Were I fond of new and apt quotations I should describe the meeting about to be celebrated at York as being " big with the fate of thousands." No " book learning' , is, however, required to excite expectation, or to indicate the abundant promise of spirit presented by the pro gramme. The leading encounters will possess an endur ing importance, inasmuch as they will bring into the field in generous competition the "flower" of our turf celebri- 97 - 99 102 - 104 (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)

No opposition was offered, and the bankrupt passed. ties. The result of certain races will he regarded with no little curiosity and anxiety on account of the vast infleence which it will exercise on the St. Leger betting. If faith may be placed in the Squire's declaration at Reading, the North and South Biennial Stakes may again introduce us to Rifleman. Whether this horse be again sound in limb I have had no opportunity of judg lug ; the desire, however, which has been evinced to back him for the St. Leger would indicate that he is all right. Should Corasbus start—and the eagerness which was evinced at Tattersall's to bet against him justifies some doubts on this subject—l shall, despite the 61b. difference in their weights, be induced to place greater confidence in him than in Rifleman, because, to do battle for me over a long and severe course, I would rather trust an animal whose understandings have not been brought under suspicion. In the absence, there fore, of Corcebus, Rifleman and Noisy may run first and second. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COUBT.-(THIS DAY). OLD 'COURT. (Before the Recorder.) James Jona, 26, labourer, and Henry Roberts, 42, painter, were indicted for stealing a watch, the property of William Edroff, from bis person. Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Payne defended. The prosecutor, who is the musical director at the Grecian Saloon, stated that upon the night of the 2d of July he was at the bar of that tavern, after the perfor mance, about to have some refreshment, and upon put ting his hand into his waistcoat pocket he encountered the clenched hand of the prisoner Jones, and immediately found his Albert-guard banging from his pocket, and his watch gone. He instantly seized the prisoner, who broke from him, and got over to the other side of the bar, where he managed to pass something over to the prisoner Roberts, who was standing there, surrounded with several women. Jones struggled through the people in front of the bar and gained the street, followed by the prosecutor and others, calling " Stop, thief." The prisoner tried to run towards the City-road, but he was stopped by the waterman upon the cab rank. The prisoner Roberts was detained at the bar by a gentle. man named Rowland Hurst, who was in Mr. Edroff's company at the time, and who saw something passed to him. The watch had not been found. The Recorder told Mr. Payne that he need not address the jury on the part of the prisoner Roberts. Mr. Sleigh then addressed the jury for Jones. His Lordship having summed up, the jury acquitted the prisoner. Fanny Grey displayed so much racing ability when she ran at Wolverhampton, "merely to claim the allow ances," that I am induced to couple her with Lady Tatton to represent my interest for the Yorkshire Oaks. The 100 Soy' Sweepstakes is not likely to occasion a race. To select the winner of the Convivial Stakes from 139 nominations is a somewhat puzzling task. Fly-by-Night I am induced to number among the probable absentees, and unless the Whitewall stable contain another " flyer" at present " dark " the stake will perhaps be carried off by either Aleppo, or the colt by Flying Dutchman ont of Ellerdale. For the Chesterfield Handicap I shall ex pect the foremost places to be occupied by Early Bird, Vindex, and Orson. Acrobat will doubtless be indulged in a walk over fee the Burgundy Stakes. The County Plate will perhaps occasion a somewhat interesting race. Early Bird, Dervish, and Rogerthorpe appear to be the most attractive nominations. Jones was then indicted for stealing ten sovereigns, with violence, from the person of Frederick Lyall. The prosecutor, a stationer, living in Huggin-lane, Cheapside, said that en the 26th of March last, at about 11 in the morning, he was at the bar of a public-house Southampton street, Pentonville, and upon going out into the yard he saw the prisoner and two others were playing at skittles, vhen they challenged prosecutor to play. He did so for some drink, and then for some money, which prosecutor lost to the amount of 3s. 6d. He then wished to leave the skittle ground, when he found the door of the skittle saloon locked. The pri tuner then seized upon prosecutor and kicked him, and the others knocked about until he became quite in sensible, when they riled his pockets and then made off with the contents. Vitness saw nothing of the prisoner until the night of the2d of July, when he happened to be at the bar of the Eagle tavern, and raw the prisoner said recognised him as the man who had robbed him ; and be (witness) was waiting to find a policeman to give him in charge, when le ran away, and was brought back in the charge of the police for robbing him (Edroff). The charge, which rested solely upon the testimony of the man robbed, who gave a very loose account of the affair, was stopped by the jury. The prisoner, who ii a well-known character, after re ceiving a caution from his lordship, was ordered to stand down. Mr. Commissioner Gurney eat during the day in the New Court disposing of the Mint cases, which were of the usual character. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--(TIIIS DAY.) re fiord aryl Blet eh ley ...

The Derby winner will be called upon to concede Ms, to Oulston, a task which he will find some what difficult to accomplish. I have always regarded Oulston as the best horse of his year, and I shall expect his performance on Thursday to establish the correctness of my judgment. The only horse likely to interfere with the success of either would be Fandango, of whose start ing, however, doubts are entertained. Artillery is engaged in the Prince of Wales' Stakes, but it is questionable whether he will be brought out to prove in public his title to the support which he has already received in the Derby betting. In his ab sence I shall pin my faith to Brother to Orinoco and Warlock. Should Corcebus and Fandango start I may be inclined to "stand one of them" for the Eglinton Stakes, but should they be resolved for their other en gagements I shall look to Benhams and the intended of John Osborne's—either Lady Tatton or Alfred—so pull me through successfully. The Aske Produce Stakes I assign to Eglantine. The field for the Ebor Handicap will be numerically insignificant. Vandal maintains his place steadily in the betting, and the lightness of his impost, and the fact of his being reported the best of John Scott's lot, cer tainly entitle him to the position to which he has been advanced. His miserable exhibition on Knavesmire at the commencement of the season, and his subsequent defeat by Pugnator at Newmaiket, however, go far to lessen whatever good opinion I may be inclined to en tertain of his chance on account of the skill and judgment of his trainer. Saucebox is required to concede 161 b. to Vandal and 81bs. to Dame Judith, and despite the assertion of his owner that the public have not yet seen Samzebox run in his best form, I am com pelled to hesitate before I place undivided confidence in his chance. Escape has proved himself an animal of some racing merit, but there are other three-yr-olds more favourably weighted. A reference to the pages of "The Guide to the Turf" will be sufficient to prove Little Harry's claims upon consideration. His perform. ances, indeed, are sufficient to give strong encourage ment to his backers. Last year Little Harry, carrying Bst 71b (51bs. under his present weight), won the Ascot Stakes, beating Grapeshot, 4 yrs, 7st. 101 b., by a length, Kingston, 5 yrs, got third, Little Jack, aged, Tat 81b, fifth—sixteen ran. For the Eh... 14.ndicitp, last year, carrying Bst. 81b. (61bs. above his present weight), he ran third, Grand Inquisitor, yrs, sst. 91b., being first, and Amalgamation, 3 yrs., sst. 61b., second. Subse quently, at Epsom, carrying Bst. 51b., (31bs. under his present weight), he ran Mishap, sst. 6th., to a neck for the Autumn Handicap. During the current racing season he has only once been out. He ran for the Somersetshire Stakes, but, meeting with an accident in the race, he was stopped. The above statements are sufficient to prove the formidableness of his chance. Homily has been little talked about within the last fortnight. Should she go to the post and be intended I shall be induced to place almost absolute trust in her. She was yesterday backed for some small sums, but the outlay was not sufficient to raise expectations of her starting. Could I, however, calculate upon a fair start and no favour, I should hare no hesitation in selecting for my champions LITTLE HARRY AND HOMILY. Should Homily be numbered among the missing, then for her I must substitute VANDAL. The little-thought-of division may produce two formi dable competitors in LA BELLE and BOLTON. This opinion is, it must be understood, merely founded on the fact of their being leniently handicapped. Odds are freely betted on Fandango for the Great Yorkshire Stakes, and the betting in this instance may be regarded as a sure indication of the result of the race. The running for Earl Derby's Plate will be materially influenced by the result of the racing on Weduelday and Thursday. The " lot " which lat prasent fancy com. prisesllospodar, Ammonia, Ellerntire, Fanny Grey, and Lilly. The other events I shall not touch upon, as all opinions respecting theta can only, after all, resolve themselves into guesses. Aug. 21. A FRESH MAN. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DA Y.)

TEL—The market has been very inanimate, and com mon congou is dull at BAd per lb. SUGAR.—The quantity advertised for public sale is rather large, but the market continues firm. There has been a good demand for foreign, both for consumption and exportation, at previous rates. Low good fine yellow Havannah rules cheaper, duty paid being at 37s to 40e 6d. Colonial is wanted, and sellers require rather higher quo tations than last week. Refined home goods have been in demand at firmer prices. Brown lumps 47s 6d, and low to fine grocery 48s to 53s per cwt. There were landed last week at the East and West India Docks 1,210 hhds, 109 tees, 450 brls. There were taken for home use 1,328 hhds, 105 tees, and 543 brls. The stock is 9,632 hhds, 919 tees, and 2,447 brls. COFFEE.—Fine Plantation Ceylon has hem in more de mand and rather dearer, the supply being limited. In the low sorts but little has been done, and previous rates are current. Native is dull. Rio afloat is 36s to 38s per cwt. RUM.—There were landed at the above docks last week 691 puns, 8 hhds ; there were taken for home use 128 puns, and 11 hhds, and exported 485 puns, 299 hhds. The stock is 9,950 puns, 530 hhds. COTTON.—There is some disposition to buy at former terms. On Saturday the tallow market declined 3d per cwt, in consequence of the confirmation of the news efithe success of the Allies in the Crimea and the Baltic. Why these successes should depreciate the value of one article we are at a loss to discover. It is suggested that they bring us nearer to peace ; if so, we should find the supplies of tallow very short this coming winter, because however soon peace were made now no 4E -1 rect shipments could be expected this season from Rus sia, whilst the fact of peace being certain would deter merchants from undertaking the expensive overland 1 journey through Russia. However our own view is that peace will not be expedited by the presents reverses of 1 Russia. The market has been quiet all day and very little business has been done.

As many as 28,000 visitors pione4 tkougt, tli;§ ctity t4e iarrt tro yes3.'!. - Upon the announcement of the loan having been taken at a price as high as 104, the speculators who had previously been dealing in it at 3 premium were greatly disappointed, and the first regular quotation for the scrip was 1 premium. Subsequently numerous sales by the holders of small allotments caused a decline to premium. From this, after some fluctuations, there Ives a recovery to 1 to 1, which was the last official quotation. A large purchase was subsequently made at 1;,, and the latest transactions were at lik to 1. The course prices have thus taken indicates that the rate offered by Messrs. Palmer and Co. was about that which the speculators anticipated when they dealt in the scrip at 31 premium. Much of the flatness in the first quotations this morning was caused by the impression created by the wide difference between the two tenders that the terms given were perhaps more than 2 per cent, beyond what had been necessary. When, however, independent calculations came to be made of the real value of the stock—judging from the prices of Consols, Exchequer-bonds, and other securities dependent upon the credit of Great Britain—a more favourable estimate prevailed, and the market assumed a firm appearance, which was increased by the under standing that some of the later purchases were on ac• count of insurance companies and other establishments seeking permanent investments for large amounts. It appears that at the present rate of money the delay' in the payment by instalments is worth 1/. ls. per neut.,• and the actual net price at which the loan is taken is, therefore, 101/. 113. 6d., at which it pays an annual in tet est of 3/. 18s. 6d. The security of tie. loan is uuques tionably equal to that of Consols, with the additional guarantees afforded by the French and Turkish Govern ments, and it is on this basis its worth must be calcu lated, after making such deductions as may be necessary in connection with the sinking fund, and on the score of novelty or less perfect marketability. A point to be taken into account is, that the stock being primarily a foreign one, it is not available for trust and other pur climes where the English national funds are distinctly specified, but, on the other hand, the convenience of its being in coupon bonds will operate as an attraction to all public companies and moneyed persons seeking employ ment for floating caVtal. By insurance offices who will take them upon minute calculations of what they will yield during their entire term, irrespective of any other circumstance, they ara certain to be absorbed to a con siderable ixtent so long as they continue to present any great disparity of price as compared with ordinary fund ,ed investments. Under this view there has been a growing feeling throughout the day that the terms of the contract are not higher than the credit of the country demands, while it is also satisfactory to cox template the extent of the benefit conferred upon Turkey, since with all the prestige imparted to her seen ritie4 by the present loan, as well as by the mortgage of the Egyptian trihute, which constitutes her most directly available means, her unguaranteed Six per Cent. Stock is still 8 per cent. below the price at which a 4 per cent. loan has now been raised. Messrs. Palmer, Mackillop, and Co. will return the 10 per cent. deposits on their subscription lists to-mor row (this day). Messrs. Rothschild will return the surplus deposits held by them any time after 13 o'clock to-morrow (this day). The allotments of the loan were in the proportion of 20 per cent. of the amount asked for by each applicant, with the exception of a few cases, in which extraordi narily heavy sums were sought by large dealers, and in which a greater deduction was made, so as to enable the contractors to meet, in some degree, the wants of a large number of persons whose applications were individually small, but who desired to become permanent holders. A statement was circulated that the minimum price fixed for the loan by the Turkish Minister was 1001, but the sealed document in which it was contained was not opened, and it is not probable that any information was given on the subject even after the completion of the contract. Annexed is the manner in which the arrangement for the deposit and instalment now stands ; " Deposit 101. per cent., 500,0001., August 22 ; second instalment, 201. per cent., 1,000,0091., September 12 ; third instalment, 201. per cent., 1,000,0001., October 20 ; fourth instalment, 151. per cent., 750,0001., November 23; fifth instalment, 151. per cent., 750,0001., December 14 ; sixth instalment, 101. per cent., 50,0G3/., January 1, 1856; seventh instalment, 121. 12e. 6d. per cent., 631,2501., Janu ary 25. Total, 5,131,2501." GUILDHALL. An elderly man, named John Freeman, was placed at the bar before Alderman Finnic, charged with having a quantity of illicit spirits in his possession. Police-con- stable 267 stated tba't be saw the prisoner this morn ing, about half-past p o'clock, in New-street-square, Shoe-lane, with a basket in his hand. He followed him into Dean-street, and there stopped him, and asked him what he had in his basket. Tha prisoner replied gt Oh, only a little drop of stuff ; you know you won't take any notice of it." On examining the basket, the police man found it to contain two large bladders, one con taining about a gallon of coloured spirit, and the other about half a gallon of white spirit. The prisoner had rendered himself liable to a penalty not exceeding 1001. The duty on the spirit was 7s. 10d. per gallon. The prisoner said he wanted the spirits for his own use. He was fined 101., and, in default, to be committed fcr ,wo months. MANSION-HOUSE. A sailor, named Thomas Davison, was charged before the Lord Mayor with deserting from his ship, the Ocean Monarch, at Callao. Mr. J. Smith appeared for the prosecution. Captain Joseph Lawson stated that the prisoner wai one of his crew on a voyage from this country to Callao, and that during the voyage his conduct with some of the others was disgraceful, and that he had frequently to reprove him for it. On entering the harbour of Callao on a dark squally night, the captain found on letting go the anchor that the cable had been unshackled, with a view no doubt to the destruction of the ship, and not withStanding he offered a reward of 501. for the disco very of the perpetrator of so diabolical an act he was unsuccessful. Directly on the ship getting into harbour the prisoner, with 13 others of the crew, deserted, whereby the complainant had been pat to the expense of 5001. per month for two months. The prisoner had shipped on board another vessel, and received his ad ♦ance when apprehended. . . . The prisoner, in his defence, said the captain wished him to volunteer on board a znamof-war, and bad told him that if he could get away from the Ocean Monarch he might, but he would take good care he shontd. not. It was in consequence of that he left the ship. The Lord Mayor said he thought this was a case well deserving the full penalty mentioned in the act, but he should only commit him for two months to hard labour, hoping it would deter him from committing such acts for the future. James Maloney was charged with assaulting a young married female named Sarah Griffin, using abusive lan gnage, and charging her with immorality in Sun-street, Aldgate, on the 17th inst. The offence was fully proved. The prisoner denied assaulting the complainant, and said he was subject to much annoyance from her. On one occasion he had a quantity of hot water thrown on his head. Mr. Roberts, the relieving officer of the district, gave the complainant an excellent character. She had been deserted by her husband, and worked industriously to support herself, child, and mother, who was confined to her bed from ill health. The Lord Mayor fined the defendant 20a., or in de fault a fortnight's imprisonment, and ordered him to enter into his recogai4ances of 501. to keep the peace towards the complainant for six months. His Lordship thanked Mr. Roberts for the manner in which he bad spoken of her conduct, which was ex tremely creditable to her. A MOVING BOG.—We have received the following from a Dundrum correspondent: — -" Wednesday morn ing last a portion of bog, the property of Lord Norbury, at Clonkelly, and lying between Mr. John Green's, of Cappaghtnurrah, and Mr. Pallisser Wayland's, of Clon kelly, once more has taken it into its head - to move atter a lapse of 70 years.

(Prom the Times City Article of this day.) The tenders for the Turkish lean of 5,000,0001. were taken at the Bank of England this morning at 11 o'clock precisely, in the presence of M. Musurus, the Ottoman Minister, and Sir A. Spearman and M. Bandit), the re presentatives of the English and French Governments. The governor, deputy-governor, and the principal direc tors were also in attendance, with Mr. J. Freshfield as their solicitor. Among the capitalists present were Baron L. Rothschild, Sir Anthony Rothschild, M. Adolphe Rothschild, of Frankfort, Sir I. L. Goldsmtd, Mr. R. Thornton, Mr. E. H. Palmer, Mr. W. H. Mul lens, Mr. James Capel, Mr. Laurence, Mr. Cazenove, Mr. B. Cohen, Mr. L. Cohen, Mr. D. Stern, and Mr. Forman. The Governor of the Bank, in opening the proceed ings, intimated that the Turkish Minister was ready to receive tenders for the proposed loan, and that be had placed on the table a sealed paper with the minimum price to be accepted, in case the tenders should prove below the estimate made. Mr. E. H. Palmer then handed in a tender on behalf of Messrs. Palmer, Mackillop, and Co. Sir Anthony Rothschild followed with a tender on be half of Messrs. N. M. Rothschild and Sons. The Governor of the Bank then inquired if any further benders were forthcoming ? These being the only two tenders, The Turkish Minister proceeded to open them. The first he read was that of Messrs. Rothschild and Sons, as follows : " Sir,—We hereby offer for the loan of 5,000,0001. ster ling, to be issued in 4 per cent, bonds by the Imperial Ot toman Government, in conformity with the terms in the notice published by your Excellency on the 15th inst., at the rate of 1021 per cent.---say 1021. 12s. 6d. for every 1001. stock. " We have the honourito be, Sir, your Excellency's very obedient servants, " N. M. ROTHSCHILD AND SONS. " His Excellency M. de Musurus, Ambassador • from the Ottoman Porte." The next was from Messrs. Palmer, Mackillop, and Co. : " Sir, —We beg to tender for the 5,000,0001. of 4 per cent. sti:ling bonds 1001. IL. for every 1001. bond, and agree to the conditions stated in your Excellency's notice of the 15th inst. " And we have the honour to be, sir, your very obe dient servants, " PALMER, MACKILLOP, DINT, and Co." M. Musurus then declared that the tender of Messrs. Rothschild, being the most favourable, was accepted. 1 short conversation subsequently took place in rela tion to the payment of the premium, the loan for 5,000,0001. actually representing, according to the terms offered, 5,131,2501. After conference between the Go vernor of the Bank, M. Musurus, and Baron L. Roths child, it was agreed that the first instalment of 500,000/. shall be paid as already arranged, and that the premium shall be left till the last instalment. FESTIVAL OF THE THREE CHOIRS. -4 -. According to the customary rotation, the f e. the three choirs of Worcester, Hereford, and Gloucester is held this year at Hereford, and opens this day (Thee day) with full cathedral service and a sermon at Here ford cathedral. The rehearsals commenced at the cathe dral yesterday morning, and were to be finished at the Shire-hail in the evening, under the conduct of Mr. G-. Townshend Smith, who, by virtue of his office as oy g m ist of Hereford cathedral, assumes the baton through out the festival. Very few strangers attended the re hearsals, a prohibitory fee of a guinea being demanded from all—a salutary regulation which prevents unpleas antness or ini,understanding. At the last festival Hereford was without a railway, and the snorting of the " iron horse" had been unheard in her rich vales and pleasant glades ; now she enjoys the conveniences af fords'' by three lines of railway communicating north, south. ea , t, and west. The lines now opened to Here ford are the Shrewsbury and Hereford, communicating with the northern district ; the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford, running to the borders of South Wales, and to a very populous country; and the Hereford, Ross, and Gloucester Railway, by which the metropolis, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Bristol, and South Wales are reached. These will, no doubt, bring throngs of visitors to the meeting, as, in order to encourage temporary traffic, additional accommodation will be afforded to visitors at cheap rates. A. special train arrived at Here ford yesterday afternoon from London by the Great Western and Hereford, Ross, and Gloucester line, and daily special trains run from Bristol, Worcester, Chele tenham, and Gloucester at single fares for the double journey. With these temptations to travel, and a con tinuance of fine weather, one of the most successful meetings ever held at Hereford is anticipated. The object of these meetings is to maintain the charity for the relief of the widows and orphans of clergy of the three dioceses of Worcester, Hereford, and Gloucester, and the average amount derived therefrom yearly is about 9001., which is realised entirely by subscriptions at the doors of the cathedral after each mornings per of sacred music. It is rarely the case that the proceeds of the sale of tickets defray the expenses of t,h_e, festival, but any deficiency is made good by the stove , roansi; end under no circumstances whatever are the c at the cathedral doors rendered liable to the exPlanges of the meeting. At Gloucester, in 185 3 , there wag of receipts over expenditure, and th e the largest tester last year reached 1,0 241 ., wh vi T h er e can be little (with two exceptions) on record. d meeting will be doubt that the results of the Herefor olfaction.vras surpl u s at Woe— equally satisfactory. vies, Mr. J. responsibilities of the presentand Sele, Sir E. j. j The stewards who take uponthnelemesteinl7-atrheetpheecußnliagrhyt S t ye Hon. and Rev.

A rsgolution authorising the application of the sum of 200 guineas for the purpose of presenting a testimonial to Ms. Phillips, solicitor to the company, for the great. zeal, care, and attention which he bad exhibited during the protracted dispute with the leasing company, and in the original preparation of the deed of contract of 1845, was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors concluded the proceedings. three cathedral choirs and the choral societies of Here. ford, Gloucester, Worcester, and Liverpool. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings, will be devoted to sacred music at the cathedral, and there will be secular concerts at the Shire-ball on Tues day, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings. On Wednesday evening there will be a ball after the concert, and on Friday night the week's festival will be wound up by a grand full dress ball at the Shire-hall. On Tuesday morning there will be full cathedral service, and a ser mon will be preached by the Rev. W. P. Hoptos, one of the stewards of the meeting. Before the service Spohr's overture to the Last Judgment will be played by the band. The preces, responses, and chant to the Traits are by Tallis, and the psalm chant is by Mr. Smith, the conductor. The " Dettingen" It DeUM will be given as usual, but a new .Tubilate, composed by Mr. Town. shepd. Smith_ expressly for this festival, will be intro. duced. Haydn's chorus, "The Heavens are telling," from the Creation, will be the anthem, and the 98th. Mendelssohn, will preced e th e sermon . Beetla• oven's U Hallelujah Chorus," from the Mount of Olives, will close the morning service. On Wednesday morning Mendelssohn's Elijah will be given entire, Mr. Weiss having to support the arduous part of the Prophet; Mario will sing the air, "If with all your hearts," and. Miss Dolby and Madame Novello assist in the oratorio. In the second part of the oratorio Mr. Sims Reeves takes several of the tenor solos. On Thursday morning we have Mendelssohn's " Hymn of Praise," Madame Clara Novello and Mr. Sims Reeves sustaining the prin cipal vocal parts. Spohr's " Christian's Prayer " a n d Mozart's "Twelfth Service" follow. Clara Novello sings Luther's Hymn, and Mr. Sims Reeves " Sound an Alarm," from Handel's Judas Maceabows. On Friday morning we have Handel's Messiah, which is nover omitted at these festivals. The evening concerts consist of the usual miscella neous selections from the most popular works of living and deceased composers. We observe it is stated in the programmes that the proceeds of these festivals have of late years averaged to each widow 201., and to each orphan in the diocese Isl. That such institutions stand in need of immediate en couragement is unhappily too manifest from the present number of applicants —more than 25 orphans and eight widows—while the necessity of future support is equally evident from the fact that there are within the three dioceses 147 benefices having an income below 1001. per annum. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. BRISTOL AND EXETER. The report of the directors of this company states that the gross traffic receipts for the half-year ending the 30th of June last amounted to 152,4371. (including 2,6461. from the Exeter and Crediton Railway), being an in crease of 8,1571. over those of the corresponding half. year of 1854. The working expenses charged to revenue account, including those of the Exeter and Crediton and Somerset Central Railways, amounted to 81,5451., or 53.49 per cent , or 6641. per mile on 1221 miles of railway. The increase in the number of parcels conveyed was 88,679, and in the receipts for parcels 1,0511. The balance remaining disposable for dividend is 46,4771., which will provide for the usual dividend of 4i per cent. per annum on the 2,000,000/. of consolidated stock, and leave a surplus of 1,477/. To assist the Cornwall Com pany to construct their line as far as Truro, the direc tors have agreed, in conjunction with the Great Wes tern and the South Devon Companies, to guarantee the interest upon 375,0001. in debentures now in course of issue by the Cornwall Company. The lease of the Exeter and Crediton line expired ou the Ist of August, together with the agreement to supply engine power and rolling stock for working the North Devon line, and no arrangement has yet been entered into for a renewal of the lease, but in order to prevent inconvenience to the publ;o the company continue to work the Exeter and Creditou line. GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN. The half-yearly report of thedirectors, to be submitted to the meeting on Saturday next, shows that the total traffic receipts for the half-year ended the 30th of June, 1856, amount to 156,4821., against 137,1641. in the cor responding period of 1854. The net surplus revenue of this half-year is 65,6121. They recommend that out of this ssra a dividend be paid at the rate of 51. per cent. per annum, the income-tax to be paid by the proprie tors. This will leave a balance of 3,1121. to be carried to the credit of the next account ; hut the actual sur plus amounts to 6,4591,, the income-tax (3,3471.) for the previous half-year having been charged against revenue in the present account. The receipts on the Irish South- Eastern and Killarney Junction lines have been steadily increasing, and an increased dividend may be expected by the shareholders in those liues. HULL AND SELBY.. LEOMINSTER AND KINGTON. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday at Leominster, Mr. King King M.P., in the chair. The directors' report stated that the construction of the line had rapidly proceeded ; that more than four miles of the permanent rails were laid, commencing at Leominster, and that the remaining portions of the works were progressing in a satisfactory manner. The direc tors had arranged to open the line as far as Pembridge on the let of the present month, but, in deference to the wishes of several shareholders, that plan was abandoned for a time, and a portion of the works was commenced in the immediate neighbourhood of Kington. The bor rowing powers of the company having come into ope ration, the company will be enabled to take up money on loans to the extent authorised by the act. The interest upon the debentures until the opening of the line will be paid by the company, but from the opening of the line Messrs. Brassey and Field, under their con tract for seven years, will be liatile to pay the interest upon the loans, together with a dividend of 4 per cent. upon the paid-up capital. The directors considered that the cheapness of the construction of the line would insure from its traffic a good return upon the capital expended ; but they considered it must be highly satis factory to the shareholders to learn that from parties so responsible as the present contractors (Messrs. Brassey and Field) a dividend of 4 per cent. is guaranteed for the first seven yea;3, during which the traffic will not bes fuilv developed. At the end of that period the directors anticipated a more ample return for the capital laid out. The engineer's report OW that the permanent way was laid to Kingsland, `a.iists)though some unavoidable (belay had arisen, a few weeks would complete the line as far as Pembridge. The accouets showed that 19,904/. bad been received, and 13,495/. expended, besides 6,000/. deposited in the C. urt of Chancery. leaving 4191. in hand. The CHAIRMAN sail the line was progressing steadily and satisfactorily, and that there was every reason to believe it would be completed and open for traffic witbia the time originally proposed tar carrying out the under taking. After a short discussion, the usual formal resolutions were passed, as also a resolution autnorisin, , the raising of money upon debentures, and a vote of thanks to the chairaian closed the proceedings. BLACKBURN. The reporS of the directors of this company states that the position of the undertaking has become such am to - require the immediate and earnest consideration of the proprietors. The relations subsisting between this company and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company have been referred to at previous half-yearly meetings. Subsequent interviews with the Lancashire and York shire Company have, however, satisfied this board that, whatever the intentions of that company might have been when the negotiations were opened , it i s now th eir were policy not only to disavow the proposal s which sv a t a o a e d e e t t i o un u d n e i r te th tl e ie a t g iv re o em co e m ni p e a n n t ie e s r , ed bu i t nt a o ls violation of the East Lancashire and other companies, idnirectors Will their agreement with this company,.
