Th e market closed very heavily, and prices had a down ward tendency. The sales comprised 4,000 Ame rican, 120 Pernam and Maranham, tat 61d. to 61d. ; 100 Egyptian, at 610. to ; 1,500 Surat, at 3d. to 3d., and 50 Sea Island, at Is. to 2s. ld. p e r lb. Railway shares were very flat. The new charge of 2d. per cwt. upon all goods shipped at various docks and wharves in London appears to give dissatisfaction, judging by the fol lowing statement in the Daily Commercial Gazette: "Great complaint during the last few days has been mad e by the si,i - )pers and exporters of good:, owing to a new impost being levied by the various 'Dock and Wharf Companies. A charge of 2d. per cwt. has now to be paid on all goods shipped, but although the amount in question looks small, it is a very important item, for we hear it will make a difference of 1,5001. per annum to one firm, who purchase in this market for one of the outports. In the public sale, on Thursday last, a question was asked the selling broker, whether he would allow the btiyer the extra 2d. per cwt., as he had large orders for export, and this being de clined. the principal part of the sale was bou4ht in. The sooner this question is finally settled the better, for if these vexatious alterations are to be allowed, the trade of the port of London will be materially affected, as - many of the merchants will order their goods to be landed at the outports, rather than be subjected to these impolitic charges. As the new rate will undoubtedly come out of the importer's pockets either in the shape of allowance, or loss in the actual value of the goods sold, we should. advise the immediate attention of the merchants on the subject, and petition the various com panies to abolish this obnoxious charge." Accounts from Hamburgh state that the Swedish Government feels much relieved by the departure of the allied fleets from its coasts, and, when Ad miral Napier returns, will be more at liberty to Pursue its own policy, which is certainly more Rus sian than English. It is evident from the tone of these communications that we have not succeeded in making ourselves much feared or respected in the Baltic. Thanks to our irresolute policy. A publication of much value to bankers, stock brokers, and all persons connected with the money market, is the new edition of " Fenn on the Eng lish and Foreism Funds," &c., edited by Mr. Henry Ayres, of the Bankers' Circular. Besides a most ample account of the debt of the _United King dom the liabilities of ev er y - forei g n state, rendered ' in English currency, are given, with the laws and re gulations of the Stock Exchange balance sheets °Aire banks, railway returns, Stamp Duties Act, and other informatio n, brou g ht down to the l a t es t possible date, and arranged with the greatest care. " Anderson's Mercantile Correspondence" is a Volume of interest to the commercial community, and this sixth addition, revised and enlarged, will best attest its merits. The modern business letters are of that practical character that will at once be recognised as different from the usual school models. In hills of exchange upon the principal conti nental cities, there was yesterday afternoon a fair busines:4 done, and at full rates, except on France and Belgium, w hi c h were rather easier.

MANCHESTER, Sept. 19.—Our market has b, en a good deal affected to-day by the heavy failures that have oc curred within the last few days. As is usual in connec tion with such events, an unwonted degree of caution is excited, and operations are largely interrupted. These effects are not confined to the particular branches of busi ness directly interested, but extend in different degrees throughout the entire market. Altogether, therefore, we perceive a sensible diminution of business, and an impaired spirit. This, of course, is more especially the case in those departments of yarns or goods which are particularly connected with the markets of India, China, and North and South America. The Greeks, however, continue a fair amount of purchases both in cloth and twist ; but the Germans hold back very much. The home houses are buying moderately. The value of domestics, long cloths, T.'s, and printers is sustained. To India goods and yarns no test is applied. The degree in which the lower counts of twist are under contract renders them extremely stiff in price. In other yarns for the conti nent, and also for home manufacture, only a slight con cession from the previous quotations can be here and there obtained by purchasers. The overland letters are received, and they report some improvement in the Cal cutta market, with a more favourable prospect for fu ture business, and also a little amendment at Bombay. HALIFAX, Sept. 26.—Our Piece-hall has presented a very dull aspect to-day, and there have been few persons present, either as buyers or sellers. Yarn remains about the same, both as to demand and price, and wool is firm but little doing. ROCHDALE, Sept. 18.--. We have had a brisk demand for flannels, which has quite equalled if not exceeded the supply ; prices are much the same as they were on the preceding week. There is little change in the wool market ; the demand moderate and prices firm. HUDDERSFIELD, Sept. 19.—A slight improvement has taken place in the demand for goods in the market to day. In some of the warehouses more ha , been doinc , but as a gereral rule has not Been fancy vesting trade continues very depres-ed, and there seems little Oance of an improvement in this season. Where has beta a slightly improved demand for wools today. JOINT-STO all Australasia all British polonial Bank and Loan Company all British N. American 5 Chartd. Bank of Asia 2 Clutd.

OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Erie and Mr. Justice Crowder.) Wm. Howe, 1714. Thompson, and Garan Richards, three respectable-looking men, the former of whom has for some time practised as a solicitor at the different police courts, surrendered to take their trial for misde meanour, in having unlawfully conspired together to defraud the ends of justice, by means of perjury and false representations. Mr. Bodkin, Mr. Ballantine, and Mr. Sleigh were counsel for the prosecution. Mr. Parry, Mr. Metcalfe, and Mr. Horne appeared for the defendants. The facts of this case have appeared very recently, and were of a very extraordinary character. The in dictment against the defendants charged them with having conspired together, in three instances, to obtain the discharge upon bail of persons known as notorious thieves, and who were in custody for, serious offences. From the statement of the counsel for the prosecution, it appeared that, in the month of April, two women, named Scott and Bletchford, were taken into custody for a daring robbery in Regent-street, and were com mitted to take their trial at the 'Westminster sessions. An application was subsequently made to Mr. Justice Wightman, at Chambers, to admit Bletchford to bail, and the deiendant Thompson made an affidavit that he had served a notice of the application to the prosecutor ; and Horne appeared before the judge and said that the pro secutor consented to bail being taken, and it was alleged that Rickards appeared upon the slime occasion, and represented himself to be the clerk to the solicitor for the prosecution, and he said that there was no objec tion to bail being taken. Upon this state of things the learned judge directed that Bletchford should be ad mitted to bail. The prisoner was consequently dis charged from custody ; he did not surrender, and, of course, escaped from justice. It then turned out that the bail were persons of no means, and the ends of jus- tics were thus entirely defeated. It was alleged that in two other cases, the proof being that of a man named Roberts, a well-known member of the swell mob, who was charged with a robbery at the bauking house of Messrs. Barnett, Hoare, and Co., a similar scene of proceeding was adopted, but in both these in stances the proceeding was unsuccessful, and Roberts was convicted and sentenced to transportation. The case for the prosecution was that the defendants, or some of them at all events, had deliberately entered into a systematic plan of operations for the purpose of defeat ing justice, by obtaining the release of notorious thieves by means of devices of every description, forgery of the most extensive character being among them ; and it ap peared that one of the persons who had been in the habit of offering himself as bail during the course of the trans actions had since been transported for felony, and the other had left the country. A legal discussion arose at the close of the opening statement of the learned counsel for the prosecution as to whether it was competent to give evidence in support of the three separate cases, the evidence affecting each of the prisoners in a different degree; and eventually the jury were discharged from giving a verdict in the case of Collins and Roberts, as regarded Rickards, and the case was proceeded with against the defendants upon the case of Bletchford. Evidence was then gone into, and the trial was pro ceeding when our report left. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Thomas Blair, 0, tailor, pleaded guilty to an indict ment for bigamy. Mary Ann Malcolm, the second wife, said that the prisoner had worked for her first husband. He told her previously to their being married that he had been united to a woman in Scotland, but that it was not a regular marriage. After then he said he had never been married at all, bat she finding a letter which con vinced her that that was not true had him taken into custody. He had very much ill-used her since marriage. He was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. IR ELAND. THE LATE FATAL RAILWAY COLLISION — FURTHER INTELLIGENCE. TRILLICK, SATURDAY NIGUT.—The jury empaanelled on view of the body of poor Mitchell, the stoker, who was killed, owing to the obstructions on the Enniskillen Excursion Train, sat for a considerable portion of to-day, Mr. Orr, coroner, having arrived from Omagh.—Some medical gentlemen and other parties were examined, after which the inquiry was adjourned to Monday morn ing, when it will be resumed. Mitchell's remains will be removed to Derry to-night by the down train. Seven parties in all are in custody, on suspicion of being impli cated in this affair, but no evidence, we believe, was adduced at the inquiry to-day directly to identify any of them with the perpetration of the foul deed. Their names are—Hugh and William Harkin, William Lynch, Roger Murphy, Francis Mthialion, William Flanagan, and John Morran. We are happy to add that none of the accused parties belong to this part of the country, as they are all platelayers or " navies" working on the line. The place selected foi the execution of this nefarious plot plainly demonstrates that a wholesale destruction of human life was expected to result. About a quarter of a mile on the Derry side of Trillick station there is an embankment to the height of upwards of thirty feet, over which, when the train came in contact with the obstructions, both engines were precipitated, the links which connected them with the train being providen tially broken. The second engine dashed on the first, and poor Mitchell was crushed to death between them. There is also a viaduct at the embankment, from the parapet of which the stones (one weighing nine cwt.) were moved on to the line. Lord Enniskillen, who was riding on one of the engines, was scalded and bruised, while several of the excursionists have sustained injuries consequent on their leaping out of the carriages when the shock was felt. The engines remain as they fell, at the bottom of the embankment. No retaliation was attempted by the excursionists, as they were all dreadfully alarmed. Isaac Collins, engine -driver, as before stated, saved himself by leaping off the engine. The driver and stoker of the second engine sustained serious injuries. Two engines were despatched (one from Ennis killen, the other from Omagh) on the state of the excur sionists becoming known. One of them brought a num ber of passengers to Enniskillen early on the following morning. Henry Darcy, Esq., of Necairn Castle, was the first who brought the intelligence of the disaster to Ennis killen, he having availed himself of a car which was in waiting at Trillick station, to reach town, where he arrived at twelve o'clock. Ile lost no time in having all the available vehicles in Enniskillen sent to the sta tion, to bring up the passengers, many of them, how ever, walked home during the night, others sought re fuge in the neighbouring villages, while not a, few Were brought to Enniskillen the following morning by the train. When the state of affairs became known in En niskillen, the greatest alarm prevailed among the inhabi tants, as there were few but had relatives among the excursionists, and the general anxiety had not entirely abated until all the party arrived on the following day. Every thing is at present going on satisfactorily. I will send further intelligence as soon as possible. The body of Mitchell arrived here by the goods train on Saturday night, and was interred in Muff church-yard yesterday.. The funeral was attended by some thousands of our most respectable fellow citizens. John Armstrong, engine-driver, and Neil Griffin, fire man, who sustained injuries on the occasion, are now at the County Infirmary. The left leg of Griffin is shat tered at the knee. The medical gentlemen met yester day, and decided on amputation, but the unfortunate man would not submit to the operation, so that death is certain, as mortification has already set in. This poor fellow is a Roman Catholic. John Armstrong, the engine -driver, has sustained a fracture of the thigh bone. • The leg is greatly swollen, but hopes are entertained of his recovery. It is remarkable that Armstrong, from some cause, could not get his engine inworking order when the train left Dromore road. When asked could he assign any reason for this he replied, " none, unless the inter position of God, for this greatly lessened the speed of the train. On Sunday morning several stones were again placed on the line of rail near the spot where the engines were upset. The "life guard," however, cleared the rails of the obstruction, and no accident occurred. One of the plate-layers says he was fired at here, but his statement must be received with caution. Every precaution was taken by the railway officials to against an accident , as six watchmen were placed apart on every m ile alon g the line. Scarcely any guard of the country people would render as sistance, although one fellow was paid liberally for bringing a little water, and another was paid to bring a door to carry off the sufferers; they did not return. Lord Enniskillen took up his abode in a peasant's house for the night. aeu l e s s a l a u c C as ouoltlhines,gruthe ground, engine aft . e driver, rieapiu lay for some g fromthee time ngiue. When he recovered be asked some of the navies to pro cure him a drink of water. They replied, " they did not know where to get it," and they moved about, with their hands in their pockets, perfectly unconcerned.— , Derry Sentinel. NEW WING TO THE MIDDLESEX HOUSE or DETEN- 1 TlON.—This morning IL Pownall, Esq., (the chairman) and several of the county magistrates inspected the now female wino of the prison, which it has been found necessary, in consequence of want of room, to erect in connection with the old building. The wing forms a square and contains 35 additional cells, which are light and airy, and fitted with all the modern appliances. Particular attention has been paid by F. 11. Pownall, Esq., the architect, to the ventilating of the building generally. The flooring of the bath rooms and cells have been laid by Orsi and Arraani with white and brown metallic lava and Seyssel asphalte. The chapel contiguous to the wing is undergoing considerable alterations with regard to light and ventilation, and the old unsightly framework of the seats has been removed, thus giving the building the aspect of an ordinary OPENING OF ST. GEORGE'S HALL, LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, Tuesday.—This morning there Wa3 again a very meagre attendance. Considering that Elijah was the oratorio announced for performance, it might have been expected that, notwithstanding the high prices of admission, there would have been a better muster • but the " higher classes" of Liverpool have never manifested much love for oratorio music—a fact sufficiently exem plified, if proof were wanting, by the scone of yesterday morning at the finale to the Messiah. The hall this morning was certainly not more than a third part filled. The instant it was known that the Queen would not be Present at the opening there ought to have been a re arrangement of the plan of operations. An " inaugu ration" by the mayor and council of the borough, although a very interesting local event, affords nothing to attract the nobility and gentry of the surrounding country, after the manner of festivals generally. 14s. is a formidable sum fora single admission into any estab lishment. Had the price been half-a-guinea it would have been enough in all conscience, and the eclat of a full attendance might have been secured, to say nothing of the result as regards the local charities. As it is, the festival must prove a failure in a financial point of view ; indeed we shall be very much surprised if a heavy loss will not be occasioned by it to the corporate estate. Contrary to all expectations, Elijah, upon the whole, went off splendidly. The chorus was really magnificent. One and all seemed inspired by the glorious music, and laboured zealously to develope the choral wonders of this most sublime work. MABKET NEWS--(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was very scantily supplied with all kinds of English wheat. For all kinds the demand was firm, and most of the factors refused to sell, except at an advance in the prices of Monday last, of from is to 2s per quarter. The business doing, however, was not extensive. We had a good inquiry for foreign wheat, and the quota tions had an upward tendency. Floating cargoes were held at 2s more money. The barley trade was firm, at very fall prices ; but malt commanded scarcely any attention. We had a good inquiry for oats, at fully Monday's cur rency. Beans, peas, and flour were firm.

SUGAR.—Demand has not improfed for colonial, and prices have further declined for brown and lower sorts, although a less quantity has been offered for sale. Of duty paid foreign supplies have been extensive; but holders sub mitting to some reduction occasioned operations to be on a larger scale. Prices are supported for floating cargoes of foreign, there being many buyers for export and the United Kingdom.

NEW LIGHT ON WINGA ISLAND, WEST COAST OF SWEDEN. The Swedish Government has given notice that the Lens apparatus of the fourth order, placed on the new lighthouse at Winga, was lighted on the Ist inst. It stands 90 feet above the level of the sea, being the same height as the fixed light. The Light of Buskar, situated inside of Winga, has been altered to a red light from seaward, bat white from the fairways within the rocks. Also, that a reverberating apparatus has been fitted to the lighthouse of Holmogadd, consisting of 14 strongly placed reverberators, which illumine the whole horizon, with. the exception of that towards Holmoland, between N. 25 deg. and 55 deg. E., by compass, the elevation of which is the same as the old light, and came into operation on the 9th inst. In consequence of the situation of the dangerous shoal which extends two miles S.S.W. from the southern point of Holmogadd, ending in a flat rock, in 5 feet of water, called Gaddsynton, S.S.W. W., by corn pass, from the lighthouse, the light has been strengthened in this direction, which it therefore illuminates the strongest.

Mr. Deputy Peacock occupied the chair. IT.^.7ITIIOLESOME MEAT. Mr. Poeklington, one of the inspectors of meat in the City markets, said that on the last day of the sitting of the Court he had been instructed by the chairman to get the names of the parties who had forwarded to Newgate , Market some carcases which he had seized as unfit for • human consumption. The CHAIRMAN (interrupting)—This Court cannot pro ceed against the persons sending the meat. It has only power to proceed against those who sell it. Deputy HOLT—The instructions to the inspector were that be was not only to seize the meat and see it destroyed, but likewise to summon the parties from whom it came. The earaiamax —No, no ; the order was, seize the meat, and Ammon the parties here who have it for sale, because this C our t need not summon parties from John O'Groat''s house. The persons sending unwholesome meat can be dealt with by the magistrate before whom they are, summoned. (Hear, hear.) Deputy CO RK sa id h e was r) very anxious that Mr. Fisher, another inspector of meat, should state how Mr. Aldermsin Challis, when Lord Mayor, had treated a 1 . case similar to the o ne un d er the consideration of the court. Mr. Fisher then stood forward and said, some time ago I seized the carcase of a co w a t a whole' . ill e le b l utcber s in WhiteclaaTel. It had been sent th ere from wholesale was in a. very bad condition i n d ee d. I think the m wo l use2 rt " I l ever saw. I applied to Alderman Challis w h en Lordilsyo fora suitamona against the party sen d ing i t to marketar for sale for human food. The Lord Mayor upon that occasion told me that ho would not g ran t rue a summon,, but that, I was to sell it, and after maki ng th e most I could of it, I was to hand over the proceeds to the man who forwarded the carcase to Whitechapel. I endea voured to remonstrate with his lordship, but to no pur pose, for he told me to be off, to go out of court, about my business. The CIIAIRMAN—AIderman Challis is not now Lord Mayor, therefore we need not discuss that matter. (Laughter.) The terms of the act of Parliament are very clear. Wherever you find unwholesome meat you are not only to seize it, but you must also summon the persons upon whose premises you find it. (Hear, hear.) Mr. 4-.I3RAIZAM—No doubt the inspector has been led into a mistake by what fell from the Lord Mayor, who stated that if possible the names of the parties who sent the meat to London should be obtained, upon which they might be dealt with. The Court can deal with per sons who expose unwholesome meat for sale in London ; but its powers do not reach those who transmit it from the country. If the Lord Mayor has power, let him exercise it. (Hear, hear.) ' Mr. H. L. TAYLOR— It is the bounden duty of in spect.ors to take care that no diseased meat is exposed for sale, .and if it is the Court has power to interfere, and to deal .with those who violate the law. (Hear, hear.) This i ; the full extent we are authorised to go under the act of Parliament. The common law will touch the par ties wl so send the meat to market if you can get at them. The L ord Mayor, or anybody else, if sufficient informa tion is obtained, can summon the persons sending the meat ft 'om Herefordshire or any other county, but it can not be done under our act. Our officers are bound to hold those r esponsible only who exhibit it for sale. We also ought to hold them responsible, and to put them be fore thie public, if they attempt to offer for sale that which is unfit for human consumption. At the same time I should be very sorry to blame those who have meat con sign ed to them, and who do not know its quality till they see it, and I believe it is the practice of respectable sales: nen to give notice to the inspectors when carcases of an unwholesome description are consigned to them for sate. (Hear, hear.) The• subject then dropped. A good many persons owning house property of a poor description in the City were summoned at the in stance, of the medical officer or the inspectors of nui sances, for neglecting or refusing to provide efficient drab sage and water supply for their dwellings, and were order •ed immediately to remedy the evil complained of. They were reminded that in the event of their dis obeyi: n the directions of the Court, the works would be for thwith executed, and the expense thereof charged to thei n. Sev , ;ral of the contractors for cleansing the streets and public dustbins were fined for neglect, and the Court adjour ued. THE REGISTRATIONS. MIDDLESEX. The revision of the lists of voters for the metropolitan county was proceeded with yesterday, by Mr. Shadwell, at the, Castle Inn, Brentford. The day's revision in clude& the parishes and places within this polling dis trict. _ _ _ Mr. Jones and Mr. Maelure attended for the Con servatives. The Liberal interests were represented by Mr. Davies and Mr. Sidney Smith. CONSERVATIVE FREEHOLD - LAND SOCIETY-IMPORTANT DECISION. Mr. Lewis, solicitor to this society, and Mr. Alley 1 1 ,nur attended to represent the claims of seventy-two members of the society who claimed to be placed on the reg ster in virtue of freehold land situate in the Rich mm id-road, Ealing. Amongst the claimants named were Lord Maidstone, Sir 'O. W. Codrington, Bart., Hon. H. C. Lowther, M.P., Mr. R. Rolt, M.P., lion. R. Rowley, Sir S. Bign.old, Mayor of Norwich, Colonel North, M.P., Mr. E. 11..Vansittart, M.P., Colonel Abdy, Rev. D. Cooper, Mr. Benedict, t!ie composer, and Captain Mey rick. The first claim was that of Colonel Abdy, who wss a shareholder in the society,, and held a plot of land, No. 36, value 501. Mr. Lewis produced the title deed, and said that, if necessary, he was prepared to go into every individual case. Barrister (examining the deed)—There:appears to be a covenant as to building. 31:r. Lewis—There is merely a stipulation that build ings to be erected on the estate shall be built in a certain manner. Mr. Davies—But I object as to the value ; if the claimants could prove that the land is of sufficient value to entitle them to the franchise, I will not take up the time of the Court by objecting. Mr. Lewis then stated that each plot had 27 feet frontage by 110 feet in depth. The land was situated in the centre of Ealing, and several houses were ap proaching completion. There was not one plot worth less than 501., and many of them worth 751. He re minded the barrister that, under his own decision in the case of the St. Pancras and other freehold land societies last year, he had no alternative but to admit of all the claims which he, Mr. Lewis, was present to defend. Barrister —But you must show that the purchase money has been paid, and that there is no mortgage_ upon the property. Mr. Lewis assured the barrister that he only appeared for such members of the society as had paid up in full, and upon whose property there was no encumbrance. There were two surveyors present who could give evi dence as to value. Mr. Prickett, in answer to the barrister, said that he had gone over the estate in the Richmond-road, Ealing; it consisted of a great many plots, having twenty-seven feet frontage, and from this experience in valuing land he considered that the value of each was 3s. a foot, which would give an annual value of 4/. Barrister—Then you consider this land worth twenty five years' purchase! Mr. Prickett—ln its present state, uncovered, I com pute its value at twenty years' purchase ; when covered it would be worth twenty-five years' purchase. Mr. Davies—lt will be necessary for Mr. Lewis to show that there is no mortgage upon the property. Mr. Lewis contended that it was for Mr. Davies, who had objected to the claim, to prove that there was a mortgage. Mr. Jones—There can be no doubt that there is suf ficient value. We only want 21,, and here is 41. clearly proved. Barrister—Such is certainly the fact. The seventy-two claims represented by Mr. Lewis were then gone into, and were all allowed. Mr. Jones said that he had a number of claims in the same society, which he substantiated, making in all ninety-one claims, which were sustained by the Con servatives. The whole number claimed to vote at Charing-cross. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD. Yesterday the ordinary half-yearly meeting of the pro prietors of this company was held at the Easton station; Mr. S. M. Peto, M.P., presiding. The report of the directors, which was taken as read, stated that the result, in money, of the past half-year was an increase in the receipts, compared with the cor responding period of the previous year, of 11,096/. 16s, 5d., of which 8,381/. Cs. 7d. bad been derived from the railway, and 2,7151. Bs. 10d. from the steam-boats, while the relative percentage of expenses, notwithstand ing the rise in value of both labour and materials, more particularly in that portion of the latter required for the steam-boat department, showed but a very slight in crease. The receipts from the merchandise vessels, in the statement of accounts submitted on the 18th March last, exhibited a balance against the merchandise vessels of 1,8171. 3s. 11d. The ;.stablishment of an improved system for through transit of goods, between England and Ireland, would material:;; assist in developing the resources of the latter country - 7 . ; and the directors trusted that the subject would, ere long, receive from other companies interested the consideration due to so impor tant an object. The directors further state, that the measure, which they felt it their duty to adopt in De cember last, of discontinuing to book through with the ----- • • City of Dublin Company; had been entirely successful, in producing considerable in reuse in the receipts from passengers between Ho:yliead and Kingstown. A com parative statement subjoined to the report, exhibiting the number of passengers and tonnage of merchandise con veyed, as compared with the evrresponding period of pre vious years, gave for the last half-year, in passengers 281,524 against2so,o47 in the half year ending 30th June, 1853 ; in tonnage of goods 151,642 as against 126,571 in 1854 ; income from railway, 97,1771. against 88,7951.; percentage of expenses oft receipts, 53.18 per cent. against 52/ per cent. ; receipts from steam-boats, 17,942/. against 15,2271. ; and balance 6291. against 2,0601. The direc tors also reported that an act had passed during the last session of Parliament, authorising a lease of the Bangor and Carnarvon Railway, on terms substantially the same as those submitted and aroved by the proprietors, at the meetin gs i n March and June and that the necessary steps would b e at once taken to 'complete the arrange ment, and offer th e shares to the proprietors.

The result of the last half-year's working, as exhibited by those accounts, would be considered satis factory. Since the year 1850, when he had first the honour of addressing them as their chairman, the pa s .. senger traffic on their line had doubled, and the tonnage of goods had trebled. The money results were also fa vourable ; for while in the corresponding half-year of 1850 the total receipts were 57,4811., and the charges 35,6371., in the last half-year the receipts had been 97,1771., and the charges 51,681/. (Rear.) Again with regard to the steam-boat traffic. In the corresponding half year of 1850 there was a balance against the company on the half-year's working of 5,8161., while in the WA half year the adverse balance was only 629/. But although the accounts showed a balance against the working of the steam-boats, this could not fairly be taken as the real state of the case, inasmuch as but for the traffic which the steam-boats brought upon the railway, the net results of the latter would not by any means approach the point at which they had arrived. The change which had been made in the through-booking system had been attended with remarkable results ; for while in 1850 the number of pas sengers brought by the express vessels had been in the half year 6,359, in the half year just closed the number had risen to 19,534. The new system had not yet been carried into effect, as the directors were anxious it should be in reference to goods, in consequence of the existing agreements among the Irish companies. The attention of the directors was, however, directed to this subject, believing that by this meals the traffic would be more fully developed. But with the present appliances the in crease in the goods traffic was most satisfactory, and it was scarcely necessary for him to point out the impor tance of developing this branch of traffic, not only in regard to the benefit it would confer upon Ireland, but in reference to the great increase which it must bring to the nett receipts of the company. (Hear, hear.) Upon the subject of branch lines he thought much misappre hension had arisen in the public mind, and no wonder, when the injudicious manner in which they had in many cases been projected and carried out was considered. (Hear, hear.) In some instances branch lines had been constructed, the whole traffic of which, it had afterward been discovered, was merely the abstraction of so much traffic from the more direct route, while other branches had been constructed not upon the principle of remune ration for the capital expended, but on that of protection only. The result of this policy was that a feeling had obtained in the minds of most railway proprietors that branch lines were in all cases injurious and operated upon the main lino as suckers rather than feeders. (Hear, hear.) But it was not so in the case of the Chester and Holyhead Company, for it was to their branch lines that the great increase ill the local traffic was entirely owing. Take the Bangor :.11d Carnarvon branch. The receipts arising from it during the last half-year had been 8,0471., and the working expenses 4,392/. ' leaving a positive profit on the increased traffic in favour of the company, after paynymt of the rental, of 6551., and that for the worst half year ; and taking the increase they might calculate upon for the current, which was the best half year, into account, it would amount for the year, he believed, to between 1,5001. and 1,6001. And this result had been obtained with a rol ling stock by no means adequate to the enormous goods traffic which came upon this branch from the slate quarries. He had no doubt if they could supply more trucks for carrying the slate; the net receipts would be much greater. (Hear, hear.) The directors were most anxious to see that branch extended from Bangor and 1 Carnarvon to the slate quarries in the vale of Lanberris, and also a branch from Conway to the quarries of Llanrwst—if it could be dole by arrangements with the proprietors of these mineral districts, and without calling upon the Chester and Holyhead Company for any ad vance of capital. Such arrangements were in contem plation, and he hoped next session these schemes would be prosecuted in Parliament. (Hear, hear.) Looking at the present position of the company, though the pre sent accounts showed 2,0001. worse than those of the last half-year, it must be remembered that the accounts of that half-year included the traffic arising from the Dublin Exhibition and the Queen's visit ; but notwith standing that, he believed that the rapid increase in the slate and goods traffic which was going on would in the current half-year more than make up that deficiency. If his expectation in this respect should be realised (which he saw no reason to doubt) they would be enabled to pay the nine months' dividend which would then be due upon the second preference stock, as well as the whole of the current dividend upon the first preference stock. He was happy to say that eleven-twelfths of the holders of the first preference stock Lad agreed to accept second preference shares at par in liquidation of the arrears due to them, and although there was a small proportion of dissentients, all difficulty that might have been ex pected to arise from their refusal of the terms offered would be obviated by an offer which had been made by the other shareholders to tike amongst them at par the new shares so refused. He trusted, therefore, that when next the directors met the proprietors they would be in a position to report that the arrears upon the first preference had been arranged, as well as that the divi dend upon the second preference for the half-year had been earned. (Hear, hear.) One or two proprietors expressed opinions adverse to branch lines altogether, and one gentleman, while ad mitting that it would be politic to encourage them in the mineral districts, when made wholly at the cost of the mineral proprietors, drew attention to the loss which bad resulted from the Male branch. The CHAIRMAN had shown that one branch which had. been leased to this company at 4 per cent, already pro.. duced a•profit, and with regard to the Mole branch, any loss that accrued fell not upon the Chester and Holy. head, but upon the Male proprietors. The principle upon which the directors proceeded was not to incur the responsibility and expense of making the branches them selves, but to encourage their construction by the pro. prietors of the large slate quarries and mineral works in the district to construct them at their own cost, by affording facilities for working them when they were constructed, and by this means they were bringing to the main line a most profitable class of traffic. (Hear.) After some further conversation, the resolution was put and unanimously passed. The CHAIRMAN tuen proposed a resolution declaring a dividend of Bs. 3d. per snare for the half-year upon the first preference shares, which he said would be payable on and after the 30th inst. This resolution was also unanimously carried ; after a vote of th an k s to the chairman and an d his co-dire°. tors the meeting separated. BOSTON, SLEAFORD, CO TINTIES. A ND MIDLAND The half.yearly meeting of this company, which was advertised to be held yesterday at the Euston Hotel, Euston•square, was postponed in consequence of there not being a sufficient number of shareholders present. The directors' report stated that since the last half yearly meeting an arrangement had been made with the Marquis of Bristol for the purchase of that portion of his property which would be required for the purposes of the railway, on terms satisfactory to the directors, and they were about entering Into negotiations with other landowners on the line. The directors were in commu nication with the Great Northern Railway Company on the subject of working the intended line ; and, although nothing definite had as yet taken place, still they hoped the result would be an arrangement mutually advan tageous.

The Revision Court for the borough of the city and county of Bristol was opened yesterday (Tuesday) at the Guildhall, Bristol, before Mr. C. Saunders, of the west ern circuit. The objections and claims were more numer ous than usual, there being 1,966 objections and 1,120 claims, viz., Liberal householders' claims, 360 ; ditto freeholders, 40 ; ditto freemen, 16—total, 416. Conservative householders' claims, 342 ; ditto freehol ders, 202 ; ditto freemen, 160—total, 704. Liberal householders' objections, 397 ; ditto freeholders, 73 ; ditto freemen, 265—total, 735. Conservative house holders' objections, 662 ; ditto freeholders, 130 ; ditto freemen, 439—total, 1,231. Mr. Alfred Brittan, with Mr. Barker, secretary of the Liberal Association, ap peared for the Liberals ; and Mr. Easterling, secretary to the Conservative Association, for the Conservatives. There were no cases of interest throughout the day, but the learned barrister threw considerable dismay into the belligerent ranks by ordering costs for the parties where there were no grounds of objection. A JUDGMENT.—On Saturday three weeks, a young man named Thomas Chambers, of London, attended his mother's funeral at Saxon-street, Woodditton, in a dis graceful state of intoxication. Before the procession set out for the church he asked for some gin, and upon being told there was none threw a shilling upon the coffin and wished some to be sent for ; but his uncle, 15! . .. Thomas Chambers, very properly refused to allow it. On the following day, while in the churchyard, he offered with dreadful imprecations to lay half a gallon that " 1 I if he would Chambers," meaning his uncle, " would be i dead in less than three weeks, and he would go to hell if was sure to not come down and pay it if he lost ; win, for he would go to hell if he (the dead," Dreadful to say, in less than the young man himself was a corpse. , was " dead in less than three o_hisimps u the predicted time " Tom Chambers" weeks '—" howbeit he ation, the but wouldn't be meant it not so."
