THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article tlanimal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity 11 worldwide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled hang a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our Bonder willcease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating tat he had a horse which was a " pdrfect bag of bones." He tried 1 11 kinds of thi ngs to get the animal i nto cond i t i on, b ut i n va i n . Le then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late Acricultural show at Birmingham, Cardiff, &e., the animals which 'ttrried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thorley's - tied for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own in haste merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from tie good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All trties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, wgato-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. TO THE NERVOUS AND DEBILITATED.

To which are added, remarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries of "Life within Life," and its advantas es in de tecting, by urinary examination, the cause and effoet of every variety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and cases. BY SAMUEL LA!MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of _ Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their ply. sical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those pe nalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may he avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infir mity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

The fact of the old shares being de ferred in point of interest to the new, your directors consi der as an additional argument in favour of a portion of the new shares being taken up by the old proprietors, by which means the extension line will be more rapidly pushed towards completion, and of course be sooner placed in a dividend-paying position to the new as well as the old shareholders. So fully satisfied were the English directors that the old Newry and Enniskillen line, on account of its very limited length, never could be worked to pay a dividend, and that the only salvation of the property con sisted in the present extension being speedily carried out (no legal or Parliamentary power existing on their part to sell or lease the line to any other company) that in order to provide the funds necessary to lodge the Parliamentary deposit, in 1856, they raised the sum of £lB,OOO upon loan from the Union Bank of London, and have during the past half year paid oil (out of their own resources) the sum of 11,500 each on account of such loan ; for which amount they respectively stand as creditors in the books of the company. This fact as to the subscribed er borrowed capital has been stated at several public meetings held in Ireland, previous and subsequent to the passing of the bill, to the Committees of both Houses of Parliament, and is well known to the proprietors; and the sum of £12,750, the Parliamentary deposit lodged in the hands of the Accountant-General, Ireland, which has been considerably augmented by additions and accumulations, stands as a credit to the new company, as shown in all the accounts submitted to the proprietors since the reincorporation of the company. Four of your direc tors, viz., Mr. C. H. Battimore, Mr. James Ander ton, Mr. J. R. Burbridge, and Mr. G. E. Taunton, retire at this meeting by rotation; and the three farmer gentle men, being all eligible, hare given notice of their intention to offer themselves for re-election, and will be proposed ac cordingly. Mr. Taunton does not intend to offer himself for re-election—his other avocations not permitting flint todevote his time to the interests of the company; and due notice has been given that Mr. Elias Davis, of 54, Tavistock-square, London, a gentleman influentially connected in the city of London, and the holder of 257 deferred shares in the com pany, will be proposed as a ebrector, to supply the vacancy at the London board caused by Mr. Taunton's retire ment. During the past half-year Mr. Lupton, one of your directors—not deeming his position as director of your company and the Warrenpoint Company altogether com patible—resigned his office as a director of your com pany; and Mr. 111‘Culla, of Newry and Armagh, late an auditor of the company, was accordingly appointed to the vacant seat at your board in Ireland. It will be the province of the meeting (if thought advisable) to elect another audi:or in his stead, and Mr. E. Jeggins, one of the English auditors, who retires by rotation, but is eligible, has given notice of his intention to offer himself for re-election. Your directors being desirous of retaining your confidence, and being satisfied with the ultimate results of the line, when completed to Armagh, again repeat their former pledge not to seek for any remuneration for their services until after a dividend has been declared to the share holders, except only for such sums as they have actually paid out of pocket in attending the board and half-yearly meetings, one half of which it is proposed to charge to new capital, and the other half to revenue."

A meeting of the maAistracy of the metropolitan county was held yesterday, at the Court-house, Clerkenwell—Mr. Henry Pownall in the ci•mir—to transact the ordinary busi nes3. The most important notices on the paper, relating to negotations between the Metropolitan Railway Company and a committee of justices as to the proposal to make a tunnel under the House of Correction, Culdhath-fields, and the expenditure contemplated for the enlargement of that prison, were postponed, the Chairman stating, in answer to Lord Ehury, that no definite answer had been received from the company. Upon the report of the Committee for I Finance and General Purposes, certain fees charged in the uroners' accounts were disallowed as usual, and a letter was read from Mr. Baker respecting the dis pute between the court and the coroners on this subject, in which that gentleman said there was an end of all confi dence between him and the committee. It appeared from the prison reports that there were in Coldbath-fields 1,825 prisoners —felons, 676; misdemeanants, 479 ; vagrants, 170; in Westminster Bridewell, 1,009; and in the House of De tention, 251—total, 2,585. An election of matron for the Westminster Bridewell took place. There were five candi , dates selected, of whom Mrs. Susanna Maria Billiter was succesFlul, receiving 30 votes, the next 7, and the three others nil. The basis or standard for the new county rate was taken into consideration and adopted. An amendment was proposed by Mr. F. Chalmers, and seconded by Mr. Bird, to refer the basis backto the committee for reconsidera tion on the ground that the principle upon which many of the parishes were assessed was erroneous ; but it was nega tived, end the Court held that any parish might appeal which thought itself aggrieved by the new assessment. The old assessment was £8,427,336 ; the new one is £9,166,827, which, allowing for a decrease, gives a net increase of £739,491. It was rep,rted to the Court that a prisoner in the House of Correction, named Thomas Page, had received 36 lashes with the cat-o'-nine tails for having struck one of the officers with a cell pot, and that in the Westminster Bridewell there had been four cases of choleraic diarrhoea, which had been successfully treated by the surgeon. An increase of £l5 per annum was made to the remuneration of Joseph Ingall, who has charge of the ventilation of the sessions houses. The usual formal business was gone through, and the rates, under the Mutiny Act, having been fixed, the Court adjourned. The Royal Mail packet Tamar, which left South ampton with the Brazil mail on the 9th, arrived at Lisbon early on the morning of the 13th, having made the passage in days. WRECK OF TEE SCREW STEAMER TIMES.—WEsT HARTLEPOOL, August 24.—The captain and crew of the late screw-steamer Times, of the port of Lo nd o n, arrived here this morning and reported the loss of their vessel ort Sunday afternoan, about 35 miles o ff the land. The Times was a trader between Newcastle-on -Tyne and Holland, and left the port of Haarlingen, in the latter place, on Saturday, with a cargo of cattle for Newcastle. The weather was then perfectly fine, and continued so during the remainder of the passage. About two o'clock on Sunday, without any pre vious warning, the shaft of the s?.rew propeller suddenly broke near the stern-post and burst the stuffing box, tearing away the thick metal plates. The water rushed into the leak in spite of the eflbrts made to stop it, and in twenty minutes it bad reached and extinguished the engine fires, and speedily filled the whole of the aftermost part of . the vessel. The bulk-head fortunately sufficed for a consider able time to keep the vessel afloat, and enabled th w to save a good part of their property. The captain aryl crew took to the boats at 5 p.m., and lay by the steamer till 8, when she went down, about 35 miles off the land. The boats then shaped their course for the shore, whichey reached at 6 o'clock this morning, making the fishing village of Stotches, whence they were towed here by a tug. After leaving the wrecked stea mer the boats fell in with the schooner Clown, of Aber de . en, Nicholls, masemter, who took the crew on board, and kindly treated th till they de parted. They af terwards fell in with a Danish schooner, a l so boarded, and the captain of which enter tainedwhich they them hospitably. The Times was the property of Mr. J. Vanopp en, was 184 tons register, and insured.

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 27, 1858. RAILWAY INTELLIGEACE. SOUTH-EASTERN. The half-yearly report of the directors, to be presented to the proprietors at the half-meeting on Thursday next, was issued yesterday. It states :—" The usual statements of receipts and expenditure on revenue account for the half year ending the 31st of July, 1858, show that the gross re ceipts during, that period have amounted to £493,102 2s. ld. (including £20,311 7s. ld., receipts from steam-boat traffic), being a decrease of £7,421 7s. sd. as compared with the half-year ending the 31st of J uly, 1837. The statement of expenditure on relenue account shows that the ordinary working expenses during the half-year amounted to £190,620 7s. 31, being a decrease of £6,389 4s. 11d. en the cor responding period of 1857 ; the rates, taxes, tolls, and Government duty to £34,030 154. 9J.; awl the working of the steam packet service to £14,970 Os. .2.d. After providing for the fixed charges in respect of rents, interest, annuities, preference dividends, &c., there remains a net balance of £112,660 7s. 10d. available for dividend on the ordinary con solidated stock of the company. A dividend of 9s. per £3O stock, or at the rate of £3 per cent. per annum, will absorb a suit' of £111,505 104., leaving a balance to be carried for ward of £1,154 17s. 10d.; and this rate of dividend the di rectors recommend to be paid on Thursday the 9th Sept. next. The total number of passengers conveyed upon the South- Eastern lines during the half-year, as compared with the corresponding period of 1857, has been as follows : Half-year ending the 31st July.

This decrease is accounted for by the falling off in continental passengers, the receipts for London, Dover, and Folkestone traffic being less by £9,367 than in the corresponding period of last half-year; and the receipts by the company's steamers between Dover and Calais and Folkestone and Boulogne being less by £5,769 Bs. 6d. during the same period. This falling off in the continental traffic is attributable partly to the com mercial depression of the past season, and partly to the increased stringency with which the French passport regu lations were enforced about the beginning of the present year. Measures have, however, been recently adopted, both by the English and French Governments, calculated greatly to facilitate the intercourse between the two countries. By an act of the British Legislature recently passed, the price of the Foreign-office passport has been reduced from 6s. to 25., with increased facilities to obtain them. The French Government have also sanctioned excursionist passengers landing at the French ports on certificates issued by the South-Eastern Company, without occasioning any inconvenience or ex pense to the public. Notwithstanding this decrease in the receipts the directors are gratified to find that the elasticity of the local traffic has been such as on the whole to maintain satisfactorily the aggregate of the revenue derivable from passengers. A decided tendency to a general revival in the traffic of the railway has been manifested dining the last few weeks, which may inspire the shareholders with confi dence as to future prospects. The expenditure incurred in working and maintaining the railway (luring the half year exhibits a decrease of £6,389 4s. 11d. as compared with the corresponding period of last year. In the locomo tive department the expenditure has been less by £2,155 6s. 10d., notwithstanding that a larger amount has been expended on renewals of engines and tenders; this reduc tion being attributable to the saving in the cost of coal and coke, which has averaged 183. 3d. per ton, as against £lls. net. last year. The maintenance and renewal of carriages and waggons has been £19,840 Os. 11d. ' against £18,725 10s. Bd. i n th e correspon di ng per i o d o f 1857, ex hibiting an increase of £1,114 103 3d. This additional expenditure has been incurred in the renewal of worn-out carriages, which have been replaced by vehicles of a much more commodious and serviceable description. The superintendents report that the rolling stock, gene rally, has been efficiently maintained. The reduc tion in the cost of maintenance and renewals of way and works has been £3,505 ls. 11d., arising partly from the reduced cost of materials. Theitot al expenditure during the half-year under this head has been £48,533, the whole of which is directly charged to revenue, less the amount realised by the sale of old materials. The engineer's report, which is appended, will be found satisfactory as to the pre sent state of the way and works. The 'reduction of £3,078 Bs. ld. in the expenses of steamboats arises from the less mileage run by them in consequence of the decrease in that class of traffic. In the meantime, the efficiency of the company's ships has been fully maintained ; and they have made the voyages from, port to port with their accustomed regularity. A saving of £2,915 181. 2d. has been effected in the general working expenses of the pas sengers anti goods traffic. Close attention has been given to the mileage run by the trains, and a reduction of above 27,000 miles has been effected in the goods de partment, concurrent with an increase in the receipts from that source. The total outlay on capital account has been during the half-year £24,627 Bs. 3d., less £8,325 7d. re ceived from the sate of surplus lands. The principal items of expenditure have been incurred in enlarging and rebuild , ing the stations so much required, at . Redhill Junction and at Margate, and in completing those on the Strood and I Maidstone branch. The outlay on these works has already received the sanction of the proprietors. In consequence of the abort supply of carrying stock, re ported by the general manager as inadequate for the proper conduct of the merchandise traffic, it has been found neces sary to enter into a contract for 250 goods waggons at a total cast of £19,500, or £10,112 4s. Bd. in excess of the sum authorised by the proprietors to be expended for such purpose at their meeting of the 7th September, 1854; and the sanction of the proprietors is accordingly required for this further expenditure. The directors are in course of realising the available assets derivable from the sale of sur plus lands. A considerable portion of the company's estate at Ashford has recently been sold on favourable terms; and the remaining surplus property, not re quired for the purposes of the railway, will be dis posed of from time to time, as opportunities occur. The loans of the company which have fallen in during the half-year have been provided for on favourable terms. An additional amount of the £4 per cent. debenture stock has been issued; and the directors beg to draw the avention of proprietors to this stock as a permanent and desirable investment. The stock was created under special Parliamentary powers which secure to it the same place amongst the liabilities of the company as the loans in sub stitution for which it is issued; and thus the interest upon it becomes a first charge upon the revenue of the company. The attention of the directors has been much occupied during the past session of Parliament by the proceedings involved in their application for powers aod to par c t o z s r t d r , u w ct ith a a blrinaench to of opposing the line projected by the East Kent Compa n y be tween Strood and St. Mary's Cray. It will be in the recollec rCahilisvealybubrsettr'aeennd also New cross in tion of the proprietors that the bill promoted by this company received the sanction of the committee of the House of Commons in 1857, and that the bill of the East Kent Com pany was rejected on the ground that, if conceded, it would introduce an unnecessary and injurious railway competition in districts already efficiently served by the South-Eastern Company. The South-Eastern bill was, however, rejected by the committee of the House of Lords on the ground, as was believed, that the line promoted by this company did not provide an access to the West end of London. The bill introduced in the past session accordingly included a branch to Chisellinrst for the pur pose of supplying such defect, and placing the North Kent line in communication with the West-end of London and Crystal Palace Railway, through the medium of the Mid Kent (Bromley to St. Mary's Cray) Railway, which was leased by this company. The East Kent scheme was the same as last year, being a line from Strood to St. Mary's Cray, projected for the put pose of establishing a competing line of railway between London and several towns in East Kent already supplied with railway accommodation by this company. After a protracted investigation the bill ofthis com pany was rejected by the committee of the House of Com mons, and that of the East Kent Company was passed. The directors felt it to be their duty to continue their opposition to the East Kent Bill in the Lords ; and also to endeavour to enter into an arrangement with the East Kent Company in order to avert future competition if possible, but without effect ; and the East Kent Bill eventually passed the com mittee of the Lords and received the sanction of Parliament. In consequence of this decision the directors have since had under their consideration the adoption of measures calcu lated to protect the South-Eastern Company against the railway competition thus authorised by the Legisla ture ; but they will not proceed with any plan involv ing the further expenditure of capital with this object, without first bringing the subject fully before the proprietors. The directors are gratified in stating that the competition between this company and the Great Western and South- Western Companies for the London and Reading traffic has been brought to a close, and that an agreement has been entered into on the basis of equal rates being charged by the three companies, and the total receipts being divided amongst them in proportions agreed upon, after the most careful es timate that could be formed of their respective rights and interests in the Reading and London traffic. The agreement came into operation on the 14th of June last, and will con tinue for the term of three years. It is expected that consi derable advantages will be derived from the completion of the narrow gauge junction at Reading, now nearly finished, by which the South-Eastern system will for the first time be placed in continuous railway communication with impor tant districts in the north-west of England. The junction will also be available far the conveyance of troops to and from the Aldershot and Shorncliffe camps, as well as the important military arsenals on the SoutlnsEastern Railway. The directors have also concluded an amicable agreement with the South-Western Company for the avoidance of all competition with them at stations on the line of the Reading and Reigate Railway, from which it is anticipated that mu tual advantages will be derived by both companies." WEST END OF LONDON AND CRYSTAL PALACE. The report of the directors, to be presented to the share holders to-day, states that " the opening of the line to the Pimlico terminus took place on the 29th of March. The number of passengers conveyed on the line during the half year ending 30th .nne, has been as follows, viz. :—From the Ist of January to 29th of March (up to which time the line was only open to Wandlwortb), 105,766; from Wilt March to 30th June, 354,310; total, 460,076. The gross receipts from the traffic for the half-year have amounted to £10,103 ss. 10d. The advance of the traffic is steady, and the directors have every confidence of its realis ing their full expectations. On the 3d of May the portion of the Farnborough extension from the Norwood junction to Bromley was opened as a double line from the junction to Beckenham, and as a single line from Beckenham to Bromley. In consequence of agreements between the Brighton and South-Eastern Companies, it b ecame necessary for the company to undertake the indepen dent working of this portion of line, and to purchase an engine and rolling stock for this purpose. The trains are worked in connection with the West End and London bridge tabu At the CrystAl Palace• A colinictioA is grA•4 dually being established by means of these trains and the Mid-Kent trains, between the North Kent line and the Crystal Palace, so that residents at Lewisham, Blackheath, Woolwich, Gravesend, and other places on that line, will be able to visit the palace without going to Lpndon. A very large population, who have much felt the want if proper facilities in this respect, will thus be accommodated, and a considerable traffic may be expected from this source. Since the close of the last half-year it became necessary, in order to meet several pressing claims, for the directors to dispose of the remainder of the forfeited shares. They re gret to say that a loss was unavoidably incurred in the transaction, but the company's credit was at stake, and it was thought best to adopt this mode of meeting the lia tilities. The registers are now practically clear, and the directors will take 2171 early opportunity of requesting the sanction of the proprietors to the conversion of the shares into stock. The arrangement with the Brighton Company for the commutation of one half of the £B,OOO a-year pay able by them for the use of the line for their long traffic, for a capital sum of £BO,OOO has been carried into effect since the close of flit ha'f-year—for which reason it does not ap pear in the accounts. By the completion of this arrange ment the six per cent. stock, which was issued to the con tractors from time to time, has been released, and will be offered to the proprietors as soon as the directors see a favourable opportunity. The directors have to congratu late the proprietors on the results of the past session. The East Kent Company have obtained the act for their Western extension from Strood to St. Mary Cray, and the directors understand that the works are already under contract, and that it is the intention of the East Kent Company to complete their undertaking as rapidly as possible. The di rectors have before pointed out the importance of this line —securing, as it will , to this company the West End conti nental traffic of Dover, and that of the principal watering places on the Kentish 'coast; and they are happy to state that an agreement has been entered into between the com panies for the paesage of the traffic over this line, on terms that will practically secure to this company an annual revenue at least equal to the Brighton toll. The Act for the Victoria Station and Pimlico Railway was also carried successfully through both Houses of Par liament, and - the works will, the directors believe, be commended irnenediatelf. The company's bill for the extension of time for the completion of the Farnborough extension was also passed. - The negotiations with the South-Eastern Company have been continued, and the directors hope that arrangements which are now pending will shortly result in the use of the line by that company fur their long traffic. In conclusion, the directors trust that they may congratulate the proprietors on the prospects of the company. It has, during the five years of its existence, passed through a period of great commercial pressure, and has had to contend with difficulties of no ordinary nature. Now, however, with the line at lelgth open throughout, a large and gradually increasing traffic, fixed working ex penses, and important traffic agreements, the directors see every reason for the fullest confidence in the future, and in the remunerative value of the undertaking." The capital account shows the receipts to have been £677,239, and the expenditure (including a loss of £7,200 on the sale of shares)£673,3Bo 17s. 11d. ' leaving a balance of £3,858 2s. ld. On revenue account the total receipts for the half-year have been £10,301 13s. ld., and the expendi ture £8,670 2s.—showing a balance in favour of the com pany of £1,631115. ld. ley branch shares at £l5 per share, at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum, £8,370, leaving a balance of £2,112. SHREWSBURY AND HEREFORD. The report of the directors of this company states that the expenditure on capital account during the past six months was £12,390, of which £12,116 was for the purchase of the Leominster Canal, and £273 for sidings and other works. The gross receipts of the company for the half-year ending June last show an increase of £4 12g. per cent. over the cor responding half of 1857. The receipts for passengers, parcels, and mails amounted to £35,950, and for merchandise, &c., to £42,750, total £78,700, against £74,316 at the corre sponding half of 1857, showing an increase of £4,384. The rent. receivable from the lessee for the half-year amounted to £12,395, viz.: —E 7,434 at 4 per cent. on the ordinary stock, £1,091 interest on 41 per cent. preference shares, and £3,870 interest on loans. It is proposed that during the remaining four years of the lease Mr. Brassey shall pay to the holders of the ordinary stock of the company 41 per cent. until the gross annual receipts of the line shall exceed £85,000, and when the gross annual receipts exceed that amount then 41 per cent. and also ,one-fourth of any sur plus,. and, further, that the amount of plant and rolling stock to be taken at a valuation at the expiration of the lease shall be extended from an amount not exceeding £50,000 (as mentioned in the lease) to a sum not exceeding £95,000, the former amount being insufficient for the proper working of the railway. _ The Crewe Railway is expected to he opened for traffic on the Ist of September next. The Knighton Railway CoMpany has already commenced its works; it, will connect itself With the company's line at the Craven Arms station, where. facilities will be afforded for the accommodation of its traffic on terms of mutual advan tage.

The half-yearly meetings of these companies were adver tised for yesterday, but no business was ,transacted beyond adjourning for three months to complete the negotiations which arc pending with the South-Western Company. BLYTH AND TYNE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at New castle on Monday—Mr. J. Layceck in the chair. Mr. ARMSTRONG, the secretary, read the report, an ab stract of which has appeared already. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said they felt gratified to be enabled to inform the share holders that while other lines were suffering from reduced trade their trade was increasing; and it was a further source of gratification that this improvement in their revenue arose from the healthy progress of the coal trade of the dis trict. Since the last meeting of the shareholders there had been important changes in the ownership of collieries, the produce of which came on to their line. Arrangements had been successfully entered into to send the coals dowry the line ; and not only had they secured this traffic, but the North Seaton Railway, formerly held by the Messrs. Carrs, having come into the hands of influential parties, the rail way bad entered into an agreement with that company to convey the coals from their collieries. The latter arrange ment would cause an extension of the line. But their ex tensions, unlike those of other companies, would bring them a large increase of traffic. Mr. F. LAMBERT seconded the adoption of the report. Some conversation took place with regard to setting apart so large a sum for the reserve fund, Mr. Alderman HODG SON, Mr. JOBBLING, and others urging that the necessity for it was not apparent, and suggesting that they should add 2 per cent. more to the dividend. The CHAIRMAN replied that their railway, depending so largely upon the teal trade for its revenue, it was essential to have a considerable reserve to meet such a contingency as a pitmen's strike, when they might be deprived of nearly all their trade for a considerable period of time, The report was adopted. 'Die CHAIRMAN then moved a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. on the preference shares, and 8 per cent. on the ordinary and extension shares, which, after a short discus sion, was agreed to. A special meeting was then held, when the CHAIRMAN moved a resolution empowering the directors to issue 12,000 preference shares, bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, with a view to raise -£lOB,OOO for the extension to North Seaton and to camp!ete other works in hand. . _ - The resolution waq agreed to, and, after a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting separated. LEWES AND UCKFIELD. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Monday at Lewes—Mr. R. W. Blencowe in the chair. The - Secretary read the report, which stated that the works had been carried on with the utmost vigour, and the line was almost completed and ready for traffic. The sta tions, which were being constructed by the London, Brip,ittan, and South Coast Company, were progressing rapidly, and it was hoped that they would be sufficiently advanced to permit of the opening of the line for traffic before the close of the month of September. The directors keying called up £3O per share, availed themselves of the borrowing powers of the company, as directed by the pro prietors, and had succeeded in obtaining upon loan a consi derable portion of the sum required, at the rate of 41- per cent. per annum, and had made arrangements for other sums at the same rate. _ _ The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that the progress which they had expected in the erec tion of the stations had not been made, otherwise the line wt , -.1,1 now hays been opened; but he was inf , rtned that it would certainly be ready for traffic by the irrb of nort month, which was within the time originally proposed, and - for the sum originally estimated. Moreover, he believed, that no complaint htd been made by either landowner or occupier of land at the way in which the directors had treated him ; and it was very gratifying to be able to add that the into employed in the construction of the railway had acted in a very creditable manner. Capt. DALBIAC seconded the motion. The Hon. H. BRAND, M.P., said that it was a very im portant undertaking for the district, and the business bad been conducted with great ability. The report was unanimously adopted. Votes of thanks to the chairman and directors for their services were carried unanimously, and the proceedings then terminated. NEWRY AND ARMAGH. Tile following is an extract from the report of the direc tors to be submitted to the third ordinary general meeting of shareholders, to be held in the Market- hauee, Armagh, on Monday next : " The half-yearly accounts to 30th June, 1858, showing the receipts and payments OJ old capital, traffic, and exten sion accounts during that period are herewith submitted to the proprietors. On old capital account it will he seen that the only receipt has been one on account of the seventh call on old shares, and the payments com prise the sum of £4,177 2s. 51 drawn out of the hands of the Accountant-General in England by the Ulster Railway Company, on settlement of the long-protracted suit, Newry v. Ulster, and which has, from thee to time, been brought forward in successive half-yearly balance accounts; the sum of £492 13s. 4d., paid to that company for loss on sale of Consols, purchased many years ago at par. and the sum of £4O, old solicitor's account. A consider able portion of the two latter sums having been paid out of new capital, the debt due from the old company to the new has been consequently increased, and the same now amounts to the sum of £2,196 6s. 3d., as shown by the balance ac count. A reduction and assimilation of the company's goods rates has been made during the past half-year • notwith standing which, it will be seen on comparison of the present half-year's traffic with the correspending six mouths for June, 1856 and 1857, that a considerable increase has taken place in . . the tratlic receipts, which increase your directors have no doubt will go on augmenting, through booking arrange ments being now complete over the Monaghan Extension and Portadown and Dungannon lines. The Banbridge line is expected to be opened for traffic in a few months ; and the Dundalk and Enniskillen line is rapidly approaching completion to Enniskillen ; all of which must necessarily ma terially benefit your present line, as also its extension inland. The following is a comparison of the traffic for six months ending June, 1858, with the two corresponding half years : - - - - June, 1856. June, 1357. June, 1858. Passengers, parcels, horses, carriages, and dogs £476 9 9 £523 13 9 £609 911 Goods and live stock 264 9 G 305 19 1 422 211 £71119 3 £531 11 10 £1,031 12 10 This increase your directors have no doubt will be highly satisfactory to the proprietors, showing, as it does, the self supporting character of the present limited length of line, the working charges on which must necessarily be heavy, continued repairs requiring to be made to the rolling stack, and renewal of sleepers from time to time being made to the permanent way, in lieu of worn-out and decayed ones; all of which, and other sums, properly chargeable to traffic, appear in this half-year's accounts. The present leco motives of the company—purchased so far hack as 1854 —being unfortunately of different construction, have, with the rolling stock, during the past half-year, proved utterly inadequate, both in power and number, to carry on the increased and increasing traffic of the company; and your directors have accordingly been compelled to purchase a new and powerful engine, which they expect to receive from the makers in two menthe. They have also, during the past half-year, purchased and paid for three covered goods waggons, which likewise proving insufficient to carry on the goods traffic, three other goods waggons have been ordered and delivered, as also an additional pair of timber trucks, which your directors propose to pay for out of revenue—several small sums, balance of revenue accounts, having from time to time been added to general revenue account, from which account such payments will be taken. Tim attention of the proprietors is especially directed to the balance of e 9,769135. Bd., which appears to be standing to the debit of Mr. W. F. Spackman, in the leger of the company, and was so handed over by his son, the late secretary, to the present secretary. Your directors have ab stained from pressing for calls made on new shares till they were in a position to announce that they had entered into a contract for some portion of the line; and they are happy to state that, after several tenders had been received , the y had entered into a contract with the well-known con tractors, Messrs. M'Cormick, Greene, and King, for the construction of the new portions of tee line BS extends from Loughgilly to Armagh, a distance of about fourteen miles—for the sum of £77,000, the company finding rails and sleepers ; and as a proof of the good opinion entertained of the line by their contractors, Messrs. M'Corrniek, Greene and King have subscribed for ensi derable number of shares,_ w ith o ut any addition t a c o the contract price. The works will consequently be com menced immediately, and be proceeded towards cempletien. It is right the proprietor, however, should distinctly under stand that the time within which the line can be made tnus', of course, be measured by the promptitude with which all calls are paid up. A very considerable portion of the land required for the extension line has been purchased and paid for since the making up of the half-yearly accounts, and may at once he placed in the hands of the contractors. A fourth call of D per share, payable on the Ist of October next, has been made on the new shares. Your directors continue to be fully satisfied that au immense and remunerative traffic must necessarily pass over a direct line from Newry to Armagh. They consider the contract price as an extremely advan tageous and moderate one, compared to what it would have been a few years back ; and offering, as they believe it to do, to the proprie t o rs, in conjunction with the well known status and responsibility of their contractors, the fairest possible guarantee of the line being well and eco nomically constructed; Old the English directors, besides EASTERN UNION. The half-yearly report to be submitted to the share holders at Ipswich this day says : "The proprietors will observe from the joint revenue account that the traffic receipts of the associated companies for the past half-year are stated to ba £640,504 7s. sd. as compared with £648;316 145., the receipts for the corres ponding half-year of 1857, and the half-yearly proportions of traffic which have been apportioned by the Eastern Coun ties authorities as belonging to this company since Decem ber, 1853, have been as follow : For the half-year ended 30th June, 1854.... £38,315 7 11 51 . 31st Dec., „ . 43,233 8 9 30th June, 1855.1 . .. 39,947 19 10 11 11 31st Dec., .... 45,031 11 3 30th June, 1856.... 41,219 6 3 51 31st Dec., „ .... 49,074 16 0 1/ 30th June, 1857.... 42,925 11 9 /1 31st Dec., „ .. 47,118 8 1 /1 30th June, 1858: :.. 42,743 13 2 but, as mentioned in the last report, the accounts prepared by the Eastern Counties officers have never been adopted by your directors, who claim a much larger sum. Your propor tion of the joint traffic is for the second timeless than for the corresponding period of the preceding year; thecourse pursued by the Eastern, Counties Railway Company accounts for this decrease. That company availing themselves of their posi tion under the agreement as receivers of the associateklines; have deducted as interest on the cost of new works— For the year ended 30th June, 1855 .... £4,500 0 b Far the year ended 30th June, 18.56 .... 7,250' 0 . 61: For the year ended 30th June, 1857 .... 11,000. 0 .0 For the year ended 30111 June, 1858 ....£16,000 0. 43 And although under the agreement they are not entitled t 6 make any such deduction until three months after the.deli very of an account, no accounts have been rendered either to your board or to that of the Norfolk Railway Company; in like manner they hate deducted from the joint traffic large. sums of snoney which they are, by the agreement, bound to pay out of their own funds; and they have put to their own funds solely large traffic receipts, of which you are entitled to a proportion. Your directors have the satisfaction of informing you that the directors of the Norfolk Railway Company are cordially co- operatin7 with them on these sub jects, anti that the solicitors of the twocotnpanies, acting under the advice of the Attorney-General, Mr:-Rmuciell Per, and other eminent counsel, have jointly given formal notice to the Eastern Counties Railway Company requiring them to render accounts, and to cease making their unauthorised deductions, and also requiring them to account for the traffic receipts unduly withheld. In such notice the Eastern Counties Railway Company were informed that in case they disputed the legal principles involved, then that the two companies were ready to concur with them in obtaining from the court in the cheapest and most expedi tious manner a decision thereon; but that if, on the other heed, they-admitted such principles and only contested the amounts, then that the two companies were willing to leave the question of amounts to the decision of qualified arbi trators. To this notice neither of the solicitors have re ceived any reply, although they have a second time applied for one, and, in consequence, the two companies have jointly commenced the necessary legal proceedings for enforcing their rights, and by the same proceedings the functions of the joint committee will be ascertained. Independent of these matters, there was, at the conclusion of the last half-year, a considerable balance due to you from the Eastern Counties Company in respect of your actinittet:, proportion of the traffic; instead of paying over this balance that company, without any notice to your beard, deducted from it a large amount for old claims to which you were not liable. Your chairman and secretary remonstrated against this most earnestly, hut, fruitlessly. An action was there fore brought to enforce payment of the amounts so impro perly deducted, and before any heavy legal expenses were incurred, a proposition was made for a settlement of all questions of account, leaving only the principles of law to be decided by the court ; to this proposition the Eastern Counties Company declined to accede. Subsequently, after the expenses of preparing for trial had been incurred, they proposed that the action should be allowed to stand oser till next term. This was rejected ; the action came on; and then they consented to a verdict for your company, subject to a reference of the accounts to an arbitrator, with power to raise the legal points for the decision of the court. There can be no doubt but that a large amount will be awarded to your company. During the last session of Parliament the East Suffolk Com pany sought to obtain power to enter into separate agree ments with the Eastern Counties Company as regards the joint traffic. Your company, together with the Norfolk Company, opposed the attempt, and succeeded in de feating it in the House of Commons ; a subsequent attempt of the Eastern Counties Company in the House of Lords, to undo what had been done in the House:of Commons, was defeated by the Norfolk Company. The sum allotted by the Eastern Counties directors as this company's proportion of the joint traffic for the last half year is £42,743 13 2 Add to which sundry receipts, amounting to.. 595 16 6 tnealebe upon Making a total of £4 3 ,339 9 8 Th e preferential charges f or d e b en t ure i n t eres t , ren t s , an d i n t er est upon the company' s guarantee d s t oc k s, amoun t t o £38,503 2s. ld.

It is the intention of your directors at the approaching meeting to submit a resolution for the conversion of the company's guaranteed shares into guaranteed stocks. The shareholders will be glad to learn that, from the improvement I .vhich has taken place in the company's affairs, your directors are obtaining loans upon the company's debenture bonds at four per cent. ; that a considerable amount of bonds which bore interest at five per cent. have been exchanged for guaranteed stock, and that most of the new bonds issued in lieu of those so ex changed have been taken at four per cent. The works upon the Woodbridge line are not quite complete, but although a scarcity of workmen, and eneineering difficulties in the parishes of Rushmere and Playford, have delayed the opera tions of the contractor, your directors do net apprehend that the period, at which they indicated in their last report to you that they expected it would be opened, will be much exceeded." • . LEEDS, BRADFORD, AND HALIFAX JUNCTION. The report of the directors of this company states that, notwithstanding the extreme depression of trade during the earlier months of the year, and the long and protracted C9lll - between the Great Northern and the London and the directors are enabled to pay North-Western Companies , a dividend of 41 per cent., and to carry £266 to the reserve fund. With the revival of trade, the traffic over the railway is now assuming a more favourable aspect, and the direc tors have every confidence that it will equal the reason able expectations of the shareholders. A marked improve ment in the local traffic has already been evinced. The attention of the directors is now being given to the im provement of the traffic of the Gildersome and Ardsley branches, and the mineral traffic is being successfully developed. The report of Mr. Fraser, the engineer, states that the main. line has heen recently ballasted throughout, and is now in. a very improved state of repair. The main tenance of the Ardsley braw] was g i ven u p to the direc tors by the contractors in April last; they lift it in good repair. The s tation-houses, warehouses, coal-drops, and ether works, are all in good order. The statement shows the total receipts on capital account to 30th of June last to have been E563;237, of which £41,081 was received in the h a lf- s e a r. The expen diture for the half-year amounted to V 24,147, making the total expenditure on capital account X 361,685, and leaving a balance of £1,552. The revenue account for the half-year shows that £L5,887, had been received, and, after deducting tie expenses, there remainid a balance of £13,120. To this was added £1,856, making the total £14,977.

Scarlett, K.C.8., com manding the South-West District, had a brigade field day of all the available troops in Portsmouth garrison on South sea-common yesterday. He was attended by Lieut.-Col. Conolly, Assistant-Quartermaster-General, and Captain Thursby, Brigade-Major. The day ended with firing from the walls; it was altogether a most imposing spectacle. The first detachment of Royal Sappers and Miners the authorities have decided on sending oat to British Colum bia will leave head-quarters, Chatham, on Thursday next, and embark at Southampton on board the steamer Panama. The detachment consists of 20 men, under the command of Captain R. M. Parson., Royal Engineers, and will be fol lowed in a few days afterwards by 130 non-commissioned officers and men of that corps, who have already been se lected for that service. The Sappers and Miners are to be employed exclusively in the formation of roads from the coast to the gold districts, in the survey of the country, and in all kinds of engineering operations for the improvement of the colony. They will take with them a large supply of sapping and mining tools and everything necessary for the performance of the duty in which they will be engaged. None but the most healthy and robust men belonging to the Royal Engineers will be permitted to proceed to British Columbia, and yesterday and the previous day the non commissioned officers and men selected for this special ser vice underwent a medical inspection at Brompton Barracks. The corps of Royal Engineers being below its required strength, recruiting parties have been despatched from Chat ham to Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, Bath, and Exe ter, for the purpose of raising men. Yesterday a party of non-commissioned officers belonging to the East India Com pany's Sappers and Miners, who have been stationed at Chatham for the purpose of acquiring a knowledge of sap ping and mining, proceeded to Warley previously to em barking for The 2nd Battalion, 20th Regiment, is to move from Clon inel to Waterford on the 25th. It is rumoured again for about the hundredth time that the Curragh Camp is to be broken up after this summer; it being when Aldershott, is available, a useless expense, with our small home force. Ou it NATIONAL D E FENCES.—Government orders have been received at Cardiff for the purpose of leasing some around at Penarth for forts, &c. A flag-staff has been placed to mark the spot, which extends about 240 feet by 140, in a commanding position on Penarth cliff.— x iwansen• 1.1 eral THE COAST DEFENCES.—One of the largest guns in the Ordnance service,:vvhich has remained for some time at Shoehuryness, and has sustained every description of expe rimental test, was this day shipped on board the Govern thrtiter wlitre it will be placed in position (it is said on Soutbsea common), in accordance with the efficient system of coast defence now being carried into effect by the authorities at the War Department. The gun is stated to be from the foundry:of Messrs. Fairbairn, Manchester, and its range is most extensive. The weapon is 17 feet long, 11 feet 3 inches in girth, and carries 13 inch solid shot. Captain Bent and a detachment of 'loyal Artillery returned to heat -quarters this day from Eastbourne, having escorted several kitty f guns, which have been placed in fur the defence o the coast at that station. Numerous heavy guns of long range have been forwarded during the past month to stations on the coasts of Kent and Sussex, and several new batteries for similar service are now completing at . Woolwich arsenal. THE NAVY. Cap'. the Hon. J. 11. Drummond, C. 8., joined the Loral' of the Admiralty at Pembroke on Wednesday evening, to be present. at the launch yesterday of the Windsor Castle. Lady Pakington, wife of the First Lord, has arrived at Pem broke, and was to christen the ship. The Russian Commodore, Count Popoff, Aide-de-Camp to ;ha Emperor, and all his principal officers, also the Consul (Mr. R. K. Wilkinson, of Gosport), were entertained at the Admiralty-house on Wednesday-night, by Admiral Sir G. Seymour, the Commander-in-Chief, at Portsmouth. Yes terday the officers perambulated the town, and were pre sent at the review on Sonthsea Common in the afternoon. In the evening Major-Gen. the Hon. Sir J. Yorke Scar lett entertained them and Mr. Consul Wilkinson at the Government-house. The Russian Commodore visited the Vic tory, accompanied by the Consul, and were duly saluted. The stay of the Russian squadron at Portsmouth will be limited on account of its not being allowed to enter the harbour, which the Commodore was desirous of doing. Had they been allowed to stay and refit, a Russian line-ot-battle ship and a steamer, now at the mouth of the Baltic, awaiting intelli gence of their movements, would have followed them to Spithead. The Industry, 2, screw steam storeship, Master -Com mander G. J. Hodges, arrived at Spithead yesterday after noon from the coast of Africa, and went into harbour. The Growler, 2, gunboat, Lieut. - C ommander 11. Crozier, and the Quail, 2, gunboat. Lieut.-Commander N. Osborn, sailed yesterday afternoon from Spithead for the westward. The Euryalus, 51, screw fr i g ate, Capt. J. 11'. Tarleton, was taken out of dock at Portsmouth yesterday, and went out of harbour and a nchored at Spithead. The Imperieuse, 51, screw frigate, was taken out of the steam basin at Portsmouth yesterday, and went out of har bour for trial of her engines. She is to be laid up in steam reserve. A Royal salute was fired from the garrison and ships in port at Portsmouth yesterday in commemoration of the Prince Consort's birthday. The quarterly meeting of the Portsmouth Royal Naval Club was held yesterday at the Portland Hotel. The line-of-battle-ship Trafalgar, 120, which was towed up from the ordinary to Chatham dockyard for the purpose of being cut down to a 91-gun screw steamer, will not, it is understood, undergo any alterations, and the order for cut ting down that vessel is not to be proceeded with for the present. The Trafalgar is to be sent back to Sheerness. The screw steamer Hero, 91, is ordered to be taken Into the new dock at Chatham for the purpose of being brought. forward for sea. The Pembroke, 60, screw, has left Harwich, and is now tying in Yarmouth Roads. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty : Lieutenant George Stratton and Lieutenant Basil Hall. and Lieutenant G. Suttie, to the Royal Albert ; Lieut. R . ,J. .otliard, additional, to the Cornwallis ; Lieut. C. D. Davies, to the Russell; Ambrose J. A. Berton, master ad ditional, to the Excellent; Charles Parkinson, master addi tional, to the Excellent ; Frederick B. Youel, master, to the Racoon ; J. B. Walker, master's assistant, to the Argus ; H. E. Kitchen, assistant-paymaster, to the Cumberland; and Frederick A. Pountney, clerk, to the Hannibal. Mr. Henry Fairfax, mate of he r Ma j est y 's ship Diadem, has been promoted to Lieutenant. THE NEW TURKISH GUNBOAT.—The Turkish gunboat Boyana, 162 tons, has made a short trial trip of a very satisfactory nature, an average of nine knots per hour having been accomplished. Since our report of the launch, the vessel has been beautifully fitted as regards the cabins,. and has received the warlike complement of a pivot gun at the bow to carry 121 b. shot. With Messrs. Ravenhill and. Co's 16-horse power engines, all other appurtenances, stores, and 10 tons of coal, the Boyana draws water four inches , within the specified draught (three feet) ; this may be con sidered a feat even by Mr. Thompson, the builder, whose, achievements in the way of shipbuilding on the diagonal. principle arc well-known. We believe that several eminent firms were applied to respecting the building of a gunboat for shallow rivers, but they declined to attempt compliance with the somewhat exacting specification of the Turkish go vernment in respect to draught. The Boyana is all teak, and is classed at Lloyd's, A 1,14 years. CRYSTAL PALACE.—ONE SHILLING DAT.—Yes were 5,229 ; day the admissions on payment do. by season tickets, 625; total, 5,854. ORTHOPCF.DIC HOSPITAI.—The half-yearly court of the governors of this institution was held yesterday in the board rcom of the hospital, Sport-stt Quarles Barris in the chair. The re stated that there was now accommodation in the hospital for 44 in-patients.. At the commencement of the period under review every bed in the hospital was occupied. During the half-year 38 new patients were admitted and the same number discharged, so that as a bed became vacant it was immediately occupied.
