well-directed fire was suddenly opened upon them from the
bush and the high ground on the left. Three men being
wounded simultaneously, two of them mortally, assistance
was called for in order to have them tarried to the rear ; •
file was immediately sent, but had scarcely arrived, when
one of them fell, and Lieutenant Rees was wounded at the
seine time. Colour Sergeant Lucas, under • very heavy
fire from the rebels, who were not more then thirty yards
distant, immediately ran up to the &riddance of this officer,
and rent one man with him to the rear. He then took,
charge of the arms belonging to the killed and wounded
men, and maintained his position until the arrival of sup-
ports under Lieutenants Gibson and Whelan.—Gazette.

LONDON, BRIGHTON AND SOUTH COAST
RAAway.

The report of the directors, to be submitted to
the meeting of the pmprietors on Friday next, states that
the amount of capital raised to 30th June, 1861, is
,0,069,926/., consisting of ordinary stock, 4,620,0001. • pre-
ferential stock and shams, 3,003.5771. ; mortgagl:debt,
1,614,7151. ; debenture stock, 751,6341. ; total, 10,069,926/.
The" amount of capital expended during the half-year has
bas 252,1104., of which full particulars appear in the capital
neccend enacted. The ger reverts for the half-year has
bees 421,3791., showing an increase of 30,7884 over that of
the corresponding hatf.year of 1860, in which last-named
period special credit of 7,1011. apposed, earring of. old
as explained in the report of that half-year. Of
this increase 14,6741. arises in the goods, and the r, mainder
ia the coaching traffic. The weather during the c .rly por-
tion of 1861 was most unfavourable ; still the development
of Mane creed by the opening of the Vistaed& station has
produced results which afford satisfactory proof that the
keno expenditure involved in this new undertaking has
already become remunerative. Distinguishing the ordinary
expenses from the amount expended in renewals, the
general result of the comparison with the corresponding
half-year of 1860 steeds thus :—Ordinary expenses, 1860,
187,620/. ; 1861, 183,108/. ; renewals, 1860, 16,358/. ; 1861,
11,4011. ; total working expenses and renewals, 1860,
184,0571. ; 11181, 191.509/. ; per train per mile. 1860,
3s. Ofd. ; 1861, 3s. 0 d. ; per cent. on traffic receipts, 1860,
471 ; 1861, 47. The increase in the ordinary expenditure
arises from the extension of the company's system, and the
additional service thereby entailed, winch has produced its
attendant expenses both in working and in taxation. The
repairs and renewals in the locomotive departmestlave
caused a heavy expenditure during the pest ball-year.. The
period is also approaching when several of the engines built
between 1844 and 1848 will become unfit for profitable use,
In anticipation of which, thirteen engines, forming at pre-
sent an addition to the stock, have, as stated in emend pre-
vious reports, been built and paid for out of reveune. and
will come in aid of the replacements which will shortly be
called for. There has been a considerable tomer in the
chi for interest on preferential capitel,*ridng chiefly from
the fact that interest on the entire outlay in respect of the
Victoria station and its works has become a debit against
revenue for the whole of the half-year. Although the traffic
resulting from so important a metropolitan terminus has
only been partially developed, the increase arising from this
source has already produced an adequate return on the ex-
penditure, while a further augmentation of income may be
reasonably expected. The works on the West London Ex-
tension Railway are in a forward state, and the contractor
promisee to complete them by the end of the year. In any
case the lice will be opened in the early pert of next year,
affording a ready access, by means of the Kensington station,
for parengers from all parts of this company's railway to
the Great Exhibition of 1862 ; while the permanent admin.
teges attending a connexion with all the northern liar of
railway will be appsrent. The board are pressing forward
the works on the Croydon and lialham line, which they
hope to see completed et an early day ; by this route •
saving of nearly • quarter of an hour in the running of all
the main line trains to and from the Victoria station will
be effected, end the working of the one tinily increasing
local traffic on the Werced and Crystal Palace line much
facilitated. The attention of the directors is now given to
the construction of the line from the Mid.fiussex Reaves,' at
Pulborough to Arundel, Ford, and Littlehampton, which
will soon be in active operation. When completed, it will,
in coanexion with the Croydon and Balham line, enable the
traffic to Chichester, Portsmouth. and the Isle of Wight to
be carried on in a very expeditious manner. as this new
route will effect • saving of nearly 13 miles. The only bill
prosecuted during the present session of parliament, which
affected the interests of this company, was one by which
the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company at.
tempted to obtain compulsory powers, obliging this com-
pany to forward their traffic to and from all parts of this
railway,
.and enabling them to form a jaaction with this
company a West-end line at • crowded part, and, r the di-
rectors considered, in • manner calculated to prejudice the
public safety. The proprietors will be pleased to leans that
the committee of the House of Commons refused to greet
ouch powers. The net amount at the credit of the
account is 116,666/., out of which the directors recommend
the payment of a dividend of 2; per cent, for the half-year,
amounting to 115,300 f., leaving a balance to the credit of
the current hall-year of 1,158/.

BLAcarsisits-sanxia—The bridge which Mylne,
of Edinburgh, threw over the Thames at Blackfriars—now
Put • hundred years ago--is at length condemned. Ever
Moult was examined in 1833 by Messrs. Walker and Bur-
well, mid found to be so greatly dilapidated, its removal has
hem considered only a question of time. The great atten-
tion lately devoted to what Professor Black* with Scottish
" sent," calls the " grimy banks et the muddy
Thames," has greatly contributed to the determi-
nation now arrived at. A rage seems abo lately
to have set in in favour of new bridges over the
river. We have two new ones at Chelsea. Wesminater
and Hungerford are being rebuilt, and the substitution of •
substantial roadway for the rioketty structure at Blackfriars
will give our engineers an additional opportunity of showing
their scientific powen. We understand that the authorities
have invited six or seven of our most famous engineers to
submit designs for the new work, and that their several
projects have been some week or fortnight deposited with
the City Comptroller. When we mention that Mr. Page,
Mr. Hawkshaw, Mr. Fowler, end Mr. Cuhitt are amongst
the competitors, we give an assumuce that there is no lack
of science in the designs. We hope that art has not been
forgotten, and that the new work will be rendered as beau-
tiful u it will be enduring. Canova said of Waterloo-bridge
that "it alone was worth coming from Rome to Loudon
to see." We trust the authorities will select such a work
as will ample repay an illustrious foreigner for undertaking
an equally extended journey. We expect through the
courtesy of the City Comptroller in • few days to examine
the submitted designs, and to make our readers zebu-
quently acquainted with the nature and extent of them.—
