STATE OF TRADE.

411DIPP, Feb. 21.—Steam coal continues in good de-
i7ll(l, and merchants experience no lack of inquiry. Con-
-4141 buyers are purchasing largely, and considerable
quantities are taken by the mail packet companies, both for
4eir home and foreign stations. Quotations upon the
1/'t hole are rather in favour of sellers, more especially for
} earn. of 'superior quality. The house coal proprie-
°l's are full of business, and the output is still hardly
elual to the requirements of buyers, the increased sale
atilig mainly from the cold weather. Coke for locomo-
tjl Purposes is in average request, and fairly renaunera-
Z°. Prices are obtained. The export demand for iron re-
"t!alus -without any material change. Very few transac-
'l;ll, have taken place of late on French account, and the
re Zt of the commercial treaty with that country has not
ke4t7d expectations. There are some orders in the mar-
Om Germany and also from the colonies and India.
22d.—There is a further demand for most
th,-bs's °f hosiery goods usually in request at this time of
tt 'ear. The retail dealers arc getting well cleared of win-
clia!°°(l6. Business in the rural districts is without much
yail-ge• There is no important alteration in the price of
4t L; Which are not much in demand. Wools arc quoted
vgh rates, with a quiet market.
y47l'TlxonAar, 22d—The lace trade for the time of the
remains quiet, but it is expected that with favourable
tileattilet the spring trade will open well. Cotton nets sell
tale , °WIY. Silk mechlins are in fair request. The Gernun
ZollB not brisk, but as there will be a reduction in the
lverein duties on the Ist July business will then im-
T)ave• The French trade is quiet, as is also the Italian.
Ireeaft,,e have been a few buyers in the market, but the cold
lke-ger prevents their purchasing to any extent. Black
t: are in slight request. There is very little doing in
tialallcwrheagings. The mechlin quilling trade is exceedingly
oati he hosiery Lade is a shade more quiet. Partly
beelt to the very severe weather, cotton goods have not
1180 much looked after. Yarns are not so firm.

STAINES, WOKINGHAM, AND WOKING.

The report of the directors states that there had been no
receipt or payment on capital account during the past half-
year. There was a small increase in the amounts of deben-
tures at 5 per cent. and 4 per cent., owing to the high rate
of interest which had recently prevailed. The increase on
passenger traffic during the past half-year amounted to
£142, and on goods to £46. The directors trusted that the
extension of the London and South-Western Railway into
the heart of the city, and probably also to the west-end,
combined with the speedy construction of the Sunningdale
and Cambridge-town Railway, and Chertsey and Virginia-
water branch, would produce a more rapid increase of their
traffic. The balance now standing to the credit of profit
and loss account was £2,782, out of which the directors re-
commended
the usual dividend of 5 percent. per annum on
the preference shares, amounting, lees income tax, to
£1,219; and a dividend of 2s. 6d. per share, being at the
rate of II per cent. per annum on the ordinary shares,
leaving a balance of £8 for the next account.

LEEDS, BRADFORD, AND HALIFAX.

The report stated that the dividend to be paid for the
past half-year, ended Dec. 31, added to that of 3 per cent.
paid for the half-year ending June last, Would make the
'dividend for the year at the rate of £7 2s. 6d. per cent., or
the same as the average dividend of the Great Northern for
the year 1864. The sum of £27,000 would be added to the
capital account, chiefly Paid for works on the Paley branch.
The cost of constructing the Bowling siding (.£1,228) had
also been placed to the capital. During the past-half-year
important enlargements, required by increasing traffic,•had
been made at the Bradford station. In conjunction with the
Great Northern Board, a bill had been again presented to
Parliament for power to amalgamate this company with
the Great Northern. The construction of the proposed
branch to the Lancashire and Yorkshire station at Brad-
ford would be commenced shortly.

LONDON, TILBURY, AND SOUTHEND.

The report of the directors states that the revenue account
as furnished by the lessees showed that the receipts for the
half-year ending Dec. 31 amounted to £36,271, and the
expenses to £21,369, leaving a balance of £14,902. The
gross receipts for the Tilbury line during the half-year, in-
cluding tolls paid to the Great Eastern, London and Black-
wall, and North London amounted to £52,600. A prospec-
tus had been issued for raising the capital for the proposed
docks at Dagenham, which, if completed, could not fail to
be of advantage to the company, as the docks would neces-
sarily create a large traffic on the line.

WESTMINSTER.

SHAMEFUL AND UNPROVOKED ASSAULT UPON A SHOP-
KEEPER.—WiIIiam Goldsmith, a rough looking man, was
charged with the commission of a very serious attack upon
a tradesman in his own shop.
Mr. William Bull, butcher, Broadway, Westminster, said
that at five o'clock last evening defendant came into the
shop and asked for a beef steak. He served him with it and
asked for the money, eightponce, and then defendant said
that he should not pay more than sevenpenco. Com-
plainant repeated that the price was as stated, upon which
the defendant struck him a violent blow on the face, from
the effects of which he staggered to the other side of the
shop, and he bled profusely. A policeman was sent for,
and he was taken into custody.
Michael Slack, a young man, who went into Mr Bull's
shop at the moment, confirmed the complainant's account.

Defendant—There were some words between us because
he threatened to put a knife into a dog in the shop.
Mr. Arnold—Was it your dog ?
Defendant—No, it was not.
Mr. Arnold—Then it could be of no possible interest to
you ; what do you say to the assault ?
Defendant—Well, lam very sorry. . . .

Mr. Arnold—And so you ought to be. You go into this
tradesman's shop, and because he wants the price for his
meat at which he sells it you commit this disgraceful as-
sault. I shall send you for ton days to prison.

GREAT WESTERN AND BRENTFORD.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at the offices, Great George-street, Westminster ;
Mr. P. Davey in the chair.
Mr. Eley, jun., the secretary, read the report. It stated
that the traffic returns, as supplied by the Great Western
Company, showed a falling off in general goods as compared
with the corresponding period of last year of 12,515 tons,
while in coal, coke, and stone there had been an increase
of 15,255 tons. The award of the arbitrators on the
question at issue between this company and the Great
Western had not yet been received, although the directors
had been unceasing in their endeavours to procure it. In
adverting to the powers proposed to be taken by the Great
Western Company by a bill now in Parliament for the pur-
chase of this railway and dock, the directors stated that,
while viewing such a proceeding with satisfaction, they were
unable to submit any proposal on the subject from the Great
Western Company. The balance of revenue account, £2,780,
would, after providing for the usual preference dividends,
admit of a dividend upon the original share capital of 24 per
cent., which dividend was accordingly recommended.
The CHAntmAN, in moving the adoption of this report,
observed that the gross tonnage for the past year showed an
increase of nearly 3,000 tons on that of 1663, and ever since
the construction of the line there had been a gradual, al-
though slow, increase of tonnage. As compared with 1862
the increase had been nearly 30,000 tons. Wherever a de-
crease had occurred it had been in goods sent into the
country. In the coal traffic there had been a large increase,
notwithstanding that they had now to compete with the
London and North-Western, which had formed a direct
communication with the coal districts in South Wales. A
line was now being constructed which would materially
reduce the distance from South Wales, and thereby prove a
great advantage to this trade. The. Great Western Company
had taken powers by a recent act for the purchase of this
railway and stock. The directors of the Brentford desired
to state openly that they were ready to entertain any offers
that they considered fair and equitable, and which they
should feel justified in recommending the shareholders to
adopt. (Hear, hear.) There could be no doubt that it
would be a most desirable purchase for the Great Western
Company. There were three or four projects before Parlia-
ment for communications with this railway, one of which
they must resist, because it sought to run over the line in a
prejudicial manner. The other two—the Acton and Brent-
ford, and the Brentford and Twickenham—they should, as
individuals, do all in their power to promote; but the com-
pany would not be put to any expense whatever for such
promotion. (Hear, hear.)

Mr. H. G. DAY seconded the motion, and the report and
accounts were unanimously adopted.
The dividends as recommended in the report were then
declared, and the retiring directors and auditors were
elected. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors
concluded the proceedings.

NEW GATE AND LEADENHALL.—These markets are fairly
supplied with meat, and the trade is steady, as follows :
Beef, from 3s Od to 4s 8d ; mutton, 3s 6d to 5s Od ; veal,
4s Od to 58 Od ; pork, 3s 4d to 58 Od per 81b by the carcase.

STATE OF TRADE.

CARDITT, Feb. 21.—Steam coal continues in good de-
ka
4,_121--, and merchants experience no lack of inquiry. Con-
'en (Ital buyers are purchasing largely, and considerable
quantities are taken by the mail packet companies, both for
their home and foreign stations. Quotations upon the
Whole are rather in favour of sellers, more especially for
steam of superior quality. The house coal proprie-
tors are full of business, and the output is still hardly
arising
to the requirements of buyers, the increased sale
118ing mainly from the cold weather. Coke for locomo-
tire
Purposes is in average request, and fairly remunera-
tive prices are obtained. The export demand for iron re-
mains. Without any material change. Very few transac-
tl°os have taken place of late on French account, and the
effect of the commercial treaty with that country has not
realised expe
k ctations. There are some orders in the mar-
it from liermany and also from the colonies and India.
,41oEsTEn, 22d.—There is a further demand for most
tass4
-s of hosiery goods usually in request at this time of
te-..e Year. The retail dealers are getting well cleared of win-
:. °eds. Business in the rural districts is without much
jaage• There is no important alteration in the price of
Yarns, Which are not much in demand. Wools are quoted
at
high rates, with a quiet market.
orrixGßAm, 22d—The lace trade for the time V the
jZar remains quiet, but it is expected that with favourable
tweather the spring trade will open well. Cotton nets sell
thut,,Bl"iy. Silk mechlins are in fair request. The German
is not brisk, but as there will be a reduction in the
c;iollverein duties on the Ist July business will then im-
-1;°:ve• The French trade is quiet, as is also the Italian.
here have been a few buyers in the market, but the cold
Ilseather prevents their purchasing to any extent. Black
;?8 are in slight request. There is very little doing in
ti:°w• edgings. The mechlin quilling trade is exceedingly
;,1 The hosiery trade is a shade more quiet. Partly
g to the very severe weather, cotton goods have not
gibeen so much looked after. Yarns are not so firm.

THAMES.

MY FIRST Nioni, n LONDON.—John Moran, a tall and
respectable looking man, was brought before Mr. Selfe
(who migrated from Westminster), charged with being
drunk and disorderly and breaking a pane of glass in the
Plough beershop, Old Ford-road, Bow.
Mr. Elias Swinney, landlord of the Plough, said the pri-
soner, who had got drunk in another house, came to his
house and made a great disturbance, upsetting everything
and abusing everybody. The prisoner made a blow at
him and struck the beer-engine, which caused an abrasion
of his knuckles and inflamed him very much. The prisoner
then became furious and struck at several persons, but was
too drunk to make correct aim. The prisoner was then
turned out of the house and dashed his fist through a pane
of glass, the value of which was 7s. 6d. He then gave the
prisoner into custody.

The prisoner, in defence, said that he arrived in London
from the country last night. It was his first night in
London.

Mr. Selfe—And you got drunk to celebrate it. You ar
fined 55., and 7s. Gd., the value of the glass.
Edward Carr, an Irishman, was charged for a similar
offence in the Town of Leith public-house, Lower East
Smithfield, where he broke four small panes of glass, and
made a great disturbance. He shouted the name of
Cardinal Wiseman several times, and it appeared that the
death of that eminent scholar had caused him to indulge
very freely in drink.
Mr. Selfe told the prisoner he ought to be ashamed of
himself to get drunk on so solemn an occasion as the death
of a dignitary of his church, and fined him ss, and 65., the
value of the glass.

MARKETS—This Day.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
Our market to-day was moderately supplied with beasts,
in fair average condition. On the whole, the beef trade
was inactive, at Monday's currency. The best Scots sold
at 5s 4d per 81b. The show of sheep was rather limited,
and most breeds moved off slowly, at previous rates. The
best Downs, in the wool, realised 6s 4d : out of the wool,
5s 2d per 81bs. Lambs were steady, at from 7s to 7s 4d
per 81bs. There was a steady sale for calves, at full prices,
viz., from 4s 6d to 5s 8d per 81b. Pigs were firm in price ;
but mulch cows were very dull.

SOLWAY JUNCTION.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Tuesday at Whitehaven, Mr. A. Brogden in the chair.
Mr. C. J. Tahourdin, the secretary, read the report, which
stated that the construction of the railway would be accom-
plished at the expense considerably within the engineer's
Parliamentary estimate. The works would commence early
in March. The proposed works for crossing the Solway still
occupied the attention of the Board of Trade.

The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report. The
shareholders, he thought, would consider that the directors
had exercised great discretion in suspending proceedings
during the late state of the money-market. They had not
lost any time, but had made good use of it, as by going
carefully over the plans and sections with the engineer they
had been able not only to improve the line, but to economise
the outlay necessary in its construction. The requisite ex-
penditure, in fact, had been brought down £5,000 below the
Parliamentary estimate and the share capital which it was
proposed to provide for its construction. Parliament this
Session had decided that they should make the line from
Abbey Holme to Brayton, and the North British were ac-
corded running powers over that portion of their scheme,
while negotiations were pending with the same company
to grant the Salway Junction running powers over their
line from Kirkbride to the Abbey. Though they had made
apparently no great progress last year the directors had
been engaged in maturing the scheme as passed in Parlia-
ment. A very satisfactory arrangement had been made with
the contractors, Messrs. Waring Brothers and Eckersley,
for the construction of the line, and the works would be
commenced at once and carried out vigorously. The works
as at present arranged would cost something like £300,000,
including land and stations, or an average cost of £12,000
per mile. It was calculated that they would require a re-
ceipt of £l5 10s. per mile to enable them to pay a dividend
of 5 per cent.

Mr. J. DEES seconded the motion, which was carried.
A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceed-
ings.

GREAT EASTERN.
It appears that every exertion is being made to push
forward this company's metropolitan station in Liverpool-
street and the suburban lines in connexion with it. In
some cases satisfactory arrangements have been made with
landowners and owners of house property for taking imme-
diate possession. Contracts for the works have been let,
and instructions given to proceed with the utmost vigour
in order that no time may be lost in affording the accom-
modation and convenience so much needed to develope the
resources of this company's railways. The present station
at Shoreditch is to be made available for the accommoda-
tion of goods and mineral traffic.
London, England, 1865-02-23

LEEDS, BRADFORD, AND HALIFAX.

The report stated that the dividend to be paid for the
past half-year, ended Dec. 31, added to that of 3 per cent.
paid for the half-year ending June last, would make the
dividend for the year at the rate of £7 2s. 6d. per cent., or
the same as the average dividendof the Great Northern for
the year 1864. The sum of £27,000 would be added to the
capital account, chiefly paid for works on the Batleybranch.
The cost of constructing the Bowling siding (£1,228) had
also been placed to the capital. During the past half-year
important enlargements, required by increasing traffic, had
been made at the Bradford station. In conjunction with the
Great Northern Board, a bill had been again presented to
Parliament for power to amalgamate this company with
the Great Northern. The construction of the proposed
branch to the Lancashire and Yorkshire station at Brad-
ford would be commenced shortly.
London, England, 1865-02-23

DUBLIN AND BELFAST JUNCTION.

The report of the directors states that the total receipts
for the year 1864 amounted to £65,434, and for the year
1863 to £65,211, showing a small increase of £223. The
total income of the company for the half-year ending the 31st
December last amounted to £39,406 ; the working expenses
to £12,478, being less than 33 per cent. of the receipts, and
the total expenditure £22,490, leaving a profit of £16,216,
out of which the directors recommended a dividend at the
rate of per cent. per annum, less income tax, leaving a
balance of £1,630, which added to £6,925 brought from the
preceding account, would make £8,555 to meet any loss
there might be on the sale of the Government stock held
by the company. Since the last half-yearly meeting the
Newry and Armagh Company's extension to Armagh had
been opened for traffic, and it was satisfactory to state
that the general receipts of the company had improved,
notwithstanding that the traffic of the district inter-
sected by that extension had to some extent been
diverted from the section of the company's line north
of Goragh Junction. Further progress had been made
with the remodelling of the portion of the line laid
with Barlow rails, and it was expected that within the
current year it would be most substantially renewed_
throughout its entire length. The report of Mr. D. J.
Rowan, the engineer, stating that the total quantity of de-
cayed sleepers replaced since 1859 was about 36,000, or an
average of 7,200 yearly. The broad-flange (or Barlow)
section of road, which had been for the most part modified
by timbering and other improvements, gave every satisfac-
tion, and justified the extra outlay he (Mr. Rowan) had
recommended. The bridges and works on the line were in
sound condition. The expenditure on capital account
amounted to £1,077,846, leaving a balance of £3,024.

RAILWAY BILLS.
Yesterday, before Mr. Frere, the following bills were de-
clared to have complied with the standing orders :
GREENocx.—For the construction of railways from
Greenock to the Glasgow and South Western and Bridge
of Weir Railways. Capital £300,000 ; loan, £lOO,OOO, with
power to Glasgow and South Western to contribute £150,000.
VENTNOR AND BONCHITIICH.—For a tramway between
those places in the Isle of Wight.
The Bill for the Bembridge railway and Pier was with-
drawn.

Other cases were partly heard and adjourned.
SELECT COMMITTEES ON STANDING ORDERS.—Yesterday
the committee reported that in the case of the Crystal
Palace Railway Company's Bill for new lines the promoters
might be permitted to proceed with their Bill, provided cer-
tain notices were published. In the case of the London and
North Western (new works, Wales and Ireland) the com-
mittee report that the promoters may proceed with their
Bill, provided that all powers relating to the construction of
Nos. 1,2, 3, and 7 railways be struck out of the Bill. The
committee report the same decision as regards railways No.
2,3, 4,5, 6, and 9, proposed for the North of England
Union Railway.
Between 200 and 300 petitions for and against railway
Bills were presented during yesterday and Tuesday.

THE WRECK OF THE lOWA STEAMER.--A number
of the officers and crew of the late screw steamer lowa,
which was wreckell off Cherbourg some weeks ago while
on her outward voyage from London to New York, arrived
at Southampton yesterday in two pilot vessels from Cher-
bourg. All attempts to raise the wreck have as yet failed,
and the crew have now abandoned her, leaving the matter
in the hands of the insurance companies concerned.
