CE N TRAL WALES.

Tho half yearly meeting of this company was held in
Shrewsbury on Monday—Sir C. R. Boughton in the chair.
The report stated that the works of the railway have been
so far completed as to admit of the permanent way being
used continuously from Knighton for a distance of 17 miles,
and the other portions of the works were in a forward state,
and the line would be ready for traffic early in October. The
amalgamation of the company with the Knighton, on the
opening of the Central Wales Extension line to Llandovey,
was scaled by this company and the Central Wales Com•
pany on July 4. The directors expected that the through
traffic would prove of considerable advantage to the finial.
gamated companies.
In moving the adoption of the report,

Tho CitliftmAN said it was a matter of groat satisfaction
to the directors to be able to give so favourable an account
of the progress of the works. A short limo ago the direc-
tors themselves went over the lino as far as Llandrindod,
and were well satisfied with the substantial character of
the works. He thought the amalgamation would be bene-
ficial to the company. He had only to add that every pos-
sible exertion was being made to forward the completion of
the works, and they were looking forward very hopefally
to the success that would attend their opening.
Mr G, PRicE, M.P., seconded the motion, and it was
agreed to unanimously.
London, England, 1864-08-31

THAMES.

A NIGTIT SCENE IN POPLAR,—William Connor, a sea-
man, Richard Ward, workman, and Ann Hughes, a seam-
stress, who gave another name, last night were brought
before Mr Paget, charged with being drunk, disorderly,
and assaulting police constables in the execution of their
duty.

Last night, or rather his morning, at a few minutes
past twelve o'clock, the prisoners came out of the Green
Dragon publichouse in High-street, Poplar, and began
shouting and bawling. They were desired by a police
constable named Owen, No. 305 K, to move on and go
home. Connor, who was mad with drink, began to pull
off his guernsey shirt, and said he had lett his ship to have
a spree, and would fight any one, or fight all the world.
He was taken into custody by another constable, named
Sorrell, No. 410 K, whom he kicked violently on the legs,
and nearly disabled him. Sorrell took hitt staff from his
case and gave Connor one blow, and succeeded in taking
him into custody. George Osborne, No. 129 K, took
Ward into custody, and the female said ho should not go,
and pulled him away. A scene of great disorder ensued,
and the screams and shouts of tho woman, who used very
bad language, were frightful. At last, and with additional
assistance, the prisoners were all secured. A crowd of `me
persons assembled in the High-street, and the disorder was
very great. Respectable and quiet inhabitants complained
of the disturbance.

Mr Paget said that Connor had seriously injured the
constable he had kicked, and he should sentence him to one
month's imprisonment and hard labour. Ho sentenced the
woman Hughes to seven days' imprisonment and hard
labour, and discharged 'Ward, who had not off,:red any re-
sistance to the police,

MARKETS—This Day.

HAY MARKETS.

The amounts of English wheat fresh up to our market
to-day were but moderate. The demand, however, for all
qualities ruled inactive, at Monday's quotations. The
quality of the produes was very good.

Most descriptions of Foreign wheat were in fair supply ;
but the amount of business transacted in them was very
moderate, at previous rates.

Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at previous
quotations.

Tho supply of barley on the stand was small. For all
quotations, the trade was firm, and Monday's currency was
well supported.
The malt trade was quiet, on former terms.

_ .
With oats, the market was well supplied, and the trade
for all quotations held somewhat active, at very full prices.
Beans and peas were fi-m, at fully late rates.
The demand for ilJur was steady, and prices ruled
tolerably steady.

The report states that the works of the railway were now
in course of vigorous pr3secution. The purchases of the
whole of the land, with the exception of a few acres not
immediately wanted, had been arranged, and possession
transferred to the contractor of all required for the works

chases had been mane generally on satisfactory terms. The
tender of Mr VT. Tredwell for the construction of the whole

nected the Bristol and Exeter Railway with the intended
station at Rownham. The accounts showed au expendi-

DUBLIN, Aug. 30.

A most brutal and unprovoked murder was com-
mitted in Omagh on Saturday evening last. The vie.
tim is Mr J. M'Crossav, a solicitor of considerable
repute in the county of Donegal. The circumstances
are as follows:—At the last Omagh Assizes Mr
M'Crossan was solicitor for the plaintiff in the
case of Doyle v. M‘Longhlin, coach builder. It was
the only record at last assizes. A verdict of £8
damages and 6d. costs was found fcr the plaintiff.
M‘Loughiln, the defendant, not paying the damages
and costs, at, execution was brought against him.
and the sub-she;a Mr C. M'Crossan, brother of the
deceased, was on Saturday last about to proceed with
the execution. 111‘Lo.'ighlin resisted, and his place,
which is situated street, Omagh, shut up
Cis.Ple-
against the approach of th.si sheriff and his bailiffs.
The sheriff, seeing that '6.'lstate° was nffatd,
sought the advice of his brothel;. who went to him,
and while speaking to the sub-she:Hi' on the street
at MiLoughlin's house, an iron rod, ,5 feet 8 inches
in length, having a hook with a barb al; the point,
was thrust by M'Loughlin out of the win dov on the
upper story, and pludged into the throat of Mr
M'Crossen, lifting him off the ground, and inflicting-
a dreadful wound. The carotid artery was cut, and
the blood gushed out in profusion. All the remedies
which medical skill could devise were applied.
During the night, and up to Sunday afternoon,
some hopes, though faint, were entertained of his
recovery, but about 1 o'clock p.m. he fainted, and
a change for the worse set in, which became more
serious, until he finally expired, after intense suffer-
ing, et 5 o'clock yesterday morning. A report of
the brutal outrage was at once conveyed to the con-
stabulary, three of whom were quickly at the
scene of the unfortunate occurrence. Constable
M'Caughan immediately ascended the win low,
forced his way into the house, and arrested
M'Loughlin. •

FISHING WITHIN THE LIMITS.—On Saturday, at
twelve o'clock, in the Townhall, Berwick, before the
Mayor and Mr Alderman Fleming, Pierre Malfoison, No.
652, and Elie Marie Nakire, No. 767. French fishermen,
from Boulogne, were charged by Alfred Frederick Mares-
eau; commander of her Majesty's gunboat Louisa, with
having fished, contrary to the statute, within three miles
of the English coast. He said—l was cruising last night
along the coast from Holy Island to Berwick. About half-
past two o'clock I saw a number of French boats fishing
within the limits among the English ones. At that time

Mrs Nesbitt jumped away slightly in advance of Tele.
gram and Wicket to the lower turn, where she gave way to
Mr Meeson's colt, who came on with a clear lead to the
half-mile post, where the favourite joined him. From this
point the pair raced for the lead to half-way up:the hill,
where Telegram drew away, and won in a canter by ten
lengths, a like distance between the second and third. The
winner was sold to Capt. Barron for 111 guineas.

The report states that considerable progress had been
made with his undertaking. A very advantageous con-
tract had beet made with Messrs. T. Brasscy and Co. who
would at oncE proceed to complete the works. The plans of
the tramway play wall, and landing stages at Bristol had
been satisfactAily arranged with and approved by the cor-
poration of tlat city. The capital account showed a total
receipt to the 30th of June of £53,287, of which £22,375
remained umxpended.

LA.UNCESTON AND SOUTH DEVON.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
Launceston on Friday—Mr Derry in the chair.
The report stated that the directors expected that at tho
next half-yearly meeting they would bo able to announce the
completion of the undertaking. Tho purchase of land had
on the whole proceeded satisfactorily, and a large number of
contracts had been completed. The opposition of the com-
pany to the proposed Launceston, Bothnia, and Wadebridge
Railway was the means of securing provisions in the bill
which the directors believed would be found materially be-
neficial to the shareholders. The capital account showed
the total receipts had been £95,139, and the expenses
£91,519, leaving a balance of £3,620.
The report was adopted without discussion, and the pro-
ceedings terminated.

KNIGHTON.
The half yearly meeting was held at Shrewsbury on Mon-
day—Sir C. R. Boughton in the chair.
The report stated that the traffic over the line of railway
for the half year ending the 30th of June last would enable
them to recommend that a dividend of £5 per cent. per
annum for the half year be paid, less income tax, on Mon-
day, Sept. 19. The permanent way on the line was in a good
state of repair. The agreement for the amalgamation of the
company with the Central Wales, on the opening of the
Central Wales Extension line to Llando- Central Wales
Company at the special general meeting of the shareholders
of both companies, held on July 4; and when the amalga-
mation came into operation the directors confidently ex-
pected that the through working of traffic opened out by
the southern outlets would prove of considerable and per-
manent advantage to the amalgamated companies. The
works of construction of the Central Wales Extension line
from Llandrindod to Llanndovery were actively progressing.
In moving the adoption of the report, the CitnlealiN said
the line was being very satisfactorily worked by the North
Western Railway Company, and though only partially
opened, the shareholders would have a dividend of 5 per
cent. per annum for the half year.
The motion was carried unanimously.
London, England, 1864-08-31

DARTMOUTH AND TORBAY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
Dartmouth on Monday; Mr C. S. Hqyne in the chair.
The report stated that the line to Kingswear had been
opened on the 6th inst, and the works necessary to accom-
modate the goods traffic were proceeding as speedily as pos-
sible. The Harbour Commissions were about to construct
quays and a deep-water pier in connexion with the railway.
The net earnings of the line had been £lOO in excess of the
same period in 1863.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, observ-
ing it was pleasing to find that, notwithstanding the great
engineering difficulties which they had had to encounter,

The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, expressed the
gratification of the directors at seeing the chairman of the
company, Mr C. J. Hilton, once more among them in im-
proved health. The works, for the carrying out of which
powers were obtained last session to raise additional capital,
were all progressing rapidly. The directors had to congra-
tulate the proprietors upon the large traffic receipts of the
company. The earnings had been still more satisfactory
since the commencement of the current halt-year, and
amounted to £143 12s per mile per week, and he believed it
would be difficult for any railway in the empire to show
such a return in its first year. Yet this return was one that
the company might fully expect to be exceeded. The goods
traffic was almost entirely undeveloped, and when the sta•
tion of the London, Chatham, and Dover Company at
Blackfriars was finished, and the connexion formed with
the Great Northern and other railways north of the Thames
an important accession of goods traffics would be brought to
the company's lines. The traffic, at present was satisfactory
in various ways, and in none more than at the present time
the company was earning enough not only to pay its ex-
penses, the interest on its debentures, a dividend on the B
shares and a dividend on the A shares, but to have a surplus
every week of £5OO. The places where the company's rail-
ways ran were places of public resort, and as the winter ap-
proached a falling off in this high traffic might be looked
for, but as there would be a large margin from the surplus
there need not be any fear as to the company having ample
funds after paying the expenses, not only to pay the deben-
tures and the B shares, but to provide a good sum for the A
shares. The dividend, it was believed, would be little under
6 per cent. Since the last meeting a new oyster company
had been established, and if that company should be suc-
cessful, it could not fail to prove an important source of
revenue to the company. He explained the advantages
which the company offered to visitors going to and from
Ramsgate.
Mr. HILTON seconded the motion for the adoption of the
report, which was carried nem. con.
vote of thanks to the chairman and din:eters concluded
the proceedings.

STEALING MARKED MONEY.—John Hawker, a boy in
the employ of Messrs Passe), and Co., military cap makers,
No. 7, Great Newport-street, was charged before Mr Tyr-
whitt with steeling some marked money from the desk of
his employers.

From the evidence of Mr john Wright, foreman to the
prosecutors, who stated that in consequence of money being
missed almost daily for the past six weeks, he, on the
pre-
vious night, marked 93 2d, and placed it in the till. On
going to the premises that morning he missed all the money,
and hearing that the prisoner, who was employed as errand
boy, had come half-an-hour before his time, he asked him
why he had done so, when he said he had woke earlier than
usual. He then asked the prisoner what money he had
about him, and he took from h;s pocket two sixpences,
stating that that was ail he had, and on looking at them be
(witness) found they were two he had marked overnight.
He then sent for a constable, and gave the prisoner into
custody, and on making a search the remainder of the
marked money was found under some wood in the kitchen.
The prisoner, who pleaded guilty, and said he took the
money to buy a pair of boots, was committed far four
months with hard labour.

r COMMITTAL WITHOUT A FINE FOR ASSAULTING A
LICENSED VICTUALLER.-Wm. Allen, 14, Prince's-row,
Newport-market, was charged with assaulting Mr Thomas
Lindfield, of the Queen's Head Tavern, 412, Oxford-street.
Mr Lindfield said that on the previous night the prisoner
and another man came into his house and called for some
drink, hut seeing they were both drunk ho refused to serve
them, and requested them to leave. The prisoner's com-
panion did so, but the prisoner refused, and on his (Mr
Lindfield) putting him out of his house, so as to prevent a
disturbance, the prisoner struck him a violent blow in the
face and eye, and but for the interference of a neighbour,
Schwabo, the prisoner no doubt would have inflicted
serious injury upon him, he behaving in a very violent
manner, and it requiring two constables to take him to the
station.

A constable proved seeing Mr Lindfield's face bleeding.
Mr Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for a month, with
hard labour, without tho option of paying a fine.

11ARTMOUTII AND TORBAY,

Tito halt-yearly meeting; of this company Waft held at
Dartmouth on Monday; Mr C. S. Rayne in the chair.
The report stated that the line to Kingswear had been
opened on the 6th inst, and the works necessary to accom-
modate the goods traffic were proceeding as speedily as pos-
sible. The Harbour Commissions were about to construct
quays and a deep-water pier in connexion with the railway.
The net earnings of the line had been £lOO in excess of the
same period in 1863.

Tho Cumin'AN mcved the adoption of the report, observ-
ing it was pleasing tn' find that, notwithstanding the great
engineering difficultiek which they had had to encounter,

the line had been opened for passenger traffic. They had
now opened up inland railway communication to ono of the
finest ports on the south coast, and he had no doubt that in
the course of a few years it would become an important har-
bour. It was, he thought, possible that Dartmouth might
be made a steampacket station, as the port had been in-
spected and reported favourably to Government. (Hear.)
The motion for the adoption of the report was seconded
by Mr BELFIELD, and unanimously carried.
A vote of thanks to the directors concluded the proceed-
ings.

IRISTOL AND PORTISHEAD.

' The report statos that the works of the railway were now
in course et vigorous prosecution. The purchases of the
whole of tht land, with the exception of a few acres not
immediately wanted, had been arranged, and possession
transferred the contractor of all required for the works
between the junction with the Bristol and Exeter Railway
and the level country some distance below Pill. These pur-
chases had Been made generally on satisfactory terms. The
tender of Mr W. Tredwell for the construction of the whole
lino had been accepted. Arrangements had been made for
the early completion of the portion of the line which con-
nected the Bristol and Exeter Railway with the intended
station at liownham. The accounts showed an expendi-
ture up to tae 30th of Juno of £33,702, and the receipt of
£37,(00.

Trial Trip of the Connector,

A steam-ship constructed upon a novel principle
made its trial trip yesterday from Tilbury do An the
Thames, and up the Medway to Chatham, with very
satisfactory results. The mode in which the ship is
constructed is in effect that of a train of vessels,
each connected closely together by a bolt, which
becomes separate and
can be removed at pleasure, and each of the sections
dorisptianretts,
vwehsesenlsdisficottnend withected masts and rigging,
and may be readily provided with steering
apparatus. The object which the inventor has in

view in this mode of construction is to afford greater
facilities for the cheap carriage of coal. It is con-
tended that by the use of the " connector" consider-
able saving may be effected, inasmuch as on arriv-
ing at the port of discharge the more expensive
parts of the ship, that containing the engines and
accommodation for the officers and crews, may be
detached and started immediately on the return
voyage while the hulk is being discharged. By the
time the return portion of the ship has reached a
northern port it will find the other sections ready
laden, and on being connected with the propelling
part may at once start on its voyage. In this man-
ner one steam engine and one set of officers may be
made to do the work of three colliers—one will be
loading, another unloading, and a third making the
voyage. In addition to the advantage in point of
economy, it is claimed for the invention that its
motion is much easier than in ordinary vessels, as
the point of connection between the different sec-
tions enables it to follow the motion of the water.
It has also this further advantage, that heavy car-
goes, say of 1,000 tone, may be carried in ships of
the ordinary construction with an equal capacity
for cargo. The Connector, which made what is
called a "trial trip" yesterday, had already been
tested over upwards of 4,000 miles of ocean naviga-
tion, and has been found i❑ both these respects fully
to answer the expectations of its inventor. We
may speak confidently as to the easy motion of the
vessel yesterday, and of the entire absence of any-
thing like that vibration which is felt in all steam
vessels. It is proposed to build colliers upon this
system which will carry 1,000 tons of coal, and the
promoters of a company which has just been formed
the of 0 ,i-Ning out the invention speak
very confidently of the success of their enterprise.

ROYSTON AND lIITCHIN.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at the office, Gracechurch-street ; Major W.
Amsinch in the chair.

Mr J. C. Janson, the secretary, read the notice conven-
ing the meeting, and attached the common seal of the com-
pany to the register of proprietors.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, it was resolved that a
dividend at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum, less income
tax, and ld. per £6 ss. stock for expenses of management,
be declared on the Royston, Hitchin, and Bhopreth conso-
lidated stock for the half•year ending the Ist inst., and be
paid forthwith.

The retiring directors, Sir R. W. Carden and Mr J.
Cobbold, M.P., were then unanimously re-elected, and the
proceedings terminated.

ELY AND NEWMARKET.

A meeting was held at Bury St. Edmund's, on Friday,
to consider this project. The Mayor (Mr H. La Grice)
presided. Resolutions were adopted to the effect that the
project deserved the cordial support of the town. The town
council and members for the borough were requested to
support the undertaking, and the Great Eastern Company
was also solicited to afford all practical facilit es for its
development.

Courts-Martial in the Pedera/ Array,

The courts-martial in the Northern army are
numerous. We have no means of knowing how
they get on in the Southern army. In the Week's
records to July 16th, upwards of 120 officers are
mentioned as being cnetiered or "dishonourably
dismissed," with the offences npeeifieri in escll case.
The most common, perhaps, is drunkenness. On
the whole, the list is a curious study. Captain
Powers is dismissed for "treachery and cowardice ;"
Captain Jolly, or tendering his resignation on a
surgeon's certificate that he was a confirmed ine-
briate; many dismissed for abst)nco without le m 3;
others for c,;aduct unbecoming an officer and a ger.
tleman, such as horse-atealing, and keeping money
belonging to their men; others for desertion.
Donald Gillies is dismissed " fcor having tendered
his resignation on the ground that a wound re-
ceived at Gattysburg had so intimidated him that
he has become constitutionally a coward, and unfit
to lead his comrany into action." One unlucky
officer's dismissal for absence without leave is re.
yoked, as it has been " discovered he was killed
in action," and so could not report: Em-
bezzlement of Government property is
a very rare offence. " Tyrannical and ea?.
ricious conduct" costs one John Walta'rs
his commission in the Kentucky cavalti ;
and Lieutenant Cole is dismissed for en-
listing sailors in the service of a Pr:eign
power. Lieut. John Devine- Comes to
grief
for ordering the house to be burned ; Capt..
Millar
for taking arms from fugitive slaves for his own
men; Capt. Alfred Brooks for representirig himself
to be sick and wounded ; Capt. Ross Deegan for
playing cards with his men. Many also are dis-
missed for disobedience of orders and disrespect to
superiors, and a batch of officers in a Missouri
cavalry regiment is turned out for not suppressing
a mutiny. Lieut. David is turned out for cruelty
to his coloured troops. In many cases the sentence,
&c., is ordered to be published in the local papers
where the culprit came from. Spriggs, 116th Ohio,
is dishonourably dismissed for uttering disrespect-
ful and contemptuous language against " Old Abo,n
alias the President of the United States. Ma jor
Hill is to be publicly stripped of the insignia, of
rank inghe presence of all the coloured troops at
Port Hudson, and to be confined as a convict with
hard labour on the Dry Tortugas for a year, "for
conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman."
Altogether the sentences are what might 'be ex..
petted, and show a state of things for which we
might be prepared if we considered the mode in
which this enormous army has been raised and
officered. No officer of the regular United States
army figures in the list.—Army and Navy/ Gazette.
