I had been drinking at the time, and my hands could not lie on the table, so I let them go at him. nary to direct the accountants strictly to examine all those transactions; and the result of these inquiries, as repotted by Messrs. Quilter and Company, has been that various sums of money, for • ttbich cheques had been given to Mr. Duncan, were not paid by him f ur the purposes int en d e d ; that other sums . had been charged and paid twice over; and that certain pnyments reported to have be. n made, had not been made. Mr. Duncan htvirg delivered, and having been paid. his Parliamet.tary accounts to a point, by the farmer direct tor, according to a scale of charges agreed upon, he hes eince 7,150 demanded to have additional remuneration for the same services, on the ground that the scale agreed upon was below the usual charges, and that he has not ! had the amount cf business he was led to expect when the scale was fixed. A copy of the accountants' report Rat given to Mr. Duncan, and an explanation required. Toe Answer received contained an offer of resignation, whh'li the directors accepted; and they forthwith sought the assisiancii of Messrs. Crowder and Maynard, win, are at pis sent acting as solicitors to the company, aid by whose advice they are and will .be guided in any proceedings which may take place. It will be remem het ed that, at the time the present directors took office, Mr. Duncan continued to conduct the law business of the company, although he had previously tendered his resignation. The well known talent of Mr..Dancan, the . intimate knowledge he posse•sed •of - all the company's alreirs, and the zeal and industry he 'displayed in their service, during a period of :teansition, when there was also much dispute and litigation, rendered it prudent and necessary to request him to withdraw his resigna tion, and it was not until time and Opportunity had been found to search into past transaction=, that the present directors could obtain knowledge of thew errors. In concluding this report, the directors venture to state their hope and belief that, difficult and harrassing as their duties have been, and still are, they shall, if they continue to possess the confidence and support of the proprietors, be able substantially to improve the condi tion and prospects of the company, and to lessen the working expenses. In so doing they Wouldfepiat their resolution, more than once expressed, to endeavour, by conciliatory means, and by co-operation with neighb,ur ing railways, rather than by competition with them, to secure to this company and to the great system of rail ways in the eastern division of England, the traffic and revenue which they ought to possess and retain.. " EDWARD L. BETTS, Chairman." The general balance sheet to the 9th of July showed a total of 339,3161. 33. On the credit side, the amount of cash at the banker's was stated• to be 92.197/. 18s. 6d.; the amount due by sundry debtors (exclusive of the reserve of 1,6411. 19s. ld., on ac count of irrecoverable balances), 122,414/. 14s. 10d.

This opposition bore upon the s,rface the appeararce of having beee occasioned be the Gas Cempanies supplying that district ; the director:, have reason, hswever, for believing that the surface ef the stream did hilt conceal the under current of a more determined and more formidab , e diameter. Dark and mystalous .rumours had for some months been circu lated by,the partizans of the old companies, that the Great Central would not be permitted to lay down pipes to bring the gas from their works to the City ; and at various meetings of the local boards of thud district where permission was reqffired, the solicitor of tee City Gas. Company appeared, to endeavour, as he had previously done at the vestry at Camden-town, to induce them to refuse their consent:. Mr. Tyrrell's exertions were without effect. At three of the local boards the assent was unanimously given, and at the other by a ma jority of 16 to 2. On Wednesday last the contractors commenced the layhtg of their pip-•s rnder the footway across one of the Canal bridges, for the purpose of brining the comma ication between the City and the Company's works. The Battle of the Bri *es has been chronicled by the daily press, and nee not he here repeated; It it sufficient to say that, clothed with jest ce, armed by law, and backed by the parochial authori tiei and the entire force of public oeinion, it was not likely that th s company would suc.mmb to lawless force. The directors ad dressed a letter ot remonstrance to the Commercial Company, in whose name the proceedings had been taken. Since the receipt of this letter, they have gracefully withdrawn from the unseemly contest, and have left the company's contractors in the unoisputcd possession of the field, and they are pursuing their operations in peace. - At the meeting before the magistrates of the parties ostensibly en gaged in the coethet, the Agent of the City Gas Company, like the stormy petrel, was, as usual, hovering around the scene, but as soon as the tempest subsided he disappeared. The directors trust they may n:w congratulate their shareholders with the certainty of being al7owed to prosecute their labours to a succeseful issut amid a peaceful calm, which it will not be permitted to any bird of ill omen hereafter to disturb. The state of the share end capital account of the company Is as satisfactory as the progress of the worts.

A destructive fire broke uut on Saturday afternoon, in riagnigge-welts-road, Cletkenwell, by which many fami lies have been reudered houseless, working men thrown out of employment, and property of immense value de stroyed. The catastrophe originstrd in the workshops of Messrs. Johnson and Paste, builders, Baker -street, Bag nigge-wells•road, near the police•station, while the work,- nun were gone to dinner. The flames, from the nature of the property on fire. had gained a most fearful ascendency, and the idea of saving any of Messrs. Johnson and Co.'s property was not entertained for a momenti In fact, every room, toge ther with the stock, w or k men ' s too l s , & c., had by thip time ignited. For nearly twenty-five minutes after the outbreak not an engine arrived, the first being that , of Clerkeuwell parish, which was closely followed by several of the brigade and West of England. All were most promptly placed in Baker -street, Granville-squart, and Bagnigge-wells-road, but notwithstanding every possible exertion to _subdue the flames the fire was not completely mastered until after three o'Ciock. The con fusion and alarm that prevailed when the flames were at their height baffles description. In Baker-street, on the aide opposite to the houses abutting on the fire, a vast quantity of valuable furniture was piled up, which, was immediately taken charge of by the police as they arrived. In Granville-square the furniture was thrown out of the houses indiscriminately, end has since been placed by the police in the district church of St. Philip, Clerkenwell (now under repair), which occupies the centre of the square, until owned; and that in Baker. street has been put into the empty houses on the oppo site side for the same purpose. By this calamity it is' stated that about fifty men will be thrown out of employ; and it is also stated that when the body of men left to go to dinner, two were placed in charge of a pot of some ignitable matter which was on the fire in the upper workshop, bat which must have boiled over and caused the confl a gration. WESTMINSTER. OBTAINING MONEY UNDER. FALSE PRETENCES. — Miss Woolgar, the actress, attended in support of a charge against Matha Barton; for obtaining, under false pretences, V. in lawr name. Mr. Peckham, from the office of Mr. Hewitt, soli citor, conducted the prosecution. The prisoner had lived for four months in the ser vice of Mr. Woolgar, at Beaufort-street, Chelsea, and owing to misconduct, left on Tuesday week. On Thursday last she went to Mr. Starke, a butcher in the neighbourhood, who supplies Mr.i Woo lgar's family with meat, and representing that she had been sent by Miss Woolgar to solicit the loan of 21., ordered two lamb chops for that lady. Miss Starke, the sis ter of the proprietor of the shop, immediately gave her the money and sent the chops, upon which the fraud was discovered and the prisoner found and given into custody. Miss Woolgar having proved that she had given no authority to prisoner, or any other person, to solicit a loan on her behalf, the prisoner was remanded till Wednesday. LAMBETH. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, AUG. 18.—The Royal Mail Com pany's s'eann-ship Medway, Captain Symons, arrived this afternoon, at half•past three o'clock, from the %Vest Indies, with the usual mails, in charge of Lieut. I. J. Wilkinson, R.N., Admiralty agent. On her homeward voyage the Midway experienced fine weather; winds light and moderate from the southward till the 16th instant; after, from N.W. to N.E. Left Bermuda at five P.M., sth August, per forming the voyage, of 3,019 miles, in 12 days and 23 hours. The Medway has brought home sixty pas sengers. RoBBERY BT A CONFIDENTIAL SERVANT: — Joseph Dennis was finally examined on a charge of stealing six waistcoats, the property of Messrs. M. and S. Hyams, clothes manufacturers, King-street, Chempside. The prisoner, whO had been for some time in the service of the prosecutors as delivery clerk, pleaded guilty to the charge, and the solicitor for the prose cution requested that the case might be summarily dealt with. The Learned Gentleman urged two reasons for making the request. The first was, that the prisoner up to the period at which he committed the present offence had sustained a good character; and the second, that in order to complete the case it would be neces)ary to bring three witnesses from the prosecutors' manufactory at Colchester. Mr. NORTON sentenced the prisoner to two months imprisonment. THAMES. Subjoined is a copy of Mr. Braidwood's official report of the damage done:— .

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. • .11 7 01t7'1l ELIA , ClRCUlll—Liverpool, Aug. 17. NISI PRIUS COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Ca SSWELL.) ELLIS V. THE WEST OF ENGLAND INSURANCE COMPANY. This action was commenced early •on Friday mareing, and was not concluded until two o'clock to-(l4y, . The action was brought on a policy of fire in sureness- for 5001., effected in defendants' office by the upen his stock in -trade, he•having recently carried (01 the inniness of a draper at ilulme. A fire having occurred on his premisaa, his stock is trade, to the value of the policy, was alleged to have been consumed, soon at ,er which he beanie bankrupt, and the present action was brought . by bis ao(ignves in his name. The defendants pleaded a number of pleas, alleging, amongst other things, non-payment of the premium on the irs(licy, that the fire en the plaintiff's premises was the result of carelessness, and that the plaintiff has' fraudulently violated the condi tions of a. he policy. • Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Mr. Aspland appeared for the plaintiff, arid Mr. Martin, Q.C., Mr. Cowlirg, and Mr. Hugh Hill for the defendants. The Evidence on the part of the plaintiff was that tit the time of the fire there were goods on the pre mises to the' full 'amount clairhed. For the defend., ants it 'was contended that there were scarcely any good's on the premises at the time of the fire, and cer tainily not to the value of the policy ; and that for these reasons the company resisted the payment as a fraudulent,impositien• dis LORDSHIP having summed up the evidence, wi.h great care, The jury• retired, and after a short absence re `named with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1001. - - CROWNCOURT.—(Refore Justice WIG HTMAN.) James Smith, aged 16, way charged with having on the 17 ch of April last feloniously assaulted his mistress, Mrs. Hannah Knight, with a knife, with intent to murder her, or to do her some grievous ., bodily harm. Mr. Pollock appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Monk far the defence. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutrix that she was the wife of a pawnbroker carrying on business ire Butler-street, Manchester, and that in April last the prisoner, who had been in her hus band's service about six months, was accused of having stolen sy. from a drawer. After this, on the 17th of April, about 9 o'clock in the morning, as the prosecutrix was sitting in the kitchen with her back to the scullery, in which the prisoner was at that time engaged, she suddenly felt the arm of some person placed round her neck and a knife plscsd against her throat. She im mediately put up her hands in self defence to protect her throat, and seized hold of the knife, and effer a struggle both fell to the ground, and im mediately the person who had attacked her, and whom she did not see, ran away, and she heard the prisoner crying out, " Oh, Mrs. Knight," and run through the scullery into the yard, and thence into the street crt big out "Murder." To the best of her belief the person who assaulted her was the prisoner. Her throat was scratched but did not bleed, and her hands were cut. A knife was afterwards found in the scul lery with blood. upon . it. She had never had any quarrel with the prisoner. The Learned Counsel for the prisoner submitted that the evidence would not sustain the charge in the indictment, as the wounds on the hands of the prose cutrix had been made by herself in struggling with the person who had attacked her, and the scratch on the throat did not come within the legal definition of a wound, and was not a felony within the Act. He referred to the case of "R. v. Beckett," 1 M. and R., 526. The Learned Counsel for the prosecution con tended, that it was a sufficient wounding within the statute if the jury were satisfied that it was the pri soner's intention) to wound the prosecutrix in the throat, and that her hands were cut in her struggle to prevent it. His LORDSHIP was of opinion that the evidence would not support the charge of wounding within the meaning of the statute, as the skin of the prthecu trix's neck had not been cut, and the cuts on her hands might have been made by herself in the struggle which had taken place. The case must be dealt with therefore as an assault. The L.:.arned Counsel for the prisoner then ad dressed the jury in his defence, and Ills LORDSHIP having summed up, The jury found the prisoner Guilty, with a recom• mendation to mercy. Sentence was deferred. Edward Walsh was charged wieh having, on the 6th of September last, aided and abetted in the man slaughter of Richard Lilly. Mr. Monk appeared for the prosecution ; the pri soner wits undefended. It appeared that on the 6th of last September a prize fight tia.lc place at Crossness, near Manchester, between Richard Lilly (he deceased) and John Mid dleton' on which occasion the prisoner acted as the second of Lilly. The fight lasted two hours, and shoAly after its termination Lilly died in conse quence of the injuries he had received. In the course of the fight the prisoner had picked up the deceased several times, as his second. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, expressed a , trong opinion on the illegality and brutality of prize fiatlVs ; as, however, thsre appeared to have been no circumstances of unfairness, and the deceased had been the aggressor, he should only sentence the prisoner to be imprisoned one fortnight. WESTERN CIR C U T— Br istol, Aug. 17. MIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE and a Special Jury.) EVANS V. LURRELL AND OTHERS. . Mr. Butt, Mr. Sergeant Kinclake, and Mr. M. Smith were coupsel for the Plaintiff; and Mr. Green wood, Mr. Stone, and Mr. Pninn for the de fendants. The plaintiff was a shipowner, residing at Neath, and the defendants were the representatives of the Bristol Steam Navigation Company, and the action was brought to recover damages for an injury which the plaintiff alleged he had sustained by reason of the steam-vessel of the defendants having run into his schooner called the Liverpool Packet, trading between Neath and Bristol, in consequence of the negligence of the parties on board the steam-vessel called the Rose, la-longing to the Bristol Steam Navigation Company. On the 15th of January, the Liverpool Packet, having taken in her cargo at Neath, proceeded on her regu lar voyage, under the command of Captain Westlake, under whose care she had for years made her passage. About half-past four o'clock in the morning the .chooner passed the light-ship which marked the Welsh and English grounds, the weather being dark and cloudy. In about 20 minutes aftewards the Rose passed her geiog down Channel. About half past five the schooner was close-hauled on the larboard-tack, Dearly opposite Walton Bay. She was proceeding up Channel. Suddenly the Rose came upon her, and a collision took place, the schooner being cut down nearly to the water's edge. The bowsprit jib and jib.day were carried away. The crew of the schooner, expecting their vessel to go down, jumped on board the steamer, but afterwards returned on board their own vessel, but almost instantly hailed the Rose, which was pursuing her course, and begged the cap tain to tow the schooner into shallow water, which he did. The schooner was afterwards towed to Pill, and ultimately to Bristol, where she was put into dock, and remained eight weeks undergoing repairs. The plaintiff claimed the amount he had paid for re pairs, and also compensation for the loss he had sus tained during the time the schooner was unable to take her voyages, which together would amount to about 2701. Of course in such a case all depended upon which captain was in fault, and a great number of witnesses were examined on both sides, each throwing the blame on the other. Eventually, after a trial which lasted a day and a bllt, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, 2431 7s. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO US H. William Berry was chargerl with having most violently assaulted Mr. Eugenics Fenning, common councilman, of the Poultry, in his warehouse, on Friday. Mr. Fenning said the defendant had lived in his service about seventeen years ago, and there had been relson fur discharging him. On Friday, while Mr. Fermin; was in his counting house, the prisoner entered and struck him three times across the shoulders with a stick. The surprise was so great that there was no time for preparation, but jug as the defendant had inflicted the last blow, he received a knock. down thump from one of the servants of the establish ment, and the police soon afterwards took proper care of him. The defendant—lt is true I did live with Mr. Fen fling seveut.en years ego, and I committed a sort of a mistake, for which I was discharged. I went into the shop on Friday last to speak to one of the men at work there, and Mr. Knning thought proper to ,ccuse me or acts of dishonesty, and prote , ted ngains My calling at his house. I was a good deal excite° ILLICIT DISTILLATION.—Mary Gregg and Mary Ann Adams were charged with carrying on illicit distillation in an unentered place, in Amiel-street, Bromley, Middlesex. Alexander Smith, an Excise officer, stated that on Friday evening he went to the house, N 0.17, Amiel street, obtained admission at the back door, and dis covered a still in the lower front room, which had been recently at work. In the same room there were other articles and utensils used in distillation. In a room above that which contained the still, he disco vered a bottle containing half a gallon of strong spirits, usually called " jig stuff," the produce of the still, which was warm. The woman Gregg, who gave the name of Smith when she was first captured, said the still was her own, and that the other woman, Adams, did not know what was going on. She ropeated this statement be fore the m3gistrate, and there being no reason to be lieve that Adams had anything to do with the still she was discharged, and Gregg was fined 801., and in de fault of payment committed for three months, and to be kept to hard labour. WANDS IV 01? TH. PLATE ROMIEBIEF.— W ildiam Penticrop was finally examined upon two charges of ddrlng robberies of plate. Miss Matilda Curtis, of 18, Oxford-terrace, Clap ham-road, stated that on the morning of Thursday, the Bth instant, between half-past ten and eleven o'clock, she saw the prisoner, who was carrying a bundle of herbs, go into the garden of a house opp.)- site, and raise the window of a breakfast parlour. He then crossed over the road to a man who had a basket of herbs, and exchanged his bundle for the basket. He returned to the house, and pushing the window further up, went in, leaving the herb basket at the window. After a minute's absence be returned with the plate basket, which he placed in the herb basket, and covered it over. The prisoner then ran straight down the road into the Oval-road, where she lost sight of him. Francis Hedger, of 3, Church-crescent, Kenning ton, butcher, said his attention was called to the pri soner, who was running towards the Oval. Witness being in his cart, soon got up with the prisoner, who, dirt ctly he saw him, dropped the skirt of his coat, which he had been holdi ng , and a quantity of plate fell on the ground. Witness, with much difficulty, succeeded in securing the prisoner, who was also charged with the following robbery at the house of Mr. Allen, Lawn - place, South Lambeth:—On the god inst. the prisoner was seen by the housemaid to lift up the front kitchen Window, enter, and take up two silver spoons. The girl instantly rushed upon the prisoner, who gave her one of the spoons, thinking she would let him go, but she held fast, and called her master, who soon appeared, and the prisoner then threw the other spoon at him and ran off. The prisoner was committed for trial on both charges. COURT OF EN. THE DEATH OF THE RECORDER OF LONDON. On Saturday last a special court was held at the Gukiilailin conseq uence of the death of the Recorder of London. There was a full court. THE GAOL OF NEWGATE. Mr. Alderman and Sheriff LAWRENCE took occa sion to state, before the commencement of the especial business for which the Court was summoned, that there were no more than four transports, two men and two women, in the gaol of Newgate; and the reason these prisoners were detained there was that they, in consequence of illness, were incapable of leaving it. lie remembered no time at which the gaol was so clear of tried prisoners.—(Rear.) THE LATE RECORDER. The TOWN CLERK read a letter, addressed to the Lord Mayor and Court of Aldermen by the son-in law of the Recorder, announcing Hon. and Learned Gentleman.the death of the Sir P. LAURIE said he had the p a i n f u l tas k , as members resolution a t the expres sive of the deep regret felt by the a a t t h h a of t the gentlemanlate R hade- senior alderm.e.n present, to move s e e o r r i d o e u r s . loss For s t u w s e ta n i t t y , e - d se b v y e a t y h e e ar d s e been connected with the corporation of Lo n d on , an d it was needless to particularise the manner in w hi c h the duties of the several of f ices which h e h a d fill e d during that period had been performed by him.— (Hear, hear.) Sir P. Laurie proposed the following resolution : " That the Court having viewed with deep regret the intelligence of the sudden death of the Hon. Charles firmnessupo n him, a exhi biting nd Ewan Law, the late respected Record er o f t hi s c i ty , cannot but express their sens e of th e great loss which this corporation has sustained in one who so long dis charged with real talent and integ ri ty the various duties, judicial upon p a n n n d ellsenatorial, occasions which devolved the greatest ur banity, united with that high bearing so suited to his position in society. And this Court beg to offer their sincere condolence to the Hon. Mrs. Law and the afflicted family, at the severe bl ow with whi c h i t h as pleased Providence to visit them. —(Hear.) Alderman FAREBROTIIER sincerely regretted the melancholy occasion upon which the Court had as sembled, and seconded the resolution moved by Sir Peter Laurie, in every one of whose observations he most cordially agreed. He felt convinced that the widow of their lamented friend would feel some con solation at receiving sw_di a testimony of the respect and honour in which her late husband had been uni formly held by those who had known him so long and so well.—(Hea . , hear.) The resolution was then unanimously agreed to, and a copy was ordered to b 3 transmitted to the lion. Mrs. Law. Upon the motion of Sir PETER LAURIE, seconded by Alderman FAREDRoTHER, the resolution was or dered to be adver,ised in tLe morning and evening papers. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the Court, we were given to uncerstaod, after ii very short discussion, referr d the questioa of the duties and. salary of the future rteeordt r to a select committee. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. The following report of the directors will be pre sented to the half-yearly meeting, to be held at the London Tavern on the 2211 instant :-- " On completing the brat year of their official duties, the' directors have to report that, notwithstanding the many difficulties and camplications wising out of the past, they have reason to be setisfied with the progress which has been male towards the es tsblishment of or ier in the current business of the company, the restoration of its credit, anti the arrangements that have been effected, ne:terisala tendiag to reduce the heavy ex• permed to which the revenue has been hitherto seta, or. The accounts fur the half-year hare been made out on the principles and form approved by the eroprietere st the last meeting by Messrs. a/lifter and Co., and they have been subject to the continuous audit s f Messrs. Racy s and Mayhew, to whom that Important duty was assigned by their co-proprietors. The capital account, having been vir.ually closed, in accordance -sill the re solution of the last half-) early meeting, the revenue is now debited with all disbursements, aed it will be ob served that the half-year's income bas been charged - with 15,4181. 2s. 2d. for the rebuilding and replacement of engines and carriages, and that the sum of 8,000/, has been carried to the credit uf The reserve fund for the renewal of permanent way and works. A portion of this fund has been applied to the renew al of the Col chester line, and the repair of stations, as shown in the accounts. The directors being of opinion, from the ex perience they have acquired of the condition of the prc perty, that a smaller sum than that recommended by the committee of investigation will be sufficient for the renewal of the way and works, recommend the share holders to sanction their reserving hereafter 22.0011 a year in place of 32,0001.; and it is proposed that this sum should be apportioned by charging the revenue of each half-yeer ending the 4th of January with 14,0001., arid the half-year ending the 4th of July with 8,000/. The receipts of the halt-year are 400,7051. 12a. sd, of which .53,536/. Its. 3d. has been derived from the Nor folk Railway, and the charges as apportioned by the ac countants against that line amount to 37,1811 7s. 7d. The Norfolk revenue has been charged with 4001. as the expenses of the joint committee during the year. The directors regret to announce the unsatisfactory result of the working of the Norfolk line during the past half year as compared with farmer periods; this is obis fly to be attributed to the opening of the Eastern Union Com pany's extension to Norwich, and the consequent division of the traffic to and from London and Norwich and the districts lying between the two lines of railway; while their junction, which must bring a considerable treffic upon the Norfolk Railway, still remains to be made by the Eastern Union Company. The charges and expenses against revenue during the half-year amount to 365,2101. 4s. 3d., leaving 35,495/. Be. 23, to which must be added the surplus left atter paying the last dividend, namely, 1,6201. 175., making art available balance of 37,1161. ss. 23. The directors therefore recommend a dividend upon the consolidated stock of the Eastern Counties Railway Company of 2s. per share. and a payment to the Norfolk Company suffi cient to Live an equal dividend on their consolidated stock, according to the agreement subsisting bet eeen the two companies. The directors have purchased No. 2 Five per Cent. Stock, amounting to 3,2661. 13s. 4d., formerly issued in excess, and have cancelled the certificates, as was resolved at the last half-yearly meeting; they also gave notice to the holders of the Yorli Extension Five per Cent. Guaranteed Stock that they might be paid off at par on the 10th of June last. In pursuance of which notice, holders of that stock, to the amount of 25,8401, had consented to receive payment when the halt yeer's accounts were closed, leaving 18.0801. then to be dealt with, part of which has since been paid off; and this stock will he replaced by debentures at lower rates of interest. Your accountants are still engaged in the ex amination of the capital account, which they have nut been able to complete during the. past half-year. Sundry payments formerly made in error or in excess have been discovered, some cif which are now recoverable; these will amount to more than sufficient to pay the cost of this laoorious investigation, and the directors therefore recommend that it be steadily pursued. Since the half year's accounts were closed, the reference between the company and Mr. George Hudson, arising out of the , Wisbeach and St. Ives Railway transactions, has been decided, and the sum of I,COO/., with interest at five per cent, for three years and three-quarters, making to• gether 1,1871. 10s., have been awarded to the company and paid by Mr. Hudson, who has also paid the costs of reference. The attempt, by a separate company. to obtain an Act of Parliament to make a railway from Cambridge to Saepreth having been defeated, and the powers of this company to take land for a branch line in the same direction—namely from Shelford, near Cambridge, to the termination of the It/sten and Lliteein Railway at Sheoretio bring limited as to time, the directors took means to get possession of the ground without delay, and they have the satisfaction to state that it was obtained on comparatively reasonable terms, and in all cia-es by amicable arrangement with the owners and occupiers. Specifications have been p -e -petted, and contracts are advertised for the whole of the work;, which are intended to be completed in tine for the opening of the Royston and li.mchin Red wee . During the present session of Parliament an Act was sought by the Maximal! Railway Company to obtain running powers over the whole of the Eastern Counties Railway; and, had the attempt been successful, the result to this company would have been unjust and in jurious. The directors, however, have the satisfac:ion to announee, that by the opposition they were enabled to present to this Bill in the Committee of the House of Commons, the powers sought were reduced to such limits as to render it unnecessary to carry the opposi tion further. These have increased the law charges of the company during the past half-year. The Eastern Union Company have obtained an Act of Parliament, giving them an extension of time to make the branch to Harwich, and other powers; and although the direc tors felt it their duty to call on the proprietors, at their last general meeting, to refuse their assent to certain, clauses intended to have been inserted in that Act, they believed great advantages to both companies would result from the opening of the Harwich brancb, and they shall be glad if the Eastern Union directors are enabled to devise some mode of completing it, in which the directors can advise this company to co-operate with them. The directors regret that they have not succeeded in con cluding an arrangement with the Great Northern Rail way Company; but being well aware of the loss which must be sustained by bota companies in the event of a hostile competition, they trust that a good understanding may be maintained between them until some definite arrangement be made. The directors regret that it should have been deemed expedient by the Newmarket Company to discontinue the working of their railway. It has been a subject of much care and anxiety to this board, and several propositions have been made to the Newmarket Company for working their traffic, but the directors feel it impossible, consistent with your in• terests to offer more than they e have already done, namely, to work the Newmark e t Railway at cast price, and without any profit to this company beyond what might arise from trsffic thus brought upon the Eastern Counties Liue. The carriages and other materials be lunging to that company, held by the Eastern Counties as security fir their debt, will shortly be taken at a va luation. The Electric Telegraph Company's agreement to work and maintain the apparatus upon this railway having some time ago expired, remained in abeyance when the present directors took office; negotiations have been since pending which have resulted in a new agree ment between the two companies, to the effect that a fair allowance shall be made to this company out cf the re ceipts for commercial and general messages sent along their line, so that in future it will be their interest and policy to extend more freely to the public in the eastern counties the benefits of the telegraph, and to induce the more frequent use of this rapid mode of communicating intelligence. The Lowestoft harbour has bees finished within the estimate, under the superintendence of Cap tain Andrews, the harbour -master, who pas been de servedly appointed by the Tricky Board superintendent of pilots for the port, which is now much frequented as a harbour of refuge, accessible at all times of tide to vessels of twelve feet draft of water, and to ships of the larger class at high water. The trade of the port con tinues steadily to increase, nearly a thousand vessels having entered the harbour for trade or refuge during the past year; and new residences are rapidly rising on the south side of the harbour; which, with the esplanade and pier, will render Lowestoft an attractive watering place for the citizens of Norwich and the inhabitants of the midland counties, who have ready access to it by the railways converging at Peterborough. The works upon the Eastern Counties Railway being now completed the directors are enabled to dispense with the services of a resident engineer, besides effecting other reductions in that department, and to place the maintenance of the way and works in charge of the superintendent. The directors suggest that provident funds should be raised among their officers and servants, to which the com pany should contribute, in order to afford, under pro per regulations, some provision for their families in case of accident or injury, to which such men are much exposed, as also in the event of their becoming unab:e to perform their duties through age, sickness, or infirmity. In the extensive workshops at Stratford there is now training up a body of men to work and repair the com pany's engines, upon whose skill and intelligence much depends. The directors desire to assist them in acquiring a practically useful education, to fit theta fur to encourag e e d uctation such service. These objects, and prudent habits, may be effected at a very moderate expense; the duty a s we ll as t h e i nterests of the com pany require, it, and they trust it will meet the a b tion of the propri e t ors . D ur i ng the past half-year ppr o Pr a a pc:anis to work the l ocomot i ve eng i nes and carriage ia b c ; contract have been urge d upon the directors by several, whose knowledge and experience in railway mans' e naent are entitled to great respect, and persons of skill and responsibility have come ferward with substantial offers to undertake such cont! acts, so that the board felt bound to give this subject their best attention; but after having maturely considered it they are of opinion that it is not fur the interest of the proprietors that they should lease the working of their line. The directors nave, therefore, appointed Mr. John V. Gooch, late of the South -Western Railway, as superintendent of the locomotive department. It is the painful dtity of the oirectors to report that, oaring to circumstances whici, arose on inquiring into the payments flaaailY ma d' for land and other purpose s, terough Mr. Duncan, the late solicitor to the company, they found it mem The latest dates brought by the Medway are— Vera Cruz, 16th July; Tampico, 12th; Havannah, 27th Jamaica, 22d: Demerara, 19th ' • Trinidad, 21st ; Barbadoes, 27th ; G rena d a , 23d ; Porto Rico, 25th ; St. Thomas, 31st ; La Guayra, 22d ; Ber mu.la, sth August; Nassau, July 29th; Antigua, 28th ; St. Jago de Cuba, 20th ; Belize, 11th ; Mar tinique, 28th; Guadeloupe, 28th; St. Kitts, 29th. The Medway brings on freight 667,017 dolls. on merchants' account, 36,887 dolls. for the dividends, 571 serons of cocbineal, 4 ditto ofjalapa, 37 cases of cigars, 102 bales of tobacco, 12 turtle, 5 cases of 'succades, and 10 bales of sponge. GALE or WIND.—At St. Kitt'a a south-wester commenced on the 11th of July. The damage on shore was comparatively trifling; but of the shipping, in addition to the account brought by the former packet, apprehensions were entertained for the safety of the brig Index, at the time at S Indy Point, taking on board part of her cargo, and the schooner Governors Light, which vessel was driven out, and it was sup posed had become unmanageable in consequence of her rudder having been unshipped; however, both these veasels returned to their anchorage on Sunday morning, the 14th July. The cutter Union, th e pro perty of Mr. John W. Poulse, sunk at her moorings a - , Sandy Point, and was subkcquently washed on store and broken to pieces. The barque Robert, of London, and brig Premier, of Glasgow, rode out the gale in safety. The barque Benjamin Green, of London, is a total wreck. Sr. JOHN'S HARBOUR, ANTIGUA, JULY 11.—The shipping over the bar plunged heavily, but, with the exception of the ►hip Isabel, rode out the gale. This vessel, being light in ballast, presented a greater ob ject to the wind and sea, consequently began to drive, at one time being in immerlhte peril. The crew were compelled to cut away the masts. The shipping within the harbour, with the exception of a small cutter, rode out the gale with little or no damage. DOMINIQUE, JULY 13.—0 n Thursday morning the 11th instant, about eight o'clock, the sea began to assume a rough and boisterous appearance, the wind at the time blowing from N.W., but not at all what could be called a gale. The barometer at that time had fallen a tenth ; towards twelve o'clock appear ances became more threatening. The wind veered round to the S.W., and the sea became still more boisterous, and the general opinion was that a storm must have occurred to the southward to cause the heavy sea. However, it still con tinued to rise; and it became evident that the vessels riding at anchor in the roadstead were in great dan• ger, as it was impossible for them to put to sea, the wind blowing right in shore. About three o'clock the fine barque, the Osbert, of Loudon, which was to have sailed to-day with a full cargo of between 600 and 700 hogshead of sugar, parted her out-shore anchor, and came ashore stern on. In the meantime the sea had risen to such a height that no boat could venture out into it, and no assistance could be rendered to the shipping. One boat, manned with a crew of noble fellows, did attempt to go off to the Osbert, but they had proceeded but a short distance when the boat was capsized, and the crew pitched into the sea, and they were only saved by the exertions of the people on shore, who took hands, and formed a line out into the surf, and lai 1 bold of each of the poor 'ellows as they were overpowered by the waves, and thus the whole were saved. The condition of the captain and crew of the Osbert now became very distressing • the vessel lay about half a cabl e ' s l engt h f rom the beach, the sea was tremendous, and with every bump it was feared the masts would go overboard and tear the ship to pieces; at last, after great difficulty, a hawser was got on shore, and made fast to a tree. On this one of the sailors managed to get ashore, bringing a small line, to which was attached a noose, hung to the hawser by a large iron hook ; to this another rope was fastened by the people on shore, and the hook again drawn back to the ship, a tub was then fastened to the hook, and in this the whole of the crew, one after the other, was drawn ashore. About eight o'clock P.M. the vessel began to break up, and at ten the whole bay was strewed with wreck and empty sugar casks, and now only a few fragments remain in the place where the vessel struck. Both the vessel and cargo, we are happy to hear, are insured. _ _ Besides the Osbert, the sloops Brothers, Venus, William Stewart, Child() Harold, Jane and Mary, and Calypso, belonging to this port, were driven on shore. _ _ — Aifour o'clock, p.m., the North American steam packet Medway, Captain Symons, with the English mails, made her appearance off the town of Roseau. A canoe, with three men, launched from the beach at the west end of the town, came off, and took the mails on shore. An attempt was made to land a draft of soldiers for the island in one of the packet-boats ; the canoe came off again to the boat's assistance, took two soldiers out of her and landed them ; other boats from the ship went to her assistance, and with much difficulty 'she returned to the ship. At eight oclock the packet proceeded on without the out-mails for England. Captain Dalrymple, of the Osbert, and crew, are passengers by the Medway. JAMAICA. We have received our customary file of papers and correspondence from Jamaica. The steamer left Kingston on the morning of the 23d of July. There are not in the papers from this colony any items at all worth extracting, if we except, perhaps, the following on the state of the weather and the crops from the Falmouth Post : " We have been informed by several gentlemen who have the management of sugar estates in this parish (rrelawny), that serious fears are entertained respecting he crop that is now on the ground, in consequence of the drought that has prevailed fur some time. On some properties the fields have been entirely re-supplied with new plants, at a considerable expense, and unless the season sets in rapidly, heavy loisct will be sustained. Our advises from Hanover state that there have been repeated and heavy showers of rain in the country, and tho yield of ground provisions is immense. Yams are sold at 4s. per hundred weight, and plantains are retailed in the market at Linia at the rite of 12 for 3d." The weather generally was very s t o rmy in the sea port towns. At intervals there were good rains, but, I natwithstanding, the heat was very great. _ There had been some little disturbance on an estate in St. Ann's, called Kuapdale, between the " Ditto.—Messrs.
