GRACECIRJRCII-STREET ?
Eighty-six, Oxford-street, and Thirty-six Gracechurch-street, are
Tailoring Establishments, under the direction of lIYAM and Co.,
who are pronounced, by universal consent, to he the best and the
cheapest tailors in the kingdom. 86, Oxford-street, and 36, Grace-
church street, are distinguished for beauty and durability of cloth
and fancy material—two principal points in the manufacture of good
dress.
The West-end and City Establishments of Llyam and Co. are also
conspicuous for elegance of cut, on an improved symmetrical system,
combining ease, exactness, and elegance, with perfect adaptation to
the figure. The employment of French and German cutters, with
the best English designers, will at once account for the recommen-
dations referred to at Hyam and Co.'s Establishments.
86, Oxford-street, and 36, Gracechurch-street, are the cheapest
houses in the trade, supplying, as they do, the best dress for the very
lowest prices. Hyam and Co. were the " masters" (so to speak) of
the new system, a,,LI are still the promoters of its equitable work-
ings, at 86, Oxford-street, West-end, and 36, Gracechurch-street,

This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana-
tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative
conditions in health and disease. Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the
highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-
nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man
who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to
the treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with ad-
vantage by all those whose constitutions may have become debili-
tated through secret practices acquired is youth, or by the excesses
of later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects
of marriage fl'ustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of un-
Ceasing misery and regret.

THE NEW ITALIAN BALLET AT CEEMORNE.—The
season advance,`, and so does Cremorne in all that is emit-
ing, arnuiing, and interesting. The director, having lately
:•ucce•ded so well in stirring up the water by his naval fetes,
has called in to his aid and assistance the three other ele-
ments, and has produced a new ballet, entitled Harlequin
and the Four Elements; or, Earth, Air, Fire, and Water.
Tiic adaptati‘.n is by llzulin, from the Italian school ; the
!Davie by i.tt,acson. It abounds with rich incident, with
broad farce, and magical changes of scene and character,
which entitle it to a position among the first representations
of its kind.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
BRISTOL, AUG. 28.—The supplies of English wheat,
principally new, are good, and prices, both for new and
old, about 6d to 1 s per quarter under last week's rates.

duction. At this day's market English new wheat
fetched from 363 to 403 par imperial quarter; foreign,

ties, 363 to 388; ditto, fine ditto, 34a to 363; ditto, hard,

GLASGOW, Auc. 27.—We had more or less rain since
our last, with a warm breezy atmosphere, however.
Coastwise and from Ireland the arrivals continue un-
important. From abroad, via the Clyde, they consisted
of about 4,738 quarters of wheat, viz., 562 quarters
from the Lower Bsltic, 1,700 quarters from Alexandria,
1,500 from Galatz, and 976 quarters, along with 83
quarters of Indian corn, from New York; 1,237 sacks
of flour from Nantes, and 16,490 barrels of flour—
namely, 13,638 barrels from New York, and 2,752 bar-
rels from Montreal; and via Grangemouth, of 2,883
quarters of wheat, 1,510 quarters of barley, and 260
quarters of rye, from continental ports. There was
rather more dif.position to purchase on the part of dealers
during the pest week, but the sales to consumers were
principally restricted to their immediate wants. This
day's market was moderately well attended, and there
was a fair inquiry for most articles, at last week's
currency.

DERBY SMITHFIELD MARKET, AUG. 26. The supply
of fat beasts to-day was about the average, but the attend-

past markets. The number of sheep and lambs was less than

we had rather a fair supply of wheat. Although the parcels
were very fine, sales were dull. The parcel that brought the
top price was Talavera. We had only two qrs of barley in,
which did not sell. Of the 388 qrs of oats in the market, 118
qrs were new, 83 of which were sold; sales flat, and prices
down. The same may be said of beans. The top of wheat
was Is, and the average 3d up. Oats on the top ed up, and
the average Id down. Beans on the top the same as last week,
and the average is 3d down. Unsold-92 qrs wheat, 21 qrs

RAILWAY INTELLIGFINCE
NORFOLK.

- -
The half-yearly meeting of the Norfolk Railway
Company was held yesterday at the company's offices
in Guildhall-buildings. Mr. Peto, chairman of
the Board of Directors, presided. There was a very
thin attendance of shareholders.
The Secretary having read- the notice convening
the meeting,
Major COURT complained that the report of the
directors had not been printed and circulated in the
usual manner.
The CHAIRMAN observed that the directors could
not prepare their report until after the meeting of the
Eastern Counties Company, and since that meeting
there had not been time to print the document.
The SECRETARY then read the following report :-
-g The usual half-yearly statements of receipts and ex-
penditure, as audited to the 30th of June last, have al-
ready been circulated.
"The accounts published by the Eastern Counties
Company, which have also been circulated among the
shareholders, exhibit a small diminution in the receipts
upon _ the Norfolk Railway during the last six months,
es compared with the corresponding period of last year.
Your directors aro not aware how this result has been
arrived at, but they are happy to state that since the
commencement of the present half-year there has been
a steady increase in the traffic. There are other matters
in these accounts affecting this company, of which your
directors feel that they have just reason to complain;
but as it is evident from the observations of the chair-
-v. at the Easte- Counties meeting that these accounts
their directors, who do not appear
in their preparation, and for the
.statecl immediately, # is thought
• .

subject.
"In conformity with the resolution passed at the
adjourned half-yearly meeting, the directors lost no
time in putting themselves in communication, through
their chairman, with the Eastern Counties board on the
subject of the subsisting agreement between the two
companies. Various communications, both personal and
written, ensued, in which the inexpediency of bringing
the question of tho amalgamation before the Eastern
Counties proprietors at the present time was strongly
urged by the chairman of that company, accompanied
by assurances of the friendly feeling of their board, and
their disposition to do all in their power to develop the
traffic of the district. Your directors, believing that no
practical injury could arise to the interests of the Nor-
folk shareholders by the delay of a few months, resolved
to wait and see the result of the recent changes in the
Eastern Counties direction, and how far the promises
held out to them were likely to be realised. They are
happy in being alele to state that a greatly improved and
more cordial feeling has since animated the counsels of
the Eastern Counties Company towards the Norfolk
Company, and they are hound to say that much has
been done by them during the last few months by in-
creaeed local accommodaden towards bringing the re-
sources of the Norfolk line into action, and, although
much remains to be done, the effect upon the traffic has
been most beneficial.
Under these circumstances, your directors have
considered it their duty to consult several of the largest
shareholders as to the expediency of taking further steps
at the present time under the resolution of the last
meeting, and their opinion has been strongly expressed
in favour of aequiesing in the wish of the Eastern Coun-
board that the existing agreement should remain undis-
turbed for the present. Your directors concur in their
view, under the conviction that time and fair play alone
are wanting to develop the resources of the line, and that
every day's experience will tend to bring its value more
prominently forward, and to dissipate the erroneous im-
pressions that have prevailed respecting it.
"If the meeting should approve of the course thus
suggested it will be understood that the directors are to
be at liberty to act upon the resolution of the 27th of
March last at any time when the interests of the com-
pany may appear to them to require it. They hope,
however, that the necessity for doing so will not arise :
and, so long as the Eastern Counties Company pursue
their present course of friendly and enlightened policy
towards this company, they may depend upon receiving
the cordial co-operation and assistance of the Norfolk
board.
" The subject of the mortgage debt of this company
has engaged the serious attention of your directors, the
unsettled state of the company rendering; it impossible
to renew the securities falling due, and they have thus
been placed in a most painful state of ernherraasmant by
being suddenly called upon to pay up a large portion of
the capital which could not be calculated upon, and
which they have no means of meeting without obtaining
further powers from Pe.rliament. It is proposed, there-
fore at the present meeting, to take a resolution from the
proprietors, authorising an application for an Act in
the next session for creating a new -stock, bearing a
'guaranteed interest not exceeding 5 per cent. per annum,
to be placed in the same position of priority as the ex-
isting mortgage debt, and to be applied solely for the
liquidation of such debt. When it is considered that the
sum required to pay the interest on this debt does not
amount to one-fifth of the present gross receipts of the
company, the sufficiency of the security which the com-
pany have to of will be apparent, and your directors
do not doubt that, armed with this power, they will have
no difficulty in meeting all the demands that may be
made upon them. It is intended by the same Bill to
regulate the capital of the company generally, particu-
larly with reference to the rights of the various classes
of preference shares.
" The Act for authorising the Beccles and llalesworth
Railway by an independent company has reeeived the
Royal assent.
" The directors wish to have powers from this meeting
to make such traffic arrangements with this company as
will ensure a speedy completion of a line which is
likely to add materially to the revenue of the Norfolk
Company."
Mr. PETO said that in addressing them for the first
time as their chairman, he thought it due to them and
himself that he should state the circumstances under
which he had taken that position. Immediately after
their last meeting he receivod an urgent request from
his friend Major Tindall, who was then their chair-
man, which was cordially seconded by every member
of the board, that in the present position of the com-
pany he should become their chairman. 113 felt that
as a resident in the district through which this rail-
way passed, and as possessing some practical know-
ledge of the working of their line, and of railways
generally, if he could be of service to the company he
would also be doing good service to the public by en-
deavotiring to retrieve their property from the position
in which it was then placed. In the first instance, at
the request of his colleagues, he wrote a letter to the
chairman of the Eastern Counties Company, re-
quiring from him an explanation of the policy of
that company, with a view to their conducting their
operations in cordial concurrence with that company,
or that they might at once be placed in the position of
acting independently. A series of correspondence and
personal interviews followed, and he thought it due to
Mr. Waddington, the chairman of the Eastern Counties
Railway, to state that that gentleman met him in the
most frank and business-like manner. Mr. Wadding-
ton expressed an anxious desire that an opportunity
should be allowed for ascertaining more clearly the
position of the district by the proprietors of both
companies. The directors of the Norfolk Railway
considered that proposition, and having taken into
their counsel several of their largest proprietors, they
determined that the wisest course was to accede to
the proposal of Mr. Waddington. He would point
out to them what had been the result of this better
state of things. He had a return from the directors
of the Eastern Counties Railway, showing that during
the first six months of the present year there was a
small increase as compared with their receipts for the
corresponding six months of last year of about 1,300/.
Up to August 18 a gross increased receipt was shown
of more than 5 per cent. upon the receipts of last year.
He had also a return of the gross receipts at the prin-
cipal stations of the company for six months of the
last and of the present year. He found the total re-
ceipts at the Norwich station for six months of last
year were 26,2001., and for the present year 29,0001.;
showing an increase of about 2,8001. He found at
Yarmouth the receipts for last year were 7,9681. ;
and for this year 9,679/.; while at Lowestoft the
receipts last year were 3,617/. ; and this year they
were 5,4151. The last amount, he might observe, did
not include the receipts for the cattle and goods which
were brought over by the Northern Steam-packet
Company. He thought these results were so far sa-
tisfactory. He stated to them at their last meeting
his confidence in their position. They had an income
of about 120,000/., and the simple question was, at
what rate could their traffic be worked ? They had
a large traffic to give to other concerns, for during
the last year he found they had passed over the bar-
rier at Brandon to the Eastern Counties Company
gross receipts exceeding 101,5001.—(Hear, hear.)
lie need not say that the cost of working railways
was now a matter pretty well defined. He stated,
when he last addressed them, that he considered the
expense of working the Eastern Counties line was
unjustifiably great, and that opinion had been ac-
quiesced in by Mr. Waddington, present chair-
man of :the Eastern Counties Company. Indeed, the
reduction which had been made during the past half-
year by the Eastern Counties Company clearly
showed the accuracy of his statement. Mr.
Gooch, the locomotive superintendent of the Eastern
Counties line—than whom he did not know a more
practical, talented, or energetic man in the po-
sition he occupied—had stated he saw no reason
why, within two years, the working expenses of the
Eastern Counties line should not be reduced to the
same amount as that of other companies. The whole
of the Eastern Counties rolling stock was now in a
high state of efficiency compared with what it was

when Mr. Gooch succeeded to his present situation
He (the chairman) considered that the Norfolk Com-
pany had great reason to complain of the printed
statements of accounts published by the Eastern
Counties Company. He was most desirous to main-
tain the good feeling
which existed between the two
companies, but he regretted that the Eastern Coun-
ties directors had not communicated with himself or
his colleagues before they published their statement,
that mutual explanations might have been given.
Mr. Waddington, the chairman of the Eastern Coun-
ties Company, acknowledged in his speech the other
day that the Norfolk Company's trains were charged
at the same rate of mirage as the Eastern Counties.
Now, surely, as in their district coke could be ob-
tained at a very low. price, and their trains carried
much less dead weight than those running near Lon-
don,. they might be and ought to be worked at much
less cost. He had, with the consent of Mr. Wad-
dington, placed four locomotive engines on the Nor-
folle7line at his own expense, in order to demonstrate
the fact that a light traffic could be carried on
at a small cost as compared with heavy traffic. These
engines were carrying on the traffic at an expendi-
ture of less than 101 h. of coke per mile, while the
Norfolk Company were charged at the average of
the through traffic with '26lb. or 271 b. per mile.—
(Hear.) He also considered that the Norfolk Coms
pany was charged excessively high for maintenance of
way. It must be remembered that they had a large
extent of single line, they had gravel in every cut-
flog, and ran through a singularly favourable coun-
try, and he thought they ought not to be charged an
equal amount with a road running through the fens,
and-injured by the heavy traffic rigar:r London. Hii
-own conviction was that their line could, by itself,
be worked at a profit. He believed there was no
occasion for discouragement or hopelessness, but he
recommended them to maintain a due appreciation of
the value of their own property, and not to be induced
to give it way by instalments, which he must say,
with all possible respect for those who put them forth,
were not based upon truth. There were some ques-
tions of account open between the Eastern Counties
and the Norfolk Company involving a consider•
abhe amount. Those questions had been re-
ferred to Mr. Quilter on behalf of the Eastern
Counties Company and to himself (the chair-
man) on behalf of the Norfolk Company. They
were proceeding harmoniously in their investi-
gation, and he hoped that in two or three weeks
every item would be closed. He considered,
with reference to their arrangements with the
Eastern Counties Company, that they ought not to
be charged with interest upon stations and plant
which had passed out of their hands, and which they
were not using. The total amount received by the
Norfolk Company for the sale of surplus land seemed
to have been 9,5221. 17s. 6d., and out of that sum
they had paid off a mortgage-bond of 4,0001', and had
made various payments for debts carrying interest to
the amount of 9,4691. 53. 3d. The directors had re-
duced the mortgage debt by 17,0001. He had
already stated that their income might be taken at
120,0001. per annum, and with reference to their
prospects for the future, he might point to the cer-
tainty of a large increase to their traffic from the ex-
ertions being made on the eastern coast with regard
to the fishing trade. At Yarmouth, within two years,
thirty-six boats, for the deep seafishing had been
placed on the station, and the produce was brought
up to London. At Lowestoft nine fishing boats were
regularly employed, and their catch was sent to town
daily. The experiment had been tried of sending off
a steamer from Lowestoft to the fishing-ground every
day to bring the cargoes for conveyance to London
by railway instead of sending them round by cutters.
For the first four or five weeks the steamboat did not
pay her expenses, but she was now earning upwards
of 301. a week—the cost of maintaining the boat
being 151. a week—and the traffic brought to the
line exceeded 3,0001. a year. A company had been
formed, without any responsibility attaching to the
Norfolk Railway proprietors, for establishing a cora-
municatiou between Lowestoft and the European
States north of the Texel, and the result had been
that traffic exceeding 6,000/. had during the last
year been brought to the two lines of railway. He
was satisfied, also, that when the railways projected
in Norway were completed they would obtain a large
additional amount of traffic. There was a branch
line of railway contemplated which would necessarily
add to the business of the Norfolk Company. An
extension line was to be carried to Halesworth, the
capital being provided by the resident gentry and
6 landed proprietors, and the directors 'had to asl('the
proprietors to enable them to enter into a teaffic ar-
rangement with the proprietors of that line. He con-
sidered that the preference stock, as to the validity of
which some doubts had been entertained, should
be placed upon an unquestionable basis, and a re-
solution with that object should be submitted to
the meeting. He begged to move that the report be
adopted.
Major COURT did not think they were in a position
to receive and adopt the report, because that report
had not been delivered to the shareholders previously
to the meeting, as was, he believed, required by Act of
Parliament. He considered that if a branch railway
was to be established, as had been intimated by the
chairman, the project ought to be submitted to the
shareholders, who should determine upon its expe-
diency. He protested against the accounts being
received, unless they were thoroughly investigated by
the auditors.
Mr. HARVEY congratulated the proprietors on the
accession of Mr. Peto to the office of chairman of
their board, for he believed that gentleman, from his
character, talent, and honour, would do much towards
bringing the Norfolk Railway Company out of the
slough of despond in which it had long been.—(Hear,
hear.) He believed there were elements of prosperity
in the company, and that if the management of their
affairs was entirely in their own hands they might
have a dividend of two or three per cent.
The CHAIRMAN said, on consulting the solicitor to
the company, he was informed that there was nothing
in the Act of Parliament which rendered it obligatory
on the board of directors to publish their report before
they met the proprietors. With regard to the branch
line to which he had referred, it would not be attended
with the expense of one farthing to the Norfolk Com-
pany, for the people of Suffolk had raised 150,0001.
for its establishment.
The motion for the adoption of the report was then
agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN moved the following resolution :
" Teat the directors be authorised to apply to Parlia-
ment in the next session for an Act to authorise the
creation of a new preferential stock, bearing a guaran-
teed interest not exceeding 5 per cent. per annum, pos-
sessing the same priority as the existing mortgage debt,
and to be applied solely in liquidation of such debt, and
for the general regulation of the capital of the company,
and to sanction traffic arrangements with the Hales-
worth, Buccles, and Haddiscoe Railway Company."
The CHAIRMAN stated, in reply to a question, that
the Act of Parliament which they sought to obtain
would extinguish all borrowing powers, and substi-
tute the creation of a perpetual preference stock.
The motion was then agreed to, and, a vote of
thanks having been given to the Chairman, the meeting
separated.

CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD
THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAIL-
WAY COMPANY.
BRIGHTON, AUG. 28.—At the bench of magistrates
to-day (present C. Carpenter and Montague Scott, ,
Esqs.), William Gregory and George Stallard, were
charged with conspiring together to defraud the Lon-
don and Brighton Railway Company, under singular
circumstances. Mr. George Faithfull, jun., the com-
pany's solicitor, attended to prosecute the case,
assisted ~by Mr. W. Acton, superintendent of the
company's police. Mr. Lamb attended for Stallard.
Gregory was not forthcoming; and it was stated that
before service of the summons at bis residence he had
left the country, and was now in Paris.
Mr. Faithfull, in opening the case, said this was a
charge of conspiracy against the defendants to defraud
the railway company of their legal and proper fare.
The company issued excursion tickets from London
to Brighton, taking persons down and up for 3s. 6d.
The ordinary fare from London to Brighton alone by
Parliamentary train was 4s. 2d., and by the ordinary
third-class carriage ss.'l4d. This was an important
consideration in connexion with this case. BY
taking a third-class excursion ticket in Lon-
don a person on arriving at Brighton might
take the advantage, if the weather should be wet,
of exchanging his ticket for an
excess second
class ticket on the payment of 1' That fact
was as well known to parties in London about the
station as it was in Brighton. Among the parties
who waited about the Brighton station was the de-
fendant Stallard, who was in the habit of buying
tickets from excursionists who did not intend to re-
turn, or get them to give him tickets which he would
sell to persons going from Brighton to London at a
very small profit, and the consequence was that par-
ties often went to London without paying the com-
pany a single halfpenny for travelling. In order to
establish the present charge the company had taken
means to catch both buyer and teller. Gregory pur-
chased of Stallard a third-class excursion ticket, and
exchangc,d it for an excess second-class ticket by the
payment of 13., and had gone to London in a second-
class carriage for ls., the ordinary charge of the com-
pany for such journey being Bs. This war, to all
