This Company is established for the purpose of transacting the ordinary business of a first-crass d scount house. Until within the 'az t few years this profitable branch of c Ininer cial enterprise has been in the hands of a few private capi talists, and aitoough from the ma,nitune of discount opera tions in the City of London it is a legit ma e bus,n,ss for a joi t-stock company 0,, ly one such ompany is at present in exister. ce. This ri,a , partly be accounted for by the want of experience in the application to such a company of the law of limited liability, and t e fear in monetary circles that the pu lie would hesitate to deposit large sums of money wit.' a compan v so c,)nstituri ed. This uncertainty, however,nc longer exists, as the Company referred to ha-eon depos tat t he present time over four mil lions of money—a significant evidence of the confidence which t e uhiic is pr pared to place in such in an establishment when pi ope, ly managed. The Company alluded to have just declared a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, carrying over to the next account an amount almost equal to that appropriated to divi; dends ; while their shares command a premium of £3 15s. to £4 per share upon £5 paid. In establishing the City Discount Company (Limited), the Directors do not pretend to introduce any novelty in their tranasactions, their aim being to secure a first-class business, and not to endanger the capital of the Company by taking undue risks, or adopting any measure that will not tend safely and legitimately to promote the success of the under taking. The operations of the Company will embrace— The Discounting of approved Mercantile Bills. Granting Loans upon negociable Securities. Receiving; Money on Deposit, at Call, and on Short. Notice, or for longer periods under special agreements. The Directors have concluded a preliminary agreement, which will enable the Company to acquire an existing first class business with which to commence operations forthwith. Applications for shares must be made in the form annexed to the prospectus, accompanied by the deposit of £1 per share. If no allotment be made the deposits will be returned in full; and if a less number be allotted than is applied for the sur plus will be used towards the payment on allotment. Prospectuses and Forms of Applications for Shares may be obtained at the Temporary Offices, and of the Brokers and Solicitors of the Company.

As One result of this pacification, the directors have come to such terms with the Andover and Red bridge Railway Company as they trust will be sa tisfactory to the proprietors. The report of Mr. Beattie, the locomotive engineer, states that the ex penditure in his department has been £89,759 during the half-year, and in the carriage depart ment £20,574, or at the rate of 8.85 d. per train mile for the former, and 2.03 d. for the latter, being mo derate figures for a line with heavy traffie and steep gradients. All the charges for renewals are in cluded in the revenue account, amounting for the half-year to £10,960, exclusive of the amount for extensive restoration of parts of other engines, also charged against revenue. The capital account showed that £12,650,459 had been received, and £12,378,429 expended, leaving a balance of £272,030.

The report of the directors state that the balance available for dividend is £224,478, from which the directors recommend that a dividend be declared at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum, payable on the 20th of February, leaving a balance of £3,039. In accordance with discretionary powers conferred on the directors, £178,625 ordinary stock has been issued. The total capital of the company at the present time stands thus !—Consolidated stock, en titled to dividend, £7,381,282 ; preferential stocks, £1,648,619, and uncalled, £321,932 ; total, £9,351,833. The gross earnings of the company for the hell year exceed those of the corresponding period in 1861 by £100,553. This has been earned over an increased mileage of 42 miles, comprising the North Devon and Bideford extension lines, from the Ist August last. The total receipts for the half-year ending December 31, amounted, on 4421 miles, to £707,692, the working expenses to £3 0 9,989, the taxation to £30,317, and the net re vanue to £366,385 ; as compared with £606,139 received on 4001 miles in the corresponding half of 1861, £260,008 expended in working, £27,277 paid for taxation, and £318,853 net revenue, showing an increase of £100,553 in the receipts, of £49,984 in the expenses, £3,040 in taxation, £47,532 in net revenue. An increased mileage is necessarily accompanied by additional charges, all tending to the reduction of the gross earnings. The increase in the capital of the company has led to the allocation of a further portion of the earnings to meet interest; this, toge ther with the necessity of approp r i a ti ng an addi tional sum of £lO,OOO to the relaying account and other charges against revenue, such Gs the "acci dent account," for claims arising from the Wimble don accident (all of which have now been settled and charged against the revenue account of the past half-year), has also tended to r e d uce the sum which would otherwise have been available for dividend. The rolling stock has been kept i n good condition . During the past half-year, in addition to the usual working expenses , which hav e b een very _ heavy, six eng i nes a nd tenders have been cons t ru cted and charged against revenue. An increased distance of HULL AND HORNSEA. The second half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Tuesday at Hull, Mr. J. A. Wade in the chair. The report congratulated the shareholders upon the completion of the necessary capital, and the advantageous letting of the works, which were being actively carried out, so as to have the line ready for the summer traffic of the present year. The capital cost of the line would be greater than had been expected, owing to greater prices being asked for the land than had been anticipated. The directors considered it for the interests of the com pany that building at Hornsea should be encour aged, and also that first class hotel accommodation should be provided. The engineer's report showed that the chief works on the line were in a forward and satisfactory state. The financial statement showed that £18,074 had been expended, leaving a balance of £5,724. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said they had now only about £lOO of the capital unissued. The purchase of land, which was promised at an agricultural value, had given them much trouble, amounting, as it had done in many cases, to extortion. There were, however, honour able exceptions—gentlemen who had met them in a liberal spirit, who were now convinced of the uti lity of the line, though opponents at the outset. Mr. EGGINTON seconded the motion, which, after some opposition on the ground that a director who owned land at Hornsea had received, on the award of an arbitrator, £2OO an acre, was carried. Mr. Brooshooft and Mr. Sykes were then elected directors, and Mr. Stourton re-elected auditor. The proceedings closed with thanks to the chairman. GREAT NORTHERN AND WESTERN OF IRELAND. The report of the directors states that the exten sion of the line from Claremorris to Castlebar had been opened for public traffic on the 17th of Dec. The works between Castlebar and Westport were progressing, and preparations were being made for letting the contract for the section between Castle bar and Ballina, so that the works might be pro ceeded with as expeditiously as possible. The gross earnings during the half-year amounted to £11,392, and the working expenses to £5,929. The avail able balance for interest and dividend amounted to £5,802. It was proposed to pay a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, less income-tax, upon £2,160 celled up on the preference capital; and also a dividend at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax, upon the called-up ordinary capital of the company, leaving a balance of £165. The great and constant irregularity in the arrival of the trains since the opening of the line to Castle bar had been generally complained of. The traffic of the line had been latterly much depressed, which was attributed to the general poverty of the country, occasioned by several bad harvests. The report of Messrs. Fowler and Barry, the engineers, stated that the contracts between Athlone and Castlebar had been completed in a most satisfactory manner, and that the Westport Extension was being vigor ously proceeded with. The capital account showed that £437,449 had been expended. RAILWAY BILLS.

That the business and working management of a railway require that the whole time, attention, and energy of those engaged in it should be exclusively devoted to the duties; and that, inasmuch as the mode of electing directors affords no guarantee of fitness for these duties, and as the social and inde pendent position of directors, citn'otned with their private engagements, renders it impossible that they can give that continuous attention which the work ing management of a railway demands, this meeting is of opinion that the management should be con fided to a paid staff of officers, including a manag ing director as the chief, who shall be competent to carry out the policy of the directors and conduct the business affairs of the company ; and that the direc tors should confine themselves to initiating and con trolling the general policy, appointing the chief officers, and supervising their proceedings by a periodical examination and comparison of the ex penses and net proceeds of the various sections of the railway. Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. • The Duke of Somerset, as First Lord of the Ad miralty, will hold levees on Thursday the 12th, 19th, and 26th inst., at half-past 2 o'clock, at the Admiralty, Whitehall. The crew of the screw steamship London, 86, Capt. Henry Chads, were paid off on Thursday, alongside the dockyard, Devonport, by Admiral Superintendent T. C. M. Symonds. The comple ment of the London is 850, a large number are bounty men, and many were at first what is termed " green." Under skilful management they soon obtained such a state of efficiency as to elicit the approbation of Admiral Sir W. F. Martin, com manding in the Mediterranean. This good cha racter was confirmed on the 24th of January by Port-Admiral Sir Houston Stewart when he in spected the ship in Plymouth Sound. On receiving his report we believe the Lords of the Admiralty expressed their approbation in writing. Since then the men have had liberty on all usual occasions, and have returned soberly to their ship. About 300 are continuous service men, who will join the har bour flagship at the end of six weeks. When the London was returning home from the Mediterranean she experienced very severe weather, and lost some light spars. On arrival it was reported that she had carried away two of her topmasts. This was an error, as she brings back perfect the three top masts which were shipped when she was commis sioned in May, 1859. The screw frigate Leander, 51, 2,760 tons, 400- horse power, having completed fitting for the first division of the Chatham steam reserve in the Med way, was taken to the Maplin Sands on Wednes day for the trial of her engines at the measured mile. The Leander was under the superintendence of Captain r. P. Thompson, commanding the steam reserve, and there were also present on board Mr. Rumble, inspector of machinery afloat ; Mr. Blax land, chief engineer ; and Mr. Martin, assistant master shipwright. The engines, since the altera tions, were found to work very satisfactorily, and the trial was very successful. The Leander returned to her moorings in tt.e evening. Her Majesty's paddlewheel despatch vessel Cara doe, Lieut. and Commander Wilkinson , has returned to Woolwich from an engineer's trial ofmachinery, after repairs. The trial was prolonged beyond the usual test, in order to ascertain the merits of Mr. Humphrey's new superheating steam apparatus fitted to the boilers. The maximum speed attained by the engines of the Caradou wax only 1O knots per hour ; becoming overheated, the apparatus burnt away a portion of the woodwork before the foremost funnel. Rear-Admiral Lord Clarence Paget, C. 8., First Secretary to the Admiralty, Rear-Admiral Erskine, and Mr. Reed,"the new chief constructor to the navy, went down the river on Tuesday in Mr. Penn's steam yacht, on an official inspection of the model vessels Enterprise and Favourite, under construction in Deptford dockyard on Mr. Reed's approved prin ciple. They spent a considerable time in inspecting the two ships, which are both progressing rapidly, and returned in the yacht to London. The store depot ship Egmont, Capt. Cranford, left Spithead at an early hour yesterday morning in tow of the paddle sloop Geyser, on the commence ment of her voyage to Rio de Janeiro, where she will be stationed for the use of the English fleet serving in the Brazilian waters. The Geyser's towing service to the Egmont will be regulated by the state of the weather, but she will most probably see her clear of the Channel, after which she returns to Devonport, and takes on board a number of stokers for conveyance to her Majesty's ship Hogue at Greenock, and will afterwards possibly convoy the iron-cased frigate Hector round from that port ' to Spithead. The screw steam gunvessel Osprey, 4, from Wool wich and Sheerness, en route for China, arrived yesterday at Plymouth. Capt. Hartmann, an officer of the Austrian Im perial Engineers, on a special mission from the Go vernment, on Thursday visited Woolwich dockyard for the purpose of witnessing the performance of Bray's patent traction engine (doing the heavy duties of the yard in the place of teams of horses), in order to negotiate the introduction of the appa ratus in a similar manner into the Austrian service. The engine has been engaged for some weeks past in driving the machinery attached to the hydraulic press used for preparing and bending the 41-inch armour plates for the sides of the Caledonia, and also, while the repairs of the smitheries' steam-en gine, which has broken down, were in progress, in driving the two engines at the same time. Captain Hartmann expressed himself exceedingly gratified with the varied performances of the engine. He was accompanied to Woolwich by Mr. Louttitt, secre tary to the Traction Engine Company in London. Lieut. Rogers has been appointed flag lieut. to Admiral Superintendent Symonds, of the Devon port dockyard, in succession to Lieut. Colombe. Capt. the Hon. S. T. Carnegie, C. 8., is appointed Commodore Controller of the Coastguard, in the place of Commodore Hastings B. Yelverton who, by the death of Rear-Admiral of the . Red c C. Wyvill, is promoted to be a Rearß-A dm l o a ppointed a Capt. George G. Wellesley, c naval aide-de-camp to the Queen,' vacant by the promotion of Capt. Yelverton to slag rank.

The following circuLr has been issued, dated War Office, Jan. 26 : " The Secretary of State for War deems it expedient to istue the following instructions for the guidance of com manding officers and others :-1. All crime punishable by the civil power, the commission of which is brought to the cognisance of the commanding officer, should forthwith be notified by the commanding officer to the chief constable of the county or borough, that the same may be duly investi gated by the pOlice, and punished by the ordinary criminal tribunals of the county or borough. 2. In case of murder, where the accused and the deceased were both subject to the Mutiny Act, the commanding officer should request the ma gistrates forthwith to transmit a copy of the depositions taken before them to the Secretary of State, that the case may (if he deems it expedient that a more speedy trial of the accused should be had than the usual course of practice al lows) be prepared for trial by the solicitor to the Depart ment under the Jurisdiction in Homicides Act, 1862, Z. Where commanding officers, or the men under their com mand, are made defendants in legal proceedings, whether of a civil or criminal nature, the defence thereof must be conducted upon the solo responsibility of such defendants. 4. When in such cases any claim is preferred to the Secre tary of State for assistance in the defence or for the reim bursement of the cost thereof, it must clearly be shownvvith reference to the declaration or indictment (of which a copy should be sent with the application) that the act complained of was one sanctioned by competent authority, or clearly within the prescribed course of the defendant's duty. 5 Until the Secretary of State directs the solicitor to the De partment to take charge of the defence, or to reimburse the cost, ho will incur no responsibility whatever on account thereof. " EDWARD LITGARD.'' Upwards of 200 non-commissioned officers and men of the Chatham division of Royal Marine Light Infantry have been awarded prizes by the Lords of the Admiralty for excellence in rifle shooting during the year just passed. The best shot of the division will wear a badge of crossed muskets and crown, embroidered in gold, and will receive an addition of 3d. per day to his pay for one year. Ten first-class marksmen will wear a badge of crossed muskets, worked in gold, and receive 2d. a day for 12 months. The whole of the non-commissioned officers and men have obtained at least seven points in the first-class, and have passed through the usual course of judg ing distance drill. _ _ The second battalion of the 18th (Royal Irish) Regiment, at present stationed in the Channel Islands, is under orders for New Zealand, and will embark at Portsmouth on completion of transport, provision, and other necessary arrangements. The 61st Regiment, at Aldershot, will, it is expected, relieve the 18th from their present course of duty at the Channel Islands. Anti-Slavery Demonstration at Glasgow. On Wednesday evening a public meeting was held at the City Hall, Glasgow, for the purpose of expressing sympathy with the sufferings endured by the people of America in the present struggle, and to support the complete abolition of slavery in the United States. On the motion of Councillor Brown, the chair was taken by Bailie Govan, who was supported on the platform by a number of reverend, civic, and other gentlemen. The chair man having briefly traced the origin and progress ,of the struggle between North and South, Dr. Anderson, who answered at some length the asser tion that slavery was authorised by Scripture, moved the first resolution, to the effect, " That that meeting of the citizens of Glasgow desires to give expression to its deep sympathy with the sufferings endured by the people of the United States of America in the dire struggle now raging ; and its cordial approval of every measure favourable to the abolition of slavery taken by the Government and people; to express its hope, and prayer, and confi dence, that as the result of the present contest per sonal freedom will be secured to every inhabitant of the Western Continent, so that the disgrace and sin of slavery may speedily, completely, and for ever pass away from the civilised world." Mr. John M'Gavin seconded the motion. Amendments were proposua ..a buppuz. Led, amidst some confusion, by Messrs. Smith, Martin, Watt, and others, advo cating the strict neutrality of this country in the deplorable events now going on across the Atlan tic. The resolution was, however, carried by a large majority of the meeting.. On the motion of the Rev. Mr. Arnot, seconded by Mr. Crosskey, another resolution was adopted expres sive of the opinion of the meetivg that the present year was the beginning of an epoch of closer friend ship and more extended intei coarse between the people of Great Britain and America. An address to President Lincoln was also adopted, which con gratulated him upon his emancipation policy, and the concluding passages of which were as follow : " Within the brief period of your Excellency's pre sidency more has been done for the glorious work of emancipation than during the whole preceding period of the existence of the United States. We honour you, and we congratulate you. The world has learned during your presidency that America cannot stop short of the complete, absolute, and final uprooting of the iniquity of slavery; and as free men we rejoice in every measure tending to hasten this great consummation. That the day may soon dawn when no slave shall tread American soil from North to South, and the United States become in deed and of a truth the United States of free men; that from year to year the ties binding our beloved country and your own may be strengthened and our citizens be united with each other in bends of amity and peace ; and that you, when your term of office expires, may be known as the President who saved his country by doing righteously and unloos ing the heavy burdens of an oppressed race, is our sincere and earnest hope and prayer."

The WINCIIBURGH COLLISION.—The indictment against Mr. Latham, general manager, and Mr. James Boyd Thomson, superintendent of traffic of the Edinburgh and Glasgow railway, on which they are to be tried at the High Court, Edinburgh, on the 16th inst., de scribes the portion of the line on which the collision took place, and sets forth the d ut y of the accused to see that proper regulations were made and observed for the safety of the traffic there u p on. It recites certain regulations originally issued by the directors with regard to the signals and points on the single lino and the duties of the pilotman, and alleges the neglect of the accused to enforce them. It then sets forth that on the 12th of September a new special order was issued by Mr. Tho mson , a p n ro d pe a r p a p a T u ed ns b af y e, Mr. and Lat h am , which is described as "improper insufficient to provide for the safety of the lieges, inasmuch e as it dispensed with the du e an d reasonable precautions pro vided by the regul a ti ons i ssued by the directors and then in force ; did not make sufficient provision for identifying the engine used as a p i lot-engine, and distinguishing it from engines otherwise ,used upon the line, and did not contain any sufficient rules for the direction and guidance of the driver of the pilot-engine and other engines used in the same traffic, and of the pointsmen and signalmen, so as to secure the observance of the said special order itself in such a manner as duly to provide for the safety of the liegos.'j To the aforesaid neglect of duty on the part of the accused the catastrophe of the 13th of October is attributed, and, in consequence of the loss of life, they are charged with cul pable homicide, and alternatively with culpable neglect of duty, it being competent for the jury to return a verdict under either of the two charges. Forty-nine witnesses have been called for the Crown, including Newton, the points man (who is designated as a " surfaceman or labourer "), Davidson, the driver of the first engine, and other officers of the company, principal and subordinate , . The trial is l ex pected to last several days, ea ding counsel of the S co t c h bar having been retained for both of the accused, for whom separate defences will necessarily be offered.
