He told ham he was convinced it wan, sod that he must go with him in a cab to Messrs. Coutta'a, which be did, and he was given into custody. He had since ascertained that the prisoner was not Wilfred Brougham. Upon that evidence the prisoner was remanded until yesterday, when Mr. Mullen§ called Mr. Yuan, clerk to Messrs.

The prisoner then inked him to see what money he had in the house, as he wanted some, and must have it, as be wanted to go to Blackwell to pay for the repairs of his yacht. He had just sent out for change for a draft for 501., and the money was lying on the table at the time, and be told the prisoner that if he must bare money be could have that. He rid that would do for the present ; his brougham would be at the office at four or five o'clock, and he would come back for the difference, after which he suggested that they should go and dine together.

He remained a short period, and left with the other collector; he returned at twenty minutes to nine o'clock, stopped a few minutes, and again left at half-past eleven u clock. I loaded a pistol belonging to me in the toll house, and placed it on the desk—the charge was small shot—from this flask—(a common pistol unloaded, and • flask containing No. 4 shot were here pro duced, and identified by the wastes, who continued) — About three minutes after 12 o'clock I went to the gate to take toll of • geutleouni who offered rue half • sovereign to change. I was detained about two minutes, arid then beard the report of a pistol. I turned to see from whence it came, and perceived a young woman lying near the toll house door on her side, and dorm by the footpath. Prisoner was standing close by. He threw up his hands, exclaiming " Good God, what have I done ! I did not think that the pistol was loaded." This he repeated several times. The first vitamin lifted the deceased up, and then I noticed blood gushing very fast from the side of the head. Mr. Leigh—Where did you next see the pistol produced? Witness-1n the toll-house, • few feet from the spot on which I had placed it, but I doe't know who put it there. Mr. Leigh—Did you notice if it had been recently dis charged? Witnem—l did not. Mr. Leigh—Hare you any knowledge of either of the young women? Witnesa—l have seen them pan the gate occasionally. Dr. Julius }Mistake, of the Berman Ho s pit a l—l have made only an external examination of the deceased. There was a large wound beneath the left lower jaw, as made by shot ' • the jaw was fractured, and the large blood vessels were injured. There were not any shot marks on the face, they had entered priozipally in a body, but were slightly scattered, and in all probability reached the bruin. Carew,B69N—Whileon duty near the toll-house, between 12 and 1 o'clock in the moruing,tbe prisoner came to me from a crowd of persons, and said, pointing to a woman lying on the ground, •• I have shot this person, take me in charge."

I heard the explosion ; but did not see him take up the pistoL" Mr. Leigh—This, if taken as evidence, would not throw any light upon the matter. The prisoner will be committed to Monate for trial, and if necessary you can be celled there. The depositions were then completed, and the aceneed, who reserved his defence, was fully committed. THE CASE OF SYSTEMATIC POISONING. Yesterday Constance Wilson alias Catherine Taylor was again brought up at Lambeth Pollee.court for further and final examination, on the charges of causing the deaths by pausal of Mn. Mazy Soames and Mrs. Ann Atkinson. The court, se on former occasions, was crowded to excess, and the proceedings lasted till half-past seven o'clock. Mr. Chipperfield appeared, as before, for the prosecution ; and Yr. Neale for the prisoner. She remained seated in the dock in the most perfectly unconcerned manner during the lengthened proceedings. Mr. Chipperfield said that be Bret proposed to complete the evideuce in the case of Mrs. Scams, and this he should do by calling one or two more witnesses to speak to the facts already in evidence. He should all a gentleman named Baker, who was trustee under the will of the late, Captain Mower, of Boston, sad would not only prove the amount of the primer's income, but would also speak to her handwriting. He should also call a gentleman named Sleath, who had been educated for the legal protemios, bat who was now the editor of a Liocoloshire paper, is an ex- pert in handwriting, and would prove that the several I lettere which had been produced in evidence in the case were in the handwriting of the prisoner at the bar. Mr. John Henry Baker was then called, and deposed that he was a builder, and the sole surviving executor sod trus tee under the will of the late Mr. Peter Hewer, the probate of which be produced. Under that will the prisoner bad life interest in eight dwelling-houses in Baton, producing 484 per annum, and also was entitled to the interest on the sum of 1501. which had been produced by the sale of a share in • ship, and which sum bad been put out at interest at 4; per cent. On the 7th November, 1855. lie had paid the prisoner the sum of 8121., whi c h, after deducting the succession duties, and the repairs of the houses, was the balance due to her. In the year 1856 the payments he made to her amounted altogether to 211. 16s. 6d., and he was not aware that she had any other income. He was well ac quainted with the prisoner's handwriting, having received, he should say upwards of a hundred letters from her, and though he did ' not remember that he had ever seen her write, be had always relied on and recognised her correspondence. The letter already produced, and which reached the house of the late Mrs. Stamm on the Monday following her death, and which purported to come from the " man" with whom it was alleged by the prisoner that the deceased had formed& connexion, was here handed to the witness, who, after minutely examining it, said that to the best of belief, though written in a firm hand, it was in the hand writing of the prisoner. Re formed that opinion from the spelling of some of the words, from the formation of some of the letters, and from a comparison with the correspon dence he had in his possession. Mr. Neale inquired of the witness if there was any money now due to the prisoner 1 The witness replied—Not now. Mr. Chipperfield—No, the last payment of 151. was made to you, Mr. Neale, and I have your receipt for it. (Laughter.) Mr. John Sorfieet Heath was next called, and deposed that be lived in West-street-road, Beaton, and was the editor of the Lincolnshire Herald. He had known the pri soner for many years, and had himself been articled to the law. The prisooer had communicated with him as a soft of agent for her, and he received numerous letters from her in 1855, and down to the month of January, 1856. He hail seen the prisoner write, and was well acquainted with the character of her handwriting. The letter now produced (the " man's " letter) he had already examined, and he believed it to be in the prisoner's hand writing. He came to that conclusion from having compared it with letters in his own possession, as well as with letters in the possession of Mr. Chipperfield which bad been proved io the case ; aod he proved that in eight or ten par ' ticulars the letters have a strong resemblance both in the shape of the letters and in the spelling. Mrs. Sarah Allen, who bad been examined on a former day, was now recalled, and in addition to her pre, dui testimony deposed that she lived in Alfred.place Bedford square, next door to the deceased, whom she halknown for many years before her death, and was very intimate with her. She had seen her alive on the Wednesday preceding her death, when the deeessed was cleaning her door, between S and 10 in the morning, and was then in her usual good health. The deceased was • very strong, healthy person, and witness had never heard of her being ill. On the Satur day eveoiegafter the death witness was taken up stairs by the prisoner to see the corpse, which had a very shocking and dreadful appearance. The Bogen were very much drawn up, the hands were partly clenched, and she features were very much distorted, and in comequentie she (wltz s es:l mid to the prisoner that she thought the de looked a very dreadful corpse. In reply to Mr. Chipper field, the witness said she remembered the circumstance of the robbery alleged by the prisoner to have been committed in the room she had occupied in the house of the deceased. She bad spoken to the prisoner on the subject, when the latter stated that she had been out, had been detained longer than she expected, and that when she came home a little after 12 o'clock at night, she found her room door open, her drawers broken into, and everything carried away, and she added that she had lost nearly 200/. in money and clothes. Sergeant White, 16 D, said that on the 29th of July last be was present at the exhumation of the body of the late Mrs. Soames, whose coffin bore an inscription which he bad copied, and now handed in. He received portions of the body of the deceased from Mr. Whedborn. They were contained in six jars, one bottle, and three parade, and the whole of which he (witness) delivered at Guy's Hospital to Mr. Pryor, the assistant to Dr. Taylor. Mrs. Riley (faulted) stated that she had been reffultrlY employed as charwoman by the deceased on the Frulay of every week up to the time of her death, and that on one occasion the prisoner came to her in the kitchen, and said she was so had with a pain in her face that she should be glad if the witness would go to • doctor's shop for her. Witness consented, and the prisoner pre her a phial about the length of her first finger, and a small piece of paper. on which was written what she was to get, together with six pence to pay for it. Witness cannot read, and therefore cannot say what was on the paper. She took it with the bottle to the shop of • chemist, in Tottenham-tart-road, where she handed in the paper, got sixpsonyworth of the stuff in the phial, and came away. She looked at the phial because it seemed such a little drop for simmers. The liquid was rather thick, and its colour was • dark brown. A week gr two before the death of kirs.Soames t h e prisoner had a ecevenation with witness about that lady. The prisoner came to her in tie tole kitchen, and said to her, "M. flames is going to change her situation, but I do not think it will take piece, as she his found that the person had not tamed oat as she expected, or what she thought he was.", Witness thought the prisoner also WU that the person wee a 'bus proprietor. In tossearaninatics, the witness maid she had not stead these totters when she was last stained, because she bad Dot been asked about them. Lot week she was prepared to make the same statement, but though in attendant she was not called. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Henry Or/firer was charged with having caused the death of an infaet under the following circumstances. A few days ago a hamper was left by a man at the resi dence of Dr. Battik Penman, which on ban opened was found to contain an infant apparently in a dying state. The infant was sent to Bt. James's Workhouse, and some days afterwards the mother, Maria Marsh, was apprehended, and brought to this court, charged with having caused the death of the child, which expired in the workhouse soon after being sent there. The prisoner was suspected of being the man who left the hamper at Dr. Parlltt's, and be was taken in custody and charged accordingly. The servant of Dr. Partin. who received the hamper from the roan who brought it, could not swear positively to the prisoner.. The prisoner was accordingly diecharged by Mr. Tyrwbitt, but as the jury at the coroner's inquest had returoed a verdict implicating the wigwam and Maria Marek, the pri soner bad no sooner left the bar than he wee taken in custody and sent to Newgate at the coroner's warrant WORSHIP-STREET.

I am a single woman, living at 8, Rosemary-street, Hoxtoo. I knew Susan Dimmock, the deceased, she was about 18, and lived, I be here, at Haggerstone. About 12 o'clock last night I met her on this side of Dalston-gate, and was walking by her side when, as we passed the toll•honee, and while she was speaking to me, I heard the report of fire-arms—l believe a pistol. It sounded as coining from the toll-house or by the aide of it. Susan Dimmoek did not scream or speak, but fell instantly at my feet I touched her arm and said Get up." but she made no reply. I then tried to raise her by the shoulder; her bonnet came off, and thee I mw blood on the side of her bead. I moused the road and spoke to a 7oung man, exclaiming at the same tune, "Good God, she is shot."

The remaining depositions having been read, Mr. Chip perfield clewed the evidence as regarded the death of Mn. boames ; and Mr. Neale, on behalf of the prisoner, said he shonldreserve the defence. Mr. Chipperfield neat said be was prepared to complete the evidence in the care of Kra. Atkinson. itioos of the witnesses already taken were severally read over to and signed by them. Mary Ann Braden, who had lived as servant with the pri soner before and at the time of Mrs. Atkiosoo's decease, was recalled,aod added to her former deposition that for some time before Mrs. Atkinson came she had from time to time been sent by the prisoner to pledge various articles. She had been sent to the pawnbrokers two or three time. a week, and she bad pawned two silk dresses, one for 2/. 10‘.. ring , . • watch, gold chain, and other valuables. She had even been not to pawn a petticoat for 9d., and on one occasion the prisoner had induoed her to pawn a dress of witticism's own for her. This system of pawning continued up to Mrs At kinson's arrival, but while Mrs. Atkinson was lying ill in the house, the prisoner sent her to redeem the silk dress which bad been pledged for 21. 10.., and after Mrs. Atkin son's death she had been sent to redeem other goods, for which she had a dozen of duplicates, and she took a clothes-basket to take them home. She could not re member the sum she had paid to redeem them. In reply to a question from the magistrate, the witness said that though Mr. Atkinson had directed the pawner to let her (witness) have all the deceased's clothes with the exception of a black cloth cloak, which the prisoner was to keep herself, all she had received from the prisoner was the lady s stays._ _ Mr. Sleath was then recalled, and repeating his former evidence as to the knowledge of the prisoner's handwriting, deposed that the letter received by Mr. Atkinson after him wife's death, and purporting to come from the last witness, praying pecuniary assistance for her mistress, was in the prisoner's handwriting. The whole of the witnesses in the case were then bound over, and the prisoner was committed on both charges for trial at the September session at the Central Criminal Court. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN. (Continued from yesterday's Express.) After the adoption of the feport, Mr. G. WALLER said the chairman bad not made any explanation as to the rates they were borrowing at. The CHAIRMAN said they were borrowing at 4 per cent. for long periods, which he thought better than borrowing at 2i or 3 for short periods. They could borrow for a abort period at 2. The Cu/annex then moved that a dividend of U. 17s. 6d. per 100 stock, and so in propirtion on shares of a lower nominal amount, be now declared out of the net profits of the company, up to the 30th JUDO leak upon the stock and shares of the proprietors entitled to the same, after making or alleiriog the usual deductions on the amounts not paid op, and deducting the proportion of dividend payable in respect of any period for which the proprietors of shares are not entitled to dividend. The motion was agreed to. The following resolutions were also passed :—" That the proposal to execute the works stated in the report of the directors be approved, and that this meeting sanction the addition to the capital of the company of the sum of 22.5401. for such purposes; and that the sum of 38811.85., certified by the auditor to have been expended in the half-year ending 30th June, 1862, in the improvement of the permanent way, be transferred to the capital account, under a separate and distinct bead." "That John Beak, of Aldershot-place, Hants ; Robert C. Currey, of Peel-terrace, Canniogntreet, Liverpool ; Edward Smith, of Wicker Iron Works, Sheffield; Bamboos Walker. of Birmingham ; and Samuel Charlie Whitbread, of The Brewery, Chiswelletreet, London, &qrs., be the audit committee for the ensuing year." Mr. MITCHILL mid be should press his resolution relat ing to the depression of the line. The CHAIRMAN said the proposition was a general one. There was no special object to be gained by it. The direc tors did not want to increase their territory, which they thought quite large enough, and under these circumstances he appealed to the honourable proprietor not to press it. Mr.lirrcitzu said, after that explanation,he would with draw it. Mr. Moon then vacated the chair, which waa takes by Mr. Wcattead. Mr. Burros amid, at the last half-yearly meeting he gave notice of a motion that the chairman should be allowed the same salary as that which was paid to the Marquis of Chan dra, and he now moved a resolution to that effect. Mr. Row; aecooded.,.He said he considered it an act of strict justice. . . . . The; CHAIRMAN, in reply to questions put to him. said the amount at present allowed to the directors would be about 1001. • year each. The total amount was 4,00 W. a year. The amount paid to the Marquis of Chandos was 2,0001. a year. Mr. Havasu, observed that Mr. Denison, the chairm►n of the Great Norther•, did not get 2,0001. a year, and he thought this was hardly • time to briog forward such • re ankh°, when they were receiving so small • dividend. Mr. WILLIAMS thought the patronage • sufficient remune. ratio*. Mr.Antr. thought they ought to have a man who would do his work properly, and be properly paid. He asked if this oompany had anything to do with the Pneumatic Dee. patch Company. The CHAIRMAN used it had not, and in reply to another question saidthare was no doubt Mr. Moon devoted the whole of his time to the affairs of the company. The feeling of the Weed was that this was a question for the proprietors. Mr. CIINIFIELD, one of the auditors, supported the motion. Mr. BNERTON moved as an amendment that an additional 2,0001. a-year, making 6,0001. a year, be granted to the directors for their services, and that they apportionit among themselves. Dir. mrrcazu, moved u an amendment that 5,0001. • year be u anted. Mr. Symms withdrew hie amendment in favour of Mr. Mitchell's. Mr. TIPPING supported the original motion, and appealed to the meeting whether they would say that while a mar quis was worth 2,0004 a year a commoner was only worth 1,0001. The CHAIRMAN then put the amendment and the original motion when there appeared for the amendment 34, f or th e original motion 41. The meeting was then made special, to consider the crea tion of, and if approved, concurring in the creation by the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company of 2,468,000/. Lew preference stock, to be issued in substitution for their 3,455,000/. of existing stock, M the proportion of 501. of 5 per cent. stock for each 1001. stock bearing interest at 2j per cent., and 1101. for each 1001. stock bearing interest at 5j per cent., such new stock when so issued in substitu tion of the existing stock to be guaranteed by the London and North Western Railway Company. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN a resolution confirming this proposition was agreed to. A vote of thanks was then given to the chairman, and the meeting separated. SOUTH WALES. The thirty-fifth half-yearly meeting of this company took place yesterday, at the Great Western Royal Hotel, Paddington ; Mr. C. R. M. T4LPIOT, M.P., in the chair. The report, which has already been published, wu taken Y read. The CHAIRMAN stated that as this was the first meeting which had taken place since the operation of the arrange ment entered lOW six months ago between the three nom. pinies—the Great Western, West Midland, and South Wales—he felt it advisable to make a few o bservations in reference to the result of that arrangement. In the first "place, he was glad to find that the directors were enabled to declare moba dividend as be had led them to expect. In point of fact they were dividing 3j per cent., and not 31 per cent., as recommended in the report ; because it would be recollected that, in accordance with the sanction of the shareholders, it was agreed that 3,0004 should be paid during the half-year to the officers of the company, as remuneration for special services performed. In conside retina of this sum of 3,0001. it had been suggested by the auditors and the gentlemen who composed the committee that a quarter per cent. should be deducted and charged to the revenue. Hence the difference in the amount of din. deed be had alluded to. He now thought it right to make some remarks in reference to the opinions which had been expressed at meetings, and by the public press, to the effect that under the existing arrangement between the three companies, the South Wales Company had obtained an advantage over the others which could not be considered lair. Now, if they compared the dividends of the three companies, and looked to results, without looking tocauses, it might appear that the South Wales Compa had gained an advantage over Ohs Great Western and West Midland Companies, but that supposition would not stand investiga tion. They had doubtless men an article in the Times is which it was stated that the two other united companies hal been cajoled by the South Western Company upon the principle of " Heads I win, tails you lose." (A laugh.) The fact was that the receipts of the company for the half- yam had amounted to 181,0004 Of this sum 88,1OP1. came to the South Wales Company, and the remaining 93,0001. went to the Great Western Company in payment for the working of the line. But this was no more than would have been expended had there been so such agreement between the parties, for the South Wales Company stood in the same pointless as heretofore in respect to the dividend. He (the chairman) by no means, there fore, concurred in the opinion of those who stated that the Great Western and the West Midland Companies were losers by the arrangement with the South Wales Company ; bat at the same time there was so doubt that the greatest pains would become neasesary ca the part of all concerned to ware the prosperity of the three milted companies. Although they had a guarantee of 170.00 W. from the Great Western Company, still it was their bulbses to do all Ia their power to momote the enowfal world dthat line, With respird to tile Wed and the northern tanked of the Great Welders lime he ,should sot speak, as he was set sufileisatly as:minted with them ; but be could confidently any that the South Wales district possessed the seeds of euccumus development, but the public had not been alive to the (set, because the oompany had, in some measure. been utskr t 1 cloud, and bad been unwilliug to bring forward, to the full extent, the resources that belonged to them, the fact being that they had been dependent upon the Omit Western for the man ner in which their triadic had been gained. In his own immediate neighbourhood he was assisting in the formation of two shon lines, the total coat of which was not more than 20 cox., and these lines, now that all disputes ware at an ea, would bring now Credo to the Great Western sys tem, amounting to some hundreds of thousands of tons per The report was adopted, and • resolution sanctioning the payment of preference dividends on and after the 9th September was agreed to. A resolution was then proposed to the effect that a divi dend of 31. 6a. per cent. per annum be &dared. Major Warr moved as an amendment that the divider' be 9/.loe. per cent. The CHAIRMAN observed that it ear clearly understood that the money in question should come out of the reserve fund, and had it not been so he should not have acceded to it. The amendment, not being seconded, waa lost, and the original motion was carried. It was resolved that the Four-and-a-114f per Cent. Gua ranteed 20/. sham, in respect where if the whole mone had been paid up, should be convert e d and conga • into capital stock ; and a similar resolution was pawed in respect to the redeemable Five per Cent. 20/. shares. The meeting separated with a vote of thanks to the chair man and directors. BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. The half-yearly meeting was held yesterday at the Euston Station ; Sir HARRY VERNET, M.P., in the chair. Mr. Logo, the secretary, read the report, which stated that the rent for the sin months ending the 21st December last amounted to 24,200/. ; the balance of dividends brought from the former account was 6.4871. 25., making a total of 31,387/. 2s. The payments to the proprietors during the last six months bad been as follows :—Arrears of divideod, 2041. 4s. 9d. ; paid on bat dividend, 24,7931. la. 6d., leaving a Winos on the 30th June of 6,3891. 15s. 9d. to be carried forward to the current half- year's account. The continued diversion of the traffic of the Welt Midland Company, referred to in the last report. bad again caused the receipts of the Buckingham shire lioe to show a decrease as compared with the CORO spoading period. The directom regret that, owing to the depressed state of trade, the local traffic also showed • decrease. The directors had much pleasure in stating that the Cambridge Railway was opened for passenger traffic on the 7th July, and for merchandise traffic on the lst of August, and that it was now being worked iu connexion with the lino. Oa the motion of the Cannutsz, the report was adopted. EASTERN COUNT'S . The report of the directors to the fifty-second half.yearly meeting, to be held on Wednesday next, has been issued. The an increase of 11,9801. 18e. 4d. ; the receipts being 650,710/. 16e. 3d., as apioat 638,729/. 17s. lid. for the corresponding period of 1861. The directors deem it right to point to the small addition which has been made during the met ball year to the capital account, in respect to the new works under the amalgamation agreement. which amounts to only 7,263/. 12s. 9d. The sum of 9.728!. 26. Id., in respect of new plant, is for additional vehicles required for the service. The result of the undertaking as regards the Eastern Counties Company is, that there is a net sum (after deducting the working expenses, which amount to 340,1441. 16e. 11d.) of 59,0551. 19,. 3d. available for dividend, out of which the directors have declared • dividend of 11. per cent. for the half-year, being after the rate of 21. per cent. per annum on the ordinary share capital of the company, which will absorb 58,3361. 145., leaving a balance of 7191. 15s. 3d. The working expenses for the half-year are 491. 19s. 4d. per cent., as against 491. 18e. per cent., for the correspooding period of 1861. The expenditure on the permanent way account has during the past half-year bees 68,3431. 171.94., it compared with 47,185!. 2s. Ili. for the correspond leg half-year, the whole of which has been charged to the revenue account ; sod the directors have the satisfac tion of statiog that the line is maintained in the most efficient order. The rolling stock continues to be main tained in a state of efficiency. The shereboldere register and the dividend account, for the past half-year, have been carefully examined and found to be correct. The act for the ►malgamation of this company with the Norfolk, Eastern Union, Feat Anglian, and Newmarket Companies has at length, after • protruded mutest, been carried through both houses of parliament, and received the royal absent. As finally pared, it ie substantially to the effect of the bill submitted to the proprietors io the month of June last, when it received their sanction. As the meetings about to be held will be the last of the Eastern Counties Railway proprietors, and as • new board will be elected by the shareholders of the Great Eastern Railway Company, the directors have only to express their fervent hope arid expectation that by the union of interest which will now preva•l, by the entire removal of any cordial with regard to working expenses, there will be bat am object in view, namely, that of obtaining the largest amount of receipts with the least possible expenditure, ha,* doe regard to the efficient working of the lines, and the moo , mieal conduct of the service. STOCKPORT, DIIILLY, AND WHALZYBRIDOR RAIL WAY.—The half-yearly meeting was held at the offices, 2, Leadenhall-street, yesterday; Mr. J. Chapman in the chair. The secretary having read the report, the chairman, in moving Be adoption, said the shareholders would observe there was a net balance for the half-year ending June 30, 1862, of 1,1011. 13a., out of which it was recommended to declare a dividend of 4i per cent per annum on the pre ference capital called up, and on the ordinary share capital, at the rate of 11. 7.. 6d. per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of 641. 6s. 3d. to be carried to credit of next half year's account. The dividends would be malls on and after the 27th instant. With respect to the traffic be bed to announce an increase in mineral of 89/. 10a. 2d., and cattle 221. Oa. 6d., while he regretted that the decrease in the traffic amounted to 248/. Bs. 6d., and in goods . .17a. St. The decrease he attributed to the deprvased state of trade, affecting all railways, sapr cially those connected with the manufacturing districts. It was with great regret he bad to annouece the death of the late engineer of the line. Mr. Errington, by which the corn. pony was deprived of the valuable professional services of one for whom a most sincere regard was very generally en tertained. It was also with regret that he had to inform them, that notwithstanding their determined opposition an act of parliament bad been obtained by the Midland Com pany to enable them to extend their railway from Buxton to New Mills. The motion having been carved unanimously the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. SALISBURY AND YEOVIL RAILWAY.—TiIe half yearly meeting took place yesterday, at the offices, 2, Leadenhalbstreet ; Mr. John Chapman in dm chair.

The Loadors and South Western Company have now intimated that on the expiry of the debentures their seal will not be available for those required to replace them.
