DOnnor,l 41,...;- ____A!_. ~ , The half-yearly meeting ;i this company was held yesterday, at the Euston Station, for the trans action of general business. The chair was taken by the Marquis of Chandos. The SECRETARY having read the advertisement convening the meeting, the report, given in this journal a few days since, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN then said—l presume the pro prietors, following the course usually adopted, since the report has b een c i rcu l a t e d with the ac counts, will take the report as read. I have, then, very few words to offer before submitting it for your adoption. The proprietors will perceise, from the statement in the report, that the increase in the receipts is attributable in a great degree to additional traffic, and still at the low rates, and not, as I certainly expected last Christmas would have have been the case, from, to a great extent, an alteration of the rates IN hich had been disturbed by the competition; and that is explained by the cir cumstance that during the competition many special bargains and other arrangements had been made by other companies, which prevented the small rise in the rates, which it had been agreed on all hands was a proper rise to be made, taking effect until those special bargains had dropped. The result has been that for a large portion of the last half year we have still been carrying on the traffic to a very considerable amount at the reduced rates which were forced upon us during the competition. Taking an instance, I may mention a very large amount of traffic between London and Manchester where the rates agreed on by all parties was 385., but where, until the latter portion of last year, we were unable to obtain more than 30s. And with regard to passenger traffic also, to a con siderable extent, the same remark applies. The low rates at Manchester induced, as a consequence, the reduction of the rate to many of the towns in the neighbourhood, and the large number of excursion trains run to those places have had the effect of preventing the traffic being carried on at , the full rates which it was intended to charge, and which I am glad to be able to say will be adopted within a short period—rates which will conduce to the interests of the proprietors, and which the public can afford to pay, and will, I think, be glad to pay for good service. You will see from the report that the measures presented to Parliament for authoris- ONE HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD ON CONVICTION.

But only 73 of the bills were passed. and 328 miles of new line only authorised.

The amount of money authorised to be raised last year for new lines and new works wa5£6,834.705, against £10,336,413 in 1857, £5,784,426 in 1856, £9,192,038 in 1855, £9,211,602 in 1854, £15,517,601 in 1853 , £4,333,834 in 1852, £9,553,275 in 1851, and £4,115,632 in 1850. The gross total sum authorized to be raised in the 13 years from 1846 to 1858 (both inclusive) amounted to £265,142,590. In 1846 alone, the period of the g rcat railway mania, £132,617368 was authorized to be raised for the construction of 4,538 miles of railway. The total amount of money authorized to be raised by railway companies by shares and on loan to the end oflBsB was £392.6182,755, of which £325,375,507 had been raised, leaving £67,307,248 to be raised. There are no means of ascertaining how much of this sum appertains to the portions of railway for which the Parliamentary powers have expired. 15,659 miles constituted the total length of line authorized down to the end of 1858; but 1,610 miles have been abandoned ; 9,506 miles of line were open at the end of last year, and 4,543 miles (duly authorized) remained to be opened. 6,976 miles were open on the 31st of December last in England, 1,342 in Scotland, and 1,188 in Ireland. The narrow guage is quite in the ascendant, seeing that, of the 9,542 miles of line open, 6,352 miles were narrow guage, 749 only broad guage, 261 mixed guage, and 1,180 " Irish" guage. Of single lines, there were 2,088 miles of narrow, 255 of broad, 52 of mixed, and 753 of " Irish" guage. Of 426 miles of new line opened in 1858, 372 were laid with only one line of rails. 880 miles of new line were reported to be in course of construction on the 30th of June, 1858, and of these 219 miles were opened before the last day of the year. 38,546 per sons, an average of 43.79 per mile, were employed on the 30th of June, 1858, upon the lines in course of construction. The length of line open for traffic in the United Kingdom on the 30th of June, 1858, was 9,323 miles, and the number of persons em ployed thereon amounted to 109,329 persons or 1112 per mile. £325,375,507 was the total amount raised for railways on the 31st of December, 1858, represent ing an expenditure of £34,243 per mile of railway open. It is assumed that on an average 6 per cent. of that expenditure has been for Parliamentary and legal expenses, 18 for land and compensation, 66 for works, and 10 for rolling stock.

The result of that rejection will be to prevent the completion of the arrangements between the respective companies, until further powers shall be obtained from Parlia ment; but, as we have stated in the report, and as I am glad to be able to repeat, the Great Northern, and the Manchester, She ffi eld, and Lincolnshire Companies and ourselves are in perfect accord with regard to the mode in which, pending further ap plications to Parlianent, the traffic of the lines shall be conducted and the business of the companies carried on.

(Cheers.) Mr. PUNCHER, M.P., thought their miserable dividend was attributable not to excursion trains or, bad management, but to thriftiness. He believed, however, that though the directors were careful, those employed 1 - . y them were not so, for he knew an instance where £20,000 was expended without any cause whatever. Their stations were kept in a very expensive manner, and too much money was spent in pulling down and building up without any cause whatever. They were losing £l,OOO a week between London and Rugby in consequence of the carelessness of their officers and servants. He in tended to move that a committee of seven, three to be a quorum, be appointed to examine the accounts of the company, and to compare them with the printed accounts circulated among the proprietors, STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER, Aug. 19.—The market is quiet, but with a rather better feeling than on Tuesday, and some business has been done for China and India. A telegram from Bombay brings rather better accounts, but most of the buyers seem disposed to await the arrival of their letters. For Germany and the continent there is not much business. Fine and double yarns are firm. The lower and middle counts have undergone no change. The majority of spinners being well under con tract manifest no great desire to press sales. The middle counts of yarns are rather easier in price. The supply of printing cloths still falls below the demand, and prices are very firm.

STAMM, SP. railways in the United Kingdom has averaged £24,243 . per mile—viz., £38,779 in England, £27,532 in Scotland, and £15,061 in Ireland—the average cost of lines of railway for which Acts 'l've been obtained since 1848, and which are now opened for traffic, has amounted to , £10,500 per mile—viz. £12,600 per mile in England, £B7OO per mile in ' Scotland, and £6,600 per mile in Ireland. Of the total amount of money raised, £81,683,179 has been raised by loans, £61,854,547 by preference shares, and the reniainder--viz., £181,837,781—by ordi nary share capital. The average rate of dividend on the whole of the ordinary share capital in railways invested was 3.06 lastyear against 3.60 in 1867, and-3.40 in 1856. It has al wa y s ben 3 and a decimal since 1852; in that year it was 2 . 40; in 1851, 2 . 44; in 1850,1.83; and in 1849, 1 . 88. The average interest on the pre ference capital and loan was 4.63 last year; it ranged at 4 and a decimal from 1851 to 1858; in 1850 it was 5 . 00, and in 1849, 4 . 94. The percentage of the gross receipts (less working expenses) to the total amount of capital and loan has ranged from 2.83 to 4'06. It was 3.75 last year. " It- may be assumed," says Captain Galton, " that so long a s th e propor tion of the net receipts to the capital expended in creases in each year the property is in a sound con dition." Last year, however, the net recipts unfor• tunately exhibited a decrease. The proportion of paisenger traffic to the whole traffic was 43 per cent. in England, 36 in Scotland, and 57 in Ireland. 139,193,699 persons were con veyed by railway last year, against 139,008,888 in 1857. The receipts from passengers amounted to £10,376,309, against £10,592,798 in 1857. The re ceipts from goods, cattle, minerals, parcels, &c., in 1858 amounted to £13,580,440, against £13,581,812 in 1857, which represents £1,458 per mile in 1858, compared with £1,524 per mile in 1857. The total receipts from goods, cattle, minerals, parcels, &c., may be divided as follows, viz.: —£7,711,350 was for the conveyance of 25,593,996 tons of mer chandise, £4,046,061 was for the conveyance of 48,396,501 tons of minerals, £501,398 for the con -1 veyance of 11,206,110 heads of live stock, and £1,321,631 for the conveyance of parcels, &c. Al though there has been on the whole an increase in the receipts for goods, minerals, live stock, &c., in 1858 over 1857, the stagnation in trade caused by the panic had a perceptible effect upon the receipts of the year ended the 31st of December, 1858; in this year there was a dimi nu ti on o f £ 70,393 in the receipts on account of general' merchandise as com pared with the receipts of the year ended the 31st of December, 1857 ; this occurred entirely in Eng land and Scotland. The traffic in live stock also showed a decrease of £22,350 in England and £1;097 in Scotland, which was reduced in the general total to £15,960 by an increase of £7,487 in Ireland. The total receipts from all sources of traffic have amounted in England and Wales to £20,244,095, or £2,939 per mile in 1858 against ' £20,527,748, or £3,105 per mile in 1857; in Scotland to £2,536, 33, or £1,949 per mile in 1858, against £2,501,47 , or £2,040 per mile in 1857 ; and in Irelan to £1,175,721, or £1,041 per mile in 1858 against £1,145,384, or £1,076 per mile in 1857. The aggre gate receipts from all sources of traffic for the whole kingdom having been £23,956,749, or £2,572 per mile in £lB5B, against £24,176,610, or £2,710 per mile in 1857. Of the 140,000,000 passengers (in round numbers) conveyed last year 18,302,384 were first class, 41,693,289 second class. 79,146,464 third class and Parliamentary, and 52,562 holders of an. nual or season tickets. The other " live stock" in cluded 2,323,305 head of cattle, 6,938,160 sheep, and 2,048,619 pigs. The general results of the traffic in 1858 exhi bited by these figures are undoubtedly unsatisfac tory, inasmuch as, while the length of railway in the united kingdom has increased by above 400 miles, the receipts were actually less in 1858 than in 1857 by £217,861, and the working expenses ave raged 49 . per cent. of the receipts, instead of 47 per cent., as was the case in 1857. On some of the principal railway companies, however, the traffic has materially improved. We have already dealt with " accidents " From the tables it appears that one passenger in 5,353,603 has been killed, and one in 332,204 been injured from causes beyond their own control during the year 1858. The proportion of killed and injured from similar causes to the number who travelled was one in 312,794. A select committee of the house sat last year upon the subject of railway accidents, and after a careful consideration of the question they were of opinion that the responsibility of the management should be left with th e ra il wa y companies, and that interference by the Government is, as a gene ral ruie, not desirable. As a contrast to the system of leaving the responsibility of management on the companies, Capt. Galton has appended a transla tion of the regulations imposed on the companies by the Government, drawn up by a commission of inquiry inta the safety of railway travelling in France, from which it will be seen how close the interference by the Government in railway manage ment is in that country. " A careful study of these regulations appears to show that interference in the details of railway management is scarcely pos sible, unless the interference be carried throng-bout the whole system." " There can be no doubt," adds the captain, "that the true interests of railway companies are nearly identical with those of the public, both in respect of safety and convenience in railway tra velling, and it is to be hoped that each year the rail way companies will be led more and more to understand this, and, that while doing their utmost to accommodate the public, they will increase their dividends by improved management, and avoid that reckless competition by which so large an amount of money has hitherto been annually wasted." TILE TRIAL OF DR. SMETHURST. (From the Daily News.) Another cause celelre has been concluded. Thomas Smethurst, the surgeon of Richmond, has, after a tri a l o f fi ve d ays, b een con d emned to death: Like the infamous Palmer, the prisoner was of the medical profession, and like Palmer, too, the crime with which he was charged was secret poisoning Tt was difficult to imagine a case mo re a t roc i ous . han the murder of Cook, but it seems that the rime of Smethurst is even more daring and more heartless. Even now that the jury have pro nounced their verdict, it is difficult to believe that any human being should be guilty of the charge; although, after reading the evidence, it is well nigh impossible to doubt that the verdict is tho roughly justified by the facts. The story is full of mystery. This man was not only a man of education, but he had retired from his profession, and was living with his wife in fur nished lodgings. His wife was certainly an old woman, above 70, he having married her some 30 years ago; but, as he himself told the jury after the judge had assumed the black cap, "he had taken her an excursion to Paris and Heidelberg last year, had behaved to her with the utmost kindness, and had brought her back safe to Eng land." And it must be admitted, that no single word or act of unkindness appears ever to have escaped from him. No account was given of his previous life, except that he had kept a water-cure establishment in the neighbourhood of Farnham. It is singular that a man of independ ent means and of respectable connexions should have been left alone in his difficulties. Not a sin gle friend came to support him in the dock, or even to vouch for his former respectability. Sometimes the appearance and manner of a man furnish indications of his character. The murderer shows it in his face. The innocent man accused falsely has a calm dignity, which inspires respect. Smethurst displayed neither of these characteris tics. A short, rather thickset man, with brown hair, and somewhat bald, his expression betrayed none of those repulsive features which sometimes mark great criminals. In fact, even the sister of the poor murdered woman described him as a " kind and tender nurse, and with a countenance showing It is true that in addressing the court somewhat trembled, but at th e awful a h m is i voice abili amiability." mo ment after the verdict! of " guilty" had been pro nounced, and the judge had assumed the black cap, the man spoke with an audacious self-possession and a deliberate fluency of falsehood which con founded those who heard him. Towards the close of last year, Mr. and Mrs. Smethurst went to reside at the house of a Miss Smith, at Bar water. At this same house lived two ladies, Miss Louisa and Miss Isabella Bankes. Their connexions were respectable, and their pecu niary means, amounting to something above £2OO a year each, rendered them quite independent. Neither of the sisters was young ; Miss Isabella had reached the age of 43, and did not enjoy the best health. Although she was somewhat beyond the age of passi on , s h e seems to have conceived a liking for Dr. Smethurst, and in fact their conduct so scandalised Miss Smith that she insisted upon their leaving the house. It is not quite clear whether Miss Bankes knew that Smeth u rst was a married man, though having lived in the same house with hi m an d hi s wi f e , it is difficult to understand h er i gnoranc e of the fact. The pro bability is that Smethurst had persuaded Miss ( % - 4-t_' - - 1.--1,- -- 1 ~-2--t_-----,7,,, C /2 w•F'Z i 1 7:: : 7PA:11 , , ..../ c. ‘ ,6, ,-- ---- ) A. ~,, Bankes at the old lady above tlfil - ' ts ,';, k - . ll' -: ''' • \%\-,'" . real wif and this conjecture is seSer_fr2.'4 ~ -.,-, , that t ceremony of marriage and - Miss -- Bankes Ira s • perfor 4-14-jiii . r 4 .

Wheatley's until the end of last Mar c h, when the lady b ecame very ill . For SC AC:Hi ..:. Palligallky she had s u ff ere d f rom sickne s s and diarrhoea, but the disease was now se rous; moreover it appeared that the lady had be come pregnant. In fact it was necessary to call in a doctor, and after some. deliberation it was decided to summon Dr. Julius, the leading practitioner in Richmond. 11l as the - poor woman was, Smethurst himself was the only attendant. A nurse bad been suggested by the landlady, but Smethurst objected, . saying that he was too p oor ; though a t the very time he had a balance of some X2oo' at 'the Bank. On this affectionate quasi-husband, therefore, de volved all the disagreeable duties of the sick-room. The food was mixed and admini s t ere d b y his own hand; e chamber utensils were placed outside the bedroom door by his own hand. During the day no human being entered that room ' but Smethurst ; • during the night no human being sat by the bedside but Smethurst. Thecomplaint under which the poor woman suffered required, above all things, cleanliness and pure air, and this Smethurst as a medical man must have well known, and yet during the. Many weekS of illness "the bedroom was never thoroughly cleanedeut,"Though, indeed, the bed Was made by the landlady every day,. It was surely a strange fancy for a man with more than. £2OO at his banker's to insist upon'aoting the i nurse to a sick woman, . and performing all the most tender and disgusting offices. It was perhaps stranger still that, of all the varieties of rice, beef tea, blancmange, meal, coffee, and jelly, that en tered that bedroom, not one scrap —except some sour rice—ever came out again. If anything was mixed with the poor woman's food, no human being ever had an oppoatunity of tasting it. . Ac cording to Smethurst, indeed, his tender regard for Miss Bankes and his parsimony made him consume all the remnants. Nor is it surprising to find'that living upon this diet, with such fatigue Land under such anxiety, the•afllicted husband, as he told the jury in his parting address, should have lost in weight some sixteen pounds. It was on the sth of. April that Dr. Julius first saw the poor lady,- whom he took fur the wife of Smethurst. Having :learnt the - symptoms of the case from him, he prescribed certain remedies.--They gave no relief. They neither stopped the vomiting nor the diarrhoea. From the sth to the 18th he went on trying all sorts of prescriptions, but with out the slightest effect. At length, completely puzzled, he handed over the patient to his partner, Dr. Bird. His remedies equally failed. The dis ease relaxed not for a moment. Cases were ran sacked by various witnesses from the annals of medicine, but amidst all the anomalies of disease they searched in vain for a case in which no single symptom was abated a jot. At length Dr. Julius came to the conclusion that some drug was being administered to counteract the effect of the medi cines. Now that -drug was, in his opinion, some irritant poison. Dr. Bit d, after vainly attempting to stay the'disease; Came to the same conclusion. And upon comparing notes _it was found that both agreed; True, neither Dr. Julius nor Dr, Bird had ever seen the poor lady alone. Smethurst was him self always in the room, - and himself explained the symptoms. More medical advice was demanded, and the eminent Dr. Todd, of King's College llospital, was sent for.. He saw the patient, pre scribed for her; still the bad symptoms were un abated. Dr. Todd, therefore came to the mine conclusion with D r . J u li us an d Dr. Bird, that some thing was administered to counteract the effect of the ordinary medicines, and. that it must be some irritant poison. In short, if those experienced medical men were to be believed, this man alone in that wretched room in Alma-villas was daily and hourly with his own hands adminis• tering to the lips of the lonely woman, whose charactar he had destroyed, scientific doses of that subtle poison which was stealthily sapping her strength and drying up the sources of life and all this under the very eyes of three medical men, one of them at least of the highest reputation. But the end was drawing near. Once only had the sister of poor Isabella Bankes appeared. She came to see her sister about the 19th of April. But even then she was not permitted to do anything for the sick woman—not even to make her some 'Mane manger or arrow-root. In spite of her desire to come again, she was prevented by Smethurst ; and in fact it was only just before her death, and when she was speechless, thst she was again permitted to "see her. But the same day on which Smethurst wrote to Miss Bankes to Say that hei sisftsr was tOO weak to see her, he called on an attorney for the purpose of. getting a will prepared by which Miss Isabella Bankes was to leave him all her property. The poor woman, forsooth, could not see her sister, but she could see a strange attorney. The attorney came on the Sunday morning, and the will by which Smethurst obtained the whole property was exe cuted. It is worthy of remark that in this will Miss Bankes signs in her maiden name, and Smethurst told the attorney he was only living with her for a season. It was just in time, for on Tuesday, the 3d of May, the h e lpl ess victim died. In the meantime arsenic had been found in such a way as to prove that it had been deposited in the woman's body, and Smethurst was apprehended. At first he was released on his own recognisances, and, strangely enough, when his nursing care was withdrawn from the patient, the distressing symp toms ceased—her exhausted strength however was not to be revived. But the body was opened, and in it was discovered a certain quantity of antimony. Was it then a mixture of arsenic and antimony which this affectionate husband had been administering in that lonely bedroom in Richmond ? If it was it is difficult to conceive anything more cruelly heartless. Here was a married man inveigling away a weak woman from her sister and her friends going through the mockery of a marriage to quiet her scruples, and analysing the weakness of her con stitution until he discoversthe best means of putting her out of the way—and, then, in that solitary bed room at Richmond administering day by day the poisonous drugs in such proportions as should en sure death whilst he escaped detection. True, no doubt so long as poor Isabella Babnuktetn, so shehvedthere was the income £5,000 Consols;long as Mrs. Smethurst lived, there was .the danger of an indictment for bigamy, and, as it seemed, the additional danger of the birth of a child. What was to be done ? 'As Smethurst told the jury, his best plan would have been to have poisoned the old woman, but that was probab!y difficult and danger ous. Something must be done at once. Isabella Bankes was entirely in his hands. He reasoned with himself thus :—" Let her make a will, leaving me £1,700. Then let her die of poison, which I can administer—doses of arsenic and antimony—in such minute quantities that traces will not be dis covered. In this there is some chance of escape. But if I remain as 1 am, the sham marriage at Batter sea may be discovered, Isabella Bankes may become a mother, and then I may be indicted for bigamy, and be obliged to fly the country. It is better for me to poison the woman in secret—though if the crime be discovered I must stand the chance of an indictment for murder." The stakes were fearful. Smethurst played boldly and skilfully, but happily his prize is Death. FATAL ATTACK OF APOPLEXY AT A TABLE D' HOTE.—An English gentleman of advanced age, named Sanford, was suddenly seized on Friday last, whilst at the table d'hote at Meurice's, with an attack of paralysis and apoplexy. He was previously in good health, and was en gaged in a cheerful conver sa ti on with an American gentle man, when he dropped hi s k n if e and fork, and fell on the table in a state of insensibility. Dr. Shute, of the Rue Castiglione, was immediately sent for ; and afterwards Dr. Forbes Winslow, of London, a physician of well-known re putation for the treatment of diseases of the brain, who happened to be in Paris, was summoned to a consultation. Dr. Winslow considered the case to be a hopeless one, and Mr. Sandford died early on Sunday or mornin never having rallied. "Unfo rtunately he had no relations friends with him at the h o t e l , as he was travelling alone with a courier. hours after his Sev eral telegrams were i mme di ate l y sent t o England, but his family did no t arr i ve in Paris until some de ath.—Ga/ignane s Messenger. the election ELECTION EXPENSES. —Yesterday . . mourrea Messrs.
