POLICE INTELLIGENCE,---This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

MISCHIEVOUS AMUSEMENT.--Mr. Andrew Brobhy, of 3,
Holsey-terrace, Chelsea, student, and Mr. George Hurst,
of 43, Cambridge-street, Pimlico, artist, wore charged be-
fore
g drunk and behaving in a
disorderly Mr
manner,Yhitt andth also being
with knocking at several doors
in Down-street, Piccadilly.
rwwib n

W. Gordon, 33 C, proved seeing the defendants, accom-
panied by two other gentlemen and a prostitute, coming
from the direction of the Ilaymarket, turn into Down-
street, and the defendants then went up to the doors of
Nos. 4,6, 7, and 8, and knock loudly at them. The gentle-
man residing at No. 4 promised to attend, but had not done
so.

In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the constable said the de-
fendants were not sober.

One of the defendants said that ho had been out spend-
ing the evening with his friends, and at the time the con-
stable came up he was trying to get them home, they not
being in a fit state to go without assistance.
The other defendant said that he did not knock at the
door. All he knew was a gentleman came out of a house,
a constable was looming in tho distance, and, on his com-
ing up, took them into custody.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a most mischievous thing to
knock at person's doors in the middle of the night, and he
should fine the defendants 10s. each, or seven days, but
they might have been fined 40s.

MEXICO.

Advices from Mexico to the 29th ult., published
in the New York journals, report that General
Bazaine had been defeated several times in the pro-
vince of Oaxica. Juarez was said to be in Somera.
The Tribune says private letters from Mexico
state that the Liberals are rising in the parts from
which the French had withdrawn. Diaz is asserted
to have 12,000 men, and the entire Liberal party
numbered 60,000 men.

Washington despatches state that semi-official
advices from Somera announce that a large force of
Imperialists under Vega had invaded that province.

The Mexican General Patori started to attack
Vega. The French sent reinforcements on board
the steamer Lucifer, which were landed at Altanta.

Colonel Rosalia attacked and defeated the rein-
forcements at San Pedro, capturing their artillery
and some prisoners, including Sagrilla, who com-
manded the expedition.
Patori, at the same time, defeated Vega at
Elfurta, capturing his artillery and many prisoners,
including Vega himself, who was shot as a traitor.

intermixedaceanticipateis t
Genteel Irish Novelists.—Maxwell and Lover had
already given us the Irishman of low life, with sketches
oldf times," but their books were to Mr. Lever's what broad
l llis stories are mainly of tra-
velled
own country—that is essentiaasls; anltd,isgeeanseyraelnlyoughto-yelled Irishmen of the m' iddl

rather older than himself, and who would be
mfaeryloung lady
and a tendency to fall in boyish love with
ve
in station only for the good old rule that "one Irish' familyhim
is always as good as another—if not better." Of cours
the young gentleman is torn away ; he enters the English
French, Austrian, or Garibaldian army ; he becomes aide-
,
de-camp to an emperor, a field marshal, or a filibuster ; he:
serves with distinction, gets several wounds, and has brain
fever. This is essential. We do not remember any of
Mr. Lever's novels where the hero did not get brain fever;
it is as inevitable as James's "last rays of the setting sun,"
or Wouverman's " white horse ;" or perhaps it is a kind of
trade mark to preclude piracy. A Sister of Charity is then
introduced, and scraps of French light up the story. Then
we have more adventure ; some temporary infidelity to the
first love in the shape of a flirtation with an Austrian prin-
cess, or a Spanish signora, or an Italian dame ; the presence
.of the hero at a great battle—Leipsic, Waterloo, Solferino,
or the capture of Naples ; intimate conversations with
Napoleon, Blucher, Wellington, to the
Talleyrand, or
Garibaldi ; and restoration, finally, to the object of his early
attachment, who has followed him, &c., thrilled at, &c.
&c., and "wept tears of joy to hear him praised." This is
the only Lever novel ; without these marks none are
genuine.—Saturday Review.

MARK-LANE.

' There was a great want of activity in the demand for
wheat in the country markets held on Saturday. The
prices realised, however, were without material change
from the previous week. The barley trade ruled quiet;
but as regards oats, beans, and peas, the markets presented
a firm appearance. For flour there was a moderate inquiry
at late rates.

Abroad, the prominent feature is an improved demand
for wheat and flour at New York, wholly, however, for
American consumption. The wheat trade on the continent
continues quiet, but spring corn rules firm.

Small supplies of English produce were received up to
our market last week. No imports of wheat, rye, beans,
peas, tares, mange, and barrel flour took place, and the
arrivals of other articles were small ; viz., 26,581 quarters
of barley, 1,040 oats, 1,764 linseed, 7,168 oil and cotton
seed, 50 sundry seeds, and 115 sacks of flour.
A vary moderate supply of English wheat was received
fresh up to our market, to-day. Generally speaking, the
trade was in a sluggish state ; but the condition of the

produce on offer being somewhat inferior, good and fine
dry qualities were disposed of at the full prices of Monday
last. Damp wheats sold heavily, yet no alteration took
place in their value.

London, England, 1865-02-27

There was a moderate supply of most descriptions

foreign wheat on the stands. Notwithstanding the recent
small importations, millers operated to a very moderate
extent, both in American and continental produce, As re-
gards prices, however, the trade was decidedly firm, and in
the transactions concluded, the full rates of Thursday last
were obtained.

Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request,
at about previous rates.

The supply of English barley on sale was very mode-
rate, but there was a full average supply of foreign samples
on the stands. Malting qualities were in slow request, on
former terms. For grinding samples there was a moderate
demand at the late advance in prices.
• Malt changed hands to a moderate extent at previous
quotations.

The market was but moderately supplied with oats; the
trade, however, was much less active than on Monday last
nevertheless, that day's improvement in the quotations was
steadily maintained.

There was an increased supply of beans on offer. Small
descriptions were firm in price, but for larger sorts the
trade was less active, and the quotations were somewhat

easier.

For peas, owing to the small supply on offer, the trade
was firm, at full currencies.

Very little barrel flour was exhibited for sale, and the
trade was firm, at from 21s to 26s per barrel. English and
'oreign sack flour was in fair average request, at previous

rates.

NORTH AND SOUTH WESTERN JUNCTION.

The half-yearly general meeting of this company
was held at Euston Station on Friday ; Mr, H.
Tootal in the chair.

The report stated that the recent working under
the agreement with the London and North Western
and the London and South Western Companies had
reduced the receipts from merchandise and minerals.
The receipts amounted to £4,893, against £5,538
in the same half of 1864, and £4,325 in the same
half of 1863. The decrease in the receipts from
passengers was attributable to the general reduction
of fares, necessitated by the opening of the Ham-
mersmith and City line, and to the abstraction of
traffic by that railway from this company's Ham-
mersmith branch. It was proposed to liquidate the
debit balance on renewal accounts amounting to
£1,240, by annual instalments, debiting all addi-
tional relaying to the same account. The directors
proposed to carry to the credit of this account the
sum of £258 premium realised on the issue of the
new share capital. The general result, after pay-
ment of interest on debentures, was a net balance
to the credit of revenue of £2,484, from which the
directors recommended a dividend at the rate of 5
per cent. per annum, leaving £234 for the current
half-year. The capital account showed that £88,619
had been expended on the main line and £23,650
on the Hammersmith branch—total, £112,269.
The revenue account showed that £5,195 had been
received, and £2,137 expended, leaving a balance
of £3,058.1

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said he trusted that in the next, half-year
they would be able to pay the usual dividend of
6 per cent. per annum.
Mr. MANGLES seconded the motion, which was
adopted, and a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent.
per annum was declared for the half-year.

CARMARTHEN AND CARDIGAN.

The committee of bondholders appointed to inves-
tigate into the financial position of this company
have reported that the sum of £970,143 constitutes
the total capital liability of the company. The seve-
ral acts obtained by the company only authorised the
raising of £524,000, so that the capital had been
exceeded by £446,143. The railway was only 20
miles in length, and the cost of construction, includ-
ing Parliamentary and other expenses, had conse-
quently been nearly £50,000 per mile. The bonds
were, it was said, issued in many instances at a
heavy discount. The only hope for the bond fide
shareholders and bondholders to receive any return
on their investments was the probable sale of the
undertaking to the Manchester and Milford Com-
pany, and if this should be the case it was believed
that about one-third of the nominal capital expenses
would ultimately be realised.

RAILWAY AND OTHER COMPANIES

KENT COAST.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
on Friday, at the Victoria Station ; Sir C. Roney
in the chair.

The report, an abstract of which has appeared in
2he Sun, was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, congratulated the shareholders on the satis-
factory position of the company. He stated that
after the payment of debenture interest and general
charges the net balance of revenue to the 30th of
June last amounted £11,228, out of which they had
been enabled to pay a dividend at the rate of 6 per
cent. per annum on the preference stock of the com-
pany, and carry forward a balance of £2,202 towards
a dividend upon the A shares. The receipts for the
first half of the year were usually not more than
half those of the second half, arising from the traffic
being largest during the summer months.
The report was then adopted, and the meeting
having been made special the directors were autho-
rized to convert the 30,250 A £lO shares and the
12,000 new shares of £lO each into £422,500 ordi-
nary stock.
The proceedings concluded with a rote of thanks
to the chairman.
