the Fordingbridge mur derer was allowed three Sundays after his condemnation, and whiles Monday is generally the day selected for the execution, the very last case of capital panishment carried out in Exeter —that of the unfortunate Hacked —took place as a Satur day, viz., the 30th March, 1861. la Cornwall, however, the extreme penalty of the law I. carried out on Moaday. The last exec uti o n s for murder at Bodmin took place in the summer of 1866, and this, as in most other places, was over the entrance to the county gaol. Since that time every vestige of the old prima has been swept away, sad ea its site has been erected the extensive and substaatial pile of castellated buildings which now ooestitute the Cornwall Ocusity Prison. The entrance is ea the nerthiast side et LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE. The report of the directors to the half-yearly meeting on the 20th instant has been issued as follows : " The capital account states the amount of share and mortgage capital chargeable on revenue to 30th June, 1862, exclusive ot the leased line, to have been as follows : Con solidated stock, 12.093,504/. ; guaranteed and preference stock. 2,671,6751. ; loans, 4,618,6DV. ; moneys in advance of calls, 136,078/.—total, 19,519,96,W, The expenditure on capital account for the half-year amounts to 12'J,5151., of which the following are the principal items :—Oldham, Rochdale, and Royton line, 44,6141. ; Salford and Victoria Junction, 12,3171. ; enlargement of stations, 49,006/. ; working stock, 21,3231. The revenue account shows the receipts of the company for the last half-year to have been as follows :—Passengers, parcels, and mails, 324,1011. ,• goods and live stock, 469,6491. ; rents, 1,2851. ; Preston and Wpm Railway, 18,5151. ; Maacheater, Bolton, and Bury Canal, 3,5421.—t0ta1, 817,0921. The disbursements as follows :—Working expenses, 326,342/. ; Preston and Wyre Railway, 11,2454 ; rates, taxes, and duty, 21,3371. ; Man chester, Bolton, and Bury Canal, 1,5941.—t0ta1, 380,5181. The balance of net revenue applicable to the payment of dividend on the ordinary stock of the company is 242,212!. 9s. Id. ; and out of this amount your directors recommend the proprietors to declare a dividend at the rate of 31 per oent. per annum, less income tax, and to carry forward the balance, 15,457/. 11s. 4d., to next half-year's accounts. The statement of the receipt@ for the last half-year shows a falling off in the revenue of 133,6301., as compared with the corresponding half of the previous year, occasioned by the stagnation ot business in Lancashire, owing in a great measure to the short supply of cotton. In the Yorkshire district the traffic has been steadily maintained. The work ing espeimes of the railway have engrossed much of the attention of your directors, and they have succeeded in re ducing them to a considerable extent. The permanent wa is reported by the engineer to be in good condition, and the heads of departments also report that the rolling stock under their charge is in good order and repair. A vote was taken et the last half yearly meeting for a sum of 40,0001., as being the probable amount required to be expended on capital accouut for general purposes during the half-year. The outlay has been 70,331!.,vie.:—F0r station improvements, 49 , t . ; and for additional working stock, 21,223/. The estimate of the requirements on capital account for the current half year (exclusive of new lines) is—for improvement of sta tions, &c., 60,0001. The suffering condition of the ope ratives in the cotton manufacturing districts calla for, and will doubtless receive, the warm sympathy of the share holders of this company. Your directors, bearing in mind that iu the time of prosperity this class of the community has contributNi largely to your receipts, now recom mend to the shareholders to subscribe the sum of 5,0001. to the fund which is being raised for their relief. The act of parliament authorising the construction of the Shawforth branch, and the acquisition of land at Burnley, Clitherne, and other placm4 for additional station accommodation, has received the royal assent. The proposed extension of the Barnsley Coal Rail way, which, if pasted, would have injuriously affected your interests, has been rejected by peril/meet. The bill au thorising the projected line from Wakefield to Barony-on- Don and Doncaster, being, in fact, the Wakefield and Doe. caster line of former years, was passed by the committee of the House of Commons, notwithstanding the strenuous op position of your company. Your directors motioned the opposition on behalf of your company in the House of Lords, and succeeded in getting the clauses struck out which would have given the promoters rimming powers over your line and the Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax, and Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds Railways, now worked under agreement by your company and the Great Northern, or the use by other companies of the st•tions at Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax. A clause important to your interests was at the same time introduced iota the bill, preventing the construction of the branch forming a junction with your line at Oakecslorw, near Wakefield, without the consent of your company, under its common seal, being first obtained. The shareholders will remember that three *themes were submitted to parliament last session, for makings more direct railway between Doncaster and Hull, viz., the North Eastern Company's Hull and Doncaster branch ; the South Yorkshire Hull Extension ; and the Doncaster, Goole, and Hull lines, proposed in your behalf. The two latter projects were rejected by the committee of the House of Commons, and afterwards the committee of the House of Lords threw out the bill of the North Eastern Company. The works on the line from Oldham to Rochdale and Rojton are programing, ad the directors expect that it will be open for traffic by the month of June in next year ; and a considerable portion of the land sod buildings required for the Salford Junction line have been purchased." GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN OP IRELAND. The following is the report of the directors for the half-year ending June 30, 1862 The usual abstract of accounts, which we now lay be fore you, shows the net surplus revenue for the half-year to be 94,923!. 13s. 6d., out of which we recommend that • dividend, at the rate of five per cent per annum, be paid to the proprietors of the consolidated stock of the com pany, which will leave a Wain. of 2,833!. 9s. 6d. to be carried to the credit of the next ball-year's account. The results of the working of the hue for the past six months have not been, in some respects, as satisfactory as we ma id with. On goods, coal, and cattle, there has been a o o aa id er able increase ; but on Ant and second clam passengers, and on horses and carriages there has been a de crease to the extent of 3,2084 When we consider the de pommel state of trade and agriculture, to which we have had occasion so frequently to recur, this loss is not greater than might reasonably have been expected. We regret to say that there has been a large increase on the rates and hum, amounting for the half-rear to 3,2001., and also that we ha ve not derived any dividend from our investments in other Ilan Oa military Ina:others has also been a falling off ALARMING FIRES. During Monday night and yesterday morning the firemen of the London Brigade were called to attend not fewer than six fires in various parts of the metropolitan district. One fire took place in the premises of Mr. C. Hales,. No. 162, Eastaeld•street, Old-road, Stepney. The fire o riginated from some unknown came ie the lower por tion of the building, and it extended with such rapidity that in the course of • few minutes ever/ room in the building was in flames. The Royal Society s escape having quickly attended, the whole of the residents effected a safe retreat. The engines of the parish and three of the London Brigade, and also the land steam-0o e, were early in arriving • bat in spite of the exertions of the fire men, who were a ided with a good supply of water, the flames continued to spread, and at one time it was feared that the adjoining premises of Mr. G. Bell, No. 163, would also have fallen a prey to the flames. The occupiers throw their furniture into the street, by which much damage was done. Eventually, however, the fire was subdued, but not until Mr. Hales' premises were destroyed. Fortunately, the sufferers were insured in the Sun.office.—Another fire broke oat on the pprteemmisrseess belonging to Mr. G. F. Rock, No. 15, Hertfo Haggerstone. This was caused by • man smoking. In lees than three minutes the whole of the lower part of the house wee in one mass of flame, and the fire was rapidly extending up the staircase. Three parish engines, and those of the London Brigade, promptly attended, but the Games could not be extinguished until a serious amount of damage had been done, end it is feared that the su ff erer was uninsured. A fir e also happened on the premises of Mr. G. Stocker, haberdasher and milhore, carrying on business at 102 , Goswelletreet, ClerkenwelL It was caused by some of the light faocy . articles in the front of the shop window being blown against a gas burner in the window, and the core queues was that the contents of the window presented in • few seconds • great sheet of flame. Two parish engines end three of the London Establishment haring attended with ell possible expedition, the fire was extinguished, bat a vast amount of damage mime. Insurance unknown.—Early in the moining • fire happened in the_preinises of Mr. J. M. Flowers, • tailor, situate at 60, White Hoe - street, Stepney.

The Germans end the shippers to Bombay are also in the market giving good prices for Ws water twist and 40's mule yare, but in consequence of the stoppage of so many mills yarns are becoming much scarcer, and the few spinners who hold stocks are able to command extreme prices for any thing that will WI. The demand, however, is not as active u it was last week, which I. in some measure attributable to buyers having lees choice from the diminution of supply. In cloth we have not much business to-day, slthoueh prices are quite ss firm, if not higher than last week. Fidler., on the one hand, have great faith in higher prices, believing that from the rapid decrease of pro duction they will shortly have a better command of the market. The stoppage of mills is going on beyond prece dent, and it has been confidently reported on the exchange today that of the vast number of factories in Blackburn and its neighbourhood, where a great portion of the shirtinp and other fabrics for India are produced, only three will short) be at work. Messrs. Fieldeo, of Todmorden, are re. to have only one out of seven mills at work, ai7hey propose to give their workpeople three days wages per week. Many others are following their ex. ample in stopping, and most of them are making some provision for their support in idleness. This, however, , cannot be expected of many, from their limited mauls, and because some are already on the brink of ruin themselves. Whilst the few producers left are in good hopes of better pries from diminished proluction, buyers on the other hand are shy. They seem to have some fear that goods dangerous at present rates, and whether their means of in formation is good or not, they are acting upon it in the belief that it is wisest. The present season has been avail able for the holden of old stocks, and within the last few days some large sales have taken plow of cloths which are not likely for some time to be replaced. A new material has been mixed with cotton to some ex tent by spinners and manufacturers, and with considerable 11410,110. This is a preparation of flax, the waste from what is used in the linen manufacture. The chief difficulty is in preparation, so as to give it a colour in harmony with grey calico, and there is some difficulty in spinning it on cotton machinery. Manufacturers have been found who have over come tbir difficulty, and domestics have been sold in this market baying an appearance which gives it a preference over ordinary cotton goods. In price it has been bought so as to give the manufacturer a good profit as compared with cotton ; but as the supply is limited, that difference will soon be lost as it comes to be appreciated. Most people know that for years past a mixture has he ft sold for lima cloth called " onion," which buyers had to guard against as a fraud. By the change which has now taken place through the cotton famine, calicoes will be in the market adulterated with linen ; but, so far from being guarded against as a fraud, it will be an advantage rather than otherwise to be able to purchase such goods.

The in crease in the receipts has been gradual throughout the half year, and , although the general effect of the International brhibition may to some extent have latterly contributed to this result, the fo tnightly returns show that a steady ave rage increase has Pervaded the period. A comparatively small outlay on capital concoct has been made during the half- year, chiefly foe the purpose of providing private tele graphs where spare wires were already available, or for opening new of in important thoroughfares and districts near which the wires alreadyaossed. The general cuirent expenditure has been kept as low as possible consistently with the efficient working of the large and increased holi ness. The charge for ' repairs and maintenance' is near. eerily to some extent beyond control, and fluctuating. Thus, for instance, during the half-year, in consequence of save& violent gales, considerable outlay was incurred for repairs to roofs of bones on which the poles are fiord. The solicitors having reported that the calls on forty-fire shares are irrecoverable, the directors propose to forfeit their. It will be seen that the directors have nit availed them selves of the borrowing powers authorised at the last half yeerly meeting. The seat in the direction caused by the retiremet of Mr. J. W. Brett not having been filled op, the directors have the satisfaction of atatirg that Sir Charles Bright has consorted to occupy it. A vacancy has also occurred by the retirement of Mr. Alderman Rose, but the directors do not recommend that it should be filled up at present. The directors are still confident es to the ultimate prospects of the undertaking, which time will materially arid to develop, sad this opinion is strengthened by the steady increase shown by the above statemeate." _ _ (A.dVeTtinerueUfv)---110ILOWAT'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.
