Mar If htsrruio —London, Augu.t GIORGI CAlla GLYN, Esq., M.P. chairman of the company, to the _ shale. The minutes of the last half-yearly meeting having been reed by the recrAiiry, Kr. STIWAILT, The CHAIRMAN rose, amidst considerable applause, to address the meeting, and said : Gentlemen, before we proceed to the reading of the report, I am anzions, according to the custom of this company, to occupy your attention with a few remarks on that which will afterwards be read to you. In the first place, I am a little anxious to remove froandhe minds of the propriety's some apprebensien wnich I er has bee felt, since the publication of our accounts, a the large dip w hic h we make on this occasion into the re serve fund. (Hear, hew.) I wish honourable prepri tors to nail net—and those who are at all cons/neat with railway practice well know the fact—that the divisions of the owning" of the two half-yean are very dissimilar in their comparative results. Aed, gentlemen, it is to be remarked that this alteeation in our traffic receipts has fallen in particular places. London bee done its duty ; but at Liverpool, and particularly at Birmingham, our receipts resent a consider able diminution. On the other bawl, taking the whole local traffic in the aggregate, we are sstLfied mien the results which it presents. In that—and it is en important con sideration in the esac—there is no falling of whatever. (Applause.) Now, g. stamen, in touching on the question of the passeeger traffic, It is impossible to avoid elludiag, in passing, to the causes which may probably have produced this effect. From Ireland, which Is of course a considerable source of traffic to this particular line, we have drawn eompatatively little or nothing ; but I am inclined to 'tonsi -1 der that we most attribute the falling off in the receipts fur passengers to the fatal effects of that disastroue year, 1847. We cannot 'specs a revival of oar pa.acager receipts till the etmounity at large have recovered from the effects produced by that constant recurrence of calls—that constant recurrence of subscriptions and loses in new projects from which so vast a portion of the community have more or lea suffered. But if the passenger traflit presents, as it stands at this mement, cot sr cheericg an aspect as we might dealer, I must tell you that in the goods' traffic our accounts pre sent a very considerable increase. In alluding to this .abject, we should not do justice to the energy, activity, and the proceedings teetotally which have charac terised our agents under the new system of traffic (in which that part of our business is conducted), if I did not say they have managed the goods' traffic in a way which leads us to look forward to still further ice/ease; and I may allude not only to the activity these gentlemen have di-- pl eyed, but to the accommodation and satistai tion which they have afforded to the public. There is one other point in connexion with the accounts before you on which also I have a right to ask your approbation. I allude to the reduc tion of the working especses. Ide not say that the reduc tion is very large, but it is well that you should clearly un derstand that the system which we, in a former report, an nouceed to you we should adopt, namely, of working our supplies by contract and tender, has not yet came into gene ral o peration—:hat is to say, we are at pr sent suff.rine under the effects, in part, of the old system; but we look for lord, and there te to re aeon why we should not look forward with confidence—to an additional saving under that head. At** same time, I wish to add—and I am sure you will be ratified by our assurance—that whilst this subject occupies the attention of a particular committee, to wham cocaidera' den it is assigned, I can at the same time report to you that the whole public service of this company—and we see able to mar to retrenchments on particular points— is, I am happy m say, conducted with more than usual regularity, and with perfect efficiency in every branch. When you have read the report, you will see that allusion is made by the board ece revelations that are being carried on with the Midland Rail wey Compiny. 1 am happy to state to you, that sines that pa reeraph was penned, the final meeting of the deputations of the two companies has taken plate ; and lam able to amaar ce Ite you, 'net arrangement. have been made with the Mid teed Comp my, which I have no doubt, in their working, will productive of benefit to both companies, and will secure Ms you a more full development of your merchandise traffic, Isla perhaps mote than by any other system could have been devised. Wu have, at the same time, so Tertian d the arrangement, that eny disagreement should arise under it, there will, from time to time, be the pussiblity of settling any Inch differences, and of avoiding any consequences detri mental to the proprietors. (Hear, hear.) The arrangement I all-de to does not partake of the character of an midge nistion, but is an arrangement for the working of a eon sidetrable portion of the traffic—indeed, I may sty, to nee' a mercantile phrase, it is a joint account, and I em well persnaded it must be (cosily beneficial to all parties. The report alludes to another point on which I wish to occupy your attention for oae moment. This is the first occasion oe. which you have seen in the ac counts any reference to the peculiar mode of working the system whirl we have prepared for keeping in outer our peimeneat way. I have no doubt that most of the gentle. eau assonant yea hen* seen the printed report made by the executive officers of this company to the board on this sule jest. After e 'mein alteration', that report was adopted by the board, who are now carrying it out, and, 1 hope, carry ing it cut with affect. The principle of the system is *imply this: we an applyie g to the permanent way—that is, to the duration of the rails, chairs, and sleepers equally—the same system which a li'e inanimate office employs in earning on its badness. We have, by evidence which is open to the whole world, and welch I believe cannot bo gainstial, ar rived a' certain conclusion., which authorise us to say, th t, in a given number of years, the permanent way will probably require replacing. We have fouod out, from prac tical rt suite, how mach it will take per annum to arrive at a sum which, at the expiration of that term, will suffice for the rest. ration of the whole lies. We propose that every hair-year the neeraary sum to give the annual amount re quired shall be taken from revenue, and Stet sum ph col oat on security, at a rate of interest of 4 per cent.—a separate and* distinct fund from every other deparment of your ha iimes. An Iwe know, also, gentlemen, from the celeu- I diens of experien. ed actuaries, their that system ia honestly and properly followed out, exaetly in the same wsy as a lice assurance office fellows out its eon 'pieta to meet the contingent liabilities on a life police, we shall, at it given time, he, according to the calcaletions of our practical officers, in a situation to have saved fir you the entire sum necessary he ima'.le you to replace the nermauent way. Of course, tLe accuriee carry ing out of this system will depend entirely upon the Loee.ty of your performance of the duty you have undertaken. Wren we last had the pleasure of meeting you it was upon a questi n of paramount japer:ante, not only to this comeany, bat to all railways. I allude to the special meeting convened neon the subject of the Audit Bill, then before parliament. Tie almost uneni. mous Toee which that meeting arrived et, expressive es it was of those views, and of the wrong opposition to the proposed measure of the government, had, I am certain, a very greet 'Sect is what subsequently took place with respect to that Lill. The de putati ins which represented the railway interest, at their meeting subsequent to the withdrawal of the bill, silk - urged their sittings until a later period in the year—their object in that adjournment was to afford time her the holding of a public meeting of the different railway companies, in order that they might, when they met again, receive from the proprietors suggestions—in wiling, if they so thought fit. or by some mode or other—rrepeotin r the measure which it might be the duty of tee railway directors, or the railway pripretors themselves, to introduce into parliament in the next "mime I beg to state, that if any proprietor thinks it worth while—end I hope they will net neglect the occasion—to enter into the question, and to offer their suggestions to that meeting when it is held, that they OM come forward and do so. Be cause I can speak confidently amen the port of those who attended those meetings most di igently, that they had but one object in view, that object being to defeat the immure of the government, which would teke (rem you that which, at tour special meeting here, you said you would not surrender. I think the proprietors should not be content with I 'vine their powers exactly as they now steed — (applause)—because urcumeances may arise moan when proprietors may pus from their present state of aer ivity into which they have lately been roused upon thew querionr, into that careless ar d dreamy stateintowhich men, while tiny ere gettirg large dividends, are so apt to fall. (Ap plause.) It is to guard easiest the resalable recurrence of supineness on the part of the proprietors that I would ask yea to consider whether some measure might not be in- Und addi u ti "d onal to po e w ff e e : o t u b c a h t t t t objec 'n as be d gi al :n u w po h n eth th r e qsomuine sutioaknoof..aiundeity.ery(Alzpgleauto.m..) a W y e ery ha lwe ve elate ousepesaw.w.: whopecuarebsipli l mean the official p t;_ inted to their different eaves en %cement of their n. assignees.

The SECRETARY (Mr. Stewart) then real the follow ing report : " In submitting to the propri^tors the usual half-yearly review, the directors have to report a diminution of the passenger traffic, as compered with the same per cid of 1848, le the extent of 22,1891. This decrease may be attributed la various causes. Toe suspension of the relief of troops by jgetternment has reduced the receipts 4,3001, and the loss of MA day (1848 being leap year) may be estimated at nearly d i SIOL, in ha l ftomerison fu rt her produce of the founde. sefirsediag peers. A decrease may be in theleseemed amonneof travelling throughout the country, and la the reatablishment of new, though detest channels el esmigengdeation, aerie-tine some of the traffic which has hillieretraed over the .London and North Western red' way. The Mae time, which shows a dintinutioa of 1,7721., ro oked a tibia, owing to low rime in the London markets; hee esmatly shows a Wady advances over last year. It is report, is the merchandise sterent, an leeress= to bmialm, ameeating to 47/000i. which ha be,. obtained at a very trifling augmentation of the working ex penses. This large additirrei of income, in the face of much competition, is an irdication of the expanding commerc of the kingdom, end of the soundness of the system on which the carrying business of the company is now conducted. The ord.usry walking expenses of the liue have been reduced, and the directors are satisfied that a further grades: reduc tion of these charges is consistent with the we . teyance of a lay,' additional traffie. The increase of the aggregate reeeipts from trainee. as compared I with the corresponding period of 1848, is 23,0321.. the working expenses being 5,8541. less; leaving a net to eretee o f profit of 28,8861., with about the same mileag e. The working charges on the present occasion are, exclusive of rates and taxes, 35.9 per cent., and includiog those items, 40 9 per cent. ; but a per cortege of working charges on gross receipts affords no sonad test of the economy of rail way management. The wevieg stock is in etc, need order, and the usual renewals have been effected. The proprietors are aware that the important question of the deterioration of rails and permanent way, and the 'meet sity of providing for their renewal, ism engaged the serious attenti mof the board. With a view of arriving ate soon conclusion on this subject, they ordered their officers care fully to investigate all the facts of the case. Their report having been maturely considered by the board, it was unani mously adopted, with some modifications. The result of the inquiry showed that an annual appropriation of 20,7001., with interest at 4j per cent would provide for a perpetual renovation of the rails, and other perishable mate rials connected with the road. The board decided thst the interest should be computed at 4 per cent, which increases the amount required to 22,0501. per annum; one-third being charged in the spring, and two-thirds in the autumn half year; and the sum of 7,5251. is accordingly deducted from the revenue of tne present half-year. "The complex arrangement", and confrcting interests, arising from the opening' of new lines of railway, either diteetly or remotely affecting the position of this company, have engsged, end must for a length of time require the anxious attention of the directors. They have been desirous 'o recognise the just claims of other companies, at the same time that they protect your fair interests; and thus to miti gate, as far ae possible, the injury that would result to every interest, by an opposite line of policy. They have generally been met in the same spirit of mutual concenion • and, en couraged by the feeling now pervading railway bo arde, they hope to overcome the difficulties as they arise without any 'serious sacrifice. They have concluded a mutually beneficial arrangement with the Midland Company, and with the Counties Railway; and they have extended their fiendly rehtions with the directors of the Lancashire and Yorkshire lints. They have sho agreed with the South Staffird.bire Company for the perpetual use of the London and North Western line from &beat to Birmingham, on terms satisfactory to both parties. They have not yet suc ceeded in making arrangements with the North Stafford shire Company, but negotiations arc going on in a friendly spirit. Sensible of the advantages to be derived from a tem perate consideration of every reasonable demand, the directors will Free no opportunity of extending all'snas which must conduce to the convenirnce of the public, as well as to the prosperity of the railway companies. " The railway from Leeds to Manch star was opened for passenger traffic on the let of this month. The anth junc tion connexion at Manchester, and the new tunnel and sta tion for goods at the north end of Liverpool, were also opened on the same day. the Altrincharn Branch Railway, in which this com pany is iaterested, jointly with the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Company, was opened, a few days pre viously. " Referring to the promise given by the directors, at a former meeting, that they would not proceed with new works without previously consulting the proprietors, they have now to call attention to the line authorised by parliament to be made by this conarany from Birmingham to L'ehtield, at an estimated cost of 200.0001. After toll consideration of the Ratter, the directors have decided that, under existing cir ennistances, the proper course for them to pursue is to refer the whole question of this railway to the coueideration of the proprietors at the present meeting. " In regard to the Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmineham, and Leh- 'ter Railway, agreed to be transferred to the Midland Company (as explained in the general statement of 28th October last), the Midland Board have signified their inability at the present moment to complete that arrange ment. The directors trust that the transfer may not be much longer delayed, as it is obviously not to the interest of the Midland Company to render necenary the com pletion of the line its question by any other perry than them selves. The chairman at the lest general meeting expressed a hope that good might result from the discuseions then going on with the directors of the Great Western Company. Com munications of a friendly nature have continued without interruption, and although, as yet, no definite terms have belie agreed upon, the directors have the satisfaction to state, that there is no longer any cause to apprehend a recurrence of these contests which have entailed so much expense upon this company, " The board cannot omit this opportunity of bearing testi mony to the obligations under which, in their opinion, the company lie to those individuals, both directors and pro prietors, who, at great iocenvenience, and at a time of extra ordinary pressure and anxiety, assisted in promoting the objects oonttmplated by the resolution of the general meet log, of February, 1847, will respect to the threatened . sten/ion of the broad gauge, beyond the limits of the gauge act, over the Birmingham and Oxford lice. From the s'atement of the half year's ac counts it will be seen that the net proceeds £517,194 6 10 arc To which must be added the balance carried ferwaiti tram the last account .L.1M,687 19 9 Lege, further allowance fur the renewal of rails of 7,525 0 0 S' owing a dispseable balance of £581,162 19 9 Out of this sum the directors reminmend a divide..d of 31 10s. per cent. for the six months, amounting to 685,681 Bd.; leaving a balance of 15,6011. 191. Id. to be carried to the neat half year's account. Th 3 directors have considered it necessary, with a view to greater at moil in the payment of the dividends, to make au altera tion in the form of warrant hitherto used, and to request the proprietors either to pus their warrants througo a bank. r, or to mak , a. plication, in person, fur 0.5 amount. —Ononors raga GLYN, Chairmen.—Euston Station, 17th August, 1849.

A. resolution agreeing to • dividend of 3i.10•., payable on the 27th, for the half year, was also agreed to. Mr. DICKENSON called attention to the querlon of purchial rates, observing that the Grand Junction Canal, running beside them, was exempt from this operation by a special art of parliament. The CHAIRMAN invited Mr. Dickenson to put bluetit in communication with the committee of railways generally upon this question, which was • most important one. It would do them much good if the Grand Junction Canal were placed on the same footing as themselves. It would not only lessen their rates, but gain them an important ally in opposing them. tA laugh.)

Toe secouots from the rorth, yesterday, were not at all cheermq, and great apprehensions continue about the proboble fate of the potato crop. Mr. Macaulay has arrived in Dublin in search of information for his history of the Williamite cam paign. Those oenversant with Irish history have de tected several errors in that portion of his work re lating to Ireland in the two volumes already published. His quoting from "King's State of the Protestants" has been recently censured by Irisholars, as it has ceased to be regarded as an author i ty for facts.

The native labourers are slow to admit the Mot that if the Matinees veers not em ployed, there would not be sufficient hands to get in the har vest, and much of the produce of the soil would be lost. Mr. Jetts Beesaltead, of Belmiethorpe, and Mr. John Lars, or Ryhall, had each last writ engaged Irishmen to work for them, upon which some of the misguided men in the neigh bourhood met is a body end expelled the strangers from the fields. Gas party of Irish took mine in Mr. Brombead's barn, but the Ryhall men followed them, broke open the door, and ejected the poor fellows; Mr. Broathsert then invited them into his boner, and the native labourers at tempted to follow, bat Mr. B. presented a gun at the party, and threatened to shoot the first men who mode an effort to aroma his threshold ; this deterred them, and they then pro ceeded to Behniethorpe Lodge (Mr. Lowe's farm-bonse), and commenced dentroyiag the crockery and furniture.

SCOTLAND. TEE BIDET OF CONVEYING TILE QUEEN.—The only diaegvesalle incident connected with the Queen's tour in Scotland this year occurred in Dumbartonshire. Sir George Grey requested Mr. Campbell of Tilliehewan to have carriages for the use of ber Majesty when she descended Loch Lomond, and to convey the Queen from Belloch to Dumbarton. Sir James Colpshoun, of Lum, is Lord hado umbartoshire— fact that Sir George Grey either overlooked or did a net regard. The Lord Lieutenant, however, resented the application to Mr. Camp. hill, and insisted on his official right to attend her Majesty with his own conveyances through the county. The claim is, we believe, consistent with etiquette, if her Ma jesty bad been official:y engaged is examining Dumbarton shire; thieves not the ease, and the old relies of a period ' when the escort implied danger, and the formation of an armed force, could have no force in a journey undertaken for motives not of an official character. The e:aim seems to have been tacitly allowed, although not unlikely to have caused umbrage, and Prince Alisert aloes descended Loch Lomond. Mr. Campbell provided his equipages in a style calculated to r fleet h..nour on that district of the country, and in corn. pliance with an sfficisl request: and Prince Albert sect for him—first, we believe, at Belloch, and again at Dumbarton, and repulsed his sense of the manlier in which provision had been made for the passage of her Majesty and suite through the Vele of Leven. —Daily Mail A MAN DROWNED AT GLASCOW.—About three o'clock on Wednesday morning, a young unmarried man, named Blair, belonging to Btrstbbungo, lost his ifs in the harbour. It appeared that, with another companion, he seated himself on • plank at Lancefield Quay, where both parties tell a.leep. After a short interval his companion missed the deceased from his side, and immediately gave the alarm.

Yesterday • Gominuason de Lunatic.) Inquirendo was opened at the King's Arms Tavern, Horton, before Mr. Commissioner Winslow and a special jury, relative to the Late of mind of Elizabeth Fisher, a maiden lady, aged 49, of high acconsplishounte, formerly a govern's' in the lamely of Lord Granville Somerset, which engagement she relin quished on her mother's aet . .sitiou of a fortune of 40,0001, but was now an inmate of Ho:ton-House Lunatic Asylum. Mr. Parker (of the firm of Parker, Hooke, and Co., of Bedford-row), appeared in support of the commission, which was unopposed. The history of this lady's case is extraordinary. About nine years since a gentleman named Sileester, her uncle, bevueathed to her mother a fortune of 40,0001, upon whom this acquisition had the effect of producing • derangement of intellect, and which communicated itself to the subject of this inquiry, and against whom, eorsequently, a commission issued in 1842, when she was found by a jury to be of unsound mind, but she had so far recovered in 1844 as to induce the Lord Chancellor to supersede the commis don, and she was then releases from Dr. Philp's asylum, Kensington Hewer, where ate had h. en previously confined. Her conduct having, in 1848, become trident, it was neces sary again to pace her under r s:raint ; and in consequence on 14th July, 1848, she was placed in St. Luk s's Hospital, and subs. qutn'ly removed to Horton House. Mr. Joseph Nash, Medical Superintendeht of St. Luke's Hospital, described the nature of her malady, stating that she was e xceediogly violent, particularly when viii ed by Dr. diciarieg that he had moldered her mother end also her uncle. He had frequently se. n her throw basins and other articles of crockery at Dr. Philp. The latter never did anything to irritate, but on the contrary alweys showed her the greatest kindness. On one occasion when her sister, Mrs. Cooper, visited her, she showed great violence ; so much an, that it was necessary to remove her. She called Dr. Fillip a Tahiti, a rascal, and • murderer. She had a delusion that her knee was dial, cated, and to pacify her a bsndsge was placed thereon, though it was quite un necessary. Dr. neap, physician to St. Luke's Hospital, and pronrietor of Kensington House, stet. d that he l ad known Mi.., Faber many years. Sue eras in 1842 an inmate of his establish ment, when she attempted his life with a pair of scissors, al leging th .t he had murdered her mother and uncle. Having eiesetihed her admis.ion into St. Luke's and violent conduct there as mentioned by the preceding and other witnesses, he proceeded to say that she was discharged from that hospital in July last as an unsound pi dent, when she was rem vet to Holton 110111 e. She ci minty wes not capable dieting care of herself or her property. Witness had attended her mother about nine years ago for a case of lunacy, and cured her. Miss Fisher, when labouring under her press nt malady, was negligent of her person and attire; though when in good mental health she had been quite the reverse. Mrs. Ann TriMMillg, her sister, said that Min Fisher imagined that she had been robbed of money and furniture by her family. There was no ground ter her hatred to Dr. Philp, who had cured her mother, and it was by the desire of the latter that she w.is placed under h s care. She was c Instantly threatening to pay off " her family for what ohs termed their ill-treatment. Mr. E L Biyan, resident medical superintendent of Horton Howe, described her malady as insanity of conduct, inability to govern her actions or temper. Ste d that Dr. Philp had given her some illegal medicine. Her mind wandered from one subject to anotuer. SW might p..ssibly re cover and remain well far a year or two, bat he had no doubt of her mind again rely sine. Atter further evidence the unfortunate lady was introduced to the jury, but from her exted Mate It was deemed incur. Miry Viet Dr. Philp should previously retire. In person she was majestic, and by no means devoid of beauty. Her manner' were ladylike, but on taking her seat by the side of the learned enntem‘eioner she proceeded to re. cord, in good language but with the utmost volutility, her imaginary injuries, complaining that she was unable to em ploy solicitor or counsel, that she had been improperly con , tined in • mad :Dose and ill-used by Dr. Philp, &c,, in most reel:mere confirming the foregoing testimony as to Ler delusions. Amongst her more remarkabl. observations were—" I was put into a &tower bath at Dr. Warburton's, and the water crushed me down. As soon as Igo to sleep I dream of the eevil, and that he comes to me with a surplice on. Dr. Philp, when he came to see me at St. Luke's, said, I em glad to see you better, Miss Fisher.' I replied, ' You are a liar." Commissioner—That is not • very ladylike expression. Perhaps not, but the Duchess of Beaufort and all the nobility use it." Having positively refused to see Dr. Philp, or hear from him any explanations, she retired from the room, when The jury unhesi•asingly returned a unanimous verdict— " That Miss Fisher is now of unsound mind, incapable of managing herself or her affairs, and has been so since the 14th July, 1848."
