tirti 1Z ittOtt+ SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. FRANCE. The indisposition under which the Prince-President suffers is described to be acute rheumatism in the legs. Regarding the election of General Cavaignac, the Siecle, which is supposed to be the organ of this il lustrious person, complains of the following insulting paragraph, which appears in the Public : "It is affirmed that General Cavaignac will only pre- Bent himself to refuse taking the oath, and to protest against the constitution. Let him try it, then. Let him, if he will, descend from the rank of deputy, to take the part of an insurgent, and chastisement will not long be delayed. A Government sprung from universal suf frage does not submit to rebellion, but it puts it down. It cannot suffer rebels, but strikes them. " Signed " AMEDEE DE CESENA." To menace a man with chastisement who saved his country, observes the Siecle, goes beyond imagination. It is quite enough to quote such language to leave the Tiublic to deal with it. The Patrie also throws out a menace of a more general character:— " The only candidatures opposed to those of the Go vernment, and which have obtained a certain number of votes chiefly in Paris, are such as may be regarded as personifying the revolutionary assent. This is a grave aympton, and shows how much firmness and vigilance must still be exercised by the Government of Louis Napoleon, in order to complete his work of social pre servation." M. Bo cher ex-representative, and MM. Malzy and Dubief, clerks of M. Bidault, appeared yester day before the Tribunal of Correctional Police, to take their trial for distributing printed papers connected with the Orleans family, which did not, as required by law, bear the name of the printer. M. Hello, substitute of the Procureur of the Republic, conducted the prosecution, and M. Odilon Barrot appeared for the defence. The tribunal, after deli beration which lasted two hours and a half, gave judgment, condemning the three defendants to a fine of 5001. The court was much crowded. The Presse says : It is said that a trial will shortly come on connected with the successionof the Dukefde Bourbon. The Duke had by his will appropriated the Chateau of Ecouen, with a dotation of 100,000 f. of Bente, to the education of the descendants of the Royalit soldiers of Venda and Cone& In 1831, King :Louis Philippe, with the advice of the Council of State, issued a decree annulling the legacy of the prince, on the ground that it was destined to remunerate services rendered to an anti-national cause. The parties having a right to the benefit of the spzcial eestint,lon attributed to the chateau of Ecouen by the last will of the Duke do Bourbon, sons and grandsons of the Royalist soldiers of 1793, have now brought an action against the Duke d'Aumale before the Council of State, and the cause will be pleaded by M. Boaviel, advocate at the Court of Cessation, where he succeeded M. Ladru Rollin." The Patrie publishes the following as a telegraphic dispatch :—" The Bertholet has just left Brest with 400 seamen for Cherbourg." ITALY. The treatment which POERIO and his companions received on their journey from Ischia to Montefosco Is worthy of Naples rule and Naples humanity. They were chained together during the whole of the Journey, and not allowed -to get out of their vehicles even for the most urgent reasons. On arriving at Avellino, a distance of twenty-seven miles from Naples, they prayed to be allowed to descend, but were told by their guards that they would willingly grant such a natural request, but their orders were very positive. On arriving, halt-dead, at Montefosco, they found no beds or any necessary preparations, and were obliged to lie down on the bare stone floor. My information is derived from a gentleman who has just left the prison of Montefosco. Pomo is represented as suffering very much, and not likely to live long. Captain Nisco is rapidly sinking, and spits blood. The mother of POERIO is now perfectly out of her mind.

(From the London New Price Current, March 5.) Sucan.—To-day the West India Sugar market closes with a quiet tone, and at a decline of fid per cwt for brown and inferior, but for better qualities rates are ge nerally the same as on Friday last. At aucticn 321 hhds 13 trcs 253 brls St. Lucia were nearly all taken in, good yellow at 33s to 345, mid to good mid 318 to 32s 6d, low 29s 6d to 30s 6d, and common to fine brown 26s to 295. REFINED.—To-day lower rates were refused for Re fined Sugar, at the same time home dealers operated with caution, and 44s to 44e 6d is the value of brown lumps. MAultrrivs.—This afternoon the public sales of Mauritius went off at full rates, excepting brown, which sold rather cheaper. Of 9,490 bags nearly the whole found purchasers, good and fine yellow at 333 6d to 35t, low to good mid 30s to 335, brown from 24s to 29s 6d, low and very ord 20s 6d to 235, ord to fine grey 28s to 345, fine grainy yellow 38s to 39a 6d, ord to good 31s to 37e, and fine brown ditto 30e to 30s 61 EAST INDIA.—The public sales of Bengal Sugar pro ceeded quietly, and th e p rev i ous c u r re ncy w as barely maintained, but 4,900 bags were nearly all sold, good to fine white Benares went at 341 to 363, mid 33s to 33s 6d, damp and washed 34s to 355, fair soft brown 23s 6d to 245, lo w t o goo d y e ll ow di t t o 24 s to 28s, ord to mid like Mauritius 8s to 31s, and fine grainy yellew 37s to 395. In consequence of rather lower rates being taken for Madras, a good business was done, and 5,400 bags at auction were nearly all sold, very low seft brown at 20s 6d to 225, better 22s 6d to 248, low to mid yellow ditto 24s to 265, good to fine 26s 6d to 295, and a small part at 34a for good ord.: FOREIGN.—This afternoon more desire was evinced to operate in Foreign.

An impression exists tdat rates will rule higher. In Tamarinds several purchases have been made, East India at 7s to 12s; and West India 24s to 34s per cwt. COFFEE.—Tc-day holders of Coffee were firm, and re frained from submitting any to public sale. There is little doing privately in Native Ceylon, yet it is difficult to purchase gord ord under 39s per cwt. There are se veral buyers of Plantation Ceylon, :and the former value is well supported. Lochs was in good demand at the full terms. Cocoa.—An improvement has taken place in the de mand for foreign. The rates paid for Bahia and Para have been 24s to 255, and Guayaquil 29s to 30s per cwt. Stock still falls short of last season. British Plantation remains in good ,request, and previous rates are well sustained. Prices for good to fine red Trinidad rule at 37s to 435, low to mid 34s to 365, grey 303 to 345; Gre nada 30s to 35s • St. Vincent's 27s to 33s per cwt. TEA.—The demand bus decidedly improved for ord and medium Codgou this week, and merchants are less inclined to press sales; but 'good to fine qualities are still operated in with reluctance, and can easily be obtained at previous low terms, there being no decrease of supply. The rates obtained for low quality are 7d, good common sovnd, 8d to Sid, blackish leaf 9d to 100; &mend Pekoe kinds 1 Id to Is 5d per lb. In Oolong rather more his been done at the previous currency of 8d to 10d for low to mid, and lid to is 3d fur good to fine. In Souchong several transactions have taken place, yet prices keep low, good to fine selling lld to is 63, and inferior in to 103. Pouching has been more in request at 4d to 7d. For common and medium green Tea the demand has been tricker than list week, and the terms of that period are sustained; in better kinds sales at present are limited, and former prices are accepted. The value of low to mid Hyson is is to is 3d, good to fine is 4d to 2s, superior 2s 23 to 2s 8d; Young Hyson, common 10d to 1 Id, mid to good is to is 6d, fine is 8d to 25 2d; Imperial Canton 10d to Is, Hyson kind is Id to 2s Id; Gunpowder, Csutan 8d to Is; Hyson sort, low to mid is ld to Is 6d, good to find is 7d to 3s 3d, Caper 8d to is 3d, and Hyson kind 7d to ls. A good demand prevails for scented orange Pekoe; at the same time holders are disposed to accept for common 8d to 11d, and Is to Is 7d for mid to fine. In flowery Pekoe rather more has been done; fine and superior at is 8d to 2s Bd, and low to good is to la 6d. SPIRITS.—The market has a dull aspect for Leeward Island Rum, and supply being more plentiful rates are on the decline, ruling at is 5d to is 6d proof. East India met with little notice, and can now be obtained at Is 4d proof. Demerara offered at a small reduction, yet operations have been trifling at from 2s to 2s 3d for 28 to 42 for proof. With Jamaica the market is freely supply shippers and home dealers have been eautious in their operations. There are sellers of choice sorts 34 to 38 over proof at 3s 8d to 46, fine 3s to 3s 63, good 32 to 35 over 2s 7d to 2s 10d, mid 2s 4d to 2s 6d, and low 27 to 30 ove 2s 9d to 2s 3d. Brandy is still held with firmness. The rates obtained for Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1851, having been 4s 2d to 4s 4d; 1850 ditto 4s 5d to 4s 7d; 1849 ditto 4s 9d to 4s 11; 1848 ditto 5s 3d to 5s sd, older 5s 6d to 6s 6d, low to mid 2s 6d to 4s, and Bordeaux 2s to 2a 2d, a further diminution has taken place in the stock. British made Spirit sells freely at the late rates of 9s lid to lOs nett cash. Gin 22 under proof at 8s 63, and 17 ditto 9s. A fair pan• tity of Geneva has been sold at is 9d to is 10d, and fine 2s to 2s 2d. RICE.—To-day several purchases were made in East India Rice privately, and the former value was well sup ported. At auction 877 bags Bengal sold at lOs to 108 6d for mid white. SPlCES.—Pimento cannot be obtained at a reduction, yet less demand exists, and supply is more plentiful. At auction 560 bags were nearly all taken in at 4id to 5d for mid to good. Cassia Lignea has been more in request, and stiffer rates are obtained, supply being still scanty. At auction 120 chts were sold at 115 s to 122 s for first and second pile, at 98s to 1103 for mouldy and da maged. Sales of Cassia Vera made at from 44s to 60s, buds are held for 1603 to 1655.

A good demand exists for white; the value is now from 7id to 11d, and supply remains scanty. Several parcels of Ca) anne have been disposed of from 7d to 2d. Cloves are in fair demand, Amboyna 7d to Bd, Bourbon 6d to 6,td, and Penang lld to is 2d. Cinnamon of common quality is still in good request, and a small rise has been established, in the better sorts little has been done. The value of Ceylon is is 10d to 3s for first sort, Is 2d to 2s for se cond, third and fourths Is to is Bd. Several sales have been made in Nutmegs, and a small advance has been established ; low to fine brown is 9d to 3s 4d.

The Guatimala crop is likely to be one half deficient of last season. INDIGO.—Since this day week a brisk home and ex port demand has been experienced for East India; several parcels have also been taken on speculation, and in some casce a small advance has been obtained on quarterly sales' rates. The proportion of bought in lots no,v lett in different brokers' hands is exceedingly small; the only kind of Indigo which remains comparatively neglected, being very low; dry leaf Madras from ls 6d to 2s 4d per lb.

Last week th e t ota l num ber of deaths registered in the metropolitan districts was 1,069, which is nearly the same as in the previous week. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1842-51 the ave rage number was 1,042, which, with a certain pro portion added for increase of population, becomes 1,146. Hence it appears that last week's return is less than th e correcte d ave r a ge by 77. The fatal cases referred last week to " diseases of the respiratory organs" number 193, while the cor rected average is 228. They are distributed thus :- 6 caused by laryngitis and laryngismus stridulus, 3 pleurisy, 89 bronchitis, 67 pneumonia, 21 asthma, and 7 by other undefined disease of this class. P . hthisis or c onsum ption (in the tubercular class) was fatal to 143 p ersons , hooping cough (in the epidemic) to 47. The number of deaths ascribed to zymotic or epi demic diseases was last week 208, the corrected average being 218. Small-pox was fatal to 24 chil dren and 5 adults, in 6 of which cases it is stated that vaccination had been performed; measles was fat : il in 11 cases, scarlatina in 22, croup in 7, diarrhoea and dysentery in 24, influenza in 5, typhus, remittent fever, rheumatic fever, Sm., in 51, erysipelas in 9.

THE NAVAL RESERVE. 70 THE EDITOR Op THE MORNING HERALD. Sir,—ln common with almost every naval officer with whom I have conversed on t h e proposa l o f t h e late Go vernment respecting th e " naval reserve," it has been almost a general feelin g t h at although i t i s a s tep in the right direction, y et that i t i s not at a ll lik e ly to supply that admitted - want in time of actual emergency, when even a few hours might be of the most vital importance, and I cannot believe any dependence cou ld be placed in getti ng together any reasonable number c f men (so circum s t anced as those men would necessarily'be, scattered in all directions, making so as to be a va il able in a crisis, and even when scraped together from east, west, north, and south, it must take a considerabl e t i me for them to be brought into some sort of training , voyages from port) So as to act together and become ac quainted with their officers. I would, therefore, humbly suggest through the medium and influence of your pages—well knowing that the Herald has always taken a lively interest in al; that concerns the well-being raid efficiency of our navy—that instead of the proposal of the late Board of Admiralty to have 5,000 seamen (on paper), that the present board, who are all practical men, and must see that no reliance could be placed on such a form of reserve, should at once secure and keep at our chief ports, 3,500 good seamen as they are paid off, and the remaining 1,500 men to be immediately recruited for the marines and marine artillery, and added to that most valauble corps, who are not only ready at a m oment ' s notice, but who, being all trained to the great guns, and thoroughly dis c ipli ne d i n every re spect, ar e i n d eed a most important and valuable nucleus upon whi c h to depend on the putting a ship in commis sion. Ind ee d , as a naval officer who has often found and witnessed their valauble services and gallant bearing, I feel, as I am sure most of my blue-jacket brethren do, that we cannot have too many of them. It %as, therefore, with regret that I lately saw pro muigated an order to reduce the number of marines serving on board our ships. This, I suppose, was the suggestion of the miserable and unwise economy of the late Government to eke out the present number of men to the greatest length, for the satisfaction of their friends! Messrs. Cobden and Co.; but it is sincerely to be hoped ii that, fur the honour and welfare of our country sa ri d navy, that the present board, who know from. expel' once once their value, will keep in hand our blue - jact ° , , a nd then England need not fear the result. n thebed n ',Y„ marines (for ships Regretting, Sir, that I should: have le g g you win begg few remarks to such an extent, and t make such use of this as you think bes t , we have more than e nougni I am, your obedient 3 A CAP TAIN, R.N.

The spring half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the South-Eastern Re;lway 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 read 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 then proceeded 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. 3s. ld.— (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, bear)—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 1851, 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 23,000/., a small sum under the cir cumstances of the half-year, an increase, indeed, that might have been expected from the facility given by the tidal trains, 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 the 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, of 5,0004 ; upon the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate, of 16,0004; and upon the Greenwich line, of 1,9001., from domestic passenger traffic—an increase which will, I trust, be maintained heereafter.—(Cneers.) The increase in the goods and coal traffic has been gradual and satisfactory. Last half year it was 11,115/, upon the main line and branches.—(Hear, hear.) I venture to submit to you the particulars of goods and coal traffic, as it is shown from the year 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 871. per mile. For the half-year ending January, 1852, with 270 miles of railway open, the earnings were 246/. 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 surrounded, 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 evidence of economy in the management of the company, in regard to the points which are within the control of the directors.—(Hear, hear.) The con sumption of coke is diminished—the improvement in engines has lessened the quantity of coke used—with a greater amount of traffic and mileage run, and larger earnings, we have burnt a less quantity of coke.—(Hear.) We have run 168,300 mote 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 commencsment 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. 4d. 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 ment of a more economical mode of transit from the coal pita to the coke ovens, by the use of iron screw steamers.—(Hear, hear.) We have taken mea sures to economize 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 continuous, and that further economy will appear in our next half-yearly report.—(Hear, hear.) I esti mate the saving in coke and stores 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. Qailter, 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 108. 6d. per 30/. consolidated stock, and that a surplus will remain of 4,2691. 12s. 10d.—(Hear, hear.) I have to submit to you, on the part of the directors, their esti mate of the amount at which the capital account will be closed. Gentlemen, assuming that theeegineer's estimates for the completion of the works in progress will cover the outlay requisite for that purpose, and that the asses set forth in the company's balance-sheet to 31st Ja nuary, 1852, and the surplus property will realms the SUMS at which they are respectively estimated, and of which the directors have satisfactory evidence, the pre sent means of the company are sufficient for the closing of the capital account, at the total sum of 9 692,3751., which will be thus represented: — Consolidated 5t0ck , ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, £7,433700 4i Guaranteed 5t0ck,.,,,, 481,300 Bond Debt ........................ 1,784,375 .09,699,375 We suggest in the report the propriety 01 converting the bond debt into a permanent guaranteed stock, and look ing forward to effecting that measure at the rate of 3i per cent. per annum, there would he a reduction on the outgoings of last half-year of 8,7371, or 17,474/. per annum.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I will not occupy your t i me 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 loud cheers.) At this meet jog 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-electing retiring directors should not pro ceed without exception, and in deference to that send ment we submitted to you a proposal that on the present and future occasions one retiring director should not offer himselt for re-election,—(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 not 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. Rich, the Member for Richmond, who is one of the Can didates soliciting your suffrages as a member of the board. They believe that by ouch an election the influ erica of the direction and the interests of the company will not be dirninishFcl.—(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 the reduction in the cost of coke was upwarda of 2,0001. 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 expresbioo. 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 had been op e n e d. Mr. LEVY said he knew well what ought to have been the proper cost for coke. The eIIAIRKAN said the directors did not put forward the rcduottou ea 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.—(flear.) Mr. GEO. SMITH regretted that the smallness of the dividend, compared with that given by neighbouring railways, called from him an expression of disappoint ment kind dissatisfaction—an expression which he he lievpd would be entirely shared by other proprietorfis. If he wanted to bring forward a vote of want of b c u o t n he dence in the direction, he would do so manfully; i hesitated doing so. What was their situa tion 3 per after the flourishing year of 1851? Why they had g cent. for the year.

Mr. LEVY said the public voice was in favour of new blood being introduced into the board. Now though he thought it desir a bl e to h ave new blood, he wouldnever pander to such an appetite.—(A laugh.) It was a de praved appetite. If there was any good blood in the board —and he did not think there was much—he thought r they ought to keep it. The proposition of the board with regard to the appointment of new directors was nothing more than a job, but it was wrapped up well. — (Laughter.) The beat man, Captain Warren, h a d been turned out of the board.—(Hear.) H e 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.—(llear.)lHe should be gl,kd to know if he could not give his vote for Captain Warren's re-clecion. The CHAIRMAN told Mr. Levy that, as an indepen dent proprietor, ho was at liberty to propose his re olectiQue--(Cheers.) Mr. LEVY said that he would move his re-election, for no one knew more of their French traffic than Captain Warr en.—(Cheers.) Mr. Caomg was glad to hear that the capital account was about to be closed, for until the capital account of a 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 be 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 quite 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, it 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.—(Bear, 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 dividond, 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 servo the public well. Mr. W. REID should be glad to know when prelimi naries were likely to be accomplished for closing 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 no works should be under taken without the sanction of a general meeting.— (Cheers.) The working expenses of tho 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 Bank of England? The CHAIRMAN said 4} 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 said one proprietor had found fault with them for not putting lights into the third-class carriages; but why should they so long as they were forced to run a Parliamentary train at a loss?—(Hear.) 1 he carriages which formerly induced passengers to provide themselves with candles were now all run in daylight.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. LEVY asked how much they were going to spend on the North Kent line? Five thousand pounds were spent upon this line last year. The CHAIRMAN corrected the Hon. Proprietor. They did not expend 5,000/. 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. Ricb, M.P., being brought forward in this way.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN said Mr. Rich aas a highly respec table man, and besides being a director of the Sun Life Office, be had also been honoured with the confidence of her Majesty's late Government, and was a thorough bu siness roan.—(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 he spoke of the interest paid to the Bank of England.—(Hear, hear.) Now, he begged to iuferm 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 bim 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. WILSON 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 had 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, be believed that it was the best they ever would have ; next year it would be more likely to be 6d. instead of 10s. 6d. The management was most defective in every point of view. Th e CHAIRMAN threw back the insinuations of Mr. Wilson on himself. He would ask that gentleman with reg ard to tributary lines, who was it that was so anxious for the ex tension of a rail way to Blackwell ? Who was it that had subscribed a sum twenty times larger than his interest in the South- Eastern Railway to support a line to Gravesend to com pete with this hne? Mr. WILSON denied that he had ever done so. The CHAIRMAN said that his source of information was a Parliamentary document, and be might have been mistaken. The resolution confirming the report was then put and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then moved a resolution declaring a dividend of 31 per cent., which was seconded by the DEPUTY-CHAIRMEN, and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN next proposed, and the DEPUTY CHAIRMAN seconded, a resolution empowering the directors to take such steps as they might think fit to enforce the payment of outstanding calls in arrear, which was also carried without discussion. The CHAIRMAN next proposed, and the DEPUTI CHAIRMAN seconded, a resolution empowering the directors to sell the shares purchased by the company, and converted into consolidated stock, by tender to the highest bidder. Mr. Wilmoss objected to the sale or 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 Tit'ZIPSON 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? The CHAIRMAN said, in answer, that the sale of the shares was absolutely necessary before the capital account could be carried. The numb..r of those shares was 6,200. Mr. SMITH 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 prcposed, by way of rider, that the directors should have the power which they sought when they were able to close the capital account. Th© CHAIRMAN said he should have no objection to add words to this effect. A SHAREHOLDER proposed that this matter should be deferred to a future meeting. The CHAIRMAN said the only desire of the directors was to convert these shares into bona fide assets, and it the meeting would pass this resolution, which would have that effect, he had no hesitation in saying •I the next directors would take no further steps unti meeting. an a mend- Mr. Alderman SALOMONS then moved as that the the ment that these shares should be distribut proprietors pro rata, at the rate of 20L p per 8 1 the directors The CHAIRMAN intimated the readiness o to accede to this arrangement. • original m otion and Mr. After a short discussion the and the amend. e h cl u a re meng Smith's amendment were withdrawn. • s carried unani int:nt of Mr. Al derman Salomons v. a mous ly.

This amendment was put and lost, but a subsequent amendment, that 500 copies, the same as before, bhould be printed, was carried. Mr. Morgan was then r e-elected as an auditor. The CHAIRMAN then aunounced, that as his term of office had expired, it was now his duty to retire from the position which he held, and leave his re-election or re jection in the hands of the shareholders. Mr. M.Gregor then vacated the chair, which was taken by Mr. Simile. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the re-election of Mr. M'Gregor, which was seconded by Mr. 1-1 GREY, and sup ported by several other shareholders, and carried unanimously. Mr. M‘GrtEson then resumed hi seat amid the cheers o f the shareholders , after thanking l them for the honour which they had conferred on him, val devo t e his energies and On the motion of the _ to their service. UltAntaux, seconded by Mr. Alderman TilOhtp g ori, M r . Renshaw was re-eloc.ted a director. The CHAIRMAN then proposed, and Mr. Alderman SALOMONS cuuded, the el. ction of Mr. Rich, M.P., es a clamor, in th e room o f Capt ain W arren , ret i r iag by rotation. Mr. LEN Y proposed the re-election of Capt. Warweu• Air. WlLsori seconded the amendment. The CHAIRMAN denied that the candidature of Rich lied origin4ted with him or with the directors. Captain WARREN explained that the chairmar, the deputy-chairman, and himself being the directors to re tire by rotation, he had, in deference to the position of the two others, volunteered not to offer himself for re election. It eras with feelings of great regret that he left the board; and if, at any future time, they shoul d think fit to repose this trust in him again, he should be most happy to undertake it. Mr. CROOK then proposed that the salary of the Chair man should be 1,0001. per annum, and the directors lON. per annum. The motion was not secon,led. The meeting was then made special, and the draft of the Bill for the amalgamation of the Guildford, Reading, and Reigate with the Sonth-Eastern Company was °P • proved ot, and a vote of thanks concluded the business of the meeting.
