The first half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Eastern Counties Railway under the existing direction, and the twenty-sixth of the company, was held this afternoon, at the Londoa Tavern ; Mr. Edward Ladd Betts, Chairman of the New Board of Directors, in the chair. The meeting was very numerously attended, the large room of the tavern being quite full, the gallery included. The business of the day was commenced by tha se cretary (C. P. Roney, Esq.) reading the advertisement convening the meeting, after which the seal of the com pany wa► attached to the register of proprietors. The CHAIRMIN then said—Gentlemen, the directors have emts d►ed in their report b,fore )t.O as fully as they can their views at the present time consistently with the period they have been in office.—(Hear.) And that circumstance, gentlemen, renders it urtnt ssary for me to address you further than to say that I shalt be most ppy, after Mr. Roney has read the report, which he will now proceed to do, to answer any questions any llonourtble Proprietor may wish to put.—(lL•ar, hear.) Mr. RONEY tnen real the following report:— " The directors have to report to the proprietors, that immediately after their special general meeting on the 13th July la-t, at which eight new directors were nomi Dated, the then t xiting board of directors took the requisite st,p; prescribed by the Act of Parliarn , nt for t In: admission of the new members, s i that on Monday the 16'11 of July, the latter were enabb d to take thei sea s, aid to enter upon the duties of ffii.e, in conjunc ton wish the remairang members of the old board. The number of dirt etors wit!, in compliance with the wishes of the proprietors, be re, used to twelve, and the prc per stets for thi4 pulp, 53 are being taken in accordance with the Act of Parliament, and will be brought to a close Friar to the meeting on the 31st inst. " The new dirt ctors would but ill deserve the confi dence reposed in them. it, at so early a period atter their eke th. y assumed t) be sufficir ntly informed upon the extensive atfAiis of the company, to enable them to recommend a specific course of action upon all sub- jects 01 interest to the proprietors, but they are prepared to si ate the principles upon which any future reconi menOations from them will be founded. TneQe may be stared as follows: "1. To close t to capital account, and thus terminate the t rizo cause of the undefi Jed condition ..t the c na pany's affAirs; not that it is pretended the capital ac count will remiin unaltered, for surplus land will have t be sold, and works may from time to time be neces sary. All debits and credits in these respects, will, how ever, appear distinctly and separately in each half-yearly stae cent, and be easily comprehended; and when the capital z cco•:nt is thus closed, its amount shall not be materially augmented without the consent of the pro prietors. " 2. To ascertain the value of the fixed and rolling stock, and every description of property which may be realiskble. This valuation will be essential to enable the pi oir.etors to 0:131 an opinion as to the amount of future net profits to be divided. " 3. To bring the working expenses into such a system of accou.it that an increase in any d(partment may be effectually and instantly checked. Such a system must be introduced before any great change can be tff:cted for the improvement of the concern. " 4. To arrange the accounts so that the net profits, the assets, and liabilities may each half-year be clearly shown, and easily understood. " 5. Not to divide anything but clear net profits, after keeping up t ff--ctuwly the rolling stock, and setting aside sufficient to pu,vide for deterioration of permanent way, iv,e k:, and ataions. " I. is believed these principles will be found appli cable to all questions whleia may arise in respect to the yr ,o,rty. " It would have been more satisfactory to the direc tors could they have had time to rernotel the accounts now submitted for the past half-year; but they feel it is due to the s h are h o ld ers to l ay them as early as pos sible, in the best form they are able, betore the proprie tary. These acc ounts , prepare d b y M essrs . Qulter ' Ball, and Co., and audited by M r . R., e ves, th e on ly auditor at present, are submitted to the meeting, and may be regarded as fairly and correctly representing the revenue and current expenses of the past half •year; and the directors feel justified in recommending a dividend of 2g. per each share of 201. of the capital st( ck of the Eastern Counties and Norfolk Coirpanies. It will be observed in the accounts, that an ample sum has been set apart for the halt. year, an,l eharg. d against revenue, as recommended by the late committee or investigation, for the renewal of permanent way and works. The apical account is Mil in the bands of Messrs. Quilter, Bill, and Co., who have promised to give to it their continued and clog) attention. Before the next half-yearly meeting a full statement of the affairs of the company shall be submitted to the proprietors. With an income so great a: that now derived horn the under taking there will always be a dividend payab'e• but its amount must depend upon the expenditure attendant upon earning it. The correction and diminution of this ex penditure is, the directors feel, the vital matter of management; and when they next meet the proprietors, the latter will have cause to be satisfied, as the directors hope, that the supervision and reductio of such expen diture have not a bee r n neglected. "Alter the ecieTent for amalgamatiLm with the Norfolk Railway majority of votes, r e ',.nal'at'Y had been adopted by a company, the so large a portion of the capital of this corn directors could have wished that it had been in rlei t r, tt p r o l le m r e t n o t. r e pe rt the confirma tion of the agreement by The BA' for such Committee in th confirmation was lost i n Cornßeuse of Lords, and any rteewerl application must' OYEZ' to a future session of Parliatnenr.Th e ) There is r s e . t vi r a i, n r a d y . ai ri pr ibility of the am-ement thenreceiving mentaryunction; for the particular opposition, which succeeded in defeating the Bill, was not to the principle nor to the terms of the amalgamation, but was in respect of matters wholly foreign to the subject. " During the temporary want of the Parliamentary authority to make the amalgamation complete, the directors have not hesitated, under the ativice of eminent counsel at the Chancery bit - , to cury out practically the wishes of the shareholders so plainly expressed in favour of the confirmation of the agreement, and to remove all illegality from the proceedings of both companies, while the terms of their bargain shou:d remain unchanged ; and the directors feel assured that Parliament will eventually sanction the union, sad will approve the proceedings of the company in the mean- . time, which secure to the public the beuefi; of the amalgamation. " The steps advised by couusel have formed a subject of a supplemental agreement, of which the lollowitz is an abstract:— " The terms of complete amalgamation as to be sanc tioned by Parliamint, shall remain the same as already agreed to. " But to prevent litigation, and in order that the trans actions of both companies, pending the sanction by Par liament of the amalgamating may be regular and legal, it is agreed between both companies as follows: " That the Norfolk Company shall repay the Eastern Counties Company's advances. "That the Eastern Counties Company shall purchase the Norfolk Company's rolling stock now in their pos session, and pay for the same by instalments as may be st ,, reed between the companies." The reading of the engineei's repor t wa s s dispensed with; but upon its being suggested that th ame c: urse should he pursued with regard to Messrs. Quitter's account, Mr. NATHAN insisted that it ought to be read, ob!-erving that it was a scandakus shame that while they were paying 60,000/ a ear for the Nor folk line, it only yielded them an annual re turn of 20,000/. 110 attributed the desire of the di-. rectors to carry cut the Norfolk amalgamation to the tact that some of the. Chairman's relative, held a large inte rest in the Nortolk concern.—(llisses, and '• No, no.") The CHAIR3IAN indignat,tly denied the inapuLition. The report of Messrs. Quitter was then read. It was as folows: To the Chairman and Directors of the Eastern Coun- ties Railway Company. " Gentlemen,—ln pursuance of yeair instructions, we have prepared statements of the revenue of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, to the 4th of July, 1849, ani now beg to lay them before you. They are as fel lows, namely:— " 1. Statement of the revenue account for the half year ending 4th July, 1849. " 2. Revenue balance-sheet to 4th July, 1849. 'The accounts are made out in the form usually adopted by the company in its printed statements, there not having been sufficient time to adopt any other. " The current revenue account is framed on the prin ciple of comprising within it only those earnings and expenses s hich are proper to the half-year, including— as to tie earning E—all those sums which, although not actually received, are represented by good realisable assets; and—as to the expenses—all those sums which, although not actually paid, are represented at the close of the period by debts due by the company on revenue account. " The operation of this principle necessarily excludes from the account all payments made during the year in respect of expenses in curred in periods e resu a l t n t o y t i h o r e thereto, and is intended to bring out of a distinct and th particular half - year's working, as that either by extraneous independent period, uninfluenced charges or be e e x , : h r i e b n i e t e o d u s i credits the ; co s ti h n a t n th ow is p r r e es u e i n t ted 'e , csouh je. ct only to any question which may possibly be sug gested as to the prupritty of the sum charged as a re serve (beyond the amount paid for maintenance and re pairs) to cover renewals of permanent way and works. The amount so reserved is 16,0001.. and it is adopted in accordance with the recommendation given in that be half by the committee of investiyaiion. " No charge by way of reserve is considered necessary to provide for renewal of rolling stock, the aclusl pay ments debited to revenue for repairs and new stock I eing deemed adequate to cover the deterioration result ing from the traffic of this half-year. Tne present account shows the net earnings of the half-year, previously to charging interest, to have bten X 173,980 3 0 The interest chargeable to revenue amounts to 148.498 3 10 Leaving a net result 0r... There is al.° standing at the credit of the revenue account the sur k lus re maining after payment of the divi. dend for the halt-year ending 4th July, 1848, namely And, likewise, the balance remaining at the credit of revenue account tor the half-year ending 4th Jan., 1849, after charging it with the sum of 97,364/., in pursuance of the recom mendation of the committee of inves tigation .L 35,395 I . _ 7 "2. The revenue balance sheet is intended to exhibit the general position of the revenue affairs of the com pany on the 4th Jul), 1849. " With respect to the liabilities to creditors on revenue account, we believe every pains has been taken, both by advertisement and otherwise, to ascertain their full amount. " With respect to the assets we believe that—the item of debtors represents good debts ; the item of stores represents the ac'tial stock on hand ; and the item of cash, the actual balance at the cry lit of the company in the bankers' hands on revenue account, on 4th July, 1849. " We beg to draw:your special attention to the sum of 1:34,027/., standing at the debit of the profit and loss account, anti forming a constituent item of the revenue belanec-sheet; it consists of varieus amounts having relation to re venue accounts of different periods ante cc dcnt to the 4th January, 1849, partly ascertained under the committee of investigation, and alluded to in their report, and partly the result of our subsequent examina tion of the accounts. "This item is subject to be affected by the pending investigation of thv capital account, and remains at present undisp-sed of in the revenu+:• books. " The amount expend. d on capital scoutul luring the half year amounts to 186,0921. 17s. 9,1." _ _ The CHAIRMAN said there wai a minute of the com mittee f investigaion which he wished now to have read. Mr. RONEY then read the " A meetirg of the car =Mee of birestigati i was summon. d for the 24. h itn, int, but only tour m nbers, viz., Mr. Col, Mr. East, . Sher- W.( d were yrexynt (five being a quorum). It was ap reed— " In considering the various recommendations referred by the committee of investigation to the meeting held on the 10th of May, 1849, and by that meeting adul:ted, it will be found that several of them have been carried into effect, and the remainder are receiving the best at tention of the new board. • "Such being the case, the members of the committee now present conceive the time is arrived when they hould be relieved from any further service, particularly as the investigation of the capital account is in progress un ler the new board. " Messrs. Quilter and Ball, the accountants, produced their demand for the investigation of the revenue account, as reported by them, and male up to the 16th of April, 1819, amounting to 3601. 16s. 9d., which the directors are requested to pay." The CHAIRMAN then moved that the report now read be received and adopted. Mr. CHRISTIE, of the committee of investigation— Mr. NATHAN, cid h at leaA a dozen others, rose to move an amendment. Mr. CHRISTIE said, before any amendment was moved, he wi-hed to say a few words previous to the committee of investigation giving up its stew a: dshir. They had now closed their labours as a cora mittee of investigation, and they had, they hoped, made a report, and although in many respects it was very severe against not only the late chairman but the deputy chairman, still this report was such as tl.ey felt it to be their duty to make. If they had inflicted pain upon many of the gentlemen who had undertaken the manage ment of the company's affairs, he hoped and trusted they would consider that it was only in the discharge of their duty that they made the report in such severe terms.— (Hear.) Havieg ended their labours, they did hope they would receive some compliment at the hands of the meeting.—(Hear, hear.) At all events they had done their very best, and they were now only too happy to withdraw from the Eastern Counties Company, the fhirs having been placed in the hands of an able and honourable body of gentlemen.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. NATHAN then moved that the paragraph in the repot relating to the Norierlk Amalgamation be ex punged, and that the directors be recommended to take no further steps, and waste no more money in the matter. Mr. HOWES bad intended to propose a similar amend ment, but having been anticipated, he had great plea sure in seconding this one.— (Hear, hear.) Having got rid of this Norfolk difficulty in a legal way, it would be rash and unwise to enter into a fresh preliminary agreement.—(Cries of " Hear, bear.") No one could' be taken by surprise by that course, and as Parliament had determined that such an amalgama tion was nut for the public good, it as quite ridiculous. with a divided constituency- and an opposition out of doors from the East Anglian and Newmarket Compa nies, to attempt to fight the battle over again.—(Hear.) Mr. CRISTIE—The East Anglian and the Newmarket want us to buy them. Mr. HOWES said that did not alter the case; aed, in his opinion, it would be madness to go on with this amalgamation.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. EAST said they ought to have had a statement of the receipts and expenditure in i he Norfolk line. The CHAIRMAN said a lull statement of the receipts and expenditure of both lines would ho laid before them previously to the next half-yearly meeting. Mr. EAST asked it' the statement would be separate? The CHAIRMAN replied, yes, as far as it could. Mr. Wees, N believed the meeting was only anxious to arrive at truth in this matter.—(Eieer, hear.) He agreed with the line in Shakspere, "Sweet are the-uses of adversity." It ought by this time to have taught them caution, and he hoped this ill-judged measure reccmmended in the report would not be hastily entered into. Chesterfield said the character of a public men, should be like the virtue of a women, above suspicion; and such ought to be the character of a railway director.—(Cheers, and laughter.) Now, Mr. Pao was a large contractor, ho'ding no less un interest than 100,000/. in the Norfolk lii:e; and without being offensive to the Ch eirm:: n, becould not help stating that it was said °uteri doors that the getalemen in the chair was! the nominee, and might be tmate the cat's paw of Mr. Peto.—(No, no.) Let them then throw over the amalgamation at once, and there would be an end to these personal discussions.— (Hear.) Mr. R. Wartn:inciured if a committee of the direc tors tahnd Easteru eir Counties and the Norfolk bad been appointed. o f tlie if' names.so ho wHme. asked dwtehree question,t re fre m b e c e a a u c s h e board, and " Mile s's Boy" did say t h at parties had been appointed who haverevti e b d t e t l ea — t ti L re a e ug h h a t d er b .) een a ppointed ad CHAlRMAN wi T io h o e ughLn"t to on the part of the di r e c t ors o f the Norf olk , four on the part of the Eastern Counti es . There names were—Mr. Glyn, Mr. Ellis, Mr. Kinnaird, and himself. Mr. WA.IID Kid,' then it appeared that Mr. Betts - (the c'nairoatO rem sented Mr. Pc to's interest. He ven tured to say' that that electi n was not an unanimous one. To use- a Its ,rsh expression made by One of their one bo:ly, he tnighc say mat such a body ought not to have been al ipohrited to gulrd the interests of the Eastern Coun sea, He did not wish to use a harsh ex pression, but it seethed to him that the appointment was a scandalous oar. _ Mr. TOZEll.;aid, he must unhesitatingly say that if this question of the _Norfolk Amalgamation had been considered wider other and better circumstances, that such a suggestion woulei be at once rejected. He might fairly asarame, if the proprietors bad been in the condi tion he 'mentioned—in the possessien of the whole of the facts, order to guide their judgments to a correct de ciaion--he should have said, i' there was a strong differ ence of opinion, that it was much better to endure loss rather than keep the company in hot water. But he cowl:tined that the proprietors had not bad a fair 0/4)6ft - unity of considering the matter.—(Hear, hear.) By- the report of the committie it appeared that the pro posed sunalgamation originated with Mr. Robert Ste phenson, who, since that period, had acquired a large interest is the line, which he said he obtained ' from his father, who Ras a large proprietor. He did not impute improper motives to Mr. Stephenson, but he contended that his advice must partake, as a natural consequence, of pre judice, if not tainted by self-inters st. Ha was not in such a case a fair person to give unbiassed and unpre • judiced advice. Ne hoped the eew board would nale out a (Thai' ct line of demarcation Letween the policy of the old directors and that which should dictate theirs. They must chalk out a new line and t,ke the bull boldly by the horns. The proposition for the ainalgainati.:m had emanated from Mr. Hudson, and he, knowing something of the company, took the Liberty at that time to dissent to the proposition altoge ther. The country was a very difficult one to deal with—it was not long enough in proportion to its breadth, and therefore it required other rail% ay accom modation, and great competition must be the inevitable result, which must cripple, to a great extent, the profits of the other. It appeared that the gross re turn for every 1,000/., or say for every 1,000,000/. sunk in that line, did not yield as good a gross return as this lice, and therefore he said it was nut fair to amal lga- amal- gamate on equal terms. Mr. Hu dson—who pooh tpiooonhesd ay h il i z t d h o e w y n ui w us h t en ntj h t e go o i b n j t e o ct m ed ere to thea details—had ex pected a revenue of 3,500/. a week from the line.— (Oa, oh!) Now he wished to know if there war any one at thawsoard prepared to make such a s t a tement 2—(, hear ) It wus altogether incorrect. The amalgamation was passed in a hurry, without due, consideratiou. Not one word was said at that time about the g uaranteed stock of the Norfolk. What bad the Legislature done ? They had left the question an open one, and the directors being, as he hoped, unshackled, he trusted they would advise the proprietors as to the course which they should pursue.--(Einar, hear.) The committee of inv,stigation • had not had sufficient time to go into this amongst • other matters, but the figures which they prUduced • showed that it would be a most unwise thing to amal gamate upon equal terms. Amalgamated management might be, in some cases, good, but in this cae one line , would be sacrificed to the other. Indeed, the policy which led to the formation of the Norfolk line had proved altogether abortive. The promoters of a line through that part of the country had to cope with the difficulty of keeping out opposition and competition from that district. Now, the Northern and Eastern amalga mated with the Eastern Counties, in order to effect this, yet at that time the Eastern Counties was about to be opened to Norwich. We, then, had a prospect of having . two lines, where it was obvious that but one would pay. They had a portion ot railway at Brandon which would never pay, tor it was not adapted to carry affic; and the Norfolk had the other portion, and they must make the best ot it.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Well, with respect to the question of guaranteed stock. The best portion of the Eastern Counties line, between Stratford and Cambridge, was made with guaranteed stock, a very unusual thing. But how did they stand with rest: ct to the Nertolk? The repor: of the committee said 60,0001. was required to pay the guarantees and deeenturesiof the Nortoik—( Voice—" 63,000 a") — and the committee were judging from the hesi. half-year's rece pts. Why, even so, it took halt the gross receipts without providing for expenses, to pay the guarantee. Their guarantee was materially less than that of the Norfolk.—(Bear.) That was the state of things at present; but let them bear in mind that a new line to Norwich, thirteen and a halt miles shorter than the present route, would soon be opened, which the coin mittee stated might abstract some portion of the passenger traffic. Nuw, it was well known that tee passenger traffic paid the best, and that if they lost any portion of that which they enjoyed, which they could ill aff,rd to lose, the best portion of their business would leave them.—(ileer.) He wished to know on what data the committee came to the resulurion that they had a monopoly of the goods traffic it the) lust a portion of their passenger traffic. Besides the lines would cross each other about a mile trim Norwich. Then he imagined Ord Yarmouth and tot Norwich supplied the bulk ut the trtlfie, and it was more likely to go only to Ipswich than to Norwich, be comae the line would be fourteen miles shorter, which might make all the difference whether fish, for in stance, arrived tresh in London or not.—(Laughter.) It was said in the report that any loss they might experience would be compensated tar by the line Iron, Wymondharn to Dereham, which was a mass of barren sands. Ho doubted much whether the committee had not been deluded at Lowestoft by Alr. Stephen son as to the greatifi ss of the woe and had not visited this fart of the line a; Wyrrondham at all. Why. the Wymondharn and Der. - ham line did not pay Its expenses.—(A veice—" Ard never will.) The report of the directors reed that day intimated that the directors would not teke upon tLemse:v.s the reqousibiiity of directly advising the amalgamation, w hich he looked upon as jesuitieal, and es not marking out a distinct line of policy. lie blamed them for not expressing their decided opinion upon the matter. Then if they areal , sited with the Norfolk, they must amalgamate with the Eastern Union on ((lust terms, which paid its proprie tors nothing, ant never will.—(Elear, hear.) Ile would conclude with this advice—make no amalgamation, and take no Lase unless the whole of the [acts ware beture them.—(Loud cheers.) A MEMBER ot the COMMITTEE said his colleagues had not altered their opinion upon the policy of the amalga mation; the matter upon which douot prevailed was the terms which should he paid. Mr. KINNAIRD said, when he came into the room he did not intend to make any observations, but since the Northern and Eastern had been alluded to, of which he had had the honour of being deputy chairman, he in tended to offer a sew sentences to the meeting. Ile did not bring any documents with him, because he did not believe that the matter would be discussed.—(Hisses.) He did nut particularly object to it, and was nut to be deterred by clamour, nor by any person making faces unlike the face of a man. But the Hon. Proprietor had stated much that was erroneous. New he believed that the question ot the Norfolk amal gamation was one with which the interests of the Eastern Counties were bound up. Whether it took place or not, their prosperity depended upon it. It was perfectly true that 63,000/. was guaranteed, and would amount to the whole of that sum when all called up ; but it was unfair and unjust to compare the amount oLmoney they had to pay years to come for lines to be ind, ic i ob m h ne eau t ndp he y eomnat dot knew he this nothing. to show aoß)wg oatbrn h aar.tt and sa f on a nd l t h f u ao e s nr i t m o r a n a et ffi td h e :ha attempt t h b. had h Stemr Now,. phs et en s ps o oh m tei some made, tiod from interested motives; but he was sure Mr. Ste phenson was too well known to render any contradiction of such a statement necessary.—(Hear, hear.) After a close examination of the matter, the opinion he had ar rived at was that this amalgamation would be for the interest of the Eastern Counties COED pany. In the first place, the returns of the Norfolk Railway, as proved by the committee of investigation, were 120,000/ a year, a !lila the amount of produce which the Norfolk line brought upon their own railway was no less than 56,0001 tor the year. The speaker was here interrupted by a terrible uproar, whtch called up The CIIAIRMAN, who said ho would adjourn the meeting unless order and silence were kept. Some decree of order having been obtained, Mr. KINNAIRD proceeded to argue at some length in favour of the amalgamation. Mr. CASH was afraid they were spending a good deal of time unnecessarily, as another op portunity would be given to the proprie tors for discussing this amalgamation question. Before another step could be taken in the matter the sanction of the proprietors mnst be given to it.—(Hear, hear.) He asked then fair play fur this beard. The paragraph in their report proposed to be left could in no way commit the proprietors to tho amalgamation, and he did hope the noisy disputes would be terminated, and the business of the meeting quietly and calmly disposed of.—(Hear). Mr. Wu.soN said a report had gone abroad that the returns of the Norfolk line were not sufficient to pay its guaranteed stock. It might be a malicious report; but he could not help feeling that since there was so much smoke there must be some flame; and he therefore called upon the .meeting to pause before they committed them selves to the report. Mr. GLYN argued that the amalgamation would be of great benefit to this company in many points. It woull enable them to develop& and receive traffic which must otherwise fall into the hands of their rivals, and when the time artived for considering the question, he was sure the majority of the proprietors would agree with the directors upon its expediency.—(llear, hear.) Mr. Yawn thought the accounts were illegal. The Amalgamation Bill had teen thrown out, and therefore the tv.o concerns were separate, and one account ought to have been made out for each line. If they would take his advice they would have nothing to do with the Nor tulle, and he hoped the meeting would nut allow the directors to forestall the question in the manner they had proposed.—(hear, hear.) Mr. ELLIS said the shareholders who dissented from this atnalg.,:nation represented 25,0001. of consolidated stock, whit& thoso who approved of it represent, d upwards of 2,000,000L—(-fear, hear.) Ile had the honour of being on the committee of investigation who investiga!ed this matter. lie confessed he went into it prejudiced, but he came out of it satisfied with its sound ness. Nolhing had further confirmed that opinion than the opposition of their competitors. They looked upon this amalgamation as their ruin, and their opposi tion v. as got no with the view of icing bought off.— (Hear, hear.) Those who spoke so disparagingly of the :eceipts of the Norfolk line, observing that thsy were liss per mile than those of the Eastern Counties, should remember that while the Eastern Counties line cost 77,0001 per mile, the Norfolk line cost only 24,0001. per mile.—(Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN said, after the illiberal manner in which his name had been mentioned at the commence ment of this eliscussion, and the aspersions that had been thrown out against, him and his personal character, he felt it his duty to slate at once that he was the nominee e of no party, and it ill became Mr. Nathan to make such a charge in a public com pany like this.—(Loud cheers.) Four or five weeks ago he was pieced in the chair by the same majority that voted on the Norfolk arrellgamatien.— (Hear, bear.) lie was placed there in the full know ledge that he had large interest in the Norfolk Com pany, of which his friend and brother-in-law was the chairman. At the same time he must also mention that he had had a large interest in this company. no ss indeed than 15,0004 of stock, which cost him 2s/. each.—(llrur, hear, and cheers.) It was after basing been an auditor of the company, and:after refusir g to audit cue, because he was dissa isfied with it, that he wits elected to the office be now filled.— (Hear, hear.) It was at no solicitation of his own that he obtained it; onerous position Was, h e did not see k i t; in ded ,laethi;duiush the notadmire the situation or its duties. But he was sought out by many of the very la-gr st pro prietors, arc' almost farad iuto the office.— (Hear, hear.) Three times had he refused to take a scut at the-ic board ; but utter he had been elected to the chair seetehip of the cempsny, 63 an almost rne u aurus resuluticn, he did thick it was a m os t 'radii- thing to attack him in the ton e an d manner some honour able proprietors had done.—(ch e e rs .) B ut i t W a s u,ec et g reat satisfaction to him, atter whet had oc curred to-day, to knew that the largo majority of the proprietors who had pieced him in the chair still ap proved of his conduct.—(hear, hear.) Ileving said this much with regard to hitnsetf, he nom felt bound to state his conviction that the Norfolk amalgamation would prove highly advantageous to t h e company.—(friar, hear.) It was right that he should tell Usual that before he came there he was a director en the Norfolk board, but immediately upon his being elected to the chair he now filled, he resigned his seat on the Norfolk direction ; and he hoped his character and position in the City of Loadou would be a sufficient guarantee that he could not be guilty of the acts imputed to him.—(clear, heat.) It was his duty to repudiate the insinuations as publicly as they had been made, and this must be his excuse fo upon these perso na lities.— heir.)th ing emeeting must rem e mbtr r propertythat a d ' ci s t: l e this, representing thirteen millions, was not to be grasped in a we- k, a month, or even six months; and he ceutd tell th em t h a t t h e i r affairs were in such a condition that unless some Very strong hated were brought to bear upon them, the company would become a ruined concern. The gentlemen, however, who now sat on the direction had been working for the shareholders during the past kw weeks eight and ten hours a day, and yet they were told, by a small section it was true, that they were unfit to fill the seats they occuteed.—(No, no.) With regard to the amalgamation question, after the Bill had been thrown out, and in order to save the com pany the expense of heavy Chancery suits, they bad taken the advice of counsel, arid, acting upon that advice, they had made a supplemental agreement to curry out the former arrangement for the term of seven years. Before, however, any application would be made to Parliament to sanction the amalgamation, an opportunity would be afforded to the shareholders at a special meeting of expressing an opinion either for or against it.—(Loud cheers.) He had Loped that this meeting would have gone off gently; had he supposed they were always to remain in hot water in this way, he never would have conseeted (utak° the chair, but he hoped now that he had put the proprietors in possession of what the directors were doing. that in future they would meet with a little mere indulgence at their hands.—(Cheers.) A PROPRIEToR asked if the original agreement did not bind them to go to Parliament again next session? The CHAIRMAN replied— Certainly not. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a question, distinctly stated that the directors c, uld not go to Parliament, and, indeed, would not, with respect to the Norfolk amalgamation, without again consulting the proprietors. A PRvPHIETOR inquired if it was true that, during the present halt year, the income of the Norfolk company had • been sufficient to satisfy the interest and expenses of working. The CHAIRMAN—Not a doubt of it. I know it is a fact.—(Loud cheers.) A PeoPullreet, said it had been stated that the New market lute would not pay. If so, it was in cons. quence of the high charges of the Eastern Counties. They ehareed Is. sd. per mile for lecemotive power, whilst the Dover and Brighten charged Bd. and 93., and 6001. for management. A PROPRIETOR said the real cause of all the tumult that had taken place this day had arisen from the want of information on the part of the proprietors at to how the matter s ood, and the resources of the Norfolk line. Why were not facts and accounts produced ? The CHAIRMAN said the directors had not yet had time ; they should be forthcoming as soon as pos silele.—(llere there were loud cries of " Vote, vote.") lie did not see the necessity of voting upon the amend ment, since the directors pledged themselves not to pro ceed upon the subject until the proprietors were again, called together.—(Cries of " Vote, vote.'') The amendment was then put, when it was lost by a large rnsjoiity, and amidst much cheering. Mr. Howl s demanded a poll, amidst much dissatis faction and ridicule. The ri pert was then put and carried. The CHAIRMAN ant.ouneed that the poll would be take: on Munday. &verul gentlemen here personally explained to the Chairtnan !IA they did not intend to treat him with disre,peet, as he might have imagined from their heated A ro!e of hanks was thrn passed to the Chairman and directors, who briefly fxpr, ssed his acknowledg ffiebts, saying—amidst the utmost confusion, no less then three p, rsons were gesticulating away at once— tl,at if be had shown himself more sensitive at the , sperzioLs that had been cast upon him than he should have done, he expressed his regret On behalf of the ,irecton he might state that nothing should be left un done to render the line beneEcial to the public and to the s hare holders.—(Cheers.) The meeting separated. NORFOLK RAM WA Y COMPANY. (THIS DAY.) The half-yearly general meeting of this company took place to•day at the Company's offices, Guildhall buildings. Adam Duff, Esq., the eairman of the company, took the chair shortly atter one o'clot k. having been " When the proprietors last met for the purpose of E y n r T o A u ß tineh a u d si t n t l e ss fo h l gone through, The The Su usual sanctioning the Bill fur the amelgamation with the Eastern Counties Company, it was not anticipated that they would have again been called together as an indes pendent body; unexpected circumstances, however, have since occurred to delay the period of complete union between the companies. " In the last stage of the Bill in the House of Lords, an opposition was got up by parties connected with the Newmarket and East Anglian Companies, which it was impossible to resist successfully in the then advanced stage of the session; it is, however, satisfactory to know that the reason assigned fur the rejection of the Bill by the . Lords' Committee was independ en t o f th e p r i nc i p l e of amalgamation, and arose from circumstances wholly out of the control of this company. "Acting upon the resolutions whi c h h ave f rom ti me to time been passed by the proprietors, and fortified by the opinion expressed by several of the largest share holders, with whom they have had the opportunity of conferring, your directors have proceeded in concert with those of the Eastern Counties Company, to take such measures as were advised by counsel, for rendering the union between th e compan i, a as com pl e t e as po ss ibl e mail an Act of Parliament shall be obtained. " Your directors have accordingly entered into a sup plemental agreement with the Eastern Counties Com pany to the following effect:—The terms of complete amalgamation, as to be sanctioned by Parliament, shall remain the same as already agreed to. But to prevent litigation, and in order that the transactions of both companies pendieg the sanction by Parliament of the amal gamation may be regular and legal, it is agreed between both companies as follows:—That the Norfolk Company shall repay the Eastern Counties Company's advances. That the Eastern Counties Cumompany then purchase the Norfolk Company's rolling stock now in their pos- session, and pay for the same by instalments, as may be agreed between the companies. That instead of a lease of the tolls to terminate in May, 1855, the Eastern Counties Company shall, under the 208th sec tion of their Act of Incorporation, work and use the Norfolk lines until the same date, and pay to the Norfolk Company such rates and tolls as shall be sufficient to enable them to pay the expenses of maintaining their lines, and the interest on their guaranteed stocks and borrowed moneys, and a like dividend half-yearly to their proprietors, as shall be paid to the Eastern Counties proprietors. That the Norfolk Company shall ceenplete the works at Lowe • stop Harbour. That the Eastern Counties Company shall keep u p t h e N or f o lk rolling stock to the same state of efficiency as whe n received, and that the Norfolk Company, in May, 1855, if the amalgamation b e no t th e n sanctioned by Parliament, shall re-purchase the said rolling stock at the same Counties Company as s h a ll b e now pa id by the Eastern Company f or t h e same . That if the amalgamation be sanctioned by Parliament, the purc hase of the rollin g stock shall be annulled, and the pa) meats on account of such purchase by the Eastern Counties, to become ad vances to the N or f o lk Company,and charged against them as p a rt o f t h e i r ex p en diture, to be comprised within the agreed limit of 2,800,000/. That the Eastern Coun ties and N or f o lk C ompan i es s hall unite in further appli cation to Parliament for sanction to the amalgamation, and for the es t a bli s h men t o f a fair gu!ate the lines of both companies, and shall appeal to the justice of ParliAment, not to impose or to continue upon any portions of the lines, rates ur tertns lor carry leg, which experii nco shsll have proved are nut ado (pate!) , reinunera , ire. " At the Eastern Counties meeting, to be held this d q, it is p ro p ose d to d ec l are a dividend of two shillings per share, u p on t h e stoc k o f the B istern Counties and Nor folk Comp:flies, equal to ten shillings upon the 1001. stock of this company, for the half-year. " Disapp:;iutment will no doubt be felt by the Nor f.:ilk sh are h o ld i rs, at the sma ll nes s of this dividend, but it must be recollected, that the Eastern Counties Com pany, ha ve h a d to conten d w i t h d i fficulties of no ordinary kind, during the last half year. Independently of the general depression which has pervaded all commercial enterprise, the divisions and agitation which have existed a mong t h e propr i etar y, have necessarily had a paraly zing influence on the exertions of their management. The mariner in which their revenue account is stated, affords the best guarantee for the future honest edininis tration of the affairs of the unired companies. It will be satisfactory to the Norfolk proprietors to know, that their lines have contributed their full r . oportion of net earnings. When the undivided attention of the management shall be given to the nevolopemsnt of the resources, and the efficient and economical working; of the consolidated un dertaking, your directors confidently anticipate a gradual and permanent improvement in the value of the property. " The attention of your directors, has been applied to the reduction of the exi.:enditure of this company, to the smallest possible amount, and Mr. Till having expressed a wish to meet the views of the Directors in this matter, has resigned the office of secretary, offering his services in any other way in which he could be ir,eful, and the directors being desirous to ensure a continuance of his assistance in another capacity where he might be equally serviceable to the interests of the company, have erected bins a director, in the room of Mr. Betts, who has re signed; and they have also appoiuted him a member of the joint committee of management. " Since the last meeting two of the directors have retired, namely, Mr. Betts and Mr. New , b€ ry, and 3 our directors recommend the preprie tors to ex ,- reise the powers vested in thew of pe r manently reducing their number to eight. They also recommend that tit, it allowance sf!ould be re d front 1,0001. to 6001., and that 400/. of this auto should be appropriated tu the members ot the joint coin miitee. upon VI h ta the burden of the luau,: manage ment of the undertaking must twee& Laity devolve, vhichvtillrequiro their constant attention. " The director; have appointed Mr. Junes Hutt, who has hitherto acted as registrar, to be the new sec/et:ay of the c:mpar►y, at u salary of 3001. per annum. " The capitol account for the pres,nt half-year has not I e.'n audited, in con,equer,ce of the late auditor: having disqualified, and therefore dcelit:ed to act. Tii , Eaittrn Counties Company, however, have rt cpirt.a that the whale accounts bhuuld be submitted to a public accountant, whose report will be laid bclore a future [netting. It will be the duty of the proprietors to ap point new auditors at this tr.ee;ing. On the motion for the adoption and circulation of the report, Major COURT moved as an amendment that the meet ing should be adjourned in order to gibe the share. holders au opportunity of considering the report. The amendment having been seconded some consider able discussion took place; but ultimately the amend. meta was withdrawn, and the repi,rt agreed to. Thanks were then voted to the chairman and diree , tors,. and the meeting separated. NORTH WALES RAILWAY. (Tills DAY.)

She gave a general denial to the charge. She was wear tng a gold watch, chain, and seal before the search took place, 11.1 and these or similar articles were produc e d t o by the searchers. (These articles were produced, as well as two brooches, some postage stamps, a thimble. and other things, which were found upon hcr.; I made an inventory of all the article; found in her possession ; among them sera some scrip in the Sambre and Meuse Railway, nutnberee from 6,460 to 6,469, and also some scrip in the Amien and Boulogne Railway, numbered from 48,665 to 48,674. These shares we-re described in a bill which I have re ived. I also found 10 more shares in the Sambre and Meuse, running from 26,523 to 26,532, which were not included in the bill; also what appeared to be a Spanisb Bond, numbered 3.600. I found also a large sill, purse, containing 73 sovereigns. There are besides, t. 501. Bank of England note, numbered 11,037, and dater 9th Nov., 1848; six 10/. notes, five of which were dateo 11th June, 1849, and numbered consecutively 67,372. 67,373, 67,374, 67,375, and the other is dated 4th Nov., 1848, and numbered 78,378; also another Si. note, dater- 13th July, 1839, and numbered 20.057. I also found counterpart, apparently, of a luggage-ticket, dated London-bridge Terminus, 13th Aug. There is also s ticket dated the 14th, from London to Newcastle, lot excess of luggage. (These, and various other articles and papers, were produced by the witness.) She was locked up, us I stated. I saw her in the course of the evening, to see if she was comfortable; and I ad dress( d her as Mrs. Manning, to which she did not object ; and I asked her where het husband was, and if he was iu town. She said she knew nothing of him; that she came off from London on Saturday when he was out; that he used her very ill, had maltreated her, and threatened to murder her, and had pursued her with a knife, and that she was verz much afraid of him. She then said " I came away on Saturday, wishing to get rid of him." She said she hao driven to the Loudon-bridge station, where she had left a part of her luggage, addressed "Mrs. Smith, passenger to Paris ;" that she :had then driven to the Euston square station, and that she had (slept in the neighbourhood of the station all night (she described the place, but I could net exactly undeastand her descrip tion), and she came off the following Tuesday morning by an early train, and had come on to Newcastle ; that she remained in a house there all night, the locality of which she also attempted to scribe); that she was taken to the house by two females who slept in the ad joining room to her. On he next day she spoke in term:. of the highest gratitude of O'Connor, sa3ing that he had acted the part of a father to her; that she had last seen him on the Wednesday; that he came to her - house in the evening under the influence of liquor; that she expected him to dinner on the Thursday, and that she was surprised at his not coming; that she went to his lodgings to ascertain the cane of his absence, and that he was not at horn. ; that she went again on the following day (Friday), but st e did not hear any tidings of him. In reference to the money in her possession, she said " It is my own, m) husband wants to get it from me, and that is the cause of our quarrel. O'Connor advised me to invest it in scrip, part of which is that which you have found." She then said, that in consequence of the quarrel O'Connor recommended her to call on a Mr. Stephens, or Mr. Stevens, a stockbroker, that she did call, and the scrip in uuestion was purchased for her by Mr. O'Conno,'s directions. She was brought before the po lice magistrates in Edinburgh. When she was told of the charge, she said " I am innocent, and have nothing further to say." On Thursday I left Edinburgh in com pony with the prisoner, at half-past eleven in the forenoon. and arrived in London by the train at half-past four next morning. I mid :state that I found also a certificate of marriage between Frederick George Manning and Maria De Roux. She said nothing to me worth remem beriog on the journey to London. I saw no marks or stains on any of the articles I found. She ex plained the reason of her leaving the luggage at the London-bridge station, by saying that she was iv doubt whether she should go to Edinburgh, or to Paris and inform her friends of Manning's cru e l t reatment of her, but that she ultimately decided upon going to Edinburgh. Mr. Edwin, the clerk, then read over the testimony of Mr. Moxey and the three other witnesses, to which they severally attached their signatures ; and they were bound over, iu the ordinary way, to prosecute the prisoner at the next session of the Central Criminal Court. Mr. Edwin then intimated to the persons present that the prison( r stood remanded until Thursday next, at 12 o'clock, when the examination of the witnesses would be rebum, (1. This had the t fleet of clearing the court of a few of the spectator', but they were so closely packed together that an open passage for the prisoner to get through could not be obttlined, aril the officers were compiled to force their way through the crowd with the prisoner. The van being in readiness she wa; speedily conveyed beyond the prtcincts of the court to her destination, Horst monger-lane Gaol, and the erewd in and about the court soon dispersed. It may be mentioned that t, he prisoner's attire con sisted of a black silk dress, a black satin visite, ecked with silk lace, a straw bonnet very plainly trimmed with a white, pink mil green-coloured silk riblin, a black lace veil, and a small white collar. The statements which have already kh-tn put forth that she is a fir.e built woman, has a good figure, and is possessed o f a lady-like appearance are entirely without foundation. On the contrary, she appars to have an almost masculine figure, and to be possessed of con siderable strength. Her brow is large and heavy, and her face, which is long and broad, and scarcely feminine, has, altogether, a coarse and vuLar appearance. There is nothing whatever in her person which would lead a casual ob:ierver to think she is a fur.•igner. Her self-possession was most rtmitrk.Able when is is taken into cotiside•retion that the air in the court was very confined, and also the tact that she was the " ob served of all oh_ervers," and that every eye was fixed upon her during the whole of the proceedings. She stood •the whole time Crum one Gill half past three), leaning lightly upon the dock, having refused to take a chair. Scared) a❑ emotion was visible in her coun tenance from the beginning to the end of thu tedious examination ; but 14 slight tremulous shake ut her body, as she stood, was observed by one or two persons. Beyond that, however, nothing could be seen which indicv t,,d that she was other then quite com posed. She had her veil drawn over her face, and did hot once :iit it up. On being asked if she wanted any waver, she shook nil. Lead and " No." THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 31, 1.849 MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the L:ftdon .New Price Current, Aug. 30.)

The preparations fur the ascent having been perfectly concluded, end the supply of gas abundant, our intrepid countryman ordered the bolding tackle to be cast off at half-past six in the evening. and rose majesti cally and steadily in the air, amidst the applause of an ;mtnenSe mass of spectators. Mr. Coxwell was aCethln panied by two gentlemen of Berlin, and by an deve anxious to be raised still higher. The party appeared very joyous, but did not forget to keep up their courage by drinking the health of Berlin in champagne ss they rose. Mr. Cuxwell having arrived at a cer tain distance, let drop a parachute, to which was at Cached a basket containing a rabbit, which landed safely near the Berlin and Potsdam Station. The balliton took the direction of that place, and would have arrived there with rapidity, but Mr. Coxwell, in order to give proofs of his skill, let off a portion of gas when halfway, descended, landed one of his travelling companions, rose again, and continued his voyage, which he accomplished with per feet ease and security in the immediate vicinity of Pots dam. The aeronaut added to the satisfaction of the mul titudes by throwing out printed papers, containing some complimentary verses to the city, in which they were ruly told that it was the first. time that a poet had ever addressed them from the clouds.
