IfL_-~ ~, 'ING HIBE.RNIAS. A special edi, the _North British Mail, published on Saturday, announced that Captain Pearson, of the steam ship Fitzjames, from St. Michael's, who arrived in Lon don on Friday night, reports having brought home the captain, mate, and second mate of the ship Hibernia, of Dublin ; and the captain, mate, and second mate of the ship Cuthbert, of Greenock, both abandoned waterlogged in mid ocean. The Hibernia's crew were picked up by Cuthbert after they had abandoned their own ship, soon after which the Cuthbert became waterlogged under continued storm, and the crews of both ships took to the boats. They were picked op the by Bremen barque America and taken to Fayal, thence to St. Michael's, and were then sent home bythe Consul in other ships. Nothing has been heard of the steamship Hibernia.

INo. 10, Poultry, London, E.C. September, 1868. ATTEMPTED MURDER. An inexplicable case of attempted murder has just been investigated by the county magistratets at Southampton. They committed the accuscd, a man named Morris, for trial, but prison will Le nothing strange to him, for it tranphed that he has been 20 times tried by court-martial, and LO times in prison, and at last was discharged from the Royal Artillery, "unworthy of being a soldier" being the endorse ment on his discharge. Being abroad when discharged, ho was sent home, and arrived at Southamton on Saturday last. Here a staff sergeant received him, but ho became so pas sionate on finding that his papers were not at 01103 forth coming—they were sent by post by the same steamer= that the sergeant handed him over to a sergeant-major of the Army Hospital Corps stationed at Netley, who, on ac count of his running away and declaring that he would not stop there, placed him in a ward usually allotted to convalescent lunatics and directed two men to see that he did not run away. He became very much annoyed at hav ing to give up his bundle, and repeatedly complained to the attendants that he was not at once discharged. During Sunday night whilst one of them, named Coppins, was sitting in a chair, it is supposed asleep, the prisoner, with a rasor, which he must have secreted, cut his throat and shut him out of the ward. The second attendant hearing the noise got up and tried to pacify him, but he threatened to serve him the same, and then he quietly conversed with him for a time until assistance arrived. The prisoner, was then secured. His papers arrived by the following post, and he would in duo course have been discharged that morning. His only defence was that the men had told him that he was to meet with his death there, but-this was denied- The wounded man is likely to die. Morris's papers make no men tion of his showing traces of insanity. TRADE AND FINANCE. The most important feature of the week in the stock markets has been the announcement of a dividend of I,k per cent. on the ordinary stock of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company, an event not alto gether unexpected, but one scarcely anticipated. This magnificent property, which at one time was returning a fair dividend to the proprietors, was brought to the verge of ruin by the operations of lawyers, engineers, and others interested in the starting of competing lines. Eighteen months ago bankruptcy appeared imminent. The actual liabilities of the company on capital account at that time amounted to £3,200,047, and their credit and resources were so completely exhausted that the directors found it impossible to renew the deben tures falling out at 5 per cent., or, indeed, at any price. This failure put a total stop to the financial operations of the company, and a complete exposure of the state of affairs was the result. It soon appeared that the company had been ruined by extravagant expenditure on lines that afforded but little chance of success. The endeavour on the part of particular companies to monopolise certain districts, with the view of pre venting competition, seems to have been particularly grateful to the vanity of the directors, but proved in the end extremely disastrous to the pockets of the shareholders. In the case of the Brighton line, however, these proceed ings came to an end, although not before very extensive damage bad been done. The directors speedily re traced their steps. The " capital account " was closed, or rather kept open only for legitimate purposes, and many of the proposed lines were abandoned. By judicious management and careful expenditure, the directors have succeeded in redeeming the honour of the company, now so long in pawn, and it is stated that the whole of the Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Debenture Stock, authorised by the meeting of the 30th of July last, has been taken up, and no difficulty is now experienced in renewing terminable debentures at a still lower rate of interest, so that all liabilities in respect of capital are amply provided for. It must be noted that the results have been attained without any fresh creations of capital. The present accounts are the first published in the forms prescribed by the recent Regulation of Railways, Act and will tend to dispel much of the confusion which for merly existed in the minds of the shareholders with regard to the condition and prospects of their property. It is now compulsory to stay the actual condition of the revenue and capital accounts, and the various items insisted upon will go far to prevent any tampering with the accounts, except by the most experienced and practised hands. Another important feature is the fact that the directors are obliged to state the estimated cost of lines in course of construction. The official liquidators in Overend, Gurney, and Com pany (Limited) have issued a circular, from which it appears that they have been enabled to obtain advances on the securities in their possession, and they will there fore be enable to meet the promissory notes falling due in March next. This will necessitate another call of £5 per share, leaving a further liability of £10; and the liquidators openly hint at the fact that a further call of some amount will be required in August to meet the promissory notes falling due in September. The fact of the refusal on the part of the banks to advance money upon them speaks volumes as to the class of the securities in the hands of the liquidators, and it requires no spirit of prophecy to foresee that " 0 verend's—in liquidation " will long con tinue to exist, and that the greater part of the " securi ties" will take years to realise, if, indeed, they are ever recovered. The present call is estimated to produce half a million sterling, and it is hoped that part may at some future time be returned to the shareholders, a matter about which we have the gravest doubts. Trade generally has been quiet, and notwithstanding the abundance of money, there is very little evidence of any great speculative movement Wheat has declined from 3s. to 4s. per quarter, but the fall is more apparent than real, as the condition of the produce is much affected by the recent unfavourable weather experienced, and the deterioration in quality is, in many instances, very con siderable. Metals have ruled very active ; and English tin, which advanced £l4 last year, shews a further improve• meat of £4 to £5 since the Ist of January. With regard to the wine trade, Messrs. Stallard and Smith observe : " From Oporto we learn that the wines of last year are progressing favourably, and although limited as to quantity are likely to prove of good average quality. Great care will be necessary in selecting the wines for shipment, as many were spoilt by the rains falling at the time of gathering ; we are by no means disposed to take the gloomy view that many do of this branch of our trade, as although it is true that the public taste is altered, so far as high-priced old bottle wines is concerned, still there is an evidently growing demand for wines well matured in wood. The total quantity exported from Oporto last year was 37,725 pipes, of which quantity 27,020 pipes were shipped to the United Kingdom." The London correspondent of a provincial news paper states that the completion of the agreement between in the State and the Telegraphs C om p an y , which was jeoparday a few weeks ago, is now placed s a l r ce c e bLy e o r n o d for d o on in bt a , and Mr. Scudamoro ' s magnificent schem fair way to be realised, to the groat benefit of the general . public. to a a visit to ba a n ll q p u r e o t ba in bility his Excellency will b e entertained the oofhnmsoannehheasstearccepptyed the in vitationrrhe H o f o t n h ' e R C o e rp v e o r r d a or ation o n j s..t a ln the city in the last w eek in February.

[NDVERTISEMENT.)-11.eneeorth no one will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabica Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from Invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the "Gazette du Midi," July 25th :—" Rome, July 21,1666. - The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme dies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, of which ho consumes a plateful at every meal.
