The report of the directors states that the line
has been worked during the past half-year with
regularity and without accident of auy kind. A
dividend at the rate of £2 10s. per cent. per annum
would be paid to the shareholders on the 20th of
October next. The directors were in hopes that

been long since commenced. The capital account
showed a total expenditure of £119,317, and re-
ceipts of £116,361, leaving a balance due to the
banker of £2,956.

YOUNG THIEVES.—WiIIiam Harvey and Thomas Col-
lins, two boys, were charged before Mr. Woolyrch with
endeavouring to pick pockets. _ _

Policemanl93M said that on Saturday night, about a
quarter to one o'clock, ho saw the prisoners together in
Short-street, New-cut, and very industrious in putting
their hands into the pockets of some men that were loiter-
ing about. The elder prisoner was the most active, and the
plan adopted was for him to thrust his hand into the
pocket, while the younger one stood close to him, ready to
run off with the booty. It did not appear that they had
been successful during the quarter of an hour that he was
watching their movements before ho took them into
custody.

The magistrate dismissed the prisoners with a caution.
TURNED OUT AT AN EARLY AGE.—Sarah Harrington, a
young girl between 15 and 16, and her brother, aged six,
were brought before the magistrate charged with being
found in a piece of enclosed ground the night previous.
The girl, in reply .to the magistrate, said that she had
been in service for a year and a half, and left because her
mistress did not require her any longer. She was after-
wards employed at hopping, and last Tuesday she left
Chatham, in consequence of her father, a labourer in the
docks, saying that ho would not support her any longer,
as she was over 14. Her brother followed her, because
he know that she had a few half-pence in her pocket, and
they were two days coming to London. They had been
in the workhouse, and had no means of support.

The Alagistrate. directed that the young unfortunates
should be sent back to Chatham.

TENDRING HUNDRED.

The report of the directors states that the traffic
on the line between the Hythe, Colchester, and
Wivenhoe had increased in the half-year ending
Aug. 31 to the extent of nearly 20 per cent. as com-
pared with the corresponding period of 1864. The
increase of traffic during the past season would have
been greater but for the continued failure of the
oyster brood, but the experiment tried of cultivating
Scotch and Irish oysters in the waters of Collie had
proved successful. Efforts have been used to for-
ward the opening of the line to St. Botolph-street,
Colchester; this had not yet been effected. An
advantageous arrangement was expected to be made
with the Great Eastern in regard to the general
goods traffic. With regard to the extensions to
Weeley and Walton-on-the-Naze the directors ex-
pressed great dissatisfaction, and had, under the
terms of the contract, taken possession of all the
works, plant, and material on these lines, and had
proceeded to complete the works on account of the
company. The whole of the land required was in
possession of the company or arranged for. The
directors were also completing the portion of the
Brightlingsea extension line secured to the use of
the company, and they felt assured of having the
line so far finished as to allow its use simul-
taneously with the opening of the extensions
to Weeley and St. Botolph's. The directors
proposed to exercise the borrowing powers to
the extent of £28,000 ; they were about to issue
debentures of £lOO each and upwards, bearing
interest at 5 per cent. per annum. The amount of
capital expended on the original undertaking to the
31st of August was £46,677, leaving a balance of
£573. The expenditure on the extensions to
Weeley and Walton-on-the-Naze was £66,880,
leaving a balance of £3,609.

CUMBERLAND.

In spite of the precautions taken by farmers in many
parts of the country to prevent the introduction of the " rin-
derpest" the disease has again appeared in Cumberland.
The two diseased cows imported from Newcastle, under
the circumstances described in The Sun, having been
killed, no others have become affected in the immediate
neighbourhood of Carlisle ; but on Monday the death of a
cow took place near Allonby, on the west coast of Cum-
berland, which the local veterinary surgeon pronounced to
result from "rinderpest ;" and Professor Dick, after read-
ing his report of the symptoms and post-mortem appear-
ances, agreed with him that the case was one of cattle
plague. On Friday, Messrs. Carlisle and Bell, veterinary
surgeons, and inspectors under the Order in Council for
the Carlisle district, were called out to a case at Walton,
about ten miles north-east of Carlisle. They found it to
be one of "rinderpest," and ordered the cow to be killed.
Their post-mortem examination of the carcase confirmed
their opinion. Another cow had died in the same herd on
the previous day from the same disease. These cattle had
been introduced from Northumberland a fortnight ago. A
third animal has since died at Walton.

NORFOLK.

At Thorpe, near Norwich, there has been a severe out-
break of the disease. A few cases are also reported front
Gunningham, and one or two other points. The weather has
however, become cooler, and on the whole the disease is
not now considered to be extending in Norfolk. On his
estate at Croon-point near Norwich, Mr. Harvey, M.P., has
lost about 90 beasts, valued at £5 each, and some 40 calves,
valued at £2 10s. each. At a meeting of the committee of
the Norfolk Cattle Plague Assurance Association, on Satur-
day, Mr. R. Leamon complained that Mr. Harvey had,
while the disease was still prevailing, removed some other
stock front the Croon-point property to Brundall.

SCOTTISH NORTH-EASTERN.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
at Aberdeen on Thursday ; Mr. Stirling in the chair.
The report, an abstract of which has appeared in
The Sun, was held as read.

The CHAIRMAN said there had been an addition of
£lO,OOO to the traffic during the past half-year, the
largest amount they had ever received within a similar
period, a fact which must be highly satisfactory to
the shareholders. The amount of increase in work-
ing expenses was also satisfactory, inasmuch as it
was greatly smaller in proportion than the increase
in traffic. During the past six months the increase
in the traffic had not simply been at one or two large
stations ; it had been spread over the whole system,
less or more. This was a most satisfactory feature,
as showing the elasticity of their traffic, and giving
hope that its increase would continue to improve in
all directions. After referring to the purchase of
the Carmyllie Railway, and the necessity of in-
creased station accommodation, particularly at Perth,
he concluded by moving the dividends recommended
in the report, all of which were unanimously agreed
to, and the retiring directors and auditors re-
elected.

An extraordinary meeting was then held, when it
was agreed that the Scottish North-Eastern Com-
pany should work the Montrose and Bervie line for
eight years, .and contribute £15,000 to that under-
taking.
On the motion of Colonel CHRISTIE, a vote of
thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

There was more activity in the demand for wheat in the
country markets held on Saturday. The amount of busi-
ness transacted, however, was but moderate, nevertheless,
the best samples commanded in some instances rather more
money. For most descriptions of spring corn the:trade
ruled quiet at about stationary prices. Flour was in but
moderate request at late rates.

On the Continent the wheat trade is quiet at about late
prices. For spring corn there is only moderate demand at
late rates. At New York, both wheat and flour have rea-
lised enhanced rates ; resulting, however, from an exten-
sive home demand, and not from an active export inquiry;
the business doing for shipment, indeed, is small.
There was a good arrival of English flour up to our
market last week, but the receipts of wheat and spring corn
were limited. The imports from abroadamounted to 31,717
quarters of wheat, 4,947 barley, 60,379 oats, 110 rye, 640
peas,. 1,865 linseed, 15 rapeseed, 2,765 maize, 521 sundry
seeds, and 590 sacks of flour.

Fresh up to Mark-lane to-day the arrivals of wheat from
Essex and Kent were very moderate, and a portion of the
supply was received in poor condition. For good and fine
wheats there was a steady demand, and the rates of Mon-
day last were fully supported ; but for inferior home-grown
wheats the trade was in a sluggish state, but without
leading to any probable change in prices from this
day se'nnight. The general state of the English wheat, in
fact, was devoid of activity, although there was certainly
considerable firmness apparent as regards the best qualities
of produce.
The supply of American wheat on offer was decidedly
limited, but the show of Russian produce on the stands
was of considerable extent. Very little Dantzic wheat
was on offer, the bulk of the week's arrivals having gone
direct to millers' hands. The demand for most descriptions
of foreign -wheat ruled quiet. lAA Monday's currency,
however, was well supported.

Floating cargoes of wheat commanded more attention,
at fully late rates. Spring corn afloat was firm in price.
The market was scantily supplied with home-grown,
and very moderately with foreign barley, yet the trade
ruled quiet, On former terms. A parcel of fine Scotch
barley was exhibited for Salo, and was held at 425. per
quarter.

There was a steady demand for malt, resulting in toler-
ably extensive transactions, at full prices.
With foreign oats the market was well supplied, but
there _was only a moderato supply, of home-grown qualities
on sale. The trade for most descriptions ruled steady, at
late rates.

Beans were in short supply, yet the demand for them
ruled inactive, on former terms.
There was an increased supply of peas on offer. The
trade was quiet, yet prices ruled stationary.
For English flour there was a fair demand, at full prices.
Foreign sacks were steady in price ; whilst the trade for
barrels—owing to the limited supply on offer—ruled firm.

At Thorpe, near Norwich, there has been a severe out-
break of the disease. A few cases are also reported from
Gunningham, and one or two other points. The weather has
however, become cooler, and on the whole the disease is
not now considered to bo extending in Norfolk. On his
estate at Croon-point near Norwich, Mr. Harvey, M.P., has
lost about 90 beasts, valued at £5 each, and some 40 calves,
valued at £2 10s. each. At a meeting of the committee of
tho Norfolk Cattle Plague Assurance Association, on Satur-
day, Mr. R. Leamon complained that Mr. Harvey had,
while the disease was still prevailing, removed some other
stock from the Croon-point property to Brundall.

FLINGING STONES ON THE BLACKWALL RAILWAY.—
Richard Seeley, a lad employed in attending boats on the
canal, was charged before Mr. Paget with throwing stones
on the Blackwall Railway, near to the Limohouse station.
The evidence showed that on the previous night a porter
was lighting the signal lamps, when he heard some person
flinging stones on the line. He went towards the bridge,
and on looking over it he observed the prisoner and some
other lads fling stones to the bridge. He called out to them
and asked them to desist. They did not, when, as they
continued throwing stones, he gave information to a con-
stable, who took the prisoner into custody.
Mr. Paget (to the porter)—Did he throw stones at you ?

Witness—No, sir. He was the most active of all the
boys, which was the reason of his being taken into custody.
Mr. Paget—Are you sure he is the same boy ?
Witness—l am, sir.

Mr. Paget—lt is a most dangerous practice, and I am
determined to do all in my power to stop it.
An inspector stated that there were constant complaints
of boys throwing stones on the railway.
The prisoner was fined 405., or in default 14 days.
ANNOYING PASSENGERS ON THE NORTHLONDON RAILWAY.
—Chas. Chell was charged with annoying passengers.
Policeman Squire, 44 K, stated that on the previous
evening he was at the Bow Station when the prisoner ap-
plied for a ticket. Witness, seeing he was tipsy, refused to
let him have one. He then became very violent and made
use of most disgusting language. It was so bad that wit-
ness was obliged to take him into custody.
The evidence having been corroborated,
Mr. Paget observed that the railway authorities bad
acted very properly in not allowing the prisoner to go by
the train, he boing drunk, and fined him 405., or in default
14 days.

DISEASES.—There seems to be quite a mania just
now about diseases in everything. Besides the potato
disease and the cattle disease, we hear numerous rumours of
disease among poultry, disease among pigs, and lastly,
disease among bares. Our Ross-shire contemporary on
Tuesday had the following :—" It is said that a number of
hares have been found dead on the Ardgowan estate from
some yet unknown disease. Their bodies were emaciated."
We have seen several reports as to serious disease amongst
poultry, and newspaper paragraphs are quite rife in regard
to disease amongst pigs in Ireland.—Elgin Courant.
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE HOSPITAL.—A munificent
contribution of £lOO to the funds of this charity has been
made by Mr. George Homer, of Solihull, near Birmingham,
through Dr. Parkes, Professor of Military Ilygeine at Net-
ley, formerly Professor of Clinical Medicine to University
College and Hospital. The annual subscription of 10
guineas of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has
been received from General Knollys. Mr. Thos. Boucher,
of Belsize-park, Hampstead, has sent a donation of 10
guineas, and Mr. Jeremiah Greatorex, of Cleveland-square,
one of 20 guineas.

BOROUGH HOP.

The supply of new hops on sale is tolerably large. In
good and fine samples a fair business is doing ; but the
trade for inferior, as well as old, qualities is dull. There
was an increased importation into London, last week, the
arrival from Ostend being 60 ; from Rotterdam, 5 ; from
Dunkirk, 20; from Hamburg, 26 ; and from Antwerp, 81

OTTOMAN (SMYRNA TO AIDIN).

The report of the directors states the progress of
the works as satisfactory, notwithstanding the inter-
ruption occasioned by the cholera, which had now
nearly subsided. The directors confidently antici-
pated the realisation of the contractor's assurance
that the through communication over the mountain
would be effected within the next few months. The
reports of the engineers confirmed this view, while
that of the traffic manager indicated improvement
in the traffic and reduction in working expenses upon
the year's operations. The heavy repairs of the en-
gines had prevented the effect of this economy being
experienced in the past half year, which had also
been affected by the renewal of sleepers upon a con-
siderable portion of the opened line. Although the
Board were advised by the traffic manager that from
the contracts he had made he anticipated a large in-
crease in the goods traffic, the directors did not think
that any important results could be -expected until
the through line was opened. The shares which the
directors were authorised to issue had all been ap-
propriated.
The report of Messrs. Purser and Clark, the chief
and the consulting engineers, stated that from the
present progress of the works and the arrangements
made by the contractor they had great confidence
in being able to report railway communication
throughout between Smyrna and Aidin before the
next meeting of shareholders in March, and the
completion of the summit tunnel and the termination
of the contract before the next fruit 'season. The
capital account to June 30 showed an expenditure
of £1,212,209, leaving a balance of £92,240.

COLONIAL.

TEA..--Business has been inactive, and the few dealings
entered into have been at about previous rates.
SUGAR.—The market has remained without material al-
teration. Superior qualities of West India support pre-
vious rates, while superior descriptions are a shade cheaper.
In the refined market quotations are steady.
COFFEE.—There has been a moderate inquiry for supe-
rior qualities of colonial, which have realised fully late
rates.
RICE.—A fair amount of business has been done at full
rates for most qualities.
TALLOW.—The market has continued unaltered, and
quotations for both present and forward delivery are
unaltered.

KISSING A LANDLADY.—At the New Bailey, Man-
chester, John Ayrey, builder, was charged by Mary
Wolstencroft, landlady of the Lamb and Lion, a public-
house in Blackley, with kissing her. The complainant
stated that on Monday night, between nine and ten
o'clock, she went into the kitchen, where several men
were drinking. As soon as she entered the defendant put
one arm round her neck, with the other encircled her
waist, and after some resistance by the complainant suc-
ceeded in giving her a kiss, to the great amusement of the
others in the kitchen. Complainant's cap fell off during the
struggle, and she declared that the defendant was impu-
dent, and his conduct quite improper. Mr. Trafford, the
presiding magisirate--What do you mean, Mr. Ayrey, by
kissing a young lady against her will ? Mr. Torr, who
appeared for the defendant, said it was no doubt a stupid
thing. - The defendant—I apologised, and have done all I
can to arrange the matter. Mr. Trafford, to the complain-
ant—Will you be content if the defendant says he is
sorry, and pays for the summons ? The complainant—lt
is my character that is involved, and I only want what is
right in coming here. Mr. Torr—He says that he is very
sorry for his rudeness. Mr. Trafford—Yon have done all
you could do to prove yourself a respectable woman, and
he says he is very sorry. The complainant—l will leave
the matter in your hands. Mr. Trafford—Mr. Ayrey, when
young men kiss young ladies against their will, and are
brought to this court, they have sometimes to pay very
heavily for the offence. It appears that on this occa-
sion, you knew the lady ; but do be more tender in your
caresses. (Laughter.) Mr. Torr—He pressed too tenderly.
(Renewed laughter.) Mr. Trafford—He pressed so much
that the complainant was not herself for all night. Mr.
Ayrey, say that you are sorry for if., and pay the costs.
The defendant assenting, paid 3s. and left the court amid
some Merriment. -
