CITY, Two o'CLocK. The return from the Bank of Eug,land for the 'seek ending the 25th instant shows some very satisfactory features. In the reserve of notes there IS an augmentation of over a quarter of a million, r and the other securities show a small diminution. eo l he bulli on , ow i ng to t h e cessa ti on o f s hipments to the . 11tili ent, has been increased to the extent of about widr° o and it is very probable that this sum e considerably augmented by the expected ar rivalsufrom the United States, Australia, &c. The publle depo s it s s h ow a large increase, but in the pri vate deposits th ere i s a slight falling off. The active circulation has also decreased to a small extent. In the t o tber items of the balance-sheet there is little see n of imp or t an ce to report, and they will be in the subjoined table : Active Circulation Decrease £20,362,655 62,380 Bullion 17,654,506 Increase 3,375,735 - Decrease Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Decrease Seven-day and Other Bills 783,693 Decrease Government Securities 10,884,244 Increase Other Securities 15,064,472 Decrease Notes Uuemployed Increase f urther sum of almost £9 0 , 000 in gold was added he bullion yesterday. F ur ther supplies, which f;" . no doubt be similarly appropriated, are expected Australia next week. While the exports of specie crmitinue so limited, the accumulation will headily proceed, and therefore a much larger Mal than that above recorded is not considered s i D iscount accommodation is rather more in request. co nee the date of the a bove return the inquiry on olercial account has slightly influenced the busi "a transacted at the Bank, as well as in the open r m ar i ket, but the alteration thus far has been very ed• Several large payments, however, will have h t e made next week, in addition to the commercial a t i 8 maturing on the 4th. These may temporarily wti?,lulate the demand, and strengthen the quotations. b a t t P r ,the present extensive supplies and the pro alter' of a large influx of specie, any immediate ation of the minimum is deemed improbable. Itkgetters from Liverpool report that the Cotton di s . h et, yesterday, closed quietly-7,000 bales were e s ed of, at about former values. a b o l nee Monday last the imports of specie have been Ut £ 1 07,186, and the exports £3,215, exclusive th:h e follo w i ng shipments, direct from London to I.„..Continent, during the week ending Thursday Rest .

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 stocks and loans, leaves a balance of £13,728 13 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 lime pap, your directors think that they may congratulate you that the proposed dividend is only 2s. 6d. le,s than the one declared for the corresponding period of last year. Your directors regret that the various questions in dispute between this 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 18.54, shouM be speedily determined as a necessary step to the ultimate amalgamation of the companies,which 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 counsel, 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 no reply has been received, and the two companies have jointly commenced the necessary , legal proceedings for ascertaining their rights and for dening 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, 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. lam 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 ;e200,000 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. lam 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, he must have been fami liar with them, or if not, he ought to have been, for he had the opportunity 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 in 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 to what are the facts really connected with the circumstances under which this company's works were handed over to the Eastern Counties Company. The Eastern 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 the system should be introduced on the Eastern Counties line, in order 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 applied to other purposes; that sidings had been taken up an d used for other pu r p oses ; that timber had been taken from our bridges, to save expense elsewhere; and when that gentleman vacated his position in that company in the a brupt way in which he left , b e 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. Brough, before he took the re sponsibility, to have a careful investigation iato the state of the works. He did so, and then arose the exposition of the alarming state of that rail wa y . It is mimics enough, although sidings had been removed and used elsewhere, no new sidings was laid down on the Norfolk line without our 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 resp bility of the superintendent, who, I believe, carefully kept from them the whole of the proceedings which he adopted in regard tolileuse 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 amalgamation—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 offer 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 lie stated at the last meeting I should not place any confi lence in his figures, because if he did not know them to be untrpe at the time he ought to have known it.

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 greatly miss the pleasant 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 smile and friendly greeting of the kind-hearted old man, and the poor and needy will have lost a generous 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 had the honour of his acquaintance.—Glasgoto Daily .Bulletin. was 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 £1.20,000 to £130,000 per annum. 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 - irr 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 Bris!ol competeswith the originel railway, the London and North-Western, for its traffic to Liverpool; t hat 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 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 for the interests of this company that the amalgamation should take place at the earliest possible moment, anti 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 folly and fairly developed, and the more so because your position in regard to the system is very peculiar. The Norfolk con solidated stock is vsry generally misunderstood by the public. In truth, it is in the nature almost of guaranteed stock, except that it has advantages over an: above that stock, because unless the traffic of the Eastern Counties sys'eut should permanently decrease, there is no probability that our dividend will be affected at all. On the other hand, you must participate in the gradual increase which is taking place in all railways, and we believe most 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 of 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 amalsatnation. In the year 1854 it was 21 per cent. upon the stock of this company; in the year 1855 it was 3 per cent.; in 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 LI 17s. 6d. per cent. ; and it 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 handed in by a shareholder against paying interest upon the capital in ' vested in the Fakenham and Wells Railway. Now, I will call way your was attention promoted this originof company tha t i railway. Im T e ha v t e arraitla 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 CHAIRMAN—Of course you will. With regard to the traffic for the last seven months, although that has been .he extensions, great outcry has been raised that the Eastern although t vg a y b h a d part of s the er y e e e tt a r t -- . tre working half of the expensesyear— glarge rate Counties has been damaged by its extensions and alliances.

That compa ny, it may be assumed, is now in part of the subject, and come to that which is more interest- receipt of £3,000 to £3,500 a-year. In the ordinary nature ing to you, viz., the ter ms u p on which we now stand with oL o Theraoiolwaypr difference it cannot be long before it will reach y a -e betweena!: Suppose 65a d that 50 to h percent. a dead upon the Eastern Counties Company.

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 an end to by wise and conciliatory measures; but the advantage of that amalgamation is more in favour of the Eastern 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`LAREN—What do you say, sir. 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 begged to observe that nothing which had fallen from him would justify the honourable proprietor in making such an assertion. Mr. M'Laren had entirely misrepresented him. Contractors and engineers were the last people in the world who should he called upon to work railways in the way he (the chairman) had suggested. The persons to whom he alluded were the great carriers, such as Messrs. Pickford, Mr. Chaplin, and Mr. Horne.- Mr. M`LArtErt said it had 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 conffeting 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 bead 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 tLe 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 18. 19 He - was ready to prove, on fair and equitable ii! kelpies, that the efftet of the agreement before the amalgamation between the companies took place was to cause a loss to the Eastern Counties to the extent of £140,000 or £lO,OOO, simply for the benefit of the Norfolk. (Cries a " Oh, oh.'t) He meant the first agreement. He was ready to prove what be had stated in the public papers. Ile must bring to the recollection of the chairman that the whole or the rolling stock of the Norfolk, the stores and eve, ything else, were taken by the Eastern Counties because the Norfolk were unable to pay the money borrowed f. otn the former. He must repeat what he had stated at a previous meeting, that tke 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, hut that company had not paid anything in this respect. This matter ought to have been au element in the calculations made between the companies at the time of the amaleatnation. 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. M'CLAREN repeated that it was £209,000. The CHAIRMAN—But there were the facts, and unless the Eastern Counties kept back an enormous amount, which lie 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 had stated, £62,000. This was the expenditure over and above the guaranteed cast of the working. Mr. 3PLAREN—Now you have stated the fact. The CHAIRMAN—What 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 coat 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 rolling 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 Countierfwere 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 Pre 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.—TVnt. Clark, 19, Win. Burke, 14, and Margaret Clines, 26, three most deter mined pickpockets, were chareed before Mr. Bingham under the fallowing circumstances:— _ _ _ Charles Cole, 317 A, a very active detective officer, said that on the previous night, at eleven o'clock, he saw the two lads at the corner of Coventry-street, and suspecting theta 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 parsing into St. M artin's court, he saw him try another. He spoke to the gentleman, who seemed indignant at the interruption, and would not take the trouble to see whether be had lost anything or not. He still kept the prisoners in view and followed them back to Coventry-street t where, after they had sat on the steps of the Argyll Rooms tor 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 a•tempts, 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 findinn, four silk handkerchit f on Clines, an Indian str.tw cigar case, containing a purse v ith Gs., and a female's collar. The prisoners, who seetn to be adepts in picking pockets, were remanded. THIS DAIS SHIPPING. LONDON, Aug. 28.—Wind this day at noon, N.N.W.; moderate breeze and fine.
