Pending the completion of the transfers, certifi-

According to a circular of Mr. F. M. Page, the
Specie payments to the East, via Alexandria,
amounted last year to £9,053,186, against
£10,189,904 in 1868, showing a decrease of
£1,136,718. Owing to the reduction of the Indian
cotton supply since 1865 the total exports of specie
have from that date experienced more or less dimi-
- Illation. The average for the past ten years has been
£13,445,191, the largest remittances being in 1864,
when they amounted to £24,318,189, and the smal-
lest in 1867, when they were only £3,659,154. Last
Year the shipments to Alexandria were exception-
ally swollen by the Egyptian Loan, the amount
having been £4,765,881, while this year they have
been £703,945.
At a special meeting of the Caledonian Railway
Company, held in Glasgow, bills were approved of

jointly with the Glasgow and South-Western, the
Glasgow, Paisley, and Johnstone Canal, and au-
thorising the abandonment of a portion of the
Callauder and Oban line, and its completion only
to Tyndrum. A similar bill was adopted at a
Special meeting of the Callender and Oban Com-
pany- The half-yearly meeting of the same com-
pany was afterwards held, when the report was
adopted, which intimated that the line was to be
opened for traffic in the ensuing summer as far. as
Rillin station.

Depot Carriage Company, with a capital of

tion on the plan of the Parisian 4, Voiture de
Remise."

POLICE INI ELLIGFIVCR—This Day.

WESTMINSTER.
LOST IN LONDON.—Robert Hamilton, in the garb
of an engineer, but covered with mud, was charged
with being drunk and incapable of taking care of
himself.
Geoffrey Chandler, 315 B, proved that at two
o'clock this morning he found the prisoner and a
little girl about six years old (which prisoner now
held by the haud), in a doorway in York-street,
Westminster. Prisoner was incapable of taking
care of himself, and said he had no home to go to
and no money, and witnes took him to the station
and the little girl to the workhouse.
In answer to the magistrate, prisoner said he was
a native of Scotland, and had been discharged re-
cently from the Government works at Portsmouth ;
be came to London with his wife and child to loOk
for work at his trade as an engine-fitter, and last
night on the Surrey side of the water he lost his
wife, and then met two friends, who gave hiui
drink. He was trying to protect his child from the
cold when the constable came up. He had not the
slightest idea where his wife was.
Mr. Arnold discharged him on his undertaking to
be of good behaviour.
