(THIS DAY.)

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was
held at 1 o'clock, at the offices, 4, Coleman-street-buildings ;
Mr. JAIIILS CLAY, M.P., io the chair. The report, after re-
commending the declaration of the usual preference divi.
deeds, with arrears, leaving a balance of 126/., went on to
say, that as from the Ist of December next the com-
pany would participate in all receipts above 95,000 f.
per annum from their line and that of the
Dundalk, it might be satisfactory to know that,
from the gradual but continuous growth of traffic, it
wee fully expected that the amount oa which the minimum
rent was fixed would be exceeded before the end of this
year ; and u the Pion VaUey Railway would shortly be
completed, which would open up an entirely Dew district,
the whole traffic of which must pass over the line, it was
thought that the income would continue to increue until
the maximum rent of M,OOOl. per annum was attained.
The report was adopted, sod the requisite formal resolu-
tions were passed.

The Rev. H. J. Hatch, whose name was pro-
mineatly before the public some time ago hes bees lioeus:d
by the Bishop of Qirlisle to the curacy of Pennington, Lan-
cashire.

DEATH OF THE VICE-PROYOBT OF DUBLIN UNI-
FERSITY.—The University of Dublin, we deeply grieve to
announce, lost yesterday morning one who had long been
among its brightest ornaments and most profound and
versatile scholars. Dr. Wall has departed at the extreme
age of eighty-five. In his case. as in that of his Oleos the
lamented Primate, the high distinction to which he attain:it
' was held with honour for an unusually long term of years.
Dr. Wall was fifty-seven years in all a Fellow of Trinity
College, and during thirty-eight of these he discharged the
duties of a Senior Fellow. In the latter capacity Dr. Wall
sever acted es an obstructive when any real reform was
mooted. Ilia affection for the institution was intelligent
and sincere. During fully ball a century be has been familiar
to successive resident' in the university as a counsellor and
friend.—Defilie Evewiwg Moil.
MURDER. —On Saturday evening last, about 8
o'clock, Stanton, near Ashboure, Derbyshire. was the
scene of a most brutal murder. It appears that es Mr.
Tomlinson, of Stanton Hell, was loading bay oat of a fleld
adjoining his residence, two of his men, who were engaged
in "pitching," having had some alteration relative to the I
amount of work each was capable of performing, one
of them, an Irishman, named Swaney, unawares, finely
attacked the deceased, a young man named Thomas
Stanley, dealing him blows and kicks alternately, until the
poor fellow lay a aortae on the spot. The prisooer after-
wards made his escape, but has since been captured by the
constabulary in a barn at Little Park, near Oksover-hall,
the seat of the high sheriff of the county, and is sow
safely lodged in the Asbbourn lock-up. The unfortunate
young fellow who so suddenly met hie death bore ea ex-
cellent character, and had only been mairied five weeks.
The prisoner is a tall, powerfully-built man, standing about
6 feet 2 inches is height.
SINGULAR BOATING ACCIDENT TO A GENTLE-
MAN.—On Wednesday last, Mr. Rasher, one of the barristers
of the Home Circuit, at the clime of the day took a light
wherry for a row on the Medway. He sculled beyond the
locks at Allington, and in the delicious atmosphere of the
summer evening and beautiful scenery did not torn big
prow towards Maidstone until late. It was about ten
when he reached the lock at Alliegton, and in paw
ing through, it being pitch dark, the rope attached to the
frail craft caught in someway on the gate, sull
vented its rising with the in-flowing water. Before it could
be disentangle) it filled arid went down. leaving Mr. Bomber
struggling iii the water, with nothing but slimy walls armed
him. He called to the lock-keeper, with whose assistance
he with great difficulty escaped from hie perilous positios.
His coat and waistcoat had goes down in the boat, sad
with them his gold watch and gold curb chain and bar, seal.
gold penholder, gold pin, and other valuables. On the malt
day th
wn e coat posed tiougih the sluice, and a. diver wait

of the property lost.—Afaidrrorie !cereal.

the Time writing from Clifton on the 3rd instant says :
" A solar halo of unionist beauty was seen here for several
boors yesterday. It appeared to me to attain its greatest
kwffiemy at 2.30 p.m. It was then so bright as to be
almost dinning at its highest point, and the colours wire
better sheers than I remsesber to have seen them before.
