RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

HAMMERSMITH AND CITY.

A special general meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the Great Western Railway Sta-
tion, Paddington ; Mr. Foulkes in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN said he had to move a resolution
authorizing the creation of 10,000 shares of £lO
each under the Company's Act, 1865, at a fixed pre-
ferential dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum
in perpetuity. The additional capital of £lOO,OOO
was required by the Great Western and Metropolitan
companies for the purpose of completing the
line and making additional and better station ac-
commodation. This was a matter that could not pre-
judice the interest of the shareholders in any way,
because the 5 per cent. on the additional capital was
guaranteed by the Great Western and Metropolitan
companies. The agreement between the companies
was still incomplete, but the dividends had been
paid as if it had been completed. The lawyers on
both sides were making every effort to complete the
agreement forthwith.

The resolution was unanimously adopted, and the
proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the

chairman.

UXBRIDGE AND RICKMANSWORTH.

The adjourned general meeting of this company
was held yesterday at the office,Westminster-cham-
bers, Victoria-street ; Lord Ebury in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said that two adjournments of the
ordinary meeting had been held, and, as a satisfac-
tory arrangement had been come to with the Great
Western Railway Company, he proposed that the
report of the directors be received and adopted.
Mr. CAREY seconded the motion.

Captain BULKELEY explained that the agreement
between the two companies was not executed at the
last meeting, and an adjournment had been carried
by him and Mr. Ogilvie to that day. In the inter-
val he was happy to say that deputations had met,
the agreement between the two companies had been
exchanged, and therefore he had no opposition to
offer to the proposition from the chair.
The motion of the Chairman—the formal ap-
proval of the report—was carried unanimously, and
the proceedings terminated.

THE GAS SUPPLY.

Dr. LETHEBY stated that the illuminating power
of the gas as supplied to the city during the week
had been constantly above the requirements of the
Act of Parliament ; but the average proportion of
sulphur in the case of each of the companies had ex-
ceeded the amount sanctioned by Parliament.

After transacting some further business, the com-
missioners adjourned.

THE EASTERN FISHERIES.---During the last day or
two there have been large deliveries of herrings at
Groat Yarmouth, one boat having come in with 16} lasts
(or 217,800 herrings), while another belonging to tho same
owners landed nine lasts. Those cargoes were worth be-
tween them £520. Other Tuggers have landed from four to
12 lasts each. Prices have ranged from £ll to £2l 15s.
per last (13,20.0 fish). A cheering report has also been re-
ceived from Lowestoft. The Great Yarmouth town-council
proposes to apply to Parliament next session for powers to
construct an extensive fish wharf ; the wharf (with certain
warehouses) will, when completed, be handed over to the
Great Eastern Railway Company, which has arranged to
lease the undertaking on terms that will meet the interest
accruing on the capital engaged in the work.

Count and Lady Cecil de la Feld have arrived at
Feldenstein, near Richmond, from st. Lonardg-ou-Sea.

WESTMINSTER.

James Wren, Maurice Hannifant, and John Donovan,
all well known to the police, were charged with stealing a
large quantity of lead from a house in Peter-street, West-
minster.

The case is one involving considerable difficulty with
regard to the finding the rightful owner of some property
in Peter-street, Westminster, and the various parties who
have laid claim to the possession—Irish factions—have for
some time past kept the neighbourhood in a state of great
turmoil aid excitement. One Moody has held possession
of the house No. 4, Peter-street, for the last eight years
without paying rent, but has lately been ejected by
county court process. Taking forcible possession
again, however, with a great body of men, Moody
again reinstated himself, and then one James
Childs, a broker, of 5, Robert's-buildings, Ebury-square,
Pimlico, appears on the scene, with a document drawn up
by himself, and addressed by him to himself, purporting to
be signed by three parties who laid claim to the house.
With this not-to-be-called legal document, authorising him
to recover possession, Childs, with a body of 17 men (two
police constables looking on witnessing the assault),
attacked the house, containing 40 of Moody's faction, and,
after a desperate fight, in which many heads were broken,
the broker's party forced their way in, and forced out the
defenders. They built up a wall to keep out Moody and
his faction, which was broken down as soon as built up,
and Moody's party again obtained possession, being in their
turn ejected. Yesterday evening Police-constable Lewis,
69 B, and Bloomfield, 248 A, went into the house and
up stairs, where two of the prisoners and another
were found, and a quantity of lead stripped from the roof.
The constables endeavoured to secure them, but they
escaped, and Bloomfield had his head cut open. A couple
of hours after two of the prisoners were stopped in Tothill-
street by Regan, 361 B, who took them into custody for
having part of the lead concealed on their person.

The prisoners said they took the load to get some money
for a candle. They were part of the broker's faction, and
he employed them.
They were remanded till Friday week.

SANATORY CONDITION OF THE CITY.

Dr. LETIIEBY reported that 48 deaths had been
registered in the City during the past week. This
number was much less than the average for the
corresponding period of the last ten years, which
amounted to 57. 18 of the deaths were among
children of less than five years of age, and 10 were
among persons of 60 and upwards. The chief causes
of death were as follows :—Phthisis 5, mesenteric
disease 5, pneumonia 4, bronchitis 3, continued
fever 2, scarlet fever 3, whooping-cough 1,
and infantile diarrhcea I—making together 10
deaths from tubercular diseases, 7 from inflamma-
tory affection of the lungs, and only 7 from diseases
of a zymotic character.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The supply of beasts on sale here to-day was moderate,
but chiefly in middling condition. All breeds were in fair
request at Monday's currency. The best Scots and crosses
realised ss. 4d. per 81bs. With sheep we were fairly sup-
plied. The sale for them was by no means active ; never-
theless, the quotations were well supported. The best
Downs sold at 6s. Bd. per 81bs. Calves, the show of which
was rather limited, were unaltered in value. The cur-
rencies for veal ranged from 4s. 6d. to ss. 6d. per 81bs. The
sale for pigs was heavy, at about stationary prices—viz.,
from 4s. to 58. Bd. per 81bs. Milch cows were very dull.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING.—WEDNESDAY.
A continuation of the fine weather and the attractions
of a steeplechase brought more people to Aintree this morn-
ing, still the attendance was nothing very extraordinary.
The Welter Cup was won very easily by The Plover, who
mado all the running and was never approached.
The Liverpool Nursery saw Tormentor repeat her yes-
terday's performances in the Sefton, but there was an ob-
jection to the winner made by Mr. Hodgman (whose colt
Venturer got badly off), on the ground of a " flying start."
The objection will be gone into by the Stewards.
The Sefton Handicap is generally the chief object of in-
terest on the second day, bringing on a good field, and
causing a good deal of speculation. Lord S tamford's Gamma,
favourably weighted at Bst 21b, was made the favourite,
and Fordham, getting awayon good terms with his horses,
had them all beaten at the Stand, and won easily by half a
length, with only Skylark and Holstein near him.
The Grand Sefton Steeplechase was an unusually bril-
liant affair, 19 runners being telegraphed, among them
some of the best of the present rathermoderatelot of cross-
country performers can furnish, including L. S. D., an im-
portation from Ireland, of whom great expectations were
formed, not to be realised on this occasion. Ace of Hearts
and Church Militant were the two favourites, and the
latter, always lying in a favourable position, passed his
horses at the Canal turn, and won in a canter by six
lengths.
Maiden Plate of 50 soya, for 2-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 101 b ;
fillies and geldings, Bst 71b. The winner to be sold for

English hops move off steadily, and the supply on offer
being small, prices rule high. The best foreign hops aro
in steady request at full currencies.

OUR COLONIAL FISHERIES.

It may interest our readers to know the great ex-
tent of the colonial fisheries, the population (omit-
ting Canada West) being about two and a half
millions ; the annual returns giving more than one
pound's worth of fish exported per head. The
quantities cured in 1860 were (not including Canada
or Labrador)—
Dried cod
Mackarel
Shad

• 1,497,697 quintals.
... 131,184 barrels.
▪ 7,649 „
... 357,379 „
... 35,557 boxes.
... 12,505 barrels.
5,405 tierces.
1, smoked ... 2,738 „
While the exports of fish from Great Britain were
£878,000 in 1860, those from Ireland were under
£3,000, while we imported £BO,OOO of herrings.
If the Fishery Commissioners would give returns
similar to those made in the colonies, we could form
some opinion as to the value and position of the
trade, but we are quite in the dark. It is to be hoped
that the fish curing of Norway, Denmark, the United
States, France, and our colonies will be represented
at our National Exhihition. There is a mine of
wealth in the sea. Our people do not require fixity
of tenure or a landlord and tenant bill to catch
them, but only industry. The merchants, shore-
keepers, and farmers have money enough if they
would only imitate the Cornishmen and Scotch.
Returns might be annually made to Parliament of
the quantities of the various kinds of fish cured, as
well as the value of those saved fresh.—Sliyo Inde-
pendent.

CENTRAL NORTHUMBERLAND.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
Alnwick, on Saturday ; Sir H. St. Paul was in the chair.
The report stated that immediately after the August meet-
ing the requisite amount of share capital was subscribed,
enabling the directors to proceed with two sections of the
line—viz., from Cornhill to Woolar, and from Rothbury to
Scots Gap; but some misunderstanding having arisen be-
tween them and the contractors some further delay must
still be endured. The adoption of the report was moved
by the chairman and seconded by Mr. Hodgson, M.P., and
agreed to, after a long discussion on the matter in dispute
with the contractors. Earl Grey, Sir H. St. Paul, and Sir
W. Trevelyan were re-elected directors, and the proceedings
terminated.

BLYTH AND TYNE.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
Newcastle on Monday ; Mr. J. Laycock in the chair.
The report was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, congratulated
themeeting upon the highly satisfactory state of the revenue
from all sources. The Newcastle and Tynemouth branch
had been appreciated by the public, though the third-class
traffic had not quite come up to their expectation, but would
probably, when the new station was opened at Tynemouth
next summer.

The report was seconded and adopted.
Dividends on the 10 per cent. preference stock, on the 5
per cent. preference stock and shares, and also at the rate
of 9 per cent. per annum on the ordinary stock and shares
were declared. The retiring directors, Messrs. Laycock and
J. Grey, were re-elected, and also Mr. D. Dillon, the retir-
ing auditor.

The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the
chairman and directors.

FI7RNESS.
Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was
held at the offices, 9, Old Burlington-street, the Duke of
Devonshire in the chair.

Mr. Ramsden, the secretary, read the report, which stated
that the directors had the pleasure of submitting a very
favourable report of the traffic for the past half-year, and
they recommended that a dividend at the rate of 10 per
cent. per annum be declared. The report of the engineers,
Messrs. 31‘Lean and Stileman, showed the progress made
with the Barrow Docks and with the works on the Furness
and Midland Railway. Considerable additions had been
made to the rolling stock during the half-year, and charged
to revenue account. The general manager reported that
the permanent way and works were in a high state of effi-
ciency. The balance-sheet showed a total receipt of
£1,514,192, and a balance of £19,231. The revenue for
the half-year showed a receipt of £89,053, and a balance
applicable to dividend of £24,474.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, the report was unani-
mously adopted.
The chairman and Mr. Howard were re-elected directors,
and Mr. Currey auditor.

This Company has been formed for the purpose of con-
structing a Canal Basin, with Wharves and Warehouses ad-
joining, in the immediate vicinity of the Victoria Railway
Bridge at Battersea.
The abjects of the undertaking are two-fold : - firstly, to
supply good Wharf and Warehouse accommodation to the
south-western district of the Thames ; and secondly, to ac-
commodate the traffic of the various railways which converge
to the point at which the Wharves will be situated.
The want of good wharf and warehouse accommodation has
been long felt in this district, and still more severely since
the demolition of the Grosvenor Canal, by which a long line
of water frontage has been made to disappear.
The construction of the Thames Embankment will also
sweep away not less than two and a half miles of Wharves,
and as a consequence almost entirely close up the water way
to the several Warehouses lying along its course.
The Railway Companies which will have access to the
Wharves are the folio vying :—The Great Western, the Lon-
don and North Western, the Great Northern, the South
Western, the London, Brighton, and South Coast, the Lon-
don, Chatham, and Dover, and the Metropoliian.
The site selected for the Wharves is the only spot in the
metropolis where a large area of land abutting on tie Thames
can be obtained at a moderate cost. Nearly halt the land re-
quired, viz , 26 acres, has already been purchased on favour-
able terms, and possession obtained, and it is proposed to
commence the works immediately.
