Marriaga rewires the fulfilment of several conditions. In order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which mem the origin of domestic wretchedness, he raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointanents. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused the protfic source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutloStal and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and con:sequence of whieh this Treatise professes to dilate, aro productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, ban any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account if the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation •f the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired is early lite or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that those complaints are beyond the roach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical Man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LAVME UT has obtained the Ilighest medical honours, as his diplomas ce rtify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

Mr. James O'Leary in the chair. The secretary read the report, of which the following are the principal fea tures:—" That it is deemed neccsssary to establish . a Trades AssOciation,' in order to work out an amelio ration in the condition of the people by legal and consti tutional means—that .Parliamentary approbation be re quested for the rules—that the land ought not to be possessed exclusively by a fractional portion of the com munity—that the laws which fix the price of gold and restrict its expansion should be repealed, and a repre sentative currency issued—that machinery should be taxed for reve:me purposes, and foreign manufac tures equal:zed in price to our own in the home market--that education and employment be provided by the Govern ment for the people." It then goes on to recommend that home colonies should be established on the waste lands in tho United Kingdom, likewise elective franchise to every: man twenty-one years of age, and concluded by suggesting a graduated property-tax in lieu of other imposts. The latter part of the document merely con tained rules for the formation of the association. The further consideration of the reivrt was then adjourned to a future meeting. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. BRISTOL AND EXETER. _ The twenty-fourth half- yearly meeting of this com pany was held at Bristol on Thursday; Mr. J. Buller in the chair. The report stated that the half•year's fixed rent from the Great Western Company amounted to 35,9781. ; the tollage on 298,703 passengers, at id. per mile, 9,4391 ; and on 68,447 tons of goods, at -id. per ton per _mile. 3,027/. ; total revenue, 48,444/. The increase over the corresponding half of last year is 9911. The capita) account to the 30th of June showed that 2,616,012/. had been received, and 2,538,0501 expended, including 277,8111 subscriptions to other companies, leaving a ba lance at the bankers of 77,9621. The clear disposable balance of the revenue account is 29,933 L, which pro vides for the usual dividend of 4f per cent. per annum on the 15,000 whole shares, of which 861. have been paid up, and leaves a reserve of 1,3051. to be carried to the next half-year. The dividend is 1/. 18s. 3d. per 1001 share, free of income-tax for the next half-year. The Acts for the branches from Taunton to Castle Cary, and from Bleadon to Wells, Glastonbury, and Street, for the purchase of the Glastonbur) Canal, and to subscribe the sum of 7,500/. to the Plymouth Great Western Dock Company, received the Royal assent. An extension of two years has been granted for purchase of land and the construction oi the Durston and Yeovil and the Crewkerne branches. The branch to Tiverton was opened on the 12th of June, and there is good ground to believe that the traffic will produce a reasonable return for the outlay. The direc tors are adopting the needful measures for securing sufficient stock of plant to work the line independently at the expiration of the lease in May next, and the en gineer is engaged in preparing plans for workshops'and other conveniences. The total amount of expenditure on . account of the main line was 1,985,053/.; the outlay on account of the branches and for Parliamentary and other expenses was , 274,1841.; the payments on account of South Devon and Cornwall Railway shares, and Ply mouth Great Western Dock shares, were 277,8121. The CHAIRMAN, on moving that the report,be adopted, said that there had been a considerable increase in• the amount of rent and share* of tolls which had been paid them by the Great Western Company during the last half-year as compared with the preceding year of 1847. Such an increase as this would be most satisfactory under any circumstances; but was particularly so at present, when distress and privation prevailed to so great an extent. This proved most satisfactorily the sound nature of the undertaking. That increase was in number of passengers 8f per cent., and on tolls. 6/ per cent. ; on goods the numbers were 7f per cent., the tolls 15 per cent.:—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) He wished to call attention to the opening of the branch . to Tiverton, an event which had been looked forward to with con siderable interest and anxiety. He enlarged on the importance of the railway to Tiverton. He had to in fern them that the Bills they had solicited in Parlianient had been carried, and, with one single exception, all they had opposed had failed. As regarded their own success ful efforts, thei line from Taunton to Castle Cary had been originally proposed as possessing considerable ad vantages, by affording to the west of England that com munication which bad been so much desired, as shorten ing the distance between the west of England and London, and they proposed to accomplish this plan with the least possible outlay of money. The Chairman pro ceeded to say, the South-Western Company was either the most simple or the most generous of companies. How could they compete with the Bristol and Exeter Company and the Great Western Company, passing as their proposed line, if it was ever completed, would, through a most unpromising and unfortunate country ? He described the nature and advantages of the Bills they bad obtained during the present session.' With regard to the progress of the South Devon Railway, there were no parties who had so large a holding in the South Devon stock as the Bristol and Exeter Rail way Company. For some time the directory had felt the utmost anxiety as to the success of that undertaking and the experiment as to atmospheric traction, and after a protracted inquiry it was only the day before yester day they came to the conclusion that they would sus pend the working of the atmospheric systenr.—(Cheers.) He concluded by remarking that" as the lease of the Great Western Railway would now shortly expire, plant must therefore be provided to work the line on their own account. _ _ The resolution for the adoption of the report was then seconded, and carried unanimously. Considerable discussion ensued as to the propriety of opening a negotiation with the Great Western Railway Company, which terminated in the matter being left in the hands of the directors. The usual resolutions were moved,- seconded, and carried unanimously ; also a further one, that all shares on which the first, second, and third calls had not been paid up by the 21st of September next, should be for feited. A dividend was declared of 1/. 18s. 3d., or 4} per cent. - A vote of thanks was , then passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. _ EABV ANGLIAN. The hiftrzyerair-goatnricr-me••...-....-;...i.----........i,, held on Wednesday att the London Tavern, Mr. Henry Bruce in the.chair. The preliminary business having been disposed of, The SECRETARY read the report. It stated that the present weekly revenue of the company averaged 6001. per week, being an increase upon the results of the last report of more than 40 per cent. It then set forth that the interests of the company have been, and continue to be, seriously_affected by the non-completion of the line between Swan= and Dereham, a portion of the rail ways which the directors regard as likely to be very productive. They are happy to state that this line will be ready for public nse in the course of a few days, and the communication between Lynn and Dereham, and thence to Norwich and Yarmouth, will thereby be completed. Some further time, however, must elapse before adequate provision can be made for the goods traffic. The additional capital created under the resolu tions of the last meeting, so far as it has been yet taken, is in course of payment, and the directors are availing .themselves of the portion of these receipts applicable to improvements to place the business arrangements of the company upon a more satisfactory foot ins; but a reference to the financial statement con tained in their last report will show that a considerable further portion of this stock must bo taken up before they can afford those facilities for traffic 'without which Theyth ere h s resources e s also, o your u r r s a u i lwa an : y e s o c f a t n h n e o i t n b t i e tu f yd o n e c o v e n op v c3 e , e d. d in the last report, directed their particular attention to anre Norfolk sbeing m ayEbt saet arrangementstaken oni n ny o be w Ayi : i t n i te p hi cn r i o o s m g c r op es s the subject of coal traffi c , an d t h ey b e li eve that by th e satisfactory a s b u u r s e i a department. very n a j n u y n c incorporated h e u n a e u h t T i o t r h i e . ties at Lyun, and other influential interests,.to give effect to that Act, whereby the channel will be greatly im proved and deepened, and Lynn will be rendered acces sible to vessels of very large burden. This mestsu're, when carried out, will render Lynn the most advan tageous port for vessels plying to and from all the northern parts of England, Scotland, and the Continent, and will have a most important influence upon the inte rests of this company by adding largely to its revenue. The company's extensive and very valuable property at the harbour (bounded on ono side by the Ouse and on the other by the Yar), and the facilities there afforded for the loading and unloading of sea- borne goods, will enable them to accommodate this expected increase of traffic without the necessity of further pur chases of land. The accounts to the 30th of June showed that 1,176,263/. had been received, including 7,2541., th e net produce of traffic, and 1,167,10 41 . expended, leaving a balance of 9,188/. at the bankers. Mr. BRUCE, the chairman, moved, and Mr. CARDEW seconded the adoption of the report. Mr. PUNCREA moved as an amendment, " th that e re port, with the accounts , be not received, but that a com mittee be appointed of not less than five shareholders, with the chairman and another director, to examine into the condition of the company's affairs ; that they report to the company; and that this meeting adjourn till that report be made." Mr. Puncher entered at great length into the financial statement, but his remarks bore more upon the slovenly manner in which he alleged it had been drawn up than upon its entire inaccuracy. Mr. COLEDEN seconded the amendment, and a long discussion ensued embracing every subject connected with the past mismanagement or the present management of company's affairs. Finally the amendment was lost, and the original mo tion, " that the report be adopted," was carried by a con siderable majority. MARYPORT AND CARLISLE. The half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders in the above company was held on Wednesday at Mary- port; Mr. P. L. 13. Dykes, of Whitchaven, chairman of the board of directors, presided. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, re marked, that in common with all other railways they had felt the effects arising from the monetary pressure during the last half-year. He was sorry to say that there was a decrease in the traffic for the halt-year amounting to 2,4231., but as that diminution arose chiefly from the traffic in coals it must in a measure be attributed to the unsettled state of the sister country. Every Qffort had been made by the directors to reduce, consistently with the safe working Of the line, the ex penditure, and they were enabled to effect some consi derable reductions. Owing to the bad state of the money market, the directors had been compelled to increase the rate of interest upon loans which they had been forced to contract for carrying on the works. The total amount required to be paid under this head for the half-year was 6,5581. 9s. 2d., which made the total expenditure for the half-year 13,8251. The report stated that the gross revenue for the , half year ending the 30th of June last was 13,6111., showing a decrease of 2,4231. as compared with the correspondiug half-year of 1847, which was principally in the revenue received from coals and coke. Principally owing to the state of the money-market, there had been an increase in the item of " Interest," making a total expenditure for the half-year of 13,8251. The directors bad entered into an arrangement with the Carlisle, Annan, and Liverpool Steam Company, for the running of their boat Royal Victoria in conjunction with the railwa y , between n o o neea tiehn foriticiirgy charged underht.

After much discussion on the present - state and fu ore prospects of the company, a committee was ap pointed to negotiate with the York,' Newcastle, and Berwick Railway Company," for the sale or lease of this line to them. The retiring directors and "auditor' Were unanimously re-elected. It was proposed and carried; that in future :.he remuneration to the - auditors should be 101. per an num each. -- - e. The proceeding's concluded . a vote of thanks to he Chairman and ditectors for their - " services.' TAW VALLEY. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Thursday, at the London Tavern ; Cooper in the chair. The report stated that during the past half-year the progress of the works had been very limited, that a call of 21. per share was made, payable in March last, 4nd a further call would be payable in October next. The directors congratulate the shareholders on the successful termination of the long pending application to Parliament of their allies the South-Western Company, for powers to extend their railway from Salisbury, by way of Yeovil, to Exeter. The directors regret that the Bills for leas in the railway to the South-Western Company, and for making a junction line from the South-Western central station in Exeter to Cowley-bridge on the Exeter and Crediton line, have not received the sanction of Parlia ment. The provisional agreement for the lease between this company and the South-W es t er n C om p a ny pro vides that either party may upon notice terminate the agreement. Should the application to Parliament be unsuccessful, although several communications have been made to the South-Western ecimpairry.—the directors have not been able to arrive at any definite arrangement on the subject. Some of the South-Western directors are about to go over the line and works on the sth of September, but the difficulties imposed upon t hi s com pany by the decision of the Railway Board on the gauge question, the rejection of tile leasing Bill by Parliament, stad the present state of monetary affairs, requite the serious attention of the shareholders. That the directors will gladly concur in any measure that may be con idered conducive to the general interests of the com pany. The engineer's report stated that the second contract, extending from Barnstaple towards Ifulberleigh-bridge, about 6i miles, with the exception of the bridge over the Tarr, at Barnstaple, is nearly completed, and a consider able portion of this, and of the line from Barnstaple to Fremington ballasted, and a single line of permanent way laid. The accounts to the 30th of. June showed that 133,5911. was received, and 132,5041. expended, leaving a balance of 1,087/. The CHAIRMAN, on moving the adoption of the re port, stated that every effort had been made by the di rectors; aided by the South-Western Company, to obtain power to rescind the decision of the Railway Commis sioners with respect to the gauge of the line. That company had expressed their willingness to take a lease of the line, and carry out their agreement independent of the gauge question, whether the broad or the narrow gauge was imposed on them, although it might involve additional expense. It was quite certain that the deci sion of the Railway Commissioners bad involved them in considerable difficulty, and had nearly the effect of preventing the construction of their line. Mr. BAILDON seconded the motion. In reply to questions, it was stated that the South- Western Company held 6,850 shares in the Taw Vale Company, that they bad paid 61. per share on them, and advanced 6,300/., making the total contribution 47,0001. Mr. Devr moved an ,amendment, " That it was de sirable, if possible, to effect a sale of th e un d er t a ki ng to the Bristol and Exeter Company. He believed that the latter company were quite ready to fulfil every en• gagement that they had formerly entered into with this company. The amendment was not seconded. Mr. CARDEN said he was a large holder of shares in the company, and would propose an amendment, which be hoped would give them the opportunity of treating with either company. His object was to get the best terms he could, and give a value to his property. He concluded by moving "That the reception of the report be adjourned to the 17th of October next; that a committee of five shareholders be appointed to inquire into any negotiation with other compa nies with reference to selling or leasing the Taw Vale Railway and Dock; and to conclude such negotiations, to, enter into new ones with other companies, subject to the approbation of the shareholders; that Mr. R. Car den, Mr. J, H. Jay, Mr. J. Hill, Mr. J. D. Williams, and M. W. M'Murray be such committee; and that the soli citor and, the secretary to the .cornpany be instructed to attend - snob committee when required, and to give such information as may be necessary." Mr. jr.s second - ad tint motik4l3. Alter a long discussion the resolutions wore amended, to the effect, " That the report should be printed and cir culated amongst the proprietors, and the meeting ad journed to the 17th October; and that the committee should have power to continue such negotiations, and to report the result to the adjourned meeting of the pro prietors; that a special meeting also be called for the lith of October, to take into consideration any propo sition that may be submitted." The resolutions, as amended, were put and carried unanimously, as was also a resolution directing the inte rest at the rate of 5 per cent. por annum, to be payable on the 16th of October. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meet ing separated. EAST LOTHIAN CENTRAL. The half-yearly general meeting of this railway waa held at Edinburgh on WednQsday; Mr. 11. M. Davidson in tho chair. When the proposal was made to attach the seal of the company to the register, Mr. Y. DREW, of Glasgow, entered his dissent, as he had done at the last meeting, in consequence of the scrip holders not being recognised. „ - After the seal was attached the report of the directors was read by the secretary. It stated that the company ' were precluded from taking any steps for the execution of their works till the 20th of December next, in cense quecce of having come under the Chancellor of tho Ex chequer's Act, and the lino was, therefore, in the same state that it was at the last meeting. The directors had, however, since that period, been engaged with legal proceedings, in consequence of the protect which was lodged by Mr. Drew at the last meeting against the completion and authentication of the register in terms of the statute,' by including in the register the names of the original ullottees of the scrip which had not been sent in for registration ; and also in con sequence of a note of:a suspension and interdict, which had been presented by a shareholder for the purpose of having the directors debarred from issuing to any third party the sealed certificates for the stock represented by the stock which he held. The opinion of the loord Ad vocate had been obtained ,on the point which was raised by Mr. Drew, and ho approved of the course which had been adopted by the directors; and in reference to the other point raised, on the 15th of last month the Lord Advocate had pronounced a judgment, the effect of which was to fix the liability of shareholders upon the original allottees in respect of those shares for which scrip was not sent in for registration, and as a neces sary consequence to authorise the issue of the corre sponding sealed certificates. This decision, however, had been declaimed against; and although the directors felt assured that it would be confirmed by the Inner House, they were reluctantly compelled to suspend the issue of the sealed certificates to shareholders who were not in possession of the scrip until the decision of the Court of Session was obtained. The sealed h th o e lde d r i s re w et h o o rs h in ad t d b u e ly me s a e n u t t im i neser i certificates had th ere f ore only been i ssue d to share p were fo p r r r e e r g a i r s e t d r a t t i o o n r (2 ; c but eg . Mae the parties whose names appeared on the register as the real shareholders of the company in all other re spects. The report then stated that the application to the Commissioners of Railways for the further exten sion for two years of the time for the completi on o f t h e works had been complied with. In conclusion, th e di rectors suggested in the present depressed state of t ra d e, and in the present difficulties of the money m ar k et, t h at thethe considerationcompany s of h o t u h l e d f übteurdeeplaoliecd till the next y of the pr ocee di ngs of half yearly meeting in February. In answer to a question from a Shareholder, The CHAIRMAN stated that the total sum in the hands of the company was 12,4821. Mr. LYON, broker, moved the adoption of the report; which was agreed to, Ile then moved, ” That Mr. James Aitchison, of Alderston, be re-elected one of the di• rectors; and that Mr. Thomas Toddrick, banker, IIad• dington, be elected in the room of the director who had retired." Mr. DREW, Glasgow, moved, as an amerdment, " That Mr. James Orr and Mr. Patrick Dugald, jun., be appointed directors; Ile did so because these gentle men would do all they could, to prevent the commence went of the undertaking, which he was convinced would never pay, being one of, the maddest p ro j ects that was ever started in the midst of the railway mania. Mr. PAEDURN differed from Mr. Drew. He considered this line a first-rate one, and had every confidence in the directors, who declared that it was riot to be pressed iorward till the money market warranted it. On a division there were 859 votes for Mr. Lyon's motion, and 193 for the amendment ; and the motion 666. The meeting then separated. was consequently declared carried by a majority of of this c ompany was held Thee Wednesday, LONDONDERRY AM) COL ERAINE. on s i- d 3 ; e y a , r a ly t th m e c o et fil h c i . g es, Church-passage, Guildhall, Mr. J. G. Frith in the chair. The report stated, that if the works for the reclama tion of the land be prosecuted on the plan proposed by a contractor, the water may be shut off the central inclosuro in eighteen months from the time of the works being resumed, and at a cost of 70,000/., leaving the further outlay necessary for completing tacit J;Li.; o---, . Id Cli: 9 SEPTEMBER 2, 1848. the undertaking as a permanent wurk to be spread over an extended period. The directors have recently rffveted arrangementil respecting "4,000 acres of land which were reserved foi-the original undertakers, whose repre sentatives stipulated that the reclamation should be completediby the 4th day of August, 1849." This pan uty was to be ti]ken out of the. centre reclamation. By one of such arrangements, 2,ooor.cres'of 'hat land, esti mated at 100,000/. will become the available property of the company, uppn ps3ment of 20,0001. and interest in instalments, terminating at the end of next •year,' by which that liability will be removed, and the ultimate adiantages to the company greatly increased. To carry out this arrangement, it will only be necessary to wake calls to the extent of 21. 10s. per share, payable in two instalments between the present time and the next half-yearly meeting, which, with the arrears now due, will also 'enable them to carry on the works advantageously up to that period. That the repre sentative of the other 2,000 acres has offered to limit his claim to 1,000 acres .out of the centre ihclosure, postponing the other 1,000 acres to be provided out of future reclamation, upon the: understanding that the re clamation be immediately prosecuted. The result of these united arrangements will be, that when the middle in closure is completed, there will bo land, at a moderate 'estimate, of the value of. 350,0091;, upon which to raise the funds towards the entire completion of the whole undertaking. With refcrence, to the arrangement of capital, authorised by the amended Act, the directors suggest that the existing .501. shares, with 271. 10s. paid, shall be divided into ope share of 251. with all paid, and to half shares.of 121. 10s., with 11. ss. paid upon each; and that only such shares be made preference as are created to replace the capital represented by the forfeited and extinguished shares. Such preference shares to be offered to the present proprietors in proportion to the number held by theca; and in the event of their not being so taken up, to :.be disposed of by the directors. The directors are -sting advised that Mr. Dims dale has no maintainable claim; but that. even were it possible for him to succeed in establishing the claim put forward, it would , extend over a very small portion of the reelamatimmiow.beiugoso4olo44olo4,-.... The Accounts to the, aist. 221,0921 had been received • and. 220,606/. expended; leaving a balance of 4651. . The CHAIRMAN said, on moving the adoption of the report, that if the proprietors had any doubts with res pect to the Plan-proposed for reclaiming the land, they could appoint a deputation to gO over and inspect the works. It was approved of by Mr. Giles, the engineer, who has had great experience of such works in Hol land. He had been told by Mr. Dargon, the contractor, that it could-be easily and rapidly executed. Mr. W.AnEi said, their great object-would be to raise the money. Redid not think that a call of 21. 10s. per share would be sufficient 4 it would :not: do more than raise half the money they required. He thought that companies in their position were deserving of Govern ment aid. Mr. B. HALL supported the views of Mr. Waley, and urged that the works should be proceeded with. Mr. CROSS (one of the late deputation to the works) strongly advocated the prosecution of the works. Th — e;eport was unanimously adopted. - - After some conversition, dt - was - agreed that a call of 2/. 10s. be mad 6, and that 20,0001. be paid for the land mentioned in the report. Two of the three retiring di rectors were ,re-elected; the other director not having attended the board or meetings, it was considered use less to re-elect him. Mr. Waley, the auditor, was re elected. The meeting was then made special, and -a resolution passed authorising' the directors to divide the shares as recommended in the report. • A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Cress and Mr. Gladdish, the members of the late deputation to the works. Thanks wore also voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated. EAST -INDIAN. The first half-yeirly meeting of this company was held at the London Tavern on Wednesday; Mr. H. A. Aglioliby, M.P., in the chair. . • • The report stated ,that- the circulation of unfounded statements with regard to the undertaking operated so far on the minds of some of the shareholders as to delay the payment of a portion of the last call, which left the directors short of the deposit to the extent of 6,5001. The board made arrangements amongst them selves.and other shareholders for the advance of 14,0001. to enable the board to make the deposit of 60,000/. with the East India Company; bearing interest at five per cent. per annum,•and to retsina. balance in hand for the general purposes of the coMparty.- The expense - of the home establishatent was stated to be 1,3901. per annum, and of the Indian establishment 7,200/. per annum, be sides eleven engineers and one assistant, • whose united salaries amounted to 9,420/. per annum; that if the events which had occurred could have been foreseen when these appointments were made they would not- have taken place: Byarrangements, and a compromise under 6,0001.,, the directors expected to reduce the annual In dian ex,penditure.frons 16,6204 to 6,4801., and a further reduction of 2,0001. on• the return of -Mr. Stephenson. The report referred to the suggestion of Mr. Bourne that a single line of railway, laid on the present road to Mirzapore. - would be the -moot sedeehesegeosee_, the interests of the Government and the company. The" directors stated that, this plan was by, no means new to them, and had already undergone discus sion with officers of the Government of India; that Mr. Bourne bad endeavoured to prove that a sec tion of the line from Calcutta to Mirzapore would only pay a dividend of 355. 9d. per cent., but that Mr. Rends!, the company's engineer, taking Mr. Bourne's estimate, showed that a dividend of 71. 6s. per cent. would be pro duced instead of 355. 9d. It also entered into matters and explanations with respect to the retirement of the directors of the Great Western of Bengal Railway, who had been elected to the East India. Board on the amalga mation of these companies. The directors having made the deposit of 60,0001. with the East India Company, it remained for them to satisfy the Court of Directors of the means of the company to raise a capital of 1,000,0004 and to discuss what portion of the great line from Cal cutta to Delhi-should be first undertaken, and the terms of the contract. The directors proposed that no further call be made on the 37,440 shares now'subscribed in the company without the consent of a special meeting ; that 26,000 shares be issued, credited with 1/. ss. paid on each, and that these shares be offered rateably to the shareholders who shall have duly paid the call of 21. per share, now due,. on or before the 10th of September ; that the calls upon these 26,000 shares be limited to 101. per share ; that the subscribers for the said shares have the option 'of paying up 8/, 15s. at once to . complete the payment of 101. p er s h are ; t h a t o f th e remaining shares,xo- many be issued as, in the judgment of the directors, shall be necessary to make tIIT the capi tal, the. calls on which shall - be limited to 10/. - per share. The directors -were assured that when - once the terms of a contract were arranged with the E a st. India Company, there would be no dearth of - money to complete the fiat section, and no want of capital when that was opened to enter on succeeding portioni of the line. The accounts to the 25th of August, 1848, showed.that the assets were 80,4671., including the deposit of 60,0004 to the East India Company, and that the liabilities amounted to 34,3611., leaving a balance of 46,105/. to meet the amount of 'paid up capital. The Cuernmax, on moving the adoption of the re port, said he had a resolution to propose—" That the board 'be requested to discuss with the Court of Direc tors of the East India Company the portion of the line to be commenced upon, and the terms of the contract relating to it, and that the result, together with full particulars of the cost of traffic, bo submitted to the proprietors at a special meeting to be convened for the purpose of .considering the same, together with the ar rangements with regard. to the forfeited shares. In reply to Irr. FISIXEIk; The CLUIRMAN stated that the report had the cordial assent of the :whole board: , .• . - Mr. DENT asked the ehriirina.ti - to point out how the directors possessed the power to borrow the money al luded to in the report. The CHAIRMAN said the power was in the deed of settlement. Mr. FRESTIFIELD - (the solicitor) read the clause of the deed which authorised the directors to borrow any sum not exceeding 3,000,0001. .to complete•the railway works and carry out- the objects of the undertaking. Mr. DENT was satisfied. • The CHAIRMAN said, if be bad entertained the slightest doubt of its legality and propriety it would not have been done, There was one thing required tocom plete their position with the ,East India Company, and that . was to produce by a given date a good proprietary list to the amount . of 1,000,0001., wh;ch remained partly with the meeting,'" and partly with the - public. A ques don had been raised that the •guarantee of the East India Company was-not a guarantee of 5 per cent. divi dend to the proprietors, but that the- amount' was liable to reduction by the working expenses, in Case the line . did not yield a profit, .and they might , have an actual loss of I or 2 -per : teut t; .He did not believe that any, such construction could be,put upon the guarantee. From all that he hadobserved of the East India Com pany he did not b'elieve that they !jibed any expression of theirs to remain capable:of a double construction. llrrcittss'second,d the motion. lie did not be lieve the statement that no section of the line between Calcutta and Mirzspore would be remunerative, but at the same time he did •not think it would be productive unless it were a trunk line.• . Mr. BEAUDIONV supported the report.. General APLF,on felt called upon to notice a para graph in the report refarring to himself.

On Thursday the half-yearly meeting was held at Edinburgh; Mr. IL Johnstone, .3/P., chairman of the direct Ors presiding. There was a crowded attendance of proprietors. a,bsence of Captain Coddington, the secretary, Mr. GIBsoN read the directors' report. It stated that the op: ring of the Caitlecarybranch on -the 7th ult. had e.tablislitd a communication by _the, Caledonian Rail way, and the. lines in alliance with it,from London to Perth, Stirling, Dendee, 'Arbroath, Forfar, and Mon trose; but•the value of this extension could not be fully established until the connexion, .via Perth, was formed with the Dundee line, and until the trunk line was com pleted to Aberdeen, both Which objects would be effected before the expiration of six months. By - this time they also_ anticipated the . extension of the Garn kirk line into Glasgow, the, completion of ,the Clydes dale JunctiOn and its connexion with the Greenock, Barrhead, and Ayrshire lines, and thraugh the general terminus railway with Glasgow harbour, 'all of which would essentially contribute to the development of the traffic. When they were in operation, there could be no reason to doubt that the shareholders would receive an ample return for . the money they had in vested.-.• Henceforth the shareholders in• the Clydesdale Junction would be entithd to a preferential dividend 'of 27,401 a year, being per cent. on their capital of 450;0001., and its prospects held out a conSiderable sur .plus, beyond the amount of guarantee. The Glasgow and Greenock line would be shortly amalgamated, with the 'Caledonian, audit already realised 4 per cent., the amount of the guarantee: The local traffic of these clis tricts held - out every prospect 'that 'the cotnpany would be relieved from any loss on account of: the arrange . RtiPPrif 414.,44 1 41.4 0 !Jkrt1ema-...iltte eempiee. nies, whilst a great &tuitional - amonat ,of traffic along the main lint , could not fail to be secured by the Ullih terriipted communication with A,'r and Renfrew, and an , cess to the Western Highlands. It was with - much antis faction, the directors intimated, that they . had at last succeeded in effectirig.an arrangement of differences with the Edinburgh and -GlasgoW upon' terms which they considered equitable; but as there were matters of detail that required the sanction of,,southern companies, the details of it 'quid not be announced. The arrears on the several classes of 'shares at the Present time were as follow:—On the 501. shares, 31,1101.; on the Clydesdale Junction, 4,825 L; on. half-shares, 193,6.181.; and in the present - depressed condition of monslary. affaira ;the di rectors hed not been ahle to enfOrce further'payments, and they 'believed there 'was no Other course by which the arrears on these shares could be realised than by the adoption of a proposal made by many of the shareholders for a ,restriction of the half to quarter shires. • The re venueaccounr; after making proviiionfOr the dividend on the Garnkirk andWishaw-works, 'exhibited to balande of 21,408 L, which showed a return of 2} per cent. per' annum; but the directors were of ( - ipinieti that_ it would not be prudent to make adiVidend for this broken period, but that it remain at credit of revenue aercbulit." They considered the result was nevertheless: encduraging. seeing that the traffic of their line was as yet .but im-• perfectly developed, and the receipts had gradually in creased, and showed an advance of 30 per cent since the 30th of June last. The directors recommended the con version into stock of all shares paid in full. The report of Messrs. Locke and Errington, the en• gineers, stated, that the opening Of the Castlecary Ex tension-gave 141 miles of the Caledonian Railway now in operation, and completed a system of railway from Lon don to Montrose of 500 continuous miles. All the works were in good order, and a large labour force had, in addition to that previously employed, been placed on those-in progress, -the Clydesdale Juuotion Motherwell, and Hamilton branches.. The statement-Of the capital account showed receipts:-- 7 Cepital i 50/. a share, called up 2,106,0001.; 'amount in arrears 68,2301.; amount paid, 2,031,7701. ; new capital; - 61. -ss. per: share—amount called up; .293,975/. ; amount of arrears, 101,81 i /4 ; amount paid, 192,1631.

The CHAIRMAN addressed the proprietors in a speech which was principally-confirmatory of the report. The liabilities that bad been, incurred, and the works that would otherwise have been stepped,_ rendered_it imprap • ticable to postpone the. preference share- arrangement. As regarded the guarantees, They would call a special meeting to consider them.•:and the directors were of opinion that it would be advisable toe hold some-of the meetings in London. When the mercantile community was again in activity, they would receive an ample return for their money. The capital -of 5;000,0001: Which - they were authorised to raise, would he sufficient to complete all the works. A long discussion ensued, relative to the anonymous i leileifo r tbat.appeiir•irfis ilrerpers, end - on the topies con tained in the report, in which Messrs. Black/Wrier,. Kynaston, Tite, Colonel Graham Campbell, Sir W . Jardine, Hon. B. Johnstone, and others, took part ; after which' resolutions, confirming the recommendations contained in the report, were carried, and the directors, after a counter proposition, were re-elected. Sir ANDREW AGNI . EW, in -a lengthened speech, pro posed the. suppression of all systematic and premeditated work upon the Sabbath ; "to which Mr. CAMPBELL moved, as an amendment, that " the resolution adopted by a former meeting be agreed to." After a long discussion, the questien was put. to the vote, when' there appeared against the motion 27, and 24 in its favour, the proxiesbeing for Sir A. Agnew's motion, 3,654, and against it 22.013. STIRLING -ANI) DUNFERAILrNE. The'half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of this railway was held on Thursday at Glasgow • Mr. J. Anstruther, Chairman of the Board of Directors, presided.- - The :11AIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said that before the next meeting the line .would be opened for traffic on the Dunfermline contract.; the operations had been confined to the portion lying' to the west of Lord Elgin's Railway, and on which the progress had been very great ; the whole of the cuttings, amounting to 145,000 cubic yards, had been excavated, all the b r idges had been completed, and the greater portion of the.per• maaent way laid. The contractors were proceeding rapidly with the formation of 'tho junction with Lord Elgin's Railway. These works were so far advanced as to insure there completion in the month of October. The other portions of the lino were also rapidly pro. greasing. The report stated, that the only portion that remained uncontracted for was from Stirling to Alloa, five miles. The directors regret there_ is a considerable arrear on the last . two calls, and that they have been compelled to take legal proceedings against defaulters. • The balance sheet showbd the receipts to have been 180,1691., and the expenditure within 39,1761. of that sum. After some slight discussion the report WAS adopted, and a vote of thanks to — the. Chairman closed the pro ceedings. SCOTTISH MIDLAND JUNCTION. The half-yearly meeting was held at Perth on Monday, Mr. Hugh Watson in the chair. The .report stated, that the main lino was now open from end to end, uniting at Perth with the Scottish Central, and the Edinburgh and Northern Railways in the general station, now in progress of completion, and at Forfar, with the Arbroath and Forfar Railway, which again unites with the ,Aberdeen Company's line, now open to Brechin and Montrose. There is thus an unbroken line of railway, on the same guage, from London to .Porth, and .thence by this line, to Forfar, Brechin, Arbroath; and Mortrose, by which the same carriages and waggons may pass with out a ferry, and without a break, from the Euston-square station to all these northern.towna.. The line has not yet been opened for goods 9r•mineral traffic, nKtlier has the connexion b - etween the Dundee and Newtyle line been completed; and the line since opened has been udder other disadvaplages beyond those usual on the opening Of new lines; but that by the lst of SepteMber all will be in order: The directors have 'Made satisfac • tory arrangements with the - Scottish Central and Edin burgh and Northern Companies for the conducting of ; the traffic to and-from Perth, each' company booking L through by the others kryt they have ttlaO effkted ar rangements with the Alier*en Railway Company for the traffic .betwe en Penh • and. places north. of Forfar. .But the - ceininunication bet Ween 'Aberdes9 -and the , 'south-. can-' never be. completed until the: - .straight' line origitially -projeeted - for • the through - vommu nicatlon 'between Aberdeen and the south-be completed.

"The parties were not bound to produce those books,or anything else-which' might crimi nate or reader themselves culpable, - bat he (the Coroner) OW asked that the boelre ifiould be produced. , , Tliereas Littledale Esq., was next examined. , Ho stated that the Cambria steamer passed his yacht when therewere -under latiffinaislabd, and 'the Orion passed them ;before they left Beantuarise 'The ship was about five or six miles to the eastward of the Ormshead, ' About half-past :twelve ,qr ai, quarter to one o'clock, ' when they reutafedthe"head'ot the ship, they observed the smoke of the Cambria. She was going away from thema . His impression was that the Cambria was about five or six miles from the ship. Had any -other boats have come up at the time, we think a great many more lives would have been saved. Crass -examined by Mr. O'Brien, one of the owners of the Cambria—Witness thought he saw other steamers besides the Cambria. He did not know which steamer was nearest to the Ocean Monarch when we got to her. We concluded it was the Cambria, from its having passed us in the morning. By Mr. Wright—We had been observing the Cambria that morning. When off- the Ormshead, about a mile and a half to the northward, we attempted to compare the differeuarates -of speed between my own yacht and the Cambria. She was ' hull down, but hen fore-topsail was , atanctidaiely: above the water.- Our deck - is very low, and my impression-is--ghat she-was about seven miles ' from us. : .-- - . - ' - By Mr. Price—l do not know that the Cambria_ passed ' the Orion: :BY Captain Hunter (captain of the 'Cambriaj-aWhen 'we left Ptah:lsland we had the mainsail, foresail, 'and jib set. ,We had no gafatopsail then.

'Captain - teens like exhibited to the jury a chart of the 'outer:chatinels- of the port, in order, as he:said, to" point out the relative positions of the different iessels at' !the time, to judge of the : assistance . they 7 'bight -have: 'been enabled to have afforded.. Ile then proceeded to" point out the relative positions' of the Cambria, tbe Orion, and .- the Prince of Wales; with respect ,to „that , of. the Ocean. Monarch. The captain of the Prince of Wales, stated that by the-leg,af that vessel : he was, at twenty minutes past one, in a position to see the ship 'en tire, and it seemed quite evident to him (Captain Evans) that if the Prince of Wales at that time,' from the position in which : she was, could see the fire, ami could get in time to save life, and also saw those vessels (the Cambria 'and the Orion) ahead bet Ween the burning ship and the Prince of Wales=ifshe could get up in time to be of service, that both the other vessels - might have done the same, and the whole. question would hinge upon the fact as to where they were at the time. Mr. Littledale had stated at what distanee he had ob served the two steamers, and at the time the fire broke out• it seemed they were very near the burning ship. Then they should next know, and it was esseitial to know that, - thai the trading' vessels generally called at Llanillads for.passengeasi and if the Cambria and Orion had called there, it would brings their 'position- much nearer - to the Ocean Monarch than : had been described . Mr. Littledale said they had only run three miles from the time they saw the Cambria until they saw the ship On fire, and by a patity of , reasoning -the Cambria ought to have been the burning vessel also. • : .. . Edward Brimecorne, mate of the Queen pf the Ocean, . said that they had been at the wreck an hour'before any other vessel came up. At that time the Prince of Wales • and theAffonso came up. Had other boats come up ' when they did a great many more lives might have beat Saved. He was enabled to trace the course the Cambria , was pursuing from the time she went ahead of them at ' Puffin Island up to the time witness observed the Ocean lakinarch. As they neared the Ocean Menatch .he was still enabled- to trace the Cambria. At . the, time they first saw the Ocean Monarch he could see the hull of the Cambria. Judging from nautical' mike, the Cambria' was then about: six miles from them, and about four and . a half from the,Ocean Monarch. There was nothing at all to prevent the position of 'the Ocean Monarch from being seen by the Cambria. The Ocean Monarch was lying in the same course pursued by the Cambria. • By:Captain Evens-a-Had the Cambria turned back, they could have saved more lives than we . did. It was an hour after I first saw the Cambria that the Prince of Wales came up. - The Cambria - could have got to the ship long before the Prince of Wales. She might have reached the ship balf an hour before us. . By Captain alunter—l do not know the rate the Cambria goes. Ido not know whether she goes five Or .. ten miles an hour. • ' Thomas: Wells, master of the yacht, gave similar evi- deuce to Mr. Litticdale and.the last witness,: :.uil. *Sated 1 it as his belief that had the Cambria - come up es greas e number of lives would have been saved. - .. for the new channel, and they Orion were then making ne , /. . saw t the Ocean l3a t 7.llloaten - arool f it, the e n r fi r r in ef e '•T ot he lY : Caim 'ales 'bri sa a. ul an li d e m we: n e ar b el e i t . ween , , the Prince of Wales and the Ocean Byalr.
