At length the men began to throw the ashes at eacli other, and grimy, and even bleeding faces so3n tbld with what effect. To explain the next step 3 taken it is necessary to state that the sidiugi or boll eo,u panics run close to the Vaggy.Lane footpath those of the London and North-Western Company on an embankment some 20ft. or 2.5 k! above the -road, which is bounde..l on that side by a retaining wall nearly 30ft. high ; and those of the Lancashire and- ld. STA3IIED 6d. • the German coal would. iu Fr:ec, and that the price of Belgian coal would undergo a re duction. Those things would operate for a time in juriously to the company, but the prospects of the railway were as good as ever, and on the revival of trade they would have their full share of traffic. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to questions, stated that the board would have no objection to consult with three or four of the large shareholders as to the pre sent management of the line, and to hear any sug gestions they might have to make. The directors had nothing to conceal, and would be happy to explain any matter that might be required. They had done all they could to persuade Mr. Reed to continue the management in Belgium, but without effect.] Mr. W. FENTON explained that it was not easy to get a traffic manager having the requisite tact and ability to conduct the company's business in Belgium to the satisfaction of all parties. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, ap proving of the dividend of 12f. 50c., or 10s. per share on the preference shares, and of 7f. 50c., or 6s. per share, on the consolidated shares of the company, and recommending the general meeting in Brussels to adopt those resolutions. The proceedings then terminated. Yorkshire on a rather lower lege]. The barrier which was attacked was built at one end against the retaining wall just mentioned, and there was there fore a line of rails just above the spot s whilst the nearest Lancashire and Yorkshire siding was at least a score of yards away. A couple of small cranes were first brought up by the London and North- Western men, but when attached to the sleepers they proved too weak, as the chains snapped, amidst shouts of derision from below, and a stronger machine was telegraphed for. Meanwhile the ashes and soil were thrown through the gap, and, instead of being returned, were shovelled forward upon the London and North-Western land. A little diversion was created by the rigging up of a platform by the Lancashire and Yorkshire men, who were thus en abled to keep in check the attempts at undermining the barricade on the other side. They also brought to the end of the siding nearest the spot a mas sive crane, which they chained to the rails and sleepers, and wedged against the buffers of the siding by a locomotive. Shortly afterwards loud cheers greeted the arrival of the opposition crane, the chain of which was soon attached to a por tion of the barrier, while the truck upon which it stood was attached to a powerful engine. Hardly had the windlass of the Landon and North-Western crane began to work before the other—apparently more powerful—machine was linked to the chain just above the barricade, and as the spectators scat tered for fear of injury the hook parted from the bar rier, and the chains, still coupled together, swung loosely in the air. A few seconds afterwards the driver of the London and North-Western engine, probably unaware how securely the opposing crane was fastened, began to draw away, the chain soon became taut, the cranes turned round on their pivots till they were opposite each other, and the North- West..?rn machine, having lost its balance weights by collision with some timber trucks, was seen flying 30 or 40 feet through the air over the narrow foot path into the Lancashire and Yorkshire land, strik ing down many feet of the retaining wall, and car rying with it an enthusiastic workman, named Ilib bert, who was standing on the truck at the time shouting and waving his cap. Fortunately the crane fell a few yards away from the spot to which llib bert was thrown, and he, though stunned, broke no bones, though serious internal injuries are feared. Many persons had narrow escapes. En another half hour the attack began again, and fortune now de clared for the London and North-Western Company. On the embankment above the barrier was found a large quantity of lime dust, placed there by the workmen employed in the rebuilding of the station, and this was sent down among the Lancashire and Yorkshire men until they were compelled to retreat to a respectful distance. Here, half choked ann blinded, they were kept at bay by one man ou the retaining wall, and were compelled to watch their foes working heartily to demolish the barricade. A rush or two was made, and once there was a fight, but a spadeful of lime separated the combatants, and after this the work:of destruction was continued with out interruption, and the Lancashire and Yorkshire labourers were withdrawn from the ground. This was at dusk, but it was far into the night before the task was completed and the last sleeper was levelled. For the present the appal to force seems to have ended, though the spot is still well guarded. Naval and Military Intelligence. Yesterday morning, about half-past 8 o'clock, the Royal Regiment of Horse Guards left the Cavalry barracks at Spital, en route for London. There were about 280 mounted, the officers including Colonel 'Williams, Capt. Ives, Lieut. M'Alpine, Capt. Lord Garlies, Cornet the Marquis of Worcester, &c. The regiment on arriving in the metropolis took up its quarters at the Regent's Park-barracks. The dis mounted men, about 75 in number, commanded by Lieut. Haywood and Cornet Guinness, left Windsor at 10 55 by the Great Western Railway. The 2d Regiment of Life Guards, under the command of Col. Marshall, left the Knightsbridge-barracks early in the morning for Windsor, with Col. Palmer, Capt. Stewart, Capt. Ewart, Capt. Curzon, Capt. Ste phens, Capt. Sir S. Hayes, Capt. Rowley, &c. The main strength of the corps marched by road to Windsor, where they arrived at half-past 12 o'clock, and proceeded to the cavalry barracks at Spital, just vacated by the Royal Horse Guards. The day was fine and warm. Great progress is being made with the additional infantry quarters at the Sheet.street Barracks, Windsor. An extensive range of brick buildings, capable of accommodating upwards of 30 married soldiers, has been erected on the north side of the old barracks. The new quarters are well contrived, there being two upper stories, which are reached by means of staircases, and protected from the weather by verandahs. A spacious block of buildings, de signed to accommodate the staff sergeants, has also been erected at the back of the houses on the south side of Victoria-street, and operations are in pro gress for the construction of other buildings by Messrs. Myers, the contractors. Lieut. Luard, R.E., has the supervision of the works for the War De partment. Her Majesty's 11-gun steamsloop Royalist, Com mander H. Earle (April 14, 1866), from North America and the West Indies, having discharged her guns at Woolwich Arsenal, yesterday underwent the Commodore's inspection, and was admitted to the outer basin in the dockyard to be stripped and paid out of commission on Saturday, the 13th inst. Her Majesty's ship Chanticleer, 950 tons and 200- horse power, reduced to an armament of 8 guns according to Mr. Reed's improved principle, was yesterday docked at Woolwich for the usual final survey. The Whole of the officers had been appointed, and her complement of seamen and others are await ing on board the flagship Fisgard, to be transferred. Commander W. Bridges (March 25, 1863), having been appointed to the command, will hoist his pen nant and read his commission on the quarter-deck this morning. Her station is announced to be the Pacific. Yesterday evening the transport Renown, from the East Indies, passed up Channel to-day with the 51st Regiment for Dover. HINTS FROM A CURMUDGEON.—" SPARE TI E ROD," &C.—l saw, continues our author, an instance returned :arheott(slo of the good effect of this treatment at Amsterdam. A stripling of twenty, comely enough in his appearance, the son of an artisan in the town, fell in love with the mayor's daughter. Ile could neither eat, nor drink, nor sleep, nor do anything in the remotest degree rational. The hither, unaware of the cause, put him into the hands of a medial l o of ° U r i ehi he practitioner, who did his utmost to cure hire, but signally failed. At last the father's eyes were opened by means of au intercepted letter. Like a sensible man he packed his son off to the public whipping-place, there to learn better perfectly cured and in his right senses. For deafness Dr. Paullini recommends a sound box on the car.

The weather was brilliantly fine, the running ground in capital order, and the attendance large. The principal items on the card were the Racing Stakes, Earl Spencer's Plate, the Althorp Park Stakes, the St. Liz Handicap, and the Queen's Guineas. Bismark was held in most esteem for the Racing Stakes, but the 7ib penalty "told a tale," and the Anglo- French filly Atalante won a good race by half a length. Twenty-six competitors wore placed under the starter's charge for Earl Spencer's Plate, and the leading favourites were Sycee, Out-and-Outer, Rector, and Mr. Pitt. Sycee and Out-and-Outer never looked formidable in the race; but Mr. Pitt —a "cast-off" from the Danebury stable — lay in a good position throughout, and ultimately won by half a length, a brace of outsiders—Miner's Maid and Sat y r —finishing second and third. The Althorp Park Stakes, always an interesting item in the programme, did not pro duce au extensive field, but there was some heavy betting thereon, as Suffolk, Lady-Elizabeth, and Lady Highthorn were strongly fancied by their partisans. Lady Elizabeth, however, again carried the Marquis of Hastings's colours to the fore and easily cut down the good-looking Suffolk • For the St. Liz Handicap a warm favourite was found in Knight Errant; but Wild Agnes, not trusted for a guinea, made nearly all the running, and won in a canter. The race for the Queen's Guineas proved an exciting affair, as Lecturer and Regalia, in addition to Orne, Primrose, The Miner, and Dunsany, were brought out to com pete for them. Lecturer was made the favourite, 6 to 4 being laid on him, but Regalia had a strong troop of friends. Lecturer, however, Waited on the Oaks winner to half-way , in the distance, and won very 'easily. Substeseetttlf 4 `l7-sto 2 was accepted about Lecturer for the Chester Cup, and he promises to become a great favourite for that event. Speculations on the Derby and Two Thousand Guineas was limited, the only transac tion of note being a bet of GOO to 500 on The Hermit against Plaudit for the Derby.

Flying Scud took a clear lead at starting, Bismark lying second, with Atelante in his track, Red Iliband being last. As they rounded the lower turn Atalante ran past her horses and held a eleailead into lhe straight, when Bismark gave .way, aud'the issue was left with the two; the French filly, however, held her own to,the end, and won a good race sby half, a length ; Bismark finished a bad third.

The usual delay occurred at the post before Mr. M'George was enabled to lower his flag. At last, seizing a favourable opportunity, they were despatched to an ave rage start, the lot streaming up the hill in a close body, but as they crossed the road Miller's Maid, with Salliet on her left, were seen slightly in advance of Satyr, Miss Frances, Goojerat, Moulsey, The Skipper, and Mr. Pitt on the right; to these succeeded Rector, King Victor, Lion, Sycee, and Huntsman heading the ruck. In these positions they came on in half-way in the distance, when Mr. Pitt, getting through his horses, joined ti the leaders, followedin a few strides further by Satyr, who reached Miller's Maid at the enclosure. Here Mr. Pitt, full of running, came out, and heading Lord Westmoreland's filly in a stride or two, won very cleverly by half a length, the latter defeating Satyr by a similar distance for second ; Goojerat was fourth close up, Salliet fifth, Skipper sixth, and Huntsman next. The next lot comprised Out-and-Outer, Signet, Pericles, La Dauphine, King Victor, Audax, Sultan s pad Wild Bee. Batthyany, who got badly off, being the abso lute last.

Through the fractiousness of Lady Elizabeth, who re peatedly broke away, the start was delayed some time. When fairly away they ran nearly abreast to the road, when Lady Elizabeth took a clear lead, having Suffolk on the inside next to the rails, with Lady Highthorn, Songeur, and Uncas on the right to the distance. Hero Fordham sent his filly along, and, clearing his horses without an effort, won very easily by a length and a half, Suffolk just defeating Lady Highthorn by a head for second. Uncas was fourth, Songeur fifth, and Pearl Mosque next. The others were beaten off a long way, the last of whom being Jenny, Beatrice Grey, and Dulcet. Renewal of the St. Liz.

On reaching the mile post Primrose dropped back, and Lecturer took his place at the girths of Regalia, and ran so round the bend for home, where Orne died away. and the issue was then left with the two. Regalia retained her advantage to half way in the distance, when Cannon brought up the favourite, and, quitting Regalia at the enclosure, won with great ease by a couple of lengths ; Primrose was a bad third, Orne fourth, Miner fifth, and Dunsany last.

Yesterday the Cantabs rowed up from Putney to Mort lake on the flood, the Oxonians down on the ebb. The friends of both parties were highly satisfied with the re sult. The Cantabs commenced their work at 30 strokes per minute, and increased it to 35. The style certainly might have been bettor, but the time kept was good. There was a manifest improvement, particularly in the latter part of the course, and in the rough water they had to encounter by the wind setting against the tide. The time occupied was 23miu. 35sec. The time of the Oxonians over the t ame course on the previous day was 24m. 30sec., but they Lad less tide, and whether more or less rough water is a matter of dispute, although it is certain they had a great deal. The Oxonians yesterday commenced their rowing more rapidly than on former occasions. Their stroke was slightly lengthened, and there was less pause between the pulls. Their average throughout was 36 strokes per minute. Sometimes they were rowing 37, and they increased them to about 39 at the conclusion. The time was 20m. 25sec. Some of those who took it made it two or three seconds less. There was a good ebb under them, and the wind was much abaft.

A meeting of shareholders in this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern preparatory to the general meeting of the company to be held at Brussels on the 9th inst.—the Hon. F. Scott in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, alluded to the various causes that had tended to reduce the dividend. There was the German war, the pestilence and almost famine, the murrain of beasts which had seriously affected the cattle traffic, a deficient harvest, and great depression in the coal and iron trades. All those things tended to reduce their receipts, while, on the other hand, their ex penses had been increased by the rise in the price of coal and all other materials used in working the railway. There were strikes among workmen and a rise in wages. There had, therefore, been a com bination of circumstances to interfere with the net traffic returns of the railway, and there could be no surprise among the shareholders that the dividend for 1866 amounted to only 12s. per share against 14s. per share in the year 1865. The depression was only temporary, and when trade revived the receipts would again increase as formerly. The Luxembourg question was now occupying some at tention in political circles, but he believed that, whatever turn it might take, the company would be carriers of the iron ore and other minerals on one side, and of coal and coke on the other, and after a time the present difficulties would vanish. When the depression commenced the directors gave imme diate orders to stop the outlay of capital on works and plant as much as possible, and to economise in every- way consistent with the safe and efficient working of the line. Mr. FENTON, a director, seconded the motion for the adoption of the report. A long discussion ensued, in the course of which it was stated that German coal was now competing with Belgian coal, owing to the high price of the latter. Mr. FILDES, M.P., said the gross receipts on the line in the corresponding half of 1864 amounted to £126,000, and the net revenue to £69,000 ; while in the same half of 1866 ending the 31st of December the gross receipts amounted to £147,000, and the net receipts to £68,000, showing an increase of £21,000 in the gross receipts of 1866 over 1864, and a decrease of £l,OOO in the net receipts. lie be lieved the former state of things arose from the exertions and residence of Mr. Reed at that time as the managing director in Belgium, but he had since given up the management, and to that he attributed the deficiency in the proportion of net receipts to gross receipts. Ile hoped, however, the board would endeavour to remedy that state of things, by the appointment of some gentleman fully acquainted with the English mode of working rail ways, with economy and efficiency, as had been the case under Mr.*Reed. Mr. REED, at the request of the shareholders, ex plained various details. With respect to the compe tition of German coal with Belgian coal, it arose from the high price of thelatter, but he bad no doubt 52. Fleet-street. At home from 10 till 6.

MANCHESTER, April 2.—The market for shipping yarns has been rather quiet to-day, yet there has been some business doing at the prices of Friday. There is no change iu home trade yarns. The mar ket is quiet, with barely an average business doing. Prices for most counts as on Friday. In cloth there is a pretty general inquiry, but it is not attri buted so much to a desire to do business as to obtain information as to the lowest prices before the departure of to-day's mail. The actual de mand continues very small. Manufacturers are not in so bad a position as they have been, being now without any inconvenient pressure of stocks in many cases, and consequently there are fewer very anxious sellers. They resume their last week's quo tations of prices for most descriptions of cloth, but these must be mostly taken as nominal, because there has hardly been a business offering to-day fairly to test them. There are telegrams from Cal cutta to-day reporting rather more favourably of that market. There has been some demand for doubled yarns for France within the last few days, and Messrs. Du Fay and Co.'s tables give the ex ports for last year at 4,165,6031 b. of yarn, against 1,561,0861 b. in 1865 and 800,0001 b. in 1864, and 56,000,000 yards of cloth against 21,000,000 in 1865 and 19,000,000 in 1864. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of to-day's cloth market:—" The aspect of our market is unchanged since our last report. We have continued absence of demand, but as there is no great accumulation of stocks there is little pres sure to sell. To-day the business has been very limited in amount, but we make no change in our quotations." NOTTINGHAM, 3d.—ln the hosiery business the home trade, which has latterly been very quiet, has been benefited by the brighter change of the wea ther, although it is not so active as is usually the case at this time of the year, or as it should be com pared with former seasons. In the foreign trade' there is little doing. Notwithstanding the large im portations of cotton into Liverpool yarns keep steady in price. The workmen are not quite so fully em ployed as they have been of late. In the home de partment of the lace trade the improvement of the past week has not been sustained ; but a good deal of business is doing for exportation. EXTRAORDINARY SCENES AT WIGAN, The town of Wigan was in a state of great ex citement during Monday afternoon and evening, in consequence of a protracted struggle between the London and North-Western and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Companies, the one endeavour ing to secure, and the other to prevent, the estab lishment of a cross road to the station of the former. When the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway was cut through Wigan it destroyed an old footpath in the centre of the town through the Faggy fields, and the company bad, in return for this path, to construct a footbridge over their railway, and to form a new road skirting their land for the convenience of the public. Lately the London and North-Western Com pany have purchased adjoining laud in order to en large their station, and they have, at an angle of this road, made an opening into it which has proved of great utility to the residents in one quarter of the town. By a bill introduced into Parliament this session, the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Com pany asked powers to stop up this Faggy-lane to make use of land they possessed beyond, but they were opposed by the Town Council, on the ground that the thoroughfare was of great benefit to the in habitants, as affording access to the London and North-Western station, and a compromise which was suggested--to close the road for its original purpose, if the applicants would continue it at a high level solely to the London and North-Western sta tion—was rejected, because, it was stated, that the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company refused to legalise what they considered a trespass by an opposing com pany. The clause was therefore withdrawn, and on Friday a contest was commenced, which culmi nated on Monday in something very nearly ap proaching a riot. On Friday the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company erected a strong barrier of sleepers, which cut off completely the corner where the path to the London and North-Western station leaves the road, and this barrier the officials of the other company, having taken the advice of their superiors, proceeded to demolish. In the afternoon, however, it was built up again, and this time the job was well done, large sleepers being placed 4 f t.or sft. in the earth and then bound toget her with nails and bands until a solid mass of great strength was con structed. On Monday afternoon, shortly after 3 o'clock, a gang of workmen began the attack ou this barrier, under the directions of the London and North Western station master, but they had only removed two or three sleepers when the engineer of the other company appeared on the scene backed by a large
