METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market
was seasonably good, both as to number and quality. On
the whole, the trade ruled steady, at about previous rates.
From our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts
fresh up were moderate; whilst those from Ireland and
Scotland were tolerably good. The general condition of the
supply, however, was very middling. Prime Scots, short-
horns, Herefords, and Downs, commanded a steady sale, at
fully last Monday's currency; but inferior breeds met a
dull inquiry, at late rates. The top figure was 5s per Blbs.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire comprised 2,000 short horns, &c.; from
other parts of England 600 various breeds ; from Scotland,
130 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 600 oxen, cows,
and heifers.

We were again but moderately supplied with sheep. Com-
pared with several previous weeks their quality exhibited a
falling off. Dawns and half-breeds were in steady request,
at extreme rates. Otherwise, the mutton trade was in a
sluggish state, on former terms. The general top figure
was 5s 8d; but a few very superior Downs realised 5s 10d
per 81bs.

Calves—the supply of which was only moderate—met a
dull inquiry. In prices, however, no change took place.
There was only a limited inquiry for pigs at last week's
quotations.

GREAT WESTERN.

The special general meeting of this company will be held
to-morrow for the purpose of electing 18 directors to repre-
sent the interests of the Great Western proprietors at the
Board of the amalgamated company. Since the last half-
yearly general meeting six vacancies were created in the
directory, which have been filled up by gentlemen selected
by the late shareholders' committee. It is believed, from
the good understanding that has been established between
the shareholdersjand directors, that the Board as now con-
stituted will be elected, and it is hoped that all the advan-
tages expected to arise from the amalgamation of the Great
Western with the other companies will be fully realised,
and that the agitation which has been prevalent for some
time past will be set at rest.

GERMANY.

VIENNA, AUG. 6.
It is officially announced that the Emperor, in
an autograph letter, dated 31st July, has invited
all the Sovereigns of the German Confederation,
and the Senates of the free cities, to meet in an
Assembly, at which all should personally attend,
with the object of discussing the question of a re-
organisation of the German Confederation suitable
to the requirements of the age.
The Emperor proposes Frankfort-on-the-Maine
as the place, and the 16th inst. as the time of
meeting.

The Oesterreichische Zeitung of to-day announces
that the Emperor personally takes the initiative in
introducing reforms in the German Confederation.
The same paper states that the German question
was discussed by the Emperor of Austria and the
King of Prusssa at Gastein.

SHERIDAN'S PRACTICAL JOKE ON RICHARDSON 1

"Sheridan had Leen driving out three or lour hours in a
hackney coach, when, seeing Richardson pass, he hailed
him and made him get in. He instantly conirived to intro-
dust) a topic upon which Richardson (who was the very
soul of disputatiousness) always differed with him; and at
last, affecting to be mortified at Richardson's arguments,
said, ' You really are too bad, I cannot bear to listen to
such things ; I will not stay in the same coach with you.'
And accordingly got down and left him, Richardson
hallooing out triumphantly, Ah, you're beat, you're beat 1'
Nor was it till the heat of his victory had a little cooled,
that he found out he was left in the lurch to pay for Sheri-
dan's three hours' coaching."

that a new condition is attempted to be imported into the

this company. which would prejudicially affect the interests
of the original shareholders, by making the earnings of the
present line, which are steadily increasing, liable to con-
tribute to the payment of the interests to be guaranteed to
the shareholders of the extension line. They intend to
submit the whole matter to an extraordinary meeting of the
company on the Bth of August, to determine by formal re-
s elution whether the offer of the Secretary of State for India
to sanction the proposed extension of the line at the reduced
rate of interest, " as part and parcel of the original under-
taking, and not separated," shall or shall not be accepted,
with all the necusary consequences, pecuniary or other-
wise, of such amalgamation.

STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON.
The report of the directors states that the revenue, in-
cluding the balance from the preceding half-year, amounts
to £251,506. The balance, after the payment of working ex-
penses and preferential charges, ie £53,343, out of which the
directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 71 per cent.
per annum, leaving a balance of £1,903. The lines between
Barnard Castle and Bishop Auckland have just been opened
for public traffic. This last remaining link completes another
direct route between Newcastle and Liverpool. The hotel
at Saltbum-by-the-Sea was opened on the 27th of July.
The Act amalgamating the railway with that of the North-
Eastern Company received the Royal assent on the 13th of
July last. In issuing to the shareholders their last report
as an independent board, the directors allude to their high
appreciation of the confidence which from the opening, 38
years ago, has been extended to those who have had the
management of the undertaking, which was never in a
sounder or more prosperous condition than at present, and
the Amalgamation Act will, in the opinion of the directors,
insure the continuation of those advantages which the dis-
trict has hitherto enjoyed, and conduce to the general wel-
fare of the now united interests. The capital account
shows that £4,223,498 had been expended, leaving a balance
of £102,335.

DOUGLAS JERROLD'S DRY RUMOUR I

" A friend is anxious to awaken Mr, Jerrold's sympathies
in behalf of a mutual acquaintance who is in want of a
round sum of money. But this mutual friend has already
sent his hat about among his literary brethren on more than
one occasion. Mr. —'s hat is becoming an institution,
and friends were grieved at the indelicacy of the proceed-
ing. On the above occasion, the bearer of the hat was re-
ceived with evident disaaisfaction. Well,' said Douglas
Jerrold, how much does -- - want this time ?" Why,
just a four and two noughts will, I think, put him straight,'
the bearer of the hat replied. Jerrold—' Well, put me
down for one of the noughts,' "

would here venture to call—though it may appear a

INDIA.

By the arrival of the Overland Mail we have
received the journals and correspondence that left
Calcutta on June 23. Tee steamer, the Bengal, put
back on the 29th with a broken screw, and the mails
were brought on by the Mooltan, which sailed from
Calcutta o❑ July 3, arriving at Suez on the 28th.
The principal intelligence brought by this mail has
been anticipated, but from an extra of the overland
Hurkaru of July 2 we make the following extracts--
"CALCUTTA, Thursday, July 2.

"In consequence of a heavy gale from the south-
west, considerable damage has been done to ship-
ping in the Bay of Bengal. The Peninsular and
Oriental steamship Simla, which left Madras a little

after 10 a.m. on Monday, the 22d June, did not
reach her moorings until the afternoon of Sunday,
the 28th. The run frem Madras to the Slndheads
was made i❑ 56 hours, but as the pilot brigs had
been forced out to sea, the Simla had no alternative

but to follow their example. It was not until her
third approach to the mouth of the river, that

she was able to obtain the services of a pilot. An-
other of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's
steamers, the Bengal, taking out the mails of the
23d of June, was disabled in the storm by the
breaking of her screw shaft, but fortunately suc-
ceeded in making the river. Her mails and pas-
sengers have been transferred to the Mooltan, which
had just before been sent into dock, and is decidedly
the slowest boat on this line.

"The British East India Steam Navigation Com-
pany have been no less unfortunate than their mag-
nificent rival. The screw steamer Sydney, lately
purchased from Government, sailed from Calcutta
on Wednesday, the 24th, having on board some 540
men, women, and children belonging to the regiment
of Sikh Pioneers, bound for Colombo. But no sooner
did she fairly get out to sea than her total unfit-
ness to be employed on such service was proved
beyond a doubt. Between decks th 9 water was fre-
quently knee-deep, and not a berth in the whole ship
that might not have served as a bath. The misery
of the poor soldiers, and their still more helpless
wives and little ones, was truly pitiable, but they
bore up manfully through their sickness, and worked
at the pump night and day. The greatest fear en-
tertained was lest the fire should be put out, the
danger of which was more than once very imminent ;
however, by constant exertions and by throwing a
portion of her cargo overboard, she kept afloat, and
late on Saturday evening passed Saugor on her re-
turn to Calcutta. Another steamer, the Australian,
likewise purchased by this Company from the Go-
vernment, was compelled, in a similar manner, to
throw a considerable portion of her cargo overboard
on the run to Akyab."

Royal Institute of British Architects.

Last evening the members of this institute, of
which her Majesty is the patron, entertained Mr.
Tite, M.P., at dinner at the Trafalgar, at Green-
wich, on the occasion of his retiring from the office
of president, which he had held for two years.
Professor Donaldson, the eminent arctitect, acted
as chairman, and the company was made up of all
the more distinguished members of the profession in
the metropolis and other parts of the kingdom,
including Mr. Gilbert Scott, Mr. Charles Barry, Mr.
Penrose, Mr. Pennethoze,a, Mr. F. P. Cockerel!,
Mr. P. Hardwick, R.A., Mr. S. Smirke, R.A.,
Mr. Owen Jones, Mr. Crace, Mr. Asbpitel, M. J.
Fergusson, Mr. B. Ferry, and many other arehi-
teats and persons of note. All the " style," in-
deed, may be said to have been represented 'on the
occasion. The Lord Mayor was likewise present,
;,s were also Mr. Hawkshaw, president of the Insti-
;ute of Civil Engineers; Mr. Thwaites, chairman
of the Metropolitan Board of Works ; and Mr.
Bntinck, M.P. Judging from the cordial tone of
the meeting, and of the speelhes made on the
occasion, the architects of the metropolis ap-
pear to regard Mr. Tite not only as an orna-
ment of their profession, but as having given
hem as a body a social status, and opportunities
fur advancing the study of their art unknown
to them until within the last 15 or 20 years, and
combined individual skill and knowledge into one
common stock for the public advantage, through •
the medium of the Institute, which he was mainly
instrumental in establishing. Though they may
differ on many subjects connected with their pro-
fession, they would seem to be at one in these re •
spects, from the highest to the humblest. In the
course of the evening Professor Donaldson, now the
president of the institute, proposed the health of his
predecessor, Mr. Tite, in very complimentary terms,
dwelling on his merits and works as an architect
during a career of upwards of 40 years. principally
in the city of London, in which he was born and
educated, on the liberal assistance he had afforded
from time to time from his own private means in
advancing the general interests of the profession,
and on his fine arcbte3logical taste. The toast was
drunk with great cordiality by the whole company,
and Mr. Tite spoke briefly in reply to the compli-
ment, recounting some of the more interesting inci-
dents of his professional experience, but, like the
speech of the chairman, interesting only or mostly
to the members of his own profession. The com-
pany separated about 11 o'clock.

HALF-YEARLY MEETING-THIS DAY.

The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of
this company was held to-day at the London Tavern; A.
Young, Esq., presiding.
The CHAtumAN eaid the business f r transaction was
very short and satisfactory. Hitherto the directors had
paid both classes of shareholders a dividend at the rate of
G per cent, but on this occasion that amount wculd be in-
creased. Al hough no formal report would be presented
on that occasion, he bad to infcrm the meeting
that the half-yearly accounts had been audited, and
the directors felt perfectly justified in increasing their
dividend on the pret•ent occasion to 31 per cent. for the half
year to both classes of shareholders, which was at the rate
of 7 per cent. per annum.

The proposition was agreed to unanimously, and a vote
of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings.

A CASE OF CONSCIENCE.

The following letter 119,6 been addreesed to the
editor of the Times :

" Sirs—Her Highness the Maharanee, Jindkore,
of Lahore, mother of his Highness the Maharajah
Daleep Singh, died on the Ist current at Abingdon-
house, Kensington, in the Hindoo faith, and we
understand it is proposed to bury her. _ .

" The practice is contrary to the religion of the
Sikhs, and, as his Highness the Maharajah denies
our right to dispose of the body according to our
customs, we are constrained, as a matter of con-
science, to appeal to the country for protection, and
beg you will kindly allow us a place i❑ your spirited
journal to enter a public protest against the intended
desecration.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

To-day's market was fairly supplied with beasts as to
number, but their general quality was inferior. The few
prime breeds on offer sold slowly, at about previous rates,
the top quotation being 4s 101 b per 81b, Inferior stock was
very dull, at barely stationary prices. The show of sheep
was moderate. Downs and half-breds were in fair request,
at full currencies, viz., 4s 8d to 5s per 81b.; but inferior
sheep ruled heavy, at prices barely equal to Monday.
Lambs were in moderate supply and sluggish request, at
late quotations. There was a large supply of calves in the
market, and the veal trade was very dull. The most infe-
rior calves sold as low as 33 per 81b. Pigs and milch cows
moved off heavily, at late rates.
