ROYAL MAIL STEAM PACKET COMPANY.

MEETING—(THIS DAY.)
The ordinary half-yearly meeting of this company took
place this day at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street.
The report of the directors states that] the important
item of coals exhibited in the working account for the half'
year a diminution as compared with the corresponding
period of 1858 of £13,381, This was mainly due to the re-
duced rates of frieght current at the time the coals during
the half-year were sent abroad. The items of wages, Pro"
visions, stores, and port charges showed a decrease in the,
aggregate of £16,117. On the other hand, "general servicey'-
and stations' and ' salaries' exhibited an apparent
crease, those items no longer being reduced by the proper'
tion charged last year to the Australian service. The credit
side of the account showed an increase in passage-money
amounting to £11,086, while the receipts for freight bad
fallen off to the extent of £3,500. This arose from the
nished homeward shipments of specie from Mexico and the
South Pacific States, owing partly, no doubt, to the die'
turbed condition of those countries. Two of the companY!
new Atlantic ships had been completed and despatched
with mails to the West Indies, and their performances in
point of speed had been satisfactory. The disaster, hoc*
ever, which had befallen one of them, the Parramatta, Wee
already a matter of notoriety, and would be deeply felt by
the shareholders, as well as by all concerned in the cool'
pang's welfare. After the great amount of trouble taken
to insure the production of a class of ships that should
prove superior to all others yet -employed in the service,
and sparing no expense necessary for the attainment of
that object, the loss of this splendid vessel on her first voyage
had caused extreme mortification to the directors. Looking
at the loss of the Parramatta (for scarcely any hope W 0
now entertained of her recovery), it might be regarded ae
a fortunate circumstance for the company that they Were,
compelled to retain (in diminution of the European and
Australian Company's debt), the Tasmanian, when she Nvtle
recently offered on sale, and it was satisfactory to the dire"
tors also to state that the performances of that chip, when
recently employed on the Brazil line, were such as to en-
courage the belief that she would prove an efficient substi.
tute for the Parramatta, on the West India Atlantic route,
upon which she was now engaged. The principle of super-
heating steam had been -applied in some of the company's
ships, but sufficient experience had not yet been gained to
determine, with anything like accuracy what the value of it
might be. Expectations, howevr, were entertained that
eventually the principle might be so applied as to effect a
considerable saving in fuel, the cost of which formed 00
important an item in the company's expenditure. Tile
Australian service undertaken by this company had termi-
nated with the delivery at Sydney, in May last, of the
mails despatched from England in February, and the
Oneida, which carried forward those mails from Sue*
arrived in England on the 6th of last month, bringing honle
a fair number of passengers, including the company's
superintendent at Sydney. The directors were not yet abl°
to furnish to the shareholders any statements showing the.
final result of working the Australian service, as several
matters still remained unsettled, but no time would bo lost
in submitting to her Majesty's Government the company's
claim for the additional £6,000 per month payable upon
proof that the cost of working that service had exceeded to
that extent the receipts from other sources. In conclw
sion, the directors recommended that a dividend of
per share be declared, payable on the 31st instant, the
warrants for which were to be issued on the 29th instant.,
The working account for the half-year ending the 30th 01
June last showed that £382,802 had been receiv3d, induct'
ing £14996 from the Government contract, and £250,220i
expended, leaving a surplus of £132,582. The repair and
a
renewal fund showed a balance to be provided for 01
£20,C93, and the general reserve fund a balance of £33,5°
to be provided for. The insurance account showed a balance
in favour of the company of £224,380, subject to loss of the
Paramatta. The company's fleet consisted of 24 ships, °
an aggregate tonnage of 45,211 tons and 11,730-110r5e
power ; in addition to which the Seine (iron), of 3,092 tone,
builder's measurement, and 300-horse rower was building*
The report was adopted.

General Sir De Lacy and Lady Evang, and General
Sir James and Lady Chatterton, are prolonging their stay
at the Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone.
Sir Benjamin and Lady Brodie have left the,
Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone, after a stay of three weeks; f°l.

(Before the Recorder.)
STEALING COPTIN PLATES, &C.

Alfred Grantham, 17, labourer; Charles Grantham, jun.,
19; Francis Edenborough, 21; Wm. Bland, 32; and Chas.
Grantham, sen., 47, were indicted for stealing 28 brass and
lead coffin plates, and about 2 cwt. of lead, the property of
the churchwardens of the parish of Paddington ; and
Thomas Mead was also indicted for, feloniously receiv-
ing the same, well knowing it to have been stolen.
The facts of the case have already appeared in The Sun
during the time the prisoners were under examination at
Marylebone police court.
The jury had not returned their verdict when we went tc
press.

UTTERING COUNTERFEIT COIN.

Nugent, 35; labourer, was found guilty of un-
lawfully uttering counterfeit coin, well knowing the
same, &c.

The Common Sergeant said, in passing sentence, that it
was well for the prisoner that he was unknown to the
police and the 'prison authorities, or he would most cer-
tainly have received a much more severe sentence than
he intended to pass upon him. The jury had found him
guilty of misdemeanour only, but in the event of his re-
peating the offence, it would then become a felony, for
which he would become liable to penal servitude for a long
term of years, and such a sentence he would most assuredly
receive, as the judgei had fully made up their minds to
sentence all prisoners found guilty a second time of utter-
ing to penal servitude for a number of years. The learned
gentleman then sentenced him to be imprisoned for nine
months with hard labour.

CHARGE OF ASSAULT AND. ROBBERY BY A SOLDIER.--.
REFU SAL OF THE SERGEANT TO ANSWER THE MAGIS-
TRATE'S QUESTIONS.—Thomas Rilet, a private of the
Scots Fusilier Guards, was charged before Mr. Beadon as
follows :

Charles Goldstre, errand boy to Mr. Heath, hatter, and
living at 4, Kemerton-place North, Belgrave-square, said
that on the previous night he had just entered Hyde Park
from Grosvenor-square when the soldier met him, and
having said something about lights, began crushing some
hats he had in boxes, it being his custom to take them
home with him and take them back the next morning, in-
stead of returning the same night. He called out " Mur-
der 1" telling the soldiEr he was breaking his hats, when
he replied, " I'll break your —neck," and immediately
seized a bundle he had in his handand struck him on the
head with it, kicked him, and then ran off with it towards
the magazine, saying, " Now, I'm after some one else."
Prisoner said some boys had annoyed him with lights in
the fog ; but this was denied by the boy, who said there
was no others present, and by John Brooke,* a young man,
living at 26, Henrietta—square, Cavendish •square, who
also proved seeing the soldier strike and kick the boy and
run off with the bundle, saying that he would " break his
neck" before doing so. •

Dobell, 189 A, proved taking the prisoner into custody
and that he was not affected by drink.

Mr. Beadon (to the prisoner's sergeant)—How long has
the prisoner been in the regiment ?
Sergeant—Four or five years. He has never been in
civil power before, nor in any police court, and only had
trifling charges before the military authorities.

A DOMESTIC T YRINT.—John Fowler, a tall, determined-
looking man, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with
beating his wife Maria, a little care-worn looking woman.
The complainant waited upon Mr. Selfe yesterday after-
noon, and said she had been grievously assaulted by her
husband, and was in danger of her life. The magistrate, on
hearing that she had been wounded, ordered that her hus-
band should be taken into custody without the formality of
a warrant, and he was arrested this morning. The com-
plainant now stated that she lived with her husband, who
was a hammerman, at No. 10, Brickhill-terrace, Crisp-
street, Poplar. He left home at 10 o'clock on Sunday
morning, and did not return until four in the afternoon,
three hours after dinner time. He •said, "Did you
not think I was lost ?" To which she replied that she did
not think anything about it, and, being very unwell, laid
down on her bed, but not before she had placed her hus-
band's dinner before him. Directly afterwards, he rose from
his seat in a great passion, and dragged her off the bed by
the hair of her head. He said to her, " What do you
mean by this ?—you have got the sulks upon you ;" and
used very bad language. He struck her with his fist, and
threw a pepper-box at her. He then took up a knife and
made a blow at her, and in parrying the blow her hand was
severely cut. She was about to leave the room when her
husband threw a fork at her, and said' he would kill her.
In answer to questions by Mr. Selfe, the witness said
her husband had often beaten her. She left him in
March, 1858, in consequence of his bad treatment, but
owing to his fair promises was induced to return to him.
She had no children by her present husband, but she had
children by her first husband,
Emma Andrews, landlady of the house in which the par •
ties have been lodging, confirmed the statement of Mrs.
Fowler, and said that her hand was bleeding profusely
when she escaped from her husband. -
The prisoner, in defence, said he was three parts tipsy on
Sunday, and had a word or two with his wife, and pulled
her off the bed.

Mr. Selfe—Yes, by the hair of the head. You aro a
great brute, and have behaved very ill to that woman. I
sentence you to six weeks' imprisenment and hard labour.
