VARN A.

The report stated that an article in the statutes
required the first general meeting of the company
to be held :within two years from the signing of the.
statutes by the Turkish Government on the 31st
of December, 1863. It was likewise provided that
general meetings should be held in March and
September, and it, was the intention of the
directors to submit a report and balance-sheet to the
proprietors at the general meeting to be held in
March next. rtThe report of Mr. M'Candlish, the
engineer, contained a satisfactory account of the
state of the works throughout its whole length of
146 miles, and left no doubt that the rail way would
le opened for traffic in October next year, which
,rays one year sooner than was required by the terms
of the concession. Great credit was due to the
contractors, Messrs Peto, Betts, and Compton, and
their representative in Turkey, Mr. J. T. Barkley,
for the energy with which they had overcome all
difficulties in the execution of the works. The
Turkish Government had taken steps for the imme-
diate return of the caution money (£40,000). The
engineer in his report stated that 65 miles of the
permanent way had been laid in nearly equal pro-
portions at each end, leaving to be laid about 75
miles, and as the progress was equal to about five
miles per week, lie hoped that the rails would be
laid throughout from Varna to Rustchuk by about
the middle of July next. The construction of the
railway from Giurgevo (opposite Rustchuk) to
Bucharest had been commenced, and as that line
would be opened within two years, the traffic from
Wallachia would thus be brought upon the Rust-
chuk and Varna Railway for conveyance to the
harbour of Varna.

ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE AND VESTRY-HALL.—
The Midland Railway Company having proposed to
the vestry of St. Pancras to appoint a valuer to meet Mr.
Glutton on the part of the railway company to agree upon
the price to be paid to the vestry by the railway company
for the workhouse, vestry-hall, and grounds, comprising
nearly five acres, Mr. Lockyer was appointed by the vestry,
for that purpose, and he has mode a report to the vestry
from which it appears that he values the buildings and
land at the sum of £211,000, being £131,000 more than the
sum offered by the railway company some time ago. The
power to sell the property to the railway company is, by
the Midland Railway Extension Act, only permissive ; but,
to meet the possibility of a sale being concluded, the agents
of-the vestry are negotiating with the Earl of Mansfield
for the purchase of 28 acres of land; in Kentish-town on
which to erect a new workhouse and vestry-hall.
SHOCKING DEATH OF A POACHER.—An inquest
was held in Morley, near Leeds, on Tuesday, be-
fore Mr. Jewison, coroner, on the body of Thomas Hirst,
of that village. , It was elicited that the deceased, who had
been serving a term of three months' imprisonment in
Wakefield House of Correction for poaching, was return-
ing home from gaol, and had been indulging his penchant
for shooting, when he met with his death. As he neared
home he put his gun in the inner pockets of his shooting-
coat (having previously separated stock from barrel), and
walked forward with a friend. The barrel was loaded and
capped. On approaching his home a large lurcher dog,
which belonged to the deceased, espied him, and jumped
up at his breast fawningly, and the dog's caresses by some
means caused the barrel to fall to the ground, and as the
cap struck the pavement, the piece was discharged, and
the deceased wounded in a most shocking manner in the
lower part of his person. The unfortunate man was car-
ried home, and surgical aid called in, but he died in a few
hours. The jury found that the occurrence had been ac-
cidental, and returned a verdict to that effect,

At to-day's market there was a much better attendance
than a week ago. Wheat was an increased supply, but out

prices. The demand for barley was very restricted. There
was a largo offer, the turn being in favour of buyers.
Oats neglected. Beans ruled firm.

WATERLOO AND WHITEHALL.

The works of this company's lines are progressing.
At a short distance from Charing-cross-bridge, and
between the north and south shores of the Thames,
groups of piles have been driven into the bed of the
river, marking out the sites for the piers and the
route of the line, which will be nearly parallel with
the railway bridge. The ground for the Whitehall
station in Scotland-yard has been enclosed and a
cofferdam commenced for the formation of the north
abutment. Running from the station in Scotland-
yard, the line will be carried in brickwork beneath
the tunnel of the Metropolitan District Railway, and
then under the Low-level Sewer to the northern
abutment. From this iron tubes of Mt. diameter are
to be laid on the clay beneath the river. The trough
in the bed of the river is now being dredged for the
tubes. From the south abutment the line will be
completed to the Waterloo station in brickwork,
passing on its way beneath the Belvedere and York
roads to a terminus near the South-Western Rail-
way station. At the cab entrance to the Waterloo
station in the York-road will be the pumping station,
where the engines, &c., are to be erected for work-
ing the traffic. It is expected that this pneumatic
railway will be fini.,thed in about 12 months.

The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 18th says :

"The Redpole arrived on Saturday evening from Tangier
with his Royal Highness Prince Alfred on his return from
his hunting expedition in Barbary. The prince Foceeded
to Tangier on Monday last, accompanied by Lieutenant IL
Haig, R.E., and Lieutenant Campbell, R.N. The baggage
was sent on into the country, and his royal highness and
suite were entertained at the legation house for that night.
On Tuesday morning early his royal highness and party,
including Sir John Drummond Hay, made an early start
for Arzylu, which they reached by two o'clock. The same
evening they made an excursion, but the hunting was
without sport. Next day, unfortunately, was stormy, and
heavy rain continued all day ; nevertheless, the royal party
was undaunted, but their chase through storms was at-
tended with indifferent sport, the party only killing two
boars among them. At night they rested at the house of
the British Consular agent, and the next morning started
for Dar-el-Clue--a mountain ridge 14 miles from Tangier
—where tents were pitched for their accommodation. His
royal highness shot on the road, and made a good bag of
various birds. The party slept that night in tents and the
next day hunted the boar. The wind was high and pierc-
ingly cold as is seldom experienced in that region. About
a dozen boars were started, but not one had the politeness
to come out in the direction of his royal highness, so that
he could only obtain a long shot at two that trotted past at
a considerable distance. Mr. Green, who was of the party,
had better luck, having fired at three boars, two of which
he brought down. None of the other Christians had shots,
and the Moors, as bad luck would have it, always missed.
Although the party were not so successful in finding and
killing game as could have been wished, his royal highness
showed himself to be a thorough sportsman and a splendid
shot at partridges, and appeared to enjoy much the rough
wild life of the 'tent and camp' in Northern Africa."

The following British vessels have arrived here
since the 17th inst. :—The steamer Tiber, 7 days,
from Liverpool; brig Martha, 35 days, from Liver-
pool ; steamer Grecian, 51 days, from Liverpool;
R.V.Y.C. schooner Medea, from Cowes ; steamer
Samson, 7 days, from Cardiff; R.Y.S. schooner
Diadem, 20 days, from Plymouth ; schooner Kate,
10 days, from Cardiff ; brig Squire, 12 days, from
Newport; steamer Minerva, 5 days, from Cardiff;
and brigantine Diana, 16 days, from Cardiff.
Exchanges are unaltered.
Her Majesty's ships Racoon and Skylark are in
the harbour.

SALOON STEAMPACkETS.—The Woolwich and
Waterman's Steampacket Companies havo just purchased
two splendid and fast going saloon steamboats, fitted up in
a most excellent style, with every requisite for the com-
fort of passengers. They are intended for the London,
Gravesend, and Southend traffic for the summer season,
and others of the same class will be provided.

ESSEX.

Cases have been reported at Great Bentley, Wix,
St. Osyth, &c., but the disease does not appear to
be extending very seriously.

OXFORDSHIRE.
The cattle plague is spreading and increasing in
virulence, more particularly in the Woodstock dis-
trict adjoining Oxford. Many fatal cases have oc-
curred in the parishes of Cassington, Yarnton, Kid-
lington, and Watereaton, which is one of the finest
grazing villages in the county. The homoeopathic
system is still being tried there, and on a farm at
Tuscot, on the banks of the Cherwell and adjoining
Marston, where the plague almost decimated the
horned cattle, the Russian remedy, the vapour bath,
has had a trial, the apparatus being most elaborate,
but the four cases submitted to it have all resulted
fatally. In the Otmoor towns (Bicester district) it
has also appeared, as well as at Crawley (Witney
district). The neighbouring counties of Berks and
Bucks have also felt the influence of the plague.
London, England, 1865-12-28

CHESTER.

The following is the number of cases reported to
the 25th inst. :—Died, 2,850 ; kill id, 186 ; under
treatment, 1,409 ; recovered, 194 ; total, 4,639. Since
the 18th inst. fresh cases have appeared in 29 addi-
tional townships, making a total of 134 different
places in which the disease has manifested itself.
The number attacked during the past week has been

National Choral Society, Exeter Hall.

Among the attractive features of the Christmas
season the annual performances of the " Messiah'
always hold a conspicuous and characteristic place.
The crowds who assemble to hear the greatest work
of one of the greatest composers prove how warmly
it is appreciated in this country, while the exquisite
strains of the oratorio are never more appropriate
than at the season when young and old, rich
and poor, commemorate the advent of the
Messiah. The performance of the National
Choral Society last week was all that could
be desired, and we are glad to find that
it is to be repeated next Wednesday. Miss Louisa
Pyne and Miss Franklin, Mr. Leigh Wilson and
Mr. Patey took the principal parts. Miss Pyne's
solo, " I know that my Redeemer liveth" drew
thunders of applause ; and Miss Franklin's " He
shall feed his flock," was also given with great
expression. Mr. Leigh Wilson, who possesses a fine
voice and good natural ability, had an arduous
part, and showed to most advantage in the
less ambitious pieces. A little more time and ex-
perience will enable him to take a very high rank.
Mr. Patey was in good voice, and has greatly im-
proved in his style. The choruses were excellent,
no small praise for the "Messiah." Altogether, the
performance was a complete success, and we have
little doubt that its repetition on January 3 will be
equally profitable to the society and pleasant to the
audience.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Commissioner Goulburn.)

IN RE G. A. DE L. BIRCH.

This bankrupt was described as of the Be►igal police
corps and Bury-street, St. James's, and to-day was ap-
pointed for the last examination and order of discharge.
No accounts being filed the case was adjourned.

Royal Mail Steam Packet Company.

MEETING THIS DAY.

Tho usual half-yearly general meeting of this company
was hold at the London Tavern this day—Captain C. E.
Mangles, chairman, presiding. _

The report, which has already been publ:shed, was taken
as read.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption and that of the
statement of accounts, said that the directors met the
shareholders of the company, on the present occasion,
with great pleasure, as it afforded them an opportunity not
only of declaring an increased dividend, but of rendering an
account of their stewardship. It was with great pleasure
that the directors had to announce that during the last half
year, with one exception, there had been no loss of
life, ships, or property. (Hear, limn) He was
sure that fact would, as it should, afford the
shareholders great satisfaction, and that satisfaction
would be received with additional pleasure, as it enabled
the executive to declare an increase in the dividend. Com-
paring the accounts for the last half year with the preced-
ing period of the year 1864, it would be found that there
was an increase in the receipts, and the deficiency that was
shown in our former source of revenue arose from a dis-
continuance in the temporary arrangement for the
Honduras service, in consequence of which the
Government subsidy had been withdrawn, and the
shipment of treasure from England and Brazil, which in
the first half-year of 1864 was unusually large. However,
in all the items under the head of passage money there
had been an increase. He was satisfied that the financial
statement submitted to the meeting would be approved by
the shareholders. The insurance fund was in a very satis-
factory state, and the only debit was for the accident which
occurred to the Seineby the breaking out of a fire on
board last August.
Mr. TUFNELL seconded the motion, which was unani-
mously adopted.
The proceedings then terminated.

MONMOITTIISHIRE—MoNDAY.

Owing to the rather unfavourable weather, the atten"
dance at the local markets of the county has not been large

there is but little doubt a decided advantage would have
been secured before this in wheat. As matters are wheat

ing no resolution, two amendments were proposed,
but, on the question being put to the meeting, it was
decided that no resolution should be passed on the
subject.

Mr. DICKSON explained that the directors were
prepared to receive any proposal from the Govern-
ment, and it was their intention to call the share-
holders together should any proposal be made.
A dividend was then declared at the rate of 3 per
cent. per annum for the half-year ending the 30th
of June last, payable on the 30th of November
next.

Mr. Dickson and Mr. Greenfield, the retiring
directors, were then unanimously re-elected ; and
Mr. E. H. Bramah was elected a director of the
company. _ _

The CHAIRMAN explained that there was no ques-
tion between the directors and the Government ; it
was between thelatter and the company. The direc-
tors believed they had not only the confidence of the
shareholders, but the approval of the Brazilian Go-
vernment.
Mr. E. Cheshire, the retiring auditor, was re-
elected ; and, on the motion of Mr. J. Jones a vote
of thanks to the chairman and directors concluded
the proceedings.

A VICTIM TO THE STORM.

On Friday last J. J. Hardy, Esq., coroner for North
Northumberland, held an inquest at Scremerston, in the
parish of Tweedmouth, on the body of a man found on the
morning of the preceding day by one of the preventive
men between two rocks on the shore near Scremerston. A
vessel had been wrecked near at hand, but neither its name
nor that of the deceased wore known. All hands in the
vessel are supposed to have been lost. The body had on
a pair of white flannel drawers, and a pall- of blue ribbed
stockings, marked " P." Deceased was about five feet
seven inches, muscular, with brown hair and beard,
apparently about thirty years of age. Verdict—Found
drowned.

THE LATE TOTAL SHIPWRECK OFF
BERWICK.

Tho details of the wreck of the brig Janet Allison, of
Dundee, which took place off Berwick on Tuesday night
last, have now come to hand, and are of a most distressing
and painful character. The report of the catastrophe given
by Capt. Bailey, the only survivor, is as follows : On Tues-
day at noon he bore up for the Firth, and at that time it
was blowing very hard from the E.S.E., with a very heavy
sea. At seven p.m. he saw the land, hauled the brig on the
wind, and afterwards tried to stay. She missed stays, how-
ever, and striking the ground, she remained fast, lying
broadside on the rocks. Captain Bailey then had the
