LONDOV, TVEDIVESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1868,

We certainly are unfortunate this extremely hot
season. In the first place there is the general elec-
tion, which will convert what ought to be the holi-
day season for many into a period of strife and con-
fusion. Besides this some other circumstances
combine to render the present summer a most try-
ing one. The state of the railway world is any-
thing but satisfactory, and the public will have a
practical illustration of the coils of combination in
the increased fares they will have to pay. It will
be remembered that Parliament very properly
refused to sanction the proposed amalgama-
tion of the railways south of the Thames;
hut we meet with an illustration of the
saying, that " a wilful man must have his own
way" in the course now pursued. Determined not
to be entirely outwitted, the Directors have raised
the fares as much as they could under the pre-
scribed limits, and the hardship thus inflicted upon
the inhabitants in these neighbourhoods is of course
consilerable. Those who are in the habit of tra-
velling daily must of course feel the infliction ; but
SO far for the present their complaints are useless,
and they must content themselves with the privi-
-1 y,c of grumbling, which is the last resource of
the i:1-used. Under these circumstances, we
should think that the House of Lords must con-
gratula'e themselves upon having reversed the de-
cision of Ulu House of Commons in this respect.
We have certainly no proof that had the Amalga-
m ttion Bill passed the fares would have been higher
than they are at present, but at the same time it is
open for us to think that they might have been so.
'The unfortunate victims of these augmented fares
will yet find a NENIESIS to avenge their wrongs, for
already there are signs and sytnptOms of discontent
apparent which cannot be called insignificant and
of n, consequence.

In order to understand the nature of the changes
a. tuntion may be given to the communication of a
house agent, whose property is in that part affected
l y the increased fares, and of others who are put to
inconvenience by the change. We hear from him
that already those who let apartments have received
front their lodgers notices of removal, for they can-

RIDING ON A RAILWAY BUFFER.

Dr. Lankester, the coroner for Central Middlesex, held
an inquest, on Tuesday, at the Bank of England Tavern,
Cambridge-place, Paddington, on the body of George
Palmer, 17 years of age, 'who met his death through
riding on the buffer of a carriage while in the service of
the Great Western Railway. George Palmer, father of
the deceased, identified the body. He said his son met
with the accident on Sunday :morning last. He told
witness that he had asked to be allowed to side, and got
into one of the carriages. Whilst he was getting out
another carriage banged against the one in which he was,
and be was jerked off and fell under the wheel. George
Haycock, employed in the goods shed of the above.
mentioned railway, saw the deceased sitting on a buffer of
a carriage. He heard a cry of "Oh 1" and on looking
round he saw the deceased lying on the rail, and the wheel
of another carriage go over him. The speed they were
going at was three miles an hour, so that they were easily
enabled to stop. Henry Brooks, a sleeper boy, similar to
the deceased, said he also saw Palmer riding on the buffer,
which was contrary to the rules. He also saw him jerked
off. Mr. Edward Blackett, house surgeon at St. Mary 4
Hospital, said deceased was admitted about half-past
seven on Sunday morning last. He died on Monday night
from compound fracture of the arm, left leg, and the
breakage of the right thigh. After some remarks on the
disobedience of rules, a verdict of accidental death was
"retuned.

A VISCOUNT SHOOTING WITHOUT A

CERTIFICATE.

Viscount Canterbury has been summoned before the
Marlborough magistrates for shooting without a game
certificate. Some time since Lord Ailesbury, Lord Charles
Bruce, and Colonel Maude were summoned for the offence,
and the Inland Revenue officers afterwards discovered
'Viscount Canterbury to have been of the party, and an
information was accordingly laid against him. Mr. Dwelly
attended from the Board of Inland Revenue. Mr. W.
Q. Merriman, of Marlborough, who appeared for
Viscount Canterbury, said : " I have received a letter
from his lordship on the question, and he admits having
been there shooting at the time. Therefore, I think,
there is no necessity of calling any witnesses. He
delayed the case in expectation of finding a game
certificate, but I believe his game certificate cannot be
found, and I have therefore only to say that I cannot
produce any evidence of his having a game certificate,
and, as the bench has the power of mitigation, to ask
them to mitigate the penalty to the same amoun'
as that paid in a former case." Mr. Dwelly said the
Revenue Office had not discovered any trace of his lord.
ship's taking out a certificate for some time. He had,
therefore, to ask the bench to let the penalty stand at £2O,
and if his lordship could satisfy the commissioners that there
had been an omission on his part, this penalty would be
mitigated. The bench thought the way the matter was
put by the Inland Revenue officer was fair, and gave
judgment for the full penalty.

The Price of Gold.

Tae quotation of gold at Paris Is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 251. 12:,e. per £1 sterling
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
£3 Os. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold is nearly 2-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in Lon-
don.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills
at 60 days' tight was on the last date about IEOI percent.
At this rate there is a profit on the Importation et gold
from the United States.

PIKENIX GAS.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
at the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge, yester-
day ; Mr. J. E. Johnson in the chair.
The report, an abstract of which appeared in
The Sun, was taken as read
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, congratulated the shareholders upon the re-
sults achieved during the half-year. The directors
had continued to offer the most strenuous opposi-
tion to the bill in Parliament, and, with a view of
bringing matters to an issue and escaping from the
serious Parliamentary expenses to which they had
been subjected in maintaining the rights of the
shareholders, had joined with the directors of most
of the other metropolitan gas companies to promote
a bill which embodied the suggestion of the com-
mittee of last Session, by which the companies
would be enabled to form amalgamations among
themselves.

Mr. HORNER seconded the motion, which was
adopted, and the dividends
proposed in the report
were declared.

STATE OF TRADE.

--- 4

BELFAST, April 7.—Flax.—ln the various mar-
kets the supplies scarcely reached an average ; prices
in some instances were barely maintained. Yarns.
—The business transacted has been to a consider-
able extent, with a good healthy demand. A fair
amount of business has been done on Continental
account. Stocks are small. In prices, in some in-
stances, an advance has been realised. Offers have
been declined at the prices of last week. Hand-
loom Linens (brown).—Improvement in demand
has been reported for cambric handkerchiefs. A
good steady demand exists for light and heavy
linens ; prices in some instances have advanced.
Nut much business doing in drills or printing lawns.
Power-loom.—A fair demand exists for roughs, and
cloth for dyeing
and hollands. Improvement in
demand has been reported for diapers ; damasks are
dull of sale; prices of both without change. But
little business doing in drills or cloth suitable for
the foreign clothing trade. A good demand exists
for light linens for bleaching. Operations have been
checked owing to advance in prices having been de-
manded. Bleached and Finished Linens.—llemand
on home account has been of an average character,
and a considerable number of orders has been placed.
Although improvement in Continental trade may
be reported still business has not been on au ex-
tended scale. American advices report improve-
ment th,re, and buyers have appeaaed in the mar-
ket, and have operated pretty freely. Stocks con-
tinue to be held iu narrow bounds ; prices are firm,
with an upward tendency.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

CHANCERY CHAMBERS.
THE EARL OF JERSEY V. DICKER AND YATES.

In this case, which has been before reported, an
application was made to settle the suits in
Chancery. It will be recollected that Lord
•Jersey had obtained an injunction to restrain
the defendants from proceeding on a number
of acceptances given by his lordship, and subse-
quently an application was made by his lordship
that the bills of exchange he had given should be
deposited in Court pending the suit, and the matter
was adjourned to Vice-Chancellor Stuart for the
17th inst. Since then the suit has been arranged
between the parties.

Mr. Lording Vreshaeld and Co.) stated that he
had to apply on The part of Lord Jersey that the
large sum paid into court by his lordship when the
injunction was obtained should be paid out to his
lordship, and that the suit should be dismissed, each
party paying their own costs.
The other side here consented.

Mr. Dalston, for Mr. Dicker, and Mr. Turner,
on the part of the other defendant (Mr. Yates),
attended, and consented.

Chief Clerk (Ur. Charde)—Then the case is
settled ?

➢lr. Ludwig —Yes, sir. All we want is your
order that the sum paid into court (18,100) should
be repaid to the plaintiff.
_ _

The Chief Clerk said he could make the order
subject to the approval of the judge. It was a
matter of course, but he generally sent cases, in
which money had been paid, to the Court.
The order was made merely to be mentioned, and
satisfaction was expressed at the conclusion of the
proceedings.

very freely, at 27s Gd to 273 9d for unclayed, and

Havannah, 34s to 35s Gd. In Wrest India sugar trans-
actions are restricted by want of supplies. Floating,
the terms are 26s for No. 12 Havannah, and 26s to
26s 3d for Mauritius same standard. Refined sugars are
firmer. •

COFFEE.—The market continues very steady, and rates
are well maintained for Plantation Ceylon kinds, which
are in good request ; midding, 75 to 78s per cwt. Native
kinds do not sell readily, but lower offers have not been
taken.

lircE.—There is some inquiry for soft grain, and prices
are firm.

SALTPETRE meets only a limited sale, but holders are
firm.

HEmr.— Clean St. Petersburg is dull at .£3B to £3Blos,
according to quality. Manilla tends in buyer's favour.

well colt, Jolly Tar, North Briton, Miss Croft, and Mas-
querade filly. The Lady Lurewell filly, Cawdor, Lady
Morgan, Miss Hayes, and the Morgan La Faye filly were
only walking. Saxon's are out daily, and amongst them
I notice Vortigern looking and going particularly well.
Wetherell has been busy with Lady Diana, Zisca, The
Don, Black Jemmy, Singapore, Rahab, and the Duke of
Beaufort. I shall look well to our horses engaged at New-
market, and lot you have full particulars in my next re-
port.

Epsom, 3londay.—Armstrong was busy with Spider,
Aurifera, and Diophantus filly. Sherwood gave the same
horses he had out on Saturday three good breathers of a
mile. Nightingall took his to Walton Heath, and the
other strings did but little. Tuesday—ln consequence of
most of our trainers being at Bromley there was very little
doing on the Downs. The horses were generally con-
fined to cantering exorcise. We are sadly in want of raid
here, as our training grounds are getting fearfully hard.
I have not seen Beeswing, but I a.n happy to be enabled
to assure your readers that her lameness was but of a very
slight character, and she will resume work in a day or
two.

LEWES. -On Monday, Ines and Samson, after cantering,
had a gallop of about a mile and a half, but this morning
(Tuesday) 1 did not see Samson out. Ines, after a canter,
had a steady gallop by herself. The two year olds—Young
Fenton, Wanderer, Woful, Workman, Goffinka, Bonnie
Lass, Witchcraft, and Festival—had a canter, and then
went a steady gallop of one mile. The Miss Woolgar colt
generally goes out with the second lot ; he has been doing
some good steady work, and will most likely go to New %
market next week for his match. Black Diamond has not
done much work for some time past, and I should think he
will not be sent to headquarters, as he can have no chance
for the handicap.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation 01 gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 2M. 171 e. per Li sterling.
un cJiaparing- these rates with the English Afint price of
tie. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold is about the same price in Paris ano in London.
the ,;ourse of exchange at islew York on Loudon tor bins
at du days' sight is about 1091 per cent. At this rate tnere
is no profit on the importatiou of gold trona the United
States.

Sir,—Some months back I had an attack of Bronchitis,
which left at times a tickling in my Throat, with other
unpleasant feelings. I was advised to try the BALSAM OF
ANISEED; I did so, and have found very great relief ; it is
most comforting in allaying irritation, andgiving strength
to the voice.
You are at liberty to make use of this as you think pro-
per, and I earnestly hope that others may benefit by it as
I have done.—With many thanks from your obedient ser-
vant, SAMUEL DEAR,

certificates of the utility of his FOOD. J. 0. supplies the
Crowned Heads of England and France and the chief of
the aristocracy. By the use of his " Spanish Meal" any
quantity of birds can be raised.
The, hundreds of thousands of heads of Game reared on
my system during the last ten years proves its utility ; i he
loss from every cause has not averaged three to the hun-
dred. Gapes and Roup (the two most fatal diseases which
attack game) the birds have been and always are free
from. This is attributable to their robust constitution
and excellent condition. Pheasants fed on my food show
their beautiful plumage with hardness and closeness of
feather to the greatest advantage; they cannot be sur-
passed.
The magnificent Foreign and English Pheasants at the
Zoological Society's Gardens, London, and his Imperial
Majesty's Pheasantry at Compiegne and St. Germains, are
fed with my food.

PIICENIX GAS.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
London-bridge, yester-
day ; Mr. J. E. Johnson in the chair.
at the Bridge-house Hotel, London_
The report, an abstract of which appeared in
The Sun, was taken as read

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, congratulated the shareholders upon the re-
sults achieved during the half-year. The directors
had continued to offer the most strenuous opposi-
tion to the bill in Parliament, and, with a view of
bringing matters to an issue and escaping from the
serious Parliamentary expenses to which they had
been subjected in maintaining the rights of the
shareholders, had joined with the directors of most
of the other metropolitan gas companies to promote
a bill which embodied the suggestion of the com-
mittee of last Session, by which the companies
would be enabled to form amalgamations among
themselves.

Mr. HORNER seconded the motion, which was
adopted, and the dividends proposed in the report
were declared.

STATE OF TRADE.

-.- ....

BELFAST, April 7.—Flax.—ln the various mar-
kets the supplies scarcely reached an average ; prices
in some instances were barely maintained. Yarns.
—'['he business transacted has been to a consider-
able extent, with a good healthy demand. A fair
amount of business has been done on Continental
account. Stocks are small. In prices, in some in-
stances, an advance has been realised. Offers have
been declined at the prices of last week. Hand-
loom Linens (brown).—Improvement in demand
has been reported for cambric handkerchiefs. A
good steady demand exists for light and heavy
linens ; prices in some instances have advanced.
Not much business doing in drills or printing lawns.
Power-loom.—A fair demand exists for roughs, and
cloth for dyeing and hollauds. Improvement in
demand has been reported for diapers ; damasks are
dull of sale; prices of both without change. But
little business doing in drills or cloth suitable for
the foreign clothing trade. A good demand exists
fur light linens for bleaching. Operations have been
checked owing to advance in prices having been de-
manded. Bleacl•ed and Finished Linens.--llemand
on home account has been of an average character,
and a considerable number of orders has been placed.
Although improvement in Continental trade may
be reported still business has not been on an ex-
tended scale. American advices report improve-
ment there, and buyers have appeared in the mar-
ket, and have operated pretty freely. Stocks con-
tinue to be held in narrow bounds; prices are firm,
with an upward tendency
