After an adjournment of a month, the coroner and jury empanelled to investigate the circumstances at tendant upon the accident which occurred near this place on the sth ultimo, re-assembled yesterday at the National School-room of the village of Cranbery, for the purpose of further pursuing the inquiry. The chain of evidence was taken up with the testi mony of Price, the fireman, who, it may b e remem bered, was compelled to withdraw ab rup tl y o n the previous occasion by failure of strength. I n a ddition to his former evidence he deposed as follows'—He saw the Velocipede engine just stopped at the points. We were then hardly so much as half a m il e from her. The deceased shut off his steam a n d r e versed his engine as soon as he got through the bridge. We were then going at full 40 miles an hour. The brake of the tender was applied, and the deceased blew his whistle to warn the guards to do the same. We ran some distanc e before the speed .of th e tra i n was checked on account of the dampness of the rails from previous rains which had fallen. The road from the bridge to the Sta n d on coal-yard points is down an incline of 1 in 330 I believe. The deceased did not speak to me aft er we came uncle) the bridge. We continued running with the steam turned off and the engine reversed until the collision took place. The edge of the tender to the Velocipede engine was clear of the up rails all but half a yard. The engine itself was across the rails. I think we struck her about the foot-plate. Before the accident we saw two lots of plate-layers on the line. The lot This was fullnear t I - bridge e s t e t - o g n u - a b r r t i e d r g s e o g f a v a e m u s d e t hhee before e d flag, We came i n s i g hr of the pilot engine. The deceased t oo k no notice of sa this signal, pilot and before t b did re not him a reverie tt le th e engine u n til h e w the coal . yard points. I am sure the deceased saw this signal. I remarked to him when I saw it that the driver of the pilot was probably going to cross at the coal-yard. He replied, " Not he," and ran on at the same speed. I had put the brake on when I saw the plate-lay ers ' red flag. orstea m but he was an o b- He mi g h t h ave The deceased told me to take it off, b ut I did not do so, and brought the h eput on m train to astandstill, a stinate man. He would sometimes go a whole trip without speaking a word to me. At another time he would be very civil, and would appear as if he could do hardly enough for me. By the CORONER—I have known him during five years in the service of the company, and during that time I never knew any charge brought against the deceased for careless or reckless driving, John Grace called, said he was an engine driver in the service of the London and N o rth-Western Rail way, and had been in the same employ during fifteen years. He had been driver of a bank engine five years, and had had charge of the Velocipede about six months. Witness knew the deceased, Thomas Reynolds, and was on very good terms with him. He saw him at Crewe on the day the collision occurred. There was a distinct understanding that witness was to cross at Whitmore. Within a few yards of the spot where they always hooked off, the deceased blew his whistle once, and made the usual sign with his hands for witness to hook off and cross. Witness re plied by holding up one hand, which is understood among the drivers to mean "come carefully," and then detaching his engine, proceeded on towards Whitmore. It was always usual to cross at Whit more when they got well up the bank, but if they did not get on so well the bank engine ran on to Stafford. Witness had never crossed at any other station than Whitmore or Stafford with an express train before the day on which the accident occurred. CORONEn—Why, then, did you cross on this occa sion at the Standon coal-yard ? Witness—After I had detached the engine I ran as fast as I could—it might be 60 miles an hour. Reynolds was coming at 40 miles an hour or better. I looked round seve ral times, and fancied he was not slackening he ought to have done. I blew my whistle three or four times before entering the Whitmore station and again when I got to the station, to alarm the police man. When I got to the proper point for crossing, I station about 150 yards in our rear. speed, as saw the steam of the express engine approaching the standing on the right-hand side of the engine, and I believe I ran forward at from 80 to 90 miles an hour, as far as• the Standon coal-wharf which is about 3i or 4 miles from Whitmore. I saw two parties of plate-layers along the line. To the first party I gave very violent signals to Stop the express, lest there by sight—go towards his red flag as if t° might be anything to prevent our crossing at the coal-yard, and I saw one of them—a man I it up. I shut off the steam near know I continued pick I then and came to a stand just over the points. said to my mate, "Now, Jack, look sharp. Turn us over the points as soon as you can." I reversed the lever, and the engine returned directly. On looking back I saw the express coming very rapidly—l should say from 45 to 50 miles an hour. I continued deceased looking towards the express. I saw the standing upright on the left hand side of the e n g ine ' and the fireman at his brake. The deceased bad not looking reversed his engine at this time, but stood up at me and lat him. I believe he now Hatton -bridge, and the slipping, and he then reversed his engines The firemanh same moment dropped out of my sight. continued at his brake.

SOUTH-EASTERN AND CONTINENTAL STEAM-PACKET CO il T PANY The ordinary h a lf. yearly meetingof the p . roprietors in this compa n y was held yesterday, at the Bridge Huse Hotel, James MacGregor, the chairman of the board of directors, presiding M g .P" The SECRETARY (M r . Herbert) having read the advertisement co: veni ng th e meetinfe s t eal of the company was affixed to th e register 'Of the sha.eaol ders. The report of the dire c t ors , w hi ch appeared in Vie Sun of yesterday, was taken us read. The CHAIRMAN then rose and said—G en tlemen'— The report which the direct ors h ave h ad the honourf to place in your hands contai ns a s h ort hi story South-Eastern and Continental Steam-Packet o t the Com pany since its formation, and I must b eg you to bear t with me whilst I recapitulate a sum mary of that history. The original cost of the eight steam-ships belonging to the company has been shown to be 114,593/. Gs. Gd., the share capital of the company, 111,2201., and the capital paid up 109,3981. It follows that of the original cost of the steam-ships 5,1901. 63. Gd. has been paid out of the profits, and besides this a sum of 42,4171. sa. 11d. has been laid out during the last eight years upon these ships, also out of the profits, in repairs and in im provements. I wish that there should be no mis - take as to our distinct expression on the subject of improvements to the steam-ships, for these have combined much more than can be included under the head of repairs. They have included the supplying three of the steam-ships with iron instead of wooden kelsons, and with wrought iron instead of cast iron entablatures, and also improved cast iron entabla tures in four of the ships, and in material and expen sive improvements both of the machinery and boilers. The boilers of these vessels originally had all iron tubes, and there are now remaining only three to which boilers with brass tubes have not been supplied. Six of the steam-ships have been adapted for carry ing goods, and it is right to mention that the speed of the vessels has not been lessened in consequence of carrying cargo. The gross earnings of the company from its establishmert to the 31st July last, have been 229,4981. 143. 6d. ; of this sum 211,589/. 2s. sd. has been derived from the traffic and interest, and 17,902/. 12s. ld. in direct contributions from the South-Eastern Railway, the Northern of France Railway, and the Boulogne and Amiens Railway, in order to maintain for their interest a regular service not remunerative in itself to the Steam- Packet Company. During the seven years that have pa ssed, if you are pleased to adopt our report, and to divide at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum for the last half-year, as we have suggested to you, a sum of 43,5301.93. 103. will have been distributed amongst us as dividend, and paid in income-tax thereon, 144,207/. 12s. 3d. represents the gross expenses, and 41,700/. 12s. sd. the reserve made; and the result of our affairs, as pointed out in the report is, th a t we hold the steamships, that we are out of debt, and that we have surplus property on hand amounting to 22,989/. 33. 4d. The directors have purchased, under the authority contained in the deed of settlement, on account of the reserve fund, 20,000/. of the 4k per cent. guaranteed stock of the South-Eastern Railway Company. No credit appears in the accounts of the last half-year for interest on this investment, the half yearly dividend received thereon having been paid after the closing of the half-year. The sum of 436/. 17s. 6d. was received on this account on the 14th of August, and will appear as an addition to the reserve fund, in accordance with the terms of the deed of settlement in the next half-yearly accounts. The value of this investment is now 2,0001. greater than it was when made. Gentlemen, I will not occupy your time with any minute analysis of the expenses of conducting the service, because it will be obvious to you that our management has been made subservient in every way to the views and great interests of the South• Eastern Railway. We were called into existence only because the South-Eastern Railway Company could not legally perform those functions which have devolved upon us, and, in making the passages between the south eastern ports and those of the Continent, at an ave rage speed of fifteen miles per hour, it is necessary to maintain our boats in a state of the highest effi• ciency, and to look rather to the result of that efficiency, upon the perfection and success attending the system of communication with which we are identified, than the economy arrived at on each voyage. I ough to mention, gentleman, that a diminution of working expenses could be brought about to an ex tent of not less than one-third, if, instead of working our steam-ships at the rate of fifteen miles an hour, we were to reduce that speed to twelve miles an hour, but it is the object and intention of the South- Eastern Railway that the passage between Folkestone and Boulogne, and Dover and Calais, which is in fact the prolongation of the South-Eastern Railway to the French ports, should be accomplished with punctuality and with the greatest speed which is con sistent with safety. The average time in which the passages of the steam-ships have been made during the last half-year between Folkestone and Boulogne, and Dover and Calais, has been one hour fifty-seven minutes. The invitation from the South-Eastern Railway, on which we became proprietors in this company, assured us that we should receive a net return of five per cent. per annum on the paid up capital of thissompany; and it was also stated that the dividends should be always five per cent. per an num, with the contingency of any increase that might happen, that increase being subject to the dis cretion of the governing boards, the directors of the two companies being the same. These were the in ducements held out to us. You will observe, gentle men, that the actual rate of dividend which we have received from first to last has averaged 51. 17s. Id. per cent. per annum ; and you will observe too (and we beg to call your particular attention to the fact), that more than a third of that dividend has been made up by contributions from the railway com panies whose interest we have been subsevient to 'Gentlemen, as trustees for the two companies, we have endeavoured to act in a manner becoming the confidence that has been reposed in us by both pro prietaries, and that confidence could not have been better evidenced than by the adoption on every occa sion by the South-Eastern Railway Company of our recommendations of the support which you have pe riodically required from them, as well as by your own assent to those recommendations. The situation of this company is certainly an anomalous one. We have not the means, under our deed of settlement, of turning our property to any account which might appear at the moment to be most advantageous. We are restricted exclusively to carrying on the communication from the South- Eastern to the continental ports, and yet we have no other than a moral guarantee for securing to us a fixed return for our services. The circular which in vited us to become proprietors, and on which we ad vanced our capital prior to any deed of settlement being prepared by us or exhibited to you, is proof enough that the proprietors of the South-Eastern Railway would have entered into a legal guarantee if such could have been given. There is no legal method of putting the relations of the two companies on a permanent basis, except by an application to Parliament. The directors do not intend to submit to you to-day any terms to be proposed between the two companies. The time has, however, come at which it is the duty of the directors, as your trustees, to call your attention to the circumstances in which the two companies are placed. It has been clear from the first that there might at any time arise a conflict of interests, however advantageous to the rail way company the services of this company might be. Taking all circumstances into consideration, we recommend that you appoint a committee of pro prietors, as has been done by the railway company, to be associated with us in an endeavour to arrange proposals likely to meet with general approbation, to place our relations with the South-Eastern Company upon a solid and permanent basis, to be sanctioned by the authority of an Act of Parliament, when confirmed by you and the rail way company at a subsequent meeting. It would be improper to conclude my address without expressing the sense of satisfaction which the directors entertain with the universal good conduct of the officers con nected with the service, and referring also to the approbation with which the service is regarded by the public. Gentlemen, I have the honour to move that the report of the directors, as now presented to th is meeting, be approved and adopted. Mr. RENIHAW seconded the motion. I h ie Mr. HAMILTON rose to move an araendment. objected to the appropriation of the revenue of the company to the remuneration of the directors. os l o f they had already voted a certain sum for that they had the power of altering that it appeared unreasonable, arrangement, es ptuhrepadnid rectors were for the services rSendaealrePdlYbpyaithem to the railway company, which the steam-packet company was especially constituted to benefit, that they should take a f ur th er remune ration from the latter company. The Chairman had described the packet company as in the nat ure o f an extension to the railway,, but he would ask whether any o ne ever heard of directors seeking extra salary for an extension ? He trusted, therefore, that the directors would decline to receive the amount, and would permit the sum to be applied to a reserve fund or to supply any deficit which might arise under the proposed arrangement upon the ori ginal capital of 100,0001. He concluded by m e i n ,. ►that so much of the revenue of the company us wa's charged with the salary of the directors and secretary of the company be added to the revenue. • The amendment not being seconded fell to the ground. Mr. WRIGHT said that the directors had worked a long time for nothing, and the proprietors afterwards very properly voted them, by a unanimous resolution, the allowance which they now received for their ser vices. He considered their divide n d very l ow com pared with those of other steam compa n i es , and he did not think that they should be bound hand an d foot to the South-Eastern Railway Company. At th e same time, when they came to negotiate terms with th e railway company, they had their boats—on w hi c h a great deal of money had been spent out of revenue, and which were now, no doubt, worth as much as they ever were—to offer to that company ; and, more over, they also had the moral guarantee of the South• Eastern Railway Company in their favour; end what was it but tl t a h a e t i g r r p e r a o t p c e o r m ty pny's strict fidelity to its . engagements which enabled it to borrow money in the market at three per cent.? would be m were ; but, looking e l. Lord TORRINGTON said that, as a shareholder, he felt highl y and with their management of the company's affairs. He thought s u a e t h isfi h e e d tte wit'e for the th r e e m por t t o o r i ni th a e in dir it e s c t t h o e r y s, was decidedly a very valu able one, and at the first blush he had felt that it with the directors to • h might er ct ad the differences wine arise at any future received but , the result might he such as to prove unsatisfactoryp l e ehoea that that a t h t parties,their bl el pi believed voa property r , tt t yh h a e at r n e d f t therefore, if five gentlemen from ego b t e iate with the terests would be fairly protected.e.r would possess a guarantee Steam-Packet South- Eastern Railway Company, Mr. POLLARD considere a small portion of the profit. Their interests ctohmaptantyhewere associated Company had had to run ell the risk, sa crificed for the railway, or they might reecsets* were cent. instead of 5. They were not in a position 10 per which any company ought to occupy, because the n not have the independent management of the y ir could ')." business. H were fully considered, ther e f ore , th a t t h ey ere fully entitled to liberal terms from the South-Eastern Railway Company. The CHAIRMAN, in reply, said that the main point touched upon in the discussion was, the moral guaran tee which they possessed in their relation to the South- Eastern Railway Company ; on that head he entirely agreed with the remarks of the Noble Lord, of Mr. Wright, and also of the gentleman who had just sat down. He believed that in the relations of life they could have no hold better than a moral guarantee. It was true the South-Eastern Railway Company had a large interest in that company, and if the railway company could have had the necessary legal powers,no doubt they never would have bed another company to serve them, but would have subscribed their 114,0001. and had their own boats managed by their own agents. But, that being impossible, the Steam packet Company was formed to suhserve the inte rests of the railway, and the lure the railway com pany held out to the steam-packet proprietors was , this five per cent. This was not only stated in the South-Eastern Railway C om pa n y' s c i rcu l ar , b u t M r . Parry Richards, the then chairman of the Souta- Eastern Railway Company, also stated that they should receive five per cent,, with such further addi tions as could be made, subject to the discretion of the governing body. It was on the faith of that cir cular and that verbal assurance that the money was brought forward ; and he had not the slightest doubt that, with the assistance of a committee of five share holders, the directors could confer with a similar body on the side of the railway company, and agree to such an adjustment of interests as would be equally satis factory to both companies. The south-Eastern Rail way had embarked ten millions on their lines, and there was 111,0001. invested in that company. It was true that company had not the management of its own affairs, because the agreement was that the boats should run between the south-eastern ports and the Continent, and that if any proprietor held 500 shares in that company be should only have one vote, but if he had 500 shares in the railway he should have 500 votes. Certainly, therefore, the deed bound that company hand and foot as a useful instrument in the hands of the railway ; and therefore he hoped, now that there were among them those who were fully conversant with all the details connected with the ori ginal history of the company, that they would be able to come to some arrangement that would place its relations with the South-Eastern Bailway on a just, secure, and permanent footing. He believed that their affairs might become even more prosperous than they were now. They bad applied for the Post-office service, and as the Government had recommended that it should all be done by contract, that corn • pany was in a very advantageous position to carry out such a contract, from the number of boats which they had at their disposal. With regard to the re muneration to the directors, that had been unani mously voted in 1851, by a meeting of proprietors; but the measures which the directors now recommend for consolidation of the two companies' interests, would most effectually put an end to that vote. The only desire of the directors was to perform, in an honour able and manly way, their duty as trustees. No diffi culty had arisen hitherto between the two companies, but, looking to the complicated nature of their deed and-of their relations with the South-Eastern Rail way Company, they could not shut their eyes to the fact that differences might occur at some future day; and hence their anxiety to close a well-considered arrangement in time between both companies that would preclude any eventualities of that nature. The motion for adopting the report was then unanimously carried, and formal resolutions were passed, declaring a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, in conformity with the directors' recom mendation, and ordering the balance in hand to be added to the reserve fund. A committee wa s nex t appointed, consisting of Lord Torrington, Messrs. Edward Harding, Richard Hetley, Saunders, and Pollard, to be associated with the directors for the purpose of negotiating the terms of the proposed consolidation ' • and thanks having been voted to the ch a ir m an and directors, and briefly acknowledged by Mr. MacGregor, the proceedings terminated.

The lists of the Livery and househoulders having been delivered in the revision of the lists of the Livery, were proceeded with. The first lint of the Livery taken was the Ar mourers' Company, which being called on, Mr. Aclend rose, and took an objection to the name of Mr. George Barnstock, for an improper description of the residence. Mr. Smith and Mr. Brown then took a formal ob jection to the reception of the notice which had been served by Mr. Acland, on the ground that the docu ment which had passed through the Post-office, .did not bear the address of the party for whom it was in tended on the outside as well as in the body of the notice. As the same objection would apply to all the rest of th e no ti ces t h a t h a d been issued, amounting to upwards of 400, th ey h a d taken this objection in liminc r to th e i r recept i on . The REVISING BARRISTER declared that the law bad not been complied with, and consequently the whole of the objections of Mr. Acland fell to the ground. Animportant question was raised, which decided many others. O n an o bj ection ta k en t o th e n ame of Mr. Thomas Jones M a we, o f N ew Bridge-street, solicitor, being des cr ib e d as o f that p l ace , i ns t ea d of Carlton Villas, his actual residence, the learned bar rister held the description t o b e su ffi c i en t, h e b e ing liveryman resident within seven m il es o f L on don. The Act of Parliament did n o t r equ i re t h e exac t resi dence at the time of the nam e b e i ng p l ace d on th e i register to be stated, t only applying to occupiers and householders. Mr. Acland appeared in support of th e o bj ec ti on , and Mr. Brown against it. The vote was allowed. A long discussion ensued on the question of costs, which, on the authority several decisions, was refused. barrister FINSBURY. Yesterday Thomas Fraser Uacqueen, Esq., the for his house accordin g held his court for that in thB Lords Justices' purpose Court, Lincoln's Inn. Tan liousn-T zi .

The rate t at wa s reduced to 2..1. which he could not apply for it, and the paid by the 20th of July, but thee should have been against the rating, and ) of collector did not have his book before the mid dle March, before C° ners did not reduce the assessment, s o th at the lniniQsic colleotor could not apply for the rate until after the 20th of July, when it ought to have been paid. Mr. Huggett, who was in court, suggested to the Learned Barrister that he should give no decision ‘9n this most important question until he had heard no less than 300 cases in another place, where strong er facts might appear. The BARRISTER said he was disposed to do so. The difficulty in this case was as to the wording of the Act, which said the rates " payable" of the sth of January. Now, could Mr. Fish have paid the rate on the sth of January if he had chosen ? The Collector said—Certainly not ; for he bad then no warrant to receive it, and could not have given a receipt. The REVISING BARRISTER must, then, consider what was the meaning of the word " payable." Mr. Huggett, as anzicus curia, submitted that the definition of Dr. Johnson was, that " payable" was " such as those who had power to pay." Here the person had clearly no power to pay, for there was no one to take the money. The Collector, in answer to a question from the Barrister, said the rate was paid immediately after the decision of the Commissioners ; but that was not until about the 23d of July. The Learned BARRISTER remarked that the clues. tion was such an important and novel one that he should defer his decision. The whole of the lists having been disposed of, with this single exception, the Court adjourned to a future day, when the decision will be given. NATIONAL DRAWING SCHOOLS.
