DA.) ,ry e h a lf yearly meeting of the shareholders was bid at noon, at the London Tavern ; Mr. W. J. HAMILTON ChSin 'O s eri, which has already appeared, having been tiko ss read, CalataesN, in moving its adoption, commenced by _doing to the state of the animas, and congra ;Lod the meeting that on that occasion the 17, d gers were enabled to announce a surplus profit ;Ti g gly on the 700 miles open, but on the share and de capital, amounting to 14,000,0001. The receipts half-year were about 800,0001., half of which was amble. Still he regretted that the surplus profit was _ Am large as when they last met he anticipated it would the chief cause of this being the check to traffic g ing from the commercial panic and losses in Bombay, e x&nditure had fallen from 59 per cent. in the pre -1`5..; haM-ecar to 46 per cent. ; and this was the more ..*, that the director s had always felt that the ~Vy r i i i pi gpg es were too heavy. It was satisfactory to see go the curt of coal and coke was lower than is o w previous half-year ; and further that tbe cost of mowing had fallen from 12.75 to 9.86. The works were so „ Ta ming that there was every prospect of their com- Wioa by the end of 1869. He congratulated the meeting a& contract with the Nerbudds Coal Company, which old enable them to obtain a sufficient supply o f t he best coal at reasonable prices. This contract would y oritate the construction of a branch about ten miles k e g ; land the reduction of the price of coal would be fro 31. to 258. per ton. As regarded the division of ewe go profits, there had been a correspondence with the government u to the period when the division should be ; o r, and it tad been determined that the payment old be deferred until January next. gr. J. C. Ferrm,deputy-chairman, seconded the motion. gr. Araron, M.P., said, having been absent at the last p o rting, when be was re-elected a director, he took this oortunity of returning thanks. Hethen went on to remark l ithe dangers arising from the prosperity of companies. (saw.) He had no doubt whatever of the soundness of the ro dertaking but there were limits to the power of winga dividend, and they should endeavour to preserve r iot they had acquired by avoiding a desire for g oo mions and increased expenditure. In 1853 a "so found necessary to give the board a sort of un bind power in this respect, and he wan bound to say that it tad to a large extent been well exercised. In 1858 Issoud and carried a resolution the object of which was rape[ an end to that state of things ; and he believed that tga resilotion had produced a good effect. The company 1 .4 now arrived at a point of consummation as regarded capital, and he regretted that the report did not contain presething more definite on that point. He had proposed the board that the directors should not era's.. k in I s/fresh expenditure without having obtained the sanc ta of the proprietors. (Hear, hear.) He was not one of fide who would encourage contention between the board a g the shareholders generally, but_ he hoped that before tle out half-yearly meeting the former would have come to WSW satisfactory conclusion on this subject. Ti power of the board at present was such ee as wan not possessed by the prime n j o irter, and he shought it should not exist any longer. ([leers) He then complained of the defective constatu ace of the board, under which it was impossible for dareholders holding less than 1,400,000/. to bring for m' any special matter. He had, he said, proposed that & meditation should be altered in that respect, but his brother directors, instead of agreeing with him, thought it vas s very nice state of things that the shareholders [[raid not possess power over the management of their ern 'Nairn Mr. FRITH (deruty chairman)—No, no. Mr. Mime, M.P.—Well, at all events, they thought the present state of things Co nice that it ought not to be altered. (Hear, hear.) As to the management in India, he observed that the train mileage expenditure in India was soles, than lie. Id. per mile, and this excessive expense Is attributed in a great degree to the lines being managed lys majorieneral instead of by some one who had been Pained in railway management. (Cheers.) Mr. FRITH, while admitting the hon. member's forensic &play, denied that his remarks were applicable to the ear under consideration. It would be unfair to compare the management of railways in India with that of English Mews. The board were not such despotic persons as might bo supposed from what Mr. Ayrton had said. Boota:rr (solicitor to the company) remarked that shah capital could be raised without the consent of the Ferment. Ararox replied that the government bad an in terest in keeping clown surplus profits, because they red ruse the terms on which the line might ultimately ht purchased. Mr. D/RRETT mid the board could only raise capital for mirk; which hail been sanctioned by the shareholders, rid if the money were not found when it was required the company would be liable to forfeiture. 1. Sit tarrotnett exiled attention to the or'ginal agree sent with the East India Company, under which he said they were bound to find any capital which might be called itchy the Secretary of State for India. He dial not be- Ire it was the policy of the government to prevent them from earning surplus profits. Ur. AYRTI,a explained that what he meant was that it sight be the policy of the government that the people of hdia should have the benefit of any surplus profits. The SHAREHOLDER did not believe that WAS I , kely. Mr. Armor remarked that they had evidence on the Piat- After seine further discussion, the report was adopted, and the proceedings terminated in the usual manner. The revision of voters for the West Riding of Yorkshire (Northern division) has just been concluded. The total liberal gain on new claims is 591 votes, bat spinet this is to be set a loss of 42 upon the old list, thus leaving a net liberal gain upon the revision of 549 votes. We (Times) have much pleasure in announcing tat Statf-Commander Moriarty, who distinguished him selhliwing the laying of the Atlantic Cable, has been neirnmended for the honour of a commandership of the Huh. It is stated in the 3ldeithester Gitardian that Mr. W. G. Harcourt, to 'shorn the able letters under the apatare of " Historicus" upon disputed questions of ittemational law are ascribed, has been invited by Lord Stanley to act as one of the commissioners on the part of oar government to confer with those who may be named behalf of the United States to consider the discrepancies te maritime CO4ICA of the two countries, as well as the upnliency of bringing the laws of foreign enlistment in lath into unison. •It is felt by all who have considered the matter carefully," writes a correspondent of our con temporary, " that the accord of France is most desirable, int indispensable, and I have reason to know that pro- Pah bare been made for the attainment of this most Pliseworthy object." The report of the committee of investigation of the North British Railway has been issued. The commit tee say that the system which the accountants trace in the company's books is nut 'lonely one of general deception of the shareholders and misrepresentation of the company's shin —not merely deliberate falsification of accounts from year to year, so as to show the shareholders and divide among them a revenue not in existence and known Mt to bare been earned, but it was a careful and lee ingenious fabrication of imaginary accounts, hennaed carried on Irons thno to time, for the purpose cliaPPerting falsified half-yearly statements of revenue sad general misrepresentation of affairs. The present and Postponed liabilities of the company are 1,875,6751. The revenue account, up to the ;Ist July last, shows only a et balance of 113,0001. to meet preferential dividends amounting to ons,isio , ., exclusive of any dividend on the company's ordinary stock. A special meeting of the cons. PAY is called for the Itch November in Edinburgh. THE IlEritELt.

The o thermorning, about 5 o'clock, while a man Wall lighting gin the mill a piece of cotton was accidentally ignited ; come other cotton was afterwards set on fire, and in a shoot bee the whole of the room was in a complete blaze.

Yesterday (Thursday) morning, at about 5 o'clock, the up luggage train tan into a passenger carnage, which seems to have been shunted by mistake on to the up line near Chelmsford station, on the Colchester side, and there left. Neither the driver nor the stoker of the train were injured, but by the forte of the collision the passenger carriage was smashed, and the engine of the luggage train damaged, the buffers being torn off and the funnel and other parts broken, so that it had to be left at Chelmsford, while another engine took the train on to London. The carriage, which was the cause of the accident, was the composite passenger car riage to Chelmsford, attached to the last down luggage train on Wedneeday night, and which was as usual left i behind at Colchester. Strange to say, it had been officially I announced that Wednesday would be the last night this I carriage would be attached to the train.—Chelmsford I Chronicle.

SP. o. MONEY M. 'HIS DAY.) Ona The share markets opened quietly this morning, and very few dealings have since been reported. The funds are offered at, and exhibit a decline of per cent. British railway stocks are likewise rather dull, but the only movement in the chief lines is a reduction in Midland. North British is quoted the same as on Wednesday, the unfavourable statements contained in the report of the committee of shareholders, just issued, with regard to the past financial management of the undertaking having been anticipated, and the result being a large " bear" account in this stock at the present moment. As regards foreign bonds, the most noticeable feature is an inquiry for Turkish of 1865 and Greek. Atlantic Cable shares present a recovery. Sunday next being the 4th of the month, the demand for money to-day has somewhat increased, but the best paper is still taken at to ft per cent. be [ow the Bank minimum. The rate in the Stock Exchange for advances from day to day on English government securities is 3to 3 per cent. Consols are now quoted 8% to for money, and 89. i to for the Bth of November. _ _ The foreign stock market is quiet, with little business. Turkish of 1865 and Greek Bonds, how ever, are in request, and have risen 1 per cent. Spanish Passive, the Committee's Certificates, Italian of 1861, and Mexican are unaltered. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 571 to 581 ; ditto, 1865, 301 to / ; Greek, 14 to 1 ; Spanish Passive, 211 to 22; ditto Certificates, 13i to 14; ; Italian of 1861, 55g to / ; Mexican, 151 to 16A. American securities show no movement. The 5-20 Bonds are quoted 68, to 1 ; Brie Railway shares, 511 to / ; and Illinois Central, 77 to 1. Anglo-American Telegraph shares are in de mand, and have recovered 58., viz., to 141 to fi. Atlantic Telegraph are also 2s. 6d. better, at 4 3-16 to 5-16. International Financial shares are quoted 11 to 11 die. ; London Financial, 151 to 144 dis. ; General Credit, 21 to 2 dis. ; Credit Foncier, 4g to 4k dia. ; National Discount, 10 to 1 prem. ; and Hudson's Bay, 16g to /. HALF-PAST THREE O'CLOCK. Consols remain dull, at 891 i to for fur money, and 891 to g for the account (Nov.). About 108,000/. in gold has been bought by the Bank, and 7,0001. withdrawn for Alexandria. At I'aris this morning the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 681 r. 85c., showing no change. An examination of the Bank return, analysed below, which shows a further considerable falling off in the business of the discount department, combined with a satisfactory increase in the bul lion and reserve. It is true that a portion of such gold as comes in is now exported to the continent, and that some revival of the de mand for silver to the Eaat is to be looked for in course of time ; but, on the other hand, the Bank's position is decidedly strong ; a large amount of sovereigns will probably flow back to London this month from the provinces, the harvest being over; and there is no likelihood that a further relaxation in the money market would stimulate speculation, which is quite dead. The deputation appointed at the meeting held at the London Tavern last week, on the subject of the Atlantic and l'acific Railway through Nica ragua , united yesterday, by appointment, on Sir 'John Pakington, at the Admiralty. After remarks from Captain Bedford Pim, R.N., Mr. Hawksley, C. E., mid Captain Maury, D.C. L., the First Lord said that he had lung been sensible of the impor tance of the question, and he added that, subject to the approval of her Majesty's government to the project generally, he would have the greatest pleasure in giving his sanction to the occasional visits of sonic of her Majesty's men-of-war to the terminal ports of the route. The deputation, which included, besides the above gentlemen, Mr. J. I'. Gassiott, F.R.S. ; Admiral Young, director of the Royal Mail Company ; Mr. Eden Colville, direc tor of the Panama, New Zealand, and Australian Steam Company ; Mr. 0. M. Bowen, director of the West India and Pacific Steam Company ; Mr. Parke Pittar (of Messrs. P. Pittar and Co.) ; Lieut.. Colonel Money, and Mr. J. H. Murchi son, F.R.G.S., then withdrew, well pleased with the courtesy and attention with which they had been received. The prospects of the E"yptian Commercial and Trading Company (Limited) seem to be improving. The cotton crop in Egypt promises to be very abundant, and this increases the probability that the acceptances given by the government to the amount of 350,0001. ' and which will arrive at ma turity on the Ist of December, will be duly met. That the government would meet all the claims upon it was never doubted for a moment, but at one period there was a prospect of delay. As soon as these transactions shall have run off, it is hoped that the directors will find themselves in a position to refund within a few months a portion of the call of 31. per share which was lately paid by the share holders in order to extricate the company from its difficulties. We understand that Mr. Pascoe Du Pre Grenfell, of the Imperial Ottoman Bank ; Mr. John Stewart, of the same bank ; Mr. James Sanders, Mr. John Vesey Fitzgerald, and Mr. William Paxton, have joined the board within the last six weeks. The Great Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 3,366/. over the corre sponding period of 1865 ; the North Eastern, an increase of 4,425/. ; the Lancashire and Yorkshire, an increase of 4,4411. ; the Great Northern, an increase of 1,6101.; the London and South Western, an increase of 1,2531. ; the Great Eastern, an in crease of 2,1041. ; the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, an increase of 1,1011. ; the North British, an increase of 2, 2111 . ; the London, Chat ham, and Dover, including the Metropolitan Ex tension and branches, an increase of 1,426/. ; the Metropolitan Extension, an increase of 1131. ; and the Kent Coast, a decrease of 201. At the meeting yesterday of the Nova Scotia Land and Gold Crushing and Amalgamating Com pany (Limited) resolutions were passed in favour of the undertaking being wound up voluntarily. A general court of the Hudson's Bay Company will be held on the 20th inst., for the purpose of electing a governor, deputy-governor, and com mittee, for the ensuing year. The directors of the Russian Ironworks Com pany (Limited) have issued a circular to the share holders intimating that, under the advice of coun sel, they intend to appeal to the House of Lords against the decision in Stewart's case, and that the appeal will probably be heard next March. The Debenture Holders' Committee of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway have issued a notice, from which we extract the following : The rumours, so freely circulated, that an offer would he made to substitute an irredeemable debenture stock in lieu of the redeemable debentures, have apparently sub sided ; and the allusion at St. James's-hal l that the de benture holders had only paid 751. for every 100/. has been so entirely answered that the committee hope the subject will never again be revi v e d. The principal and interest of the debentures due on 30th June last have now been un paid nearly four months, and the company have not. as yet, indicated in any way how those debts are to be liquidated, although the shareholders for their own saidaction have examined into their accounts, and changed a number of the directors. It is true that the receipts for the present half-year, less the working expenses and neoesaa r y p a y ments, are being pail into the Court of Chancery, but the balance will go • very little way towards paying the amounts due to the debenture holders, leaving the deficiency and interest due at Christmas unprovided for. As the company will pro bably apply to parliament for further borrowing powers, it will be necessary for the committee to be prepared for any such application, and to be in a position to protect and of maintain, in all their integrity, the nghts sad interests the debenture holders.

Buckley, stationed at Cuttack, flrissa. writes:— " Orphans have been brought dying to our door, and many that we have received have been too deeply famine-stricken for nursing and medicine to restore. After a few short days death has closed the scene. Tender and delicate women lying in our verandah have implored rice, ur money to purchase it, with cries that have pierced our hearts. Two cases of eating human flesh have been reported ; in the one case it was proved that the person was lineage ; in the other a child was found eating its dead father's flesh, which had been roasted, and a few days after the child Mothers have left their children in the upsilon (dung hill) to die, or have sold them fur a few lice. In one case an only son was sold for a pint of milk ; the mother eagerly drank it, gave up her child, walked a few steps, and then dropped down dead. The dying and the dead have been seen lying in our streets ; though this has not been so much at Cuttack as at Balssore ,aril some other places. At l'ooree it has been common for the police to find, morning after morning, in the g-treets and lanes, bO, 70, SO, or more corpses! In the Cuttack district 4,000 deaths from famine and pe s tiletice were reported in one week, and it is generally believed that at Bidasore and l'ooree the distress has been : everer than here." [Mr. Buckley is a General Baptist Mils:ion:try, who has been at Cuttack many years. He is a 1, , icesterahire man, and preached in Nottingham several times during hi. last visit to England ten or twelve years ago.l-- Notting. hula Journal. A FAirr FOR GEOLooprric—ln sinking a shaft at the Garden tin mine, in Morvab, the in ii have met with a perfect pillar, about eight inches in diameter, standing, so to speak, in the solid rock, and very different in its compontion from the surrounding granite. Angl, what is stranger still, at the hese of this pillar they have come upon what they say is a fly-wheel of the same material. Large pieces, both of the pillar and wheel. were exhibPed to the adventurers at the account meeting in Priglay last, and some portions of both are still left unbroken in the rock, that the curious may see for themselves. —Cornish A. DANOEROUS PINCUSRION.—On Saturday last Mr.'. Catherine Bawling, of the Quay, I'cm:once, was hanging out clothes to dry, and had made it. pin repository of her mouth, when she was suddenly called to come in to !ger baby, and turning, 17 pins slipped down her throat. need of them lodging to her gullet. Iktween the sense of choking, the pain, and the fright, she was sa e ' -" zl: Neighbours came to her assistance, and one of ileum, Mrs. Michael Ituberta, resorted to the old-rash I, but in this case efficacious, method of persistently slapping the patient's back. In the course of two hours 11 pins were sl,pped lip and three down, but beyond the pain and irri tation of the throat, no unpleasant results have yet followed. —Cornish Telrfrraph. A FACTORY DIsEASE.—In the recently issued re- t ports by inspectors of factories attention is called to a curious form of disease which has appeared iu some of the flax-mills at lielfast. It is thus described by a Belfast physician:—" In Belfast, a very painful malady is pre valent amongst the milhworkers, more so, 1 ihiok, than in any other places—l mean o:,ychis. maligns.' The subjects of it believe that it is neiinly caused by having to stand, whilst at work, in the water which drops from the spinning frames. They usually get a knock upon one of their toes, which inflames; the nail drops off, and an exquisitel painful ulceration, with reproduction of a d eformed nai l, follows. They are thrown out of work, and it is only by a severe operation and protracted treatment in hospital that they are finally cured. Last year, in the general hospital, out of 1,300 cases, we had 314 cases of onychi ; several, however, were relapses." This painful disease, it is said, occurs much more frequently in Ireland than in England, because in the Irish flax mills tile men and girls work barefoot all day, " with the water from the flyers dropping upon them." Woof on:gs.—Woodcocks are very plentiful in Cornwall this season ; the supply is considerably larger than has been known for more than twenty years. In Devonshire the birds have only appeared during the last few days. A TORT PROPOSITION FOR I REL AN D. —The priests must be, by some process or another, rendered independent of their congregations. There are among them many excellent men, who would he glad, if they could, to give as much promirence in their teaching to loyalty to the crown, and obedience to the laws, as to loyalty to the church. In the present temper of the people this is scarcely possible, for priests must live, and Fenian, secret and avowed, will hardly ray their fees to the teachers of good citizenship. This is a fact that all who know anything of Ireland are aware of, though fans. tics and ignorant men refuse to credit it. For it is with the priestly order as with other orders of men, that the n&sy few bring discredit on the respectable many ; and the best way of putting a stop to such a "We of things is to let the whole body use that the laws are good, and the crown well-ilispoaa towards them. Glebes and glebe houses provided at the public expense, with the same kind of aid in money which is rendered to the Presbyterian clergy in Ireland, would in no degree affect their perfect liberty of action, while it raised the priests above a state of absolute dependence on their flocks. As to the Mate bliahed Church, we do not believe that any rational Irishman, be his creed what it may, desires to destroy it. Ireland cannot afford to Ices more resident gentry fmm its rural districts.—Blackwood's Napa/dee for November.
