alear, hear.) He certainly did not expect to receive any opposition from the Government, because he recol lectedthe language used last session oa the subject by the Earl of Derby, then Lord Stanley. Mr. HUME—He was not in office then.—(Laughter.) Mr. SPOONER—L or d St a nley said that " he did not hesitate to say th a t th e y ought now to consider fu ll y , deliberately, disp ass io n ately, and temperately, but at t he same time firmly, the whole of the difficult question of the relations in which the Roman Catholic subjects of this country stood to the Crown." No w he (Mr. Spooner) meant to ask only for inquiry, grounded upon the faCt that the relations of Roman Catholics in this c ountry to the Crown stood in a di ff eren t position 110 W from what they did a short time ago. Thou g h gene rally he had been a supporter of the policy of the late Sir Robert Peel, he had nevertheless opposed his pro posal for endowing Maynooth. 119 had, therefore, no thing to r e tra c t i n asking that that erviowinent should cease. Even those who had voted the other way could have no difficulty now with respect to the question, for the aggression of last year must have convinced them that the conduct of the Roman Catholic priesthood had became completely c hanged.—(Hear, hear.) If, then.- fore, any understanding or agreement existed—which he denied—that the grant should continue, it could only have been on the principle that it was to be received as II mark of kindness towards the Roman Catholics, for which in return they were to expect that the objects for which Maynooth was founded would he carried out. Whitt were the original grounds for which Maynooth was founded? Mr. ANSTEY rose to order. He thought the lion. Member was out of order in incidentally discussing the grant to Maynooth on the motion that the House do ad journ. The SPEAKER said he had not understood that the Hon. Member was about to make any motion on the subject. Any Member had a right to address the House on the question of adjournment. Mr. SPOONER remarked that the adjournment was often moved by Hon. Members for the sake of address ing the House, and by no one had such a motion been oftener made than by the Hon. Member for Youghal. The original object for endowing Maynooth was stated to be with the view of providing ministers of religion better instructed and with more kindly feelings towards the State. He wished to know if that object had been carried out? Had they any reason for believing that Maynooth had provided a more national priesthood, or one with views less hostile to the Established Church. Whatever understanding, therefore, had been come to on such grounds was completely an nulled by the subsequent conduct of the Ro man Catholics. He might refer to the opinion of the late Sir R. Peel in favour of inquiry. On the 23d June, 1840, Sir R. Peel said that " he could not a g ree that the system of education pursued at Maynooth was a Matter of indifferenee to the Legislature —that it was a legitimate subject of consideration for Parliament—and that it would be an abandonment of duty were the House of Commons to say to the Roman Catholics, Here is the money—do with it what you please—inculcate doc trines subversive of order and injurious to morality—we shan't interfere.' "—(Hear, hear.) Now he was prepared to maintain that the system of education at Maynooth was contrary to order, and at the same time injurious to morality.—(oh, oh.) Ho should not now discuss that art, as a better opportunity woul d occur.—(Hear.) As he had stated he did not expect the G overnment to op „pose the motion when brought forward. Still less did he expect it would meet with opposition from the Roman Catholic gentry themselves. Knowing the high character of many Roman Catholics, and living in intercourse with many respectable Roman Catholic families in his own county, he felt certain they were ignorant of the doctrines contained and of the principles incul cated in the books used in the College of May nooth.—(Hear, hear.) Since he had given notice of his intention to bring the subject before the House it had been his duty—a painful one he confessed—to inquire into the system of education pursued at Maynooth; and he had no hesitation in saying that it not only did not do what Sir Robert Peel said it was intended to do, but that it was subversive to order and injurious to me . rality.—(Hear.) lie went further, and maintained that • it inculcated doctrines completely antagonistic to the holy word of God.—(Cries of "0 h," and " Question.") It pla ce d the Church above—(Question). That was the question.—(Laughter, and cries of " Adjournment.") That cry of question he could only attribute to a feeling that flinched from an assertion that could not be contra dicted.—(oh.) lle did assert that the system of educa tion at Maynooth did inculcate doctrines completely an tagonistic to the holy word of God.—(Cries of " Oh.") ~Re would prove it.—(Laught er, and cries of " No, no.") It placed the Church above the word of God. It put the Priest in the place of God.—(011.) It inculcated doc trines of a nature so horrible, that the nation which supported the system under hich they were taught could not escape being guilty of a national sin, which Would certainly draw down upon it the Divine dis 111easure.—(0h, and question.) lie knew he should be despised' by some, and ridiculed by others, for what he bid said ; but he cared not. Ile wa s determined not to flinch, and was prepared to prove every word he had as serted. He had no reason to be ashamed of Him who declared that of all who where so ashamed He should be ashamed of them. He should bring the whole ques tion forward on an early day after Easter. The first • motion he had given was general. The second was dis tinct. Both stood on the paper, but the notice he in tended to proceed with was for a Committee to inquire into the system of education at Maynooth. If the mo tion were acceded to he pledged himself to prove that the assertions he had made were founded on facts. Mr. ANSTEY said that when the lion. Member com menced his long discourse—(A laugh)—he thought that the Hon. Member was about to oppose the motion for adjournment, and to move that the House should sit during the next fortnight, and inquire into the works of Dens, Delahogee, Liguori, and others, taught at May tooth. The Hon. Member had, however, postponed his motion. Mr. SPOONER said he had distinctly stated that he intended to bring it forward after Easter. Mr. ANSTEY remarked that the Hon. Member bad not fixed any day. The motion of the Hon. Member consisted of two parts—one for an inquiry into the scheme of education, and another for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal the Maynooth grant. Mr. SPOONER denied that it was so. Mr. ANSTEY was under the impression that the notice of motion was for the repeal of the Maynooth Endowment Act. If that were so, and if the Honourable Member brought forward such a mo tion, he now gave notice that he would ask leave to brin in a Bill for the rep eal of ever y Act by which endowments for religious pu r p oses had been created. by a the Legislature ant o f p ublic resources.—(Hear, near.) The time, he thought, had arrived for such a i neasnre. He believed if the lion. Member was not at resent in office, it was not becratso he had not been of- Teti office, but because he had refused it.—(Mr. Spooner s hook his head.) It had been decided that the Hon. r'ifetaber was in order in the r emarks he had made, but still questioned the taste of the Hon. Member in Snaking them. • Mr. GRATTAN said a few words deprecatory of tingingcon the discussion, and advis ed the Hon. Member fo r Warwick, if he got into a vessel, not to try and up 'set _(Laughter.) • Mr. NEWDEGATE said that his lion. Colleague had Never been offered office, and the motion of which he had given notice was his own. Government had nothing to do with it. Mr. OSBORNE had t hat reliance on the consistency of the Hon. Member for North Warwickshire as to feel Main that, on whichever side of the House ho might sit, th ere would be nothing intolerant which he would 'not advocate. Without adverting to Maynooth, ho should like to know why the Secretary fur the Treasury had left the House on Maynooth being mentioned?— . (Laughter.) That Hon. Gentleman had given notice of a education for a modification of the natio nal s y stem of in Ireland. If he should bring it forward, he '`` . " - a` n r rne) should move an amendmen t to it. r • E.

Under all the circumstances he considered this a. fair and lib e ral dividend. The re had k e eetl°,lll no attempt made on the part of the board to the accounts.

Besides, the board had charged the account w ith 27,0001. for half the interest on the money which hadhitherto remained mi productive. Had t he y wished to present a very flourish ing statement, these things wo u ld upwards have been done, but, as the line ha d clearl y earned lards of two and half per cent. per a nnum, he hoped the dividend would, with these explanations, be cheerfully accepted.— (Hear.)

Perhaps some of the shareholders mi • ght be of opinion that tho payment of 20 per cent. by the Great Northern Company from th e earnings of the E as Eastern Counties traffic sent from Peterborough to Newark; .Lincoln, and Hull, and certain et her p laces north ofthese towns, was it too high; but if so —and he'admitted was high—let it be borne in mind t hat by the transfer of the Royston and Hitchin and Sheproth Extension L ire to the Eastern Counties, to bo work ed by that company he Cam bridge and Hi tc hin, in connexion with Great wenn Northern trains, the guarantee rent to which the Great Northern was liable, an d interest, together 16,8001. a year, would have to be paid by the Eastern Counties Co believed, as he had said before, that the Company, He arrangement would be mutually beneficial, and that a harm now been established between the two companies which hnd would be of the greatest value to both.—(Hear.) te- regard to the East Anglian Company, the report With stated that the directors of the Great Northern agreedhadto hand over to them any balance of receipts after repaying all outlay ; and so that m atter was adjusted.—([leer, hear.) Wi t h regard to th e arbitration undertaken b y Mr. Gleditone, between this company and the London and North-Western and Midland Companies, he (the Chairman) wished to set himself right upon a point re specting which it was said that ho had, made a very con siderable mistake. When ever he found himself wen he was quite ready to acknowled g e his error; but v in g the present i nstanc e he fancied he would be acquitted of having committed any great offence. What a he had said was, that he had made proposal to have saying this, the matters in disput e referred; and, in was alleged that he had ta ken credit to hi m3eitf erh i tay ing made a proposal which in realit y had emanated from others. Now, the facts wor e these:—Two or three days prior to the 2d of April last , ho had mot the directors connected with the London and North-Western Com pany, but being unable to come t o an y arran g ement, they parted.

On the 2d of April h was forwarded a letter, enclosing Mr. Stewart, in which a reference one from to two gentlemen, named therein, was proposed. He (the Chairman) refused to refer the matter to the two gen tl e men in question ' but he proposed at once to r e f er it to Mr. Gladstone, and accordingly a letter to • this e ffect was written to Mr. Glyn. Fie hoped that ho had not committed any great offence in making that proposition; at a ll events, the proposition itself would show the shareholders and the public that h matters in dispute was bona fide anxious to refer all tribunal. uteto a coaapeteat and im partialsatisfied, and thus th Mr. Glyn said he was perfectly e ft matter was ultimately referred to Mr. Gladstone , Gladstone had sin and it became sub judice.

The subj , et wag discussed by the directors of the Groat Northi*e hoard, who coademeed the practice and refused to follow ie ; and a mee ti ng seek place before Mr. Gladstone witli the view of aecertaining his opinion of the matter. Clapthio Huish and Mr. Swift attended it and defended this conduct pursued. Mr. Gladstone said he was gle,l the Great Nerthern NO given notice to the Lencloe aril North- Western that they were going to reduce the fares during the Doncaster races, that the reduction. on the part of the former was a matter of policy, but apse with only 5 per cent. interest, for the London cu l l North- Western to make the reduction was meet improper.— (Hear, hear.) He then said that small as the award of five per cent, was, he regretted it, he had given it the traffic was so clearly the Great Northerns,i but that he did so in or d er to carry ou t . a calculation}he had made, and to prevent injurious competition.- e -(Hear.) Mr. Gladstone had since kindly consented to continue his good aloes, so far as to be referred to from time to time, to seo that the award was Lona fide adhered to. The chairman then preceded to read extracts from the speech of Mr. Glyn, delivered at the London and North- Western meeting yesterday week, commenting upon them as ho proreeded, and giving that gentleman credit for being a highly honourable man. He did not believe that Captain Huish and Mr. Swift could have told Mr. Glyn of what Mr. Gladstone had said at the meeting to which he had just alluded, because, if he did, as apology was due from his company, and a case of re booking, which had occurred last week, would not have taken place. A PROPRIETOR here cited an instance of the operation of the re-booking system, showing that by paying first to Northampton, and then from Northampton to London, the sum of 51. was saved. The CHAIRMAN said his object was to prevent the property of the Great Northern Company from being frittered away. He was anxious to obtain sound, fair, and honourable terms, and he would not be frightened into the making of unreasonable concessions. If the London and North-Western Company would give up treaties hostile to the Great Northern, he should have no difficulty in agreeing to a reference to respectable and disinterested parties. If Mr. Glyn made an arrange ment only with the Midland, there would be no cause to complain, but he had gone further, and made ,arrange ments with companies—with the Lancashire" and Yorkshire, for instance—whose traffic, would naturally come upon the Great Northern line. In conclusion, he left the London and North-Western Company to take the best care they could of themselves, and he promised to do the same by the Great Northern.—(Hear.) A long conversation ensued. It was complained that the coal traffic was unprofitable, and that several of the stations were useless. The agreement with the Eastern Counties was approved by some and objected to by others; and it was contended that the company was not in a position to subscribe a sum not exceeding 1,000/, per year to establish a provident society and benevolent fund. The CHAIRMAN said the average expense per mile of running the Great Northern trains was 1/. Os. 7id., and that they had travelled over 2,000,000 of miles during the half-year. Some of the stations had been established ex necessitate rei, and no doubt the direct 'receipts from them were unremunerative. Her contended that 'the coal traffic was very remunerative; that the agreement with the Eastern Counties would save the company 16,000/. a year, and be a beneficial one for both parties; and that the establishment of a provident society was a judi cious arrangement for the men as well as for the share holders. Mr, BAXTER, the law clerk, gave an explanation to the meeting, which was considered satisfactory, of the circumstances' under which the company had resisted the payment of certain expenses to which an excursionist had been subjected, who had arrived at Doncaster by a late train, and had hired a carriage to convey himself home to Barnsley. Tho report of the directors was then adopted, and the four retiring directors—namely, the Chairman, Mr. Barff, Mr. Pine, and Mr. Austell, wore re-elected. A dividend at the rate of 2} per cent. per annum was declared. 1001. for the moral and religious instruction of the workmen was voted, and the directors were authorised, at their discretion, to subscribe a sum, not exceeding 1,0001., towards the formation of the provident society. The meeting was then made special, at which the directors were authorised to promote a Bill in Parliament to enable the South Yorkshire Railway and River Dun Company to transfer their undertaking to the Great Northern Railway. The proceedings terminated with the usual vote of hanks to the chairman. THE NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. THE MIDLAND AGREEMENT. The half-pearly meeting was held in Leeds, on Thurs day, the proposed agreement with the Midland Company being one of the subjects to be brought under the con sideration of the shareholders; Henry Alcock, Esq., took the chair. The report of the directors, from which wo give some extracts, was read. " The further sum of 27,483/. 12s. sd. has been paid on capital account, making the total sum expended up to 31st December, 1851, 1,045,889/. 19s. Bd. The liabi lities of the company on the 31st December last, with the estimated sum required for works in course of con struction, and for legal and Parliamentary expenses, amounted to 113,1971., which sum might be raised by a call of 11. a share, the arrears of calls on shares, and loans on debenture. The gross receipts on revenue ac count for the half-year have been 18,6401. ss. 6d., against 14,1781. 2s. lid. for the corresponding period of the year 1850, being an increase of 4;4481. 15s. 4d., or a little over 30 per cent. The expenses during the half-year have been:-working expenses, 12,4881. 105.; excise duty and taxes, 592/. Os. 1 d. ; mileage of waggons, &c., 3371. 43. 10d.; interest on preference shares 2,9561 . 135.; interest on debenture debt, 2,6961. 15s. 41; income-tax, 801.45. 2d.; total, 19,1511. 7s. sd. From the balance in hand on the Ist July, the deficiency (5111. la. lid.) has been taken, leaving a balance of 83/. 16s. ld. to be carried forward to the credit of the account on the Ist January, 1852." The Cfaaffeafax, after a few explanatory ob serv ations on the report, moved that it be received and adopted, which was agreed to. The other resolutions, comprising the forfeiture of a number of shares, advancing Mr. %Vhelon's salary to 500/. per annum, reducing the directors allowance from 600/. to 4601. a year, and re-appointing Mr. R. Frost, one of the auditors of the company, were adopted. The meeting was then made special, for the purpose of considering the proposed agreement with the Midland Railway Company, for the working and maintenance of the North-Western line. The SECRETARY read the heads of the proposed agree ment, as follows:- . 1. The Midland Company to purchase the whole of the rolling stock and plant of the North-Western Rail way Company. 2. The Midland to work and maintain the railway and works for a period of 21 years. 3. If any general renewal of the permanent way should become necessary during the term, the North-Western to find new rails, chairs, sleepers, &c,, in exchange for tho old ones, and the Midland to find labour and carriage. 4. The North-Western to receive one-half of the gross receipts up to 26,0001. per half-year, and two thirds of any excess beyond that amount. 5. The North-Western line to be worked in every respect as a part of the Midland Railway. 6. The Midland to pay to the North-Western its mileage proportion upon all traffic to which as the nearest and legitimate route it is entitled, and which may be diverted from it by any agreement which the Midland Company have already made or may hereafter enter into with any other parties. 7. All questions of difference arising out of the agree ment to be settled by arbitration. 'Considerable discussion having taken place, the fol lowing resolution was carried:-" That this meeting be adjourned, to be held at this place on Wednesday, the 17th of March next, at twelve o'clock in the forenoon; that the consideration of the proposed agreement with the Midland Railway Company, submitted to this meet ing, be referred to the following committee, with power to confer with the directors of this company thereon; arid that the committee be requested to report to the ad journed meeting whether it is desirable'or not to adopt the proposed agreement-the following gentlemen to be the committee, viz., Messrs. A. M. Price, J. Wil kinson, Henry Newbold, Isaac Burkill, Joseph Gill, Robert Barr, Henry Watson, John Sangster, and L. H. Pegler." A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the busi ess. MIDLAND RAILWAY. The ordinary half - y earl y g eneral meeting of the Mid land Railway Company was held at the Derby station on Wednesday, Mr. John Ellis, M.P. (chairman of t he board of directors) , in 'the chair. There was a large attendance of shareholders. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption• of the re port, entered into a lengthened and detailed exposition of the company's affairs. With respect to the dividend recommended, he said that some dissatisfaction had bee n ex pressed because the directors did not propose to di vide at the rate of three per cent., seeing that the hat y old so, and carry over a considerable batae, attention; T point had not failed to elicit the directors' ious it was for the but they had felt most stro n g l y that interests of the sharehol ders that the s hould pay y such an amount of dividen d as they ld keep were morally cer tain they could contittue . to pay, an d as wou their property, which h ad already. reached its lowe4 point, in a state of progression. Ile was satisfied ' the dividend would be the same next half-year, and that after that it would rise still higher.'' He would advise them not to be bitten by taking extra half-crown, whose interest it also thereby leaving o ne next dividend in jeopardy. They and he, therefore, felt were at present on a friendly footing with the London position as if and North-Western Conip • ey, 'was to work amicably with them; fully as satisfied of the Midland Company's ua to n g Y et m her with the London and North-Virestern had act , de an agreement with them. The report was unanimously adopted a resolution for declaring the dividend in the terms it re . commended. A formal resolution was next passed, author' • g the ° the branch line to proceed with the construction f"m li ne from Glou cester to Stonehouse, and the execut i onianch t h e works con nected therewith, and to complete the of narrow gauge to Br is tol. The three retiring directors were unanimously re elected, and Mr. Cr i pp s was re-appointed an auditor. SOUTH WALES. The fourteenth half -yearly ordinary meeting of this compan y was held yesterday at the station, Padding ton; Mr. C. R. M. Talbot, M.P., in the chair. The Secretary read the following report:— • in • ‘‘ The revenue receipts for the last half:Tear.(qmo of the amount creditod on account of the conveyance of mils, for which no previous credit hat! Ken taken) iv dioate a steady progress in the traffic, as compared with tho receipts of the immediately preceding six montlizO ox , w ith the correspondieg period of 1850. " The balance of revenue up to tho 31st of December ' justifies the directors in recommending to the proprietors the payment of a divickmd for the half-year after the rats of II per cent. per annum, which will amount to 17,457/. Gs. 3d., and will !care a balance over of 1 3,8511 i. 15s. • On the 19th of September last the portion: of the• line between Chepstow East and Grange-court, a dis-• tanee of 19i miles, was opened for traffic, h u t t h e th ree • tors have deeply to regret that the bridge over the river Wye at Chepstow is still unfinished, and the consequent break in the communication between Gloucester - and Swansea not only retards the full development of the paasengar traffic, but altogether precludes the through conveyance of minerals and heavy goods, from which they have reason to anticipate a very largo revenue. Your directors are informed that the operation of moving and raising the bridge into place is now only waiting for a high spring tide. " Since the last half-yearly meeting junction branches have been completed with the Llynvi Valley Railway near Pyle, with the Forest of Dean Railway at Bullo, and the Severn and Wyc Railway at Lydney ; and a coal trsffio has been commenced from those districts, which cannot fail materially to assist revenue. :The committee having the management of the working of your railway have, in conjunction with the Great Wes tern Railway Company, made arrangements for the con veyance of this traffic upon such terms as will, they be hove, insure its full development. "In - accordance with the arrangements entered into with Sir Charles Morgan, as mentioned in the report sabraitted to the proprietors in August last, the con struction of the branch to join the Western Valleys Railway at Newport has already been commenced. In• . structions have also been g iv en f or th e i mme diate com mencement of the improvements in the Forest of Dean Railway,: authorised by the South Wales Rail Way New Works, Act, 1851. " Acting upon the course recommended by your di rectors and approved by the proprietors at the last half yearly meeting, the works upon the portion of the lino between Swansea and Carmarthen hove been pressed forward as rapidly as possible, and the directors attach ing very great importance to the early completion of the line to the latter town, whereby the traffic of the whole western district of South Wales will be secured, have intrusted Mr. Brunel to use every possible exertion to open this portion of the line so as to insure the summer traffic. West of Carmarthen the works have been pro secuted with less rapidity. " The report of the engineer will inform the proprie tors of the state of the works already opened, and of the progress making in the construction of other portions of the line. " Acting upon the instructions alluded to in the last half-yearly report, Mr. Brunel has visited and examined Milford Haven for the purpose of selecting the most eligible situation for the terminal station of the railway. Ho reported that favourable positions existed for a terminus both on the north and south sides of the haven, and your directors, after maturely consi dering all the circumstances connected with the subject, have selected Neyland as the terminal point, and have introduced a Bill into Parliament for carrying the rail way to that place. " With reference to the arrangements alluded to in the same report, as having been made with respect to the shares held by this company in the Dublin and Wieklow Company, your directors have now to report that they have availed themselves of 'an opportunity which has been afforded them, end have relieved the company from any further expenditure on account of their subscription to that railway, by the absoluse dis posal of those shares. " The directors can not refrain from again expressing their opinion that when the line shall be finished to Car marthen, whereby 130 miles of uninterrupted railway will be opened, developing the vast mineral resources of the rich districts of Monmouth and Glamorgan through which it passes, connecting them with the metropolis and the great seats of manufacture, and aided by those important tributaries the Forest of Dean at Bullo, the Severn and the Wye, at Lydney, the western valleys at Newport, the Tuff-vale at Cardiff, .the Llynvi- valley, the Vale of Neath and Llanelly Railways; and when the communication shall be completed with the numerous ports on the Bristol Channel, such au extensive and lucrative traffic will be brought into existence as will insure to the shareholders good interest for their capital. " The directors have to regret that, since the last half yearly meeting, Sir John Guest has been compelled by ill health to resign his seat at the hoard. They have elected Mr. Mortimer to supply the vacancy thus caused, believing that in so doing they were best consulting the interests of the company and the general wishes of the proprietors." The following is the Engineer's report:— . " During the last half-year the line from Gloucester to Chepstow East has been completed, and was opened on the 19th September. Since that time junctions have been completed between the Bullo Pill and the Severn and Wye tramways and the South Wales Railway, giving facilities for a large and increasing traffic in coals from the Forest of Dean to various parts of the Great Wes tern Railway ; the necessary arrangements have been made for commencing the intended broad gauge line from the South Wales Railway and Ballo Pill into the Forest of Dean. The contract for the heaviest portion of the work, namely, the enlargement of the existing tunnel and the construction of another short tunnel through Blakeney-hill will be let during this month. The remaining work extending into the coal districts is of a very slight and easy character. " The works between Grange-court and Chepstow East have stood the late severe weather very well, ex cepting only a small slip in a cutting near Lydney, which is now remedied, and which was of comparatively small extent. " At the Chepstow-bridge girders over the land open ings are being fixed and ballasted. The river bridge for the down line has been fixed complete in the yard, and tested satisfactorily, and the tube is now ready to be moved and to be hoisted over the river. The supporting cylinders or piers are completed, and the standards are being erected upon them. I expect that the staging and tackle for erecting the tube will be completed in about a fortnight. " Since the last half-yearly report an extensive en largement of the Nestle Station, for the joint use of the Vale of Neath and South Wales Railways has been finished,: and the Vale of Neath Railway has been opened. " A small station has also been opened at Mager, and anether is in course of construction at St. Pagans. " The junction at Newport with the Western Valleys Railway is in progress. "The works between Chepstow and Swansea aro all in good order, and the permanent way throughout the line is in every respect satisfactory. • " At'Swansea the viaduct of the Swausea coal branch is nearly finished, the permanent way is being laid, and on the completion of the drop machinery, which is being constructed at Newcastle, the whole will be ready for the shipment of minerals. " Between Swansea and Carmarthen considerable pro gress has been made. About seven-eighths of the Swan sea Tunnel and half of the piling of the Lougher Bridge are completed. The sea work between Llanelly and Pembrey and the sea wall at Ferry-Side are finished; the earthwork generally is well advanced; eleven miles of ballast at detached intervals are ready for the perma nent way; the construction of the stations for letting is advertised, and there can be no doubt of this portion of the line being ready to open for public traffic during the present summer." The CH/i_areverr moved that the reportbe adopted, printed, and circulated among the shareholders. He deeply regretted that the integral communication be tween London and Swansea had not ye t been effected, but he could assure the shareholders that everything which energy and skill could do towards then plishment of this object had been done b y IS6I and by all persons practically connected w ith the under taking.

The di rectors were about to apply to Parliament for a Bill ex tending the line to Milford Haven, a s n et d hqua t et h n e ic i t r e had already marked out the site of a terminus at that port.

The report was unanimously adopted. The CILLIRBILN moved that a dividend at the rate of li per cent. be declared and apportioned among the shareholders. Mr. PRICE moved, b y way of amendment, that no divi dend be declared. The amount was to small individually to be worth receiving, and it appeared too him that it would be far better to let it remain as a reserve. There was a balance of only 21,0001., and of this 10,0001., one half the amount, due from the Post-office, had not been received. The amendment, however, was not seconded, and the original motion was then adopted. Messrs. Talbot, M.P., C. S. Mortimer, J. H. Vivi an ' M.P., and L.

Some little excitement was caused on Thursday by au alarm of fire on board the Sanspareil screw-ship, at Devonport Dockyard. It appears that a number of contractors' men, as well as shipwrights, were working below by candlelight, and by some means some shay.. ings between the boilers ignited, spreading rapidly to others, when the smoke ascended, causing serious alarm. Fortunately the usual precautions of casks filled with w ater, on each deck, proved effectual. Some hastened to screw on the hose to the water - p i p e s on shore; but they were not need ed, as the fire was extin guished by n ta m ke a n de in t t o o the new dock at t he north corner of Portsmo uth yard, on f r im Ev gt er ahte y e , e candle c n a d p e t a n v i 0 1l u dropped,jro n ha e has bee n l v e but be as in vain.

We have often thought the sea-coal pil e very like the caloric of political govern ment, originally intended to promote healthy warmth, but which, under bad management, often presents very little heat, and a great deal of smoke, the carbo niferous grossness of which at last chokes up the chimney of the people, until the chimney becomes on fire, and a revolutionary reform notion, in some shape or other, gives it a temporary " clear out;" and most cer tain it is that every Honourable Member thinks he can stir the political fire better than any other Honourable Member. One believes that the vital heat can only be preserved by a worrying stir, given by that hard cast iron poker, The Better Observan ce of the Sabbath; " another imagines that it entirely depends upon a bold raking with a " Catholic Question;" a third has an im plicit faith in breaking up the close sulky coals at top. and lotting in the draught of " Free Trade;" a fourth begins at the bottom of the grate with an " Education Bah" a fifth declares that the vitality rests solely on certain one-sided thrusts with the crooked lever forged by " Protectionists;" while the majority, like our selves are anxious to make as much flare as possible, merely to gratify their own petty conceits. We beg pardon, ladies must not mention politics, though it may be a question whether there is sot as much non sense talked by old women: i n the House, as by old women out of the House --taking bad grammar and dis located sentences into the bargain.
