CORK AND BANDON.

The report of the directors states that there has been a
decrease of £llB in the receipts of the last half-year ending
the 31st of December, as compared with the corresponding
half of 1860. The decrease in the receipts is attributed to
the depressed state of trade and a deficient harvest; but, on
the other hand, there has been a decrease in the working
expenses of £567 as compared with the same period of the
preceding year, when a largo sum was required for the
renewal and repairs of the rolling stock, which was not re-
quired in the past half-year, with the exception of building
a third-class carriage and erecting a gatehouse, thereby
leaving sufficient funds to pay the usual preference divi-
dends. The balance-sheet exhibits a profit of £2,271,
after providing for all expenses, outstanding accounts,
&c., which is applicable for dividend on the No. 1
preference shares at the rate of 51 per cent. per annum, and
on the No. 2 preference shares at the rate of 6 per cent. per
annum, for the half-year ending the 31st of December last,
both payable on the Ist of March next. The directors have
entered into a contract for the erection of an iron bridge
over the Bandon river, near Innoshannon, in place of the
present wooden structure. The directors are informed that
the works on the Kinsale Junction Railway are progressing,
and the lino is expected to be opened for traffic next sum-
mer ; also that the Cork and Macroom Railway Company
have had additional capita subscribed, so that the works
on this lino would, it was believed, be entered on forthwith.

that in the event of the Government deciding to redeem the
annuity, they shall pay a capital sum which will be suffi- I
cient to purchase a Government annuity of £4 10s. per au.
num on each £lOO of the stock or capital of the company,
for the unexpired residue of the term,' That the direc-
tors be, and they are hereby, authorised to take all neces-
sary measures for carrying this arrangement into effect.'
A correspondence (which is set forth in an appendix to the
report has since taken place between the board and the
Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, which
shows that the Government adopted the interpretation of
the 3d clause put upon it by the meeting. The share-
holders will also see from the correspondence set forth in
appendix No. 2, that the new company, having fulfilled the
terms of their engagement with the Government, by the
subscription of two-thirds of their capital, and the despatch
of a steamer to the Red Sea with 200 miles of new cable on
board, made application to the Treasury in the month of
December last for the stipulated transfer of the line and
property of the Red Sea and India Telegraph Company, and
that the arrangement for the transfer of the line and pro-
perty of the company has been carried out, subject to the
necessary Parliamentary powers for the creation of the an•
nuity, and that the new company have undertaken to relieve
this company from all further liability as from the Ist of
February instant. As it is necessary to retain the ma-
chinery of the company until the company is finally wouad
up, certain directors retire by rotation, in compliance with
the requirements of the Act of Parliament, and offer them-
selves for re-election."

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex-
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive.
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

THE VIGOUR OF YOUTH RESTORED IN
-A- FOUR WEEKS by Dr. RICORD'S ESSENCE OF
LIFE.

This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most
shattered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution,
excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu-
ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate
case is tour weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible.
This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to
marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by
the medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made.
Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches
thirst

Dr.Rieord's Essence of Life is sold in cases, with full in-
structions for use, at 11s., or four quantities in one for 335.,
and will be sent to any part of the world, carefully packed,
on receipt of remittance or post-office order payable to Front
and Co., Patent Medicine Warehouse, 229, Strand, London.

(Entered at Stationers' Hall.)

DR. BUCHAN'S DOMESTIC MEDICINES.
PATENT SUGAR-COATED PILLS, for purifying,
the blood, regulating the bowels, and removing vitiated hu-
mors, bilious and liver complaints, rheumatism. gout, scor-
butic affections, costiveness, &c. These pills work their way
to the very roots of each disease, cleansing in their passage,
and removing every unhealthy accumulation, till the bloo
is purified, the whole system renovated, and all the functions
act according to nature, whilst the duties of life become a
pleasure, where before they had been sad and weary burdens.
Do not hesitate—do not delay 1 a clean stomach must make a
clean body. A clean body will contain pure blood, when the
stomach, body. and blood are pure, from regulating and
cleansing the bowels, health is certain. Begin at the be-
ginning, waste no time; strike at the root of your ailment.
Again, I say, look to your stomach. One trial of these pills
will force conviction.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
Our market to-day was fairly supplied with beasts, both
us to number and quality. All kinds moved off slowly,
nevertheless Monday's currency was supported. The
primest lots sold at 4s 10d per 81b. Although the supply
of sheep was very limited, the mutton trade was in a most
inactive state, at about stationary prices ; the best Downs
realised 6s 6d per 81bs. Calves—the show of which was
small were in request, at an improvement in value of 2d
Per 81b. Pigs were quite as dear as on Monday, but mulch
cows were very dull.

RED SEA AND INDIA TELEGRAPH.

Tb o report of the directors, to be submitted to the pro-
prietors at the general meeting on the 17th inst., has been
issued :—" It will be in the recollection of the shareholders
that when thesecond ordinary general meeting of the company
was held in February last, her Majesty's Government had
deemed it necessary to defer the payment of the guaranteed
interest until after the passing of an act to remove the
doubts raised by the law officers of the'crown as to the un-
conditional nature of the contract between the Treasury
and the company. The declaratory act confirming the
original agreement was introduced by her Majesty's Go-
vernment at an early period of the session, and, after hav-
ing been referred to a select committee, was finally passed
on the 22d of March, when the interest was immediately
paid. This question having been settled, the directors lost
no time in bringing the state of the line, and the company's
posi ion in connection with it, under the notice of the Go-
vernment, and repeatedly urged the necessity of immediate
action, with a view to carrying out the important work for
which the company had been formed. The Government
were, however, indisposed tc take upon themselves the re-
sponsibility of proceeding with the undertaking, and mat-
ters remained in statu quo till shortly after the payment
of the August dividend, when a proposal was made to the
Treasury by Sir Macdonald Stephenson, who undertook to
form a company for the purpose of taking measures to re-
store the communication, on the condition of receiving from
the Government the lines and property of the Red Sea and
Indian Telegraph Company free of charge. The Govern-
ment adopted the suggestion, and negotiations were in con-
sequence commenced, which resulted in a proposition made
by the Treasury to the board, which was submitted to the
shareholders at a special general meeting hold on the sth
of November last, when the terms were accepted, and the
following resolutions were unanimously passed :—Resolved
That the proposition contained in the letter addressed
by the Secretary of the Treasury to the directors of the
Red Sea and India Telegraph Company, on the 15th. of
Oct. last, be, and is hereby, accepted, on the understanding
that it be made clear in the arrangement with the Govern • '

COLNE VALLEY AND HALSTEAD.

It appears that the works on this line aro so far advanced
between Castle Iledingham and Great Yoldham that the
line will be ready for Government inspection in the course
of three weeks. The land up to Haverhill is in possession
of the contractor, who has throe locomotives and several
hundred men working night and day to accomplish the
opening throughout by the Ist of May. The Eastern
Counties Company have taken no action in the construc-
tion of the line from Haverhill to Cambridge beyond giv-
ing notice of a survey of the land.

absurd. Beaufort was always open to a vessel which
could run the blockade till now. It is now open in
one sense, but shut in another. The enemy hold all
the internal communications, and on the land side
Beaufort is closely blockaded, unless a cargo of
negroes is desired.
The rumours of a defeat at Bowling-green have
made people uneasy, but there does not appear to
be any truth in them, or at least any ascertainable
source. The detailed letters from the camps and
the admissions of the Confederates show that Zolli•
coffer was totally routed, and that the dispersion of
his force and the loss of guns and baggage were
complete. This is a serious gap in the enemy's line.
It is to be seen if the Federals will push their suc-
cess. The attack was gallant but rash, and the
only wonder is how so few were. killed on either
side, after so many thousands fighting for such a
length of time with artillery ;and rifles and at close
quarters. This, to my mind, is the greatest success
yet achieved by the Federals, not excepting
Dranesville, and deserves to be called an important
victory for their arms. The anxiety about the
Burnside expedition is vainly disguised under the
remark that no news is good netts. The weather is
moderate to-day, and we must soon have news of the
missing flotilla. lam about to avail myself of the
complete stagnation of accessible military opera-
tions to make an excursion into Canada and see
how things look along the frontier. As it is hard
frost, snow, and ice here, the weather at any rate
cannot be considered inviting for simh a jourAey,

LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE.

The report of the directors states that the amount of share
capital chargeable on revenue to Dec. 31 last, exclusive of
leased lines, is £19,272,705, of which £12,093,594 consist of
consolidated stock, £2,651,943 guaranteed and preference
stock, and £4,627,168 of loans. The expenditure on capital
account for the half-year amounts to £193,590. The re-
ceipts of the company during the last half year amount to
£982,760, and for the corresponding half of 1860 to
£1,031,631, showing a decrease of £48,871. The disburse-
ments amount to £430,518, against £417,274, showing a de-
crease of £13,244. The balance of revenue applicable to
the payment of dividend on the consolidated ordinary
stock of the company is £323,484, and the directors re-
commend to the proprietors to declare a dividend out of
this amount at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum, less in-
come tax, which will leave a balance of £21,144 to be car-
ried forward to the next half year. The falling off in
the revenue of the company for the half year, to the ex-
tent of £48,871, is mainly to be attributed to the con-
tinuance of the civil war in America, which, by its interfe-
rence with the supply of cotton and other produce, has
limited the manufacturing industry of Lancashire, and con-
sequently the amount of raw material and manufactured
goods carried on the company's railways. The working ex-
penses have been unusually heavy, but when it became ap-
parent that the probabilities of a peaceful solution of the
difficulty were remote, the best efforts of the directors were
applied to limiting the working expenses; this has now
been accomplished to a considerable extent, and further re-
ductions, if necessary, will receive their earnest considera-
tion. The permanent way, which is reported by the engineer
to be in good condition, continues to receive the attention of
the board. The extent of relaying during the past half-year
has been considerable, and has occasioned an increase to
the debit of renewal account of £11,539, notwithstanding a
sum of £60,000 has during the year been transferred from
revenue to the credit of that account against £54,032 in the
previous year.

The superintendents of the locomotive, carriage, and
waggon departments report the rolling stock under their
charge to be in good order and condition.
In their last report the directors stated that the Parliamen-
tary proceedings of the company had been, on the whole,
satisfactory. This satisfaction is much diminished by the
great cost forced upon the company in defending their pro-
perty from the encroachments upon it which are from time
to time attempted.
The Oldham branch to Rochdale and Royton is to be
completed by June, 1863. Tho capital account shows that
£19,393,448 had been expended to the 31st of December,
leaving a balance against the company of £3,105.

THAMES.

SINGULAR CASE Or AFFILIATION.—HOAX UPON A
POLICE CONSTABLE.-Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, attended
before Mr. Selie, to obtain an order of affiliation upon Cap-
tain Edmond M'Sweeney, formerly master of the screw
steamer Rangoon, and represented to be dwelling at the
house of Mr. Suckling, No, 1, Surrey-street, Strand.
The complainant was Louisa Brown," an unmistakeably
looking servant girl, very smartly dressed, and the service
of the summons at No. 1, Surrey-street, Strand, ha via
been p roved, she deposed that she was formerly " servant
gal" in the lodging and boarding house of Mrs. Foster, in
St. Leonards-road Bromley. The defendant Edmond
M'Sweeney was lodging there, and he paid her very par-
ticular attentions. She listened to the persuasive language
of the gallant gay Lothario, and surrendered to his wishes.
The consequence of the tender intercourse which took place
between them was the birth of a little boy, which was five
months old on the 23d of this month. Captain M'Sweeney
gave her £5 after the child was born.

Mr. Stoddart—Did the defendant bring you home some
lace from Malta ?

Witness—Yes, sir; and he said the lace was to make
caps fur the young brute, and to make him appear smart.
(Laughter.)

Mr. t,toddart—And what else did he say about the child?
Witness—He said it was a good-looking fellow, like him-
self. (Loud laughter.)
In cross-examination by Mr. Denny, a solicitor, Louisa
Brown said she had received as much as £l2 10s. from
Captain M'Sweeney, besides the lace and presents. She
was now living with her sister, Mrs. Austin, at No. 15,
Napier-terrace, Bow-common.

Mrs. Austin got into the witness-box with the living
evidence of Louisa Brown's frailty in her arms, and was
sworn, when

Mr. Denny said he would not dispute the parentage, but
his client would not pay more than the law compelled.
Mr. Stoddart said that Taplin, an officer of the court, was
informed by Captain Suckling, of No. 1, Surrey•street, in
December last that Captain M'Sweeney would be found on
board the ship Elsineur, of which he was master, in the
Clarence Dock, Lherpeol. The officer proceeded to Liver-
pool at the expense of the complainant, but no ship called
the Elsineur, and no Captain I.l4Sweeney could be found
there.

Mr. Selfo said the•defendant must pay for the hoax prac-
tised on the officer of the court by his friend Captain Suck-
ling. He :adjudged the defendant to be the father of the
complainant's child, to pay 2s. Gd per week for its main-
tenance, and to pay £3 ss. as costs.

WOOL.

Since our last report there has been a somewhat improved
demand for English wool, and, in same instances, a slight
advance has taken place in the quotation. Colonial and
foreign parcels, however, have commanded very little at-
tention. Last week's imports were 1,147 bales from Laun-
ceston. 1,996 from Melbourne, 1,711 from New Zealand,
and 694 from Algoa Bay.
