*parttng Intelligente. DONCASTER SEPTEMEER MEETING. THITISDAT. Compared with yesterday, when all was bustle and ex citement, the old town to-day wore a somewhat quiet aspect ; but the racing not commencing until a quarter past two allowed time for a partial settling on the Leger, and this, together with the interesting sales of blood stock, fully occupied the time till the sport began. A number of minor accounts were settled, and rumour was, as usual, busy with the names of the largo winners, but as yet no reliable particulars can be furnished. At the rooms the previous evening, there was some sensational 4Jesarewitch betting, the stable companion of Hermit, Blinkboolie. being backed fora large amount of money, as little as 8 to 1 being taken, although something like tioo'. wsa got on at a point more. Before the break up of busi ness, however, 14 to 1 was offered against the son of Rata plan, at which price he was almost friendless. The other quotations Laving been given by telegram, recapitula tion is unnecessary. The card of to-day, containing as it did seven items, although possessing no important feature was sufficiently interesting to keep up the character of the " off day." The decrease in the attendance was palpable, for although the lines stretched down as far as the Red House, the rails on either side of the running ground were but thinly streaked with spectators ; and at the hill, where yesterday a whole /lost of people were packed, a few stragglers were only to. day observable. The ring and stands, too, were thinned, so that locomotion was not to-day the difficult work it was yesterday, and great relief was felt by all that the event ful struggle, so anxiously anticipated, bad been decided. Of course the features of the great race furnished a fruit ful theme for conversation, but directly the numbers were displayed for the first race the past was wet aside, and all attention was turned to the business of the hour. The racing being fully de scribed below needs no comment in this place. The most noteworthy incidents of the day were the break ing down of Repulse, the winner of the One Thousand Guineas last year ; the overthrow of the Earl, upon whom the odds of to 2 were laid ; and the victory of Seville, in the Cleveland Stakes, whose succeu to-day with the im post of ist showed unmistakably how much she must have in hand in the Great Yorkshire Handicap.

THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1867. THE MIDLAND RAILWAY ACCIDENT. The inquest on the body of Martha Vaines, the child killed in the Peak Forest Tunnel by the first colli sion on Monday night, was held on Wednesday, at the Midland Railway Hotel, Ptak Forest before Dr. Bennett, coroner for that division of Derbyshire. The origin of the whole accident will be found to have been traced with tolerable oettainty to the inexperience of the signalman at the Peak Forest end of the tunnel. The signalman at the other end brought corroborative evidence of his statement, quoted in our report of yesterday, that he received the atgnal " Line clear," before allowing the cattle train to enter the tunnel, which resulted in its collision with the ballast train. It appeared that the deceased had sustained a fracture of the base of the skull. The body was also much bruised. Townsend, stationmaster, at Peak Forest, said on the evening of that day, about 5.20 p.m., the up line was clear, as indicated by telegraph a; the time. Whilst he was on the platform a signal bell rang, and he did not know then what for. He then went to tea. Wil liam Knight, the signalman, informed him he bad received • signal from Chapel-en-le-Frith. Knight (the porter) went to his tea in the same room with witness. Knight having finished tea, which occupied about a quarter of an hour, went into the signal-box, leaving witness before he finished his tea. The other porter (Newton) informed witness news had arrived that there bad been a collision in the tunnel. William Knight was the porter who re ceived the signal, he being entrusted with the signal-box. From the information witness received, he went to the tunnel, and found that the report was true. (A copy of the rules regulating signals was produced.) He had been in charge of signals before on the Midland line. When he heard the bell ring indicating a signal from another station, it was the duty of the signalmatt to block the needle, indi cating at the other end of the tunnel that there is a train ur block between the station from which the signal is aunt and his own. William Kn ig ht, • signalman at Peak Forest station, was next called. He received a signal about half-peat 5 on Monday from Chapel-en-le-Frith, indicating that • train was coming on the up line. He at once blocked it, thus giving the signalman at Chapel an intimation that the telegram was received. The stationmaster had called him to take a note to a man in the limestone aiding. He left the signal box for that purpose, and was away about three minutes. He thee came back to the station, and got his tea, and afterwards went into the box, and found the signal at " Linea blocked ;" and noticing that the needle w.ui being shaken from Chapel-en-le-Frith, witness thought they wanted it unblocked. He thought the signal man at Chapel bad changed his mind, and wanted the line unblocked, as there was no train due. Witness consequently pulled the peg out, but at the same time he did not knock " line clear." Witness then shook both the handles to see whether the signalman at Chapel would say anything, but no reply was sent. So witness blocked it up again, and heard no more till ho was in. formed of the accident. Had been signalman about • month, and was previously • gentleman's servant. lie un derstood nothing about these matters before, and had bad no previous experience in the working of si gnals. During the last month had been studying those signals. Had been previously learning at Matlock Bridge and Muesli Dale for three weeks, but bad only been at Peek Forest since last Thursday. He had been taught by James Lister, who was stationmaster at Montiall Dale. At Mat lock be was with the signalman being taught. He did not know whether that wes a common practice. Before be came to Peak Forest he thoroughly understood the code which be was bound to follow. The rules produced were the same. . The coroner here read out • role to the witness, and then asked him to explain the substance of it. The witness was unable to give the substance of the rule. He went on to say there was a book in the signal box which he had not reed. He had no rules put up to refer to. He did not profess to know the rules. He had been examined by Mr. Loveday, inspector on the Midland line, when at Miller's-dale. upon the use of the instruments. He had then made a mistake in answering in regard to one of the signals. He also made • mistake as regarded the recognition of the up line and the down line. He had been learning about • fortnight at that time. Mr. Loveday said he would do in • day or two. The day after that examination witness had an order to go to Moneall-dale, where he stayed a week ; whilst there witness turned the signals, and then the stationmaster, who was instructing hun at the time, came to see that all was right. He underwent no farther examination. While at Monsell-dals Mr. Loveday told him that he had been appointed to Peak Forest station. He accordingly went there.—ln answer to further questions horn the coroner, the witness admitted that whereas the rule required him, when the line had been " blocked," to ascertain if it was clear again, he bad neglected to do this. Philip Hubbart, signalman at Chapel-en-le-Frith, was next examined. On Monday night he was in his signal box from 5.16 to 5.20, when a ballast train left the Chapel en-le-Frith station. He had previously signalled to Peak Forest, in answer to which he got " Line blocked." He then sent on the ballast train. He heard no more of that train, and in about ten minutest after a cattle train came into Chapel station. He reported this also to Peak Forest, : and got an answer, " Line clear. " He was positive of it. He bad fi ve witnesses to that effect. He accordingly allowed the train to pass on. Twelve minutes afterwards be heard the cattle waggons coining back, which had broken loose. He saw the cattle train at the Back-lane-bridge. He tried to get at the points, but had not time. He ran across the fields to Bridgenorth, expecting an accident to occur every minute to the 5.20 train from Manchester. The train had passed when he got to Bridgenorth. Mr. Tilson, the stationmaster at Chapel-en-le-Frith, was afterward:a examined, and corroborated the evidence of his signalman, Hubbart, that the signal was received " Line clear." He was unable to account for the little girl getting on the ballast train ; it was quite against rules. He bad seen her at the station asking how she was to get to Peak Forest. Henry Herbert Loveday, district Ins pec tor of the Mid land Railway, said he had known William Knight, the signalman at Peek Forest, for • month. When he first maw him he was sent to Matlock-bridge to leant the duty of • telegraph signalman. He remained there about • fort night, under the tuition of a signalman named Jones. kfter that he saw Knight at Matlock-bridge station respecting his duties. Witness questioned him slightly respecting his knowledge of the signals, and impressed him with the importance of hie duties. A fortnight ago witness had to examine several signal porters is oonse quence of the new line from Bradford to London being about to be opened. He found that Knight bad made some mistakes in his answers as regarded his knowledge of the signals. He found he was not competent, but had no doubt be would be in a few days. He recommended that he should go to Monsen Dale station to assist the station master, who is the telegraph signalman at that station, in order to complete his knowledge of the signals. On Thursday or Friday last witness came to examine him again. Not having seen the signal porter at Matlack bridge, be went to speak to him respecting Knight. After his previous examination, witness asked him what his opinion of Knight was as to his knowledge of his duties. He replied that be acted well, and never made one mistake while he was with him. He also asked Lister, at lffonsall Dale if he considered the man was capable of being entrusted with the duties of a signal man. He replied that he considered he was Suite capable of taking charge. Witness then examined Knight again at Miller's Dale to make himself perfectly satisfied, and he considered the man was quite capable to take charge of • telegraph signal poet. He reported to that effect to his superintendent, and an accident having just happened to the previous signal porter at Peak Forest, Knight was sent to succeed him. The coroner here read the evi dence of Knight, and the witness said the momentary taking the peg out by Knight would be an indication to the Chapel signalman that the line was clear. It could not be taken for anything else. That peg should not have been taken out till the train had passed. There were positive instructions as to that point. A man with ordinary intelligence is capable of taking charge of • signal in . month's time. It is not a heavy poet, an only a few trains stop to shunt. Always, where there is • straight line, and it is only necessary to par the signals backward; and forwards, the duties arc simple. He had cautioned Knight in general terms, end showed him the importance of not touching the needle unneces sarily. He considered Knight to hare made the greatest progress he had ever seen, and he considered that the report of Mr. Jones, that he had not made one mistake, was something remarkable. The coroner, in summing up, said there was no doubt that Knight, the signalman at Peek Forest, did tmfortu nately, and to a certain extent culpably, draw out the peg. The jury, however, would consider whether there were not extenuating circumstances, for being an in experienced man, he might have done it in the hurry of the moment. In that ease 130 should scarcely recommend a verdict of manslaughter against Knight. The coroner also expressed en opinion that the training of the signal. men had been superficial, and that at the station where he learnt his duties he bad been allowed to practice be fore he was perfect, and thus risk an accident at any time. The jury then retired at 7.30, and after an absence of twenty minutes returned with a verdict of accidental death, but were of opinion that the signalman wee not capable of fulfilling his duty, not being sufficiently trained to it, and that the time allotted for acquiring his duties was not sufficiently long. They also expressed • strong opinion with reference to the conduct of the station master at Peak Forest—that the signal-box should have been left so long without some person to look after it. They also censured him fur sending the signalman away with a letter when he should not have been called from his box. . . . The coroner, at the conclusion of this inquest, proceeded by special train with the witnesses to New Mills, where, about nine o'clock, he opened the inquest on the sufferers by the second collision. The evidence was in peat pert identical with that at the find inquiry. The second in. quest concluded at cos o'clock mm. yesterday morning, with a similar verdict and similar expressions of opinion by the jury.

Ridiard Merril .712.7invei . or; liayrrwater omidbusorae darted with cruelty to a borne by working it in an unfit condition. _ -- iii;as a very bad case. A City police-constable, named Peat, saw the defendant driving his omnibus in Cheapaide on Wednesday morning about 12 o'clock, and upon examining one of the horses he found that its side was completely raw by rubbing against the pole, and it also had a severe wound upon the fetlock, large enough to put a five shilling piece in, from which blood and matter were issuing. Upon the defendant promising that the horse should be led home and not worked again until it wee cured, the constable allowed him to go away, but he watched him and saw him pot the horse again to the omnibus, and it appeared that he drove him home to Bays water. Oa the same afternoon Peat saw the defendant on the return journey with another pair of horses, and one of these had a most dreadful sore on the wither, and the poor animal was alto gether in an unfit condition to be at work. The defendant, it appeared, told the constable that he must earn his livelihood, and that he bad no alternative but to drive the hones that were given to him. He had also been summoned on a previous occasion for a similar offence, and fined ten shillings. The defendant, in answer to the charge, made some lame excuse, to the e ff ect that everything that was pos sible had been done to ease the humus, and prevent it from wringin ig the horses. He also said something about being ob i ed to support himself and his family. The omnibus dnven by the defendant, it appeared, be longed to a person named Richard Robinson. Sir R. Carden told him he was a very cruel fellow, and he supposed, if he had not been interfered with, be would have driven the poor animals until they dropped dead under him. He then ordered him to be imprisoned and kept to I hard labour for fourteen days, without the option of pay ing • fine. GIIILHHAI4,. John 111' Comma, • Min who w a lked with a crutch, and Catherine, bin wife, were summoned before Alderman Lusk, M.P., for aseaulting the complainant. Mr. Beard appeared for the defendants. John Jackson said that on Thursday last, at a quarter to two, he wet placed in possession of the defendants' furni ture for rent, in the presence of the man and his wife. He showed his warrant, and the male defendant read it. He had not been in more than a quarter of an hour, and bad made out the inventory, when Mrs. M`Cormaik offered him ISs., the amount of rent without the e xpanses. He refused to take it without the 6s. 6d. ex penses. She refused to pay the expenses, and he refused to go without them. She said, " You won't takeths rent,won't you ? then out you go," and putting the table on one side she seized him by the clothes and tried to pat him out, tearing his waistcoat and shirt in the struggle. The male defendant tried to strike him with his crutch, but he caught bold of it and prevented him. In crees-ezanustation by Mr. Beard, The complainant said he did not take up the poker to strike Mrs. WCormack, but she took it up to strike him, and he took it from her. . . 71; . . - Bearcl734ir very ingenious defence, contending that the complainant was offered the rent before he had been in the room five minutes, that the man never attempted to assault the complainant, but only tried to separate him from Mrs. MT...ormaok.

Aid;r7n;riLia discharged the !summons against the husband, and lined Mn. WOormack As. and soots, or three days. BOW-STREET. WiJiiata Virwent and Joh; (hang , porters working in Covent-garden-market, were charged with stealing a sove reign from the Britannia public-haw, Covent-garden. market Mr. arrison said that about half-pest 8 o'clock on Wednenday night his barman informed him that the pri soners had taken • sovereign from the counter while be (the barman) was giving change. He went in search of the prisoners, and found them drunk in another public house, the White Lion, in James-street. They denied having taken the money. He gave them in charge. That morning the mother of Vincent called upon witness and offered to repay the sovereign, saying it was only taken for a " lark," and that they meant to return it. Mr. Flowers—The question is, do you believe it was taken in that way? Witness—l can't tell, as I was not present. They are well known, and have a very good character. They cer tainly have been in the habit of taking more liberties in my house than I like, but some allowance was made as they were old customers. Samuel Challis, the barman, said that shortly biter eight o'clock a yosng man from the market sake& him for change of a 51. note. Withal., by mistake, laid di sovereigns on the counter instead of Ave. The prisoner Chaney threw down some half-pence amongst the gold, and Vincent, in picking them up, took the extra sovereign with them. The young man took hie proper change and went away. Wit ness demanded the sovereign from Vincent, who denied having taken it, and suggested that they should go in search of the young man who had got change, who, he said, would prove that he had not taken the sovereign. They went, but could not find fthe young men, and wit • n.. returned to the Britannia and told Mr. Ha rrison what had occurred. _ _ Mi. - iiloWeis—What did Chaney do ? Witness—He asked Vincent to psu the sovereign to him. Vincent said he we; sorry for what he had don.. Ha was drank. John William Reece, a salesman in the market, stated he had employed both prisoners from time to time, espe cially Vincent, whom he had frequently entrusted with large amounts of money and money's worth. He would do so again, fully believing that the prisoners were inca pable of wilful disbonewty. How they had got into this wraps he could not understand. Flowers said it was clear enough how they got into it—by (*Ming drunk. However if Yr. Harrison thought they did not mean to steal the m oney he might be dieposed to take the same view. The money, however, must in any case be restored. He should adjourn the ewe for a week, taking Hr. Reeoe's bail for both prisoners. If on con sideration Ur. Harrison believed their story be might re tire. The prisoners must remember that it was only their previous good character that saved them from being oom raitted foe trial. ILABLI3OROUGH-t3TREET. John Thomas Bell, olieriisiii;litiWeiklinirlago valued at 8001., the property of the Marchioness of Hastings, was brought before Mr. Knox for further examination. This ease, which is surrounded with a good deal of mystery, has been several times before the court, and was again gone into yesterday. The rings were stolen from the hotel in which the prosecutor was staying. The accused stated that a lady who met him in Bond-street had taken him into the hotel and given him the rings. He had had the op unity of identifying the lady by having all the female servants at the hotel regent, but he declined to do so. Mr. Knox—Perhaps it will be better for me to make no remark on this occasion. I will once more remand the prisoner. ... --- -- MARYIMBONK Rose Matthews, agedFo,lately — ii . ;: vim at 21, Lawfoni road, Kentish Town, was brought on on remand, in charge of I r Shattuck of the Y divisioo, on the charge of y murdering her mate child on the 14th of August last.

He went on the bridge, and saw the pri soner in the act of assaulting two females in an indecent manner, when he took him into custody. In securing him be ion sight of the females, end had not eines been able to find them. The prisoner said he w.&a very drank, and did not know what he was about. He had no intention of insulting any of she females. Mr. Maude asked him what he was? The prisoner said he was a clerk out of employment, and having met an old friend he unfortunately drank too much. Mr; Mande told him that, had the other females come forward and proved that be had indecently smutted them, he should have punished him with great severity, aa women most be protected from street outrages. Ile senteoosd him to pay a fine of 205., and :is. damages to the shawl, and, in default, committed him for 14 days. George Andoll was next charged with salaulting Nary Ann Oreely in Gibson.street, Waterloo-rood. The complainant said that about two in the morning she was about to enter her lodgings iu Gibson-street, when the prisoner came up to her and struck her a violent blow on the faoe. She had odd nothing to him or given him the least provocation. In reply to the magistrate, witness old that she lodged in the same house, and she believed he was jealous be- cause she had been out with another young man. In answer to the charge, the prisoner mid that the com plainant insulted him on finding him in the street, and then he struck her.. _ _ _ _ Kr. Mande fined him 20.., and in default of payment sentenced him to a month's hard labour. Jame Ott, of 8, Blenhaim-i;;:l3ttn.street, Wslworth, appeared before Mr. P to answer • summons artridge, taken out against him by Mr. Bell, the sanitary officer for the parish of St. Mary, Newington, for being unlawfully to posassaion of • quantity of fish intended for sale unlit for human food. Thomas Webb, the street-keeper to the parish, stated that on the morning of the 9th instant, between 10 and 11 o'clock, he saw the defendant and a man named Good win drawing a barrow containing four large baskets of haddocks along the Walworth-mad. His attention was attracted by the stench proceeding from the fish, and in consequent)e he followed the barrow for nearly a mile, into New-street, Walworth—a locality in which *large number of haddock smokers reside. He spoke to the defendant about the fish, which he said he bad bought in Billings gate-market. He also said that they were too bad for smoking, and were too rotten to hang on the wires, and he was going to take them back to the market. Wittier took some of the fish to Kr. Bell, the sanitary inspector, who ordered the whole of it to be brought to the court, where it was seen by the magistrate, and ordered to be condemned. Mr. William Bell, the sanitary inspector, described the Bab as being in a condition totally unfit for human food, and, of mune, at once ordered it to be brought to the court, where it was condemned. The defendant did not say for what purpose he had bought the fish, but admitted that it was in a bad condition, and desired to know whether he could not summon the party from whom he purchased it. Mr. Partridge said he remembered when he inspected it, the stench was so horrible he could not approach it when in the station-yard. The defendant said he bought it for good fish, but on find ing it putrid intended to have taken it back to the market. John Goodwin, of -lane, Peckham, said he sa tiated the defendant in mess rag home the fish, and did not observe any offensive stench from it. Mr. Partridge—Then you must have bad no nose at all. The defence makes the case worse. You say you bought the fish as good, and you were taking it home for the pur pose of selling it as food. It was so bed when brought to the court on Monday that I could not approach it. It is cruel and heartless that you should offer such putrid matter to that class who generally purchase such articles, for you must know that the oonsumpticm of it generated all kinds of disease. I eau send you to prison for three months, but under the circumstances I shall inflict the mitigated penalty of 101. and costs, in default of which you must be imprisoned for six weeks. I The prisoner was locked up in default. MAIM. - - - Maria Darling, a weliQucatea seaman, whose clothes were covered with mud sad dirt, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being drunk and disorderly, and as saulting Police-constable Bell, 328 K. At an early hour the prisoner was calling out " Police" very loudly and repeatedly, in the Commercial-road, and Bell attended uponhim, and asked him what was the matter. The prisoner, who was very drunk, said he had been robbed in a public•house, but he did not know where it was, or who had robbed him. The policeman said he could not do anything for the prisoner, and advised hint to go home. The, prisoner made use of a good deal of bad lan guage, told the policeman that he wee of no use when his services were required, and struck him a smart blow on the chest. Bell then took the prisoner into custody. Theprisoner, in defence, said he was very sorry that he had struck the policeman. He was very much intoxicated. He had been robbed of all his money, and he was vexed about his loss, and did nos know what he was about. Mr. Paget said that, in accordance with a rule he bad laid down, he could not allow the release of the prisoner until be had suffered seven days' imprisonment, with hard labour. He never overlooked assaults on the police. The prisoner implored the magistrate not to send him to prison. It would be his total ruin if he were sent there. He was seemad officer of a ship, end expected promotion. All his Fete in life, his good name, his reputation, the opinion of his respectable friends would be at au en if he were vont to the House of Correction. No one could more 'egret striking the officer than himself, and he should ever feel the degrading position he was in. Mr. Paget, after putting some questions to the prisoner, which he answered sathdactorily, and after a long pause, said he was going to do a thing which he never did before, forgive a man who had committed an assault on a police officer. He would allow the prisoner to be discharged, and his principal reason for doing so was that the prisoner had been robbed of his money. Soon after the parties left the court Mr. Paget received a communication from Mr. Livingston, the chief usher,which induced him to call them into court again, when the magis trate said be was informed the constable would have to make a report to the commissioners of the reasons which induced him to take the prisoner into custody. He wished it to be understood most distinctly that the constable was perfectly justified in what be had done, and that there was no imputation whatever upon his conduct. After some discussion it was suggested to the magistrate that the prisoner should be bound over to keep the peace, and that would relieve the constable of the necessity of making a report, and Mr. Paget adopted that course. Mr. Pain, the junior clerk, then "bound over" the prisoner in the following recognisance :—Yon hereby acknowledge yourself to be indebted to our Sovereign Lady the Queen In the stun of 101., on condition that you keep the pesos and be of good behaviour to all h e r Majesty's subjects, especially towards David Bell, for the specie of six months.—Are you cintent ? Prisoner—Tes, air. Mr. Paget—l will allow you to be discharged. GREENWICH. * William Price, of 101, Rochester.row Westminster, and Frederick Lovejoy and .Labait Weston, of Deptford, ap pealed to summonses charging them with unlawfully ob structing Walter Fox, ticket collector in the employ of the London and Brigh ton Railway Company, in the exe cution of his duty. George Burton said he was a ticket inspector employed at the Forest-hill railway station. On the arrival of the 10.30 p.m. up train on the 20th of August (tbe Foresters' day at the Crystal Palace) he saw the defendants get out of • car riage at the hindermost partof the train, and remain on the platform, while all the other passengers who had alighted passed out of the station. The ticket collector, Walter Cox, then came and demanded defendants' tickets, which they refused to give up or show, saying thry wished to go on by another train. When asked why they had not oontw ued in the train they bad travelled by, they replied, " There was not suf fi cient room." The whole of the defendants then commenced making use of violent language, and seeing Weston's band contained a ticket, witness opened it, and found it to be a half return ticket from the Q-ystal Palace to New-cross. The defendants still continued using violent language, and Weston was forcibly removed from the station. In answer to Mr. Trill, the witness said that in the compartment of the carriage from which the defendants alighted there were ten or eleven ere after they got proca l in out. Passengers were not supposed to thej ourney by getting out of a train at one 'Winn and ' b another train ; lint if defendants hadjahown their tic ke tsy and Dot left the station the tickets would have been deemed available by the next train. Mr. Chamberlin, station-master. confirmed this evi dence, and said that at the timein questionthere wawa ballet the Anerley Gardens, close to the station, and he had a suspicion that it was defendant' . intention to leave the stationand visit the gardens, and so to get into a later train and use the tickets they retained, but which would have to be given up on leaving 'nibs ordinary winner. The defendant Lovejoy, who acted as spokesman, said that the oom. , ent of the carriage into which they were put at Bydenbam was so crowded that there was no sitting room, and the other passengers abused themand threatened them that unless they got out, they vrouldthrow them out. To avoid this abuse they left the carriage at Forest-hill,and, being at the back part of the train, they were unable to find room in another carriage before the train again went on. He denied that they refused to show their tickets, bat they did decline to give them up. My. Trail said it was always • very serious thing to get into an altercation with railway officials, because their time and attention were taken from important duties, which might murices disaster. He did not, however, think there had been that explanation given on the part of the ticket inspector which might have been given to the defendants; but railway passengers ought to know that whenever their tickets are demanded they are required to show them. A refusal to do this had been made by the defendants, who would each be fined le. sad costs The money wu paid.

Up to noon no other part of the mine was explored so far es our correspon dent could ascertain.

The statement that sufficient energy was not being exer cised by those in charge is denied as being totally ground less, and an opinion is expressed that those in . °barge of the mine were best able to judge of the p prop er to be taken under the circumstances, and that were exceedingly anxious that there should be no minemessary merinos of life.—Leeds Mercury.

NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY. The report of the directors for the half-year ending 31st July, 1867, to be submitted at the half = a ril meeting in Edinburgh on the 20th inst., has been It states that in that period the addition to capital ac count, principally for new works, has bean 169,4801.2a.9e1. During the half-year 2i miles of the Camps branch and 9i miles of the Monktonhall and Ormiston branch have been opened for traffic. The other new lines and works under construction arenow all but completed, and a mate rial diminution'of expenditure under this head may there fore be looked for in the current half-year. The revenue account for the half-year to 31st July, 1867, as eomeeted with that for the half-yew to 31st duly, 1866 (as amended by the committee of investigation) shows an increase of 248491. 15s. Sd. The interest on debentures, temporary low, bank advances, debt., prepaid calls, the expenses of loans, and dividends on debenture stocks, amount in the half-year to 142,8661. 10s. 7d., and this includes Interest on capital expended on unproductive works. The balance of of revenue remaining for dividend to the shareholders is 130,5791. 15e. CeL, as against 113,591/. 2s. 7d. in the cones period of last year, or an increase of 16,988/. 11 equal to 15 per cent. The directors recommend that the above sum of 130,5791.15 a. 6d., with the balance of 1431. 9s. 3d. brought from the previous half-year, be appro priated to dividends on the several stocks enumerated in the revenue statement at page 14, which will absorb 130,666/. 15.. 2d., and that the balance of 564 9s. 7d. be carried to the credit of the current half-year. The con tinued and unavoidable application of current revenue to capital purposes renders it neetessry that the payment of the dividends be deferred, except on those stocks which possess a lien for the payment of the dividend secured to them. It is with satidaction that the directors point to the large increase of 21,849/. 15s. Bd. on the half-year's traffic receipts, and this, obtained in the face of depressed trade, affords the best evidence of the progres sive character of the undertaking. The directors, in I adverting to the parlirmeutarrprooddinp of last session, take the opportunity Of acknowledging the valuable the:jet sam afforded to them by individual shareholders in pro moting the bill for the regulation of the company's fineness. That bill proposed to authories the company to raise 1 1,875,623/. of additional share capital, and, as the shareholders are aware, it pored the committee of the House of Commons as an unopposed measure, but at every subsequent stage it met with the most determined oppo sition at the instance of one or two sb rreholders ; sad although, when it came before the committee of the Homes of Lord, its provisions were modified,power was ultimately obtained, (1) To exercise at once dormantborrowing powers of the company to the amount of 843,8501., which will not add to the authorised loan capital. (2) To raise 1,0500001. of additional capital by preference stock, bearing dividend not exceeding eight per cent., to rank after the existing preferences ; and (3) es increase the rate of dividend on the 1863 preference stock from five to six per cent. The powers so acquired will not be exercised without the pre vious sanction of the shareholders. At _present it is only proposed to authorise the directors to borrow the above mentioned rum of 843,8501. on debenture, and a resolution to that effect will be submitted, after the ordinary business of the meeting shall have been disposed of. These deben tures will not add to the capital of the company, or to the charges against revenue, am t h ey will simply take the place of debts, the interest of at present forme a burden on revenue. For investment they will afford an unexceptionable security, as the margin of surplus revenue is upwards of • quarter of • million annnally, and that mph". is continually increasing. In order to add to the security of the debentures and deben ture stocks of the company, the directors inserted in the Finance Act a clause for continuing the arrangement made by them in January last, to lay aside weekly in a separate bank account • sum sufficient to meet the interest and dividends on these. The only other act obtained by the company was to sanction certain deviations in authorised lines near Glasgow, with • view of economising land and works, and to acquire ground for a mineral depot and station accommodation at Dundee, where, at present, the company are much inconvenienced in the conduct of their goods traffic. As explained in their last report, the direc tors petitioned against **vend bills affecting the intereets of the company, and in every cars their e ff orts have bees attended with mocesa. In addition to the debts and current claims due by the company, amounting to 1,875,6251, the shareholders are aware that the company are under ob lige- Lion to construct new lined involving • further amount of 2,600,0001. It is essential to limit this liability, and at the same time maintain the independence of the company, and this the directors have kept steadily before them ; bat they do not wander en indiscriminate abandonment a works to be advisable. Accordingly, provision is made in the Finance Act for constituting certain of the unexecuted works into separate undartakinp, with • lien to the subscribing the capital over the revenue of such undertak ings. ings. It is to local parties that the directors look for sub scriptions to construct branch lines required for the accommodation of particular districts, so that it will in a great measure rest with the local interests whether or not such works shall be immediately proceeded with. The company'a involvements must, under any circumstances, be restricted, and the directors, at the proper time, will ask the authority of the shareholder to abandoc or sub stitute lees expensive works for those authorised, by which the com pa ny's liability will be materially reduced. With regard to the works which may be arranged to be prosecuted am separate undertakings the general , capital will be reduced to the extent of their cost, and the I time of completion of the residue must, in the meantime, 1 be extended, in order that th ey may he afterwards dealt with as thesliareholders shall determine. With the view of enabling the shareholders to judge of the benefit which will result from the Finance Act, and of its bearing on the future prosperity of the company, the directors would point out that of the 1,875,6251. of debts and current claims (which includes 300,000/. of deferred dividends due to shareholders) about 1,200,008/. to ordinary creditors are now due, and that a considerable part of the balance will became payable within the next twelve months. Were the 843,8501.0 f debentures,authorised under the act, issued now, end the money applied in liquidation of ordinary creditors' debts, the amount due to them would be reduced to 356,0001., or about three months' gross earnings of the railway. Tina is no serious amount to be provided fir, and to its early liquidation and the resumption of cash dividends the directors will give their best attention. Pos sessed of a system of great sd increasing resources, they I sees at, that, with careful attention to the develop- ' ment of the traffic, a strict supervision of the working ex penses, and acting in concert with other companies in establishing friendly relations for the interchange of traffic, the North British Company will soon surmount all its difficulties.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—ERADPORD, Bzpv. 12. The market to-day is almost the counterpart of that of Monday. There is little alteration in any respect from the business of that day, although, as compared with last Thursday, there would seem to be a slight falling off in she amount of business done. Buyers of wool hold aloof as much as possible, and try to effect a slight concession. Prices, however, are maintained with tolerable firmness, dthough there are instances where tramactions have been effected at • shade lees In worsted yarns there is the same want of animation. Export buyers seem to restrict their purchaus to the utmost. Offers in small quantities, at low prime, have been made from abroad. Spinners, who are getting sleek, are not unwilling, in some insancea ; to make a slight concession in price. There is little new business doing on home account. The piece trade also remain. in a torpid con dition, and very little is doing on ei th er American, conti nental, or home account, with a softening tendency in quotations. There are some manufacturers ready to make • slight sacrifice to induce • customer to do business. LICE AND HOSlERY.—Normanut, SKIT. 12. The lace trade is still in • very depressed state, and prices of the raw material and of brown nets are again alqihtly giving way. There is no improvement yet in the poll •E, and commercial accounts from America. There are a few German buyers over, but their purchases are insignificant. In the hosiery trade there has been a alight rally, but the general tone ts rather quiet and yarns have again given way. Orders are given from hand to mouth to meet a mere retail demand. —.
