Mr. Itamt bad his lawyers. and so had poor Jenny, Who now, It appears, has to pay a rare penny. Two Thousand Five Hundred, besides all expenses, Is enough to make Jenny bereft of her senses. Tleis minstrel, whose music has made us so fond, Has to pay this amount, having broken her bond ; Tea, in spite of the speeches of counsel vehement, Jenny Lind is declared to have broken agreement. And certainly that is a serious charge. Which should give a broad hint to the public at large. I leave thought since I beard of this action of Bunn, Of the public agreement of MOSES and SON. B. MOSES and SON, as oa all must respond, Have never been known to dishonour their bond. 111 the whole of their promises, no matter what, They've stuck to their contract, if Jenny has not. Their Dress•coats are proofs that they stick to their terms, And the whole of their stock this agreement confirms. Their elegant fashion, and quality, too, Are preens that they keep their agreement in view ; And an action should ne'er been entered by Bunn, Had Ike " Nightinga s le" acted like MOSES and SON LIT OF Fitteixs.

Incorporated by Royal Charter. Capital, 200,0001., is 2,000 Shares of 1001. cash. DinEcTons JOHN MACGREGOR, Esq., Chairman. Captain C. It. Drinkwater Bethune, R.N., C.B. Alexander Nairne, Esq., Director of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. Hugh Hamilton Lindsay, Esq. Sir John Pixie, hart., Depaty-Chairman of the Penin sular and Oricatal Steam Navigation Company. Henry Wire, Esq. BANKF.ItS- -Messrs, Glyn, Hallifax, Mills, and Co., London. The objects of this Company are to carry CI mining, agricultural, and trading operations in the Eastern Archipelago, and the acquiring and disposing of lands in the Island of Labuan and the parts adjacent —a region abnuading in mineral wealth, most algae in all the valu able tropical productions, and very happily situate for the purposes of commerce. The Island of Labuan has been formally taken possession of by the Crown of Great Critain ; and, by a treaty with the Sultan of Borneo, many highly important advantages ore permanently secured to this country. Piracy in the eastern seas will now be effectually suppressed, and, under the protection of the British flag at Labuan, a new era as regards those regions, has commenced, winch affords the most fa vourable opportunity for successfully accomplishing the objects of this Company. To those who are at all acquainted with the Indian Archipelago, it Is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the advantages to be derived from this undertaking. The important discovery of an abundant sup ply of excellent coal on the mainland of Borneo, in the immediate vi cinity of Labuan, is a circumstance which of itself would render this enterprise pregnant with the most beneficial results. A formal grant of this coal, extending through a district of about 15b miles, has been obtained from the Sultan of Borneo, and is, with the approval of her Majesty's Government, now held by Mr. Wise, with whom arrange ments for its working will be made. The working of the coal mines will form an important feature in the operations of the Company, The geographical position of the Borneo coal districts in relation to our Eastern possessions, and to the steam communications which are now carried on, and others which are about to be carded on in con nexion therewith, is a matter of peculiar interest, and even of na tional importance. Tke Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, for instance, disburse mere than 130,0001. annually for coal for their steam-vessels, of which sum about 90,0001/ are ex pended in coal used to the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope. This coal. as well as the requisite supplies for the steam vessels of her Majesty's navy, and for these of the Honourable East India Com pany on the India and China stations, is at present chiefly furnished from England, at an average cost exceeding 335. per ton ; so that the eependiture by her Majesty's Government, the Honourable East In dia Company. sad the Peninsular and Oriental Company for the s:n gle item of coal, will be considerably reduced as soon as the opera tions of the Eastern Archipelago Company are sufficiently matured to admit of their supplying the several depots which have been esta blished at Hong-Kong, Singapore, and other places, with coal for the use of the rnany,British and Foreign stfe.m-vessels re7orting to those ports. The certain increase in the consumption of coal In the eastern seas, from the causes already mentioned, and the opening of other channels of demand, cannot fail eventually to augment the use of Borneo coal. The projected steam communication between Singapore and our Australian colonies—the probable communication by the same means at no distant period, between the various British settle ments to the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope and the west coast of America—as well as the system of railways now about to be esta blished in India—are events eminently calculated to occasion an immense consumption of Borneo coal, the more so as it can be sup plied at comparatively moderate rates. Samples of the Labuan and Borneo coal have been brought over to this country by Mr. Wise, and submitted by her Majesty's Government to a careful examination and analysis by competent parties, with a most satisfactory result. The Borneo coal has also been pronounced by the Calcutta oak Committee, appointed by the Bengal Government, to be equal to the best English coal ; and Captain Wattage, in his report on the supplies of coal obtained from the seam at Labuan, for the use of the Honourable East India Company's steam-ship Nemesis, dated Sarawak, 10th June, 1847, observes—" I have no hesitation in stating that the coal received at Labuan is equal to any English coal I have seen on board steamers in India, amid decidedly better than any coal worked in India fir steam purposes." The portion of territory contemplated for the first operations of the Eastern Archipelago Company possesses a climate and soil admir ably adapted for the culture of cotton, tobacco, sugar, coffee, rice, nutmegs, pepper, and other valuable productions, and is most favourably situate, having the advantage if Labuan, now euhject to British dominion, as a point d'appui ; nor can there be a doubt of the excellent position of the proposed field of enterprise for an ex tensive and lucrative commerce. The proximity of Java, Sumatra, Siam, Cochin-China, Hainan, Manilla, Celebes, &c., is not only of great importance in this respect, but also as affording the means of introducing with facility from those places Chinese and other coio nists, and labourers to any extent required for the service of the Company. Labuan itself will form an essential link in the chain of our eastern settlements, from Penang, Malacca, and Singapore to Hong Kong ; and in the district of Sarawak every protection and encouragement will be granted by Mr. Brooke in furtherance of the Company's objects. In short, every circumstance justifies the anti cipation that the late proceedings of the British Government relating to Borneo, if followed up with vigour by the operations of the pre sent Company, will change that which has been heretofore a region of piracy, lawless violence, danger and desolation, into a scene of busy, peaceful, and beneficial commerce; bringing the advantages of progressive civilisation to a large and fertile tract of the globe, and conferring extensive benefits on the commerce and manufactures of Great Britain. The philanthropist and the statesman, as we❑ as the merchant, will thus feel interested in this design, which, through the medium of British enterprise, aanetioned and protected by the wis dom and decision of the Government, promises the amelioration of the condition of the natives of the Indian Archipelago, among whom there exists a disposition most favourable to the development of the resources of those countries. The view here taken of the promising character of the undertak ing is not hypothetical, but is the result of the arduous personal re searches of various individuals, who, in times past, have been de sirous of widening the circle of commerce and civilization, and, among others more recently, of Mr. Wise, who has for several years devoted his time to the closest investigation of the subject. To his patient and indefatigable perseverance for a long period in calling the attention of her Majesty's Government to the importance of Labuan as the site of a British settlement, may be ascribed the fact, that the protection ofour flag is now extended to countries so important both in a political and commercial point of view. The Queen has appointed Mr. Brooke Governor arid C mmander in-Chief in and over the Island of Labuan and its dependencies, as we'l as her Majesty's Commissioner and Consul-General to the Sultan and inlependent chiefs of Borneo. These measures, and the course of poll y which they indicate, will materially faci hate and advance the of and interests of the Company throughout the Eastern Ar chi pel ,go. The Ctinpany being incorporated by Royal Charter, the responsi bility of each shareholder is limited to the amount of his subscrip tion. The charter provides for the execution by the shareholders of a Deed of Settlement, to be approved by the President of the Board of Trade. Power is given in the Charter to augment the amount of capital of the Corporation, it that course should become expedient. 51. per share to be paid on the allotment of the shares, and the re mainder to be paid by instalments as called for by the Directors.

The thousands of individuals who for upwards of twenty rears have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to be the only article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or grey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown or black, without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro duces by one application a pleasing and permanent change ; and it can be incontestibly proved, that while many dyes tend to destroy the hair by their pernicious properties and dangerous process of ap plication, that this article promotes the growth of hair, nourishing the roots till the latest period of life.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several eenditioas. in artier that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of derneetis wretchedness, be raised, and its true source ix every iasts.nce disclosed, in how many could be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap aointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, whoa abased, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or lose injury to the constitutional and vital powers- Tke particular excesses, on .he nature and consenuence et which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the Menai frame, fdtan any ether to which it is subject. This work contains aa accurate aid complete account of tke Anatomy and Physiology of the Repretinetive Organs, aid of their relative conditions la health aid disease. It deservedly requires the closest attentiee aid study, for what subject caa be of more thaportaace than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of wkick every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the aaknppy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired In early life or front the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable coasequexces, anwiaely entertains a tear of ap plylig to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and tke dread se treqiently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and preveat his seeking er assistance wkere aloac it can be procured. In actiag thus, he fergets that accurate discrimination is ascertaining the causes of iisease, sympathy with the sufferer, aad, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the iiitelliActst and practical pltysiciaa, and to the medical man who can show by Id., posse sine of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entit!ed t• esteem and respect is his prefee• sional pursuits, the utmost coufldence shoula be extended.

The company; which when it left Woolwich in November, 1841, amounted to nearly 100 rank and file, has dwindled down to nineteen men, the whole of the rest having either died or been invalided. Before the Carnatic left Hong-Kong, Lieutenant-Colonel Fyne had arrived, and relieved Captain A. G. Hamilton, upon whom the come mand of the Royal Artillery in China had temporarily devolved. Seven gunners of the Royal Artillery, under sentence of imprisonmenefor various periods, were removed from the Royal Artillery Barracks to Fort Clarence Prison, at Chatham, on Saturday last.

Witipsou, MARCH 7.—Another batch of those un sightly houses which have so long been permitted to block up the western front of Windsor Castle were sold by auction last week by order of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, and are now in course of removal. This will clear the west front of the Castle from the Garter Tower to below the old Clock Tower, heretofore called Julius Caesar's Tower, and so far clear the way for the magnificent improvement projected by the late Sir Jeffery Wyattville, under the auspices of George IV., vie., a continuation of the North Terrace all round the western front to the Salisbury Tower, with a range of modern shops and a colonade beneath the terrace. 14119 MARCH 9, 1848.

COURT OF ALDERMEN. On Tuesday a Court was held for the dispatch of public business. WINDOW BREAKING. Alderman WILSON called the attcntiun of the Court to the fact that window-breaking had much increased and that the spirit of mischief had increased along with it to a disproportionate extent, for the delinquents broke the most valuable windows, when their object of being locked up in prison could be gained by smashing win dows in the same houses of comparatively no value. For instance, in his ward, on the day before, a pane had been broken which cost 951. He trusted that a clause would be introdaced into one of the Bills to be brought into Parliament by the Government, calculated to re medy the evil, by making the offence upon repetition twice or thrice, punishable by transportation for seven or fourteen years. Sir PETER LAURIE said the practice of non-transpor tation of delinquents had led to much evil to the public. The fact was that the convict prisons were made so com fortable by the humane excesses of some people, that the lazy and base availed themselves of the facilities which shop-windows presented, to aid them in getting into prisons, where they could maintain comfortable quarters for the year.—(Hear, hear.) He recommended to the Court the perusal of the report on Scotch gaols, by Captain Kincaid, their late able and excellent Governor of Bridewell Hospital, in every word of which Sir George Grey concurred. Alderman SIDNEY said the City was completely. over run with the vagrants who indulged themselves in the mischief described, and that if Government did not inter fere, the unions would soon be crowded to suffocation with vagrants, 30,000 of whom daily wandered over the metropolis. Be recommended the application of the machine invented by the keeper of one of our great prisons as calculated, by its power of compelling labour to those ordered to be attached to it, to prevent persons from considering the prisons to be asylums. AlklerintinFaenuneTuEst suggested the propriety of conferring with the Secretary of State upon the subject of the introduction of a clause to the effect represented, and another to divert the expense of sending paupers to their places of settlement from the City of London unions, in which the expenditure from pauperism was becoming quite intolerable. Alderman SALOMONS said he felt bound, as a guardian of one of the country unions, to contradict a report which had been circulated, to the effect that it was the practice of remote parishes to send their poor to London. Whatever might be done in the neighbouring unions, he could certainly say that those at a distance never con templated anything of the kind. It was a serious evil that the expense of supporting vagrants from all parts should fall upon the City, and until that evil was grap pled with it would be ,useless to expect much improve ment in the vagrant population. The suggestion of Aldermen Wilson and Farebrother was then formed into a motion and agreed to. THE PRISONERS IN GLLTSPUR-STREET COMPTER. Alderman FA.REBROTHER, in the absence of Alderman Challis. presented a petition, signed by several priso ners confined for various offences in Giltspur_street Compter, applying to the Court for an increased al lowance of meat. The petition was drawn up by a fellow who had been frequently brought before the Ma gistrates of London upon charges of bilking taverns and public-houses, and was signed by the most profligate and abandoned wretches in the gaol. He (Mr. Alderman Farebrother) had nothing to say, but that, as the Se cretary of State thought the dietary adequate, no alte ration should take place.—(Hear, hear.) Sir PETER LAURIE hoped never to see the day when the honest industrious man was worse supplied with food than thieves and knaves were supplied in prison. Alderman FAREBROTHER said, that unfortunately the revolting sight was seen every day. The prisons were overflowing, because the poor man was neglected, and the thief received protection, sympathy, and commise ration. Alderman SaLomoNs said it would be more advisable to see that the unions were comfortable, than to condemn the prisons for being too comfortable.—(Hear, hear.) The petition was referred to a Committee. THE RAILWAY SHARE CASE. Mr. Field, jun., of the firm of Field, Son, and Bayley, attended the Court, relative to the complaint made against him by Mr. lloratio Folliott Nelson, at the last Court of Aldermen. Mr. Nelson was also in attendance, but the Learned Counsel for the complainant and re,pondent were both engaged in eases iu the courts of law. A solicitor appeared upon each side. The TowN CLERK haring called on the case, Mr. FIELD put in a s tatement, of which the following is a copy:— " To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, and Right Wor shipful the Aldermen of the City of London, in the Court of Aldermen assembled. " The following statement of the circumstances con nected with the transaction in Wexford, Waterford, end Valentin shares, referred to in the petition of Mr. Ho ratio Folliott Nelson, is most respectfully submitted, namely, " That in June, 1845, Field, Son, and Bayley bought, at the solicitation of Nelson, and in consequence of certain representations made by him, letters of allotment for 670 shares in the said railway, on the terms that Field, Son, and Bayley should find the purchase money, and divide the profits. " That the outlay thereby contemplated by Field, Son, and Bayley, was about 100/. " That in consequence of the company (contrary to the representation of Nelson) refusing to issue scrip to any but the original allottees, it became necessary (in order to avoid the loss of the premium given for the letters of allotment) to take up the scrip. " The outlay was thereby increased to above 1,0001., in consequence of which, and in order especially to put an end to a partnership, attended with so much risk, and of so unequal a character, Field, Son, and Bayley, became desirous of closing the transaction (as between themselves and Nelson) on the first opportunity. This, their desire, was expressed to Nelson on more than one occasion previous to the 4th of September. " That it was not until the 4th of September that they carried out their intention, and on that day they sold 100 of the shares of ss. premium, and not being able to sell more in the market at the price, took the remainder themselves, as they conceive they had a perfect right to do. "That the price of ss. premium was the fair and full market price on the 4th of September, as can be proved by the evidence of Mr. John Golding, of the Stock- Exchange, now in attendance. " That the course adopted, on closing the joint tran saction, which had been conducted in the name of H. Nelson and Company,' which included the petitioner and the firm of Field, Son, and Bayley, was, by making out a sale note for the 670 shares, and charging commission, which charge was in conformity with the understanding on which the operation had been entered into. Half of this commission would, consequently, be paid by Field, Son, and Bayley themselves. "That John Field, jun., never concealed from Nelson the fact of his firm having taken 570 of the shares to themselves, but is, and always has been , under t he im pression t hat Nelson was cognizant of the same. That on all occasions, when applied to, whether by Nelson, his forniersolinitor;llr; ZWeili, or his friend, Mr. Cam roux, the fact has been freely admitted. " That the books of Field, Son, and Bayley were pro duced to Mr. Ewens in the presence of their solicitor, Mr. Wootton. " That the non-registration of the names of Stafford and Field, Son, and Bailey in the contract•book in the usual manner is attributable to the pro forma character the o s u a r l t e , e ques t namesi on w . e r l e n d t u h l y e le n d s g e r e t r e , d a , ls a o n d produced u t s o the . of action posted to the accounts of the respective parties in the most plain and open manner. " That Field, Son, and Bailey have repeatedly offered to leave all matters in dispute between them and the petitioner to arbitration, and to the arbitration of Mr. Camroux, the petitioner's own friend. "That John Field, jun., is ready to depose to the above statement on oath, which he respectfully trusts will, in the opinion of the Court, absolve him from any imputation of having acted from improper motives, and he, therefore, prays, that your honourable Court will be pleased not to take proceedings against him for any violation of his bond, which in the judgment of your honourable Court he may be deemed to have committed. "March 7, 1848." "JOHN FIELD." Upon the part of the petitioner, application was made to adjourn the case until Counsel should be able to attend. Mr. FIELD, however, earnestly entreated the mem bers, for the sake of his character, which had already suffered by the statements made against him, to take the matter at once into consideration. _ _ The Court was soon afterwards cleared, and after a short deliberation, the Aldermen came to (as we were given to understand) the almost unanimous resolution not to put the bond of Mr. Field, jun., in force. The respondent was called, and the doors were opened, and the Town-Clerk read the decision of the members, which was to the following affect:—" The Court, considering the circumstances of the case, do not think it necessary to put your bond in force." Thus ac quitting Mr. Field, jan., of all moral blame. THE LATE MURDER IN ST. JAMES'S PARK. THE CASE OF ANNETTE MEYERS. Last evening a public meeting was held at the Lon don Tavern, to take into consideration the case of Annette Meyers, at present under sentence of death fcr the murder of Henry Ducker, in St. James's Park. The large room of the London Tavern was densely crowded. J. Bright, Esq., M.P., presided, and was supported by George Thompson, Esq., M.P. ; Alderman Sidney, M.P. ; the Rev. Dr. Mortimer, Head Master of the City of London School ; the Rey. Thomas Binney ; Charles Gilpin, Esq. ; Jphn Scoble, Esq. ; J. Macrae, Esq., barrister-at-law ; and other gentlemen of influ ence in th'2 City. The Rev. Dr. Mown:arm proposed the adoption of a petition to her Majesty, praying for the exercise of royal clemency in the case of the unfortunate woman, and while they (the petitioners) did not excuse the crime, directed her Majesty's attention to the extraordinary provocations she had received. Dr. Mortimer stated that the late mistress of Annette Meyers had called upon him that morning, and had spoken in the highest terms of the convicted woman, and assuring him that she had prepared a petition to her Majesty, to be signed by her immediate friends. The Rev, T. BINNEY seconded the motion. Mr. BENNETT said he had been on the jury who had tried Annette Meyers, and ho begged to say that the only delay which had occurred on the part of the jury was in consequence of the difficulty they found in using language strong enough to convey their sense of the ne cessity of a recommendation to mercy. The petition was then adopted. Mr. C. Gmersz remarked that he had inquired into the subject of Annette Meyers's parentage, and he found that she was the daughter of a gentleman standing high in society, and that she ought to have been brought up as that gentleman's child. lie proceeded to advocate the total abolition of the punishment of death, on many grounds, the principal being that innocent persons not unfrequently suffered. In proof of this assertion he instanced a large number of most interesting cases, and concluded by proposing a resolution based upon the re raatks he had made. GEORGE Tuomrsort, Esq., M.P., seconded the reso lution. Tho resolution having been adopted, several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and the petitions which had been agreed to were numerously signed. The usual compliment to the Chairman closed the pro ceedings. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC AND THE ENGLISH CHARTISTS. The Provisional Government received a deputation of the Central Committee of the Chartists of London, charged to present an address, which was adopted at a meeting, held on the 2d, in London. This address, after expressing the high admiration of the English patriots at the courage and magnanimity of the French people, concludes as follows : If Kings, if oppressive Governments, forgetting the lessons of the past, dare again league themselves against France, and declare war against your liberties, be as sured, citizens, that this time the people will not range themselves under the flags of their tyrants. You aro the advanced guard of the soldiers of liberty, and we can assure .you that the English people would never lend themselves to an impious war against their brethren of France." N. Gamier Pagas, member of the Provisional Government, replied : " We receive with gratitude the sympathy of the English Chartists. They prove to us that England has perfectly understood the object of our glorious revolu tion, and the high mission of the Provisional Govern ment. This mission must be peaceably accomplished by the movement of ideas, and we are convinced that, if the English Government should ever desire to make war on us, it would be prevented at the very instant by the English people; for fraternity in the interior, and fra ternity among all nations abroad, is what must for ever sustain the energetic men who have fought for liberty. Take care to tell the English Chartists that, in the Pro visional Government, you have fou nd the liveliest sym pathy for those who suffer; tell them that the revolution has been made by the people and for them; and that the Provisional Government , issued from the people, only thinks of improving the. situation of all the people. Observe the republican spirit ; after victory, NO ies of vengeance or hate , but a generous calm, the immediate cries re-establishment of order. Great and generous as much as they have been brave and courageous, the French people desires to..continue its undertakin g w ith ca l m , but with energy . The deputation then withdrew, crying, " Vive la Republique !" TO THE EDITOR OF THE &JN. SIR,—In accordance with a resolution adopted at the usual meeting of the City and Finsbury locality of the National Charter Association, I transmit to you the enclosed resolution, with an earnest request that you will insert it in your highly valuable paper. and, although we may differ on some points, yet I hope we shall not disagree on the present occasion.—l am, Sir, ALFRED FENNELL. March 9, 1848. Mr. Cater moved, and Mr. E. Nobba seconded, the following resolution:— " That this meeting view with feelings of great indig nation the mean, slavish, and sickening display of sym pathy and homage for the ex-Royal Fugitives of France by the English aristocracy, and request the people Of Franco will not consider that the English people approve of such disgraceful sycophancy, since the working classes bore will treat them with that contempt they so richly deserve." Supported by Messrs. T. Salmon, Gover, Messenger, and Allnutt, and carried unanimously. LIGHTING BY ELECTRICITY. - Experiments are still being made (previously alluded to by us) with the view of obtaining continuous light from the electric spark. At the theatre of the Valais Royal, Paris, recently, some extraordinary effects were produced in this way.-- Builder. [PRItEe 5 okfilit, had not yet been attalned,-the directors had the great satisfaction to inform the meeting that the Conway Tube, to which the delay was referable, was, on the 6th inst., safely floated between the piers, upon which it has to be raised, and all that now remained to be done was of an ordinary mechanical character ; and they were fully assured by the engineer that within a month, at the utmost, from this time, the tube would be completely fixed in its place, and the trains enabled to pass through it. The directors had to furnish the meeting with the gratifying intelli gence, that the bridge had already been subjected to a test, greatly exceeding any that it could ever be put to in its ordinary use. The tube, after having been sus pended upon temporary piers 400 feet apart, which was the full span of the bridge, was loaded with a weight of 300 tons, %hen the result was in every way most satis factory, and realised most fully the expectations that had been formed of it by its designer. With the load of three hundred tons, the deflection was only three inches, or an inch to each one hundred tons; and from that deflection it completely recovered itself upon the weight being removed, after haying remained therein for three entire days. The requisite arrangements for the opening of the line had recently been occupying the constant attention of the directors; they were now completed, and aided by the co-operation of the London and North-Western Company, they trusted that they had succeeded in providing an efficient staff; and while they proposed to establish such rates of fares and accommodation to the public as would give full encourag ement to the development of the traffic, they had kept in view a due regard to economy in the management. By the' Ist of May the line through Anglesea might also be made ready for traffic, so as to furnish railway communication for the entire distance to Holyhead, with the exception of the passage across the Menai Straits; and they had so ap prised the Postmaster-General, and expressed their willingness to undertake that this extension of railway accommodation should be completed by that time, provided the company were allowed an adequate remu neration for so doing ; and they had further offered to undertake the whole of the mail service between Chester and Holyhead, by covering the gap in the line with proper horse conveyances, pending the junction between the two sides of the Straits, provided the con tract entered into by the Treasury with the company be at once acted upon. At_ present they were _without a definite reply to either of ihose propoiitions, the commu nications received only extending to a signification of the intention to put on the mails to Bangor, when the line should be opened so far. In the event of neither of those offers being entertained they considered that it would not be expedient to accelerate the opening through Anglesea, until the whole lino from Chester to Holyhead could be made continuous, by the completion of.the line across the Straits, or at least until the most efficient steam-boat accommodation could be afforded. It was comparatively of little importance to the company whether the contract with the Treasury should commence at once, or be deferred for a short time, as its continuance was for a fixed term of years, and therefore the earlier its commence ment the earlier would be its termination. Tho extension of the line at Holyhead to the intended New Refuge Harbour, it is considered unnecessary to proceed with at present, or until the wurks of the new harbour have made further progress. With respect to the progress that had been made by her Majesty's Govern ment with the works of the old and new harbour at Holyhead, it had been intimated to the directors that the temporary accommodation making in the old harbour was sufficiently advanced to enable the Government new packets to use it—that nearly all the land required for the new harbour had been acquired—that a contract for a portion of the works has been entered into, and that the railways for conveying the stone from the quarries to the Great Breakwaters and Packet Pier were in course of execu tion. In accordance with the resolution come to by the shareholders at their last half .yearly meeting, applica tion had again been made to Parliament for the necessary powers to connect the steam-boat proprietorship with that of the railway, so far as is necessary to complete the communication between Holyhead and Dublin. The shareholders would recollect the peculiar circumstance under which the Bill was withdrawn last session, after the unanimous report of the Committee on the Bill, " That in tho pre sent case it is essential for the interests of the public that the powers sought should be conferred." The evidence laid before the Committee referred to, and upon which that resolution was founded, had since been pub lished for the information of the Members of the House of Commons, and your directors felt the greatest con• fidence that their renewed application would be suc cesful. With that protection and security to the public and the company, they have the most entire confidence in the traffic of the line realising the fullest expectation that has been formed of it. Two months having elapsed from the date to which the auditors examined the half-yearly accounts, the directors have had a supplementary sheet prepared, in order to lay before the meeting the state of the receipts and expenditure to the ead of last month. It would be seen by those accounts, that the expenditure during the six months ended 31st of December, was 635,065/, being at the rate of 105,844/. per month, and for the eight months to the 29th of February, 806,8621, being at the rate of 100,8581. per month. The confirmation of the shareholders was required to a declaration made by the directors, of the forfeiture of certain shares (61 in number), upon which the calls re main unpaid, consequent upon the holders of the scrip having neither appeared at the time of completing the registration in 1844, nor since that period. The direc tors further requested authority to sell or dispose of the shares in such manner as they might deem advisable. The time and attention of the engineer, Mr. Robert Stephenson, had been so unremittingly devoted to the floating and raising of the Conway tube, as to prevent him furnishing his usual report. From the general statement of the accounts from the formation of the company to the 29th of February last, it appeared that the receipts amount to 2,790,0674 17s. 10d., and the expenditure to 2,751,7921. 13s. 6d., leaving a balance at the bankers and on loan of 38,2754 4s. 4d. The CHAIRMAN, in answer to a series of questions put by a shareholder, said he did not think that the expenses for direction and auditors, which amounted to 6,3001., were greater than the expenses incurred under this head in other railway companies ; that so far as the, directors had been able to judge, they considered that the capital of the company wculd be adequate to meet the contemplated outlay ; that they could not pledge themselves as to the precise period at which the works would be completed, but would use every exertion to expedite them with all possible dispatch. He also stated that the shares were not more depreciated in value in the market then the shares of similar undertakings, and that the calls were remarkably well paid up consi dering the peculiarly of the times. When the Conway tube was finished, the line would be completed to Bangor, and the directors expected that it would be opened so far in about a month. The stations were all ready, and they could be made tenantable and fit for use in a week's time. A SHAREHOLDER wished to know what the arrange ment was that had been made with the London and North-Western Company, as it had been stated that it would be prejudicial to the interests of the proprietors of this company? The CHAIRMAN said, on the contrary, it had been stated that the arrangement was not exactly a fair one to the London and North-Western Company, who were to work the line, certain fixed charges having been agreed upon with respect to passengers, goods, and the number of carriages used. The arrangement was for five years, and was terminable, on a notice on either side, after three years. The report was then received and adopted.
