The ordinary half-yearly meeting of this company was held to-day at the Euston-station Terminus ; Mr. Richard Moon, the chairman, presiding. The report and statement, which have been pub lished, were taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving their adoption, said that he trusted, on the whole, the shareholders would be satisfied with the result as developed in the report. It must be remembered that the rail way interest - had to contend with very adverse cir cumstances during the past half year in respect to the depressed state of the money market and in crease of wages, and, what affected this company specially, the state of the iron trade. Their traffic had increased, and the expenses had also consider ably increased, even to the extent of lfd. per mile per train. That increase had taken place notwith standing that every effort on the part of the ma nagement had been made to keep it doWn consis tently with the efficiency of the working of the company's line. There was nothing peculiar in the increase of .the expenses of this company, for it was common to all the railways throughout the United Kingdom. The results of the past half-year enabled the directors to declare a dividend of 6 per cent. per annum for the past half-year. £15,000 has been carried to the reserve fund for the past, half-year, while on the preceding half-year the amount had been deducted from that fund. He then proceeded to contrast the financial position of .t.ke company with other corres ponding periods, and drew a favourable inference as to the progressive prosperity of the company. (Hear, hear.) The increase in the expenses to which he alluded were general, and as regarded the perma nent way £40,000 had been expended during the last five years on that item of their outlay. Out of 60 miles, the rails of which had been constructed of steel, the cost of 28 miles necessarily came out of the revenue account. They had also to contend with an expense of £15,000 arising from the rate on the importation of cattle in consequence of the cattle disease, which was a new charge on their funds. The motion was seconded. • _ _ Mr. MORGAN, ~ a shareholder, complained of the practice which had been adopted by successive directors of keeping up the dividend at a fixed rate, instead of allowing it to be regulated by the profits on the income derived from the profits of the half year, which would be the most straightforward course, and which would enable the shareholders to know the real value of their stock. He expressed his approval of the course adopted in Parliament by Lord Redesdale in attempting to oppose a check to the joint-stock companies applying to Parliament for sanction when they had not the probability of bring ing their schemes to a successful issue. He ex pressed himself satisfied with the statement of the chairman and the report submitted to the meeting. _ _ The CHAIRMAN said that the accounts of the company were kept in the most satisfactory manner, and, with reference to the £15,000 taken from the reserve fund last year, it was rendered necessary for a special purpose. A larger amount of receipts from the English and Scotch traffic had been rea lised than was originally expected. He stated (in reply to another shareholder) that it was necessary for the efficient working of the company to keep a large stock of stores always on hand, but the ex pense arising from that item had been kept as low as possible. The motion was then agreed to. On the motion for the payment of a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, Mr. FIELDING strongly objected to the share holders, who were Dissenters, being called on to contribute to the building of a Church of England chapel at Crewe. The CHAIRMAN deprecated anything like a re ligious element being imported into the proceedings. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The management considered that they were justified in having a place of worship at Crewe, and as the members of the Church of England formed the majority of the country, they thought it only right that the chapel should be for the members of that denomination. The motion was agreed to without further .dis- cussion. The meeting was then made special for the pur pose of creating new capital, the amount of £447,910 in pursuance of the London and North Western Railway (New Works and Additional Powers) Act, 1865, for the construction of diffe rent branch railways, and other works connected with the company. Rssolutions sanctioning the proposed creation of capital and ether objects were agreed to. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the Chairman and Board of Directors. LORD DERBY, who has been in office barely six weeks (says Public Opinion), has had the nomimations to four judgeships, a bishopric, two garters, and two lord lieutenancies, while he has created six peers, throe baronets, and a dozen privy councillors. THE EPISCOPAL PALACE AT MAYFIELD.—The Palace at Mayfield, which has been visited by the members of the British Archreological Association, has been restored by Mr. Pugin within the last few years at a cost of £4,000. The "mitre formed of roses," which Sussex people have so thoroughly believed in, is stated by Mr. Pugin to be ft simply the panel at the back of what was the principal seat in the hall, and which is diapered with fioriated pateras." NEW COMEDY.—A new comedy, which in literary merit is far above the average of now pieces, was produced with great success at the Prince of Wales Theatre, Liver- Pool, by Miss Mario Wilton's London company, last night. The comedy is from the pen of Mr. T. W. Robertson, the author of "Society" and "David Garrick," and is a con firmation of the high anticipations formed some time ago of that gentleman's dramatic abilities. LAVENDER WATER.--The lavender crop of this season is unusually fine. At Ilitchin, in Hertfordshire, on the woll-knoyn lavender farm of Mr. Perks, the plants aro of unusual size and fragrance. Such fine heads have not been seen in England for many years, and the weather has permitted the flowers to bo collected fresh and with their bloom upon them, the conditions on which the goodness of the lavender water of any season depends. MURDER IN BIRMINGHAM. —A:shocking murder was perpetrated in Hurst-street, Birmingham, yes terday morning, by William Smith, one of the scene shif ters at Day's Concert-hall. The deceased Elizabeth Smith resided with her husband, and they had for a lodger a young woman named Catherine Bradworth, fog signal maker. There appears to have been some misunderstand ing between deceased and her husband for some time past, and on the latter returning home on Wednesday evening about 12 o'clock some words ensued, which resulted in a quarrel, when the husband took out a knife, and attacking his wife furiously, attempted to strike her. She escaped from him out of the house, but he overtook her in the yard, and cut her throat in a frightful manner. Catherine Bradworth, who witnessed the commencement of the quarrel, followed them out to interpose between the wife and husband, and in the encounter received a severe gash across the left eye. An alarm was raised, and Inspector Spear, with ono or two officers, were promptly on the spot. Bradworth was taken to the Queen's Hospital by a man who was passing at the time, and her wounds weree promptly attended to by the house surgeons. While the medical officers wore attending to her, the body o f t th e e murdered woman was taken to the Queen's Hospital by policeman. The murderer was taken into custody. At the station he said he had no knowledge of thnetthre ody i of A purse, amongst other things, was found on that it 'WAS the deceased, but it was so filled with b it contained. scarcely possible to decipher the tick ets very dangerous state.

The Supreme Court of Michigan has worried itself very much of late in attempting to discover what is a white man. A simple mind, unaccustomed to subtle distinctions, would find no difficulty in deciding, but would at once assert that a white ma il is a man who is white. But such stupidity must arouse the disgust of every profound philosopher. It has been clearly established by the laws of every Southern State, and several Northern States, i ll .. eluding Michigan, that a man may be a white man, and at the same time a black man. Everything depends upon the cartilage of the nose. " A certain peculiarity of the cartilage of the nose," says the scientific testimony taken before the Circuit Court of Wayne county, " is an infallible indica- tiou of African blood." This is truly an appalling fact, and may lead to the amputation of a large number of noses—for if a man is only a nigger by reason of that organ, let him cut it off, and instantly he rises in the scale of races. With his nose, no matter how handsome it is, h e i s _ _ a born inferior, destined to follow his nose upon a downward career. Without his nose such a man may dine with the President. Let every man, then, look to his cartilage; for we greatly fear that black men with pretended white noses are conunon. The hair proves nothing—so the same scientific autho rity has established—for a black man may, even without a wig, have a white man's hair. Wool, or hair, the mulatto may have either, but cannot have both. Besides, he may be bald, and then what becomes of the test ? Under these circumstances, all persons with booked proboscises may be sus pected of a sinister design to conceal their cartilage ; but the candid snub-nose, which is always turned up for the inspection of the world, must at once remove suspicion. When ever the reader has any doubt that an apparently white man may really be a negro in disguise, he has only to approach the person, and with a polite apo logy examine with his fingers the cartilage of his nose. According to the appearance of the carti.. lage he may then bow and say, " I am satisfied, my dear sir, you are not a negro ;" or " Leave, me, vile impostor ! with that cartilage do you dare to pretend to be white ?" Such an examination was ac tually made in Michigan before the Court referred to. An unfortunate man named Dean, being entirely ignorant that he was a negro, attempted to vote at a local election, and was arrested for violation of the laws. Ile brought numerous wit nesses, who testified that they had known him and his family for many years, and to the best of their- knowledge there was not a drop of negro blood in his body. But this availed him not. A certain Dr. Pitcher examined his nose before the court, and from the conformation of his cartilage alone he was pronounced to be but fifteen-sixteenths of a white man, the remaining sixteenth being pure African. The defendant appealed to the Supreme Court, and that intelligent body sustained the nose, and the man, we believe, was punished for voting contrary to law. Chief Justice Martin, who dissented from this decision, has furnished an opinion which will shock the community. He contends that a preponderance of white blood constitutes the man white, and actually scorns the idea that by any authority of law, or principle of reason, one-sixteenth or one thirty-second of Afri can blood can exclude a man from citizenship. This wild and frantic argument will only excite derision. It carefully ignores the existence of the nasal cartilage, though the judge afterwards ad mits everything, by his ironical suggestion that nose-pullers should be appointed by the Govern ment to attend the polls, and snub all noses which cannot prove a clean record. In the meanwhile, a general feeling of uneasiness must pervade the coat • munity.—New York Tribune, Aug. 2. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. GRAVESIMD, Friday Morning.

The French Societyfor assisting the freed negroes in the United States has just published two addresges, — one to the Queen of Spain, thanking her for the pleasures of which she had taken the initiativa for the abolition of the slave trade, and praying her to continue that good work by abolishing slavery itself in the colonies of Cuba and Porto Rico ; the second, to t he Emperor of Brazil, makes a similar appeal on behalf of the negroes of his do- minions.
