She had two masts, hoisted a bright light somewhere is her fore rigging. He observed the light from time to time up to half-past 11, when he quitted the pier. The light was then horning, and as he left he saw a steamer (the Vivid) leaving the harbour. The coroner, in summing up, said the jury would lay whether the misfortune." occurrence resulted from accident, or whether it arose from a want of proper and reasonable 'ears out the part of those who had the charge of the If they should be of the latter opinion, that finding would amount to a charge of criminal neglect, and they would return their verdict accordingly. The court was cleared, and the jury were in consultation for so hour and a half.

SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY.-(TRIS DAT) The 38th half-yearly general meeting of the pro prietors of the above railway was held this afternoon at the Bridge-home Hotel, Lmen-bridge. The meeting wee made special fee the purpose of resolving, under the 'Mho. rity of an est mimed lan melee, that the borrowed monies of the swepaay, or a portion thereof, received by me or bonds, not ezeeeding 2,000,0001., m i g h t b e eonverte n r WA. Mr. BM), the deputpebeirtnu, presided; and before the pro , eedisp were opened, be announced that Mr. Mob, M.P., bad resigned the °Mee of chairman, in consequence of blimp compelled to go abroad; but be had not cored to be a director. - -- - ----- The report, •high has already been published, was taken a read. The Cli•tlittAN, hi movies the adoption of the report, wide a very brief speech. He said the railway was in • very satisfa7tory condition. Its Male was increasing, while the cost of aumagement had been judiciouly reduced. The state of the meounts, therefor*, was most sacounitioir and would 'sable the director. to divide 3s. ed. per share. or 21. 181.6 d. per cent. per sauna. The receipts this half. yes,. eseeeded those of the eerrespondion half of last year, by 9,6091, sad, sines the directors sontemplatod no further estensicns, he thought toe gaped of affairs was most pro mising. Mr. TittLow seconded the motion for the adoption of the report. Mr. BARROW complained of the treatment which railways, and particularly the South-Eastern, had invariably met with at the hands of the legislators. So loop as Parliament treated railways in • hostile spirit they never could be pro. Stable._ — idr.llAgna said—To hie mind the working of the line during the paq half-year, was saytbiag bet satisfactory. The new dination had made large promime of economy, but thou, promises they bail yet to fulfil. Mr. 8.111117 DA found fault with the high charges for work ing e:wasaa, which were equal to 48 per cent of the receipts. mi. H remarked that the local, poor, and other vas, were excessively high; be was told la some parishes the railway paid nearly all the taxes of the parish. That wee an abase which the legislature ought to look to. Mr. Burrs poin , ed out the falling , off which bad taken , leas in the Greenwich traffic, and complained that the charge of the half year for advertising was extravagantly high. The CHAIRMAN. replying to these and other °beer's tiont, said the falling off is the Greenwich line was occa. sinned by the North Heat line diverting the traffic to Blackheath. With regard to the charge for advertising, that was occasioned by the excarCon traffic, and the directors were considering whether, considering heavy cost, it would be worth while to keep it up. The excess in the working *species was attri hatable to the fact that they bad many unprofitable branches. Fur laments, the loss of the last halt-rear on the Guildford, Reading, and Reloate line was 16,000 L, on the Whitstable 3,0001., and 34,000 on the Ashford and Hastings. The report was then adopted, after which the dividend was declared payable on the 3rd of September (Monday neat). The warrants to be sent out on Saturday, the 14. Mr. ALEXANDER Her, of Manchester, was then ottani loosely recommended to the directors to fill up the vacancy at the Board.

SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the company's ffice• Plymouth, on Tuesday, when T. Woeloorobe, EN. presided. Sir A. Buller It. Cole, D. Derry, J. W. Buller, Hips.. and Dr. Miller, directors; and M . J. H. Oil, W. W. Fos M. 8. Gripe, C. C. White ford, It. W. St ,W. E. lieudle, W. Read, and other shareholders were present. The repute of the directors and the engineer, Mr. Brunel, having been read, The CHAIM/11AX said the company bad, in common with other commercial establishments of the country, felt the effects of the war, in a compatative diminution of its trade; but they bad not suffered beyond a temporary stoppaae of progressive improvement. An evidence of this was that the directors proposed the same dividend as was paid last year. The company had great expenses thrown on it by the new 'reser menu of the Poet-office for the transmis don of mails, which necessitated au extra train, bat did not produce additionisl traffic. The repairs of the sea-wall at Teignmento were also expensive but necessary. Ten. due had been accepted for the commencement of the Sutton Harbour line ; the works would be pushed on cape ditiously, but at one part of them it would be newsier, to close the line against traffic for a short time. Since the last meeting, the Currie& company had been able to raise 275,0001 on debentures—and this success precluded the probability of the associated companies having to purchase the Cornish tins—a stipulation contineent en the Cornish company not being able to rail* sufficient funds. The chairmen held out prospects of increased profitable traffic flowing over the South Devon line when the Cornish line should be completed, as it wee expected to be in two years from this time. New arrangements for the working of the Tavistock lice and the Eamouth line, by the Booth Devon Company, were stated by the chairman, who added that resolutions on the subject would he submitted to the share holders at a future meeting. In conclusion, he said the directors would ask the shareholders to renew for twelve months the authority which had been given, for a term, to the directors, to dispose of 4,162 unissued new shares. He mewed the adoption of the report. Sir A ButLnit seconded the motion. A dividend of 54. 61. per share for the hilt-year was then declared, and the authority asked for by the directors, to lame the remaining new stock, was granted. Thanks acre voted to the airectors, and the meeting separated. DUBLIN AND DROGHSDA RAILWAY.
