On Saturday, July 25, the first meeting of the pro prietors of this company, under the incorporated Act, was held at the Palatine Hotel, Manchester, Mr. Henry Houldsworth, of the Manchester and Leeds, in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said it was only within the last few. minutes that it lead been intimated to him that it was the desire of the promoters of the Liverpool, Manches ter, and Newcastle Junction that he should occupy the chair. He regretted that some gentleman more inti mately acquainted with the business of the company had not been selected ; but it was well known that the com pany was composed of two parties who had coalesced, and it was thought best that some one occupying a neu tral position should preside, and under these circum stances he was requested to take the chair. He con gratulated them in the first instance on there meeting there that day, for the first time, as shareholders in the Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle Junction Railway Company, under the act of incorporation, which had been recently obtained. He believed the meeting was celled in fulfilment of the great requirements of the 'General Railway Act. Matters of great importance were to be discussed, and he trusted that would be done in all fair ness and in a cordial spirit, and that everything would be done to promote the interest of the company, and to sustain their character as men of business. The following report was then read to the meeting:— " The directors, in presenting their report to the first general meeting of the shareholders in this undertaking, have much pleasure in congratulating them on the success that has attended the Bill in Parliament, which received the royal assent on the 26th of June last. Notwith standing the opposition which the undertaking had to en counter through many of its stages, and the necessity for passing two Bills for the separate schemes (noir united) the directors believed that the expenses of obtaining the Act of Incorporatiou will be found to be far less than might have been anticipated ; and that, after payment of all expenses, so large a sum will remain in their hands, applicable to the purposes of the railway, as to render any further call upon the shareholders until after the general meeting In February next wholly unneces sary. The directors have entered into certain agree ments with the Newcastle and Darlington and Great North of England Railway Companies ; and with the East Lancashire and Manchester and Leeds Railway Compa nies, for facilitating the transit of the traffic along these lines to and from the district supplied by this scheme, which agreements will be submitted to the shareholders for their approval. By the provisions of the Act of Incorporation the whole of the present directors retire from office at this meeting, but are eligible for re-election. Amongst other duties which will devolve upon the shareholders at this meeting will be the appointment of two auditors, and the outgoing directors will be prepared to recom mend twe large shareholders to fill that important office. The directors regret that the short time that has expired since the passing of the Act has rendered it impossible to complete the register of the shares in time to receive the common seal of the company at this meeting ; the register, however, will speedily be completed, and the seal can be affixed at the next ordinary meeting. " P.S. Since the above report was in print, the balance-sheets of the original companies have been ex changed, from which it appears that the actual cash payments up to the present time amount to 36,6351. Is. 7d. The directors have not yet been able to close the accounts of the engineers and the solicitors, but, estimating the liabilities, as near as can be ascer tained, at between 18,000/. and 19,0001., a balance will be left in their hands of about 120,0001., the whole of which is at present invested at interest, applicable to the purposes of the railway ; the directors, therefore, believe that there will be no necessity for making any future call for twelve months. The report was unanimosly approved. The CHAIRMAN proposed the next resolution, which appointed Mr. William Henry Brockett and Mr. Charles Swallow auditors. The remuneration to these gentlemen was fixed at 201. each per annum.—Mr. William Nicol, of Liverpool, seconded it.—Carried. Mr. CRAM, of Newcastle, said, a great number of share holders wished to have a further inquiry into the state of the accounts of both companies before any thing fur ther was done, to see how the large amount of expendi ture had been incurred, and how the large sum paid, in the shape of deposits, was invested, or otherwise disposed of. At the request of many gentlemen at a distance he had made the inquiry that morning, but finding it diffi cult to get at the information he thought it but right to put the matter to the meeting. Many gentlemen pre sent, like himself, might be ignorant of the state of the affairs of the company, and it would be satisfactory, he thought, to all interested, if the accounts were investi gated, with a view to which he moved the adjournment of the meeting till the 25th October, and the appoint ment of a committee of shareholders to investigate the accounts and share register of both companies, with a view of ascertaining the precise position of the two companies, both at the time of the amalgamation and noni; and to report as to the manner.in which the funds are now invested, and the incumbrances, if any. He thought such an investigation, if satisfactory in its result, would increase the good feeling of the public towards the undertaking. Mr. Medley, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN said if the resolution was proposed at that stage of the business it would supersede all the other resolutions which had been placed in his hands, and as it was of so comprehensive a nature it probably would be better to take the opinion of the meeting on the resolution, rather than proceed with the resolution he had, for, by the adoption of Mr. Cram's motion, ehey would be put in abeyance. A SHAREHOLDER suggested that the whole of the re solutions the chairman had should be read, as they might, perhaps, enable the meeting to decide on the question of Mr. Cram's motion. The CHAIRMAN said the first resolution was for the appointment of the directors, which appointment would bo suspended until a distant day by Mr. Cram's motion. Mr. YATES had no objection to an investigation on the part of the original Lancashire and North Yorkshire Railway. They were prepared to show theirbalance sheet, and to produce vouchers for every item of expenditure ; their funds were not encumbered—they never had been encumbered. He mentioned this boldly as a reason why they should not object to an investigation ; on the con trary, they thought it a very desirable thing, as each party had come into partnership with another, and their accounts were mutually unknown. As to the postpone ment of any further proceedings by the meeting, he thought the directors of both companies would be able to carry on the affairs of the companies, in all matters necessary to be done during the investigation, in the sam e manner as they had done hitherto, and both com panies would be afforded a very satisfactory opportu nity of making more ample explanations than appeared in the postcript to the report. He thought they ought to be well acquainted with each others ac counts, and that the shareholders ought to have equal information, so that they might be able to ascertain the value of the amalgamation,!and if the report were satis factory, mutual confidence would arise. Mr. COKE, of Richmond, spoke in favour of the ap pointment of a committee. They would be men inde pendent of the gentlemen who had promoted both com panies, and would return a faithful report, which would increase public confidence. Mr. ALLIIIISEN said, on behalf of the original Liver pool, Manchester, and Newcastle Junction, he begged to announce that the accounts were in the room. The shareholders would perceive by the report that 56,63.51. is. 7d. had been expended, and out of that sum the late Lanchasbire and North Yorkshire had spent 21,7471. Bs. 9d., and the Liverpool and Newcastle Junc tion 14,877/. 12s. 10d. Their company (the Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle Junction) had had to sur vey he thought 102 miles, but they had from the be ginning of their undertakigg been as economical as pos sible, and nothing would give them greater satisfaction than to submit these aoctounts to a committee, because they believed they would get well out of the invest gation, and that it could only reflect credit upon them. They had been careful in getting every director to pay up the day he got his allotment ; they had also, he be acsruednit of the company. be lieved, taken up their shares regularly ; he did not at that moment recollect one who had not. All the money Ty,it would . please them had been invested, and 73,0001. of it was now in the hands of Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, and Co. of London, in of 1,1001., was in e f e i t e m v n e ' stigation appointed, not only E m x e c s h sv e s q . u ß e ra-vbeiallys,,eahnattdhee troetsht,e Under these circumstances they . could not, of course, passed araong this thave havet h the slightestcommittee oboj as to their accounts, but also as to the share register ; the lallna many would r a i l b w e a found u ns schemes i e n m s e o s g w o o h d i e h a s h t a a t d e t h h e ae been , session, none would he found to surpass th e i rs. But the adjournment was another question, and to that he must object. Unison of management was absol u t e l y neces sary to the success of th e undertaking, and h o h oped the proposer of the resolutio n would withdraw it; if h e d id not they would have to go to the vote. Mr. Nicol., of Liverpoo l, said, so far as the funds of both companies were concerned, it appeared there was a perfect inclination on the p art of the directors to make a statement of them, and to show how the money had been expended, and he thought it would not b e d es i ra b le to allow three months to be spent in investigating matters If tlhaevieshweaxspaennyditure, reason for the it might which the directors were s o desirous to lay b e f ore th e the e,. e he instant. dben a t meeting belief that on t form some reason for having an investigation, but the business of the committee being simply for the purpose of obtaining and spreading information which both parties were prepared to giv e, ho could not see any ad vantage in suspending the proceedings for three months. He hoped the gentleman would . with draw hi s m otion, and be satisfied in the meantime with what had been stated. A SHAREHOLDER (Mr. Peet, we believe) said after what had appeared in the London papers, and after what had been said in the House of Lords by Lord London derry, he thought that they would be wanting in their duty to themselves if they did not, before proceeding to tho appointment of directors, make this investigation, which was necessary to remove the grave imputations contained in those reports and that speech. He hoped the shareholders would unanimously agree that the com mittee ought to be appointed and investigate before the directors were appointed. He thought it was a duty *lying to the shareholders and to the d i r ectors. It had been stated that all the directors had paid their deposits; he wished to ask if Mr. Hudson had paid his deposit ? Mr. ALLIIUSEN felt obliged to the gentleman for bringing the matter before the meeting, as it would enable him to give an explanation which he had not the slightest doubt would be satisfactory. In the first place Mr. Hudson consented to become a director, and here is his written consent (holding out a letter). It would not be out of order, under the circumstances, that he should read it. (He then read the letter, which merely stated, in very few words, that after mature consideration of the scheme, he should have great pleasure in allowing his name to be added to the committee of management.) This letter was dated September 25, and was addressed to Mr. Allhusen. Now it was quite evident, from that letter, he (Mr. Allhusen) should say, that it was his in tention to go on with the undertaking. He had at that time a great deal of business on his hands, and he did not attend the committee; and at a later period, when it was necessary to sign the deed, he (Mr. Allhusen) waited upon Mr. Hudson, together with the parties who witnessed the deeds, and Mr. Hudson signed for 25,0001. As it was not convenient to be run ning after Mr. Hudson, when the deposit was to be paid, to ask him for it, he (Mr. Allhusen) paid the de posit on his account, and the scrip was now in his pos session for Mr. Hudson. More could not well be said on the matter ; but one thing he would rather have avoided, which he must say. Mr. Hudson, he had no hesitation in saying, would have gone on with the mat ter, but that he and Mr. llarper had been at variance. When Mr. lludson was put on the direction he (Mr. Allhusen) endeavoured to reconcile them, but failed; and Mr. Hudson declined to go on if Mr. Harper was appointed. They communicated with the directors of the Lancashire and North Yorkshire Company, and after a great deal of difficulty about the matter, they were obliged to give in. The directors at the same time thought the Lancashire and North Yorkshire had the best line, but as they were not engineers they did not blame themselves for holding such an opinion. They gave in upon it, and Mr. Hudson withdrew, though up to that moment he (Mr. Allhusen) believed Mr. Hudson intended to have an interest in the line. Mr. Allhusen then entered into an explanation with reference to the charges made by the Marquis of Londonderry, and also stated that the Marquis applied for shares originally, as one of the provisional committee, which he subsequently declined to take up. Mr. PEET was asked by the Chairman if he had any more inquiries to make. After saying that he did not think the time of the meeting had been unprofitably em ployed in the explanation just given, he said it was re ported in the public papers that there were 61,900 shares issued in the Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle Junction line, and that out of that number fifty includ ing the provisional committee and the solicitors, held 44,800, or more than two-thirds ; was this so ? Mr. ALLIIUSEN said it was correct that a large num ber of shares did appear to be held by the provisional committee. They made bargains before the amalgama tion of the several companies. Amongst others, the Fleetwood, Preston, and West Riding were to have 11,000, and the Blackburn, Darwen, and Bolton. 11,000 —they had sufficient money to pay the parliamentary deposits, and they signed for a certain amount. As it was necessary to deposit two bills for the one undertak ing, they went into Parliament as two bills. Suggestions were here made that the time for ad journment should be shortened. Mr. CRAM was quite willing to do so. He disclaimed a desire to make any imputation against the directors or any party whatever. He had long known Mr. Allhusen, and he believed him to be incapable of the acts which a noble Lord had charged against him and his party, but he thought it necessary some tangible refutation should be given to the charges. Mr. NIcoL moved, as an amendment, that the meeting proceed to the business of the day, coupling with it a resolution for the appointment of a committee. Mr. ALLIIUSEN seconded it, and in doing so said that any gentleman on the board, to whom suspicion might attach, in connexion with the Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle Junction, after the investigation, would place his seat at the disposal of the shareholders. Mr. HARPER, of York, said the North Yorkshire accounts were kept in the same style as the Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle Junction, and he put in a statement of them with Mr. Allhusen's. The directors of that company, as Mr. Yates said, were equally ready to submit to an inquiry. Referring to the dispute be tween himself and Mr. Htidson, he said he did not enter upon it as a personal matter between him and Mr. Hudson, in that light the shareholders had nothing to do with it, but only as it affected him as a director. The dispute between him and Mr. lludson arose out of a letter, which, at the request of his brother directors on the North Yorkshire, he wrote to the directors of the Sunderland and Durham, at the time Mr. Hudson was in negotiation with them, and which had the effect of impeding, those negotiations, and the directors had, therefore, felt it their duty to support him. Nevertheless, he begged to say that he had no desire to sit at the board to the exclusion of a better man, and, therefore, he sent in his resignation twice to the directors, and on each oc casion it was refused. Mr. Hudson's conduct to him had changed after that letter was written, and now it appeared 1.0 I,ld made it a matter of objection to him. As to the satements of the Marquis of Londonderry, they were but the result of other people's information. A DIRECTOR said, as they were forming alliances of importance, he could not with propriety recommend the shareholders to take any further steps without more time. He thought three months too long, one month too short, and he suggested two months. In that time they would have got in a number of their engagements at present outstanding, such as tho engineer's and soli citor's bills. The amendment was then put, and lost by 31 to 40, and by a show of hands the meeting stood adjourned to the 20th of September, the time in the original motion having been altered to two months. A poll, however, was demanded, and two scrutineers were appointed. This was at twenty minutes to two o'clock. The voting was carried on. About seven o'clock, the directors, with Mr. Houlds worth at their head, again came into the meeting room, and Mr. HouLnswoßTH, taking the chair, announced that the amendment had been carried by a large majo rity, and consequently they would proced to the business of the day. (The whole of the resolutions passed will be found in our advertising columns). The secretary was elected at a salary of 300/. per an num. The allowance for the directors was fixed at 1,0001. per annum. The next ordinary meeting of the proprietors was fixed for February, 1847. Mr. Gibb, Mr. Cram, and Mr. Nicol were appointed the committee of investigation, and the fullest powers were given them, so that all the charges which have been made in the railway and other journals, or else where, may be sifted and disapproved, or otherwise. Mr. GIRD moved the appointment of the following gentlemen as the board of directors William Hutt, Christian Allhusen. Nicholas Wood, Alexander George Gray, William Amos Scarbrough Westoby, Thomas R. Wilson France, Henry Houlds worth, Joseph St. John Yates, Edward Harper, Thomas Broadhurst, Francis Billam, and Lot Gardiner.—They are the samea, s those whose names are recorded in the Act. Mr. BEAUMONT, of Halifax, seconded the motion, which was carried. The CHAIRMAN said that his name was included in the list, and he begged to say that he had quite made up his mind that he would shortly withdraw his name from the direction, in consequence of the business lie was obliged to attend to in other quarters, and it would be impossible for him to render his services for any length of time. The general meeting then dissolved, and a special meeting was held for the purpose of confirming a num mer of agreements with various companies as to tolls, &c. Mr. Houldsworth again occupied the chair. The business was soon gone through, and after a vote of thanks to the solicitors of the undertakings and to the chairman, the meeting separated. PRICE 5I). in respect of Porthdynllaen Harbour, as, after the pro ceedings had advanced to a certain stage, they felt them selves compelled to give orders for the dismissal of the Bill, upon the advice of Messrs. Williams and Mc Leod, the agents of Messrs. Williams and Breese. " The directors have thought it expedient to confine their attention at present to that portion of the line that lies between Bangor and Carnarvon, and they have rea son to think that when the railway shall have been con structed to that extent, it will yield a profitable return for the outlay. " The directors, in purchasing the necessary land for the purpose, have a great difficulty to contend with in respect of the line going through the lands of John Griffith Griffith, Esq., at Llanfair, as it is expected that that gentleman will claim the payment of the sum of 5,4001.: should this be so, it will be under an agreement entered into from a misapprehension of the facts of the case, and from the directors being in ignorance of a pre vious agreement having been formally and duly signed providing for a reference to J. A. Smith, Esq., to deter mine as to the course of the line, but the result of which reference must have been to permit the line to go through the lands, according to the Parliamentary plan, without any compensation, if the deviation as proposed should be a more expensive oue, and the directors feel that, under such circumstances, they ought not to be com pelled to pay the 5,4001. " The directors, in compliance with the terms of the advertisement inserted by them on making the call, will pay interest after the rate 41. per cent. to the proprie tors on the amount of the deposits and calls, and the same will be in the course of payment from and after the 18th September next. They are glad to be enabled to meet this charge withont drawing on the capital but to a trifling extent, from the manner in which they have been enabled to deal with the funds of the company; for i bearing in mind that they had the interest to pay, the directors have not' thought it expedient to leave the money in the hands of the bankers at the small per tentage allowed on deposits, but in the first instance lent great part of ieto the South-Wcstern Railway Company at 41. per cent., and have since lent it to the Richmond Railway Company at 41. 10s. per cent. This last com pany did propose to pay off the amount, but on the ap plication of the directors have consented to retain it, subject to repayment on demand. It should also be re collected that the sum of 1,7501. profit has been realised to the company, from the sale of shares reserved for Wales. " The balance sheet up to the end of June is annexed hereto: it contains, as will be seen, several items of ex penditure, which were due the previous half-year. " The directors regret to report the want of co-opera tion on the part of the chairman, W. B. Hughes, Esq., M.P., in forwarding the interest of this undertaking, and cannot help expressing their conviction that he is too much connected both by family and political ties with the former legal staff of this company, to act to the ad vantage of the proprietary. It will be, therefore, for the proprietors to consider whether their interests will be best consulted by a change in the direction. " The directors, before concluding their report, deem it right to refer to the letter that appeared under the signature of " Evan Griffiths," in Bradshaw's Gazette and Herapath's Journal in June last, as they would be greatly wanting in respect both to the shareholders and themselves if they allowed it to pass unnoticed; they therefore thought the best way for them to proceed was to call a meeting of the shareholders at the earliest op portunity, in order to satisfy them that the charges in such letter were wholly groundless, and accordingly they gave directions to call the present meeting. At the same time they directed their solicitor to write to the editors and proprietors of the above journals, to give up the name of the author of the libel and to publish an apology. The proprietor of Bradshaw's Gazette at once expressed his regret that the article had been inserted, apologised for it, and stated that it had been done under a misapprehension, and that he was unable to give up the name and address of the author of the slander, since the person who had left the article for insertion had given a false name and address; however, as he had done all in his power to comply with their request, the directors were quite satified. The conduct of the proprietor of Herapath's Journal was very differ ent. He refused to publish any apology, but merely stated in a short note under that part of the journal which is addressed to correspondents, his regret that some remarks had escaped in an article headed " North Wales Railway," which, if they . had been seen before publication, would not have been inserted. " The board of directors not thinking it desirable for them, as a board, to take any proceedings let the matter drop. " The letter, however, more particularly reflecting on the Deputy Chairman, (Mr. Herapath having declined to make any apology), be has thought it right to commence an action of libel against him ; and to a declaration, setting forth the libellous article, Mr. Hera path has not pleaded any denial or justification of it, but has admitted that the article was totally false, and that there was no ground whatever for the charge or for the imputations conveyed in it ; but that he had inserted it without gross negligence and without actual malice, and had inserted a full apology for it in a subsequent num ber of his journal, and that not greater damages than 5/. had been sustained, which sum he paid into Court. The deputy-chairman thinking that no apology had been published, and being, moreover, anxions to give the pub licity of a trial to the falsity of the charge, replied in answer to the plea. The defendant has demurred to the replication on purely technical grounds, the effect of which is to prevent the cause from coming on for trial at the present assizes. "In conclusion, the directors take leave to observe, that they have entered into detail more fully than is usual on such occasions, but they feel that they would ill dis charge the duty they owe to the shareholders and them selves if they withheld the circumstances and causes which have hitherto controlled and impeded their pro ceedings. " WM. CHADWICK, Deputy-Chairman." The CHAIRMAN desired leave that a clerk of his soli citor might be permitted to attend in the room profession ally. To this course there was a great deal of objection made by several shareholders, and the request was with draw. It was then moved by Mr. NORRIS, and seconded by Mr. LAWTON, that the report be adopted. The CHAIRMAN said that he had never seen the report until an hour before he came into the room. The cause of difference between him and the directors arose from his dissent to a loan of 25,0001. to the Richmond Railway Company, on what he considered insufficient security ; and he believed himself in honour bound to institute proceedings against the directors to obtain a restitution of the money, in order to protect himself and the share holders. A resolution of the board of directors pre vented him from making extracts from the minutes; and, taking the whole of his conduct, it was for them to say whether his conduct was worthy of reprobation. Mr. SIMPSON, one of the directors, would like to know if the charges made against them (the directors) by their worthy chairman were likely to involve them in the criminality alleged ?—(Laughter.) For his part, he did not think that they had any reason to apprehend the danger of incarceration in Newgate, or any where else, in consequence of the line of conduct they had pur sued.—(Hear, hear.) He was of opinion that they had paid far too much attention to the Hon. Gentleman, and had extended to him a courtesy which had not promoted their own interests. The reason, however, why they had done so, was the belief they entertained that the influ ence of the chairman would materially aid them, bring an increase of traffic to the line, and strengthen the hands of the direction. What was the first step taken by the Hon. Gentleman? The first thing he did was to prevail upon them to establish a local board. Now what was the fact with regard to the shares? How many shares in the North Wales Railway were held by persons in Wales, so as to justify the appointment of a local board? Why, none. There was not a single share held in Carnarvon, with the exception of those held by the board of directors. Tho chairman just held twenty. That was the interest, then, which Wales had in the undertaking.—(Hear, hear.) lie begged, on behalf of the board, to assure the meeting and the Hon. Chairman that had hecontinued to co-operate with them everything would have been done by them, short of compromising the interests of the company, to meet his wishes. The Chairman complained of the minutes of the board not having been forwarded to him. In reply to that, he (Mr. Simpson) wished to state that the minutes were forwarded to him up to a certain date, but this was dis continued in consequence of his (the Chairman) giving them to other parties. With regard to the loan re ferred to by the Chairman, the meeting would scarcely believe that, when it was first proposed to lend a sum of money to the South-Western Railway, many of s the directors demurred to the proposition. Mr. Hughes himself demurred to it ; but circumstances arose which induced them to consent, and the very solicitors by whose direction the chairman was acting in the present instance, actually drew out the bill for the loan on the same kind of security exactly as the loan was now made to the Richmond Company.—(llear, hear.) A SHAREHOLDER—Who signed the note of hand ? Mr. SIMPSON—The chairman of the South-Westernßail way Company, Mr. Chaplin, Mr. Chapman, of the firm of Chapman and Hall, of the Strand, and Mr. Whiting, of Beaufort-house ; and he had such confidence in the par ties who had signed the note of hand, that if the money was demanded at five o'clock that evening, he was quite sure there would not be the slightest diffiulty as to the repayment. Now, why did they lend the money at all ?—(Bear.) According to their own Act, they were entitled to receive interest at the rate of four per cent. on the deposits and calls, and as only two per cent. was paid at the Bank, they had no hesitation in lending it out again at 4i per cent. The directors, however, feeling that some danger might arise with regard to the present loan, obtained the se curity of the seal of the company to the note of hand. The CHAIRMAN—I believe the seal of the company has not been put to it. Mr. SIMPSON—WeII, if the statement was not correct he would withdraw it; but his impression was that such was the case. As it appeared, however, that he was in error, he would withdraw it. A SHAREHOLDER wished to know if any remuneration had been given to Mr. Chadwick when ho went down to ascertain the expediency of carrying the line to Carnarvon? Mr. SlMPSON—Nothing but his expenses. And now, in conclusion, he begged to say that many of the direc tors were willing to retire if any want of confidence was expressed as to their disposition or ability to promote the EIIA \ r 2 . interests of the company, but he was quije certain that the meeting would sanction th e courswhich the direc tors had thought fit toadoptuld give their assent to the report. Mr. HERIPATII, the proprietor of Herapath's Journal, who had been referred to in the report, expressed his re gret that the letter complained of had been inserted in his paper. It had got insertion entirely unknown to him, and he was not aware that it alluded to Mr. Chad wick. So far from their being malice in its insertion; he had sent the original letter to the solicitor of the company, on his writing to him to that effect ; and at the same time offered to insert an apology. He merely rose to state that the paragraph in the report in re ference to him was not true. Mr. GARDINER thought that their time could be much better occupied than continuing these personal squabbles. He wished that the proper business of the meeting would be proceeded with. Dr. WATERTIELD would like to know from the Chair man if it was his intention to continue chairman of the North Wales Railway after what had occurred, as his answer might affect the future proceedings of the meeting. . _ The CHAIRMAN said that a similar hint was thrown out to him more than once that morning. After the state ninat he had made, and after what had taken place, it would be readily admitted that it was an unpleasant position for him to preside at that board, but no vote which the meeting might come to weuld induce him to resign that situation. One reason why he formed that determination was, that his doing so would deprive him of the ability of recovering the money lent, in case it would be necessary to do so. Dr. WATERFIELD—If the Hon. Chairman was exone rated from that, and every other liability, would he then retire? The CHAIRMAN intimated that he would not. Mr. &law, of Huddersfield, said that he had travelled 200 miles to be present at that meeting, and as he was a very large shareholder in the line, he requested the at tention of the meeting while he made a few observa tions. He came there in consequence of a circular of the 29th July, and he was deputed to attend that meet ing by shareholders in Huddersfield, who held 1,600 shares in the line. From the circular he received, he was prepared to hear some alarming exposures in refer ence to the conduct of the board of direction, but the censure of the Chairman had been entirely taken up with the loan to the South-Western Railway Company. Se far from participating in the censures of the Chairman. he entirely concurred with the board in the course they pursued. After alengthencd personal attack upon the con duct of the chairman, he concluded by requesting the meet ing to reject him from the position which he held, as his continuance at the head of the board would be ex- - • . tremely injurious to the interests of the company. Mr. SHAW desired to know what amount was to be paid on deposits and calls? The CHAIRMAN—Four per cent. The line was to be made in three years. There has been no money paid for land, nor has there been any land contracted for as yet. A SHAREHOLDER said that the reason the gentry of Wales did not join in the undertaking was because a local board would not be allowed, and they had no con fidence in a board conducted two hundred and fifty miles away. Otherwise they would be ready largely to sup port it. Mr. Shaw said he had a resolution to propose, which would have the effect of compelling a resignation. He therefore desired to move that the Chairman would best consult the interests of the company by resigning his position as chairman. Mr. MILLS seconded the resolution. Dr. WATERFIELD considered that they ought not to proceed with the line until they ascertained that the harbour of Porthdynllaen would be made or not. If it was made the line would be a good one, but it would not be se otherwise. There was 25,0001. now remaining, which could bo divided among the shareholders. Mr. ARCHER was not at all satisfied with the Board of Direction. The company were involved to the ex tent of 15,0001., and yet nothing of that appeared in the report before them. He also asserted that he could ' prove, by the minutes of the board, that since the loan was made to the Richmond Company Jackson's contract was cancelled. Mr. SIMPSON said there was no such resolution, and no contract had been entered into. _ _ . Mr. ARCHER reiterated his assertion, and concluded by moving as an amendment, " that a committee of five be appointed to investigate the affairs of the company, and to report thereon, and that the present meeting ad journ till that report be made." After a long and recriminatory discussion, by no means interesting to the public, the amendment was withdrawn. Mr. Nonnis then moved the adoption of the report, with the oreasaion of all reflections upon the Chairman. Dr. WATEIGRELD seconded the resolution. Mr. CANTON said, as the seconder of the adoption of the entire report, he desired to say that he had learned that a great number of heavy bills had been concealed from the knowledge of the shareholders, and had not been even mentioned in the balance-sheet, he therefore considered that something was not right, and ho would therefore withdraw his motion. _ _ Mr. COOKE said he he did not consider that the direc tors had acted properly in making an expark statement with regard to the Chairman, and he considered that they should at once expunge it. The report as amended was then adopted. Mr. LAWTON desired t o know whether the line would be proceeded with ? The CHAIRMAN said, as soon as the Act received the royal sanction there would be a meeting of the share holders. Mr. Salm moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman, for his courteous conduct in the chair. The resolution was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks was then passed to Mr. Wm. Chad wick and the rest of the directors; which was also car ried, and the meeting seperated. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GOODWOOD RACES. SUMMARY OF RACES. In the course of the meeting thirty-three races were run, exclusive of three dead heats, in addition to four stakes walked over for, and one match which did not produce a race, total value 22,9051., exclusive of the Orange Prize. The following is a table of the principal winners : Lord G. Rentinck won 9% races, value 5,0551. Mr. Gully won 4 races, value 5,4301. Mr. R. Bulkeley won 1 race, value 2,4501. Mr. O'Brien won 2 races, value 2,4351. Mr. Bowes won 1 race, value 2,0501. Sir J. Hawley won 1 race, value 1,1001. Duke of Richmond won 3% races, value 9251. Colonel Anson won 1 race, value 900/. Mr. Drinkald won 1 race, value 5101. Including the walks over, there were 250 starters. Lord G. Bentinck's horses ran 48 times, and the Duke of Rich mond's 21. The effect of Lord G. Bentinck's retirement on future meetings here must be great, for independent of the im mense number of nominations taken by him for every stake, it must be admitted, on all hands, that the unequalled cha racter of the sport, and the perfection of arrangement attained in every department, to say nothing of the many admirable regulations that have been established, and are now become the " law of the land," must be attributed to his Lordship's almost unassisted exertions. We understand that the Noble Lord disposed of his entire stud, viz.:—Bays Middleton, about 70 brood mares, nearly 80 foals and yearlings, and 30 or 40 horses in training, stallions, &c., in one lot, to Mr. Payne, for ten thousand pounds, allowing him the option of being off the bargain on Monday, on payment of 3001. The annual expense of this monster stud, in which we include training. vaning, jockies, &c, but irrespective of stakes and forfeits, which were enormous, amounted to about 11,0001. (Rather an expensive hobby, as the Noble Lord observed to a gentle man, in answer to a question as to the truth of the reported sale). It is also reported that Mr. Gully retires from the turf after the St. Leger. We fear the retirement will not stop here. Of the late meeting we have given the fullest particulars that time and opportunity will permit. We should, in con clusion, observe that its management was everything that could have been expected ; the judging, starting, and weigh ing were in the most competent hands. The course, under the supervision of Superintendent May, was well kept, and the return lists issued from Mr. Mason's press, on the course, with a rapidity and correctness that did him great credit. Dispatches were sent off on Saturday evening from the Colonial-office for the Governor of the West India colo nies, and also for the Governor of Ceylon.

RICH ABSURDITY.—It will readily be admitted by most readers that the following scene of humorous absurdity could hardly have :occurred in any but an Irish court of petty sessions, because no other country would be at all likely to possess such a character as the present plaintiff : Borris Petty Sessions, July 23.—A Matrimonial Ambassador. —Michael Sullivan, a man whose appearance indicated con siderable intelligence, summoned a man named Pat Tuite for a sum of 17s. 6d., for work executed. The bench inquired of the plaintiff when and how he had earned the money? Sullivan—Last Shrovetide; and well I did my business, although that spalpeen has failed to fulfil his contract; but wait, he has a few more such cattle en his hands, and may be they won't find a ready market. Bench—What are you? What cattle do you allude to? Sullivan—Why, please your honour, I am a "matrimonial ambassador."—(Loud laugh ter.) Bench—Perhaps you would favour us with a de scription of the duties appertaining to this high office.— (Laughter.) Sullivan—Why, please your honour, I obtain a respectable livelihood by match-making, and time was when it was profitable.—(Laughter.) I engaged with the defendant to procure a husband for his daughter Catherine; he has more of them at home. The cattle I was speaking of to your honours, was the other unmarried daughters I was meaning. Well now ; proceeding on my embassy to W. Wall, of Coolasnaughta, by dint of argument, backed by the smiles of the lady herself, I succeeded in making the match, and they were married. On closing the bargain, Tuite gave me 2s. 6d. ; he had promised me one pound if I succeeded ; therefore, according to Cocker,he owes me 17s. 6d.- ( Laughter.) The bench intimated to the " ambassador" that they were not aware of any law to authorise them to order the payment of the claim, but advised him to make a surer bargain in future, by pocketing his fee before the marriage contract was entered into. Sullivan seemed thunderstruck, says the Carlow , Sentinel, at this • announcement 1 From the laws of hie country, which were said to be the perfection of all wisdom, he had expected an immediate decision in his favour; truth, and justice, and fair dealing being manifestly on his side. He turned on his heel, declaring that, in futur perform money should be paid down before he undertook to the duties appertaining to a matrimonial embassage, and retired from court indignant at the scurvy treatment he had received.

On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS, (An Essay for 1846.) "Of human ills and frailties I discourse, Those taught by nature, and by art acquir'd. Of griefs conceard, and disappointments keen, Which young and gentle, the matured and sage, The lonely and the mated—all sustain. In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n, How health, how hope, how happiness to gain." WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID With Diet Tables for all Complaints. Contents :—How to ensure perfeet digestion, tranquil eclings, a good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob servance of the instructions herein contained .the feeble, the ner vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire the greatest amount of phyalcalhappluaks, and roach in health the • full period of life allotted to man. " How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health Hill threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of no in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the liy e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

The half-yearly meeting of this company took place on Saturday at the London Tavern ; Wm. Berkeley Hughes, in the chair. We extract the following from the report : " The directors, in meeting the shareholders at this the ordinary half-yearly meeting, beg to report that the Bill for the deviation from Bangor to Carnarvon has obtained the assent of Parliament, after considerable difficulty and great delay, occasioned by the hurried manner in which the same was prepared; after the Bill was printed additions and amendments had to be made to the clauses for the deviation, and the Bill thus altered passed the House of Commons, notwithstanding petitions were presented against it by Mr. Powell and Mr. Archer. On its introduction into the Lords Mr. Powell again petitioned against it, on the ground, as he stated, of the amended line more prejudicially interfering with his property than allowed by the original Act; his opposi tion, however, ceased on the solicitor of the Company agreeing that the line as amended shoald not pass nearer to his house than before permitted. " From this delay in the passing of the amended Bill the directors have been prevented settling the terms of the contract with Mr. Jackson, as they did not think themselves justified in having the contract forwarded to him for his approval until they were in a position to know that the Bill for the amendment would receive the sanction of Parliament, the specification of Sir John Rennie, on which Mr. Jackson's tender was founded, having been prepared on the line proposed to be made under the powers of such Bill ; as soon, therefore, as the Bill was in the Lords, and the opposition of Mr. Powell withdrawn, the solicitor, in pursuance of his instructions, forwarded the draft contract to Mr. Jackson, and which he has just returned unapproved, declining to entertain the same, and wishing, it would seem, to perform the works without being under contract. Although delay has thus occurred in the commencement of the construction of the line, it will not, it is thought, be disadvantageous to the company, considering that the junction with the Chester and Holyhead Railway cannot bo effected from the non-completion of that line, and also looking to the state of the money market and rail way matters during the last few months. " Since their last report the directors have abandoned the suit in Chancery which they, upon the advice of their late solicitor, Mr. David Williams and his counsel, Mr. J.
