The half -yearl interest, due the lat February, on Havana and Martaoao Railway Seven per Cent. Bonds, is announced for payment by Messrs. Ca van, Lubbock, and Co. The coupons Line in February as the Bonds of the Delaware and Raritan Canal and Camden and Amboy Railroad and Transportation Companies are announced for payment in due course. It is said that governmii*t seriously contemplate taking some action under 00 . Railway Act of 1844, which empowers them, on certain terms, to buy up more or less of the railway property in the country. A select committee will, in all probability, inveeth gate the question next session ; but it is competent to the Treasury, under the Act mentioned, to effect purchases at the proper time without resorting to fresh powers from the legislature. As, however, the requisite three months notice cannot be given to any company until the 25th of October next, it follows that no purchase of railway property by the state can be effected until the 25th of *January, 1866. This delay will probably redound to the advan tage of the better placed companies, and be disad vantageous to the government. The scale of purchase is fixed by the act "upon payment of a sum equal to 25 years' purchase of the annual divisible profits, estimated on the average of the three then next froleitnileyglant-." Th o e s, yweribtoogotelen, th 864, ere fore, 1866. It is clear that the annually increasing dividends of the better lines will raise the average from which the price must be stilts*. For ex ample, the London and North Western on the whole year 1863 paid 51 per cent. Assuming that it pays, as some persons venture to hope, a dividend at the rate of 7 per 'omit per annum for the half year now ended, the total dividends for the whole year 1864 would be q per oent. ; while, if the divi dend for the year 1865 be 6 per cent, there would be 18 per cent in three years, or an average of 6 per cent. Applying the condition of 25 years' purchase, the price to the crown of London and North Western stock in January, 1866, would be 160. The price of Midland stock and of some l l other lines would improve proportionately ; while the effect on that of one or two less improving lines, like Great ^' , atern. might be more doubtful. It lappears more probable thai fed make the experiment with one or two main lines more stable in character in the first instance. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is said to see a source of revenue in the transaction which might admit of a prospective reduction of other burdens. The clause in the act of 1844 lass follows : 2. That whatever may be the rate el divisible profits in say snob railway, it shall be lawful for the Lords Commie isnme, it they shell think fit, at any time slur the expl• sass ci the said term of twenty-ore years, to purchase say such railway, with ell its hereditaments, stock, and ap purtenances, in the name and on behalf of her Maferty, apes giving to the mid company three calendar months nudes la waist of their intentime, sod upon payment of a di seln i zed to twenty-five yeses' parobase of the mid annual mod* estimated on the average of the three then seat pnanding.years.

THE DARING SWINDLE AT SHREWSBURY. Thomas Ellis, alias John Morgan, the man charged with swinding Mr. Charles Ashworth, at Shrews bury, wee examined at Shrewsbury yesterday. The crowd outside the Guildhall was immense, and so great was the rush to get into the Nisi Prins Court, where the inquiry was held, on the °paring of the doors, a few minutes before eleven o'clock, that it is marvellous some serious accident did not occur. Mr. Peels, town clerk of Shrews bury, appeared to prosecute. The evidenoe adduced simply detailed what Laa already appeared in our °plumes. The most extraordinary part of the proceedings, yesterday, wee the statement made by the prisoner, who said :—" f plead guilty to stealing the money. The warrant was an old war rant of the county of Bream, which I found most some papers belonging to one of the °Mous now at Swansea gaol ; and if the police and the gentlemen on the bench on the day on which Mr. Ashworth was remanded had read it they would have found out that It was dated 1851. I sWili decline to produce that warrant at present; but shall do so at some future day. The beading for that warrant I did slier for the borough of Carmarthen. Before it was for the county of Bream I did not take much sotice of it afterwards, till I came to the court that day. I then found that I had forgotten to alter the bottom of it. It stood oonsevently directed to the police-officers of the county of Brecon. I have only to add that the polioeconstablee were excessively negligent, or they would have detected me at once. I am quite a cripple ; and I always thought it was necessary that a policeman should not labour under any such defect. The way I carried on after I had apprehended Mr. Ashworth, ought to have induced a suspicion in the minds of the police, six or eight of which I treated with rum and brandy. I gave myself up." Mr. Poole, at the emiclusion of the prisoner's statement, said he would like to suggest ' that the preescution should be carried on at the I expense of the borough, and that Mr. Ashworth should not be put to the trouble and expense. As the legal representative of the corporation, he should do his best to see it carried out fully and faithfully as a public duty. With respect to what the premier had said about the date of the warrant, he believed that the trial would disclose that that statement was. like all his others, a tissue of falsehoods ; for he could not believe that the • magistrates could have been deceived by a document eon raining such extraordinary mistekaa. The Mayor then for mally committed the prisoner for trial at the mixes. On one of the magistrates who took rather a prominent part when Ellis preferred the charge against Mr. Ashworth, leaving the court, the crowd outside the hall hooted him to such an extent that he was glad to take refuge in a neigh bouring building. It seems that on the 28th of June last the prisoner was committed for rig calendar months to Swansea gaol, which term of imprisonment he finished serving on the 27111 of December, the very day he commenced operation at Shrewsbury.
