The communication hail, however, ben nedaldished by way of Sicily. He believed that the Chanel Wands telertn, inh, after workieg some time socoastelly, had also failed.

The half-yearly general meeting was held at 11 o'clock this morning at the London Tavern, Mr. E. DIM PON in the chair. The report, which has appeared in the Express, having loon takes al read. The (4411411414, who was received with cheers, in moving its .oloption, commenced by referring to the addition of 414,M10/. to the capital account, which, he said, had not been mule without dun deliberation and actual necessity. The hoard had not concealed that they had incurred other liabilities, wishing their co-partners to be fully in. formed of everything in which their interests were involved. The working expenses were undoubtedly high. He believed the officers conducted the trafic as cheaply as they could consistently with their duty. The working of the treat Northern Railway would always be more ax is-mitre than that of some at the older lines. The gradients of the line were much more difficult than those of the Loodon awl North Western ais I the Midland Railways. Yon cookl not go up • deep indite without increased expeoditime for fuel • while as regarded wear and tear, in this owe as in others: it was the pace that killed. Thu most unpUarmst item on the espenditure aide at the account was that for compere the. They lied had 14,0001. tai pay under that head dorm the lest 6lf.year. The two accidents which had 000siocsd that outlay were not owing to any defect either in the locomotive department or in the permanent e.iy. la ow cam a servant of the company, who hail torsi great expeneoce, and whose character was excellent, made a mistake, while in the other thesauri was overpowered by the weight of an excursive Iris. la ma. . unmet trains pessencers were too apt to tiler liquor to the guard, and he believed that the accident in this case was pertly, owe( to that cause. .to regarded compensation for accidents, he had so hesitation in raj,ng that railway prorieton were most scandalously treated. (Hear, bear. The juries assessed damages in a moot , unfair mariner. ( H ear, bear.) They Knee enough to purchase an annuity, sot merely fur a man s life, but for all time.

He dreaded too great an extension of the lood traffic at the London end of the line. If they iscreated that traffic too much the result would be that the 110X4111110alaiiO4 for the through Puma pro from the north would be iumfficient, and they would lose sovereigns through baring gained shillings. He con cluded by deprecating any further diminution of the number of directors. _ _ _ ♦ PRornirml, adverting to what the chairman had said respecting the cause of one of the accidents, thought there should be a stringent regulation that any guard who took a filar of intoxicating liquor while on duty should be dis mired. (Hear.) The Cuatay,tr remarked that there was a regulation, ' which was strictly euforcod, that no refreshments should be supplied to a guard, at any station, during his hours of duty. The great difficulty was to prevent passengers in excursion trains from sharing what they had with the guard. A PROPRIZTOR wilhett to know whether the guard who wu drank when the im.eident occurred near King'reroas was dismissed. . The eNAISNAN replied that he was not a servant of that convene, but he was both dioniseed and imprisoned. Mr. JOHN HOWARD regretted the loss of the " mange. runt bills" for permanently settling the competition with the London and North-Western Company ; but he thought the two companies might agree upon a system of working which would be beneficial to both. The rate at which goods were now carried was far too low. if o was a considerable freighter of goods from the West of England and other parts of the country, and there was no line on which he paid so little is he did for carriage between Manchester and London. (A voice, You ought to be satisfied with that.") (Laughter.) He held that if the fares were properly arranged, both companies would obtain a much larger return. Mr. VALMNTINZ KND;HT wished to know whether the in , crease of capital during the half year—via, 44,0001.—was legitim.it, lie then complained that Injustice had been dune by the beard to the A shareholders. The . CII.t11:11AN declined to answer the question because it was asked in au insolent end discourteous manner, and implied a doubt of the integrity of the directors. The pproprietor might put his question to the auditors. R Mr. Y. Ketone wished for information with respect to a property at Peterbomugh belonging to the company, called "Now England." What interest did it produce The CNAIRNiN said the property at New England con sisted of houses erected for the occupation of servants of the corupany, who paid a fair rent. The erection of them win a matter of necosni! . . ,, (Hear, bear.) The A shareholders had no cause to com pla in of not being well treated by the directors, and e advised Mr. Knight now to leave that class of propeietors to take care of themselves. As regarded Mr. Ho - ward's complaint with moped to rates end fares, he observed that the board hail been compelled to adopt the course they had done. He quite admitted that the charges were too low and the pace ton high, and the board would be happy to co-operate with Lord Chanties and the London and North Western directors is effecting a change. (Hear, hear.) The board had so wish for a reduction of the number of directors. The question was one for the shareholders. Ho did not beliovo the Muse/ell-hill traffic would create any Moon. venience at King's-cress Station ; care would be taken to prevent that. The repro t was thin edopted, and dividends in accordance with the reconsionadatieee et the board were declared. Thanks woo oftemods voted to the chairman and his co-Sweeten, sad the Teastios sopended. MINES.-THIS DAY. Two &Croat. The mining market to-day is quiet.

This turned out to be ea, and the bugle sounded through the town calling them to arms, not to arms of warfare but to implements of hay which was readily complied with, and twenty of the d- dew Greys were soon in a field near the town handling their fork• and rakes with much dexterity, and before even bog closed in these fine fellows were full masters of the field, and the hay was carried home in triumph This generous proceeding has caused the Grey' deserved applause.

(From tbe Gardeners' Chroside of this day.) Our annual harvest-report is given elsewhere. It is, as might bare been expected from the weather, of • very different complexion from those of several prey :curs years. There can be little doubt that the wheat crop gene rally iv conaiderably injured. Of 140 re po rts received from a- many co..—iponrlentar in England and Srotlr'rd no fewer Ova 113 dec've the crop to be below en average ; and if the skid wheat.grow'ag districts be selected it adl be found tint the proportion of unfavourable returns iv quite se large. Taus five out of six reports from Lincolnshire, three out of the from Norfolk and Suffolk, and all from the counties of Oxford. Gloucester, Wilts, Haute, and Kent report en favourably. Of barley again there are everywhere good reports from Scotland, and only 22 par cent. of English reports speak of the crop as inferior. Oats are reported in 31 instances as inferior, in instances as fair, and in 11 instances ma ex cellent. Of 115 reports of beans, 75 speak of the crop as good, 27 as very good, sod • few as bats. Peas generally promise well, though latterly, like every thing e`-e, they have suffered from the rain. Of grass there has been abundance, and about one-half of a heavy hay crop seems to have been seared in fair 000ditica. The rest is either much Injured or iv still to make. The potato crop is everywhere attacked by the diesse, mad generally with much greater severity than usual. Of 140 astir us to our inquiry, all from the Southern and Mid land English counties sprik of the ravages of the disease, which seems to be progressing rapidly everywhere mouth of Liaeolushire on the one side, and of Salop on the other. In Ireland oats, which are the chief grain crop, are generally spoken of as promising under avenge ; grass is abundant, and much good hay has been Lod the potato disease is generally making its appearance. The harvest is everywhere from three to four weeks later than natal.

The amounts in the morning papers convey 1 faint idea of the extent of the fire at the West Kent Wharf, London Bridge. The warehouses on the wharf extended in one direction 160 feet, they were SO feet wide. This ep. plies only to a new none of bl:ildings erected, or rather nearly completed during the duet fifteen months, for the Dublin Steam Shipping Company. Stretching to the water. edge was also another row of warehouses about 100 feet long, termed the " Old Wharf.' In both premium were deposited goods of the most inflammable character ; for inatanoe, one department was filled with firkins of batter ; another was stored with tuns' lard ; a third was filled with ham. and bacon. Another floor contained no less than 15,003 quartets of corn and 1,9C3 quarters of cats, end the quantity ~ f seed of various descriptions that has been con mimed the value is incalculable, to my nothing of the des truction of hops in bond, oil, tallow, and oil cakes. The premier contained seven floors in one potties, but the new portion of the works con Mused two additional floors— being filled with feathers (dreased), jute, wool, hides, Ste. It is very seldom that the origin of a fire can be traced, bet the cause of the present one can hi satisfactorily ex pla'ned. A man named Davis, a collecting clerk, hosing neglected to ship off a quantity of tallow sod raga, and being anxious to complete the order that night, went into the jute room, and therein lighted the gas, when the flame from the burner caught a number of bales of jute, and set them in a regular blaze. He at once cried out to the keeper of the warehouses, " Charley, the place is on fire, get song water." The man, who is an old experienced fireman, formerly connected with the West of England olSee and chief firemen at the Houses of Parliament, at once procured a number of buckets of water,whicb he threw upon and around the burning bales of jute, but in spite of this expedient the lire continued its ravages until floor after floor to the number of seven were completely enveloped in fire. The light then became in. tense and the grain fell like showers of golden fire into St. Mary Overy, 'a dock and communicated with sundry vessels lying there, as well as two or three in the river Thames. Nothing short of the complete destruction of the Hibernia wharf and Saint Saviour's church could then Le expected, for immense sheets of flame and huge showers of sparks kept continually lapping round the warehouses and the church. The powerful steam float, with Shand and Masins's lead steam engine, were, =slur the direction of Mr. Superior• tendent Braidwood, at once set to work, as well as several land engines of the brigade, worked by manual labour, from Tuoley-street, Southwark•bridge rod, Watling-street, Waterloo-road, Jeffreyequare Chaudos•street, Farringdon-■treet, and more distant sti. Lions. The land engines were copiously furnished by water from the mains of the Southwark Company's Works, but in spite of this the devastation continued, and hour after hour continued to peas away without the least im pression being made. It WU nearly 11 o'clock this (Satyr day) forenoon, Just 12 hours after the outbreak, before the flames beano to succumb. The damage at the lowest estimate will amount to 200,0001., and it is feared that Dot one quarter of the pro perty destroyed was insured. A large number of racks were kindly lent by Messrs. Tang and Shad, of Pickle Herring•stairs, which were filled with grain as it was washed out of the burning buildings, and safely deposited in St. Saviour's churchyard. Two barges laden with tea and other light goode, yalud at 30,0001., have been sunk in the adjoining dock. • monkey boat, containing a woman and five children, is also greatly damaged, and it was with the greatest difficulty that the Marks meld he got oat.

The disappointment of the expectation of an im provement in the weather bas been attended with a decline of per cent. in the funds, which present a very dull appearance, notwithstanding the announcement of a further slight improvement on the Paris Bourse. British railway stocks in most instances have also experienced a reduction of to per cent. Very little business is going forward in any department of the Stock Exchange. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted 68.20, showing a rise of about I per cent. since yesterday afternoon. Consols are officially marked 921, 1,1, and for money, and 921 and 93 for the account. The present quotations are 921 to 1 for cash, and 921 to 93 for the 6th of September. The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cents. Reduced, 931, 4, ; New Three per Ceuta., 931, f ; Indian Five per Cent.

Turkish Bonds are dull ; the loan of 1854 is quoted 731 to 741, and that of 1858, 591 to 60. As regards other descriptions, there is no new feature whatever. Sales are recorded as follows :—Duteh Two-and-a-Half pee Cents., 65 (exchange, 126.) ; ditto Four per Cent.

Hekv-rear Two o'CLocie. Console remain quoted 921 to 1 for money, and 921 to 93 for the account The private advisee report an abundant supply of money on the Paris Bourse, but this is not a very healthy indication. The moneyed classes are willing to lend for short periods, but loth to invest. The French government is said to be supporting the Rentes as much as possible, with a view to an ultimate loan to defray the oust of the China and Syrian expeditions. The half-yearly dividend is advertised on the Turkish Loan of 1858. About 16,000/. in newly-imported gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. Owing to the continued firmness of the foreign exchanges, the demand for gold for exportation has slackened. The Para will take on Monday 324,3331. in specie for the East, of which 9,8921. is gold, an& the rest silver.
