RAILWAY MEETINGS. GLASGOW, DUMFRIES, AND CARLISLE. The report of the directors to be submitted to tile half yeerly meeting of the employ to-day dates that cored storable progress bit bees made in con.tructing the line 1 north of Dumfries towards Its junction with the Ayrshire Railway ; and ft is for thei r mutual interest to have the whole I.ne comeleted with the least possible delay. Thos works between Dumfries sad Closeburs (about two miles from Thornhill) are so far advanced u to allow of the is mediate opening of this portion of the line ' which will secure nearly the whole traffic to be expected from Thornhill. The portion, however, between Closeburn and Thornhill cannot be completed for several months. The new con tractor foe the Drundanrig tunnel is proceeding vigorously with I - s construction, and has bound himself to complete it by the lit of October, 1350. The contract may be regarded as the key to the whole line. The sceeding tract emitinues the line to Sanguhar, and s is nearly co n com pleted. The works on the line between Saegubar and Oid Curt:mock have beet undertaken by able and responsible contractors for an aggregate sum of about 61,0001., being greatly under the estimate. Thew contracts, wish one ex ception, are to be finished by the let of October, 1850. The directors will devote great attention to the expenditure in formieg the stations between Dumfries and Cumnnek, so at to avoid unnecessary outlay of every deseriptioa. The board have made a new arraegement, by which the superintemseuce of the whole works. including thugs still nnfi.iished on the Ayrshire line, is placed under two properly . guatiti el resident engineen, in immediate communication with the directors, from whom their instructlins will emanate. The accounts to the 3: at of July show that 805,2341. had been received, of which 716,9391. way expended in the construction of the line, 67,4871. legato the Ayr Company, and 21,3.581. invested in shares, leaving a balance against the company of 9,4881.

"It having been understood to be the wish of the pro prietors that the number ot direetora should ha reduced, a acs elution to that effect will be euemitteid to the meeting."

The CHAIRMAN, after having commented upon these various suggestion', said that the report of the auditors would be laid before the general board, and that it would receive due attention. A very satisfactory report from Mr. run, relative to the traffic on the East Anglian Reiterate', was nest reed, in which he gave it as his opinion that, with improved menegement, the waffle on portion% of the line might or easily doubled. The report of the auditors was ordered to be printed and circulated with the proceedings of the dry, and it was left to the disnetion of the directors to print and duellist Mr. Pelee report, if they should think it advisable so to do.

Mr. BROADBENT moved that the report of the com mittee of investigation, which has already been made public, be received end adopted. Mr. ALBEROA thought the report of the committee was after all a very flimsy aril imperfect at demon*. As men of bulimia he should have thought they would have gone into every d'tall of interest to the company. The report was then received. The CHAIRMAN said that a cell of 31. would be turn , dint on all the amount of shares. He hoped the effect of this meeting would be to class the remainder of the prefe rence shares to be taint up rapidly. A SHAREHOLDER asked „what was the real amount now required by the company ? The t,HAIKHHAN remied that there was a large amount of the bends already overdue, but the holder" were very in dulgent ; but as it was uncertain how many of them could be renewed, and how many of the shar,s weuld be taken up, that question could not be anew, red at present.

The weather continues to be waterbed wits rt , ..xiety, and is just now a etNect of importance. The season seems sets fair, and we are enjoying a ripening harvest sun, so the a f•tv days of such waathcr would make all safe. We have now arrived at a E eltiod much later than that cat which in previous ,eArs tLc potato tot appeared. The follow tng remarks are from the Ihiblin PO as: The cirsumstance that we have reached the 22nd of Au gust, and that the re is still considerable doubt as to the re appears. et ots 'light in the potato to any very destructive piece, is of itmlf calculated to afford no smell townie:ion ; for, dudes the last three years, the disease exhibited unmis takeehle symptoms of its el. sulatine presence over a large tract of c tuutry at a period of the season much anterior to that at which we now write. We have carefully examined the accounts that have reached as Oa ugh the provincial journals, and which we transfer iron day to day to our columns ; and the ( occlusion which we glean from an attentive perusal of these agricultural reports is that the tuoers are still sound (with serf slight exceptions), but that in many counties dieceloration of the leaves and stems has been extensively observed. It milt be remarks d that the accounts most calculated to cause alma are those I from the north-east. In Down and Antrim cansider..ble fears seem to prevail. From Donesal the a:counts are cm flictirg. Throughout the rest of the country the great ma jority .1 the accounts are calculated to inspire the hope that the crop will be spared. As a scientific fact it is deserving of notice that the districts in which the display of atmo spheric electricity has been most frequent, base presented in the greatest degree examples of the discoloured leaf. Agrieultur.el authorities state that this discolouration is not • certain sign of the presence of disease, and the examination of the tubers of the die eoloured plants often coutirms this view ; but it must 'be observed that the sputa indicate the approach of disease, and thence arises the necessity of ocrisideri.l what coarse should be ad .pt-d wi.h respect to these hails in which diaceoura tion has appeared. It is b. zaniest'. to offer advice on • matter of such vital imp stance ; but it would seem that the safest remedy yet suggested Is to pull up the stalks—net merely to man them down. Tea may be done with safety in light soils; but in Deasy land it may be necessary to cast • little fresh mould over the beds after the stalks have been pulled, to make the surface even, and prevent water from lod-ing on it; as thus would inevitably cause the tubers in the Carta to rot. Oa this matter, however, the practical agriculturist, and not the journalist, must be consulted. Passing from the agricultural to the social view this momentous subject, it is a fearful thing to think how many theusends of lives arc in this country perilled on the success or failure of the potato. A nation is staked on the cut of a die. E irly in the season we strongly advised that the potato 'toted not be each:Mealy relied upon. Toe universality of p , Cato cultivation has led to numerous social evils in Ireland. To return to a system which leaves no sub b that' in the eau of a failure of the scot, now proved by dire experience to be v. ry precarious, mutt lead to most fatal results. The people will feel each sear that they stand upon the verge of • precipice. The potato well deserves the farmer's care along with other esculents; but to surrender all the national energies to its cultivation fatally depresses the condition of the peasantry. We trust that if • season of plenty be decreed for us, the respite will be used in entice vauring to turn national attention to a more mixed cultiva tion of the toil, thus preveating, as far as human foresight can, the recurrence of these calamities, which have resulted from national dependence upon a single article of diet, and that holding .o humble a peattioa in the teak of human fond. The wallah here is very unwholesome, and there is a great quantity of sickness throughout Dublin. The Brewing Post hes a return of the burial receipts for two cemeteries, which show a fearful difference bo tweet, the public health at this time and during the same period 12 months since. From the 20th July, 1848, to 17 h August. the receipts for burials at Golden-bridge and Prosp:ct were 196/. 15s. 9d., and for the some vericd during the present year, the re ceipts have been 5201.19 e. 93. A great change is taking place in the internal con dition of the workhouses throughout the country. During the last month not leas thanl,ooo paupers left the Limerick workhouse. 5,000 out-door paupers have been struck off the lists, and in Tralee the num brs have fallen from 11,000 to 4,00. In the Castle rea union, in the county of Itoecommon, 6,000 names have beer struck off. wAlkint over THE QUEEN'S VISIT.—The Banner of Ulster con tains the following anecdote of the visit of ber Majesty to Belfast :—A corpora of the 67th, who was on guard at the Royal Pavilion, on the occasion of her Majesty'. visit, has been honourably mentioned in g 1 orders, and warmly recommended to the notice of his commanding officer, for having dischargrl, in a firm and soldierlike manner his duty as sentinel, in preventing the ingress to the pavilion of • person of title (a noble 1 nd, owner of a property in a part or DOWneinre, not twenty mire from Behest, as unattsched offioer of Ordner.ce), who, although not dreseed according to the regulations insitted upon obtrading himself into the prance of 1141.4.

The two great rowing match , ' which have for some time past engrossed the attention of aquatic men came off yesterday. and attracted an assemblage of some thousands of person , . The first of these was a match for 200 f. between Townes Coombe', of Westminster, the brother of the champion of the Theme?, and Th .mac Mackinney, of Richmond, the die taace contested being from Putney bridge to the Shin at Mortlake. Shortly after five in the evening the two crack watermen made their appearance in very beautiful light ow rigger wager-boats. At about twenty minutes to six the men effected a capital start, Coombes having the choice of station, and being at the Middlesex side of the centre arch of Putney badge; his opponent cn the opposite side of the arch, towards the Surrey shore. Coombes immediately took a alight lead, having the nose of his boat two or three feet in advance in an instant, and In the next making a slight increase upon that. The advantage, however, was bu: tran sient, for in the next half-dozen stet lc- s Mackinney was scull and null with him, and continued to apply himself co vigo rously to hit work that, off Moon. Seerle's, he had drawn his boat clear of his adversary. Coombe& then made a moat aU:lnt effort to overhaul his opponent, bat the pane of the was too good fee him, sad liseklamey gradually drew, foot by foot, further in advance throughout the match, being about a couple of lengths and a half ahead at the Crabtree, nearly double the shaman at Hammersmith -bridge, and im proving upon that at abreast every stroke. Although Coombs now and then, by a desperate eff. rP, gained a trifle, he was unable to maintain it, and Mackinney won by twelve or fifteen lengths, completing the distance (upwards of faur miles and a half) in twenty-five mitrites and • few seconds. The steamers, as well as the vest number of horsemen who had accompanied the raw up the towing-path and bank, then waited until the tide turned for the second rata. This event had alto created considerable interest. The com petitors were Messrs. Harpour and Itivenshaw against Messrs. J. G. and J. D. Chillingwurth. The courts was from the Hallway Bridge at Barnes to Hammersmith Bridge. They started very evenly, the Chillingwortia, the younger of whom rowed stroke, taking for the first few strokes a very trifling lend. Messrs. Harpour and lt iven. thaw, the fernier in the bow, went to work in fine style, and a gallont race fur a short time ensued, in the course of which Messrs. Harpoon and Itsvenshaw drew slightly in advance, and appeared to be improving their advantage, when the Messrs. Chilingworth were crnsied by a boat which fouled them, and stopped their way for a few seconds. Tney soon went to work ngain, and, notwithstanding their mishap, made some very galltut efforts t.c overhaul their opponents, hut failed, although they towardt the last ms terially shortened the distance betwsen the two brute. Messrs. Harpour and Itaventhew won by three or four lengths, the whole of the gentlemen exhibiting first-rate style. The winners rowed in a Wet built by the eminent Searles. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

Mr. Platt was for the pros 'Aaiun in tots ea also. The parties stood in the relation of neon aud wile, and it app+arvel that the transaction out of which the present indictment arose occurred on the evening of the sth June, but no very clear account wrs given as to the actual circumstances under which the offsnce was committed. It appestA that the pris trier and the deceased lodged in a house in Hupur•street, Pats oy-square, gad on the evening in question al,cut six o'cloca the prisoner went home very drunk, and was I ut to bed, and soon afterwards the deceased went into the room, and in a short time there were cries of mure.er ; ar 1 upon the po:ice and some of the other lodgers going into the room, the deceased was found with his throat cut, and the prisoner standing by him, end a alweicaker's knife, with whims the injur) boil evidently been iedlicted, aid which was covers:. with bleed, was found in the room also.
