HORLETS FOOD FOR CATTLE.- , it is only a short time since thls singularly efficacious article is animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity b l V erld.wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzz led w ant a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet %, en we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our ender willttease. A. few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating nat he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." Ile tried kinds of things to get tbe animal into condition, but in vain. •:!e then bought some of Thorley's food ; and ho says the effect was ec,-lerul. The horse rapidly grew fat, sad in the course of a f ew . lhpi gained no less than I:1 stones. Amin we find at the late a gricultural show at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the anima's which Prried off the highest prizes bad been partly fed with Thorley's tofor cattle. S uc h f ac ts s pe a k for themselves, and we are forced o the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own in tittsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All tarties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, 2iwgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. TO THE NERVOUS AND DEBILITATED.

The e: sent ial object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their ph sical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. • .. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there arc principles of personal management which cannot be violated witheut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret sneeixd the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those pe nalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infir mity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

Second Class. Third Class. Total. 1858 1857 Increase REcEtrrs. First Class. BccondClass. Third Class. P Total. s. d. - s. d. s. d. £ s. d. 1858 1857 Increase Decrease 3,2q9 6 5 6,813 1 5,148 0 2 It will be observed from this summary that there has been a decrease in the total receipts, notwithstanding the in creased au naleaagsfoaasseugere-of enette class oceeeve,yeel e eepon the railway during the half-year. Thitedecretree is accounted for by the falling off in continental passengers, the receipts for London, Dover, and Folkestone traffic being less by £9,367 than in the corresponding period of last half-year; and the receipts by the company's steamers between Dover and Calais and Folkestone and Boulogne being less by £5,769 Bs. 6d. during the same period. This falling off in the continental traffic is attributable partly to the com mercial depression of the past season, and partly to the increased stringency with which the French passport regu lations were enforced about the beginning of the present year. Measures have, towever, been recently adopted, both by the English and French Governments, calculated greatly to facilitate the intercourse between the two countries. By an act of the British Legislature recently passed, the pri of the I Foreign-office passport has been reduced from 65 . to with increased facilities to obtain them. The French Goverment have also sanctioned excursionist passengers landin t the French ports on certificates issued by the South-Eastern Company, without occasioning any inconvenience or ex pense to the public. Notwithstanding this decrease in the receipts the directors are gratified to find that the elasticity of the local traffic has been such as on the whole to maintain satisfactorily the aggregate of the revenue derivable from passengers. A decided tendency to a general revival in the traffic of the railway has been manifested diming the last few weeks, which may inspire the shareholders with confi dence as to future prospects. The expenditure incurred in working and maintaining the railway during the half year exhibits a decrease of £6,389 4s. 11d. as compared with the corresponding period of last year. In the locomo tive department the expenditure has been less by £2,155 6s. 10d., notwithstanding that a larger amount has been expended on renewals of engines and tenders; this reduc tion being attributable to the saving in the cost of coal and cake, which has averaged 18s. nd. per ton, as against El ls. 741. last year. The maintenance and renewal of carriages and waggons has been £19,840 Os. 11d. ' against £18,725 lOs. Bd. in the corresponding period of 1857, ex hibiting an increase . of £1,114 lOs 3d. This additional expenditure has been incurred in the renewal of worn-out carriages, which have been replaced by vehicles of a much more commodious and serviceable description. The superintendents report that the rolling stock, gene rally, has been efficiently maintained. The reduc tion in the cost of maintenance and renewals of way and works has been £3,505 ls. lid., arising partly from the reduced cost of materials. The total expenditure during the half-year under this head has been £48,533, the whole of which is directly charged to revenue, less the amottut realised by the sale of old materials. The engineer's report, which is appended, will be found satisfactory as to the pre sent state of the way and works. The reduction of £3,078 Bs. ld. in the expenses of steamboats arises from the less mileage run by them in consequence of the decrease in that class of traffic. In the meantime, the efficiency of the company's ships has been fully maintained; and they have made the voyages from port to port with their accustomed regularity. A saving of £2,915 18e. 2d. has been effected in the general working expense , : of the pas sengers and goods traffic. Close attention has been given to the mileage run by the trains, and a reduction of above 27,000 miles has been effected in the goods d.e partment, concurrent with an increase in the receipts from that source. The total outlay on capital account has been during the half-year £24,627 Bs. 3d., iess £8,325 7d. re ceived from ths sate of surplus lands. The principal itetns of expenditure nave been incurred in enlarging and rebuild ing the stations so much required at Redhill Junction and at Margate ' and in completing those on the Strood and Maidstone branch. The outlay on these works has already received the sanction of the proprietors. In consequence of the short supply of carrying stock, re ported by the general manager as inadequate for the proper conduct of the merchandise traffic, it has been found neces sary to enter into a contract for 250 goods waggons at a total cost of £19,500, or £10,112 4s. Bd. in excess of the sum authorised by the proprietors to be expended for such purpose at their meeting of the 7th September, 1854; and the sanction of the proprietors is accordingly required fur this further expenditure. The directors are in course of realising the available assets derivable from the sale of sur plus lands. A considerable portion of the company's estate at Ashford has recently been sold on favourable terms; and the remaining surplus property, not re quired for the purposes of the railway, will be dis posed of from time to time, as opportunities occur. The loans of the company which have fallen in during the half-year have been provided for on favourable terms. An additional amount of the £4 per cent. debenture stock has been issued; and the directors beg to draw the attention of proprietors to this stock as a permanent and desirage investment. The stock was created under special Parliamentary powers which secure to it the same place amongst the . liabilities of the company as the loans in sub stitution for which it is issued; aid thus the interest upon it becomes a first charge upoa the revenue of the compenv. The attention of the directors h as bee., touch occupied der.ng the past session el Parliamerit by the proceedings involved in their application for c powers ros s a n dto Dartford, c withct bllitatencleibetween a nd also Newin opposing the line tirejected by the East Kent Company be tween Strobd and St. Maly' s Cray. It nil' be in tile recollec ft o railwayCh iselb urst ; tion of the proprietors that the bill prom tied by this company received the sanction of the committee of the House of Commons in 1857, and that the bill cf the ,East Bent Com pany was rejected on the ground that, if conceded, it would introduce an unneceseary and injurilus railway competition in districts already efficiently served by the Sonth-Eastern Company. The South-Eastern bill wa', howev.r, rejected by the committee of the House of Lords on tl e ground, as was believed, that the line promoted by this company did not provide an access to the West end of London. The bill introduced in the past session accordingly included a branch to Chiselhurst for the pur pose of supplying such defect, and placing the North Kent line in communication with the West-end of London and Crystal Palace Railway, through the medium of the Mid Kent (Bromley to St. Mary's Cray) Railway, which was leased by this company. The East Kent scheme was the same as last year, being a line from Strocd to St. Mary's Cray, projected fur the purpose of est ablkhing a competing line of railway between London and several towns in East Kent alrear'y supplied with railway accommodation by this cotnpany.After a protracted investigation the bill ofthis com pany gas rejected by the committee of the House of Com farms, and that of the East Kent Company was passed. The directors telt it to be their duty to continue their opposition to the East Kent Bill its the LorAs ; and also to endeavour to enter into an arrangement with the East Kent Company ill order to avert future competition if possible, but without effect ; and the East Kent Bill eventually passed the com mittee of the Lords and received the sanction of Parliament. In consequence of this slecWon the directors have since bad under their consideration the adoption of measures calcu !teed to protect the South-Eastern Company against the railway competition thus authorised by the Legisla ture ; but they will not proceed with any plan involv ing the further expenditure of capital with this object, without first bringing the subject fully before the proprietors. The directors are gratified in stating that the competition between this company and the Great Western and South- Western Companies for the London and Reading traffic has been brought to a close, and that an agreement has been entered into on the basis of equal rates being charged by the three companies, and the total recciptsbeing divided amongst thee] in proportions °creed upon, rfter the most careful es timate that could be formed of their respective rights and interests in the Reading and London traffic. The agreement came into epsration on the 14th of June last, and will con tinue for the term of three years. It is expected that consi derable advantages will be derived from the completion of the narrow gauge junction at Reading, now nearly finished, by which the South-Eastern system will fur the first time be placed in continuous railway communication with impor tant districts in the north-west of England. The junction will also be available fir the conveyance of troops to and from the Aldershot and Shorncliffe camps, as well as the important military arsenals on the South-Eastern Railway. The directors have also concluded an amicable agreement with the South-Western Company for the avoidance of all competition with them at stations on the line of the Reading and Reigate Railway, from which it is anticipated that mutual advantages will be derived by bath companies." WEST END OF LONDON AND CRYSTAL PALACE. The repo; t of the directors, to be presented to the share holders to-day, states that " the opening of the line to the Pimlico terminus took place on the 29th of March. The number of passengers conveyed on the line during the half year ending 30th June, has been as follows, viz. :—From the Ist of January to 29th of March (up to which time the line was only open to WandAwortit), 105,766; from 20 h March to 30th June, 354,310; total, 460,076. The gross receipts from the traffic for the half-year have amounted to £10,103 ss. 10d. The advance of the traffic is steady, and the directors have every confidence of its realis ing their full expectations. On the 3d of May the portion of the Farnborough extension from the Norwood junction to Bromley was opened as a double line from the junction to Beckenham, and as a single line from Beckenham to Bromley. In consequence of agreements between the Brighton and South-Eastern Companies, it became necessary for the company to undertake the indepen dent working of this portion of line, and to purchase an engine and rolling stock for this purpose. The trains are worked in connection with the West End and Londc,n.- bridge trine at the Crystsl react. A connection is FR- dually teing established by means of these trains and the Mid-Kent trains, between the North Kent line and the Castel Palace, so that residents at Lewisham, Blackheath, Woolwich, Gravesend, and other places on that line, will be able to visit the palace without g dog to London. A very large population, who have much felt the want tf proper •actiities in this respect, will thus be accimmociated, and a considerable traffic may be expected from this source. Since the close of the last half-year it became necessary, in order to meet several pressing claims, for the directors to dispose of the remainder of the forfeited shares. They re gret to say that a loss was unavoidably incurred in the transaction, but the company's credit was at stake, and it was, thought oe-t to adopt this mode cf meeting the ha t ilities. The registers are now practically clear, and the directors will take au early opportunity of requesting the sanction of the proprie ors to the conversion of the shares into stock. The arrangement with the Brighton Company for the commutation of one half of the £B,OOO a-year pay able by them for the use of the line for their long traffic, for a capital sum of £BO,OOO has been carried into effect since the close of the hatt-year—for which reason it does not ap pear In the accounts. By the completion of this arrange ment the six per cent. stock, which was issued to the con tractors from time to time, has been released, and will be offered to the proprietors as soon as the directors see a favourable opportunity. The directors have to congratu late the proprietors on the results of the past session. The East Kent Company have obtained the act for their Western extension from Strood to St. Mary Cray, and the directors understand that the works are already under contract, and that it is the intention of the East Kent Company to complete their undertaking as rapidly as possible. The di rectors have before pointed out the importance of this line —securing, as it will, to this company the West End con'i nental traffic of Dover, and that of the principal watering places on the Kentish coast; and they are happy to state that an agreement has been entered into between the com panies for the passage of the traffic over this line, on terms that will practically secure to this company an annual revenue at least equal to the Brighton toll. The Act for the Victoria Station and Pimlico Railway was also carried successfully through both Houses of Par liament, and the works will, the directors believe, be commenced immediately. The company's bill for the extension of time for the completion of the Farnborough extension was also passed. The negotiations with the South-Eastern Company have been continued, and the directors hope that arrangements which are now pending . will shortly result in the use of the line by that company fir their long traffic. at conclusion, the director.: trust that they may ennerat< —• . oprie4ors on the prospects of the company. It has, during the five years of its existence, passed through a period of great commercial pressure, and has had to contend with difficulties of no ordinary nature. Now, however, with the line at length open throughout, a largo and gradually increasing traffic, fixed working ex penses, and important traffic agreements, the directors see every reason for the fullest confidence in the future, and in the remunerative value of the undertaking." The capital account shows the receipts to have been £677,239, and the expenditure (including a loss of £7,200 on the sale of shares)£673,3Bo 17s. 11d. ' leaving a balance of £3,858 2s. ld. On revenue account the total receipts for the half-year have been £10,301 13s. ld., and the expendi ture £8,670 2s.—showing a balance in favour of the com pany of £1,631 lls. ld. EASTERN UNION. The half-yearly report to be submitted to the share holders at Ipswich this day says : " The proprietors will observe from the joint revenue account that the traffic receipts of the associated companies for the past half-year are stated to be £640,504 7s. sd. rs compared with £648,316 145., the receipts for the corres ponding half-year of 1857, and the half-yearly proportions of traffic which have been apportioned by the Eastern Coun ties authorities CT belonging to ibis company since Deem btsr, 1853, have been as fllow , .

Your propor tion of the joint traffic is for the second time less than far the corresponding period of the preceding year; the course pursued by the Eastern Counties Railway Company accounts for this decrease. That company availing themselves of their posi tion under the agreement as receivers of the associated lines, have deducted es interest on the cost of new works— For the year ended 30th June, 1855 .. £4,500 0 0 For the year ended 80th June, 1856 .... 7,250 0 0 For the year ended 30:h June, 1857 .... 11,000 0 0 For the year ended 29th June, 1858 ....E16,000 0 0 And although under the agreement they are not entitled to make any such deduction until three months after the deli very of an account, no accounts have been rendered either to your board or to that of the Noirolk Railway Company ; in like manner they have deducted from the joint traffic large sums of money which they are, by the agreement, bound to pay out of their own funds; and they have put to their own funds solely large traffic receipt=, of which you are entitled to a proportion. Your directors have the satisfaction of informing you that the directors of the Norfolk Railway Company are cordially co , operating with them on these sub jects, and that the solicitorsof the twocompanies, acting under the advice of the Attorney-General, Mr. Roundel' Palmer, and other eminent counsel, have jointly given formal notice to the Eastern Counties Railway Company requiring them to render accounts. and to cease making their unauthorised deductions, and also requiring' them to account for toe traffic receipts unduly withheld. in Euch notice tile Eastern Coontleg Railway Company were informed that in case they disputed the legal principles involved, then that the two companies were ready to concur with them in obtaining from the court in the cheapest and most expedi tious manner a decision thereon; but that if, on the other heetd, they admitted such principles and only contested the amounts, then that the two companies were willing to leave the question of amounts to the decision of qualified arbi trators. To this notice neither of tie solicitors have re ceived any reply, although they have a second time applied for one, and, in consequence, the two companies have jointly commenced the necessary legal proceedings for enforcing their lights, and by the same proceedings the functions of the joint committee will be ascertained. Independent of these matters, there was, at the conclusion el the last half-year, a considerable balance due to you from the Eastern Counties Company in respect of your admittee: proportion of the traffic; instead of paying over this balance that company, without any notice to your board, deducted from it a large amount fur old eleiing to which you were not liable. Your chairman and secretary remonstrated against this most earnestly, but f r uitl ess ly. An action was there fore brought to e.n:orce payment of the amounts so impro perly deducted, and before any heavy legal expenses were incurred, a proposition was made for a settlement of all questions of account, leaving only the principles of law to be decided by the court ; t o thi s p ro position the Eastern Counties CMi l" . "2 7 d!IY•f(l to aPreql , .. Sobsegnentiy, after ' the t xvelises of proparirg fur trial tat been incurred, they proposed that the action should be allowed to stand over till next term. This was rejected ; the action came on; and then ney consented to a verdict I*(r your compa:,y, subject to a reference of the accounts to an arbitrator, will power to raise the local points for the decision of the court. There can be no doubt but that a la-ge amount will he awarded to vette company. During the last session of Parliament the Eest Suiftlk Com pany sought to obtain power to enter into separate agree ments with the Eastern Counties Company as regards the jeiee traffic. Your company, together with the Norfo , k Company, opposed the atecropt, and succeed - d in ale- Prising' it in the !loose of Commons ; a subsequent ntterept of the Eastern Counties Company in the House of Lords, to undo what had been done in the Houselof Commons, was defeated by the Norfelk Company. The sum alloted by the Eastern Counties directors a- this company's proportion of the joint traffic for the last half year is £42,743 13 2 Add to which sundry receipts, amounting to..

Your directors arc able to report that, in the past half-year, considerable pro gress kas been made towards the adjustment of the com pany's financial affairs, and they have no doubt that, with the co-operation of the shareholders, the capital delvs of the period, be entirely discharged by the issue of securities in the p ossess ion of the company at mo d era te rates of interest. It is the intention of your companydirectors may, at an early at the approaching meeting to submit a resolution for the conversion of the company's guaranteed shares t h e improvement which h as t a k e n pl a ce in into guaranteed stocks.

The works upon the Woodbridge line are not quite complete, but although a scarcity of workmen, and engineering difficulties in the parishes of Rushmore and Playford, have delayed the opera tions of the contractor, your directors do not apprehend that the period, at which they indicated in their last report to you that they expected it would be opened, will be much exceeded." LEEDS, BRADFORD, AND HALIFAX JUNCTION. The report of the directors of this company states that, notwithstanding the extreme depression o f tra d e &minx the earlier months of the year, and the lon g an d p ro t rac t e d cent • petition between the Great Northern and the London and North-Western Companies, the directors are enabled to pay a dividend of 41 per cent., and to carry £266 to the reserve fund. With the revival of trade, the traffic over the railway is now assuming a more favourable asp e ct, and the direc tors have every confidence that it wilt equal the reason able expectations of the shareholders. A marked improve ment in the local traffic has already been evinced. The attention of the directors is now being given to the im provement of the traffic of the Gildersome and Ardsley branches, and the mineral traffie is being successfully developed. The report of Mr. Fra•er, the engineer, states that the main line has been recently ballasted throughout, and is now in a very improved state of repair. The main tenance of the Ardsley branch was given up to the diree tlrs by the contractors in, April last; they 1i ft it in good repair. The station-houses, warehouses, coal-drops, and other works, are all in good order. The finan cial statement shows the total receipts on capital account to 30th of June last to have been £563,237, of which £41,081 was received in the half-c ear. The expen diture for the half-year amounted to £24,147, making the total expenditure on capital eccount £.561,685, and l=aving a balance of £1,552. The revenue account for the ball-year shows that £15,087, had been received, and, after deducting , the expenses, there remained a balance of E 13,120. To this was added £1,856, reeking the total £14,977. Of this the interest would absorb £4,433, and the proposed dividend on 118,000 original slam at £l9 pa share, and on 2,000 Ard- The report of the directors of this company states that the expenditure on capital account during the past six months was £12,390, of which £12,116 Will for the purchase of the Leominster Canal, and £273 for sidings and other works. The gross receipts of the company for the half-year ending June last show an increase of £4l2s. per cent. over the cor responding half of 1857. The receipts for passengers, parcels, and mails amounted to £35,950, and for merchandise, &c., to £42,750, total £78,700, against £74,316 at the corre sponding half of 1857, showing an increase of £4,384. The rent receivable from the lessee for the half-year amounted to £12,395, viz.: --.E 7,434 at 4 per cent. on the ordinary stock, £1,091 interest on 41 per cent. preference shares, and £3,870 interest on loans. It is proposed that during the remaining four years of the lease Mr. Brassey shall pay to the holders of the ordinary stock of the company 41 per cent. until the gross annual receipts of the line shall exceed £85,000, and when the gross annual receipts exceed that amount then 41 per cent. and also one-fourth of any sur plus; and, further, that the amount of plant and rolling stock to be taken at a valuation at the expiration of the lease shall be extended from an amount not exceeding £50,000 (as mentioned in tlae lease) to a sum not exceeding £95,000, the former amount being insufficient for the proper working of the railway. The Crewe Railway is expected to be opened for traffic on the Ist of September next. The Knighton Railway Company, has already commenced its works; it will connect itself with the company's line at the Craven Arms station, where facilities will be afforded for the accommodation of its traffic on terms of mutual advan tage. This line has been undertaken by Messrs. Brassey and Field, and will, it is understood, be completed in about 18 months from this time. T to capital account showed that £598,881 had been re ceived, and £593,941 expended, leaving a balance of £4,940. STOKES BAY AND ISLE OF WIGHT. The half-yearly meetings Of these companies were adver tised for yesterday, but no business was transacted beyond adjourning for three months' to complete the negotiations which are pending with the South-Western Company. BLYTII AND TYNE. The half-yearly meeti4of this company was held at New castle on Monday—Mr. J. •Layceek in the chair. Mr. ARMSTRONG, the secretary, read the report; an ab stract of which has appeared already. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said they felt gratified to be enabled to inform the share holders that while other lines were suffering from reduced trade their trade was increasing; and it was a further source of gratification that this improvement in their revenue arose from the healthy progress of the coal trade of the dis trict. Since the last meeting of the shareholders there had been important changes in the ownership of collieries, the produce of which came on to their line. Arrangements had been successfully entered into to send the coals down the line; and not only had they secured this traffic, but the North Seaton Railway, formerly held by the Messrs. Carrs, having come into the bands of influential parties, the rail way had entered into an agreement with that company to convey the coali from their collh.:es. The latter arrange ment would cause an extension of the line. But their ex tensions, unlike those of other companies, would bring them a large increase of traffic. Mr. F. LAMBERT seconded the adoption of the report. Some conversation took place with regard to setting apart so large a sum for the reserve fund, Mr. Alderman HODG SON, Mr. JOBBLING, and others urging that the necessity for it was not apparent, and suggesting that they should add 2 per cent. more to the dividend. The CHAIRMAN replied that their railway, depending so largely upon the ceal trade for its revenue, it was essential to have a considerable reserve to meet such a contingency as a pitmen's strike, when they might be deprived of nearly all their trade for a considerable period of time, The rep,rt was adopted. The CHAIRMAN then moved a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. on the preference shares, and 8 per cent. OR the ordinary and extension shares, which, after a short discus sion, was agreed to. A special meeting was then held, when the CHAIRMAN moved a resolution empowering the directors to issue 12,000 preference shares, bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, with a view to raise £lOB,OOO for the extension to North Seaton and to complete other works in band. The resolution was agreed to, and, after a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting separated. LEWES AND UCKFIELD. The half-yearly. meeting of this company was held on Monday at Lewes—Mr. R. W. Blencowe in the chair. The Secretary read the report, which stated that the works had been carried on with the utmost vigour, and the line was almost completed and ready for traffic. The sta tions, which were being constructed by the London, Brighton, and South Coast Company, were progressing rapidly, and it was hoped that they would be sufficiently advanced to permit of the opening of the line for traffic before the close of the month of September. The directors having called up £3() per share, availed themselves of the borrowing powers of the company, as directed by the pro prietors, and had succeeded in obtaining upon loan a clnsi derable portion of the sum reerired, at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum, and had made arrangements for other sums at the same rate. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that the progress which they had expected in the erec tion of the stations had not been made, otherwise the line would now have been opened; but he was informed that it would certainly be ready for traffic by the 15 . h of next month, which was within the time originally proposed, and 1 for the sum originally estimated. Moreover, be believed, that no complaint hod been madf by either landowner or cxopier of land at the way in which the directors bad t-ea'ed him ; and it was very gralfying to be able to add that the men employed in toe construction of the railway bat acted in n very creditable manner. Capt. DALSIAC seconded the motion. The Hon. H. BRAND, M.P. said that it was a very im portant undertaking for the district, and the business had been conducted with great ability. The report was unanimously adopted. Votes of thanks to the chairman and directors for their services were carried unanimously, and the proceedings then terminated. NEWRY AND ARMAGII. The following is an extrret from the report of the direc tors to be submitted to the third ordinary general meeting of shareholders, to be held in the Market-hauee, Armagh, on Monday next : "The half-yearly accounts to 30th June, 1858, showing the receipts and payments 03 old capital, traffic, and exten sion accounts during that period are herewith submitted to the proprietors. Oa old capital account it will be seen that the only receipt has been one on account of the seventh call on old stare , , and the payments cern pilse the sum of £4,177 24. sd. drawn out of the hands of the Accountant-General in England by the Ulster Railway Company, on settlement of the long-prottaetcd suit, Newry v. Ulster, and which has, from time to time, been brought forward in successive half-yearly balance accounts; the sum of £492 13s 4d., paid to !hat company for loss ou sale of C nsola , pti-eltve , l ?many vetrS ago at par. and the sum of £4O, old solicitor', ace,:u o. Ac, I,si - able portion of the two latter sums having been paid out of new capital, the debt due from the old cqmpany to the new has been consequently increased, and the same now amounts to the sum of £2,106 6s. 3d., as shown by the balance ac count. A reduc.ion and assimilation of the company's got.tis rates has been made during the past half-year; notwith standing which, it will be seen on comparison of the present half-year's traffic with the correspsndingsix months Inc June, 1836 and 1857, that a considerable increase has taken place in the traffic receipts, which increase your directors have no doubt will go on augmenting, through hooking arrange ments being now complete over the Monaghan Extension and Portadown and Dungannon lines. The Banbridge line is expected to be opened for traffic in a few mouths ; and the Dundalk and Enniskillenline is rapidly approaching completion to Enniskillen ; all of which must necessarily ma terially benefit your present line, as also its extension inland. The following is a comparison of the trrffic for six months ending June, 1838, with the two corresponding calf years:— June, 1856. sun - , lit 7. June, 1858. Passengers, parcels, horses', carriages, and dogs... ~ 4176 9 9 £528 13 9 £609 911 Goods and live stock 26t 9 6 305 11 1 422 211 274. 10 3 35 11 10 £1,031 12 10 This increave your directors hare no doubt will be highly satisfactory to the proprietors, showing, as it does, the self supporting character of the present limited length of line, the working charges on which must necessarily be heavy, continued repairs requiring to be made to the rolling stock, and renewal of sleepers from time to time being made to the permanent way, in lieu of worn-out and decayed ones; all of which, and other SUMP, properly chargeable to traffic, appear in this half-year's accounts. Toe present loco motives of the company—purchased so far back as 18:54 —being unfortunately of different construction, have, with the rolling stock, during the pea half-year, proved utterly inadequate, both in power and number, to carry on the increased and increasing traffic of the company; and your directors have accordingly been compelled to purchase a new and powerful engine, which they expect to receive from the makers in two months. They have also, during the past half-year, purchased and paid for three covered goods waggons, which likewi‘e proving insufficient to carry on the goods traffic, three other goods w aggons have been ordered and delivered, as also an addition al pair of timber , :rucks, which your directors propose to pay for out of revenue—several small sums, balance of revenue accounts, having from time to time been added to general revenue account, from which account such payments will be taken. The attention of the proprietors is especially directed to the balance of £1,76913x. 84., which appears to be standing to the debit of Mr. W. F. Spacktnan, in the lezer of the company, and was so handed over by his son, the late secretary, to the present secretary. Your directors have ab stained from pressing for calls made on new shares till they were in a position to announce that they had entered into a contract for some portion of the line; and they are happy to state that, after several tenders had been received, they had entered into a contract with the well-known conte the ractors Messrs. M'Cormick, Greene, and King, f constri.ction of the new portions of the line as y extends from Lougligilly to Armagh, a distance of about fourteen miles—for the sum of £77,00, the company finding rails and sleeper) ; and as a proof of the good opinion entertained of the line by their contractors, Messrs. M'Cormick, Greene and King have subscribed. for mist derable number of shares, witho ut any addn to the contract price. The works will consequently be com menced immediately, and be procr eded towards campletien. It is right the proprietor, however, should distinctly under stand that the time within which the hue can be made must, of course, be measured by the promptitude with which all calls are paid up. A very c onsiderable portion of the land required for the extension li ne has been p urchased and pai d for since the making up of the half-yearly accounts, and may at once he placed in the bands of the contractors. A f,urth call sf gi per share, payable on the Ist . of October next, has been made on the new shares. Your directors continue to be fully satisfied that au immense and remunerative traffic must necessar ily pass over a direct line from Newry to Armagh. They consider the contract price as an extremely advan tageouscompared to what it would have one, and oil'ering, as they believe it to bena few and years modebraactke ; do, to the proprietots, in conjunction with the well known status and responsibility of their contractors, the fairest possible guarantee of the line being well and eco nomically constructed; end the English directors, Nadel! holding among them 1,000 deferred shares, being also the proprietors of 100 new shares e ac h, on w hi c h a ll calls are paid, and which shares they intend to hold—ence more recommend the project to the old Newry and Enniskillen shareholders, whose co-operation in raking new shares they again specially invite; feeling convinced that the proposed line, estimated by its cost of constzuctinn and the traffic and dividends paid on lines in immediate contiguity to it, coupled with their cost of cozstroction, cannot but prove highly remunerative. The fact of the old shares being de ferred in point of Interest to the new, your directors consi der as an additional argument in favour of a portion of the new shares being taken up by the old propriet ors , by which means the extension line will be more rapidly pushed towards completion, and of course be sooner placed in a dividend-paying position to the new as well as the old shareholders. $o fully satisfied were the English directors that the old Newry and Enniskillen line, on account of its very limited length, never could be worked to pay a dividend, and that the only salvation of the property con sisted in the present extension being speedily carried out (no legal or Parliamentary power existing on their part to sell or lease the line to any other company) that in order to provide the funds necessary to lodge the Parliamentary deposit, in 1856, they raised the sum of £lB,OOO upon loan from the Union Bank of London, and have during the past half year paid off (out of their own resources) the sum of L 1,500 each on account of such loan ; for which amount they respectively stand as creditors in the books of the company. This fact as to the subscribed er borrowed capital has been stated at several public meetings held is Ireland, previous and subsequent to the passing of the bill, to the Committees of both Houses of Parliament, and is well known to the proprietors; and the sum of £12,750, the Parliamentary deposit lodged in the bands of the Accountant-General, Ireland, which has been considerably augmented by additions and accumulations, stands as a credit to the new company, as shown in all the accounts submitted to the proprietors since the reincorporation of the company. Four of your direc tors, viz , Mr. C. H. Battimore, Mr. James Ander ton, Mr. J. R. Burbridge, and Mr. G. E. Taunton, retire at this meeting by rotation; and the three fernier gentle men, being all eligible, hare given notice of their intention to offer themselves for re-election, and will be proposed ac cordingly. Mr. Taunton does not intend to offer himself for re-election—his other avocations not permitting him to devote his time to the interests of the company; and due notice has been given that Mr. Elias Davis, of 54, Tavis•ock-square, London, a gentleman influentially connected in the city of London, and the holder of 257 deferred shares is the com pany, will be propos , d as a director, to supply the vacancy at the London board caused by Mr. Taunton's retire ment During the past half-year Mr. Lupton, one of your directors—not deeming his position as director of your company and the Warrenpoint Company altogether com patible—resigned his office as a director of your com pany; and Mr. M'Culla, of Newry and Armagh, late an auditor of the company, was accordingly appointed to the vacant seat at your board in Ireland. It will be the province of the meeting (if thought advisable) to elect another auditor in his stead, and Mr. E. Jeggins, one of the English auditors, who retires by rotation, hut is eligible, has given notice of his intention to offer himself fir re-election. Your directors being desirous of retaining your confidence, and being satisfied with the ultimate results of the line, when completed to Armagh, again repeat their former pledge not to seek for any remuneration for their services until after a dividend has been declared to the share- holders, except only for such sums as they have actually paid out of pocket in attending the board and half-yearly meetings, one half of which it is proposed to charge to new capital, and the other half to revenue."

A meeting of the magistracy of tie metropolitan county wits held yesterday, at the Court-house, Clerkenwell—Mr. Henry Pownall in the chair—to transact the ordinary bust s 4. The most important notices on the paper, relating to neg.tations between the Metropolitan Railway Company and a committee of justices as to the proposal to make a tunnel under the House of Correction, Celdhath-fields, and the expenditure contemplated for the enlargement of that prison, were postponed, the Chairman stating, in answer to Lord Ebury, that no definite answer had been received fro►n the company. Upon the report of the Committee for Finance and General Purposes, certain fees charged in the coroners' accounts were disallowed as usual, and a letter was read from Mr. Baker respecting the dis pute between the court and the coronets on this subject, in which that gentleman said there was an end of all confi dence between him and the committee. It appeared from the prison reports that there were in Coldhath-fields 1,325 prisoners—felons, 676 ; misdemeanants, 470 ; vagrants, 170; in Westminster Bridewell, LOW ; and in the House of De tention, 231—total, 2,585. An election of matron for the Westminster Bridetvell took place. There were five candi dates selected, of whom Mrs. Susanna Maria Biiliter was successful, receiving 30 votes, the next 7, and the three others nil. The basis or standard for the new county rate was taken into consideration and acopted. An amendment was prop , :sed by Mr. F. Chalmers, and seconded by Mr. Bird, to refer the basis hackto the committee for recon•i.lera tion on the ground Oat the prit elide upon which tt any f (rronftw• ; ill, it cuss neea• tivtit, and tie Cola held that any parish might arpeal which thought itself aggrieved by the new assessment. The old assessment was £8,427,236 ; the new one is £9,166,827, which, allowing fur a deerease, gives a net it:crease of £730,491. It was rcp•rted to the Court that a prisoner in tie House of Correction, named Thomas Page, had received 36 lashes with the cat-o'•nine tails for having struck one of the officers with a cell pot, and that in the Westminster Bridewell there had been tour cases of choleraic diarrhoea, which bad been successfully treated by the surgeon. An increase of £l5 per annum was made to tire remuneration of Joseph Ingall, who has charge of the ventilation of the sessions houses. The usual formal business was gone through, and the rates, under the Mutiny Act, having been fixed, the Count adjourned. The Royal Mail packet Tamar, which left South ampton with the Brazil mail on the 9th, arrived at Lisbon early on the morning of the 13th, having made the passage in 3i days. NVRECK OF THE SCREW STEAMER TIMEs.-IVEsT HARTLEPOOL, August 24.—The captain and c rew of the late screw-steamer Times, of the port of London, arrived here this morning and reported the loss of their vessel on Sunday afternoon, about 35 miles off' the land. The Times was a trader between Newcastle' on-Tyne and Holland, and left the port of Haarlincen, in the latter place, on Saturday, with a cargo of cattle for Newcas'le. The weather was then perfectly fine, and continued so during the remainder of the passage. About two Web- k on Sunday, without any pee vious warning, the shaft of the screw propeller suddenly broke near the stern-post and burst the stuffing box, tearing away the thick metal plates. The water rushed into the leak in spite of the efforts made to stop it, and in twenty minutes it bad reached and extinguished the engine fires, and speedily filled the whole of the aftermost part of the vessel. The bulk-head fortunately sufficed for a consider able time to keep the vessel afloat, and enabled the . crew to save a good part of their property. The captain and crew took to the boats at 5 p.m., and lay b y the steamer till i 8, when she went down, about 35 miles off the land. The boats then shaped their course for the shore, which they reached at 6 o'clock this morn in g , making the fishing village of Scotches, whence they were towed here by a tug. After in leaving the wrecked steamer the boats fell with the schooner Clown, of Aberdeen, Nicholls, master, who took the crew on boar d, and kindly treated them till they de parted. 'They afterwards fell in with a Danish schooner, w hi c h they also h oarded, and the captain of which enter tained them hospitably. The Times was the property of Mr. J. Vane p pen, was 184 tons register, and insured.
