Yesterday the Slst half-yearly general meeting of shareholders was held at the cans of the company in Coleman•street-bulldisp; Yr. J. OUT, IL P., in the chair. The report, which bag already been published in our columns, was taken as read. The Czarinas bad hoped to be able at the prevent meet. ing to date the position of the different clams of dare holders as decided by the Court of Chisaint7. At the loot meeting it was said that that decision algid be obtained easily —a statement which struck many with surprise, and WOO more ao than himself—but when that easy mode came to be investigated, it was found worth nothing, unlade the entire bel l e/ the shentholders of all clones consented to be bound It, and miler the decision came with all the forms, and e was afraid with all the usual costa, that was sot to be expected. It was then proposed that • suit in tlianoery should be instituted, and one of the re = hoklen, Mr. Oorry, kindly allowed his name to be redo' • party to that suit, which was an amicable one to settle the respective rights of the shareholders. But when the mum came before the court, the Master of the Rolle re quired distinct evidence that all classes of share holden considered themselves adequately repieninfsid, and a circular was accordingly seat round to them Jodi viduallys intimating this requirement, and inviting their formal assent to a case to be 'reseeded, or that they should take the necessary means to represent their respective in terests. In his opinion all those interests were fully set forth in the case as presented to the Master of the Rolla ; and for himself, had his interest been ten times as great an it was, he would have been glad to refer such • case to any barrister of standing and abide hie decision, a course which would have enabled them to settle the matter at • cart of perhaps 501. or 1001. Certain of the shareholders, how ever, would not consent to the case as presented. and bad determined to select one of their body to represent them in the suit, and to employ • counsel of high standing as their advocate. He had heard that they were about to call in the aid of Sir H. Cairns, and while be entertained the highest respect for the talents of that learned gentlemea, he could not but feel some alarm as the probable delay which would be thus occasioned and the expense that would be incurred. (Hear, hear.) At the same time, be trusted that the shareholders referred to would do their best to urge on the proceedings, and to bring the came before the court for its decision in the course of the ensuing Michael. mae term. He understood that some of the preference holders were diamtisfied with the resolution of the last ge neral meeting to suspend the payment of the preference di vidend. until the debts due by the company were dis charged. His own opinion was that it was six of one and half-a-dozen of the other whether they discharged all their debts before they paid any dividends, or having discharged a considerable portion of the debts as they had done, they paid the pre ference dividends now and the remainder of the debts after ward'. It was entirely a matter for the consideration of the shareholders themselves as to what was best for the interests of the company. (Hear, hear.) It was right, ' however to state that the majority of the board took • different view of the matter, and considered it to be of great importance that they should adhere to the resolution, and u the dividends till the debts were paid. For him. suspend icoald see but very little distinct' between • debt due to • creditor for the construction of I n line a d • debt due to a shareholder for arrears of dividend. He did not refer to those arrears which formed the subject of the Chancery suit, which must, under any circumstances, await the decision of the court, but to the arrears accru ing since the commencement of the team, with which only they could deal. As they were aware, the line was leased to the Dundalk Company cm terms which would seamy 5 per cent upon all the preference shares, and somethingbeyond ; and this being the legitimate pro fi t of the undertakinr there was no doubt that from the date of the Issas every oLr of r w r e.d. rence shareholder was entitled to his rate of whether it were I or 6 per mat. ; and if they took the money received as rent to pay the remaining debts of the company, instead of paylng.the preference holders, the effect was limply the =gof a debt from the one shoulder to the other, and ot owing 11,0001. to Mason Roberta, the bankers, they would owe the mosey to the preference holden in the shape of arrears. There was, however, one rewire why it would be 'dyeable to pay the debts due to the ordinary creditors, instead of ap p lying the money to the payment of dividend. It was obvious that au act of parliament would be ultimately r r for dealing with them debts. If theeowed, say 0001., in the shape of ordinary debts, and went for an act o parliament for authority to raise money to discharge them, they would experience some difficulty, and would be met with the answer, ' You axe in receipt a 26,000/. a year, why do you want an set of parliament to authorise you to raise fresh capital ; go sad pay your debts." But if they owed 30,6001. in the shape of arrears of dividend they would experience little or no difficulty in obtaining, at comparatively small cat, an act for capitalis ing such arrears. The amount of the ordinary debts of the company was about 14,0001. —he could not state the sum exacllybecaume there were certain land claims and con veyancing charges—in the whole about 4,0001. or 5,0001. —which yet remained to be settled ; but if they put down the total liability at 15,011/., they could not be far wrong. They could not of course go for an act of parliament until they had the decision of the Court of Chancery, as until then they could nut say what the claim, they would have to provide for are, but when that decision warn pronounced he thought they would he wrong if they delayed a mingle session in applying for an act to settle the matter finally, and place the centers in working order. It was true they bad a surplus of 2,000 f. : year, after paying all current charges, and providing for the preference dividends, and it right be niggard that that surplus should be applied to the payment of the ordinary debts ; hut that course would be inconvenient, because of the long time which must need@ elapse before there would be sufficient to discharge the whole of the liabilities'. But ae be had said this was a question entirely for the share holders, and with this explanation he would lame it in their hands There was an item in the amounts as due to revenue, which mat not be regarded to the full extent r available rats. Mr. QUILITII—Do you refer to the 3,5 N/. returned r due to revenue? The Cearammr—Yee, that referred to sundry station balances which he had no roaaon to suppose were incorrect, but sow of which alight be doubtful as to the amount. It had bees asked as to the debts on amount of capital, wietbar they had ell been incurred for the oesstniction of the bee. His reply to that question was that they had, every pansy of there. Mr. QUILTIa—Not in the payment of preferential bite met? _ TM CLUBMAN believed not a single peony had been ap plied to the payment of preferential interest beyond the proper 'arrow of the line, which were legitimately appli cable to dividend . (Hear, bear .) He understood it had been also made matter of complaint that there had been • lofts upon the steamboats, and that the directors had chiuged it against the company. That was not the fact. There had been a lose it was true, but the directors, who bad incurred the risk believing that the steamboat. might have brought traffic to the railway—but upon their own iiicouut and with their own capital—had paid it. In ova clusion, be moved that the report be adopted. The motion having been seconded, The CHAIRMAN, in reply to • question, explained that there could be no doubt as to the title of the preference holders to the sneers for the hut half-year. The only arrears about which there could be • doubt, and which were the subject of the chancery suit, were those which had ac crued previously. The report having been adopted, A resolution, proposed by Heasley, that the meet ings should be in future held and the dividends declared in the months of January and July reirictively, if conform able to the terms of the act of parisimeut, was likewise passed. The directors and auditors retiring by rotation were re elected. Mr. FRITH. taking up . • notice given by a shareholdmnot present and referred to In the report, moved a vote of MO& to Mr. Lover, one of the director, as a remuneration for his untiring and valuable services as secretary from the beginning of June, IMM, having undertaken that duty in consequence of Cho awls of Mr. Arthur, the appointed secretary, winch he had continued to perform without any further remuneration than what be received as director. The resolution was &greed to, and having been suitably acknowledged by lir. Layer, a vote of thanks to the chair man concluded the proceedings. MELANCHOLY BOAT ACCIDENT AT IRVINE. The oorrespondent of the North British Mail imaie writes :—" A wry general and =al sensation was created in the town sad of Irvine on the afternoon of Saturday the l sad intelligence that • boat bed been swamped at Dar, in which were John Blair, Esq., writer, Irvine ; his nephew, William Bochum; son of Ifr. G. B. Buchanan, calenderer, Glemeer; a boy named Hall, lion of • shoemaker, Irvine ; sad two Me. men, named Peebles and Black, and which aocideet, V. Mira to ±o,y baa terminated fatally to Mr. Hair and the boy Oen The party boa left the pier for a pleasure excursion, and, as the day was fine, were no doubt looking joyously forward to an agreeable sail. Bat, alas ! while the boat was poring the jetty at the bar, carrying • jib, fore and main sail, she struck either • sunken etob or • pro tine piece of wood at the end of the perch, which started one of her planks, and, having oonsi derable way on her, she paned a short distance beyond the Although an attempt was made to keep her afloat Ettowing out the sand be, she was filling so rapidly Mr. Midi, seeing her dangerous state, sprung off into the water with his little nephew in his arms; and there is every reason to believe that Mr. Blair, who wee • good swimmer, could have saved him self but for his noble, courageous, and humane efforts to save his nephew's life, and also the boy Hall's. Black swam for the perch, which he made with great difficulty, as be bad to contend against a strong current, and Ms since stated that he, at one time, gave up all hopes of saving himself. The alarm having reached the quay, the pilot boat waa manned, and pulled swiftly out to ths spot of the occurrence. The first man they came to was Bieck, bat, as he had by this time a bold of a post at the end of the patch, they made for the I first body they saw floating on the water, which was that of the boy Boehanee. They shortly afterwards picked op Peebles, who was floating on two oars. The boy Buchanan was about twenty made from the perch, end Peebles as far away again. The body of Mr. Blair wee recovered about five o'clock, it having floated is with the ebb current. Young Buchman, we are glad to say, has now quite recovered, and from his own statements we learn that, immediately after the occurrence of the accident, when the boat was apparently going down, be was seised by his uncle, who placed him first on his shoulders, and afterweris on • floating piece of wood. The last thing be remembers was the boy Hall sinking, and hie uncle making for him. It is sad to reflect that amity a few days ago the writer met Mr. Blair in the full vigour of bie conducting, with his anal animation, the sports of the Irvine Toxophilites, of which he was a most efficient secretary. Little did we think then that his span of life was so near its ter. minstios, showing very forcibly that while in ' life we are in the midst of death.' We cannot withhold our condo- lance with his bereaved parents and relatives on the loss they have sustained, and which to them Is irreparable. The lamentable event has cart a deep gloom over the whole community in the town and vicinity of Irvine, as Mr. Blair was held in high esteem by all classes for hie kind and obliging manner. Mr. Blair, who was jest entering into the prime of life, was procurntor.fiscal for the dirtaiet, joint agent with his father in the Clydesdale Bank, and. also • lieutenant in the Irvine Volunteer Artillery Brigade." HOP LYTELLIOENCE. The recent favourable change in the weather has canted an improvement in those (roulade wham there pre viously existed env promise of hops. Where the plants,- tarns appeared to be blighted the warm senehine has moo pleted the work ..f destructior. In • few favoured locali ties it is expeuted thut the yield may be a 2 or 3 cwt. per acre. In others the produce will scarcely be worth pickieg, and in some grounds it is said will be left, absolutely to their fate, es past doing anything with. There are, nevertheless, a sprinkle of hope in two or three districts, where the ground, are looking well, considering the year, and one of the most fortunate appears to be about Halstead, neer Westerham, where, however, the best plantations an not reckoned on to yield more than 3or 4 cwt. per acre. The reports from all parte of the county are so similar In their purport that it would be tautology to repeat them. So in Feet Kent the general err is that the fine weather has arrived too late for the hop grounds, many of which are past all hope, especially the " Winer' grounds where the few hope that seemed to be growing are dying away, and will not be worth gathering. With regard to the best plantations, the hops do not grow but shrivel up ; sad in most of them there se mould, with an abundance still of vermin. An average of a bag per acre will be the outside yield. In Sussex and Surrey the hope have grown, although but slightly, since our last. Os some grunials the CAY is ile cidedly worse, and the best are more unpromising than for many masons past. Where the burr has advanced at all, it is coming into hop, and is mostly Gleam. Small well shel tered plantation seem the only ones that offer a prospect of cropping; in the rest there will scarcely be anything. In Farnham, Alton, and the country districts, the plantations are decidedly worse than last week., and we sow despair of getting 3,003 f. duty for the district. —Scutt Eastern Gaxtte.

SUSPECTED MIIRDIM It DOELEIT-ents me of sus pected murder came before the ineestrates at the bead polies-aloe, Dublin, on Saturday and Monday. The de ceased was an old woman named (1111, lodging in Ormond street, and the cireunetaiwci were mob se to throw strong suspicion upon her huabsud and ion. It appeared that she was discovered with her throat mit in • fearful manner, and with other injuries upon hee,which it was the opinion of the medical witeemes who were examined meld not have been inflicted by herself. A blunt knife, which the eaten be have could not have inflicted the wounds, was found loosely held in her head; and this in itself Is also an extra. ordinary fact, the weapon by which suicide is usually com mitted being either thrown away altogether, or grasped with rigid tenacity. A razor use found in the posseasioa of the elder prisoner, which would have certainly made ants corresponding with those observed upon the unfortnnate ' victim. The tragedy was first discovered by the blood of the poor old creature trickling down through the eeihoogg into an apartment below, where another lodged lived, and on her coming up stairs she observed the deceased kneeling at the pate, under the circumstances stated. The husband was committed for trial ou the charge of wilful murder, but the son was thschaegol. TEL ROAD MVEDFAL —Although nothing positive is vet known, eircumetances have transpired leading to a belief that the duty of investigating into the circumstances of the Read murder has been confided to Mr. Edward Francis Slack, of the firm of Mmes. Slack and Synunoce, soliciton, Bath. The ground for this supposition is the fact that, on Monday afternoon, Messrs. Foley and Wolfe, superintendents of police at Trowbridge sad Devises, waited on Mr. Kest, at Road-bill House, and informed him that it would be necessary that the whole of his domestics should be prepared, by half-past seven the following morning, to go to Bath, to give evidence at Mr. Slack's offices. Contrary to their usual manner, the officers observed a marked taciturnity, and refused to give further information as to the object or authority of the visit. At the appointed time yesterday morning, accordingly, • fly made it. appear. ante at the house, and Sarah Cox, the housemaid - , Mr. Kent's cook, Emily Doel, the girl who maimed the nurse ; Oliver. the gardener, the coachman, and another, were driven off, no explanation whatever being vouchsafed to Mr. Kent, who with his family were left is some astonish. merit at so singular • proci time. Arrived at Bath, the party alighted at Mr. Slack's office', and at 11 o'clock they were called in, and separately examined in private. A day or two since Superintendent. Foley and Wolfe visited sad examined Neater William Kent at his ached.

TILE POLICE COURTS. GOILWIALL. TAostaa Bennett treachiiecr before Sir Henry Mugge- Adis with the following c ool and daring robbery : It appeared that the prisoner was in the warehouse of Mews. Short and Co., of Wood-street, Cheapside, when one of the warehousemen saw him deliberately cross to an opposite counter, take up a parcel containing a down pairs of stockings, and after placing them under his arm be re. turned to the counter where the warehouseman was who had been watching his movements, and inquired of him wltkila was the way out of the warehouse. The warehouse men directed kim, and then pot en his hat sad followed him to the nearest pawnbroker's establishment, bat failing in obtaining an advance upon the goods he cis auk mad th warehouseman gave him into the custody of the first policeman they met. When asked where he obtained i the parcel, be n a very off-hand manner said he brought if from Messrs. Stun and Co.'s, of Wood-street. Sir H. Muggeridge said in the whole of his experience he never met with such an histance of unparalleled coolness. It was a most daring act to steal goads before a man's face and then sak him to facilitate his escape by directing him how to get out of the warehouse. Although he was not known to the police it was evident he was not new to offences of this description, and he (Sir Henry) therefore committed him to hew to for trial. The prisoner with the utmost indifference then left the dock, and shortly after the business of the court was in terrupted by some person in the cells below singing most vociferously. The gaoler was called up, and in answer to the ' inquiry about the extraordinary noise proceeding from below said it was the prisoner,who was amusing himself by danci n g the ardor's hornpipe in his cell, and whistling and singing sorts of tunes like a madman, and he could not keep him quiet. We have been requested by Messrs. Amott Brothers, of St. Paul's-churchyard, to publish the following letter, which has been addressed to them by Mr. Cohen, in refer ence to an application to this court for a summons under the circumstances reported by us yesterday: " 3, Spectack-alley, Whitechapel, Sept. 4, 1860. " A report haying this day appeared in the daily papers relative to an arrikation made by me at GUildball respect ing a purchase o a chain and key for one guinea of Messrs. Amott Brothers, of St. Paul's-churchyard, I have to state that since my application at Guildhall I have bed an inter view with Messrs. Amott, and they have most clearly proved to my satisfaction that the chain and key 1 bought bad in advertently been placed in the glaas-case containing a lot of gold goods, and were selected by me nod sold without any intention to defraud or misrepresent. I have bad many previous dealings with Messrs. Amott in jewellery, and hoed always been highly satisfied with my previous pur. chases from them, and have in every case resold the things at a profit. Believing that the report of the application at Guildhall i salculated to injure them if unexplained, I feel it due to Messrs. Amott to offer this explanation. " Witneres , " JOIRPH COHEN. "G. M.

Middle Scotland-yard, when the prisoner rushed upon her anti snatched a small reticule or puree out of her band with great violence, brooking the strings, which were twisted round her fingers for security. She called " Stop thief !" and followed the prisoner, who ran towards Whitehall till she lost eight of him. Her purse contained 'boot 2/. 10a. The prisoner was brought back in custody, but the purse bad not been recovered. Samuel Tate, No. 3, attendant at the Hackney-carriage eland, deposed that he heard the alarm given, and seem the prisoner running away, followed him till he was stop by the sentry at the Horse Guards. The prisoner, on being secured, and "I am ruined. It was through distress that I did it." _ _ . It wan found that the prisoner made a similar state ment at the station-house, adding that it was his first offence. Although immediately searched the puree wee not found upon him, and them ix no doubt that he threw it away when he found escape impossible. In answer to the charge the prisoner now rid he was in nocent of the robbery, and therefore knew nothing of what had become of the purse. Mr. Jardine mumitted him for trial at the next West minster Sessions. COMMITTAL OF AN Ed-SHERIFF FOR FORGER r Yesterday morning Mr. Francis Edward Shipley, colliery proprietor, olt Mehra* near Nottingham, was brought up on remand from Friday, before the Mayor and borough magistrates, charged with forging s bill of exchange for 671. 16s. upon Mr. Thomas Pacey, coal merchant, of Fiskerton, near Newark. The court was very crowded, Mr. Shipley being exceed ingly well known in the town, and up to the pemeut time highly respected. The prisoner served the odice of sheriff m 1 . _ . Mr. Superintendent Raynor produced a bill of exchange purporting to be accepted by a person named Thomas Facet, for 671. its., dated May 26, 1660, endorsed by "F. E. Shipley, jun.," "Shipley said Son," and "H. Pludaton," and made payable at Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith's, London. 'Witness had received the bill from Mr. Eaton, the manager of Mews. Wright'. bank, Nottingham, and he had apprehended the prisoner by wanaot at his house in Bridksmith Gate. Mr. Eaton laid be received the bill at the bank from Mr. Suasion, who had an account there, and afterwards found it woe forged. Mr. Hudston, insurance agent and bill discounter, said be became posseseed of the bill through a letter from the pri soner, which was as follows : " My dear Sir,—You will oblige me by discounting the enclosed bill of Pacey's, which is a good bill, and I also enclose Mr. Eliott's.—Yours faithfully, F. E. SHIPLEY. " P.S. Plasm send me a paper to ell up for my wife's aasuranee. If you would only stop the 401. to-day for • week you will oblige me." Witness decimated the bill, which was in the hand writing of the prisoner. Cn the morning that the bill be came doe and was dishonoured, be had some conversation with the prisoner about this bill and others. Prisoner ap- Mnd&strews& Witness told him to be candid with and tell him how many irregular bills were on his (witness's) books, and promised to go to the Bank and with draw them. Prisoner then gave him • list, amongst which was that of Percy's. By the word " irregular " witness meant three which were not genuine either in amount or with respect to signatures. He bad been in the habit of discounting bills for the prisoner. tipnu cross-examination witness maid he had never stated that be did not care whether the bills were irregular or not. When prisoner came to witness's once he brought with him 70/. in notes, which ware still in his (witness's) possession. He discounted the bills at 20 per oast. per annum. Mr. Thomas Poesy, of Fiakertoe, said the name upon the bill was not in his handwriting. He never accepted a bill for the prisoner in his life, and he had never had say transaction with him. The pmoner having been cautioned by the Mayor, Mr. Coops, on his behalf, pleaded not guilty, and be was the■ committed for trial at the assizes. Mr. Coops applied for bail, saying he could procure any amount, as the prisoner had moved in a highly respectable sphere.

At the early part of the market the trade was extremely inactive, graziers holding for late rates, which were rejected on the part of buyers ; who, however, finding no concession to he ob tained, did business at late pnces, and though the stock remained in the market longer than usual a good clearance was effected. The supply of aheep was Inge, numbering nearly 2,800 in prime and useful condition, and were all readily sold at rather easier prima.

The advice, from the colony, by the last mail, being again unfavourable for imports, will tend further to check shipmeuta, which, if continued for a little while, will enable storks on the other side to be reduced, and restore a more healthy tone to the markets.
