The Duke of Somerset, as First Lord of the Ad miralty, held his second levee yesterday at the Ad miralty, Whitehall, at which the undermentioned officers attended :—Admiral Sir L. Curtis, C. 8., Gen. C. Menzies, K.H., Vice-Admiral Duntze, Rear-Admiral Sir E. Belcher, C. 8., Rear -Admiral G. R,msay, C. 8., Capt. W. Gore James, Capt. R. J. Sullivan, Capt. F. Patten, Capt. F. Martin, Capt, A. De Horsey, Capt. B. Drury, Capt. T. Mason, Capt. G. S. Hand, Capt. H. Boys, Capt. R. W. Courtenay, Capt, H. M. Denham, Capt. W. A. R. Pearse, Capt. R. Lambert, Commander H. M, Bing ham, Commander L. Reynolds, Commander R. Jenner, Commander J. Douglas, Commander J. Geary, Commander G. F. Cottam, Commander C. Forbes, Commander H. Campion, Dr. R. M'Cormack, and Mr. J. W. Johnstone. In addition to the Formidable, 84, the Cumber land, 70, and the Leander, 51, ordered to proceed to the Nore, on the sth of March to form the squadron under the orders of Vice-Admiral Johnstone, K.C.8., that will salute the Princess Alexandra on her ar rival at the entrance to the Thames in the Danish frigate Slesvig, it was stated at Chatham yesterday that the Channel squadron, under the command of Rear-Admiral Smart, K.H., will be sent home from Lisbon and stationed at the Nore, in order to make the reception of the Princess as imposing as possible. The Channel squadron consists of the Revenge, 73, 800 horse power, Capt. C. Fellowes, fligahip of Rear-Admiral of the Red R. Smart, K.H. ; the Warrior, 40, 1,250 horse power, Capt. the Hon. A. A. Cochrane; the Black Prince, 40, 1,250 horst, power, Capt. J. F. B. Wainwright; the Defence, 16, 600 horse power, Capt. A. Ptkillimore ; and the Resistance, 16, 600 horse power, Capt. W. C. Chamherly.in. Although no positive orders to that effect have been received at Chatham, it is pro bable that the Wellesley, 72. the training ship for supplying seamen to the various vessels of war at the eastern ports, will also proceed from Chatham to the Wore to form one of the squadron of honour on the occasion. Admiralty orders have been received at Chatham for another of the fleet of mortarvessels laid up in Yantlet Creek to be handed over to the Controller of the Coastguard for use in that service, the Admi ralty having wisely determined on bringing the whole squadron of mortarboats into use as opportu nities occur, insieAd of allowing them to remain rotting in inactivity at their present berths. Be side the numerous mortarvessels at Yantlett Creek, there is likewise a large squadron of iron mortar boats, built during the Russian war, laid up at Chat ham Dockyard, costing the country a considerable sum to keep them in repair, and to prevent rust eat ing into their iron plates. Each vessel is housed over with a covering of wood to protect it from the weather, but, although every precaution is adopted in this respect, nothing can prevent their under going a certain amount of injury. The number of these iron mortarvessels cannot be much less, if it does not exceed, 100. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam sloop Hydra, 6, in the inner basin at Woolwich, paid off by Capt. Douglas on the 23d of March, 1862, is ordered to be brought forward for commission for North America and the West Indies. Her boilers have been re moved preparatory to a thorough overhaul. The Archer, 13, screw corvette, 973 tons and 202-horse power, in progress at Woolwich, will be teady for commission on the 10th of Marsh. Her statio❑ is to be the west coast of Africa, where she will be employed in the prevention of the slave traffic, reported to be on the increase. The Archer will relieve the 16-gun corvette Brisk, Capt. Luce, ordered home. The iron screw turret-vessel Alfred, building for the Government at Messrs. Samuda's, in their yard at Blackwell, is now making rapid progress. Her armament, consisting of five deck guns only, will be protected by four cylindrical armour-plated turrets, three of which will contain single gun each, and the fourth two guns, making the total amount of her armament. The construction is exactly that of the Confederate invention, and is intended for similar purposes. The turrets will be built up after the principle of the Warrior's sides, with 41-in. plates, backed by solid teak timbers. The revolving platforms and general woodwork of the turrets havo been cut out and the work commenced by the shipwright depart ment at Woolwich. The plating of the Caledonia is advancing rapidly in dock at Woolwich. Some of the upper strakes have been bolted on during the past week. A new system practised in armour-plat ing the ships of the French navy has been intro duced, which it is expected wilt have the effect of warding off the dry rot, and preventing decay. It is effected by carbonising with a fl ime of gas the surface of the timber before receiving the plates. In order to obtain a satisfactory test of the effect of this system, an equal number of the plates has been laid on without the carbonising, and the system will be applied to the remainder of the st.rakes to obtain the necessary result. The Emerald, 34, screw frigate, 2 913 tons, and 600-horse power, Capt. A. Cumming. commenced her series of expel imental speed trials with various forms of screw propellers at Portsmouth yesterday. As the whole series may possibly extend over a con siderable period, we purpose giving the results of each trial as shortly as possible as they take place, and to furnisn a more detailed account in a summary of the whole series at their conclusion. The trials will be conducted by Capt. H. Broadhead, com manding H.M.S. Asia and the reserve at the port, and his staff will consist of Mr. Ward, assist.-engi neer of the dockyard, and Mr. Murdoch, inspector of machinery of the steam reserve. The following were the results of yesterday's trial:—No. 1 trial— Screw, common, Admiralty pattern, with a diameter of 18ft., a pitch of 28ft., and a length of 3ft. 6in.; the leading corners of the screw cut.

Rear-Admiral George Elliot has been appointed Admiral Superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard, vice Rear-Admiral the Hon. George Grey, whose period of service has expired. Some dissatisfaction has been created among the seamen on board ships stationed in the home ports by an order issued from the Admiralty directing that no person of any of her Majesty's ships shall in future be allowed to convey on shore any portion of the provisions issued to him on board ship. This is the revival of an old order issued by the Board of Admiralty, but afterwards amended by a subse• quent order rescinding the former one except so far as related to excisable articles.

Never in the history of England did so tranquil a prospect dawn upon a Royal marriage. Never did the nation so completely sympathise with the rejoicing of the Royal household. Tne marriage of affection—the entrance of the eldest son of our Queen upon his new responsibilities — the step across the threshold of life, which com pletes his manhood, and brings him face to face with the duties as well as the privileges of his exalted position—the memory of bygone days, when our Sovereign Lady Queen Vict3ria, herself a girl, took upon herself those solemn vows, the earnest and religious fulfilment of which has made the Royal House of England a shrine of purity to which the rulers of the earth have bowed—but one prayer for the happiness of the young Prince and Princess will rise to the nation's lips on such an oc casion. The people of England will cheerfully endorse the resolution of their representatives in Parliament. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. (From the Berlin correspondent of the Times.) BERLIN, FEB. 17. The Polish insurection is decidedly the topic of the hour, and much curiosity is felt as to the terms of the convention believed to be concluded between Russia and Prussia. Information on the subject was sought to be extracted from this Go vernment by questions addressed in yesterday's Chamber to the President of the Council with re spect to certain recent precautionary measures of the authorities of Posen, but the attempt failed, al though adroitly tnough made by Deputy Kantak; M. von Bismark read a guarded reply, which his colleagues, it is said, fearful lest his impetuosity should carry him too far were he left to his own unrestrained eloquence, had drawn up for him. Some of the German deputies, however, propose questioning him further to-morrow. What we learn on the subject from semi-official sources is little and vague, and a fine field is thus afforded to rumour and conjecture. One of last night's papers con nected with Government, points out that interven tion has already begun, since Russian troops are allowed to cross the frontier, retaining their arms and receiving facilities and assistance from the Prussian authorities ' • but the same journal declares that the intention of sending Prussian troops into Russian territory exists only in the apprehensions of the partisans of Poland, and adds that such a step could hardly be taken on the basis of a mere convention, but must be the result of a regular treaty, of which nothing has yet been heard. On the other hand M. Bismark, some think, in his great desire for a foreign complication, would be quite capable of risking an irregular and violent step, and then falling back upon the fait accompls. It lies not, however, in his power to do all that he wishes or his imagination may suggest. Unsupported by the Chamber, the people, or the press, he depends entirely on the King, whose clerk he de facto is, and without whose support he must instantly fall. It is understood to be his Majesty's aide-de-camp, Lieutenant-General Alvensleben, who has just re turned from St. Petersburg and Warsaw, who con cluded the convention, in consequence of which a Prussian officer, Col. Treskow, has left for Warsaw, while a Russian officer is to reside for the present in Berlin. Meanwhile an order issued by the Minister of Finance prohibits the export of arms and ammunition, lead, saltpetre, and the like, from Prussia into Russia and the kingdom of Poland. According to a report which obtains some credit, an article of the convention stipulates that Polish insurgents who may be driven to take refuge on Prussian soil shall, after they have been disarmed, be delivered over to the Russian authorities. Only the most positive evidence should induce us to be lieve that a Prussian Government (even the present one) would thus constitute itself purveyor to the executioner and to Siberia. To refuse an asylum, or at least temporary security, tounhappy fugitives driven across the frontier by the Muscovite bayonets would indeed be inhuman and disgraceful, and it is impossible to believe that such cruelty can be contemplated. The Nord Deutsche Zeitung contradicts a report that England had made very energetic representa tions against Prussian intervention in Poland. Some said a protest, others a casus bells*. There are people here who will swallow anything in the way of a canard. It appears to be also entirely un founded that the Berlin Cabinet has communicated to foreign Powers the probability that two army corps will shortly be marched into Poland. The Kreuz Zeitung mentions the arrest in Silesia, hard by the frontier, of Russo-Polish emissaries. Con siderable agitation is said to exist in West Prussia— the province of that name—and from Elbing comes news of a large seizure of arms. The telegraphic communication with Warsaw has been cut off on Russian territory. Two battalions of the 7th Pome ranian Regiment are being made up to 1,000 men each, and will march with two batteries to watch the frontier near Thorn and Kulm. Of the progress of the insurrection itself no news of very great importance has been received here since my last, but trom various sources some inter es(ing details may be gleaned. The insurgents have begun to pub ish printed sheets entitled News from the Battlefield. The first number announces their intention to make the public acquainted with the deeds of arms of the Poles, often misrepresented by the Dzsannik and other Russian newspapers. Then follow accounts of the fights at Rawa and Wengrow, representing the losses of the Russians as considerable and those of the insurgents as tri fling, but otherwise containing little that is not already known. A letter from Warsaw, unfavour able to the Poles, describes the fear of the Revolu tionary Committee as great and general, and adds that subscriptions for the national army are being everywhere collected, while the ladies prepare lint and render other assistance to the Gray Sisters who betake themselves to the insurgents. Lukewarm patriots are incited to action, and the lower orders of the clergy are particularly active, preaching rebel lion and giving absolution for all sins that have been or may be committed for the good of the national cause. The convents are open for the reception and fabrication of arms, and the priests assist in forwarding them when ready. The letter represents the sufferings of the rural dis tricts and small towns as very great, both from the insurgents and from the Russian troops, and says that many large and small villages have been destroyed by fire. It adds that the peasants, who suffer most, are generally favourable to the Government. Frankowski, it appears, was really captured in the fight near Sandomir, but one ac count speaks of him as the youthful Polish hero, while another mentions his having a married daughter, which implies rather a contradiction. He is said to belong to one of the oldest noble families of Poland. The Dziennik of the 13th says that, on the 10th inst., Casimir Wolski, who had come from Italy, and Markiewicz, a former officer, who bad led a band captured at Unieck, were shot at Nowo georgiewsk by sentence of court-martial. A letter from Warsaw describes the Russian authorities there as living in great apprehension, and the gar rison continually on the qui vine. There was a re port of an insurrection to take place last Sunday, the 15th inst. "As soon as it is dark," says the letter — "All the superior officers residing in the city go with their wives and families, to the citadel, there to pass the night, returning to their homes in the morning. So far as I know, their fears are unfounded; the outbreak does not seem so near at hand. Last night 500 conscripts from the citadel were put on board 10 small vessels, and sent off to the fortress of Modlin. Others remain in the citadel. Cur rent reports of the fight at Siemiatyce describe it very differently from the official account, and speak especially of heavy losses sustained by the troops. During the whole of the first day, Friday, the 6th inst., the insurgents kept up a murderous fire of musketry, and evacuated the place only early on Saturday. The Russians occupied it, butchered the greater part of the inhabitants, and burnt the town. Most of the cannon shots were directed against the man sion of General Fanshawe, an old servant of the Russian Imperial family, and the building, in which a hospital for the sick had been established, was totally demolished." The first number of News from. tire Battle-field, dated the 10th of February, says, with reference to the action at Wengrow : "The enemy (Russians) lost 450 killed. We lost 130. The Russians occupied Wengrow, and plundered it, after de stroying the greater part of it with cannon shot. They mur dered unresisting inhabitants—women and old men. Their own dead they buried—curs they throw into a heap, and forbade their interment." On the inst.Fiherle4tßhrigadewere a the men c i o t f a d t e h l e Warsaw .

Oktinski, the governor of the Polytechnic SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—The House of Commons was last night engaged in the agreeable, but responsible duty of providing an establishment for the Prince and Princess of Wales. The title of Prince of Wales and the condition of the heir apparent are so fami liar to all Englishmen that they will be apt to think there exist easy rules and principles for a pecuniary measure of that high position. It so happens, however, that there cannot be said to be a single case in the long lists of heirs apparent and presumptive that affords any assistance on the pre sent occasion. We must go far back, and still fur ther backward, again and again, end so on till we come to the very founder of the series, befure we can even fancy we found a parallel to the august pair now assuming their high state under such pro pitious auspices. The settlement upon the last Prince of Wales was so anomalous, so disgraceful, so unhappy alike in its causes and consequences, that it can have no practical bearing on the present case. We are thrown almost entirely on our own measure of this high " rank and dignity," taking all circumstances into account. The Prince of Wales we expect to outshine every subject; we wish him to show betimes the Royal qualities of private kind ness, public benevolence, and open-handed genero sity ; he is to patronise art; he is to live as a great country gentleman ; he may have tastes of his own ; he is to live among magnates whose income is written in hundreds of thousands. But, on the other hand, his very position obtains for him more consi deration than enormous estates or sums of ready money will obtain for the private man. Wealth is abundant here, and it is therefore cheap. In vain are the richest men among us striving by mere force of money to win that quiet homage and regard which is rendered unsought to ancient lineage, gentle manners, and an unsullied name. The squire and the priest have no need to squander and shine if they choose to be content with their useful office and modest rank. But to do even this re quires personal gifts which are not conspicuous in the majority of men. So also a Prince and an heir to the Throne may, with fitting graces, cheaply win his way to the hearts of all around him. So far as he may, we need not encumber his rank with vulgar magnificence and display; so far as ha may require these appliances, and must live up to his high position, we must see that he does not want for anything that is ha our power to give. The proposed settlement is all the less in amount because the revenues from the Duchy of Cornwall are taken into consideration. They are said to now yield £60,000 a year. For that we are in a great i measure indebted to the careful management of the late Prince Consort. It might have been prudent to consider whether so vast a property should be left for the future to the mere chance of a Prince combining high principle with good business habits; but, as the grant of £40,000 a year, with which this income is to be supplemented, if the whole British people were to be canvassed, and it could be ex plained to them how much each would have to con tribute to it, we do not doubt that they would give their Prince at least as much as was unanimously voted last night. How is this? we may ask. How is it that a generation which has sc ,rcely yet passed away was never so virtuously employed as in cut ting down salaries and incomes and places, and now we might safely appeal to the British people for an establisi ment worthy of a Prince of Wales ? Times are i , deed changed. But in those days Royalty, in ilddition to its own deserts—were they good or were they ill—came in for a large share of the odium accumulated by an immense mass of waste and corruption. Innumerable sinecures, and places paid out of all measure to their utility or their duties, damaged not only all our institutions, h b a u d t The the monarchy itself, in the eyes of men Th who entire to work hard for their daily bread. ~ocial fabric seemed little else than a conspiracy for taking a base advantage of the generosity of the loyal, the faith of the pious, the submission of the weak, and the obedience of the good. Forty years ago all the instincts wh ich in their bearing on a man's private life we ca ll by the this n ame of i " conscience" taught that everything n land, from the Throne and the Altar to the poorhouse and the cottage, cried aloud to be cleansed f a r s abuse,scaomrcea malversation, and oppression. T spot in the whole system on which a man might put his finger and safely call it clean. No marvel if it became the humour of the day to carp and cavil, to stint and deny, to doubt and, if pos sible, to destroy. That spirit long survived the occasion, for even when Reform had proceeded to its utmost limits, still the fear of over giving and over trusting closed the fist alike of the peer and the operative. We have outlived that fit, and can be reasonably generous. The nation will not sit down to dole out an allowance to the Prince and Princess of Wales as if it wished to give nothing, but was obliged to give something, but rather as if glad of a good occasion to be large-hearted, loyal, and confiding. What Parliament had to do was to give reasonable measure and form to this loyal sentiment. The aggregate income of the Prince of Wales is to be £100,000; and when we take into account the ac curate appreciation usually displayed by the British public of the means of those who are " possessed of aught to give," we cannot regard it as by any means excessive. HERALD.—The reiterated cheers which from both sides of the house greeted Lord Palmerston's pro posal for the maintenance of the establishment of the Prince of Wales will find an echo in the heart of the nation. Upon a question of this kind all Englishmen are united; and we sincerely congratu late the Premier who proposed, and the Prince who accepted, the modest appropriation agreed to last night. Lord Palmerston's spe ec h was a d m i ra bl y t o the purpose. There are few amongst us but appre ciate the blessings of the constitutional rule under which we live ; there are still fewer who do not find in the life of our Sovereign, and the b ene fi cen t in fluence it dispenses, a sourceo of will, heartfelt a f t i possible,sfact satisfaction. The statement made last night strengthen the affection of the country towards the Throne—not because the grant recommended is small, but because its comparative smallness proves how prudent and how considerate are the views of royalty. We venture to say that the proposal of Lord Palmerston will take the public by surprise. The general feeling will be that well expressed by Mr. Disraeli," No one can say it is excessive ; we hope it will be adequate." But nobody will read Lord Palmerston's words without, a pang of bitter regret that he to whose prudent administration we are so much indebted for the flourishing condition of the revenue of the Prince of Wales has not lived to see his foresight acknowledged by a grateful people. In former years, the Premier tells us, it was the cus tom to add the accumulating revenue of the Duchy of Cornwall during the minority of the Prince of Wales to the income of the Sovereign. Her Ma jesty the Queen was the first to depart from this practice. Under the prudent management of the from the Duchy of late Prince Conso rt the rev enue Cornwall was allowed to accumulate, until at this day the income derivable therefrom has reached the sum of £60,000 per annum ; and this sum, the savings of a wise economy, co m p r ises the larger moiety of the income of the Prince of Wales. A grant of £40,000 a year to the Prince and Princess of Wales from the Consolidated Fund, and of £lO,OOO a year for the separate use of the Princess Alexandra, as agreed to by the treaty between her Majesty and t he King of Den mar k , makes up t h e income the nation offers to th e h e i r of the throne .

He came out attired in his full-dress uni form, wearing several decorations, and requested the officer commanding the troops to put a stop to the carnage ; but while he was speaking the veteran himself received several bayonet wounds. The Rus sian officer apologised on the ground that his men were excited with drink. The writer adds that it would be impossible to enumerate all the acts of murder and pillage which the Russian troops have inflicted on the unfortunate population. Since the burning of Wonchotski the village of Bialebon has suffered the same fate. Several copies of Russian despatches intercepted by the insurgents are circu lated in Warsaw. The following is an extract from a diplomatic ncte addressed on Feb. 4 by M. Ten bogorski, chief of the Diplomatic Chancery, to M. Oubril, the Russian Minister-Plenipotentiary at Berlin ; " I add a few words to inform your Excellency that orders have been given to prepare the lodgings for the persons ex pected to-morrow from Berlin. While admitting the im portance of their mission we cannot explain their motives. We are not in a state of periculum in morte. We are not reduced; to the extremity of having need of a foreign army. For the present we ask nothing from Prussia but an inces sant and active watch at the frontiers in order to prevent the insurgents from seeking a refuge in Prussia. We be lieve that a Prussian commission composed of three mili tary men is calculated to give too great an importance to the events which are passing here. This mission might be quite as well performed by one of these gentlemen, and, if I mistake not, M. Tenbogorski has conceived an unfortu nate idea in proceeding to Berlin. His presence has alarmed theilPrussian Government, and he has painted the devil in blacker colours than he really is. I should feel obliged to you, Monsieur le Ministre, to send me a secret telegraphic despatch to. day, to give me the details and the motives of this proceeding. M. Reich, an Aide-de-Camp of the King of Prussia and Captain Verdi have arrived at Warsaw. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GREAT EASTERN. It appears from an official document that the directors of this company " have determined to re commend a dividend at the rate of 2-1- per cent." SOUTH-EASTERN. The directors of this company have resolved to recommend the proprietors at the ensuing half yearly meeting, on the 26th inst., to order payment of a dividend of 18s. on each £3O stock, being at the rate of £6 per cent. per annum. The report of the directors states that the gross re ceipts for the half-year ending 31st of January last amounted to £659,686, including £31,904 for steam boat traffic, as compared with £594,646 for the cor responding period of 1861-2, being an increase of £65,040. The ordinary expenses during the half year amounted to £251,230 ; the rates, taxes, tolls, and Government duty to £35,754; and the working of the steampacket service to £16,855. After pro viding for rents, interest, annuities, preference di vidends, &c., there remained a net balance of £224,148 available for dividend on the ordinary stock of the company. A dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum would absorb £223,011, and leave £1,117, and this rate of dividend the direc tors recommend to be paid on the sth of March. The gross receipts for the half-year ending 31st of January last amounted to £594,646, the working expenses to £285,883, and the net receipts to £308,763, being £44,865 more than for the corresponding period of the preceding year. There had been an increase of £37,839 in the gene ral passenger receipts for the half-year. Part of this (£9,895) was attributable to the increase of conti nental traffic arising from the late International Exhibition ; but the greater part (£27,944) had been derived from the steady increase of the local traffic. When the existence of competition between London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, during the whole of this period was taken into account, the re sult, as repected the continental traffic, could not but be regarded as satisfactory, while the increase of local traffic showed that the general resources of the undertaking continued to rest upon a solid foundation. With a view to the avoidance of in jurious competition and the economising of work ing expenses in the conduct of the continental traffic via Dover and Folkestone, an arrar ge ment bad been concluded with the London, Cha tham, and Dover Company, the result of which it was believed would be found beneficial to the proprietors. There had been an increase of £16,986 in the receipts for merchandise during the half- year. The parcels' traffic showed an increase of £4,063 during the last six months. The com pany's ships had been well maintained during the half-year, and performed their voyages from port to port with their accustomed regularity. The new steamships, o iand the Albertcon conduct ucEdward,t of the ihadn proved f great creased continental traffic of the last season ; the average speed maintained in the voyages made by them in all weathers having been 17.863, or nearly 18 statute miles an hour. The company's new pier at Folkestone, now nearly finished, had proved highly serviceable in the landing and disembarking o f passe ngers at more convenient hours than for merly, and in enabling the steampacket service to be conducted with greater economy and despatch. The outlay on capital account during the half-year had been £74,000, less £825 realised by the sale of surplus lands. LEEDS, BRADFORD, AND HALIFAX JUNCTION. The directors of this company have, it appears, resolved to recommend the proprietors to declare a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum for the past half- year. BRISTOL AND EXETER. The report of the directors states that the increase in the capital account during the half-year amounted to £28,960. The expenditure on capital account during the same period amounted to £30,689. The total revenue during the half-year ending Dec. 31 from all sources amounted to £183,611, and the total expenditure to £91,094, leaving a balance of £92,517, out of which had been paid £39,676 for interest on debentures and preference shares, leav ing a disposable sum of £52,841, out of which the directors recommended a dividend on the consoli dated stock at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum, leaving a balance of £2,280. The capital acount showed that £3,883,954 had been expended. WEST MIDLAND. The half-yearly meeting of this company n w i a n s held yesterday at Worcester, Mr. r e F the chair. The report, an abstract of which appeared in the Sun, was taken as read. The CLIAIRMAN said that since their last meeting a considerable change had taken place in the policy of railway directors and managers, and the system of antagonising aggression and unprofitable com petition had given way to a better state of things. He trusted that this new policy and the completion of the amalgamation be tween the Great Western and the West Midland Companies, would lead to a state of permanent peace, under which they might. cultivate the large traffic already existing without impeding the tra ffi c of their n eighbour or incurring depreciation of their own. The arrangements that had been entered into with the London and North-Western and London and South-Western Companies would be, he anticipated, moat important in their results. They were so in timately mixed up with the London and North- Western district that the agreement with that com pany would be especially important. The arrange ment contemplated through booking, through traffic, contingent running powers, and in some mr . ita in n:es absolute running powers; and h e . (the chair ma n) sincerely sincerely believed that large and unportacustuvu other companies who had entered a P h e :a t r v t e m an t i h t dland would accrue not only to this c omp any b e great increase of ments—(hear, hear) —and that from the increased ac - traffic would eventually. flow be afforded to the commode tion which traffic between Basingstoke and Southampton, and down to outhampton. An cintotnese err tto thege f conveying their trains they would e ? p o w o w ° w e u ersrohad been secured for the agreement was also in . contemplation with the South Eastern Company for an interchange of traffic at R ea di ng which had .. long been looked for but was not e a a n r d, am an o d un S t o e u d th to W i a i les Companies for the corresponding p agi o fi n -dy d l in . g hall-year of 1 yet realised.

This large increase was accounted for by the fact that the mileage in the last half-year was very much larger than that of the corresponding half-year of 1861. The receipts of the South Wales were included, and there was also the Worcester and Hereford line completed; whereas for the greater part of the previous half-year that line had only been opened as far as Malvern. There was also an increase in the receipts of the Severn Valley line, the Bourton-on-the-Water branch, the Witney branch, and the Ely Valley, and the Leominster and Kingston receipts were included ; so that they could not make any comparison between the receigt s of the past half-year and those of the c , orrearodlinng six months of the preceding year . expenses had increased about 4 per cent. rhe The net "' CO\ 4 - 11 ./OV;'A - • • revenue amounted to £833,779, - 4"; ;V j 5 .7 there had tr- - C'" inPrease of int .. 1 4 - 60 . 401 £15,485; and £ lO , OOO had been id .for-Tyallitg.4 mentary elpenses. Looking to the lirge in4rease._; of working expenses, he thought that a large saving might be effected. He congratulated the share holders on the abandonment of the East Gloucester shire line. After some further remarks, the Chair man moved the adoption of the report and accounts. Sir M. PETO, M.P., seconded it. The report was adopted, and resolutions declaring the dividends recommended in the report were passed. Thanks were voted to the chairman, direc tors, and officers of the company. PORT CARLISLE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Monday in Carlisle. The Rev. J. Hey sham presided. The report stated that the lease of this under taking to the North British Company had been executed and completed, and the accounts between the two companies adjusted. The half-year's rent, after deducting income tax, left £1,492, out of which the directors recommended that, after de claring the dividend of 10s. per cent., to which the dehenteLre stock was entitled under t he Leasing Act, a dividend pf 10m. per cent. be declared on the original stock of the company, leaving a balance of £6O for the next half yea:. The report was adopted, and the usual formal re , solutions were passed. LLYNVI VALLEY. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Great Western Hotel, Pad dington, Mr. M‘ Gregor in the chair. Mr. SAUNDERS, the secretary, read the report, which stated that the gross revenue of the com pany was £9,427. The amount required for the 5 per cent. dividend on the preference stock was £3,378, leaving a balance available for dividend of £853. To that balance the directors proposed to add from the reserve fund £528, and to declare a dividend on the ordinary stock at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, free of :income tax. The reserve would then amount to £6,255 The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, stated that the line waz i new one, having been opened only - ,12 months. The traffic was deve loping itself, and he had no doubt they would be able to show a very considerable increase in their receipts during the next half-year. The greater portion of their preference stock had been placed, and the remainder, he had no doubt, would soon be taken up. Mr. BAKER seconded the motion. Mr. EAGLESFIELD moved as an amendment that the dividend for the past half-year be at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, so as to make the dividend for the year 5 per cent. Mr. WARNER seconded the amendment. The CHAIRMAN opposed the amendment, because he thought it prudent to retain the reserve, in order to give security to those who took up the 5 per cent. preference stock. After a long discussion the amendment was with drawn, and the report was unanimously adopted. Dividends at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, less income tax, were then declared on the first and second preference stock, and at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, on the ordinary stock of the company, payable on the 2d March. Mr. Macgregor, the retiring director, was then re-elected, as was also Mr. G. Woolcott, the retiring auditor. The proceedings then terminated. MERTHYR, TREDEGAR, AND ABERGA- VENNY. The half-yearly meeting was held on Monday at the offices, Abergavenny—Mr. Bailey, M.P., in the chair. The report stated that the Abergavenny and Brynmawr section of the line was completed by the Ist October last, and since that time the London and North-Western had worked it in ac cordance with the terms and conditions of the com pany's " Leasing Act, 1862." The first payment by the London and North-Western fell due on the 31st December last, and the amount was sufficient to declare a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent per annum for the three months on the share capital. Mr. Gardner, the engineer, reported that the works were proceeding in a satisfactory manner, and would be completed by June next. The report was unani mously adopted, and the chairman and Mr. Brown were re-elected directors. The capital account showed that £199,618 had been received, and £175,886 expended, leaving a balance of £23,752 to the credit of the company. GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held.on Saturday in Dublin—Mr. VV. Haughton in the chair. The Secretary read the report, an abstract of which has already appeared. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, adverted to the loss the country had sus tained from three deficient harvests, and congratu lated the shareholders that the directors had been enabled to recommend them an undiminished divi dend for the past half year out of the net profits of the railway, carrying forward a balance of £2,800 for the next account. He stated that the company had issued new stock to the amount of £44,000 during the past six months, and that about a simi lar amount had been expended on the Nenagh Under the head of rolling stock about £6,000 had been expended. One new engine had been placed upon the line, and three others were now in a for ward state of construction at the company's works, to be ready by the time the Nenagh line was °pone for traffic. When these engines were completed, the number would be 90. They had expended about £4,000 on a very complete apparatus for creosoting timber, and he had been informed by their engineer that creosoted timber after it had been in use for 20 years was found to be almost as sound as the day it was put down. He believed the average duration of sleepers laid down in the ordinary state was not more than 12 or 14 years, so that eventually they would save something by creosoting them. After alluding to the various items of traffic which had shown a decrease as compared with the corres ponding period of the preceding year, he stated that unless they could diminish their working expenses or increase their receipts, it would be quite impossi ble to give the proprietors the same dividend they had heretofore been in the habit of giving. Th e company was placed in a favourable position with regard to its stock. They had a very large amount of original stock and a very small amount of prefe rential stock and bonde as compared,with most other companies. The consequence was that it required a very large diminution in the revenue to effect a small diminution in the dividend. A reduction of about £20,000 in the net revenue for the year would cause a diminution of only 10s. per cent. in the dividend. Mr. MURLAND seconded the motion for the adop- tion of the report. _ A discussion ensued respecting the rates for traffic charged by the company and other matters, in the course of which it was stated that the board had not yet entered into any negotiation with the Cork and Youghal Company for the purchase of their line. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, de claring a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. on the preferential stock, and of 6 per cent. on the consoli dated stock of the company. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. - - MALICIOUS DAMAGE.—Between 9 and 10 o'clock on Monday night the extensive wine cellars of Messrs. Chamen Brothers, wine nierchanta, situate under Percy Chapel, Charlotte street, Fitzroy-synaref were broken open by some person or persons, and wine in bottles and wood to the amount of £5OO destroyed, the bottles being smashed and the bungs drawn from the pipes, the flooring of the cellars being completely saturated with the wine which was allowed to Bow all over the place. A reward of £5O is offered by the firm for any information which may be the means of the persons who have committed this outrageous and wanton act of destruction being apprehended. It is said that none of the wine has been taken away. The mat ter is in the hands of the police. THE DUTY ON FIRE INSURANCE.—The secretaries of the following fire insurance offices, for the third year consecutively, have within the past fortnight signed a petition to the House of Commons for the abolition or re duction of the duty on fire insurances.

THE ROAD MURPER.—We hear, on what may be considered reliable aurboiity, that the circum stances connected with the mysterious murder of Francis Saville Kent at Road on tho 29th of June, 1860, are likely ere long again to become the subject of judicial investiga tion. COTTON FROM BOMBAY AND CHINA.—TWO ships from Bombay, the Peerless and Beeston Castle, arrived at Liverpool, yesterday, the former with 3,911, and the latter with 4,468 bales of cotton.
