LIVERPOOL, MANC H ESTER,AND NE WC ASTLE JUNCTION. Yesterday the adjourned half-yearly meeting and the adjourned extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of this Company were held respectively at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street—George Leeman, Esq. (chairman of the Board of directors), presiding. The adjourned half-yearly meeting was first proceeded with, and in introducing the business, The CHAIRMAN explained that some delay had arisen in effecting the transfer of stock necessary to be made in order to carry out the resolution of the. 24th October last, for the distribution of l Os. per share. That sum had, however, now been divided amongst two-thirds of the total number of share holders, and the remaining third could obtain their quota as soon as they chose to apply for it. lie had also to report that the 15,000/. loan to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company, which at the previous meet ing wag stated to be immediately returnable to this Company, was not, in fact, so payable, and could not be made available to the purposes of a distribution until three months'. notice bad first been given that its repayment was required by This company. The new directors bad, on discovering this mis take, given the requisite notice without delay. They had also found various agreements in existence between this company and different landowners ; and since the last meeting they had likewise received several notices from such landowners, insisting on their right to call upon that company to fulfil certain of its engagements. Since these notifications bad come to hand the directors had been using their best endeavours to accomplish the most advantageous arrangements they possibly could in behalf of the company, and there was every prospect of their successfully doing so in nearly all cases, only they would require in the first instance to be empowered by the present meeting to take the proper steps for settling with the landowners. The directors also found the company to be bound by an agreement with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company, to contribute one-half of the outlay neces sary for constructing three-quarters of a mile of rail way called the Burnley link, and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company declined at present to relieve them from their engagements with regard to this line ; but he hoped they would be induced to reconsider their de cision, and that this company would eventually have to contend against no difficulty whatever on this score. In order to enable the directors to adjust this matter, the meeting would also be called upon to invest them with power to negotiate. Several other engagements had also been entered into by this company, under Acts of Parliament, with the Northern Counties Union Railway, one of which was to construct a piece of line, twelve miles in extent, called the Beadle branch of the York and Newcastle Railway. Now, this was an obstacle in the way of this company winding up its affairs; still they were not liable to be called upon to fulfil this contract until the Northern Counties Union had commenced its own operations; and of this there was very little probability, because he had observed notices (whether issued by the directors of that company or not, he could not say) already adver tised, of an intended application to Parliament for leave to abandon that line. With reward to the loan of 15,0001. to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Com pany, that company held 6,000 shares in this com pany, and 3,0001. had been written off from that loan, in lieu of paying the allowance of 108. per share upon the whole of the 6,000 shares. After some further remarks the chairman concluded by moving : " That powers b© and are hereby given to the directors to negotiate and conclude arrangements with any com pany or companies, landowners or other parties who have or profess to ,have, claims or demands upon this company on any account whatever, and to modify or comprom;se any existing agreements or liabilities on the part of this co npany, and to pay such 5111113 of money for any of the purposes aforesaid as the directors may, in their discretion, think proper." After being duly seconded, this proposition was carried unanimously ; and the adjourned extraordi nary general meeting was next entered upon. The CHAIRMAN then moved— " Th it the r •solution passed on the 33 October last, and subsequently confirmed, for the return of 143. per share on the paid-up capital (an instalment of 10s. per share of which has already been paid) be now again coo firmed; and that the return of the balance of 4s. per shwa ba paid in such instalments and at such times as the directors may think necessary." Mr. PARSONS was anxious to see some more of the money refunded to the shareholders as soon as posible, and wished an early day to, be fixed when a further distribution should take place. The CHAIRMAN said their next half-yearly meeting would be held in February, 1849, and it would then be sufficiently early to attend to Mr. Parson's sug gestion, for he was sure the directors would have enough to occupy them for the whole of the ensuing three months, in concluding the necessary negotia tions with the railway companies and the landowners. He was, however, of opinion that the interest not ex ceeding four per cent. upon the 2/. paid up should be allowed, agreeably to Act of Parliament, before Christmas next, and this would be equivalent to dividing another shilling per share. The motion having been seconded, was then put and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN next proposed that the thanks of the proprietors be given to the committee of share holders recently formed at Manchester for the pur pose of promoting the winding up of the affairs of the company, and the return of the available capital to the shareholders ; and that the directors be authorised to pay the expenses incurred by that committee in prosecuting its labours, from a deduction of any sum not exceeding threepence per share from the amount to be returned to every shareholder. The Chairman said he felt justified in submitting this proposition, because it was mainly owing to the active exertions of the Committee of Shareholders that any money at all had been refunded to the share holders ; and as they had been compelled to expend a considerable sum in paying for stamps, &c., and as the general body of the proprietors had largely par ticipated in the benefits accruing from the successful issue of their agitation, he thought it only just and fair that all parties should contribute to defray the expenses incurred by the committee in their behalf. A PROPRIETOR having seconded the motion, Mr. PARSONS and others strongly opposed it, but, after a warm and protracted discussion, it was orentually carried by a large majority. Thanks were then voted nem. con. to the chairman, and the meeting brake up. A .MALGAMATION OF THE _EASTERN COUNTIES AND EASTERN UNION.

OPENING or RAILW AYS.--The Railway Commis sioners state that.dur i ng the. last ttwo years a very large addition has been made to the extent of railway opening fur traffic. At the end of 1845, 2,44/. wiles [PRICE SD. were available to the public ; 595 miles were opened in 1846, and 780 miles in 1847, making the whole extent of railways completed at the end of 1847, 3,816 miles; of which 3,257 were in England, 440 in Scotland, and 219 in Ireland. Between Nov. 1846, and the end of 1847, the Commissioners directed pre liminary inspections, prior to public openings, in 100 instances. In 21 cases it was considered necessary by the Commissioners, on considering the reports of the inspecting officers, to postpone the opening of either the whole or a part of many of the railways inspected, and, in more than one instance, to point out to the company applying for the inspection, the im propriety of requiring the attendance of a public officer before the works were sufficiently advanced to justify iheir proposal to open them to the public. In 40 cases, when allowing the opening, the Commis sioners thought it necessary for the public safety, to make suggestions respecting a temporary or perma nent restriction of the speed on certain portions of the line, and as to the arrangement of signals. DISCONTINUANCE OF RETURN TICK ETS.—Great dissatisfaction exists in the West of England and other districts at the sudden discontinuance of the return ticket system, which hitherto, for the accom modation a first and second-class passengers, had been carried out at a reduction of the fares of from one-third to one-sixth on the double journey. A passenger was privileged to use these tickets for any distance not exceeding fifty miles on the same day, and if issued on Saturday they were returnable on Monday. An appeal is talked of on the subject to Parliament and the Board of Trade, the proceeding being looked on in the light of a breach of faith to wards the public, who, on the strength of the conve nience and facility offered, have permanently settled on the line. Many who have hitherto travelled by. rail fur short distances by this method have deter mined to take to their vehicles and horses, and those Who hitherto - went first-class have, it is said, resolved to go second. The London and Brighton have an nounced that they do not intend to follow this practice. The argument on the part of the rail way companies, in justification of the measure, appears to be that the return -ticket system, adopted with the view ofwhat is called " forcing traffic,' does not answer unless it be on purely pleasure lines, such as the London and Brighton, and South Devon, on which latter the re turn system is continued, and that it interferes disad vantageously with the business traffic of commercial lines. By the return and periodical system on the Brighton line, a man may go to and fro between London and Brighton as often as he pleases for 121. for one month, 201. for two months, 251. for three months, 351. for six months, and 501. for a year. ULSTER RAILWAY--REDUCTION OF FARES. --We perceive by a notice that third-class passengers will be conveyed by the Parliamentary up and down trains, at the former rates, viz. :—Belfast to Lisburn, 4d.; Moira, Bd.; Lurgan, Is.; Portadown, Is. 4d.; Rich-hill, is. Bd.; Armagh, 2s. This reduction only extends to eight o'clock morning trains. The departure of luggage trains has been altered to seven o'clock A.M., and two o'clock P.M.—Armagh Guardian. BELFAST AND BALLYMENA RAILWAY.-The traffic on this railway, for the week ending Saturday, the 11th of November, 1848, was as follows :-Passen gers, 6,918 ; amount, 2801. Bs. 3d. ' • goods, 101/. 6s.

AMIENS AND BOULOGNE.—In reply to the memo rial of the proprietors to the French Government, it appears probable that although, in the event of ap prehended disturbances, the expensive police staff on the line will not be reduced, it is likely that relief will be granted with respect to other imposts, and that a larger amount of remuneration will be given for the conveyance of the mails. FRENCH RAILWAY LAW FOR THE PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTS.—The orders issued by the Minister of Public Works upon this important subject are, that the employment of four-wheeled locomotives for passenger trains be interdicted, that every carriage do rest on six wheels at least, in order that if one of the axles should break the carriage should still rest on supporters and continue its course. Locomotives to be placed at the head of the train, and never behind. At least one luggage carriage always to be placed at the head of each train of five carriages, and two car riages without passengers, when the carriages in the train shall exceed five. Carriages with passengers never to be locked.

Tho visit from Franco of the National Guard Is a capital theme for the mercantile bard, Who, with every good Englishman, heartily cries— " Three cheers for our neighbours and friendly allies." The National Guard, from accounts that are written, Seem highly delighted at visiting Britain, And wherever the good /allic strangers have been, They've declared themselves pleased at the sights they have seen. The writer of this being present, for one, • When the National Guards came to MOSES and SON, Can attest to the pleasure which each seemed to show As he wond'ring stroll'd through the mighty depot, Not ono of the visitors failed to admire Tho shops set apart for the sale of ATTIRE. They noticed the mart in its business design, And they noticed the dress, which they thought very fine. At the sight of the fashions each heart seemed to glow (And Frenchmen are judges of fashion, you know), And every owe gave the peculiar shrug On seeing the Over-Coats, stylish and snug, Not a guard did I notice but seemed to be won By the elegant dresses of MOSES and SON. After they inspected thHelTime pr S AND CAPS, . In which you'll imagine some time would elapse, And I scarcely need say that the National Guard, On seeing the goods, stared remarkably hard, Such indeed was the case, and I didn't see one Who gave not due credit to MOSES and SON. . They nes: made their way to the prime BOOTS AND SNOW'S, Which of course they had ne disposition to lose, And here (for I judge from the shrug and the start), : They were equally pleased with the grand City Matt i I And I certainly thought they were "sensible Sirs," I When I saw haw delighted they were with the.

And having applauded these winter affairs, They looked at the OUTFITS AND HOSIERY TriltES, Which goods pleased them well, as the ethers had done, 1 And caused them to compliment MOSES and SON.

The Queen and Prince Albert took their usual early morning walk. The Royal Family walked and rode this morning in the grounds adjacent to the Castle. The Right lion. Sir George and Lady Grey took theirldeparture from the Castle this forenoon. The Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert left the Castle this afternoon, at half-past two o'clock, on a visit to her Majesty the Queen Dowager, at the Priory, Stanmore. The royal suite consisted of the Marchioness of Douro, Lady in Waiting to the Queen ; Hon. Miss Kerr, Maid of Honour in Wait ing ; Lord Waterpark, Lord in Waiting ; and Colo nels Buckley and Seymour, Equerries in Waiting. The royal escort consisted of a troop of the 2d Regiment of Life Guards. Major Robinson and Captiin Henderson had an in terview with Earl Grey yesterday, at the Colonial office. Sir Thomas Fremantle, Chairman of the Customs, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Ex chequer yesterday. Colonel Maberly had also an in terview with the Right Hon. Baronet, at his official residence in Downing-street. The Earl of Clarendon visited Lord John Russell, yesterday, at Pembroke Lodge, Regent's Park. Sir George Grey arrived in town yesterday, from Windsor Castle. Mr. Jopp, of Aberdeen, and Captain Forth, had interviews yesterday with Earl Grey, at the Colonial office. THE ROYAL VISIT TO BENTLEY PRIORY. Yesterday, her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert left Windsor Castle, to pass a few days with the Queen Dowager, at Bentley Priory, near Stanmore. The Earl Howe and the Earl of Denbigh arrived at the Priory on Tuesday, and a select circle had the honour to receive invitations to meet the Queen and the Prince Consort. It having been publicly announced that her Mn- j‘sty would arrive at Stanmore yesterday, a great concourse of persons, inhabitants of the neighbour ilg villages and hamlets, collected at the principal entrance to the park, and many of the scholars from Harrow School, and numerous gentry, were to be seen among those assembled to give her Majesty a hearty welcome. A strong body of the police were in attendance, but, from the well-conducted bearing of the crowd, not the slightest disorderly proceeding demanded their interference. The two royal carriages, with her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by the Marchioness of Douro, the Hon. Miss Kerr, Lord Waterpark, Col. Buckley, and Col. Seymour, were escorted from Windsor Castle to Uxbridge by a troop of the Life Guards. On reaching Uxbridge the military escort was relieved by the 11th Hussars, under the com man d of Lieutenant S y k es, who conducted the royal cor tege to Pinner, where another troop of that regiment, commanded by Lieutenant Cresswell, relieved them and attended on her Majesty to the Priory. At precisely t wen t y -fi ve minutes to five o'clock, her Majesty and the Prince Consort reached Bentley Priory, the illustrious visitors being enthusiastically cheered as the royal carriages entered the park. The Queen and the Royal Prince were received at the porch by the Earl Howe and the Earl of Den bigh, as chief officers of the Queen Dowager's House hold ; Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, and Vis countess Barrington, by whom her Majesty and the Prince Consort were conducted to the saloon, from whence the Dowager Queen and the Princess Louisa Hohenlohe Schillingsfurst advanced to meet her Majesty and Royal party. Lord and Lady Ashley and Captain Hamilton. R.N., arrived shortly afterwards. At eight o'clock dinner was announced, covers being laid for twenty-four guests, the circle consisting o f the Queen Dowager, the Queen and his Royal High ness Prince Albert, his Serene Highness Prince Ed ward of Saxe Wiemar, her Serene Highness the Princess Louisa of Hohenlohe Schillingsfurst, the Marchioness of Douro, the Earl Howe, the Earl of Denbigh, Viscount and Viscountess Barrington, Lord Waterpark, Lord and Lady Ashley, the Hon. Wil liam and Mrs. Ashley, the Hon. Miss Kerr, the Hon. Miss Boyle, Colonel Buckley, Colonel Seymour, Captain Bedford, Captain Hamilton, the Rev. G. T. Hudson, &c. The otherwise retired village of Stanmore was all bustle and excitement in the evening, the shopkeepers POLISH BALL A T GUILDHALL. (From the Morning Advertiser.) By the kind forbearance of the Times, this evening " they who are perpetually wafting a sigh to the Poles are determined on easing their sorrows by a dance in the City, and the City authorities follow the precedent of former years, by granting the use of Guildhall." This privilege is granted on the condition that the City au iherifie s, and those who go to the ball, "must prepare to receive and accept applications for their favour on other occasions, when British patronage and British polkas will be danced for the- benefit of those who are suffering at home, without the attendant blessiug of 'ski' or an 'off' to their vulgar names." Without pausing to indicate the taste with which our contemporary ex prieses his sensibility, so much offended by the vulgarity of Polish names, we must congratulate the Poles that (hey come off so well, after the effort which has been made to damage their cause in the article from which these eiegantice are selected. The thunders of Blackfrisrs have been let loose most unmercifully ; they have sounded and resounded from Pole to Pole, and yet as we mentioned yesterday, the demand for tickets Las been incessant, not one lady having been -intimidated by the authoritative announcement, that she ought not to go. The cause of failure is worth a little inquir y. It may b., perhaps, that the voice of that paper is not deemed worthy of very high regard on any subject in which ,the interests of humanity and charity are con cerned. We have had occasion to comment sometimes on the coarse mirth and levity with which our contem porary is accustomed to indulge in reference to serious, important, and laudable objects. A man who gets into the way of laughing at and ridiculing the objects in which the generality of people take an interest, ' and which they treat with earnestness, cannot be surprised if he should receive fur himself or h is opinions very little respect or attention. Sir Walter Scott used to tell of a gentleman he met in company, who was remarkably unfortunate in timing the expression of his feelings to the subjects which might happen to be on the carpet. He was generally half an hour before he perceived the point, of anything which might be the subject of conversation, and the result was extremely ludi crous and amusing. A gentleman might tell a vc ry tragic - tale, which he would conclude amidst appro., riate expressions of sorrow from all the company, except this man of slow apprehension. Half an heur after, when the conversation had assumed a cheerful and lively character, our gentleman would appear in great distress, and give utterance to a deep sigh or heavy groan, for by that time he bad understood the suffering, when everybody else had forgotten it. In the same manner the laugh at a mirthful tale would come out, perhaps, in the midst of some most distressing and lugu• brious narration. This man puts us in mind of the Times, whose habit seems to be, to groan when it should laugh, and to laugh when it should sigh. We think this is generally perceived, and may partly account for the indifference with which everybody seems to regard la mentations made over the excessive and misapplied cha rity of the English people in giving their patronage to the Polish ball. Another reason for the literary impotence in this matter may be found in the small fact, that his allegations on the subject are not in perfect keeping with what is considered to be the real state of the case, the merits of which he has attempted to settle. It is alleged that the Polish exiles need not stay in this land—that they are idly loitering in the West when they should serve their nation in the East. It is said, " Prussian Poland is opened to the exiled patriot, even if its Russian neighbour be closed against them.. The t'an-Sclavonic party in Austria would rejoice at the fresh infusion of Sclavonic blood in the members of the disturbed empire." Now, this sounds very well; but, unfortuneeely, it is written without a perfect acquain tance with the subject in discussion. A very good authority tells the'L imes, what it has not been able to contradict, that " the Poles cannot return to Prussian Poland without a passport from the Prussian Minister, and that passport is granted to natives of Prussian Po• land only, and not in all cases even to them. It was re fused in ono instance to a native of Prussian Poland, unless he could give satisfactory testimony as to his conduct for the last seventeen years. Austrian Poland is in like manner closed against all Pules who are not natives of that pait of Poland held by Austria." It is an ugly thing to get a false assertion into an argument, inasmuch as the result is sure to damage the logical structure into which it has been introduced. It is argued that the Poles ought to h ave us, fortheir native country is now open to them; and were this true, we should say they ought to go, or at least not receive English charity. But the Times is innocent on the subject—it writes in the dark; the day is not arrived in which thereis a "Poland for the Pole s ." By the way, the Times knows, for it quotes what L ord Dudley Stuart has said on the willingness of the Poles to return to their own country whenever they cL;n. Lord Dudley's own words:—' Some few years ago there were about 700 Poles receiving a weekly allow ance iron the Treasury, and about 60 or 70, whose eases did not come within the rules of the Treasury, end who received weekly relief from the As sociation of the Friends of Poland. The nuns her of the former is new reduced to about 350 end that of the late, rto about 30.' " Is th. re not in this fact sufficient proof that the re is on the part o; the Poles no eish to loiter in the west when they can go to the east, and visit again the land from which they are exiles? Th 7 imes, therefore, cannot damage the Poles by its articles, for this reason, that they ere al ogether ince rest in their representations. Another thing which may ac count for the failure to damage the Polish ball, is the disgust which is inspired by witnessing an attempt to prev, nt the exercise of hospitality to the stranger. If people have a neind in this way to their the heart of the exilewe do not see w hy an y one s h ould come forward to prohibit the fl , ,w of charity. A fine character England ev.iul I receive for its virtues among other nations, it she would submit to the dictation which now proposes to con try! the exercise of her benevolence. It has long been the glory of England to be the home of the exile, the refuge and harbour of the distressed; but if people would do as they are told to do, we should soon acquire a name as odious as that which attaches to the mentor wlio proposes to regulate the exercises of the national will. If we un rerstaud the policy recommended in reference to the Poles, it is that they should be so distressed, by the neglect they meet in England, that they should resolve to go and throw their lives away in any foreign revolution in which they may succeed in acting a part, or in any army that may give them a good chance(); being shot at. This is the interpretation we feel disposed to put on the language, when it is said—" Let it not be supposed that we wish to drive these interesting visitors from our shores. We have no wish to neutralise a prolonged hos pitality by a sudden persecution." Perhaps nut—but then, why write xpressly tor this purpose? We have no sympathy with this mode of disposing of the dis tressed. It would be a cheap way of getting rid of the Poles, but it is hardly Christian or English. TILE NEW CITY CLUB —This club held its in auguration dinner yesterday, at the club house, in Basinghail-stis et; Mr. Friend in the chair. It has been instituted with the view of providing a medium associa tion betw en the late Whittington Club and the Gres ham, the first of which has abandoned its ground is the City, and the latter of which is rather too expen sive to meet the purposes of the class for whom accom modation is particularly required. The new City Club has taken possession of one of those old mansions for which the neighbourhood of Basingball-stre, t and Alder manbury is celebrated.

CIIATEALTBRIAND'S MEMOIRS. --The public will learn with satisfaction that the English translation of the Memoirs of the celebrated Chateaubriand has been . brought out by Mr. C o lb urn, a f ter the fashion of the day, in the cheapest possible form. The first part, price only 2s. 6d., contains the whole of the first volume of the Paris edition. It forms a portion of Mr. Colburn's New Standard Library. Few English readers are unacquainted with the fact that M. de Chateaubriand was for above half a century one of the most eloquent, energetic, bold, and independent writers of France. Surviving the last revolution by a few months only, he died in July last, at the age of fourscore, leaving these memoirs written by himself, descriptive of the scenes of his long and checquered career. When it is considered that Chateau briand was not merely an author, but that be figured successively as a soldier, traveller, ambassador, and Prime Minister, we have a right to expect In the auto biography of a man of his transcendent genius a work of rare value and unrivalled interest.—Evening paver.
