The CHAIRMAN, at the coecludoo of the report, said that they would perceive, if they adopted it, they would ob tain pommies et their has at the sad of the year. Under these eireametaates, probably some one woa d cone that the report be reale= and adopted, in accordance with the views of the diraters. Dr. COWAN. of Carlisle , did not approve of the Une teeing gias Yea bramo to Mr. Hudson, on behalf albs dines owe etas Yed‘lffeweentle, and Berwick ReliweaCesepesy, sail that Isom hod gent received the unman of the beard. Mr. P. O. ELLISON had the greatest euldesee in the directs= bat at the same time be would take the liberty of irking a quads. se two iateresting to all =meted with the The Ant wee, that u it was propos= to new Mr. Hudson at the ad of the year 1819, whether it wee in the power of theahareholders to concur in that object I And the mond was whether Mr. Hu ,son or the York, Newcastle, and Berwi ck Railway Comp any were bound to them ? The CHAIRMAN could assure Mr. Edison that the directors intended to pane quite an independent want. There was a qucs.ion eked respecting whether any additional capital would be required to Stab all their undertaktup ; and he would jot math that the three bridges they bad to build bad cost them a great deal of money, as well as •he approaches to that town, which had been raised a: a great elevation to reach it, but notwithstanding that he wee satisfied that the rental of the arches in Moe approaches would realise 10 per cent. for the capital expended. The director did not intend to follow the example of the parties at Carlisle, for what part of the station Wry occupied there would is. rented. They, however, were hound by agreementat Newcastle, but, notwithstanding, the directors had it in contemplation to make an effort to modify it, so far as it affected the ornamenting of the town. A great deal ut ornamental work thew knew tad already been with drawn, and nothing would be retained cunt that which was really useful. Dr. CO WAN then easel when the dividend would be paid ? Th. CHAIRMAN—Oa the let of Jay and January re. spectively. The lest halnyeat's rental they knew had set been pad until a month after the time, but that arcs. le give • little seconiatodatfm to parties on account of the peculiar praisers of the times. He bad, however, no ream to doubt bat that the dividend would be paid in January ; for with respect to the scone of the lii a before Mr. Hada= got it under his management, realised 150,8251.85. Id. That return justified the directors in saying that the current year would reach that sum 11 not exceed it, al:hough the podgy ; wooed by the York and Newcastli Company was pater ties. That, however, would not be the case in ashen time, and the consequence would he that by a greater di ff usion et trade, and by increased traffic from passengers, the revenge it wee anticipated would be more dila than last year. Mr. ADAMSON then read the following report : " The highest amount ever received in any one year by the Newcastle and Carlisle Compute, before the line came into Mr. Hudson's hands, was 115,8251. Be. ld. ; the returns up to this time justly me in saying that for the current year the receipts will reach, If not exceed, that seam, although the policy pursued in the management of the line is exclusively of a protective character to the York, Newcastle, and B Company's tiadc. The falling off in the passac traffic has also been severely felt up-n that line. receipts have also suffered materially from the present state of Ireland—the carriage of Irlh provide= Into this district haricot been a very important item in the accounts; this traffic will again return with returning pro• sperity in that counter ; but with these adverse circum stances to matted with, and the receipts reaching the high est point ever attained in any former year, must be deemed conclusive that, with a reined of trade in this district the traffic w:11 largely increase upon this line. A large and nee source of Ira*: Is daily developing itself upon the Cu. lisle line, namely, tee carriage of coal and cake to Meryport and Whitehaven fur shipment to Ireland. It is now pretty I well ascertained thee the coke made in this district is mere suitable for railway purposes, and can be supplied cheaper than from any other part of the kingdom, and the Carlisle line must ultimately monopolise the supply to the Irish markets. The English and Scotch railway compa nies also find its use advantageous to their interests, and the supply to Carlisle for further transit both north and south is increasine. A large contract has lately been com pleted for the supply of 30,000 tons per annum at Carlisle —others will no doubt follow. The carriage .f coal and coke to Maryport and Whitehay.ii enables us to bring back the brrmatile iron ore which is found in great abundance near the laver place, many II award tons have already been broueht during the present year to the various iron works in this district." Tee CHAIRIdAN, at the conclusion of the report, put the motion respective; the directors' report, when it was carried unanimously. The misting then separated, after passing a vote of thanks to the chairman. WEST FLANDERS. T.e eighth half.yeariy graeral meeting of propriston of this railway was held yesterday at their offices. 11, King William.street, W. P. lticeittame, Esq., in the chair. The report, whieh was given in the Daily Naos of yes terday, wes read by the &oratory. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, etc., said that th• most important matter it contained was the wonunt of ff ceipt and expenditure, but that wee so fully set forth he thought it unnecessary to dwell upon it. The reports u to the state of the line and tt e rolling stock were extremely satisfactory. It would be seen that their position was somewhat improved, but nevertheless he could not e tn. gratul tte them upon it, for it almost lash. I like • burlesque to tell gentlemen who had laid out their capital in the expectation of receiving • fair interest on it, that they were to melee may the paltry dividend of ls. 3d. per share. It was evident that they had been grossly do. ceivsd, and had been led to expect an amount of traffic whisk could not he realised. No one had more reason to fact than hie etlf, but, as it was so, all they could de was to make the best of their condition, and not waste more maw in useless litigation. He could safely appeal to the way is which the directors bad carried out their promises of eco nomy. (Hear, hear.) They were now working the Mae at 1501. a mile, and had been working it at that tate for t h t last half year, while every tufa of ten carriages only a mike, which took into fleolslo% every expense. By a repent arrangement mitered into by the Belgian government with •he North of France Railway, • portion of the ecirls hitherto brought by that lin% woald now come upon theirs and be of service, though he feared not much benefit. By another _arrearmist of the g ov e rnment their railway would be brought MIN to the Canal of Bruges, o• which goods could be shipped at venue from the railway. He might observe, too, that the esaill. lion of Flanders itself was slowly improving; and all is circumstances werranted him is the expectation that the receipts of the line would increase, although, after so many disippointenente, he was yowl/Jag to ems& kimerff to any lifret&d amount. With respect to the Chassmy solo he bed only to express • wish that the ohmmeter of the sompialicar might come out of the investigation as unblemished as that of the die, etnre. Mr. BLUNT having seconded the mode* for the adop tion of the report, Mr. LINDIeIi raised a disenrioa en the paragraph re lasing to the Chancery snit, by observing that it was ea action value the director, si.h whirl the company had nothing to do, and of which they bad been kept in ig norence. The CHAIRMAN denied that there had boss an eco malaria. He bad on the contrary always boasted of the muss be had adopted in referee.* to that snit; and he bartered still it was the beat act he hod done dada( his tenure of president. Mr. Buena Dir. Cloonan Lao° RCIIMILL, and other proprietors ha ving expressed it as their op• ion that the repot t would be more aeoeptable to the shanlolden without the paragraph in quickie, the chairmen consented to its beiog expunged ; and the report so amended was nnani mottely agreed to. Resolutions approving of the dividend of le. 3d. a afar, of thetas to Mr. Chantrell for his sueserfal efforts to redoes thr expenditure, and to the direct re generally, having been adt pted, the meeting broke up.

Pita to the destruction of the forty shilling free. holders the representation of Dengue= was fiercely contested en several °coulees by the great families of Cavendish and Brantford. The latter had more load interest at one time, bat the liberal principles of the former enabled it to prevail, until at Le* the Duke of Devonshire came to be regarded as the main influence of ptingarean polities. But that influence was sorely strained when it bad to encounter the enthusiasm of the first repeal agitation in 1832, when the popular party succeeded in triumphing fuse many aristocratic strongholds. It is now matter of history that some of the triumphs of O'Connell's tail were by no means creditable to the Irish liberal party, or, in the long run, serviceable to real liberal interests. Dungarees was one of the places where, at the general election consequent on the Reform Bill, the efforts of the po pular and repeal party were tried, in that instance, without avail. At that time the Hoe. George Lamb was the member nominated by "the Duke," and in oar notices of our Irish boroughs, es we shall have occasion to speak of " the Duke" again, our readers may here be cautioned that we mesa Devonshire, and not Wel lington, by " the Duke" Mr. George Lamb is doule leas still remembered by some of our readers as a good-natured, agreeable, and rather insouciant man-- a virtuoso and affected connoisseur in art, literature, and politics. He had one of those natures which affects the artist, but cannot, for want of natural force, go beyond the amateur. He wss brother to Lord Melbourne, and did succeed to some extent in obtaining a literary and political celebrity. On Mr. lamb's death, in 1833, O'Connell, then at war with the wbig ministry, made a push for the seat, and some very extraordinary conaequences malted. Lord Anglesey's government was then vainly tryit g to encounter at all p Ants the Irish demagogue. Mr. ?eine George Barron, of the innumerable elan of the Waterford Barrows, was then high sheriff of the county. He was a whig in politics, a catholic in weed, and was very popular, having a certain dashing off-band style. The Castle revolved that he should be put forward for the seat rather than surrender it to an O'Consellite ; "the Duke" offered to back the popular Pelmet George ; but O'Connell and the repeaters resolved to seize the seat, and just then the whigs were very unpopular under the influence of the Coercion Bill and the Stanley-phobia. A Dublin gentleman—one Mr. Ebenezer Jacob—was started as a candidate. He had no local connexions ; but a thundering letter from the Irish agitator introduced him to the electoes, and bola sides prepared for the tug of war. On the popular side there were displayed all the resources of agitation, the whip even asserted that there was in. timidation ; and on the government side the-, was a resolution to employ the arts of corruption. That the government were ready to employ money in " liberating " the Dangarvan fishermen was proved beyond all doubt by a letter being reed in the House of Commons, which brought home the case to the Castle. The letter was addressed to the late Mr. Galway, then M.P. for Waterford, and gave him in structions in the regular elenioneering style. The writer of tee letter was no less a personage than Mr. Solicitor-General Crampton, now one of her Majesty's Justices of the Queen's Bench of Ireland. The letter wuresd in the House of Commons by Mr. F. O'Connor, then M.P. for Cork, and caused a great sensation. We will refer to evident* on this point as follows : The hon. and learned gentleman (Mr. F. O'Connor) read a letter from the Boliedor-General of Ireland to Mr. Gal wey, M P , in which the hon. and learned gentleman (the Solicitor-Gen.rel) said that he transmitted a draft for 2001 towards opening the bereiteh of Dungarees, and that 3001 would be ready to be mot fie the NMI purpose when mess eary.—(Vide " II Award," vol. 24, 3rd series, p. 840 ) How such a letter got into the hands of the repeal party nuzzled everybody at the time. The fact was, that Mr. Barron, while sojourning at a hotel in Dun. preen, received the letter from Mr. Galway at breakfast time. He read it, and threw it into the fire, where it was soon in a blaze, and he thought no more of it, as in the hurry of an electron bustle, his attention was sp edily di rected to something else. The letter was only half burnt, and fell into the ashes, where it was found by a waiter who came to clear the breakf est table. Off went the waiter with the prize to a certain popular supporter of the repeal candidate, and from him it passed into the hane.e of Mr. Romayee, M. P., who' sent the letter to a member of the House of Commons. Lord Chancellor Plunket refaced peremptorily to lend himself in any way to the promoters of Mr. Romayne, who was at the time looking for an assistaut-barris terthip, and that learned gentleman sorely suffered in consequence of the use he had made of the letter from the Solicitor-General to Mr. Barron. But despite the exertions of the officials of Dublin Castle, and of Lismore Castle (" the duke's" It eft seat), the repeal candidate was returned, and for the time "the duke'." influence over Irish politico seemed at an end, as members had been returned despite of his opposition at Dungarvan and Youghal, and the whig influence in the county of Cork bad been entirely destroyed. In honour of the triumph of the Dungarean fishermen over the castles of Debits sod Lismore, and in the reran of Mr. Jacob, the repeal candidate, a facetious pie, almost as wag gish if not so learned as Father Pont, wrote an iplgram : 'Phis the men of Dungarees with greet acclamation, Oa the base +biggish new vent their just indignation , And oft having weathered the billow and pi e, Now plant Jacob's ladder, and moist far repels." So wrote Casey, " the bard of Ballythomas." Mr. Jacob was unseated before a committee of the House of Commons, but was again returned by the electors, on which occasion Fearges O'Connor acted as chief agitator. The popular and repeal party had made great way. and it was not without satisfaction that the Cavendish party saw a means epee to them by which they might without dishonour compromise the matter with the Dungarvan repealer., At the special instance of the Marquis Wellesley, the late Sir Michael O'Loghlen was made Solicitor- General for Ireland in place of Mr. Crampton, pro moted. A seat was wanted far the eminent catholic lawyer, and Danger= seemed jest the place fit for O'Loghlen, as his friend O'Conneil would offer him no oppcstion and " the duke" would, of course, assist the official lawyer of the whip. O'Loghlen accord ingly stood for Diingervan on the Cavendish and po pular interests, but experienced some opposition from local parties, headed by Mr. John Matthew Gahm, once for a brief space one of O'Connell's tail, and in that capoity M.P. for some months for Water bed. Mr. Cialwey was a bustling, pushing, native man, and though not a great man was a very big one. Mr. Galwey was a kind of com bination of the Irish catholic squire and a general isalw in trade.

Mr. Galway was a climb.- dientjoint of O'Connell ' s tail, and the operation of his excision Iron caudal connexion was performed with the rapidity of a Dapuytren is amputation. Soured at his treatment, Mr. Galway resolved to make a fight against the arrogant agitator who had cut him off, and started against O'Loghlen in the punch and porter interest. The priests sided with the agitator; a struggle in the borough took place between the spiritual influence of their reverences and the spirituous interest of Mr. Galwey. Much bicker ing and indecorous conduct was the result, and in patting down Mr. Galwey It is certain that the priestly influence was carried to a most dis graceful length, with high-handed insolence of authority. Mr. Galwey showed considerable nerve, bat woe to the Irish catholic who has a fight with " the clergy." Backed by the influence of the two castles (blin and Limnore)—of the agitation —and of the priests, Mr. O'Loghlen (though a native elClare) showed in a most triumphant manner that bo was a jut the man to do for Galway." He polled in 1634 nearly 4 to 1 against the prodigious Mr. Galwey, and on the 191 of September, 1835, O'Loghlen stria Vidmphed over Mr. Galway by 316 to 163.

He was followed by Dr. ityall, the Vies-President. 1 Dr. Boutin, Doan of Faculty, then read the declaration In a load yoke, and all the professore repeated It site[ him. I The following le the form of the declaration, which, as our tenders will periteive, is of the utmost importunes " We do hereby promise to the president and council of the Queen's C*dge, Cask, that we will, faithfully and to the best of oar rJ', discharge the duties of professors in said college, and we farther promise and engage that in lectures and examinations and in the reformisms of all other duties maseeted with our chairs, we will carefully abstain from teaching or advancing any doetrine, or making ' any statement derogating to the truth of revealed religion, or injurious or disrespectful to the religious convictions of any portion of our dames or &Ojai**. And we moreover promise to the said president and council of the Queen's College, Cork, that we will not introduce cc discuss in our place or capacity of professors, any subject of politics or polemics tending to produce contention or excitement, nor will we engage in any avocations which the president and council shall judge inconsistent with our (Sem, but will as far ae inns lies promote on all occasions the interests of education and the welfare of the college." _ _ _ The DITSIDIXT, In UN MUM of Inaugural address es entered upon the plan en whisk the government of the college was ewes. Jutted and the guard tutus of the course of study in the several departmenta. It was right that the usedl of the college should meet the °midget* which had been shown by the public, by a similar °prone,' on their own part ; and it was the mere desirable, as he felt confideat that the principles upon which the colltge was esmblished only required to be known to secure general soquiescenos and approval. He skoaldfi-st mention that it was to be con stituted • member of the Unseal's Univ. rdty. That would be so, because those statesmen to whom had bun (*remitted the great task of organkieg the education of our 'matey, and who were new %high% their labours to so glorious • consameastion,hed deemed it indispensable that the new in stitution should enjoy the fullest privileges of University sanction, that Its degrees and honours should be derived ;run no less than maticeal authority. Hence it had been resolved that the several colleges should be aggregated into an university from which students should receive de grees, and at which, previous to graduation, their rela tive mutts should be finally ascertained ; and thus that the different delineate of our population, now so widely separated, should be brought into • companionship of study, and that by the result of honourable competition fur the rewards of merit they should learn to respect each other, and by the experience of andealie conflict they should be diicipined foe cadial co-operation in the affairs of public life. The Wiese was yet, at the same time, and in • more remarkable degree, to be considered as an in dependent insti tution. By its charter it was meld. dto found rewards for superior scholarship, and by the same charter the president was bound to render every year an account of the institution. which should be laid before parliament, and thus its admi nistration submitted to the public. The President then ad ' versed to the general plan of education, and the various degrees elbechelor and mutes of arts,aad doctor of law and medicine. As regards these, the college coateined withia itself all the imulties of a university. Bat it would be observed that in the bailey of arts their course of education differed essentially from that of the older colleges, in the introduction of ex w: ental and natural berme., and of modern languages. had not forgotten that they should educate yam' ors, not for the retirement of scholastic or ecelesiastleal life ; but for the actual requirements of the age is which we lived. With the countless forms of life with whisk natural history made u• acquainted existing around us, and while every day's existence depended on the laws of natural philosophy and chemistry, it were abated to call that education which should omit those sciences. While by securing the full and critical study of the ancient lugusges as well for the sake of the sublime r‘ mains of ora torio and poetical genius which they con tained, as font their being the languages o f thus countries from which the civilisation of modem nations sprang, they made modern languages an essential part of the course of study, the interchange of ideas at the present day being as important as familiarising with the ides' of days which were pest They had first admitted only the French language ; but as the course ad vanced the other modern languages would be introduced. Another point in which the plan of education in that college presented some special features was in the option admitted in certain cases as to the course whieb each student should pursue. Their wish above all %biogs was that the student 'mould really learn. The real knowledge of some one thing was worth • world of smattering and surperficisdi ties. They were, therefore, resolved to enable the stu dent, according to the bent of his dispositiou, to dis embarrass himself of subjects which he did not seta toady want, and to concentrate his attention upon thou departments which he did really require. Thus in the second year of study they enabl. d the student to omit the higher mathematics or him who proposed to pursue a steno course to omit clessies. Instead of frittering away attention by the compulsory study of both subjects together, they would have students who were thoroughly versed in ace or the other. The President then referred to the amount of preliminary education required from students desirous to matriculate. Their object was to carry in es ruction in the several faculties to the most advanced and eminent position. Bat for this purpose they would require students to enter within their walls possessed of a eenderable knowledge of mathematics and the Baldish language. They appealed. upon this subject to those honourable persons to whom the task of preliminary edu cation was entrusted in this city and county. lie bad fre quently occasion to know bow much the country suffered in character from the deficiency which existed of an accurate knowledge of literature and science. The President next adverted to the different distinctions to be conferred on students for superior merit, consisting of scholarships, honors, and prise*, and stated that in order that those who had ob tained scholarships should be induced to continue their el ution+, it was intended that the tenure of that rank should last only a year, when the stedents would be again admis sible to examination for the same distinction. There re mained. however one claim which they possessed to the ap proval end confidence of their countrymen which he had not noticed. That claim was based on the excellent arrange ments that were made for securing the morals and religious discipline of the students. (Cheers.) The statutes of the college had been prepared under the advice and honoured with the approval of the most learned, mast pious, and most excellent personages. Dr. Lane then referred at length faro the question of the standee, and contrasted the securities which they afforded for the pregervatloa of faith and morality with thou presented by Trinity College, by Cambridge or Oxford, and by the various educational institutions of Germany.

If the play wright only has the tact to lying oat the hutment' or peculiarities of some favourite, his piece is sure to be applauded for a cmnfortable number of nights, though it peones neither plot, character, wit, nor any other feature of a good drama. Such a piece was that which was produced hat evening at the Lynam, under the title of "Methinks I see my Father. Its plot was so void of common sense, so destitute of the caherence and consistency necessary to render even the broadest farce enter taining, that we cannot waste the time of our readers on such childishness. But Charles Mathews, in the character of a certain Felix Flightly, skipped about and rattlel away, through two acts, with such un flagging vivacity, and uttered the few good things that were put into his month with such point and spirit that the audience applauded loudly, and the curtain fell with the mud signs and tokens of com plete success.

It is considered very likely that Major. General Sir Joseph Thankwell, K.C.8., will be appointed to the colouelcy of the 18th Lenore, vac sat by the death of Sir J. Vandelcur. Sir Joseph was employed during the Peninsular war, and was present at th , hattlo of Carunne. He served in the campaigns of 18131814, and was engaged in the battles of Vittoria arsd the Pyrenees, the blockade of Pampeluna, battle of ()rebus, affair of Tat Ate., and battle of Toulouse. He served in the campaign of Iblo, isteluding the action at Qua:re Bras and th:: battle of Waterloo. He com manded the cavalry division of the army of the Indus during the Affghanistan tamp lips, was present at the storm and capture of Onusnee, and communed the second column of the army on its march from Caboll to Bengal. He coal mandrd the cavalry division at 3daharajpore, and the cavalry at the battle of Sobraen ; and, lastly, commanded the cavalry in the late campaign in the Punjaub. He was severely wounded at Vittoria, and lost his left arm at Waterloo. S r Joseph is now employed upon the staff in the Bast Indies. No officer has been mentioned for the color eley of the 4th DregooeGuards, in succession to Sir George Anson ; nor for the Lionel Hospital; but it is more than prob chic that Sir Colin Halkett will, under any arrangement, be removed from the situation of lieutenant-governor to that of governor of the establishment.

GERMAN STATES CONFEDERATION WAR STEAMER. —Toe trial trip of the Inca, the second of the German Stales war steamers, built oy Messrs. Patterson and Co., the eminent ship-builders of Bristol, from the drawings and under the supetintendence of W. Morgan, Esq., took place on Tuesday. The versel left Cumberland basin at 10 o'clock that morning, having on board several nautical gen tlemen, who had been invited to witness her performances, and, having ran in the fact of a heavy gale till nightfall, she put her helm about and made for Pertshead, where she anchored, and returned to Bristol the next day. The Inca proved herself to be a splendid vessel, running in the teeth of a stiff wind and against a stroag tide 64 knots an hour through the water by Measey's patent log. The back voyage to Portshead of 39 miles she did with the favouring wind in 31 hours, giving an average of 114 knots. The Inca is fitted with two oscillating engines, by M ears. Miller, Ravenhill, and Co., of London ; she has a double set of boilers, and con sequently two funnels. Her engines are of (for such a steamer) low power, but they worked admirably, occasioning scarcely any motion, and the vessel being a splendid model and naturally a fat sailer, she glided through the water beautifully, being as lively as could be desired, and answering her helm to perfection. The paddle wheels are much snider than those usually fitted to ships of her Ilse. They have feathering floats e at what is generally known as Murgan's principle. They feather or oscillate on their axis, being guid, el by an eccen tric motion to take the line of the carts» cycloid described by these two revolutions, and they thus avoid the violent displacement of the water at their entrance and exit, togn abling the entire power which the engines develop be applied to the propulsion of the vessel, instead of throwing a large portion of it to waste. The guests, among whom were the representatives of the press, were handsomely en tertained on board by the builds», Messrs. Patterson and Co , sad the commander, Captain Beam of the German navy ; and although the voyage was a stormy one, the seas washing the decks repeatedly, and dashing tunnel high, every .pe-son espreurd himself satisfied with the experi mental cruise. A third steamer for the same power and built by the same parties will soon be ready for sea.
