MiD-WALES.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yester-
day at the offices, Bridge-street, Westminster—Mr. G. H
Whalley in the chair.

The report stated that great progress had been made with
the works since the last half-yearly meeting. The line from
Llanidloes to Rhayader would be completed and ready for
public traffic in July next. All the preparations for the
speedy completion of the line between Rhayader and the
junction with the Brecon and Merthyr line had been made,
and would be vigorously proceeded with. Nearly the NI, hole
of the land required for the railway had been obtained.
Arrangements had been completed with the Brecon and
Merthyr Railway Company, under which the exchange of
running powers had been made with both companies. Two
bills were before Parliament, one for the purpose of raising
the additional capital required to carry out the contract
with Messrs. J. Watson end Co., and the other for the pur-
pose of making a branch to the Manchester and Milford, at
Llangurig, and to carry out the arrangement made with the
Brecon and Merthyr Company.

The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, and
stated that the cost of the line per mile would not exceed
that of the Oswestry and Newtown line, which was paying
51 per cent., and as it would traverse a country three times
as populous, there could be no doubt of the line being remu-
nerative.

Capt. JOHNS seconded the motion, which was unani
mously agreed to.
The outgoing directors and auditors were re-elected, and
the proceedings closed in the usual manner.

A NOCTURNAL VlSlT.—Edward Cannon, of 3, Hyde-
street, Bloomsbury, auctioneer, and Jane Moreton, of 27,
Sussex-street, Pimlico, a young woman, who described
herself as an upholstress, were charged with being drunk
and assaulting the police.
Edward Manton, 124 B, said that at two o'clock this
morning he heard a disturbance, and saw the defendants
and another female all fighting together in Susses-street,
Pimlico. He told them to be quiet and go away, and they
went. Shortly afterwards he heard cries of " Murder" at
27, Sussex-street, and rang the bell of the house, when the
door was opened, and the servant said " Here is a police-
man." The male defendant at that moment rushed out of
the house and struck complainant on the breast such a
heavy a blow with his fist that it knocked him doctn and he
hurt his back. Male defendant, when he got up, struck at
him again, and was very violent. The female knocked com-
plainant's hat off.
It was stated that complaints of the " gay" proceedings
going on at 27, Sussex-street, had been made by the neigh-
bours. _ _

_____
John Doran, 94 B, said he was in Westmoreland-street,
and was attracted by a noise, and on going to 27, Sussex-

street, found the male defendant trying to throw Manton.
The woman tried to knock his hat off, and gave witness a
smack on the mouth, declaring "They should not take her
Teddy."
Mr. Cannon said he was having his supper when the
policeman rung the bell and endeavoured in the most un-
ceremonious way to force himself into the house. Defen-
dant endeavoured to shut the door, and thinking the police-
man's interference very unwarrantable, certainly pushed

him away.
Defendant admitted he had been drinking freely,

The female denied the assault.
Mr. Ingham observed that when cries of " murder "
issued from a house, it was the duty of the police imme-
diately to be on the alert and see what was the matter, as
during a delay murder might be committed. The constable
had gone to the house in this case essentially for the pur.
poses of justice. Cannon must pay £3 or be imprisoned a
month, and Moreton 10s. or seven days.

SMALL MADE PARCELS TO HONG KONG.

Colonel SYKES asked the Secretary to the Treasury on
what grounds British manufacturers and others were pro-
hibited from transmitting to India and Hong Kong speci-
mens of textile fabrics of British manufacture under the
book post restrictions, as they were permitted to transmit
them to France and elsewhere ?
Mr. F. PEEL replied that, with the single exception of
France, the principle adverted to did not prevail. That
arrangement was made in 1861. The Post-office did not
carry parcels containing specimens of textile fabrics or trade
parcels elsewhere to other countries, which he attributed to
there being considerable difficulties in the way.

tive assurance as to the period when the Government
would be able to introduce a general measure.

GREAT WESTERN AND BRENTFORD.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was hold yes-
terday at the offices, Great George-street, Westmindter ;
Mr. P. Davey in the chair.
The report stated that the tonnage on which the specified
rates of tolls had been charged exhibited an increase in each
description of traffic compared with the corresponding
period of last year, but the actual amount of toting° due to
the company under the terms of the Leasing Act had not
yet been definitively ascertained. Debenture bonds origi-
ginally bearing 5 per cent. interest had been replaced by
others at 41 and 41 per cent., and as others fell due the
directors expected to be able to deal with them in the same
manner. The balance of revenue account was sufficientfor
the payment of a dividend of 5 per cent, upon the preference
shares and 2 per cent per annum on the ordinary shares,
leaving a balance of £lOO.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report.
Mr. H. G. DAY seconded the motion.

Mr. DARVILL expressed his disappointment at the small•
ness of the dividend. He recommended that the capital ac.
count be closed without delay.
The CHAIRMAN said there were only two items outstand
ing, and, as soon as they could be arranged, the capital ac.
count should be closed.

The report was then unanimously adopted.
Dividends were declared in accordance with thejrecom-
mendations of the report ; the retiring directors and auditor
were re-elected, and the proceedings terminated with the
usual compliment to the chairman and the board.

E XTRAORDINAILY PERAECUTION.—John Fry, a labour-
ing man, abcut 30 years of age, was brought before Mr.
Selfe, charged with assaulting and threatening Mr. Henry
Hughes, a foreman in Alessrs.Wigrana's shipbuilding yard,
at Blackwall.

The complainant said he had been for a long time per-
secuted by the prisoner, and that his life was in danger.
The prisoner was sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment and
hard labour fur an assault upon him a few weeks since.
Since then the prisoner had used threats of a most diaboli-
cal nature, and constantly waylaid him. Yesterday after-
noon he was talking to a friend in a street in Poplar, when
the prisoner came behind him, made a craA at him, and
knocked him into the middle of the road. His thumb was
nearly forced out of the socket, and he was in great pain.
The prisoner said he was a returned convict, and that
since his sentence of transportation or penal servitude ex-
pired, he worked two years for Messrs. Wigram, until the
prosecutor informed his masters that he was a returned con-
vict, and they discharged him. He afterwards obtained
employment as a scraperman in another ship-yard last
Saturday, and Mr. Hughes again gave information:against
him, and he was discharged. He thought it very hard
indeed that, having expiated h4s crime by a long and severe
sentence, that he should be prevented from obtaining his
living by his own industry.
Mr. Selfe—No one, I hope, will interfere with you in
your honest endeavours to obtain a living by your own
industry. Now, did you get him discharged from two
places, Hughes ?
Hughes—No, I did not, Sir. Four separate times he has
assaulted me. He waylays me wherever I go.
A police constable—Here is a warrant for the apprehen-
sion of the prisoner for threatening Mr. Hughes.
The prisoner—He gave information to Mr. Wigram.
Mr. Selfe—lt is part of the system, whether wisely or
not.

The prisoner (interrupting)—lt is the case, your wor-
ship. I have not—
Mr. Selk—Hold your tongue. You have interrupted
me half a dozen times. This cannot be permitted. You
have repeatedly threatened Mr. Hughes. I sentence you
to one mon(h, and to find bail to keep the peace for two
months longer.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The supply of beasts here to-day was moderately good,
both as to number and quality. For all breeds the demand
ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations compared with
Monday of 2d. per Blbs. The general top price was 4s 8d
per 81bs. Sheep, the show of which was limited, commanded
full prices, with a fair inquiry. The best Downs, in the
wool, realised 6s per 81bs. We have to report a slow sale for
lambs, at from 7s 4d to 7s 8d per 81bs. There was a fair
demand for calves at fully previous rates—viz., from 4s 4d
to 5s 6d per Blbs. In the value of pigs and milch cows very
little change took place.

employment, and he still felt the deepest interest in
the subject. He had issued 2,000 circulars on the
subject to the various clerks in the City, but having
received only 67 answers, he feared the majority
were opposed to his plan, although not t•o the main
object. He had made certain offers towards open-
ing a school near his residence, but the chief objec-
tion to it was the danger children would encounter
in passing over London-bridge. That objection he
must say he had not thought of at first, although
now it was made he could not think it was a
groundless one. He was so impressed with the
advantage, that if the clerks would take
the matter into their own hands, and start a
subscription to carry out the object he, although
not a wealthy man, and to accomplish which he
should have to make some sacrifices, would start
the list with a sum of £2oo—(loud cheers) ; and
in the event of the success of the proposition, the
first year the schools were open he would give
an additional £3OO towards their support, or £lOO
per annum for three years, according as he thought
most beneficial. (Loud cheers.) This, he thought,
would show that he was earnest and anxious in
the wish, and if his fellow-clerks would only come
forward in a similar spirit, success was certain.
(Cheers.)
Mr. JONES moved a vote of thanks to their
worthy chairman. (Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN, in replying, thanked Mr. Lloyd
for his very useful suggestion relative to the esta-
blishment of a school, and should be ready to assist
him in such an undertaking. (Cheers.) He hoped
he would do him the honour of calling on him some
evening and they could talk the matter over, be
cause of the success of such a project he had not
the slightest doubt, especially when he saw the
results which followed that of the noble school sup-
ported by the licensed victuallers, and that sup-
ported by the community of the Jews.
The proceedings then terminated.

ing a balance of £9,912. The sum of £BOO had been appro-
priated out of revenue towards permanent way renewal ac-
count. The balance, after payment of interest on loans and
preference shares, was £5,228, out of which the directors
recommended a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. per an-
num on the original shares, leaving £1,500 for the contingent
fund and £229 for the next account. The expenditure on
capital account during the half year amounted to £1,150,

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Produce Market—No great change to report.
Import Market.—For the last day or two this market has
shown signs of improvement, but many holders show little
disposition to sell, even at former extreme rates.

Money Market—We have an abundant supply of money,
without much demand.

Exchang--A good business has been done in exchange
for this opportunity, both in credit and documentary bills,
of which the banks have been large buyers.

CHINA.

Our advices from Hong Kong are to January 15.
The English mail of Nov. 26 arrived at Hong
Kong or. Jan. 7.
Ward's successor, Gen. Burgevine, had been dis-
missed from his command. Having had a dispute
with the Chinese authorities respecting the non-
payment of his troops, he was provoked to strike
the Imperial hanker. The authorities at Sbanghae
at once issued a proclamation deposing Burgevine
t'rom his command; they also requested the English
commandant at Shanghae to appoint a successor.
Col. Jebb accordingly appointed Cipt. Holland to
the temporary command. Owing to this occurrenm
it is said that the siege of Nanking has been aban-
doneo, and that the forces already gathered together
there are being withdrawn. Toe river is shortly-
expected to be swarming with Taeping junks. Mi.,
is likely to be an exaggerated fear.
The excitement produced at Shanghae by these
events may be judged by the fact that nearly e
whole issue of one of the local newspapers is de-
voted to correspondence and comments on the sub-
ject. It is allowed that Gen. Burgevine was wrong
in striking the Imperial banker, but that he had
great provocation.

The following general summary of news is from
the China Mail of Jan. 15:—

From Peking, the only intelligence refers to the
highly amicable relations which subsist between
the foreign and native authorities. A• project has
been conceived to have a line of railway between
Tien-tsin and Pekin ; the ordinary daily traffic is
large ; coal is cheap and good if properly wrought ;
the country between Lien-tain and the capital is
flat ; and the imperial authorities are ready to give
their consent to the scheme.
From the Northern Ports there is not much news
of consequence.
From Hankow, we hear that a chamber of com-
merce is being formed to regulate the price of all
exports; the authorities will support it. Two
hundred war-boats have been launched, and a num-
ber more will follow, their destination is Woo-hoo.

Kiu-Kiang continues to be well reported of; the
rapid increase in its exports is a promising feature
in this new settlement.

Letters from Ningpo report all quiet in the coun-
try, but state that the taxes in the city are rather
heavy ; as it was only by much trouble and expense
that Ningpo was regained for its people after their
cowardly surrender of it to the rebels, they have not
much cause for complaint, so long at least as the
money is wanted to preserve order in the district.
Che gunboat Flamer is reported to have gone on
shore on one of her late trips up the river, sustain-
ing some injury.

LONDON, THURSDAY, FEB. 26, 18C3.

The chimera of Union, so strongly upheld by
Mr. LINCOLN, and so credulously believed in by
his dupes, or rather the dupes of their own infua-
tion, is at length virtually at an end. The latest
American intelligence discloses the fact which we
from the first forsesaw, that when the eyes of the
Northerners were opened to the impossibility of
ever subjugating the South, they would turn upon
the Government in which they had trusted,and which
had so signally failed in redeeming its promises and
seek to come to honourable terms with a foe who
had from the first declared his willingness to make
peace, if allowed to retire peaceably from the Union,
and who had again and again beaten them in the
field. Foreign intervention is now unnecessary,
the cause of the South is practically gained. Suc-
cess to the Federal arms at Vicksburg or Charleston
might delay but could not avert the ultimate
acknowledgment of the right of the Confede-
rates to self-government. Already we find
that the North-west States are dissatisfied
with the conduct of the war. The free
navigation of the Mississippi, to procure which
they joined in the war, that being the high road
to their commerce, has been closed against them by
the possession of Vicksburg and other fortresses by
the Confederates. Twice have the Northern armies
and fleets endeavoured to take it, and twice have
they been defeated and compelled to retire. A third
and probably last attempt is to be made, and
doubtless a desperate effort will be made for its
capture ; but the garrison, which have twice re-
pulsedallow equal determination
the attack, will
Mississippi, and if this last
to hold the key of the
attempt fail it is probable that the agricultural
States of the North- west will make peace on their
own account with President DAVIS'S Government,
and leave their late allies to shift for themselves.
Meanwhile, we learn that :
" A resolution has been introduced into the
New Jersey Legislature to send commissioners to
Richmond to ascertain if the South will consent
to re-affirm her adhesion to the Union; if not,
under what terms amicable relations under one Govern-
ment can be restored. The Governor of Pennsylvania has
sent a message to the Legislature of that State condemn-
ing arbitrary arrests. The Illinois Legislature has ap-
pointed commissioners to confer with delegates from other
States upon the condition of the country, to meet
at Louisville, Kentucky, in March next, and has
agreed upon a recess from the 14th proximo until June 1,
in order to receive their reports. The me& prominent of
the commissioners is a staunch Republican and a personal

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.20 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
slightly dearer in London than in Paris.
By adrices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13..4 per £1 sterling.
standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
8-10tlis per cent. dearer in London than in llamburg
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
61 days' sight is about 170 per cent., and the premium on
gold is 54 per; cent. At these rates there is a profit on
the importation of gold from the United States.

COLNE VALLEY AND lIALSTEAD.

The half-yearly meeting was held on Tuesday at Hal •
stead, Mr. J. Brewster in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
an abstract (if which has appeared in The Sun, expressed
regret that it had hitherto been found impossible to come to
terms with the Great Eastern with regard to the joint use
of the same station at Haverhill. He hoped, however, that
a parliamentary committee would see the advantages which
would result from the two companies working together.
Although the opening of the line to Haverhill had been de-
layed, the works were progressing favourably, and a pas-
senger train had that day for the first time traversed that
portion of the line. The traffic receipts of the past half-year
had been £2,689, against £2,150 in the corresponding half
of 1861; but he never expected that the line would pay
until it was opened to Cambridge.

Mr. Brewster and Mr. Greenwood were re-elected direc.
tors, and the proceedings closed with thanks to the chair•
man.

WHITEHAVEN JUNCTION.

The report of the directors stated that, notwithstanding
the continued depression in trade, the revenue of the com-
pany for the past half .year exhibited an increase of £2,124
over the corresponding period of 1861, while the expenditure
showed an increase of only £315. The traffic receipts
amounted to £18,476, and the expenditure to £8,554, leav-
ing a balance of £9,912. The sum of £BOO had been appro-
priated out of revenue towards permanent way renewal ac-
count. The balance, after payment of interest on loans and
preference shares, was £5,228, out of which the directors
recommended a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. per an-
num on the original shares, leaving £1,500 for the contingent
fund and £229 for the next account. The expenditure on

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The supply of beasts hero today was moderately good,
both as to number and quality. For all breeds the demand
ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations compared with
Monday of 2d. per Blbs. The general top price was 4s 8d
per 81bs. Sheep, the show of which was limited, commanded
full prices, with a fair inquiry. The best Downs, in the
wool, realised 6s per 81bs. We have to report a slow sale for
lambs, at from 7s 4d to 7s 8d per Blbs. There was a fair
demand for calves at fully previous rates—viz., from 4s 4d
to 5s 6d per /Jibs. In the value of pigs and mulch cows very
little change took place.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

INDIA.

By the arrival of this mail we have received
advises from Calcutta to Jan. 22; Madras to Jan.
28. There is but little general news, only three
days having elapsed since the departure of the last
mail. The treaty with the King of Burmah re-
cently entered into by Phayre, acting as the re-
presentative of the British Government, is under-
steed to require some important modifications, and
to that end Colonel Phayre has returned to Burmah.
A bill has been submitted to the Governor-General's
council to legalise the treaty, but no further steps
will be taken, it is believed, until the result of Col.
Phayre's second mission is known.
The Gazette of the 21st January contains some
supplementary rules for the sales of waste lands,
being a continuation of those published by the lieu-
tenant-governor on the 17th of September last.
The Landholders' Association represented that seve-
ral of the rules were inapplicable and calculated to
interfere materially with the success of the measure,
and we are glad to notice, says the Ilarkarze, that
in every instance the Government have so modified
them as to meet the difficulties suggested.
According to Government telegrams the military
are actively engaged in suppressing the revolt in
the Cossyah country.
The Central Asian question remains much as it
was when we last wrote, says the Madras Athe-
neum. Dost Mahomed and Sultan Ahmed Jan con-
tinue their desultory strife, without a present
prospect of either giving way. It is nevertheless
observable that the defenders of Heerat seem to
have grown rather more aggressive than of late,
which may either indicate that scarcity is render-
ing them desperate, or that the old Ameer's pros-
pects appear less hopeful than they were. Nothing
certain can be gathered from the native accounts
which reach English ears through Affghanistan.

An inquiry ordered by Government into the cir •
cumstances of the loss of the screw steamer Jason
has taken place, and the evidence given has been
published, but the conclusions at which the commis-
sioners may have arrived have not yet transpired,
nor will they:do so, probably, until Government send
them forth in a record. Meanwhile, however, an
impression has grown up, that those in charge of
the wrecked vessel were not altogether as blameless
as they had the credit of being in the first instance.
Preparations are being made in Ceylon for what
is expected to be one of the most profitable pearl
fisheries on record.
