The well-known cricketer George Anderson had
the misfortune to be robbed last week, on his return from
Kendal, of all his Australian presents and other valuables,
which were in his portmanteau.

London and North-Western Railway.

(MEETING THIS DAY.)

The ordinary half-yearly meeting of this company
was held to-day at the Euston-station Terminus ;
Mr. Richard Moon, the chairman, presiding.
The report awl statement, which have been pub-
lished, were taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving their adoption, said
that he trusted, on the whole, the shareholders
would be satisfied with the result as developed
in the report. It must be remembered that the rail-
way interest had to contend with very adverse cir-
cumstances during the past half year in respect to
the depressed state of the money market and in-
crease of wages, and, what affected this company
specially, the state of the iron trade. Their traffic
had increased, and the expenses had also consider-
ably increased, even to the extent of lid. per mile
per train. That increase had taken place notwith-
standing that every effort on the part of the ma-
nagement had been made to keep it down consis-
tently with the efficiency of the working -of the
company's line. There was nothing peculiar
in the increase of the expenses of this
company, for it was common to all the
railways throughout the United Kingdom. The
results of the past half-year enabled the directors to
declare a dividend of 6 per cent. per annum for the
past half-year. £15,000 has been carried to the
reserve fund for the past half-year, while on the
preceding half-year the amount had been deducted
from that fund. He then proceeded to contrast the
financial position of tke company with other corres-
ponding periods, and drew a favourable inference as
to the progressive prosperity of the company. (Hear,
hear.) The increase in the expenses to which he
alluded were general, and as regarded the perma-
nent way £40,000 had been expended during the
last five years on that item of their outlay. Out of
60 miles, the rails of which had been constructed of
steel, the cost of 28 miles necessarily came out of the
revenue account. They had also to contend with
an expense of £15,000 arising from the rate on the
importation of cattle in consequence of the cattle
disease, which was a new charge on their funds.

The motion was seconded.
Mr. MORGAN, a shareholder, complained of the
practice which had been adopted by successive
directors of keeping up the dividend at a fixed rate,
instead of allowing it to be regulated by the profits
on the income derived from the profits of the half-
year, which would be the most straightforward
course, and which would enable the shareholders to
know the real value of their stock. He expressed
his approval of the course adopted in Parliament by
Lord Redesdale in attempting to oppose a check to
the joint-stock companies applying to Parliament for
sanction when they had not the probability of bring-
ing their schemes to a successful issue. He ex-
pressed himself satisfied with the statement of the
chairman and the report submitted to the meeting.

The CHAIRMAN said that the accounts of the
company were kept in the most satisfactory manner,
and, with reference to the £15,000 taken from the
reserve fund last year, it was rendered necessary for
a special purpose. A larger amount of receipts
froni the English and Scotch traffic had been rea-
lised than was originally expected. He stated (in
reply to another shareholder) that it was necessary
for the efficient working of the company to keep a
large stock of stores always on hand, but the ex-
pense arising from that item had been kept as low
as possible.
The motion was then agreed to.
On the motion for the payment of a dividend at
the rate of 6 per cent. per annum,

Mr. FIELDING strongly objected to the share-
holders, who were Dissenters, being called on to
contribute to the building of a Church of England
chapel at Crewe.
The Cumin!AN...deprecated anything like a re-
ligious element being imported into the proceedings.
(Hear, hear, and laughter.) The management
considered that they were justified in having a place
of worship at Crewe, and as the members of the.
Church of England formed the majority of the
country, they thought it only right that the chapel
should be for the members of that denomination.

The motion was agreed to without further dis-
cussion.

The meeting was then made special for the pur-
pose of creating new capital, the amount of
£447,910 in pursuance of the London and North
Western Railway (New Works and Additional
Powers) Act, 1865, for the construction of diffe-
rent branch railways, and other works connected
with the company.

Rssolutions sanctioning the proposed creation of
capital and other objects were agreed to.

The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks
to the Chairman and Board of Directors.

LORD DERBY► who has been in office barely six
weeks (says Public Opinion), has had the nomimations to
four judgeships, a bishopric, two garters, and two lord-
lieutenancies, while he has
.created six peers, three
baronets, and a dozen privy councillors.
THE EPISCOPAL PALACE AT MAYFIELD.—The
Palace at Mayfield, which has been visited by the members
of tho British Archaeological Association, has been restored
by Mr. Pugin within the last few years at a cost of £4,000.
The "mitre fouled of roses," which Sussex people have
so thoroughly believed in, is stated by Mr. Pugin to be
" simply the panel at the back of what was the principal
seat in the hall, and which is diapered with floriated
pateras."

NEW COMEDY.—A new comedy, which in literary
merit is far above the average of new pieces, was produced
with groat success at the Prince of Wales Theatre, Liver-
pool, by Miss Marie Wilton's London company, last night.
The comedy is from the pen of Mr. T. W. Robertson, the
author of " Society" and " David Garrick," and is a con-
firmation of the high anticipations formed some time ago
of that gentleman's dramatic abilities.
LAVENDER WATER.—The lavender crop of this
season is unusually fine. At Hitchin, in Hertfordshire, on
the well-known lavender farm of Mr. Perks, the plants aro
of unusual size and fragrance. Such fine heads have not
been seen in England for many years, and the weather has
permitted the flcwers to be collected fresh and with their
bloom upon them, the conditions on which the goodness of
the lavender water of any season depends.
MURDER IN BIRMINGHAM. —A shocking murder
was perpetrated in Hurst-street, Birmingham, yes-
terday morning, by William Smith, one of the scene shif-
ters at Day's Concert-hall. The deceased Elizabeth Smith
resided with her husband, and they had for a lodger a
young woman named Catherine Bradworth, fog signal
maker. There appears to have been some misunderstand-
ing between deceased and her husband for some time past,
and on the latter returning home on Wednesday evening
about 12 o'clock some words ensued, which resulted in a
quarrel, when the husband took out a knife, and attacking
his wife furiously, attempted to strike her. She escaped
from him out of the house, but he overtook her in the
yard, and cut her throat in a frightful manner. Catherine
Bradworth, who witnessed the commencement of the
quarrel, followed them out to interpose between the wife
and husband, and in the encounter received a severe gash
across the left eye. An alarm was raised, and Inspector
Spear, with one or two officers, were promptly on the spot.
.Bradwortla was taken to the Queen's Hospital by a man
who was passing at the time, and her wounds were
promptly attended to by the house surgeons. While the
medical officers were attending to her, the body of the
murdered woman was taken to the Queen's Hospital byAat
policeman. The murderer was taken into custody.
the station ho said he had no knowledge of the transaction.
A purse, amongst othoi things, was found on the bntd3l;aosf
the deceased, but it was so filled with blood tc~utuined9
scarcely possible to decipher the tickettisanfgerolt7ate.
