RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. SOUTH-EASTERN. T. directors of tbie company will recommend to the proprietors, at the ensuing haltyearly meeting, to declare • dividend of Bs. 6d. per 30t. per share. ANDNEGATE, NOTTINGHAM, AND BOSTON. The half-yearly meeting of this compaay was held yes terday at Grantham ; Mr. Wyles occupied the chair. Mr. Gough, the secretary, read the report. The CLUBMAN said, that during the last session of Parliament the company had applied for and obtained three different bills, all of which had been previously sanctioned by meetings of the proprietors, and were fully described in the report. The directors believed that is obtaining these acts, and thus forming a main line to Nottingham, they would serve the inte rests of the public better than by continuing their arrangement with the Midland Company. The in grease of 5,0001. upon the receipts of the last half year had been accompanied by a small additional charge for working expenses, but those exoenses had been kept down as much as possible. Be then moved the adop tion of the resort. Mr. BEABELEY seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. SMYTHE moved that P. dividend of 2i ! per cent. per annum be paid on the capital of the company, the same to be payable on the 18th of September next. Mr. GEE, of Nottingham, seconded the resolution, which was carried nem. can. The resolution for cancelling the shares having been agreed to, The meeting was made special, when resolutions were passed confirming the forfeiture of the shares and ap proving the issue by the board on behalf of the company t o f mortgages or debentures for the sum of 86 250/t° the proprietors of the Grantham Canal Navigation, and for the sum of 87,5001. to the proprietors of the Not ts tingham Canal, comformably to the agreements entered into with the company for that purpose. Thanks to the chairman con c l u d e d the proceedings. NORTHERN COUNTIES UNION: The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday, at the London Tavern—Mr. Middleton in the chair. The report, which was unanimously adopted, stated that the directors had had an interview with a deputa tion from the committee appointed by the shareholders at the last meeting ; and they had also had a report from a committee appointed by the board to inspect the unfinished works of the Northern Counties - Union line, and it appeared to the directors that the most expedient course would be to await an opportunity of selling this line in its present state to one or other of the companies who are, or may become, interested in the locality, and that the directors should be empowered to obtain an Act of Parliament authorising such sale, and thereby practi cally to wind up the affairs of the company, an event which the directors consider is greatly to be desired asmuch as it would enable them finally to close the ac counts of the company, and to divide the available balance. The balance-sheet showed a balance in band of 10,6011. Resolutions were unanimously passed authorising the directors to enter into agreements for the sale or other wise of the Wath Branch, and to go to Parliament for power to sell the undertaking, and for such other powers as the directors might require ; and requesting the directors to have the report of the committee and Mr. Harrison's statement printed and circulated among the proprietors. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. HEREFORD, ROSS, AND GLOCESTER. The half•yearly meeting of this company was held at Hereford. on Tuesday, Lieutenant-Colonel Vaughan, the chairman of the company, presiding. The report stated that since the meeting in February last, the directors bad exerted themselves in every pos sible way to stimulate an active progress of the works on the whole line, and they entertained a very sanguine hope of being able at the present time to announce with positive certainty the day for the opening. The bill promoted in the last session of Parliament by the Shrewsbury and Hereford Company, which, among other provisions, gave power to that company, in conjunction with the Hereford, Ross, and Glocester, to provide joint station accommodation at Hereford, had received the Royal assent on the 10th of July last. In that act this company is empowered .to raise an additional capital of 30,0001., either, by ordinary shares or by shares bearing a preference or guarantees not exceeding 5 per cent. per annum. The state of the company's finances render it desirable that the power thus given should be exercised, and as in the Rresent state of railway and monetary affairs, it is not to be expected that ordinary shares would readily be taken up, the only alternative is to issue the shares with the preference or guarantee which the act of Parliament authorises. A special meeting would be' held on 'the 13th of September to consider the question. The report ' expressed the utmost confidence that, when the entire line was opened b it would yield a very satisfactory 're ' muneration for the capital employed in it. The CRAMS/ AN expressed his belief that the line - would be opened throughout in the space of ten or twelve weeks. The report was unanimously affirmed, and the meeting adjourned until the 13th of September. LANCASTER AND CARLISLE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at Lancaster, Mr. E. W. Hasell in the chair. The report stated that the balance from the last ac count was' 4,0431., which, added to the receipts, amounted to 88,9061., out of which the directors recom mend a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum; which, with the proportion payable to the Lancaster and Preston Railway Company, and the interest on loans, would require 87,9741., and 1,0001. carried to the re newal fund, which leaves 1121. The present dividend of 8 per cent. absorbs as much, within 6661., as was re quired to pay 8/ per cent. on the capital in March last, owing to the dividend now paid on the new third shares. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the shareholders on the improving position of their line, and moved the adoption of the report. Mr. H. HOWARD seconded the motion. - The report was adopted, and a dividend of 8 per cent. was declared. Mr. Howard and Colonel Maclean were re-elected directors. A. vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro = •ceedings. SOUTH YORKSHIRE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Sheffield yesterday ; Dr. Dymond in the chair. The Secretary read the report, and the Chairman moved its adoption. Mr. IRoNRIDI inquired whether the Blackburn Valley branch would be opened for passengers as well as for coal traffic, and when 1 The CHAIRMAN replied that it would be opened for both on Monday next. Mr. IRONED!! hoped they would give every company the privilege of working over the line, that Sheffield might be better supplied with coals. The report was adopted unanimously, as also were resolutions declaring the dividend for the half-year. ♦ftef some observations, the arrangements with the Great Northern specified in the report were adopted. A ♦ote of thanks to the chairman concluded the business. MANCHESTER, BUXTON, AND MIDLANDS. The half yearly meeting of this company was held at Derby yesterday ; Sir Joseph Paxton presiding. The report stated that the half-year's rent, amounting to 5,2661., had been received from the lessees, and the directors proposed to pay the usual dividend of ls. 4d. per share for the half-year. During the last session of Parliament an act had been obtained by a company in corporated as the Stockport, Disley, and Whaley-bridge Company, for constructing a line of railway of about 10 miles, and passing over the same ground as the line for which this company obtained Parliamentary powers. A dividend of ls. 4d. per share was then declared, and the election . of Mr. Condell, as director, confirmed. A vote of thanks was then passed to the chairman and direetors, and the meeting separated. DEAN FOREST. The Bubo Pill, or Dean Forest Railway, a mineral line, extending from the river Severn at Bulk Pill into the mineral district of the Forest of Dean, has been opened for public traffic. This line also forms a branch of the South Wales Railway, by which coal can be brought upon that line, and carried thence to Glocester, Cheltenham, Swindon, and the metropolis, via the Great Western Railway.

While she was so employed at the house of a lady. a note was taken to her by a ragged boy to meet a man called Pearce, with whom she was familiar, in what was called " the Lover's W.,1k." She aclord inJy did .o, a,,d was taken away in a cart, on the pre tence that she was gain; to a pie dc, but nothing was heard o f her till a few days since, when her faind% die covered her at the Ft td way Station Tavern, B ttli, where she and Pearce had been living together as man arid wife for several months. Her fattier and brother went there to her, and persuaded her to leave; but the landlord in t,rtered, sayng that she was of the Queen's a c e, and could not be molestel. He also struck her brother.

Cox in the chair, when the question of the brokerage on sugar came under consideration. The total import of sugar into Liverpool in 1853 was stated to be 66,500 tons, of which 41.000 tons were colonial, arid 25,500 tons foreign (of the bonded v-lne 61 . 1.330 0001.). the brokerage on which, at one half per cent, on the duty paid price (valuing the firmer at 225. and the latter at 20s, per cwt ), amounted to 9 110/. gross. Presuming the s tom quantity of sugar to be sold at the hooded price, the amount of brok« rage thereon, at one-half per ceot.. would lie 6,6501 A resolution to the following effeet was adopted unati . nionsly : That a brokerage of one half per cent. upon the nond‘ d prieti is n a lecpiate to the •ervice perforn.vd, and to the expenses indispensably attendant upon the management aid sale ; and hat a deputation from this mesh , g shall wait upon the chair men of the different asso iation. intete-ted, to -pro po-e tlia+ for the future the following rates of broker strs, on the stale of sugar shall be allowed :—Eitber oi.e. half ner c. nt. on only paid pr ce. or three•qw , rtrr. *ter cent. oil the Ilin(led price, aid one half per Bent. on the short price of till floati,g cargoes. And that a copy of these procettlinz. be transmitted to all the importers of sTu!.,util:s sugar.

Mr. YuTux seconded the motion, which was unaai arkonely agreed to. After some other business, the meeting separated. CORN. AND YOUGHAL. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Wednesday, at the K ings Arms, Weltininster ; Lieute nant-General Sir J. Thackwell in the chair. The report s tated, that since the last half-yearly meet ing such a chariot has been effected in the direction of the company as to place the management of the affairs in the hands of those interested in carrying out the more limited project then resolved on. The directors were enabled, by the abandonment of the branch to Ferinoy, to extinguish the sum of 19,9531., which would have been entitled to participate in future divide' d:. The sum of 1/. 10s. has been paid on the shares, and the remain der, 81. 10s., is liable to be called up. With the view of providing for the steady progress of the undertaking, a call of 11. per share has been made, payable on the Ist of October next. Proposals from Messrs. Fox and Hen derson for completing the line are under the considera tion of Mr. Brunel, the engineer. The estimated balance in band is 3,7001. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, and re electing the retiring directors. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHPORT. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Wednesday afternoon ; but as all its accounts are em braced in the report of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company, with which it is incorporated, the proceedings created no interest. They have only power to ♦ote such dividend as the other company shall determine to make, and they agreed, pro forma and by anticipation, to take such dividend. CORNWALL. The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at Truro, on Wednesday. The re port stated that the works from Truro to St. Austell were nearly ready for the permanent way, and the other works on different parts of the line were far advanced. The manner in which the last call had been paid up was a source of congratulation, and there were no outstand ing accounts unsettled. The amount received during the six months ending the 30th of June, including the former half-year's balance, was 125 , 6371. 13s. 5d., and the ex penditure 132,525 1. Os. 9d., leaving a balance due from the company at that date of 6,8871. 7s. 4d. Out of the 64 miles of their line of railway, about 27 were com pleted. The report was adopted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—C olwell George Colwell, alias Lord Colville, charged with having stolen a coat and horse-rug from W. A. Goodbody, was brought up fur re-examination. The prosecutor, it will be recollected; said that when he took the coat and the horse-rug to the public-house in Cornbill, where the prisoner was addressed as Lord Col ville, he placed the parcel upon the table, and upon his return to the room after a momentary absence the goods and his lordship had disappeared, and three persons who had been there in company with his lordship remained in the room. A cross-examination of the witness was rigidly undertaken by the solicitors for the prisoner, when the minutes of the last proceedings were read over by Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk. There wereseveral persons in the justiceroom who were anxious to make communications respecting the Lord Col ville at the bar, but it did not appear that there was any testimony amongst those present likely to affect him as to personal restraint. Time prisoner's solicitors boat contended that there was no legal ifround for committing their client for trial. Alderman Carter—My strong impression is that guilt attaches to the prisoner, but there has been tio proof hrooght forward to show that the goods were taken by him from the public-hom.e, to which Mr. Goodbody con veyed them by his direction. I caution the prison-r now as to his future conduct. Ido not, entertain the slightest doubt of his guilt, but it is out of my power, legally, to detain him longer. The prisoner then bounded downstairs from the bar, to the evident regret of several of the spectators, in the justice room. BOW-STREET.—One of the directors of the Catholic Law and General Life Assurance Company waited upon Mr. nail to explain the reason why they had refused the claim of an old man who had complained to his wor chip, on Monday, of being `• baffled" out of his money. The simple facts were that the man's wife had insured her fife for a few pounds, stating her age to be 45. About 18 months afterwards she died, and when the husband produced the certificate of her death in support of his claim, it appeared that she was 65. It being obvious, therefore, that a fraud had been attempted upon the society, they refused to pay the amount claimed; but they had consented to return the old man all the money which had ever been paid to the society. Mr. Hall considered that the company had acted very handsomely under the circumstances. SOIITHWARS.—Yesterday was appointed for the settleirient of the dispute between the Citizen Steam boat Company, who attempted to place a floating pier on the Eastern Surrey side of London-bridge, the har bour-master of the Port of London, and Messrs. Fen ning, wharfingers. The summonses were taken out by Mr. J.tmes Tucker, assistant. harbour-master, against Mr. Thomas Pillow, lighterman, of Tooley street, for unlawfully mooring a barge, called the Camel, in the inshore passage of the River Thames, so as to ob struct the free transit of vessels in the said river, on the 23d and 24th ult. Mr. Pullen, instructed by Mr. Corner, appeared for Mr. Pillow and Messrs. Fenning ; and Mr.e Stutchbury, from the office of the City Solicitor, appeared to prose cute the charges. The latter gentleman stated that the present charges were made under the 21st section of the bye-laws passed in 1851, and sanctioned by the Lord Chief Justice, for the government of the harbour-master of the port of London, which rendered the parties so offending liable to a penalty of Si. The section set forth that no vessel should be moored in the inshore passages, &c., on the River Thames, so as to obstruct the free transit of vei sels in the sail river, &e. Now, on the 23d and 24th ultimo, the defendant, Mr. Pillow, moored, or caused to be moored, a barge called the Camel across the stairs on the east side of London-bridge, adjoining Fenning's wharf, so as to obstruct the free navigation of all ve , eels, and preventing the landing passengers from boats that may want to use those stairs. He was therefore guilty of the offence imputed to him, and it would be for his worship, after hearing all the evidence, to inflict what ever penalty he might think fit. Witnesses were then called, who deposed to the exist ence of the obstruction on ,the day named. They were cross-examined to show that the passage of the river VMS not impeded. Mr. Pullen then submitted to the court that there was no proof of obstructing, and asked him to dismiss the summons at once. The object of the Act of Parlia ment and the bye-laws was that a free channel shall be kept in the River Thames, and it had nothing whatever to do between high and luw-water mark. Mr. Combe, in. giving judgment, said the case was quite clear, and it was a waste of time to come to him. The simple question is whether the free transit of the river was clear, and that an obstruction had taken place. The place had been measured, and all admitted the oh struction, and, no doubt, the transit of the river was blocked up. The stairs and that part were the public ways, and must be kept clear. If a pier were to be erected or placed there it would be a greater obstruc tion, but the harbour master could take it down and remove it, as he might have done in this case. There fore I think a nominal sum will do to meet the case. and prevent any further aggression by any party. I shall fine the defendant in the mitigated penalty of 20s. and costs, and I hope the harbour master will do his duty should another obstruction be attempted, and that the peace of the neighbourhood be not disturbed. Ae The fine and costs was immediately paid, and Mr. Has'lewood declared, notwithstanding his worship's opinion, it was their intention to construct the pier. He had the authority of the Lord Mayor, and that was enough. Mr. Combe--You must not commit a breach of the peace, and I have no doubt the harbour master will do his duty. EDMONTON. —Yesterday Mr. James Bruce, licensed victualler and proprietor of the Two Brewers, Tanner's end, Enfield, appeared before Messrs. Bush (chairman), and James Meyer, magistrates of this division, to a summons taken out against him by Sergeant Barber, acting inspector of the district, for having permitted per sons in his house between the hours of half-past two and six o'clock of th e afternoon of Sunday, the 27th ult., contrary to the statute. In answer to the bench, the sergeant stated that the persons were all strangers to him. Mr. Norton, for his client, observed that his defence was that the persons in the defendant's house wore bona fide travellers, within the meaning of the act, as he would be able to prove that they all came from London. One of the four who were on the premises proved that they all came from London. wereendeavour The Chairm an o b serve d th a t the bench decided they travellers, and he remarked that the police ought to n . travellers. 1 1 The summons was dismissed.

Newton 'was brought up from Horsemonger-lane gaol, and his brother attended in discharge of his heavy recognisance% to be further ex amined, at Lambeth Police-court, on a charge of com mitting a murderous assault on the person of Mr. Stewart Ker, a gentleman residing at No. 56, Brampton crescent, Brompton-square, at the Beulah Spa, Nor wood, on Friday, the 4th of last month. Mr. Parry, the barrister, and Mr. Wontner appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Dein tS for the defence. Mr. Parry, addressing the Hon. G. C. Norton (who sat for Mr. Elliott), said he appeared on behalf of the prosecution, and begged to observe that he did not desire or did not intend to go into any of the particulars on the day, as the unfortunate gentleman who had been so seriously injured was unable to attend, nor was it pos sible for him for some time to be present to give his evidence. He (Mr. Parry) was, however, happy to say —happy on account of Mr. Ker himself, and happy also on account of the young gentlemen who were the de fendants in this serious charger, and whose anxiety, as well as those of their friends, must have been very con siderable for the last four weeks—that a favourable change had taken place in the hitherto serious state of Mr. Ker, and that there was now a hope that, if he con tinued to progress favourably, he would recover ; but, as he had before said, it would be some considerable time, under the most favourablecircumstances, before he would be in a condition to attend and give his evidence. He (elr. Parry) should merely read the certificate of the medical gentlemen in attendance upon Mr. Ker, and leave the case, as regarded the future appearance of the defendants, in the hands of his worship. The learned gentleman, in conclusion, read the certificate he alluded to, of which the following is a copy : " August 30, 1854. " We certify that we have visited Mr. Stewart Ker this day. His symptoms have assumed a more favourable cha racter; and, should no untoward events arise, them is reasonable hope of his ultimate recovery. (Signed) HENRY CHARLES JOHNSON. JOHN STANLEY CHRISTIAN. " 56, Brompton-crescent." Mr. Norton was happy to find that afavourable change had taken place, and that there was a reasonable hope of his recovery ; and, as regarded the accused parties, he did not think he could legally receive bail for their ap pearance, at the present stage of the inquiry, beyond a week. Had the case been originally heard by him the question of bail would have been easily settled, as he cer tainly should not take bail ; but acting for Mr. Elliott, and the gentleman appearing for the prosecution having no objection to the admittance of Mr. Francis Newton to bail as well as his brother, he should call on the former to put in bail—two sureties in 5001. each, and himself in 1,0001., and the latter, himself in 5001., and two sureties in 2501. each, to appear at this court on that day month. Sir Robert Price, M.P. for Hereford, offered to become the surety for William Newton for 5001:, and for his brother in 5001. more, so that the latter would have to procure a second surety for 5001. more. Here, how ever, a difficulty arose, as Mr. Norton at first stated he could not take bail for any period beyond a week, when Sir R. Price declared that it was quite impossible be could come to town next week a distance of nearly 200 miles to renew the bail. His hail was, however, taken for a week, and the friends of the prisoner said they should be prepared by that time with other sureties, and therefore should not trouble the hon. member. SPORTING IN TEL ral; ENCE. TATTERS'ALL'S-YESTERDAY. Many members having proceeded from Derby to the meeting at Lincoln; the room was thinly attended, and very little business was transacted. The principal bets were in reference to the St. Leger. At the commencement 200 to 100 was laid against Boiardo, the layer offering to go on to some ►coney, or to take sto 2. At this point the favourite stood still until -owe quarter of an hOur after the lave' had left the room, when two or three of the favourite's adherents took counsel together, and checked for a time the 2 to 1 ►nnvement, by investing, in the aggregate, about 1501 at 7to 4. In the course of the afternoon the Trapper advanced to 5 to 1 (taken) ; and a strong indisposit►on was manifested to back Midsummer. 7to 1 was taken to a small sum about Acrobat, 25 to 1 laid to 751. against Scythian, and 1,000 to 30 against Hannibal. The betting on the other events named below was on a very limited scale. CLOSING PRICES. LEAMINGTON STAKES. Bto 1 agst Baalbec (taken). Bto 1 agst Haco (taken). 10 to 1 agst Lurley (taken). ST.

DONCASTER RACES.—These races, which will com mence on the 12th inst., promises abundant sport, the entries being excellent, and the amount of added money unusually large-1,600 guineas. Applications for lodg ings have not been made so early as in former years, but within the last day or two numerous engagements have been made and every post is adding to the number. There will, doubtless, be a falling off in one class of visitors at the approaching meeting ; we mean the military turfuten. so many of whom are en gaged abroad; but the quickening of harveit operations . by the present splendid weather, the increased facilities of railway communication, and the attractions of au " open" Leger will doubtless have their effect upon the attendance, which in point of bulk will not prob..bly be inferior to what it has been of late years. Considerable alterations are now being effected in the interior of the grand stand, and some additional accommodation is bring made in the enclosure in front of that building, both of *which improvements sill tend to prevent much of that over-crowding and confusion which usually take place immediately after the decision of the more important events of the week. The Electric Telegraph Company will have a direct communication with all parts of the country from their office in the clerk of the course's stand.

Partridges are very strong, and the coveys are large—fourteen to twenty in a covey. This is attributed to two causes—the scarcity of last season leading gentlemen to abstain from shooting, and the unusual favourable season for hatching this year. Hares are plentiful—too plentiful for the farmers—and pheasants are strong. CONSUMPTION OF WINES IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.— From a Parliamentary paper just published it would ap pear that, although the population of the united king dom has almost doubled itself during the present cen tury, the quantity of foreign and colonial wine con sumed has decreased rather than increased during that period. In the year 1800, 7,224,752 gallons of foreign and colonial wines were charged with duty for home consumption, but in 1853 only 6,813,830 gallons were so charged. In the intervening years the consumption has fluctuated between the two amounts, rarely rising to the higher one, but frequently falling below the lower. The largest consumption was in 1803, when 8,226,464 gallons were charged with duty. Only one other year, 1825, registers 8,000,000 gallons, and after 1800 only three years, 18 02 , 1328, and 1839, reach even to 7,000,000 gallons. The lowest consumption was in the year 1816, when only 4,057,033 gallons appear to have paid duty, whereof 3,698,998 gallons were foreign, and 353,040 gallons colonial wines. THE EDUCATION QUESTION. —This important subject ie at present occupying a large share of public attention in the provinces, and , indeed, promises to be the leading topic for discussion during the recess. to the exclusion of nlmost every other topic. The value of trained teachers and competent masters in the rural and inenufaoturing districts is already recognised throughout the kingdom ; but in no district has the machinery which supplies them been more practically appreciated than in the West of England. In the city of Exeter local benevolence, with the mutual help of the friends of education in Devon and Cornwall. has reised a training institution of noble pro portions, which is now neerlv completed, and intended to be formally opened in the middle of October next. The work has been carried out through the cooperation of parties of all shades of politics, whose object was the promotion of an educational establishment for school masters and mistresses which should be worthy of the western district ; aril the large n umber of pupils in the present training-school renders an early occupation of the new building absolutely necessary. The Lord B shop of Exeter has censented to preach on the occasion, aed the Lord-Lieutenant of the county, Earl Fortescue, will preside at the dinner. The Right Hon. Lord John Rm. so li, who has accepted the office of steward, we believe will attend. Many other gentlemen of eminence in coo nexi6n with the Church and the S , aie will bf present on the auspicious occasion, and in Exctur and thy bourhood the event will be regarded as a general boli- 9,018 3,277 23,336 11,919 25,655 4,377 DIMBY SMITHFIELD.—AtiGnsT 29.
