The CHAIRMAN explained that the subsidy pre viously paid was for the section of the line open for traffic, but this was the first time the directors had to deal with subsidy for the whole line. The subsidy was 5 1-12 per cent., of which one-twelfth per cent. went to a sinking fund, and 5 per cent, was paid in respect of the capital expended. The money paid by the Government during construction for interest on capital would be entitled to simple in terest at 4 per cent. per annum on its amount. When the dividend from the subsidy and the profits of the line together exceeded 6 per cent. on the capital, the surplus profits would be divided between the company and the Government until the whole of the interest advanced during construction was paid off. The interest paid during construction amounted to about £150,000, and bore interest at 4 per cent. per annum. The ballot was then proceeded with for the re demption of 22 shares at par, in pursuance of article 10 of the concession and of section 7 of the articles of association ; and the numbers of the 22 shares having been accordingly drawn, the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. After a stormy discussion the amendment was all but unanimously carried,,amt Tote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. 'J... -1 Conductor, Slr. P. Jonghmsns. Private boxes, ins.

RAILWAY INfELLIGENC E. DUNABURG AND WITEPSK (LIMITED). An extraordinary general meeting of this com pany was held yesterday at the London Tavern— Mr. J. Smith, M.P., in the chair. Mr. clrodefroi, the secretary, having read the no tice convening the meeting, the report, an abstract of which appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the company had first commenced ope rations in June, and each six months ended in De cember and June, and to which the accounts had been made up half-yearly, but the subsidy was re ceived from the Russian Government in the months of April and October. It was thought by the direc tors much better not to keep a large balance in their hands for three months, but immediately after its receipt to call a meeting and declare the dividend. The subsidy bad been on this and former occasions most punctually paid by the Russian Government. The construction of the extension line continued to progress most favourably. Mr. Williams, the chief resident engineer, was present, and would give the shareholders any information respecting their line and works they might require. He had forwarded to the directors in July last a very satisfactory report as to the state of the line and works. It was thought ad visable to place some of the gentlemen abroad in something like the position of directors, by electing them to their office for three years, and at the end of that time to consider their re-election. The traffic receipts had continued to progress since the opening of the first section of the line, and in August last the traffic receipts amounted to 100,000 roubles, showing a gradualincrease in eight months of 41,000 roubles. They would derive an accession of traffic from the construction of the extension line from Witepsk to Orel. The Russian Company, who were Naval and Military Intelligence. VALETTA, Oct. B.—The Mediterranean squadron anchored at Spezzia on the 19th ult. On the 30th the steamer Lancefield arrived from Malta with provisions and stores. She had been placed in qua rantine for 15 days, but the Commander-in-Chief had represented the case, through her Britannic Majesty's Minister at Florence, to the Italian Go vernment, and probably some modification would be made in her favour, so that the squadron may get their supplies, of which they stand greatly in need. The Commander-in-Chief, accompanied by his secretary, left for Florence on the morning of the 2d, to wait upon King Victor Emmanuel. His Ita lian Majesty was to receive the Admiral on the 3d inst. at the Pitti Palace. The Prince Consort and the Royal Oak were to sail on the morning of the 3d for Marseilles and Gibraltar, en route to Lisbon, to join the flag of Rear-Admiral Warden, command ing the Channel squadron, for temporary service. It is uncertain how long they will be absent from the flag of Lord Clarence Paget. The Arethusa was to leave Spezzia on the 17th inst. for Malta, to refit, provision, &c., before proceeding to the Piraeus, to relieve the Racer. The Cruizer was also to leave on the same day for Malta, for the same purpose, be fore proceeding to the coast of Syria to relieve the Enterprise. The Racer and Enterprise will return to Malta. The Psyche was to leave for Villafranca on the morning of the 21 with de spatches and mails, and was to return to Spezzia with those due on the sth inst. If the cholera dis appears from Malta the squadron may be expected back here by the end of October. Her Majesty's paddlewheel frigate Terrible, 19, Capt. John E. Commerell, V.C., C. 8., arrived at Malta Sept. 30. She hoisted the quarantine flag on taking up her moorings in Bighi Bay, and proceeded on the let Oct. for Alexandria, without such communication with this island as would vitiate her clean bill of health. The renewed Comparative trials of speed over the measured mile of the double screw gunvessel Viper and the hydraulic gunvessel IVaterwitch were made over the measured mile in Stokes Bay, near Ports mouth, on Friday and Saturday last, under the supervision of Capt. W. C. Chamberlain, the officer commanding the steam reserve at Portsmouth ; Mr. Steil, the Admiralty inspecting officer of machinery; and Messrs. J. Ward and G. Murdoch, of the steam factory and reserve departments. The Viper made her trial on Friday, her draught of water being— forward, 9ft. 11in.; aft, 11ft. 10in.; mean draught, 10ft. 10iin. With full boiler power over six runs she realised a mean speed of 9.588 knots, and with half boiler power over four runs a mean speed of 7.625 knots. The Waterwitch made her trial on Saturday, her draught of water being 10ft. 7in. forward and lift. 2in. aft. Mean draught, 10ft. 10fin. With full boiler power over six runs she realised a mean speed of 9.299 knots, and with half boiler power over four runs a mean speed of 7.206 knots. The royal paddle yacht Osborne, Commander John D'Arcy, left Portsmouth yesterday morning for Dordt, for the service of the Prince and Princess of Wales, who are expected to return very shortly to England. Chief Inspector of Machinery John Ward has been promoted by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty from the office of First Assistant to the Chief Engineer of her Majesty's Dockyard and Steam Factory at Portsmouth to that of Chief Engineer of her Majesty's Dockyard and the Steam Factory De partment at Sheerness, vice Blaxland, retired. Mr. W. Lynne, who for some years has been Second As sistant to the Chief E ng ineer of Portsm ou th Dock yard and Steam Factory,has been appointed First As sistant to the Chief Engineer, vice J. Ward, promoted. Mr. Steil, Engineer Royal Navy, sou of Mr. J. S teil, the Admiralty Inspector of Steam Machinery, has been appointed by the Admiralty second assistant to the chief engineer of Portsmouth dockyard and steam factory, vice Lynn promoted. Lieut.-Ger. the Hon. Sir J. Y. Scarlett, K.C.8., officially inspected the Royal Horse Artillery and field batteries of Royal Artillery yesterday on Gil more-hill. The C, D, and E Batteries, C Brigade, formed up under command of Col. Wintle, at 10.30, and on the arrival of the General received him with the usual salute. Sir James then inspected the line, which was in open column, and the batteries then marched past at a walk, next filed past, and then galloped past from the reverse flank left in front. Several field movements ensued, and the Royal Horse were thoroughly tested in gun drill. At 11.45 the Royal Horse returned to quarters. Sir James afterwards inspected the C and II Field Batteries, which were formed in line of open column under Col. Elgee. After walking past and filing past, similar movements took place to those of the Royal Horse, and the troops arrived in b arrac k s a t on e o'clock. The General next proceeded to the quar ters occupied by the Royal Artillery, and inspected the men's dinners, and visited the stables, and saw the books of the troops. At the conclusion he ex pressed his entire satisfaction of the efficiency of this branch of the service. 'The following promotions and appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—Commandor N, B, When the machinations of the Feuians are caus ing so much uneasiness in English towns, it is not to be wondered at that similar feelings and appre hensions should be shared by the loyal inhabitants of some of those Irish towns which have already been the scene of rebellious demonstrations. Lat terly everything has been very quiet throughout the country, and Fenianism only cropped up in the occasional arrest of a suspected individual, or of some foolish fellow caught bawling seditious songs in his cups. Now, however, we hear of disquieting rumours from some places. In Drogheda it is cur rently rumoured that another Fenian rising is at hand, and that the banks are to be attacked at night on the occasion. Although there is not much cre dence given to the report, the officials have taken precautions to resist any raid that may be attempted. The police are under arms by night, and patrols perambulate the town regularly, in the same man ner they did immediately after the outbreak on the Gth of March. The feeling in the town is such that it is contemplated to memorialise the Lord Lieute nant to station a body of troops in Drogheda ' for the protection of the loyal and well disposed. `The police having some reason to suspect that a noto rious Fenian leader, known as " Colonel Leonard," was in the neighbourhood of the town, made an in spection a few days ago of the haggards, barns, and out-offices, as well as the dwellings of a few farmers residing about a mile northward of the borough, but failed to find the person they were in search of. It is generally believed that the " Colonel" was present at the rising in Drogheda in March last, and a remarkable circumstance con nected with him is, that only a short time ago he made his escape from the house of a professional gentleman in Drogheda, where, it was supposed, he had been concealed by the servants. On that occasion he was surprised by the proprietor of the house in one of the rooms. A policeman was sent for, but before he arrived Leonard had already made his escape, through a door leading from the garden to the street, of which he was provided with a key. The Cork papers state that on Thursday night the officers and men on board her Majesty's ship Mersey, now in Queenstown Harbour, were ordered to be ready for duty at a moment's notice ; and in the course of the night they were mustered on deck and put under arms. The cause of this extraordi nary step is not known, but doubtless it had some connection with Fenianism. The total with, society (1852) The total sale of Committee No. 1 of the Dublin Corporation has passed a resolution recommending the Council to grant a site on the south side of Carlisle Bridge for the erection of a marble statue to the memory of the late William Smith O'Brien. The resolution was passed by a majority, and it is likely, when brought under the consideration of the Council, to give rise to a very lively debate. The idea of erecting a public statue to Smith O'Brien is strongly combated by the Evening Mail and Saunders' News Letter, and I think would be generally condemned by the loyal inhabitants of Dublin. During the last few days the Earl of Rosso has rallied considerably, and up to last night continued slowly to improve, so much so that hopes are now entertained of his recovery. PROPOSED WORKING MEN'S =ERNA -7'IO.KIL EXHIBITION. Last evening a crowded public meeting was held in the Vestry Hall, St. Pancras, for the purpose of considering the best means of promoting a Working Men's International Exhibition in London. The chair was taken by the lion. A. Herbert. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said there bad been, as they were all aware, several ex hibitions among different nations by employers, and they now wished to see if they could not have a general international exhibition by working men. He thought he should fully express the feelings of the meeting when he said that they were extremely glad there had been exhibitions by employers. (Hear, hear.) It was very right that men who by their spirit and capital directed and organised the labour of working men should have an opportunity of competing with each other, but he thought it was now the time for the working men of different coun tries to be brought together to compete personally, one against the other. (Hear, hear.) In the pre sent day the historian of battles did not speak so much of the personal prowess of the men engaged as of what the generals in command did. It was not so of old, when Homer sung of the personal conflicts between warrior and warrior ; and so now, in the contest of industry, they wanted not to see the account of the battles of the employers, but those of the working men. (Hear, hear.) If they looked back to the middle ages they would find that labour was much more individualised than it now was. He instanced the case of Mr. Ruskin, when the Oxford Museum was building, getting the workmen who were carving the capitals of the columns to follow each his own fancy. The result was some very beautiful work, and the name of each workman was placed underneath his handicraft. He was quite sure that if labour was more indivi dualised it would be made a great pleasure to them. Labour to a man whose name went forth with his work became to him a joy, a pleasure, he might even say a poem. But there was a more solid benefit to be derived from individualising labour. Sub-division of labour had been carried to a great extent in this country, and he was not going to say a word against it, because in the present state of the world they could not compete without it ; but he could not conceal from himself that there was harm in it as well as good. He thought that some times they get perfect work by this sub-division of labour, whilst they sacrificed the workman himself. He thought that to a certain extent it impaired the general intelligence of the working classes ; and there could be no doubt that, with respect to some of the minute sub-divisions of labour, should taste or fashion change suddenly, the workman might be thrown out of employment, and suffer severely by the change. That was obviated in America by men learning the different branches of a business. There could be no doubt that exhibi tions like the one proposed made men acquainted with a great deal of work unconnected with their own special departments. He wished to call the attention of the meeting to the patent laws. He did not think the patent laws as they stood at present favourable to invention. (Hear, hear.) lie thought it possible that such an exhibition as that proposed might be of great use in that direction. Supposing the exhibition was successfully carried out, it would be quite possible hereafter to establish a standing museum which would give protection to any man who had invented an improvement and chosen to exhibit his invention in that museum. (Hear, hear.) The protection might be given to him for a period of 12 months, during which time he would have the advantage of exhibiting his invention, and at the end of that time he might either sell it or take out a patent. There was a similar protection given to industrial exhibitions, but he could not help thinking that from the proposed exhibition there might be established a permanent exhibition which would help inventors and protect them much more effec tually than they were helped or protected at present. (Hear, hear.) In wishing labour to be individualised as it was in France and in Italy, and to see a greater number of working men carrying on busi ness on their own account, he did not wish to say one word against the large firms of England.

The sales on this eligible building property have been very successful, and it is satisfactory to add that building operations are in active progress. The expecta tions of the committee that the Forest Gate Estate, from its close proximity to the station, and also to the Strat ford Junction, would prove a popular locality to meet the increasing demands for dwelling-houses in the eastern suburbs for all classes of the community, have been thus far realised. Additional portions of the Forest Gate Estate will be offered in duo course, the coetieued demolition of houses, owing to the extension of the Metropolitan It til way system, rendering the opening up of now districts within an easy distance of town an absolute necessity. Tho executive committee have boon so strongly im pressed with the importance of securing building land within the metropolitan range that they have successfully negotiated for the acquisition of another South London estate. When it is stated to the shareholders that it is Bolingbroke park, with its mansion and grounds, its ex tensive frontage to Wandsworth-common on the ono side, and frontage to Battersea-rise on the other, the whole being close to the Clapham Junction and Now Wandsworth Stations, it will be at once soon that a most eligible pur chase has been made for the society's purpose. So soon as the legal formalities have boon carried out the first portion will be duly allotted. The Executive Committee have nominated Mr. Pors6 Stace, public accountant, and Mr. Nownham Winstanloy, the two auditors on behalf of the board. The two candi dates to be elected by the shareholders at the present meeting are Mr. W. H. Clemow and Mr. James Goad, whose names have been duly advertised under rule 30. After this day's election the four auditors will meet in due course to examine, audit, and report as to the accounts and balance-sheet for the financial year ending September 30, 1867, to be presented at the annual meeting early in December next. The Executive Committee have heartily to congratulate the members on the happy auspices under which the 16th year of the Conservative Land Society has commenced. The auditors were duly elected, and votes of thanks passed unanimously. ROBBERY ON IHE NORTH EASTERN RAIL WAY. A robbery, which is unparalleled from its daring, and the manner it was effected, was perpetrated on Friday evening on the North Eastern Railway, within six miles of York. The 7 o'clock train from Malton, Scarborough, and Whitby, left York with the fortnight's pay of the company's officials on the Mahon and Whitby and Pickering branch. The money was enclosed in bags and paper parcels, the total amount being, it is said, between £2OO and £3OO, and entrusted to the care of John Livesy, guard, in his van, which was at the end of the train. The latter proceeded all right until it had arrived within the back signal, which is about 600 yards from the Strensall station on the Malton and Scar borough branch. The van then came to a dead stand, as the guard has himself explained, and on looking out of the window he found that the train had left him. He got out of the van and went about 100 yards towards Strensall station for the pur pose of giving a signal to the driver that the train might be brought back and the van attached to it. The money bags and parcels are stated to have been all safe when he left the van, but on returning to it, after he had given the signal, he saw the off-side door open, and dis covered that a portion of the money had been stolen, probably £l5O. When the van had been recoupled, and the train bad returned to Strensall, Livesy re ported the robbery to the station -master. Informa tion was given to the police, and inquiries were instituted, but neither the money nor the persons who had stolen it were discovered. The van had been uncoupled while the train was in motion—a dangerous feat on the part of any one, and an act which would never have been attempted by any person unaccustomed to the uncoupling of trains. The evening was particularly favourable for the commission of such a robbery, as a dense fog pre vailed at the time, and there was no light except in the van. On Saturday morning Mr. Hawker, the superintendent of police on the North Eastern Railway, made an investigation into the circum stances attending the affair, the result of which was that he took Livesy into: custody on suspicion of being connected with the robbery. The prisoner was subsequently brought before Mr. J. R. Walker (a magistrate of the North Riding, in which divi sion of the county the offence was committed), at York, when Mr. Hawker gave a short statement of the case. On the guard being asked if he had any thing to say why he should not be remanded, he stated that he was innocent, and that he did not know anything at all about the robbery. He also said he resided at Scarborough, and that he had been in the company's service since 1853. He was re manded until Wednesday. THE "LONDON REVIEW" ON MO, . I)Eti ii. WORSIIIP.—It is not comfortable to think thatilhera exists among us a British Association for the Ad vancement of Spirits. Things nowadays have indeed a tendency to run into societies, but that Mr. Tidd Pratt should be likely to be called on to register a company for encouraging ghost manifestations gives rise to some unpleasant reflections. We have now before us the proc edings of the third " Convention of Progressive Spiritualists," and the account of the meeting and its business set out with all the pomp and seriousness of a church synod. As yet the pro pects of the concern look rather gloomy. It exhibits as unhealthy a desire for postage se amps as the philanthropic advertis, , rs who are prepared to lend money without security. The meeting commenced by the president, Mr. John Hodge, introducing his " excellent and poetic friend, Mr. J. 11. Powell," who thereupon favoured the company with a per formance in the shape of a poem, a motto, and an invocation. Dr. M'Leod, the secretary, was then invited to read his report., but he had none to read. As he pathetically observed, " he had not received anything in the shape of help' of any kind from those whom he might term brothers and sisters, with very . rare, very few exceptions. That, however, was a matter belonging entirely to the financial depart ment." Dr. M'Leod had abandoned his practice at the instance of a medium, and " the lecture he had given on 'Human Love' had been almost enough to lead to a man being locked up for six months accord ing to the popular notions of that delightful and divine thing." Further on he spoke of Epictetus, Robert Owen, and Andrew Jackson Davis, with other dis tinguished spiritualists in North and South Ame rica, as being interested in the movement. The chairman gave a cheerful testimony to the pleasure he had experienced in shaking hands with several dead relatives, who did it with the same look, the smile, and the words, as when they lived. A paper was read by a Mr. Etchells, in which sewage was utilised for spiritualism, and in which the following curious circumstance was given :—" I may say that more than one of our mediums have seen the spirit of Tetzel (who on earth sold the Pope's indulgences) hover around the bedside of the dying Catholic, or just about to pass away, clothe himself in toe rorin - of Jesus Christ with the crown of thorns —the bleeding hands and the pierced side. They have seen him, as it were, calling the spirits away, and coiling around it, in order that he might carry it away to the Purgatorial prison-house, a belief in which had been instilled into it by false education on earth. And while he with his legions have been thus engaged, power for a time has been given to the Double to dissolve the unholy covering by which this bad spirit has been surrounded, and thus, in time, to clear the mists from the eyes of those about him who were ripe and ready for the change." The Convention was then adjourned until Wednesday, June 12, when a communication was received from Mr. Peebles, of America. Mr. Peebles, of America, was interpreted by Mr. Robert Cooper, the showman who exhibited the Davenport Brothers some few years since in London. Baron do Guldenstubbe next appeared on the platform, and produced "several interesting and wonderful pho tographs of spirits," including " the photograph of the spirit of an old gentleman, a family relative." But Miss Alstone, a medium from Manchester, out shone all the previous lights of the assembly. Miss Alstone was once enjoying herself with her friends, and entertained them characteristically by falling into " a trance state, the spirit in possession proving his identity by addressing the company in broad Yorkshire, the dialect he used when on earth." Miss Alstone continued, " The friends were de lighted, for they knew, however I tried, it would be impossible for me to imitate the messen ger." However, we are told that, " shortly after the reading of her paper the departed York shireman manifested through Miss Alstone, and spoke for some five minutes in that dialect," from which it would seem that both Miss Alstone and her Yorkshireman practise often enough to enable the former to express the sentiments of the latter in his native tongue, which he is now deprived of using from circumstances over which he has no control. Another Lady, Miss Chapman, was present, who, on hearing the deceased Yorksbireman, became as it were competitively entranced, "and sang for about 10 minutes." Mr. Harper announced that from pre vious acquaintance with Miss Chapman he was able to say that the spirit so manifesting itself was that of Madame Malibran. More than that, at a re cent seance, Madame Malibran had conversed with Mr. Harper and Miss Chapman, and detailed to them the particulars of her death. Baron do Guldenstubbe came forward once more. The Baron has had several letters from Napoleon I. since the return of that Emperor from St. Helena, the only difficulty about the correspondence (pro duced by the trifling fact of the Enipe,ror's being coffined) consisting in the Imperial replies turning up in the vaults of the Invalides, where the Baron called for them as at a poste restante. lle had also a great many papers written in St. Denis, under the church, from the old kings and queens up to Louis XVIII. The Baron is an insatiable autograph collector, and managed to procure a note from Julius Caesar, and another " in the handwrit ing of the Greek general Pausanias, who lived 500 n.c." A peculiarity in the upholstery of the house of this distinguished foreigner is that the tables and chairs follow hint "like dogs," to use his own graphic phrase, and this entirely of their own freewill and pleasure. What was Orpheus to this wonderful baron, and who shall say he is not greater than that other baron known as Baron Munchausen ? An explanation of the manner iu which spiritual photographs were taken was then volunteered by Dr. M'Leod, and a Mr. Tiffin " mentioned the cir cumstance of his having taken the spirit-portrait of a brother of Miss Houghton on the occasion of his (Tiffin) being in company with Miss Houghton in a greenhouse." Conservatories are not gene rally used by ladies and gentlemen for this purpose, but couples retiring into them to renew an ac quaintance with the features of a defunct grand mother will perhaps be a custom of the future when the world sends more subscriptions to the spiritualists. The remaining days of the convene tion were spent in talking about human nature, and the necessity of members puffing and buying the works of each other ; while, as a wind-up, a picnic to the Crystal Palace brought the proceedings to a close. The directors ought to be made acquainted with the fact that there are crowds of spirits in the Egyptian Court, and " that, were the conditions only suitable, the spirits would show themselves to view before more than one of the present company." If the spirits could be induced to show themselves they would form attractions of a higher order than Coxwell's balloon or the Beni-zoug-zougs ; but, then, if we accept Miss M'Leod's description of them, they only wear clothes at times, and fre quently assume the form of vapour, " somewhat o f the appearance of steam." BRADFORD ELECTION.--The nomination of a member of Parliament for Bradford was made yesterday, in presence of a crowd of from 15,000 to 20,000 persons. Mr. Robert Kell proposed Mr. E. Miall, of London, and was seconded by Mr. Alderman West ; Mr. Isaac Wright pro posed Mr. Mathew William Thompson, and was seconded by Mr. Councillor Storey.

Mr. Thompson was not present in consequence of the i'lness of his son. The show of hands was in favour of Mr. Thomp son. The poll will be taken to-day.

PRACTICAL JOKING. —A very serious case of prac tical joking was brought under the notice of the magistrates at the Brixham (South Devon) Petty Sessions on Friday. George Hooper, an apprentice to a local smack owner, was charged with having thrown a quantity of naphtha over a fellow apprentice, named John Brusey, and then setting fire to it. The lads were employed on board the fishing smack Commodore. According to complainant's statement, which was not denied, Brusey, was asleep on deck early in the morning of the 2Gth of September, when naphtha was thrown on him and ignited. HO suddenly awoke, and then discovered that his head was on fire. His sufferings had since been very severe. 110 had been nuclei the care of Dr. Brooking, whose testimony was to the effect that the lad would suffer from contraction of the muscles of the neck as the result of the injuries. The defence was that the affair was " simply a lark," and that it was done as a set off against an attempt of the complainant on Hooper's head the day before. The defendant was committed for trial at uoxt assizes,
