LONDON, TILBURY, AND SOUTHEND.

The directors of this company state that the re-
venue account furnished by the lessees showed that
the receipts for the half-year ending the 30th of
June last amounted to £25,387, and the expenses to
£17,972, leaving a balance of £7,415. The returns
of passengers, tolls, and proportions of goods' re-
ceipts derived by the Great Eastern and North
London Companies from the traffic of the line dur-
ing the half-year amounted to £11,320, which, added
to the £25,387, made the gross receipts for Tilbury,
traffic £36,707 for the half-year. The capital ac-
count showed that £794,744 had been expended,
leaving a balance of £456.

WARE, HADHAM, AND 13UNTINGFORD.
The directors in their report state they are far from
being satisfied with the accommodation afforded the
district by the manner in which the Great Eastern
Railway Company work the traffic. 'They contrasted
the facilities which the Great Northern Company
gave in the district for the development of traffic
with the disadvantages the Buntingford railway
laboured under in consequence of an inefficient mode
of working the traffic. Even the carriers upon the
public road from Royston, through Buntingford, to
London, were now carrying a great deal of the traffic
that ought to come by the Ware, Hadham, and Bun-
tingford Railway. The balance-sheet showed that
£123,008 had been expended. The traffic receipts
for the past half-year amounted to £2,579, against
£2,559 for the corresponding half of last year, show-
ing an increase of £2O.

by the Manchester,,Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Rail-
way Company, making together £68,152 which was
received from the latter company. The total expen-
diture on capital account was £3,111,578.

NORTH AND SOUTH-WESTERN JUNCTION.
The report states that the receipts for the half-
year ending the 30th of June last, after deduction
of working expenses, amounted to £5,761, against
£4,893 in the corresponding half of last year, show-
ing an increase of £B6B. During the half-year con-
siderable expense had been incurred in renewing

the bridge carrying the company's line over the
Great Western Railway, and also the bridge over
the Grand Junction Canal at Willesden. The gene-
ral result of the working was a disposable balance
of £2,716, from which the directors recommend a
dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, leav-
ing a balance of £6l. The capital account showed
that £114,869 had been expended, leaving a balance
of £2,031.

Rewards to a Lifeboat's Crew:

The Fiench Emperor has presented a first-rasa
gold medal and certificate to Mr.IN. Levett, cox-
swain of the St. Ives lifeboat, belonging to the N-
ational Lifeboat Institution, and a first-class alTer
medal and certificate to each of the crew, consisting
of eight men, of the lifeboat, in acknowledgment °f
their very noble and persevering services in saving'
at great risk of life, four men belonging to the brig
Providence, of Granville, France, which was woke"
last winter, during a fearful storm, on Hoyle Bart
Cornwall. When seen the sea was making a com-
plete breach over the wreck, and the crew were SIP:
posed to be in the rigging. The St. Ives lifeboat of
the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was at once
launched. In crossing the bar with the drogue 0r
drag bag in tow, which carried her safely over two
heavy surfs, a tremendous sea broke over her stern?
and the drogue-rope breaking from the immense
.
strain on it, she flew before the crest of the surf In
almost a perpendicular position, and running her
bow under water broached to and upset. She soon,
however, righted, and all her crew managed to get
on board. Two oars, grapnel, anchor, and rope were
lost, and two crutches broken. Although rowing four
oars only, the crew persevered, and contrived to get
her under the lee of the vessel, which was the French
brig Providence, bound from Cardiff for Dieppe with
coal. With a heavy sea and strong under current, hole
ever, the lifeboat's crew found it impossible to get
alongside. Nearly an hour passed in signalling to
the French crew to send a rope by means of a spar
or raft, and when this at last was done, the CO'
swain signalled to haul on board the life-buolo
tending to take the men off through the water, he"
he could not make himself understood. Two of the
crew now endeavoured to reach the lifeboat by means
of the connecting rope ; one was being dragged on
board, and the other was within four or five yards'
when a fearful sea broke on the broadside of the
boat and upset her a second time. She righted in'
stantly, but the poor fellow who was on the rope
lost his hold and was never seen again. The other
held fast to the boat, and the crew once more got
into her without accident. The communication loth,
the vessel had not been broken, and the lifeboab
again hauled up as near as possible to her. The cap'
taro and the remaining two men then took to their
boat, when the second wave capsized them. Through
a fearful sea the lifeboat was hastily hauled ahead'
and the three men were most fortunately picked up.
The crew of the lifeboat landed at Hayle thoroughly
exhausted. A more heroic service was perhaps never
rendered by any boat. In admiration of it a lee'j
contribution was raised to present a suitable acknoW"
ledgement of their bravery and endurance to the
lifeboat's crew in addition to the rewards of the
Lifeboat Institution, consisting of a silver medal
and £2 to the coxswain, and a beautiful illuminate',
testimonial and £2 to each man of his brave Crtili•

SHAMEFUL ROBBERY.—Mary Graydon, aged 30, and
Elizabeth Stewart, 26, of 40, Devonshire-street, St.
George's-in-the-East, were brought before Mr. Partridge
charged with being concerned with another woman not in
custody in stealing a purse containing £l7 10s. from the
person of Robert Gill, mato of a ship, and residing at No.
12, Norfolk-place, Stoke Newington.
On Friday, the 3rd of the present month, the prosecutor
,met the prisoners in the Minories, and they induced him
to accompany them to an infamous place, No. 17,
Devonshire-street, where they managed to hocuss him
with some narcotic drug, infused in his liquor, and
robbed him of his purse, containing £l7 10s. in
gold And some silver. When he recovered his senses

dropped a handkerchief. It was picked up by a man

Rewards to a Lifebo:►t's Crew.

The French Emperor has presented a first-class
gold medal and certificate •to MAN. Levett, cox-
swain of the St. Ives lifeboat, belonging to the N-
ational Lifeboat Institution, and a first-class silver
medal and certificate to each of the crew, consisting
of eight men, of the lifeboat, in acknowledgment °
their very noble and persevering services in saving'
at great risk of life, four men belonging to the brg
Providence, of Granville, France, which was wrecked
last winter, during a fearful storm, on Hayle Bar,
Cornwall. When seen the sea was making a com-
plete breach over the wreck, and the crew were sup:
posed to be in the rigging. The St. Ives lifeboat °I
the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was at once
launched. In crossing the bar with the drogue or
drag bag in tow, which carried her safely over two
heavy surfs, a tremendous sea broke over her stern,
and the drogue-rope breaking from the immense
i
strain on it, she flew before the crest of the surf n
almost a perpendicular position, and running bet
bow under water broached to and upset. She soon,
however, righted, and all her crew managed to get
on board. Two oars, grapnel, anchor, and rope were
lost, and two crutcheg broken. Although rowing four
oars only, the crew persevered, mid contrived to get
her under the lee of the vessel, which was the French
brig Providence, bound from Cardiff for Dieppe with
coal. With a heavy sea and strong under current, hew'
ever, the lifeboat's crew found it impossible to get
alongside. Nearly an hour passed in signalling t°
the French crew to send a rope by means of a sPar
or raft, and when this at last was done, the COV
swain signalled to haul on board the life-buoy,
tending to take the men off through the water, but
he could not make himself understood. Two of the
crew now endeavoured to reach the lifeboat by means
of the connecting rope ; one was being dragged clel
board, and the other was within four or five yards'
when a fearful sea broke on the broadside of the
boat and upset her a second time. She righted in-
stantly, but the poor fellow who was on the rope
lost his hold and was never seen again. The other
held fast to the boat, and the crew once more got
into her without accident. The communication wit',
the vessel had not been broken, and the lifeboat
again hauled up as near as possible to her. The OP:
tam and the remaining two men then took to Oath
boat, when the secondwave capsized them. Throng
a fearful sea the lifeboat was hastily hauled ailead '
and the three men were most fortunately picked .
The crew of the lifeboat landed at Hayle thoroughll
exhausted. A more heroic service was perhaps nev_ier
rendered by any boat. In admiration of it a I°7
contribution was raised to present a suitable acknO
ledgement of their bravery and endurance to the
lifeboat's crew in addition to the rewards of 01
Lifeboat Institution, consisting of a silver medal
and £2 to the coxswain, and a beautiful illuminated
testimonial and £2 to each man of his brave crew.

SwimErta, ROBBERY.—Mary Graydon, aged 30, and
Elizabeth Stewart, 26, of 40, Devonshire-street, St.
George's-in-the-East, were brought before Mr. Partridge
charged with being concerned with another woman not in
custody in stealing a purse containing £l7 lfis. from the
person of Robert Gill, mate of a ship, and residing at No.
12, Norfolk-place, Stoke Newington.
On Friday, the 3rd of the present month, the prosecutor
met the prisoners in the Minories, and they induced him
to ' accompany them to an infamous place, No. 17,
Devonshire-street, where they managed to hocuss him
with some narcotic drug, infused in his liquor, and
robbed him of his purse, containing £l7 10s. in
gold and some silver. When ho recovered his senses
and missed his purse from his coatpocket, Stewart
was alone in the room, and ho said, referring to Graydon,
that girl has got my purse. She said "No, it can't be," and
pretended to look about the room for it. He went out to
look for a police constable, and, on his return, Stewart
was gone. There was a girl in the room lighting the fire
before the seaman was hocussed and robbed, and she was
also missing. The prisoners were subsequently taken into
custody. On the way to the station-house Graydon

named Gattiff. It contained four sovereigns. The pri-
soners had been spending a good deal of money, and

Mr. Partridge conunitted the prisoners for trial.

Metropolitan Railways.

Though in this country the battle of the gauges
was fought to the death, in the sister island it re-
sulted in the adoption of a medium width, which
has been found to answer well, and is generally known
as the Irish gauge. The less fierce dispute about the
comparative merits of the inner and the outer circles
as systems of railway communication between the
various points of the metropolis appears to have re-
sulted in a compromise the advantages of which will
be experienced extensively in another year or two.
At the present time the Metropolitan Railway, better
known as " the Underground," commencing at
Bishop's-road, Paddington, and running under the
Marylebone-road, and so on to King's-cross, passes
by Bagnigge Wells-road to Farringdon-street, and
under Old Smithfield to Aldgate and Moorgate-
streets, thus forming an irregular half-circle within
the town. It is now proposed, by extensions at either
end of the underground line, and by a new line, to
be called the " Metropolitan District Railway," to
complete what will form pretty nearly an inner circle,
but will also throw outbranches to connect itself with
the suburban systems north and south of the Thames
—so that when the entire scheme is in working order
we shall have something like a combination of the
two circles—the inner and the outer—as a thorough
system for the metropolis. In a westerly direction
the Metropolitan Railway is to be extended through
Bayswater and Notting-hill, to
Paddington, or by
Kensington and Brornptbn. At both these latter
points it will join the Metropolitan District line,
which, becoming a continuation of the extension at a
spot near the Horticultural Society's gardens and
Cromwell-road, will pass through Pimlico, along tho
worst part of Westminster, in a direction parallel
with Victoria-street, under the roadway between
Westminster Hospital and the Abbey, through the
and by Earl-street to Can-
Thames Embankment,
non-street, and in that direction to the Tower, where
it will connect itself with the eastern extension of
the existing underground line. This extension,
commencing from Moorgate-street, will pass by
Finsbury-circus, and on through Aldgate, and so
round to the point of contact with the Metro-
politan District line. The Act authorising the con-
struction of the District Company's works was ob-
tained in 1864, but the company was not completely
organised till February in last year. A special
clause was inserted in the Act, requiring that six
months' notice should be given before the compul-
sory powers for obtaining land could be exercised,
and this, of course, delayed to some extent the ope-
rations of the engineers and the contractors. But a
very considerable portion of the ground required
between Westminster
and Kensington has been pur-
chased ; and though little has been heard about the
undertaking since it received a Parliamentary sanc-
tion, 2,00 Q men, 200 horses, and u 8 engines have for

Champ-d'Oisel,and B3os (Seine-Infdricure). At the request
of the inhabitants, Count Lecoulteux de Canteleu, head of
the association in the department for destroying noxious
animals, immediatelyorganised two hunts, in which a great
many persons took part. In the first, two wolves were
killed ; and in the second several of those animals were
attacked without success. It is supposed that there are
about ten of' them in the wools, and it is expected that
another battue will shortly be arranged.

WANTON MiscHiEr.—WilliamParr, described as a stable-
man, without any
home, was charged before Mr. Knox
with wilfully smashing a large pane of gloss in the shop
window of Mr. William Higgs, chemist, No. 35, Piccadilly.
Mr. Higgs said last night, about nine o'clock, I was in
my parlour, and, hearing a crash of glass, went out, and
saw the prisoner standing 1n frout of my shop. The priso-
ner stepped up to me and calmly said, " I'm the man who
did it. I wish to be given! in charge." I sent for a con-
stable and gave the prisoner in charge. •
Mr. Knox What is the value of the glass ?
Mr. Higgs —Three pounds.
Mr. Knox--Are you insured ?
Mr. Higgs —I am not.

Police-constable Lethbridge, 58 C—On going to Mr.
Higgs's shop, and asking the prisoner why he had broken
the window, he said that he could not get a night's lodging,
So he broke the window to get one. The prisoner had been
to the Vine-street station to get an order for the work-
house, but they were all gone, and the prisoner left saying
he was determined to have a lodging, and went into Jer-
myn-street, and having provided himself with a piece of
brick went back and broke the window.
Prisoner—l've no questions to ask. I did it to get a
lodging for the night.
Mr. Knox—lf that was your object you might have
broken a smaller window at any rate. The unfortunate
gentleman (➢Zr. Higgs) never did you any harm. It is a
wanton and atrocious piece of mischief, and I shall send
you for the full term of two months with hard labour.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25.171 per 41 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about the same price in London and Paris.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 161 per cent.. and the price cf ,gold
1461 per cent. At these rates there is little or no profit on
the importation of gold from the Unite.' States.

THAMES.

JUTEXILE ;CRIME.-Philip Smith, aged 16, William
Shute, 16, Henry Chi Hick, 13, and Edwin Slade (better
known as Blind Boss), 19, were brought up on remand,
charged with stealing a quantity of lead piping from an
unoccupied house in Stepney, belonging to Mr. Pollard, a
baker.

It appeared that the prisoners had been several times to
the house, and stolen the supply pipe, 12 feet in length, a
brass tap and a ball, the value of the-NJ:Ole of whiCh was
£5. Thera were the confessions of the prisoners, and the
statement of a lad named Joseph Wills, a particeps crintinis,
that they had stolen the lead. A woman, named Ellen Jane
Clarke, of 1, Richmond-place, Stepney, calling herself a
marine store dealer, but who appeared to deal in everything
except marine stores, had bought 71bs. of the stolen
load of Chittick and Smith for lld„ which was below its
real value. Three of the prisoners are the sons of decent,
hard-working people ; but the fouth, "Blind Boss," as he
was called, had been twice convicted for uttering base coin.
William Robinson, a police-constable, 666 A, said when
he took Chittick into custody, and told him the charge, lie
said: —" Yes, I was in it ; there is more connected with it,
and we sold it to Mrs. Clarke, across the ruins. A man
called Blind Boss waited outside while wo went into the
house and got the lead. Blind Boss said, They won't buy
it in a lump, take it into my house and' break it up.' We
went to Boss's house with Smith, where the lead was
beaten up. We afterwards sold it to Mrs. Clarke, and
shared the money."
The prisoners wore committed for trial.
