voted for this object the sum of 25 guineas, in addi-
tion to a considerable amount of subscriptions from
individual members.

An exchange is negotiating between Lieutenant-
Colonel Wellesley, of the 81st Regiment, and Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Miller, of the 10th Foot : the latter-
named officer intends retiring from the service.
THE Tam. OF SMALL ARMS.—The Committee
on Small Arms assembled at the Ordnance on Wed-
nesday last, when the reports were brought in, and
it was decided that the trials at Woolwich should be
discontinued for the present ; and consequently the
firing party from the Guards, commanded by Captain
Brownrigg, are dismissed from duty at Woolwich.
This is a good arrangement, as it will allow
time for further improvement, and release all
parties from being detained on duty at a
time when every one wishes to get out of town. The
arms selected for further trial, against wet weather
and all other contingencies, are, the Prussian musket,
Colonel Hawker's waterproof primer, and Mr. Lan-
caster's improved rifle.
GOOD CONDUCT PAY FOR SERGEANTS.—We un-
derstand that the subject for amending daily pay as
good conduct pay, to these highly-deserving and me-
ritorious non-commissioned officers is about to be
brought under the consideration of the authorities at
the Horse Guards.

Statl•Assistant-Surgeon Swan, at present stationed
at Chatham, has received orders to hold himself in
readiness for service in the West Indies.

NEW HARBOUR INSTRUCTIONS.—The Admiralty
have issued new instructions for the ordinary service
of the port. Their Lordships reiterate their strong
injunctions against smuggling, and annonnce that in
the event of any improper use being made of spirits,
the party offending will be paid one penny a day in
lieu of such allowance cf spirits in future.
The Admiralty have given orders to the authorities
at her Majesty's establishment at Pembroke, that
certain buildings and grounds formerly belonging to
the Admiralty department, are to be transferred to
the Ordnance deArtment.

All the large ships fitting at the ports,_ namely,
Trafalgar, 120, Monarch, 84, at Sheerness ; Britannia,
120, and Vengeance, 84, at Ports nouth ; Cumber-
land, 70, at Chatham ; and St. George, 120, at Devon-
port, are ordered to have their cabins on the main
deck fitted with the moveable furniture lately intro-
duced into the service.

We learn by letters, dated 19:h inst., from the
Wellesley, flig•ship of the Right lion. the Earl of
Dundonald, that she was to proceed, in company with
her Majesty's brig Sappho, acting Commander the
Hon. A. A. Cochrane, to the coast of Newfoundland,
on a tour of inspection.
Albatross, Acting Commander Elliott, is on her
way home,
By letters from her Majesty's steam sloop Phmnix,
dated July 2, we hear that a survey had been held on
her boilers, and they were found in so bad a tae that
it was expected on the report reaching the Admiralty,
she would be ordered home immediately.
James Gallagher, Assistant-Surgeon, 1847, died
suddenly at Hong-Kong, on board the Amazon, on
the 20th June.

MILITARY EMIGILATION.—Upwards of 500 Chelsea
Pensioners and their families have embarked during
the present year for the Australian colonies, in order
to become settlers.

Saturday night :—]

FRANCE.

We have received the folio 4ing, dated August 21,
from a correspond_nt at Strasburg:—" The Presi-
dent's arrival here to-day was announced by the
ringing of bells and the firing of artillery. A tent,
tastefully decorated, had been erected at the railway
terminus, where the authorities received him in all
due form. He immediately mounted on horseback,
and proceeded to the Prefecture, surrounded by a nu-
merous and brilliant staff. The streets through
which he pissed were crowded to excess ; every
window was occupied by elegantly-dressed
ladies; in fact, all the beauty of Strasburg came
forth to' welcome their President. The National
Guard assembled in great numbers, and received the
President with frequent cries of Vive la Repub-
lique'.' mixed with those of Vive le President!'
Altogether his reception has exceeded the most san-
guine hopes of his party, particularly after the con-
duct of the Municipal Council, who refused to vote a
sou towards def:aying the expenses, and after the
daily exhortations of the Democratic journals to pre-
vent the National Guard from coming out. The
President gave evident signs of emotion ; pro-
bably the souvenir came across his memory of
the last time he pasted through the same streets as an
exile, whereas now he pranced gaily forward as chef
de 1. etat. Immediately after his arrival at the Prefec-
ture commenced the official visits. A member of the
Chamber of Commerce, M. Erckmann (one of the per-
sons that figured lately in the republican process at
34-.4 z), deemed fit—it was generally though with very
bad taste—to call the attention of the President to the
condition of thosewrho had been condemned to impri-
sonment, thus making an appeal to his clemency. The
Pre!-icient replied, that 'none better than he knew the
pain of being a prisoner, but that it was necessary
that order should be re-established before he could

think of recommending their being set at liberty.'
This evening there is to be a grand dinner of fifty
covers at the Prefecture. A splendid display of fire-
works is also to betivea opposite the windows of the
Prefecture, on theirampsrts. The town is crowded
with strangers ; amongst the visitors is the Grand
Duchess Stephanie of Baden and suite."

An itnmense crowd was assembled yesterday, both
within and round-the Hippodrome, to witness the as-
cent of M. Poiteviin, standing erect on his horse, sus-
pended, as in his former ascents, by the balloon. After
rising to the height of about 200 feet, the intrepid
aeronaut quitted the horse, and climbed into his car
by means of a
.rope ladder. Almost at the same
time another balloon went up from the Park at
Asnieres. At one moment the two balloons appeared
to be near enough to each other to exchange signs, but
soon after getting into currents, they went off in dif-
ferent directions;

A piece, called Louis XVII., is about to be played
at the theatre of the Vaudeville, in which M. Paul
Ernest is to Flay the part of the Orphan of the
Temple, who died when ten years of age. The Comte
de Richmond, who, it seems, has not renounced his
character of Pretender, is about to bring an action
against the director of the Vaudeville for producing
a piece in which he is made to die at the age of ten
years, whereas he is still alive, in perfect health, and
ready to assert his claim to the crown of France.
THE kEPAULESE AMBASSADOR.

The NePaulese Ambassador and his suite of twelve
persons, accompanied by Captain Fanshaw, their in-
terpreter, Visited on Thursday the galleries and mu.
scum of the Louvre. They greatly admired all they
saw, but what appeared to please them most was the
gallery- containing Chinese designs and utensils.
They asked many questions. 'Their gorgeous cos-
tumes, pearls, and diamonds produced an admirable
effect, in the galleries, and made the plain black
attire.of M. de Nicuwerkerke, the director of the
Lowe, M. de V ielcastel, the secretary, and
other officers who accompanied them, appear
very mean. The artists who were at work in the
galleries received the visitors with every respect. On
leaiing the Ambassador and his suite heartily thanked
the officials and artists for their flattering reception.
In the hotel Sinet, the distinguished strangers lodge
in apartments entirely separated from the rest of the
hotel. They communicate with no one, and keep
their curtains constantly closed. As their religion
requires them to kill their own meat, the Prefect of
Police, on the request of the English Embassy, has
consented to allow animals to be slaughtered in the
hotel.

mountain hares, in two whole and two half days' shoot-
ing. Birds wilder and stronger than ever seen in such
fine weather. At Muirton Mr. Mackenzie, younger of
Muirton, and Mr. John Mackenzie, shot on the 12th
inst. 20 brace of grouse and three mountain bares ; on
the 1711 inst.ls brace of grouse and two mountain hares.
At S,;atwell, Capt. Douglas, 15 brace of grouse and
four mountain hares on the 12th inst. At Glenlivat,
on the 12th, Mr. W. J. Newell bagged 111 brace, Mr.
Vim. Callwell 53 brace, and Mr. Henry Callwell 45
brace ; on the 15th Mr. Newall 11i brace, Mr. W.
Calwell 41 brace, Mr. Henry Calwell 321 brace. On
the 17th, Mr. Newall 10 brace, Mr. W. Calwell, 421
brace, and Mr. Henry Call well 411 brace.
At Glenquoich Mr. Ellice killed three fine stags
with his own gun in one day.
The shooting gentlemen in Strathspey seam pleased
with their sport this year. The birds are very large,
and in fine condition. 47 brace fell to the gun of one
of the gentlemen at the Advie moor.

At Invergarry grouse are in bad condition—so
much affected with tape-worm that there has been no
shooting as yet. There are, however, some good
covies.

Achnacarry party have not as yet gone out to the
moors. Lord Malmesbury, Mr. Harris, Mr. Dash-
wood, Lord Ranelagh, and Lord Edward Thynne,
have been out in the deer. forest. A very fine stag
was wounded on Thursday by Lord Malmesbury. It
immediately ran for Loch .L why, closely pursued by
a couple of hounds, and though shot through, swam
so rapidly that the chance of the hounds overtaking
bim was small. The deer was captured by a boat
from the shore.

UNUSUAL SPORT.—In the woods at Scatwell, on
the 16th instant, Captain Douglas, W. Mackenzie,
younger, of Muirton, and Mr. John Mackenzie,
bagged three couple of woodcock.
THE NESS.—The late rains have brought down the
Ness in great volume. It is believed that the fish
will now run freely, and that as soon as the river falls
good sport will be got. This day Mr. Tait obtained
a very fine salmon of 28 pounds.
THE LOCHT.—This is an early river, end of course
it does not fish well in the end of the season. There
has been little sport on it since the middle of May.
The Lochy is reserved entirely for anglers. Lord
Canning's party killed in all 32 salmon and 13 grilse.
The Spean is a tributary of the Lochy—on it Mr.
North and party killed 40 salmon and grilse, and Mr.
Collingwocd and party 32 salmon and grilse. The
sport may be said to be over for a season is these
rivers.

"CIRCULAR MEMORANDUM.

" It being desirable that the routine of discipline es-
teblished for garrison and barrack eels should be con-
ducted more uniformly than it Litherto appears to have
have been, more in accordance with the system adopted
in the military prisons, the attention of commanding
officers is directed to the circular memorandum of the
21st of December, 1816, relative to the distribution of
the time of the prisoners.
"It ii to he understood that the punishment of shot
exercise and drill are to be enforced in all cases to the
extent and with tha exceptions only therein specific 1, in
whatever manner the prisoners may be employed during
the other portions of the day, and all prisoners, whether
in confinement under sentence of court-martial, or by the
award of the commanding officer, are to be dealt with
alike, and subjected to the same discipline during the
period of their imprisonment in cells, due care being
always taken not to put a prisoner to shot exercise, or
other hard labour that may be prejudicial to his health.
Commanding offiJers are recommended to avail them-
selves of every opportunity to obtain advice and instruc-
tion on the subject of prison discipline from Lieutenant-
Colonel Jebb, the Inspector-General of Military Prisons,
when that officer, in the course cf his periodical tours of
inspection, happens to visit that quarter.

CAPTAIN AUSTIN'S EXPEDITION IN
SEARCH OF SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.

We (Herald) take it for granted that every commu3i-
cation from the squadron under the command of Captain
Austin, C.B , that has left Whalefilh Islands in search
of Sir John Franklin, is interesting, and, therefore, we
make no apology for inserting the following. It is
right to state, however, that they are letters from officers
to private individuals, and were not writ:en for pub•
lication:—

"11.11.5. - Whale Llands, June 22, Ten P.M,

" Dear C—,— Would you kindly forward the en-
closed (which you are very welcome to read) to —, as
I suppose you will know his whereabouts.
" You will be glad to hear that we all pull together—
men and officers, and are truly anxious to push forward;
also that the Danish Governor of Lievely, in Disco,
assured Captain Otarnanney that this was an unusually
favourable season, there being scarcely any ice here, or
for some distance northwards.

" Penny must be either in the north water or very
close to it, if this is the case. Resolute was 41 days
from Greenhithe—exactly the same number as Enter-
prise. This day (22) Enterprise arrived here, and sailed
on the 30:b. We are only a week in advance; bat the
season appears t) be rive or six weeks ahead of what it
was in 1848. In our periodical,' the Aurora, a song,
entitled The Song of the Sevrn-Bellers,' has just come,
to the air of The Cavalier.' It sets forth the pleasure
of having in Britain bright light,' whilst hero all will
be a chilling darkness. The remembrance of its bril-
liancy, so constantly shining, &c., will be very cheering
to the seven beller for whom it is supposed to shine; ani
the song eoncludis with wishes for a see return, and
the speedy arrival of the (tad of the long aid anxiuui
watch—

May it soon strike eight for me.'

As I am not a seven bailer,' but a lieutenant, I ha►e
not got a c3py of the song to send you. - came lurk)
for it to copy and send home.
" We have not been long in whipping out 520 tons of
stuff from the transport and stowing it away. The
tender's hawse•holes are not much out of water, I assure
you. I wish we had that Mr. - to work up, fJr gi►ing
tts new ale, which, of course, has burst; so that we Bare
not more than a tenth of our stock remaining. -I do not
mean our wine-merchants, Shaw, Maxwell, and Co., for
no men oould have behavel more hagdsumely to us.
" Very sinter( ly yours, "
"To an Officer of Sir James Ross's late expedition."

"H. M. S. -----, Whale Island, June 22.
My dear —,—l am all safe for a twelvemonth
onger, at all events from the seductive charms of your
full-blown' beauties.
"Here we are at the Whale•fish Islands, and on the
eve of starting to continue our voyage. The Esquimaux
and Danish carpenter are pretty much as we found them;
but the ducks have become mote difficult to shoot. We
have, however, got a few; --- and myself are amongst
the most successful. We started away ono evening in
the dingy, pulled through all our old passages, where
they used to be plentiful, and returned on board at five
A.M., bringing only five ducks, although we had knocked
down thirteen. Dr. is in this expedition what
Dr. was in the last—a man who would shoot his
own father if be had feathers on. Wo are very com-
fortable here. Ido not find my berth so irksome as I
naturally expected it to be; on the contrary. We arrived
here on a Sa'urday; on Sunday Captain Austin
,dined
on board the Assistance; also Lieutenant Power, of the
transport. Captain Auftin seemed much pleased with
the Assistance's internal appearance. We were all
surprised to find the Assistance the best sailer, except
before the wind, when the Resolute has the advantage.
Our mess is very comfortable, and the combination'
answers remarkably well. The tenders have suffered
much coming across; I fear they are too unhandy for an
icy sea, besides now br.ing so deep as to be unsafe in a
less exposed one. Ido not think they will be let out of
leading-strings at all.

to Melville Island, and as they sae at Lievrly that
this is
.fe very favourable season, with scarcelyj any
ice, I
sincerely hops we shall succeed in exploring much of
the unknown regions where Franklin
n is supposed to be
detained.
" Penny left a letter at Devely for Lieutenant Os-
borne, stating his arrival hero on the second May, and
departure on the 4th, so that ho had a marvellously quick
passage out. Tho lurking desire to compete successfully
with all other searching expeditions has caught fire and
broken out, so there is but little fear of losing time
henceforth. We are working day and night to ecniph to
coaling the tenders, and shall then start, probably some
time to-night. It has always been any aim to urge the
necessity of pressing forward—of gaining upon Penny,
lest: we should find ourselves picking up his notices on
the headlends in Barron 'e Straits. I think it probable
he will soon find Jones's Sound impracticable, and
try for Welling tou Channel or Melville Island,
that at Last he may gain to himself the merit
of cutting us out. All the influtnce I have
(and I have a little) is devoted to pressing forward
and perfecting the arrangements for travelling

parties. Captain Austin has had written to him a long
service letter, suggesting a certain triode of equipping
the travelling parties, the chief peculiarity of which is
the taking out of derots in the autumn for the spring
journeys, and giving the men pemmican and tea, in.
stead of preserved meat and chocolate. They can carry
forty days' provisions, and manage to enty days more
by means of denote, so that it is calculated each party
should travel eight hundred miles. This is the substance
of the letter, which Captain Austin has acknowledged in
a handsome manner. We hare devotions every morning
and evening, and have neter missed Church service
since we sailed. Our men are full of spirit, and ready
to do anything. We have had no reports nor punish-
ment since leaving England. As to amusements, we
have already a newspaper, and hare in reserve our thea-
tricals, organ, foot-ball, cricket, aad quoits, to shall
get on well enough. The greater portion of Vie ale has
burst, I am sorry to say. I send this through C--, as I
hope you will be aboard a good steam-frigate by the time
it arrives. Nine P.M.—llavo just returned from the main
hold of the transport, where we have had a commivee
to estimate the amount of coal remaining, and think
we can get it all out by fuer o'clock to-morrow morn-
ing, and then for sea. Each tender will have 300 tons
of coal on board. There is a noble spirit in our crew,
and we have some fine fellows. I would rather serve
here on no pay at all, than be a commander idlirg about
on shore, and I look forward with extreme pleasure to
carrying out all the plans for travelling which hsve been
matured with the greatest care, nor will I feel satisfied
unless I have seventy days' travelling next spring. It
will be strange if we find no trace of Franklin. I sup-
peso their Lordships will not think of us until we
return, nor do I ever give promotion a thought, having
plenty to do and to think about to brood over their
Lordship's indifference abut us and our claims.
" P.S. This day two years we arrived here."

" TENS—, May 20, 1650.
" My dear --, —According to promise I am going
to commence a short yarn for your Perusal. Of cuurs9
you know all our proceedings to the time of the steamers
leaving us; I shall therefore say ncthing about cur-
selves up to that period. They left us cn the evening of
the 15th, about twenty miles to the westward. Having
weighed, we then made sail,_and had contrary winds
until the It th, when it came from the north-east, and
has continued so ever since ; we are just one hundred
and forty miles farther advanced than pat were on this
day on your passage out in '4B; the breeze appears
likely to stand; the tenders are obliged to steam to keep
up with us, although our utmost speed as yet has not
exceeded six knots. We are very comfortable and happy
on board, and if offered, I would not change captain or a
single messmate, and the ship's company are (with the
exception of two) fine well-behaved steady fellows. We
beat the in sailing, indeed I think this the much
superior ship of the two, both for s'owage and sailing.
Our steward is a splendid f.llow, and we live like fight-
ing cocks. We are just establishing a monthly paper,
hich I think will be very amusing.
"I shall not of course close this until our arrival at the
W 1 ale-fish Islands, but will just keep it up as a sort of
journal until the opportunity offers for sending it. lam
happy to tell you that the ' seven- bellers' are fast recover-
ing themselves, and I really think that a few weeks will
act them all right. We made Cape Farewell, bearing
north true 6 t miles, and in the first watch passed
through a good deal of stream and sailing icy. To-day
we hare a regular barrier cf ice, extending from east to
west; it is only heavy streams, and we are standing to
north-west to find a passage. At two r.m., our trans-
port hove in sight to leeward. Oar latitude at noon,
59 14 N., long. 47 W.; the weather most beautiful. Then

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.

William Collins, 30, was indicted for Moniou,lv
wounding Rizsbeth Collins, with intent to do her
grievou3 bodily harm.
Mr. Cooper prosecuted, and Mr. Cockle defended
the prisoner.

The prosecutrix, who is the wire of the prisoner,
upon her getting into the witness-box, was evidently
resolved to do all in her power to shield the prisoner.
She began in a very voluble manner to declare that
she was the only person to blame in the transaction,
that she was drunk, and had aggravated her husband
to strike her, and that the injury she had received was
very trifling. The other evidence in the case, how-
ever, clearly made out that a most savage and brutal
attack had been made upon her by the prisoner with
the leg of a tdble, and it appeared that, in addition to
several severe injuries about the head and body, one
of her arms was broken.

The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, with intent
to do grkvous bodily harm ; and the prisoner was
sentenced to be transported for ten years.
Whe n the sentence was pronounced the wife of the
prisoner went into hysterics, and as she was being
carried past the dock he leaned over to her and ex-
claimed, " Now I hope you are satisfied, ain't you ?"
William Robins, who had pleaded guilty to a
charge of stealing a cheque, was brought up for
kulgtnent, and sentenced to be imprisoned and kept
t) hard labour for six months.

Henry Hutton, who had been convicted of uttering
a forged certificate of marriage, was also brought up,
and he was Fen ten ced to be imprisoned and kept to
hard labour for twelve months.

street door, which having opened cautiously he looked
down his area, and seeing that a doer leading to a
storeroom, adjoining the kitchen, had ken broken
open, he called out " Glue up," when the prisoner
stood forward and endeavoured to ascend the steps
leading to the road. HP, however, kept her at bay
until the arrival e.f police-constable Rowe, 91 B, to
whom he called for assistance, and she was securer'. ;
but her companions made their escape in another di-
rection. Before she wos apprehended she emplored
him not to be hard, as she would be transported per-
haps for 21 years if he prosecuted her. The timely
discovery prevented a further depredation.
Sergeant Graystnark, No. 8 E, said the accused
was one of the most desperate characters in the me-
tropolis, and a notorious thief. Not long ago she was
tried at the Old Bailey, v.ith three men, for a bur-
glary on the premises of Mr. Raven, surgeon, Comp-
ton-street, Brunswick-square, and escaped a conviction
on that occasion, the humane and Learned Judge
Lord Denman on the trial mercifully urging to the
jury tbat she might have acted under the control of
her companions, who were found guilty and trans-
, ported for life.—Shei was committed for trial.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

HELL AND SELEY.—The half-yearly meeting of
this company was held on Saturday at Hull. The
report stated that the directors, being anxious to
avoid any just ground of difference arising hetet een
this company and the York and North Midland Rail-
way Company, had entered into negotiations for as-
certaining and adjusting their claims. Towards pro-
viding for any payment which may be required to be
made on this ecJount it is considered expedient now
to make some reserve, and the directors recommend
a dividend for the half-year of 2/. 7s. upon the whole
or 501. shares, and 11. 3s. 61 upon the half or 251.
shares ; such dividend, and also the half-year's in.
terest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum on the
quarter shares (subject in each case to the deduction
of the income-tax), to be payable at the hankers of
the company. The net amount of the dividends after
deducting the income•tax will be 27,3771., leaving
1,4811. in hand. Aker some discussion the report
was adopted.
YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND 13SRWICK.—It appears
the directors of this company have made arrange.
meats to accommodate the shareholders and their
friends on the occasion of opening the central railway
station at Newcastle, and the bridge over the Tweed
at Berwick on Thursday next. A special train will
leave York for Barwick at 7 o'clock in the morning,
calling at the principal stations along the line, and
will leave Berwick at 5 P.M. for York. The share.
holders and their friends who wi-h it may go to Ber-
wick or Ne is-castle by any of the trains the day before
the opening, and return on Friday, the day after. The
shareholders will be allowed to travel free, and to
take their friends with them on payment for each
friend from Yolk to Newcastle 11e 61. Ist class, and
10i. 21 class ; and from York to Berwick 20'. Ist
class, and 17s. 2d class, and in the same proportion for
intermediate distances. It is expected that her Ma-
jesty the Queen and Prince Albert will be present at
the opening on Thursday, while proceeding on their
route to Scotland.
SOUTH WALE3.—The report of Meesrs Thurburn
and Baker, the auditors of this company, states that
the accounts and all cash transactions appear to ba
kept and checked with great care and exactness. In
the course of the audit they have received the fullest
assistance from the secretary and other officers of the
company, and free and full access to every document
and account has been et once accorded ; but, whilst
thankfully acknowledging the facilities afforded, the
auditors are of opinion that such should not be left
optional, but should be secured to the shareholders by
legislative enactment ; and whilst they strongly de-
precate all kind of Government interference in the
management of the company's affairs they trust
that Parliamentary powers, such as were sought for
in the Bill lately introduced by the railway dele-
gates, may be rgain applied for is the ensuing session,
whereby a clearly defined, efficient, and independent
system of audit may be secured as a matter of
right. The statement of receipts and expenditure
to the 30th of June shows that 2,800,0001, being
the whole of the share capital, has been called up.
The last call of, 31.: per share was due on the Bth of
July. Deducting 630,453!, the amount forfeited and

AISIBERGATE, NOTTINGHAM, AND BOSTON.--The
report to be submitted to the proprietors at the half-
yearly meeting, to be held next Thursday in Notting-
ham, states that the line from the junction with the
Midland Railway at Colwick to Granthan was opened
to the public on the I.sth of July, and the traffic has
been
_satisfactory up to the present time. The total
receipts up to the 31st of July amounted to .5771., in-
cluding the toll to the Midland Company on the 24miles out of Nottingham. Of this period goods and
mineral trains were run only nine days; but arrange-
ments have now been completed for the conveyance
of goods, commencing on the 19th of August, and the
traffic continues to increase. A contract has been
made with Messrs. E. B. Wilson and Co., of Leeds,
to perform the whole of the work in the locomotive
department, including servants connected therewith,
the company providing three-fourths of the capital
expended on the plant. The directors do not intend
to make any further call until afer February next,
prior to which every exertion will be made to recover
the amounts now in arrear, as also to ascertain the
precise sum that may be required to fulfil the en-
gagements of the company. The railway being now
open, payment of interest out of capital has ceased.
10,580 shares are to be forfeited, on which 33,399/.
has been paid, it having been found impossible to
recover anything more from the present holders.
Since the last report the engineering charges have
been reduced at the rate of upwards of 1,0001. per
annum, and further reductions are contemplated.
1,700/. has been paid to cancel a contract for engines
with Messrs. Fairbairn, and a like sum has to be paid
to Messrs. Sharp, Brothers, on the same account, that
beiog less than the difference in price between the
present time and that of making th-e contracts. The
receipts on calls for the half-year ending the Bth'of
August amount to 48,756/., and the expenditure to
48,070/. The report of the engineer states that the
measurement of the works requisite for the final
arrangement of the contract accounts is in progress.
The works throughout are in a satisfactory state, and
the permanent way is in good condition. •
NEWMAENEY.--It is'understood that this line .1 telv
so suddenly closed, will be re-opened to-day, the ne-
cessary arrangements and understanding having been
come to.

EASTERN COUNTIES.—The several trains that were
discontinued by this company during the last fort-
night are to resume running to-day, the staff of en-
gine-drivers being now completely reorganiz2d.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
LIVErPOOL, AUG 24.--Pi ices to-day remain un-
changed.

MANCIIESTER, Auo. 24,—Daring the greater part of
the present week the weather in this neighbourhood has
been cold and showery, with boisterous windy, but the
trade has, nevertheless, remained without any specula-
tive action, only a moderate consumptive demand for
flour having been experienced, and stocks in first hands
bring light, previous rates were mainteined. Old cat-
meal has moved off steadily without alteration in value,
whilst for new it has been necessary to accept lower
prices. Of foreign wheat and flour the arrivals at Liver-
po,4 aro on a liberal eea'e, but very scanty of other pro-
dutte; whilst from Ireland or cur own c•iast the supplies
are emcee-Jingly small. Tht re was but a limited craount
of business trans.:et? d in any article at our market this
morning, but a C.erahly firm feeling being displayed by
holders, no material change cectirred is the currincy of
this day stAnight, which we therefore repeat. New oat-
meal
was in fair request, at 24s to 25s ler 2401b5.
