Railway Traffic Returns for the Week.

The last week's railway receipts ascertained up
to this day are in round figures as under :

1865.
Great Western £76,089 £76,4 186413
North Western ... ... •.. ... 123,738 116,564
South-Western ... 30,392 28,768
Brighton ••• ... 25,694 23,876
Midland ... 51,234 49,574
South Eastern ... ••• ... 28,957 28,397
Great Northern ... ... 38,534 33,411
Lancashire and Yorkshire ... 46926 46,818
Bristol and Exeter ... ... 8,073 7,551
North Eastern ... ... 75285 72,736
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln 20,142. 18,544
Great Eastern ... 33,566 31,966
London, Chatham, and Dover... 14,328 13,115
These returns, when compared with those of the
corresponding period of last year, are, in most in-
stances, of a favourable character. On the North
Western there is an increase of £7,174; South
Western, £1,624 ; Brighton, £l,BlB ; Midland,
£1,660 ; South Eastern, £560 ; Great Northern,
£5,123 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, £lOB ; Bristol
and Exeter, £522 ; North Eastern, £2,549 ; Man-
chester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, £1,598 ; Great
Eastern, £1,600 ; and London, Chatham, and
Dover, £1,213. The Great Western, however,
shows a decrease of £324.

A report has been issued by the directors of the
West London Wharves and Warehouses Company,
which states that the main works have not yet been
commenced, the directors having had under their
most serious consideration the feasibility of
acquiring a wider extent of river frontage for the
accommodation of the traffic, which, if proper
facilities were offered, might be made available at
once, so as to produce an immediate revenue, with-
out waiting for the completion of the entire system
of docks, as originally contemplated. With this
object in view, the directors have for some time
past been in negotiation with the Southwark and
Vauxhall Water Company for the purchase of a
slip of land belonging to that company between
their filter beds and the river, which has a direct
river frontage of about 1,200 feet; and they now
report that they have concluded an agreement for
the absolute purchase of that slip, together with
the parts included in their Parliamentary powers,
which will not only save the company from the
costly proceedings under their compulsory powers,
but will enable them to acquire a total extent of
direct river frontage exceeding 1,700 feet, which
they could not otherwise have obtained. The in-
terest guaranteed of 7 per cent. will be payable on
and after Sept. 30.

THE MOORE.—With the exception of Saturday
last there has not been a single day of favourable weather
for the sportsmen since the 12th of August. On that day
no rain fell, there was a fresh breeze, and the birds sat
well; good bags were made on various moors. Numerous
accounts have reached us, and all concur that there is abun.-
dance of grouse, birds strong and well grown, with very
few cheepers. Owing to their forwardness and the state
of the weather the kill has not been heavy, and there will
be plenty of breeders left. On one of the best moors in this
neighbourhood the opening day was Thursday, and, wet
as it was, the party bagged 35 brace. Black game became
lawful prey on Monday. They are very abundant and in
good order.—Dumfries Courier.
PILCHARD FISHERY AT ST. MAIVES.—On Friday
afternoon upwards of 200 hogsheads of pilchards were
taken in a Beau belonging to Messrs. W. Collings sad Sons.

STATE OF TRADE

CARDIFF, Aug. 22.—Tho prevalence of unfavourable
weather has slightly checked trade at the docks, but within
the last day or two things are beginning to right them-
selves again. The stem has not been an open one for some
weeks, whioh shows that business upon the whole is pretty
active. The ironworks of Merthyr and Aberdare are well
employed, and there is no scarcity of orders experienced.
Puddled iron is still unusually firm, and it will take a few
weeks regular working before stocks are completelyreple-
nished, the same having been materially reduced owing to
the effect of the late hot season. Rails are in good demand,
and American specifications are gradually increasing in
number and quantity. Quotations average from £7 to £7
10s. per ton at the works. Bars and other descriptions also
command a full average inquiry. Continental buyers of
steam coal are purchasing considerably, and merchants re-
port that there is a pretty good demand. The Birkenhead
and London markets continue to take increased quantities.
Prices are fairly maintained. The Lantwit and Rhondda
Valley house-coal collieries are not in many instances on
inland
sale. time, owing to the falling off in the local and
sale. The other branches of trade are in about the same
state as last week.

LEICESTER, 231—There is a seasonable amount of
business doing in hosiery. Plain goods are in request, and
there is a fair demand for fancy articles. Manufacturers
continue to be well engaged with orders on hand, nothing
being made for stock. In the country districts business re-
mains healthy. Worsted yarns are firm and high in price,
and spinners are well employed. Cotton yarns are also
dear. There is a shade more inquiry for wools, and high
prices are quoted.

NOTTINGHAM, 23d.—The lace trade remains, on the whole,
quiet, and there has not been much doing in any branch
during the past few days, except, perhaps, in black silk
laces, for which there is yet a fair demand. The silk mech-
lin trade is still quiet, and there is nothing doing in quil-
lings. The cotton lace trade is flat. Very little is doing
in either plain or fancy goods. The hosiery trade con-
tinues buoyant. There is a full average amount of busi-
ness doing in most branches, and the workpeople continue
well and fully employed. Manufacturers have orders on
hand, ani no stocks whatever are created.

A MAN BLINDED BY SULPHURIC ACID.—A
fiendish assault was perpetrated by a wife upon her hus-
band at Hebburn a few days ago. Margaret Surgen and
her husband had been living unhappily together for some
weeks. The latter had been unmanly enough to beat his
spouse, but she retaliated in a fearful manner by throwing
sulphuric acid in his face, which completely burnt out one
'eye, and so injured the other as to render it probable that
he will be e tirely blind.—Sunderland Herald.

LANCASTER AND CARLISLE.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
at Lancaster on Tuesday, when a dividend at the
rate of 10} per cent. per annum on the consolidated
stock of the company was declared. Mr. J. Coul-
ston, Mr. H. Garnett, and Mr. J. Barker, were re-
elected directors ; and Mr. H. Crosfield was re-
elected auditor. At the conclusion of the business
of the meeting a handsome silver epergne, value 300
guineas, a silver shield, and a life-size portrait of
Mr. Hasell, the chairman of the company, was
presented to him by the shareholders, in acknow-
ledgment of his long and valuable services to the
company.

TAFF VALE.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held at Bristol on Tuesday, Mr. J. Poole in the
chair. The report, which has appeared in The
Sun, was taken as read.

The CHAIRMLN, in moving the adoption of the

report, said they lad maintained the former divi-
dend, and had 'avoided accidents, which had been
so disastrour.„ and which they all so much lamented.
The inclined plane on their line was in course of
reduction, and would soon be opened as a locomo-
tive line, exempting the freighter from the oppres-
?Ave charges he had to pay for the conveyance of
goods he carried over it. They were laying down
additional lines of rails, anticipating a large increase
of their traffic, so that when it arrived they might
be in a position to receive it. One of their railway
bridges, which was constructed of timber, and
attended with large expense, and perhaps some dan-
ger, was now being replaced by a stone bridge,
which would reduce the expense and make their line
much more desirable. The Penrath docks had been
successfully opened, and when the details were com-
pleted would prove a great addition to their pro-
perty. He moved a resolution, adopting the report,
and declaring a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent.
per annum, which was carried.

A resolution, authorising the raising of £120,000
by the creation of new shares, was agreed to.
The retiring electors were re-elected, and the
meeting was then made special to consider a work-
ing agreement with the Dare Valley Railway Com-
pany, which was approved and adopted, and the
proceedings terminated.

Our Immense Number of Novelists.

It is almost impossible, says a writer in the Times
of yesterday, to keep up with the novelists, and
ever as we return to this species of literature we
are more and more impressed with a sense of its
enormous bulk. The mass of fiction out of which
the critic has to choose is one of the most curious
sights in literature. We are so accustomed to the
innumerable crowds of novels and novelists that w e
scarcely take note of them, like the man who could
not see the wood for the trees. We mark a good
novel here and there, as the man in the wood might
have marked a fine tree ; but we take little account
of the prodigious growth on every side of novels on
every possible subject, written by every possible
sort of person. We invite our readers to a simple
calculation, so that they may for themselves form
some idea of this prodigious fertility of story telling.
Let them begin with the novels which appear in
parts. First, we have Mr. Dickens and Mr.
Trollope, each publishing a novel in monthly num-
bers. Then in each of the magazines there are
one or two novels published by instalments. The
last number of Blackwood's Magazine has por-
tions of no less than three different tales. The
Cornhill has always two stories in progress ;
Macmillan and Temple Bar have the same ; the
Shilling, the New Monthly, Bentley, and the
Dublin University have two also ; Fraser has
one, if not more ; the Fortnightly Review starts
with one ; All the Year Round, Once a Week, Good
Words, Chambers's Journal, each have one ; and
there is a host of other periodicals, known to us
chiefly through the advertisements—London Society,
the Englishman's Magazine, and the rest--which in
every issue put forth a novel or two. Every month
there appears an instalment of more than 30, nearer
50, novels. And then in addition we have to count
up thdhbveLs that are issued -coMplete. We are much
within the mark when we say that the publishing
houses of Messrs. Hurst and Blackett, Chapman and
Hall, Smith and Elder, Richard Bentley, Maxwell
and Co., Tinsley Brothers, send out annually about
a dozen each. Some among them issue double that
number. Nor is this all: there are houses, like
those of the Messrs. Blackwood, the Messrs. Long-
man, and Mr. Macmillan, which, although they are
not so prolific in novels as those we have men-
tioned, yet do not neglect this species of literature,
and annually make one or two additions to the vast
stock. Yet, again, there are publishers like Mr.
Booth, Mr. Sampson Low, Mr. Skeet, and Mr.
Newby, who have each a special position in the
world of novels, and who each go to increase the
array of fictions.

FRANCE,

BOURSE, Aug. 23.—Two o'clock.—There is a very
small attendance at the Bourse. The only event of
note is a quarter per cent. fall from London, which
is differently explained—the apprehensions, by some,
that the directors of the Bank of England will ad-
vance the rate of discount to-morrow ; and the fear,
by others, that the immense quantity of rain which
has lately fallen in England will affect the agricul-
tural interests. The funds here, though higher than
at the opening, are still below yesterday's prices.
Threes, for the Account, are quoted 68fr. 75c., and

tions may now be considered at an end for the pre-

not see the wood for the trees. We mark a good
novel here and there, as the man in the wood might
have marked a fine tree ; but we take little account
of the prodigious growth on every side of novels on
every possible subject, written by every possible
sort of person. We invite our readers to, a simple
calculation, so that they may for themselves form
some idea of this prodigious fertility of story telling.
Let them begin with the novels which appear in
parts. First, we have Mr. Dickens and Mr.
Trollope, each publishing a novel in monthly num-
bers. Then in each of the magazines there are
one or two novels published by instalments. The
last number of Blackwood's Magazine has por-
tions of no less than three different tales. The
Cornhill has always two stories in progress ;
Macmillan and Temple Bar have the same ; the
Shilling, the New Monthly, Bentley, and the
Dublin University have two also ; Fraser has
one, if not more ; the Fortnightly Review starts
with one ; All the Year Round, Once a Week, Good
Words, Chambers's Journal, each have one ; and
there is a host of other periodicals, known to us
chiefly through the advertisements—London Society,
the Englishman's Magazine, and the rest—which in
every issue put forth a novel or two. Every month
there appears an instalment of more than 30, nearer
50, novels. And then in addition we have to count
up the novels that are issued complete. We are much
within the mark when we say that the publishing
houses of Messrs. Hurst and Blackett, Chapman and
Hall, Smith and Elder, Richard Bentley, Maxwell
and Co., Tinsley Brothers, send out annually about
a dozen each. Some among them issue double that
number. Nor is this all: there are houses, like
those of the Messrs. Blackwood, the Messrs. Long-
man, and Mr. Macmillan, which, although they are
not so prolific in novels as those we have men--
tioned, yet do not neglect this species of literature,
and annually make one or two additions to the vast
stock. Yet, again, there are publishers like Mr.
Booth, Mr. Sampson Low, Mr. Skeet, and Mr.
Newby, who have each a special position in the
world of novels, and who each go to increase the
array of fictions.

SALISBURY.-TUESDAY.

------- - • -
At this market to-day the attendance was very limited,
farmers being busily engaged at home with the harvest.
Wheat in short supply, and not generally in good condi-
tion. Higher figures asked, but the weather being fine the
upward movement was chocked, the top price of old wheat
being 52s per pr. For barley about the usual inquiry, and
prices supported. Oats scarce, and holders asking higher
rates. Beans unaltered.
The following are the quotations :—Wheat realised from
38s to 52s ; barley, 26s to 32s ; oats, 22s to 30s ; beans, 40s
to 50s ; and peas, 34s to 428 per qr. Tares, from 6s to 7s
3d per bushel ; Best bread, 12d ; household ditto, lld
per 81b loaf. Flour, 32s to 37s per sack.

HIILL.--TUESDAY.
Since our last there has been a fair demand for wheat At
an advance of 2s to 8s per qr. over the prices of the pre-
viows week. This advance is partially owing to the large
quantity of rain which has fallen in the district ; the bar"
Test being thereby much interrupted, although at present
no material damage appears to have been done. At our
market to-day there was a good show of English wheat,
which sold at an advance of is to 2s per qr. The demand
was not, however, brisk.
English old white wheat, 48s to 50s ; old red, 44s to 465.
Barley, chevalier, 28s to 325. Oats, Russian, 22s to 24f:
Beans, new English, 42s to 435. Peas, English blue, aos
to 86s 6d ; grinding, 35s to 35s 6d per 36 stone.

BRISTOL AND EXETER.

The half-yearly meeting was held yesterday at
the offices, Bristol, the Earl of Deyon in the chair.

The report, an abstract of which has appeared in
The Sun, was taken as read.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the I
report, adverted to the loss the company had sus-
tained in the death of the late chairman (Mr.
Buller). The increase in the traffic receipts was
attributable to goods and cattle traffic. There was,
however, a considerable increase in the expenditure,
arising from causes over which the directors had no
control. The other head under which an increase
'f expenditure had taken place was one which, more
or less, was calculated to increase the permanent
stock of the company. There was an increase in
the dividend from the South Devon line. The re-
ceipts amounted to £174,219 for the past half-year,
as against £169,795 in the corresponding half of
last year. He expressed his willingness to answer
any questions, remarking that the object of" the
directors was to be on the most frank, open, and
friendly footing with those who had done them the
honour to place them in that position. (Hear.)
Mr. M. CASTLE, deputy-chairman, seconded the
motion for the adoption of the report, and it was
adopted unanimously.

A dividend at the rate of 44- per cent. per annum
was then declared for the past half-year, after which
resolutions were proposed and adopted authorising
the direetors to create new stock to the extent of
£230,000, and to subscribe £30,000 to the Tiverton
and North Devon Railway.
Mr. J. Mumcn proposed an increase in the remu-
neration of the directors from £1,200 to £l,BOO a
year.
Mr. ALEXANDER seconded the motion.
Mr. J. Perry moved an amendment, which was
seconded by Mr. Smith.
On a show of hands, seven voted for the amend-
ment and 19 against it, and the original resolution
was carried.

On the motion of Mr. S. V. Mira, it was unani-
mously agreed, in respect to the memory of the late
chairman (Mr. Buller), to have either a bust or por-
trait made at the cost of the company.
A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors
terminated the proceedings.
