Um LONDON. MONDAY, AUGUST 19. ins half-yearly railway meetings are now in as full swing as grouse shooting. Already, Jailed, those of the two greatest and as yet most successful companies the North Western and the Great Western—are over. Aud the noisier and more disor derly assemblies will quickly follow. Mr. GLYN and Mr. Rroalm. have addressed their subjects in expla nation of the rest and in anticipation of the next six months ; if not with equal success, at all events to their general satisfaction. Bat while the Great Western proprietors have been obliged to rest eon- tent with what they could get—a dividend at the rive of four per cent.; the North nesters share holders present oa the occasion had the ran imagnani mity to retire to ley their " itching palms" on more then their directors recommended they should touch —5 per cent., and, to testi'y their confidence in the board, earri • on its recommendation no lama sum than 140,0001. to the general credit of the parthership, l rattier than impeach its policy by dividing it amongst thescielv,s. Whether so self-denying a body has most reason to be proud of Mr. GLYN, or Mr. GLYN of such a concentration of abrinence and forbear ance, is a delicate question difficult of solution. Per haps they can justly indulge in a reciprocal ad minion. It would be interesting to see the Great Western shareholders placed in a similar pre dicament. _ _ . On the prudence and advisability of carrying over large balances of profit which can be rendered appli cable to prteent dividend, there is, to use Sir Roger de Crerky'a favourite expreetion, "mach to be said ea both sides.* It is the practice of the Bank of England; and the example of that great establish ment has been followed by most other joint-stock basking institutions. It constitutes a reserve fund against which to draw on sudden and unforeseen emergencies, to which all trading concerns, even railways, are liab'e ; it enables the executive to main tain during a half year of unexpectedly diminished profit the ordinary rats of dividend, and so supports the valise of the company's stock in the market; and it cannot but be that a company, having hooeatly a large balance always in hand, and always applicable to divider d, must enjoy a higher trading reputation than a company which semi-annually divides every penny it carol, and commences each half-year anew with an empty till. Such are the obvicus advantages of the practice. Bat then come the hardships so well described by Mr. BRIGHT. The proprietary of a railway company, even of the North Western, is a fleeting body ; the constituency of this half-year is greatly changed next. What is earned in the s'x months ending 30 h June, 1830, is justly the property of the shareholders then on the registry; if they are deprived of any part of it and that part b.' divided amongst the shareholders w:ici are on the registry on 31st Dec., 1830, the new shareholders gain so much that the old proprietors ought to have bad; the former get what is really due to the latter. If railway companies were to be treated as aggrega tions of individuals, and not as corporations or enti ties, this reasoning wsuld be irresistible. But as rail way companies cannot be so treated ; as the law has by incorporating deprived them of ail individual cha racter, this general argument dots not command Practically the goes'ioa is one of law and expe diency. On the 120 h sect. of 8 Viet., c. 16, special pleading might, west once admit, raise a very inge nious argument in support of the proposition that the scheme which the directors are thereby ordered to prepare and lay bef re the shareholders, showing the profits and apportioning the same to dividend, ought to exhaust the profi s ; but it is clear that the shareholders are not bound to di vide all the pr.ifits ; they, if not the directors, have, '1 under the clause, power to reserve profits; though how the welts so reserved in one half year are to be curled into the scheme of the next dces not seem to have been provided fur by the legislature. Is it, then, expedient to carry over large balances of profit ? It is clearly not unjust; it is as clearly not unlawful; is it expedient? That must depend on the facts of each case • on the cause, which, in the particular half-year, pro duced a profit larger than the ordinary dividend; and on the probable circumstances of the next. In the C 486 of the North Western, the justifiestioa will, we think, be found in the last class of reasons. Next half-year there will not only be a heavy addi tional demand on revalue—no ler, raid Mr; WAY, than 95,000 t.—but there is s probability of loss of revenue from the hot competition jest begun with the Great Northern. Under such circumstances to carry forward a suoatantial balance appears only an exer cise of reasonable prudence; though whether 140,0001. be not too large an amount is a question we will not prettnd to decide. It is curious and important, however, to note the numbers by which the directors' proposal to carry forward a balance of 140.0001. and to limit the diet- dead to 5 per cent. was supported and opporei: Two divisions were called for : on the former the numbers for Mr. BRIGHT'S amendment were 68, against it 90; while in favour of Mr. oAaNtrr's amendment for a still larger dividend there were 38, against 113. Now, on the register of the North Western Company there are, Mr. OLIN once stated, nearly 15,000 share holders, and yet on the all-important question of divi• dend not 150 of these 16,000 persona could be assem bled to vote. Such is the confidence of railway pro prietors in their directors. Whether it be a wise or a blind confidence is another question. Oa three topics both Mr. CiLTX and Mr. RUSSELL, In addressing their constituents, agreed, viz., on the necessity for closing the capital amount, on the pro priety of bringing estimates of farther expenditure of capital before their proprietors, and taking votes thereon; and in condemning the Railway Commis sioners Audit Bill, which, though the Lords voted, was smareartly withdrawn from the Commons, and which, as Mr. GLTN happily and trathfully remarked, contained all the bad and objectionable parts of all previous audit bill.. Very different, however, in some other respects, were those railway potentates' speeches to their Wittesagemotee. For whilst Mr. GLYN seemed happy and contented in his own dominions, native sad earnest in his attention and care to the concerns of his own unMeots, and eagseiessly and confidently l oo king forward to better times, Mr. Russell. green bled over sad sneered at low fares, explained how os a point of law rather than of substantial justice he had frustrated the intention of the legislature on the subject of fares, detailed how he bed disputes or liti gations with nearly all his shied ee dependent powers, and how he and the 'slimy carmaieslonen were again in Westminster Hall. It would be savors towy that Mr. Russam. repels, hut it is call justice to add that he does not, ilk* Mr. Ot ix, impin nomadism Oust as the ability with which the Great Westin is masaged, sadoutsd u are the merits of the soheme, large as was at me time its measure of mama% and improving though its prospect. ere, it is strange that the pleasantest of all boos for travelling on should have a mystery, a am plexity, and obscurity about its affairs, its alliances, and its engagements that an, to my the least, unplea sant. To ordicary people, Great Western poliey still wean an appearance of super-subtlety, of isolation, and of selfishness ; its management i s too able, to o reamed, too ingenious. In all its contracts there is a loophole; is all its entragensente a back door. Aad half-yearly Mr. Ruse= is compelled to tell his Mends what a narrow escape he made is jumping out of the formers and how advantageouly for du= he closed the latter just in time.

Oar Indian authorities thought, it seems, that the Sikh Chiefs and Quota Mother could never be left in safety in the Panjaub. In the first burst of victory, they were Weed treated with lenity and consideration. But by degrees fears were excited and pretexts formed, with, we fear, so great oheervanes of good faiths far seizing the chiefs, as well as the Ranee, and tran sporting them as prisoner', from the Indu to the Gasp'. By this severity we of coarse exasperated the chiefs of the aid San insurrection, whilst at the, same time we placed them within reach and facility of escape, from the vicinity of the Nepaul frontier to the places of their confinement. The inevi table result, which any one might have fore seen, has taken place. The intriguing Qasen Mother, sad numbers of the influential Sikhs have made their =from durance, and am new safe eithee at Hat or in some part of the independent country of Nepaul. h is singular mosey that whilst the last maleon tents of Hindostan are thus mustering in the last Hindoo country, which ptmsirvs, a share of in dependeoce, an extraordiosry envoy from that country should have been paying a pro loord visit in England, endeavouring to fathom oar politic", and appreciate our power. With respeet to the first, we doubt that his excellency General Juno BAHADOOIL, can have made much propos. He may have attended parliament all the session, but as to asy one spark of light being . swank oat there as to oar government of India. or intentions towards , it, t'were vain to look. Lmdenhall-strest • has lost several of its magnates by death; their places have been filled up by election. In this fee, all-weighing, and discussing country, the Nepanlese envoy mig ht i have looked, on this ocessise for some die y of iginciple, some struggle of Party, some in klings of Anglo-Indian policy or division. Bat some unknown and Aware men were succeeded by men as little known or eminent. Daewoo, there we's none, save what arises from personal Gonna:hut or antipathies. And in vain might his Excellency look in ftdenball-street for any of the symptoms betokening the seat of a great empire. Whether he had more reason to revere the wisdom of Cannon row and the statesmanship . a Sir JOHN ROB HOME. we need not tany to inquire. If Sir Joss was as communicative to the Nepaulese statesman, as he is to his own appointed councillors, truly there is no fear of any considerable abstrao %ion of state secrete. Were it not, indeed for the stalwart vessels behind Blackwell, and the facilities fur drawing and for spending, that our London merchants aced, his Excellency might have come to the conclusion that the report of Eng land's being mistress of the East was but a myth, so little majesty,, or publicity, or external phenomena attend it. We know not whether the Nepaulete attended any review in Hyde Pak. If so, we doubt its having been of that imposing nature ealculicaid to strike an Oriental with an idea of our military power. Ports mouth they may have seen : bat what is a Beet in relation to an inland and mountainous empire? The simplicity of our QuERN's Court, the =jewelled head of even the Lord Ceamberlain, and the petti ness of the Pimlico Palace, may have excited esteem, but certainly not awe. We, there fore, fear much for the effect of the report that General Itaw:i BAHADOOX will no doubt mate to the Court of £atmandoo. It would be still worse if perchance those who communicated with his ex cellency during his visit were more of the calibre of Polonius than of Hamlet. _ _ The very act of sending such an embassy, how ever, betokens good feciog. And it is not to be expected that the Sikh refugees come' pro vided with any overpowering mass of persua sive arguments to induce the Nepaulese to dis turb peace. French and Rusaians: are by this time conviuced how absurd and idle it is to expend cares and sums in establishing an interest antagonistic to England at native courts. Such efforts have merely drawn down the rain of there dynasties and the loss of the country's independence. It is only in the case of renewed war between Great Bntain and China that intrigues might be set on foot to raise a warlike enemy on the north eastern frontier of India. The present Emperor of Clinea seems, how ever, lea likely than his predecessor to give cause of quarrel. Thus notwithstanding the flight of the Sikh', we see little ctlence of the peace of the Eget being again for a long time distrubed. Lord DALuousie seems to be of this opinion ; the only other incident of the present mail being the 130VitRNOLGENZIAL'S reprimand of, and quarrel with, his fighting man. Sir QUILL'S NAPIER, it seems, went to the length of disbanding a regiment, which, he thought, required it—a dictatorial act, which the Gonssoa-Oziatia. did not think should be proceeded to without consulting him. Sir Cuaaus has no idea of deferring to the toga in military matters. To rebel against civilian superiority and flout it, seems his favourite position. As this mode of viewing things is at present very popular and uni versal throughout Europe, the more we discourage it amongst ourselves and our dependencies, perhaps the better. Ir princely candidates for its crown would but let France alone, that country would be quiet enough. And aim upper claws would cease to intrigue and to con spire, each for the rigieres that would suit its peculiar Merest', the lower den on its side would keep quiet too, and cease to raise the standard of racialism in op position to that of aristocracy and priestcraft. In a word, there is but one thing requisite for the pesos, prosperity, and the power of France, and that is a universal acceptance of a state of things which the chain of events and the current of circumstances have forced upon it. We are by no means blind to the inconvenience of a republic, or to the advantage of having a solid and immovable foundation on which to erect the revolv ing or fluctuating machinery of popular government. Bat in a country where nothing is certain or fined, and where all is, late the ocean, ever in movement, ebb and flow, and when it is infinitely safer to sail than to aaehor, it is madness for certain parties to seek to rebuild a monarchic structure. A triennial Nadia& tore and election to the highsst oaks is fraught with inconvenience and agitation, but an eternal conspiracy against a sovereign who, whatever be his eking or race, can never command the allegiance of even one half cf the cannery, is worse than even a presidential election every year. It singularly complicates the straggle between the several dynasties and the several shades of republi canism, that not one men of mark or talent appears is the character of cadet. Even without great talents, if there was a personage of good (Aspirate qualities, he might have some chance of success. But that dreary monotony of empty common-place which is stamped on the life, visage, and pretensions of every one of the royalist candidates, sad every one of the republican looters, is such as to preclude all political enthusiasm in favour of any one oe any thing.

Sunni Bemuse Public attention 'Betio. to-day, naturally, upon the President's speech at the Lyons banquet. Nobody can make a distinct profession of any kind out of it. The most importan t paragraph , which seems to wish to disavow the delayn of a eoap-i'etat, is preceded by a passage which derives his right to represent France at least as much from the fon9dation of the empire as from the election of Decemlar. It is followed by another passage, which says that be will put down a legitimist conspiracy by an appeal to the slvereignty of the people. One would fancy that the best and only way for the executive of putting down rebellion would be by employing the public force. Louis- Philippe might as well hive appealed to the people when M. Lnuis Napoleon Bonaparte appeared in arms against the French government at Boulogne and S tru bourg. It the President meanie to appeal to the people fur his re-election, before the article of the constitution interdicting his re-election be repealed, be will be guilty himself of conspiring against the state, and then what becomes of the dis avowal of soups-Xetal. Ho will take the line' of per severance or abnegation, whichever is the people's will. But the question is, what is the legal expres sion of that will? Beyond doubt the vote of the Na tional Assembly. But the speech seems to imply a direct appeal to the people, without heeding the vote of the Nitioeal Assembly. This is scarcely the way to propitiate that body, or to coax it into such a re •i-ion the constitution as would suit the views of Louis Napoleon. The kick at the legitimists will only indispose them ell the mire to vote with the government. On the whole, therefore, there is nothing in this speech which is calculated to please any party. Meanwhile the disavowal, vague as it is, of the vio lent desigr.a cherished by rash adhereLts is tranquil hair g. I send you below a second speech of the President at the dinner given by the Chamber of Commerce on the 16. h, to which much importance is attached. The circumstance of General Marmzra, the Piedmontese Wsr, having come to Lyous to greet Louis Nstolleon on the part of his master, the king, lends much significanoe to the portion of the @preen which dwells upon the duty of supporting the sums of France abroad. I proceed to give you the contents of a private let- i ter, which 1 have just received from Lyons, which takes up the Presient's voyage on the 16th .i Soon I alter rising, Louis Napoleon attended the distribution of prizes at the professior al and practical school founded by M. Martin, and called " L'Eezile !Amer tiniere." Then he visited several silk manufactories filled with workmen. I omit the flourishes about his reception except in the cue of remarkable demonstra tions. At haef-past eleven the President attended a defroster of 1,200 covers, given to him by the com merce of Lyons. In answer to the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he made the following speech : I thank the commerce and iodastry of this city for the congratulations which they offer me, and give my entire sympathy to the wishes which they express. To re-establish order and coon fence, to maintain peace, to terminate our great lines of rsilway as soon as possible, such has been the aim of my efforts. If more fortunate results have not been obtained, the fault, es you are aware, doss not lie with my government; but the wenn the country enters into regular ways the sooner will prosperity revive ; for material in terests thrive e.nly by the development of moral interests. It is the soul which governs the body. The government which based lie whey on avarice, egotism, fear, would make a great error. No; Ms by ranting liberally at home the several branches of the pablic wealth, sad by defending our allies boldly gbroad—it is by carrying high the flag of France, that tce agricultural, commercial, end industrial interests of the country will reap the greatest benefit. For this 'Twos has Arbour for its house, and honour is always the best guard." The President then added, with • voice which betrayed emotion,—Oa the point of bidding you adieu, let me remind you of a celebrated speech—no, I stop ; it would be too mach pride in me to awn, you, as the emperor did, " Men of Lyons, I love 'you," but you will permit me to say, from the bottom of my heart, " Men of Lyons, love me." After the banquet a grand review took place. All the troop. were ranged in the Place Bellevue and along the quays, and formed by this arrangement an immense square. Before they flied off the President bestowed many decoistioes. The cry of " Vive rEmpereur " was observed to proceed from some regiments, bat toned no echo whatever among the population. After the review the President visited La Croix-Rousee. The inhabitants re ceived him with the usual confusion of cries, but an immense compact crowd accompanied the carriage, deafening the perfTwithin with shouts of " Vivi la Itepublique." On his return from La Croix-Rouses toe President visited the improvised exhibition of the Chamber of Commerce, in the pekoe of St. Pierre. He then inaugurated the Crime de Brooms Metairie et de Retraite," an bud- Intim fbr the benefit of distressed and superanuated workpeople, by subseriptions among the working classes; and replied to a speech made by the directors of the establishment. At c e s t a st i be attended a ban quet of twenty-four covers, given in the great ball of the Hotel de Ville, by the her of Commerce, and made a short 'reek which occasioned much sense- I Um. At half-past nine he appeared for some minutes' at the theatre, where there was peat but discordant shouting. At tea he visited the Commercial Club, and at eleven he retired to the prefecture. The next morning, soon after nine, the President took his de tatters from Lisa. fbr Bourg, aescespaaled by Unwed ds Castellano.

The proposition of the Lombardo- Venetian deputies, that the government 'should not issue any paper money in the provinces, has not been accepted, because it would too much shackle the government.

PIEDMONT. TURIN, Avers? 14 The Jesuits, a moment stunned by the energetic measures of the Piedmontese government, are race eeriug from the blow. Their organ, the Arnmnia, has resumed its publication, and foreign diplomacy comes to their aid by demanding the expulsion of the refugees most host le to the clergy. The go vernment has jut signed, at the dictation of the Austrian minister, an order for several of these to quit the Sardinian territory. In the list of proscribed the name of M. Bianchi Giovini, chief editor of the Opinione, deserves particular attention. The excuse for banishing this eminent publicist is the rough hand ling given to Hadetzeky in the columns of his paper, but the real source of his persecution is the untiring sarcasm with which he treats the Jesuits. Elected twice deputy to the chamber, a zealous supporter of monarchical principles, and faithful adherent to the hour: of Savoy, a promoter of the scheme for the aggrandisement of the Ssrdinian stated by the creation of the Subalpine kinAozi, a resolute opponent of Mazzini and the republicans, M. Bianchi tiiovint was one of the most active jour nalists of the party of condtitational liberty, corres ponding to the tiers-path in France. Ho incurred the hatred of the clergy by his keen and cool mockery of superstition, and his constant opposition to the bigotry of the clergy. He is a vict.m of the Jesuit?, who, powerless themselves, draw upon him the perse cution of Austria, and his expulsion will atone to then, for the incarceration of their chief Frac z Meanwhile the Aichbivhop of Turin has found an imitator in SwitzerLod. M. Marilltz, the episcopal conspirator of Frihourg, has ordered his ci,ry to abstain from all relations with the civil piwer, even before the tribune* and authorises them to receive nothing from the state, that is, with the exception of pensions and benefices. l adbootou or mow* la do pro. air s agr ol la e rrolosivritisk rovosita Moto '..r Ifoo roomoobre the too ;go to r aid* By whet limo eof Bottattox, so peotoodor to - -g y th .

PARIS, SATVIDAT ETIINING. I have just received DO of the President's recep tion at Lyons, of his stay and departure. Tim lead ing feature of his visit hes been the speech which he delivered at the banquet of the Hotel de Ville on the 15:6, the official text of which you will find below. His allusion to 1804, the date of the empire, has ' created mach sensation. You will find at the close of my letter, several telegraphic despatches, which tract' his stay up to the latest moment. The King of Sardinia's minister of war, General de la Mariners, same on the 16th to greet him. The President took his departure from Lyons at 9 on the morning of the 17th (teat is to-day) for Lons-le-Saulnier. lie was aroompthied by General de Castelline, who would go with him as far as &waren. The Councils- General are to be urged to express spontaneously wishes for the revision of the coistitn tin. If a sufficient majority of them express this wish, the subject will be brought forward by the government and the majority of the Assembly con jowly next session: and the article interdicting Louis Napoleon's re-elec. ion will, if he behave pru dently in the meantime, be in all probability abro gated. But in all cases be will appeal to the muffreges of the people for a renewal of his lease of power. Ihe members of the committee of permanence are highly irritated with his amumpuon of the imperial tone. Having disengaged himself from the hospitable cares of Madam e Leroy, who did the honours of the prefecture at Miloon, the President embarked once more, between five and six is the morning, on board the Hiroadelle. He got out at Trevoux to receive the usual compliments of the authorities. Some little girls came to offer nosegays, one of whom lisped a little speech of welcome, after which, the President took her up in his arose and kissed her. The steamer con tinued her voyage to Lyons, pulsing various towns to right and left, from which the usual hubbub of con flicting cries arose, until she entered at nice the second capital of France. Toe pennon of fort Loyasse began forthwith thundering the official salvoes. 'free prefect of the Rhone, the mayor of Lyons, and the commander of the 6th and 6th mili tary divisions, General de Castellane, received the President upon the quay. When he lauded he was greeted by a stunning shout of " Vivo la Repub. lige, ! " from mumbled thousands. Vive le Presi dent!" was also heard, bat "Vive Napoleon!" and "Vive l'Empereur !" were comtle.ely drowned in the larger and louder cries. The President went to the cathedral, where he heard mats (it was the _great fete of the Assumption, and th e say chosen by Nape- leon to honour his own patron Saint.) Then he fey paired to the Prefecture where he received the civil eel military authorities, and reviewed in the court the old soldiers of the imperial army, who had been gathered fres all aides together for that purpose. The Presidest having bestowed numerous decorations, was on the point of retiring to repose himself, when a dipole ties of inhabitants from Le Guillotiere, said by wol sesservative correspondent to amount to three flaw. Ned, presented themselves to protest against the db. feilestfal resolution of the majority of their sipsloonncil, who refused to visit the President. The ant morning (18th) Louis Napoleon visited the 'lmelda. He showed himself to the crowd from ' the Woos, of the archbishop's palace, and passed Ltu/h the city amid conflicting demonstrations. Al oloek the crowd became so dense that the car- I riage could scarcely advance even at a walk. The President was obliged (by what reasons is not stated) to give up the design of entering the Hotel de Ville, where a banquet we. awaiting his presence, by the principal door, but succeeded in effecting his ent rance pby the barred gate on the side of the theatre. Th e resident delivered the following speech in reply to the mayor : Let the dry of Lyons, of whisk yea are the worthy la- Impulse, realm the damn expromeleu of my gratitude foe Ms wympadtetie reeeption it has alma me.

GERMANY. PRUSSIA. Letters fr.sat BerlinofAugust 14 . say :, It was known early this morning that Austria would probably give way in the affair of the %Wish troops and accept the Prussian proposition of a twin of arbitration. The Deutsche Refr.r,n confirms this report. The court is to consist of three Austrians, three Prussians, and an umpire, and its first task will probably be the interpretation of the fedi ral fortress iegniatione. Prussia proposed in one of her notes to maintain the present Bundes commission as an administrative body should Austria persist in dia -1 ceasing German effete s ith her allies in a Diet. Austria is proceeding very slowly Lit has been three minths resolving upon the restricted Diet. The ministerial crisis still keeps attention alive here. The liteg has addressed a note to 31. Mannteuffel, the purport of which is that the Union must on no conditions be surrendered. In higher circles the abandonment of the union is regardea as a sign of subjection to Austria, such as must on no account be exhibited. Even the party of the extreme right is greatly influenced by this appeal to the national honour. At present there is not the least indication of a treaty with Belgium. We learn from a telegraphic, despatch, dated Berlin, the 17th inst, in the (Moyne Gaeta, that the Aus trian invitation for another diet (Bundestag) reached Berlin on that day, and that Prussia is resolved to decline accepting any proposal in this or a similar sense. Another telegraphic despatch of the 16:h inst. mays: The semi-official journals confirm the statement made that Austria proposes a tribunal of empires to decide upon the interpretation to be given to the rules regu lating the federal fortresses. Austria names Bavaria its its umpire; Praia will choose another, and the two umpires will take a third with them. Austria farther proposes, he the administration of federal property, a commission, to b• chosen by the two parties. It is stated in the semi-official journals that the commissioners on the part of Austria and her al lies would be chosen by the restricted dirt. From Frankfort we reedit, the text of the note sent on the 6th inst. by M. von Bohleinits to Vienna. The note does, as we stated, protest energetically against the formation of the restricted diet at Frank fort, and proposes, me a concession, to keep on the interim Brindseerfauslasion until such time as the great question now in abeyance *ball have been settled.
