As the line had none of 1 that teals WW year, and they had charged this expense to the premed hel‘year, it could only he mad that they charged for smirking which was either for the future or pre sent benelit of the company. (Hear, hear.) If thew espensms had eft Wen charged on this half-year they would have bow Mae le law paid the entire amount of interest on the i Chiletwo Week. He would now refer to a stellate which tolmoed him much pain, viz., the mail award. A sum of 6,0111. hid bens deluded from that which they had cal culated ea the preenling mounts the government contract of MAK a year. Barely they had no right to expect, after the enpinditure on the Britannia-bridge, that the go vermeils. weal have called on them to lower their rates. But web bed been the fact, sad they had great eases to com plain, w that work had cost the company a million, a work which is any other country would have been undertaken by government, and they had obtained that advantage over the company, the seeking to make ouch a reduction was unfair and unhandenne. (Hear,besr.) He would neat refer to a bill which the directors bad introduced in the present session of ;Parliament. He would premise by stating that if that bill was carried it would not he owes wary to call on the company for any ddltional capital. In eollinnetion with their London and North Western allies, they bad applied for a separate entrance into Birkenhead, ' and when they reflected on the subject of the important mineral traffic of the /Jersey, and the time which was occupied In discharging there, which had hitherto been four days, it would be evident that this was tantamount to a redaction of so much of their profit. By the bill they also sought power to increase the tolls on prt of the line, on account of the cost of the tub u la r bridges over the Menai and the Conway. They also sought for power, with reference to their debenture interest, to isms debenture preference stock, guaranteed by their Lon don and North-Western allies ; and when he stated that would now a owing of 10,0001. a year on the first *herr, he thought it would be considered an object worth golug for. With regard to the hotel at Bangor, the directors had always stated their conviction of the newesity of this expenditure, although It was doubtful whether it was an expenditure which, as • cowpony, they ought to incur. That conviction remained unaltered. After the Exhibition, which did more harm than good to their lines, the pleasure traffic to Wales revived, and at Bangor only 166 beds were taken in the town out of the hotels. The directors plan was this:—The company paid the London and North WIMP= • certain price for " haulage" for every train. It was the interest of that company as well ma this to be as full as thwyesnla, for ' they took the traffic to Chester, and this coespley teak it from there. They proposed that for every penes going from the hotel there should be • commission of 26per sent. on the amount of traffic received at the heal statiso. 1 till the hotel people received 7 per seat he their ooney. This would put 70 per cent. into the 0:=1 pests* for all the additional traffic, sad would, WI oast a farthing. Three years ago be (the shairman) ' built a hotel at the terminus at Lowestoft, en the Eastern Counties line, containing 25 beds, and the somber had new Warmed to 100. In the last year it bad heought 17,00 M worth of traffic on the hue. This would them That it we worth the company's while to give • mimes 1118119MNIM Bon to the proprietors of the hotel. It they_agrped to this the stock would, in the first instance, In aired to them e 1 and if they did not wept it there were parties Indy to tithe I it. He had now gone through all the legit el the_repart, and, in conclusion, he would. hi menistima Hat the traffic of the line was as yet ssioislopsd , and was prods* what it was when be first addrumed the thanderia: i bid ho saw nothing is the events which bad Wand * alter the opinions he exorcised on theta:4mM% hisamedidesesand that of his colleagues remained lumbered ; sod while he continued to have their co-operation, aftlasgssially that of his bon. and gallon* friend, Admiral Mee rem, be yet looked forward to the pleasure of seeing all that he had whited out more than folly realised. (Chem.) After one or two questions on matters of Moll in the ae counts had been out and answered by the Chains, Mr. HENMAN proceeded to call attention to the fact that a promise, which he stated had been mode by the chairman last year, th,t the original sharehoklers would have a dividend of 3 per cent., had not been realised ; and the prospect of their having any dividend at all was as far off as pu.sible. He would also call munition to on item in the halanee.aheet which stated that there was a balance in favour of the company of 24,0001. Now, there was no such thing. The directors had credited the revenue account with the whole net amount received fur traffic from the time the line opened on let May, 1818, to 31st December, 1851, but they had not as they ought debited the account with the interest paid on debentures and on preference shares. They had omitted 40,0001. interest paid to holders of preference shares, 58,0001. paid for interest on debentures, besides 60,0001. interest to holders of original shares. There was in last • deficiency of 119,0001., and the balance-sheet was untrue. i The CHAIRMAN said that with regard to the statement of the bon. gentleman on the subject of his promise, he would refer him to the report in the Morning !leak( and to the shoe-hand writer's notes, from which it would appear that be had only said he trusted that daring the year the requisite steps would be taken to develop the traffic, and that in two years from that date the r c a i l , :se n s e / would be in a position to earn 3 per cent. (Hear, hear. Looking to the Holyhead extension, which had been out without paying for the land, and considering that the had received 20,0001. more than last year, of which 17,0061. was attributable to increased traffic, and 3,0001. to diminished expenditure, be thought that he stood fairly before the company as one who had been trying to bring • losing concern from the depths of misery to a remunerative position. (Hear, hear.) After an expla nation with regard to an item in the ac counts by the arountant, in answer to a proprietor, the report was adopted. A dividend of M. 3d. on the Stet preference shares for the half-year, payable on 18th March, was declared. A resolution sanctioning the mistimes of this company in the promotion of a company or partnership to establish an hotel at Bangor, and a contract with such company allow ing them a com missioni on the fares of passengers conveyed on the line to or from the hotel not to exceed 25 per cast. on the fares, and to extend only till the hotel company wears. *riving 7 per cent. on the cost of the hotel, was agreed to. A rumba; ion declaring certain shares forfeited was also passed. The Hon. A. Kinnaird, one of the retiring directors, was then proposed for re-election.

Mr. Lambert was re-elected one of the auditors. A PROPRIETOR suggested that some application should be made to government in order that the Britatuda Tubular Bridge, which had been erected at such a sacrifice to the company, shoull be made a public work, and a par liamentary grant obtained to meet some of the expense... The CHAIRMAN mid that the aninants expended by the company exceeded three quarter. of a million. In 1850 a committee of the House of Commons considered the sub ject, bat did sot recommend any payment of government money. They had, however, given up the 200,0001. the company had spent in Holyhead Harbour, and this year the company was going to parliament to increase the tolls on account of that expense. That bridge made the short route to Ireland the company's own. There was nothing farther to be hoped for from government. A PROPRIETOR inquired whether the original share holders might expect a dividend in twe years. The CHAIRMAN said it was his own individual opinion that there would be a dividend of 3 per cent. in two years. After a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors, the meeting separated. SPORTING.

At the Belfast police-court, on Tuesday, a charge of ill treatment to, and imprisonment of, his wife, was brought against James M'Contieli, a ship broker. From the statement of Mr. Seeds, the complainant's attorney, it would appear that M•Connell, who had been married for thirteen ars, had for the first ft re years treated his wife with kin dness, but that during the last seven or eight years his conduct had totally changed. In Septemb er , 1860, Mrs. M'Cunnell had been compelled to se parate from her husband and reside with her own family ; but an agreement having been entered into between ker and her husband, she had been induced to to his house, where for a short period she met with no ill usage. In May last Mrs. M'Connell wasconfined of • child ; and it was stated that in the room where she was confined there was not • bed—she was obliged to lio on the door of the apartment. The defendant did not send for a doctor, or any other person. For an hour she remained in that condition, without the slightest assist ance, helpless herself, and unable to call for aid ; and it was not until the fortunate arrival of her sister-in-law that she was relieved. The child died in the course of a fortnight. The place had been infested with rate, and Mrs. M'Connell procured some poison, for the purpose of destroying them ; and after the death of the child, the defendant drgged her on one occasion by the hair of the head, a and by the heels, about the room, and told her that if she would not confess that she had administered , poison to the child he would hand her over to the authorities. In addition to this ill-treatment, she was fre quently hasten, and was ultimately confined to a small, dark room of which her husband kept the key. During the pro gress of Mr. Seeds' statement, he was frequently inter rupted by Mr. O'Horke, who appeared for the defendant, and contended that the case of the complainant could not be substantiated ; that there was no evidence to be given in support of the case, eloept that of Mrs. M'Connell, and that her testimony could not be accepted. Mr. Seeds then called Head-constable Henderson, who stated that be went, on Monday last, to the house of M'Con cell, one warrant Issued by Mr. Tracy. He went up stairs, and found Mrs. iCConnidl in a back room on the third story; the room was quite dark ; the window was nailed down in such a manner that the sash could not be pulled up, and a screen was put up before it ; the room was not a garret. The door was not locked, but there was a door on the staircase which had been locked, and this prevented access from Mrs. M'Connell's room to the lower part of the house. Mr. M'Connell had the key of the staircase door. The woman herself appeared in a very dirty state; she was reading her Bible when witness en tered the room. Witness asked her, was she confined there against her will, and she replied that she was. Asked her did she know what day of the week it was, and she replied it was Monday, because she knew the day before to be Sunday, from hearing the church bells ring- heir. She could not tell what day of the month it was. The room was in a filthy sta.e. There was no table in it. She said that her little daughter left her meat for her every day at the room door. There was a chaff bed in the room, upon which she lay ; there were bed clothes upon it, of a very light description, and not at all clean ; there was bat one sheet. The woman's own clothes were very dirty. She was eo weak as to be scarcely able to walk. At the conclusion of the head constable's evidence, Mr. O'itorke submitted that bail should be taken for the de fendant, and the ease transferred to the MIMS. One of the magistrates, however, expressed a wish to have the evidence ' of a medical gentleman, and, in aecerdanes with Shia desire, Surgeon Browne, R.N., was called, and having corrobo rated the description given of the state of the apartment, added:—The room contains under 1,000 cubic feet ; it is eleven feet by nineteen, and nine feet high. A person, whether in sound or in delicate health, would inevitably be injured by confinement in it; there was no provision in if for veatilaties, except by the door, 'apposing it was left open. I examined Kn. M'Cunnell personally. She ap =Wrenn from ill health—the usual effects of Goa t, vin., indigestion, sleeplessness, nervousness, de. Surgeon Browne also stated some perticulars as to the eon ditioa of the room, which are unfit for publication. At the conclusion of Surgeon Browne's elimination, the primer was remanded, in order to gave the magistrates an opportunity of genie( the opinion of the Attorney-Oe u er a l on the admissibility - of the wife's evidence against her husband. EXTRAORDINARY AND FATAL Elijah Brice, a lad aged 15 years, in the emplaymeut of Mr. John Price, farmer, of Rowlstone Court, Herefordshire, met his death under the following extraordinary circum stances, as detailed at the inquest by a fellow servant, a boy about the same age On &today evening, about six o'clock, daring the absence of his master, deceased caught one of the cart colts and put a halter on it. Both boys then went into a meadow with the animal, and deceased having tied a waggon rope to the halter, one end of which he at ' taehed to his own waist, he directed his companion to whip the colt reined. After a time • second colt came up and the other ran away, dragging the unfortunate deceased along, taking him the whole length of the meadow and thr oug h a " brake." after which the rope came untied. On his com p:2=ring up to him, he found him dead.—Herefurdshies DISCOYERY OP SUBTERRANEAN CAVERNS.—A sins pular and valuable discovery has been made at Tcffood Elias, near Chilmark, in this county. The locality has been for many years proverbial for its stone quarries, but a recent incident has led to the dise..very of various cham bers of stone, so nearly resembling the material of which Salisbury Cathedral is built as to induce the supposition that a portion of it at least was obtained from this very spot. The discovery was effected in the following manner. In various hunts the fox has betaken himself to a clump of , lushes, which, for no imaginable use or reason, have long been sufferet to accumulate.

It is plain, however, that the tory party in Ireland are unwilling to let their countrymen rest under the delusion that everything is to be allowed to go on smoothly, and that they ore not to be made to feel that their old enemies have obtained a triumph. As yet, indeed, it is only on the part of the younger and rasher members of the party that any demonstration has been made, but it is hard to say how long it may be confined to them. Nothing could have been more unseemly or insulting than the conduct of the stu dents of Trinity College yesterday. They seemed resolved to revive the old Orange scenes o f riot in their worst phase. As soon as the vice-legal pro cession had passed the college, an Orange flag, with the figure of King William was displayed, and tho police, in attempting to remove it, were resisted. The students, armed with sticks, rushed out in great numbers, and the conflict which ensued wai for some time of such a character as to excite serious alarm among the inhabitants in the neighbourhood. Many of the police were struck down, and severely hurt ; but they succeeded in carrying off a large number of prisoners, who were at once brought before the magistrates at College-street police-otlice, when tho following cases were disposed uf: James Molony, for collecting stones in College-green, for the purpose of throwing Burin the affray, ss.

In the coarse of the night the students renewed the riots two or three times, and several of them were arrested, and will be brought before the magis trates this morning. The venerable and patriotic Lord Cloncurry, who is an extensive landed proprietor in the county of Kildare, has addressed the people of that county in the following terms : An humble, but not the Last sincere of your friends, though retired from public life, thinks it a paramount duty to call your attention to the ad.ln saes for the approaching election. No candidate says a word shout rep. al ; yet is repeal the one thing needful, she only hope for the salva tion or regeneration of your country. It is, I verily believe, the heart-felt desire of sine-tenths of the honest and thinking men of Ireland, dirmant though it be in our misery. But great emphasis seems laid on the subject of religion. Ireland can never prosper whilst any dif ference exists amongst us on that subject, or any desire to interfere with or inquire into the feeling. or opinions of our neighbours. Protection also is is favourite cry, and • very foolish one, which will not lambus the people of England, nor, I hope, my sharp witted countrymen. Wheat we should not attempt to grow—in oats, flax, potatoes, green crops, and cattle, we stand unrivalled. There need be no misunderstanding about tenant-right: the landlord is dependent on the tenant, as the tenant on him; their interests must go together, if either party are to prosper. Cureless and absentee land lords have suffered in these add times as will as their tenants; a mutually beneficial agreement should be made in open court, and enforced. As to the elective franchise, it belongs exclusively to the tenant, and should be protected by the ballot. I never dared to dictate on such • subject ,• the dishonest man who would corrupt our electors would sell his country. Our misfortunes have been greatly en hanced by the dishonest men who, pretending to be re peaters, sold themselves to the ministers fur paltry places, and prevented you from recovering the conatitutiim of 1782. —Your affectionate friend, C LON CV WM.

AN UNFOUNDED RuNotra.—A statement hating been made by the Record to the effect that a considereble number of the members of the congregation of St. Paul's, Brighton, had recently seceded to Romanis . the Brighton Guardian publishes a letter from the Itev.W. Wesley, curate of that church, distinctly denying that there is the slightest ground for the assertion, and showing that " no one single member of the congreg ation of St. Paul's has, either re cently or at any former time, joined the Church of Rome." FATAL ACCIDENT AT HAMPTON-COURT PALACE. —An inquest was held at Hampton-court Palace on Wed nesday, before F. J. Manning, Esq., coroner of her Ma jesty's household, and a jury, composed of the yeomen oSeers of the palaae, on the body of Miss Julia Gordon, a young lady aged 16 years, one of the daughters of Lord Henry Gordon, residing in Hampton -court Palace, who met with her death by the accidental burning of her night dregs.

The Jury returned a verdict of "Acct dental Death." Lady Henry Gordon is an invalid, and safes severely from the streets of ber courageous exertions to says her child. Lowe Sorrow.—A whole family, at Long Sutton, have been nearly poisoned from partaking of a pudding boiled in • pan which had been recently used by a relation for boiling ar.enie. It had been itubiequentty scalded, and this was deemed sufficient to avert any dl effect.. CRUELTY TO A eillt.D.—The particulars of a very melancholy ease of parental cruelty transpired at an inquest held on the body of the sufferer, a little boy named Juba Le Tort, about three years of age, at the Thatched House Tavern, Duddeston-row, on AVednesday evening last. The deceased was the son of William Le Tort, • travelling equestrian, who, together with his wife, the deceased, and another child two years older, had occupied apartments for about a week previously at a beer-house called the Great Gun, and he was being trained by his father to the per formance of gymnastic and other feats peculiar to the pro fession to which the latter belonged. Lc Tort was seen elides souring to make the deceased stand head downwards upon his bands, and each time the poor little fellow failed in doing so, which he did from weakness, his father caught hold of him and shook Lim &evenly, and then dashed him appa rently with great force to the ground. The poor boy was afterwards found extended upou the ground in a dying state, and he expired • few moments before the arrival of Mr. Simons, a surgeon. Le Tort, when spoken to on the subject, seemed much shocked, and said that he via. turn ing the deceased a somersault, and instead of alighting on his feet, as he should have done, he fell upon his lewd, and that canoed his death. This wits the whole of the positive evidence bearing on the care that could be obtained, and the inquiry at this stage was adjourned until the follow ing day, in onler that Mr. Simons might make • post owlets examination. Meanwhile, Ix Tort was taken into custody, and on the re-assembling of the ay, Mr. Simons described • number of 'CT on an Th ari rsd 'inis which lie had found upon various sets of the body of the direascil, who, he said, had been a healthy welldeveloped child, and went on to state that an Internal examination of the head disclosed extensive t ffu• sion of blood on the brain, and about au ounce within the tbeene ;ti e r part of cause of r at e h r , an w i u.tu, produced Ia eff o by s n o , which me e had force or resistance ; and he war also o! opinion that a child of the age of the deceased, hissing such bruises on his body, was not in a proper condition to perform vigorous gymnastic exercises with safety to his life. The fury returned • ver dict of manelaught.r against William Le Tort. On Friday, Le Tort, whose real name turns out to be Fitsmartiu, was mans taken before the coroner, and fully committed to take his trial at the ensuing assiacs.—Birmingham Journal. .N 4f ~, . ,--.. f , - .. z. i.• : S : 4 -;.' • TM.
