Sir,—ln your excellent memoir of T,plEs. is stated, in re'erence to hisc anad l' e alas Moore it that the book in which the original o,,mpabn.Boat Sung,. o r m ti on was in scribed found its way, at the expiration discovered that the music back to its former owner, who, to his gree n' Years, in % p e r was as much hi s ow s u urPrise, words. a This as the account, which i 3 in the latter p art correct, last edition from a note attached to the son But the edition of the poet's works. book did not rev& rt to the poet, nor are the circumstances, s „ ir , againrewchiiecihy dar,etaiiin:de.resting, under which he In 1839 1: of Science in that city. I , .or ß e r visited Dublin on the oceasiOn of the rn—ting - cf the were not rare events , of Asiociation fur the Advancement %A/11'0h at that perio cl r ty. At one of the festive scenes, he wo uld surrou ndedmost o h be ave pr v e o s u e e n h te s d afe t d o lady, had snot my brother _egged to learn how ' Canadiati " Ei S o h a e t f ' l possesses the orig inal Song.'" At these words the poet begged enough. The this came to pass. The facts were simple book, which was " Priestley 's Le blank leaf of which t the song and i h e muskure;" and on the were pen- Gilled, belonged to Mr. HSTDPB9, with whom Moore was travelling in Canada. On his dea , h the volume came into the possession of Mr. Maconchie, of Edenmon. near Dublin, who presented the book to his daughter, and who very properly regarded the gift as most precious. _ . - Moore then expressed the strongest desire to see the book, and it was arranged that I should accompany Miss Maconchie on the following day to a bookseller's shop in Grafton-street, where the poet had a room for writing his lettere, and where he arranged to meet us. I shall never forget the plea sure he manifested when his eyes fell on the well remembered lines. He gazed at them long and earnestly;—so long and so earnestly, that my fair com panion at length exclaimed, " Oh, Mr. Moore, I hone yen do not want to rake the book from me." " No Miss Maconchie, indeed I do not," he replied; " but if you knew what thrilling remembrances of a happy past the contemplation of this page presents, you would not wonder at my feelings. Since I wrote these lines," he added, I have been going so fast down the rapids of life, that I owe you much for enabling me to live, though but for a few minutes, in the past, and I shall long re member this pleasant meeting." But for once his gal lantry played him false, for, in the note to which I have referred, he states that a " gentleman" showed him the volume in question, and the lovely girl—for such indeed she was—is not mentioned. It would not have been so in his more }outhful days. At my request, Moore authenticated the lines, stating the circumstances under which they were written, add ing his autograph; and, with the book thus made addi tionally valuable, I escorted Miss Maconchie home. I am, Sir, your humble servant, Hastings, M.tecii 2. C. R. WELD. THE LATE AND THE NEW MINISTRY. We have received a copy of the following addres., by Mr. Macgregor, the Member for Glasgow, to the con stituency of that important city. The opinions of such a man as :1f r. Macgregor, who it is well known assisted Sir Robert Peel so materially in framing those free-trade measures from which the country is deriving so much benefit, will he read with peculiar interest at the present time.—ED. Sun ] TO THE ELECTORS AND NoN•ELECT, RS OF GLASGOW. Geutlerueu,—l consider is my duty, as your Repre sentative, to submit to you my opinions on the present uncertain state of public affairs, at a time when you may, as a great manufacturing, mercantile, and maritime community, nanually apprehend with consternation any attempt to disturb the commercial legislation of the last ten years. When I recently addressed you on the subject of our national defences, we had then a Ministry pledged to Parliamentary reform, and to a free-trade po licy. That Ministry has abruptly fallen. It died of the senility of an unprecedented official exclusive ness, of the :obsolete folly a nut renovating with health, vigour, and efficiency the decrepitude of its wasted body, by the admission of popular strength. It was no more a national Government than St. Albans is a great and pure borough, when compared in the moral, political, and material scale with London or Glasgow. It was an Administration which was only endured by the good-natured sufferance of the House of Commons; for, as a party, it hail no majority . either in the country or in the Parliament. It will be Judged of by posterity even with less credit than it really deserves, because it wanted both grace and dignity, as well as the elements of conciliation, pepularity, and confi dence ; and, more than all, because its manners were contumelious, while it was also impotent in the Legislature. During six years we were told by the thorough adherents in Pail acne nt of the Russell Ministry, that that campaet Government must exclusively continue to govern the dr;tish empire, on the presump tous gtound that there were not other men iu the whole nation who could succeed them; and at the same time possess the confidence of the country. This ungracious assertion was allowed to pais over, partly as the pert ness of official levity, chiefly because there was no desire to be obstructive, while in the present House of Commons, tparties were subdivided into four or five sections. But it was at the same time considered by reflecting and reasonable men, to be an insult to the Parliament and to the nation, for the immediate undeilings of any Government to say there were no others but their masters, or ministers, who could administer the affairs e,f this mighty country; and that, in fact, one or two Whig families were alone gifted with the Divine right of breteding the Statesmen of the Bri tish empire, to the exclusion of all the other Lords and Commoners of the United Kingdom. That assumption, as well as the fact, was felt to be contumelious in senti ment and arrogant in practice; not but that there were highly gifted and able men in the late Ministry, but that the principle of its infatuaVd official exclusiveness, of its selfishness and nepotism, disgusted the whole nation. It was further remarkable, that taking the whole public press of town and country, there was only one newspaper— an evening journal—that did not denounce the selfish ness and nepotism of the late Government. In addressing you as my constituents, I must not shrink from boldly stating facts. I speak of the late Cabinet as a Government, not as individuals. Tte country ones gratitude to Lord John Russell for abo lishiog the Test and Corporation Acts, for his share in the Reform Bill, and other measures. No ort) can speak psreonally against L , rds Linsdawne, Clarendon, Carlisle, and Granville; Mr. Labuuchere, Sir Francis Baring, and even the much-abused Chancellor of the Exchequer—who, in reality, was too frank and honest to ne popular—were all gentlemen , of the meat upright charecter, bows ver much ethtrs may have differed from thsm on public Tv stiens. A year ago the Russell Ministry resigned, and on re turning to office, it survived through the session, on the Bill for resiSing Papal Aggression. But all discerning mess clearly saw its approticnieg downfall, and its utter powerlessness. It 'chit not, in fact, possess the coefidence of Parliament and the country to carry any reul mea sure of financial, legal, or Parliamentary reform. There was, however, in that Cabinet one eminent statesman, who gave great strength to the Ministry in the House of Cemtnens, and woo was at the same time a favourite with the people. Yet he. the ablest member of that Miuistry—the most popular in Par liament and the country—the moss truly British, libe rel. generous, and patriotic in the administranon of his de7, artment, in Parliament, and in society—the most mag nanimous in mind, temper, and character, was abruptly dismissed—in a manner, I believe, unprectd,nted. Not for a c mversation with the French Ambassador, not for writing a private opinion to Lord Nor manletn bat evidently because " he would not lict," . .in the termer laeguage, in Parliament, of his recent accuser, " as the minister of Austria, ur as the minis , er of Russia, or of France, or of any other country, but as the Minister of Er:glaze]," I believe . that I quote Hansard, of the 2011 June, 1849, correctly. lie was oistun , sed, in fact, because he would not fraternise with Schwariz , tiberg and the des; ors, who now opeely menace with ex:emanation the constitutiowil Gov -rnments of Switzerland, Sardinia, and Belgium. lie was dionisstd for reasons which would have pieced him, at least, in a high peeition; before the ountry, but wnich it would have been impossible for him, as an ex-Minister, to have revealed, when he, in reply to the late Premier. made t.is a xpl.uatious in the House of Commons. The moment the Foreign Secre tary ceteed to be a member of brie late Cabinet, its dis sotution was not only evident, but inevitable. It has died, and it bas been entombed, unlamented, never, as a party, or as a compact. to have a resurrection, The late Ministry bar, notwithstanding, considerable merit due to it for some of its measures. I entertain, and I believe many , others do also, the highest esteem for several, who, in their individual departments, have done good service to the state. But that compact Ministry has passed away, and w.ben Lord Lansdowne bade fare, well to public office, with that grace and dignity which has always distinguished him during a long and merito rious public life, the sole link in the chain which con• nected the great Whig Sta'esmen of the age of Fox with the present time, deespp, ared, and the Whig., as a party, or rather us a compact, has vanished for ever. With respect to tee new or Protectionist Ministry, power was forced upon them. Office overtook them, ill-prepared for its administration, and if they would at once abandon the impracticable and impossible policy of reviving any tax on the essential food of man, I think that, for the present eession at least, the House of Commons ought to Extend to them as much sufferance as that which was displayed towards the Whigs. But we will have no Parliamentary reform, no legal reforms, no law on education, no financial reform daring the present session. The estimates brought in by the late Government, and the renewal of the Income-tax fur one year, will probably be serried; and the Parliament will then be either prorogued or dissolved, that is to say, if the Government he not defeated cu the motion of which notice has been given by Mr. Villiers, in which event there can be no doubt of an immediate dissolution. We will probably have little Irish discussion this session. Lord Clan ndou, if he has act left Ireland in a thoroughly satisfactory c ndition, has administered the government more sblv and justly than any Viceroy since the, days of the celebrated Lord Chesterfield. If this session endures, it is, however, more than probable that the Mayttooth Grant will be 'evoked, and the money thrown, into a General Educational Fund for The question of untaxed 'or taxed faod will, however, be the main subject of debate, and, to the Ministry, of danger. They are pl ed g ed to protection, and if Lord: Derby and his colleag ues abandon the t axing of foo d, be willand h b designated c abi u e Cabinet, a an org anized greater traitor than Sir Robert Peel org anized perfidy. But the principles of f r ee and unrestricted t ra de will, it is supposed, not be inter:erect with mite after the next elec tion. Lord Derby does not, however,'sbandon the doctrine of protection. lie admires, but does net by any means com prehend the tariff s) stem of the United Stases. If he did, and compared the old high protective tariff of America with the present one of compeiratively moderate duties, and then jud ge d impartially of the fav o urabl e effec ts of the l atter , b ot h t i scs il y on too& or on any and judgment would have led hire :o conclu.ions not fa vourable to protectton, but to free trade. I have no ap oreheeion whatever of any return to protection duties e revived in these kin dome.

A policy so dangerous would do far more, it would engender a spirit' s of anar chy and insubordination,; and it would be impossible to calculate the consequences of a strife between the bread-eaters and the landlords. Of all the dangers to be dreaded, none would be so fatal as those which would be the consequence of a re-imposition of the FOOD TAX. Parliamentary Reform was to have been the great public question of this session. The unsatisfactory England, Scotland, - and Ireland, which been presented to the C ommons by th e ex . P r ime m ha e d asures for En Minister, and which have, of course, vanished with the late Cabinet, did not, far from it, contemplate a fair representation of the people, on the maxim which I hold to be the only one of legislation and finance that can be just. i. ee that representation and taxation should be inviolably made inseparable. The Eng lish Bill. instead of preventing, would have greatly ex tended corruption. If a well of foul water is not to be purified by pumping into it the dirty liquid of the neighbouring ditches, rotten and corrupt boroughs can on ly be purified by disfranchisement. Can equitable taxation and just representation be possible, when there are more than one hun dred English Members who have now seats in the House of Commons, the population of whose united constituencies do not amount to the population of the city of Glasgow, which only sends two Members to Par liament? The English Bill also, which would have greatly increased the elements of corruption, would have also rendered the ballot, which it bad not, indispensable. We must and will have, but not during the present Par liament, eebeyatfhaer latediff G eren hv t a p r l a a m n e o n. of Reform than that intro ducedLsgal Reform.—. With the opinions said to be enter tained by the ex-Lord Chancellor, no one expected any good legal reform. Much to the credit of the new Go vernment, their law appointments, from the Lord Chan cellor downwards, have perhaps never been surpassed for judicial and legal abilities. I wish, however, that in stead of leaving the affairs of Scotland to a Lord Advo cate (and none could have given more satisfaction than Mr. lAhnevief ), that there would be appointed a Secre tary for Scotland, who would not be compelled to attend in the Parliament House, in Edinburgh, for the greater part of the time which his duties to Scottish affairs re quire that he should devote to his attendance in the Par lietnent at London. The public and legislative affairs of Scotland can never otherwise be satisfactorily discharged. Colonial Policy. --The Colonial- .ffice which has ling been the most arduous and perplexing department of the State, requires at its head a statesman of the greatest colonial information, the clearest sagacity, the m ost dispassionate t emper , a nd the most soundjudg ment. Exclusive of the Indian empire, of which I shall say nothing in this letter, but that its charter must next session at farthest be subjected to Parliamentary revi sion, we have in our North American colonies that sa tisfaction and prosperity which has resulted from having fully conceded to them responsible self-government. In the W est Indies. the question of abundant labour is essential to their prosperity, almost to their existence as British colonies. I hope that without attempting Si restore or continue differential sugar duties, which would tend not to benefit, but to bring against those colonies further competition from India and Malacca, the present Government will take up the question of allow ing the West India planters to procure, without restric tion, abundant free labour. The Kafir war is a calamity which affects all British taxpayers. I fear it will absorb all the surplus revenue. and leave nothing to enable the new Chancellor of the Excht quer to abolish any odious tax. Lord Grey is, how ever, tar from being answerable for all the Cape Colony evils. He inherited some of the most difficult to remedy, especially that of the unjustifiable extension of dominions, far beyond the means of defence, over the territories of the K.-firs. Had the ex-Colonial Secretary (pos sibly be may have been restraieed from doing so), five or six years ago, sent the Cape .colonists a consti tution, giving them the same responsible government as that which her Majesty's subjects in British North America have for twelve years enjoyed; had no attempt been made to force the Cape of Good Hope to become a penal colony, he might then have said to the colo n i s t s , "Retreat within the limits which you can defend your selves, for you shall have no portion of the taxes paid by the British people, to fight in defence of your avari cious and dishonest encroachments. Ceylon and the M,urititis are tranquil- and, we hope, prosperous. The Australian colonies, Van Diemen's Land and New Zealand, have recently received consti tutions. May they be found practical and satisfactory. Yet, I fear, the gold discoveries will ruinously derange the labour and industry of these settlements. As to our foreign relations, I have no doubt but that the Earl of Derby's policy will be as pacific as that of Lord John Russell's would have been. Yet if, as pretended, Lord Palmerston was dismissed f or considering that the French alliance was the most im nortant of any for the peace and interests of the United Kingdom, and that, of the two, be considered the internal peace, the security ot the property, and of the credit, and of the progress of the trade and manufactures of France, were better insured by the President gaining the ascendant, than by letting loose on the country the Red Republicans and Socialists, who swarmed in the late National Assembly; it is also asserted, that Lord Malmesbury is the intimate friend who had frequently visited Louis Napoleon at Ham, and extended to him princely hospitalities in this coun try. I disbelieve the alleged cause of Lord Pal merston's dismissal; for, if I am not greatly mis taken, Lords John Russell, Lansdowne, and some other members ot the late Cabinet, were of even stronger opi nions than the ex Foreign Secretary with regard to the coup cf Etat of the 2d December last. 1 abhor despotic acts, whether by a president, an emperor, or an oligarchy; and I consider anarchy and disobedience to the laws the most odious evils and ulnicting calamities which can heftsl a nation. it is the vital interest of this country to avoid intermeddling with the affairs of other states. We may abhor th. , attociles committed by the Neapolitan Government —so generously and ably exposed by Mr. Gladston. ; we m.y condemn despotism in France and, worse ; but we have nothing to d o poli c y or government o f t h ose countries. Let us remain neutral, as w e can wi 11 do from our geographical in; let us tree ourselves, us than with all, :he in internal A ,re u a s i trie too termed, in his valed ictory a d dress, " entang li ng alliances" with foreign powers; let us avoid war, anti }et be in a sufficiently defensi ve state; l et us never assume soon as we honourably can do an, from what wa„hine the aggressive, except to recover positive rights, or in order to maintain, on just grounds, the freeckm of our natural and equal right to the maritime highways and markets of the world; let us strive, not by any act dero gatory toneantionaanlydipgenoitt, or state, and let us endea but by honourable conduct, nut to otooff la in id ltieartceoutrhsee between the B ri ti s h e mpire and goodwill and extend and main tvaoiu t o conciliate h r afr e all the nations of the world. Such is the foreign and commercia l policy that we ought to pursue ; th at which will be just and dignified to ourselves and to others—that which I will always contend for—and which, I believe, is regarded as wise and just by the great majority of the people of the United Kingdom. I entertain a high personal respect for many of the members of the new Cabinet, whom I know, and how ever much I do differ from them on cumanrcial, financial, and Parliamentary reform questions. I believe them. at the bailie time, like all to be sincere and honourable in their sentiments and opinions with regard to the dignity and safety of the empire. I, for one, with many of my friends, will neither encourage nor take any part s iu a factious oppo sition to their administration. But this new Cabinet must not hold the empire in sus pense as to its commercial policy, nor can we allow them, without dissolving Parliament, to frustrate or deter a re form in the representation of the people. We want, in fact, to know what we are to expect from them, and what they intend to deny us as a people.

The spring half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the South-Eastern Railway was held yesterday at the Bridge-house Hotel; Mr. James M‘Gregor, chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. The advertisement convening the meeting having been real by Mr. G. S. Herbert, the secretary, the re port was submitted to the proprietors, which has already been published in The Sun. The CHAIRMAN thet --- Pjeiceeded to address the meet ing as follows:—As you have been pleased to take the' accounts and report as read, I shall ask your permission to make some few observation on them, and to state that, in my humble view, the position of the company as therein pourtrayed is a satisfactory one. The increase in last half-year's receipts, compared with the corre sponding half of the preceding year, is 58,1781.35. id.— (Hear.) •I admit that we all expected a greater result from the last half year's traffic with the continent, seeing that the Great Exhibition was a paramount attraction, but the competition for the continental traffic was severe, and although no other route presents to the traveller so much comfort or so much expedition as that by the South- Eastern Railway, the difference in price in the fares charged by our route compared with the rates charged by other inferior means of transit was great, and many passengers to whom economy was a greater object than comfort, and to whom time was unimportant, were ab stracted from us—(Hear, hear)—and, besides, we must in justice remark that the Northern Railway of France, after having made a compact with us for express through trains at reduced rates for return tickets, made a still further reduction in their rates by other routes.—(Hear, hear.) The whole continental traffic of the year 1651, between Great Britain and the ports of Antwerp, Ostend, Dunkirk, Calais, Boulogne, and Havre was 317,104 passengers, of which number 170,966 travelled by the South-Eastern Railway.--(Hear, hear.) The gross increase of receipt for through traffic earned last year, compared with the half-year ending on 31st January, 1851, was 23 . 0001., a small sum under the cir cumstances of the half year, an increase, indeed, that might have been expected from the facility given by toe tidal train's, ensuring every day a journey to and from London and Paris in twelve hours, without other attrac tions.—(Hear, hear.) lam persuaded that the expedi tion and the comfort which was secured to continental passengers by the south-eastern route, and by which , to service was performed. without a single failure, will ensure its being known and availed of to a greater ex tent, year by year.—(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, you will notice, with great satisfaction, the increase of re• ceipts upon the main line of 18,000/. ; upon the North Kent line, or 5,000/, ; upon the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate. O 1 16,000/4 and upon the Greenwich lice, 1,9001., from domestic passenger traffic—an increase which will, I trust, be maintained heereatter.—(Ceeers.) the increase in the goods and coal traffic has been gradual and satisfactory. La , t half year it was 11,115/, open the main line and branches.—(Hear, hear.) I venture to submit to you the particulars of goods end coal traffic, as it is shown from the soar 1844 to the present time. For the half-year end ing 31st July, 1844, the earnings from goods traffic, when the South-Eastern Railway had 89 miles open, was 87/. per mile. For the half-year ending January, 1852, eith 270 miles of railway open, the earnings were 2461. per mile. Of coal traffic the same comparison shows in 1844 the quantity carried to be less than 50 tons per mile of railway open, and now, with the increased mileage, it is 157 tons per mile of railway open.—(Hear, hear.) I make this statement in earnest that time and careful attention will enable us more skilfully and more successfully to meet the competition by which we are surround , d, to increase the comforts and facilities given to the inhabitants of our district, and to insure a greater return to ourselves. The accounts submitted present to you evident:; of economy in the management of the company, in regard to the points which are within the control of the directors.—([Tear, hear.) The con ,umpiion of coke is diminished—the improvement in engines has lessened the quantity of coke used—with a grouter amount of traffic and mileage run, and larger arrange, wahave burnt a less quantity of coke.—(Hear ) We have run 168 ; 300 more train miles, and consumed 650 tons less coke.—(Hear, hear.) At the same rate per mile as the charge for the halt-year, an economy of 1,750/. has been effected.—(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, you will observe that, from the commencement of the present year, we have contracted for a supply of coke, in excess of what is manufactured by the company, at one out of three sets of ovens, at an economical price. We are to pay 17e. lid. per ton, instead of 20s. 3d., the charge last half-year.--(Cheers.) There is also a pros pect of this cost being further reduced, by the establish roent of a more economical mode of transit from the coal pits to the coke ovens, by the use of iron screw steamers.—(Hear, hear.) We have taken mea sures to t conomize the consumption of stores. —(Hear, hear.) An improved system of superin tendence during the latter months of last half-year enables me to say that the advantage thus gained will be contisuous, and that further economy will appear in our next half-yearly report.—(Hear, hear.) I esti mate the saving in coke and sores during the ensuing year at 4,000/. to s,oool—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, you will observe that the accounts presented to you, which have been verified by the auditors, and by Messrs. Quitter, Ball, and Co., the accountants em ployed by them, show that you may declare a dividend at the rate of three and a half per cent. per annum, or 10e. 6i. per 301. consolidated stock, and that a surplus will remain of 4,26£1. 12s. 10d.—(tiesr, hear.) I have to submit to you, nu the part of the directors, their eati mate of the amount at which the capital account will be closed. Gentlemen, assuming that t he engineer's estimates for the completion of the works in progress will cover the outlay requisite for that purpose, and that the asses s set forth in the company'a balance-sheet to 31st Ja nuary, 1852, and the surplus property will realiz the :11031 at which they are respectively estimated, et ,d of wn!ch the directors have satisfactory evid, nce. tlse pre sent means of the company are sufficient for the cloaieg of the capitol account, at the teal sum of 9 692 3751, which will be thus represented: — Consolidated stock ............... £7,433,700 4 Guaranteed 5t0ck.,.... 481,300 Bond Debt ........................ 1,784,375 £9 699 375 We suggest in the report the propriety of c .nverting 1h" bond debt into a permanent guaranteed stock, and look ing forward to effecting that measure at the rate of 34 p-r cent. per annum, there would be a reduction on the outgoings of last half-year of 8,7371, or 17.4741. per annum.—(Cbeers.) Gentlemen, I will not occupy your time by alluding at present to the lease of the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Railway, as that subject must be discussed at a special meeting when this general meeting is over. — (Hear, hear, and l ou d cheers.) At this meet ing one of the auditors, Mr. John Morgan, and three of the directors, Mr. Renshaw, Captain Warren, and I, retire by rotation. The directors were alive to a sentiment entertained by the proprietors that the system of re-elecing retirin g di rectors should not pro ceed without exception, and in deference to that senti ment we submitted to you a proposal that on the present and future occasions one retiring director should not offer himself for re-eh.ction,—(Hear, hear.) The pro position so submitted to you has met with universal ap• probation. By agreement among the directors, my honourable colleague Captain Warren does net offer himself for re-election on this occasion. The directors respectfully submit to you that in their humble opinion it will be for the interest of the company to elect Mr. R ch, the Member for Richmond, who is one or the can didates soliciting your suffrages as a member of the board. They believe that by such an election the influ ence of the direction and the interests of the company will not be diminished.—(Cheers.) The Chairman con cluded by moving that the report of the directors and the statement of accounts be received and adopted.—(Hear.) The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN seconded the motion. In reply to Mr. LEVY, The CHAIRMAN said she reduction in the cost of coke was upwards of 2,000/. compared with the preceding half-year. Mr. LEVY wished to know how much the company had been robbed of this year in the purchase of coke? The CHAIRMAN did not like a proprietor using such an expression. If any gentleman would look to his household accounts, he would see that there had been a great difference in the price of coal since the Great Northern Railway bad been opened. Mr. LEVY said ho knew well what ought to have been the proper cost for coke. The CHAIRMAN said the directors did not put forward the reduction as one showing great merit on their part. They only relieved the revenue of a portion of a heavy charge in consequence of a reduction taking place in the price of coal.—(Hear.) Mr. GEo. SMITH regretted that the smallness of the dividend, compared with that given by neighbouring raileays, called from him an expression of disappoint ment and dissaisfiction—an expression which he be lieved would be entirely shared by other proprietors.lf he wanted t o b r i ng f orwar d a vote o f wan t o f confi dence in th e di rection , h e w m heid do so manfully; but hesitated d o i ng so .

Mr. LEVY said the public voice was in favour of new blood being introduced into the board. Now though he thought it desirable to have new blood, he would never pander to such an appetite,—(A laugb.) It was a de praved appetite. If there was any good blood in the noard—and he did not think there was much—he thought they ought to keep it. The proposition of the board with regard to the appointment of new directors was nothing more than a j but it was wrapped up well. — (Laughter.) The best man, Captain Warren, had been turned oat of the board.—(Hear.) He was a British sailor, who had done much for the company in France, and he was the last director who ought to have been ousted.—(near.)§Ele should be glad to know if he could not give his vote for Captain Warren's re-election. e. The CHAIRMAN told Mr. L ev y th at , as an indepen dent proprietor, he mut liberty to prom" hie I election -(Cheer.) Mr. LEVY said that he would move his reeelection, for no one knew more of their French traffic than Captain Warren.—(Cheers.) Mr. CROOK was glad to hear that the capital account was about to be closed, for until the capital account ot railway was closed there could be no dependence in the genuineness of the dividend.—(Hear, hear.) He was very much disappointed in the amount of the dividend to be declared on this occasion, and he hoped in future economy would be studied even to a greater extent than that pointed out by the chairman.—(Hear, hear.) He announced his intention to propose a resolution to the effect that the chairman's stipend be reduced from 2 0001. to 1,0001, and the directors from 2001. to 1001—(Oh.) Mr. LEVY called the Hon. Proprietor to order. Before such a resolution could be proposed, notice of it must be given in regular order.—(Hear, hear. The CHAIRMAN overruled this objection. The Hon. Proprietor was quits at liberty to propose such a reso lution, but it must be at a later period of the meeting. Mr. CROOK—Then why did not you interrupt me before, if I was going wrong? Mr. LEVY—Because I like to hear as much as I can of your jaw. Mr. GEORGE thought the only method to improve the dividend was to reduce the working expenses.—(Hear, hear.) Why not take the printing into their own hands, and allow the salaries of the heads of departments to in crease with any advance in the dividend, as was the case on the Brighton line.—(Hear, hear.) It was a false policy to reduce the pay of a servant, and he hoped it would not be applied either to the directors or the work ing staff:—(Hear, hear.) He recommended, in future, that all the contracts should be open, but, above all, pay their servants well, and also serve the public well. Mr. W. REID should be glad to know when prelimi naries were likely to be ace enplii.hed for clueing the capital account? He thought the account ought to be closed at once.—(Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN said it was impossible to close the capital account now, but, excepting with regard to the work now actually in progress, and the goods ware houses on lines recently opened, the directors were pre pared to give a pledge that uo works should be under tsken vvithuut ihe sanction of a general ineeLing.— (Cheers.) The working eat - rinses of the railway were greatly exaggerated by improperly importing into the calculations the Interest and commission attendant upon their mortgage bonds.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. LEVY asked what they were paying to the Beek of Eeglatel? The Cnaleeraer said ei per cent., but the money which the Bank lent them was worth that price when it was wanted.—(Hear, hear ) Mr. LEVY complained of the extravagance of the interest. The CHAIRMAN !aid 030 proprietor had found fault with them tor not ptetieg lights into the third-etas carriages; but why should they so long as they were ferced to run a Parliamentary rain at a los4—(dear ) be carriages which formerly induced passengers to provide themselves with candles were now all run in daylight.—(H. ar, hear.) Mr. LEVY tidied how much they were going to speed on the North Kent line? Five thousand pounds were spent upon this line last year. The CHAIRMAN correc,ed the Hon. Proprietor. They did not expend 5,0004 upon the North Kent alone; but the proprietors, if they wished to have their property protected from unjust and ruinous competition, must repose confidence in the directors as to the expense they went to on that account.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. LEVY repudiated the idea that it was a boon con ferred upon the shareholders to allow them to elect their directors. It was their right, and he objected to Mr. Rich, M.P., being brought forward in this way.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN said Mr. Rich was a highly respec table man, and besides being a director of the Sun Lie- Office, ho had also been honoured with the confidence of her Majesty's late Government, and was a thorough bu siness man.—(Hear.) Mr. LEVY repeated, that in losing Captain Warren they were going to replace him by a vastly inferior man.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. BROWN said Mr. Levy had made some reference to him, when tie spoke of the interest paid to the Bank of England.—(Hear, hoer.) Now, he begged to inform the meeting, that the statement he made to Mr. Levy was given in confidence. .Mr. LEVY denied this. Mr. Brown came to him and wanted him to join with him in getting up an opposi tion to turn out the chairman.—(oh, oh! and cries of " Turn Brown out.") Mr. BROWN made some confused explanation, bat he did not deny the charge made by Mr. Levy. Mr. Weesoer attributed the low dividend to the ex travagance and mismanagement of the executive. He had long ago warned them of this, and worse would fol low if they did not follow the advice which he had so long ago dinned into their ears. The great evil was the many tributaries which the directors bud so per versely persisted in buying on all hands, which never would. be of the slightest use, whatever promises the directors might continue to hold forth. As for the dividend, he believed that it was the best they ever would have ; next year it would be more likely to be 6d. instead of lOs 6d. The management was most detective in every point of view. The CHAIRMAN threw back the insinuations of Mr. Wilson on himself. He would ask that gentleman with regard to tributary lines, who was it that was se anxious for the extension of a railway to Bl ac k we ll ? Whe Was it that had subscribed a sum twenty times larger than his interest in the South- Eastern Railway to supp+lt a line to Gravesend to com pete with this hue? .Mr. WILSON denied that ho bad ever done so. The CHAIRMAN said that his source ot information was a Parliameteary ducument, and be might have peen mistaken. The resolution confirming the report was then put and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then moved a resolution declining Iliviciend of 3 per cent., which wee secoeded by the DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN, and carried Unwinnoudy. Tee t HAIRMAN next pie-posed, and the I)EPUTY CHAIRMAN seconded, a resolution empowerieg the bier cams to tele., such steps as they might thole fit to e ntorce the payment of owstanding calls to arrear, whim, wa- alto cirri. d without de,cussion. The CHAIRMAN next proposed, and the DEPUTY CHAIRMAN secouded, a resolution empowering tte dire titers to sell the shares purchased by the company, and converted into consolidated stock, by tender to the highete , bidder. Mr. WILSON objected to the, sale of the shares. Mr. Alderman SALOMONS was quite of opinion that the shares ought to be sold, but in such a matter he would not trust either broker, public meeting, or board of directors; he would suggest that the shares should be sold by public auctoin. A SHAREHOLDER proposed that the pre-emption of the shares should be offered by letter to every one of the shareholders in proportion to the interest they severally held. Mr. Alderman TH-DIPSON asked the Chairman whether the financial state of the company was such as to render it absolutely necessary to bring these shares into the market? Tne CHAIRMAN said, in answer, that the sale of the, shares was absolutely necessary betore the capital account could be carried. The uumbt rof those shares was 6,200. Mr. Small said he should propose an amendment. that a committee of five shareholders should be ap pointed to confer with the directors on this subject, and report in a month. Mr. LEVY seconded the amendment. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON proposed, by way of rider, that the directors should have the power which they sought when they were able to close the capital account. The CHAIRMAN said he should have no objection to add words to this effect. A SHAREHOLDER proposed that this matter should be deterred to a future meeting.
