" The convention signed by the Great German
Powers has just been published. It is not our
intention to discuss its different clauses, but it is
impossible for us not to point out the unfavourable
reception it has met with even in Germany. The
principle of the union of the Duchies is one which
has hitherto been most constantly proclaimed by
the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin, but the Gastein
stipulations proceed from a contrary order of ideas.
They, moreover, imply no participation of the
Duchies in the settlement of their own destinies, and
take no account of the nationality of the inhabitants
of Northern Schleswig. The two Courts, it is
true, represent this arrangement to he provisional.
They have only geograpically separated the use of
their rights of sovereignty until a fresh understand-
ing has been arrived at. It is therefore necessary
to wait before passing a definite judgment upon
their policy on the question of the Duchies.

meeting
WEST LONDON WHARVES.
The half-yearly
of this company was
held on Tuesday at the London Tavern, Mr. Hol-
royd in the chair.
The report, an abstract of
The Sun, was taken as read which has appeared in
.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving
the
was
sptdion of the
report, said at the last meeting it
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. He 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.

Serious Railway Collision.

An accident of a very terrible nature happened to a Mid-
land excursion train, when passing the Colney Hatch Sta-
tion, Great Northern Railway, last night, by which between
20 and 30 of the passengers were more or less injured, and
a serious amount of the railway stock destroyed. The train
was run by the Midland Railway Company from Notting-
ham, Derby, and the adjacent places, and was timed to
arrive at King's-cross at a quarter before 8 o'clock. It had
proceeded as far as the Colney Hatch Station in safety ;
but at that part of its journey it ran into a coal or goods
train, with the unfortunate result stated. It appears that
the arrival of this excursion train was known to the offi-
cials at the Colney Hatch Station, and that the goods train
was being shunted out of Its way when the up train came
into collision with it. The passengers describe the shock
as terrible, and it is astounding that the casualties which
consequently ensued were not far more serious than re-
ported. The officials at King's-cross state that there are
from 20 to 30 sufferers, but up to 2 o'clock this (Thursday)
morning no fatal case had been reported.
The engine of the excursion train, after it had dashed
into the goods train, smashing several of them to pieces,
fell over, and now lies on its side in a very damaged state.
The up line was blocked up by the fragments of broken
carriages. The station-master at Colney Hatch at once
forwarded a telegram to King's-cross, reporting the serious
nature of the collision, and took immediate measures for
relieving the riounded passengers. They were, after con-
siderable difficulty, extricated from amidst the debris of
the smashed carriages, and those who were seriously in-
jured taken to an adjoining hotel, but the majority were
enabled to proceed to town by a short train, which was
sent up on the down line. Orders were given to collect
some of the fragments of the broken carriages, and light
a fire by which to work in removing some of the ob-
struction which had completely stopped all traffic. The
officials at King's-cross, immediately they received infor-
mation of the accident, procured a staff of officers, with
some medical men, and despatched them to the scene of the
collision, where their services were urgently needed.
The cause of the collision is not known—at least whether
any person is guilty of culpable negligence. It is stated
that the "block" signal was on at the distance, so as to pre-
vent the driver of the excursion train from passing, but
that he either did not see it or else did not attend to it.
The guard of the train states that the whistle sounded, and
that he applied his break, which would seem to prove that
the driver was attending to his duties. It is certain, how-
ever, that from some unfortunate cause or another the ex-
cursion train did proceed, and came into collision with
the goods train, which was being shunted at that moment.
The traffic was stopped for several hours, and at last the
up trains had to be passed on by the down line.

'EATH BY BURNING.-A frightful case of burn-
ing took place at Leicester on Tuesday afternoon. The
deceased, Mrs. Glover, a milliner, residing in Cauk-street,
was sitting near the fire in a room at the lower part of the
house. A cinder fell upon her silk dress, and she waS
quickly enveloped in flames. She was removed to the
infirmary, and died there about eleven o'clock.

or worried by nervous fancies or neuralgic pains. They
correct acidity and heartburn, dispel sick headache, quicken
the action of the liver, and act as alteratives and gentle

every organ to its natural standard, and universally exer-
cise a calming and sedative influence.

THE EMPEROR'S "LIFE OF JULIUS C/ESAR.”—The

is preparing the second volume of " L'Histoire do Jules
Cesar." Tho manuscript is being put in type at the Im-
perial Printing-office, and nearly ten sheets are now ready.
That amount scarcely makes up one-half of the volume,
which w ill not come out, it is said, before the beginning of
next -ear.

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-
Bible period.

The report was adopted, and the proceedings con-
cluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman.
London, England, 1865-08-31

MONMOUTHSHIRE.

The directors of this company had determined on
recommending to the shareholders a dividend at the
rate of 6f per cent. per annum for the past half-
year, being the same rate as for the previous and
corresponding half-years, leaving a considerable
balance. The traffic' showed an increase during the
half-year of over £2,000, and the financial position
of the company was satisfactory.
London, England, 1865-08-31

SHREWSBURY AND POTTERIES JUNCTION.

The first ordinary general meeting of this com-
pany was held yesterday at the offices, Westminster-
chambers, Victoria-street ; Mr. A. P. Lattey in the
chair.

Mr. Wade, the secretary, read the report, which
congratulated the shareholders on the successful
result of the application to Parliament for authoris-
ing the construction of the railway. The import-
ance of the line was evidenced by the opposition of
the London acid North-Western and Great Western
Companies, with the view of maintaining in their
hands the monopoly which they had endeavoured to
establish. But, notwithstanding all opposition,
Parliament sanctioned this line of railway ; and the
directors believed its construction would be found of
the greatest importance to the dib' itrict through which
it passed, and be remunerative to the proprietors.
The Act of Parliament enabled them to make work-
ing arrangements with the Shrewsbury and North
Wales Railway Company, and by the exercise of
these powers the line on the one hand would com-
municate with very productive mineral districts, and
on the other, by means of running powers over a
Portion of the North Staffordshire Railway, they
would reach the Populous district of the Potteries.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, the report was
adopted, and the directors and auditOrswere elected.
The remuneration of the auditors was fixed at £lO
each per annum, the salary of the secretary at £3OO
per annum, and the remuneration of the directors
at £5OO per annum. The proceedings of the ordi-
nary meeting concluded with a vote of thanks to the
chairman and directors.

The meeting was then made special, and a con-1
tract between Mr. R. S. France and the company
was agreed to. It provided for the purchase of land
for a double line on the narrow gauge, and the con-
struction of the whole line, 24 miles at length, by
the Ist of July next.
The proceedings then terminated.

THE CHOLERA.—The Odessa Gazette annOnces
that there have been five cases of cholera at Galatz,
of which two terminated fatally; five cases of cholera had
also occurred on board three vessels which had arrived
at Odessa from Constantinople. General Kotzebue
has issued an order that all vessels coming from
the Principalities, Constantinople, and the Turkish
ports of the Black Sea shall undergo ten days'
quarantine. Moreover, the Governor-General, after con-
sulting with the authorities and physicians of the city, has
ordered that all vessels coming from foreign ports shall be
stopped naar Langeron (five versts from The c
where a
guard shall be placed to watch them. The quarantine of
the town is quite closed, and there is no communication
with it. A committee has been formed at Odessa to deli-
berate upon the measures to be taken to stop the cholera,
and diminish its effects in case it should appear in the town.
THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON'S VISIT TO ARENEN-
BERG.—The Wachter am Rhein tells the following
story:—During his late visit to Arenenberg, the Emperor
took great pleasure in seeing his former neighbours and
having a familiar talk with them. Re was received by the
inhabitants with great enthusiasm. On his return from
the Lake of Constance, finding that the gates of the park
at Arenenberg were besieged by a dense crowd, he ordered
the people to be all admitted, and mingled among them,
shaking hands with every one he recognised. A little old
woman of Salenstein, on being accosted by him in these
words, "Well, good woman, haw you too recognised me?'
answered " Yes, yes, Mr. Emperor, I know you well
enough ; but you look a little older than when 1 saw you
last." The Emperor on leaving Switzerland gave a sum
of 30,000 fr. for the poor in the communes around Aronen
berg.
The Duchess Adelaide of Augustenburg, who, it
has been stated, went to meet the Royal family of
England at Coburg, has returned to Nieustedten,
Holstein.

SWANSEA AND ABERYSTWITII JUNCTION.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the offices, 73, Ethelburga-house,
Bishopgate-street ; Mr. J. W. Johns in the chair.

The report stated that the results of the appli-
cation to Parliament by the company had been
such as would enable them to make deviations in
their railways to much advantage, and by which
valuable improvements in the lines would be effected.
Power had also been obtained to confirm the agree-
ments made for running powers to Aberystwith and
Llanidloes, in pursuance of amicable arrangements
entered into with the Manchester and Milford and
Mid-Wales Railway Companies. Considerable pro-
gress had been made in laying out the line, in the
course of which it had been ascertained that a better
gradient and a lower summit level might be adopted
tivithin the authorised limits of deviation without
additioA4l cost ; and active preparations were now

proceeding for the purchase of lands and the com-
mencement of the works.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving that the report be
adopted, said the powers theyhad obtained for alter-
ing the gradients and levels of the line would im-
prove its character to a great extent. They hoped
to be able to report great progress in the construc-
tion of the works next half-year.
The report was adopted.
London, England, 1865-08-31

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 1864, 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.

Valuation of Life Liabilities•

A pamphlet on the subject of the valuation of
the Life Liabilities of the Royal Insurance Com-
pany has lately appeared, which, while modestly
termed by the author an Appendix to the Report,
as the actuary to the directors of that company, has,
in truth, a much wider interest. In this able
publication, of about 50 pages, not merely are the
results of the business of the particular company
disclosed, with an entire absence of reserve which
is worthy of imitation by every other life office,
but the object of the talented author appears to
have been so to bring down to the level of the
unprofessional mind the abstruse science of the
application of vital statistics to life insurance,
that the intelligent reader may follow every step
in ascertaining the liabilities, and the application
of the profits resulting from the business of a
great and leading life insurance company.
It is satisfactory to add that the particular
business which forms the theme of this work ap-
pears to have been most gratifying in its results,
as is sufficiently evidenced by the following ex-
tract from its pages:—
" The statement of accounts for the last twenty
years shows, as a final result, the entire accumula-
tion of funds on the life assurance branch to be, on
the 31st Dec., 1864 £571,046 11 1
" The amount required to be re-
tained to accumulate at three
per cent. interest to meet the
liabilities of the company, as
shown by the laborious calcula-
tions above described, is 402,087 16 10
" The amount of profit on the last
five years is, therefore 168,958 14 3
Sufficient, even though the interest of money should
only be three per cent., to provide a reversionary
bonus of £2 per cent. per annum, to be added to
the original sum assured of every participating
policy effected previously to the Ist January, 1863,
and existing on the Ist January,
.1865, for each
entire year that it had been in existence since the
last appropriation of bonus."

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TUNBRIDGE RACES-WEDNESDAY,

The weather on Wednesday was again beautifully fine,
and the attendance more numerous even than on the pre-
vious day. The fields wore numerically strong and the
sport excellent. The promoters, Messrs. Chadwick and
Bennett, had done all that lay in their power to bring the
meeting to a successful issue, and those gentlemen, with
Mr. Verrall, have ample grounds to congratulate them-
selves upon the increasing importance of the gathering.
Details of the running will be found below :

Hadji's Daughter being left at the post. The Maid cut out
the running, followed by Domino and Bayleaf, the others
well up until reaching the turn for home, when Domino
took the lead, and the Lady Kingston filly passed Bayleaf
and took third place ; Domino, however, maintained his
lead to the end, and won cleverly by a length ; two
lengths separating the second and third. The Lady King..

after going some distance had the race to themselves.
When they reached the straight Nightingall began riding
his horse, and a fine rate home with Bunch resulted in
favour of Castle Hill by half a length; four lengths between
second and third; Mysterious Lady was fourth; and
Bounding Brick, fifth. Fomentation ran out among the
people at the commencement of the straight. The winner

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

Last evening a serious accident occurred to an excursion
train returning by the Great Northern Railway to London.
On Saturday last a large number of persons availed them-
selves of a four days' excursion to Nottingham, Leicester,
Derby, &c., the return train being due yesterday evening at
a quarter before eight at King's-cross. The passengers,
who, having enjoyed their holiday, took their seats for
the return journey, proceeded safely homeward,
though somewhat behind time, as far as Colney Hatch, but
between this station and Wood Green, near Southgate sta-
tion, the excursion train, which was of great length, ran
into a coal train, and the engine, after smashing two or three
waggons of coal, ran off the rails and turned over on its
side. Many of the excursionists were much cut and bruised,
and a large number greatly shaken, but up to a late hour
this (Thursday) morning it was impossible to ascertain
exactly the 'Amber that were hurt, nor the extent of their
injuries. As soon as the accident was made known, seve-
ral medical men were in attendance at the station at King's
cross. Mr. Christopher Heath, of Saville-row ; Mr. Luke,
Euston-road ; Dr. Paul, of Burton-crescent, and others
rendered efficient help to the sufferers, and on the scene of
the accident Dr. Kirkwood, medical attendant to the com-
pany, was present, and superintended the removal of the
injured passengers to London. Among those most seri-
ously hurt were Miss Broughton, Liverpool-street, who
was suffering from concussion of the brain ; Master Sharpe,
a boy eight years old, also suffering from concussion of
the brain ; Mr. Dawson, from Brighton, who, instead of
proceeding to hid' home, as he had purposed, was com-
pelled by a serious contusion of the knee to stop at the
Great Northern Hotel. Mrs. Hitchcock and her son, from
Hoxton, as well as a lady residing in Hatton-garden, name
not given, are also very severely bruised; a young lady
from Cleveland-square, much shaken and bruised ; Miss
Innocent, 17, Albert-street, Paddington-green, badly cut
in the eye. Several other passengers were also compelled
by their bruises and hurts to remain at the Great Northern
Hotel, and one or two remained at Southgate under the
care of Dr. Kirkwood.

MARK-LANE.

The demand for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday ruled quiet, and in some instances a decline in
prices of Is per quarter took place. Good and fine
malting barley was very firm at fully late rates.
Other kinds of spring corn, including flour, supported pre-
vious quotations.
On the Continent the wheat trade is steady at full prices,
and spring corn fully supports previous quotations. At
New York flour has commanded more attention on
higher terms, but the trade for wheat is slow at barely late
rates.

Fresh up to our market to-day a small supply of
wheat was received from Essex and Kent. The condition
of the produce was very middling. The trade for good
and fine dry samples ruled, on the whole, steady ; and last
Monday's currency was supported. As regards inferior
and damp produce, the trade was in a most inactive state ;
noverthless, the prices realised, although a drooping ten-
dency was decidedly apparent, were without quotable
change from this day se'nnight
The supply of foreign wheat on sale was only mode-
rate. There was a want of animation in the trade, and
the amount of business transacted was somewhat restricted.
In prices, as compared with Monday last, no quotable
change took place.

Floating cargoes, both of wheat and spring corn, moved
off steadily at full quotations.
The market was somewhat more freely supplied with
English barley, and the show of fresh produce was mode-
rate. Malting parcels of good and fine quality were scarce,
and changed hands at quite late rates ; otherwise, the bar-
ley trade was steady at last Munday's currency.
The malt trade was firm, and the late advance in prices
was well supported.
Oats were in good supply, but the samples on offer al-
most entirely represented foreign produce. The trade
was quieter than on Friday last, and in some instances
prices declined Gd per quarter.
The few beans of English growth on offer changed
hands at fully late rates.
Peas were firm, at the extreme prices of Monday last.
The show of samples on offer was limited.
There was a moderate demand for flower, at late prices.
