1,0 RD C. PAGE? AND GENERAL SIR F. SAUTEE, AT CHATHAM. r the counties in England Kant was the one most 'important for an enemy to take, because there would be found the most cherries to pluck. There they had Chatham, Sheernr: , s, Wool wich, and Deptford dockyards, a , d Wool wich Arsenal, although the latter wa totally un fitted for,an arsenal. The volunteers of Kent should, therefore, render themselves as efficient as it was possible for them to be made, Kent being so admi rably adapted for defence, ,there being the garrisons of Chatham, Sheerness, and Dover to fall back upon. Volunteers, however, must make themselves as per fect as possible, remembering that from their intel ligence they required but one-tenth of the training of the common soldier. They must not think they were not regarded, for his gallant friend could tell them of the great influence the force had already had upon Europe. (Cheers.) The British army had won for itself golden opinions, and wherever it might yet be employed there they might depend upon it it would do its duty. They must not imagine that because they heard of large armies they were efficient. In America they found the army numbering 700,000 men, but yet they failed to discover any remarkable strategy or ability. (Hear.) That army had yet to learn the art of strategy, which could only be acquired by time. Armies could not be got together on the spur of the moment; their skill and organisation must be a work of time. The Duke of Wellington, at the termination of the war in which he was engaged, boasted that he had 45,000 efficient troops, and with that number he would march from one end of Europe to the other. (Hear, hear.) He believed the British army was now in an equally efficient state, and that if required they could do so in de fiance of all opposition. (Loud cheers.) CHATHAM, THURSDAY. Last night Lord C. Paget, M.P., the Secretary to ',, u ` Admiralty, and Lieut. - General Sir F. Smith, together with some other distinguished visi tor'4, the principal officers of the army and navy, Ivad leading inhabitants of this town, were enter tained at a public dinner given by Mr. Jas. Budden, the high constable, at the close of his year of office. The banquet took place at the Sun Hotel, where covers were laid for 200 guests. The CHAIRMAN, after giving the customary loyal toasts, proposed " The Army, Navy, and Volun teers," and in doing so highly eulogised the deeds of the two services, and he had no doubt that wben- ever occasion required it the volunteers would not he backward in upholding the honour and consti tution of England. (Cheers.) Lord CLARENCE PAGET, in rising to return thanks for the navy, was received with loud cheers. He said he begged to return them his sincere and heartfelt thanks for the honour they had conferred on the navy, and also for coupling his name with the toast of prosperity to that branch of the service to which it was his honour to be. long. The chairman had alluded, in proposing the health of the Queen, to the heavy affliction v;hich had befallen her Majesty. (Hear, hear.) The year just passed had, indeed, I:een a year of mourn. ing for every man, woman, and child in the country, It would not become him to allude further to that event, and he would, therefore, content himself with deploring—as every one in England did—the great loss which her Majesty had sustained. Turn ing, however, to a much more congenial and cheer ing subject—that of the state of our army, n av y, and volunteers—he would not attempt to make any comparison between the three services, being per suaded of this, that whether it was the army, the navy, or the volunteers, the members of each asked no better favour than to be called on to serve. Captain Magnus briefly returned. thanks on behalf of the volunteers, expressing the obligation that force was under to the regular forces. After some further toasts the proceedings ter. minated. Before making any observation with regard to that branch of the service to which it was his great honour to belong he must commence by apologising for being at Chatham at all. (Laughter.)

(Cheers.) And therefore there is no concealing it from ourselves, that it would soon end in further spoliation, and the Church would be left without the endowment and status which it at p resent possesses. (Hear.) The prin ciples of Divi ne t rut h , I admit, do not depend upon property, but the human machinery by which the circulation of the principles of Divine truth is effected depends upon property for its organisation ; and no one can deny for a moment that the Church, deprived of the means by which the Divine instruc tion which it is its duty to afford to the people is secured—the Church deprived of these means would of course lose immensely in its efficiency. But in the case of the Church of England it is not merely a question of the loss of its property, but it is also a question of the peculiar character of that property, because the property of the Church of England is territorial property—it is a property so distributed throughout the country that it makes it from the very nature of its tenure a National Church ; and the power of the Church of England does not de pend merely on the amount of the property which it possesses, but in a great degree on the kind and character of that properly. (Hear.) Then I say the result will be that, the Church of England deprived of its status would become merely an episcopal sect in this country, and in time in this country it is not improbable that it might become an insignificant one. But that is not perhaps the whole of the great evil that might arise from the dissolution of the connection between the Church and the State ; be muse, in the present age, the art of government becomes every day more difficult, and no Go vernment will allow a principle so powerful as the religious principle to be divorced from the influence by which it regulates the affairs of a country. (Hear, hear.) Then what would happen? Why it is very obvious what would happen. The State of England would take care, after the Church was spoiltd, to enlist in its service what are called the ministers of all religions. The ministers of all religions would be salaried by the State, and the consequence of the dissolution of the alliance be tween Church and State would be equally disastrous to the Churchman and the Nonconformist. (Hear.) It would place the ministers of all spiritual influences under the control and the influence of the civil power; and in this country it would effect in reality a revolution in the national character. (Hear, hear.) It would, in my opinion, even have an in jurious effect upon the liberties of the country ; and I cannot believe that after the thought and discus sion that have been devoted to the subject for the last 20 years, there can be amongst those who have well-considered the subject any great difference of opinion ; but that all men—l would say the Churchman, the Dissenter, the philosopher, would all shrink from a solution of the difficulty which we feel with regard to the present state of the Church —a solution effected by means so injurious as the one to which I have referred. (Hear, hear.) Well, then, what would you do I maintain that you have only one alternative—that if you do not favour a dis solution between Church and State, you must as sert the nationality of the Church of England. (Hear.) I know it will be said, " Assert the na tionality of the Church in a nation where there are millions not in communion with that Church!" The right hon. gentleman proceeded to consider this question at some length, and contended that many not now in communion with the Church were not adverse to the Church, and might be brought within its pale, and the nationality of the Church proved and asserted. He looked, as a means to this end, to the influence of the Church in education, to a moderate and well considered extension of the episcopacy, to a complete development of the lay element in the administration of the non-spiritual affairs of the Church, and the maintenance of the parochial sys tem. Unfortunately in this country, continued the right hon. gentleman, so far as the church is con cerned, great errors exist on the subject of parochial constitution. In consequence of the great changes that have taken place of late years with regard to parochial administration, there is an idea too gene ral that the parochial constitution has been sub verted ; but as far as the Church is concerned, the parochial constitution is complete and inviolate,and the right of visiting both by parishioners and the parish priest remains intact, and which properly acted upon is a source of immense and increasing in fluence, especially in those great towns of which we hear so much, and where that right is not even in existence. The fifth means by which I think the na tionality of the Church may be asserted brings me clearly to the resolution. I mention it last, not be cause I think it inferior to any of the others. You must render the clergy more efficient, Whether in the great towns you increase that staff of curates, which perhaps is more advantageous than building churches without making preparations for their maintenance, still less for their endowment, or whether you avail yourself of those means which other societies in the diocese afford for the in crease of spiritual assistance, or whether, * lastly and chiefly, you take the great subject in hand which has brought us together to-day, and make an effort throughout the country for putting an end to those low stipends which are almost in mockery now appended to the discharge of laborious paro chial duty. (Hear.) These are five great practical means by which the nationality of the Church can be asserted. But they are only means and machi nery, and they must be inspired by that spirit of devotion which only brings success, and which only deserves success. But in the present state of the country I think that a great corporation like the Church of England may look forward, by means of machinery such as I have mentioned under these five heads, to great, triumphant, and final success. (Cheers.) These five measures, with the exception of the increase of the episcopate, can be adopted without any appeal to the nation. We must not shut our eyes to the fact that the time has gone by when we could ask for new powers and privileges from Parliament to establish the position of the church. (Hear.) I myself do not undervalue the public recognition of the Church by the legislature of the country. I think its importance cannot be overstated. I believe that in its action it gives an authority in many minds which, without that posi tion, it would not possess or exercise. It is because I believe a public recognition of the nationality of the Churn by the Constitution is of that great value, that I and those who have acted with me re sisted all the attempts which have been made dur ing the last few years in Parliament, and which have aimed at damaging the public status of the Church. We have done that because we believe tbat the public status of the Church gives it an im mense advantage when the opportunity occurs of asserting its nationality. If we had not believed that to be the consequence of its position,we should have declined the contest for privileges which might otherwise be considered merely obsolete, and for a public status that was barren. I would venture to hope that this meeting will be of some use—that an effort will be made in this diocese, and that it will not be confined to this diocese. I hope we shall no longer be appalled and paralysed by indefinite estimates of the hos tility and obstacles that we have to encounter. I hope, above all, that the faint-hearted among our brethren who, of late years, seem to be only considering how they can decorously relinquish a post of great responsibility, will learn that the wisest course with respect to the Church of Eng land, as with regard to all other cases in which great duties are involved, is to be courageous and to attempt to perform our duty, and then I am con fident that the Church of England will show to the world that it has powers of renovation that have not been suspected by some. (Ch eers. ) For my own part, I uphold it not merely because it is the sanctuary of Divine truth, but because I verily believe it is our best security for that civil and religious liberty of which we hear so much, and which :we are told is opposed to its institution. (Loud cheers.) The resolution was then agreed to, and addresses in support of the institution were delivered by Mr. Walpole, Mr. Hubbard, and other gentlemen., 111 E NAVY. --.0,-._____ The Grand Duke of Saxe-Coburg and suite paid a visit to Chatham Dockyard on Wednesday, and in spected the various departments connected with that establishment. After spending a short time in the inspection of a variety of moulds and drawings in the office of Mr. Lang, master shipbuilder, the dis tinguished visitors, accompanied by Capt. Fanshawo and the other officials, made the tour of the dock yard, visiting in the first instance the iron frigate Achilles, in the examination of the works of which they spent some time. They next proceeded to No. 3 dock, occupied by the iron-cased frigate Royal Oak, over which they were conducted, and the in terior of which was very minutely inspected, his Serene Highness descending into the engine-room and examining the machinery. Leaving the Royal Oak the party was conducted to the end of the yard, where the Duke and attendants witnessed the ope rations connected with the preparation of the slabs of iron for forming the armour-plates for the Royal Oak. Before quitting the dockyard, the visitors went over the factory, and examined the Salamis paddlewheel steamer, building on the first slip. The Resistance, 16, iron screw ram, Capt. Cham berlain, went into Portsmouth harbour on Wednes day, and was hauled alongside the dockyard, in order to have certain repairs made good to her iron capstan, damaged on weighing anchor at Spithead. The Revenge, Capt. C. Fellowes, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Smart, and the Defence, Capt. Phillimore, got up steam yesterday afternoon at Spithead, in obedience to a signal from the Victory flagship, and were expected to proceed direct to Gibraltar yesterday evening or early this morning. Admiral Kingcome has arrived at Portsmouth Dockyard, and is expected to hoist his flag on board the Sutlej, Capt. M. Connolly, on Monday or Tues day, for the Pacific, to relieve the Bacchante, flag ship of Rear-Admiral Sir Thos. Maitland. Orders were yesterday received at Chatham for 70 non-commissioned officers and men of the 83d Regiment to proceed from the garrison to join head quarters of that regiment. CENTI?AL CRIMINAL COURI.—Oct. 30. OLD COURT. (Before the Lord Chief Baron.) THE MURDER IN THE CITY. (Continued from the Sun of yesterday.) .• • Samuel Gardner, aged 38, described as a sweep, and Elizabeth Humbler, 19, a married woman, were jointly charged upon an indictment, and also by the coroner's inquisition, with the wilful murder of Elizabeth Gardner, the wife of the first men tioned prisoner. Elizabeth Humbler was then brought from the gaol and examined as a witness. She said—l am the wife of John Humbler, and I am 19 years old. I have known the prisoner since I was eleven years of age, and I used to live in his house with the de ceased. There was an intimacy between me and the prisoner of an improper kind ever since I was 15 years old. My mother took me away from the prisoner's house, and 12 months ago I married my present husband, and I left my husband and went again to live in the prisoner's house. This was about Vireo months before this occurrence happened. Mrs. Gardner was agreeable to my going to live there. I acted as servant, and did all that there was to do, While I was living in the house on this second occasion I renewed my intimacy with the prisoner. I did not know that I was going to leave on the Monday the affair happened till the prisoner told me so after the murder, and he had accused me of it. On the Sunday before the murder I went to bed at seven o'clock at night, and wished the deceased good night. I got up on the following morning at half past seven o'clock, and between those hours I never left my bedroom. I went to a room on the ground floor to light the fire, but I had only one lucifer match, and it did not seem to catch, and I went up to the de ceased's bedroom to get some matches, and saw her lying on the floor, and the child was lying by her feet. I had taken up the box of lucifers before I saw the body, and the moment I did so I dropped them on the ground. I had heard the child cry while I was dress ing. The child was between two and three years old. I took her out of the room. Soon after this Mr. Gardner came home. I had not seen him before on this morning. When I saw him come in I said, "Good God, Sam, come upstairs," and when he saw his wife lying dead he said to me, " You wretch, you have done this ; if you don't move from here I will give you in charge. When he said this I dropped on my knees and said, " Good God, show mercy on my innocence." Mrs. Gardner was in very good health when I saw her on Sunday, the 14th of September. The police went into my room and searched my clothes and everything I had. The prisoner said I should not stop in his house, and I went to a person named Spenser, who lives in Northumberland-alley, and I never went back to the prisoner's house again ; but I asked the prisoner to give me some money to enable me to go to my mother at Gravesend, and he said he would give me anything in reason, and he gave me 3s. When I came downstairs on Monday morning the street door was shut, and no one could get in without knocking. I left the door open when I went to fetch the doctor, and the prisoner came in while I was away. I went with the prisoner to the last Epsom races. Mr_ Poland (to the witness)—Had you anything to do with this murder P The Lord Chief Baron said that that was not a question that should be put. What they wanted to ascertain was' what the witness did, and not what she did not do. Cross-examined—l only lived with my husband six weeks after I was married, and I then went again to live with the prisoner. My usual time for going to bed was nine or ten o'clock, bnt on this Sunday night I went to bed two hours earlier than usual. I went to bed on account of the prisoner being angry and ill .tempered to me. I did not go to bed immediately, but sat up for an hour, thinking of the sufferings that Mr. Gardner had caused me. I got up at my usual time on the Monday morning. I went downstairs with my stockings only on, and I put on my boots downstairs. There was only one match in the lower room. I found out that I had trodden in blood on the Monday morning. I gave the stockings I was wearing at the time to the police sergeant, but I did not look at them to see if they were bloody. By the Court—My stockings were of a dark brown colour. Cross-examination continued—l felt something cold and wet to my feet through my stockings as I went into the deceased's room. The deceased had received a good many letters, such as valentines, for some time before she died. She could not read or write. I never sharpened a knife except upon one occasion, when Mrs. Gardner asked me to do so at dinner time. I did tell the constable who took me into custody that Mr. Gardner might have seen me sharpening a knife on the door-step. I swear that 1 did not know I was to leave the house on the Monday until the prisoner told me I was to do so. Re-examined—l never saw the knife that has been produced to-day until the Sunday before Mrs. Gardner's death, and she said it had been brought there with a fork and a plate by some strangers. Mr. Ribton asked the witness whether she had not frequently sharpened a knife at eleven o'clock at night and taken it into her bedroom, where the prisoner took the knife from her ? Witness—Before God, he never took a knife from me in my bedroom. Mr. Ribton—Did you never say that, if Mr. Gardner were not more sociable with you, you w.-nld stick him with a knife ? Witness—Never. He has threatened me repeat. edly. Mary Spencer said—l live in Northumberland alley, and on the morning of the 15th of September I saw the prisoner. He had a child with him and he asked me to go to his house, and I did so, and saw the body of the deceased. Before I went I asked him what was the matter several times, and he made no answer. The last witness was in the deceased's room, and she said, " Oh, Mrs. Spencer, Mrs. Gardner has cut her throat, and he says I have done it." The prisoner then said, "Fetch a police man," and I did so, and the prisoner refused to allow Elizabeth Humbler to leave the room. She was crying, and she said she knew Mr. Gardner to be a bad man, but she did not think he was capable of accusing her of such a thing. After Humbler's clothes had been examined by the police, the pri soner said she should not stop in the house any longer, and I took her to my house. Before she went the prisoner gave her 38. to enable her to go to her friends at Gravesend. Sergeant Moilbs, of the City police, said—On Monday morning, the 15th of September, in conse quence of some information I received, I went to the prisoner's h ouse , an d saw t h e dea d b o dy of the prisoner's wife on the ground. Dr. Sequeira, the prisoner, and Humbler were present, and the . (lec tor handed the knife to me. When the done .. it," I prisoner made the . observation to Humbler, that "she had advised him to be cautious, a nd . inquired what grounds he had for making such intercourse with the girl, and she a charge. $ e repli e d th a t he had been in the habit of havin g was to leave that d ay. I examine d a ll h er c l o th es and found no marks of blood. Her hands and face were begrimed with dirt, as if they had not been washed for a considerable time. There were some valentines on the chair. (They were of a very offen sive character, and had reference to the coilnecticn that existed between the prisoner and Humbler.) I examined the room carefully, and could not find any marks of blood on the wall. There were two windows in the room, and one of them had no blind and the blind to the other was drawn down. There were no marks of blood on the bed, and I did not observe any upon the person of the prisoner. After the first inquiry before the coroner the prisoner told me he was sure his poor wife had been murdered. I asked him why he thought so, and he said because the girl Humbler was to have left his house on the same day, and he added that he had gone to Hum bler's bedroom one morning before she was up, and saw a knife sticking in her door, and when he asked her what that meant, she said she did not intend that he should have found her alive, and he had also frequently seen her sharpening knives on the sink stone, and when he asked her what she was doing that for, she sometimes said they were for herself, and sometimes for him. He had told me before this that an improper intimacy had existed between him and Humbler. On the Friday after the death the prisoner told me that he had seen several marks of blood on the wall upstairs and by the side of the bed, and he showed them to me, but I am positive these marks were not there when I examined the place before. He also showed me a mark on the rail of the bed, as though a wet cloth ipid been drawn across it, and some other marks which I am sure were not there when we searched before. I told the prisoner so, and he said they might perhaps have been done in washing the body. The prisoner then took me to a downstairs room and pointed out a mark of blood on the curtain and on the shutter, and he said at the sametime that Humbler had opened that window on the morning of the 15th. I told the pri soner upon this that I had examined the curtain and the shutter several times previously, and I was quite certain that the marks he had pointed out I were not there, and he made no reply. A detective officer named Monger was with me when all this I took place. I subsequently apprehended the girl Humbler at Gravesend, where she was staying with her friends. I examined her stockings and they were very dirty, but no trace of blood was discovered upon them, snd the stockings were re turned to her. Cress-examined—l examined the girl Humbler's clothes on the Monday, but I did not observe any traces of blood upon her stockings. She did not say anything to me about having trodden in blood, but the stockings were carefully examined by the coroner's jury, in consequence of her having after wards said that she had trodden in blood. Thomas Tallett, the wilt d beadle of the district in which Northumberland-alley is situate, deposed that he went to the prisoner's house on Monday, the 15th of September, and he corroborated the evi dence of the last witness as to what took place on that occasion. Anthony Wilson Monger, a detective officer who was with the witness Mobbs when he went to the prisoner's nouse, deposed that he went with the prisoner to look at the body of the deceased after she had been placed in the coffin, and he began to cry, and said he was sure that his poor wife had been murdered. Witness asked him why he thought so, and who he suspected, and he replied "Elizabeth Humbler." After this the prisoner repeated the same statement he had made to the other constable, and said that Humbler had several times threatened that she would kill him and afterwards destroy herself'. He also said that Humbler had met him one day and had said that she thought he never meant to speak to her again, and she drew a large knife from her mantle and said, " I intended this for you, and afterwards for myself." Cross-examined—Witness was quite sure that the prisoner said that Humbler pulled out a large knife from her mantle. Elean or Buxton said that she went to the prisoner's house on the 15th of September, and saw the body of the deceased, and the prisoner said he was sure she did not do it herself, she was too weak nerved. Witness assisted to wash the body, and she did it carefully, and no blood was splashed upon the walls I of the room. James Gardner, a young man, the son of the de ceased by a former husband, was then examined, and he proved that she was a right-minded woman. In cross-examination this witness said he had frequently heard the girl Humbler jeering his mother and annoying her, and that he heard his mother give her express instructions to leave on Monday, the 15th, which was the day she died. Mr. Ribton here proposed to ask this witness whether he had not heard Elizabeth Humbler say on one occasion, shortly before his mother died, that now she had got once more into the prisoner's house, she was determined never to leave it again. The Lord Chief Baron said he was of opinion that this question could not be put. The witness Hum bler had not been asked in cross-examination whether she had ever made such a statement; and, besides this, he really did not see that the fact was of any importance one way or the other. Mr. Ribton said be considered it of very great importance to the prisoner. He should ask the jury to say that it was just as probable that, if there was any murder at all committed, this girl was as guilty as the prisoner, and her conduct, and any expres sions made use of by her which tended to support such a hypothesis, were, as it appeared to him, very important. _ the Lord Chief Baron said he was of opinion that the question certainly could not be put until the witness Humbler had first been asked whether she had ever made any such statement, and he would allow her to be re-called for that purpose at the close of the case for the prosecution, if the learned counsel wished that this should be done. Mr. Payne, the deputy coroner for the city of London, was then called as a witness, and he proved that at the first inquiry before him, which took place on the 17th of September, the prisoner came forward and offered to give evidence, and that he cautioned him, and told him he was not bound to make any statement, and that any thing he did say might be used as evidence against him. After he had given him this caution the prisoner was sworn and gave his evidence, which witness took down in writing, and the prisoner signed it. The deposition of the prisoner was then put in and read. It was to the effect that he was willing to tell all be knew. that he had been married to the deceased for seven years, and that they lived hap pily together until the girl Humbler came to live in their house, about five years ago, and that after this period his wife was very disagreeable about her, and wished her to go away, and that she left and got married. She however only lived with her husband a short time, and came back to live with them again; after this the deceased seemed to complain of her more than ever, and frequently said that she thought her conduct was worse since her marriage than it was before. The prisoner went on to say that on the Sunday evening before his wife died, the girl Humbler was annoying and insulting his wife, and he was determined that she should leave on the fol lowing day. He said that he and his wife slept together on the Sunday night, and they were very friendly, and he got up as usual, and went to his work in the morning, and when he left his wife was in bed, with the child. He then enumerated the places where he went to work on the Monday morn ing, and said that he returned home about 8 o'clock and then found that his wife was dead, and he said that the reason he charged Humbler with the mur der was, that he thought it probable that she had insulted his wife and quarrelled with her after he lett, and that this had led to the act. He also said that the deceased was not left-handed. This closed the case for the prosecution. The witness Elizabeth Humbler was then re called at the request of Mr. Ribton, and he asked her whether she had not stated upon one occasion that now she had got into the prisoner's house she was determined not to leave it. The witness, in reply, declared that she had never made any such statement, but, on the contrary, she said that about three weeks before Mrs. Gardner died she offered of her own accord to leave the pri soner's house. She went on to state that one night the prisoner came home late, and he a p peared to be very angry, and said that both his wife and wit ness should go, and that he would have the house to himself. Witness, in reply to this, said that she would rather go herself than that Mrs. Gardner should go, and the prisoner told her to mind her own business, and that he was the master of the house and he should do what he liked. James Gardner, the son of the deceased, was then again placed in the witness box, and he declared positively that ho heard the girl Humbler make use of the expression imputed to her upon more than one occasion. In answer to a question put by Mr. Poland this witness said that he heard Humbler say this about three or four weeks before his mother died. This closed the case for the Crown. Mr. Ribton then addressed the learned judge, and said that the usual hour for the adjournment of the court had nearly arrived, and he inquired of his lordship whether he proposed to finish the trial that night. The Lord Chief Baron said that the inquiry was one of a most important character, and the atten tion of the jury had already been directed to it for se vera l h ours, and he therefore thought it would he better to adjourn the case to the follow ing morning. He also thought it would only be fair to M r. Ribton, after the course that had been taken of ca lli ng the young woman Humblera s a witness, that he should h ave an opportunity for considering the effect of her evidence.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. DEMERARA. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday, at the London Tavern, Mr. J. A. Tinne in the chair. The report stated that the working of the railway during the half-year ending June 30 last had been carried on with much success, and that the relaying of toe existing line had been completed with the exception of about two miles, the rails for which were now in course of shipment. On the subject of the light engines, the manager stated that the working of the trains continued most satisfactory, and that the two tank engines more than maintained their character for economy in working and regularity in running.. The accounts to June 30 last were made up in Liverpool by pub lic accountants of eminence, and had been carefully audited; the traffic receipts for the past half• year amounted to £9,510, being £7.73 less than for the corresponding period of 1861; the working expenses, however, had been so much dimi nished that the net revenue showed an increase, notwith standing the falling off in the receipts, of £9BO, and amounted to £2,000. In addition to this, more than half of the £ 3,307 expended under the head of maintenance of way was an ex traordinary outlay for the reconstruction of the old line. Means for completing the railway to Mahaica had been pro vided, and the liberal concession offered to the company by the Colonial ordnance of November, 1859, would thus be secured. The directors anticipated from the extension a material addition to the traffic receipts, without a propor tionate increase of working expenses, and they had taken measures to carry out the extension with all prudent de spatch. The conversion of all claims upon the company into new preference stock was proceeding in the most satis factory manner, and there was no reason to doubt that the line would be completed at a cost to the shareholders within the original estimate. In forming the present Board it was thought desirable that the shareholders both in Lon don and Liverpool should be represented—an arrangement which the directors hoped would be regarded with general satisfaction. The capital account showed that £292,891 had been received and £284,847 expended, leaving a balance in stores and cash of £8,044. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, stated that since the 30th of June last they continued to receive the same satisfactory accounts of a reduction in the expenditure. This had been effected by the renewal of the parmanent way and the employment of a lighter class of engines to work the traffic. The crippled state of the com pany's finances had long retarded those improvements. It was only by great care and economy and the liberality of the colony that they had been enabled to get the two light engines which were now working so satisfactorily. They expected an increase in the net revenue from a reduction of expenses in working the line, and. from an increase of traffic on opening the extension line to Mahaica, The extension would be proceeded with and completed as soon as possible. They would all work for the good of the concern, and en deavour to obtain a better result than had ever been attained by their predecessors. Sir J. - CARMICHAEL seconded the motion for the adop tion of the report, and it was carried unanimously. The Liverpool auditors, Messrs. Gordon and Waterhouse, resigned on the removal of the offices to London, and Messrs. Bankhart and Randell were elected auditors for the ensuing year. Thanks were voted to Messrs. Gordon and Waterhouse for their past services, and the proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING THURSDAY. _ _ _ The chief business of the morning seemed to be the sale of horses in training belonging to the great French stable now at Newmarket, which divided people's attention with the adjustment of accounts on Wednesday's racing. The intention of the sellers is explained by the fact that five lots only were sold, and the Derby favourite bought in, although 4,000 guineas were offered for him. A slight mist suc ceeded a white frost at 12 o'clock, but it soon cleared off, and a fine autumnal afternoon followed. The racing was very good, several races producing large fields. A slight confu sion occurred in putting up the number of the winner of the third race, and a very long delay took place in a half-mile handicap, when a two-yr-old ran away with its tiny jockey and galloped five miles. Much time was thus lost, but a walk-over for a free handicap enabled the last two races to be expedited—and a subscription plate, which closed the proceedings, was run within a few minutes of the prescribed time. The winner of this race ran out at the finish, and knocked down Mr. H. May, the trainer. Lord Stamford at once galloped into the town, and sent Mr. Faircloth, the surgeon, to the 'spot on his hack; in a few minutes the sufferer becsme sensible, and was pronounced to have had no bone broken. No betting on future events came under our notice during the day. Match. Last half mile of R.M., 1 mile 17 yards. 300 sovs, 10 ft. Capt. Lamb's King of the Forest, aged, 7st 71b (A. Edwards) 1 Mr. C.
