directors in awl:daub were those of the Oxford, Wooster, and Waiverhsmpu n. Mr. CAPEL Ohm ehainnin of the committee of investigs- Soo) was about to read the report of the committee, who several eia,cholden suggested that as it had been in the handset the prspriete re - for some days, andra n d en pub. l eked in the siewspapers, it should be tskon shut Mr. METCALFE (solidtor. Keith 4, Yorkshire), pro. tested ageism emelt t h eatis. The degameat had bees ia his beads owl, thorium lent hellbent, and It was faaportant that the statements contained in it should be accurately pre mated t • very shareholder. CAPEL thAt read the report of the imeusittee of in vestigation' width bee already been published in the Express of Wedne sday last. He mid that the ',pert should have been earlier in the hands of the proprieties were it not that the committee bad not got it from the printers. with the exception of a few espies which were riven to the newspaper press, until Wednesday ever Jag at six o'clock. H. regretted that the pro prietor bad not had more time for the consideration of its contents, but passing over this point, his duty at must was to more that it be emir' d, adopted, sad printed for circuls. sod, in doing so, he would inefrnal on the meeting with may a very few remarks. With regard to the arrears of eslis the shareholders would see that they ame,sted to 115,0001., while not more then 40,0001. or sopa has beau u yet recovered. Under this head, the committee bad to draw special artistica to the fact that the secretary of the company, who reosived a large salary from them, was in a for the five calls on 6.5 shares allotted to him. (Criss of "Shame.") He felt it due to the directors to state that they had given every facility for the investigations of the committee, by affording access to books., papers, documents and every other soon of in formatics, which could facilitate the inquiry intruded to therm. He moved that the report be received, adopted, and entered on the minutes of the proceedings of the meeting. Mr. EDMONDS, one of the committee of investigation s seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN, in putting the queetion, said that it was not t h e intention of the directors to throw the slightest obstacle in the way of the reception and adoption of the re hort, which they would leave in the banks of the share lders to deal with as to them seemed best. (Rear.) At the same time he felt that it wee due to the directors to state that haling se en the report only gnu it was hued ea a cir cular, they had not had time to give it such consideration an would enable them to 11./111er many statements in it which were open to correction. They proposed, however, to give a detailed answer, which they would circulate with the minutes of the present meeting, and for the present they would decline making any reply to it, lest they might fail in making it as °lmplore as the msterials which they possessed, but which they bad not time to arrange, would enable them to do. Mr. MILLER rose to propose an amendment. In his opinion it would be quits right that they should receive the report of the committee of favestfiutin ; but it contained certain statements which their chairman said the directors had the means of disproving. Would it not be well, there fore to pause before they went the length of adopting it? The directors promised an skewer to the report, and he would therefore move that it be received and entered on the minutes of the meeting, but that its final adoption be post poned to a future day, on which it might be considered in cosjunetio• with the report promised by the directors. Mr. HALLETT seconded the amendment, and com plained that the committee of investigation had not given the shareholders data sufficiently distinct to enable them to understand the position in which they stood. In hie opinion the great nhjecto they should have in view were to ascertain the mode by which they could complete the line at the least possible espet.ce, and the curtailment of their present ex penses. A lengthened and irregular diseuenks then took place, in the course of which the directors were severely blamed for not having taken mere pains to ascertain the meet position in which this company stood with the Great Western. It was also contended that there was a legal and tangible claim on the Great Western Company for 4 per cent. on the outlay en the line, but in pursuance of the advice of the chairman and solicitor of the eonspany, the gnostic= proposed by various shareholders In reference to these transactions were not premed for the present , e being withheld until the ram di the d to the report of the committee le prepared. Mr. THORNYCROIiT (one of the directors) entersel Leto an explanation of the caws which had rendered it impos sible for the directors to obtain the patentee of 4 per Bent. an the money neemary to complete the line from the Greet Western Company, and declared his decided *Piles to be, that if the line were carried on to Wolverhampton itwoiaM become the beat paying inland line in the country, both as regarded rude and r traffic. An amendment on Mr. ape's motion, that the report of the committee be received and adopted, was them canted, to the effect that it be received and catered an the minutia, but not fleetly adopted until the let October, at a meeting 1 to be held at the SUN hoar and place, _what the spay of the directors is to be presented to W rhomboids's, and se veral erroneous statuses* antedated he the report of the committee are to be anested. Mr. SMITH proposed a entice to the OM that the Osaka of the meting be gives to the committee of haw & =fee the seal and eticfeaey with whisk they had din. their ditty, and that the directors be requeeeed to take sash laseuree ae will users the appointment of three of their lusher, Meese. Capel, Baker, and litleaude, as &fasten of the erenuay. Tide remiatisa having bees adopted, the badness of the special nude, was t to a unelosion. The kelf-yeady gm waft of the company wee then held, and the secretary reed the thilewieg repute from the direetan and engiseer. The report of the directors stated— " That at a special general Emmaus, held at Wangles, on the Bth of June lest, a committee was appointed to Investi gate the affurs of the company; to that sentatittoe the direc tors have themselves gives every informable rushed from them, and have also directed the secretary and Wm 081:421 of the company te afford all the assistance in their power by the production of books and documents, to enable the eras matte* to orrice at a correct knowledge of the pa* Lags of the directors, and the present position of re i t pany's affairs. At the request of the committee the diluters have also submitted to the Great Western Company a proposition to modify the terms of laming the railway, bat which has led to so definitive t. In the mean time the p. weeding* of the direness haw, in • great degree, been suspended ; the operations arm the line have been ne cessarily confined, as will be seen from Mr. Branel's »pert, to the preservation of the weeks ; and the diluters have ealy to express the hope that the oemad*se may be measemtal in divider the means by whist more active ormillises may be resumed." The following is the substance of Mr. Brunel% roped: " Sinai my last half-yearly report, very little regrow has hem made with the works. Every unman has been adopted for sedation expenditure, sad securing the works whisk had been completed. At presest the media way be mid tabs entirely suspended over the entire ion but ars overywhert in a condition to admit of lis4 tsly minniod, if the moons should be found for doing ea.

The directors purpeee calling 21. mere on the 25th of October next, auk lag 161. 10e. paid up ; but they will not require the nmaia lag 21. until the early part of next year. It would be no enemy at that meeting to confirm the forfeiture 01 640 shares on which the holders had failed to pay calls, sad to whom the regular notice of forfeiture had been given. Oa 206 of these shares 21. 12a, 6d. each had been pia ; on 190 mere 61. per share has been paid ; on 200 more V. 104, has been paid ; and on the not 'lining 45 shores 101. per share has been paid. Some of them are forfeited at the request of the holders under peculiar cireuntetaaces, and no let can accrue to the company upon any of thrae shares. Tito CHAIRMAN said that he believed the report explained to them all that required explanation. At the same time be might congratulate them upon the forward state and progress of the r +Sway at the present time. In a very few moaths—at teat by the 31st of December—the railway would be perfectly la working order, and everything would be completed. The report Isseringbeen adopted— The CHAIRMAN moved, that the 640 shares upon which the calls have sot been paid up, be forfeited, and that the directors be empowered to dispose of them. A SHAREHOLDER said that he had bought about 100 of those sham, but they had not yet been transferred. lle was willing to pay the calls upon them, and Aerators the sham. ought not to be forfeited. The motion was carried unanimously, and a vote of thanks having been passed to the chairman the meeting separated. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER I. 1849. NORTH WESTERN. The ordinaryhaliyearly meeting of the shareholders in this company was held at the Devonshire Hotel, Skipton, on Thursday last, for the transaction of the general business of the undertakMg ; after which a special meeting war w held for the purpose of forfeiting a number of shares in which the calls were in wear, to consider the propriety of lollies a number of Lew thares bearing a guarantied dividend, an for other parpeses. Amongst the directors present were the following : Pudsey Dawson, Eqi., the chairman of the board ; Thomas Birkbeck, E.g., D. Lupton, Esq., of Leeds ; John Rend, Hu , of Bradfo rd ; Y. J. Rare, Esq., of Shef fi rld, William Robinson, Esq. A little after twelve o'clock Mr. Dawson and the di rectors took their seas around the table. There were present shareholders from London, Lancaster, Leeds, and various other places. The Secretary, WILLIAM WHELON, Esq., read the several o ffi cial documents indicated by** chairman. The report of the directors stated : The directors have to lay before the shareholders an ac count of their procesedinp during the put six months, and their suggestions for the future management of the under takirg. On the 30th of July last 25 miles of railway, from P Skipten to Ingleton, was opened to the public. A farther portion will be ready for opening is the month of October n ext, viz., Lom Lancaster to Wenniogton, being a distance of 12 miles, leaving a link of 12 miles only to be completed before the railway can be opened through from Skipton to Lancaster, and this can be accomplished in the spring of 1850. T he report of the engineer gives every information in reference to the state of the Irons on the several portions of the railway. The traffic on the Poulton branch continue. steadily to increase, an earnest of what may be expected when a communication is opened with the populous districts of Yorkshire, and with the manufacturing 4.stricts of Lan cashire, by means of the junction with the Lumaster and Cellists Railway.—The Company's offices have been removed to Settle, — the central position of that place rendering the change desirable both on the ground of economy and effi ciency of management. " The directors have previously reported that in their en deavours to arrange with the contractors for suspending the works north of Clapham, as recommended in the report of Mesas. Stephenson and Ooodt, who in the autumn of 1841 were appointed the company's consulting engineers, they found it most advantageous to the knouts of the comps.. y that the lint should be completed to Ingleton. and consider ing the amount which has been expended on works up to that time, and the amount of traffic to Ingleton since the opening, they see no reason to regret the decision to which they then came. As regards the expenditure on works north of Ingleton, amounting to 18,5001., it is a matter of regret that so large a sum has been expended , still it is satisfactory to know that there is ne part of these works which will not be absolutely required in the event of the interest of the undertaking demanding an extension of the line for the pur pose of effecting a junction with the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway at some point north of Laneaster. " tinder the advice of Mr. Vignoles, then consulting en gines:, a contract wee entered into with Messrs. lairNiire, of Manchester, in the spring of 1846, for the supply of 20 loesmotive engines, at 2,3001. each, mating 46,001, the wards to be delivered in the spring ot 1849, he having refire , seated to the directors that on account of the enormous de mend ordeing for engines at that period it was important to neon by sunset the delivery of such a number of engines as he samiland would be required at the opening of the railway s !sr the effective workin g of the line, intended then to be &amid* one of 62 miles in length. When, however, in 1840. net only was the length of line reduced, but it was denudes& to lay down only a single line of rails, applica tion was at ones made to Messrs. Fairbairn to modily their agreement. Int the directs, heels; subsequently teeelved that k woo Insopsdint hr this comps. to provide rolling Merle In welkin tie own talk of than by contract, to Marrs. Fafnir& te anal the agreement alto mid* after a pestrasted osgetlation, the y consented to do m ,, ien of the lam of 7,1001. as compensation—a mad IMO which the directors greatly deplore, ru s t at sti . ll7ender the einumetaneree, a necessary one for the interests of the company. "Daring the past half.year the utmost efforts have been made to reduce the arrean of calls ; in many instances they have been successful, in others a total inability on the part of the registered holders has been ascertained, and the dim tees eoneitering it now desirable to remove all such from the list of proprietors, have given the proper notices of their intention to forfeit a large number of shares. " The extinction of these shares necessarily leads to a re duction of the company's capital. The deficiency must, therefore, be nude up, either by borrowing a large gum of money, which in the present state of the company's receipts can only be done (if done at all) at an exorbitant rate, or to give to shareholders who have in times of depression paid their calls the benefit of the amount paid on the forfeited shares, and issues number of pakrenos shares pro rata to the present registered share The directors are unani mously of opinion that the latter plan is the most advantage ous to the proprietary, and decidedly the most feasible. They, therefore, recommend its ion, and propose that 10,000 shuts of 151. each be Imm edia tely issued pro rata to such of the holders of the 40,000 nano now on the register as have paid all calls due thereon , muds shares re presenting 150,0001. of the money authorised by the special eat to be borrowed for the general purposes ef the underhalt- Mg, to be issued at a discount of 41. per share, and guaran teed a preferential interest or dividend at the rate of 41. per cent, per annum, with power to the company from time to time, after the expiration of seven years, to redeem such shine or any number thereof, upon six months' notice of such intention, by payment to the holder of the nom of la fog each share so redeems& " The dimness soonler that the pined has now arrived when a nand= se their number is donshis.

The CHAIRMAN now moved that the report, with the statement of savants, be received, adopted, and printed for circulation. jiir,LirruusaLn seconded the proposition. A PROPRIETOR (from London) suggestedthat the pr.: position should be divided into two parts, as he wished to move an amendment to one pert of it; and after a long conversation as to the best mode of procedure, it was deter mined to postpone the consideration of the chairman's pro position till after the meeting had disposed of the various matters of detail referred to in it. . . The CHAIRMAN then moved a resolution reducing the number of directors to six, and appointirg the gen tlemen named in the report, one-third to retire in August, 1850; another third in Augur, 1851 ; and the remaining one-third in August 1852; three to be a quorum. Mr. HARE seconded the motion. After some discusion, the resolution appointing the six get.- denten named in the report cf the directors was put and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN next moved that the sum to be placed at the disposal of the board be reduced to 6001. per annum. Mr. ALCOCR seconded the motion, which was agreed to unanimously The CHAIRMAN next moved that the salary of the secretary should be advanced from 2501. to 3001. per annum. Mr. D. LUPTON said it was only fair to say that in his opinion no railway:company ever had a better servant then their secretary bad proved himself to be. (Hear, hear.) He believed his whole heart and soul was in this railway, and the board were unanimous in their opini an that this increase should be made to his salary. Mr. ALCOCK seconded the proposition, °hurries that equally with Mr. Lupton he could bear testimony to the zealous services rendered by the secretary. It wee tangos &ibis to have a more active and efficient servant, or one who had the interests of the oompan; more at heart than he had. . . The proposition was then at once acceded to. The SECRETARY expressed his obligations to the share holders, and promised a continuance of his best services to the undertaking. The CHAIRMAN now proposed, in the words of the report, a resolution authorising the issue of 10,000 preference shuts of 151. each, to represent 150,0001. of the loan capita of the ecmpany, the said shares to be issued at a discount of 41. per share, to he guaranteed a dividend of 6 per cent., and to be redeemable at the end of seven years by the com pany on payment of the fall amount of 151. per share, to be tensed to all such shareholders as shall on or before the Ist October next have paid all calls due from them. Mr. SANGSTER wished to know whether this 150,0001. to be now raised, together with the money to be received from the old shares, would be sufficient to (*ambits the rail. way according to Mr. Stephenson's report. He meant was the report of last February to be confirmed by the report of to-day ? Mr. Stephenson's report stated that 750,0001. would computes the line to Laneester, but he expected it would hays been completed for a considerably less sum, as they had thrown off a third of the original line, whilst they bad only reduced the capital one-fourth. Besides Mr. Stephenson con templated a doable line, wheresa only a single line had been made. -- /dr. WATSON, Use resident engineer, said ;the estimates alluded to only included a branch from elephant to Lan cuter, and for that the 750.000/. would be sufficient, but they had made a brunch to Ingleton, which would cat more considerably. Mr. LUPTON said an under estimate had been made of the five miles north of Clapham, for it had cost 58,3921. to make the line from that point to legleby ; and 18,2001. had been laid out north of Ingleton. Mr. HIOOINS, of Lcdon, opposed the issuing of pre ference shares, and urged that as the shareholders by the non-payment of the calls, had made it impossible for the directors to keep the promise of calling up only 151. a share,the board should be authorised to call up the whole 201. He proposed, as an amendment, that no issue of new shares take place, or any ether measures taken to reit* capital by preferenushares, until the whole of the subreribed capital be realised to the utmost extent. A long discussion followed, after which the amendment of Mr. Higgins having been seconded, was put and lost, only two hands being held up for it. Mr. SANGSTER suggested that there should be two issues of shares, one portion being issued prior to another after the Ist of October, sou to give thou in sneer an op portunity of paying up their calls. Mr. RAND thought the let of November might be flied upon instead of the let of October, so as to give more time. Mr. MUROATROYD agreed with Mr. John Watson, and thought that the shares might be offered to all on the present register of shareholders. The directors at length acceded to this suggestion, and altered the resolution accordingly. Mr. ALCOCK moved as an amendment that the resolu tion should stand as originally proposed, except that the date of issue should be lit of November instead of let of October. _ . Mr. B. SHARPS, of Lancaster, seconded the amendment, which on being put was lost, 8 Toting for it, and 15 against it. The resolution authorising the hens to all shareholders upon the present register was then put and carried. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, theDireetpn were authorised to borrow any sun not exceedlog 100,0001. Mr. R. B. WATSON then put a number of questions rela tive to accounts and ether matters, which were answered ap parently to the satisfaction of the meeting. Mr. Ar cocs. moved, and Mr. BIRIBICL seconded, a vote of thanks to the retiring directors, which was carried nem ens.

This regatta commenced on Tuesday lest, in honour of his Royal Highness Prince Albert's birth-day, under the auspices of the Royal Western Yacht Club. The day was sultry, but the sun did not make hi/appearance throughout, and, as a my favourable breeze wafted on the Hoe, the moniirg was everything that could be wished. The Hoe, far the first time during a regatta, presented • deserted, dismal appearance. The first race commenced at eleven o'clock, Inc the Quaas'e PLATE, and was contested by the undermen tioned yachts, coming in in the following order : Fernande, 12.; tons, Major M. Martin 1 Musqutto, 00 Wns, W. knunank, Esq. Cynthia, 00 tons, John Wicks, Esp. 3 The Gondola, 77 tons, W. IL. Woodehouse, Esq., declined sailing, as there was not wind enough for her. Tne distance was from the committee bast cff the black buoy, rounding a mark at the 80agstone, and from thence to a mark off Fenite, round the Cobler to the committee boat. Three times round. The Fernande was allowed one half-hour, being a schooner. In the first round the blusquito lost the topsail-yard. bat rigged another and proceeded, coming in second. In the third round some dispute took place between the Itlusquito and Cynthia, which occasioned some delay ; and the Fernand., being behind, took advantage of it, end coolly made the winning boat fist.

On the arrival of the yachts for the woad and third prisms, a dense tog made its appearance, and a drizzling rain descending and con tinuing, the doe wu very quickly cleared. SECOND DAY, WEDNESDAY. This was the last day of thisailings, and a greater number of visitors appeared to be desirous of witnessing the finale, many having confined the extant of their holidays to one day only. The day being exceedingly fine added considerably to the pleasures of those mumbled. The yachts started at the usual time, the fiat race being for the _ _ MEEDZEIV CAVE PLATE 01501. Two boats started, and it was so nearly contested through, that the difference be tween the competitors in the last round was only two minutes.

Witness went to her, and asked her what was the matter. She exclaimed, " Oh, Me,. Ellis, Mrs. Ellis ! Mother has cut my throat at d my arm ; and she , is now cutting Polly's throat !" Witness instantly ran into the prisoner's house, seeing that her daughter wee bleeding at the throat She went Leto the bedroom on the first flour, and saw the prisoner standing by the bedside. She said to the prisoner, " Oh, Mrs. Jackson, what have you been doing ?" She made no reply. Whines picked up a table knife, at about six feet from the/snout. Her (huge-ter Mary wee on the bed crying. She had a cut OA the left side of her neck, and on her right thumb. E,'za Jackson, an intelligent little child, stated that en Tuesday morning last she was suddenly awoke by her mother, who had a knife across het throat.

The prisoner said that what had been rtned was correct. She added, " I do nut know anything about it, any further than that I am at times not of sound mind."

The prisoner, who was intoxicated, feeling annoyed at the refusal, and t he manner in which it was expressed, followed the complainant, and nvertock On doing so he laid hold o: the complainant, and threw him to the ground with such force as to break his right arm. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, pleaded drunkenness as his excuse, and said he was sorry for what had happened.
