Portant partof the sentences of courta-marshal will be drily and effectually car ri ed out. Offenders sentenced to ins pr,onesent, and who are also to be marked with the letter 0, will, therefore, in all eases be committed to a military Lrierni, in order to ' this part of their sentence being inflicted. This rule applies equally to all deserters so sentenced, whether the indi v id ua l i s u lti ma t e ly to be discharged the 'mice or not, although such prisoners may not bo liable to be retained in the military prisons for a longer Period than may be deemed sufficient to render the Mark indelible. Soldiers, however, wko are to be marked with the letter D and sentenced to transportation, without Previous imprisonment, or belonging to corps stationed in districts where there may not be a military prison, are to be so marked at their regiments, as heretofore. le order to ascertain how far a permanent impression has bf co obtained, a record is to be kept at the prima, showing the date on which the offender is marked, and the state of the mark when he quits the prison, and reports thereon are _, th he made pe ri odically to the War-office from the several ftulitary prisons.

The ordinary general halt-yearly in;eTing of this company was hill yesterday, at the fusion station. S. M. PET.), Esq., M.P., in the chair. After reading the advertisement convening the meeting, affixing the seal of the company to the list of sharcholders, and continuing the minutes of the last meeting, the report of the dirictote was read us follows: —...--. . " Although the returns of the Chester and Ilolyhesd ltailway during the half-year under review have fallen far short of those which its natural traffit when fully brought into operation is calculated to yield, the directors are still of opinion that, as time has not been allowed for the comple tion of the works and arrangements which arc Essential to the development of the real capabilitiks of the line, the fol i lowing comparative statement, abusing the earnings of the railway anti steam boats during the first six inouths of 1830 and 1851 respectively, together with the amount of working expenses by which those results were severally attained, may be rewarded as satisfactory "For the half-year ending 30th June, 18.50:—Railway re ceipts, 57,4811. 31. 10th.; expenditure, 31,637/. 10x.64.; profit, 21,8131. 15.. 4d.

"The question of remuneration for Irish mail service performed previously to the op..ning of the Britannia bridge, from which date the contract with the Post-efllce, concluded in 1841, came into operation, has at length been settled, with the eeeption of two months at the commen ce- went of the period in question, by a reference from the arbitrators to the umpirago of Mr. J. A. Roebuck, whose award gives the company—fur single mail, from 30th September, 1 , 48, to 18th June, 1849, and double mail, from the latter date to 2:nli March, 1840, 28,1251., which sum, although considerably above the estimate of the go- Verna:lent arbitrator, is below the present contract rate. The works on the original contracts arc now being com pleted, and the directors being desirous of finally arrang ing the capital account, have instructed the engineers and accountant to take the necessary steps to that and. Of the new works adverted to in the last report, the extension at Holyhead has been most satisfactorily finished below the estimatt 1 coot, and a goods station is now in courac of for mation, which, with the new passenger atation, will enable the company to afford better accommodation to the public, with greater advantage to the railway. The arrangement made with respect to the.Carnarron Railway having been entered into with private individuals, who have since been incorporated into a compan_y, under act of parlia ment, it is neveasaryi as a matter of form, that the contract should now be confirmed by both companies, and your sanction it sought for accordingly. The report of Mr. Lee, the resident engineer, upon several of the matters adverted to iu the foregoing paragraphs, is appended fur your in formation. The revenue account shows a balance at the 30th of June last of 31,3481. 19e. From this sum must he deducted 24,7611. 19s. tid., being the interest paid upon debentures on the 10th of July last, leasing a net balance of 6,596/. 190. Gd. available for dividend on the preference shares ; and your directors recommend that a dividend of as. Id. on these shares be declared aceortlinly. Mr. John Lambert having resigned his seat at the boird, the directors have elected in his stead lir. Reynolds, of Cocd-du, in the county of Flint, with a view to the benefit of the under taking from the local knowledge and influence of that gen tkman. Mr. Philip Ilanhury having resigned, the share holders are called upon to elect an auditor in his place." The ENGINEEILN report was also read as follows:—" I beg to report fur your information that the extension of the railway for the passenger traffic to the pier at Holyhead is now completed, and I am proceeding with the erection of the stage for the accommodation of the goods and cattle traffic, which I hope will be ready in November next. One of the coal shipping machines is now at Holyhead, and will be fixed in the course of a month fur the coal traffic. 'the works of the Bangor and Carnarvon Railway are in a for ward state, au.' the line as far as I'ort Ilinorwig will be opened by the end of January next for the slate traffic, and the other portion to Carnarvon about the beginning of April. The works of the branch railway to Port l'enrhyn for thu carriage of slates from Colonel l'cnnant's quarries are now in a forward state, and will be completed and toady for traffic by the end of next month. The permanent way and works of the main line and branch railway arc in good order and condition." The CllAntal:lN in moving tha adoption of the report and account said that they would and from the report that a considerable increase bad been made during the last half year in the receipts of the Company. Looking to the fact that the increase was proceeding in the same ratio since the accounts had been made up, he contemplated during the current half-year run increase of 20,0001. over the COM sonding period of lust year ; and seeing that the increase had been obtained al.thouah all the resources of the line had not been fully developed, they bad every reason to believe that the concern would become a profitable rind prosperous one. Wish respect to the traffic with Ireland, it was clear that the whole of the traffic to the south, and a great portion of the traffic to the northern parts of Ireland must be carried on by the Company, because the route by Liverpool occu pied 20 hour:, while by Holyhead the time was 131 hours, giving a great advantage to their line over that by way of . Liverpool. During the half-year the directors had succeeded in extending the railway to Holyhead, and had provided every comfort and convenience for the passengers. The traffic with Wales had fallen off this year from the fact of a great number of persons from that locality going to the Exhibition. having seen the able management of Mr. Roney on the Eastern Counties Railway he had scut that gentlentan to Inland to make inquiries and arrangements with respect to the booking of through traffic from Holy head to all parts of Ireland. By the middle of November they would have every accommodation for carrying on their trutlie to any extent with Ireland, and great results must Necessarily follow. He was happy to say that they might expect a large increase of their slate traffic from Wales during the next year, and that their line was in the hest working order. They were in unity and harmony with the North Wotan Railway ; at the same time they were perfectly independent of that company. Thee would this year be able ,to pay the preference stock, and their present position was most satisfactory. (Cheers.) Admiral MOORSOM seconded the adoption of the re port, which, after some discussion, was agreed to. The CHAIRMAN their moved that a dividend of 3s. Id. be declared on the preference shares, to be paid on the Ist of October—Agreed to. A I'ItOPRIETOR moved that Mr. J. Lambert be ap pointed auditor of the company in the room of Mr. Ilan bury, resigned. Another P ROPRIETOR proposed that Mr. C. Henmau he appointed auditor. On reference to the register it was found that Mr llen man did not possess 20 original shares, which he must have to be eligible for the position of auditor. Mr. Lambert was therefore elected auditor. The meeting was then made SPECIAL. The CIIAIRNIAN said that the special meeting had been called for two purposes. The first was to consider the terms and conditions of the resolution of the general meet ing of the 18th March, 1841, as to additional capital and preferential shares, and, if deemed expedient, to vary or rescind such resolution, or any part thereof, and to create other shares in lieu of those thereby created, and to make arrangements with holders of such shares for effecting the purposes above mentioned. The second was, to consider and authorise the making a contract with the Bangor and Cimarron Railway Company fur working and using their railway and the maintenance and repair thereof and as to the traffic passing along the some and the Chester and Holyhead Railway. The chairman concluded by moving the following resolution : " 't hat the directors be and they are hereby authorised to enter into and execute a contract, with the Bangor and Carnarvon Railway Company, for allowing them the through transit of traffic brought to and from their line over the Chester and Holyhead Railway, to the effect of the resolution of the general meeting of the 30th August, 1840." The resolution having been agreed to, A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the business of the day. SHREWSBURY AM) BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY. Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the Lion Hotel at Shrewsbury ; Mr. 0. 0011 E, M.P., in the chair. The bon. gentleman was accompanied by Mr. Butt, Q.C., of the Western Circuit, as his legal adviser. The abstract of accounts showed that the entire expendi ture on capital account has been 1,336,2271. 16e. ltd., and the receipts, including 135,0001. on preference shares, and 42,7001. has been 1,333,0001, leaving something under 4,0001. owing under the head sundries. The receipts for the hut half-year savants to 14,827!., and the expenditure about 14,8001. The dividend due to the preference share holders is to be pee eat of the sum properly accruing to the class A shareholders km their eveiribution to the Stour Valley. After this smell babas" will be left ; but there is a year end halls dividied die to the class A shareholders, which must be paid Wan any dividend can be made on the original stock. The shier points of the directors' report appeared in the Espeweeperiteeday. la the course of the afailimf.' report there was the fol lowing passage : " We have gone into the appropriation of the expenditure of both accounts, with the assistance of Messrs. Quitter and Ball, professional accountants, and we ' believe the same to be correctly made, with the exception of the amount under the head of ' Extraordinary Ex penses,' 2,5631. 12s. ad, charged to capital, which we are of opinion should be charged to revenue as an expense in curred professedly for the protection of the traffic of the company, and having nothing to do with the construction of the line. The first preference dividend paid, amount ing to 1,447/., having been erroneously charged to capital, ha, been transferred to revenue. The directors appear to have sold 1,829 A shares, and 3,216 11 shares, amounting in the aggregate to 31,6141. 6s. 9d., which has been duly cre dited in the cash book of the company." The CHAIRMAN said—Very few words are necessary from me after the detailed statement of our proceedings, which has been made to you in our report. I confess, how ever, that I address you under the most unpleasant feelings of regret and anxiety • it must at all times be more con genial to the feeling,' Of a chairman and board of directors to be able to offer a dividend to his proprietary ; it so happens that on this occasion we are not in a position to do so. I regret this extremely, but at the same time, I am in no way surprised at this result ; the extensive litigation we have had to encounter, and into which we have been forced, bas brought upon us expenses 6f such a character as to render the declaration of any dividend impossible. This litigation ea has been carried on much against our inclination, and it is a le I source of much regret to me that we have not yet conci liated the parties with whom we have had to deal, 1 4 1 and I must say that I can only attribute this to the con dust of the London and North-Western Company. A IL statementhas been recently made by the chairman of that st company, which, with all my respect for him, I must say N is inaccurate when he says that the act of parliament 40 for the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway was oh fhb - tained under the auspices of, and in itessiniew with, the io London and Birmingham Railway. I deep that poWjon altegither. It i true that when we first applied for our as act we had the full support of the London and Birmingham Company. 1 suppose Mr. Glyn refers to that; but it e ” must be recollected that when the assistance was given to us 1, on that occasion, the London company stood alone—it had y e simply its hue from London to Birmingham ' and they were unxious, in connexion with us,to proceed further westward,for that reason we were opposed by Mr. Moss and the Grand et. Junction Company. Unfortunately, on that occasion our it!, I bill was thrown out, and the mat session, when we again 4. 4 went before parliament, the London and Birmingham Cum- y e pay had purchased the Grand Junction line. the result it. was, that we had the decided oppoeitiou of the London and 17 North-Western Company. Although before they had the 16 continuous line to Liverpool, they were anxious to get zt sown into the west by means of our railway. Therefore, is Mr. Glyn is in error when he says that our act was 20 was obtained in connexion with the Lender' and 20 North Weetern Company. There is another point in 40 the hon. gentleman's speech of a most extraordinary t e l t ! character; a very large sum is curried over as a reserved k fund to enable the company to conduct its litigation. ee Now this company is poor; they are rich and power- to tut, and it is a most unfortunate thing for us or for 10 any little railway, that we should be iu a position to be at borne dean in such a manner; however, if the share- V holders in the London and North Western Company are t o content to receive :5 per cent. instead of 10, we cannot help et, it, although the misfortune is none the less for our share- si holders. Our report is so lengthy that I have nothing M ime to say ; I hope that at our next meeting the directors r t. will be able to report our affairs in a more prosperous state. so I now move that the report be adopted, printed, and circa- 2,5 lated. fx The Hon. It. H. CLIVE, M.P., seconded the motion. Mr. BEALE, of Birmingham, here handed the following it. protest to the chairman : 21 10 " We, the undersigned shareholders in the Shrewsbury is. and Itinninghum Railway, do hers by protest against retire- 10 ment t lection, or re.election of directors, at the ordinary 0 0 haltvearly meeting which is inconsistent with or otherwise than in conformity with, and upon the basis of, the several 7;; . resolutious passed at the adjourned special and ordinary 23 'settings of the proprietors of this company iu the months es of April and May last. And we further protest against all 141 I and every of the acts of the persons since, andnow, assuming 9 1 1 to act as the directors of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham V, Railway Company, inasmuch as no legal board has since been summoned, or which after the passing of the said re- tail solutions had power to act as the duly constituted and op- 20 pointed board of the company. And we further protest 19 against the appropriation of any part of the moneys received 1 0 ., by or due to this company from the Stour Valley Railway Company to the payment of dividends on Preference shares, or to the application of the said moneys to any other purpose to titan the payment of a dividend to class A shareholders.— 23 John Webeter, Robert Scott, W. R. Collie, Henry l'iuches, 16 John Cliesshire." se After a lengthy and rather angry discussion, se The motion for the adoption of tho report was put and so carried. et. A motion was then made by Sir R. LEIGHTON, to the el effect that a sum of 2,563 i., which the directors had charged . 2 ! to capital account, should be charged to revenue account. " This inotiou was in compliance with the recommendation of the auditors. It was put from the chair ' and negatived. so Mr. of ShrewsSury, nest moved that a %um of 3,8191. undisposed balance should be appropriated in the eel payment of Is. Gd. per share to the holders of Class A than R. • This motion having been put by the CUAIIIMAN was also &elated to be lost. On the question of the election of retiring directors being brought forward, _ Captain 1' ROBYIf, a director, said that he was not a 202 candidate for re-election ; that ho was opposed to the con- ui duct of the majority of his colleagues at the board, and that having been re-elected by the shareholders at a meet- 50 ing some time since, he should not submit to another election. Mr. WALKER, a director and Mayor of Wolverhamp. ton, then moved the re-election of Messrs. Perks and u Balmy on the part of Class B shareholders ; and to com plete the number at the board to which the shareholders au were in his opinion entitled (under the act of parliament) 25 he elm) nominated Mr. F. Barlow, a director of the 1 3i Great W,st.:ru Company, to fill a seat at this board.— 3l Carried. - IS( - Mr. BADGER, another director, moved the election of 10 Meson. Knox, A. S. Phillips, James Baird, 151. P., Charles ai Emery, and Captain T. Buckley (of the Great Western di rection), to rei,reseut Class A shareholders at this board.— 10 Carried. 60 The CHAIRMAN intimated that the Great Western u Company . would admit two members of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham board on their direction. All the newly-elected directors are friends to the Great 10 Western alliance. Mr. KOI3ER 61 T SCOTT protested against the election of 61 all; and animadverted strongly on the conduct of the board (I tor presuming to nominate w:rsons to till up vacancies in 12 the direction. It was quite evident (he said) that the whole batch elected had been concocted in the board-room. 95 The meeting terminated with thanks to the chairman and board a directors. GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN (IRELA.ND). The half-yearly meeting of the directors and pro prietors of this company was held ou Wednesday at the terminus in Dublin, when the chair was taken by Sir Eow.tuv SI'DoNSEL, chairman of the company. The report stated that the accounts for the half-year ex hibit an expenditure of 25,9191. chargeable to capital. This amount comprises an item of 6,6921., the balance of final account fur the erection of station buildings, and another of 6,908/. outstanding payments for purchase of land. The remaining sum, 12,3181., is the amount expended on works along the liuc during the half-year. The directors of the Killarney Junction have, during the past session of parlia ment, obtained an amendment of their act, which reduces the amount of their shares from 241. to 151. each, and dimi- et. sidles the liability of this company from 100,0001. to 60,0001. So of which a sum of 18,5001. has been already advanced. It Ls. also conta ies borrowing powers and clauses for the acquisition of land of so advantageous a nature as cannot fail to result in the speedy resumption and completion of its works. The to directors are to strongly impressed with a coutietiun of the et. benefits which the extension of a railway communication to 16 Killarney would confer upon the undertaking, that they can- . not hesitate to advise the immediate adoption of such race- " lures as will enable the company to fulfil its pecuniary en- to gagements with the Kilhuncy Junction Railway Company. There bas been an increase an the receipt for passengers 16 over the corresponding period of last year of 4,0051. ;in 117 goods, of 3,550/. ; and in cattle, of 299/. ; and that the " tonnage of goods conveyed over the lino has increased by es 15,000 tons. The working expenses present an apparent in crease of 1,7931. This item, however, is the cost of work ing the Irish South-Eastern branch line; but, as the COM paar has received a sum of 3,1271. for that service, the worasng expenses of the main line have, in fact, bean re duced by 1,3921. The directors will spare no exertion to lessen the expenditure in every department, so far as it can be done consistently with the efficient working of the line and the proper accommodation of the public. The accounts for the half-year present • disposable balance of 40,979/., 1 out of which the directors proposes a dividend at the rate of 31 per cent. per annum, or ltie. 3d. per share, leaving a ba lance of 551/. 18s. 4d. to be carried to the credit of the en suing half-year's account. Resolutions adopting the report, declaring the rate of di vidend which it recommended, and re-electing the retiring directors and auditor, were passed unanimously, and the meeting separated. EAST LINCASUIRE RAII.W.VT.—The directors are about to construct mai complete the Bacup branch of this line.

THIS DAY Two o'CLocc. The market for the home funds has worn a heavy appearance to-day, and the quotations at present rul ing show a decline of though business has been done at a still further decline. The backward movement is entirely owing to some rather considerable sales of money Consols, which have been effected at 96. The operation of the government broker, being restricted, 1a; exercised little counteracting effect. The transactions in other government stocks during the week have been more extensive than usual, and yrius rendered more irregular, in conso quence of the approaching shuttinlF of the transfer books; and as the Reduced fhrees arc already closed, and the 'Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. will be shut this day, the business in this market will be mainly restricted to Consols till the middle of next month. The general feeling of the market, it may be noted, is now rather better. Consols opened 96,1 for money and 961 buyers for account, and are now called 9t to I for cash, and 961 to for the 14th of October. The following are the prices of to-day's business, as officially given : Three per Cent. Consols, NI, 3, 96; ditto for account, 96,!, 1; New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 981, 1. South Sea New Annuities, 951; ditto Three per Cent., 1731, 951. Bank Stock, 2161, 215 t. The market for the unfunded debt is characterised by a quiet business, and no feature of novelty, Ex chequer Bills remaining at their late rate of 435. to 48s. prem. India Bonds, however, arc a shade firmer, and the small amounts have been bought Is. higher, at 30s. to 335. prem. Foreign stocks of all descriptions arc exceedingly quiet to-day, and no quotable change in prices has occurred, the transactions being of the most routine character. Mexican bonds have ruled at 27 to 1, large operations being for a time suspended. To-day's business list embraces the undermen tioned descriptions only :—Danish Five per Cents. 102 cx div. Mexican Bonds, 271 ; ditto for ac count, 16th Sept., 27, 1. Portuguese Four per Cents., small bonds, 324, 334. Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 101. Spanish Active Five per Cents., 201. Further important intelligence received in the City to-day from Australia, regarding the discovery of gold at Bathurst, will be found in another part of this day's impression. 'lle state of the Argentine Confederation has ex cited the deepest interest in the minds of the bond holders and the merchants connected with that dis trict. The change of diplomatic agents at this moment is by some considered unfortunate, but it is urged that, at all events, the Hon. Captain Core, the new minister at Buenos Ayres, should be charged to look after the claims of the bondholders, and obtain their distribution among the several provinces of the confederation. This becomes the more necessary, as the throwing open the navigation of the interior will divert customs duties from Buenos Ayres to the inland custom-houses. It is therefore hoped the sub- committee for Buenos Ayrean Bonds, will obtain Lord Palmerston's intervention on this head. The news received by the last packet is decisive and important. On the 19th of July, the forces of Corrientes and Entrerios, under General Urquiza, forded the middle Uruguay in three columns, and entered the Banda Oriental, when the opposing forces immediately fraternised, and General Oribe fled beyond the Rio Negro, upon which the forces of General Urquiza and of Brazil were marching. All the Banda Oriental between the Uruguay and the Rio Negro is already in the power of Urquiza. On the other side the Governor of Corrientes, at the head of another army, is at Bajada, threatening to cross the l'arana to Santa Fe, where Itosas has his ally disposable force. The Brazilian admiral was ranging the Parana and Uruguay at his wid. At the last dates Roses seemed quite powerless, without troops, without a general, and without co-operation. It therefore seems that the first step has been taken in a revolution which, by throwing open the naviga tion of the Parana, of the Uruguay, of the Paraguay, and of the whole basin of La Plata, will exercise most wonderful influence on trade and navigation. The market for American stocks remains extremely quiet, and prices present no feature. Messrs. D.

The number of miles open in 1831 was 3,7981, and in 1850, 3,6541, showing an increase of 144 miles, or 31 per cent. The aggre gate average return per mile per week was, in 1851, 631. 2s. 2d., and in 1850, 56/. 2s. ld., so that the difference remains in favour of the present rear to the extent of 71. per mile per week. In this in crease all the great lines have participated, the ex pansion, however, continuing to be most marked In the London and North Western, South Western, Great Western, South Eastern, and Great Northern. It is satisfactory to notice that the Mid land receipts at length again show an increase as compared with last year, and it does not appear that this has been produced by any occurrence of an ex traordinary character. The commencement of the shooting season may be noticed as having increased the receipts of most of the northern lines. The London and North Western return is swelled by the Warwick races, and the Great Western and the Bristol and Exeter, by , the great half-yearly cattle fair at Bristol.

SMITHFIELD MAItKET.-THIS DAY. The number of Beasts is large, but the majority is of very inferior quality, consequently choice ones are quite as dear as on Monday; trade, however, is remarkably dull for all other kinds. Good Sheep arc not very plentiful, trade is brisk fur them at fully Monday's quotations. We have now but a small demand fur Lamb, the season is nearly over. Good Calves maintain their price ; middling ones arc very unsaleable. From Germany and Holland there are 740 Beasts, 2,890 Sheep, 3SO Calves, and 60 l'igs; Spain, 59 Beasts; Scotland, 30; 250 from the Northern and Midland; and 98 mulch Cows from the name Counties. _ _ .... __ ______.

DEEP-SEA SOUNDINGS.—In the course of the re cent session of the United States Association for the Ad vancement of t3e3enee, it was stated in one of the papers that not less than a thousand vessels were now out engaged in making observations on the depth of the sea. As showing that the bottom of the oceans is as uneven or rugged, if not more so, than the face of the earth, it was also mentioned that the United States ship Albany measured the Gulf of Mexico, and found the lower part to be about a mile deep, but that another vessel found in the sea, along the southern shore, a depth of five miles, and afterwards, within a short distance, she found bottom with a lino of a quarter of a mile. 272 3,622 li a d 41 id P t 774 9 pm 491 7 dis 131 i d ICI 4 27 U ill ii 12 i 174 I a d
