VICTORIA STATION AND PIMLICO.

The report of the directors of this company states
that the half-yearly accounts show the usual divi-
dend of 9 per cent. per annum. The whole of the
debenture debt of the company was extinguished
at the close of the half-year. Some of the holders
of the debentures falling due on the 31st of De-
cember, 1869, and the Ist of January, 1870, had the
option of converting their bonds into the 4f per
cent. debenture stock of the company, and their
bonds were accordingly cancelled, and so converted.
The remainder were paid off. The capital account
of the company was therefore, so far as the direc-
tors could foresee, finally closed. The expendi-
ture on capital account to the 31st of December,
amounted to £481,855, leaving a balance of £5,467.

FRANCE.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)
PARIS, Jan. 11.
Different versions of the tragic cvent at Auteuil,
appear in the papers of this morning.
The one written by Prince Pierre Bonaparte is
in conformity with the account of the affair which
appears in the Constitutionnel, excepting that the
Prince says he took the revolver out of his pocket.

The version given by the Marseillaise is that M.
Fonvielle and M. Noir called yesterday a. one
o'clock on Prince Bonaparte, as the secr,ads of M.
Paschal Grousser, to demand an explan ttion in.
reference to certain articles which had appeared in
the morning papers. The Prince asked whether
they came from M. Rochefort, and the
seconds replied that they called about another
matter. Prince Bonaparte inquired whether
the gentlemen acting as seconds undertook the re-
sponsibility of M. Rochefort's acts, in re,,,ty to
which they said, "We are responsible for our
friends." Thereupon Prince Pierre Bonaparte came
forward, and, without any provocation, gave M.
Noir a blow in the face with his left hand, and
at the same time drawing from his pocket a ten-
chambered revolver, discharged it at that gen-
tleman within arms length off where be

standing. M. Noir immediately fell, and the
Prince then made a dash at M. Fonvielle and fired
at him. M. Fonvielle took from his pocket a pistol
to defend himself, and the Prince, seeing M. Fon-
vielle armed, retired a few paces and placed him-
self before the door, aiming at M. Fonvielle. The
latter, however, escaped from the room, but as he
was going out received another shot, which went
through his paletot.
