pretty freely in John Barleycorn at a public house in the
market-place, when they "fell out." They had a "set-to"

still continued, notwithstanding the loss of Smith's auri-

NEATH AND BRECON.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at the office, Duke-street, Westminster—Mr W. L.
Banks in the chair.

The Secretary read the report, which stated that 10i
miles of the lin?, were now opened for goods and mineral
traffic, and that such progress had been made with the works
that 11 miles more was almost ready for laying the perma-
ment way.

Tho CizsznazAx, ip moving tho adoption of the report,
said he did so witu much pleasure, as the works had been
carried on with the most extraordinary vigour throughout
the whole line. The distance from the company's terminus
near Neath into the town of Brecon was about 33 miles, of
which nearly 11 miles were completed and at work for
mineral traffic, The works had only been commenced in
May, 1863 ; they would be completed within two years from
that time. lie believed the whole line would be opened for
traffic in May next. The company stood on amicable re-
lations with neighbouring lines.
Captain C. LAYTox seconded the motion, which was
agreed to. _ _

A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings,

INVERNESS AND ABERDEEN JUNCTION.

The report of the directors states that the accounts for
the six months ending the 31st of July last showed that
£58,960 had been received, including a balance of £lO3
from the preceding half-year, and that £10,915 had
been expended, including £5,675 for interest on
debentures, leaving an available balance of £18,016,
out of which £8,733 was deducted for dividends on
the A, B, C, and D preference stocks ; £2,353 for divi-
dend on the Ross-shire stock, at the rate of 3/ per cent
per annum; and £6,807 for the proposed dividend on the
ordinary stock of the company at the rate of 4 per cent
per annum, leaving a balance of £122. The working ex-
penses amounted to 44 per cent. of the receipts, The traffic
of the whole system, more especially on the Inverness and
Perth section, continued to improve, and the directors be-
lieved the improvement would continue. The extension
from Inv ergordon to MeLle Ferry was opened on the Ist of
June, and the further extension to Biller- bridge would be
opened on the Ist of October, thus comp'eting the company's
system. The double line between Inverness and Dalcross
would also be opened on the Ist of October. A scheme for
constructing a line from Dingwall to the West Coast had
been brought forward under favourable auspices, and as the
line, if made, would throw a large traffic on their line, the
directors view the prospect favourably. The capital account
showed that £1,393,772 had been expended.

Business continued quiet, but an improvement was
drawing nearer every day. Seasonable rains had
fallen i❑ and around Port Elizabeth duiiog the last
day or two, and it was hoped that they hid ex-

There had recently been considerable discontent
on the part of the labouring chases in C:pc Town
at the scarcity of employment, owing to_the discon-
tinuance of gove'rnment works, but some oralkies had
been issued for the continuance of those works, and
this had had a beneficial (ffect. The governor lied

Mr. Alfred Mellon's Conceits.

These admirable concerts, from unavoidable circUnl;
stances, are rapidly drawing to a close, the ensuing wee
bringing with it a demand for the theatre, for its prepara,
tion for the first campaign of the Royal English OPell
Company (Limited). During the career of these delightful
musical evenings Mr. Alfred Mellon has proved himself
a judicious, intelligent, and tasteful caterer for the delec'
melon. and education of the public. The orchestra hashes¢
of unsurpassable excellence—his solois's of rare abilitr',
and the manner he has conducted the vast resources at bull
command has elicited universal satisfaction. The concer''
last night opened with Haydn's Symphony in G
one of his oldest works—written anterior to the twos.-
grand symphonies composed in this country for sale:
man's concerts. In all the finest qualities of orchestral
composition—symmetry of form, the transparent clearnes6
which arises from the absence of a single superfluous netet
the delightful melody of every movement, and above ally the
" eternal sunshine" which is the peculiar charm of Hafill: d
music—this symphony, old as it is, has never been excelled
The band played it with evident enjoyment, and their feeling
was shared by the audience. Bottesini then played a sni°
on his wonderful instrument, taking for his theme a bon-
tiful Romenza of Spontini. Carlotta Patti had fail seas
for the display of her extraordinary compass of voice in the
fatuous air of "The Queen of Night," in the same operas
which rises almost to the unreachable height of F in alter
an elevation which, nevertheless, she reached with BP'S-
rent facility, to the great admiration of the audience,,
who insisted on a repetition. The young Pi21118,-,
Mdlle Krebs gave Weber's admirable " Concert-SAW'',
but the joyous and exulting climax of the final movement
was weakened by the exceeding rapidity with which ell°
played it. In the second part, Bottesini again raised
pet foot furore by his " Carnaval de Venise." Mr L3117!9
Thomas sang " Qai sdegno," from the " Z tuberflote,,
with a eara that Mozirt would have praised. Tho operatic)
selecti )n from Meyerbeer's " Etoile du Nord" brought
out the wonders of Levy's cornet, Pratten's flute, Hughes ,
ophicleide, Laz trusts clarionet, and Winterbottom's troll*
boxe ; and the grand triumphal march from " Judas 1116e'
eabeus," with the assistance of the magnificent band of the
Coldstreams and Grenadiers, brought the concert to a bra
liant conclusion.
London, England, 1864-09-30

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.32 i per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
175. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 3-ICtha per cent. dearer iu London than in Paris.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE SHOCKING CONDITION OF OMNIBUS HORSES.—
ANOTHER CASE.—James Turner, driver of omnibus 7,390,
belonging to the London General Omnibus Company, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt by the Reyal Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with working two horses
in an omnibus in a state totally unfit for working.
The horses were brought to the front of the court for the
magistrate's inspection, and it was apparent to everybody
that they were only fit for knackers.
Rutherford, one cf the officers of the Society, proved
seeing defendant driving two horses attached to an omnibus
near the end of the Tottenham-court-road. The defendant
was flogging the poor animals to get them along, the omni-
bus being heavily laden. O❑ asking the defendant why he
flogged the horses, he said if he did not do so they would
stand still in the street.
The officer then described the state of the horses as being
in the most wretched coniition, and said they were both
unfit for work.

Mr Arthur Cherry, the G )vernment veterinary sur-
geon, described the horses as being in a worse state than
those brought in front of the court a few days ago, bnd
stating that they were both lame and old, and quite unfit
for any kind of work.

The defendant said the horses were given him to take
out by an odd man, and if ho had seen their condition he
would not have taken them out.
Rutherford said the defendant had driven the horses
from Paddington to London-bridge, and was on his way
back again with a load when he was taken.
Mr Tyrwhitt said in all these cases there was an " oda
man," who was the cause of the horses being sent out.
The proprietors of the horses were far worse than the
drivers.

Rutherford said that the horses had been whipped till
they bled to make them go; the insides of their thighs
having dry blood on them.
Mr Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 20s, or a month, and
ordered a summons to be taken out against the manager of
the company—stating that he should consider if he should
not icflict imprisonment in the next case.

CLOSING GENERAL MEETING..

-- -
At half-past one o'clock the final general meeting of the
association was held at the Festival Concert-rooms. Lord
BROUGHAM took the chair.
Mr. HASTINGS read the report of the council, which con-
gratulated the association on the interest and value of the
prveedings. It had not been expected that at York so
large an assemblage would take place as in ether cities, but
it was hoped that valuable results would ensue, especially
in reference to the welfare of the rural population. Never-
theless, the number of members, being 1,019, was larger in
proportion than that which attended the meetings of the
association at any other city. The result of the discussions
had been most valuable. Especial allusion was made to tLe
working men's meeting, which had been accepted by the
associltion as a marked success. The report alluded spa.
cifically to each of the departments, particularly to that in
which the question of mental responsibility of criminals,
the sewage of towns, agriculture, and reformatory disci-
pline, had been discussed, as well as to the conference on
internatioal averages. It was stated that Mr Peabody and
Mr Jarvis, of Massachusetts, were honorary members of
the association. The council gave their thanks to the Lord
Mayor and corporation, to the various bodies which had
afforded accommodation to the association, to the dean and
chapter for lighting up the Minster, to the railway com-
panies for the facilities aff‘.)rded to the members for transit,

INTERNATIONAL GENERAL AVERAGE.

Daring the meeting of the association a section, the object
of which was to discuss the subject of international general
average, held its sittings on the 26th, 27th, and 28th inst.,
at the Museum. Sir J. Wilde was in the chair on the 26th,
and Sir F. Kelly on the 27th and 28th. There were present
commissioners appointed by the Governments of Russia and
Belgium, and delegates from various commercial and insur-
aece associations of New York, Boston, France, Holland,
and other continental states ; and from London, Liverpool,
Sunderland, and other towns.
birJ.WILDE in his opening address dwelt on the importance
of the object aimed at by the section. It was most desirable
if practicable that one uniform rule should prevail amongst
maritime countries in a matter in which seafaring men were
continually brought into collison with foreign laws.
A long discussion ensued on the clauses of the draft of a
bill or general code introduced by the committee. The
filth section, which related to voluntary strandings, was
struck out, and a clause was substituted to the effect that
when a ship is intentionally run ashore because she is sink-
ing or driven on shore on rocks, the consequent damage
should not be admitted as general average. It was
resolved that means should be forthwith taken towards
obtaining the sanction of the several legislatures of the
countries represented to the rules here framed, which were
henceforth to be known as " The General Average Rules,
framed at York, in 1864." The co-operation of mercantile
associations and the leading mercantile men in the several
countries was also to be invited.
To-day meetings of the several departments were held
for she purpose of preparing reports of their proceedings,
and subsequently a meeting of the council was held at the
Guildhall.

HAMILTON AND STRATHAVEN.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Friday, at Hamilton ; Mr T. Tennent in the chair.
The report stated that the Act for the amalgamation of
the company with the Caledonian Railway Company re-
ceived the Royal assent on tho 25th of July last, and the
Caledonian Company, in terms of the Act, had taken pos-
session of the railway and works on the Ist of August last.

directors recommended that a dividend for the six months
at the rate of 21 per cent. per annum be paid to the pro-
prietors of preference stock on the 7th October next, leav-
ing a balance of £35.
After some observations by the Rev. Mr RAE on matters
of account, the report was adopted ; the dividend, at the
rate of 21 per cent. per annum on the 5 per cent, preference
shares, was declared payable on the 7th proximo, and the
proceedings terminated.

AYR AND DOUGLAS.

At a meeting of the provi,,:ional committee for carrying
out this projected line, recently held, it was announced that
the Caledonian Railway Company had agreed to take stock
in the undertaking to the amount of £lOO,OOO, and to work
the Hoe, when completed, on moderate terms.
