The half-yearly meeting of the above company was held in the Exchange Rooms, Manchester, at noon yes terday; the Earl of Yarborough in the chair. The CHAIRMAN very briefly addressed the proprietors, Alluding specially to the canals, which he said were 801 losing concerns, though be believed they were not the sources of so much loss to the company as they would have been had they been in the hands of competing companies.—(Hear.) During the present half year th. losses upon the canals appeared much greater than they had done on previous halt year?, which was partly owing to a severe frost, which taste l upwaris of a month. The company had a considerable quantity of goods to deliver on the line of the canals, and during the continuance of the frost they had to incur a great expenditure for cartage to places where the canal could not be navi gated, and where the railway did not reach. He be lieved that the accounts of the present half-)ear were the worst that would ever have to be lad before the shareholders.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.")

With reference to the canals, it was considered desirabl that the directors should impress upon Mr. Ricardo, M.P., the propriety of having carried out the polio} which he had some time ago stated be should recom mend. It was considered by some parties that the works at Great Grimsby should be suspended for a period, and upon that point the opinion of Mr. Stephenson, an inde pendent engineer, had been taken, and he had expressed a decided conviction that it was for the interest of this company that the works should be carried on.—(Bear, bear.) The Humber Ferries business had been placed in the bands of Mr. Carter, solicitor, of Birmingham, who wrote to the different individuals connected with the Humber Ferries purchase, and they had decided not to refund any of the money which they had received, unless so far as there had been a miscalculation of interest in the secretary's office.—(Elea, bear, and Shame.); The report having been taken as real, The CHAIRMAN proposed that that, together with the accounts, should be adopt( d.

Another ground of apparent increase was to be accounted for by the charges for repairs of rolling stock, which the directors were determined to keep up in the highest state of efficiency.' There was also a large item for law r xpenses, which was taken at an estimate of 1,0001. Of this sure only 2501. had been incurred during the 'art half-year, the remaining 750/. being ar rears of former half-years, including the charged con nected with same expensive appeal cases on rates. The arbitration with Mr. Crawshey was still in suspense. With regard to the suit against Mr. Hudson. it was making progress in Chancery, and the question ha I been put why the directors rh )ul , l not accept a certain sum down, or refer the case to arbitration. He had no hesi tation in saying that as long as they considered the di- rectors able to manage their affairs, they ought to allow this matt rto remain in their hands. This was a demand for restitution, and not a case for arbitration. Ile had formed a strong opinion of whet ought to be revired from Mr. Hudson, and would not consent to take less. With respect to the claims against two other of the late directors (Mr. Davies and Mr. Richardson) tha directors had made a conditional arrangement, receiving from them half the premiums which the shires were worth on the day that they were appropriated to then. An item on land purchases of 3.4431. 18s. 61. hat been paid for interest, on the completion of conveyances, which sum in most companies was placed to capital account, but they thought it better to carry it at once to revenue. With reference to the Electric Telegraph Company, ne gotiations were going on; and he trusted that arrange , ments would be effected, giving to this company a fair remuneration for the capital which they bad laid out in telegraph works. The arrangement with the Air and Calder Company was a bringing together of parties who had looked on each other as natural enemies. He hoped that this arrangement, whilst it secured a fair rate of toll, would not prevent that healthy competition which was essential for the protection of the public. With re ference to the affairs of the company generally, al though they were not met .under prosperous drown stances, they had much better prospects than existed six months since, and he hoped that the various changes and reforms which were being affected would tend to in creased receipts and decreased expenditure. H e th en moved the adoption of the report, which was agreed to unanimously. Mr. RAMSEY then moved that counsel's opinion be taken with a view to legal proceedings against Mr. Hud son and the late directors, and such officials as had been instrumental in falsifying the accounts of the company; but the motion was negatived nearly unanimously. The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of a resolution declaring a dividend of 51. per cent. without deduction for income-tax; which was agreed to. The CHAIRMAN observed that last week their receipts were 10,6181., being the highest amount (with one ex ception) that the company had ever received. The CHAIRMAN proposed a resolution, agreeing to accept 1,2501, from Mr. James Richardson, and 1,0001. from Mr. Davies, in respect of shares received by them as directors and subscribers to the Whitby Building Company, such arrangement not in any way to prejudice the claims of the company against them in respect of any other liabilities as directors of this com puny, either solely or in conjunction with other directors. The resolution was carried. Mr. ItAstsEY enumerated some defalcations which had occurred from time to time, and asked if bonds had been taken from the clerks? • The CHAIRMAN—They bad in all new appointments, and in the case of old servants such was being done. Mr. BULL moved a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors, and in doing so, stated that he had, the last two eh) s, gone over the main parts of the line and found everything in a most satisfactory state. The vote was seconded, and carried unanimously. , SOUTH DEVON. PIAMOCTII, AUG. 27.—The ordinary half yearly e ing of this company was held at the Royal Hotel, PI) mouth, this afternoon ; Mr. Thomas Woolcombe, the chairman of the board of directors, presiding. Amongst the directors present wore Sir A. Buller, David Derry, J. W. Buller (chairman of the Bristol and Exeter), Ralph Cole, Mr. Morgan, F. P. Barlow. and Beal, Mr. W. Cain, secretary, and Mr. C. C. Whit ford. There was also a full attendance of shareholders. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN the notice tor con verting the meeting was read by the secretary, and the seal was attached to the register of shareholders. The report, which bad bet n previously circulated amongst the shareholders, was then taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, after some lengthened observations upon the state and prospects of the undertaking, moved that the report be received and adopted. Mr. W. PRANCE having seconded the motion, Mr. C. STEVENS then rose, and said he had a resolu - 'ion to the effect, that an extraordinary general meeting ,hould be called on Wednesday five weeki, for the pur pose cf coniidaing and determining whether any and what measures should be a•lopted for the reduction of the expenditure, improving the working establishment, and maintaining the credit of the company, and far gene ral purposes. He then proceeded to state th•tt, as re garded the forfeiture of, shares the shareholders of the company aught not to forfeit re Tie's property without due c msideration. They could not tell what circum stances of monetary pressure prevented them from pay ing, and he therefore begged them not to forfeit !heir shares without it was by reque,t. He then referred to the Bristol and Glouoestt r Railway, which was indebted to the South Deron Railway Company in the sum of 10,0001.; and in the month of April, 1847, notwith standing the shareholders of the South Devon paid 40 par cent., the Bristol and Gloucester Railway had not paid one farthing. He contended, with regard to the contract (or locomotive engines, that the shareholders had a right, every one, of reading and perusing the con ditions and provisions of that contract. He believed the whole of their 6 per cent. bonds to be illegal, and com plained of the sum of 6,4001. having been spent in law charges. He submitted his amendment for the purpose of calling an extraordinary meeting, so that these things should be inquired into. Mr. MOULD seconded the motion. Mr. W. Fox expressed regret that another meeting should be called, and a committee appointed to ir.quire into the affairs of the company, es it would bo the means of bringing discrcdic upon the company, and perhaps do them a deal of mischief. With regard to the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, they had paid part of the money, but its being withheld from them proved a benefit to the company, for they had paid five and six per cent, interest, whereas if the money had been in the bank they would have bad but two or three per cent. He complained that the traffic in goods was not more; but he could tell them, without mentioning names, that parties were in London who contracted with o la!rs at Exeter for goods to be sent there, and instead of th e goods being sent on th e S ou th Devon line, they were conveyed by van here. If a steamer was on the point of 'ailing from London to Plymouth, goods were shipped on board her, and tte railway was thus cheated. He trusted that the company would come to an arrangement with the opposing shareholders, otherwise they would never be able to get on welt. Mr. D. DEBIT, one of the directors, explained that, with regard to the forfeited shares, the greater number of the owners had requested them to be forfeited, and as f,►r the others, they were dead. lie defended the c jn duct of the directors, and statad that they were trying to renew the debenture bonds again; and with regard to the law expenses, he thought those gentlemen who com plained of them were doing that which would involve them in greater costs. Mr. T. STEVENS was of opinion that an arrangement ought to be effected previous to another session of Par liament arriving. Mr. S. DERRY thought it would be unwise to enter into a contract for a long period, inasmuch as some rower might spring up in the course of ten years which would be less expensive. The CHAIRMAN said they should have a contract with the power of relinquishing it to a certain extent, but parties lending money knew full well the value of it, and, therefore, they could not expect to hare it all their own way. Mr. BAYLY asked a question relative to the branch to Sutton Pool, on which The CHAIRMAN replied that they could not go into detail on that matter. Tbo shareholders might rest sa tisfied that the directors had provided such a sum as would be considered amply sufficient to discharge the engagements they had made. Mr. BAYLY, after stating that he held very little in terest in the company, spoke in favour of the amend ment, and concluded by saying that he should propese to lay before the next meeting of the company a state ment of operations, including idle, profligate, sod waste ful expenditure, which ho believed would surprise sad astonish the shareholders of the company. The CHAIRMAN then asked if there was any other g ntleman who wished to speak on the motion, and as there were none, the questions were put, when there appeared— For the amendment ... Against it ... ..• In favour of the original resolution Against it ... --- The original motion was then declared carried. Mr. STETEks essayed to speak, but The CHAIRMAN would not allow him to be heard. Mr. STEVENS persisted in claiming to be heard, on the grounds that they were partners in a mercantile company. He was not, however, allowed to s p ea k . The CHAIRDIAN then proposed the firfeiture of the shares, which was seconded by Dr. DERRY, who said he wished his were being put to the vote as well. Mr. STEVENS a4stin spoke about having an extraordi nary general meeting, observing that if the directors refused to cell one, they would themselves, as be had a sufficient number of aa:-eholders' names on the re quisition. Mr. W. MOORE knew that the directors had the per fect control of the company, and it was a mere matter of form for the shareholders to come there. The Cuantmax, after the last remarks, said the di rectors had the interest of the company in view as much as the shareholders themselves. They had no interest in laying out the money in law charges; but if they were to lay down in the dirt they would neither have law nor justice. The directors were as deeply alive to the misery and mischief which would he in volved by any litigious proceeding as any shareholder could be. ... 32 Mr. STEVENS again wished to speak, but was pre vented by The CHAIRMAN, who said he should feel it his duty to conduct the proceedings in a regular way as long as he was in t , :e chair. Mr. Stevens having spoken before, e could not again hear him. Mr. BATLY again remarked on what he had to say at the next mot ting; and the question was then put by the chairman and immediately carried. The meeting then sep -.rated. YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK. The report of the directors, to be submit•ed to the proprietors on Tuesday next. states that the receipts :or the half year ending the 30th of June amounted to 351.886 L, and foe the corresponding period in 1849 to 323,954/. Niarly the whole of this it:crease has been I produeel during the list quarter. The working ex penses for the half•year ending the 30th of June amounted to 135"31., and for the corresponding period in 1849 to 132,1891. The charges against revenue other than working expenses amounted in the former period to 151,610 L, arid in the latter period to 118,9121. The amount of debenture capital has been increased since the 30th of June, 1849, to the extent of 215,0004 entailing a corresponding additional burden fur interest. In toe former half-year there was a large sum for interest charged to capital account for unproductive works, and during the present half- year there is no such charge in the accounts. The directors propose to carry to capital the sum of 35,4021., the balance stpearing on the Great North of England purchate account; but a sum of upwards of 10,000/. arising from unpaid dividends on and calls re ceived in respect of shares which will have to be for feited, will then be carried to the credit of that account • in reduction of that sum. Since• the last half-yearly meeting the directors have received a further sum of 10,000/., making 50,000/. of the amount agreed to be paid by Mr. _ Hudson in settlement of the claims of the company upon him; but the sum due from him in re specs of thd Sunderland Dock has not yet been paid, al though the directors.had expected when they made the arrangement with him that the whole amount would have . been received before this time, and have used their utmost exertions to obtain payment, but without effect. The directory, however, hold securities for the amount. The net divisible balance out of the proper earnings of the half-year amounts to . 62,212/, which, added to the net ba• lance, 1,5001, from the last account, increases the amount to 63,7131, out of which the directors propose to pay a dividend at the rate of 2f per cent. per annum, leaving a balauce of 2,2891. to be carried to the next account. The purchase debentures to be delivered to the Great North of England Railway share holders are in active preparation, and the purchase will be completed in October next. On tie Ist of July, 1853, 796,5711 will be payable; on the Ist of January, 1855, 1,062,095/. will be payable; and 796,6711. on the Ist of July, 1856, unless other ise agreed upon by those en titled to these, The Sunderland Dock was opened on the 20th of June, and must lead to an'important increase of coal traffic on the Durham and Sunderland branch railway of this company. The directors have taken steps to close the capital account. The amount expended on capital account to the 30th June amounts to 6,667,5071.; due to the corporation of Newcastle,• 15,0001.; estimate of works to complete the railway, 131,6221.; Great North of England purchase, 3,732,902/. ; total, 10,547,0311. The capital account will be closed by a sum of 10,550,0001. NORFOLK. It appears from the statement Of receipts and expendi ture on capital account for the half year ending 30th of June, that 53,0751. had been received, including 10 6004 temporary, .loan, and 37,5001. on account of rolling stock or stores transferred to the Eastern Counties Company, and 50,1471. expended, including 49 000/. mortgage bonds paid off, leaving a balance of 2,9271. The Lowestoft Railway and Harbour account shows that 344,673/. bad been received on capital account, and 346,216/. expended, leaving a balance against the company of 1,542/. The re►enue account fur the half-year ending the 4th of July states that 5,495/. had been received, including 2,8581. from the harbour, and 2,084/. from the railway, and 3,8461. expended, leaving the baiting , ' of profit 1,6481. LEEDS AND THIRSIC. The directors of this company have issued their half yearly statemect, from which it appears that the receipts on calls to the 30:h June last have been 1,527,9991.; miscellaneous receipts, 14,5351.; loans, 471 2051.; inaklug a total of 2,013,740/.; besides which there is an item of 22,429/. under the head of " other advances," which appear to have been made to the company prier to the 31st Dtcernber last.

Courtenay, Gray, and Ault's, directors, tiok the it seats, but only about a des , n share holders attended, and the number present were in3nffi cient to constitute a legal meeting. The CHAIRMAN entered into a full explination of the Railway Abandonment Act, and it probable effect if put into execution, when the whole of the shareholders pre sent cordially agreed with him in the opinion that it wag not desirable, for the present at all events, that the company should place itself within its operation, coupled as it is with the notorious and much condemned Wind ing-up Act Th© directors expressed their intention of forthwith paying to the shareholders 2i. 44. per share, being a year and a half's interest at the rate of a fraction less than 4 per cent, per annum on the paid-up capital, pur suant to the powers of their Act. This announcement was received with much satisf.tetion, and alter a vote of thanks to the ctairrnan, the meeting adjourned. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW. The 25 , 11 halt-yearly meting of this company was held on Tuesday in Gla-gow ; Mr. P. Blackburn, of K llearn, chairman of the directors, in the chair. The report was then read. The CHAIRMAN stated that the report and accompany ing 31;eas explaired as fully as the directors were able to do it the financial position of the company. The board regretted most sincerely that they had to present that most objectionable feature —a reduced dividend. The board was equally interested in this matter with the shareholders, and nothing could give them greater plea sure than to tee an extended traffic-table and a large di vidend, but so long as the expenses had not increased the board could not take any blame to themselves on ac count of the diminished returns from traffic, for el, r this they had no control. As to the competition with the Cale donian, which commenced in the beginning of the year and lasted two months, he vies glad to say that an ar rangement bad been entered into. The Cale (lonian direc tors had met the board in the fairest spirit, and though aealous to make the best terms possibla, matters bad been so settled that they would do nothing injurious to the. Edinburgh and Glasgow Company which did not be nefit themselves. There was one point to which he would allude, in the hope that every shareholder would exert himself to provide a remedy. lie alluded to the extrema pressure of the rates and taxes charged upon all railway companies. In this respect he contended that they were unfairly treated by Government, and quite unable to help themselves. Of these rates this company p cent ai d no less h of t heir t heir net tadni dividends. 3. which amounted vast item, 15 pe and if Government treated them fairly it would take cif the passenger duty, and pass a measure defining the mole in which railway companies were to b© rated for p oor , police, and other local rates. In the mean time every parish thought it right to grasp as much from railway companies as possible. Including the income-tax, this company paid away no less than 18 per cent. of its revenue. lie might mention that singe the last half-yearly meeting they had paid off debentures to the amount of 80 000/. To make up for this the board had borrowed.2s,ooo/. upon other terms; but as compared with last half-year there was now 55 000/. less debt owing out of the company than there had been. The Edinburgh and Glasgow bad now all its liabilities before it, with the exception of the Wilsontown tied Bathgate. The Stirlingahire junction would be opened in the c.,urse of a few days, and after this the preference would be payable out of revenue. This would amount to 8,000/. a year; but ho hoped the increased traffic would make it up. They were aware that a dispute existed with the Stirling and Dunfermline line. The Edinburgh and Glasgow Company declined to take it, for the reason that it was not the line for which they originally bar gained, and had now no access to the town of Stirling. He had no doubt the justice of their case would be main ta;ned in a court of law. Mr. T. HILL then addressed the company at great length on the claims of the Edinburgh and Lt.ithgate to an amalgamation with the Edinburgh and Glasgow it 4 per cent., instead of 21 per cent. as now offer , d. Mr. G. W. Myra asked if any progress had been made towards the amalgamation with the l'uledonian. The CHAIRMAN replied that some meetings had been held, but no real progress bad been made. Too Cale donian board, since it was fornr)(3, had been so much taken up with its own difficulties that thin subj,et bad been left over in the maan time. He retained his opi nion as to the desirableness of the amalgamation. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the usual resolutions, including the payment of a dividend of 2} per cent. on the 16th of September, which were agreed to. SUNDAY TRAINS. Mr. Cox, of Edinburgh, inZMovel that a morning and evening train be run ahng the line on Sunda' s, which was seconded by air. PATON . Mr. M‘FIE, of Wailhouse, moved, as an amendment, that neither goods nor passenger trains be run on the Lord's-day, which was seconded by Mr. BLACADDERi After a very lengthened discussion, in which several clergymen Mk put, a 51291 v 91 hods woe ken, when LAYING THE FOUIVDATION STONE Qp THE HOLLOWAY RAGGED SCHOOLS. - In the above locality, supposed by rimy to be en tirely eceupied by parsons of wealth and respectability, it was rimer ained, through the London City Mission, that there were no less than 1,000 children needing in struction, and that the greater portion of 570, under 14 years of age, attended no school whatever; and in one street, called Brand-street, containing only 68 houses, 19 of those houses had each produced a convict. This state of things i iduced the district clergy, aided by several benevolent individuals, to establish a ragged school in Brand-street, which has continued successfuily, until it was at length found necessary to obtain increased eccemmodation, and accordingly a piece of freehold ground was recently purchased in the Hornsey-road, to form a site for new school-rooms, with residence for the master and mistress. A plan fur the same was gratuitously suppiisd by James Harrison, EN.. gratis tect, with the farther kind off-r of superintending the erection e f the building, also gratuitously, and which ws s accepted. Yesterday was fixt.ci for the important ceremony of layieg the f_ undation stone by Henry Pownall, L•ri . the President tend Chairman o f t h e Middlesex Magistrate*, for which the usual preparation of erecting a marq ue with seats beneath, weie made, and above floated a va riety cf il , gs, &c. Prior to the ceremony, the numerous assemblag e of ladies and gentlemen who had attended to witnes s the same were gratified by sn inspection of the ornameetsl trowel, malls t. and lerels, and also a coloured draw. ins of the it tended stmcture, whichwill cbatelnins,otnhee Tudor style, th e ma t er i a l re d brick, with dressings, the whole having an exceedingly neat, though elegant appearance. The dimensions are, depth 50 feet, breadth 28 feet, and extreme height 48 feet. The in terior is ornamented by what is called an antique open timber roof. It will be capable of accommodating about 600 children of both sexes. Shortly before one o'clock the following gentlemen arrived en the ground, viz.:—l3. Pownall, Esq., Mr Sheriff Nicoll. Mr. Deputy Lott, the Rev. D. Wilson, vicar of Islington; the Itev. J. Kiegsmill, chaplain of the Model Prison ; as also the Revs. D. B. Parnther, D. Magill, J. Branch, and M. W. Lusignan; R. M. Phillips, Esq., treasurer; S. J, Aldrich, &q., honorary secretary; James Harrison;Etq.,honorary architect; Mr. W. Trego, builder, &c., and took their places around the stone, which bore the following inscription:-- " This stone was laid by Henry Pawned', Eeq , the President,'2Bth August, 1850. Richard Marshall Phil lips, Esq., treasurer; Stephen J. Aldrich, Esq., honorary - secretary; James Harrison, Esq., honorary architect; William Tre,, ,, o ' builder." The Rev. D. WILSON having invoked a blessing on the undertaking, the stone was raised, the trowel h an d e d to Mr. Pownall, wh o sprea d the mortar, and the lowering to its final destination, levelling, &c., succeeded, when it (the stone) was declared to be duly fixed. Mr. Powneet. then addressed the assembly, saying that be had to congratulate every one present at the happy work in which they had been that day engaged, for whether those present were contributors to the fund for erecting the building, or parents of the children about to receive the b!essings of that truly Christian institution, all must feel an interest in the Christian re sults likely to flow therefrom, and in the consequent promotion of the happiness and welfare of a great portion of the community, and this feeling would, he trusted, find a lodgment in tie breasts of the more lofty and wealthy. Those who had for years past taken an active part in forwarding the education cf the poor must feel truly thankful to the Almighty for the successful issue of their labours; for, considering the immense increase of our population, the number of cri minals was comparatively few, and was daily decreasing, and would continuo to decrease the more they called to their aid such schools, together with the assistance of ministers of the gospel. After showing that children who basing grown up in ignorance, and become parents, were incapable of imparting knowledge to their chil dren, and were thus tending to perpetuate ignorance, vie-, and misery, he proceeded to say that now educat ing these children might probably reclaim by instruct ing the parents, and all, doubtless, were now imbued with a desire to educate those who could not educate themselves. Children must be taught the duties of religion, to honour and obey their parents. if parents expected from their children that solace, affection, and respect in their declining years, which proper education alone could produce. They might feel assured that those who here not so instructed, who were ignorant of their duties as Christians to God and their fellow man, would neither make good husbands, good wives, or dutifol children.—(bear, bear.) He trusted that the constant attendance of the children, and their good con duct therein, would crown the efforts which had been made, and show tbe success of these schools; and he hoped that, for many years to come, the seeds which they had sown, and the plants they had planted, would promote virtue and love to all, and produce in that neighbourhood a happy, industrious, contented, and Christian pipulation. In conclusion, he hoped God would bless all who ha I contributed to the funds and assisted in promoting the cause; and should any of the children l deca - ed there in be destined to go to foreign !Bride, he hoped they would carry with them all the good religious prieciples which they had received—aim they would ever retnewher they were taught religion and virtue in the Holloway li..egv,e,l Schoolr.—(llenr, hear.) The worthy niagiittato concluded a long and eloquent speech, of which the s:b ye is but a brief outline, amidst loud the, rirg. Air. Sheriff' Ntc Lt., in a most e ffective address, se cocci( d b 3 it e Rev. D. MAGILL, proposed thanks to Mr Pownall, which was carried unanimously, •and duly ac knue !edgcrl. A t-iattiar complialet.t. on the motion of Mr. Deputy LOTT , CCUI.d.d by the Rev. J. BRANC/I, in a brilliant and sift c ive address, was accorded to R. M. Phillips, E q , the treason r, to which the latter brie fly replied. A ter thanks to Mr. Sheriff Nicoll, who had come ex pressly from Southampton to honour the proceedings with lis presence, which the worthy Sheriff duly re sponded to, Mr. Deputy LOTT highly eulogised the exertions of Mr. S. J. Aldrich, hon. sec., through which this institu tion had been chiefly brought to its present position, pro posed thanks to that gentleman, the committee, &c., which was seconded by the Rev. Mr. Lusionan, and unanimously adopted. Other complimentary resolutions were also carried, the interesting proceedings terminating with a pathetic and appropriate farewell address by 11. Pownall, Esq., when the company departed. ANOTHER BLOODY AFFRAY IN PHILADELPHIA,— This inc , rning, about three o'clock, a bloody affray occurred at the house of an Irishman, a painter, named Henry Doug. herty, in California-place, mar the corner of the Juniper and Lotubard•streets. It seems that there had been au Irish jollitica ion at the house—a sort of celebration of the siege of Derry—when a tight took place between two boarders there, George Dougherty, a brother of the keeper of the place, and Joseph Smith. Smith stabbed George in the head. At the time Healy Dougherty was asleep. William l'il'Euen, a guest, exclaiming that Smith had cut George Dougherty, Henry Dougherty was aroused, and he and Smith appear to have instantly got into collision. Smith be4an a murderous and brutal assault upon Henry, wounded him in the left shoulder, and nearly biting oil his ear. Smith also stabbed I)l•Eueu in the hand. The two Doughertt s and Smith fell into the hands of the south-west watch. The wounded pri soners were attended at the station-house by Dr. Chaloner. This surgeon considered henry D , ugherty's wounds so se rious as to put his arm, if not his lite, in peril. Smith was covered with blood from head to foot. This morning Smith was brought before tLe mayor &Al committed. No motive is assigned for the outrageous behaviour of the man. Ile must have been crazy with whisky. The whole party were friends, and bad known each other, in the old country and America, for years.—Philadelpheu Bulietin,, Aug. 13. PHENOMENA. OF THE OCEAN.—During the voyage of the barque Harvest, Captain Lackey, of New Bedford, recently returned from a whaling voyage, the fact wail veri fied that the tides about the Polynesian Islands do not follow the Newtonian law of variation. At the request of Captain Lackey, affidavits were obtained from two intelligent indi viduals, who have for twenty years resided among the So ciety ',lands, to the following statement :—" That the time of high water takes place between the hours of eleven and one o'clock, without any variation, unlesi caused by winds. The different phases of the moon have no effect whatever in changing the time of high water. At the full and change the tides are from six to eight inch's higher; the full rise being about two feet." Another interesting result of the voyage was the obtaining of deep-sea soundings in the vici ni,y of the Bermuda Island:. We quote from the narrative, as published in the New Bedford Mercury :—" Here, in lat. 27 10 N., long. 4 ;2 45 IV., on the 20th of April, 1850, the nearest land being Bermudas, bearing N.W. by N., and dis tant 34u miles, water blue with much gulf-weed, weather ca'm, no current, the boat was lowered; let run the lead, and found bottom in 744 fathoms. April 15, lat. 27 31 N., long. 60 3 W., Bermuda bearing N.W. by N., 300 miles, sounded and got bottom in 466 fathoms. April 29, Ist. 29 2J N., long. 64 11 W., Bermudas N.W. by N., ICO sounded and got bottom in 620 fathoms. The time occu pied in running out the line varied from 20 to 30 minute.. The line was constructed thus : First 100 fathoms, five parts of shoe-thread; second, four parts; third, three parts; fourth, two parts; remainder single. The lead weighed about slbs. ; the whole wound upon a ligkt reel, and held by band. In this process of obtaining soundings the lead is nut to be hauled up." SHOCKING DEATH FROM MACHINERY. -"AR tigation took place yesterday before Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, at Guy's Ico pi'al, on the body of William King, aged 17, who died of I, ck-jaw under the following melan choly circumstances :—The deceased was in the employ of Messrs. Miller, the extensive horse hair and flock manufac turers, in Lant-street, Borough. Oa Thursday week he was engaged in rolling some Iw:se-hair, but h.,ving put too much into the machine, sonic portion of it got over the cog whed, which the deceased went to get back, when three of his fingers were pulled in between the cogs of the wheel. Having called out loudly, the engine was stopped, and the three fingers were apparently hanging to the band by a bit of skin. He was attended by a surgeon until last Saturday, when it wit,: thought de , irable to remove hint to the hospital. Oa Sunday, however, tetanus, or leek• jaw, set in, of which he died the same night. Salce the sad occurrence Messrs. Miller have had the cog-wheel covered over, to prevent future accidents. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. A CAREFUL IRISUNLAN.—On Wednesday last', miserably-clad and poor-looking Irish labourer produced no fewer than twenty-One sovereigns at a banking establishment in this town, and requested its remittance to his native country. This sort of business apparently was nothing new to " Pad 'y;'' for when told that if he had an order for the payment of the money after a certain number of days, no discount would be charged, but that if paid at sight it would he instantly preferred the latter course, an d pd co ii co s t nine} r i r 3 n d demand. The same class of the " fi nest in the world, are, doubtless, the very men who, on ss g 3, sacs, t the termination of the harvest and the remittance of every shilling they have earned in this country to their own fair isle, make a regular practice of applying to boards of guar dians for the payment of their f •res back to Ireland, under the pretence of poverty.— Wally/a Journal. .//,3 [PRICE SD.
