rnment have established soup kitchens
in Valetta, Floriana, and the Three Cities. The
soup is very palatable and of excellent quality, and
will doubtless be a great boon to many poor people,
who, owing to the stagnation of business of all
sorts, are entirely deprived of the means of subsis-
tence.

Sicily continues to enjoy a perfect immunity from
cholera, while it has appeared in the Neapolitan
provinces and other parts of Italy. If she escapes
altogether it will be a strong argument in favour of
segregation, where it is possible, to prevent the
introduction of this much-dreaded epidemic. On
continents, and in large tracts of country, such iso-
lation from the rest of the world is of course impos-
sible. The Supreme Board of Health, sitting at
Palermo, have re-established communication with
Malta by imposing a quarantine of 14 days to be
performed at Trapani.
The towns on the coast of Barbary have also been
hitherto exempt from the disease, although cases
have occurred on board ships riding out their qua-
rantine, both at Tripoli and Tunis. The Turkish
Consul has intimated that Tripoli will not admit
fugitives from infected places, except they be domi-
ciled residents at Tripoli returning there.
Letters from Constantinople of the 14th inst. say
that the daily deaths there from cholera amount to
1,000 in a population of about 1,000,000.

The report of the directors states that the revenue
account furnished by the lessees showed that the re-
ceipts amounted to £25,435 and the expenses to
£17,672, leaving a balance of £7,763. The receipts
on capital account had been reduced by £l,OOO de-
bentures, which had not been reissued. The returns
of passenger tolls and proportions of goods receipts
derived by the Great Eastern, the London and
Blackwall, and North London Railway Companies
from the traffic of the line during the half-year had
been furnished by the directors of those companies.
They were—for the Great Eastern, £4,711 ; for the
London and Blackwall, £5,839 ; and for the North
London, £1,034 ; making together £11,584. Add-
ing to this the £25,435 received as above, the gross
receipts for Tilbury traffic during the half-year
amounted to £37,019. Since the last meeting the
Dagenham Docks Company had been successfully
established, and eventually a large increase of goods
and passenger traffic would be brought upon the
Tilbury line. The capital account showed that
£794,244 had been expended.

Shocking Parricide.

EvEsitim, Saturday.
A man named Charles Vale has been to-day committed
for trial on the warrant of Mr. Best, the coroner for Eves-
ham, on the charge of killing his father. The inquest was
held to-day before Mr. Best, when it transpired that the
prisoner lived with his father (the deceased) and his brother
and sister, at 13ridgenorth ; that on Thursday night ho
came home late and was making a noise, when his father,
told him to desist, on which one of the daughters pushed
her father out of the back door. He then got in at the
front, when the prisoner seized him by the shoulders and
with an oath pushed him into the street and knocked him
down, fracturing his skull and causing instant death. The
following witnesses were examined :
George Tombs, cooper, heard a quarrelling at the Vales
between ten and eleven o'clock on Thursday night, and
saw the deceased and the prisoner struggling together in
the passage. Told the prisoner not to strike his father,
and he said ho would not, but that he would turn him
outside. When they got outside the passage the prisoner
struck his father, and the latter fell on the pavement on
the back of his head.

Two other witnesses, a printer named Gestingham and
a gardener named Baylis, who saw part of the affray, cor-
roborated Tombs's evidence. The prisoner, when thrust-
ing his father out of the house, had his hands at his throat,
and threatened to " kill the -." Deceased fell with
great force on the pavement, and no signs of life were
visible in him after. Baylis heard the prisoner say to his
father, as he pulled him out of the passage, your
old eyes, come out and l'll give you something."

the pungent shooting pain and acute inflammation of the
affected joint ; these pills cast out from the whole system

LOSTWITHIEL AND FOWEY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
at Fowey on Thursday , Mr. Head, of Exeter, in
the chair.

• The CITAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, stt‘ted that the line was nearly completed.

from Carne Point to a junction with the Cornwall
Railway at Lostwithiel, and an agreement, subject
to the approval of the meeting, had been entered
into with the Cornwall Company, which he thought
was most satisfactory. The company had offered
the shareholders 50 per cent. of the receipts, and he
felt satisfied that the Lostwithiel and Fowey Company
could not work the line for themselves under 60 or
70 per cent. The annual traffic in clay, minerals,
and other materials was estimated at 78,000 tons.
The report was adopted, and the directors were
authorised to accept the surrender of 733 shares
from the holder.

A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the pro-
ceedings.

CORNWALL.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
at Falmouth on Friday —2l.r. R. Tweedy, chairman,
presiding.
The report was taken as read.

The CHAIRMAN having moved the adoption of the
report and statement of accounts, the resolution
was carried unanimously.
At the conclusion of the ordinary business the
meeting was made special for obtaining the assent
of the proprietary to an agreement made between
the Lostwithiel and Fowey Railway Company and
the Cornwall Company, with respect to the working
of the former by the latter when completed. This
measure was also passed unanimously, and the pro-
ceedings closed with a vote of thank.; to the chair-
man and directors.

WHIT EHAVEN JUNCTION.

The report of the directors states that the dis-
turbed state of the iron trade had caused a consi-
derable reduction in the receipts of the company
during the past half-year. The decrease in receipts
as compared with the corresponding half of last
year amounted to £4,559. The traffic receipts for
the half-year ending the 30th of June last amounted
to £22,768, and for the same half of 1864 to £27,327.
The working expenses amounted to £9,454, against
£10,629, showing a decrease of £1,165, and leaving
the decrease of net receipts £3,394. The line, works,
and rolling stock had been kept in efficient repair
during the half-year, and 38 new waggons were
added to the stock. The expenditure on capital
account had amounted to £1,290 for new rolling
stock and additional sidings. The balance available
for dividend, after the payment of all preference
charges, £8,548, and the directors recommended the
declaration of a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent.
per annum, and that £3,506 be carried to the con-
tingent account. During the past half-year another
claim fur personal injuries had been settled from the
funds on hand on the contingent account. The
terms offered for the purchase of the line by the
London and North-Western Railway Company were
such that the directors considered it right to submit
them to the shareholders,' and at the special meeting
on the 26th of June last those terms were approved,
and the purchase o f the undertaking now only awaited
the sanction of Parliament. The capital account
showed that £279,000 had been expended and the
•apital suspense account showed an expenditure of
£16,366. The contingency account showed that
£8,122 had been taken from revenue, out of which
£3,058 was deducted for compensation, leaving a
balance of £5,064.

VALE OF NEATH.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
at Neath on Friday—Mr. Gilbertson in the chair.
The secretary, Mr. Crier, having read the report,
an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun,
The CHAIRMAN moved its adoption, and expressed
his readiness to answer any questions that might be
put to him.

Mr. J. M. PARSONS called attention to the delay
on the part of the Great Western Board in complet-
ing the details of the arrangements for the amalga-
mation of the company with that of the Great
Western. He had come from London to attend the
meeting, with the view of learning exactly how
things stood, and would feel obliged if the chairman
' would give him some information.
The CHAIRMAN said the remarks of Mr. Parsons
must approve themselves to all the proprietors pre-
sent. The great difficulty in dealing with the Great
Western Board was that one day they met one set
of men and another day another set, and it had come
to this at last that he had told Mr. Potter, the chair-
man of the Great Western Company, that the next
time he had a new set of directors to meet him he
should put on his hat and leave the room. He might
say, however, that he had no reason to complain of
the bond fides of the Great Western Board. They
had sealed last week their resolution of the 5k per
cent. dividend, and Mr. Potter had shown himself a
most competent and straightforward man. He had
no doubt in a few weeks they would substantially
have everything settled. The elections and the
grouse shooting he knew had had a good deal to do
with taking people away ; but they had got the
resolution of the Great Western Board of Directors
signed, and nothing but the grossest breach of faith
could interfere with the full and efficient carrying
out of the amalgamation.
Mr. PARSONS had thought it better to bring the
matter before the present meeting. (Ilear, hear.)
The Great Western Company's meeting would, no
doubt, be a very full one, and some people at that
meeting might wish to see this agreement with the
Vale of Neath Company broken off. The proprietors
of that company might not see, as the Vale of Neath
did, the great importance of the latter Company to
the former. It would be as well, however, for them
not to procrastinate. They had a formidable anta-
gonist in the Midland, and if they did not soon
close their bargain with the Vale of Neath, the latter
might secure themselves in another direction.
Mr. RICHARDS having seconded the resolution
for the adoption of the report, it was carried unani-
mously.

Dividends were then declared at the rate of 51
per cent per annum on the consolidated stock and
shares, 5 per cent. on the preference stock, 5 per
cent. on the guaranteed preference stock created in
1855 and 1861, and 4} per cent. on the preferential
shares.

A resolution authorising the consolidation of the
ordinary £2O shares into ordinary stock was then
agreed to.
The directors were then authorised to create and
issue £75,000 of additional capital.
Thanks were voted to the chairman and directors,
and the proceedings terminated.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

To-day's market was heavily supplied with foreign stock.
With the exception of a few• of the sheep, there was no im-
provement in quality compared with Monday last. Sales
progressed slowly, on rather easier terms.
The supply of English beasts was again limited, and in
very middling condition. Nevertheless, all breeds moved
off slowly, and, in some instances, the quotations had a
drooping tendency. The best Scots, crosses, &c., sold at
ss. 4d. per 81b. Moro than half the supply was composed
of foreigners.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton..
shire we received 1,200 short horns, &c.; from other parts
of England 500 various breeds; from Scotland 35 Scots
and crosses; and from Ireland 250 oxen and heifers.
The show of sheep was on the incres.se, but nearly all
reeds were in very middling condition,. Good and prime
Downs, half-breds, Lincolns, Leicesters, &c., changed
hands steadily, at full quotations. Oenervrise the mutton
trade was heavy, and the currencies. ruled in favour of
buyers. The top figure was Gs 8d per Sibs.
The lamb season is now nearly over, but the few lambs
in the pens realised Gs to 7s per 81bs.
We have to report a good demaAd for calves at 2d per
81bs. more money. Prices ranged, from 4s 4d to 5s 4d per
81bs.

There was a fair demand for pigs, and prices had an
upward tendency.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Aua. 28.

In the negotiations between the Sovereigns of
Austria and Prussia for the definitive settlement
of the succession question to the Duchies, the fol-
lowing points have been agreed to by both Powers
as the basis for the future organisation of the
Government of Schleswig and Holstein :-
1. Austria and Prussia recognise the Vienna
treaty of peace as the only legal basis for the
settlement of the question of the sovereignty of the
Duchies. Both Powers therefore form the only
tribunal which, so soon as they shall come to an
understanding on the subject, shall have the
authority to decide on the future political organi-
sation of the Duchies.

2. The duty of defending the Duchies will be
undertaken by Prussia, and whatever ultimate
settlement of the succession question may be arrived
at, the military resources of Schleswig and Holstein
will be placed at her disposal.

CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS.

LOSTWITHIEL AND FOWEY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
at Fowey on Thursday ; Mr. Head, of Exeter, in
the chair.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, stated that the line was nearly completed

from Came Point to a junction with the Cornwall
Railway at Lostwithiel, and an agreement, subject
to the approval of the meeting, had been entered
into with the Cornwall Company, which he thought
was most satisfactory. The company had offered
the shareholders 50 per cent. of the receipts, and he
felt satisfied that the Lostwithiel and Fowey Company
could not work the line for themselves under 60 or
70 per cent. The annual traffic in clay, minerals,
and other materials was estimated at 78,000 tons.

The report was adopted, and the directors were
authorised to accept the surrender of 733 shares
from the holder.

A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the pro-
ceedings.

CORNWALL.

The half-yearly meeting oftills company was held
at Falmouth on Friday—Mr. R. Tweedy, chairman,
presiding.

The report was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN having moved the adoption of the
report 'and statement of accounts, the resolution
was carried unanimously.

At the conclusion of the ordinary business the
meeting was made special for obtaining the assent
of the proprietary to an agreement made between
the Lostwithiel and Fowey Railway Company and
the Cornwall Company, with respect to the working
of the former by the latter when completed. This
measure was also passed unanimously, and the pro-
ceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chair-
man and directors.

BLYTH AND TYNE.
The directors of this company report that there
had been a steady increase in all departments of
traffic, and that the new branch to Whitley and
Tynemouth had been well supported. The gross
revenue for the half year ending the 30th June was
£56,977, and the expenditure, including way-leaves,
interest ondebentures, and land purchases, £37,495,
leaving a balance of £l9,4B2,applicablefor dividends,
out of which the directors recommended a dividend
at the rate of £lO per cent. on the 10 per cent. pre-
ference stock, £5 per cent. on the 5 per cent. pre-
ference stock and shares, and at the rate of 91 per
cent. per annum on the ordinary stock and shares of
the company, leaving a balance for the reserve fund.

THE HARVEST.

The weather hss continued unpropitious for harvest
work in many parts of the eastern district, although the
constant showers which have fallen are very partial. In
the neighbourhood of Stamford a large quantity of grain
remains ungarnered, and reports are current that the new
wheat is sprouting in many places. In the Long Sutton
district harvest operations have been much retarded by
stormy days, but during the past week the weather has
happily been more favourable, and large quantities of
corn have been secured in fair condition, although, in
several instances, carrying has been too hastily effected.
Reaping-machines have done good service in this neigh-
bourhood. Several samples of new wheat have been ex-
hibited in Spalding market ; the quality has varied con-
siderably, and has not been very good. A large quan-
tity of corn has now been carried about Thorney ; the
quality and quantity are inferior. In the Market Resell
district a few stacks have been raised, but a great propor-.
tion of the corn is still unfit for loading. A Lincoln report
says that in that neighbourhood harvest operations have
been greatly impeded by unsettled weather and frequent
showers ; a great breadth of corn is down. A similar report
is made from Trentside, where fears are entertained that
there will be sprouted corn.
London, England, 1865-08-28

WIIITEIIAVEN JUNCTION.

The report of the directors states that the dis-
turbed state of the iron trade had caused a consi-
derable reduction in the receipts of the company
during the past half-year. The decrease in receipts
as compared with the corresponding half of last
year amounted to £4,559. The traffic receipts for
the half-year ending the 30th of June last amounted
to £22,768, and for the same half of 1864 to £27,327.
The working expenses amounted to £9,454, against
£10,629, showing a decrease of £1,165, and leaving
the decrease of net receipts £3,394. The line, works,
and rolling stock had been kept in efficient repair
during the half-year, and 38 new waggons were
added to the stock. The expenditure on capital
account had amounted to £1,290 for new rolling
stock and additional sidings. The balance available
for dividend, after the payment of all preference
charges, £8,548, and the directors recommended the
declaration of a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent.
per annum, and that 3,506 be carried to the con-
tingent account. During the past half-year another
claim fur personal injuries had been settled from the
funds on hand on the contingent account. The
terms offered for the purchase of the line by the
London and North-Western Railway Company were
such that the directors considered it right to submit
them to the shareholders, and at the special meeting
on the 26th of June last those terms were approved,
and the purchase of the undertaking now only awaited
the sanction of Parliament. The capital account
showed that £279,000 had been expended and the
•apital suspense account showed an expenditure of
£16,366. The contingency account showed that
£8,122 had been taken from revenue, out of which
£3,058 was deducted for compensation, leaving a
balance of £5,064.

GUERNSEY.
On the 23d inst. the Royal Court of Guernsey
passed an ordinance, whereby from and after Mon-
next, the 28th inst. masters of vessels are forbidden,
under penalties, to import cattle from the United
Kingdom into Guernsey unless they are provided
with a certificate from a person exercising the pro-
fusion of a veterinary surgeon declaring that the
cattle on board are healthy and free from all conta-
gious disease when shipped in the United Kingdom ;
such certificate to be authenticated by a justice of
the peace or notary public. By other provisions of
the ordinance no cattle to be imported into Guern-
sey except at the harbour of St. Peter Port ; and
all cattle imported thereat are to be declared to the

COLNE VALLEY AND lIALSTEAD.

The report of the directors states that the capital
had been increased £307, part of £BOO advanced
from revenue to pay certain matters on land and
compensation account. The traffic account, fur-
nished by Mr. D. Gooch, the contractor for work-
ing the railway, gave a total traffic receipt for the
year of £4,439. Under the terms of the contract
£35 per cent. of the gross traffic was payable to
the company, and gave £1,554 available towards:in-
terest for the current half-year; but this sum ap-
peared to the directors too small for division. The
gross receipt of £4,439 was an increase as compared
with the corresponding half of 1864, which was
£3,890. The railway from Haverhill to Cambridge
having only been opened for public traffic by the
Great Eastern Company on the Ist of June, 1865,
the time was too short to enable the directors to
report as to the effect of such opening upon the
traffic over the Colne Valley line. The capital
account showed that £262,636 had been expended.
