ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE o'CLocic. There is no alteration in the Money Market to day, a steady business being reported at firm rates. The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday comprised the influx of £90,000 in gold, making a total intromission since the date of the last return of £298,000. The America, from New York, has brought £38,000. At a meeting of the creditors of Mr. S. F. Figge, merchant, who recently suspended, a balance-sheet was presented, showing liabilities of £14,567, and assets of £7,097 ; it was agreed to wind up the estate under inspectorship. A special settlement has been appointed to take place on the 31st inst., in.the shares of the English, Belgian, and Netherlands Bank, the English and Scottish Marine Insurance Company, and the West Surrey Tanning Company, excepting in the latter undertaking the dealings are to be officially re corded. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as un l d B e 6 r 3 : 1862. Great Western £63,927 £68,176 orth-Western 105,837 105,333 South-Western 25,528 28,543 Brighton Midland South-Eastern 29,630 28,518 Lancashire and Yorkshire 40,250 37,735 North Eastern (Berwick) Great Northern .. North British Bristol and Exeter Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln 15,490 14,735 Edinburgh and Glasgow Great Western of Canada 7,902 7,886 These returns are in most instances of a satiseac tory character. On the North Western there is an increase of £504, on the Midland of £263, on the South Eastern of £ll2, on the Lancashire and Yorkshire of £2,515, on the North Eastern (Ber wick) of £2,902, on the North British of £914, on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln of £765, and on the Edinburgh and Glasgow of £B4O. The Great Western, however, shows a decrease of £4,249, the South Western of £3,016, the Brighton of £1,640, and the Great Northern of £1,193. Two o'CLocK. At the half•yearly meeting to-day of the Victoria (London) Dock Company —Mr. Charles Morrison in the chair —the report of the directors was uni mously adopted. It was stated that, comparing the previous half-year with the preceding one, there was a decrease in the number of ships and tonnage that had entered the several London Docks for the years ending June, 1862, and 1863. The directors had agreed with the Charing-cross Railway Com pany to refer to arbitration the question of the sum to be paid by the latter for the steelyard. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f, 35c.—heavy. A rise of per cent. has taken place this morning in the market for English Stocks. This advance is no doubt due to some speculative purchases, the continual daily flow of gold into the Bank of Eng land, and the favourable tendency of the rates of discount. Consols are now marked 931 =5 for money, and 935 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities remain at 931 4 ; the New 21 per Cent. Annuities are 771 ; the 30 years do., 154 ; and Exchequer Bills ls. die. to 2s. prem. The India 6 per Cents. Loan is quoted 105-1 I; and the Bonds are 19s. prem. A fair business is recorded in the Foreign Mar ket, and prices have tended upwards.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been very restricted, but a firmer tone has pre vailed. Midland, North Eastern (Berwick), and South Eastern, have each improved ss. ; and Lan cashire and Yorkshire, and North Western, £l. In the Forei,ln and Colonial undertakings there has been no change of importance. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in one or two instances rather firmer. Oriental Bank have improved to 57-1 ; Union of Australia, to 54! ; Hudson Bay Company, to 38 4f; and International Financial Shares are firm at 8i 9. BRITISH FUNDS--CLOSING PRICES.

"Dr," Snow Beck had a friendly acquaintance and scme business relations with Mr. Sterne, occasionally prescribed for the family, twice attended Mrs. Sterne as accoacheur, and dined with them very frequently. He was paid for his medical services, partly in money and partly in presents, and seemed quite content , but, quarrelling with his friend, he suddenly produced a bill for three years' medical attendance amount ingto £591. It was proved that he had not mentioned this claim even in a previous reference to an arbitrator, that 8 4 ° .`" of the items were for attendance at the patient's „T il ers, and that he charged £3 3s. for each attendance. .‘"e jury could not stand it, stopped plaintiff's counsel to r, and pleaded ford enda Jury could had made up their minds, and br ought averdict n " t he judge declaring that it his experience he c h i a s ` l e hev . e t r heard a claim so outrageous.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF BANEIRITPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE THOMAS.-INSOLVENT MOTION. In this cue, which was an old insolvency, Mr. Denny applied under the Act 1 and 2 Viet., c. 110, s. 68, calling upon the provisional assignee of the Court of Insolvency to join in the conveyance of the equity of redemption of cer tain property mortgaged by the insolvent, the property not being of the value of the mortgage monoy, and therefore the equity of redemption was of no value to the creditors, although, if resolved in, the mortgagee would enhance the value of the security. The usual notice having been given to the creditors, and the provisional assignee not opposing, the order was made. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STABBING —COMMITTAL FOR TutA.L ; Harry Elcho, of 12, Craven-terrace, Bayswater, described as a traveller, was charged before Mr. Knox with stabbing a young man named George Francis, a butler, living at 2, Chapel-place, Berkeley-square. Inspector Hubbard, of the E division, attended to watch the case. The prosecutor, who, as well as the prisoner. is a young man of respectable appearance, said—The prisoner is an acquaintance of mine. This morning about four o'clock I accompanied him to a friend's at 76, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square. While there a quarrel took place between us, the prisoner saying that 1 had said something against him, which was not true. There was a scuffle between u-, and I felt myself stabbed in the upper part of my arm, and I believe prisoner had a knife. There was only one other person besides the prisoner and myself present (Ihs. Graham), On finding myself stabbed I ran downstairs and the prisoner followed me. Mr. linos—Did you see the knife ? Prosecutor—No ; I only felt myself stabbed. I called " police," and a constable came, and I gave the prisoner in chal ge, and I was taken to the hospital. Mr. Knox—What were you doing at the house? Prosecutor—We had been out drinking, and we had just called at the house to have a glass together. Mr. Knox—Were you both sober ? Prosecutor— I cannot say that we were. Ido not wish to press the charge, as the prisoner is a friend of mine. Mr. Knox—ls the house a brothel? Prosecutor—l believe it is. Mr. George Edward Pyle, junior house surgeon, at the Middlesex Hospital, said, at half-past five this morning the prosecutor and the prisoner were brought to the hospital. Prosecutor had an incised wounc: on the upper part of the left arm. The wound, which was about four inches in length, was bleeding. The prosecutor also had a slight wound on his left wrist. He had only his shirt and trousers on, and they were smothered with blood, Mr. Knox—Was there anything to tell you with what sort of weapon the wounds were inflicted ? Mr. Pyle—The wounds might have been inflicted with a sharp instrument. They were not punctured wounds nor deep. Mr. Knox—Do you apprehend any danger? Mr. Pyle—l do not, but it is almost impossible to say. Mr. Knox—Was there anything the matter with the accused ? Mr. Pyle—He had a bruise on the eye and a small cut on a finger of his left hand. Police-constable 168—I heard cries of "police," and went to Charlotte-street. The prosecutor and the prisoner were in the hall of No. 76. Prosecutor said the prisoner had stabbed him, and gave him into custody. I took them both to the hospital, and afterwards took the prisoner to the station. I searched the place, but could find no knife. Mary Ann Graham, of 76, Charlotte-street—The prose cutor and prisoner came to my place about two this morn ing. They had been drinking, and asked for a bottle of wine, which I supplied them with. Prisoner was going to sleep on my bed, and I told him that I could not allow it. The prosecutor and prisoner seemed quarrelsome. About four o'clock I was called up stairs, and on going into my bedroom they followed me in, and then prosecutor said pri soner had stabbed him. Mr. Knox—Was there any knife in the prisoner's hand Witness—l did not see one. Ann Jones, servant to the last witness, said—l was called up by my mistress, and on going into the drawing. room I fond prosecutor and the prisoner struggling, and both smothered with blood. Prosecutor ran down stairs and pulled the door after him by the kaucker. The pri soner, who had followed prosecutor down, had something shining in his hand, and tried to strike the prosecutor. The Prisoner then ran upstairs to fetch his coat, and then the police came. - Prisoner entered into a long statement to the effect that a quarrel had taken place between him anu the prosecutor, and that es the prosecutor in the struggle was getting the better of him he seized up something and made a blow at him. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for trial, and offered to take bail for his appearance at the sessions. A person on the conclusion of the case stepped forward and said that the house was not, as alleged, a brothel. June 27, July 25, 1863. 1 1863. i lncrease.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EGHAM RACES, WEDNESDAY. The second day's sport on the Runnymede was certainly above the average, but the pitiless rain, which came down in one unceasing pour, effectually marred all enjoyment of it, and reduced speculation to very narrow limits. One of the best contests of the day was that for the Town Plate, where the four placed came together from the stand, and an exceedingly pretty race resulted in Don't come Late winning by a neck, the other three so close up that only a head separated them from each other. Wild Hunt ress won the Baron's Stakes cleverly, Dilston and Maid of Morn filly making a dead heat of it fur second honours. The race of the day--the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes— brought Fix to the post, and Gibraltar showed himself again to be in excellent form by winning with ease, though Cu. tance drew it so fine by allowing Detective to creep up to him in the last few strides that the Judge's fit was only " by a head." By this Limo the rain had increased, and the remaining events were ;got through as speedily as possible. The favourite (Cadiz) won the Magna Charta Stakes with great ease by five lengths, and for the Scurry Handicap Mr. Edwards cantered in on Fletton. Of course, the attendance was small; still it was surprising to see how many ladies, as well as gentlemen, braved the pelting of the storm and all the attendant disagreeables. We wish we could say a good word for some of the arrangements of the meeting. The various officials, trainers, jockeys, and members of the press were supposed to be sheltered from the weather in the structure provided for their accommodation—but so ineffectual, in reality, was it for that purpose that macintoshes and umbrellas were equally needed inside as well as out. The discomfort of this need not be dwelt upon, and the committee, if they aspire to make Egham a popular meeting, should see to its prevention in future years. The Town Plate of 70 sous (Handicap) for all ages. Half a mile. Mr. G. Hodgmdn's Don't come Late, 3 yrs, 6st 61b (Morris) 1 Mr. R. Laws's Duke of Cambridge, 4 yrs, 7st 71b (Daley) 2 Mr. W.

A protracted delay at the post was occasioned by the repeated refusals of Miss Vivian to face the flag; at last the flag was lowered, and they left the post nearly in a line, Don't Come Late having a slight lead, followed on the Stand side by the Duke of Cambridge, at whose girths was Queen Elizabeth and Xurullo, the others, headed by Cadiz, Ernest, and Vigil, lying up. These positions were retained to the enclosure, when the Duke of Cambridge made an effort to reach Mr. Tiodgman's filly, but failed, and was beaten after a fine finish by a neck, a head sepa rating the second and third, a like distance between the third and fourth. Cadiz was fifth, and Lady Derby next, 'Jae others were widely spread, and were pulling up as they passed the post ; the last two were Miss Vivian and Fletton.

On their fairly entering the straight Sycophant was headed by Detective, who came on in waiting upon the leader to the stand, where Custanco eased him, which let up his immediate follower, who came with a rush, and nearly caught Gibraltar, who only won in the last stride by a head; a bad third, Joco fumth, Dark Lily fifth; Knight Templar beaten off.

His Honour gave judgment in this case which was under the arrangement clauses, and an application was made a few days since on behalf of the Grosvenor Investment Company for leave to issue execution against the debtor notwithstanding he had executed a deed of arrangement for the benefit of his creditors. It appeared that the debt only amounted to £22, and the costs £2B, whilst the assenting creditors to the deed amounted to £2,700. His Honour, in giving judgment, said that the granting an application would be giving an undue preference to the Investment Colopany, and he therebre refused to grant it. IN RE WILLISMERE.--IMPORTANT QUESTION AS TO THE POWERS OF THE COURT. This was an application made yesterday for the release of the bankrupt from custody. The case was one of consider able importance, raising the question as to what extent the protection of this court availed. The bankrupt was taken in execution by one of the officers of the City Sheriff's Court as he was leaving the court, after having received protec tion till the 29th October, the day appointed for his last examination, it being contended that the process of the Sheriff's Court was in the nature of a commitment. Mr. Denny contended that the arrest was unjustifiable, as the protection was a bar even to execution from a supe rior court, much less than from the Sheriff's or Lord Mayor's Court—the only exemption was a Judge's order, on a capias on affidavit that a person was about to leave the country ; besides a bankrupt was protected in coming to and returning from the court. His Honour concurred, and ordered the bankrupt's re lease, and doubted whether the officer ought not to pay costs. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—This Day. (Before Deputy Judge Payne.) WATCH ROBBERY. John Connolly was indicted for stealing a silver watch the property of William Law. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Henry Everest said on the evening of the 6th of August, at six o'clock in the morning, he was at the Nag's Head, Covent-garden, with the prosecutor.. The prisoner and two other persons were also there, and the whole party got into a conversation about prize fighting. H e challenged the prosecutor to fight for a shilling, b u t h e refused, and then took his watch out of his pocket to see the time. The prisoner then challenged another man to fight, and the whole turned out to fight; but on getting into the street, the prisoner and his companions ran away, and then the prosecutor said he had been robbed of his watch. He (witness) pursued the prisoner, and he saw him throw the watch away as he was running through one of the courts in Bow-street. He finally run him down at a house in Orange-court. On entering the house prisoner was discovered in bed. Prisoner--A pugilist came in, and the prosecutor said he'd back the man to fight me—his watch to a shilling. Witness—l never heard him say any such thing. Prisoner —Why, he said he'd give me a stone and then fight me. Judge Payne—Give you a what ? (Laughter.) Prisoner --A stone, my lord—that is, he would fight a stone lighter than me. I don't see how the witness can know anything about the matter, as he was no more so berer" —(laughter)—than his friend. Ho seems to have made up his mind to contradict every question I put to him, so I cha'n't ask him anything else. (Laughter.) All I've got to say is, I'm innocent. Judge Payne—The jury will have to decide that. (Great laughter.) William Law said he was in the publichouse on the morning in question. The prisoner had no conversation with him about fighting. He challenged him to fight. Judge Payne—Well, aint that something very like it. Witness—Yes, of course. I know I lost the watch (pro duced), and I know further, it cost me £6 10s. Police-Constable 152 F, took the prisoner into custody at a house in Orange -court. When tho female who kept the house came into the room she said she knew nothing of the prisoner, and that he had no business in the place. The jury found the prisoner guilty. A former convic tion having been proved against him, The judge sentenced him to four years' penal servitude. Prisoner —Thank ye, my lord. That's all right. He then left the dock evidently pleased with his sentence. William Summers was indicted for stealing a coat and other articles the property of James Bellamy. The coat was stolen off the box of a carriage, and the prisoner was taken into custody with the coat on his back. The prisoner, in his defence, said the coat was offered to him for sale, and just as he was trying it on the gentle man, a police-constable came up and charged him with stealing it. (Laughter.) The jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to eight months' imprisonment, with hard labour. Hester Fetch was indicted for stealing a gold necklet and a quantity of wearing apparel, the property of her master. The prisoner was a domestic servant in the service of Mr. Moore, and for some time trifling articles had been missed, but no suspicion was entertained that the prisoner was the thief. On her box being searched a number of the miss ing articles were discovered, and then the prisoner said, if her mistress would forgive her for the clothes, she would tell her about the chain which was afterwards found con• cealed in a purse belonging to her, The prisoner in her defence said she picked up the chain in the garden, arld forgot to return it to her mistress, and the clothes got into her box by accident. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the learned judge sentenced her so six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. MARKETS —This Day. MARK -LANE.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Our market to .day was fairly supplied with beasts as to number, but their quality was, for the moat part, inferior. All breeds moved off slowly, at Monday's currency. Th e demand for sheep was somewhat inactive. In prices, however, no change took place. The supply was moderate, and the best Downs realised 5s 2d per 81bs. Prime lambs sold at 6s 4d per 81bs, being easier rates. Inferior lambs changed hands at 5s 4d per 81bs, with a heavy demand. Calves were in fair average supply, and sluggish request, at late rates.

The jury returned a ver dict, " That deceased destroyed himself with a pistol shot while in a state of temporary insanity," WESTMINSTER. VIOLENT ASSAULT BY A GENTLEMAN.—Mr. George Delaforne Beresford, of the Army and Navy club, Pall mall, was charged before Mr. Arnold with being drunkard riotous, and assaulting Policeman Gale, B division, in the execution of his duty. The constable stated that about one o'clock that morning he w.s on duty in Knightsbridge, when he saw the priso ner, who had been turned out of the Sun Tavern, knocking violently at the door of it. He (the constable) went up to him and told him to go away, and get a cab to take him home. He did not do so, but continued knocking. He said they had turned him out, and wanted to know what he had done that he should be turned cut. He again began knocking with his stick, when witness told him that if he did not cease he should take him to the station. He then became very violent, and said, "You don't know who I am—L am a captain in the army." He made use of very bad language, and brandished a stick about threatening to strike him with it. He did not do so, but gave him a blow with his fist. He was drunk. The prisoner said that he was net drunk, and that he did not recollect striking the constable. Smith, 131 B, said that he saw the assault. Some per sons in the crowd observed to him (prisoner), " Why will you not go home in a cab ?" Prisoner was drunk. Sergeant of police, B 14, also said that the prisoner was the worse for liquor when he was charged. The prisoner at first wished to have the case remanded, in order to produce witnesses, and was held to bail to pro duce them, but eventually declined to do so. Mr, Arnold observed that he had behaved very disorderly, and that had the assault on the constable been a verb severe one, he would have sent him to prison without a fine. The prisoner was fined 505., which he paid. BANK RETURNS.

Some time ago Mr, Harry Dodd, the well-known contractor, proposed that a match of the kind should take place, and that; gentleman having generously offered £2O for competition, it was deemed advisable to isaue regulations and notices so that barge-masters and owners should become acquainted with the match, and Mr. Grant, of the Harp, Harp-lane, Tower-street, having kindly volunteered to re ceive further subscribptions, it was determined by the sail ing committee of the Prince of Wales Yacht Club (under whose direction the affair was placed) that the entries should close on Tuesday, the 18th August, for barges of from 50 to 100 tons. The following barges were then entered : Station. Barge. Owner. 1. 2. 3, 5. 6. 7. Mary 8. 9. 10. The course was from Gravesend to the Nore and back; and the race to take place on Wednesday, the 26th (yes terday). The prizes were three purses of sovereigns, con taining £lO, £7, and £5 respectively. To start from the Lobster, leave the distance buoy on the port harm, and the winning buoy on the starboard hand, The steamboat Greed (Captain Wheeler) accompanied, but was not so full as might have been expected, and the race was con ducted by Mr. Massingham, the treasurer of the match, under whose direction the first gun was fired at 1.43 to prepare, and the second, to start, at 1.50. Four of the boats canted to leeward and four to windward (the Unicorn not putting in an app.arance), and the Eliza was soon covered with canvas. The Queen Caroline, however, was the first round, closely followed by the W. H. D. The Mary and James together, and the Emily right on the James' quarter, the other being slow. The barges all got round very smartly, and soon began to show their mettle. The Queen led by 20 or 30 yards in about a quarter of a mile, but the W. H. D. soon overhauled her and 1• d : the Emma being third. The W. H. D. was, however, again passed by the Queen Carolin , but soon after went into first place again, In the upper part of the Hope the W. H. D. led by 200 yards. The weather had from the btginuing been very bad. Squalls from S.W. and heavy rain damped the ardour of all on board, and this order of things con• tinned to the Chapman Head, where the W. H. D. led by two miles the James, Claude, and Mary, altogether wide of one another. The Claude, however, soon left the others, and the barges not being able to fetch the Nore, the steam• boat anchored at Leigh, and the boats rounded in the fol lowing order and times : s. W. H. D.

STATE OF TRADE. —____ DUN DEE) Aug. 25.—Advices from St. Peters burg report the sale of about 1,000 tons of flax at very full prices, and that the dealers still held about 2,000 tons, for which they were asking more money. b Supplies are reported toe more liberal i n Ri ga , and the lower marks have gone clown a rouble, but the high exchange kept up the sterling price. Here the demand was limited today, and only a few sales are reported, b ut prices are fully maintained. Tow and codilla also kee p their value, although little business has b e en done since l ast report. A specu lative demand having sprun g up f or j ute i n London and Liverpool, this market has been somewhat ex cited to-day, and a number of sales are reported at advanced prices, the rise in some cases being about £1 a ton. Good to fine qualities ars most sought for, but common jute is also held firmer. The in quiry for yarns was again active to-day, and the sales made of considerable extent. A small advance was got on flax and tow q ualities, and jute yarns share in some degree the animation which pervades the raw material. The demand for all descriptions of linens continues excellent. LEICESTER, 26th.—There has been a good deal of activity this week in the hosiery trade. The de mand continues for regular goods, and there is also a fair amount of business doing in fancy hosiery, ma nu f ac t u rers being well employed with orders on hand. In the rural districts there is rather more activity. The wool market is firm, at recent quo tations. Yarns arc selling at extreme rates and are in fair demand. NOTTINGHAM, 26th.—There is less doing in the lace trade this week. This state of things is, however, only temporary, and an improvement is expected shortly. The buyers who have recently been in the market have purchased only sparingly. In hosiery there is very little change. A fair amount of business is doing for the home market, and orders are being completed for shipping. There are no stocks of hosiery or lace goods on hand. Yarns are very firm. ~+~..r.W OXFORDSHIRE STAKES. Balham (Mine Loiterer Seven ran. SELLING PLATE. Farmer's Daughter filly Cosette Lady Derby 3 Nine ran. COUNTY MEMBERS' PLATE.

The report, which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CIIAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, remarked upon the satisfactory way in which the company's business had progressed. There had been an increase in the receipts. for the past half-year over the receipts of the correspond ing half of the year 1862, notwithstanding the latter was the Exhibition year. The company would, however, be under the necessity of 'expending £30,000 in carriages. Com peting lines had forced the company to reduce their fares, and although the traffic had been augmented by SO doing, the revenue from such traffic was not equal to what it had formerly been at the higher fares with less tra:ffic. The company's contract, in conjunction with the London, Chatham, and Dover Company, to carry the mails betty een Dover and Calais, which had been taken out of the ha nds of Mr. Churchward, had proved both remunerative to the company and to the Post-office author Lies. The direc tors will lay before the shareholders a plan for their approval, so soon as the Charing-cross line shalt be completed, for the working of that line in conjunction with the South Eastern system. Some statements Thad been made by the chairman of the Brighton Company re specting a proposition for opening up railway acconaraoda tion between Uckfield and Tunbridge Wells, which required contradiction. The South-E astern directors, it was staled, would not listen to such a proposition, and consequently the Brighton Company were obl.ged to abandon the project. But the fact was, the pro p o sition originated with the S ou th- Eastern directors, and, on conferring with the Brighton Company, their directors expressed their opinion that no such line was required, and that their company should have nothing to do w.th it. The chairman then adverted to other disputes the directors had with the Brighton Com pany, but apprehended that the shareholders had nothizig to fear from the opposition, especially when the advantages that the South -Eastern' s new termini would offer were taken into consideration. There was one other matter to which attenti.,n must be called, the proposition to purchase , the Mid Kent Railway. This line properly belonged to the South Eastern Company. It was a remunerative lino. The argument for its purchase would bo submitted to the stare holders at the proper time, at a meeting specially called for the purpose, when the requisite powers would have to be obtained. Mr. THOMSON seconded the motion. Mr. COLESCHILD stated that from an investigation he had made of the books of the companyyesterday he found that although the directors paid a large dividend, they had not earned more durin g the past half-year. He found that X 10,231 for the same works were carried over to next half-year as un paid,pending the result of an action against the contractors. For this no provision had been made. He thought there should have been, and that the expense of the dividend for the half-year. He noticed also an item of £1,590 for Par liamentary expenses carried to the next half-year; and also an item which he was very sorry to see, for opposing the Eastborn and Tunbridge Railway Company in the name of a third party. He was no shareholder in the Brighton Railway Company ; but he very much regretted this. In conclusion, he moved an amendment to the motion, that the clauses 12 and 13 in the report be not adopted. Mr. ADAMS said he wanted to know from Mr. Mellow whether he was not working for tho interest of his friend Sir Morton Peto to get just about double the price for a certain place called the Steelyard, required by the Charing ci oss Company for carrying out its projects. He believed they wanted about £150,000 for it, though it had been bought a short time sgo for £75,000. Mr. TENLON stated that this matter had been referred to arbitration. Mr. ADAMS objected to that course, and said the proper course was to refer the matter to a jury. He continued by obj acting to the facilities given to the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway ; and said that there was evidently a sinister Lancashire connection working on the board that had pro duced this result, so inimical to the progress of the company. in reply to Mr. Adams, Mr. MELLOW stated, that the purchase of the Steelyard was referred to arbitrators, and as to his transactions with Sir Morton Peto, he had never known him in any business transaction whatever. The CHAIRMAN stated that every penny of the dividend paid had been earned during the past half-year, and the accounts so specifying it had been authenticated by the auditors. The amendment to the report of the directors was then w put and carr ied unanimou o r. put and negatived by a l a rge majority ; upon which the original mcnion as A dividend of 41" i per cent. aeon the ordinary stock of thecompany was agreed to and t COLIC:14140. by vote of thinks to the chaftrilan, RIM _ Jude' )cond L i g ht, the bed• !most Bing► ed a .boy. 1 115 [enTi eth" ittect )the n Ajot. ;ure bell über been gas- tira 7ag ° It it Shari 100 stk stock stock stock *took stook stock stock stock 20 stock 50 100 stock st St stock all 100 (100 'lOO 2 all ,100 100 , SSE Paxi. all 8 7i al, all 10 100 100 100 100 100 1071 10 6 1081 8 20 :34
