CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Pigott)
Jacob Brenner, aged 25, cabinet-maker, who was re-
manded from the last session, was placed in the dock on an
indictment, charged with feloniously killing and slaying
Joseph Kuchen. Mr. Poland and Mr. Orridge prosecuted,
and Mr. Pater, instructed by Mr. Willis, of New Inn, 'ap-
peared for the defence. The prisoner, being a foreigner,
elected to be tried by a mixed jury of Englishmen and
foreigners, and M. Albert interpreted. The deceased was
a cabinet-maker, residing at Stratord, anti the prisoner was
in his employ, lodging in the same house. On Sunday
night, the 27th of August, the deceased, his wife, and 'pri-
soner, and others, went out to see a person off by the train.
On their return a quarrel took place. Tho deceased, who
was stObed, as alleged, by the prisoner, was removed to
the London Hospital, where he died.

The evidence, which was given for the most part by the
quarre'some Germans who were engaged in the row, was,
as might have been expected, of a very contradictory cha-
racter.

The jury found the prisoner guilty, and recommended
him to mercy.
The Judge deferred sentence.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
FRAUDS BY FOREIGNERS.

Louis Jordan, 36, and Angelina Jordan, his wife, wore
indicted for fraud. The male prisoner pleaded guilty. Tho
indictment against the female prisoner was withdrawn,
and she was acqui3ted.

Alex. Barthe was then indicted for forgery. The pri-
soner, i 3 appeared, obtained a quantity of goods from An-
toine Regondi, of Greek-street, Soho, and other commercial
houses, on the false representation that they were for re-
spectable persons.
Tho jury found the prisoner guilty.

Mr. Metcalfe then informed his Lordship that the gang
of which the prisoner was one had been for some time
engaged in robbing a great many merchants on the Con-
tinent, by inducing them to remit goods to England, under
the impression that they were dealing with a respectable
firm. In one case one of the gang had forged the signa-
ture of a Romish Archbishop to a bill.

His lordship, in passing sentence, paid a high compli-
ment to Inspector Hamilton and Detective Foulger, for the
clever way they had broken up this gang of swindlers.
He passed upon the prisoner a sentence of six years'
penal ser'ritudo.

Jordan was then brought up, and sentenced to sixteen
months' imprisonment.

THE ROBBERY AT PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY'S.—The pri-
soners Sellen, Spooner, and Utton, who were convicted
yesterday of robbing their master, Mr. Holloway, were
sentenced—Sellen to nine months' imprisonment, Spooner
to seven, and Utton to 10 years' penal servitude.

DOVER.

The feeling of regret at the death of Lord Pal-
merston did not here assume a formal manifestation
until yesterday, although the deceased viscount was
Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports and Constable
of Dover Castle, and was, as President of the Dover
Harbour Board, and in many other ways, closely
connected with the town. Yesterday, however, a
meeting was held at the Dover Sailors' Home (Sir
Luke Smithett in the chair), for the purpose of ad-
dressing a letter of condolence to Lady Palmerston on
the decease of his lordship, who was the patron of that
national institution. The Rev. W. Yate (hon. secre-
tary) said, though they all knew Lord Palmerston to
have been a man of wonderful influence on the conti-
nent as well in this country, it was not then intended
to speak of him in his political character ; but as
from the day of his lordship's installation as Lord
Warden of the Cinque Ports he had been a patron
and supporter of the Sailors' Home, he felt it in-
cumbent on them to send an address of sympathy
to Lady Palmerston. Sir Luke Smithett having
expressed his cordial approval of the course pro-
posed, it was resolved, on the motion of Captain
Cow, seconded by Mr. R. Iron, that the secretary
address the following letter to her ladyship :-
4, That the directors of the Dover Sailors' Home
have heard with feelings of deep regret the intelli-
gence of the death of their patron, the Right Hon.
Lord Viscount Palmerston, Lord Warden of the
Cinque Ports, and would desire respectfully to con-
vey to Lady Palmerston their sincere /sympathy
with her ladyship on this melancholy occasion, and
in the irreparable loss which she has sustained by
the decease of his lordship. Last evening, the Rev.
W. Yate preached a sermon on the death of the
Premier at St. John's Church, the ministers of se-
veral of the other churches having referred to the
event in their sermons last Sunday. , To-day the
Town Council will meet to move an. address on the
death of his lordship, since which event the flags at
the castle, forts, and public buildings have been
lowered half-mast. The Mayor of Dover has re-
ceived from the Speaker of the Cinque Ports a sum-
mons to attend the funeral of the deceased Lord
Warden to-morrow, and it is probable that repre-
sentatives from most of the ports will be present at
the mournful ceremony. Lord Palmerston being
the hon. colonel of the Ist Administrative Battalion
of the Cinque Ports Artillery and of the 2d Admi-
nistrative Battalion Cinque Ports Rifle Volunteers.
Lieut.-Colonel Harcourt, of the Artillery, has
issued a brigade order, requiring the several corps
under his command to wear the usual military
mourning for a month.

DRAYTON JUNCTION.

The half-yearly meeting was held on Thursday at
the office, Manchester-buildings, Westminster—the
Earl of Lichfield in the chair.

The CHAIR3fAN congratulated the shareholders
upon the improved position of the line, and the suc-
cessful results of the proceedings in Parliament last
session. It was not the intention of the directors to
present any report to this meeting, which, for cir-
cumstances connected with the company, would
have to be adjourned to Stafford, on the 21st Octo-
ber, when the report would be submitted.
The meeting was then adjourned to Oct. 21.

_ _ _ _ _ •
The report states that the net amount receivable
from the South Devon Company to the 30th June
last was £3,809 ; for management, £125 ; balance
from last half-year, £lO4 ; making a total of
£4,038, which allowed a dividend at the rate of ss.
per sharp on the ordinary capital. Under the pro-
visions of an act obtained last session the share-
holders in this undertaking would in future receive,
in the form of perpetual annuities, a dividend of £3
Vs. per cent. per annum. The directors acknow-
ledged the liberal support always given to them by
the proprietors.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
at Shrewsbury on Thursday—Mr. R. G. Price,
M.P., in the chair.

Mr. J. Dean, the secretary, read the report, which
stated that the receipts for the half-year ending the
30th June last were sufficient, after paying interest
on the debenture bonds and preference shares, to
pay a dividend on the ordinary shares at the rate of
5 per cent. per annum, payable on the 19th Sept.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, congratulated the meeting on the satisfac-
tory state of the accounts, and on the fact of the
line being entirely free from debt.
The report was unanimously adopted.

YORK-SATURDAY.

There was a meagre attendance of the trade at our mar"
ket, and consequently the supplies of wheat were only mo-
derate, old being fully as dear. New wheat came forward
slowly and sold at irregular prices, but the market was
dull one.

New white wheat, 44s to 48s ; new red, 42s to 46s per

MARK-LANE,

The trade for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday was very quiet. Old produce changed hands at
full prices; but the quotations for new wheats were very
irregular. Scarcely any alteration took place in the value
of spring corn, and the trade for most descriptions ruled
firm. The flour trade was steady, at late rates.
Our accounts at hand from America, this week, are much
more favourable, and it is anticipated that a large quantity
of wheat will be secured, for the most part, in excellent
condition. Tho 'trade, however, at latest date, was firm,
at higher prices, but with a limited export demand. On
the Continent the wheat trade is rather quiet.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were but moderate. The imports from abroad consisted of
17,249 quarters of wheat, 2,171 barley, 30,628 oats, 2,000
beans, 166 peas, 3,983 maize, 150 sundry seeds, 85 sacks,
and 6,104 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to our market to-day the receipts of home-
grown wheat were moderate, and.were comprised almost
entirely of new produce, which came to hand in very
middling condition. The trade was much quieter than
on Monday last. Even good and fine samples of old wheat
sold heavily, and prices declined to the extent of is to 2s
per quarter as compared with this day se'nnight. New
wheats were extremely difficult of sale, and the quotations
were very irregular. At the close of business a total clear-
ance of the supply had not been effected.
Floating cargoes; of wheat were in slow request, and
prices had a drooping tendency. Spring corn, however,
ruled firm.
The supply of barley on sale was very moderate. The
demand for most qualities ruled inactive, at late rates.
The malt trade was firm, at fully last Monday's currency.
There was a moderate supply of foreign wheat on the
stands. The trade for all qualities was very inactive.
The amount of busines's transacted was limited, and prices
were somewhat loWer than on Monday last. A cargo of
wheat came to hand from Alexandria last week.
The market was moderately supplied with oats. For
most qualities there was a good demand, and prices were
about 6d per quarter higher than on Monday last.
Beans were in short supply, and the trade ruled firm at

full currencies.
Peas changed hands at fully late rates. The market
was scantily supplied.
In flour about an average business was transacted, and
prices ruled firm.

COUNTRY MARKETS

NOTTINGHAM--S ATURDAY.

Wheat promises to be an average crop. Of barley there
will be a good yield, but of oats very light. Beans a full
average. Pastures a luxuriant appearance. At our corn
exchange to-day the show of wheat was fair, being prin-
cipally of the new crop. Late rates were made for old
oath, but now 2s to 3s per qr. lower, and a quiet sale. A
small show of beans, for which the demand ruled tolerably'
good, at 6d to is per qr. more money. Peas no Tariation.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a considerable falling off in the supply of
foreign beasts exhibited on sale here to-day. The show
of sheep, however, was good, and the quality, on the
whole, tolerably firmer. The trade was steady at full
prices.

Fresh up from our own grazing districts, as well as
from Scotland, the arrivals of beasts were limited. The
receipts from Ireland were moderate. The general quality
of the stock was very middling, and all good and prime
breeds changed hands at full prices, whilst inferior stock
met a somewhat inactive sale at last Monday's currency.
The general top quotation was 5s 4d, the extreme 5s 6d
per 81bs.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 1,500 Scots and crosses ; from other
parts of England, GOO of various breeds ; from Scotland,
67 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 250 oxen and
heifers.

The total supply of sheep on sale was moderate, and the
quality, generally speaking, was tolerably good. For most
breeds there was a steady demand, and last Monday's cur-
rency was well supported. The general top figure was
6s 8d per 81bs ; but really first-class Downs sold as high as
7s per 81bs. About 3,000 sheep were in the pens.
The lamb season must now be considered over; but the
few choice breeds on sale realised 7s per 81bs.
Calves were in very moderate supply, and the trade
ruled steady at full prices. The top quotation was 5s 4d
per 81bs.

For pigs there was a fair demand at quite previous
rates.

Captain FISHER seconded the amendment.

agreed with the secretary that they should have a
reserve to meet claims; butlo per cent. was a great
falling off from the 18 per cent. dividend declared
last half-year.

After some discussion the amendment was re-
jected, and the original motion was carried by a
large majority. The retiring directors were re-
elected, and a vote of thanks to the chairman con-
cluded the proceedings.

WHITEHAVEN JUNCTION.

The half-yearly meeting was held on Wednesday
at Whitehaven ; Lord Lonsdale in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report (an abstract of which has appeared in The
Sun), said that 20 years ago the project for this
line was first started ; it was a mere speculation,
and they had nothing definite to go upon. That
speculation had, however, turned out well, and was
now so prosperous that it sought to be amalgamated
with a great company. The London and North-
Western Company had offered to lease the under-
taking at 10 per cent., and that offer, he thought,
should not be rejected. They had the rate of in-
terest guaranteed in perpetuity, and this the share-
holders should not consider a bad bargain.

Mr. W. LUMB seconded the motion for the adop-
tion of the report.
Mr. MUSGRANE asked why only 10 per cent. divi-
dend had been recommended, when the funds of the
company would pay 16 or 17 per cent. At present
there was no less than 0,505 carried over to the con-
tingent account, and that, with. the balance already
left, amounted to £5,063, after paying 10 per cent.
lle trusted that when the time came for declaration
of dividend the sum to be paid would be 12 per
cent. instead of 10,

The CHAIRMAN said there were claims against
the company to be met, for which they must reserve
something.

Mr. H. Coo; the Secretary, said that, although
the London and North-Western would take their
liabilities on capital account, they would not take
their liabilities on revenue account. No doubt there
was a handsome margin ; but whatever was left
after the claims were discharged would be divided
among the shareholders.

The
report having been adopted,
Mr. T. S. DIXON moved the payment of a divi-
dend at the rate of 20s. per share, less income tax,
payable on and after the 7th of September.
Mr. HODGKIN seconded the motion.
Mr. MUSGRAVE moved as an amendment that the
dividend be at the rate of 12 per cent.
London, England, 1865-09-04

The Reform League.

The Executive Committee of the above League met at
their rooms, 8, Adelphi-terrace, Strand, on Friday evening
last; Edmond Beales, Esq., president, in the chair.
The minutes of the previous meeting having been con-
firmed,

The SECRETARY read correspondence from Glasgow,
Caine, liillwall, Poplar, Garndiffaith, Southampton, and
Greenwich. He also read the financial statement, from
which it appeared that the League is in a prosperous con-
dition ; its branches are extending in every direction ; and
the friends of reform are showing their vitality and ear-
nestness, and displaying an amount of energy which can-
not fail to meet its reward.

The Finance Committee announced the kind offer of P.
A. Taylor, Esq., M.P., to add £25 to the funds of the
League, if seven other friends of the movement would do
likewise. Samuel Morley, Esq., M.P., being the first to
respond to the offer, the committee was instructed to take
steps to obtain the other six names.

It was then resolved that the Finance Committee should
in future meet every Friday evening at 7 o'clock, so as to
examine the accounts weekly and certify thereon to the
Executive Council.
Various reports were given in from different parts of
London and the suburb; each telling of success.
The sub-committee then submitted their report and sug-
gestions on the proposed metropolitan conference, which it
was resolved should be considered more at length at the
next meeting of the council.

The death of M. Napoleon Chaix, the extensive
printer of the Rue Bergere, has just taken place. He was
only 56 years of age.

Several journals have mentioned a rumour that
M. Paulin Talabot, Deputy of the Legislative Body, had
just died at Marseilles. We can state that he was in Paris
yesterday, and in good health.
London, England, 1865-09-04

CENTRAL WALES EXTENSION.

The half yearly meeting of this company was held
at Shrewsbury on Thursday, Mr. Price, M.P., in
the chair.

The report stated that the works continued to
progress throughout. From the difficult nature of

the materials met with in the summit cutting near
Llanwyntd, considerable time would be required for
the completion of this portion of the railway beyond
what was anticipated. At the northern end the
contractor was pushing on the works so as to have

the railway ready for opening near Llangammarch
at the earliest possible period.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said there was no doubt the line would ulti-
mately become a very valuable property.
The retiring directors and auditors having been
re-elected, the proceedings terminated with a vote
of thanks to the chairman.

MERTHYR, TREDEGAR, AND ADERGAVENNY.
The half yearly meeting was held at the offices,
Abergavenny, on Thursday ; Mr. C. Bailey, M.P.,
in the chair.
The report stated that the rent charges, deben-
ture interest, &c., to the 30th June last had been
duly paid by the London and North Western Com-
pany, and the guaranteed dividend, at the rate of
5 per cent, on the ...hare capital, would be payable
on the 11th of September. The capital account
showed that £267,336 had been expended, and
£262,750 received, leaving a balance against the
company

option of the

report,
congratulated the shareholders on the large
increase in the traffic.

The report was unanimously adopted, and a divi-
dend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum (less in-
come tax), payable on Sept. 14, was unanimously

ledared.

A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the pro-

ceedings.

The amount of business transacted was limited, and prices
were somewhat lower than on Monday last. A cargo of
wheat came to hand from Alexandria last week.
The market was moderately supplied with oats. For
most qualities there was a good demand, and prices were
about 6d per quarter higher than on Monday last.
Beans were in short supply, and the trade ruled firm at
full currencies.

Peas changed hands at fully late rates. The marke
was scantily supplied.

Iu flour about an average business was transacted, and
prices ruled firm.

JEALOUSY IN HUMBLE LIFE...A little African, with
strongly marked features of the negro type, who gave the
pugnacious name of Peter Crawley, was charged with
being drunk and disorderly, and making a disturbance in
Devonshire-street, St. George-in-the-East.
Donald M'Kay, a police-constable, No. 275 K, said h
was called to a disturbance in Devonshire-street at one
o'clock this morning, and saw the pris oner, who was rav-
ing loudly and offering to fight every one near him. The
prisoner also called upon the people at No. 35 to come out
and he would kill them all. Ile endeavoured to quiet the
prisoner, but could not ; and after a scene of wild strug-
gling and rolling upon the ground he was obliged to take
him into custody. The prisoner had nothing on but his
trowsers. The house, No. 35, was a scene of great con_
fusion. The windows were broken and furniture de-
stroyed. A woman was severely beaten by the prisoner
and had two black oyes. She had made an appointment
with the prisoner, who went to the house at midnight, and
on entering the room ho found her in bed in the arms of
another black man—(laughter)—which so enraged him
that he attacked both, half killed his sable rival, and
dragged the couple out of bed. The clothes hanging up
on lines to dry were torn down, the chairs and tables
smashed, and a general wreck made of the contents of the
room.

HULL AND HORNSEA.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
on Thursday at hlull—Mr. J. A. Wade, the chair-
man, presided.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report,
which, he said, disclosed a most barren state of
affairs, both as regarded the revenue and the capital
of the company. The deficiency on capital account
was £•27,000, in addition to £B,OOO, which was still
owing for land over which the line passed. The
directors had cast about for a means of getting rid
of these difficulties, and the only offer made to them
was by a person in London, who offered £25,000,
which was to be in preference shares at 7 per cent.,
and he also demanded a commission of 3 per cent.
•"'„. Several shareholders advised the offer of the line
to the North-Eastern Company as the best means
of getting rid of the difficulties under which the
company laboured.

The report was adopted, and a committee was ap-
pointed to examine and report on the state of the
company's affairs ; but no money was to be spent on
capital account until after the committee had sub-
mitted its report.
The meeting then adjourned to Monday, Oct. 2,
to receive the report of the committee.

CITY,

The Lord Mayor, acting under the powers given
by the recent Order in Council, has appointed Mr.
James Newman and Mr. William Wylde (the sani-
tary inspectors and inspectors of meat under the
City Sewers Commission) to be inspectors for the
purpose of carrying into effect within the city the
several Orders in Council, dated the 24th of July,
and the 11th and 12th of August, 1865, relating to
the cattle disease.

DRAYTON JUNCTION.

The half-yearly meeting was held on Thursday at
the office, Manchester-buildings, Westminster—the
Earl of Lichfield in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN congratulated the shareholders
upon the improved position of the line, and the suc-
cessful results of the proceedings in Parliament last
session. It was not the intention of the directors to
present any report to this meeting, which, for cir-
cumstances connected with the company, would
have to be adjourned to Stafford, on the 21st Octo-
ber, when the report would be submitted.
The meeting was then adjourned to Oct. 21.
London, England, 1865-09-04

NORFOLK.

During the past week some few fresh instances
of the disease have occurred in Norfolk, but at the
same time it is satisfactory to observe that the
prompt and vigorous precautions taken have checked
to some extent the progress of the calamity. Some
disease has, however, appeared among sheep. Cases
of the cattle plague are reported from Felbrigg,
Southrepps, Bradfield, Wickhampton, and Burgh.
On Saturday a meeting of the Central Committee
was held at Norwich, Mr. C. S. Read, pre-
siding. It appeared that the subscription raised in
aid of the rate imposed for compensation purposes
is now about £4,000, and substantial relief has been
afforded to several sufferers. Among recent sub-
scribers to the fund are Messrs. Gurneys and Birk-
becks, £2OO ; Mr. J. B. Petre, £lOO ; the Bishop
of Norwich, £5O ; Lord Sondes, £5O ; Lord Staf-
ford, £5O; Lieut.-General Angerstein, £5O ; Major
Hare, £5O ; Mr. A. Cator, £5O ; Mr. J. Calthrop,
£5O ; Mr. R. Overman, £5O ; Mr. H. Lestrange,
£5O ; Mr. B. B. Cabbell, £5O, &c. With the view
of ascertaining the precise state of affairs, the com-
mittee agreed, on the motion of Mr. Woods, agent
of Lord Walsingham, to address the following ques-
tions to each Poor-law Union in the county :—" 1.
Are there any cattle in your union affected by any
disease similar to the cattle plague, and if so state
what parish, when it broke out, and if a veterinary
surgeon had been called in ? 2. Have any cattle
died in your union of any similar disease ? 3. If
you suppose the disease to exist in your union, can
you trace it to any particular cause ? 4. Is there
any smallpox among the sheep in your union, or
has there been within the last six months ?"

Mr. R. J. H. Harvey, M.P., has addressed a very
long letter to Mr. C. S. Read, M.P., on what he
characterizes as the " cattle panic."

STAFFORDSHIRE.

In consequence of the prevalence of the cattle
disease in many parts of the kingdom, the committee
of the Staffordshire Agricultural Society have de-
cided that the annual exhibition, which was to have
been held at Lichfield on the 26th and 27th inst.,
shall not take place this year.

Wheat promises to be an average crop. Of barley there
will be a good yield, but of oats very light. Beans a full
average. Pastures a luxuriant appearance. At our corn
exchange to-day the show of wheat was fair, being prin-
cipally of the new crop. Late rates were made for old
oats, but new 2s to 3s per qr. lower, and a quiet sale. A
small show of beans, for which the demand ruled tolerably
good, at Gd to is per qr. more money. Peas no variation.

The Price of Gold.

BY advicts from Hamburg the price of gold is 128 per marl
and the short exchange on London is 13.71 per Li sttrlin
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, theretere, about
31°018 per cent. dearer in London thin in Hamburg.
rite quotation of gold at Parts is about 14- per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.22 i per sterling. On
e°,..lnParing these rates with the English Mint price of
s.
nearly I°O. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold iE
f4-Ittlis per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.

WHITEHAVEN JUNCTION.

Tie half-yearly meeting was held on Wednesday
at Viliteliaven ; Lord Lonsdale in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report (an abstract of which has appeared in The
Sun), said that 20 years ago the project for this
line -was first started; it was a mere speculation,
and they had nothing definite to go upon. That
speculation had, however, turned out well, and was
now 40 prosperous that it sought to be amalgamated
with a great company. The London and North-
Western Company had offered to lease the under-
taking at 10 per cent., and that offer, he thought,
should not be rejected. They had the rate of in-
terest guaranteed in perpetuity, and this the share-
holders should not consider a bad bargain.

Mr. W. LUMB seconded the motion for the adop-
tion of the report.
Mr. DIUSGRAVE asked why only 10 per cent. divi-
dend had been recommended, when the funds of the
company would pay 16 or 17 per cent. At present
there was no less than £3,505 carried over to the con-
tingent account, and that, with the balance already
left, amountedlo £5,063, after paying 10 per cent.
He trusted that when the time came for declaration
of dividend the sum to be paid would be 12 per
cent. instead of 10,

The CHAIRMAN said there were claims against
the company to be met, for which they must reserTe
something.

Mr. H. CooK, the Secretary, said that, although
the London and North-Western would take their
liabilities on capital account, they would not take
their liabilities on revenue account. No doubt there
was a handsome margin ; but whatever was left
after the claims were discharged would be divided
among the shareholders.

The report having been adopted,
Mr. T. S. DIXON moved the payment of a divi-
dend at the rate of 20s. per share, less income tax,
payable on and after the 7th of September.
Mr. HODGKIN seconded the motion.

Mr. MUSGRAVE moved as an amendment that the
dividend be at the rate of 12 per cent.
Captain FISHER seconded the amendment. He
agreed with the secretary that they should have a
reserve to meet claims; butlo per cent. was a great
falling off from the 18 per cent. dividend declared
last half-year.

After some discussion the amendment was re-
jected, and the original motion was carried by a
large majority. The retiring directors were re-
elected, and a vote of thanks to the chairman con-
eluded the proceedings.

Confederate Bondholders' Meeting.
---.-- --
(THIS DAY.)
A meeting of the bondholders was held at the London
Tavern this day to consider their altered position in refe-
rence to their 7 per cent. cotton loan, arising from the fact
that the Government of the United States was now the
executive of the Confederate States, and to appoint a com-
mittee to take such other steps as should be deemed ad-
visable for the protection of their interests:
Admiral Sir Probyn Wallis was moved to the chair.
Mr. CIIAMBERLAIN said that he was instrumental in call-
ing the meeting, but he was not in a position at present
to place before the meeting any facts as to the rights
of the bondholder; which was a question for the
committee to decide. The question they had to consider
was whether the bonds were worth the paper on which
they were wrttten, and the prices ehey had given. He
considered that the questions involved were of most grave
and important character. (Hear, hear.) They had to as-
certain whether the Confederate States were not liable to
to the payment of the bond; notwithstanding political
evnts, inasmuch as it was a qnestion as to whether they
ha forfeited tdeir national rights by rebellion. It was
also a question whether the Federal Government was not
bound to indemnify the claims of the bondholders, having
seized the property of the Confederate States. After
some further observations, he cited the deci-
sion of Vice-Chancellor Wood in a recent case
in which the learned judge ruled that the United States
had not a lien upon some cotton which they had seized.
He stated also that an eminent Q.C. was prepared to tell
the bondholders that the Confederate States property was
liable to the bondholder; or that the Federal Govern-
ment should pay their claims.

After some discussion a committee of three was ap-
pointed, with power to add to their number.
Thanks having been voted to the chairman, the meeting
adjourned until the 18th October.
London, England, 1865-09-04

held at Chudleigh on Thursday—Capt. Rogers in
the chair.

The CHAIRMAN said it was expected that a por-
tion of the line would be completed by the time the
Moreton Hampstead Railway was opened. Nothing
had yet been done with regard to working arrange-
ments, but they had the sanction of Parliament to
negotiate with the South Devon Company for work-
ing the traffic.

It was suggested that the line should be extended
to Exeter. The directors were authorised to raise
additional capital, and the proceedings terminated.

WEST CORNWALL.
The half-yearly meeting was held at Penzance on
Thursday—Mr. L. Vigurs in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN regretted that the amount of re-
ceipts was not quite equal to that of the correspond-
ing period of 1864. The coaching traffic showed a
decrease of £747, while the mineral traffic had
increased £323. After payment of all fixed charges
there remained a balance of £2,009, which, after
paying a dividend on the preference shares amount-
ing to £774, left £1,234. The directors did not
advise any dividend on the ordinary shares until the
end of the current half-year. The Associated Com-
panies, under an agreement, commenced to work the
line on the Ist of July, and would continue to do so
till the 31st of December, paying the West Corn-
wall Company 35 per cent, of the receipts. After
that time the fixed rent would commence. The
Associated Companies were to take over the rolling
stock, plant, and materials, and the amount to be
paid would be settled by arbitration.
The report was unanimously adopted, and a vote of
thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings.
London, England, 1865-09-04

YORK-SATURDAY.

There was a meagre attendance of the trade at our Mar"
ket, and consequently the supplies of wheat wore only mo-
derate, old being fully as dear. Now wheat came forward
slowly and sold at irregular prices, but the market was 11
dull ono.

The supply of wheat was fair, consisting both of old and

week, not much disposition being evinced by buyers to
operate even at the reduction. Several samples of the new
crop of barley were offered for inspection, which showed
great variety in quality.
