A special general meeting of the proprietors of this railway was held yesterday at the Bridge House Hotel, to enable the directors to submit a proposition and obtain authority for an application to Parliament in the ensuing session for an act empowering the con struction by the company of a relief line between the. Lewisham and Dartford stations, on the North Kent Railway. Tee Hon. JAMES BYNG presided, and addreesed the meeting as follows :-Gentlemen—The circular which was issued to you ab :tit a fortnight ago has already fully explained to you the views of the directors as to the proposed relief line between the Lewishatn and Dartford stations of the North Kent Railway. It is, therefore, scarcely necessary for ins now to enter at any great length into the further discussion of the sutjecte A very proper and well-founded jealousy of all extensions and branch lines now prevails amongst railway share holders, in which feeling railway directors also partici pate. Bet it is scarcely necessary that I should point out to you that the particular case which we have now diet to considerdoes not fall within the class of ordinary branches or extensions ;.for it is rather to be regarded in the light of an improvement of your existing railway, and as a mewls of doubling it at that part where the traffic bids fair shortly to outgrow the existing accommodation, if it have not already done so. It comes within the class of stations' improvement and additional works fur the better conduct and safer transit of the traffic which actually exists, as well as for the satisfactory accommo• eation of additional future traffic which is certain to come upon that part of the railway. The proposed relief line, then, being entirely of a different character from those usually submitted to railway proprietors, I trust that your jealousy about extensions will, in this case at' least, be effectually disarmed. Permit me, in a few words, to state the reasons which have induced us te bring this subject now under your notice. It is scarcely necessary ' that I should again remind you that the passenger traffic of the North Rent line is already about the heaviest in the kingdom. In 1855 we conveyed over it not fewer than five millions of passengers, including season ticket holders. Of course by far the largest proportion of this passenger traffic is for shore distances—that is, to and from those stations nearest the metropolis. Thus, iu 1855, upwards of four millions of the whole number 14 journeys on the North Kent line were between London-bridge and those stations on this side of Dartford. It hap pens, therefore, that that part of the railway, espe cially between LonOon and Woolwich, is very much crowded with trains. At particular hours of the day the trains require to be run very frequently, stopping at all stations to take up and set down passengers ; and the population along that part of the line is increasing so rapidly, there is so steady an increase in the number of persons taking up their residences along the railway, travelling to and from London daily f a purposes of business, that we feel it' will be necessary shortly to increase the number of trains at certain hours in the mornings and evenings, with the object of iccreasing the public accominoda ion, and rendering the attrac tive districts of North Keut 'still more convenient to London men of business for the purposes of residence, We have heretofore found that. every increase in the accommodation which we have provided has proved of marked advantage to the company, and we believe that it will be for the interest of the proprietors that we proceed in the same course. In fact, the character of the North Kent line as far as Dartford clearly points out that it eheuld be worked as an omnibus railway (ifel may use the term), in like manner as the present Greenwich line—the trams running very frequently and regularly, and stopping at all stations. But nere a difficulty arises. Teem is, you are aware, other very important traffic con• veyed upon the North Kent line —that from Gravesend, Strood, Maidstone, and other important districts in North Kent. This may be distinguished as the through traffic, and it is desirable that it should be conveyed to its des tination with due despatch, and without being inter rupted or delayed by the stepping trains on that portion nearest the metropolis. Now, since the opening of the Maidstone branch, which has brought a very valuable additional trafficon the North Kent, we have experienced the difficulty of so arrauging the trainees to work them to the satisfaction of both classes of passengers—l mean those travelling a short distance, to and from stations between London and Dartford, and those travelling to and from sta tions beyond Dartford. We were therefore compelled to come to the conclusion that it would be necessary, in Order to afford that proper accommodation which the public has a right to expect from a company that holds iii its hands the railway communications of North Kent—to aeopt measures fur the sepal ation of the through from the short local traffic, in the same manner as has already been adopted on iailways similarly circumstanced. I may men tion the case of the Brighton Railway, where the short trains, as far as Croydon, are separated from the through trains by means of additional lines of rail laid alongside the main line. But we soon found that the very expensive character of the property close adjoining the North Kent line, especially in the neighbourhood of Blackheath teed Woolwich, and the costliness of the works which would be necessary in order to duplicate the present line at those points, rendered this expedient quite impracticable. Another objection was the dui)aeate tunnels which it would be necessary to construct at a very great ex• pense. In addition to these objections was the com paratively unfavourable character cf the curves and gradients on that part of the North Kent Railway, which, although very conveniently laid out as respects the population of the district, and capab'e of being ad vantageously worked as an omnibus line, is by no means well adapted for the safe and expeditious working of a hearer through traffic. We therefore fell back upon the original plan of the North Kent Railway, which wag, as many of you May remember, laid out so that the main line passed direct from Le wisbam to Dartford, with a loop line by way of Woolwich, though on;y the latter part of the line was actually constructed. We are but there fore now bringing before you an altogether new scheme, but are merely reviving a part of the plan of the North Kent Railway, and w Lich was-postponed until the traffic re quirements capabilities of the district had been ascer tamed. We are now of opinion that this important part of the original plan of the railway should be carried out, and that the line between Levrisbatn and Dartford should -be constructed. We see no more ec momical and effec tual mode than this of giving relief to the overcrowded traffic to and from those st stione nearost London, and at the same time of fully developing the valuable sources of traffic, some of which cannot now be undertaken, of and er e cannot be done ju s ti ce t o , i n the district to the eastward of Dartford. Although the - plan of the N , rtla Kent line, which included this revived portion of the system, has already recAved the appro al of the proprietors at three several meetings, in 1846 and 1847, I do not now recommend it to you on thaw ground, but on the ground of its own merits, and that the proper accommodation of the public, and the true interest of the company (which is always to serve the public in the best manner), alike require that it should be constructed, and that without delay. It has been stated that, in proposing to adopt this measure, we have only borrowed the plans of the East Kent Company, which gave notice of their intention to apply for an ant to construct this very line in the last session of Parliament. But nothing can be more incorrect than such a statewelit; for, in point of fact, we are, in proposing to complete this line, merely berro wing from ourselves, and reviving a part of our own original design of the Nor th Kent Railwa y , as p re p ared b y Mr. Robert Stephens", the celebrated engineer, iu 1816 and 1847 ; and, in adverting tee the East Kent Company, I wish it to be understood that at this board no feeling of hostility exists towards that undertaking. We are deal ' rous of making arrangements so that we shall be. able to afford every accommodation for the traffic which they may bring to us, and the formation of the proposed relief line will enable us to do this in the most efficient manner. It would be a very shore sighted policy on our part to at tempt to throw obstacles in the way of that or any other company working into our system; and we have no in tention of doing so. On the contrary, we believe it to be the true interest of this company to afford every facility for the development of the traffic of the Best Kent dis trict, I might also, in advocating the measure now brought under your notice, point to the fact that the proposed relief line will have a-paying traffic of its own, for it will pass through a fine district of country, admir ably adapted for residential traffic, and there is no line of railway ,within a circuit of twenty miles of London through such a country as this which does not, if constructed at a moderate cost, amply remunerate its proprietors. I might point your attention to the map, and show that a wider gap exists in the par ticular district now proposed to be opened up to railway accommodation than exists in any similar district round London. In conclusion, I will add that we have not brought-this subject under your notice without the ma turest consideration. We have, of course, consulted the principal officers of the company, who, I sincerely be- Here, have your interests at heart, and they are unani mous in their opinion ae to the necessity of obtaining powers to construct this relief line. Such are also the views of the directors, and ) I accordingly with confidence Ask your concurrence in the following resolution. Mr. SMITH a sked whether the bo ard had matte effec tive arrangements for raising th e 250,000/. estimated , capital, and from what data the engineer estimated the 'total coat at that sum' Had he consulted the land• owners on the line as to the terms on which they would dispose of the land ? The CHAIRMAN—As to raising the capital, when the Parliamentary power was obtained the company must raise it un the best terms they could. With regard to the estimate the officers of the company bad made the most diligent inquiry, and were satisfied that the line could be constructed for the sum stated. The landown ers were all favourable to the proposed line, which would be constructed principally by the company's own officerso and therefore cheaply. A PROPRIETOR inquired if the board were unanimous in recommending this new line? The CHAIRMAN replied that one member of the board had expressed some objection In the first instance, but the resolution of the director in favour of the line was passed unanimously. . Mr. T. ATKINSON inquired whether the proposal con templated a junction .between the loop line and the Greenwich line, and if so what amount of the 200,0001. was appropriated to that purpose 1 The CHAIRMAN said that such a junction was intended, and the sum set apart for it was 20,000/. Mr. HERAPATH, jun., expressed a doubt of the correct ness of the estimate, and observed that the most expensive mode of construction was by means of the company's own officers instead of by open contract. He wished t• know whether any positive arrangement had been made with the landowners ? The CHAIRMAN answered that that could not be done until the authority of the proprietors for obtaining the Parliamentary sanction to the line had been given. A Paontimoa asked whether the proposed capital time among the families ofiprinces. The marriage of Prince Asialbert of Bavaria with the Infanta Amelia of Spain took place nn the 26th August. This prince is the third brother of King Maximilien 11. The king is married, and has two sons ; it is not likely, therefore, that Prince Adalbert will ever be called upon to wear the eau wn of Bavaria, but it is possible that he may one day become the King of Greece, the throne of a high ie occupied at present by King Otho, a prince of Bavaria, younger brother of the King Maximilian, and the eldest of this King's three brothers. King Otho of Greece, now 41 years of age, has been married for 20 years to a princess of Oldenburg, by whom he has bad nu chil dren. This coroingeecy l was provided for in the conven tion of May 7, 1332, which regulates the succession to the throne of Greece, and which provides that, in the event of the king dying without issue, the crown of Greece should pass to Prince Luitpold of Bavaria, the younger brother of King ()the, and to Prince Adalbert himself, were Prince Luitpold to die without offspring. Prince Luitpold is married and has three eons. It is not then the want of posterity on the part of this prince that could open the eventual rights of Prince Adalbert. But Greece is a constitutional monarchy, and the constitution requires the successor of King Othe to profess the iireek faith. Now, the princes of the house of Bavaria belong to the Roman Catholic faith, and it does not appear that Prince Luitpold is disposed to submit, on this point, to what is presciibed by the constitution of Greece. Prince Adalbert, born in 1828, is 28 years old. The Infanta Amelia, born in 1834, has just entered her 23d year. She is the youngest daughter of the Infant Don Francisco di Pablo, the second brother of the late King Ferdinand VII. The eldest son of the Infant Don Francisco di Pablo married, in 1846, his cousin, Queen Isabella. By his mar riage with the Infanta Amelia, Prince Adalbert has be come brother-in-law to the King and Qieen of Spain. It was on the 9th September that the Grand Duke Frederick of Baden married the Princess Louisa of Prussia. This princess, 18" years old, is the daughter of Prince William, the Prince Royal of Prussia, brother of the reigning King and heir presumptive to the crown, since the King has no children. It is a great alliance for the Grand Duke Frederick. His youngest sister, the Princess Cecilia, who is hardly 17 years of age, is going to be married to the Grand Duke Michael, brother to the Emperor of Russia, Alex ander IL, and she has been already betrothed to him. The Grand Duke Michael is the youngest son of the Emperor Nicholas, and the only one not married. Like his brothers, he takes his wife from a German house ; these sorts of alliances have become habitual with the imperial Russian family, which is already united by strict bonds with the house of Prussia, the royal house of Wurtemberg, an old and illustrious house, with different branches of the house of Saxony, with the houses of Hes. sia, Oldenburg, Mecklenburg, and Nassau. It is well known that the princes and princesses who marry into the imperial house of Russia, and have to reside in St. Petersburg, have to learn thalussian language and adopt the Greets: Catholic religion. This condition obliges them to submit to a supplementary education. This is what the young Princess Cecilia of Baden is doing at this moment, and it is what retards her marriage. They wait until she has been sufficiently instructed to speak to the Russians hi their national language and profess the national religion with a safe conscience. The Grand Duke Michael is 24 years old. The Duke of Ostrogothland, born on the 21st of Jan., 1829, is the second son of the . roigning King of Sweden, the grandson accordingly of King John Bernadotte,- a marshal of the French empire by ttb 'promotion of 1804. The Duke:of. Ostrogothland is about to marry the Princess Sophia of Nassau, whe was born on the 9th July, 1836. This princess is the youngest sister of Adolphus, the reigning Duke of ' Nassau, but Duke Adolphus and the Princess Sophia are not born of the same mother. By her mother, the Princess Sophia is descladed from the royal house of Wurtemburg, and related to the imperial lamily of Russia. It is not the first time that the young dynasty of Kings Bernadotte has formed an alliance with the ancient house of Nassau. Prince Charles of Sweden, eldest son of King Oscar, Prince R. .yel, •heir presumptive to the crowns of Sweden and Norway, married in 1850 the Princess Wdhelmina of Orange-Nassau. the daughter of Prince Fre , terick, uncle to William 111., the reigning King of the Netherlands. By these alliances the royal family of S weden draws nearer to the sovereign houses olNorthern Europe, and strengthens its establishment on the throne of Sweden. The two Princesses Anne and Margaret of Saxony, daughters of King John, were betrothed almost at the same time—the former to the Archduke Ferdinand, Hereditary Grand Duke of Tuscany, and son of the reign ing Grand Duke Leopold 11. ; the latter to the Arch duke Charles Lewis of Ansi*, second brother of the reigning Emperor Francis Joseph. The Princess Anne is 20, the Princess Margaret 16, the hereditary Prince of 'Tuscany 21, the Archduke Charles Lewis of Au•tria 23. The eldest sister of the two Princesses Anne and Mar garet was married first to the Duke of Genoa, bother of the King of Sardinia, by whom she hatl two chi'. dreh. Having become a widow in the month .of F..bruary, 1655, she has .juss been married, again to the Caevalier Rapillo, a captain of infantry in the Sardinian army, The Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany, the future husband of the Princess Anne, is by his mo ther Marie Antoinette of B mrbon, the grandson of the late Francis I , King of the Two Sicilies, nephew of the reigning King Ferdinand IL of Naples, and grand nephew of the Queen Marie-Am:die, widow of L o ui s Philippe. The Duchess of Berry and the Queen Maria Christica of Spain are his aunts. This young prince arrived at Paris, from London, in the latter part of Oc tober. We learn, by the Monitcar of Oct. 30, that he repaired to the Palace of Compiegne, where he arrived on Tuesday, the 28th. The Ai chduke Charles Lewis of Austria is also a very near relative of the royal house of Naples ; his father, the Archduke Francis Charles, who should have been Emperor of Austria in 1818, after the abdication of his elder brother, the Emperor Ferdi• nand, if he had not preferred renouncing the crown in favour of his eldest. son Francis Joseph—ins father, we ray, was the son of the Priucees Maria Theresa of Na ow, sister to the Queen Marie Aunelie.—D.bats. ".T.IIE RATCATCHgIeS DAUGFITER. BOSTON COUNTY COURT—Nov. 12. MABLESON V. BARTON. This was a summons against the defendant Barton for the payment of 3.3. ed., for an alleged catching and destruction of vermin on the defendant's premises. Barton They never caught aoy rats in my place, not a sir gle one, I can undertake to say. A. young woman Stepped for ward to support the Judge—Who is this? Is this the ratcatcher ? ' Bart.n—No, your Honour, that's the ratcatcher's daughter. (A laugh.) The Judge—Well; I've heard a great deal about that celebrated character, but I never had the pleasure of seeing her before. (Renewed laughter.) Can she prove that the claim is just; if not, I will postpone the case till next court, that:the ratcatcher himself may appear. Postponed accordingly. A letter from Altenbourgh (Saxony) of the Bth, in the Gevinan Journal of Frankfurt, says :—" The Grand Duebess Constantine arrived here yesterday with her two daughters, Olga an.l Wera. Her Highness will remain here some weeks on a visit to the reigning family." I MON SHIPBUILDING AT (,LIVERPOOL.—LIVERPOOL, Nov. 13.—Thie morniag Mr. John Laird, the eminent iron shipbuilder of this port, launched from his Liverpool yard the sailinc , ship William Fairbairne. She is 1,310 tons burden, belongs to Potter, Brothers, and Co., Liver pool, and is intended for the Calcutta trade. She is one of the strongest iron vessels ever built, having, in addi tion to other requirements, a number of extra fasteningF. On Saturday, the 15th, another iron ship of 1,100 tons will be launched from Mr. Laird's old Birkenhead yard. She is to h., called the Kirkham, belongs to Mr. W. T. Jacob, of Liverpool, and has been built for the Calcutta trade. There two vessels will be the last launched at Mr. Lnird's old building yards, as his establishments will in future be concentrated at his new works, Monk's ferry. • DESTRUCTION OF A BRIG It v FIRE.—The brig Forrester, Capt. Amiss, of Sunderland, from St. Petersburg, with a cargo of deals, while lying at anchor on Tuesday morning i❑ the river, in Long Reach, was discovered to be on fire. The crew, finding they were unable to ex tinguish the flames (the fire, it was supposed, was caused through the overheating of the cabin flue), slip ped her anchor and drifted her down with the ebb tide as far as Northfleet, where she was put on a bank on the Essex shore, with the object of scuttling her at the flood ; this, however, had not the desired effect, for at high water sbe was not covered, and as the tide receded the fire gained the ascendancy, and by Wednesday even ing the brig was burned down to the water's edge. The crew WAS saved, but lost all their clothes. HYDROFFIOBIA.—A month ago a man bitten by a mad dog was a.diuitted to the general hospital at Madrid. On the morning of the 6th inst. he became very violent, and, having by a strange imprudence, been allowed free range of a tenanted ward, he threw himself upon his fel low patients and biteeveral of them, as well as two nuree. The Hereford Journal says :—" During the past fort night the health of Sir R. Price, Bart., M.P., has been of a more satisfactory character, and by the advice of his . medical attendant he has been removed to Brighton, where, when weather permits, ho is able to benefit by carriage exercise in the pure atmosphere of the sea coast. There is, however, no probability of Sir Robert being sufficiently restored to permit his resuming lie duties in the Housp of Commons.`' .

WEST FLANDERS. The usual half•yearly meeting of this company ryas held yesterday at the offices of the company in Moor gate-street. The report„ from which we extract the following, was unanimously agreed to:— _ _ _ "The receipts of the whole line from the Ist of January 1 to the 30th of June last exceed those of the corresponding period by 6921., while the expenditure amounted to 14,018/. against 13,6121. in the same period, which is explained by I the increased mileage open. The aggregate length of the , lines is now 71 mites, and they are worked at a cost of somewhat less than 2_o/. per mile for the half-year. The balance of receipt over expenditure is 2,853:, which, added to the balance in hand, the Government guarantee, and other small matters—and providing for the fixed charges on the revenue—will enable the directors to declare a dividend of 2s. 3d. per share, and leave, a ba lance of 80/. The directors have app:ied the interest on the preference stock briought up under the resolution of the general meeting of the 7th of last November, in pur chasing some of the company's shares, and have em ployed the dividends accruing from them in the same manner, so that the number of shares now hel t in trust for the company amounts to 51) preference and 200 original shares, and a further purchase of 35 original shares has since been made. The dividend of 2s. 3d. per share will be declared at the meeting at Bruges on the 10th inst., and will be paid at the offices of the company in London or Bru , es on and after the 27th rust. The r e p ort o f Mr. Chan trell, the resident director, states that the receipts on the old line, from Bruges to Courtrai , am ounted to • 219,335 f. (9,9731.);• on the new lines, from Courtrai to Poperinghe, 141,127 f. (5,645/4 ; and, from Ingelmunster to Deyr:ze, 31,322 f. (1,2531.); together, 121,781 f. (16,871). Compar ing the receipts on the old line with those of the correspond ing period of 1855, an increase of 536 f. (211.) is shown, while, on the Courtrai and Foperingbe line there is a de crease of upwards of 500/. arising from passenger and mer chandise traffic, but since June the traffic has improvel. The balance due by the Belgian Government for the year 18,55, of 131,311 f. (5,2321.) was duly received and accounted, for. The company's claim on the guarantee for the first six months of 1856 is 170,176 f.

The following paragraph appears in the Ladies' Journal of Saturday last : " We are reqtiested to correct an error which appeared in this paper of the 18th October, wherein it. was stated that the original letter of the poet, of date the 25th June, 1796, to his friend Mr. Clarke, therein published, was in the possession of Robert Napier, Esq., of Glas gow. This is a mistake. Mr. Napier's copy is not the original letter, which belongs to, and is in the possession of, James .13ay, Esq., Leith, who has kindly sent it to us for inspection, and about the genuineness of which there cannot be one moment's doubt."

A small pilot ' No. 1, was in steam standing near to the work shops, and shops, and according to the best accounts that can be gathered, the pressure was at 60, and the engine was blowing off steam plentifully. The driver and fireman. had been off the engine about a quarter of au hour, t e e n r:d i a: and the fireman 7Cas in the act of stepping on to the tender, when an explosion took place, and the whole of the end of the flues of the boiler and tubes rushed through the fire-door, and crushed 'him against the end of the tender. And when what remained of him was dragged ont from the debris, nearly all appearance of hun3anitylad been destroyed by the steam and fire. The shell of the engine was disconnected from the tender by the explosion, and driven with fearful velocity down the li n e. In its flight it came in contact with another engine, also in steam, and, springing up, drove one of its wheels into the smoke-box of the engine ; but it fortu. nately did not injure the boiler, else another, and pr - bably more fearful explosion must have taken place. The shell of the pilot engine then toppled over, and the machinery seems to ge totally destroyed. The engine the shell ran into is very much injere.i, and the whet of the pilot engine, which was left in its smoke box, is nearly all broken to pi( ccs. The name cf the unfortu nate fireman was Joseph Percy. He was a young man. The ruins of the engine bad been examined by Mr. Lundy, the manager of the line, this morning, but no cause, so far, can be assigned fer the explosion. The end of the tube plate hai come away at the rivets, but the plate appears to have been sound. An inquest will be held on the bony of Percy this afternoon. BANKRUPTCIES ANNULLED.
