It ex tended more than a quarter of a mile, and wizs impelled by the Goliah luggage engine, a powerful ldeomotire, having six wheels connected, built at Swindon, upon the plan and under the superintendence of Mr. Brunel. The - weight of the trucks alone was estimated to be nikarly -200 tons, and, with the loading, to nearly 300 tons. It was considered advisable to attach the Harpy passenger engine ahead of the Goliah, when it precteded with -as much ease . as an ordinary train.

ORLEANS AND TOURS.—BetWCER Blois and Tours the circulation has been suspended on account of the overflowing of the Loire. The board of dir,Ctors have announced that no accident has been occasiored ki t i tle same, and that any ,damage the lin e may b are sust,ined will be a t the expense of the state. Rou AND HAVRE.—Tbis line is speedily to be opened. The company have informed the ISLni6tcr :of Public Works, that in a few days all the works of art will be finished, and it is intended than an engint er of the state, and o e appointed by the company shad survey the whole line. The viaduct at I3arentin been re• constructed with th e greatest possible care, end with great promptitude, according. to the stipartions pre scribed by the Council-General of Highways. ORLEANS AND VIERZON.--The works on this line have been most seriously damaged by the sudden risie g of the river Loire, the - bridge - over which fOrthe k•-rviee `of . the rail having been to a great extent shatt(-n-d.. It is thought that it will be found necessary to rec4.nstruct the bridge entirely, which would postpone the opening of the line for nearly one year, unless a temp o: s t y strue. ture could be supplied. The bridge had be, n subjected to the severest tests to try its solidity, and has proved perfectly secure. As soon as the accident IA as made known in Paris, the Minister of Public Works repaired to Orleans, where M. Floucaud, engineer of highways, charged with the surveillance- of the works on the central line, was stationed. Although the delay of the opening of the line will be severely felt by the company, the state will be at the expense of reconstructing the bridge -•- 1846 . - OBE OC :rt ., 7 - - 4 N G 4 1 k :.4.*;-It RSD - u 1 11 ON DO N' NAVAL INTELLIu ENCE. PORTSMOUTH, Ocr. 27:—By the following order, just issued to the commanding officers of the fleet, it appears that naval men are to enjoy an immunity from arrest for debt, which none other of her Majesty's lieges are suffered to felicitate themselves upon. The order is altogether a most extraordinary one, and so general in its application as to include the enire service, on full pay and half-pay, for officers and men in " actual service and full pay of her Majesty's fleet" ar e no t exc l us i vely specified, which will certainly lead to the abuse of the privilege, as it will be no difficult matter for an officer on half-pay to get his friend in commission to put him under temporary arrest the moment the debtor has a suspicion he is being looked out for by his creditor. That the Lords of the Admi ralty should deem suck an order necessary is a cutting reflection upon the honour of naval men generally, which we cannot but think they would rather have been freed from:— PRICE SD. best feelino- ' , because I always admired the ManchestManchesterand Leeds Company as men of business. It is true that at one time we got a little cross, but I stood steadfastly by your interests, and I am very happy to know that I brought them through sately and unscathed. The resolutions were then put and carried una nimously. Mr. LovE proposed, and Mr. CBAWSUAY, of London, seconded a motion of special thanks to the chairman, which was carried amid loud applause. - Mr. HUDSON said in reply—To me it is a source of ambition, pride, and gratification, that from all the com panies over which I have the honour to preside, I have always enjoyed unanimous support and confidence. I hope that in pro:noting the interests of the shareholders, I shall not forget the interests of the public: If I know anything of myself; I believe I have done fairly betwixt the two parties, and to this I attribute the success of the undertakings with which I am connected. It is very well, now that these undertakings are basking in sun shine, fur parties to get up and hold up to contempt, by the use of opprobrious terms, individuals connected with them. There was a time, when not only the share holders, but directors, had to contend with difficulties almost appalling. We have surmounted those difficulties by perseverance, energy - , and industry, and, having done so, I think we . are richly entitled to our reward. The public, at•the same time, have been benefited immensely. fhe agriculturist, the commercial man, the man of plea sure, the poor, the rich—all have participated in our success. The agriculturist has been enabled to send his produce to market at one- half the former cost. For instance, there has been a difference in the price of' corn to the extent of 4s. or ss. per quarter at Wakefield and Driffield; and as we carry corn upon the Bur lington line at 2s. per quarter, what an immense ad= vantage it must be to the landed interest to have this ready means of access to a better market ! Then the poor are benefited by having coal brought( to their , dams at one-half the price, and which has effected a saving, in the case of the city of York, of about 30,000/. a year. We have not only reduced the price of that article, but added much to the enjoyment of the poor man, who on his return home on a cold winter's night, can resort to a comfortable fireside.—(Applause.) We have no objet tion to interference with our concerns if we are reaping an unfair advantage ; but we do object to those who laughed at us in our difficulties, now coming in to legis late, and to take from us that which we have fairly earned, and to which we are fairly entitled.—(Applause.) In whatever position I am placed I shall always regard with gratitude and esteem the man who embarked his c vital under disadvantageous circumstances, and I shall always rejoice and lend my willing hand to protect that property to the utmost of my ability, knowing that in doing so I am protecting the interests of the public. between two companies so deeply involved in each other's interests, could be more beneficially entered into.—(Hear, and applause.) And I trust, unless you see some strong reason against su c h an arrangement being mae, that you will assent to it, because lam quite satisfied that it would tend to great economy, and also to the advantage of the public. (Hear, hear.) I feel strongly that one establishment and one management from York to Berwick would be most desirable; and if it should go beyond there it would be all the better.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, you arc aware that we have entered into the possession of the Hartle pool Dock and Railway; but we shall keep the accounts separate until we have obtained the sanction of Parlia ment to the purchase. On the 30th of November next the coal lease on the York and Newcastle-line will ex pire; and after that p o rigid we shall come to a consider ably larger receipt for coal traffic. Our recipts are ratin r more than 6,000/. per week for this balf-year, and I trust to see them considerably augmented.—(Applause.) With respect to new projects we do not contemplate asking the sanction of Parliament to any great under takings during the next session. The first Bill will be for the Tean Valley line, which will give a shorter and more direct route to the city of Durham, and will pass through an important district both as regards minerals and population. We shall have a small extension on She Gateshead line to some considerable manufactories. It will not exceed two or three miles in. length, but will give us a large accession of traffic on the parent line. We shall have another Bill to confirm our pur chase of the Hartlepool Dock and Railway, and we also contemplate a small branch to the town of Easing- Wold. We shall also apply again for a Bill to enable us to construct a dock at Jarrow Slake. We are now greatly inconvenienced for want of increased facilities in the shipping of coals, our Means not being adequate to our wants. We are working night and day, but it is impossible that we can provide for the traffic until we can increase our dock accommodation, when we shall much increase our trade, and cause to be brought from foreign ports a large quantity of general merchandise.— (Applause.) The cost of this dock will be about 100,000 L, and the work will be of easy construction.—(Applause.) These are all the undertakings for which w e s h a ll so li c i t Parliamentary san c ti on i n th next session. lam happy to inform you that the Boroughbridge branch is in course of construction, and will probably be opened soon after Christmas. The other branches are progressing, and will be brought into profitable operation as soon as possible. We propose that the -extension shares shall receive, after the Ist of July next, the same dividend as the original stock. We feel confident that we shall be in a condition to pay it, because the Newcastle and Berwick line will then be opened; the North British, I hope, will then be in an efficient state. Our traffic will be so considerable as to enable us to give our present rate of dividend on the increased stock. We have clauses in our Acts which enable us to convert our shares into stock, and this we propose to do at the next half-yearly meeting.—(Applause.) If before I put the resolution any shareholder should wish for any further infortaatioe, I shall be most happy to afford it.—(Applause.) Mr. H. LOVE put several questions on the chairman's statement, the aaswers to which, however, did not elicit any new facts with respect to the rate at which subse quent calls would be made. The CHAIRMAN said that the directors would care fully consider the position of the proprietors. He also added that it was probable four . per cent. would be paid on the extension shares issued in January, until they become the stock of the company ; but the directors have not yet made up their minds on this matter, which was of little consequence, as in all probability they would, ere long, have 9 per cent. The resolutions were then put and carried unan nimously. St. Vincent, in Portsmouth Harbour, Oct. 23. " The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty having acquainted me that their solicitor is of opinion that when any offic(r or seaman ill her Majesty's service is under arrest on board ship, the commanding officer of that ship is justified in not allowing him to be arrested under civil process for debt, and in using as much force as may be necessary to prevent the prisoner from being taken from his custody, the same is hereby made known for the in formation of the commanding officers of her Majesty's ships and vessels. " CHARLES OGLE, Admiral. " To the respective Captains, Commanders, &c." The following order, issued yesterday, is to a far more beneficial effect than the above, and one which has been, very naturally, anxiously looked for since the investiga tion by courts of inquiry and martial into the cause of • the death of Edward Redpath in a coal bunker:— " St. Vineent,.in Portsmouth Harbour, Oct. 26,, " The report of an inquiry into the - circumstances at tending the death of-a seaman "of her Majesty's ship Retribution having• brought to the knowledge of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty that punishment of confinement in the bunkers (and which in the above instance has been attended with loss of life) exists on board some of her Majesty's steam-vessels, their Lord ships issue their most possitive orders that on no account shall such punishment be inflicted in the fleet; and their Lordships take this occasion to call the attention of the officers in command of her Majesty's steam-vessels to toe necessity of a frequent and careful inspection of the coal bunkers, more particularly when under steam, and if the pressure of carbonic acid gas be detected, that immedirve measures be adopted to insure a duo vent:la tion, and for the introduction of pure air. " CHARLES OGLE, Admiral. "To the respective Captains, Commanders, &c." Shell practice from the Excellent at the Leviathan hulk (74.), moored at 2,400 yards range, was resumed this morning. We gave the practice on Friday week (the first day's fire), which exhibited but a beggarly amount of proficiency in the art of naval gunnery; only one shell out of twenty-two fired having struck the hulk, and that one so feebly as not to explode. This caused the "mysterious" committee alluded to upon the occasion to turn their thoughts to the cause of such a signal failure, and having put their heads together, they thought :they had found out their philosopher's stone in the shape of a chemical agent, which they fancied would insure success in their missiles. The new agent was accordingly tried to-day. The following is the result:— RAILWAY -SHARE MARKETS. MANCHESTER, Ocmaxa 27.

Since the above . was written th e f o ll ow i ng extraordi nary fact has come to our knowledge. It would appear the ill success attendant upon the first attempt to hit the hulk at so long (?) a range as 2,400 yards has roused the " mysterious" committee to endeavour to accomplish that grand desideratum by other means than the usual ones of firing from the decks of the Excellent. They have; accordingly, adopted the following novel, but not over creditable, " dodge," to accomplish their object:— A dockyard lump has been moored within a few hundred yards of the hulk, on which is mounted one of the shell guns! This vessel, being enabled to choose her distawe, offers an onoorttmity to those on board in charge of tier gun to tnrow snens and, in order that •there may be no mistake an nut striking the mark, the lump is grounded before the firing corn wences. Mr. T. PRICE then proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. The motion was carried by acclamation. The meeting then separated. MANCHESTER AND LEEDS. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, FOUR P.M.—This day at noon a special general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at the Palatine Hotel, Hunt's Bank, for the purpose of creating 10,640 new shares, of 501. each, in the Manchester and Leeds Company, to be exchanged for existing shares of the same number and amount in the Huddersfied and Sheffield Junction Rail way Company, in compliance with the requisitions of an Act passed in the last session of Parliament, intituled An Act to incorporate the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction Railway Company with the Manchester and *Leeds Railway Company.

The motion having been seconded, Mr. GEORGE HADFIELD, solicitor, called the attention of the chairman to the fact, whilst the shareholders in the Huddersfield and Sheffield Company were allowed interest upon their calls by the Leeds Company, the shareholders in the Bury and Liverpool Company were not allowed any interest at all upon the calls made upon them. Mr. DARBYSHIRE stated that the proper time to mention this subject would be at the Liverpool and Bury Railway meeting, which would take place in about three weeks.

On Tuesday the ceremony was witnessed of Mr. Vaughan Williams, the new judge, taking leave of the Society of Lincoln's Inn, of which he was a member. At ten o clock there was a large assemblage of benchers, barristers, and students, in the New-hall, when the ex pectant Justice of the Common Pleas was introduced with great solemnity, and was thus addressed by Lord Campbell:— " Mr. Vaughan Williams,—On account of the absence of the treasurer, I am unexpectedly called upon, as the senior bencher present, to address you on your taking leave of this society, with the view of your being created a judge. The task is easy and agreeable, foe I have marked your career from your early youth, and I. am well acquainted with your extraordinary merit. Having received a sound classical education, which ought al ways to be the foundation of professional emi nence, you began the study of the law, and you pursued it diligently, liberally, and syste matically, having before your eyes the example of your revered father, who was one of the most deeply learned common lawyers of modern times ; and who, if it had pleased Providence to prolong his life, must have reached the highest pro fessional honours. Soon after you were called to the bar you afforded proofs of your proficiency, by giving to the world—along with an associate who was worthy to join you in such an undertaking, and who has long adorned the judgment -seat (Mr. Justice Patteson)—an edition of your father's works. enriching and elucidating them with annotations of the highest value. You after wards published a work of your own, upon a very im portant branch of the law, most scientifically arranged, and distinguished by such accuracy, that not only prac titioners, but judges, are ready to appeal to its autho rity. Your progress at the bar has been most creditable. Despising the arts by which some seek to force them selves into notoriety, you have only striven to qualify yourself as an advocate, and zealously and honourably to conduct the causes of the clients who have solicited your patronage. Thus you have gradually risen to be the head of your circuit, and to occupy an enviable position in Westminster Hall. For some time every man there has been of opinion that, next to him self, you were the fittest person to be raised to the bench duly estimating your integrity ; your temper, and your manners, as well as your learning and ability. On this ground you have bee n selected on the vacancy caused by the death of my lamented friend, Mr. Justice Williams. I have the means of knowing that the Lord Chancellor, the consti tutional adviser of the Crown on such an occasion, un influenced by any party or personal considerations, was only solicitous to find the man who, from his accom plishments and his character, was best qualified to per form the duties of the office, and that he acted upon the maxim, Deter digniori. lam confident, like all who hear me, that his anticipations will be fulfilled, and that here after you will be classed with Hale, and other great judges, who have reflected so much lustre on this society. I must say that we do not take leave of you with regret, since such is your destiny. I have now only, according to ancient usage, to present to you a purse containing ten guineas, as a retaining fee to plied for us during the fleeting moments that you are supposed to practise as a sergeant-at- law, and earnestly to wish that you may long, in health and happiness, enjoy the high office of a judge, to which we know you will be an ornament." The bell was then tolled, Mr. Vaughan Williams was warmly congratulated on his elevation, and the company dispersed. The Penelope steam-frigate, Captain Giffard, pro gresses slowly in her fittings for sea, owing to the diffi culty iu getting men to enter for her. First Lieutenant Hall, 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, and 14 gunners of the Royal Marine Artillery, and 1 fifer and 11 privates of the Patent Marine Corps, embarked in ber for service this morning. Notwithstanding the persevering attempts which have been made to prejudice this vessel in the eyes of naval men and the public, it is asserted by her late master, Mr. Salmond, the oldest and most expe rienced steani-master in the fleet, that there is not a more efficient steam-vessel for all purposes in the world; and, certainly, a vessel that will run upwards of 200 miles in any available weather upon 20 tons of coals, and carry her armament and stores equally well in a comfortable and serviceable state, cannot be so valueless as to be fit only for a coal depot, as has been stated. Her having been beaten in a trial of speed on , the coast of Africa by a French vessel of inferior horse power, was made to ap pear at the time more discreditable than the facts (which are in our possession) really were. The Vengeance, 84, Captain Lushington, is fitting in the Basin with much dispatch. She has topmasts fidded, has tried all her spare spars, and will cross lower yards to-morrow. She was only commissioned this day week, without even a cross tree over her lower mast-head. She has only about 100 working men; but it-will be perceived by the progress made that they, as well as their officers, acre all of the right sort. We regret to state that Captain Lushington is very unwell. The Dauntless, steam-frigate, built after the design of Mr. John Fincham, the talented master-shipwright of this dock, is cradled, and nearly ready for launching. The papers, however, which have announced her pro bable debut on or about the 9th proximo are in error, as the tides will then be n ea p e d. If s h e i s not launched ' by the sth she must wait until the 19th. The Naiad coal depot was masted yesterday. The Mercury tender returned from Sheerness last night at sunset. The Cyclops steam-frigate, Captain W. F. Lapidge, arrived yesterday morning from Southampton, whither she had towed the Ripon. The Netley tender sailed for Plymouth on Sunday evening. The Sylvia tender, Lieut. Warren, was docked on Sa turday, and undocked yesterday. The Goodwill lighter arrived yesterday with stores from Plymouth. her provisions, Captain nt Williams, irleitiaarnins'heirs or stores and coals, and to be victualled ad interim on th e dTehreed A v e nger, t o h flag-ship.—Times. NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY.--It is understood that Mr. Hudson has taken the present opportunity to make an offer to the directors to lease the line in perpetuity, a xepting it in its present condition, and to guarantee the shareholders 7i per cent.

FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE RIVER —Tuesday an an inquisition was taken before Mr. William Baker, Co roner, at the Waterman's Arms, Ferry-road, Poplar, on the body of Benjamin Naylor, a carpenter, aged fifty six years. It appeared from the evidence that the de ceased resided in the above house, and was a single man. On Sunday night last he and a man named Francis Ray, mate of a sailing barge called the Wheatsheaf, were drinking in the Anchor and Hope publie-heuse, in the Ferry-road. Ray was the worse for liquor, and the de ceased endeavoured to persuade him to go on board his vessel, which was lying in the river off Millwall. The deceased left Ray in the public-house for the purpose of hailing the Wheatsheaf for a boat, and it is supposed he got too near the edge of the wharf and fell between the lighter moored off Hanimond's Wharf and the shore. He remained jammed in this place until the tide flowed, and was drowned. His body was found on the following day near the same spot. The jury returned a verdict of "Found drowned." TERRIBLE A C CIDENT AT lIOXTON.—TWO LIVES Losr.—On Tuesday afternoon a most lamentable cccur rence, by which two poor men lost their lives, took place in Britannia-row, immediately opposite the Hoxtoa New Church, and but a few houses distant from the police-station of the N division. Four houses had lately been pulled down, and the materials cleared away, and preparations were making for the erection of houses of a superior class upon the site, for the foundations of which the ground had been dug to a considerable depth, and labourers were employed in excavating under the street for the formation of cellars, when about one o'clock yesterday afternoon the whole mass of earth fell in upon those who were so employed. Several men narrowly escaped destruction, but two labouring men were completely buried. This having been ascertained, a number of labourers were immediately set to dig them out, a work of great difficulty, in consequence of the tough clayey nature of th e so il , and after nearly three hours labour, one of the poor fellows was got out, but apparently . lifeless. The body w as , h owever, conveyed to the neighbouring police - station in Robe r t- s t reet, where every preparation had already been made, and under the direction of Mr. Coward, the police surgeon, assisted .by many other profe ss i ona l gentlemen, various means for restering animation were tried, but unhappily without effect. The deceased, who se name was James Haynes , has left a widow and f our c hi ldren destitute. At six o'clock last night his fellow-suff erer, named Wil liam Lockhart, 11145 dug out quite dead. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND. Y_RK, TUESDAY.—_ A special general meeting *as held yesterday, at the De Grey Rooms. The meeting was very numerously attended, there being net less than 500 shareholders present. Mr. litansoar, M.P., presided, and said The object of the first resolution was this : we issued a certein quantity of shires in contemplation of obtaining an Act, but in applying for that Act, instead of depositing the money we did so on a declaration, and therefore by adopting this resolution you will only be confirming % hat you have already done. The second resolution, I think. explains itself ; the object of it is to provide for a mil lion of money, which we shall have to pay for the Hull and Selby line in 1850. By that means we shall take certain shares at such prices as the directors shall think proper out of the market, and thereby prevent the ne- - cessity of calling upon you to pay a million of money in one day. The remaining part of the resolution, or rather series of resolutions, provides for the debt of the company, 500,0001. or 600,0001., by making it capital in. Northit n e o e r r e e a eb3, Midland d e d t e h laa e pni d dt c r l s a; c p ti tt • ar will - vh c ee o n n t h i e n u e e d d t e h d e 1850, when th e p os i t i on of the company will be such as t e o liv th id e e Y nd or o k n an a t n l guarantee not less than 6 per cent. ; if we are enabled to pay more you are en titled to it, but we shall not give less. Of course there would be a natural anxiety among the shareholders to know, after this increase of capital, what will be the total amount of the capital , of the company. I have stated at different times the total length of miles possessed by this company, but I Will restate that, as it may not be in the recollection of every shareholder whom I have the honour of addressing. I will shortly state our position, and then you will be able to judge of our future prospects. Including that capital, which the directors anticipate will be authorised to-day, the total amount of capital will be 4,721,2501, and the total length of railway under your management will be 306, the average cost per mile being 15,400/. The length of railway at present in working operation is 165 mile& which includes thirty miles of the Hull and Burlington line, and also the six miles of the Filey branch. Still I should mention, that although these two branches have been opened, they have not been as yet used for merchandise traffic, to any great extent so far, and therefore we may consider them not completely opened. On the Ist of July in the next year the amount of the number of miles will be incrsased by nearly 100; that is, we shall have 97f miles to open on or before that period, which will materially add to our revenue, and most materially extend the company's powers and our means of paying you your dividends. The directors think that in all probability the Leeds and Selby shares will be called up in the course of that time, viz., before July next, together with 51, upon the extension shares, and a certain sum on the East and West Ridings. We propose that the whole of the stock, after the Ist of July, whatever may be the sum oiled up, shall receive dividend alike. We hope that that dividend will be ten per ce nt. — (Applause.) I don't feel any doubt myself—l would tell you if I did— that it will be in' the power of the company, when all the money is capitalised and called up in 1850, to pay the dividend which you now receive upon the York and North Midland shares. I have no doubt whatever that on the money called up before the Ist of July next you will receive in the following half-year ten per cent. dividend. ' I feel no difficulty or hesitation in telling you that the York and North Midland proprietors are richly entitled to receive that dividend. We made rail ways when no one else would embark in them. We em barked our money in the Scarborough line, when almost every person thought it would be an unprofitable under takinse—an undertaking which has been described by one who claims some eminence in railway matters, as a line totally destitute of traffic, merely running to a small fishing village in Yorkshire, and constructed by the sur plus capital of the company. I need not say to you that the Scarborough is one of the best paying lines in the kingdom.—(Applause.) But then you made it at a time when no person was making railways, when all hands were tied up, and when the country at large seemed totally disinclined to embark its capital in these under takings. The consequence was, you made that line when labour was cheap, and you bought your iron at some thing like five guineas per ton ; nevertheless, it ought not to be thought unfair that you should reap the reward of the enterprise and courage with which you undertook that work at that time. I state these facts, because I think they cannot be • too often put in print, or placed before the pUblie.—((lear, hear.) There was a time when these undertakings were great specu lations, and if, by your enterprise, and by the confi dence which you have reposed in the board over which I have the honour to preside, you have been induced to embark your capital, I think no person ought to find fault with your receiving from the capital the reward which I have always thought was the great principle of commercial enterprise.—(Applause.) But whilst you have received an adequate remuneration for your ca .ft-il'aimeurm"-ilot::•Efier things we have given ca pital, we have given ine r .....d ..• • t ( :• u a r in t s ;afi b i u (,, t i b n e3 e ro ve n r d y vy w h a tt y; :. x s i r s i t g ed ar le dS st th y e ea m r to the public, at all the principal stations, an opportunity of taking day tickets, which of course has affected our reventae to a certain extent, yet the public have de rived great advantages, and Ido not think it improbable that along with the 10 per cent, which you receive, the public will ere long receive a further considerable re duction of fares on the York and North Midl end line. I 4M sanguine enough to believe that the traffic will so in crease by the opening out of a large extent of country, that whilst we shall be enabled to pay you 10 par cent. upon the capital which has been employed in the con struction of the branch lines, the public will receive that which we are pledged, but not bound by law, to give th e m. As an old company we are not bound by law; I say that we are pledged, and it is my anxious desire, as it ever has been, that while you as shareholders receive that dividend, which the Legislature and any reasonable man does not think an unreasonable dividend upon a speculation of this kind, the public should also be benefited. I may mention that it is the intention of the board at the next half yearly meeting to propo se to consolidate the stock of the company, so that any one may buy stock instead of shares. The adoption of that plan by the Midland Company has been found to be productive of great faci lity, and I think it would be to the interest of this corn• pany to do the same. Our applications to Parliament in the next session will be very limited. There will be one to improve our terminus at Harrowgate, and arrange ments have already been made of a satisfactory nature, which will enable us to have an excellent terminus op posite the Brunswick Hotel, which, as any ons acquainted with the place will know, is one of the best localities in Harrowgate. We shall also have to apply for a Bill to enable us to erect a new station at Hull, an eligible site for which, and one which has been approved of by the whole town, has been selected. Every one in the habit of visiting that town will be aware of the inconvenient and bad arrangement of the present building ; besides, we want the present building, and more if we could have it, for our goods traffic, which has so increased, and will still further increase, that if we could obtain additional room, it would be advisable for us to do so.—(Great applause.) There will be one other Bill. You will re member we subscribed a certain sum to the Ax holme line, from Gainsborough to Goole, and we in tend to apply for that Bill aga i n . the West of W obtained l theseit d l a a s tl t i sessionnaells e v ents which but :for the defective which the levels h a d b een taken.

We shall, therefore, a ga i n app l y f or t h at Bil l, as the York and N or th Midl and Company have a larger amount of sto c k i n t h e.undertaking than we had before, on account of th e ret i rement of some of the shareholders. There are, however, some of the local proprietors who still hold their inter es t i n t h e line, and they are to re ceive 4i per cent., with h a lf t h e profits. With these' exceptions lam happy to say w e s h a l l not h ave any ap plications to Parliament during th e next sess i on .

The calldi rectors CHAIRMAN—We a rsatisfiedcalledupwill,July, followin g, that they can do thi s without a doubt. I would not have told yo u if we had not been without doubt or hesitation on th e sub ject.—(Applause.) Mr. LOVE—WiII the old Selby shares be called up before the Ist of July n ext year? The CHantatize—Certainly; but it may be in Ja nuary, as we want to get the stock consolid ated. As long as we could borrow money at 3i per cent., it was advisable to d o so; but when we come to be asked 4 per cent., or a little more, then it ceases to be advantageous to us to have that borrowed money, and hence the ne cessity for a call upon the shareholders. These shares, I think, ought to stand as well, if not better, in the mar ket, than the old York and North Midland, and probably it has been an injury to them that the money has not been called up. The holder of these shares you see gets 6 per cent. upon th a t which he has never paid up. and this is one of the things which it is thought by.. par. Raiment is not placed on proper footing, and perhaps it may be so. c Mr. MOOR, of Hull—Have the Manchester and Leeds Company decided whether they will participate in the purchase of the Hull and Selby line , and doer; the new contemplate the provision stock now spoken of . o f the whole or only half of t h e ca pital requir e d f or that pur chase? _ . The CHAIRMAN—One - half at present, and if more should be fou n d ne cessary we must have another meet ing. The Manchester and Leeds directors have had a meeting, and I think arrangements will be made very satisfactory to both companies. It gives me great plea sure to say so. There was not a dissentient voice, all were agreed, and I hope that the result will be the means of immediately uniting two powerful companies together. I am, and always have been, anxious to cultivate the YORK AND NEWCASTLE. A special meeting of the proprietors of this company was held shortly after. Mr. HUDSON again presided, and there was a very full attendance of shareholders. The CHAIRMAN then said—With reference to the first resolution, it is similar to the York case. The authority to create the capital to which it has reference was ap plied for in the House of Commons under a declaration ; by this meats we saved the necessity of making a deposit ; and this resolution is merely to confirm what you have already done. The second resolution, and the succeeding ones, provide for the purchase of the Great North of England Railway and its works, by the creation of 159,000 shares of 251. each, on the terms therein con tained, that purchase having to be completed by the year 1850. Gentlemen, the last time I had the pleasure of meeting you, I had the satisfaction of informing you that the Great North of England Railway was no longer a losing concern to us, but that it was payi ng it se lf an d something more • and I have no doubt th a t w h en t h e Newcastle and Berwick Railway is opened it will add materially to its receipts on the York and Newcastle line ; and in 1850 I hopej.o be able to pay you the same dividend on the entire capital as you are receiving at present. When all our works are completed and opened to the public, we shall have 225 miles of railway at a cost per mile 0f.29,466L Therefore this reduces the large price which we have to pay for the Great North of England f and; taking the whole together, it does not make what we, in railway language, con sider a very heavy average. The Midlands cost a much larger sum, and the Manchester and Leeds averaged about 60,000/. a mile. We shall have 225 miles of rail way at an average of less than 30,0001. a mile. By spreading over a large extent of railway the average cost this it principle,ha b en constructed. have su suggested sNteodw, overin per mile is thereby reduced, and we all well know that the great security to railway property consists in the shouldsal united w e e d n a l prc overouct n. then application nwt tt again,iict oh which e t b i weat d hacb . rai reflection, o dni. a hteehs n ere d woafni e cweakic e istc r de y sioenit t to include in the average, and an arrangement wk;o1, the Newcastle and Berwick liament for an exten sion and - I think prat, aian _fiftytpiles of branch rail ways, tageous to the Newcastle and Berwick Übmpaiii.--- (Applame.) If this is accomplished, and the two com panies become united, we should have 370 miles of rail way. I have made an estimate, along with Mr. H. Wood, who has a local knowledge of the county, that these fifty miles of, branch railway can be constructed for 10,0001. a mile, being through mis h o e s i pli a n i oaasgnnul is y r or l n e .af i li h w f w,l a av w a v iryie e e -1 a cheap, easy, and economical ' country. The capital of the York and Newcastle Company, including the purchase of the Great North of England Rail way, will amount to 6,625,0001. If you amalgamate the two concerns—which I hope you will do—you will have a capital of 8,825,000/., and a length of 375 miles of railways, at an average cost of 23,8001. per mile. This reduces the average very materially, and you will have 375 miles of the best lines in England.—(Applause.) Although this is not a Newcastle and Berwick meeting, still I think it may be interesting for you to know the probable position of that company. Last week I had the satisfaction of riding on the whole length of the Newcastle and Berwick Railway, when I examined every contract, and saw the position of the whole works, and I will pledge you this—that no bridge built on the line will give way. whatever may be the floods: which they may encounter.—(Applause.) I never saw more substantial works in my life, and no person who takes an interest in works of this character can fail to be ex tremely gratified, at the substantial and handsome man ner in which they have been executed. Gentlemen, I have no doubt that the Newcastle and Berwick Railway will be opened by the month of February next. You are also aware that the contractors are proceeding very rapidly with the high level bridge at Newcastle. Nearly the whole of the property required for the approaches has been purchased, and a large quantity of it paid for. The houses are being pulled down, the arches are being built on the land side, and the works are proceeding most rapidly on the river. We have got Nasmyth's steam pile driver, which drives piles with the most won derful facility. No doubt the bridge will be completed in less time than was originally anticipated, and you may rely upon it that everything which exertion can do to push on the works will be carried out with the utmost vigour possible.—(Loud applause.) I know that some parties have an objection to. the two companies being amalgamated; but I think it would be a great improve ment if all the lines were amalgamated to Edinburgh.— (Renewed applause.) You see what has been done by the amalgamation of the Newcastle and Darlington, and the Great North of England Railways. lam sure that my sanguine friend (Mr. Oxley) never anticipated that before the opening of the Newcastle and Berwick Rail way we should ; be able to pay them 10 per cent. divi dend, without loss to ourselves. When a series of lines are in the hands of one company it is extraordinary what an increase of traffic takes place, and great facilities are thereby derived for the transit of both passengers and merchandise. I have no doubt that the receipts of the Newcastle and Darlington line, by having possession of the Great North of England Railway, have been in creased in a large measure, and if we could arrange by any means to bring the whole of the lines under one en tire management and control, I believe it would be a vast advantage to the public on this side the island.— (Cheers.) If any persons had any doubt as to the pro priety of an amalgamation between the York and New castle and the Newcastle and Berwick, I think they can have no doubt now, after the bonus which the York and Newcastle shareholders have received in the increase of their capital. I think it is only fair to state, that if they are united, the capital for the entire construction of the main line, and branches of the Newcastle and Berwick Railway should be raised by the shareholders of that company.--(Hear, hear.) I consider that they will be entitled to the issue of the requisite additional stock themselves; it is their right and proper property, and therefore, if the amalgamation should take place, it will do so under the reservation that the Newcastle and Ber wick shall complete their line and branches, and shall be entitled to such new shares as will be requisite for the completion of the works.(Applause.) I have not the least doubt—l firmly believe that the Berwick line will be as productive as any part of our line. I have seen the country, and I never felt more sanguine as to the traffic to be derived. I have no doubt that, among other things, we shall supply the whole district in with coke; we shall do an immense trade in coal and coke. In that opinion I am corroborated by my friend Mr. Wood. Mr. NICHOLAS WOOD, of Newcastle—l am quite sure of it. I Weight of Tube. The CHAIRMAN—Then on the Newcastle and Berwick line there is the best engine coal in the world, and the whole district abounds in minerals. The district is one also rich in agricultural produce, as the stock-yards abun dantly testify : it is perfectly delightful to behold them. The great weight of this produce is taken to Newcasle, principally in carts. By this description of conveyance large quantities of produce are taken from as far as Alnwick to Newcastle, a distance of 35 milcs. This produce will come as a matter of course on to the Ber• wick Railway. There are ten or twelve coaches run ning between Newcastle and Berwick, and they are full of passengers every day. When at Alnwick I was in formed by a gentleman that a friend of his sat up one night for three coaches, but every one of them was full, and that has constantly been the case.—(Applause.) Then, looking to the cost of this line, the main line will cost something like 17,0001. per mile ; but, including the proposed branches, the cost will be under 15,600/. per mile. To my mind there never was a clearer case made out wherein an arrangement such as I have suggested, lb. oz. 47 10 45 15 59 0 64 4 43 141 63 8 82 0 91 1 YORK, TUESDAY, OCT. 27.—Yesterday afternoon a numerous and influential meeting of shareholders in the North British Railway took place at the White Horse Hotel, in this city, to take into consideration the best clurse to be pursued at the general meeting, which is to be held at Edinburgh on the3oth inst. • Mr. Thomas Price was called upon to preside. Mr. H. WATSON, of York, said that the simple point at issue that day was as to how the shareholders would vote at the approaching meeting -at Edinburgh. He thought it desirable that a committee should be formed, and that such committee should form a deputation to wait upon Mr. Hudson, the chairman of the York and Newcastle Company, to ascertain from that gentleman whether he was willing to take the North British line under his management and control, and whether an amalgamation with the Edinburgh and Perth project would forward the interests of the shareholders of this company. Mr. gurr read letters from Mr. John Learmonth and two others from Edinburgh, to the effect that it would be desirable to amalgamate the North British Railway with the Edinburgh and Perth. A conversation of a desultory nature ensued, and it was ultimately resolved that a deputation should wait upon Mr. Iludson, to ascertain if he was willing to take the management of the North British line, upon fair and equitable terms. The committee having been named, they immediately left the room, and waited on Mr. Hudson, who received them in the most courteous manner, and expressed his willingness to meet the views of the North British Company, and to accept the ma nagement of the line upon fair and equitable terms. This announcement was received with an expression of gene ral approbation. On the suggestion of the CHAIRMAN, a memorial was then drawn up, requesting the directors to adjourn the meeting of the 30th instant for a fortnight, so that steps might be taken to obtain the signatures of shareholders resident in other towns. THE GREAT WESTERN.—The directors have deter mined strictly to enforce their by-laws, particularly with respect to smoking at the stations and in the carriages, a clause therein imposing a penaltyof 403. upon offenders. THE MENAI TUBULAR BRIDGE.—STRENGTH OF TUBES.—Mr. W. Fairbairn and Mr. E. Hodgkinson have both been engaged in extensive and independent sets of experiments, to ascertain the best form to give to the beams to be employed in the construction of the tu bular bridge by which the Chester and Holyhead Rail way is to be carried over the Menai Straits. Mr. Fairbairn's experiments may be said to have only esta blished this general fact—that hollow beams of wrought iron are about three times stronger than solid beams of the same form. Mr. Hodgkinson's experiments had for their special object to ascertain what sort of hollow beam is the best—oblong, or square, or cylindrical. From the results which are shown in the following table, it will be seen that the cylindrical are (as might have been, and was, in fact, anticipated by Mr. Hodg kinson) the strongest of all, and the square next in degree.
