Iry Quarter: by sir , waffles, from an oh...cure quarter, their old friends Sir Richard '" 171 N oilk atstfordslitte.. and on Vienna s Yesterday . the annual general meeting_ of the shareholders i n this eompeny was held at their cffices, Lan caster-place,: Straird. Themes Dakin, Esq., the chairman of the board of directors, presided.l The meeting was numerously attended. The SICRZTANY read the report, which stated that the share capital of the company now consists of 15,000 shares, which are 'Wildest to carry out the objects of the company without any morteage tie bt. The accounts showed that up le the end of 1854 the expenditure of the company had lifileMmted , to 112,7091 9e. 104., and that the liabilities M aned at that time amounted to 12,0981. 17s. 6d., end it Was estimated that in sedition to these sums a further expenditure of about 7,0001. would be necessary to carry eat the objects of the company, and that it would be neces sary to make a call cf it. on each of the shareholders c f the employ, making 91. paid up, which tray considered would be sufficient for all the requirements of the company. The cemetery was opened for public interments en the 13th of November last, and up to the end of January 325 (utters's had %ekes plena in the comeany's ground. Estimating the total expenditure of the company on account of capital at 135,0001., it would only require a weekly receipt of 2001. to defray working and current ezpecses, sad to pay five per cent. on the am.unt paid up en the share capital. The number, of burials in the imetropelis is &Pout 1,400 weekly, and the directors gelleipated that before many months have pared a lees portion of them would take place in the cemetery of Ilibsocapany. In addition to the parishes o intruded with, na4 mentioned in the report of Argue 1854, definite ar nagentents have been s!ace entered into with the parishes of St. Luke, Chelsea, Bermondsey, and Chioirick. Tao direct irs are also in communication with the parochial au thorities of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch ; St. George the Martyr. Queen's-square ; Sr. John's and St. Marg-ret's, Westmicster ; St George the Martyr, Southwark; St. George's in the Ease Wtitechapel Unit,' and Depterd ; but the full benefit was not yet derived from Union, and parishes 122 with which deficits cnotracts had been concluded, on ac count of subsisting contracts,ethich in some cane existed with 161 other burial grounds for short unexpired periods. It The CH•IIIMAN said the accounts hid been prepared gi under the superintendence of a professional aomuntant. The first clause is the report related to the shay capital of e t , the company. They would recollect that is the prospectus fie beau dby the present directors they stated that they could e 0 bring the concern into working order fur 125,0001., this es- 33 female not including a claim made by Sir Richard Broun s ! and Mr. Spry. They bad now 1 5,000 sharer, and of ecurso 1 1, a greater amount per share bad to be called than would have eo been necomary if 25,000 shares, as originally contemplat.d, et. bad been issued. In December, 1851, ell the calls hie bea to paid up except on 12.5 shares; 50 of there belonged to Mr. s it Smart, who had already more then paid for them by pro- 7 5 Z . : tuitional services ;50 had since been paideup, and the re- 10 maioing 26 had not been paid up, in consequence of a mis- et. take of the bankers, who refes2d to take the money because It. it came a day after the time. With regard to the expendi- ht. ture,which bad bees estimated at 1 28 , 0001 ., the report stated D. that they hail already expended or had bee, me liable for Et. that sum, and that they would require 7,0001 more. There tei were two items alone which ezplaiced the &Serene. One et. was the cut of the Leaden terminus, and the otter the So expense of drainage, both of which had amounted to more I than the estimate, but the weeks had been well and. eM et Melody dose, and in a manner which he believed le i would, in the end, be the most economical. In stating that the capital of the company w.s 135,0001., 111 they did not consider that there were not reproductive at.Oh elements in their position apart from and beyond the actual working of the company. Within the last two months, Za they had been in commthaicetion with the Roman catholic t community, and had had from them an offer of 5,0001. for Ili 50 acres of their ground, which would so far have lessened Bt. , the capital necessary for the company. He had reason to 30 believe that what the directors considered the fair value of 1,1 those 50 acres would be paid to them. They were also in to , treaty for the sal- of a smaller enaidity to the Jewish coin- 15 inanity, who would give what the directors thought was a St. lair pries. Then they had let off another portion of their St. lent', about 70 urea, on lease, for w hich they 30 were to receive a rent varying from 7s. an acre the first three years to 21s. in the last. They had also concluded a contract for the briek earth, for whisk they were to re- 25 cell'e an absolute royalty of 60/. a you, and a further 30 royalty on the bricks made, and they had reason to expect 20 a large return from this contract. Above all, they had a lar bill before parliament, which bad passed the Minding s o orders, for the sale of a portion of their land which they at . would not require. They could sell about 400 scree round 16 Woking station. They had waited on Lord Palmerston, • who, through the tinder-Socretary, bad intimated to them et that he approved of the bill. 18 A 811ANKHOLDLI1-1 , the bill opposed? Tte Cuelamex said be did not think the commoners of to Woking would oppose it, seeing that they bid so hand- St. comely compensated them; but there might be opposition r from an obscure quarter, their old friends Sir Richard Belau and Sir. Spry. Sir Richard Broun had made so preposterous claims on them, on the ground that he was the to miginator of the undertaking, that he had entered into St esstracts for land, and that ho bad handed over his designs Ste end statistical information to this company. He believed ;h a that there wu no foundation whatever for any suck 41, Within the last six mouths an action had been commenced 50 by Sir Richard against the company, which had been dire tie aostinued and he then filed a bill in Chancery. They had So demurred , to the bal, and the demurrer had been overfilled; 20 ' but he (tee chairman) believed they would succeed on the Merits. He thoeght, therefor., as far as the capital went, they did not look to any large deduction s on account of 2,, these claims. Then, to come to the revenue : they had to had an average of something like thirty funerals a te week; but they were increasing. Last week there were 45, and the money received was 1011 . 15s. 82. Deducting " payments to the railway company, 211. 7s. 6.1., and for undertakers and statuary 35/. 6.1., there remained a profit for the week of 431. 10e. 82. to the company, which he thought was a promising feature of success. He con- 10 eluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. W. A. WILKINSON. M.P., seconded the motion. Mr. Moons Mooon complained that the accounts bad net been ef sent to the shareholders 14 days before the meeting, as re quired by the deed of settlement. ge Same conversation ensued, when it turned out that the provision in question required the accounts to be sent 14 33 days after the meetiog. Se After some further discussion of a personal character, the is motion was put and unaaimously 'greed to. 12; The Hon. F. H. Berkeley, M.P., Mr. Austin, and Mr. l'eri John Jones, were then re-elected directors ; and Mr. Fitz ao gerald, auditor. tit. Mr. WILKINSON then moved a resolution, thanking the directors for their services, and expressing an opinion that t y te they ought to be recompensed as soon as the provisions of " the deed of settlement permitted, the deed prohibiting sj this being done till profits are declared. Mr. CIANNTMERZ seconded it, and the motion was uncoil- ro mouldy passed. 100 The meeting then separated. so i 3 a di. 4t Si die 12 11 32 n ill 33 Du 4 Pia 4t 44 • 6 6 L__ 64_ 61 Pm TIAILY NEWS LENT TO READ, from 8 a.m. %am s p... t at 1 a. per watt; 'spatial In town or country. at `p.m, for 34, Per 417. or lat. ad. p quarter ; by Ilr.

This was the case yesterday with Mr. Leslie, the 100 member for Monaghan county ;the peak of his ska t e s caught 100 the projection, and he fell upon the spikes with such force 10 that one of them entered the fleshy pared his thigh, causing rs the blood to flow copiously.

Mr. Cardwell, it appears, was in com pany with his lordship. As regards the important subject of the overland trade with Russia, the im preabion produced upon the deputation was, that Ministers are very desirous of doing their utmost towards putting a stop to this trade, but that they have not been able as yet to devise effectual means. Perhaps Mr. Collier's long-deferred motion in the House of Commons may lead to a more decided and more public expression of the intentions of the new Cabinet. A portion of the gold brought in by the Tagus was to-day taken for exportation.

Accounts, both current and on de posit, are to be received, and interest allowed, and every branch of legitimate banking business is to be included in the scope of the operations of the pro jected institution. The prospectus contains a list of five of the chief joint-stock banks, the shares of which stand now at an average premium of 118 per cent., whilst the dividends last declared have aver aged 141. 14s. per cent. per annum, irrespective of the accumulation of large reserve funds.

Last evening the second annual meeting for the distribution of rewards to those late scholars of the London Ragged School Union who have continued to behave well in the various industrial situations provided for them, was held in St. Martin's Hall. Several hundred youths, maidens, and children partook of the good thing. of the tea table, and on the platform, and in the galleries, was a large assembly of their benevolent patrons. After tea, the chair was takes by the Earl of Shaftesbury. A hymn having been sung, and a prayer offered by the Rev. Mr. Sherman, his lordship commenced the proceedings by observing that he regarded this as another instance of the special grace and providence of God, that they were ea abled to meet for a second commemoration of the good conduct of these children, who had, by religious teaching, been ex tricated from the degradation of their previous life. These festivities, humble as they might appear, recorded as great a triumph as ever was achieved in history. Toey were a testimony that it was possible to elevate the very Pariah, of society, and make them fit to be seated with the best and the greatest in the land,—a certain evidence that by going boldly into the worst alleys of a great city with the Word of God, and with the Saviour's love, the evil might be overcome, and the most blessed good might be aocomplished. He wished that ouch celebrations as this were more frequent, and more pslatablo to the generality of men. lie should not disparage other triumphs, achieved by other arms on land or water. At such a crisis of the national his- I tory as this, God forbid that he should speak of those deeds slightly ; but let come honour be given likewise to those who grappled with, and thus successfully, the powers of the Devil amidst our own teeming population. He wished for a combination of greater forces in this contest, that still greater results might be won. Thousands had been re claimed, and thousands snore would be :reclaimed, to a Christian life and to the pale of society ; and the agency of the ragged schools, amongst other agencies, had been blessed with extensive success. Last year there were 144 successful candidates for the prize (of 10s. each) given to those scholars who had, in their services and employments, conducted themselves well during the 12 months preceding. This year there were 327, of whom 19 however having re ceived the last year's prize, were not to be included in this year's list. The whole number of candidates this year was 405, of whom 97 were rejected, not because any fault was imputed to them, but only because their cases did not fulfil the conditions, some being a little below, sod others a little above the prescribed limits of age (all being excluded under twelve, or above eighteen years of age); and tome of them, perhaps, not having completed, within a few days, the whole period of twelve months, for which it was required that they should have remained in one situation. The 327 scholars belonged to 53 schools is the ution • there were 222 boys and 10.5 girls, each of whom brought a certificate of good conduct from his or her employer, for the put twelve months. It was very encou raging to observe that, from the age of fourteen upwards, the oldest scholars supplied the most candidates for the prise, showing that the lessons imparted to them they con tinued to practise, and that having been trained to go the right way, they did not depart from it. His lordship, after some remarks on the great social and political importance of Christian education, urged upon all climes of people, who had the means of helping this work, to be mindful of so responsible a duty. Not we'll', rank, or social influence was needed; only personal energy, with a knowledge and love of the scriptures, and a determination to make their blessings felt even in the most foul and miserable recesses of London. He then spoke to the children themselves in a kindly and parental manner, desiring them to show their gratitude to friends and teachers by maintaining a good example throughout their lives. The Rev. 11 BICALERSTETH, rector of St. Giles, next ud dressed the young people, admonishing them to beware of idlences, bad company, and Sabbath breaking, and to attend I to their religious cultivation. Mr. J. PAYNE diverted them very much with a lively and humorous speech, interspersed with comical rhymes to MINN their memories, but containing a good deal of sensible advice. He said, parodying the famous " Song of Six pence," that such a party as those 300 happy young folk wade up, was indeed " a dainty dish to set before the Queen,' and that he believed it would be set before her Majesty by their noble chairman, for the Queen felt great interest in this ragged school movement. Mr. Mimic' then spoke, encouraging the lads and girls with the prospect of respectability and comfort which they might attain by honest industry, and even allowing them a g impso of the Whittingtonisn dignity of Lord Mayor; and assuring them, at last, that there was nothing in the laws of this country to prevent any one of them becoming a peer or peeress of the realm if they succeeded, by tht it. good conduct, morality, industry, and untiring peruverance, ' in acquiring for themselves wealth, honour, and station. What was nearer to their r ach, he told them, C.ot the principal confidential persons in his own service were once little boys who swept the warehouse at six or seven shillings a week, and whom he had selected for promotion because of their own good behaviour. The children were, after having been thus addressed, called up in order and presented each with the prise and with a certificate of merit. The proceedings altogether were of a very gratifying charact r.
