The retiring directors and auditors were reappointed.

MARYPORT AND CARLISLE.
The directors' report states that the receipts for the half
year ending the 31st of December amounted to £42,529, and
for the corresponding half of 1863 to £38,072, showing an
increase of £4,457. The expenditure for the past half-year
amounted to £17,176,
against £14,854, showing an increase
of £2,322. The balance for the half year, after carrying £5O
to the contingency account, was £22,582, which enabledthe
directors to recommend a dividend on the ordinary shares
at the rate of 11 per cent. per annum, and on the pre-
ference shares according to their respective guarantees.
The works on the Bolton and Wigton Branches had made
satisfactory progress. The bill for the proposed branch from
the Bullgill station to join the several railways in the
valley of the Derwent had passed the examiners on Stand-
ing Orders. During some months past the directors had
made overtures to the Boards of tho neighbouring railways
for a union of interests on a broad and comprehensive
principle, "by which the property of shareholders would be
rendered more secure, and the extension of a liberal policy
towards other railways and to the public generally would
be initiated. The expenditure on main line capital account
amounted to £555,000, and. on new branch account to
£33,716.

leaving a balance of £2,155. The works of the City Ex-
tension line were now rapidly approaching completion.
An agreement had been entered into with the London and
North-Western Company, under which the control of the
Hampstead Junction was transferred to the North London
Company. The sanction of the proprietors would be re-
quired to the raising of the additional capital, £300,000,
authorised by the City Extension Act, 1861, which it was
proposed to effect by the issue of ordinary shares.
Mr. W. BAKER, the engineer, stated in his report that he
was using every exertion for the completion of the works,
and the opening of the railway in the ensuing summer. The
capital account showed that £2,368,660 had been expended.

LISKTIARD AND CARADON.

The annual meeting of this company was held at Liskeard
Wednesday ; Mr. Chymo presided.

The CHAIRMAN stated that the balance in the hands of
the treasurer was £1,857, out of which was to be paid a
dividend of 5 per cent. This showed a decrease on last
year's balance of £915, which was in a great measure ac-
counted for by an unusually large outlay for the renewal of
stock.

The report was unanimously adopted, and a dividend at
the rate of 5 per cent. declared.
Messrs. Elliot and Geach, the retiring directors, were re-
elected.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The trade for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday ruled steady. In prices, no changes of importance
took place. There was a fair demand for most descriptions
of spring corn, and previous quotations were steadily sup-
ported. The flour trade was steady, at late rates.
Tho state of the corn trade, both on the Continent and
in America, continues inactive, and prices have a drooping
tendency.

way. New P.Y.C. is quoted at 40s. 9d. per cwt. on the
spot. Town tallow commands 41s. 6d. net cash. Rough
fat remains quoted at 28. 2d. per 81bs. •

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The show of foreign beasts in to-day's market was mode-
rate; sheep and calves, limited. Sales progressed steadily,
and the quotations had an upward tendency.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts, as well as from Scotland, were tolerably good,
and, for the most part, in prime condition. Nearly all breeds
met a slow inquiry, and in some instances prices were a
shade lower than on Monday last. However, the best
Scots and crosses produced 5s 4d per 81bs. The supply
of beasts from Ireland was very middling,

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 2,200 Scots and crosses; from other parts of Eng-
land, 700 various breeds; from Scotland, 385 Scots and
crosses ; and from Ireland, 110 oxen and'heifers.
The show of sheep was very limited, but in full average
condition. About one-third of the supply was out of the
wool. The mutton trade was active, at an advance in the
quotations of fully 2s per 81bs. Downs, in the wool realised
Gs 4d per 81bs. Some half-bred tegs, with prime skins,
changed hands at 6s 6d, and even 6s 8d per 81bs. The top
figure for clipped sheep was 5s 2d to, in some cases, 5s 4d
per 81bs.
The few lambs on offer readily produced 7s to 7s 4d
per 81bs. _ _ _

Calves were in short supply and good request on higher
terms. The top price was 5s 8d per 81bs.
The pork trade was firm, at enhanced quotations.

BOROUGH HOP.

There has been a good demand for English hops since
our last report, and all qualities have changed hands at
fully late rates. Good and fine foreign hops are in fair
average request, and prices rule firm. Inferior foreign
hops, however, command very little attention. The import
into London last week was 6 bales from Antwerp, 74 from
Ostend, 338 from Bremen, 14 from Rotterdam, and 25 from
Dunkirk.

THAMES.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—Thomas Shea, aged 20, and
Matthew Campbell, 21, Cockney Irish, who are well
known to the police, and were described as dangerous
men, were charged with violently assaulting Wm. John
Shomey, a cabdriver.

The complainant's face was contused, his eyes swollen
and blackened, and there were six surgical plasters on his
head and face. He stated that ho was standing on the
threshold of a beer and refreshment house in the Commer-
cial-road, three doors from the Stepney railway station,
when the prisoner accosted him, pulled his nose, and took
his hat away. Ho asked what was meant by that, and
Shea knocked him down, and when he was down both
prisoners kicked him about the head, body, and face.
Campbell also took his strap and badge away. He got up,
bleeding profusely from the head and face. Shea knocked
him down again and swore at him. The language was
fearful, and he believed he should have been murdered if
the bystanders had not interfered. He gave no provoca-
tion whatever to the prisoners, and ho had never seen
them before. There was a third man with the prisoners
who also struck him, and made his escape.
Mr. G. Hoyles, son of a Lincolnshire farmer, and Mr.
Hider, a licensed victualler, confirmed the statement of the
ecnome,paleaidnan, thatt athned
esaahiddrtihva the

and bleeding copiously. The wounds were caused by kicks.
Edward Dillon, a police sergeant, 19 K, said he found
the cabman bleeding very much from wounds, and he de-
scribed the three men who had beaten him. He found the
prisoners in a publichouse, and both tried to make their
escape. After he had taken them into custody he had much
trouble with them. They attempted to run away, they
swore and blasphemed terribly, and run away twice. Both
had been frequently punished for violent assaults, and were
drunken and disorderly fellows.
The Magistrates said the prisoners were bad and dange-
rousa men, and had assaulted an unoffending
man
worst in
o f
most brutal manner. Shea appeared to

WEST RIDING AND GRIMSBY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Wednesday at Wakefield; Mr. R. Winn in the chair.
The report stated that the directors expected that this
would be the last meeting of shareholders that would be
held before the line was opened for public traffic. The
works for the Westgate station would shortly be let and
temporary station accommodation in the first instance would
be provided. The directors proposed to issue shares to the
extent of £57,500 towards the construction of the Westgate
station. The capital account showed that £282,023 had
been expended.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
stated that the works had been done in a satisfactory and
substantial manner. Under the contract the contractors
were liable to a penalty of £l,OOO a month for every month
that exceeded 21 months. This time had expired about the
end of last year, and it would be for the directors to consi-
der what should be done to protect the interests of the
shareholders. The board had deposited a bill in Parlia-
ment for a new line from Althorpe to Lincoln, with a view
to secure the ironstone traffic. The Sheffield Company
had granted them running powers to Keadby, where the
new line was to commence. The line proposed by the
Lancashire and Yorkshire and Great Eastern was the one
most seriously affecting them. The board had thought
after what took place between them and the Great Eastern
last year that the latter ought not to have brought any new
scheme forward without consulting them in the matter.
(Hear, hear.) He concluded by moving the adoption of the
report.

Mr. E. TEW seconded the motion, and it was carried.
Mr. E. A. Leatham, Mr. R. B. Mackie, and Mr. Alderman
Kelsall, the retiring directors, were then re-elected, as was
also Mr. Illingworth, one of the auditors.
The meeting was then made special, and the issue of
£57,000 of new shares for the station at Wakefield was au-
thorised.

the effect of circumstantial evidence, and to show how often

NORTH DEVON.

The report of the directors states that the provisions of
the Act passed in the last session authorising the amalga-
mation of the company with the London and South West-
ern Railway Company came into operation on the Ist of
January last; accordingly notices have been sent to the
registered shareholders for the conversioh of their shares
into ordinary consolidated stock of the South-Western Com-
pany in the following proportions :—For every £lOO North
Devon ordinary stock, £49 of the South-Western ordinary
stock; for every £lOO North Devon A stock, £l9 12s of the
South-Western ordinary stock ; and for every £lOO North
Devon B stock, £9B of the South-Western ordinary stock.
The directors had been engaged in winding up the com-
pany's affairs, and there were now only a few outstanding
matters which would be settled as early as practicable,
when the company would cease to exist. The balance on
revenue account was £2,751, out of which provision must
be made for the necessary current expenses, and the re-
mainder would be distributed as final dividend to the pro-
prietors. A dividend at the rate of 13s. per cent. would
absorb £2,004, and leave £747 to meet various expenses.
The capital account showed that £503,995 had been ex-
pended, leaving a balance of £347 to meet costs relating to
land purchases.

LEEDS, NORTH YORKSHIRE, AND DURHAM.
A large and important meeting was held at Helmsley on
Tuesday, and a still larger meeting was held at Kirby-
Moorside on Wednesday, to further the views of the pro-
moters of this undertaking. At the Helmsley meeting Mr.
M'Laughlin (agent to Lord Feversham) presided, and at
the Kirby meeting the chair was taken by Mr. Jos. Smith.
Messrs. Featherstone, Phillips, Hall, and other speakers
dwelt upon the several advantages this line possesses over
the North-Eastern loop scheme, and resolutions were una-
nimously carried to the effect that every exertion should
be used to promote the formation of this line. Petitions to
Parliament were adopted in both cases, and signed by most
of the gentlemen present. It was also resolved that simi-
