PENARTH.

The half-yearly meeting was held at the offices,
Penarth, near Cardiff, on Friday ; Mr. Crawshay
Bailey, M.P., in the chair.
The report stated that the docks and the railway
were now in the hands of the Taff Vale Company,
and from the rents received a divided per annum on
the preference capital, and at the rate of 4 per cent.
per annum on the ordinary shares.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said they would shortly be able to divide the
full guaranteed dividend of 4i per cent. on the or-
dinary shares.
Mr. CARTWRIGHT seconded the adoption of the
report. The Taff Vale had lost by the lease during
the past half-year, but he believed this wouldnot be
the case long, for Penarth offered facilities that
must eventually command a large traffic. They had
a heavy claim against Smith, Knight, and Co., the
original contractors, and he had full confidence that
the arbitration now in process would prove favour-
able.

Mr. WATKINS questioned whether the most
judicious spot had been selected for the dock, but
he considered that the Taff Vale had made a good
bargain' in leasing the undertaking at 4i per cent.
per annum.

_
The report was adopted and the dividends recom-
mended were declared.

Mr. W. CLIVE, M.P., was elected a director in
the place of Mr. D. Davis, deceased.

A of thanks to the chairman concluded the

proceedings.

MARLBOROUGH.

Savernake again went a two-mile gallop out this morn-
ing a ith the three year old Mayonnaise filly, the Flutter
colt, Bradamante and Pintail being away. We have a lot
of horses that are eased in their work ; but Professor
Pepper's Ghost 5s progressing all right for the back end
handicaps.

The following appeared in our Third Edition of last
evening :

NEWMARKET.

Very little was.done on Sunday morning, for the weather
was bad, and our trainers generally set the Sabbath apart
for rest to man and horse—a, very commendable ru!e,w;!!ch
it would be as well for other dis;Ticts to recognise and sap-
porL This morning (Monday) the race-course, the Long
Hill, and Bury Hill were somewhat heavy from the pre-
vious day's storms, but we had immense st.ings of horses
out, including our Leger representatives—Honiton, Ye -
pasian, Lord Glasgow's two colts, Rhin Hood (oy North
Lincoln), and Leybourne. The half-brother to Queen
Bertha was led a mile and three-quarters by Star of India
and Penelope; but though he is a commanding-looking
horse, and gallops more freely than he did, he lacks pace,
and his hock has been recently blistered. Vespasian
looks and goes well, but is no stayer. It is, however,
generally understood here that he is to be sent to
Doncaster for the special pu pose of making a good pace for
Lord Lyon. Leybourae was working with Sealskin and
Ninco Nance, the three doing nearly a mile and tierce-
quarters at a nice pace. Robin Hood was out, with the
rest of the Baron's team, but he is not near fit, having been
eased so long, owing to limeness. Lord Glasgow's pair
galloped nearly two miles, and the roan is unquestionably
the best. Duke of York has resumed work, and is fancied
by some for the Cesarewitcb, but the Admiral may take as
much care of him for that racy as he will of Nu fo: the
Cambridgeshire. The latter is rattling along each moo-
ing, and is very fit; but the G •e4t Yorkshire Handicap
may be her journey, after all, as she is better in for that
than at Warwier. R rglan Ins left for Fober2s, having
changed hands, and Malibran gone to R. Cooper's. Gold-
pen ar.ived at Joseph Dawson's last week. 'Wes-
pirsian is galloping with Breadalbane, and Broomielaw
by himself. The Rake is all right again, but
he is a mere pony after all. Doctor Sy etax
and the Liza -4:1 galloped a mile and throe-quarters,
and the former moved uncommonly free ; so did Sealskin,
Vulcan, Soiled Dove, Satyr, Beri.ie, Anti-Mac issa; Black-
thorn, Grace Darling, and other horses engaged at
Wrr wick.

Railway and other Companies.

REDDITCII.

The half; yearly meeting of this company was
held on Thursday at Redditch ; Mr. J. Osborne in
the chair.
The report stated that the deed of transfer of
this undertaking to the Midland Railway Company
bad been duly executed by both coinpanies, and
that the transfer would be very shortly completed.
The Midland Company had intimated their readi-
ness to pay the balance of the purchase money under
the contract early in November next. The ordi-
nary dividend of £4 per cent. per annum would be
paid immediately by the Midland Company.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the re-
port, which was seconded by Mr. S. THOMAS, and
carried unanimously.
A dividend at the rate of £4 per cent. per annum
was then declared, and the proceedings terminated.

WEDNZSDAY.

This meeting was concluded to-day, and notwithstand
ing that rain fell in considerable quantities at early morn•

ing, the attendance was, if anytning, larger than on the

opening day. The ring was exceedingly well represented,
and speculation was brisk. The "going" was heavy, and
the rain having collected in yesterday's •' ruts," portions of
the course were under water. Tho principal race of the
day—the Metropolitan Handicap—for which King of
Hearts was made faVourite, wits won by a comparative out-
sider—Plover, whom Mr. Bonnet bought at the sale of'Mr.
Morgan's horses a few weeks ago for 440 guineas. A few

FF.NTANISM AT LIVERPOOL.--In charging the
grand jury at the Livorpool assizes yesterday, Mr. Juaice
Smith said that though it might be suspected that the men
charged were connected with "the insane Fenian move-
ment which was now produeing so much trouble to the in-
habitants of Ireland," it was not necessary for the jury to
inquire into the purpose for which these men had taken
possession of the arms, because by the statute it was suffi-
cient evidence against them that they were found in posses-
sion of public arms and stores with the Government mark
upon them, and that they knew the arms wore such.
MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR IN* CAMBRIDGESIIIRE.—..
--Yesterday, at Linton, in Cambridgeshire, a man named
Charles Ellis was charged on suspicion of sending a box
of:combustibles to Ellis, his father, who lived
at Little Abingdon. The inmates of the farm opened the
box with caution, and thus prevented the catastrophe in-
tended. In the box was a pistol, which was pointed in
such a manner that it would explode by the aid of a piece
of string if the box had been opened in the ordinary
manner. It appeared that the accused entertained an ill-
feeling toward Mrs. Ellis, his mother-in-law, and some
letters ho had written to her husband were produced in
verification of this statement. lie was remanded.

State of Trade.

BELFAST, Dec. 11.—Flax—The great severity of
the weather latterly militated much against extent
of supplies in the various markets of the province.
Demand was not active, and prices generally were
lower. Rates ruling in Derry and Strabanespinner formed
an an exception, prices in these markets having rather
advanced. yarns—The trade continues Lobe greatly

brown—All descriptions of power-looms, with the
exception of roughs, printing lawns, and drills suit-
able for bleaching, are difficult of sale, and prices
rule in favour of buyers. Handloom goods are slow
of sale. This does not apply to linen handkerchiefs,
printing lawns, linens bleached and finished. Little
business doing on home or American account. Stocks
in our large warehouses are small ; prices have not
undergone any change.
NorrixonAm, 12th.—In hosiery the home trade
for winter goods isquiet, owing to the mildness of the
weather; but, in consequence of the firmness of the
cotton market at Liverpool, there is a more active
inquiry for spring goods. The foreign trade is quiet,
there is nothing of importance to note beyond the
tendency of yarns to advance in price. ;In lace ma-
nufacturers complain that the general trade is ex-
ceedingly quiet. There is a slight improvement in
the foreign business, in consequence of orders from
German buyers, who, however, buy cautiously.
After Christmas more activity is expected.

MEXICO.

PARIS, Dec. 13.

The llioniteur of this morning publishes the fol-
lowing telegram, from Mexico, dated 3rd inst., and
signed by Marshal Bazaine and General Castel-
nau

" The Emperor Maximilian is still in Mexico,
and has not yet come to any decision with respect
to his future movements.

" The evacuation of Mexico requiring to be com-
pleted by the month of March, it is urged that the
transports should arrive without delay.
" The mission of Minister. Campbell and General
Sherman arrived at Vera Cruz on the 29th Nov.,
and left that town'on the 3rd Dec. The members
of the mission appear to be animated by sentiments
of the most conciliatory character.

ITALY.

FLORENCE, Dec. 13.

A Royal decree has been published ordering the
railway works of the Victor Emmanuel Company
to be carried on by the State until the end of March,
1867, this company having declared its inability to
continue the works. The Government will expend
18 millon lire for the works, and will obtain this
amount by the issue on account of the company of
Consolidated Rentes and Treasury Bonds.
The payments to be made in cash to the Pontifical
Government will fall due on the 15th of March.
The funds have already been deposited in Paris.
The Opinione of to-day contradicts the rumour
that the mission of General Fleury refers to any
other matter than the Roman question, and that he
came to Florence to effect an understanding between
France and Italy, in view of certain foreign com-
plications. His mission, adds the Opinione, refers
solely to the Roman question.
The Italie of to-day says :—" All idea of the de-
parture of the Pope from Rome appears to have
been abandoned. The city of Rome is perfectly
tranquil."

HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C.
Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the
destitute, who otherwise would have hid to pass the
nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, chilarrln, and orphans
we, for want accommodation, refused admittance, audhave
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the
work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-
pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families
in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and
accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give
shelter to_the really homeless, and food to the really
starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome,
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf.
SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be
gratefully received by the Rev. D. GuaIEBT.D.D., No; 22,

ITALY.

FLORENCE, Dec. 13.

A Royal decree has been published ordering the
railway works of the Victor Emmanuel Company
to be carried on by the State until the end of March,
1867, this company having declared its inability to
continue the works. The Government will expend
18 millon lire for the works, and will obtain this
amount by the issue on account of the company of
Consolidated Rentes and Treasury Bonds.
The payments to be made in cash to the Pontifical
Government will fall due on the 15th of March.
The funds have already been deposited in Paris.
The Opinione of to-day contradicts the rumour
that the mission of General Fleury refers to any
other matter than the Roman question, and that he
came to Florence to effect an understanding between
France and Italy, in view of certain foreign com-
plications. His mission, adds the Opinione, refers
solely to the Roman question.
The Italie of to-day says :—" All idea of the de-
parture of the Pope from Rome appears to have
been abandoned. The city of Rome is perfectly
tranquil."

The premises, it appears, had been closed for some time, a
new tenant having taken it for the purpose of opening on
Saturday night next with a new stock for the Christmas
festivities. Men had boen employed for some weeks in
painting, redecorating, and embellishing the place prior to
the opening. The spirits, beer, and cordials had been laid
in. Fortunately all parties in the building escaped unhurt.
Shortly after the engines had been set to work the walls
were blown down amongst the firemen, who narrowly
escaped injury. Tho tavern and the whole of its contents
were totally destroyed. The origin of the fire is unknown.

MR. ADDERLEY, M.P., ON REFORM.

The Right Hon. C. B. Adderley, M.P., presided
at the annual dinner in connection with the Hanley
Cattle Show, at the Mechanics' Institution, Hanley,
on Tuesday evening. In responding to the toast of
"The County and Borough Members," Mr. Adderley
said be, as au humble under secretary, had no secrets
to reveal. He did not know what went on in her
Majesty's service, and although be was on
the most friendly terms with the chief of his depart-
ment, yet so faithful were the members of the
Cabinet to one another, and so loyal to her Majesty
that they did not reveal any secrets. With reference
to that subject which was now so prominently before
the country, the reform of the electoral body returning
members to represent the country in parliament, he
never concealed his most sincere desire for an effec- '
tive reform. He bad always stoutly maintained that
as the country advanced in intelligence, and as there
arose a large body who would be able to give an in-
telligent and independent vote, the electoral body
should be opened to receive all such citiz ens. But
he had also always maintained that there was a great
difference between opening the institutions of the

in St. James's Halt there was a meeting of the same
class of men, who took the earliest opportunity of
repudiating the violent expressions made use of on
that occasion, and of separating themselves from
connection with what they called the vapourings of
certain people who had attempted to represent, but
had misrepresented, them. He was glad to sec that
the same class of men formed themselves together
in Birmingham, calling themselves; Liberal Con -
servative operatives, and in doing so made use
of expressions which did credit to them and
to the country, as having been made by opera-
, tives, and which he believed were better representa-
tives of the feelings of the people of England than
the speeches at St. James's Hall. And if, as he be-
lieved, they were not prepared to upset the institu-
Lions of the country, they were not prepared to pay
personal compliments to the Queen at the expense
of the throne, or to make elective the higher cham-
ber of the Legislature, or to admit to the lower
chamber such a body as that which returned mem-
bers of Congress in America, and which had made

Mr. Tom Taylor on Art Education.

On Tuesday evening Mr. Tom Taylor delivered
an address at the Lhmbeth School of Art, on the
occasion of the annual distribution of gold and
silver medals, certificates, and prizes to the students.
The meeting was held at the school, Miller's-lane,
Upper Kennington-lane—the Rev. IL. Gregory,
chairman of the school, presiding. Two of the three
gold medals, given by the South Kensington Mu-
seum,
were awarded to Mr. Percival Ball, and the
third to Mr. E. F. Haynes. The two silver medals
were given to Miss E. Mason and Mr. W. Mar-
tin. The sketching prizes were awarded to Miss
E. Miles and Miss Grace Seabrook. After these
had been distributed by the chairman, who pre-
faced the distribution by a suitable speech, Mr.
Tom Taylor came forward and delivered an in-
teresting address to the students, selecting for
his subject the importance of cultivating, among
all classes of the people, a sense of beauty and a love
of art, In these times, more than in the days of
old, the lower classes were almost wholly deprived
of every opportunity of :art education, except such
as were specially put in their way. The growth of
London was so rapid that, if it were not for excur-
sion trains and the parks, the artisans of this huge
city might pass their whole lives without ever seeing
the green grass or smelling the sweet breath of the
country. The ugliness of our modern suburbs, the
sordidness of so many of the phases of the nineteenth
century life, the universal haste to be rich at any
cost of mental cultivation—these and other influ-
ences of the same description exercised a deteriorat-
ing effect upon the national life. Proof of this
might be found, if proof were needed, in the general
ignorance of art which was manifested in the work-
men's exhibitions that had recently been held
throughout the country. To remedy this was an
object of special importance in these times, when
politicians were agitating a reform question, and
everywhere there was the feeling that education was
the fittest preparation for the exercise of political
power. After some further illustration under this
head, the speaker concluded by pointing out that
the problem yet remained to be solved of how best
to reconcile central action and local independence,
and there was no better way of effecting this than
by the efforts of each separate school to show how
much they were capable of achieving by themselves,
as had been done in the present instance. Mr.
Potter, M.P., addressed a few words to the students,
after which various votes of thanks were proposed
and carried. It was mentioned in the course of the
evening that the design is on foot that this School
of Art should send some specimens to the French
Exhibition next year.

SEIZURE OP TIIE WAR STEAMER BOLIVAR.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—With the view of allaying any unnecessary
sensational excitement of the public mind as to the
Bolivar (just seized in the Medway) being " a
Fenian privateer," I desire to state that I fitted out
the vessel in question for the Government, of the
United States of Columbia. The national flag,
accidentally overlooked with a few other things in
sending down the stores which I supplied, was sub-
sequently taken from my warehouse by Capt. Little,
the steamer's duly commissioned commander, and
doubtless would have been hoisted on his arrival on
board, had not the vessel's seizure taken place in the
interim.

The stowing of shells beneath coals (constructed
into an act of concealment) is simply following the
usual practice of placing the heaviest portion of a
ship's freight at the bottom of her hold ; a course
which, in this instance, was even more necessary, as
the coals would have to be consumed on the Bolivar's
voyage out to Panama.—l am, &c.,

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a fair average supply of beasts on sale hero
to- day for Christmas consumption ; but the demand for all
breeds was in a most inactive state. Prime Scots, crosses,
ke., were held at Monday's currency, but inferior breeds
were quite 2d. per 81bs lower to sell. The show of sheep
was only moderate ; nevertheless, sales progressed slowly,
and prices had a drooping tendency. Th o extreme quota-
tion was 6s. 2d. per 81bs. In calves very little was pass-
ing on lower terms. Prieto small pigs were steady, but
large hogs were very dull at late rates.
