GREAT MEETING AT THE LONDON TAVERN, • OR Thursday last, the Right Honourable LORD MAYOR in the Chair, For the Prevention of Destitution and Mendicancy. A Gentleman present, not being able to make a speech, has sent Us his notes, from which we make a few extracts. I approve of this movement ; from what has been said it Is evi dent that " prevention" is aimed at as well as cur e, y our hearts have suffered from the sympathetic grief which the sights of wretched ness and misery have produced, and your ear has not refrained from the tale which the mendicant has poured out. What pleasure it 'Would afford you to see all your: chow men, and especially our Mechanics and industrious artizans, who it has just been said " Often become the subjects of our bounty," from the fact of their having Paid high prices for those things which they daily require, and more Particularly for their DRESS, which has been an immense subject Of consumption in all families, and was, prior to the enterprise of E. MOSES and SON, charged outrageous prices, but now is made ac cessible to every one at their Mart at an easy rate. I repeat to see these, with all the inhabitants of London arid its surrounding coun try, providing themselves with a fund in the day when they can labour, a Rind on which they may depend in time of need, thus cul tivating a spirit of independence and saving you the great sum you have to cortribute to the various institutions from which destitution seeks for relief. You pledge yourselves to support this movement, and the way by which you may best do so, is to save forty per cent by purchasing all your Dress and that of your dependants at the Economical Clothing Mart of E. MOSES and SON ; this will enable you further to extend your liberality in your excellent plans. Economy and frugality are the best preventatives of destitution and mendicancy. " Waste not, want not," is true as ever. The Most certain way to prevent destitution in the City and elsewhere is for the people to become possessors of those advantages offered to all classes, purchasing every article of Dress at E. MOSES and Aldgate and Minories, or New Oxford-street and Hart street. Such a course would certainly prevent a great amount or destitution, leaving the people a large amount of money purely the result of superior quality and law prices. The prices being more than 40 per cent. lower than any other house, constituting an entire saving of cash to meet accident, scarcity, and old age. The amount saved in orty per cent. makes a large sum in family expenditure— la a fortune before age adv nces, and has already prevented a great *Mount of distress in the City and in other places. I, therefore, urge on any Gentlemar here who has not already given E. MOSE, and SON the whole of his patronage to do so forthwith, not only from ,the fact of their being Tailors. Hatters, Hosiers, &c., &c., to the No bility, but the sustainers of our City's Taste, Credit, and Fashion, and the economisers of the money of our distinguished and wealthy citizens, and endeavour to extend the benefits of such a reduction to all classes under your influence and engaged in your service, by . 1 1 recting them to g to E. MOSES and SUN for every article of r,re.% which will sec o ure them from the sorrows of destitution and `aa humiliation of mendicancy. E.

The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the above company was held yesterday, at the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge. Mr. Laing was in the chair, The advertisement by which the meeting had been con vened having been read by the Secretary, The CHAIRMAN said he supposed the report might, as usual, be taken as being read.—(Hear.) He would pro coed then to move that the report be adopted; and in doing so, he should trouble them with a very few obser vations upon one or two topics which seemed to him to be likely to be interesting to them. The first and most important question, and which, perhaps, they might feel an especial interest in, was bow far the Groat Exhibition might have affected the large increase of the traffic during the past half-year. When they saw that they had had during the last three years an increase of 131,6781. in the income of the company, of which up wards lof 50,0001. had been obtained in the last year, 1851, of course they could not but all feel considerable anxiety as to whether this very large increase might be of a permanent character, or might be attributable to a temporary cause like that of the Great Exhibition. They would observe that in the report the directors ex pressed tho opinion that although some of the increase of the past year might bo attributable to that cause, the larger portion of it was of a permanent charac ter. Of course it must be conjectural in a great measure, how much of the increase might be attributed to the Great Exhibition. Thera was no doubt that they had had a considerable accession of traffic arising from that cause; but it had been by no means so great as in the case of other railways, which connected larger masses of the population with the metropolis; that was a result reasonably to be anticipated. A very great ad ditional attraction being established in London, it was only to • be expected that a line like the Brighton, which only connected London with the population of a single country, should not reap such a rich harvest from that cause as other railways like the North-Western and Great Western, which connected, perhaps, a third or a fourth of the entire population of the kingdom with .London; and, accordingly, such had been the case. The total increase, he found, of passenger traffic during the year 1851 over the year 1850, had been about 42,0001.; while the average increase for the two preceding years had been about 18,0001. According to that it would ap pear, therefore, as if upon their passenger traffic they had obtained rather more than the natural increase of two years; bat it must be recollected that tho progres sive development of the traffic of the line, while the country continued prosperous, must have been expected to bring a large increase of traffic, inde pendent of any extraordinary cause. Ye had got the figures out of the amount of ex cursion traffic—and other extraordinary traffic, as they might call it, which had been booked at the various stations on the line to London at reduced rates; and he found that in the year 1851 it amounted to 17,7151., during the time the Exhibition was open, being an in crease of 15,6961. over the corresponding period of 1850. Of that, 15,0001. or 16,000/. represented the direct in crease of excursion traffic derived from the Exhibition; there probably was some other increase upon the ordi nary traffic to London; but, on the other hand, . . there was a decided falling off in certain branches of the local traffic; and on the traffic from London he thought on the whole they had lost quite as much as they had gained from superior attractions of the Exhibition in London keeping people in town. There was one rather interesting and remarkable phenomenon attending our Exhibition traffic this year. They had been in no hurry to adopt tho system of low fares; they retained their ordinary fares f or t h e fi rst two months of the Ex hibition; and he th oug h t the result had proved most conclusively that they had got no increase of traffic whatever from that cause until they lowered the fares very considerably, so as to glace within the means of the mass of the population the opportunity of gra tifying their curiosity by visiting London. During the month of May the Exhibition affected their traffic in passengers but slightly compared with other ,lines; they then adopted the policy of grant ing by their usual trains and other trains return tickets at considerably reduced fares; and they had a very large increase of traffic from the middle of July or the begin ning of August until the close of the Exhibition in Oc tober. Since then they had been suffering slightly, but only in a slight degree, from the reaction naturally resulting upon the decrease of that traffic. On the whole, however, ho should say, though the result of that test must be conjectural, his own opinion wee that they might in this one year anticipate the natural in crease et two years; and if in the year 1852 they could keep their receipts on a level with the receipts of the year 1851, they ought to be perfectly satisfied with the result.—(Hear, hoar.) There was one very gratifying feature about the increase of their traffic. If they re ferred to the table in which the comparative receipts of the last three years were given they would see that the largest increase of all had been in the amount of the an nual and season tickets. Now that increase certainly showed a steady and progressive development of traffic on the different branches of the line,.and represented in a great measure the increase of buildings, and the in creased number of residents, arising from the great advan tages and facilities offered by the line to people to live at Brighton, and in the vicinity of the different stations on the line, and to come up to London to their business instead of residing in London. As regarded the next question to that of receipts, the question of expenditure, he would just make this remark to them, that in 1849, they might recollect, he hazarded an estimate of what the expenditure might probably be upon a given amount of income in future; and they found the actual result cor responded very closely, indeed with that estimate. The estimate in 1849 was based upon the supposition of a traffic of 500,000/. a year. Exclusively of casualties, which was a separate item, it would require 210,000/. expenditure to earn an income of 500,0001., and 25 per cent. upon any additional receipts beyond 500,0001. Now that estimate would have brought the expenditure for the year 1851 to tho amount of 242,444 L; their , 1 80 . 1 00 . 1 0 0 . 1 0 0 . 1 0 0 . 1 0 0 . 1 0 0 SIR FRANCIS B. HEAD'S WORKS.

He would like to observe, however, that in giving that estimate it was based upon the supposition that an increase of traffic beyond the 500,000/, a year .. . would arise from the progressive development of the ordinary sources of traffic. He, no doubt, then had in view that which had been the actual fact—that a large proportion of the increase had arisen from goods traffic and excursion traffic, for which traffic they had had to do an extra quantity of work, or he would hardly have ventured to give so large a figure as twenty five per cont. for the additional stock and expenses necessary to enable them to obtain those increased re ceipts. And they must recollect that while their income had increased thirty per cent., the amount of work, whether measured by the number of miles run, or by the number of passengers carried, had increased about fifty per cent., showing that a largo portion of their in crease bad arisen from the traffic attracted to the line by extra exertions in running trains at low fares, and by currying a great portion of their traffic at reduced rates. The principal increase of expenditure during the last year, they would observe, was under the head of " Lo comotive Power," which had arisen, of course, from the increased number of miles which had been run, and from the larger amount of repairs and renewals which had been effected in order to keep the stock up in good condition. He believed the best test . of that would be afforded by the punctuality of the trains. If there w as one point more than another on w hich the directors:piqued themselves—if he might so express it—it was upon the punctuality of the trains of the Brighton Railway, Ile confessed, although they, as directors, might feel kit tisficd, some proprietors might be dissatisfied on coin paring the results of the Exhibition traffic with the result the p u bli c. lla a on other lines; but be mu st say that he would rather himself have a moderate increase of traffic, an d retui referents with to the c . their reputation for pun ctuality, undisturbed b y an 4 enor mous accession of ex cursion traffic, t h an have a accession for one yea r, accompanied wit h tho tog„gr'atof their character 10, h for s might observe, wi t xpresston, the increase of their mileage and the i ncreased ture for locomotiv e p ower, that the y weregoingexpendi sys- t ema ti ca lly on the pr inci p le of running more trains per haps than was st rictl y necessar y at the e present moment for the requirements of the traffic, with a view to afford accommodat i on to the public, a n d o assi st development o f their traffie.

If they look to an extended period of five, or six, or eight, or ten years, it would bo found that there could be no more judicious expenditure of money than in connecting Brighton with London at a very high rate of speed, so as to make it the most con venient point of access from the metropolis; and the same observations would apply to the trains on the short lines—to Croydon and Epsom—where they were running trains from an early hour until half-past,twelve at night, mainly with a view to encourage residence in the vicinity of the line. He would now come to that which he thought by far the most important point connected with the present report. That was the question of providing for the additional outlay for permanent objectt, which In were rendered necessary by the large increase of traffic. asking for further outlay for those objects, it seemed right, in the first instance, that they should g i v e them some account of their stewardship in regar d t o t h e past . They would recollect that in October, 1848, an estimate was sent r oun d by the directors t o the proprietors, with regard to the final stat e At that period t h e utmost of the capit a l accoun t. aofrunt of income which they ventured t o ground t heir 450,0001. a yea r . Th ey had then liaebsitliimtieastete utgeon ex twenast of 390,0001. to compl e t e t h e d i fferent works which were then i n progress on the line, and assets to realize to the extent of about 145,0001,, and on that state of things they ventured to estimate that the final amount of capi tal would not e xcee d 7,200, 000 1 . Since that periodall the works which were then in contemplation had been completed, and about 100,0001. worth of additionui works executed, in increasing their stock and in enlarging sta tions, which had been done beyond anything included in those estimates. Having done that, and having during that period seen their trkffic increase from 450,000/. to 585,000/. a year, the directors came to them and showed that the limit of 7,200,0004 had not yet been exceeded, but is approached within a very small margin; and that this increase of traffic rendered necessary a further ex penditure, which might be roughly estimated at about 120,0001., in order to provide the necessary accommo dation for traffic oa the line. He thought no one who was at all acquainted with the nature of railway business could expect, for one mo ment, that such a large increase of traffic as that to which we had referred could be carried on with any thing like the same fixed establishineut of working stock and accommodation at the stations as was for merly sufficient. The business of a railway company, in many respects, might be compared to that of a large carrying establishment, like that of Messrs. Pickford and Co., or Messrs. Chaplin and Horne. Every one who was at all conversant with business must know that if the business of Messrs. Pickford and Co., or Messrs. Chaplin and Hoene, were to increase 30 per cent. in three years, a very large increase of outlay indeed would be required by them in providing working plant, warehouses, and so on, in order to conduct that traffic. The number of passengers, as they would see by the re turn, which bad beencarried over the line had increased by upwards of one million, or by 50 per cent. over the whole number carried in 1848 ; and the mileage and tonnage of goods increased in the same proportion. Of course every additianal passenger who was carried re quired additional room to carry him ; and every addi tional ton of goods required additional waggons, and additional warehouse room, and additional room for sid ings at the different stations, and every other precaution, both to accommodate the traffic, and to prevent the risk of accident arising, as they increased the number of their trains. That some further expenditure must take place from time to time, as the traffic increased, was, he thought, a matter which stood to reason; and he was sure that no more ruinous policy could be adopted by railway directors and railway shareholders than to attempt to shut their eyes to the inevitable facts; to shirk the call upon them for further outlay, and to attempt to go on for a year or two with insufficient stock and insufficient accommoda tion, and to incur the displeasure of the public, and the risk of serious accident upon the line, which would be the inevitable consequences of such a course of conduct. Although upon this line they had been very fortunate daring the past year, notwithstanding the increase of traffic, in escaping any serious accident that could be at tributed to any want of precaution, yet they could not shut their eyes to the fact that a great many serious acci dents had occurred upon railways, and that a great deal of public excitement had existed upon the subject; and it was clear that if many accidents were to occur upon railways of a description which could fairly be attributed to the want of due precaution, or to a penny-wise and pound-foolish economy on the part of railway proprie tors, in refusing to grant the necessary funds, they would both risk the certainty of being fined enormously in the shape of compensation fur injury, and also risk the great probability of very stringent interference on the part of the Legislature, very likely leading in its result to great inconvenience and damage to railways. Lie confessed himself that he hal a very strong feel ing that the charter, if he might so express it, un der which they held their property, was that of doing the best in their power to secure the public safety upon the line. He thought if they were, under the influence of false reasoning, or any other motive, to shirk the necessity of increasing their working estab lishment, and of providing all the precautions which the most advanced state of science could suggest for securing the public safety, they would very soon feel the bad consequences of it, both in the falling off of ,their traffic, and very possibly in the shape of legislative interference with railway property.—(Cheers.) That feeling led the directors in the autumn of the past year to direct a very minute examination of all the different points of the line, by their different officers, the resident engineer, the traffic manager, and the locomotive superintendent, in order to ascertain whether it was possible, at any points on the line, to introduce any additional precautions to secure the public safety ; and whether the large increase of traffic did or did not suggest the necessity of altera. tions and enlargements at the different stations for ac commodating the traffic. They had a report from them recommending a variety of different works, every one of which was gone through carefully, and those only were adopted which the board were fully ccnvinced would ultimately be necessary in order to secure the safety of the public on the line. He believed their adop tion could not have been postponed without very great injury to the permanent interests of the company. One of the points upon which additional outlay was need ful, as mentioned in the report, was a new goods yard, with an approach from the main line practicable for locomotive engines, and the enlargement of the goods stock, iu order to place it upon a level with the requirements of the large increase of traffic. The only point which admitted of a question with regard to that outlay was not the necessity of that outlay (for he was sure the more they looked into it the more they would find that that outlay was necessary and indispen sable), but the mode in which it was to be supplied, and that raised the broad question whether it should be pro vided oat of the capital or out of the revenue. Upon that hruese little believedabt Aboutrot theh a broad point he had nothing to add to the reasons which were f given in that report. He did not like to commit himsel f to opinions upon abstract questions of principle as e t? whether expenditure of this sort ought, as an abs tra c t question, question, to be provided for out of capital or t oeu case revenue, or how it ought to be provided for in of other buildings which might be differently ft Intel. It was sufieient for him to say utht moment, 0 1 1 e 1 2 7, else of the Brighton Railway, at th i e oh p be had a very strong opinion, directors universally participate i d e , ruinous and suicidal policy if they l'th'ha er C e it t w o o r e e l - d op b e e n a t v h e e r i y r capital account, and resort to.capitawl(iErn eoarrlerantodmeheeeetrtsh.e) necessity of increased expenditure. — There is (continued the Chairman) no doubt of the fact that the public at large, who r know very railway accounts and railway manag h e a m k e e n n t, by lo t o h k e viously result. Their confidence has been s pre ' and palpable result that the div i dends paid to 184.5 and 1846 could not be reli e d upon, f rom the fact of their being to a great extent e ked out of capital; a n d, therefore, that confidence never can be restored until the public at large sees the practical working of railwa s during a period of y ears in whi c h a certain amount of dividend is paid with out any Permanent accession to the _(eheers.) If then, we assume that the capital account. amount of expenditur e . oug ht at the present moment, as a matter of remainingpoli to be takem from revenue, the only question is over what period ought that to be spread? Here I Gannot shut my eyes to the fact, that to take it out of the revenue of a single year, or even to .spread it over a period of two or three years, would be pressing with undue hardship upon a very numerous class of proprietors, with a very small amount of pro perty; for out of the number of 4,000 holders of the be ordinary stock of th e company a very large portion may widows, or persons of slender income, to whom the amount of the dividend is a very great considera tion, and I think we should feel it to be a harsh and cruel step to deprive them of tho income which they have been led to expect, by appropriating a large por tion of the receipts of any particular half-year to per manent i mprovements, the benefits of which would be spread over a very long period. As to the 120,0001. which we t a lk o f spen d ing, the goo d s s t oc k which will be provided by it v.ill last on the average for ten years, and the goods yard and the line which is to be constructed with it will last, one may an ticipate, for nearly a century. The other improvements lf _nea of stations w ill a ll l ast f or a l on g time—morn a generation, wo ma y sa y, than for thel ted p eriod er f four or five y ears; an d, th e refore, if w e were to prop ose that the wh o l e o f t h a t amount should be taken out o f the dividends in a very short period of. time, I think it would he pressing toe bar d upon a class of our sma ll proprietors, and 1 should be reluctant to do so, c ons id t r ing that though it is o vital importance th a t we should not resort to capital, but should carry out th e pr i nc i ple of keeping, our capital account closed, yet I should Le afraid to try to do too much, o r to put th e screw t oo severely upon the pres ent p ro p r ietors, by proposing to appropriate to a large a per-centage-30 or 40 p - r cent. —to meet it.that think the pressure would come, not froin the proprietors, but that the directors them selves would be driven to interfere, in order to re-oven the capital account. I think it is much better to do tha t w hi c h Is prudent and practicable than to attempt (Tr thing which cannot b e carried out to in d pract ice. te G e ntlemen, as regard s t h e secur i ty a ff or k ll is p u blic by this mod e o f proceeding, which, 0 7 ciio; h fi the main que s ti on , f or it is a ques tion 0 deuce—by the plan Which we propose, ui ()Wei' 19 pro- .„- dee • ; vile the money required to raised for the Orpone of the additional expenditure, 10 per cent, will be taken. every year as a sinking fund, and 4 per cent. for inte rest. Therefore, the money which is raised for those purpcses will be raised in the first instance at 14 per cent. I think those who are at all acquainted with the present state of railway dividend accounts must be aware of the impossibility of directors, even if they were so dis posed. if I may call it cribbing, anything like 14 per cent. from the expenditure, in order to eke out the divi dends of any one half-year. While money is raised at 4 per cer3,, there is no doubt an impression upon the mind of the public that auditors and boards of directors are too fond of spending out of capital instead of out of the current receipts of the year, to some extent, so as to eke out the dividend—the inducement being to make the dividend as good as possible; fur I need not say that directors always like to meet their proprietors with the announcement of as good a dividend as possible. It is pleasanter to meet the body of proprietors with a good dividend than with a bad one; and with capital raised at 4 per cent. no doubt there is an opening for assisting your revenue to some extent out of your capital; but when you come to pay 14 r cent. upon your immediate outlay, as will be the case now, unless yon sup pose gross and palpable dis honesty on the part of the directors, and equally gross and palpable supineness on the part of the shareholders, it would be utterly impossible to conceive that the effect of this arrangement could be to enable us to pay better dividends than had been honestly and legitimately earned. This, then, is the recommendation, and I think that recommendation will be distinctly understood from the report ; it is that 10 per cent. upon any addi tional outlay beyond the 7,200,0004 is to be taken at the end of each year as it sinking fund, in addition to the current interest which would be payable on that amount. I will only say one word more to p o int out to the proprietors how that probably may affect cur position for the next year or two. We have been accustomed, as you know, to lay aside a sum varying from 10,0001. to 15,0004 a year out of our net revenue towards the accumulation of a reserve fund. The object of that reserve fund was always un derstood to be to create such a fund as might meet any extraordinary accident or unusual expenditure in any particular year, more particularly under the head of " permanent way." In case of a bridge or a tunnel fall ing in, or any slips upon the line occurring, or any ne cessity arising suddenly and unexpectedly, it was felt to be important that we should have a fund in hand, accu mulated out of the revenue, to which we could resort, without being driven to the alternative, either of effect• ing the work out of the dividend of any particular half year, or of re-opening our capital account. That re served fund has now reached the amount of 36,0001., which, with interest, will soon amount to about 40,0004 I confess, according to my nesent view of the case, that that sum may be considered about sufficient for the pur poses for which that reserved fund was destined. I think 40,0001. is quite as much as there is any like lihood of our being called upon to spend in any parti cular half-year, or any particular year, to meet any ex traordinary casualties in the permanent way. It will enable us to renew and replace quite as much of the per manent way in any one year as we could do, without an entire suspension of the whole of our traffic, and would repair any extraordinary casualty that could be contem plated as likely to affect the traffic. I think, therefore, that if a burden to the extent of 10,0004 or 15,A00/. in a year falls upon us, under the head of sinking fund, in order to meet the expenditure required by:our traffic, by ' the time that burden falls upon us we shall be quite in a condition to discontinue the further accumulation of a reserved fund. The practical effect will be that we shall continue to set aside the sum of from 10,000/. to 15,0001. a year out of the revenue; only, instead of setting aside the whole as a reserve fund, we shall set aside the same amount, either wholly or partially, as a i'sinking hind. I believe, put it as you will, that it will be found to be the result in all railways, either that their capital accounts cannot be closed, or they must be satis fied to set aside some portion of their revenue in each year in some shape or other, either in the shape of a sinking fund or a reserved fund, to meet the additional outlay which it is quite certain they will be exposed to so long as the traffic continues, as at present,todeveylooup itself and to increas e . Wi t h an increasing traffic cannot have a closed capital account, unless you aro pre pared to make some sacrifice of the revenue. It will come to this,—are you prepared to submit to a certain moderate sacrifice out of the present dividend, or do you prefer the alternative of having the capital account re opened? I say submit to a moderate deduction from your current dividends—submit to set aside 10,000/. to 15,0001. a year which you have been accustomed to set aside, and I believe the effect will be that the value of your property will stand very much higher after so doing than it would do in the alternative, even although in doing so you were enabled to eke out your dividend. —(Hear, bear.) Ido not know that I have anything more to trouble you with, gentlemen. I shall therefore sit down by moving, " That the report now read, with the half - yearly:statement of accounts, be received." The motion having been seconded was after a short discussion carried with one dissentient only. It was next resolved to add 10,000/. to the reserve fund, and a dividend of 3/, per cent. for the half-year having been declared, the retiring directors elected, and other resolutions of a formal character passed, a vote of thanks to the Chairm a n closed the proceedings. 455 559 19,910 1,595 2,121 1,107 603 1,462 476 1,51 b 10,733 1,282 1,236 2,062 917 229 173 12,718 6,623 753 17,442 4,048 8,184 7,697 6,05 g 6,670 2,512 2,060 Also, by the same Author, I.

" The style is so natural and fresh from the scene, the scene itself in the far interior of Africa so new, and the hazards attending the chase of the formidable beasts of those wilds so great, that it is diffi cult to lay the volumes down until the issue of each adventure, as they rapidly follow one another, has been ascertained.
