arrangements were of the most meagre character. It

National Artillery Association.

The annual prize meeting of the National Artil-
lery Association commenced yesterday at Shoebury-
ness. Over 800 men are located there. The growing
interest felt in the progress of the association may
be seen from the fact that there are detachments
present from Aberdeen, the Cinque Ports, Durham,
Essex, Hants, Kent, Kincardineshire, Lancashire,
Lincoln, Middlesex, Northumberland, Sheffield,
Shropshire, Surrey, Sussex, and the Tower Hamlets.
The detachments generally consist of ten men each,
but several counties have increased that number.
The Cinque Ports send eleven detachments, Shef-
field three, and many others a similar number.
The bell tents are ranged in long lines according
to military regulations, with five non-commis-
sioned officers and gunners to each tent. In the
case of officers a tent is occupied by two persons
only. The camp is under the command of Colonel
Fisher, R.A., directly appointed by the War-
office, and the Council have appointed Lieutenant
Colwell, of the Cinque Ports Artillery, to be bri-
gade-major; Captain M'Kown, camp adjutant;
Dr. A. B. De Lisle Allen, Ist iNliddlesex Artillery,
surgeon ; the Rev. Dr. Cross, chaplain ; and Cap-
tain Beveridge, 12th Kent Artillery, and Lieutenant
Starkey, 4th Cinque Ports Artillery, commissariat
officers. The prizes are named after the Houses of
Lords and Commons, the Duke of Cambridge's,
the Prince of Wales's, the Duke of Wellington's,
the Marquis of Hartington's, and Her Majesty's.
Other prizes will be given in the form of badges
by the association. The prizes will be distributed
by the Under Secretary of State for War. The
National Rifle Association have intimated their in-
tention of giving a prize of £5O. The targets were
moored out at sea, at 1,250 and 1,500 yards range,
each competing detachment to fire five rounds.
Nothing could be more unfavourable than the
tempestuous weather throughout the day, for the
rain poured down in such torrents that the tar-
gets at sea could with difficulty be seen. The
business of the day was confined to shooting for the
Lords and Commons' prize at 1,250 and 1,500
yards. There were about 500 competitors, but in
consequence of the late hour to which the firing
was prolonged the results must be deferred. O►ie
of the Brighton detachments made 28, the highest
on the list when the report was despatchlid.

SALISBURY AND DORSET JUNCTION.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the offices, Westminster Cham-
bers ; Mr. G. H. 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-
tion* 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 Railway now average £32 Der
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 dove-
! 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
deducting 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 aid the 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.

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, mid 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 payment 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 hav-
ing been let to responsible contractors, they bad 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.

THAMES.

ROBBLNIG A SAILOR.--Jacob Goodman, a young man, and
three women, named Macdonald, Byrne, and Parsons,
were brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing
a silver watch from William Cunningham, in a public-
house in Cable-street, Whitechapel.
Thi) prosecutor is the mate, of the ship Stork. Ho met
the prisoners in the public-house. The male prisoner struck
him a severe blow on the mouth, and screwed his watch
from the guard. It was handed to one of the female pri-
soners, who passed it to another. The prisoners left the
house, andefte prosecutor made au attempt to follow them,
and was prevented by the waiter, who hold him back. Tho
landlord said prosecutor owed 2s. for drink. A policeman
named George Barrow, No. 48 H, found the landlord try
ing to put all the parties out of his house. Cunningham
was under the influence of liquor, but knew what he was
about. The proseoutor complained of losing his watch
and a girl named Duuworth said one of the three female
piisoners had the watch. All the prisoners walked away.
Barrow stopped them, and Parsons took the watch from
her bosom and handed it to the constable. Parsons said
that Macdonald handed the watch to Byrne, and that
Byrne handed it to her The watch was dragged from
the chain with great force, and the bow was broken.
Mr. Partridge said the landlord of the Blakeney's Head
ought to have been in attendance to explain his conduct.
He discharged Macdonald, and committed the other pri-
soners for trial.

The dividend recommended by the directors of the
Great Western Railway is to be as follows for the
six months ending 31st July. On Great Western
Original Stock, at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum ;
ditto West Midland, Oxford, 17s. ditto ; West
Midland, Newport, 17s. ditto ; and ditio South

about £7,500 to be carried forward.

LOSTWITIIIEL 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 for
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.
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 (40k 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

MANSION HOUSE.

A CUSTOMER AND A THIEF.-John Rosenthal; a well-
dressed young man, was charged before Sir It Carden with
stealing two coats, value £3 10s., the property of 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
one 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
he 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 ho 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 toad
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. 64d. were found on, and it was stated that ho 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 roller, wine merchant, 88, Tower-hill

John Sand said that he was a wino and beer retailer at
Green-street, and dealt with Mr. Pollen Last March ho
paid the prisoner £5, for which he received a stamped
receipt for .Z 5 2s. 6d., the 2s. 6d. being discount. He dealt
with Mr. Polio; and had been in the habit of paying the
prisoner.

The prosecutor said that the prisoner had been in his
employ 'about four years. Ho 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. Ho did not account for the money
he had received from Mr. Stephenson, and last 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."
Ho then handed him six sovereigns, which he said he had
received the night before on account of the 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.
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 Norti.ern, 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.
