According to the report, which was taken as read, the capital account showed that the total amount received on consolidated stock shares and debentures to the 30th June last was £7,442,713, of which £101,914 was received in the half year. The total expenditure to the same period in England and India amounted to £7,256,706. The gross revenue receipts for the half year earned over the same mileage as on the corresponding period of 1867, amounted to £252,056 as compared with £264,666, and show a decrease of £12,610, of which £3,192 arises under the head of passen gers, parcels, &c., £9,438 under that of mer chandise, live stock, and miscellaneous re ceipts. With :regard to passengers there was an increase in the numbers carried of the Ist and 2d class of 662 and 6,194 respectively, but owing partly Ito the reduction in the fares referred to in the last report, the Ist.class receipts show a de crease of £298, and the second class an increase of of £597. There was a falling off in the third-class passengers, which was attributable to the general depression and inactivity following upon the extraordinary inflation and collapse of commercial speculation in Bombay in the last two or three years. In the merchandise traffic the falling off arises principally in cotton and grain. The half year's receipts, though actually less in amount, have increased per train mile from 10s. 3.17 d, to 10s. 9 -93 d. in consequence of the reduction which was effected in the train mileage to the extent of 50,102 miles. The gross working expenses amounted to £153,217, showing a reduction of £3,271 on those of the corresponding period. The line has been maintained in good order, and the rolling stock in excellent condition. The net re venue amounted to £98,838 19s. 10d., which compares with £108,178 B s . 4d. i n the correspond ing period of 1867. But from this is deducted the £57,500 as a special reserve for fencing. The re port concluded by referring to a claim of a personal nature. The R. J. H.

The readings in Ireland are very low ; between Greencastle and Rochefort the difference is an inch. Temperature was low yesterday on the N.E. coast: this morning it is much higher everywhere than it was on Saturday especially in the S.W. The wind yesterday morning was generally light to moderate, from S. to S.E. in the Channel and in Ireland, but it has since blown strongly on the E. coast and at a . m. morning high winds from the S.E. continue in the E. and N., whilst a fresh 13.

Prince Arthur has been granted leave of absence from his military dutios from the 19,h of December, 1868, to the 2nd of January, 1869. He left Woolwich early on Saturday morning. At the meeting of the Para Gas Company (Limited) a dividend was declared at the rate of Per cent. per annum. The thirteenth ordinary general meeting of the Proprietors of the Alliance Bank (Limited) will be held on the 21st January. Mr. Thomas Kemmis, the lately appointed Trea sury solicitor in Ireland, is in a very precarious state of health, having been seizod a day or two ago with an apo plectic fit. Yesterday he was no better. A fifth dividend of I.s. in the pound is payable on the 22d inst. to the creditors of the Oriental Com -lercial Bank (Limited). Notice is given of the closing of the transfer books of the East India and Madras Irrigation Companies, for the purpose of making out the half-yearly inte rest warrants. Sir Richard Mayne, it is said, is somewhat better, out he is still confined to his house. It is understood that, acting on the advice of his family and his friends he will shortly tender his resignation. A very amusing story has been going the round of the papers of t!te discussion which took place between Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright before the latter right hon. gentleman could be induced to take office. The Manchester Examiner states, "on good authority," that the story is altogether untrue. A special meeting of the Metropolitan District Railway Company was held on Saturday, for the purpo se of authorising the directors to raise addi tional capital by the creation of new ordinary Mock and shares, for the completion of the works a long the Thames Embankment. It was resolved to issue 1,500,000 at 20 dis., these shares to take a preference dividend of 4 per cent. Four hundred men were imprisoned on Friday in the Holmes Colliery, near• Rotherham. It happened thus. About nine o'clock in the morning, when the pit was in full work, the cage containing sevotal corves of coals was, from some at present unexplained cause, overdrawn, and one of the loaded corves fell down the shaft. The accident it may well be conceived, caused groat alarm both above and below. Those above set to work to repair tho machi nery, and when it was possible to descend the shaft it was found that the corve had stuck fast some SOO yards from the top, and that the framework on tho other side was much damaged. Communication was thus entirely cut off with the four hundred mon below, who, weary, tired, and hungry, gathered about the bottom of the shaft in anxious suspense. It was nine o'clock in the evening before pro visions could be passed to them. me 5:°,„,'13 lo vereib, a API he sth ° eeera beti 1819, ° ;aturd 3l. 7a, after.

I'Jl.l CE LV TE'LLIGENCE-- This Day. MARLBORO ITGII-S MEET, ROBBERY AT A NE MERcHANT's.—Adam Barr, a porter in the employ of Messrs. Chamen, wine merchants, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a bottle of wine, the property of his employers. Mr. Sayer from the office of Mr. Edwari Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the pri soner, who appeared to be very dejected. Mr. Tewkcsburne Chamen, of the firm of Chamen and Sons, said that the prisoner had been in the employ of the firm for about fOur months, and for some time past they had been missing pro perty. On Saturday their head cellarman showed him two bottles of wine width had been removed from the cellar and placed among the empty bottles in the bottle-washing place. On the prisoner leav ing in the evening he (witness) stopped him and gave him into custody, and the constable took a bottle of wine (one of those he had spoken of' from him. In answer to Mr. Sayer, the witness said the prisoner came to the firm with a very good cha racter. Police-constable James Swaine, 14 OR, said that on taking the prisoner into custody he found the bottle of wine under his coat, and on taking the prisoner to the station he fainted. Mr. Sayer addressed the magistrate on the pri soner's behalf, urging that he had hitherto borne a good character, and that he was sorry for commit ting himself as he had done. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would remand the prisoner for a week, and see if the prosecutors intended to proceed further. IVES'imiN ST E R. PATERNAL REGARD.—JaITICS Evans, a man about 50 years of age, was charged with assaulting and wounding his son, aged about 25, whose head was tied up in a handkerchief. Complainant said that hearing that his father had been to his house and made a disturbance, he went to his house, 7, Church-street, Chelsea, on Saturday evening, when his father and his brother fell upon him, and his father wounded him on the head with a knife, after which his brother punched him with his fist. Defendant—Your worship, he came in ust like a mad lion. Mr. Selfe—Did you ever see one? Defendant—Well, no; I don't know that I ever did, but your worship knows what I mean. Complainant—l came here to speak the truth— it's a lie your worship. Mr. Selfe —That's very plain at any rate. Com plainant, I see your father has got a number of marks about him. how did they come ? Complainant—lle tumbled about, I suppose. Defendant—l got them from my sou, when he beat me about with the leg of the table. Complainant--IVhat's the good of dying that; who do you think would believe you? Defendant—He is a bad fellow, and I can prove it. He came in, knocked me about, and went on in a fine way. We were all sitting at breakfast. Defendant's daughter, and another son, proved that he came in, threw off his clothes, attacked his father, and broke all the things, which he fell amongst, and cut his head. Mr. Selfe discharged the defendant, and told com plainant to keep away from his house. THAMES. FATAL STABBING AFFRAY.—Mr. Stoddart, solici tor, announced that John Buckley, a cooper, who was stabbed in the abdomen on the 11th of October last by a man of colour, Felix Victor, died on Satur day night in the London Hospital. Victor has been remanded ten times on the charge of stabbing, and he will be arraigned on Thursday next on a charge of wilful murder. Mr. Stoddart is prepared with a mass of evidence, not to justify the atrocious and sanguinary act of the prisoner, but to prove - " a Ll, O l ley was known for his quarrelsome disposition. The prisoner has been remanded until Saturday. Ever since he had been in custody he has betrayed the greatest indifference on the subject. SYMPATIN WITH BURGLARS.—EIIen Sullivan, a vulgar-looking Irish girl, with a large pair of brass rings decorating her ears, was brought before Mr. Benson on a charge of assaulting a little girl named Jane Brand. This case was stated to have originated out of the late trial of two notorious burglars, who gave the names of Thomas and John Brown, for breaking into and plundering the dwelling-house and premises of Mr. Lavenberg, Broad-street, Rat cliff. After the conviction of that nefarious and notorious thief John Brown, whose real name is Hallam, there was lamentation and woe among the loose characters of Jamaica-place, Limehouse, and neighbourhood. The mother of the complainant was wrongly suspected of giving infor mation to the police, and she was abused by the prisoner and other friends of the convict, and she was abused and threatened. Her daughter was struck. Bride; a police-constable, 4 K, said the neigh bourhood of Jamaica• place had been in a state of excitement ever since the convict was sentenced . to ten years penal servitude, and that he had cohabited with Sullivan. Mr. Benson said he would punish with great severity the friends of thieves and burglars who dared to make any disturbance, or threatened those who had given information or evidence against bad characters. He should have punished the prisoner with a long imprisonment if there had not been some provocation. By way of warning he should sentence the prisoner to 14 days' imprisonment and hard labour. If she was brought before him again he should punish her with a long imprisonment, or commit her for trial. SHIPPING INTELLIC CE. GRAVESEND, Monday Morning.

Af, the close of the election, which took place at the Guildhall, the proceedings were adjourned to the Mechanics' Institute, where Sir Robert Collier addressed the constituency at noon. After thanking the electors generally for his re-election, he expressed his gratification at the general approval shown to his acceptance of office by both parties in the borough. He said the Prime Minis ter was the fittest person to judge who were most eligible to serve the country, and it was the duty of persons so elected to serve. His new office did not give that great amount of patronage it was be lieved it did, but he stated he had made full arrange ments for answering all the increased correspondence he expected. Sir Robert Collier considered Mr. Gladstone's present majority very different to pre vious majorities. This was for very definite objects —the disestablishment of the Irish Church and the support of Mr. Gladstone. The Ministry was very strong in administrative and debating power. The . j unior offices were filled by young risicg statesmen of great ability. Whatever difficulties might arise in detail in carrying out the great measure of doing justice to Ireland, he believed they would all be fully overcome, and they should consist of disesta blishment and disendowment of the Irish Church to a large though not to the fullest extent. He believed that this measure, however, would be the only great measure settled this session. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. R.ICLNG FIXTUItES FOR 1869. JANUARY Manchester ', 2 FEBRUARY.

The one was lettered, "Address to the Lord Bishop of London by the Council of the London Diocesan Home." The other address was accompanied by a very handsome patent A B C despatch box, in red Russia leather, orna mented with gold lines, massive gilt handle in centre of top, surmounted with the monogram A. C. T. ; above the handle the archiepiscopal mitre ; below it, in raised Gothic letters, "Archbishop of Canterbury."

M`Nab and Co. have also contracted to build a screw of 1,200 tons for a Liverpool firm. The Macon (Georgia) Telegraph asserts a com plete change of sentiment in Mrs-Harriett Beecher Stowe, now lit Florida. It says —" She desires to live long enough to write a book to correct the mistakes in Uncle Tom's Cabin,' and show that a great blunder was made when slavery was abolished.' Allowing the authority to be good, the lady may really be acting under a dread of consequences, and we prefer hearing these opinions con firmed when the lady is North, not South.
