GREY, Author of " The Gambler's Wife," etc. Hurst and Blackett, 13, Great Marlborough-street. The half-yearly meeting of this company- was held yesterday at the London Tavern—Mr. E. Simpson in the chair. The report stated that the expenditure on capital account during the half-year amounted to £21,351. The revenue account showed an increase of £1,9C6 as compared with the corresponding period of 1860, not including the disputed items. After paying the interest on the A and B stocks in full, there re mained sufficient to pay a dividend at the rate of £6 ss. per cent. per annum on the C stock. The directors had agreed with the promoters of the Eastern Counties Amalgamation Bill that the terms of amalgamation applicable to the East Anglian should be that the latter were to receive, after pay ment of all its preference stocks, a guaranteed mini mum of £1 per cent. on the ordinary stock from the Ist January, 1863, with two-fifths of the in crease of the Eastern Counties dividend over 3 per cent, in every future half-year. The directors trusted the proprietors would agree with them that those terms were fair and reasonable, under the circum stances. The works on the Lynn and Hunstanton line were progressing most satisfactorily,and it was anticipated the railway would be opened for traffic in the ensuing summer. The revenue account for the half-year chewed that £27,122 had been re ceived, and £12,525 expended, leaving a balance of £14,597. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, explained the difficulties the directors had to encounter in bringing about the terms of amal gamation that had just been agreed to unanimously by the boards of the two companies. Mr. HERAPATII congratulated the directors on the result of their labours. He thought they should be very careful as to the wording of the clauses in the bill, so as to prevent any dispute at a future time. _ _ The Innkeepers' Stakes of 3 sous each, with 24 added, for .3-yr-olds and upwards ; m. and g. allowed 31b., with maiden and selling allowances.

"Mr. Kent has undeniable merits—warm and high-toned feeling, a pleasant combination of grace and humour, and no small power to individualise. Pope at Twickenham' is a cabinet picture. Marianne' will commend itself to all mothers by its gush of parental tenderness, and its acquaint ance with baby wiles and mysteries. Fructidor' shows what Dutch fidelity of word painting the author can master when he tries. His fruit is as vivid and well characterised as if Lance had painted it."—Athenaeum. "The charm of Mr. Kent's poetry, as it is the first condi tion of success to all poets, is that he is in sympathy with his subject and not only with himself ; that he is truly poet and not egotist. Ent it is by no means his only merit. Re is a mas ter of versification. The flow of his verse is smooth and me lodious, and enriched with a copious and ornate vocabulary. `Shelley at Marlow' is a painting exquisitely delicate. The vision of Shelley with which Mr. Kent presents us is almost perfect. 'DREAMLAND is a work conceived in a noble spirit, and executed with scholarly taste, frequently with flashes of true poetic inspiration. fhe Dying Bridegroom' is distinguished by a genuine pathos, which leads us to be lieve that Mr. Kent would succeed eminently in some story of the affections."—The London Review. "Mr. Kent's poems come before the world with the advan tage, not only of an author's name, but of a name already agreeably and musically known in the metrical literature of the day. His Aletheia' was very favourably received by the public, and has no doubt been the companion of many thoughtful readers who will gladly welcome another volume from his pen. A series of portraits drawn with true poetic sympathy and veneration. The best of all, we think, is that of Scott. There is something in the lines that will remind the reader of the chime of Scott's own verse."—John Bull.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. fickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Cireular. " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter." — Dublin Medical Press.

" The Use and the Abuse of the Turkish Bath.—A very useful pamphlet has been published by Dr. Culverwell, the proprietor of the Turkish Baths in the neighbourhood of the Post-office, which presents to the uninitiated a mass of inte resting information, while those who have already encouraged this new system will derive additional advantage if they observe some of the practical regulations which the writer endeavours to enforce."—lierald and Standard, Nov. 12, 1861. " The Post-office Turkish Bath., 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand. —Dr. Culverwell has already established the reputation of an able physician ; he has now proved himself to be a worthy philanthropist. in as far as he has established, in the heart of the City, an institution that more nearly , than any disco very of monern days, goes nearer the abolition of the practice of physic, than any proposition or invention yet established, the Turkish Bath. . . Our object being merely to direct the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess one of the best set of baths, at 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand, which the country can produce; perfect in all Its appliances, and most admirable in effect. Dr. Culverwell has fitted up his baths with a degree of elegance, luxury, and refinement, which, considering the space at his disposal, is truly sur prising, while everything that taste or delicacy could desire has been obtained to add to the comfort and luxury of the visitor. . . We may justly say that if a man ever feels himself regenerated and new made, it is on:COming out of a Turkish Bath."—lra, Oct_ 13, 1861.

The ordinary meeting of the proprietors was held yesterday at the offices, Pall-mall-east, Mr. fl. D. Davies in the chair. _ _ Mr. LOUTTIT, the Secretary, read the report, which stated that the progress of the engine was highly satisfactory. It had removed for Messrs. J. Penn and Son immense loads of machinery with ease. The directors had now the fullest confidence in the ultimate success of their system of steam traction. The Government had also ordered one of these engines for work in Woolwich dockyard. The amount of the present capital, with all debts and liabilities, was less than £30,000. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the proprietors that they could now carry heavy loads with rapidity and pre cision, and that by means of the traction engine on common roads they could carry goods at the rate of 4d. per ton which by other methods would cost from Bd. to 9d. An advantage in favour of the company's engines was that they were noiseless, and there was no escape of steam. The report on the motion of Captain YOUNG was carried unanimously, and on the motion of Captain WELLS, seconded by Major CAMPBELL, the direc tors were authorised to take the necessary steps for increasing the capital of the company. Messrs. Simeon and Osborne having been re elected directors, and Messrs. Grey and Davenport auditors, the meeting separated. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE WEEK. Miles Opened. Receipts.

The improvements recently effected in, the system of instruction pursued at the Royal Engineer Esta lishment, Chatham, as well as the increase made in the number of subjects connected with the theory and practice of military engineering which the offi cers and men of the Royal. Engineers have to acquire before they have completed their curriculum of in struction, have necessitated a considerable augmenta- tion in the staff of instructors and assistant instruc tors in the different schools and departments of the establishment at headquarters, as the number of instructors hitherto employed has been found alto gether insufficient for the present requirements of the establishment. The Duke of Cambridge has ac cordingly sanctioned the appointment of six addi tional instructors, raising the total number at head quarters to 14, who will be distributed as follows— viz., five fieldwork instructors, two surveying and levelling instructors, one photographic instructor, one telegraphic instructor, one topographical in structor, one lithographic instructor, and one labo ratory instructotr„ Previously to the employment of permanent instructors the officers and men were put through a course ofinfitruction in a body, under the superinthndence of the nor-commissioned offi cers of the company to which they were attached, but under the new arrangement the Royal Engi neers will go through the course of fieldwork in struction according to classes, each class being under the superintendence of an instructor, while each officer and man will have to pass an exami nation by Lieut.-Col. Lovell, C. 8., the chief field work instructor, before he will be dismissed from the ficldworks to join the other classes. The Lords of the Admiralty have sanctioned an exchange of divisions between Lieut.-Colonel C. 0. Hawley, of the Portsmouth Division, and Lieut.- Col. W. S. Aslett, of the Plymouth Division. The corps of Royal Marines being below its re quired strength the following officers have been detached from the head-quarters of several divi sions, and are employed in superintending the re cruiting at the stations named :—Lieut.-Col.

An experiment of a very interesting character to volunteers was yesterday made at the range of the St. George's Rifles, at Wormwood Scrubs, and a number of gentlemen of rank and position connected with volunteer regiments were present—among them, Lord Elam, M.P., W. Wells, Eiq., Mr. Evans, A. L 1 ; Col. W ee d, P a ddi ng t on Rifl es ; C ap t. Fenton, West Middl esex ; Major Ives, St. George's ; Captain Pugh an d Lieutenant litimphreN-s. The Metropolitan Rifl e Range Company having adopted the targets of Messrs. S. C. Hemmings and Co., who have bought the patent of M. Chevalier, com menced a trial of an electric target, at half-past one o'clock in the afternoon. The principle of the patent is as follows :—The target is divided into ten portions—bull's-eye, centre, left, right, upper, lower, upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right. As a shot strikes any one of these divisions a ball at the back is driven away with some force, and by its percussion completes the electric circuit, the needle on the indicator at the firing point making a notation corresponding to the impingement of the shot. Twenty- eight shots were fired, at the 150 yards range, and all of these were exactly indicated with one exception, the failure of which was owing to a break in one of the wires, which were all much too small to stand their work. Removing to 400 yards, other 28 shots were fired, and all the hits out of this number were ex actly recorded on the indicator. Considering the disadvantages under which the trial was conducted the experiment must be regarded as eminently suc cessful. Doubtless when the target is properly and permanently fixed, and the indicator is not liable to accident and disturbance by being shifted from place to place in a truck, the invention will show up better than it has done. As it is, however, we have seen. enough to convince us that in the inven tion there are the germs of a complete revolution in the system of marking. Ere long we shall be able to get rid of the expense now incurred by pay ing a staff of markers, since the wages of a marker for one year would buy a machine, which will last for many years. More than this, by a different arrangement of the sections or divisions of the tar get the marking will come to be more exact, and this is a desideratum which the council of the National Rifle Association will do much to bring about, if, as appears probable, they will at the next Wimbledon meeting adopt a new arrangement in marking for the all-comers prizes. We must con gratulate Mr. Hemming and the managers of the Metropolitan Rifle-range Company upon yesterday's success, which, although but qualified, affords a guarantee for the ultimate triumph of the principle. We trust that a " fixed" trial may soon be made, when we shall be glad to chronicle the results, and all the more readily if, as we expect, they should turn out to place the success of electric targets as opposed to individual marking beyond a question. It is clear that, when once arranged, wires can have no favourites, and they do not become sleepy or lazy, as volunteer experience shows that markers have an unpleasant habit of doing now and then. THE CASE OP THE OFFICERS OF THE INDIAN ARMY. Under the old furlough regulations an officer was permitted to go to Europe for three, or even five years, without prejudice to his rank in the service, the promotion to the superior grades not being affected by absence. The only penalty was loss of service for retiring pensions if the leave exceeded the regulated period, which (under the new furlough regulations) was reduced to two years in 20, or three in 25 years of actual service. By her Majes ty's warrant, dated the 13th of January, 1860, the new rank of surgeon-major was conferred upon officers of the Indian army after a period of 20 years' service, and this was reckoned from date of commission by the Indian Government, and a large number of promotions made. Subsequently, however, an ordnr was received from the Secretary of State for India, and published by the Governor- General and Viceroy, on the 26th December, 1860, ruling that in future no time passed out of India will be allowed to qualify for the rank of surgeon major, beyond the proportion of furlough which is now or may be allowed to reckon as service for retiring pension. In consequence of this order being made retrospective from the date of its re ceipt in India, a new system of promotion was sud denly introduced into the Indian medical service, and several officers who were entitled to promotion were set aside, and the juniors, who had not suf fered from ill-health, and required a lengthened absence on medical certificate, were promoted in their stead. Several memorials have been forwarded to the Secretary of State with the strong support of the heads of the department at the various pre sidencies, bat without avail. The supercession is still being carried on, and old officers of upwards of 20 years' service have now the anomalous posi tion of retrograding in the service, and in some in stances (that of Dr. Shaw, and others of the Bombay medical service) a surgeon of upwards of eight years' standing is superseded by officers who have only held that rank for a few months in the Madras presidency. In this way the seniority principle, which was one of the most cherished privileges of the Indian ser vice, has been entirely set aside, and the position to which officers had attained by many weary years of toil in a hostile climate has been summarily taken from them. All officers of her Majesty's British service attain the rank of surgeon-major after 20 years' service from date of commission, and thus their less fortunate brethren of the Indian army must, as a general rule, be superseded by them. Another grievance which is keenly felt is that, while some old officers are thus being deprived of their proper position in the service, others have been promoted (as Drs. Carnegy, Glasse, and peas, of the Bombay service) who have been on leave for ten, eight, and six years, and thus the whole service is thrown into confusion, and a general feeling of distrust exists as to what may yet be in store. The late Lord Dal housie, Sir James Outram, and other distinguished statesmen have borne testimony to the high deserts of the Indian medical service, and it is an unwise policy which has created the universal feeling of discontent which now prevails among this valuable class of her Majesty's servants. DUBLIN, Friday Morning.—The Government have just made two legal appointments. Mr. Johnson has been removed from the Chairmanship of the county of Longford to that of the West Riding of the county of Cork, and Mr. Loftus Bland has been appointed to the Chairman ship of Longford. Mr. Drummond died yesterday morning at his residence in this city, aged 82. He has left the sum of £20,000 to endow a school for the orphan daughters of soldiers. Ho will be interred on Monday next, the coffin to be borne by soldiers, and the boys of the Royal Hiber nian School attending.

Tho total amount distributed in relief since the formation of the institution was £11,780 12s 55 the total amount raised for the Institution and Retreat being upwards of £50,000. The report stated the satisfac tory progress of the institution, the value and influence of which have long since been acknowledged in the trade. The institution has sustained the loss by death of one of its vice-presidents, Mr. Charles Tilt, on which event his daughter has presented £lOO to the institution. A great loss had also been sustained by the death of Mr. Baldock. Mr. Sharp, through ill health, had retired from the board. ' Mr. Butterworth moved the adoption of the report, which was seconded by Mr. Stewart and agreed to. The officers for they ear ensuing were then nominated, and a vote of thanks having been passed to the officers of the past ye ar ) and to the chairman; the proceedings terminated. Betting-3 to 1 agst Hailstorm, 4to 1 agst Watchfire, 9 to 2 agat the Brahmin, 100 to 15 agat Cheffonier. The favourite was the first to make play (after a couple of false starts), having The Brahmin and Cheffonier in close attendance up to the bend, 'where the favourite and Cheffo nier both fell back beaten. Watchfire, Bernice, and Why Not then took second, third, and fourth places. Imme diately after this Watehfire, with the Brahmin, drew:away from the others, increasing their lead every stride, when the former, after a close finish, won by a head ; Bernice was two lengths behind The Brahmin, and Why Not ahead behind Bernice; Queen of Trumps and the favourite fifth and sixth ; Garrison Beauty and Charles Fox the two last.

As soon as the flag fell the lot got away in good order, but had not proceeded far when Sunflower took the com mand, with Northern Light and Duhallow next in com mand, Romeo, Huntsman, and Black rose next. At the first fence (hurdles) Northern Light nearly came down on his head, but Mr. Goodman quickly steadied him, and he came on to the water jump third; Canteen, following the grey's example, hit the hurdles and rolled over on his side, throwing Meany, and breaking away galloped across the course. After this they charged the water jump, which all got well over, and entered the meadow in the following order, viz., Sunflower, with a lead of half-a-dozen lengths ; , Duhallow second ; Northern Light third ; Romeo, Hunts man, Black Rose, Wee Nell, and Sutherland, with Nelly, a long way behind, last. On rounding the extreme turning flag Black Rose put on the steam, and, running through her horses, soon had a strong lead, which she maintained over each succeeding fence, and, when crossing the road on to the course, close to the Blue Bells, she was at least a hundred yards ahead of Sunflower, who was a dozen lengths in advance of the " grey ;" Romeo was fourth ; Wee Nell, Sutherland, and Huntsman, nearly abreast, next, with Duhallow a long way behind, bringing up the rear, Mr. Land's horse having met with a mishap along the back, thereby losing many lengths. After this Black Rose kept sailing away, entering the straight the second time, nearly twice as far ahead as when she came on to the course. The positions of the others were unchanged, the lot charging the water jump nearly in Indian file, all getting well over that obstacle, and likewise the stiff fence out of the course, where Wee Nell improved her position, but not for long, as the pace was too great for her, and she quickly fell again into the rear. On jumpi ng th e f e nce into the course the. last time, Black Rose w as still leading ; but the pace began to tell on her, and at every stride she appeared to be coming back to her horses, and when the hurdles going into the straight were cleared, both Romeo and the Northern Light were up with her, and be fore they had gone far along the straight. the two had passed her, Northern Light having a slight lead, but it was evident that Romeo had the race in hand ; for immediately after landing over the last hurdles, he drew away from the grey, and won easily by four lengths. Mr. Goodman eased Northern Light when he found he was beat, and Black Rose being persevered with to the end secured the second money by half a length ; Northern Light beating Sunflower by four lengths ; Wee Nell was fifth, Sutherland sixth ; Hunts man walked in, and did not pass the post, Lansplugh get ting off him before entering the paddock ; the Grand Na tional winner having broken down (off fore leg) very badly ; Duhallow and Nelly were both stopped on the far side of the course, and walked home by a nearer cut. The Selling Steeplechase and the Juvenile Selling Stakes did not fill. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-FRIDAY. For the Chester Cup, 20 to 1 was taken about the Black Prince, and 25 to 1 against his stable companion Hadji Stavros. Old Calabar has had supporters for the Two Thousand Guineas at 4 to 1, and not a strong disposition evinced to lay that price. 10 to 1 was freely offered on the field for the Northampton Stakes; but nothing has been done on it during the week. The meagre character of the annexed quotations is attributable to the transactions at Doncaster Meeting.

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE EIGHT-OARED RACE. Both University crews have now entered upon what is called strict training, and but very trifling changes are to be looked for between this and the day of the race. We subjoin below the correct names and weights of the men as they have been rowing during the past week. Both at Oxford and Cambridge, if we may judge by the numbers attracted to the towing path to witness the daily toil, it appears that quite as much interest as ever is taken in this the peerless race of the year. The course, as usual, will be from Putney to Mortlake, and the day has been finally fixed for Saturday, April 12, when it will be high water at London-bridge about noon, so that the race must start near upon that time. Mr. I. W. Chitty, of Exeter College, Orford, will, we hear, again officiate as umpire, and there will be as usual thirteen or fourteen steamboats for the accommodation of the spec tators : st. lb.

The' appendix to the report gives a table re• lating to 266 situations conipeted for in the year,. and for which 715 eligible nominees presented themselves and were examined ; 266 were euccess ful. 141 persons were geminated in the year to clerkships or similar positions, without competition. Of the unsuccessful competitors 41 obtained places sufficiently high to bring them within the number of situations competed for, and would have ,received appointments but that they failed in particular subjects, which were, except in 15 cases, of imoe diate practical utility for the discharge of the off: - vial duties. These failures are of course now very diminished in number by the institution of preli minary test examinations.. In non-competitive examinations there were 2,922 certificates given and 444 rejections.

The number of candidates in 1860 was only 154, last year 171; 49 of these last were sons of clergymen or ministers ' • 36 of the can didates came from Oxford, 34 from Cambridge, 27 from Trinity College, Dublin, 7 from the Queen's University in Ireland (3 from Belfast and 4 from Cork), and 20 from the Scotch Universities. Of the five who stood first, four were Scotch by birth or education. The highest mark for Latin and foi English competition were obtained by Oxford candidates ; one previously educated obtained the highest marks for natural science ; the highest for Sanskrit and for Arabic were ob tained by Irish candidates. The number offering _themselves for examination in Sanskrit, only sir out of an aggregate of 295 candidates in 1855 and the three fallowing years, was 36 last year onf of 171—a very satisfactory change. The examination show some tendency in candidates to diffuse their , , reading over a considerable number of subjects, instead of confining themselves to a few, and ob taining a thorough:knowledge of them. Marks not a a ti! exceeding a tenth of the maximum have hirtherto not been allowed to count; the Commissioners by ill consider whether it may not be better to require in some at least 'of the subjects a proportion large,: than a tenth. They have to state, with regard 'to the further examination at which the selected can didates have to present themselves after their year of study, that for 16 of those who attended last year they were unable to grant certificates ; and they add, while admitting the importance of general study before examination, that they think it most impor tant that, when a place on the selected list has been obtained, the year which follows should be entirely devoted to preparation for official duty. EXECU2 lON AT READING. Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, the sentence of death passed by Mr. Baron Channell at the late assizes for the county of Berks upon the man John Gould, for the brutal murder of his daughter at Windsor, on the 30th of December last, was carried into effect at the County House of Correction at Reading. The circumstances connected with the commission of the crime were published in this paper at the time of the trial, and they must be fresh in the re collection of our readers. . A memorial, praying for• the reprieve of the crimi nal was prepared by several persons at Reading, and having received the signatures of 300 or 400 of the inhabitants of that town during last, week, was forwarded to the Home Secretary, Sir George Grey. Another memorial for a commutation of Gould's sentence was also drawn up and signed by the Mayor and magistrates Of Reading and others. No memorial was forwarded from Windser on the pri soner's behalf. _ _ Late on Thursday night the Mayor of Reading (Mr. Hewitt), with several other gentlemen, tra velled to town for the purpose of obtaining an inter view with the Home Secretary, at the House of Commons ; but it proved unsuccessful. The culprit acknowledged his guilt from the first, . and expressed great contrition for the dreadful act. He awaited his trial with coolness, and appeared prepared for the worst. He listened to , the sen tence of death apparently unmoved ; but on his removal to the prison he seemed to feel the awful situation he was placed in, and shed tears. The chaplain of the prison (the Rev. Mr. Colville) was very attentive to the wretched man, who passed the greater portion of his time in perusing religious books provided for him, and in writing a large number of letters to his wife and other relatives and friends, which were couched in the most affec tionate and serious language. In these letters he sought forgiveness for the trouble he had caused, admitted that the sentence was a just one, and quoted numerous passages from Holy Writ relating to mercy on high. He also stated that drink was the cause of the foul deed. His wife visited him on Tuesday last in company with her own daughter, a girl about thirteen years of age, who presented Gould with a Bible on his committal, which he re turned to her on Tuesday with some written advice. The interview lasted for three hours, and it was of a very touching nature. On the preceding day (Monday) the culprit was visited by his sister. The criminal was a native of Eto n, Bucks, and in the course of his dissipated l ife had been several times imprisoned for assau l t s and o ther offences. u T a h l u h r o s u d r aT b netveu twoingo r G t o h u r l d e e r t e i in t i r e s e d d t u o r i r n e g s t t h a t e night he he awoke and offered prayer.

The unfortunate man took took k d l eav e quietly of in his hand. the Bible which he intended should be returned to his step-daughter, and the mournful procession then passed from the room to the scaffold. The .wretched man. walked with a firm step, and stood quietly under the beam while the cap was drawn and the rope adjusted, uttering words of prayer. Then. turning round to the chaplain ho gave to him the sacred volume, and after saying a few parting words, 1 ' n which he hoped the ' chaplain would be blessed b by the Lord for the ' attention and kindness e had shown him, the bolt was drawn and he was launched into eternity. ' His struggles were momentary. The body hung for ' an hour, but was soon hid from view by a coverinc , to in front of the scaffold, placed there by order of the under sheriff, principally to prevent the as sengera on t he three railways beingwitnesses r to the horrifying spectacle.

INQUEST ON THE JOCKEY KILLED AT THE LIVER POOL STEEPLECHASE.—Yesterday an inquest was held at the Sefton Arms, near Liverpool, before Mr. Driflick!, ono of the county coroners, on the body of Joseph Wynne, a jockey, who was thrown at the Liverpool Steoplechase on Wednesday, and subsequently died.
