As abstract of the half yearly account, and of the capital meant, having been also read, The CHAtaitsr4 proposed the first resolution, that the report sad accounts be received and entered on the minutes, sad remain is the office for the inspection of the proprietors. This was unanimously agreed tr. me Csanutas secondly proposed that a dividend of e UHL pee mod. be made on the company's stock for the half pee maw the 31st Dee. lest, and that the income tax be pod W the company. • Rieshred usarimously, the Chairman observing that the femme tax was now no Joke, amounting to nearly 14,0001. a goer, paid on the profits of this company ; and be was glad bias the present, at all events, the company was able to g riblestioning the next business, the CiIkiRMAN said the Met weeks bad been proceeded with during the last belf ries@ tepidly as there had been any reason to hope, and Ite .... itetaL i to i a n z, le w e i n th g r i i n u e t er a in n l y r e d w a n n u me b z eloncl: e ha ie t t s t r i as o. aina.72.7—bdos for premises taken by such a company:as fa MGM always, however, be • very difficult matter; and abe illsmemie male upon the company were often very on- Teendeble. Tbe directors had got on as well as they could, sad bid nob paling, and although the cost of their pre miss wall *need the estime.e, they had no reason to be dboaddied. The largest claim of all was originally 49,0001., mad as the directors thought such a sum as that en tirely out of the cpeatils, they were obliged to go to he about it; and he was happy to say that a jury only gave the claimants 9,3001. The nub of that carnet, be thought, did the compasy much good la many asbooquat settlements with other parties, some of whom Mem& their pretensions more Ws ose-half in cossequence 4 it. and the compaay bad not yet had any occasion to go teafury apes another ease ; the directors bad gone before tee two er three times, Out in many cases they had se for ese-half, or one-third, of what the parties bad attempted to claim. Still, the cost of the whets would be kip *sough. The directors were now taking possession lithe peepedee required, the great majority rat which they W get epos terms already settled. The company weald be obliged, after this recess, to go to parliament for permission to raise a further sum. They had taken per already to raise 600,0001., and the director, thought ft would be safer—although be hoped it would not be rt. itTal—to get permusioa to raise 200,000/. more, for they not apply to parliament more frequently than woe aegis cry. The proprietors were now eked, therefore, to siseties the directors' application for such an act of puha meat, la whisk they would include, moreover, the granting of powers to levy • small rata upon lighters, and also to *asp a small sum for overboard wharfage on goods. TM west of power to enforce this last claim had long tam hit as a grievance both by this end other isepoder, which were all, by separate bills, now plus he the sense object. 8-,me opposition would paddy be esconnteren, and the directors must appeal up tie psepistere personally to use their influence with these of parliament with whom each gentleman *wed lir be acquainted. That the company had justice r in ffinffillide is riskier sash a claim, he felt quite sure. die disks were built, it was 'busys customary to pay hallerharfage on goods waterborne to vessels loading at par- Gisler wharfs, while lying in the river ; and if that were Esse is a free river, up to this time, should not this com ma, mach more receive wharfage on goods borne to their ewe wharfs, which had cost the coaspeay upwards of three millions to construct ? . . . Mr. CLARIS observed, that the trade always thought it a peat hardship to pay wharfage on the goods alluded to by the chairman, because such goods were not landed, but everybody did pay it. Th. CHAIUMAN then proposed the following resolution : " That this meeting do approve of the proposed application to parliament fur authority to raise a further sum of 200,0001. for the completion of new works, and for other 'avows; and that the directors be authorised to sign the Ilibteription contract required by the House of Commons." Ia reply to a question from Mr. C The CH eiamAs said that nothing more was included in the phrase, " for other purposes." than the objects he had uplained. The resolution was passed unanimously. It was announced that the dividend would be payable on Wednesday, the 10th. A vote of thanks to the chairman and court of directors ended the proceedings. TAMAR SILYBR LEAD MINES. The adjourned meeting of shareholders, for the pupae of receiving the reply of the directors to the report Otis committee of investigation, was held yesterday, at the London Tavern ; Mr. J. B. CAE/ in the cheir. A voluminous report was presented, which stated that up to October, 1818, Mr. Stainsby had lent the company at luioss periods no less a sum than 18,5521. that he was Wm in default, and had lamest of a Inn which be had not promptly discharged. Halm attased the committee of breath of faith in publish kg their report, which was in many respects a mere subter• fan. The Commute, in moving the adoption of the report, mid he mast admit that he could not concur in it, as it eon lased offensive terms, and it appeared to him, as • director, that by their own showing they had hardly fairly done their duty lir director.. He then moved that the report be received sad adopted. Kr. P. D. HADOw said he was requested, as chairman of flis committee of investigation, to offer a few remarks ea dis attempted answer of the directors to the report wish& had bean published. He had listened molt attentively to Se earner of the directors, but could discover nothing that elataiud anything like an answer to the alienations of the lenairdee, the justice of erlich he would leave for 111 . aitgliag to decide. The directors told them that they would justify their conduct when properly celled upon to II SO. Had they not been so called upon ? They had been Wicked, calmly and dispauioeately, to answer questions, bet they had refused to do so. The report of the directors fortaiaed Wn contradictions, but no answer to that of the committee. They had made use of the shareholders' money may pleased, but would not allow them to know how it was expended. No answer whatever was given to the pay out of the ore bills which had been invariably paid late the bankers long after they became due. It wee no Moto tell him that everything wee balemeed at the end of 1114 1.1 r.

The cathedral staff of Chester consists of a dean, four canons residentiary, and four minor canons. The Rev. Dr. Anwm, the dean, has 1,0001. a year, in addition to the rectory of Doddlestone, worth 6001. a year; which, in his capacity of dean, be conferred upon himself.

Temple Hilliard, M.A , wbo, in addition to his canonry, holds the rectory of Southern, worth 7001. a sear. A brother-in-law of these gentlemen holds one of the minor anomie' of the cathedral.

Boyden. l lt is usual to offer vacant cathedral livings to those mem bers of the capitular staff who are not in possession of bene fices, but in this case the claims of the minor Canons were entirely disregarded, and the valuable appointment was conierred upon the Rev. Mr. Roydr, • young man recently ordained, a son-in-law of the Rev. Canon Blomfield, who, AS beers observed, is a son-in-law of the dean.

" Bring me back the truth," said Napo interest, but too long for our columns. W e a gre e, leen, "with the brutal frankness of the corps-de garde." Santini faithfully discharged this duty.

The Emperor "worked" every morning which the great figure of Napoleon stands as the In a room through which the workmen who were preparing the palace for his reception frequently ill ____ passed. One morning Santini was compelled to absent himself on a matter of business: and in his anxiety to save the writing materials upon his master's table from the hands of these workmen he locked them up. Unfortunately the Emperor arrived that morning earlier than usual, sat down at his long green table, and stretched forth his hand for a pen. There were neither pens nor ink. Napoleon rose hastily, and rang the bell with violence, lie inquired for Santini. The guardian arrived at that moment. Napoleon asked for the key, snatched it from his faithful servant's hand, and bade him leave the palace instantly. Santini in vain endeavoured to explain—Napoleon i wouid not hear a word. He retired in the deepest anguish. lie declares that on that day he would have hailed death with pleasure, for he felt that his career was closed. Luckily, however, he thought of the King's first valet de chambre, M. Marchand (since Count Marchand). He appealed to this gen tleman, and, through him, obtained his master's par don. Napoleon had forgotten that he had dismissed the guardian of his portfolio, and had wondered when he had not found him at his post. With a playful pinch of the ear Santini was re-installed. He was soon called to perform more active and important services. One day a report was circulated throughout Elba that an attempt had been made upon the Emperor's life. The assassins were rescued from the fury of the islanders by the orders of their intended victim; and re-embarked in the Corsican boat from which they had landed. On the following night Santini was at sea—bound for Corsica. His instructions were to organise a secret police in this island, whose duty it should be to watch the actions of the Gover nor, Brulard, and his emisearies, and to warn the authorities of Elba of the approach of any danger. He landed at midnight in the disguise of a Corsican peasant, and made direct for the house of his uncle, Boccheciampe who, although n friend of the English domination, bore a chivalrous feeling towards his fellow-countryman the illustrious exile. Through this man Santini learned that Billiard had hired bands of assassins 1 in different parts—but especially at Caprajo and Giglio—little islands in the Tuscan Sea. Santini sent this information off by a trusty servant, without a moment's delay. But Santini's presence was soon made known to the Corsican Governor; and orders were at once issued for his arrest. His friends, however, were able to warn him in time. He es °aped to Bastin, where he found a brave fellow, who at the risk of his life, took him in his felouque to Porto-Ferrajo. On his return Napoleon honoured him a second time, by pulling his ear in token of satisfaction. HEALTH OF LONDON. In the week that ended last Saturday the deaths of 1,608 pereons, namely 789 males and 719 females, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1844-63 the avenge number was 1,164, and if this is raised in proportion to increase of population it becomes 1,280. The present return shows an excess above the cor rected average, amounting to 228. In the first three weeks of December the number rt turned weekly was about 1,300. Tho increase in last week's re aistration is not the effect of an increased rate of mortality ; It anus for the most part, if not entirely, from coroner', cases which occurred in former weeks, and have been accu mulating till the end of the quarter. This irregularity is almost wholly confined to those deaths which in the list of fatal causes are classified as caused by "violence, privation, and intemperance." Two hundred and eighty-two deaths are attributed to diseases of the symotic ChM, the corrected average being 257. Amongst these small-pox was fatal in 33 casts, 8 of which occurred to persons beyond childhood • measles in 30; scarlatina in 82; hooping-cough in 41, an d typhus and other fevers in 49 cases. In the class of deaths produced by external causes, and which consists chiefly of cases on which inquests hive been held, 3 deaths resulted from in temperance, 2 from privation, 8 from want of breast-milk, and 6 from exposure to cold. Last week the births of 820 boys, end 819 girls, In all 1,639 children, were registered in London. In the nine corresponding weeks of the years 1815,53 the average number was 1,208. . _ . During the 62 weeks of the past year (1864) the total deaths in London amounted to 73,697, so that the general mortality of the year, which in this vast city it at the rate of 26 in 1,( 00, rose to the high rate of 29 in 1,000. The deaths in 1849 were 68,432 ; yet upon Wang the in crease of population into account, the rate of mortality was rather lower in 1854, notwithstanding the increase of deaths, than it was in 1849. The exact rate of mortality was 3 003 per cent. on the population in 1949, and 2.938 per cent. in 1851. The epidemic of cholera in the two years separated by an interval of five years thus raised the mortality one-fifth part above the arersge. A table is published with the new return on the influence of density of population. The population of London is very unequally distributed over 78,029 acres of ground ; is several of the outlying sub-districts the inhabitants are in the proportion of 1,2, 3,4, 5,6, 10 on au acre, in other sub-districts the population becomes so crowded that there are 200, 250, 300, 400, and in one sub-district 432 persons lodged on every acre of ground. This table shows that there is no direct connexion between these different degrees of density and the fatality of cholera. The epidemic was not generally more fatal in the sub-districts leaving less than 100 persons to an sere than it was in the dense districts having 200 persons and upwards to an acre. FLOODING Or TH2 NORWICH AND YARStOtrit —To add to the misfortunes of the company, the traffic of the Norwich and Yarmouth line has been stopped by the waters of the Yare and neighbouring streams overflowing their banks end flooding the permanent way. It is feared that much mischief has been done to the evrth work, but until the waters subside the extent cannot be ascertained. The trains could not be sent through this morning. THE ST. JOHN'S WOOD AND POBTLAND TOWN PROVIDENT DISPENSART.—Yesterday the tenth annual general meeting of the subscribers to this charitable institu tion was held at the Dispensary-house, Henteridge-villas, Ordnance-road, Bt. Johes•wood. Mr. W. Collins presided. Tim report congratulated the subscribers upon the important benefits conferred upon the poorer inhabitants of this exten sive district by the establishment of this dispensary ; and as a proof that it is duly appreciated, stated that the number of patients steadily increases. The year of 1864 has been pa eventful one to most institutions in the metropolis and its sabarbe connected with the health at the people • anti although the committee acknowledge with gratitu de that thle district did not railer from the meet virulent phases of the epidemic which prevailed during the months of August OM September, yet it was visited to a considerable event by its milder form of choleraic diersbeca ; and the commit tee, feeling that the extraordinary circumstances of the case justified a relaxation of the ruler, provided medicine and assistance to all who applied fer aid, and the supporters of the society will be happy to learn that, during the period alluded to, from 180 to 200 persons weekly were relieved at the dispenser/. These more extended operations have greatly augmented the expenditure, and increased subscrip dons and donations are most earneetly called for. The re port, after thanking the medical officer+ for their services, concluded Si follows:—" The new premises referred to in the last report have proved most convenient, and have afforded a great increase of comforts to the patients. The an/porters of the institution will not, however, forget that 2351. of the porosities money still remains unpaid, and that it is only by their liberality that this heavy debt can be ' liquidated." The report having been moved and seconded, was carried new. dis., end the meeting separated.

M. Chantard jus tifies this proceeding by the assertion that the framers tithe holy alliance broke their treaty by sending a equadror, of British ships to cruise off Elba, for the purpose of carrying off Napoleon to Saint Lucia or Saint Helena. Thus, it is insisted, the holy allianoe broke the compact of the 11th of April, 1814, leaving Napoleon free to act. Again, it is vehemently asserted bat the moneys guaranteed to the exile were not paid to him. Santini followed his master throsgh that epitome of a century—the hundred days. When the tragic climax of this drama was played, England, according to M. Chantard, held out her arms to Napoleon, that she might stifle him after six years of torture. The Northumberland is far on her way to St. Helena, when the faithful Santini re-appears upon the scene—in the not of cutting a fellow servant's hair. The Emperor pissed up and down the deck while this operation was being performed. Presently he halted before Santini, and turning to Las Cases, said laughingly—" What! here is the guardian of my portfolio turned hairdresser!" Seeing his ser vant's skill, the :invent ordered him to repair to his room and tr l t u pon the Imperial head. Santini's hand I t" . .;aibled as be set about his task ; presently, in P*.ll *embarrassment, he 'crotched his master's ear, whereupon Napoleon, pretending great indignution, tad Marchand to throw him into the sea, We shall not here enter upon the just complaints dNapoleon at St. Helena.

The dim:ton, accompanied by several of the principal shareholders, left the Easton station at an early hour, and upon arrival at Northampton were met by the Its,. Mr. Cux, the rector of Gaston and part proprietsr of the property. Lord Pal months' she other proprietor, was prevented atte n di ng through his ministerial duties, bat sent • communication cesgratulating the directors upon the progress they had made. The company, after iospecting the various works, drawn along the railway enastructed for the convey lag the ore and bricks to the Northampton and Peterbo rough line. Upon arriving at the end of it Mr. Bragood, the elninsaa, addressed the assemblage at some length, and declared the marks opened. The railway constructed by the company is of a most substantial description, one nails in length, passing by a viaduct over the river Nene. A branch is thus alai te the Grand Junction Canal, afford ing the advantages both of water and railway conveyance. The line joins that of the London and North Western about • mile and • half from the town of Northampton, and at this Foist a aiding for the company's trucks has been laid down, upwards of a quarter of • mile in length. The company afterwards proceeded to the George lan, Northampton, where an excellent dinner was provided. Mr. Bisgud, who presided, after giving the usual loyal touts, gave the health. of Lord and Lady Palmentoo, and referred to the very liberal manner in which his lordship bad acted towards the company. A similar compliment was also paid to the Rev. Mr. Cox. Mr. Rivulta the solicitor of the company, was unab4 to attend, bit sent an Co gently chased silver snuff hos to Ur. Lucas, the managing director. The whole of the proceedings appeared to giro great satisfaction to all present. It may be stated that the ore is scarcely three feet from endue, containing from 40 to 60 per cent. of iron, and is from 20 to 30 feet deep. The works require no sh aft, as it is merely cutting down a bill. The proprietors also anticipate a profitable return from their brickmaking operations. FROM She LONDON GAZaTTE—Tetesday, Jas. 2.
