PROVISIONS.

Very little business has been. transacted in Irish butter,

101 s to 108 s ; Bosch, 66s to 70s ; Emden and Leer, 86s to
928 ; Morlaux, 75s to 80s per cwt. All kinds of bacon have
been in sluggish request at a decline of fully is to 2s per
cwt. The demand for hams is inactive:'on rather easier
terms. In lard sales progress slowly at drooping prices.
Cheese is dull—Ddant, 50s to 60s ; Gouda, 50s to 56s ;

Heartless Conduct of Bremen Pilots.

On Friday morning Captain Tully and the crew
of the brig Lady Stewart arrived in South Shields.
The Lady Stewart was, on the authority of a tele-
gram from Bremen, announced to have been lost
with all hands. The latter part of the statement,
however, was proved not to be correct by the re-
ceipt of a telegram on Tuesday last stating that
the crew were all at Nieu Dieppe.. Captain Tully
has supplied us (Shields Gazette) with the follow-
ing narrative of the circumstances of the loss of the
ill-fated vessel :

CHIEF BARON KELLY.—At the Judges' Chambers
yesterday Chief Baron Kelly attended for the first time
since his appointment. His lordship was accompanied by
Mr. Baron Bramwell, and had the assistance of one of the
Masters of the court (Mr. Walton) in disposing of some of
the matters.

A further amount of gold representing £79,000
was received at the bullion office of the Bank yes-
terday afternoon,
London, England, 1866-08-23

RIIYMNEy.

The ordinary general meeting of this company was
held on Tuesday at Wood's Hotel, Furnival's-inn,
Holborn ; Mr. C. Simpson in the chair. The re-
port, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun,
was taken as read.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said it must be satisfactory to know that
there was an increase in the receipts for the half-
year of £5,344. With an increased traffic there
there must be an augmentation of the working ex-
penses ; those amounted to £1,215. They were
also working six miles on their road to Cardiff, the
receipts on which, however, were handed over to
the Taff Vale Company. That amounted to £1,205,
making together £2,420, to be deducted from £5,344
increase. The rates and taxes were much greater
than in previous years, and the amount expended
upon works in course of construction were also very
large. The result was that after those matters had
been settled, and the preferential charges met, there
remained a balance of £2,951, out of which the
directors recommended the pap:dent of a dividend
at the rate of 3 per cent, per annum, against 2 per
cent. per annum paid this time last year, which was
a very satisfactory result. Most satisfactory ar-
rangements had been made with the trustees of the
Marquis of Bute, by which a great accession of traffic
would be brought on the line from the Bute Docks.
The works of the Cardiff and Caerphilly line under
the Act of 1864 were in active progress, and hay-
ing been let to responsible contractors, they had no
doubt the railway would be opened within the time
specified.

Mr. Alderman DAKIN seconded the motion, which
was carried unanimously.
A dividend at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum
was declared, payable on the 31st inst., and a vote
of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceed-
ings.
London, England, 1866-08-23

LOSTWITHIEL AND FOWEY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
at Lostwithiel on Monday. Mr. Head presided, and
in moving the adoption of the report referred to the
high price of money, and the pecuniary difficulties
of the company. There was, however, a brighter
prospect before them. The directors were consider-
ing an offer relative to the completion of the line,
and the contractor was ready to finish the works fon.
an additional payment of £5,000, an amount which
he hoped would soon be forthcoming.
The report was adopted, and a resolution was
passed requesting the directors to continue negotia-

tions having for their object the completion of the
railway.

SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the offices, Euston station—Mr. R.
Moon in the chair—when the usual dividends, at the
rate of 41 per cent. per annum on the ordinary
stock, and 5 per cent. per annum on the B stock,
were declared payable on Sept. 1, and a vote of
thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings.

MARKETS.---This Day.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE,

There was a moderate supply of beasts on sale here, to-
day. Prime breeds moved off freely, at full prices, other-
wise the trade was heavy, but at unaltered currencies. The
top figure was 5s 6d per 81bs. The market was fairly sup-
plied with sheel). Prime Downs and half brads changed
hands steadily, and Monday's prices were well supported ;
but for inferior stock the demand was inactive, at barely
late quotations. The inquiry for lambs was limited at from
Gs 4d to 7s 4d per Blbs. Calves were in moderate supply,
and sluggish request, on former terms. Pigs were dull,
but not cheaper. '
London, England, 1866-08-23

MEAT.

NEW GATE AND LEADMMALL.—Moderate supplies of
meat are on sale. Prime qualities are in fair request at
full prices; otherwise, the trade is dull, as follows:
Beef, 3s 6rl to 5s Od ; mutton, 38 8d to 5s 8d ; lamb, 5s 8,1
to Gs 8J; veal, 4s Od to 5s 2d; and pork, 3s 10d to 5s Od
per 81b by the carcase.
London, England, 1866-08-23

SALISBURY AND DORSET JUNCTION.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the offices, Westminster Cham-
bers ; Mr. G. IL Marsh in the chair.
The report stated that the directors had antici-
pated that the railway would by this time have been
opened for traffic, but, owing to the requirements
of the Board of Trade, several additions and altera-
tions were asked for by the Government inspector,
which would retard the opening of the line for a
short time longer. A working arrangement had been
entered into with the South-Western Company to
work the line and pay to this company 55 per cent.
of the gross receipts, reserving 45 per cent. to cover
all charges. Seeing that the gross receipts on the
' Salisbury and Yeovil Rail way now average £32 per
mile per week, and those on the Somerset and Dor-
set Railway £23 per mile per week, the directors an-
ticipated that when the traffic on this line was deve-
loped the gross receipts would not be less than the
first, while they would probably exceed those of the
last-mentioned railway. Under the terms of the
arrangement which had been effected with the Lon-
don and South-Western Railway Company, a traffic
of only £2O per mile per week would produce, after
ileducting working expenses, £10,768 per annum
net, which would suffice to pay a dividend of 5 per
cent. on the share capital. The authorised capital
of the company was £213,300, and the cost up to the
30th June had been £193,535. Of this sum about
£lO,OOO only had been subscribed in the district.
The want of local support had added considerably
to the difficulties the directors had had to contend
with in raising funds for the construction of the
undertaking, and as funds were urgently wanted to
meet the requirements of the Government Inspector,
as well as the unsettled claims of several of the land-
owners, the board appealed to the shareholders to
take some additional shares, and also to residents and
landowners in the district who would be benefited by
the railway to mdthe undertaking by subscribingthe
balance which was required. The authorised capi-
tal would suffice for the completion of the line.
The CHAIRMAN simply moved the adoption of the
report, which was agreed to unanimously.
London, England, 1866-08-23

Last week's prices a shade easier. White wheat, 54s V!

at full prices. Oats scarce, and late rates were supported'
Barley scarce, and met a healthy inquiry.

WESTMINSTER.

A SERIES or FORMIDABLE ATTACKS.—John Sullivan, a
powerful man, was charged with the most unprovoked as-
sault upon a respectable tradesman, and also with a series
of other attacks of a most formidable description.
Mr. James Wheeler said he was walking along the Ful-
ham-road at six o'clock last evening, when the defendant
crossed from the other side of the road and gave him a vio-
lent blow in the face, which he followed up, after taking
off his coat, with pushing and dragging him about the road
until the 'arrival of a constable. The first blow defen-
dant gave was so violent that but for some railings com-
plainant must have fallen to the ground.

Mr. Selfe—What did he do it for
Complainant—l am sure I can't toll.
Mr. Belle —Why you more than any one else?
Complainant—l don't know.
Mr. Selfe—Had you had any words or given any pro•
vocation ?

Complainant—None ; the man is a stranger to me, and
I gave him no provocation by word or deed.
Defendant—l don't remember anything about it.
Mr. Selfe—Where is Felix Howe, the constable, who
took the defendant ?

Inspector Howard—He is unable to attend owing to the
severe injuries he received from the man. He is ill in
bed.

Mr. Selfe—Why I see there are four more charges
against the defendant.
Police-constable 187 B said he found the defendant and
Howe struggling together, and when he went to the spot
defendant attacked him with great fury, knd kicked him
in a very mischievous and dangerous manner. He then
got witness round the legs and jumped on his back. He
was not got to the station-house till after a very desperate
resistance.
Defendant was remanded for a week.

MARKETS.---This Day.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a moderate supply of beasts on sale here, to-
day. Prime breeds moved off freely, at full prices, other-
wise the trade was heavy, but at unaltered currencies. The
top figure was 5s Gd per 81bs. The market was fairly sup-
plied with sheep. Prime Downs and half brads changed
hands steadily, and Monday's prices were well supported ;
but for inferior stock the demand was inactive, at barely
late quotations. The inquiry for lambs was limited at from
Gs 4d to 7s 4d per 81bs. Calves were in moderate supply,
and sluggish request, on former terms. Pigs were dull,
but not cheaper.

DUBLIN AND BELFAST JUNCTION.

The report of the directors states that the traffic
during the half-year ending 30th June produced
£35,149, being an increase of £475 as compared
with receipts for the corresponding half of 1865.
The total income for the half-year amounted to
£35,934, the working expenses to £14,633 (401 per
cent. of the receipts), and the total expenditure to
£22,599, leaving a profit of £13,336, which with
. _

£4,552 brought from the previous account, left at
their disposal £17,887, out of which the directors re-
commended a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per
annum, less income tax, after payment of which
£417 would remain to be carried to the credit of the
current half-year. The working expenses exceeded
those of the corresponding period last year by £1,240;
this excess had been principally occasioned by run-
ning additional trains, a general advance in wages,
and higher price of materials, together with a larger
expenditure in renewing the permanent way, par-
ticularly on the Banbridge line. The capital account
showed that £1,124,265 had been expended.

MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN
SHIRE.

The total expenses of this company's railways and
canals, including rents, tolls, duty, &c., from the Ist
of July to the 12th of August, amounted to £61,228,
as against £54,952 for the corresponding period of
1865. The proportion of the South Junction re-
ceipts accruing to this company from the Ist of July
to the 12th of August amounted to £5,078 as against
£5,010 for the corresponding period of 1865, and
the expenses to £2,416, as against £2,009.
London, England, 1866-08-23

EAST LONDON.

The report of the directors states that the pro-
gress of the works to this time had been satisfactory,
and that they were being vigorously prosecuted by
the contractors, Messrs. Brassey, Wythes, and
Lucas. On the south side of the river the company
was in possession of the whole of the land required
for the line. On the north side the purchases had
been confined to those portions of land on either side
of the London Docks, possession of which was re-
quired before the contractors could begin the im-
portant works in these docks. The North Metro-
politan Railway, sanctioned last Session, which was
intended to start from a junction with the Great
Western at Southall, connected by junctions with
the London and North-Western, the Midland, the
Great Northern, and Great Eastern Railways, would
collect a large number of passengers, and bring them
by the most direct route to the great City terminus
of the East London in Broad-street. The East
London Eastern Extension Railway would also tend
to increase the revenue of the company. The capital
account to June 30 last showed that £591,063 had
been expended, leaving a balance in cash and secu-
rities of £209,803.

MANSION HOUSE.

A CUSTOMER AND A MM.—John Rosentball, a well-
dressed young man, was charged before Sir R. Carden with
stealing two coats, value £3 10s., the propertyof Mr.
Greenbourne, tailor, 43, Lombard-street.

William Stephenson, a foreman of the prosecutor, said
that he had known the prisoner as a customer for about
three months, and he understood that he lived at Kenning-
ton. He came to the establishment yesterday, shortly after
ono o'clock in the afternoon, stating that he wanted to try
on a coat which he had ordered last Saturday. Ho went
upstairs with him, and while he was measuring a customer
ho saw the prisoner take one of the coats and put it behind
some goods which he would have to pass going downstairs.
He immediately demanded to search the prisoner's bag,
but he said he had left it at home.. On witness persisting
in seeing the contents of the bag, the prisoner asked him
to go upstairs with him, which he did, and then he told
him that he had two coats, and requested him to let him
go. He was induced to watch him from his having been
suspected of taking a book out of the pocket of a gentle-
man's coat, which was lying on the counter on Saturday
when the prisoner purchased a pair of trowsers at the
shop.

The prisoner did not deny the charge, but expressed his
regret for what had occurred.
•

From the evidence of the policeman, who took him into
custody, it appeared that on being searched at the station
9s. 6d. were found on, and it was stated that he was sus-
pected of having committed another robbery.
Remanded till Wednesday.

EMBEZZLEMENT BY A COLLECTOR.—Edwin Morris was
charged with embezzling £5, the property of his employer,
Mr. William Poller, wine merchant, 88, Tower-hill.
John Sand said that he was a wine and beer retailer at
Green-street, and dealt with Mr. Poller. Last March he
paid the prisoner £5, for which he received a stamped
receipt for £5 2s. 6d., the 2s. 6d. being discount. He dealt
with Mr. Poller, and had been in the habit of paying the
prisoner. _ _ _

The prosecutor said that the prisoner had been in his
employ about four years. Ile sent him to collect the
account in question with others last March, and it was his
duty to pay the money at the latest the day after into his
(prosecutor's) hands. He did not account for the money
he had received from Mr. Stephenson, andlast Wednesday
he discovered that it had been paid, upon which he gave
information to the police.
Anthony Monger, one of the City detectives, said that
he saw the prisoner driving a pony chaise in the Old
Kent-road about half-past 8 o'clock last evening. He fol-
lowed him to his lodgings in the neighbourhood, and told
him that he must take him into custody on charge of em-
bezzlement. The prisoner walked with him, and on the
way said "It is too true ; it is rather a heavy amount."
Ile then handed him six sovereigns, which he said he had
received the night before on account of tha prosecutor,
The prisoner was a married man. He brought from the
prisoner's lodgings several bundles which he had not time
to examine, but they represent sums of money to the amount
of £2OO.
The prisoner was remanded.

THE CASE OF CHARLOTTE WINSOR.—The solici-
tors for the defence of the culprit Charlotte Winsor,
whose execution was fixed to take place on Monday, hav-
ing given notice to the Home-office that the Attorney-
General had issued his fiat for a writ of error to the Ex-
chequer Chamber, on the ground that the decision of the
Court of Queen's Bench is in direct opposition to a decision
given by the judges in Ireland, where, when a jury was
discharged on a criminal charge without giving a verdict,
the proceedings became illegal, the Home Secretary has
granted a further respite till after Easter term.
London, England, 1866-02-12

that thought of Zavier de Maistre, where he
speaks of our bed, as witnessing alike our birth and
our death—" It is a cradle scattered over with
flowers; it is the throne of love; it is a sepulchre !"
And let it here be said that quite as subtly
interfused and as inextricably blent together
as are those constituent elements of the Impas-
sioned and Appalling in Goethe's " Bride of
Corinth," there are intertwined and intermingled
in Sir Buiwer Lytton's " Death and Sisyphus" those
if it be possible yet more widely contrasting con-
stituent elements of the Terrible and the Hu-
morous I And all the while, in very despite of the
essentially pagan character of its theme, the poem
itself has—permeating it throughout—a profound,
consolatory, and elevating philosophy, one, it might
even be said, harmonising in its general spirit with
some among the diviner truths of Christianity !
The influence of it, as indeed of the whole
book of which we are fain to regard it
as perhaps the noblest portion, is serene and puri-
fying—appealing, as it does throughout, to our
tenderest sentiments and our loftiest sympathies.
Having said which in regard to it, we cannot
but reflect that the book presents altogether
a strange and even startling contrast to the last
work of any importance emanating from Sir Bulwer
Lytton's indefatigable imagination. There, in
that latest fiction of his, we seemed to breathe the
close and at times almost mephitic atmosphere of
the chemical laboratory. Here, on the contrary, it
is as if the thymy slopes of Olympus were under
our feet and around us the air of Thessaly.
Otherwise to express it, it is as though the
galvanic battery, the crucible, and the furnace,
having been trifled with for a while, were thrown
aside by this Dreamer of Dreams for the " chorded
shell" upon which his fingers move as deftly at mo-
ments as those of the old Milesian Poet and Musician
Timotheus—not the favourite of Alexander, but the
beloved and admired of Euripides.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE,

LONDON AND SOUTII-WESTERN.

The report of the directors states that the net re-
venue for the six months ending the 31st of De-
cember last, after deducting interest on loans and
all other preference charges, amounted to £213,033,
to which was added £746 from the preceding half-
year, making £213,779 available for dividend.
From this sum the directors recommended a divi-
dend at the rate of 5} per cent. per annum, payable
on the Ist of March, leaving a balance of £1,103.
The interest on the company's mortgage debt stood
at 4.28 per cent., as against 4.26 per cent. for the
same half of 1864. The total traffic receipts for the
half-year ending the 31st of December amounted,
on 4931 miles, to £787,143, against £749,905 on
470 k miles for the corresponding half of 1864, show-
ing an increase of £37,238. The expendi-
ture amounted to £386,367, against £368,571,
showing an increase of £17,796. The net
revenue of the half-year amounted to £400,776, 1
against £381,334 in the corresponding half of
1864, showing an increase of £19,412. The
report of the locomotive engineer showed an in-
crease of 206,100 train miles, the rate per mile being
9.85 d. as compared with 10.24 d. per mile for the
corresponding period of 1864. This increased mile-
age principally arose from the opening of the An-
dover and Redbridge and the Alton and Winchester
lines, together with a portion of the Devon and
Cornwall line (about eight miles in length) ; the
Weymouth and Portland Railway, worked jointly
with the Great Western Railway Company, and the
new service of trains between Kensington and the
Waterloo and London-bridge Stations. The South-
ampton and Netley Railway and the junction with
the Metropolitan Extension of the London, Chat-
ham, and Dover Company at Clapham mght be
considered as completed, and it was hoped they
would be opened for traffic on the Ist of March.
By the latter, and the connection it would form be-
tween Ludgate-hill Station and Clapham Junction
via Brixton and Camberwell, a new system of trains
would be organized between Ludgate-hill and the
Richmond, Twickenham, and Kingston lines. The
further arrangements contemplated could not be
carried out until the doubling of the line of the Chat-
ham Company, the Brighton Company's works on
the Tooting and Sutton line, and the opening of the
Tooting, Merton, and 11, imbledon Railway were
finished. Those works were all making satisfactory
progress. The capital account showed that
£14,762,867 had been received, and £14,738,365
expended, including £519,391, during the past half-
year, leaving a balance of £24,502.

HULL AND SELBY.

The half yearly meeting of this company was held
on Friday at Hull, Mr. J. R. Pease in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report,
which stated that the amount available for dividend
was £34,475. Out of this the directors recom-
mended a dividend of £2 9s. 6d. on each £5O share,
and in likeproportion on the half and quarter shares,
less the income-tax. The chairman remarked that
the expenses for the past half-year had been un-
usually light, and he therefore hoped the directors
would soon be in a position to pay the full dividend.

Mr. J. Loft and Mr. J. Whitaker, the retiring
directors, and Mr. J. Buckton, the retiring auditor,
were re-elected. The proceedings then terminated.

DUBLIN, WICKLOW, AND WEXFORD.

The directors of this company state in their report
that the accounts for the half-year ending Dec. 31
show a profit on revenue of £33,771, and a total
balance available for dividend of £34,024 ; out of
which the directors recommend the usual dividends,
at the rate of 6 per cent. and 5 per cent. per annum
on the original stock of the company, and on the
sums paid in advance of call on the stock of 1864,
leaving £9,687 to be carried forward. The returns
of traffic show an increase over the corresponding
half year of £13,514, of which £10,679 has been
derived from passengers, £1,218 from minerals, and
the remainder from goods, cattle, and parcels. While
the increase in the traffic receipts has been so consi-
derable, the total expenses of working and manage-
ment were only £28,536, or about £3OO less than
the corresponding half of 1864. The works on the
Wexford Extension line were being proceeded with,
