RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE., LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE. The directors of this company state in their re port that the total amount of share awl mort gage capital chargeable on revenue for the half-year ending the 30th of,..Tune last, excluding leased lilies, is as follows :-- Ordinary cspial, 9,206,360/. ; guaranteed 6. per cent., 791,000/. ; loans, 3,333,3261.; moneys in advance of calls, 54,018/. ; tAal, 13,387,744/. The expenditure on c ipital ac count during the half-year has been 152,909/., of which 51,405/. was fir working stock, awl 11,4331. expended on main line. The receipts of the com pany on revenue account during the half-year 'have' been 610,714/., less 10,176/. received for working Blackburn line, 600,537/. The receipts on the Lan cashire and Yorkshire proper amounted tá 573,369/, against 532,601/. in the same half of 1856, and the ,working and other expenses amounted to 229,1571. againse2oB,7ls/. The number of passengers con veyed was 3,749,733 against 3,153,571, showing an increase of 569,161, or 18 . 90 per cent. The increase in the miles travelled was 13.39 per cent. The tons of merchandise conveyed were 1,633,354 against 1,545,318, or an increase of 87,936 tons, or 5.69 per cent., and in miles travelled 2.79 per cent. The earn ings per passenger were 13 - 80 d. against 14-46 d. ; and per ton of goods 51.70 d. against 52-54 d. Each passenger was carried on the average 1077 miles against 11.30 miles at The same period of 1856, and each ton pf goods 23 . 85 mites against 24-52 mil s. The result of the working of the railway, for the past half-year the directors consider to be favour able, the receipts for passenger traffic showing an increase of 25,5521. over the corresponding - period of last year, the recepts for merchandise traffic showing an increase of 13,5481. ; which latter is satisfacmy, owing to the depressed state of trade. The working expenses of the company, compare favourably with the corresponding date of last year, 41.58 per cant. he company has +ncy. The diroc .ts to reduce ex as n , :t to inter lug of the lines. ranai,u~pti.,t3 of fuel is considerably reduced, and a number of ex periments are now being made which, it is hoped, will be productive of further benefit to tit() cOrn paiy. The renewal of the permanent way has been vigorously prosecuted during the h4f-year, and, the new rails being laid with what are termed "fish joint," the directors bel'eve that the company is in course of having a line of road which wid com pare advantageously with any in the kingdom. The balance of revenue applicable to the payment of interest aad dividends and other fixed charges is 371,248/. It is recommended that a dividend at the rate of 5 pratc?nt. perannum, deducting income-tax, be declared, having a surplus of 8591. for next ac count. The agreement with the East Lancashire Railway Company, which was resolved upon at the last half-yearly meeting, f)r the interchange of traffic pending the ama'gama.ion of the two com panies has proved in its working a great conveni ence to the public, by its having induced a system of a thorough -booking for passengers and a running through of carriages and waggons which could not otherwise have been secured ; it has also caused a swing in working expenses, but the full extent of the saving which is at.tici paled can not be rt,alised until the amalgation is completed. The capita account showed that 13,437,020/. h td been received and 13,521,1731. expended, leaving a balance against the company of 84,152/. being a • 40.85 per cent. aga;nTt at th'::ate."

IMPORTANT CAUTION ag a i ns t t i n fearful dangers of spurious imitations :—The Vice-Chancel. for Sir William Page Wood granted an Injunction on the 10th March, 1854, against Alfred Hooper Nevin, for imitating Du Barr Y's Rtyalenta Arabica Food.". Yesterday morning the whole of the men of the 7th iju,sars and draughts from various regiments, to the number in all of 654, with 30 officers, em barked from Tilbury on board the celebrated clip per Lightning. The men seemed, one 'and all, in splendid condition and high spirits, and were bid adieu to with the usual accompadmen ts of cheers and tears, all more or less hearty. Every prepara tion had been made for their reception on board, but, In spite of all, the proverbial hurry, worry, and confusion of a troopship were presen•ed in their most prominent for:D. The men were c ,, lleAA. on deck for al ng time, while he taus' er-rdl was called over, after! which telious but highly necessary prelimi narrthey hegan to settle down, though an inexpe ri, need person would be slow to perceive that their t=xttrti , )ns had any such tranquillizingresult in view. What with armonrera' boxes, carbine racks, , men's tins, kits, and general equipments, ship's stores, and Crowds of men; the Bab 1 seemed hopeless to the last degree. . Only the hearty good. humour and " with-a-wiir disposition which nervadsd all on board, both troops and crew, could ever contend with such a-military chaos as yesterday existed on board the. Lightning. Nor was it a whit better in the gotgoous saloons allotted to the officers. There it scorned an int-rrninable succession of lunches and hPavy ptickagts; with a supplement aty melange of telegraph boys with last m ss3gea army tailors fighting for-realisable propositions, visitors, garri son officials, officers, and their relat:ves and friends. l'he amount of equiptmnt in the ur - ay of furniture wlych officers brought on boar and which, as a matter of course, they fieund tot illy tiselesg, and only lumber in their cabin,'vcas something astounding. Is there no retired Indian t fficerof experience who will publish a little book pointing out what officers really do require when going to India ? He would be a benefactor to the army. As it was uncertain what time the vessel would really Start, of course the applications from ardent subs for 24 hours' leave: were rather num-.Tous, but they were finally put an end to by itistruc ions that the L;ghtoing should get undi,r way by 7 o'clock last evening. This she amording'y di.l, and was towed down the river by the Resolut., one of the two tugs recently. built at Liverpool, and the largest and the mo-t pow.-iful ever constructed. To the last hour of the Lightning's st,y routine was triumphant, and the number of documents the officers had to sign and the numbers of signatures necessary to each document were something marvellous. Some there were by no means loth to express the opinion of the annoyance, as fresh applications for their autographs in 10 or 12 fresh plsc-s came in. each momen'. No one for a minute supposes that the troops will not get ammunition on their arrival in India, yet a large quantity is sent in eachtroopship, though the practice is gravely objected to by our most experi enced naval and mili ary officers. But it has been the custom and is so persevered in, and it has not be-n :the custom yet to give the, men their light clothing till their arrival in India, and that is per severed in too, though each day shows the necessity for reversing the rules. The troopships now take a quantity of powder which they don't want, and • which, of course, risks their arriving in India at all, and they leave behind the light clothing, which they are far from certain of getting in India, though they are quite certain that without it the men will be utterly helpless when thy do arrive. This is ce:tain'y a fair specimen of "routine." Fur the rest the troops are most comfortable on board, and if we may judge from the foilowiug dietary, ought. to arrive at their destination in good condition:— SCALE OF VICTUALLING FOR TROOPS TO INDIA FOR A MESS OF SIX MEN.

SCOTLAND. —Harvest - operations, -where ripeness is fully attained, hive made rapid progress during he past wedc, the weather b lug exceedrnOy Avourable. Over the coast side . di-tric's of B sir ff shire, and the lower parts of Morayshire, there is scarcely a farm upon which some has not been cut ; generally all the harvest hands have been called in, not a few farmers c ‘mmencing with full strength on Monday ; while in many cases considerable ad vancement has been made in cutting, some in Mo rayshire having an immense nurnbq of stocks with a gaid deal stacked. The crops are not nearly so heavy in the lower districts of Banff hire as Last year, hut in Morayshire they are expected to hulk above the average of seas ms. The potato disease has again made its appearance within the past week in various parts of the counties of Banff, Moray, and Aberdeen and has, since it became olliervable, made rapid progress.—Scotsman. ORKSHIRE. —The weather in this neighbour hood (Selby) continues extremely fine. Harvest operations progress very rapidly, and the gra:n generally is in capital condition. But while the cereal crops are all that could be dosired, we.regret to say that the potatoes, which a short ,time ago promised do well, have suffered most seriously from the late heavy rains, as well as from the epidemic. There are scores of acres in this ne'gh hourhood that have been under water, many of which will scarcely pay for gathering.—Leeds Mercury. WORCESTERSHIRE.—Since our List the weatlr-r has been of a most propitious character f r harvest operations, and in a short time the whole. of the gr3in crops will have been ga,.h.3rel. The new wheat, which has come to market, has bees gene rally good condition, though some of the farmers last Saturday produced some of the spurted white wheat, and one or two of spartyl rel. Some of the new wheat was as hard and as dry as7old whe . and was mistaken by the dealers as such. The heat during the last few days has be?n excessive. The thermometer fell on Saturday and Sunday, and also on Monday till the evening, but a change then took place, an' it has since b steadily On Saturday and Monday nights dis tant ightning was observed in the west abut tan o'clock, but no rain has fallen in this district, though we have hal heavy dews. The potatoes are said t:rhave suffered greatly from disease since the last storms, and particularly in the neighbour hood of Evesham, Hartlebury, and Kidderminster. Sussux.—The harvest in this district has been gathered in, on the whole, in excellent, condition. Tiie barley only has been injured by the recent storms, but that not to an exteit to be serious. The straw is discoloured, but the grail is not "growy," as might be supposed. The whe It crop is one of the heaviest known for y. ara past. This has been harvested on the whole, in excellent condition.. Plenty seems everywhere to exhibit it 'self, suffi3ient to make up the deficiency of last year. Thrashing machines are now busy in every direction, and the new wheat is being brought into market as quickly as possible by the agriculturists of the neighbourhood.

HOP INTELLIGENCE. - _ CANTERBURY. -W ith the splendid we%ther of the la , t week or ten days a very extraordinary change hai taken place in the hop plantation in this vi cinity ; in fact, blighted grounds, which were g iv , n up as lost, bid fair to produce two or three cwt. per acre. Those grounds which lo I somewhat pro mising are now doubly so, and s-nni of the best gardens look to produce a ton p,?.r acre, a 3 in these the boos are grown out to an unusual dze, and seem full of condition. Picking will partially com mence next week. BRENCEILEy.—AIthough a considerable portion of our hops are worthless, there is certainly an ex traordinary improvement in those which were not quite given up. After all we shall get a sprinkle where we did not expect any, and think 4 cwt. per acre through the parish is not much overrated. CRANBROOS. —Our grounds are now in full hop, and present a luxuriant appearance ; there is also an improvement in those gardeus which were but slightly stricken with the blight. . EAST IPECICRAM.—Oar hops continue to improve. Many gr , unds will bear an average crop ; the hops are growing out large, are of good colour, and it is anticipated the quality will be excellent. Rekin4 will he general about the Ist of next month. Mr. Henham commenced picking his forward hops on Thu . sday last. GOUDHURST.—Within the last fortnight the platit daens have improved considerably, and even where the 'attack of the blight wis severe, and it was thought that the little - burr could not come to maturity, the hops, tholgh small, will ba worth picking. We have noticed hops nearly four inches long at the top of the poles and bu-r upon t'le same. HORSMoNDEN.—Our hops have within the last fortnight undergone a wonderful improve:nen*, resulting from the fine showers and high tempera titre. Without doubt we shall average film 6cwt. to 7 cwt. per acre. MAIDSTONE.--The- hops in this - dsitrict have grown much since the rain ; but many grounds are gr,atly infested by flea, which will cause picking to begin in numerous cases befor the hops ate fully ripe. It seems to ba the choi.ie sorts which suffer most from this pest, the coars-r kinds being com paratively free. The flea appe irs to eit out tl.e substance of the hop, which is thus In ale to look as if affeted with red-dust, and do's not attain its natural growth. The crop, therefore where this insect prevails, is seriously ,det-Tiorateri. The duty, it is thought, will amount to between 159,0001. and 160,00 X , but the hops, generally, in years of bliiht, make a show of larger cross than they really yie'd. The hop-picking will be earlier than usual. In most places it will b 3 general at the l,e ginning of next week, and in 80:110 grounds a com meuceatent has already been made. MALLING.—In this neighbourhood one or two grounds ate so infested with flea that the hops are fast wasting ; but, generally spe king, we are bid ding fair for a crop, and look f r a higi.er duty. MARDEN.—Our hops have improved vet) , much during the last week, and some of he blighted gar dens will have more than was expected. MEREWORTH.—The bops how present a most beautiful appearance, and picking will be general about the beginning of September. The sawp:e and quality have been spoken of in previoui years as excellent, but the crop is sad to be fir superior this year. PLAXTOL.—There is some more improvement in our hops since last week,• but they are still very had, and the gathering must be very shoot. Pick ing will be early. itOCHESTER.—The plantations arc.und this city have certainly improved in appearance since the late Morals, but there is no doubt whatever that the crop will be miserably drfioient. In many of the grounds the hops have hem entirely destroyed, while others present a vtry fair improvement. It is expected that picking will cem Lone° in some gardens next week. SEVENOAKS.—Our hops are still progressing, and it is expected that picking will take place in a few days. WATERINGRIFitY, NETTLESTEAD, MEREWORTH, AND TESTON.—The hops grow fast and freely, and are of a larger size in many grounds than is usual We are all looking for a good crop. The flea has made its appearance in some ground,, and in some cases it is very destructive to the hop itself. We have heard some persons have been cing them. The late J. Ellis, Esq., used to do th s t yars ago. WROTHAM. —The hops continue to proms fa vourably, and look splendid. Picking will begin in the course of ten or twelve days. YALDINQ AND ilwrox.—Our hops are g t 4. ng on splendidly. By some competent judges it is thought that several gardens will grow as manv, if not more, than last year. In some grounds below we hear that the mould . is making its appearance. SUSSEX.—The accounts generally concur in re porting a continued improvement ; many grounds which appearei " gone" will now grow a sprinkle. WORCESTER. —The Worcester 'Jerald states that the phntations continue to progress very .favour ably, and many of the planters intend to commence picking in abthit aweek. Dutiestiniatel at 28,0001. FARNHAM, ALTON, AND COUNTRY DISTRICTS, Aug. 24.—Our plantation's are progressing favour ably; Picking has partially commenced,. but will not be very gmeral until the 31st lust. —Kentish Observer. BULL LIGHT IN BAYONNE BIARRITZ, MONDAY, Aug. 24. The Etnpre3s proceeded on Sunday to Bivonne at 3 o'clock to attend a bull-fight in the Faubourg of St. Esprit, an the samo spot whore these spmt; have been held for the last few yaars. • The King of Wurtemburg, who was curious to wi ness, for the iir>t time,. this humanising amuse ment so dear to Spaniards, took his seat in the bull- ring at a quarter to 4, attended by his suite ; and her M tjeAy the Empress, accompanied by her sister ati:l the lades who are in ordinary waiting upon her, was punctualto the moment, and made her appearance in her lox precisely at 4. The bullfiglitersonlyawaited the presence of her Maksty to begin operations, The lillayor of St. E-prit, after the usied preliminaries, gave the signal to the troop (cuadrilla). Tne stall where the animals are kept wa ting was t . trown open and the first, bell boulder! into the arena. He gave sport the usual time, and, after undergoing the usual pro cess of torture, secundum artem, to the apparent satisfaction of tile amateurs high and low , he en countered the sword of the redoubtable Sdiaman quino, who gave him the quietus float which there is no escape. The second animal afforded for the satnersea .e of time a similar pleasure to the - upper and lower hundreds, and met the same inevitable fate as his predecessor. The applause from the boxes, which testified to the ability of the bullfighters, and of the matador in particular, were scarcely hushed, when the sky became overcast. The very moment when the third bull was about to issue ft orn his stall a flash of lightning shot from a pile of black cloud which hung in the' sultry atmosphere, the distant roar of thunder was heard, the heavy drops, an nouncing the presence of the storm, fell iu the hreua, and in a few minutes the rain rushed down with violence. The sport was at once interrupted; but if that was the only casualty of the day there would ucy, 133 much to lament. To escape the " pelting of the pitiless storm,"—for thunder, lightning, and rain threatening to come in full career—numbers of the sp ctatora rushed to the gil'ery or platform where tha musicians were sta'ioned, awl which, except the reserved boxes, was the only spot covered by an awning. The gallery consisted merely of boards laid horizontally, with their extreme ends resting for their only stay on wooden posts, but with no support in the centre. It might have borne all day w,thout accident the 40 or 50 musicians who were st etioned there to cheer the spirits of the spectators, but it creild not resist the weight of the hundreds who rushed at once .of it for shelter. It was the weakest part of the whole stracture ; and it was, moreover, finale ' diate'y over the spot where the mules and the muleteers-usually employed in removing from the arena the hoises that hive been torn and disem bowelled by the bulls, as well as the slaughtered bulls themselves, are kept in atten lance. Amid the storm and confusion, the fragile structure suddenly give way, and the crowd that clung to it were pre cipitated to the ground. A cry arose from the mul-, thud-. It was feared that several persons were killed. The fear was exaggerated ; it is said that one-man ()Ay was crulhed, if not to instant death, in such A manner as to leave but little hopa of sur viving ; and eight or teu, according to on account, five or six 'according to another, have either hid limbs fractured or are severely bruised. One of the animals underneath was killed, but he pro bably saved one or two human beings from the same fate. The confusion was at its height. The rain still rushed down, but, it did not seem to , ardour of the spe3tators for the bull' fight. The manager, naturally enough thought that the weather, not to speak of the, disaster which just occurred and the sight of the victims, woull dispense him from presenting the rest of the bulls. He was never more mistaken. The con tinuance of the • sport" was called for as if nothing had happenel, and enraged by the delay of the ma nager, the most enthusiastic of the spectators shouted at the highest pitch of their voices, gesticu lated ang,-ily and swore, audstill nu bull making his appearauv, they fell ti tearing up benches, bi e jug down narrier.a, and breaking everything they could lay hinds on into ple.ies. The disaster, and the confusion which followed, was not a spectacle of the most agreeable knd t i man or woman. The Empress, doubtless, thought the same. Accompanied by her ladies, site quitted her box and re' urne I to Biarritz, not however, without having made inquiries as to the state of the wounded, and having received assurances that they should be taken care of. All chance of centinuing the "amusement," now that her Majesty honoured the ring so longer with her presence, was, of course, over, but the rioters still continues their uproar. The troops i'aerfered, aud, after some delay and difficulty, the place was cleared, and, by the joint exertions of the civil authoriti-s and the soldiers, tranquillity was rest red. The second bull fight, which was to have taken place this day, has been postponed until the Woken posts, b_nches, and gall , ries have been restored. Whether the Empress intends to appear again on some future Sunday at these bull lights is not tat ed. TUE EAST INDIA COMPANY AND THE PRESS. To do the Government justice, nothing has I.een wanting on their part towards a vigorous defence of our east- rn empire. The supply. of troops has been prompt and efficient. Not an hour has b3en lust in despatching teinforcetnents to the scene of action ; and the names, of Campbell, Windham, Rose, and Mansfield are guarantees of the deter mination to s:lect the best men for ths must re sponsible posts. That the East India Company have also a zeal befitting their responsibility, we believe, notwithstanding the statements to the contrary of an organ of the Government, which we quoted in a recent number. Tne company, ho ,v -ever, are placed in an anomalous positron, and un fortunately, they do not seem to think it necessary to relieve them elves from the odium it is daily br.nging tiFon them. The 'last vestige of the old official superstition -which never condescended to r. nder explanaions to the outside world, which treated all accusations with silent contempt, and shut itself up in a di g nified indifference to public opinion, undoubtedly lingers in Leadenhall-stree. In add,t;on to the ordinary difficulty of obtaining any information as to the intentions,, or even as to the mea'ures of the Company, until they are actually c triied into effect . , th.)re is this further and still more embarrassing obstruct on to the for :nation of a jnst estitua'e of their conduct, that no means exist by which it is po3s ble to ascertain whether the charges constantly brought against them are true or false. They permit an inscru table mSstery to hover not only over their prweelings, but over their character. With the most earnest desire to think favourably of them, f .r the sake of the vast interest entrusted to their f hands, their b at friends are left without a shreilleoir 11 their argument, or a fragment of a fa t, to u rge i defence.

It is now upwards of a month since one of the re-: cognised organs of the Government circumstantiaily charged the Company with delaying the transmis sion of troops ordered to India, and clairded exclu sively for Government thewhole merit of the promp titude and vigour with winch the emergency was met.

It will be remembered that on the anniversary of Shrewsbury show, this year, the town and neigh ]) ,urliced was visited by a terrific thunderstorm, whi.,h injured, among other places, the spire of the o,metery Chapels and the tower of St. Chad's Church. The eminent firm of Lewis and Hibbert, Manchester, thought this a fisting opportunity to tender their services in fixing conduct-n upon ele vated buildings, chimneys, &c., by a most inexpen sive mole. Their services were accepted by she officials of St. Chad and St. Alkmund, the Asylum at Bicton, the railway works at Colehani, and vas i ous places in the neighbourly - sot The means used to fix the wire; being a kitr : , of very large dimen sions, which is flown itnmed ately over the summit of the olject, upon wisio the string of the kite is al lowed to rest, and by ancther st m ing the kiteis lowered and a cs•rl orawn up, by which a lager rope and . pulley is drawn up. Through this pulley a strong rope is run, at the one end a seat is fixed 'sufficient fora man to sit comfoitably in, and securing himself there he may freely use his arms ' • at the other end . ere attache t weights t coun'erbatince the weight of the wan, and thus enable him to remain station ary, or draw himself up or down at pleasure. The conductor is a copper rop-, consisting of seven strands of seven wises each, giving a conducting surface equal to a rod three inches in circumference.

During the time they were engaged at St. Alkmuud's Mr. Falkener tried a few experiments with two of ki!es, both being fled from the same string, which practically proved the amount of electr:city in Itheatmosphere when there was not the slighte,t appearance of a thunder cloud. The string with which the kites were fled bad a small copper wire zunning through it, and down this came the electri city in such quantities that smart shocks were expe rienced by those who touched the rope. In order, however, to give a few scientific gentlemen as opportunity of witnessing the experiments, it was determined by Mr. Falkener to raise his kites on Kiugsland, on Friday last, and try- - soma more extenti a vn operations vith a Lava An iar.. bat - Being without tus own extensive apparatus these were comparatively limited. The air was found to be well charged,sand instead of two kites three were mounted,, all, as before, from the same string, Le. ing about 50 or 69 yards apart. After the whole of string, amounting to 1,000 yards, had been payed our, and it was calculated that the kites were about 600 yards high, several very smart shocks were felt, which became very much stronger when the jar was put into requisition ; the company pre se.it form-d themselves into a circle, and received the shocks in that position. After some time it was determinei to try if the electricity was strong enough to fire gunpowder, a quantity of whi c h was exposed; after a short delay the experiment suc ceeded to the admiration of all present. It being now late it was found necessary to haul down the kites, and the assemblage, which included several scientific gentlemen, disper,ed. Alas, whether from old age, or a jerk, or too hard pulling, we -; know not, but the string broke and the kites fled away with the speed of the birds whose name they. be tr, and were found late 'at night in the neigh lourboed of Copth , rn, we believe uninjurA. .We need not say that Mr. Falkener received the thanks of those present fur permitting them to w•tnels s - zme of the effects of electricity. Shrewsbury Journal. A CURIOUS BIGAMY CASE. (From the Boston Traveller.) In the police court, on Thursday, • Mr. John Henry Bate, an English gentleman, was arraigned, and waiving au examination, was hel l to 600 doll. to trial ou a charge of bigamy. The complaint was made at the instant of Mre. Gaorgiaana M. Bate, whose is somewhat singular. The case was about two years since before the lower tribunals of New York City for examination, and at that time form,ld the subject of a large number of news piper paiagraphs. It finally died out, however, and was not heard of again until its revival, within a few days, in this city. The lady, Mrs. G-orgianna M. Bate, alleges:that Mr. Bate, the party defendant, was lawfully marrie to her in England, some 22 years since ; that ' he subsequently martied another woman in Eng land, and was convicted of bil'omy there, and that in consequence of her efforts his punish ment W.IS only one mouth's i nprisonment. These efforts in his behalf were made, as Mrs. Bate says, upon his promise to live witui her, and to give up his second wife. The promise was not kept, however, and the next that was heard of tl case was about nine years since, as Mrs: Bate represents, she caught her truant husband_ in Canada, and obliged him, in the language of the papers of the day, "to pay handsomely _o allowing him to go at large." dead, and the Mr. Bate was reported . to for be Mrs. Bate, The story is now, that after leaving England, family went into widow, married again, and was, after a while, 9rnl l astonished by the re !urn. reminded of the nature judicially inflicted of her conjugal vows by a inent for bigamy. The twain were now puiiis 1 it even, but the lady soon recovered herself, owfhohesruspppOoLlsesde, herself was L I T following Mr.. Bate to this country, again procured his arrest in New York as above stated.
