The Directors give notice that, in consequence of the great and undiminished demandfor Steam Vessels upon the Indian rivers, and the wide field prese n ti ng it se lf f or their profitable employment, they have resolved to double the capital of the Company. The Directors have the satisfaction of announcing that the steamers and barges, consisting of twelve vessels in all, which they forwarded from this country in August last, have now • India, and will commence f plyinp- upon the arrived safely in ' rivers without delay. An „coal number of d vessels of still greater power is at present in preparation, and will be sent out as soon as possible. Before embarking in the present undertaking the Directors had not only satisfied themselves of its eminently profitable nature, but they had secured for it the marked co-operation of the Indian Government, by the acquisition of a subsidy; and the Government, both by the gift of land for stations, workshops, and depots, of wood for fuel, and in every other i wa,Y, has rendered every possible aid to the present under "aKing. At the same time the Directors have insured com plete exemption from Government control and interference; and this is the only Company so distinguished which pos sesses any Government support. ti le The Directors h ave th e sat i sfact i on of f i nd i ng that not only Reports of the Company's servants in India, but the ;whole concurrent testimony of the advices received from that : cm utrY, through whatever channel, completely confirms the avourable anticipations they long since formed of the profit able character of the present undertaking. It would be ira- Possible, however, within the limits of an advertisement, to ?[,:eapitulate the numerous evidences of this truth which the Directors are constantly receiving ; and they content them selves, therefore, with giving the following quotation from a l leading article in the "Times," which shows that simi i;nformation had been reaching that paper through its "It i no' ',MIMI correspondents. i From the 'Times,' Jan. 29, 1859. r ow s On=y Government but the whole nation that seems — l's. Any da during the last year we might have filled O,uir Any tradeh complaints of shipbuilders at the cline of of their owing in a great measure to the happy rrmination of the' Russian War. But what do we now hear _re to come. about,r"llndia ? They wonder there what our shipbuilders are Month after month they are expecting the steamers that Indian General Steam Navigation Company ftelare this month,' says our correspondent, a dividend bedl and upwards per cent. The Home Government had ouPorequested to send out six river steamers, and it had sent • nI Y one, which, it said, would be enough." Next month,' ntinues our informant, 'the Indian Government had to en- Faje all the freight of six for two trips at a price which would ve new vessels wanted twice over. There is r x rm and work we are told, for 300 steamers on the Ganges it,l lo , flowing, as it does, through a territory with a popula ;,",tiof 350 to the square mile, with an export trade of rwuo,oooo, and an i nternal trade beyond human calc ulation. wit het h this vast opening- before us, there are found men in vaste Prime of lif e , ne i ther schoolboys nor dotards, who can their time in holding meetings and memorialising Go vernment to find them customers for their shipping. Many a,time ere this has war ministered to peace, infusing a quicker element into its idle, dreamy soul. To this Mutiny, perhaps, eil ' i .c'we the real opening of the Indian navigation to British terPrise, and the railways which are certain to follow. But ...113urri sat ; we have said enough to start our shipbuilders 'llO shipowners, if they are Englishmen." haThe Directors have all along felt that neither the vessels ch t they have al rea d y sent to India, nor those which they e a present in preparation, could do much to satisfy the great want of Inland Steam Natig.ation which exists in that nnuntrY. But they have also all along felt that the only safe Vay of entering upon such an undertaking was not to rush .11t Ilual it With sa ngu i ne precipitation, but to advance with gra and cautious steps and without being dazzled the larg'e pro*mect of profits , it holds out. The first steps, by how er, having been succ ess f u ll y taken, the whole of the exist ing Shares in the Company having been allotted, and being at a p rem i um in the market, and the field being so large as to require a large capital to work it in an efficient manner, the Directors are of opinion that the time is come when the capi tal of the Company may be advantageously increased, and they have, therefore, resolved to raise the capital to half a Million sterling without delay. Applications for the new Shares must be forwarded to the Directors, at the offices of the Company, 9, Billiter-st ree t, London, on or before th e 28th day of February next. A deposit of two shillings per Share to be made on appli cation, and the Bankers' receipt for that amount to be for- Warded with the application for Shares. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

STAMPED, SP. did not see much on which ho need comment. He stated in Aiigust last that the competition with the South- Eastern and South-Western Companies had been put an end to. The traffic to points in common had been worked in an amicable spirit, and he had no doubt that by the construction of the junction between the lines at Read ing the identity of interest would be kept up. They were also aware that the competition in the north—a cause of so much• regret to the railway world—had also been put an end to. It must be well known to them that railway companies were liable to abuse for everything that happened -with respect .to their proceedings, but he must say he thought the Great Western Company were entitled to some credit for the course they had taken during that com petition. (Hear, hear.) They had been obliged to lower rates, but throughout the contest they always stated that, as they had been obliged to follow in the lowering of rates, they would be very ready to follow in raising them to re munerative amounts. They had arranged on amicable terms for accession to the London and North-Western station at Manchester—an access which they had long desired to have. It had been impossible for them, being six miles from Man chester, to carry much traffic to that town, but he knew, from the appearance of things, that a share of that im portant traffic would come over the Great Western line. After some further observations, he concluded by moving the adoption of the report and accounts, which was put and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN having moved the declaration of the dividend of 2 per cent. per annum, Mr. TEAKLE moved, as an amendment, that the dividend to be declared be at the rate of 3 per cent, per annum, which would absorb £123,539 2s. 9d and leave a balance of £22,672 lls. The amendment being seconded, Major Coma suggested that the dividend should be at the rate of 21 per cent. per annum. Mr. WITHERS supported the same view. After some further discussion the first amendment was put and negatived. Mr. WITHERS then moved that the dividend be at the rate of 24 per cent. per annum. . The moticn having been seconded, The CHAIRMAN said, though the directors were still in favour of the 2 per cent, dividend, if it was the wish of the proprietors to pay 2k they would not further oppose it. There was no danger in such a course beyond that of re ducing their future dividends. The motion was then put and carried by a large majority. The CHAIRMAN then moved that the report of the special committee of the directors be received and adopted, and that the capital of the Great Western system be fixed at £23,420,000, and of the two Shrewsbury lines at £3,287,300, subject to the conditions and regulations laid down in the special report and in the report of the board. The motion was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the Chairman was then passed by acclamation. The CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging the compliment, stated that so long as he enjoyed the confidence of his brother directors and the proprietors, it would afford him great pleasure to remain at the Board, and use his utmost endeavours to promote the beat interests of the company, The meeting then separated.

LIEUTENANT.COLONFL DICKSON V. THE • EARL OF WILTON-LIBEL. • The trial of this case was resumed at the sitting of the Court to-day, when Col. Dickson's cross-examination was continued by the Attorney-General. Mr. James, counsel for the plaintiff, said he would have no objection to the different vouchers or receipts of the men who got compensation for the injuries they suffered at Ore memo being referred for the examination and report of any gentleman the Attorney-General might name. Lord Campbell said the case was one which ought to be sifted to the very bottom, and ho thought that which Mr. James suggested was the best course to adopt. The Attorney -General said he would name some gentle- Man: Cross-examination continued—l know that Mendham received £lO, and I think, as he was the worst wounded in the regiment, he got £2, £3, or it may be £5 extra compen sation. In. the account rendered by me I charged £l5 paid to that man in four different payments—£2, £3, £5, and £5, but the vouchers are three in number—one for £lO and two for £5. I cannot explain further than that probably one of the £.5 was included in the £lO, and therefore a mere dupli cate. The moneys given to the men were sometimes handed to their wives, sometimes to themselves, and sometimes to their officers. The receipts were mostly drawn by the men themselves, but often by th e i r corpora l s. I h ave myself, when I had £1 or £2 in my pocket, given it to men, and taken no receipt, and I have no doubt I havedisbursed more money than I charged in myaccount. At the end of Feb., 1857, I had between £2OO and £3OO belonging to the regiment in my possession. I did not keep it separately t but kept it with my private money at my bankers' and agents' , and 1 depended on the vouch ers I hail for ascertaining the state of the regimental accounts. In April, 1857, when I was threatened by . Messrs. Hodge.and Lowman with an action, I. gave a promissory note at six months instead of the money, because I did not like to touch Lord Wilton's money, he having' on a former occasion told me not to do so, as he ex pected to get subscriptions to meet Messrs. Sharpus'saccount. I scarcely ever saw a mess meeting in azegunent for exa mining the accounts of the mess. The usage of the service, according to my experience, does not require such a meeting. It is not the custom to have constant mess meetings. Col. North was in correspondence with Lord Wilton as well as myself. Up to the time of the inquiry Col. North was my friend, but through Lord Wilton's influence he held aloof and seemed to take his lordship's side.. I wish to state pub licly that what Col. North stated before the commission of inquiry was entirely untrue. The confusion and irregula rity in the mess accounts were not owing to there having been no mess meetings. Capt. Dickson's accounts, espe cially his wine account, were most irregular. It is the duty of the commanding officer and the president of the mess to see that the accounts are properly kept and discharged. I think I was not applied to to hold a mess meeting. I never refused to call such a meeting. Major Walker was the only officer who suggested that there should be a mess meeting, and I said it would be held after Capt. Dickson's three months had expired. Only one !nem meeting was held, and iat was in January. It is the_duty of the lieutenan, colonel to call mess meetings. I was anxious, and I did call a mess meeting. There was a meeting at Bethnal green to choose the patterns of glass and crockery for the regimental mess. It was not a meeting called for that pur pose, but one to receive Lord Wilton, who had intimated his intention that day to come down and look at the regi ment. There were 25 or 30 officers present, and the full complement of the regiment was only 37. Sharpus's man arrived with patterns either before or at the moment of his lordship's arrival, and I presume, perhaps wrongly, that he had seen Lord Wilton on the subject. We desired to establish a mess the same as the other Tower Hamlets regiment had done whilst in training. Sharpus' man said he had supplied their mess with the articles neces sary. Lord Wilton chose the pattern of plates for the dinner service, and all the other officers deferred to his lordship's selection. I think there was a conditional order given to Sharpus for the goods on that occasion by Lord Wilton, and the goods were sent to Woolwich when the mess was com menced. I had never myself seen Sharpus's mart before that day, and I had never previously any communication with that firm. When the ordinary contributions of the officers and the allowance of the Government are insufficient it is usual for the officers to subscribe the deficiency, and by Lord Wilton's order I applied to them in this instance to do so. There were four entertainments given by the regiment, which cost £152. The first was to General Pierrepoint, when he came to inspect the regiment. I proposed it my self to the officers, and they never dissented. It was an un derstood thing. It cost £3O odd. According to the usage of the service, it was perfectly right to pay this out of the regimental mess funds, and not by the subscriptions of the officers. The next entertainment was on the presentation of colours by the daughter of the Earl of Wilton. There were 80 or 100 guests. It was a luncheon, and cost £69. The officers stood round after parade and discussed the matter. Some of the officers were for having a dance after the ceremexy. It was proper to pay the expense, with the consent of the officers, out of the mess !funds. The third entertainment was given to Colonel North on his retire ment. It was proposed by some of the officers, and I was happy to agree to it. It was decided to give it at the Tra falgar, at Greenwich. There was another entertainment to General Pierrepoint. Did you ever say to any officer of the regiment, "I have a little bird which tells me all that is said in the mess room, and I know a way to get rid of officers without a court martial ? " Witness--No ; but there were some young officers who misconducted themselves, and I told themthat courts-mar tial were not the fashion in militia regiments but that if I reported them to Lord Wilton they would lie removed at once. Do you call Major Walker a young officer ? Witness—No; I am aware that it was Major Walker who stated before the board of inquiry about the little bird. I denied it then, and I deny it now. All I said was that I should have an eye to see that there was no gambling going on in the regiment. That was what Major Walker disliked, because he gambled with the young officers, as I have found out since, and can prove it. (Sensation). This was twisted and turned into the saying, "A little bird," but I never made use of such an expression. This closed the cross -examination. Re-examined by Mr. Hl'Vekins—l have been 33 years in the army. Tho officers of the Tower Hamlets Militia regi . ment were far from efficient. Not one o f th em h a d serve d in the army except myself and Col. North. The adjutant had been in the army. There was no dissentient among the officers to paying the cost of the entertainment at Wool wich out of the mess funds. I settled the speech which Lord Wilton delivered on the presentation of the colours, or, at all events, told him what I would say. (Laughter.) Mr. Hawkins—Do you remember, when he proposed your .health, that ho bore his "warmest testimony to your talent - , efficiency, and untiring zeal ?" Witness—Yes. Lord Campbell—Did you write that speech too ? (Laugh- ter.) Witness—No, not that one. Mr. Thomas Slingsby Duncombe, M.P.; examined by Mr. James—l have known Col. Dickson twelve or fifteen years. I remember his calling on me in July last in refer ence to a threat to dismiss him from the army without in quiry. I thought it right, in consequence, to put a ques tion to the Secretary of State for War in the House of Com mons. Mr. Duncombe then read the question. Lord Campbell—When I was in the House of Commons, Mr. Duncombe, that would have been called a reasoning motion. Mr. Duncombe—But if the house liked it there was no harm in it. (Laughter.) Examination continued—After I had given the notice of the question, and before I put it, I received a note from Lord Wilton asking to see me. I answered by his messen ger that I was very much engaged that day (Friday, 16th of July), and requested him to call the next day, which he did. He said he called upon me in consequence of my notice, and that he wished to explain to me matters con nected with that question. I stated that I had seen Colonel Dickson, who had been with me a few days before, com plaining to me that he was to be unjustly removed by the War-office in consequence of representations that he (Lord Wilton) had made to Lord Combermere ; that he was most anxious to have an inquiry or a court -martial before such dismissal took place, and requested me, if I had no objection, to put a question to General Peel on the subject. I said, " What's your case P" or " What's your grievance ?" He then produced several papers, and among others the charges which Lord Wilton forwarded to Lord Combermere on which a regimental board had sat. I said I had gone through the, papers with Col. Dick son, and that Col. Dickson's explanations of those charges were perfectly satisfactory, and that I th oug ht he (Lord Wilton) had no case whatever against Col. Dickson ; that Col. Dickson had told me that the report of this regimental board was founded, some of it in spite ; and that the presi dent, who had only been a short time in the regiment—Major Walker—was very anxious, of course, to get into Colonel Dickson's shoes by making an unfavourable report ; that the object of the other two parties who constituted this court, to whom he objected, were accounting parties ; and that they would have been much better employed in settling their own accounts instead of perverting his. O n w hi c h L or d Wilton said, " But you don't know all. Independently of Dickson having received and retained the regimental funds, I have had to pay £5BO for some part of th e kit s ; o f t h e regi ment." " Well, I said, "perhaps that is some part of the honour of being colonel of the Tower Hamlets Militia Regi ment." (Laughter.) Lord Wilton said, " But that is not all, I have been sued for this £580." I said, " Well, that is still more disagreeable." Then he said, "Here comes the worst of all, I have been sued at the instigation of Colonel Dickson." I said, " Well, that is very bad, but I hope it is net true." Lord Wilton said, " Yes, it is perfectly true, for Sharpus' people told me so, and Sharpus' lawyer had told my lawyer so." I said, " If that is so, I consider it most blackguard conduct o n th e par t o f Col. Dickson," in which Lord Wilton concurred. He said, " I do assure you that if I wanted to take the regiment out to-morrow not two officers would go out with me to serve under Col. Dickson." I said I should of course communi cate all ho had said to Col. Dickson, and call upon him for an explanation, and that if this turned out to be true I should have nothing to do with Col. Dickson's case, and not put the question to Gen. Peel. I said I could not at all understand what it all meant, for Col. Dickson had told me that he and Lord Wilton were on the best terms of friendship, and that he had received heaps of letters from him, thanking him for the way in which he had managed the regiment in his absence, and that his lordship was so pleased with his conduct that he offered to get the Queen to knight him. Lord Wilton said that was perfectly true. In short, I told Lord Wilton that Col. Dickson was the only efficient officer in his regiment, and the only man who knew his business. (Laughter.) I was in the Coldstream Guards myself nine years. ,I immediately sent for Colonel Dickson, and informed him what had passed between me and Lord Wilton. I was so satisfied with his statement, in reply, that I put the question to Gen. Peel on the following Monday. I called on Gen. Peel. Cross-examined by the Attorney-General--I have been on terms of intimacy with the Earl of Wilton many years, and enjoyed his confidence. I showed Gen. Peel. the form of notice I intended to give, and I said I really thought Lord Wilton so wrong in the whole affair that the thing should go on. When Lord Wilton was with me I told him that the affair was so absurd in the beginning that I thought they had better shake hands and so let the matter end. I might have said to General reel that it was a pity two old friends should quarrel, and that if I saw Lord Wilton I might make peace between them. When I saw Lord Wilton there was very little talk before we came to the business of Dickson, but a good deal after. We talked about racing— (laughter)—and homoeopathy. (Loud laughter.) Lord Campbell—And perhaps about the Reform Bill ? Mr. Duncombe—No ; but I was a great invalid on that day, and he was kind enough to recommend me homoeo pathy. The Attorney-General--And I hope you benefitei by his advice ? Mr. Duncombe—He told me that upon that system he treated his horses and dogs. (Loud laughter.) Examination continued—He said that things had gone too far to make up the quarrel and shake hands. Re-examined—l am as certain as I am standing here that I intimated my intention to repeat the conversation to Col. Dickson. I had the pleasure of Lord Wilton's company for more than an hour. When I spoke to Gen. Peel of my in tention to put the question, he seemed ignorant of having signed the letter of the 30th of ,Tune to Lord Wilton, to the effect that if Col. Dickson did not resign he should be re moved, and Gen. Peel's answer to my question in the House of Commons was in direct contradiction of that letter. In the letter was the expression that he felt it his duty to take that n th e answer a v er f t i e a r the inquiry the House of by Commons t re gi mentalhe said b h o e ar d,and was net satisfied with that inquiry, and promised to have further and fresh inquiry. Mr. Cullum, of the firm of Sharpus and Co., said goods to the amount of £579 were supplied by them to the Tower Hamlets Militia Regiment. In June, 1857, witness applied to the Earl of Wilton for the money. Before then he (wit ness) saw Col. Dickson several times on the subject. The colonel never instigated them to sue the Earl of Wilton. They placed the account in the hands of their solicitors to recover the money from his lordship. Witness, nor any from the firm, never saw the earl. His lordship ultimately paid the debt and costs. The firm brought separate actions for - the money against Colonel Dickson, Captain Dickson, and Major Walker. Mr. Samuel Scott, traveller for the same firm, deposed to seeing the Earl of Wilton at Bethnal-green, and to his selecting a. pattern for the dinner and breakfast service for the mess. He said the officers wished to get the services at as moderate a price as they could, as they did not know how long the regiment was to be embodied. The china he selected was supplied to the regiment. Witness never re ceived any order from Col. Dickson without consulting his brother officers in his presence. He never gave a single order for any article on his own responsibility. The kit supplied to the regiment was a very moderate one. Mr. Wainwright, solicitor for Messrs. Sharpus, stated that Col. Dickson had never instigated him in any way to brink the action against the Earl of Wilton. Col. Harvey, who had been 32 years in the army, and commanded the 95th, said—Generally the meeting for exa mining regimental accounts consisted of the commander of the regiment, the paymaster, and the members of the mess committee. Such entertainments as those given by the Tower Hamlets Militia Regiment would properly,come ou of the mess funds. Cross-examined—Mess meetings for accounts are held in some regiments every three mOnths, - and in others rarely or not at all. Not an officer out of ten understands the mess accounts when they are submitted to them. (Laughter.) Col. James said there was no prescribed rule in the army for holding mess meetings for accounts. Sometimes they were held every six months, or only once in twelve months. The witness generally confirmed the evidence of Colonel Harvey. Captain Noble, an officer of the regiment in question, said as soon as it was said the Earl of Wilton had selected a pattern for the crockery, the officers at once approved of it as a matter of course. This was the case for the plaintiff. The Attorney-General submitted that the two letters complained of as libels were privileged communications. Lord Campbell—lf those letters were sent bona fide by the Earl of Wilton, believing that the contents were true, I think they must be treated as privileged communications. But I am of opinion that there is evidence to go to the jury. The Attorney-General then addressed the jury at con siderable length on behalf of the Earl of Wilton, who, he said, was now charged, for the first time in his life, with publishing a malicious libel. Ho assured the jury that his lordship, throughout this most painful and perplexing trans action, had been actuated by the most friendly and kindly feelings- towards Lieut.-Colonel Dickson, and that his conduct had been that of an upright and honourable English nobleman and gentleman. The real and great question for their determination in the case was, whether the Earl of Wilton had or had not acted in this affair otherwise than with the most perfect good faith and sincerity. With regard to the practice of the army in respect to mess accounts and mess affairs, he would call Viscount Comberrnere, who had seen brilliant services in the Peninsula, at Waterloo and in India, and who, since the death o f th e great Duice of Wellington, was the one man living connected with the army who had the longest and greatest experience. He should also call Colonel North and the Earl of Wilton. The learned counsel then entered into the details of the case. On the conclusion of the learned gentleman's address Major Walker was called and examined. In the course of his evidence he denied that he had ever played with the young officers at 100, except for very trifling sums. The trial was still proceeding when the court rose at a late hour. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. DUBLIN UNIVERSITY. • DUBLIN, FRIDAY EVENING. . The Attorney-General was elected to-day as the successor of Mr. George Alexander Hamilton without opposition. The right hon. gentleman was proposed by the Rev. Dr. Lloyd, one of the senior Fellows, and seconded by the Rev. Dr. Mortimer 0. Sullivan. Mr. Whiteside's speech was unusually brief ; ho did not speak for more than three quarters of an hour, and scarcely glanced at any of the great questions of the day. GALWAY. GALWAY, FRIDAY, 11 45. The election proceedings have just terminated in the return without opposition of 'Mr. J. 0. Lever. He was proposed by Father Daly, and seconded by Mr. E. C. Burke, one of the largest merchants of Galway. WEST RIDING. The election of a member for the West Riding of York shire in the place of Lord Viscount Goderich, who has just been elevated to the House of Lords, on the death of his father, the late Earl of Ripon, has been fixed to take place at Wakefield on Monday, the 21st inst. Sir John William Ramsden is the only candidate in the field, and it is ex pected that' his election will be unopposed. EAST WORCESTERSHIRE. The writ for the election of a knight of the shire in the room of Colonel Rushout, now Lord Northwick, was re ceived by the under-sheriff at Worcester yesterday, but has not yet been proclaimed in consequence of the absence of the sheriff. It is understood, however, that it will be pro claimed to-day (Saturday), and that the nomination will take place either on Saturday or Monday week. There seems to be no doubt that both parties will go to the poll, as each expresses the utmost confidence inthe issue, the friends of either party claiming to have already secured a majority of promises. The contest, there can be no doubt, will be a very severe one, and will be the more interesting, as it is nearly a quarter of a century since the last contested elec tion for East Worcestershire. The number of voters on the register is 5,924—viz., 5,021 freeholders and copyholders, and 903 leaseholders and occu piers. The last contest for the division took place in 1837, on the death of William IV., when after a trial of strength of the two parties, two Conservative candidates wero elected in opposition s to two Whigs. The numbers polled on that occasion were— Lieut. P au l (C onserva ti ve ), 2,505; Barneby (Conservative), 2,528; Holland (Whig), 2,175; and Foley (Whig) 2,168. Mr. Rushout (now Lord N orthwick) being the Conservative member, that party claims to return a Conservative in his place, but the Liberals, having gained strength in the division by strict attention to the register, have put forward a candidate in their behalf in the person of the Hon. Mr. Calthorpe. There is a good deal of excitement throughout the county, and meetings continue to be held on behalf of both parties. Mr. Pakington is now in London, having been obliged to decline taking an active part in the canvass, since the first week, from an attack of indisposition, but is understood that he will be present in person on the day of nomination. In the meantime, Lord Ingestre and the Hon. F. Lygon attend public meetings on his behalf, and last night, at Balsall-heath, obtained a resolution in his favour. Mr. Calthorpe attended another meeting last night at Ashwood bank, and obtained a similar warrant of support. GREENWICH. Since the announcement of General Sir William Cod rington's intention to resign his seat in Parliament into the hands of his constituents at Greenwich, on account of his appointment as Governor and Commander of the Forces at Gibraltar, some influential private meetings have been held at Woolwich to form a committee for the purpose of pre senting a requisition to the , Hon. Swynfen T. Carnegie, C. 8., Junior Lord of the Admiralty, proposing his accept ance of the representation of the borough. It is believed that, should the gallant Captain accept the invitation, ho will be returned without opposition. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN. The report of the directors states that the receipts of this company for the past half-year amounted to £1,682,060, and working expenses to £669,363 ; showing an increase in the receipts of £100,198, and in the expenses of £12,271, as compared with those of the corresponding half of 1857. The directors recommend the payment of a dividend for the past half-year at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum, carrying forward a balance of £23,196. NORTH LONDON. The net revenue of this company for the past half-year, after deducting all expenses and debenture interest, amounts to £24,559, being £3,6G8 more than at the corresponding half of 1857, and is sufficient to pay a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, leaving £B5O. GREAT WESTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday at the Railway Terminus, Paddington, the Hon. F. Ponsonby in the chair. Mr. Saunders, the secretary, having read the notice con vening the meeting, the report and statement of accounts were taken as read. . The CHAIRMAN said that, proceeding to the regular busi ness -of the half-yearly meeting, it w as hi s d uty, in sub mitting to the proprietors . the report o f th e directors and the accounts, to call their attention in the fi rs t i ns t ance to a subjoct touched upon in them re s p ec ti ng the capital account, and also respecting the promise he gave at the previous meeting of the company in reference to that ac count. Ho hoped that he had fulfilled that promise to the satisfaction of the propriet ors. H e would, however, reserve any discussion on the subject to the period when he should submit a resolution on the matter. They well knew the result of sudden political events on commercial intercourse, and it was impossible to say what in this respect might occur, and this was another reason why he thought the proprietors should support the recommendation of the directors for the payment of a 2 per cent. dividend. On looking bacl to the proceedings of the past half-year he 337 1,175 15,299 BURNING A N. .695 30,027 - 362 1,143 10,367 674 25,424 'GRO IN AMERICA. The New York Tribune of January 15 has an article entitled, " Burning Slaves," in the course of which the following horrible story is quoted from the Union Springs Gazette, a journal of Alabama : " The deceased has the reputation of having, even to a fault, ever been a kind and humane master. On the day before the murder, Mr. J. had whipped this boy Milford, or had him whipped for some misdemeanour, and had him chained or locked up till Monday morning, when he went to him, took off his chain , and told him to 'go to .the mill and go to work.' The boy made some impudent reply, when Mr. j, told him if he did not stop his insolence he would knock him down with a lock, and turned to walk away. The boy then took an axe that was lying near and struck Mr. J. on the head and knocked him down, dropped the axe and walked all steps, then turned and went back, took the 'a a 3 x r e a and few struck him three times more on the head, and reti re d a short distance and sat down, making no a tt emp t to escape. A public meeting of the citizens, indis criminately, was called on Wednesday , t o d e t erm i ne what should be done with the negro , when the b proposition was made t o urn h!___ alive, to the number of 200 or 300 votingfor every it .T o h n a e t , evening, at three o'clock, in the presence of 500 persons, he was chained to a tree and burned. Just before the fire was set he confirmed the above state ment in every partictar. Ile stated also that he had determined to kill his master some time before — that, his having him whipped the day before had not instigated him to the brutal deed—that lie had his knife op en in his pocket to do the deed when his master should come to unfasten him, but his heart failed him ; but that when he told him if he did not stop his insolence he would knock him down, he proceeded to execute his fell purpose. The culprit ceased to show any signs of life two and a half minutes from the time the torch was applied. On the 24th ult. Mr. Simon B. Thornhill, who resided near Troy, Mo., punished one of his negroes for misconduct. The negro then rushed on his master with a large knife and stabbed him, which caused his death in two days. The negro was taken to Troy and confined in gaol. The affair caused much excitement in the county, and on Saturday a very large number of persons collected at Troy. repaired to the gaol, took the murderer out, and lynched him by burning."

Such arrangement is equivalent to an immediate advance of 50 per cent, upon the annual pre mium, without the borrower having recourse to the unplea sant necessity of procuring sureties, or assigning and thereby parting with his Policy, during the currency of the Loan, irrespective of the great attendant expenses in such arrange ment. The above mode of insurance has been found most advan tageous when Policies have been required to cover monetary transactions, or when incomes applicable for Insurance are at present limited, as it only necessitates half the outlay formerly required by other Companies before the present system was instituted by this Office.

The speech of the Emperor Napoleon, of which a sum mary, received at Stefam's telegraph office, agrees in sub stance with a more • copious one that has reached this Go vernment, was the great topic of conversation last night at Count Cavour's second ball of this season, and continues to be so this morning. It has given decided satisfaction here. It is looked upon as a confirmation and extension of the New Year's greeting to Baron Hubner, and to mean war. It is natural that the Italians should interpret it in a sense conformable to their wishes. I think I am not mistaken in saying that the passage in the Imperial discourse least pleasing to their ears is that in which Napoleon declares his determination to adhere to the English alliance; and this feeling of dissatisfaction, this bitter drop which alloys their cup of joy, is doubtless rendered the stronger by the tenour of Thursday's debate- in the English Parliament. They grieve to see Lords Palmerston and John Russell de claring that Austria has a right to her own, and that treaties must be maintained as a protection against anarchy in Europe. They hoped that those ancient backers of Italy and supporters of free institutions would have manifested other sentiments, uttered more consoling words. They deplore and wonder at the absence from the debate of all reference to the idea of Italian nationality, so predominant here. From the first it has excited their surprise that this should obtain so little attention in England. With them it is everything. Their objects is not to obtain any particular form of Govern merit ; their cry is not for constitutions, popular represen tation, and the like ; what they want, the one aim that absorbs them, is to drive out the Austrians. They Want Italy for the Italians ; they hope to obtain this by means of _France ; they having faith that France, having rendered them the service, would quietly withdraw her legions, satis fied with a self-approving conscience, and that Italian affairs, left entirely in Italian hands, would then run as smooth as a locomotive with greased wheels. They aro rich, you perceive, in faith and hope; as regards charity, they hold to the maxim that it begins at home. From the period of the very first indication of the plans and designs that have lately assumed such considerable proportions and attracted so much attention—as far bask, that is to say, as the beginning of last summer—l have observed that the view England would take of the question has been a point .of considerable anxiety to the Italian party. That anxiety has naturally increased as matters appeared to be drawing to a head and threatening a crisis. There are many here who know how to estimate the strength and resources of England ; who apprehend the influence which a desire to preserve her affiance might have on the Emperor of the French ; who dread the weight of her sword and purse, were they thrown into the scale at some well-chosen moment before the fight had been fought out. I have heard many say, from the very beginning, "It England will remain neutral our game is secure ," for not a doubt is entertained of the Austrians being promptly and completely worsted by the Franco- Piedmontese army. Some sanguine persons may, perhaps have cherished a hope of England being induced to Join in compelling Austria to give up possessions to which, it is here maintained, she has no just right. The tone of the English press must have gone far to dissipate such de lusions, which Thursday's debate cannot but have finally destroyed. Nevertheless, I must say that hitherto, and as far as my observation goes, the course England has shown herself disposed to take has not here excited feelings of bitterness towards her. Here and there an emigrant may grind his teeth, but the majority speak regretfully rather than wrathfully, in sorrow, not in anger. They seem sur prised, as well as grieved, at the backwardness of free Eng land in the cause of Italian nationality, and they find no way of explaining it. "Haw is it," said to me this very day a fine-spirited Italian gentleman, who has served with our armies, and has the reputation of an Anglomaniac, "that Englishmen who are national in the highest degree, and who would perish to the last man to keep the foot of days ago, od E , n s a‘ g i l i a i n ,a d tßh h ue a s s the foreigner from their soil, have not more sympathy for our present aspirations ?" "It is so long," said another, sßknianevoiw(B) itiraFirncevon,aszetheioigann.p,rnot7h..asao,tzneaosheinceughpuiaiesredbdyecootrmre.. indifferent to the sufferings of others " "What would shire, and if Russia or France pretended to have acquired, by means of conquest, the right to rule an English pro vince ? Luckily for the E ng li s h , the hypothesis is more we themselves for f t o h r e a fa m vo o i m u- en of t c i e n rt o a n ici . t E I inagnl writers 1 e o b ut put place." Such is the style of remark one commonly hears. TIIE EX-KING OF DELIII.—The ex-King of Delhi arrived at Rangoon on the Bth instant, in her Majesty's steamer Megvera. On Thursday, at four o'clock, he was landed with his attendants, and taken under a Eu ropean escort to the mainguard. There he will remain for the present. His destivation is Totmghoo,—Rangoo n Dec, 11. '450 li 1,301 2 A letter from Calcutta, dated Janu ary 9, says : —" The campaign in ude is very nearly over. The fort of Nanparah was taken on Dec. 27, and the Begum is reported to have surrendered. Th e enemy, who occupied the place in great force, evacu ated it in a panic, and retreated further into the jungle, and the only fear expressed was lest they should contrive once more to march round the attacking column. During the movement immedi ately preceding the attack on Nanparah the Com mander-in-Chief was thrown from his horse, and dislocated his collarbone. I am happy to say, however, the misfortune produced less serious results than might have been apprehended. By the latest accounts he was reported as doing well. There is a rumour that 10,000 men have eluded both Sir Grant and Brigadier Rowcroft, and are traversing Gorruckpore in full march for Sarun. This story, I suspect, is exaggerated, though some large gang will probably try that route; and the 19th, at Dinapore, has received orders to bold itself prepared. Sarun is very rich, but the land is to a large extent in European hands, and the peasantry are therefore tolerably contented. They did not rise when the district was invaded before by Mahomed Hoosein's lieutenants, and may possibly be induced to rise on our side. If they will, th e rebels, be they few or many, must be destroyed or dispersed in a week. Be that as it may, it is be lieved in camp that the campaign is over, and that Oude is thoroughly subdued. One twelvemonth of quiet, and the chance of the disaffected will be gone for ever. They will have no forts, no arms, no artillery, no jungles unpierced by roads, and strong garrisons in their midst occupying every important point. " On the other side, Tantia Topec has again been defeated. He has taught our troops to march. Brigadier Parke recently marched 241 miles in eight days, and now Col. Benson has marched 140 miles in five days, caught the fugitives at Sigapore, and routed them with great slaughter. Both Tantia and Feroze Shah are believed to be working steadily towards Jeypore, whence they can threaten Bhurt pore, or slink, if needful, into the Bilkaneer Desert. Tho rebels near Kirwee have also been cat up by Brigadier Whitlock from Banda. They had con trived to outmanceuvre Col. Campbell, deceiving him by talking about the amnesty, while their leader, Radha Gibind, by a forced march, threw himself into Col. Campbell's rear, and besieged Kirwee. Gen. Whitlock advanced to the relief of the place, caught the rebels, killed their leaders, and utterly disorganised the force. They must disperse, and, in fact, the rebels are hopelessly beaten everywhere. Lord Clyde's success in subjugating 0 u cle, the ever in creasing force of Europeans, and the energy evolved by a long protracted struggle, render the British position for the hour impregnable. I know nothing in our history more conclusive as to the strength of England than these facts. Twenty months ago we were assailed unprepared by an army of 100,000 men, thoroughly acclimatised, possessed of ample magazines, of an almost 'incredible amount of artil lery, and of every great city except two. We have fought incessantly for 20 months, through seasons of unprecedented severity. We have lost all our native army and 40,000 Europeans, and in the 20th month of the struggle we have regained every pro vince, have re-established every station, have beaten every army, are in full pursuit of every fragment, have recreated telegraphic communication, have new steamers on every river, have recreated a new army of 140,000 natives, and have round the standards a European force four times as strong as the army that originally faced the revolt, and twice as strong as the army which has perished on the field and in the hospital. " It is believed that Government will be able to reopen furloughs in March, when the rush of In dians homewards will tax the resources of the Pe ninsular and Oriental Company. Her Majesty's officers in particular dislike the service and the country excessively. The Indian services are weary with excitement, craving for hthne, anxious, some of them, to regain scenes from which they were suddenly ordered out after the enjoyment of a few weeks. Lord Stanley, moreover, has just granted the prayer for 15 more civil pensions, which will induce 15 high officials to resign. His order, en passant, is a curious illustration of the effect of the change ear cried out last session. The managers of the Civil Fund, who petitioned for the boon, fancying the reply would arrive a year o r two hence, after the old fashion, have not yet circulated their request to the services; so that the order gran ti ng th e con cession will be the first intimation that it bas been asked for. " There is, moreover, a most unusual number of great offices vacant or 'about to be vacated. The Chief Commissionership of Oude will be filled, it is said, by Mr. Wingfield, Commissioner of Baraitch. The Residency of Indere will be vacated by the resignation, already gazetted, of Sir R. Hamilton. Colonel Ramsay has consented to return to Kat mandoo, but only for a week. Envoys, commis sioner, generals, judges,—everybody- seems upon the move,andtheyearwM witness a greater change in Indian society than we see in most decades. Next year not cat, ruling man of 1867, save the Governor-General, will remain in India. Even the Supreme Council, which for 10 years has been changed almost imperceptibly, is altering at last. Mr. Peacock has outstayed his time two years. Mr. Grant has received official intimation that he will succeed in May to the Lieutenant-Governor ship of Bengal. Mr. Montgomery's appointment leaves another seat open, and the time seems favourable for a change desired by all Indians, by officials even more than the public." FATAL POACHING AFFRAY IN NOTTS. The adjourned inquest on the body of the poacher Ward was held on Tuesday . and Wednesday, the Bth and 9th inst., at the Shire Hall, Nottingham. The first witness examined was a gamekeeper named Richards, who said he was out watching, in company with others, on the night of the affray ; they had no firearms with them. They discovered a number of nets, near which was a party of men. One of the poachers said, "Come on, and we'll skew you up." They immediately hurled large stones at himself and the other watchers. He (along with his fellow eepers advanced towards the men, who came forward to meet them. A keeper named Wood head was knocked down, and he (witness) received some severe blows on the head.

He did not know how Ward received his death-blow. He (witness) was taken into custody. They soon afterwards got to the village and lay on a hovel floor all night. When the affray was over one of the keepers brought the deceased to where witness was, and said, " Here is a dead man we will lay amongst them." The deceased vomited in the cottage. A gun was fired by one of the keepers. The flash was close to witness's face when he was begging for mercy. IVhen the keepers took wit ness and the deceased to the cottage in the village Woodward, one of the keepers, said he had not had an opportunity of getting his pistol out of his pocket during the affray when he was struck by one of the poachers, or he should have shot him.
