By Jour( HARVEY, M.D., 9, Brook-street, Grosvenor-square. Showing an Increase in one year of Amor , the incidents which have tended to the advance ment of the Royal within the last lew months may be reckoned its a. tion with respect to the losses sustained by the explo sion of the Lotty Sleigh. which although on y consistent with the general tenor of the conduct of the Company, and ulti mately proved to be no more than what had been done in tor titer times by the o'dest and most proverbially hon-nrable among its contemporaries, yet attracted attention and public favour by its unhesitating promptness. As the largest tot d. of Revenue and the largest rata) of progression have been attained In the present year, so it happens that the largest Profit which it has ever 'alien to the Directors to recnrd has likewise on this occasion to be an nounced. The ba'ance of net profit on theyear has amounted to £83,515 • of which sum £34,100 only has been appropriatet to Dividend and Bonus, and the large balsa e of £49,444 been carried to Reserve. LIFE BRANCH. The progress of the Life Branch, as shown by the New Business transacted in tke last year, is moat promising, and the advances made, year by year, in the amount of New In surances effected, sh•lw clearly the estimation in which the Company is held. The following is a statement for the last five years : Net Sum Assured on New Policies after deducting Guarantees. Net Premiums. 1859 1860 1861 1862 1863 This rapid growth, amounting to 73 per cent. on the Sum Assured, and upwards of 80 per cent. on the Premium re ceived in the course of five years, may justly be considered as larger than any which could have been reasonably expected. The first half of the current year 1864, however, far outstrips the ratio of increase indicated by th figures just quoted, as the sum assured for that period of six months only actually exceeds Half-a-Mil ion sterling. The rate of Mortality, likewise, si presents hghly favour able 'features, and augurs well for t t ll he result to i be shown by toe quinquennial investigation, which is to take place when the present year is concluded.

Thursday is more devoted to the sale of blood stock in the Horse Fair than racing; at least a good portion of the day is appropriated to it, and the sport on the moor com mences an hour or two later in consequence. The Sheffield Lane stud, Mr Cookson's yearlings, as well as Lord Derby's, came under Messrs. Tattersall's hammer this morning, and some of them realised very high prices, Mr Cookson's were a very even lot, and averaged nearly £350 a piece. The Sheffield Lane, too, commanded here and there a high figure; among them a very fine Rataplan filly which went for 700 guineas, and Bounty, a powerful Newminster and showing quality as well, which was knocked down for 500 guineas. Among Lord Derby's was an extraordinary fine colt by Stockwell—Ranee, with more the look of a three-yr-old than a yearling, and which after a keen competition was secured by Count Battioyany for 1,020 guineas. The sales were numerously attended, and most of the leading members of the racing world were grouped round Messrs. Tattersall's rostrum. The Portland Plate is the important item of the Thursday, and is one of these objectionable affairs, a little beyond half a mile, the aim and obj pct of which is gambling and nothing else. It generally, too, entails a vast tax on the patience and temper both of actors and spectators, and sees the up setting of the favourites by some wretched outsider, who, ridden by a jockey not troubled with many scruples, gets off in front, and sets authority at defiance, On this occasion, after the usual delay and bad start, the race,which was won by Persuasion, was signalized by an accident that cost Lord Stamford the loss of a valuable mare, Flying Fish, and severely injured Howarth the rider of The Cobbler. Before they got 200 yards Fiying Fisb crossed her legs and fell, breaking her thigh in so doing, and con. sequently had to be immediately destroyed. The Cobbler, who was immediately behind, fell over her, and, as we men tioned, so severely injured his jockey, Howarth, that he had to be conveyed into town; French, the rider of Fly ing Fish, escaped with a shaking; Woldga, who had ran second in this race, ran also for the Cleveland Handicap, the next one, and succeeded this time in first catching the judge's eye, defeating Twilight cleverly by a neck. There was an exciting contest between Wild Agnes and Victorious in the Eglinton Stakes, where. with 31b and the sex's allowance in her favour, the mare won a fine raco by a neck, after making the whole of the running. There was of course a great falling off in the attendance, but the day was delightfully fine. Prince Humbert, who arrived here on Tuesday after noon, was present on the stand during the whole of yester day, accompanied by the Marquis D'Azeglio, the Italian Minister, and his suite. His Royal Highness, who seemed to take considerable interest in the great race, took his de parture for York this morning.

They ran thus for 200 yards when the latter, crossing her legs, fell, and in doing so broke her leg, and The Cobbler, who was immediately in her track, came over her and also fell, seriously injuring little Howarth. This mishap distributed the leaders, who on coming round the bend were headed by Persuasion, a couple of lengths in whose rear were Woldga, Lytham, Narbonne, and Lyra, but on reaching the distance the leader came on with a commanding lead, which she retained to the end, and won in the commonest of canters by half adozan lengths,Woldga defeating Lyra by a neck for second, Vandervelde was fourth close up, Tooi Tooi fifth, Syren sixth, and Crytheia next. The next lot were Gem of the Sea, Dolphin, and Exquisite.

He prefaced his motion by disclaiming all personal feeling in the matter, and said the only reason for hie taking the course he had done was that in a matter which, according to his opinion, affected the honour, the credit, and the prestige of the cor poration of London, it was a duty which devolved upon this Court to take means to prevent proceedings of a similar character from again taking place. (Hear.) Tho worthy alderman then proceeded to state that ho held in his hand three warrants for the payment of the respective sums of £25, £5O, and £270, which money had been expended by the Guildhall Improvement Committee for breakfast, enter tainments, and for an excursion in the Maria Wood, and he said he felt assured that when the committee in question was appointed the court hal not the least idea that they had delegated to it the power of expending so large a sum of money for such objecrs—(hear, hear) —he would therefore propose as a resolution for the adoption of the court that it was their opinion that these several sums had been expended for purposes not contemplated by it, and that in future no such expenditure should be made by any committee without the sanction of this court. (Hear, hear.) The only question, as it appeared to him, was whether, under the several orders of reference having relation to the work that was entrusted to this c:mmittee, they nets tug -- 4- -e...“ 1 "'" v " ^ "'" in the way they had done, and it appeared to him that those clearly did not authorise any such expenditure. (Hoar, hear.) The committee had thought fit to give an entertain • ment upon the occasion of the laying of the first stone of the roof, to have breakfasts and other entertainments, and also to have a trip up the river in the Maria Wood, and they had expended £340 of the City's cash upon these ob jects, which, it appeared to him, had never been sanctioned or contemplated by the court when the committee was ap pointed. He had no wish to enter into any further details, or to say anything that was calculated to give offence to the committee, or any member of it. The money was gone and could not be got back--(" hear, hear," and a laugh) —but he hoped the effect of his resolutionewwwasaosulodnebeotfo t h e prevent com m such e a thing from occurring in future. other Mr JOHN KFLDAY, the chairman of the Guildhall Im provement Committee, seconded the resolution, and he at the eamo time said he felt obliged to the worthy alderman for bringing the matter before the court, and that the explanation he had given to him on the subject justified him in taking t h e course of seconding his motion.

Mr RIJDKIN wished to ask the hon. member whether he was not one of the party whojoined in the trip in the Maria Wood and in the other festivities of the committee, (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) Mr RICHARDSON admitted that 1, -e was, but said that this had nothinn to do with the queation, lie was induced to take a share in the enjoyments that were provided by the representation of the chairman that there was a fund to pay for them irrespective of the city's Cash. Alderman WATERLOW said that after what had taken place ho hoped he might be allowed to state, in explain• tion, that the warrant for the largest sum that had been paid, namely, fOr £270, was signed by the hon. member who had just addressed the court. (.. roar of laughter.) Mr RICHARDSDN said that this was true, but he had acted under the responsibility of the chairman of the com mittee. _ . Mr FRICKE& said be had alwa ys been opposed to the principle of special committees expending money in enter tainments without the sanction of this court, but he could not help saying that he thought the present proceeding was rather an extraordinary pantoccitne, and, that one of the members of a committee who had partaken of all the festivities and enjoyments that had been provided, and, no doubt, to his great delight, sho u ld t urn roun d and endeavour to clear himself by kicking his chairman.

The American Peace Negotiations, The New York papers take from the Richmond Examiner the following despatch by the Confede rate Secretary of State in regard to the Sacqueas and Gilmore mission to Richmond, and the peace negotiation at Niagara Falls :-=. CIRCULAR.. ' Department of State, Richmond, Aug. 25, 1854. Sir,—Numerous publications which have recently ap peared in the journals of the United States on the subject of informal overtures for peace between the two Federations of States now at war on this continent, render it desirable that you should be fully advised of the views and policy of this Government on a matter of such paramount import ance. It is likewise proper that you should be accurately informed of whit has occurred on the several occasions mentioned in the published statements. You have heretofore been furnished with Copies of the manifesto issued by the Congress of the Confederate States, with the approval of the President, on the 14th June last, and have doubtless acted in conformity with the resolution which requested that copies of this manifesto should be laid before foreign Governments. " The principal sentiments and purposes by which these States have been and are still actuated" are set forth in that paper with all the authority due to the solemn declaration of the Legislative Executive Department of this Government, and with a clearness which leaves no room for comment or explanation. In a few sentences it is pointed out that all wo ask is immunity iron, interference with our internal peace and prosperity, "and to be left in the undisturbed enjoyment of those inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, which our common ancestors declared to be the equal heritage of all parties to the social compact. Let them forbear aggres sions upon us, and the war is at an end. If there be ques tions which require adjustment by negotiation, wo have ever been willing, and are still willing, to enter into corm:nu. nication with our adversaries, in a spirit of peace, of equity, and manly frankness." The manifesto closed with the declaration that " we commit our cause to the enlightened judgment of the morld, to the sober reflections of our ad versaries themselves, and to the solemn and •righteous arbitrament of health," Within a very few weeks after the publication of this manifesto, it seemed to have met with a response from Pre sident Lincoln. In the early part of last month a letter was received by Gen. Lee from Lieut.-Gen. Grant, in the fol lowing words 1 . Headquarters Armies ct the United States, City Point, Va., July 8, 1864. General It. E. Lee, Commanding Confederate Forces near Petersburg, Virginia. "General,-1 would request that Col. James F. Jacquess, 73d Illinois Volunteer Infanfry, and J. R. Gilmore, Esq., be allowed to meet Col. Robert Ould, Commissioner for the Exchange of Prisoners, at such place between the lines of the two armies Gs you may designate. The object of the meeting is legitimate with the du' ies of Col. Ould, as Com missioner. " If 'apt consistent for you to grant the request here asked, I would beg that this be referred to President Davis for his action. "Rtquestirg as early an answer to this communication as you may find it convenient to make, I subscribe myself very respectfully, your obedient servant, "U. S. GnANT, Lieut.-Gen. U.S.A." On the reference of this letter to the President ho authe, rised Col. Outd to meet the persons named in G.!n. Grant's letter, and Col. Ould, after seeing them, returned to Rich• mond and reported to the President, in the presence of the Secretary of War and myself, that Messrs Jacquess and Gilmcro had not said anything to him about his duties a Commissioner for exchange of prisoners, but that they asked wfoirththtehpeukrpnooslevloedf knowledge e ee a in n g d o l i n ne , d and under his pass ; that rs, sent with a view of paving al Commissioners authorised approvalt tt p hh h e ee e r y ni w r w i a s President; were sofeoi permission informal a n o f op rc; President meetingt m sa h i l d e a e t in t : theyetof ;L formal messengers, g c c m me a o to negotiate for peace, and desired to communicate to Presi. dent Davis the views of Mr Lincoln, and to obtain the Pre sident's views in return, so as to arrange for a meeting of Commissioners. Colonel Ould stated that he had told them repeatedly that it was useless to come to Richmond to talk of peace on any other terms than the recognised independ ence of the Confederacy, to which they said they were aware of that, and that they were, neverthelees, confident their interview would result in peace; The Preeid..t, on this report of uottsuct veto, determined to permit them to come to Richmond under his charge. On the evening of the 16th July Col. Ould conducted these gentlemen to an h)tel in Richmond, .where a room was provided for them, in ii which th ey were to remain under surveillance during their stay here, and the next morning I received the following letter : " Spotssold Hotel, Richmond, Va., July 17, 1861. " Hon. J. P. Benjamin, Secretary of State, Confederate States of America. " Dear Sir,—The undersigned James P. Jacquess, of Illinois, and James R. Gilmore, of Massachusetts, most re spectfully solicit an interview' with President Davis. They visit Richniond as private citizens, and have no official cha racter or authority ; but they are fully possessed of the views of the United States Government relative to an ad justment of the differences now existing between the North and South, and have little doubt that a free interchange of views bet seen President Davis and themselves would open the way to such official negotiations as would ultimate in restoring PEACE t o t h e two sect i ons o f o ur distracted country. " They therefore ask an interview with the President, and, awaiting your reply, are most truly and respectfully, your obedient servants, " JAS. E, JACQUESS. " JAS. It. GILMORE." The word " official" is underscored, and the word" peace" doubly underscored in the original. After perusing the letter, I invited Colonel Ould to con duct the writers to my office, and on their arrival stated to them that they must be conscious they could not be admitted to an interview with the President without informing me' more fully of the object of their mission, and satisfy me that they came by request of Mr Lincoln. Mr Gilmore re plied that they came unofficially, but with the knowledge and at the desire of Mr Lincoln; that they thought the war had gone far enough; that it could never end except by some sort of agreement; that the agreement might as well be made now as after still further bloodshed; that they knew by the recent address of the Confederate Congress that we were willing to make peace; that they admitted that pro posals ought to come from the North, and that they were prepared to make these proposals by Mr Lincoln's authority ; that it was necessary to have a sort of informal understand• ing in advance of regular negotiations, for if Commissioners were appointed without some such understanding they would meet, quarrel, and separate, leaving the parties more bitter against each other than before ; that they knew Mr Lincoln's views and would state them, if pressed by the President to do so, and desired to learn his in return. I again insisted on some evidence that they came from Mr Lincoln, and in order to satisfy me, Mr Gilmore referred to the fact that permission for their coming through our lines had been asked officially by General Grant in a letter to General Lee, and that General Grant in a letter had asked that his request should be referred to President Davis. Mr Gilmore then showed me a card, written and signed by Mr• Lincoln, requesting General Grant to aid Mr Gilmore and friend in passing through his lines into the Confederacy Colonel JacqueFs then said that his name was not put on i he card for the reason that it was earnestly desired that their visit should bo kept secret; that he had conic into the C(.11- federacy a year ago, and had visited Petersburg on a similar errand, and that it was feared if his name should b:_come known that sonic of those who had formerly met hint in Petersburg would conjecture the purpose for which he now came. Ile said that the terms of peace which they would eff.r to the President would be honourable to the Confederacy; that they did not desire that the Confederacy should accept any other terms, but would be glad to have nay promise, as they gave theirs, that their visit should be kept a profound secret it it failed to result in peace—that it would not bejuot that either party should seek any advantage by divulging the fact of their overture for peace, if unsuccessful I as sented to this request, and then, rising, said, " De I under stand you to state distinctly that you come as messengers from Mr Lincoln for the purpose of agreeing with the Pet • sideut as to the proper mode of inaugurating a formal nego- This interview,connected with the report previously made by Col. Oaid, left on my mind the decided impression that Mr Lincoln was averse to seeding formal commissioners to open negotiations, lest he might thereby be deemed to have recognised the ind:Tondence of the Confedei :icy, and that he was anxious to learn whether the conditions on which alone he would be w:lling to take such a step would be yielded by the Confederacy ; that with this view he had placed his messengers in a condition to satisfy us that they really came from him, without committing himself to any thing in event of a disagree_nent as to such conditions as he considered to be indispensable. On informing the Pre sident thereof of my conclusion, he determined that no question of form or etiquette should be an obstacle to his receiving any overtures that promised, however remotely, to result in putting an end to the carnage which marked the continuance of hostilities. The President came to my office at 9 o'clock in the even ing, and Col, Ould came a few moments later, with Messrs. Jacquess and Gilmore. The President said to them that he had heard from me that they came as messengers of peace from Mr Lincoln ; that as such they were welcome ; that the Confederacy had never concealed its desire for _peace,and_ that he was ready tallear whatever they WU& offer on that ant ject. Mr Gilmore then addressed the President, and in a few minutes had conveyed the information that those two gen tlemen had come to Richmond impressed with the idea that this Government would accept a peace on the basis of a re construction of the Union, the abolition of slavery, and the grant of an amnesty to the people of the States as repen tant criminals. In order to accomplish the abolition of slavery, it was proposed that there should be a general vote of all the people of both Confederations, and the majority of the votes thus taken was to determine that as well as all other disputed questions. These were stated to be Mr Lin coln's views. The President answered that as these posals had been prefaced by the remark that the people of the North were a majority, and that a majority ought to govern, the offer was, in affect, a proposal that the Confede rate States should surrender at discretion, admit that they had been wrong from the beginning of the contest, submit to the mercy of their enemies, and avow themselves to be in need of pardon for crimes; that extermination was prefer able to such dishonour. He stated that if they were themselves so unacquainted with the form of their own Government as to make such propositions, Mr Lincoln ought to have known, when giving them his views, that it was out of the power of the Confe derate Government to act on the subject of the domestic institutions of the several States, each State having exclu• sive jurisdiction on that point, still less to commit the de cision of such a question to the vote of a foreign people ; that the separation of the States was an accomplished fact ; that he had no authority to receive proposals for negotiation except by virtue of his office as President of an independent Confederacy, and on this basis alone must proposals be made to him, At one period of the conversation Mr Gilmore made use of some language referring to those States as " rebels " while rendering an account of Mr Lincoln's views, and apologised for the word. The President desired him to proceed, that no offence was taken, and that he wished Mr. Lincoln's language to be repeated to him as exactly as pos. Bible. Some further conversation took place, substantially to the same effict as the foregoing, when the President rose to indicate that the interview was at an end. The two gen tlemen were then recommitted to the charge of Col. Ould, and left Richmond the next day, This account of the visit of Messrs Gilmore and Jacquess to Richmond has been rendered necessary by publication made by one or both of them since their return to the United States, notwithstanding the agreement that their visit was to be kept secret. They have, perhaps, concluded that as the promise of secrecy was made at their request, it was per tnissible to disregard it. W e had no reason for de3irirg to conceal what occurred, and have, therefore, no complaint to make of the publicity given to the fact of the visit. The extreme inaccuracy of Mr Crilmore's narrative will be ap p•trent to you from the limping statement. Ytm. have, no da uh', seen in the Northern papers an ac count of another conference on the subject of peace, which ..00k p'ace in Canada at about the someday, bz_tweenlll-:ssrs C. C. Clay and J. P. Holccrnbc, Confederate citizens of the highest character and position, and Mr Horace Greeley, of Nev York. acting with authority of President Lincoln. It is deemed not improper to inform you that Messrs Clay and Holcombe, although er.j,,ying in an eminent degree the confidence and esteem of the President, were strictly accu rate in their statement that they were without an authority (rum this Government to treat with that of the United States on any subject whatever. We had no knowledge of their conference with Mr Greeley, nor of their proposed visit to Washington, till we saw the newspaper publications. A. significant coLfirmation of the truth of the statement of Messrs Gilmore and Jacquess, that they came us messen gers from Mr Lincoln, is to be found in the fact that the views of Mr Lincoln, as stated by them to the President, arc in exact conformity with the offensive paper addressed to "whom it may concern, which was sent by Mr Lincoln to Messrs Clay and Holcombe by the hands of his private secretary, Mr Hay, and which was properly regarded by those gentlemen as an intimation that Mr Lincoln was unwilling that this war should cease while it was in his power to continue hostilities.—l am, very respectfully, your obedient savant, J P, BENJAMIN, Secretary of State. llma. Jam.. M. Mason, Commissioner to the U 0 11 111 Lord Stanley in Tipperary. We find in the Freeman's Journal a report of the annual show of the Tipperary Union Farming Society, which was held at Tipperary on Tuesday. Lord Stanley attended the show, and presided at the dinner in the evening. In proposing the toast of the evening, the noble lord reviewed at considerable length the present condition of Ireland. He might be lh ught too sanguine, but he could not bring himself to take a desponding view of the future of Ireland, and especially of that part of it. Recent bad seasons had operated against the farmers, and from all parts of Ireland, especially from the south and west, there had been a continuous outflow of emigration. They had no se curity against the recurrence of bad seasons, and the best course they could adopt was to guard against having too many eggs in their basket, or, in other words', placing too much dependence on any particular crop. (Rear, hoar.) The present year happily was the most prosperous since 1860, and the drought that prevailed had net been half so severely felt in Ireland as in England. If he thought that the drain of the population was to continue for any considerable time, that the country was to become a mere grazing field, and cattle were to take the place of men, he would not be able to express himself hopefully, and as an Englishman he should deeply lament that the empire was deprived of so many stout hearts and strong arms, so much capacity for labour, and the heroic courage which had been tested long ago, and might be required again. But his reading and observation led him to doubt that the tide of emigration would continue to flow at the same rate, and although he knew that a country so vast as America must always attract numbers to its shores, the fact of the war in the United States, where there was a Government expenditure of half a million a day, and the indication of the approaching termination of that tremen dous conflict induced him to believe that when the war ceased the release from the military service of about a mil lion of men would reduce the demand for European labour. Moreover, he saw with pleasure the gradual increase of wages in Ireland, which, as it progressed, must remove many of the temptations to emigrate. As men became abundant in America wages would diminish, as they de creased in Ireland wages would inarease, and thus before long the disparity of wages which existed would be in a large measure removed. This led him to the reflection that the low-paid labour which had been the rule in Ireland was not always cheap, and that the well fed and well paid labourer was likely to do more work than three men dieted and remunerated on the old scale. Ireland, undoubtedly, was a prolifio country. Within the past few days he had seen many cabins, where, alas! the occupants had few of the necessaries and none of the comforts of life. lie might ask why then, if the population of Ireland had fallen off, that of England had increased. The reason was that England was a manufacturing country. lie the Englieh au:cul tural districts the population had also decreased. Thousands had been attracted to the large manufacturing towns. It was a significant fact that theta were about 100,000 Irish living in and around Liverpool, and the calculation was that there were over 800,600 Irish in the manufacturing districts of England and Scotland. People ought in fairness to recollect that. thew figures did not represent a movement from this country as a whole, but only a movement from one part of the empire to another. He for one hoped that the day would be very far distant when an Liebman would not be received with welcome in England, and an Euglielni t en in Ireland, His Lordship referred to the increasing eul'i vation of flax in the south of Ireland as an experirneut which might prove successful, but they should not put their ha.nds further than they could draw them back. With respect to the value of land, he thought it ought to rise here as in England and Scotland. The Irish climate, if damper, was milder; the soil was more fertile, the beauties of scenery more frclueat and remarkable. When the days of violence RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE, EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW. The half yearly meeting of this company was held at Glasgow on Tuesday—Mr 11. Dunlop in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said it was satisfactory to see that the traffic continued to increase; and that they were enabled to recommend a divi dend of 41 per cent per annum. If the traffic continued to increase, they might expect a better dividend, as they were 4 .Lttla Vin, the way of improvement. Their new agreement with the North British Railway Company was now in ac tive operation, and apparently was likely to work well. It was a very simple arrangement, and he thought it would prove satisfactory, and he hoped it would receive the sanc tion of Parliament next session. They had nothing to fear except attacks from some of their aggressive neighbours. He thought for his part the thee had arrived when the main lines of railway might be content with the position they already held. There were few main lines in that dis trict which had not established their position, and their rights to a certain traffic, and ho thought they might be content with that, and with developing the trade of the )nstructing new lines with a view to abe— crane which legitimately belonged to their neighbours. (Hear.) He wished the pressure of the share holders could be brought to bear upon direct ~..\to provant their adopting such an erroneous course. He believed the t a great deal might be done by the shareholders expressing their opinions at meetings of companies against such con duct. It was net like a reduction of the rates, which was a temporary measure from which they might sutler for a time and it would pass away, the public de riving some benefit during the competition ; but when they constructed duplicate lines a permanent evil was created, for all unnecessary expenditure of capital must be a loss to shareholders, while it was no benefit to the public. (Heer Mr WHITE seconded tho motion for the adoption of tho report. Mr J. 111.‘GATIN said he quite agreed with the Chairman in the line of policy he had chalked out as that which ought to gov2rn the great railway companies of the country. Duplicate lines roust ultimately be.a loss to the country, fcr whenever they empended two sets of capital, and employed two sets of men to work that which one set could accom plish, the public would have eventually to pay for them. For a short time ruinous rates might prevail, but they all knew that public companies would not long continue to fight, and the experience of all duplicate lines hitherto had been the same. He believed they were to be invaded by the Cale donian Company in the next session of Parliament. It was said they intended to run parallel lines from Glasgow to Edinburgh ; and, if so, they ought to be strenuously opposed by this company. They had been cajoled by an alliance with that company, and they had at the same time invaded their district. If the Caledonian said they must have a larger share of the traffic between Edinburgh and Glasgow, they must be told that the Edinburgh and Glasgow Com pany must have a greater share of the coal traffic of Lanark shire. Atter some observations by Mr MEIKLEM and ➢ir IVErn as to rumoured attacks from the Caledonian, and as to what the directors ought to do in these attacks, The CiutiumAN said that, with the strong alliance which they had formed with the North British Railway Company, the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company felt they were able to defend themselves, and, if neces , ary, to oppose aggressive neighbours ; but they hoped this course would not be netes• nary, and he thought it would be a great pity if it were. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, and declar ing a dividend for the half-year, at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum, on the ordinary s tock of the company. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. ,S ITTINGBOURNE AND SHEERNESS. The half-yearly general mee:ing of this company was held on Wednesday at the offices, John-street, Bedford-row —Mr L. Simpson in the chair. The report stated that the Board thought it desirable to invite the aid and counsel of some of the leading shire_ holders and creditors of the company, and this led to the appointment of a special committee to consider and propose such an equitable arrangement with all the creditors and shareholders as would put the company into a position to pay a dividend, The committee hnd since Fubmitted such a scheme of arrangement to the Board, it had received their unanimous approval, and was recommended to the shareholders for adoption. The income of the company was largely increasing, and if the pending questions were settled as proposed by the committee, nothing would prevent tho payment of dividends for the future. For the protection of the property in the meantime against legal assailan's, Mr Evans, the company's accountant, had been appointed re the total amount of liabilities being £57,000. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the proprietors on the results of the labours of the committee, which consisted of Mr Baines, M.P., Mr West, who represented Mr Wythes, the contractor and principal creditor, Mr Head, Mr Atkinson, who repre sented the preference shareholders, Mr Hartridgo for the ordinary shareholders, Simpson, the chairman, end Mr Magnus, the deputy-chairman of the company. Aft er m they ,of all had pa r t i succeededes. i, The result sa reconcilingun ly meetings t was that t the Board cdoran fluiccht i h n a ng d e ig d no e t t c ei a i r decided s o : s that all cla'ms on the company must be discharged out of its assets, so as to re move all impediments, in the shape of liabilities, to the future progress and prosperity of the company. He re gretted that they had not been able to come to an arrange.. ment with the War-office and other outstanding questions as to land. It was gratifying to find that, as regarded the increase of traffic at Quecnborough, there had been an in crease for the last six months of 17 ships and 7,000 tons of merchandise. It was proposed to erect suitable machinery there, and when that was done n) doubt the traffic would be doubly developed. Mr MAGNUS seconded the motion. According to the statement of Mr Evans, there were £73,800 of liabilities, £5,000 interest on debentures, and £3,000 interest on pre ference shares—making a total of outstanding liabilities of £87,000, to meet which there were 6,113 shares not issued, lands to be taken by War Department, and other items. Whether these would produce sufficient or not remained to be seen, but the result of the proposed arrangement would be that the company would be out of debt upon disposing of these unissued shares and surplus lands, and any surplus would be available for general purposes. Mr HARTRIDGE congratulated the meeting on the result of the labours of the committee and on the successful way in which they had adjusted the conflicting interests. 11e believed that the preference shareholders would get the whole of their interest, an: that the ordinary shareholders would be placed in a good position. After some observations from Mr Wade, Mr Roche, and others, Capt Dumerquo and Mr S. Bersley were re-elected directors, and Mr W. G. Head auditor. The thanks of tho meeting were then given to the chair man, directors, and officers of the company, and the meeting separated. the ifrro y works .road, naccordance THE NEW ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.—Active opt , . rations have been comm ence d d ar ing the week for the manufacture and sub me rsio n of the new Atlantic tele graph cable.
