CORK AND BANDON.

The report of the directors states that the receipts
'or the half-year ending June 30 last showed a de-
crease of £269, which might be accounted for in the
quantity of iron rails, sleepers, and other materials,
carried over the line in thg corresponding period
last year for the West Cork Railway. The work-
ing expenses showed an increase of £124, as com-
pared with the corresponding half of 1864, the com-
pany being obliged to maintain the permanent way
of the Kinsale Junction Railway after the first year
of its being opened for traffic. The accounts, after
providing for all working expenses, interest on loans,
dividends, and amounts due to the Royal Bank,
showed a surplus of £1,738, out of which the direc-
tors recommended a dividend to be paid on the No.
11 preference shares at the rate of 51 per cent. per
annum for the half-year ended the 30th of June
last, leaving a balance £4lB to be carried to next
account ; they also recommended that a dividend be
declared on the No. 2 preference shares for the same
period, at 4 .per cent. per annum, for which deferred
dividend warrants would be issued. The works on
the West Cork Railway and Cork and Marconi
Railway Direct progressed, but the directors were
unable to mention the exact time when either line
was to be opened for traffic ; the amount to be paid
by the latter company for the use of•one mile of the
company's line and terminus at Cork had been re-
ferred by mutual arrangement to the Government
arbitrator to decide. The capital account showed
that £344,382 had been expended. The revenue
account showed that £9,369 had been received and
£5,666 expended, leaving a balance of £3,703. out
of which was deducted £1,699 for interest on deben-
tures, and £283 paid to the Kinsale Junction Corn-
pany,leaving a balance of £1,721, to which a balance
from the preceding half-year would be added.

AQTJATICS.

ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB REGATTA. i
The cutter race for a prize of £5O, given by Mr. H. Ken-
nard, and the schooner rake for ther club purse of £5O,
started in both classes on Wednesday, and partially re-
ported in The Sun of yesterday, were auspended at sunset
owing to the distance at which the loading vessels were
from the goal, and the light wind that had hitherto pre-
vailed dying away to a calm. The cutter's prize will be
sailed for again on Saturday.
The races fixed for yesterday on the programme of the
Club wore :

A Prize, value £5O, for cutters under 100 tons, and yawls,
under 125 tons, belonging to any two or more Royal
Yacht Clubs. Yawls to sail as cutters, with a fourth of
their tonnage deducted. To start at 10.30 a.m. Time
race, half Acker's scale. Thames measurement.

And the schooner race between the Intrigue, Circe, and
Flying Fish, unfinished on Wednesday, to be sailed over
again.
The list of names in both the races of the day, as well as
in the adjourned race for Mr. Kennard's prize, gave pro-
mise of a brilliant day's sport, if only a strong wind replaced
the unsteady breezes that had prevailed during the two
previous days. What,'
for instance, could be more inte-
resting in a yachting sense than a full trial of strength be-
tween
,the Albertine, the Witchcraft, and the Evadne, or
the famous cracks comprised in the list of cutters ? The
Hirondello and the Hyacinth did not put in an appearance
at the starting moorings.
Tho signal gun for starting the cutters was fired at the
time appointed, when sails were
quickly got up by six out
of the eight entered, and they were off—off, however, some
east and some west, from apparently some mistake in reading
the flag signal. The heads of all were eventually pointed
eastward, Volante leading, and in a weather position, with
Marina second, and Astarte third, all three nearly in line.
Considerably to leeward of the three vessels named were
Niobe and Christabel, the Vindox bringing up the lot as
whipper in nearly half a mile astern of the leader. Wind
S.S.W., rising from a light to a niceish breeze. Tide, east,
slack. At llh 15m 45s the Volante opened out to view
south of the Noman, from the committee or starting vessel,
followed by the Astarte, at 11h 18m 10s, and Niobe, Yin-
dex, Christabel, and Marina, all in a cluster, at llh 21m.
Volante found the wind heading heron passing the Noman,

DETENTION OF HORSES ON A RAILWAY.

ROBINSON V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.
—This was an action for the detention of horses on the de-
fendants' railway. The defendants pleaded a denial of their
liability. Mr. Attorney-General James and Mr. Williams
were for the plaintiff; and Mr. Pickering, Q.C., Mr. T.
Jones, and Mr. Crompton for defendants. The plaintiff is
a horse dealer in Bury New-road, Manchester, and he
brought this action for damages which his horses sustained
by reason of the neglect of the defendants in not fulfilling
their contract to carry his horses from Swindon, in Wilt-
shire, and Shipton, in Oxfordshire, at which places they
were put into the company's possession for conveyance to
Manchester. This was alleged to have occurred in three in-
stances. On Friday, Aug. 26, 16 horses were sent from
Swindon. The plaintiff's agent was told that his horses
would arrive in Manchester on the following morning at 6
o'clock, but they did not arrive until midnight. On Satur-
day, Aug. 27, 12 horses w ere delivered at Shipton, the ar-
rangement being that they should be sent to the station be-
fore 8 o'clock in the morning, to be conveyed to Bushbury
Junction, near Wolverhampton, and there delivered to
the London and North-Western Railway Company for
conveyance to Manchester, where thoy should have arrived
at one o'clock in the morning ; they did not, however,
arrive until 24 hours after their time. On Tuesday, Aug.
30, six horses were sent, but they did not arrive at Man-
chester until long after their proper time. The horses suf-
fered from cold, confinement, and want of food and water.
One was suffering badly from chest disease ; tho others
were coughing, low, and off their food. The damage was
estimated at £l5O. Mr. Pickering said the plaintiff's agent
had chosen to have the horses forwarded by luggage train,
at half the charge which would have been made by send-
ing them by a passenger train, and he had signed a paper
undertaking all risk himself. The Judge said he should
rule that the contract was not unreasonable, but was bind-
ing. He held, however, that it did not protect the defend-
ants from liability for injuries sustained in consequence of
unnecessary delay. For the defence several witnesses were
called to prove that the hordes had been forwarded by the
proper and only available trains. The Jury found that
thew was an undue detention of 18 of the horses, and
awarded £OO damages. Leave (vas given to Mr. Picker-
ing to move the court above on the legal construction of a
special contract in the way bill.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS,

Tho objects of this Company are to carry out a contract
for the purchase, from the London and North-Western
Railway Company, of about 80 acres of Freehold Land (20
acres of which wore laid out some years since by the late
Sir Joseph Paxton), situated between the Menai and Bri-
tannia bridges, over the Menai Straits, in the county of
Carnarvon, to erect and maintain, on a portion of the land,
a first-class Hotel, and to dispose of the residue for building
purposes.
The property is admirably adapted for the objects con-
templated, being close to the junction of the line to Car-
naivon with the main line of the Clihester and Holyhead
Railway (the London and North-Western Company under-
taking to make their station at present on the property a
first-class station, and to stop at it four-fifths of their ordi-
nary passenger trains), thus affording easy access to all the
points of interest in North Wales and the locality.
There exists a groat demand for Building Land in the
locality, as well as for further Hotel accommodation, and
there can be no doubt that a considerable sum will be
realised by the sale of the surplus property.
Interest at six per cent. per annum will be paid on De-
posits and Calls, and on payments in advance of Calls, till
the opening of the 'Hotel, which, it is expected, will take
place in about eighteen months.
Detailed Prospectuses with Forms of Application for
Shares may bo obtained, and the Articles of Association

lords of the manor are not inspired by the same
laudable desire, seeing that they have only to let
things remain in statu quo to secure the thanks of
their neighbours. A park is a valuable and beauti-
ful possession, but a wild free land like Hampstead
Heath (as it was) or Berkharnpstead Common is
still better, and unless our landed proprietors will
show a little more liberality and public spirit,
Parliament must interfere in the interest of the
public.

their contract to carry his horses from S windon, in Wilt-
shire, and Shipton, in Oxfordshire, at which places they
were put into the company's possession for conveyance to
Manchester. This was alleged to have occurred in three in-
stances. On Friday, Aug. 26, 16 horses were sent from
Swindon. The plaintiff's agent was told that his horses
would arrive in Manchester on the following morning at 6
o'clock, but they did not arrive until midnight. On Satur-
day, Aug. 27, 12 horses w ere delivered at Shipton, the ar-
rangement being that they should be sent to the station be-
fore 8 o'clock in the morning, to be conveyed to Bushbury
Junction, near Wolverhampton, and there delivered to
the London and North-Western Railway Company for
conveyance to Manchester, where thoy should have arrived
at one o'clock in the morning ; they did not, however,
arrive until 24 hours after their time. On Tuesday, Aug.
30, six horses were sent, but they did not arrive at Man-
chester until long after their proper time. The horses suf-
fered from cold, confinement, and want of food and water.
One was suffering badly from chest disease ; the others
were coughing, low, and off their food. The damage was
estimated at £l5O. Mr. Pickering said the plaintiff's agent
had chosen to have the horses forwarded by luggage train,
at half the charge which would have been made by send-
ing them by a passenger train, and he had signed a paper
undertaking all risk himself. The Judge said he should
rule that the contract was not unreasonable, but was bind-
ing. He held, however, that it did not protect the defend-
ants from liability for injuries sustained in consequence of
unnecessary delay. For the defence several witnesses were.
called to prove that the horses had been forwarded by the
proper and only available trains. Tho Jury found that
thole was an undue detention of 18 of the horses, and
awarded £9O damages. Leavo /vas given to Mr. Picker-
ing to move the court above on the legal construction of a
special contract in the way bill.

with them to the corner of Bedford-row, and then fol-
lowed what I have just said.

Maria Beale—l live at the Star Coffeehouse, Red Lion-
street, and am tea-room maid. I saw Southey on Monday
morning at about half-past eight in the tea-room.
The Coroner—You seem confused; just think for a
short time. What day was it?

Witness—tOn Tuesday morning. lie bud breakfast with
the children. He also took dinner with them that day.
After tea, about six o'clock, he took them up to ned. I did
not not go with them. I did not see them aee them after
that till next morning, when they were dead. I did not
talk much 'with the children. On Wednesday morning,
at about half-past e:ght o'clock, I went up to Miss Clifford
to see if she would have a little tea or coffee. Miss Clif-
ford told me to go and see how the littlo boy was in No. 8
room, as he was unwell. I went to the door but found it
locked. I then turned to No. 6 room, the door of which
was open, and said to the children, " Ain't you going to
get up," and when I put my hands on their arms and found
the children wore dead I went and told Mrs. Clifford im-
mediately.
A Juror—When was the last time you saw the children
out of doors ?

Witness—On Tuesday morning. They were out about
half an hour at seven in the morning. They said they
were going to their mother, but that they did not know
where she was.

We shall continue the inquest in a later edition

rIGENCE,

READING RACES.-YESTERDAY.

There is always about the usual quality of sport on the
King's Meadow. Good fields and moderato performers are
its general characteristics, and of course the Berkshire
stables carry off a fair share of the prizes. Reading hardly
keeps pace with the times in the internal economy of its
arrangements. A shabby wooden stand, more becoming
Barnet fair than the capital of Berks, and the weighing de-
partment, &c., under canvas, place it much behind some of
its younger rivals who cannot boast the patronage bestowed
on Reading.
The Reading Stakes saw the easy defeat of Gladiator by
Qui Vivo, whose fine tern of speed is just suited to a half-
mile spin.
The Berkshire Stakes proved the good thing for Pearl
Diver the handicap looked on paper, Fantail succumbing
under the weight, and un the " feather," Defy, being near
him.
The Nursery Plate brought out a largo field, and gave
us a good race between the first two favourites, resulting
in favour of Retrousse by a head.
The Easthampstead Park Stakes (Handicap) of 5 sous
each, with 50 added. Five furlongs, straight.

Mr. Merry's Crisis, 4 yrs, Bst 41b (Fordham) 1

The follow:ng also ran :--Dooford, Mysterious Lady,
Blackbird, Viola, and My Cob.
Betting-5 to 2 agst Crisis, sto 1 each agst Viola and
Czarina, and 12 to 1 agst My Cob.
Crisis got off in front, attended by Czarina, and Jane
Shore, My Cob lying well up on the off side, aad Blackbird
and Mysterious Lady in the rear. At the distanca, Crisis
took a more decided lead, Jane
.Shore at the same time
passing Czarina, but fail:ng to catch Crisis, who won
easily by two lengths ; Czarina a bad third. My Cob was
fourth, and Viola fifth. The last two were Mysterious
Lady and Dooford. The winner was bought in for 400
guineas.
The Steward's Plate (Handicap) of 100 eovs in specie, for
8-yr-olds and upwards. Straight seven furlongs.

Mr. G. Angell's Lady Valentine, 3 yrs, 6st 101 b (car.
ist 61b) • (Perry) -1
Mr. E. Brayley's Pearl Diver, 4 yrs, 7st (Ilibbord) 2

The following also ran :—Stockingor, Norma, Peignoir,
Veluti, Godmershain, Belle of Kars, Endsleigh, Latitude,
Frisky Matron, and Camillus.
Betting-4 to 1 agst Godmersham, sto 1 agst Lady Va-
lentine, 11 to 2 agst Pearl Diver, 6 to 1 agst Overture, 8 to
1 agst Norma, 12 to 1 agst Veluti.
Peignoir made play, followed by Lady Valentine, Pearl

Diver, and Godmersham, with Overture heading the rear
division. Lady Valentine on entering the straight took a
olear lead, but Perry easing her soon after enabled Pearl
Diver to get up, with Overture in close attendance ; but
Lady Valentine again taking the lead opposite the stand
won cleverly by a neck, Overture finished a length behind
the second, Godmersham was a bad fourth, Peignoir fifth,
and Endsleigh sixth ; Latitude was left at the post.
The Reading Stakes, of 15 sovs each, 5 ft, with 50 added,
for 2-yr-old colts, Bst 101 b, and fillies, Bst 51b. Half a
mile.

SECOND HEAT.

W. Sawyer, Teddington 1
W. Dolwyn, Westminster
W. Sadler, Putney 0

Sadler began to show in front soon after the start, and at
the Star and Garter held a lead of nearly half a length, the
other two being as nearly level as possible. Just opposite
the Duke's Head Sadler appeared to be in difficulties, tho
nose of his boat suddenly rising about a foot from the water,
and on his taking the succeeding stroke she parted amid-
ships. Sadler was thus left sitting in the water, the stem
and stern of his wager-boat forming an angle of 40 degrees,
but held together by tho iron outriggers. Sawyer and
Dolwyn continued the race, and were level to the half-
mile post, where Sawyer began to draw away, and at
Craven Cottage held a lead of a length and a half. Cross-
ing the water, he increased his advantage, notwithstanding
a plucky effort made by Dolwyn opposite Rose Bank, and
won by three lengths.

WESTMINSTER.

CHARGE OP EMBEZZLEMENT BY A SHOPMAN.—Georgo
Evans, a young man ha the service of Mr. Webb, cheese-
monger, Brompton-row, was charged with embezzlement.

Mr. Young, a solicitor, stated the case for the prosecu-
tion. Prisoner had charge of a round of customers who
were supplied from his master's shop, and it.was his duty
to collect money for goods supplied, enter the accounts
in a book kept for that purpose, and pay the money imme-
diately he returned home. Amongst the customers was a
lady named Webster, in South-street, who, on the 2d of
August, paid prisoner £1 Gs. 5d., for which he neglected
to account, nor did he make any entry of it in his book.
A bill was sent to Mrs. Webster in a few days afterwards
for the same amount, when she called at the shop, and
producing the receipt, proved that she had paid the
amount, and prisoner was last night given into custody, it
being suspected that ho had embezzled other amounts.
His master's brother proved that prisoner was employed
as described, and produced the books to show that he had
never accounted for Mrs. Webster's money.
Prisoner said that he had not been guilty of dishonesty.
In order to give change to customers he had put some
money of his own in his pocket, whick being mixed with
his master's, had caused a confusion in the accounts. He
could not tell from whom he received money, and told the
cashier of Mr. Webb that he had got money over, and did
not know from whom. He had since found where he had
received two of the accounts from the 2d of August, and in
reference to his book made up before he was charged last
night, it would be found that ho had greater payments duly
entered, and accounted for.
Mr. Webb's brother said he had heard the prisoner had
said to the cashier that he had nigney over. It was his
duty to account for the money directly he received it. He
had been withholding money in this sort of way until the
receipts by him were ascertained by the firm, through the
complaint of customers that they had had fresh bills sent
for mosey they had already paid, and witness had cau-
tioned the prisoner about the practice.
Mr. Solfe said that the prisoner's conduct might be very
improper, but yet might not be dishonest, and the entries
made yesterday of previous accounts were certainly much
in his favour. He should take his own recognisance for
his reappearance on Friday.
London, England, 1865-08-11

CORK AND BANDON.

The report of the directors states that the receipts
for the half-year ending June 30 last showed a de-
, crease of £269, which might be accounted for in the
quantity of iron rails, sleepers, and other materials,
carried over the line in the corresponding period
last year for the West Cork Railway. The work-
ing expenses showed an increase of £124, as com-
pared with the corresponding half of 1864, the com-
pany being obliged to maintain the permanent way
of the Kinsale Junction Railway after the first year
of its being opened for traffic. The accounts, after
providing for all working expenses, interest on loans,
dividends, and amounts due to the Royal Bank,
showed a surplus of £1,738, out of which the direc-
tors recommended a dividend to be paid on the No.
1 preference shares at the rate of 5i per cent. per
annum for the half-year ;ended the 30th of June
last, leaving a 'balance £4lB to be carried to next
account ; they alsoyecOimnendecl. that a dividend be
declared on the No2preference shares for the same
period, at 4 per cent. per annum,-for which deferred
dividend warrants would be issued. The works on
the West Cork Railway and Cork and Maroom
Railway Direct progressed, but the directors were
unable to mention the exact time when either line
was to be opened for traffic ; the amount to be paid
by the latter company for the use of one mile of the
company's line and terminus at Cork bad been re-
ferred by mutual arrangement to the Government
arbitrator to decide. The capital account showed
that £344,382 had been expended. The revenue
account showed that £9,369 had-been regeived and
iii,:666..exp2niled, leaving a balance of £3,703, out
of which was deducted £1,699 for interest on deben=
tures, and £283 paid to the Kinsale Junction Corn-
pany,leaving a balance of £1,721, to which a balance
from the preceding half-year would be added.
