0mm....". , RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GREAT WESTERN. The directors of this company have just issued their statement of accounts, from which it appears that 18,356,835/. had been received on capital account to the 30th of June last. The receipts include 1,874,872/. on account of redeemable 4 1 p er cent. stock, 134000/. on account of redeemable 4 per cent. stock, and 1,324,1041. on account of irredeemable 4 per cent. stock, 5,952,4012. on debentures, loans, &c., and 856,0301. de ferred coupons on Birmingham and Oxford and Bir mingham and Dudley Railways. The payments amounted in the aggregate to 18,130,0271., leav ing a balance of 226,8081. The payments in respect of the Great Western, Oxford, Berks, and Hants, Windsor, and other lines, and for locomotive stock, amounted to 10,407,7731., and in respect of (350,0001.) estimated liabilities on the 31st of December, 1849, 256,032/. was expended in respect to the Oxford and Rugby line, 1,161,208/. ; on account of the Bir mingham and Oxford line, 2,893,7691. on account of the wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, 199,275/. ; on account of the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley Railway, 1,097,3351. ; subscriptions and dis bursements to other undertakings, 1,700,7701. (the in terest on which is borne by revenue), including 50,0001. - to the Glocester and Forest of Dean Railway ; 545,0001. to the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway ; 589,1041. to the South Wales Railway, 225,7911. to the South Devon Railway, 185,4031. to the Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton Railway, 70,457/. to the Cheltenham and Oxford Railway, 24,7631. to the Corn wall Railway, and 10,2501. to the Plymouth Great Western Dock ; the sum expended on new rolling stock, under votes of the proprietors, was 192,7501. ; on the Paddington station, 165,5201., on the Paddington Hotel, 42,5421.; and on Bull's-bridge new works and dock, 13,049/. ; making the total expenditure, as above, 18,130,0271. The revenue account for the half-year ending the 30th of June shows that 522,4981. had been received, in cluding 7,0501. by Bristol and Birmingham Railway, for rent, &c., 11,3211. for use of plant by other companies, 2,1591. interest on cash balances, and 3,7441. for rents and registration fees. The expenditure amounted to 233,8361., including 12,1101. for Government duty, and 11,426/. rates and taxes, and leaving a balance of 288,6611. To this sum is added 63,7781., the balance from the last account, and 1,0001. for dividend on the Glocester and Dean Forest shares, making a total sum of 353,4391. Out of this sum is deducted 9031. paid for new works and additions to works on lines opened, 16,4821. amount of annuities guaranteed to shareholders of the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, 1,3281. interest on the Berks and Hants Extension shares, 5,7151. rent of Glocester and Dean Forest railway on 254,0001. at 41 per cent. per annum, 1,2941. rent charge to the trustees of the Paddington estate, 101,208/. balance of interest paid on loans, 41,2101. interest on re deemable 41 per cent. stock, 2,292/. on redeemable 4 per cent. stock, and 13,0411. on irredeemable 4 per cent. stock to the 30th of June ; total, 183,4761., less 12,5231. derived by pre-payment for Birmingham and Oxford and Birmingham and D udle y slaares, making the total 170,9531., and leaving 182,4851. available for dividend. The amount of stock and shares upon which dividend is payable is 8,236,276 1 ., and on which 2 per cent. for the . half-year would absorb 164 ,7 251 ., and leave a balance over of 17,7601. The report of Mr. R. Atkinson, the auditor, and Mr. W. W. Deloitte, the accountant, states, that after the most careful and laborious exami na ti on of the books, accounts, and vouchers, they are again able to testify as to their cor rectness, and they feel it only due to the various officers of the company to repeat, what they have stated on former occasions, that the books and accounts are admirably arranged, and afford every facility for examination. The books are balanced monthly, and each month's accounts are examined with the assistance of Mr. Deloitte, who has been constant in his attendance at the company's offices for that purpose. The accounts for Parliamentary expenses have not been settled by the directors, and therefore not introduced into the accounts this half-year. Various payments have been made on account thereof ; but as no particulars have been obtained, the account so paid has not been charged to the expenditure, but to the personal accounts of the individuals. The sum of 31,844/., which stood on the 14th of August, 1851, to the debit of the South Wales share account as interest, which had previously been credited to revenue, has been discharged, with the exception of a balance of 6,7931., which still re mains to be discharged in like manner, when the divi dend receivable from that company will be credited to the revenue account, as and when receivable. The suns now remaining to the debit of the South Devon Railway share account for interest already credited to revenue only amounts to 7601., also to be discharged out of divi dends to be received, when the dividend from that com pany will be credited to the revenue account, as and when receivable. The interest on the Birmingham and Oxford disbursement and share accounts is now charged to revenue. The interest on the Birmingham, Wolver hampton, and Dudley disbursement and share accounts is still charged to capital, that line being in course of construction, and no part opened. The interest on all other expenditure for capital, with some very trifling ex ceptions, is charged to revenue, including new locomo tive and carriage stock, new station at Paddington and Paddington Hotel. The profit realised on the sale of a portion of the U 2 per cent. stock has been deducted from the interest charged to revenue on that stock. The great additional charge to maintenance of way arises, in.a considerable degree, from the rise in price of mate rials, especially iron, ,and from the much larger quan tity of those materials which the recent very wet season has - made requisite. The increase in the expense of the locomotive department has been caused partly by extra work, additional mileage, and advance in the price of materials and labour. The balance of 17,760/. is still subject to any result of profit and loss that may be found in the account with the South \Vales Company since the commencement of the lease on the 19th of July, 1852. The debenture statement to the 30th of June last shows that 6,808,431/. had been borrowed, of which 1,344,608/. was at 5 per cent., 248,7131. at 41 per cent 3,194,0711. at 4 per cent., 967,2001. at 3 1 4 - 3 per cent., 953,8371. at 3.1 per cent., and 100,000/. at 3 per cent. EASTERN COUNTIES. The half-yearly report of the directors of this company congratulates the proprietors on the steadily increasing prosperity of the undertaking. The receipts upon the Eastern Counties Railway for the half-year ending the 4th of July amounted to 360,9881., and on the Norfolk Railway to 64,6081. ; together, 425,5961. The working expenses for the like period amounted to 180,6311., leaving a net revenue of 245,064/. ; from this must be deducted die interest upon loans and payment to the Newmarket and Great Northern Companies amounting to 162,689/. ; leaving a net balance of 82,375/. ' to which is added the balance from the last account, 4,3741. making an !available balance of 86,7501., out of which the directors propose that a dividend of ss, per share be paid, which will absorb 85,410/. ' carrying forward 1,3391. to the credit of the current half-year. As com pared with the corresponding period of last year, there is an increase in the gross earnings of 34,4211., and a --grease in the general working expenses of 9691., also a reduction in the interest on the guaranteed stock of the company, and loans of 1,807/. On the other hand, there is an increase in the rates and taxes of 3,1611., and Government duty of 649/., with an additional payment to the Great Northern Company of 4,200/. Thus, with an increase of traffic upon the half year of 34,4211., there is of net half-year's revenue divisible among the proprietors 29,1431. more than the corresponding half-year of 1852 ; or, in other words, that 15,0381. was taken from the rest in 1852 to pay a 4s. dividend, and 3,0351. this half-year to pay the ss. divi dend now proposed. The capital account has been in creased during the half-year 66,8911. The report enters at some length into the proceedings in Parliament which the directors were obliged to adopt with regard to va rious bills affecting the interests of the company. The bill for the railway to Woodfard and Loughton has passed through Parliament and received the Royal assent. This bill was classed in the House of Commons with the bill promoted by the East and West India Dock and Birmingham Junction Railway Company for making a railway from their own line at Hackney, across the t Eastern Counties Railway, to Woodford, and after a de termined contest the committee decided in favour of the an former. The bill promoted by the Eastern Union Com- Penc3er,eratrer proposing certain dealings with their prefer es, sought running-powers over the line between Colchesterc,f London, and an extension to Peter ofro the last session, granted by the East Anglian act Preparation ion, which were restricted to that line. 8 We re made to defeat uncalled-for and un nit attempts on th to interfere with thee part of th e E as t ern U n i on C ompan y Counties Company. l i g t hts and properti es of the E a stern was h not u n til t h e even i ng pre vious to the me e ti ng ofe committee on the bill that the Eastern Union Com pany cast withdrew all the clauses from the bill affectin g tia Counties C om p an y. The directors deem it a matteerrnfpr consideration whe ther in the next session of Parliament, this company should not promote a bill for al iiin.f.,l3'eemipdent ea The necessaryndent line to th e new cattle-market in Copenhagen-field s . Loughton steps for the construction of the Woodford and is expe c t e d line are being taken. The line to liarwicli to be open for traffic on the Ist of May next. A branching out at Stratford, to connect the main line ne with the East and West India Dock Junction line i rapidly approaching completion, and, with a view to s meet increasing traffic expected to accrue upon the op en . ing of the new station at Fenchurch-street, and th e completion of the Tilbury and Southend line, the direc tors have given instructions for the laying down of a third line of rails between the junction of the Blackwell line at Bow and Stratford, being a distance of about one mile. An extension of the line from Newmarket to Bury St. Edmund's is expected to be completed in October next, when the Eastern Counties Company will take the entire management of the Newmarket extension lines. The directors regret that the competition between the Eastern Union and Eastern Counties Companies still continues, and they can o nl y re p eat their disposi tion to meet the Eastern Union Company, for the pur pose of making fair and equitable traffic arrangements, whenever that company are disposed to do so. The report of Mr. J. V. Gooch, the locomotive super intendent, states that the number of miles run by the trains during the last half-year was 1,625,274 ; the cost of working, 67,3091., and the miles of railway worked, i 3, i 4341 ; an d in th e c orresponding period of ,185,628 miles were run, the cost of working miles ut., and th e l ength of ra i lway wor k e d, 327 - work o ; s ir l ita t an increase in the length of rail way ed of 439,646 miles; miles, in the number of miles run per.see of 17,761/ . a r T i l l a decrease in the working ex hedf-year ending the 4tl e average cost of working in the mile per train, including ° I July, 1850, was 17 . 22 d per and in the half-year ending the 4th of Jul last, the cost July . per mile per train,• for locomotive power. C omparin including7-88d. per mile per train in 1850 with thgattoh; cost of working 1 853, a saving of 49,3061. is shown on the half-year ending the 4th of ' July last. The increase in the number of miles run by the trains over that of the half-year ending the 4th of July, 1852, was 152,164 miles, attended by an actual decrease of expenditure of 8941. It may be remarked that this result is contrary to that usually arrived at by almost every other railway company, for it is generally urged by the managers that an increased mileage always involves an increased expense. It appears from Mr. Gooch's report that the cost of coke to the company during the half-year has been increased by 3,5891., in consequence of an award to the Northumberland and Durham Coal Company. Considering the probable increase in the price of coke and in materials and labour, he does not promise any further reductions in the cost of working that department. The trains have been worked with safety and regularity during the half-year. The report of Mr. P. Ashcroft, the superintendent of way and works, states that they are in a very satis factory state of repair. The labour in maintenance for the past half-year is under 301. per mile. The ac counts are made up, as previously determined upon, at the rate of 901. per mile per annum, the difference between that sum and the actual cost being credited to the re newal fund. The wages and materials for maintenance on the Eastern Counties Railway amounted to 321. Bs. Bd. per mile, and on the Norfolk to 351. 2s. Bd. per mile ; the cost of materials on the former line being 21. 7s. per mile, and on the latter 71. 15s. per mile. The capital account to the 4th of July last shows that 9,775,6111. had been received and 9,822,1501. expended, leaving a balance against the company of 46,5381. The share capital account shows that 5,843,3001. is the amount of consolidated stocks, of which 12,597/. are in arrear, and 2,554,876/. in guaranteed stocks, of which 26,2921. are in arrear. The total amount of share capital entitled to dividend is 8,369,286/. The bond debt account shows that 182,500 1 . is borrowed at 5 per cent., 318,850/. at 44 per cent., 143,0001. at 4t per cent., 330,6501. at 4 per cent., 217,100/. at per cent. 66,582/. at 31- per cent , 55,000/. at 3t per cent., and ' 2,0001. at 3 per cent., making together 1,315,9821. The permanent way re newal fund shows a balance of 20,8741. in favour of the account. The revenue account for the halt-year ending July a, on the Norfolk Railway, shows that 64,608/. had been received, and 32,2931. expended according to the average cost per mile on the Eastern Counties Railway, leaving a balance of 32,3151., out of which is deducted 27,3491. for Norfolk guarantees and loans, and 4,7331. for interest on rolling stock, &c., purchased by the Eastern Counties Company, leaving a balance of 2311. The number of miles run by the trains on the Eastern Counties line was 1,240,998 ; on the Norfolk line, 300,025 ; on the East Anglian and Newniarket lines, 131,919 ; total, 1,671,942 miles. The average con sumption of coke] for passenger engines was 17.081 b. per mile, and for goods engines 33 . 661 b. per mile per train. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the retort, I adverted to various items in the accounts, and said, ti 29 1 directors were not sure that they were not justified in pro posing a dividend of 2i per cent. insteati of 2 per cent., still leaving a surplus to meet the contingencies arising from the litigation with the Shrewsbury and Chester Company. (Cheers.) The proprietors would see that there had been a large increase in the receipts of the company during the past half-year ; and if there were no reduction in the expense of litigation, they could continue that dividend at Christmas, and, perhaps, increase it to 2i per cent. out of their own proper earnings. (Cheers.) Under these circumstances, he left the shareholders to say whether they would fill up the dividend of 2 or 2i per cent. for the half-year. After some observations from Mr. IRVINE and other shareholders, The CHAIRMAN said, with regard to the traffic on the line, he was of opinion that from this half-year to the corresponding half-year in 1854 the gross amount would not be less than 120,0001. After briefly alluding to the bill introduced by Mr. Cardwell, enabling small compa nies to enter into working arrangements with larger companies, the chairman concluded by moving the adop tion of the report, which was carried unanimously. Mr. TITHERINGTON thought the London and North- Western should give them an earnest of the 4 per cent. by reducing their charges for the carriage of goods, &c. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN had no doubt that they would reduce the terminal expenses in Manchester for carting goods from 4s. to 2s. or is. 6d. (Cheers.) Mr. IRVING expressed an opinion that the Birkenhead line would be in a better position as an independent com pany. He differed from the chairman as to the amount of the Birkenhead traffic for the next year. Instead of 120,0001., he was of opinion it would reach 125,0001. or 130,000/. Mr. TITHERINGTON advanced a, similar opinion. The CHAIRMAN replied, that all that was stipulated for the London and North-Western had been faithfully per formed. The whole of the Holyhead traffic now passed over the Cheshire junction of the Birkenhead line • and if anything went in another direction it was accounted for. The whole of the directors were re-elected, with the exception of Mr. Isaac Taylor, for whom Mr. Tithering ton was substituted. Mr. H. C. Beloe was unanimously re-appointed auditor. The dividend, as recommended in the report, was adopted, and a vote of thanks to the chairman and di rectors accorded, which terminated the proceedings. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 15, 1853. EAST INDIAN. The half-yearly report of the directors j ust issued congra tulates the shareholders upon having completed arrange ments with the East India Company for the development of that comprehensive system of railways in India which originated with this company. Upon the capital requi site to complete the line to Delhi interest at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum is guaranteedf under terms in other respects identical with those of the first contract. The political benefits which the undertaking will confer upon this country and upon India are second only to the inducements it offers as a largely remunerative means of investment, and the following brief summary of traffic, taken from authenticated documents carefully collated seven years ago, justifies the expectation that the ulti mate receipts of the line will be large beyond any known precedent :—•The estimated cost of the line from Calcutta to Delhi is 10,000,000 g. In the year 1844-5 the traffic between Calcutta and Mirzapore was about 2,222,359 tons of goods, and about 570,000 passengers ; and be tween Mirzapore and Delhi about 1,000,000 tons of goods and 430,000 passengers. Experience in this country warrants the assumption that there will be a large increase upon this traffic ; but, taken as it stands, and carried at exceedingly low rates, with an allowance of 50 per cent. for working expenses, it will produce a net revenue exceeding 30 per cent. per annum on the capital invested. To give effect to the arrange ments contemplated, the Board of Directors propose to issue 400,000 shares of 20/. each. Of these shares 250,000 will be offered, pro rata, to the present holders cf shares in this company, in the pro portion of 21 new shares for each old and each Extension B share ; the remaining 150,000 shares being assigned, at the request of the East India Company, and in consi deration of the ultimate extension of the line by this company to Lahore and the north-western frontier, to the holders of shares in an association entitled the Upper India Railway Company, in accordance with an arrangement made between the East India Railway Company and the Upper India Railway Company, in the following terms : "In the event of the line from Rajmahal to Delhi, and ultimately to the north-western frontier, being in trusted to the East Indian Railway Company, and a capital for that purpose being authorised of not less than 7,000,0001., a proportion of that capital to the amount of 3,000,0001. shall be assigned to the holders of scrip in the Upper India Railway, the whole of that scrip being simultaneously delivered up. "Three of the directors in the Upper India Railway Company shall be elected directors of the East Indian Railway Company, in addition to the present members, by the board of directors of that company, according to the present mode." This arrangement was signed by the chairman of the two companies, in the presence of the chairman and de puty-chairman of the East India Company. In pursuance of this arrangement, ithe board deter mined to recommend for election three directors of the Upper India Railway Company. The directors of that company, however, have declined to. 13e elected in the mode agreed upon, and the necessity therefore for in creasing the board, of which notice was given, no longer exists. It is intended that calls on the 400,000 shares now to be issued shall be made at intervals of three months, at the rate of about 16 per cent. per annum. The first call will be 21. per share. There will also be a call of 11. per share on the shares at present called Ex tension B Shares, and the remaining 181. will be called for at the rate of 16 per cent, per annum. Arrange ments have been made by the bill introduced into .Par liament to carry out the extended objects of the com pany for securing the interests of the holders of the 5 per cent. shares. The works at present under contract are progressing satisfactorily ; nearly the whole of the permanent way for the first section of 121 miles has been shipped ; the rolling stock will at once follow, and it is hoped that this portion of the line may be open for traffic in the course of next year. There being a vacancy in the direction, the Baron de Goldsmid, one of the present auditors, will be nominated to fill the same. From a correspondence between the directors of the East Indian Railway Company and the Hon. East India Company, inserted in the report, it appears that the latter were desirous that the whole capital required for the railways between Calcutta and Delhi should be at one uniform rate of interest, which was objected to by the railway company, the capital of 1,000,0001 hav ing been guaranteed 5 per cent., but the latter company proposed that the capital of the line to Rajmahal, 1,000,000/. at 41 per cent., should be merged in the new capital for the extension to Delhi. The rail way company estimate that the amount of capital re quired to carry the line from Rajmahal to Delhi will be 8,000,000/., and the lowest rate of interest at which it could be raised is 41 per cent. This estimate is for a single line, and is framed on the supposition that it will not be considered desirable, in the first instance, to bridge either of the rivers Saone or Jumna, but, should there be an excess over what is required to complete the line to Delhi, then the surplus may be applied either towards this object, or to the construction of the line from Delhi to the north-west frontier. The railway company will undertake to complete the line in seven years, provided every facility is afforded them in this country and in India, but the East India Board consider that it may be constructed in a shorter period. The report concludes with a favourable notice of the great exertions which have been made by their engineering staff in India, under Mr. Turnbull, to push forward the works and new surveys. The board of directors beg to direct the favourable attention of the shareholders to a letter from Mr. Stephenson, the managing director, on the subject of his remuneration as promoter of the company. It appears that in August, 1849, and February, 1850, the proprie tors passed resolutions securing to Mr. Stephenson and family an allowance of 5 per cent. on the net profis which over and above 5 per cent. should be received on the capital invested in the line from Calcutta to the Ranee gunge collieries. Mr. Stephenson hopes that the proprie tary will have the kindness to extend to the Rajmahal section the percentage they have applied to the first or experimental section. BIRKENHEAD, LANCASHIRE, AND CHE- SHIRE JUNCTION. - The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Saturday at Birkenhead ; Mr. Alderman Bancroft in the chair. The SECRETARY (Mr. Gibson) read the report, which stated that the amount received during the half-year ending the 30th of June, 1852, was 41,4771., and ex pended 22,5601. The amount received in 1853 was 52,4561., and expended 24,9461. Increase in receipts, 10 ,979/. ; increase in the ex p enses , 2,3961.

The directors recommend that a dividend be de clared of Gs. 2d. per 271. 10s. share ; 6s. 3d. per 311. share ; dnd 4s. 60. per 22/. share, being after the rate of 21 per cent. per annum, and that the same be payable on the 20th of August inst. * The receipts include the traffic on the Orleans and Central, Or leans and Bordeaux. and Tours and Nantes lines. n f the nts cure —T h s f deb [A d D it v y 7 b T il i e s , Es a i r E id NT liv ]-- er il a o n l d low st a. o y m 's a l e lill e s o , inappreciable medicine is so well known throughout every part of the civilised world, and the cures that are daily performed by its use are so wonderful that it now stands pre-eminent above all other remedies, more par ticularly for the cure of bilious and liver complaints, dis orders of the stomach, dropsy, and debilitated constitu tions.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Saturday at the offices, St. Helen's-place, Mr. W. Reed in the chair. The report stated that the directors had the pleasure of laying on the table the Shepreth extension lease, with the seal of the Great Northern Railway Company attached thereto. The rent of the railway for the last half-year has been paid by the Great Northern Railway Company, and the dividend warrants will be issued forthwith, deductions being made of lAd. per Cl. ss. stock for expenses of management, and also the income tax. The Royston and Hitchin capital account shows a total of 200,1141., and the Shepreth extension of 66,7221., including a balance in favour of the co m p an y of 1,84/. The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report and accounts, and in reply to a question from Dr. Pocock, said, that the Great Northern Company had abandoned the proposed introduction of the redemption clause into the lease of the Shepreth line, and it did not contain any provision of the kind. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, and de claring a dividend of 3s. 9d, per share, being at the rate of six per cent. per annum, less 10. per share for ex penses of management. The CHAIRMAN explained that the sum of 1,0151. had been accumulated by lending the spare funds of the com pany, at the risk of the directors, and was now brought into the account. The Great Northern Company consi dered that it belonged to them, but, after considerable discussion, it was allowed to stand to the credit of the Royston and Hitchin shareholders. The question for them to decide was as to how they could best dispose of it. After some discussion it was agreed, on the suggestion of the chairman, and on the motion of Mr. Snow, to in vest the 1,0151. in the shares of the Royston and Hit chin Company until the ordinary meeting in February next, when the question as to the final disposal of it would be submitted to the shareholders. The retiring directors were then re-elected, and, after a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting separated. NEWRY AND ENNISKILLEN. The half-yearly report of the directors states that the receipts for the last half-year, on capital account, amounted to 1,0261., and the payments to 5,6991. The bill in Parliament promoted by the company has received the royal assent, and the directors consider it a matter of congratulation that all questions touching the exten sion of their line to the landing quay at Newry, and a junction with the line of the Dublin and Belfast Company, are thus terminated in favour of the company. In the passing of the bill, however, the Board of Trade objected to the introduction of any clause giving power, at pre sent, to make working arrangements with any other com pany, it being at variance with the resolutions of the House of Commons. The directors have come to the con clusion, that until Parliament shall have defined the prin ciples on which working arrangements can be carried out with safety to all concerned, it will be extremely dan gerous for this company to part with the possession of its line, and have, in consequence, decided on putting on the requisite rolling stock forthwith. The engineer states that the line will be completed in a few days, and as soon as the rolling stock can be procured it may be immediately opened. From information received of the present amount of traffic, the directors entertain every confidence that it will prove remunerative to the share holders. The directors regret that the Ulster suit has not been brought to a conclusion, owing to the fact that so many companies are parties to it. They hope, how ever, that shortly after the recess it will be finally dis posed of. The capital account to the 30th of June last, showed that 114,8821. had been received, and 105,6201. expended, leaving a balance of 9,2621. The claims against the company are estimated at 16,1771., in cluding 12,0001. for completing the line and providing working stock, and the assets at 5 7, 4501 ., including 40,3281. expended on land, works, and permanent way.

The latost transactions were chiefly remarkable for the Tetrogressien of West Australian for the St. Leger. At the London Club the reaction commenced, and after some money was laid against him at evens, and at guineas to pounds, 6to 5 was betted against him. The last bet we saw booked about him was 600 to 400. Offers were made to take 4 to 1 about Sittingbourne. The movements relative to the Ebor Handicap were somewhat limited. 400 to 100 was taken about Panto mime ; but 9 to 2 was his current price. Nabob and St. Andrew were each backed for a little money ; the former at 12 to 1, and the latter at 15 to 1. For the Derby, 700 to 100 was taken about Autocrat, 20 to 1 was taken about Boiardo, and 40 to 1 Infidelity colt. RACING FIXTURES F 01?, 1853.

MANCHESTER, Friday.— The depression occasioned in our market last week by political causes has been re lieved in the present week by assurances that Russia has virtually accepted the propositions of the Four Powers, with which terms Turkey will of course coincide. Busi ness has also been favourably influenced by the setting in of weather most propitious to the crops, and by a con sequent decline in the price of grain. The first -named cause of improvement produced an effect upon the tone of the market on Tuesday, which, through a rise of doubts respecting Russia, has since been scarcely main tained. Although, however, the buyers continue more backward in operating than many expected, yet, as everybody considers the Eastern quarrel to be, at any rate, in a much more likely train for adjustment now than it was before, a decided accession of confidence is the result. BRADFORD, Thursday.—Wool—The supplies coming to market, except of colonial, are not an average of for mer years ; and as the spinners, from their long absence as buyers, are getting their stocks more nearly used up, they are now free to look, but cannot afford to give the prices demanded by the staplers. Yarns.—There is more doing in yarns, and anything suitable for shipping is inquired after. In spools there is also a better feel ing, and the business may be considered better than at the closing of the last month. Pieces.—The more satis factory accounts which appeared with this month, give a more cheerful tone ; and altogether things may be said to be better. There is more demand, and prices are firmly maintained. NOTTINGHAM, AUG. 11.—The general business of the town is in a healthy condition, both the hosiery and lace trades being participators of the benefits of the increased and still increasing demand for our goods in all direc tions, but the home and colonial trades, especially Aus tralia, are still our best customers. Orders from the last named place are numerous, although not very ex tensive in amount by each shipper. LEICESTER, AUG. 11.—There perhaps never was a time when greater activity in all branches of our manu factures existed. Worsted yarns are more in request without alteration in price. The wool market is very firm, and as it has held its value during the fear of a European war, now the chance of that seems no longer to exist, it may, by an influx of further demand, obtain another impetus to a slight extent. STATE OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.) LEEDS.—Although the markets have not been of a very brisk and animated character this week, yet there con tinues to be a good steady trade done in nearly all kinds of unfinished goods, as there are in addition to what are sold in the public halls, constant and regular deliveries made direct to the warehouses. On Saturday, there was a fair average business done in both the Cloth-halls ; but on Tuesday the market was generally flat and quiet, especially in the White-hall, where the transactions were exceedingly few and meagre. No doubt one prin cipal reason was, the exhausted state of stocks, which at present embraces very little of a good marketable cha racter. Prices are firm, with an upward tendency. HUDDERSFIELD, Tuesday.—We have had a very good market to day, the demand having been quite equal to the supply. Prices much the same. HALIFAX, Saturday.—We can see but slight altera tion in this market, with reference to yarn and piece goods, as compared with last week's report. There continues a fair moderate demand for low and middle qualities of combing wool, and in those of the bright haired kind in particular a hardening tendency is per ceptible. Short wools move off a little better, and stocks of such, as well as of the long staple, are in rather a re duced state, in both spinners' and staplers hands. BRADFORD, Thursday.—The telegraphic communica tion respecting the Emperor of Russia's pacific inten tions has inspired a buoyant feeling in this day's busi ness, which has caused more inquiries and purchases in every department of the trade, and a slight advance i n the prices of tops, moils, and shorts. The demand runs upon the low and middle qualities of Orleans and Co burgs, and the corresponding descriptions of wools and yarns. Fancy goods are more wanted than they were last year.

A valuable, newly-invented, very small powerful waistcoat-pocket glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known one mile and a half distant ; they answer every purpose on the race-course, at the opera-houses, country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 12 to 14 iles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Telescopes—A new and most important invention in telescopes, possessing such extraordinary powers that some 3i inches, with an extra eye - piece, will show distinctly some, moons, Saturn's ring, an d th e double stars; with the same telescope, weighing only 3 ounces, can be seen a person's countenance th ree m il es and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They supersede every other ki nd for the w a i s t coa t -pocket, and are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers accordingly. Opera and race-course glasses, with wonderful power; an object can be clearly seen, from 14 to 16 miles distant. Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, opticians, have in vented invaluable preserving spectacle lenses. Immediately they are placed before imperfect vision, every object a ppears clear and distinct; the most aged, defective sight becomes bright and brilliant, is brought to its youthful, natural, and original state. Deafness—New Discovery— The Organic Vibrator, an extraordinary powerful and newly-invented instrument, for Deafness, entirely different f ro m all others, to surp ass any thi ng of kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, it is not perceptible ; it enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public as semblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist ance that possibly could be desired.—S. and B. Solomons, Aurists and Opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Observe, opposite the York Hot el, PRICES OF SHARES. IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK. From the Official List.
