BELFAST AND NORTHERN COUNTIES.

The report of the directors states that the receipts
for the past half-year amounted to £59,289, against
£57,864 in the corresponding half of 1863, showing
an increase of £1,425. The directors considered
this a very satisfactory result when it was remem-
bered that the line to Londonderry by Omagh had
been participating in the traffic between that city
and Belfast to a greater extent than in any former
half-year. The ordinary working expenses, not-
withstanding the increase in the traffic, were less
than for the corresponding half of 1863. The ex-
penditure for the renewal of the permanent way was
£3,490, which with the balance of £528 of last ac-
count, making £4,018, it was proposed to pay out
of the revenue of the half-year. The state of the
money market had prevented the issue of the 4f per
cent. preference shares, but now that a change was
likely to take place every exertion would be made
by the directors to accomplish it, and relieve the
company from the extra charge for interest. The
balance of the revenue account, after paying all
claims against it, was £20,883, out of which £4,018
was deducted for the renewed expenditure, £3,200
dividend on the 4 per cent. preference shares, £1,341
for dividend on the 4f per cent. preference shares,
and £11,158 for dividend at the rate of 4 per cent.
per annum, less income tax, on the ordinary shares,
leaving a balance of £1,166. The lease of the Lon-
donderry and Coleraine Railway would terminate in
April next. The directors were not aware of any
arrangements being made for working the line there-
after, but had expressed their willingness to assist
the company in every way in their power. The
capital account showed that £1,111,826 had been
expended. The revenue account showed that £59,289
had been received, and £24,600 expended in work-
ing; £5,000 was paid for rent of the Coleraine line,
and £8,816 for interest on loans, leaving a balance
of £20,883.

TRINIDAD.
A special meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at the London Tavern—Mr. J. Mitchel in
the chair.
The Secretary read the report, which stated that
the directors had forfeited all the shares upon which
the full deposit of £1 was unpaid on Feb. 28, 1860.
The proprietors of 4,975 shares responded to the
call and paid the £1 per share. Negotiations had
a view to
from time to time been carried on w:tohmpany
construct the first section of the line to Ar;
__Ana 7 but
from the supineness manifested by the and
from the disinclination of the shareholders to
sub-
scribe further capital the directors had been unable
c withunwilling ling to abandon
any prospect of success.

the grand and beautiful work with which it will be covered.
There are no less than 28 large panels upon this wall,
which it is understood will be filled with mosaic pictures of
the Sovereigns of England. The side windows will be filled
with stained glass by Messrs. Clayton and Bell, while the
portion of the wall beneath the windows will be decorated
by Baron Thqueti in marble inlay-work. Although only a
small building, the decorations will probably cost some
£20,000 before they are finished, and the works will take a
long time to execute. Mr. Scott is the architect, the cost of
the decorations being defrayed by the Royal children.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—On Saturday afternoon,
the 14th inst., a man named Frederick Hibberd, in
the employ of Mrs. Pinchin, of Winsley, went to a straw
rick belonging to his mistress, near the Cumberwell Turn-
pike-gate, on the Bath-road, for the purpose of getting some
straw. When he got there he began to remove the straw,
and after he had taken off some of it, to his great surprise he
found a man in the rick. He looked at him and found that he
breathed, and thinking he was drunk and had got there and
covered himself up for shelter, he ordered him off, saying
that if he did not go he would fetch a policeman. The man
did not move, and as the weather was exceedingly rough, and
unfit for removing the straw, Hibberd left the rick and the
man, and went home. The nextmorning (Sunday) he went
to the rick again for the straw, and still found the man there.
He again ordered him off, but receivedno answer. He then
went and got assistance of police-constable Matthews, who,
on his arrival, examined the man, and found him to be in a
very exhausted state and unable to speak or move. Matthews
then posted off to Cumberwell Farm, and acquainted Mr.
Stokes, the occupier of it. Mr. Stokes kindly lent a horse
and cart to remove the man, and also accompanied the con-
stable back, :and administered to him some brandy and
water, and after some time he spoke. He then gave the
following account of himself :—" He said his name was
Thomas Williams, andthat he was 60 years of age ; he was
a native of Queenstown, in Ireland, but had lived in Eng-
land nearly all his lifetime, having come over when he was
quite a boy. The last food that he had taken was on the
6th of January, when he was at Trowbridge, and was re-
lieved at the police-station. On the next day, the 7th, he
left Trowbridge for the purpose of going to Bristol, and
passed through Bradford. On the evening of that day,
about dusk, he turned into this straw rick for a night's
shelter, and covered himself over with straw, and during
the night he was taken very ill and was unable to move,
but his senses never forsook him. He had neither ate nor
drunk anything since. After this statement he was re-
moved to the workhouse at Avoncliffe, and every attention
paid him, and he is now recovering. His appearance when
found indicated that he had suffered from want of food and
exposure for some time, being in a most exhausted state ;
he was also wet and filthy. A man answering his descrip-
tionrd
was relieved on the 6th January at the Trowbridge
police station, and he was seen at Bradford the next day,
but had not been seen since. According to
he must have lain in the rick from the 7th to 15th Janu-
ary without food or water.— Wiltshire lrulependent. d

Rheumatism and euralgia.—Though the former disease
remorselessly attacks the young and the robust, and the
latter relentlessly selects its victims horn the weak and

both complaints. After the affected parts have been:dili-
gently fomented with hot brine and the skin has been dried
