The intention, in the first instance, is to open a single lice from Diss to Norwich, and from Manningtree to Harwich, and hereafter to add as the resources of the company shall be realised, a second set of rails on the line to Norwich (earthworks and bridges having in the first instance been constructed fora double line), and to extend the station accommodation as the traffic becomes developed. In addition to the lines and branches constituting the Eastern Union Railway, the directors entered last year into a provisional agreement with the Stour Valley Company for a lease of their line at a guaran teed interest of 5 per cent. and a division of profits beyond that amount ; and that agreement was confirmed by general meetings of the Eastern Union and Ipswich and Bury ComPanies. The Stour Valley R a il way from Marks Tey to Sudbury and Halstead (twenty miles), is under construction; and that company have obtained Parliamentary powers for the extension of their line to Clare and to littry St. Ed mund's, being twenty-tvvo and a half miles; but, no ca pital has been raised or expenditure incurrecLas-to these extensions. The capital agreed to be guaranteed for the line under construction is 300,0004; and it is believed that the earnings of the line willfully cover the amount guaranteed. It was considereti by thti l directors of the Eastern Union Railway an Important protection to the interests of their company to obtain the control of the Stour Valley line; and with this view they determined to take a share of the Stour ;Valley line to the extent of 20,0004, on behalf of the Eastern Union Railway; and with the same view subsequently entered, conjointly with the Ipswich and Bury Company, into the, agreement for the lease of the Stour Valley Railway. for the pay" whole of the the discharge If the line, ' possibir ) 44 ~ ~,,. • • .

The balance sheet has the following items:—creditors, 10,3034; liabilities, 1,3951.; profits on trade, 15,5981.; surplus on the 31st of December, 1843, 3071. And on the credit side were the following: —good debts, 2,1681.; doubtful and bad debts, estimated at 7501.; property given up to assignees, 1,2851.; losses, 5,2511.; trade ex penses, 13,660/.; sums dra wn out b y t h e partners, 3,0001.

The certificate of George Holditch was suspended for 12 months from the date of the fiat (October last), and of the other two bankrupts for six months respectively from the present date.

DEBTORS' June 2. (Before Mr. Commissioner HARRIS.) IN RE GEORGE JONES. Allitaitri.' .-- Mr. DOWSE appeared in support of a rule which he had obtained, calling on the detaining creditor to show cause why the insolvent should not be discharged out of Hull Gaol, having filed his petition and schedule under the Protection Act. Mr. STURGEON to-day showed cause, and submitted that the Court could not release the insolvent upon three grounds:--that the allotment to one commissioner of this court was not in accordance with the statute; that the Court as described in the Act could not be repre sented by a single commissioner; and also that this Court had no jurisdiction to release prisoners confined in gaols more than twenty miles from the General Post office. The Learned Counsol read an affidavit from Mr. Dufour, an attorney of Gray's-inn, setting forth that he believed insolvent had various shares not mentioned in his schedule, and that insolvent in June last stated that he had been commissioned by the King of Prussia to write an historical account of Prussia, and that he intended to set out for Berlin as soon as the Diet as sembled. The deponent added that he believed if in solvent were discharged out of custody now he would leave the kingdom, and not appear to undergo his ex amination. ,_ __ _ ~... .. sausubevary - account 01 the progress of the works. • The statement of the accounts showed that the re ceipts of the company, up to the 31st December, 1847, amounted. to 1,262,121/. Os. 11d. and the expendit ure to 1,244-v486/. 10s. 6d., le av i ng a balance of 17,6341. 10s. sd. The Creuratax said he was prepared to admit that t irne' - tohfe payment a the report w as no t so sat i s f actory as he could wish; but looking at the c i rcumstances of the times, which had in an extraordi nar y d egree affected all railway undertakings, even th ose more fi rmly established than this, he thought there was some excuse for the affairs of the company not being i n so f avourable a state as might have been anticipated. Th e unexampled pecuniary difficulties that had prevailed h a d prevented the directors realising the promises which they h a d h e l d out to the proprietors. The line to Norwich had no t been com pleted,expected it would h ave b een b y this g resp o respect to to postpone the in-- -e ti o i n ey sequence of calls.their W b i e t i h n question the payment of interest, he said un der the Am pay railwayi in terest Committeesost out of t the e capitalhad fixed o f the the ctoimme p em powere d a a: e ; lgamatio o n f Act the directors were for doing so at a period when the line to Norwich might h , be a e n n d r t e th a oe sonably completed.

The directors proposed that the proprietors should raise among themselves and their friends the sum of 100,0004 upon bonds for three years, under the com pany's borrowing powers, the amount to be applied ex clusively to the completion of the Norwich line. Some doubt had been entertained as to the legality of that proceeding, and as to the validity of the security, but the directors had taken the opinion of an eminent lawyer, Mr. J. H. Lloyd, upon the subject, who stated that the holder of any bond might, at the expiration of dthree years, sue the company in his own name, and, in efault of payment, be entitled to judgment and execu ' tion.againatthefitock of the company, or if in London, might attach the money at its bankers ; and in default of other remedies, apply to the Court of Chan. eery and get a receiver appointed. In fact, he said he saw no difficulty in enforcing the payment of the bonds. The directors themselves had commenced a subscription.. list to carry out this proposal, which amounted to about 30,000/. out of the 100,0001. which would be required. The Chairman gave a flattering account of the prospects of the company, stating that within one year iron" the opening of the Ipswich and Bury line, and within two years of the opening of the Ea s t ern U nion line, the tra ffi c h a d exceeded that given in the Parlia mentary estimate, and concluded by pitposing the re ception and adoption of the report. After considerable discussion the report, with the ex ception of that part of it which might imply the con currence of the meeting in the leasing of the Stoar Valley line, was received and ordered to be entered on the miniates..? Subsequently resolutions were passed reducing the slumber of directors to eighteen, appointing the directors and auditors for the ensuing year, fixing the salary of the secretary and auditors, the former at 500/. and the latter at 501. a year, and one authorising the directors to :borrow on mortgage or on lands, at the rate of 6Z per cent., a sum not exceeding one third of the capital of the company. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman and directors, and the meeting separated. R OYAL EXCHANGE ASSURANCE OFFICE, Royal Exchange, 24th May, 1848.

DIRECTORS. Mr. Dowse, in reply, contended that the concluding words of the sixth section gave to a single commissioner all the powers of the aggregate Court ; and if. this Court had no power to release the insolvent now, they would not have any power to make any order to bring him up to be heard, as the insolvent had not been resident for six months in any one place. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said, he would allow the rule to stand over to enable the insolvent to reply to the affidavit which had been read ; and when the matter came before him again he would take an opportunity of consulting one of his learned brethren upon a point of so much importance s.nd novelty.

The following details are given of the arrest of anqui :—The Executive Committee had received nformation: that M. Blanqui, after having taken refuge with several different friends, had at last sought an asylum with M. D—, residing at No. 14, rue Montholon. From the attempt on May 15, he had led an errant life. Pursued by justice, on the very next day after, by means which have not yet been ascertained, he was let out of the Prefecture of Police, M. Blanqui contrived to evade the most active researches. Being an experienced and professed conspirator, full of sang-froid and audacity, he brought into play, with rare ability, all his resources for throw ing his pursuers off the scent. Small in person and weak in constitution, with features which when once known cannot well be ever forgotten, having a deformity w hich makes it extremely painful to him to walk, it was more difficult for him than almost any other man to bear the fatigue of body and anxiety of mind in escaping from the pursuits of justice. But in the great energy of his mind, excited by his desperate situation, he found suf ficient vigour. He not only shaved off his beard, but, it is said, on occasions disguised himself in wo men's clothes. However this may be, and it is not one of the least singular traits of character in this strange personage, Blanqui never ceased to keep up a corre spondence with his principal confederates, and keep in his own hand the strings of the complicated in trigues of the anarchist party. Communications, the correctness of which seemed to be free from doubt, as to Blanqui's retreat, reached the authorities on Friday morning. The house No. 14, rue Montho lon, is inhabited, with other tenants, by M.Berthelin, one of the judges of the Tribunal de Prerniire Instance of the Seine. A. M. D-- occupies the second floor, with his family. The charge of making the search was intrusted to M. Yon, the Commis sary of Police. On this important expedition he went with only a very few officers, but these were men of tried character and vigour. But sufficient forces were placed at his command, and these he posted with great care in the neighbourhood. M. Yon entered the house at half-past five in the after noon, and immediately went up with his men to the apartment of M. D—, who was at dinner with hils wife and daughter, but there was no appearance of BLANQUI having been of the party. The commissary made known the object of his visit. M. D— showed no emotion, but protested that he had not given hospitality to a man in whose opi nions he did not participate, and of whose con duct he disapproved. Nevertheless, M. Yon pro ceeded to make a minute search in all the rooms, closets, corners, and chimneys of the apartment. Finding no one he was about to withdraw, when he suddenly recollected that, although the house was three stories high, the staircase did not ascend beyond the second floor, and that consequently there must be a private staircase from that in which he was to the one above. Renewing the search with increased vigilance, he discovered another door concealed by taestry, which, on being opened, gave entrance to a narrow and very dark staircase. air Yon, as a precaution against any armed resistance, made M. and,Mme. D— go up be fore him. He followed him into a garret, in which was a table spread with all the delicacies of the season, wine and fruit. He found four persons standing at the table, evidently in great agitation. Advancing to one of them, he laid his hand upon him, crying, "Citoyen Blanqui, in the name of the law, I arrest you." Blanqui, who at once resumed his ' habitual coolness, replied with that bitter irony al ways imprinted on his language, "Ah ah ! Citoyen Yon you arrested the patriots under Louis Philippe, and it seems you follow the same trade under the Republic." M. Yon seeing that Blanqui's companions seemed disposed to defend him, though none of them were armed, at least osten sibly so, cried, " Let the injunctions of the law be obeyed, or at my call a company of the National Guard will soon come to my aid." These words seemed to make a deep impression upon them all ; but Blanqui said, " You will at least suffer me to take something before I go." To this M. Yon replied, " Yes. I will allow you to take a glass o water to wash down the papers you have swal lowed." The fact was that Blanqui, on the appear ance of the Commissary and his men, had put some papers into his mouth. He was then immediately conducted by the officer to the Conciergerie, where he underwent a long examination before the magistrates appointed to investigate the circum stances of the attempt of the 15th. At three o'clock in the morning, Blanqui was committed to the fort of Vincennes. Among the persons who were with Blanqui in the rue Montholon, all of whom made their escape, was, it is said, M. Lacambre. This ar rest was made with so much precaution that no one in the neighbourhood was aware at the time of what was passing. According to an account in the Presse, Blanqui, while being conveyed from Paris to Vin cennes, talked in the most incoherent manner, he wept, laughed, and sung by turns ; he spoke of his wife, of his children. There wa3, he said, but one Republican in France, and that was himself. On arriving at Vincennes he said, " Let me not be placed near Barbes, he is a fool—he has lost the game—he is a bad player." lie afterwards fell into a complete state of prostration. When his keeper brought him some food, he said to him, " Go, and tell them, that, if they have the head of Blanqui, they have not got the rest ; before a month I shall be higher than the cathedrals ; go, and tell them that." The Procureur of the Republic, accompanied by an exam i n i ng magis trate, was to have interrogated M. Blanqui on Satur day morning.

James Henry Bradbury, who had been examined some time ago as a particeps criminis with a man named Clark, in committing forgeries upon Masterman's bank ing -house, was brought up on a fresh charge of having forged a check for 3001. upon the banking-house of Dixon and Co., of Chancery-lane, in the name of Mr. Mayhew, of Carey-street, solicitor. Mr. Mullens, of the firm of Bush and Mullens, solici tors to the Committee of Bankers for Protection against Forgeries and Frauds, appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Wontner attended for the prisoner. Mr. S. Warr, clerk to Messrs Dixon and Co., said, in December Messrs. Mayhew, Son, and Reynolds kept an account at Messrs. Dixon's. On the 18th of that month a cheque purporting to be drawn by the firm for 3001., payable to Mr. Harrison for debt and costs, was paid by me in notes for 2751. and 25/. in gold, The three 50/. notes produced are part of those with which I paid the cheque. George Walker, servant to Lord Sudeley, of 35, Dover-street, Piccadilly, said, in December last I was out of a situation, and I advertised in the Times for one, and received a letter in reply, appoint.. ing me to go to the Grotto Tavern in South ampton-buildings. I accordingly went there, and saw the prisoner, who engaged me as a messenger for a gentleman at Blackheath at 265. per week. I was to call at the Grotto next day to see the gentleman. I did call, and I saw the prisoner, who took me to 51, Lincoln's Inn-field, where lie left me in the passage and went up the steps himself. I was to wait for him. In a few minutes he came down, and told me he wanted me to go for a Great Western Railway bill to the Golden Cross, Charing-cross, and he gave me a shilling to pay out of it for the bill. I returned without the bill, and he told me to get my dinner with the shilling. He said, the gentleman was not yet arrived, and ho then asked me to go to the Bank of England and get him seven sovereigns' worth of silver. When I returned with the silver I met him at the entrance to 51, Lincoln's Inn fields, and ho gave me a shilling, and told me to go round the corner and get a glass of stout. I did so, and he came to me in a hurried manner, and said he wanted me to go to Chancery-lane. He then gave me the address of Mr. Dixon's banking-house and a pocket book like a bill case with a cheque in it. I took the cheque to Dixon's, and received in pay of it four 51. notes and other notes, and 25/. in gold, and I returned and gave the whole of the money to the prisoner, who was at the entrance of 51, Lincoln's Inn-fields. He then gave me six shillings for the day's work, and said I was of course engaged to the gentleman, who would write to me when my services were required. The next time I saw him was in prison. I gave information to Messrs. Mayhew of the circumstance. Cross-examined by Mr. WONTNER—I did not send the cheque, but I received 300/. in payment. The first witness said, this man (George Walker) is the person to whom I paid the cheque. Mr. Alfred Mayhew, of Carey-street, stated that he kept an account at Dixon's at the time. The cheque in question was not signed by him. The signature is a very good imitation of my writing. I never authorized him or any other person to sign it for me. Mr. T. Hunt, of 151, Tottenham court-road--I re ceived one of the 501. notes produced from the prisoner on the 28th ofJanuary, 1848. He purchased a wedding ring, a keeper, and a silver milk pot, and he paid me with the note, on which he wrote the name and address, "Singleton, Great Guildford.street." H. Beachan, in the service of Mr. Collins of Regent street, jewell e r an d s il versmith, said he sold a wedding ring, a keeper, and half a dozen silver spoons to the best of his knowledge, to the prisoner, who paid him with another of the 50/. notes produced. The dealing took place soon after Christmas. The prisoner, who it was stated had been successful in a great number of instances by the ingenious manoeu vres described in the foregoing evidence, was remanded, in order that several other cases might be a brought f again s t hi m. Clark, who it will be recollected, was in former case in which a person who advertised for a situ ation employed to receive the amount of a forged cheque, charged with being an accomplice of Bradbury, was subsequently brought before the Lord Mayor, and also remanded. Clark's business was to follow the uncon scious person employed by Bradbury, to see that all was right st the banking-house. Mrs. Bell, the widow of Mr. James Bell, who for up wards of fifty years carried on the business of a news vendor at the Royal Exchange, applied to Alderman Moon, who sat for the Lord Mayor, for assistance under circumstances of peculiar hardship and embarrassment. Her object, she stated, was to obtain pecuniary assist ance to enabled he to bring up her family, who are now dependent upon her for support, and she stated that if she could procure a fund sufficient to enable her to com mence business, a number of gentlemen connected with the city, who had long known and respected her deceased husband, would most willingly and zealously engage in for warding her views. Alderman MOON said, he bad known Mr. Bell for many years, and was well acquainted with his integrity and many excellent qualities. 11e should feel great pleasure in promoting a subscription, and entertained no doubt, if the hardship of the case were publicly known, many benevolent individuals would feel that it was neces sary for them to use their exertions to relieve the desti tute condition of the widow. He believed the Lord Mayor would most willingly consent to receive contribu tions for the benefit of the family. The LORD MAYOR subsequently said, upon being in formed of the appeal, that he had known Mr. Bell for many years, and much respected his character and family, and he would certainly not only contribute him self, ,but promote and receive subscriptions for Mrs. Bell. GUILDHALL. A German named Hann Frederick Kohn, of No. 28, Skinner -street, Bishopsgate, was brought up in custody of J. Dalton, 336, on the charge of presenting a. forged bill for 2101. at Messrs. Hoare and Co.'s, the bankers, in Fleet-street. Richard Harrison, a clerk at Messrs. Hoare and Co.s', stated, that about half•past ten o'clock on Thursday morning, the prisoner presented the bill produced for 2101. for payment. It purported to be drawn by Charles Guthrie, and accepted by George James Guthrie, and was dated the 29th of March, 1848, payable in two months. It was due on Thursday, and what roused wit ness's suspicion was that Mr. G. J. Guthrie was not in the habit of accepting any bills whatever. The hand writing was a good resemblance, but ho showed it to the other clerks in the establishment who were accustomed to see Mr. Guthrie's handwriting, and they concurred that the handwriting was doubtful, and that it Ives not the gentleman's practice to have anything to do with bill transactions. As the prisoner stated that he received the bill from a gentleman who was waiting at a coffee house near Leicester-square, {1 ituess deemed it prudent to send the porter with him to Mr. Guthrie, to ascertain the genuineness of the signature. Oa their . return the I porter said that he had seen Mr. Guthrie, who repudiated all knowledge of the document ; and the prisoner was told that the bill would be detained. He then requested that some acknowledgment should, be given to him that the bill had been detained; but witness de clined doing so, and told him to send the gentleman from whom he had received it. No person calling about it, in the oourse of an hour or two witness and the porter went to a coffeehouse in New-street, Covent-garden, to see if the gentleman was to be found there. The gen tleman not being found there, it was decided that the prisoner should be taken into custody, which was accord ingly done. Abraham Thomas Hopson, porter to Messrs. Hoare, the bankers, said, that he was in the banking-house on the morning in question when the bill was presented by the prisoner, and observing that there was some diffi culty about it, and that Mr. Harrison was showing it t o several other gentlemen, he remained in the way. Ulti mately it was settled that he should take a cab, and, ac companied by the prisoner, go to Mr. Guthrie's house and see if all was right. He did so, and on showing the bill to that gentleman, and asking him if any portion of it was his writing, he said it was not, and that he hoped the bill would not be paid. He and the prisoner then left and returned to Mr. Harrison, and having commu nicated what had transpired the prisoner was allowed to depart. Alderman HUNTER wished to know the nature of any conversation that had passed between the prisoner and witness. Hopson replied, that both on going to and coining from Mr. Guthrie's the prisoner gave his address, and said th a t h e saw the person who gave h i m t h e bill wr i te his name on the back of it. He was a stranger, and he did not know either his name or address, as he only met haps used againstgen t h ic ico rn him at a coffee-shop, where ho went to get his meals (alluding to the house in New-street). He declared that he had never seen the man before; in fact he was a a na nd ak s e ee a i n n y g perfect stranger to him. si othbeservations he liked in his defence. go e r t s o e the en t b Alderman HUNTER, after 'having Cautioned the pri pr e e a q r u e e d s requested to end soner that his statement would be taken down, and per he thought it was all tr 'l t L i The prisoner, in a few words, said that he could only said f.nwklvre write se. ; a ga.h t namisl td he name re w mt ot a ewhv s eero a i nbat t written el tdln liberty hcce oahsnb Charles back, dh t ek o es; state that, being is the coffee-shop mentioned, he was back of the bill was "F.

Mr. Alderman HUNTER. called this witness, who ess, gave his name as John Henry Huisgen, the owner of the coffee -shop in New-street, Covent-garden. He said that on Wednesday ithe prisoner came to him, and wished to know if he could :give him any employment, and he told him to call the inext morning, which he did about ten o'clock. An elderl i man catered y immediately after, and ca ll e d f or a cup of whether t eoffee, after which he asked witness his son was 'in, and on receiving a reply in the negative, he turned to the prisoner and asked him if he had any objection to go as far as Fleet-street and get money for a bill. The pri soner said he would go, and he (witness) saw the elderly man write his name on the hack of the bill. The latter person he (witness) had seen two or three times before, but he had never seen the prisoner and him together. Alderman HUNTER said, that as Mr. Guthrie would be a necessary witness, and an adjournment must take place ifor his attendance, he thought the better course would be to remand the prisoner until Tuesday, without going into further evidence ; at the same time he would have no objection to allow the prisoner out on bail, himself in 80/. and one surety in 404 In default of bail he was taken to prison. BOW-STREET. James Grant, a'messenger at the Masters in Chancery offices, in Southampton-buildings, Chancery-lane, his two children (a little boy and girl), and Ann Baker, the laundress to the chambers, were charged with stealing 5001 b. weight of law reports, Acts of Parliament, papers Parliamentary reports, &c., from the rooms to which they had access. During the week a negro vendor of waste paper was taken into custody on suspicion of stealing a quantity of printed sheets found in his possession, IN owing to cer tain disclosures made by him Police Sergeants Thompson and Pocock were induced to make inquiries of a Mr. Frewin, a cheesemonger and dealer in waste paper, living in High Holborn, from whom they ascertained that the bundles of papers and reports produced had been purchased4from time to time, of the prisoners at the bar, who had represented themselves as entitled to the same, as :perquisites, when the Masters had no further use for them. He had known the Grants for many years as customers, and had been in the habit of :occa sionally purchasing waste paper of the children and the laundress for about two years, or probably more. He gave 2d. per lb. for it, which was the trade price. He had sometimes questioned the laundress, but never sus pected that the Grants had no right to the things which they brought to him for sale. A clerk in the office, named Roden, identified many of the reports and papers as the property of Mr. W. Wing field, the Master in Chancery, although, not having oc casion for them, they had not been missed from the shelves until the police-officers drew his attention to the circumstance. It appeared that, of the immense quan tity of papers and reports produced, many belonged to Sir W. Horne and Mr. Farrer, and other Masters in Chancery. I The elder prisoner, Grant, admitted that he had sent his children to dispose of dirty, useless, unbound publi cations, for which he had the sanction of a Mr. Smith, till lately a clerk in the office; but he denied all know ledge of the sale of the books and reports. Baker said, that whatever she had sold to Mr. Frewin was received from either Grant or his wife or their children; and the latter said that they only sold the sweepings of the offices. Mr. HENRY doubted if Frewin ought not to be placed in the dock with the prisoners, for his share in the trans actions, and he should therefore require him to enter into his own recognizances to appear at the next exami nation. The prisoners were then remanded. The magistrates, as well as all the officers of the Court, have been detained till midnight, during the early part of the week, in the event of any disturbances arising from the probable congregation of Chartists and thieves in the streets of the metropolis after dusk. MAR LBOROUGH -STREET Thomas Barnard, whose real name is said to be Ram hall, a solicitor, living at 11, President -street, Goswell road, was brought up for final examination, charged with having committed various robberies at the Great Western Railway station. The first charge was for stealing a portmanteau, con taining a quantity of wearing apparel and a cheque for 1,800/., the property of the Rev. Francis Attree, Eaton-place. The prisoner said he would not say anything in the• absence of his professional adviser. He was fully committed on this charge. The prisoner was again charged with having stolen a. portmanteau from the Great Western Railway station, the property of Mr. John Davis, land agent, of Banbury.. The prosecutor said, on Monday, the 15th of May, he. arrived at Paddington by the Great Western Railway.. He missed his portmanteau, containing wearing apparel and other property of the value of between 301. and 40/.. Police.sergeant Gray said he produced a portmanteau,. pledged for ss. by the prisoner. Witness found the• ticket in the prisoner's pocket. Mr. Davis identified the portmanteau. George Smith, assistant to Mr. Ashman, said, the' prisoner pledged the portmanteau on the 30th of May for ss. The prisoner was fully committed on this charge. There were four or five other cases of a similar nature,. which the prisoner was believed to be concerned in, but. Mr. Collard, the superintendent, said, these two cases,. being quite clear, would for the present be sufficient. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. EASTERN UNION. The first general meeting of this company since its: amalgamation with the Ipswich and Bury Company Was. held yesterday afternoon at Radley'sllotel, Bridge-street, Blackfriars. J. C. Cobbold, Esq., M.P., in the chair. The report stated that the Eastern Union Railway Acts authorised the construction of a line from Colches ter to Norwich, with branches to Harwich, to Had leic,rh. and to Bury, making 98 miles of Railway.. The main line from Colchester to Haughley (31i- miles)., and the branches to Bury (12 miles), and to Had • leigh (7 miles), had been completed and opened. Th.e continuation of the ma i n li ne f rom H aug hl ey to Nor wich (33 miles, includi ng th e b ranc h to t h e Y armout h line), was in course of construction : a portion of it to. Finningham on the road to Dias, 6 miles beyond Stow market, will be opened for traffic early in June. The line to Long Stratton, ten miles from Norwich, might if the funds were brought forward, be without difficulty opened in the course of this year; and to Norwich by Midsummer, 1849. Tho branch to Harwich (eleven_miles), had b ee n contracted for, part of the materials were were already on the ground, and the lino of the o u ne imme diately be u n d e r construction. The cost of w whole those lines when completed, including plant and perma nent stations, and all the extra expense entailed by severe Parliamentary contests, would not exceed 2,0001. per mile. The traffic upon that portion of the line which is at work had been found to exceed considerably the esti mated amount; and justified the conclusion that the line when opened to Norwich would, with a greatly reduced per centage of working expenses, yield a satisfac tory return upon the capital expended on it. It being most essential that the line to Norwich should be opened with the least possible delay, a n d that tbe capital of the company already expended should thereby be rendered at an early period productive and remunerative, the directors recommended the share• holders to raise among themselves, on bonds for three years, under the company's borrowing powers, the sum required for the immediate and vigorous prosecution of the works to Norwich. With the same view, the di rectors submitted to the consideration of the shareholders the expediency either of postponing ,the payment of the interest authorised by th e company's Act to be made up out of capital for the year, 1848, until after the opening of the line to Norwich, taking credit for the same, and for interest thereon in the DERBY, UTTOXETER, AND STAFFORD. A general meeting of the scripholders was held yes terday at the George and Vulture Tavern, Mr. Nash in thc chair. The report stated that since the last meeting, on the 21st of July, 1846, Mr. Henry's claim against the com pany was referred to arbitration, and out of a claim of .5,1351. he was awarded 180/., and costs amounting to 1,6451., which were taxed down to 9571. He brought iseparate actions against 31 members of the committee, 'which increased the costs. Tho claim of Mr. Higgins was settled with his assignees ; it was agreed to pay 'them 750/. in discharge of his claim of 3,7741.; each party to pay his own costs. The claim of Mr. Richardson for 1281. was settled for 891. Including Mr. Wild's claim for 1,1501., actions had been brought against the com pany for 10,1881., which the committee had defended and settled for 1,145/. Mr. Wood had claimed for levelling the sum of 133/., which was not admitted by the committee. They offered him 301. to withdraw his action; he de manded 1001., which they refused, on the ground that it might encourage other parties to bring actions against the company. After the solicitor's bills were taxed, the committee returned 27,508/. to the shareholders, as the first instalment of 325. 6d. per share on 16,928 shares, of which 16,863 had been paid upon; on the remaining 65 shares the 1051. for the first instalment still remains unpaid. The sum of 6,671/. was available for a further instalment of Bs. per share. But since the report was prepared, and the meeting called, Mr. Henry had made a claim ou their solicitors, Messrs. Grey and Illidge, for the costs of the survey. In this untoward position the committee were advised that they could not part with the funds in fairness to the country directors or to them selves, as it is possible they might be liable to their solicitors should Mr. Henry recover anything against them; which they do not apprehend will be the case. Having a common interest with...the shareholders, they cannot incur a greater liability, especially as they have laboured on behalf of the scripholders. This claim prevented the contemplated division of the funds at present. The accounts to the 23d of May showed that 39,5331. had been received, and 32,164/. expended, including 27,4021. returned to the shareholders, leaving a balance of 7,364/.; of which it was proposed to reserve 4991. for liabilities, and 99/. for winding up the affairs of the CUM pally, dividing the rest. r. Mr. COVEN complained of the amount of the solici tor's bills; he thought they were a great deal too high. He stated that one of the clerks of the company had been going about to buy up the shares of the com pany at the rate of 3s. 6d. each, and that he had also endeavoured to borrow money on them. He thought that a stop ought to be put to such proceedings. The Secretary, the Chairman, and members of the committee of management, all declared that it was the first time they heard of it; they denied having any deal ings in shares whatever; they would not countenance such a proceeding. Mr. GREY, the solieitnr, explained the reason why the expenses were so much: he had to defend thirty-one actions brought by Mr. Henry against members of the committee. _ _ After a warm discussion with reference to the m a . nagernent of the . company's aff,airs, a committee W AS appointed to investigate them. The meeting then sepa rated. ott `;i;*)lls7 DREADFUL BOILER ACCIDENT IN SOUTH STAF• yo,Ds/HRE.—DUDLEY, FRIDAY. —A boiler explosion, attended with dreadful loss of life, occurred this morning in this neighbourhood. About half-past six o'clock an alarming noise, which resembled that of an earthquake, was heard at a distance. It was soon, however, dis covered to have been caused by a frightful explosion of a boiler belonging to Mr. Jeffries, at the Heart's Hill Works, Brierly-hill, situated at about one mile from this town. It appears that the night men in the employment of the above gentleman were at work, when suddenly one of the boilers in use burst with a terrific noise, smashing the brick-work surrounding it, destroying a great part of the buildings adjacent, and unfortunately killing all who were near it, and many at a considerable distance from the place. Owing to the great confusion prevailing, the number of sufferers has not yet been ascertained; but up to ten o'clock ten dead bodies had been found. Others, it is feared, will be found in a canal which passes near the works. One man who was proceeding to the works was killed, by some pieces of iron and stone, at a distance of 200 yards from Heart's Hill. Although the loss of life is very great, a fortunate circumstance prevented it from being much greater. The day men, from some cause, were not to come to work until eight o'clock; had they been assembled, the loss of life would have been immense. The cause of the explo sion is, ot course, as yet unknown. Mr. J. Mackworth Powell had an interview with Earl ..s!t Granville yesterday, at the office of the Board of Trade ' , sv; to explain his invention for obviating the difficulties of the break of gauge; and also the carriage of goods from one railway station to another without any unpacking '0 731 ' 3 repacking.
