board, which was compelled to put back in consequence of
the gale from the westward, and which anchored on Saturday
morning in the Yarmouth roads, is still windbona, and lm-
able to proceed on her voyage. For an hour or two yester-
day morning the wind was favourable, and blowing rnoder-
ately from the S.E., but suddenly it veered round to the

out the day.—lntelligence has just been received that the
Warspite has lost one of her anchors and chain cables during
the late gales.

LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAY.---011 monday the
half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this railway was
held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, Mr. William
Shadbolt in the chair. From the report it appeared that the
new works were progressing. Fifty-six new carriages on the
line were shortly to be replaced by others of a far better con-
struction. The raising of the remaining £50,000, by the
issue of new shares or bonds, was at present delayed. Com-
pared with the former half-year there was a saving in the
expenditure of £1,376 12s Bd. The balance of the traffic
department was £1,160, a sum too small to warrant a divi-
dend. The passenger traffic showed a decrease of 41,221.
and in amount of £1,635, compared with the preceding half-
year, but the Brighton tolls had increased to £987 13s 3d.
The directors, however, looked with confidence to the future,
when the Croydon, Brighton, and South-eastern lines should.
be in a state of completion. The fares had been reduced to
9d. and ficl.f but no opinion could at present be formed of I";
result of the experiment. 'From the balance sheet it appeared
that, up to the 31st of December, the total cash

egsrs, besides securing 14,000 dollars and other goods to
a considerable value, the property of the state. On reaching
the shore, the unfortunate prisoners were then tied up to a
tree and shot, beginning with the natives, each one being tied
by the inhuman butchers to the dead body of his companion !
On Colonel Gregg remonstrating, as we were informed, with
them, and asking theta if they dared thus to murder a British
subject, they only shrugged up their shoulders, and said, they
would soon see that ! The party then fired, but the first vol-
ley only brought their unfortunate victim on his knees, when
some of the soldiers stepped up and consummated their
bloody work. The other English passengers had their lives
spared, but were detained in custody. Shortly after, a large
sail appeared off the coast;
