The CZinwor to affixing the seal to the register of the ahmeholders announced that the chairman of the company, Mr. Edmund Denial, M.P., was ill at Dowfastm, but ho was happy say from a letter received thls morning that the hon. gentleman was rapidly recovering. As reivded the register it had been thoroughly ezamfa.d end its authenticity wee verified ma well by the accountant as the registrar himself, and there could be no doubt me lo i accuracy. The se ei having bees duly axed, the report wee taken es reed. The CH tiRNIAN, in moving the reception of the report, observed that the principal item of expense this half-year was for engineering works. From Bitable to London the line had bees Oati-jointed, in other parts of the line they. had been many removals and repairs, and in one point con siderable beaming, and all these intim had been charged to femme. The line was in • highly th icut st.ite, And mo.t likely in future accounts some of these charge a would not occur. Them bad been many renewals and repairs In the loemootive departrocat, but se some of those arose ottt of en unfortunate secidenh m : was equally probable that a portion of charges would not appear again in their accounts. Since the report w ee honed the Court of Bankruptcy had allowed this company to prove se creditors under Redpath's estate; ea yet the amount had not been aacertained, and therefore It could not be brought Into the sea oust. As regarded their neigh bours he was happy to say they were workin= amicably with the Manchester, Sheffield, sod Linco while more recently the directors had entered into m arreagenmat with the Midland which could not fail to prove other than advantageous to both compseies. He was sorry to say that owing to the premature death of Mr. Paget, of the Midland, the propped' for • settle :and of the differences between the Great Northern and the London sad North western had fallen through. An emeenamit for sock a millennia was drawn up and signed by this company ; but, unfortunately, beim it could be ratified by the other all., Mr. Paget's death and then the negotiati.e. had been commenced in non. ccordingly, no later ago than yesterday, the company offered the Loodo n and North Nt 'stern board Mil Uttar terms than them previously mentioned ; but, he regretted to say, they bed been rejected. There could be no doubt, however, that It waa norms to both roommise to be at loggerheads tom ther,sed he sincerely hoped the time was nut far dieing when the two boards would be again brought into amicable Ma riam with each other. (Cheers.) Mr. OCTATirx Dost•N, M.P., seconded the motion for the adoption of the remit Mr. MATH sews moved as an emeedment that the igen be doped, with the exception of that pirtiGn of it whisk seise, to the dividend, and that this part be eimmiled by making the dividsnd payable on the B stock 61. 10e.

Sic. - He objected to carrying them aoest received from the ltcdpath Wade to the seat account. He objected to the charges for the school and church at Doncaster, and when the company was more prosperous he shoaled file a bill in Chancery against the directors on this subject. Ma.

TER EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 19, 1858. SHARE LIST S.-THIS DAY 2111713111011 SALWIL Me Pam Lair Ate . Two o'OwM. The railway share market to-day is inanimate. In some instances prices are slightly lower, but, with the exception of Lanouhire and Yorkshire stock, which has declined to 961 to 96, the alteration is not of much importance. London and North Wee tern stock is now quoted 102 to 1; Midland, 100 to ; London and South Western, 491 to 60 per share ; Great Northern, 261 to 27; and Eastern Counties, 121 to t. Grand Trunk of Canada shares are in great demand, and have risen to 131 to 1. Great Western of Canada, and Sambre and Meuse shares are more inquired for. Pernambuco remains flat. East Indian Railway stock continues in request, and is officially marked from 113 to 1131. ORDINLIIT NUR= LND ITOOIL MONEY MARKET-THIS DAY Two o'CLoow. The funds continue to rise. A fresh advance of I to I per cent. has been established this morning. In the share markets there is no animation what ever. Consols for the 4th March were first marked 971, and are now quoted 97} " buyers." For money the present quotation is 97,1 " sellers." The Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in at 971 to 98 ; the N ew Three per Cents., at 971 to 981 ; Bank Stock, at 22d to 227 ; Exchequer Bills, at 30s. to 355. prem. ; Exchequer Bonds, 1889, at 104 ; and India Bonds, at 30s to 32e. prem., showing a further im provement. . . . . by on woregweeet. He had stated hie willingness to area the rehreses to Mr. Buller, wil dzglijoialt amosnietse mad had ea the ed the imenealey to submit any questions weeset is be gadded by c;...pstent Ho Yet night esederi lv raon the part of the other that they that the London and North Weems y had to der all the matters in =0 nation. The one of this company had been bat he believed that the proprietors would in the end wades remunerative rates by the competition, proving that Wein was the beet line. no direellers recommended a small dividend, ving that by me doing they best considered the interests o b f elie the cowpony. He would now make the formal notion that the repeat be received, lo suable any proprietor to put any question he might wish to him. Mr. Lucite took reception to the latter part of the report. He had **quietly heard the some segment& used in favour ef leaving • large balance 'a th e h ea d s o f th e directors, but he thought the time had arrived when it wee no to leave • eure t z t of 40,0001. and 60,0001 undi ns;l:d..arile claimed the measure consistent with the intense of the company, sad he begged to move that the dividend for the Self year be increased to fri per cent., which would leave a balance of 13,00611. A PROPISIrTOR conceived that there out to be • higher dividend declar e d, an d observed that if the half-year they paid a dividend o f 2 1 ,.... e cent. there would still be a balance of 14,0001. H e t the directon wee bound by law to declare as h • dividend as the in terns of the company jpeentited. Instead of rising as they ought to have done from 10 to 20 per cent. they had f all en born 10 to 6 per cent., and the con clusion woe inevitable that there were sixes powers some where adverse to the interest of the company. Lord Burnt understood that there wer no Met objec tion to the adoption of the report. He Wed been • shareholder of the company for • great many yews and he had always had such confidence in the board that he had never before been present at one of the meeting,. It appeared, however, that the directors wished to ;:tat railway policy, and pay u small a dividend as possible. this he wished to remonstrate, and to draw attention to what the state of affairs was formerly. At first railways looked after the interests of proprietors, bat now ell the corn ries like the Greet Northern and London and North were perpetually playing • game at chess one agls u l l de other. they wanted their dividends ape they must put an end to this system of competition. He had an accusation to bring against some pert of this company, which wee the overbearing insolence with which they treated smaller interests. He was • trines of the Bridgewater Canal, and the overbearing insolence with which they told this company to lower their fares, was more than flesh and blood could bear. Another subject of complaint was the want of dvility to be met with amongst the weployis of the company, which contrasted very unfavourably with the conduct of the officers of the Great Northern Com pany. He believed that these were some of the mesons why they were toeing money. He hoped that in future every effort would be used to avoid competitiooqn, and he saw no other way of getting out of their present dibreaor than by submitting the whole matter to arbitration. Mr. WAN . woe mortified that with a balance only of 6001. less than last year they were to receive • dividen d of half per cent. lee. The y had a large increase In the capital of the company, and be thought that cartein changes should be made against capital instead of revenue. He wished to ask what surplus 51 per tent would leave them, and whether the surplus revenue in hand would bear • dividend of 6i per cent. . . . . . . ♦ PROPRIETOR believed that want of civility from the company had driven many Manchester manufacturers to the Manchester and Sheffield end Great Northern Railways. Mr. R. Y•axoy declared that the conduct of the Man chester and Sheffield Company towards their company had shown • want of good faith. (The meeting was proceeding when we went to prem.)

In other foreign stocks the transactions have been upon a less active scale, but although the market is lees buoy ant in character, much steadiness prevails. Sales are recorded as follows:—Brazilian Old Five per Cents. 103 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 68 ( Exchange 126.) ; French Three per per Cent. Rentee, 69L 76c.

At Paris, to-day (Friday), according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentee opened at 70.30, for the account, showing a fresh improvement of fully per cent. The shares of the Canada Land Company this morning exhibited a partial reaction. Transactions took place early in the day at 166 to 110, bat the present quotation is about 162, " sellers." _ The amount of gold sent into the Bank yesterday was 19,0001. The continental demand now absorbs a considerable proportion of the imports, and will continue to do so. In the discount market high-class bills continue to be negotiated at 21 to 2k per cent. At the Bank the applications were again limited. The Bank of France have just reduced the rate of discount from 4j per cent., at which it wu fixed on the 6th inst., to 4 per cent. As indicated in the Express of the 10th and 16th inst., this step was generally anticipated. It has, therefore, produced little effect upon the Bourse. At Berlin on Thursday an advance took plaoe in Russian Stock. The 111,070/. in specie ez the steamer Orinoco, from the West Indies, will be delivered to-day. The 65,8761. in gold will probably be taken for the Continent. The amount of specie and bullion shipped on board the Colombo, which will leave Southampton for Alexandria to-morrow, is less than was anti cipated, some parcels having been held back for the next packet. The total is 217,4681., of which 3,8101. is gold and 213,658/. silver, inclusive of 30,0001. in Mexican dollars despatched to Hong Kong on account of government. The particulars are as follows, viz. :—For Ceylon, gold, 3,2001.; for Madras, gold, 8101., and silver, 6631.; for Calcutta, silver, 112,3501.; for Penang, silver, 3,1001.; for Singapore, silver, 1,3864 ; for Hong Kong, silver, 77,3484 ; and for Shanghai, silver, 20,2201. At Frankfort the exchange on London has de clined to 1161. A petition to the House of Commons has received the signatures of nearly all the leading firms in the Stock Exchange, praying that the provision in the bill introduced by Sir George Grey, Viscount Pal-1 merston, and Mr. Morey, which abolishes the existing I tax upon brokers in the City of London, may re ceive the sanction of the house. As everybody knows, the antiquated regulations of which the brokers complain afford no security whatever to the public, whilst the impost is simply unjustifiable. In the produce market yesterday plantation Ceylon coffee realised an advance of Is. per cwt. Tea de clined Id. per lb. Cotton was firm and rice fiat. The forthcoming dividend of the South Eastern Railway Company is officially announced at the rate of 21. 6s. Bd. per cent. for the half-year.

The Eastern Counties Railway traffic return pre sents this week a decrease of 415/. ; the North Eastern, a decrease of 2211.; the Lancashire and Yorkshire, a decrease of 1,8201. ; and the Manchester and Sheffield, a decrease of 15/. At the annual meeting of the Berlin Water Works Company yesterday it was stated that the excess of expenses over receipts for the lest six months is re duced to 2691., the revenue having improved. The directors' report was adopted. A call of 11. is to be made forthwith on the new shares not already paid up. The second annual meeting of the Oriental Inland Steam Company was held yesterday. The report states that twelve vessels (steamers and barges) are far advanced towards completion, and are expected to be ready for shipment to India in April next. Their coat is expected to be at least 10,0001. within the estimate previously given. The East India Com pany have consented to increase the subvention to 10,00 W. a year, instead of 5,000/., as before arranged. The improvement in the market for American securities is thus noticed by Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. : During the week there has been a wry active demand for the various descriptions of American wourities. State stocks have been in mut b request, and trantactlons have taken place at generally higher prices. Railroad bonds and shares have also been in good demand, and our quotations in moat cams are materially higher. TrICRSDAT Btnrna. The funds this morning were doll, and at one period a decline of / per cent. was presented. In the afternoon, however, some animation prevailed, and a decided advance took place, assisted by news of a reduction in the rate of discount at Pars. The market' finally closed with firmness, and Ito per cent. higher than yesterday. This is the highest point yet touched. In the other departments of the Stock Exchange there was no activity, but firmness was displayed, and at the close the tendency was favourable. Good securities of all kinds continue to be steadily ab sorbed by bona fide investors. Consols, which closed yesterday at 971 to for the 4th March, opened this morning at the same quotation, and closed at exactly 971, or 97 7-16 to 9-16. For money the last price was 971 "sellers."

Exchequer Bonds, falling payable in 1859, 1001, 1001. Exchequer Bills closed at 335. to 375. pram., showing a decline of 2s. to 3s. The late rapid rule, coupled with the expectation of a reduction in the rate of interest on these securities, has naturally induced a few sales. India Bonds , on the other ha nd, have risen to 275. to 30s. prem. Exchequer Bonds, falling payable in May, 1859, continue in demand, and are officially marked as high as 1001.

RontoN.—That he is, or ever can be, the great actor some critics have alleged —a possible Kean, who has only to make the attempt, in eider to electrify the world as Shylock or Overreach—is a proposition we should be sorry to endorse. The cipabflity of real and sustained passion, the dignity of conception, the metery of voice, feature*, and gesture, the continuous development of character, which are necessary fur the tragic drama, are something very diffident from those etfel bursts of intensity and vehemence in Hr. Robson, which are mistaken by many for • high order of histrionic power. The absence in this performer of good Mate, of the instinct which knows where to stop, has always made us distrustful of his power to rise to any great eminence even as a comedian ; sad the constant tendency in seri ma parts toexaggeraied vehemence in his expression of emotion makes us donbt, whether he has not permanently injured hienself by she habit of caricaturing feeling end pass i on in those miserable travesties which have generally k.pt him before the public. His Mite do not disappear with time, but rather masers ; and it ie to be feared, unless this pro mising artist turns • deaf ear to his flatterers, and devotee himself to • careful study of life and character ' to may sink wn into a mannerist, who wiU go on reiterating his "effects long alter the public have gro callous to them. If be is to do any good, he meet give up burlesque and mere farce, at least for • thee, end try to get himself acted with cha racters which will test his capabilitiee, and teak them to the uttermast.—Freser's Mayeerm for February. 17 Fs 1166 41 r 4 iN N K - a X 40 106 101 66 - Y II 10 U 'JE. , .► II $i 41 ai 100 1001 70 14 - i, i It II in IN a a SA N 46 II I i ilt I, tai 72i 8 1 ni gt , i il 111 4 a 111 3 ad iiiii• moo .1 oD .o ii lii • ii a. .. s. .. 1.1 •0 . % a 0.000 10 1000 .. 14 .. 4.14 • • .. so.odoi 4.000 12.000! 4.0001 44.0041 s.ono eo.onn' a,ouol N ! 1111 101 N N 44 87 N 101 101 14 17 10 104 74 N 74 10 Si 10 14 IN 140 Ii - 1 i 102 104 IS SG 11 15 NS 113 71 73 IT LI 10.101 N s 460 460 100 106 16 17 I n 11 10 11 16 17 6 ICI Ei ti 1 91 WI 610 .....
