The body of another of the four unfortunate pupils of Mr. Taylor, of Stratford-house Academy, whose deaths by drowning we reported yesterday, was recovered yesterday morning, opposite Kemp-town, a distance of about three miles from the site of the accident, and Mr. J. A. Freeman, deputy-coroner for the borough of Brighton, held me inquest on the body yesterday afternoon, at the Compton Arms Inn, Dyke-road, near the above school, to which the deceased bad been conveyed on being found. The first witness called was Mr. Frederick Taylor, the schoolmaster, who deposed that he was bathing with the boys, eight in number, when the accident happened, at a quarter before 8 o'clock on Wednesday morn ing. Winn he last saw the deceased in the water it was about as high as their waists, and they were about five yards from him. He did not miss them tall he had come out of the sea, and was wiping hire self ; and then he thought they had gone along the beach to where there was great commotion caused by another boy, not connected with therm, being taken out of the water nearly drowned. Having dressed himself he went to the scene of the other amident, and while looking for his miming boys thinking they were with the crowd of others, one of them, William Drewitt Bottomley, was thrown upon the beach by the waves. That was the first clear knowledge he had of their being drowned. Witness then called upon those who were around to assist him in the search ; and the interval between this time and when be last saw the deceased alive—when they were playing in the water, jumping up and down—was about ten minutes. In reply to the coroner, Mr. Taylor said the sea was not so rough as to make him apprehensive of danger, and Le and hie pupils had bathed in a rougher sea. He accounted for the accident by saying that the tide was coming in freshly, the waves in creasing in else as they rolled in ; and he believed that the deceased, as they were accustomed to do, stopped to meet an advancing wave, and were carried off their legs. They were out some distance from the beach, the tide being low, but were about five rds only from the dry sand. Wit ness said he always bathed with them himself, and his reason for bathing from the open beach instead from a machine was that he bad a better oversight over the boys. He heard no cry for help, and. everyone. atten tion was directed landward at the time, owing to the first-mentioned accident, and not seaward; and it was difficult to arouse attention to the loss of his boys when he missed them and asked for help in the search for them. In answer to • question from a juryman, Mr. Taylor amid the boys were on the sand, but he perceived no hole in it. A pupil of Mr. Taylor's, named Arthur James Hansom, who was bathing with the decesaed, within a few yards of them, corroborated him. He heard no cry for help, and did nut hear them when he spoke to them express any fear of danger. They bad all bathed when the sea bad been rougher. The last that he saw of them TM when they were playing in the water, and he was sure they were not struggling in it. They were missed while he and the others were dressing, and it was thought they bad gone along to where the other accident bad happened. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death," and exonerated Mr. Taylor from any charge of neglect in the matter. Au inquest on the bathos of the two lads which were previously found was held last evening at Hove, before the county coroner. The same witnesses were examined, with the addition of the evidence as to the finding of the bodies. The missing body, for the recovery of which a reward of 10/. is offered, is that of John Dann, who is the lOU of Mr. Thomas Tully Dana, of Nutfield, Surrey.

THE CHOLERA. The cholera still goes on decreasing, although Jowly. On Wednesday the deaths from cholera were 22, and from diarriluea 22. On Tuesday the numbers were 31 and W. The following is the classified returns : West districts Cholera. Diarrhoea. North districts ...... ..... 1 Central districts .... ..... Fast districts 22 South districts 6 Total in London Yesterday the Mansion-house committee was specially convened by the Lord Mayor to meet the Bishop of London, who, as the principal almoner of a large fund collected under his auspices for the relief of the distress consequent upon the visitation of cholera, bad invited a conference withMansiondiouse authorities upon a matter in which they and the committee of which the right rev. pre late is at the head, were supposed to be equally interested in administering the public bounty ; the Lord Mayor occupied the chair.—The Bishop of London said an im portant point had arisen in the administration of the fund at his disposal, via, whether some portion of the money should be expended for the benefit of convalescents. It was a great reason for thankfulness that the disease was subsiding, and they trusted that by God's blaring it would continue to subside. La order that he might be in possession of the feelings of the clergy of his diocese on the subject of convalescents, he had written to many of them who had been hard at work in relieving the distress in the districts where cholera had prevailed. One or two preliminary questions seemed to suggest themselves. First of all, it had been asked whether it was necessary to take any steps at all with reference to convelescenta, or whether when a man who had had cholera and was recovering, on being discharged from • hospital, would not be able to go about his work in • short time. One of the clergy who had interested himself in a hoepital at Wapping, stated that by the kindness of the parochial authorities there, the patient. had generally remained so long that they were really cured when they left the institution, and that in point of fact the hospital might be supposed to provide for convalescents, as well as for those actually suffering from the malady. That, however, appeared to be the feeling of one clergyman alone. He gathered rather from a state ment of a gentleman connected with the London Hospital, that when persons recovering from cholera left the hos pital they were not in a condition to return to their ordi nary work, and that it was necessary to provide against a mooed attack of the disease. Miss Marsh had done a great deal of good in connexion with the London Hospital, in taking convalescents from the institution to • tempo rary home in the country. Those who were of opinion that it was necessary to make some provisions for con , ?elements on leaving the hospitals seemed to be divided I in opinion as to whether or not it was better that that should be done by individual efforts, that was, by persons who were interested in convalescents paying their expenses and sending them down to the country to friends, or finding here and there • cottage in which they could be received, or whether there should be some com bined effort to provide a large building in which some considerable number of those convalescents could be accommodated. He thought he was right in stating that these who advocated the latter course were influenced, not so much by the exigency of the present emergency, as by a feeling that on similar visitations, whether of cholera, typhus fever, or any other of the scourges so frequent in London, • great want was always experienced of the means of providing for convalescents. The existing accommoda tion was by no means adequate to meet the wants of the more destitute parts of London in that respect. He found there wa: a strong opinion among the clergy that it would be • great blessing if a large hospital could be established for the reception of convalemente from cholera in the first instance, and afterwards generally for convalescent. from other diseases. He had only to add that he and the gen tlemen with whom he acted wished to be guided by the best possible advice. Unlike the Mansion-house commit tee, they had not opportunities of consulting medical men or of eliciting the opinions of the local authorities who came there from day to day. One plan had suggested itself to his mind as perhaps, the most practical. Many benevolent in dividuals were interesting themselves in this matter. One lady in particular, Miss Marsh, has secured accommoda tion for a limited number of convalescents at Walton-on- Thames, and at other plates. Another lady, Mrs. Glad stone, had taken a house at Clapton, where convalescents had been already, and were still being received. Other movements; of the same kind were on foot, and perhaps the wisest course for his committee to adopt would be, without troubling themselves about establishing any insti tution for the express purpose, but allowing the zeal of those various benevolent persons to take its course,to grant a certain sum of money in proportion to the number of convalescent cases that might be brought forward. (Hear, hear.) But all those were points upon which this com mittee would be glad to have the advice of that of the Mansion-house.—The Lord Mayor thanked the bishop for his presence and speech.—After other gentlemen had spoken on the motion of Dr. Clark, a resolution was passed in effect that it was expedient for the Mansion-house com mittee to make some special provision for the temporary relief of convalescents from cholera. It was also resolved in substance, on the motion of Sir Mordeunt Wells, seconded by Mr. Tilsion, that it was desirable that the Mansion. house and the Bishop of London's committees should co operate with the local committees and clergy in carrying out the object proposed. Dr. Saunders, the superintendent medical adviser to the City of London Union, has reported to the board the result of a house to house visitation in the union by medical visitors, for the fortnight ending the 23rd August. The chief portions state :—Between the 11th and 25th of the present month 457 houses have been inspected by the four '• medical visitors" appointed in accordance with the provisions of the 4th clause of the regulations of the Privy Council, dated 20th July, 1866. These houses are inhabited by 3,046 adults and 2,204 children, giving a total of 5,2./0 persons living in 2,185 rooms, being an average of 2 3-5 to each room. The daily statements sent in to me are of so startling a nature—revealing as they do a condition of things which ought to be known and reme died without an hour's delay—that I am constrained to lay before you an epitome of the facts brought to light by the zeal and indefatigable exertions of the gentlemen to whom has been committed this fatiguing and dan gerous duty. If any argument needed to justify these appointments, it will be found in the circumstance of the appalling amount of filth and disease-engendering neglect which is seen to pervade house after house in some districts in the very heart of the City of London, and which appears totally unknown to the authorities for removal of nuisances within the City, so far as I can learn from a report presented to them by their medical officer, dated the 14th August, 1866, wherein no mention is made of the existing state of the said houses, although we are informed that 480 houses have been inspected during the last fort night ;" this leads to one of two conclusions—either that the so-called "inspections" hare been of the most super ncisd and useless character, or that the said house in• spection, as understood by the nuisance removal autho. nties, is a very different process to that thorough and real investigation which has been so fearlessly and efficiently performed by your own medical visitors. You will observe also that overcrowding exists to • fright ful extent in several instances : thus, the returns show 53 person* in 8 rooms. 40 in 7 rooms, N in 2 rooms (7, Curriers•-row), 15 in 2 rooms (Huggin-lane), 21 people in 6 rooms, where s school is kept, luring 10 children in addi tion during the daytime, am., and so on, in the proportion of 6 persons to a room. Since my appointment on 31st July last, nine cases of cholera, of which three died, and 612 cases of diarrhoea, all of which recovered, have been reported. These numbers include not only paupers and all persons applying to your district mediral officers for relief by night or day, in conformity with instructions issued by my advice, but also the returns of private melt. cal practitioners within the City of London Union. Re verting to the subject of disinfectants, I desire to acknow ledge an error in toy first report, dated 4th August, 1866, in which, in my instructions for making chlorine gas for the purposes of fumigation, &e., I omitted to direct theaddi tion of the black oxide of manganese to the chloride of sodium and sulphuric acid. In a report issued by the Commis sioners of Sewers, of 14th instant, it is further objected that the deodorising agent I have suggested is not disin fectant ; but as the argument against its use, as possess ing the latter quality, is based upon pure hypothesis, of which not a scintilla of tangible evidence can be adduced, and nothing but the dogma of speculative philosophy ad vanced in support of such statement, I prefer relying upon my own common sense and attest experience, fortified as it is by the published opinions of the most eminent physi cians and chemists of Europe. One advantage I claim for Condy's Fluid is indisputable, viz., that it is much safer to be entrusted to illiterate persons than any other known agent of its kind. It is, moreover, entirely harmless to person or material,whilatthechloride of iron isdeatructive, and the carbolic acid, from its suffocating and disgusting smell, is unfit for indoor use, and excites nausea and vomit ing. In conclusion, I would earnestly direct your serious ers te:aim to the state of things disclosed, which demands instant and peremptory action on the part of the Commis sioners of Sewers, who have ample powers, under 29 and 30 Viet., chap. 90, to remedy all the evils thus exposed, the existence of which, I do not hesitate to say, disgrace our common civilisation, and reflect little credit upon the vaunted excellence of the machinery hitherto put into operation for their prevention and removal. The revela tions the returns make open up a sickening picture of the fate of the City of London, should any disease of the ry motic or miasmatic class fix its deadly grip upon either of the localities indicated, and foreshadow, in such an event, results too awful to contemplate. Cholera, which it was thought had died out of Dublin, has reappeared in that city with alarming virulence, the fatal cases recorded being of the true Asiatic type. In *aunty Mayo fifteen oases of cholera have occurred within three days, of which eight proved hied. It was reported to the Liverpool Health Committee yes terday by Dr. Trench, the medical officer to the Liverpool corporation, that during the last week the deaths from cholera were 146, • decrease of about 12 compared with the previous week. On Saturday Mr. Wigglesworth, farmer, Brad ley, near Huddersfield, toned 71 electro-plated tea-spoons amongst some kay in his stack-yard. The spoons are all marked vithan initial, and wore sent to the county polio.- cam, Huddendiskl. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY, • T V 7 04 AUGUR/4 , < :31; 1866. tats fntelitsence. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—AuousT 30. (Were Mr. Cornmiarloner Winslow.) IN RI BENJAMIN HARM. This was an application to dinning a petition for adjudi cation, tiled by the bankrupt. Mr. Broagh was counsel in support of the application, and Mr. Ratan on the other aide. The bankrupt was a publican, •mg on business at the Old King sad Queen Tavern, Newington Butts, and the applicant was a young lady named Anne Kemp, who had brought an action against the bankrupt for breach of promise of marriage, and in which she bad obtained a verdict for 219 f. his. 10d. damages and costa. What ren dered the ease somewhat singular was that the bankrupt's schedule disclosed the names of two ladies, each of whom had recovered damages against him for the non-fulfilment of matrimonial engagements; and it appeared that the petition was presented immediately after the trial of the second action. The ground upon which the application was based was that the bankrupt had earned on business and was known by the name of Peter Harris, and also as Peter Benjamin Harris, neither of which names were dis closed in the petition. In support of the application sib devits were read, and the applicant swore that the bank ruptcy had been promoted for the purpose of attempting to derive her of the fruits of her verdict, he having so threatened both before and after the trial. klis Honour, after a long dismission, dismissed the petition.

During the whole of Wednesday and the early part of yesterday morning a tremendous gale of wind and rain from the west north-west swept the Ramsgate coast, causing a quantity of shipping to seek refuge in the har bour and other roadsteads. About nine o'clock yesterday morning a large vessel and a steamer tug were discovered lying on the Goodwin Sands in a very critical position. The new lifeboat the Bradford, a presentation to the town of Ramsgate by the people of Bradford, was immediately manned and towed to the wrecked vessels. It was then found that one was the North, • full-rigged mer chant ship of Liverpool, of about • thousand tons burden, laden with • cargo of rice, from Africa to London, and the other was the steam tug Wellington, of Loudon. Both were lying on the southern end of the Goodwin Sands, near to the Southland Head light-ship. The Ramsgate lifeboat found the ships deserted by their crews, but the Deal lifeboat, which was there before her, stated that both vessels got on the sands about one o'cloc k in the morning, and that 14 of the crew had got into one of their own boats and landed safely at Deal, while the remainder of the crew, 16 in number, had got into 'another boat, bat gm sea being rough, the boats soon parted company. The Ramsgate boat stayed at the wreck some hours doing her utmost to save the North, but all to no purpose, for she soon broke her back, and is now a total wreck. The steam tug also sunk. A schooner was seen on the Good win Sands previous to the lifeboat starting, but she was soon lost sight of, and it is believed that she righted her self and pursued her voyage. We were informed last night by the hon. secretary of the DoverSailors' Home and Refuge for the Shipwrecked, that during yesterday the captain and 15 of the crew of the North were landed at Dover, and entertained at the Home. They had lost the greater portion of their clothing, and were in • very desti tute condition. Aa the crew consisted of 30 men, and as 14 landed at Deal, and 16 at Dover, the fears that were entertained at Ramsgate yesterday, as to the safety of the captain's boat, are happily groundless. OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE Loss OF THE BRUISER. —The marine department of the Board of Trade yesterday received the sworn depositions of the masters of the steamers Bruiser and Haswell, relative to the recent wreck of the former off Aldboroogb. The captain of the Bruiser (Mr. Harty) being below at the time of the collision was unable to throw any light on the actual occurrence. His opinion was that the accident occurred because there were no side lights visible on iioird the Haswell, and because in addition the look out on board that vessel was bad. The captain explained that es the mate of the Bruiser mw no thing but a mast-head light on hoard the Haswell he naturally concluded she was only a vessel at anchor. Mr. John Chase, the captain of the Haswell, who was also below when the collision took place, threw the blame entirely on the officer, of the Bruiser, alleging that when first seen she was coming up on the port bow, and that when nearing the Bruiser she starboarded her helm, ren dering a collision inevitable. A correspondent informs us that the body of the little girl found off Sisewelbbank has been identified as one of the children of Mr. Mendorusky, of No. 7, Hutchinson-street, Commercial-road East. Mrs. Mendorusky and two other children were also drowned in the wreck. A good deal of cargo has beta got up by the divers from the wreck, and landed at Altiborough. ST. CLEMENT DANES REGATTA.

SZYZIN VALLEY RAILWAY.—The ordinary gene ral gibeeiteg of the shareholders of this company was held yesterday afternoon at the offices, Vitiona-street, West minster ; Mr. John Parson in the *hair. The report of the directors stated that, acting on the resolutions of the special general meeting of the company held on Ist of December, 1865 and in accordant,. with the recommenda tions contained in the report to the general meeting of the 27th Feb last, as to the policy and method of dis charging the ' ' 'ties of the company, the director' had now to report that they bad anooeeded in reducing the liabilities of the company from 32,320/. 91. 7d. to 7,17 W. be., and they had everrresson to believe that sai -1 dent assets remained in the hands of the company to die charge the remaining liabilities. A part of these meets was represented by the value of 86 ordinary shares, the calls on which could not be recovered, and which would have to be forfeited. Notice of forfeiture had been given to the shareholders, and it would be neeeenery shortly to call a special general meeting for the purpose of giving full effect to this notice of forfeiture, and to authorise a sale of the shares. An extension of time for the construe tion of the Bewdley and Kidderminster Spur had been obtained by the Great Western Railway Company, and the directors had not yet been requested to take any further steps with reference to the construction of that spur. The directors regretted to announce the resignation, as direo tors, of the Right Hon. General G. C. W. Forester, M.P., and alsoof Mr. 3. S. Paltingten ; bat as the Great Western Company intended shortly to exercise the powers reserved to them by the agreements with the Severn Valley Rail way Company, the directors did not propose that the vacancies caused b these resignations should be filled up at present. The a briefly moved the adoption of the report, which was agreed to, as also a motion in favour of the declaration of dividends at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum on the ordinary shares and 46 per cent. per annum on the preference shares. The customary vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the businees. FURNESS RAILWAY.—The 44th halt-yearly meet ing of the Furness Railway Company was held yesterday, at No. 9, Old Burlington - street , Mr. F. J. Nicholls, in the absence of the Duke of Devonshire, the chairman of the company, presiding. The report, having been read, was unanimously adopted. The dividend of 10 per cent., as recommended in the report, was then declar ed payable on Saturday. A special resolution, confirming the expendi ture on steamboats, was also pasled, after which the meet incalmied, with the usual vote of thanks to the chairman. DintuN AND MIATH RAILWAY. —The sixteenth ordinary half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this railwa was held yesterday afternoon et the offices, Angel court, don-street ; Mr. S.G. Sheppard in the chair. The report of the directors stated that the traffic during the past half-year had been but little in excess of the cor responding period of 1865 ; this result, however f pointing, was due to temporary onuses, such as the d c i a s ttt distemper, commercial depression, and political tude ; the directors, therefore ' saw no reason to doubt that it would soon again exhibit that progressive expansion I which uniformly characterised it up to the close of 1865. The working expenses were still very heavy, and, as in the corresponding period of 1865 amounted to 71 per cent. of the receipts. The directors were fully impressed with the paramount importance of securing the utmost economy in working, and, with that view, they opened negotiations with both the Midland Great Western and Dublin and Drogheda Companies, but the terms suggested by those companies were not such as could be accepted. The act recently passed for affording assist ance to Irish railways in dmding with their debentures, though limited, was nevertheless, satisfactory, as showing that the di ffi culties which beset railways in Ireland had attracted the attention of the legislature ; and in propor tion as the liabilities which had been incurred by the directors were 'educed, they would be disposed to aid in forwarding the other matenal interests of the line. It is with great satisfaction that the board were enabled to allude openly to proposals which had been made to them for carrying out those extensions which, contemplated from the original formation of this company, were essential to its proper development and success. The exten sion that invited more immediate attention was that from Navan to Kingsoourt, for which an act was obtained last year—it was the first link of a through route to the north, and while holding out in itself remunerative prospects, could not fail to add materially to the traffic of the Meath line. Power was given in the set to the Meath Company to subscribe 40,000 f. ; and, if from the district the value of the land be oontributed, the whole of the remaining capital would be supplied by the influen tial parties previously alluded to. Already considerable assurances of support had been received from several of the largest landowners on the new line, and the directors would be prepared at the proper time to recommend their own shareholders to sanction an agreement for working the Kingsoourt line at ante not exceeding 40 per cent. of the gross receipts. While they abstained from offering an estimate of the effect of these arrangements on the future of the Meath line, the directors felt justi fi ed in an ticipating the dawn of a brighter day, and they felt bound to add that this prospect was in a greet measure due to the wise sympathy which had been extended by the legis lature towards Irish railways. The Chairman, in very brief terms, proposed the adoption of the report, which was agreed to without discussion. THE NATIONAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY (Dairgli).—A statement of the affairs of this company for the past half-year was laid before the shareholders at their fifth ordinary meeting, held in Liverpool yesterday. The balance of profit on the last half-year, after distribution of 30,000/. amongst the shareholders, writing off for depre ciation 46,211.5' 1., and transferring 9,4501. to • boiler re newal fund, was 15,589/. The result of the accounts for the present half-year showed a net profit of 132001., but the greater part of this sum would he absorbed by the pay ment of the expenses incurred by the outbreak of cholera on board the company's steamers. The directors, in the report, deplored the 6is of life occasioned by the cholera, but confidently asserted that every means had been adopted to lessen its ill effects, and secure the comparative comfort of the passengers. The expense connected with the out break of the disease had been very considerable, about 15,0001., divided amongst three vessels. Of this sum from 3,0001. to 4,000/. bad been paid. These circumstances had interfered with the increased number of mailings which the directors had commenced, but hereafter the ad ditional mailings would be carried out. The amount of money at present held on debenture was 185,7001. On the motion of the chairman, the report was adopted. LONDON RIFLE BRIGADE " G" (WARD OF BASSI SHAW) COMPANY.—The tedium of • long volunteer vaca tion has, at the suggestion of Captain Sewell, beenrelieved by the members of this company organising a cricket match, which came off at Rad Sheen on Saturday last, Private H. C. Boyce having kindly secured the use of the ground for his comrades on the occasion. Owing to the large attendance, it was considered desirable to play thir teen each from the right and left subdivisions under Colour-sergeant Pearce and Sergeant Bing respectively. HEAVY COMPENSATION CASR. The Cabe of " The Exewitors of Cropp, deceased, against the Metrc politan District Railway Company," which was one for compensation, was tried yesterday at the Guildhall, West minster, before the Deputy High Bailiff of Westminster and a common jury. It lasted the whole day. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Gates appeared for the claimants ; Mr. Charles Pollock, Q.C., and Mr. Sleigh for the railway company. The claim was in respect of 17 small houses situate in Blue Anchor-yard, Westminster, which were let out as weekly tenements. The property was held under a lease from the Dean and Chapter ofWestminster for %period of 31 years, of which shout six years were unexpired. The ground rent was 21. lie., and the property produced a gross rental of 1691. per annum. The claimants claimed 3,842/. Conflicting evidence was given by surveyor on each side, the surveyors on the part of the claimants esti mating the compensation at about 2,5001., while those on the part of the company estimated the value at about 5001. After hearing the arguments and testimony adduced on both sides, the Deputy High Bailiff summed up the ease to the jury, who retired to consider their verdict, and were absent half an hour. Upon their re-a in court they gave • verdict for the claimants for 1 STRANGE PROCEEDINGS IN SHREWSBI7II7 COI7NTY Cot:Hr.—On tna opening of this court a day or two since, Mr. J. W.

Accordingly, after all the other business before the court had been gone through, the jury, who had been kept in attendance all day, were sworn, and the case was heard. At the conclusion of the evidence, and after his honour had summed up, the lUly expressed a desire to retire and consider their verdict. t being then half-pest 6 o'clock, his honour said he could not object to their proposal, but it would be necessary for them to come to a decision, one way or the other, in the course of an hour, or he must discharge them and leave the case open. His Honour then left the court, giving instruction, to the officer in charge of the jury to bring them to his hotel at half-pest 7 o'clock, whether they had agreed upon their verdict or not. The unfortunate jury, not being able to arrive at a unanimous conclusion by the hour named, were escorted to the Raven Hotel and forth with discharged.

The eighth half-yearly general meeting of the ' of this railway was held yesterday et the offices si p the coo , Victoria Station, Westminster ; Sir C. P. ROOMY, chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. Mr. W. E. JOHNSON, the secretary, having read the notice summoning the meeting, the following report was presented : 'ln their last report the directors intimated that the line of this company was being worked for the benefit of the contractors and as those gentlemen paid the interest on the "B" BLIMP to the 31st December last, the share holders up to that date had no interest in the results of the working of the line. The directors deeply regret the loss and inconvenience which will be ocossioned to the shareholders by the failure of the contractors to provide the funds necessary for the payment of the interest for the six months ending 30th June last. Under the arrangement made in 1862 with the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company for working the line, this company is entitled, as stated in the original prospectus, to at least 40 per nt out of the gross receipts r cent. traffic booked between the Metropolitan Extension lines of the London, Chatharo, and Dover Railway Com pany and this line, as well es the traffic on this line, after deducting working Gurnee., in no awe to exceed 60 per cent., an excess in re ce ipts above that sum to be equis divided between the two companies. The directors, how ever, have not as yet received any payments from the Chatham Company on this company's traffic account. The board is advised that the Chatham Company is bound to account for at lent 40 per cent. of the actual earning, under the terms of the foregoing agreement, from the date of the opening of the line • and the directors are further advised, that at the proper 'time measures, if necessary, should be taken for bringing this question to an issue. The directors consider that they have also a claim to a large amount against the London, Chatham, and Dover Company, in consequence of that company having failed to construct the line from Peckham to Walworth, which it undertook to construct in considera tion of this company abandoning its junction with the Metropolitan City Extension near Brixton. The directors beg to report that, Mr. G. F. Holroyd and Sir C. H. J. Rich, Bart., htve ceased to be members of the board, and that the two vacancies have been supplied by the election of Mr. J. G. T. Sinclair and Mr. E. Humby, two gentle men largely interested as shareholders of the company." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, renewed its expression of regret at the petition in which the company had been placed by the distressing failure of Messrs. Peto and Bette. Under the arrangement between these gentlemen and the company they were bound, in accordance with the terms of the prospectus, to pay in terest on the B shares until a year after the opening of the railway for traffic, which event took place on the sth August, 1865. The line had not been worked satisfac torily, owing to the great difficulties which the Loudon, Chathan, and Dover Company had had to contend with in consequence of the obstacles interposed in the way of them getting in and out of the Victoria station. These obstacles, however, would shortly be removed by the open ing of the new Victoria Bridge, and no doubt there would I be a considerable improvement made in the working of the traffic. But the most serious impediment to the due development of that traffic had certainly been the default of the London, Chatham an Dover Company in not con structing the line between Peckham and *alworth, for bad that line been carried out the company would have been in a very different position to what it was at the pre sent time. It was at the instance of the London, Chatham, and Dover Company thatthiecompany abandoneda junction that would have enabled them to run from the Great North ern, the Metropolitan, and the Ludgate-hill stations to the Crystal Palace. It was represented, and truly represented, that the Peckham and Walworth line would give a shorter route between the north of London, the City, and the Crystal Palace than the junction, hut unfortunately the London, Chatham, and Dover had been unable to find the capital for it. construction, and they had in consequence been very serious sufferers, as it now took upwards of an hour to get to the Crystal Palace from Ludgate-hill. The board had been strengthened by the introduction of two gentlemen who were not only themselves largely interested in the line as shareholders, but were also the representa tives of friends who were equally concerned in its welfare. Mr. Sinclair, one of them, having to be in Scotland just now, was unable to be present ; but Mr. Humby, the other gentleman to whom he referred, sat near to him in his place at the directors' table. It had been mentioned to him that some of the shareholders thought it desirable that a committee of investigation into the affairs of the company should be appointed. The directors had not the slightest objection to such a course ; but it was only right that he should state that at the present moment negotiations of a delicate and difficult nature were pend ing between this and the Chatham and Dover Com pany, and that in the settlement of those questions the gentlemen who he had just named no doubt fully re present the interest of the shareholders. In addition to which two, if not three, of the gentlemen proposed to be appointed on the London, Chatham, and Dover com mittee of inquiry were considerable shareholders in this company ; and if they should so desire, the directors and °Swale of this company would be quite ready to give that committee every information in the most unreserved manner. Mr. T. HOLROYD, director, seconded the motion. After a long and desultory discussion with regard to the rights and interests of the various parties concerned in the line , Mr. Sunny moved as an amendment that the accounts be received, and the meeting be adjourned until the 23rd of, Octobler next, the directors being requested in the meantime to prepare a complete statement of the affairs of the company. hear.) . . Mr. TAY 1.i)11 seconded the'amendment. The CHAIRMAN withdrew the original motion, and Mr. Surgey's resolution was unanimously adopted. A cordial vote of thanks was then given to the chair man for his conduct in the chair, and the meeting, which was numerously attended, and had lasted over two hours, broke up. SENT COAST. The half-yearly ordinary general meeting of this company was held yesterday afternoon at the offices of the company, Victoria Station ; Sir CUSACK P. liostri in the chair. The SECRETARY (Mr. W. E. Johnson) having read the advertisement convening the meeting, read the directors' report, which has already been published. Th• CBliamax, in moving its adoption, said that the amount receivable for the past half-year from the London, Chatham, and Dover Company was 14,334 i., and on the lst of July that company handed over to them the amount necessary to pay the interest upon the debentures of the company ; but unfortunately directly afterwards the Lon don, Chatham, and Dover Company was placed in the hands of receivers. The directors of the Kent Coast had applied to the London, Chatham, and Dover for the balance due; but as they could not pay it in consequence of the line beinf in the hands of receivers, they felt that it was important that the Ii shareholders should not be deprived of their interest, and they had obtained a temporary loan for that purpose, which would be repaid when the balance due by the Chatham and Dover Company was handed over to them under the agreement. In the meantime the Chatham and Dover had consented to pay to this company's banker 110 per cent. of the weekly receipts, which had been duly paid since the lit of July, and was accumulating for the dividend of the current half-year. There was no doubt that when the Court of Chancery met after the long vacation it would at once order the payment of the balance. He explained that after the lamented death of Mr. Hilton, their late chairman . , and the retirement of Mr. Holroyd, the board, deeming it right to appoint gentlemen of high position and having considerable interest in the undertaking, had ap pointed Mr. &Batmen Harvey, M.P., with the view of his ing chairman, and Mr. E. J. Coleman in their room. Mr. H. TOOTAL seconded the motion. In reply to a question from a shareholder, The CiudanAN stated that the line was not actually leaned tothe London, Chatham, and Dover, but was worked by them under a specific agreement, which was in every way binding upon them, and which included an agreement for • lease for 999 years. It was a parliamentary agree ment, and under it the London Chatham, and Dover were bound to work the line in a s pecified manner, so as to ensure its efficiency. Mr. 'We/min inquired whether there were any claims of contractors, Lloyd's bonds, or liabilities of that kind, and having received a negative reply, he expressed his satisfaction at finding, from an inspection of the accounts, that the whole of the claims by creditors against the company did not exceed 4,4781., in addition to • small sum due to the engineer, but was somewhat surprised to bear that there was no lame. Inasmuch as the line was made, and the contractor paid, there was no reason to suppose otherwise than that the B shareholders were all right, and that eventually the A shareholders would receive a dividend. The report having been adopted the proceedings ter minated with the usual (vote of thanks BITTINGBOIJRNE AND SHZERNII2IB RAILWAY.—The twentieth half-yearly ordinary meeting of the shareholders of this company was held yesterday afternoon, at the offices, John-street, Bedford-row, Mr. Lightly' impson in the chair. The report of the directors stated that the arrangement between the company and the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company for the entire pur chase of the company's railway and works had been sanc tioned by parliament on the terms &heady submitted to and approved by the adjourned general meeting of share holders. The directors would use their beet endeavour to carry out the arrangement with the least possible delay.
