MARLBOROUGH-STREET

STONE THROWING IN HIDE-PARK.—Albert Williams, s
respectable-looking lad, was charged before Mr. Knox
with throwing stones in Hyde-park.
Park-constable William Miliin, No. 19, said that about
half-past eight that morning a gentleman came up to him
in the park, near the Bayswater-road, and complained of
stones being thrown in the park, stating that one had
nearly struck him. He went to the spot and saw the de-
fendant and a number of others throwing stones at the
chestnut trees, and as the defendant was the biggest he
took him into custody.
The defendant said he had no questions to ask, and that
it was true that he had thrown at the trees.

Mr. Knox remarked that the stone throwing at the
chestnut trees was a serious nuisance, and that the boys
would nut be easy till some one's eye was cut out.
The constable said that persons could not walk down
the path near the Bayswater-road in safety.
_ _

Mr. Knox fined the defendant 55., or three days' impri-
sonment.

THE ROBBERY OF WORKS OF ART.—Georgo Rutherford
and George Chatham, the two young men charged with
stealing two Dresden china figures of the value of above
£5, from the shop of Mr. Nathan Woolf Jacobson, dealer
in works of art, Oxford-street, were again brought up.
The prisoners were stopped by sergeant Bentley, 13 C,
who observing they had something secreted under their
coats, suspected they had been engaged'in a robbery. His
suspicions turned out to be true, for he found upon them
the figures which were subsequently identified by the pro-
secutor as having been stolen from his shop. The sergeant
then took them into custody.
The prisoners pleaded guilty, and were committed for
three months each with hard labour.

STA rE OF TRADE

CARDIFF, Sept. 26.---The collieries of the district
have been working with tolerable regularity during
the last few days, and merchants are fairly off for
orders. x There is an average Continental demand,
and the exports to the Eastern markets are increas-
ing. The railways are competing successfully for
the trade to certain points, and the quantity of coal
sent by rail is greater than it has ever been. Several
new collieries are being opened in the Rhondda and
Caerphilly valleys, and the get of coal will shortly
be considerably increased. The Irish, West of
England, and other coasting buyers of house coal
are taking in winter supplies and the shipments are
fully up to the average. The home consumption is
small, but as the cold weather sets in the demand is
likely to improve. In the iron trade the improved
feeling which has been evinced for several weeks is
maintained, and the orders on the books are suffi-
cient to keep the works going regularly for some
time. American transactions are being gradually
regarded with more favour, but it will take many
months before confidence is re-established. Higher
quotations are asked for pig iron. The patent fuel
works are fairly employed, and the local founders
are pretty busy.

LEICESTER, 27th.—There is continued activity in
all branches of the hosiery trade. Manufacturers
remain well employed in the warehouses, and orders
are plentiful. Business is also healthy in the coun-
try districts, and the workpeople well employed.
Worsted yarns continue firm, and spinners are well
engaged. Cotton yarns command very high prices.
IThere is a fair amount of business doing in wools
for the season, and prices continue high.
NOTTINGHAM, 27th.—There is no revival in the
lace trade at present, but it is expected that the
Americans will operate shortly. Cotton fabrics
generally are dull, and prices continue exceedingly
high. There is not much doing in any class of
silk goods. Mechlins are not in demand, and black
laces sell but slowly. The demand for hosiery
goods continues very active. There have been
several American buyers in the market during the
past few days, and orders have been freely placed.
Manufacturers complain of the great difficulty they
experience in obtaining sufficient labour, as many
hands left the trade during the , recent flat season.
Yarns are advancing in price. Last week spinners
demanded 2s. to 3s. advance on 101 b. bundles.

The iron screw steam troopship Orontes, Capt.
Henry W. Hire, from Portsmouth, arrived at Ply-
mouth on Wednesday, and was supplied with coal
and embarked supernumerary officers and men for
China.

UXBRIDGE AND RICKMANSWORTII.

The half-yearly general meeting of this company
was held yesterday at the offices, Bedford-street,
Strand ; Lord Ebury in the chair.
Mr. FORBES, the secretary, having read the notice
convening the meeting, the report, an abstract of
which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read.
The CIIAIRMAN moved its adoption, which was
seconded.

Capt. BULRELEY proposed the adjournment of the
meeting on the ground that neither he nor Mr.
Ogilvy were aware of any negotiations pending be-
tween that company and the Great Western Com-
pany, of which latter they were directors.
The SECRETARY explained that the solicitors of
the two companies had been so engaged, off and on,
since March last year. The negotiations had been
suspended for some time and had been recently re-
newed ; but as the company's solicitor was not pre-
sent, he could not give any further information.
He hoped, however, that a stop would soon be put
to all further delay.

Captain BULKELEY said he believed that a sealed
agreement now existed between the two companies,
and he.could see no harm in adjourning the meeting
for a month.

The CHAIRMAN could see no advantage in it. The
report contained a statement of facts ; it involved
and bound them to nothing.
In reply to a question, it was stated that all the
shareholders except two had paid up the last call.
On the amendment for the adjournment of the
meeting being put, it was carried by proxies held by
Captain Bulkeley and Mr. Venables, and the meet-
ing was adjourned accordingly to Monday, Oct. 30.

RICKMANSIVORTH, AMERSHAM, AND CHESHAM.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was ap-
pointed to be held yesterday at the offices, Bedford-
street, Strand ; Lord Ebury in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said it was only necessaryto state,
as the meeting was held pro forma, that the Act ob-
tained by the company last session extended the
time allowed for completing the purchase of land
required for the railway till the Ist of August, 1867,
and for the construction of works and completion of
the line to August, 1868. In all probability the
works would be commenced in the course of a few
months, by which time the directors hoped that the
negotiations for the purchase of the requisite land,
and the Arrangements for working the line when
constructed, would be completed.

THAMES.

MUTINY 'AMONG SEAMEN.—William East, John Smith,
Andrew L. Hammer, Charles Greenland, Fred. Tyler, and
Arthur Sharp, seamen belonging to the ship Magnificent,
were brought before Mr. Paget, charged under the 243 d
clause of the Merchant Shipping Act, with refusing to pro-
ceed to sea in the -vessel on a voyage to Melbourne and
elsewhere.

Mr. C. Young, solicitor, prosecuted, on behalf of Mr. R.
Hughes, the owner of the Magnificent, which is a ship of
1,282 tons register. He said the ship was to have gone
away this morning, but owing to the refusal of the priso-
ners to proceed to sea, the vessel could not leave the river
until to-morrow or next day. The men signed articles at
the Sailors' Home in Well-street on Wednesday last, and
joined the ship on Saturday. Yesterday they refused to
work, and said the dinner was bad. In the evening they
said there were too many foreigners. Three of the pri-
soners, Smith, Hammer, and Greenland, were foreigners.
Captain Ormond Thomas said the ship was well pro-
visioned, and the dietary scale unexceptionable. He was
out of the ship when the dinner was cooked. He promised
them that he would make everything comfortable on the
voyage.

East said that a lot of beef which had been knocking
about the forecastle for three days was cooked yesterday.
When he complained of it the steward laid it on the cask.
The captain pointed his finger at him and said, I wish I
had you in deep water. Ho would not go in the ship with
such a captain for £lO per month.
Captain Thomas said there was really no causo of com-
plaint.

_
East said he was sneered at.
Captain Thomas said that what he said was not meant as
a sneer.

After a long discussion Hammer, a Swede, and Tyler, an
English lad, agreed to return to the ship. The others said
they would rather go to prison than go in the ship. A
row the first day they were on board did not promise well.
Mr. Paget discharged Hammer and Tyler, who, he said,
had acted like sensible men. There was really nothing
to find fault in the vessel or the captain. East was the
ringleader, and he sentenced him to eight weeks' imprison-
ment and hard labour, and Smith, Greenland, Walters, and
Sharp to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour.

EAST SOMERSET.

The report states -that the increase in the traffic
returns for the year 1864 over those of 1863 was
22 per cent. The gross earnings for the six months
ending the 31st of December, 1864, amounted to
£3,665, which, after deducting the fixed sum of
£1,032 for interest on debenture debt and rent-
charges, left £2,633 to be divided between the two
companies—viz., £1,580, or 60 per cent. to the
Great Western, and £1,053, or 40 per cent. to the
East Somerset. Out of this sum the directors ad-
vised that a dividend should be declared on the pre-
ference shares at the rate of 3i per cent. per annum
for the six months ending the 31st of December
last, free of income tax, leaving the remainder to go
towards liquidation of the balance due to the
bankers on income account. They recommended
the continued application of the sum for dividend
towards the payment of liabilities on capital ac-
count, at the same time crediting the account of
each preference shareholder with the amount of his
dividend, for which a preference share would be
issued in his name when the sum so credited
amounted to £lO. The capital account showed a
total expenditure to the 31st of December last of
£158,205, leaving a balance of £3,009 due to the
bankers.

stated that the line had been set out and the plans
prepared. The line would be six miles five furlongs in

chased. One mile of the line had been fenced in,

year. The expenditure on capital account amounted
to £2,299. _

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, explained that the *Great Eastern Company
would work the line, and contribute £lO,OOO to-
