" Kiss poor grandpapa and make him well !" answered
the child, remembering the doctor's own mode of cure in
similar mishaps to herself. "It shall do poor grandpapa
good I" she added, putting up her mouth to apply the
remedy.
" Ah, little one, thou hest greater faith in thy medicines
than ever I had in my drugs," replied the patriarch with a
giggle, surprised and delighted at his own readiness of re-
sponse. " But the kiss is good for my feeble old heart,
Pansie, though it might do little to mend a broken
neck; so give grandpapa another dose, and let us to

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE,

SHROPSHIRE UNION.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
Shrewsbury on Monday, Mr 11. Tootal in the chair.
The Secretary (Mr Wragg,.) having read the notice con-
vening the meeting, the report of the directors was, on the
motion of the C ITAIRMAN, seconded by Mr HeLYoALE,
adopted.

A dividend at the rate of £ 17s 6d per cent per annum
was declared.

Mr G. R. Jebb was elected an auditor in the room of Mr
119zledine, retired.

The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the
chairman.

STONEHOUSE AND NAILSWORTH.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
Nsilsworth on Saturday, Mr W. Wayne in the chair.
The report stated that since last meeting the construc-
tion of the works had been pushed forward by the contrac-
tors with the utmost vigour. More than two-thirds of the
lend required had been handed over to them, and the works
wore progressing in a most satisfactory manner. The engi-
neer reported that five-eighths of the entire earthwork had
been removed, and half of the masonry in bridges, culverts,
and retaining walls was finished. The directors had every
confidence that the works would be completed in May,
1865, unless soma untoward circumstances should arise.
The report was unanimously adopted, and the retiring
directors, Mr Flint and Mr Ford, were re-elected.

SPAIN.

In reference to the Royal order issued lately at
Madrid, that no Basque shall Le permitted to form
part of the crews of vessels trading at Spanish ports
beyond the coasts of Biscay and Guipuecoa unless
he has served on board a man•of-war, a communi-
cation from Santander states that the Commandant
of Marine at that port has just received instructions
directing him to continue the clearance of ships as
before, although they have Basque seamen on board
who have not served in men-of-war. Things,
therefore, remain as they Were for the present.

PROSPECTUS,

This Company is an extension of the Credit Foncier
(Limited) and of the Credit Mobilier (Limited) which were
established, the former for financial business in connection
with land, the latter for general financial operations.

The unexampled success achieved by those companies,
whose reports, just published, show the amount of net
profits,upon a paid-up capital amounting jointly to £lOO,OOO,
to be at the rate of upwards of 190 per cent. per annum, and
who have each declared a dividend and bonus of £2 per
share on £5 paid for less than six months' working, besides
carrying £40,000 to the reserve fund, and the enormous ac-
cession of business of both companies render it absolutely
essential to increase the capital, and thus enlarge the basis
of their operations.
With this view it has been determined to found the pre-
sent powerful institution, which will abserb the two com-
panies, and will take over the whole of their assets, include
ing their united reserve fund, amounting to £40,000. and
will also of course assume their engagements, and the
Directors' believe that the increased means the issue of
new capit 11 will place in their hands will enable them to
effect even greater results than have been already achieved.
The distribution of the shares will be made in the follow •
ing manner, by which it will be seen that a liberal propor-
tion has been appropriated for allotment amongst the gene-
ral public.
10,000 Shares will be issued to the shareholders of the
Credit Foncier (Limited) at par, in exchange for
the like number of shares now held by them.
20,000 Shares will (at their option) be allotted to the share-
holders of the Credit Foncier (Limited) (being at
at the rate of three new shares for eaoh share
held in that Company), which will be issued as
follows, viz.: —Two of such shares at a premium
of £2 13s 4d per share, and for every two shares
so taken one additional share at par.
10,000 Shares will be issued to the shareholders of the
Credit Mobilier (Limited) at par, in exchange
for the like number of shares in that Company
now held by them.
30,000 Shares will be allotted (at their option) to the share-
holders of the Credit Mobilier (Limited) (being
at the rate of three new shares for each share held
in that Company), which will be issued as fol-
lows, viz. :—Two of such shares at a premium
of £L 138 4d per share, and for every two shares
so taken one additional share at par.
20,000 Shares will be issued to the public at a premium of
£2 138 4:1 per share.

(From the Registrar- G eneral's Report.)
The deaths registered in London in the week
that e.aded last Saturday were 1,441, showing a
slightlincrease en the number in the previous week,
which was 1;413. If the deaths from epidemic
cholera is the 35th week of 1854 are excluded, it
will be found that the average number of devils in
the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,113,
which corrected for increase of population will be-
come 1,227. Hence it appears that the deaths last
week were 214 in excess of the estimated tramber.
The deaths from zymotic diseases w ere 513.
Under this head are incaided seven deaths from
smallpox, 58 from measlee, 62 from scarlatina, 18
from diphtheria, 23 from whoOpingcougla, 87 from
typhus, 180 from diarrhcei, and nine from cholera.
Of the 180 deaths caused by diarrhea, 159 were
of children under five years of age, and the nine
victims of cholera were under two years of age.
Of the 1,441 persons who died during the week,
800 were under 20 years of age, 210 were 20 and
under 40, ISO were 40 and under 60, 207 wet e 60
and under 80, and 44 were 80 years of age and up-
garde. The deaths of five nonagenarians c.Te re 4
corded; the oldest was a man whe had attained the
age of 93 years.

One hundred and fiftyeene persons died from
phthisis, the total number o persons dying from
other diseases of the respiratory organs, bronchitis,
pneumonia, asthma, &c., being 149.
Last week the births of 970 boys and 897 girls, in
all 1,867 children, were registered in London. In
the ten corresponding weeks of the years 18,54.-63
the average number (corrected) was 1,872.
At the 'loyal Observatory, Greenwich, thr, mean
height of the barometer in the week was 2F1•775in.
The barometrical reading was 30.13 in. at Ole begin-
ning of the week, and decreased to 29'52 in. on
Saturday. The mean temperature of tho a:r in the
week was 60.3 deg., which is 1.3 deg. above the
average of the same week in 43 years (es determined
by Mr glaisher). The highest day temperature was
81.0 deg. on Tuesdey. The lowest night tempera.,
tune was 47'4 deg. on Thursday. The entire range
of temperature in the week was therefore 33.6 deg.
The mean temperature of the water of the Thames
was 61.3 deg. The difference between the mean
dew-point temperature and air temperature was 9.1
deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was
73, complete saturation being repre3ented by 100.

1861), epread over an area of 3,808 statute acres.
The numbers are kindly furnished by the Registrar
General of Ireland.

The deaths in Vienna, as returned by Dr. Giatter,
were 280 in the week ending the 27th Augustwben

Bop Intelligence.

MAIDSTONE.-Picking is now general. The hops
in must grounds come down short of expectations.
Red rue: and white mould are on the increase, and
the hops tap fast changing colour. Still there will
be some very first-rate samples in this neighbour-
hood.
WEST MAnnixo,---Where picking hat commenced
the hops come down fast. The wind and rain have
turned some of them red, but there is not much
mould. Few are yet quite ripe, but it is feared
they will not keep. Picking will be general at the
beginning of the week.
ROCHESTER.—Picking has now commenced in
this district, and during the present week will be-
come general, From present appearances the crop
,;.opears to be overrated, as the hops come to scale
ligh:er than
%%Eli anticipated. The quality, on the
whole, is good, but in OM gardens the late frosty
nights hav,- proved very injurious.
CANTERBETIJ
.—During the past week mould has
made its appearance amongst the hops, although as
yet it has not made much havoc. In one or two
grounds picking has commenced, but this hops do
not come down quite so well as was anticipated, the
quantity being short underneath. The average will
be about 8 cwt. to the acre.
SUSSEX.—Many of the plantations have improved
ander the influence of the recent rains, and espe-
cialij during the past week. There is some draw-
back in the shape of mcald, which has increased it.;
a few localities, but not yet to such an extent as to
very seriously reduce the crop.
WORCESTEII.—Most of the planters began pick-
ing last week, and it will become general this week.
Four pockets of very inferior quality were said on
Saturday week at £5 12s per cwt.
Hol. PLANTING IN THE VALE 01 EVESHAM.--
Considerable interest has been felt by the introduc-
tion of hop culture in the much famed Vale of
Evesham. The ground was first planted three
years ego, and in this year fully polled, and pro-
mises a yield on the average of eight to nine cwt per
acre,
acre, While the bedded outsets planted this spring
will yield about two cwt per acre ; they aro all re-
markably free from diseasc,and promise to produce a
sample of excellent quality.— South EasUrn Gazette,
