RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. EASTERN COUNTIES. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street --Mr. Waddington, M.P., chairman of the board of di rectors, in the chair. There was a very full attendance of shareholders. The report and accounts, which have already appeared in The Sun, were read by the Secretary. .The CHAIRMAN said that in submitting to them the report just read for their adoption, they would find that after paying a dividend there would remain a balance of 1,7451. 13s. 2d., and adverted to the directors opposing the distribution of the surplus of 11,0001. as an extra dividend last half-year, which he looked upon as a wise and sound decision on their part, it having allowed them to give a better dividend this half-year. The traffic be tween Harwich and Antwerp had been brought before the shareholders for 12 or 13 years past, and great expec tations were entertained of an increase of traffic, in con sequence to Harwich. He then called attention to the establishment of steam-boats in connection with the line, and the increasing numbers that had since passed over the line from Harwich, which-there was every reason to believe might be greatly improved, but it was for the shareholders to say whether sufficient boats should be put . on the route to properly test these productions. The booking by the boats was in the first week only 11 passengers, but in the last week had increased to 346. The board had not decided on adopting the report of the engineer for maintaining the permanent way in the most efficient manner, being desirous of obtaining first all the information they could on the subject. The ques tion between this company and the Northumberlacd and Durham Coal Company had been referred to arbitration, on the suggestion of the solicitor, which the directors hoped would be found ultimately to be to the advantage of the company. With regard to the irregularities connected with the stores despartment everything was being done that could be to place the company in a proper position. The East Suffolk Company bad offered to take the respon sibility from the company, arising from the Halesworth and Haddiscoe agreement, which would be submitted to the meeting. The auditors report was of so grave a nature that he could not permit it to go forth without comment. The hon. gentleman entered into the details mentioned, and read reports from the officers of the various departments connected with the permanent way, general stores, &c. The difference of 4,3381. 13s. 10d. in the stores, mentioned by the auditors, was accounted for by the bookkeeper of that department as arising from the stock being taken at a reduced value from their cost, or in errors of casting or other discrepancies, leaving but 1,2001. to 1,3001. to be accounted fir. The auditor also observed the assets under the head debts due to the company required reVision, and that 1,7451. 13s. 2d. would be insufficient to be carried over to the amount estimated to be due to the Locomotive Superintendent, but the Chairman said the directors and officers had conducted the affairs of the company in a proper manner. With reference to the capital expenditure during the half-year stated by the auditors to amount to 126,4621. 16s. ld., including 58,489/. 17s. 9d. for additional rolling stock, which tliey were unable to determine, should be wholly charged to capital or a part to revenue, Mr. Gooch had offered his ledger for inspection, and bad stated his readiness to substantiate every item contained therein, and informed them that the charge was correctly made. As regarded the receipts of the company under the amalgamation, they had been such as had been anticipated, but the expenses had been in creased, and he could assure the meeting the directors would use their best endeavours to promote the interest of the shareholder. He moved the adoption and reception of the report. Mr. PATTERSOY seconded the motion. Mr. BRUCE (director) said it was an unusual course at these meetings for a director to oppose the report, bat be did it feang the arrangements made with the Nor folk railway were unfair, and ought to be repudiated by the shareholders. He entered into details showing the Wilts and Fakenham line, which was only eight miles in length, would receive Is. lid. for a ton of coals, whilst the Norfolk line, which was 51 miles long, would get but 9d. The hon. gentleman entered into other matters connected with the management of this railway, complaining that he was kept ignorant of many circumstances. (Hear.) He was no party to the re port, and protested against that and the dividend. On Tuesday week last a board was summoned to look into the accounts. The accounts were brought up; but with out the main figures affecting the profit and loss. He said Le must see the books before he agreed to the ba lance-sheet, having reason to suspect them, because in December, 1854, the accounts were cooked. Books were produced accordingly, but, to his surprise, they were in pencil and not added up. He said the books then produced would not suit him, and ho asked the meaning of an entry in pencil for 50,0001., and wished to see the items. The book keeper said the matter did not come into his department, and he was unable to give the information required. He then asked for the person who could, when he was told the books were at Stratford He said he would sit there till 9 every evening and investi gate the accounts if they would furnish him with them to be satisfied that he ought to remove his protest and pass the accounts. (Cheers.) On Tuesday there was another board meeting, when the question was put that the ac counts be passed, but he still protested against them, the balance-sheet being no other than a skeleton one that was presented to them. The accounts, however, were passed, and he entered his protest against them and the report. (Hear.) He objected to the dividend from the fact of their requiring 100,0001. to put their permanent way in an efficient state, and the necessity of 30,000/. or 40,0001. being put by as a reserved fund for that purpose. (Hear.) He next entered into the de ficiency of the stores. The deficiency was never 13,0001. or 15,0001. Then the 4,000/. remained. The books had not been added up for two years—(shame)—and they had never been brought before the auditors nor before Messrs. Quilter, Bull, and Co. (Shame.) The stores supplied were of the worst description, for which they were charged from 30 to 100 per cent. above the proper price; and so bad were they that the grease supplied for the wheels of the carriage was more like chalk aml grease, and so bad that the trains had frequently to be delayed from its nse in consequence of the axles becoming heated. The lion. gentleman entered into many other details reflecting on the management, animadverting strongly on the arrangement made with Mr. Gooch, whereby he received large sums by way of percentage on the savings in the expenditure. When a committee of investigation was appointed, and visited Stratford for that purpose, they found a deficiency of 1,0001. in oil and tallow for the year 1354. (Shame.) At a subse quent meeting of the committee, they were insulted by Mr. Gooch, in the presence of the chairman. He told them they had acted so ungentlemanly that he had directed his officers and servants not to answer any questions, except through him. (Shame.) lie con demned the course pursued relative to the amalgamation. Mr. BROADBENT (director) objected to the report, as being incorrect. It was a shame to circulate such a document amongst the shareholders. He also condemned the management, corroborating much of Mr. Bruce's statements, and made strong remarks on the chairman's conduct in receiving a premium in the Tilbury shares. The CHAIRMAN rose amidst hisses and loud cries of shame, and claimed the right of replying to the charges brought against him. He denied receiving the shares as a director of the Eastern Counties Railway, but as a director of the Tilbury line. He disavowed what had been said against the directors and the management, contending he used his influence and did all he could for the best interests of the shareholders. (Ironical cheers.) • Mr. GRAY said they were all indebted to Mr. Bruce fur bringing under their notice the existence of such abuses, and he suggested a check could be put on them by the directors dividing the duties, each taking a cer tain department to efficiently watch. The persons . who had been guilty of such conduct connected with the stores department ought to be exposed. He suggested a reform of the directory, since the officers were master of the board. Mr. Box congratulated the shareholders on the manly conduct of Mr. Bruce, and moved a vote of thanks to that gentleman. (Hear.) Mr. GRAY and other gentlemen seconded the resolu- Con. A S ABEFIOLDEn expressed his opinion that it was the EI duty ut - the b oa rd to rebut, if they could, the charges Mr. Bruce had brought forward. Mr. Noaan called upon the chairtnan to give some explanation relative to the arrangement; with the Hales worth and Haddiscoe ComparlY• The CIIMR3IAN said an epitome of the arrangements had been forwarded to each of the shareholders, and the subject was now in their bands. N011;2IA said, that beiug the e. 3.30, it Wottla L 0 better fot theth to expiince that paragrApli and the last from the report. Ha thought there was something mys terious in the board making no suggestion relative to „ the above arrangements. He made soma general re - mark on the report, which he termed a "melancholy document," complaining of the short time it had been in the hands of the shareholders. He did not consider the dividend for this bait-year had been fairly earned during that t .nF ... He moirerf, , as an .ainendment. to the chair roans rcsolutior, that So much of the report as related to the difiidend to agreed to, but that the oonsideratioe THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER 1. 1855, of the remainder be adjourned, and a committee of share holders appointed to consider the state of the company, and report thereon. Mr. M‘LAREN made some condemnatory remarks on Mr. Gooch's conduct, observing the directors appeared to be led by one or two of the head departments. It was necessary there should be a change to put the direc tors in their proper position. They were bound to look after the interests of the shareholders, instead of trust ing as mush to subordinates ; and he suggested the keep ing a book for registering the attendance of the direc tors to their duties, and the time occupied in discharging them. The CHAIRMAN then put Mr. Norris's amendment, which was carried by an overwhelming majority. The CHAIRMAN, before the committee was named, called the attention of the meeting to the remarks of the chairman of the Great Northern Railway at a late meeting of that company, relative to the appointment of a similar committee. Mr. NORRIS moved the following gentlemen as the committee :—Messrs. Ball, MP., T. Christie, H. Soper, Pilcher, H. Lane, and Goodson, which, with the addi tion of Mr. Norris's name, was unanimously agreed to. The meeting then separated. EASTERN UNION. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at Radley's Hotel, Mr. J. C. Cobbold in the chair. Mr. AmEs (the secretary) read the notice convening the meeting. The report, an abstract of which bas ap peared in The Sun, was taken as read, and after a fow observations from the chairman, it was adopted. On the motion declaring a dividend of 6s. per cent. on the A stock, and of 4s. per cent. on the B stock, an amendment was moved by Mr. GREENWOOD, and se conded by Mr. &Jew, to the effect that no dividend be declared on the present occasion. The amendment was rejected, and the motion de claring the dividend was carried. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro. ceedings. NORFOLK. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday, at 69, Lombard-street, Sir S. M. Peto in the chair. The CHAIRMAN moved that the balance-sheet and statement of receipts and expenditure, which had been laid on the table, be approved. He said they had not printed the capital account for the last two or three years, simply because it had been practically closed, the only addition daring the last half-year having been a small sum of 101. for timber furnished six years ago, but payment of which had never been applied for. The revenue amount showed the traffic on the joint lines to be 591,3551., as against 555,649/. for the like period of last year, being an increase of 35,706/. The motion for the approval of the balance-sheet, was then agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then moved that a dividend of 11. ss. per share be declared, and also a dividend on the several guaranteed stocks at the rates which they respectively bear. The resolution was unanimously adopted, and a vote of thanks having been given to the chairman, the meet ing separated. SOUTH WALES. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Great Western Hotel, Paddington ; Mr. C. R. M. Talbot in the chair. The repurt, which was read by Mr. F. G. Saunders, the secretary, stated that the total amount received on the capital account was 3,907,0151., and the total ex penditui e 4,067,9341., showing a balance on the debit side of the account of 160,9191. The receipts for the half-year on the revenue account amounted to 127,1921., and the expenditure to 85,1901., leaving 52,0031. available balance, to be carried to the general revenue account. This general revenue account amounted in the whole to 88,4531., and the charges upon it were 38,8701., leaving 49,6131. disposable fur dividend. The preference dividend upon the 201. gua ranteed shares consumed 7,7461., and the 3 per cent. dividend upon the ordinary share capital of the company 36,7261., leaving a balance to be carried to next year's account of 5,1411. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, alluded to the gratifying increase in the traffic upon the line, which now exceeded 6,0001. a-week. Lord VILLIERS seconded the adoption of the report. After a brief discussion the motion was unanimously agreed to. Resolutions authorising the dividend and the forfeiture of certain shares were carried, and the other formal matters for which the meeting was called were also complied with. The meeting was then made special ; and resolutions embodying the propositions contained 'in the advertise ment having been unanimously agreed to, the proceed ings terminated with the customary complimentary vote to the chairman. EAST KENT. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday at the London Tavern ; Lord Sondes: in the ohair. The Secretary read the report, an abstract of which appeared in Ike Sun. The CILIIIMAN said that a great deal had been done since the directors had last met the proprietors. The company had introduced two bills into Parliament, both of which had been passed in a way which showed that the East Kent Railway had the unanimous sanction of both branches of the Legislature. A large proportion of the second call remained due on the 30th of June last, but since that period the arrears had been paid upon 8,000 shares, and the directors were using their utmost exer tion to get the_remaining calls paid; Ho concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. J. SADLEIR, M.P. (Vice-Chairman), said he thought the board were now justified in congratulating the shareholders upon the success which had attended their efforts in Parliament during the last session. The South-Eastern Company bad held their meeting on the previous day, and he found it stated in The Sun that a topic of great interest had been brought under the notice of the proprietors. The conduct of the Legisla ture had been complained of, but it seemed to him that the many calamities which had descended upon rail way property, and which had proved a bar to its suc cess, were to be attributed far more to the voluntary policy adopted by shareholders and directors than to any act on the part of the Legislature. As far as the East Kent shareholders were concerned, they had no ground to complain of•the decisions of the Legis lature ; and he was glad that the South-Eastern proprie tors had evidenced a desire to co-operate with other companies to protect the interests of those who had em barked their property in railway undertakings. In the late Parliamentary contests in which the East Kent Company were engaged the board was supported, not only by the great body of proprietors, but by the gentry and traders of the district through which the line was to pass. They had also the support of both branches of the Legislature, and yet, with all that amount of public sympathy, they had to contend with the fierce, if not the unmitigated hostility of the South-Eastern Company. Nothing i❑ the world could be more reasonable than that the company should endeavour to get their 50,0001. released, in order to apply it to the construction of the bridge ; and yet the South-Eastern Company had op- posed the project with all the influence they could bring to bear against it. Ile now looked forward to the rapid completion of the line, not only from Strood to Canter bury, but from Canterbury to the Admiralty pier at Dover. (Hear, hear.) After some discussion the report was received and adopted. The meeting was then made special for the creation of the now capital, consisting of 20,000 preference shares of 251. each, bearing 5 per cent. interest. Resolutions having been carried to authorise the crea tion of preference stock to the above extent, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the proceedings terminated. NORTH-WESTERN. The Lalf-yearly meeting of this company was held on Thursday, at Morecambe--Mr. Henry Alcock in the chair. The CHAIRMAN moved that a dividend of I.s. 6d. per share be paid, without any deduction for income•tax, upon all shares on which the full amount of 201. had been paid up. The motion was seconded by Mr. KITeON, and adopted. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro ceedmgs, WIMBLEDON AND CROYDON. The half-yearly-meeting of this company was held yes terday at 31, Parliament-street, Mr. W. Reid in the chair. The report stated that the line of railway is ready for. traffic; that notice to that effect has been given to the . Board of Trade ; and that, as soon as the necessary sanc tion is obtained, the railway will be opened. The direc tors have entered into an arrangement with Mr. George Parker Bidder, by which that gentleman has taken a lease of the line for 10 years, at a rental which is equal to 41 per cent. on the capital of the company. The CHAIRMAN then moved the adoption of the report. Mr. Hoax seconded the motion, which was unani mously carried. The agreement mentioncd in the report was then, aft ,-, r some discuPsion, agreed to. A veto of thanks to the chairman was carried, and the meeting separated. SOUTH YORKSHIRE. The halt-yearly meeting of this company was held yes-, terdly at Sheffield ; Dr. Dymond in the chair. The report stated that the passenger and goods traffic for the past half-year showed a satisfactory increase of about 3,0001. over the corresponding period of 1354. New terms have been settled with the Great Northern Company. The directors recommend a divil-md of 11 pm' cent, per annum, after paying all fixed charges. The revenue account for the half-year ending the 80th of June showed that 21,735/. had been received on the rail way, and 13,4311. expended, leaving a balance of 0,3031. atter paying debenture interest. On the navigation the receipts amounted to 23,007/.„ and the expenses to 17,781/, leaving a balance'of 5,2301. On botitrevenues there was a balance available for dividend to the ordi nary shareholders of 11,331.)./. or. Pd. After, some discir.2ion the motion for the adoption of the report was carried unanimously. • A dividend at-the rate of 1 per cent. per annum o; the • gaaranteod and sma at the rep of 1:2: per cent, on the ordinary stock of the company were de clared. A vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the meeting separated. SOMERSET CENTRAL. The half-yearly meeting of the company was held yes terday at Glastonbury—Mr. George Warry presiding. Resolutions, declaring a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, awarding 2501. for the services of the directors and auditors for the year ending the 31st of December, and thanking the directors for their past ser vices, were passed. LLYNVI VALLEY. Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the Great Western Royal Hotel, Paddington— Mr. G. Kinderley in the chair. The report stated that the accounts for the past half year, as compared with those of the previous six months, showed a decrease to the extent of 3721. The report was adopted, and a dividend of 4 per cent. declared, after which the proceedings terminated with a, vote of thanks to the chairman. BORDER COUNTIES, The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Hexham on Tuesday, Mr. W. H. Charlton in the chair. The report stated that the engineer of the company estimates the cost of construction at about 26,0001. less than originally contemplated, and that the greatest por tion of the land required for the line may, it is expected, be arranged for without any immediate advance of capital. The report was adopted, and, on the motion of Mr. Taylor, thanks were voted to the directors. EDINBURGH, PERTH, AND DUNDEE. The half-yearly meeting of this company took place at Edinburgh on Thursday. Sir William Dunbar, de puty-chairman, presided. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the approval of the and balance-sheets, stated that the revenue of the last half-year amounted to 79,3511., as against 75,8881. in the corresponding Period of 1854, and that the expenditure amounted to 45,9421., as against 43,6181. The surplus, after paying all preferential burdens, amounted to 1,1781., as against a surplus in August, 1854, of 4161. The in crease of revenue showed a steady and progressive im provement in all the branches of traffic, especially in minerals, of which they had carried 33,000 tons more the last half-year than in the first half year of 1854. Mr. TAYLOR seconded the motion of the chairman, which was unanimously adopted. The CHAIRMAN then moved a resolution to pay a divi dend at the guaranteed rate of 4 per cent. on the Gran ton Preference Stock and the 51. Preference Stock, which was agreed to. The meeting then separated. BLYTH AND TYNE.

The present situation of Denmark is the subject of the article in the Paris Constitutionnel of yes terday. Our contemporary's observations are two fold—in the one case, relating to the general posi tion of that country, in consequence of the conduct of the Chambers in authorising the Government to suppress the constitution ; and in the other, more particularly discussing the probable conse quences of the notice given by the Government of the Udited States of its intention not to renew the treaty which has now for some years existed be tween them and Denmark, relative to the payment of the Sound dues. The first part of the article is of too general a character to require any particular notice, but the observations of our contemporary on the second subject are of sufficient interest to call for extract. Tho Constitittionitc/, after nar rating the circumstances of the denunciation of the treaty by the United States, says : "The American Cabinet, far from asking for a dimi nution of the dues like other States, bring the question to a close by declaring that they will not pay anything more. What will this pretentien lead to? It appears difficult to believe that the United States should succeed in thus regulating, for their own account, a matter which Interests - the mercantile navy of the whole world. Could the United States be freed from the Sourd dues while the other maritime nations continued to pay them the trade of the Baltic wotild soon be closed to all but the vessels of the Union, which would have an immense ad vantage over their competitors. The question of the Sound dues can evidently only be settled by common agreement, and by a sort of general congress of all nations." - . The Constitutionnel then proceeds to examine what will be the probable effects of the United States persisting in their determination not to come to some arrangement. It says : "If the United, States persist in refusing the pay ment, of the duties, and in declining all negotiation, then either Danmark will let their vessels pass, in which ewe no other vessel of any nation whatever will consent to pay the toll, and Denmark will lose the brightest jewel of her crown and the most considerable part of .her revenue, which would be equivalent to the loss of half .her' territory, or, the Danish cruisers will stop the vessels of the United States on their passage, and, if not, the forts will sink them. In that case there will be a war. Wo need not pause to explain all the consequences of such an event, especially in the present state of Europe. Were such a contingency to be realised, it would be hardly possible for European diplo macy not to intervene, actively and with sufficient influence, in a dispute in which all commercial na tions have a serious interest. In point of principle, diploniatista would inevitably declare agfainq, the pretension of the United State:. The latter say that the duties levied by Denmark on American vesse l s in the Sound exc l us i vely result from a treaty by which the United States had consented to this tax, but that now, this treaty having expired, Denmark has no right to continue to levy it. Danmark, however, maintains that her right is universal ; that the treaty cii-Tt'llyitereag.Stitlaatt!ds, tehxoercisce" concluded with l); e tni3l) Government his enjoyed of this it from rtwiimP*ithieltiontitlillielleritili)tel:%.‘ei'al, and that, even were the origin of the right in question open to doubt, it now‘exiets by pro scription. This line of argument has some weight; and it would have still more, had not Denmark for so long a time taken undue advantage of her position by exorbi tantly increasing the Sound duties, and arbitrarily modi fying them, °den even so as to cause considerable Meow venience in commercial arrangements. It is thus that this power has prepared a storm, and rendered every one hostile to a tax which; had it been established with more moderation,and subject to less change,. would u fido•tht edly have continued to b? paid without opposition,?

Observe opposite the York Hotel. By her Majesty's Roy-1 Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race course, Opera, and Perspective Glasses, to know the distances of objects viewed through them—of great importance to the army, navy, and others. These telescopes possess such extra ordinary powers that some 32 inches, with an extra eye piece, %ill show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same teleseope can be seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers accordingly ; while their vary ing from 4 to 6 inches enable us to discover more than the above, and the Georgian, with his 6 satellites, &e.--The Royal Exhibition, 1851.—Valuable, newly-invented, very small, powerful waistcoat-pocket glass,the size of a walnut, by which e o s n e e t n ahne a d n r d sahc k iep n . cs o o vE res l ec t aani. miles l(l y sa d et i e s nt t h a ae n t t; opera they houses,ans w answer It person every 8 to 10 miles. country scenery, They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to ptu c T an os b e sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera, race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful power.—Newly-constructed Spectacle Lenses of the great est transpareu'e power. The valuable advantage derived from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occu pation —can see with these lenses of a much less magnifY iug power--and they do not require the frequent changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance.

Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely removed; and it affords all the assist ance that possibly- could be desired. 39, Albemarle-streets OObserve—opposite the 'Vcrk g0*4.,4.
