The capital of the company which has taken the contract will be 50,000,000 fr., or two millions sterling, in shares of 500 fr. each ; in addition to 470,000 obligations also of 500 fr. each, representing £9,480,000, so that the total amount will be £11,480,000 sterling. Half the number of shares are to be allotted to the holders of the obli gations in the proportion of about one share to ten obligations ; and the obligations are to be redeem able at par in thirty half-yearly drawings, the first of which is to take place in April, 1869. The price of issue is expected to be 407 fr. 50c. ; but by various allowances it will be reduced to 395 fr. net. The obligations are to be considered as State funds—that is to say, that they will not be subjected to any other tax than that paid by the Italian rentes, Bfr. 80c. per cent.—so that the interest will be 27fr. 36c. on each obligation instead of 30fr., and the payment of it to foreigners is guaranteed in gold. Tl company advances to the Italian Government a net sum of £7,200,000, plus certain treasury expenses, this sum being redeemable by sinking fund in 15 years. It is expected that the society will be able to sell the tobacco which it will manufacture at between 9fr. to 10fr. per kilo. The raw material costing only between 2fr. and 2fr. 50c., the shareholders may expect a good profit. The dividend on the obligations com mences from July last, so that there is already 7fr. 50c. accrued.

The increase in the receipts of the Grand Trunk Railway for the week ending the 12th inst., is £199, and in the receipts of the Great Western of Canada for the week ending the 25th inst., the increase is £2,731. The Brighton traffic shows a decrease of £377, and the South Eastern an increase of £l6l. The report of the Great Luxembourg Railway Com pany, for the half-year ending with June, to be sub mitted to the preparatory meeting in London on the 10th October, and to the Brussels meeting on the 13th, has been issued. The gross receipts for the half- Year were £151,472 lls 3d., and the net earnings £77,268 16s Bd. As compard with the correspond haspe of last year, the increase in the.'gross earnings been £18,735 Os sd, and in the net profits £19,468 7 s. The working expenses have thus been reduced from 56 per cent. to 48 9-10ths per cent. The in creased revenue is almost entirely owing to the con veyance of heavy merchandise, a source of income still open to considerable development. Though a 10 w per tentage of working expen s es i s diffi cu lt on a line with severe gradients, the directors hope to still further reduce them. The rolling stock and way are in . good order.

AIARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN OLD DRUNKARD'S PROMISE TO BECOME A TEETOTALLER.—Mary Wade, a laundress, who has several times been charged at this court with drunkenness, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt charged with being drunk and incapable. Police-con3table Durrant, 213 C, saw the pri soner in a state of intoxication in Oxford-street, about one o'clock this morning, and, as she was be having in a very disorderly manner, he took her into custody. The Prisoner—l met an old friend yesterday. She condoled with me and I condolled with her. We then sympathised with each other, and after that we had some rum. (Laughter.) We had some more rum, and I lost her and she lost me, and when I found myself again it was in the station-house. (Laughter.) Pool, the assistant gaoler, said the prisoner had been often charged before. The PrisonerLThe last time I was here was after I had been enjoying myself at Epsom races, where I met an old friend, and he treated me like a cock. (Laughter.) If you let me off this time I'll never get drunk again, I promise you. I'll become a tee totaller ; and if any one say, " Polly, will you take a drop of anything to drink, I'll take them to the fountain." Let me off this time, old cock, and I'll take the pledge. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner ss. or four days. The Prisoner—What! ss. or four days for get ting drunk ! I can do that like a cock. The prisoner, a good-humoured woman, on being removed from the court set to dancing. THAMES. JUVENILE TUMBLERS.—Ricbard Nicholas and George Neville were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with vagrancy. Mr. Paget—l understand there are two prisoners in the dock. I cannot see them. (A laugh.) Two officers entered the dock, and raised two little boys above the edge. Mr. Paget—Bring them to the table. The prisoners, whose appearance excited great commiseration, were then placed on the table. One said he was going on for 10, the other that he was going on for 9 years. They were bare-legged and barefooted, covered with mud and dirt, and a few rags were fastened to their little bodies. Dillon, a police-sergeant, No. 19 R, said the pri soners and another boy were tumbling and throw ing somersaults alongside an omnibus in the Corn m ~rcial-road. They ran until they were exhausted, and then laid down in the road. Mr. Paget—l hope the omnibus passengers did not give them any money. Dillon—No, sir, not a farthing. Another boy, the brother of Neville, was also tumbling, and he got away. The mother of Neville said her boys would go out tumbling in the road, and she could not stop them. They obtained a few halfpence from omnibus passengers. _ _ Mr. Paget—You ought to be ashamed of your self to allow your children to be tumbling about the streets. The Mother—l do my best for them. Mr. Paget—What is the age of your son befor me? The Mother—Five, sir—five years old. Mr. Paget—Nonsense, woman—five years old He is more than that. The Mother—Five years only, sir, he was lase month. Mr. Paget.—And are you not ashamed of yourself to allow a child five years to be tumbling in the streets, and to be in that most deplorable condition scarcely human. lam sorry that omnibus pas sengers are so foolish as to encourage these young vagrants by throwing them money. It is a most mischievous thing. Passengers do not know the harm they do by encouraging such young vagrants. The boys were then remanded to the Stepney Union House, Bromley, for a week. FATAL RESULT OF AMATEUR TUMBLING.—An inquest was held on Saturday at the German Hospital, Dalston, relative to the death of a boy named John Brown, aged 12 years. The deceased was a school-boy, living at 9, Brunswick-place, Tottenham. Last Wednesday he was performing a somersault in the presence of some of his companions, when he fell on his head and broke his neck. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death.

THE ACCIDENT AT HULL. With regard to the accident at Hull, it is stated tit on Saturday moraing, a little before eight o'clock, the body of the boy John Brewer, aged six years, the son of George Brewer, oil miller, was taken out of the abris and at once removed to the dead•house. The body was Identified by the father. So far as is known the only body not recovered is that of the second boy, who is supposed to have been in Lime-street when the walls fell on him. The fact of these boys being under rubbish in Lime-street throws discredit on the statement as to the street being clear. A lady passed a few minutes before the building fell, and the linseed was then running out at the windows. In attempting to pull down portions of the walls left standing but deemed unsafe, a large hawser put round one piece, to which several horses were attached, broke, thus affording another evidence of the great strength of the walls, and confirming the opinion that the accident arose from weakness of the timbers, and not from want of strength in the outer walls. ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S HOSPITAL. Application refused. MARICE2S-7 111 S DAY. HAY. POTATOES. THE CM OF LONDON REGISIRA7ION. (THIS DAY.) The Revising Barrister for the City held his Court this morning. Mr. White, the treasurer of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, applied to be inserted in the elec toral list of the City on the ground that he occupied a house in the ward of Farringdon within. In examination Mr. White stated that he was treasurer to the hospital by virtue of the office. He occupied a house on their premises in Smithfield. He was a tenant, and not a ser vant. The office he filled was perfectly hono rary, and the only condition was that he should occupy the house. His predecessor had sometimes lived there, but he had a house at Cheshunt. Mr. Harper (Conservative) supported the claim, and contended that it could not for a moment be insinuated that where a gentleman was the sole governor of the whole establishment, and every one was obliged to obey his orders, that he was other than a tenant. With regard to the regulations, there was a distinction to be made, as to whether they were mandatory or permissive ; in this case he urged they were permissive, " for this service you may occupy the house ;" but there was no com pulsion in the matter. Mr. White was clearly entitled to be put on the register. Mr. Ledger (Liberal) denied this qualification, and urged that the house was a remuneration for services rendered, and that his occupation was that of servitude, and not of tenancy. The Revising Barrister said it seemed to him that Mr. White was in the same position as that of the surgeon, and that he must refuse the applica tion. The Rules said, " You shall reside in the house ;" " you shall pre.ide at all courts," &c. This was a restriction, and, as far as the law at present went, he had no power to place him on the re gister. ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR-THIS DAY. The ceremony of electing a successor to Alder man Allen to fill the distinguished position of Lord Mayor of the City of London took place this morn ing. The Lord Mayor, the Aldermen, the Sheriffs, and the chief officers of the corporation having at tended divine service at the church of St. Lawrence, Jewry, from thence proceeded to the Guildhall, where the election from time immemorial has taken place. The mode of election is for the Livery to select two names from amongst those aldermen who have " not passed the chair," and from these the members of the Court of Aldermen select the person upon whom the civic dignity is to be con ferred. The aldermen next in rotation for the honour are Alderman James Clarke Lawrence, of Walbrook, and Alderman Dakin ; and, without some special circumstance should arise, the alder man standing first in order is always elected. There have been departures from the ordinary cus tom, but in the present instance there was no rea son to suppose that ancient usage would be departed from. The Lawrence family has been particularly fortunate in civic honour, for since the arrival of the father of the present candidate, who worked as carpenter with William Cubitt, for the honour of being elected chief magistrate for the richest, the oldest, and noblest cor poration in the world, it has furnished no less than one sheriff and two Lord Mayors in a comparatively short number of years. The usual proclamation and warning for all ex cept liverymen to leave the hall under pain and im prisonment having been made, Mr. JONES occupied a considerable portion of time in putting a series of questions to Alderman Lawrence, in doing which he took the opportunity of passing a glowing eulogium on him for the great exertion he had already made in defence of the liberty of the City, and asked whether after his elevation the citizens might depend upon his aid in carrying forward the great question of technical education, and that he would defend their charters and endeavour to settle the question of bridge master.. Alderman LAWRENCE sail it would be his earnest endeavour to help on the movement mentioned by Mr. Jones. lie knew of no better purposes to which the growing and increasing funds of the livery companies could be applied than in extending the knowledge of technical e lucation amongst the working classes of the City of London. With re spect to the defence of their charters he could only refer to the course he had already pursue I when matters of importance were under consideration. (Cheers.) The names of the Aldermen eligible for the office having been put, Sheriff 'ARTHUR declared that the election had fallen on Aldermen James Clarke Lawrence by a large majority, and Alderman Thomas Dakin. (Cheers.) The result of the election having been communi cated to the Court of Aldermen for approval, the court afterwards selected Alderman Lawrence for the office. On the return of Aldermen to the Guildhall, the Recorder announced that the Court had selected Alderman J. C. Lawrence for the office of Lord Mayor for the year ensuing. The Town Crier then called forth Alderman Lawrence to state his willingness to perform the duties. The LORD MAYOR elect said he felt deeply the honour his fellow-citizens had that day conferred upon him, and that it would be his greatest endeavour and highest pride to further the interests and in crease the prosperity of the City of London. He felt sure that in the performance of the duties of his office he might count on the support of his fellow-citizens. (Cheers.) The supplies are quite adequate to the demand, and steady rates are paid. Meadow bay, 70s to 108 s ; clover, 80s to 124 s ; and straw, 28s to 34s per load. Supplies of middling qualities are ample, and the trade quiet at late rates. COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. Sugar.—Deliveries continue quite up to those of last year, but the imports are heavier now than at this time last year, and the relative deficiency is not so heavy by 1,200 as it was last week. Tea—Only a limited business is passing, but steady rates are paid. _ _ Coffee—The deliveries continue to indicate favourably of the coffee trade, and are telling perceptibly on the rela tive position of stocks, the samples being reclined by one half within a month. Rum—There is a fair inquiry, and the market is firm. Leeward Island sold at is 9}d, proof stock 29,300 puns against 31,400 puns last year. COTTON MARKET. LITgRrooL, Sept. 29.—Sales, probably 10,000 bales, possibly more, Market very firm, especially American. DISTRIBUTION OF PLANTS.—We are requested to announce that the First Commissioner of her Majesty's Works, &c., intends to have distributed this autumn among the working clasEes and the poor inhabitants of London the surplus bedding-out plants in Battersea, Hyde, the Regent's, and Viotoria Parks, and in the Royal Gardens, Kew. If the clergy, school committees, and others interested will make application to the superinten dents of the parks nearest to their respective parishes, or to the directors of the Royal Gardens, Kew, in the case of persons residing in that neighbourhood, they will receive early intimation of the number of plants that can be allotted to each applicant, and to the time and manner of their distribution. FATAL ACCIDTNT AT THE NEW SMITHFIELD MARKET.—Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, touching the death of John Davidson, aged 19. The deceased was a carpenter, em ployed on the works for the construction of the St. John's street roadway roof of the Now Smithfield Market. On Thursday morning he was at work on the roof, when he fell, and was dashed to the ground. Some men ran to his assistance, and carried him to the hospital. Mr. Groves, house-surgeon, said that the skull of the deceased was fractured by the fall. He died on Saturday from the effects of the injury.

Upon Mr. Patte r son taking his seat on the bench at Greenwich Police-court on Monday, a poor woman made application under the following circumstances. The applicant said that her husband had left home for Birmingham to seek work. At the time of leaving they occupied a room in the house of Mrs. Billups, a midwife, at Deptford. On Tuesday last a child, seven months old, died, and the corpse had been coffined. The goods she had in her room had been sold to a person who allowed her the use of the same until her husband could repay the money advanced, and as she owed 30s. rent, and her landlady (Mrs. Billups) had threatened to distrain on the articles of furniture, on Friday last she removed some of them to another house. When the undertaker went for the corpse with a hearse the landlady would not open the door, and afterwards told the relieving officer that she would not allow the corpse to be taken away. Mr. Patteson in structed Inspector King to see Mrs. Billups, and to inform her there was no pretence for detaining the corpse for rent due, and that it was to be given up, her remedy being upon the articles of furniture left in her house. Sir James Fergusson will not leave England for South Australia till November. The army worm has appeared in portions of Georgia, and is doing serious damage to the late cotton orop. Sir Frederick Halliday has, we (Scotsman) un derstand, been appointed a member of the Indian Council —an appointment which is, of course, incompatible with a seat in Parliament. A clerical candidate for a lectureship was called upon to preach before the trustees. In order to show his cleverness he chose for his text the single word " but." He thereupon proceeded to show that no position in life is with out opposite trial, and illustrated his text by many passages from Scripture, Naaman was a mighty man, but he was 1 leper, &c. When the candidate came down from the pulpit the senior trustee politely remarked, " Sir, you gave us a most ingenious discourse, and we are much obliged to you, but we don't think you will do for us." Some days ago at a Dumfries fair a young woman, too obviously "from the country," was sten standing with a very perplexed air at the pillar letter-box in Nith-place, in front of the Mechanics' Institution. She was observed to knock several times on the top of the iron pillar, pos sibly expecting that some communication would be thrown open from the interior for the transaction of business, but obtaining no response she passed round to the opposite side, and, raising the cover of the slit in which letters are placed, she applied her mouth to the aperture and called out loud enough for the amazed bystanders to hear, ",Can ye let me hae a postage stamp?" On Saturday a singular accident occurred at the .Cricket-road Coalpit, near Sheffield. This is a new colliery, and the headgear having been fixed, the temporary "logs," used in the sinking of the shaft had to bo taken down. The rope was fastened to it, and after passing over the headgear was attached to a "crab" more than a hundred yards off. A dozen men were stationed at the crab to regulate the descent of the "legs," but when the timber, weighing about two tons, was partly lowered it overcame the resistance of the men, and the two arms of the crab were whirled round with great velocity, throwing off and striking the men, one of whom, Richard Binns, was killed almost instantly. Four or five others were more or less injured. A further discovery of coal (says the Nottingham Guardian) has been made in the neighbourhood of this borough. A geologist and colliery engineer, who has been making a professional survey of Old D. ford, finds that the coal ke3MS extend under lands now occupied by buildings, and that the minerals therein are of great value. This quite upsets the theory of coal not lying on tho east side of the valley of the river Lee.. A few years ago coal was found, and is now being obtained by the Duke of Newcastle front his pits at Shire Oaks ; and more recently the Nottingham Waterworks Company have been sinking for water adjoining to Bulwell Forest, and found coal. A correspondence is published in the Eastern Morning News between Mr. Norwood, M.P. for Hull, and the Treasury, with regard to the County Courts Admiralty Jurisdiction Act. Mr. Norwood, who is the author of the Act, asks when the Lord Chancellor intends putting it into operation. To this question Mr. Nicoll makes re ply on behalf of the Treasury :—" Soon after the passing of the County Courts Admiralty Jurisdiction Act 1 received directions from the Lord Chancellor to write to the Judges of the different circuits in which there wore seaports, and request them to forward the names of the courts in their respective circuits which, in their opinion, should be appointed to have Admiralty jurisdiction, and to state the districts which should be assigned to them. Upon the return of the Lord Chancellor to town, these answers will be considered and a scheme proposed. Whether the scheme will be published before submitted to her Ma jesty in Council in the shape of an order I do not know, but I think it likely that it will be." CRICKET IN AMERIcA.—TIie New York Herald thus discourses on the visit of the "All England Eleven" to America :—" In regard to their success in winning matches on their tour, there is but little doubt of their being victorious in every contest, though their task is not the comparatively easy one that the ' eleven' of 1859 had. Previous to the advent of the former ' eleven,' considerable curiosity was manifested in this country to see the celebrated All England Eleven play, Then cricket, as a field sport, enjoyed a popularity it does any means, one cause of this change being n the fact by that we now have what we did not then possess, viz., a national game of ball ; one too, which, in the quickly-played, lively, and 'exciting contests it yields, and in the manly attributes of pluck, courage, endurance, activity, and judgment required to play it skil fully, rivals any game or sport now in vogue—cricket, according to the opinion of the large majority of our oitizens, appearing, by contrast, a tedious and uninterest ing game. That a different and more favourable condition of things for the interests of cricket would have existed had our resident English cricketers observed a less exclu sive and more liberal policy of action in the government of their clubs, we have not the least doubt. But instead of this being done, an English exclusiveness has marked the government of the leading organisations, while no encouragement has been afforded young players, or the least effort been made to Americanise the game, by ridding it of the tedious and annoying delays incident to as practised in this locality." There appears to be no doubt as to the popularity of the King or Prussia in Northern Germany. At Hamburg he has received a welcome so hearty, that it took him quite by surprise. At Altona, in Holstein, he was equally well received. Charles XV., King of Norway and Sweden, as the Norwegians say—King of Sweden and Norway, as the Swedes say—is just now visiting his Norsk capital. The beautiful fjord is gay with flags and bunting, and the rather ugly Greek building which does duty as a palace, and is generally left to the care of one sentinel, is alive with guests. The Norwegians are, though the founders of our proudest nobility, the most democratic people in Europe. They have abolished nobles in their own country, and they hire a king at so much a year, who opens for them the National Assembly, the Storthing, which is really their sovereign. King Charles, nevertheless, always receives a hearty welcome at his triennial visitations. He is probably the hand somest sovereign in Europe, and is remarkable for his bonhomie as well 'as literary talent. This last quality is shared by his wife, a member of the Dutch Royal Family, and a firstrate linguist. Their only child, the Princess Louisa, does not inherit her father's good looks, but is decidedly plain. She is now betrothed to the Crown Prince of Denmark, brother to the Princess of Wales. The Daily News appears to have a superfluity of corre spondents. One has just been travelling north from Madrid to St. Sebastian ; another has been travelling (special) south to Madrid. Writing on the 25th and the 26th, they seem to have heard rather less of the insuims tion than we heard. All the telegraphs were then in the bands of the Government, who would not allow any but favourable information to be transmitted. Conse quently, the cOrespondents were so little able to appreciate the gravity of the:insu rrection, that they did not apprehend it would lead to the abdication of tho Queen, much lele to, any_auto tikedynutyt VICTORIA CLUB BETTING-THIS DAY.

SHEPHERD AND EAGERS. The scullers race for £2O a-side, between George Shep - herd and Edward Eagers, both of Chelsea, the latter manager to Mr. R. Bain, the boat-builder of Lambeth, was rowed from Putney to Mortlake. Both are well-known in aquatic circles, and obtained a fair amount of support from their respective partisans, the odds at and before the start being 6 to 4 on Shepherd. John Phelps, of Fulham, was referee; Mr. Rhodes umpire for Shepherd; and IV. Spencer, of Chelsea, for Eagers. The latter lost the toss, and had the outside berth. Shepherd at once drew in advance, and was half a length a-head at the Star and Garter; he increased it to the Point, where Eagers came up, and here Shepherd caused a foul. A fine race ensued again for 200 yards, when Shepherd again fouled, and so continued the rest of the way, ultimately coming in half a length ahead. The referee decided in Eagers's favour on the first foul. The performance was but medium on both sides. THE IRISH CHURCH ES7 ABLISHMENI.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Major-Gen. Freeman Murray, commanding the division at Chatham, was yesterday engaged in making his official half-yearly inspection of the Ist Division of the Depot Brigade, Royal Artillery, under the command of Lieut.-Col. W. S. Mann, at head-quarters, Sheerness. Major-Gen. Murray, who was accompanied by Brigade-Major W. W. Lynch, was received by Lieut.-Col. J. W. Lovell, C. 8., commanding Royal Engineers, Capt. F. E. B. Beaumont, and the other officers of the staff, and proceeded, on his arrival, to the military hospital and other establishments, in the inspection of which ho was occupied for some time. After completing his inspection of the hospital buildings, Major-Gen. Murray proceeded to the parade-ground within the fortifications, where the officers and men attached to the five batteries forming the Depot Brigade were drawn up in marching order, awaiting his ar rival. In the course of the inspection the battalion was exercised at field-gun drill. The afternoon was devoted to target practice, with the heavy guns mounted on the batteries seaward. A general regimental order, signed by Col. G. Gambier, C. 8., Deputy-Adjutant-General, Royal Artillery, has been issued from the Horse Guards, announcing that in consequence of another accident having occurred from the premature explosion of a 12-pounder breech-loading cartridge while at exer cise, resulting in the loss of the arm of one of the gunners, his Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief directs that, for the future, each gun be sponged out after firing, previous to re loading, both with practice and exercising ammuni tion. His Royal Highness holds officers command ing brigades and batteries responsible that this order be strictly adhered to. Attention is further directed to the making up of the exercising ammunition, which is invariably to be performed, if by Royal Artillery, under the superintendence of an officer, and, when practicable; by men who have been in structed in the Royal Laboratory of the Royal Ar senal, while the greatest care is to be taken that the cartridge is of the latest authorised pattern and size, in accordance with the War-office authority. Should any exercising cartridges of the previous pattern for 9-pounder or 12-pounder breech-loading rifled guns be still in possession, their use is to be discontinued.
