The aggregate amount of the deposits ffieallowed is considerable, but the e .ct sant was not up to this afternome es:ertained.

LEEDS AND THIES& A special meeting of the shareholders in this com pany was held at the Leeds Court House yesterday (Monday) at noon, for the following purples ; to consider Lord Gras- Mlle's audit bill, en act to provide for the audit of the so counts of railway companies ,• Lord Stanley's audit of rail- way accounts bill Mr. Ricardo's bill f or the b etter regula tion of railway trails; sad for the further purpose of passing resolution* authorising the directors to exercise the borrow ing powers in the company's extension acts of 1846. The meeting was but thinly attended. The CHAIRMAN (Henry Cowper Marshall, Esq.), hay ing briefly stated the objects of the meeting, laid, as to the audit bills, it was not felt to be the duty of the directors to , take any action in reference to them ; and therefore he should, first of all, move a resolution authorising the dire*. tors to borrow money under their branch aces and then proceed to the consideration of Mr. Ricardo's bill, in which this company was interested. He moved that the meeting authorise the directors to borrow the sums of 26,6661. and si 61,0001., under the powers of the Leeds Central Station and Melmerley and Northallerton Branch Acts of the company. W. W. BROWN, Eeq., seconded the motion. Mr. FARSYDR, barruiter.at-law, suggested that they ea= of 1::: some company, befo re information Ni hon as e ked the lt,suttlxiefintoartleetal them money. He was not much of en secountan., but, according to the printed acconats, it appeared to bins that the amount of money borrowed, and the preference shars absorbed, in interest and dividend, 32,0001. a year, whilst their present income upon 39 miles of railway was only 7000. • week, or 40.0001. a year at meet, so that , atter pay men t o f interest and dividend they had only 8,0001. • y ear l e f t f or working expenses, which he contended was wholly lead.- gusto. If be was wrong he should be glad to beset right, his only wish being that the oemparty should stand fair with the public. The CHAIRMAN said he was not prepared with the mi. rousts, and therefor* he could net go late the financial con cerns of the company; but to put Mr. Fersyde right, he might state that the powers row asked would not be put into operation for some time, and when they had opened their line through to Hartlepool the traffic might be very different in amount to what it was now. The meeting had been called in com phenol' with the wishes of sbareholden present et the last half-yearly meeting, and the resolution he had propreed was brought forward now in order to save the shareholders the troubl- of having to meet again on another day. A short discussion followed, after which the resolution was put and carried nem con. Mr. Eddieon, the solicitor, next read the mar,final notes of Mr. Ricardo's bill, which is introduced into parliament with• view of compelling companies whose lines meet at any par ticular juactioo, to make arrangements fur the public conve nience, and by it penalties are to be levied agai ns t su ch c tmpanies as book parties by a circuitous route to any given place, in order to k-ep tie traffic on their own lines. The CHAIRMAN and several of the S sarebolders said this bia would be of great advantage to this company, as they bad cap rienced the greatest obstructions at the june tion of the 'think line with that of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick. In fact the latter company had refused to enter into any fair and honourable arrangement for the exchange of traffic which legitimately belonged to each; and particularly in the conveyance of cattle, coming from the north to Leeds: they had dine all they could to prevent Pi transmission on the Leeds and Think Line. Ultimately, • resolution was passed unanimously, audio- rising the company's seal to be &theca to • peti ion to parlia ment in favour of the bill. -- The CHAIRMAN next brought under consideration the audit bills now before parliament, that in:roduced by Lord Granville being, as to sail, a measure supported by govern ment, with the obj ct of establishing an audit board inde pendent of the railway companies; and that iutroduced by Stanley being for the puriose of giving power to share holders to appoint auditors independent of all control by the directors. This bill was considerel as embodying the views of a large body of sharehalders, who had appointed a com mittee to draw it up ; and besides provisions for auditing railway accounts, it also contained provisions giving larger piwers to shareholders is the election of directors and other matters connected with the general management of railways. On the motion of Mr. FAIWYDR, sec Aided by Mr. DUR HAM, draper, of Ripon, it was resolved to petition paths mint in fevour of Lord Stanley's bill. Mr. FARSYDE strongly condemned Lard Granville's bill, as being based on that principle of centralisation which had been introduced into otter matters in this country, and which was advocated on the assumption that government were better able to manage the affairs of individuals than those individuals who were interested in those &Giro could do fir themselves. A vote of thanks was then given to the chairman, and the meeting stparated. THE NHDLkSD. Yesterday, a meeting of the holders of 50/. Midland Shores was held in the C e larenden Boom., Liverpool, to re ceive a deputation from Glasgow, who (it was announced) had to communicate information of interest. Reporters were excluded, but the following resolution was said to have been pas , ed:—. That it be recommended to the Glas gow gentlemen to put themselves into communication with Mr. A. H. Wylie (as he entertained similar opinions to their own), and adopt along with him necessary measures to restrain the directors from making any further calls on the 501 shares. VESTRY MEETING OF Sr. LUKE'S.—TRE Pao. POSED PAUL FOR THE BOROUGH OF FINSBFRY.—This day • meeting of the above garish took place in the vestry room to determine whether any, and what, assistance should be given in favour of a new park at Islington. Mr. Church warden King took the chair ; and, at his request, Mr. Lloyd, the projector of the pork, gave a statt men: of its locality and probable cost. lie said the area would cover 500 accts of ground, including ::00 acres covered by the vain on High bury grove, Vale, &c. The cost would be about 150,000 i. to 200,0001., and that the project had already received the countenance of hie Royal Highness Prince Albert, Lord Robert Orc , venor, Lord Ashley, Lord Carlisle, and other eminent personages. Mr. Tyler, the chairman of the it:ington committee, said that they bad refrained from drawing up • petition until they could take the sense and obtain the co operation of the whole 15 parisher of the borough, he urged active measures in favour of the pro posed park, as he said the present open space, unless at once secured, would be covered with buildings in less than twelve months. O:her members having discussed the question, • resolution approving of the proposed park was unanimously carried, and • public meeting of the borough was determined to be held forthwith. Thanks were voted to the Islington deputation for their attendance, and the meeting broke up. SECULAR EDUCATION,—The congregation of Hope. street Church, Liverpool, have sent up the following petition to the House of Commons in favour of secular education :—First. That in the opinion of your petitioners the growth et' population in this country has outstripped the resources of priests education, and rendered necessary • public provision to supply the defects and fill up the inter stices of the existing system.—Secondly. That in order to avoid reasonable objection, and to rest upon a just and per manent basis, a system of public schools should comply with the following conditions: 1. It should not Interfere with or discourage the schools already in operation, but rather seek to secure the completeness and efficiency of their secular instruction.-2nd. It should be freely open to ell, nadir suitable regulations, and should adopt no test or method of teaching which favours the special tenets of any sect or denomination.-3rd. It should he suorted by local rates, and managed by local bonds , elected pp by the ratepayers spe cially for that purpose ; with provision, however, for such general inspection and control as may obviate local defects, and tortoise and circulate a spirit of improvement.—Thirdly.
