I have none of those youthful recollections which, contrasting her early days with her present life, aggravate the misery of the latter. My parents did not give me any education ; they did not instil into my mind virtuous precepts nor set me a good example. All my experiences In early life were gleaned among associates who knew nothing of the laws of God but by dim tradition and faint report, and whose chiefest triumphs of wisdom consisted in picking their way through the paths of destitution in which they were cast by cunning evasion or in open defiance of the laws of man. I do not think of my parents (long in their graves) with any such compunctions as your correspondent describes. They gave me in their lifetime, according to their means and knowledge, and as they had probably received from their parents, shelter and protection, mixed with curses and caresses. I received all as a matter of course, and, knowing nothing better, was content in that kind of con tentedness which springs from insensibility ; I returned their affection in like kind as they gave it to me. As long as they lived I looked np to them as my parents. I assisted them in their poverty, and made them com fortable. They looked on me and I on them with pride, for I was proud to be able to minister to their wants ; and as for shame, although they knew perfectly well the means by which I obtained money, I do assure you, sir, that by them, as by myself, my success was regarded as the reward of a proper ambition, and was a source of real pleasure and gratifica tion. Let me tell you something of my parents. My father's most profitable occupation w.ts brickmaking. When not employed at this he did anything he could get to do. My mother worked with him in the brickfield, and so did land a progeny of brothers and sisters; for somehow or other, although my parents occupied a very unimportant space in the world, it pleased God to make them fruitful. We all slept in the same room. There were few privacies, few family secrets in our house. Father and mother both loved drink. In the household expenses, bad accounts been kept, gin and beer would have been the heaviest items. We, the children, were indulged occasionally with a drop, but my honoured parents re served to themselves the exclusive privilege of getting drunk, " and they were the same as their parents hail been." I give you a chapter of the history of o3minon life which may be stereotypedas the history of generation upon generation. We kne;sf not anything of religion. Sometimes when a neighbour died we wen t t o th e b ur i a l , an d th us go t wi thin a few steps of the church. If a grand funeral chanced to fall in our way we went to see that, too—the fine black horses and nodding pinmes —as we went to see the soldiers when we could for a lark. No parson ever came near us. The place where we lived was too dirty for nicely-shod gentlemen. " The Publicans and Sinners" of our ci!cum sclibed, but thickly-populated locality had no " friend" among them. Our neighbourhood furnished many subjects to the tread mill, the hulks, and the colonies, and some to the gallows. We lived with the fear of these things, and not with the fear of God before our eyes. I was a vet) , pretty child, and had a sweet voice ; of course I used to sing. Most London boys girls of the lower classes sing. "My face is my fortune, kind sir, she said," was the ditty oa which I bestowed most pains, and my father and mother would wink knowingly as I sang it. The latter would also tell me how pretty she was when young, and how she sang, and what a fool she had been, and how well she might have done had she been wise. Frequently wo had quite a stir in our colony. Some young lady who had quitted the paternal restraints, or per haps, been started off, none knew whither or how, to seek her fortune, would reappear among us with a profusion of ribands, fine clothing, and lots of cash. Visiting the neigh- , hours, treating indiscriminately, was the order of the day on such occasions, without any more definite information of the means by which the dazzling transformation had been effected than could be conveyed by knowing winks and the words "luck" and "friends." Then she would disappear and leave us in our dirt, penury, and obscurity. You cannot conceive, sir, how our y oung ambition was stirred by these visitations. Now commences an important era in my life. I was a fine, robust, healthy girl, 13 years of age. I had larked with the boys of my own age. I had huddled with them, boys and girls together, all night long in our common haunts. I had seen much and beard abundantly of th e mysteries of the sexes. To me such things had been matters of common sight and common talk. For some time I bad trembled and coquetted on the verge of a strong c ur i os it y, and a natural desire, and without a particle of affection, scarce a par, iality, I lost —what? not my virtue, for I never had any. That which is commonly, but untruly called virtue, I gave away. You reverend Mr. Philanthropist—what call you virtue? Is it not the principle, the essence, which keeps watch awl ward over the conduct, over the substance, the materiality? No such principle ever kept watch and ward ov er mo, and I repeat that I never lost that which I never had —my virtue. According to my own ideas at the time I only extended my rightful enjoyments. Opportunity was not long want ing to put my newly-acquired knowledge to profitable use. In the commencement of my fifteenth year one of our be ribanded visitors took me off, and introduced me to the great world, and thus commenced my career as what you better classes call a prostitute. I cannot say that I felt any other shame than the b:.shfulness of a noviciate introduced to stran ge society. R emar k a bl e f o r good look s , an d no l ess so for good temper, I gained money, dressed gaily, and soon agreeably astonished my parents and old neighbours by making a descent upon them. Passing over the vicissitudes of my course, alternating between reckless gaiety and extreme destitution, I im proved myself greatly ; and at the age of 18 was living partly under the protection of one who though he discovered that I had talent, and some go od qualities as well a., beauty, w h o treated me more kindly and considerately than 1 had ever before been treated, and thus drew from me something lik e a feeling of regard , ' but not sufficiently strong to lift me to that sense of my position which the:so., sailed virtuous And respectable members of society seem to LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 25, 1858: MENTAL INLAND STEAM COMPANY (Limited).

CHARLES LEWIi GRUNEISEN, Secretary. entertain. Under the protecti on of this gentleman, and encouraged by him, I commenced the work of my educa tion ; that portion of education which is comprised in some knowledge of my own language and the ordinary accom plishments of my sex; —moral science, as I believe it is called, has always been an enigma to, and is so to this day. I suppose it i s b ecause I am one of those who, as Rousse au says, are " b orn t o b o prosti tutes." Common honesty I esayi haveit , have not always believe in r i g idl y. I have always paid my debts, and, though reatur s I . neglected my y charitable du ty t o m to y f my ara f i el family .o supported my parents while they lived, and buried them decently when they died. I paid a celebrated lawyer heavily for defending unsuccessfully my eldest brother, wheeled the folly to be caught in the commission of a robbery. I forgave him the offence against the law in the theft, and the offence against discretion in being caught. This cost me some effort, for I always abhorred stealing. I apprenticed my younger brother to a good trade, and helped him into a little businees. Drink frustrated my efforts in his behalf. Through the influence of a very in fluential gentleman, a-very particular friend of mine, he is now a well-conducted member of the police. My sisters, whose early life was in all, respects the counterpart of my cswn, I brought out, and started in the world. The elder of the two it kept by a nobleman, the next by en officer in the army, the third heti not yet to years of discretion, and i s " having her fling" before she settles down. Now, what if I am a prostitute, what business has so ciety to abuse me ? Have I received any favours at the y of the di sease to be sought in the rottenness not t ud th s e of e: s L o u e s i c e s t ? If I a na a hid eous cancer in society, are of the carcass ? Am I not its legitimate child : no bast ar d, sir? 'Why doesmy unnatural parent repudiate me, and what has society ever done for me, that I should do any thing for it, and what have I ever done against society that it should drive me into a corner and crush me to the earth? I have neither stolen (at least not since I was a child), nor murderedonr defrauded. I earn my money and pay my way, and try to do good with iteotecertling to ray- Mesa of good. Ido not get drunk, nor fight, nor create uproar in the streets or out of them. Ido not use bad language. I go to the opera, Igo to Almack's, I go to the theatres, I I go to quiet, well-conducted casinos, I go to all places of public amusement, behaving myself with as much pro priety as society can exact. I pay business visits to my tradespeople, the most fashionable of the West-end. My milliners, my silk-mercers, my bootmakers know, all of them, who I am and how I live, and they solicit my pa tronage as earnestly and cringingly as if I were Madam, the ]ady of the right rev. patron of the Society for the Suppression of Vice. They find my money as good and my pay better (for we are robbed on every hand) than that of Madam, my Lady; and, if all the circumstances and conditions of our lives had been reversed, would Madam, my Lady, have done better or been better than I ? I speak for others as well as for myself, for the very great majority, nearly all of the real undisguised prosti tutes in London, spring from my class, and are made by and under pretty much such conditions of life as I have narrated, and particularly by untutored and unrestricted intercourse ofthe sexes in early life. We come from the dregs of s ,ciety, as our so-called betters term it. What business has society to have dregs— such dregs as we ? You railers of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, you the pious, the moral, the respectable, as you call your selee s, who stand on your smooth awl pleasant side of the great gulf you have dug and keep between yourselves and the dregs, why don't you bridge it over, or fill it up, and ebsorb us i n t o y our nte rpenetrated with goodness some n eedm like yourselves ? Why st an d on your eminence leavened humane as and until generous we become proc ess shouting that we should b 3 ashamed of ourselves ? What have we to be ashamed of, we who do not know what shame is—the shame you mean ? I conduct myself pru dently, and defy you and your policem n too. Why stand you there mouthing with sleek face about morality What is morality ? Will you make us responsible for what we never knew ? Teach us what is right and tutor us in good before you punish ns for doing wrong. We who are the real prostitutes , of the true natural growth of society, and no impostors, will not be judged by "One more Unfortunate," nor measured by any standard of her setting up. She is a mere chance intruder in our ranks, and has no business there. She does understand what shame means and knows all about it, at least so it seems , and, if she has a particle left, let her accept " Amicus's" kind offer as soon as possible. Like "One more Unfortunate" there are other intruders among us —a few, very few, " victims of seduction." But seduction is not the root of the evil —scarcely a fibre of the root. A rigorous law should be passed and rigorously carried out to punish seduction, but it will not perceptibly thin the ranks of prostitution. Seduction is the common story of numbers of well brought up, who never were se duced, and who are voluntary and inexcusable profligates. Vanity and idleness send us a large body of recruits. Ser vant girls, who wish to ape their mistresses' finery, and whose wages won't permit them to do so honestly —these set up seduction as their exc u s e . M arr i e d women, who have no respect for their husbands, an d are no t con t ent with their lawful earplugs, these are the worst among us, and it is a pity they cannot be picked out and punished. They have no principle of any kind and are a disgrace to us. If I were a married woman I would be tine to my husband. I speak for my class, the regular standing army of the force. Gentlemen of philanthropic societies anti members of the Society for the Suppression of Vice may build reforms, tories and open houses of refuge and Magdalen asylums, and " Amicus" may save occasionally a " fallen sister,' who can prevail on herself to be saved:; but we who nasar were sisters—who never had any relationship, part, interest, or communion with the large fasuily of this world's virtues, moralities, and properties,—we, who are not fallen, but were always down,—who never had any virtue to lose,—we who are the natural growth of things, and aro constantly ripening for the bar vest,—who, interspersed in our little, but swarming colo nies throughout the kingdom at large, hold the source of supply and keep it fruitful,--what do they propose to do with us ? Cannot society devise some plan to reach us ? "One more Unfortunate" proposes a "skimming" pro cess. But what of the great bubbling cauldron ? Remove from the streets a score or two of " foreign women," and " double as many English," and you diminish the compe tition of those that remain ; the quiet, clever, cunning cajolers described by " One snore Unfortunate." You hide a prurient pimple of the " great sin" with a patch of that plaster known as the "observance of propriety," and no thing more. You " miss" the evil, but it is existent still. After all it is some t h i ng to save the eye from offence, to remove them; and not only a score or two, but something like 200 foreign women, whose open and disgusting inde cencies and practices have contributed more than anything else to bring on our heals the present storm of indignation. It is rare that English women, even prostitutes, give cause of gross public offence. C annot they be pac k e d o ff t o th e i r own countries, with thei r base, filthy, and filthy - looking men, whom they maintai n , and clothe, and feed, to super intend their fortunes, and w h o are a still grea t er di sgrace to London than these wo men are ? Hurling big figures at us, it is said that there are 80,000 of us in London alone—which and of this 80,000, poor hard-working alone—which i s a mons t ro us falsehood- - are numbered in by th ousands and called indiscriminately irls, prostitutes : writin g , preaching, speechifying, that they have lost their virtu e t oo , s ewing women, It is a cruel calumny to call them in mass prostitutes; and, as for their virtue, they lose it as one loses his watch who is robbed by the highway thief. Their virtue is the watch, and society is the thief. These poor women toiling on starvation wages, while Penury, misery, and famine clutch them by the th roat and say, " Render up your body or die." Admire this magnifi cent shop in this fashionable street ; its front, fittings, and d ecorations cost not less than a thousand pounds. Th e respectable master of the establish ment keeps his carriage, and lives in his country-house. He has daughters to o ; patronesses are fine ladies, the choicest impersonati ons of society. Do they think, as they admire the tast e and elegance of that tradesman's show, of the poor cr ea t ures who wrought it, sad of what they were paid for it? D o they reflect on the weary toiling fingers, on the ey es dim with watching, on the bowels yearning with hun ger, on the bended frames, on the broken constitution s , on poor human nature driven to its coldest corner and re d uced to its narrowest means in the production of these luxuries and adornments ? This is an old story ! Would it not be truer and more charitable to call these poor than"victims prostitute—to soften by some Chris tian expression, if you cannot better the un-Christian sys tem, the opprobrium of a fate to which society has itself driven them by the direst straits? What business has so ciety to point its finger in scorn, and to raise its voice in reprobation of them ? Are they not its children, born of its id c e old indifference, of its call ous selfishness, of its cruel pr ? Sir. I have trespassed on your patience beyond limit, and yet much remains to be said, which I leave for further communication if you think proper to insert this. The difficulty of dealing with the evil is not so great as society considers it. Setting aside " the sin," we are not so bad as we are thought to be. The difficulty is for society to set itself, with the necessary earnestness, self-h umiliation, and self-denial to the work. But of this hereafter. To deprive us of proper and harmless amusem ents—to eubject us in mass to the pressure of force, of force wielded for the most part, by ignorant, and often by brutal men---is only to ersecution to add the cruelty of active p the cruelty of the passive indifference which made us what eye are. pleasureofindigestion indig w e e notice the daily [ increaseDVzß o T f l e S i E ir M e E s N w t i l t — ho l u t i without medicine s (dy s p e psia), flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, a n d liver corn plaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and d e bi lity, by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica.

When I began taking the Revalenta I was in as deplorable a condition aS can well be imagined. I was confined to my b e d , and so weak that I could neither stand nor walk, su ff er i ng severely from flatulency, constipation, and ; - .adigestion, and being compelled to have recourse to aperients every second or third day; and, upon one occasion, I swallowed no less than seven doses within twenty-eight hours, under medical advice. There was a giddiness in my head, and a pillow in my right ear, that when I turned my head on the il it resembled the sound produced by a light touch on a. musical glass. I had a slight and cough;sot of fulluess across the chest, a sore throat, and ag g but the pain around my loins was so great that I could , not remain in the same position for ton tninutes all night long, The principal seat of the pain seemed to be just below the ribs on my left side, and about three inches from the backbone. I commenced taking Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica morning and evening, boiled in water and salt ; and in less than a fortnight my appetite was great l y improved, and flatulency and constipation so far vanished that I have not tasted a pill or drug o f any kind since. I am much stronger, can walk steadier, and less like a drunken man, &c.—JeliN Vass, Land -st eward. - -- Supported by testimonials f ro m the following celebrated Pro fessors of Chemistry: Dr. A.

THE CAMPAIGN IN MAL WA. (From. the Bombay Government Gazette.) (No. 47 of 1858.) The Right Hon. the Governor in Council has very great satisfaction in publishing, for the information of the army, the following report made to his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief by Brigadier Stuart, commanding the Malwa Field Forte (now let Brigade Nerbudda Field Force), of his successful operations againet the insurgents assembled near Mundisore, during four days, from the 21st to the 24th November last. (No. 201 of 1857.) From Brigadier Stuart, Commanding Malwe Field Force, to the Adjutant-General of the Army, Bombay. Sir,—With reference to my telegrams of the 25th and 26th inst., I have now the honour to for ward the reports and to communicate, for the informatien of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, full particulars of the successful operations in which the Malwa Field Force and the field force Hyderabad Contingent, under commasd of Major Orr, were engaged on the 21st, 22d, 23d, and 24th inst., against the rebel enemy in the vicinity of Mundisore. 2. On the morning of the 21st November this force, accompanied by the field force Hyderabad Contingent which, as I have already reported, is co-operating with me—under command of Major Orr, arrived within three miles and a-half of Mundisore about 9 a.m., and, as I had no good information as to the roads or the country in the immediate vicinity of the town, neither as to the fords of the river Sowna, which it was necessary to cross before reaching the town, I determined upon en camping until a good reconnaissance bad been effecned. The rebel army at Mundisore, hearing of our approach, had - pnetent - piekeerverrtirely covering the country over which we were advancing, and, observing our pickets thrown out, they mustered in some force outside the walls of the to wn,.and appeared inclined to attack. I, however , contented myself with r e info rc i ng th e pickets, and leaving the whole charge of the front to Makr Robertsor, 25th Regiment of Native Infantry. The field-officer of the day returned to camp about 3 o'clock p.m. I received intimation from him that the enemy were advancing in force, and threatening both our flanks and centre at the same time. I accord ingly moved out to meet them ; they advanced steadily with banners filing, and appeared in great numbers. On approaching our right front, however, they were most gallantly charged by Lieut. Dew, her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons, who, with some of his men, occupied that ground as a picket, Captain Orr, commanding 3d Regiment Cavalry, Hyderabad Contingent, supported. Lieut. Dew, and the enemy were driven back with great loss ; and before our guns, which had quickly moved up, could open upon them, the attack on our centre was repuled by a few rounds of our artillery, while that on the left was euceesafully met by the field force under Major Orr. The enemy having been thus driven hack at all points were pursued for some dietanoc—in fact, until they nearly reached the walls of the town—and nething further occurred that day. 3. Having received intelligence from the Governor- General's agent that the portion of the r•bel army before Neemuch, amounting to about 5,000, would probably raise the siege of that place, and endeavour to effect a junction with their head-quarters at Mundisore, I de termined to frustrate this by intercepting them. Ac cordingly, early on the morning of the 22d inst. I moved forward my force in order of battle. Our advance was unopposed, and on my left flank reaching the village of Kuljepore I made a flank movement to the left, as previously determined on, leaving the advance guard to cover it, and to reinforce the rear guard, as we crossed the Bekri ford of the river Sowna, about 1,400 yards to the south-west of the town of Mun disore. Thus secured, the movement was safely effected, epposed only by a slight and ineffective fire from a gun on one of the south-west bastions of the town. I then encamped, facing the west of the town. by flanks well protected by the two branches of the river, and my line running at right angles to the right of Sir Thos. Hidlop's camp in 1817. Just previous to the camp being marked out it was reported that cavalry were sent on the left, and Major Orr, taking the let Cavalry, Hyderabad Con tingent, under Capt. Abbott, and 4th Cavalry Hydera bad Contingent, under Capt. Murray, saw about 300 horse, supposed to be under Heera Sing, endeavouring to draw them off in a north-westerly direction, but keep ing at too great a distance to allow of being attacked. Reinforcements of cavalry were sent for, and while the left wing, her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons, under Capt. Gall, and the 3d Cavalry Hyderabad Contingent, under Lieut. Clerk, were moving up, intelligence was brought to Major Orr that Heera Sing'e baggage had just left the village of Goraria, on the Neernuch-road. The object of Heera Sing's party to draw our cavalry away from his baggage thus being apparent, her Majes ty's 14th Light Dragoons, the let Cavalry Hyderabad Contingent, and the 4th Cavalry Hyderabad Contingent, galloped off in pursuit, the 31 Cavalry Hyderabad . Con tingent remaining as a reserve. They caught up the enemy about two miles south of Peeplia, and after cut ting up' about 200 of them halted at a nnllah a mile to the south of that village. On perceiving it strongly occupied by the enemy's infantry, who showed many standards, they then returned to camp. 4. Feeling assured that the infantry seen in Peeplia farmed the advance guard of the enemy, I moved at 8 o'clock a.m, oa the 23d inst, by my left, and crossed the northern branch of the river Serena. I then halted my column and collected all my baggageon the reveres flank then moving on to my proposed camp on the Neemuch and Mundisore read, ready to oppose the enemy either from one or the other direction. On coming en to the ground the enemy appeared in great force to the north, baggage to be collected on a strong mound, I sti lonely reinforced my rear guard and proceeded to meet them After a short advance I formed line to my front, facing northwards, and found the enemy occupying a very strong position with their right in and beyond the vil lage of Gorsria, their right centre covered by a date nullala and lines of date trees, their battery of six guns cn rising ground, with a large mud hut protecting their gunners, and their left stretched along the ridge running east from the village. My line advanced, covered by skirmishers ; the enemy's infantry, with banners flying (many of them green), moved down to meet us through the intermediate fields of high jowarree, and their guns opened fire. I immediately halted my line and replied to the fire with Cept. liungerford's and Woolcombe's batteries, at a range of about 900 yards. After a few rounds I again advanced the line, and permitted Capt. Hungerford to move his half-battery io a position on our right front, from which he could enfilade the enemy. After an advance of about 300 yards our line was again halt ed, and firing resumed, that from both batteries being very effective. A most gallant charge was then made on the enemy's guns by the escort of her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons, attached to Capt. Hungerford, under Lieut. Martin, who found, however, that the position was still very strongly held by the enemy's infantry, and was compelled to retire, he himself being very severely wounded. Copt. Hungerford's half-battery was again advanced to within 100 yards, and after a round or two of grape the guns were at once again charged and cap tured, the enemy flying in great numbers into the village to their right. The 3d Regiment Cavalry Hyderabad Contingent, under Captain S. Orr, was just at this mo ment rapidly advancing by our right front, and having been wheeled to the left, it swept down upon them in their retreat and killed great numbers. Our line then changed front about the eighth of a circle, right thrown forward, and moved steadily on the village, which evidently held great numbers of the enemy ; their skirmishers disputed our advance, but were soon driven back. Having halted within about 300 yards of the village, our artillery opened upon it with shot and shell, after which I directed the infantry to advance and carry it. The men of the 86th and 25th Regiments dashed forward in the most gallant manner, and having entered the village, commenced to drive all before them. They soon met, however, with very warm opposition, the enemy having taken possession in great force of many houses, from which a most harassing fire was kept up on our men. Under these circumstances, and as, moreover, I could get no satisfactory accounts of what was passing in my rear, which I knew from the firing I heard, as also from the pressing applications I had received for reinforcement, had been warmly engage 3, I recalled the infantry and posted strong pickets all round the village, and moved the remainder of the men a short distance off to where the baggage had been passed up from the rear. I then learnt that during the after noon, when we were hotly engaged in the front, a strong body of the enemy from Mundisore attacked our rear, and endeavoured to carry off the siege train, baggage, die. ; they were, however, most gallantly repulsed on every occasion. In one of these attacks I regret to say that Lieutenant Redmayne, her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons, was killed while most bravely leading his men against the enemy. Notwithstanding the many attempts made by the enemy to press upon and harass our rear, it gives me great satisfaction to be able to state that not a particle of baggage was lost, nor a follower injured. On this occasion Lieutenant Leitb, command• ing a squadron 14th Light Dragoons, appears to have done good vervice ; as also Lieutenant Fenwick, 25th Regiment of Native Infantry, in charge of the baggage. Gunner Maitland, of the Bengal Artillery, and Gunner Thomson, of the Bombay Artillery, also distinguished tberneelves by assisting to work the heavy guns most effectively against the enemy. 5. On the 24th inst., I arranged with Captain Hungerford, commandant of Artillery, that the village of Goraria, in which the rebels had taken ref uge, should be well shelled and a it about noon, again ass aulted by the infantry. Accordingly I moved p_ and found that the enemy were :ts u a i t had left left them the few bad precedingnearlyexcepting e at tempted to evening, escapeof whom were !tired Alter a heavy fire of three hours duration the detach ment of Q. 14.'s 86th, under command of Major Keane, and the 25th Native Infantry, under Major Robertson, again stormed the village and carried it, killing great numbers of the enemy, they themselves also suffering se verely. At sunset I withdrew the troops, i n t er d ing to move against the fort of Mundisore the text day. Early, however, on the morning of the 25th inst., intel- Fgenee reached me that the enemy had during the eight completely evacuated Mundisore, and wer• battered in flight throughout the country in vari, us dir Aar no, having lost, it is computed, about 1,500 of tl sir number during our operations against them. I accordingly re moved my camp to Mundisore, and am now engaged in The 26th half-yearly ordinary meeting of the pro prietors of this company was held yesterday, pur suant to notice, at the Great Western Hotel, Pad dington, Mr. C. R. M. Talbot being in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, expressed his regret that although the gross receipts of the company for the last year had been 358,0001., yet that out of that sum only 82,000/. found its way into the pockets of the shareholders. There were however, several caus es w hi c h d ur i ng the last half-year had con ti ibuted to affect in a peculiar manner the general traffic of the company. The first of those causes to which he should allude was the unfortunate " strike" which had ta!ien place among t"e colliers in Glamorganskire, and which had led to a serious filling off in the mineral traffic over the line. The next cause was to be found in the expense attendant upon relaying the line ie the neighbourhood of Swansea at a cost of 20,0001., of which sum 5,0001. had been apportioned upon the last half-year, thereby causing a considerable decrease in the dividends for that period. He might also observe that the unfortunate accident which had occurred near Pyle station on the 14th of October last, and which had resulted in the loss of several lives, had led to the necessity for compensation upon the part of the company being made to no less than 60 persons at au expense of 6,000/. A great many suggestions had been made to the directors, with a view of providing a remedy against the recurrence of such accidents for the future, and they had come to the conclusion that, as it was proved those accidents were to be attri buted to the risk which was run through mistakes made in sending telegraphic messages, regulations should be made which would take all responsibility off the telegraph, and that written messages should be despatched and written answers received before any train set out on a wrong line. Having said thus with regard to the dark side of the picture, he should advert to the brighter aspect which the other side presented, and say a few words upon the future prospects of the company. The directors were in expectation of receiving vary shortly the award of Capt. Galton, who had been n om i na t e d as umpire, to determine el amount to be allowed to the Great Western Railway Company for the sup ply of rolling stock, and they hoped that they would be enabled thenceforward to work the line at a reduced expense, while they at the same time did not hold out the prospect that any very large sav ing could be effected. He had upon many previous occasions alluded to the apparent difference of the cost of locomotion on the South Wales as compared with other lines. He had, indeed, consulted seine of the greatest locomotive authorities upon the subject, but without being able to receive any satisfactory answer to his inquiri d es ; b nor somuch could he explain why the expense should greater in the case of the South Wales than in that of the South-Western Railway. All improvement might, however, be effected in that respect, and the subject was one which ought, in his opinion, to enter into the ca lculations of Capt. Galton or any o th e r arbitrator. Anothe r in working the affairs oft hsource e company of improvement would be the holding of the meetings, if not of the Board, at all e vents of the traffic committees, in Wales. (Hear.) The company had, it was true, no other railway to compete with their line, but they must bear in mind that so long as the sea was open as a highway to the trader and that he could transport his goods in vessels at a somewhat smaller cost than by rail way he would continue to do so. Let the slightest advantage, however, in the scale of expense be on the side of the railway, and he would at once make use of it, and having used would not fail for the fu ture to avail himself of the advantages which it af forded. He (the chairman) might mention that the traffic of the company, in what was called in Wales thesteana-coal trade, was very trifling in amount, and he sh uld put it to the meeting whether it wes not a question worthy of serious consideration whe ther traffic committees could not be appointed to meet in Wales for the purpose of organising a trade in that quarter ? There was also another subject which was well entitled to the attention of the company; he alluded to the traffic with Ireland. Large quantities of goods were every day being sent over here from that country, and under these cir cumstances he saw no reason why a daily pa , ket service between Milford and Waterford should not pay well. The only difficulty which stood in the way of such a service was that of procuring t co specu lators to establish a sufficient number of st e [PRIOJ 4D. .STAmpED 5D .] dismantling the fort, destroying the guns, &c., before leaving this neighbourhood. 6. By the successful operation, of the Malwa field force and field force Hyderabad Contingent in the vicinity of Mundisore, the Neemuch garrison has been relieved iron; the assault with which it was threatened ; the in surgent rebels have been dispersed from their strong hold, in which for months past they have been daily collecting all those•difaffected to our rule, and peace and order will now, it is to be hoped, be re-established in these districts. 7. I must now, in conclusion, place on record my grateful acknowledgment, to Col. Durand, officiating agent to the Governor-General for Central India, for his cordial assistance to me on all occasions. He was present in the field throughout the operations, and gave me the benefit of his advice, which proved of great service to me ; Major Orr, commanding field force Hy derabad Contingent, most ably co-operated with mo on all occasions ; and to him and all under his command lam very much indebted. To Major Boileau, field engineer, and his assietante, Lioute. Prendergast, severely wounded, and Gordon ; to Capt. M a y ne , intelli gence department ; to Capt. Coey, major of brigade ; to Lieut. Macdonald, deputy assistant quartermaster general ; to Lieut. Thain, sub-assistant commissary general ; and to Surgeon Mackenzie, staff-surgeon —my warmest thanks are due. The assistance rendered me by these officers left me nothing to wish for. A perusal of the report made by Captain Gall, commanding left wing of her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons, will convey to his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief some ide3of the good service performed by all ranks under his com mand. I most fully concur in Captain Gall's report, and beg to commend to the consideration of his Excellency all the officers and men mentioned by him. Of Captain Gall himself I must in justice add that a r_.nre able, zealani; 'arid hardworking officer I /Inv° never met with, nor one more worthy of distinction, Of Captain Orr, 3i Regiment Cavalry Hyderabad Contingent, and all the officers and men under his command, I have already had reason to send t ie most favourable report to the Resident at Hyderabad. On this last occasion, nothing could surpass the bravery shown by all ranks of this regiment, and Captain Orr himself is, I consider, a first rate cavalry officer ; his daring courage is admired by all, and in every affair in which he is engaged his per sonal combats are most prominent features. To Capt. Hungerford, Commandant of Artillery, Malwa field force ; and to Captain Woolcombe, commanding No. 4 light field battery, and the officers and men under their command, nay best thanks are due. I do not think artillery practice could have been better, and there can be but little doubt that the successful issue of operations is much to be attributed to their assistance. Of the conduct of Captain Brown and the officers and men of the B Company Madras Sappers acd Miners I have much pleasure in speaking in the highest terms ; whether as Sappers or as Infantry they have distinguished themselves on every occasion. They have undergone an incredible amount of hard labour during our late march with a siege. train over a country without roads ; nor must I omit to mention that they accompanied the starming parties into the village of Goraria, and proved of the greate-at service. My best thanks are also due to Major Keane, and the officers and men of the deta,chmeet of her Majesty's• 86th Regiment. The ga'lautry of all ranks was most c ,nspicu- One, and on both occasions that the village was assaulA the coolness and daring of the officers and men, at whose head Major Keane placed him-elf, elicited the pra.se of ail. My deepatch from Dhar will have ma le his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief aware of the very high opinion I hold of Major Robertsor, and the officers and wan of the 25th Regiment N.I , during the late operations ; nothing could hare been finer tban the behaviour of all th s regiment. Major Robertson distinguished himself on the 21st inst. as field officer of the day in the attack made upon him in force on the afternoon of that day. During the succeeding days Major Robertson rendered me the greatest assistance. The manner in which he led his regiment on two occasions to storm the village of Goraria is beyond praise, and I-, ' consider that the admirable conduct of the 25th Regi e ment N I. fully attests the worth of this offieer, who will, I hope, meet with s nne mark of distinction. In the praise conveyed to Captain Little, 25th Regiment N. 1., by his commanding officer, I quite concur, and trust that his Excellency may be able to grant some mark of favour to this deserving officer. In the two attacks:on the village of Goraria I could see no difference between the conduct of the men of the 25th Regiment N.I. and their comrades of H.M.'s 86th Regiment ; the same daring and gallantry characterised both. Their list of casualties will show how warmly they were en• gaged, and I trust his Excellency will recognise the merits of this regiment. Before closing the despatch I beg to report on the admirable conduct of Assistant- Surgeon Butler, 4th Company 21 battalion Artillery, who, during the engagement on the 23d instant, though suffering severely from sickness, left his docley, and was engaged in the most active manner during the whole day in assisting to administer comfort to the wounded, The conduct of this officer has been brought to my notice by tbe'staff-surgeon of the farce, and will, I trust, meet with some reward.--I have the honour to be, &c., C.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at Leeds. Mr. H. Alcock presided. The report stated that the receipts for the half year ending December last amounted to 26,9731., and the expenses to 14,3591., leaving a balance of 12,6141. After payment of the interest on loaus, preference shares, and other debts, the total sum available for divid€nd was 4,0941. ; and the direc tors recommended a dividend of 2s. per share. The CHAIRRA.N . , in moving the adoption of the report, said the shareholders had reason to =gra. tulate themsel yes that the North-Western Company had been enabled to hold their position through the, late monetary difficulties, and that there bad been a little increase in the gross receipts for the half yeir. A sum of 13,0001. had been expended in Parliamentary proceedings, but the directors would be more than recompensed for that outlay by re ceiving a sum of money from the Lancaster and Carlisle Company for the value of land and works belon4ing to the North-Western Companynorth of Ingleton, which had been lying deal for some time. The sum had been fixed at 16,5351., and the Lan c , sttr and Carlisle Company had been furnished with an account, and the money was due on the 25th inst. The Lancaster and Carlisle Company had not yet taken any active steps towards the construc tion of the new lice, owing to the unfavourable state of the money-market, but be believed it was intended to commence operations immediately. Mr. H. J. HARE seconded the adoption of the report, , which was carried. The two retiring directors, Mr. Hare and Mr. Burkill, -were re-elected. Mr. Frost, the retiring auditor, was unanimously re elected, and after a vote of thanks to the chair man the proceedings terminated. BIDEFORD. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, Gresham-house, Old Broad-street ; Mr. J. Sharland in the chair. The SECRETARY read the report, which -stated that the traffic returns for the year 1857 exhibited an increase in traffic from 96,825 passengers in 1856 to 98,267 passengers in 1857 ; and the gross re ceipts from 2,8367. in 1856 to 2,9431. in 1857, Maintaining a steady but gradual increase. The unpaid shares and arrears of calls remained as before, amounting to 18,3211. The liabilities on the first-cost account had been gradually reduced by the rent earned (exclusive of the unadjusted claims of the contractor), and would be altogether discharged in the current year, when the rent would become available for equal dis tribution without preference by the provisions of the act of Parliament. The capital account showed that 47,2151 had been received and 50,9441. ex - pendel, leaving a balance against the company of 3,7294. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,' said the award in respect to the contractors' claims , had not yet been made by Mr. Tito, but he believel they would be able in the course of the year to settle all claims on the company out of revenue, and next year they would have a dividend. Mr. Brassey would take shares in the company for the balance due to him, so that after the present year the shareholders would be in receipt of a divi dt-nd. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, re-electing Mr. W. Cory, Captain D. Warren, and Mt. T. L. Pridham, the retiring directors, and also Mr. J. Thompson, the retiring auditor.

Upwards of 40 miles of the line were now open for traffic, and, though as yet th e li ne en d e d i n a forest, a small profit was obtained. By next July it was antici pated that 65 miles of the line would be open, and the remaining portion of 20 miles was under con tract, and would be completed in the spring of 1859. The chairman concluded by moving the re election of Messrs. Featherstone, Sharp, and Dunt, the retiring directors Mr. DowLMAN seconded the resolution, which was agreed to.
