An erroneous Impression exists that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered Practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are egally qualified can readilybe distinguished —a point of great huportance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are equally requisite. In the.new edition of Self-Preservation,' facts of pars mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in- Volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation. in cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the Influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits. indiscri tninate excesses, improper diet, hardship, or by injudicious treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con- Junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had been pronounced impossible.

The following is the account of our own corre spondent who went in a Chinese hired boat : After getting right up into the heart of the city of Fatshan my boatmen appeared afraid to go any further, and said the Cheong-yeongs (Braves) of the Kow-chap-look-heang (96 villages) were on shore in great force, and that if I attempted to land they would kill me; nor could I induce them to go any further ; so I very unwillingly turned back, but landed soon afterwards at a little mandarin station. The officer in charge was very civil, but as I couldie,t jabber more than Por shonta (I don't understan „ in his Pekin dialect, I had to give it up after elicit ing from him, however, that there was no fear, and that I might walk from end to end of the place without molestation. " You heard that ?" I said to the boatmen, " now come along." So off we went ; and never did I meet more civility any where in China. Presently we came to one of the fellows that the boatmen had pointed to as being a Brave, so I asked him in Punsee if he was a Cheong-yeong ? " No," he replied ; "lam a Low kong" (constable). " Ah, indeed; well just follow me, and keep the small boys off;" and this he did most willingly. There was not a bit of need of an escort, I believe ; but I felt all the more comfortable at having him. It took me (I ti me d i t com i ng back) just 25 minutes to walk from end to end of these suburbs. I should say, therefore, that they are about a mile and a half in length, along the river's bank. On this western side, or purlieus, as they have to be termed, th ere are a rare lot of brothels, opium smoking shops, and gam bling tables. I never saw such a number of com mon women in a Chinese town before, and they appeared as haggish and as tawdry as they are in the streets of Taipin gs h an , in H ong Kong. Nor, excepting at Macao, had I seen so many gambling tables. Crossing the stream I landed at a merchant's wharf, met the proprietor at the door and was smilingly welcomed, and permitted to pass through into the back streets. It was a joss paper warehouse of great depth, as deep almost as the old Chinchew Hong under the city wall at Canton, and one of a long line running up the river's bank for upwards of a mile. Behind these hongs was the street—the most public in the place, and very well stocked with china shops. Some of them were watchmakers, many of them physic, and all of the same class as we see in the western suburbs at Canton. I took a turn all round the block beyond this again, and this brought me to the Ootow or Coco growing fields. The Chinese say Fatshan was pretty well burnt down when the vessels evacuated four years ago, and that a good deal of it was de stroyed there are ample evidences ; but it could never have been the wonderfilly large place we used to fancy it was. A report is very current that the shops were all shut up on that day, and I am inclined to think that when the admiral traversed the streets in this part, they, or some of them, must have been closed, but they were all open as I went through, and though the shopkeepers looked curiously at me there were no attempts to annoy. After a quarter of an hour's ramble, I debarked at the same steps at which I landed, and pulled up the river to the extreme end, near which. I found the admiral and suite just coming away. As they left, I went ashore, and had a good tr u d ge till I thought I had better not go any farther. I saw nothing here more than is to be seen in Canton's western suburbs, and not so much, for there was far less bustle. Indeed, I hardly know whether Ho nam-streets are not as good as Fatshan's; indeed, there is no such building there as Hipqua's ancestral hall by the side of the creek. I did not think it worth while to be too far in the rear of the men-of-war boats ; however, I was determined to land aga i n further down, and see what kind of a ga t eway was the Ching fow moon—a kind of Parisian triumphal arch, or rather three arches—a tug.w a y i n the centre and littl e ways on each side. There were thousands of di r ty Chi neses heads gazing at me as I came ashore, and some of them ran like wind, as though they were startled. However, I saluted them with " Chin Chin Fok-khi," and told them I only wanted to look at the pretty gateway, and they let me pass most willingly. So I walked through it, and took a note of it, and then walked round and out by the other. As I passed in the large area on the water front of it, a fellow, that I had seen over on the shore, came up and repeated the process of shaking hands with me, as though he was exceedingly glad to see me. lam inclined think from the viciousness of his countenance that he must have been a head man among the unwashed. I did not stop any longer, so getting into the boat I followed down, and was not long in coming up with the admiral, who was sailing down gently in a huge flower boat. Afterwards I landed at a ferry called Pochin and leading to one of the 96 villages. I walked a short distance into the country and saw that it was really a very beautiful woodland region, with plenty of birds about and perhaps hares, and other game if one took a dog to start them. Alto gether it was a most pleasant day's travel. In conclusion, I am the first unarmed Englishman over this ground.—China Telegraph, THE NEAPOLITAN EXILES. BRISTOL, WEDNESDAY. The Nimrod steamer arrived here from Cork at about eight this morning, having on board 17 of the Neapolitan exiles. The following are their names and professions :—Francisco Solace, priest; Ezrilio Pepucil, lawyer; Anniello Ventre physi cian ; Filadil P o S o d ano , c h em i st ; Micha el Colafiiore, physician ; Stanislao Laininea, lawyer ; Emilio Maffei, priest; Giuseppe Trefissi , lawyer ; Ferdinand Biancui, priest ; Giuseppe del Drago, canon and doctor of theology Rocco Mo rgan t e , chemist ; Angelo Raffailli Picioli, dean ; R occo Grace, landowner ; Carlo Pavone, lawyer ; Filippo Talione, lawyer; Raffailli Fravia, merchant; Felice Barelli, professor of theology. An immense crowd assembled to give the exiles a reception. The Mayor and Town Council were in attendance, and addressed the strangers in terms expressive of the sympathy felt for their sufferings and unfortunate position. The streets were every where crowded, and the windows of the houses filled by females. The bells rang merry peals, and the loud English hurrahs of the masses—responded to by the more dulcet, but not less heartfelt, vitas of the Italians —made the occasion one of the most exciting character. At the White Lion Hotel the distinguished strangers were entertained at a mag nificent dejeuner, over which the chief magistrate presided, and to which about 70 leading citizens sat down. At the conclusion of the repast, the Mayor again welcomed the exiles to our shores, and Signor Petronelli, Signor Luigi Prunio, Signor Settem brini, and others of the exiles, expressed their sense of the kindness displayed by the English people to themselves and their unfortunate brethren. The Mayor said there was an immense concourse in front of the hotel, and if the exiles would allow him to introduce them he should be glad. His worship then conducted the distinguished party to the win dows, where, on presenting themselves, they were cheered vociferously, and further addresses were delivered. The party were then placed in carriages and taken to see Clifton and the Downs, after which they proceeded to the Angel Inn. They will leave by the mail train to-night. Yesterday a general meeting of the gentlemen who had formed themselves into a committee to getup a public d emons t rat i on i n the spacious Vestry all of St. Pancras, on behalf of the Neapolitan exiles, took place at the Britannia Tavern, Camden town, for the purpose of deciding on what steps should be taken in consequence of the letter which had appeared in the public journals from some of the leading exiles, expressing a wish that no such public meetings on their behalf should take place. Mr. D. E. Cameron, churchwarden, - presided ; and Colonel Dickson and a number of influential gen tlemen were present. Mr. J. It. Hooper, the hon. secretary, read letters from the Right Hon. Sir B. Hall, M.P., Mr. Edwin James, M.P., Mr. IL Han bury, M.P., the Rev. T. Dale, M.A., the vicar, and others, expressing their deep sympathy and willing ness to aid the came ; and one from the central committee formed on behalf of the exiles, expressing a hope that s h ou ld a pu bli c meetingbe held, it would be divested of any political character. The letter from Se ttembrini and the other exiles having also been read, expressing a hope that public meet ings would not be held, the Chairman remarked that nothing could more distinctly evince the true nobility of character possessed by those unfortunate men in whose behalf the English people had had their feelings aroused. In deference to those suf fering patriots, although the representative vestry of that parish had granted the use of the Vestry Hall for a public meeting, they must now alter their tactics, but at the same time they need not relax in their exertions for the purpose of raising a worthy subscription for that parish. (Hear, hear.) It was th en resolved that a p u bli c meeting should not be held, but that steps should be taken for raising a sum by means of private subscription. A long list of subscriptions already received was announced, a number of them small contributions from the humbler classes. NORWICH, MARCH 23. This city, in common with the rest of the empire, is showing its sympathy with the exiles. A com mittee, formed for the purpose of receiving sub scriptions to alleviate their necessities, includes Sir S. Bignold, late conservative M.P. for Norwich, and several of the leading citizens, of various poli tical opinions. THE .REFORM BILL. When the Tory aristocracy assume that the middle classes are ready to respond to their call, and prepared to make common cause with them against any real extension of the suffrage, they reckon with out their host. It may, indeed, be true that a cer tain superficial section of the middle classes, ren dered selfish by excessive wealth, and subservient by occasional contact with those who are socially above them, would rally to the standard of resistance, and abuse the opulence and influence acquired in com merce or in trade to thwart the enfranchisement of laborious industry. And it may be true that scat tered up and down a land so populous and indus triously diversified as ours, individuals, or even groups of individuals, may be found needy or mean enough to lend themselves to the work of faction at the bidding of those whose motives they do not pause to scan, and whom they are accustomed, with out well knowing why, to call "their betters." But the thoughtful, intelligent, enterprising, self , reliant bulk of the middle classes are no more to be wheedled or bullied into joining a crusade against the working population, as such, than they are to he caught by the fluttering ribands of a recruiting sergeant, or captivated by his drum and fife. Enlist ment, whether for political or military service, is not a popular word in their vocabulary. They have not been brought up to wear any man's badge, and nothing but the manifest sense of national danger would reconcile any large proportion of them to don even for a day the Queen's livery. To be crimped, and drilled, and told to march at the bidding of a churlish, over-reaching, and bigoted oligarchy against the mass of their neighbours, customers, clients, and working hands is just about the last thing in the whole world that they could be per suaded to do. Their strongest interests and their best feelings, their most venerated traditions and their deepest prejudices, concur to render them in vincibly averse to any proceeding of the kind ; and should the experiment be practically tried the result will signally verify what we say. The middle classes, to whom electoral power was given by the Reform Act of 1832, are not, indeed, exempt from the consciousness or love of power. But the love that makes us jealous and tempts us to be unjust must be associated with a vivid perception of the value of what we prize, or a vivid realisation of the fact that we either do or may exclusively possess it. And if the present House of Commons were really chosen equally and fairly by electoral circles of Ten Pound Householders, so that every man amongst them should be made practically to feel that he exercised a certain and definite con trolling power over the most potent assembly in the world, we might perhaps entertain a fear lest a grudging spirit should render them unwilling to enlarge their numbers, and so diminish their collec tive and individual influence. But it is admitted on all hands that no such state of facts has any existence. One-third of the members of the House of Commons are confessedly appointed and sent thither by members of the House of Lords. Another third are returned, some by their own influence as landed proprietors, some by their money as jobbers, and some by a combination of influences in which the free and independent suffrages of the few Ten Pound electors that vote in the various small boroughs is decidedly the least important. We fear we are far exceeding the mark if we say, for argu ment sake, that the remainder of the 220 are returned bona fide by majorities consisting of middle-class men. It would puzzle us exceedingly to name anything like that number of gentlemen in the present Parliament who we could honestly say we believed had been so returned. So that instead of the present electoral class possessing, or fancying that they possess, that predominant power in the State which her Majesty's Ministers would fain cajole them into fancying they do, they are not after all able to hold their own, or anything like their own, with the greedy and grasping few, who, now that their political craft is in danger, modestly call on the Ten Pound electors to make common cause with them in defending it. Common cause ! There is none, and they kno w iit ; and so do we. There is not a borough n England, Ireland, or Scotland whose representation during the last five-and-twenty years the aristocracy could filch from the middle class, that they hav e no t recklessly seized and used as their own : and as for the counties, Lord Derby h imse lf h as put upon record the impudent declaration that if you but tell him to which West-end Club most of the large landowners belong, he can tell you unerringly who are the members. Had oligarchy kept up the semblance of justice or fair dealing with the electoral body, it might now with a better grace call on that body to come to the rescue of its PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, SD. doomed prerogatives. But neither in the selec tion of candidates nor in the mode of voting has there been ever the shadow of regard for public opinion ; and of the party that now in despair cheer with frantic vociferation the elevation of their new standard of " Middle Class Monopoly" there are not perhaps a score who have been re turned to Parliament by the unbiassed or sponta neous choice of middle-class men. Nor is this all. Granting, for argument sake, that one in every three of our present representatives owes his return in a greater or less degree to the genuine influence of the industrious portion of the community en franchised in 1832, what portion of that community is by just distribution and division of electoral rights made to value or enabled to feel its power ? Is it not admitted on all hands that, by the prepos terous inequality of constituencies, and the exces sive size of many of them, all sense of the value of the franchise is individually lost ; and that thou sands and tens of thousands of ten-pound house holders in large towns have long abandoned the thought of exercising an apparently , useless privi lege ? Will these men turn out and fight for the exclusive possession of that which they habitually spurn as worthless ? Or will the independent minority of a country town, who have found them selves, because of their fewness, overborne and set at defiance by the menials of " My Lord," or the vassals of " Sir John," feel that it is for their ad vantage to keep up the ex c l us i on o f th e i r fi ve pound neighbours, with - whose aid they might pro bably emancipate their borough ? But truly has it been said that hypocrisy is the late born child of wrong. ,is irt:r energetic, and thoughtful England regards with just and bitter resen-ment the way , in which the aristocracy has systematically cheated and baffled the nominally powerful classes, whom now it calls on to take close order in oppo sition to expansion and progress. Its flatteries and professions of friendship come too late. Had they been earlier they might have been deemed kind, and thereby made some dupes. Now they will deceive nobody. The educated, frugal, inventive, and orderly men of the working classes are our natural allies, whdse aid we have long desired to obtain, and whose participation in the privileges we ourselves possess we feel it to be our interest as well as our duty by every legitimate means to facilitate. We don't want to be swamped, but we don't fear being so. There is not the least danger of too much being conceded to waged labour, or humble householding. The only danger is that there will be to a little.—Daily News. THE MARRIAGE LAW. The debate on the Marriage bill on Tuesday exhibited the usual amount of biblical criticism. Lord Wodehouse had deeply and laboriously con sidered the chapter in Leviticus, and was armed with his interpretation of it. So were Lord Albemarle and Lord Lifford. In fact, certain speakers in both houses are possessed once a-year with a deep acquaintance with Levi ticus. A great display takes place, and members begin to talk as if they were Doctors of Divinity. The next year we have it all over again, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, the Councils, the Canons. There are the same quotations, the same interpretations, and the same suprise that any other interpretations can possibly be given. We do not feel called upon to enter into this part of the question. Whatever may be the interpretation of Leviticus, as a Christian nation we are undoubtedly deeply interested in the institution of marriage, and are justified in protect ing it in every way we can which is not unfairly burdensome and scrupulous. It is hardly denied that there would be enormous social disadvantages attending an abolition of the present law. This class of evils may be considered to be overruled by other claims, but the fact of their existence is not disputed. Lord Wodehouse, indeed, by way of show of argument, says that a respect able man would be more influenced by the fact of his wife's existence than by any Act of Parliament; but, however respectable a man may be, he cannot help the fact that by the abolition of this law his wife's sister immediately becomes a person whom he may one day marry. That is a change of relationship which is made for him. The question then is, has the law a right to interfere to pre7ent a class of acknowledged evils in the sphere of marriage ? It has undoubtedly the right to do this in every other case ; has it no right to do this in the case of marriage ? We observe that some speakers maintain an unlimited Jus Divinum in marriage. Lord Albemarle talks of the present law as " a gross violation of the rights of conscience," as if a man was made to com mit a sin by not marrying his wife's sister if he liked her. Marriage, then, is entirely sacred from the interference of the law in the opinion of these speakers, and the " right of conscience" must pre vail against all considerations of expediency, how ever clear and certain. We have no right to con sider the general good of society, the general security of married life itself, or anything else ; everything must give way to the simple alleged Divine right, or natural right, •that a man has to marry any woman whom he wants to marry. But this is an extreme view. We cannot, as members of society, argue the question:upon abstract grounds simply. We are bound to consider the general good in the way in which we deal with marriage, and cannot ignore plain and strong expediency when we see it. The only real question is, then, whether the grievance of such a prohibition as this is so heavy and severe as to outweigh all the acknowledged considerations of expediency the other way, and on this point we are prepared to join issue. We cannot see, for our own part, that any real grievance is made out. What is the state of the case ? Our ill-used widower comes after a certain time to consider the question of a second marriage. He has the whole female world to choose from, with one exception, and that is his wife's sister, whom he knows it is illegal t o marr y. A re hi s affections, then, so entirely beyond his own control as that, knowing the prohibition of the law in that one single quarter, while all the rest of the world is free to him, he must needs overlook the whole female world which is open to him, and devote himself to the one object which is forbidden ? He will find it very difficult to persuade any candid, reasonable man, that there is not considerable perversity or great weakness in such a choice as this. We really cannot tell him that he has any great grievance. Grievances are comparative things ; anything may, by brooding over it, be swelled into a grievance, but the question is whether, considering the fair amount of sacrifice which society has a right to expect from the indi vidual in return for the immeasurable benefits which it confers upon him,he has any right to talk of himself as a poor, ill-used man, and a martyr to the tyranny of law. Is this the only prohibition, we should like to know, to a man's marrying a woman whom he likes ? One would imagine, from the way in which some persons talk, that it was, and that, if it were removed, the "right of con science" would have full swing, and not a single obstacle stand in the way of the matrimonial Jits Divinum. But everybody is aware that matrimony is a subject which teems with obstacles. She is the most vexed, harassed, delayed, thwarted, shackled, and chained divinity in the whole Pantheon. Alt kinds of social obstacles encounter her—differences of rank, fortune, religion, age, will of parents on the one side or on the other. What proportion of men have married the first woman whom they wanted to marry ? A choice was made, affections were bestowed, perhaps the lady herself was not unwilling ; but obstacles arose, and the consequence was, that the lover, barred in one quarter took refuge in another. We do not say this to defend one single additional obstacle t o marr i age on the part of the law, if it is unnecessary and gratuitous; still the prohibition now in question is, as a matter of fact, only one small and narrowly operating re striction of the law, which comes at the tail of a whole host of social restrictions. It is not as if men were wholly unaccustomed to be thwarted on the subject of marriage. Thousands and thousands have every day to make a second choice, because obstacles stand in the way of the first. A man who discovers in himself a year or so after his wife's death the secret beginnings of an attachment to her surviving sister has, if he checks the rising feeling only a trial to go through which fifty thousand people :go through _every day in a mu c h more seve re form. These impediment s i n i the world of matrimony are ndeed so common that society speaks of them not always in a very grave or sympathetic tone. We do not for a moment join in such hardheartedness; there are few more dis agreeable things to bear; still w e mus t o b serve that people in general joke a good deal about these sad matters, and they would not do so if they were not a very comm on form of h uman t r i a l. Does the existing law, then, secure any large and important advantages? Does it act as a safe guard to married life ? Is it of real service to the relations between the husband and his wife's sisters? Does it put the matrimonial connections on the proper basis, set people at their ease, and stop the very first unfaithful or awkward thought in lunine?

EXTRAORDINARY DEATH OF A L UNA TIC IN AN MUFTI HOUSE. Yesterday an investigation took place in the board-room of the Strand Union, Bow-street, before Mr. Bedford, on the body of a man named William Death, aged 40, whose body was discovered in a complete state of nudity, under the following cir cumstances : Mr. Newell, landlord of the Ship Tavern, Hanover-court, Long-acre, said he had known the deceased for about six months as a customer, but had, from his very eccentric manner, considered him deranged. Francis Boston, No. 6, Hart-street, Covent garden, said deceased came on the Thursday night, about ten o'clock, and he shaved him ' • but on account of the lateness of the hour he refused the request of deceased to dress his hair. The deceased left his shop, muttering to himself that " Now he had £l,OOO he should open a public-house ; but he must first have a candle to see to dress himself." William Adkinson, beadle at the Piazza, Covent garden,. then stated that he had for some time known the deceased, but had latterly considered him of very weak intellect. On Friday night he (witness) dreamed that deceased had committed sui cide by hanging himselfin the house in White Hart street. On the following day (Saturday) he became so uneasy that he determined to visit deceased, for the dream made a deep impression on him. He first, however, went to Mr. Robins's room, and told the porter there, who consented to accompany him. On entering the house No. 3, White Hart street, they called to deceased, but on receiving no answer proceeded to the front room on the first floor, and on entering were horrified to see the de ceased lying on his face in a corner of the room in a perfect state of nudity, and quite dead. Medical assistance was obtained without delay. The evidence of Mr. Paynter, surgeon, showed that after a careful and minute post mortem exami nation he came to the conclusion that deceased had died from apoplexy. On lookinc , at deceased he found that his face was quite disfigured or flattened from lying on it. He considered deceased must have been dead about two days. It further appeared that the deceased had £6O deposited in a savings bank, which, from remarks he had made, he intended to keep, so that he should be entitled to vote if the new Reform Bill became law. The Coroner, in summing up, remarked that the case was one of the most extraordinary ever brought under his notice, but had most satisfactorily in all particulars been made quite clear. The Jury, after a short interval, returned a ver dict in accordance with the medical testimony. The inquiry then terminated. The Bishop of London was elected a Governor of the Charter-house, in the room of the late Earl of Ripon, on Tuesday last. Another vacancy has occurred among the Governors of that foundation by the demise of the Earl ODOM. 1 00 1 0 0 2 00 1 00 2 00 1 00 2 00 1 00 2 00 5 00 1 00 1 0 0 2 00 2 00 5 00 5 50 10 10 0 1 10 1 1 0 10 0 0 1 10 10 0 0 1 10 1 10 5 50 5 50 5 00 2 '2 0 1 00 0 10 0 5 00 5 50 10 10 0 20 0 0 50 0 0 25 0 0 5 00 2 00 5 00 2 20 2 20 5 00 5 50 G ~Z~ = 2~2 / r RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. SCOTTISH NORTH-EASTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company - w as held yesterday at Radley's Hotel—Mr. Stirling. in the chair. • The secretary read the minutes of the last tiir o meetings, which were confirmed. The report was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of t he report, said the expenditure on capital accou during the past half-year was very small. Some, of the outlay had been for cottages at level crossly igs, by which greater economy and safety in work l u g would be effected, and another portion of the outlay had been expended on refreshment ro oras at Aberdeen, which would give them a good i re turn in the shape of rent. When they looke ri at the increase of £4,400 in their revenue for the past half-year, as compared with the correspeni ling period of last year, he thought it very satisfactory, considering the depression that had prevailed at • the principal places on the line. There was an iner ease in nearly every item of their traffic, and th.ey had every reason to exp ec t t h at the traffic would con tinue to increase. The through rates to Inverness were established in November last, but very little had resulted from them to the present time. They had carried only 374 tons of through tral,fic in the that the increase in their reeeipts R hau uee ohiefly obtained on thei r own li ne. - The through traffic would require'a consid era bl e time to develope it. The increase in -their w orking ex. penses had been £2,137, of which £1,86 7 consisted of items which were not to be found in. the corre sponding period of last year, so that the actual in crease in their working expenses was not above £3OO to earn the £4,400. The directors had exer cised the strictest economy in working the line, but, on the other hand, they had expended a larger sum than usual on improvements in the permanent way. They had nearly constructed two new enginei out of revenue to replace two old engines of the Ar broath and Forfar Railway that had mot been worked on the line for four years. One of the new engines was now running on the line. Their work ing stock was not sufficient for the traffic, and consequently repairs were being continually made which would not be requisite if they had a greater number of engines and carriages. He did not wish to open the question respecting the Dundee and Arbroath lease, but he hold the same opinion of it as at the last meeting. He was sorry to say they were compelled to oppose some bills in Parliament, but he trusted that some arrangement would be come to with the Scottish Central Railway Com.. pany which would render further opposition unne cessary. They were also anxious to protect the rights of the Scottish Midland portion of their company in respect of running powers over the Newtyle Railway, which question was now before Parliament. In adding up the arrears of guaranteed interest on the 6 per cent. stock, it was found that a mistake had occurred to the extent of £2,152, • which it was proposed to add to the £71,000 of 31 per cent. stock which had been created for the pur pose of paying off those arrears. The interest on the £2,152 had been reserved out of revenue, so that the above addition to the 31 per cent. stock would not increase their preference charges. Mr. MILLER seconded the motion for the adop tion of the report. Mr. KINLOCH advocated the establishment of in creased facilities for persons travelling from Lon don or Edinburgh to Inverness; at present there was a day lost at Aberdeen in consequence of the want of a proper arrangement of the trains to con vey persons onward to the north. When the facili ties were increased the through traffic would in crease. He recommended an alliance with the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Company, and also with the Dundee and Arbroath with a view to secure the traffic to the south. He thought the prospects of the railway were good, and that they were in a similar position to the North British some years ago, when they paid no dividend, but by good management they had since paid 21 per cent., and would pay more. Mr. ADAMS thought the passenger traffic might be considerably increased by a more judicious arrangement of the trains and fares. Mr. HARTRIDOE thought the directors endea voured to do the best they could, and he was of opinion the company did wisely not to lease the Dundee and Arbroath Railway, because the traffic on that line had become less every week since, with the exception of one week, as compared with the corresponding period of last year. He would be glad to see the traffic increase on that line, as it would be an indication of their own traffic increas ing. With regard to the proposed lease of the Dundee and Arbroath Railway, he thought the directors should not have disguised the fact from the shareholders that if they had entered into that agreement the rent would have taken precedence o f their preference shares, which were not yet covered by the net revenue. Mr. SPICER had at a former meeting expressed himself decidedly opposed to leasing any line, or forming alliances with other companies. Let them keep free, accommodate all the traffic they could get, and afford every facility for through traffic. The CHAIRMAN explained that the Dundee and Arbroath could have earned sufficient to pay a dividend of 6 per cent. per annum at the last meet ing, but they only divided 5 per cent. With re gard to the observations respecting the route from London or Edinburgh to Inverness there were some disputes pending between the Post-office authorities and the Edinburgh and other lines respecting the mails, and when that was settled it was probable the requisite facilities would be afforded for accom modating the through traffic. The directors did everything they could to facilitate the traffic, but the cause of the delay rested with other companies north of Aberdeen. The passenger traffic had been affected by the depression of trade at places on their line very considerably. They had endeavoured to afford facilities to every company sending traffic over their line, and would continue to cultivate friendly relations with all. A proprietor said it was the Great North of Scot land that stood in the way of improved facilities for the through traffic. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, de claring the dividends on the 6 per cent., 7 per cent., and 31 per cent. Aberdeen preference stocks ; and at the rate of 41oer per cent. annum on the Scottish Midland stock for the past half-year. The meeting was then made special, and the directors were authorised to create £2,152 of 31 per cent. stock in addition to the £71,000 of that stock already created in accordance with a former resolution of the company. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors concluded the proceedings. EAST SUFFOLK. A special meeting of this company was held on Tuesday at the offices, Parliament•street—the Earl of Stradbroke in the chair. The solicitor read the heads of the bill for a pro posed branch from the main line at Leiston to Ald borough. The length of the branch would be 41 miles, and the cost about £40,000. The main line fromWoodbridge toYarmouth would soon be ready for traffic. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, a formal reso lution approving the bill was carried unanimously. In reply to questions, it was stated that the traffic would be sufficiently remunerative to pay a fair return on the outlay. OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVER HAMPTON. The receipts of this company, including the Stourbridge Extension and Stratford-upon-Avon Canals, for the fortnight ending the 13th of March, have been £8,594, while those for the cor responding fortnight of 1858 amounted to £7,701, and the expenditure to £3,798, being at the rate of 44.19 per cent. ; while that for the corresponding fortnight of 1858 amounted to £3,839, or at the rate of 49.85 per cent. The aggregate receipts for the first five fortnights and two days of the half year amounted to £43,583 as against £40,043 for the corresponding five fortnights arid three days of the previous year; and the aggregate expenses for the first five fortnights and two days of the half year amounted to £19,283, being at the rate of 44.24 per cent, as against £19,710 for the corre sponding five fortnights and three days of the pre vious year, or at the rate of 49.22 per cent.
