The association had during the past year effectually employed the powers entrusted by the members in opposing the discharge of reckless sad dis honest insolvents, and in aiding in the prosthetics of swindlers whose career of iniquity sod fraud required to be restrained for the public good.

The report, which has already appeared in the Express, is submitted. _ _ The Cuallsniar, is movies the adoption of the report, said he thnght it wee • fair subject of congratulation that in this--the second half year of the joint working of the E - ..etern Counties, Newmarket, and Eastern Union Rail ways—the directors were enabled to present to the sharp holden • balance-snot whin showed en increase of re venuei es compared wit\ She p re vious half-year, of 77,532 1. . by aninereaselonsaills“ el 8,7721. ; sad this, with ea increase of dividend film ilk Id. per share Se 71. (Heat, hear.) It would be nee neeßeetion of dm shareholdees that for the last 101 l prim ending Demean, 185 k the directors were ambled tetiellare a 7s. dividend; a = si lliln pal log it with this halting/AM direness sees to declare the same dividend, us aseligoger Sere thee they wen enabled to ill et the period of last year. Looking at the higher rate whin com pany had been paying for labour, and also feu meterialo, he did not think that this was a vary ansatiolaseery result ; but, on the contrary, he was of e=tket is the mums which the directors had taken is then three com panies into united action. they NM new ezposigneing the first fruits of that policy, and that smataally, io three or four years, the proprietors would And • most marked progress under that working agreement. (Hear, bur.) The directors, after paying 7e. per share, carried over the sum of 11,6424 He was aware that there were some parties who bad stated that the cora paay ought to have paid Ts. 6d. per share, and have carried over 4,0001. That was a question which was discussed at the board of directors, but they felt that, looking to the report which had been presented by their engineer, Mr. , Bruff, that the soundest, and therefore the wisest, polity ' was to pay 7s. per share and to carry over a larger amount to the reserve fund the y had hitherto been the practice of the company. There was, as ke had said, a difference of opinion upon that subje ct; but eventually, after • lona discussios, the best muse, in his opiates, _ was adopted—that of having the smeller dividend of 7s. carrying over a lama sem to the reserve fund. He (the chairman) they/hi the present weald be the most otinveaient opportunity to allude to that paragraph in the report which related to the essemion from the etimpasyl of Mr. Ashaoft, their late englaser. Ile woe well swam that there was a difference in the penis mind wpm the propriety of maims any statement; but, after a easeful consideration, consideration, he felt that it was the duty of himself end his colleague to put the proprietors in possession of that infer nation with which the directors were acquainted— ee , INS that the engineer who had been recently ippon after inspecting the line of railway, had repo that there were parts of it which required men labour and material. The directors thought it mash better that the shareholders should be made acquainted with the fact, and that the directors should offer NOS explanations on the subject rather than that interested par ties should say that deteriorations upon the line had takenl place and that the directors had taken no notice of them. He was aware that Mr. Ashcroft denied that each ade terioration had taken plate, and it was but proper for him to state that Mr-Ashcroft had addressed to him a letter in reference to the permanent way. He stated that no part oil , the permanent way of the Eastern Counties Railway had, from motives of economy or any other cause, been left in a defective state. He thought it due both to Mr. Ashcreft and to the directors that such a statement should be laid Wan these, skint* the directors felt themselves bormadle Mk Inds drehisa of their preeent dicer, and ' to give Wm authority to remedy the *WIG complained of. ' There was a pegegreph in the report alluding to a rumour which had gibed ground, propagated by persons who wished the shareholders to take • gloomy view of their , &Bain; but Mt. Berkeley had submitted • report, with whin the director. had every reason to be satisfied. ' Bung that the locomotive stook had had so net an amen of tonnage to move, great credit was due to the Immestive superintendent, Mr. Gooch, for not withelenging the greatly increased nano the plant had bees emeiderahly improved. There was another ' question whin was met adverted to in the report, but'whilla was alluded Meg the nit half-yearly mooting, namely, the ' benefit whisk as Manny derived from working the Ta bery line. Re See Ashman) stated on that occasion to the gentlemen whe asked a question that thins persons were mistaken who supposed that the company were working that lime Males& Allowing live per mut. on the capital, and the seed depreciation, he found that 1,3811. was the balsam at pewit on supplying the locomotive stock, m zread for that line. But if the were me re .. A i d had bout a trifling lose, he esataded that it wail be cagy desirable that the Eastern Cowin Company eland be the contractors for wishing that lam Sem attacks had been made by ano nymous egenepeadents is the newspapers as to the manner in wink the sad traffic had been worked. He found that in 1849 the receipts for coal trans amounted to 17,6641., in 1860 to 21,2491. in 1861 to 22,4881., in 1862 to 32,0231., in 1863 to 43,7181., and in 1866 to 80,6811. (Cheers.) That was the gross sum, but allowing interest, depreciation of the permanent way, and the cost of plant, it could be shown that the coal trallo was worked at 30 per cent. upon its earnings. It had been with the directors a matter of great consideration how that traffic was to be directed. The pre test °entracte would expire in 1866, and it would then be for the company to consider whether they would be their own noel merchants like the Great Northern Company, or whether they would renew the contracts now in force. Allusion was made in the report to the Suffolk lines of railway, and he felt it to be his duty to state that with reference to those brush lines the great element of their prosperity awarding by the experience which they had had of the Newmarket god Cambridge and Bury lines, in their original cost. The Suf folk line would cost at the rate of 10,0001. per mile, but it was an in • 'anciently advanced state, In reference to its negotiations, to enable the directors to lay before the pre ;inane any detailed statements. Bat he might say, In re. Stenos to the experience they had had of the Newmarket, Cambridge, and Bury line of railway, that taking the work, ing of the undertaking as hitherto shown, it was a wise, prudent, and politic course. It would be in the retentio ns% of many of the proprietors that in the early part of 1851 the company entered into an arrangement for working the Newmarket and Chesterfield Railway. That ar rangement had also bees of a perfectly satisfac tory character. The line to Harwich having been so recently opened, no time had been allowed the directors to form an e.timate of what might be the ue derivable from that source, nor did he think it likely that for some time the directors would be able to give the proprietors the benefit of that branch. It was well known to parties having experience in railway management that there is no portion of aline more difficult to develop than that of a sea port town, as an illustration of which he might mention Yarmouth. In 1860 the traffic from Yarmouth yielded 28,3101. ; in 1861, 33,2901.; in 1852, 39,4161. ; in 1963, 49,0641.; and, in 1854, 66,8701. That was a pretty strong evidence of the time that was required to develop the resources of • port. The traffic into Har wich was rapidly increasing, and the expectations of the directors could no doubt be ultimately realised. There could be no doubt that the railway system was at present suffering from the war in which we were engaged, more particularly in the manufacturing districts. As the Eastern Counties line, and those connected with it, ran through an agricultural country, he did not anticipate that it would be so seriously affected by the war as some other railways. It had been said by the chairman of the Blanchester Chamber of Commerce that Infested too much attention was given to manufactures, and too little to agricultural affairs. But that was not the cue with the districts with which the proprietors then present were more immediately connected; for, from the Earl of Leicester, so well knows as Mr. Coke, to Mr. Muhl, well-directed enter prise, skill, and capital had been applied to the districts, whisk were now producing results of which hominid not give nonsense a better sample than a report in the Mark-lane liraprost. It appeared that during the last week there were envied over the Eastern Counties Railway 4,644 quarters of wheat, 2,024 quarters of _barley, 7,638 quarters of malt, 4,507 quarters of oats, an Lk= sacks of flour. Now that dhe various lines wen placed under one management, be thought they would produce, If lestend and diligently attested to, the most benentel nents; and the directors el themselves to do User Mee se big as they had the t..‘ meet w s pers*. et the degehelders. The thee, believed, wadi soma moons when the Eastern Omaties liselway must take its stand as ones& to none in the Monism. (Cheers.) Mr. lICHARD Perissou, the deputy-chasms, seconded tie eispeles of the report. Dr. JOIN RIILLY, of Ware, said that in previous hale years the chairman had stated that, with the proposed amal gamation, and with a prosperous harvest, the shareholders would have larger dividends, but such had unfortunately not turned out to be the case. He thought the capital account ought to be dosed, for there would be no security for' the shareholders until the hands of the directors were tied, and they had no further opportunity of fingering the money. He would add that he considered the directors and some of the officers were paid far too highly for their services. He should move, as an amendment to the report, that the balanced 11,642!. should be applied to the payment of the nano tax on the dividend. Dr. num. Ratans, of Hertford, seconded the amend meat. Mr. Box thought the dividend this half year should have been at least 7r 6d and thetas future oftenons **divides* should be boo fro m Moodie tax. In answer to a question, The Cinuasur said that the 11,6421. was • ha s ilia and substantial balance. Mr. Norma inquired whether there were any outatand lig_ claims against the balsas" in hand. The CHAIRMAN replied that the directors had is band, 5,6001. over and above the Misses to meet claims sad say other contiageseies that might arise. The CHAIRMAN put the amendment to the meeting, sad it wee missed, only three or four hands being held up in its favour.

OLD COURT. -FEB. 27. 11171113 INS MICO/LDIA. Alexander ilorlduld,l9,pleade el guilty to 'things of perjury and uttering an acceptance co a bill of exchange for 3001, with Intent to defraud. Mr. Clarkson, who with Mr. Orifiltha appeared for the prisoner, addressed the court in mitigation of punishment, sad having sailed the *naafi:a of the learned judge to his youth, he said that the prisoner had unhappily become con nected with some improper female acquaintances, and through their instrumentality he had been Indorsed to forge the atosptacee of a gentleman in whose service he was as clerk. It happened singularly enough that in the hurry of business the bill was received as a genuine instrument, and the clerk to the prosecutors unfortunately gave a 6001. note for if by mistake. This note was changed at the Bank of England, and the greater portion of the amount bad been traced to the prisoner through the instrumenta lity of the persons to whom he had referred, and • very large portion had been recovered. In point of fact only about 1181. was missing, and this sum it appeared had been expended in articles of personal ornament for the pri soner and his iemale acquaintance. Under all the einem. statuses he said he trusted the court would feel justified in passing a merciful sentence upon the prisoner, who up to the time of this occurrence bore an unblemished character. Mr. Bodkhs, who appeared for the prosecution, said he was instructed to admit that the greater portion of the money that was the produce of the forgery had been 1414)0 mood. He believed also there was no doubt that the pri soner had imprudently made some bed connexions, and that that had led to his being placed in his present position. The prosecutors, Meters. Smith, Payne, and Co., the hankers, were desirous that these facts should have their full effect with the court, and they had no desire to press the sue with any harshness against the prisoner. The Recorder said he would leek over the depositions, and consider what sentence should be pronounced. George Adana, 26, was convicted of a street robbery, accompanied with violence. The Recorder said that cases of this description were of such frequent occurrence that the court was determined by severe punishment to endeavour to put a stop to them, and he sentenced the prisoner to be kept in penal servitude for six years.

TITDIOII AT I= PLR., DI CNOF iIIeTICS 3111 YID ♦ COMMON J CIL BATISON O. BACON.-TRI COST 3001 rimiCieLx. This was ea action by a gentleman who resides at Liver pool, to recover 26W., which he had paid upon one hundred shares in the Taliesin Mining Company, and the ground of the plaintul's claim was. that the undertaking hed proved abortive, end that there had been a failure of consideration. Mr. Phinn sad Mr. Lush appeared fer the plaintiff, and Mr. &edema Byles for the defendant. Mr. Phinn said thevrospectus stated that there was to be a capital of 60,000/. in 10,000 shares, and that 26,000/. should be paidup ; but in fast only between 1,100 and 1,200 share. had been allotted, of which GOO bad been taken by Mr. Morgan, who was to be the managing director. The Chief Justice suggested that the matter would ulti mately turn out to be one for the consideration of the court. Mr. Berjeant Byles said his lordship was probably not aware of the recent discussion in the Court of Ezebequer as to whether the rule about failure cf consideration was appli cable to poet-book mines. Mr. Phinn—This mite was in Cardigasskire and there would be a question whether the cost-book p rinciple ex tended to Wales, or wig only a local custom. Mr. Berjeant Bytes thought he should be prepared to point out the greatest possible difference between • feint-stook oonsry and a cost-book mine. T Chief Justices—Not at an ; unless he could prove a custom that people who worked on the cost-book principle might say one thing and mean another. He believed it a Olaf proposition of law, that if he contracted to take shares is a mine of 20,000 shares, and there should turn out to be only 2,000 shares, he was not boend by his contract, whether the principle were the cost- book or any other book, that was the rale according to the law books. If that was the only point, he should decide it as he had intimated ; he did not owe how it had been held elsewhere ; he had no doubt about it. _ . . After sone damnation it was agreed that there should be a verdict for the plaintiff for 2501., subject to the opinion of the court upon a special cue. In the use of Jones a. Boson, a verdict was taken for 7801. uj♦on the same terms. COURT OF SAWS ARDPYOMAL :mom— .10101 RT OF TER SIGNATURE TO • OVID. This was an action dlnet.d by Vistrehaneellos Wood, by whieb it was sought to :weer the ram of 1,600 L, said to be owing by the defendant upon two mortgage deed., the signature to which instruments the defendant denied to lbe hen. Mr. Collier and Mr. Cleasby appeared for the plaint'ff; and litr Frederick Thesiger and Mr. Pigpen represented the defendant It appeared that the plaintiff is trustee and., a marline settlement, and had in the year 1847 mad* advances to a Mr. Frederick Bimodal. of two sums, namely, one of 1,1001. and ens of 5001., upon the security of the two mortgage deeds in question, which purported to have been executed by the present defendant, Mrs. Charlotte Biracial., and her son Frederick. By these deeds Mrs. Bimodale charged her life interest 1a certain estates, and her son his reversionary interest in the same, with the payment of 1,1001. and 500/., with interest at the octal rate of 5 per cent. In answer to the demand Mrs Dimsdale pleaded that her imputed sipa'uree to the deeds were forgeries, and *lathe said forgeries had been committed by her son Frederick. It further appeared that Mrs. Dimsdals wee the widow of a banker at Barnet, who died some time sine., leaving that lady and his eldest son executrix and executor and trustees under his will, by which will he left a life interest in certain property to his widow and reversionary interests to his four sons. The son Frederick was in early life articled to the well-known firm of Borrodaile and Co., in London, and apse his elerkship expiring in the year 1847, it was intimatd that he was en gaged to the sister of a friend of the name of Manning, wi o had been articled to his own father, a gentleman of high respectability, and by whom the Ell was sub sequently taken into partnership. Thie union leek place, Mrs. Dimsdale giving her went. About this time Fred*. rick, who had led an extravagant life, informed his mother that Mr. Borrodaile bad consented to take him into part nership. At this news Mrs. Bimodal" ins naturally much delighted, but asked her son where the money was to come from which doubtless Mr. Borrodaile would require. The sou, however, did not give any reply to this question other than by assuring her that she would have no occasion to troable herself upon the subject, because be had a friend who would advance him any amount. Accordingly, the mar-' nage having taken place, and the partnership entered into, all matters, for some years, went on prosperously to all out ward appearance. Suddenly, however, it wu found that the son Frederick was deeply involved, whereupon he absconded. A fiat in bankruptcy was then taken out against him, and ultimately a writ of outlawry was issued. These events na turally pressed very heavily upon the mother's mind, and her distress was shortly afterwards enhanced by the recep tion of a notice from a Mr. Hensman, to the effect that he was about to sell her house under the previsions of a mort gage deed, enuring the payment of 5001. in default of the payment of interest. Mrs. Dimsdale instantly denied all knowledge of the deed, but one of her sena, Thomas, fancying that his mother might have been persuaded by hie brother Frederick to execute the deed, for the signature was the exact similitude of his mother's, urged her to recognise the deed with the view of avoiding the exposure of his brother's conduct. Under this advica Mrs. Bimodale coneente4 to join her son Thomas fa a deed wherein it was recited that "they had rapnested her execution of the mortgage deed under nieNSISII*II which was now removed, and that they acknowledged the deed to be genuine." They then undertook to iesfs egte the prin cipal and interest, and thus at this sacrifice Mfr. Dimadale's house was preserved to her, and it was hoped that no other claim would be mode 1 upon her. By this course her son's character was also preserved. Shortly after the present plaintiff made his demands, but Mrs. Dimas!" at once repudiated the deeds. Nevertheless her son Thomas en deavoured to make a similar arrangement in this case as in the former. It quickly, however, became apparent that publicity with regard to Frederick could not be avoided, and the consequence was that Mrs. Dintutlale, in her 74th year, I had become involved in a Chancery suit, and an action at law, wherein, as her defence, she was compelled to wean her ton of having forged her name. Beldence in support of the claim having been riven, Mrs. Charlothaliondale was herself examined, when she distinctly swore that she had not only never executed these deeds, but that she had never heard of their existence until after her son's misfortunes. Looking at the signatures themselves, she should have bad • difficulty in denying them, for her son was most happy in imitati ng her hand writing, so much so, that she was unable to toll his forgery from her own signature. Mrs. Dimsdsle then went on to deny that she had signed any deeds for her sou beyond that which, oe the persuasion of her son Thomas, she bad given to Mr. Housman for the 6001. to shield Frederick's actions from icity. Mr Collier having replied, The Lord Chief Baron left the ease to the Jury, observing that, if they believed the evidence of Mrs. Bimodal., it was manifest that her son Frederick had committed an act of the blackest dye, and for which, if proved, he would neces sarily be struc k off the roll of attorneys. The jury retired, and, after an absence of two hours, re turned into court with n verdict for the defendant. GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.

The earlier part of the day wu occupied in tracing the transmission of, and in identifying, certain cheques, signed by Mr. Laurie, and paid at different periods into the Union and British Banks, for 4001. and 3001. reopectively. Mr. G.W. Waltham, a land agent, in Great George-street, in the same house as the offices of Mr. Curnsew, deposed to having re oeived a cheque for 4001. on the 21st of August from Curn sew, or Vivian his clerk.
