Janes Woods, who planted guilty to having, at Liver pool, on the 20th July, 1885, eminently permeated one John Bradshaw Brucilitt, at the &ration for Borth Lae. cashiu, was brought up for sentence before Mr. Heron Bramwell on Siturday. Hie lordship said it appeared that the prisoner bad boastsd that he bad often dose the awe Shia, before. The offence was • very great one, for it was • breach of a most important low. It was as awe which might deprive • man of that which he had • right to, newly, the representation of those who %ad fairly elicited him by • majority, besides putting him to an enormous amount of expanse in detecting the fraud. It was both • public sad • private wrong. It was ea offence wily wt. mitted and not easily deteeted. Wherever • man s coo minim did not help to punish him for the (rime he bad omomittad, it samitod to him (the fudge) that the law ought so step in and impose • severer punishment than it other wise would. Taking all the circurostanere into consideration, he sentenced the prisoner to three mouths' imprisonment with hard labour. LONDON, 01147'11AD AND Dorsa RAILWAY. • - • The report te-lio-eulnnitted to the half-yearly meetiog ou Thursday lc that the receipts for the he If -peer have amounted to I 6181. 18s. ; being an increase of 21,4111. 166 10d., or 17. 0 pee cent. upon the receipts of the onmaponding half of 1864. The length of railway opened in both periods was 72g miles ; and the average receipts per mile is the hell-year have been 2,0221. es. 7°L, as against 1,7261. in tee corresponding half of 1864. The receipts of the meirnp , litan extension for the half-year have amounted to 51,5631. ss. Id., which is an Increase of 20,148/. 3e. 81., or 64.25 per cent. upon of these of the _ ay open period of 1864. The miles railway open for the half-you. were 11g, being • Quarter of a mile more than in 1864, and the average motets per mile is the two periods have bees 4,3331. 54. in 1863, and 2,7281. 10e. 63. in 1644. The gross receipts upon all the Uses owned and worked by the company during the half-year have amounted to 190.3401. La. 3d., and the gross working expense, have beat 125,3746 Os. ed. The proportion of expenditure to receipts on the whole system has been at the re's of 65.86 pet cost The receipts on the general undertaking having been 146,6181. 18s., and the working expanses chargeable to it 111,9621. Is. Bd., the proportion of working expenses to receipts ie the acamat of the general undertaking bee been 76.36 per met The receipts of the steam boats for the half-year have been 27,0831. 21. 1 1 11, and the expeedi. lure 20,8451. 28.8 d. Thiaincludes a sum of 2,0301., carried to the reserve and insuranoe fund, which now amounts to 13,0621. 9. sd. The balance of the revenue amount of the general undertaking amounts to 40,8941. 16e. 6d. The balance of the oorrespondieg period of 1864 was 30,3691. 17. Bd., showiog en increased profit of 10,6241. 18.. 10d. in the last half-year. The balance of the revenue account of the Metropolitan Extension amounts to 25,7511. 126 7d. The balance for the corresponding period of 1864 was 15,6771. 10a. 9d. The increased profit realised in the past half year has therefore been 10,0741. le. 10d. In com paring the results of the working of the half-year with those of the corresponding period of 1864, it is necessary to recall the oircumeantes influandes both the receipts and expenditure in the two periods. The mileage of the iteseml undertaking opened and worked wee the same; and the Dot of the receipts having increased to the extent of 21,411/. lea. 10d., may be regarded as eatidae• tory, especially whoa it le berm le mind that le the Best four months of 1864 the Victoria station was the only West-end terminus for traffic to and from Chatham, Casterbuey, Dover, the Kent coast, and the contieent, and that from the Ist May, 1864, competitive route to the West-end bas been opened. That the receipts of the gene ral undertaking should, under these circumstances, not only have been maintained, but increased in the ratio of 17 per cent., appears to be an encouraging indication of the effect likely so be predated upon the bagasse of the line when the city tertutei of the company and the direct oommuoicm tion with the lines north of London ahall have been brought into full operation. With respect to the Utak on the Metropolitan Extension, it must be observed that up to the end of May, 1864, the lies was only open as far as the Elephant and Castle. sod on the Ist of June of that year it was extended to Ellaokfriarabridge ; whereas during the last half-year the whole line has been open to Ludgate-hill, the suburban bosiams of the company having been commenced in • temporary station there on the 21st of December last. The extent of the mootemodatioe was, however, extremely limited, and it was not until let Jima, in the present year, that the main Use Maine could be worked beyond Black friars. On the bit May a portion of the goods traffic was commenced in the new premiers at the river aide. it may therefore be said that thecompasy, is the half-yeer ending 30th June, have only had a very partial use cie the extended LAM into the City ; sod the directors cannot but think that the fact of this limited use of an additional mile and a quarter of line producing an increased reoeiptof 20,148/.38.8d., or 64 per cent., is highly satisfactory. The gram expenses upon all the lines owned and worked by tie company for the half-year have been 125,3741.0. Bd., and have exceeded by 25,1561. 100. 9d. them of the eemepooding period of 1864. This apparently large increase is explained by the. °normalness attending the extension of the line and open log et Lew stations already adverted to. It covers the whole ed.'s n.l charge for six mouths of the large establishmente at In cattier", Borough-road, and Ludgate : the extra ex prone involved in running, for the aocommodatiou of the public, 76,091 train miles more than in the oorrespondieg half of 1864, and the cost of maintaining 17 miles of the Emit Coast, sod 5 miles of the Metropolitan Extension Lines, which in 1864 were kept in repair by the contractors, bet have since been taken over by the company. The experience of the working of the Metropolitan Extension in the present year has gone far to show that the enticipatio of an enormous trate were well founded. The number of passengers who have travelled upon these lines has been as under :-Half-year ending June 30, 1864: Firm class, 252,878 ; mooed class, 496647 ; third class, 2,151,787 ; total, 2,901,110. 86 Hal .year ending December 31, 1864: First class, 307,1; 'mond elms, 756,651 ; third class, 3 229,152 ; total, 4.363.664.

These large numbers of passengers have happily been carried with out accident of sny cot acclaims', or the lose of a single life. ohs, arrangeeidete have at length been agreed to botwees this company, the Great Northern Company, sod the Man• skeeter. Sheffield, and Lino°loshire Company, which, if car rigid oat, will suable this emnpsoy to have the iudepeodeut um of the line io qusehoe, and tithe MUM 80 them • route from the station of this company at March, by way of Doe outer to Wakefield, and all the great manufacturieg towns of the north of England. By the proposal arrangements this company is to bear ogre-hat[ the cost of the construction of the line now in progress from March to Spalding ; if fouod nocersary, the line between Bpelding and Linooln will be shortened at the joint expense of the two amperage • this com pany will also boar one-half the expense of the Um; sow in course of ocastrootioe by the Great Northern Company from Gainsborough to Doncaster ; and they are also to be come joint proprietors of the existing loop line from Bodd ie' to Lincoln ; the price to be paid for the same to be the subject of arbitration, sod not as is the ousel the lines now being constructed, one-half of the actual cost BY the afiree• I , meat with the.Manobester and Sheffield Company this corn posy has secured the memo of conveying their traffic from Deamster to Wakefield and the other northern districts ; sod with regard to coal, this company have the uncon trolled power to Si the rates, end as to all other traffio, the rates charged by the two companies are to be the same ; sad In the oust of any disagreement they are to be sub mitted to arbitration. I. the session of 1863 this company applied for power to construct a line from March to Spalding, she out of which, if the application had been successful, would have fallen wholly upon this c ompany ; but the rival scheme of the Great Northern Company was sanctioned by parliament, the cost of which will now be divided between the two companies, At that period the utmost privilege which this company sought was to obtain running powers ever the loop line, of which they will now have the lode pendent use, and upon terms it is believed in the result more favourable than if the company had secured running powers only over the line In question. By the present arraspniut also, the communication be tween the lines of this company and the nor th ern district will be shorter b 7 many miles than it would have beau had they succeeded in securing the formation of their projected line from March to Spalding, and mania* powers over the loop line, as then constructed, as a considerable saving is effected by the new line from Gainsborongh to Doncaster, which will be further hi:rased by the formation of • now Use between Spalding and Lecolo. The directors, there fore, trust that the arrangements they have entered into will meet with the approbation of the shareholders, ea although they would undoubtedly have preferred a line of their own, commnaicating with the north, it most be borne in mind that the application for power to mike such • boo would have been strenuously resisted by the Great Northern Company, possibly might not have bees successful, and at all eveuts must have entailed • delay of some three or four years be fore the new line could come into practical operation, whereas under the present agreement this company will be in • positioa to apes up this traffic in the spring of next year. After referring to the railway Iscisi•tion of the lest 1161111iOn, the report says :—lterriewmg the whole circumstances, pointing to the solid advantages which musk eventually dew to this company from the ex tension of their system to the north, the profitable future working of the continental tramp, the increase of suburban trims to be anticipated ea the completiou of the new metropolitan terminus, and the fact that this company is on amicable terms with all its neighbours, the directors feel that they are justified in congratulating the shareholders epos the future prospects of the undertaking. AU that is required is au united board to give their subdi vided attention to the development of the roosters of the company, adonis' the strictest economy with due efficiency, and a prosperous future may be fairly aotici pated. The directors can only express their regret that differences should have arisen with a member of their board. That gentleman (Captain Jervis, M.P..) lies thought right to bring his alleged grounds of complaint before the shareholders, and the directors have given what they believe to be • satisfactory answer to them. Three of your directors, viz., Memos. Love, Puke, and Smyth, retire by rotative, and being eligible, offer them selves for re-election at this meeting. A vacancy has been ceased by the retiremeut of Mr. Josiah Smith Walla which is to be filled up at the presoak nieetieg.

The report to be preset,: etl at the extraordinary general meeting on the sth of Emitember states that the gross !receipts of the company from all sources Is the half year eudtog 30th Jane, 186% were 302,956/. 15s. ; in the 88 cor responding peeled of 11 they were 302,6561. 154. 2d.- showing an increase of 2991. 19,. 10d. The half-year of 1864 being, however, leap year, had the advantage of en additional dey's receipts. equal to about 1,3501. AD equit able comparison of the two half years would therefore show en increase equal to 1,6491. 19s. 10d. During the three winter months of the hall-year the hallo was very greatly interfered with by the inclemency of tin weather, which on several days almost brought the service to a standstill • but the loss thus occasioned was more titan counterbalance d by the excellent traffic which followed as the 'moo advanced. The gross expenditure of the company einriog the half-year 1865 was 274,220/. 14 was 26' 85. 4d. • that in the corresponding period of 186 7,1821. 9s. lid. ; showing an increase of 7,0381. Ba. sd. This arless under the following heeds, viz. :-Maiziteueztos of horses, 2,9051. 6a. 4d. • provender , 6,5011. 16e. ld.; shoeing, 9191. 17a. Bd. • u;skieg together, 10,3271.01. Id. There was a reduction in ' the total of allother expenses equal to 3,2681. I la. Bd. The inereateed expenditure for rosin tenance of horses and for shoeing wee estirely attributable to the long and trying winter, which formed so strong a coattail to that of 1864. It reed hardly be stated that daring the existence of frozen roads losses of hones by falls sad other accidents become very numerous, that heavy snow greatly harems the labour of drawing the omni buses, and that influenza and other sicknesses are the natural result of extreme fatigue, coupled with expo. sore to wet and cold. Binh were the difficnlties of the past winter with which the stock had to contend, but in all probability the effect of this would have been °moms timely light but for the hot weather which suddenly set in immediately afterwards and continued throughout the sum mer, depriving the stock of the opportunity of recovery which is generally afforded by the spring season. The whiter was one of extreme anxiety to the directors, but they find with satisfaction that, notwithstanding the elms over the corresponding half-year of 1864, the cost of maintenance bears favourable comparison with previous accounts. With regard to the item • shoeing," the share holders are no doubt aware that " roughing," which is rendered necessary by the existence of ice and snow upon the roads, is a costly process, tending materially to ineresse the shoeing expenses. The increase in the cost of pro vender is fully accounted for by the state of the markets, sad it is a matter over which your directors can exercise DO other control than that of making as good a ipro vision as possible in anticipation of high prim. excess arises chiefly from the high price of hay. In anticipation of soother deer hay season, measures have been taken by the (Erectors to procure some portion of the company's requirements from a port on the Continent where the recent harvest has been very abundant. It is not anticipated that the prices of grain or straw will be unfavourable to the company's interests during the coming winter. The number of passengers carried during the half. year was 21,364,957 ; the number of miles run was 6,029,801; the avenge number of omnibuses working daily. 592 ; the average number of horses working daily, 6,364 ; the aversge receipts per mile run, Is. ; the average fare per passenger, 30. ; the average gross earn ings per omnibus per day, 21. 16s. bid. Dwieg the half-year the sum of 1,3801. ss. ad. was ex pended in the purchase of a lease of land in Look's-fields. Walworth, and the creation thereon of new stables, and in some minor works on other pewees. A farther stun of 6681. 14s. lid, was laid out in the porebase of the goodwill of additional basica, on the Victoriwatation Kit bura, bora, and Paddington - road , and the Old Fo rd-road, which have from the date of purchase yielded an excellent return for the money invested. The number of hones beloogiog to the company on 30th Julie was 6,790. The Chancellor of the Eachequer, in pro dutnug his budget for the current year, said, " T he claim for the abolition or reduction of the duties on public eon veyanoes is one for'which there is much to be said, and glad shall I be when the time comes that a favourable ear may be given to the applicants on that subject." There is, therefore, every roma to believe that the tium is not far distant when the claims of the omnibus proprietors will receive favourable consideratioe at the bands of the govern ment.

Woods, the coeoner for the western division of the county, he d an inquest at the convict prison, Keep Hill, on the bodies of three coorieta. The cases of themselves were simple caner, end it was clear to all that the three into bad died from natural cause. ; but the investigation was a very protracted one. and lasted upwards of fine hours. It was eettleat'y the Moieties of the coroner to brim before the jury the entire system carried out in the prison, and to make them acquainted with the exact manner in which the minvicts were treated. This course was most probably adopted in consequence of the very startling statements made by a convict named Jarvis. who was convicted at the present Croydon Assizes of stabbing a Scripture reader at the prise°. The governor (Captain Warren), the surgeon (Dr. Campbell), the assistant surgeon (Mr. Blake* the chaplain (Rev. Mr. Blathwayte), with other racers and several convicts, were summoned as witneues, and examined on the different points men tined by Jarvis, and in no instance was anything adduced which corroborated a single particle of his extraordinary story. The bill of fare for each day was submitted to the jury, and excited their astonishment, clearly evidencing that the cc:micas fared better than the hardwolkieg men outside the walls; whilst the dietary_ of the poor in the different unions is not more than half as substantial. The dietary for sick convicts is exceedingly libels!, sod they are allowed comforts which nien in a respectable condition in society scarcely expect to es joy, inoludieg, for example, steaks, chops, jollier, wines, and other luxuries. When is the refractory cells convicts are expected to reply to the warder every three hours, and if they do not give nom reply to his summons they ate visited be two warders. Thee is adopted in consequesee of the prevalence°, suicides amongst the refractory gaol-bird'. Of the abominable °fleeces so frequently alluded to by Jarvis, it appears that there is only cue o w on the prison records. The impression which existed in the minds of the whole of the jury appeared to be that the convicts WWI) too well treated by half, and that they fared much better than the mechanics and labourers who contribute to main tain these gently is idleness. The jury retuned a verdict of "Died from natural causes" in each of the oases shaded. to, sod they were then discharged.

As compared with the oorrespooding period of 1864 the revenue saionet shows an increase of 26,5351. 16s. 11d. The net balance available for dividend fur the half-year, theluding the balsoce of 9601 . 7 s. 9d., carried over on the previous half-year, is 43,4081. 16a, Id., which will provide a dividend for the past half-year at the rate of 1 per sent. per annum on the ordinary stock of the company, ' leaving a balance of 1,7311. 3s. 111 to be carried forward to the next account. This available Induce is lase than the batons for the corresponding period of last year by the sum of 9,2481. 10s. 6d., a deficiency which has been mainly ec heloned by an increase in the expenditure for the goods brake charges, which exceeded those of the corresponding period of lest year by the sum of 11,3511. The tweeters entirely coulter in the opinion expressed by Mr. Moseley, the trot% manager, that when he is in • poultice •e• give his undivided attention to the traffic arrangemeate of the corn. petty the expenditure in his department will be greatly re dared. Is addition to this Moreau in the expense of working the goods traffic, the directors regret that the amount changed en compensation for injuries to pea sensors exceeds by 3,5004. the charge on the like ac count for the oorrespooding half-year of 1864. But for these exceptional charges, end aotwithetandirig the increase in the charge for interest, the directors would haws been enabled to declare a dividend clue! to that of the corre sponding period of 1864. It is, however, to be ob weed that in the prenot animate the direc tor. have, as on previous °wagons charged to the capital account the interest upon the sto ck for the purpose of meeting the payments in respect of I.ues end works in course of construction, but nut yet is &Ode for traffic, to the amount of 18.:1371.18s. 4d. The di i‘..tois believe that this course is generally adopted by o tie railway companies, although it is in some cases provided for by an arrangement with the contractor, who in that case of course adds it to his contract price, and thus it becomes a charge upon capital ; or other modes are resorted to which end to the same result. If, however, the shareholders are of opinion that the whole 'mount should be charged to 419•011110, the divisible fund willed' course be diminished to that extent. The directors have at length the satisfaction of being able to state that the new lines from Sudbury to Clare, BlieUord, and Bury St. Edmunds have now been opened for public traffic; and they have reason to believe that not only will this iseressed accommodation give great Was faction to the district through which it is carried, but that it will materially increase the company's receipts. Is the last report the directors stated that they bad made arrange ment, with the Issocashire and Yorkshire Commie, for the purpose of carrying out, in canjuuctioo with that company, the formatioa of a line el railway which would secure to this company an uninterrupted cominuoicatiou with the north, an object which the directors have lung felt, end often expressed, to be absolutely essential to the full development of the company's traffic. In accordance with this arrangement • bill was introduced into parliament in the last session for mu-eying it into effect, but the directors regret to state that she measure encountered so serious an opposition in the Howe ot Com mons, upoe the second reading, on the part of the Groat Northern Company, that the bill was thrown out, and this important messier, was therefore necessarily delayed to a future mashie, unless some amicable arrangement for effect , jog the same object could in the meantime be made with the Great Northers Company. The feeling of the directors ' was in the first instance to maw an arraogetuent with the Lancashire sad Yorkshire Company, but, after considerable dummies sod oonsideration, that company declined to co-operate with this company upon the footing of their memos agreement.

The weather of the past, week has been again of • Ireacherous character ; now and then full sunshine, and most smart showers, anything but propitious to the hmrvegt big of the grain. As might be expected, there are already eomplainta of sprouting and mildew, and the mew samples that have hitherto appeared do not favour the impression that we have either a good yield or quality. With snob a retching time on prime so low, sod the country in • perfect Mato of alarm about the cattle disease, it is not to be ear prised that we are able to note • further advance of fully 2s. per quarter on the average, and some places noted doubly as mach. But the rates hitherto reached have only • moderate range, and as the British farmer dueler the cotton famine was feeding the haßeterved Lancashire moo pertly at his own expense, now that the American war is over,-some reenter ration for mut capital and fruitless Labour seems his dee. Should the cattle dismiss reach to the height of • national visitation, there is no question but a mush higher range of prima would net m ; but, as extremes of all kinds ass de• motive and injuries, we hope the threatened scourge will find • remedy, and that the grazier, as well as the termer, will be righted in the end. Foreign accounts too much with our own, as to &deed', and injured crops, to Fr much expectation of a return to very low price'. ranee, Belgium, Holland, Germany, some parts of Russia, and Southern Europe, all tell the same tale, -and prices gem rally have risen. With more-samples of new exhibited etl'eris, some dolmas has appeared ; but in the country prices have piaed ground, and all along the Baltic there is a different range-Dantsio holding, as we expected, for fully 4s. per qr. more mosey ; and although aliellee in gold at New York has been followed by • slight reduction in brielituffs, the facts of Western failure and Southern discontent show that the Uni or rather Federal States will be • rig uncertain in ease of extremity. The arrivals ' off the coast sines the 11th Angustwere 81 cargoes, of which 40 cargoes were wheat, 21 maize, and 17 barley.

The show of samples during the morning was limited, with a good portion of pew, in damp condition mostly, sod of poor quality. This was generally neglected, but lies old sold slowly at an advance of la. to 2s. per quarter, there being no improvement cm Friday's rates. Foreign was in better demand. and Russian qua. I lair were fully 2a. per %tarter dearer. Floatieg cargoes were held at Is. to per quarter improvement, with a fair demand. On Wedneadity there were 260 qre. per carat, 2,690 qrs. foreign. The business of thin day, with doubtful weather, was very firm for fine old wheat, but dull for new and damp samples, with prices much as on Monday. The foreign trade was very steady, and full prima were demanded for all fresh end goadmo ditiosed qualities. Friday's returns were 310 qrs. per mad, 3,940 qrs. foreign. The morning being remarkably fine, there was evidently tome slackening in the trade, and to have forced sales either of old or new wheat would have caused some decline. Foreign holders found little inquiry at the high prices demanded. There was an average supply of country flour on Monday, bat scarcely any for sign. All country qualities were Ia per sack higher.

Friday's gmatilies ca.teimi were 1,210 seeks, with 720 Backe 6,3 bands foreign. ilia was • dull day, buyers objecting to the high pretences of holders, and the latter being very confident and firm in their demands. There was very little English barley at Mark-lane on Monday, end - the foreign arrivals were small. Malting qualities sod all heavy Billie advanced la. per quarter, and the lower descriptions of anodize' win improved Bd. per courser. Oa Wednesday Mere wore 30 quarter per coast, 350 guanaco linage, without much doing; low sorts were fully as dear, as maim the better qualities. Friday's returns were 30 qrs. coastwise, 1,550 qrs. foreign. No improvement could then be noted is the valued Baltic samples, but holders of Black Sal qualities were asking 6d. per qr. more mosey. The malt trade was rather dearer on Jimmy, say tally la. per qr. for fine sorts, from the doubt ful state of the barley crop. The week closed with prices very firm. Though the supply of oats from the United Kingdom was scanty, there were again heavy foreign arrivals. The unfavourable state of the weather gave an ;inward turn to pries' to the extent of fully 6d. per qr. no all descriptions, and in fresh qualities there was a felt sale. On Wednesday them ware 140 qra per mast, no Irish, 33,720 qrs. foreign.

There was the, leas buoyancy in the trade, but RUMBA delay , loos were generally held at fall prime, though Swedish and Danish qualities were no dearer.

Winter tares were more plentiful, and scarcely supported previous rates; but rapeseed, mustardsesd, sod Comfy were fully as dear. With very catching weather in the wintry, and farmers meetly busy ia the fields, supplies of wheat were scanty, and prime were geserally 2e. to 3s. per quarter dearer, and io some instances rather mere than this was paid ; but with the price, as it were, turning with the trade, but little reliance could be placed on any market.
