WELLS AND FAKENHAM.

On Wednesday the half-yearly meeting of this com-
pany took place at 69, Lombard-street; Mr. Southgate
in the obair.

The balance-sheet, to the 31st of Dec., 1856, showed
that the receipts amounted to 61,0951., and the expendi-
ture to 60,0251., leaving a balance of 1,0701.
This statement having been adopted,
A Proprietor requested some information as to the
condition of the line.

The Chairman stated that the line might be consi-
dered complete with the exception of a portion of the
permanent rails. All the bridges were finished. They
were now waiting for material to complete the perma-
nent way, but he had no doubt the line would be ready
for traffic in the month of May next. He was quite sure
it would be considered one of the best lines in the king-
dom, having cost only 9,000/. a mile.
The meeting then separated.

DISCOVERY OF GUANO.

The Lord POLWARTII moved for any papers or
correspondence relative to the cession of the islands of
Ear ki Jibleea and Glsurzoad by the Imaum of Muscat
to Ler Majesty, and their erection into a colony ; and
also called the attention of the house to a license granted
on the 20th of February, 1856, by the Commissioners of
Emigration to John Ord and others, giving them the
sole and exclusive right to raise and take away guano
front these islands during five years.

Tae Earl of CLARENDON said there would be no
objection to the production of the papers moved for.
Her Majesty's Government were anxious to lay the
fullest information they possessed on the subject on the
table, as they were of the same opinion as the agricul-
tural interest as to the importance of the subject. He
- had had various communications with agricul
tura I societies respecting an inquiry as to
the different islands on which guano was deposited.
Ile (Lord Clarendon) had communicated on this
subject with the Lords of the Admiralty, and it was de-
termined that an inquiry should be instituted to discover
to whom the islands referred to really belonged,
with a view to obtain a cession of them, if the report of
Mr. Ord was justified by facts. Capt. Freemantle went
out on this mission by direction of the Government.
He first sought the Imaum of Muscat, who, however,
was absent from the place when Captain Freemantle
landed, but he could not find guano there. The inhabitants
of the place told him they were subjects of the Imaum
of Muscat, and produced a document, signed by that
potentate, ordering them to treat with kindness all
persons who might land there. As Capt. Fremantle
was about to return he met the Imaum, who never ex-
pressed the slightest doubt as to his rights over the
island. Capt. Fremantle having discovered guano in a
drift rent part of the place, returned home and reported
it was inferior in quality, and that this island was not
an much of importance in respect to guano as a coaling
station. Some months after Mr. Ord stated that he had
disc vered fresh deposits of guano, which, although not
as good as that of Peru, still it was of considerable value
and he intended to sendj. ships there himself if a lease
were granted him for four or five years, the Imaum of
Mercat having ceded the place to the British Govern-
rner t. As Mr. Ord was the discoverer, Government
granted him a lease—hut they did not by grant-
ing him that lease intend to create a monopoly,
Mr, Ord being perfectly ready to give a guarantee that
immediately on the arrival of each cargo, they should be
aubruitted to public auction in quantities to suit the con-
venience of every person.
After a short conversation the returns were ordered.

DEATH OF THE EARL OF HAREWOOD

It is with deep regret that we record the death of
the Earl of Harewood, who expired yesterday morning,
at 2 a.m., at Harewood House, the family seat, near
Leeds, death resulting from the injuries his lordship
sustained from the accident he met with while out hunt-
ing on the 24th ult. It is only a week since the sur-
geons announced that, on account of the improvement
in the state of their noble patient, no more bulletins
would be iseued ; but on Thursday last a relapse took
place, and on Friday the first bulletin of a renewed
series reported that his lordship was in a very precari-
ous state. No improvement seemed for a moment pro-
bable. His lordship expired surrounded by all the
members of his family.
The deceased. Henry Lascelles, Earl of Harewood,
Viscount Lascellee, and Baron Harewood, of Harewood,
county of York, in the peerage of the United Kingdom,
was second son of Henry, second earl, by Henrietta,
eldest daughter of the late Sir Jno. Saunders Sebright,
Bart., and was horn 11th Jane, 1797. His elder
brother, George, died in Bohemia a few years before the
dissolution of his father. The deceased succeeded to the
earldom and large landed estates on the death of the
venerable peer in 1841. His lordship married s[ll July,
1823, Lady Louisa Thynne, second daughter of Thomas,
exind Marquis of Bath, by whom he leaves a numerous
family—his eldest son Henry Viscount Lascelles, born
18th June, 1824, succeeding to the family honour,.
The late earl was lord-lieutenant of the West Riding
of Yorkshire, an honour previously held by his father.
He was formerly in the army, and was present with his
regiment, the Ist Foot, or Grenadier Guards, at the
battle of Waterloo, being at that time one of the junior
ensigns in that corps. He afterwards retired from the
army, and for several Parliaments prior to the passing
of the Reform Bill represented Northallerton in the
House of Commons.
By the melancholy demise of the earl the families of
the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, the Earl and Coun-
tess of Sheffield, Lord and Lady Portman, Lord and
Lady Wharncliffe, Lady Caroline Lascelles, the Earl of
Morton, the Marquis of Batb, the Earl and Countess
Cawdor, Mr. and Lady Louisa Mills, &c., are placed in
mourning.

The Marchioness de la Rochejaquelin, authoress of the
famous memoirs on the civil war in La Vend(Se, which
are not only a standard work in France, but have been
translated into every language in Europe, has just died
at an advanced age.

ROUSE OF LORDS—(This Evening.)

' The Earl of EGLINTON presented a petition from
Ayrshire praying for the imposition of restriction upon
dram shops.
DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES DILL.

Lord LYNDHURST said this bill was fixed for the
second reading on Thursday next. He, however hoped
the', as it would be inconvenient for him to attend on
that day, another night would be fixed when he could be
in his place. A right rev. prelate who took a great inte-
rest in the bill would aho be unable to attend on
Thursday.
Lord CAMPBELL said he was desirous of taking
part in the discussion on this bill. Although
he was unwilling to oppose the second reading of the
bill. yet it contained a certain clause to which he had
a great objection, and if paised would furnish dangerous
faci'ities for obtaining a divorce between mail and wife
merely from the circumstance of their living apart for a
certain limited period.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he should have no
objection to alter the day for the second reading of the
bill. He would name Friday next.
Lord LYNDHURST said it would be desirable to
postpone it till next week.
The LORD CHANCELLOR then fixed Tuesday
week as the day on which he would move the second
reading.

NORTH LONDON.

The report of the directors states that there has been
an increase in the receipts of 6,6481., and a diminution
in the working expenses of 2461,, as compared with the
corresponding period of 1855. After deducting all out-
goings and interest on the debenture debt, the net ba-
lance amounts to 23,3591., being sufficient to pay a divi-
dend at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum for the half-
year ending Dec. 31, and leave 7881. to be carried for-
ward. The net balance at the corresponding period of
1855 was 18,1551., the dividend at the rate of 4 per cent.,
and the balance amounted to 148/. The stock and share
ledgers were found to be perfectly correct. The receipts
fcr the half-year amounted to 64,3301., and the expenses
to 33,7901., leaving a balance of 30,5401. The expendi-
ture on capital account amounted to 1,320,250/.

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Friday at the Euston station ; Sir H. Verney in the
chair. The resort stated that the traffic of the line con-
tinued to increase, and that, after the payment of the 4
per cent. dividend guaranteed by the London and North-
Western, there remained a balance of 6041. The report
vsas adopted; and the retiring directors were re-elected.

BRISTOL AND EXETER.
The report of the directors states that the gross traffic
receipts from July 1 to Dec. 31, 1856 (including those of
the Exeter and Crediton and Somerset Central Railway),
amount to 179,5051, which is 6,0241. more than in the
corresponding period of 1855. The working expenses
amounted to 82,2771., or 48.16 per cent., leaving 711.
18s. 4d. per mile on 124 miles worked during the last
half-year.

The comparative statement of traffic receipts for the
same time gives an increase in favour of 1856 of 1,6861.
on passengers, 2,7381. on goods, and 1,3361. on parcels ;
added to which are sums received from mails and ex-
presses, and increase on Exeter and Credition, making
altogether a total increase of 6,0241. The balance of the
revenue account, including 1,0801. brought from the for-
mer half year' is 58,7451., which enables the proprietors
to declare a dividend of 5 per cent. per annum for the
last half-year, and to carry forward a surplus of 8,7451.
The suspense accounts having been now extinguished,
the directors feel justified in recommending this improve-
ment of dividend, and hope, by the further development
of traffic, that this increase may be maintained. The
cost of locomotive power is at the rate of 10.31 d. per
mile run. The directors, in conjunction with the Great
Western and South Devon Board+, recommend further
assistance to the Cornwall railway. The directors have
provisionally agreed to take a lease of the West Somer-
set Railway when complete and ready for traffic.

A BURGLAR SliOT BY A CLERGYMAN,

- -
The most daring case of burglary which ever
took place in Derbyshire occurred between 1 and 2
o'clock on Saturday morninc, last at the residence
of the Rev. J. Nodder, of IVlarsh-green, Ashover,
about eight miles from Chesterfield. The holise
in which the rev. gentleman.resides stands by itself
in a secluded place about half a mile from the vil-
lage. Mrs. Nodder slept in a room in front of the
hall, and Mr. Nodder in an apartment at the back
of the building adjoining the servants' bedrooms.
An infant about seven weeks old slept in a cot in
Mrs. Nodder's room, but it awoke between 1 and
2 o'clock ; while Mrs. Nodder was attending to it
dsh. stirringefirst the fire in his
thought was
r sheo oc-
casionedomh,eaaruddbasyhneohit:orOelikwurisilobicalfilturther notice of it. In a
minute afterwards she heard the noise again, and
went to the window of her bedroom and drew the
blind when
nnd close to the glass.
w she saw the figure
She was in her night dress, and immediately drew
of
man a little
outside
window
back, put on her slippers, lifted the baby out of the
cot with one hand and rushed out of the room,
shutting the door after her and holding it in her
hand. While she was doing this six of the lower
panes of glass in the window and the centre frame-
work were smashed, and two men entered the room
through the window by means of a ladder, which
they had procured from the staelyard adjoining
the house. Mrs. Ncdder held the door until• she
was overpowered, when she rushed into a passage
on the stairs and locked the door, leaving the bur-
glars fastened in the room. They were provided,
however, with a " jemmy" or small crowbar, and
with this instrument they broke the panels of, the
door, and unlocked it, and so' got into the passaga
communicating with the bedrooms. The first room
they entered was that occupied by a lady named
Miss Heeley, a niece of the rev. gentleman, who
was so alarmed that she lifted up the lower sash of
the window and jumped into the yard, a height of
14 fiet, with nothing on her but a nightgown, and
in this state ran for three-quarters of a mile into
the village to the rectory-house. After escaping from
her room Mrs. Nodder went into that occupied by
her husband, and called out, "Papa, papa, here
are thieves, and they'll murder us." She . had
locked the edroom door after, her, and Mr. Nod-
der jumped out of bed arid armed himself with a
pair of large horse pistols which were loaded on the
top of a cupboard, !high contained the rev. gen-

SEEDS.

The brisk demand for linseed has somewhat subsided,
and transactions now passing are comparatively limited.
We quote Bombay, 725; fine Calcutta, 70s ; and Black
Sea, 703 to 703 Gd per quarter. Scarcely any inquiry
exists for linseed cakes, and. to effect sales lower rates must
be submitted to. Rape and oilseed aro more difficult to
sell. Calcutta rape has realised GEis to 608 ; and Bombay,

We had 16 very poor show of foreign stock in to-day's
market, but its general quality was tolerably good.
Compared with Monday last, there was an increased
supply of home-fed beasts on offer this moraing, and most
kiwis came to hand in good condition. The attendance
of buyers was tolerably numerous, yet the beef trade ruled
heavy, at a decline in the quotations of 23. per 81bs., and
a total clearance was not effected. The top figure for beef
was 4s 10d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 2,350 Scots and shorthorns ; from other parts of
England, 250 of various breeds ; from Scotland, .4)0 Scots;
and from Ireland, via Liverpool, 120 oxen.
We had an unusually dear trade for mutton, owing to
the supplies of sheep being very small in num b9rs, though
prime in quality. The trade was dull, at a further im-
provement in value of 2d per 81b. The general top quo-
tation for Downs was 5s 10d per 81bs, bat some very prime
lots sold at over Gs per Sibs.
There was a poor show of both English and foreign
calves, and the veal trade was brisk at a rise in value, com-
pared with Monday last, of 4d, per 81bs. The best calves
were worth 5s 103 per Sibs.
We had a moderate demand for pigs— the supply of
which was moderate —at last week's currency.
