TO THE EDITO: It OF THE HYGEIST AND ACEDICAL REFORMER. Dear Sir,—At thi , meeting of Hygeists, held at the British College of health, July 15, 1851, I had the honou^ of proposing that our next amfilal meeting she uld be called a semi-jubilee of the British College el Health, being a q ' t uarter of a century since its establishment by the immortal James 31 [orison ; and during the time we were at dinner I said privately to a few gentlemen near me that there ought to be a Monument raised n o the memory of so great a man as the Hygeist, and that at the pr oposed meeting to be held in the summer of the present year, I st could openly recommend such monument to be erected by the sma [lest contributions from the countless thousands of people in all county les who have been benefited by his simple theory, and the practical u se of the Universal Medicine. I am glad, howe• eer, to find in the last number of the Hygeist, a letter from our lea rued friend, Mr. Manneville, upon the same sub ject, in which he re grets that the ides of erecting a monument to Mr. Morison has not or curred to others sooner ; and, in conclusion, begs to say, that he slot se is responsible for the prop ,sal of a subscription for the purpose of s uch erection. Now, Mr. Editor, I will not com plain that the wort by gentleman has deprived me of the hointar of proposing, as I coy templated, but heartily thank him for taking the initiative, and sha: I be most glad to second him, and Share with him the responsibility c f such proposal. Sir, I believe Mr. Morison has been the honoured instrument of drawing the attention of the world to the simple and truthful system of Hygeistn ; and like all others who have broken i n upon the gloom, and have disturbed the slum bers of the old syst em, he met with abundance of abuse, and endured much persecution . The theory which he propounded is now be lieved by men of a 11 ranks, in every civilised country under the sun. As a theory, it was the first with which history snakes us acquainted —it has been belie ved through all past ages —surrounding and con flicting errors coup d never destroy that simple theory, that system of nature. But it has been, so far as we know, reserved for James Morison to give it efficiency, by proving its truth and publishing it to the world amid[ A contumely and scorn. Theies, however plau sible, cannot stail I before the scrutiny of modern or science unless they can be proved. 3 iorison has proved that theory. He acted on the conviction that elf sanliness, external and internal, is the great source of health. He ha 4, by his experiments 'in the department of physi cal philosophy, st led a flood of light: To cleanse and not to injure was the great desideratum. 31orison has made that grand discovery, by acting on the t uth of inspiration, In The Lord e 3Sth chap ereated mediciter, 4th verse, nos of Ecclesiasticus, , shere it is recorde d — out of the earth, and be that is wise will not abhor them.". Vege table ingredients • were what he used —ingredients whose juices would digest, and there .in was the grand proof of their salubrity; whose tendency was to loosen and put in a state humours. and at the same time op en up every drain in the human system, through which to expel all unhealthy asd corrupt humours. He has, humane] y speaking, brou ght into existence a new power for the healing of the nations. All manner of di,eases have tied before it, or been removed by its agency. Tne experiments havebeen num berless, and the 1 larenonious results all establish the same truth. Sir, the *norm at may scoff, and the learned bigot may sneer, the interested may Q ppose, but the facts are too numerous to be refuted, too true to he be lied, and too powerf ul to be put down. As popular prejudice passes away, the name of Morison will shine with greater lustre, and his r semory be cherished as a high bles.ing and benefac tor of his count ry and the world. Entertaining such sentiments of the man, I cane of but heartily unite with all right-minded men who have been benet ited by the Universal Medicine of the British College of Health to aid in erecting a monument to its founder, James Mori son, Esq.—and am, dear, sir, yours, most respectfully , JAMES HIBEERT.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVER HAMPTON. • • The half- yearly M eet i ng : o f t h e s h are h o ld ers of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Captain Ruhout, M. 1 3:, in the chair. The meeting was One of considerable importance, as the directors h a d to su b m i t to the cons id erat i on o f the proprietors th e p o li cy which has induced the board to 'project and p romote the extens i o n li ne f ro th O x ford to Brentford, and thus give the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton a Londim terminus at the Waterloo station of the South-Western Railway, and render, should the Bill before Parliament pass, the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line independent both of the London and North Western slid Great Western, Companies. There was considerable discussion at the meeting, and much of a personal character, but nearly the whole of the chairman's speech, as well as almost all the impor tant remarks-of the various sioakers, are to be found in the report of the directcrs, which we subjoin. The new matter that was introduced will be found noticed below. The following are the ; material portions of the directors' • report:— • " The proprietors will see by the accounts appended, that the ) expenditure during the half-year ending. the 31st Decetnner, 1851'; wai'292.000/, and that the -Vidal oUtltty has been 2,112.000/. " The expenditure ie nove,proCeecliug at the same rate of 50,0001. a month; a very itafge proportion of the pay ments being for the works between Tipton and Wolver cot, the portion of the line in active progress. " The directors intend very shortly to complete the purchase of land between Tipton, Wolverhampton, and the Ldndon and Nbrth-Western Railway at Show-hill, and so soon as by poasession of such lands the con tractors can act upon that part of the line efficiently, they will proceed with vigour towards its construction. " The monthly expenditure will then be about 75,000/. " The directors propose to provide the funds for this outlay by issuing the residue of the preference shares created on the 14th January, 1851—by calling up the 51. per shard yet remaining to be paid upon the prefer ence shares already issued, and by borrowing 283,333/. under thetoinpany's Acts of 1848. The moneys which will be provided by these means will, as-your directors believe, be sufficient for the com pletion of the line from Wolvercot through Wolver hampton to the London and North-Western Railway at Show-hill. ' " These arrangements enable the board to state with confidence that the line will be completed and opened for traffic at about the following periods:-- " The loop line from the Midland Railway at Stoke, through Droitwich to Worcester, is arranged to be this day opened. " The line from Stourbridge to Droitwich, and from Abbotswood to Evesham, shortly after Lady-day next. " The line froniStourbridge to Tipton in Oct. next. " The line from Evesham to Wolvercot in Dec. next. " And the line from Tipton to Wolverhampton and Show-hill about Midsummer, 1853. " Your directors propose to work the portions of rail way (other than the Loop, which will at present be worked exclusively by the Midland Company), as they severally are completed, and they find that advantageous arrangements can be made with third parties to provide the requisite working stock. " Tne foregoing statewent will make it obvious to.the proprietors that the time is at hand when the future po sition of this undertaking must be determined; and that it is necessary to decide-- " Whether the line shill bc, worked in connexion with the Great Western or North-Western? or •• Whether it shall be independent of either? ' " Now, with respect to these questions, involving al ternatives of extreme importance to the proprietors, it must be borne i❑ mind— " 1. That the proprietors refused, in October last, the only arrangements which the Great Western Railway Company were prepared to make; and " 2. That they appointed a committee from their own body for the purpose of considering the position of the company, and of takiug'all such steps in co-operation with the directors as they.sbould in their judgment deem most expedient for promoting its interests; and that such com mittee should, in particular, consider and determine the measures most proper in their 'judgment to be adopted in respect of 'arrangements with other railway cm* panies.' ' " Your &meters hid several interviews with that committee, who theY -found were in favour of an ar rangement with the narrow gauge companies, with whose lines they suggested the Oxford, Worcester, and Pi r olverhampton-Railway should -- he - connected at Wol vercot, near Oxford, by a junction line,, for which the narrow-gen& companies would make application to Par liament this year. " Your directors felt that; inasmuch as the distance from Oxford to Paddington by the Great Western route is 63 miles, while the distance from Oxford to Euston square, viii Bletchley, by the North-Western route-, is 77 miles, the consent of Parliarbent could s - careely_ be ex pected to so serious a diversion of the traffic of the Ox ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line. They, ne vertheless, expressed their readiness to carry into Par liament any• Bill which should be recommended by the committee, but, being convinced of the necessity of pro tecting the company by oth er mea s u res,. they reserved to. themselves the right of pr esen ti ng to the proprietors still to Parliament sue)) other: ,m ea miroces - they _ rdigtit consider better. adapted to pr omo t e A b e , . - yolfare of the coMpaily.. The committee thereupon repos:nil your directors to introduce: int , ›Parliament . a Bill. to. lease or self the7.oiford.and, Worcester line . to the :London-and North-Western, the Midland,. and the nies. This Bill the direct ors propose , i n fulfilm ent ent of Cs' their pledge, to submit to th e cons id e ration Par liament.

" The_ objecte ofthts Bill were explained to the coin mice° of shareholders, and their propriety admitted. "2. A Bill for enabling the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Company to extend their line of railway to Oxford; to construct a station there, and a branch to join the. Buckinghamshire railways; for altering some of the proviiiims of the Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton Railway Acts relating to the Great Western Railway Company, and for other purposes. " 3. A Bill for extending the line of the Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhaeopton Railway from Wolvercot, near Oxford, to the line of the London and South-Wes tern IZEtilittY Company near Brantford, in the county of Middlesex, • " The measure upon which your directors rely to se cure that independence which, in their estimation, has be come indispensable, is the proposed extension from Wolvercot to Brentford, which, passing close to Oxford, will accommodate in its course the market . towu of Theme, Prince's Risborbugh, 'Wycombe, Beaconsfield, and Uxbridge, and will terminate at Brentford by a junction with the Hounslow line of the South-Western Railway. This new line will be of great public utility. to a large district of country much, in need of railway accommodation; will materially shorten the distance from Oxford to London; and will give an outlet for the traffic of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhanipton Railway, independent either .of the Great Western or of the North- Western Company, securing to it, at the same time, access to the best railway stations, whether for goods or litssr.6agers, in the ;metropolis. " The South-Western Company have, through their board of directors, directed their readiness to receive and accommodate :this company's traffic on very reason able terms. " The proposed line is, fifty miles long, the works are of an average character, and the cost from Oxford to Brantford is estimated at 870,0004 " The landowners are anxious ,to see the line formed; while, by the inhabitatati of the several towns which it will approach, its' great public utility has been d' 11 co rla y recognised. " From the period wben tiara ,measure was suggested but ono opinion as to its merit has prevailed 'amongst those members of your board wh.o have keen selected by the proprietors of this company. As it appeared to them essential that this measure should be submitted to Par liament in the present session, and as an appeal to the propriabrei previously to the giving the November notices wrs impracticable, your direct( Irs entered into an ar rangement with Messrs. Peto and Betts, Bud_ Messrs. Tredwell, your present contraators, to enable the com pany to comply with the requirtment of Parliament, as follows: " The extension of the Oaf , )rd, Worcester, and Wol verhampton Railway between the proposed station at St. Giles's, O sh x i t r o e r s d , , e a f n 2 cl, ol 7 Bo t,f , :rd, to be made by means Cf capital to be raised special! y for that purpose.

It was stated to the proprietors that the directors bad 'three courses open to them —viz into an al liance with the narrow-gauge ' interest —in other ve words, with the London and North -stern Company; another, an alliance with the Great Western Company; and the third, which the directors thou ght the most advantage ous, to make the line a perfect l y independent one.' With had this impression the directors decided upon applying to-Parliament for an Act to auth orise the construction of Brantford. an extension from Oxford to The necessity of•the measure was grounded on the allegation that, ter minating. as the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line does at,Oxford, thP company would always, unless they had a guarantee, be at the mercy of the company n over whose line they should ru between Oxford and Dindon; that a guarantee bad refused by the Great Western Company, who had always, always, as it - was stated; had an' eye to their o wn interests, Which, with their possession of the Birmi ham and .Oxford line, is, and perhlips 'must be, advers e a:3 frd or ceiter, and WolveritaMpte.n interests: and o x t o la ' • of the Great Western executive was declared to animus gla ringly exhibited in' the recent applicatit°'V i c e- Chancellor to restrain the former comp an y from o th e ing any portion of their (the Oxfor, W Worcester, este ex r pe e n e d d Wolverhampton Company's) funds in pr omoting the Oxford and Brentford scheme. It was cotended by' e *eral of the directors - and by shareholders 't: '' s ...., at Le meeting yeeterday, that , bptas - t,te preamble ofthe Oxford - and Brentford Bill, ind the Clause relating t o the ra i s i ng of the capital, clearly pointed out that the cost of the ap plication to Parliament, as well as that of the construc tion of the proposed extension, was to fall upon the new capital to be created, and which would form a capital distinct from the capital that has been expended, and that has to be expended, upon the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line proper. . That the Great Western executive, in going to tne Court of Chancery, had sought the aid of the law to prevent the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton board from doing that which they had never intended to do, and which, in fact, the law would not allow them'to do; and the act of the Great Western executive in this instance was not only stated to be one that had occasioned an unnecessary outlay of money, but it was characterised as a glaring assumption that the decision of the v • jee-Chancellor could stay the legislature from declaring and enacting that the proposed Oxford and Brentford scheme should be a public benefit. The directors said that the case on which they rested the success of the scheme was the ab solute necessity of the construction of the extension for the salvation of the company, and the fact that the dis trict through which it would pass is destitute of railway accommodation. It was emphatically stated that the extension line would be a remunerative one. The estimated cost was 870,0001.—c0t an engineer's estimate merely, but the athount for which some of the most responsible contrac tors in the country had offered to complete it. Of this amount 636,4001. had been subscribed, and the necessary parlianientary deposit (63,6400 had been made. With respect to the paying character of the extension line, it was urged that, by its construction, the traffic of the Ox ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line would .resemble that of the Brighton Railway. Th e entire ou tl a y f o r the completion o f the whole railway would be 4,000,000/. ; for • this expenditure they would have 150 miles of railway from Wolverhampton to London; a line " looking down" upon Cheltenham, with which place it would no doubt—if the Oxford and Brentford extension were made—be con nected in two or three years, with on approach to Bir mingham, and carrying heavy traffic between South Staffordshire to the metropolis. The salt from Droit wlcb, the fire-bricks from Stowbridge, &c., would be through• traffic; and one of the speakers predicted that with an independent line into London, and such a ter minus as that of the South-Western Railway at Water loo-bridge, the line—looking at its cost—would be one of the most remunerative in the kingdom. The expen sive portion of the old line, vise from Tipton to Wol verhampton, about 50,000/. per mile, was justified on the ground that it is the key to the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton traffic, and if the company did not construct it, the Great Western Company undoubtedly would. Upon the question of the sufficiency of the capital of the company for the completion .of the Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton line proper, it was stated that the company had powers to raise 1,025,0001, an amount equal to the completion—exclusive of plant—of the entire works on the whole main line. Mr. Pete, M.P. (the eminent contractor), in answer to a question from the board, said he was quite ready to give the best possible security for the completion of the - line. at the estimated cos- ,.: During the discussion it was stated that the directors had resolved not to listen- to any overtures from the Great Western Company, . and that it was determined, if possible, to secure an independent line; and that the directors were likewise resolved, if the Shrewsbury and Birmingham alliance with the Great Western Company were sanctioned-by' Parliament, to ask the Legislature for , their', (the-Oxford;:Worcest r' and WolVerhaMptOn ConfpanY"sy fair 'shire of ' e'' L iverpool •- ' Isl th' ' the an d Or erla traffie.' • • ~ - : The-report of the directors and ' share • that of the :.. .. holders' - committee were received anda dopted;' the re= tiring directors were te-elected, - It au ditor, and the-meeting unani mously approve d of the Bill for the proposed extension Ox ford to . sloe line from.

The Secrkary also submitted a general statement of, receipts and disbursements ou the capital account, from which it appeared that the income from the formation of FEBRUARY 25 1 1852. the company to December 31, 1851, was 981,9147. 19s. 9d., the constituent items being as follow :—Receipts on share capital, 600,0001. lon new paid capital, 5,663/. ; loans on debentures, 341,0001.; in amount with bankers, 20,09/.; sundries, 1,495/.

The CHAIRMAN congratulated the proprietors on the satisfactory condition of the company's affairs. There had been a sensible increase of the receipts from passen ger traffic during the last six months, and it was reason able to expect that there would be a still greater augmen tation of their revenue when the Great Northern Company would seek to exercise the power which they possessed under their Act—that of adding a branch to the line of the docks and Birmingham Junction Company. Every day ameliorated their prospects, and it was only that morning that ho had received a communication from the proprietors of Finsbury Park, indicating what an im portant additional source of income would be opened to the present company by the establishment of that place of, public recreation. During the last half-year they had conveyed no fewer than 2,000,000 of passengers, and he was happy to say that in no one instance bad any acci dent occurred, either to life or limb.—(Hear, hoer.) This was in itself a very gratifying evidence of the ju diCious and careful manner in which the line was worked. This line, no doubt, bad been an expensive one, having cost about 100,600/. mile; but when it was borne in mind through what important and valuable property the line - had cut, it would not be considered that that expense was greater than ought rationally to have expected, The Greenwich line had cost 270,9001. per mile, and the Blackwell line 266,0001. A PROPRIEtoIt inquired whether there was any foun dation for a rumour which had obtained circulation, to the effect that it was intended to lease the line to the London and North-Western Railway Company? The CHAIRMAN replied that there was not the least foundation for any such report. Mr. WaLsze inquired whether the law suit in which the company had been so long involved with the pro prietor of a well-known rope-walk was at an end? The CHAIRMAN said that the suit in question was completely at an end, and the company had been foiled. In the course of their endeavours to construct the line they had had to make one thousand and thirty settle ments, and as there was a manifest disposition on the part of all with whom they bad had to deal to make a hard bargain, the only wonder was that they had not been involved in greater litigation. In the case referred to they had unfortunately been unsuccessful, but the money would not be all lost, nor would the evil be unac companied by some advantage. The premises which were the subject. of the suit might, by judicious ma nagement. be made productive of revenue to the com pany, and would enable them to improve their gradient. Mr. WALSH wished to know whether it was intended to provide third•class carriages for the accommodation of the poorer orders of the public? The CHAIRMAN said that the question had been con sidered by the directors, but they were of opinion that it would not not be desirable to have a third-class car rfage on a line so very short and so publicly circum stanced as the present. After a brief conversation, it was ordered that the re port be received and adopted. A resolution declaring a dividend of 1 per cent., free of income-tax, on the company's original share capital for the half-year, was then agreed to. The CHAIRMAN proposed a resolution authorising the directors to raise the sum of 16,6661. by loan, under the Act of 1850, at 4 per cent. The motion was agreed to. Mr. J. Ron thought it was of considerable importance that the proprietors should be informed as to the proba bility of such arrangements being completed as would enable the goods traffic to be conveyed to the terminus at the docks without the interveniion of luggage vans. The CHAIRMAN said that such a continuous and un broken current of traffic as the one referred to was un doubtedly most desirable. It had already been ac complished to a great extent—(Hear, hear) —and he wa s happy to say that there was every probability that such arrangements would ultimately be effected as would ' give universal prevalence to the system.—(Hear, hear.) Motions for there-election of Mr. R. Creed and Mr. W. H.

Let us see how the country stands in its trade and finances; let us ascertain the exact state in which Lord John Russell bands its welfare over to Lord Darby ;. let us know, in figures that cannot lie, what it is that free-trade has done for us ; then we shall be able the better to hold a Tory Government responsible for any acts that may tamper with or jeopardise the commercial liberty of import and export which we now enjoy, and have to thank the late and present Parliament for. First of all, then, Lord Derby receives the National Finances in a flourishing condition. Free trade has not, at least, turned a surplus into a deficit. If of late years our expenses have gone on increasing, so also has our income; and, notwithstanding a re mission since January,lB46, of taxes to no smaller an amount than 5,663,6381., there was at the beginning of 1852 an excess of income over expenditure reaching the enormous sum of 2,726,3961. Lord Derby will not, therefore, have the excuse of want of means for not reducing still further the weight of taxation ;' he will find no apology in the absence of Treasury balances for tampering with or manipulating the national finances. Let this, then, above all, be im pressed on the public mind—Lord Derby takes office with a surplus revenue of nearly three millions ster ling ! He will therefore be able, without reverting to a bread duty, to reduce the income-tax and get rid of its inequalities. And how has this enormous—it may be correctly said, this unprecedented—surplus been produced ? By merely giving the industry of the community fair play ; by simply relieving the natural energies of the people fr6m the weight of oppressive burthens ; by only removing pernicious restrictions on their trade ; by allowing them to carry the products of their labour to the dearest markets, and enabling them to buy the means of their subsistence in the cheapest. Within the last ten years we have, after an arduous struggle against class interests, long confirmed mo nopolies, and a powerfnl combination of aristo cratic influence, obtained free trade in provisions ; we have at least got cheap bread, cheap meat, cheese, butter, sugar, coffee, and all the minor articles of food; we have got cheap freights to reduce the cost of their transport ; we have got cheap materials (timber, bricks, glass, &c.) wherewith to build and repair our houses. And mark the consequences. Not only have we now a surplus revenue of three millions sterling, but in nine years our exports have (in value alone) increased full 50 per cent. ; in 1842 they were 47,381,0231.; in 1850 they had risen to 71,359,184/. ; and in consequence of this demand for labour and of this cheap ness of living, our general pauperism is now de creasing at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, and our able-bodied adult pauperism at the still more satisfactory rate of nearly 12 per cent. Let us never, then, forget that Lord Derby has received the country into his safe keeping with a rapidly increasing trade and a decreasing rate of pauperism, and that this, as well as prosperity in its finances, is the result of that free-trade policy which he and his supporters mean to reverse if they can. But, descending from these all important general results of free trade, let us examine a little the par ticular items which make up its noble and conclusive aggregate ; and, first, of bread. In 1845 we im ported only 1,141,957 quarters of wheat, and but 2,423,145 quarters of all sorts of foreign grain. Since 1847 we have consumed on an average not less than ten millions of quarters; and of that great increase in 1851 no fewer than 5,355,687 quarters were of wheat. Now, by this almost miraculous augmentation, we have, as Mr. Lewis remarks, " gauged the capa city of the real effective demands of the country, and proved, by the demonstration of facts, the extent of the privation previously suffered by the community." Let us remember, then, that Lord Derby, when he assumed the government of the country, found it yearly consuming ten millions of quarters of foreign grain, all paid for in goods the produce of British industry; as shown by the enormous increase in the bullion in the cellars of the Bank of England. Next in importance comes sugar. In 1842 foreign sugar was excluded from use in this country ; and the duty on British plantation sugar was 255. 2.0. per cwt. Then we yearly consumed but 4,068,331 cwts. Now, the tax on colonial is only 10s. per cwt., and that on foreign 14s. (to be equalised in 1854) ; and the result is the consumption, in 1851, of 6,884,189 cwts., or an increase in nine years of more than 69 per cent. Let this " great fact" be ever before our eyes•when we think of the time when a Protectionist Government succeeded to power. As with bread an i sugar, so with timber. In 1843 we only used 1,317,643 loads of 50 cubic feet each; but the duty being reduced to 7s. 6d., we last year used 2,037,077 loads. In 1842 we took 28,519,646 lbs. of coffee ; in 1851, 32,564,164 lbs. that time our consumption of foreign cheese has more than doubled ; we are now using 14,000,000 lbs. more of tea than we did then; 6,000,000 lbs. more of tobacco ; and one million pounds' weight snore of pepper. In raw materials the increased im portation is just as great; in nine years the increase of raw cotton has been nearly 100,000 lbs. ; of flax, 71,0,000 cwts. ; of wool, upwards of 15,000,000 lbs. Under such circumstances, what wonder that in 1861 our exports of cotton goods were greater by seven millions sterling in value than they were in 1842—that the value of our silks sent abroad has doubled, and so also machinery ? That our exports of hardware have increased in money value one million sterling—iron and steel two millions three hundred thousand pounds—and that even our yarns are augmenting in exportable value ? These, too, are facts to, be held in remembrance in the presence of a Protectionist Cabinet. Equally rapid under the influence of an enlarged trade has been the increase in our shipping. In 1844 the tonnage of British shipping which entered and cleared out from our ports, excluding that which came in and went out in ballast, was 5,691,680 ; in 1851 it was ,8,535,252 ; and last year, in the single port of Sunderland, no fewer than 146 vessels, of the aggregate tonnage of 51, 82 3 tons, were launched ; and now other 73 ships are on the stocks in the same port. When, too, was money so cheap; when gold, so abundant ; when, stocks so high ? All predictions as to corn imports producing a drain of bullion have been falsified ; and in the last five months of 1851 the stock of bullion in the Bank has increased four mil lions sterling. This, then, is the result of "taking stock," that Lord Derby receives the country with a surplus le," venue of nearly three millions, consuming ten m il , lion quarters or foreign grain annually, 69 per cen t . more sugar than it did nine years since, 25 per n. cent. t more coffee, quite as much more tea, and more g more of all its produce; w ith m oney pauperism cheap, scarce a labourer unemploye d; with decreasing, and generally in such a st ate of prosperity as that nothing but political perver sity_e receives caninjure. it, Knowing, then, the state in which h we are now able to appreciate how h This is what free trade has done.e will deal with it.

The'Oidii;ary meeting of the shareholders of this com pany was advertised to be held yesterday at the London Tavern. There was not a sufficient attendance to con stitute a meeting. The directors' report is as follows: " Your directors have but little to state on the present occasion. The preparation for finally abandoning the undertaking is going on, but the proceedings at law which have been instituted by landowners against the company, pending in August last, and then mentioned to the pro prietors, have not advanced to a hearing, though your directors are advised that one of these snits will very speedily be heard.

Rooms, YorkoesterdaY; Mr. Pulleine, the deputy chairman of the company, presided. The at tendance of shareholders was rather numerous. The SECRETARY (Captain O'Brien) having read the advertisement convening the meeting, the seal of the company was affixed to the registered list of share holders. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Pulleine), who had been elected in the place of Mr. Leeman, resigned in consequence of ill health, proceeded to state that the traffic would, on the whole, be satisfactory to the shareholders as it was to the directors, there being an increase on the corre sponding half.year. In the passenger traffic there was a considerable increase up to the same amount, or more, in money than in the year 1847. He moved the adop tion of the report, except as to a paragraph recommend ing the erection of a railway hotel at York. Mr. PLEWS seconded the motion. Mr. COMMON moved an amendment. He and many other shareholders felt that a large dividend ought to be paid—at least at the rate of 3i per cent. The per manent-way fund, as arranged in August, 1849, mist be modified. Mr. MITCHELL seconded the amendment. Mr. LEEMAN said, supposing that Mr. Common would withdraw his amendment, he thought that for the future they (the directors) would be content to take 16,0001. in future as sufficient for this fund. On a division the amendnient was negatived. Mr. JoHNSoN moved that for future yeM4 the reserve fund be 16,000/, which was seconded by Mr. Schwann, and on a division was carried by a largo , majority. The report, as amended, was then adopted.. A dividend at the rate of 3 per cent., less; income-tax,. was then ordered to be paid on the 211 of March next. Mr. Wharton was then re-elected a director, and Mr. Hunter, of Newcastle, was appointed a director in the, place of th© late Mr. Kipling, and a voinof thanks was given. to Mr. Leetnan, on his retirement from the office of chairman of this company. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the erection of an hotel at York, which was opposed, and a warm discussion en sued. On a division the numbers appeared to be pretty equal, but the chairman declared the motion to be car ried, whereupon a poll was demanded, and the result vvas as follows—for the hotel, 52; against it, 30 ; majo rity in favour of it, 22. It was then demanded that the votes should be taken on the number of shares , held by the 'shareholders who had voted.
