The holders of ordinary stock were to be entitled to guaranteed divi dends at like rates per cent., calculated on £76 19s. foreach £lOO ordinary stock. The resolution to accept 4 per cent. as the ultimate guaranteed dividend was not arrived at until the Board had fully and anxiously investigated the company's resources and prospects in every direction and under every contingency. But in order to obtain a full ex pression of the proprietor's views the Board intended to forward to every shareholder a proxy in their own favour, which would be used in support of the amalgamation ex cept in those cases where any shareholder might request a different course to be taken.

TOTTENHAM AND HAMPSTEAD JUNCTION, The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday at the offices, Poet's Corner, Westminster; Captain Arrow in the chair. Mr. Horn, the secretary, read the minutes of the last meeting, which were confirmed, and affixed the seal of the company to the register of shareholders. The report stated that the construction of the line was proceeding steadily and satisfactorily. With reference to the junction with the Midland Railway at St. Pancras, authorised in the last Session of Parliament, the directors had since under consideration whether an improved junc tion with the Midland Railway could not be effected, and, acting in concert with the Midland and Great Eastern com panies, they had caused a new line to be surveyed, the re sult of which was that for the' same capital as authorised by the act of 1864—viz., £lOO,OOO, the engineer of the company reported that a better line could be obtained, and one which would secure both a north and south junction with the Midland Railway, while the line of last year sup plied a south junction only. To obtain powers to make this important deviation a bill was now pending in Parlia ment, supported by the Midland and Great Eastern Rail way Companies, and under which powers were conferred on them by subscribing two-thirds of the company thereby authorised. At the instance of those companies provisions had been inserted for the sale or lease of the line now in course of construction, together with the proposed devia tion, to both or either of those companies. The directors had also deemed it advisable, in order to afford accom modation to the important district lying to the northward of their authorised line, as well as to develope its traffic, to secure to the residents therein facilities of communica tion with the Great Eastern as well as with the Mid land railways, and for this purpose had introduced into Parliament a bill for the construction of a line which, commencing by a junction at West-green, Tot tenham, with the Great Eastern Metropolitan line sanc tioned last session, and passing in a north-westerly direc tion, skirting the Alexandra-park and communicating there with, on to Muswell-hill. Thence crossing the Great Nor thern-road, near the Wellington Inn, Finchley, and the high road between Highgate and Hampstead, it would run into the authorised line of the company near its junction with the Hampstead Junction Railway at Kentish-town. The directors believed that no other line could be constructed in that district calculated to afford such ample accommoda tion to the residents. In connection with the Great Eastern line it would give most direct access to the city, the docks, and the eastern parts of London generally ; and by its junction with the Midland Railway access would be secured to the St. Pancras station of that company. Powers were inserted in the bill enabling both the Great Eastern and Midland companies to contribute a portion of the capital. The report of Messrs. M'Clean and Stileman, the engi neers, stated that during the summer months the contrac tors (Messrs. J. Watson and Co.) made considerable pro gress with the work. The brickwork of the principal bridges and other works were nearly completed, and a large quan tity of earthwork had also been executed. The capital account of the 31st of Dec. last showed that £140,762 had been expended, leaving a balance of £2,582. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report and statement of accounts, said they were so full and explicit that he need not add anything to them. Mr. G. REED, deputy-chairman, seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimously. The retiring director, Capt. Arrow, was re-elected, and also Mr. H. W. Notman, the retiring auditor. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceed ings. NORTH-WES TERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday at Leeds—Major Hare, the deputy-chairman, pre skied. The report of the directors recommended a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the A consolidated pre ferential stock, and at the rate of £lss. per cent. per annum on the B consolidated stock. The directors regretted that the Midland Company had not yet succeeded in getting more than a small amount of Scotch traffic carried over the company's lines. The total expenditure on capital account was £1,257,294. . . The CHAIRMAN said the Midland Company were about to have an independent station in London, and as they were about to enter into an arrangement with the London and North-Western foi a joint lease of the Lancaster and Car lisle Railways, no doubt then they would.have with other companies an equal command over the English and Scotch traffic. But, even should they fail in making that arrange ment, it was probable, as they had an independent station in London, that they would never rest until they had esta blished an independent position with regard to the Scotch route. The report was unanimously adopted, and the dividends recommended therein were agreed to. PEMBROKE AND TENBY. The hall-yearly meeting was held at Tenby on Friday Mr. W. Owen in the chair. The report stated that the traffic was gradually increas ing, and the agreement with Messrs. Davies and Roberts for the working of the .line had been carried out in a satis factory manner. The works on the Whitland Extension were progressing, but considerable difficulty had been ex perienced as regards the land, owing to the exorbitant prices asked for it. The report was unanimously adopted, and a dividend at the rate of sper cent. per annum was declared on both the preference and ordinary shares. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE The total expenses of this and the South Yorkshire Com panies' railways, including rents, tolls, duty, &c., from January 1 to February 12, amounted to £49,136, as against £47,393 for the corresponding period of 1864. The propor tion of the South Junction receipts accruing to this com pany from January 1 to February 12 amounted to £4,005 ; as against £3,951 for the corresponding period of 1864, and the expenses to £1,967, as against £2,042. SALISBURY AND DORSET JUNCTION. In reference to the proceedings at the meeting of this company, an account of which appeared in The Sun of Wednesday, the contractor states that he has a claim on the company of £25,000 for work done, which can be certified by several first-class engineers ; that nearly one half of the railway was made, and out of £172,000 he had 22,000 shares, which, turned into cash, only left him £ll,OOO ; that out of this sum he had paid for preliminaries and materials £B,OOO, which would leave him £3,000 for nearly 8 miles of railway. He adds that if he had been paid monthly, which was not done, the workmen would have been paid; that for the last two months he had worked with 700 men and about 80 horses, and had not received one shilling for it ; that he had not given up possession, and had plenty of plant and materials on the line ; and that he was in a position to finish the railway in a satisfactory manner be fore the end of July next, which would be six months before the time given him for the completion of the contract. DI7NABURG AND WITEPSIt (LIMITED). The annual general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern; Mr. T. A. Mitchell, m.p., in the chair. The report stated that the bulk of the earthworths be_ tween Dunaburg and Polotsk, a distance of nearly 100 miles had already been completed, and several miles of the per: manent way laid down and ballasted ; and that so soon as the weather permitted operations between Polotsk and Witepsk a further distance of 61 miles would be com menced. The CHArm^ in moving the adoption of the report, said that the works had progressed at a more rapid rate than had been anticipated, and this had obliged the directors to call up the large amount of £3O per share. The engineer assured the directors that the• line would be completed within the original estimate, and there was no doubt that when completed the traffic would be most remunerative. Mr. GOSCHEN, M.P., seconded the motion for the adop tion of the report, which was agreed to. The retiring directors, Mr. Goschen, and Mr. Bischoff sheim, were re-elected, and Mr. Levick and Mr. Fitzwagram were also elected, an addition of two directors being re quired under the articles of association. The retiring auditors, Mr. Coleman and Mr. Sim, were re-elected, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. RAILWAY BILLR'.

Additional capital, £905,000, loan, £3ol,ooo—that is to say, £255,000 for the purposes of the Act and £650,000 for the general purposes of the com pany, and £B5, 000 loan and £216,000 for general purposes. The Standing Orders were declared to be complied with.

Yesterday, John George Barry, Alfred Barry, William Sedgewick, James Arnett, and Chas. Thorne—the first two the proprietors of Meriton's Wharf, Dockhead, and the other their servants—were again placed at the bar of the Mansion-house, before Mr. Alderman Stone, to ungergo further examination upon the charge of conspiring together to obtain, and with obtaining, by fraud large sums of money from various insurance offices ; and also upon the charge of conspiring together to steal, and with stealing, a quan tity of bales of jute, the property of Mr. Baxter, a broker, carrying on business in Great St. Helen's. Alderman Phillips was on the bench during the exami nation. Mr. Giffard, Q.C., and Mr. Poland appeared to prosecute; Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Metcalfe attended for J. and A. Barry, Sergeant Tindal Atkinson for Thorne, and Mr. Lewis, jun., for Sedgwick and Arnett. Detective Sergeant Brett said—On February 14 I went with Sergeant Hayden to Meriton's wharf. I took James Geo. Barry into custody upon the warrant at his office. I told him who I was, and read the warrant to him, and he said, "All I have to say is the charge is utterly false." After the remand, on the same day, I went back to the office with Hayden, and took possession of some books andpapers, amongst which were some purporting to come from Mr. Elioart, addressed to Messrs. Barry. I made a furthersearch on the 18th, and found two letters from Toplis and Hard ing, dited Dec. 27th and 81st. I found them in the letter box at the office. Mr. Elioart said—The letters produced were written by me, and sent to Messrs. Barry. (The letters were read, and the first was asking Messrs. Barry for a list of the goods consumed, and also a list of goods saved.) I sent the first letter by hand. When I wrote the second I had received a printed list, two copies of the red list, a list similar to the one produced of the goods consumed ; and after that I wrote the second letter, and sent it to Barry Brothers. The se cond letter acknowledged the receipt of the list of goods destroyed, and asked for a list of those saved ; and witness said, after sending that, he received a letter (produced) en closing a written list of goods saved, and stating that it was at first intended to print the list, but that course had been abandoned, and was signed " Barry Brothers." Mr. Theodore Baxter said—The letter produced, dated let December, is the one I sent to Messrs. Barry Brothers at the request of Mr. Alfred Barry. (The letter was read, and was to the effect that the witness was interested in 996 bales of jute, ex City of Sydney, which were uninsured, and begged of Messrs. Barry not to allow that portion which was not destroyed to form part of the salvage claimed by the insurance companies.) Witness said—l wrote a similar letter to Messrs. Elioart. Mr. David Harding, of 50, St. Paul's-churchyard, sur veyor and insurance agent, said—l heard of the fire at Meri ton's-wharf in November, and went to the wharf the next morning. lam agent for the Alliance and the Royal Ex change, and other companies. I saw Mr. Alfred Barry, and asked him for a list of the goods destroyed, and he gave me a rough list as follows :-20,000 bales of jute, 2,000 bales of sugar, 1,000 quarters of seed, 1,000 quarters of wheat, 1,500 quarters of split peas, 1,200 bags of saltpetre, a quan tity of shellac and safflower. I afterwards received a printed list—a black one, and subsequently a red list. I found there were some discrepancies in the red and black lists. I wrote be letter produced to Messrs. Barry, asking, on the part of all the insurance offices, for a list of all goods saved by the fire. I received in reply the letter produced, signed Barry Brothers, containing the list. (The letter was read, and merely stated that the list accompanying Vas a list of goods saved.) .1 went several times to the wharf, and saw the de fendants (alluding to the prisoners). I was acting, amongst other offices, for the Northern. Messrs. Barry had a claim for £1,782 upon that office upon the goods, which is settled. John Thomson said—l am the manager of the firm of Henry Clarke and Co., of New Broad-street. I went with Mr. Baxter tt Meriton's-wharf. I there saw Mr. G. Barry. I spoke, to him with reference to the first three prisoners being in custody, and told him I had seen the report in the papers that there were more goods saved than were repre sented. He said he was very glad I had come down, as he could give an explanation. He voluntarily said that some of the tallies had been altered by some of his men ; that a pile of jute had been found 200 bales short, and concluded that a pile opposite was 200 bales over ; that 200 bales had been delivered from the right stack, and to rectify that the 200 tallies were taken off and replaced by other tallies. I for get which tallies were replaced, but I believe the Onward tallies were replaced by the City of Dublin. I think he said he had applied to Mr. Roberts for a meeting with the representatives of the fire offices that they might all ga over the stock and see what was saved. He then re ferred to Mr. Roberts's statement, as it had appeared in the papers, that there were 2,000 more bales saved than were represented. He said that could not possibly be, and re ferred to one particular parcel, which he said Mr. Roberts had returned as 200 and odd, and that they had taken down the pile and found it to be only 180 odd, or, as he said, 13 per cent. discrepancy. , Mr. Barry said there were similar cases, and, taking the average per centage of discrepancies, there ought rather to be a smaller quantity than Messrs. Barry had returned. Mr. Barry told us that his object to have the attendance of the representatives of the offices was to go over the stock together, and Mr.Robeets told him to attend a meeting. That he did so, and, after waiting two hours, was told that theydid not wish to see him. Mr. Barry said he thought it right upon that to call in impartial par ties, and had called in Messrs. Honey and Humphreys,who were then taking stock, and in the course of a few days they would be able to tell the precise number of bales saved. I called again two days after that, and Mr. Baxter was with me. I had just had an interview with Mr. Roberts, and went straight from his office to Meriton's Wharf. I don't know the precise date. I know it was a t Wednesday morning. I saw Mr. J. G. Barry. The fire into another question I asked was whether they had yet completed the stock-taking, and Mr. Barry asked us to go room. I don't remember if he said he had not. When we went into another room, we asked Mr. Humphreys how long long it would be, and he told us it would be about a fortnight before it would be completed. I said as the parties who owned the jute were abroad, and as from the reports they would naturally wish to know whether any further portion of their jute had been assured, I should like to see the jute myself, referring to the jute ex City of Sydney. Mr. G. Barry said we must excuse his declining to interrupt the valuers who were taking stock. I said I had no wish to do so. I merely wished to see the parcel which had been saved, and he again said he could not disturb the valuers. Mr. Barry afterwards said if we would stop there he would see what he could do for us. He left the room and went upstairs, leaving Mr. Baxter and me in the office. We waited about 10 minutes. Mr. Baxter went into the clerk's office and complained at being kept so long, and after some little time Mr. John G. Barry came down again. He said "Now you come with me." I and Mr. Baxter went with a porter and Mr. Barry to the warehouse L. The warehouse was completely shut up, windows and doors. The porter opened it ; as he went up we went to the top floor, and there found a quantity of the jute ex City of Sydney. 1 counted, as far as I could, 280 bales. Mr. Baxter counted the same number. Mr. Giffard-140 it appears on the said list. Witness—Upon counting 280 bales, I said, " Mr. Barry, je there are 280 bales," Mr. Barry said, " I am sorry k t e o d Kr. it, but for your sakes of course I'm glad." Baxter Barry if we might see the warehouse A. to our going Mr. Baxter said. Mr. Barry at once assented was locked up, to warehouse A, and we went up.r all I and was opened by the same porter. It alsom r• d ß i ax dn te o " r t hear found no tallies for the tallies were turned inwards. looking at the tallies which wevvreoperceptible.floors Some of the i c f there ware goods there, and ladder. I asked Mr. Barry h we went up to by a common until we came to a floor g he said " Yes." We found City of Sydney here," pointing to said " There are some row b hilm ales of jute there, and Mr. Barry and he expressed his sur_ " I cannot how many we some at the end of the flo r o o r t . he l re c , ounted 35 bales, and told Mr. Barry we all came downstairs together, and while the dg ga wi id ek took part irregularities — oor whether ara porterprprime, locking . account for the trre of his figures from Arnett, and Arnett from Sedgwick, or whether in calculating the stock they calculated the number of bales wrongly, I cannot say ; but that there have been b o th great negligence and great irregularity there can be no doubt." Some evidence of minor importance having been adduced, Edwin Radmall was called, and said--I was employed on the 11th, 12th, and 13th of January to go through the stook . - at Meriton's Wha r f. I found 9,073 bales of j ute-on th mises.

Artillery, directs that in the event of any soldier of the Royal on Artillezy home service wishing to trans fer his regimental savings bank balance to the post office savings bank, di comman ng officers are to re port the particulars direct to the War-office, when the necessary steps will be taken, in communication with the Postmaster-General, for effecting the de sired transformation. The order also announces that all allowances now granted in lieu of soldier servants to regimental officers will cease on March 31 next, and paymasters of brigades will take care that no charges are inserted in their accounts for such allow ances after that date. With reference to the regula tions for regimental canteens, it is to be understood that the fact of the paymaster being the custodian of the canteen fund will in no way render his sureties or the public liable for any amount deficient therein in the event of their being a default in the public accounts of the paymaster. Experiments are being made in Aldershot camp with the South American " jerked beef" with aview to its introduction in the army if found desirable. The beef at present does not find favour with the men, who consider it deficient in nutritive proper ties, and find fault with its flavour. In accordance with an Admiralty order received at Chatham, the engineer officers in charge of vessels repairing or fitting at the dockyard are to attend on board from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. daily, with the excep tion of short intervals for breakfast and dinner, for the purpose of exercising a proper supervision over the factory workmen, their instructions being to re port any case of improper workmanship or idling on the part of the mechanics. In consequence of this order considerable additional responsibility is placed upon the engineer officers of the navy. In consequence of the expected arrival of the irort screw steam troopship Urgent, 4, Capt. Samuel Henderson, at Devonport, the 2d •Regiment, under command of Col. Thomas Addison, C. 8., quartered in the Raglan Barracks there, were prepared to em bark for Cork. The transport not being ready, the soldiers received orders on Friday to unpack their baggage. They are now expecting the Urgent on. Wednesday. The Alecto, paddle sloop, 3 guns, 800 tons, and 200-horse power, Commander William H. Blake, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning, on her re turn to England from service on the south-east coast of America, and, receiving her orders soon after arrival, sailed from Spithead again in the evening for Woolwich, to dismantle and pay out of commis sion. She sailed from Rio Janeiro on the 14th of December last, arrived at Pernambuco on the 3d of January, and sailed thence again on the following day. On the 4th of February she anchored off Fayal, but was compelled to get under way again. immediately by the setting in of a southerly gale. She remained outside until the 6th, when she con tinued her course to England, without having com municated with the shore. From Fayal to the en trance of the Channel strong gales were experienced from south to north-east, chiefly from the latter quarter, and from the Channel entrance to Spithead strong north-westerly gales. The Alecto brought home several naval supernumeraries from ships serving on the south-east coast of America, which were transferred to the Vicbry flagship, in Ports mouth harbour, previous to her leaving Spithead for Woolwich, by a harbour steam tender. Mr. John son, naval instructor, invalided, from her Majesty's late ship Bombay, also came home as passengers in the Alecto. The War Department steam vessel Lord Panmure, Commander T. H. Moore, having shipped the four 600-pounder wrought iron guns intended to compose the armament of her Majesty's armour-clad cupola ship Scorpion, under fitment at Birkenhead, sailed from Woolwich Arsenal on Saturday for Liverpool. An experimental 300-pounder smooth-bore gun, built up in the Royal factories of Woolwich Arsenal, from the design of Mr. John Anderson, the assistant superintendent, was on Friday mounted on a new species of wrought-iron carriage and slide, with transporting gear, designed by Commander Scott, R.N., and manufactured under the superintendence of Mr. Trickett in the dockyard factory. The gun was planted in front of a wooden section of a ship's broadside, in preparation for an official inspection by Rear-Admiral Frederick and other members of the Admiralty Board, who had signified their intention of being in attendance in the factory at Woolwich for that purpose. The inspection was, however, postponed to an early day this week. The gun is made of a metal known as " Firth steel." It weighs 124 cwt., and is to form a portion of the armament of her Majesty'slo-gun iron cased corvette Favourite, in course of completion, on Mr. Reed's principle, at Woolwich. After their lordships' visit the gun and fittings will be transported to Shoeburyness for trial. The method of running the gun in and out and the simple machinery and appliances by which it can be moved by a single gunner are a great improve ment on the ordinary system. The construction of a wrought-iron gun carriage, platform, &c., on a new principle, and intended for one of Capt. Coles's cupolas, was last week com menced in the Royal carriage department of Wool wich Arsenal, to work a 300-pounder gun fitted and mounted for service on Lieut.-Col. Shaw's pivot principle, so as to enable the gun to be pointed and t d fired through an embrasure not exeseing for-. the cir cumference of the gun's muzzle. In Col. S h aw's mer invention the trunnionsof the gun were removed. In the present invention they wil l cast steel gun, be retain ed. Capt.

TILE DAVENPORT BROTHERS.—These performers have not, it would seem, been entirely crushed by the Liverpool disturbances. They are announced to appear at Leeds. The Leeds Times publishes a letter from London, in which the writer says :—" The Liverpool riot beggars description. Mr. Palmer, the manager of the Davenport Brothers, has left for Liverpool, and will take proceedings against 20 members of the Gymnasiuro. Society. There was upwards of £9O in the house on Wednesday night. The Davenports returned to town to-day, the flesh on their wrists being jagged and bruised in the most brutal manner. The Liverpool affair, when sifted, will do us great good, and had Mr. Palmer been in that town at the time he would have disarmed their opponents, and offered ternis for a fair trial—staking £l,OOO to £2O upon the success of the Davenports."

WHITEHAVEN JUNCTION. The directors of this company intend to recommend a dividend at the rate of 18 per cent. per annum for the half year ending the 31st of December, 1864. LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER. The report of the directors states that the receipts for the half-year ending the 31st of December amounted on 721 miles, to £182,249, against £136,551 for the corresponding half of 1863 and £102,957 for the same half of 1862 on the same mileage, showing an increase of £45,697, or 33.46 per cent., over 1863, and:£72,292 over 1862. On the Metropoli tan Extension line the receipts amounted for the past half year, on 111 miles, to £47,924, against £30,928 on 101-miles for the corresponding half of 1863, and £3,290 on 51- miles for same half of 1862.

The gross working ex penses of all the lines owned and worked by the company during the half-year amounted to £124,124, or 52.32 per cent., and the gross receipts upon those lines to £237,225. This was the most satisfactory result that had yet been attained. The receipts on the general undertaking had been £182,249, and working expenses chargeable to it £114,991, or 63 per cent. The directors had every confidence that as the traffic of the branchlines increased the ratio of expenses to receipts in future half-years would be more favourable. The receipts derived from the steamboat traffic during the half-year amounted to £32,352, and the expenses to £19,156 including £3,500 carried to the reserve fund. The balance of the revenue account of the generalundertaking amounted to £80,544, as against £55,825 for the corresponding half of 1863, and £30,370 for the half-year ending June last. That sum was sufficient to cover all debenture interest, rent-charges, and other preferential charges, including the first preference, leaving a balance of £4,317. The opening of the line between Blackfriars and the temporary station on the south side of Ludgate-hill took place on the 21st of December last, and its effect upon the short and suburban traffic had fully answered the expectations of the directors. The permanent station was expected to be ready for open ing in March next, when the main line trains would have the advantage of a city station. Since the last meeting tho directors had completed the works connecting the station at Dover with the Admiralty Pier. A short connecting line between Stewart's-lane and Clapham Junction station was to be completed by the Ist May next. The South-Western Company would then be enabled to avail themselves of some of the benefits of a city station at Ludgate-hill. The capital account of the main line from Bickley to Dover showed that £4,443,602 had been expended, and of the Metropolitan Extensions £5,451,886 expended. WEST HARTLEPOOL. The report of the directors states that the receipts on re venue account from all sources during the past half-year amountedto£l3s,3l7, and the payments to £64,933, leaving a net revenue of £70,384, which exceeded that for the cor responding half of 1863 by £7,855. After deducting interest on loans and other preferential charges, the holders of the class A stock, being the former debenture holders, could receive out of the six - se venths of the surplus to which they were now limited a divi dend at the rate of £2 16s. 6d. per cent. annum, h being at the same rate as was paid out of the s last half-year ; and th e rema i n i ng one enpteirres urp one seventh, after pro - riding a like dividend for the class B stock, would yield to the holders of ordinary stock a divi dend at the rate of £2 3s. 6d. per cent. per annum. Those dividends would absorb £41,178, and leave £7B for next account. The gross receipts for the half-year ending Dec. 31 last amounted to £135,317, and for the corresponding half of 1863 to £126,036, showing an increase of £9,281. The expenditure amounted to £64,933, against £63,507, showing an increase of £1,426. The net revenue of the com pany for the year 1864 amounted to £131,598, for the year 1863 to £116,288, and for the year 1862 to £92,784, showing an increase over 1863 of £15,310, and over 1862 of £38,814. The export of coal had fallen off considerably during the half-year, the revenue from this source being less by £2,691 than in the corresponding half of 1863. The passenger re venue had shown a steady increase during the whole half year, amounting in the aggregate to 22 per cent., the total receipts for passengers for the past half-year having been £ll,OBO, against £9,082. The Byers -green colliery had been disposed of since the last report on favourable terms, and the remaining collieries would be offered for sale as soon as practicable.
