GREAT MEETING AT THE LONDON TAVERN, Oa Thursday last, the Right Honourable LORD MAYOR in the Chair, For the Prevention of Destitution and Mendicancy. Gentleman present, not being able to make a speech, has sent us his notes, from which we make a few extracts. I approve of this movement ; from what has been said it is evi. lent that " prevention" is aimed at as well as cure, your hearts have tuffered from the sympathetic grief which the sights of wretched teas and misery have produced, and your' ear has not refrained from "he tale which the mendicant has poured out. What pleasure it would afford you to see all ouri elbow - rcen, and especially our mechanics and industrious artizans, who it has just been said Often become the subjects of our bounty," from the fact of their having high prices for those things which they daily require, and more -- `" eu latlY far their DRESS, which has been an immense subject r DOSES in all families, and was, prior to the enterprise of E. uaES and SON, charged outrageous prices, but now is made ac 55ible to every one at their Mart at an easy rate. I repeat to see lese, with all the inhabitants of London and its surrounding corm tf7, Providing themselves with a fund in the ,day when they can ;boar, a fund on which they may depend hi time of need, thus cul hLating a spirit of independence and saving you the great sum you to contribute to the various institutions from which destitution for relief. You pledge yourselves to support this movement, r i t'l the way by which you may best do so, is to save forty per cent. the _Purchasing no all your • Dress and that of your dependants at ccomical Clothing Mart of E. MOSES and SON ; this will ti j enable you further to extend your liberality in your excellent plans. s uc Tf_ n oalY and frugality are the best preventatives of destitution mendicancy. " Waste not, want not," is true as ever. The b i z ...tat. way to .prevent destitution in .the City and elsewhere allel. the people to become possessors of those advantages offered to a. all Soi s p a Pes, purchasing every article of Dress at E. MOSES and Aldgate and Minories, or New Oxford-street and Hart .- C ea Til• Such a course would certainly prevent a great amount or r a ci . u tion , leaving the people a- large amount of money purely the 4- L. of superior quality and low price::. The pricer being more „„ta 4 0 per cent• lower than any other house, constituting an entire ;ing 01 cash to meet accident, scarcity, and old age. The amount i v ecl In forty per cent. mattes a large sum in family expenditure— ' a fortune before age adv •nces, and has already prevented a great a mount of distress in the City and in other places. I, therefore, urge on any Gentleman here who has not already given E. MOSEi and th l , l" the whole of his patronage to do s il o °. forthwith, siarsB &c., to to only thefr°Nom e fact of their being Tailor& Ratters, b iutY, but the sustainers of our City's Taste, Credit, and Fash i on, aOd the economisers of the money of our distinguished ant wealthy t 4 , tir „eue, and endeavour - to extend the benefits of such a reduction dir k , elasseS under your influence and engaged in your serv i ce, by e g them to go to E.

' The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the above company was held yesterday, at the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge. Mrs Laing Was in the chair. The advertimment by which the meeting had been con ereard baviug been read by the secretary, The CHAIRMAN" said he supposed the report might, as le led, be taken as being read.—(dear.) Ile would !m -ecca, then to move that the report be adopted; and in icing so, he should trouble them with a very few chser ratioes upon one or two topics which seemed to him to bo likely to be interesting to them. The first and most important question, end which, perhaps, they might teel en e.irpecial interest iu, was how far the Great Exhibition might have affrieted the large increase of the traffic daring the past half-yeer. When they saw that they bed had during the last three years an increase of 131,6781. in the income of the company, of which up wards lof 50,000/. had been obtained m the last year, 1851, of course they could not but all feel considerable anxiety as to whether this very large increase might be of a permanent character, or might he attributable to a temporary cause like that of the Great Exhibition. They would observe that in the report the directors ex przescd the opinion that although some of the increase of the past year might be attributable to that cause, the larger portion of it was of a permanent charac ter. Of course it must be conjectural in a great measure, how much of the increase might be attribu , ecl to this Great Exhibition. There was no doubt that they had had a considerable accession of traffic arising from that cause; but it hail been by no means so great as in the case of other railways, which connected larger masses of the population with the metropolis; that was a result reasonably to be anticipated. A very great ad ditional attraction being established in London, it was only to be expected that a line like the Brighton, ebich only connected London with the population of a single country, should not reap such a rich harvest from that cause as other railways like the North-Western and Great Western, which connected, perhaps, a third or a fourth of the entire population of the kingdom with London; and, accordingly, such had been the case. The total increase, he found, of passenger traffic during the year 1851 over the year 1850, had been about 42,0001.; while the average increase for the two preceding years had been about 18,000/. According to that it would ap pear, therefore, as if upon their passenger traffic they had obtained rather more than the natural increase of two years; but it must be recollected that the progres sive development of the traffic of the line, while the country continued prosperous, must have been expected to bring a large increase of traffic, inde pendent of any extraordinary cause. lie had got the figures out of the amount of ex cursion trans—and other extraordinary traffic, as they might call it, which had been booked at the various stations on the line to London at reduced rates; and he found that in the year 1851 it amounted to 17,7151., during the time the Exhibition was open, being an in crease of 15,6961. over the corresponding period of 1850. Uf that, 15,000/. or 16,000/. represented the direct in crease of excursion traffic derived from the Exhibition; there probably was some other increase upon the ordi nary traffic to London; but, on the other hand, there was a decided falling off in certain branches of the local traffic; and on the traffic from London he thought on the whole they had lost quite as much as they had gained from superior attractions of the Exhibition in London keeping people in town. There was one rather interesting and remarkable phenomenon attending our Exhibition traffic this year. They hal been in no hurry to adopt the system of low fares; they retained their ordinary fares for the first two months of the Ex hibition; and he thought the result had proved most conclusively that they had got no increase of traffic whatever from that cause until they lowered the fares very considerably, so as to place within the means of the mass of the population the opportunity of gra tifying their curiosity by visiting London. During the month of May the Exhibition affected their traffic in passengers but slightly compared with other lines; they then adopted the policy of grant ing by their usual trains and other trains return tickets at considerably reduced fares; and they had a very large increase of traffic from the middle of July or the begin ning of August until the close of the Exhibition in Oc tuber. Since then they had been suffering slightly, but only in a slight dsgree, from the reaction naturally resulting upon the decrease of that traffic. On the whole, however, he should say, th oug h the result of that test must be conjectural, his own opi n i on was t h a t they might in this one year anticipate the natural in crease of two years; and if in the year 1852 they could keep their receipts on a level with the receipts of the year 1851, they ought to he perfectly satisfied with the result.—(Bear, hear.) There was one very gratifying feature about the increase of their traffic. It they re ferred to the table in which the comparative receipts of the last three years were given they would see that the largest increase of all had been in the amount of the an nual and season tickets. Now that increase certainly showed a steady and progressive development of traffic on the different branches of the line,:and represented in a great measure the increase of buildings, and the in creased number of residents, arising from the great advan tages and ; facilities offered by the lino to people to live at Brighton, and in the vicinity of the different stations on the line, and to come up to London to their business instead of residing in London. As regarded the next question to that of receipts, the question of expenditure, he would just make this remark to them, that in 1849, they might recollect, he hazarded an estimate of what the expenditure might probably be upon a given amount of income in future; and they found the actual result cor responded very closely;iudeed with that estimate. The estimate in 1849 was based upon the supposition of a traffic of 500,0001. a year. Exclusively of casualties, white was a separate item, it would require 210,000/. expenditure to earn an income of 500,0001., and 25 per cent. upon any additional receipts beyond 500,0004 Now that estimate would have brought the expenditure for the year 1851 to the amount of 242,4441.; their actual expenditure in 1851 bad been 233,7191., to which if they added the reserve fund of 10,0001., it would make the amount of 243,7191., or within less than 1,500/. of the estimate which was given more than two years ago. He would like to observe, however, that in giving that estimate it was based upon the supposition that an increase of traffic beyond the 500,0001. a year would arise from the progressive development of the ordinary sources of traffic. He, no doubt, then had in view that which had been the actual fact—that a large proportion of the increase had arisen from goods traffic and excursion traffic, for which traffic they had had to do an extra quantity of work, or he would hardly have ventured to give so large a figure as twenty five per cent. for the additional stock and expenses necessary to enable them to obtain those increased re ceipts. And they must recollect that while their income had increased thirty per cent., the amount of work, whether measured by the number of miles run, or by the number of passengers carried, had increased about fifty per cent., showing that a large portion of their_inne crease had arisen from the traffic attracted to the n by extra exertions in running trains at low fares, e bya ra d . _ . carrying a great portiou of their traffic at reduced e Les last The principal increase of expenditure during of Lo , ro the year, they would observe, was under the head e f m and comotive Power," which had arisen, of course, ran, increased number of miles which had renewals which from the larger amount of repairs and that would be had been effected in order to keep the ef s condition. He believed the best test was r eeek up in good If afforded by the punctuality of trains.the ichthe directors:piqued one point more than another on which themselves—if he might so express is—it was upon th e Brihton Railway, be directorstraffi e wmight feel s s u a l - t punctuality of the trains dissatisfied on COM. lie confessed, although they,°al tisfied, some proprietors migh. s eae that he would rather paring the results of themEuxsh. on other lines; but he nereas u e b d li traffic, and retain undisturbed by an himself have a moderate inc i r i e ty, their reputation for punctu!l is_temonf a great enor mous accession of accession for one year, acc ompanied with the loss of excursion traffic, than have slity with the their character for p 0 and the i u i n th etu reference to the') expression,clie might observe, also, we - 0g toe increase of their 1311 er, that they expendi ture for locomotive p p l o n w ciple of running were going sys tematically thernecessary more trains per -53 strictly at the present moment haps than w for the requirements of the traffic, with a v i ew to afford accommodat i on to the public, and to assist in the future of their traffic. For d ev elopment instance, between L o ndon and Brighton they were running three express trains daily . eachway. Now, very probably two expres s trolls might tWcounuodate the existing traffic, and there might be no material falling off, in the first instance, it they reduced those three express trains to two ; but, on the other hand, he had not the slightest doubt that it was the best policy they could pursue. If they look to an extended period of five, or six, or eight, or ten years, it would be found that there could be no more judicious expenditure of money than in conneding Bliglaton with London at a very high r a t e o f spee d , so us to make it the most con venient point of access from the metropolis; and the SUMO observations would apply to the trains on the short lines—to Croydon and Epsom—where they were running trains from an early hour until half-pesttevelve at night, mainly with a view to encourege residence in the vicinity of the line. He would now come to that which he thought by far the most important point connected with the present report. Teat was the question of providing for the additional outlay for permanent objects, which were rendered necessary by the large increase of traffic. In asking for further outlay fur those objects, it seemed right, in the first instance, that they should give them some account of their stewardship in regard to the past. They would recollect that in October, 1848, an estimate 1 17 7,s sent round by the directors to the proprietors, with regard to the final state of the capital account. -t that period the utmost amount of income which they ventured to ground their estimate upon was 450,0001. a year. They had then liabilities to the extent of 390,000/. to c omp l ete the diffdrent works which were then in progress on the line, and assets to realize to the extent of about 145,0081,,- aad on that they ventured to es ti tnete t h at the final umeunt t.Elteof of things capi tal would not exceed 7,200,0004 Sine s t hat periodai l the works which were then in contemplation ad been completed, and about 100,000/. worth of additiouul works executed, in increasing their stock and in enlarging sta tions, which had bron done beyond anything included in those estimates. Haying done that, and having doting that period seen their traffee increase from 450,000/. to 535,000/. a year, the directors came to them end showed that the limit of 7,200,000/. had not yet been exceeded, but is'approached within a very small margin; end that this increase of traffic rendered necesper„ya further ex penditure, which might be roughly estimated at about 120,0001., in order to provide the necessary accqmino dation for traffic oa, the line. He thought no one who was at all acquainted with the nature of railway business could expect, for one mo ment, that such -a large increase of traffie as that to which we had referred could be - carried on with any thing like the same fixed establishmeut of working stock and accommodation at the stations as was ler merly sufficient. The husiners of a railway company, in many respects, might bo compared to that of' a large carrying establishment, like that of Messrs- Pickford and Co., or Messrs. Chaplin and Home. Every one who was at all conversant with business must know that if the business of Messrs. Pickford and Co., or Messrs. Chaplin end Hoene, were to increase 30 per cent. in three years, a very large increase of outlay indeed I would be required by them in providing working plsnt, warehouses, and so on, in order to conduct that traffic. The number of passengers, as they would sea by the re turn, which had been carried over the lino had increased by upwards of one million, or by 50 per cent. over the whole number carried in 1848 ; and the mileage and tonnage of goods increased in the same proportion. Of course every additianal passenger who was carried re quired additional room to carry him ; and every addi tional ton of goods required additional waggons, and additional warehouse room, and additional room for sid ings at the different stations, and every other precaution, both to accommodate the traffic, and to prevent the risk of accident arising, as they increased the number of their trains. That some further expenditure must take place from time to time, as the traffic increased, was, he thought, a matter which stood to reason; and he was sure that no more ruinous policy could be adopted by railway directors and railway shareholders than to attempt to shut their eyes to the inevitable facts; to shirk the call upon them for further outlay, and to attempt to go on for a year or two with insufficient stock and insufficient accommoda tion, and to incur the displeasure of the public, and the risk of serious accident upon the line, which would be the inevitable consequences of such a course of conduct. Although upon this line they had been very fortunate during the past year, notwithstanding the increase of traffic, in escaping any serious accident that could be at tributed to any want of precaution, yet they could not shut their eyes to the fact that a great many serious aced dents had occurred upon railways, and that a great deal of public excitement had existed upon the subject; and it was clear that if many accidents were to occur upon railways of a description which could fairly be attributed to the want of due precaution, or to a penny-wise and pound-foolish economy ou the part of railway proprie tors, in refusing to grant the necessary funds, they would both risk the certainty of being fined enormously ia the shape of compensation for injury, and also risk the great probability of very stringent interference on the part of the Legislature, very likely leading in its result to great inconvenience and damage to railways. He confessed himself that he had a very strong feel ing that the charter, if ho might so express it, un der which they held their property, was that of doing the best in their power to secure the public safety upon the line. Ho thought if they were, under the influence of false reasoning, or any other motive, to shirk the necessity of increasing their working estab lishment, and of providing all the precautions which the most advanced state of science could suggest for securing the public safety, they would very soon feel the bad consequences of it, both in the falling off of „their traffic, and very possibly in the shape of legislative interference with railway property.—(Cheers.) That feeling led the directors in the autumn of the past year to direct a very minute examination of all the different points of the line, by their different officers, the resident engineer, the traffic manager, and the locomotive superintendent, in order to ascertain whether it was possible, at any points on the line, to introduce any additional precautions to secure the public safety; and whether the large increase of traffic did or did not suggest the necessity of altera tions and enlargements at the different stations for ac commodating the traffic. They had a report from them recommending a variety of different works, every one of which was gone through carefully, and those only were adopted which the board were fully ccnvinced would ultimately be necessary in order to secure the safety of the public on the line. He believed their adop tion could not have been postponed without very great injury to the permanent interests of the company. Oae of the points upon which additional outlay was need ful, as mentioned in the report, was a new goods yard, with an approach from the main line practicable for locomotive engines, and the enlargement of the goods stock, in order to place it upon a level with the requirements of the large increase of traffic. The only point which admitted of a question with regard to that outlay was not the necessity of that outlay (for he was sure the more they looked into it the more they would find that that outlay was necessary and indispen sable), but the mode in which it was to be supplied, and that raised the broad question whether it should be pro vided out of the capital or out of the revenue. Upon that point he had nothing to add to the reasons which were given in that report. He did not like to commit himself to opinions upon abstract questions of principle as to whether expenditure of this sort ought, as an abstract question, to be provided for out of capital or out of revenue, or how it ought to be provided for in the case of other buildings which might be differently circum stanced. It was suillaiant for him to say that in th e case of the Brighton Railway, at the present momethre he had a very strong opinion, in which he believedet:denry directors universally participated, that it would be very ruinous their ruinous and suicidal policy if they were to capital account, and resort to capital d c heers.) "ture —( ll sar , an necessity of increased expend' • in order r to meet the l There is (continued the Chairman) no doubt ofittle the•fecaboutt that the public at large, who sknow very gemen t, look at the railway accounts and railway result. Their confidence has li;eannatihaken by the broad dividends paid previously and palpable result that the upon, from the - to 1845 and 1846 could not be relied .fact of their being to a great extent eked out of capital; and, th er efore, that confidence never ca n be r estored until the the public at large sees the practical working of during a period of years in which a certain amount railways dividend is paid without auy . 12 y t rhmeauent aceets3iott to the capital account. ....(Cheers.) ought f at the' we assume th at the amount of expenditu re p re sent moment, as a matter of policy , to be takenfrom revenue, th e on l y question remain in g is over what period ought that to be eye s shut Hera I cannotut my spread. to the fact, that ere to take it oat o f t nne of a si ng l e year, or even to spread i t o ver a perio of two or thr ee years, would be press i n g with undue hardship upon a very numerous class of proprietfors, with a very small amount of pro perty; for out o the number of 4,000 holders of the ordinary stock of the Companbe widows, or pers ons of y_ a very . large portion may ender income, to whom the amount of the dividend is a very great considera tion, and I think we should feel it to be a harsh and cruel step to deprive have been led to expect, by peet appropriating a large por tion of the receipts of any particular half-year to per manent i mprovements, the benefits of which would be spread over a very long period. As to the 120,000 L which we talk of spending, the goods stock which will be provided by it will last on the average for ten years, and the goods yard and the line which is t o b e constructed with it will last, one may an ticipate, for nearly a century. The other improvements of stations will all last for a long time—more nearly for a generation, we may say, than for the limite d p eriod of four or five years; and, therefore, if we were to propose that the whole of that amount should be taken out of the dividends in a very short period of time, I think it would be pressing too hard upon a class of our small proprietors, and 1 should be reluct ant to do so, consider ing that though it is of vital importance, that_ we should not resort to capital, but should carrout the principle of keeping our capital account closed , yet I should Le afraid to . try to do too much, or to put the scre w t oo severely upon the present proprietors, by proposing to per-centage-30 or 40 p er cen t. a appropriate to a large_ —to meet it. I thi nk that the pressure would come, not from the proprietors, but that the directors to them selves would be driven interfere , in order to re-open the capital account. I think it is much better to do that which is prudent and practicable than to attempt any thing w hi c h cannot be carried out in practice. Gentlemen, as regards the security afforded to the public by this mode of pro cee di ug, w hi c h, a fter all is , t h e main question, for it i s a ques tion of cosi ro. 1 deuce —by the plan which we propose, in order to • on r. 7is:j red to he raised ror the pie(oee of eaitional ; iceoin), 10 p er cent , w ill b e ta k en every near as sinking fund, and 4 per cent. for req. Therefore, the money which is raised fot those -pesos will be raised in the first instance eti 14 per I think those v.-ho ere at all acquainted s nth. the _dent state of rail Way dividend accounts must be, aware were •so dies of the impossibility of directors, even if t h ey posed. if I may call it cribbing, anything like 14 per cent. from the expenditure, in order to eke out the divi dends of any one half-year. While money i s ra i sed at 4 per met., there is uo doubt an impression Up on t h o mind of the public that auditors and boards of directive; are too fond of ;Tending out of capital instead of out of the current receipts of the year, to some isat ent , to as to eke out the dividend—the inducement bei ng to make the dividend as good as possible; for I need not say that directors always like to meet their proprietors with the announcement of as good u. dividend as possible. It is pleasanter to meet the body of proprietors with a good dividend than with a bad one; and with capital raised at 4 per cent. no doubt there is tin opening for assisting your revenue to same extent out of your capital; but when you come to pay 14 per cent. upon your immediate outlay, as will be the cese now, unless you suppose gross and palpable dis honesty on the part of the directors, and equally gross and palpable supineness on the part of the bitiaretioMere, it would be utterly impossible to conceive that the effect of this arrangement could be to enable us to pay better dividends than, had been honestly and legitimately earned. This, then, is the recommendation, and I think that recommendation will be distinctly understood from the report; it is that 10 per cent. upon any addi tional outlay beyond the 7,200,0001 is to be taken at the end of ecla year as a sinking fund, in addition to the currant interest which would he payable on that amount. I will only say oee word more to point out. to the propriet ors h ow that probably may eff..et our position for th e next year or two. We have been accustomed, as you know, to lay asid e towards the accumulation from ieringaccumulation of a reeisree 10,0001. to 15,0001. c year out. of ( tt a s r u a n t e v t e r r e e ve • fund. The obiect of that reserve fund WIIS always un derstood to be to create such a fund as might . rseet any extraerdinary accident or unusual expenditure in any particular year, more particularly under t h e b ead of " permanent way." lii case or a bridge or a tunnel fall ing in, or any slips upon the line occurring, or any Ile. ceszity arising suddenly and unexpectedly. it wa s te l t to be important that we should have a fund in hand, accu mulated out of the revenue, to which. we could resort, without beim , " driven to the alternative, either of effect ing the workout of the dividend of any particular half year, or of re-opening our capital account. That re serviced fund has now reached the stiapunt of 36,0004 which, with interest. will soon amount to about 40,000/. I confees, acc - Jrding'f - c - ;r • -- view or the case, that that sum may be cons •'• e - sufficient tor the pur pose, for which that re ae. .und was destined. I think 40000/, is,. quite ':such as there is any like lihoodsof cur being called eon to spend in any perti cultkirsitPtale or any pe. deader year, to meet any ex traordinary casualties., in . the permanent way. It will „ m a te e e eseeeereOW and replace quite us num% of the per • manent way in any one year as we could do, without an entire euspension of the whole of our traffic, and would repair any extraordinary casualty that could be contem plated as likely to affect the truths.. I think, therefore, that if a burden to the extent of 10,0001. or 15,0001. in a year falls upon us, under the head of sinking fund, iu order to meet the expenditure required by'our traffic, by the time that burden falls upon us we shall be quite in a condition to discontinue the further accumulation of a reserved fund. The practicl eff,ct will be that we shall continue to set aside tee sum of from 10,000/, to 15,0001. a year out of the revenue; only, instead of setting abide the whole as a reserve fund, we shall net aside the same amount, either wholly or partially, as a 'sinking Iliad. I believe, put it as you will, that it will be found to bo the result in all railways, either that their capital accounts cannot be closed, or they must be satis fied to set aside some portion of their revenue in each year in some shape or other, either in the shape of a sinking fund or a reserved fiend, to meet the addi clonal outlay which it is quite certain they will be exposed to so long as the traffic continues, as at present, to develop itself and to increase. With an increasing traffic you cannot have a closed capital account, unless you are pre pared to make some sacrifice of the revenue. It will come to this,—are you prepared to submit to a certain moderate sacrifice out of the present dividend, or do you prefer tho alternative of having the capital account re opened? I say submit to a moderate deduction from your current dividends—submit to set aside 10,0001. to 15,0001. a year which you have been accustomed to set aside, and I believe the effect will be that,the value of your property will stand very much higher after ao doing than it would do in the alternative, even although in doing so you were enabled to eke out your dividend. —(Hear, hear.) Ido not know that I have anything more to trouble you with, gentlemen. I shall therefore sit down by moving, " That the report now read, with the half-yearly:statement of accounts, be received."
