COURT OF EN.

THE DEATH OF THE RECORDER OF LONDON.
On Saturday last a special court was held at the
Gukiilailin consequence of the death of the Recorder
of London. There was a full court.
THE GAOL OF NEWGATE.
Mr. Alderman and Sheriff LAWRENCE took occa-
sion to state, before the commencement of the especial
business for which the Court was summoned, that
there were no more than four transports, two men
and two women, in the gaol of Newgate; and the
reason these prisoners were detained there was that
they, in consequence of illness, were incapable of
leaving it. lie remembered no time at which the
gaol was so clear of tried prisoners.—(Rear.)

been connected with the corporation of London, and
it was needless to particularise the manner in which
the duties of the several offices which he had filled
during that period had been performed by him.—
(Hear, hear.) Sir P. Laurie proposed the following
resolution :
" That the Court having viewed with deep regret the
intelligence of the sudden death of the Hon. Charles

Ewan Law, the late respected Recorder of this city,
cannot but express their sense of the great loss which

position in society. And this Court beg to offer their
sincere condolence to the Hon. Mrs. Law and the
afflicted family, at the severe blow with which it has
pleased Providence to visit them. —(Hear.)
Alderman FAREBROTIIER sincerely regretted the
melancholy occasion upon which the Court had as-
sembled, and seconded the resolution moved by Sir
Peter Laurie, in every one of whose observations he
most cordially agreed. He felt convinced that the
widow of their lamented friend would feel some con-
solation at receiving sw_di a testimony of the respect
and honour in which her late husband had been uni-
formly held by those who had known him so long and
so well.—(Hea., hear.)
The resolution was then unanimously agreed to,
and a copy was ordered to b 3 transmitted to the lion.
Mrs. Law.
Upon the motion of Sir PETER LAURIE, seconded
by Alderman FAREDRoTHER, the resolution was or-
dered to be adver,ised in tLe morning and evening
papers.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the
Court, we were given to uncerstaod, after ii very short
discussion, referr d the questioa of the duties and.
salary of the future rteeordt r to a select committee.

EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.
The following report of the directors will be pre-
sented to the half-yearly meeting, to be held at the
London Tavern on the 2211 instant :--
" On completing the brat year of their official duties,
the' directors have to report that, notwithstanding the
many difficulties and camplications wising out of the
past, they have reason to be setisfied with the progress
which has been male towards the es tsblishment of or ier
in the current business of the company, the restoration
of its credit, anti the arrangements that have been
effected, ne:terisala tendiag to reduce the heavy ex•
permed to which the revenue has been hitherto seta, or.
The accounts fur the half-year hare been made out on
the principles and form approved by the eroprietere st
the last meeting by Messrs. a/lifter and Co., and they
have been subject to the continuous audit s f Messrs.
Racy s and Mayhew, to whom that Important duty was
assigned by their co-proprietors. The capital account,
having been vir.ually closed, in accordance -sill the re-
solution of the last half-) early meeting, the revenue is
now debited with all disbursements, aed it will be ob-
served that the half-year's income bas been charged
-with 15,4181. 2s. 2d. for the rebuilding and replacement
of engines and carriages, and that the sum of 8,000/,
has been carried to the credit uf The reserve fund for
the renewal of permanent way and works. A portion
of this fund has been applied to the renew al of the Col-
chester line, and the repair of stations, as shown in the
accounts. The directors being of opinion, from the ex-
perience they have acquired of the condition of the prc-
perty, that a smaller sum than that recommended by
the committee of investigation will be sufficient for the
renewal of the way and works, recommend the share-
holders to sanction their reserving hereafter 22.0011 a
year in place of 32,0001.; and it is proposed that this
sum should be apportioned by charging the revenue of
each half-yeer ending the 4th of January with 14,0001.,
arid the half-year ending the 4th of July with 8,000/.
The receipts of the halt-year are 400,7051. 12a. sd, of
which .53,536/. Its. 3d. has been derived from the Nor-
folk Railway, and the charges as apportioned by the ac-
countants against that line amount to 37,1811 7s. 7d.
The Norfolk revenue has been charged with 4001. as the
expenses of the joint committee during the year. The
directors regret to announce the unsatisfactory result of
the working of the Norfolk line during the past half-
year as compared with farmer periods; this is obis fly to
be attributed to the opening of the Eastern Union Com-
pany's extension to Norwich, and the consequent division
of the traffic to and from London and Norwich and the
districts lying between the two lines of railway; while
their junction, which must bring a considerable treffic
upon the Norfolk Railway, still remains to be made by
the Eastern Union Company. The charges and
expenses against revenue during the half-year
amount to 365,2101. 4s. 3d., leaving 35,495/. Be. 23,
to which must be added the surplus left atter
paying the last dividend, namely, 1,6201. 175., making
art available balance of 37,1161. ss. 23. The directors
therefore recommend a dividend upon the consolidated
stock of the Eastern Counties Railway Company of 2s.
per share. and a payment to the Norfolk Company suffi-
cient to Live an equal dividend on their consolidated
stock, according to the agreement subsisting bet eeen the
two companies. The directors have purchased No. 2 Five
per Cent. Stock, amounting to 3,2661. 13s. 4d., formerly
issued in excess, and have cancelled the certificates, as
was resolved at the last half-yearly meeting; they also
gave notice to the holders of the Yorli Extension Five
per Cent. Guaranteed Stock that they might be paid off
at par on the 10th of June last. In pursuance of which
notice, holders of that stock, to the amount of 25,8401,
had consented to receive payment when the halt yeer's
accounts were closed, leaving 18.0801. then to be dealt
with, part of which has since been paid off; and this
stock will he replaced by debentures at lower rates of
interest. Your accountants are still engaged in the ex-
amination of the capital account, which they have nut
been able to complete during the. past half-year. Sundry
payments formerly made in error or in excess have been
discovered, some cif which are now recoverable; these
will amount to more than sufficient to pay the cost of
this laoorious investigation, and the directors therefore
recommend that it be steadily pursued. Since the half-
year's accounts were closed, the reference between the
company and Mr. George Hudson, arising out of the ,
Wisbeach and St. Ives Railway transactions, has been
decided, and the sum of I,COO/., with interest at five per
cent, for three years and three-quarters, making to•
gether 1,1871. 10s., have been awarded to the company
and paid by Mr. Hudson, who has also paid the costs
of reference. The attempt, by a separate company. to
obtain an Act of Parliament to make a railway from
Cambridge to Saepreth having been defeated, and the
powers of this company to take land for a branch line
in the same direction—namely from Shelford, near
Cambridge, to the termination of the It/sten and
Lliteein Railway at Sheoretio bring limited as to time,
the directors took means to get possession of the ground
without delay, and they have the satisfaction to state
that it was obtained on comparatively reasonable terms,
and in all cia-es by amicable arrangement with the
owners and occupiers. Specifications have been p -e-
-petted, and contracts are advertised for the whole of the
work;, which are intended to be completed in tine for
the opening of the Royston and li.mchin Red wee .
During the present session of Parliament an Act was
sought by the Maximal! Railway Company to obtain
running powers over the whole of the Eastern Counties
Railway; and, had the attempt been successful, the
result to this company would have been unjust and in-
jurious. The directors, however, have the satisfac:ion
to announee, that by the opposition they were enabled to
present to this Bill in the Committee of the House of
Commons, the powers sought were reduced to such
limits as to render it unnecessary to carry the opposi-
tion further. These have increased the law charges of
the company during the past half-year. The Eastern
Union Company have obtained an Act of Parliament,
giving them an extension of time to make the branch
to Harwich, and other powers; and although the direc-
tors felt it their duty to call on the proprietors, at their
last general meeting, to refuse their assent to certain,
clauses intended to have been inserted in that Act, they
believed great advantages to both companies would result
from the opening of the Harwich brancb, and they shall
be glad if the Eastern Union directors are enabled to
devise some mode of completing it, in which the directors
can advise this company to co-operate with them. The
directors regret that they have not succeeded in con-
cluding an arrangement with the Great Northern Rail-
way Company; but being well aware of the loss which
must be sustained by bota companies in the event of a
hostile competition, they trust that a good understanding
may be maintained between them until some definite
arrangement be made. The directors regret that it
should have been deemed expedient by the Newmarket
Company to discontinue the working of their railway.
It has been a subject of much care and anxiety to
this board, and several propositions have been made to
the Newmarket Company for working their traffic, but
the directors feel it impossible, consistent with your in•
terests to offer more than they e have already done,
namely, to work the Newmarket Railway at cast price,
and without any profit to this company beyond what
might arise from trsffic thus brought upon the Eastern
Counties Liue. The carriages and other materials be-
lunging to that company, held by the Eastern Counties
as security fir their debt, will shortly be taken at a va-
luation. The Electric Telegraph Company's agreement
to work and maintain the apparatus upon this railway
having some time ago expired, remained in abeyance
when the present directors took office; negotiations have
been since pending which have resulted in a new agree-
ment between the two companies, to the effect that a fair
allowance shall be made to this company out cf the re-
ceipts for commercial and general messages sent along
their line, so that in future it will be their interest and
policy to extend more freely to the public in the eastern
counties the benefits of the telegraph, and to induce the
more frequent use of this rapid mode of communicating
intelligence. The Lowestoft harbour has bees finished
within the estimate, under the superintendence of Cap-
tain Andrews, the harbour-master, who pas been de-
servedly appointed by the Tricky Board superintendent
of pilots for the port, which is now much frequented as
a harbour of refuge, accessible at all times of tide to
vessels of twelve feet draft of water, and to ships of the
larger class at high water. The trade of the port con-
tinues steadily to increase, nearly a thousand vessels
having entered the harbour for trade or refuge during
the past year; and new residences are rapidly rising on
the south side of the harbour; which, with the esplanade
and pier, will render Lowestoft an attractive watering
place for the citizens of Norwich and the inhabitants of
the midland counties, who have ready access to it by
the railways converging at Peterborough. The works
upon the Eastern Counties Railway being now completed
the directors are enabled to dispense with the services of
a resident engineer, besides effecting other reductions
in that department, and to place the maintenance of the
way and works in charge of the superintendent. The
directors suggest that provident funds should be raised
among their officers and servants, to which the com-
pany should contribute, in order to afford, under pro-
per regulations, some provision for their families in
case of accident or injury, to which such men are much
exposed, as also in the event of their becoming unab:e to
perform their duties through age, sickness, or infirmity.
In the extensive workshops at Stratford there is now
training up a body of men to work and repair the com-
pany's engines, upon whose skill and intelligence much
depends. The directors desire to assist them in
acquiring a practically useful education, to fit theta fur
to encourage eductation
such service. These objects,
and prudent habits, may be effected at a very moderate
expense; the duty as well as the interests of the com-
pany require, it, and they trust it will meet the a b
tion of the proprietors. During the past half-year ppr o
Pr a a
pc:anis to work the locomotive engines and carriage
ia bc;
contract have been urged upon the directors by
several,
whose knowledge and experience in railway mans' e-
naent are entitled to great respect, and persons of skill
and responsibility have come ferward with substantial
offers to undertake such cont! acts, so that the board
felt bound to give this subject their best attention; but
after having maturely considered it they are of opinion
that it is not fur the interest of the proprietors that they
should lease the working of their line. The directors
nave, therefore, appointed Mr. John V. Gooch, late of
the South-Western Railway, as superintendent of the
locomotive department. It is the painful dtity of the
oirectors to report that, oaring to circumstances whici,
arose on inquiring into the payments flaaailY mad'
for land and other purpose s, terough Mr. Duncan,
the late solicitor to the company, they found it mem

GALE or WIND.—At St. Kitt'a a south-wester
commenced on the 11th of July. The damage on
shore was comparatively trifling; but of the shipping,
in addition to the account brought by the former
packet, apprehensions were entertained for the safety
of the brig Index, at the time at S Indy Point, taking
on board part of her cargo, and the schooner Governors
Light, which vessel was driven out, and it was sup-
posed had become unmanageable in consequence of
her rudder having been unshipped; however, both
these veasels returned to their anchorage on Sunday
morning, the 14th July. The cutter Union, the pro-
perty of Mr. John W. Poulse, sunk at her moorings
a-, Sandy Point, and was subkcquently washed on
store and broken to pieces. The barque Robert, of
London, and brig Premier, of Glasgow, rode out the
gale in safety. The barque Benjamin Green, of
London, is a total wreck.

Sr. JOHN'S HARBOUR, ANTIGUA, JULY 11.—The
shipping over the bar plunged heavily, but, with the
exception of the ►hip Isabel, rode out the gale. This
vessel, being light in ballast, presented a greater ob-
ject to the wind and sea, consequently began to drive,
at one time being in immerlhte peril. The crew
were compelled to cut away the masts. The shipping
within the harbour, with the exception of a small
cutter, rode out the gale with little or no damage.
DOMINIQUE, JULY 13.—0 n Thursday morning the
11th instant, about eight o'clock, the sea began to
assume a rough and boisterous appearance, the wind
at the time blowing from N.W., but not at all what
could be called a gale. The barometer at that time
had fallen a tenth ; towards twelve o'clock appear-
ances became more threatening. The wind veered
round to the S.W., and the sea became still more
boisterous, and the general opinion was that a storm
must have occurred to the southward to
cause the heavy sea. However, it still con-
tinued to rise; and it became evident that the vessels
riding at anchor in the roadstead were in great dan•
ger, as it was impossible for them to put to sea, the
wind blowing right in shore. About three o'clock
the fine barque, the Osbert, of Loudon, which was to
have sailed to-day with a full cargo of between 600
and 700 hogshead of sugar, parted her out-shore
anchor, and came ashore stern on. In the meantime
the sea had risen to such a height that no boat could
venture out into it, and no assistance could be rendered
to the shipping. One boat, manned with a crew of
noble fellows, did attempt to go off to the Osbert, but
they had proceeded but a short distance when the
boat was capsized, and the crew pitched into the sea,
and they were only saved by the exertions of the
people on shore, who took hands, and formed a line
out into the surf, and lai 1 bold of each of the poor
'ellows as they were overpowered by the waves, and
thus the whole were saved.

The condition of the captain and crew of the
Osbert now became very distressing • the vessel lay
about half a cable's length from the beach, the sea
was tremendous, and with every bump it was feared
the masts would go overboard and tear the ship to
pieces; at last, after great difficulty, a hawser was
got on shore, and made fast to a tree. On this one
of the sailors managed to get ashore, bringing a small
line, to which was attached a noose, hung to the
hawser by a large iron hook ; to this another rope
was fastened by the people on shore, and the hook
again drawn back to the ship, a tub was then fastened
to the hook, and in this the whole of the crew, one
after the other, was drawn ashore.
About eight o'clock P.M. the vessel began to
break up, and at ten the whole bay was strewed with
wreck and empty sugar casks, and now only a few
fragments remain in the place where the vessel struck.
Both the vessel and cargo, we are happy to hear,
are insured. _ _

Besides the Osbert, the sloops Brothers, Venus,
William Stewart, Child() Harold, Jane and Mary,
and Calypso, belonging to this port, were driven on
shore. _ _

—Aifour o'clock, p.m., the North American steam-
packet Medway, Captain Symons, with the English
mails, made her appearance off the town of Roseau.
A canoe, with three men, launched from the beach at
the west end of the town, came off, and took the mails
on shore. An attempt was made to land a draft of
soldiers for the island in one of the packet-boats ; the
canoe came off again to the boat's assistance, took
two soldiers out of her and landed them ; other boats
from the ship went to her assistance, and with much
difficulty 'she returned to the ship. At eight oclock
the packet proceeded on without the out-mails for
England. Captain Dalrymple, of the Osbert, and
crew, are passengers by the Medway.

JAMAICA.
We have received our customary file of papers and
correspondence from Jamaica. The steamer left
Kingston on the morning of the 23d of July.
There are not in the papers from this colony any
items at all worth extracting, if we except, perhaps,
the following on the state of the weather and the
crops from the Falmouth Post :
" We have been informed by several gentlemen who
have the management of sugar estates in this parish
(rrelawny), that serious fears are entertained respecting
he crop that is now on the ground, in consequence of
the drought that has prevailed fur some time. On some
properties the fields have been entirely re-supplied with
new plants, at a considerable expense, and unless the
season sets in rapidly, heavy loisct will be sustained.
Our advises from Hanover state that there have been
repeated and heavy showers of rain in the country, and
tho yield of ground provisions is immense. Yams are
sold at 4s. per hundred weight, and plantains are retailed
in the market at Linia at the rite of 12 for 3d."
The weather generally was very stormy in the sea-
port towns. At intervals there were good rains, but, I
natwithstanding, the heat was very great. _
There had been some little disturbance on an
estate in St. Ann's, called Kuapdale, between the

MINING INTELLIGENCE.

• The Mining Journal furnishes the annexed infor-
mation relative to the progress of English mining
adventure :

" There has been more than an average amount of
business transacted this week, and the inquiry for leading
mines continues. It is gratifyin gto find theta progressive
upward movement in tin continues, a further advance
having taken place. Copper, however, has given way,
it being quoted id. per lb. lower. Shares in the follow-
ing mines have changed hands •since our last:-East
Wheal Rose, South Basset, Stray Park, Condurrow,
Tincrofr, Tremayne, Hennock, Mary Ann, Wheal Lang-
ford, Duren, Wheal Trelawuey, South Plain Wood,
Warleggan Consols, Callington, Wheal Russell, Tress-
vean, Treleigh Consols. Venton, Crebor Consols, Alfred
Consols, West Seton, West Wheal Jewel, Levet, Black
Craig, Kirkcudbright, &c. At the usual quarterly
meeting of Wheal Trelawny the financial statement
Showed a profit of 1,6581 for the months of March,
April, and May, which. added to the balance from last
account, allowed a dividend of 1.5601. being 61. per share,
leaving a balance in hand of 1,055/.; during the above pe-
riod the sales of silver lead ores realized 6,3321. At the
meeting of the Bedford United the statement of accounts
showed a balance in favour of the mine of 6831.; and an
account of payments and receipts before the next meet-
ing, showing a balance of receipts over payments of
1,6141.; and an estimate of assets and liabilities, showing
a balance in favour of assets of 2,166/., were passed, and
a dividend of 2s. 6d. per share declared. At the usual
quarterly meeting of Wheal Mary Ann the accounts for
the three months ending May showed a profit of 1,9951.,
which, added to balance from last account, allowed a
dividend of 1,5361., being 31. per share, carrying to
credit of next account 1.0301. The directors of the
Wicklow Copper Mining Company have declared a divi-
dend at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum for the half-
year ending the let of March, to which date their ac-
counts are made up. At the Levant two-monthly meet-
ing a dividend of 51. per share was declared, carrying to
credit of the next account 793/. At Wheal Setoa two-
monthly account a dividend of 9901. was declared for the
months of May and June, being 51. per share, carrying
to credit of next account 3071. Copper ores sold realized
(less dues) 4,374/., giving a profit of 985/. on the two
months' workings. At Penzance Consols meeting the
accounts for the four months ending June showed •
balance of 46/. in favour of the mines; the amount of tin
sold during that time appears to be 5681. The Comblawn
adventurers met on the 15th inst., when a balance of
4101. was found against the mine, and a call of 2/. per
share was deemed necessary. At Wheal Sophia meeting
a balance of 79/. was shown in favour of the mine, but a
call of ss. per share was deemed necessary. At the two•
monthly meting of Dyfogwu adventurers the report from
the agent, recommending additional operations, esti-
mating the outlay at 2,000/., was taken into considera-
tion, and resolved that a call of Is. per share should be
paid monthly, until the required amount be raised. The
bi•monthly meeting of shareholders in the Rhoawiddol
Lead Mines was held on Tuesday. The accounts of the
last two months showed an expenditure of 384/. 30. 3d.;
the proceeds of lead sold amounted to 167/., leaving a
balance against the mine. At Wheal Langrnaid
account the balance of 21. 18s. 10d. was found in favour
of the mine, and a call of sr. per share was made
At Wheal Mary (Redruth) meeting a balance of
1191. was found against the company, and a call of
76. 6(1. per share was made. At the Wheal Vincent
meeting the accounts showed that when all calls are paid,
including June cost, the mine would be about clear
of debt.rt.A call of 2s. 6d. per share was made. At the
two-monthly metting of the Heignston Down Consols
the accounts showed a balance of 541. in favour of tile
At.ticipating the cost sheets due before the next
tyro-monthly meetiny.. it was found necessary to provide
fur 9°BL, which will be partly met by the sale of 50 tons
of copper ore of high produce, a call of 2s. 6(1. per share
