THE "TIMES" AND LORD TYINO.HILSBA (From the Times of Saturday.) • Few sessions have passed of late years without an elaborate attack being made by some member of Parlia ment upon the policy and conduct of this jour e na w l i ; th and o Last night Lord Winchilsea roared against 'Vigour that, but for the mass of buildings and u the traffic between Westminster and Blackfriars, would certainly have given us the pleasure of hearing his r emar whol ks The e of his with out leaving the spot where we eine . t e. vehement address to his brother peerson thecou o rse adopted by the Times since the war mo tto Cram a o anunfavourable turn may, however, summed up in a • l phrase—Lord Winchilsea is not of our opinion. We g a e roso unfortunate as to differ from him upon the propriety of laying before the country an exact and un varnished account o f t he condition o f our forces. Lord Winchilseaisall for keeping the country in thedark. Upon this point we join issue with him, but we would preface the few remarks we shall offer in reply to Lord Winchilsea's attack upon us by assuring him that from us he has no " vituperation" to fear. We do net "vituperate" any Englishman—be he Peer or be he peasant—who fear lessly and conscientiously endeavours to discharge his duty to his country. We may deny his facts if they be founded on error—we may arraign his opinions if they be calculated to mislead the judgment of the country, and more especially so at a most critical and anxious period—but we shall do so with the dignity of men who , respect an antagonist because they respect themselves. Had Lord Winchilsea been in any way mixed up with the conduct of this ill-starred expedition—had he been responsible in any degree for its scandalous inefficiency —had we him to thank for maintaining incompetent persons in their posts after their incompetence had been discovered, we should speak of him in a very different tone. But, as the matter stands, it is for the English nation to decide between the English press and those members of the House of Peers who think that it would have been for the general advantage that the public should hare been kept in utter ignorance of the true state of affairs in our camp before Sebastopol until last night, when a Ministerial difference set Lord John Rus sell free to tell the whole truth, as we have told it all along. The question, even so, is not stated in its full force, for, if the official correspondents of the public journals were denied access to the camp, unofficial cor respondents would start up—as they have done—by hun dreds and by thousands, whose murmurs and complaints would be forwarded home for publication. Were we to close our columns to the complaints of these unfortunate persons a dozen journals would be set up within the week, which wonld earn for their projectors a handsome return for the capital invested by the mere publication of scraps of letters from the seat of war. When mil lions of readers are anxious for the smallest scrap of in telligence of this kind, can any man who has attained to years of discretion entertain a doubt that they will be furnished with it through one channel or another ? If we did not do it, somebody else would, and Lot d Winchilsea would be left to combat one name instead of another. That would just be the result of the crusade against the Times. We would suggest, in all courtesy to Lord Winchilsea, the only method by which he could attain th© end at which he appears to aim. A law of a restrictive character directed against the press, as is the case in the continental States, might, no doubt, if it could be carried and maintained, reduce the press of this country into an abject dependence upon the Government. If he would stop the stream he most do so at the fountain-head ; but it would be a very un safe course for the Legislature to venture upon such a step. He must be a bold man who, in the middle of the nineteenth century, should endeavour to keep the country in darkness, in order that such blunders as have cost us 40,000 men and plunged a nation into mourning should escape observation and censure, until the truth in its full horror was made known. We aro far enough from writing in a spirit of bravado ; there has been of late too much bravado ; but we warn Lord Winchelsea and any other peer who may share his views, to consider the probable cost to themselves of a crusade against the press before they commence the attack, We are much mistaken, or they would soon discover, in a very signi ficant manner, that England does not exist for the convenience of the House of Peers. It may be well for them that even " the 29th bulletin" will not now take the nation altogether by surprise. We shall not now hear, as Paris did in 1812, on one day that the army was victorious, on the next that it no longer existed. The one point which appears to have aggravated poor Lord Winchelsea more than another is, that his friend Lord Raglan has been called before the bar of public opinion for alleged disregard of the comfort, nay, of the lives, of his soldiers. Lord Wirchelsea—who prefaced his speech by an expression of his conviction that he would be exposed to "vituperation" from the writers of the Times —not very much in accordance with the spirit of his own declaration, pronounces this accusation to be a "false, foul, and malignant calumny." Surely, had we needed a pretext for " vituperation," here is one. We decline, however, the contest to which Lord Winchelsea would invite us, and beg to recall his attention to the facts of the ease. Have the accusations directed against Lord Raglan proceeded at all from the correspondent of the Times? From the 4th to the 24th of December that gentleman, suffering from the sad malady which has cost us ouronly army, was on a sick bed in Constantinople, and not ono word has he ever written that could, by the most malignant interpretation, be construed as reflecting on Lord Raglan, His place has been supplied as Lord Winchilsea would have it—by the officers of Lord Rag lan's army • and has not every mail th a t h as reac h e d the shores of Great Britain teemed with complaints from them and from our unfortunate soldiers ? It is of them, not of our correspondent, that Lord Winchilsea is really complaining. But do not these complaints proceed from private soldiers, non-commissioned officers, from regi mental officers—ay, and from general officers ? Does Lord Winchilsea, sitting at his ease at home, presume to say that he is better informed than wore the poor fellows who have sealed their statements with their lives ? Ho must have a very robust faith in the activity and philanthropy of Lord Raglan, if, simply from col - fidence in his general character, he ventures to im pugn the statements of those who write from the spot, and who are suffering so cruelly from the effects of the indifferenCe and apathy of their general. Was it the Times' correspondent who restored the locus omissus in the official letter of that brave old veteran Sir De Lacy Evans, with reference to the ne glected post of Inkerrnanl In a word, it is not we who are the accusers, nor our correspondent, but the army, or what is left of the army, in the Crimea. If Lord Winchilsea would seek for confirmatory evidence, he may obtain it from our gallant friends and allies, the French. Let him ask, if he dares, for the despatch in which General Canrobert described to his own Govern ment the desperate condition of the English army. Let him ask, if he desires the truth, for the terms in which General Canrobert has spoken of our Generals and of our Staff. We aro willing to be judged by the delibe rate opinion of so competent an authority, and we chal lenge Lord Winchilsea to demand the production of such evidence. If he will rely on testimony more easily ac cessible, let him inquire of the Rev. S. G. Osborne, or of Mr. Augustus Stafford, what is the condition of our sick and wounded at Constantinople ? In the hospital of Scutari, with its four miles of English soldiers in their agony, he will find the most expressive monument of the discretion, forethought, and philanthropy of Lord Raglan. The Dnke.of Newcastle, in his answer to Lord Win °Lama, refrained from the idle attempt to deny any longer the substantial truth of the statements forwarded to us by the correspondents of this journal. The time for denial was, indeed, past, while Lord John Russell in the other house was painting, in stronger words than even our eloptent correspondent could use, and with all the authority of a Minister was describing the condition of our army as " painful, horrible, and heartrending." One awful revelation after another has confirmed the dark reality of the statements which in the first instance were treated with indifference or contempt. The Duke of Newcastle's present complaint is that we have only spoken with too much truth. He says that the London press is the most active agent for the information of the Russian Czar and his advisers at St. Petersburg. Lord Raglan upon two occasions has complained that valu able information has been afforded to the enemy via London and St. Petersburg through the public journals, To this we can only reply that, whatever may have been the case with other journals, Prince Mine ehikoff has received very little intelligence of much ser vice) to hie operations through Printing-house-square. When the appeal of which the duke speaks was made to us, we offered, as he well knows, te suppress not Only all that could possibly assist the enemy in our cor respondence from the Crimea, but also all the intelli gence of naval and military movements here which we believe, and still believe, to be of much greater import ance. The dake did not think this necessary, but our offer and his reply remain, and can be produeed. We are only answerable for ourselves, and we must leave our ereporaries te do as much. We may, h owever, atm:dart eurselve is with the reflection that th e D u k e of Neweastle..deoesnot impugn our patriotism ; h e s i mply cattolwls o e u n r gi li g t:r i e i ti on in question.

Finally, a i thour r this point to the public we are well-nigh ashamed to notice such a matter, " grat(liteer one word upon the facilities which have been te our correspon dent in the East.

To kow many wandering members f the two houses have the same facilities bee s extended during the la st twelve months ?—to how many h un d reds of Englishmen I Lord Winchilsea and the Duke of Newcastle, moreover, appear to grudge the gentleman for us a few pouniads e v of u s k a e lt p h ork a h nd bisc u it from the Commissa riat, and t who is acting t the skeleto g n r s y oftl e l ' o p s s, whose writer clothing loads of food rot in t he very sight of our — hun gr y os tro e they were meant to shield, the hfiendcobsut of whose waste mustb e e reckoned by the million—takes credit in an assembly of Lords, whose boast in better days was liberal hospitality, That he has cut off the rations of salt pork and biscuit from the one Englishman who has supplied himeelf, his colleagues, and the country w ith the vital truth respect ing the stat e an d prospects of an army which such de spatches as we publish to-day failed altog e ther to supply. Let him comfort himself, and let Lord Winchilsea and his fellow -economists take comfort ; —the full value of every ration shall be rep a id, and th e churls who repre sent a generous country shall not have one farthing to , charge to the historian e the war. At the same tine, we would venture to remind them that the obligation is not all on our side.

LORD J. RUSSELL'S EXPLANATION. ( From the Press of Saturday.) The explanation of Lord John Russell last night must tend to raise his character in the estimation of his friends aid the country. Disapproving of the constitution and condnct of the Cabinet, he has taken the only course open to him, and withdrawn from ax Administration which he conscientiously believed was not equal to the exigencies of the public service. We learn from his own lips that he has for some time past been dissatisfied with the feeble conduct of the war, that he was opposed to the appointment of the Duke of Newcastle as War Minister, and that he has frequently remonstrated against that deplorable mismanagement which has proved so fatal to our army. Satisfied from personal knowledge of the grave errors committed, he could not resist Mr. Roebuck's motion for inquiry. He was unable to affirm that there had been that vigour and vigilance at the head of the War Department which were imperatively de manded at the present time. Holding these views, he had no alternative but to resign. Lord Aberdeen loses a troublesome colleague, and the country the only minsi ter in whose resolution and manliness it had the slightest confidence. It is impossible to view his retirement in any other light than as a protest against the inefficiency of his col leagues. They were perfectly satisfied with existing ar rangements and content to let things remain as they were. The War Administration worked admirably in their eyes. If there is now to be any shifting of places, any transfer of the Duke of Newcastle to this department, and of Lord Palmerston to that, it will only be because Lord John Russell's exposure has rendered some change inevitable. But that change cannot be for the better while the constitution of the Cabinet remains essentially unaltered. It must, indeed, be for the worse, as, in losing Lord John Russell, it loses the only man who, it now appears, consistently and strenuously urged the more vigorous prosecution of the war. The vice of the present Cabinet lies deeper than in the distribution of its offices. It is systematically feeble. It committed the great error of entering into the war re luctantly, even when it acknowledged the war to be in evitable. To this cause may all the disasters of .the Crimea campaign be traced. Preparations were tardily made, and when hostilities began it was hoped that each week of the warfare would be the last. How could it be expected that a ministry would in autumn provide its army with the necessities of winter, when it daily ex pected some terms of pacification from Vienna ? To this hope, and to the delay engendered, our troops have been sacrificed as effectually as if they had been delivered unarmed into the bands of the enemy, though unhappily their death has been more lingeringly painful than if they had fallen by Russian lead or steel. To this same cause may be traced the dilatoriness cf all our depart ments and the restrictive orders imposed on our naval commanders. The object has always been not to impair the power of Russia, but to avoid a final rupture with her. Hence the continued adiu ssion of her produce, the sparing of Ode: si, and the rkfasAl to blockade the port of the Rack Sea, neglects to whiek Russia owes at Ws nicm,nt her power to maintain the contest in the Crimea. The great necessity of the country at this hour is a War Cabinet, constituted with the single purpose of pro- - . secuting hostilities with energy, of repairing past errors, of saving the remnant of our army, of sustaining tho reputation of our arms, and of grappling with our foe till he confesses himself♦vanquished, and sues for peace en terms which will effectually save Europe from his further aggressions. The greatest calamity which could now befal the world would be an accommodation which would leave Russia unchastised, and England humiliated by a sense of uuretrieved disaster. No terms can be satisfactory which do not pluck from Russia her fang. We would cheerfully leave.her a first-rate Power for all purposes of social and industrial advancement, but not a first-rate Power to assail the tranquillity of other nations. The practical question before the Commons is, whe ther it will longer leave the conduct of the war in hands which have so grossly mismanaged it t If confidence is really felt in the Administration, all discussion and all inquiry must needs be useless. But before a decision be pronounced in its favour there is this point to be con sidered—that the practical effect of such ♦ote would be to secure the ascendancy of Lord Aberdeen in the Cabi net. What his present views way be we do not pretend to know, hut his predilections are notorious, and it would be mere idiotcy to expect that he will ever engage in the contest against Russia with the spirit which the country requires. The retirement of the President of the Council is a proof of the skill with which the chief of the Coalition is playing his subtle game. is the head of a party Lord John Russell was to be conciliated ; he was offered a principal share in the Government ; and he was treated with some consideration until his friends and followers were detached from him. That object accomplished, his resignation is received with secret pleasure ; the Government organs c ,mbine to sneer him down ; and he finds to his cost that the sacrifice of his party has been the prelude to the sacrifice of himself. The Coalition, by its unscrupulous arts, has obtained so large a numerical following in the Legislature that it may possibly be able to escape a vote which would expel it from office. But the country will nct be thus satis fied. It has remained quiet so long under the impres sion that the Legislature truly reflected its sentiments. Should it be undeceived, we believe and hope that it will make it. 3 voice heard, and carry its prayers to the foot of the Throne. AUSTRALIAN MINING COMPANIES. Subjoined are the communications brought by the overland mail to the various Australian companies NORTH BRITISH AIISTRALA.SIA.N. " The directors have received a continuation of advice, from Mr. Mackay to the 20th of October. Mr. Mackay advises further shipments of tallow, wool, and hides, and the first supply of wool was at Moretown-bay for immediate shipment, to be followed by other shipments, in December and January. Mr. Beeger forwards tb• report of Captain Bray on the workings of the Kawau mine for September, and states that the steping of the bottom of the 24 fathom level was finished, and that the men were making a dam, and preparing to sink Ninnies shaft below that depth. Every exertion was being made in sinking the new engine shaft, perpendicularly (f•r merly inclined) to the 24 fathom level, and from the activity with which the sumpmen were working, it was . expected that it would be completed by the end of No vember."

(From the Derbyshire Courier.) The extraordinary success of the French Loan, to which we called the attention of our readers last week, has el'cited an article on the subject from the Times. A law was passed for a loan of SOO millions of francs (20 millions sterling) on December 31, 1854. In nine days, that is, between January 3d and January 11, 1855, the sum subscribed " amounted to 2 milliards 175 millions of francs, or 87 millions of pounds sterling, on the whole of which a deposit of 10 per cent., or 8,700,0001., wa s immediately paid." This the Times speaks of as a " great financial opera tion," which " deserves to be recorded among the most remarkable political occurrences of the present time." Much as the Times has depreciated the financial po licy of Luis Napoleon, we are not surprised at its making use of these laudatory expressiors in speaking of this financial operation of the French. For we remember what the Times said and unsaid respecting the suspen sion of cash payments by the Bank of France in 1848 and 184 g. . _ On the 18th March, 1848, the Times said, " the actual suspension of cash payments at such a time (during the revolution) and among such a people, will produce the worst possible effects." The measure "is hardly to be distinguished from a general act of bank ruptcy." "Unhappily, the credit of the Bank of France, by far the greatest and most solid establishment in the country, was already shaken before this decree gave the finishing stroke to it." "To suppose that the decree of the Provisional Government can restore the confi deuce of the public, or, in other words, the nominal value of the notes, is ridiculous." The Times of 16th February, 1849, unsaid all this in a " remarkable" manner. The paper of that date gave a detail of the Bank measures in 1848. After the sus pension of cash payments by the decree of the Provi sional Committee, so far from national bankruptcy fol lowing, the Bank of France was enabled to purchase from abroad 40,000,000 francs of silver, to pass ever to the public treasury in dollar, 100,000,000 francs, and to throw into the circulation of the country, between March, 1848, and February, 1849, five frano pieces of silver to the amount of 150,000,000 francs. " Vast ad vances," says the Times, " were made to the City of Paris, to Marseilles, to the department of the Seine, and to the hospitals, amounting in all to 260,000,000 francs more." Further, the Bank of France discounted registered invoices of all kinds of goods lodged in na tional warehouses. "In Havre alone 18 millions were thus advanced on colonial produce, and in Paris 14 mil lions on merchandise—in all 60 millions were thus made available for the purposes of trade." The Bank of France, be it observed, lost the comparatively trifling sum of four millions of francs by all these risks. And the Times of February, 1849, thus summed up its remarks :—" We cannot do more tha❑ present our readers with this very brief outline of these masterly operations ; but when it is remembered that they were conducted in all the gloom and terror of an unparalleled revolution, when the Go ►ernment lay prostrate before the mcb, and property itielf was openly assailed, this narrative of dry financial iiries assumes the importance and dignity of an heroic resistance to adverse circumstances, and in the very first rank of those who rescued France from the jaws of bankruptcy, and society itself from dissolution, we place wit!iout hesitation the patriotic and able conductors of the Bank of France." France, the Times further states, has -' reason to be proud " of this passage in her history. We have mere pleasure on referring to this circum stance from the fact that the credit of placing these counter-statereents of the Times, soon after they ap peared, in . jutxta-position, and ably enforcing the great monetary principles which they illustrate, is mine to a geatlemau of our own county—Mr. James Taylor, of Bake well. But we refer to what the Times has more recently raid and unsaid about the financial policy of France. In March, 1852, Louis Napoleon, acting on the ad vice of his able financial minister, M. Bineau, formed a plan for nothing less than the relief and amelioration of the condition of the whole agricultural population of France, by means of the establishment of Mortgage of Land Banks. At the same time the establishment of the Banks of Moveable Credit, for making advances or railway shares and bonds, had for its object the relief and encouragement of the trading and commercial com munity. The Derbyshire Courier approved and sup• ported the plan, on its appearance, while the Times de clared that the scheme must " lead to ruin," and that, if carried out of which it altogether doubted the possibility—it would "hereafter be remembered as more calamitous and disgraceful even than Louis Napoleon's political conduct." Such measures were said by the Times to carry the ravages of revolution into the very heart of society." The project of the Mortgage Banks is said to be "execrable," and in conclusion it is declared that " the credit of the nation and the security of property would eventually be shaken by the fulfilment of a project which is at variance with every principle •f political economy or financial science, and copied from the chief absurdities of socialism and revo lution." And so on every occasion ; such as the conversion of the 5 per cent, stock into 4i per cent. in March, 1852, which was said to be dishonest, fraudulent, and tyran nical, and to be certain to fail, but which was entirely successful ; and again on the formation of Bakers' Banks at the end of 1853, by which the working classes of France were preserved from destitution and famine at that period of high prices, the Times has coins forward as the prophet of evil, to ridicule, to depreciate, and,`if possible, to defeat the financial policy of France and. Louis Napoleon. And, we will also do the Times the justios, to say, that when thet event has proved that the writer was wrong, it has been fully, though evidently reluctantly, admitted. We may now affirm that tie cliraaz has been reached; and the most "remarkable" success of the French Loan, " which," says the Timm of Monday last, is an " unde niable proof of the wealth of France ; that within so short a period this enormous sum should be subscribed ;" "a demonstration of the confidence inspired by the Im perial Administration is all ranks of the community," " proofs of wealth, patriotism, and fidelity to the Govern ment of their choice in the French people" sets the question at rest. We may, we repeat, safely say that of all ti• evil prognosticated by the Times, not one jot or tittle has come to pass, but that the financial and monetary sys tem of Louis Napoleon has, so far, been eminently and astonishingly successful. The reason why we call the attention of our readers to these " remarkable " changes of opinion in our ver satile and volatile contemporary is-this. The Times is, and kas long bee n , th e mos t powerful supporter of the bullion* or hard money party in this country. All that the clever sophistry of practical political writers could adduce is support of Peel's monetary policy has, again and again, been brought forward in the . Times newspapf:r. On a subject so confessedly difficult as the currency question the writers have constantly appealed —te the common nonsense of the country. Every idle, silly, and vulgar prejudice which ignorance could sug gest, or selfishness and self-interest fabricate against paper money, has been unscrupulously employed. Now while the Times and its supporters were proving to their own satisfaction, and we may add, we are sorry to say, to that of the great body of the English people, that paper money and paper credit are bad, false, ruinous expedients, Louis Napoleon and his able and energetic financiers have been employing this powerful agent— Representative Paper Money—to restore to prosperity and happiness a nation which had fallen into circum stances as unfavourable for the attempt as any which the history of the world can exhibit. We have left ourselves little space to refer to the latter part of the article of the Times, and indeed it deserves little notice. The writer evidently wishes to say some thing to detract from the merit of this " great financial operation ;" and so he says that the terms are too favourable, and that it is a bad thing for Governments to find teo easy facilities for borrowing money. Let it, however, be remember-ad that if the terms are easy, it is the poor and industrious members of the French community, not rick money-dealers and bankers, who derive the advantage. Whether Louis Napoleon will abuse the facility which he has of raising funds re mains to be seen. We think he will not do so. In the meantime we recommend to the attention of the Times and Mr. Gladstone this consideration, viz., that if a financier wishes to borrow money—and especially in a great national emergency—he will act wisely by pro posing such terms to the lenders as may insure success. And to the common sense of the English people we sub mit this important fact, viz., that the monetary system of France is proving itself as superior to that of England, as their military system has proved itself to ours.

The sporting journalist has no topic this week to em ploy its pen, Abuse of handicappers is, after all, a dis agreeable task, and to enter into a critical disseitatien on the comparative chances would be decidedly injudi cious until after the publication of the acceptances. The frost and snow seem likely to prevent the holding of the Steeplechase gatherings appointed to take place next week. Hopes are, however, entertained that the Croy don affair will be celebrated. The Chester Cup betting is somewhat uninteresting, but the favourably-weighted Reiver, and the alleged " whistler" Arthur Wellesley, continue to hold the lead ing positions in the list of quotations. I ■hall, however, postpone the publication of any notes on the probable issue of the encounter until the horses are released from their straw-beds. A Guide to the Handicaps has been published by " Priam," who has collected a mass of information rela- five to the horses engaged. The book will, douistless, be eagerly boughs. It contains a wonderful " pick" for the Derby ; the " coming animal" has, perhaps, been scarcely heard of by many turates. Jan. 27. 1 FRESH MAN. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of this company was held on the 23d inst. at Herz's great room—M. Chatelus, the vice-president, in the chair. Near him were seated the following directors :—The Marquis de la Tour-Maubourg, Count de Seraincourt, Tiscount de Rainneville, M. Calvet-Regniat, M. La croix, M. Delahante, M. Gibiat, M. Donor), and M. de Lapeyrilre. Also, M. Courpon ' the Secretary. The meeting havin g b een declared duly constituted, M. Lacroix proceeded to read this report :—This document gives a very favourable account of the progress of the undertaking. Up to the 31st of Dec. a sum of 44,388,400 f. has been paid on calls, and if the interest on the capital invested was added, namely, of 1,419,077 f. 23c, the whole capital paid up at that pe riod would amount to 46,307,477 f. 23c. Of that amount there had been laid out for expenses of various kinds before the constitution of the company, works on the line, interest on shares, &c., a sum of 27,102,848 f. 49c., leaving a sum of 19,204,628 f. 750., to be disposed of. In consequence of the acquisition which the company had made of various railways in the neighbourhood of the main line, and of the leans contracted to pay for such purchases, not less than eight different kinds of bonds, some belenging originally to the said lines, and others issued by the Grand Central Com pany, had been in circulation, and had led to much inconvenience from their want of uniformity. The com pany had, since the last meeting, converted them all on equitable terms into one kind of bond, by which the general service of the interest was much simpli fied. The part of the Grand Central network which was open to the public, was the junction-lines from the Rhone to the Loire, purchased by the company with the authorisation of the Government. The working of that portion bad proved highly satisfactory, as would be seen from the account of the nett profit. As the former company had worked the junction lines during the year 1853, the Grand Central had not received the details of that year's working until part of 1854 bad elapsed. The following were the results of the working for the 2 years : —The receipts for 1853 had amounted to 8,411,488 fr. 22c., aadthe expenses to 4,179,770 fr. 78c., leavin g a profit of 4,231,712 fr. 46c. Out of that amount was paid a mum of 4,103,983 fr. 95c. for interest on leans, &c., leaving a nett profit of 127,728 fr. 51c. In 1854 the receipts were 9,920,242fr. sc. the expenses 4,982,491 28 Leaving a profit of 4,937,850 77 Paid for interest ox loans, &C• 857,816 85 127,728 51 Ana L itt e t a t Ti p o r g ofi a t n fo e r tt l p B r s o 3 fit of Total.. ................... 985,645 fr. 36e. or sf. 47c, per share. That amount, however, would not be distributed, as Art. 19 of the statutes prescribed that all profits arising from the working during the period that the line remained unfinished should be appro priated to paying the interest of 4 per cent, guaranteed on the paid-up capital during the execution of the line. The report then entered into details concerning the pro gress of the works on the various parts of the under taking, from which it appeared that everywhere the ut most diligence is exhibited. Part of the rails and other stationary stock had been already delivered, and the rest ordered. Moveable stock, comprising forty-five locomotives, forty-five tenders, and 1844 carriages and waggons had also been ordered, for a value of 11,591,000 francs. Likewise, tools of various kinds had been ordered for a sum of 446,0341 r. 25c. The report then reminded the shareholders that the concession of the Grand Central consists of two distinct parts, the first, comprising the sections from Clermont to Lernpdes ; from Montauban to the river Lot ; from Marcillac and Contras to Perigneux, all of which were at the charge of the company ; and the second, the re mainder of the line from Lyons to Bordeaux, to be executed on the conditions of the law of June, 1842, according to which the State was to execute the works and the works of art, and the company to lay down the iron way and provide the working stock. The Minister cf Public Works had, the report states, pro posed to the company to execute the latter part Mee, en conditions to be mutually agreed on, and the treaty would probably be sigaed in $ few week& But in outer to eater into that arrangement, the board had to ask the meeting to give it full powers to treat ; and a vote on that point would be submitted to the meeting. The report then entered on the question of the several branch lined, which it would be advantageous for the Grand Central to possess, and in particular the Novers line ; that from Agin to Tarbes, and from Mar cilia° to Rodez, from Moulins to Montlucon, and from Montlucon tto Limoges. The board would also ask for powers to treat for the whole or part of the forges and mining establishment of the Aubin company, lying ad jacent to the main line. The board, the report declared in conclusion, would use all these powers, of whatever kind they might be, with great reserve and cantion. The accounts were than approved of ; the various autho risations crilled for by the board accorded unanimously, and the proceedings terminated. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE PAST WEEK.
