THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1858. We earne3tly invite public attention to a com munication from that consistent and indefatigable monetary reformer, Mr. HAMER STANSFELD, which will be found in another part of this day's impres sion, respecting the recent Report of the Bank Committee, to which we have already referred in our leading columns. Mr. STANSFELD has, for the present, restricted himself to exposing one of many fallacies contained therein, to show up the grave error exhibited in paragraph No. CO, in reference to the supply of bullion maintained in the coffers of the Bank. He also states that he is prepared to show that " nearly all the paragraphs expressive of opinion are equally objectionable, and opposed to the facts given in evidence." We trust that he will do so, being well aware that there is no man of sounder judgment or more complete in formation on the all-iinportant subject of the Currency, than the talented author of " The Bane and Antidote of our Monetary System." He would, therefore, be fully competent to discharge tiapicluous task ; and we feel assured that to him t - - community. The Committee seemed to forget that the only bullion really available was that which remained in the Banking Department, either in the shape of "hard cash," or notes against which bullion had been deposited, and which might therefore, to all intents and purposes, be regarded as the very bul lion which they represented. No matter what the exigencies of the Bank—even though it should be compelled to close its doors, and refuse payment either of notes or cheques—not a single ounce of gold could be taken from the " Issue Department," save for the purpose of cancelling a cor responding amount of paper. There may be an abundance of specie in the vaults ; seven or eight millions may be carefully packed up, being of no greater utility than an equal weight of quarry stones, while the Old Lady would be so pinched in the Banking—the real working department—that she could not provide a quarter of what the exi gencies of the nation imperatively demanded, and what from the important position which she occupies, and the privileges she enjoys, she is bound to do ! Time was when the Bank of England could supply the wants of the community without any restrictions, save those which prudence imposed. There have unquestionably been crises, but those arose under the Act of 1819, which was radically vicious per se, although its evils were enormously aggravated by the iniquitous enactments of 1844, which have been by many regarded as the neces sary corollary and supplement to the former mea sure. There have been panics in 1825, 1837, and 1839 ; but few will a sser t th a t th e y were anything so serious as those which occurred, under the opera tion of the present law, in 1847 and 1857. • In 1825 the Bank was_ saved from closing its doors by . the accidental discovery of a box of £1 notes, the circulation whereof immediately allayed the panic. It was not bullion but currency that was required. As Lord ASHBURTON declared, " the credit of the Bank for all domestic purposes was perfect. There was no man in the country who was not ready to take its paper as a means of circulation, and even to give gold for it, the moment he was assured his neighbour would take it from him again." A large additional issue of notes, chiefly for £1 each, was made, and " the relief was inunediate. The country received a circu lating medium in which everybody had en_ tire confidence, and the useless gold was returned to the Bank !" It might be supposed that, after these striking events, a salu tary lesson would have convinced our financiers of the value of these useful instruments of exchange, £1 notes, which saved the nation, even at the eleventh hour, from a financial collapse ; but, strange to say, the effect was to cause the prohibi tion of all notes for less than £5 sterling. They defeated the views of " the hard calculators " of 1825, and were, therefore, effectually got rid of, so that no such efficient aid can again be obtained. In 1837 and 1839 the power of unlimited issues again saved the country, and was again marked for destruction by the code of 1844. The conse quence was that the Act has been twice necessarily suspended ; and last year, but for the deliberate violation of the law, the doors must have been closed, the business suspended, and an arrangement entered into with creditors. Indulgence would unquestionably have been extended, inasmuch as the ass e t s were amp l e, b ut so were t h ose o f M ess rs. p ENNISTOU N and Co., and Messrs. NAYLOR, VICKERS, and Co., who, notwithstanding, were obliged to stop payment for the time being.

That marvellous application of a mar vellous power virtually brings together and binds into one homogeneous mass, the whole of our vast and hitherto scattered colonial possessions. Re collecting what it is that is reallysignified by the title of the British Empire, remembering that the nucleus of that mighty dominion is geographically, and, when viewed simply in regard to the superfi cial area of its dimensions, comparatively speaking, but an insignificant fraction of the whole—lt be comes obvious upon the instant that anything giv ing the Government of these realms almost the attribute of übiquity, at any rate the capacity of all but nearly instantaneous communication from their centre to their circumference, must have a value in a manner priceless of its kind, certainly beyond the reach of computation. Already, moreover, we may speak without extravagance of this extraordi nary advantage as one which is actually even now secured to us. The grandest obstacle of all anywhere discoverable has been vanquished-41i at is to say, the greatest breadth of salt water that need any where be traversed, in order to link toge ther continent with continent—hemisphere with hemisphere. The Atlantic overleapt, or rather underleapt there remains nothing whatever to cause us, for a single instant longer, to remain in doubt as to the most astonish ing power now lying within the grasp of human ingenuity...that of threading the wholet surface of the globe and all the depths of the various seas and oceans with a wiredrawn network, enabling man to talk from one extremity of the earth to the other by means of the vibrations of the magnetic needle upon a dial-plate. The Atlantic —two thousand miles across from shore to shore — has been spanned ; and with a tongue of lightning Valentia talks to Newfoundland. Having accom plished so much, there remains no fear as to the future achievements of engineering in the laying down of similar cables hither and thither at our own free will and pleasure, wherever and when ever it may appear desirable to do so. Telegraphic lines to the East Indies and Hong Kong, to the West Indies and Australia, become henceforth — as we remarked only the other evening—merely a question of time and money. Our power to lay them we have proved. Audible and occular de monstrations exist at this moment—proofs that may be seen and heard in those oscillating and clicking needles upon the dials of the telegraph, here in Ireland, there at Newfoundland. It is beyond the need of argument—this astounding capability We have now only to decide upon the routes to be adopted upon the seas and rivers—the islands and continents to be traversed. We have only after wards to calculate the cost, and to estimate accu rately which cable would be most lucrative—and the thing is done. " Give us rope enough"—and the globe is bound together by a copper network more wonderful in every way than the iron net work previously ramifying north, south, east, west, in Europe and America, especially through what is called the railway system. It is a magnificent incen tive, truly, to the enterprise of the Anglo-Saxon race —that of bringing its scattered millions into instant communication. It is like getting rid at once of all the estranging influences of emigration to places hitherto. sooner ,%.• 1 " - ** - were bringing our remotest colonists bacli - again to the mother country, to the old fatherland. It used to be said of our neighbours across the Channel—" Prance, it is Paris." As epigranunati cally and truthfully it might be said again, now that the submarine electric telegraph is secured to us as a system—" The British Empire, it is Eng land." For from this point of ground, upon this small island home of ours, on this veritable standing place of ARCHIMEDES, we may now, as a race, reso lutely plant our feet, and—move the world! Move it, with the thrill of the electric current conveying the mandates of the supreme Government to the limits of the empire, under the waters of the great deep, to the remotest shores of either hemisphere. Erin-go-Wagh ! We trust that our friends of the Green Isle -will not think we have forgotten them because we have not specially adverted to Irish wonders or Irish news of late. We confess that,with its VICEROY and petty Court,lreland ought to come in fog more distinct notice, occasionally, than amalgamated Wales or affiliated Scotlana ; and just now the social, religious, and commercial surface of the sister island seems to be somewhat more stirred than usual. There are, or have been, Viceregal progresses, and the progresses of Cardinals, and the progresses of Mr. SPURGEON too, and the doings at Valentia and at Galway, and the very potatoes themselves—all inviting public attention. We had almost forgotten—pardon us, Ulster ! the conflict between the Presbyterian General Assembly and the War-office, and the capitulation, on tern's, of General PEEL. The Assembly was as considerate to the vanquished Secretary as Lord PALMERSTON and LOUIS NAPOLEON to Russia, and the dignity of the General was graciously considered by the Irish followers of JOHN KNOX. First, then, we must eat, and Irishmen must eat —potatoes when they can—they being as much an institution of the Ireland of this century as the rival Churches, the Viceroyalty, or the favourite beverage and the pig. Well, this year potatoes promise better than they have donee since they re volted, and rotted, and refused to feed their plan ters, and sent them by hundreds of thousands to Canada and the States, by hundreds, alas, to untimely graves, and fairly repealed the English Corn-laws, and broke up Conservatism, and scattered English parties to the winds, and inaugurated the present sub-division of parties and Government by minori ties, and laid necessity on Tories to turn Reformers. Let no man then despise Irish potatoes—should they prove restive, and rot again, what politician would answer for the consequences ? M present they are, as we have said, better behaved than usual—ln dian corn may k eep on the other s i de Gf the water, and Ireland w ill re j o i ce i n her potatoes, an d wheat to England, an d spen d the moneyse i n li d int her_ provements, and employ her peasantry, and all will be as merry as Father WHALE will let them. 1 But Father WHALE is now a star only of the second magnitude. A live Cardinal in red or scar let is peregrinating the country, and receiving uni versal homage. Ireland must thank England for him —to Westminster belongs the honour f being the see of a Cardinal Prince ; and so she venerates the representative of the Vatican, that she does no t intrude upon his retirement by public meetings and greetings. Ireland honours after its kind, and that kind is papal, and, as she terms it, Catholic, though we do not understand the catholicism of ignoring, or anathematising, or consigning to " uncovenanted mercies" the more educated and enlightened half of Christendom. But Catholicity is a matter of opinion ; it is a matter of fact that the gay Cardi nal—gaily dressed, we mean—is thronged around and feasted, andfeasts himself and drinks toasts —to the POPE and to the Roman Catholic Church, but not —as report negatively with —to QUEEN VI CTORIA. Why should he ? Did she not sign a worthless THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBEW:72,q 11358. Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, and has it not discolinted unhandsomely the dignity of the second title in the world ? But Irish Catholicism is to come to the help of maltreated English Catholicism; and who knows but that some day a Roman Cardinal may sit in the House of Lords beside an English Archbishop, and that the bright days of a WOLSEY may return, to end, it is to be hoped, a little more comfortably for WOLSEY or WISEMAN the second? But the implacable enemy of Rome and " black episcopacy " is alive in the North ; and while WISEMAN and his priests are compelling the Go vernment to give Roman Catholic clergymen equal status in the army with heretic clergymen, the disciples of KNOX, in General Assembly mus tered, proclaim it their duty to nominate Presbyterian chaplains for the army, and send two names to General PEEL, with the expec tation that these two shall fill the two vacant offices —unless he has already invaded the " crown rights of Immanuel"—(lmmanuel meaning the General As sembly of PresbyterianDivines)—and appointed two already. Luckily the appointments are open—but the General demurs to the dictation of sending him but two names,with a—." them,"and no other—them, or we refuse a licence ! Send me five or six to select from, says the General. The Cardinals of Presbyterianism wisely accept the offer, and once more it is cedant arma togce. The same North has been on the qui wive to hear our racy young orator of the Surrey Gardens. Opinion seemed very much divided, ; the crowds of course were not wanting, and the rough-and-ready declamation seems to be of the same kind as draws its thousands here; it seems, too, to have gratified there abundantly numerous audiences, but cool headed and long-headed descendants' of the cove nanters, the Scotch-Irishmen, or Irish-Scotchmen, appear to think that the mighty logic of their Doctors of Divinity was wanting ; and that flashes of genius or oratory, amidst much bordering on irreverence or vulgarity, are not sufficiently " solid food" for the strong theological stomachs of Pres- byterians. Well, Ireland has at least one wonder to boast — she shares it, to be sure, with another British Isle — she is the first link in the chain which binds Europe to America. More of her sons are there than probably of all the rest of Europe put to gether, and it is fair that she should have the first wo'rd with them. If her Galway scheme of packets succeeds,who can tell that she may not yet become the grand out-post for the Western World. She wants chiefly the enterprise ; why should not that arise ? We may then see Galway the resort of hosts of passengers, anxious to shorten the ocean part of their trip to the uttermost. The heavier goods traffic can hardly be changed from its present route. Coals—factories—and local advantages must retain that where it is. LYCEUM THEATRE. Last evening a new farce, the joint production of Mr. W. Borough and Dr. D. Franck, entitled, " Kicks and Halfpence," was performed for the first time. The plot, though slight—which in pieces of this kind we take to be rather a merit than other wise—carries out a very happy idea. Mr. Honey dew (Mr. Emery) and Mr. Picklepod (Mr. J. Rogers), cousins, meet by accident at a hotel, after having for many years lost sight of each other. On comparing notes, it is found that Mr. Honeydew has been very fortunate in the world, everything having prospered with him, and that Mr. Picklepod has been very unfortunate, everything having gone wrong with him. Under these circumstances Mr. Honeydew chivalrously offers to share his for wl.th his ecm.in. and: the 'Mir agree to by associating with the fortuuate Honeydew he may catch the infection of his luck. This hope is destined to be disappointed. Mr. Picklepod fails in everything—gets into scrapes on all hands, while the lucky Honeydew prospers, and succeeds in all he undertakes. Honeydew is fortunate enough to withdraw his money from a bank two days before its failure. Picklepod puts his money in on the very day of the stoppage. When Pickle pod takes his revenge upon his enemies, the punish ment, with consistent perversity of fortune, falls upon himself. Mr. Picklepod proposes to the land lady, who expects a fortune, while Honeydew en gages himself to the landlady's niece for her own sake. A waiter, who covets the landlady for him self, sets the Atlantic Telegraph to work to 'ascer tain whether the landlady's brother in New York has really bequeathed his fortune to his sister. The i answer is - 61 the old man is dead, and has left his money, not to the landlady, but to her niece. Picklepod's ill-luck sticks to him to the last. His prize turns out a blank ; but he is consoled when he discovers her to be his aunt, and, as Mr. Honey dew says, "You can't marry your aunt, you know." So to the last Mr. Honeydew has all the halfpence and Mr. Picklepod all the kicks. The piece rests entirely upon Mr. Emery and Mr. Rogers, both of whom played with much humour and spirit. The house was very fully and fashionably attended. His Excellency the American Minister and family have left town for Tunbridge Wells. _ _ The Count and Countess de Persigny arrived in town on Tueoday from Tunbridge Wells. The count and countess have since left on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, at Bretby Hall, near Burton-on-Trent. The Duke and Duchess of San Arpino have taken a mansion at Brighton for a few weeks. The Marquis and Marchioness of Winchester have arrived in town from Brighton. The Countess Howe arrived at Curzon House, a few days since from Gopsall, Leicestershire. The accouche ment of Lady Burghersh is daily expected. The Earl and Countess of Euston are passing the season at Euston Hall, Suffolk, where they have a nume rous circle of friends assembled. Lord and Lady Aveland and. tho Hon. Miss jleathcote have returned to their seat, Normanton Park, Entlandshire, for the season, from Paris. His lordship is n excellent health. The Hon, Miss Foley arrived in town on Monday from visiting Lord and Lady Foley at Worksop Manor Notts. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lord Stanley arrived in town yesterday from Hughonden Manor, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. Sir John Shelley, M.P., arrived at Maresfield Park on Saturday from Scotland. Yesterday, Sir John and Lady Shelley and Miss Shelley arrived at their residence in Park-lane, from Maresfield. Mr. and Mrs. A. Perrier, of Lota, county Cork, have left town for Ireland, on return from Paris. Mr. Bentley has found it desirable, with the view. to make his arrangements more complete, to postpone the publication of the first number of his New Quarterly .Review till the end of February next, when it will appear with the magazines. lISR MAJESTY AND THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. —The citizens of the United States are indulging in an extraordirLuy amount of exultation at the success which has attended the laying of the Atlantic cable.

AMERICA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY MORNING. The Arago, steamer, Captain Lines, has arrived, with New York mails of the 21st ult. She has 106,000 dols. for Havre, but none for England. Among her passengers are the Hon. J. P. Stockton, United States Minister to Rome, and Hon. Antonio Pader, bearer of despatches to Madrid. She spoke steamers North Star and Fulton — both outward bound. The Arabia, from Liverpool, arrived at New York on the 20th.

By the arrival of the Prince Albert we have news from New York to the 21st of August. The New York accounts of the 21st of August say : " The general markets yesterday were moderately active for cotton, flour, and wheat. "Prices were strongly in favour of sellers, espe cially for flour and wheat. Corn unsettled. Dis tillers' oats, having been most inquired for, were firmer. " Provisions, groceries, naval stores, and oils, ex hibited no very remarkable change. " Freight continued depressed. "There is no political news of importance.

THE BOMBAY MAIL. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company have received the following communica tion : " The steamship Euxine, with the Bombay mails, arrived at Marseilles at 10 a.m. yesterday (Wed nesday). " The mails left for London at 2 p.m. " The ship will be in quarantine until Thursday afternoon." AUSTRIA. VIENNA, SEPT. 1. The Emperor has this morning decreed that the National Bank shall resume its cash payments on the Ist of November next. SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette of the 27th ult.,announces that in the previous morning the Queen and the King left Gijon for ,Covaclanga. The Gazette publishes a royal decree appointing Colonel Miguel Trillo, of Figuerra, aide-de-cainp to the King Con sort, in the room of Brigadier Bouligni, who was dismissed with other friends of General Narvaez when O'Donnell was appointed to the Premiership. The despatch of an important expedition against the Riff pirates was considered imminent. A letter says : " The Court is to return to Madrid between the 15th and 20th of September at the latest. The Queen has given up, to her great regret, her pro jected journey to Salamanca and other cities, which have sent deputations praying her to honour them with a visit. Her Majesty is so well satis fied with the result of her journey that she intends next year to visit other provinces of the kingdom. A longer stay in the provinces at present would be inexpedient, and perhaps not without danger to the State, as the violence of parties increases, and It is high time for the great powers of the State to resolve pending political questions." DARING ROBBERY ON THE LIVERPOOL Ex'- CHANCE.—.yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon a clever rob bery from the person was committed on the Liverpool Ex change. It appears that Mr. Duncan, a merchant, after drawing £230, in notes) from the Manchester and Salford District Bank, Catle-street, placed the money in the side pocket of his coat, and proceeded towards the Exchange. On going through the folding-doors leading to the news room, a person coming out met him, and placing both hands on Mr. Duncan's shoulders, addressed him in the most intimate manner, " How are you, Mr. Johnson, how are you ?" and then, as if aware of his mistake, apologised to Mr. Duncan, and hurried off. A few minutes after, Mr. Duncan, suspecting something wrong, put his hands into his coat pocket, and missed his money. The matter is now to the hands of th e p ro p er au th or ities, who are in pursuit I f the impudent thief. THE COUR7'. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort left peutz at ten o'clock yesterday morning, and took leave of the Prince of IT6lienzollern Sicgmaringen and Count Alexander Mens- d'wff At Verviers, her Majesty was met by the Duke and Duchess of Brabant and the Count of Flanders, who ac companied the Queen and Prince to Antwerp, and went with them on board the royal yacht. The royal party ar rived at Antwerp at half-past three o'clock, and were con veyed from the railway station in the carriages of the King of the Belgians to the Quai, where his Majesty's b arge was _ _ likewise in waiting ; and her Majesty and the Prince Con sort, the Duke and Duchess of Brabant, the Count of Flanders, and the ladies and gentlemen in attendance, im mediately embarked, and proceeded on board the royal yacht Victoria and Albert. At a little before five the Duke and Duchess of Brabant, and the Count of Flanders took leave of her Majesty and his Royal Highness, and the yacht immediately got under weigh, and steamed down the Scheldt under salutes from the forts. The Victoria and Albert cast anchor off the village of Fernoos, at about eight o'clock. At three o'clock in the morning the anchor was again weighed, and the yacht proceeded upon her course for Eng land. The wind had blown very strongly with occasional storms of rain during the day, and her Majesty had in con sequence determined to land at Gravesend ; but the weather moderated during the night, though there was a stiff breeze, and at a very early hour in the morning her Majesty's orders were given to steer for Dover. The yacht having arrived at its destination at about ten o'clock, and a special train having been kept in readiness by the attention of the directors of the South Eastern Rail way, both at Gravesend and at Dover, her Majesty landed at about twenty minutes past eleven o'clock, and proceeded by railway to Portsmouth. The train was brought into the dockyard, where her Majesty was received upon her ar rival by Admiral Sir George Seymour, Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir George Grey, K.C.8., and Major-General the Hon. Sir James Scarlett, the Lieutenant Governor. Her Majesty, with the Prince Consort, immediately em barked on board the Elfin, and proceeded to Osborne. In attendance upon her Majesty were tady Macdonald (Lady of the Bedchamber), the _Hon. Caroline Cavendish (Maid of Honour), Col. the Hon. A. N. Hood (Equerry in Waiting), and Col. the Hon. Sir C. B. Phipps. OSBORNE, SEPT. 1. The royal dinner party yesterday included Prince Alfred and Princess Alic,e, Lord C. Barrington, and Lieutenant Cowell. Major-Gen, the Hon. C. Grey and Lieut.-Col. Ponson by have succeeded ColOnel the Hon. A. Hood and Captain Du Plat, as Equerries in Waiting -to her Majesty and the Prince Consort. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lord Stanley ar rived in town yesterday, from Hughenden Manor, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. I.—The screw steamer Vigo,_ belong ing to the Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Com pany, sailed to-day for New York, with a mail, cargo, and 315 passengers, of whom 105 are first cabin. On Sund a y next the royal mail steamship Persia sails hence for the same destination. SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAI HALF-YEARLY MEETING-THIS DAY. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the pro prietors of the South-Eastern Railway was held this day at two o'clock, at the Bridge-house Hotel, Southwark. The report having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN rose to move that it be received and adopted. In the course of his remarks, he stated that there had been a decrease in the total receipts, notwithstanding the increased number of passengers of each class conveyed upon the railway during the past half-year. This decrease was ac counted for by the falling off in continental pas sengers, the receipts for London, Dover, and Folke stone traffic being less by £9,367 than in the cor responding 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 during the same period. This falling off in the con tinental, traffic was attributable partly to the com mercial depression of the past season, and partly to the increased stringency with which the French passport regulations were enforced about the beginning of the present year. Measures had, however, been recently adopted, both by the Eng lish and French Governments, calculated greatly to facilitate the intercourse between the two countries. By an Act of the British Legislature recently passed the price of the Foreign-office passport had been reduced from 6s. to 25., with increased facili ties to obtain them. The French Government had also sanctioned. excursionist passengers landing at the French ports on certificates issued. by the South-Eastern Company, without occasioning any inconvenience or expense to the public. Notwith standing this decrease in the receipts, the directors were gratified to find that the elasticity of the local traffic had been such as on the whole to maintain satisfactorily the aggregate of the revenue deriv able from passengers. A decided tendency to a general revival in the traffic of the railway had been manifested dueng the last few weeks, which may well inspire the shareholders with confidence as to future prospects. The total outlay on capi tal account during the half-year amounted to £24,627, less £8,325 received from the sale of sur plus lands. The principal items of expenditure had been incurred in enlarging and rebuilding the stations so much required at Redhill Junction and at Margate, and in completing those on the Strood. and Maidstone branch. The outlay on those works had received the sanction of the proprietors. In conse quence of the short supply of carrying stock, re ported by the general manager as inadequate for the proper conduct of the merchandise traffic, it had been found necessary to enter into a contract for 250 goods waggons at a total cost of £19,500, or £10,112 in excess of the sum authorized by the proprietors to be expended for such purpose at their meeting of the 7th of September, 1854. He felt gratified in stating that the competition between this company and the Great Western and South- Western Companies for the London and Reading traffic had been brought to a close, and that an agreement had been entered into on the basis of equal rates being charged by the three companies, and the total receipts being divided among them in proportions agreed upon. The directors had also concluded an amicable agreement with the South- Western Company for the avoidance of all compe tition with them at stations on the line of the Read ing and Reigate Railway, from which it was anti cipated that mutual advantages would be derived by both companies. The gross receipts on revenue account during the half-year ending the 31st of duly last amounted to £495,102 (including £20,341 from steamboat traffic), being a decrease of £7,421 as compared with the corresponding half year of 1857. The ordinary working expenses during the half-year amounted to £190,620 (being a decrease of £6,389 on the cor responding period of 1857) ; the rates, taxes, tolls, and Government duty to £34,031 ; and the working of the steampacket service to £14,970. After pro viding for the fixed 'charges in respect of rents, in terest, annuities, preference dividends, &c., there remained a net balance of £112,660 available for dividend on the ordinary consolidated Stock of the company. A dividend of 9s. per £3O stock, or at -"- would absorb a sum of 111,605, leaving a balance to be forward of £1,154, and the directors thought that a dividend of that amount might safely be declared. The motion was after a short discussion agreed to, and the proceedings terminated with the usual vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. RAILWAY INTELLIGEN CE. WELLS AND FAKENHAM. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Tuesday afternoon, at Fakenham, Norfolk; Mr. H. W. Keary in the chair. The statement of capital account showed that £88,208 had been . received, and £82,688 expended. The general balance-sheet, however, stated that £6,464 still remained due for engineering and law charges, land, &c. The revenue account showed that the receipts from traffic during the six months ending the 30th of June had been £1,656, while the expenditure, including interest on mortgage bonds (615) had been £1,774. On the motion of the chairman, the report and accounts were adopted, and the proceedings closed in the usual manner. COLEFORD L MONMOUTH, USK, AND PONTYPOOL. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the share holders was held at Usk yesterday ; Mr. Crawshay Bailey, M.P., chairman of the board of directors presiding. The Secretary, Mr. Waddington, read the re port, when the chairman said that at present they would pay no dividend. Still, enough had been earned to pay the debenture interest, and to leave a small balance. From the day of opening, the 12th of October in the last year, to the 30th of June, 1858, 170,000 passengers had availed them selves of the line, the receipts having been £2,322, and altogether with minerals, &c., £3,280. In every particular the receipts were increasing, and he had no doubt that on reaching the Forest of Dean the minerals to be conveyed thence along the railway to Monmouthshire and South Wales would render the line uncommonly remunerative. The report was adopted, and votes of thanks to the chairman and directors closed the proceedings. DISSOLUTION OF THE SHEFFILD, RO THERHAM, BARNSLEY, WAKEFIELD, HUDDERSFIELD, AND GOOLE. The half-yearly ordinary and special meeting of this company was held on Tuesday, afternoon, at the Stafford Arms Hotel, Wakefield ; Mr. F. B. Beaumont, of Woodhouse, Darfield, occupied the chair. The secretary read the report, from which it appeared that this was the last meeting of the com pany, it being dissolved under the Act of Parliament for vesting this railway and works in the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Comp an y . T his Act of cnvg of theyancee Par liament received the Royal assent Aug. 2 ,1858, By a se c c t, io a n nd 6 i u t p i o s n pr t o h v e ide e d xe th eu a t t io fr n om of th t e h p e "s o therein referred to, the above company's railway , an .re Railway and therebyi exercise works become tested in the Lancashire andYorkshi enjoy the rights and privileges app e rtaining to the com ly.,Caonmdpany, become- whroesp responsible sble for all its itaedngage ments and liabilities.

At tire conclusion of the ordinary bu s i ness o f the meet ing a resolution was proposed by the chairman, authorising the execution of the deed of convey ance, by affixing The - thereto the common seal o f th e company.,,resolution was carried an d th e seal affixed. The statement was then decla re d dis solved. The of accounts al rea d y sub mitted to the shareholders showed a balance to the credit of • capital of £686 Os. ld. on the 30th of June last. Since that date the directors have paid all outstanding accounts, including Parlia mentary and other expenses incidental to the passing of the act, amounting to £355 2s. 10d. This left a sum of £330 17s. 3d.—On the motion 6f Mr. Scott this sum was voted to the directors for their services, of which Mr. Scott spoke in the most complimentary terms. The Chairman, in conclusion, said, in now retiring from the duties which the directors had carried on for upwards of 13 years, they desired to congratulate the share holders upon what they could not but consider the very favourable position in which they had been fortunate enough to be able to place the property, namely, by securing for it a parliamentary right to a perpetual guaranteed dividend at a rate so much superior to that ordinarily earned by railway enterprise. Votes of thanks to the chairman, the secretary, and the solicitors to the company, concluded the proceedings. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DERBY SUMMER MEETING.—WsprtzsDAr.
