According to the report, which was taken as
read, the capital account showed that the total
amount received on consolidated stock shares and
debentures to the 30th June last was £7,442,713,
of which £101,914 was received in the half year.
The total expenditure to the same period in
England and India amounted to £7,256,706. The
gross revenue receipts for the half year earned over
the same mileage as on the corresponding period
of 1867, amounted to £252,056 as compared with
£264,666, and show a decrease of £12,610, of
which £3,192 arises under the head of passen-
gers, parcels, &c., £9,438 under that of mer-
chandise, live stock, and miscellaneous re-
ceipts. With :regard to passengers there
was an increase in the numbers carried of the Ist
and 2d class of 662 and 6,194 respectively, but
owing partly Ito the reduction in the fares referred
to in the last report, the Ist.class receipts show a de-
crease of £298, and the second class an increase of
of £597. There was a falling off in the third-class
passengers, which was attributable to the general
depression and inactivity following upon the
extraordinary inflation and collapse of commercial
speculation in Bombay in the last two or three
years. In the merchandise traffic the falling
off arises principally in cotton and grain. The half-
year's receipts, though actually less in amount,
have increased per train mile from 10s. 3.17 d, to
10s. 9 -93 d. in consequence of the reduction which
was effected in the train mileage to the extent of
50,102 miles. The gross working expenses
amounted to £153,217, showing a reduction of
£3,271 on those of the corresponding period. The
line has been maintained in good order, and the
rolling stock in excellent condition. The net re-
venue amounted
to £98,838 19s. 10d., which
compares with £108,178 Bs. 4d. in the correspond-
ing period of 1867. But from this is deducted the
£57,500 as a special reserve for fencing. The re-
port concluded by referring to a claim of a personal
nature. The R. J. H. Hughes, a devoted and exem-
plary clergyman at Surat, ministered to the spiri-
tual wants of the employes of the company
for a series of years, from the construction of the

There has been a general diminution in barometrical pressure sinco
Saturday, amounting to eight-tenths of an inch on the Irish coast,
where the motion during last night has been rapid. The readings in
Ireland are very low ; between Greencastle and Rochefort the
difference is an inch. Temperature was low yesterday on the N.E.
coast: this morning it is much higher everywhere than it was on
Saturday especially in the S.W. The wind yesterday morning was
generally light to moderate, from S. to S.E. in the Channel and in
Ireland, but it has since blown strongly on the E. coast and at
a.m. morning high winds from the S.E. continue in the
E. and N., whilst a fresh 13. W. wind is reported elsewhere. Rain has
been general, and is still falling in the S.W. The sky is ovorcas'
and the weather looks very unsettled. Warnings to a'l coasts,

The amount of interest guaranteed to share-
holders of all the Austrian railways by the Impe-
rial Government required to be made up is 900,000
florins, and this sum will be submitted to the
Reichsrath by the Finance Minister for their con-
firmation. The steady increase of the railway re-
ceipts year by year is gradually reducing the claims
Oa the Government, and it is hoped that before
long the different lines will prove themselves lade-
Pendent of the State guarantee.
It is notified that the Metropolitan District Rail-
Way between Brompton and Westminster-bridge in
connection with the Metropolitan Railway to Ken-
sington, Paddington, King's-cross, and the City
will he opened for traffic in the course of a few
days. The stations are South Kensington (near
the South Kensington Museum), Sloane-square,
Victoria (adjoining the present Victoria station),
St. James's-park, and Westminster-bridge.

At Dublin, on Friday, Mr. Justice O'Hagan was
sworn in as Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and afterwards was
re-sworn as a member of the Privy Council, pursuant to tla."
present statute.

Prince Arthur has been granted leave of absence
from his military dutios from the 19,h of December, 1868,
to the 2nd of January, 1869. He left Woolwich early on
Saturday morning.

At the meeting of the Para Gas Company
(Limited) a dividend was declared at the rate of
Per cent. per annum.
The thirteenth ordinary general meeting of the
Proprietors of the Alliance Bank (Limited) will be
held on the 21st January.

Mr. Thomas Kemmis, the lately appointed Trea-
sury solicitor in Ireland, is in a very precarious state of
health, having been seizod a day or two ago with an apo-
plectic fit. Yesterday he was no better.

A fifth dividend of I.s. in the pound is payable on
the 22d inst. to the creditors of the Oriental Com-
-lercial Bank (Limited).
Notice is given of the closing of the transfer books
of the East India and Madras Irrigation Companies,
for the purpose of making out the half-yearly inte-
rest warrants.

Sir Richard Mayne, it is said, is somewhat better,
out he is still confined to his house. It is understood
that, acting on the advice of his family and his friends
he will shortly tender his resignation.

A very amusing story has been going the round of
the papers of t!te discussion which took place between
Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright before the latter right hon.
gentleman could be induced to take office. The Manchester
Examiner states, "on good authority," that the story is
altogether untrue.

A special meeting of the Metropolitan District
Railway Company was held on Saturday, for the
purpose of authorising the directors to raise addi-
tional capital by the creation of new ordinary
Mock and shares, for the completion of the works
along the Thames Embankment. It was resolved
to issue 1,500,000 at 20 dis., these shares to take a
preference dividend of 4 per cent.

Four hundred men were imprisoned on Friday in
the Holmes Colliery, near• Rotherham. It happened thus.
About nine o'clock in the morning, when the pit was in full
work, the cage containing sevotal corves of coals was, from
some at present unexplained cause, overdrawn, and one of
the loaded corves fell down the shaft. The accident
it may well be conceived, caused groat alarm both above
and below. Those above set to work to repair tho machi-
nery, and when it was possible to descend the shaft it was
found that the corve had stuck fast some SOO yards from
the top, and that the framework on tho other side was
much damaged. Communication was thus entirely cut
off with the four hundred mon below, who, weary, tired, and
hungry, gathered about the bottom of the shaft in anxious
suspense. It was nine o'clock in the evening before pro-
visions could be passed to them.

The CHAIRMAN, having referred at consider-
able length to the several paragraphs of the
report, stated that upon the whole it appeared to
him that they had every reason to congratulate
themselves upon the condition and working of the
railway, and concluded by moving that the report,
together with the detailed accounts annexed thereto,
be adopted.
The resolution was agreed to.
A resolution to carry out the recommendation of
the directors in respect to the grant of £5OO to the
Rev. Mr. Hughes was also agreed to.
The proceedings closed with the usual vote of
thanks to the chairman and directors.

The Cumberland, Capt. the Hon. A. A. Cochrane,
guardship of the Steam Reserve at Chatham and
Sheerness, has been dismantled, and the whole of
herguns, War Department and other stores, returned
to the Ordnance establishment, previously to being
put out of commission and the crew paid off on the
30th instant. Captain Cochrane has been trans-
ferred to the Royal Naval Barracks, succeeding Capt.
S. S. L. Crofton as superintendent of that establish-
ment, which is now being prepared for the officers
and crew of the Cumberland on that vessel being
put of commission. The charge of the Steam Re-
serve in the Medway will iu future devolve on the
superintendent of Sheerness dockyard, it being no
longer intended to station a guardship of the Steam
Reserve in the Medway.

ANOTHER " REST AND BE THANKFUL."—The
Bury Post, a provincial authority on Ministerial affairs,
says : —"Mr. Bright bears his honours in a singularly
happy way. All the signs of nervousness and sharpness
of thought, of irritability, and restlessness, which have
characterised him almost as long as I can remember, seem
to have left him. His face is in smiles and his manner
quite hearty. It is as though the anxiety of his life was
at an end. The storms of agitation have died away. lie
has no roformo left to fight for."
