IRISH GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.- DUBLIN TO GALWAY.—The Dublin and Galway Bill having been lost for this Session, the Provisional Committee haVe to acquaint the scrip-holders and the Public that, at a meeting of the Board, held this day, it has been resolved to proceed to procure an Act in the next Session of •Parliament, for making the Railway between Dublin and Galway, the success of which appears to be insured by the decision of the House of Commons in favour of the merits of this line, and the strong expressions of a like tendency elicited in the debates in the House of Lords. The line will have the strenuous support of the great landed proprietors generally, and of other interests throughout the west of Ireland, as well as the cordial co-operation of the Great Southern and Western Railway Company. ' The interests of the present scrip-holders will be careffilly pro tected in the arrangements to be made, WI particulars of which will be published in a few days. FITZN. FRENCH, Chairman. J.

(With power to add to their number.) This Company is originated on data supplied by official returns, obtained from a majority of the leading cities and towns in the king dom, exhibiting an almost nominal risk in drapers' establishments, and is based upon the principle of excluding all extra hazardous risks ; but power is intended to be vested in the Directors to accept (if they think proper) applications for general insurances, where the risks can be clearly shown not to exceed that of a general draper's es blishment. The effect of a preliminary canvass has been to obtain large pro mises of support in different districts, both by intended insurances and subscription for shares. It is believed, also, that (rejecting all extra risks) the Directors will be in a condition to materially reduce the premiums payable for insurances. A small portion only Of the capital is intended to be called for, and the proprietors are to be entitled to interest on the same, and to one third of the clear profits ; one-third being also retained to consti tute a sinking fund, and one-third distributed in bonuses amongst the assured.: The liability of the shareholders to be effectually limited to the amount of their subscription to the Company, the usual protective clause being inserted in all policies issued. It is, intended to give .a preference in the allotment of shares to parties interested in the drapery business, and an early day is ap pointed for the allotment.

This Railway is intended to commence at or near to Derby, and passing through the rich Mineral Districtof Itilburne, Denby, Codn r Park, and Pinxton, to proceed to Mansfield and East Retford, and terminate at Gainsborough ; thus completing a direct trunk Line of Railway across the kingdom from the Humber to the Severn, and forming the nearest route that can be taken between the important Ports of Gainsborough, Hull, Great -Grimsby and the Midland Counties, Derby, the Potteries, Birmingham, Gloucester, Bristol, &c. An Act of Parliament has just passed for the formation of the Bailway from Gainsborough to Great Grimsby, with a Branch to New Holland, opposite to Hull. The proposed Railway from Derby to Gainsborough will proceed in a direction not contemplated by any other Company, and will neither compete with any existing projects, nor oppose them ; it will traverse a country through which the want of railway com munication is seriously felt, and along which this project has been most cordially received. The traffic from local sources in the neighbourhood of Derby alone will be immense.. The conveyance Of the mineral wealth of the ex tensive and flourishing Iron-works and Collieries between Derby and Pinxton (a district which, for its productiveness, stands unrivalled throughout-the United Kingdom), and of Coals from the Portland Colliery, will yield an amount of revenue which, could it be exactly stated, would seem rather a gross exaggeration than a fact; while from Mansfield, celebrated for its first rate building stone, and tha superior quality of its lime, and from the agricultural districts be tween Mansfield and Retford, and thence to Gainsborough, the traffic in oilcake and tillage, barley, and other agricultural produce, will he scarcely less important—insuring to the promoters of this under taking a highly remunerating income. Independently, however, of these local sources of revenue, which alone would amply justify the formation of the line, the through traffic, consisting of the manufactures of Birmingham, the earthenware of Staffordshire, and the varied produce of other towns in the Midland and Western Counties, to the ports of Gainsborough, Hull, and Great Grimsby, for exportation, with the return of timber, deals, and other Baltic and foreign commodities, cannot fail to be most produc tive, whilst at the same time the proposed railroad offers to passengers to Hull, &c., a saving of thirty miles of distance over the present route. The Great -Grimsby Railway Company who have obtained their Act for making the line from Gainsborough to Great Grimsby, have made arrangements with the Dock Company there to form (under the sailed m of an Act of the Legislature) but one concern, and they intend to render Great Grimsby, by a large outlay of capital, a sea port of the first importance. A general survey of the country has been already made, and no engineering difficulties whatever present themselves. A line could scarcely be found which would so little alter the features of the country. It does not interfere with any ornamental grounds, or existing navigation, and can be made at a comparatively small cost. It gives the utmost accommodation to the collieries, ironworks, 8r.c . .; near which it passes, and it does not cross any turnpike-road on a level, a circumstance which is much to be desired. The gradients on the line are exceedingly favourable, and it will pass through, and near to, several excellent stone quarries, well adapted for brilge building, and the ballast throughout will be found on the line. The greatest respect will be paid to the residence and domains of the nobility and gentry in the neighbourhood through which the line will run, in order to avoid their being prejudicially interfered with. Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum, on all deposits and calls until the opening of the line, and the liability of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions. Application for shares, in the following form, accompanied by a banker's or other satisfactory reference, may be addressed to the so licitors, or' to the undermentioned share-brokers, from whom pros pectuses, &c., may be obtained.

YORK, WEINESDAY.—Y, sterday afternoon the half-yearly general meeting of the above Company was held in the board room, at the station in this city. There was an extremely large attendance of Shareholders. Mr. George Hudson took the chair. The following is an extract from the report : "The Directors have the satisfaction of presenting to the Proprietors the usual statement of accounts for the half-year ending the 30th of June last, showing a balance in favour of the Company of 49,3071. 15s. The Directors recommend that a dividend be declared after the tate of 101. per cent. upon the original 50s. and 251. shares, and after the same rate upon the new shares created for the Leeds and Selby purchase, de ducting interest at 41. per cent. on the amount not called up on those shares. The total amount of dividend will be 44,220/. (which it is proposed to pay without deduction for property tax), leaving a surplus of 5,087/. 15s. to the credit of the Company. The threeters baye s to report to the Proprietors that, during the present session of Parliament, the royal assent has been given to the following Acts of which this- Company were the promoters, viz :—‘ An Act for enabling the York and North Midland Railway Company to alter the line of the York and Scarborough ttaiiway near the city of York ; for authorising the !sale of the Whitby and Pickering Railway to the York and North Midland Railway Company, and for enabling the said Company to make certain deviations or alterations in the line of the Whitby and Picker ing Railway; for enabling the York and North Midland Railway Company to make a branch railway from theline of the York and Scarborou ;It Railway, in the township cf Seamer, to Bridling ton; for enabling the York and North Midland Railway Com • piny to make a railway from the line of the York and North Midland Railway to Ilarrogate.' Thus adding sixty-four miles of railway to the length of line previously under the management of the York and North Midland Company. The Directors congratulate the proptietors upon the auspicious opening of the Scarborough branch, the traffic upon which has fully equalled their expectations. They add the usual cash statements, and also the following details of the traffic for the last half year, viz.:—Passengers: first class 39,643, second class 59,701 Va, third class 119,756; total 219,100 1 / 2 . Horses 1,941, carriages 490, dogs 496, cattle 10,678, pigs and calves 2,609, sheep 52,469. Goods 121,934 tons; coke, stone, &c., 11,025, coal 22,346, lime 3,315 ; total 158,620 tons." The CHAIRMAN then addressed the meeting, and said— The results of the past half year cannot fail to be satisfactory to you, as we are enabled to pay you a dividend equal to that which we anticipated when we last met you. There is every prospect that, on the termination of this half year, there will be left a surplus as large as that of the corresponding half of last year. No doubt in the next session we shall be enabled further to extend our line; and we have a fair chance of ob taining, an important link in the Pocklingten and Beverley dis trict. We intend immediately to have the various lines which have been granted to us staked out, and I confidently hope that we shall be able, by this time next year, to open a portion, if not the whole, of these lines.—(Cheers.) We have cause to congratulate our Shareholders on the splendid prospects which have been opened to them by the opening of the York and Scarborough line.—(Hear.) That line will, in my opinion, be one of the most productive in the kingdom. We do not, as you are aware, carry coal upon it yet, as we were anxious, in opening it so soon, to give the public this summer an easy mode of communication to one of the most delightful water.ng place• in the country. We have executed the lease of the Hull and Selby line, and it has received the seal of the Company. The line is now worked under the management of the York and North Midland Company, and in the returns of the receipts those on the Hull line are included. It requires 1,000/. a week for the rent of the line, and, deduct ing that and the working expenses from the receipts, the re mainder will be applicable to the dividend of the York and North Midland Company. There is in that, I think, a fair pros pect of the present dividend being continued. I have seen lately some observations which have been made with resaect to the accidents which have recently occurred on some of the rail ways. I believe that as long as the human mind is subject to error, accidents will occur front causes which Directors of companies cannot avoid. But depend upon it that you will have them much more frequently it you have lines such as have been granted this session, constructed with very bad gradients. It has been said in the House of Commons that one out of 150 is not a bad gradient; in fact, I believe it has been said that it is a good gradient, or, at all events, that it is not objection able. On the lines to which I have referred, the gradients will be such as to require an engine behind the trains as well as in front. Accidents frequently occur in consequence of this, which it makes one shudder to think of. On the lines over which I preside, we never allow the locomotive to be be hind the train. I think the practice is attended with the utmost danger. I do not mean to say that it ought never to be re sorted to, but it should only be at stations and other places where the trains go slowly. See the Croydon line—an engine is placed behind every train, as well as one in front. Suppose a sudden stoppage took place of the engine in front, the engine behind, if it bad any power at all on, would double up the train. I can conceive nothing more objectionable than for Parlia ment to sanction bad gradients, when better might be obtained ; for the public, when bad gradients are sanctioned, are deprived of the advantages attendant upon the improvement of the loco motive engine. It is gratifying, indeed, to find that the York and North Midland has been so free front accidents. We have had only one collision since the line was opened—we have had but one fatal accident. I do not say this boastingly, but in a spirit of thankfulness. Sir Robert Peel the other night said that something ought to be done to teach Directors of railways due responsibility. Had he known half the anxiety and care which exists in my mind when an accident does occur, I am confident that he would not feel that there was any necessity for placing greater responsibility upon us titan at present exists. I will not allude to the London and York. Lord Brougham, although he is very funny, and has no harm in him, has, I think, been rather mistaken in his de fence of the subscription contract of the London and York. I know myself one case in which a minor signed the deed for 67,0001. Of course the deed is not binding on such a party. I do not, however, think that this is the proper way to attack a company. We go to the merits of the case, but we were not allowed to go into the merits of our own case. I regret the decision which the London and York Committee came to, as I think it is wrong. We took every care, however, to have our case heard, and we must submit to that tribenal which has a right to decide upon the matter. There is another ap peal, and in that I trust that we shall be more fortunate. We were put to great expense in appearing before the Committee of the House of Commons, and all to no purpose, as we were not allowed to be heard. We intend to petition the Speaker for a return of the fees which we paid, as the House of Com mons would surely not refuse to give us a hearing and take our money as well.—( Cheers.) I trust that whatever may come to pass, we shall always be in a position to pay you your pre sent dividend ; and if . we can do that we need not care much who makes new lines. We may cry content while we get our dividend. If the London and York can get ten per cent. without interfering with us, I, for one, shall not regret it. I always feel rejoiced to see my neighbours succeed in any un dertaking in which they may embark. r he Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst loud applause. The resolution adopting the report was carried unanimously, and a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. was then declared and made payable on the 19th inst. The CHAIRMA N said the next resolution was a formal one, to sanction the pdrchase of the Whitby and Pickering Railway. The Bill authorising the purchase had received the royal assent. They were already proceeding with the relaying of the line. It ' had been said that this Company had the control of almost all the ports in the kingdom, but i,e trusted that whatever power they possessed they would use it to the benefit of the public ; for unless they did so, they would not retain their power long. The resolution was passed. The CHAIRMAN said the next resolution had reference to the extension shares. They intended to lay down a double line of rails to Scarborough, as the traffic fully justified such a step. They hoped to have the double line laid down to Mahon in the course of six or eight weeks, as in all probability the acts which had received the royal assent would swallow up all the money which had been received on the extension shares ; there would therefore be new creations of York stock. The resolution, which was merely formal, to provide for the registration of the shares, was then put and carried. TESTIMONIAL TO MR. GEORGE STEPHENSON. The CHAIRMAN said the next resolution which he had to submit was one which had passed one of the largest meetings which the Midland Company ever held. It had reference to Mr. George Stepenson.—( Hear, hear.) That gentleman had peculiar claims upon this Company, as it was to his fostering care that they were indebted tor their present prosperity. When this Company was in difficulties, he it was who came forward, and at a time when parties refused to register their scrip, induced his friends to come into the undertaking, and purchased largely himself. But his claims stood upon far higher grounds than those, namely, the great benefits which he had conferred upon his fellow-men.—(Cheers.) The re solution was, that that Company do concur with the Midland, the Newcastle, and Darlington Company in erecting a statue to Mr. George Stephenson, and in presenting him with a ser vice of plate, and that the Company do subscribe 2,000/. for that purpose.—( Cheers. ) The motion was carried amidst much applause. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a Proprietor, said Scarborough t to a vi. stock would stand in the same position w ith re dend as the old stock, and the Directo rs would,L ei solidate di the new shares into stock at the next meeting. TESTIMO NIAL TO MR: Mr. JENNINGS then proposed a similar resolution resolution to that • which was passed at the last meeting of the Midland for a tes timonial to Mr. Hudson. Mr. G. WALKER seconded the motion, which was carried amidst loud applause. The ClrAlßrtnN briefly returned thanks. A vote of thanks to the Chairman and Directors closed the proceedings. NEWCASTLE AND DARLINGTON. The half-yearly meeting of this Company was held immedi ately on the close of the York and North Midland Company's meeting, and in the same room. Mr. Hudson again took the chair. Mr. CLOSE then read the report of the Directors, as follows : " The Directors have much satisfaction in referring the Pro prietors to the accompanying statement:of their accounts for the half-year ending the 30th of June last, showing a balance in NOTICE. MANCHESTER, MIDLAND, and GREAT GRIMSBY JUNCTION RAILWAY.

The line originally projected by the Company, with some slight alteration, was adopted, and the intention of giving Wolverhampton a direct line of com menication (by a junction with the Birmingham and Derby line) with the north and east of the kingdom, was adhered to. l'his portion of the line will pass through Wednesfield, with, Pelsall, and Lichfield, to join the Birmingham and Derby line, in the neighbourhood of Alrewas. It was also deter mined to give similar direct communication to other portions , of the great mining and manufacturing districts of Stafford shire, by a line commencing at Dudley, passing by VI, ednes bury, through Walsall, to unite with the Wolverhampton line at a convenient point between Walsall and Lichfield. The Provisional Committee announced that, acting under the advice of the engineers, they had determined on increasing their capital to 600,000/. leswrcir AND BURY.—Last week the contractors com menced their labours in the presence of the Directors, amongst whom were Mr. W. Rodwell, mayor of Ipswich ; Mr. J. C Cobbold, Mr. W. Bray, Mr. J. Footman, Mr. G. Josselyn, Mr. P. B. Long, Mr. R. D. Alexander, Mr. W, !. Cobbold, Mr. P. Bruff, C.E. ; Mr. E. Ayres, and Mr. It Porter. The Company afterwards partook of a dejeuner prepared by Mr. Bruff, the engineer, Mr. J. C. Cubbold in the chair. It was stated that the contractor, Mr. Brassey, had undertaken to complete the line by the Ist of October, 1546, but that a bonus had been offered in case the line was ripened on the Ist of August, 1846, and that Mr. brassey had expressed his opinion that the line would be opened by that time. The Ipswich station will be at the foot of the hill. The tunnel at Stoke-hills will be 380 yards in length, and will pass under the Belslead road, by the Mill-house, occupied by Mr. Andrews, at a depth of 97 feet below the surface. It will differ from most others, from its being upon a curve, the radius of which is about half a mile. The height of the arching will be :25 feet, and the breadth 27 feet, and as there are three shafts being sunk For executing the work, upon which the cal,. raecd material will be drawn, and by which the bricks, cement, &e., ! for forming the arching, will he lowered, there will be no want of ventilation in passing through when finished. It is stated that three-and-a-half millions of bricks will be used in the tunnel alone. Contracts are about being entered into for a supply of 50,060 sleepers, and for the fencing of the 50 miles of line. SHEFFIELD LIN ES. —A meeting of the inhabitants of Shef field was held on Monday last at the Cutlers' Hall, convened by the mayor on the requisition of 700 inhabitants, to consider the lines connected with Sheffield. Air. Sykes addressed the meeting, and contended that the London and York line was not only best for the interests of the country, but likewise with its proposed extension for Sheffield. He pointed out the advan tages of the Bawtry Junction to connect the London and York with Sheffield ; and concluded, amid uproar, with moving that in the opinion of the meeting, the Bawtry branch of the Lon don and York was the most direct line for connecting Lanca shire with the eastern districts. This was seconded by Mr. Janice Creswick. Mr. T. A. Ward advocated the Sheffield and Lincolnshire line, as the most direct route to the eastern districts, to Gainsborough and Grimsby, and as being a more advantsgeous line for the benefit of the town, in bringing agri cultural produce to it, and in sending cutlery to other parts. He considered the Sheffield and Lincolnshire line far superior to the Bawtry branch of the London and York. Mr. W. Dixon also supported the Sheffield and Lincoln line. It would effect a considerable saving in distance, and complete the route from Sheffield to Gainsborough. It had the best gradients, and would pass through Worksop and Retford. The meeting, which was of a very stormy character, dispersed without coming to any resolution. CONTINENTAL LINES. MONTPELIER AND CETTE. —At the annual meeting of this Company, just held, a brief report was read on the finan cial condition of the Company, which set nut the receipts for 1844 at about 458,00 (18,3201. ), and the expenses at 316,000 f. After setting aside 45,000 f. for the loan account, the net profit would have been 97,000 f. (3,880/. ), but some extraordinary expenses had been incurred for renewing the rails and increasing the plant, which left a deficit of 130,000 f. (5,2001.) The report concluded by requiring power to raise 10 ,000 f. (4,0001.), by loan. There was a short discussion, and ultimately the report Vi as adopted, the accounts approved, and the loan authorised. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS —Telegraphs are to be established on all the lines throughout. France that are finished, viz., from Paris to Versailles, and St. Germains to Rouen, Havre Dieppe, and Orleans. His Majesty Louis Philippe is said to be'a great patron of the intention, and it is expected that contracts will be made by Government for carrying out a continuous string of wires fron► one e'.;d of France to the other, as the various lines are finished, viz., from Calais, Boulogne, Amiens to Paris, Havre, Bordeaux, and the south to Montpellier, Nismes, Marseilles, Avignon, Lyons, Strasbourg, and the east, thereby having the facility of communicating with the interior and the frontiers of Spain, Switzerland, Germany, and Belgium, and all the important seaports and royal arsenals of Brest, Cherbourg, Roch tort, La Rochelle, Bayonne, and Toulon. GREAT NORTHERN.—The Minister of Public Works visited, a few days since, the works of this line from the Paris station as far as Oise, and found it ready to be 'opened for traffic. if the Company was consituted. Beyond the Oise there is only one line of rails placed, as the rails and sleepers of the second will not be opened until the first week in September. PARIS AND LVoNS.—At Blaizy there are 530 workmen en gaged in the tunnel, principally masons and bricklayers. Orders have been given to increase the number of workmen, but this will prove a difficult matter, on account of the number of works occupying men on all sides. M. D'Arcy, chief engineer, has just arrived at Dijon, with an official order for commencing immediately the tunnel of Velars and the prin cipal viaducts. In the section of M. Paraudier, chief en gineer, from Dijon to Chalons-sur-Saone, the works are pro gressing quickly. The works on the Jamaica Railway are proceeding rapidly, and the sable sons of the island recently witnessed with wonder the debut of the first locomotive. No fewer than six different improvements on the principle of atmospheric traction are being propounded in France. They are entitled respectively the Halletti system, the Hedrard system, the Dembruksky system, the Andraud system, the Pecqueur system, and the Chameroy system. THE LATE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

General Pasley arrived between eleven and twelve o'clock today at Chesterford, in the train which left London at half past nine, accompanied by Mr. Phepps, the engineer of the line. In a few minutes after the General's arrival at Chester ford an engine and tender were in readiness at the station, and he proceeded to the scene of the accident, accompanied by Mr. Phepps, engineer of the line ; Mr. Anson, manager of the traffic ; Mr. Joseph Jackson, contractor of the line from Bran don to Cambridge ; Young, the driver on the unfortunate oc casion ; one or two other officials of the Company ; and the re porters of the London and local journals, who, with Mr. An son's consent, joined the party. The first object which struck us, on alighting, was one of the second-class carriages—there had been two on the train— lying disabled on the right-hand side of the road from London. It had a couple of wheels off, end was slightly damaged i n other respects. About forty or fifty yards onward in the same direction, and on the same side of the road, lay the other second-class carriage, smashed and shattered to a frightful extent with four of its wheels off, and the roof burned through in various directions. A few yards onwards, and on the right hand side also, lay the roof of the hOrse-box mentioned in the report olyesterday, which was slightly shattered. On the other side, nearly opposite, lay The 'tender, t urn ed right over, in the i
