A Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held yesterday at the King's cross station ; Col. Packe, M.P., in the chair. Mr. Oakley, the secretary, read the notice con vening the meeting for the consideration of five bills now before Parliament. The CHAIRMAN said he was glad they had very few bills to submit. They were, in fact, for the purpose of enabling the company to complete ar rangements that had already been entered into, and which had received the approval of the shareholders At former meetings of the company. The first bill he had to submit was a bill to transfer to the Great Northern Company the undertakings of the Edg ' ware, Highgate, and London, and the Watford and Edgware Junction Railway Companies, and to ex tend the time for the construction of the last-named railway. The object of the bill was to obtain addi tional powers to carry into effect the agreement made with those companies, and to vest the under takings in the Great Northern Company. The divi dend on the ordinary stock of the Edgware and Highgate Company from the opening of the main line was for the first year to be at the rate of two sevenths of the dividend declared on the Great Northern ordinary stock, rising one-seventh per annum until the fourth year, and therefore to the rate of eleven-fourteenths of such dividend, until an exchange of stock be effected at the rate of £7B 10s. of Great Northern for every £lOO of Edgware and Highgate stock. Mr. LEECH, the solicitor, read the heads of a bill which also authorised a. deviation of the branch line to Barnet in order to afford better access to that town, and also extended the time for the construc tion of the Watford and Edgware Railway until the 31st of July, 1871. It authorised the company to construct a bridge over the Regent's Canal to faci litate the transit of coal to and from the works of the Imperial Gas Company, and to raise £75,000 of additional capital with the usual borrowing powers of £25,000. The CHAIRMAN, in moving a formal resolution ap proving the bill, s t a t e d th a t a contract had been entered into for th e supp ly of 100,000 tons of coal per annum to tho se wor k s for five years, the tolls from which would cover the cost of the bridge. Mr. HUGHES said he was opposed to any further , extensions whatever, and in his opinion there was not the slightest justification for those extensions. There was no population to serve, and the outlay would entail a loss. He concluded by moving an amendment to the effect that the proposed bill be not assented to by the present meeting. Mr. VILLEBQISNET was decidedly opposed to any further extension ; he thought the dividend of such a line as the Highgate should be limited to a fixed 2 or 3 per cent., and not to take any proportion of the general dividend. Mr. TUCKETT and other shareholders also opposed any further extensions or guarantees, suggesting that the bill should be withdrawn. The CHAIRMAN explained that the directors had limited the liabilities in respect of those bills, so as to require as little money as possible. Mr. ASTELL, a director, said they were bound to carry out their arrangements with other companies. The SOLICITOR stated, in reply to a question, that £54,507 stock was represented by the shareholders at that meeting, and £139,932 stock was held by the directors alone. On a show of hands Mr. Hughes's amendment was carried by 16 against 11. A poll was demanded and Mr. Astell and Mr. Wood were appointed scru tineers. The result, after some delay, was announced to the effect that proprietors representing £20,290 stock in favour of the amendment, and proprietors present representing £106,969 stock, and proxies representing £604,656 stock, together £711,625 stock, were recorded as approving the bill. The amendment was therefore lost, and the mo tion approving the bill was carried. A bill to confirm certain agreements between the Midland Railway Company and the Great Northern on the one hand and the Midland and Eastern, the Norwich and Spalding, and the Stamfcrd and Essendine Railway Companies on the other hand was submitted. The object was to enable the Great Northern and Midland Companies to work the railways between Bourne and Lynn in perpetuity, and to retain 50 per cent. of the gross receipts arising therefrom, the other moiety (being not less than £15,000 per annum) was to be paid to the owning companies. On the motion for the ap proval of the bill 11 hands were held up in favour of it and 13 against it. A poll was demanded. The next bill was to repeal the West Riding and Grimsby Railway (Extension) Act, 1865, and to make fur ther provision with respect to the station at Wake field. The chief object was to enable the Great Northern and Manchester and Sheffield Companies to subscribe £20,000 each to improve the station at The next was a bill to enable the Halifax and Ovenden Junction R tilway Company to vary the line of their railway and to increase their capital, and to enable the Lancashire and Yorkshire and Great Northern Companies to subscribe £30,000 each. On a show of hands 9 were in favour of the bill and 15 against it, and a poll wasdemanded. The result of the poll in respect of the four resolutions was that 10 persons present representing £110,847 stock, and 93 proxies, representing £606,074 stock, together £716,921, were in favour of the resolutions approving the bills ; and three persons present re presenting £15,560 stock against them, leaving a majority of seven persons present, representing £606,074 stock—total, £701,361 stock, in favour of the resolutions approving the bills. The proceedings then terminated. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST. A meeting of shareholders in this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern with a view to prevent the making of any further extension lines, and the consequent outlay of further capital. Sir Charles Jackson was unanimously requested to take the chair. The notice convening the meeting having been read; The CrlitiamArt_said that this preliminary meet ing had been called for the purpose of devising means to prevent the further outlay of capital, and to induce the shareholders to adopt a decided course of action for the protection of their property. He would chiefly confine his observations to the propo sal of the directors on the- 16th inst. to take over three other railway undertakings—the West Sussex Junction, the Chichester and Midhurst, and the Surrey and Sussex Junction Railways. He did not suppose that the first mentioned line was a very heavy matter. The Surrey and Sussex Bill pro- .• posed to raise additional capital of £1,380,000, to wards which £244,000 had been subscribed, leaving £1,135,000; the capital of the Chichester and Mid burst was £411,000, of which £35,200 had been subscribed, leaving £375,000, and the West Sussex a capital of £333,200, of which £lO,OOO had been subscribed, leaving much more than £1,000,000 of additional capital to be raised for those under takings. In November last the directors assured the shareholders that, with the exception of the out lay of a very small sum, the directors would not promote any new line ; but they now asked them to sanction the taking over of three new lines he had mentioned. They were told that the Surrey and Sussex Junction was not a new scheme, yet he considered the scheme now proposed in reference to it was entirely new. They were told in the 11th paragraph of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Report of July, 1865, that the Surrey and Sussex line was promoted by an independent com pany, and intended to run from a point one mile south of Croydon to Tunbridge Wells, and that the directors, feeling that it was a useful scheme, had entered into a working arrangement with that com pany. In the following April the shareholders were asked to approve a subscription to that line in order to forward the works. Every one supposed that the line was promoted by an independent company, but it subsequently appeared that the Brighton company would have to subectibe the whole of the capital for that line. At the next meeting they were told that the Surrey and Sussex would give the company a third line to Brighton. He thought the shareholders were not bound in ary way to take over that line, which he did not suppose would be a paying line. (No, no.) The Chichester and Midhurst certainly would not pay, neither would the other. The Surrey and the Sussex would be a competing line, would be the fifth line totunbridge-wells, and render their own line from the Three Bridges to Tunbridge-wells almost worthless. It was proposed not only to take over those three undertakings, but all their liabilities, unless the shareholders could put a stop to it. It was proposed to take over those lines at par. He feared that the directors were inte rested in those lines, that they were directors' lines, and that they wanted the company to invest their money in them. The company had better have nothing to do with those lines, because if they did they would find it a very costly matter to abandon them, should that course be deemed expedient. They would be opposed by the landowners, and have not only to pay a large amount of compensation, but pro bably 150 a day in perpetuity. The Kemp Town Extension at Brighton would be no convenience to the public, and would cost £200,000. There was the Ouse Valley line, one half of which was to be aban doned ; and there were other lines equally useless that ought never to have been made. In 1857 the capital of the company amounted to £7,797,000, but at the end of 1866 it amounted to .£16,462,191, . , showing au increase of 111 per cent. in capital, while the revenue in 1857 amounted to £446,000, and in the past half-year to £503,060, showing an increase of only £76,420, or only 17 per cent. and a fraction. He contended that the 2 per cent. for the past half year had not been earned. There were many items charged against capital that ought to have been charged against revenue ; £84,000 was charged to capital for interest on unproductive capital, and £20,425 for fighting in Parliament against the new Brighton line was also charged to capital. They had charged £91,000 for new locomotive engines to capital, and nothing to revenue for renewing old ones. In that way they made a dividend. A large amount of the preference capital was being placed at 90 per cent., and some, he. was told, at 88; so that out of £1,000,000 issued the company would not receive more than £900,000. He estimated that ,he traffic for the present year would not exceed £1,270,000, and that the working, &c., expenses would be about £727,000, leaving £543,000 surplus revenue ; and as the preference charges would be £519,996, he supposed the company would not have more than £23,000 for ordinary dividend. So there was encouragement to take over new lines, and they must stop everything in the shape of capital expenditure. They must, in fact, speedily decide on a mode of action to stop those people who now had the management of their affairs. He had been informed that some large shareholders had recently met the directors, and after some conversation rushed out of the room, and soon after the price of the shares dropped considerably. (Cheers.) Col. MILLER, M.l'., said that, under the circum , stances, the directors had not anything tempting to offer. The shareholders must be aware of the neces sity of the case, and those who called the present meeting were justified in so doing. He had felt it his duty to protest against the policy of the directors. (Hear.) He then adverted to the large increase of the capital in the past ten years, and the very small in crease of revenue in proportion to the large increase of capital. That, he thought, was enough to con vince directors as well as shareholders that the policy of railway extension in that direction was a wrong one. The constitution of railway boards was very imperfect; they seemed to be very much influenced in their proceedings by engineers, lawyers, secre taries, and other persons ; and thus often lost sight of the commercial principle which ought to guide them. The bit-by-bit legislation had done immense injury to railway property, instead of deal ing with it in a comprehensive mauner, and sanc tioning lines that would not only be valuable to the country but profitable to the shareholders. (Hear.) He then adverted to the unprofitable nature of some of the lines constructed by the company, and stated that if the company went on in its present cont..° they would soon arrive at a point when there would not be a penny of dividend for the ordinary capital. He concluded by moving a resolution to the effect Mr. J. T. MACKENZIE seconded the motion. Ile thought they should have business men on the Board who would protect their property in future ; ')vho Would refrain from insane rivalry, and endea votc to improve the property. The Surrey and Sus stx Junction would, no doubt, do very well for soli eito7s, contractors, and engineers, but would be most injurlons to the company. The shareholders must stop these gentlemen, and protect the Froperty. He need only mention that the conduct of the South-Eastern and the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Companies towards each other had been disgraceful in the extreme. They had been going on with reckless indifference as to the effect it would have on the property of the shareholders. In that way they had wasted between them £10,0u0,000, and would besides commit themselves to as much more, unless the proprietors now inter vened to prevent them. The only salvation for both lines was a cordial alliance, and an endeavour on both sides to serve each other honestly. By this course they would save more than £lOO,OOO a year in working expenses alone. They might then go jointly to Parliament for the abandonment of-all the useless lines they were now empowered to make. They had now an excellent property if it. were pro perly managed, and that was what the shareholders should insist upon. He held a very large stake in the undertaking, and he had but one interest to serve, in which all independent shareholders must coincide—•the sole object being to protect and im prove the property. (Hear.) Mr. F. WILSON said he was prepared to state that the directors would not oppose the appointment of a committee, if the object was not hostile to them, and for improvement of the property. They were prepared to meet them in a friendly spirit, and to consider the propriety of abandoning certain lines. He said that Mr. Lawrie, the chairman, had resigned. He then moved a resolution to the effect that a committee of large independent shareholders be ap pointed to meet the directors in a friendly spirit, and consult with them as to what should be done for the benefit of the undertaking. • Mr. GOEZ cautioned the shareholders not to be led away from the great object they had in view. They should elect their own men, otherwise they would be defeated, and the vicious, bad system would be con tinued. Mr. FIELDER proposed a resolution to the effect that the meeting viewed with great satisfaction the desire of the directors to have a full inquiry by in dependent large shareholders, and that the meeting pledged itself that the desire of the directors should be carried out at the next meeting. Mr. ADAMS seconded the amendment. After some observations from Mr. COHEN the amendment was rejected, and the original motion was carried unanimously. Sir C. Jackson, Col. Miller, M.P., Mr. H. Goes, and Mr. Mackenzie were appointed a committee, with power to add to their number. A resolution was unanimously passed, requesting the shareholders to rescind the proxies given to the directors. The proceedings concluded with a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman for his able conduct in pre siding, and three cheers for Sir C. Jackson. GERMANY AFTER THE WAR OF 1863. (From the Westnzinster Gazette.) We do not care to gainsay our illustrious author, if he only seeks to cherish the hope that Prussia, at a nearer or more distant day, may re turn to the paths which she has forsaken, of the Divine law and of historic right; it is enough for us to expose, and by the aid of our author's own testimony, to prove unanswerably that such return is at the present moment absolutely impos sible, that the establishment now of a new and stable order of things, in union with Prussia, is a contradiction in terms. The impossibility, very clear in itself, becomes still more apparent upon casting a glance at the history of Prussia, where we shall see the black colour we have before spoken of almost always predominating. Let us even question those who give the tone to this Prusso-mania ; their writings and speeches bristle with the proofs, that almost all that has ever been done in Prussia was but the preparation and the paving the way for the events that have just occurred. The works of Knopp, too, which the Prusso-maniacs cannot read with patience, agree in the main with their own representations, with this difference, that in the one what honest folks reprove as wrong, in the other is considered right, because springing from an historical ne cessity. But laying aside books, how, we may ask, could the idea of the Prusso-mania that dominates at present have at once carried away all parties; were not the minds of all parties peculiarly suscep tible to, and prepared for ifs reception ? Was not Prussia from of old ever given to violence and rapa city, to haughtiness and malicious intrigue ? Was she not devoid of poesy, of Christian chivalry, of nobility and genuine heroism ? How is it to be explained that these un-Christian and un-German qualities have from time immemorial been re garded, in the language of the German people, as synonymous with Prussian habits and manners ? On the exhibition of such defects, who has not over and over again heard the exclamation, " how truly Prussian ?" How old is the custom in Ger many of altering the Prussian motto, " suum cuique tribue," by substituting the word " rape " for the word " tribue," of describing the Pilla r sian eagle as the bird of prey, of calling it a cuckoo, because of its custom of laying its eggs in other birds' nests, and of styling crafty plots Prussian tricks? We must have recourse to her most learned antiquarians to discover, if possible, the period when these popular views first sprang up in Germany. Are these, perchance, mere out breaks of rancour and bitterness ? They meet us in and out of Prussia ; they reach our ears wherever the German tongue is heard, in all innocence, often even in the merriest moods. Verily, the language of the people has, like history, its own tribunal. But such judgments must not be made univer sal ; exceptions must be acknowledged ; and we cheerfully recognize the existence of such excep tions, and especially those fine and noble races whose territory the Prussian State has long since annexed. These censures refer alone—and on this too great stress cannot be laid—to the specific and dominant" Prussianry." This " Prussianry," in deed, has, in its way, no parallel in all Europe. Beyond the bounds of ancient Germany it has its roots in the lands of some Sclavonic neighbours, a portion of whom, millions in number, tc) this day live in the midst of their German conquerors ; while another portion, intermarrying with these— a not very happy mixture—has begotten a mon grel kind of race. Here grew and throve this singular rapacious military State, drawing its strength, not from the warlike spirit of its people, but from a most cruel military conscription. As its origin was in usurpation, so also was its growth. Hence that indelible stamp on the Prussian army (in spite of the fine elements it now possesses) of a frigid jo y l ess discipline, com bined with a certain rude arrogan ce ; ,hence that want of cheerful, soldier-like cordiality and brotherhood, of chivalrous gallantry, andrabon all, of a high feeling for its sacred calling of com bating for right, of protecting the weak, of re straining the wrong-doer virtues which even heathenism inseparably attached to the idea of a hero. Had the heroes of heathenism—celebrated in song—but heard of such deeds of rapine as have of late been perpetrated in Bohemia and Moravia, in saxony. and lianoyer, in He mid The influence of not a few .statesmen and generals in the Prussi an service, who were not Prussians by birth, as. Stein, Blucher, Gneisensu, (Moltke, too, the present chief of the Prussian army, is no Prussian.) Nevertheless, Prussianiszn played an important, part in the years 1848-49 in. Frankfort, and aNerwards in Erfurt, until it wa s defeated at OlmiLtz. Nevertheless it was Prussi anism that conferred upon Frederick William W what he termed a " highly valued claim." Since then the Beriin Chambers have sympathised with the Italian, spoliators. Vincke, one of the chief leaders t:tzere, is pre-eminent for this. He is said to be a personal friend of the Italian King, that prince of the Masonic Lodges in which Bishop Ketteler sees the cradle and the school of Prussi an;sm! Where, then, can one find a reasonable ground for the painful astonishment he ex presses, that the rottenness that had penetrated everywhere else had reached the green wood?

On Monday the inspection was confined to putting the troops through the great gun drill in the Central Battery, visiting the barracks, schools, hospital, the new fortifications, and inspecting the battery books. On Tuesday the inspection was resumed. The General arrived on the parade-ground about half-past 12, and was received by the division, numbering nearly 400 officers and men, with the usual salute. The troops then marched past in slow and quick time, after which they were drawn up into line, and their arms and accoutrements were examined. This over, the manual and platoon exercise and a number of bat talion movempts were executed, under the com mand of Col. Crofton, the Commandant of the bri gade. The inspection was closed about 2 o'clock, when Gen. Taylor, addressing the troops, compli mented them upon the efficient manner in which they had gone through their drill, spoke in eulo gistic terms of the clean and orderly appearance of the barracks, and expressed himself as highly satis fied with the result of the inspection.

Consequently, much dissatisfaction has arisen between the civil and military corps on the superiority of privilege. For some time past, Mr. Carnelly, the chief inspector of police there, has 1 been apprised that a system of pilfering of stores has been discovered by the authorities, and orders were given for renewed caution on behalf of the police. At 8 o'clock on Sunday morning Detective sergeant Randall had his suspicions aroused by the appearance of a girl carrying a box to the rail way station. He accosted her, and asked her what was the contents. The girl gave her name as Sarah Cattaway, residing at Billericay, in Essex. He found in her possession 16 paraffin candles, Govern ment property. She was immediately arrested, and from further information the house of a labourer named John Farr was searched, where were found 205 stearine candles, 111 paraffin ditto, 75 mould ditto, and 251 b. of soap. Farr said he had received them from Lance-corporal Cardigan (late of the Ist Dragoons), of the Military Store Staff Corps, with whom he was employed in the stores. On making a search at the lodgings of Cardigan, the police dis covered 131 stearine, 133 mould, 188 paraffin can dles, and 421 b. of soap. Cardigan having got in formation of the affair immediately absconded, but he was apprehended yesterday morning at six while in bed at No. 92, St. John-street, St. Luke's, and was brought before the police-magistrate sitting at Woolwich. He was remanded. _ . _ The departure of the armoured screw frigate Royal Alfred, 18, Capt. F. A.
