HALF-YEARLY MEETING-THIS DAY.

The half-yearly meeting of shareholders of the City R apk
took place to-day—Mr. Peter Bell in the chair. The report
stated that the directors were enabled to declare the usual
dividend of £6 per cent, per annum, and a bonus of £1 10s.
per share, free of income tax (these two payments being
together equal to £l2 per cent, per annum), and to carry
forward to profit and loss new account the sum of £9,380
19s, Bd.

The CHAIRMEN moved the adoption of the report, and
remarked that an examination of the accounts, comparing
them with preceding ones, would show that the earnings
of the last half-year were considerably in excess of pre-
vious corresponding periods. The high value of money
had partly contributed to this success, but, as the en-
hanced rates for money had only been in operation for a
short period, their prosperity \vas rather due to their
increased business.
The report was unanimously adopted.

A court-martial extraordinary, sitting at Lyons,
has just pronounced a sentence of death uncle.:
extraordinary circumstances. The prisoner, one Joseph
Cuq, had been a private in the 100th Regiment of the Line.
It was proved that ho had deserted from the French troops
before Sebastopol just before the attack on the " Mamelon
vert," and warned the Russians of the impending assault,
which failed in consequence. After the war he shipped
himself as a stoker on board a Russian steamer, and was
arrested at Marseilles about six months ago. The court
found hint guilty, and sentenced him to death—that being
the sole penalty reset ved by the military code for desertion
to the enemy. It is not likely, however, that the sentence
will be carried into effect, When he deserted (June, 1855)
Cuq had been in the army 11 years.

WESTMINSTER:

PITIABLE CONDITION OF ILL-USED MARRIED WOMEN.
—A very respectable-looking woman besought the magis-
trate's interference and assistance in the following matter:—
She stated that she had been for some time residing in
the parish of St. Luke, Chelsea, and being now with her
three children in great distress, had applied for relief which
had been refused her, and she had, therefore, been recom-
mended to come before a magistrate.
Mr. Arnold—Are you a married woman ?
Applicant—Yes, your worship.
Mr. Arnold—Where is your husband ?
Applicant—You have sent him to prison.

Mr. Arnold—What for ?
Applicant—For ill-treating me, and the principal cause
of my distress has been the illness I have suffered through
his violence, which has prevented my being able to earn
my living as I could have done.
Mr. Arnold—When was he committed ?

Applicant—On the 27th of November last, for six months.
Mr. Arnold—What did the relieving officer say to you
when you applied to him ?

Applicant—lie said I and my chiliren could come into
;he workhouse, _

Mr. Arnold--Then he has, in law, offered you relief.
You apply to the parish, and the relieving officer offers to
take you into the workhowe—that is all that is required of
him. You cannot compel him to give you the sort of
relief you require.
Applicant—lt was no good telling me that I might go
into the workhouse with my children. I don't want to go
there for my life. lam willing to work for my living, and,
with a little present help, could do so. Who would go
into the workhouse and by so doing break up the little
home one has made ? It is very hard, I think, your wor-
ship.
Mr. Arnold—lt may be, but the parish have a right to
give relief in the way they think fit. It is for them to do as
they please in that respect. You may make an application
to the board of guardians and hear what they say.
Applicant—l have always worked for my living, and am
willing to do so, and I want to work for myself and children
outside a workhouse. Will your worship grant me a pro-
tection order against my husband when he comes out ?
Mr. Arnold—No, I cannot.

Applicant—Why, you worship ?
Mr. Arnold—Protection orders are only granted to wives
where their husbands have deserted them and gone away.
In the present instance the man has been committed by
me for beating you. Having been sent by the law to pri-
son, he cannot be said to have deserted you.

TEIGN VALLEY.

It is proposed to extend this short line, which was sanc-
tioned by Parliament last session, from one end of it to
junctions with the South-Western and South Devon Rail-
ways at Exeter, a distance of 7 miles, and from the other end
of the Teign Valley line, which is to be eight miles in
length, an extension to Ashburton and Buck fastleigh. The
object of those proposed extensions, which Parliament will
be asked to sanction in the ensuing session, is to form part
of an inland line between Exeter and Plymouth, running
close to the old coach road.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGII-STREET.

MURDEROUS ATTACK THROUGH JEALOUSY.—EIiza
Jones, a respectably-dressed married woman, residing at
No. 12, Ledbury-road, Notting-hill, was charged before
Mr. Tyrwhitt with unlawfully and maliciously wounding a
female, named Charlotte Nicholas, in Denman-street,
Golden •equare.
_

The injured woman was unable to attend.
James Ignatius Mullin, a young man, living at 5,
Queen's Bead-court, Great Windmill-street, deposed that
on tke previous afternoon, while standing in Great Wind-
mill-street, he saw a number of persons collected at the
corner of Denman-street, and a sort of skirmish going on.
He went up to see the cause, when ho heard the
prisoner say to a young woman, " This is your game.
It has been going on for four years, and I have caught yet
at last." The prisoner then, having an open razor in her
hand, struck the young woman across the eyes with it, and

afterwards on the.right hand. The young woman, who
bled profusely from her wounds, was then conveyod to the
Charing-cross Hospital, and the prisoner taken into custody.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the witness said he heard
nothing more from either of the females than he had stated,
and that they were both sober. He understood the young
woman's name was Nicholas.

Mickleborough, 307 A, said the prisoner made no reply
to the charge.
The prisoner said she had found her husband with the
young woman several times.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he was sorry the prisoner had taken
such a mode of settling the matter. He would remand her
for a week.
The husband of the prisoner asked whether the magis-
trate would accept bail for his wife?
A CORPORAL OF THE GRENADIER GUARDS CHARGED
WITH RODBURY.—Henry Webber, a corporal of the 2d
battalion of Grenadier Guards, was charged with stealing a
silver watch, of the value of L 3 10s., from the person of Dl r.
James Lynch, of 1, Surrey-lane, Wandsworth.
The prosecutor had been drinking with the prisoner and
a female all day, and from his statement it appeared that,
on wishing to leave, the prisoner snatched his watch away,
and ran off, dropping it down an area.
The prisoner said it was a prostitute who Lock the watch
away.
John Staines, 123 C, said that, on taking the prisoner
into custody, the prosecutor said it was a mistake. The
prisoner made no attempt to get away whatever, and said
,he would go to the station. Both parties had been drinking.
The prisoner's sergeant gave him a good character,
Mr. Tyrwhitt discharged the prisoner.
The prosecutor, who had been most anxious that the
matter should not come before the magistrate, thanked the
magistrate for his decision.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

111ELBOURNE AND HOBSON'S BAY.

The report of the directors of this company congratulates
the proprietors on the traffic receipts of the Sandridge and
St. Kilda lines presenting satisfactory results. During the
greater portion of the last six months the company's pier
has been fully occupied by vessels, including the largest
ships which enter the bay. The portion of the pier origi-
nally constructed on sunken ships will shortly be completed
and made equal in strength and durability to any other
portion of the pier. The coal traffic is also increasing at
the pier considerably, and a further extension of that
traffic may be fairly anticipated, while from the recent
arrangements made for the reception of wool at the new
sheds at Sandridge, for shipment to the company's pier,
a much larger quantity of that important article of export
will be forwarded by the Sandridge line than hereto-
fore. The traffic receipts for tho past six months show a
gross profit, after the deduction of interest on debentures
and payment of working expenses, of £19,251. This amount
is more than equivalent to 91 per cent. per annum on the
capital stock of the company, and had the weather not been
so very unpropitious for travelling and sea-bathing during
the last month of the half-year, a dividend at the rate of 10
per cent. could easily have been declared, The directors,
therefore, recommend that a dividend at the rate of 9 per
cent. per annum be declared, leaving a balance of £1,251.
The engineer reports that tie whole of the permanent way
is in excellent order, and that the locomotives and other
rolling stock of the company are always kept in the highest
state of efficiency. The capital account shows that the total
expenditure on the main line and works to Oct, 31, 1863,
amounts to £387,800, and on the St. Kilda branch to
£113,585, together £501,685. The revenue account for the
six months ending Oct. 31 last shows that £35,546 had been
received, and £12,713, or 3516 per cent., expended, leaving
a balance of £22,833. From this is deducted £3,512 for in-
terest on loans, leaving a balance of £19,251 available for
dividend. The receipts per train mile amount to lOs 4d, and
the expenses to 3s Bad, leaving the profit on the working 68
713 per train mile.

TEIGN "VALLEY.

It is proposed to extend this short line, which was sanc-
tioned by Parliament last session, from one end of it to
junctions with the South-Western and South Devon Rail-
ways at Exeter, a distance of 7 miles, and from the other end
of the Teign Valley line, which is to be eight miles in
length, an extension to Ashburton and Buckfastleigh. The
object of those proposed extensions, which Parliament will
bo asked to sanction in the ensuing session, is to form part

use of the officials and workmen belonging to the steam
reserve. Admiralty instructions have also been given for
the millwrights' shop to be used as an improving school for
junior engineers of the navy, who will be required to devote
a certain portion of their time to the practical study of ma-
chinery, in addition to their course of theoretical study at
the dockyard school. The above alterations have been ren-
dered necc.ssary in order to prepare the junior officers of the
naval engineers for tits scientific examinations ordered by
the Lords of the Admiralty in a recent circular. The con-
trol of the steam reserve factory will be vested in the in-

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

MELBOURNE AND HOBSON'S BAY.

The report of the directors of this company congratulates
the proprietors on the traffic receipts of the Sandridge and
St. Kilda lines presentin•satisfactory results. During the
greater portion of the last six months the company's pier
has been fully occupied by vessels, including the largest
ships which enter the bay. The portion of the pier origi-
nally constructed on sunken ships will shortly be completed
and made equal in strength and durability to any other
portion of the pier. The coal traffic is also increasing at
the pier considerably, and a further extension of that
traffic may be fairly anticipated, while from the recent
arrangements made for the reception of wool at the new
sheds at Sandridge, for shipment to the company's pier,
a much larger quantity of that important article of export
will be forwarded by the Sandridge line than hereto-
fore. The traffic receipts for the past six months show a
gross profit, after the deduction of interest on debentures
and payment of working expenses, of £19,251. This amount
is more than equivalent to 91 per cent. per annum on the
capital stock of the company, and had the weather not been
so very unpropitious for travelling and sea-bathing during
the last month of the half-year, a dividend at the rate of 10
per cent, could easily have been declared. The directors,
therefore, recommend that a dividend at the rate of 9 per
cent. per annum be declared, leaving a balance of £1,251.
The engineer reports that the whole of the permanent way
is in excellent order, and that the locomotives and other
rolling stock of the company are always kept in the highest
state of efficiency. The capital account shows that the total
expenditure on the main line and works to Oct, 31, 1803,
amounts to £387,800, and on the St. Kilda branch to
£113,885, together £501,685. The revenue account for the
six months ending Oct. 31 last shows that £35,546 had been
received, and £12,713, or 35.76 per cent., expended, leaving
a balance of £22,833. From this is deducted £3,512 for in-
terest on loans, leaving a balance of £19,251 available for
dividend. The receipts per train mile amount to 10s 4d, and
the expenses to 3s Bal, leaving the profit en the working Gs
711 per train mile.

VIENNA, lAN, 19.

The Emperor addressed the officers and men of
the execution troops intended for Schleswig at the
review yesterday. His Majesty said :

" I have assembled you for a farewell greeting.
Keep on good terms with your Prussian brethren-
in-arms. I know that you will do your duty as if
you were at home, and, should it come to blows,
will show your courage."
The Finance Committee were engaged until a
late hour last night in discussing the demand of the
Government for tec millions of florins to cover the
expenses of the expedition to Schleswig.

Count Rechberg and Herr von Schmerling were
present. The proceedings show that in consequence
of the extent of the present expedition the demand
for credit might be increased. According to the
statement of the Ministers, the Government wished
to prevent the European war apprehended to fo►low
the adoption of the Hessian motion, and to localise
hostilities.

Herr von Schmerling defended the steps taken
by Count Rechberg, and said that he agreed with
his policy.

He would consequently not enter into any arrange-
ment or treaty contrary to that end. He placed his
confidence, not is the strength of arms, but in a
protecting Providence and justice.

A court-martial extraordinary, sitting at Lyons,
has just pronounced a sentence of death under
extraordinary circumstances. The prisoner, one Joseph
Cuq, had been a private in the 100th Regiment of the Line.
It was proved that he Lad deserted from the French troops
before Sebastopol just before the attack on the " Mamelon
vert," and warned the aussians of the impending assault,
which failed in consequence. After tho war he shipped
himself as a stoker on hoard a Russian steamer, and was
arrested at Marseilles about six months ago. Tho court
found him guilty, and sentenced him to death—that being
the sole penalty reserved by the military code for desertion
to the enemy. It is no; likely, however, that the center ^e
will be carried into effe.it. When he deserted (June, 1355)
Cul had been in the array 11 years.
