.RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. WESTMINSTER TERMINUS. The first ordinary meeting of shareholders in this undertaking was held yesterday at the offices of the company, Great George-street, Westminster. The chair having been taken by Mr. Wm. Wilberforce Pearson, Mr. BILLING, the secretary, read the notice convening the meeting, and the report of the directors to the share holders. The latter document stated that since the passing of their act, which received the royal assent on the 31st of July last, the attention of the directors had been given to the arrangements necessary to the success ful carrying out of the undertaking, and that the repriree sentatives of other lines had expressed a strong des to avail themselves of the facilities which would be af forded by a west end terminus. The directors also an * flounced that they had in contemplation to a ply in the next session of Parliament for powers to extend the company's line to the Crystal Palace and the Brighton and South-Eastern lines, in accordance with the provi sions of the existing act of Parliament. After a short discussion, the report was received and adopted, the retiring directors re re-elected, and, a vote of thanks having been passfi we d to the chairman, the proceedings terminated. BRISTOL, SOUTH WALES, AND SOUTHAMP. TON UNION. A large and influential public meeting in favour of this undertaking wa s held at Bristol, yesterday, at the Lec ture-room of the new Athenaeum, which was attended by most of the merchants, bankers, and traders of the city and neighbourhood, and by deputations from Wilt shire, dce. The Right Worshipful the Mayor presided, and, hay ing briefly opened the proceedings, called upon Mr. Adam Jack to read the report of the provisional com mittee, of which the following is an abstract : The report commenced by stating that the time had now arrived when the establishment of such a mode of communication with South Wales had become absolutely essential, and forwhiolavarious circumstances were highly favourable, viz., the opening of the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, and of the Severn and Wye railways ; the enormous and still increasing demand for the Welsh steam coals, and the necessity which was now felt for railway accommodation to the quays of Bristol, and for stations in the heart of the city. A sub-com mittee had been appointed to make preliminary inquiries. Mr. Blackwall, civil engineer, was consulted, and that gentleman having proceeded to Scotland to ascertain the working of the steam floating-bridges used in crossing the Firths of Forth and Tay, in connection with the Edin burgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway, reported most satis factorily as to the practicability of crossing the Severn by similar means. The committee recommended that the route of the proposed railway should be from the present termini in Temple Meads, passing through the city by way of Queen's -square, Canon's-marsh, the Hotwells, th ence along the right bank of the river Avon to Shirehampton, crossing the Marsh to the Severn, and following it to the New Passage, after crossing which the line to form a junction with the South Wales Rail way at Portskwett. A responsible and experienced con tractor had surveyed the projected route, and had given an estimate at which he was prepared to execute the works of the line and stations complete. Estimates had been obtained from several eminent surveyors of the cost of land and premises and compensations on the route of the proposed railway. The committee also held a communication offering the property and rights of the Bristol and South Wales Junction at the New Passage. The committee had been most care ful in collecting information relating to the traffic of the district, and were justified in concluding that the under taking would yield, after paying working expenses, a dividend of more than seven per cent. on a capital of 600,0001., being 520,000/. for the line, including stations, sidings, floating bridges, and other works, and for land, &c.; and 80,0001. for Parliamentary expenses and con tingencies. The report concluded by stating,6 at they had reason to beli eve that the railwa y would iv ive the a pproval of the Government on the gro u nd of afford ing facilities for the transit of troops and militiq stores and coals between the great naval arsenals of Pembroke, Portsmouth, and Plymouth, and that it had the approval of the Great Western Railway Company and other pub lic bodies. Letters were read from the War-office, from the ' Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, Mr. Wilson (of the Board of Trade), &c., approving of the scheme, and resolutions appointing provisional directors, &c., having been car ried unanimously, the meeting, which was a highly en thusiastic one, separated after having given a vote of thanks to the Mayor. GREAT INDIAN PENINSULA. Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the offices, New Broad street ; Mr. Wm. J. Hamilton in the chair. The report and abstract of the accounts have already appeared in The Sun. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report and statement of accounts, said that he should avail himself of that opportunity to mention a few facts more in detail, with reference to the undertaking of the com pany, than it was possible to set forth in the report. In the first place, he might mention that since he last had the honour of addressing them, another portion of their line had been opened, namely, from Tannah to Callian, a distance of about 12 miles, and that the directors con tinued to receive the most satisfactory reports with re gard to the stability of the works, and of what was no less interesting to the shareholder—the favourable cha racter of the receipts on the line. They would see, on referring to the revenue accounts, that during the period, little more than one year, that the line had been opened, the receipts amounted to 14,0001. ; out of which if they would take the working expenses, which were within a fraction of being 50 per cent., they would have as net profit the sum of 7,0001. as during the greater p-)rtion. of that time only 22 miles of the line had been worked, and as the other 12 miles had only lately been opened, they might, on an average, take that sum as the profit on from 24 to 25 miles of road ; and as they had found that 10,0001. per mile was the outside of their ex penditure,lthey might fairly look on that amount of profit as satisfactory, insomuch as it appeared within a far thing to be 3 per cent. on the amount expended. It was also satisfactory to know that as at present the re ceipts were derived entirely from the passenger traffic, the line being too short to admit of any amount of goods being conveyed by it with advantage to the owners, es pecially as it had to contend with a cheap water-carriage to Bombay, so they would be greatly increased as soon as a goods traffic could be brought upon the, line. There was, however, another reason why it happened that they had not as yet obtained a goods traffic, and that was that they had not a sufficiently good supply of good waggons on hand. Indeed it had been proposed to to them that they should have the waggons made at Bombay ; but when they sent the iron work out to that place, some difficulty had been experienced in putting the materials together. However, the time was not as yet arrived when they could expect that traffic ; but so soon as they had their line opened to Shaw poor, a distance of 48 miles, they would have every rea son to expect a considerable amount of it, and would have a sufficient supply of waggons to meet it. He had, at the list meeting, referred to the advantage which their line would afford the Government in the conveyance of troops, and on this occasion he had to inform them of its having conferred highly important advantages upon the com munity of Bombay, advantages of such a nature that had they been withheld, considerable inconvenience, if not misfortune, would have ensued. The last monsoon had been preceded by such a drought that Bombay would have been entirely devoid of water had not the railway brought them an adequate supply. During the two days immediately preceding the change in the weather, the railway brought a supply of 150,000 gallons of water. Since the preparation of the report the directors had received advices from India, but they did not, as it was expected they would, contain the detailed surveys of the experimental lines, but gave most satisfactory reports of the progress of the works; and Mr. Barclay, their resi dent engineer, stated that the works had in no mea sure been injured by the severe rains of - the monsoon. As a separate resolUtion would be put before the meet ing in reference to the powers of borrowing possessed by the company, he should net now detain the meet ing by any observations on that subject, but would con clude by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. SIMMS seconded the motion, and stated that the report of Mr. Barclay, referred to by the chairman, was most gratifying. Col. DICKENS regretted that steps had not been taken to secure to the line at Callian the carriage of about 100,000 tons of merchandise, which was at present car ried from the Bhore Ghaut to Panwell, and from Tull Ghaut, Khurdee, and Shawpoor to the Kassely Bender. This, be thought, might have been accomplished, had the directors improved th e collectors' road between Cal. lian and Choke, so as to intercept one stream of the traffic namely, that from Bhore- Ghaut to Panwell, and made a road of twelve miles in length from Callian to Bhewady, a town on the road from Shawpoor to '".....1y Bender. The CuanustAN ex plained that tip directors had no power to do so . • t Me report was then adopted. , The ClexamAit then moved a resolution empowering the company to borrow on debenture a loan to the extent of one-thi r d of the subscribed capital, for which the Go vernment of I n di c that the debentures ' would be security. fife explained cent., and th a t th were to be for five years at 4 i per • option of converti ng th e m into shares was restricted .t o th e eh for them. - Me c a pit a l t r b e tolders who might subscribe so ra i se d was , h e sa id, t o be applied to the extension lines , and the 4/. per share not sailed up upon the last issu ed 1 00,000 sh ares , an d w hi c h made their capital 1,000,0011, could not be called in u nless for carrying out the expe rimental their capital, paid lines. As they had 600, 0001 ., or more than half of third which was unani mously up, they were entitled to b orrow th e of a million. Mr. FIILD seconded the resoluti on, agreed to. The proceedings then terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. DEMERARA. The half-yearly meeting of proprietors in this company was appointed to be held at the London Tavern yester day (Tuesday), but as a sufficient number of the share. holders did not attend, the proceedings were adjourned to the 23d inst. THE LATE DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN LANCELOT''S-REY. —We have very little to add to the details we furnished en Friday of the destructive fire which commenced on the previous day. Four warehouses have been totally destroyed, as well as their contents. The fire was got well under on Friday evening, and may be said to have been almost entirely extinguishes on Saturday evening. The damage is estimated at abetit 150,0001,, which IS 9"4"01 by insuranGge—Liverpool Mowry, THE SUN, LON DON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 1 1 1854. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

The rate of mortality was raised from 2.553 to 3.121, or nearly one-fourth part, in the districts, comprising the chief towns; frcm 1.848 to 1.927, or nearly one twentieth part, in the small towns and in the country. The fatal epidemic, cholera, is chargeable with this excess in the rate of mortality. Thus when epidemics prevail, as well as in ordinary times, the towns in their present defective sanitary condition are the chief sufferers. During the summer qaarter, in the same population, to every three deaths in the country there were four deaths in the towns. _ In London the deaths in the 13 weeks ending Sept. 30, amounted to 24,870, or to 11,952 more than the deaths (12,918) in the summer quarter of 1853. This excess exceeds slightly the deaths from epidemic cholera (9,708), and diarrhoea (2,069), which makes 11,777 in the aggregate. In the summer quarter of 1849 the deaths from cholera were 12,847, from diarrbcea 2,457, or from both causes 15,304 ; and the deaths from all causes were - 27,100. Small-pox and erysipelas prevailed to some extent. Scarlatina was epidemic, and was fatal to 978 persons, typhus or fever to 678, ague to 11. In childbirth 96 mothers died ; 38 in metria or childbirth fever, and 58 in other ways. Hydrophobia, which had been fatal in London before to only four persons in eight years, was in three months the cause of death in four instances. It is not known whether the dryness of the season had any influence in producing this result. Epilepsy was fatal in an unusual number of cases (97). 609 deaths were referred to pneumonia, 538 to bronchitis, 1,664 to consumption. The deaths of 18 persons were directly referred to intemperance, 8 to privation, 45 to delirium tremens, 13 to poison ; burns and scalds were less fatal (23) than usual ; 104 persons were drowned, 177 were killed by fractures and contusloas of various kinds ; 28 by wounds. In every county of the south-eastern division the deaths exceeded the average : cholera was fatal on the Thames and round the coast. The deaths in Gravesend were 206, of which 81 were caused by cholera, and 43 came from vessels on the river. In nearly all the Kent ish distriets the mortality was high, and cholera was in many localities fatal. Sussex and Hampshire, with the exception of Pertsea Island and Southampton, scarcely exhibited an increase. _ _ Brentford, Edmonton, and other districts near London in the south midland counties suffered severely from cholera. The sanitary arrangements are generally faulty. Up the valley of the Thames the mortality rose from the same causes ; the deaths from all causes in the districts of Oxford and Headington rose from 159 to 283. In Wisbeach, at the bottom of the Nene Valley, where malarious disease still prevails, the deaths rose from the average of 187 to 331. Cholera was exceedingly fatal. The Registrar of Terrington St. Clement says :—"The want of water is severely felt. There is scarcely any in many parts of the subdistrict, and most of that is un wholesome." In the Eastern Counties, West Ham, Romford, and the marshy districts of Essex on the north bank of the Thames experienced a high mortality, chiefly from cholera ; so did Ipswich, which was the only district of Suffolk that suffered considerably. The mortality was high in Yar mouth, on the sea coast of Norfolk, and the deaths in Norwich were 370 and 643 in the quarters ending Septembei. 1853 and 1854. In the South-Western Counties the mortality was near the average. Salisbury, Shaftesbury, Dorchester, Exe ter, Plymouth, Liskeard, Bodmin, St. Austell, Redruth, and Penzance experienced some increase of the deaths. In the West Midland division the mortality was be low, or about the average, in the counties of Gloucester, Hereford, and Salop ; in Cheadle, WolverhamptoneWal sail, West Bromwich, Dudley, and Stourbridge, or on the Wolverhampton cholera field, as it was called in the report, the mortality was about one-third part higher than usual ; but cholera was much less fatal than it was in 1849. The deaths in Birmingham rose from 1,087 to 1,464 from the prevalence of diarrhoea. In the North Midland division the counties of Leices ter, Rutland, Nottingham, and Derby exhibited a mor tality below the average; in the low districts of Lincoln shire the mortality exceeded the average, so that the deaths in the county rose from 1,581 to 2,092. At Clee thorpes, about three miles from Grimsby, 40 deaths from cholera, 8 from diarrhcea, and 6 from other causes oc curred. " Ten deaths," the registrar says, " from cho lera hXve occurred at Grimsby-4 of them to persons who fled from Cleethorpes, 3 on board ship, and the other 3 indigenous. The proximate causes at Cleethorpes for this outbreak must be over-crowded population, bad drainage, bad water, and utter neglect of sanitary regula tions." Cheshire, except in Runcorn and Wirrall, experienced less than the average mortality. In Lancashire, the deaths in Liverpool and West Derby, in the three sum mer quarters of 1852, 1853, 1854, were 3,537, 2,701, and 4,563 ; and the increase is referable to the epidemic cholera. The deaths from all causes in the summer quarter of 1849, when cholera was epidemic, were 8,021 in the two districts. The population of Liverpool and West Derby in 1851 was 411,515. The deaths in Man chester and Salford during the last quarter were 2,789 ; the population was 315,966 in 1851. Diarrhoea has been the prevailing form of disease in Manchester; and the mortality has not been considerable. In Yorkshire the mortality is not above the average. Sheffield has suffered to a certain extent from the epi demic; the deaths from all causes were 1,044. In the northern counties, Stockton, Auckland, Dur ham, Sunderland, Cockermouth, and Whitehaven exhibit a high mortality, referable chiefly to cholera. The deaths in Newcastle were 587; in the summer quarter of 1853, when the cholera epidemic broke out, 2,085 of the 89,156 inhabitants died. Monmouth, Newport, Pontypool in Monmouthshire, Cardiff and Merthyr Tydvil in Wales, exhibit an increase in the mortality, and the returns show that cholera has been and is there still prevailing. The Greek firms yesterday stated they bad no further news, but professed complete reliance on the St. Peters burg account of the successful sortie and the destruction of the French battery. They also asserted a firm con• viction that the English Government are in possession of unsatisfactory intelligence. By advices from Hamburg , the price of gold is 423 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 8/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.38 ; and, the exchange at Hamburg on London at Hamburg on London at short being 13.31, it follows that gold is 0.06 per cent, dearer in Hamburg than in London. RAILWAY Smomr.—An action was brought in the Sheriff Court at Perth against the Midland Railway Company, for using coals in engines not consuming their smoko. The following interlocutors have been recently pronounced against the railway company fur the penalty and costs :—Having heard parties procurators on the whole cause and made avizanduin therewith ; finds the complaint proved, decerna for the penalty or forfeiture of five pounds as eoncluded for, to be recovered in manner directed by the statute founded on, and to be applied, one half to the private prose cuter or informer, and the other half for the benefit of the poor of the East Church Parish of Perth : finds the defenders liable in expenses, and remits the account thereof to the auditor to tax. Since this decision, an action has been raised against the same company for penalties, amounting to many kundred pounds, for vio lation of the same clause.

Since the return of the subscribers from Newmarket the settling has been the chief business, and, as far as the " Ring " is concerned, the result of the Cambridge shire Stakes has been tolerably harmless, but as regards other events decided at Newmarket, the layers have been great sufferers, and, to add to their losses, the backers of horses—by being so backward in coming forward to settle—are to a great extent giving them cause to com plain, which is too frequently the case at the close of the legitimate racing seasen. Of course some allowance on their behalf can be made for the unceremonious manner in which several horses were scratched for the Cambridge shire Stakes, after for soma time holding prominent po sitions in the betting ; such proceedings generally having the effect of making settling bad on behalf of the backers, by causing them to invest upon horses that they otherwise would have no idea of backing. However, to insure stability in the market, prompt payments are in dispensable. As regards the coming steeplechase season, if we may judge from the remarks that we have already heard made by the layers of the odds, we are inclined to believe that very little money will be got out of them by the steeple. chase fraternity during the comingexploits in that branch of racing. t Scherz for the Epsom Autumn Han dicap, run for to-morrow (Thursday), is backed at a very short figure, and is an immense " pct."

CITY SHERIFFS' COURT, OCT. 31. (Before Mr. Russell Gurney, Q.C.) THE LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY VERSUS GUDE. Mr. Ballantine, who appeared on the part of the com pany, said this was an action brought to recover merely a nominal sum ; in the demand it was stated at 75., but it was arranged that was immaterial, and the action was brought against the defendent, a most respectable soli- • citor, residing near Woking, to try a simple matter of right, a, question having arisen in consequence of the course pursued by the defendant, which was calculated to be of serious importance to the company. It appeared that the London and South-Western Railway Company had been in the habit of issuing, what are technically called, booking return tickets from the Waterloo and Vauxhall stations to Guildford on the Saturday, to return on the Monday, and the terms upon which the tickets are is-ued are advertised in the books, stating that they were avail able to Guildford and Windsor, and all intermediate sta. tiors below Woking. Mr. Gude, the defendant, living near Woking, was in the habit of availing himself of these tickets, and insisting upon getting out and return ing at the Woking station, by which he effected a saving of in the fare. There was (the learned counsel said) no dispute as to the facts. The Judge—The defendant takes a ticket to go be yond Woking, and gets out at, Woking. Mr. Ballantine continued —He apprehended that a person travelling by a railway train was bound by the advertisement, that being the contract upon which he e ey i e n d c , id a e n n d ts th c e o r n e n b e e e t i e n dg with i c t o h n i t t r ; ac a t n , d h he e w a p s u bound t bw h ya e sa c ic o lo u nt ri that he had no power to do - anything to alter it. The contract here clear l y ex p ressed that the ticket was available only to Guildford and Windsor, and sta tions below Woking, the intention being to exclude Woking, there being no competition at that station. The company had a perfect right to make these regulations with regard to their fares, as it will be found by the books they are much within the maximum. It was not the first time the thing had occurred, as in the case of the old steamers when persons were carried to Ramsgate for a less fare than Margate, from competition, and the same thing might occur on competing lines ; he there fore contended that the conduct of the defendant was a direct invasion of the rules, and contrary to the con tract, as set forth in the advertisement, and the ticket showed it was on the one half Waterloo to Guildford, available from Saturday to Monday, the other half being from Guildford to Waterloo. Under those cir cumstances, the company had felt bound to bring the case before the Court, that the prii:ciple might be ascer tained, as it war one of importance to the company. Mr. Gude, the defendant, said it would be as well to set the Court right as to the Ramsgate steamers— they did not call at Margate. The real question in the present case was, whether the public were to receive any benefit by these competing lines. It was true, that he might have gone on to Guildford, but why should he do so when the train stopped at Woking. He (defendant) con ceived that when he got into a railway train he did not sell his liberty. After he had paid his money he had a right to go on or get out. It was not so much a saving that he objected, but he thought the public were entitled to the benefit. The fare to Guildford and back was 55., and Woking and back 6s. ; and why should he be made to travel 10 miles when he might stop at Wok ing ? He submitted that under the Railway Oosolidated Act (8 and 9 Vic., cap. 20) the -company were bound to regulate their fares according to the act, and it could not be said to be a reasonable fare to pay is. more for going to Woking than Guildford ; it was not an excursion train, but an ordinary train, and he cited the cases of Parker and others, to show that the Court had held every person must be charged alike. The question of the shilling mattered not to him, as he could travel from Staines, which would cost only 3s. 6d.; but he was desirous to know what was the law. If he was travelling by a teach to Southampton he could get down at Winchester, and he hoped the learned judge in coming to his decision would look at the interests of the public, particularly the public of Woking, and pro tect them by deciding in their favour against these great monopolising companies. The learned Judge asked how many journeys were claimed ? It was arranged that two only should be taken. The learned Judge, after some consideration, said he should take time to consider the matter, and reserve his judgment. Judgment reserved accordingly. STATE 01! TRADE. MANCIIESTISII 2 Oct. 31.—The cloth-market is flat and discouraging. Prices continue to decline, and there is much irregularity, those who cannot hold their goods manifesting much uneasiness. More attention is directed every day to the propriety of curtailing produc tion, and at Stockport manufacturers have set a good example by limiting work to 22 hours per week. I n the yarn-market sales to manufacturers are, of course, materially checked by this resort to short time, and prices are in favour of the buyer. The Greek houses are doing a little in extra twist; and German houses are also buyers at low pricey. Spinners and manufacturers have been disposed to take less to secure sales, but some of the offers have been of a character very discouraging. Of two of the leading foreign markets the circular of Messrs. Stagg and Co. says :—"The advices from India and China to hand yesterday are again if a very dis couraging character, and buyers ter those markets are less than ever disposed to operate. The prices quoted for shirtings, jaconots, aid madapollams are only nomi nal—all seems to depend on the position of sellers, and great irregularity is the reault. In other descriptions there is no change since this day week." LIEEDS, Oct. 31.—The attendance of buyers in the cloth-halls this morning was rather larger, a nd more business has been done than on this day we ek. A fair amount of cloth in the balk state has been sold, and the aspect of the trade is as good as can be expecte. There has been a large supply of wheat at the corn - market to-day—the largest, in fact, since the harevest ; and, although offered at close upon Bs. per quartr lower than on this day week, purchases were not very freely mad, THE LONDON GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT.

LIVERPOOL-Om 31. At this morning's market there was a fair attendance of town and country dealers, who bought very sparingly of wheat and flour, at a decline of 8d per 701bs, and 2s per sack and barrel upon last Tuesday's prices. Oats of fine quality brought previous rates. Beans and peas is per qr. lower, and barley on easier terms. Indian corn in fair re. quest, at a reduction of 2s per qr. IPSWICH—OcT. 31. A larger attendance of farmers than we have seen since harvest, and a larger supply of both wheat and barley. There is a disinclination on the part of buyers to go on pur chasing at anything like late prices, and to effect sales a reduction of Bs to 6s per qr. on wheat and 2s to 3s per qr. on barley was submitted to, with much of the latter un• sold. Beans lend peas at nominal prices. PER QUARTER PRA QUARTF R.

We note no altera tion in the value from this day week, though to push sales 2s to :3s less money would have had to be taken. Spring corn in good demand, at the full currency of last market day.

THE LATE LIEUTENANT GRANT OF THE 79TH.—We are .uirry to observe, in the supplementary list of the oasn• allies in the British army in the Crimea, the name of Lieutenant Grant, 79th Highlanders, eldest son of Mr. an.l Lady Lucy Grant of Kilgraston. He escaped un hurt from the battle of the Alma, and from the field wrote a very animated account of the engagement to his mother, the receipt of which was followed, by last post from the East, by accounts of his death from cholera, ifter 12 hours' illness. Mush sympathy is felt in this luarter with the family, this being, we understand, the third domestic affliction of this nature it has sustained xithin the last two years.—Perthshire Courier. B .
