Thomas Binaey, the Rev. Henry Allen, and Alderman Salomon., regretting they could not be present at the meeting, and expressing their cordial concurrence in its objects. lie then reed a statement of the progress of the early-closing movement, from the sonasaidnoement to the present time, which was received with mach applaud's. J. W. HUBBARD, Req. , late Governor of the Bank of England, wowed the flrst resolution, to the effect that as the Saturday half-holiday hid been tried is Edinburgh, Glasgow, and all the principal town. in Scotland, in Liverpo ol, Maachester, and many large towns in Busland, and even is lathy important branches of trade in London, and was tolead to work besellaially for both the employers and the employed, it was expedient to adopt that practice wherever it was practicable. He said he should have been unwilling to have moved each a reso lution at the eommeadwaserat of the movement, for he thought it would be dictating to employers what time they should let their people work ; bat that difficulty was re moved, for he saw that those very =oaten who were interested in the matter were not only the sup porters of the motion, hut the actual promoters of it. (Cheers.) There was a stupid 'atom extant that capital and labour were is antagoaistio positions ; and with narrow-minded people it was so, for they sacrificed every. thing end everybody to gun. Bat the enlightened oapitaitst Stand that his greatest gain was in aunt wearing out his labourers by overwoltinp them. The Bev. Taaanam Gam] seconded the resolution, which was earned unanimously. Mr. J. R. Tat Los proposed the nest resolution, to the effect that a memorial be preseated to the proper authorities praying for the closing of law, public, and other offices at toe o'clock on Saturdays. He said that 236 firms of Loa don had petitioned the judges to this effect; but one of them feeling that be could not pins up so much time belonging to the public, 'mold sot assent is it, and the others would not act without him.

Mr. Alai/LORI Moons proposed and Mr. Deputy HOLT seconded the next resolution, recommending the airman to pay wages on Friday, or early on Eisturday. This and some complimentary resolutions having been pat and serried, the proceedings terminated. STORMY PEACE MEETING AT ST. MARTIN'S HALL. Lut night a public meeting Mae held at St. Martin's Hall, Long-acre, .• to take the opinion of the public upon the momentous (Laudon of peace or war." Mr. J. HAMILTON, of Southwark hustings notoriety, took the chair. Toe attendance was comparatively thin at the commencement of the proceedings, bat towards the close the hall was pretty well filled. The CHLIAMAN, is a lug rhapsodic speech, sontitually interrupted by tempests of mingled cheats and hisses, pro ceeded to state his opinions upon the war and its conse quences, sasuriag the meeting that be did not know the amount of treasure expanded, nor did he know how much tsarina of liberty had been made ; but he would say with out hesitation that nearly 600,100 human lives had been lost; and it was his duty to inform them that a grave int premien had gone abroad that the brave British army in the Crimea might possibly be doomed to perish without returning to their nadve land. He would not tell them what they fought for, unless he were to utter dark suspicions ; bat if the Christian religion had never been known, and if there bad been no recogni tion of eternal justice on earth, there could not have been a war more recklessly carried on ; and history, he believed, would brand the war es an atheistical one. (Hisses and cheering.) Ia meclasioa, the chairman, as the beat advice be could give them, recommended the people of England to refuse to supply to their government dime materials of war which were may used for their own destruction. (Uproar.) Mr. BRONTII.II.II O'Batax attacked the newspaper press of the metropolis because they would not rrataitously publish an address, cf about two columns in length, emana ting from a society of which he (Mr. B. O'Brien) is prose. dent. After characterising the war as en aggression epos the part of England, and making a fierce attack upon die government of England and Franco, amid much teen aim be concluded by proposing a long resolution Goad.= caddy of the war, and strongly protesting merest its far ther continuance. (Uproar.) Mr. J. O Humus, in seconding the resolution, expressed the usursac• that it would be unanimously adopted, and that it would have an electrifying effect throughout the country, that the government would be turned out, end universal pesos prevail. (Loud laughter.) Mr. P•aaMORZ EDWAZDS rote to prot Ore an emend. meet, denouncing the war " as a mockery, a delusion, and a snare ;" but the meeting deckled that this wu no amend ment, and rehired to hear him. About fifteen other gentlemen, anxious to address the meetiag,then jumped to the frost of the rostrum. contendieg for a long time for precedenee, amid a setae of indescribable confusion, in which the chairman found his seat anything but one of rose leaves. Ultimately, Mr. Hoaace ST. Joe. obtained a hearing, and moved se an amendment, " That this meeting merman, both the justice sad necessity of the war in which we are sagged, and seeing that the great objects for which it was wider takea are still unaccomilished, pledges itself to support any honest government that will vigorously prosecute it to an honourable and victorious termination." Mr. St. John, in Buskin to his resolution, aroused the ire of the peace party, one of whom advanced sad shook his band in the speaker's feu, and another scene of uproar tack place, which it is impossible to describe. Afterwards, Mr. H. COOK' seconded the amendment, asserting his espial°e that the people of England had not abated one jot of their determined°a to carry on the glorious war. (Coafespioa.) Mr. W. WILLIS vehemently opposed the amendment, exciting considerable surprise by characterisieg the bom bardment of Sweaborg es the crowning proof of ministerial treachery, because it was calculated to do more harm to the Fins, our friends, than to the Bandits, cur imunies—ea anaoancement which wee met by a storm of ridicule and disapprobation ; but Mr. Wilkes afterwards recoup.' ground by advoutiog the extension of aid to Poland. He advised them to stop the war until they had put down Palneenton and got universal suffrage. Mr. BAXIIIL HYDD observed that the wishes and ascendancy of Mania could not possibly be better promoted than by stopping the war unconditionally. (Load chum) He loved pease ; but pesos, in the pewee state of Europe, meant fighting and oosqueiag Buda. (Loud chute.) War was a great game, and they must sot be idle at it; either het them make peace In serous or make war la earned. (Load applauds.) Mr. G. THOMPSON supported the ressiutioa. The amendment and the original resolution were then put by the &airman, whoa the latter was carried by a majority of two to out.

The receipts from passenger traffic have been less by 1.41191.185. than daring the correaponding ela months of 1854. The goods traffic his recovered its posi tion. Coke, and other items of stores required for the working of the railway, having greatly advanced in price at the commencement of the present year, it became the duty of the directors to endeavour to adopt some means for meetiog the additional expenditure thus necessarily incurred. With this object, and der gto the general opinion that the scale of fares was unduly low, the directors, in April last, ceased to make an allowance upon day tickets for the double journey. This experiment not prov ag successful, the former system of malting an abatement from the double fare on day tickets was partially restored on the Ist of June, and, es far as can be ascertained, with satisfactory results. A portion if the deficiency in the receipts from passenger traffic above noticed may ao doubt be ascribed to the temporary aban donment of the day ticket system. It is satisfactory to re port that the working of the traffic has boon conducted since Feb. last'with that regularity which is essential to the success of the unlerteklng. In consequence of the present insufficient number of the company's stock of passenger engines, this important result his bun accomplished only by great ;Ronal and at an increased oat for engine power. The locomotive expenses fur the past half-year are higher by 1,7212 5.. 11d. than they were during the correspondiog six mouths of 1854, and 2,7781. 6.. 3d. more then during the last six months of that year. Since the last general meeting three goods engines have been delivered by the manufacturers, and the time has now arrived far the delivery of the addi- ' tional passenger engines contracted for last year. When' these are received greater economy of working may be effected. The new Metropolitan Cattle Market was opened on the 16th of Jane last, and there would appear to be good prospects that the expectations of a gradual awession of traffic from that slum will not be disappointed In the account' of the past hell year, the revenue is charged with interest on the borrowed moneys, raised on the secu rity of the company's surplus pro?erty, sad in anticipation of the issue of shares in the new capital of 1854 ; and the rents arising from the surplus property have, on the other hand, been carried to the credit of revenue. Oat of the 122,6601. five per cent. debenture bonds, shown in the capital account, 61,0001. fell due on the 10th July last, when the directors were enabled to raise 66,0001. of the amount at 41 per cent , and 6,0001. at 41 per cent. The vaeasey in the direction, which has bees occasioned the lamented death of Mr. W. H. Thomas, has not bun dled up in the usual manner by the board, the directors deeming it advisable to leave the seat vacant until the ordinary elec. tits° in February, 1866." The CHAIRMAN heel's moved the adoption of this re port, sad of the statement of account., with a tow appro priate remarks, . . _ Mr. ONION made some comments upon the ispolicy of the step taken by t►e directors last March, in raising the fares, to which he ascribed, mon that to any other eases, this falling off of the traffic receipt'. lie also referred to the imperfect arrangements made for the management of the passenger train:, and the risk of the company being defrauded while the allure neglec•.ed to require season tie►ets to be pro'noed by their holden upon every occasion when they traveled upon the line. The Cmalaxam and Mr. Rosa MArrotn, one of the directors, replied to these observations, that the fallinx off of the porringer traffic to the amount of 1,4001. should not be attributed to the alteration of the fares, because decrees of traffic had been experienced by the Tilbury and Southend, a line similar to this oae, and by abreast every other railway : and its real came was the pres nre of war taxation upon the people. The report having been adopted new. Con., Mr. 0111TOX proposed a resolution, declaring that it was expedient to return to the old seals of fares, and this was carried bet with few dissentient votes. Some farther coo iou ensued, in which Mr. Pitts, Mr. Parson., Mr. Herapath, and other gentlemen, took part, sad th e Chairman amend thee that their reeom suendationn as well as the resolution whisk had just bees past, should have the best consideration of the directors. A dividend of two per cent. for the half-pear was then declared. A resolution was pseud, authorising the directors 10e:- 'raise the powers conferred by the company's act of 1144, to borrow the sum of 25,0001. ; and another resolution, for the purpose of minvertiog or consolidating the 501. and 101. shares of the company into the general capital stock, so cordials to the set Bth Victoria, chapter 16th, section 61st. With a rote of thanks to the chairman the proceedings ended. BUCKINGHAMSHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday, at the Bury Station; Mr. THOMAS DUODAL3, the chairman of the check's, presiding. An abstract of the N »port and simnants has already appeared in the Da i ly ew. The Camawair said the capital account for the half-year amounted to 27,2P81, and on this and all other items of the actuante, the directors' report Afforded all the explanations required. Though he regretted in common with other shareholders, that the causes of depression to which he alluded at the last meeting was still influencing railway property, yet he thought that additional cooadearte in the future value of this sisidertnaing was afforded by the steady maintenance of the pawsger traffic, and the increase in goods traffic o►tained under the disadvantageous circum stances of the past half-year. The question of setting aside • fend he ebe remetral of sleek sad replacement of the pommies& way had been osier emeldendias by thefts,- tors, and would be again b roug ht before the shareholders at the neat half-yearly meeting. Of the 1.0,000 four-and a-half per cent. pre snow shares, representing &capital of 100,0001. authorised to be raised at the last meeting, 14,836 shares, representing 74,1601., had been issued, and the re mainder were in the hand. , of the company. The loans had been increased by 20,3481.95. 6d. He wu glad to see that his opinions of the probable value of the Burscongh and Southport line bad been verified by the results shown since the opening, for besides increasing the general traffic of the railway, the mileage proportion of the traffic over that breach showed a good net return upon its coat. He regretted the competition with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company ae to the Southport traffic, and although it had hitherto been advantageous to this company, and although the directors did not anticipate any pecuniary loss molting from it, yet, as they were desirous of maintaining friendly relations with neighbouring companies, they had upraised a willinvieu to eater into amicable arrangements from all competing pouts on reasonable terms; and they were still desirous to conclude such a peace as would be honourable cad consistent with the interests of the shareholders; but they had received no reply from the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company, although they had begged attention to the subject so early as May, 1864. He was glad that the bill introduced by the proprietors of the North Union as to the Preston station had bees defeated, as it would hays bees prejodicial to the interests of this company ; bat the directors were ready to consider any well-devised scheme for additional accommodation there, which should at the same time be beneficial for all the companies concerned. (Hear, hear.) The directors were unanimously of opinion that this company should not become joint owners of the Liverpool Dock Branch, the cost of which would not be much leas than 400,0001. The Esst Lancashire had not more than one-filth of the merchandise traffic using the joint entrance into Liverpool, and however desiratole it might be that they should become joint owners of the branch, it was obviously unfair that they should be called on to pay half its coat. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Company were hound to pay to this company, if refusing to become joint owners, the prinerpsl sum of 98,8611. Ile. 9d. expended in land, with interest at five per cent. from the time expended till the time of payment, on or before the 2nd of. June, 1867; and also to pay on the god September nest all interest then due, and it would amount to nearly 42,0001. The shareholders would be gratified to learn that the traffic of the half-year had been conducted without a single accident to aay passenger. (Hear.) He concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. RILIY, • director, seconded the motion. Mr. Houma, of Ormakirk, hoped the joint ownership of the dock branch might became the subject of future Lego. tiatioa, and suggested that all possible precautions should be taken to avoid danger and iaconvenience to regular peahen. gen by the overcrowding of trains with ezeuraiuoiate. The resolution was carried unaaimously, as aiso another, declaring a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum on the 6 per cent. capital; of 6 per cent, on the amount called up of the preference fifth shares; of 41 per cent. on the amount called up of the 41 per cent. preference shares; and of 4 per cent. on the ordinary stock of the company. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thsaks to the abstruse. STOCKTON AN!) DARLINGTON RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of this company (was held yesterday at Darlington, Mr. MZYNELL in the choir. The directors reported the passing of th, tr bill to raise 200,000/. additional capital for the further development of traffic, also to cancel 200,9001. of unissued B shares, and to issue a oorresponding amount of ordinary shares ; to make arrangements with the holders of issued B shares (4 per cents.), and to assimilate them to A's (6 per cents.) The revenue tables were most satisfactory, the nett balances being sufficient after paying preferences, rentals, &0., for a dividend of 9 per cent. on ordinary shares. The income of the half year we. 143,0001. against 126,0001. in the coy reepondieg half-year of ls&4. The disbursements had been heavy, about 10.0001. having been spent in re• laying rails, &a. The permanent way was then in as good order as possible. In five years the traffic had doubled. The report having bees adopted, and the dividends, ordered, the Chairman entered into some explanations on a complaint by Mr. Tuckett, of Bristol, respecting the directors having allowed an impression to exist until six months ag ~ that the B shares had been issued. The announcement that they were to be can celled, Mr. Tuckett complained, bad nude them un— marketable for the last six months. The Chairman c.ntended that the terms proposed to the B holders would be advantageous to them, for they were to be placed on an equality with A's, raising their interest from 4 to 5 per cent. on their paying a bonus of 21 101. per share, thus giving them 6 per cent. for 21. The arrangements for idsuieg 200,0001. worth of new shares, &c , were than agreed to. The meetings of the:Araalgamatact Wear Valley and lied.:ar Companies were afterwards held, and the guaranteed divi dends ordered. (Stamped ld. Additional.) [TWOPENC E. HEREFORD, ROSS, AND GLOUCESTER RAILWAY. The half-y early meeting of this company was held yesterday at Hereford; Colonel VAUGHAN in to. chair. The report expressed a wild lent hope, from the result of the working of the line since the opening on the lst of June, that the shareholders would ultimately be amply rensune rated for their outlay. The traffic receipts fur the first month after the opening showed an ge of 161. per min. The directors, with a view to economy, proposed to reduce their own allowance from 4001. to 2001. per annum. Their best efforts were being aids to ensure an early complet'en of all the works. 01 the 30,0001. which they were autho rised to rain by 6 per cent. preference shame, only 18,0001. had been allotted, mid the remainder the directors recom mended should be 'akin up by the present shareholder. The statement of accounts showed the total amount received to the 30th of June to be 316,4911., and the expenditure 315,2291, leaving a balance of ,262.1. The directors would be enabled at the half-yearly meeting ill February is lay before the shareholder a complete, end, they trusted, a satisfactory position of the entire financial position of the eompany. The report was unanimously adopted, as were the other formal resolutions, and the proceedings terminated. SHREWSBURY AND HEREFORD RAILWAY. Yesterday the half•yearly meeting of this company was held at Shrewsbury, Mr. W. Ormsby Gore presiding. The report stated that the trafile receipts during the put half-year showed an increase of 1.4 per cent. beyond thire of the corresponding half year. Tun increase would have been greater but for the severe winter. The permanent joint station at Hereford would, it was expected, be opened in October seat.

COWES, WEDNISDLY EVENING, AOOUBT 14. • Shortly after the departure of the boat with yester da)'s prootedinga up to that period, the latter part of them became more interesting by a visit of her Majesty and the Royal Family, who honoured the regatta with their pre MCC Shortly after five o'clock the royal yacht Fairy, with the Admiralty flag, and the royal standard fluted from the main, wee seen making its way to the Roads, followed by the Aldo, and it was immediately known that ber Majesty was on board, with the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and other member, of the Royal Family. There were also present in attendance several mei:pliers of her Majesty's household. The Fairy was commaaded by the Hon. Joseph Denman, and on the vessel coming abreast of the Squadron House, a general cheer was raised, and the flogs of West Cowes Castle and the Squadron House were dipped with the usual formality. To the curious in such matters it may be slated that her Majesty wore a large brown hat, with long pink strings, with a stonecoloured cope, and appeared in ezcelb nt health and spirits. Prince Albert was not pre sent, having in the morning gone to Portlend, for the pur pose of witnessing the works there in peewees for the breakwater, and he did not return until nearly 8 o'clock in the evening. The Reenter part of the sports bed termi nated before her Majesty's arrival, but nevertheless she remained for an hour and • half, during which time al rowing matches, duck hunts, and other amusements took place, which appeared greatly to interest th e r o y a l p ar ty. lot the competitors, after the recta, were celled to the side of the Fairy, and were, by direction of her Majesty, most liberally rewarded. The junior members of the royal family seemed highly delighted at the recce known as "duck hunts," but which were followed by a literal meaning of the words, for aver al live ducks were thrown into the water and pursued in a mud determined manner by their human—or perhaps inhuman—tormentrs. After remain ing until nearly seven o'clock, the Fairy and tender pro ceeded up the Solent for about ten miles, and then returned to Osborne. The Royal Yaeht Squadron dinner took place last night, and was well attended.

Clasper, and Day and Bain, Wandsworth men, being pitted against each other, caused the betting to aisumc some inte rest. The Manchester wee in favour at the start ; the Els wick crew, however, gained favour. The curt wee splen did ; the Elswick crew took the lead, and maintained it up to the Willows, closely pressed by the Manchester men, the London men tailing off. The Bleerick crew came in first, the Manchester men being beaten. In the evening the various prizes were presented to the winners by the Lord Mayor, at Cremorne-gardens. Mr. H.

ACCIDENT TO DE. BEDFORD.—We regret to have to relate a serious accident which has happened to the Rev. Dr. Redford, the much respected sod t .lented pastor of the Congregational Dissenters in Dis city. The rev. gentle men lut week went with his wife at d youngret dsugh:er to North Wales, to recruit hie health, and on Friday last took a car to drive round Snowdonia. At the turnpike entering on the pan of Dtanhens, he stood up in the car to pay the toll, and, before be had resumed his seat, the driver est the vehicle in motion ; the consequence was that he was jerked out of the door, whhb, in these 'elsh cars, is always placed at the back, and his feet catching between the door and the seat, he was draped along upon his face for some distance before the car coulit be stopped. He had, however, so supported himself upon his band that has head was not much injured, hut, when he was raised up from his perilous position, it was found that his wrist was both broken and dislocated. The fracture having been rkilfully reduced, we are glad to bear that the rev. reatleman is now guieg on well.— Worcester Chronicle.
