THE SUN; LONDON, SATURDAY EVENIN 0-, SEPTEMBER 29 1855; GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY COMPANY OF CANADA. MONTRE,U, SEPT. 10. On Wednesday, at noon, the second annual general meeting of the stockholders in this company was held at sword's Hotel, Quebec —Benjamin Holmes, Esq., vice-president, occupying the chair. The chairman having called upon the secretary to read the advertise ment convening the meeting, .Mr. J. M. Grant, assistant secretary, proceeded to read the report of the directors, as follows : "The directors beg to submit second annual report to the stockholders of the company. "The railway between Montreal and Portland continues in excellent order, and the line is in a state of solidity and efficienny that would justify trains being run at very high speed, whenever the development and increase of the through traffic may render such a course desirable. "The Quebec and Richmond section, which, at the in stance of parliament to accommodate the public, and from motives of policy, was opened at the commencement of last winter, had to be closed so soon as the absence of frost permitted ballasting to be conducted with facility ; it is now fully ballasted, and in such good order that the ex press train has accomplished the distance between Mon treal and Quebec, 168 miles, in 5 hours for the last two months. " The number of passengers carried since the trains have been enabled to run regularly warrant the hope that when we command a better thoroughfare from the west , and the route becomes better known to the Americans, this section cannot fail to be highly remunerative. "At the date of the last advices from England 2,932,6251. sterling had been received on the A series of shares and debentures, leaving only 659,7751. sterling to receive en the issue of capital. '" The next call of 21. 10s. per share, and of 10 per cent. on each class of bonds, will, in accordance , with the terms of the prospectus, be due and payable on Friday, the 12th dap of October next ? ," It will be remembered that a portion of the proposed capital of the company, amounting to 837,600/., in bonds and shares, was reserved for parties interested in the ex isting Canadian un dertakings , .who were considered to be entitled to, and, under the existing circumstances, might be expected to claim, the benefit of such reservation. Obvious causes, which shortly afterwards supervened, de feated this expectation, and no part of the reserve so ap propriated was taken up. It, t h ere fore, became nece ssar y t o supp l y th e defi ciency f rom other sources ; and application having, accord ingly, been made to the provincial Government of Canada for a further advance of provinee bonds to an extent cor renionding with the deficiency so created ; an act, entitled Au act for granting an additional Aid by Loan to the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada,' 18 Viet., cap. 171, was passed in the late session o f the Canadian Parliament, whereby the Governor-General was empowered to grant such aid to an amount not exceeding 900,0001. " Under the powers of thi s ac t, b on d s will be granted to that amount at the rats of interest as borne by those already issued, and for a term of 25 years. The fund to be raised by these bonds is, however, expressly applicable only to works executed subsequently to the Ist May, 1855. " The directors have not hesitated to avail themselves of the assistance thus considerately and opportunely afforded, and they feel assured that in this they will have the ready concurrence and sanction of the shareholders. " On the one hand an additional preferential charge is created to the extent of interest upon that. proportion of the amount reserved as before-mentioned, winch, if the re serve had been taken up, would have been represented in shares ; but, on the other hand, by moans of the aid thus afforded, the directors have been able to effect arrangements for the common benefit of all concerned in the undertaking. "These have been embodied in a proposal for a supple mental agreement to be entered into between the English contractors (Messrs. Peto, Brassey, Betts, and Jackson), to which the latter have assented, and of which an ottline is now submitted to the shareholders for their approval. " It will be in their recollection, that in tle,e report of the directors of the London board made in fay, 1851, it atA intimated that the contractors, in ;ect Sideration of additional time being allowed for the exekatilh of certain of the works comprised in their contracts; undertook that the shares and company's bonds of the B series should not be issued—the former before the Ist January, 1857, t p lie latter before the Ist January, 1856. But the absorption of the large amount before adverted to in expenditure, not applicable to their contracts, and from which they de rived no benefit, justified some modification of this arrangement. "By the new arrangement now alluded to provision is first made for payment of the balance due to the contrac tors in respect of 'forks certified up to the Ist May, 1855 ; and as no part of the new province bonds is available, as has been said, for works executed before that time, this payment is to be made in B shares and B csempany's bonds —two-thirds in bonds, and one-third in shares. " For the works to be actively prosecuted between St. Thomas and Toronto, estimated at 1,600,0001., the con tractors are to receive payment, one-half in cash and the remainder in equal proportions of B company's bonds and B shares, on which latter 121. 108. is to be taken as paid, and out of the cash payments is to be deducted the inte rest payable by the contractors to the holders of bonds and shares according to the provisions of the original contract. " The contractors are to peer the interest upon any ex cess of the proportion of B company's bonds to B shares which may arise from the appropriation above mentioned, until such proportion is rectified by the further issue to the contractors of B shares against works--the company undertaking that, not later than the Ist of September, 1856, they will sanction the execution of works sufficient to restore the due proportion. "No call is to be made on the B shares beyond the 121. 10s.. to be credited thereon, until after the Ist of May, 1857. " Should any extra works be required the contractors have agreed to accept payment in bonds and shares of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Company, calculated at par in sterling, which bonds and shares the company hold to the extent of 200,0001., which are reserved as a provision for this purpose. "The contractors leave to the disposal of the directors the province bonds to which they are entitled under their original contract, and they will be credited from time to time with the premiums realised upon sales on such por:ion only of those bonds as shall be applicable to works exe cuted by them, as and when they are executed. "They consent to the suspension of the works from St. Thomas to Trois Pistoles, and from Belleville to Peter borough, until the Ist of September, 1856, at which date the company is to determine what portions of the sus pended works are to be proceeded with, and the company is to have the option of further suspending any of the above-mentioned works, on terms which the directors conceive to be fair and equitable. "The contractors also agree to a modification of the con tract for the Victoria Bridge. This arrangement will en able the directors to consider whether it is possible to adopt any more economical plan for its construction. It is un derstood that the present expenditure on that work is to be limited to 60,0001., that being the amount estimated as required for fulfilling existing arrangements with sub-con tractors. Should this estimate be exceeded, such excess is to be paid far in B shares; and all future payments for the bridge, after the let of September, 1856, are to be made in B bonds and shares, in the proporti ons w hi c h w ill re main after giving eff ec t to this arrangement. • " They undertake to proceed actively with the works from Montreal to Toronto, and from Quebec to St. Thomas. " The directors submit the foregoing arrangement to the shareholders as, not only fair and equitable in itself, but as affording the best remedy for contingencies which might have impeded the successful prosecution of their under taking, and they propose that a supplemental contract be executed in accordance therewith. " The works actively prosecuted are those from which the largest and earliest return is to be expected. Those .which arc suspended are the portions likely to be least re munerative. The diminished rate of progress of the works on the Victoria Bridge is in accordance with a desire very generally expressed, and by concentrating the energies and resources of the contractors upon the other parts of the mu d er t a aj eg will expedite the completion of the main line of railway. It also affords an opportunity for consider-. Um whether so me plan of constructi on may not be devised, whereby all the ad v a nta g es to be derived from completing this important link in the great chain of communication may 133 obtained at a less charge upon the undertakieg. " The capital accounts submitted herewith show that the expenditure under that is h s e t a i ,.l , to of the wh last i 3 e o h th l J ,7 u 2 n 2 e ,lsl 37 a mounts to 6,`2,206/. s "15s. ld. was on accou nt of the Montreal and Portland sec tion, including additional locomotive stock, Montreal andocek, "2,117,923!. 93. 01. for works • Toronto.

E se i et that the section. from Montreal to Brockville (1 2 5 :will be ready for opening within a coun there ple of months from the present time, and from its perfect.constructio will be no cause for regretting its immediate use—the whole of the materials used being of the best quality and work manship. An ample supply of engines and carriages, of various kinds, now completed and erecting at the coin -inlay's extensive work at Point St. Charles, will be in yea -diness in due • time. And from the latter it appears that ' the working expenses for the last half-year are a fraction over 11/. per mile per week ; but considering that it is the worst half-year, both in receipts and expenditure, the re snit is with less difficulty accounted for, and it is still. to • be hoped that we shall be able to bring the working ex penses to within 101. per mile through the lower province, ' and every exertion will be made to do so. The trains now • running are capable of earning double the present recei.ets without materially i ncreas i ng the expenditure.' " At the close of the present year the arrangement made by the Gr ea t W es t ern R a il way Company uner whieh.the two companies have agreed to suspend their works Next, of Stretford and London in the direction of Sarnia, with the y/Ow of avoiding the construction of competing linos, will term i nete.

Rossi, If inckes, and Holmes, and at the London board of Mr. 11. Wollaston Blake, have been declared vacant. "These gentlemen are eligible for re - election, and offer themselves accordingly. • "In accordttnce with a general wish expressed by the . shareholders. o f the company, at a meeting held in London on the 20th of July, a report of the progress of the under - . taking and the accounts of the company will henceforth - be issued each half-year.

Every one at all conversant with Canadian commerce will understand, without any attempt on my part at elucidation, that the success of the Grand Trunk Railway depends mainly upon the capabilities of the upper section of our province and the vast productions of the teeming western states adjoining ; and that had the enterprise in which we are all engaged and so much interested been commenced at Toronto, and been worked eastward and westward from that city, with the same energy and tact with which it has been carried on in this section of the province, I feel as sured that the revenue accounts, as submitted to you this day, would have presented a very different aspect. lam happy, however, in being able to state to you that it is my firm conviction, backed as I am by the opinions of Mr. Ross and Mr. Bidder, that the worst has passed, and the corner is turned. (Cheers.) Although our anticipations have not altogether been realised, I cannot help thinking that to some extent we can find a cause for congratula tion in the fact that since our operations commenced . there has been a steady and gradual increase in our weekly receipts, and it affords me pleasure to tell you that the return for the past week was the highest yet issued, having reached the sum of 6,3041., and we may therefore confidently hope to show you some very satisfactory results the next time we meet, as there can be no doubt that these receipts will go on increasing in a larger ratio than they have even done during the past twelve months. (Hear, hear.) I look to the future with the mo s t sangu i n e hopes. An un precedentedly good harvest has been and is being gathered in, which, while it supplies a traffic to the com pany, is also diffusing a spirit of energy and enterprise throughout the province; and the opening of the whole line of road, now promised so much sooner than was ori ginally provided, will, I trust, prove that the efforts of your directors have not been unavailing. I must now touch upon another point, in which I am sure every one in the province is more or less interested. Need I say I allude to the Victoria Bridge ? It is true that the construction of this gigantic undertaking will not be proceeded with so vigorously as was originally intended ; but such suspension, I am glad to say, is but temporary, it being considered that the main object contemplated last session, when the provin cial Parliament gave an additional guarantee of 90,0001., was the early completion of the road. To accomplish this, then, are all the energies of the company devoted ; but as the opinion of the president, which I consider exhibits the feelings of the directors generally, on the subject of Victoria-bridge, may not be known to all present, with permission I will read an extract from a speech delivered by Mr. Ross, on the occasion of a meeting of the English shareholders, held in London on the 24th of July. (Hear, hear.) " Probably (says Mr. Ross) the point of greatest interest to the share holders in England was the discussion which had arisen with reference to the Victoria-bridge. It had been stated by many shareholders that the bridge, as centem plated, was a very costly structure, and that if the cost could be reduced it ought to be. Upon the latter notion he thought there would be no difference of opinion. When the contracts for this line were first entered into, the de sire was to obtain the construction of that important work at the least cost, and the opinion prevailed that the prin ciple of the Britannia Tube was the best that could be adopted for a bridge of the vast extent contemplated, because when once made it required no repairs ; it was not like a wooden structure which would require re building about every ten years, and the application of the suspension bridge upon wire cables for railway purposes had not been tried. However, since the erection of the suspension-bridge across the Niagara River, public at tention had been directed to the subject in England, and the question had been pretty generally discussed whether they could not cheapen the cost of the Victoria-bridge. He held in his hand a memorandum from Mr. A. M. Ross. the engineer of the company, who paid a visit to the Niagara-bridge, and had several interviews with Mr. Roebling, who had superintended the erection of that bridge, and who, in fact, suggested the applic a ti on of the suspension-bridge to railway purposes." The result was that Mr. A. M. Ross ascertained that the cost of the superstructure of the suspension-bridge at Niagara was 651. per lineal foot, whilst the cost of the superstructure of the Victoria Bridge was only 551. per lineal foot, making 101. in favour of the principle adopted by Mr. Stephenson, when lie suggested the tube should be applied to the bridge at Montreal. Every intelligent person acquainted with the working of railways was aware of the great importance of having an unbroken communication between the various sections of the line, and the loss to such lines as had not unbroken communi cation must be apparent to all. There is also another subject to which I must briefly refer, as one of the ut most importance to this company, namely, the probabi lity of amicable arrangements with the Great Western Railway Company being concluded, by which com petition will be entirely precluded between these two great Canadian enterprises. The president and Mr. Hincks are both negotiating in England these arrange ments, and I hope shortly to hear that their efforts have been crowned with success. (Hear.) Just one word more. Another gratifying fact I have to communicate to you is the probability that the " big ship" of 25,000 tons will make her trial trip to Portland, as a prelimi nary step to her being permanently placed upon that station, should the traffic (which I am sure it will) demand it. Such an event is of the greatest importance to the Grand Trunk Railway, and I sincerely hope that no effort on our parts will be wanting likely to insure this event taking place ; and, gentlemen, all things considered, I think I may venture to congratu late the shareholders on their prospects. (Hear.) I beg to move that the report now read, and the accompany ing accounts submitted, be approved and confirmed, and that a copy thereof be sent to each shareholder. The Hon. PETER 11PGILL seconded the motion, which was unanimously carried. Mr. J. GIBBS moved, and Mr. LEMESURIER seconded: —" That it is further resolved, that a report, containing a statement of the affairs of the company, be made half yearly, and be transmitted to the London board of di rectors, for the information of the English shareholders." —Carried. Mr. J. M. GRANT having read the heads of the pro posed supplemental contract, Mr. HUGH ALLAN moved, and Mr. ATKINSON se conded—" That the arrangement made with the English contractors, of which the heads are set forth in the report read to this' meeting, be and the same is hereby approved and confirmed."—Carried. The Hon. G. E. CARTIER moved, and Mr. WHITTE MORE seconded :—"That the proceedings of the London directors, in reference to the additional aid offered to this company under the provincial act 18th Viet., c. 174, be and they are hereby confirmed to all intents and purposes, and the conditions and provisions of the said act are hereby accepted."—Carried. Mr. D. R. STUART proposed, and Mr. ATKINSoN seconded : " That the Hon. John Ross, Hon. F. Hincks, and B. Holmes, Esq., for the Canada board, and H. Wollaston Blake, Esq., for the London board, be re-elected directors of the company."—Unanimously carried. The election of auditors was then proceeded with, Messrs. Allan, Dow, and Bouthillier b e i ng unan i mous l y elected, and a vo t e of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. The crops are now n early all gathered in, and prove to be the most luxuriant we have had for years. The reports, as mentioned above, had stimulated trade, and we fully expect a very large fall business. RAILTVAY TRAFFIC RETURNS. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR, THE PAST WEEK. Miles I opened, I NAME OF RAILWAY.

We quote the following letter and remarks from .Bell's Life : Sir,—The hard knocks inflicted upon you by me don't seem to have made any impressior upon you ; therefore I think you have nothing to complain of. You retain your opinion as to the cause of Rifleman's defeat, and so do I also ; and as it will never come to light in our time which is the correct one, it must always remain in doubt. I never attempted to persuade you that Rifle. man was beaten on his merits. I shall always believe that when he is quite fit and sound no horse can beat him of his age, nor any other horse weight for age. It may appear strange to you, unacquainted with the science of the veterinary practice, that he was lame imme• diately after the St. Leger, and sound when he ran on Friday for the Don Stakes ; but such is the fact, and on reference to my letter you will find Mr. Spooner can corroborate my assertion. I told you in my former letter that I had not the management of Rifleman, there• fore you ought to put the " saddle on the right horse." A gentleman is always in the band of his trainer and jockey and must trust to them, and is not accountable to the public for• their conduct. You ask " whether the oldest man on the Tung ever remembers any horse of mine winning when I declared he could not lose? " It seems more strange that I never hit the right nail on the head once in the thirty-five years I have kept race horses than that Rifleman's infirmity should fluctuate in forty-eight hours. lam only surprised that, as I have deceived the publio so long, they should trust me up to the 21st of this month, having been asked by twenty persons whether I thought Rifleman and Claret would win their engagements this week.—Yours, &c., GEORGE OSBILDESTON: "The Squire" is at last coming round to our way of thinking, and agrees with us that Rifleman was not beaten on his merits for the St. Leger. This, what we said before, we repeat, and regre t th a t th e rea l cause will "never come to light:' W e are f u ll y aware t h at " T h e S qu i re " had not the man agemen t o f the horse for the St. Leger, an d as we never even insinuated that he was privy to his de feat, Mr. Osbaldeston, especially when he himself admits there wa s a cause, oug h t not to comp l a i n of our giving expression t o w h at was noth i ng snore than th e general opinion. It is no easy task to shut the mouths of the public, especially when, in discussing Rifleman's defeat for the St. Leger, his extraordinary performance in the Criterion, and Claret's still more unaccountable defeat by the Poor Player, at Ascbt, were comparatively fresh in their recollection ! It would have afforded us great pleasure to have chronicled " The Squire's " suc cess for the St. Leger as a windup to his most extraor dinary career as a sportsman, and we beg to assure him e letter :B r E r refers LIFE.tot the that if he can succeed "putti n g th e sa ddl e on t h e right hors© " our columns shall be at his di s p osa l .

Every usual treatment was used, but without effect. In this sad state she tried Holloway's Pills, and by them alone the water was entirely removed from her system, and an effectual cure perfected. These pills were lately tried on two dropsical patients discharged as iccurable from a London• hospital, and both were cured by this famous medicine.—Sold by all Medicine Vendors through outleiwshymeonrkts,; by C-Stampa, Constantinople; A.

The Malacca, 17, screw, Capt. Farquhar, arrived yes terday morning at Spitbead, from Lisbon. She has no news of interest except the confirming of Ro , arnond's account of the festivities and doings in honour of the young monarch's birthday and coming of age. Grand dinners and balls were frequent, and a general invitation was given to the British officers to dine at the palace, where they were honoured by marked notice from his Majesty. The ships illuminated and burnt coloured lights trom the mastheads and yards. Altogether there has not been such a display or such rejoicing for the last 40 years. The King and suite came down to Black Liorse-square purposely to view the grand and novel sight of the British squadron being illuminated. The Sanspareil, 70, screw, atter having assisted in the honours, sailed on the 19th for the Black Sea. The Neptune and St. George are likely to winter at Lisbon. The Penelope, 18, paddle-wheel frigate, Capt. Sir W. Wiseman, Bart., left Spithead yesterday afternoon for Sheerness, to disembark the 91st Regiment. The Rosamond, 6, Commander Crofton, is expected back to Spithead, from the eastward, with supernume raries and munitions of war, and is likely to sail for the Black Sea immediately. The Faith steam transport arrived at Spithead yester day from Plymouth, and sailed in the evening for the Thames. The Blazer, No. 20, mortar-vessel, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the eastward. The Urgent steam troop-ship, Commander Phillips, hauled alongside Portsmouth dockyard yesterday to prepare for the em barkation of troops for the East. The sailing•transport Collingwood, 750 tons burden, has arrived at Woolwich, with the Baalbec, No. 89, 838 tons and 160-horse power, and the Scamandre, 731 tons and 180-horse power. They have taken up their moorings off the Arsenal wharf, for the purpose of embarking huts, carts, winter clothing, and other military appurtenances and stores for the Land Transport Curps in the Crimea. The Jaekall, No. 27, screw-transport, left Woolwich on Thursday with a cargo of about 500 tons of shot and ammunition and a few guns and gun carriages. She went down to Greenhithe for the adjustment of their compasses, and will put to sea thence to-day for the Crimea. An experimental 8-inch mortar (rifle bored) will be tried to-day, from the sea battery fronting the Ex cellent, to show if any superiority is g ained over the old mortar in range. The said mortar has been supported by iron collars, or rings, outside of all. The trial will be made for the purpose of proving the advantage of the rifle bore and iron bindings, as described. The rings are placed over the mortar whilst heated, and as it cools the iron, as a matter of course, contracts, and is supposed to be proof against any amount of charge of powder or plugging. Yesterday an inspection of Horse Artillery, of six com plete batteries and some half batteries, the latter consist ing of recruits, under junior instruction, took place on the common at Woolwich, where some officers and non commissioned officers and a portion of each regiment gar risoned at Woolwich were likewise paraded, in order to attract the numerous volunteers who were expected to join. The Tower Hamlets Militia were likewise mus tered for the purpose of giving the men to understand that they were at liberty to enrol themselves in any par ticular corps suitable to their choice. The men were ordered to march round in slow and quick time. On the arrival of Col. 'Wood, of the Guards, from London, the sergeants formed in a body to the right, and the men were again deployed, and after a few manoeuvres they halted, and were addressed by Col. Dixon, who spoke highly of their soldier-'ike qualities, and intimated to them thu superiority the Guards possessed over other re giments ; but the Marines on this occasion were the favoured corps, and received no less than 80 volunteers. . . _ _ The iron screw steamer Jura will embark about 1,000 troops at Liverpool on Monday. These will comprise : Four officers and 89 non-commissioned officers of the Royal Artillery; 10 or 12 officers and 450 from various regiments ; Lieut. Potts, of the 11th Hussars—all for the C[iuiea, as well as Lieut.-Col. Bacon and ten other offi cers of the Berkshire Militia ; Capt. Wragg, 8 other officers, and 280 men of the Royal Artillery ; and 4 offi cers and 160 men of the Horse Artillery, for Corfu. Two regiments of the British German Legion and one of the British Swiss Legion are expected in Cork from Hythe. It is believed that they will be draughted to various garrisous in the county of Cork. The Westmeath Militia havefurnished numbers of vo lunteers for the line. They were open for volunteering five days, during which time upwards of 200 gave in their names for her Majesty's regular forces. Only 67 of these, however, passed the regimental inspection. These volunteers were thus distributed :-34 for the 88th Con naught Rangers, 19 for the 40th, 11 for the 14th, 1 for the 2d Queen's, 1 for the 53d Regiment, and 1 for the 11th Hussars. of ss. in the pound, payable at 45, George-street, Manches ter, on Tuesday, Oct. 23, and any subsequent Tuesday.

MANSLAUGHTER NEAR YARMOUTH.—On Tuesday Mr. Pilgrim, coroner, held an inquest at Caister, near Yar mouth, on the body of Robert Green, of the former place, who had been killed by a blow struck by J. Underwood, a bricklayer. It appeared from the evidence that de ceased had been drinking with other men on Saturday night, at the King's Arms, Caister. All of them left the horse about 12 o'clock, and were standing outside, when Underwood came up with two of his brothers, one of whom asked for a lucifer-match, on which a little "jangling" ensued, and ultimately Underwood struck deceased a violent blow on the head, knocking him down. Green was taken up insensible, and so he remained until Sunday evening, when lie died. Underwood, according to the statement of a witness, seemed a good deal under the influence of liquor at the time of the unfortunate oc currence. The jury consulted, and returned a verdict of manslaughter against Joseph Underwood, bet the pri soner had heel previously committed by the magistrates on the charge of wilful murder.
