be dec'ared of 21. 9s. per 501. share, and of 243. 6cl.
per 251. share, less income-tax. This would leave a
balance of 1791 in favour of the company. The ba-
lance of the Bridling:oz.: branch account was 74/.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving a resolution for the
payment of the dividend in accordance with the
report, stated that this company was now on very
satisfactory terms with the York and North Midland
Company. The latter had been very punctual in
their payments of the half-year's rents, and evinced a
disposition to continue to co-operate with this com-
pany in a friendly manner, which would, in his opi-
nion, have the effect of promoting theinterests of
both companies.
The motion was then seconded and carried, and,
after a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting
separated.

WEST CORNWALL.
It has been found impracticable to open the ex-
tension of this line from Hayle to Penzance by the
first week in November, as was expected, but the
portion of it to Redruth will, it is thought, he com-
pleted and opened by that time. It is understood
that the differences that remained unsettled in con-
nexion with the litigation between the directors and
Mr. Mowatt have, within the last few days, been
finally adjusted.

few persons have thougl.t it ad►isable to express, 171 ith
the laudable desire, no doubt, of warning farmers to
pay more attention to green crops as a substitute, but
torgettul of how much easier it is to raise an alarm or
panic than to allay either."
TRANSATLANTIC PACKET STATION.
Sir James Emerson Tennent bas addressed a long
letter to one of the gentlemen who has taken an active
part in promoting a meeting to be held in Dublin on
Thursday at the Mansion-house, for the purpose of
taking measures to establish steam. communication
between the ports of Galway and New York. In this
letter Sir Emerson enters at length into the whole
subject of Transatlantic navigation, roundly con-
demns the report of the Commissioners, and avows
his decided preference for the bay of Galway as
a packet station over any other port either
in England or Ireland. He has just paid a
flying visit to the capital of the west, and while
there he was informed by a gentleman on Thursday
last, that Messrs. Cunard and Co., who have been hi-
therto adverse to the change, have intimated their
readiness to commence at once running their steamers
alternately to Galway and Liverpool. He warns
the managers against acceding to this proposition in-
asmuch as

" Cunard's are notoriously a slow and inferior class
of ships, as compared with the capabilities of the ocean
steam-ships of more recent construction; and he has
heard within the last few days that the steam-ship
builders and engineers of the very first eminence in Eng-
land hare offered to supply vessels to perform the pas-
sage between Galway and Halifax at the rate of over 16
miles an hour, and have undertaken to forfeit one-half
the purchase money if they occupy raore than five days
and a half in the voyage. This practical tender, there-
fore, disposes at once of the fallacious estimate of the
commi,sienera and raises the saving in point of time be-
tween Halifax and London, which they bad calculated
only at nine hours and twenty minutes, to some-
thing about eighty-nine hours, or upwards of three days
and a half."

THE LATEST ODDS AND ENDS FROM YORK.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

SlR,—Above a hundred horses, including all the
cracks but two, had arrived in the vicinity of the
lintivesmire`at half-past nine o'clock this morning. The
course still continues in excellent condition. The
Dundee Stakes will be contested by Radulphus, Post
Tempore, The Sweep, Oxford Blue, Tordesillas (d),
Sister to Fencer, Follow-me-lads, Mrs. Birch, and
Crookshanks. Cnooasieasias, Mrs. Birch, and Sister
to Fencer first, second, and third. The field for the
Ebor St. Leger will consist of Newminster (Butler),
first, The Confessor (Marson) second, Cemus(Nat) third,
and Tho Calculator last. MERRY-GO-ROUND will win
his match with the Physalis fitly, and but little doubt is
entertainedithat the PRINCE CARADOC COLT will defeat
Young Hawthorn. For the Yorkshire Oaks, Fifty-
Three, Garland filly, Iris (d), Lady of the Grove, Miss
Flyaway, The Nun, Prestige, Tightwaist, Uuity, Ver-
muth, Confidence (d), and Vivandiere are the runners.
VIVANDIERE the winner, with Vermuth, Tightwaist, and
Unity in close attendance. The following start for the
Prince of Wales's Stakes, viz.:—Bethgelert, Bilberry,
Bird-on-the-wing, Evadne, Sorella's dam filly, Merry
Monarch filly, Senorita, Travestie, and, perhaps,
Daniel O'Rourke. The last named, with a start, must win.
After him the busy B's have it all to themselves, the
BIRD.ON-THE WING the best; a Bin the next place,
with Evadne in attendance. The field for the Ebor
Handicap will be somewhat larger than was anticipated
yesterday; it will be composed of the following:—
Maid of Masham, Clothworker, The Italian, Snowstorm,
Lady Hylda, Champion, Nancy. Haricot, Hungerford,
Candlewick, and Cane. THE ITALIAN or HARICOT to
win; with Lady Bylda for a cockbuat, which may be
wrecked by the high C's—Champion, Cane, or Candle-
wick; at any rate, I must take the field in preference to
" the crack," although Nancy is backed pretty nearly
at evens agaiast her ten competitors for the Ebor laurels.
For the Chesterfield Heathen), Maid of Diasham (d),
Oxford Blue,Vanguard, Melody, Prince Caradoc colt, and
Sweetheart (d) start. THE COLT, Vanguard, and Me-
lody, first, st cond, and third. HIRSOTA wins the Filly
Sapling Stakes. The 100 soya. Plate will be contested
by Bess of Hardwick. Cleveland, Dalton, Flora Macdo-
nald, High Sheriff, Melbourne colt, Merlin, Rose, The
Shadow, Cheshire Witch filly, Tragedian, Travestie,
and Fleur de Lis filly. One or two others may run. I
shall not attempt to select the winner from such a very
" dark" lot, but merely observe that High Sheriff is a
nice looking animal. The field for the County Plate
will, probably, consist of Maid of Masham, The Prime
Minister, Bethgslert, and Evadne. The Minister ought
to win. GLENLUCE will have no opponents for the Juve-
nile Stakes, unless the Physalis filly should prove to be
one. AzETH is to be opposed by the Miss Whip colt for the
Old Three Yrs Old Produce Stakes. The betting in
town this morning up to one o'clock has been charac-
terised for its briskness; the latest prices rule as follow:
Yorkshire Oaks—Even on Vivandiere, 6 to 1 agst any
