DEMERARA RAIL WA V. The ordinary half yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday, at one o' clock, at the London Tavern ; Mr. MeChlery in the chair- - After the transaction of e the routine business, the Secretary (Mr; H. Hill), reed the following repute:— : " 8,1254 ot the cell, had been paid in since the l ast - meeting, arid the totel'eneynieees.upen the first call had • amounted to 18,9121. 10s., and upon the second call to 16,800/. The arrears upon both calls are now reduced ••• to 14,2871. 10s.i Farther sums from these sources may • also, • the directors consi der, be, with certaint y ,' cal ' culltea upon, .sett thaeamount payable by the colonial shareholders on the *pond. call is not yet due in this . country ; s and -the e nerieesteof 4hose still in default here have been given in - th the solicitors to the cemParg i vehe ' are taking active preecesedings e wittiefeit Wipid76l-iltersirdi; for the recovery td . etherreare. In the meals times boil , - ever, as immediate funds were ...required to meet the - liabilities of the CoMpany reported to the. shareholders at the last 'meeting, the directors had no alternative, on the Ist ultiseq, but,te declare a further call of 21 lOseper - share, payable . oil the 25th of that mouth. That call, being the .third, has realised to the present date 9,387/ ' 108 ; but etee :directors attribute the smallness of such amount to the continued pressure of the times, and to a desire to learn the exact state of the company's affairs at the present meeting. At the same time they are bound to point out to the detaulters how seriously they ' ' are injuring, by such tardiness, the present interests of the company, and to what sacrifice they are exposing the capital which has been already expended upon this project, besides adding materially by every day's delay to the cost of the undertaking and to their co-partners. Already had the directors bent' obliged, from the want of a sufficiency of funds, to suspend, in a great measure, • active operations in the-colony, area that too at a time • when the prospects of the cempany were even more encouraging than they have yet been. All the out-door • works which had been finished have been found, after exposure to the vicissitudes of the weather, admirably solid, and enduring. The experimental trips with the locomotives have shown practically the very great advantages which the estates would derive from this means of transport, and the voice of the community had been universally expressed in favour of the undertaking. `Moreover, when the last advices were sent from the colony, a Bill, under the direct sanction of the Govern ment of this country, was on the point of being intro duced into the Court of.. Policy guaranteeing to the. - company a minimum dividend of 6 per cent. on the capital expended, so soon as the works should reach 'to the village of Brixton, ten miles from the capital.. •The directors have great pleasure in inviting the attention of the shareholders to a letter on this 'subject from Governor Light, in which' his Excellency' states, in strong terms, his conviction that the under taking will prove of essential benefit to the colony, and be a lucrative investment for the shareholders, and be announces his intention to give his warm advocacy to the proposed measure of a guarantee. There seems no reason whatever, therefore, tv doubt that the Bill in question will speedily pass thrOugh the Colonial Legislature, and receive• the sanction of her hlak-sty. It would be most unfortunate indeed, if this measure, so certain to give immediate. value to the shares of this company, should be rendered inoperative by the continued supineness of the shareholders themselves in providing the-necessary means to meet the 'emoting liabilities-of the company, and to continue the construction of theLsvorke to the designated. point, Buxton ; and the more so, as the traffic in the district known to have , much increased since the' original estimates were framed, and the engineer continues to express a confident opinion, that so soon as the line shall be in operation to Buxton, the receipts Irene: the traffic will largely centeibute to the expenses of the further construction of the ra,lway to its destined termination. It is esti mated. that the sum now required for the constructio n of the works to Plaisance, being the first section of the line, and five miles from George Town, will be 4,000/, ayd that' a further sum of IQ,OOO/. -would Carry theni on nix Bekon, ifive miles beyond. Here, as before men te-ened, Itte guarantee would _come into operation, aiid surplus profits would begin to arise. It .is obvious, therefore,. that - those - shareholders who continue in default . are not only committing as act of thregreate.st iajustice to the creditorS - of the comphey, , but are most seriously damaging their wen interests teed those of their co proprietors. It must at the striae time be borne in mind by those parties that there can Pe no doubt of their liability, to the extent ot , their shares. to ceneribete towards the payment of all 1 the debts of the company which. have been contracted with a reliance upon the good faith ot the whole body or • the shareholders, and that it wilt be the especial duty ot those members who may be encrusted with the direction of the affairs of the company to see that, tothe best of their power, every creditor here and in the colony is fully paid. 13y the half-year's statement of the receipts and expen diture of the company. it will be seen that the liabilities to'the 31st ult. were 44,428/. Os. l id. This amount has been reduced by subsequent payments to 40,9061. 6s. Bd., and the arrears of cells ter. the present date amount to 29;900/. It will also beobservedtbat there is no charge for remuneration for the directors, or the colonial committee of management during the past year. In the present state of the company's finances, the directors decline to take any payment on their own . account: but they consider that early provision should, be made for the payment of 506/. fOr , the past year' s se rvi ces , t o th e comm i ttee o f management in Demerara, who have continued to per form their: duties in the most zealcius and effective manner. It is impossible, indeed, tor the directors to say too mach .in praise of the. cordial co-operation which they have at all times received from the local comm:: Lee in their endeavours to advance the interests of the cOmpapy. The directors consider it their duty to make the same acknowledgment as to the zeal and energy - Of Mr. Cather wood, and of every other officer and_ servant connected with the establishment. Since the last ordinary meeting of the shareholders three vacancies in the directionhave occurred by the resigna tion of 31r. Labalutondiere (on account of his continued absence from England), Mr. Anderson, and Mr. Kingston. In the room of one of these gentlemen the directors, under the authority of the Act of Icorpora. Lion, appointed Mr. Henry Brand, who is largely inteeested in the c•impany, and it is for the shareledders to-day, if they think proper, to continue office, ru3d to fill up the other two vacancies; and the :directors recommend for the latter purpose Mr. Jonethliti Hopkinson and Mr. Alex. Morrison. Under the provisions of the Act, also, three members -of the managing committee here, and the like number in the colony retire from (Ace by rotation; and it rests with the proprietors to supplye the vacancies thus occasioned, by re-election or piherwise. The retiring members in London are Sir James Carmichael, Bart :Henry David son, Esq.„ - and Thomas Naghten, Esq ; and in Demerara, W. Brand, E. T. Porter, jurneE,q , and J. T. White,' Esq., all of whom offer. themselves for re-election. If Meelleekinson . should be elected a member of the direction in London, his place as an auditor must br supplied by some other shareholder, and Mr. To ranee is recommerideif for that purpose. The directors continuing to: entertain the same confident opinion' which they have ever avowed as to the remu nerative nature of this undertaking,. if duly carried out. cannel, conclude their report without calling most earnestly nponlhe general body, of the shareholders for a continuance of thArco•operation and support;' and again warning those parties who are in arrear of the serious and per haps irreparable injury which their continued default is inflicting upon their own interests, as well es upon those of their numerous co-proprietors who have taithfuliy complied. with their engagements to the company."

In reply the to some questions, he stated that not only had all th directors paid their calls, but they had borrowed money on their own responsibility f ro m their bankers. The solicitor (Mr. Maynard) stated that one of the former directors had not paid all his calls, and that he was one of those whoni the company were proceeding against. This had geven'rise to the rumour. Mr. RrDb WAY said - he knew many of the defaulters. and that the non-payment of their millet did not so much arise from wannof confidence in the undertaking as from the • commercial embarrassments of the period. Great want of confidence .was : entertained wit respect to colonial investment s, oh aeceect h he the rasti 4 pecu !talon that had taken pla ce.

Mr. EARLE said he Should pay his arrears as soon as those who held a largereitake than him did so; but he bad no notion of paying kir the advantage of Others. It was all humbug for persons like Mr. Ridgway to talk about the property of the 'colony. 'He had unfortunately an estate in Berbice which was worked by three blacks, who were unable to pay their way,'so bad was the state of thing s i n t h e co l ony. The report was then adopted. The retiring directors with Sfei,srr. Anderson.

Tne premises for 'which the appellant sought a license is a newspaper office in the Strand. , Tne ground on •which th , present application was rested' as, tha't the London and South-Western Railway Company were about to construct an extensive terminus on the Surrey side of Waterloo-hridge, and it was urged that there would be a great increase in the demand of the public for hotel and tavern 'accommodation, and that being so, the appellant submitted that the situation of this house was well adapted for this purpose. The neighbourhood would also be improved under these circumstances, and consequently would require more accommodation than whit it now possessed. The opp - osition was on the part of the Marquis of Exeter, the landlord in fee of the premises, because his Lordship had many other tenants in the neighbourhood, many of whom carry on the business of licensed victual lers; and ho considered that their interests would he very much interfered with it a license were granted to. the appellant's house. It was also contended that there was' not the least want of any additional accommodation either at the present time, nor was there likely to be after the railway terminus was constructed. The Court divided, when there appeared fur the li cense six votes, and against six. The Assistant Judge gave his casting vote in favour of the license, and the license was at once granted. GEORGE MASSON V. THE JUSTICES OF THE HOLBORN 13IVISIoN • The appellant sought to obtain a license to the Fea therS, Great Wild-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. Mr. Ballanine appeared for the appellant, and Mr. Bodkin for the respondent. Inspector Ford, of the F division of police, was called to prove the character of the house. He said it had a room fitted up like the pit of a theatre, where concerts took place. which were kept up till morning. Objections of a serious character were also urged. Mr. BALLANTINE threw up his brief, and the Court refused the license.'

The grounds on which the application was res.ed appeared to'be the want of sufficient accommodation for clerks, and'others of a respectable class, of whom there were a great" number in the immediate vicinity, and who could not obtain accommodation suitable to their ineu,:s in the hotels of the neighbourhood. The license was opposed, on the ground that there was no 'want.of aiccommodation in that locality. The Bench divided, when there appeared for the license 15 ioteiiigainst it, 13. JAMES SAUNDERS V.

Evidence having been given, Mr. Parry addressed the magistrate on behalf of the prisoner, and submitted that the case was not sufficient to send before a jury. . . Mr. BURRELL committed the prisoner fjrtiial at the Central Criminal Court, and refused to take bail in con sequence of the serious nature of the charge. WORSiiIP-STREET. - Marianne Willoughby (Morn, a person of very supe rior address and deportment, but who was wretchedly . .diyl, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with having obtained, by fraudulent representations, a gold watch and appendages, of the value of 251., from 81r, Henry 'Eisenberg, a jeweller its White's-row, Spi taltields, and also with stealing tour duplicates, the pro perty* of a person named Cheeseman, in whose house Aie,had occupied apartments. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Heritage, who attended for, the prosecution, and the evidence of the ~oinplainant, that about the latter part of February the iris , ner was introduced to Mr. Eisenberg by a Mr . 1.4-vett,'vitith whom he had had some previous dealiegs, who represented her as the sister of Lord Spencer and !he daughter of another distinguished nobleman, And intimated,, that although she was then involved .in some iwcuniary embarntssment arising out of pe eiliar causes, which, he was not at liberty to evplain, he had ascertained from personal inquiries, and the examination., of her private documents, that she was" crititled.to a fortune amounting to no less than 120,000/, vhich was to come _into her possession in the eourse la few days.

The prisoners armed themselves with quart pots, and dealt out such - violence to those opp ose d to them, that it was almost a miracle they did not kin one or the other of them. Mr. Ilowett, the medical gentleman who had been called in to dress the wounds of the injured men, de scribed the injuries inflicted to be of the most extensive and dangerous description. The prisoners were Cully committed to take their trials a t at their ensuing ses sions at " the Central Criminal Court. • • Aridrew BascoOdle, • Francis Fardell, and Thomas Bennett, were placed at the bar on the following charg. : L appeared that on the preceding evening the pri soners were observed to be engaged at a black,mith's shop, iii Union street, London. road, by a plice , con stable, and were s ubsequently watched away from there.

PERTH CIRCUIT COURT OF J CIS FICIA RV, APRIL 22. CHARGE OF MURDER.—James Robertson was placed at the bar, accused of having, on the 24th December, 1847, in a house on the farm of Unthank, near Brechin, occupied by William Norrie, got possession of a female illegitimate child, of which he was the father ; and that, on the farm of Cookston, end mar the public road lead ing to Breehin, did thereafter %iekedly and feloniously put the clothes which were upon the person of the child over her head and miff .sated her, and in that way mur dered her. The prisoner pl-aded not guilty. Witnesses were examined in support of the prosecution , faun whose evidence it appeared that the prisoner, who wii.y a farm servant, was fatherof several other illegitimate children. Jean Guguid, the mother of the child, deposed to buying carried the infant to the prisoner, at his request, three Weeks after charge, at his sister's house, who was married,..

The rri.oner's ireet.4:rations. were then read, which de tsilv d with great itun.utenesaajulleotifession of the whole af air. lie stated that was 25 t - ear, of age ; had three other illegitimate children beside those that Jean I)uguid had to him ; that their maintenance pressed hard upon him ; anti it was from that circumstance that he had been imluced to do the deed. The jury retired for about 15 minutes, and on return ino.' into court delivered a unanimous verdict of Guilty as libelled; but, from the candid way in which he had oonfessed the deed,'strankryireaommended the prisoner o mercy. I Lord .UOSCREIFF then addre.sed the prisoner upon the awful situntwa in which his crime had placed him, and advised him eamestly to reflect on his aondition, and turn to God in prayer and repentancs ttat his sins might be washed out in the blood of the Redeemer. In reference to the recommendation o the jury, it would certainly be attended to in the pr‘per quarter ; but the Court could hold out to him no strong hope; of mercy. He was then sett t6nc,•d to he executed at Forlar on the 19th of May. The prisoner heard his sentence unmoved, and ap peared throughout the whole trial to be little impressed with his situation. CHEMISTRY OF THE SEA. The folloning report of a lecture on the ab,we subject, f-ecntly delivered by Dr. Williqrni, of Swansea, at the Royal Institution of Britain, will be read with luterost Dr. Williams commenced by demonstrating, by means of en apparatus contrived for the purpose, the ffecteof pressure on fishes at definite depths beneath the surtace of the sea. flaying shown that a gold fish when the water in which it was placed was subjected . to a pressure of four atmospheres nelmene paralysed, 1)r. Williams stated the following eoticlusions:—lst. That, round fishes, having an air blidder, cannel, without injury, be exposed to a pr+asure of more than three atmospheres. 21. That the use of the air• bladder is not so much to regulate the spticific gravity of the animals as to resist the varying force of the fluid column, and thus to protect the vis cern ar.d abdominal 1)1:Jed-vessels against excess of pressure. 3d. . (Though in this case the results are less striking), flat fish exhibit a limited capa city only for sustaining pressure. From these ob servations, Dr. Williams inferred that the condition of nrAsure regulated the distribution of fishes in depth. Referring to the experimental researches of Pro resior E. Forbes, he expressed his conviction that pressure would be found the most impor • tant element in the problem of submarine organic Ile observed that he lower animals evinced a toler ance of pressure peculiar to each species, and deter mining its zone of depth. The laws oceanic tempe rature were next explained. •It was experimentally demonstrated that the expansion of sea water is consi derably greater than that of pure water under equal in crements of heat. It was, however, established by the aerometer that density did not diminish in exact propor tton.with the increase of v o lu me . It was argue d t h a t t hi s experiment went to eccou nt for the expansion of crystals by hear, as noticed by Mitscherlich : and that it is also proved .hat.in the case of two strata or water of dissimilar tempe rature over-lying each °tie r in the ocean, the tendency to intermixture by vertical molecular attraction was ereater than would be the case if the sea consisted or - distilled water. It was contended that it was in ac cordance with the principle,: developed in this experiment that the warm water occupying the greatest depths in the sea (as discovered by Sir James Ross), rose to the eurrace and escaped under the form of vapour, which, b y diffusing w a rmth th roug h th e a t mos ph ere , m iti ga t e d the rigour of pier cold. Referring to the stratum of water of uniform warmth observed by Sir J. Ross, the lecturer stated that he had ascertained by experiment that water acquires a considerable increase of temperature under great pressure, and that he thought that the temperature of the deep sea could only be satistuc terily accounted for by the condensation of bulk which the air of water' underwent. The increase of temperature measured downwards from the stratum of uniform warmth to , the sea bottom was noticed as proving that the latent heat of the dissolved air was ren dered sensible as the pressure, i. e., the depth, increased. Dr. Williams concluded by reerring to the maximum density of water, the laws governing the solution of air to water, and by explaining the influence of those condi tions 'on the existence and distribution of plants and animals in the sea."

" The less on our side amounted to two killed, and one officer and 12 seamen, marines, and soldiers wounded, a list of which is inclosed. " I have to express my admiration of the great gallantry, z-al, and perseverance displayed by Captain Loch and the officers and men of both services employed under his orders on the occasion —I have, s m. (Signed) •• F. W. AUSTEN; Vice:Admiral. " 'fie the Secretary of the Admiralty." " Fort Saint Carlos, Nicaragua, Feb. 21, 1848. " Sir,—ln pursuance of your instructions, and in ac cordance with the wishes of her Majesty's late agent and Consul-General, Mr. Walker, I have the honour to acquaint you that I proceeded up the river San Juan d e Nicaragua, in command of her Majesty's combined forces, consisting of 260 officers and men, contained in twelve boats of her Majesty's ships Alarm and Vixen, and captured the post of Serapequi, after a sharp action of one hour and forty minutes, with a loss of two killed and thirteen wounded. " The post is situated on a point projecting into the river vary abruptly to the height of 50 feet, is protected in the rear by a dense forest, and in front by an abattis. formed of large trees felled, with their heads and branches reaching into the river. It was only to be approached by heading a rapid current of nearly five k'iots an hour in order to pass the fort and to descend towards a steep and narrow landing - p lace above the stockaded batteries. " On Friday, the 19th instant, Commander Ryder and myself (who were in advance in our gigs) have in sight of Serapaqui, situe•ed ut the head of a straight reach of about a mile and a half long. No sooner did my beat appear, that she was fired upon by two guns, which effectually precluded the possibility of any peaceful ar rang ement. " 1 therefore waited to reconnoitre until the heavy bows arrived, when I led them up the river. A spare pinnace, commanded by Leutenant John:ton, of her majesty's ship Alarm, containing some of her Majesty's 38th Regiment ; the Alarm's barge, commanded by Lieutenane Ridge, and First Lieutenant B ,yle, of the Royal Marines, with a part of his detachment, and the Vixen's port paddle-box boat, with the head quarters of the detachment of that regiment, commanded by Captain Smith, owing to their fast pulling, took the lead after the gigs, and on we went, but the current was so strong that one hour and forty minutes elapsed before we were enabled to pass the batteries sufficiently high to drop down to the landing place previously mentioned, hr which time Nearly all the boats were up. I then gave the order to laud, which they did with an Eeglish cheer, and in ten minutes our flag was hoisted on the fort. " After a chase of thirty minutes into the thick woods, I ordered the recul to be sounded, destroyed the stsck ades, spiked the guns, broke t+ ear trunnions and threw them into the river, tog. then with muskets, ammunition; and, after embarking tne force, set fire to the defences. " I was Ili:able to ascertain accurately the loss of the enemy, owing to the density of the cover into which they retreated; twenty, ho Never, were found dead, and I have reason to believe that about double the number were wounded. Their force consisted of about 201) soldiers, besides some boatmen, pressed by Colonel Sales into his service. " Nine prisoners were captured, amongst them two wounded officers; these I sent to the ship ; the re mainder I have distributed amongst the boats to act as pilots. " The defences of the post consisted of six angular stockaded entrenchments, formed of very tough timber, eight feet high and four feet thick, one side of each stockade looking across the river, and the other down the reach. The principal stockade commanded the landing place, in which one of the guns was mounted at the time. " It was with great satisfaction that I saw the cool and steady behaviour of the men, under the trying cir cuinstences of crowded boats, exposed to a het fire, from both sides of the river, from unseen marksmen, without the possibility of effectually returning it., while in almost a stationary position, owing to the current running like a mill stream. And it is astonishing to me that a greater loss did not occur, as the boats were riddled with shot, and nearly half the oars broken. " To distinguish one bravo officer from another, when all did their duty, is a difficult task; but I mar remark, that I found Captain Smith, co mman di ng the detach ment of her Mejesty's 38:11 Regiment, by my side on landing; Commander Ryder, at the head of his division, close by me; Lieutenants Johnston and Ridge, of the Alarm, leading their nen -in gallant style; and First Lieutenant Boyle, Royal Marines, of the same ship, leading his detachment as my guard, and showing an example which bis marines could not but follow. " Mr. Martin, paymaster and purser of the Alarm, accompanied me in my gig, and was of the greatest value and assistance. Besides these officers, I beg to recom mend to your favourable notice Mr. Collins, paymaster and purser of her Majesty's ship Vixen, who was a volunteer in the head quarter-port paddle-box boat; the Honourable M. A. Moreton, mate of the Alarm, who commanded the pinnace, and did good execution; Mr. Tyler, mate of the saute ship; Mr. N. E. B.
