MARLBOROUGH - STREET.— STEALING COPPER PLATES.—SamueI Bywater, a young man, was charged with stealing a quantity of copper-plates, the property of Mr. John Mitchell, copper-plate printer, of 24, Wardour street, Sohn. William Stevens, 23 C, said—On Saturday last, having received information that a quantity of copper-plates had been stolen from 24, Wardour-street, I made inquiries at the different marine store shops in the neighbourhood, and found that a quantity had been sold at a shop in Grafton , street. On taking some of them to the prosecutor, he at once identified them. Joseph Park, rag merchant, of 5, Grafton-street, said— On Saturday I bought the plates produced of the prisoner, having asked him whether they were his own property, to which be replied that they were. I weighed them and found that they weighed 171b5., and gave him lls. for them. Mr. John Mitchell, the prosecutor, said—l have no re collection of the prisoner whatever. My premises are un dergoing repair, and I have noticed a man like the prisoner about washing ceilings, but have not particularly noticed him. I saw the plates safe on Thursday last. Not seeitig the plates in the place they should have been in, I spoke to one of my young men, and on their being sought for they were missed. They were chiefly old plates, and therefore only of value as old copper. Had they been plates in use they would have been of £2OO value. A constable said he believed the prisoner had already been convicted. Remanded for a week. THAMES.—CLOSING OF COUNTY COURTS.—Mr. C. Young, solicitor, waited upon Mr. Selfe, to make an expla nation, which, he said, was necessary to relieve a most respectable man froma serious imputation. It would, no doubt, be in the recollection of his worship that Mr. Huggins, a marine painter, made an application for a sum mons against Mr. J. Eaytnent, the proprietor of the railway hotel, Grove-road, Mile End, for non-payment of a debt of £6 7s. 6d., the balance of an account for,the painting of two pictures. It was also stated by Mr. Huggins that Mr. Rayment was about t) leave the country, and that he had repeatedly applied to him in the course of the last two mouths for the debt. His worship referred Mr. Huggins to the County Court, and it was stated by him (Mr. Young) that they were closed until the end of September, and that Mr. Huggins would be without a remedy. He (Mr. Young) was now instructed by Mr. Rayment to state that he had no in tention to leave England, and that he had no wish to avoid a summons. Mr. Rayment had sold his house and business on Friday last, at the Auction Mart, on account of ill health, and intended to spend a week in the country, by the advice of his physician. When the County Courts were opened, Mr. Rayment would be glad to meet Mr. Huggins in one of them, and could make a good defence to the claim set up by Mr. Huggins. The fact was, Mr. Huggins contracted to do two paintings for £l2, whereas he had charged £l7 Ns. for them, and left the work unfinished. Mr. Rayment bad paid Mr; Huggins £ll 12s. Od. on account, which was more than the paintings were worth, and would resist any further claim upon him. Mr. Rayment was now under contract for buildings to the extent of £3,000, and was pos sessed of considerable property in the neighbourhood of the Grove-road, and it was only by the advice of his physician, who said that the business of a licensed victualler was too exciting for him, that he had sold the railway hotel. Mr. Selfe said the parties could discuss the case in a County Court in October, and that he had no doubt, as the bane had gone forth in the newspapers, the antidote would also be published. THE HASTY AND UNHAPPY MARRIAGE.—Mr. Lewis Roby, one of the relieving officers of Whitechapel Union, came before Mr. Selfe with Ellen Spurling, wife of Samuel Spurling, a pensioner, who married her on the 9th inst., and abandoned her on the following day. Mr. Raby said that Spurling had spent the £lO his wife had received on her marriage from the committee of the Indian Mutiny Relief Fund. Mrs. Spurling had since been relieved and main tained in the workhouse. Mr. Selfe said be had some little difficulty in the mat ter. Spurling bad behaved as badly as Le could do towards the unhappy woman,man, and be (Mr. S e lf e ) f e lt very strongly on the subject, but he must not strain the law or do anything . that was illegal because he had a strong feeling on the subject. Spurling had offered to take his wife back yesterday, and she refused to return ho m e w ith him. It could not, therefore, be said that Spurling refused to maintain his wife. Mrs. Spurling said that Spurling was a very s avage an d brutal fellow, that he ill-used her the day a f ter m a rriage, ran away with £lO, and had ruined her prospoets in life. All her husband said yesterday was quite false. Her new husband left her without a farthing, and went away with two prostitutes, for whom he paid 4s. cab hire the day after her unlucky marriage. She beard a bad character of hi m before marriage, and refused to have him ; but two respect able soldiers' wives invited her to tea, and persuaded her against her will to have him. Nothing w ou ld ever induce her to live with Spurling again. He would ill-use and murder her if she returned to him. Mr. Selfe was very sorry that Mrs. Spurling had taken such a fellow on trust, and ha also regretted that the poor woman, the widow cf a valiant soldier, who had fought and bled for his country, was reduced to a workhouse. He did not feel justified in granting the warrant, but, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, he would recommend that Mrs. Spurling should be still further relieved in the workhouse, where she must conform to the rules and regula tions. FRIGHTFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—Last evening (Monday) a dreadful collision took place near the Round Oak station, on the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp ton Railway, between two excursion trains from Worcester. At the time this despatch left nine persons were dead and a large number were wounded in a frightful manner. Dudley station, where the excursionists chiefly reside, was a scene of great excitement. TuE WHALE FISHERY.—The following telegram has been received from Aberdeen, dated Aug. 23:—" The Lady Franklin and Sophia have arrived here from the Arctic Winter Whale Fishery with 28 whales and 16 tons of bone •, both ships full. The Traveller, of Peterhead, was lost by the breaking up of the ice iu the spring; crew saved." THE CHURCH-RATE QUESTION.—The parish church at Waddingliant, near Brigg, North Lincolnshire, having got very much out of repair, a meeting of the parishioners was called for the purpose of levying a rate to defray the ex penses of restoring the building. The proposition was stoutly opposed, and when put to the vote was rejected by a majo rity of •20 to 2. On Thursday last a meeting of the parishioners of Marsden, Yorkshire, was held for a similar object. An estimate for the repairs of the church, amount ing to LOG was brought forward by the churchwardens, and a resolution was moved and seconded that a rate of3d. in the pound be granted. This was met by a direct negative on the part of a churchman , (Mr. J. 13. Robinson), and on the motion being put it was lost by a majority of 100 to 16. This is the first time a rate has been refused at Marsden. NAVVY LIFE.—The astounding sum of £6O was the other day consumed in drink at a public-house in the vicinity cf a line of railway now constructing in this county. No one will wonder when we add that at night more than 20 navvies were carried out by two or three policemen- who were in attendance, and laid in a common stable, dead drunk. Of course this is only a climax in a course of habitual and chronic drunkennes s w hi c h n i g htl y presents scenes sufficiently horrible.—Aberdeen Free Press. BIGHT HUNDRED SHEEP POISONED.—MT. Bird, farmer, at Burton, near Bamburgh, Northumberland, has just sustained a heavy less in a singular manner. He bad a flock of 867 sheep, width were recently " dipped" in a chemical solution used for destroying ticks, lice, &c., and then turned out to grass, It is supposed that this solution was washed off the sheep by a shower of rain and fell upon the grass, which being eaten by the sheep poisoned them, as they began to die on the 16th inst., and on the 21st inst., only 26 out of the flock of 867 remained alive. FUNERAL OF THE LATE MR. GEORGE COMBE.— Yesterday (Friday) the mortal remains of the late Mr. George Combe were interred in the Dean Cemetery, having been brought from Moor Park, Surrey, for that purpose on Tuesday last. The funeral was a strictly private on e , an d the company, numbering about thirty, was confined to the relatives and a few inti mate friends of the deceased. After religious services, conducted by the Rev. P r in c ip a l B arc l ay , the melancholy procession , consisting of the hear se an d seven mourning carriages, left the house of the deceased in Mel ville-street, and proceeded to the cemetery by the Dean Bridge. The burial-grou n d o f the family, where the late distinguished phrenologist is interred, is close to the north wall of the cemetery, about 200 yards from the east gate way; and we learn that itis in conte m pl a ti on t o ra i se f un d s by private subscription for the purpose of placing upon the spot a monument suitable to the genius and virtues of the deceased—Edinburgh .Rxpress. CITY OF LONDON THEATRE.—A lively little sketch is now playing at the above establishment, entitled a Everybody's Tailor." Th e idea is taken from a neigh bouring emporium, Mr. A. Lyne's, of Shoreditcb, who is familiarly called by the million in that locality, " Every body's Tailor." The piece is :nightly received with great applause.—We are sorry to have to announce a most pain ful robbery that has been discovered at this theatre, which has been going on for a patiod of twelve years between the check-takers and m oney -takers— the system pursued was o ne of the most complete ever adopted. We trust the worthy proprietors will be more fortunate in their selection next season. We understand the theatre closes on the 4th, and re-opens on the 20 th of Septemb er , w h en i t w ill b e en larged and beautified, in fact, a new theatre. THE NEW WATERWORKS AT OLDHAM.-01 1 Sa turday the Mayor of Oldham (Josiah Radcliffe, Esq.) laid the foundation stone of the new waterworks for Oldham, in the presence of a number of the Town Council who had been invited to inspect the works and witness the ceremony. The new waterworks are situated in the Piethorn Valley, about seven miles from Oldham. It is the next valley to that in which the Hollingworth reservoir is constructed, from which it is distant about a mile and a half, as th e crow om flies. The road to it fr Oldhem is through Sha w , E as t Crompton, New Hey, Haugh Hey, to B ottom of Lane (Baptist) Chapel, and thence by a read constructed by the i corporation direct to the works. It s intended to make three reservoirs. The first, at the top of the valley between Norman Hill and Piethorn Farm, will be fed prin cipally by the Piethorn stream, which takes its rise on Bleakedgate Moor. It will act as a filtering lodge for the water before it gets to the middle reservoir, and will be fitted with "sloughs, to turn the water into the m iddl e reserve or down a by-wash. Above this reservoir there will be a small dam to intercept wreck brought d own b y fl oods. The middle will be the principal reservoir, and will recei ve water by the Coldgreave stream, which rises on Foxstone Edge, a little above the Hipnenden r oa d , a b out eight miles from Oldham. At the lower end of the valley an embankment will be thrown across to form the lower end of the reservoir. The embankment, in the centre of which will be a puddled wall, will contain 385,000 square yards, and the area of the reservoir will be upward s o f 30 acres. The water from this reservoir is to b e conveye d i nto the town by a 20-inch pipe, i and n w the louver reservoir (which is a compensation one for the mills down th e va ll ey, who would otherwise have their watersupplyeet off), by a 14-inch pipe; both pipes being placed in a culvert 6 feet in di ame t er and 100 yards long, arched over with three separate courses of stone, running through the embankment and terminating in a valve house; the corner stone of which w as th e s t one laid by the mayor as the foundation stone.-11funchesier Guardian. THE MANCHESTER POST -OFFICE.—The Manchester Past-office site, in John Dalton street, after being decided upon twice, is again unsettled, by the leading merchants having taken up the question. These gentlemen are much dissatisfied at the selection of a place outside business circles for the new Post-office, and at a spec ia l meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, held yesterday, en the subject, it was all but unanimously agreed that the be , t site would be one at present partly occupied by the Qu een ' s T heatre, and bounded on three sides by Spring-gardens, York-street and Fountain-street, and to urge its adoption u p on the Post office authorities. There was a strong expression of opinion that considering the revenue of the Manchester Post-office Government ought to act in a more liberal spirit than they had yet manifested. The vessels belonging to the experi men t a l squa d ron which accompanied the Emperor from Cherbourg to Brest have since left the 'Ater port for Toulon. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM AND LEATHERHEAD. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the offices in Great George-street, ye.iterday—Mr. Grissell pre siding. The report said " The directors regret to have again to meet the shareholders with expressions of dissatis faction at the slew rate at which the works have been car ried on since the last general meeting. A reference to th, engineer's report will show the work done up to the presen. time and the quantity remaining to he executed, and the period when it is anticipated the line will be completed. Arrangements are in progress to ensure the efficient work ing of the line in such manner as that equal facilities shall exist for proceeding either to the east or west of London. Owing to the opposition of the South-Western Railway Company to the hill for amalgamating the Wimbledon and Dorking Railway Company with this company, your directors were induced to withdraw that measure. In the absence of amalgamation, an agreement between the two companies will be necessary to secure the rights of each over land necessary to both, and also to arrange terms for the use by this company of the Wimbledon Company's station at Epsom." The engineer's report said :—" From Leatherhead to Epsom-common the line has been formed, laid, and bal lasted ; and the remaining portion, from Epsom-common to the junction with the Brighton Company's line at Epsom, is in a forward state. This part of the work would also have been completed but for the great difficulty in obtaining labour which has existed since the beginning of the hay harvest. Men will now, however, be more plentiful, and the whole of the works will be completed in six weeks. The stations at Leatherhead and Ashstead are in a forward state, and will also be finished within the same time." The accounts showed that the total receipts had been £27,734 lls. 6d., and the expenditure £23,601 13s. id., leaving a balance in hand of £4,132 18s. sd. The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, and stated that he was aware that great anxiety existed as to the opening of the line. The directors were annoyed at its not being opened earlier; but, being most anxious that the line should be completed within the Parliamentary estimate, some difficulties had occurred in obtaining the land, which they had to settle before the line could be commenced. Their works were in the hands of large contractors, and they were disappointed that they had not proceeded further; but the fact was, the contractors had not gone on as quickly as they ought; but they could not well enforce penalties, as the contractors had a counter-claim against them for rot putting them in possession of the land at the time originally proposed. lle was in hopes, however, that the line would be completed and ready for opening by September. As regarded the working of the line, where small companies were concerned large companies were sometimes rather bounceable, and they had not therefore completed an engagement either with the Brighton or South-Western lines. One company bad refused to have anything to do with them, and the other had offered terms which could not be accepted; but still he hoped that ere long fair and favourable terms would be enterei into, so that the Epsom passengers might have the option of proceeding either from London or Waterloo bridges. Mr. REMINGTON seconded the resolution, and com plained of having been constantly deceived by Mr. Brassey as to the period at which the works might be completed. The report was adopted, and other formal business transacted. WIMBLEDON AND DORKING. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the offices, Great George-street, yesterday—Mr. Grissell In the chair. The report said : The shareholders will find in the engineer's report an account of the present state of the works. Had a due amount of energy been used during the more than usually favourable weather of the past half year, the undertaking would have been much nearer com pletion. The directors are doing their best to get the rate of progress accelerated during the current half-year. In consequence of the unexpected opposition of the South- Western Railway Company to the further progress of the bill for amalgamating the Epsom and Leatherhead Com pany with this company, that measure was withdrawn. The directors regret they were constrained to take this step, as, in their opinion, hadlegislative sanction been given to that bill, it would, by introducing one manag emen t, h ave sim plified the working of both lines, and promoted thereby economy of management and the convenience of the public. The South-Western Railway Company having inserted in a bill which they promoted this year in Parliament a clause altering the scale of voting in th e company, your d i rectors opposed the same in the'House of Commons' committee, and succeeded in obtaining the rejection of the clause, and in other respects the amendment of the bill. At the special meeting which will follow the ordinary meeting, an agree ment with the South-Western Railway Company for work ing the line at 45 per cent. on the gross earnings, and embodying other arrangements between the companies, will be submitted for the approval of the shareholders." The engineers' repert said :—" I regret to say that since my last report the earthworks have progressed so slowly as to disappoint the expectations I had formed of completing the line in the summer of this year. I had hoped that dur ing this summer the contractor would have made up far lost time in the winter, but owing to the want of material and the scarcity of labourers, the summer has passed without much work havi ng b een d one. Little more than one-half . of the earthwork has been removed ; although most of the masonry and the heavy bridge approaches are nearly com pleted. Since there is no ballast on the line, the permanent way is not far advanced, there being only 21 miles of single line laid. Notwithstandin g the strongest remoustranees made by himself and Mr. Crosse against the want of pro gress with these works, no sufficient effort has been made by the contractor, and there is no remedy for this evil that I can suggest, except that of putting on more men in the name of the company, but at the contractor's expense, cr to enforce the penalties for &lay in the execution of the con tract. Since the summer traffic will not be available, per haps the latter remedy will be the best. The line could be finished in three or four months, but if matters proceed as they have done during this summer it will not be brought to a close till the spring of next year." The accounts show the total receipts to have been £51,377 lle., nad the expenditure £49,317 Ss. ld., showing a balance in hand of X 2,060 7s. 11d. The CHAIRMAN in this case, as in that of the previous meeting, complained of the delay which had taken place in the execution of zke works, for which he held the contractors solely responsible. The excuse of not being able to get labour he was not disposed to give credence to. The contractor bad comraunicated to the engineer that he had been over the works, and bad determined so to increase his staff that the works should be completed by November. Mr. Brassey had been engaged in such large works abroad or elsewhere that this line appeared to have escaped his notice and left in the hands of persons who appeared only to consider what they could make out of the line without regard to the time at which it could be completed. At an early meeting of the board the directors would take the promise of Mr. Brassey into consideration, to see what course should be pursued. Is reply to a question from Sir Walter Farquhar, The CHAIRMAN said that, when the line was completed, there would be difficulty with regard to the working of the line under the agreement with the South-Western Com pany. After some conversation, in which it was argued that no arrangements should be entered into between the Brighton and the Epsom and Leatherbead lines which would in any way interfere with the traffic going to the West-end of London, The report was adopted, the retiring directors re-elected, and the meeting made special, when the agreement with the South-Western Company was approved. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. NORTH AND SOUTH-WESTERN JUNCTION. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was held yes terday at the London Tavern ; Mr. Tootal was in the chair. The advertisement by which the meeting had been convened having been read, the report was submitted as follows : " The statement of the revenue account for the past half year shows that there has been an increase of £225 in the total receipts, as compared with the corresponding six months of 1857. On general merchandise and minerals, added together, the receipts are £l4 more during th e same period of ? last year. On passengers the increase is £2Ol, being au improvement of nearly 30 per cent. The directors have the satisfaction of reporting that their exertions to improve and extend the passenger traffic of the line have been thus far successful. They have been enabled to arrange with the South-Western Company to convey forward as far as Richmond and Twickenham the trains passing over this company's railway from Fenaturch-street and the North London districts. This arrangement com menced on the 21st of May last, and the South-Western COM panyhave undertaken to facilitate the means ofcomm unication byaltering th ejunctions at Kew and Barnes, the effect ofwhich will be to make the route continuous and the distance shorter. The above marked improvement in the company's passenger receipts has taken place since the new traffic with the South- Western line commenced. The route is still comparatively unknown to the public, but when it is fully developed, and the alterations referred to have been made, the directors feel persuaded that the receipts arising from this traffic will be very considerably increased. The charge of £lO4 against revenue for locomotive power on the Hammermith branch, has been incurred in the endeavour to make that branch remunerative, by working passenger trains over it. This experiment, which the directors felt it incumbent upon them to make, has satisfied them that, if continued as a passenger line, some other mode of traction must be employed, and they will at once consider what means can be adopted for securing the traffic in the district of the branch with profit to the com pany. The net balance remaining, after deducting the in terest on the debenture debt, amounts to £87317x. 6d., which will pay a dividend of 2s. per share for the half-year on the company's entire share capital ; and the directors recommend that a dividend of that amount be declared accordingly. The balance to he carried forward to the current half-year will be £78." After considerable discussion, during which a desire was expressed that a committee of consultation with the direc tors should be appointed, and to which the board did not object, the report and accounts were adopted. A committee of consultation of three of tlsb a a n re d h a ol v d o e t r e s to confer with the directors was then appointed, of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings. LONDON, TILBURY, AND SOUTHEND EXTEN SION. The report of the directors of thiscc trmpaanflive duringatatesthat, notwithstanding the depression of railway the past six months, the actual decrease in the receipts as com pared with the corresponding half of 18.57 is not more than .£291. During the six weeks following the close of the half year the gross traffic teceipts are upwards of £1,700 more than in the corresponding period last year. The proportions of the receipts from the passenger traffic of this line for the half-year ending 30th of June last, which are payabl e to other companies, atr,ount to £4,184 for the Blackwell railway, to £3,292 to the Eastern Counties Railway, an d £439 to the North London Railway. The branch lire from Bow to Baking was opened on the 31st of March last, and the traffic to and from the Blackwell Railway stations is now worked by this route instead of by the Eastern Counties Railway via Stratford. Under an arrangement entered into by the lessees for the term of their lease, the proportion of the earnings for through traffic passing over this branch line is accounted for to the Eastern Counties Railway Company, as though that traffic continued the ontinuedto pass over the Eastern Counties line, so that pecu niary advantages accruing from the Bow and Barking branch era at present confined to the receipts from local traffic, which it is expected will be considerable when the goods station at the traffic is fully developed , The new Minories recently opened will afford additional facilities for the accommodation of the goods traffic of the railway. The capital account of the Tilbury and Southend line showed that £600,900 had been received, and £592,816 expended, leaving a balance of £8,090. The capital account of the Barking branch shows that £189,987 had been received, and £191,843 expended, leaving a balance against the account of £1,856. The revenue account for the half-year ending Juue 30 showed that £21,789 had been received and £15,500 expended, leaving a balance of £6,239. I 'e I STO ICKPORT, DISLEY, AND WHALEY-BRIDGE. The report of the directors of this company states that the balance in favour of revenue account is £1,92:2. Although the directors might have declared a dividend at the rate of about 2j per cent. per annum, they defer the same until arrangements shall have been completed for liquidating the liabilities on capital account. The past half-year embraces the least favourable period for passenger traffic, and the railway has suffered not only in common with others from the general prostration of.trade, but also from the reduction of rates consequent upon the continued competition of neighbouring lines of railway and canal. The report of Mr. Errington, the engineer, states that the junction line to the Cromford and High Peak Railway is now completed. The capital account shows that £:00,622 had been recei ve d, and 1'231,314 expended, leaving a balance of .E 23,692 against the company. The revenue account for the half year ending 30th of June last showed that £3,02 had been received, and £2,107 expended, leaving a balance of X 1,728. To this is added £1,444 from lr.st account, making £3,17:2, out of which is deducted £1,:l50 for interest on loans, leav ing £1,022 as above. JOINT IiTOOK BARB. Shure. Joint Stock Banks. l'at•i.

The report of the directors states that the traffic receipts for the year ending the 30th of June last amounted to £23,768, against £26,049 at the corresponding period of 1857, showing a decrease of £2,281. The expenditure amounted to £12,235, against £13,010 at the corresponding period of 1837, showing a decrease of £775 OR the expen diture. The report states that the condition .of every class of the rolling stock h as un d ergone improvement during the past half-year, the whole cost of which has been charged against revenue ; and a general economy has been effected in this department. The traffic is now worked with increased facilities over a double line of rails between Maryport and Wigton, and every facility afforded for con ducting the shipment of coal, coke, and lime on a large scale. The directors have concluded arrangements with Messrs. Walker, by which the whole of their coal will shortly be brought on the line at Dearham, instead of, as heretofore, the greater portion being carried to Maryport for shipment. The Messrs. Walker are now making the branch railway to connect the Lonsdale Pit with the com pany's line. Several unsettled claims against the com pany have during the last six months been satisfactorily arranged. Outstanding accounts have been collected, and the bank debt has been reduced by the issue of the 5 per cent. preference stock. The falling off in the receipts is attributed to the general depression trad,, and more especially to the temporary loss of traffic in connection with iron works. The directors recommend a dividend on the original shares of the company at the rate of four per cent. per annum. Mr. Dees, the engineer, reports that great improvements have been made on the railway during the past half-year. Upwards of one mile of light rails have been taken out and relaid with fish-jointed heavy rails, while near l y 3' miles, from Leegate to Wigton, of double line have been laid down. The new works at Maryport station and docks have been completed, and great additional siding accommodation afforded thereby. The auditors, Messrs. Richardson and Cowan, report that £8,968 had been expended during the half-year on capital account, including £1,660 for doubling 31 miles of the rail way. The total expenditure on capital account to the 30th of June last amounted to £525,431 ; the authorised capital being £550,000, there remains a sum of £29,566 not yet expended. EDINBURGH, PERTH, AND DUNDEE. The directors of this company state in their report that the revenue for the half-year ending the 31st of July amounted for passengers, dec., to £35,619 ; for merchandise, minerals, and cattle, to £46,105; rents and miscellaneous, £2,414 ; total, £84,135. The !expenditure amounted to £42,053, leaving £42,085. A comparison of the revenue and expenditure showea that the receipts for the half-year end ing the 31st of July, 1857, amounted to £89,929, ending the 31st of July, 1856, to £85,959, and ending the 31st of July, 1855, to £79,351; the expenditure amounted to £50,377, £41,405, and £43,760 respectively. The net re ceipts were for the half-year ending the 31st of July, 1858, £3 . 2,058; ending the 31st of July, 1857, £39,551; ending the 31st of July, 1856, £44,554; and ending the 31st of July, 1855, £35,582. The falling oft in the receipts is attributed to a continuance of that general depression in the trade and commerce of the country, which the directors had referred to in their last report. OA the other hand, a saving had been effected in the workinr, expenses. The capital account has been charged with sums amounting to £597 incurred during the half-year towards the erection of a station-house and booking-office at the Halbeath station, and in providing new sidings and other accommodatioa works. Of the 5 per cent. debenture stock £80,618 have been issued—part of it at a small premium —and the proceeds applied partly to the extinction of second-class debentures, and partly to the payment of the bank debts, which are now reduced to £64,074. Out of the net revenue of £42,085 the sum of £23,490 is deducted for interest on first-class debentures, £7,358 on second-class debentures and on debenture stock, £1,954 on the G rantor preference stock, and £9,281 on the 4 per cent. preference stock, at the rate of 31 per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of £l. To this is added £2,046 surplus from the previous half-year, making £2,047. The Arrangement Act provides that any deficiency of preference dividend for the first half of the year shall be chargeable against the surplus revenue of the second half. The revenue of the current half-year will, therefore, be chargeable with £1,718, to which extent the 4 per cent preference dividend is short of the full amount. The charge for first-class de benture interest shows an increase of £5,416 as compared with the corresponding half of 1857. The capital account shows that. £3,321,88U had been received, and £3,314,832 expended, leaving a balance of £7,047. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MONDAY MORNING 'VISIT OF HIS EXCELLENCY TO DONEGAL. On Saturday morning his excellency left Londonderry to visit his relative, the Rev. Archdeacon Goold, who resides at Sharon Glebe, in the county of Donegal. His journey is thus described by the correspondent of a Dublin journal : His excellency travelled in a carriage and four. Os the arrival of the viceregal cortege at Newtowneunniag ham, a small hamlet near Sharon, his excellency was met by a number of the gentry and inhabitants. Nearly 100 of the party were mounted, not including those who rode in the numerous vehicles which thronged the route. An ad dress was presented to his excellency by Mr. John G. Bowen, J.P., of Burt House, and the reply-of the Lord Lieutenant, which briefly expressed his appreciation of the enthusiastic welcome he had received, was hailed with loud cheers by the spectators. The country people showed their warm feeling towards his excellency with great spirit and mani festations of rejoicing. In its progress from Newtowncun ningham to Sharon, the viceregal party assumed quite the aspect of a precession-eand a procession, it may be remarked, of rather a picturesque character, from the appearance of the native horsemen, whose turn out was somewhat defi cient in uniformity of costume. At Sharon, a select dinner party bad been invited to meet his excellency." From Sharon his excellency went to view the extensive improvements lately effected by Mr. William M'Cormick, the eminent railway contractor. Arrived at Tready Point, where a commodious pavilion bad been erected, his excel lency was conducted by Mr. M'Cormick over a considerable portion of the ground which he has recently reclaimed. The Lord Lieutenant expressed his admiration of the won derful energy which could accomplish so much as had been performed by Mr. M'Cormick. A considerable body of spectators bad assembled near the Mace. On his return to the pavilion the Lord Lieutenant was loudly cheered. Here were assembled a number of the gentry of Derry and Done gal, and several of the citizens of Londonderry, who had been invited by Mr. M'Cormick to meet his excellency at luncheon. The repast was laid out in the most tasteful style, and nothing that taste could suggest was omitted from the tables, which were loaded wi!il viands of the choicest description. The worthy host had the Lord Lieu tenant on his right, and the Lord Bishop of Derry and Raphoe on the other side. Among the company were rather more than a sprinkling of ladies. Mr. M'ConaticK having called on the company to fill their glasses, said—May it please your excellency —my lords, ladies, and gentlemen, I have, with his excellency's per mission, to propose a toast which lam sure you will all receive with the utmost enthusiasm. It is the health of m honoured guest the Lord-Lieutenant of I re l an d. (A pp l aus e I am not going to make a speech on this interesting ccca sion, for nothing I could say would add to your respect for so noble a character; nor could I find language to express the sense I entertain of the honour conferred on me by the representative of our most gracious Majesty condescending to come here to Derry and inspect the labours of so humble an individual as myself. I, therefore, simply ask you to aid me in giving his excellency a hsarty welcome—(cheers) — by drinking to the health, long life, and happiness of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. (Prolonged applause.) The toast was drunk with enthusiasm. His EXCELLENCY rose to respond, which he did very briefly. He said—l can hardly express my great satisfac tion at being so happy as to have another opportunity of thanking you for the kind reception I have received. This is the last opportunity I shall have, for I must now go away possibly for ever. (Cries of " No, no." At all events I shall scarcely ever have an opportunity of visiting this place again, but I trust I may at some future period have the happiness of meeting you as friends. (Cheers.) lam sure every one of you must have joined with me in admiring the energy of the man who carried out such an enormous work for the benefit of this neighbourhood and of this country. (Hear, hear.) It is indeed one of the most gigantic under takings I ever witnessed—(loud cheers)—commenced and carried out by Mr. M'Cormick with a spirit worthy of his character and position. (Cheers.) It is net only by any effort on your part—by any good conduct on the part of the landlords (and I believe that no landlords have been better than the Irish landlords in latter days), but by the efforts of men of enterprise and character, like Mr. M'Cormick, that the country will rise to that prosperity to which her natural advantages entitle her, and which the genius and industry of her people, when well enable her to achi eve . (Hear, and _ directed, will cheers.) That genius and industry, when directed by the energy of such a man as Mr. M'Cormielt, are invincible. (Renewed cheers.) Even bad he not done me the favour of proposing my health, I should have trespassed on you by asking you to join with me in drinking the health of Mr. M'Cormick, and I beg t o coup l e with it our wish for that success of his gigantic enterprise which he so well eeserves. Loud cheers.) Mr. M'Consucx said—lf I found a difficulty in ad dressing your excellency on the first occasion, that difficulty I feel still more now, in endeavouring to acknowledge the flattering manner in which you have alluded to my labours here. I have simply endeavoured to do my duty to toy country by attersptingto increase her sphere of usefulness, and to extend her means of providing for the comfort and liapniness of my fellow countrymen, and I can assure your excellency that the recollection of this day will cheer me to the last hour of my life. (Loud cheers.) His excellency here retired, and the company broke up. The ca-riap,e of the Vigil Sheriff containing his excellency and suite, forowed by the carriages of ihe Lord Bishop and of Mr. al‘Corrnick, reached the Coleraine Railway Station at Derry, at haif-past two o'clock. The Lord Lieutenant was here met by the mayor and town clerk, and the other members of the corporation, as well as by the port and har bour commissioners. The viceregal party having taken their places, his Excellency shook the mayor warmly by the hand, and assured him that be had never felt anything more deeply than the enthusiastic reception he had met with in the city of Derry and its neighbourhood. The special train then started, amid the cheers of the spectators and the firing of canon, and thus ended his excellency's visit to Londonderry. His excellency was to have spent yesterday at Garcon Tower, the seat of the Marchioness of Londonderry, and, according to the programme Belfast early to day. SIIIPWRECK The following despatch, , gives the fullest particulars ship Cairo, of New York, harbour yesterday (Saturda Savannah, for orders, with.; rican barque Mayflower, an, vessel, on board, whom she flower sailed from New Or. with a cargo of staves for 11 hands, a stewardess, t. pun's wits and three cabin and six steerage passengers. Oa the 3d August she was capsized in a gale of wind in lat. 41 N., long. 44 W.; and the captain, his wife, four of the crew, and two cabin passengers, MM. Vernear and Dusseau, both Frenchmen, managed to get on to the vessel's bottom, where they clung for some time; but the sea ran so high that the captain's wife and the two French gentlemen, MM. Vernear; and Dusseau, were washed off amilost. The re mainder held on for about half an hour, when the foremast, mainmast, and mizen topmast broke away, and the vessel righted, but was full of water. Two passengers, M. Victor Palanque, M. Dechan, two boys named Bernard, Mrs. Ber ney, the stewardess, her son, and six of the crew, were found drowned in her when she righted. The others still succeeded in holding on, but with little prospect of eventually saving their lives, as the gale continued to blow with unabated vio lence, and there was no chance of assistance. On the fol lowing day, however, the Cairo fell in with them, after th e y had spent a terrible night, clinging to the wreck, and ex posed to all the fury of the gale, and brought them into Cork harbour. Captain Platt, on the arrival of the ship in po r t, wrote a l et t er expressive of his deep gratitude for the kind ness he and the remnant of his crew had met with at the hands of Captain Wooster, of the Cairo. The latter vessel agents, Messrs g . H JE t AentTeDLs interesting a calculations. rn t. , C n o G . left again on Saturday for Amsterdam, leaving Captain Platt and Lis men to the care of the American Consular The followliTi ICA a P re ll iaken from the Ulsterman, a Belfast paper :—" A curious mistake occurred a few days ago in connection with the telegraphic cable, which has been so successfully laid between Ireland and the American continent. One of the first messages transmitted by the sub-oceanic cable from the Irish terminus to New foundland was to this effect: It is twelve noon in Dublin; what o'clock is it with you?' Th e reply to this, as the magnetic telegraph informed the p u bli c, was eight o'clock in the evening.' There is some confusion with regard to this matter. The question of east and west longitude, and the difference of time between Ireland and America is now, therefore of some importance. Time and space are practi cally annihilated between the New World and the western portions of the Old. An intelligent friend has favoured us with the following calculation, in the reading of which it must be borne in mind that Belfast time—the longitude being to the eastward—is always in advance of the dials in the transatlantic towns. The following is the calculation referred to : St. John's 52 degs. 36 mins. west long. Belfast 5 degs. 55 mins. ~ Difference of long.
