~~ r. (4 , f /41` , 7 4 " 1 ?i 1•1 RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. I EASTERN COUNTIES. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the proprietors Ta vern--D. this company took place yesterday at the London Waddington, Esq., in the chair. _ The report, an abstract of which has already appeared in the Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing its adoption, observed that there were one or two items in the document so sa. tisfactory that he could not refrain_ from alluding to them. The first was the repor t of the manager of the locomotive and carriage shops at Stratford, Mr. Gooch, who as they would have seen, had been able to run the large additional a mount of mileage stated in the report at a less cost than had been charged for the correspond ing half of the last year. (Hear.) And the other was the report of Mr. Ashcroft, the superintendent of ways and works, who during the severe weather and heavy fl oo ds they had experienced in the course of the last winter, had been enabled out of the sum set, which had been laid down as the future charge for the maintenance and repair of the permanent way, viz., 901, a mile per annum, to keep the line in an efficient state, and to add to the depreciation fund connected with his department, 3,4221. during the half year. (Hear, hear.) This was a result, he believed, unequalled in the case of any other railway in the kingdom. At this particular juncture, when the whole of the rail wa y s o f th e coun t r y h a d been shaken to their centres, and when distrust prevailed in the pub lic mind in respect to railway property in general, he thought it his duty to call the attention of the proprie tors to the last four balance sheets which had been issued by the directors of this company, not only as showing that their traffic was steadily increasing, but as enabling them to form a correct notion of what would be their future expenditure. On referring to the report issued on the 4th of July, 1851, they would find that their gross earnings for the half-year were 366,921/. In the report of the same date, 1852, they were stated at 391,1751., and in the report issued on the 4th July this year they amounted to 425,5961. (Cheers.) The charges for lo comotive plant, permanent way, and miscellaneous ex penses in the same three half-years were 189,9151., 162,3141., and 161,344/. respectively. And with regard to the net revenue, they would find that they had a ba. lance on the first half of the year 1851 of 5,6241. ; on the same half of the year 1852 of 53,232/. ' - and on the half-year just closed of 82,3751. (Cheers.) And this 82,3751. or about 75,0001. more than had be en earned in been earne d d in the corresponding half-year of 1851, without the addition of a s i n gle shilling to the expendi ture incurred in the former period. (He ar, hear.) He would now turn to the charge for interest on guarantees and loans. In the report of the 4 th o f July, .851, their liabilities under this head were 152,939/. ; n that of 1852 they were 153,5981. ; and in the present report they were 151,7901. Thus while incometheigr 3 o 6 s 6, B 92llie had the corresponding half of 1851, increased to 425,596 1 . as compared w and with 391,1751. com pared with the corresponding half of 1852, their total expenses for locomotion, rates, taxes, and all other charges, exclusive of interest, had been 208,3581. for the first half-year of 1851, 177,6451. for the same half of 1852, and 180,5311. for the past half-year. (Hear, hear.) And the total charge for interest on loans and guarantees had decreased by several hundred pounds. From this statement which showed that notwithstanding the in crease of traffic, the expenditure had remained about the same as in, the last year, and were considerably less than in 1851, they would be enabled to judge how far the growing increase of revenue earned upon the Eastern Counties system of railways was liable to be diminished by any increase of the working expenses. In most other companies, as they were aware, the large addi tional receipts consequent upon the more complete de velopment of the traffic had been swallowed up by the additional working expenses ; but their report showed that in the past half-year, of 34,441/. 6s. Bd., which was the amount of the surplus earnings, 29,1431. 6s. 2d. was divisible amongst the proprietors. (Hear, hear.) And comparing the current half-year with the half-year ending July, 1853, the result would be still more favour able as regarded the comparison of this with the corre sponding half-year of 1852, because in the past half year they had six months of the Great Northern gua rantee, amounting to 4,2001., in excess of the corre sponding half-year ending 4th January, 1852 ; whereas the hilf-year they were now in, corresponding with the half-year ending January, 1853, the amount charged would be less that excess. Looking back, then, from week to week, to what the receipts had been in the few weeks that had passed of the current half-year, and comparing them with the receipts of the corresponding weeks of 1852—knowing what the fixed charges were— that they would be about the same as they had been in the half-year ending January, 1853, there was every reason for believing that there would be a considerable increase in the dividend. (Cheers.) The only item to which they would have to direct attention in the way of expense was the locomotive charge ; for in the other items there was no increase of any consequence to be anticipated, and in the locomotive department the total expense in the past half-year had been 61,8451., and there must be a very considerable per tentage upon that to militate to any extent against their growing receipts. If they looked back to the account of the half-year ending January, 1853, they would find that the dividend of Os. a share then paid, was all earned during the half-year except som e 2001. or 3001. taken from the reserve fund, and in the half-year they were now in, so far as they had gone into it, they found that their average earnings were 17,4001. a week, being an average increase about 2,4001. a week, and if they went on to the end of the half year increasing as they had done, or at all approaching to what they were now, there could be no doubt, unless some casualty occurred which no one could count upon, that the next year he should have the pleasure of congratulating them upon a very large increase in the dividend over that of the corres ponding period of the last year. He would now call attention to the future prospects of the company in re ference to the now sources of traffic which were about to be opened to them. The first of these sources was the line from Tilbury to Southend, which he had been in formed would be opened in about a month. In connec tion with that line arrangements had been made for a steam ferry from Tilbury to Gravesend, similar to the Eastern Counties steam ferry at Woolwich ; and steam boats of the first-class were preparing also to run be tween Tilbury Fort and Margate. When that line was opened, and all these arrangements were completed, it was impossible to doubt that a very large addition would be brought to the revenue of the Eastern Counties Company, and that without one shilling of outlay on their part in the shape of capital. The line to Harwich, which it had been expected would be opened on the Ist of May, he had understood might possibly be delayed somewhat later, in consequence of the difficulty of ob taining labour to carry on the works with that energy and expedition that had been intended. It would be superfluous for him to speak of the large increase of traffic that was taking place between the Eastern ports with which their line was connected and Rotterdam, Os tend, and other parts of the continent, for they were fami liar with that subject, but there was one of the continental lines—the Danish line of railway—which he was assured would be opened early in the next year, the importance of which, to them, they could scarcely sufficiently appre ciate. That railway would place that part of the north of Europe nearer to this country by way of Lowestoft than by any other route ; and as steam-boats were now being placed on various parts of the Baltic, they might safely calculate upon a large source of revenue being opened up to them from the traffic with that part of the world, and that without any additional expense to them. (Hear.) Then the Fenchurch-street station would be opened in the course of a few months, .when they would have an additional line of rails between Stratford and Blackwall, and an independent station at the Fenchurch-street ter minus similar to that at Shoreditch, which was abso lutely necessary to accommodate the increased residential and pleasure traffic on their lines. The Victoria docks, upon which a million of money was being expended, not a shilling of which had they to contribute—and the Woodford line, for which the act had been obtained last session, would also be important feeders to the Eastern Counties lines, and looking to all these various sources, he thought they were justified in calculating upon a very large i ncrease of traffic, and except the Woodford line, the new station, and about 18,0001. at Wisbeach, with out expense. n g ;moneythat no compa ny pany (Hear, hear.)

He could not conclud e with out stating, that i t was his conviction and that of his colleagues in the di rection, that the company was now in a state of progres sive advancement, and that if the directors retained the confidence and co-operation of the proprietors, it would —when the various new lines and new sources of traffic were opened, which would be next year—soon become one of the most prosperous and best dividend paying lines in the country. (Cheers.) The motion for the adoption of the report having been and seconded, Dr. O'REILLY expressed his disappointment thaelttthlde capital account was not close d, and until it was h have no confidence in any management , nor, coeuld e he hope for any permanent increa se of dividend. He thought, considering the low price of coke and other items of expense, and the low rate at which money could be borrowed, they ought to have a larger dividend than ss. a share, and until they had he would suggest that a reduction should be made in the chairman's salary— (" oh, oh")---and he complained of the increase which during the last half-year had been made to the capital account, upwards of 100,0001. The CHAIRMAN h a d s t ate d b e f ore that, if t h e y desired to go on increasing the traffic, they must add to their capital account ; but he had promised that a detailed statement should be given mi ght take place, and that wasdoof any increase that showed the addition to be not done in upwardsthe oafccloouon,otso,ol7,hbiculti 68,891/.

M r . MCLAREN entered h is protest aga i nst that g usual """S way, of the accounts which referred t o t h e Norfolk He was g l a d, h owever , t o fi nd that the loss ay• on that account was not so great as it had been in pre vious half hours. . . Mr. Box complained that there was no statement in the accounts of the Norfolk share stock on which they had to pay dividend. He repudiated the Norfolk agree ment altogether, which he said they were not bound by, either legally or morally, inasmuch as it had been al tered since it received the consent of the shareholders. He had been informed that to pay ss. a share on the Norfolk share stock took 12,4311., while they had only 2331. to pay it with. He understood that the Norfolk agreement would close in 1855, and he hoped before that time terms would be made more fair to the Eastern Counties proprietors. The CHAIRMAN said the number of Norfolk shares on which they paid dividend was 49,842 201. shares. He con sidered it of the greatest importance that thew should be on terms of amity with their neighbours, especially with the Norfolk Company. At the proper time he was sure that company (who were carrying out that agreement fairly) would be prepared to arrange terms for mutual working, which should be fair to all parties. At present it was impos sible to say what arrangements might l e proposed. It was possible that they might include terms of union not only with the Norfolk, but with the Eastern Union, thus bringing the whole three lines under one system. He could only say that the directors were anxious to be upon amicable terms with both companies, and would be prepared to deal with them liberally. The loss stated by the hon. proprietor far exceeded the annual amount. Mr. MCLAREN wished to know what were the ar rangements with the Southend and Tilbury Company. The CHAIRMAN —They are that we should work the line at a given rate per mile, which has been fixed under the advice of Mr. Gooch, our locomotive super intendent. The agreement is for ten years, but it is sub ject to revision. The resolution adopting the report was then put and carried unanimously, also A resolution altering the bye-laws for the purpose of of requiring 14 days notice of the name of any proprie tor who might be put forward as a candidate for a seat in the direction. .After a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting separated. BRISTOL AND EXETER. The half-yearly meeting of shareholders in this under taking was held yesterday at the White Lion Hotel, Bristol, J. W. Butler, Esq., chairman of the company, presiding. - The Secretary, J. B. Badham, Esq., read the report of the directors, as published in the The Sun. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the meeting on the increase that had taken place in the gross receipts of the company. That in crease was not confined simply to the present half-year but it had been in operation through all preceding half years, and he saw no reason why it should not continue to operate. The increase which had taken place in the working expenses rose from circumstances extraordinary and exceptional, and which were not likely to continue. For this they must have been to some extent prepared, because he stated at the last meeting that though con siderable work had been done upon the permanent way, it was not in a satisfactory state, and that it would be necessary in the ensuing half-year to do a good deal in drainage and ballasting. The directors felt that it was their first duty to ensure the safe and efficient working of the line, and that whatever might be the effect on the dividends, no work should be postponed which was essential to the security of the passengers or the safety of the line. In all that had been done every care had been taken to make the repairs most substantial ; the timbers had been prepared in the most scientific way. If, at the commencement of railway undertakings, those mat ters were little undestood, and many experiments were tried, which proved failures, yet now they were better experienced, and the directors hoped that the timbers now laid would be longer lived than those that had been taken up, and that they would last, not 12 years, but doable 12 years, if not for a much longer period. He hoped from the attention that had been paid to that most important object, drainage, that the timbers would be likewise preserved through the healthier state of the subsoil, and that an increase of improved balance would tend to the same result. There was in the capital account a heavy charge on account of the Yeovil branch. It had been long a source of regret to the directors that that large charge—over a hundred thousand pounds— should have been bearing interest which was chargeable against revenue, whilst it remained unproductive. He hoped that this would not long continue, although he was not prepared to say precisely when the Yeovil branch would be open for traffic, yet he hoped that it would be at no distant period. The directors were en couraged by the contractors to believe that it might take place perhaps within a month ; and he felt sure that when it was opened it would lead to a considerable increase of their traffic. He concluded by again ex pressing his confidence in the ultimate prosperity of the line. Mr. BARTRUM, in seconding the motion, bore testi mony to the assiduity and care with which the directors had conducted the business of the company, which in point of genuine prosperity he regarded as standing second to none in the kingdom. The report was adopted, the dividend of 41 per cent., as recommended in the report, declared ; and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. ST. ANDREWS AND QUEBEC. Yesterday the general half-yearly meeting of the share holders of this company was held at the office, 26, Par liament-street, Westminster. The Chair was occupied by Francis Edwards, Esq., of Bulstracie Park, in the absence of the Earl Fitzwil liam. _ _ The SECRETARY (J. W. Byrne, Esq.) read the half yearly report, which commenced by adverting to the in creasing interest which was being awakened by the rail way undertakings of British North America. From the far-west of Canada to the Atlantic, it stated, sources of wealth were being developed which must ultimately find their way into the markets of the world. Hence the importance that this line should be carried forward, with all possible vigour, to its ultimate point of attainment — namely, immediate commercial intercourse with those great trunk lines which are intended to traverse, through their whole extent, the extensive and populous districts of Canada, and the rich valleys of New Brunswick—in asmuch as such a connexion affords the only medium for securing a permanent communication between the British North American provinces and the parent state. The St. Andrews and Quebec line is a fractional, but es sential part of this vast enterprise. It was first in the field, and commands the only outlet of East and West Canada, through the British territory to the Atlantic. It was expected by this time to have reported the open ing for traffic of at least a part of the line. This has not been accomplished ; but the contractors have sent out during the present year 1,000 men from England, And the works are now being prosecuted with greater vigour. It is anticipated that the first 13 miles, to the point where the railway crosses the Fredericton road, will now be shortly opened ; that distance, according to the engineer's report, having been nearly completed, and part of it run over by the locomotives. With regard to the remaining portion, the only thing required is the laying down the necessary timber and rails, It will be completed by the time any rolling stock can be got on the spot. In addition to the 13 miles, 18 miles are in a sufficiently forward state to afford the prospect of com pletion during the present year. The cuttings and em bankments, as will be seen by the section, are in an ad vanced state. From the number of men employed on this portion of the line, the contractors contemplate having their locomotives in a very short time at work in the forest. As soon as the line is opened for passengers traffic up to the point where it intersects the Frederic ton road, preparations will be made at St. Andrews for depositing lumber and affording accommodation for that and other goods traffic, which will be brought upon the line so soon as it is completed to the forest. It is be lieved that the logwood traffic would be very consider able. As the undertakin g developer itself, its paying capabilities become more and more apparent. The con tractors have added their testimony on this point. The construction of the second section of the line, to the Grand Falls, has engaged the attention of the directors, but they are not yet prepared to submit any well ' digested plan. The measure is important, as the line will then join that portion of the railroad to be con structed by the Government of Canada, and at Quebec unite with the great line now being constructed by the Grand Trunk Railway of the Canada Company. When this is accomplished, it will necessarily constitute this undertaking one of the most important of the present age in British America. The local government have ?slued further debentures to the amount of 11,0001., as payment on the shares in the railroad company. A fur ther call of 21. a share will shortly be made. The ac counts up to June 30 stands thus :—Payments on calls in advance, 11,0441. 13s. 10d. ; balance in hand, 2,011/. 15s. 6d. ; total, 13,0.561. 9s. 4d. Receipts—balance in hand on last account, 5,8901. Bs. 7d. ; paid on calls in advance, 7,1211. Os. 9d. ; Mr. Thompson, 45/. ; total, 13,0561. 9s. 4d. The report was put and agreed to, and the meeting separated. ha N is O i ß ea T r H ly E m ß e N eti C ng OlJ o N f T th l i E s S co U m N p l a O n The yesterday at the London Tavern. company vas held occu pied by d The chair was The- oseph Middleton, re . e .SECRETARY read the Esq. t m ug t,,, report, which commenced by at this the di the promise made at the last meeting, that the aetors would state the course they C.l • d would e shareholdersfound to consent to adopt.

The report was adopted after some discussion. A resolution was then moved and seconded, authoris ing the directors to carry out the second course above referred to, but Mr. BACKER moved, and Mr. BARLOW seconded, an amendment, authorising them to take the third course. Both the resolution and the amendment were nega tived, which leaves the affairs of the company in state quo for another six months, The meeting separated after a vote of thanks to the chairman. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN- SHIRE. The report of the directors of this company states, that the expenditure on capital account for the half-year ending June 30, amounts to 93,8721., of which 23,0901. was for the settlement of a long-pending. claim. The receipts for the half-year amounted to 172,1421., and for the i R corresponding p er i o d o f 1852 t o 160,672/., show ing an increase in the receipts of 11,51 in , while the in crease the expenses only amounted to 3,5501. The receipts for goods continue steadily to increase, while the passenger traffic is progressing satisfactorily. The traffic at the new dock at Grimsby exhibits a gradual improvement, but the directors fear it will be some time before a return will be obtained commensurate with the large outlay. The value of the merchandise traffic to and from the Grimsby station was 12,6221., against 6,0371. at the corresponding period of last year. The directors have been able to reduce the interest upon some of the bonds from 5 per cent. to rates rang ing between 34 to 41 per cent., and thus, although a larger amount has been borrowed than in the corresponding week of last year, the total inte rest is less. The whole of the interest upon the debenture debt has been this half-year charged to reve nue. In the corresponding period of last year 6,1831. was charged to capital in respect of unproductive works. The directors recommend that one half-year's dividend be paid upon the 6/. preference shares, which will leave a balance of 3,5301. The expenditure during the half year in working the traffic on the railway was 104,572/. ; and on the canals, 19,818/. ; total, 124,390/. —leaving 84,7451. as the net profit. To this sum is added 4,0921., the balance from the last account, making 89,8271. Out ,of this sum 56,7521. is deducted for interest on loans, 13,734/. canal annuities, 15,525/. dividend on 6 per cent. preference shares, and 2851. interest on calls in advance, leaving a balance of 3,530/. towards dividend on capital amounting to 4,816,8101., no part of which balance was earned in the course of the half-year. THE PROTESTANT BURIAL-GROUND AT MADRID.-POPISH BIGOTRY. The following further paper respecting the Protestant burial-ground at Madrid, in continuance of the corres pondence presented to Parliament in 1851, has been presented to both houses of Parliament by command of her Majesty : LORD HOWDEN TO TIE EARL OF CLARENDON.—(RECEIVED JUNE 13). Madrid, May 30, 1853. My Lord,—l have the honour to enclose a copy and translation of a note I have received from the Minister for Foreign Affairs, containing permission to establish a burial ground for British Protestant subjects. Although this permission appears the direct consequence of a right secured by treaty, it has for half a century been opposed, evaded, or delayed, and I have had the greatest difficulty in obtaining it. I have been told confidentially that the fear which has always actuated all Spanish Governments, and excited constantly both the open and underhand opposition of the ecclesiastical authorities, is, that by any concession what ever a wedge would be introduced by Protestant Govern ments as a means of demanding further facilities on sub jects connected with any manifestation of a different ritual than that which is alone tolerated by law. I have so often debated this question, both in words and in writing, that I have deemed it quite useless to make any rejoinder to the three first conditions contained in the inclosed. When once a nation, like an individual, sets at nought the opinion of the whole civilised world for the gratification of some darling passion, it is perfectly idle, as I feel it to be in this case, to hope that any representa tions can have avail. I, however, could not refrain from making an observa tion on the fourth point, and I add herewith the copy of my note.—l have, &c., HOWDEN. Inclosure 1.—(Tran514322.) Madrid, May 24, 1853. Mp Lord,—With reference to what I stated to your lordship in my note of the 29th ultimo, I have the honour to inform your lordship that, according to a communica tion which I have received from the Minister of the In terior, the Queen, my Sovereign, agreeing to the opinion of the Consultive Board of Police of this capital, has been pleased to grant permission for the construction, at the place known by the name of La Herradura, at a short dis tance from the hill of San Damaso, in the vicinity of this ihm c n a aa p vty i eh t th a eb l ne , eso o innt f et a alh l 6 met y a .j ry uly f , o l r B P sl rotestant British subjects who town, under the following conditions, which communicated to the British Legation :- 1. The cometary will be erected on the hill of San Da maso, outside thegate of Toledo, and it will be constructed with subjection to the hygienic or sanitary rules required by establishments of this kind. 2. No church, chapel, nor any other sign of a temple, or of public or private worship, will be allowed to be built in the aforesaid cemetary. 3. All acts which can give any indication of the perfor mance of any Divine service whatsoever are prohibited. 4. In the conveyance of the dead bodies to the burial ground, any sort of pomp or publicity shall be avoided. The civil governor of this province has already been made acquainted with the aforesaid royal decision, and on communicating it to your lordship, I cannot abstain from adding, with reference to what is stated to me by the Mi nister of the Interior, that the epithet of " gr a t u it ous ," which has been a p p li e d to the delay which this affair has experienced, is not just ; because, in spite of the wishes and exertions of the public administration, there are some times powerful causes which occasion a necessary delay in the dispatch of business, as has been the case with the affair in question.—l avail, &c., FRANCESCO LERSUNDI. Inclosure 2. LORD HOWDEN TO GENERAL LERSUNDI. Madrid, May 30,1853. Sir, I have the honour to acknowledge your Excellency's note concerning the establishment of a cemetary for Bri tish Protestant subjects who may die in this capital. With regard to the three first conditions specified in the document I shall say nothing, having already said use lessly a great deal, and often, on the subject. My opinion on them is that of Europe, including the great Catholic nations of France, Austria, Portugal, Belgium, Sardinia, and Brazil ; and if that opinion be indifferent to the na tion of her Catholic Majesty, England will at least find herself in good company in the appreciation of the above conditions. I have however, a word to say on the fourth condition, because I think that it is practically a seed of future diffi culty. It is this :—" Se evitara, en la conduccion de los cada veres toda, clase de pompa y publicidad." (In conveying the dead bodies to the burial-ground, every kind of pomp or publicity shall be avoided.) This clause is as vague in its sense as it is in its phraseo logy. What may be called pomp in this country may only be deemed decency by persons brought up with different feelings as to charity, and animated by a respect for the dead which is unaffected by latitudes. What publicity means lam entirely at a loss to discover; I really do not see how it is possible to convey a corpse from the gate of Atocha to the gate of Toledo, without it being known that it is a dead man, which recognition is in itself an act of publicity. Does the Spanish government mean that th e b o dy i s t o be smuggled ? I regret anything like jesting upon such a subject, but the field is open to much ridicule, and I restrain myself. May object in writing this note is to state to your Ex cellency that the above clause opens a source of much possible conflict between the Legation and your Excel lency's department. CRICKET . - I renounce all responsibility as to its being carried out according to the expressed wishes of the Spanish govern ment, or the appreciation of the word " pomp" by some ignorant and fanatical mob. I do not know whether the State of Spain would permit such a homage to civil dignity, but in all other countries of the world it is precisely to the authorities themselves that the representative of a foreign country would apply for protection in conveying a human body to its last resting-place. Perhaps I shall have occa sion to try this question. I hasten to finish this communication, as it is impossible to make it without a feeling of irritation. If in the streets of London, whither lam going, I have the misfortune to meet a Spaniard carried (with "publicity") to the grave, while reverently uncovering myself as the corpse passes, my sorrow will be' tempered by the feeling that he is buried like a Christian, and my pride will be gratified by thinking that this homage has been paid to one of God's creatures by Christiaas who are my countrymen. I cannot conclude without stating my deep regret that the course of Spain is such as to produce a gradaal aliena tion in the opinion of the English public, out of which will must infallibly result a state of feeling which no govern ment can control or oppose. —I avail, &c. ELEVEN PLAYERS v. EIGHTEEN GENTLE MEN OF SURREY CLUB AND COUNTY. This match, which is for the benefit of one of the old Surrey umpires, Mortlock, who,. from severe illness, is compelled to make an appeal to his patrons, was opened at the Oval yesterday. There was a large amount of good play exhibited. At the close of the day the score presented this appearance : HOWDEN. MR. BUCKLEY'S ABSOLUTE SALE OF PURE BRED LEICESTER& The high and increasing estimation in which this first class breed of sheep is held at the present moment is no less traceable to the efforts of the breeders in whose hands the true race of Leicesters has remained, to main tain it in all its integrity, than to the vast importance which sheep begin to acquire in agriculture, both from the excellent profits certain to b e de r ived from ordinary care and prudence in sheep farming, and from the re markably advantageous position in which these animals stand, related as their products are at once to trade and subsistence, and consequently of great value in a populous manufacturing country. In the breed of sheep, its excellence and yield, whether of wool or mutton, the manufacturer is in fact as deeply interested as the farmer. Hence the universal attention which the Leicesters, our highest native English race are at pre sent attracting ; for the present is a social crisis in which the rapid development alike of manufactures and population is instinctively impelling men to look for ward with eagerness to every improvement in the re sources of material and food. The sheep, as we have re marked, stands in the prominent position of contrinuting largely to both these desiderata. The shows and letting of sheep which we have latterly had to record in the Nottinghamshire Guardian's farming columns, have been in one respect different from that of Mr. Buckley, at Normanton Hill, near Loughborough, who is de clining ram breeding altogether, and is consequently bringing forward on the Ist proximo, one of the first and most celebrated breeds in the country for absolute sale. The whole of this fine flock consists of 40 rams and 200 ewes and theaves. It is stated by Mr. Straf ford, of London, who is to be the auctioneer, that the purity of this stock is too well known to require further comment beyond pointing out its descent namely, from the flock of Mr. Buckley's late father and grand father ; the latter being well known as identical with that of Mr. Robert Bake well, of Dishley. We may add that the flock was constituted by Mr. Nicholas Buck ley, of Normanton Hill, the present Mr. Buckley's grandfather, and assisted by the purchase of ewes at sixty-five guineas each at the sale in 1793, of the late Mr. Paget of Ibstock (whose derivation from the Dishley breed is familiar to all who who know any thing of the Leicesters.) Mr. Paget indeed was the constant associate of Bakeweil himself, and consulted and advised with that eminent breeder in every step taken for the improvement of those fine and valuable animals. He was also a member of the Dishley Society ; an institu tion of few but select members, associated for the pur pose of promoting and preserving the improved breed of Leicesters, regardless of expense. For a number of years, in imitation of the spirit and purpose of this cele brated association, as much as from 1,200 to 1,000 guineas was subscribed and expended for the use of three or four sheep annually, by Mr. Nicholas Buckley, conjointly with those other two celebrated breeders, Mr. Stubbins and Mr. Breedon. They adopted this method of maintaining the superiority of their flocks, as one which at an expense that could hardly have been at tempted single-handed enabled them to match the pecu liarities of a greater variety of their ewes, and to meet the improvements where they were wanted. The results of these careful and expensive practical improvements by the most eminent men connected wit's the breeding of Leicesters may now be said to be sub mitted to public competition in the sale of the Normanton Hill branch of the Dishley flock. Mr. Nicholas Buckley, it is well known, realised the largest sums ever obtained for the use of a single Leicester ram; but it may not be ge nerally known that of the very sheep which he let for 1000 guineas, he reserved for the benefit of his own flock one fourth part of the use; so that the services of the best ani mals which the flock turned out were never lost to it. the sheep have not been crossed to this day by any other tups; for after what has lately been stated in the Guardian re specting the animals bred by Mr. Burgess of Colgrave, and Mr. Sanday, of llolme Pierrepont, and what is known of these gentlemen in the profession, the fact that during the last few years rams have been used which were bred by them, will rather be accepted as an additional proof of the purity, integrity, and advancement of the Nor manton Hill sheep. We have nothing more to add than that any breeder or flock-master desirous of effecti n g permanent improve ments in his flock, will have on Thursday next one of the best opportunities of doing so at Normanton Hill. The purposes for which these Leicesters are now so greatly sought after and so largely employed, were never more urgent than at thiA moment when the as ring,w h o n e cae c r eo more lookingmo r u e a i tbyo, to owt thehte o t h take ar r ku l a ey g t r hE i c en ul gl t el u ias r dh a tra in cpo m lne a t n roi u bf fuatci wooltnu g to the wealth and prosperity of the country.—Notts I Guardian. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURN. SCOTTISH CENTRAL RAILWAY.—Traffio return for the week ending Aug. 21, 1853 £3,707 15 2i Corresponding week last year 3,674 9 9i POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO W-STREET. —EMBEZZLEMENT. - William Stree ton Sturges, aged 28, confidential clerk and cashier to Mr. C. J. Stewart, theological bookseller, of King Wil liam-street, Strand, was charged with embezzling monies to the amount of 6001. received on account of his em ployer. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been in his service upwards of seven years, and about three weeks ago made a confession that he had appropriated monies to a large extent during the last three or four years. He told witness that he had been robbing him by intercepting and appropriating the accounts, and consented to go through the ledger, and make out a list of the various sums which he had embezzled. This was done in the presence of witness, and the prisoner signed the list. Remanded for a week. SOUTHWARK.—ATTEMPT TO STRANGLE A WIFE. —Just as Mr. Combe was about to quit the bench, Mr. Charles Stephen Moore, the keeper of the City of London beer-shop, in the Borough-road, was brought before him by Guest, 62 L, one of the warrant officers, charged with attempting to strangle his wife, Mary Moore. The complainant, a well-dressed and rather good-look ing, middle-aged female, stated that she had been married to her husband 20 years, but latterly he had become an habitual drunkard, and was frequently in the habit of ill-using her. On the previous night, while she was in bed, he came into the room and seized her by the throat, with the apparent intention of strangling her, but fortu nately her two sons and a lodger rushed to her assist ance and prevented him. He had by his dissolute habits nearly ruined them, and she was positive that unless he was restrained by the law he would murder her. The prisoner, whose features were very much de formed, said that it was all false what his wife had stated. He never raised a hand to her in his life. He had been twenty years married, had four sons, and had always been kind to all. Mr. Hill, who attended for the wife, said the prisoner had more than once attempted to commit suicide. One time he shot himself and the ball carried away a por tion of his face and jaw, which was the cause of the de formity, and the other time he hung himself, but was cut down just in time to save his life. He had also been confined for two years in a lunatic asylum. Mr. Combe—Do you mean to say he is insane now ? Mr. Hill said he was perfectly sane when he ill used his wife, and that was so frequent that she was compelled to come for protection. _ _ The prisoner declared that this was a trick to get him out of the way, concocted by his wife and a very bad man. lie never ill-used his wife at all. Mr. Combe said she had sworn to it, and he was bound to protect her. He should therefore call upon him to find two sureties to keep the peace in 201. each, and in default he must be committed to prison. The sureties not being forthcoming, he was removed in the van to Horsemonger-lane Gaol. CASE OF MR. AND MRS. HABESWELL—Yesterday, Mrs. Fances Eellen Torckler, a middle-aged woman, of respectable appearance, who was described as the widow of an officer in the army, but who refused to give her address, and who had been recognised by Horsford, the Mendicity officer, as a practised begging-letter writer, and Jane, her daughter, were brought up before the Hon. G. C. Norton, at Lambeth Police-court, on a charge of unlawfully obtaining possession of and detain ing two children belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Hakeswell. Mr. Carrow, a solicitor, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Pierce, the barrister, for the accused party. From the evidence taken on the present and former examinations, it appeared that Mrs. Hakeswell, whose extraordinary domestic differences with her husband have brought her through almost every court in Lon don, from the Court of Chancery down to the police courts, is at present an inmate of the Queen's Bench Prison, for contempt in not producing two of her children, the one eight and the other four years of age, before one of the Masters in Chancery, preparatory to an order being made for their proper custody and main tenance. Some time ago the children in question had been placed in the care of a Mrs. Otley, by the consent, it was said, of Mrs. Hakeswell and Mrs. Rowe, the wife of the chaplain of Horsemonger-lane Gaol, who is sister to Mr. Hakeswell, and also with the approbation of Mr. Hakeswell himself ; and with this lady they remained until Monday, the 15th inst., when, from what she heard, she removed them to the house of a Mrs. Shep heard, in Brook-street, Lambeth. After so removing them, Mrs. Otley, proceeded to the Queen's Bench Prison, and on informing Mrs. Hakeswell of what she had done, the latter flew into a desperate passion, abused her, and locked her up in her room, while she sent a policeman belonging to the M division of police and the elder pri soner to take away the children. Finding that his wife had thus got possession of the children, Mr. Hakeswell challenged Mrs. Torckler with unlawful' detaining them, upon which she at first promised to di sc l ose w h ere th ey were and deliver them up, provided no proceedings were taken against her, but she ultimately refused to say where. In consequence she was given into custody and remanded until yesterday, when her daughter was also given into custody. When the case was about to be called on, yesterday, Mr. Carrow begged his worship would postpone its hearing for an hour, stating that from information that had reached him, he had some reason to hope that the children would be found. The case was put off, and when called on, Mr. Carrow informed Mr. Norton, that the missing children had just been discovered at a wretched apartment near the Waterloo-road, where they had been placed by the younger prisoner, in the most distressed and forlorn condition. Yet it was the intention of his client to press the charge against the prisoners. The learned gentleman then called Mrs. Otley, who deposed to the particulars as before stated as related to the elder prisoner. Mr. Carrow said he was also prepared with evidence to prove that the younger prisoner had, not withstanding her mother was at the time under remand for the offence of illegally detaining the children, re moved them from place to place, and ultimately to the wretched plane they were found in. Mr. Pierce argued, that as no order had been made for the legal possessior of the children, and as Mrs. Hakeswell was in the Queen's Prison merely for contempt in not producing the two children before the Master in Chancery, and not for keeping them away from their father, and finally, as no malice—which was d n ie e nt pr u e n a d ee e u r ti t e h n e e a e c u t ld of h P e Parliament— had I m al anadiencbteeasinnaerdyp.r—loingredient re d e e '. Carrow said that, by the common law vested intention n th e e f fatherofthe l. and and, t w he ith po r s e s e e p s e si c o t n t o e f c th h e ildmreanliousy stei was the pri'soners, he considered that abundant l y s hown b y the evidence. Besides, his client had no security that the moment Mrs. Hakeswell got discharged from prison she would not again possess herself of the children, —Mr. Norton had very considerable doubts whether anything could be made of the case, particularly, as had been well put in by the learned gentleman Mr. Pierce, there was no proof of malice, or, at least, not sufficient shown ; and under all the circumstances he did not think that any conviction would follow a commitment. Mr. Hakesw e ll had obtained the most desirable object, and that was the possession of the poor children ; and when Mrs. Hakeswell went before the court to obtain her discharge her husband would have an opportunity of appearing and having a proper order made, and one which, i n a ll pro b a bi l i ty, would prevent h er f rom inter fering with them. The prisoners were then discharged. GENTLEMEN. First Innings F. Miller, Esq., c Lisney, b Taylor 39 J. Waller, Esq., b Lisney 7 G. Hartnell, Esq., b Caesar 26 H. Nicholson, Esq., b Cmsar 7 H.

ITRDER IN BELFAST BARRACICEL—A tressing occurr( ;rice has recently taken place in the bar racks at Belfas t. Corporal Robert Brown, of the Gre nadier detachm el it of the 12th Regiment, at present lying in Belfast was brutally murdered the other even ing by Robert = El :enry O'Neill, a private belonging to the Light Company• of the same detachment. The facts of this melancholy• outrage, which has caused the most in tense excitemen t in town are as follows :—lt appears that, shortly be f ore nine o'clock, Corporal Brown, the unfortunate vic t,im ; Robert O'Neill, the alleged mur derer ; and fotur others, were in one of the barrack rooms, prepari a g to go to bed. They had been con versing togethe r apparently on the most friendly terms, and were about , to retire to rest, when O'Neill, at a mo ment when th ) deceased was leaning over a table, writing, lifted l r is carbine, which he was apparently en gaged in cleani a ,g, took deliberate aim, and before any effort could be made to prevent it, lodged the ball with which his musk:• et was charged in the left breast of his unsuspecting v 1 ctim. The ball struck the deceased be low his right e re, carried away a portion of his nose, and entered his left breast, causing almost instant death, as the unfortu o ate sufferer lingered only till half-past ten o'clock, wt 1., an he expired. O'Neill, who immediately ran down the s.l Lairs into the square, with the view of effecting his es ( 'ape, was pursued by one of the men pre sent in the ro cam and arrested before he could accom plish his purp( n;e. The only cause that can be assigned for the perpeti ration of this diabolical outrage is, that the deceased had, 4a, day or so before, reported O'Neill as guilty of some misconduct, and who had him confined to barracks for three days. O'Neill, it is asserted, had more than one *, been heard to say that he would be re venged. The ( beceased was an Englishman, aged twenty, and, we believ 13, much respected by the officers and his comrades for his orderly and inoffensive conduct. O'Neill, is a )3 ;elfast man, who was some time in a but cher's shop in I I. 3reules-street, and lately enlisted into the regiment. On Tuesday an inquest was held on the body of the murdere c 1 man, and after the examination of seve ral witnesses, t to coroner, addressing the prisoner, asked him if he had iznything to say ? Prisoner—No ; only I am guilty. (5_ k ,nsation.) The coroner then addressed the jury briefly upon the distinction between murder and manslaughter ; and observed, that from the threats used by the prisone: r during the day premeditation was to be inferred, and 1,1 ,e crime could not be reduced to man slaughter. Th tE , jury found a verdict of wilful murder against O'Neil 1.. The coroner then committed him for trial at the neN :1 , assizes for the county of Antrim.

C2OIO 3 0 0 OCEAN STEAM NAVIGATION.--LIVERPOOL, AUG. 24.--- The Mersey presented an unusually animated appear ance to-day, owing to the departure of four seagoing steamers, all heavily laden with valuable cargoes. Messrs. M'lver and Co.'s screw steam -ship Taurus, Little, commander, full of goods, bound for New York, vid Boston, took her departure at 10 a.m. ; and at noon the United States' mail steam-ship Atlantic, West, com mander, left for New York, having on board 216 pas sengers and the usual mails, besides a very full cargo. At 11 a.m. the iron screw steamship City of Manchester, Leitch, commander, sailed hence for Philadelphia, with a full cargo and a large complement of passengers on board. At 130 p.m. the South American and General Steam Navigation Comp an y 's new iron screw steam-ship Braziliera, Green, commander, took her departure from the Birkenhead -docks on her way to Lisbon, Pernam buco, Bahia, Rio Janeiro, and Monte Video. She had on board about 200 tons of cargo, consisting principally of a large quantity of fine Manchester and French goods, besides a considerable number of passengers, chiefly from London and Manchester, and about 30,000/. specie. It will be remembered that this new line was opened by the Argentina, one of the branch steamers, which, on arriving at the Brazils, will immediately go upon her station coastwise. The Braziliera is the first of the main line of steamers from Birkenhead-docks to the Brazils. She will be followed on the 24th of Sep tember by the iron screw-ship Olinda, Captain G. H. Ha ram, and she will be succeeded, on the 24th of October ' by the iron screw steamer Lusitania, launched from the building yard of Mr. John Laird, of Birkenhead, a few days ago. PRICES OF SHARES.
