Mr. LEGGE said that although he would personally have liked to enter upon the discussion of the finan cial position of the company, he thought it was desirable that they should depart that day without debate, and leave the matter in the hands of the directors and the large shareholders whores they had consulted. (Loud cries of " No, no.") Air. Eowa It D Smerit, of Sheffield, said ho was a proprietor in that cono!rn before the first Eod was turns. lie had a very large =omit of the original stock ; he ha I never sold a single share, and did not mean to do so, consequently he wanted to make the most of that stock that he could, and he was sure that to quarrel among themselves was not the best way to do that. He believed they had, as a chair man, one of the ablest men in the kingdom, and who was not only an able, but an honest man, who had thrown a vast amount of energy and experience into the conduct of their affairs with the determination to set them right if he possibly could. They had bad the inoney market against them, and had to pay a high rate of interest, while at the same time they had paid off half a million of temporary loans. ThOugh that payment left them no cash for an im mediate dividend, it really placed the company in a much better position for the future, and the pro posal of the board to raise a preference stock to pay off the remaining temporary loans and pressing lia bilities was the true policy for the shareholders to adopt. He did not personally know a single, mem ber of the board, but he did seriously advise the shareholders to give the directors time to collect the means to pay these debts. If they took up the 6 per cent. preference stock according to their means, and enable the directors to pay off their debts, public concidence would be restored, and the price of their shares would go up. His closing advice was no shouting, no quarrelling, but let them quietly ad journ until the 29th of Alarch. (Cheers.) The Chairman then put the motion, which was carried almost unanimously, and the meeting broke up. Railway Traffic Returns for the Week, Miles Opened. Receipts. Railways. 1867.

THE RECRUITING COMMISSION. The Earl of DALHOUSIE said that, considering it was a most important question with regard to recruiting, he should give notice of a motion on that subject on Thurs day next. FENIANISI{ IN IRELAND. Lord DERBY said that as some of his noble friends were desirous of information relative to the position of affairs in Ireland, he would read to them the last telegram that had been received from Ireland. It stated that there had been an assemblage of insurgents at Kilkenny, about eight miles from Limerick junction, but that a body of troops had been sent in pursuit of them. Farmers' houses had been visited by tho rebels, but that no other disturbance had occurred. That was all that had at present been received. TILE INSURRECTION IN CRETE. The Duko of ARGYLL said that, in moving for papers relative to the late outbreak iu Crete, he would . say that in those provinces they had a large number of Christians ruled over by a Mahommeden minority, and that the for mer had no voice in the government of those provinces. Whenever outbreaks arose in those I.r.)vinces we were told, on the one hand, that it was the fault of the Greeks, and on the other, that it arose through the oppressive con duct of the Mussulmans. It bed been agreed, in 1836, that the Christian should have the same political privileges as the 3lussulman, but ou no occasion had there been any iuteutiou of carrying out this arrangement. This had been a question which had been avoided by every Government., but that it was necessary that the position of Christians as to perfect equality in the Turkish dopinions should be thoroughly defined, but no such state of affairs had yet takenplace. In the beginning of Sept. there was an outbreak, and the inhabitants betook themselves to their mountain farms. He (the noble duke) Would say that these. contentious were characterised by the most horrible of all feelings, that of religious discord, and that these were accompanied with the greatest bru tality on both sides. And in this struggle not only native troops had been employed, but the barbarous races of Oircassia, Albania, &c. He would now come to the period when the Government first became aware that a civil war had broken out in Crete, and that then her Majesty's Government had declared the strictest neutrality. His lordship then proceeded to review the whole of the events that had oc curred from that period down to the present time. He characterised the whole of the proceedings in that island as sanguinary in the extreme, and, although the inhabitants had asked that their wives and children might be placed upon English ships, they had been refused. The request certainly came from a particular quarter, from the King of Greece ; but still an order might have been granted to Lord Lyons, or Mr. Dixon, to . use their discretion in the matter. - The atrocities, committed by the Egyptian and other troops were described as most horrible, and the same was attributed to the Christians, but there was no palliation of the former. Lord Lyons had lost no opportunity to urge the Ottoman authorities to protect. the women and children, and he had taken upon himself to order Consul Dixon to take steps to protect these families, but no sooner had Consul Dixon done so than orders came from home that a strict neutrality was to be maintained. Consul Dixon thee furnished the Government with the reasons which induced him to disobey the instruc tions, as the circumstances were of extreme urgency. Tho heartrending circumstances that had taken place in duced him to despatch the unfortunate wives and families of the insurgents to her Majesty's ship Assurance. He (the noble duke) could not help admiring the conduct of Consul Dixon. He even admired it more than the con duct of Nelson when, in the line of battle, ho refused to obey the admiral's signal to retire. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of DERBY defended the Foreign Office from the charges of the Duke of Argyll. The complaints of the Cretans, he said, were mostly unfounded, and all were greatly'exagerated. The avowed cause of the insurrec tion was, in fact, their desire for annexation to Greece. At the time the Great Pcwers were exerting their friendly offices, and the Porte had scut a most able and humane commissioner to inquire into their grievances, the Cretans flew to arms, and the Porto was quite justified in putting down. the rebellion when it found that the overtures of Mustapha Pacha, who had displayed the greatest modera tion and humanity, were rejected. The employment of irregular troops was to be regretted, for no doubt they had perpetrated many atrocities : but atrocities had also been committed on the other side. The truth was that the re bellion was originated in Athens, and had been carried on by volunteers and supplies from Greece, with the con nivance of the Greek Government, in the hope that the flame of insurrection would spread to other parts of the Ottoman Empire. It was this, therefore, which had pre vented the Porte from carrying out the policy of concilia tion it had assured the Great Powers it was prepared to adopt in Crete. With regard to the course pursued by the tc set an example that British Government, it was n ot their duty, by interfering inth would e he ) internal fata lto a affairs of independenceo f Turk e y as a European pnwer. , Under all the circumstances, the Foreign Secretary could have taken no other course than he did; although most painful it was absolutely necessary. The Earl of KIMBERLEY approved of the policy of her Majesty's Government, and observed that the fewer entanglements we had in the East the better it was for the true interests of this country. Earl GREY having also addressed the house, and pro nounced the Crimean war to have been equally impolitic and useless, the motion was withdrawn. In answer to the Marquis of CLANIiICAItDE, The Earl of DERBY remarked that the state of affairs in Spain was so uncertain that it was impossible to say when the correspondence respecting the Tornado would be complete for publication. The Public Schools Bill was read a third time, and passed ; and Their lordships adjourned at a quarter to eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS-LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took tho chair at 4 o'clock. NEW WRITS. New writs were ordered to issue for Dreitwich, the Northern Division of Devon, and Tyrone, for the election of members in place of Sir John Pakington, Sir Stafford Northcote, and Mr. Corry, who had since their election accepted respectively the offices of Secretary of War, Secretary for India, and First Lord of the Ad-. miralty. TIIE BRIBERY COMMISSION. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he would bring in a separate bill to disfranchise the boroughs of Lancaster, Reigate, Totnes, and Yarmouth, and how he proposed to deal with the pre sent members of those boroughs who still retain their seats in that house? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was not the intention to proceed against those boroughs by separate bills. With respect to the present members of those boroughs who had seats in that house, all he had to say was that he was very glad they had, as they were very useful members of the House of Commons. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) THE FENIAN MOVEMENT. Mr. H. HERBERT asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether Government had reconsidered their policy with reference to those implicated with the Fenian movement and those taken in arms, and if they had determined to change that policy, whether it would not bo expedient to make it known immediately, in order to prevent others joining in the outbreak ; and whether martial law would he proclaimed in those districts where outbreaks occurred ? Mr. WALPOLE said every district where disturbances had taken place had been proclaimed ; with respect to the first portion of the question ho did not know to which the hon. gentleman referred. Mr. HERBERT wished to know whether a district pro claimed brings it under nrirtial law ? Mr. WALPOLE—Certainly not. Mr. HERBERT—Does the Government intend to pro claim martial law in those places? Mr. WALPOLE—Thatquestion is under the consider ration of the Government, and therefore no answer can be given to it at present. (Hear, hear.) CASHMERE. Lord W. HAY asked the Secretary of State for India whether the Indian Government had appointed an Eng lish officer to reside at Leh, the capital of Ladak, in the dominions of the Maharajah of Cashmere; if so, in what capacity, and whether the appointment had been made with the approval of the Maharajah; and whether the Indian Government had decided to despatch a commercial mission to Turkistan and Thibet. Lord STANLEY said no information of the appoint ment of such an officer by the Governor-General of India had reached England ; neither was there any intention to appoint a mission to Turkistan. THE ORNAMENTAL WAR IN REGENT'S-PARK. Mr. T. CHAMBERS asked the First Commissioner of Works when the works at the Ornamental Water in the Regent's-park were to be commenced, and how long they were to occupy. Lord J. MANNERS said it was proposed to commence the works in the autumn, and they' would occupy about six months. THE FENIAN OUTBREAK. In reply to an Ilox. 31EunEn, Mr. WALPOLE said the only telegram received was to the following effect :—" No event of importance except the meeting of a number of persons at a place eight miles from Limerick Junction. Military gone to disperse them. Neighbourhood around Dublin and Drogheda quiet." (Hear, hear.) THE VOLUNTEERS. Mr. W. FORSTER called the attention of the house to the uncertainty as to the position of the Volunteers conse quent on their late employment as an armed force at Chester; and asked the Government what steps they intended to take to remove that uncertainty. Ile said the feeling that bad led to the great success of the Volunteer force was• the understanding at the commencement that it w mld never be called upon to aid the civil power. The circumstances that had occurred at Chester rendered it imperative that the views of liovern rneut should be at once clearly stated, because he was of opinion the calling upon the volunteers ought to be the last resource. The police, the special constables, and even the yeomanry cavalry ought to be made available before the volunteers were called upon to aid the civil force. 11.1 hoped there would be no ambiguity about the explana tion which would be given by the Government. If the volunteers were called upon to act in their military capa city except in the event of actual invasion, the result would be, in a great measure, to destroy the popularity of the force, if not ultimately to bring about its entire dis- solution. Earl GROSVENOR and Colonel BARTELOT were of opinion that nothing short of invasion onght to render volunteo►s liable to be called upon for active service. Sir G. GREY did not think there was any necessity for an alteration of the law, which was quite sufficient to protect tho whole of her Majesty's well-disposed subjects. LATEST TELEGRAM. Mr. WALPOLE said he had received a tele gram from Ireland within the last few minutes, which was as follows : " Accounts come in since the morning from Clare and Limerick state that a large number of farm houses have been entered in the dark, and all arms found taken away. " Uneasiness in the South not subsided." The right hon. gentleman then proceeded to answer the question put to him with respect to the volunteer force He said there had been no employment of volunteers as volunteers at Chester. There was a felonious at tempt to take Chester Castle, and under such circumstances it was the duty of every loyal person to aid the civil force. Ile thought instructions ought to be drawn stating clearly the circumstances under which the civil power could call for military assistance. He did not intend to propose any alteration in the law. • Mr. BRIGHT thought the explanation just given added nothing to the previous knowledge of the house on the question; for the right hon. gentleman seemed to say that the volunteers might, and that they might not! When the force was first constituted it was certainly understood by the public that they could never, under any circum stances, be called out for the purpose of suppressing inter nal tumults. There was no real need for so employing them, and his reason for saying that was, that as a general rule in such cases they would have to bo employed against their neighbours, and that it was preferable to use the regular army for that purpose. Remarks were also made by Cul. L. LINDSAY and Mr. T. HUGHES; after whom The ATTORNEY-GENERAL rose and stated the law to be perfectly clear that volunteers could not be called on, as a military body,to assist the civil authorities for any pur pose, whilst they were not released from the duties that devolved upon them in common with every subject of the Crown. But although this was plain, it was useless to attempt to define what were the duties of citizens in every variety of emergency that might arise. The Marquis of HART INGTON suggested that the instructions proposed to be issued by the Home Office should be placed on the table of the house in the first instance. Lord ELCHO presumed, that as the Executive would be responsible for calling out the volunteers, they would arm them in a manner that would be suitable to the emer- gency. The discussion was continued by Mr. 0. Stanley, Mr. Akroyd, and Mr. Scourfield, and then the matter dropped. Mr. AYRTON, reminding the Chancellor of the Exche quer of his promise to acquaint the house when the Cabinet had been reconstructed, expressed a hope that the right hon. gentleman was able to inform the house that he was now a member of a complete Administration, and to give an assurance that on the 18th inst. he would bring in a bill for Reform large and comprehensive in its character, simple in its provisions, and likely to be satisfactory to the country. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had the satisfaction of stating that the Government was complete at present, and that ho hoped by the end of tho week it would be completely represented in both houses. The writs which had been moved that evening sufficiently in dicated the arrangemeuts made as they affected the House of Commons. In the other house the Queen has been pleased to confer the seals of Secretary of State for the Colonies on the Duke of Buckingham; the Duke of Marl borough had been appointed Lord President of the Council ; and the Duke of Richmond had accepted the office of Pre sident of the Board of Trade. Under these Circumstances he had great pleasure in stating that he had no doubt he should be able to fulfil his engagement for the 18th inst. by introducing a measure of Parliamentary Reform. Mr. B. HOPE moved that, as the customs revenue is now derived from an exceedingly small number of articles, the prices of most of which in London and Paris are equal, this house considers that no appreciable injury would be inflicted upon the income of the country were the present practice of the search of the baggage of travellers at Dover, Folkestone, Newhaven, and in London, suspended during the period of the French Exhibition of 1867. Mr. WATKIN seconded the motion, which was op posed by Mr. W. HUNT, who said that it the Government could, without loss of revenue, see their wry to conceding the boon asked for, they would have gladly done so. But, after going fully into the consideration of ;he question, and collecting all the infortnation p , ssible, they had arrived at the conclusion that it would not be eonstistent with their duty to allots , the right (if A enrich to be .'ono away with. With the obj-ct, however, of lessening the inconveniency• and annoyance to tr.tvellJrs l A t and frDn► the Park Exhi bition a greater number Of bands would be put on nt the different stations to save delays, and in the selection of these persons the utmost care would be taken. ' Mr. CIIILDER3 hoped the house would not accede to the motion, the facts adduced by Mr. Hunt being, in his judgment, incontrovert►ble. Mr. GLADSTONE believed the apprehensions enter tained as to the effect upon the revenue of abolishing the right of search were well founded, end feared that what ever plan was adopted during the Exhibition would have to be continued afterwards. Th 3 CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER assured the house that there had been every disposition on the part of the Government to meet the wishes of their countrymen in this matter; but they were convinced that they could not do so consistently with their duty. Various schemes had been suggested, and should be considered, but at that mo ment the point at issue was whether the house was pre pared to support the Government in their endeavours to defend the revenue. Mr. HOPE then withdrew his motion. The only other subjects discussed on the order for sup ply were the condition of the Royal Irish Academy, and the transfer of the 'Straits settlement from the Indian to the Colonial Government. The remainder of the sitting was occupied chiefly with the consideration of the Metropolitan Poor Bill in commit tee. Some unopposed bills were forwarded a stage ; and The house rose at 20 minutes to ono o'clock. BAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. GREAT WESTERN. The half-yearly meeting of shareholders was held yesterday at the Paddington terminus of the com pany. The meeting was very numerously attended. The directors upon entering the roonuwere greeted with mingled cheers and hisses. Sir D. Gooch, Bart. M.P., was in the chair. The advertisement conven ing the meeting having been .read by the - secretary, the report was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN said it was with very great regret that he was not able to offer a report more consol ing and showing the concern in a more prosperous state ; but he felt that if they looked carefully at the report they would see much in it that still spoke well of the future of the undertaking. lie had on the previous day an opportunity of discuzsing, with some 50 of the largest shareholders of the company, the question as to the best policy to be pursued at the present meeting, and the board quite con curred with the views of those gentlemen that the meeting should be adjourned till the -9th of the present month, when the directors hoped they would be able to give the shareholders more perfect infor mation as to the finances of the company. The shareholders knew that the financial position of the Great 1% estern had been brought into some difficulty —not from the fault of the directors or proprietors ; and this difficulty first of all arose from other rail way companies getting into a serious state of em barrassment, and throwing discredit on all parties. But it had been brought about chiefly by the want of confidence ou the part of the public in the security of debentures, and that confidence had been still more weakened by the recent decision of Lord Cairns, which had really caused the embarrassments with which the company now had to deal. They knew that the Great Western had a large amount of money in temporary loans. lie took the opportu nity on both occasions, when he had presided, of impressing upon the shareholders that if difficulties occurred in the money market, their position as to those loans would be a very hazardous one. Twelve months since, when he'addressed them, he did not imagine the difficulty was so near, and when he saw them in October he urged on them that they should, as shareholders, look to themselves for relief, and that it was idle to go to the public to help them if they did not help themselves. There had been but a slight response to the appeal which had been made to the shareholders, and if they could have got out £1,500,000 of the 6 per cent. stock they would have been in a very good financial position. During the last year they had reduced their temporary loans to something like £BOO,OOO, those loans having pre viously been £1,300,000. To that extent they had been relieved from embarrassment. This was a pleasing feature in the accounts, but they all knew how much of the capital of a railway company con sisted of debentures ; it was part of the capital au thoriFed by Parliament, but there was no special provision in the parliamentary powers granted to meet the debentures when they became due if the holders did not renew them. Now, when he told them that the public had practically ceased to take up the company's debenture stock, they must feel that, with respect to financial mat ters, the company required some other aid than that which they might receive from any renewal of de bentures, and on which they had hitherto relied. As to the security afforded to the debentures and pre ference claims by the revenue, it was very ample. During the past year the net revenue of the com pany was £1,800,000 or £1,900;000, while the de benture and interest, including rent charges, was something under £900,000, and the interest on the preference claims £700,000, so that they had a quar ter of a million sterling for ordinary dividend above all their other liabilities. If they could have re newed their debentures, which would not have been difficult if the shareholders had taken up the 6 per cent. preference stock, the directors would have been able to pay off the temporary loans, and, in stead of being now in any difficulties, or asking the shareholders to accept asomewhat reduced dividend, which he could, if neces.sary,show had been honestly earned, they would have been placed in the position which, speaking, for himself, he had no reason to doukt would give a sound dividend for the future. During the last six years they hal had revenue bur thened with extra claims to th 3 extent of nearly £400,000, and the c nnpany had been able to meet the whole of those claims, With respect to the fu-' ture revenue of the conany, if they took into ac count all the liabilities of the cenpany —he meant those lines with which they had agreements, bat ' which were not yet opened, and the lines of which they had leases—it would be found that those lia bilities for the next five years would be something less than £125,000 per annum. With a growing revenue to the extent of £150,000, he could not look to the future with resdeet to the progress of the undertaking as likely to be embarrassing; but what he wished to impress upau the shareholders was that they could meet the financial difficulties of the com pany only bygetting rid of their liabilities by taking up the 6 per cent. preference stock, which would get rid of their temporary loans and put them in funds i to pay dividends on other stocks. With regard to the debentures, they could not tell from day to day what the condition of them would be, as they did not know until they were due, whether they would be renewed or not, and he might repeat that since the decision of Lord Cairns the supply of money from that source had been almost shut against the company. lie could not tell the result of this, but they must be prepared to meet it bold . y. The directors wished that there should not be any dis cussion that day, but that the meeting shou'd be ad journed to the 29th inst. lie then moved the ad journment of the meeting. Mr. WOOD, the deputy-chairman, seconded the motion. Mr. TAYLOR said the course now recommended by the chairman and the board of raising money them selves to pay off temporary loans was one which he had advocated years ago, and his only regret was that it had not been then adopted instead of its now being forced upon them by inevitable necessity. lie was sure they would have avoided many difficulties and escaped much los3 if such a policy had been pursued. However painful and embarrassing it might be to many of them to subscribe to the proposed stock, he believed it was the only way they had left them to set thenuelyes honest with the world, and to add MG.

TILE PANAMA ROUTE.--The Mataura occupied performing the voyage of less than the time a ll o wed. The average speed t hrou g h out was up. 7 7 7 1 5 y 0 thirty-two hoots, being days two in days wards of ten knot. The steamers of the Panama, • New : f gland, and Australian Royal Mail Company have now made twelve voyages across the Pacific, ant having regard to the magnitude of the service, and to the fact that the distance run every voyage without any stoppage to coal between Wellington and Panama, is about double the distance traversed by any other first-class mail steamers in the world without detention, the performances of the company's vessels are certainly very extra ordinary, and the company may well congratulate themselves on their highly successful achievements. It is notorious that " experienced" persons inte rested in ocean navigation prognosticated a most signal failure, being " convinced" such long voyages could never be accomplished in the time ; but hap pily, for the company engaged in the enterprise, and equally fortunate for the colonies contributing the subsidy of £llO,OOO a year, those predictions have been completely negatived. No one can now deny the advantages of the service, to New Zealand especially, and to the Australian colonies generally, both on account of the new connection with the mother country and the direct communication with North and South America. It may, therefore, fairly be assumed that the service will prove a per manent success in every respect. The Kaikonra, with the English mails of Nov. 2, arrived at Sydney on the 31st of December, being slightly before her contract time.—New Zealand Examiner. SPANISH MAIL SERVICE. —A renewal of the eon!ract for carrying the bi-montbly mail between Spain and the island of Cuba was let on the loth by public tender at Madrid. This service has been performed during the last seven years by Messrs. Lopez and Co., of Cadiz, with much success, and the remunerative nature of the traffic, apart from the postal subsidy, being well known, there was much competition for a renewal of the contract. The fortunate competitors are Messrs. C. Mitchell and Co., of Newcastle•on-Tyne. The annual sub sidy is about £102,000, commencing in February, 1868, and the steamers required for the service are to be f 1,500 tons builder's measurement each. Messrs. Mitchell have been engaged for some years at St. Petersburgh in constructing large armour-clad vessels of war for the Russian Government.— Shipping Gazette. The ever-increasing import into England of eggs from abroad reached in the year 1866 the enormous number of 438,878,880.
