NEW QUAY AND CORNWALL JUNCTION.

The first ordinary meeting of this company was held on
Friday at St. Austell—Mr E. Willyams occupied the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said it was calculated that something
over £10,500 had been already subscribed, and at the next
meeting of the directors he should propose that a portion of
the road be staked out and a contract invited. With respect
to the prospects of the undertaking he said that between
60,000 and 70,000 tons of chins, china clay, and other ma-
terials were annually carried in carts over the course the
new line would take. It now cost from 2s 64 to 3s a ton to
convey these matters to Aurngullow, the point of junction
with the Cornwall line. When the new line was made they
would be enabled to carry for about Is per ton. He argued
therefore that if they could carry7o,o.o tons yearly at is per
ton the proceeds would be £3,600, and allowing 50 per cent
for working expenses £1,750 would remain for dividend. To
that would have to be added the receipts from passenger
traffic, and also from coal, lime, and timber. The landowners
and merchants were now called upon to complete the capi-
ta. without delay.
The r:inort was adopted, and the proceedings concluded
, with A vote o.! thanks to the chairman.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 24 per mille pm, and
the short exchange on London is 25.30 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 4s
17E. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 3-ICtha per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark
and the short exchanv on London is 13.5 i per £1 stub n. 4.
standard gold at the hnglish Mint price is, therefore, about
3-10ths per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills et
60 days' sight is about 28i per cent., and the premium on
gold is 157 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the

the sake of society, for the cause of justice, and the

Company. The capital account chewed that £495,669 had
been expended, leaving a balance of £1,173.

LOSTWITHIEL AND FOWEY.

The half yearly meeting of this company was held at
Fowey on Saturday—Mr R. T. Head in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said that the balance sheet showed that
£30,000 had been t aised on shares. He advised the share,
holders, as there had been more than half of the subscribed
capital paid up, to authorise the directors to borrow £lO,OOO
upon debentures. One gentleman had promised to take
one half the debentures at once. The directors also asked
for authority to enter into an agreement with the Cornwall
Railway Company to work the Fowey line.
Resolutions authorising the otercise of the borrowing
powers and the agreement were passed, and the proceed-
ings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

EDEN VALLEY EXTENSION.
Meetings have been held during the last few days at
Leyburn, Hawes, &c., with the object of forming a com-
pany to supply railway accommodation to Wensleydale,
Yoredale, &c. The proposed railway is intended to
leave the Leeds Northern lino somewhere near Ripon,
and will accommodate the towns of Mashaw, Middleham,
Leyburn, Askrigg, and Hawes;

GREAT NORTHERN AND WESTERN OF
IRELAND.

Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this company was
held at the offices, Duke-street, Westminkter, the Earl of
Lucan in the chair.
The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The
Sun, was taken as read.
Mr. SIDIES expressed his satisfaction with the success
that had attended the labours of the directors in the recent
session of Parliament, both branches of the Legislature
having acoorded to the company, notwithstanding the op-
position of the Midland Great Western, the right of cross;
ing the Shannon at Athlone, and so securing its indepen-
dence and prosperity. This success was greatly due to the
energetic conduct of the noble chairman, and he trusted the
time was not far remote when the county of Mayo would
acknowledge the way in which the noble earl had promoted
the railway communication of the district.

It was then moved by the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr
BURCHELL, and carried unanimously, that dividends at the
rate of £5 per cent, per annum upon the preference capital,
of £3 17s. 6d. per cent. per annum on the £113,350 ordinary
capital held by the Midland Great Western Railway Com-
pany of Ircland, and £3 per cent. per annum upon the ordi-
nary share capital of the company other than that held by
the Midland Company, he declared, Jess income-tax.
After some discussion resolutions were passed cancelling
5,100 unissued shares of £lO each; authorised to be created
by the company's Acts of 1861 and 1862, and for issuing
in lieu thereof shares representing £51,000, in pursuance of
the provisions of C-e company's Running Powers Act of
1864, and for creating an additional capital of £30,000 under
the company's Capital Powers Act of last•eession.
A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors closed the
proceedings.

LIFE BRANCH..

The progress of the Life Branch, as shown by the New
Business transacted in the last year, is most promising, and
the advances made, year by year, in the amount of New In-
surances effected, sh )w clearly the estimation in which the
Company is held. The following is a statement for the last
five years :
Net Sum Assured on New Policies

after deducting Guarantees. Net Premiums.
1859
1860
1861
1862
1E 63

This rapid growth, amounting to 73 per cent. on the Sum
Assured, and upwards of 80 per cent. on the Premium re-
ceived in the course of five years, may justly be considered as
arger than any which could have been reasonably expected.
The first half of the current year 1864, however, far outstlips
the ratio of increase indicated by the figures ju,t quoted, as
the sum assured for that period of six months only actually
exceeds Half-a-Mil ion sterling.
The rate of Mortality, likewise, still presents highly favour-
able features, and augurs well for the result to be shown by
tne quinquennial investigation, which is to take place when
the present year is concluthd.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EGHAM RACES.

The old historic meadow of Runnymede never, perhaps,
looked gayer than it did yesterday. A bright afternoon had
succeeded to a rather dull morning, and there was a goodly
show of carriages and a large attendance of foot people.
Eglam is generally a great outing for Cockneydom, some
features of which to speak the truth could well be spared.

Card sharpers and pickpockets of every degree flourish here

seemingly unchecked, and one has generally to run the
gauntlet of a very questionable humanity in ihe struggles to
reach a railway carriage, from which the traveller is fortu-
nate if he emerges scathless.

There have been some alterations and improvements since

the last meeting. Mr Marshall has succeeded Mr Verrall
as Clerk of the Course, and a new steward's and weighing
stand, with increased accommodation for the press,jockeys,
&c., has been erected, The sport was very fair, th;,fields
being larger than anticipated. Anti-Macassar reversed hid
Bright on and Lewes running, and won the King John Stakes
with the greatest ease ; and old Caller Ou, of course, carried
off the Queen's Plate, with only Bally Edmond to make the
semblance of a race, at all near her. The others were never
in it. Merry Maid had it all her own way for the Welter
Stakes, and the Betting Stand Plate was curried off by
Balderdash, after a good race with Pelios and Etna:
There was a great want of punctuality in the arrange-
ments, and the way the course was kept was simply dis-
graceful. In the race for the Queen's Plato the crowd barely
cleared a narrow passage for the horses, and if the field had
been larger some accident must have happened. The police
were sadly inefficient for the duties they were called upon
to perform.
Betting on future events was only remarkable for the
rspid fall of the favourite for the Great Ebor, as much as
100 to 3 being laid against East Lancashire during the
afternoon.

WESTMINSTER.

DISGRACEFUL STATEMENT UPON OATH.—Charlotte
Moody was placed at the bar charged with feloniously
assaulting and wounding Margaret Hartwell by striking
her on the head with a jug.

Complainant said that she was in the neighbourhood of
Peter-street, Westminster, last night, when she saw the
prisoner and her brother-in-law quarrelling, and separated
them. In an hour or more after this the prisoner came and
struck her on the head with a jug, and she became sense-
less from the effects of the wound.
Mr Arnold—What made her do this ?
Prosecutrix—l am sure I can't tell at all.
Mr. Arnold—Had you not said or dons something to
provoke her ?
Prosecutrix—Nothing ; I never spoke to her, good or
bad.
Mr Arnold—Then there was no reason whatever for her
doing it r

Prosecutrix—Not the least.
Mr Arnold—Was she sober ?

Prosecutrix—l can't tell.

Police constable Feshlay, 112 B, said that at half past 10
last night he saw a crowd of people in St. Peter-street, and
found the prosecutrix attacking the prisoner. The prisoner
wanted her to go away, but the prosecutor challenged her
to fight. Prisoner refused, and the prosecutrix then went
into a public house and remained a few minutes. When
she came out she rushed upon the prisoner, seized her by
the hair of the head, and began striking her. Witness did
not see prosecutrix receive the blow with the jug, as they
were surrounded before witness got up. Witness had pro-
secutor's wound dressed at the hospital.

Mr Arnold said that prosecutrix had deceived him by the
grossest falsehoods, and he should merely require the pri-
soner to enter into a £5 recognizance to keep the peace.

MARKETS---This Day.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English
wheat—both old and new—were very moderate. The trade,
however, was heavy at the late decline in prices. New red
wheat was quoted at 41s to 44s ; new white. 44s to 475; and
new Talavera, 46s to 52s per cwt.
The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat.
For all descriptions the trade was dull at the recent fall in
the currency.

Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request at about
previous rates.
The aupply of barley on sale was but moderate. The
trade was quiet for all descriptions at about stationary
prices, New English barley, 32s to 36s per qr.

- Malt moved off slowly at about previous quotations.
The supply of oats on sale was large. A fair business
was transacted in most descriptions at about previous rates.
Beans and peas ruled firm at fully late rates.
The flour trade was quiet on firmer terms.

Funeral of the late Mr. Robson.

This ,morning the mortal remains of this well-
known actor were committed to their last resting'
place in the cemetery, at Norwood, being barns t°
the grave amidst the heartfelt regrets of a Urge
number of those with whom for so many year he
had been on the closest terms of professional and
social intercourse.
It was thought that, as far as the proceedings ill
London were concerned, they should be of the most
unostentatious character. Few, therefore, and thoo
only of the most intimate friends of the deceased,
were invited to join the procession, which started
from his residence in Ampthill-square, Hampstead'

road, at half-past eleven o'clock.
It was at Norwood, however, that the most marked
respect was paid to the memory of the deceased.
There, numbers, not only of his own corps diP/o••
matique, but of the profession generally, 135(1
assembled long before the arrival of the funeral

cortege.
The ceremony was deeply impressive, and, after
the body had been lowered into the grave, the
assembled visitors took a last look at the coffin of
their deceased friend, and then gradually dispersed.
Amongst the mourners who proceeded from
Ampthill-square to the ground at Norwood were
Mrs. Robson, sen., the mother of the deceased, Mrs.
Robson, his wife ; Mr. Robson, his son ; Miss Rob'
son, his daughter; with Dr. Brooks, of the West.,
minsterload, and Mr. Snell, of Lincoln's-inn-fields'
his executors.
We understand that the theatre is to be closed
this evening.

THE AUTOGRAPHIC MIRROR has now reached
its thirteenth bi-monthly number ; and, judging
from the variety and interest of this, its latest in-
stalment, it gives promise of a long and flourishing
existence. The current number, in fact is, in its
way, as profoundly interesting as any one out of
the round dozen preceding it. There is in it a letter
(in Russian) from Peter the First, other wise Peter
the Great, the most remarkable of all the Autocrats.
There is a fac-simile from a pencilled note or mem.
(dated April 2, 1864) written by the hand of
the Emperor Napoleon 111, one areparently having
reference to his Majesty's
ies in connection with
his forthcoming
"Life, of Ceciar." There are autos
graphs here also
" Old Abe," otherwise Abraham
Lincoln, P
Statr- resident of the (extremely) U-nited
.4—of his Minister of State, William Henry
6eward—and of his Ambassador to the Court of St.
James's, Charles Francis Adams. Among the rest
of the autographic memorabilia in No. XVIII. are
some from the hands of Lord Raglan (when Fitzroy
Somerset), of Lord Clyde (when Coin Campbell),
of Sainte Beuve and Raoul Rochette, of Klopstoek,
and Lady Hester Stanhope. There are two lightly
sketched profile likenesses of Schiller, showing him
(supposing them to be correct) to have been rather
low-browed and exceedingly lackadaieycal, As the
tail-piece to this excellent number of the Autogra-
Flak Review there is a facsimile of the portrait of a
dog, sketched in pencil by Sir David Wilkie.

THAMES.

ONE O'CLOCK CLOSING.—James Fu'cher, a tall and
powerful man, was brought before Mr Paget charged with
violently assaulting Mr Speck, the landlord of the Three
Mariners public-house, Itopemaker's-fields, Limehouse.
It appeared that shortly before 1 o'clock this morning
the prisoner called at the Three Mariners, and was supplied,
but reluctantly, with a half pint of porter, to which another
customer added a glass of ale. Mr Speck requested the
prisoner to drink his beverage and depart at once, as the law
required him to close his house at one o'clock, and he
wished to obey the law. The prisoner said he did not care
for the law, and swore and raved loudly. He called
Mr Speck by the most vile names, and when the land-
lord attempted to put him out of the house he made a
furious attack upon him, tore his shirt off his back, struck
him on the eye, and knocked him down. Speck was seri-
ously injured, and his trousers were split. Mr. Speck then
got rid of the fellow, and closed his house. The landlord
and his wife were in their bedroom, about to go to bed,
when the prisoner returned, and, to use Mr. Speck's lan-
guage, "assaulted the house." Mrs. Speck looked out of
the window and expostulated with the prisoner, who used
the most filthy language towards her. A constable named
Hackstep, No. 293 K, arrived and took the prisoner into
custody, Mr. Speck added that he wished to observe the
law and close precisely at one o'clock, but unless protected
by the law he could not do so.
Mr Paget—You are quite right; I am glad there is such
prompt obedience to the law.
The evidence of Mr Speck was fully confirmed by Mrs
Susannah Bell, a neighbour.
The prisoner—l have nothing to say.
Mr Paget said there had not been a single case of viola-
tion of the new law in the district since the passing of the
Act of Parliament closing the public houses and refreshment
rooms from Ito 4 o'clock. The assault was a most savage
one, and he sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprison-
ment and hard labour in the House of Correotion.
London, England, 1864-08-17

tise on the subject of corpulence and its attendant
train of maladies, that a fourth (and revised) edition
has been called for by the faculty and the public.
It is this which is now being published. Of the
merits of the work we have already borne testimony,
having done so, moreover, when the practical
results of Dr Harvey's most philosophical system had not
been fairly tested. With this new edition of his work the
learned author has issued a small companion volume, in
which he gives in detail the favourable result of his new
method of treatment in several serious cases of disease,
which are contingent upon embonpoint. Amongst others,
in cases of dyspepsia, bronchitis, asthma, diseases of the
heart, deafness, &c. &c,, all of which proceeded from obesity,
each succumbed under his treatment and directions. Hence,
doubtless, the attention which is now being brought to bear
upon this matter of corpulence, by the faculty and the public,
as the source of many diseases which have hitherto been
attributed to other causes, will induce many stout persons
suffering from the several ills that too much flesh is heir to,
and which have set the ordinary remedies at defiance, to
seek for relief, or cure, under the regimen and hygienic
rules which are laid down so lucidly in the above works by
Dr Harvey.
