IMPERIAL GAS.

The half-yearly general meeting of this company
was held yesterday at the company's offices ; Mr. E.
V. Richards, governor, in the chair.
The report, an abstract of which has appeared
in The Sun, was read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report and accounts, said that during the past year,
owing to a reduction of 6d. per thousand cubic feet,
the consumers had gained £45,000. A sum of
£10,500 additional had been spent in coals, whereas
it had produced a return in the sale of coke of
£3,234 less. Nevertheless, the company was able
to maintain its usual dividend ; but it carried over
the small sum of £790.

A PROPRIETOR desired some information upon an
item of £2,535, which was carried to the debit of
contingencies.

TheCIIAIRMAIsT explained that the sum was owing
to some Parliamentary expenses, which the direc-
tors thought might fairly be carried to contingen-
cies, rather than come under the head of ordinary
expenditure.

The motion for the adoption of the report and
accounts having been seconded by the DEPUTY-
GOVERNOR was unanimously carried.
The meeting was then made special, and resolu-
tions to the following effect were carried :--Em-
powering the directors to increase the share capital
by £260,000 in 26,000 shares of £lO each, part of
amount of money borrowed by the company upon
its mortgage debentures or bonds, such new shares
to be entitled to a dividend pro rata with the exist-
ing £5O shares. The new shares were to be offered
to the shareholders at par, in the proportion of one
£lO for every £5O share. £325,000 was to be raised
by 26,000 new shares of £l2 10s. each, carrying a
maximum dividend of 7 per cent., such shares to be
offered to the shareholders at par. Any shares not
taken up by the proprietors were to be dispbsed of
in the discretion of the directors.
A vote of thanks to the chairman and Board con-
cluded the proceedings.

Abergeldie, who sweated five miles at the close of last
week, has been doing real good work for the last few days,
and this morning galloped a mile Lnd a half very fast, led
by Salpinctes. Doubtless, when he returns home from
Newmarket he will be tried with Proserpine, who could
not stay the Cesarewitch distance, but appears to have run
as fast as anything to the Bushes, and will afford a good
line for Henry Goatees stable this journey.

STATE OF TRADE.

BRADFORD, Oct. 11.—The report of the Liver-
pool cotton-market, representing large sales, has no
influence on this market. Staplers, nevertheless,
have sold some fair quantities of wool at last week's
rates. Growers in the country are holding out for
high prices, which in the absence of any buoyant
feeling here, staplers cannot concede. Prices, though
firm, cannot be quoted as dearer than last Monday.
Spinners engaged in the export trade are not receiv-
ing fresh orders in yarns. Seine spinners are get-
ting slacker. The home branch continues good, and
the demand for twofold and coloured yarns keeps
up well. Spinners in whose hands stocks are accu-
mulating are not indisposed to meet the buyer.
There is no improvement in the piece trade. Manu-
facturers receive some scanty orders, and are pretty
well employed on old contracts. There has been 1Q
change in prices.

MARLBOROUGH.

Pepper's Ghost was again going grandly this morning,
galloping a mile and a half clipping, his companions being
the Zuyder Zee colt and Overtonian. The rest of Alec
Taylor's horses that are now at home exercise were work-
ing steadily. Staghound .and Captain Kidd were again
absentees.

SURREY CONSUMERS' GAS.

The half yearly general meeting of this company
was held yesterday at the Bridge-house Hotel, Lon-
don-bridge, Mr. Pocock in the chair.
The Secretary read the report, an abstract of
which has already appeared.
The CIIAIRMAN moved the adoption of the re-
port, which was carried unanimously. He then said
that in the year 1860 the gas question was finally
settled. The Legislature thought the time had
arrived when the gas question ought to be thoroughly
investigated. An investigation was made, and the
charges brought against the companies were heard
as well as the companies themselves, and after some
time it was decided to adjust the question in such
a manner as would be satisfactory to all parties.
The Legislature said they would give the gas com-
panies an Act of Parliament which should secure to
them advantages which they would have no reason
to complain of, and, at the same time, give to
the consumers all the rights and privileges they
ought to have. For some years it was thought to be
a just act of Parliament. The Legislature stated
that there were gas companies who were put to
an enormous expense in laying down miles and miles
of pipes, when perhaps they would scarcely have a
customer for a distance of three or four miles, for
which reason gas companies could not supply their
gas at a lower rate. They, therefore, gave those

NOTES

FROM
TRAINING DISTRICTS.

(THIS DAY.)

NEWMARKET.

The weather continues fine, and the training grounds
in beautiful condition, consequently trainers are very
active with their Houghton candidates, especially the Cam-
bridgeshire nags. Dalesman is doing first-class for the
last of our great handicaps, and will take a lot of beating,
as he goes exceedingly free, and his public form
this week has been good. Out and Outer went a
rattling mile and a quarter gallop this morning,
and Broomielaw got into rare work. Saccharometer
did a mile and a half Rowley, and so did Plutus and Sultan.
Slender took Paris and Peon a mile and a quarter at a steady
pece. Jollity followed Vulture a mile and three-quarters
and Saladin galloped a mile and a quarter fast. La Favo-
rite cantered about ; and Peeress was in slow work. Am-
bition did a mile and a half, smartly. Vespasian galloped
a mile, sharp; and Duke of York went a mile and a quarter
at a good pace. Il Re Galantuomo hada mile and a half gallop.
Knight of the Crescent galloped a mile and three quarters
steadily, but Savernake was amiss. Mineral and Claxton
were working slowing. Honiton trotted only. Bayonnette
went a mile and throe quarters fast. Whalebone did a mile
and a half, and his late stable companion, Robin Hood (by
Wild Dayrell), about the same length. Lothario galloped
two miles, and went like a bird. Kingsley moved freely.
The Plena= was rattling along over three quarters of a
mile. Vauban went a mile beautifully, and so did Knight
of the Garter, but the Rake was eased. Floranthe improves
daily. The two year old Flutter colt was in slow work,
but Star of India, Guy of Warwick, Lochaber, Euchan-
teur, Greenback, Pericles,iCamilla, Fallknstein, and Roche-
fort were all in fast exercise.

Captain James Anderson.

The following is a copy of a communication sent
by the Mercantile Marine Service Association to
Capt. Anderson :—•" Sir,—lam desired by the coun-
cil of the Mercantile Marine Service Association to
convey to you their most hearty congratulations
upon your recent brilliant and successful services in
connection with the laying of the telegraph wires
between England and America, thus joining toge-
gether by unprecedented sagacity, perseverance, and
skill the people of Old England with their kinsfolk
in the United States and in Canada—the inhabi-
tants of Europe, Asia, and Africa, and the ancient
governments and special interests that attach to these
three quarters of the globe, with the large and daily
increasing portion of the great human family popu-
lating North and South America—in a word, bind-
ing by the metallic cords of matured science, and,
as we also hope, by the less material though
more important ties of nature and Christian affec-
tion, the Old and the New Worlds in an ever-
enduring and indissoluble bond of mutual trust,
closer friendship, and increasing esteem. The coun-
cil have requested me specially to mention their
pride, as members of the mercantile marine service
of this country, in witnessing as the happy con-
summation of your prosperous and meritorious
career the marked and generous proof of her gra-
cious Majesty's appreciation of your distinguished
public services, and of your high personal character
as a citizen of this great empire. lam sure that I
am fully justified in adding that every individual
member of the association is personally gratified by
your well deserved and most graciously bestowed
distinction, and it may well be taken as their united
and earnest hope that you may long be spared to
enjoy the proud position you have attained ; and,
furthermore, that every blessing may attend you to
your life's end. The name of Capt. Sir Jas. Ander-
son must ever be prominent on the roll of British
seamen, and will always act as a stimulus to the
mercantile marine of England so to discharge their
onerous and highly responsible duties as to merit
the approval of others and of their own con-
sciences.—l am, Sir, faithfully yours, CHARLES

AN AMERICAN SYSTEM OF FRAUD.

•
A few days since a gentleman belonging to
Lloyd's, and who has (or had) a son residing in the
United States, received a letter, purporting to have
been written by the son's wife, vehemently urging
him to send over " £lO by return mail, in order to
save his son from starvation, or at all events, to
prevent his last breath from being drawn in the
midst of penury and want." The writer addressed
her father-in-law as her " dearest friend," although
he was quite unaware of the fact that his son, who
was single on his leaving England, had since mar-
ried, or that he had ever entertained the intention of
taking unto himself a wife. Moved, however, by
the apparent earnest.less of the appeal, he hastened
to enclose a £lO Bank of England note in a letter,
which requested further information ; but there was
nevertheless a faint dawn of suspicion on his mind
as to the source of the appeal, and before posting
the letter he mentioned the fact' to a gentleman of
his acquaintance, and, like himself, a member of
Lloyd's. To his surprise this gentleman stated that
he had received a precisely similar letter from the
United States, and that another gentleman, with
whom he was acquainted, had received a third
As it appeared to be impossible that tbe sons of theE.
three gentlemen should, at one and the same time,
have been ' reduced to a state of destitution in dif-
ferent parts of a strange country, it was at once con-
cluded that the whole of the letters formed part of
an organised scheme to obtain money by fraud; and
the gentleman first referred to consequently
his letter, requesting further information, but with-
out forwarding the £lO note, which he had at first
enclosed. posted

Cure'of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

ADELPHI.

Last night a new burlesque, entitled " The Babes in the
Wood," from the pen of Mr. H. J. Byron, was produced
here with very great success. The actual tradition of the
old nursery tale is preserved, but the cruel uncle is trans-
formed into a second Macbeth, urged on to crime by the
promptings of his wife, who suffers the usual sleep-walking
horrors, while the male babe, Tommy, appeals to the
humanities of his torturer in the perverted language of
Prince Arthur's address to Hubert. Mr. Toole, as the
Babe Tommy, acted with extraordinary zest. Miss Wool-
gar played the cruel Uncle, and though evidently suffering
from illness, threw an immensity of spirit into the part.
Mr. Bedford was a sufficiently border ruffian, Miss Kelly a
spiteful, precocious "niece," and Mr. C. J. Smith deserves
the greatest credit for his make-up and exaggerated render-
ing of the true melodramatic villain. The burlesque is a
work of the highest order of excellence in its way, for the
laughter it produces among the audience is uproarious, and
so continuous that it ceases only with the piece itself. The
scenic arrangements were excellent.

FURTHER HEARING,

The Attorney-General, Sir Richard Bethell, resumed
and concluded his argument for the respondents. The
learned counsel contended that the appellants were not en •
titled to a new trial on the ground of me judicata.
The appellants allege that they are entitled to a new
trial on the ground of having additional evidence to produce
competent, and omitted at the former trial.
Mr. George Young, of the Scotch bar, is now being
heard on the same side.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(7IIIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

OBTAINING BILL-HEADS FOR FRAUDL LENT PURPOSES

—Alfred Elphinstone, a respectable-looking man, described
as a tailor, of 11, Richmond-street, Soho, and who, during
the hearing of the case, kept Lis face covered with his
pocket-handkerchief, was charged before Mr. Beadon with
obtaining 50 bill-heads from Mr. Halifax, printer, of Ox-
ford-street, in July, 1858, by false pretences.
Richard Henry Thatcher, in the employ of Mr. Halifax,
said about twelve months ago a person, who he believed to
be the prisoner, came and asked for 50 bill-heads for Messrs.
Gobby and Haynes, who were customers, and as he brought
the usual message they were given to him.
George Snelgrove, clerk to Messrs. Gobby and Haynes,
army clothiers, near Regent -street, said the firm were sup-
plied by Mr. Halifax with bill-heads, he being the person
whose duty it was to send for them when wanted. He gave
no order either to the prisoner or any one else in July of
last year for the bill-heads in question, and none were de--
livered to him. He only knew the prisoner as having for-
merly worked for the firm, but he believed a porter had
been connected with the prisoner.

Joy, 338 A, said a quantity of cloth, &c., had been ob-
tained by means of the bill-heads, and asked for a remand
that he might be prepared with the necessary evidence.
Mr. Beadon remanded the prisoner for a few days.
AN I-NtrosTon.—Mary Ann Brown was charged with
being drunk and inciting charity by pretending to have the
cholera. At the time she was taken into custody by Hill,
84 C, she was groaning as if in agony, but on the road to
the station she admitted that nothing was the matter with
her.
Fined 55., and cautioned.

M. Granier de Cassagnac tells the public in the
Pays that people in Paris have no idea of the immense pride
which the honest rustios of the provinces take in the
bravery of their Emperor. They are all, he says, familiar
with the story of the epaulette carried away by a ball. No
doubt they are, for the anecdote has been most sedulously
One, bybut unfortunately it is untrue, as M. de Cas-
sagnaccirculated the prefeetatial journals. The story is a vary
or at least has the means of knowing. The
simple truth about the epaulette is that the Emperor, who
pretty
know,
wears the epaulettes of a general cif division, took one off
to give to Brigadier-General Auger in token of his promo-
tion, while he was lying wounded on the field.
