Oa Monday as a sessausication to Mr. Mullens, the solicitor for the prosecution, and yesterday morning I did exactly as the prisoner had directed me to do, by going to the particular places he mistimed. At ten minutes past 3 o'clock I got to the bankers, premated the cheque, and received tram • ges:lensas there • canvass bag tied up, with which I went to meet the primmer at the place appointed by his. I walked about the place for some time without seeing him ; at last, as I was standing at the corner of Theobsld's-road he came up to sae. He said, " Have you got it all right 1" I said "Yes," pointing to my breast pocket,when the bag wee. Hs said there were two men watching us, and we went on towards Hellion.

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the pro prietors of tLis railway was held yesterday at the Bristol Station, The Right Hon. Branca* WALPOLI, M.P.—the newly elected chairman of the company—who presided, opened the proceedings b 77 explaining the circumstances under whisk the late Nmsaa had retired and he had been elected his esseeesee, es gamed to in the report, and paving a warm eulogises span Mr. Russell for the seal and ability he had displayed la emadecting the business of the company, and then ceetinued—ln endeavouring to discharge the duties of the office which has been thus thrown upon me I have to request your favourable isdulgence while I lay before you the actual state of your affairs sad the causes of the deem sloe loader which the company at the present moment labours, and the ultimate prospects which we think we may fairly and reasonably say wens in view. (Hear, hear.) The report Betio.s two eireametaness deserving of observe• ties and comment which have occurred eines the Met meetieg in February—the one the falling oft in the dividend, and the other the opposition to the bill promoted in parliament by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company. With nasal nee to the mooed of these two points, you are aware that the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company were bound by parliament to lay down a broad gauge for this benefit of the public as for your benefit, Sat that they tried to escape from that obligation by introducing a bill to re lieve them from the necessity of laying down the broad gauge, although we, wider counter oblgations, were, is feet, laying down the narrow gauge over • considerable por tion of our line for their accommodation as an equivalent. We opposed that bill in self-defence. (Hear.) In fact, we had no alternative under the circumstances, and I am happy to say that that opposition has been successful. Now, how ever, that that hemming and expensive litigation is entirely over, let me say nothing that can provost peace between the two companies, or place a difficulty in the way of their obtaining those profits which by mutual agreement and harmonious working they may secure, but which if they differ will most prooably be lost to them. I trust, how ever, that in whatever arrangements may be proposed by them, we shall not be urged—or if we are urged, that your directors will not be induced to adopt any measure which shall sabjeation to immediate km, for the sake of prospec tive gain. (Hear.) 1 will now advert to the other point— the falling dividend. In this, as is all other matters of mer cantile concern, our first duty is to lock the truth fairly in the face—it is our duty to tell you the facts as they stand, and what we °Derider are the consequences likely to result from them. (Hear.) Well, the facts are plain. There can be no doubt, and I regret it as much as any one of you, that in • year and • half /our dividend has fallen from four to two per cent. (Hear.) Taking that fact in its naked reality, it might &epee, at first eight that the com pany was taking a downward instead of an one ard course; bat I believe I shall be able to satisfy you that that is not thecae. Now, the muse of the reduction in the dividend may he brought under two heads ; first, the general de pression of trade, bringing with it the stagnation, or even the diminution of railway traffic. That is one of the causes. The other is, that you have had to meet engagements incurred keg ago, but which ere brought to bear on you in one year simultaneously with thatdepression of trade and consequent =riaet treas. If the cause of this depression of trade s:maism el Malle—that is if the cause of the falling if he pot dividends Is of a permanent character, we *mad, Mimed, have to look to the future with apprehea- Moe sal ahem; lino, if I can satisfy you, as I have there'd* mailed myself, that the eases are only tem porary is Ss& shameter, then I think you may fairly Mk yourselves whether the eonsequenees resulting from this state filthier; may not be found to be temporary also. I will take the working of the line for the two last years and • half. For the June half-year of 1853 your receipts were 622,0001. in round numbers, and for the December half year 620,0001. For the June cis months of 1854 the receipts were 6201'001, and for the December half year 848,0001.; and for the past June six months they were 647,0001. Now, compering the two half years, ending Jane, 1863 and 1864, there was as increase of receipts to the extant of 98,0001., while the increase of the June hall year of 186.5 over the corresponding period of 1864, was 27,0001. ouly. For the June half year of 18.53, the expen diture was 233,0001.; and for the December six months, for the came year, 242,0001. For the June six months of 1864, the expenditure was 262,0001. ; and for the December half year, 264,0001. For the past June six months the itzlondi tare was 285,0001., making an increase of expenditure, as between the June half year of 1853 and 1854, of 2140001., and an increase as between the June half year of 1864 and 1855 of 23.0001 Compare the two sides of the account and you will perceive that, down to June, 1864, your receipts wen gradually increasing beyond your 'epee dilate ; but that, from June, 1864, to June, 1855, your receipts fell off, while your expenditure has been slightly augmented. From June, 1853, to Jane, 1851, the Wanes is favour of nett revenue was 70,0001. ; but from June, 1854, to Jane, 1855, there was a balance In favour of nett revenue of 4,0001. only. I am satisfied is my own mind that their falling off Is to be ascribed to three muse— list, to the effect of the war on trade generally an effect which has been felt on all the railways in the kingdom, sod evidenced strongly in the Board of Trade returns; secondly, the inert's*, which can merely be pat at lees than 10 per eerie, on wages and metsrials; and thirdly, the increased expenditure consequent upon the riper ing of sew lines which were sanctioned years ago, and which was neemearily incurred for the proper carrying on of the traffic of the company. I believe these causes are temporary; and had they not bean in operation, I believe that your receipts, instead of being stationary, would have been 40,0001. or 50,0001. more then they are. For these reasons, I can see no just ground for undue apprehension. You will naturally say to me, " But this does not account for the falling off in the dividend ;" and you will ask, " Supposing the traffic to have been stationary, would the dividend have been 2 per cent. less I ' A fairer question could not be put. Now, • dividend of 1 per cent. to the proprietors of the unprotected stook may be represented in round number at 82,0001. per noun, or 40,0001. for the half-year. Whet 1 have to explain to lon is why, is each of the two bal lasts, 41,00 W. has been drawn away from your dividends for December, 1864. It Is owing—first, to your 'alpine. tion with the Shrewsbury Compotes ; and secondly, es the extension of your line from Birmingham to Welverhamptoe. The amalgamation with the Shrewsbury Companies con. strand you, by the agreement you entered into with them, to gametes to their shareholders a preference dividend of 3} per tent. The Feats of the pest balf.year of the Strews bury lines fell short of 3} per cent by 34,0001., or, in other words, withie 7,0001. of 1 per cent., which latter sum might be essaidenel interest es the ezpesditare Meshed es the Madam in the essasiims. The mum e 1 the falling of of the other me per coat is attributable to the enemies; of your We from Birmingham to Wolver- hamption. If yin look to your account, you will fi nd the; cost of that extension to have been 1,900,0001. While the works were in coarse of construction, the whole of the in term on that amount was, according to railway nig', borne by capital. The line was opened In December last, sines when in a that sum, except so far as the out lay required for stations and other works for your use, has been borne by . The interest on 1,900,000 k, at 4i per cent., is 86,6001 for the year, and for the half-year 42,7601., so that the fatness on this amounts to actually more than one per cent. of dividend. The falling off of the dividend is here tally accounted for, and the only question which it appears to me can arise on this pan of the nee is, whether the policy which advo cated that amalgamation and that extensio• was a bad policy ; and, supposing that policy to be completed, whether you have any hope of improvement for the future ? Oa the tint of those questions I think it would be very ill becoming in as to give an opinion of my own. 1 was no party either to the one or the other, and, therefore, individually, I may perhaps give as unbiassed an opinion as any person In the room. Now, I think that a great deal might be said for that extension and that amalgamation. Ido not deny that a great deal may be said against them. (Hear. hear.) Allow me, however, to point out to you that it is rather hard to visit on anybody at this time the consequences of acts which were not only fully approved, but recommended lean ago. I wish to fled fault with no one, but 1 must say when I look back at the proceedings of the enra mates of consultation which was appointed by you in 1849, I find that that committee had to deal with this as well as other sabj.cts, and that they not only approved of that policy, but recommended it in the strongest terms. (Hear.) We must all of us, them, directors, proprietors, and con mitts. of consultation, bear together the blame, if blame then by, of a mistake is our commercial policy. (Hear, bear.) The passage I refer to in the report of the com mittee of ooasultation is as follows "The fourth class lion purchased by the Great Western Company at a premium of 101.55. ea mash 201. share, to be paid for on completion, com priests the Birmingham and Oxford, 32 miles, and the Bir rniegluim, Wolverhampton, and Dudley, 11 miles long. The amount already *speeded end required to complete the construction of these lines, is set forth in detail in the appendix. TheesUaes when finished will join the Oxford and Rugby line at Fenny Compton, with which they will form • continuous In., 77 miles in length , between Oxford, Bir mingham, Northampton, and Dudley, and will no doubt produce • very large amount of traffic to London and to the South and West of England, by Oxford ;" and then they further say, "The worked the Oxford and Birming ham line are iu • very advanced state, except at points when oonsiduable saving of cost may be effected by arrangements with other compinsies. Your committee strongly recommend entire completion of the worka, so as to enable the Great Weston, through the medium of these lines, to make each arrangements with other companies north of Dudley es may produce the greatest possible traffic by this route. I personally wish to express no opi as to the policy, one way or the other; still lam would I wish to throw any blame oft any penes. I find you have great difficulties to en counter and grapple with; and if the truth must be told, I Oink we are all of us more or less respossible for the filing off is the dividend, which is consequent upon the amalgamation sad extension to which I have adverted. (Hear, hear.) That being se, the questions we have to con sider an what should be your future policy with reference to this railway ; tad are these difilenlsies likely to be perma nent or temporary ? I have the authority of your board for saying, whatever may have been the policy pursued in the put, and the connquencies resulting from itobat in future you shall make the most of your existing engagements, and your present lines; secondly, to extend them is no direction whatever; thirdly, to prevent the evasion of that last resolution, not to lease, not to amal gamate with, and not to work any other lion, if by such Waging, amalgamation, or working, you ismer am immediate lose for the sake of any prospective gain. (Hear.) To these three rules or principles of conduct I which venture to submit for your consideration, I will add a fourth, which requires some guard perhaps at the present moment, that you should vigilantly watch and cheek expenditure, taking cars at the same time that you do not interfere with or diminish the proper development of your tragic by what may turn oat to be • false economy. These an the principles upon which your board have authorised me to say they hand to act; indeed, I know that those seethe principles upon which they have desired to act hoes I hays been • member of the board. (Hear, hear.) Still yea may fairly ask me, if the traffic has been so stagnant, and if the extension of our line and the amalga mation of others brought us down to a dividend of 2 per sent., what hopes can you hold out to us of better prospect' in future ? Yon will forgive me if Ido not new enter into a detailed view of all the concerns of this company. If 1 am to explain these matters in such a manner that you may be mgoodjudges of them es the directors themselves, I must ask you to give roe st least some six weeks to look iota the state cf your affairs. For, on the one hand, I should not wish to excite undue hopes, and on the other I should be much to bleats if I said anything to encourage despondesey. Bat I have some facts, and it is with Mach alone that I will deal. These I think it bet right and fair to bring before the proprietors. At the beginning of this year your receipts were less than they had been in the corresponding weeks of the former year. From April, however, the tide appeared to turn fa favour of increasing traffic, and I have extracted the receipts on year owe line and on the Shnwsbery lines daring the six weeks of the current half-year, in order to ampere them with the six weeks of the cor nspondieg half of the last year. The receipts no the Shrewsbury lines were as follows:—For the week ending July Bth, 1864, 3,1671., as compared with 3,992/. in the present year; to July 16, 1854, 2,9931. against 4,1221. in the same week in 1866; to July 22, 1864, 3,1821 easiest 4,1691. in 1866 ; to July 29, 1864, 2,9341. against 3,9931 in the same week in the present year ; to August 6, 1864, 8,2631. spinet 4,4181. in the same week this year; the din fenced to then five weeks being as between 16,6911. in 1864 and 20,6971. in 1856; and the returns of the last week, which have jest been handed to me, exhibit aa increase or 9381. ever the corresponding week of the lest year. Yoe have therefore an increase in your receipts of 1,0001. a week. There may be a corresponding expenditure to that extear, yet you may rely on a great portion of it as being sett revenue, and it the traffic goes on through the half you es it has commenced I think you may conclude that you have seen the wont of your Shrewsbury lines, and may look forward to a considerable improvement. (Hear, bear.) 1 now take up the Gnat Western proper, and will give yeas statement of poor receipts for the same weeks of 1855 as compared with 1854. In 1854, 23,7921. ; 1866, 26,0601. ; 1864, 26,1261. ; 1865, 26,8681. ; 1854, 24.0981. ; 1855, 27,6731. ; 18.54, 24,8001. ; 1856, 27,6771. ; 1864, 29,9331. ; 1866, 30,4261. ; making an increase g log 2,8001. a week since 30th Jane, 1864. (Hear, hear.) The inference to be drawn from these facts 1., I think, that supposing all other liabilities at an end, you ban seen the worst as regards traffic, and any look forward to • pro treasive development of it, and en increase in your reesip a. We have much more ground for hope, therefore, then for alarm and despondency. He had now placed before the proprietors the materials which would enable them to as to their fatten proposes as voiles he could himself. He would not mpg= lay OMMIlpf opinion as to thus prospects than he had deem beemsee be was most anxious to avoid holding oat any prediction which events might not full) justify. (Hear, bear.) The SICILITART them read the report, all the leading fea tures of which are eentained in the chairman's speech. After some discussion, the resolution adopting the report, and another confirming the dividend of ose per cent. for the half-year, to be payable on end after the Ist of Sep Prober next, was agreed to. A vote acknowledging the Devices .f the late chaining, Charles Russell, Esq., was next passed, and the usual can pliant having been paid to the president of the day, the meeting separated. THE PRESENT NEWSPAPER day Wt week we ret•ived • packet from the post-office charged one 'billing and Bespatter. On the outside was an unmet from an act of par:iament, informing us that if we did not take up the parcel we should he sued by th e Post dates, and be subject to all the penalties and all the pains that were intended hunch creatures as the fir-fazed Joseph Ady, who was always contributing information for other people's advantage. We paid for the parcel, sad on oreniog it we found that it contained two newspapers. One of that was a paper which we bad sent to London, and h.d omitted to place on it a stamp. That wee an accidental omission, and we paid one penny, and thought no more of the muter But the other was one of half a gross of pipers that had been sent to a gentleman in London, who had posted it to • Londcn friend without putting on it a stamp, and because his London friend lived in London, and the paper was posted in London, the Postmaster-General, or his deputy, clapped I a charge of one shilling and (outputs upon it, and sent the papers down to us, with the legal threat of compulsion, by which be got the money. This is • novelty in post. office tactics that we do not quite understand, and we have written to the Secretary of the Poet office for an esplana tion, or, what is better, for the return of our money, and we wish we may get it.—Plysnouth Journal. THE YEAR OF PLENTY.—Eighteen Hundred and Fifty•five will be entitled to golden remembrances in our national chronology, as the year of plenty. Never were the labours of the husbandman rewarded with such shun. dant crops, end, coming after a lassos, if not of famine, at least of pinching erica. the rich abundance of our fields, orchards, and gardens, and the prevailing healthiness of the country over its vast extent, affcrd as sufficient curse for' gratitude and joyous feelings. Prom all parts of the country comes the same unvarying and cheering cry of abundance. There never was such a golden h t before. All our great staples yield more than an average h t, and the lesser crop*, the fruit, and small vegetables, which are not taken into the account of commercial economists. We have accumulated a great heap of harvest statistics during Os put week—some of them in the shape of private letters from various parts of the country, and some of them ea• trees from our coatemporerin' reports—intending to make • synopsis of them, bet they are too numerous, and their unvarying tenor deprives them of intereet. They all tell the same story of glorious weather, abundant h , bril Haut prcspecte, and rejoicing farmers. And, on the back of these comforting reports the intelligeue• from Swore of abundant crops there is most encouraging. The coming year must inevitably be one of cheap breadstuff., sad, ..cen stquently cheap living; but there is no danger of the fernier Dot being abundantly rewarded for highboy's.

COTTON 000D8.—blauccazavas, AtOUST I6.—We have had a mod business in cloth, where sellers were disposed to be not over enacting in putting on a price Dem mensurate with the fresh rise in cotton. This speculative feeling in Liverpool sadly ioterrupts and perplezee both buyers and sellers of goods here, in the present sensitive state of our market. The chief demand for cloths is on India account, and the 'deices by this mail from Calcutta, whilst announcing he►vy sales, state that values were de• pressed by the heaviness of stocks, and consequently enpor• ten have great discouragement here in risking the most trifling ad . Spinners are firm in seeking an advance, and whae buyers have pressing orders they vs obliged I. concede it ; but this necessarily restricts business, which is a good deal confined to the absolute requirements of the moment. LACE AND HOSIERY.—The annual mimetic% of lace business in August is for the preeeat about complete. There is at all events no foreign business doing, and the attention of our manufacturers ia occupied in devising new patterns and combinations to snit the approaching meson. It will be about the I:0th of September before activity is resumed.

MANCIIZSTIG, AUGUST 16.—With more favourable weather daring the pest week, and declining accounts from most of the leading markets in the kingdom, the trade here has ruled quiet, and to the few transactions which haat occurred prices have bad a gradual lower tendency. The arrivals into Liverpool and Runcorn of wheat, Indian corn, and flour from abroad, and of oats, coastwise and from Ire land, are again to a fair extent, bat of other articles very trifling. At this morning's market wheat declined 3d. t. 4d. per 701bs. Flour was offered at a reduction of le. to 2.. per sack, without leading to business.

In the neighbourhood of Bury the sickle and the scythe are now in active operation in many pexishes ; during the last few days wheat has been cat by Mr. F. Nunn, at Fornham, and others. The crops appear in excellent con dition, and promise well for yield. Barley will doubtless be • good crop, though considerably laid.—Bury Post. Wheat cutting has now fairly commenced, and the weather bu happily become exceedingly propitious for harvest operations Though the rain which fell so heavily a fortnight since did much damage, yet it may be questioned whether it would not have done much more if it bad come now instead of then. We believe that the crop will be an ge one, though the sample will be deteriorated end the weight lessened because so much of it is laid. Farmen are beginning anxiously to ask how they may strengthen the straw so as to make it stand against a heavy shower. As a general rule, farm-yard and ammoniaal manures produce long weak straw, while bone manure and the nitrates make it short but hardy. The cone wheat stands remarkably well. There is some re-appearance of disease in the potato. Worcestershire Chronicle. Reaping has already commenced ironed Sherborne, at Weyntoeth, and in other parts of our district. From all we have heard and seen there is co room to complain either of the condition or of the quantity of the crop ; but the yield is a question which can n be accurately deter mined till alter thrashing. A great cry of ' potato disease l" has been raised. We behove that this will be found to have had its origin in some electrical disturbance on a single Light, and that the extant of the mischief is, the withering of some of the stalks, and the consequent dwarfing of the bulbs ; bat at present the tubers are found to be sound, and the favourable weather that now happily prevails will no doubt check any tendency to rottenness in the roots.— Sherborne Journal. STRANGE SCENE ON THE EXCHANGE. —Om Wednesday evening, Mr. Alfred Yates Carr, 111. H, of Manchester, the gentleman who applied for a warrant recently at Liverpool against the captain of the James Baines, emigrant ship, for placing him in irons on the homeward voyage from Australis, canoed a novel sensation by going upon the Beetling, and reading what he sailed a " proclamation," accusing a near relative of murder, and Mr. Ruttar, coroner for the county, of high treason. Having done this, he threw down his glove, which of course no one was bold enough to take up, save one of the porters, who had no fear of a duel before his eyes. About midnight Mr. Carr was found by the police kicking at a door in Rushohne, and armed with two pistols, which he presented at the officers, ordering them to stand off. The policemen, suspecting that the gentleman's mind was disordered, used soothing words, and having assured him. in answer to his questions, that measure. had been taken to bring the coroner and his relative to justice, he discharged the pistols in the sir, and accompanied them to the police. office. He was yesterday brought before Mr. Trefford, the magistrate, at Salford, in a state of mind very painful to winless, and oessmitted to the Prestwich haying' as a wandering sad dangerous monads.
