At the meeting to-day of the Scottish Australian Mining Company, Limited, the directors submitted to the shareholders their report and accounts of the operation of the company in Australia and London for the six months ending on the 30th June last. The Lambton property, which is situate directly West from Newcastle, at the distance of four and a half miles, consists of 1840 acres of freehold land, and 280 acres of leasehold land, together 2,120 acres. Throughout the first half of the present year the coal trade of New South Wales has been well maintained, and the quantity of coal pro duced and disposed of by the company during that Period cannot fail to be regarded by the proprietary a s very satisfactory. The quantity of coal raised and sold from Lambton Colliery during the six months e nding at the 30th of June, 1867, was 85,150 tons, as against 72,219 tons in the corresponding period of 1 866. The price obtained by this company and the other principal colliery owners in the colony, in all sales and contracts effected between the Ist of January and the 30th of June last, has been 3 d. per ton of large coal put on board a nin at the port of Newcastle ; but inasmuch 83 some heavy contracts at the rate of Bs. 3d. per t on had been entered into shortly before the price Was raised, to the extent of ls. per ton, at the end of last year, that lower rate (Bs. 3d.) is the price W hich has been realised for a very considerable por tion of the quantity shipped during the period now Under review. The net profit from the colliery for the half year at present to be reported on (including £ll3 4 s. 10d. received for rent of cottages on the Lambton property, &c.), after writing off the sum of £1,589 6s. 41. to meet Wear and tear, depreciation, &e., was £7,637 2s. 3d. The profit realised in the six months afford a divi dend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, and it Would be very agreeable to the directors to feel that they were fully warranted in proposing that such a dividend should be paid. They think it on the Whole best, however, to adhere to the same rate of dividend as was paid on the last occasion. Their P r incipal reasons for this course are--firstly, the p re sent position of the Cadia copper mines. It I }3e eins on th e w h o l e p r obable that th ere w ill be a the in connection with this company's interest in e• C. C. Mining Company, and in this antici pation, the directors, as will be observed below, fay') deemed it advisable to commence to replace, r°l3l profits realised, some portion of the outlay connected with this investment. Secondly, the izi at s of matter as regards the price of coal ; which T k a °t quite so satisfactory as might be wished. th " general revenue account of the company, for ishe six months ending at the 31st of December last, a , c/ Iva a balance of £7,051 19s. 4d.

(Before the Assistant-Judge.) TRIAL OF GROPES FOR MISDEMEANOUR. John Groves was charged with violently assault• ing Samuel Buzer with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Mr. Cooper appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Warner Sleigh defended the prisoner. The learned counsel, in opening the case, said he should not enter into the details of the case at any length, but all he should do would be to detail the facts of the case, and then call witnesses to prove them. Having given a brief outline of the case he concluded by calling the following witnesses :-- John King, a labourer, residing at 3, Crown court, Great Pulteney-street, said on the 29:11 of September, between twelve and one in the morn ing, he was coming along Fndell-street, when he saw the prisoner and six or seven other men stand ing at the corner. A large van came down the street, and the driver of the van called upon the prisoner and his companions to get out of the way. A man sat outside the van, with his legs hanging over. One of the prisoner's companions called out that that man had kicked him in the face, and whilst one of the companions of the prisoner held the horse, others got into the van and one took the whip from the driver and beat the three men in the van with it. The prisoner was up in the van and afterwards got down. He (witness) was stand ing near, and a tall man, with the prisoner, knocked him down. He got up and was running away, when the same tall man knocked him down, and gave the prisoner a cane, which swung as if it had lead at the end of it. The man Buzer said it was a shame that they were Musing him, and ran to pick him up, when the prisoner struck Buzer on the head with the cane he had just had given him. Buzer said he would lock the prisoner up, when the tall man gave him another blow with his fist, and then caught hold of another man and began illusing him. A cry Of " Police" was raised, and before the officers came' the tall man got away, but Buzer gave the prisoner into custody. The witness was severely cross-examined by Mr. Warner Sleigh, but his evidence in chief was not at all affected. Samuel Buzer said on the morning in question he, s ith his wife, saw the van stop at the corner of Endell-street. Some altercation took place between the prisoner and his mates, when the driver of the van said if he had done anything wrong they had better call a policeman. Some of the prisoner's companions took the horse by the head, and one took the whip and beat the driver of the van. Prisoner was assisting, and whipped the man in the van, and also the witness King. Prisoner also knocked witness down, and struck him with a loaded cane. He followed the prisoner down Holborn, when the tall man struck him on the side of the head. A policeman came up and he gave prisoner into custody. The prisoner and his com panions were the instigators of the row. He did not make a rush at the prisoner. King at that time was a perfect stranger to him. No one interfered with the prisonet ; he was not kicked or knocked down at all. King was the only man that was down. He suffered so much from the wound he had received that he was compelled to go to the hospital and get his wounds dressed. He did not know who the driver of the van was. He (witness) was perfectly sober. Stephen Locke, P.C. 143 E, said that on the night in question he was on duty in New Oxford street, and saw a large crowd opposite Dunn's passage, and heard cries of " Murder !" and " Police !" He went to the spot, and there saw Buzer with blood running down his face. King was standing alongside of him. The prisoner was about two or three yards from them. He asked Buzer how he came by the wounds on his head, when he pointed to the prisoner and said— " That man has been beating me with a cane loaded with lead." Ile then took the prisoner into custody, who, as he was being taken to the station, said, " Policeman this is a bad job for me to be locked up. I hold a good situation in London, if I am locked up I shall lose it." lie (witness) told .0..1 1... Ar Mrs. Caroline Buzer corroborated the evidence of her husband. Mr. Thomas Flowers; house surgeon to Middle sex Hospital, said—On the Sunday morning the man Buzer was brought to the hospital. lle had a scalp wound on the top of his head. It was a wound such as a blunt instrument would inflict. It was not a dangerous one, but it must have been caused by considerable violence. (We shall continue the report in our late edition.) MARKETS—(This Day.) MARK LANE. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market to-day were only moderate ; nevertheless, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, and a few forced sales were effected on rather lower terms. The imports of foreign wheat have been large—viz., 32,170 quarters. The show of samples was, therefore, on the increase. All descriptions moved off heavily, and the quotations had a drooping tendency. In floating cargoes of grain very little was passing. For the most part, however, holders were firm. Barley—the supply of which was by no means exten sive—moved off heavily at Monday's decline in value. For malt the inquiry ruled inactive on former terms. The supply was seasonably good. We were heavily supplied with oats, which sold heavily at 6d per quarter less money. Beans and peas were held at full currencies. The flour trade was heavy. Seedq and cakes ruled about stationary. QUEEN'S THEATRE. Last night the comic drama " The First Night" was produced for the first time at this theatre. The revival was particularly interesting, because it introduced to us the talented lessee and manager, Mr. Alfred Wigan, in one of his most famous cha racters, and also a fair debutante iu the person of Miss P. Markham. As the poor old French actor, anxious that his child should make her appearance on the stage, Mr. Wig,:n cre ates a part that calls forth tlic entire sympathy of his audience, and from first to last, by his highly artistic performance, he holds entire con trol of their joy and sorrow. Nothing could exceed the deep despair of the poor old man when all hope of obtaining the dearest wish of his heart :C2IIIS to have fled, or the wild delight that succeeds when only a slight incident occurs that may eventually lead to the fulfilment of his cherished desire. When, however, the poor old man sees his daughter dressed for the part his joy is excessive. The entire audience join iu the pleasure the old man expe riences when it is announced his darling's debut has been highly successful, and that from henceforth all fear of poverty has gone for ever. The daughter of the old actor was sustained by Miss Markham, a lady who appeared for the first time on the London stage. Nature has been bountiful to her. she has a pretty face and graceful figure, and a voice that had she chosen to have made her first appearance as a vocalist would have secured success. The travestie duo from the " Huguenots," sung by Mr. - ‘Vigan . and Miss Markham, called forth the most rapturous applause, and not the least person who showed most unmistakably the pleasure such a circum stance created was the lessee himself, who led the young lady to the front and then retired, leaving her to acknowledge the whole of the applause. The piece produced the greatest pleasure to every person present, and we have to congratulate the young lady on her very great success ; and also Mr. Wigan in having secured the services of such a promising young artist for the Queen's Theatre. • THE LAMBETH YES' RY AND MR. DOULTON, HP. At the usual meeting of the Lambeth vestry yes day evening, in the course of the proceedings, Mr. GILES asked a question of the chairman (Mr. Robert Taylor, one of the representatives of this parish at the Metropolitan Board of Works), namely, if he could state whether the Board of Works had sustained any loss by Mr. Furness, the contractor, for the first section of the Thames Embankment. Ile (Mr. Giles) had given notice to Mr. Moulton, another of the represenatives of the vestry at the Board of Works, that he should ask him a question that evening, but he had received an intimation that Mr. Doulton was at Brussels and ill, so that he could not be present then ; and he wished to ask permission that the matter should stand over until the next meeting of the vestry. The CHAIRMAN said that, in common fairness, he was bound to state that up to the present time the Board of Works had not lost a shilling by Mr. Fur ness in reference to his contract for the embank ment. Mr. HILL said that might be technically true, but still a loss might fall on the ratepayers. He bad applied to the Metropolitan Board of Works for copies of the depositions taken before the Registrar in Bankruptcy in the matter of Mr. Furness, and he wished to know whether the vestry would be supplied with copies. The CHAIRMAN said that the Board of Works had a copy of the depositions, which consisted of 100 folios, and in which Mr. Doulton's name was men tioned ; but the only way for the vestry to obtain copies was by application to Messrs. Linklater and Hackwood, the solicitors, who would probably fur nish them if reimbursed of their cost. It was due to Mr. Doulton to say that a letter from him ap peared in the minutes of the Board of Works, which had just been issued, and which was ad dressed to the Chairman. Mr. HILL said that he had the letter before him, and he read it as follows : " Reform Club, Oct. 31. " Dear Mr. Chairman—lt had been my full in tention to have attended the board to-morow in order to give my contradiction to the statement that I have received money in respect of the sure tyship of ono of Furness's contracts, or derived pecuniary benefit from it; but the very great inte rests I have at stake in Brussels, where we have 2,000 men at work, compel me to leave town to night, thus rendering it impossible for me to bo with you. I shall, however, take the earliest op portunity, either next week or the following, of meeting my colleagues both at the board and vestry, and affording full explanations.—Yours, " FRED. DOULTON." The CHAIRMAN said that there would be no meet ing of the vestry until that day fortnight, and as the subject would, no doubt, be raised at the Board of Works to-morrow (this day), perhaps it would become unnecessary for the vestry to consider it. It was then understood that the matter was post poned until the next meeting of the vestry. LORD DERBY AND THE ORANGEMEN. The following is the reply of the Earl of Derby to the memorial presented to his lordship by the Im perial Grand Council of Loyal Orangemen of the Empire, which met in London on the 17th of July last. The reply is addressed to Lord Enniskillen, G.M. s y l i O t t c o t d . I t 0 1 w K a n s ow tr s a i n e " Lord,—There " , m l e B6 s 7 c . ne time ago, by your lordship's desire, a copy of a memorial, which I had unfortunately mislaid in London, from a body styling itself " The Imperial Grand Council of the Loyal Orange- Order." The long and severe illness from which I have since been suffering, and from I which am only now slowing recovering, will, I hope, be accepted as an apology for my not having sent an earlier answer. The memorialists apply for a repeal of the Party Processions Act ; and in support of tl • its application they appeal to the " ready loyalty which has l a ways distinguished" the Orangemen as a body; and to the experience of Canada, where it has been found pos sible to repeal a similar enactment; and, finally, they complain that, practically, a one-sided operation has been given to the act, whereby its provisions have been brought to bear upon the Orange pro cessions alone. Ido not for a moment dispute the loyalty of the Orange Association ; and I am con vinced that, in case of emergency, they would rally as one man around the 'I prone and the institutions of the country ; but . the most fervent loyalty to the Crown, and the:most devoted attachment to their religion, are not inconsistent with an abstinence from all demonstrations as may, justly or unjustly, woundthe susceptibilities ofithose who differ from them in politics or religious creed. I may go further, and say that genuine loyalty in cludes a conscientious obedience to the laws of the country, whatever they may be. I readily admit that the Party Processions Act is one of an exceptional character; but, unhappily, religious and political animosity in Ireland is so virulent and so excitable, each party is so ready to seek for occasions of giving and taking offence, that au ex ceptional amount of supervision is required on the part of the Government for the prevention of demon strations which threaten the disturbance of the public peace, and too often lead to bloodshed. Nor do I see what justification can be found for the repeal. of the act, so long as the influence, however sincerely exercised, of the leaders of parties is insufficient to prevent their followers from engaging, in defiance of the law, in those very acts which it is its object to prevent, and to which its repeal would give fresh encourage ment. On the other hand, as long as the law re mains on the statute book, it is the earnest wish and determination of her Majesty's Government that it shall be equally and fairly applied ; and I think that the course hitherto pursued by the Irish Execu tive may give satisfactory assurance that, under the present Lord-Lieutenant, it will be firmly, tem perately, and, above all, impartially administered. — I have the honour to be, your lordship's obedient servant, " DERBY . .

MANCHESTER, Nov. 7. The trial of the prisoner Henry Wilson, who is charged with being concerned in the Fenian riot at Hyde-road, was resumed this morning at the Crown Court, before Mr. Justice Blackburn. The prisoners Thomas Scalley, Michael Joseph Boylan, Michael Maguire, and William Murphy, were also brought into the dock, but no evidence was taken against them. . _ Mr. Pickering, Q.C., said they had had a con sultation with the Attorney-General, and as they thought that the witnesses in that case were not such as they should rely upon in such a serious charge as that of murder, as far as that particular case was concerned, they should withdraw the charge. Mr. Justice Blackburn —The result will be an acquittal? Mr. Pickering—Yes. _ _ Mr. Justice Blackburn said there was no doubt that the Attorney General used a proper discretion. The only thing now to consider was whether there was a warrant or not. As the present case was not pressed there must be an acquittal of all. It was a question as to whether it would be convenient to go on and put it to the jury as to whether there was a warrant or not. Mr. Seymour asked to be allowed to have the opinion of Mr. Sergeant O'Brien, who had not yet entered the court, as hitherto they had worked so harmoniously together: Mr. Justice Blackburn—Certainly. Both brother Mellor and himself thought there 'was nothing in the point. They forgot to get the opinion of the first jury, and if they liked the opinion of the present jury could be taken upon it. Doubtless, if the jury found there was no warrant, that point would be worthy of consideration. Mr. Seymour said that as far as the question of foots. went, Lira lordOlie land thorn upon his note; and would draw his own inference. Mr. Juttice Blackburn said he had everything on his notes, and he had no doubt at all. Was it to be supposed that perjury had been committed upon it ? Mr. Pickering said that as far as the prosecution was concerned he did not think they ought to agree to a verdict being taken in a collateral issue. Mr. Seymour said it would havo another effect, as it would make the case retrospective. _ _ _ Mr. Justice Blackburn said that if either side did not agree he could put it to the jury; that being the case, and as no further evidence would be given, the case was exceedingly simple, as he must direct an acquittal of all the five on the charge of murder. Let the prisoners stand forward. The prisoners then stood forward in the dock, and Mr. Justice Blackburn, addressing the jury, said —As yet there is no evidenCe against these pri soners on the charge of murder, and you have to give a verdict according to the evidence. You have only one duty, and that is to say that they are not guilty. The Clerk—You say that all the five are not guilty. The Jury instantly returned a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Justice Blackburn said, as to the further proceedings, he had told the jurors in waiting not to attend till two o'clock that day, so unless they were content to go on with the jurors in the box nothing could be done till two o'clock. Both sides expressed themselves content to go . on with the present jury. Mr. Justice Blackburn—ln that case, make up your minds as to what course you will pursue. - The Judge then retired, and, on his return, after the counsel had conversed together for some time, Mr. Pickering said—We do not intend to proceed at all. Would it not be better to cuter a ?wile pro sequi, and let them be at once. discharged ? Mr Seymour—Or take a verdict of not guilty ? Mr. Justice Blackburn—You must settle the course yourself. Mr. Pickering—A nolle prosequi may be entered against Chambers, John Martin, Johnston, and Ryan. Mr. Sergeant O'Brien—Why not call them up, and give them at once to the jury, who will dis charge them ? Mr. Justice Blackburn -- The four • prisoners, Chambers, Martin, Johnston, and Ryan, May be discharged at once. Of cours e, Mr. Pickering, I understand you are doing this as the representative of the Attorney-General, and with his consent. Mr. Pickering—l am. Mr. Justice Blackburn —Then as soon as you can agree as to which of the other prisoners you will not proceed against you will perhaps state it, as there is no object in keeping these mcn in gaol. Ido not call upon you this instant, but I do so for the sake of the men. Mr. Seymour—lt would be a great convenience to us to know whom we will have to defend. Mr. Justice Blackburn —No doubt of it. As soon as you can make up your min& that there is no thing against any of the others, I hope you will not keep any of them in suspcnse. Mr. Pickering—We will take the first opportu nity we have to examine the evidenc43. The prisoners Carroll, Mo9rhouse, and Reddan were then put in the dock to take their trial for mis demeanour.

The Ministers present were the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Marlborough, the Earl of Malmesbury, the Right Hon. Gathorne Hardy, Lord Stanley, the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, Sir John Pakington, Sir S. Northcote, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Right Hon. 11. T. L. Corry, the Duke of Richmond, Lord J. Manners, and the Earl of Mayo. At a meeting of the shareholders of the China Steamship and Labuan Coal Company a proposition was made to wind up the company, which was strenuously opposed. The meeting has not con cluded, hut apparently the opposition will be suc cessful from the general foaling displayed. A very alarming accident, involving injury to several persons, happened on 'Tuesday evening on the Great Northern Railway, near the Welwyn Junction, where the Hertford line branches off from the main line. It appears that shortly before five o'clock a goods train was brought to a stand in order to detach or take on some trucks, and through some inadvertenCe the goods engine and part of the train of waggons were being shunted across the road on to the down lino of rails just as the Cambridge train, which had left King's-cross terminus,, at ten minutes to four, was approaching. The distance between the two engines was not sufficient to en able the drivers to prevent a collision, and the engines came together with terrific force. The shock is described to have been something fearful, and, considering the character of the accident, it is most remarkable that a serious loss of life did not ensue. As it was, however, the consequences were most deplorable. Both eugiues were thrown across the road, blocking the traffic, and the three car riages of the passenger train nearest to the tender were much shattered. - Fortunately there were com paratively few passengers in the train, and although the company only report five to have been injured, doubtless several others must have suffered from the concussion more or less. In the third carriage, a first-class, a Captain Ferguson met with a fearful injury, having both his legs broken. It is stated that the next carriage was so jammed into that in which Captain Ferguson sat by the force of the collision that it was some time before he could be extricated. The escape of tho engine-drivers seems somewhat marvellous, but one of them, it is believed, has sustained a fracture o his collar-bone. The guards took means most promptly to stop all approaching trains, and then to remove the injured passengers and obtain medical aid.
