MARKE TS.-- rhis day.

MARK-LANE.

Very little English wheat was received fresh up to our
market to-day. Although the show of samples was limited
the demand was very inactive at Monday's currency.
The imports of foreign wheat have exceeded 16,000 quar-
ters. Most descriptions moved off slowly; nevertheless,
prices were supported.
Floating cargoes of grain were inactive.
There was a slow inquiry for both English and foreign
barley at late rates.

Malt was in good supply and sluggish request. In pricos
no change took place.
The oat trade was rather heavy at late rate; as dealers
are now well in stock.

Bans and peas changed hands slowly at previous quo

tations.

The sale for flour, seeds, and cakes was somewha'

heavy.

of vile language, was obliged to be carried to the
park station, and while being brought from the
park to the Marlborough-mews Station, behaved in
a very violent manner, throwing him (Hall), and
kicking him and another constable about the legs,
and it required four constables to get him to the
station.

Another constable having given similar evidence,

The prisoner asked the magistrate to excuse him
this time, as he had a family to keep. He hat a
license to sell books, but his license had run out,
and he was trying to get some money to get another.

totaller for nine years.

Mr. Knox said the prisoner had insulted every
passer-by, especially ladies who could not defend
themselves, and the❑ assaulted a ma❑ in a most un-
provoked manner. If the prisoner thought he
could behave in such a manner in a civilised country
he was mistaken. As a warning to others, he would
give the prisoner the full penaity, and that was that
he be imprisoned with Kurd labour for two mouths.

WESTERN SHAREHOLDERS' ASSOCIATION.

It appears that the objects of this association are
to impress upon the directors of the various com-
panies the abandonment of some or all of the
schemes for extension now projected by the respec-
tive companies in the present session of Parliament,
and, if consilered advisable; to obtain the sanction
of Parliament to the abandonment of any unpro-
fitable scheme to which either company may be
considered to be pledged by Parliament. The chair-
man, Mr. R. Brent, and the hon. secretaries, Messrs.
11. S. Ellis and R. M. Daw, state that they have
forwarded copies of memorials, signed by numerous
influential shareholders, to the directors of the Lon-
don and South-Western Railway Company, the
Bristol and Exeter Railway Company, expressing
their opinion that it is most undesirable to assist the
formation of the Devon and Cornwall and other pro-
jected railways in the West of England, excepting
the extension from Okehampton to Lidford ; urging
that every facility be given to the public for the
interchange of traffic between the various Western
railways. They also state that a deputation from
this association has already had an interview with the
dir, ctors, in reference to the various extensions pro-
jected or supported by the London and South-
Western Company, at which interview the directors
signified their desire to postpone as long as possible
the construction of such branches and extensiops as
are partly made, and to enter into no engagements
for the construction of other branches and lines ex-
cept such as are absolutely necessary.

SINGAPORE GAS (LIMITED).
The directors state, in their report, that the profits
of the company for the half-year ending Dec. 31
were £990, which, together with £25 from the pre-
ceding half-year, made an available balance of
£1,016, out of which the directors recommended a
dividend at the rate of 3f per cent. per annum on
the amounts paid up on the original capital, free of
income tax, leaving a balance of £5l. Mr. E. J.
Wells, the manager, states in his report that the ad-
vantages of gas over cocoanut oil for illuminating
purpos-s was fully appreciated by all classes of resi-
dents in Singapore. The total increase of lights for
the half-year was 798. The collection of the gas ren-
tal had been satisfactory, and the profits on the fit-
tings and sundries, and also the sale of the residual
products, had fully answered his expectations. The
total number of lights fixed at the eud of the half-
year was 5,310. The revenue account for the half-
year showed that £4,332 had been received, and
£3,342 expended, leaving a balance of £990.
London, England, 1867-04-26

WEST FLANDERS.

The report of the directors states, in reference to
the claims of the preference and original share-
holders to the division of any Stun that might re-
main for dividend after paying the interest, 51 per
cent., on the preference shares and Bs. 9d. (or 5 per
cent. on £8 155.) to the original shareholders, that
the question had been submitted to eminent law-
yers in England and Belgium, and the opinion of
all of them, varying somewhat in positiveness, was
in favour of the original shareholders. The statutes
of the company provided that in the event of a dis-
pute between the shareholders the question should
be submitted to three arbitrators in Belgium, whose
decision should be final. A holder of 'preference,
shares having raised the question, it had been sub-
mitted, with the usual form,dities, to three arbitra-
tors appointed by the Tribunal of Commerce at
Bruges. The decision of the arbitrators was in
favour of the original shareholders, and the direc-
tors hoped that this 'decision, according as it (lid
with the best opinions they could take, had finally
set the question at rest. The statement of accounts
fur the past half-year showed that after providing
for the fixed charges, there remained a balance of
£7,034, out of which the directors proposed to pay
4s. 9d. per share, payable as usual on and after the
15th of May next, and to carry forward a balance
of £6BO. Since the last meeting the directors had
paid £1,231, the balance due for carriages and
trucks, thus closing that account, The Societe

The report of the directors stated that the dis-

£3,941, out of which the directors recommended a

LLANELLY.

A Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the offices, Great George-street, West-
minster ; Mr. J. Biddulph in the chair.
Mr. Markby, the solicitor, read the head of a bill
for granting further powers to the Llanelly Com-
pany, and to enable them to give their dock as se-
curity for £50,000, which the Harbour Commis-
sioners of Llanelly intended borrowing from the
Loan. Commissioners, with the view of securing
better harbour accommodation for that place.
After a long discussion it was agreed, on the
motion of Mr. HELEN, seconded by Mr. FOWLER,
that the bill be approved, with the exception of the
part relating to the agreement with the Harbour
Commissioners of Llanelly.

LLYNVI AND OGMORE.
A WhArncliffe meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the Great Western Hotel, Padding-
ton ; Mr. A. Macgregor in the chair.
The Solicitor read the heads of a bill, authorising
the company to raise additional capital to the extent
of £lOO,OOO, with the usual borrowing powers, and
to sanction traffic arrangements with the South
Wales Mineral Railway Company.
The CHAIRMAN said the necessity for increased
capital was caused by an incorrect estimate of the
amount required for new works in connexion with

the harbour and decks at Porthcawl, and for ad-
ditional rolling stock. The necessity for additional
rolling stock implied the fulfilment of their expec-
tations as to the increase of traffic, and he believed
it was likely to exceed their expectations. The
works at the port were almost completed, and their
prospects when completed were exceedingly good
The inner basin would have a depth of water of 29
feet at spring tides and 18 feet at neap tides.
A resolution approving the bill was carriei, and
the proceedings terminated.

TIIAMES.

AN UNMITIGATED SCOUNDREL.—Janes Newman,
a labourer, about 27 years of age, was brought be-
fore Mr. Paget charged with being disorderly in the
Carlton Arms publichouse, at the corner of Devon-
shire-street, opposite the Great Eastern Railway, •
Globe-road, Mile-end.
It appeared from the evidence of Mary Black, a
bar-woman, in the service of Mr. Hugh Cotter,
the landlord of the Carlton Arms, that the prisoner
called there yesterday afternoon, and called for a
pot of malt liquor, which she refused to part with
until it was paid for. lie made use of abusive
language, reached over the bar, and took the quart
of " half-and-half" from her, and he and his com-
panions drank it. The bar-woman demanded the
money for it, and he made use of fearful language,
which she could not repeat, and then turned on the
taps of the cordials and the brandy and wasted the
liquors. He remained in the house making a dis-
turbance until the landlord returned, and was then
given into custody.
Mr. Hugh Cotter, the landlord of the Carlton
Arms, said the prisoner had been a source of re-
peated annoyance to him for a long time. lie had
forbidden him the house and refused to serve him
with anything. The witness then gave utterance
to some of the disguesting language used towards
his bar-woman, and which the prisoner repeated in
his presence. lie never heard worse language in
, his life. The prisoner was an unmitigated scoundrel.
Mr. Paget said it was not to be endured that a
fellow like the prisoner was to cuter a respectable
publichouse and expose a young woman of decency
and respectability to his brutal insolence, and to use
. language to her which was too disgusting for her to
repeat. The prisoner was a ruffian of the worst
class, and no doubt a terror to those licensed vic-
tuallers who kept orderly houses. He fined the
prisoner 405., and, in default of payment, to be im-
prisoned 14 days.

LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1867

The Luxemburg question engrosses so mach
attention at present that it is interesting tk) notice
what the French papers say of it ; and M. I'AULIN
LI'MAYRACS article, published in the Constitittionne/
of yesterday, will meet with many readers. Ile
protests with great energy against the opinion that
has gained ground in Germany, to the effect that
France desires war, and states that everything proves
the contrary of the assertion, French policy having
been, as it is, a policy of peace and conciliation.
Here follows a declaration which is fair courage in
itself, I ut does not do much credit to the discern-
ment of those entertaining the opinion under exist-
ing eiteunastanceS. It was credited by the French
Government, we are told, that Prussia would
,‘ make it a point of honour to show moderation

and consideration for the rights and interests of her
neighbours;" and what gave rise to this notion was
the recollection of all she had gained in the war,
in the way of successes and increase of territory.

The settlement of the Luxemburg question was

entered upon as an opportunity that would

offer itself for Prussia to act towards France

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is t 5.124 per £1 sterling. On
tomparing these rates with the English Mint price 01 A 4
toid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about .-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about foe} per cent. At this rate there is
no profit on the importation of gold from the United titates.

FIRE AT THE KENSINGTON BAZAAR.—This
(Friday) morning, about one o'clock, a fire broke out in
the largo double-building known as the Kensington
Bazaar, in High-street, Kensington, the property of Mr.
George Guay. Conductor Green at once attended with
the Royal Society's escape, but was seriously injured in
extinguishing the fire. Shand, Mason, and Co.'s land
steamers attended, but the fire was not extinguished until
serious damage was done.
THE FENIAN TRIALS.—The Commission for the
trial of the Fenian prisoners resumed its sittings in Dublin
on Wednesday morning before the Lord Chief Justice,
Judge Fitzgerald, and Baron Deasy. The greater part of
the day was occupied with discussions relative to certain
legal technicalities and the arraignment of several pri-
soners. We learn by telegraph that the Commission was
occupied the whole of yesterday in the discussion of legal
objections raised by the prisoners' counsel. A jury was
sworn to try Thomas Burke and Patrick Doran, after which
the Court adjourned until to-day, when the Attorney-
General was to state the case for the prosecution. A letter
has been published purporting to have been writtenby the
escaped Fenian Centre Kirwan,'who, the communication
—which may or may not be genuine—states has reached
Paris in safety.

SINGAPORE GAS (LIMITED).

The directors state, in their report, that the profits
of the company for the half-year ending Dec. 31
were £990, which, together with £25 from the pre-
ceding half-year, made an available balance of
£1,016, out of which the directors recommended a
dividend at the rate of 3f per cent. per annum on
the amounts paid up on the original capital, free of
income tax, leaving a balance of £5l. Mr. E. J.
Wells, the manager, states in his report that the ad-
vantages of gas over cocoanut oil for illuminating
purposes was fully appreciated by all classes of resi-
dents in Singapore. The total increase of lights for
the half-year. was 798. The collection of the gas ren-
tal had been satisfactory, and the profits on the fit-
tings and sundries, and also the sale of the residual
products, had fully answered his expectations. The
total number of lights fixed at the end of the half-
year was 5,310. The revenue account for the half-
year showed that £4,332 had been received, and
£3,342 expended, leaving a balance of £990.

the enactment relating to the huddling the rem' people
together in vaccine stations would be altered.
The am endment was negatived without a division, and
hte house went into committee on the bill.
Clauses 1 to 4 were agreed to without amendment.
On clause 5 a discussion arose relative to the duty of the
Government ins pector going round the country examin-
ing the childr en to ascertain whether vaccination bad
been well and successfully done, upon which the reward
of the medical men would depend.
Mr. HENL EY thought the proposal was likely to lead
to great inconvenience, and Mr. M. Chambers thought it
a reflection upon the medical profession that a Govern-
ment inspector should go round to ascertain whether me-
dical gentlemen of high honour had done their duty;
he
therefore moved that the clause be shuck out. Dr. Brady
thought the medical loan ought to be paid Well for his
work, and then t here would be no necessity /Or rewards.
The clause was ultimately agreed to.
Oil clause G being proposed, which enacted that children
should be brought to appointed stations for vaccination,
Mr. HENLEY moved to striko3 out the words '•ap-
pinted station," in order that vaccination might take.
placi either at the house of the appointed medical man or
at the homes of the parents of the children, and that the
vac..inator might receive payment for the operation per-
formed wader such circumstances, because as the bill stood
the vaczinator was only to receive payment for these •
children vaccinated at the station.

Lord ROI3EILT MONTAGU would not oppose the
amendment, tecause that appeared to be the object of the
bill.

The amendment was with,lrawn on the understanding
that the intention of that part of tho clause should be more
clearly defined:

Dr. BRADY then moved his amendment, which related
to the remuneration public vaccinators should receive.
The house was engaged on this discussion up to seven
o'clock, when the sitting was suspended until nine.

MR. BAXTER, M.P., AND TILE REFORM QUESTION.
—At a meeting of the Arbroath branch of the Scottish
Reform League, held on Tuesday evening, a letter from
Mr. Baxter, M.P., was read, stating that ho had presented
a petition from the branch praying for certain amendments
in the Scotch Reform Bill. With reference to these Mr.
Baxter wrote :—" I agree generally with the prayer ; but
don't you think that household suffrage in counties would
band them over to the landlords? An agricultural la-
bourer is•a very different person from an artisan in a
burgh." One of the persons at the meeting was of opinion
that employers in towns had as much influence over their
workpeople as landlords in counties. Others stated that
household suffrage in counties would enfranchise the arti-
sans in villages, who were not under the landlords.
Two LIVERPOOL MAGISTRATES NEARLY KILLED.
—The dangerous practice of hoisting goods in and out of
warehouses in crowded streets nearly caused the death of
two magistrates in Liverpool yesterday. Mr. Raffles,
stipendiary magistrate, and Mr. Clint, one of the borough
magistrates, were passing some premises occupied by Mr.
Golding, corn merchant, in North John-street, whin a sack
of meal fellb out of a; sling while being hoisted up to the top
story, and fell at their feet. Had it fallen ou them, death
