THE EXPRFAS, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER GLASGOW AND lOVTM•WZS?ZRN RAILWAY. The usual half sly meeting of this company vs. hidden Weftse, In the Merchant.'-hall, Hutcheson street, Glasgow ; AMOR= Oaa, chairman of the board of directors, proddieg. The report having been read, The CHAIRMAN then said—The directors We glad to say that the whole business of the company has gone on during the by-gone half -year in • very satisfactory manner. There has been • considerable increase in the various departments of our traffic, and but for the large additional expenditure in the maintenance of way, and some other items, our balance would have bees more favourable. Our engineer, however, reports that this outlay was necessary for the re pair of some portions of the road—new sleepers in the Dramlanrig tunnel and other parte ; and fencing to prev e nt injury to cattle, which the directors thought wise to have executed. Still, with all this extraordinary expenditure, we are enabled to divide at the rate of 5} per cent. for the half-year. I have pleasure in adding that our prospects are encoureging, and in the &bermes of say great disturbing cause, we may look forward to • greatly iocreased trade all over our now extended system. We are very careful in our attention to the proper maintenance of all our roadway, our works, betimes, and rolling stock, which the directors are happy to say an in the best possible condition. The Castle - Douglas and (limn branches have been at work for • short time, but their value to the main line has not yet been at all developed, although they are begin ning to give favourable indication of future result.. The Port Patrick, the only remaining one of the schemes not yet completed to which we are subscribers, will be opened, we hope, towards the end of the year, when we may expect additional traffic on our lines in connexion with that rail way. Kr. Smith takes care to report favourably of our finance and borrowing account, • fact which you will be happy to observe, caused as it is by the good favour in which the general und and efficient management of the line keeps us with leoders. I believe our ordinary stock was selected a.. security for thenniversity bursaries, founded the other day by Mr. Patrick, • circumstance which I look upon as a gratifying mark of confidence put in the manage ment of our company. Our recent arrangement of setting aside a fund to meet losses by fire has been very severely tested during the peat half-year,there having been • much Fester lose during that time an in any similar period ; in fact, there has been no such occurrences since the line was opened. As the amount has, however, been exag- Mt:mil may my the loss at Dumfries station will be about nd at Paisley, where the shed, goods, and waggoos won orimplet7 burnt, our proportion may be 1,500'. We propose a slieht increase to the fund for a short time to inset this, mad, if possible, enable us to set aside a fund to insure against such contingencies ; and at the same time we have given strict orders a ll over the line that groat watch fulness be exercised for the prevention of fire. We have no miegivinp as to the plan of being our own insurers. We have at last been able to satisfy the public and the Post-office by offering and securing to them a permanent good arrangement for this mails all over our district. Mr. Anderson, who has for the last twelve Teen acted as our home lawyer, very much to the satisfaction of the di rectors, and with much benefit to the comps, has been induced to accept • partnership in the hi ly respect able firm of Messrs. Morrison and Sons, and, though very unwilling to lose his valuable services, the director• could not stand in the way of what appeared to them a beneficial arrangement for Mr. Anderson. They do not intend, how ever, to make any change in the office, as they feel satisfied of the great advantage to the company of having a law clerk to look after the property and business of the com pany, and have, therefore, filled his place by the appoint ment of Mr. Jeffrey. • gentleman very much accustomed to the same sort of duties that fall to be performed with us in that department. The only other matter I think it neces sary to allude to is the recent Railway Amalgamation Bill. Although this company had little or no interest in the amalgamation of our three neighbours—the bill for the pro motion of which was lost in last session of parliament— . except in so far as such consolidation might have benefited the public, and secured improvement in the working increased the prosperity of railway property, and evinced in every way the edvantageo of further consolidation, we cannot help regretting the decision of the committee. It is plain that railway companies, if wise, must, as they do at present, work at equal rates under agreement, a very need. lessly expensive plan, and under which the public for that reason can expect little further concession as to rates or ac commodation, or they must continue to insist on being permitted to amalgamate under !violations by which the companies would be enabled to give greatly increased feel !Pies at more moderate rates to the public. In proof of this, we have only to look to our continental neighbours. In France, with not much more than half the popula tion to the square mile, with little or no coal, so such engineering facilities as we have, and other disadvantages, they carry passengers and goods cheaper, and with greater comfort to the public, than we du, and with much better remuneration to the company. And all this is evidently owing to a better sys:em of railway legislation. (Hear.) lie °preluded by moving the adoption of the report. J. Warm Eaq. seconded the adoption of the report. Mr. Mel. Laid that in connexion with the recent fires he might remark that he had observed far too much smoking going on about the co npany% stations and pre mises, both by servants and pamengen. He found people smoking at every place, so that there was great risk of hre from this cause ; and, iodate!, he wondered that there were not more fires in consequence. They placed up prohibitions to smoking, but these were generrlly neglected, and as long as that was the case they might expect tires. With regard to the Amalgamation Bill, lie might just repeat what be bad said in another place yesterday—thai they would not RD the risk of another defeat until they could convince their customers that they would be able to them • benefit as well as the shareholders, The CH AIRMAN--We are not parties to the bill. It is a mere opinion I expressed. Mr. MxiaLaid- if the amalgamation were successful, he had no doubt but the South Western would join it also. (Laughter.) He would like to draw their attention to another matter. This company had always received from due merit for being one of the best Sabbath-keeping lines in the kingdom ; but he had been told that they did break the Sabbath now by running their luggage trains. He thought, especially seeing that they were in so prce porous a condition, that this should be avoided. Six days were quite enough to labour, and he was of opinion that they ought to give the whole of the seventh to the servauta of the company. (Applause.) The CUAIRIIAN felt very much obliged to Mr. Meiklam for bringing the practice of smoking before the meeting. He had no doubt that was one of the oases of a great many fires, not only with railway companies, bat also with other companies —careless smoking. They had hissed stringent regulations to all their station masters to look to this and other matters connected with the railway, whisk he hoped would be fully carried out. Al respected Sm&y travelling, he thought they could scarcely be blamed. He thought the occasions referredto were bet two. One of their trains had broken down on the way from Carlisle, and he believed it passed through Paisley at half-mat 12 ou the way to Glas gow. The other was na the occasion of a gems many people having been landed at Anlroman in a distressed con dition, when they applied to the station miter, who very properly brought them up. and landed them in Glasgow. (APplause.) He thought, therefore, the South Western were nut blameable in this matter, and that they paid a careful attention to the Sunday. (Hear.) The report was then agreed A formal resolution, declaring •dividend of fif per cent. was then adopted inetnimouely, on the motional the CHAIR MAL secooded by J. Rim/AAA/Am, Esq. This concluded the business, • vote of thinks being pulsed to the chairman. THZ GALWAY PACKET SWITCH—On Wedneadny the Munster, a very fine vessel, neat in the to the Greet Eastern, was successfully launched hem the ship building yard of Messrs. Samuelson end Co., at Hull. She is intended for the Atlantic Royal Mail Company, for the conveyance of the mails between Galway and America Several thousand persons were assembled to witness the event. After the launch g grand braided took place, to which about 200 persons sat down ; Mr. M. Samuelson oc cupied the chair, and during the proceedings he took occa sion to make some remarks respecting the prospects of the company. He said it would be pretty well known that the Galway Company had had many difficulties to encounter, but he warn glad to my that those difficulties bad now been entirely surmounted. The whole of the old board bad re signed, and a new board had been chosen, and would be confirmed at a meeting which was to he held that day. The new chairman was to be Mr. Malcolmmo, a gentleman well-known in the mercantile world as being conaected with the steamers running from London and Dublin to the North of Europe. The deputy chairman wan to be Mr. Russell Gurney, and he thought these two names would boa audlcient guarantee to the public of the good faith of the company. The establish ment of a IMO like the thlway one involved a_great deal el anxiety and an immense amount of outlay. The company bad had to Goateed with the opposition of the Liverpool Cunard Company, and every parable means hail been used to defeat the peosiel of the subsidy. The prevent govern ment had, however, kept faith with the public, arid adhered to the promises made by their predeauseors in office, and Ire had no doubt the tine would now week well. The gentle man who bad been most condemned by the committee of the House of Commons was Mr. Lever, but he had now left the board. He (Mr. Samuels:a), however, felt it doe to Mr. Lever to my that his conduct had been much belied. He was a most enterprising individual, although scarcely the person best calculated to curry out efficiently such a large company as the Galway one. After a few further observa tions the pmooedinp terminated. ANOTHER RAILWAY COLLISION.—A collision oc cnrredonTueadaymornin, at the Raiford station, on the Manchester, `Sheffield, and Lineobehire Hallway. As the passenger train from (Mouthy was proceeding slowly out et the station, on its way to Slieffieldot mad train upon acmes lag ran against the hindmost of the passenger carriages. Two carnage., a lugrage van, and &guard's van were severed nom the fore part of the trans, and knocked off the hoe, the two vans rolling over. The two carriages contained a number of passengers, who were much shaken and bruised, but nut, as is believed, seriously injured. The guard was thrown some distance by the falling of his van, but wise not mach hurt. The passengers of the third-class carriage next the engine were somewhat shaken—one of them so seriously that doubts were entertainod as to his recovery. The ac cident is summed to have :mien from some mistake on the part of the pointaman. The slow pace at which the trains were moving alone prevented the most serious maw gleam. —Nanckreter Gan edicts. TEE FATAL COAL•FIT ACCIDENT IN DEILETEBIES. An inquest was held on Tuesday on the bodies of the four youths who met a terrible and instantaneous death Is • coal pit at Kilburn, in Derbyekina u reported in our columns esterday. Mr. T Shaw, landlord of the White Lion, said he knew all the damaged. Their names were John Annahle, aged 20; John IMykin, 17 ; John Bamford, 14 ; and Wil liam Shaw, 14. He identified ell the bodies. William Crofts was then 1111110111, and rid—l am over on the bank, and was so employed on Monday mim ing, near to the pit mouth. I had counted all the number in each cage, and the four deceased with two othere went down after seven cagefuls had been sent down all safe. There is a man employed at the bottom of the pit to see that the caps are all right. He is called the hanger on, and his name is Joseph Brown. His duty was to see that the INN were in their proper places. 1 cannot form any opinion as to how a cage could get out of the slides when once properly fixed in them. 1 did not think that the cage was oat till I heard the noise ; there was nothing to tell me where it might have got out. The up cage was not inc bad state when it came up. I cannot my whether it was on the slides when it reached the top. The cage in which the men were going down came up first, and it was doubled up so as to keep Hartley and Hickin bottom from falling down the shaft. I heard no signal from the bottom. Ido not know that the lads had any tools with them. If the cage at the bottom was off the conductors it might not make a noise at first, as it might travel some distance without banging against the side of the pit. The cages have never got out of the slides nor aught each other at meeting. The cage that was coming up has been used the longest We have sot always run the ropes up and down before letting the men down in a morning. We have done it sometimes. Mr. Medley, the government inspector, read the ads fixing the responsibility of twice running the cages up and down the shaft upon the head bankstnan, and asked the witness if that was done on Monday. Witness., -Not that I know of. I cannot say whether the bottom cage was in the slides when it started upwards. If the cage was placed properly in the slides before starting it ought not to get out. It has never done 13 that I em aware of without • Cause. . . -- .1011;iv;;;ii;;,151e engine driver, was called to prove that he obeyed the signal of Crofts, and that he was at his engine all the time. 'He had seen the rule for running the loaded cages up and down the shaft, but he did not com ply with it. By a Juryman—The cages have never met before since I have been engmeman. Ido not know that it is possible for the cages to get out after they have been properly fixed in. I think the boxes are sufficiently strong to keep the sign, in the conductors. Richard Oldknow, collier, said—l was in the pit on Mon day morning, and went down with the third lot. The shaft was then aU right and safe. I found Joseph Brown at the bottom. Whilst I was getting the clay I heard a row in the shaft, and I shouted to Brown to give the signal to stop the engine, and as moo as I shouted the cages met., and I heard the four deceased fall on the bottom. I went to them and they were all four dead. Annablo lay across a middle beam on which the cages alight, on his lack. Inykin lay in in a similar position, both his thighs and his left leg beiag broken. Beresford had one leg broken and was bruised aU over. Shaw had fallen with his head on the place and his skull was crushed. There was no time for anything to b done between the time I shouted, to Brown and the crash. Brown gave no signs/. The row I heard was like a joggle Zsthe conductor. The cage does juggl e sometimes when start with it empty. The deceased were got out as soon its partible. Jai* Wheatley, bailiff of the colliery, proved that the easel could not get out of the slides without violence, and be produced a "aping" which Amiable took down with him, and at the end of this was a mark clearly showing that he must have struck the side of the pit. It was also proved that by • colliery ride boys and men were prohibited from taking any bulky materials or " sprain " down the pit with them. Mr. Medley was of opinion, after carefully examining the shaft and hearing the evidence, that the occurrence bad been caused by the dislodgment of the down cage, which might have been done by the " Ring " alluded to. The Coroner briefly summed up the evidence, and the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death," and ex- pressed their opinion that the rules for the government of the colliery had not been properly attended to. Thi CROPS IN 8017111 NOTTIN011•101EIRR. In our last report we dated that up to Wednesday, no wheat, or bat little, bad been cut in the district. Wednes day, however, wee a fine day, upon the whole, and to all eppearance the weather appeared to be more settled. On Thursday morning, however, at about 3 o'clock, the rain began to descend, and about sit came down in torrents. At 6 o'clock it cleared tip and a very boisterous wind set in from the south west, increasing in strength until it become a furious gale. The clouds were swept away, and in a few home the real., which had been literal water COMM, wen white with dust. On Thursday wheat was cut, and on Fri day wheat cutting became general in the district. That day was penally fine although there were a few slight shower,. The night was frosty, and Saturday was a splendid day with a gradually rising barometer. Some of the farmers are cut ting the wheat very green. One Aoki that we were paining on Thursday, we were calculating that it would be ready for the scythe or sickle in about a fortnight, when to our sur prise the next morning about twenty men were mowing it down as feat as they could. At IC inoulton a considerable deal of wheat has been cut very green. At Owthorpe, they commenced on Monday. At the Cropwells a great deal has been cut, as well as at Ootgrave, Normanton-on the•Wolds, Garrido°, Buingfield, Straggiethorpe, and indeed all over this side of the county, with the exception of Clipetone and Cotgrave wolda, where there are fields of wheat which to all a ranee will not be ready . at present. The ground, y in the stiff clayey dieted* is very roll and wet, and the pr o cess of ripening is rather slow, b.,t the weather, up to the time we write, is all that can be desired. Should the weather continue fine, the earn, most of it, if ant all, will be gathered is by the end of the month. Corn was carried at Basingrield, Adbolton, and Gamatoll, on Friday sad Saturday, and on the wed aide of this part of the county, about Widmerpool, Bunny, Bradmore, Rue!. ilington, he., they are in a more forward state. There is no doubt that with favourable weather the grain will be excel. lent in quality. Beane were never better. The whole of the hay has been get in this week ; but such is the condition of, we might say, nearly half the hay in this district, that it is a great question whether the cattle will be made to eat it in any form. °cod hay must be very high in price. The rope of maegold and turnips are not what they should be, the ground is so wet and cold the bulb cannot develop itself. —Natiftyltant Journal.

Mary Ann Envoi eirvant, was charged as remand with being concerned with two others, not in custody, in stealing a quantity of plate and money value about 150/., belonging to her late employer Mr. Ford, bookseller, of Upper-street, Islington. The facts of this case have already appeared, and it will be remembered that the primmer made one or two different statements. One of her statementa was to the effect that while she was asleep the house had been entered and the articles stolen, and the other was that she had admitted her "young man e and his brother into the house, and that when they had left the house she ascertained that the place bad been robbed. Inspector Judge, N division, who has charge of the case, said every endeavour had been made to trace the property. but none of it could be found. He bad made inquiries about the prisoner's previous character, but could not ascer tain anything against her. The prisoner said she was sorry the robbery had taken place, but she knew nothing of the matter. Mr. D'Eyncourt discharged the prisoner. THAMES. _ . John MuUenstedt, aged 24, was brought before Mr. Selfe, on a charge of assaulting and wounding Frederick Benne. The parties are Germans, and employed at the great anger house of Mr. Davis, in Leman-street, Whitecbapel The prosecutor, who was in • weakly condition, was ac commodated with a seat. The top of his head wax covered with • surgical plaster, he has hat a large quantity of blood, and has been most dangerously wounded. It ap peared from his evidence that yesterday, at noon, be was in the mess-room of the sugar-home, when the prisoner began talking to him, and, addressing him by his nickname of master," maid he had been keeping company with a loose girl in Whitechapel. He did not like to hear that because he was a married man, and never kept bad company. He was very cross and vexed at what he heard, and quarrelled with the prisoner who punched him, and then stabbed him on the head. He was struck on the top of the head several times, but he could not say what with. He was on the ground when be was stabbed, and fell down the s while the prisoner went up the steps. A doctor his wound.. William Walker, an Engliah boy, confirmed the state ment of Banns. Mr. John Comley, surgeon, of 71, High-street, White cel, said be saw a clew cut on the top of the prosecu ts skull. He had no doubt it was inflicted with a sharp instrument. The wound was two inches and a half in length. It was very dangerous. The prisoner, in defence, said Benne called him foul names, and began fighting with him, and fell down stain and hu rt; his head. Mr. eomley said that the wound could not have been in flicted in the way stated by the prisoner—it was a very clean cut right on the top of the bead. :11;prceecutor was recalled, and said he did threaten the r,aod called him bad names ; but be was not wounded ry 7 f:il e ing downstairs Mr. Self. said, upon the evidence that bad been given, he should only have one coarse to pursue, when the prisoner was again brought before him. Mr. Coniley bad positively sworn that the wound had been inflicted with a sharp in. strument, and that it was dangerous. He remand ed the prisoner until Wednesday next. THE MOORS. The gentlemen on the moors at Hayrick (Rays a correspondent of the Sminnan) continue to meet with hut indifferent sport. If the binds cannot be said to be scarce, they are by no means plentiful, and they ate so wild that it is very difficult to get them within range. Black gem° as late this season, owing to the unfavourable weather during the hatching season. Partridge shooting has not com menced in our district. The late harvest is very suitable in one respect, as few of the young birds are yet in a condition for the gun or the table. At Dumfries the wet and windy weather which has pre vailed until within the past few days has been very un favourable far the sportsman ; the moors have been soaked with water, rendering travelling laborious and unpleasant, and birds have become wild. Partridge shooting commenced on Saturday last, but the birds will generally obtain a 're prieve, aa the harvest is not sufficiently advanced to enable sportsmen to thread cultivated land. At Inverness Mr. T. Walker of Foyers, and friend, on the 27th ult. killed 32 brace grouse and 6 hares; and on the 26th, 41 brace and 2 hares. Mr. Pryers Loveden, and Captain ?ryes M.P., at Farr, on the Elltb, killed 371 brace, sod es the 30th 33 brace at Kyllachy. M r . A. Walsh, and the Hou. H. Wyndham, at Fannich, from the 13th to the 26th, 351 brace grouse and 3 snipe. Mr. H. Wynne Williams, on the 2i th, killed 39 brace. The put week has not been one very favourable for sport at Banff (says the journal). Grouse are getting still wilder, owing to the continuous wet weather. On the illackwater shootings, on the 28th, the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar killed 421 hence grouse and 5 hares; on the 29th, after 4 p.m., Zit brace and one hare, and on the 30th, 12 brace and one hare.

Mersey, seas. and jun., shot 18 brace.—A party of two guns on Belleville, on the 26th, had 11 brace grouse and 3 bares, the day tieing wet ; and in three hours on the 31st, the same gentlemen had 7 brace grouse.

The week's import is 8,939 bales. WOOL AND WOB.STED.—DitADTOSD, Sere 6.—There is decidedly a better feeling discernible throughout all de partments of our market to-day. The few days of fine weather during the past week ham no doubt been the cause of this improvement. The reports of the harvest, also, have so far been on the whole generally better than was anticipated here. The effect of the fine weather upon that most sensitive of all trades—the wool trade—has Leen cnietly to put people in better spirits, and to awaken hopes of better feelings to come ; it has, however, brought au in crease of inquiries into the market, and more sales have been made. A little firmucei has also been given to prices, and any conceding tewleucy has been checked. The colonial wool market is almost stagnant. Deers have, no doubt, supplied themselves at the recent ales in Londou. There is still a good demand for soils and pokes. The demand for worsted yarns keeps steady. The export houses are yet being delivered, and the consumption by the home manufacturers is on is moderate scale. there is no alteration in the prices of the present month's contract. The improved weather has had the effect of briugM,g more buyers into the warehouses, and though the improvement has been slightly felt by the manufacturers, the merchants are so well stocked with good. that have been accumulating for some time back that they are able to supply all demands upon them with out giving out new orders to the manufacturers. The American houses have been operating recently ; this causes rather more animation, but they still act with great cantina.

THE CORN TRADE.-BIRNEVGII/01, SErr. 6. -The fall of rain in the part month has been even greater tbau that in June, being as much as seven inches-that is, about au inch more, being in both months, we believe, above the depth recorded at the corresponding period of any previous year in this century. The crops, however, appear to lave suffered ootnparatively little ; this is probably attributable to the fine weather in July, at the time at which most of the wheat was in blossom. During the month prices ad vaoced about ss. per quarter on red, and rather more on white wheat ; most of this has, however, been lost in the last few dry days, since the weather has appeared more set tled. A few samples of new wheat have been brought to market ; these vary greatly, both in weight and quality, and we have not yet heard how the millers find them work. The arrivals of foreign, particularly American, continue very large, and seem likely to increase for some time to come. We must bear in mind that the present harvest is a month later than any that has been reaped since 1816, and has, therefore, only eleven months' consumption to provide for before the next may be ready for use. Our present prices are :-White, Bs. to 84. 4d.; red English, 7s. fid. to 7s. 10d.; Ohirka, 7s. 4d. to 7a. 6d. ; red American, 7s. 4d. to 7s. lid., all per 6211 a. delivered here, The crop of barley is reForted on the whole •to be a good one, except on the clay soils, and i now being rapidly secured : the yield is expected to be la but tad in many districts the grain will be dark coloured an the quality inferior. Our price, I have advanced for all descriptions ls. to 3s. per Tenter, with a very extensive de for feeding purposes. Dimu• ban sells at 29e. to 31s. ; Tagliatog, ,325. to 335. ; and Danish, at 355. to 365. per 3921b5., here. The stock of oats ' at Gloucester in first hands is nearly cleared out at an ad vance of Is. to 2s. per quarter: fine old seem likely to be scarce. Irish grey are worth 28s. to 295. ; light kinds of white, 275. to 28e. ; heavier qualities, 28s. to 295. ; and French grey, 25a. 6d. to 265. 6d., all per 3121b5., at Glom easter. Beans have advanced about 2a. per quarter, but are just now in rather less recpseet. Egyptian sell slowly at Its. 01. to 16s. ; French, 16s. 6d. to 17s. 6d. ; English, '2os. to 21a., all per 196115., at Birmingham. In peas the rise of about 3a per quarter has checked the demand. This crop adescribed as decidedly the worst this year; being the most forward, it has suffered the most from the wet, and a great deal has been carried in poor order. Our preemt prices are 16s. 3d. to 17s. per 1981bs, at Birmingham.- (From Yews. J. and C. Sturges Monthly Circular.) TRAFFIC RETURNS. salwaTi. Ma it Mar- Total. Total son asagos. alsaalwa.
