STOCKBRIDGE.

Vauban is gallopinga mile andstqUarter each morning,
led by Lord Ronald, and followed by Caucas"s, Uncas,
Fairfield, Ilarpettden, and ho goes uncommonly well. Co-
pengahen galloped a mile and a half on Saturday very
fast; but since then has done only a mile and a quarter.
He moves excoediegly free. Pantaloon is forward in con-
dition, and is leading Roll Call, Lady Barbara, and Traviata
some very nice gallops. The three latter are exceedingly
nicit two year olds, but not ripe enough yet. Gomera is school-
ing Ischia, Ines, Seville, Rose Chere, Lady Ilesfer, and Red
Riband ; and, judging from the present form she exhibits,
Seville will be a thorn iu the side of Achievement this
spring. Black Prince (by Voltigenr) is only in mile work.
The Duke is very backward, but be has got into longer
work now, as also have Lecturer and John Davis ; the
three of them going well, and being full of promise for
Chester. Redcap is doing very little. Dannebrog and
Quirina are pretty forward, but moderate in quality.

RICHMOND.
. Plaudit's legs are as clean as a smelt now, and both he
and Newland, led by Blairgowrie, are doing first class.
The latter will make a great noise for the Chester Cup.
and is deserving of support for it, as he is a very premising
youngster. Plaudit is now galloping a mile and a quarter
fast, and moves quite in his old form. We never remem-
ber seeing Moldavia more fit and good-tempered.

NORTH EASTERN.

The report of the directors states that the gross
traffic receipts for the half-year ending the 31st of
December last amounted to £1,964,442, and for the
corresponding half of 1865 to £1,915,980, showing
an increase of £48,462. The working expenses
amounted to £961,048, against £906,433 for the
same half of 1885, showing an increase of £54,615.
The net receipts amounted to £1,003,335, against
£1,009,547 for the corresponding half of 1865,
showing a decrease of £6,152. The increase in the
working expenses had resulted from the high price
of materials and labour used in working the railway,
the maintenance of 28 miles of new branches, and
several wooden bridges, which had been rebuilt in a
more durable and expensive manner. The cost of
coal and coke had been greater than in any pre-
vious period ; the increase over the corresponding
half-year had been £16,463, of which £15,554 was
attributable to an advance in the price of those arti-
cles. The payments for parochial assessment showed
an increase of £6,225 over the amount paid in the
corresponding period of last year. The amount
chargeable to revenue account for interest and pre-
ferential dividends had been also augmented, partly
by the unfavourable state of the money market,
but mainly by the new stock issued to provide
for the outlay on capital account. After pro-
viding for the interest on all borrowed
capital, and the dividends on all classes of pre-
ferential stocks and shares, the following balances
remained to the credit of the revenue accounts of
the several sections, viz. :—On the Berwick account,
£213,269 ; on the York account, £93,607 ; on the
Leeds account £24,666 ;- on the Carlisle account,
£42,913 ; on the Darlington account, £83,963 ;
and on the Thirsk and Malton account, £603. Out
of these balances the directors recommended the
payment of dividends at the rate of £6 per cent. per
annum on the Berwick ordinary stock, leaving
£2,934 ; at the rate of £5 10s. per annum on the
York stock, leaving £l,BBl ; of £3 103. per cent.
per annum on the Leeds stock, leaving £263 ; of
£7 15s. per cent. per annum on the Carlisle stock,
leaving £1,344 ; of £8 10s. per cent. per annum on
the Darlington stock, leaving £914 ; and at the rate
of £2 per cent. per annum on the Thirsk and Mal-
ton stock, leaving £lO3. The directors had not
found it necessary to introduce any bill into Parlia-
ment in the present session. They had closed the
account of the permanent way renewal fund, and
would in future charge the amount expended in re-
newal of way to the revenue of each year as it oc-
curred. Thecapital accountshowed that 138,532,125
had been expended.

SOUTH DEVON.

The directors of this company state in their report
that the gross revenue for the half-year ended the
31st December last had been £122,395, as compared
with £123,651 for the corresponding half of 1865,
when the company's receipts were exceptionally in-
creased by the Royal Agricultural Society's meeting
at Plymouth. From this cause, and also in conse-
quence of unfavourable weather and the depressed
condition of trade, the revenue of the past half-year
showed a small comparative decrease. The gross
revenue of the whole year was £231,567, as com-
pared with £225,172 in 1865. The directors were
happy to show a reduction of working expenses from
50.75 per cent. to 42.54 per cent. of the gross re-
ceipts. The revenue account showed a disposable
balance of £13,856, and after providing for pre-
ference and other charges the payment of a dividend
was recommended at the rate of £3 10s. per cent.
per annum on the ordinary stock, leaving a balance
of £837. The united working locomotive purposes
of the South Devon, the Cornwall, and West Corn-
wall Railways with their own stock had produced
satisfactory results, and a large saving had been
effected in that department. The opening of the
Moretonhampstead Railway had added 12k miles to
the length of railway worked, but the total train
mileage, which was £341,073 miles during the six
months ended December, 1865, was reduced to
331,127 miles in the past half-year. The return
made by this company under the Railway Companies
Securities Act, 1866, showed that the total debenture
debt to the 31st of December last was £667,590,
and that the total exercisable borrowing powers
amounted to £668,966. The interest payable on the
former sum was £30,246 per annum, and the net
income of the company on which that interest was
a first charge was, for the year 1866, £119,676. Of
the total debenture debt, £176,020 fell due last year,
and the interest then agreed to be paid (41 and 5 per
cent.) placed the average rate of interest at 4.54
per cent, per annum on the whole debt. The com-
pany required to issue £200,000 of the perpetual
5 per cent. preference shares, in order to adjust
capital to liabilities, the greater portion of this sum
being required to pay for engines and carriage and
waggon stock. After payment of all the company's
fixed charges, the holders of the £200,000 would at
present have a clear margin of more than £50,000
a year to meet their interest. The capital account
showed that £2,844,601 has been expended, in-
cluding £134,429 during the past half-year.

STAINES, WOKINGHAM, AND WOKING.
The directors of this company have recommended
the payment of a dividend of 3s. 3d. per share, or
£1 12s. 6d. per cent. per annum, for the half-year
ending the 31st of December last.

TTORTIT I,OIITON.

The directors state in their report that the traffic
receipts c,f the company's line for the half-year end-
ing the 31st of December last amounted to £91,412
for passengers, to £51,108 for goods and minerals,
and to £2,289 for live stock—total, £144,809,
against £109,785 in the corresponding half of 1865,
showing an increase of £35,024, of which £30,835
was for passengers, £4,016 for merchandise and
minerals, and £173 for live stock. The passenger
traffic included the receipts for six months on the
City Extension line, as against two months only in
the same half of 1865. The working expenses
showed considerable increase, but the general re-
sult, after payment of debenture interest, was
an available balance of £59,032. The holders
of the preference stock were entitled on the pre-
sent occasion to share ratothly the net receipts

over and above the sum required to pay a divi-
dend at the rate of 51- per cent. on the ordinary
share capital. The directors, therefore, recom-
mended the declaration on the preference stock
of 2i per cent. (making for the 12 months 41 per
cent.), and on the ordinary stock and share capital
21 per cent. (making for the year 51 per cent), leav-
ing a balance of £557. The directors deemed it
desirable to make provision for two additional lines
of rails between Camden and Kingsland, instead of
one line as originally contemplated. The capital
account showed that £2,890,808 had been expended.
The revenue acccount for the half-year showed that
£154,711 had been received, and £89,103 expended,
leaving £65,608.

The Vo'unteers and the Belgians.

Early as it is in the year. the Executive Committee
of the Volunteers who visited Brussels last year is
already making preparations to receive the Belgian
visitors, who will number, it is said, some 2,000.
They will be under very distinguished command, it
is believed, the Belgians desiring that his Royal
highness the Comte de Flaudres should lead them
across the sttait. A meeting of the Volunteer Com-
mittee was held a few days since, under the presi-
denby of Viscount Bury. It was then determined
to organise a Middlesex committee, to act with
committees of other counties, and a long programme
of the entertainments proposed was drawn out. As
this is to be a national reception, in return for the
reception given by the Belgian nation to Volunteers
from every part of the country, it was resolved to
appeal to the country at large in aid of the large
fund required in the metropolis, where the Belgians
will remain principally during their brief sojourn in
this country. There will be special prizes given to
them to shoot for at Wimbledon ; but what they
desire, as stated in their organs of sport, is to com-
pete with the English. There is a difficulty in this,
as the "All-corners' prizes" at Wimbledon are not
shot for as "All-comers" prizes are abroad—namely,
with military sighted rifles, and there is no mean, in
the 'Wimbledon competition, between the Enfield
and the expensive rifles, with costly sights and
costly ammunition, which characterise the small-
bore competitions open to " All" who, under
this system, have been very few " comers."
The restriction of these competitions to mili-
tary sighted weapons would encourage all classes to
enter, and would open a way for all nations to mea-
sure their skill with weapons which could be used in
the field. This point is worth noticing, as the Bel-
gians will visit Wimbledon with the view of shoot-
ing against the English as the English shot against
them in the Tir National—on equal terms as far as
sights were concerned. The fetes to-the visitors are
expected to include a banquet at the Crystal Palace,
a banquet in the city, organised visits to the theatres
and other places of amusement in London, and a
grand ball at the Agricultural-hall. Some counties
talk of organising special fetes, but except in those
places -which lie upon the route between the coast
and London, there will be no time or opportunity
for the Belgians to be thus entertained. Experience
has shown that the greater body of them, the same
as the Volunteers themselves, cannot make a pro-
longed holiday, such as a visit to places a long dis-

The report of the directors states that the gross
traffic receipts for the half-year ending the 31st of
December last amounted to £1,964,442, and for the
corresponding half of 1865 to £1,915,980, showing
an increase of £48,462. The working expenses
amounted to £961,048, against £906,433 for the
same half of 1885, showing an increase of £54,615.
The net receipts amounted to £1,003,335, against
£1,009,547 for the corresponding half of 1865,
showing a decrease of £6,152. The increase in the
working expenses had resulted from the high price
of materials and labour used in working the railway,
the maintenance of 28 miles of new branches, and
several wooden bridges, which had been rebuilt in a
more durable and expensive manner. The cost of
coal and coke had been greater than in any pre-
vious period ; the increase over the corresponding
half-year had been £16,463, of which £15,554 was
attributable to an advance in the price of those arti-
cles. The payments for parochial assessment showed
an increase of £6,225 over the amount paid in the
corresponding period of last year. The amount
chargeable to revenue account for interest and pre-
ferential dividends had been also augmented, partly
by the unfavourable state of the money market,
but mainly by the new stock issued to provide
for the outlay on capital account. After pro-
viding for the interest on all borrowed
capital, and the dividends on all classes of pre-
ferential stocks and shares, the following balances
remained to the credit of the revenue accounts of
the several sections, viz. :—On the Berwick account,
£243,269 ; on the York account, £93,607 ; ou the
Leeds account £24,666 ; on the Carlisle account,
£42,913 ; on the Darlington account, £83,963 ;
and on the Thirsk and Malton account, £603. Out
of these balances the directors recommended the
payment of dividends at the rate of £6 per cent. per
annum on• the Berwick ordinary stock, leaving
£2,93-1 ; at the rate of £5 10s. per annum on the
York stock, leaving £l,BBl ; of £3 10s. per cent..
per annum on the Leeds stock, leaving £263 ; of
£7 15s. per cent, per annum on the Carlisle stock,
leaving £1,344 ; of £8 10s. per cent. per annum on
the Darlington stock, leaving £914 ; and at the rate
of £2 per cent. per annum on the Thirsk and Mal-
ton stock, leaving £lO3. The directors had not
found it necessary to introduce any bill into Parlia-
ment in the present session. They had closed the
account of the permanent way renewal fund, and
would in future charge the amount expended in re-
newal of way to the revenue of each year as it oc-
curred. The capital account showed that £38,532,1,?5
had been expended.

TAFF VALE.

ordinary stock of the company for the past half-
year, ending 3st December last.

NORTH BRITISH.

A meeting of preference shareholders in this com-
pany was held on Thursday at Glasgow—Mr. Stir-
ling in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN explained that the new board of
directors elected last autumn had the financial posi-
tion of the company under their consideration, and,
acting on the best advice they could obtain, had de-
posited a bill authorising the creation of £1,875,000
of preference stock, cuming after the debenture debt,
but before all existing preferences. This, they
thought, was the only means that would enable them
to meet their pressing liabilities and to put the line in
fair working order. lie fully sympathised with the
Edinburgh and Glasgow and the Monkland.s share-
holders, whose stocks stood at the bottom of the
list of preferences. Ile quite admitted that their
case was a very hard one. lie was certain that the
best thing that shareholders could do was to adopt
the directors' proposal. Without taking a very
sanguine view of affairs, he thought if they once
had the requisite funds to meet their present liabi-
lities, before very long they should be able to pay
all their preference shareholders. If, on the other
hand, they failed in getting the money, he did not
see his way to the Edinburgh and Glasgow share-
holders getting a dividend for many years to come.

Mr. JAMES WHITE then moved a formal resolu-
tion to the effect that, having considered the North
British Carlisle Deviation Bill, the meeting con-
sented to the creation and issuing of pre-preference
stock to the extent of £1,875,625, entitled to a fixed
dividend not exceeding 54 per cent. per annum.
Mr. P. CLONSTON seconded the motion, which
was carried all but unanimously. It was also re-
' solved that a committee be appointed to co-operate
with the directors in promoting the bill.

Reform Demonstration at Sunderland.

SUNDERLAND, Monday Night.
The working men of Sunderland and the districts
surrounding this town have held a Reform Demon-
stration to-day. Between 2 and 3 o'clock in the
afternoon the members of numerous trade and
benefit societies assembled near the railway station
at Monkwearmonth, and formed in order of proces-
sion. Starting from the point of assembly, the
procession, which consisted of at least 12,000,
took its way through the principal streets of Sun-
derland to the Town Moor. Immense crowds of
people lined the whole route. The afternoon was
given up wholly to the demonstration ; all shops
were closed, and all business suspended.

Lifeboat Services.

NEW BRIGHTON (Cheshire) Tuesday Night.
During strong weather yesterday (reports the
Rev. R. D, Fowell) the steam-tug Rover brought
intelligence that a barque was on shore on Jordon
Flats, and that the lives of the crew were in great
danger. The Willie and Arthur lifeboat of the
National Lifeboat Institution was immediately
manned, and taken down to the scene of the wreck.
On arriving there a very heavy sea was found to be
breaking on the bank, iild:the crew were quite
ready to leave their vessel. The lifeboat, accord-
ingly, took off the crew of fourteen men and a
pilot, and put them on board the steam-tug, when
they were taken to Liverpool. It appeared that the
barque was the Coquimbo, of Sunderland, bound
from Liverpool to Alicante with coals; they had
parted from three hawsers while being towed out,
and had then gone on the sand bank. The lifeboat
behaved well, and the men appear to have great
confidence iu her. The cost of this lifeboat, as well
as the Holyhead lifeboat, was the gift of the Na-
tional Lifeboat Institution, of Joseph Leather, Esq.,
of Fairfield Mount, near Liverpool.
CARNSORE (Ireland), Feb. 24.

A fine large ship was wrecked on the Tusker
Shoals some time last night (states Mr. Barrett, the
officer of coast guard). She was observed at day-
light, and the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat
Institution at once proceeded off to her. On ar-
riving in her vicinity the sea was so heavy that the
boat had to be anchored in the broken water within
a few yards of the wreck. After remaining there
some hours waiting the return of the south ebb, the
men being drenched to their skins, it was found
that the vessel was abandoned, and the lifeboat
therefore returned to the shore. It appeared after-
wards that the ship was the Arcadia, of Liverpool,
on a voyage to Savanah, with salt, and that the
crew bad taken to their boats when she struck, and
had reached Waterford, one only of their number
being lost. She was nearly a new vessel, but is
likely to become a total wreck.

The Rake is certainly improving, for the stiffness is
gradually wearing off, and he is doing a bit faster work.
He exercises alone. D'Estout nol gallops a mile and a.
quarter with Leyburn ; and Julius is fast getting ready
for the Two Thousand. Dragon has an improved appear-
an co, and is galloping over a mile in splendid form. Hippia
is being led now by o Id Lothario, and she spins along
beautiful, and Moleskin follows Sealskin in rare form, too.
Dot takes Star of India up the Bury Hill clipping. Emi-
grant is preparing Chippenham for Northampton ; and
both Miss Harriette and Othello are being got ready for
early engagements. Tormentor is now galloping a mile
and a half at an excellent pace. Shakespeare will talcs all
the beating that can be given him for the Liverpool Grand
National, for he is in brilliant form, and jumps fences quite
as cleverly as he does hurdles.

unconditionally; whilst the evidence against the nine
others was so unsatisfactory, witnesses being unable
or indisposed to identify them, that they were re-
leased upon their own recognisances to appear when
called upon. The people cheered them a good deal
when released. At Killarney, Mr. Cruise, resident
magistrate of Kerry, and Major Percy, resident
magistrate, remain as representatives of the civil
power, in addition to the local justices of the peace.
Mr. Green, resident magistrate, who was deputed
by Lord Naas to assist Mr. Cruice at Killarney,
and who was stationed for some days at Cahirci-
veen, has returned to Dublin. Searches for arms
are now made almost daily, but hitherto the
search has been invariably unsuccessful, both in
town and country. The arms given up at Kil-
larney sines the county was proclaimed include
some 60 or 70 rifles or fowling-pieces. But
these are generally surrendered by people whose
loyally is known, while the disaffected persons bury
their fireal ms in the bog, where, with a little greased
rag in the muzzle and round the nipple, a gun will
keep without suffering any injury. In taking leave
of Killarney it would be wrong to omit mention of
the material services rendered to the Government
and to the cause of order in Kerry by the Great
Southern and Western Railway Company not only
in their arrangements for forwarding troops and
munitions, but for the readiness with which the
handsome hotel built by them near the station was
at once, through the manager, Mr. Currie, placed at
the disposal of the authorities. In the first days of
the outbreak the hotel was half fortress, half bar-
rack. It has not quite lost that character now, and
but for the accommodation which it afforded to offi-
cers and men, and its excellent position in command-
ing both the station and the town, it is hard to say
what would have become of the garrison which was
-so suddenly poured into the town.

The evidence I have gathered leads me to disbe-
lieve entirely the rumour of any landing on the
coast of Valentia or any part of Kerry, nor do I
think there were any Irish-Americans besides
O'Connor and Moriarty who came to grief at Kil-
larney. Though situated so near to Cahirciveen,the
island of Valentia remained perfectly quiet through-
out the disturbance, and the Knight of Kerry, with
his family, who reside on the island, showed a con-
fidence in the people which was not misplaced.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS. —Tiers DAY.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock.
IRON GUN BOATS.
Mr. HENDERSON gave notice that he would, on
Friday next, ask tho First Lord of the Admiralty how
many gun boats had been built on the Thames, and
whether other builders in the kingdom had had au op-
portunity of tendering for such vessels. (Hear, hear.)
PERSONAL EXPLANATION.
Lord NAAS corrected an innceoracy committed by him
iu the introducing the Habeas Corpus Suspension (Ireland)
Act Continuation Bill. On that occasion he stated front
what he believed to be undoubted authority, that when D.%
Moriarty, the Roman Catholic Bishop, denounced, on the
ensuing week previous to the Feuiau movement, that
several persons got up and left the ;church. That state-
ment ho now found was incorrect, and in a letter he hail
received from Dr. Moriarty he stated that no one left the
church, and that he never addressed an audience who
showed greater adhesion to what ho said than on that
occasion. He (Lord Naas) had great pleasure in making
the correction.
THE NORTH AMERICAN CONFEDERATION
BILL.
Mr. lIADFIELD asked whether the Government in-
tended to proceed to-morrow with this bill, before it had
been printed ?
Lord NAAS said it was desirable that the Colonial
Secretary in that house should make his statement as early
as possible. The hon. gentleman could inform himself of
the contents of the bill by applying to the House of Lords
for a copy of it.
