Sheriffs and the chief city dignitaries, arrived in state. They were received at the entrance by a gnarl of honour of the 29th Middlesex, under the command of Captain Gray, and by the members of the Ball Committee, who had already received in the same manner the other chief visitors of the evening. The whole ball passed off so smoothly that there is very little to record. Indeed, what can be recorded of a public ball except that the dancing was sustained with unflagging spirit, and that in the intervals light refreshments—we may say the lightest refreshments, as, perhaps, they should be on these occasions—were provided in the refresh ment rooms? For all who chose to pay there was an ample supply of everything. But the ad libitum issue of refreshments was restricted to such light diet as sandwiches, tea, coffee, and lemonade. For the rest there is very little to say; but, considering the time of the year, the fete may be considered a saccess,.and certainly had it been held earlier in the season it would have been most brilliant. As it was, everything passed off well, for the arrangements from first to last were excellent, and the lights began to pale their ineffectual fires against the misty autumn dawn before the fete was brought to a close. Those who have seen the Agricultural Hall in its present state of decoration will regret to hear that it is to be entirely dismantled after Satur day next, when the occupancy of Messrs. Defries expires. Only three nights more remain during which it will be open in its gala dress to the public —to-night, to-morrow, and Saturday. To-night there will be a - Volunteer concert, to-morrow the " Messiah," under -the direction of Mr. F. hings• bury, and on Saturday a grand finale of music. Without these extra attractions, the Hall itself would be well worth a visit to see it lighted up in its present splendour. It is much to be regretted that Messrs. Defries so soon resign their occupancy of it; but they have, at least, set a splendid ex ample of how such a building can be utilised, and prove] how liberally the public respond to really fair efforts made to entertain them. There is no thing nowadays which pays like entertaining the public, and after all there is nothing so easy. RAILTVAY INTELLIGENCE. WEST CORK. The report of the directors states that since the report of the Committee of Investigation was adopted by the proprietors, the primary object re commended in that report had been carried into effect, and the management of the line was com pletely changed. The bill for the extension of the time for the completion of the railway and for the arrangement of capital received the Royal assent on the 12th of August last. By this act the company were empowered to raise £15,000 on mortgage, for payment of land contracted to be purchased and other defined purposes, and the company were autho rised, with the assent of the existing shareholders, to issue the £59,980 stock hitherto unissued as 6 per cent. pre-preference shares, for the sole purpose of completing the line to Skibbereen. All the old direc tors of the company, with one exception, having re tired, the board as now constituted consisted of four directors resident in London, and four in Cork., It had been arranged that the former should act as a financial committee, to deal with the assets and liabilities of the company, and the directors resident in the vicinity of the line would control the traffic and working expenses, all matters of a general or permanent nature being left to the united Board. The receipts of the line since the opening had hitherto ocen barely sufficient, after paying a weekly sum for hire of rolling-stock and the current working expenses, to supply deficiencies in the ori ginal construction of the line. The directors had, after a careful inspection of the line, found every thing in substantially good condition, although the deficiencies in station accommodation and other appliances for working the traffic still operated against its proper development. A disposition had been shown on the part of the Cork and Bandon Company to remove the restrictions which bad hitherto prevented the continuous working of the trains. The directors believed that if the extension to Skibbereen were completed at a fair and mode rate cost, it would not only add very materially to the traffic on the existing line, but would also be itself remunerative on the outlay. The capital account to the 30th of June last showed that 2376,761 had been expended, less plant and rolling stock taken under execution, £73,896, leaving £302,868. The share capital issued amounted to £200,000 ordinary, and £60,020 preference, and the mortgage debentures to £106,500; total, £366,520, leaving a balance of £63,652. The traffic receipts from the opening of the line (17 miles iu length) on the 12th of June, 1866, to the 30th of June last amounted to £4,430, and the expenses to £3,484, leaving a balance of £916.

In 1852 the number was 81,250, in 1853 82,254, in 1854 84,885, in 1855 85,532, in 1806,87,430, in 1857 89,577, in 1858 89,012, in 1859 92,909, in 1860 93,414, in 1861 97,064, in 1862 97,850, in 1863 102,119, in 1 8 64 102,625, and in 1865 106,803. While there have been more births there also have been more deaths, but the latter show great fluctua tions. In 1852 they numbered 54,638, in 1853 60,069, in 1854 73,697, in 1855 61,942, in 1856 57,274, in 1857 59,103, in 1858 64,093, in 1859 61,860, in 1860 62,309, in 1861 65,251, in 1862 67,371, in 1863 71,060, in 1864 78,238, and in 1865 73,531. The increase in the population of the metropolis by the excess of births over deaths was thus as follows in each year :-1852 26,612, 1853 22,185, 1854 11,188, 1855 23,590, 1856 30,156, 1857 30,474, 1858 24,919, 1859 31,049, 1860 31,105, 1861 81,813, 1862 30,479, 1863 31,059, 1864 24,387, and 1865 33,272.

There are errors in both statements.

PORTPATRICK. The report of the directors states that the traffic receipts during the half-year ending the 31st of July last amounted to £11,175 against .£10,124 in the corresponding half of last year, being an increase of £1,051. The balance at the credit of revenue for the half-year, after payment of working expenses and other charges, was £3,660, which would be sufficient for a dividend on the ordinary shares of 1} per cent. per annum, free of income tax, being an increase of one-half per cent. on that for the corre sponding period of last year. The steamboat traffic had considerably improved, although it was very far short of what might be expected to produce. The directors regretted being still unable to report any settlement of the mail question. Every effort had been made to prevail on the Government to carry out the arrangements proposed in the Treasury Minutes of 1856 and 1857; but, although the obli. gations incurred under those minutes had been duly recognised, no definite arrangement had yet been made, and the loss to the company was every year increasing, while the disappointment to the com pany was very great. The County Down Railway Company, finding that the official reports of the Board of Trade and Post-office were adverse to the establishment of the mail service at Port patrick, because the harbour had been reported insufficient for a night passage, had obtained from the Treasury a minute, dated the Bth of July last, admitting their claim to compensation, and agreeing to give them a loan of £166,666 for a long term of years, at 3} per cent. per annum, in the event of the Portpatrick and Donaghadee route being finally abandoned. Iu the event of Portpatrick being abandoned the next best arrangement would be to establish the service via Stranraer, but via Portpatrick was the most expeditious route. The expenditure on capital account amounted to £552,637, leaving a balance of £11,035. The revenue account for the half-year ending the 31st of July showed that £11,175 had been received, and £7,515 ex pended, including £3,140 interest on debentures, and £4OO for proportion of steamboat expenses, leaving with £965 from the preceding half-year a balance of £3,660. BRIDPORT. The twenty-fifth half-yearly meeting of this com pany was held at Biidport yesterday ; Mr. T. Legg in the chair. The report stated that there was a balance of £921 in favour of the company, enabling the company to pay a dividend on the preference shares at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, and ls. per share on the ordinary shares, for the half-year ending the 30th of June. The long detention of passengers at Maiden Newton, the absence of a good and convenient correspondence with other trains, and the most extraordinary want of punctuality have elicited from the public loud and general com plaints, and had induced several passengers to pre fer the turnpike road, or the South Western Rail way. This was a serious loss to the company. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the THE REPRESENTATION of the' PEOPLE ACT, 1867.

This ball, which took place last night, was in most respects one of the most brilliant and magnifi cent fetes of the kind which have ever been cele brated in London, or, indeed, in England. In splen- ' dour of decorations it threw into shade even the re nowned fete given to the Belgians, or the more selectly filled, though far less lavishly decorated, ball room improvised at the India-office for the enter tainment of the Sultan. Till last night many years had elapsed since a great national Volunteer ball had been held in London—indeed, none of any magni tude have taken place since that in the Floral-hall, which, as the first of its kind, was attended by thou sands. Brilliant as that fete was in its general sur roundings and bright effect, it fell short of the splen dour of the mere ball-room last night, and it wanted nothing but the attendance of numbers to have made the scene perfect. Perhaps for the season there were not less than might have been expected, though there were certainly very much less than Could have been desired to make the scene of revelry complete in all its aspects. Not more than about 2,500 visi tors were present, and of this number only about 500 were Volunteers. This for a building which can accommodate at a concert nearly 18,000 lis teners, and has actually, at the Belgian ball, given space for more than 10,000, made the interior look by comparison with such great gatherings very scantily filled. What was wanted, however, in crowded numbers was amply made up by the in - creased room left for dancing and promenading, and thus the whole affair became w hat such great public fes tivities very seldom are— a real ball, where ladies could see and be seen, and where there was room for al without crowding or inconvenience. Whether such a pleasant result would have been attained 'had the entertainment been given at a proper period of the season is very much to be doubted. In fact, the mere holding of a Volunteer ball at this the dullest period of one of the very dullest autumns known in London for years past implies no ordinary amount of confidence in the attractions of the hall itself to overcome all obstacles as to time or season. It is never quite safe . , however, to ignore these drawbacks to great success. People who have left town and look to being up to their chins in the sea each day will not leave Hastings or Worthing, Scarborough or Brighton, to come up to a metropolitan Volunteer ball, which may be exceedingly attractive in its proper season, but will hardly " draw" well at any but the proper time. , Of the surpassing beauty of the hall as decorated last night by Messrs. D,lries it would be difficult to speak too highly. It was little better than a barn when they got it, and they leave it little less than a palace. The architectural features of the building itself admitted of lavish decoration, and all that could be effected by admir able taste backed by profuse expenditure of money has been carried out by them. On the night of the Belgian ball nearly £5,000, it is stated, had been spent on the decorations of the ball alone, the greater part of which, consisting of rows of lofty mirrors and massive chandeliers, is, of course, removable. Since then nearly £3,000 more has been expended in giving the finishing touches to prepare for last night's fete, and the effect thus ultimately produced was not only perfect of its kind, but really such as has never before been seen in London. One would require the power of writing chromatically, as well as in form and outline, to convey an adequate idea of the wonderful brilliancy of last night's scene as it appeared before the dancing began. The side walks beneath the galleries were spanned at inter vals by ample rows of coloured lights, very similar to, but much more brilliant in effect than, the old broad walk in Vauxhall Gardens. The walls were tastefully draped with muslin, entwined with wreaths of artificial flowers, and at frequent intervals large mirrors, surrounded at their base with ferns and groups of flowering plants, varied the long vista in the most charming manner. Some of these mirrors were lit with jets of gas in front, giving a double reflection to their rays. At other points they were left unlighted, little fountains playing over the flowers at their base, giving a cool and pleasant aspect to these little nooks of verdure. The main hall itself was, of course, the great centre of decora tion, and attraction also. This was a perfect blaze of light. From all points of the iron arches of the roof hung long lines of the most beautiful chan deliers—the centre being occupied by one which is, probably, the largest ever built, and this, filled up with emblazonments in coloured cut glass, shone like chains of gems in a brilliant setting. In front of the balustrade of the galleries running round the hall were a series of artistic panels in coloured glass. These represented the arms and regalia of all the chief countries in the world, and when lighted from behind their bright and varied tints shone out with great effect. It was at the southern end of the hall, however, facing the dais, that the greatest effect was displayed. Here, on a large sloped base, constructed of turf, beautiful exotics were planted around and between rows of cut glass crystal fountains. The combination of the bright crystal with the leaves of the palms and ferns and flowers was very fine, and was enhanced to the utmost at one time by the reflec tion of lime lights thrown upon it from above, and these by passing through glass discs of different colours, alternately blue, white, orange, and violet, gave incessant play of tints and beauty to the whole parterre. At the north end of the hall was a raised dais, the same regal canopy that was used on the occasion of the Belgian Ball. This time, how ever, the high raised amphitheatre on either side of it was filled in with a collection of exotics, inter mixed with arches and festoons of coloured lights, and above these were little balls of fire, which ever changing their hues, though neither fireworks nor illuminations in the common acceptation of the latter term, partook largely of the nature of both, ' and were very beautiful. Banners and flags streamed from every part of the roof of the interior. Along the main column of the central hall lay figures clad in armour were placed. These had been lent from the Tower, and illustrated almost every fashion, if we may so term it, in the art of armour-plating human beings—from the open morion cuirass and greaves up to the cap-a-pie suits, when the closed vizor left nothing whatever but steel visible about the man who wore it. Those figures were very effec tive, though, as was not unnatural, they perhaps attracted in such a scene less notice than they really deserved, far some of the suits of armour were as quaint in form as they showed wonderful skill in workmanship. At the entrance where the Lord Mayor was to be received two equestrian figures, both horse and man being in complete armour, were pl a ced on either side o f the door. Over the main entrance inside the building through which the visi , tors passed was a beautiful arched screen of crystal glass, lit with coloured lamps from behind, and the effect of this was very striking. Such, in brief terms, which arc far from doing adequate justice to the brightness of the scene, was the aspect pre sented to the visitors to the ball last night. When to these particulars we add the accessories of per fumed fountains, crowds of bright uniforms, the richness of ladies' dresses, and the strains of a powerful orchestra, conducted by Mr. Dan God frey, we have said enough to give some idea of the raise en scene of the Volunteer Ball. The doors were opened at eight o'clock, and shortly after that time, ally as it was for the commence ment of such a fete, the visitors began to arrive, and contingent after contingent followed in quick suc cession until ten, when Mr. Godfrey summoned the assembly to commence the festivities of the evening. Looking from the galleries as the first quadrille was formed, the coup d'ffil was so striking that those who witnessed it will, we believe, for a long time retain the recollection of its beauty. The uniforms of the officers of the regular army blended gracefully and artistically with the toilettes of the ladies, and made the simple and effective full-dress of the Vo lunteers appear to great advantage by the contrast. Soon after ten the Lord Mayor, attended by the ~~ tit NEWspApER report, said that the vexed questi " 1. 14-0--f Western Company required a f pAreelick patience on the part of the shareh the final award of Captain Galton, e 77 e)" 4 4/ to the shareholders the same pruden • r reserve which they would adopt in any avrS affair. Information, however, on the subject would be given to any shareholder by the sec retary. The irregularity and inefficiency of the traffic arrangements afforded much grOund for complaint ; but while the directors had been and were pressing this on the attention of the Great Western, they ought not to forget that the Great Western had difficulties to contend with. The report was adopted, and the dividends re commended therein were declared. After some conversation the meeting separated. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA.

A large quantity of corn has been thrashed and sent to mar ket. Wheat is generally in very good condition, but the yield is decidedly deficient. Barley is the best crop that has been gathered in Cornwall for many years. Oats moderato: The green crops promise an abundance. THE OAKS COLLIERY.—During the last two or three days the work of clearing has been considerably retarded, owing to the influx of gas preventing the men at times from working with lamps iu that part of the bottom walled off between the two shafts. Yesterday, however, the men were busily engaged in endeavouring to extricate the body found a few days since, but tightly wedged in with broken corves, pipes, and dirt. Up to 4 o'clock in the afternoon the legs and body, nearly up to the armpits, were bared, but the head and remainder of the body were most difficult to get at. Shortly before 6 p.m.. the body was finally extricated and brought to the surface. The cloth ing, however, was by this thno completely off, and decom position was found to have set in so actively that no possi bility of identifying the features remained. The body is supposed to be that of Joha Jones, a volunteer who went in after the first explosion. Part of some carves brought to the top were found not to have been burnt —a circum stance favouring the idea that no standing fire exists. The poor woman who was injured by the machinery on Monday week when in an engine -room near the colliery is sinking fast, all hope of her recovery being abandoned.
