Perhaps it is not generally known that Lord Clyde's father lives, and still enjoys excellent health, in the salubri ous climate of Bunessan. Miss Campbell often left, for a short time, London's gay society to visit her parent in his Hebridean retreat; but this time she unexpectedly arrived and gladdened the old gentleman's heart by informing him that it was her intention to remain with him during his life time. We understand that she has taken a quiet rural villa near Edinburgh, where we have no doubt she will affection ately attend him during his life, and close his eyes in death. Miss Campbell has been separated from her parent from in fancy, and brought up amongst her mother's friends. She also spent many years of her life in London, and it speaks much for her filial regard and tenderness thus to constitute herself her father's nurse in his old age. The old gentleman is highly respected in this country, not only for his being the pro genitor of the gallant general, but also for his many good qualities. The villagers will greatly miss the pleasant smile and friendly greeting of the kind-hearted old man, and the poor and needy will have lost a generoua benefactor. We understand that it is his intention, before leaving, to place in the hands of the inspector, Mr. Graham, a handsome supply of clothing, and also some money for the use of the poor. The old gentleman has now lived upwards of 30 years in Mull, and in leaving it he carries with him the respect and good-will of old and young, rich and poor, who bad the honour of his acquniutance.—Glavoto Daily IEB 163 118 12!

The 27th half-yearly general meeting of proprietors was held yesterday at the London Tavern—Mr. G. P. Biddle in the chair. The notice convening the meeting having been read, the following report, which had been circulated among the shareholders, was, on the suggestion of the Chairman, taken as read. vas engineer of this company, I made it my business to go into the question of traffic—of what was the value of the traffic we brought on to the Eastern Counties system, and at that time it was from £120,000 to £130,000 per annual. We know now that the general traffic of the Eastern Counties Company has more than doubled between that period and the present, and that the Norfolk system has participated fully in that increase; that instead of that £120,000 to £130,000, the amounts which we now contribute to the Eastern Counties must be considerably upwards of £200,000, be sides the traffic realised upon our own line. Let me ask you to consider what would have been our position, having a large traffic on our own line, and the control of the traffic contributive to the Eastern Counties line to this extent of £200,000, if we had sent it elsewhere. We have lived long enough to see that a railway made from London to Bristol competeswitk the original railway, the London and North-Western, for its traffic to Liverpool; that a line passing through Barnet on its way to York competes with that com pany for its Manchester traffic. Between the Great Western trunk line and Liverpool the line runs through a very diffi cult country, and there has been a vast amount of outlay in its construction. The outlay to connect us with the Great Northern line would have been very small. The Eastern Union might have found their way to London by way of Pitsea, as was shown many years ago. What would have been the position of the Eastern Counties Company if the Norfolk Company had carried its traffic to the Great Northern, and the Eastern Union had diverted its traffic in the way in which it could have been effected ? I should like to know which line of railway would have gone out of existence first—the Norfolk or the Eastern Counties. I should like to know which company would have lost its dividend first. Ido not make these remarks with any hostile feeling to the Eastern Counties Company—quite the reverse—l rejoice that com petition is put au end to by wise and conciliatory measures ; but the advantage of that amalgamation is more in favour of the Ea - stern Counties Company than of us, and I am glad of it, for, having secured our object in the amalgama tion, the more advantageous that amalgamation became to the Eastern Counties the better for us. Nevertheless the hon. proprietor asserts that we are more benefited than the Eastern Counties Company; and in fact that we should have had no existence but for the amalgamation. I say that no man having the slightest knowledge of the district and of its traffic would venture to have made such an assertion. It is a baseless assertion, and one which must have been made in entire ignorance of the circumstances of the case. Mr. M 4 LA.REN—What do you say, sir. " The usual statement of the revenue account of the asso ciated companies for, the half-year to the 30th June last, has been received from the Eastern Counties Railway Company and appended to this report. The amount credited by the Eastern Counties Railway Company, and assumed by them as the proportion of the joint earnings due to the Norfolk Railway Company, is £42,753 13s. 2d., which, after de ducting the interest on guaranteed stccks and loans, leaves a balance of £13,728 13s, Bd., and enables the directors to propose a dividend of £1 7s. 6d. per cent. upon the ordinary stock of the company for the last half-year. The revenue account of the associated companies had been prepared by the Eastern Counties Railway Company, and is therefore based on their view of the agreement of 1854, but this and the previous half-yearly accounts so furnished have not been adopted by your directors, who claim a considerable addi tion thereto. Taking into account the serious falling off of railway receipts generally throughout the country, which has prevailed for a considerable time past, your directors think that they may congratulate you that the proposed dividend is only 2s. 6d. less than the one declared for the corresponding period of last year. Your directors regret that the various questions in dispute between th's company, the Eastern Union Railway Company, and the Eastern Counties Railway Company, as to their respective rights under the agreement of 1854, remain un adjusted ; as they are of opinion it is of the utmost importance that the legal rights and liabilities of the asso ciated companies, under the agreement of 1854, should be speedily determined as a necessary step to the ultimate amalgamation of the companies,wbich the act confirming the agreement provides shall take place not later than the session of Parliament in 1862. In this view the directors of the Eastern Union Railway Company cordially concur; and the solicitors of the two companies, acting under the advice of ceunsef, have :jointly given notice to the Eastern Counties Railway Company to render accounts in accordance with the agreement, including all (traffic receipts {properly belonging to the common fund, and to discontinue the deductions authorised thereby. They further informed them that if they disputed the legal prin ciples involved in such deductions and omissions, your company and the Eastern Union Railway Company were prepared to concur with them in obtaining from a competent legal tribunal a conclusive decision in the cheapest and most expeditious manner; but that if they admitted the princi ples contended for by your company and the Eastern Union Railway Company, and only contested the amounts, then your company and the Eastern Union Railway Company were willing to abide by the decision of qualified arbitrators. To this communication HO reply has been received, and the two companies have jointly commenced the necessary legal proceedings for ascertaining their rights and for defining the duties and functions of the joint committee. The bills promoted by the East Suffolk Railway Company, adverted to at the last half-yearly meeting of the proprietors, were modified in committee of the House of Commons, so as to secure the rights of your company, and to render their assent and that of the Eastern Union Railway Company necessary in any traffic arrangements with the Eastern Counties Rail way Company under such acts." The CHAIRMAN—That it is a baseless assertion, which must have been made in entire ignorance of the circum stances of the case. Mr. M'LAREN—I shall reply to you presently. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheets appended thereto, said—Gentlemen, it is my intention to offer a few observations with reference to the present position of the company, but before doing so I feel it necessary to call attention—although it is with great regret I do se—to some observations made by an honourable pro prietor at our last special meeting. That gentleman made certain charges which had especial reference to myself and the directors—to myself as formerly the engineer of the company, and which also had reference to the position of the company. Those charges I find have been reported in full, but the reply which I was called upon to make, it so hap pened, was not reported, owing to some inadvertence on th e part of the gentlemen of the press who were present. I am quite sure it is only necessary that I should mention this fact to ensure the appearance of what I now say in reply to that gentleman, in order that it may be circulated among the proprietors of this company. The charge made by that gentleman was to the effect that the works of the Norfolk Company, of which I was engineer, were so exceedingly defective in their construction that they entailed upon the Eastern Counties Company an outlay of between £200,000 and £300,000, when they took that line into their own hands, to put it into efficient order—a very serious charge, indeed, if true. He also said we ought not to be very press ing in any pecuniary matters, because, in addition to the Eastern Counties Company sustaining considerable loss by the amalgamation between the companies, particularly with the Norfolk, if it had not been for that amalgamation the Norfolk Railway at this moment would scarcely have been in existence. I am happy to see that the gentle man to whom I allude is present, because the remarks I feel called upon to make I should have made with great reluctance in his absence. That gentleman is known as having a considerable reputation for his knowledge of figures. He is known to have taken for many years a very warm interest in the Eastern Counties affairs. There is scarcely a meeting at which that gentleman has not ad dressed the shareholders, and it cannot be supposed that he is not familiar with the reports of that company. At all events, before he made these charges, be must have been fami liar with them, or if not, he ought to have been, for he had theopportunity of becoming so. That gentleman has charged this company with delivering over the line to the Eastern Counties Company in such a state of defect as to render ne cessary an outlay of between £200,000 and £300,000. What are the facts ? When the late superintendent vacated his position in that company, and when it became known that the state of the permanent way generally in the Eastern Counties district was not so satisfactory as it ought to have been, a report in full was made by their late superintendent, Mr. Brough. That report was communicated in a detailed form to the Eastern Counties directors in the beginning of 1856, and was embodied in their report to the proprietors in February of that year. Now, gentlemen, just mark the facts. We are charged with handing over a line of from 92 to 93 miles ha length in such a condition that an outlay of between £200,000 and £300,000, as I have stated, was entailed upon the Eastern Counties Company. Now, the total cost esti mated in February, 1856, for the whole system of Eastern Counties lines was £150,000, not for 90 miles, but for nearly 500 miles; and, instead of £300,000 for placing the Norfolk line in order, £33,000 was the cost. I say, that a gentle man coming here and making that charge, having the means of correcting himself at command, is liable to the accusation of being guilty of conduct which ought to be discountenanced by the proprietors. But he may say that £33,000 did not represent the actual cost, because, in the report of 1857, when the repairs were nearly completed, it was found that the £33,000 had amounted to £62,000. I do not know whether £62,000 is the correct figure or not, but it is a curious fact that the estimate for the Eastern Counties system generally was £126,000, and the actual cost was £124,000, whereas the cost of the Norfolk line has been swelled from £33,000 to £62,000. The fact may be so, but I believe in that £62,000 is included other expenditure than that due to the mere renewal of the Norfolk Company's works. But I think I have already shown enough to prove that that gentleman's figures are a mere piece of poetry, and very bad poetry indeed. (Cheers.) Before I leave this subject I should like to call attention tu what are the facts really connected with the circumstances under which this company's works were handed over to the Eastern Counties Company. The E as t e rn Counties Company have had the control over this line since 1848 or 1849. The superintendent of the Eastern Counties Railway, who has had the entire control of our works and line, was a gentleman who bad a considerable interest in a company which possessed a very valuable patent with reference to permanent way, and which was not so well established then as now. It was very desirable that should be introduced on t h e E as t ern C ount i es line, the stesy ino m rder to obtain the advantage of that means of ad vertising its merits. But it was necessary to show that it was economical, and that the introduction of the system would be attended with useful results; and so it was that from half-year to half-year reports were made to the direc tors, and by them circulated among the proprietors, show ing that £9O per mile per annum was the whole cost of the maintenance of the permanent way, leaving a small surplus. But in order to do this I knew from my own personal know ledge that a great deal of liberty had been taken with the Norfolk Railway. I knew that rails had been removed and healtdings had been tak en timber had been taken appliedd used o f t o br ot p he u r rp p o u s r e p s o ; se t s h ; a t t up an from our bridges, to save expense elsewhere; and when that gentleman vacated his position in that company in the abrupt way in which he left, be took all his superintendents with him, and the responsibility then devolved on Mr. Brough. I did not know the full extent of the dilapidations, but I knew enough to caution Mr. Brougb, before he took the re sponsibility, to have a careful investigation into the state of the works. He did so, and then arose the exposition of the alarming state of that railway. It is curious enough, although sidings had been removed and used elsewhere, no new sidings was laid down on the Norfolk line without oar company being called upon to contribute their ota towards its cost. The directors of the Eastern Counties Company, I am bound to say, and even the original directors, were not at all cogni sant of what was done; it was done upon the sole respsnsi bility of the superintendent, who, I believe, carefully kept from them the whole of the proceedings which he adopted in regard tolithose works. The second charge brought forward by the hon. proprietor, as I have already stated, is that a loss has been sustained by the Eastern Counties Company in con sequence of the a malgamation — an annual loss; and that if it had not been for the amalgamation the Norfolk Company would not now have been in existence. I do not think it necessary to say that I attached the slightest weight to that gentlemen's statement, and I do not think you will con sider it as deserving of much consideration ; but the state ment having been made, there are some circumstances con nected with our position with the Eastern Counties Com pany which render it desirable that I should off e r some ex _ plaaation for your satisfaction, but not because I think it ne cessary to reply to that gentleman's figures now or at any future time; for after what he stated at the last meeting I should not place any confidence in his figures, because if he did not know them to be untrue at the time he ought to have known it, liiAny yore before the AmelPrnAtion, who I The CIIAIRMAN — Of course you will. With regard to the extensions, great outcry has been raised that the Eastern Counties has been damaged by its extensions and alliances. That is not the case ; but the difficulties which the company has bad to contend with have arisen entirely from the outlay on the construction of the original line from London to Col chester, and so great was the cost of this portion of the line that even now the outlay on it has hardly resulted in sufficient to pay the debenture interest, and the dividend which has been paid on the Eastern Counties stock is entirely owing to the receipts from its extensions. I shall new dismiss that Part of the subject, and come to that which is more interest ing to you, viz., the terms upon which we now stand with the Eastern Counties Company. You are all aware there are many matters of account in dispute between us, and also a matter with regard to the functions of the joint committee. We felt it our duty to take such proceedings as were neces sary in order to obtain an issue under circumstances of some difficulty; in order, in fact, to secure a legal decision ; but I think I am justified in saying with regard to the matters of account, if I may rely, which I feel I may do, upon the asser tions of the chairman of the Eastern Counties Company, that it will not be long before these matters are, at all events, adjusted, and I hope adjusted to your satisfaction. I trust you will excuse my going into them in detail, because in legal proceedings we are obliged to go to the full extent of what we consider our rights, and to make certain legal demands, but some of those demands we may, I think, although entitled to enforce them, in fairness and equity to some extent modify. Ido not think it right to state figures now, ex cept in so far as regards the lull amount of our demand in a legal point of view, which would be £6,000 or £7,000 a-year; but a considerable abatement from, that demand ought to be made if we meet in a fair spirit, as I think we shall. (Cheers.) But another subject of importance is with regard to the subject of the joint committee. You are all aware that the Eastern Counties Company are hound to work this line at 46 per cent. per annum. There fore, in regard to the management of the concern, or the executive, we cannot and ought not to interfere. Considering, however, that the two com panies, the Norfolk and Eastern, Union represent up wards of £5,000,000 of capital, and nearly 190 miles of railway, we think we ought to have a voice in the traffic arrangements—that is, in the adjustment of fares and rates and trains. On that point the Eastern Counties Com pany entirely differ from us. When you consider how the Eastern Counties Company are now situated with regard to the Northern and Eastern and the East Anglian; that there are seven directors, five from the Northern and Eastern and two from the East Anglian, representing a far less capital than we do; that they have the power of nominating seven out of 15 directors; and that this company has no voice whatever in the matter, I think you will agree with me that it is hardly a fair state of things. It is very much for the advantage of the Eastern Counties Company, as well as ourselves, that this state of things should be changed. We believe that we are entitled, and that the joint committee is legally entitled, to have the entire control of the traffic arrangements. lam quite satisfied that the original agreement for an amalgamation ascribed to that committee those functions, but, as far as I can understand, the Eastern Counties Company think that the Act of Parliament which has confirmed that amalgamation has altered that state of things. We have taken the highest legal opinions upon the subject, and we are advised that the act does not alter the agreement, that it rather con firms the agreement than anything else, and that our right to have a voice in the general management of the Eastern Counties system is certain. But I would make this observation, that if the agreement were affected by the act, it is under circumstances very peculiar, because, when the act for amalgamation was applied for, the directors of this company and of the Eastern Union, in common with the Eastern Counties Company, had the highest confidence in the solicitor of the Eastern Counties Company, a man whose name it is only necessary to mention in order to know how high his position is in the City, and what entire confidence every man has in him—no man would hesitate for a moment, wherever that gentleman might be engaged, to rely im plicitly on his fully carrying out any engagement he might make ; if, therefore, there be any alteration in the clause affecting our agreement, it would be one for which that gentleman would be responsible, and not made with the con currence of the associated companies at the time ; and therefore I feel certain that if the Act of Parliament contains anything which affects the original agreement, we shall be afforded relief, and that gentleman will see that justice is done to us. But, under any circumstances, we are deter mined to persevere in maintaining as your trustees a right to a voice in the general management of the traffic of the Eastern Counties system. I may say, gentlemen, I cannot blame the Eastern Counties Company for the course they have taken. On the contrary, they are fully entitled, if they are advised that their legal position is different from that which we believe it to be, to adopt the course which they have thought proper to do. I cannot complain that they are taking every step for the maintenance of the rights of their shareholders. With regard to Mr. Love, although my acquaintance with that gentleman has arisen since my con nection with this company, I am bound to say that I believe him to be a gentleman whose assiduity and great zeal for the interests:of the Eastern Counties shareholders entitle him to the highest praise. He works incessantly, and I believe for the single object of promoting the interests of the Eastern Counties shareholders. lam quite certain that if there is any thing that gentleman is more anxious about than another, it is that he should build a reputation on the restora tion of that company to a state of success and prosperity. I think it but right to bear testimony to his zeal and anxiety for the interests of his constituents. At the same time I may differ from him in thinking that he is pursuing altogether that course which is most likely to conduce to the object be has in view. I think, when he has made himself more inti mately acquainted with the value of the traffic of that dis trict, and the working of railways in general, he will find that, instead of contesting every minute point,fit will be more for the interest of the company to deal with such ques tions in a wise and comprehensive spirit. In so doing he will be promoting not only the interests of the shareholders of this company, but of the associated companies and of the public in general. But whatever may be the result of that gentleman's exertions I am sure he will only take that course which he believes to be for the interest of his own shareholders, and that I admit is a course he ie bound to adopt. Now, I think we may have been of some use on that traffic committee. Mr. Cobb old, the chairman of ' the Eastern Union Railway Comp an y , has bad, no doubt, great experience in the traffic of his own district. Mr. T and myself, I venture to think, from many years' connection with the Norfolk Railway, could have made some useful suggestions also as to the traffic of our district. We believe that the traffic is not now accommodated as it ought to be, and that therefore it is not properly developed. Particu larly, I thick, that the sea-ports—in which the Eastern Counties are peculiarly rich, being only inferior to the South- Eastern—are not properly accommodated. That at Yarmouth and Lowestoft the trains are too few, and not at convenient hours. When I see at the present moment, at the other end of the line, that the traffic to the Victoria Docks amounts to between 11,000 and 12,000 passengers per week, from the Brunswick Wharfto the Victoria Dock entrance, and that full omnibuses are running all day long from Stratford to London, I cannot help thinking that the metropolitan traffic is capable of much greAter development, and o f bong made, therefore, 108 110 98i 991 ; Ms par im ..... .... se i Ms par $8 21 118 110 98 PO Stock stock 4tock stack 7 Stock 3to - k Stork fit;9l 100 4} 100 all 10} 100 100 100 all 100 100 100 100 106 1$ 6 more conducive to the interests of the associated companies. There are two instances amongst others which I could name if time permitted. It is all important that this development should take place as soon as possible, because the time cannot be far distant when the terms of amalgamation must be considered. The fact is the sooner that amalgamation is brought about the better. At present we are three compa nies, three boards, and three expenses, all bearing a certain divided interest, and the sooner it is put an end to the better. It is most desirable fcr the interests of this company that the amalgamation should take place at the earliest possible moment, and it is quite as desirable that it should take place on terms fair and equitable as regards yourselves. The result cannot in my opinion be obtained until the traffic of the districts is fully and fairly developed, and the more so because your position in regard to the system is very peculiar. The Norfolk con solidated stock is vary generally misunderstood by the public. In truth, it is in the nature almost of guaranteed stock, except that it has advantages over anal above that stock, because unless the traffic of the Eastern Counties system should permanently decrease, there is no probability that our dividend will be affected at all. On the other band, you must participate in the gradual increase which is taking place in all railways, and we believe must continue to take place for many years to come; therefore, you cannot reason upon the present state of things in reference to the way in which the associated stock cf the respective com panies should be brought together until the traffic of the district is more completely developed and its value better ascertained. While upon this subject, I will call attention to what has been the dividend received by this company since the amalgamation. In the year 1854 it was 21 per cent. upon the stock of this company; in the year 1855 it was 3 per cent. ' • iii 1856 it was 31 per cent.; in 1857 it was 21- per cent. The first half-year's dividend, which we propose to-day will be £1 17s. 6d. per cent. ; and if the increase which has taken place in the Eastern Counties traffic for the last seven weeks continues, the half-a-crown loss on the present half-year, compared with the correspond ing half-year of 1857, will be made up in the current half year. Therefore the dividend will, I trust, be 31 per cent. even on the current year. I think that is a statement which shows the great value of the amalgamation to this company. I could easily show that it has been attended with equal advantage to the other companies. But this brings me to notice a protest which has been banded in by a shareholder against paying interest upon the capital in vested in the Fakenham and Wells Railway. Now, I will call your attention to the origin of that railway. That rail way was promoted by this company in the same year in which the Amalgamation Bill was sought for, and very much upon my recommendation, because I knew that the local interest in favour of it was so great that, unless this com pany had aided in obtaining the act for the Fakenham and Wells Railway, it was sufficient to imperil, if not alto gether to prevent, the Amalgamation Bill passing into an Act of Parliament. Therefore, for a gentleman receiving all the advantages which have accrued from the Amal gamation Act to shrink from bearing a fair share of the responsibility attending it, I must say is conduct altogether un-English and illiberal, and I hope we shall hear no more upon this subject. (Cheers.) While upon the matter of the Fakenham and Wells Railway, I would mention that the traffic for the last seven months, although that has been a very bad part of the year—the worst half of the year— although paying 65 per cent. for working expenses to the Eastern Counties Company, and a very large rate of in terest on the debenture debt, because their credit is not such as to enable them to raise it upon more moderate terms, shows a deficiency of somewhere abeutil2o for that period. I think that that company has been somewhat hardly dealt with. A small company like that which has expended some £BO,OOO to £OO,OOO for an extension of nine or ten miles to a sea-port should be dealt with in a liberal and just spirit, and I think instead of paying 65 per cent. it ought to be worked for a sum not exceeding 50 per cent. I will tell you why. That company, it may be assumed, is now in receipt of £2,000 to £3,500 a-year. In the ordinary nature of railway property it cannot be long before it will reach £5,000. The difference between 65 and 50 per cent. upon that sum makes £750 a-year. Suppose that to be a dead loss; suppose the loss equally distributed amongst the three companies; that we take our fair shares—the Eastern Coun ties theirs, and the Eastern Union theirs—it would entail upon this company a loss of £lOO, upon the Eastern Union £lOO, and upon the Eastern Counties £5OO. That would be the debtor side. But the traffic of the Fakenham and Wells Railway could not be earning £5,000 per annum without bringing a large accession of traffic upon the Eastern Counties system—this £5,000 would be earned upon nine or ten miles of railway. A gr , at part cf this traffic goes to Louuou with, and Lowestoft and Cambridge, and Yarmouth, and an increase of £5,000 would be represented by an increase of from £lO,OOO to £15,000 to the associated companies. Our share of that would be upwards of £1,000; the Eastern Union share would be £l,OOO, and the Eastern Counties Company would have between £6,000 and £7,000. It would be only wise and liberal that the Eastern Counties Company should undertake so much for the Fakenham and Wells, and that we should take our share of any loss. I must say that I am of opinion that it would he wise, not only for the Eastern Counties Company, but for all railway companies, to assist in the formation of branch lines by landowners; that where landowners are prepared to make their own branch railways at their own cost, the companies should undertake to work them at a small rate per cent., even though it entailed some loss on the mere working, for the chance of getting an increase of traffic on their main system, and of getting the co-operation of the whole district, in working with them, and supporting their interest when ever it should become necessary to ask for it. I throw this observation out for general consideration,because I think my suggestion if realised would be attended with very great advantages to all railway companies. It has occurred to me that we are in a position of such safety, and the small ness of the attendance to-day so far proves it to be the fact, that we are so little affected by commercial crises that the shareholders think they are certain of their dividend, and that they may leave matters very much in our hands, that we shall protect their interests, and that we as shareholders of the Norfolk Railway Company may very securely discuss railway politics generally without feeling any concern with regard to our own position. Every railway company has bad to meet its proprietors with a long apology for a shortened dividend, arising from various circum stances. Our traffic is of an agricultural character ; as long as people require their stomachs to be filled, the traffic of the Eastern Counties districts cannot he materially affected. That is an advantage which we enjoy from our position. But no one can be Indifferent to the great depres sion under which railway property is suffering. I for one, owing my prosperity in lite to railways, cannot but deplore it. I can give a very satisfactory reason for it, but per haps it is scarcely necessary to occupy your time in that way. I will, however, make this remark for your consi deration, that all;the disastrous effects perceptible in the southern districts—l speak of the South-Eastern, the Brighton, and the South-Western Companies, but particu larly of the South-Eastern—have arisen from the original mistake in the direction of the Brighton Railway. Nearly all the depression in the midland and northern districts has arisen from the misdirection of the original Grand Junction Railway from Warrington-by-Madeley to Birmingham; and in the eastern districts, to the misplacing of the railway from London to Colchester. That has been the foundation of a vast amount of railway disaster in this country; but in addition to that, the excitement of 1846 bringing a vast number of railways before the world, many of them to die a natural death, but a great many to receive the sanction of Parliament, has contributed to the result—it would have been better for the interest of the country if such powers had never been granted. But that is not all. The consequences of the excitement of 1846 gave rise to rivalries and embittered feelings which have prevented railway companies from com ing together in a fair and moderate spirit to consider such arrangements as would be best for their mutual interests and for the public advantage. Those feelings do prevail to a large extent among railways, and I see very little hope of those feel ings being allayed unless a new state of things with regard to railways should arise. The Legislature, in originally granting Acts of Parliament for railways, considered them in the light of canals, and the directors to be in the position of toll col lectors. It was considered that any man who could start a steam engine might run it on paying the ordinary rate of toll demanded, the directors only having to take toll. But this state of things it was found impossible to allow to exist, and railway companies became of necessity carriers. In the earlier system it was easy, because the great lines having a monopoly—there being no other lines to affect their inte rest in the district—could dictate their own terms. The line from London to Liverpool commanded a large amount of profits on any system it chose to enforce. But when a rail way going from London to Bristol competes for the traffic to Liverpool, and another going from London to York also competes for the Manchester, and even for the Liverpool traffic, the details become so complicated, and the know ledge necessary to conduct the traffic so vast, not merely as to the rate of tolls, but taking into consideration all the great commercial questions as 'to the value of produc'e and the nature of the articles conveyed, that it became impossible for a board of directors to deal with the matter efficiently. To show what sort of considerations influence the question, I may instance the cattle traffic from Denmark to London. The natural cattle traffic of this company arises mainly from Norfolk; it must come by railway; and for that we charge the directors fair sum of about ld. per mile per head. But when directors had to consider the case of cattle coming from Den mark, another state of things arose. The General St a oa e. m r Company carries the cattle to London all the way. 1337 water. The question is, how a portion of that can be diverted to - Lowestoft. The rate must, then, be less b y one .half than that which is charged by us for the t raffic arising in our own district. The directors must say, therefore, if we are to get this traffic we must charge one-half what we get for our local cattle traffic; if not, we shallosttiZo one- it at one-half r Therefore, if they found that they could get 2s. or 3s. per head for the cattle profit, I mention that they were jus tified and bound to do so, and they do so. to show that it is not a mere questioriofa . MII of one penny or one halfpenny, or a farthing a mile—itis a question of great commercial difficulty, requiring considerable com mercial knowledge, and a careful investigation into the circumstances of almost every particular traffic which arises inaugural promulgated te from any district accomm odated by railw p l r l o rav u e l come to this conclusion — it is not my owni .d ea, it was m first by Mr. R. Steph ens o n in his address to the Institution of Civil Engineers—that railways will never be in a prop er position until they are worked by sub s idi ary companies or parties, and the functions of directo rs restricted to what they ought to be, viz., those of toll or rent takers, at the same time exercising a proper supervision to see that the covenants of any agreement are fairly and properly carried out, and that the best terms are obtained whenever a con tract is entered upon. What would be the advantages of this system ? You would have individual responsibility— not only that, but a man entering on a foolish competition would find himself co rrec t e d by having his own banker's account affected to the extent probably of £4,000 or £ 5 , 000 in the very first week. That would have a moderating effect in abating the ardour of any gentleman inclined to indulge his own pride or personal feeling in risking a competition, and would unquestionably bring him to his senses. But it may ha remarked that in the old coach-days people did in dulge in this sort of thing—a man would carry a passenger 100 miles for nothing and give him a dinner; but that state of things did not last long, and I believe it would be of still shorter duration in connection with railways. I do not think that the carrying for ss. to Manchester would last a fortnight under such a new state of circumstances. The effect of these agreements would be to give greater security to railway property, the dividends would be more secure, especially if a peoper guarantee fund were a condition, and I am quite certain that it would be a very profitable thing to the sub sidiary companies, for subsidiary companies could give better 'iividendsthan are likely to be earned by railway companies, at the same time securing to themselves a large profit, arising not only from the better development of the traffic, but the economical arrangements that they would have a greater interest in effecting. If the Legislature are to do anything, let them facilitate such au arrangement as I have suggested. I have continued my remarks to a greater length than I had intended ; but I hope you will think that I have not unnecessarily occupied your time. Mr. M'LAREN had listened to the address of the chairman with very great satisfaction, and he might remark that now that the palmy days of contractors and engineers had gone by—clearly gone—a new scheme for working railways was to be brought forward as introduced by the chairman, !Inc!. which wt simply for the purpose of bending over tog united ~r 4 body of those engineers and contractors the working of the railways of the kingdom. The CHAIRMAN begged to observe that nothing which had fallen from him would justify the honourable proprietor in making such an assertion. Mr. M‘Laren bad entirely misrepresented him. Contractors and engineers were the last people in the world who should be called upon to work railways in the way lie (the chairman) had suggested. The persons to whom he alluded were the great carriers, such as Messrs. Pickford, Mr. Chaplin , and Mr. Ho r n e . Mr. WLAREN said it bad been intimated to him by a contractor some years ago that he would work the Eastern Counties line, and in a very short time pay the shareholders double the dividend they were receiving; but however there were conflicting interests, which would not admit of such a system of working being carried out. He (Mr. M'Laren) had no doubt that the chairman and his colleagues would countenance the suggested system, and that ere long it would be found in existence. He ventured to say that at the head of the affairs would be found the engineers and contractors of the country. He regretted that the chairman should have felt it necessary to give so flat a contradiction to the state ment which he(the speaker)made the other day; he alluded to the loss sustained by the Eastern Counties Company in consequence of their connection with the Telegraph Com pany. He dates the loss from the agreement of 1849. He was ready to prove, on fair and equitable principles, that the effect of the agreement before the amalgamation between the companies took place was to cause a loss to the Eastern Counties Io the extent of £140,000 or £150,000, simply for the benefit of the Norfolk. (Cries of " Oh, oh.") He meant the first agreement. He was ready to prove what he had stated in the public papers. He must bring to the recollection of the chairman that the whole of the rolling stock of the Norfolk, the stores and everything else, were taken by the Eastern Counties because the Norfolk were unable to pay the money borrowed from the former. He must repeat what he had stated at a previous meeting, that the Norfolk Railway, when it was handed over to the Eastern Counties, was in a most disgraceful state; and that it had required an outlay of £209,000 to put it in repair. This was up to the year 1857, and yet not a single shilling of that amount came out of the pockets of the Norfolk Company. He was nexticharged with having stated that the amalgamation had been a loss to the Eastern Counties. He was ready to prove, and that by incontestable evi dence, that such was the fact. He would instance one fact in support of his assertion. The rolling stock of the Eastern Counties had cost £1,230,943, and the proportion of interest which the Norfolk ought to pay in respect of this would amount to £B,OOO or £9,000, but that company had not paid anything in this respect. This matter ought to have been an element in the calculations made between the companies at the time of the amalgamation. He repeated that the amalgamation with the Norfolk Company had been a disastrous one to to the Eastern Counties Railway. The CHAIRMAN had never been so much surprised in his life as he was at the observations of the hon. proprietor. They had perfectly astounded him. (Hear, hear.) He had now before him the report of the Eastern Counties line for February, 1857, which showed the expenditure in respect of the restoration of the permanent way for associated lines. That amount was £191,000. Mr. WCLAREN repeated that it was £209,000. The CHAIRMAN—But there were the facts, and unless the Eastern Counties kept back an enormous amount, which he did not think likely—(hear, hear), the statement must be, undoubtedly, as the outlay on the 500 miles. The charge against the Norfolk line was, as he bad stated, £62,000. This was the expenditure over and above the guaranteed cast of the working. Mr. 11PLAREN—Now you have stated the fact. The CHAIRMAN—Whit the hon. gentleman was doing was to shelter himself in this way to get out of the misstate ment he had made—he added to the original estimated cost of putting the line in order the amount charged over a series of past years—(hear)—which he (the chairman) must say was a most disgraceful attempt to injure the Norfolk Company (Hear, hear.) As to the interest which the honourable pro prietor said was due to the Eastern Counties as interest on the rolliug stock employed in working the Norfolk branch, the fact was that the question was fairly taken into con sideration at the time of the amalgamation. He had settled the terms on which the division of traffic took place, and he at the time considered the Eastern Counties were entitled to one-sixth, instead of what they now received—one seventh. But for the sake of peace and amicable working between the present associated companies, be gave way ; but the begged to say, that the interest in the rolling stock, spoken of by Mr. M'Laren, was fully gone into, and fairly and satisfactorily dealt with. The report and accounts were then adopted, and Mr. M'LAREN moved a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. The resolution was carried unanimously. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PERSEVERING AND DETERMINED PICKPOCKETS.— Wm. Clark, 19, Wm. Burke, 14, and Margaret Clines, 26, three most deter mined pickpockets, were charged before Mr. Bingham under the following circumstances : Charles Cole, 317 A, a very active detective officer, said that on the previous night, at eleven o'clock, be saw the two lads at the corner of Coventry-street, and suspecting them he watched them for a few minutes, and on two gentlemen turning up Windmill-street he saw the two lads follow them and try one of their pockets. They then went across Coventry-street and spoke to the female, and afterwards down Coventry-street towards Leicester-square, and when at the corner of Princes-street Burke tried another pocket, in Lei cester-square he tried another, and passing into St. M artin's court, be saw him try another. He spoke to the gentleman, who seemed indignant at the interruption, and would not take the trouble to see whether he had lost anything or not. He still kept the prisoners in view and followed them back to Coventry-street, where, after they had sat on the steps of the Argyll Rooms for some time to rest themselves, they re sumed operations, trying at least a dozen other gentlemen's pockets. He then with assistance took them into custody. The prisoner Clines he had no doubt—as he had not seen her take any part in the attempts, only keeping close to the others—was in attendance to receive the produce of the male prisoners' exertions. Mrs. Harriet Durrant, the female searcher, proved finding four silk handkerchief on Cline, an Indian straw cigar case, containing a puree w ith Gs., and a female's collar. The prisoners, who seem to be adepts in picking pockets, were remanded. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Aug. 28.—Wind this day at noon, N.N.W.; moderate breeze and fine.
