The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held this morning at the King's-cross Station for the reception of the directors' report. The usual routine business having been transacted, The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the directors' report, remarked that the receipts for the half-year had been seriously affected by the failure of the last harvest and the general contraction of the commerce of the country. The hon. gentleman then proceeded to refer in detail to the different subjects mentioned iu the report, which showed that the sum of £56,960 17s 10d had been disbursed on capi tal account; but of this amount £5,000 was in part pay ment of the company's subscription of £225,000 to the Gar ston and Liverpool line, and £8,082 lOs had been applied in paying off mortgages on the Witham Navigation, which the company had power to re-issue. The actual outlay for the improvement and extension of the Great Northern Railway was £43,878 7s 10d. The total receipts and payments on capital account, to the 30th of June, were as follows :—Receipts to 30th June, 1861, £11,990,711; expenditure, £11,682,803 3s sd; balance, £307,907 16s 7d; The following is an abstract of the revenue account for the half-year ending 30th June, 1861 : —Gross receipts, £650,789 2s lid; gross expenditure, £363,776 6s 9d. Balance of re ceipts over expenditure, £287,02116s 2d ; balance from pre vious half-year £965 13s 10d; due from Eastern Counties Company, as per net revenue account, No. 3, £8,400. Total revenue, £296,387 10s. Fixed charges, in cluding mortgage and debenture stock interest, and preference dividends, £206,294 3s 3d. Balance available for dividend on the original and A and B stocks, £90,093 6s. Decrease, £18,993 18s ld. The balance afforded dividend at the rate of £3 15s per cent per annum on the original stock, giving for the half-year £1 17s 6d per cent on the original stock, £3 per cent on the B stock, and 15s per cent. on the A stock ; and the directors recom mended that a dividend at these rates be declared. The balance to be carried to the next half-year's account amounted to £154 lOs 3d. After some discussion the re port was adopted. THE RING OF SWLDEN AND NORWAY. His Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway received Viscount Palmerston at dinner on Thursday evening at the residence of the Swedish Embassy, previously to visiting the Haymarket Theatre. LA TV INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Potter and a Jury.) ATTORNEYS' BILLS.-SINGULAR DEFENCE.--.-REECE AND OTHERS V. WOODMAN. This was an action to recover £l9 4s. 10d., balance of a bill of costs. Mr. Gates appeared for plaintiffs, and Mr. Miller (Mil ler, Son, and Day), of Philpot-lane, for defendant. Mr. Gates, in opening the case, said that all the work charged for had been done, and ho believed the defence would be that plaintiffs agreed to do it for costs out of pocket. Now plaintiffs were a firm of the greatest respec tability, old, and well established, and they never did busi ness upon such terms. Yesterday morning, at 9 o'clock, the King, ac companied by his brother Prince Oscar, and atten ded by the members of his suite, left the Embassy in two of the Queen's carriages and proceeded to the British Museum, where his Majesty was re ceived by M. Panizzi and the other principal offi cers of this national institution, over the whole of which, including the new library, the King was conducted. His Majesty expressed himself greatly pleased with the antiquarian collections, and devo ted especial attention to the marvellous remains re covered by Mr. Layard at Nineveh. From the Museum the King drove to St. Paul's Cathedral, where his Majesty was received by the Dean and several of the canons residentiary, by whom he was shown the various objects of interest in this mag nificent edifice. The King descended into the crypt of the cathedral, and inspected with much interest the sarcophagus containing the remains of the late Duke of Wellington, and also the tomb of our great naval hero, Nelson. On leaving the ca thedral his Majesty proceeded in the Royal car riages to Woolwich Arsenal, where the comman dant of the garrison and a brilliant staff of Ar tillery officers were in attendance to receive the illustrious visitor. The arrival of his Majesty was announced by a Royal salute fired from a field battery ; and a guard of honour composed of a company of Foot Artillery, was drawn up in front of the barracks to receive the Royal. party. After partaking of luncheon in the officers' mess room, the King was conducted through the laboratory and over the various departments of the Arsenal, including the esta blishment where the manufacture of the Armstrong gun is carried on. His Majesty was greatly inte rested here, and devoted a long time to a thorough examination of the mode of manufacture of this de structive weapon. Before taking his departure the King complimented the commandant and the officers of the Artillery upon the so:dierly appearance of their corps. His Majesty left under a second Royal salute, the band of the Royal Artillery playing the Swedish national anthem, Witnesses were called, and deposed to no such agreement having been come to. Mr. Miller said he would prove by his witnesses that such was the understanding, and he apprehended the jury would have no difficulty about the case. After witnesses had been ca led for defendant, and had deposed to such an understanding as that mentioned in the defence, The learned Secondary summed up, and pointed out to the jury that it was their duty to decide in such a conflict of testimony. The jury found for the plaintiff for the full amount. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) From the Arsenal the King proceeded to the dockyard, where, under conduct of Commodore Sir Frederick Nicholson, his Majesty embarked in a river steamboat, and proceeded up the Thames to Greenwich, where the Royal party landed and in spected the College and Chapel. Again embarking, the King steamed up the river to Waterloo-bridge, where the Queen's carriages were in attendance to convey his Majesty to Grosvenor-place. Last evening the King entertained Chevalier Tottie, Swedish and Norwegian Consul-General in London, and a party of Swedish gentlemen at din ner, at the residence of the Embassy. To-day his Majesty will take his departure, via Dover and Calais, to Lubeck, and thence to his own dominions. BOW-STREET. William Green, a lad, aged 15, was placed at the bar charged with stealing a fishing-rod. The rod in question was stolen from a shop in Hunger - ford-market, and sold by the prisoner, in presence of a wit • ness, to another boy. Magistrate—Well, what have you to say to the charge of stealing the rod ? Witness—Please your worship I didn't take the rod at all. It's a make up between the twG boys. Magistrate--But you were seen to sell the rod to the witness. Prisoner—Well, sir, I didn't steal it. I know nothing at all about it. Surely my word is as good as his. Magistrate—ls the prisoner known ? Tyrell, the gaoler, said he had been at the bar of the court before for stealing some leaden pipe. Prisoner—No, it wasn't. I was here before, certainly, but not for stealing leaden pipe. I was one of four; we were all here and were discharged. The things they said we stole was a pair of boots. Magistrate—Ts that the only time you have been in custody. A police-constable said he had been sent from Marl borough-street to prison. Prisoner—That's true; but it was for stealing half-a loaf when I was hungry. I don't live at home with my parents because they can't afford to keep me. If you will discharge me this time I will not trouble you again. I did not steal the fishing-•rod though. Magistrate—The witness swears you sold it to him, and as I am anxious to have some inquiry made about you I shall remand you for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Roor STRIPPING. — DanieI Crockford, a tall, rough-look ing fellow, who has several times been brought to this court, was charged before Mr. Yardley with stealing a quan tity of lead from the roof of the house 16, Hanover-place, Woodstock-street, the property of Miss Eleanor Slater. W. Henry Slater, brother c f the prosecutrix, said—l am an engraver, and live at 16, Hanover-place. On the 14th June I heard that the roof had been disturbed, and on going to the top of the house found that a quantity of lead had been cut from the roof, and also from the next house, No. 15. I afterwards saw the lead in the possession of the prisoner's landlord. Thomas 13 ,Hanover-place, said—Prisoner lodged with Dutton,Diln' thethme tt o o n of 14th June. A lodger told me that something was wrong about the roof. I went upstairs and saw the prisoner drop through the trap door. He said the water came in, and that he had been up to repair the roof, but instead of that I found he had cut off a quantity of lead. On returning to the house I found the prisoner had bolted. The prisoner had not been seen till last night since the robbery, and he was then given into custody. The prisoner was committed for trial, but will be again brought up. THAMES. THE WEEKLY V l SlTOR.—Elizabeth Neale, a well known utterer of base coin, was brought up on remand before Mr. Woolrych charged with uttering two counterfeit shilling and a counterfeit florin, at the King's Arms public helve, at the corner of Stepney -causeway and Brook-street, Ratcliff The thofa very singular one. On Saturday, the 27 prisoner entered the King's Arms, asked Mrs. Beauchamp, the landlady, for a gl a ss of gin and p e ppermint, which she drunk an d th en t en d ere d a s hilli ng case July, was the in payment ; Mrs. Beauchamp put the shilling into the till, and gave the prisoner qd. in change. Mr. Beauchamp, the landlord, took the shilling out of the till directly afterwards, and discovered it to be a bad one. There was no other shilling in the till on Saturday evening the 3d of August the prisoner called again, asked for a glass of gin and pepperment and again tendered a spurious shilling. She received the change as before, the base coin was put into the till in which there was no other, and Mr. Beauchamp took it out directly afterwards and dis covered it to be a counterfit one. Instant pursuit was made, but the prisoner got away. Last Saturday, the 10th inst., the prisoner again visited the King's Arms, called for her customary glass of gin and pepperment, and then offered a counterfeit florin which Mr. Beauchamp, a better judge of silver than his wife, took up and discovered the imposition directly. He gave the prisoner into custody, and on being searched by a police constable named French, No. 250 K, two good florins were found upon her. She gave her right address. The prisoner, in defence, said she knew nothing of the two shillings ; she admitted that she gave the florins to Mrs. Beauchamp, but did not know anything about the two shillings. Mr. Woolrych said that Mrs. Beauchamp on the first ex amination said she was not quite sure the prisoner was the woman who tendered her the shilling on the 27th of July. It was made to appear on the deposition that she was sure of the prisoner's identity. Mr. Bowdler said that Mr. Bellamy, from the office of the Treasury solicitor, who conducted Mint prosecutions, had taken the depositions formally in another room. Mr. Woolrych—l think the examination should take place here before me, and in the presence and hearing of the prisoner. Mr. Bowdler—Very well, sir. Mr. Bellamey has gene rally adopted the same course after the first examination of a prisoner. Mr. Woolrych—l have heard judges condemn this prat • tice a hundred times—it is quite illegal. The examinations 1.: - .ast be conducted here irr a reg u l ar manner. • Mr. BeHarney said he would adopt any cJurse the magis trate thought proper to recommend. Mrs. Beauchamp—l believe the prisoner is the woman who came on the 27th with the bad shilling. I know her by the flowers in her bonnet. My husband can swear to her most positively. Mr. Woolrych—That is another thing. Put down that Mrs. Beauchamp says " I believe the prisoner is the woman who tendered the bad shilling on the 27th of July last. The prisoner was then committed for trial. PIRATES IN THE CHINA SEAS.---HONG KONG, June 27.—Her Majesty's steamer Sphyns reports that on her passage to the North she captured two piratical junks which were attacking a lorcha. The Indianola, Captain Tideman, reports having seen a large trading junk attacked by a West Coast pirate; the attack was partially unsuo ceeeful, but the pinto) managed to let the junk on fire, THE GREAT EXHIBITION OF 1862. We stated in our yesterday's notice of the pro gress and arrangements for this great display that the classes and sub-classes of 1851 would not be fol lowed next year. In 1851 the great classes were formed by such divisions as "Animal substances used in manufactures," " Vegetable and mineral ditto;" and this arrangement was productive of endless confusion and no little dissatisfaction as well. The arbitrary distinctions of animal, vege table, and mineral of course upset all exhibitions of trades as trades. Thus, in 1851, an undertaker sent two highly-finished coffins. One was of wood and one of lead. The wooden one went into the class of vegetable substances used in manufactures, and the leaden one to the mineral class. In the same way, an exhibitor had a handsome collection of elaborate fancy snuffboxes separated through many classes, according as the boxes were horn, wood, metal, &c. Some articles, such as trunks, dressing. cases, and soon, which were made of wood, leather, and metal, all united, were of such 'a corn site character that they could not be classed under any of the great divisions, and for these and other things of the same kind a miscellaneous class was formed, which, as might be es petted under such circumstances, soon grew to be one of the largest and most interesting in the building. In 1855 the French tried following the same rule, with certain philosophical distinctions as to the uses of the articles exhibited, which male the con fusion ten times worse. Thus, under these subtle distinctions, "walking-sticks and horsewhips" came to be classed as " machines for aiding direct motion," and were accordingly ordered to be put among the locomotives. The English and other foreigners, being very obedient, sent their sticks and whips to the machinery as they were told. The French, however, who saw how absurd was the classing, did not comply, but put their sticks and whips in their proper place. From this, however, the officials expelled them, and after they had been hustled through half the classes in the building, these " machines for aiding direct mo tion" at last found rest, and refuge among what we may call machines for impeding direct motion— namely, the subclass devoted to the exhibition of ladies' stays and corsets. Of course, such arrange ments gave no satisfaction either in '5l or '55, and the exhibitors justly complained of not being able to display their things together in classes of trades. The great division of animal, mineral, and vegetable classes are still, to a certain ex tent, to be followed next year, but within these are sub-classes in which all the trades will ex hibit as trades. To facilitate this trade classi fication, a trades' list has been compiled from the trades' lists of all the principal towns in the United Kingdom, and it makes an extraordinary catalogue. For instance, to make a complete watch it is found that the co-operation of no less than 46 distinct trades are necessary, each of which only makes certain special component parts of the works or case. These trades have their own rules and apprentices, and are as perfecti.y distinct from each other as the trades of tailors and shoe makers. It is these distinct trades as trades, that the Commissioners specially wish to have as exhi bitors, and by so doing the trades themselves will gain advantages in the distribution of prizes. It is not now premature to say that it has been in fact decided that there is to be a medal awarded next year to each of the best exhibitors in the various classes and sub-classes. This will be a plain bronze Council medal, somewhat similar to that in 1851. There will be no other award than this, "honour able mention" being wisely done away with. The juries to distribute these medals will be formed as follows :—There will in all be nearly 100 classes and sub-classes. Every sub-class having more than five exhibitors will be entitled to claim a jury of three persons for awarding medals. Each exhibitor will have a right to name a juryman, and out of the names so returned the Royal Commis sioners will select three whose decisions will be final. No juryman can award himself a medal in his own class, but, of course, any one selected as a juryman can decline the office on the ground that he prefers competing for the medal, as the late Mr. Minton did in 1851. Foreigners will be allowed to choose a foreign jury, and the number of medals to be awarded to each class and sub-class will, of course, be limited, though the limit has not yet been determined on.—Tinzes. THE NEW AGRICULTURAL HALL AT ISLINGTON. —The directors of the company formed for the construction of a hall at Islington, for holding the shows of the Smith field Club and other purposes, have accepted the tender of Messrs. Hill and Co., builders, of Whitechapel, amounting to £24,980, and the contract provides that the works shall be completed by the end of June next. The new building will be constructed from the design of Mr. Frederick Pack, of Maidstone, and will form a handsome embellishment to the northern part of the metropolis. The site is at a conve nient distance from the Cit), an l equally so from the prin cipal railway termini, with which, indeed, it may be said to be brought into immediate contiguity by means of the North London Railway. We also understand that an agree ment has been entered into by the company for the purchase of some additional land as frontage, so that the main en trance to the hall—and ii is to Lai o /JUL.—Will b oproFite the statue and fountain about to be erected to the memory of the renowned Sir Hugh Myddleton. THE HARVEST IN ESSEX.—COLCHESTER, Aug. 16.—Notwithstanding the intense heat during the early part of the week, which rendered outdoor occupations almost impossible, the harvest was vigorously prosecuted, and a large breadth of wheat and other corn was cut and carted in fine condition. Indeed, the quality of this year's wheat exceeds that of many previous years, but it is now generally admitted that the yield will fall short of an ave rage. This day a change took place in the weather; the rain descended in torrents during the morning, completely suspending harvest operations, and there is every appear ance of its continuance. Sufficient, however, has not yet fallen to injure the corn which is cut, while it has proved invaluable to the green crops, which began to ail for the Ink of moisture, WILLS AND BEQUESTS. , The will of Lady Forbes, relict of Sir Charles Forbes, Bart., of Newe and Edinglassie, was proved in London on the 23d of July ; it bears date January 16, 1858, and there are two codicils, added in 1859. The executors appointed are the testatrix's daughter, Miss Elizabeth Constable Ashburner, and Alexan der Nesbitt Shaw, Esq., late of the Bombay Civil Service. Her ladyship's personal property was sworn under £14,000 ; this, together with the property under settlement, she leaves amongst her family by her late husband, Sir Charles, and her former husband, Mr. Ashburner, her ladyship having been twice married, and has appointed her son, James Stewart Forbes, Esq., and her daughter, Miss Katherine Stewart Forbes, residuary legatees. Lady Forbes has left to the poor of three parishes—two in Scotland, and one in London--legacies of £5O each.—The will of Rear Admiral the Hon. Frederick Thomas Pelham, C 8., of the Admiralty, and Eccleston-square, Pimlico, was proved in the principal registry on the 22d of last month by his relict, sole executrix. The personalty was sworn under £14,000. The will bears date so far back as 1847, and was attested by Captains W. H. Henderson and G. T. Gordon. It is very brief, the admiral disposing of the whole of his personal property to his relict absolutely. Admiral Pelham died in June at the age of 52.—Tire will of Lieutenant General Joseph Harris, of her Ma jesty's Indian army and of the Oriental Club, was proved in the London Court on the Bth inst. by the executors, Oriel Viveash, Esq., Colonel W. F. Grant, and Robert Collum, Esq.,. M.D., th e per sonalty being sworn under 110,000. General Harris having only one child, a daughter of very tender years, has bequeathed all his property, real and personal, in trust ; and has appointed the exe cutors nominated in his will trustees and guardia ns to manage th e p ro p er ty l e ft to her until she attains the age of 21, or on her marriage. In the event of her decease previously, the general has then di rected the p roperty to pass to h i s two grand-nieces. There are legacies to his executors, and to a female servant; and there are some articles of jewellery which the general has left to the care of the trustees to deli ver to hi s daughter w h en more advanced in life.—lllustrated News. THE DEATH OF MR. CASAMAJOB. (From the Lancet.) Mr. Casamajor, the celebrated sculler and able conductor of the aquatic department of The Field, died suddenly on the night (.f Tuesday, the 6th inst. Previous to his rowing for the diamond sculls at Henley this summer he had been suffering from an attack of rhematism. Contrary to the advice of his friends he entered into the contest, and it is natural to conclude that the rupture of the blood vessel from which he died was consequent upon his exertions on that occasion. Friendly as we are to athletic sports, this lamentable case suggests some reflections upon the evils which must occasionally arise from undue and prolonged physical exertion. No doubt the rheumatic attack of wnich Mr. Casa m jor had been the subject rendered him especially liable to the mischief which occurred. But his is not a solitary case ; men in the prime of life, healthy and vigorous, have on many occasions irretrievably ruined themselves by intense and unnatural bodily exertion. The strain up m the vascular system during a prolonged and ardent struggle is so great that the astonisment is, not that fatal accidents occur, but that they happen so comparatively sel dom. We say "so seldom," but we believe that injuries of a permanent though not of a fatal character occur much more frequently than is recorded. Cases constantly come under the notice of the medical practitioner of impaired health and of persistent dieease consequent upon overstrained bodily exertion. The call upon the powers of endurance has been such that healthy reaction could not take place, and, like the overbent bow, the human body has remained in a state of impaired power, It is well known that some of our celebrated posture masters, clowns, and harlequins have become prematurely old and ciecrepid as the results of the exercise of their calling. The athletic frame of the late Mr. Liston broke down in its prime from the great physical exertion that he underwent. He died from a disease which was fairly traceable to his steeple. chases on foot, in which he distanced all competitors in his early morning scampers over the fields and hills in the neighbourhood of London. The evil effects resulting from overworking the brain are the theme of constant observation. How many a word of warning and of comment is recorded when a statesman like Sidney Herbert sinks in the zenith of his career from the overwork which he has undergone. Such comments and warnings are equally applicable to those cases in which the body becomes shattered by overtasking the mere physical powers. In the present day of excitement and over-exertion of the powers of both body and mind, a word in sea son cannot be out of piece. There is a fierce struggle going on. Competition is everywhere. We work as though the powers of the human sys tem were inexhaustible. We travel for pleasure as if the amount of labour we undergo is to be regarded as the measure of our enjoyment Thou sands in this great city spend many anxious hours in their daily pursuits, then hurry off by rail ways long distances into the country, snatch a few hours of repose in the pure air of a rural district, and hurry off again in the morning, anxious and excited, to catch the early train that brings them again to the scene of their labours. The excite ment goes on and is daily increasing; and yet we have occasionally sad warnings of the dangers of the overwork. Men fall dead from heart-disease after a hurried journey to the station, and medical practitioners are acquainted with a serious class of maladies which have sprung up as the conse quence of this overstraining of the faculties. Cases like that of the lamented Mr Casamajor stand out in prominence from a host of others; but there are innumerable shades in the picture gradually shadowing off from the dark regions of death to disease in a vast variety of forms. It would be well if we could gather something like experience from such facts, but the voice of warning falls too frequently on unwilling or unheeding ears. T.HE WEATHER.

EXECUTION OF THE LLKESTON MURDERER.- Yesterday, at noon, George Smith, aged 20, was executed in front of Derby Gaol for the murder of his father. When condemned, on the 29th of July last, he left the dock as serting his innocence, and saying that he should proclaim it on the day of his execution . On the Ist of this month, however, he made a written confession of his guilt. Since then his mind has been considerably relieved, and he has assured several of the prisoners whose acquaintance he has made in gaol of his confidence that he was going to a place of happiness. He enjoyed his meals, slept soundly, and gained in weight. The ;crowd at the execution was very large. At an early hour in the morning the country people began to pour in in carts, waggons and all kinds of vehicles, It 7. - ns estimatpd that by the time fixed for the execution there wera not less than 20,000 persons prescnt. The cul prit, as soon as he got to the drop, fell on his knees, and clasping his hands together, in a loud voice, offered up a prayer to Almighty God to have mercy on his soul. Ile then rose, and, looking steadily at the dense crowd, said " Good by, my friends, good by I" Dv ing the prayer many persons who surrounded the scaff , :ad evinced great emotion. Ten minutes elapsed after the bolt was drawn before life was extinct. CHURCH BUILDING.—Mr. J. W. Brooke, of Sib ton, has rebuilt at his own cost a church in Suffolk. A gen tleman at Louth has offered £l,OOO for a new church in that borough; Mr. 0. E. Coope has given a similar sum to a new district church at Ronaford ; and at Norwich an anonymous contributor has haaded £5 .0 to the bui ldin g fund of a church just coaseorated in the suburb of licigtam) in that city, A NEW ANXSTHETIC. We learn from the Medical Times and Gazett e that a new anmsthetic has been brought to the notice of the profession at Boston. For the prese nt it is called kerosolene, and it is found in the distil ha tion of the kerosene oil from the Albert coal. It comes among the first products of the distillation, and in large quantities. Professor H. J. Bigelow, who has been testing its value for anmsthetic pur poses, gives the following account of it :—" This fluid presents remarkable properties. It is taste less es water, volatil e an d i n fl amma bl e as ether, though burning with a dense white light; of a faint chloroformwhich, as it ev ap ora t es , c h anges to tar, and th en disappears that of o c d o o a u l r, , abso lately and altogether; so th at a handkerchief satu rated with the fluid has, at the end of a few minutes, when dry, no odor at all, nor h as the room or i atmosphere where t has been used any trace of ' its presence. Both ether and chloroform leave, in dif ferent degrees, a persistent, fade, and stale aroma after evaporation, as is well known. T hey are also far less agreeable to inhale than thi s new ag-ent, which has thus an obvious advantage over e i ther of them. A few whiffs were sufficient assurance of its efficacy as an anmsthetic, which, with its oth er qualities, as I ventured to remark, would place th e kerosolene beyond any known anmsthetic, p ro _ vided its use was not followed by headache, ver tigo, or other unpleasant symptoms, and provided it should prove as free from danger as ether. Sub sequently, I inhaled the new vapour, which Dr. Hodges at my request administered. Com plete insensibility supervened, lasting several minutes, with some diminution of the volume of the pulse. Its effect was wholly agreeable, leaving neither headache nor nausea, nor bad taste." After describing three cases in which he has used it, in termitting pulse and partial asphyxia having been produced, he says :—" In conclusion, it may be re marked of these three cases, that they are insuffi cient for satisfactory demonstration, and that their common and unfavourable symptoms may well have been but a coincidence; yet they suggest some cau tion in the use of the kerosolene vapour. It is pro bably more potent than that of ether, requires a free admixture of air, and may produce upon the system some impression of influence other than that of the mere intoxication attendant upon the use of ether. In awaiting further ev id ence it may b e cons id ered established that kerosolene is an anmsthetic of un doubted efficacy, and that it possesses certain re markable and attractive properties peculiar to itself." THE GREAT FIRE IN TOOLEY-ST.REET ENORMOUS SAL VAGE. Up to last night, the men employed by Messrs. Toplis and Harding, the firm . entrusted to w or k the ruins of the two fires out (am. that at Scovell's wharf and that at Davis's-wharf, Tooley-sti ect), had been successful in removing from each wharf an amount of property that could be scarcely credited, unless seen. At Davis's-wharf, when and d the t h e e xcellent fire engineerr e the sun is h o t, t h e sur f ace o f t h e h eaps o f j u t e has Tozer, a beenr not yet turned o ver b ecomes i gn it e d ; but, arrangements r m e3 e vi n ern t . s t Fe ifmofor Mr. Foreman J. owing George p . Gerrard,t extending beyond the surface of the bales. It is confidently expected that. in the course of a few days more, the whole of the j ute w i ll be removed from Davis's wharf, which, when sold, will realise something considerable for the insurance offices interested, as each bale numbered 3 is worth £2 15s. ; each marked No. 4 is worth in the market £2 ss. The Manilla, in its present state, has been assessed at about 355. per cwt). or £2 los. per bale. Taking into consideration that over 500 tons weight of those articles have already been extricated, th e whole, when put up by auction, will realise many thousand pounds. At Cotton's, the depot, Scovc.ll's and Hay's wharves, not less than 100 tons weight of cotton has since our last notice been got out, only slightly damaged, nearly 2,000 bags of rice, and immense heaps, some certainly greatly burned, and only fit for manure. The quantity of grease recovered is enormous, amounting to several hundred tons weight ; the piles of jute also recovered are so ex tensive that they laave been obliged to be ware housed in different buildings in the neighbourhood. Some hundreds tons of bagging, turmeric, salt petre, salted hides, skins and pieces, catch, tea, cheese, and drugs have also been got oat of the various ruins, and many hundred tons of black lead. Mr. Stevens, of Hackney Wick, one of the largest buyers of grease and flour, started off three ship loads of grease to the West of England yesterday. The ironwork, such as columns, beams, and ties, that has already been got out would cover if stretched out some acres of land. This will also be sold by Messrs. Toplis and Harding.. A large strong room by John Tann and Son of Walbrook, paten tees of the reliance fire-resisting safe, upon being opened by Mr. GLorge, was found to contain, in a perfect state, the whole of the documents, coin, notes, and warrants, of considerable value to the parties interested. Over 1,000 tierces of provisions more have been got out of Scovell's Wharf and housed in Messrs. Zourest's arches, the Maze, Tooley-street, the greater portion being in prime condition and fit for human food. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. COVENT GARDEN.
