THE WAR. COURT MARTIAL ON LIEUT. PERRY. RAILWAY TV lELLIGENCE. ' much above those of last year, many of the materials and stores have increased in price to the extent of 50 per cent. The large increase in the proportion Of goods trains over passenger trains has also added to the mileage cost of working. The p roport i on o f goo d s to passen ger t ra i ns is 75 per cent. The length of railway worked had been increased from 434 miles at the corresponding period to 565 miles in the past half , yeXr.

The Colossus, 81, screw-steam ship, Captain Robinson, has completed her rigging, and has nearly all her guns on board. She is fast settling down to her water line, which , liminishes her short appearance. The Malacca screw steam-ship leaves Sheerness to-day for Portsmouth. On her arrival there, should it be found necessary, she will take in 100 tons more ballast. The Malacca is to form part of the squadron ordered to accom pany her Majesty to the Channel Islands previous to her , leparture on particular service. BRISTOL AND EXETER. The 36th half-yearly meeting o f this company was held yesterday at Bristol. Mr. J. W. Butler, the chairman of the company, presided. _ . The CHAIR MAN said that on the present occasion the increase of their receipts was considerable ; but that in crease was principally attributable to the opening of the Yeovil branch, and the consequent extension of the mile age of the company's lines. There were on this occasion ne particular circumstances which would account for a more than ordinary increase of revenue. The country was not in any state of particular prosperity ; there had been no great impulse given to trade which would in crease the tolls on the goods traffic ; there had been no inducement held out to passenger traffic ; they had no Great Exhibition and no camp at Chobharn. He felt, therefore, they might safely attribute the large increase which had taken place on the main line and on the branches previously opened to the resources of the line itself, as the progress of time allowed them t o b e gra dually developed. With respect to a portion of the capital account—the construction account he believed— there were many railway authorities who thought the construction account of a rail way could not be On this he would not venture to offer any opinion. He concluded by moving that the report be received and adopted. Mr. HILL seconded the motion. The report having been unanimously adopted, A dividend of 2i per cant. was declared to the 30th June, 1854, payable on the 15th September. A resolution was moved, and adopted after some dis cussion, to the effect that the directors be anthoiised to apply to Parliament for the purpose of raising addi tional capital, and for other purposes, and that a special meeting be called to decide on the amount.

The principle of the bore is altogether a secret. The effect of the discharges we described in yesterday's Sun. The firing of so heavy a charge of powder and shell has severely tried the seams of so comparatively small a vessel, and some re-caulking and other defects have had to be made good. There has been some grumbling about the vessel having been sent from Woolwich in an unfinished state. There is, however, scarcely so much time to finish work at Woolwich now as there was in the piping times of peace; and when it is considered that not an inch of timber was sawn for the construction of the Arrow only four months since, the world must say it is wonderfully " go ahead" to have six such ships afloat at this time, and one of them actually trying experiments with the largest and heaviest gun that is used for ships' armaments. The Beagle, screw steam despatch gun-boat, Lieutenant- Cominauder Hore, the second of the gun-boats fitted with engines of 160-horse power, by Humphrys, Tennant, and Dykes, had her steam up to-day for the first time in the basin at Woolwich, and they worked very satisfactorily un der the superintendence of Mr. Dykes, one of the partners of that firm. She has her two 68-pounder oval guns, mounted on traversing platforms, on board, and a large supply of spheric d shot and shells for serving them, the latter adapted for Moorsom's fusers, fur the firing of which these oval gnus appear to be well adapted when the practice is car ried on at long ranges. The Wrangler, screw steam despatch gun-boat, Lieut.- Commander Risk, is progressing fast towards completion in the basin at Woolwich, and her engines, by Mandalay, Sons, and Field, fitting under the superintendence of Mr. Joseph Maudslay, are in so forward a state that the Wrangler has been placed under orders to leave Woolwich for Greenbit he on Saturday, the 26th instant, to have her compasses adjusted, and will then proceed to Portsmouth, to have her guns tested in the presence of the officers of the t xcellout, gunnery-ship at that port. The difficulty which was at first experienced to meet the requirements of the new high and low placed boilers in these gun-boats has been obviated, and they are now said to work well. A court-martial was held yesterday on board the flag ship Victory, in Portsmouth harbour, to try Mr. William John Webster Yelland, Second-Master of the steam gun boat Arrow, on charges of disrespect and contempt towards his commander (Lieutenant Jolliffej, and for disobedience of orders. The charges were proved. The prisoner made no defence, and was sentenced to be dismissed from her Majesty's service. ANOTHER SCREW MAN-OF-WAR. -The Mars, 80 guns, sister-ship to the Colossus, is ordered into dock at Chatham, to be fitted with a screw-propeller and 400-horse power engines. TRIAL OF THE HARRIER. The new screw sloop Harrier, 16, Commander H. A. Story, was taken out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning to try the working of her engines, which are by Humphrys, Tennant, and Dykes, for the first time after being fitted. She proceeded to Spithead, thence to Cowes roads, thence to the Nab-light, and afterwards to Portsmouth har bour. She was very much out of trim for a fair trial of the powers of the engines, being at least four feet six inches by the stern. Notwithstanding, her speed, with this dis advantage, was nine knots and upwards per hour; her en gines made 103 revolutions per minute, at which she kept steam easily at 201 b. The engines are of 100-horse power; the indicated power was 392, and the vessel is a very beau tiful model of 810 tons. ARRIVAL OF ADMIRAL COCHRANE AT COWES. Vice-Adiuiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.B. (Comman der-in chief), Lady Cochrane, and flag Lieutenant Hanky, in the Fanny yacht, with the naval exercising brigs Sea lark and Rolla, arrived at Cowes on Wednesday from the Channel Islands, and went into PortsmJuth harbour yester.lay, when Sir Thomas's flag was re-hoisted on board the Victory on his leaving the yacht. ADMIRALTY CONTRACTS. The Lords of the Admiralty are now engaged taking up transports .at 20s. per ton, to replace those now in tho Black Sea, used in the transport of troops, and which are now hired at the rate of 30s. and upwards per ton the calendar month. This arrangement will effect a. consider able saving. The Admiralty have issued contracts for 24,000 tierces and 12,000 barrels of beef, and 35,000 tierces and 20,000 barrels of pork, to be sent into her Majesty's victualling stores. ROYAL MARINES. Lieutenant Mudge, 1 sedeant, 1 corporal, 1 drummer, and 24 privates of the Woolwich division of Royal Ma rines, including the men of the Royal Marine Artillery, from Portsmouth, were marched yesterday from their bar racks, headed by the band of the division to the dockyard station of the North Bent Railway, for conveyance to Strood, en route to Chatham, to join for service iu the Cossack, 21, screw steam-corvette, fitting for sea at that port. ROYAL ARTILLERY. Captain Gibbons's company, 12th battalion, with a nine pounder field battery, assembled yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, at Woolwich, in service marching order, with camp equipage, and proceeded to Bexley-heath to encamp there for the day. The men were supplied with their day's rations, and 25 rounds of ammunition per gun were served ont previous to marching. Draughts of the 14th Foot, 60th Rifles, and 57th Foot have arrived at Cork to embark in the Mauritius for con veyance to Turkey. The 54th Foot, 66th Foot, 71st Reserve Battalion, and 72d Regiment of the line, now in Canada, are ordered home. Agreeably to a route received from the Quartermaster- General's office, Dublin Castle, the remaining troops of the King's Dragoon Guards will leave that garrison in the fol lowing order, viz.:—Captain Slade's troop will march from Portobello barracks on Saturday, the 26th inst., to Dun and Capta i n S ayer ' s troop, under the command of Major dalk, en route to Edinburgh; the head-q uar t ers, staff, band,o Briggs, will march from Portobello barracks on Monday, the 28th inst., to Dundalk, en route to Edin burgh ; the dismounted men and casualties will follow on Tuesday, the 29th inst. A detachment of the 62d Regiment, consisting of 150 rank and file, under Major Buokinghain, left Belfast on Tuesday per railway for Cork, where they will embark for Tut key. During the present month 95 recruits have been attested at the Belfast police-court. On Tuesday morning 22 men of the 13th Regiment, under command of Captain Lynch, left.Clonmel by special train for Cork, to join the service companies at Malta. A draught of the 92d Highlanders, consisting of throe sergeants and 70 rank and file, under the command of Lieutenant Leith and Ensigns Parkinson and Nowell, which arrived from Reif ist on Tuesday, left Dublin on Wednesday morning by the 10 o'clock train for Cork, there to await embarkation to join the service companies at Gibraltar. If we may form a judgment from the number of com munications we receive upon the subject, the case of Lieut. Perry is likely to remain as one of the chief "topics" of , the recess. It would be needless for us to say that our own sentiments are perfectly in accordance with those of our correspondents upon the treatment which this young gentleman has received at the hands of his brother officers. The prosecutions have been a disgrace to the British army, discreditable in their origin, and from the spirit in which they have been conducted. The report is rife in Windsor that if this second prosecution should break down—as break down it certainly will, if there be one spark of jus tice left in tho breasts of the military judges—a third is in contemplation. Delenda est Carthago ;—" We'll smash Perry yet," are the precise words attributed to the most malevolent of his persecutors. The idea seems to be that he can be put upou his defence a third—we may say a fourth—time, for having charged the witnesses upon the late trial with " combination," and some of them with perjury. There would not, indeed, be much subject for regret if these points could be fairly tried by a competent tribunal, and no longer before one of these courts-martial, which appear intended as practical proof of how ridiculous the forms of justice can be made. Were it possible to consign the Fyffes, and Campbells, and Nicholases, and Curtises, and Waldys—and, above all, the venerable Garrett himself—to the persuasive finger and thumb of the Attorney-General or of Sir Frederick Thesiger, with such a judge as Mr. Justice Erle or Mr. Justice Cresswell to see fair play on all sides, we might end by knowing something of the proce e din gs o f the gallant 46th. It might be instructive if information were elicited from the witnesses as to the exploits sthich some of their number are said to have performed in Ireland—ay, and even in Windsor the other day, while this inquiry was in progress. We should like to know a little about the general habits of the regiment. If it could be shown that the officers of this corps are pure and un spotted in their lives and conversation, and if they could prove that young Perry was the reverse, we should find it quite natural that theyshould have dropped his acquaint ance. If, on the other hand, it should appear that many of the officers of the 46th are pre-eminently loose in their habits, and that they are unable to fix a similar stain upon the conduct of Lieut. Perry, it is evident that we have agai n n o st t yet arrived at th e t rue exp l anation of the extraordinary combination of w hi c h thi s young officer has been the vic tim. There w as some ot h er reason for the pull him than the one assigned, and that reason —which is the key of the whole position—has not as yet been mastered ; and most certainly never will by the proceedings of any Court-martial conducted as those at Windsor have recently been. 'save any of our readers ever assisted at an investi gation before a military tribunal of this kind? We will endeavour to give them an idea of the same, and of the form of proceeding. At one end of the Infantry Barracks at Windsor, in which the 46th Regiment is at present quartered, and upon the ground floor, looking into the barrack-yard, there is a somewhat long low room, papered with an excessively "seedy" green striped paper—if we remember right—well bedaubed with stainsand spotted with flyblows. This room is the mess-room of the barrack. On the floor is a dining table capable of dining 16 persons with comfort, at one end of which sits the President., and down the sides the other members of the Court, seven on a side, in full uni form. There are thrse windows to the President's right, looking, as we before said, into the barrack-yard, and in one of these, el me to the President's right, sits a jocular kind of rodfaced man. This is Major Dalgetty, the Deputy - Judge-Advocate. He has before him a little table with writing materials, and a red book—some work on Court-martial law. At a dark corner of the room opposite to him, and close beside the President's left hand, at a little round table, all by himself, as though waiting for a glass of brandy-and -water before starting by the train, the official prosecutor is to be found. At the end of the long table, opposite to the President, and divided from, it by a few feet, is another small table, at which are seated poor young Perry in uniform, and Mr. Darvill, his legal ad viser. At the window furthest from that at which Major Dalgetty is placed there is yet another table for a couple of reporters, who are taking notes and growling into each other's ears, as well they may, constant complaints of the atrocity of the whole proceeding. There are two orderly sergeants with their caps on, who are constantly employed in carrying bits of paper about the court, for purposes which we shall presently describe. The room has two doors, one at each end, which may be said practically to open out into the barrack-yard, and in this barrack-yard are lounging a number of the officers of the 46th, who have been called in, or who are about to be called in, or who have been turned out in the midst of their examination, because the Court was cleared,—a n d t there they are all gossipping, with Colonel. Garrett iu the midst of them. The method in which the examination is conducted is this :—Let us suppose that the prisoner wishes to put a question in cross-examination. The witness is standing between the President and the Deputy-Judge-Advocate— so close that he coubl with the utmost facility read any paper that might be in the hands of either of them. The prisoner then writeshis question on a slip of paper,and delivers it to the orderly sergeant near his own table, who delivers it to the other orderly serg6,nt, who carries it to the President. The President looks at it, and may or may not raise a little friendly discussion upon it, in which all persons officially present seem inclined enough to join. But let us presume that he hands it at once to the Deputy-Judge-Advocate. This functionary reads it aloud —but it must not therefore be supposed that the witness is to be incommoded as yet with any necessity for reply. After reading out the ques tion the Deputy -Judge-Advocate quietly takes up his pen, and transcribes it into the minutes with all duo circum spection and attention to calligraphy, and then, and not till then, does he rise from his seat anti read the question out to the witness, much in the same tone he would use if he were asking him to take a glass of wine. We leave it to the experience of all persons who have been connected with the administration of justice to decide what chance there is of eliciting truth upon a system of this kind. The theory which Lieutenant Perry set up in his defence was, that the bulk of the officers of the 46th were in combina tion against him, and that many of them had been guilty of perjury in the evidence they delivered against him either the perjury of assertion or the perjury of forgetful ness. It was with the weapons, and under the circum stances we have deseribed, that he was to trip them into contradiction with themselves, to confound thew with the consciousness of their guilt, and to drag the truth from their white and trembling lips. Even then we have not quite exhausted the absurdities of a Court-martial. It must not be supposed that the Deputy-Judge-Advocate records the answer actually given ; he throws in pronouns and prepositions according to his own fancy. He allows the witnesses for the prosecu tion to alterand amend their evidence a dozen times before it is recorded. He helps a lame dog, so the dog limps on the prosecutor's side, over any awkward stile. The functions discharged by the official prosecutor are perhaps the most anomalous of all ; he frames the questions for the exami nation in chief, and stops the questions for the cross-exami nation ; he makes and enforces his own statutes of limita tion ; nd duties cionuhrit-ns,°::;1•1e pdeiarcsrartgheodsebycotmh; judge, and, jury, ryn which,, fact, t p c ei o nr u f oc u ir s vm e i l ls for the defence, and the coun sel for the prosecution, and win ds uPehaWithn chance e t a h n e r e encomium is of a 'Anent, of which the witness, as paymaster upon the person noffioimpartialityfcialreasonable pe r sou h e e gne has ei ni(ti displayedtwh beaitninquiry throughout.

We verily believe that, despite of all these drawbacks, a h ightainded man—such as Colonel Kelly appears to be —may blunder into a right decision by sheer honesty of purpose and determination to make the right p reva il . ; but was there ever such a plan for arriving at truth as the pro ceedings of a Court-martial ? It is well that the English public should be made acquainted with thes e particulars, for, monstrous as are the disclosures in the evidence, ordi nary readers may not be aware of the difficulty under laboured in extracting ev en th ese few which th e prisoner shreds of truth from the lips of his brother-officors. Under the circumstances of the case, we cannot wonder at the in dignation which the proceedings have roused in the minds of a nation pre-eminently lovers of fair play. I n our impression of yesterday it may be seen that an inten tion is afloat of discharging the cost of Lieutenant Perry's defence by public subscription, and that the Mayor of of Windsor has consented to receive donations for the pur pose. It it is nut once in twenty years that we should take notice of such a proceeding in the leading columns of the Times, but we cannot but heartily wish success to the cause—so disgraceful has been the persecution to which Lieutenant Perry has been exposed.—Times. THIIRSDAY.7SHILLING DAY.—Ad- CRYSTAL PALACE, mi , ison at the doors, 9,949 ; admission by season ticketo, 764, Total, 103711 LLANELLY. The adjourned meeting of thiii company was held yesterday at the London Tavern ; Mr. Biddulph in the chair. The secretary having read the report, Mr. H. L. SMALE, the chairman of the committee, said the Vale of Towy Company were ready to coin mence their line so soon as the works on the Llandilo extension were in operation. If they did not make the extension other persons would take up the line, and the Llanelly Company would he ruined. The extension line might be made for 6,0001. or 7,000/. a-mile, and they were now hanging fire for the small sum of 20,0001. A conversation ensued, in the course of which it was stated tbat a conditional contract for the completion of the extension line bad been entered into with Mr. Peto, by which that gentleman agreed to take 500 of the new 251. shares, and 12,5001. in debentures, in part payment of the contract, which amounted to 50,0001. The com mittee were of opinion that the line might be made for less, and therefore it was suggested that the proposed contract should not be carried out. Ultimately it was resolved to communicate with Messrs. Peto and Betts, requesting. them to modify their contract, and, if they declined to do so, to offer it to other parties. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro ceedings. MIDDLESBOROUGH AND GUISBOROUGH. The half-yearly meeting of this company WAS held •at Middlesborough on Thursday; Mr. Henry Pease in the chair. The report stated that the line was opened for -pas senger traffic on the 25th of February last, and that it was now being doubled. The first guaranteed dividend calculated from the 11th of November last to the 30th of June, was paid on the 12th ult. The statement of accounts showed the receipts of 4 capital account to be 74,078/., and the payments 68,370/. A resolution empowering the directors to borrow 20,0001., to be applied, as far as required, in paying off the amount already borrowed, was also passed, the pro ceedings of the directors in reference to which were confirmed. After some discussion, the resolution was carried, and he meeting separated. DUBLIN AND BELFAST JUNCTION RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this company was held at their office, Talbot-street, onWednesday; John Barlow, Esq., in the chair. The re port of the directors stated that the receipts for passengers and merchandise exceeded those fur the c ►rrespond►ng half-year of 1853 by 1,2071., the passenger returns show►ng a decrease of 5901., which is mainly attributable to the exhibition traffic in May and June having swelled the returns of the former period, and the merchandise Aowing an increase of 1,7961. The report was unani mously adopted. EASTERN COUNTIES. The report of the directors just issued state that the receipts for the half-year ending June 30th, 1854. are 560.4941. The expenditure for the same period is 269,9961., to which have to be added payments to the Norfolk, Eastern Union, East Anglian, and Great Northern Companies to the amount of 102,7351., leaving a balance of 188,6611. to the credit of the East ern Counties Company, subject to payments for pre ferential and mortgage interest amounting to 131,080/., leaving 57,5811. applicable for dividend upon the con solidated stock of the company, out of which the direc tors have declared a dividend of 6d, upon each 201. share, which will leave a balance of 6,5621. to the credit of the current half-year. The directors regret that the result of the half-year's working does not exhibit a greater net revenue, as with an increased traffic the proprietors might, under ordinary circumstances, have looked for a larger return upon their capital ; but, when the peculiar circumstances which have operated upon the expenses of the past had year are fully c msidered, the directors hope that any ground fur dissatisfaction will be removed. The expenses have been increased by the additional price p•iid for coke which the parties under contract with the company were bound to have supplied. The increased rate of wages and the advanced cost of every article necessary to the working of a railway have also materially added to the expenses. The price of many articles had increased fully 50 per cent. ; and the effect of these combined causes has been an increase in the working expenses entirely beyond the control of the board, and by which they have excluded the amount of 46 per cent., at which this company is bound by the agreement with the other companies to work the traffic. The interest payable upon the mortgage debt of the company has been increased by the sum of 7,7381. upon the half-year, arising partly from the increase in the rate of interest, and partly from the augmented amount which has been raised, as detailed in the bond statement. The item of 5,7371. for accidents and com pensation this half-year is also very heavy. It is satisfactory to state that the increased traffic is large, although not to the extent that might have been anticipated. The entire stoppage of the traffic of the line during the early part of the half-year from the severe snow storm, the breach of the coke contracts, and the deficiency of waggon stock, are all causes that have until the present tine acted against the receipts. The manager estimates the loss of traffic from the last of these causes alone at upwards of 7001. per week. The directors, therefore, look forward to a still greater increase in the traffic of the line. Lines in East Suffolk from Ipswich through Woodbridge to Hales- ; worth, and thence to Haddiscoe, have received Parlia mentary sanction, arid the portion forming ajunction with the Norfolk line at Haddiscoe is expected to be opened for traffic to Halesworth, a distance of twelve miles, in October next. It it is expected that the Hackney branches connecting the Eastern Counties line with the North London line, and thus with the new Cattle-mar ket, will be opened for traffic in September next. The Harwich line was opened for passenger traffic on the 15th inst. In concluding toe report the directors ex press their entire confidence in the sound position in which the company is placed by the agreement entered into with the Eastern Union and Norfolk Companies, and are of opinion that with the entire East Anglian dig ; trict under one management, and upon the return of articles of daily consumption to fair average prices, their • anticipations as to the remunerative character of the undertaking will be fully realised. The reportof Mr.Gooch, the locomotive superintendent, states, that there has been a large increase both in the length of railway worked, and in miles run by trains, which increased the gross amount of expenditure ; the increase in the mileage rate of 0'620 pence per mile still further added to the amount of which 0.461 pence arises from the increase in the price of coke. In the items of repairs and renewals there has been a very slight increase; although rates of wages lie, TO be en very • SOUTH DEVON. The half-yearly meetin; of this company was held on Tuesday at Plymouth. Mr. T. %Voolcombe in the chair. The report of the directors states that the disposable balance for the half-year amounts to 13,2621., which it is proposed to appropriate in the following manner : Fixed dividend on the half-shares, 5,0701.; fixed divid en d on the new shares, 2,0301.; a n d a dividen of ss: 6d. per per share on the 501. shares, 5,4871., leaving a balance of 6741. The increase of passenger traffic over the number conveyed at the corresponding period of last year is 14.81 per cent., and in the receipts 7'41 per cent., while that of the goods traffic is 21 . 82 per cent. on the tonnage, and 18'33 per cent. on the receipts. Not withstanding the amount of expenditure which has hitherto attended the improvement of traffic, thedirectors are still of opinion that their continuing to afford the most liberal accommodation to the public will ever be found to be most consistent with the permanent inte rests of the company. The charges of maintenance and repairs have been recently much increased by the high prices of rails, materials, and labour. The works in progress for doubling the line between Newton and Tot nes are expected to be soon completed. Proposals have been made arid are now under consideration for leasing and working the Cornwall Railway by the Great Western, and Bristol, and Exeter, and the South Devon Companies, on such terms as may prove mutually advantageous. The promoters of the South Devon and Tavistock Railway Company have succeeded in obtaininr, an act for the construction of a railway to Tavistocl. The sanction of the shareholders will be required to the proposed subscription of 8,0001. to the South Devon and Tavistock Railway Company. The capital account showed that 2,101,563/. expended, leaving a balance against the company of 14,7031. Tire revenue account fur the half-year showed that 54,8931. had been received, and 31,9481, expended, leaving a balance of 22,9441. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, remarked that they hail a very marked in crease of traffic ; which was followed by a very heavy increase of expenditure. The feeling of the public was generally in favour of exacting the uttermost that could possibly be exacted from rail ways. Notwithstanding this, he believed their true policy was rather to struggle against the difficulties of public opinion, and to endeavour to win the support of the public by constant and increasing accommodation afforded to the utmost extent in their power. On look ing at the statistics of the line for the last three-and-a halt years, it was impossible to deny that they had certainly increased the accommodation to the public to a large extent, and that the public had availed them selves of that accommodation. The increase in the number of first class passengers was from 35,000 to 48,000 ; in tU second class passengers, from 145,000 to 181,500 ; and in the third class passengers from 64,500 to 165,500. The increase in the receipts tor first class pas sengers was from 7,400/. to 9,500/. ; for second class pas sengers, from 15,0001 to 15,300/. ; and in the third class, from 6,000/. to 11,8001. Their best customers were the " million ;" and, if they took care to give plenty of ac commodation to the million, they would find the million their most remunerative supporters. Mr. R. W. STEVENS seconded the motion, and in doing so remarked that there must be some defect in the system adopted with regard to second class passengers, as persons preferred travelling in third class carriages. Mr. BROWN considered all that second class passengers wanted was a cushion. Resolutions in conformity with the report were adopted, and a vote of thanks concluded the proceed ings. LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE. It appears that the balance to be carried over to the reserve fund from the receipts on this line from the last half-year, after payment of the propoved dividend of 3 per cent per annum recommended by the directors, will be between 13,0001. and 14,000/. GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN. The total receipts on this line for the half-year ending the 30th of June last amounted t 0•137,164/., and for the corresponding period of 1853 to 130,7261„ showing an increase of 6.4381. The working expenses amounted to 52,528/ , and exceeded those of the corresponding period of the year 1853 by 10,3601. The proposed divi dend is at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum for the half-year, being one-half per cent, less than at the cor responding period of 1853. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

CORONER'S INQUEST ON THE REV, W. M WILLIS, M.A. Yesterday morning William Payne, Esq., the coroner for Southwark, commenced an inquiry at toe Town-hall, Southwark, into the circumstances attendant upon the death of the 11,v. WIII. M. Willis, M.A., of the University of Oxford, who was killed on Monday on the London and Brighton Railway. The deceased clergy man was curate of H.,r-monden, near Ashford, and way win of Charles Willis, Esq., of Cranbrook. He was formerly curate of Hythe. Mr. Francis Barrow, barrister-at-law, appeared for the relatives of the deceased ; Mr. Church, fur the South- Ea •tern Con,paily ; Mr. Rawlings, of Romford, for Simps , n, the driver of the excursion train ; Mr. Everest, for B fluett and Ktivvett, the driver and fireman of the ballast engine ; and Mr. Faithful, on the part of the Brighton Company. Captain Tyler, the Government inspector, was pre sent, and sat with the Coroner. The Rev. F. T. Scott, vicar of Sibertswold, Kent, identified the body of the deceased. He was 28 years of age. Mr. William Ord, house surgeon of St. Thomas's Hospital, said deceased was brought there a little before three o'clock last Monday afternoon. He was in almost a collapsed state. There were severe bruises about the lower part of the body, and a slight scalp wound at the back of the bead. The lower extremities appeared to be paralysed, denoting some mischief to the spine. Brandy was administered to him, and other expedients resorted to, but be died in a quarter of an hour or 20 minutes. Witness made a post mortem examination, and found that the pelvis was broken into two pieces, both before and behind, and the spines of the last three or four vertebra were knocked off. These, and other injuries he bad sustained, were the cause of death. h e should The C like t C oron er said have that sm a nevidence at th i s stage of sto the th the proceedings nature o f the line. He thought the jury should have some de scription of it. Mr. Robert Jacomb Hood, engineer to the Brighton Railway Company, said he knew the line very well. Travelling up the line the last station before coming to Croydon was Stoat's Nest. That was four miles from the Croydon station. There were several bridges be tween Stoat's Nest and Croydon. The first over bridge was very near the Croydon station. There was a bridge over the line about a mile from the Croydon station, and about three miles from Croydon, between that and the Croydon station, there were two foot-Lridges and one aqueduct that carried the water over the railway. There were three over bridges between that and the station, excluding the Addiscombe bridge at the station. The signals were under the control of the traffic manager. Mr. Barrow—Do you know the part of the line where the distant signal stands ? Witness—Yes ; it stands about 600 yards from Addis• co m m b r e . -b dagwecirnogan_d, Rawlings —How n o the fara Stoat's n Neat s id e . you tee the distant sigwnailtnbeesfso_reiydouou,t know,reaehi t? The traffic manager will in form Johny sou. axby, of Brighton, carpenter, said he had the fixing of the signals on the Brighton Railway. Between Stoat's Nest and Croydon there were four distant sig nals, two up and two down. Coroner —Tell us about the up signals. Witness—There was a signal about a mile and a quarter from Stoat's Neit, nearer Croydon. It was a signal to protect the ero-sing at Godstone road. The next up signal was about 515 yards from the Croydon se , znaphoresigtial, belovgi rig to thol , ddiscombe-road bridge. It was a revolving signal. When the line was clear it was turned round, ' and a driver could see nothing, the I edge being obscured. When all was not clear two sur- I faces were seen; painted red. There was one semaphore signal between that and the Croydon station. That was a signal w hi c h wor k e d w i th two arms. It stoo d about four ya r d s f rom t h e A dd i scombe-bridge, on the down ' side. That ac t e d f or b ot h li nes. W hen t h e a rm was up it denoted danger, and warned the driver to stop itum a diately. Beyond the station on the up side there was another signal. It was 15 yards past the end of the plat form, It was a semaphore signal, and acted as the last he bad described. The platform was 273 yards long. The signal at the Addiscombe-road-bridge could be seen 1119 yards coming up the line from Stoat's Nest. The revolv ing signal could be seen about 1000 yards coming up the line. The signal at the north end of the station could be seen about 400 yards before a driver came to it. The Addiscombe-road-bridge obstructed the sight at that point. There was a slight curve coming into the station. There was a water crane at the north end of the platform, for the purpose of supplying an engine on the main line. He did not think it would supply an engine on the siding ; but be did not know. By Catoain Tyler, the Government inspector—The water crane was about 15 yards from the station. By Mr. Rawlings—lt was usual to supply the engines with wafer on the main line. The water pillar was near a sidingoiiit - he did not know well for what object it was placed there. No doubt an engine standing on a siding might be filled by a temporary hose. tect an engine standing By Mr. Rawlings—The en se t m h a e p i h n o a r m e lsiingenaifl it wouldwas pro perly worked. sst o T n h , e b u w t i t n n o e tri nuon m de a r t w er e i n a t l w ae as l e n i g ic t i hn te e d. ed cross-exami ne . station -master William at B w r a i e s k e l a x y a e ni r i s ed ArmsHe station, said he and wag was in the train which caused the accident. The train left Dover at 8.30 and was an excursion train for the Crystal Palace. It was expected that the train would be at the Palace at twelve o'clock. He was in the front part of the train next the engine. At Ashford the train wai split into two, and the first part was sent on. He was in the last portion, which left Ashford twenty minutes after the first. On nearing the Croydon station he found that the distant signal, which was 515 yards from the Addiscombe-road-bridge, was all right. On going under the foot-bridge, near the Addis coaibe-road-bridge, he saw the switchman run out from the left of the line, and hold up both his hands. That denoted danger, and that the driver was to stop. At the same time he (witness) caught sight of the sema phore signal at the Addiecombe-road-bridge, which in . ( reve r sed i his ls t engin e . o2 o miles dicated dan ger a l so. Immediately afterwards the driver e-roaAd ba t rri l d a t gh: time uir:e t (a h wn e idt tra in nasess was (Simpson) m goingpson) at ev e frt so) g it passed under th e Ad d i scomb caught sight o f t h e water crane swung upon the up line, supplying water to an engine standing on the line. Soon afterwards the engine of the excursion train stru ck the other engine, whi c h b y that time was on the move, and was near the signal on the north side of the train. The eng i ne o f the excursion train ran off the road into some balast trucks, and then turned over. He got out as soon as the van in which he stool was still. The engine and van were thrown to the left, and the carriages to the right. When he saw that the driver and firemen were all right, he went over the carriages to see about the passengers. Amongst them he saw the Rev. Mr. Willis, the subject of the present inquiry. By Mr. Rawlings—He was in charge of the train hav ing been sent cicovn by the South-Eastern Company for that purpose. At Ashford the train was divided. It sad customary to place a red board on the back of a train when a special train was to follow. That was done with the first part of the train, and it was the duty of all station-masters nit to allow anything to stand on the main line unless properly protested until the special train had passed. It was the custom on the South-Easter,, line to signal every train by telegraph, so that no train was allowed to pass till it had informa tion that the next station was clear. He did not know whether the s tine practice was adapted on the Brighton line. If the excursion had been telegraphed from Stoat's Nest to Croydon, there would have been ample time for the removal of the engine which was taking in water at th station before the excursion train came up. He (wanes ) was formerly guard on the Brighton line, and kusw that it ails usual to look out for the signals. The signals should have been put up upon the present occa she. Thsre was a stated time for excursion trains on the South-Eastern line, and Simpson was driving at the proper speed. and was not over-driving. He was losing rather than gainieg time. Both driver and witness, as well as the fireman, kept a good look-out all the way. After passing the signal whi c h sa id a l l r i ght, the bridges obstructed' the view of the semaphore signal at the Addiscombe-bridge road. When witness saw the danger signal up three breaks were put on, and the engine was reversed. By Mr. Barrow —If all the breaks were put on, and the engine reversed, a train travelling at the speed he had mentioned could not be brought up much under a quarter of a mile. But the speed would be considerably reduced before that. At the time of the collision the excursion train was going at the rate of about eight miles an hoer. By Mr. erest—H e (witness) was resonsible for the excursion tra E i v n, but it was not his duty t o look after the signals. It was by his authority that the train was divided as Ashford, and it was the duty of the station master to telegraph the fact to the next station. He (witness) started the train from Ashford on receiving a telegraphic message from Pluckley that ail was right. He did not see the red board put on at Red-hill. The first time he saw it was when the train was at Anerley. When he was examined before the magistrates he did not state that the train was going at 30 miles an hour. It had been going at that rate, but that was before the break was put on. The guard had put on the break before the train entered the curve, and witness also assisted to put on the extra breaks. As soon as the driver saw the switchman hold up both his hands he reversed his engine, and kept waving his hand to the driver of the other engine to go on. They did not over run any of the stations. It was the duty of the driver_ _ and the guard to have looked out for the signals and not witness. By Mr. Faithful- In dry weather a train might be stopped in 440 yards. When he first saw the sema phore signal at Addiscombe-road.bridge they were just coming out from under the foot-bridge where the galva nised covering is. From the time of passing the distant si g nal till arriving at the footbridge the semaphore sig ial cannot be seen. His duties were to superintend the train to divide it if necessary, and keep the time He had been guard about 8 months. He afterwards became head porter and inspector. Mr. George Hawkins, traffic manager of the Brighton and South Coast Railway, was next examined. This witness, owing to indisposition, was permitted to give his evidence sitting. He was first examined by the Government inspector, and said that there were no par ticular rules applicable to signals, except those ordinary rules which were printed, and which he begged to hand in. These were general in their application, and had no special reference to the Croydon station. Li reply to a question whether, in the event of any shunting going on between the two semaphore signal points, both the dis tance signal and the semaphore signal ought to be put on, it was stated that such would be the case if the shunting occurred on the south side of the north signal p ist. The south semaphore signal should always agree sith the north one, but net r ecessa6y so in all cases with the distance signal. The electric telegraph system Has in use on the Prighton line in signalling the trains, but only as an aexiliarv, aid to a liinittd extent. The rule was that every train leaving or passing a station bs immedistely telegraphed to the next station ; but it was found utterly impossible to adhere to this rule rigorously. After an observation by the coroner to the effect that the questions put 11 td reference rather to the proper wor , sing of the railway fur the future, than to the guts thui h, fare them—viz , who, if any person, were in fault the wanes.; replied to a few minor questions relative to station-books at the different stations, and gave way, at the suggestion of Mr. Barrow, to Mr. Hone, telegraph clerk at Croydon station, who produced a train signal hook in which there appeared an entry of the nation of the approach of the excursion train front Sioat's \est. He deposed positively to having male the entry at the moment the notice was received, and when questioned closely, adhered to this statement. He saw the train when it wits appraching at the rate of abont 25 or 30 miles au hour. Though he knew from the signal he bad received that an unexpected Dover train would arrive from Stoat's Nest, lie bad riot given any notice there , f to the station-master or Switchman. It was no part of his duty to do so, Mr. Hawkins was recalled, and after some discussion between the coroner and the learned gentleman, it was agreed to adjourn the further investigation until Monday next at ten o'clock. _ .
