WES fAIINSTER.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN TIIE STREET.—Richard
Symonds, 21, was charged with attempting to com-
mit suicide in Oakharn-street, Chelsea, by hanging
himself on a street lamp-post.
Charles Tucker, 288 B, said—At a quarter to
one this morning I was fetched to Oakham-street,
Chelsea, and found the prisoner insensible on the
footway. He had just been cut down by a man.
Witness took him to the station, and on the road
thither he said although he had not hung himself
this time he would finish himself before the
morning.

Joseph Saunders, a labourer, living at 14, Oak-
ham-street, said at about half-past twelve he came
home and spoke to the prisoner, who was drunk,
talking to his brother and sister ; he had words
with the brother and witness advised him to go
home. They parted, and prisoner went as far as
the corner of the street. When witness turned
round to wish him good night he saw that the light
was put out in the lamp-post and prisoner had dis-
appeared, but on going over lie found prisoner
hanging by the neck ; he held him up as well as he
could until a man came and cut him down iu an
insensible state.
Prisoner said lie was drunk.

The sister said she had a few words with her
brother, who was a soldier, on furlough, bnt there
was nothing further to disturb him, and he would
not have done it but for the drink.

Mr. Arnold said he would, perhaps, get drunk
again. Ho remanded him for a week.

THAMES.
THE COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON.—ANTICIPAT-
ING CHRISTMAS DAY.—Matilda Walker, described
as a lady, with a black veil over her face, was
brought before Mr. Benson, charged with being
drunk and incapable of t,king care of herself.

Mr. Benson—You are described as a married
woman, and call yourself a lady, Mrs. Walker. It
is not ladylike to be drunk.
The Prisoner—Really, sir, I can assure you it
was quite an accident. Last night after I had
finished all my domestic arrangements I went home
with an old lady, and as it was Christmas time I
took a glass of the very best Jamaica pine-apple
rum diluted with cold water, nothing more, upon
my honour, sir. The rum just elevated me.
Mr. Benson—And lowered you. You were on
the ground, Mrs. Walker. Don't drink any more
Jamaica pine-apple rum if it has such disastrous
effects. You are discharged, Mrs. Walker.

Mary Stevens was charged with a similar offence,
and said this is Christmas-eve, sir.

Mr. Benson—That is no reason you should get
drunk and degrade yourself. Go about your busi-
ness.

THE OAKS COLLIERY.—After a lapse of more
than 12 months, there is nlw some prospect of tha Oaks
colliery being gradually cleared, and the remains of the
men and boys, to the number of more than 260, brought
to light. During the last few days a number of men have
been able to enter the workings with airproof dresses, and
put up sheeting at certain distances, so as to confine the
air to the places whore operations are being carried on with
safety lamps. The bottom has been cleared, and some 30
or 40 yards of the south level penetrated. On Friday the
men came across the remains of one of the horses, and had
the very unpleasant task of cutting it up, so that it could
be sent to the top to be buried. As the two shafts for
some time past have acted in the ordinary way there is
every indication that no standing fire exists ia the mine, so
that the object so much desired—the recovery of the
bodies, with a view to'their interment—is likely to be now
proceeded with as actively as possible.

THE PALMERSTON STATUE.—The colossal bronze
statue of Lord Pabnerston, by NoblP, intended for the
Market-place at Romsey, has just boon successfully cast,
and will be ready for inauguration about Easter.

BAHIA STEAM NAVIGATION.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
on Friday at the offices, Ethelburga-house, Bishops-
gate ; Mr. C. Lane in the chair.

Mr. WiLsoN, the secretary, read the report, which
stated that the balance to profit for the six mouths
ending the 30th of June last was, at the par of
exchange, £15,326, which (after deducting the ex-
penditure in London) showed an increase of up-
wards of £2,000 over the corresponding six
months of 1866. Of this amount £3,010 had been
expended on capital account, £2,550 was the loss in
exchange, and £921 the expenditure in London,
leaving a balance unappropriated of £8,840. For
the purpose of maintaining efficiently the " San
Francisco" navigation, and of providing a reserve
boat for the Bay routes, a contract had been signed
for the delivery of two suitable vessels in May next.
The CHAN:MAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, congratulated the shareholders on the improv-
ing position of the company. But for the exchange
falling from 27d. the milrea to 204 d. owing to the
war between Brazil and Paraguay, the directors
would have been enabled to declare a dividend on
this occasion. Matters, however, were now looking
better, the rate of exchange was likely soon to re-
sume its former standard, and a dividend might be
fairly looked for at the next meeting. They were
now receiving a subsidy of £B,OOO per annum from
the Brazilian Government, and their traffic was in-
creasing in all directions. The cost of the two
vessels now building for the San Francisco traffic
would be about £12,000. The debentures for
£26,000 had been•all placed at Bahia.

NATIONAL BANK OF SCOTLAND.

The annual meeting was held in Edinburgh on
Saturday, Mr. T. Mansfield in the chair. The
report stated that the net profits for the year
ending the Ist of November, after providing for
depreciation of heritable property and the public
funds, and making ample provision for all bad or
doubtful debts, were £133,609 ; out of this the
usual dividend of 10 per cent. and a bonus of 2 per
per cent. were declared (both free of income-tax),
and £13,609 was added to the "rest," which now
amounts to £249,879. The sum set apart for 12
per cent. dividend was £120,000, the capital being
£1,000,000.

ITISFICTORY L3TTER.

b, Wood-street, Milbank, Westminster,
October 5, 1867
Sin,—Some months back I had an attack of Bronchitis, which
left at times a tickling in the Throat, with other unpleasant feel-
ings. I was advised to try the 8i1LE4.14 OF ANISICHD; I did so,
and have found very great relief; it is most comforting in allay-
ing the irritation, and giving strength to the Voice.
You are at liberty to make nee of this as you think proper,
and I earnestly hope that others may benefit by it as I have
done. With many thanks froth your Obedient servant,

SAMUEL bEAIt,
Dean's Verger, Westminster Abbey.
To Mr. Powell.
Ask for POWELL'S BALSAM of ANISEED

CANDLES.—If you do not want your candles
exclusively for show, but with pleasantness of appearance
require excellence of burning, buy "PRICE'S GOLD MEDAL
PALMITINE," or their " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," or their
good old-fashioned "BELMONT SPERM," or "BELMONT
WAX," or their "BEST," "No. 2," "No. 3," or "BATTERSEA"
COMPOSITE, in preference to the finest and most transparent
Paraffine candles. But if you must have the extreme trans-
parency of pure Pavane, "PRICE'S PARAFFINE" or their
"BELMONTINE" will give it to you in perfection, and at a more
moderate price than is usually charged for any other really first-
class Paraffin Candles.
The new toilet soap "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIED GLYCERINE,"
containing half its weight of their concentrated distilled Glyce-
rine, should be in general use in every house before the winter
comes on, because of its admirable effects in preventing chap-
ping of the hands and face. In every house there ought also to
be one of the sealed bottles of their concentrated Distilled Gly-
cerine, known everywhere as "PRICE'S GLYCERINE," and
prescribed by the most eminent medical men abroad as well as at
home, as the one only Glycerine for medicinal use whether ex-
ternally or internally.
PRICE'S FANCY SOAPS of the different sorts usually made
are excellent, and command a constantly increasing sale. The
"Solidified Glycerine" spoken of above is, however, the one fancy
soap to use.
"PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning
in the wide glasses are believed to be the very best Night Lights
made. "PRICE'S CHILDS' NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning
without glasses, and their different sorts of "CHAMBER CAN-
DLES" are so well known, and so generally used and appre-
ciated, as not to need any special notice here.

BAHIA STEAM NAVIGATION.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
on Friday at the offices, Ethelburga-house, Bishops-
gate ; Mr. C. Lane in the chair.

Mr. WILSON, the secretary, read the report, which
stated that the balance to profit for the six months
ending the 30th of June last was, at the par of
exchange, £15,326, which (after ded'icting the ex-
penditure in London) showed an increase of up-
wards of £2,000 over the corresponding six
months of 1866. Of this amount £3,010 had been
expended on capital account, £2,550 was the loss in
exchange, and £921 the expenditure in London,
leaving a balance unappropriated of £8,840. For
the purpose of maintaining efficiently the " San
Francisco" navigation, and of providing a reFerve
boat for the Bay routes, a contract had been signed
for the delivery of two suitable vessels in May next.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the-adoption of the
report, congratulated the shareholders on the improv-
ing position of the company. But for the exchange
falling from 27d. the milrea to 200. owing to the
war between Brazil and Paraguay, the directors
would have been enabled to declare a dividend ou
this occasion. Matters, however, were now looking
better, the rate of exchange was likely soon to re-
sume its former standard, and a dividend might be
fairly looked for at the next meeting. They were
now receiving a subsidy of £B,OOO per annum from
the Brazilian Government, and their traffic was in-
