MID-KENT.

The report of the directors of this company states that the
gross receipts earned upon the line during the past half-
year amount to £2,831, showing an increase of £766 as com-
pared with the corresponding period of last year. The com-
pany's net proportion of the above will amount to £1,715.
Prow this sum must be deducted the expenses of manage-
ment and the debenture interest, amounting together to
; and leaving, with £165, the amount brought from last
year, a balance of £1,248, out of which the directors recom-
rnend;a dividend of 1 per cent. for the half-year, leaving £52
for next account. The traffic on the line has steadily improved,
and since the opening of the St. Mary Cray Railway to
Bromley and Southborough-road, en the Ist of July, it has
shoWn such a marked increase, that a considerably higher
rate of dividend may be anticipated for the next half-year.
Under the arrangement with the Brighton Company it is
intended to construct a short line from the West-end of Lon-
don and Crystal Palace Company's Extension, near Peoge.
to the Brighton line at Notwood Station, and to form the
western junction of the Mid-Kent line with the West-end
line at I:lckenliam. Direct access will thus be given f orn
all places on the North Kent Railway to Croydon and other
stations on the Brighton Company's system, which will un-
doubtedly bring a large accession of traffic to the Mid-Kt>nt
line. After the close of this year the arrangement for main-
tenance by the South-Eastern Company comes into effect.
The capital account to the 30th of June last showed that
£96,111 bad been received, and £94,264 expended, leaving
a balance of £1,847.

SEEDS:

Linseed continues in slow request, and last week's prices are
barely supported. In rapeseed very little is doing. Red clover has
been in request, at full quotations, chiefly for export. Trefoil is a
slow sale, at late rates. Canary moves off steadily, at full prices.
New mustard and new tares command the extreme rates of last
week. Linseed cakes are firm, and rape cakes have advanced 55.
per ton.

(From the Leeds Intelligencer of Saturday.)

The improvement noticed in our last still holds. A good
many buyers have been moving about, and have made
tolerable purchases, while at the same time country orders
have been received more freely, thus showing a genuine im-
provement in the demand. The Hall markets do Not show
so much activity as the warehouses, but manufacturers have
considerable orders on hand for immediate delivery, and
are well employed in consequence. Generally speaking,
fancy goods meet with a good sale, but hair mixtures as
sealskins, deerskins, and the like, seem to have been quite
overdone, and only find purchasers at a low figure. At
the wool sales prices are gradually creeping up, and for good
marks the competition is keen at the advance, and as stocks
in the staplers' hands are only moderate, and this is the
bulk of the year's supply, present quotations are likely to
be fully sustained to the close.

kept upon a different system, a correct comparison of the
expenditure, it appears, cannot be wade with the corre-
spondhg period.

OSWESTRY AND NEWTOWN.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Wednesday at Welshpool—Sir W. W. Wynn, Bart., M.P.,
prt sided.
The SECRETARY (Mr. Stephens) read the report, which
stated that the expenses in obtaining the Act of Incorpora-
tion had been increased during the half-year by the sum of
2,.,505, of which £.2,433 was attributable to the award on
Mr. Piercy's bill for engineering services rendered before
the passing of the act. The engineering, since the Act of
Incorporation, had during the past half-year been increased
.C 3,700. by the settlement (under arbitration) of Mr. Bar-
low's bill. From the amounts awarded in these cases the
sums due on shares of the respective engineers had been
deducted, and the balance only paid to them in cash.
The arrear on account of deposit and calls on the
30th of June was £13,463. From the state of the com-
pany's finances, the directors Lad not yet been able to
order the extension of the works beyond Pool Quay, except
the two bridges over the Severn. The deposit of £18,750
with the Court of Chancery was not available until recently,
under a bond given to the Treasury by Mr. David Pugb,
M.P., the deputy-chairman.
The report of the engineer (Mr. Joseph Cubitt) shows
that the works of the line between Oswestry and Pool
Quay, a distance of 12 miles, were progressing satisfac-
to; ily, and might be opened by Christmas next.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, which
was seconded by Mr. PUGH.
A lengthened discussion followed, and finally Mr. JOIIN
NAYLOR (banker of Liverpool) expressed his readiness to
join the directors in borrowing money on debentures.
The report was adopted.
A subsequent resolution declared forfeited certain shares.
The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the
chairman.

SUNDERLAND DOCK.
The half-yearly report of the directors states that the total
receipts for the half-year amount to £2:2,073, and the total
disbursements to £15,465, leaving a balance of £6,608. A
dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum on the £l2 10s.
shares ; of £5 per cent. per annum on the £6 55 shares;
and £1 lOs per cent. per annum on the ordinary £25 shares
is roposed to be declared. The directors congratulate the
shareholders on the steadily-increasing traffic of the dock
and of the warehouse department. The coal traffic has also
greatly increased. The directors announce the loss of a law-
suit at the Spring Assizes, which cost them £1,681. In
order to increase the revenues of the company and pay better
dividends to the original shareholders the directors since the
19th ult. have increased the charges to vessels using the
dock, and instead of paying on the register tonnage, they
are now charged on the ton burden. They anticipate that
this will increase the income of the company considerably.

—together nine-tenths of the electors--would rejoice.
Why, then, trifle any longer with a just demand, to
be compelled at last to give way with disgrace ? Mr.
CAMPBELL mentions, " the idea that the body of
tenant farmers would no longer vote with the body of
landowners" as the " idea which really animates re-
sistance to vote by ballot." Of that we arc perfectly
sure, and it is a burning disgrace to the landlords that
they cannot trust their own tenants. We have, how-
ever, one word for the landholders—" If the corn-laws
were repealed despite both landlords and tenants,
the Ballot, which tenants secretly wish for, will cer-
tainly he carried despite the landlords only:' If they
yield now, they may keep their tenants' good will.
If they yield only to compulsion they may also be
kicked out of power by it.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

To-day's market was extensively supplied with each kind of
foreign stock, but its general quality was very inferior. Conse-
quently, prices are low.
We received a fair supply of beasts fresh up this morning from
our own grazing districts; nevertheless, the demand for most breeds
ruled steady, and in most transactions prices were 2d per Sibs
highcr than on this day se'unight. The primest Scots sold without
diffleulty, at Is 8d per Sibs, and the general quality of the stock was
good.

✓ The nrrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamp-
tonshire amounted to 2,600 short horns ; from other parts of Eng-
land, 400 of various breeds; from Scotland, 29 Sots; and from Ire-
land 380 oxen, Src. _ _

There was a fair average time of year supply of sheep on offer;
but its quality was by no means first rate. Pelise downs were in
fair request, at full quotations, but all other breeds moved off
slowly, at barely stationary prices.
The supply of lambs was tolerably good, and the trade ruled
very inactive In the quotations, however, no chance took place.
Although the supply of calves was only moderate, the veal trade
was in a sluggish state, and prices gave way 2d per Sibs.
Pigs, the show of which was good, sold slowly, at last week's
currency. _ . _
London, England, 1858-08-16

BOROUGII HOP.

We continue to have a moderate demand for fine hops of last
year's growth, at about stationary prices; but all other kinds are
very dull, and next to nominal in value. The duty is called
R 235,000., and the plantation accounts arc considered favourable.

WOOL MARKET.

The public sales of colonial wool continue to be fairly attended
by buyers. For good and fine qualities the demand is steady, at
very full prices, but other kinds are a slow inquiry, at barely late
rates. Port Philip—Clean sheep's has realised Is 5d to °2s 51;

VALE OF NEATII.

The report of the directors of this company states that
the disturbance in the commerce of the country, occasioned
by the late monetary crisis, has been and is still se%erely
felt in the district traversed by the company's lines. This
has been aggravated by the strike of the colliers. The
receipts for the half year ending the 30:11 of June amounted
to £42,852. and for tLe corresponding period of last year to
£42,323, ;bowing an increase of £529,0r I'2 per cent. The
laree increase of 28.2 per cent. in the iron ore traffic is a
gratifying feature, although all additions to that or any other
traffic which ha,, been worked tip the lire (over the most un-
f.vc,urmble gradients), wit.i:out corre,p..n,dig imp!ove-neut
in down traffic, is ob ained only by considerably increased
working expenses and unproductive train mileag,:. The coal
traffic was the result t f about five months' working, as prac-
tically the strike did net terminate until the end r,f January,
and in Donne week since that event has the coal traffic regained
the paint previouslyobtained. Fully 90per cent. of he passen-
ger traffic of the lice is de iced from the ~vol king classes. The
large expenditure involved in the maintenance of the perma-
nent way and its renewal Las caused the directors consider-
able anxiety. They prop tae, in the first place, that the outlay I
now requited for the maintenance of the permanent way
should, as far as practicable, be applied to the gradual re-
coneraction of the line; and, in the second place, to appor-
tion any additional and extraordinary expenditure fipon such
renewals as might he found absolutely uecesslry over seve-
ral succetsive half-years, so as not to materially affect toe
dividend of any one hall-year. Tne working expenses stow
an addition of abut £734, .4 which about £t31.5 are due to
the main:eraace of portnanent way. Tile directors rec..un.
mend the payment (la dividend at the rate of £3 15s. per
cent. per annum (less inc,ine-lax) payable on the 3htb inst.
The directors have made arrangements fur providing such
a number cf waggons as will meet the more urgent demands
of the local trade. The capital account showed that
£957,611 had heen recei; ell and £9,16,272 (xpencietl, leaving
a balance of £11,339. The revenue account for Pie half
year ending June 30 showed, that £4:2,852 hal been received 1
and .E 23,0913 expended, leaving a balance of £19,755.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Feb. 17.

(Before Mr. Creasy, at Westminster.)
Edward Elunt, 19, and Matilda Hughes, 30, who
eurrendeie,l, wt.re lailieted, the forwer for ste*iing
16 ib2. of copper naiN, value 15i., tho property of
Charles Tini)ett aid another, his inas:ers, and the
latter for feloniously receiving the same, knowing
them to be stolen.

Hunt pleaded guilty, and Hughes was put upon
her trial.

Mr. Platt appeared for the prosecution ; Mr.
Sleigh for the defence of Hughes.
The evidence against Hugh -s, whose husband
keeps a marine-store-shop in Shad well, was, that
the nails were found in the shop, and that she
acknowledged hiving bought them from Hunt.
Mr. Sleigh made an a' le defence for Hughes,
contending that she bought the nails in the absence
of her husband, that she was entirely ignorant of
the na' ure of the business, and did not know that
she was doing wrong. He called a number of very
respectable witnesses, who deposed to her having
always borne an irreproachable character.
Mr. Creasy summed up, and
The Jury, after a short consultation, found the
prisoner Hughes not guilty.
Mr. Creasy, in sentencing Hunt to three months'
hard labour, said he hoped that punishment would
have the effect of inducing him to refrain from dis-
honesty in future.

James Roberts, 19, and John Dalton, 27, were
convicted of having stolen two cwt. and upwards
of lead, the property of the " Masters, Wardens,
and Assistants, of the Guild, Fraternity, or Bro-
therhood, of the most Glorious and Undivided
Trinity, and of Saint Clement, in the parish of
Deptford Stroud, in the county of Kent." (The
Trinity Corporation.) Dalton surrendered.
Mr. Creasy sentenced Dalton to four months'
hard labour, and Roberts, who was known to the
police as a bad character, to eight months.
George James, 20 years of age, was convicted
upon the prosecution of the Associate Institute
for Improving ana Enforcing the Laws for the
Protection of Females, of an atrocious assault,
with most distressing consequences, upon Elizabeth
Jane Brown, a child only two years old, and sister
cf a young woman he cohabited with, in Christian-
street, Whitechapel. He was sentenced to hard
labour for two years.

THE LATE ROBBERY IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—
Mr. \Vaiuwright, who was robbed in the railway
carriage on Thursday evening last, is still confined to
his bed, but is gradually recovering.
THOMAS ALLSOP.-Mr. T. Allsop, who is said to have
been implicated in the late attempt to assassinate the
Emperor of the French, and for whose apprehension the
English Government have offered a reward of 2001., for-
merly resided at the Red Hall, near this city. Many of
our readers will remember the visit of Mr. Feargus
O'Connor, the Chartist leader, to Lincoln, in 1847,
for the purpose of propounding his small allotment
scheme, and the Red Hall estate, in the parish of Brace-
bridge, was fixed upon as the site for the trial of the
experiment in Lincolnshire.: Mr. Allsop, of Chartist I
principles, bought the estate of the society, and began
to work it on the small allotment plan. The speculation
proved for the main part a failure, and the estate was
brought to the hammer in 1849. Mr. Allsop, who was
a member of the Stock Exobange, and a large speculator
in landed property, did not reside permanently at the
Red Hall, but was in the babit of paying flying visits to
the estate. He was a man of quiet, unostentatious, and
gentlemanly demeanour, and was very touch liked by
those who were brought into intimate contact with
him. Though of somewhat peculiar and eccentiic habits,
urbanity and benevolence were conspicuous traits in his
char toter. All who knew him in this neighbourhood say
tliat he seemed to be the last person in the world to lend
himself to such a diabolical conspiracy as that in which
h is represented to have taken a prominent part.-

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 12th publish copies
of the propositions male in July by the Mexican
Envoy for the settlement of the dispute between
his country and Spain, and of some of the corre-
spondence which took place ; but these documents
are not now of any general interest. The Duke
and Duchess de Montpensier and their family
bad left Madrid Tor Andalusia. The Queen
and King accompanied their Royal Highnesses
to the railway station, and her Majesty pro-
mised to visit them at Seville before long. The
Order of Maria Louisa had been conferred ou
the Princess Clementina d'Orleans, wife of the
Duk• Augustus of Saxe Coburg Gotha ; on the
Princess Charlotte, daughter of the King of the
Belgians ; and on a Princess of Sardinia ; and the
Grand Cross of the Order of Carlos 111. has been
granted to M. Alvarez, private secretary to the
Queen. A royal decree enacts that M. Lopez shall
cease to be Under Secretary of State for thedepart-
ment of the interior, but that he shall resume his
duties as member of the Riyal Council: The pro-
ceedings in the Senate. and the Congress were un.
important. The government had presented to both
chambers the public accounts from 1853 to 1855,
and a bill sanctioning the supplementary credits
obtained in 1857, and those proposed for 1858.

TBE ALHAMBRA PALACE CONCERTS.

The void left by the departure of Jullien will be more
than filled up by the enterprising Mr. E. T. Smith, who
has become the purchaser of the magnificent establish-
ment on the east side of Leicester-square, formerly
known as the Panopticon, and the name of which he
has changed to the mere appropriate one of the Alham-
bra Palace. He has also made an entire change in the
character of the entertainments provided, and last even-
ing gave the first of a series of concerts which promise
to rival anything of the kind that has ever been produced
in London. The programme comprised a selection
from "Der Freischutz," "La Traviata," "Il Barbiere
di Seviglia," "II Trovatore," " Maritana, " and a
miscellaneous collection. The orchestra, which was
numerous and efficient, was under the direction of the
very able conductor, Mr. J. H. Tully, whose abilities
have long been too well known and appreciated to
render it necessary that we should offer even that
mead of praise to which he is so justly entitled.
Amongst the principal artistes we may mention La
Signora Finoli, who, if we mistake not, made her first
appearance on this occasion before a London audience,
and was eminently successful. She sung, with Signor
DragoniS, ROSinCe i
b " Dunque o son" most brilliantly,
and Elicited a rapturous encore, which, at its termina-
tion, was again loudly applauded. In consequence of
the absence of Mr. Bariloman, who was in the pro-
gramme for the next air, Mademoiselle Finoli was im-
mediately called upon to sing her next air, " Una
voce poco fa," in which she acquitted herself in a
manner that at once stamped her as an artiste of the
highest order. She obtained warm and unanimous
applause, and would have been encored a second time
but for the considerate interposition of the more
thoughtful portion of the audience. Madame Rudders.
dorff sang the cavatioa, "Tacea la Note," from the
"Trovatore,"exceedingly well, and was much applauded,
and Signor Dragood was very Effective in the aria, "Il
balm" The other artistes were Mr. Charles Braham,
gl37evlee Mr. G. Perrin, and
Mr.several of their favourite
Madame
tm Borchardt,
an,
who Missm a o
pieces in their usual excellent manner.

The whole arrangement for the evening was extremely
satisfactory, and we base no doubt but the enterprising
proprietor will reap that substantial benefit he so justly
merits. We understand the concert will be repeated
to-morrow evening.
