BRIGHTON HOTEL.

The ordinary general meeting of this company
was held yesterday at the offices, Cannon•street ;
Mr Smee in the chair.

Mr Lindford, the secretary, read the report,
which stated that great exertions were made to
open the hotel to the public before the Goodwood
races in July last, which had been accomplished,
although only 19 months had elapsed since the
foundation had been laid. The working of the
hotel had given the utmost satisfaction to all those
who had visited it, and the demand for accommo-
dation had been so large that the directors had been
compelled to build an annex and restaurant on their
freehold ground adjoining the hotel, which would
shortly be complete. A sea bathing establishment
had also been erected by a private person at a
coat of £15,600 on ground adjoining the hotel.
The directors were prepared to issue 5,000 addi-
tional shares, authorised at the last annual meets
ing, to pay for the additional buildings.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said the advantages offered by the hotel
were fully equal to that of any hotel or club in
the kingdom. Notwithstanding the size of the
building it had been found insufficient to meet
the demand upon it. The whole cost of the
ground, building, furnishing, and opening had
Leen £170,000, and the business done averaged
between £1,200 and £1,500 per week, irrespective
of the wine business. There was therefore no
doubt that the hotel would be highly remunerative.
The report was adopted. Messrs Smee, Ander-
son, and Jackson, the retiring directors, were re.
elected, and Messrs Dark, Chatteris, and Kent were
re-appointed auditors, and the proceedings con.
eluded with thanks to the chairman.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The supply of beasts here to-day was only moderate,
and in middling condition. Prime Soots sold readily at
full prices. Otherwise the beef trade was inactive, on for-
mer terms. The top quotation was 5s 6d per 81bs. We
were scantily supplied with sheep, which moved off slowly,
at Monday's currency. The best Downs and half-broths
changed hands at 6s per 81bs. There was a fair demand for
calves at full prices, via., from 4s 2s to 65 4d per Blbs. Pigs
supported previous rates, but milch cows were very dull.

LONDON, THURSDAY, DEC. 29, 1864.

The intelligenoe whichis brought to us by the
Han3a, demands to be received with extreme

clution.

It
ja generally advisable to read the
Northern accounts of their victories, cum grand
sails, but there are. several points about the re•
ported capture of Savannah which make the story
more than usually doubtful. It is of course pos-
sible, though improliable, that suERAIANTs troops,
weary and exhausted by a long
i march through a
hostile country, and diminished n numbers by the
casualties of the way, should have captured
a strongly entrenched city like Slvannab,
with a triple line of defenc?s superin-
tended by the first military engineer of his age.
But that this capture should have been effected
in eight hours, and that 11,000 men should have
been taken prisoners with the city, is certainly in-
credible. Eleven thousand men, efficiently led and
organised, and animated by the spirit which fires
every Southern breast against the ruthless invaders,
ought to have held a city fortified like Savannah
London, England, 1864-12-29

STATE OF TRADE,

CARDIFF, Dec. 27.—The steam colliery proprietors are
able to keep their works, in the majority of instances, on
full time, but, as is generally the case about Christmas, it
is very difficult to get the men to attend regularly to their
work. Many vessels have to wait more than the usual time
through this irregularity, and it is stated that the colliers
earn hardly any more money than before the rise in wages
in consequence of negecting their work. The export de-
mand continues good, and prices are fairly maintained,
although contracts cannot now be secured at the quotations
which prevailed a few months ago. House qualities com-
mand an average sale, and the home and inland demand is
still considerable, The coke markets are fairly off for
orders, and there is a brisk inquiry for patent fuel, princi-
pally on export account. In the iron trade there is but little
doing, owing to the approach of the quarterly meetings.
The contemplated reduction in wages has had no material
effect upon prices, and the market upon the whole is rather
in favour of buyers. The shipbuilding yards are in active
employ, and the foundries are well engaged.
DUNDEE, 27th.—Few transactions in flax, tow or cedilla
are reported to-day, but holders continue firm in their de-
mands and sales are made at full prices. Jute is also quiet,
and only the better qualities are saleable in quantity at late
rates, common sorts being rather easier to buy. Yarns of
all kinds were in good request to-day, and considerable sales
made, chiefly for forward delivery, at the late currency. For
the season of the year more than the usual extent of orders
are being given out for linens, and .manufacturers of all
classes of goods are largely foresold. Prices are very firm,
with an upward tendency for the various fabrics, and the
linens are wanted both for the home trade and for export.
NOTTINGHAM, 28th.—There has been very little doing in
the lace trade this week; besides business being very dull
the Christmas holidays have interfered with trade gene-
rally. Very few buyers have been in the market, and the
purchases made are very limited. Many of the large houses
are commencing stocktaking, so that no real reaction is ex-
pected until the new year has comraenced. Both cotton and
silk goods are a dull sale. There is little doing in silk
mechlins, but both laces and edgings are very fiat. There
is no material change in hosiery. The amount of business
doing is equal to an average, Yarns are very firm, and
high in price.

Railway and other Companies.

WATFORD AND RICKMANSWORTH.

The adjourned half-yearly meeting of this com-
pany was held yesterday at the office, Bedford•
street, Strand ; Lord Ebury in the chair.
Mr A. FORBES, the secretary, read the report,
which stated that the adjournment of the meeting
from August last to the present date had enabled
the directors to make such preliminary arrange.
ments as would, they hoped, release the Watford
and Rickmansworth Railway from the financial
and other difficulties in which it had been placed
since the opening of the line. These arrangements,
the directors trusted, would be fully carried out by
March next, when they proposed to hold the next
half-yearly meeting, and submit a full statement of
the company's affairs. They now proposed to ask
the sanction of the proprietors to raising additional
share capital of £30,000 on 5 per cent. preference
shares, chiefly to meet liabilities of the company
and costs of construction.

Mr BARNES said it was the first meeting of the
company he had attended, and expressed the disaps
pointmant he felt at the state of the company's

affairs.

The CHAIRMAN explained the difficulties with
which the directors had had to contend in so far
carrying out the undertaking, but he trusted that
the future would be more satisfactory. The thin*
tors had advanced large sums to carry on the works,
so that the London and North Western might work
and maintain the line for 50 per cent. of the re-
ceipts. He concluded by moving the adoption of
the report, which was seconded by Mr. Carey and
carried ; the directors were authorised to issue the
new capital in 5 per cent. preference shares to the
amount of £30,000 ; and the retiring directors, Mr.
Carey and the Hon. Mr. Cape], were re-elected.
On the motion of Mr. Barnes, a vote of thanks to
the chairman concluded the proceedings.

A erona letter, in

on the Lake of Gaarda and its banks. Every night small
armed vessels with customs' officers and soldiers on board
are continually in movement ; a gunboat cruises nightly
between Riva and San Vigilio, and another between the
latter town and Peschiera. At Riva and Peachiera steam-
boats are always ready to start at a moment's notice. Any
descent of armed bands would be therefore hardly prat..
ticable.

Disturbances at Bhootan,

INDIA OFFICE, Deo. 28.
The following telegram has been receiveu from
India :

" CALCUTTA, Deo. 12.—Fortress of D alimkotn,
Bhootan, captured with slight loss of two officers
and 50 men. Position described as very strong.
An accidental explosion of powder caused the death
of three officers and seven men."

SHOOTING A WIFE AT PRESTEIGN.—It will be
remembered that in October last a deserter from
one of her Majesty's regiments, named Morris, shot his wife
at a place called Kinsham, near Presteign, the charge of
the gun tearing away the scalp and part of the skull, and so
injuring the woman that death was for some days expected
to result therefrom. Singular to relate, although the brain
was disturbed the woman recovered. The husband at once
decamped, and all efforts to capture him till yesterday had
proved unavailing. It seems that Morris had carried the
gun about with him, determined to shoot any ono who
should attempt his apprehension. For some time past it
was thought he had returned to the vicinity of his home,
and accordingly Superintendent Massey, of Presteign, took
means to ascertain if this was a fact; A watch was set, and
last night it was ascertained that a person answering the
description of Morris had been seen to go in the direction
of the cottage where his e ite lived. A cordon of police
were summoned, the house was surrounded, and Morris
captured. He was convoyed to Presteign gaol and locked
up in one of the cells, previous to taking him before the
magistrates for examination. The officers had only left the
cell a short time when they heard a peculiar noise proceed.
ing from it, and on going thither found the prisoner had
tied the one end of his neckcloth tightly round his neck
and the other round the grating, and had nearly succeeded
in strangling himself. He was immediately cut down and
medical aid summoned. Life was found to be nearly ex.
tinct, and the pr;sonar is not considered out of danger.
DEATH OF GENERAL SHERMAN'S CHILD.—

THE ST. ALBAN'S RAID.

The acquittal of the St. Alban's raiders by the
Canadian authorities has created a strong feeling of
indignation throughout the North.
On the 14th inst. General Dix issued the follows
ing general order :
Headquarters, Department of the East,
New York City, Dec. 14.
GENERAL ORDERS, NO. 97.
Information having been received at these headquarters
that the rebel marauders who were guilty of murder and
robbery at St. Alban's have been discharged from arrest,
and that other enterprises are actually in preparation in
Canada, tho Commanding. General deems it duo to the
people of the frontier towns to adopt the most prompt and
efficient measures for the security of their lives and pro-
perty. All military commanders on the frontiers are there-
fore instructed, in case further acts of depredation and
murder are attempted, whether by marauders or persons
acting , under commissions from the rebel authorities at
Richmond, to shoot down the perpetrators, if possible, while
in the commission of their crimes ; or if it be necessary with
a view to their capture to cross the boundary between the
United States and Canada, said commanders are hereby
directed to pursue them wherever they may take refuge,
and if captured they are under no circumstances to be sur-
rendered, but aro to be sent to these headquarters for trial
sad punishment by martial law.

The major general commanding the dopartraont will not

The Attorney Genera!, it is understood, advised
the issue of new warrants on the same night by the
judge of the Superior Court of Alontrea! 14 the
re-arrest of the raiders, some of whom have gone
east to Halifax, and some west. Officers are on
their track, and it is believed they cannot escape if
they remain in Canada.
The Canadian Government has no legal right to
act directly, as the courts have independent juris.
diction. If the judges refuse to do their duty or
act corruptly they may be suspended or dismissed.

Another Cabinet Connell was held at Quebec on
the 16th, at which the subject of rebel raids across
the border was again under consideration. Parlia-
ment has been summoned to meet on the 19th
January, when laws will be passed to meet the
urgency of the great change of public feeling
towards the Confederates, since they have shown
an intention of embroiling the two countries in
war. Stipendiary magistrates have been appointed
on the frontier especially to take cJgnigance of
bteachea,oLitieinteretional laws they ate to
be aided by a strong police force.
The Herald says:—
" The preparations for prompt and firm military pro•
ceedings in the future being now made by the authorities in
the Northern border States, and the indignation at the
liberation of the St. Alban's land pirates manifested by our
people, have caused a great reaction in Canada; it is said
against the rebel raiders generally. The railroad men there
are alarmed, and fear that non-intercourse on the part of
the Americans will be the result. A private despatch, re.
ceived in this city yesterday from Montreal, states that the
amount of money stolen from the St. Alban's banks is to
be restored to them immediately."

STATE OF TRADE,

CARDIFF, Dec. 27.—The steam colliery proprietors are
able to keep their works, in the majority of instances, on
full time, but, as is generally the case about Christmas, it
is very difficult to get the men to attend regularly to their
work. Many vessels have to wait more than the usual time
through this irregularity, and it is stated that the colliers
earn hardly any more money than before the rise in wages
in consequence of negecting their work. The export de-
mand continues good, and prices are fairly maintained,
although contracts cannot now be secured at the quotations
which prevailed a few months ago. House qualities com-
mand an average sale, and the home and inland demand is
still considerable, The coke markets are fairly off for
orders, and there is a brisk inquiry for patent fuel, princi-
pally on export account. In the iron trade there is but little
doing, owing to the approach of the quarterly meetings.
The contemplated reduction in wages has had ro material
effect upon prices, and the market upon the whole is rather
in favour of buyers. The shipbuilding yards are in active
employ, and the foundries are well engaged.
DUNDEE, 27th.—Few transactions in flax, tow or codilla
are reported to-days but holders continue firm in their de-
mands and sales are made at full prices. Jute is also quiet,
and only the better qualities are saleable in quantity at late
rates, common sorts being rather easier to buy. Yarns of
all kinds were in good request to-day, and considerable sales
made, chiefly for forward delivery, at the late currency. For
the season of the year more than the usual extent of orders
are being given out for linens, and manufacturers of all
classes of goods are largely foresold. Prices are very firm,
with an upward tendency for the various fabrics, and the
linens are wanted both for the home trade and for export.
NOTTINGHAM, 28th.—There has been very little doing in
the lace trade this week; besides business being very dull
the Christmas holidays have interfered with trade gene-
rally. -Very few buyers have been in the market, and the
purchases made are very limited. Many cf the largo houses
are commencing stocktaking, so that no real reaction is ex-
pected until the new year has commenced. Both cotton and
silk goods are a dull sale. There is little doing in silk
mechlins, but both laces and edgings aro very fiat. There
is no material change in hosiery. The amount of business
doing is equal to an average, Yarns are very firm, and
high in price.
London, England, 1864-03-30

Death of Her Royal Highness the Land.

gravine of Hesse.

A telegram was received on Monuay afternoon by their
Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, au'
nouncing the death, at half-past 9 that morning, of her
Royal Highness the Landgravine of Hesse. The late Land'
gravine, Princess Louisa Charlotte, who was aunt of the
late ng of Denmark, was born Oct. 30, 1789, and married,
Nov. 10,1810, William, Landgrave of Hesse. Her roll
highness was daughter of his Royal Highness Frederick,
Prince Hereditary of Denmark, and sister of the late Sin;
Christian VIII. of Denmark, and aunt of the late sing
Frederick VII. Her late royal highness was mother of the
Princess Marie, married to Prince Frederick of Anhau3
Dessau—of Princess Louise (now Queen of Denmark)—of
Prince Frederick William George, married to her Royal
Highness Anne, a daughter of his Royal Highness Prince
Charles of Prussia—and of Princess Augusta, married to
Charles Frederick, Baron Blixen-Fineke, Hereditary
Seigneur of Dalland.

As will be seen from the above, the Princess of Wales and
several members of the royal houses of Germany will be
placed in mourning for a time by the death of her royal
highness.
