SHIPWRECK ON THE IRISH COAST.—HOWTII,
DUBLIN BAT, Monday Night.—At daylight this
morning (reports C. Hughes, Esq., P. N., Inspecting Chief
Officer of the Coast Guard) a ship was observed to be on
shore under Port Marnock Tower, near the entrance of
lialahide River. The Howth lifeboat of the National Life-
boat Institution was manned as quickly as possible, and
proceeded at onto to the wreck, which proved to be the
Ocean Ranger, apparently of Greenock. A heavy sea from
S.E. washing completely over the vessel made it dangerous
to board her; the coxswain satisfied himself before leaving
the wreck that the crew had been landed previously, and
that uo person remained on board. It is earnestly hoped
that the crew of the ship reached the shore during the
night in safety. The crew of the lifeboat were much ex-
hausted by the time they got back to Howth, having to
pull five or six miles dead to windward against a consi-
derable sea.

ing of Lieut.-Col. the Earl of Mount-Charles, pre-

Guards; and Lieut. Luard, RE., sat at the Cavalry-
barracks, Spital, near Windsor, for the yurpose of
considering when the troopers of the regiment should
take possession of their new quarters in the north
wing. It has, it is understood, been considered that
the quarters will not be ready for the men to sleep in
for another fortnight, and, although they may pro-
bably be used a little during the day, it is not anti-
cipated that the non-commissioned officers and
troopers will occupy the new rooms for sleeping pur-
poses before next week.
A troop of the 13th Hussars has left Norwich for
Ipswich, which is to be their winter quarters. There
are now two troops of the regiment in Ipswich Bar-
racks, under the command of Capt. AVIV ell.

CANADA.

MONTREAL, Nov. 4.
The Fenian excitement continues, and the Go-
vernment is reported to be preparing for the defence
of the frontier.

The Toronto Leader asserts that Mr. Perreault, a
member of the Canadian Parliament, has addressed
the people at Sorrel. He said that the Fenian
movement was caused by British tyranny. The
Fenians would invade Canada in the course of the
winter, and hold the Upper Provinces.
Intelligence from. Toronto states that the city is
picketed. Numerous private soldiers had been
arrested in that city for sympathy with the Fenians.
Orangemen were arriving for the defence of the
district.

It is reported that the Canadian Fenians have a
large steamer ready for armament, and that nume-
rous Government officials are engaged in the con-
spiracy.

Haymarket Theatre.

Last evening a lively farce, which we imagine
formed a portion of the luggage of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Mathews when they quitted Paris, was
performed for the first time at this theatre. It is
entitled " Who Killed Cock Robin ?" the fun being
produced by the dilemma into which an obliging
friend finds himself in conveying a fictitious report
of the death of Mr. Cock Robin to his affianced
bride, a Mexican lady (Mrs. Charles Mathews),
who has a large quantity of fire and impetuosity in
her composition. Jack Raggett, a lively fellow, is the
character our great English comedian impersonates,
and he is so pleased with the dash and spirit of the
lady that, on hearing of the death of her lover, he
actually woos and marries her himself. He soon
repents his surrender of freedom, as the Mexican
lady for a time does everything he objects to and
dislikes. They eventually become reconciled,
and vow never to quarrel again. The act-
ing of Mr. Mathews can so well be imagined that
we need only say that it was of the usual rare ex-
cellence. Mrs. Mathews capitally sustained her
part ; and Mr. Chippendale sustained the frightened
father of the gushing young lady to the life. The
farce was, of course, a decided success.

Another Forgery of Russian Bank Notes•

Late this afternoon five foreigners were placed before
the magistrate at the Lambeth Police-court, charged with
being in possession of a large quantity of forged Russian
bank-notes for five roubles each. The prisoners were ap-
prehended by Inspector James Thomson, of the Detective
Police, and Sergeant Mulvany, at a house in
Russell-street, Camberwell New-road. The men were
found sitting in a room, and when the police entered they
secured a carpet bag, in which the forged notes were dis-
covered. Mr. Herd, an employe of the Russian Consul in
England, proved that the notes were forgeries, and that
they had been struck from a plate which was very coarsely
executed. The police also found in the house a, box
containing a quantity of engravers' tools. The solicitor
who appeared for the prisoners denied that they knew
anything of the contents of the bag which had been left
there by other persons. Inspector Thomson said he
should be prepared on another occasion with evidence
which ho thought would bring home the charge to some of
the, prisoners, and therefore ho applied for a remand, which
was granted. The magistrate, however, said he would take
bail in £2OO for each of the prisoners, with the exception
of the occupier of the apartment in which the forged notes
were found.

In the present instance tho notes aro quite distinct from
the case now under investigation at the Marlborough-street
Police-court, which, it will be recollected, were for 50
roubles each, and were struck by the photographic pro-
cess.

STRATFORD-LPON-AVON.

The report of the directors states that the total
traffic for the half-year ending the 30th of June
last had not been so large as for the corresponding
half of 18G4, the decrease being chiefly in the pas-
senger traffic, and this was accounted for by the
celebration of the birth of Shakspere in the corre-
sponding half of last year. On the other hand,
there was an increase in- the mercantile traffic.
The balance, after making allowance for interest on
debentures and preference shares, working and
other expenses, amounted for the half-year ending
the 30th of June last to £1,027, which, with a
balance of £9O, made £1,117 available for dividend
on the ordinary shares. This balance would admit
of a dividend at the rate of 7s. per share, or £3 10s.
per cent. per annum, leaving a small balance.

SEVERN VALLEY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the office in Victoria-street, Westmin-
ster—Mr. Packing,ton in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN said he had no formal report to
submit. The line was very satisfactorily worked by
the Great Western Company, and the rent was duly
paid. Ile then moved that a dividend at the rate of
4i per cent. per annum on the preference shares,
and of 4 per cent. on the ordinary stock, be declared.
The resolution was agreed to, and the proceedings
closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

COLNE VALLEY AND HALSTEAD.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
on Tuesday at Halstead, Mr. J. Brewster in the
chair.

An abstract of the report has appeared in The Sun.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, alluded to
the unsuccessful attempt made by the company last
session to obtain a bill for further capital and run-
ning powers ; the former was agreed to, but the
latter was refused, much to the injury of the public
and the poor unfortunate Colne Valley line. He
also referred to the bad accommodation afforded by
the Great Eastern, and contended that the Colne
Valley line had never been fairly utilised ; if it had,
the receipts would have been very much increased.

Mr. PAYNE, a director, seconded the motion for
the adoption of the report.
Mr. CARDINALL recommended that the line should
be leased to the Great Eastern, who were bound to
take it at 50 per cent. of the receipts.
The CHAIRMAN said the subject had been well
considered by a committee who were managing the
affairs of the company, and it was thought better
not to make the arrangement at present.

The report was adopted, and the proceedings
closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

NENVQITAY AND CORNWALL JUNCTION.

The half-yearly meeting was held at St. Austell
on Tuesday, Mr. Martin in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, referred with much pleasure to the present
position of the company. The works were being car-
ried on in a most spirited manner, and the line would
in all probability be opened some time between
January next and Lady-day. The traffic in clay,
&c., which they could reasonably expect must re-
turn a satisfactory dividend.
The report was adopted, and the directors were
empowered to negotiate for leasing the line, or
such part or parts of it w might from time to time
open, to any company Og to work the same
on satisfactory terms.
A vote of thanks to the chail
...man closed the pro-
ceedings.

MID-WALES.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the offices, Ethelburga-house, Bishops-
gate-street ; Mr. G. H. Whalley, M.P., in the
chair.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the tdoption of the
report, said the position of the company was so
favourable that there was no necessity for a speech
from him, further than to state that the transfer to
the contractors, who had become the lessees, had
been completed pursuant to the powers of the Act
of Parliament, and the line was now being worked
by them. It was a matter of congratulation to the
shareholders that the traffic on the line was steadily
increasing, and that it would still further increase
as the company extended its working arrangements,
and exercised its rights of running over the lines of
neighbouring companies.
The report was unanimously adopted, and on the
motion of the Chairman a dividend at the rate of 5
per cent. per annum was declared on the preference
shares, and
.4 per cent. on the ordinary shares.

A vote of thanks to the chairman -and directors
concluded the proceedings.

BRECON AND MERTHYR.

The Bargoed branch of this line was now cow
pleted for passenger traffic, and the company were
only waiting the Board of Trade inspection before
commencing to run passenger trains. This branch
would complete the narrow-gauge railway commu-
nication between Liverpool, Manchester, and North
Wales, and Brecon, Merthyr, and Newport.

NORTHERN OF FRANCE.

The traffic receipts on this company's line for the
week ending the 12th of August amounted on the
old and new lines to £67,721, and for the cor-
responding week last year to £59,134, show-
ing an increase of £8,587. The total re-
ceipts from the Ist of January to the above date
amounted to £1,837,684, against £1,704,788 for the
corresponding period of last year, showing an in-
crease of £132,896.

WEST LONDON WHARVES. •
The half-yearly
held on Tuesday at the Lroyd in the chair.
The report, an abstract
The Sun, was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the
meeting of this company was
oonfdvionhi'crhavhern, Mr. Hol-
:appeared. in
adoption of the
report, said at the last meeting it was determined
to proceed with the construction of the wharves and
docks, but an opportunity had since been afforded
them of purchasing more property, which would be
of great advantage to the company, as it would
enable them to obtain a much better frontage to
the river. The directors had accordingly made the
necessary arrangements for the purchase of the pro-
perty. Ile believed that in 12 months they would
be enabled to commence business, and to carry it
on as the works progressed. In answer to a ques-
tion he said the preliminary expenses amounted to
£20,000, including the cost of three opposed Acts
of Parliament. The promoters had £B,OOO, out of
which they had to pay the expenses of the first Act. ,

The report was adopted, and a vote of thanks to
the chairman closed the proceedings.

SOUTHAMPTON DOCK.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the offices, Bishopsgate•street,
Mr. C. Capper in the chair.
The Secretary read the report, which stated that
the net revenue for the half-year, after payment of
interest on the debenture debt, the preference divi-
dends, working expenses, repairs, &c., amounted
to £6,761, and, with the sum of £846 brought
from the preceding half-year, to £7,607, which
would allow of a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent.
per annum, leaving £4OO. The directors regretted
to announce the loss of the late chairman, Colonel
Barlow. The business during the half-year had
been, on the whole, satisfactory-, for though there
had been a falling off in the business as regarded
the export of specie and the trade with America,
the import trade had increased very considerably.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, stated that the earnings of the import trade
had increased by £2,006, at an increased cost of
£722 ; while the export-trade showed a decrease of
£640 on two items—the export of specie and the
American trade. The directors were in hopes of
adding to the emigration trade from the docks, but
the fact was the town charges and other dues, extra
the docks, were so high as to prevent this. As com-
pared with Portsmouth the charges were £6O or £7O
more to each ship. The property was, however,
increasing in value.

The report was adopted, and a dividend was de-
clared at the rate of £4 per cent. per annum.
The proceedings concluded with thanks to the
auditors, and the chairman and directors.

COUNTRY MARKETS

LYNN-2-T lIESDAY.
At to-day's market the attendance of growers was small;
the quantity of old wheat showing was small, and an ad-
vance of is per qr. was readily realised upon the current
rates of last week. There was more new offering, and the
quality was various ; prices ranged from 42s to 48s per qr.
New wheat, 42s to 48s ; new red, 42s to 448; old white,
48s to 52s ; •ld red, 478 to 48s per 36 stone. Barley for

SALISBURY.—TUESDAY.
At to-day's market a small supply of wheat was offered,
some of the samples, particularly of now, being out of con-
dition. The demand was by no means inactive, and busi-
ness was done in both old and new, at last week's rates.
In barley there was not much doing. Oats ruled about the
same as a week ago, but the tendency of prices was to-day
more in favour of buyers. In beans and peas the transac-
tions were limited, but previous quotations were main-
tained. For flour there was no very great demand, 38s per
sack being the top price, and 32s the lowest.
The following are the quotations :—Wheat realised from
38s to 52s ; barley, 26s to 32s ; oats, 22s to 308 ; beans, 40s
to 50s ; and peas, 34s to 42s per qr. Tares, from 6s to 7s

At our market to-day there was a fair show of English
wheat, but little or no business done by holders asking
more money. Barley in good demand, and prices main-
tained.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
on Saturday at the office, Gracechurch-street ; Mr.
F. W. Sedgwick in the chair.

Mr. 11. W. Wood, the secretary, read the'report,
wructirstaceic mac. cf.., C 4,11 C,S• G.1.4171t,
of the past half-year as compared with the corre-
sponding half of last year, amounting to about 8
per cent., and the first six weeks' revenue of the
current half-year, as compared with the correspond-
ing six weeks of the previous year, showed an in-
crease of 30 per cent. The result of the working
for the six months ending the 30th of June last
showed that the traffic had been sufficient to pay
the working expenses and the interest on all the
debenture debt, leaving a small surplus. The
opening of the West Cork and the Cork and Mac-
room lines in the course of a short time would
add a considerable amount of traffic to the rail-
way. The board bad recently appointed Mr. W.
Parsons as local managing director, and from his ex-
tensive experience in pleasure and general traffic
they anticipated favourable results. They regretted
that certaig negotiations for adjusting the liabilities
of the company' had not been carried out, and as the
assets of the company consisted of 3,767 6 per cent.
£lO perpetual preference shares, together with the
new capital of £20,000, for which Parliamentary
power was obtained last session, the directors urged
upon the shareholders the necessity of taking up the
6 per cent, preference shares, by which means alone
the interests of the company could be protected.
Negotiations were now in progress with a view to
consolidate the management of the Cork and Ban-
don, West Cork, and Cork and Kinsale Junction
lines, and the directors were convinced that such an
amalgamation of mutual interests and concentration
of management would be highly beneficial to the
three companies.

Resolutions adopting the report and adjourning
the special general meeting for the creation of addi-
tional capital to Wednesday, Sept. 6, were agreed to.

NEWRY, WARRENPOINT, AND ROSTREVOR.

The report of the directors stated that £723 had
been expended on capital account, of which £523
was for legal and Parliamentary expenses. The traf-
fic for the first half-year was always much less pro-
ductive than that of the second half. The traffic
receipts for the half-year ending the 30th of June
amounted to £2,417, and the working expenses to
£1,192, leaving a balance of £1,225. The capital
account showed that £167,954 had been expended.

PENARTH,

The directors state in their report that the balance
of revenue was £3,995, which, after paying 5 per
cent. per annum dividend upon the preferential
shares, left £ll4. The Penarth dock was opened
for public traffic on the 10th of June last. The
draught leases of the undertaking had been approved
by the respective solicitors of the Penarth and Taff
Vale Companies. The Taff Vale Company took
possession of the dock from the Ist of July last and
from that period the rent reserved in the lease corn-
, menced.

The Attempted Murder and Suicide in,

Westminster.

At three o'clock this afternoot, the man Shannessoy,
under the care of the surgeons at Westminster Hospital,
was going on very favourably. The wound in the throat,
although there is much inflammation, is not likely to prove
fatal. The female also is going on so well that a fatal
result in her case is not now anticipated.

The Shenandoah.—Great Destruction of

American Wnalers.

LIVERPOOL, Wednesday.
Notwithstanding the cessation of hostilities in the
United States, and the disbanding of the Confede-
rate forces, the officers in. command of the cruiser
Shenandoah seem determined to continue the de-
struction of American merchant ships. By the
arrival here to-day of -the City of Boston from New
York we have San Francisco advices to July 21.
The latest accounts received at that place from
the Shenandoah were to the afternoon of the 23d of
June, when she was near Cape Thaddeus, steaming
N.W., toward where a fleet of 60' whalers were
known to be previeusly. Capt. Nye, of the French
whaling barque Milo, on learning of the intentions
of the captain of the Shenandoah, left his vessel in
a small boat during a fog for the purpose of
warning the whalers of their danger. The Milo also
spoke a French whaler, which at once made all sail
towards the fleet, and having a considerable start
of the Shenandoah it was just possible she might be
in time to save the vessels from destruction. While
the Shenandoah was at the Island of Ascension,
some time since, she burned the new London barque
Pearl, and the New Bedford ship Young Hector,
besides a San Francisco and a Hawaian whaler.
She next burned the New Bedford barque Abigail,
in the Ochotsk Sea ; then the Thompson, in the
Kamtschatka sea ; and then several New
Bedford whalers in the Anadir Sea, where she ar-
rived on the 20th June. It is feared that, unless the
French ship's open whale boat could succeed in
warning the fleet, all would
.be captured, as the
Shenandoah knew exactly where to find them. They
were hovering along the southern edge of the ice-
fields, drawing closer together as the ice drifted to-
wardsßehring's Straits, through which they were seek-
ing, a passage to the Arctic zone, as the ice permits.
There were no efficient Government vessels at San
Francisco, and the merchants at that place had ap-
pealed to the Commandant of the Navy-yard to
charter the steamer Colorado, arm her, and send
her in pursuit of the Shenandoah. As instructions,
however, had to be obtained from Washington be-
fore the commandant could act, the fate of the
whaling fleet looks rather gloomy. Should they
have managed to get into Behring's Straits, the
Shenandoah would hardly dare to follow them.

CARMARTHENSHIRE,

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the office, 73, Ethelburga-house,
Bishopsgate-street ; Mr. J. W. Johns in the chair.
The report stated that, by the Act relating to the
company passed in the last session of Parliament,
the portion of the railway authorised by the Act of
1864 had been transferred to the Llanelly Railway
Company, who were to make and work it as a por-
tion of their system. In consequence of this ar-
rangement a reduction in the capital of the com-
pany to the extent of £15,000 in shares and £5,000
on loans had been made. Power was conferred
upon the company to divide the shares under certain
circumstances into two equal parts, and to give to
one moiety a claim to dividend to an extent not ex-
ceeding 5 per cent. per annum. An agreement with
the Llanelly Railway Company has been entered
into and confirmed by Parliament, conferring upon
the company's mutual running powers, by virtue of
which the engines and trains of the Carmarthenshire
would obtain direct access to the docks and other
outlets at Llanelly, which arrangement would be
materially advantageous to the company.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said the arrangements entered into between
the two companies were perfectly satisfactory to
them, and would no doubt prove advantageous to
both. Everything that had taken place up to the
present time had been in accordance with their best
wishes, and they were proceeding with the works
with a view to their completion at the earliest pos-
sible period.
The report was adopted, and the proceedings con-
cluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman.
