The Liverpool cotton market to-day was again dearer, with transactions.to the extent of 6,000 bales. The steamer ATalta passed Jubal yesterday with the Mail broth Bombay of July 27. The mail steamer Atrato has arrived from the West Indies with £97,590 in silver and £47,000 in gold. The present mail from Guayaquil has brought a remittance of £332 on account of the Ecuador divi- dends. The half-yemly meeting of proprietors of the Bank of Australasia is called for the 18th inst. The report of the Southampton Dock Company to be presented at the meeting on the 27th inst., states the available balance, including £2,144 from last half year, to be £9,749, out of which a dividend is recommended at the rate of 4 per cent. for the six months, absorbing £7,207, and leaving £2,542 to be carried forward. A prospectus has been issued of the Cambrian Consolidated Gold Mines Company, with a capital of £150,000, in shares of £2 each. During the past wo years certain mines called the Vigra and Clogau, near Dolgelly, in Merionethshire, and Which are in the hands of a few persons, have been reported to yield a very large proportion of gold from quartz crushing, and much curiosity has pre vailed regarding them. It is now stated that in the 1.9 months from January, 1861, to the present time 7,041 ounces of gold have been obtained from 942 tons of quartz crushed, or at the rate of 73- ounces per ton,—a profit which has amounted to 'more than double the original outlay upon the undertaking, and which is steadily increasing. :Some of the principal persons interested in these woceedings have, it appears, since arranged for leaves of about 1,500 acres surrounding their own district, and which, according to statements fur nished, are characterized by the same features, and :it is for the working of these that the new company is proposed. The consideration is to be £50,000, of which £25,000 will be in cash, and .£25,000 in shares with £1 paid, on which the recipients will be liable to the remaining £l, in common with the other shareholders. With regard to the state ments of the profits of the two original mines (the 'Vigra and Clogau), there is no ground for doubt, tbe figures being positive end the parties connected With them respectable. The proposal to test the surrounding region, therefore, in the face of the reports furnished by the mining captains employed to er amine them, and also of the fact that in Brazil a yield of half an ounce per ton is considered satisfactory, seems a fair experiment for those per sons who have money to spare, and who have no objection to risks of this nature. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY . TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is a steady' demand for discount accommo dation at the Bank sate, which remains at 2 per `cent., the directors at their meeting to-day having found it necessary to modify their regulations. The supplies of money in the hands of the dealers are considerable, while the requirements of the public, although larger than of late, are yet far from ex tensive, but the probability of an adverse affect being produced, by remittances on account of foreign oans and other contingencies, induce the banks and discount houses to enforce full terms for the business they negotiate. An instalment of 15 per cent. becomes due to m, orrow on the Egyptian Loan of £1,811,040. On the tat proximo a payment. of 10 per cent. wil.l be made to the proprietors of the Liverpool and Lone ion Fire and Life Insurance Company on ac ecunt of the year's dividend due March, 1863, The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this d,ay, are in round figures as under : 1862. 1861.

Buchanan, for the plaintiff, having stated the case, added that the defendant's driver, after inflicting the in juries complained of, instead of pulling up, drove rapidly away, and when the cabman caught him and held the horse's head, the carman actually flogged both the horses and the cabman most severely, and for this assault was summoned, but thought it expedient to settle before going into Court. Plaintiff stated that on the 17th July, he was driving through Fetter-lane towards Fleet .street, and he saw de fendant's man driving a two horse van coming the reverse way. Defendant's man pulled out to pass a waggon, and in doing so struck the cab, breaking it asunder, to the dis comfiture of a fare who was inside. The carman would not stop until a policeman came up, and then he did not deny the damage, but said it was an old cab and not worth any thing. The fare was called, and stated that defendant's driver alone was in fault. Defendant's driver gave a general denial to the evidence brought against him. Mr. Buchanan—Now, did you not whip your horses as you passed the cab ? Witness—Yes, I did. His Honour—Well, after that, Mr. Buchanan, I must find for the plaintiff. Mr. Buchanan—After the treatment my client's driver received from the carman, I am instructed to apply for full costs, His Honour allowed the attorney and three witnesses. POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BURGLARY. CAUTION TO TRADESMEN. John M'Mahon, a tailor, of 5, South-row, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling of Mr. John Watts, oilman, 31, Greek-street, Soho, and stealing a silver watch, a quantity of candles, soap, and other articles. Wood, 151 C, said about four o'clock that (Thursday) morning while in Greek-street, he saw the fanlight over the shop door of Mr. Watts', oilman, open, and knowing that it had been closed before he suspected that some one had got into the shop by that means. He, immediately finding the shop door fast, knocked at the private door, and, while doing so, the prisoner rushed out of the shop doer into the street. He seized him, and asked what he was doing in the shop, and he said "Nothing." He then took him into custody. Sergeant Henry Atwell Allen, 20 C, said he found that the prisoner had entered the shop by forcing off the fan light from the hinges. The shop was in a state of great disorder, and near the door were two large bags full o various articles packed up ready for removal. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was there not a light cart close by f Sergeant Allen—Not in this case The prisoner did not deny doing it. Mr. John Watts, oilman, of 31, Green-street, said he closed up his shop at 11 o'clock, and the place was then quite safe. He left the fanlight as he had done for the past six months, open a few inches, but not enough for a person to get through. He found the place in the greatest dis order, when called down by the police, and the prisoner had stuck a lighted candle in a cask of oil, and might thus have caused the place to have been burnt down. He also found that he had been feasting on some bread and jam— having consumed half a pot. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was committed for trial. One ortwo cases of thieves entering shops by means of fan lights being left insecurely fastened have lately come to the knowledge of the police. SOUTHWARK. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Betsy Sullivan, an orange girl, was charged with stealing a gold watch and chain from the person of M. Francis Lemasle, a French gentleman, who is at present staying at the Half Moon Hotel, High-street, Borough. From the evidence of the complainant, who was examined through an interpreter, it appeared that about one o'clock on the previous night he got out of a cab at the door of the Half Moon Hotel, when he was accos ed by the defendant and another female, who asked him for charity. He put his hand into his trousers pocket for the purpose of giving her some money, when she snatched his watch from his pocket and with the other girl ran away. The complainant gave the defendant into custody, but her companion escaped. Police-constable 196 M asked for a remand, as he believed that he would be able to discover the woman who had run away. The defendant denied the charge, and was remanded until Saturday, on which day the complainant purposes to return to France. MARKETS-THIS DAY. 3IARK LANE. nit ERIAL WEEKLY AVERAGES.

The doors of the furnaces are some 12ft. on the right of the engineer when on the starting platform, from which he can readily control all the operations connected with his duty.

The average speed attained was rather over 91 knots, half boiler power revolutions, 68 ; indicated horse-power, 251; speed seven knots. These results were highly satisfactory to the inspecting officers, who expressed their ap probation of the abundant supply of steam from the boilers, and said they considered the construction of the expansion valves (on a new and economical plan) to be simple and well adapted for use in ships of the Royal Navy. The Mersey, 40, screw frigate, Capt. H. Caldwell, C. 8., having been inspected by Capt. Broadhead, commanding steam reserve at Portsmouth, was paid off yesterday morning, under the superintendence of that officer at Portsmouth. This vessel, a few years ago the finest frigate in her Majesty's navy afloat, has been in commission upwards of three years, during which time she has been to the vari ous ports of the kingdom as part of the Channel squadron, and all round the West Indies and North American station on special service. Her last cruise was on the coast of Mexico, being at anchor before Vera Cruz for four months, from January to April. It was here that Capt. Caldwell, C. 8., and Mr. Fa well, boatswain, with about 200 men under their orders, performed the daring feat of recovering her H.M.S. Plover, a complete wreck at Alvarado, in five feet of water, with a heavy surf breaking all u y t e h v e e r A , 1 0 n e w r h s i e te y hr round her.

Caldwell has had the honour of receiving at various times his Majesty the late King of Portugal, his Royal Highness the Duke of Oporto (the present King), the royal princes of France, his Imperial Highness the Duke of Saxony, besides many English noble men, &c. Though paying off such a noble vessel must greatly tear and wear every part, still it is wonderful to notice the traces of that exquisie- e cleanliness and discipline for which she has become deservedly celebrated. The main deck can still show to a professional eye remains of the b eaut i ful accuracy with which every part Qt the equipment was arrayed ; and the upper deck, with its polished maple warnings, brass stanchions, and mahogany gratings, seems still to grapple against those destroy ing angels, the dockyard hammers. While in other ships such a pleasing state of efficiency has been found quite impossible, and in some has provoked mutiny, in the Mersey it has been produced by unre mitting attention on the part of all the officers. After her inspection a few days ago Capt. Caldwell was highly complimented by the Lords of the Admiralty on her efficient state. On paying off, long service medals and gratuities were awarded to Thos. Felt ham, John Yoller, and Hy. Baily, quartermasters, and Geo. Wyatt, boatswain's mate. The officers all wished Capt. Caldwell a hearty farewell, and the crew cheered him on leaving the ship. The gun room officers (privately) presented to the Rev. Mr. Cawston, the chaplain, a handsome pocket com munion service, and they also offered to Mr. Keogh, assistant-paymaster and treasurer of the mess fund, a beautiful piece of plate, which, however, that gentleman politely declined as .being against the regulations. The detachment of Marines belonging to the Chatham division proceeded, by rail under the charge of Capt. Meheux ; those of the Ports mouth division to Forton, under the charge of Lieut. Silver; and the Royal Marine Artillery to Fort Cumberland. The Mersey will be placed in the third-class steam reserve at Portsmouth. The Enchantress, new paddlewheel steamer, ar rived yesterday afternoon at Portsmouth, in tow of the Lucifer, under the charge of Commander Stokes. She is sister ship to the Psyche, and is reported to be a very handy vessel. She answered her helm well during the short time she was under canvass on her voyage round from Milford. At present she is intended for a despatch boat. The paddlewheel steam yacht Osborne, Master G. K. Bower, from Portland, arrived yesterday morn ing at Plymouth, with his Grace the Duke of Somer set, First Lord of the Admiralty, Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir F. W. Grey, K.C.8., Rear-Admiral E.

Robinson, Controller of the Navy; Colonel S. T. Greene, Director of Admiralty Works; Capt. Moore, C. 8., private secretary to the First Lord ; and Mr. Charles Richards, Controller of Victual ling. The yacht went up Hamoaze, where Port- Admiral Sir Houston Stewart and Admiral Super intendent Sir Thomas Pasley paid their respects to their lordships, who shortly after lanced, and com menced their duties by inspecting the new jetty lately constructed with iron piles at the Devonport dockyard, and then went to other parts Of the Ar senal. q Douglas, which left Halifax July 23, The paddlewheel steam-vessel Hydra, 6 an brings in Plymouth Sound on Tuesday aftern oon, Mr. The Hamburg News states that a dinner lately passengers—Capt.

The adjourned general half-yearly meeting of the pro prietors of this company was held to-day at the offices Waterloo Station. Captain MANGLES, chairman of the board of directors, presided. The report, which has already appeared in The Sun, hav ing been taken as received, The CHAIRMAN said the explanations given at such length in the report rendered it altogether unnecessary that he should detain them for any considerable time. All he proposed to do was to explain certain items in the accounts, and also in the event of its being con sidered necessary to give any explanation that might be required, as to the different subjects dealt with in the report. Before, however, he did so he thcugbt, as the authorised mouthpiece of the directors, he might say it was a matter of pleasure to them, and he thought it would be a satisfaction to the shareholders to know that there had been an increase of receipts this half-year, and comparing that with the amount received during the same period of 1861, there was an increase in favour of the half-year just closed of £3l,ooo—(hear, hear) — and during the six weeks that have elapsed of the present half-year the excess had continued, for on making was an comparisoni n with a the r s a mo of period p t e h r i e o d p o r e f s e l n B t 6l, f there o less than £27000, which was at the rate of £4500 per:week. He was sure the s h are h olders would not expect that that increase of income could be secured without an addition to their charges and expenses. (Hear, hoar.) He could not leave that portion of his duty w i thout expressing the high estimation in which the directors held the exertions of their able and talented traffic manager, Mr. Archibald Scott. Early and late he was to be found at his post, and it was a matter of surprise how th a t gentleman was' en abled to get through such an immensity of work—(h ear , hear)—but while he had to notice th e l a b ours of Mr. ' Scott, he thought the shareholders would also agree that the other officers of the company had all done their duty to admiration, when the increase of their expenditure was so small as compared with their increased income. (Hear, hear.) The chairman then proceeded to give a detailed explanation of the half-yearly accounts to June 30, 1861, which showed that the net revenue for that period, after deducting interest on loans and all other preferential to 143,36 of 8 21151.561 of '£l,oll d io adding to 9 o that p s c u h m arg th es e s a u m rp o l imte uso d f December f g r a o v m e w a h balance m a t v h a e i l d a i b r l e e e t o f o r r s r d e i e v i i mi de m n d e n o d f e L d lt4h4,at 27 a 4 dividend be declared at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum, pay able on the 26th instant. After providing for the dividend, there would be a sum of £252 19s. Bd. The re laying of portions of the permanent way had been continued during the past half year, both on the main and branch lines. The former portion had b een com pl e t e d, an d £lO,OOO . . . _ _ had been charged to revenue on that account. The work of doubling the Southampton and Dorchester line was pro ceeding as rapidly as was possible. Out of the 60 miles to be accomplished 35 miles had been completed, leaving 25 miles still to be done. The large buildings at present in progress at Nine Elms, when completed, would enable about three fourths more work to be turned out from both the locomotive and carriage departments than before the improvements were commenced. The directors, and all persons connected with railways, had great reason, he thought, to complain of the law with respect to that descrip tion of property. With respect to the late unfortunate accident near Wimbledon, after 14 days of the most search ing investigation before a coroner and jury, a verdict of accidental death was returned in the case of the late Dr. Baly, which he thought was tantamount to an acquittal of the company from blame, yet in another investigation with which they were all, no doubt, acquainted, namely, Ford's case, which was tried in the Court of Common Pleas, a penalty had been inflicted on them as heavy as if they had pleaded guilty to an indictment charging them with gross negligence. The company, wishing to avoid law as much as possible, had effected compromises in other cases, which he thought, under all the circumstances, would be considered highly favourable, to the company. (Hear, hear.) The lamented death of Mr. Errington, their con suiting engineer, was a source of profound regret to the directors. With respect to their difference with the Great Western, on the part of the directors he was desired to say most emphatically there was on their part the greatest desire for the re-establishment of amicable relations, relations it must in justice be said, the South Western wore not the first to disturb. The same feeling he also said was desired on their part with respect to the Andover and Redbridge Company. The South Westert board had been the first since the recent contest to express its readiness for peace, and he sincerelyhoped those feelings would be reciprocated by the Great Western Company. He concluded by mov ing the adoption of the report. The motion having been seconded, Mr. HELPS referred to the position of the sister of the late Dr. Baly, and moved that £l,OOO be presented to her by the company. The CHAIR MAN said he did not suppose that the hon. proprietor wished to move that as an amendment to the adoption of the report. It could be put as a substantive motion after the report was agreed to. This course was adopted, and the report was agreed to unanimously. The meeting was proceeding when we went to press.

Considerable alarm was occasioned this (Thursday) morning in the neighbourhood of Highgate and Hampstead, owing to a fire breaking out upon the estate of Mr. John Halday, a farmer, situate in Hampstead• lane, Highgate-road. The fire was discovered about 6 a.m. raging in a rick of hay containing about 80 loads, and standing about five yards away from another stack almost as large, so that at one period strong fears were entertained for the safety of the whole homestead. Two engines having arrived, and 'a good supply of water having been obtained, the firemen went to work in an admirable manner, and happily succeeded in cutting off the flames in the direction of the other property. Unfortunately Mr. Halday was uninsured, but, singular to say, the stack which has escaped was fully insured. The " twelfth " of 1862 has been as remarkable as its predecessor, but in a very different way. Last year the 12th of August was inaugurated with a perfect deluge of rain, which poured in torrents during the whole day, so that even with the ordinary elasticity of sportsmen's spirits on the first day of. their holiday season it could barely be tolerated, and numbers had to succumb. This year a pro found stillness—a deep impressive quietness--per vaded all nature. Tuesday morning dawned amidst fog and haze, which enveloped the hill sides and valleys in a universal gloom. Not a breath of wind, but a damp moist atmosphere gave every thing a cheerless aspect. Every blade of grass was bending beneath a heavy dew drop, and later a Scotch mist, which is so distasteful to Englishrn.en, wel comed them to their heather heights iu the High. lands. Nevertheless shooting parties were out early. Never was there a new year's morning so eagerly hailed, after the clock bad struck 12, than is the 12th of August among sportsmen. Many never touched a couch on Monday night. The enemy was em ployed in making the usual extensive preparations for the campaign of the following day. Guns and ammunition were carefully prepared and laid ready to take up. The dogs themselves seem to have scent of the coming day, and, amidst the bustle which pervades the shooting lodge, manifest their impa tience with a growl. Occasionally, as the night ad vances, there is an examination of the barometer. Twelve strikes, and between that and two many an eager sportsman is scouring the heather. Owing to the dulness it was late yesterday before it dawned, and it was four o'clock before a shot could be fired. The atmosphere was light, and towards six o'clock the temperature rose a little, and the rays of sun shine were eagerly looked for to brighten the dark heather mountains and deep sounding glens, at pre sent bearing their most beautiful appearance ; but this did not occur till near midday. The fog was very dense in some districts, so that scarcely a shot could,be fired forseveral hours. As the day advanced however, it got clear; but there was throughout a thickness and density in the atmosphere which spoiled many a good shot. We are not yet able to give any detailed account of the success of the open ing day. We have, however, gleaned a few parti culars as to the kind of sport anticipated, and e of the coveys as they app eare d yesterdayondsays. Sincef the moors, and on some ofthe has previous been wet and ra i ny, Monday week the weather though still there was a high thermometer, which, of course, has been more favourable for the moors. The want of sunshine has, however, this year been injurious to the growth of the birds, and we have had extremely little of it ever since the mont h of May. AlThen the hatching season commenced there Was an unusually numerous healthy and promising stock of old birds. The tapeworm had committed ravages on some districts and reduced the number of old birds, but this was not general. Indeed, it has been observed that in those districts where the disease prevailed, the birds were in the habit of feeding on the cornfields last autumn both before and after harvest, and it is conjectured that corn is the cause of the malady, being an unnatural food for them. We found, however, this morning the birds very lively and very wild ; indeed, so wild that it was with difficulty we could get within 100 yards of them. It is seldom the broods are so wild at the commencement of the season. O ne party of four bagged 20 brace before 9 o'clock, after five hours' shooting. We have received a message from another shooting party of two, who made 14 brace by seven o'clock. A party of eve, on one of the best moors in the county, bagged 45 brace before eight o'clock. These may be taken as samples of the shooting to be got, which is under the average considerably. Heavier bags were got last year in the same places in much less time. A keeper informs u s wet on traversing the Athole moor on S a t ur d ay, he r aised ne arly 80 coveys in thre e h ours ; but they were smaller than usual, and not i n so goo d condition.
