A chemist of that city having accidentally itsome hydrochloric acid on a terrace of his, found that it h ardened the spot on which it had fallen, and maintained that ti slate of permanent moisture. This led him to think "" by watering the streets with this acid the dust on large e s Naraised roads might be laid, or rather prevented from - le l l g. Experiments were first made on the Cours :11,Napo between the Rhone and the Perrache station. Tho t if"Fei was complete, and has also proved durable, the car -1111"ay having now been several months free from dust; %Bother experiment is now being made on the Place alth ec ° ll r. During the hottest part of the day the qound, e e ° ugh dry and gravelly, has the appearance of being as h e llstent and damp as if it had been watered half an hour i ti ,re. Ent as evening approaches the moisture become . s stif f ° and more perceptible, every morning the ground is tirs er and more comfortable to walk on. This may be easily f o Zunted for ; the acid decomposing the gravel or stone, r -. " °lle or several deliquescent salts, which therefore at t: et the moisture of the air.

HALF-YEARLY MEETING—(THIS DAY.) The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was held this day at the Bridge-house Hotel. The chair was occupied by J. Byng, Esq. The report of the directors, which has already appeared in The Sun, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN rose for the purpose of moving its adop tion. He congratulated the proprietors on the increasing prosperity of the line, and said the accounts which had been placed in their hands would render it unneces sary for him to detain the meeting at any great length. It would be seen that after paying and providing for all expenses there would remain a balance available for dividend on the ordinary stock of the company of £149,788 16s. Id. A dividend of 12s. per £3O stock, or at the'rate of 4 per cent., would absorb a sum of £148,674, leaving a balance to be carried forward of £1,114 16s. ld., and this dividend the directors recommended the proprietors to adopt. If that recommendation was agreed to, it would show an increase of one per cent. as compared with the corresponding half-year of 1858. (Hear.) The directors assured the proprietors that there had been no relaxation on their part in developing the traffic on the South-Eastern Railway. The engineer's report showed a large expendi ture, but the favourable results that must ensue would fully justify the outlay. The increase of their traffic was another source of congratulation, the more so as it arose from the steady growth of the local traffic to and from the whole of the stations on the main, North Kent, and branch lines. The great increase of continental business at Folkestone had rendered it necessary to enlarge the customs' examining warehouse, while the new works at Dover would enable the company, in accordance with the arrangements entered into with the authorities, to run their engines, trains, and passengers directly on to the Admiralty pier, which would greatly facilitate the mails now carried by the company. (Hear, hear.) The next subject to which he would allude was the Charing-cross Railway. (Hear, hear.) The directors, seeing the great benefit that was to be derived from the completion of such a project, recommended the proprietors to authorise them to exercise the powers conferred upon the company by the Charing-cross Railway Act, and to sanction the issue of £300,000 in 4i per cent. preference shares, in order that, so far as their line was concerned, no time might be lost in proceeding vigorously with the execution of so important an undertaking. The completion of the Charing-cross Railway would bring the South-Eastern Railway to the very heart of the metropolis ; and a more desirable station for a terminus than Charing cross could not be fixed upon, as it was agreed upon all hands that it offered facilities of the best descrip tion. The want of a West-end terminus for the various lines of the South-Eastern Railway had long been felt ; and the directors thought that the proper accommodation of the public, as well as the more effective development of the traffic ought not to be postponed for a day longer than was necessary for provid ing and completing such an undertaking. (Hear, hear.) The honourable gentleman having alluded to the other minor subjects mentioned in the direc tors' half-yearly statement, concluded by moving that the report be adopted. _ _ Mr. Gottvox seconded the motion. A short discussion ensued, at the termination of which the report was unanimously agreed to. A resolution authorising the payment of the dividend, mentioned in the report, on Thursday, the Bth of Septem ber, was also agreed to unanimously. After the business of the ordinary meeting had been transacted, a special general meeting was held for the pur pose of authorising the directors to take the necessary steps to exercise the power• conferred by the Charing-cross Rail way Act, by contributing £300,000 towards the funds of that undertaking. _ _ _ The proceedings terminated with the usual vote of thanks ,o the Chairman.

Without reflection, all the party collected on the other side, and this caused the boat to upset. The seven eccle siastics and their companion, together with two men and a boy who were with them, were precipitated into the water. Some of them clung to the boat for some time, but eventu ally, of the eleven persons, all were drowned except one of the priests and the boy, who swam ashore. Four of the clergymen were professors of the ecclesiastical college at Angers, the other three of Les Couets at Nantes." STOCK AND SHARE MARKET.—The fluctuations in the stock and share market during the past month, which in July were to the extent of 31 per cent., have on this oc casion been only 11 per cent., and the general operations of the month have resulted in establishing a rise of exactly one per cent., although there has been no material change in foreign politics, the advance on the Paris Bourse having been only fractional, and the Bank in the interval have ex perienced a further reduction of about £600,000 in their stock of bullion. It may therefore be assumed that the confidence of the country in the probable avoidance of diffi culties has increased in proportion to the vigour displayed with regard to the national defences. In railway securities many kinds show a further improvement of about 3 per cent., but in some cases the quotations have been stationary or flat. Throughout the month the rate of discount has generally been about a quarter per cent. below the Bank minimum of 2 . 1 per cent. MURDER BY A PHYSICIAN.—A shocking tragedy, by which Louisa Cooke, a servant girl, only 15 years of age, lost her life, occurred yesterday at Lydney, a small town between Gloucester and Chepstow. It appears from the evidence given on the coroner's inquest that at 6 o'clock on Tuesday morning Dr. Pownall, who has been staying for the last three weeks at the house of Mr. Leete, a surgeon at Lydney, knocked at the bedroom door of the servants, and called them up. The poor girl, Louisa Cooke, in answer to his summons, dresse d h e rself quickly and went out. In a minute or two a faint cry of " murder" was heard, and immediately afterwards she rushed into Mr. Leete's bed room with her throat cut, exclaiming " Master, he has mur dered me • I must die," having repeated which two or three times she fell down dead. Dr. Pownall, who did not at tempt to deny the charge, said, when brought before the coroner, " I can tell you ; I unfortunately did it. I can hardly assign any motive. I felt I was bound to do some thing, and I could not resist it." Evidence was given to show that Dr. Pownall had been an inmate for some time of Northwood's asylum, near Bristol, but had been recently discharged as cured, with a certificate to that effect from Dr. Davey, the medical superintendent ; and until this oc currence had afforded by his conduct no grounds to doubt that his reason had been restored. The jury returned a verdict of " wilful murder" against Dr. Povenall,.and he was yesterday removed to Gloucester county prison to await his trial at the next assizes. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PERSONATING A CHECK-TAKER.-AN ARTFUL TRICK. —William M'lntosh, a lad in the employ of a music printer, in Soho, was charged with obtaining three checks, at the Soho Theatre, Dean-street, by false pretences, in the following artful manner : Mrs. Charlotte Eliza Brooks, of 81, Pratt-street, Somers town, said that between eight and nine, on the previous night, she went to the Soho Theatre, with her two children, and having paid at the door, and received three checks, she was proceeding upstairs, and on reaching the first landing the accused, who was standing there, said in rather an - thorative manner, and assuming the style of a regular check-taker, " Checks, checks," and, believing he was the proper person, she at once handed them to him, and on reaching the next landing her progress was stopped by another demand for her checks, and shs then found she had been defrauded. Having spoken to the constable on duty, and given him a description of the accused, he was shortly after (on presenting the check for admission) taken into custody—two other lads having previously gone in with the other checks. Police-constable 61 C proved being on duty at the theatre and taking accused into custody from the informa tion of the witness, and on charging him with the fraud he said he bought them in the street of a boy, but although he gave him a chance of pointing him out by taking him into the street he could not do so. Mr. Bingham said he would remand him till Saturday, 'king his master's bail for his appearance. THAMES. A SUGAR ROBBERY.—John Wyman, a waggoner in the employ of a town carman named Geddes, was charged with stealing 1301bs. weight of sugar from a hogshead entrusted to his care. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner was en trusted with two hogsheads of sugar to be conveyed to the business house of Mr. Edward Marcus Bassano, grocer, of 40, Three Colt-street, Limehouse. One was delivered to him at the sugar refinery of Messrs. Wohlgemath, of Back Church-lane, Whitechapel, and the other at the sugar re finery of Baldwin and Grant, St. George-in-the-East. Both hogsheads were in a perfect state when delivered. On the way from the last-named place to Mr. Bassano's shop the prisoner was joined by another man, who got into the waggon containing the two hogsheads of sugar, and proceeded to tamper with one of them. The attention of Bartholomew, a police-constable, No. 100 K, was called to the prisoner and his confederate in Narrow street, Limehouse. They were doing some thing to one of the hogsheads, and as the police constable approached the waggon, one of the men jumped from it into the road and ran away. The prisoner also jumped from the van and was immediately taken into custody and secured. Bartholo mew then got into the waggon and searched it, and found a bag containing 130 lbs. of sugar, which had been abstracted from one of the hogsheads of sugar delivered to the prisoner by the servants of Messrs. Wohlgemath and Co. The tin over the sample-hole of the hogshead had been forcibly removed, and the sugar scooped out of the hogshead with part of an iron hoop, which had been bent for the purpose. The instrument, covered with sugar, was found in the waggon. A large piece of granite, which had been used to remove the tin over the sample-hole, was also found •in the waggon. It was proved that the sample-hole of the hogs head of sugar was covered with a piece of block tin and nailed down before it left Messrs. Wohlgematlis premises, and the deficiency to the extent of 1301b5., the exact quan tity found in the bag, was also clearly made out. Prepa rations had been made for plundering the other hogshead of sugar in a similar manner, and the robbery would have been completed but for the vigilance of the officer. It was stated that many similar robberies had been com mitted in the public streets by waggoners, and thieves con nected with them, and that the wholesale and retail grocers and sugar refiners had been great sufferers. The depositions were formally taken by Mr. Pyer, the chief clerk, and the prisoner was committed for trial. THIS DA YS MARKE7'S. CORN EXCHANGE. IMPERIAL WEEKLY AVERAGES.

The 37th report of the Inspectors-General on the general state of the prisons of Ireland (1858) has appeared in the shape of a thick pocket blue-hook. The report properly so called states that on New Year's-day, 1859, there were 2,844 prisoners im mured in the gaols and prisons of. Ireland, against 3,265 in 1858, 3,419 in 1857, 3,561 in 1856, and 5,080 in 1855. _ It is gratifying to be informed that crime has largely decreased in Ireland. The re duction in crime in 1858 has even exceeded that in 1857, and is, on the whole, more satisfactory in its nature than in any of the precedidg years in which this gratifying result has been noticed, for it has been more substantial, more general, and more equally d'stributed. In 1857, although the decrease was large, it was almost entirely confined to females; but in 1858 it has taken place in both sexes to nearly the same amount, not only as re gards the number of committals, but also in the daily average number confined in prisons. In juvenile crime, too, the improvement noticed last year has been fully Maintained, the number of offenders of this class having fallen to such an amount as may easily be dealt with in the refor matories which are being established throughoht the country. Last year misdemeanours and drunk enness formed exceptions to the general rule of the diminution of crime ; but an examination of the tables will show that in 1858 there was a decrease in every description of crime, with the sole excep tion of breaches of the revenue laws, in which a very trifling increase has occurred, and in military offences. Crime has decreased in the county and city of Dublin (the city being a county in itself), in Cork (county and city), in the city of Limerick, in Wick low, in both ridings of Tipperary, in Queen's County, and in Carlow. Crime has increased, as regards both sexes, in Antrim _Louth, and Donegal ; as regards males, in Meath, Roscommon, Sligo, and Fermanagh ; and as to females, in Drogheda (Louth), King's County, and the city of Kilkenny. The decrease in the commitals of 1858 was 5,667, or 14 per cent.—viz., 15 per cent. in the and 12 in the female. The committals of females were 43 per cent. of the whole, against 42 in 1857. It appears from the premises that the reduction of crime, which in 1857 was exclusively confined to females, was in 1858 distributed equally, or nearly so, between the two sexes. The largest decrease occurs under the Vagrant and Larcency Acts. Drunkenness has also apparently diminished very considerably, but the tables afford no certain test. Four men were condemned to death last year, and 243 to penal servitude for life and for various terms ; 107 women were also so condemned. 63 per sons were fined, and the sentences of 155 were re sPited and not passed. 14,246 males and 12,507 - females were sentenced to various terms of impri sonment. Of 33,999 persons of both sexes com mitted last year, 9,493 read and wrote, 6,662 read imperfectly, 1,718 could spell, 1,214 knew their letters, and 14,498 were " wholly illiterate ;" 3,795 only of those committed were Protestants, and 709 Presbyteriaps. The great majority-29,027—being members of the Romish persuasion, or Papists. There is a marked decrease of juvenile crime : one fourth of those committed were orphans, and two fifths of them had lost one parent. " Reformatory schools alone can provide for this class." As to the state of education of the prisoners on committal, there has been scarcely any change in the last two years; the improvement observable in the males in this respect, in 1857, not having pro gressed, and, on the other hand, the females not having retrograded, as was the case in 1857. Of the males committed in 1858, 37 per cent. could read and write well, and 35 per cent. were wholly illi terate. Of the females, only 15 per cent. could read and write well, while no less than 52 per cent. of them were wholly illiterate. From the above return it appears that 11.2 per cent. of the prisoners committed in 1858 belonged to the Established Church ; 2.36 per cent. were Pres byterians ; and 86.33 per cent. were Romanists. The gaols were very healthy during the year ; only 38, or 1 in 1,000, died, against 61, or 1 in 719, in 1857. The expenditure of all the gaols was £73,834 against £77,056 in 1857. The total cost of each prisoner was £23 18s. 9.6 d. against £22 55., 7.7 d. in 1857. The inspectors appear to prefer the " separate" to the " classification system of disci pline. RUSSIAN ENCROACHMENTS IN CHINA AND JAPAN. The privilege of having a regularly established religious and scientific mission at Pekin could not fail to be highly advantageous to their aggressive policy; and we therefore safely infer that the " few worthless provinces"—as the Russians are pleased to term them—in the Amoor district, were tacitly under the government of the Czar. That this policy of Russia, silently but surely carried on, had the best result, may be gathered from the fact that, in 1842, " the Emperor of China ceded to Russia a vast tract of territory between the Yablonoi Mountains and the north bank of the Amoor." Not a word is said as to the conditions under which this district was ceded, not a word about the consideration, and further, we are left completely in the dark as to the real extent of this district; various authors dis agree as to the line of boundary, but, by placing different accounts together, we are enabled to gather that, not only is the whole of the naviga tion of the splendid River Amoor in the hands of the Russians, but that the whole territory between that river and the mountain range just mentioned has been quietly delivered over to that power. That is to say, a large fertile district abound ing in all the products which nature has lavished on that part of the world--in round num bers, a thousaad miles long, and with an average breadth of three hundred—has become Russian territory, under the very nose of the other great Western Powers, and scarcely nothing known about it. This acquisition will enable the Rus sians to extend their commercial relations with the great empires of the East ; the fertile portions of Siberia will be—by the light-draught steamers now being sent for the Amoor navigation to that river—brought into contact with the Pacific. The produce of the rich mines of Nertchinsk will be readily conveyed down the river to the coast of China and the Islands of Japan, and every advan tage will be taken of the extreme richness of the soil for the purposes of cultivation.—China Tele graph. THE INDIA LOAN. The average price at which the new India Loan has been taken is a little over 971 per cent., viz., £97 3s. 21. Regarding the loan as redeemable at par ten years hence, this price shows an annual re turn of £5 7s. 6d. per cent. The delay in the pay ment of the instalments, however, whilst the full dividend is accruing, brings the average subscrip tion price down really to about 951, which during ten years represents a return of £5 11 s. 2d. per cent. per annum. This is the real cost to the Indian Government of the present loan. It is luite reason able to regard this as a loan for ten years, the pro bability being that by the expiration of that term the state of the Indian finances will either be much improved—in which case the holders will be paid off—or so greatly embarrassed that the grant of the imperial guarantee will have become inevitable. The successful bids for the Indian Loan, from 97 per teat. upwards, have been published. The sub joined list of the rejected tenders is interesting, as showing that, had the Council of India fixed their reserved price 1 per cent. lower, viz., at £96, in stead of the limit judiciously decided upon, an ad ditional sum of two millions would have been secured, in addition to the surplus of £824,750, which, though tendered at £97, was rejected. The amount of the unsuccessful bids between £96 and. £96 10s, both inclusive, was £1,369,500, and be tween £96 and £96 17s. 6d., £2,002,000.

The India scrip is now ready for delivery, and may be written into the Bank books to-day, and transferred like any other stock on Saturday. It might be transferred even on Friday on payment of an exceptional fee of ss. per £l,OOO. It appears that the average of the prices at which the India loan was taken is £97 3s. 2d. The rejected ten ders, which ranged from 95 to 96A, including more than half a million at 96, and nearly three-quarters of a million at about 961, amounted to £2,164,500 which, with £824 t 750 in excess at 97, shows the total of unsuccessful applications to have been £2,989,250. The amount of the India loan paid up in full yesterday was about £700,000. THE LA TB LORD-SEYMOU.R. One o •the. best-known Englishmen in Paris, Lord Seymour, brother of Lord Hertford, has just died in Paris 'rather unexpectedly, at the age of 54, of an attack: of gout. He was a man remark able in more than one respect, but, above all,.for his gr.at and almost unique skill in handling sword and pistol, for which reason his friends had nick named him the Chevalier de Saint George. In his youth he was of herculean strength of body, and as he was sent over to Paris early for the purposes of education, and in the circles to which he was re commended men of equal muscular force were very rare (then the same as they are now), he soon got into the habit of making nocturnal excursions, and trying "rounds" with hail porters, Savoyards, and water-carriers. 'M an y are the stories still afloat about the noble lord and his prowess ; among others, of how he put seven policemen, who tried to interfei e with his amusements, into a big tub, and set a greengrecEr's stall, from the Marches des Innocents, on the top of it ; and how, another time, he floored a whole regiment of commissionaires, who, attracted by his fame, had come expressly to his residence to try "le box." But perhaps the following is the best anecdote connected with the late lord, though not showing his strength, but his ever-ready wit :—About the year 1835 or 1836 there was one evening a great ball at the house of Baron Rothschild, in the Rue Lafitte, and the string of carriages containing the invited guests was of such a length as to fill all the adjoining streets, among them the Rue Lepelletier, where the Opera is situated. Thus it happened that my Lord Seymour, issuing with his friends from the Maison d'Or, where they had just had their dinner, and ready to enter the opera, suddenly found his way interrupted. He waited—not patiently, but the contrary —one, two, three minutes; but the file of carriages keeping on increasing he suddenly be thought himself of ending the time of expectaEon by seeking a new road to the theatre. Opening the door of the biggest and most stately-looking carriage, he made a profound bow to its inmates, and, clearing the space above their knees in one , jump, he, again profoundly bowing, made his exit as before. The .example of my lord was infecting. First his friends, then the bystanders, who had been waiting some time, then the idlers about the streets, then the newsmen with their papers, and the butcher-boys with their trays—all made their way in rapid succession through the gilded carriage, till at length its inside looked like a public thoroughfare. All the while the owner of the car riage, a German baron, and accredited ambassador of one of the most important members of the Con federation—had been reclining in his seat, at the side of his better half, in perfect speechless astonish ment. That a revolution had thoroughly broken out in Paris—that the mob was storming the houses, and forming barricades of all the vehicles, was the first thought entering his mind, and, fat and helpless as he was, he already began giving himself up for lost. Great, therefore, was his astonishment, and equally his rage, when at length the true cause of the invasion of his carriage was made clear to him. Burning with anger he at once ordered the coachman to drive, instead. of to Baron Rothschild's, to the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, to demand his passports for what he imagined to be a public breach of diplomatic pri vilege. All the eloquence of Monsieur Guizot was unable at first to soften the irate baron, and it was only after an investigation had been made, in which it was found that Lord Seymour was the sinner, and after it had been shown to his excellency that if his state should make war on France for the insult it would have to attack England at the same time, on account of the aggressor being a British subject, that he allowed himself at length to be pacified. So ended this important affair, another illustration of the old truth, of how little causes often bring about great events. It may be imagined Lord Seymour, in his latter days, gave up amusements of this kind; but he continued not the less an ardent ad mirer of games, field sports, and other manly exer cises. He was one of the founders of the Jockey Club, and did a good deal towards the improvement of the breed of horses, a science very little under stood in France.—Court Circular. CHERBOU_RG. On landing we met an officer of the douaniers, whose duty it was to receive us, and riot only by hint, but by every official with whom we came in contact, the most marked civility was shown. At ten o'clock we all met, by appointment, at the Em peror's statue, and proceeded to the dockyard, every part of which was open to us ; the buildings, slips, the machinery, the storehouses, were all in a com plete state, similar, but not superior, to our own. The tidal basins are certainly vast and commo dious, and by having such a depth of water the men-of-war lay afloat ; and I was informed that they Could come in, and be taken out, at any time of tide, indeed I saw the Emperor's new yacht come out at low water. There can be no doubt that a very large fleet of steamers might assemble in these basins, take their troops on board, and proceed to sea with every facility. On leaving the dockyard, we ascended to Fort Roule, standing at a great elevation, and, no doubt, is a commanding situation ; but at present there are no embrasures or a gun mounted. I rode up, but did not like the descending in a carriage, and so footed it. I have been told since that the Queen did the same, which I think was discreet. We then drove about three miles to Fort Des Flamand, which certainly is capable of doing great execution ; it is just raised above the sea, so that its guns would have great effect, and is surrounded by the sea, having a drawbridge for communication with the land. At five o'clock we re-embarked at the wharf in the harbour, and proceeded to the Digue, as the French call it, on which a great number of our pas sengers landed. The wall is perpendicular, which it appears the sea must have great power on, as in the year 1808 the centre fortification was washed away, and upwards of two hundred soldiers were drowned; it is now rebuilt.. The Eastern Battery has notbeen finished, indeed you can see the ravages which the sea has made on it, the upper part of its walls hav ing been wished away. The Western Battery has a rent in its exterior wall from top to bottom, and the foundation is said also to have settled ; to my unscientific mind, a most extraordinary remedy has been applied ; thousands of tons of hewn stone have been thrown into the sea to protect its sides, and an immense quantity of stone has been built up on the battlements to settle the building down. This formed a wall about 10 feet high ; but the power of the sea has been such that a vast chasm has been made, and the greater part of these stones have been washed to the east side, nearly filling up a large camber, constructed to receive barges or boats with supplies for the fort. • From what is here shown, one may form some idea of the probability that were guns mounted • there the forts would bear their discharges. That the erection is of infinite importance to the formation of a spacious harbour is undoubted, but if for offensive operations is yet to be proved.— . Plymouth Mail. THE BRILLIANT AURORA BOREALIS. The following letter has been addressed to a con temporary by Mr. E. J. Lowe : Sir,—Last night and this morning there was an unusually brilliant display of Aurora Borealis; un fortunately the cloudy state of the sky frequently prevented more than the strong light being seen. Where less cloudy the phenomenon must have been very grand. From S4O p.m. until 9 p .m. curtains of red thelig g h l t a N r v e e r o e f o visible rang n e e the t zenith. By no Bryth 1140 was powerful enough (even throush . much cloud) to make the bands of a watch visible. From mid night, for three-quarters of an hour, the sky was over cast ; yet at 12 25 a.m: the light emitted was so strong that it gave the impression of daylight. The clouds in west and northwest were inky bl ac k. At 12 45 an opening (in the clouds) n ear th e zen ith surrounded a A n l p ever-changingh A n d r by y m aedm white a t l s i cs i i s r oe star t e ar b v e m i n os g rt disclosed the cupola, which was situ a t e d exac tl y on more i e n farme o cis p u e oe n fn strpli frequently h c b e ty: In a few minutes again overcas t, y and remaining so till 1 10, when the clouds began to clear off. At 115 a.m. magnificent rays of light met 2 deg. east of Alpha Andromethe, where a wing-shaped mass of Aurora was situated ; each ray as it approached this spot became" bended." At this time three-fourth* of the sky were covered with Aurora. In the north north-west there was a long black cloud - like lin e, which travelled slowly eastward. At 125 a.m. its south end was passing across Capella, which star shone brightly through it. From 130 till 2 30 , much cloud. At 2 30. there being more clear sky, a splendid mass of Aurora B orealis was viouble, forming an ever-changing cupola close to Grim ma Trianguli ; 3 15 less brig ht. All the corns. c ations moved slowly eastward. Th e wind south till I . 30 a.m., then south-west.
