WEST HARTLEPOOL HARBOUR IND RAILWAY.—The
report of the directors presented to the general meeting,
of the proprietors, on the 19th inst., stated that the ac-
counts exhibite 1 a progressive and gratifying result. The
gross revenue receipt for the year ending 30th June,
1854, were 120,2751. 14s. Bd., being an increase of
17,8621. 17e. on the year ending June, 1353. The
working expenses were 56,413/. 10s. sd. ; and after
discharging interest on debenture debt and fixed
charges upon the year's revenue, a balance remains
of 39,8791. ss. 5d., which satisfied all preferential
claims, and was adequate to a dividend of 41. per
centutn per annum upon the consolidated stock of the
company, leaving a surplus of 1,0031. 2s. 11d. to the
credit of next year's account. The report MU unani-
mously adopted, and the meeting separated, with a vote
of thanks to the directors.

RETURN HOME.—II 6 is said to be one of the
curses of the " state" that it can never move without
being wither noted or feted. It would seem that with
our Carmarthenshire neighbours the evil extends lower
down in the scale social than royalty. There an M.P.
can neither go up to town nor return from it without
the occasion being noted by a "day," or at least an
evening. Thus the return of the hon. member for Car-
marthenshire lays an embargo on the bells of St. Peter's
Church and the wind power of a band that perambulates
the town. The hon. member for the county (Mr. Jones,
.
of Pantglas) made the occasion of a goodly amount of
rustic bustle and bonfire, aided by the copious libations
of John Barleycorn. The inference that we draw from
these premises is—not simply the extent of respect felt
for the lion. members—though we dare say they are, as
they merit to be, respected—but that the mode of ex-
pressing that respect shows that " time" is rather a
plentiful article in Carmarchenshire, and that micro work
would present less opportunity for displays, which, we
confess, do not raise a population in our estimate, par-
taking as such " lionising" does so much of feudalism.—
Swansea Herald.
A man, named Pissembert, was executed on the 14th
at Condom for murder. In order to be able to marry a
second time, he had the cruelty during a period of six
months to administer poison to his wife, day by day,
until ho effected her death. When he arrived at the
place of execution, Pissembert appeared hi a state of
great excitement. `°Help, help ,he shouted; • they
are going to murder me—l am innocent." On the acid.. I -
fold he attempted to resist, but the three executioners who
were present soon forced him on the sliding plank, and
the next moment he had creased to live.--Gralignoni.

the room was ♦ery thinly attended.

Cesarewitch, and 500 to 15 against the Nailer for the
Derby, were the only bets laid.
