The supply of English wheat on sale at Mark-lane to day Was moderate. The trade was dull for all qualities, and to have pressed sales lower prices than on Monday must have been accepted by factors. The quotations roast be considered the turn in favour of buyers. With foreign wheat the market was well supplied, and tile import this week being tolerably large, all descriptions sold heavily on rather easier terms. Floating cargoes of wheat were dull at drooping prices B Pring corn, afloat, was tolerably firm. Barley was in very moderate supply and late prices were supported, although the demand ruled far from active. The malt trade was firm at full currencies. Oats were in good supply. Most qualities were in steady request at Monday's quotations. Beans and peas fully supported late rates. The sup plies on offer were very moderate. The flour trade was quiet, and prices had a drooping tendency. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Wednesday. A great fire broke out last evening in Stamboul, which has already destroyed 2,500 houses, mosques, and public buildings, and is still raging. [LATEST PARTICULARS BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] This terrible fire, we regret to state, has been attended with a far more serious loss of property than was expected when the first telegram was sent to London ; and it now turns out that no fewer than 2,800 houses, public buildings, and places dedicated for Divine service, have been for the most part levelled with the ground. There are cer tainly a few exceptions, where the walls are stand ing, but the principal mosques are now nowhere to be seen. The accounts forwarded this (Friday) morning to the different insurance companies in the City are of a harrowing nature. Some idea may be formed of the sufferings of over 22,500 persons who had to rush out of their habitations almost naked to escape from the ravages of the flames. It would appear that the conflagration commenced in a building two storeys high. From that part the flames spread with rapidity, igniting in succession whole rows of houses and stores on the north-west side. The scene amongst the people was pitiable in the extreme. The meagre means of contending with such a fire were found perfectly inadequate, and added to that the water supply was equally ineffi cient. Explosions of a fearful character followed in rapid succession, and it was feared that as the build ings came toppling down several men who were assist ing had been crushed to death. It was not, however, clearly stated whether any lives had been sacrificed, the excitement and confusion being so great that the agents of the different insurance offices were unable to ascertain, but there was strong ground for sup posing that a great loss of life had taken place. It was found perfectly impracticable to find shelter for the whole of the burnt-out people and their children, and they had to content themselves by sleeping in fields and gardens near. When the last telegram was received, prayers were being offered up to the Almighty to stop the ravages of the fire. The principal portions of the houses were com posed in a great measure of timber, which, of course, will account for the extraordinary spread of the flames. No conflagration of such magnitude has taken place since the burning of the City of Hamburgh, and it is stated that more persons have lost their homes and all they possessed than there was even at that conflagration. Mr. Hodsall, assessor of losses, and several other gentlemen belonging to the different fire offices, have sent specially down to ascertain how the insurance companies of the city and provincial towns . are interested ; and also to inquire into the cause of the terrible calamity, and how many persons are left unprovided for, The fire is now considered to have been fairly stopped at each point, and unless the wind should spring up, there was no danger of any further ex tension of mischief. Whole streets, squares, mosques and Government buildings were blazing away at the same time. Measures have at once been taken to get up a subscription for the housing of the poor burnt-out creatures, which it is to be hoped will be liberally responded to by the more fortunate inhabitants.

After going about 200 yards, Cadeau rushed to the front, and carried on the running to the bottom turn, where Alice Lee drew forward, and entering the straight—where Cadeau gave way—Overture and Rose came on in pursuit of Mr. Cliff's filly, Rose making her effort at the distance, gradually overhauled the leader, but never quite getting up, Alice Lee won a good race by a neck; Rose a bad third ; Vabalathus was fourth ; the others, finishing in straggling order, were brought up by Golden Cross and Rosina.

BOW-STREET. CHARGE OF ROBBERY BY A ;CLERK.—Albert John Reeves, a fashionably -dressed young man, was brought before Mr. Vaughan on remand, charged with robbing his employer, George Haseltine, a civil engineer, residing at 8, Southampton-buildings, Chancery-lane. From the evidence of the prosecutor it appeared that the prisoner had until very lately been in his employ as clerk. For some time he (prosecutor) had had a number of valu able gold and silver medals and a quantity of gold and silver coin in his possession, which he had now discovered had been stolen. The prisoner had lately quitted his em ployment, and from certain circumstances ho was induced to believe that he had committed the robbery. He had, during the time he was in his employ, access to the little ant e-room adjoining his (prosecutor's) office, where the property was kept. Amongst the coins taken away was a gold ten-dollar piece, another for five dollars, another for three dollars, and a large quantity of American and Russian silver money. A patent stamp for £5, a gold medal, valued at .£4, a pair of ma thematical dividers, a pincushion, two keys, and some other miscellaneous property had been abstracted. He did not know when the silver money had been taken, but out of 640 z., which was originally in the bag in which it was kept, only 30oz. remained. Aletter directed to Saxony, containing a draft for a sum of money, had also been taken away, as well as a couple of scrapbooks. At the prisoner's lodgings he found a box, which belonged to the prisoner, in which was the pincushion, the dividers, and the keys produced, which be identified as being part of the property of which he had been robbed. He paid the prisoner ls. 6d. a day wages, but lately he had been working by the piece. Police constable Robert Wensley took the prisoner into custody. When at the station-house he gave his address 174, Fleet-street, and also at the Sussex Hotel, Bouverie street, Fleet-street, which was correct. The prosecutor on a former occasion asked for a remand, in order that certain information given by the prisoner with respect to the medals might be inquired into ; and, in reply to Mr. Vaughan, the magistrate, he said he had not made any promise of forgiveness to the prisoner, although he had told him it would be better for him to tell the truth about the matter, as in that case he would deal leniently with him. The constable this morning informed the magistrate that ho had not yet succeeded in tracing any part of the stolen property, with the exception of the pincushion, dividers, and keys produced. He, however, felt that if an other remand was granted he should be able to get some information relating to the stolen property. The prisoner was remanded for a week. ROBBERY BY A POTMAN.--William Henry Sledge, late a potman in the employ of Mr. Vass, landlord of the Goat Tavern, Chenie-street, Tottenham-court -road, was placed before Mr Vaugan cnarged with absconding with the pro ceeds of a cheque for £25, the property of his employer. It will be recollected that the prisoner was sent out to obtain change for the cheque, which he did at Mr. Hazle wood's, in Tottenham court-road, but ho never returned with it to Mr. Vass. He stated that he had had a fit in the street, and that he had lost the money. The evidence was completed to-day by the production of the cheque, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. MARLBORO UGH-S TREE T. SELF-ACCUSATION OF FELONY. —Thos. Henry, a young man, described as having no home, was charged before Mr. Knox. on his own confession, with stealing £4, the moneys of John Travers, a groom now living at the Rose and Crown Hotel, Watford, Herts. John Jackman, 34 C, said that at an early hour this morning, while standing at the corner of BondLstreet, the prisoner walked up to him and said he wanted to give him self up for having stolen £4 belonging to a groom who was lodging at Russell's Coffee-house, Shepherd's-market, May fair, on Tuesday week. He took the prisoner to the sta tion, and on being asked if he wished to say anything, ho replied, "Nothing, only that I took the money ;" adding that he had spent the money in different things. He (the constable) afterwards went to the coffee-house, and there ascertained that the groom had left the coffee-house and gone to live at the Rose and Crown, Watford, Herts. Mr. Knox asked the constable whether the groom had lost the money. The constable said he had. Mr. Knox asked the prisoner if he wished to say any thing. The prisoner replied in the negative, upon which Mr. Knox remanded him for a week. THAMES. A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.—John Bennett, an agricultural labourer and waggoner in the employ of Mr. Ray, a farmer of Thenfield, Essex, 18 miles from London, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being drunk, and driving a waggon and two horses in the Bow-road without reins or any means of guiding the animals. Police constable Nichols, 450 K, said the prisoner was totally drunk, and fast asleep on the top of a ladder in his waggon. The reins were not in the prisoner's hand, but thrown over a catch or hook, and the horses were going along the road without any one to guide them. The practice of Essex waggoners sleeping on their carts, and leaving their horses without guidance o direction, had be come very common and dangerous. Ite horses and wag gon belonging to the prisoner's master were taken to the green-yard and redeemed by a man in the employ of Mr. Ray a few hours afterwards. The prisoner said he was compelled to work night after night without rest. He had no rest on the two nights previous to his apprehension, and he was completely ex hausted and fell asleep on the road. Mr. Paget_ When was the prisoner taken into custody ? Nicholls—Yesterday afternoon, at half-past two o'clock, and I reported him too drunk to appear yesterday evening. I believe he had no sleep for two nights. Mr. Paget said it was quite clear the prisoner was not fit to be trusted with a waggon and horses. It might be that the prisoner did not obtain sufficient rest, but it was quite certain he was intoxicated yesterday. He should fine the prisoner 10s., and in default seven days' imprisonment He now gave notice that he should continue to increase the fines on mon who went to market with horses and carts, and who did not take proper care of them. The practice of waggoners sleeping in their carts on the road was most dangerous to them and to the public at large. He had known accidents to arise, and some of them wore of a fearful nature. It was quite time the practice was stopped, and if that could not be done by the infliction of small fines, he would see what heavy penalties could effect. WESTMINSTER. BEING FOUND IN A CHURCH-YARD For AN UNLAWFUL PURPOSE.—James Talford, a powerful young man, was placed at the bar, charged with being found in a Church yard for an unlawful purpose. James Potter, 174 F, said that at three o'clock this morn ing he heard a noise in St. Luke's Churchyard. He en tered it, and found the prisoner apparently asleep between two graves. When asked what business he had there prisoner said he had come there to go to sleep. Witness thought he had chosen a strange place and told him so, when the prisoner said if he had not been drunk, he sup posed he should not have come there. He must have got over railings eight or nine feet high to enter the church yard. He knew the story about going there to sleep to be an idle excuse, as he lived within 150 yards from where he was found. Witness took him to the station, and returning to the ground found a fowl with its legs off, and apparently just killed, near the place where prisoner had been lying. Mr. Arnold—What was there to steal in the churchyard ? Witness—The lead had been stripped from off the vestry, and was placed in the yard. There has just been two attempts at burglary there. Mr. Arnold—What is known of the prisoner ? Police—He is well known as a suspected person, and has been several times in custody. Prisoner-1 don't. deny that, but that is no reason why I shouldn't just go over the railings into the churchyard to sleep. Mr. Arnold—Has he been convicted ? Police—We can't say at the moment, but we know he has been in oustody for stealing rabbits, for unlawful possession of stolen property, for frequenting a place to commit a felony, and for other offences. Prisoner was remanded.

Story of a Reverend Impostor. In 1858. a slim, dark-haired, softly -spoken, priestly looking person, about 26 years of age, made his appearance in the chief town of Surrey. He professed to be a convert from Popery, and obtained considerable pecuniary aid from Churchmen and Dissenters. Whence he really came no one knew; who ho really was none could tell. The Rev. Edward Mandeville Moreton—for so the visitor called himself—however, was suddenly found to be an impostor, and having been apprehended by a constable, was tried at the Guildford assizes on a charge of obtaining money under false pretences, and sent to prison for twelve months. Some men do not improve in prison, and Mr. Moreton did not. He came to London and took lodgings near Queen-square, where he became evening tutor to a respectable young man. Here he was taken ill, and re duced to a state of starvation. His pupil appealed to the Rev. G. W. M 'Cree, who has long laboured in the parish of St. Giles's in connexion with the Rev. W. Brock's church, and he went to see the invalid. To Mr. M'Cree he professed to have been curate to a rector in Essex, who had discharged him because he would not read the burial service over a man who had died a drunkard. Mr. M'Cree pressed him to reveal names, dates, and places, but finding the invalid coy and reticent, he frankly said, " Well, sir, there is something in your history which you wish to conceal from me. Be it so. I find you sick, lonely, and starving, and I will treat you kindly, as I would the worst man in London under similar circumstances. I will judge you by your future con duct." The judgment was unfavourable, and Mr. M'Cree was induced to watch Mr. Moreton with care and constantly in creasing suspicion. Here we must transport our readers into the country. A good minister, the uncle of the pupil whom Mr. Moreton had been teaching and deceiving, came to London, heard hii story, and took him off into North amptonshire for the benefit of fresh air. Mr. Moreton now flourished like a green bay tree. He grew stout, he paid court to a rich widow, he ordered new clothes, bought books, and made presents, all on the credit system. He also preached, and Northamptonshire peasants marvelled at his fluency and talent. The rector of the parish shook hands with him, the branch committee of the Bible Society made him its secretary, he was chosen as one of the officers of the local literary institution, he made speeches, he went to parties; and, most of all, was immersed by a worthy brother at Stony Stratford, and preached a sermon on the occasion, which sermon he published. It lies before us, and is en titled, "The Worth of Truth, a Sermon preached in the Baptist Chapel, Stony Stratford, Bucks, on Sunday even ing, November 13, 1859, by the Rev. Edward Alfred More ton, M.A., on the occasion of his baptism. Published by re- quest." From this era in his erratic history the Rev. Ed ward Alfred Moreton, M.A., went on victoriously. He was the Apollos of Stony Stratford. A public journal was en riched with contributions from his facile pen. Eloquent sermons poured from his lips ; he was sought by old and young; he stood on a lofty eminence, and smiled benignly on his worshippers. Then came his discomfiture and fall. It was found that he told "fibs," that he was involved in debt, that he was conspiring against the worthy pastor who had treated him as a son, and, in brief, that he was a very worthless man. Exposure came, and he fled once more to London. Remembering the kindness of Mr. M'Cree,he appealed to that gentleman, and, in order that he might conciliate him, forwarded a long autobiography. It is a strange story. An epitome must suffice. "He was educated at Oxford, dis graced himself, and left the university. Became a tutor in a nobleman's family, and was dismissed because he led his pupil into extravagance. Met with an engagement as a curate, defamed an innocent person, had to apologise and depart. Went to France, and began a career as a littera teur, seduced the wife of his friend, and was committed to prison for 18 months. Came to England. Professed to be a Popish priest converted to a purer faith. Engaged as a tutor in Sussex. Got into debt, and was dismissed. Lec tured in the Midland Counties, cheated the printer, and was sent to prison for three months. Forged some clerical testimonials whereby he secured a curacy in the East of London, offended his rector, and left. Went into Surrey, began his operations at Guildford, and ended them in prison." Such is a brief sketch of the history forwarded to Mr. M'Cree, and now before us. None of our readers wil feel surprised that Mr. M'Cree did not respond to the appeal Mr. Moreton made to him. " Mr. Moreton," said Mr. M'Cree, "if you choose to pursue a private career, and do right, I will not interfere with you ; but the moment you attempt to enter a pulpit I shall expose you." Fearful, probably, of Mr. M'Cree's antagonism, Mr. Moreton went into Yorkshire, where, under various false pretences and disguises, he victimised a largo number of Christian folk. He also married a widow, and then forsook her, but not until he had reduced the unfortuate woman and her child ren to absolute want. In 1861 Mr. M'Cree heard of the vagaries of Mr. More ton under another name, and resolved as a duty to the Christian public to discover and expose him once more. He was told of a preacher who was occupying the pulpit of a chapel not many yards from Holborn. "He w as very clever indeed"—so said report. "He was a convert from Popery" —so said rumour. "He has been baptised by the Hon. and Rev. Baptist Noel"—so said his friends. " What is his name ?" " The Rev. J. J. Crouch, 8.A." " I should like to see him," replied Mr. M'Cree. The Pastor of the church for whom the new convert to Baptist principles had been preaching accordingly agreed to introduce. Mr. Were() to the neophyte. At the time the introduction took place Mr. Crouch was eating grapes in the drawing-room of a newly-married couple. Behold ! Crouch was Moreton, and Moreton was Crouch. A stormy scone followed. Mr. M'Cree ex posed the impostor, who with consumate coolness de nounced Mr. M'Cree as a false accuser, and declared that he had never before seen his face. The host censured Mr. M'Cree for insulting his guest ; the pastor exulted in the belief that Mr. M'Cree was mistaken, and that his pulpit had not been defiled ; and the lady fled from the room in dismay. Mr. M'Cree, however, stood his ground, and made a solemn appeal to Crouch, alias Moreton, to confess his imposture, which at last he did by throwing himself at Mr. M'Cree's feet, acknowledging hisvillany, and imploring pardon from the man whom he had just denounced. Soon after this exposure Mr. Moreton endeavoured to defraud Sir M. Pete and others, but Mr. M'Cree check mated him at every turn, and at length he resolved to emigrate to Australia. He did this in a very characteristic fashion. By some dubious means, probably by forged docu ments, he became chaplain of the emigrant ship Boanerges, and set sail for the distant colony which henceforth was to rejoice in his presence. On board the Boanerges the chap lain soon displayed all the combined attributes of the Rev. Edward Alfred Moreton, M.A., and the Rev. J. J. Crouch, 8.A., and paid such unworthy attentions to the ladies that the gentlemen tarred and feathered him. When he landed he obtained the office of tutor to a settler's children, re sumed the garb, title, and profession of a clergyman, was "found guilty" of wrong-doing, became a " Baptist minis ter," or nearly so, once more, committed a fraud on the bishop of the diocese, and was sentenced to prison for three months. We thought, as we heard of these Australian exploits, that England would probably never see him again ; but our bright hopes have been blighted. It would seem that Crouch-Moreton returned to England, became "Brother to stand Mourns," of the monastery, Norwich, Ignatius orwich , mocnodnidse,ifx mistake and not, the monk whom Brother for three hours with a broken saucer on his head. Having left the monastery, he contrived to get some testimonials, went to Worcester, taking with him a lady named " Polly,' , and was engaged as curate by the rector of St. Martin's. But Crouch-Moreton-Maurus was still the same man, and h av i ng obtained illegal possession of a gold watch, both he and " Polly " have fled from Worcester, the police follow ing hard after him. Where this "strange story" will end —who can tell? It may be expedient to append here a copy of the police placard issued at Worcester in consequence of the flight of the Rev. Arthur J. Henry Morton—for such is the most recent designation—his name now being Morton instead of Moreton. The hue and cry is as follows : " Absconded from Worcester, charged with obtaining by false pretences a gold hunting Geneva watch and chain —the watch, No. 76,880, with white dial—the Rev. Arthur Henry Morton, age 30, height about sft. 2in., rather stout ; has pale face, closely shaped, and dark hair cut very short ; when he left he was dressed in dark clothes, and has the appearance of a monk. He pretends to he a clergymen of the Church of England, and has been for about a fortnight offi ciating as curate to the rector of the parish of St. Martin, Worcester, to whom he presented credentials which had been the property of some other person. It has been ascertained that he has been recently received in the Roman Catholic Church, and that he was previously an inmate of the Norwich Monastery, where he was known as Brother Maurus.' Information to be given to the Worcester City Police, who hold a warrant for his appre hension.-City Police-office, Worcester, August 28, 1865.' Wo hope to be able soon to announce that "the Rev Arthur Henry Morton" is once more on his way to tho Antipodes. If any of our readers come in contact with a " fascinating" person who bears any resemblance to the man described above, we hope they will not delay to give information at this office, or at the City Police-office, Wor cester.—Freeman.

The convict, Laurence King, who was found guilty at the last assizes of the wilful murder of Lieut. Clutterbuck, of the sth Fusiliers, under circumstances of peculiar atrocity, suffered the extreme penalty of the law this morning in front of the county gaol. Last night, about six o'clock, he was locked up alone to take his last sleep but one ; and this morning, at six o'clock, when he was visited, he remarked that he rested very well for about five hours. He then partook slightly of breakfast. When the governor intimated to him that his end would soon come, he appeared very much affected. Between eight and nine o'clock the Rev. Mr. Higgins prayed with him. He was then conducted to the chapel, where mass was said. Just after the ser vice he was placed in the hands of the executioner, who tied his elbows together behind his back with many plies of a strong cord. This functionary is as ill looking a vil lain as one would meet with in a day's journey. He is a prisoner in the gaol under sentence for a felonious assault on a child, and has some seven months yet to serve. He had on his head a conical black cap, attached to which were curtains, and they but poorly concealed his face. The rest of his dress consisted of a long black blouse. Inside the gaol all was quiet and death like. The ordinary business of the establishment was suspended. The turnkeys moved about quietly and with frightened looks, and the thick white rope swung slowly backwards and forwards on the gallows with the fatal noose conspicuous at its end. Outside the gaol was quiet too. There were certainly not more than 200 people present, and they consisted althost entirely of very poor looking peasants. Five officers from the camp at the Curragh, who it was stated belonged to the late Mr. Clut terbuck's regiment, were present and witnessed the execu tion. They came to Tullamore the previous evening. Eighty policemen completed the assemblage. The Rev. Mr. M'llroy counselled his flock from the altar on Sunday to remain at home, and they obeyed his wishes. Mr. Ander son, the under sheriff of the county, arrived at 11 o'clock, and the usual preliminaries having been arranged in the chapel the procession was formed. It consisted of the Rev. M. M'llroy, who led the way, followed by the prisoner, the Rev. Mr. Flood, and the Rev. Mr. Higgins. The hang man slunk after the prisoner. The deputy governor, Mr. Burke, the Under Sheriff, and a number of turnkeys fol lowed. The prisoner was very firm, and walked with au elastic step, praying as he went in conjunction with the clergymen, and kissing now and then a crucifix which was held before him. He was not at all pale or nervous. In fact, he was the firmest man of the party. He was only about twenty years of age, and though under the middle height he was of muscular build. Those who are in a position ;to judge state that he got very fat during his imprisonment. The procession wended its way slowly up a narrow flight of stone steps which led to the gallows. At the foot of this grim-looking machine the prisoner and the clergy knelt and prayed for a short time, and they'then went on the drop. King gazed about him for a moment, and addressing the people said—" I hope you will all pray for me. lam guilty, and ready to die for it.' The hangman put the rope round his neck, and drew the noose tight with unnecessary roughness. He next tied a white bag over the head, and concluded his prepara tions of the culprit by firmly tying his legs. This occu pied nearly five minutes. He then descended and untied a string. The heavy bang of a board was heard, the rope went through the block with a whizzing sound, and the doomed man dangled at its end. He fell about four feet, and if the rope had been 18 inches longer he would have touched the roof of the gaol. For half a minute no move ment was discernible in him. Then he was seized with convulsions. He drew up his feet, and clenched his hands, and shrugged his shoulders many times, and these dying agonies lasted for fully five minutes. The knot of the rope had been placed, or had slipped to the back of his neck, and he died a fearful death from suffocation. A low wail outside was the only symptom of feeling. In half an hour the body was lowered and placed in a coffin for burial within the gaol. Thus ended a shocking tragedy.—Free man's Journal. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. The following appeared in :our third edition of last evening : The usual half-yearly general meeting of this company was held at the terminus, Paddington, this day, Mr. E. Potter, chairman, presiding. After the usual preliminaries, per c ed t. ; I The CHAI RMAN move d th e a d op ti on o f th e report and than taken h ff a e n r 2 the as shareholders r statement of account s , w hi c h h av i ng b een pu bli s h e d were les said idla notwithstandingrt g h e a r t d h i e v regretted idthenatd tfhoer r e h t couldheheadh ahalf y beenneaoantr increase in the receipts of £45,000 as compared with the corresponding period of 1864. That increase was derived from 45 additional miles of railway, and it was less than had been anticipated and provided for in the calculations that had been made in the early period of the year. Its not having reached their expectations was owing to the cessation of the civil war in America, by which there was a consider able falling off in one or two large parts of the trade passing over their line, particularly the coal trade, and there was also a general diminution in their northern mineral trade, especially between Birmingham and Staffordshire, chiefly in the months of May, June, and July. There had been an increase in the expenditure for maintenance of way as compared with last year, and he believed that relatively to other railway companies that expenditure was large. That expenditure amounted to £154,000. By the substitution of iron and masonry on these works for wood, there had been a cost of £llO,OOO incurred, but the advantages of that substitution had been admitted. He next drew attention to the locomotive expenditure, which was the same as the corresponding half-year of 1864, notwithstanding it was relatively large as compared with other companies. The increase on this head and others amounted to £50,000. In• reference to the unfortunate accident on the Shrewsbury line which might cost the company £30,000 or £40,000, towards which £12,500 had been laid by, and out of the fund appropriated to accidents £4,700 would be applied. Endeavours had been made, which, ho trusted, would prevent the recurrence of such accidents. The great increase that had taken place in their expenditure was caused by the making of branch lines. He was happy to state that, with regard to the permanent way and main line the branches were in a more satisfactory condition than he ever remembered before. He defended the selection of Oxford by the directors as the chief workshop for the construction of carriages and wagons, in preference to Abingdon, Reading, and other places, which had been recommended. He concluded by repeating his regret at the smallness of the dividend, and expressing his faith in the future prosperity of the com pany. Mr. FENTON (deputy chairman) seconded the motion. Colonel LINDSAY, M.P., strongly condemned the selec tion of Oxford, and moved an amendment to the effect that before deciding on the subject it should be considered more fully. Sir C. itussEnn, M.P., seconded the amendment. After seine discussion the amendment was negatived and the original motion adopted. The meeting then adjourned.
