C:.*, : 'VY/b*,...11.1:. MORNING SUN. Mr. I'AIIONS wished to ask what the arrears were upon the shares not. forfeited? The amount did not appear in the Report. The SECRETAIW Said: that there would bee. supple meptau Report which Would show that amount. The CHAIRMAN explained that it was possible the amount could . then be stated, as many parties had paid up their arrears on that very day. The CthixamAN then put the last resolution before him. The resolution was to the effect " That the Piiiprietors should be enabled to erect accommodation at, the, Greenwich _and other termini " 111 1 11einetion was put and carried without any discussion. lELIr said he had another case to submit to the kindMiss,and consideration of the meeting. It was known to many of the gentlemen present, that Mr. John Wil liams was HOW in a - state of great distress, with nothing left him of a'very large fortune. lie should move, there fore, that the Concpany, as an act of kindness, should vacate. the judgments now hanging over him. Mr. Pansoxs seconded the amendment. The CHAIRMAN said that for his part he had no objec tion to the motion. He believed that Mr. Williams was now in a state Of einharasstuent into which he had been led principallYlY his too kind and unsuspicious nature. He(the Ch - airman) had al so consu l te d the Sol i c i tor to the Company, and he found there could be no legal ob j ection to their passing such a vote. A PROPRI E TOR suggested that the question should be brought; in the first instance, before the Directors. The CHAIRMAN said that the Directors could not in ; terfere in th e case w i t h out t h e sanction of the Pro prietors. No 15,358 LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1841. ?RICE 5d Q ... TEAM.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity , of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted theniselves ex elusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing; they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical The numberless inst ances d a il y occurr i ng, whers i n practice. affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools , whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

EXETER, Nov. 23.—(From a Correspondent.) —The Protestant Association sent one of its hireling firebrands here yesterday to address the people on the enormous Oils likely to result from the encroachments of Popery. The name of this gentleman is Mr. Lord— his calling is that of a barrister. I presume that he is not very successful in bagging briefs, so he has taken a brief for true! Protestantism—all in the way of trade. The meeting here took place at the Clarence Hotel, Captain Bingham, R.N., was called to the chair. A great number of the Working Men's Association were present, and the Protestants began to see very early in the even ing that they were not likely to have the most unanimous meeting. There were very few of the clergy present, and not one of the leading clergy or dignitary farmers. The lecturer proceeded in the usual strain of uncharit able vituperation of the Catholics. He was interrupted by incessant references to the intolerance of the Protes; tant Church in imprisoning people for Church-rates, and seizing the goods of Quakers. Some of his most bitter denunciations against the Catholics were answered by " three cheers for the I?ev. Mr. Oliver," the exemplary and benevolent priest of this city, three cheers for the Lord Mayor of Dublin, three groans for 13ishop Phill putts, the Exeter Pope, &c. &c. The ladies were fright ened at these party cries, and took refuge on the plat form. A vote of thanks to the lecturer was met by a vote of censure, as an amendment, 'pit by Mr. Besley ; and when the chairman called for the doxology before separation, some of the plebeians called for " God save the Queen,"which the chairman con sen t e d to. The nationalantem was then sung in a very orderly style, and the doxology was then afterwards sung with due solemnity, much .more than from the previous tenor of the meeting I had anticipated. The meeting was a failure, and it is doubted whether the Protestant Asso ciation will send another lecturer here.—The weather here is most inclement, rain and 51101, falling heavily, with a cold nort) wind. The Half-yearly Q - eneral Meeting of the Proprietors of this Company was lield)i . eSterda,k at the London Tavern, for the purpose o f r . ee6lyin g tlie,lloort of the Directors, together with th a t CUbitt; and a general state ment of the accounts froni the _§oretary. Mr. Ilexr.x - ral..t Welt' the• Chair at one o'clock, and called on the Secretary to read the advertisement calling the meeting together. It was then moved that the common seal of the Com pany should be attached to the register of the DirectorS; which was agreed to. Tha Secretary then read the followinir Report of the Directors : " Since the Half-yearly Meeting in May last, the progress which has been made in those portions of the line between Tunbridge and the junction with the, Brighton Railway:h as b een suc h as to conf i rm t h e op i - ' nion then expressed by the Directors, that that district may be opened - for traffic before the next Half-yearly Meeting of the Proprietors. " The contract for ballasting the line and laying the permanent way between Redstone-hill and Tunbridge has been some time in operation, and there is xeason to believe thaethe eastern portion, about .eleven miles in completed miles leted btenfocroempthleete, which the end of the year, l l e e a n v g i t n h g , will about b e Con tractor is 'under an engagement to finish early in the "Under the recomme n d at i on o f t he E ng i neer- i n-Ch i ef spring of 1842. the Directors have adopted certain` improvements in the form and description of sleepers, chairs, and fastenings ; they have also substituted, in lieu of iron pins, treenails Of 'compressed oak ; and from the experiments which have been tried on that portion of the permanent way, which has been laid for more than two miles, over which the locomotive is daily passing, they hlve reason to ek- ' press their perfect accordance in the principle, and their approbation of the result. "Eastward of Tunbridge, for a distance of thirty-four miles, the line has been contracted for, and the wprks are in progress. A large portion of - the brickwork on that part of the line :intended for the'nekt ,opening has been finished, and the Contractor 'is bound,: to complete and open the line to the,Staplehurii Mid; a . distance of twelve miles east ot Tiinbridge, by the ist of July, 1842. " That part of the line from, the .- Staplehurst-road to Ashford, a distance of fourteen miles, is let to a respon sible contractor, to be. opened in the year 1842. At this point the Dover tratfie will come upon the line, being a distance of twenty 'miles from that place. " Beyond Ashford another contract has been let, ex tending over nearly seven miles, the earthworks of which requiring some time to co.nplete, it has been deemed ad visable to commence them at the' present time, in order that their completion may be effected .by the time the line is in a condition to be opened to Folkstone. " The works in the Dover district have continued to advance steadily and satisfactorily. The Warren and Folkstone contracts have . bien completed to formation level, and arrangements have 'been made for driving the Saltwood Tunnel and other works in that district. " The Directors have the satisfaction to state that the works have sustained no injury from the continued rains to which they have been subjected ; the embankments being nearly closed, the late wet weather has been of considerable service in consolidating them ; they have, however, instructed Mr. Cubitt to prepare a Report on the subject of the works, which will be submitted to the meeting. " The whole of the land from Redstone-hill to Dover has been contracted for, and in addition to the amount already paid under that head, as shown in the accounts, there remained on the Ist of October last a sum unpaid, amounting to 53,0911., a portion of which has since been paid. " Of the 400 shares forfeited at the last meeting, fifty were redeemed on the following day by payment of the calls then due, and ninety-one were sold at prices real izing more than was owing upon them. There are now 1,405 shares in the hands of the Company. "By Resolutions of the Board, dated Aug. 17 last, the Directors declared forfeited 7,372 shares, which were then in arrear ; since that date payment has been made on 2,513 shares Arrangements have been made for the payment of others, and, unless between this period and the day of tneaing the remainder be redeemed by pay ment of the call?, a resolution for confirming the declara tions" There are, however, other cases in which the of forfeithre will be submitted to the meeting. Di rectors have considered it more to the . advantage of the Company not to forfeit' the shares, but have adopted legal proceedings for the, recovery-tyf the arrears, and they have reason 'itibelieve that'in theSe cases the whole will eventually be recovered. " The necessity of increasing the proposed accom modation at the London-bridge • station has been such, that it became imperative on the Directors to co-operate with the Brighton and Croydon Companies in its enlarge ment, and they doubt not•that the Proprietors will give credit for the attention and assiduity of the managers in carrying out the works. " On referring to the accounts of expenditure by the Directors, it will be seen that payments have been made to the extent of 18,304/. 3s. 4d., on account of the joint station at London-bridge. It is desirable that provision should be made to repay the amounts thus advanced from the funds of this Company, and also to provide for the future payment of those which will be required for that object, and as power has been granted to raise time sum of 120,000/. for the express purpose 'of the station at Lon don-bridge, it is proposed to submit to this meeting a resolution authorising the raising of that amount, or any part of it, agreeably to the prOviions of the Act under which such power was given. - " In concluding their Report, th e Di r ee t O r S d es i re t o express their unabated co n fid enc e in the soundness of their undertaking ; convinced, as they are, that, whether regarding the cost of the line, or the expected traffic re sulting therefrom, it must sooner or later prove itself entitled to a better position than it now holds in the rail way world. " the annexed account of the receipts and expenditure of the Company shows a balance in hand of 26,3611.55. ld." The statements of the receipts and expenditure up to Ist October last were then read, showing receipts 788,852/. 2s. 9d., and expenditure 762,490/. 17s. Bd., l eav i n c, a balance in the ha n d s o f t h e C ompany o f 26,3611. 6 3s. Id. The SECRETARY then read the Report of Mr. birbitt,' from which we make the following extract. After stat ing his belief that the line might be opened to Tunbridge during the month of May next, tia stated in former Re ports, it continued thus : " Since the last General Meeting in May; the works . between Red Hill and Tunbridge have been imremittingly pushed forward ; and, but for unexampled wet weather during the whole of the last month, all the embankfnents upon 'that 20 miles of line Would have - been joined and completed up tn formation level ; as it is, however, there does not remain a month's work to complete all the em bankments ready fOr , ='billasting ; and, setting aside the delay, the works- - aretin a' much improved state, from the ebmefbo before being havit*been well soaked and consolidated thus ensuring a mo re perf ec t rail wayae en ts, ballasted; in the first instance. " It is satisfactory to report that ample stores of bal lasting, of a most excellent quality, have been found:along the line, several miles of which, between Tunbridge and Edenbridge, are already ballasted, and about three miles of permanent way laid, on which the locomotive engines of Messrs. Betts (the contractors for ballasting and lay ing the permanent way) are at work night and day, with the intention of completing, if possible, a line of perma nent Way from Tunbridge to Edenbridge—a distance of ten miles—by New Year's Day. " The tunnel at Bletchingley is completed, with the exception of its ends and entrances, and the whole will be completed and ready for the rails by Christmas ; by which time also, or the first week in January, I expect the ballasting and laying the permanent way will be commenced at the junction with the Brighton line, near Bed Hill. "From the experience we have now had of the per manent way, as regards the efficiency of the sleepers, chairs, and fastenings for the rails, I trust the Proprietors •Will have every reason to be satisfied with that important part of this railway, whether eansidered with regard to efficiency, first cost, or ultimate maintenance of way. "In consequence of the storms, high tides, and wet weather prevalent during the last month, various state ments were put forth in:the public papers relative to the effects of the raitt;and high 'tides upon different parts o r the coast, and which were set forth in such a way as t o induce the readers'to suppose that injury of sonic kind, or to some extent, had occurred to the works of th e ra il- P o a f n t i h e e d last b week to the by U your yourmeeting,therefore,to Chair citnisot have the 'storms, high tides, or heavy rains, injuriously I can most man,ance wit h devoted this e objects of this inquiry; commencing at Do ver and going , over every portion of the lino where works ar e i n pro gress, from thence to Red Hill at the junction with t h e ffeeling, nearly a t n h d e whole accom Brighton line. nn : q l n t ivo is ea t l l l; r s e t f l o tt r e e , tII w i that in much no sa o ti n s e fa the works of this railway; but (setti injuri ously affected ng aside the loss of time occasioned thereby) have in some instances been attended with advantage. " At Dover, it is true, the extraordina ry hi gh tides have interfered with the general Coast Line both east and west of the town, but not to a greater extent than has occurred at former periods ; and it is also true, that the late very heavy rains have acted upon the Chalk Cliffs so as to cause portions of .them to bill, b ut this, as regards the Shakspeare Cliff, Where.the falls have prin cipally occurred, has no interference with the Railway Works, as the Shakspeare Tunnel was driven through and at the back of that promontory for the very purpose. of avoiding such casualties. And, as regards the falls of chalk on the other parts of the Cliff c onnected with the works, non e h ave occurred but where the same was in course of being removed .in, trimmine. a . -‘own the Cliffs to a saf.3 slope, or where it has all along formed part of our plans to have it removed ; and in one case, the point or prolliontory of chalk between the west entrance Of the Shakspeare Tunnel and the commencement of the sea wall, I have had plans, sections, and estimates prepared for its removal for more than twelve months, and nothing bat the groat cost (from 8,0001. to 10,0001.) -combined with the hope and expectation that it would come down of itself . in time, and the circumstance of wanting ,the mein§ more in the Tunbridge division, deterred me from having it removed before this time. I a am happy, however, to find that my expectations as t o its coming down even without help are likely to be reit lized during the ensuing winter, and thu s a large expense saved, and the face of the cliff at that point rendered perfectly safe. it is also gratifying to me to be abl e t o state that our great work,' the sea well, which is in various states of progress iu different parts, has withstood all the storms and high tides, and without injury, an d already forms a most perfect security to the foot of the CHM against which it is built; both by protecting them from the action of the sea in front, and perfectly draining them (by means of culverts built in for that purpose) from the land and spring waters at the back ; besides the iraportant object for which it is being exe cuted, that of Forming a railway, 12 yards wide, at its top and withiu a parapet formed by the whole thickness of the wall." The CHAIRMAN said, before, he moved that the Report be received, he thought it desirable that he should make some comment upon the last paragraph but one, which spoke of unabated confidence in the soundness of the undertaking. Lest it should be supposed that those words were, like the Queen's Speech, a matter of course, he thought it desirable to state that the Direc tors' continued to feel the greatest confidence in the undertaking. Having for the last twelve or fourteen years been much connected with railways, he had gene rally found that the cost per mile had greatly exceeded the estimates. When he first became a Proprietor of this railway a statement was put forth that they would require a capital of 1,400,0001., with a power of borrowing 450,0001., thus making a capital of 1,850,0001. Every thing which had been done at present satisfied the Board that the estimates would prove to have been correct, or at all events would not vary more than 10 or 15 per cent. In great works of this kind it was necessary to allow such a margin. There were railways which, after being:estimated at two -millions, had cost • two millions and a half. In looking at fifteen different lines of rail way, he found five had cost from 20,0001. to 30,000/...-per mile ; two from 30,0001. to 40,000/. ; two from:40,0001. to 50,0001. ; and six from 50,0001. to 60,000/. Ale con-: fidently believed that the South Eastern and Dover line would come within list No. I.—(Hear.) In the course of the autumn he had met a very influential gentleman' at Derby, who was a proprietor in the York and North Midland Railway, and in the North Midland. On this gentlemen asking him whether his confidence in this railway continued, he referred to the fact that the shares in the former, which had cost about 26,0001. per mile were at a premium, whilst those in the latter, which had cn.“ 36,000/, were . at a discount.—(Hear, hear.) His confidence, therefore, in this line.continued to be un abated, and if it were not, he would candidly state it to the meeting. He would not trouble this meeting any further upon the subject, but would propose " that the Report of the Directors now read to the meeting be re ceived and adopted, and that the same, together with the Report of Mr. Cubitt, be circulated among the proprietors." The question having heen put that the Report be adopted, Mr. TYRRELL said, that before the Report was adopted, he wished to make a few observations. The accounts were made out in a very plausible manner; but he was of opinion that they ought to have been laid be fore the Proprietors in a more satisfactory manner. He found that 38,7021. had been stated as the value of cer tain shares. Now, he did not think that the shares could be put down at that price ;..and they might never receive that sum. They could come to no conclusion as to the amount of loss liable to be sustained upon the shares from the estimates then before them. Again, he found that there was a certain sum put down for the inspection of works. Might he ask who the inspectors were, and how the expenses had been incurred ? The CHAIRMAN could not state the details of those expenses, but he could assure the Hon. Gentleman that he had not received a farthing of the sum. The SECRETARY said that he would take an opportu nity of replying to the whole statement of Mr. Tyrrell at the same time, rather than answer detached questions. Mr. SMITH thought that it would be better to answer the question at once, not that he felt that any particular courtesy was due to Mr. Tyrrell. The SECRETARY said that if it were the wish of the meeting he should at once state that the half-yearly ex penses for inspection amounted to 143/. These were the travelling expenses of the Directors along the whole line, in their examination of the progress of the works. Mr. TYRRELL called upon Mr. Smith to explain, or to withdraw certain expressions which he had used. Mr. SMITH said that he had stated that the meeting and the Company owed nothing to Mr. Tyrrell indi vidually, but at the same time, he felt that he should be treated with all due courtesy, and that his questions should be answered. Mr. TYRRELL wished to ask next, what was the salary paid to the Secretary? The CHAIRMAN would put it to the meeting,. whether the question should be answered.—(No, no.) He thought it would be invidious to call upon the Directors, to name the salary of the Secretary individually. Mr. TYRRELL wished that the salary should be stated. —(Hisses.) The CHAIRMAN then put the question that the Di rectors should inform the meeting of the amount of salary paid to the Secretary._ The motion was almost unanimously rejected. Mr. Tv - at:ELL said that as his questions were treated in that way he should make no further observation. The SECRETARY said, with respect to the accounts that had been submitted to the meeting, an allegation had been made that the Company had taken credit for a sum of 38,0001. as assets in the hands of the Proprietors. All he had to say with respect to that was, that if the Hon. Proprietor who had made that allegation had looked to the debit side of the account, he would have found that the Company were entitled to an equal sum per share on the credit side ofthe account.—(Hear.) Mr. PARSONS considered that it was unfair that the present Company should be censured for the course it had adopted in the management of its affairs, whereas it had, in that respect, set an example to other Com panies.—(Hear, hear.) As to the statement of the ac counts, he thought them most explicit.—(Hear, hear.) He felt obliged to Mr. Cubitt for his Report. He had some questions he wished to put to the Directors, espe cially as to the London-bridge station. The CHAIRMAN said, that with respect to the London bridge station there had been a good deal of discussion. He believed the cost of that would amount to about 170,0001, 85,000/. of which would be borne by each Company. Mr. "'Alison hoped there would be no extraordinary decorations in the station. The CHAIRMAN said there was a feeling among the persons who had the management of that department of the folly of decorations. Ile thought it was very likely the London-bridge station would altogether be a sepa rate matter from the other expenses of the Company. Mr. PARSONS wished to know whether any arrange ment had been made by the Directors to separate first and second class passengers as they were going to and from their seats? The CHAIRMAN was not prepared to give any answer upon the subject. Mr. PARSONS understood that there was only about six miles of the work unlet. Mr. CUBITT observed that the works might be said to be let all the way to Dover, with the exception of about five miles. The CHAIRMAN, in answer to a question from Mr. Parsons, with respect to the permanent way, stated that the Directors were perfectly satisfied that the plan they had adopted with respect to, it was the best they could pursue. He was glad to see a gentleman present who, he thought, would give a similar opinion, and whose judgment he had no doubt would have great weight with the proprietors. Mr. BETTS expressed his entire confidence in the mode adopted on the railway, both with respect to the sleepers and chairs. They exceeded anything he ever saw. The road, which was finished, was three miles, and it had been worked over for the last two months, and he should say that nearly one hundred thousand tons had been conveyed over the rail, and this must lfavp proved the quality of that road, especially considering the bad wea ther; and if there had been any tendency to give way this weather would.have proved it. They had examined the sleepers to prove „„whether they had sunk from the effects of that bad weather, and they found they had not sunk at all.—(Hear, hear.) He had expressed his con viction that this was the, best road which ever had been put down.— (Cries of " Hear, hear.") He was fully con , vineed that this road would not cost 30,0001. per mile, and that future railways would all adopt their plans. The materials were of the best quality he had ever seen. His conviction was, that the present sleepers would be undisturbed for 30 years, and he did not think that any other railway company in the kingdom could say the same. The CHAIRMAN said Mr. Betts was the successor to Mr. Mackintosh, and he was sure they could rely on his statement. After that statement, he (the Chairman) thought the anonymous letter, or letters, Which appeared in the papers, would no longer be any subject for com ment, nor was it his intention to have done so, but that some Proprietors might have felt some dissatisfaction; and he thought he should not have been acting strictly correct towards them, had he not done so. He was exceedingly glad that Mr. Betts was present, as he had expressed an accurate opinion on the subject. Mr. BErrs again expressed his firm conviction that the sleeping road was the best that could possibly be adopted, and he felt convinced that the principle would be adopted on the railways throughout the kingdom. The CHAIRMAN said it must be very satisfactory to find that the South Eastern and Dover Railway was not so much behind the rest of the world. He was about to _putit to the Meeting that the Reports be adopted, when, -. ; Mr. LEYCOCK wished to ask whether or not the first portion of the railway was to be a joint property of both lines, or whether the Company would purchase their share from the Croydon Company, and, if so, whether the payment would be immediate or delayed, and bear interest ? The CHAIRMAN said he could hardly answer the que s . tion at present, but he thought the Company would not purchase the half of the line. Mr. ELLIOTT hoped that no exaggerated statements would go forth to the public, as he was one of those who believed that a great deal of mischief was done in this way. But he believed from the statements he gad heard made, that exaggeration had not been resorted to. He begged to ask whether additional capital would be re quired ? The CHAIRMAN said it was not in his power to answer that question. He hoped the statement that had been - - made would induce parties -possessed of money to come forward, and he, was sure-they would, after this meeting, look at that line of railway in a different light to what they had hitherto done. Mr. CUBITT said that perhaps the Chairman would allow him to answer the questions of Mr. Elliott. The cost of the engineeriag .department would be about 21.000/. per mile, and that department which did not belong to the engineer wou4l amount to about 6,0001. or 7,000/. more ; therefore th 4 'Chairman was right when he said the expenses would not exceed 30,000/. per mile, including the whole of the losses. Indeed, he (Mr. Cubitt) thought the expenses would be considerably below 30,0001. The works which had been' completed only averaged 22,0001. per mile, and that seas more than two-thirds of the whole .In reply to a question from a Proprietor;' The CHAIRMAN stated that the railway was 78 miles in length. Mr. CUDITT, in reply to a question from a Proprietor, stated that the sleepers were being liyanised upon the high-pressure principle ; and expressed his belief that it would have a most beneficial effectin preventing decay from vegetable - stllistances. The Cakiniirrn said, before the question' was put, he wished-tO tifefe* - iVords in reference to the loss of 184,0001. I‘3 - recollected that great benefit had resulted *Om the slow way in which they had proceeded. He believed that had they gone on as railways generally had done, both their preeOnt and future expenditure would have been much healier than they were likely to be under present circumstances. A PROPRIETOR made seine allusion to the manner of constructing the stations; Having lately been abroad and seen the way in which such things were done in other countries, he hoped the stations would be such as Englishmen might be _pedaul Of. He would rather re- CeiVe a fess dividend than sacrifice such an object.—(A laugh.) The CHAIRMAN was in favour of erecting temporary stations for one or two years. They might then, if they found themselves in a position to do so, erect stations of a more ornamental kind. The great evil in railways generally was, that expensive work had been constructed before they were opened, which might easily have been deferred to a subsequent period. The resolution for the adoption of the Report was then put to the meeting, and carried unanimously. Resolutions were then passed, declaring a great num• her of shares to be forfeited. The CHAIRMAN next put the following resolution : " That the Directors be, and re, hereby ordered an d directed to disp o se o f th e shares„the forfeiture of which had been confirmed at this meeting, in the manner di rected by the Act of Parliament, male and passed in the 6th William IV., incorporating the Company." Mr. HILLYARD thought that the sale of so many shares was a matter of very great importance. Every one was aware that one of the"princiPal causes of the depression of the affairs of the Company was the immense number of forfeited shares which were supposed to be hanging over the market. Now, in his opinion, the best mode of disposing of those shares would be to offer them, in the !lest instance, to the existing Proprietors, who had paid up the full amount of their calls. The SECRETARY said he believed such a step could not be taken. Mr. HILLYARD said, it seemed to him that if the Di rectors had the power of disposing of the shares by pri vate contract, they had a perfect right to enter into such a contract with their own Proprietors. That seemed to him a very rational mode of getting rid of those shares; and he believed that if the shares were so offered, they would all be absorbed. There was an instance in point It appeared that the Bristol and Exeter Company having also had a great number of forfeiture shares, it was proposed that they should be absorbed among the Proprietors, and he (Mr. Hillyard) understood that that course having been taken, the shares of the Company were in a very short time raised five per cent. in the market. He believed that a similar course, on the part of the Proprietors of the present Company, would be attended with similar success. Of course he would leave to the Proprietors to say at what price they should dis pose of the shares. He (Mr. Hillyard) would certainly be ready to take part of them for himself. The CHAIRMAN and several other gentlemen said that they should be ready to do so too. Mr. 11/LLvAnn thought that the shares should be ab sorbed among all the Proprietors, according to the amount of their previous payments. The CHAIRMAN felt obliged to Mr. Hillyard for his suggestion, and he would take care that it should be attended to. Mr. SMITH said it was his opinion that the shares for feited should be distributed and got rid of. It was the number of shares that was supposed to hang over the market that kept down the prices of them. For himself he 'should be glad to take five shares. - • The CHAIRMAN said that himself and his colleagues had been anxious to get rid of the shares as fast as they could. Mr. lithisAan wished to know whether there would Le any objection to such a resolution as the following : —" That before the Directors disposed of the forfeited share's, they should offer them to the present Share holders at certain prices." The CHAIRMAN thought it would be better to leave the Directors unfettered, as he was sure what had been stated by the Hon. Proprietor would have its weight with the Directors. Mr. lInnvARD was satisfied with the assurance of the the Chairman. He was sure that what ha had proposed was sound in principle, and would be good in o p era ti on . The CHAIRMAN had doubt if the proposition of the Hon. Proprietor was adopted, the forfeited shares would soon be disposed of ; but he would rather that it should be an open question. Mr. HILLYARD thought this was a matter where Pro prietors might interfere, without being thought they had any distrust in the Directors. The CHAIRMAN observed that, supposing any difficulty arose, it would be satisfactory to him to have this ques tion set at rest; but supposing any difficulty arose, might they not be shackled ? Mr. HILLYARD did not think any lawyer in West minster Hall could object to the proposition which he had made. He would draw up a resolution as to what he in tended, and submit it to the meeting. Mr. FIELD proposed a resolution to the effect—" That the present meeting, in consideration of the zealous and efficient co-operation of Mr. John Williams on the original formation of the Company, and heavy pecuniary sacrifices to which such exertions have exposed him, that 493 shares now forfeited be allotted to him without the payment of any future calls . that these shares be kept by the Company as security for the money lent to him ; and that the proceedings commenced by the Company should be stayed ; and that out of the proceeds of the shares the debt be paid." Mr. MARK seconded the proposition. Mr. SMITH thought theyhad not the power of pass ing so extraordinary a resolution. Mr. FIELD ,expressed a hope that the motion would not be passed over in silence. A PROPRIETOR said it seemed to him that this ques tion was quite an anomaly. The mover wished to lay out 12,0004 for the sake of receiving back 6,0001., and if that was the case, he (the Proprietor) did not see any advantage would arise to the Company—(A laugh)— and he therefore was quite prepared to hold up his hand against it, as self preservation was the first law of nature, and he thought they ought to take care of themselves. The CHAIRMAN said he was not able to speak to the subject, although he was a Proprietor at the time. Had he been able to have given any information on the sub ject, he should have been very glad. The Chairman was about to put the resolution, when Mr. FIELD said he should be glad to refer the question. The CHAIRMAN said he could not take upon himself that responsibility. The resolution was then put and lost. Mr. HILLYARD then proposed the following resolu tion:—" That if no legal objection exists to such a course, the Directors be requested to offer the forfeited shares pro rata, to such existing Proprietors as have paid up their calls in full at the time such offer is made at such price as the Directors may determine." Mr. ROY seconded the motion. Mr. SMITH said he was so satisfied with the Whole conduct of the Directors that lie should be sorry to do anything which might have the appearance of dictatin g heshould be left perfectl y f ree. thought an thought he had obviated that difficulty r by leavi f ng it to the Directors to fix the price. A PROPRIETOR observed, that if the resolution were carried; the Directors should he directed to offer the shares at a certain price, otherwise he thought they wo uld be placed in a very awk war d position. - The SECRETARY said there was this practical objec tion, that by limiting purchases to the Proprietors they i l ed ll sh th oul ou d g h h a t v t e h as e p w r o ie u t l o d r l s im w i h t o t s h e e s m ha a r r e k s et w ; e vi re h f e o r r e f as e tt a iho m ellni r a r; rrs.ikhfHeattiiriu;yph:voaße HILLYARD i en b sop l a e ac wPiro'de dgthethelt t Proprietors me xaoc vt eaany hwyahst such had cnha er roforfeitedenasrid that hr aa t w h a e s d a e l e l t l t v .i h n i e e h thatthey t h c e y o u N l v d e reex to be ol controlled d notth the admit expect. t co n n e tro c l ma nagement of their own affairs, by deference to those who had brought them into embarrassment, by not per forming the undertaking which they had entered into. The CHAIRMAN said he was aware of that, but he for one was quite prepared to bear the responsibility. Mr. FIELD doubted whether it would be advisable to press any resolution at present on the subject of the sale of the shares. The CILURMAN said that he could feel no objection to the resolution proposed by Mr. Hillyard. He had no doubt but the Proprietors would purchase up the entire . of the forfeited shares. Mr. SMITH said that if the Directors had no objection to the reiolution, he should of course withdraw his amend ment. Mr. HILLYARD said he believed that the immediate effect of the resolution would be to raise the value o shares ; and, besides, they wanted to get immediate pos session, not merely of the shares, but of the money for which they would sell, for the purpose of carrying on the undertaking. If the Proprietors did not take up th e entire number of the shares they wou l d still have the public market open to them. By passing the resoluti on they would show the public that they . were themselves of opinion that the undertaking was likely to be a pro fitable one. The original motion was then put by the CHAIRMAN an d agreed to, as well as the resolution of Mr. Hill yard, the amendment of Mr. Smith having been with drawn. The motion was then put and agreed to. Mr. FIELD thanked the Proprietors for the kind reso lution they had come to. They might go home with the consciousness that they had relieved an excellent individual from a weight which pressed upon him very painfully.-Alfear, hear) . • Mr. LEYCOGK wished to ask the Chairman, before the meeting separated, wlqether the Proprietors had heard anything of a determination on the part of the French Government to commence a line of railway between Ca lais and Paris. Such a work i if completed, would mate rially improve the affairs of the Company. The CHAIRMAN said, that the affair had been mooted by the French Government,' and he was convinced that the project would ultimately becarriedout. The question was, in his opinion, one merely oftime ; but the project was not in a sufficiently' "forward state to have justified the Directors in bringing it before the meeting. He had lately happened to have met at Dover the Chairman of a Company in the North, and the ex-Chairman of the South-Western Company; and it was certainly no little sub j ect of triumph to him to:find such gentlemen on their way to France preferring the Dover line, even though one of them was so largely interested in the prosperity of a different line. But no doubt these gentlemen thought that a voyage of two or three hours was less disagreeable than one of twelve or thirteen hours.—{Hear.) Mr. LEYCOCK wished to know whether the Directors had come to any determination to establish branch lines to Canterbury, Margate, and other towns in the - vicinity of the main line ? " The CHAIRMAN said that no determination had yet been come to on the subject. But that also appeared to him to be a question of time; and the Proprietors might depend upon it that as soon as the Directors found they ha&the neeessary funds they would carry out the project referred to. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman for his services to the Company, and the Chairman having returned thanks, the meeting separated. BRITISH IRON COMPANY. A meeting of the Proprietors of this Company took place yesterday at the Company's office, Broad-street,'City,. for the purpose of taking a ballot with respect to the re solutions proposed by Captain Richardson, at the meeting lately held at the London Tavern. Our reporter on ap plying- for admission was told that the meeting was strictly private, and that no person from the press would, therefore, be allowed to attend. • BANK OF ENGLAND. The reports which have prevailed for the last week past, that the Bank of England was about to raise the rate of interest to Six per Cent., has been entirely contradicted by the following no tice, which was posted at the Bank of England : " The Governor and Company of the Bank of England are ready, until further notice, to re ceive applications for loans upon the deposit of approved Bills of Exchange not having more than six months to run, Exchequer Bills, and East India Bonds ; such loans to be repaid on or before the 14th January next, with interest at the rate of Five per Cent. per annum, and to be for sums of not less than 2,0007, each. cc Bank of England, Nov. 26, 1841." 1 LIGHTING OFT TURNPIKE ROADS. PARISH OF TOTTENHAM. A meeting of the ratepayers within 400 yards on each side of the turnpike road leading from Stamford-hill to Edmonton was held in the Grammar-schOol at the High cross in this parish last evening. Mr. G. E. Shuttle worth was unanimously called to the Chair. The CHAIRMAN briefly described the object for which they had assembled, and read the requisition, which had been prepared by Counsel, the substance of which he had put in the form of a resolution. On a division the numbers Nsere-100 for the lighting, and 17 against it. Messrs. Fowler, Fox, Dean, Boon, IV. B. Nunnings, and Thomas Ashwell were then elected inspectors for the year. The CHAIRMAN having produced an estimate of the probable cost of lighting the 59 lamps heretofore lighted. by the Commissioners of the Turnpike Roads for one year, and having also stated the probable amount of the rate for the district in question, It was moved, seconded, and carried, " That the amount to be raised should be 3601., which would be produced by a rate of 41d. in the pound upon houses, and lid. in the pound upon land." The CHAIRMAN stated that about 94 small tenements assessed below 101., and producing at the above rate about 17/. per annum, would be met, he had every reason to believe, by voluntary payments from gentlemen residing beyond the limits of the district in question, and which he had no doubt the inspectors would apply in discharge of those rates. Hence, he observed, that the only ob jection raised to the adoption of the 3d and 4th William IV., c. 90, would be obviated in a way equally gratifying to all parties. Thanks were then unanimously voted to the Chairman for the very able manner in which he had conducted the business of the evening. This was perhaps the largest meeting of influential persons ever known in this parish. As the Act of Par liament requires the inspectors to do certain acts, some days must elapse before the lighting can take place. HONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. POST.--To judge from the well-concerted statements we meet with in some of the newspapers, and which may, we presume, be regarded in the light of feelers, the Lombard-street houses are desirous of negotiating for the temporary use of the moneys periodically paid into the Bank en account of the Exchequer. The more rapid and imperative mode of getting in the public re venue alluded to by our Contemporaries a , r a e s n at ow ti m in es °P s e o -e ration, aggravates beyond all question, and this in a partially material degree, if indeed it does not occasion, th Such and in o j r urio e u n s tirely are alike sudden pressures for money which grievously felt and' so loudly complained of. LI e inc n ins c it e eidn:g they tr h exercise upon the unreasonably prejudiced by tuf p hrn r oe e fmma s i s , rubrt but tsne, it c il l :1 s t. : il l esi i e pe s t o h ni e nit r finh : , . shopkeepers and other retailers,pn commerce of the country. minor class of traders, including com munity at large . i e mercantile comparatively unknow that thy bear with the anio r n t g ies oa o p f ita t l h is i t s s s a t n a d ndi most ruinous severity. bankers, ng are so that when the n adverse season sets in, they have no alternative but to have is recourse to the usu rer , w h o i s i n a situation t o make h cent., own terms, and, be thos e t erms 10, 15, or 20, per _ they must be p a ti en tly, if no t even thankfully, submitted to. Th e B an k h as not , we believe, demanded more than 5 per cent. for accommo dation sinc e th e year 18 39, yet there inter val,haveintlie be en many pe ri o d s when Bank notes I ' vere n ot pro curable for ordinary : discounts, and when the bankers Were driven to the Bank of England for at their an issue rate of 5 per cent., exacting any advance on that rate which the assistance . required by the mercantile classes might justify. Fr 01 4 .6 to 7 per cent. has been not un commonly demanded and given. It must be apparent to every one that the yeriodical accumulation in the hands of th e Bank of 'England of millions of the present necessarily contracted amount of circulation, while the surplus bullion of the Bank does not exceed four or five millions, cannot but- bc - produc----- tive of great derangements in the Money Market. The only remedy for such a state of things is for the Bank to lend out the public moneys accumulated to trustworthy persons at a rate of interest somewhat below that at which they make their ordinary advances preparatory to the close of the financial quarter. The object would thus be attained ; but the jealousy the Directors would have to encounter, and the difficulty of making pre ferences that might be most consonant with the general interest, form what many may think an almost insuper able barrier to the successful adoption of any expedient of that nature. The Lombard-street houses feel, we dare say, the awk wardness of the matter ; but the suggestion made by them through their particular organs, may possibly be improved upon ; for it is certainly one that is entitled t o the attention of the public. TIMES.—One remark made in the city on Lord Mont_ eagle's official netices respecting Exchequer bills is worth repeating, which is, that though he informs the public of the amount of bills stamped as genuine he says nothing of those impounded as spurious. At his own proper whenever that may be, this is a point which should also be made known officially. We are desired to state, in reference to a paragr a ph i n an evening paper, in which is announced, on the autho rity of letters from Kendal, the. failure of a b an k there, and " which has hith e rt o been considered very wealthy, " that with respect to the two banks whi c h would swer this description, viz., that of Wakefield, Crewdson, Co., Who keep their London account with Messrs. Masterman and Co., and the Bank of Westmoreland, who keep their account with Messrs. Glyn A n and t h ere Co., can not be, it is supposed, the least foundati on f or this state ment, since neither of the London b an ki ng -houses re ferred to have any information on the subject ; but, on the contrary, c onsider them to be removed from any danger of that kind. The above are the only two banks in the town Of Kendal.
