STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON.

The balf-yearly meeting of this company was
bold on Wednesday, in the offices, Northgate, Darlington.
&Mr. H. :'AhCOE jvJTH, chairman of the company, ex-
pressed his regret that indisposition rendered him unequal
to the task of presiding over the meeting, and moved that
Yr. ALFRED KITCHINC: take the chair.

no report, which has appeared in our columns, was
taken as read. The register of shareholder was signed by
the chairman and was not sealed as heretofore, in °nose-
qaeoce of the amalgamation of this with the North Eaatern
Vompanr.

The CHAIRIIAN said the accounts which had been banded
to them were the accounts of the late Stockton and Dar-
lington Company previously to the amalgamation, and they
were so fully entered into that be need scarcely notice any
part of them. The second paragraph of the report referred
more particularly to the decease of the late chairman. He
was sure they would regret, with the directors, that they
bad lost so able and distinguished an individual. He had
Idled the duties which he (the chairman) now discharged
that day in a manner exceedingly gratifying to every one
of them. The next paragraph referred to arrangements
that had been entered into with the North Eastern Rail-
way Company, which he hoped would put an end to the
disagreements which had formerly existed between the Jct.
companies. The line from Barnard Castle, which had just
been opened, promised greatly to facilitate traffic by a
saving of two hours in the journey between Newcastle and
LiverpooL The tarp works established in the neighbour-
hood of Middlesbrough were another source of gratification.
There were no less than six or seven furnaces which would,
ire time, become productive of great interest to the
amalgamated companies. Looking at the Stockton and
Darlington produce for the last twelve months, there had
been • traffic of 80 millions of tons over • mile. Referring
more particularly to the last paragraph of that, which was
the last issue of their report, it was a matter of considerable
patirication, that during a period of 38 years there bad
cot been, he believed, • divided vote amongst the
directorate ; there had been no question of any importance
Per put to the board upon which there had been a
divided vote. He did not know that it 'was necessary
for him to occupy any moire of their time, but if there
were any quer dices shareholders wished to ask he hoped
that he ghoul l be able to give satisfactory answers. The
chairman t ten moved the adoption of the report and
amounts.

-----
After w ,mo discussion,
The rer ,nrt and statement or accounts were then adopted,
the divii lends were agreed to, and with a vote of thanks
to tha • directors the Meeting terminated.

WOOLWICH. Ancogr 11

The officers comprising the Ordnance select
committee have been ..gated at the Royal Arsenal practice
range during the present week, in a repetition of experi-
ments to teat certain improvements effected in Broadwell'a
breech-rifled gun, which from its peculiar construction and
efficiency has remedy attracted much &iteration. Mr.
Broadwell's system consists of the introduction of a self-
acting gas-ring or valve into the wedge or breech-block of
the gun ; but the object of the present experiments was to
ascertain the advantage or otherwise of having the gas-ring
placed in the bore of the gun, having a besting on the face
of the breech-block. The gun tested was an 18-pounder
fitted up on this principle, and the result frilly established
the merits of the invention, and also proved that the system
might be easily applied to any description of rifled ordnance.
Mr. Broadwell has received the sanction of the War Depart-
ment to apply his system to gnus of large calibre, with •
view to its ultimate adoption for 80 and 110 pounders.

REINFORCEMENTS TOR INDlA.—Yesterday Captain
Cl. E. Leggett and 13 men of the 77th Regiment, and Lieu-
tenant C. Holloway and 10 men of the Slat Regiment left
the garrison and proceeded to Gravesend, where they em-
barked on board the hired troopship Essex, for Calcutta.
In consequence of the amount of labour required to com-
plete the great gallery which is being driven by the Royal
Engineers beneath St. Mary's barracks, the siege operations
which were intended to take place at this garrison to-morrow
are unavoidably postponed until the ensuing week. In
addition to the entire force of the garrison, the squadron of
gunboats will also take part in the operations, and shell the
fortifications.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MA RIC-LA NE. —(THIS DAY.)
The supply of English wheat received fresh up to our
market this morning, coastwise and by land carriage, was
very moderate. Notwithstanding that the show of samples
of both old and new was limited, the demand was in a
sluggish state, at prices about equal to Monday. Some of
the new wheat. were in very fine condition. Red sold at
from 44a. to 48s. ; and white, 4Se. to sfis. per quarter.
'fhesehow of foreign wheat was seasonably large. Good
and fine qualities supported late currencies ; but the btui•
new doing in them was limited. Low and damp parcels
moved off heavily, at barely late rates.
Floating cargoes of grain off Falmouth were VII 7
and, in some instances, prices had a drooping tendency.
We were again scantily supplied with barley. Factors,
generally, were firm in their demands ; but the inquiry was
wholly restricted to small parcels, at previous currencies.
There was a fair demand for malt—the show of which
was moderate—at unaltered quotations.
The supply of oats was moderate. Most kinds moved off
slowly. Prices, however, were supported.
In beans vary little was passing on former terms.
Peas met a slow sale, but we cannot call them cheaper.
The flour trade was in a sluggish state, at Monday's
currency.
Linseed was firm in price. Otherwise the seed trade was
somewhat heavy. In caltra very little was doing.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Autx.i 13.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN Br MORTON, Lantos, AND MORTON.
' • •

• -
The bankrupts were coal merchants, of Buckingham-
! street. Strand. This was the sitting for examination and
discharge Lunnoo has atocooded ; the other two bank-
rupts, father and son, appeared. Their joint liabilities
amount to 2,14 C./. ; the asset.; are returned at 1,247/. The
private debts of Morton, set,.. are 4441., with assets of
1204 ; Morton, juo., owes 562/., with 00 assets.
Mr. Sargood, for the assignees, asked for an adjournment
of the examination sitting. Lumina had not suirrudered to
the bankruptcy. It had turned out on inquiry that a per.
son named Cockburn bad been in partnership with the
bankrupts during their short and unfortunate period of
trading. This person bud introduced 400/. of capital, and
though he had drawn bills on the firm for this amount,
there was no pretence for saying that he bad retired from
the partnership before the bankruptcy. As an action had
been brought against Cockburn to try the question of
partnership, the bankrupts ought not to pass on those ac-
counts. which contained no reference whatever to Cock-
burn's liability.
. . .

Mr. lawratifie, on behalf of the bankrupts, pressed for an
immediate decision of the case. The assignees were in pos-
se/13WD of all the information that could be obtained. The
failure was owing to the absconding of Lannon, immediately
on which the bankrupts bad placed themselves in the hands
of their creditors, and bad given the fullest and most ample
accounts, which had been examitied on behalf of the assig-
nees, by Messrs. Hart Brothers.
His Honour thought an adjournment desirable, in order
that the assignees might have full opportunity for investi-
gating the accounts.

during her paasage. The Seine brings 115 pas-
sengers, specie value 1,168,580 dollars, and the

and Dominique, 27; Antigua, Montserrat, and
Nevis, 28 ; St. Kitts, 29 ; and St. Thomas, 31.

The news from the West India Islands is unim-
portant. At Jamaica the business had been a little
more active, no excessive importations having taken
place. The revenue returns for the quarter ending
30th June, after deducting return duties, amounted
to 86,2121., being au inorease of 2,11111. over the
collections in the corresponding period of the year
previous. The drought is still complained of as
severely threatening the coffee and sugar crops.
Coffee was dull, 84s. to 56e. being the quotations for
good ordinary. A heavy crop of pimento is ex-
pected, and sales were made at 12s. 6d. to 13s. per
1001 be. Rum realised 2e. for proof 18 in bond.
Sugar ranged from 17a. to 20s. ; supply not large.

don, 90 days, is quoted at per cent. prem. ; 60
days, 1 per cent. • and 30 days, 14 per cent. prem.
The BarbadoestLegislature met on the 14th ; the
proceedings were unimportant. The weather con-
tinned showery, but the young canes were rapidly
improving in appearance. Provisions were scarce
and dear, and prices of breadstuffs advancing.
The produce shipped to date amounted to—sugar,
35,883 Wide. 2,632 tierces 8,656 bls. 804 bags ;
molasses, 8,010 puns. 301 hhds. 313 Ws. ; rum,
29 puns. 102 hhds. The health of the island con-
tinued good.
The weather at Trinidad continued wet, but not
injuriously so. The crop of the season was nearly
all shipped, and the falling off was leas than ex-
pected. The quantity exported to date reached
' 38,226 hhds., against 36,744 hhds. to the same date
last year.
Dates from Valparaiso are to July 3; Coquimbo,.
4 ; Caldera, 5 ; Arica, 8; Chinches, 11 ; Callao,

consideration the propriety of directing that opposition be
made to the application to parliament by the Metropolitan
Board of Weeks for an act to empower the board to make •
new street from Blackfrismbridge to the Mansion-house.
This gave rise tot short discumion, during which Deputy
TROXBON, who opposed the motion that the petition
should be referred to a committee, observed that he was as
anxious as anyone could be thet the corporation of London
should carry out their own improvements, but they had no
funds to do so in this particular case ; and if the work,
which was very emoted for the convenience of the public,
was not done by the government, it would not be done at
all. (Bear.

ARMY ESTI tif ATI/B.

Sir H. WILLOUGHBY inquired of the Secretary of
State for War whether the numbers of the foremen, arti-
ficer% workmen, he., in the varies' manufactories of the
War Department were aotornitted in the easy estimatee for!
1863-4, east if so, whether the Secretary of State for War
would take care that the mei= be supplied in the same
form ea iu the army estimate of 1862-3.
Sir 0. C. LEWIS replied that the army estimate* of this
year had bees prepared with comiderable care, with the
view of WM before the hones all the information that
was likely to be undid in debate. The information re-
ferrod to was advisedly omitted, for the reason that the
artifice!' anaidayed by the War Department were for the
most part paid by the piece, and therefore any statement
of the number of parsons employed was necessarily founded
upon vague and meartain data. But if the hog. gentleman
wished for the umber, he would take care that it should
be laid upon the table.

The Lorde of the Admiralty have accepted the

at this dockyard, but have requested him to cootinue at
hi post until the completion and launch of the iron frigate
Achilles, 1,250-horse power, which will be undocked in
about two months from the present time. It is stated that
the reason for this sudden step on the part of Mr. Lang is
his dissatisfaction at being i.upereeded by the appointment
of Mr. J. W . Ford n• eLtet constructor of the navy. Mr.
Lang has been: JA 1 i •r ice a considerable number of years,

THE POLICE COURTS.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Ann Polltndine, cook in the service of Mr. John Dicken-
son Betts, tea dealer, of 262, Oxford-street, was brought
before Mr. Tyrwhitt by Sergeant Cole, 23 C, charged with
stealing several sums of money belonging to her muter, in
all about 48f., the robberies having beeu carried on in a most
artful and systematic manner.
Mrs. Bette, the wife of the prosecutor, deposed that the
prisoner had been in her service u cook for some time. On
Monday week the prisoner went for a holiday, and returned
the following Friday evening, and shortly after left the
house and never returned. A day or two afterwards it was
discovered that money which had been given to the prisoner
to pay the different tradesmen's bills bad never been paid.
Sergeant Cole. who apprehended the prisoner at No. 9,
Brown-street, Grosvenor-square, said that be had awn-
tained that part of the prisoner's system was to receive the
bills from the tradesmen, and then, to avoid the words
" bill delivered " being seen by her mistress, which would
have shown that previous bills had not been paid, to make
out fresh ones in her own handwriting and to receipt them
herself. In one case the prisoner had failed to pay a bill
of 391. 10s. to Mr. Spinks, butcher, of Crawford-street,
Bryanston-square. One of the tradesmen, Mr. Hay, baker,
of North Audley-strest, was present to prove the non-pay-
ment of a Dill. . .

Hr. Hay proved that he had not received payment of the
hill for' e. 3d. produced, nor any money once November
. . .

Mr. Tvrwhitt, on granting a remand, said that then
came, of which there had been several before the court
lately, all arms through persona not seeing their tradesmen
themselves, which they ought to do once a fortnight.
The prisoner was then remanded.
The prosecutor is rather unfortunate, his traveller
having recently absconded with defalcations to the amount
of not.

REFUSAL OF THE KING TO ATTEND THE
FRANKFORT CONFERENCE.
COPENHAGEN, AUGUST 13.

The King of Denmark has declined to be present
at the conference of the sovereign members of the

A grand military camp will be established and a
review held at the end of this month near Daunc-
kirke, in Schleswig. The King will visit the camp.

AUSTRIA AND MEXICO.
VIENNA, Acocsr 13.

The Oesterreichische Zeitung, in an article on the
election of the Archduke Maximilian to the throne
of Mexico, says :—" The acceptance or refusal of
the throne is up to the present a personal affair
with the Archduke. The Austrian government has
in no way interfered in the question, and taken no
part in the negotiations relative thereto. The E peror
Napoleon in communicating direct with the Arch-
duke has also perfectly maintained this point of
view. Negotiations have been opened solely
between the two high personages, and not between
France and Austria. The conduct of the Emperor
has thus been marked both by courtesy and loyalty.
The situation of Mexico might lend at a later period
to differences with America. But all this is irrele-
vant so long as the matter has a personal character
apart from polities. It is for the Archduke in his
wisdom, and in consulting his own tastes, to see
whether he will enter into this affair, and what gua-
rantees he can obtain. The Archduke is too ex-
perienced a man to accept the MET of the
Mexicans before their country be entirely sub-
tnitted, and before it has expressed itself through
the medium of freely-elected representatives."
The o,sterreichische Zeibtng concludes :—" The
whole subject is one of a very delicate and difficult
nature, and must be treated with prudence and
ability."
