The usual half-yearly general meeting of the pro prietors of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway, was held this afternoon, at the Bridge House Hotel ; Mr. Samuel Laing, chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, the common seal was affixed to the register of shareholders, after which the report of the directors was read, from which we make the following extracts : "The acceunts fir the ha'f-year ending 31st December, 1349, aro subjoined, and show the following results:— " Capital account—The amount of capit3.l raised up to tho 31st D:cember, 1849, is 7,046,1684., consisting of— Loan eapitli £1,392,938 Prete? e - Icc share capital 1,037,596 Ordinary share capital £7,046,168 The whole of this amount, includinc , 85,960/. ex re bled on the London-bridge Station Enlargement, now in progress, is treated as productive, and the intere t or divand ncreon charged to revenue. Of this capital there has been expended during the past half-Jeer 70,75C1, of which 17,719/. is for land and works on the Portsmouth Est msion, and 43,188/. for the London bridge Station Enlargement. The purchase of the land for the latter work being completed, and the principal contract for the arches and masonry being let, the direc tors have the satisfaction of stating that the estimate given by them in October, 1848, of 7,200,0001. fir the completion of all the company's. undertakings, will not only not be exceeded, but that a sufficient margin will remain to provide the additional plant, rendered neces sary by the great increase of goods traffic consequent on the opening of the Bricklayer's Arms Station and the Thames Juncticn Branch. " REVENUE ACCOUNT. " 1. Traffic.—The tail receipts for the half-yelr have been 286,3581., showing an increase of 27,7551. over the corresponding half-year of 1848, of which, however, 3,3851. is for cartage in collection and delivery cf goods, which Lai been undertaken by the company since March, 1849, and therefore forms no feature of comparison. Ex cludiLg this item, the increase fur the half. year over the corresponding half-year cf 1848, has been 24,3701., or at the rate 0t* , ..) per ceLt. Of this increase 14,0001., or at the rate of seven par cent., i 3 on the ordinary pas senger traffi..; 1,8531., or 31 per cent. on the receipts from perieclic-.1 tickets; and 8,3701, or 21 per cent. on the goods trallie.

This will leave 112,200/. available for divi- Ce - id on 4,615,63.11. cf ordinary capital, out of which the directors recommend a dividend of 2/. 8.. per cent. for e l a . f-year, amounting t.) 110,7841., leaving a balance to the cretht cf the current half-year of 1,4164 _ _ _ " The directors recommend that the reserve fund and the interest accruing thereon should be invest:43, from time to time, in the company's eebenturos, or other ap proved securities, and keit quite distinct from the other accounts of the company; and t'lat no transfer from the reserve fund, in aid of any account, should be peraiittrd without a special resolution of a meeting of the pro prieters. " The tot 0 provision against depreciation made in the year 1849, including the sum actually expended and that proposed to be set aiirle at a reserve, will amount to 34927/. The line ii in gnod order, and the working stock is 12rger and snore efficient than at any previous priod. At the lag, hali-yearly meeting a t7t.llle arran_4ement was sanctioned with the Direct Portsmouth Railway Company for et orkizz the Lhort portion of their projected line between Epsoi and Le,:s.therhead. The construc tion cf this portion by the Direct Portsmouth Co m p an y I eying been prevented by an injunction in Chancery,. sine a-range:rent bus fallen to the ground, and the Direct Portsmouth Company are applying to Parliament for a Bill to abandon tt e undertaking. Under these circum stances the directors do not recommend the proprietors to take any further .t, , pi is reerence to the matter. " The sum advaread by the London, Brighton, and South Cc a 1 Railway Company to the Brighton and Continental Ste:x.l Packet Cemrany, has been repaid. " Two vacancies having occurred in the direction in the course cf the Ea t half-year, by the sudden and lamented deaths of John Lawrie, and William Cash, Esql., they have been filled by the election of Beaumont itanke3, Eiq., and Charles Lushington, Esq., M.P. "Le ► Schuster, Esq., John Nix, Esq., and Charles Lushington, Esq., M.P., retire by rotation, and being eligible for re-eietton, eller themselves accordingly. John Urpeth Restrick, Esq., Eai also declared himself a candidate." The report cf the professional account tuts on the ac counts for the hal!-y a: ending 31st Dee,mber, 1849, ai as fo:lows: " lavirg comp'eed our audit of the accounts of your company for the halnyesr ended 31st Dzcember, 1849, we beg to report to you the result c f Oil' labours. We find the published statements, intended to bo laid Moro the shareholders on the 29th inst., t) be in due accordance with tee boeks of the company; and that tete books themselves are adequately supported by original vouchers; in the instances cf payment* for land purchaser, the deeds cf conveyance of the several pre pertiea have been produced to us. " We have not failed to consider the appropriation made of the half-year's expenditure under the several heads of capital and revenue; and we find the accounts to be correctly kept and stated in this respect, subject nevertheless to the following question, which appears to us to involve an important principle, and which we submit for ceasideration. "The question we allude to is, whether the sum charged to revenue for repairs and renewals of rolling stock, is as equivalent for the amount of loss occasioned by the traffic? The principle acted upon by this company, in order to provide such equivalent, being to maintain the efficient value of the stock out of revenue, by means of repairs, renewals, and additions, and net by means of a reserved fund; it is of especial importance that no ea penditure of that sort be charged against capital that does not effect a positive addition to the stock, over and above its rcstoratior, out of revenue, to a state of com plete aid original efficiency ; upon what is the fact in I his respect, appears to us, to depend the propriety or otherwise of charging to capital the cost of three new engines and tenders (about 6,0000, which have been received jet Otcck during the half-year. It appears to us an essential condition cf the safe working of the principle adopted by the company, that the capital should net be chaeged with the cost of new engines, that do not "form an addition to the number originally possessed by the company, and charged to capital account; according to this view, the cost of the three engines in question should be charged to revenue, inasmuch as (we are given to understand) they do not equal the number of engines which have teen worn out and destroyed. "In conrexion with, and as illustrative of this ques tion, we notice the fact, that one locomotive engine has been broken up during the half-year. " With respect to the sums charged to capital for timber trucks, coal waggons, and for stock for collection and delis cry cf goods, we are informed that they consti tute additions ti the stock, which have been rendered necessary by the increasing goods traffic of the company. " Under the head of Carriage and Wagon Repairs, the actual talf-year's outlay is diminished in the ac counts to the extent of something short cf 1,0004 This arises in consequence of the stock of stores belonging to that de; artmert having been more fully and accu rately taken than formerly. The effect of that proceed ing is properly enough set forth under the Lead of Revenue. We notice the circumstance as one which aff,ets the eiew of the net earnings of this particular half-year. " We are pleased to have it in oar power to state that the accounts of the company are kept with great care diligence, and intelligence, and altogether reflect the greatest credit on the officers concerned in that depart ment of the company's business." The CHAIRMAN pointed out to the meeting that the professional accountants had not contented them selves with simply auditing the figures in th e ac counts, but they had gone into the question of expe_ diency in the expenditure, and the mode of keeping the accounts. The result of their inquiry must be as satisfactory to the shareholders as it was con firmatory of the soundess of the policy which the directors pursued in keeping the accounts. With regard to the paragraph in the last report, relating to the engines, ho maintained that they had been pro perly charged. At present the company had 1 1.5 engines, considerably more than was necessary for the efficient working of the line, and some of them were now for sale. The directors, therefore, had charged the actual stock in use to revenue, and that was all revenue could be e xpected to bear, for when the surplus stock of engines was sold, the amount would be written off against capital and not against revenue. The fact of their being overstocked with engines arose out of past mismanagement, before he kcame connected with the line, and he could not be held answerable for it. The propri e t ors wou l d per ceive by the capital account, that a sum of T 200 000/ would be more than snfficitnt t o complete all the . works-of the line, and close the account altogether, and he c3u! , l a, sure the shareholders that the opinion thus stated in the report was founded up on accurate and un questioneble data. At a f ormer meeting the directors =rave an estimate of the amount that would be required is complete all their works. That esti mate had a're ad y been exceeded by some 44.0001., but still the tlirectc rs were prepared to pledge them selves that the capital account could be finally closed with an additional expenditure of 7,200,0 CW., and Ewaplrie,a_fr a sufficient ma'gin in surplus land, to provide -,,*contingencies. He fully anticipated that be j_;,,,,,,-fia‘rOhe year closed they would be in a position t o *f provision fox the whole of their ion-capita], / ±~~~i~ `may ;'~/" TUE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY r at a rate of interest not exceeding four per cent., and thus prevent in future their being overtaken by such a crisis as that which occurred in the year 1848. The directors had gone through the receipts and expenditure of recently opened lines, which at first were always looked upon as incubi upon the main line, and the result was highly satis factory; the worst of them, namely, the Newhaven branch, yielding a return of 3 per cent. on the cost of construction. The excursion traffic during the past half-year had greatly increased, and the result of an inquiry which the directors had instituted into the effect which the excursion trains had upon the ordi nary traffic, had satisfied them that it diminished it in no degree whatever. It must, therefore, be highly gratifying to the shareholders that the company had been enabled to afford so much pleasure to the indus trious classes of the metropolis, not only without loss, but with a respectable profit, while an increase in the accommodation g iven to the public on the Epsom branch, by a reduction of the fare and an increase of trains, had certainly resulted in no loss to the company, if it had not secured a profit. The ex penditure was so fully gone into in detail in the report, that it was only necessary to point to the general result. It was• shown in the report, that the saving in expenditure over the year 1848 amounted to 15,0001,, which had been expended in the renewal c f working stock and adopting the prin ciple cf a reserved fund, which was recommended at the last meeting; he saw no difficulty in the way of their ultimately closing the capital account and charging everything to revenue. The amount ad vanced to the Brighton and Continental Steam Packet Company had been repaid, the directors con senting to forego the claim of this company for in terest ; and when he looked at the legal difficulties which must have stood in the way of their recovering the money at law, he felt that the conclusion which had been come to was highly advantageous to them selves. A PROPRIETOR wished the Chairman to state the result of the working on the Horsham line. The CHAIRMAN was glad his attention had been directed to that branch. It returned a profit of Si. per cent. on the cost of expenditure. A mistaken impression prevailed out cf doors that this line had been ruined by its branches, the fact was these branches were all of them remunerative: With re gard to the question of Government audit he would simply mention these facts. No less than a million of money had been expended by the company in Par liamentary contests, while the line itself was taxed at the rate of 40,000/., and were it not for the interest they had to provide for this useless and unproductive expenditure, the company at this moment might be dividing six per cent. Upon the matter cf future prospects he did not like to indulge in predictions, but with the increase that was going on in building property in the various coast towns which the line accommodated, he saw no reason why their receipts should not go on gradually progressing. The ex press trains to Brighton had greatly accelerated bringing that town within forty instead of fifty miles of the metropolis. This accelerated speed had not been obtained by an increase in the cost cf working, it was produced by diminishing the stoppages, and it was likely to prove as remunerative to the company as it was advantageous to the public. lle concluded by moving the adoption of the report. In reply to questions from Captain KELLY, The CHAIRMAN said he could gi►e no estimate of the value of surplus land, but it yielded a rental cf 4,0001. a year. his impression was, that it was worth about 40,0001. As regarded the number and description of the rolling stock, the shareholders would ;find a statement upon that head in a former report of the company. The directors, however, had under their consideration the propriety of giving more detailed information in their accounts ; and he hoped the improvement would be brought into opera tion next half-year. He proposed to recommend the proprietors to put aside 15,0001. a year until such a sum was accumulated as would enable theni to pro vide for all new works and cuntingencies, without making calls upon .the proprietors. The company had Parliamentary 'powers more than sufficient to raise, either by loan or :shares, one million four hundred thousand. The Portsmouth station, in round ;numbers, would cost 50,0001, of which the company would contribute one half, and the South- Western the other half. Mr. LEVY objected to the reserved fund. All the earnings ought to be divided amongst the share holders of the day, and leave all contingencies to be providded for by loans or calls. But if they must have a reserved fund, why should not the preferential shares contribute to it ? Just let him put this case. They paid the chairman 1 .5001. last year. Now, suppose they said to him this year, " Mr. Laing, we will give you 8001., and the balance of 7001. some other time. You managed very well year, but you may hive contingencies next, and we keep the 7001. to provide for them." Well, that was just it hare, and he hoped they would have no reserved fund. Mr. Alderman WILSON moved as an amendment that the report be adopted, with the exception of the paragraph relating to the depreciation fund, and that the 15,0001. he divided amongs the shareholders as flu- as it was divisible. Mr. WOOD seconded the amendment. Mr. Smrra wished to know how long they were to set aside the 15,0001. a rear ? The CHAIRMAN could not tell at present. A PROPRIETOR asked if a vote would be taken every year upon the question of the reserved fund ? The CHAIRMAN replied in the affirmative, adding that when the proprietors thought the fund was getting too large they could stop it. Af. er some further diseuision the amendment was put and negatived by a large majority, and the report adopted in its integrity. On the motion of the CELAIRM IN it was then re solved, ",That 15,0001. be set apart towards a reserved fund, and be invested in the company's debentures, or other approved securities, in the names of three trustees, and that no part of such reserved fund be transferred without the consent of a special meeting called for that purpose, and that the accruing interest from time to time be also so invested." The dividend was then declared payable on tbe sth of February next. A resolution was then passed authorising the con solidation into stock of such of the eighth shares D created on the 19th of August, 1846, in respect of which the whole of the calls shall be then paid up ; and also to determine upon th 2 consolidation into a six per cent. stock of such of the six per cent. shares G- created on the 27th of May, 1848, in respect of which the whole of the calls shall be then paid up. The retiring directors were then re-elected, and a vote of confidence in the direction, and thar k 3 to the chairman having been unanimously passed, the meet ing terminated. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) IN THE MATTER OF BARBER. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS (in contintue tion from our Afternoon Edition) said—With regard to the charge that Barber called himself an agent for the insurance company when he was no longer so, it was true that he had not done anything for the company, but he still re tained the insignia of office, as he migt t call them—the books and pripsre, and ho never had resigned the office of agent. This very Stiddolph, ef,er Mr. Barber's return to London from transportation, called upon him to proffer him his warmest sympathy, and if he tgain got into practice, to promise his best support. It must he borne in mind that throughout all the affidavits which had been made to contradict Jr. Barber's ttaaement, they had never given a whole letter, but only certain excerpta cf letters, such as suited their eau purposes; and it must also be borne in mind that Mr. Barber bad to answer these affidavits entirely from memory, and without any books or papers to help him, at a distance of 12 years, f Air of which had been spent in acute mental agony. If they were to believe Mr. Stiddolph, after he had suspected that Barber had been appropriating the premiums all communication ceased between them; this was untrue, fer it appeared that from December, 1841, to Apri', 1842, the two were in constant communication, both persona'ly and by letter, relating to the sale of an estate, and yet Mr. Stiddolph swears that to the best of his knowledge from March, 1841, Le never had any com munication with him. With respect to the pamphlet which bad been mentioned, it was Mr. Barber's proper course to take to set his case before the community— Sir F. THESIGER said that he must certainly interrupt his Learned Friend ; he had had sufficient latitude already. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS—Not an inch of latitude. Sir F. THESIGER—WeII, longitude, then. Mr. Sergeant Wieser-es—My Learned Friends have certainly the advantage of me there. Well, then, with regard to Stiddolph, it seems to me that when he swears that he paid Barber the 51, it could not have been a simple mistake; the Learned 'Master did not be lieve him. Was it a deficiency of memory when he swore that he had E 0 correspondence with Barber Efter Al arch, 1841? Which of the two men would a dispassion ate man believe ? Ile had now gone through the whole case, and it now only remained for him to show the Court what they had a right to demand —how Mr. Bar ber had conducted himself during his absence from this country. (The Learned Sergeant was about to read some extracts from the pamphlet published by Mr. Bar ber, when he was interrupted by Mr. Justice I'ATTEsox enquired whether what his Learned Friend was about to read were affidavits? Mr. Sergeant WILKINS.—NO, my Lent they are cer tificates from persons t f high respectability, who had means of observing Mr. Barber's conduct abroad. Mr. Justice PATTESON said—lt was vita contrary to the practice ef this Court to receive certifii ates. If the Learned Gentleman wished it, ho was quite at liberty to stets that Mr. Barber, during his absence, had con ducted himself well and orderly. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS Laid there were v eak terms itidetd. Ile prayed the Cent t to receive Cu se, documents, as he thought that if it re festal them their Lordships would not t ave sufficient infermatien to guide them in forming their judgment. Mr. Justice PATTESON raid that it wus certainly quite contrary to the practice of the Court. There were persons at a long distance, and as there were only certificates they could not be received by the Court. Sergeant WANzis ;Aid %bat be s l l9uid 1191 tempt to dispute the ruling of the court; and he could only repeat what he bad before said, that be was only restrained from protesting against all this inquiry, from a desire that Mr. Barber's conduct should be fully in vestigated. He also wished to observe that all the alle gations were out of their Lordships' jurisdiction—that the allegations had all of them been sufficiently met to disprove them. These were the whole of the remarks which he bad to offer. The Learned Sergeant then sat down, having spoke to-day mote than three hours. Sir F. THESIGER commenced by remarking that, as his Learned Friend Sergeant Wilkins had taken up so much time in his address, he must endeavour to com press his remarks in as small a space as possible. Ho extremely regretted that his Learned Friend had so iden tified himself with the present case, as it rendered it extremely difficult fur him to meet his Learned Friend upon the ground which he had selected. In the first place, he must repudiat3 the charge which bad been thrown out by his Learned Friend against the Master, and he deplorel that his Learned Friend should have indulged in the remarks which he had done against the pu rity and integrity of the judgment t. which he had come. His Learned Friend had taken very bold ground indeed when he said that Mr. Barber lal a right to plead his pardon in fleing him entirely from all charges. Ile did not at all wish to destroy the proper impression which the pardon ought t) have upon their minds, pro vided that bis Learr el Friend did not push it so far as to plead that it extended so far as t) entitle him t ) cla'm his certificate as a man who had never been guilty of aay crimes. Theynow tame to consider the charges which hal been brought against Mr. Barber, in all of which, though he was :aid to be an innocent and deceived man, he must be rardoned if he thought that he was some thing more. In defending himself Mr. Barber had an advantage, which had been taken to the full by his counsel, namely, that the whole materials for his answers were drawn from his own affidavits. The LEARNED GENTLEMAN then proceeded to review at length the different will fsageries with which Mr. Barber was charged with having guilty knowledge. He untended that it was almost impossible for a man who, like Mr. Barber, had been described as " a man of cau tion, curious, and investigating," not to have some know ledge at many stages that fraud was intended ; in par ticular, the handwriting t f the three forged wills were precisely the same, and that might have excited any man's suspicion. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS hero observed that Sir F. Thesiger was travelling out of the line of the Master's report. The Master explained ti a'. the similarity of the hand bad excited his a teetioe, but he had not made it the subject of comment in his report. Sir F. TRESIGER then prccccded to comment upon the case of Robins' executor. He contended that in this ewe Mr. Barber had lent himself to the conceal ment f Fletcher's name, and he could not have done so bad he not believed th;..t it was a discreditable transac tion. Mr. Barber most certainly have been aware that this could have been the onty reason for conceelment. Then, again, to insert Mr. Tarrall'e name i❑ an agre_- meet of such a nature was, t 3 lay the least of it, discreditable to any professional man. With all this fresh in his mind, Hunter was introduced to Mr. Barber, who without further inquiry takes it in hand. In this case, as well as in Stuart's, 151. as payment for legacy duty is charged by Mr. Barber in his bill, which legacy duty had never been paid. Mr. Barber must ei.her have considered that it was net likely he should ever be pressed as to the non-payment of tl e legacy duty by the persons who were joined with him in the fraud, or he must still have shut his eyes and considered this an honest transaction. He could not clear himself from the imputation of misap propriating his client's money, and as such he was un worthy of having his certificate issued to him t. practise as an att3rney. The Learned Gent!eman then proceeded at some length to investigate the case of Slack, horn which ha inform,' that to slurp( se Barber ha I relieved the entire genuineness c f Fletcher's information was to suppose that he was thither more nor less than wilfully blind, and had lent himself a willing instrument in Fletcher's hands. At this time he could no longer have been ignorant—his eyes must have been open, and if he Ia I been a fair, of honest a'- ing man, be would not have proceeded any fart! ee in such transartton without inquiry. He thought the Court would see now with the light which had been thrown upon the train a tion, that the verdict which had been solemnly delivered was a just and a right ore, and he thought that it was quite impossible for his Le kilted Friend to prove to the Court that his client was entitled to a certificate of practice unless he could prove that this verdict was an erroneousone. The3e were all the observa tions which he had to offer upon the forgery part of the case. The Court here observed that as the case could not be terminated that day it would be advisable for Sir F. Thersiger to break off here. _ _ Mr. SERGEANT WILKINS appealed to Vie Coin t to grant a day after Term to Icy tying the remainder of the arguments. Mr. Ju: tice PATTESON observed that this would be impossible he thought. Af;er some discussion it was arranged to settle to morrow on what eay to take the remainder cf the ar gument. The Court then rose at Five o'clock. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Jan. 29.) Soostn.—To-clay West Ind'a Sugar was purchased with caution both for the scale and rcfiuing purpo.es whits', merchants were disposed to realize. and submitted to a reduction on Friday's rates cf6d per cit; but the lower sorts are the most difficult to dispose (f. A public salt.. ( f 143 hhds litres Barbed( es went at bteady rates for fine, but at a reduction of 6i per cwt !or other sorts; middling to fine yellow realized 38s to 425, and low 37s to 37s 6.). In all tc-day only 330 hhds and trcs were sold. REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar met with little at tention for home trade purpcses, a'id lower rate; wcie acceded to; brown Lumps sold at 49s to 49s 6d, and fair grocery at 50s 6d to 5I F. The market fur Cru.hed Sugar ha; been quiet, with sellers of British ai 29, Gd to 30s Gd. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was not a better demand for Mauritius Sugar, and at a public sale of 2,54 G bags 156 casks, a small part only sold et barely former rates; yellow at 37s to 41s 6J, brow, very low, 27s 6d, ordinary 31s 6d 0 325, good and tine 35s to 36s 63, and strong grainey grey 41s 61 to 42s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This af.ernoon there was little disposi tion evinced to ()prate in Bengal Sugar. At public sale 5,760 bags were offered, and not above half sold at 6d per cwt decline ; and fair to fine white Benares realised 403 to 425, low 395, damp and washed 37s 6d to 41s ed, fine yellow, like Mauritius, ass Gi to 39663, low and mid 35, to 35s 6d, fine strong yellow, small grain 43s to 433 6d, fine strong white 49s to 493 61. Of Madras 565 bags went at easier rates ; low sc lc yellow at 31s 6d to 32a 6d, middling 34s to 36s 6d, and fine 37s t) 37s 6d, whilst a part only sold. FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public ale of Foreign Sugar, and by private treaty little business was con cluded in duty paid or bonded sorts, whilst there were sellers at rather lower rates. MOLASSES.—Wort India met with less att-mtion, and firmer rates are nc,t to bo obtained. The purchase amount to only 200 puns Porto Rico at 17s 6d to 186, and 30 puns St Vincents at 15s 61 for ordina•3. East India met with little attentior, and can be purchased at 14s to 14s 6d. The chief portiun of the stock is in second hands. COCOA.—For West India there has been a decrease in the demand by private treaty, and none has been sub mitted to public sale, wbiltt former rates are not to be obtained. The market for Foreign has assumed a quiet aipect, and there are not buyers at former terms. At public sale a large parcel of Para was taken in at 35s per cwt fur fsir grey. COFFEE.—This afternoon the private operations in Coffee were very trifling by shippers and home dealers. whilst former r wee were net to be obtained, although the supply at market was small. At public sale 354 bags Ceylon went at a further reduction of fully 2s. per cwt; fine and fine fine ordinary realized 62s to 64s 6d good ord 58s to 60s 6d, ordic ary 55s 6d to 575, ono lot of r, al good ordir ary Native only reAlizcd 60s 6d. 26 bales Mocha went 3s to 45 ender fcrmr.r rates; long berry at 75s to 76s per cwt. The rates asked to-day were 60s to 60s 61 for good ordinary Native Ceylon, but there was scarcely any business concluded. TEA.—The market has assued a quiet appearance for ordinary and good common Congeu, still holders generally are not disposed to press sales, and re quire lOid to lq-d per lb, but there is a more plentiful supply, and prices tend dewnwards. In the better kinds a good business has been con cluded, crnd at firm rates--medium realising Hid to Is 2d, other kinds is 2id to is 10d, and merchants exhibit firmnefr. Fine and good sorts arc still cheap as compared with inferior. In Green large purchases have been made, and fermer terms aro welt supported, while Hyson and ordinary Young Hyson have been the most freely dealt in. Scented Orange has been in good de mand, slill holders have been unable to obtain any fur ther advance. RlCE.—'re-day, at public sale, 1,200 bags Bengal Rice were offered and taken in; fine white at Ils 6d per cwt being the full value. Privately, there was little passing in East India Rice. tiPlCES.—Several parcels of Nutmegs have been sold by private treaty at full rates. At auction 8 t kga realised 2s 7d to 2s 10d for mid and good mid brown. The value of better sort is from 3s to 4s per lb.

PLYMOUTH, JAN. 27.—A fatal boat accident oc curred here yesterday afternoon, by which five persons have lost thcir Her Majesty's steam-frigate Stromboli, Commander Lord Amelius Beauclerk, having been cruising in the channel to assist the homeward bound, .entered the port on Friday and took up her moorings just inside the western arm of the breakwater. On Saturday afternoon, at half past one o'clock • the Stromboli 's cutter was dispatched on duty from the Sound for the Royal William Victualling-yard. The cutter, which is twenty-two feet long, was in charge of Mr. Whitcombe, naval cadet, and a crew of nine'hands, viz., R. Gannyclife e coxswain, John Welsh, John Lowry, Thomas Wenham, Samuel Harris, Joseph Mildren, and Thomas Thomas, able seamen ; James Fox, ordinary seaman ; and John Priest, first-class boy. Besides the crew there were pa'sengers—Mr. E. M Stone, purser and paymaster • Mr. Ruben Loney, assistant-surgeo n ; an d M r . Levies, naval cadet. Tide from half to three- quarters flood, very strong; wind N.N.W. to N.W., fresh breeze and squally. The cutter carried a single reefed lugsail and mizen, and haVing beaten up to the eastern end of Drake's Island she passed the revenue cutters Welling ton, Commander Granby, and Stag, Lieut. Westbrook, which were lying between the ielatid and the "Rusty Aechor" at Millbay. When the cutter had nearly passed Drake's Island, and had got Fireston ,-bay on her starboard bow, about half-past two o'clock, she was suddenly overtaken by a squall from the rorth west, and a heavy see, and the "sheet?' not having been eased off smart enough she capsized. The men attempted to bale her out with their hats, and the coxswain, G-annyclift, put her about and righted her, but she quickly filled, and went down instantly. The accident having been observed from the island, several soldiers belonging to a detachment of the 82d Regiment, on duty there, shouted from the ram parts and alarmed the shipping near. Sergeant Garton, with five men, ran d own t o th e b eac h, an d jumped into the garrison market boat; they were followed by Colour-sergeant Wynne, who, with Sul livan, a private, and Thomas Couch, son of the can teen master, manned the garrison punt, and both boats shoved off. Providentially, Mr. George Blakey, the master of the Stromboli, in that ship's pinnace .had left soon after the cutter, an d a t th e moment of the accident was beating over the bridge between Drake's Island and Mount Edgcumbe. The Wellington's first gig, in charge of William Soady and four hands, and the Stag's gig, in charge of William Lugger and three hands, with the Preventive Service gig from Stonehouse-point, a boat from the Royal William Victualling-yard, and other boats, were prompt to render assistance. The pinnace picked up Mr. Davie; and Joseph Mildren, who were floating on the cutter's gang board, and Mr. Stone, who had an oar. When Sergeant Wynne, in the garrison punt, approached the scene, and saw that assistance was following, he very con siderately passed between several who were floating, and pushed on to Gannyclifr, who was at a distance drifting to leeward, and would have sunk but for this timely help. The Wellington's gig saved Mr. Loney and Simuel Harri.. Mr. Loney is s!out in persor, and had an oar under each arm ; although, like the others, from ten minutes to a quarter of an hour in the water, he was very little affected by the immersion. Harris, on the contrary, had not sufficient strength to seizn a paddle extended to him from the Wellington's gig, and when nearly exhausted was drawn on board by a boathook. The Stag's gig saved Thomas and Priest ; the former was floating about on a box of accounts, which was also picked up. The garrison market boat is flit bottomed, and high out of the water, and being thus unmanageable, was not in time to save life. After the cutter went down young Whitcombe was observed partly on her gangboard, and with that and an oar attempting to save himself, but his strength Lied, and he was unhappily drowned. One of the missing seamen floated mar the track of the pinnace, and actually hoisted his hat as a signal to his comrades of his forlorn condition, but it was necessary to steer the pinnace to save the greater number, and the poor fellow was lost. When Gannyclift went down he missed his hat, and on rising to the surface found one belonging to an officer, which he put on and took on board the garrison punt with him. The cutter had no extra ballast ; her anchor and two cables were trimmed along on her fluor; no confusion prevailed, and the men were all orderly. All those saved were conveyed in the pinnace to the Stromboli, where they were received by Dr. Burke ; they had, however, only a few slight bruises, and have returned to their duties. The five persons drowned are—Mr. Whitcombe, son of a solicitor, residing at Gilfield-house, near Gloucester ; John Welsh, a native of Queenstown ; John Lowry, from Belfast; Thomas Weuham, born at Wittishan-, in Kent ; and James Fox, whose friends reside in London. The officers of the Stromboli expressed themselves very grateful for the valuable assistance rendered, especially fur that of Colour sergeant Wynne, Sergeant Gartor, and the men belonging to the detachment of the 82d Regiment. Boats from the ' Stromboli, from Drake's Island, from the Wellington and the Stag, have since been creeping at low water, but they have not succeeded in discovering the sunken cutter, or in finding any of the bodies of those who were unfortunately drowned. The Stromboli is going up harbour to refit. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.-YESTERDAY. THE LOUTH STEEPLECHASM Even money laid ou Maria Day, Abd-lA-Bader, end Proceed, agst the field.

It appears that shortly after twelve °Uccle the deceased, who was very meanly attired, entered the first recess on the western side cf the bridge, from Blitehfciari-road, where she stood for c minutes on the seat looking stead f,,, t l y t owa rds the water, sad Wore any person could reach her she took oft her bonnet and can, throw ing them duwn on the stone-woh, and then deliberately leaped into the river. Several persons ran towards her, but unfortunately tn) late to save her. An alarm was raised, and two watermen put off in a boat and rowed to the spot where she had Ellen, but the deceased Lever rose to the surface. The tide was running up very fast at the time, and most probably the deco ased was carried aY:ay. The drug=. were used fir some but the (lo ci ased could not bc: found.

From the opening address of Mr. B Akin, and the evidence of the secretary to the company, it appearod that hitherto their premises had been rated at 3,050/, an excess, as they contended, above the net rateable value, of rather more than 2,000/. Taking as their ! e data the gross revenue for th e y ear en di n g April, 1849, the company estimated th a t th e i r i ncome f or with April, would be as payment by occupiers of shops, &c., 9501. 14s. ; weekly an d d a il y paymen t s , om nibus standing, &c. (incl u di ng a d ecrease i n respect ftohlelca' s current:_A yulra ending pay m of the first twoitems of 7311. 4s. 31., arising from the abandonment of the lower fish-market), 2,321/ 15s. Id. ; tolls, 2,1721. ls. 21. ; wharfage, 6221. 7s. 2J. ; and warehousing, 21/. 17s. 61 Total in come, 6,095/. 15s. The exp en di ture f or t h e current year was also estimated upon the date furnished by the preceding year. The principal items were— Poors-rate, 317/. 143. 2d. ; paving rates, 93/. 4-1. 6d. ; sewers-rates, 761. ss. ; salaries a n d wages, 1,494 1 .65. ; ordinary repairs of pier, 4531., and others, which made up a total cf 3,221/. 18s. sd. ; leaving a differ ence between the income and ,expenditure of 2,8731. 16s. 7d. Supposing the property wer e l e t to a tenant, the return upon the capital embarked by suc h tenant would amount to 1,1241., leaving 1,749/. 16s. 7d., which sum a tenant would pay as rent, after deduct ing such a sum as would keep the property in such a condition as to permanently command that rent. Those deductions would be 2001. a year, a s a s i n ki ng fund, for the renewal of the floating pier ten y ears since ; 500/. a year as a sinking fund to rebuild and renovate the property sixty years hence ; and in surance, 47l ; leaving as the net rateable value, 1,002/. 161. 7d. Mr. PASHLEY was heard at considerable length in support of the present assessment. Ultimately the Court fixed the assessment at 1,8001. At the rising of the Court, several other cases were adjourned. THE TRANSIT TRADE WITH THE UNITED STATES. —The stTam-vessel Commodore, arrived at the port of Liverpool from Havr-, has brought 634 packages of French silks, gloves, and other articles, which are ex pressly :Wed and intended to be fir immediate ship• ment by one of the packet vessels to the United States t f America. The whole of the: e goods are officially declared to be for the purpose of expoi tation only, the advantage of which is ttat, instead of a fill and com plete examination of the whole contents ot the packages being made by the authorities of the Revenue, as it they were ertned fir the duties or to be warehoused in the usual manner, a very small proportion of the pack egos are disturbed, or subjected to examination prior t rc-,hipment for their destination, under the rqtulation of a Treasury order having special reference to the im pos t itiens ot f)reigu goods in trunsitu to other foreign countries. Twelve cows have died on a farm in Glamorgan from ( wing the bulbs of waterwort, %Mei). in cleaning a tli!e, had been thrown up into the &id in which they were tas!urcd.
