DEATH FROM DnurtKENNEss.—lnspector Honey, of
the H division, called the attention of Mr. Paget, the magis-
trate, to the first drunken case of the list, and said he re-
gretted that the prisoner, who was the subject of that
charge, was dead, A poor basket woman was found drunk
in Bow, opposite the Church, at 8 o'clock on Saturday
evening, and was brought to the station-houso by a police-
constable. Sho appeared to be very ill, and ho immediately
sent for the aid of Mr. Garman, a surgeon who was in tho
station in a few minutes. The medical gentleman pre-
scribed for the woman, and she received every possible
attention until 2 o'clock on Sunday morning, when she ex-

pired.
Mr. Paget—This is a very serious matter. Has the poor
woman's death boon caused by destitution?
Inspector Iloney—No, sir, she was not destitute. She
had £5 in money about her, of which £t 10s. was in gold.
There were 18 oranges in a basket, which were brought to
the station house with hcr.
Mr. Paget—What is the cause of death?
Inspector Honey-J rather think it is apoplexy, your
vforship.
Mr. Paget—What is the name of the woman ?
Inspector Iloney--I don't know, your worship. She was
too ill to give her name or address. She is about 65 years
of ago.
Mr. Paget marked the police sheet " reported dead," and
said ieforination must be sent to tho coroner.
Inspector Honey—That has b3en done.

LYNN AND HUNSTANTON.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
Lynn on Friday, Mr. L. Simpson in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said the directors proposed to declare a dividend at the rate
of 5 per cent, per annum, although the traffic of the line
had not yet been fully developed. The result showed that
cheaply constructed lines through agricultural districts, if
economically worked, would be beneficial both to their
promoters and the trunk line with which they were in con-
nection. The goods traffic which had already passed over
the line had exceeded the estimate, and would no doubt con-
siderably increase. The completion of the line now in pro-
gress from Lynn to Sutton would afford fresh facilities for
passenger traffic from Lincolnshire to Hunstanton, and as
soon as additional accommodation for visitors was provided
at that town he was sanguine that the traffic would be con-
siderably increased. The agreement with the Great Eastern
Company was now complete, and the directors were working
upon peeectly friendly terms with that company.
Mr, V.eatliniTE, C.E., stated that ten good houses were
built at Huiastanton last year, and that plans had now been
prepared for 20 others.

The report was adopted and the dividend 'declared ; the
rotiring directors and auditors were re-elected, and £l5O

was voted to the directors,:together with thanks, which were
also extended to the officers of the company.

NEWTOWN AND MACHYNLLETH.
The half-yearly meeting was held on Wednesday, at
Machynlleth ; Mr, R. D. Pryce in the chair.
Mr. D, Howell, the secretary, read the report, which
stated that, under the arrangements with the Oswestry and
Newtown Company, the railway was worked as part of the
Cambrian system, and that the guaranteed dividends might
be declared of 5 per cent. on the preference shares and 41
per neat. on the ordinary shares for the past half-year. The
Bill for amalgamation had been reintroduced this session,
in pursuance with the agreement with the Oswestry and
Newtown. To guard against delay in the completion of
the line from Machynlleth to Aberystwith, the company
were promoting a bill with a view to obviate such a risk, in
accordance with agreements entered into in 1861 with the
Manchester and Milford and the Aberystwith Welsh Coast
Companies. Preference shares under the capital Act of last
year had been disposed of to the amount of £68,550, leaving
123,450 not yet subscribed for.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr.
FOULKES, the report was adopted. Dividends at the rate
of 5 per cent. per annum on the preference and 41 per cent.
per annum on the ordinary capital for the past half-year
were declared. Earl Vane was re-elected a director, and
Mr. Jones was re-elected auditor. The proceedings termi-
nated with thanks to the chaizman and directors.

ON CHLORATE OF POTASSA AND ITS USE IN OXYDISING

THE BLOOD.
111 t. J. P. SARGEANT, M.R.C.S., and L.S.A.
X) 08361, will shortly repeat his Lecture on this subject
at St. James's Hall, Piccadilly-, and will satisfactorily prove
that Chlorate of Potassa, (as prepared by passing chlorine
through a mixture of quick-lime and water, and subsequently
bailing a long time with Chloride of Potassium) is a most
active remedy for oxydising the blood, and restoring vitality
to the low, vitiated state of the nervous system, and is there-
fore calculated to supersede the use of iron, mercury, quinine,
and sarsararilla. - 56, Gower-street, Bedford-square, London.

SOMERSET AND DORSET.

The report states that the last section of the line, from
Temple Combo to Blandford, was opened for public traffic
on the 10th of September. On the 14th of September the
Blandford and Wimborne section was handed over to this
company by the London and Sonth-Western Company, and
the through service between Burnham and Poole com-
menced on that day. The amount of traffic which imme-
diately came on the line was satisfactory, as the earnings
per mile from the opening throughout exceeded those on the
Burnham and Temple Combe section for the corresponding
period of 1862, that section having then been opened nearly
12 months. The revenue account shows a balance of
£3,221, after providing for working expenses, as against
£2,610 for the corresponding half of 1562. The total num-
ber of passengers conveyed during the last half-year was
158,148 ; the total of goods, 37,443 tons ; and of cattle,
14,651 head. The working expenses amount to ls. 6d. per
train mile. The capital account shows a total receipt of
£1,007,949, of which a balance of £16,424 was unexpended
at the 31st of December. The receipts on revenue account
for the half-year were £15,101, and the expenditure
£ll,BBO, leaving a balance of £3,221.

DITNABURCI AND WITEPSK.

The first ordinary meeting of this company was held on
Friday at the London Tavern, Mr. G. J. Goshen, ➢I.P., in
the chair.

The SECRETARY read the report,

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said that all the expe3tations which had been formed at the
starting of this undertaking had up to the present been ful-
filled. The Minister of Public Works in St. Petersburg had
expressed his satisfaction at the progress made with the
works, which had been proceeded with much more rapidly
than he had expected. The directors wishei to insure the
shareholders against the railway costing more than £33 per
share, and they had provided for this by having contracts
for everything. As the land had been purchased for the
amount estimated, and as there was no cause for believing
that the contract of Messrs. Peto and Betts for the execu-
tion of the works would be excaeded, the directors' expec-
tations that the line would be built within the estimate had
every chance of being realised. Everything had gone on
smoothly up to the present time, and all arrangements with
the Russian Government had been exceedingly satisfactory.
Mr. W. MILLER, M.P., seconded the motion, which was
adopted.
On the motion of Mr. CARRITTRERS the directors who
retired were unanimously re-elected, and Mr. J. Coleman
and Mr. A. Symes were appointed auditors.
A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors co: clude,d
the proceedings.

Capital £50,000, in 10,000 Shares of £5 each.
This Company is formed for the purpose of establishing
large Dining Halls and Luncheon Rooms, in which will be
offered Dinners and Refreshments of a first-class character,
at charges adapted to the means of the various sections of the
commercial public. That which Mr. Lang has effected in
Glasgow and M. Duval in Paris, with such marked success,
the Directors seek to accomplish in London, feeling per-
suaded, as the " Times" remarks, that, " No speculation can
be safer than that based on supplying the want of a good meal
at the lowest price."
AlthouCh the London Restaurant Company will offer ac-
commodation of a kind that has not hitherto been attempted,
yet from the markets in which it proposes to buy, and the
various sources of revenue that will be opened up, it is felt
that this undertaken; presents elements of success far greater
than any of the joint-stock hotel companies, although some
of these have realised very large dividends.

The report states that the last section of the line, from
Temple Combe to Blandford, was opened for public traffic
on the 10th of September. On the 14th of September the
Blandford and Wimborne section was handed over to this
company by the London and Sonth-Western Company, and
the through service between Burnham and Poole com-
menced on that day. The amount of traffic which imme-
diately came on the line was satisfactory, as the earnings
per mile from the opening throughout exceeded those on the
Burnham and Temple Combe section for the corresponding
period of 1362, that section having then been opened nearly
12 months. The revenue account shows a balance of
£3,221, after providing for working expenses, as against
£2,610 for the corresponding half of 1862. .The total num-
ber of passengers conveyed during the last half-year was
158,148 ; the total of goods, 37,443 tons ; and of cattle,
14,651 head. The working expenses amount to is. 6d. per
train mile. The capital account shows a total receipt of
£1,007,049, of which a balance of £16,424 was unexpended
at the Slat of December. The receipts on revenue account
for the half-year were £15,101, and the expenditure
£ll,BBO, leaving a balance of £3,221.

FIVE REISONS FOR NOT GETTING DRUNK.—Charles
Geary, a carman, was ckarged with being drunk and inca-
pable of taking care of a van and horses of which ho had
charge.
Police-constable Samuel Geary (not related to the de-
fendant), 267 A, said that, between six and seven on
Saturday evening, he found the defendant in the King's-
road, Chelsea, with some horses and a van. He was so
intoxicated as to bo perfectly unfit to drive them with
safety to the public. The van was laden with coals, and a
man who appeared to know the defendant came up and
offered to take charge of the team and deliver the coals, but
defendant refused to allow him to do so.
Mr. Selfe—What have you to say to this?
Defendant—Well, I had some drink, and it got the better
of me.
Mr. Selfe—Not an unusual thing if you take too much
of it. You were unable to deliver your coals, and when a
man offered to take them for you, it seems you refused to
let him.
Defendant—l had money on tickets for the coals to be
delivered, and therefore I was afraid to deliver them to any
ono else, as he might have taken the Looney from customers
and stuck to it.
Mr. Selfe—You should have kept sober, and attended to
your business, instead of getting drunk.
Defendant—l only took a drop of drink, and there isn't
much in that.
Mr. Selfo—Yes, there is a great deal in a man getting
drunk who has charge of a carriage of auy kind and horses.
Accidents result from it, children are run over and killed,
woman knocked down and injured. I must hno you.
Defendant—l hope not. I have a wife and five children.
to maintain. Five children are a good deal to keep.
Mr. Selfe—They are five reasons for year not getting
drunk. You aro fined 10s., or seven days. I cannot have
drunken drivers about tho streets.

LYNN AND HUNSTANTON.

The half•yearly meeting of this company was held at
Lynn on Friday, Mr. L. Simpson in the chair.
The CiraiumaN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said the directors proposed to declare a dividend at the rate
of 5 per cent. per annum, although the traffic of the lino
had not yet been fully developed. The result showed that
cheaply constructed lines through agricultural districts, if
economically worked, would be beneficial both to their
promoters and the trunk line with which they wore in con-
nection. The goods traffic which had already passed over
the line had exceeded the estimate, and would no doubt con-
siderably increase. The completion of the line now in pro-
gress from Lynn to Sutton would afford fresh facilities for
passenger traffic from Lincolnshire to Hunstanton, and as
soon as additional accommodation for visitors was provided
at that town he was sanguine that the traffic would be con-
siderably increased. The agreement with the Great Eastern
Company was now complete, and the directors were working
upon perfectly friendly terms with that company.
Mr, VALENTINE, C.E., stated that ten good houses were
built at Hunstanton last year, and that plans had now been
prepared for 20 others.
The report was adopted and the dividend declared ; the
retiring directors and auditors were re-elected, and £l5O

METROPOLITAN CATTLE

Fur the time of year, a full average supply of foreign
stock was on off :r in to-by's market, but its general
quality was very middling. Sales, consequently, piogressed
slowly at about stationary prices.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up were rather limited. The supply from Scotland
was good, from Ireland inferior. Generally speaking, the
beef trade was slow; nevertheless, Thursday's currency
was well supported. The top figure for beef was ss, bat
only prime Scots and crosses realised 5s 2d per Slbs. The
arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire
amounted to 1,800 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses ; from
other parts of England, 500 various breeds ; from Scotland,
310 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 100 oxen and
heifers.
The show of sheep was again very moderate, but the
quality of most breeds was good. Prime small Downs and
half-breds msved off steadily at 65, in some instances a
6s 2d per Bibs. Heavy sheep were a slow sale at late rates.
Clipped breeds were dull. Downs out of the wool changed
hands at 55 per 81bs.
Lambs were in fair request at from 65 8d to 75 per 81bs.
The supply of calves was very moderate, and the veal
trade ruled firm at very full prices, viz., fain its 2d to Ss 2d

GAROTTERS FLAGGED.—On Monday last the first
part of the ',antenna passed on several garotters by
the 1.0r.e Chief Justice Cockburn, at the late Liverpool
asel'ea) wass carried out in Kirkdale Gaol, where they are
a!'Y present confined. before being consigned to penal Beryl-
tube. Their names are Christopher Sharpies, Jas. Smith,
and Wm. Courtney. Sharpies 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 he was walking along
Nash-street, Liverpool, he was seized by the throat by some
person who was behind him, and Courtney, who Ass in
front, struck him several blows in the face, In sentencing
these prisoners, the Lord Chia Justice expressed his belief
that the indiction 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 inflict 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 Courtney 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 prisoners 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 Yethoim
Loch, ono of the party hooked a fine perch, When imme•
diately a pike weighing upwards of 101bs, snapped at the
perch, and kept its hold uutil it was lauded on terra firma.

Harvest work has commenced in earnest in the county

the same as last Saturday. We had a large arrival of oats
(Scotch), and a lair business was done at the quotations of
last week.
