By the same act, the Wor cester and Hereford Company have acquired power to re purhease from the Newport, Ahergavenny and Hereford Rail way Company. as soon as the Worcester and Hereford Railway is open for traffic, the portion of toad extending from the II ay turnpike road at Hereford, to a junction with the Shrews bury and Hereford line in the parish of Holiner ; and the Midland, the Oxfor.l, Werr!ester, and Wolverbouiptou, and, the Newport, Ahergavenny, and Hereford Companies, have severally acquired poWers to subscribe towards the Worces ter and Hereford Railway, to any extent net exceeding 5i37, 509 - The directors have the further satisfaction of stating that the traffic agreement which was reported at the last half-yearly meeting to have been entered into between this company and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton, and the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford Ceinpanies, has been modified and extended so as to admit the Midland Railway Company a party also to the said agreement. The construction of works has been steadily pursued under the contract with Messrs. Brassey an; Bal lard. The whole of the materials for a double line between Shrub's Hill station, at Worcester, and Malvern, have been iurchased." The accounts showed the receipts to have been £189,675 and the expenditure £171,141 17s. 2d., leaving a ialance of £18,533195. 10d. After a short conversation, in which the position of the tompany with the other companies was explained as at the ewport and Abergavenny, the report was adopted. • . railway cowpony, as the coal trade;on which theirtraffic •-• mainly depended, was, of all others, the one most depressed.' Nor had it as yet revived, although, as one of the trus tees of Loll] Bute's estates, he could -tell them there was every prospect of its doing so. The same state of thingS existed in the coal distiicts of Scotland. Colliers' wages were low, and there was no demand for the mineral itself. Since the report had been printed two of the collieries connected with the line had sent them down some coal, so that they were now in possession of a coal traffic. The coal traffic mentioned in the accounts was only the amount paid to them by the Toff Vale Company for taking their coals from the junction of the two lines to the tidal harbour at Cardiff. There were seven collieries in the neighbourhood of their line, four of which were already connected with it, but from all of thetu they might, when the trade improved, expect a considerable amount of traffic. The main cause of the depression of the trade had been the strike, which had told unfavourably in Glamorganshire; and it was not until a few weeks ago that the! got the better of it in the Rhymney valley. The Rhymney Iron Company had derived great advantages from the opening of the tine, as it conveyed their iron to Cardiff. direct. They would also avail themselves of it for sending the large steam coal to Cardiff, where, by reason of dock quarryage, where they bad four coal tips, the railway com pany had every facility of shipping. Measures of a legal character would test the right of the Taff Vale Company to charge ld. per ton for the siding' at the junction, a charge independent of the toll then paid for running over 5 miles of that company's line. Mr. PLEWS seconded the - motion, which was agreed to, Ind the proceedings terminated. PUBLICATIONS. MR. THORNBURY'S NEW NOVEL.

What is a man if he feels that be is owned by another? (Several voices—" He is a slave.") A. man by baptism is born Into the Church ; we by our birth are born to be patriots ; we inherit this as an inheritance of seven centuries from our plundered sires, and we never can consent to dwindle down into the type of a negro slave that feels not his degradation. We feel that, and while we do so no one can dispose of us, for— " If you do but watch the hour, There never yet was human power • —.That could defeat, if unforgiven, The patient watch and vigils long Of him who treasures up a wrong." (Loud cheers). Let us treasure up-our wrongs; let us keep them until God inspires us at some happy moment and opens a way for us. ('Cheees.) We have come here, then, to renew our duty to our country; we all pledge our selves that we shall unite to free our trampled country. They are not to delude us; we will understand our position in spite of all flunkydom. Well, men of Tipperary, are these our means? Am 1 going to tell you the means of perform ing this duty and crowning it ? Alas ! no. We are as sheep without a shepherd. The Moses that is to deliver us has not yet appeared. We cast straining eyes around, and we see him not. Rut during the last 15 years a voice has grown up among us—it is intolerance. Religious intole rance advanced from that time when it was O'Connell's boast that he wished to conciliate all sects. I ant not here to say how this happened or what was the cause of it, or who was to blame or blameless in the matter; all I can say is the truth, that the brand of religious discord has been flung amongst us, aod, unhappily, we have yielded to the temptation. Men of Tipperary, we are assembled here to state that we are not bigots, that we open our bands to all our countrymen of all denominations—we interfere not between any man and his God: If we have returned The O'Donoghoe as our member it was not because lie was a Catholic, but because he was The O'Donoghoe. (Cheers.) Let us go back to that time. Remember how we felt then, and put away from ourselves this great danger aid tempt:- don—waiting with patience, praying with fervour to arming. our own hearts with patience and fortit':a . te, and proclaiming to the world that we are prepari!'d - for it, and there will be a greater object gained than - e ver can b e ga i ne d by this petition. However, we will all condescend t o peti tion for this time, and God send it may be the last. ( Loud cheers.) The county Tipperary condescends once more to petition the British Parliament to take into consideration the case of those unfortunate brothers the Cormacks; but even if they grant us that, it is but an infinitesimally small_ instalment of justice. The speaker concluded a m id genera l applause by seconding the resolution, which was put and i carried. BOSTON, SLEAFORD, AND MIDLAND COUNTIES The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yester• day at the Easton Hotel, Euston-square ; Mr. Ingram, ALP., was in the chair. The advertisement by which the meeting had been convened having been read, the following report of the directors was submitted : " The directors have the satisfaction in again meeting the shareholders of informing then, that although railway earn ings during the first six months of the year are, as a rule, considerably less than those of the second (or December) half-year, yet that the earnings of this company's line between Barkstone Junction and Sleaford during the past six months will bear a satisfactory comparison with those of the preceding half-year, and this is the more encouraging as the general depression in trade, and the consequent large falling off in railway traffic during the last half-year, has affected the earnings of this line in common with all under takings of a like character. The gross earnings of the line for the past half-year have been £3,39:2 its. 4d., and the di rectors, after providing for the debenture interest, are enabled, in respect of the line between Barkstone Junction and Sleaford, to recomtnend a dividend of 2s. 6d. per share for the half-year ended the 30th of June last. The permanent way, stations, and other works, between Bark stone Junction and Sleaford are now completed, and are in excellent working order. Since the last half yearly meeting the directors, acting on the conviction they then expressed, that the further capital required to continue the line to Boston would be subscribed, have proceeded with the construction of this part of the under taking, and the line is completely formed, fenced, and ballasted, and the permanent way laid to within a mile and a quarter of Swineshead Bridge (six miles and a half from Boston). In submitting the accounts to the proprietors, the directors have to observe that, although no charge is at present made against revenue in respect of office expenses, yet that the entire interest on £25,000 raised by debentures prior to the opening of the line, is paid out of the company's net earnings, and that this sum included the whole of the original Parliamentary and legal expenses, the entire cost of the sidings at the junction with the Great Northern Rail way, and of the station and other accommodation works at Sleaford, a considerable portion of which charges are pro pellylapplicable to the line between Sleatiad and Boston not yet earning revenue. The directors, in conclusion, beg to state that their confidence in the success of the under taking is unabated, and they hope to be able at the half yearly meeting in February next to congratulate the share holders on the opening of the entire line." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the company had shared the fate of most of the railways of the country, in respect of traffic during the past half year. Certainly the receipts had not come up to their expectations ; but on the whole the directors thought, looking at the short time the line had been opened, that the returns must be considered very favourable. (Hear, hear.) During the next half year the whole line would be finished, and then the shareholders would he better able to appreciate the value of the undertaking. His opinion was, as it had always been, that the railway would he a good paying one. (Hear.) He was satisfied that as they would not be subject to competition, the traffic would increase half year after half year, and that ultimately the proprietors would secure a fair interest on the capital they had subscribed. He then moved the adoption of the report and accounts. Mr. TOOTAL seconded the motion. After a few observations from Mr. SIMPSON the motion was carried, and a dividend of 2 s. 6 d. per share declared in accordance with the statement in the directors' report. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro ceedings. CANNOCK MINERAL. The half-yearly meeting was held yesterday, at the Eus ion terminus of the London and North-Western Railway. Mr. Malins was in the chair. The following report of the directors was submitted : " The directors have to congratulate the proprietors on the very satisfactory report of the engineer, which is ap pended hereto, in reference to the progress of the works. With the view of saving the cost of a duplicate station at Cannock, arrangements are being made for the use, on fair terms, of the South Staffordshire Company's station at that place. The remaining portions of the works not included in the first contract having been let on satisfactory terms to Mr. Brassey, the directors feel justified in considering that their anticipations of a fair rate of dividend to the pro prietors will be fully realised. The line is expected to be opened throughout within a twelvemonth, when the London and North-Western guarantee will come into operation. The half-yearly statement of accounts shows that the receipts, up to the 30th June last, amounted to £20,500 ss. 7d., and the expenditure to £19,468 Os. 6d. ; leaving a balance in hand of £lO4 ss. ld. The directors regret that in consequence of the non-payment of the calls on '264 shares they have bee❑ compelled, in justice to the other shareholders, to declare them forfeited, and a reso lution will accordingly be submitted to this meeting for the confirmation of such forfeiture. Mr. Wagstaff having re signed his seat as a director, the board have supplied the vacancy by the election of Mr. 11. J. W. Hodgetts Foley, M.P. The offices of the company have been removed to Euston station, and Mr. Henchman having resigned the secrcaryship, Mr. Francis llarley has been appointed to the duty. By these arrangements a very considerable saving has been effected in the .expenses of management." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the line, being a short one, did not call for a long speech. The railway was let to good tenants, and it might be thought that the directors had not much interest in the works; but that was not exactly the case, as the line had to be made in a good, substantial manner ; otherwise, the London and North-Western Com pany might object to it. The expenditure shown in the accounts did not represent all that had been done, a very large amount of work having been executod since the end of the half-year by the contractor, Mr. Brassey. The estimate had been carefully revised, and con tracts entered into for the construction of the line ; and there was every probability that it would be completed for such a sum as would give the proprietors a perpetual 4 per cent. dividend out of the rent to be received from the London and North-Western Company. Resolutions for the adoption of the report and accounts, and for confirming the forfeiture of 214 shares, were carried unanimoutly ; and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the directors for their great attention to the affairs of the company. 50 LOADS OF BEECII TIMBER.

WARRINGTON AND STOCKPORT. The report of the direetors of this company states that the act for limiting, defining, and regulating the capital and debt of the company had received the royal assent. The rights of the company at the Chester station being still under litigation, the accounts for the traffic in connection with the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction line was still in suspense. A dividend of 31 per cent. on the paid-up capital for the half-year ended June 30 was recom mended._ The capital account showed an expenditure of P274,16'2. The loans and other engagements amounted in the whole to £51,727, to meet. which there was unissued stock of the value of £19,92.0, and borrowing powers for the remainder. The receipts from passengers, parcels, &e., amounted to £5,699, being the sum necessary to pay 31 per cent., as guaranteed by the leasing lines. £*2,7•23 was required for interest and chief rents, and the remainder the dividend.

LIFE DEPARTIIENT.—finder the provisions of an Act of Parliament, this Company now offers to future insurers four-fifths of the profits, with Quinquennial Division, or a low rate of premium without par ticipation of profits. The next division of profits will be declared in June, 1860, when all participating policies which shall have subsisted at least one year at Christmas, 1859, will be allowed to share in the profits. At the 5 divisions of profits made by this Company, the total re versionary bonuses added to the policies have exceeded £913,000. At the last valuation, at Christmas, 1851, the Assurances in force amounted to upwards of £1,210,000, the income from the Life Branch in 1854 was more than 2200,000, and the Life Assurance Fund (independent of the guaranteed capital) exceeded £1,700,000.

CATTLE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is worldwide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A. few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." lie tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. lle then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, wad in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agricultural show at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thorley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own in trinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, Loudon, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was Leld at the London DIN ern yesterday—the Hon. Capt. Fitzmaurice in the chair. The report said—" During the half-year ending the 30th of June, 1858, there was expended and added to capital £45,733 3s. 3..1. The ordinary sharescapitel amounted 10s. to i.:547,260 Si.; the preference share capita l to £2'.?2,835 6 per cent., and £102,494 5 per refit.; and the debenture debt was. £363,947. The gross earnings of the half-year end ing the 30th of June, 1858, over 50 miles, amounted to £31,676 18s. 2d., against £26,568 2s. 4d., earned over 43 miles, during the corresponding half-year of 1857. The working expenses of the last half - year are 115,888 13e. against £14,359 13s. Oth for the corresponding half-year of 1857. The net revenue of the half year amounts to £15,788 4s. Bd.; and this added to by the net balance of the last half year's account, viz., £BB6 10. 8)., gives an available ba lance of £16,675 ls. 4d. Interest on the debenture debt, amounting to £7,95015. 4d., to the 30th of June last ; of which £1,323, being the proportion due on capital expended during the half-year, has been charged to capital, and the balance is debited to revenue ; and after deducting interest e ; on 6 per cent. and 5 per cent. sha res, amounting to £9,186, a net balance remains of £862 to be carried over to the revenue account of next half-year. It was not till March of the past half-year that this company became eo run ower theired, under agreement with the Taff V ale Company, t increased elP me n t of f a s a s e n n e g w er t r a t fri t a c i s w o h r t k t n h g t e e x r t p h e y n r s . es we e r n e d u i then e g cessar i e y v without corresponding advantage to the revenue; but the directors are sanguine in their belief that a considerable traffic will shortly be exchanged between the two companies, to the benefit of bath. One of the results of a junction of e this company's line with the Taff Vale line has been the supply of Aberdare coal for the locomotive engines. The directors anticipate a considerable saving in locomotive expenses from the use of this coal ; and as other railway companies are adopting it, it is not too much,to expect that a very large traffic will ultimately arise for the general locomotive service of the country. It is much to be regretted that the prostration of trade, which was felt so severely in Montnouthshire, as in all other mining and manufacturing districts, at the time of the last half-yearly meeting, still continues • -but it is a source of satisfaction tha t, notwith standing the' low rate of freight by sea, the additional con nections established between the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford and other lines have enabled the company to maintain its grass receipts, and, as is now the case, its mileage earnings. It is also a matter of congratulation for the com pany that the Shrewsbury and Crewe line will be open for traffic on the Ist of September next, thus affording the long promised direct line into Manchester from the South Wales district. The bill which was before Parliament at the period of the last half-yearly meeting, for the deviation of the Aberdare Canal, has become an act, and the company is now empowered to make the desired deviation. By that act power has been also given to the company to convert their debenture debt into debenture stock; and a resolution will be submitted to this meeting, to enable the directors to effect such conversion, by creating a stock bearing a per petual and irredeemable , yearly dividend of 4 per cent. The substitution of a permanent investment at a fixed rate of interest for one of a temporary and uncertain character, will doubtless induce trustees and others to avail themselves of such security; and the operation will effect a saving to the company, not only in the amount of interest paid, but in the constantly recurring expenses of renewal. The Worcester and Hereford Bill, which was submitted to and approved by the shareholders of this com pany, on the 25th day of June, under the Wharucliffe order of the House of Lords, has now passed into an act ; and the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford, the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton and Midland Railway Companies, are severally empowered thereby to subscribe any sun] not exceeding £37,500 to the Worcester argil Hereford Railway. The Midland Railway Company has been admitted a party to the traffic agree merit between this company, the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, and the Worcester and He reford Com panies, with such t modifications as the reasonable require ments of the Midland Company suggested ; all which were approved and confirmed by the special general meeting of the shareholders of this company, assembled for that pur pose on the same day. The subscription promised by the Midland Company to the Worcester and Hereford secured a vigorous prosecution of the works of the latter company ; and the shareholders of all the companies, parties to the agreement, having unanimously confirmed the same, the lines of the four companies will, on completion of the Wor cester and Hereford, he worked as if each were au integral part of one whole and continuous system, and the traffic proper to the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford will thereby be fully developed. Though circumstances have conspired to retard the completion of the Worcester and Hereford Railway, the shareholders will not forget that the directors have always pointed to its accomplishment as the contingency on which the ultimate prosperity of the New port, Abergavenny, and Hereford would have to depend ; and it is to the want of this essential link in the chain of comtnuuication between South Wales and the Midland district of the kingdom, that the deficiency in the gross earnings of the line, and the consequent want of dividend on the original shares of the company, is to be attributed. The agreement between this company and the Monmouth, Coleford, and ITak Company for the working of the latter company's traffic, having been terminated by notice front the 11th day of October last, and this company's stock with drawn, the two companies have since continued to exchange traffic on friendly terms; but relations have been recently established under which this company is now supplying them with locomotive power. The expenditure of the com pany has been an object of constant anxiety. In concert with the stores committee the secretary has assumed the management of the company's stores, and is solely respon sible for that department. By this consolidation of offices a considerable saving in expenditure has been effected, and other savings in this and other departments of management are in course of being effected." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the shareholders on the earnings of the line already, and the prospect held out to them of much greater results. That they should have been able to meet all their engagements, and to lay by a small sum for the future, amidst such serious commercial embarrassments, could not be otherwise than gratifying. They had no enemies among other railway companies; on the contrary, they were all ready to assist them, and to afford facilities for the develop ment of their traffic, and he believed that ultimately the line would be an exceedingly prosperous one. He regretted that the cost per mile had exc3eded the estimates, but it was satisfactory to know that it was far below the average. The board looked to the Worcester and Hereford Company as their great ally, and he trusted that with its co-operation the local traffic, as well as that in the direction of London, would prove very remunerative. After a short conversation, in which it was explaine that it would require rather m ore than a traffic of L'2,000 a d -week to pay 3 per cent. to the original proprietors,whilst the pre sent traffic only produced about £1,300 a-week, the report was adopted. The preference dividends were declared, and a resolution moved for converting the debenture debt into a 4 per cent. debenture stock; upon which Mr. PRICE, M.P., said that though a little out of order, perhaps lie might be allowed to make a few observations. He was chairman of the Worcester and Hereford line, which was originally promoted as a continuation of their line, but .7eour circumstances it had not yet been made. Though their line was open from Ifereford to Quaker -yard, yet it could not be said to be fairly open to the public until it was connected with Worcester and the Midland districts; and when it was so opened, though he would not venture to predict what it would produce, he believed it would go a long way towards making up the £2,000 a-week they so earnestly desired. In the last session of Parliament power had been given to the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company, the Mid land Company, and this company, to subscribe towards the Worcester and Hereford, either in their corporate capacity or individually, and an agreement had been entered into between the companies which would secure certain advan tages to the Newport and Abergavenny Company on sub scribing £25,000. They could not do so in their corporate capacity, because they had no money—(laughter)—but he urged them to censider how it should be raised. A few shareholders in the Oxford and Wolverhampton Compel:l had taken up the £25,000 on behalf of that company; they Midland proprietors had authorised their directors to sub scribe £37,500, and he expected to have the money in a few days. The capital of this company was already about £1,300,000, and an additional £25,000 would be but little compared with the benefit it would confer on the line. The capital would he issued at a discount, it consisting of shares formerly taken up by the North-Western line, but which had been given up on Parliament refusing them power to lease the line. There was £2 4s. per share paid on those shares, of which those who now took them would have the benefit. A SHAREHOLDER said it was of no use to hdk them for more capital, as they were already cleaned out, and asked Mr. Brown, a director, how it was the traffic which lie had formerly predicted would come on the line when opened to Quaker-yard, lied not yet been realised ? Mr. BROWN explained that the Toff Vale Extension line had only recently been completed, and that the coal-fields in the Ebbw Vale and the other valleys of the district being connected by tramways with the sea, the proprietors of those trams would not at first extend them to the railway, as they would thereby give up a carriage over twenty miles of tram for one of seven or eight. The Ebbw Vale Company and others were, however, now making a eon nection with the railway, when lie believed that iron and coal owners would at once come on the line, His firm held from £45,000 to £50,000 capital in this company— ann,yetrisejeunps,attyahilbelogfurietlii g o g n ille e t r-tt,iyt)ryirwdi to littielso.dt3rdia.a.ffil peri e c n t o fo r: no int i t h ns t they t t ee yr g 1 twt would o 4s. 6d.

He still en tertained the fattest confidence in the line, Mr. RODINooN explained that the low rate of freight by sea could only be looked upon as temporary, it having ori ginated in the cheapness of grain, which had forced many of the Baltic grain vessels into the coal and iron trade. To show the development in traffic, he might state that iu the first instiinCe the Monlgorneorshire did not contemplate carrying passengers at ell, as there was not enough for a three-horse coach. This company, however ' offered them £B,OOO a-year for it ; and now, in less than 10 years, it was p r oducing £12,000. The resolation was carried, and a vote of thanits s i r en to the directors, WORCESTER AND HEREFORD. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held gt the London Tavern yesterday — Mr. W. P. Price, M.P., in the chair. - _ . . The repsrt said—" The directors have satisfaction in stat ing that the bill which was before Parliament at the period of the last half yearly ganeral meeting, for an extpnaion of tip. for completing the lino, has been Famed into an get; The following is an abstract of the report which was adopted :—" The depression of trade, especially in iron, consequent upon the stoppage of railway enterprises in America and India, seriously affected the commercial pros perity of the Furness district, so that the traffic returns (V 7,846 7s. ld.) of the last half-year are not so favourable as they have been during some previous half-years; but the revival of that particular trade may be anticipated before the lapse of any lengthened period, but still the directors are able to recommend a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum for the half-year ending 30th of June last. There has been a reduction in the work ing expenses, and the directors will continue to give their careful attention to the subject. The expendi ture on capital account for the half-year amounts to the sum of £19,492 18s. 10d., which includes the sum of £6,000 for calls on the shares in the Coniston Railway held by this company. A further sum of £4,000 remains to he paid on these shares. To meet the expenditure on capital account, £30,000, part of the capital authorised to be raised by the Furness Railway Act, 1855, was allotted to the shareholders,sthe whole of which has been accepted a The £lO,OOO authorised to be raised by the Coniston Railway Act has been allotted and accepted as 5 per cent. preferential shares. The works at the Millwood Junction, and at the jun c ti on w ith the Whitebaven and ordinary share s. nearly Furness Railway at Foxfield, have been lately completed. The curves have eff e ct e d a great convenience for the through traffic, and a saving in workin , it. A considerable portion of the proposed renewal of Barrow Piers is completed, and the sum of £1,487, being about half the amount of the work contracted fur, has bee n a pp ro p r i a t e d this half-year from the reserved fund of £6,000 towards the expenses of this renewal. The arrangement with the Ulverstone and Lancaster Com pany, under which that line is worked by the Furness Com pany, continues in force, and is satisfactory tohoth companies. The Ulverstone and Lancaster Company having had occa sion to apply to Parliament for power to raise additional capital, introduced clauses in their new act to enable them to sell or lease their line to the Furness Company, but the directors will take no measures tending to connect the com panies without the knowledge and sanction of the proprie tors. The permanent way, works, and rolling stock are in good order. An increase of £2OO in the expenditure on the carriage acenunt' is cau se d, p ar tly by the thor o u g h re p a i rs which some of the passenger carriages required,anti partly from duplicate wheels and axles having been provided for the new waggon stock, an expenditure which is not likely to occur again for a long time. The diversion of trall',a to the (Aver stone and Lancaster Railway has naturally diminished the receipts from the steamboat between Fleetwood and Piel. It has consequently been thought advisable to lay. up the off Helvellyntbis traffic duringn ex tthete yearwt l i l n ed r i . rect l o n continuing mwiutecside o fi r y leaving auided by the result of the exoorienue of this year. The improved depth of water in the approach to Barrow Piers has given great facility to trade. There has been no diminution of depth by deposit, nor is any likely to take Blare," The dividend, as recommended in i,hereport, was declared, and the proceedings terminated in the usual manner. RITYMNEY. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this com pany WB5 yesterday held at 28, Great George-street, West tninster—Mr. John Boyle in the chair. The following is an abridgement of the report for the half-year ending 30th June:— 'The line from Cardiff to Rhymney was opened for the carriage of minerals on the 25th February, and for passen gers on the 31st March last, but in consequence of the great depression of trade, and the circumstance that none of the coal proprietors have matured their arrangements for send ing their coal to the Port of Cardiff, the coal traffic on the line cannot at present be said to exist. The revenue has been derived almost exclusively from passengers, general goods, and iron, and indicates to a limited extent only the resources :of the undertaking. No final arrangement has been made with the Taff Vale Railway Company in regard to the tolls to be charged by them for the traffic passing over their line. The sum to be deducted on that account to the 30th June last may be estimated at £BOO. The board re commend that the balance on revenue account of £2,386 2s. 9d. shall be carried to the credit of the current half-year. No difficulty has been experienced in conducting the traffic with regularity and efficiency. The passenger and general goods traffic will prove a more important source of revenue and there is a steady Increase in the than was anticipate d, number of through passengers and in the amount of goods traffic with the Midland Counties and the north. The Rhymney Iron Compan y have to a great extent com pleted arrangements for forwarding nearly the whole of their traffic to Cardiff. When the trade improves and the s hippi n g arrangements at Cardiff are perfected, a large revenue from the traffic in iron and iron ore may be reason ably anticipated. From strikes among the colliers, and other causes, the coal trade has for a considerable time been in a state of great depression. This has been felt at all the coal ports, and particularly so at Newport and Cardiff. The prospects of the trade, however, are now somewhat im proving. There a re seve ral collieries already connected w i t h t h e line, and others in a forward state, from which, w i t h en improved trade, a good traffic may be expected. Additional siding accommodation is being provided at the Crockherbtown Junction. The charge of ld, per ton made by the Taff ValO Railway Co m p an y in res pect o f traffic d e li v ered by them at the Crockh er btown Junction, and which the directors have hitherto paid under protest, has materially impeded the development of the coal traffic over the dock branch. The directors have been aivised that the Taff Vale Company have no authority to make this . charge, and they are taking active steps for having the question d ec ided, An agreement on favourable terms has been en tered into with the trustees of the Marquis of Bute, by which very extended shipping accommodation on the west side of the east dock will be afforded to this compeny." The CHAIRMAI:q3 in Waving the adoption of the report, said it was so full and explanatory that very few words would be required from him. They could not fail to express their gladness at the completion of their line i belt that joy was somewhat diminished t,y the fact that the general de pression of trade which had interfered with railway re 'urns generally bad affected thew more than any other ULVERSTONE AND LANCASTER. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was held at Ulverstone on Saturday—Mr. Brogden in the chair. The report stated that £9,581 had been expended upon capital account during the past six months, making a total sum of £337,314 ; the revenue accounts for the half-year showed a receipt of £8,794, and an expenditure, including interest, of £7,793, leaving a balance which, together with that from last half-year, amounted to £2,113; the bill for authorising the creation of additional capital, and contain ing powers to arrange with the Furness Company, received the royal ascent on the 12th of July last, and at a special meeting of shareholders held on the 29th ult., the directors were authorised to raise the sum of £78,000 of ordinary share capital, and the proportion of debentures authorised by the act. The long-continued commercial depression, especially in the iron trade, had materially affected the re ceipts of the company during the last half-year; but the directors continued those facilities for travelling and com merce which they had found necessary at the opening of the railway, and they have not withdrawn the or dinary trains because of the temporary depression in trade. During the summer months more trains for passengers have I been running, and the receipts from this traffic promise to be very consHerable. With returning confidence and re vived trade, it is expected the receipts will be large, and yield a good dividend. On the Tit - lotion of the CHAIRMAN the report was adopted, and the meeting separated. OPENING OF TIIE CASTLE-CONNELL RAILWAY.— Auather line has been added to the chain of railway com munication spreading from Limerick. The Limerick and Castle-Connell Railway was opened on Saturday. The first trip was made on Saturday morning from Castle-Connell to Limerick, and was availed of by about 70 passengers. The train left Castle-Connell at half-past nine o'clock, and not withstanding three stoppages at Nenagh-road, Grange, and Killonan, arrived in Limerick at 10 o'clock sharp. The engine was called tho Lady De Burgho. The company's pecretary, Mr. Maunsell, Mr. Pratt, the engineer, and Mr. Payne, superintendent of traffic, were amongst the officers of the company who travelled by the train. Capt. Ross, Government inspector, who made a final inspection of the line on Thursday, expressed himself fully satisfied with it. The directors had a trip at one o'clock to-day to Castle- Connell. Large numbers will leave by the train tomor row for Castle-Connell.—Limerick Chronicle of Saturday. ABSENCE OF CRIME IN THE NORTH.—A correspon dent writes to: us ( Inverness A dye? tiser) from Dingwall, of the date of Monday last, that the prison of that place, a first-class one, was then without a prisoner, civil or criminal ; that the gates had bee❑ thrown open ; and that there was reason to believe that the prisons of 'rain, Stornoway, and Cromarty were also empty. Tuese facts are creditable to the counties of Ross and Cromarty, which contain a popu lation of about 83,000. TIIF. PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED ST AT ES.— Familiar as our people are generally with the unostentatious habits of the chief officers of our Government, one cannot witness them, with the knowledge of the pomp and show of royalty to invite the contrast, without involuntarily Indulg ing it. On Saturday last President Buchanan arrived at the Relay-house, or Washington Junction, as it is more properly called, en route for Washington city. There was a rumour abroad that he was to arrive, and the visitors had, consequently, grouped about the house when the train came along. We soon perceived the President coming from the cars to the platform, looking hearty, but thoroughly travel soiled, smiling, and cheerful. By his side, and evidently offering with gentlemanly deference the courtesy of atten tion, was a rather rough-looking individual, whom we took for a conductor or brenksman. The gentleman will excuse our blundering in such a matter; but, upon inquiry, we were informed he was Sir William Gore Onseley. On passing into the bar-room the President threw off his coat and his white neckcloth, caretess ly pitching them over a chair, opened his shirt collar, and tucked up his sleeves for a wash, cenvernen . ces for this purpose being in the apartment. At the time, however, both basins were occupied by two young men, neither of whom seemed to be aware that the President was about. He waited pa , iently some time when some one spoke and in_ vited him upstairs. Ile declined, however, qui e tl y re. marking that he would wait for his turn. And as soon as the basins were vacated he " took his turn" in a jolly good wash in the public bar-room. This done, he seemed rather perplexed about the arrangement of his neckcloth, and seemed likely to tie his nose and mouth up in it. Some body just then offered assistance, and t he pri.:3.ident was comebriefi invetqoh equipped. room sang out grotty edr.At abouttlis tithe a -per son w h o h a d near to him, " Look here, I thought the old Pres. was to be here to-day--" The speer.h War , cut short b y a nud ge , while a momentary passed across the f ace o f th at same (' o ld was handed to him b y a f r i en d A h e too k a comical pre sA expression clear good satisfying drink of—not "old rye, v. effect, when prime — but iPP , Nvotcr, had barely fired up his cigar, when the ',A and "all l rang, which he is said to aboard" summoned the chie f w „ ait isivate Wf the United States to his seat in the cars, I acid a way they went to Washington.

IRELAND. . - DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING. THE RECENT EXECUTION IN NENAGH—EXTRAORDI NARY MEETING. The agitation of the Roma CalholicprceSts . of Nei-Agin • with the object of proeing the two Cormacks intnienteof the murder of Mr. Ellis, for which they were executcle has: • at length come to a head. Soon atter these unfortunate men . were hanged, the priets publicly proclaimed them from tLe altar to be martyrs, and ever since systematic efforts have ' not been wanting to spread this opinion, and so sueces,fut was the effort, that the jurymen who convicted the weeks were on more than one occasion subjected to violence, and their property destroyed. The Romish preob - of - rary, too, took the same side as the clergy, and dent Mr. Whiteside in violent terms, accusing him being the legal murderer of the Cormacks, declared, were victimised to appease the lords. Not content with giving currency to these founded statements, the Romish clergy have resolved petition Parliament for an inquiry into the manner in the Cormacks were tried, the nature of the evidt which they were convicted, and the method of admit ing the criminal law generally. Accordingly an ope demonstration, got up by the Rev. John Kenyon, P.l " repeal" notoriety, was held in Nenagh yesterday, the re quisition on which it was convened running thus : " TRIAL OF THE CORMACES—COUNTI MEETING REQUISITION. • " We the undersigned inhabitants of the county of Tip perary, impressed with a deep sense of the responsibility in curred by those who wield the administration of criminal law in Ireland, to which the peace, the character, the in dustry, and the lives of the people are consigned, request a public meeting of this county at Nenagh, on Monday, 30th August, to pronounce its deliberate opinions on the facts connected with the sad fate of the Cormacks, and to embody those facts in a petition to Parliament, seeking a searching inquiry into the case, and also into the method of adminis tering the criminal law generally." There was an immense gathering of priests present. The site of the meeting, so far as the making of an impression on those assembled was concerned, was a striking one. A large platform was erected on a broad triangular space, opposite the court-house, and within sight of the "drop" from whence the Cormacks were ushered into eternity. The Nenagh temperance band played occasionally through the day, though not of course after the commencement of the proceedings ; but about 11 o'clock it preceded a consi derable crowd outside the town to meet The O'Donoghoe, M.P. The trades' banners of the town were also broug ht into requisition, and these, having been used in the O'Donoghoe escort, were fastened to the poles which supported the temporary platform. In Church-street a black flag was to be seen waving over the chimney of a ruined cabin, bearing in white letters the inscription, " Justice." From the tower of the old castle in the vicinity of the platform a large black flag was hoisted. bearing in large characters the inscription, " Retribution ;" but after a short time this was taken down, and another black flag run up in in its stead with the inscription, In gaol until you ret,' alleging to have been words used by Mr. Gore G. Jones, R.M., to the approver Burke whilst in pri son, if he did not tell what he knew of the murder of Mr. Ellis. Amongst the flags on the platform was a green one, bearing the words, " Welcome to Tipperary The O'Donoghoe, her chosen chief." On the motion of the Rev. Mr. Morris, the chair was taken by The O'Donoghoe, M.P. The Chairman said—People of Tipperary, it is with feel ings of great pride and satisfaction that I take the chair at so numerous and respectable a meeting as that which I eel around me representing the strength, the patriotism, the religion, and manhood of ancient Tipperary—(loud cheers) —coming forward in one great multitudinous mass to de mand even-handed justice for the rich and for the poor. Cheers.) lam sorry that the subject which has brought us together to-day should be one of so melancholy a nature • but it is one which has attracted the attention not merely Of the people of all parts of Ireland, but of the people of England and Scot land as we!l—(cheers)—aud I believe that the result of the determination which has been shown to sift and to in vestigate all the circumstances connected with the arrest, with the imprisonment, and with the execution of the un fortunate Cormacks—(loud cheers)—will be the means of bringing about a change in the criminal law which will prevent the poor man who stands in the dock—(hear, bear, and cheers)—from being made the victim of a judge who may be zealous, and very anxious to show what he can do, but forgets that evenhanded and impartial justice which should he the characteristic of every one sitting on the judical bench. (Cheers.) No matter who may be at the helm—no matter who may hold the helm of the State—whether they be Whigs, or whether they are like the present men—Tories—we will make them do justice to the people. (Loud cheering.) There are, I know well enough, in the present Government—l believe the Irish portion of the present Government—l believe that Mr. Attorney-General Whiteside, and Lord Nees, too— (eroans)-1 believe that they are Orangemen. (Groans.) 1 believe that if they could they would crush to the e the frieze-coated sons of Ireland. (A Voice : —"a for them)—(feud groans)—but, please Ge' ...ee groans do that. (Never, and loud cheer they never shall -of opinion—two newsee— They have two organs and say that they e-- ~.ers who advocate their cause; _ zealous patriots. I don't know where it, 1 ,, 05,e men ' ,min their opinions of Irish politics; I don't ...esv where they have formed their opinions of the Irish people ; I don't know where they have learned to judge of the feelings of the Irish people, but they have learned it, no doubt, within the precincts and under the shadow of the Castle of Dublin. But, as I have often said and thought, these who want really to know what are the feelings of the Irish people with regard to politics, with regard to religion, with regard to anything affecting the interests of Ireland, they must leave the shadow of the Castle of Dublin to come down into the country, and they could not come to a better place than into the middle, into the heart of Tipperary. (Loud cheers.) Though we have Orangemen at the helm of affairs we will demand justice for Ireland. Who are the Orangemen? Are they the Catholics of Ireland? No. Are they the Protest ants of Ireland? No. Who then and what are they ? They are a miserable set of isolated political fanatics, cut off from all sympathy with those in the midst of whom they dwell. I will tell you what they think themselves to be. They think themselves to be a garrison in the midst of this country, to change if they can the ancient religion of our forefathers —(cries of" Never !")—and to drive our poor people across the ocean to America or to Australia. If you were to bear what these Orangemen say of you—if you were to read their newspapers—you would suppose that they could govern Ire land, whereas the fact is that in the three great provinces of Munster, Connaught, and Leinster there is not one single place where Orangeism in the face of day dare to erect a platform and proclaim its opinions. (Cries of " No, nor never shall !") Even in the north of Ireland they cannot hold their meetings either, but are afraid to trust themselves beyond the narrow limits of a back parlour. I say, then, no matter whether they be Orangemen or not, they must do justice to Ireland, and they must allow us to investigate and sift this matter to the bottom—(hear, hear, and cheers) — and they shall not screen from just opprobrium and indig nation those officials who, in their zeal to earn the wages of the State, forget the justice that should be meted to the people. (Cheers.) It was with no small feeling of pride and gratification that in the House of Commons I found myself' standing up on this question and asking in the name of the people of Tipperary that justice should be done to the murdered Cormacks. (Loud cheering.) Over arid over again I brought it forward in the house, and I must say— for it is the truth, with some exceptions, with some honour able exceptions—that tale of horror, for it was nothing less, fell coldly on the ears of the English House of Commons. (Cheers.) Mr.Attorney-General Whiteside—(groans)—got up to answer what I bad stated, and the statements and insinuations which be made with regard to the state of Tipperary would have led any reasonable man who impli citly believed Mr. Whiteside, and who knew nothing of the state of Ireland, to conclude that it was a service of danger even to walk in the streets; he would have led them to believe that a man might as well have lived on the frontiers of Caffraria as in Tipperary. (Oh, and laughter.) But the only way to make the people feel a re- , spect for life is to make them see, and to impress upon them the fact that their lives are as; dear to the State as the lives of any others in Ireland—(cheers) —and that the poor frieze-coated man and the man who wears broadcloth ouelit to be treated in the same manner. I shall now let) ou hear the resolutions which have been drawn up, and which are to be presented to the House of Commons, and I think that they are such as every patriotic Irishman who wishes well to his country—they are such as every reasonable man must assent to. The chairman retired amidst loud and continued applause. Mr. Thomas L. Cambie briefly proposed the first reso lion, as follows ;—" That as the taking away of human life is the highest responsibility assutnedhy human law, the En g lish constitution in committing the power of life or death to the ' judgment of a few individuals, has jea lously provided_ precau ti o n, that, in the words of a recognised authority, when the subject shall happen t o h e summoned to the decision of his fate by time fallible conscience of a few of his fellow crea tures, he may always find in them advocates and never adversaries —that a partisan magistracy, witnesses of.doubt ful veracity, or proven sinister character, a grand jury of long-cheri shed prejudices, a petit jury of known h os tili ty, are each and all antagonistic to the spirit and letter of said constitution, and consequently must ever produce deep rooted discontent, making of the court and its different forms a tribunal inspiring public distrust instead of public confidence. That such have frequently been the characte ristic features which have marked the administration of justice in this country; aggravated lately by the still more unconstitutional anomaly of a judge acting adversely to the accused, thus teaching the people to regard the law as its enemy and not as its protector." The Rev. John Kenyon, of Templederry, on coming for ward to second the resolution was received with loud eheer ing. He said—Fellow-countrymen, the strongest feeling which I experience at finding myself among a meeting of Tipperary men assembled to petition the British Parliament for some fragment of justice is a feeling of shame. (Hear, hear.) lam indignant with myself, for I thought I could never descend so low. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Time was in Ireland when the priests in Ireland, aye, and the bishops of Ireland too, would scorn to petition the Saxon Parliament. (Loud cheers.) Men of Tipperary I am here to tell you not to put your faith in Parliament or in petitions. A fragment of justice we may endeavour to get ; they may condescend, in a mere matter between man and man ; that is just pos sible, that is all. More than that, if you expect—it you ex pect real justice, universal justice—you shall be surely dis appointed. The English Parliament and the English Government are not concerned for you. They may admi nister justice to their own people, but you are a foreign people. They have their heels up®n your necks and their hands in your pockets, but they have no no tion of dispensing justice to you. (Cheers.) Men of Tip perary, we arc met here for other purposes too. We will petition Parliament—even I will demean myself so far for that little fragment ofjustice, because I believe it to be pos sible; but I would not deceive you in the least by making you believe that any real justice can be hod by that means. (Hear, hear.) Yes, Mr. Chairman, justice is a thing for which the soul of man thirsts. We all love justice, and Irishmen pre-eminently love it. On the face of the broad earth stands or sits not a being more noble, approaching closer, soaring higher into an equality with the G reat Creator of tin world than ajustjudp Administering justice. (Cheere.) The Rev. Mr. Lanigan moved the hdoption of the follow ing resolution :—" That the . 3) 's we complain of have had their unhappy consummaii":, in the case of the late ill-fated brothers Cormaok ; th . - „it the jury in that case was not fairly chosen ; that :- witnesses a e veracity, the ow , , ~e were not of reli, bl ' • I ," • using an accomplice, the other an ackwavvledged ~... jurer asd an accomplice likewise, and the third a gaoler, whose more than doubtful testimony as to what he said he overheard in the prison was improperly and unconstitu tionally admitted in evidence ; that the acknowledgment made by the principal witness in this ease—namely, `that he had been threatened to be left to rot in gaol it he re fused to give evidence—and from his subsequent confession, attested by the affidavits of three respectable witnesses, are facts loudly calling for the strictest investigation, and that we cannot let this opportunity pass without recording thus publicly our utter disappointment at the miserable evasion whereby the Government have sought to justify their refusal of such investigation." Mr. George Burke, is seconding the resolution, entered into an analysis of the evidence of Burke, the approver. The following resolution was then passed, and the meet ing separated :—" That a petition be prepared and presented to the House of Commons, praying for an investigation hats all the circumstances connected with the trial and exe cution of the brothers Coruna." This agitation will do incalculable mischief in Tipperary. It will be observed that Priest Kenyon was not content with asserting the innocence of the Corinacks : he endeavoured to revive the seditionary feelings of '4B in the breasts of his hearers. TRANSATLANTIC COMMUNICATION. The Dublin Evening Mail of last night says :—" We are able to announce that authority has been given by Mr. Hamilton, the Secretary of the Treasury, to the Board of Works, to remit all port charges on the steam-vessels em ployed by Mr. Lever to ply between New York and Galway. This is a satisfactory proof that the Government will do all in their power to advance Irish and, we will add, imperial interests in connection with Mr. Lever's enterprise ; and we are glad to lear❑ that the passage made by the Prince Albert has never been surpassed by any steamer running on the ocean. Her passage from Halifax to New York was the fastest on record.'" THE NEW COMMISSIONER OF POLICE. Yesterday Col. Lake (of Kars) was present at the Board of Commissioners of Police during the transaction of busi- HESS. Col. Brown presided. Whether Col. Lake was pre sent officially, or was only acquiring a knowledge of the routine duties of the office, is not known. RETURN OF THE EARL OF EGLINTON TO DUBLIN. His Excellency returned to the Viceregal Lodge, from the north, yesterday evening. Mr. James Cooper and Col. Moody had interviews with Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, yesterday, at the Colonial- office. GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.—The 67th half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this c°m pany was held yesterday at their offices, 71, Lombard -street, Mr. John Wilkin in the chair. The report of the directors and a statement of the accounts for the half-year ending the 30th June last were read to the meeting, and gave much satisfaction to the proprietors, who unanimously adopted the same. The usual dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum was declared, and the cordial thanks of the proprie tors voted to the chairman and directors for their continued zealous services in the management of the company's affairs, after which the meeting separated. SALE OF ESTATES.—The estates belonging to the late Miss Lambert, Over-sands, were offered for sale at Newby Bridge, by Mr. It. Crewdson, a few days ago, and were sold in lots at very high prices, realising upwards of £30,000, the Duke of Devonshire (since the sale) being the largest purchaser. Important lots were sold to capitalists at Manchester, Bury, and Whitehaven. Mr. Crewdson also offered for sale on Thursday, at Ulverston, the Head Style estate and other detached properties, under a decree of the Court of Chancery. Nearly the whole of the pro perty was disposed of at high prices. Mr. Ainslie was the purchaser of a large portion of the Hoad Style estate at up wards of £ 4 ,ooo.—Westmoreland Gazette. MARVELLOUS ESCAPE.—On the 19th ult., as the up express train was descending the incline towards Beat tuck, the engine driver to his horror observed a little child about four years of age sitting in the middle of the rails, along which he had to pass, picking up stones into a small pitcher. Unable in time to arrest the progress of the train, be pushed on in intense agony till he reached the station, full of fear of the consequences. O❑ inquiry, however, the infant bad been found, neither harmed nor afraid, pursuing her work, by the mother, whose attention and fears the passage of the train excited.—Dumfries Herald. • THE HARVEST IN SCOTLAND.—We have zig-zagged over the southern half of Scotland during the last few day, and in all directions the crop is being secured under most auspicious conditions. In the eastern end of Strathmore a number of reaping machines are at work, and though occa sionally going wrong from want of skill in management, they have done valuable service, and fairly satisfied the farmer how valuable an ally inventive science can now bring into the harvest field. Experienced parties say the farmers are deficient in sharp, vigorous working of the machines, and recommend a change of horses every two hours, and to keep the work in a brisk state all through. In the later parts of Forfarshire the crops arc all ready, and cutting goes on uninterruptedly. If there is a fault in the case, we think the farmers are taking matters too easily, forgetful of the dreadful backsets and perils of the harvests of 1850 and 1857. Up through the Perth shire straths all are busy at work, the blue bonneted, wrinkled Celts toiling away in small bands —the fewness of the reapers suggesting ideas of impossibi l ity as to the ingathering of the spreading fields of grain. Around Perth the bulk of the wheat crop bar been stacked. There several farmers have been doubly diligent, labouring late and early. The heavy rains of the evening of Thursday the 19th cooled the air, and, since then, the weather has been crisp, and singularly adapted for the securing of the crop. Everywhere the reports are good, and corn was never carried to the stackvard in better condition. In the Lothians the l ea di n g is - far advanced. In Berwickshire the shearers some instances, been getting 255. a week, with rations—spirited in some farmers seeming determined that they should not stick at trifles in getting their harvest work: accomplished. We have passed and examined numbers of potato fields. They may be described as still keeping abead, in condition, of Previous years. Occasional fields do emit smell, but the crop is much less faulty this year. There may be failure to some extent, but appearances justify the belief that each will only be in a mitigated forn3.--tijorth .13ritiali Mt il, be for Ist be L 4.
