Alderman Hale inked who Smith, Barry, and Co. were' Wavell, from Stubte's Trade Protection Society, who happened to be in attendance upon other matters, said he could give the court seem infornuetion on the subject, as the Inn of Smith, Hairy, and Co. hail been repeatedly de nounced as swindlers in their (Stublie's) Graxite. There was oo such person as Smith in the firm, and Barry was a certain Captain Barr, who was recently brought up as an insolvent priesier at Lewes. Another person connected with the firm was a Joe. Magarigle, who was a person of no charm-tee, and aumetime traded in the name of Magarigle and Co. Smith, Barry, and Co. were Ent establishedat Fenchuruh.streek but although their adopted name. were so similar, it was important that the public should know that they were is so way connected with the highly I inspectable tirm of W.

Alderman Hale said he recollected some months ago an exposure tot place at one of the courts relative to the un warrmitsble use of the name of a respectable inn in nut chunhiarvit. He was afraid applicant's money was gone, for he could do nothing for him unless he could prove there was collusion betweeu Ridgeway and Cooper and Co. and Smith. Rirry. and Co. Applicant mid be was afraid so ton, hut as there were six Ober youug men who hat been traded in the same way he thought it was only right to expose the parties and the grim to put other pumas on their guard spinet such •olarious practices. He could not prove that South, Barry, and Co. and Ridgeway were acting in collusion, but there WY Co doubt they bad his wormy between them.

Alderman Hale said be would rezommend applicant to apply to some respectable solicitor, who would advise iu what way to proceed against the parties. At present he could nut interfere, but be had no doubt publicity would effect more good in cautioning others than pitaislung these parties, even if the law could reach them. CLERIUSWELL. Mrs. E.

He went on the night of the 4th instant to the defendant's house—only two rooms. He found six beds, and twelve persons sleeping therein. Eleven of them paid thi. a week. Mr. Combe asked what condition the place was in ! Saunders replied that it was very dirty, and the walls were bmilten down. The doors were also in a filthy state. The defendant said he had not considered his house a lodging•house under the meaning of the act of parliament, se all his lodgers paid him weekly. Mr. Caul* told him he was mistaken. His was is com mon lodging-house. and such a system could not be tole rated. Here were twelve persons sleeping in two dirty morns in a confin,l sistoe. detrimental to health, and likely to engender fever and the worst of disease. He should not be doing his duty unless he indicted the full penalty of 5/., or two month,' imprisonment. The defendant said he could not pay the fine. Mr. Combe —Then you must go to !risen, and I hope it will act as a caution to you and other lodging•housekeepers for the future. GREAT CENTRAL GAS CONSUMERS COMPANY. The twenty-first half-yearly ordinary meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at the London Tavern last evening ; Mr. Alderman ILtare in the chair. The report of the directors, which was taken as read, con tained the following statements : " The directors beg to submit to the consideration of the shareholders the balance-sheet and revenue account of the company for the sax months ending the 30th of June last. From these documents it will be seen that the rental of the company. as compiled with the corresponding Wilmer of 1/400, bee Mamma to the extant of 1.4111., and that the receipts from coke and other product' show an increase of 3.7361. IX 71, with a 1103411 increase in the cost of coal : these results eualile your directors to recommend that a dividend at the rate of six per cent. per annum, free of in come tax, be paid on and after the 20th day of November next, kering a balance of 1,1881. 10s. lid., to the credit of the next half-yeses account, in addition to which • sum of 5,000/. is provided in part payment of the verdict submitted to in the actions brought on account of the Wood-street fire. The shareholders will have learnt from the public journals the result of the late trials. New and unexpected evidence was brought forward, and your board, having anx iously considered the ease as presented to the jury, acted on the strongly expressed advice of their eminent counsel and solicitors, and compromised the actions by consenting to the following verdict, which is in full discharge of all claims ' It is ordered by the court, by and with the commit of the parties, their counsel and attorneys, a juror be withdrawn in each of the actions, and that the defendants do pay to the plaintiffs or their attorneys the SUM of 25,01.10/., and the costa to be taxed in each action. It is also ordered by and with the like consent, that the costa are to be paid within six months from the date of this order, and that the defendants are to pay 2,500/., part of the 2i,0001., in six menthe from the date of this order ; 3,500/., other part, in twelve months from the date of this order ; and the residue of the 25,01 Mr. by four equal instalments, on the Ist day of July in each of the following that is to say. 1863, legit, 1865, and 1866.' L ea ea n 4 as is this amount, it would have been probably more than doubled if the use had gone to the jury, and the ver dict had been adverse, besides which further litigation would have followed, and three arbitrations to fix the precise amount to be paid, causing great expense, anxiety, and interruption to business. As the verdict now steed., payment being divided over several years, it is a manage. able evil, and your directors trust that by economy and attention your proper dividends will not long he died oished. In the report presented in October, 11460, you were informed that owing to the contract of the company with the Coinmirsiouens of Sewers, the act for regulating the supply of gas to the metropolis did not necessarily come into immediate operation. On the lat of February next that contract is by the 36th clause of the act put au end to, and the company would then of necessity come under its obligations. The let of February would have been an inconvenient time for making the change, being the heaviest period of supply, and it was necessary in making our new coal contract in place of that which expired in August, to have a better quality of coal, in order to meet the requirements of the greater illumi nating power which is imposed by the new act under heavy penalties. We therefore gave notice to all our coosumers that the change would take place at Michaelmas List, and yaw directors have every reason to believe that, as the increased price under the DOW act will be moompanied by • larger corresponding increase of illu minating power as compared with the original act of the company, the consumers will have no reason to regret the change, which was nut 'ought by your directors, but Un posed upon them by parliament at the instance of the dele gates from the metropolitan boards and parishes. As your directors will want funds to pay for some necessary o:tou gh:MS to meet the payments required by the verdict in the fire in Wood-street, and likewise for working capital, as their present coal contract stipulates for mall payments, they recommend that az, issue of shares shall take place on the lot of January, 1802. The present share capital of the companyaid up is 172,1601., leaving uncalled the amount sanctioned by parliament, 23,140/. Of this sum they re commend that 17,210 e. be raised by the issue of 1,721 shares at par to the present shareholders, which will give one new share for every ten shares held by them." After some further discus ion. principally en matters of detail, the motion for the adoption of the report was put and carried, and • dividend at the rate of six per cent. pee annum, free of income tax, was declared. Mr. Alderman CAMEL then moved • resolution autho rising the issue of 1,721 new shares to the present share holders ; those shareholders not holding ten shares being paid 4s. per sham Mr. Austin seconded. Mr. KELLY said he thought the additional capital was ant required. When the districting took place there would be no need of extensions. and the chairman bad stated it was intended to pay for the Woodatreet fire out of revenue, and be moved as an amendment that no additional capital be raised. The CHAIRMAN observed that Mr. Kelly had left out of view tho fact that they would require 5,0001. • mouth for the next throe months, ready money, for coal. The amendment was then put, but only two hands were held up for it, sod of course it was lost. The original motion was then agreed to, and a vote of thanks having been given to the chairman and chrectors, the meeting separated.

THE EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF FIVE LIVES AT BALLINCOLLIU. On Wednesday evening Mr. Coroner Honahao held an inquest on the bodies of the three men found—Long, Mer rick, and Davidson. Mr. David Somerville deposed that he was connected with the powder mills for the last 2f pairs, skull WAS at present superintendent over the works. Knew the shimmied for years—some of them for nearly 22 years. They were five of the steadiest men in the establishment. Sew them last alive at six o'clock that rouruiug, when they landed before him, and were examined. That was prior to their pro. carding to their work. Did not observe anything unusual about them. They were all tit for their business. They were told to go to No. 2 press-hawse. They had been for the three past days of the week, and for some time befora, employed at the mania place and at similar work. They understood their work well. There was a foreman in the house. He is missing, and witness presumes he was in the house when the accident occurred. His duty was to superintend the other men. Witness visited the house about is o'clock that morning, when the five men were in the house awl at work. At that time they were preside powder. The house was in perfect order, and witness (maid everything to his satisfaction. Witness was speaking to the foreman then for some time. Asked him whetherall wearied, and he said yes, and that his machinery was all oiled ; wit ness examined it, and found it was so ; the house had not its full work to do that day, as other parts of the works had been stopped by back water ; the deceased went in to do some work, in order that there might be no arrears ; at about 10 minutes before twelve o'clock that day was in the works yard, when witness heard a report like that of SA explosion ; it was so slight that he thought it was one of the composition mills, and ran towards them ; saw others running towards them too ; then found that the explosion occurred in the western part of the concern, and made his way towards it as fast as possible ; found this prees.bousein ruins ; saw the three bodies the subject of this inquiry there ; they were lying at different dietaocesfrom the scene of thee:- plosion ; they were dead. Th e bodies were in a mutilated state. Has no doubt that the state they were in was mused by the explosion. The foreman of the house, and whose body has not yet been found, was for over twenty years working at powder. No trace of the other two men that were in the house at the timed the explosion has as yet been found. The river and the canal had been dragged close by, hut without finding them. Witness intended to net the river next morning to search for the bodies. Other evidence having been offered, the jury returned a verdict—" That the deceased lost their lives by an explo sion at the Sallincollig _powder mills, but how the explo- Mon occurred they cool not my." 7301 f LAST NIGHTS GAZETTE.

COTTON.— L1%710.001., Ocr. 23.—The daily transactions of the week have been large, prices at the seine time gra dually advancing, and closing thmly at Id. per lb. higher for American. Brazils are id,. to higher ; Egyptian, to I id. per lb. ; and Surat, id. to id. ; the latter are now going largely into consumption, and chit week's sales at them exceed in extent any previous week on record. Speculators have taken 34,340 bales of American, 1,210 Nicol°, 680 Egyptians, and 45,b60 Berate ; exporters, 1,510 American, and 11,320 Borate ; and the trade, 50,860 bides. There are at Ma for this port no American, but 136,666 Berate against 26,744 American, and 33,140 Bunts same time last year. The sales today are estimated at 20,000 bales, with a very strong market.

The cloth trade is contracting within the narrowest limits. In a general way manufacturers fiat it impo.sible to get anything lake remunerative price., nod those with capital ale either stocking their goods with the intention of holding them for higher prices, or are quietly working op their cotton with the intention of locking up their milk The smeller manufacturers, self-made who have started within the last few years of prosperity, with a limited capital, are of course obliged to sell, mid stopping with these means winding up their concerns finally. With such, in many cases, the prices of Carus being within the smallest fraction of what they can twine for cloth, the alternative is being resorted to continually, and we hear of many of them closing or being about to close their mills. Yet, generally speaking, we find no unsoundness, the good trade for some years past having placed manufacturers in a position to meet the present crisis. With regard to the cloth market to-day, we hear of hardly any business doing. Manufacturers continue to ask higher prices, endeavouring to follow the rise in the price of cotton, but unfortunately not finding buyers in the same spirit. Advances are given in a few instancei for favourite makes of cloth, and not in large supply, but these are only exoeptional cases. We bearof rather more doing in shirting for India and China shirting' in some quartets, bat the aggregate business done has been nothing to speak of, even as compared with the present limited production. The yarn market continues very strong. Prices have daily advanced since Tuesday, and are now id. per lb. dearer all round. By wine houses this advance is freely paid, whiht others are asking from ld. to 2d. per lb., and some refuse to sell at all at the terms practicable. Spinners appear ti adhere to their prices with more firmness than ever, and buyers are operating pretty freely where anything is offeml under extreme rates. CORN.—BawroL, OCT. 24. —At our market there was • moderate supply of English wheat, which sold slowly at last week's rates. Foreign firmly held, but few transactions re ported. There has been a considerable business . peasi•g in malting barley through the past week at improving prices ; to-day the high pretensions of holders somewhatchecked busi ness, and the trade closed dull at as advance of Is. to 2s. per. qr. grinding without change.

OCT. 25.—There wee only a mmodemts supply of wheat at our roaket to-day, and a fix demand at rather over last week's rates, best reds making 625. to 645. ; white, 645. to 665. ; extra, 675. Beaus, Is. to 2s. dearer. Barley, best malting rather dearer, making 395. to 42a. . _ LINCOLN, Ocr. 25.—With a small supply of wheat our market was firm at last week's rates. Bed 595. to 62, ; white, 625. to 665. Barley was Is. higher for melting, but grinding was the same as last week, 355. to 40s. Very litt:e passing in beans and oats at late rates. LIVERPOOL, Ocr. 25.—At this day's market wheat suf. fered a further slight reduction, bringing quotations 3d. per cental below last Friday, and at this decline a fair business resulted. Fine qualities of flour, from scarcity, were difficult to be bad cheaper, but inferior grades were 61. per barrel against seller. Indian corn had a good inquiry both for cos sumptiou and to hold over at the decline of Is. per quarter noted above. Oats and oatmeal steady at extreme prices. Egyptian beans have given way Is. per quarter, and peas gone up la Indian corn has been thu article in moat de mand to4lay, and prime mixed has brought 3d.. ex quay without di ffi culty, and at the close of market it was held for 33a. 6d. WAKEFIELD, OCT. 25.—The wheat trade is dull, nod, there being a good show to-day, millers are able to buy even the finest new wheat on rather easier terms, while the general run must be quoted Is. per quarter lower than List Friday. Old is unchanged in value, but the demand is limited to good and sound parcels. Barley is held for the extreme rates of last week but =haters take only the finer sorts. Beans, oats, and ;belling unchanged. Aveine, week ending Oct. 21 :—Wheat, 4,65 U quarters, at 595. 3d. ; barley, 1,331, at 37a. lid. rye, 5, at 33a. ; beaus, 42, at 455. ; pease, 50, at 303;.
