THE EXPORT COAL TRADE.--The past month has
been an unfortunate one for the export coal trade. The
expi.)rts have fallen off to the extent of 52,752, as compared
with the corresponding month of 1863. The northern ports
show a decrease of 26,195 tons for the mouth, the Yorkshire
ports 5,170 tons, Liverpool 133 tons, and the Severn ports
36,087 tons. The Scotch ports show an increase of 14,833
tons. The total exports for the month amounted to 684,386.
The total exports for the past seven months of the present
year amount to 4,479,227 tons, being an increase of 256,129
tons.

A WHITE HOUSE ANECDOTE.--Setchell, the
comedian, says he was present at the White Rouse the
other day when the following
was perpetrated :—An old
farmer from the West, who knew President Lincoln in days
by-gone, called to pay his respects at the presidential man-
sion Slapping the chief magistrate upon the back, he
exclaimed, " Well, old hoss how are You F" Old Abe,
being thoroughly democratic in his idea, and withal relish-
ing a joke, responded :—" So I'm an old hoss, am I ? What
kind of a hoss, to be sure ?" ~Why an old draft hoss, to
be sure," was the rejoinder.—. Boston Transcript.

Confederate cruiser Georgia had been captured.
nth
s
and after lying in the river several days, entered
the Birkenhead Docks, where she underwent a
thorough overhaul, after which she Was put up for
sale by public auction, an 1 Mr. Edward Bates, the
well known Liverpool and East India merchant,
became the purchaser. There, however, still
remained a mystery abort the future movements of
this vessel, as she was generally considered
to be anything but a merchant vessel, her very
build, 8.7 e., being against her. Yet, notwithstanding
all the current rumours, the owner of the Georgia
stanchly maintained that the vessel was a bona fide
merchantman. Matters went on until about three
weeks ago, when the Federal war steamer Niagara
entered the Mersey, when the destination of the
Georgia (which was then loading in the Queen's
Dock) was again the subject of conversation. On
the morning that the Niagara left Liverpool the
Georgia was just leaving dock when the Federal
vessel passed down the river, when all at once the
" cruiser" hauled hack, end did not leave the river
until two days after the Niagara had sailed. The
Georgia sailed on the Bth of August for Lisbon
and the West Coast of Africa, with a very valuable
cargo under the command of Captain Withycombe,
a well-known blockade runner. On the 15th, when
off Berlingos Point, 12 or 15 miles north of Lisbon,
she was captured by the Niagara. The crew of the
Georgia were transferred to the Niagara, and a fresh
crew put on board ; and the vessel was headed for
New York, while the Niagara steered for Dover,
where she landed 35 of the crew—the other 20, we
understand, joining the Niagara, under the plea
that they were not British subjects. It is believed
here that the seizure is a legal one, and that pre-
vious, to the sale of the Georgia the Uovernment
had warned the public against purchasing any ves-
sel which was alleged to be or have been owned by
the Confederate Government.

A STRANGE STORY.—The Giornale di Napoli
relates the following incomprehensible incident as
having just occurred in that city :—Thc Princess de Tevra,
Mdlle. d'Avalos, and M. di Quarto, the betrothed of that
young lady, were walking in the Gardens of the Vasto Pa-
lace, when they were met by M. d'Avalos, uncle of the
future bride. That gentlemen,. who is greatly opposed to
the intended union, giving way to a sudden fit of anger, set
a bull-dog by which he was followed on M. di Quarto. The
animal, however, instead of attacking M. di Quarto, ap-
proached the Princess and frisked around her as if to solicit
a caress. M. d'Avalos, rendered more fusions at this failure,
struck M. di Quarto in the face with a riding whip. The
letter then drew a pistol from his pocket and fired at M.
d'Avalos, wounding him severely in the side, while a lady
who was present, a very intimate friend of M. d'Avalos,
fired a pistol at M. di Quarto. The Princess de Tevra and
Mdlle. d'Avalos had in the meantime fainted away. The
Dike d'Avalos, the father of the young lady, then appeared
at a window of the palace louking on the gardens, and en-
deavoured to calm the opponents, begging his brother to
moderate his anger ; but the latter, now more enraged than
aver, took up a double-barrelled gun and discharged it at
the Duke, who was struck in the face by the contents of
one barrel and fell bathed in blood. The police then arrived,
~nd having ascertained the facts of the incident, arrested
d'Avalos, and ordered M. di Quarto to accompany them
zo the station. The puke is confined to bed from his
wounds, and the Princess, who is in an interesting situa•
fiOlh is l sly tQ havtr a Miscarriap?

THE CAPE MAIL.

PLYMOUTH, Auc. 25.

The Cape mail steamship Athens arrived here
this morning. She left the Cape on ae 21st,
Helena 30th, and Ascension on the 3d. The Athens
brings 72 passengers, including the Hon. Mr Raw.
son, the late Colonial Secretary, who has been ap-
pointed Governor of the Bahamas, Colonels J. G.
Rawstorne and Ker, Mrs, Stoltz, and seven children
of the Moravian mission.
Parliament was still in session. The vhole of
the Government texing bills had passed, together
with a bill to provide fur the formation of a sinking
fund. Business continued dull, and money was
seeking for investments. There was every prospect
of a good harvest, the extent of land brought under
cu)tivation exceeding the average of the previous
London, England, 1864-08-25

The Herring Fishing.

ANSTRIITHF,R, August 23.—Though the fishing
here this morning is net quite BO heavy as on &dun.
day, it is yet good, there being an average to 250
boats of about 7 or 8 crans—giving a total of about
1800 erans. The quality is middling, their being a
large mixture of small fish. A great number of
stranger boats are now coming here from all parts of
the Firth. The general price to-day is 168. per
cran. A few boats that had spent fish sold for 16s.
At this date the fishing is about 3,000 crans above
last year, and about equal to the average of the last
seven years.

PTTTENWEEM, August 23.—The fishing here this
morning was very irregular, a good many boats
having takes of from 10 to 20 crans, while a great
part of them (and principally the stranger boats)
came in almost clean. The quality of the fish is
very inferior. Prices still continuo high : current
price to-day, 18s. 6d. per cran.
DUNBAR, August 23.—0n1y two boats wont out
for the Monday's fishing and returned nearly clean.
The fishermen were beginning to be of opinion that
the northerly wind and the heavy swell had driven
or would drive the fish into quieter quarters. How-
ever this morning all the boats came in with quan-
tiies from a basket up to four barrels of splendid
fish, not one spent herring being visible over the
whole catch. They were quickly bought up for
the fre.sh markets at 28s. to 30s. per cran. At these
prices there is no curing. The whole have ag,.tin
been taken to the east.

FALKLAND.—The labours of the harvest are
closely attended to here, and all along the Howe
of Fife stooks stud the landscape. Mr Russell,

GAROTTERS FLOGGED.—On Monday last the first
part of the sentence passed on several garotters by
the Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, at the late Liverpool
assizes, was carried out in Kirkdale Gaol, where they are
at present confined. before being consigned to penal servi-
tude. Their names are Christopher Sharpies, Jas. Smith,
and Wm. Courtney. Sharples and Smith were associated
with three other men in the committal of a robbery with
violence, on the night of the 9th of June. The prisoner
Courtney was concerned in a robbery committed upon a
labouring man, named George Cooper, of Warrington, on
the night of the 27th July. As ho was walking along
Nash-street, Liverpool, he was seized by the throat by some
person who was behind him, and Courtney, who ryas in
front, struck him several blows in the face, In sentencing
these prisoners, the Lord Chief Justice expressed his belief
that the iefliction of the lash would prove the most effica-
cious punishment for men of their character, who went
about committing garotte robberies, careless of what vio-
lence or injury they might itafi tot upon those whom they
attacked, and his lordship said that no mercy should be
shown to men of their description. He ordered Sharpies
and Smith to receive 25 lashes of the cat-o'-nine-tails on
their bare backs, and Ccurtney 12 lashes. His lordship,
however, subsequently modified the sentence in the case of
Smith to 18 lashes. Monday was the date fixed by the judge
for this part of the sentence to be carried out, and it was
performed in the usual manner in the gaol at Kirkdale.
The ”risoners Sharpies and Smith were under sentence of
penal servitude, the former for 15 and the latter for 12 years,
and Courtney for six years.
SINGULAR CAPTURE.—On Tuesday last, as a
party of anglers were engaged in perch fishing on Yetholm
Loch, one of the party hooked a fine perch, when ineme •
diately a pike weighing upwards of 101bs, snapped at the
perch, and kept its hold until it WEIS Ist:idea on terra firma.

STATE OP TRADE,

CARDIFF, Aug. 24.—During the month of July there
were 283 vessels engaged in the foreign trade of ,
and 105,830 tons of coal were exported against 1.35,704 pons
in ports
in the corresponding month, and 113,018
tons in the pre-
vious month, The shipments coastwise reached 70,722
tons, as compared with 82,608 tons in June. This large de-
crease in both the foreign and coastwise coal trade is attri-
buted mainly to the scarcity of tonnage, and at the com-
mencement of the month there was also a slixlit dulness
evinced in the demand. Of iron 14,123 tons were exported,
being a decrease of 1,540 tons as compared with the pre-
vious month. Out of this Now York took no less than 4,567
tons, which shows that the American demand is still large.
The armistice was also taken advantage of to send nearly
2,000 tons of railway iron to Altona.
NOTTINGHAM, 24th.—The lace trade 13 still -very quiet,
and very little business has been done during the past few
days, all branches of cotton goads being a dv.ll sale. i In the
silk branches there is no improvement—mec hlins and quilt-
ings are not in request, while the demand for black laces
continues without much alteration. The lr ayers who come
into the market purchase slowly, and raa nufactursrs only
finish what is ordered. The hosiery trade remains dull.
The shipping trade is quiet, and there is no improvement in
the demand for the home market. Yarns are realising
scarcely so much money as last week,

show a deereas 3 of 26,195 tons for the month, the Yorkshire
ports 5,170 tons, Liverpool 133 tons, and the Severn ports
36,087 tons. The Scotch ports show an increase or 14,533
tons. The total exports for the month amounted to 684,386.
The total exports for the past seven months of the present
year amount to 4,479,227 tons, being an increase of 2;6,129

UNIVERSAL PRIVATE TELEGRAPH.

A special general meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at their offices, Adelaide-street, Strand.
The notice convening the meeting stated that after the
payment of the dividend there would remain a balance of
£2,373 to the credit of revenue, beingi£32l more than the
balance carried forward from last March. Mr J. Mellor,
the chairman, presided.
The CHAIRMAN said the directors had thought it their
duty to call the shareholders together for the purpose of re-
commending them to declare an interim dividend at the rate
of 6 per cent. per annum. The directcrs could recommend
it with confidence, and that would show the shareholders
that there had been considerable energy exercised in the
management of their affairs, which gave promise for an in-
creased dividend in future. There was another question for
the meeting to consider, and that was the honorarium to the
directors. He then moved a resolution authorising the de-
claration of a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum.

Mr F. C. GAIJSSEN seconded the motion, and it was car-
ried unanimously.
Mr MACKENZIE then moved that the honorarium to the
directors be fixed at £6OO per annum, and, on the sugges-
tion of a shareholder, added that the expenses of the country
directors in coming up to attend the meeings be also paid.
He considered that as they had had the directors' services
for 001E3 years without remuneration that they should now
pay them from the commencement.
The CHAIRMAN said they would take it only for the pre-
sent year. _ _

Mr MACKENZIE said he would then confine his motion to
the past year. He considered that the use of private tele-
graphs would be like the use of gas, when once adopted
they could not be done without.
Mr REID seconded the motion, an,' after some discussion
it war carried unanimously.

His Honour said that the fact of the defendant having
rEceived the letters was nothing tt all, and he ought to
allow his father to come to the house, and also receive letters
for him, but that would not warrant thu Court in altering
the summons. Plaintiff had sued the wrong man, and the
Court could not alEer the Christiat name if even William
Ray was present.

POLICE
_INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

WESTMINSrER.

TIMEATENINO TO MURDER.—names Williams, a power-
ful athletic man, was brought up on a warrant, charged
with threatening to murder James Pickett, of 23, Market-
street, Westminster, and also hs wife, from which they
both considered themselves in imminent danger.
James Pickett said that the cefendant had occupied a
furnished apartment in his house. On Sunday he used the
most dreadful and violent threats to complainant and his
wife, and they were both very =eh alarmed.
Mr Arnold—What made him threaten your wife ?
Complainant—He has made inproper proposals to her,
and it is because she will not corsent to them.

Mr Arnold—And why does he threaten yon ?
Complainant—He wants to get me out of the way that he
may havefmy wife, I suppose.
Sarah Picket, the wife, said that on Sunday last she was
in her bed-room when defendant threatened to break open
the door and murder her with a knife. He afterwards
threatened her life with an axe, and said he would be hung
at Newgate for her. His threat; were so violent on the fol-
lowing day that she was afraid to be in the house alone.

Defendant said she had left 113 r real husband in Oxford-
shire, and had committed liigarry by coming up to London
and marrying her present husband.
Mr Arnold said that that was no reason why they should
be murdered, or why anybody should put them in great
bodily fear.
Complainant and his wife said that they were lawfully
married, and defendant's charge was unjust.
Defendant was ordered to find bail.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.---This Day,

SHERIFF'S COURT,
(Before S. Joyce, Esq.)

FISHER V. RAY-A SON SUED FOR A FATHER'S DEBT-
SINGULAR CASE.

This was an action to recover damages on the re-sale of
a phaeton.

Mr J. B. Sorrell, of Mark-lane, appeared for the plain-
tiff, and Mr Buchanan, of Basinghall•street, for the de-
fendant.

Mr Sorrell having briefly opened the case, called Mr
Emery, clerk to Mr Stapleton, the auctioneer, who said
that his employer had a Stanhope phaeton for sale last June.
It was sold to the defendant for £l3 13s. No deposit was
paid, as defendant was known and bad had many previous
transactions. Notice was given to the defendant that as
he neglected to clear the goods they would be re-sold, On
July sth application was made by letter to defendant for
the money. The phaeton was re-sold by auction for £9,
Cross-examined—l do not see the defendant in court.
Mr Buchanan—You have su.d the wrong man. Wo
never bought a phaeton of the plaintiff in our life.
Witness—The defendant is a coal merchant.

His Honour—And you have summoned a bookseller and
stationer.

Defendant—l am a bookseller. My father's name is
William and mine is John.

➢lr Sorrell—l will call defendant.

Defendant—l live in the li;ent-road• My father lives at
Belgrave-place, Pimlico. At one tine he lived at the Old
Kent-road. He gave it up six months ago. If anybody
came to the late address he Would be sent for my father
to 176.

Mr Sorrell urged that it would appear that when persons
Came for the father, they would be sent to tho son for in-
formation.

His Honour—But you have got the wrong man.
Defendant—l showed the summons to my father. I tore
up the letters.
➢lr Sorrell urged again that in the interests of the
plaintiff he was entitled to go on with his case, as he was
anxious to learn ho tv far the plaintiff would succeed against
the father.

His Honour said that defendant was entitled to appear,
or if he did not his goods miat hive been taken.
Mr Emery—The father has given us the name of John
Ray. . .

His Honour said that was nothing to defendant, who
could not be bound by it.

Defendant (in answer to Mt Sorrell)—l received some
letters from plaintiff which I tee up.
Mr Buchanan submitted there was no Case against the
defendant.

A witness, for plaintiff—The name over defendant's door
is " Ray and Co."

Mr Sarell—Who is the Company, defendant ?

Defendant—l am.

CHARING-CROSS RAILWAY.

Half-yearly Meeting,---This Day.
The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of
the Charing-cross Railway was held this day at the Lon-
don-bridge Terminus; tames Byng, Esq., in the chair.
The report stated that the receipts and expenditure on
capital account for the half-year ending the 30th June last
Shows the receipts for that period to have been £416,914
12s, 4d., and the expenditure £511,539 12s. 4d.
The receipts have been derived principally from calls and
and pre-payment of calls on the 5 per cent. shares created
and issued in August last, and by the exercise of the com-
pany's borrowing powers under the Act of 1863. The prin-
cipal items of expenditure have been—On account of the
Purchase of property required for the City Terminus in
Canton .street (E 267,334 7s 3d) ; works of the original rail-
Way and the station at Charing-cross (£101,346 35 4d), and
City Terminus works (£54,C00).
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report,
'which, after a short discussion, was carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN then moved that a dividend at the rate
of 2-1 per cent. per annum be declared.
Mr GORDON TnomrsoN seconded the motion, which was
agreed to unanimously.
The meeting was then made special, for the purpose of
confirming an agreement between the Charing-cross Rail-
way Company and the South Eastern Railway Company
blade under the provisions of " The Charing Cross Railway
Act, 1E63," and " The Charing Cross Railway Act, 1864,"
for the amalgamation of the Charing Cross Railway Com-
pany and their undertaking, property and effects, rights,
Powers, privileges and authorities, with the South-Eastern
Railway Company and their undertaking, property and
effects, rights, powers, privileges and authorities.
A. resolution was moved confirming the agreement, but

Mr Fsw objected to the arrangement.
The CHAIRMAN said he considered this amalgamation
'would prove advantageous for both companies, as it was
fair, honest, and just; the terms were an exchange of
shares, Charing-cross for South Easterns.
A poll was ultimately taken, when the resolution was
carried by a large majority.
Mr BEATTIE said he had been instructed by the South
Eastern Company to represent their interests, and in his
discretion, had it been necessary, he should have voted for
the amalgamation, but he abstained from voting at all,
otherwise the majority in favour of the amalgamation
would have been very much larger.
A vote of thanks to the directors terminated the pro-
ceedings.

Extensive Fire at Poplar.—(

'his Day.)

This morning at an early hour, a fire, which, had it not
been so opportunely discovered, might have been attended
with a great loss of life, took place in the premises belong-
ing to Mr P. Franks, a beershop-keeper, carrying on busi-
ness at No. 63, Penny's-fields, Poplar. The discovery was
made by a police-constable of the K division, by seeing
smoke issuing from the lower part of the building. The
officer at once sounded an alarm, and after some time he
succeeded in arousing the inmates, who were happily all
rescued. Ihs engines of the parish, and those cf the Lon-
don Brigade, with one of Shand and Mason's land steamers,
were promptly iu attendance, and plenty of the East Lon-
don Company's water having been procured, the firemen,
under the direction of Mr Bridges, the chief officer of the
A district, went to work in an adizirable manner; but, in
spite of which, the flames:rolled out of every window in the
building. and also through the roof, threatening destruc-
tion to the houses numbered GI and 65, belonging to Mr T.
J. Connell, a tailor, &c. The firemen, however, nothing
daunted, kept to their work, but they were unable to get
the mastery over the conflagration until the building was
all but destroyed—the stock-in-trade, furniture, and other
effects consumed. The origin of the fire is unknown. For-
tunately Mr Franks %yes insured in the London Fire-office,
The premises of Mr Connell were
also damaged by fire,
water, &e. The contents of those buildings were insured
in the Phosnix. Fire-office. A strong body
of police were in
attendance, and rendered essential aid to the firemen by
keeping the populace out of danger.
