IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING. THE POPE'S OWN IRISH. The papers continue to chronicle the return home wards of the Irish pilgrims from the Eternal City. According to present appearances, the share of the Brigade in the glories to be won under General Lamoriciere promises to be on the homoeopathic scale, for by this time the phalanx of 1,500 must be reduced to a mere skeleton depot, if all the concur rent accounts are to be credited of the numbers who have deserted the Papal standard before striking a blow to sustain the Chair of St. Peter. The cor respondent of Saunders, writing from Limerick yesterday, thus • reports the arrival there of a fresh batch of repentant prodigals : " Letters previously received prepared the rela tives of a number of the foolish young men belong ing to this city who were afflicted by the Romish mania a few weeks since, and in consequence rashly took their flight hence to join the Pontifical army, for their return to the homes of their parents, and last evening a batch of about 22 arrived here by train, in a worn and used up' condition, depressed in spirits, and all repenting the misguided course they had pursued. Those with whom they con versed they have given a deplorable picture of the privations and sufferings they endured throughout, alleging that but for the exertions of the Rev. Dr. .7.ol‘Loughlin, late of the Franciscan Order in this city, but who has now chief charge of the Irish Volunteers in the Eternal City, the case would have been even worse with them than it was. To him they are indebted for having been sent back, and in all particulars the accounts they give of matters generally tally with the statements of the returned Volunteer, O'Brien, which have been published in his letters, and are therefore unnecessary to be re peated. It is, however, essential to mention that many of them were induced to go to Rome under promise of being appointed to high positions in the Pope's army, instead of obtaining which they were subjected to join the lowest ranks. One respectable young man was assured he would at once be made a colonel, but this he soon found out was an illusion. Three of the county constabulary who resigned the force are among those who arrived last night, and their intention is to join the British army, as numbers of the men who previously re turned have done in different parts of Ireland, and who will no doubt, having learnt a satisfactory lesson from their rash and thoughtless conduct, prove good and loyal soldiers. It appears this is the second batch of disappointed adventurers that has arrived in Limerick within the last fortnight, and are without means of employment." The Cork Constitution of yesterday thus chronicles the arrival there of a fresh batch of the repent ants : " If present appearances are not very deceptive, the Brigade that was to achieve so much glory on Italian soil will soon be little but a name. For the last few weeks numbers of those who went from this country to Rome have been hastening back and giving such accounts of the treatment they re ceived as satisfactorily explain the subsidence of their zeal for the service of the Holy Father. Some who went from this city, it has been already men tioned, have returned, but more have since come to corroborate the statements of the horrors endured by the recruits. Yesterday no fewer than 36 arrived here. Worn, pallid, and miserable, their appearance left no necessity for tongue to tell of the hardships they went through since a few short months ago they embarked at our quays in the cer tainty of finding glory and good pay on the banks of the Tiber. Their description of what they en dured is just the same as that which has already been given by those who preceded them. The hardest of marches, the vilest of lodging, and the worst of food, and even of that same only just as much as kept them from actual starvation, left them little mind for bearing arms under Lamoriciere, and, before it was too late, they left the Pontine Marshes and their autumnal fevers behind them. Many of the 36 belong to this city, but the greater number are from Kerry and the adjoining counties." RAILWAY INTELLIGEIVCE. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN. The report of the directors, to be submitted to the proprietors at the half-yearly general meeting, to be held on the 17th inst., atates that " the re venue account exhibits the following results of the half-year :—Receipts from passengers, parcels, mails, &c., £946,426, being an increase over the corresponding half of 1859 of £55,048 ; ditto from merchandise, &c., £1,065,816 ; increase, £124,397 ; total, £2,012,342 ; increase, £179,445. Working expenses, .£869,619 ; increase, £80,363. During the past six months the increase in the number of pas sengers and tons ofgoods carried, and of train miles run, as compared with the corresponding period of 1859, has been—Passengers, 264,355 ; goods and minerals, 575,394 tons. Mileage of passenger trains, 203,626 miles ; mileage of goods trains, 359,067 miles. The increased receipts have not arisen from a return to more remunerative rates, little change having taken place in that respect, the traffic generally, both merchandise and passenger, continuing subject to active competition, and there fore worked at a high rate of expense. The rapid' development of the business renders necessary the ' enlargement very generally of stations, sidings, and other conveniences, requisite for its conduct and for the safe working of the line. This description of outlay amounts, over so extensive a system, to a large sum in the aggregate, and the practice of this company to debit such charges against revenue, in stead of against capital, has had the effect of in. creasing the working expenses, and thereby of reducing very considerably the apparent pro fits of the past and previous half-years. Acts have been passed by Parliament authorising the lease of the St. Helens line between - Warrington and Garston, and for the transfer of the Warring ton and Stockport line to this company ; author ising contracts for the use of Normanton Station, and of the line between that station and Goose-hill —the point to which the powers obtained last year extended; authorising the construction of a branch from the Stockport, Disley, and Whaley-bridge Railway to Hayfield. For the construction of a railway from Bedford to Cambridge; for the con struction of a railway from Nuneaton to near Lei cester, and confirming agreements between the Lon don and North Western and Midland Companies, for the mutual use of the lines and stations between Leicester and Coventry inclusive. By agreement with the promoters of the bill for amalgamating the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton ; Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford, and Worcester and Hereford Companies, under the title of the West Midland Railway Company,' clauses have been in serted in that act providing for theexchange and for warding on satisfactory terms of traffic between the principal stations on the respective lines of railway. The directors regret to report the failure of the re newed application to Parliament for authorising arrangements between the London and North Western, the Great Northern, and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Companies. The bill for the proposed line from Huyton to Moore was also rejected on the opposition of paeties interested in the navigation of the Upper Mersey ; and the bill for an extension of the Garston and Edge Hill line, and for a station at Brunswick-dock, Liver pool, passed the Commons, but was withdrawn in consequence of unexpected opposition. The works of the West London Extension Railway, and of the Sutton Coldfield branch, have been contracted for, and are in course of construction. The agreements for working and for a lease of the Birkenhead Railway by this and the Great Western Company jointly, which have already been approved by the proprie tors, will be submitted for confirmation to the , special meeting, as will also the extended traffic agreement with the North Staffordshire Railway' Company, as finally settled by Mr. Bullar. It being desirable that the principle of the renewal of road account, which has been established with the sanc tion of the proprietors in respect of the main line of the London and North Western system should be adopted on the Lancaster and Carlisle and Chester and Holyhead lines, the amount appropriated from revenue will in, future be increased so as to embrace those leased lines, as well as the branches under that head recently constructed. An additional vessel being requisite for the in creasing merchandise traffic between Holyhead and Dublin, the directors propose, in accordance with the course heretofore adopted, to appro priate to that purpose a further sum (estimated at £24,000) from the balance at the credit of the in suranceCh and depreciation funds for the boats of the Cheste r May a_nd Holyhead Company. On the 2d of fire f the, r „ I :' , _uston Hotel was partially destroyed by i building -, the property of this company, was amply covered by their policies of insurance; considerable injuryri had be en d one t o th e f urn it ure , and as the terra .the lease was nearly expired, the directors deemed it expedient i to anticipate that Period, and aer:ordlitnt. y: e. they negotiated for the pur ehaes of furniture, kinds, connect;d with the wine, , and stores . of all 11,u,;ton and Victoria Hotels., for the sum 0f£20,128 4s. 6,1., an ar r Lngernent which the directo rs consider advli aed - t ivou:3. The hotel is being greatl imroved at a farther cost of £ 2,500 . The directors re quest a Tote of the proprietors for the followine. works :—Enlargement of workshop s at Wolverton b and houses for workpeople , £ 20,000 ; carriage shop, land, and new offices at Crewe, .£4,_2__ ___n4 ; covering over yard at Earl estown waggon works, £6,70,:c ; station enJargenseut at Haydon-square, Euston, AS "....11.• , Medbourne, Seaton, Islip, Darlaston, Willenhall, Stockport, Mossley, , Morley, and Atherton, £12,439; additional sidings at Bushbury, Birdswood, Acton, Hartford, Delph, Tattenhall, Huddersfield, and Spring's Branch, £4,150; diversion of two level crossings at Northampton, £ll,OOO ; total, £58,493. The statement of the half-year's accounts show that the net proceeds are £607,279 10s.

' • dividend recommended (5 per cent.) £605,341 Bs. 6d. ; balance to be carried to next account, £12,808 9s. 2d. The directors recommended the payment of a dividend for the past half-year after the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, carrying forward a balance of £12,808 9s. 2d. GREAT WESTERN. The capital account of this company for the half year ending 30th of Slanelast shows that 113,044,777 had been raised on shares, including £4,805,911 on preference shares; and £10,590,518 on debenture and loans, making the total £23,635,296. Of the £4,805,911 raised on preference shares £1,471,000 was at 4 per cent., £2,009,911 at 42 per cent., and £1,325,000 at 5 per cent. The two latter and re- deemable stocks. The expenditure on capital account amounted on lines constructed by the company prior to January 1, 1850, to £10,904,288, including £1,016,591 for rolling stock; and from the latter date to June, 1860, on various lines and stations a further sum of £10,440,872, including £6,702,457 expended on the Oxford, Wolverhampton, and Dudley, £1,688,073 on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth; £649,504 on the new station at Paddington, and £872,162 on locomotive and carriage stock, making alto gether £21,345,161 for lines, stations, and rolling stock. The subscriptions and disbursements for other undertakings amounted to £1,991,810, includ ing £637,220 for the South Wales, £225,000 South Devon, £103,434 Gloucester and Dean Forest, £545,000 Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth , £181,500 Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, £60,000 Cornwall, £132,155 Shrewsbury lines, and £70,000 for the Metropolitan Railway, making the total expenditure on capital account £23,336,971, leaving a balance of £298,325. The principal alterations in the capital account during the half year consisted of the complete issue of £2,009,000 redeemable 41 per cent. preference stock, and the liquidation of a similar amount of loans. The full advantage of this operation would not be felt until next half-year. In the debenture and loan account the sum of £856,425, borrowed at 5 per cent., and £153,025 at 41 per cent., to gether £1,009,450, was paid off during the half year, and a larger amount was re-borrowed at 41- and 4 per cent. making a saving in interest of more than £9,000 a year. The capital account of the Shrewsbury lines showed a total expenditure of £3,439,750. The traffic on those lines for the half-year amounted to £138,003, from which was deducted £4,726, for the proportion of Birkenhead expenses, leaving £133,276. The working expenses amounted to £86,712, including £9,385, being the moiety of the expense of relaying 13 one-third miles of railway, including materials ; also in another item a further sum was included, being a proportion of relaying a joint line of four miles between Wellington and Shrewsbury, leaving a balance of £46,563 towards the interest on loans and dividends on preference and guaranteed shares, amounting in all to £64,833, and leaving a deficiency of £18,270, which was, as usual, charged against the revenue of the Great Western Company. Had it not been for the extra cost of those renewals being charged entirely against revenue, the deficiency would probably not have ex ceeded £8,2Q0 in the present account. But those charges were made against revenue in accordance with the principle laid down by the directors of the Great Western Company since the completion of their lines. Not only were all renewals strictly charged against revenue, but in some cases addi tional working stock was provided out of revenue by spreading the large amounts when necessary over a limited number of half-years until liquidated, with a view to keep down the expenditure of capital as much as possible. The revenue account of the Great Western lines shows that £863,229 had been received during the half-year ending June 30, including £6,750 for Bristol and Birmingham rent, £11,740 for use of plant by other companies, £3,068 for interest on cash balances, £5,181 for rent of Great Western Hotel, cottages, and other property, and £279 for registration fees. The total expenditure amounted to £352,700, or 42.172 per cent., includ ing £17,381 for passenger duty, £14,310 rates and taxes, £2,500 reserved for doubtful debts, and £l,OOO reserved for fire insurance, leaving a balance of £510,529. To this sum was added £25,749 brought from the preceding account, £4,395 on account of the Kennet and Avon Canal, and £11,389 for dividends on shares held in the South Devon and South Wales Railways, making the total £552,162. From this was deducted £20,189 for guaranteed annuities to the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, and Kennet and Avon Canal ; £20,028 for rent charges of Giocester and Dean Forest, Hereford and Glocester, Brentford Dok and Railway, Wycombe Railway, and trustee of the Paddington Estate ; £9,942 for loss on the lease of South Wales Railway ; £245,455 interest on loans; £1,331 interest on Berks and Hants exten sion shares; £l5O on Henley Railway subscriptions; £107,650 interest on Great Western preference stock; and £18,270 deficiency before mentioned in respect of Shrewsbury line-total, 423,016, leaving a disposal balance of £129,046. The proposed divi dend on the ordinary stock (L 8,237,276) at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum for the half-year, would absorb £123,559, and leave a balance of £5,487. The increase in the expenditure on capital ac count during the half-year amounted to £37,023, of which £12,283 was for old liabilities, and £24,740 for new works and additional station accommoda tion. The increase in the receipts on revenue account during the past half-year amounted to .£67,783, as compared with the corresponding half of 1859, while the increase in the working expenses only amounted to £19,100, of which it appeared that about £14,000 was expended in providing some additional stock and improving a large numer of second-class carriages, supplying them with seats and cushions, and otherwise increasing the passen ger accommodation. The dividend at the corres ponding period of last year was at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum, using £29,582 of the balance brought into that account, while the dividend on the present occasion was at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, using £20,261 of the balance brought into this account, showing an increase of 1 percent., or rather more ; and if the dividend for the next half-year should also increase 1 per cent. over the corresponding period, of which there was every probability, the dividend for the year 1860 would amount to 31 per cent. on the ordinary capital. GREAT NORTHERN. The report of the directors of this company states that the tottll amount expended on capital account was £11,532,666, including £44,267 during the half-year, principally for land, at the new junction with the North London Railway, for works at the eastern junction with thebranch of the Metropolitan Railway in Maiden-lane; the extension of the coal drops at King's-cross, and for additional accommo• dation at London, Hitchin, Peterborough, and Gran tham. It was intended to expend about £lB,OOO in the construction of additional carriage and wag gon stock to meet the requirements of the in creased traffic. Nearly £324,000 had been received on the 4 per cent. perpetual debenture stock dur in,g the half-year, making the total amount paid up £1,412,165. The gross receipts for the first six months of 1860 amounted to £659,010, and for the corresponding period of 1859 to £596,939, showing an increase of £62,071. The gross expenditure amounted to £363,064 against £330,243, showing an increase of £32,821. The excess of receipts over expenditure was £295,946, against £266,696,5h0w ing an increase of £29,250. The total net revenue amounted to £301,734, out of which was deducted £185,647 for fixed charges, including mortgage and debenture stock, interest and preference dividends, leaving £109,087 available for dividend on the original and A and B stocks. The disposable balance of £109,087 would suffice to pay dividend at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum on the origi nal stock, and therefore of three per cent. for the half-year on the B, 11 per cent. for the half-year on the A stock, and the directors recommend that a dividend at those rates be accordingly declared, leaving a balance of .£1,161. The locomotive power had cost more by £11,146 than in the first half of 1859, which was mainly accounted for by 252,068 additional train miles having been run. The re pairs and renewals of carriages and waggons had caused an increased outlay on revenue account of £3,258, a portion of which had been expended in improving the second-class carriages. The com pany had to appear in Parliament against two bills promoted by the Midland Company for powers to construct a station contiguous to the King's-cross station, and to use the North London and other metropolitan lines. Clauses were consequently inserted in those bills for the protection of the Great Northern Company. The Dunstable, Luton, and Hertford Railway, which intersects the Great Northern main line near Welwyn, about 20 miles from London, was nearly completed, and would be ready for traffic in the course of a short time. The directors were of opinion that the permanent in terests of the Great Northern Company would be promoted by the incorporation of the line from Dunstable to Hertford with the Great Northern system, and recommended the proprietors to sanc tion an agreement with that company. The prin ciple of the agreement was that the Great Northern Company should pay for the Dun- , TUE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, Atrausr 13, 1860. stable and 11 relwyn section a fixed dividend on - the original c capital, amounting to £70,000 com mencing at 3 percent. for the first year,4 per cent. for the second I and third years. and 41 per cent. per annum subse cuently ; for the Welwyn and Hert ford section 1 / per cent. per annum until April, 1866, upon £55,00(4, and 3 1 ,- per cent. per annum there after, the G - reat Northern Company alto under taking the liability of paying the interest on the mortgage acid preference capital, amounting toge ther to £l5 2,500, the total sum spent upon both lines being about £277,500. Parliamentary sanc tion must b e obtained to this arrangement, and the directors re commend the proprietors to consent to an applicat ion being made for it in the next session. A company had been established for the erection of an hotel at Sheffield, on a site adjoining the station of the Manchester, Sheffield, And Lincolnshire Railway. The capital of the undertaking was £16,000, towards which the directors of the Great Northern have promised to ask permission to sub scribe £2,500. The Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Company subscribe a similar amount, and the Midland proprietors would be asked to con tribute the same sum. The remainder of the capi tal would be found by local shareholders. The neces sity for this accommodation had long been felt ; and it was expected that a remunerative retarn for the outlay would be realised. The capital account showed that £11,852,748 had been received, and £11,532,666 expended, leaving a balance of £320,082. balance of £1,514, out of which a dividend is re commended at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, as at the corresponding period of last year. The falling off in the passenger receipts was caused by the extraordinary inclemency of the past season. The directors regret the expenses which have been forced upon this small line by the proceedings of other companies in Parliament. No outlay has been incurred in Parliament this session. The capital account showed that £99,942 had been expended. The revenue account for the half year ending the 30th of June showed, after deduct ing 50 per cent. for working expenses, that the re ceipts amounted to .£2,270, the other expenses to £317, and the interest on loans to £465, leaving a balance of £1,487. • any effect in thinning the ranks of the Dover Volunteer Artillery Corps, but no doubt the confi dence and patriotism of those whose lives are not only their own fortunes, but the sole reliance for wives and families, will depend very materially upon the course the Government may think proper to adopt in the present case. Tlx E' ROAD ZWURD.ER. APPREHENSION OF THE CONFESSED MURDERER. TROIVBRID GE, SUNDAY. The deep interest attaching to this mysterious affair has been again largely augmented, in conse quence of a man who gives the name of Edmund. John having been apprehended, on his own state ment, that he murdered the little boy, Francis Saville Kent, at Roast-hill House on the night of the 23d of June last. It appears that on Friday morning he went on to the platform of the Wolverton Station of the Lon don and North-Western Railway, and acknow ledged to Sergeant Rowden that he committed the murder, and the sergeant handed him over to the parish constable, Henry Goodson, who is also em ployed by the railway, and by him John was taken before the Rev. J. H. Barton, magistrate, at Stoney Stratford. He stated that he had been out of work, and on applying in the village of Road for employ was engaged to perform a hideous deed, ror which he was to receive a sovereign in pay ment. The child, he said, was handed to him from a window in the house, and though it had at first been intended to bury the body in the garden, he was instructed to put it down the water-closet. He then walked away towards London, passing through Reading and other places, and from Lon don made his way to Leicester, where he could not obtain work. Hence he proceeded to Northampton, where he likewise failed to obtain employment, and he became so dejected that he felt ready to lay his head upon the railway and allow a train to pass over it, but he thought the policeman would lose his place for not finding out the murderer, and therefore desistel. He said he could not live, for the child was before him wherever he went, and he felt also that the eye of God was upon him. On being searched, a mason's rule and trowel, toge , ther with a pant-ticket for another trowel, and a pocket-book were found upon. He stated that he had given his knife to one man, his tobacco-box to another, and his pipe to a third; and :he asked that, after he was executed, his things might be given to his mother. He said he had a wife who was a laun dress in London, and three children, and it would break their hearts if they knew he was connected with the affair. The magistrate ordered him to be taken to Trowbridge, where he arrived yesterday afternoon, in the custody of Henry Goodson, and Sergeant Royal, of the Bucks constabulary. The constable went to the man he said he gave the knife to, and obtained it. It was a common clasp knife, and on the way down it was dropped, where upon John said " That's my knife. Have you been and got it then ?" During the night he inquired particularly if Miss Constance Kent having once been tried by a jury of her country could be brought up again, and was told that she could. He then asked if the bedgown had been found, and on being told it was still missing, said he would con fess something relative to that to a minister, and he should prefer a Wesleyan. At Trowbridge, where the news had arrived before the officers got there, as well as at other places on the way, especially at Swindon, the greatest excitement prevailed, crowds of persons thronging the way to catch a glance of the man. He was taken before W. Stencomb, Esq., and the depositions taken before the Rev. J. H. Barton having been read over he was remanded till to-morrow (Monday), at two o'clock. Two officers were with him throughout last night, and he com plained of a pain in the head, and then made the inquiries respecting the bedgown. He made several contradictory statements, to the effect that he had never been at Trowbridge, Road, or Frome ; that he did not know Mr. Kent, had never seen him, though he had previously described the house, and would never be convicted of the murder, deny ing, indeed, that he had committed it. He is a bricklayer, and about 35 years of age, of round features, red face, and light hair. He was un known in the neighbourhood of Wolverton, and he exhibited to the police some draw ings of what he called a plan for making bricks without laying them by hand. He said he had never received the pound promised him for doing the foul deed, and would not say who pro mised it to him, but he expected still to obtain it. The officers who brought him ara firmly convinced of his sanity ; but he certainly appears to be labour ing under mental aberration. On his trousers is some blood, which, when asked how it came there, he said was human blood—the blood of the mur dered boy. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE INEEK. Railwa 1 Miles Opened.

DOVER, SUNDAY Contrary to general expectation, the inquest on the bodies of the victims of the accident which has taken place at Archcliff Fort Battery was not held yesterday. The original opinion of the legal autho rities of the town, to whose judgment the matter was referred, was that the Lord Chief Justice, in his judicial capacity, was able to appoint a coroner pro. tem, under the circumstances which have un happily occured in Dover—the same event which renders an inquest necessary having deprived the district of its properly appointed coroner. The opinion was, of course, arrived at from the exercise of legal acumen alone, and not from a reference to precedents, the case of a coroner coming to a violent death in his own district being so rare as to be almost isolated. From a communication which was received yesterday from Lord Chief Justice Cock burn it appears that the assumption as to his powers in this matter was without sufficient ground, and that the only person who can legally name a suc cessor to the late lamented Mr. Thompson are the municipal council of the borough. A few days must consequently elapse before the inquiry can be opened. The cause of the shocking catastrophe still re mains in obscurity. From all that can be gleaned, however, there seems no reason to doubt the gene ral accuracy of what has already appeared. It is stated that the portion of the gun which was picked up in the station of the South-Eastern Railway on the morning after the accident, and which was then thought to bear evidence of defect, has since been examined by a practical metalfounder, who is said to discover no trace of imperfection. The whole of the fragments have been examined by Col. Ingle field, Major Field, Capt. Bell, and other artillery officers, who have made very careful obs°rvations of the appearance presented not only by the remains of the gun itself, but by the scene of the accident. In the course of our investi°ation of the circum stances Serjeant Matthews, R s oyal Artillery, who is instructinc , sergeant appointed to the volunteer corps, adwho, like most of his class, is a very in telligent man, has afforded us some valuable infor mation. It appears that he hadthe fullest confidence in the whole of the volunteers who were employed at the gun in question. The wad used was what is called a " gramme wad, consisting of a circle of rope spliced in one part and crossed in the centre, and it fitted the muzzle of the gun particularly well. The gun was well sponged out, and the cartridge rammed home by two long-armed, muscular fel lows (gunners Pell and Penn) ; in short, it is the opinion of the instructing sergeant that the work could not have been better done. He relies upon the fact of the ball reaching to within a short distance of the target as one of the most important proofs that could be offered of the proper loading of the gun. The gun, in compliance with the regular prac tice, was thoroughly examined, or "searched," ac cording to the technical phrase, both by the Royal Artillery and the volunteers, and several rounds had been discharged from the same piece before the explosion took place. It is supposed that the gun must be nearly GO years old, the date of its compa nion piece being 1803. It is not thought, however, that the gun was at all unsafe by reason of its age, it being the practice to condemn ordnance, not on account of the length of time it has been cast, but by the degree of wear it has received. The suppo sition that the charge had got displaced is put to flight now that the elevation of the gun has been ascertained. It appears that it was pointed at 41 degrees, an elevation sufficient to prevent any chance of displacement, although such an occurrence would have been quite within the range of possibility i" the elevation had been less decided. Some of the escapes appear to have been little short of miraculous. Mr. J. Stilwell, solicitor, who was the lieutenant in charge of the gun which exploded, was standing within a few feet of it, and one of the pieces struck the ground a very few feet distant from him, tearing up the earth, and cover ing him with mud and dirt, but inflicting no injury. Mr. E: R. Mowell, Mr. R. Foster, jun., and several other volunteers also very narrowly escaped accident. We are glad to state that the sufferers are pro gressing; 9. favourably. Mr. Gilfillan, whose arm was fractured, is quite conscious, but, singular to state, he retains not the faintest recollection of the ter rible occurrence. Mr. Harris remained in a very critical state yesterday, but confident hopes are expressed of his recovery. It should be stated that the Dover Volunteer Artillery Corps are considered a smart body of men by those cap 4ble of forming an opinion on the merits of artillery service, and that they have earned spe cial praise for their activity and skill in ball firing. Indeed their services would be esteemed, in case of need, as little inferior to those of the regular bri gade; but, while sharing the skill of their profes sional brethren in arms, they are not preserved from the risks pqnungn to their position. It is not for a moment supposed that this accident will have NORTH EASTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Friday—Mr. H. S. Thompson, M.P., pre sided. The CHAIRMAN said that, in drawing the atten tion of the proprietors to the results of the half year's working, the directors, of course, felt very much gratified at being able to state that the increase in the gross receipts amounted to £77,852. In the pas senger department the increase during the past half year, as compared with the corresponding half of last year, had been £18,5141; in the goods department an increase of £45,144 ; and in the mineral depart ment an increase of £13,779. The gross receipts had increased very nearly 9 per cent., bbt the net increase had been 1 per cent. more than that, so that the general result of the working of the half year had proved very satisfactory. The increase of the passenger traffic in their district had been more than at the average rate of the population of the country, which was very gratifying, considering the unfavourable weather that had prevailed during the whole year. The increase of £45,000 in the goods department was very satisfactory, and it was the great item of increase during the half-year. Nearly all branches of trade which are represented in the goods department had been extremely active, and one portion of their district especially had shown this increased activity, which was the port of Hull, where it was essential to provide addi tional accommodation, particularly dock accommo dation for the large steamships, to meet the in creased import and export trade as connected with the large manufacturing districts of Yorkshire and Lancashire. Speaking on behalf of the board of directors, he (the chairman) had to express his great gratification that they could show an increase at all in the mineral traffic at a time when there had been a considerable falling off in the coke traffic. That traffic had undergone a steady and continuous decline ; but he was happy to say there had sprung up a demand for coke for smelting purposes, which had not only counteracted and neutralized the de cline in the demand for railway coke, but had caused an increase in the receipts of a character which he hoped would continue. The directors had turned their attention to re-rolling the rails and relaying the line with them instead of new ones ; for when they were re-rolled they were as good as could be procured, and when they were subjected to the process of steeling they would be better than those laid down previously. In the re port of the directors it was stated that the new stock to the extent of £500,000, bearing a preferential di vidend at the rate of 4 per cent., had all been sub scribed for by the shareholders, and, with the exception of about £lO,OOO, paid up. There was now, however, a balance of only £5,000 remaining to be paid. The sum of £45,000 had been renewed at 31 per cent., and £1,072,000 at 4 per cent., so that there had been a saving of interest of £7,753 per annum. (Applause.) He concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. Alderman LEEMAN seconded the motion, which, after a few remarks, was carried nem. con. The CHAIRMAN next moved— " That dividends (less income tax) be declared, for the half-year ended the 30th June, 1860, and be paid on the 21st inst. to the proprietors, on the Berwick capital stock at the rate of 51 per cent. per annum; and upon the Thirsk and Malton stock at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum ; upon the York capital stock at the rate of 41- per cent. per annum ; and upon the Leeds capital stock at the rate of 21 per cent, per annum." Mr. PULLEINE seconded the motion, which was carried. The CHAIRMAN then proposed a resolution ap proving renewed applications being made to Parlia ment for the amalgamation of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway Company with this company ; for power to construct a railway between Blaydon and Conside ; to complete the North Yorkshire and Cleveland Railway through to Grosmont ; and to deviate the Whitby and Pickering line near Goath land, in order to avoid the incline there. This resolution was also adopted. The CHAIRMAN next moved a resolution in favour of the amalgamation of the North-Eastern with the Stockton and Darlington Railway Company. Mr. Alderman SEYMOUR seconded the motion, which was carried. The CHAIRMAN then proposed a resolution author ising the directors to concur in an application to Parliament by a new company for power to con struct new docks on the west foreshore of the Hum • ber at Hull, in connexion with this company's rail way, and for subscribing thereto to the extent of £50,000. Mr. PRIESTMAN seconded the resolution. Mr. FOSTER recommended the shareholders to be cautious before passing this resolution. The CHAIMAN said it was necessary to make the dock, and no doubt it would be made; if not, Hull must go down. The resolution was carried unanimously, a vote of thanks to the chairman closing the proceedings. MARYPORT AND CARLISLE. The directors of this company have recommended a dividend at the rate of 61 per cent. per annum for the half year ending the 30th of June last. LONDON AND BLACKWALL. The report of the directors of this company states that the balance to the credit of revenue is £27,569, and after deducting £6,593 for interest, £20,976 remains, which enables the directors to recommend a dividend for the half year at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, being an increase of one quarter per cent. upon the dividend paid at this time last year. The net increase of receipts for the past half year is £1,813; the total receipts amounted to £45,967, against £43,838, showing an increase of £2,129; and the total expenditure to £18,397, against £lB,OBl, showing an increase of £316. The whole of the goods station on the south side of the line at the Minories will shortly be appropriated to the Great Northern Railway Company for their exclu sive use. The share capital to be created under the authority of the new Act is .£300,000, and the esti- mates for the several works are—for the London Dock branch, £73,555 ; for the Midland Company's station, £25,000; for enlargement of Great Northern 'Company's station, &c., £27,800 ; for Victoria Dock new goods station and alditional warehouses, £50,250 ; and for repayment of loan from bankers, £123,395. The directors recommend that the new capital should be raised by the issue of 46,154 shares of £6 10s. each, which are to be eventually converted into stock at £lO per share. The capi tal account showed £1,780,519: had been received, and £1,923,585 expended, leaving a balance of £143,065 against the company. NORTH LONDON. The report of the directors states that the gross traffic receipts during the past six months have been £71,322, being an increase of £3,494 as compared with the corresponding period of 1859. The above increase has been chiefly derived from the coal and goods traffic, and the directors have every reason to believe that the passenger traffic receipts would have shown more than their usual progressive im provement had it not been for the extremely un favourable weather durini , the spring and summer. The directors have expended a large sum during the past six months in renewing the permanent way, and they have carried the whole of this out lay—viz., £4,267, to the debit of the revenue ac count. Inclading this expenditure, the working charges of the railway have been £9OO in excess of the corresponding period of 1859. The net amount at the credit of revenue account is £24,606, out of which the directors recommend the payment of a dividend of V ; per cent: for the half-year, amount ing to £24,375, leaving a balance of £230. The capital account to the 30th of June last showed that Z 1.388, 078 had been received. and £1,396,174 ex pended, leaving a balance of £8,096 against the company. The revenue account for the half-yenr encliti :Tune 30 shoved that £73,823 had been re ceived,'c, and £41,984 expended, including £2,647 for taxation, and £5,458, toll to the Biackwall Com pany, leaving a balance of £31,839, out of which £7,234 is deducted for interest on loans, leaving £24,605 for dividend. MID KENT. The report of the directors states that the, re.- venue account for the past half-year shows a net TilE WAL WoRTH MURDER. The plea of insanity is definitely fixed on by the friends of William Godfrey Youngman as the one to be used and relied on at his forthcoming trial for the monstrous offence with which he stands charged, and they lose no opportunity since his commitment for trial, to speak of several of the family who have been confined, and died from insanity. At first the malady was said to be confined to the father's family, and it was mentioned that the grandfather of the accused had been so afflicted, and actually died while insane; and now it is added that he has inherited the complaint maternally, his aunt, that is, his mother's sister, having died at Peckham Lu natic Asylum. Whether this be true or false, it is quite clear that, neither in his manner since his ap prehension, nor in the numerous letters which he had addressed to the unfortunate young woman, Maria Wells Streeter, is there the slightest indica tion of a disordered intellect. From the inquiries made by the police, it appears that it is four years I • since he first met Maria St ree t er a t Lewisham, when they were fellow-servants in the establish ment of a gentleman named Hadley, and though he had then professed some affection for her, he made no offer of marriage, or even of love; on the con trary, they parted in the ordinary way, and it is quite certain that from that time until the 18th of June last (as will be seen by his letter to her) he had neither seen nor heard anything of her. The decla ration of the young woman who was present at his last examination, which declaration is capable of legal proof, shows he not only professed violent love, and was about to be married, to another, in Feb ruary, 1859, and was only prevented from carry ing out his intention by his apprehension and conviction of felony on stealing his master's plate. About the middle of June last the prisoner called on a friend of Miss Streeter, at Lewisham, and expressed a particular desire to have her ad dress, but her friend, who never entertained any great opinion of the young man, at first refused to let him know anything of her whereabouts, and it was only his assuring her that he " knew of some thing considerably to her advantage" that she gave the address of a gentleman in Hyd e P ark-gardens into whose service she went after leaving Lewis ham. He at once proceeded to the house of the gentleman indicated, and having there again ex pressed a great anxi e t y t o see her to communicate something to her benefit, he got her address. What his object was in thus seeking the poor girl out, and bringing her under the same roof with him in her last biding place on earth, is a matter which must be left to the reader's imagination.—Observer.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-Aug. 11. CLERKENWELL.—BRUTAL CASE OF WIFE BEATING.—IMPRISONMENT WITHOUT FINE.—A rough, brutal-looking fellow, described as a brick layer, who gave the name of George Ellars, but whose proper name is James Joseph Styles, re siding at 5, Mount Zion, Islington, was placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyncourt, charged with com mitting a violent assault on his wife, Emma Styles, under the following circumstances : The complainant, a poor, weakly-looking woman, who appeared in the witness-box with her face bruised and cut, said that she had been married to the defendant about eight years, and during that period he had been in the constant habit of using her. On Friday night, between the hours of eight and nine, the defendant went home the worse for liquor, made a great disturbance, knocked her down, and when she got up and was run ning down stairs, the defendant pursued her, and kicked her in the face and under the ear. He then left the house, and having had some more drink, returned, and again knocked his wife about with his fists, and then took a chisel and cut her on the back of her head. Notwithstanding the poor woman's cries for help, the defendant continued to ill-use her, knocked her down, and bruised her about the body. When th e l an dlord interfered the prisoner endeavoured to strike him, and at the po lice station he said, that whatever punishment he might receive, when he came out of prison he would be revenged. The wife is a very hard-working woman, but the prisoner did little towards support ing either his wife or his child. Both the landlord and the wife said that the prisoner had only been sober once or twice since Christmas, and it was mentioned that the prisoner had been sentenced from this court to one month's imprisonment for an assault on his wife. In conclusion the wife stated that she now felt very unwell, and in great pain from the prisoner's violence. The prisoner, in defence, said, that he was sorry, and trusted the magistrate would look over it. Mr. D'Eyncourt said the prisoner had been sent to gaol for one month,lut that did not seem to haVe done him any good; in fact, he was now more vio lent. He would now be sent to the House of Cor rection for six calendar months under the Aggra vated Assaults Act, and would there be kept sober against his will, and he hoped that when he came out he would be a reformed,:steady, and respectable man. • The prisoner said he should not have taken to drink had it not been for his wife's infidelity, for she had left him and cohabited with another man. The complainant denied this, and said there was no foundation for the statement. The prisoner, on being removed, said, " Well, that's a pretty hot dose I've got for this, I'm sure ; but when I come out, I will have my revenge, and do for you both." Mr. D'Eyncourt called the prisoner back and ordered him to find bail in two respectable sureties in the sum of £lO each to keep the peace for four months after the expiration of his previous sentence. The prisoner said he could find no bail, so he will be confined for ten calendar months—six months in the House of C3rrection, and four months in the House of Detention; SINGULAR CASE OF AFFILIATION.—Frederick Suter, of the Prince of Wales public-house, Charles place, Prince of Wales-r oa d, C am d en T own , ap peared to a summons, charged with being the pu tative father of a male child, the complainant being a diminutive female named Louisa Dawson, re siding at 59, Bayham-street, Camden Town. The complainant, who was exposed to the fire of a solicitor, said that she had been in the service of defendant's father as general servant, and attended in the bar of an evening. In July, 1859, before she had been in her situation three weeks, the de fendant commenced his attentions to her, and visited her bedroom, and this continued up to September in the same year. The result was that she subsequently informed him that she was en ciente, when he acknowledged that he was the father, and begged her not to let the " old people" know of the affair. He gave her several sums of money, and when she was confined, on the 2d of June in this year, at Hampstead, he paid ss. a week for ten weeks, and also defrayed the doctor's expenses. He wanted to get the child into the Foundling. She knew the time, as it occurred two days before the Cricket Fete on the Claremont Ground. The latter facts were proved by the landlady at Hampstead, who said the defendant had nursed the child, and had never said it was not his. The child was like him. (A laugh.) The solicitor, with much determination, cross examined the complainant, and endeavoured to prove she was of loose habits with the brother of the defendant, as also a man named Westbrook, the latter being represented as the father of the child. Besides, she had been to Chalk Farm with a soldier. • Mr. D'Eyncourt wished to know where West brook was. He did not think it very likely that a man would come forward and own a child. (Re. newed laughter.) Solicitor—Well, Sir, the fact is he will not come without a summons, and we were too late to obtain it. That is the truth. (A laugh.) I will now ap ply for a summons. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Oh, you are too late now. Solicitor—That is unfortunate. But I know the difficulty in these cases. You see the young man has never been put to anything—(laughter) —that is summoned for anything of this sort before. The father of the defendant was next examined. He said the complainant sought for the society of the opposite sex. He had the painters in the house, and frequently caught her with them. He dis charged her in consequence. Mr. D'Eyrcourt thought the] complainant might not be so reserved as necessary, but the case was proved, and he must make an order for 2s. 6d. per week and costs. The defendant evidently did not like the decision. MARLBOROUGH -STREET —CHARGE AGAINST A MOTHER AND HER SON FOR ROBBERY AND RE CEIVING.—James Willis, porter, in the employ of Mr. Hughes, draper and silk mercer, 149, Oxford street, charged in the first instance with robbing an assistant in the same employ, and subsequently with stealing a quantity of silk and other goods above the value of £5, the property of his employer, and Ann Mary Willis, of Woodford, in Essex, his mother, with receivinT the last-mentioned pro perty, with a guilty knowledge, were brought be fore Mr. Beadon, for re-examination. Mr. E. Lewis, of Marlborough-street, as before, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Wontner, on the present hearing, for the defence. There was no additional evidence, and Mr. Wont ner having made a long, powerful, and feeling ap peal on behalf of the mother—a widow, who, he saia, had always borne an irreproachable character, in testimony of which he put in a memorial, signed by the clergyman, a Wesleyan minister, and other gentlemen of the parish, who had known her long, and was not at all aware that the goods had been dishonestly come by. Mr. Beadon, cautioning the male prisoner in the usual terms, left it to him to elect whether he would have his case tried before a jury or summarily by him. The prisoner said he was guilty of the whole offence. Mr. Beadon asked his age. Prisoner sa id un d er 18. Mr. Beadon said he had. begun a bad career very young, and expressing an earnest hope that he would reform, told him there was no doubt what ever of the fact of his guilt as pleaded, and that he had placed tis moth er i n grea t j eopar d y i n g i v i ng into her possession the property pillaged from his mr)..ster. The sentence was that he be sent for hard labour to the House of Correction for six months. As regarded the female prisoner he would say that she had acted with extreme indiscretion, and ought to have known that goods in quantity, in which the employer dealt, brought home to her house by her son, could hardly have been honestly obtained, and ought to have excited her suspicion. With the advice that she be more cautious in future he would venture to discharge her. MARYLEBONE. —EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—PameIa Jones, a well-dressed young woman, aged 19, was placed at the bar before Mr. Seeker, charged with having stolen a gold watch and other articles, the property of Mr. C o l es F u ll er , a gentleman residing at Wickham Cottage, Ken tish Town. Prosecutor deposed that the prisoner had lived with him as servant between three and four months, and that on the night of Monday last, or early on Tuesday morning, before the family were up, she absconded. It was soon afterwards ascertained that she had carried off a gold watch, a gold ring, a braeelet, a cloth jacket, a silk umbrella, and a purse, containing The greater portion of her own clothing she left behind. He (prosecutor) had since seen her at the Brighton Police Station, when she ' burst into tears, and said that she had beer, very foolish in acting as she had done, and hoped that she might be forgiven. Matthison, 4 A, of the Brighton constabulary, and by whom she was brought to London, stated that on the day of the discovery of the robbery he took the prisoner into custody in the town alluded to, in consequence of information which he had re celyed, that she (prisoner) had offered for sale at the shop of Mr. Tairy, silversmith, 4 - c., a gold watch, which he suspected had not come honestly into her possession. Witness questioned her re specting it, when she alleged that her mother had made her a present of it, and that she had had it at least two years. He conveyed her to the station- house, 'when the watch was detained, and the pri soner was, upon giving her address, allowed to leave. A description of the article was subsequently forwarded to the C division of Metropolitan Police, and as it was found to correspond with that which prosecutor had been robbed of, he (prosecutor) has tened down to Brighton, when he identified the watch, as also the rest of the stolen property (with the exception of the money) which the prisoner had in her possession. The prisoner was re-appre hended at a lodging which she had taken in Caven dish-street, St. James's-street. It further appeared that upon seeing the prosecutor she cried very much, and said it was but right that she should suffer, as she„knew she had done wrong. The prison r had nothing to say. Prosecutor was desirous that the case should be, summarily dealt with, but Mr. Seeker said he must commit her for trial at the Westminster Sessions. She was then locked up. TEE NEW CENSUS ACTS.
