The report of the directors states that the canal tolls amounted to £968, including £6OB for traffic on the Brecon Canal, and the expenses of all the canals amounted to £1,288. The traffic receipts, including canal tolls, were £11,154 less than the preceding half year, and £4,876 less than in the corresponding half of 1867. The decrease had been caused by the general strike of colliers in the company's district during the months of February, March, April, and May ; also by the closing since March of the Blaina Ironworks. The gross receipts for the half year ending the 30th of June last amounted to £66,360, against £71,227, and the working expenses to £35,695, or 534 per cent., against £34,330, or 481 per cent., leaving the net earnings £30,665 against £36,897 in the corresponding half of 1867. The proposed dividend on the ordinary shares, out of a balance of £14,120, amounted to 4 per cent. per annum, against 5 per cent. per annum in the corresponding half of 1867. The average rate of interest on the total amount of borrowed capital was £4 12s. 11d. per cent. per annum. The directors re commended that the dividend b© wade payable on the sth October next. The bill for extending the Sirhowy Railway to Newport and directing traffic from this company's railway between " Nine-mile Point" and Newport was, in consequence of the opposition of the Monmouthshire Company, rejccted by the llouse of Lords. The Newport and Usk Railway Company and the Pontypool and Caerleon and Newport Railway Company had obtained an extension of time till Midsummer, 1871 and 1872 respectively, for power to purchase lands and con struct railways. The general subscriptions to the Alexandria Docks not having yet amounted to £150,000, it would be necessary to revise a former resolution of the company, and to authorise the directors to pay calls on tbe £20,000 raised and subscribed by this company towards that under taking. The capital account to the 30th of June showed that £1,395,879 had been expended. TEN B U RY. The report of the directors of this company states that, under arrangement with the Great Western and London and North-Western Railway Compa nies, a dividend for the past half year, at the rate of three per cent. per annum, had been received from those companies, and would be paid to the shareholders. TENBURY AND BEWDLEY. The directors' report stated that the award of the arbitrator had not yet been given, and in the mean time, until it was received, the directors would only be in a position to pay a dividend at the rate of £2 15s. per cent., warrants for which would be issued as soon as the amount was received from the Great Western Railway Company. The capital account showed that £165,185 had been expended. SAMBRE AtiD MEUSE. The report of the directors states that the usual dividend payable on and after the 2d of October would be declared at the meeting to be held at Brussels on the 28th proximo, should sufficient proxies for that purpose be lodged with the secre tary ten days previously. The capital account showed that £1,108,597 had been expended. RYDE PIER. The annual meeting of this company was held at Ryde on Saturday ; Mr. Young in the chair. The report congratulated the shareholders on the satis factory state of the company, the steadily increas ing traffic, and success of the bathing stage for gentlemen erected on the east side of Victoria-pier. It regretted that the directors had been prevented by the Lords of the Admiralty from providing similar accommodation for ladies on the western side of the pier, by the interference of a very few individuals, who represented that the proposed stage would interfere with the navigation. The want of success had, it was feared, greatly in jured the town. The report recommended a divi dend at the rate of 4 per cent. A stormy discussion ensued, in the course of which the report was adopted, and the directors were re-elected. The meeting was made special, and resolutions were passed empowering the directors to raise 42,500 by mortgage, and £12,000 by the issue of new shares, to be devoted to carrying the present tramway to a point where the company are to be met by the Isle of Wight Railway. STATE OF TRADE. BRADFORD, Sept. 7.—Mr. T. A. Firth, wool broker, has held a wool sale this afternoon.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OBTAINING MONEY BY FALSE PRFTENCES.-Mr. James William Barry, a cornet in the 3,1 llussars, residing at the Craven Hotel, Strani, was chargel before Tyrwhitt with obtaining, by fa!se represen tations, the sum of £.4 123., the money of Mr. Richard Rees, bootmaker, of No. 2, Jermyn-strcet, with intent to defraud lain of the same. Mr. David R. Carr, Piet.ladilly, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marl borough-street, Nr the defence. Mr. Care having briefly opened the case, called Mr. Richard 11v2CS, who said that he supplied the prisoner with goods to the amount of £lO Bs., and on the Ist of September the prisoner drew a cheque for the sum of £l5 on Messrs. Cox and Co., Clay's court, and asked for the balance, and he gave it to him.- Subselueutly on the cheque being presented at Messrs. Cox and Co.'s it was not paid, it not being provided for. Mr. Lewis asked how ,the prisoner was apprc hende 3. Mr. Rees said he was given into custoiy. Mr. Lewis took an objection to the arrest, a war rant in such a case being necessary. Mr. Tyrwhitt held that the objection taken by Mr. Lewis was a good one, and that a warrant ought to have been obtained. Mr. Rees said he was told by the inspector at the station b give the prisoner into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner must be discharged and a warrant applied for, and the prisoner could then be taken again. Mr. Carr said he understood the prisoner was going to France. The prisoner was then discharged, and left the court while the information on which the warrant was to be obtained was being laid. BR U 1 AL MURDER NEAR AL7RINCHAM: Early yesterday morning a murder was com mitted near Altrincham, under the most atrocious circumstances. The unfortunate victim is a young man named Thomas Jenkinson, aged thirty-four, forrnan at a brickwork, and very much respected in the neighbourhood. It appears that a gang of Irish farm labourers had been drinking in Altrin cham on Saturday evening. About midnight they proceeded up Long-lane on their way to Ringway, evidently intent upon mischief. They armed them selves with brickbats and tore down pailings as they went along, attacking several persons whom they met. A farmer named John Holford, and another man, John Yesford, were both wounded, but escaped without very serious injury. Having pro ceeded up the road about three-quarters of a mile, near Claremont House, they encountered Thomas Jenkinson and two youths named John Falkner and Ward, who were on their way to co:let - nonce mushroom-gathecing at day break. With ou t an y provocation the gang of ruf fi ►ns, consisting of ten or twelve, set upon. Jenkin s na, and battered in his head with bricks and pi lings. Death must have ensued almost instantane onsly. The two youths fl x 1 and gave the alarm to the police in Altrincharn. Superintendent An Trews and Sergeant Dalton, with assistants, were soon on the track of the murderers. Seine of them were apprehended, concealed in the outbuildings of the neighbouring farms, and 531113 were taken in Al trinchana. Three were apprehended near Lymm, through the timely information of a cabman, who happened to have heard of the murder, and was on the alert. One of the ruffians was secured by Su perintendent Andrews, after a desperate resistance. Sergeant Dalton was also the means of capturing another under similar circumstances. The eight prisoners who have been so rapidly an I energeti cally captured will, we understand, be brought up this (Tuesday) morning for examination at Altrin chain. It appears that the two youths referred to will be able to identify at least seven of the pri soners. The police were all day scouring the coun try in search of the remainder of the gang. The murder is one of unprecedented atrocity, there having been no provocation, and it has produced a feeling of intense horror in the district.—Munchester Examiner. PROTRACTED DISCUSSION ON THE IRISH CHURCH. —An instance of the interest taken in the pro - vinces in the Irish Church question is afforded by a meeting which has just taken place at Torquay, and which lasted from seven o'clock in the evening until two next morning. The Revs. Joseph Bardsley and C. Williams were announced to meet for discussion on the subject, and the crowd assembled to hear them was immense. Holders of tickets and non-holders pressed forward in a heavy column, and the ticket-collectors and policemen Assembly-room was soon dense l y t h ronge d . M r. were carried bodily away. Every part of the Bardsley having given a lecture, there was a spirited discussion on the right of the Irish Church to national property. During the dis cussion Mr. Williams quoted " Selden on the Origin of Tithes," and produced the passage writ ten on a piece of paper. Mr. Bardsley refused to accept it, demanding the book itself. At this the audienca rose en m asse, an d w i t h ye lli ng an d shouting quite drown e d all the spea k ers cou ld say . The gas was lowered, and a rush made to the doors. The meeting arated at two o'clock in the morning in the mo s t di sor d er l y manner. THE RELATIONS OF LANDLORDS AND TENANTS IN IRELAND.—The Liverpool Albion publishes a correspondence between the Duke of Manchester and a gentleman who wrote to his grace on the subject of the relations of landlords and tenants in Ireland. The correspondence appears to have had special reference to the question of leases, and the recent quarrel between Mr. W. Scully and his tenants. In one letter the duke says all good landlords universally condemn the conduct of Mr. W. Scully. In another his grace remarks :--^-‘ 4 I do not advocate the extension of the Ulster tenant right, for it is very disadvantageous to the tenant. It necessitates his sinking a large portion of his capital (never less than £5 per acre, and generally more) in the farm, in a way that can never bring any profit. The only p erson it can benefit is the landlord, for it secure s hi m f ro m auy danger o f loss in arrears of rent. It often prevents a tenant from increasing the extent of his holding, which a landlord is always anxious to enable a good tenant to do, and makes it impossible in most cases for farmers to stock their farms sufficiently with cattle and horses, in consequence of which the land is likely not to be sufficiently manured, and the crops cannot be carried at the most favourable opportunity." A Florence letter in the Presse gives an explana tion of Garibaldi's motives for sending in his re signation as Deputy :—" The hero of Mentana," it says, "only turned his back on his friends of the Left anti gave up his seat in order to abstain from being present at the sittings of the little Parlia ment which is shortly to assemble at Naples. The friends of the General had reckoned much on the prestige of his name, and still more on his presence, to arouse the apathy of the populations in the south. But Garibaldi, who has a horror of all discussions, who is as discontented with the Ministers as with his pretended friends, and can not find epithets severe enough to qualify the cowardice of the revolutionists, suddenly withdrew. During the last few months those who have made pilgrimages to Caprera have had to return without being able to see their idol, who closes his door against every one. his melancholy and bitterness besides proves that the man feels deeply the state of prostration in which Custozza, Lissa, and Men tana have cast his country.

ANGLO-AMERICAN TELEGRAPHIC COMPANY. The ordinary general . meeting of the proprietors of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern ; Sir Richard Glass in the chair. The report, which was read by the Secretary, stated that as the current financial year would not terminate until the 30th of April, 1869, the direc tors had no accounts to submit to this meeting. The directors had decided to pay a dividend on ac count of 103. per share, free of income tax, to b. declared out of the receipts for the three mouths ending the 31st Gf July, pursuant to article 167 of the articles of association as altered at the last meeting of the shareholders. The receipts accruing to the Anglo-American and Atlantic Telegraph Companies from the cables from the Ist of May to the 31st of July had averaged £496 10s. per day ; one of the cables only being occupied in earl-l ing this amount from four to six hours per day. The working of the traffic was now in charge of the joint committee of directors of this company and the Atlantic Company, appointed under the agreement of the 29th of May. They had just resolved, with the consent of the New York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph 'Company, to reduce the tariff on the Ist September next to £3, plus the land charges at each si.le, for a message of ten words not exceeding 50 letters, address, date and, signature not exceeding five words, free ; this would make the charge £3 7s 61 between Great Britain and Ireland and New York. The directors regretted to have to inform the shareholders that the cable of 1860 suddenly ceased to work at 12.35 p.m. on the 3d of August. Tests were immediately made by the Superintendents at Valentia and Heart's Content stations, and they located the break between 85 =l9O miles from Heart's Content, measured along the cable (being about that spot where the second acci dent occurred to the same cable last year.) These tests had since been confirmed by the electricians sent from London for the purpose. The joint committee of both companies had entered into a contract with the Telegraph Construction land Maintenance Company to despatch the steamer Hawk, under the command of Captain Halpin, with an experienced staff of engineers and electri cians on board, to pick up and repair the broken cable. The CHAIIDIAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that the proprietors would see by that document that the receipts from the Ist of May to the 31st of July averaged £496 10s. per day, under the £5 tariff. The board had felt from time to time the necessity of reducing the amount of the tariff, both with the view of serving the public and avoiding competition, and they had consequently tried the experiment, and he was happy to say that the few days during which it had been in opera tion had been sufficient to show that they had adopted a wise course. On the Ist instant, which was the day on which the £3 tariff came into opera tion, the net receipts were £5ll 4s. 103., on the 2d they were £545 4s. 5,1., on the 3d £526 165., on the 4th £531 45., and on the sth £517 63. 9d., showing that the reduction had resulted in a con siderable increase in the net returns, and he felt little doubt that in all reasonable reductions the shareholders would receive the benefit as well as the public. 'With regard to the accident which had happened to the cable, he said that he, having had great experience in cables of a similar kind, was thankful that accidents dil not occur more fre quently. As it was at the same spot where the previous accident had occurred, the board had given instructions that soundings should be taken in the neighbourhood, and the nature of the bottom ascertained. It was the intention of the directors to keep a ship, with proper hands on board, at St. John's or heart's Content, so that in the event of an accident it might be repaired in two or three days. Although his would entail some expense, it would be in the shape of assuranre, and the outlay would not fall entirely upon this company, a 3 the Newfoundland Company would join them in it. Mr. Pickersgill Cunliffe seconded the motion, and it was carried. The retiring directors, Mr. F. A. Bevan and Mr. 11. Bewley, and the retiring auditors, Mr. Joshua Dean and Mr. Francis Glass, having been_unani mously re-elected, The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. The Governor of Lithuania, Potapoff, has issued the following proclamation :—" In my cir cular of the 22nd March of this year, I ordered that fines should be inflicted on all persons found guilty of using the Polish language. I clearly laid it down that no one should use in public the Polish language. It is said that the prohibition applies to the use of the language in official matters, in the church, in the theatre, in the s reets. As lam now informed many Polish in habitants set at naught this prohibition, and ap pear not to understand it, I am thereby compelled to declare the meaning of my circular of the 22nd of March. It is by that circular most strictly forbidden to use the Polish language in any public place, namely in the church, in the street, in hotels, inns, offices, sugar-bakeries, coffee-houses, restorateurs, wine-shops, beer -houses, promenades, gardens, in any shops, printing-offices, photo graphic institutions, and in general in any places where the public enter or assemble. Moreover it is not permitted to speak Polish in a private house when more than two persons are together. It is only allowed in the closest family intimacy, namely, between man and wife, parent and child, within the walls of a private house, to speak Polish. This order shall be strictly obeyed, and such fines enforced as shall be a serious punishment to the guilty." A communication from Prague says :—" The Czech Opposition, in presenting to the Diet the declaration ofithe eighty-two Deputies, has played its last card. That step, as was easy to be fore seen, has raised in the Vienna journals a tempest hitherto unexampled in the long conflict between Austrian Germanism and Bohemian nationality. However, do not allow yourself to be misled by the assertions of those organs which pretend that the act in question expresses solely the opinion of those men who signed the manifesto and of a small circle of their partisans. The country is with these latter, and the disposition predominates even more generally in the provinces than in the capital. There are, indeed, in the smaller towns and rural districts causes of discontent felt more directly than in Prague. The crop has been very bad this year ; the taxes are becoming more and more heavy, and when to those facts arc added the numerous prosecutions for participation in meet ings, an idea may be formed of the state of feeling in the country. The Czech Deputies, in acting as they have done, have only been the interpreters of public opinion. Telegrams from all the towns and communes of Bohemia are arriving daily to express an entire approval of the declaration. The Diet, which is now only a German assembly, in conse quence of the withdrawal of the Czechs, has just adjourned for a week in order to give the com mittees time to complete their labours." An international exhibition of agriculture is organised to take place at St. Petersburg next spring. The date of opening is fixed for the 17th May. LIBERATION OF CAPT. JOHNSTON, OF TIIE TORY. —Many will remember the celebrated trial of Capt. George Johnston, of the ship Tory, accused before the Central Criminal Court of London, upwards of 20 years ago, of murder and cruelties on the high seas. The trial awak ened intense interest at the time, and ended in a verdict of guilty, with the qualification that Captain Johnston was of unsound mind. Ho was, therefore, ordered to bo confined during her Majesty's pleasure, and has since been an inmate of Bethlehem Asylum till 1860, and in another since that date. Captain Johnston being a native of this country, and there being a strong impression that he was completely restored, au effort, headed by Captain Mac dona!d, of Sandside, was made in 1858 to obtain his libera tion, and a petition to her Majesty, with several thousands of signatures, was forwarded, but without effect. Recently the Earl of Caithness Las taken great interest in his behalf, and the result is, that after up wards of twenty years' confinement, Captain Johnston was on Saturday last set at liberty under certain sure ties on his account. Ho is at present in London, along with his wife and other relatives, and from all wo can learn ho is in the enjoyment of excellent health.—Nor thern Ensign. uOLUNIaL UOVICIINIIISNT SECUMTI.I:6. - Iritivat Columbia, 6 per eent.,1872.... ...... ..! 100 - t)o 1895 - - an.Gov.6 p.c.Ja.& J uly 1877-84 .o. 6p. o.

The potato trade is extremely unsatisfactory, and the prospect most unpromising. The supplies of English Re gents are very limited and very small, as well as indifferent in quality, even as regards the best samples. These sell sell slowly, at £7 to £8 per ton, and aro dear at that ; seeond sorts, £6 to £7. English rock also come to hand very bad, and:for best samples £ I to £5 are the current rates. Middlings are plentiful, forming nearly the whole of the present supplies of English. These meet a sluggish demand at £3 lOs to _.£4 lOs for Regents, and £3 to £3 lOs for Rocks. Of Shaws there are more in the market. Flukes make a miserable show, small nu shapeable and unsightly, and they hang on hand at £6 to £3 per ton. The foreiga supplies are all worse than the English, from the prevalence of dis:nse. During the past week or ten days not a sample has arrived from Franca, Belgium, or Holland, but that has consisted of from one to three-fourths, blights. Prices can hardly be quoted, but £5 and £4 is obta'ned with difficulty for the best sample. Chats aro the only sort in demand, and in these there is a a good trade doing at 30s to 40s per ton. The supplies of green stuffs have become very short, and are coining to hand much worse in quality owing to the return of hot, dry weather. Cabbages sell at 2s to 4s per dozen head, greens 4s to Ga per dozen bunches, carrots 4s to Gs per dozen bunches, and loose £7 to £8 per ton; turnips, 6s to 12a per dozen bunches; onions very short, and bringing £8 to £9 pet ton ; vegetable marrow very plentiful and lower in price, 2s to 3s present quotation ; celery, is to 2s per bundle.

LIFE BRIGADES.—The annual meeting of the Tynemouth Life Brigade was held in the Town-hall of that borough:on:Friday night, the Rev. H. Hicks iu the chair. A very satisfactory report was read by Mr. J. F. Spence, the secretary. The Tynemouth Life Brigade was the first Volunteer corps of the kind formed is the kingdom for the rescue of life from shipwreck. At South Shields there is also a large brigade, and both the North and South Shields Brigades aro in a high state of efficiency, and have watchhouses and the most improved apparatus for saving life kept in readiness in them. Since the for mation of the Tynemouth brigade 130 corps of the same character have been established on various parts of the coast of the United Kingdom. They co-operate with the coastguard in case of wrecks, and are inspected annually by officers from the Board of Trade, who make each corps a grant towards its establishment expenses. A new fever hospital, containing 28 beds on the ground floor and five small wards above, has just been erected at Chester, in connection with the General Hospi tal. The cost is about £2,500, and £5OO was contributed by the family of the late Mrs. Wood, in accordance with a wish which she had expressed, that a proper fever hospital should be built in Chester. THE " POTATO RIOT" IN CORK.—The Northern Whig says that a good deal has been made in the English journals of what has been called a " potato riot" in Cork, with fighting and all its accompaniments, to as extent that could hardly have been recognisable in Ireland. The thing altogether was very much exaggerated, though there seems to have been some little disturbance caused by per sons breaking into a potato market. Nothing serious, however, occurred. A WILD ENGLISHMAN IN FRANCE.—The Journal de Manners describes as follows the astonishment caused in that village by the sudden apparition of a strange Eng lishman in the River Sarthe : —"Some workmen were em ployed in the construction of the new bridge of Juille, when one of them, raising his hand, cried out, " A wild man.' And so his fellow-workmen might well believe, for at a little distance on the Sartho they saw a man, very thinly clad, wearing an extraordinary headdress, and rowing a long narrow boat with great dexterity. A dog was his only companion. At the bridge there was a dam, which seems to present an insurmountable obstacle to the hardy navigator, but he jumped into the water with his dog, got over the barrier of timber, and pulling his boat over also, he continued his voyage. A few minutes after a fashionable coupe fromAlencon arrived on the old bridge with a young and handsome lady. Recognitions were ex changed between this lady and the seemingly wild man, which showed that they were old acquaintances." This "wild" Englishman is described by the French journals as "Sir Wallace," and is stated to have come down the river Sartho from Alencon to Maus, and preceding towards the Loire. THE RISE OF THE NILE. —The preparatory work for bringing the waters of the Nilo into the canals has just taken place with the usual rejoicings. The ceremony was presided over by Cherif Paella. Several ministers and high functionaries from Alexandria were present, as well as an immense concourse of spectators. There were some short time back fears of an insufficiency of water for agri cultural purposes ; but those doubts have been dissipated by tel,gra.rns from Assouard, the river having risen higher than at the same period last year. There is consovently a certitude for an abundant irrigation, and the great works executed for strengthening the dykos have removed all danger of a rupture. ROUGH PlETV.—Having been in the habit, anti that before the time of Captain Cattle, of making a note of things which struck mo in my stirlies, I found the ether day, upon looking over some oil papers, the following stanza from somo hymn, which I scud for the eat artaiu milt of your readers. Fi . o:n what it is taken, I know not, but have no scruple in transcribing it; as, however, a!)- surd, it clearly was not meant to be profane, and must have been the production of some locksmith, who applied the ideas and phrases of his art to pnrposos of theology : " My soul is like a rusty lock, .Lord, oil it with Thy grace: 0 rub it, rub it, rub it, Lord, That we may tee Thy face."
