LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE.

The report of the directors of this company states
that the amount of capital on the 30th June last on
which dividend or interest was pail out of revenue
was as f0110w5—£12,693,591 consolidated stock,
£4,016,025 guaranteed and preference stocks,
£5,540,906 loans, atkd £91,076 advanced on calls ;
total, £22,374,601. The expenditure charged to
capital for the past half-year amounted to £299,510,
of which £101,455 was for land and for enlarge-
ment of stations, £59,937 for rolling stock, and
£138,118 for 16 new and branch lines. The revenue
account for the half year showed that £1,201,538
had been received, against £1,157,358 in the same
half of 1866, showing an increase of £44,180. The
disbursements amounted to £516,891, against
£481,167 in the same half of 1866, showing an in-
crease of £35,727. The balance of revenue applic-
able to the payment of dividend on the ordinary
stock of the company was £429,044, out of which
the directors recommended the proprietors to de-
clare a dividend at the rate of GI per cent. per
annum, less income tax, payable on Sept. 2, carry-
ing forward £16,493 to the next account. The addi-
tional capital now chargeable to revenue, together
with the high rate of working expenses, prevented
the directors from recommending a higher rate of
dividend. The expenditure on capital account was
less than had taken place for some time past. The
directors had confined the outlay during the half-
year to the absolute necessities of the company, and
they hoped, looking at the present and prospective
wants of the company for the current half-year, to
be able to limit the expenditure on capital account
for general purposes to £lOO,OOO. The shareholders
were not likely to be called upon to sanction the
issue of any additional capital during the current
half-year. The capital account showed that
£22,475,855 had been expended, leaving a balance
of £35,906 against the company.

THE QUEEN'S YISIT TO JEDBURGII.

Arrangements are now pretty nearly completed
for the reception of her Majesty on the occasion of
her approaching visit to Jedburgh. It is believed
that her Majesty will arrive on the 22d or 23d of
the present month. She will drive from Floors
Castle, and enter the burgh early in the day.
Three splendid triumphal arches will be placed in
the town, one at the foot of the High-street, one at
the top near the Market-place, and another at the
Abbey-bridge. An address will be presented by
the magistrates, either when her Majesty enters the
burgh or when she reaches the Market-place—most
likely in the latter place ; after which, it is expected
she will pass a short time in the Abbey, and on
leaving the town will drive up Jed Forest on her
way to Greenhill, the shooting-box of his Grace
the Duke of Roxburghe. A number of triumphal
arches will be placed along the route by the gentry
and nobility of the district. In the evening a
grand illumination of the town will take place.
The sum of £2O has been voted for the illumination
of the Abbey, and the committee are confident
that with this sum it will be very effective•
Throughout the whole town the greatest exertions
are being made to have everything in a proper
state ; new buildings are being pushed forward
with vigour, and old houses aro undergoing white-
washing and other improvements.

THE FRENCH IN COCHIN CHINA.
PARIS, August 9.

Official despatches have been received here from
Admiral de la Grandiere announcing the occupa-
tion of the six western provinces of Lower Cochin
China. The French troops occupied the towns of
Ving Lung, Sadec, Chandoc, and Ilatien without
firing a shot, the mandarins of these places opening
their
gates with the unanimous consent of the in-
habitants. The annexation of these territories to
France has been effected because they served as
refuges to pirates and agitators. A proclamation
of Admiral de la Grandiere, dated 25th June, says :
" Henceforth the six provinces of Lower Cochin
China are and will remain French territory."

The Sewer Flood in Belgravia.

Few persons who are not actual sufferers have
any notion of the frequency with which, not so
very long ago, the districts in London which lie iu
the line of the great sewers were liable to inunda-
tions of sewer-water during great storms. Within
these very few years any severe thunderstorm would
inundate the basements of houses in certain parts of
Bond-street near the King's Scholarspond sewer,
and of the Westbourne district of Paddington near
the Ranelagh sewer; but since these sewers have
been reconsttucted and connected with the Metro-
politan Main Drainage such accidents have ceased.
Still, however, the important districts which are
waiting for the completion of the low level sewer,
especially the lower parts of South Belgravia, are
exposed once in every two or three years to this
horrid nuisance. These districts are below high-
water mark, and if their sewers were not protected
by flap valves- would be inundated by a reflux of
the Thames through the sewers at every high tide.
As it is, during the period of high water nothing can
flow out from the sewers, whose contents gradually
accumulate till the fall of the tide allows them to
disgorge themselves into the river. But if, during
high tide, there should be an unusual rainfall, of
course the sewers will be filled to an extraordinary
degree, and will regurgitate into the drains of
the houses which open into them, unless the latter
are protected by flap-valves, as they always should
be, to keep out gases, rats, and reflux water. The
unluay combination of high tide with violent rain-
fall occurred last week, and, in consequence, the
kitchens and cellars of houses in such low lying
districts as the Vaxhall-road, the Victoria sta-
tion, and South Belgravia generally were. flooded
with dilute sewer-water, to the height 'n some
instances of three feet. The inhabitants
swilll-11)ay, well
ne ldl
pray for the completion of the low
for plenty of power to the pumps thati have
the duty of lifting these occasional floc% s. Whatever
the death-rate of these districts may be now, it
ought to show a reduction when they cease to be
resent. The
from time to time inundated as at p
low level sewer on the north side is s‘'aitin

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

THE POLICE AND THE BASKET WOMEN.—Five women,
named Ellen Cotten, Bridget Burns, Margaret Hooper,
Ann Sullivan, and Ann Shields, were charged before Mr.
At nold with causing an obstruction in Crown-street, Soho,
on the footway with baskets of fruit.
Mr. Arnold ordered the cases to be taken respectively,
stating 'that each case must depend upon its own merits,
and the defendant Cotten was then placed at the bar.
Police-constable Edward Bessey, 178 C, said that yester-
day afternoon ho was on duty in Crown-street, Soho, and
he saw the defendant with some baskets of fruit on the
footway, causing such au obstruction till persons could not
pass. rhere wore groat complaints from the inhabitants.
Mr. Arnold asked the constable if he bad previously
cautioned the defendant.
The constable said he had.
Mr. Arnold inquired of the constable whether he asked
the defendant her name and address.
The constable said ho did not.

Mr. Arnold said that should havo been done. Ile 'did
not see nu necessity for taking them into custody. If the
prisoners be causing an obitruction, their names and
addresses should be taken, end tl'y should be summoned.
Mr. Arnold asked if the evidence was the baIEC in all
cases, and, on the constable stating that it was, he dis-
ehryged the defendants with a caution.
One of the defendants said sha had been at the same
place wit -r stall for two years.
Mr. ArNrd said that was two years longer than she
ought to have stopped.

THROWING STONES AT WATERMEN CAUTION TO BOYS.
—John Allen, a lad about 12 years of age, was charged as
follows:

The Suspected Murder at Limehouse.

This morning the adjourned investigation was
resumed respecting the alleged murder of Agnes
Oakes, aged 22 years, who, as it was first stated,
cut her throat after attempting to murder a lighter-
man, named John Wiggins, with whom she lived.

The court and the streets near it were densely
crowded by persons anxious to get a glimpse of the
accused. Wiggings was brought up before the
court, in accordance with the direr -ion of the
Secretary of Sate. The prisoner was represented
by his solicitor. A great deal of ev.Aence was
taken with the view of showing that the deceased
was a person of confirmed drunk-n habits, And that
she had inflicted the wounds which caused :lead)
with her own hand. The surgeon, however, was
of opinion that much of what had taken place, ant
whiclt was attributed to the deceased, was extimwly
doubtful, the severe nature of the wounds, in his
opinion, living quite sufficient to cause utter pros-
tration the moment tlwy were inflicted. The pri-
soner conducted himself calmly, and made a state-
ment to the effect that the young woman inflicted
the injuries which caused her death with her uwn
hand.

The jury ultimately returned a verdict that the
deceased was found with her throat cut, but the
evidence was not conclusive as to how the injury
had been inflicted.

The Sewer Flood in Belgravia.

Few persons who are not actual sufferers have
any notion of the frequency with which, not so
very long ago, the districts in London which lie in
the line of the great sewers were liable to inunda-
tions
of sewer-water during great storms. Within
these very few years any severe thunderstorm would
inundate the bas2ments of houses in certain parts of
Bond-street near the King's Scholarspond sewer,
and of the Westbourne district of Paddington near
the Ranelagh sewer ; but since these sewers have
been reconstructed and connected with the Metro-
politan Main Drainage such accidents have ceased.
Still, however, the important districts which are
waiting for the completion of the low level sewer,
especially the lower parts of South Belgravia, are
exposed once in every two or three years to this
horrid nuisance. These districts are below high-
water mark, and if their sewers were not protected
by flap valves would be inundated by a reflux of
the Thames through the sewers at every high tide.
As it is, during the period of high water nothing can
flow out from the sewers, whose contents gradually
accumulate till the fall of the tide allows them to
disgorge themselves into the river. But if, during
high tide, there should be an unusual rainfall, of
course the sewers will he filled to an extraordinary
degree, -and will regurgitate into the drains of
the houses which open into them, unless the latter
are protected by flap-valves, .as they always should
be, to keep out gases, rats, and reflux water. The
uulucky combination of high tide with violent rain-
fall occurred last week, and, in consequence,e
kitchens and cellars of houses in such low lying
districts as the Vaxhall-road, the Victoria sta-
tion, and South Belgravia generally werein domedfl
with dilute sewer-water, to the height e
inhabitants may 'well
instances of three feet. Th
pray for the conviction of the low level sewer,
h av and
for plenty of power to the pumps that will e
the duty of lifting these occasional floods. Whatever
the death-rate of these districts may be now, it
ought to show a reduction when they cease to be.
from time to time inundated as at present. The
low level sewer on the north side is waiting for the
Thames Embankment and the railways•
south side the sewer is finished, and yet theOrenweiriee
two —first, the inter-
grievous cases of inundation in the lowest districts.
The means of protection are
cepting or high level sewers, which ought not to
allow time rainfall on the higher groundwhich
reachoug the
uoe
lower ; and, Secondly, the pumps,
off' any rainfall that
be powerful enough to carry
can fall on the waterlogged area below high water-
,ark.-211edical limes and Gazette.

THROWING STONES AT WATERMEN— CAUTION TO BOYS.
-John Allen, a lad about 12 years of age, was charged as

folio ws :

George Simpson, of 5, Caledonia-street, Pimlico, said
that he was a boatbuilder and waterman. Yesterday
afternoon ho was painting a barge in the " Layby" of the
Grosvenor-basin, when the defendant and some other boys
commenced pelting him with stones. One that the defen-
dant threw struck him on the foot. His master, who wit-
nessed the trarsaction, ran after the defendant, and ho was
handed over to the police. •
Mr. Thos. Hither, the master of the last witness, said
that he saw the defendant and two other other boys pelt-
ing the last witness with stones, and when they were
spoken to they made us7.•of had language. Witness ran
after the boys, and in the. Grosienor-road ho saw the de-
fendant take off a little llitoy's cap and hide it under his
coat. Witness charged nu with stealing the cap. A
police-constable came up; and he gave the defendant
into custody.
Mr. Selfe said such dangerous proceedings must be put a
stop to, and he should fine defendant in the sum of 55., or
seven days' imprisonment.
The money was paid by the boy's mother, and he left
the court in her charge.
